Chapter 134: It Rained Heavily That Night
In order not to delay the pilgrimage to worship the ancestors, this convoy had to arrive at the imperial capital within the specified time. So tonight it's just slowing down, not stopping.
In the afternoon of the next day, Xia Xiao, who was no longer in the mood to continue cultivating, propped up the car window and looked at the imperial capital that was constantly approaching.
There was no shortage of dreams for this magnificent city, and the walls of the city were empty all around, and no matter how small things appeared on them, they would be clearly seen by the guards on the tall walls.
Xia Xiao took the entire city into his eyes, and this magnificent and solemn city still did not change at all.
Under the thunder and lightning roaring and the vision of heaven and earth, he revived here, and the first thing he saw when he opened his eyes was this city. The first person to know the name of the Great Wilderness City is also it-Tsui!
No matter where he wandered, Xia Xiao never forgot that this was his real home. His father and mother lived here since childhood, and he followed his eldest brother and two sisters through countless streets and alleys. The first osmanthus cake in spring and the roast chicken in Lane 48 in the west of the city are all his unique memories here.
In those years, he was demented, but he was also comfortable and happy. What's more important is that there is a home that pampers him, and the people in it take special care of him.
Compared with the huge city, the courtyard of the Xia family is just a corner, but the peach blossom trees in it, every shady corner, Xia Xiao vaguely remembers.
It is no exaggeration to say that this city has appeared countless times in Xia Xiao's dreams! But not as clear as it was at this time, and under the cloudless sky, the whole city seemed to be alive.
The pouring in Xia Xiao's dream is ugly, countless people go with the flow, without the slightest bone, they fall when they blow, and they break when they touch. This is their ability to live in the imperial capital, which makes Xia Xiao disgusted from the bottom of his bones.
On the night of leaving the imperial capital, the sky was shrouded in dark clouds, and countless people cursed. They didn't understand what Xia Xiao had done, they just wanted to express their justice. Even as the lonely carriage rushed out of the city gates and into the distant darkness, they still carried out their vicious curse.
Xia Xiao still remembered that the road ahead was very dark that night, like a path to hell. The eldest brother didn't dare to drive, only the father pulled the reins, raised the horsewhip, and unswervingly abandoned his previous life. The mighty father twitched his horsewhip in the wind and waves, and the cold and loud cheers echoed in Xia Xiao's heart.
In the dark and cold carriage, the eldest brother hugged his mother and second sister.
Suddenly, the windows of the car were blown open, and the cold raindrops of the summer night poured in, causing the four of them to feel excited.
Behind the car window, Xia Xiao still remembered the feeling of freezing to the bone. But he didn't have an extra blanket to cover himself, and from that moment on, he suddenly realized that the Xia family had fallen because of himself!
"Xia Xiao?"
Now it is clearly daylight, but dark clouds and thunder and lightning appeared in Xia Xiao's eyes, and Huiyue couldn't help but be curious and felt that something was wrong. But Shushuang shushed and motioned for her not to speak.
The wheels didn't squeak, but Xia Xiao leaned against the window and heard the wheels splashing one after another. There was thunder and lightning roaring above him, and the wind behind him howled uncontrollably.
The only remaining pony carriage of the Xia family was charged with heinous crimes, and it blended with the darkness on that rainy night. But now, two years have passed, and Xia Xiao has returned in the carriage carefully prepared by the dynasty!
Xia Xiao clenched his teeth, and he never showed that throbbing. Shu Shuang sat beside him and held his hand, as if a comfort.
"I'm here. ”
The dark clouds and heavy rain in Xia Xiao's eyes gradually turned into a soothing appearance, and when she smiled slightly, he closed the car window.
Huiyue retracted her broken gaze and listened to Xia Xiao say:
"After tomorrow, we'll have a good turn. ”
Hui Yue smiled and nodded in agreement. But tomorrow, what an extraordinary day it should be?
Pilgrimage to ancestors, final selection, these things are all crowded together. There is also Xia Xiao's conspiracy to pick the Mingguo Old House and the Zhu family, this level of confrontation is unimaginable for Huiyue.
When they entered the city, there was an uproar all around. It's not as quiet as all souls city, and they don't have that lowly feeling, but they are extremely noble, and everyone can only guess their faces, and it is difficult to see them with their own eyes.
Hearing the heavy discussion outside, Xia Xiao's stiff face stretched. He heard about the Xia family, and someone really remembered it.
"Turn another corner and walk two kilometers, and it will be Xia Fu. ”
Xia Xiao was too familiar with Shen Yan, and at this time he roughly gestured to the left, but the carriage did not stop, but just went straight to the palace. The solemn red wall gold brick is the yearning of countless women, they want to jump on the branch as a phoenix, and now the people in this team do not need to flatter, because the opportunity is in their hands.
When they got off the carriage, there were already young princesses and palace maids waiting, but Xia Xiao and Shu Shuang did not immediately return to their rooms. Because he was waiting, waiting for Fei Lian to come and arrange a place for Huiyue. This is not the City of All Souls, and it is almost impossible to live together.
While waiting, Huiyue sat in the courtyard in front of the room, looking at the glazed bricks and tiles around her, and couldn't help but show excitement and hide the sadness in her heart.
For so long, Huiyue never thought that she would be able to enter the imperial palace of the imperial capital, but now she was sitting in it and there were people serving.
With his eyes drifting, Xia Xiao saw his father-in-law coming aside.
"Young Master, the old slave has come to pick up Miss Huiyue and go to the residence. ”
"Then I'm bothering you. ”
The middle-aged father-in-law bent his waist very low, and he was screaming at this time.
"No hassle, no hassle. ”
"Father-in-law, when you make a pilgrimage to worship your ancestors tomorrow, I hope you will lead the way for Huiyue. ”
Huiyue was stunned, she could also participate in the solemn ceremony? Although she was a little afraid of the big scene, she still wanted to see with her own eyes how grand the biggest ancestor worship ceremony of the dynasty should be?
"Young master, don't worry, this is all within the old slave's business. ”
Xia Xiao and Huiyue looked at each other, and after sending her away, they and Shu Shuang went back to their rooms. This dress looks really handsome, and the texture is also very good, but it is a little awkward to wear on the body, and I am not used to it. Thankfully, what you wear tomorrow will be different from what you wear today!
Turning out a few notes from his backpack and seeing the clear handwriting on them, Xia Xiao was confident. Now that the human and material evidence is here, Zhu Heng, wait and see!
After packing up his things, Xia Xiao habitually went to look for Shu Shuang, but was stopped by the young father-in-law at the door.
"My lord, the finalists can't meet tonight, please rest in the room, and if anything, the minions can serve and communicate. ”
"It's fine. ”
Since he couldn't come out, Xia Xiao lay back on the bed, thinking about tomorrow, he had to prepare some words in advance, just in case.
"Father, mother, eldest brother and second sister, you will be back soon. ”
Thousands of miles away in the small town of Longgang, the four of them sat in the small courtyard next to the mass grave, waiting for Xia Xiao's good news. Two years of precipitation, four years of pain, will be responded to and solved tomorrow!
At night, Xia Xiao looked at the moon outside the window, he couldn't sleep for a long time, he missed his Xia Mansion, which was on the west side of the city.
