fierce fox
Work related
He glanced at Lin Huaiyi at first, but didn't speak.
How can he not understand if he is not rewarded for meritorious deeds.
If you eat someone else's sweet dates, you have to use something more valuable as a thank you gift, but not everyone can afford this thank you gift.
Accidental will kill him, let alone the face of his birthday.He looked at Lin Huaiyi quietly, waiting for what he would say next.
Lin Huaiyi seemed unaware of Wu Zhenyu's sudden change in this short period of time, and continued:
"Family visits are feasible, and this is not a sky prison. Besides, General Wu is also a cheerful person, and he didn't make things difficult for us. He has explained the cause and effect in such detail, and it is enough for us to go on a business trip to receive a heavy reward.
No matter if your lady comes to talk to me about this matter, or goes to Yingu's place, or Qin Ping, we will naturally not obstruct too much.
Your Madam's love for the General is really enviable.How can a husband ask for a wife like this? "
He didn't mention Wu Zhenyu's request at all,
I envied myself for a while, and even sighed that I had never been lucky enough to be taken care of.
I can only be a coolie to take care of others, but today my sweetheart spit out a hand of medicine.Desolate and desolate, sincerely, only tears.
Wu Zhenyu didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in this gourd of Yucheng Wang for a while, so he continued to keep silent.After he finished complaining, the jailer who went upstairs to get the tea also came back.
Even if the money is given, the jailer should not leave for too long, otherwise it is easy to change.
The emerald green leaves are soaked in hot water, jumping up and down in the white porcelain cup, and the bright and clear soup color is smudged immediately, and the fragrance is distributed throughout the interrogation room by the heat.
The fragrance of tea is ethereal and refreshing, which dilutes the smell of blood a lot.
Immediately, the two people in the room felt that the pent-up feeling in their chests was squeezed into the corner by the tangy fragrance, and they became clear-eyed with a clear mind.
"This is Xinyang Maojian?" Wu Zhenyu has a lot of research on tea ceremony, and even when he smelled it, he already recognized that it was Bailu tea produced in Huangchuan.
Bailu tea is not as fresh and tender as spring tea, nor is it dry and bitter like summer tea. Instead, it has a unique sweet and mellow fragrance, which is bitter when sipped, and sweet when swallowed.As the saying goes, if you are floating in the sky, you will be more drunk than Mu Tianxiang.
"Well, the general has good eyesight. This is the autumn tea that was just delivered this year. I took some and put it in Tingwei's mansion, but it was used by Qin Ping as a soup to relieve tiredness. No one in the whole Tingwei's mansion can recognize the goods.
I can't drink so much myself. After the spring, this batch will become old tea, which is a pity.Occasionally, I heard that the general likes to drink tea, so I might as well fetch some for the general. "
When he talked about Qin Ping's sudden thought of this morning's Bingzhicao, his face twitched because of the pain. From the other party's point of view, he was indeed a tea lover who felt sorry for it.
"Well, my lord has a heart." Wu Zhenyu usually loves Maojian and Longjing the most.But now that winter is approaching, even the best Yuqian Longjing is not as sweet as Maojian's Bailu tea because it is out of date.
After observing them for so long, Lin Huaiyi naturally would not understand this.But even when the two were sitting and drinking tea, Lin Huaiyi didn't say much.
After drinking a cup, the jailer was called to escort Wu Zhenyu to leave.
It's as if he really just said to him to come and visit, if it's not in this dungeon where people and ghosts detour.
He immediately got up and went upstairs, Qin Ping and the two looked at him earnestly.
Lin Huaiyi shook his head, "I don't want to say anything, it's still the confession before I bit it."
The two sat down disappointed again.
"Master Yin, please tell the Department of Internal Affairs to bring tea to General Wu from today on."
Yin Gu looked at the tip of the hair in Lin Huaiyi's hand, his face full of disbelief, "This is a reward from the emperor, is the prince going to give it to a prisoner?"
Lin Huaiyi naturally did not tell the truth to Wu Zhenyu.
Mao Jian, who was said to be ignored by no one, was actually a very popular sweet pastry in Ting Wei's mansion.Master Yin was born as a commoner, but he was familiar with poetry and books since he was a child, but he was always underappreciated. He was driven by his father with a stick to herd cattle and grow rice for many years.
Later, because of his good handwriting, he found an official position in the county government of his family.But because of his noble character, he didn't want to mingle with the filth of officialdom and was squeezed out by others, so he could only do some clerical work.Therefore, those who are still poor can't even afford to marry a wife.
If you marry a farmer, you have loose grain to eat, and if you marry a herdsman, you have cattle and sheep to eat. What do you do with this sour literati? Do you drink ink?
Later, it was revealed that the county magistrate bought an official and begged for a title. Naturally, he also made great efforts in this matter. The grasshopper tied to the same rope as the county magistrate was knocked down by one dragon. Appointed to the county magistrate to assist the later county magistrate.
Later, he was recommended and gradually raised until today as the supervisor of Tingwei Mansion.
After years of tossing and turning, fortunately, God follows people's wishes.
Unlike Qin Ping, who is as rich and powerful as a door god, he has always been used to thrift, and he was reluctant to drink more tea when he received it. He would take out a little bit of tea and drink it every morning during his shift. Say goodbye to a few tea leaves in a porcelain cup.
Whenever he saw Qin Ping grabbing a handful and rinsing his mouth with the unfinished tea, he would sigh in pain.
Lin Huaiyi laughed loudly, "Of course he won't be treated so favorably. Just ask the Secretary of Internal Affairs to go to the market to buy some years old tea with two coins and one tael for him to drink."
Yin Gu: ...
The stale tea on the street corner, even a poor man like him, couldn't drink it, and even if he really took it to rinse his mouth, he found the astringent taste unbearable.
Not to mention the pampered Wu Zhenyu.
I'm afraid I'll spray it all in one sip.
King Yucheng's heart is black and his hands are poisonous, and he does things without morality.
First give Wu Zhenyu the sweetness of what he likes, and then pour cold water all over his face in a blink of an eye.
From this day on, hot tea and herbal tea will be served at noon every day on the first floor of the dungeon, as if the imperial court suddenly discovered that the prisoners in these prison cells were also human beings, and gave them some normal treatment.
But as soon as the tea was in his mouth, Wu Zhenyu was so sour that he burst into tears and almost hit the wall.
He couldn't figure out how the people in the prison opposite the cup of unsavory tea drank it without changing their expressions. Could it be that the rich clothes and fine food for many years have made him even the lives of ordinary people? Can't make it through?
But he didn't know that his inmates drank ordinary tea from the street market, although the taste was not very good, it was better than the old tea dregs that were specially provided for him in his cup.
It's a sad day.
"I don't know if Mrs. Yucheng said that the next month's wife will come to visit, can she bring in some good tea from the mansion...at least give me some benefits and money..."
Looking at the flickering lights outside the door, Wu Zhenyu couldn't help but think of what Lin Huaiyi had said to him.
You can bring longevity noodles, some dry goods are fine too...
But the taste of the hair tip just now is really good, I don't know if I can ask the prince to buy some...
Humans have six desires, but appetite is the most difficult to bear.
It is easy to go from frugal to extravagant, but difficult to go from extravagant to frugal. For Wu Zhenyu, it is better not to drink this cup of tea.
But the jailer was lazy, and did not take away the tea brought at noon until the end of dinner, which made Wu Zhenyu dizzy and miserable all day long.
But for the next period of time, Huang Enhaodang's tea was drunk, and the prisoners in the prison who drank it were all smiling, and a lot of things were shaken out of the bamboo tube like beans.
This unplanned surprise brought Ting Wei Mansion a lot of rewards.
I am really grateful to the former Ting Wei for withholding the prisoners' rations. The food was either rotten or smelly, and he never treated them as human beings.
A little preferential treatment after tyranny is enough to make people grateful.
Lord Yin finally didn't have to count the tea leaves to brew.I am happy every day, full of energy like rejuvenated, and work more vigorously.
On Wu Zhenyu's birthday in the second month, Lin Huaiyi did not break his promise.
Mrs. Wu's wife really dressed up as a jailer who just came to report, and followed the people in and gave her master a bowl of longevity noodles.
When the gray-haired wife took off her mask, Wu Zhenyu's hard bones couldn't help but burst into tears in his muddy eyes.
"Junniang..." After a soft call, the two held hands and looked at each other, speechless.
Married for [-] years, the husband and wife have helped each other in the same boat, were recalled from the frontier to Beijing, guarded the guerrilla general's mansion with a false name, and raised their three sons together.
Although he was too doting and disregarding discipline, Wu Nazi made a big mistake and ignored the king's law to deal with the aftermath and conceal it for him.They did make mistakes and are now reaping the consequences.
But even the cruelest man in the world always has a shanty in his heart that is enough shelter from the rain.
The two had never been away from each other for such a long time.
Mrs. Wu's family only knew about the evil things they did when Wu Nazi was still there, but she didn't know that the source of the incident that almost wiped out the entire Wei Dynasty was because of her bewildered revenge.
When we met again, one of them was shackled and became a prisoner, and the other was shocked when he heard the truth.
But people always have to pay the price for what they have done.
Many of those who died at the hands of Wu Zhenyu couldn't even identify their corpses, and even their whole bodies were incomplete.
I don't even have a clue if I want to erect a monument for them. I don't know the date of birth or the date of death.
It had to be reburied in the barren hills on the outskirts of the city, and a wooden monument was simply erected.
"Anonymous" is engraved on it and ended his life hastily.
There are no real villains in this world, nor are there purely good people.
Everyone is like a fresh and ugly person on the stage, with their own different facial makeup, hysterically acting out their own life drama.
Nothing to do with others.
But he was involved in this chaotic world full of shoulders, and was swallowed up by a grinning smile.
☆、Chapter 41
"Master, let's eat the noodles first." The jailer had already received some accommodation instructions, and for the first time let Mrs. Wu's family come into the cubicle.
Wu Zhenyu was in shackles and it was inconvenient to hold chopsticks, so Mrs. Wu picked up a bowl to feed him.
The love between husband and wife for more than thirty years is really moving.
Lin Huaiyi's figure at the corner was hidden in the darkness, with long eyebrows and cold eyes, wrapped in a black robe, like a messenger of impermanence, who had stood there for an unknown amount of time.
After Wu Zhenyu finished eating the plain noodles, Mrs. Wu took out a handkerchief to wipe off the dirt on his face, tied up his messy hair in a bun, and took off his yellow and black prison uniform that had not been washed for a long time. , Changed into a new prison uniform handed over by King Yucheng when he entered Tingwei's mansion, put it on for my husband, and then applied medicine to the wound he was bitten by mosquitoes. It was only then that Wu Zhenyu barely looked refreshed.
After staying in this dark prison for so long, even the most vigorous adults will wither into a puddle of mud. Madam Wu's family can't help but feel sad when she sees her husband, who was once in fine clothes and jade robes, reduced to such a state. Couldn't hide it anymore, as the cheeks rustled down, it flowed into a winding gully.
Wu Zhenyu struggled to lift his heavy hand to wipe away his wife's tears, and his heart ached.
She married into Wu's mansion from the young lady of the aristocratic family, until she was a delicate and noble woman who didn't touch the sun and spring water, and accompanied him to eat yellow sand in the frontier fortress for several years.Later, he was recalled to Beijing, but he still couldn't live a very good life.
His wife also persuaded him when he did those dirty things for Nazi, but he insisted on going his own way, blinded by the so-called power and money, and felt that he was omnipotent, enough to deceive the world.However, the French Open is not missing, and who can really have the last laugh.
"Let's go, it's getting late, this dungeon is not the place for you." Wu Zhenyu said to his wife.
Madam Wu restrained her sadness, forced out a smile that was uglier than crying, and said to Wu Zhenyu: "Master, please take care of yourself..."
But what do you say to death row prisoners to take care of their health?
After thinking about this, the old lady couldn't even hold back the smirk on her face, she hurriedly covered her face and stepped out of the door.
After Wu Zhenyu waited for her to leave, his mental energy collapsed again, and he shrunk into one piece with his arms around his legs. The gatekeeper heard his hoarse cry for the first time.
Half of Lin Huaiyi's face was illuminated by the fire, and he looked at Wu Zhenyu in the prison cell from a distance, and unconsciously turned the jade wrench in his hand several times, waiting for the voice there to quiet down again, before he turned and went upstairs.
When he walked from the dark dungeon to the bright ground, Qin Ping fluttered to his side like a goose and asked, "My lord, what's the situation, my mother, Gang Wu!" Madame is crying, but that's a bad thing."
"If I knew this earlier, why did I have to do it at the beginning?" Yin Gu added a knife from the side.
Lin Huaiyi pushed away Qin Ping, who ate too much chicken and turned himself into a goose, and replied flatly, "I have moved, and there should be a reply soon."
Lin Huaiyi was right. Three days later, Wu Zhenyu asked the jailer to find Lin Huaiyi and the others for him.
After he sat in the interrogation room and drank a cup of serious tea, he said the incomprehensible three words "Tonghai Gang" to the three of them, and then fell silent again.
In the next few days, the experienced Yin Gu still couldn't pry his mouth away.
"The Tonghai Gang is located in Laiyang, adjacent to Qingshui Ocean. Its leaders in the past generations came from folk fishermen. It was originally formed to form a group to resist foreign groups who also took a fancy to their land. After several operations, it developed into an underground organization that secretly trades illegal salt.
In the south of the Yangtze River, fishermen have always been despised by people. Because of their fishy smell, no one wants to have too much contact with them. They live and eat on the family fishing boat.
The first gang leader of the Tonghai Gang was a rare talent. When he was young, he unified all the fishing boats on the Qingshui Ocean, forming a group that should not be underestimated.
Having mastered all the fresh food supplies in several nearby counties, the people on land who thought they were superior had no choice but to talk to them nicely in order to buy fresh food.
However, after the death of the first gang leader, the next few gang leaders who succeeded him were all vicious and vicious people with no morals at all.But he is extremely sensitive to the incense of copper coins, almost to the point where he can exchange his life for money, and he will look wherever there is interest.
But in order to get a share of the pie, the government pretended that they didn't know about it under the premise that nothing happened.When I left the Central Plains, his second gang leader took over, but I stopped paying attention to them later.
It's just that I occasionally heard that they were fishing in the open, and secretly did a lot of deeds enough to kill their heads.
If the prince needs it, Liu can go to investigate. "
In the general's mansion, Uncle Liu, who should have been buried in the ground, sat in front of Lin Huaiyi and said.
His face was dusty, his clothes hadn't been changed, his hair and beard were covered with grit that hadn't been shaken off, as if he had just rushed back from a long journey day and night.
"Don't worry, wait for Yin Gu and the others to find out something and gather the information together before making a decision. This old thief Wu Zhenyu is simply very shrewd. It would take a lot of hard work to find out who Fang Sheng is, let alone find out the relationship with him." Lin Huaiyi said.
"Old General Wu is probably afraid that he will be killed by the emperor in a blink of an eye if he tells the whole story that he will be useless.
After all, life is worse than death. "Lin Xu by the door came in and said.
When Lin Huaiyi saw that the ancestor had come out, he could not wait to jump from the chair to mid-air, and pulled the mink fur coat hanging next to him to put it on.
This sick man thought he was a Vajra Arhat and dared to go out just wearing a thin coat.
Lin Xu couldn't help but say to him, "Your Majesty, don't worry. I've taken the medicine for a few days and I've recovered from the wind and cold. It's sunny outside today, so I don't feel cold. I just want to go for a walk. I feel better now."
"You can be a good fart!" King Yucheng, who has always paid attention to quality, swears rarely.
However, being locked up in the room recently really made Lin Xu bored, so Lin Huaiyi didn't force him to go back to the room, and reached out to test the temperature on his forehead. The situation was not bad, so he moved a chair and gave him two. People sit side by side.
After half a year of suffering from illness, Lin Xu's body, which had been nourished by the supplements sent by the general's mansion, quickly lost weight, and he returned to the pitiful look of not having enough to eat when they first met in Beijing.
He knows that now he looks almost humanless, and he is also a little anxious, but it seems that God is against him. The more anxious he is, the slower he will recover, which dragged him into this state. spooky.
Even I can't stand the frail face in the bronze mirror.
"Master..." Uncle Liu watched him enter the door, already choked up and couldn't speak, "You have to take care..."
Lin Xu looked at Uncle Liu, who had spared no effort in taking care of him for a long time, and said, "Uncle Liu, don't worry, the illness will go away one day, but Uncle Liu...be careful in everything."
After he woke up yesterday, Lin Huaiyi told him where Uncle Liu was going.
Because there is no one around who has lived in both the Central Plains and the Western Regions for a long time like Uncle Liu, is proficient in the customs and languages of both sides, and is familiar with the terrain of the two places, and he is also careful and reliable enough to trust.
And he entered Beijing as a proton entourage, just like when he escorted Lin Seqing to the Western Regions, he did not have the right to walk freely.
Especially now that the Proton Mansion is under strict surveillance, he can only stay in the mansion every step of the way. If there is any unusual movement, the emperor will know it immediately.
Lin Xu is also the same, so he has been in Beijing for a long time and has never been outside the city.
But now there are too many things that Uncle Liu needs to do. As he himself said, if Lin Huaiyi needs it, he can immediately set off to Jiangnan to explore.
So only by making everyone think that the old butler next to Proton is dead, Uncle Liu can get a new life.
And Lin Huaiyi could also logically move Lin Xu to the General's Mansion.
"Master, don't worry about the old slave. The old slave's bones are still hard and he won't let go." Uncle Liu laughed.
Lin Xu smiled softly: "That would be the best."
"My lord, if there is nothing else, this old servant will leave first." Uncle Liu left the capital day and night and hardly slept a wink, and he was a bit overwhelmed at the moment.
"Okay, Uncle Liu is good to rest."
Lin Huaiyi got up and sent him to the back door.
Uncle Liu turned over the haystack, and a manhole cover was exposed on the ground.
This dry well is a secret passage leading to the back kitchen of Peony Garden in Yanliu Lane.
Meiniang, the little beggar who almost died at the wheel of Wu Nazi, is now the owner of the Peony Garden. She allocates the entire garden. It is not difficult to find a room for the new "cook" to live in.
Taking advantage of the fact that Uncle Liu rarely showed his face in front of people and his plain appearance made people forget it in an instant, they planned to "dark under the lights" and hide in the busiest place in the capital, which was convenient for inquiring news and meeting.
When Uncle Liu got up to say goodbye, Lin Xu also wanted to get up to see him off, but Lin Huaiyi slapped him firmly back on the chair and pinned him.
Lin Xu: "This prince is really...human face..."
After thinking about it, I was amused by this sentence, and it seems that it is not an exaggeration to think about it.
After Lin Huaiyi sent Uncle Liu away, he turned around and saw the faint smile on Lin Xu's face, which dispelled his sickness and made him feel light and warm under the sun's rays.
He couldn't help but relax a lot in his heart. He walked in front of Lin Xu and said, "Young Master seems to be in good spirits today, why don't we go out for a walk together."
Lin Xu raised her head in surprise and asked, "Is it okay... this won't trouble the prince, will it?"
He has been suffocating in the mansion for such a long time, and after suffocating in the proton mansion, he came to the general's mansion, feeling that life was becoming boring.
He's that kind of weirdo.
If there are enough choices, he might be afraid of noise or trouble, so he would rather stay in the mansion to read books, practice sword skills, raise a few cats and dogs, and then ponder over weapons, trying to be quiet.
But if the only option left was to not go anywhere in the mansion, the rebellious aura of dissatisfaction in his heart would start to make trouble, disturbing his restlessness, and wanting to go out and fly day and night.
Very difficult to serve.
Even when he was in the Proton Mansion, he was sober for some time, but Uncle Liu was so shocked by the man in black that he would not agree to let him go out. He made a bad move, bought a heavy lock to lock the door, and hid the key, so that Lin Xu could only look at the door and sigh, but there was nothing he could do.
Today, King Yucheng's "go out for a stroll" said that he is better than drinking hot wine.
"Well, now that the scourge in Beijing and China has been eliminated, and there are officials following, it's not a big deal." Lin Huaiyi smiled and said, "Just don't tell Uncle Liu that you slipped your tongue."
"Of course not." Lin Xu cheered happily and went back to change clothes.
Two hours later.
Lin Xu didn't expect Lin Huaiyi to come straight to the outskirts of the city after picking him up on the horse.
Although he knew that there were soldiers from the Northern Army and General Gongsun's government behind him, King Yucheng was really a little bolder.
in particular……
Lin Xu looked at the hands on his waist at this moment. They were pale and slender, with distinct knuckles, blue blood vessels looming, and the emerald ring on the index finger glowing faintly under the sunlight.
He was held in Yucheng Wanghuan's arms, and the two of them rode a horse together, passing through the street swaggeringly.
The capital is surrounded by mountains on two sides and water on the other, so it is easy to defend but difficult to attack. This is also the reason why the kings of the past dynasties chose the site.
On the side of the horizontal peak and the ridge, the dragon and the tiger lie down.
The most majestic of all the mountains should be Tianyu Mountain.
According to folk rumors, Tianyu Mountain is the place where ancient emperors ascended to immortality.
If anyone is lucky enough to make a pilgrimage here and be favored by the gods in the heavenly court, he will have a chance encounter and get a fairy bone. If he cultivates properly, he will be able to avoid the suffering of the world of mortals, and he will be in the fairy class with all the fairies and be worshiped by the world.
A recent legend is that the last Emperor Dongxun of the previous dynasty was tyrannical and promiscuous, killing innocent people indiscriminately and disrespecting the law of heaven. One day, thunderstorms broke out on Tianyu Mountain and fell from the top of the mountain, rolling all the way to the palace. Song Jiwen and the merry-seeking Yongjun in the village were killed, and the great country was overthrown.
But this is just folklore.
That Yongjun was forced to commit suicide in his bedroom by his prime minister's rebellion. He died without even being able to put on his coat.
Then the first emperor waited on the sidelines in the name of the Qing emperor and tied up the rebellious prime minister, although there was no one to clear.
Probably because there was no moonlight in the dark and rainy night, the eyes of the subordinates were a little degraded, they went the wrong way, and accidentally arrested Emperor Dongxun's princes as traitors.
When the first emperor found out that he had arrested the wrong person, those princes who had been blamed had already followed Emperor Dongxun to the underworld to report.
The father and son saw each other with tears in their eyes and wanted to kick each other to death again. Seeing that the two sides had such a deep grievance, there was not a drop of water in Meng Po's soup, and it was thick like porridge.
Remember to be careful not to let them be father and son again when reincarnated.
From then on, the first emperor ascended the throne and watched the world with disdain.
As for the thunder, Xia Lei was horrifyingly numerous, and if he struck an ancient tree that would make the three of them out of reach, it would be instantly scorched black, causing a natural disaster.Not to mention the rainstorm.
And the people always like to hear these strange things about the way of heaven and reincarnation, and find some people to spread some opinions among the people. After a long time, the descendants will think that Emperor Dongxun was really punished by heaven himself and sent to the eighteenth level of hell. , the Great Wei Emperor is the benefactor who followed the will of God to save the people from the dire straits.
Lin Huaiyi still remembered that he hid in a ball in brother Xu's arms and was taken secretly to the restaurant. The storyteller happened to talk about this unpleasant retribution, whether it was the audience or the little fox who was ignorant of the world at the time. Everyone was so engrossed in listening to it that they almost got up and applauded.
Until he heard the muffled laughter in Lin Yiqing's chest that he couldn't hold back.
His ears, which were quietly exposed, were pulled by Lin Yiqing's flirtatious hand, and the general, who didn't want others to feel better, began to tell the other side of the truth in his ears.
Just yelling in his ear, it's hard to shut him up.
The angry little fox bit Lin Yiqing's chest through the clothes, and shrank back into the clothes with a sad face.
As for the rumors of ghosts and monsters among the people, he is naturally not interested in them now, and he will not come to research them.
Only Tianyu Mountain, besides being the origin of all kinds of rumors, was also the place where the little fox took the general's clothes for the first time.
At that time, the little fox "traveled in the clouds" here and found a beautiful woman. Since then, the cold rain has warmed up, and the idler has become more ignorant.
☆、Chapter 42
"We're here," Lin Huaiyi whispered in Lin Xu's ear.
They found the wooden stakes in the cottage to tie the horses, looked up at the towering mountains, and their minds were equally chaotic.
When Lin Xu entered Beijing, he had seen Tianyu Mountain from afar, and heard the rumors about deceiving children copied by Uncle Liu. He was also not very interested in the story of repaying Godsend with false rumors, but the one that really caught his attention. It is a sense of sadness and sorrow that wells up in my heart.
That was the first time he had this strange emotion, but what he didn't expect was that this feeling would follow him like a shadow, coming out from time to time to poke his heart.
And now he is standing here, with King Yucheng who is half human and half demon beside him, as if he has understood something somewhere.
After all, there is nothing in this world that cannot be explained.
As if taking Lin Xu's body into consideration, Lin Huaiyi didn't take him to a high place, but took him to Yiwan Hot Spring halfway up the mountain.
This Suyan Huachi hidden in the dense forest is misty and misty like a fairyland.There is some sulfur smell in the salty taste, but it has a special flavor, which makes people feel refreshed.
"Little master, few people know about the hot spring here. It is the best and most effective divine spring in the world. It can cure diseases and dehumidify, and has the effect of replenishing. Therefore, exotic flowers and herbs can grow next to it. You can sell it if you pick one. Good price."
Lin Xu could see now that the prince would start talking nonsense as long as he had a ghost in his heart.But he also pretended not to know.
"It's fine to hit a snake with a stick." He meditated.
"But I didn't bring a change of clothes..." Lin Xu thought of this more important question halfway up the stick.
"Come with me." Lin Huaiyi chuckled, and led him to a slightly wider flat ground in the depths.
It looked like a few trees had been cut down to make room for a simple hut.
However, although the sparrow is small, it has all the internal organs.There are living room, front hall and even dining room inside. The designer should be well versed in the way of building a house, vowing to build the most complete house in the smallest space.
It's a masterpiece.
"How did the lord find it here?" Lin Xu was also a little surprised. The hot spring is already located in a remote place, and the small wooden house is blocked by those ancient trees in the mountains. Could it be that the lord built it?
Lin Huaiyi seemed to see what he was thinking, chuckled and said: "This was built when the foster father was still alive, and I heard that this is also the place where the foster father picked me up.
Because the adoptive father carries a gun and wears armor all year round, and the frontier affairs are heavy and stressful. He is troublesome and exhausting. He needs a place to clean his body and mind.
After discovering the hot spring here, he quietly built a separate house for himself to rest. Sometimes he came to listen to the sound of drizzle and taste the sound of falling leaves, which was his unknown hobby. "
The two talked while watching.
"General Lin is used to fighting on the battlefield, and he is actually an elegant person in private." Lin Xu praised him sincerely.
"What elegance, the young master praised it absurdly, but it's just for fun." Lin Huaiyi was very modest.
From the spotless decoration in the front hall, Lin Xu has already discovered that there should be people coming and going here often. There are tea sets on the table, a wine jar at the door exuding a mellow fragrance, and a pot of autumn chrysanthemums in the corner is in full bloom.
It looks much more popular than the General's Mansion, which is called a haunted house.
The pair hanging on the wall is also very interesting
On the left, "How could it be said that Wuyi is in the same robe as the son"
On the right, "listen to the rain and sunset by the window and rest"
Unlike the little fox who blushed with embarrassment when he first saw these words, he thought it was purely a confession. Lin Xu has read poetry and books, so he naturally knows that General Lin's heart is hard to let go.
He hoped that someone would fight side by side and beat all those who violated the Great Wei back to their hometowns, so that they would never set foot in the Central Plains and give the people peace forever.
When the world is settled down, find a ravine to hide in, and shoulder the self-sufficiency of the sunset to accompany the return journey, while the fishing boat sings late in the linen thatch.Not some princes, generals, nobles from aristocratic families.
It's just the husband of the person next to him, who has been side by side for half his life.
After death, you can bury your bones and accompany you, tie a red rope around your fingers, and reincarnate to continue your love.
"General Lin..." Lin Xu was speechless for a long time.
This frontier hero who died young was not afraid of wars, and the countries in the Western Regions who were capable of suppressing did not dare to change. According to the old people, his name is as powerful as the seven evil spirits in the frontier.
Only after seeing these words did he realize that in the eyes of this lifelong warrior, he still prefers a plain and quiet life to fame and fortune.
He is not one of those war lunatics who are obsessed with conquest and enjoy killing enemies.
But he didn't even wait for the same robe with his son.
His loyal emperor sent him to the frontier to die, not even enough people.
Otherwise, it wouldn't be the case that after he defeated the Huns, the last people he led would not even be enough to fight against the Yuezhi ambush.
A generation of famous generals fell under the gluttony of the hearts of the people.
"Young master, come to the bedroom to see if there are any suitable clothes."
Lin Huaiyi saw Lin Xu staring at the pair for a long time, his expression turned from admiration to sadness, and he thought it would be better to take him out earlier.
He is not recovering now, and it is not suitable for him to be in contact with too much of the past in a short period of time. It is like giving medicine to a patient. He has to be fed little by little, and he must not stuff it all in his mouth.
"Okay." Lin Xu replied.
Following King Yucheng in front of him, he walked to the small warm bedroom and opened the cupboard. Lin Xu's tongue seemed to be taken away by a cat, and he could no longer speak a word.
"Is this called suitable??"
I saw all kinds of clothes filled the cupboard, and after I took them out to gesture, I found that the clothes inside seemed to be tailor-made for him, not an inch longer or an inch shorter.And they were all the colors he usually wears, black, white, gray and blue, and he even saw a few clothes that were exactly the same as the ones he wore before...
This prince...how long has he been planning this matter...
Or when did you start planning...
The planning is also very careful, spring clothes, summer coats, autumn robes and winter cottons are all available, stuffing a cabinet full like a magic trick.
The prince's own clothes were only a few sparsely placed on top of his clothes.
But he should come here often, so there is no need to bring too many foreign things, just looking at this "son's exclusive" wardrobe, he even has the illusion that he has moved.
Now both of them blushed.
Lin Huaiyi was just thinking about Lin Xu's illness, thinking about how to do what the fairy old man said to him, "Find some important pasts to call him first, and don't overdo it.
Slowly wait until he is twenty and then wake him up with a spell.In this way, it is not easy to hurt the body, and it is not easy to be backlashed by pain to madness. "
So I suddenly forgot that I had nothing to do to buy clothes for Lin Xu. A few times I felt that the robes Lin Xu was wearing were very good-looking, so I bought the same robes and put them on for myself to enjoy myself.
I’m too embarrassed to really give away the things I bought, so I can only bring them here every time I come to collect herbs. Over time, I really put a full cabinet. I thought about building a new cabinet before. .
In an instant, the prince, who had always been thicker than the wall, felt that the hair on his back was about to stand on end.
He didn't even dare to turn his head to Lin Xu's side to see his expression at the moment.
The usually eloquent fox completely lost his mind at this moment, feeling like a puppet that the joints all over his body lacked lubrication and were jammed.
The two were silent for a while in this awkward silence, neither of them was embarrassed to speak first.
There seemed to be a flock of birds flying past the door, and the fluttering sound of wings came to the ears, and only then did the two come back to their senses.
Lin Huaiyi hastily pulled out two pieces of clothes blindly without even looking at them, and closed the cupboard door first to cover up, covering up a cupboard of criminal evidence.
As long as it is invisible, it can be regarded as non-existent.
"My lord..." Lin Xu was delighted when he saw Lin Huaiyi's rare thin-skinned appearance, "The two pieces you took look like they belonged to the same person."
Of course he would not be so shameless as to claim that the clothes in the closet were prepared for him by King Yucheng, it is still important to be polite.
"The prince should have brought others here many times."
Lin Xu smiled slightly, and a sly look flashed in his eyes the moment he lowered his head, "It's no wonder that the interior of the house is so well-furnished. This is indeed a treasure hidden in the forest, a rare treasure in the world that is hard to find."
Lin Huaiyi suddenly felt a chill down his spine.
Ever since his memory began to come back intermittently, this person seemed to be becoming more and more dishonest.
If I wait until the day when I fully recover, why don't I start being bullied by him again?
This is not acceptable, his ten years of age are not in vain.
You must know that Lin Huaiyi's ruthlessness is not just for the outside world, whenever the fox feels in danger
How can he not understand if he is not rewarded for meritorious deeds.
If you eat someone else's sweet dates, you have to use something more valuable as a thank you gift, but not everyone can afford this thank you gift.
Accidental will kill him, let alone the face of his birthday.He looked at Lin Huaiyi quietly, waiting for what he would say next.
Lin Huaiyi seemed unaware of Wu Zhenyu's sudden change in this short period of time, and continued:
"Family visits are feasible, and this is not a sky prison. Besides, General Wu is also a cheerful person, and he didn't make things difficult for us. He has explained the cause and effect in such detail, and it is enough for us to go on a business trip to receive a heavy reward.
No matter if your lady comes to talk to me about this matter, or goes to Yingu's place, or Qin Ping, we will naturally not obstruct too much.
Your Madam's love for the General is really enviable.How can a husband ask for a wife like this? "
He didn't mention Wu Zhenyu's request at all,
I envied myself for a while, and even sighed that I had never been lucky enough to be taken care of.
I can only be a coolie to take care of others, but today my sweetheart spit out a hand of medicine.Desolate and desolate, sincerely, only tears.
Wu Zhenyu didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in this gourd of Yucheng Wang for a while, so he continued to keep silent.After he finished complaining, the jailer who went upstairs to get the tea also came back.
Even if the money is given, the jailer should not leave for too long, otherwise it is easy to change.
The emerald green leaves are soaked in hot water, jumping up and down in the white porcelain cup, and the bright and clear soup color is smudged immediately, and the fragrance is distributed throughout the interrogation room by the heat.
The fragrance of tea is ethereal and refreshing, which dilutes the smell of blood a lot.
Immediately, the two people in the room felt that the pent-up feeling in their chests was squeezed into the corner by the tangy fragrance, and they became clear-eyed with a clear mind.
"This is Xinyang Maojian?" Wu Zhenyu has a lot of research on tea ceremony, and even when he smelled it, he already recognized that it was Bailu tea produced in Huangchuan.
Bailu tea is not as fresh and tender as spring tea, nor is it dry and bitter like summer tea. Instead, it has a unique sweet and mellow fragrance, which is bitter when sipped, and sweet when swallowed.As the saying goes, if you are floating in the sky, you will be more drunk than Mu Tianxiang.
"Well, the general has good eyesight. This is the autumn tea that was just delivered this year. I took some and put it in Tingwei's mansion, but it was used by Qin Ping as a soup to relieve tiredness. No one in the whole Tingwei's mansion can recognize the goods.
I can't drink so much myself. After the spring, this batch will become old tea, which is a pity.Occasionally, I heard that the general likes to drink tea, so I might as well fetch some for the general. "
When he talked about Qin Ping's sudden thought of this morning's Bingzhicao, his face twitched because of the pain. From the other party's point of view, he was indeed a tea lover who felt sorry for it.
"Well, my lord has a heart." Wu Zhenyu usually loves Maojian and Longjing the most.But now that winter is approaching, even the best Yuqian Longjing is not as sweet as Maojian's Bailu tea because it is out of date.
After observing them for so long, Lin Huaiyi naturally would not understand this.But even when the two were sitting and drinking tea, Lin Huaiyi didn't say much.
After drinking a cup, the jailer was called to escort Wu Zhenyu to leave.
It's as if he really just said to him to come and visit, if it's not in this dungeon where people and ghosts detour.
He immediately got up and went upstairs, Qin Ping and the two looked at him earnestly.
Lin Huaiyi shook his head, "I don't want to say anything, it's still the confession before I bit it."
The two sat down disappointed again.
"Master Yin, please tell the Department of Internal Affairs to bring tea to General Wu from today on."
Yin Gu looked at the tip of the hair in Lin Huaiyi's hand, his face full of disbelief, "This is a reward from the emperor, is the prince going to give it to a prisoner?"
Lin Huaiyi naturally did not tell the truth to Wu Zhenyu.
Mao Jian, who was said to be ignored by no one, was actually a very popular sweet pastry in Ting Wei's mansion.Master Yin was born as a commoner, but he was familiar with poetry and books since he was a child, but he was always underappreciated. He was driven by his father with a stick to herd cattle and grow rice for many years.
Later, because of his good handwriting, he found an official position in the county government of his family.But because of his noble character, he didn't want to mingle with the filth of officialdom and was squeezed out by others, so he could only do some clerical work.Therefore, those who are still poor can't even afford to marry a wife.
If you marry a farmer, you have loose grain to eat, and if you marry a herdsman, you have cattle and sheep to eat. What do you do with this sour literati? Do you drink ink?
Later, it was revealed that the county magistrate bought an official and begged for a title. Naturally, he also made great efforts in this matter. The grasshopper tied to the same rope as the county magistrate was knocked down by one dragon. Appointed to the county magistrate to assist the later county magistrate.
Later, he was recommended and gradually raised until today as the supervisor of Tingwei Mansion.
After years of tossing and turning, fortunately, God follows people's wishes.
Unlike Qin Ping, who is as rich and powerful as a door god, he has always been used to thrift, and he was reluctant to drink more tea when he received it. He would take out a little bit of tea and drink it every morning during his shift. Say goodbye to a few tea leaves in a porcelain cup.
Whenever he saw Qin Ping grabbing a handful and rinsing his mouth with the unfinished tea, he would sigh in pain.
Lin Huaiyi laughed loudly, "Of course he won't be treated so favorably. Just ask the Secretary of Internal Affairs to go to the market to buy some years old tea with two coins and one tael for him to drink."
Yin Gu: ...
The stale tea on the street corner, even a poor man like him, couldn't drink it, and even if he really took it to rinse his mouth, he found the astringent taste unbearable.
Not to mention the pampered Wu Zhenyu.
I'm afraid I'll spray it all in one sip.
King Yucheng's heart is black and his hands are poisonous, and he does things without morality.
First give Wu Zhenyu the sweetness of what he likes, and then pour cold water all over his face in a blink of an eye.
From this day on, hot tea and herbal tea will be served at noon every day on the first floor of the dungeon, as if the imperial court suddenly discovered that the prisoners in these prison cells were also human beings, and gave them some normal treatment.
But as soon as the tea was in his mouth, Wu Zhenyu was so sour that he burst into tears and almost hit the wall.
He couldn't figure out how the people in the prison opposite the cup of unsavory tea drank it without changing their expressions. Could it be that the rich clothes and fine food for many years have made him even the lives of ordinary people? Can't make it through?
But he didn't know that his inmates drank ordinary tea from the street market, although the taste was not very good, it was better than the old tea dregs that were specially provided for him in his cup.
It's a sad day.
"I don't know if Mrs. Yucheng said that the next month's wife will come to visit, can she bring in some good tea from the mansion...at least give me some benefits and money..."
Looking at the flickering lights outside the door, Wu Zhenyu couldn't help but think of what Lin Huaiyi had said to him.
You can bring longevity noodles, some dry goods are fine too...
But the taste of the hair tip just now is really good, I don't know if I can ask the prince to buy some...
Humans have six desires, but appetite is the most difficult to bear.
It is easy to go from frugal to extravagant, but difficult to go from extravagant to frugal. For Wu Zhenyu, it is better not to drink this cup of tea.
But the jailer was lazy, and did not take away the tea brought at noon until the end of dinner, which made Wu Zhenyu dizzy and miserable all day long.
But for the next period of time, Huang Enhaodang's tea was drunk, and the prisoners in the prison who drank it were all smiling, and a lot of things were shaken out of the bamboo tube like beans.
This unplanned surprise brought Ting Wei Mansion a lot of rewards.
I am really grateful to the former Ting Wei for withholding the prisoners' rations. The food was either rotten or smelly, and he never treated them as human beings.
A little preferential treatment after tyranny is enough to make people grateful.
Lord Yin finally didn't have to count the tea leaves to brew.I am happy every day, full of energy like rejuvenated, and work more vigorously.
On Wu Zhenyu's birthday in the second month, Lin Huaiyi did not break his promise.
Mrs. Wu's wife really dressed up as a jailer who just came to report, and followed the people in and gave her master a bowl of longevity noodles.
When the gray-haired wife took off her mask, Wu Zhenyu's hard bones couldn't help but burst into tears in his muddy eyes.
"Junniang..." After a soft call, the two held hands and looked at each other, speechless.
Married for [-] years, the husband and wife have helped each other in the same boat, were recalled from the frontier to Beijing, guarded the guerrilla general's mansion with a false name, and raised their three sons together.
Although he was too doting and disregarding discipline, Wu Nazi made a big mistake and ignored the king's law to deal with the aftermath and conceal it for him.They did make mistakes and are now reaping the consequences.
But even the cruelest man in the world always has a shanty in his heart that is enough shelter from the rain.
The two had never been away from each other for such a long time.
Mrs. Wu's family only knew about the evil things they did when Wu Nazi was still there, but she didn't know that the source of the incident that almost wiped out the entire Wei Dynasty was because of her bewildered revenge.
When we met again, one of them was shackled and became a prisoner, and the other was shocked when he heard the truth.
But people always have to pay the price for what they have done.
Many of those who died at the hands of Wu Zhenyu couldn't even identify their corpses, and even their whole bodies were incomplete.
I don't even have a clue if I want to erect a monument for them. I don't know the date of birth or the date of death.
It had to be reburied in the barren hills on the outskirts of the city, and a wooden monument was simply erected.
"Anonymous" is engraved on it and ended his life hastily.
There are no real villains in this world, nor are there purely good people.
Everyone is like a fresh and ugly person on the stage, with their own different facial makeup, hysterically acting out their own life drama.
Nothing to do with others.
But he was involved in this chaotic world full of shoulders, and was swallowed up by a grinning smile.
☆、Chapter 41
"Master, let's eat the noodles first." The jailer had already received some accommodation instructions, and for the first time let Mrs. Wu's family come into the cubicle.
Wu Zhenyu was in shackles and it was inconvenient to hold chopsticks, so Mrs. Wu picked up a bowl to feed him.
The love between husband and wife for more than thirty years is really moving.
Lin Huaiyi's figure at the corner was hidden in the darkness, with long eyebrows and cold eyes, wrapped in a black robe, like a messenger of impermanence, who had stood there for an unknown amount of time.
After Wu Zhenyu finished eating the plain noodles, Mrs. Wu took out a handkerchief to wipe off the dirt on his face, tied up his messy hair in a bun, and took off his yellow and black prison uniform that had not been washed for a long time. , Changed into a new prison uniform handed over by King Yucheng when he entered Tingwei's mansion, put it on for my husband, and then applied medicine to the wound he was bitten by mosquitoes. It was only then that Wu Zhenyu barely looked refreshed.
After staying in this dark prison for so long, even the most vigorous adults will wither into a puddle of mud. Madam Wu's family can't help but feel sad when she sees her husband, who was once in fine clothes and jade robes, reduced to such a state. Couldn't hide it anymore, as the cheeks rustled down, it flowed into a winding gully.
Wu Zhenyu struggled to lift his heavy hand to wipe away his wife's tears, and his heart ached.
She married into Wu's mansion from the young lady of the aristocratic family, until she was a delicate and noble woman who didn't touch the sun and spring water, and accompanied him to eat yellow sand in the frontier fortress for several years.Later, he was recalled to Beijing, but he still couldn't live a very good life.
His wife also persuaded him when he did those dirty things for Nazi, but he insisted on going his own way, blinded by the so-called power and money, and felt that he was omnipotent, enough to deceive the world.However, the French Open is not missing, and who can really have the last laugh.
"Let's go, it's getting late, this dungeon is not the place for you." Wu Zhenyu said to his wife.
Madam Wu restrained her sadness, forced out a smile that was uglier than crying, and said to Wu Zhenyu: "Master, please take care of yourself..."
But what do you say to death row prisoners to take care of their health?
After thinking about this, the old lady couldn't even hold back the smirk on her face, she hurriedly covered her face and stepped out of the door.
After Wu Zhenyu waited for her to leave, his mental energy collapsed again, and he shrunk into one piece with his arms around his legs. The gatekeeper heard his hoarse cry for the first time.
Half of Lin Huaiyi's face was illuminated by the fire, and he looked at Wu Zhenyu in the prison cell from a distance, and unconsciously turned the jade wrench in his hand several times, waiting for the voice there to quiet down again, before he turned and went upstairs.
When he walked from the dark dungeon to the bright ground, Qin Ping fluttered to his side like a goose and asked, "My lord, what's the situation, my mother, Gang Wu!" Madame is crying, but that's a bad thing."
"If I knew this earlier, why did I have to do it at the beginning?" Yin Gu added a knife from the side.
Lin Huaiyi pushed away Qin Ping, who ate too much chicken and turned himself into a goose, and replied flatly, "I have moved, and there should be a reply soon."
Lin Huaiyi was right. Three days later, Wu Zhenyu asked the jailer to find Lin Huaiyi and the others for him.
After he sat in the interrogation room and drank a cup of serious tea, he said the incomprehensible three words "Tonghai Gang" to the three of them, and then fell silent again.
In the next few days, the experienced Yin Gu still couldn't pry his mouth away.
"The Tonghai Gang is located in Laiyang, adjacent to Qingshui Ocean. Its leaders in the past generations came from folk fishermen. It was originally formed to form a group to resist foreign groups who also took a fancy to their land. After several operations, it developed into an underground organization that secretly trades illegal salt.
In the south of the Yangtze River, fishermen have always been despised by people. Because of their fishy smell, no one wants to have too much contact with them. They live and eat on the family fishing boat.
The first gang leader of the Tonghai Gang was a rare talent. When he was young, he unified all the fishing boats on the Qingshui Ocean, forming a group that should not be underestimated.
Having mastered all the fresh food supplies in several nearby counties, the people on land who thought they were superior had no choice but to talk to them nicely in order to buy fresh food.
However, after the death of the first gang leader, the next few gang leaders who succeeded him were all vicious and vicious people with no morals at all.But he is extremely sensitive to the incense of copper coins, almost to the point where he can exchange his life for money, and he will look wherever there is interest.
But in order to get a share of the pie, the government pretended that they didn't know about it under the premise that nothing happened.When I left the Central Plains, his second gang leader took over, but I stopped paying attention to them later.
It's just that I occasionally heard that they were fishing in the open, and secretly did a lot of deeds enough to kill their heads.
If the prince needs it, Liu can go to investigate. "
In the general's mansion, Uncle Liu, who should have been buried in the ground, sat in front of Lin Huaiyi and said.
His face was dusty, his clothes hadn't been changed, his hair and beard were covered with grit that hadn't been shaken off, as if he had just rushed back from a long journey day and night.
"Don't worry, wait for Yin Gu and the others to find out something and gather the information together before making a decision. This old thief Wu Zhenyu is simply very shrewd. It would take a lot of hard work to find out who Fang Sheng is, let alone find out the relationship with him." Lin Huaiyi said.
"Old General Wu is probably afraid that he will be killed by the emperor in a blink of an eye if he tells the whole story that he will be useless.
After all, life is worse than death. "Lin Xu by the door came in and said.
When Lin Huaiyi saw that the ancestor had come out, he could not wait to jump from the chair to mid-air, and pulled the mink fur coat hanging next to him to put it on.
This sick man thought he was a Vajra Arhat and dared to go out just wearing a thin coat.
Lin Xu couldn't help but say to him, "Your Majesty, don't worry. I've taken the medicine for a few days and I've recovered from the wind and cold. It's sunny outside today, so I don't feel cold. I just want to go for a walk. I feel better now."
"You can be a good fart!" King Yucheng, who has always paid attention to quality, swears rarely.
However, being locked up in the room recently really made Lin Xu bored, so Lin Huaiyi didn't force him to go back to the room, and reached out to test the temperature on his forehead. The situation was not bad, so he moved a chair and gave him two. People sit side by side.
After half a year of suffering from illness, Lin Xu's body, which had been nourished by the supplements sent by the general's mansion, quickly lost weight, and he returned to the pitiful look of not having enough to eat when they first met in Beijing.
He knows that now he looks almost humanless, and he is also a little anxious, but it seems that God is against him. The more anxious he is, the slower he will recover, which dragged him into this state. spooky.
Even I can't stand the frail face in the bronze mirror.
"Master..." Uncle Liu watched him enter the door, already choked up and couldn't speak, "You have to take care..."
Lin Xu looked at Uncle Liu, who had spared no effort in taking care of him for a long time, and said, "Uncle Liu, don't worry, the illness will go away one day, but Uncle Liu...be careful in everything."
After he woke up yesterday, Lin Huaiyi told him where Uncle Liu was going.
Because there is no one around who has lived in both the Central Plains and the Western Regions for a long time like Uncle Liu, is proficient in the customs and languages of both sides, and is familiar with the terrain of the two places, and he is also careful and reliable enough to trust.
And he entered Beijing as a proton entourage, just like when he escorted Lin Seqing to the Western Regions, he did not have the right to walk freely.
Especially now that the Proton Mansion is under strict surveillance, he can only stay in the mansion every step of the way. If there is any unusual movement, the emperor will know it immediately.
Lin Xu is also the same, so he has been in Beijing for a long time and has never been outside the city.
But now there are too many things that Uncle Liu needs to do. As he himself said, if Lin Huaiyi needs it, he can immediately set off to Jiangnan to explore.
So only by making everyone think that the old butler next to Proton is dead, Uncle Liu can get a new life.
And Lin Huaiyi could also logically move Lin Xu to the General's Mansion.
"Master, don't worry about the old slave. The old slave's bones are still hard and he won't let go." Uncle Liu laughed.
Lin Xu smiled softly: "That would be the best."
"My lord, if there is nothing else, this old servant will leave first." Uncle Liu left the capital day and night and hardly slept a wink, and he was a bit overwhelmed at the moment.
"Okay, Uncle Liu is good to rest."
Lin Huaiyi got up and sent him to the back door.
Uncle Liu turned over the haystack, and a manhole cover was exposed on the ground.
This dry well is a secret passage leading to the back kitchen of Peony Garden in Yanliu Lane.
Meiniang, the little beggar who almost died at the wheel of Wu Nazi, is now the owner of the Peony Garden. She allocates the entire garden. It is not difficult to find a room for the new "cook" to live in.
Taking advantage of the fact that Uncle Liu rarely showed his face in front of people and his plain appearance made people forget it in an instant, they planned to "dark under the lights" and hide in the busiest place in the capital, which was convenient for inquiring news and meeting.
When Uncle Liu got up to say goodbye, Lin Xu also wanted to get up to see him off, but Lin Huaiyi slapped him firmly back on the chair and pinned him.
Lin Xu: "This prince is really...human face..."
After thinking about it, I was amused by this sentence, and it seems that it is not an exaggeration to think about it.
After Lin Huaiyi sent Uncle Liu away, he turned around and saw the faint smile on Lin Xu's face, which dispelled his sickness and made him feel light and warm under the sun's rays.
He couldn't help but relax a lot in his heart. He walked in front of Lin Xu and said, "Young Master seems to be in good spirits today, why don't we go out for a walk together."
Lin Xu raised her head in surprise and asked, "Is it okay... this won't trouble the prince, will it?"
He has been suffocating in the mansion for such a long time, and after suffocating in the proton mansion, he came to the general's mansion, feeling that life was becoming boring.
He's that kind of weirdo.
If there are enough choices, he might be afraid of noise or trouble, so he would rather stay in the mansion to read books, practice sword skills, raise a few cats and dogs, and then ponder over weapons, trying to be quiet.
But if the only option left was to not go anywhere in the mansion, the rebellious aura of dissatisfaction in his heart would start to make trouble, disturbing his restlessness, and wanting to go out and fly day and night.
Very difficult to serve.
Even when he was in the Proton Mansion, he was sober for some time, but Uncle Liu was so shocked by the man in black that he would not agree to let him go out. He made a bad move, bought a heavy lock to lock the door, and hid the key, so that Lin Xu could only look at the door and sigh, but there was nothing he could do.
Today, King Yucheng's "go out for a stroll" said that he is better than drinking hot wine.
"Well, now that the scourge in Beijing and China has been eliminated, and there are officials following, it's not a big deal." Lin Huaiyi smiled and said, "Just don't tell Uncle Liu that you slipped your tongue."
"Of course not." Lin Xu cheered happily and went back to change clothes.
Two hours later.
Lin Xu didn't expect Lin Huaiyi to come straight to the outskirts of the city after picking him up on the horse.
Although he knew that there were soldiers from the Northern Army and General Gongsun's government behind him, King Yucheng was really a little bolder.
in particular……
Lin Xu looked at the hands on his waist at this moment. They were pale and slender, with distinct knuckles, blue blood vessels looming, and the emerald ring on the index finger glowing faintly under the sunlight.
He was held in Yucheng Wanghuan's arms, and the two of them rode a horse together, passing through the street swaggeringly.
The capital is surrounded by mountains on two sides and water on the other, so it is easy to defend but difficult to attack. This is also the reason why the kings of the past dynasties chose the site.
On the side of the horizontal peak and the ridge, the dragon and the tiger lie down.
The most majestic of all the mountains should be Tianyu Mountain.
According to folk rumors, Tianyu Mountain is the place where ancient emperors ascended to immortality.
If anyone is lucky enough to make a pilgrimage here and be favored by the gods in the heavenly court, he will have a chance encounter and get a fairy bone. If he cultivates properly, he will be able to avoid the suffering of the world of mortals, and he will be in the fairy class with all the fairies and be worshiped by the world.
A recent legend is that the last Emperor Dongxun of the previous dynasty was tyrannical and promiscuous, killing innocent people indiscriminately and disrespecting the law of heaven. One day, thunderstorms broke out on Tianyu Mountain and fell from the top of the mountain, rolling all the way to the palace. Song Jiwen and the merry-seeking Yongjun in the village were killed, and the great country was overthrown.
But this is just folklore.
That Yongjun was forced to commit suicide in his bedroom by his prime minister's rebellion. He died without even being able to put on his coat.
Then the first emperor waited on the sidelines in the name of the Qing emperor and tied up the rebellious prime minister, although there was no one to clear.
Probably because there was no moonlight in the dark and rainy night, the eyes of the subordinates were a little degraded, they went the wrong way, and accidentally arrested Emperor Dongxun's princes as traitors.
When the first emperor found out that he had arrested the wrong person, those princes who had been blamed had already followed Emperor Dongxun to the underworld to report.
The father and son saw each other with tears in their eyes and wanted to kick each other to death again. Seeing that the two sides had such a deep grievance, there was not a drop of water in Meng Po's soup, and it was thick like porridge.
Remember to be careful not to let them be father and son again when reincarnated.
From then on, the first emperor ascended the throne and watched the world with disdain.
As for the thunder, Xia Lei was horrifyingly numerous, and if he struck an ancient tree that would make the three of them out of reach, it would be instantly scorched black, causing a natural disaster.Not to mention the rainstorm.
And the people always like to hear these strange things about the way of heaven and reincarnation, and find some people to spread some opinions among the people. After a long time, the descendants will think that Emperor Dongxun was really punished by heaven himself and sent to the eighteenth level of hell. , the Great Wei Emperor is the benefactor who followed the will of God to save the people from the dire straits.
Lin Huaiyi still remembered that he hid in a ball in brother Xu's arms and was taken secretly to the restaurant. The storyteller happened to talk about this unpleasant retribution, whether it was the audience or the little fox who was ignorant of the world at the time. Everyone was so engrossed in listening to it that they almost got up and applauded.
Until he heard the muffled laughter in Lin Yiqing's chest that he couldn't hold back.
His ears, which were quietly exposed, were pulled by Lin Yiqing's flirtatious hand, and the general, who didn't want others to feel better, began to tell the other side of the truth in his ears.
Just yelling in his ear, it's hard to shut him up.
The angry little fox bit Lin Yiqing's chest through the clothes, and shrank back into the clothes with a sad face.
As for the rumors of ghosts and monsters among the people, he is naturally not interested in them now, and he will not come to research them.
Only Tianyu Mountain, besides being the origin of all kinds of rumors, was also the place where the little fox took the general's clothes for the first time.
At that time, the little fox "traveled in the clouds" here and found a beautiful woman. Since then, the cold rain has warmed up, and the idler has become more ignorant.
☆、Chapter 42
"We're here," Lin Huaiyi whispered in Lin Xu's ear.
They found the wooden stakes in the cottage to tie the horses, looked up at the towering mountains, and their minds were equally chaotic.
When Lin Xu entered Beijing, he had seen Tianyu Mountain from afar, and heard the rumors about deceiving children copied by Uncle Liu. He was also not very interested in the story of repaying Godsend with false rumors, but the one that really caught his attention. It is a sense of sadness and sorrow that wells up in my heart.
That was the first time he had this strange emotion, but what he didn't expect was that this feeling would follow him like a shadow, coming out from time to time to poke his heart.
And now he is standing here, with King Yucheng who is half human and half demon beside him, as if he has understood something somewhere.
After all, there is nothing in this world that cannot be explained.
As if taking Lin Xu's body into consideration, Lin Huaiyi didn't take him to a high place, but took him to Yiwan Hot Spring halfway up the mountain.
This Suyan Huachi hidden in the dense forest is misty and misty like a fairyland.There is some sulfur smell in the salty taste, but it has a special flavor, which makes people feel refreshed.
"Little master, few people know about the hot spring here. It is the best and most effective divine spring in the world. It can cure diseases and dehumidify, and has the effect of replenishing. Therefore, exotic flowers and herbs can grow next to it. You can sell it if you pick one. Good price."
Lin Xu could see now that the prince would start talking nonsense as long as he had a ghost in his heart.But he also pretended not to know.
"It's fine to hit a snake with a stick." He meditated.
"But I didn't bring a change of clothes..." Lin Xu thought of this more important question halfway up the stick.
"Come with me." Lin Huaiyi chuckled, and led him to a slightly wider flat ground in the depths.
It looked like a few trees had been cut down to make room for a simple hut.
However, although the sparrow is small, it has all the internal organs.There are living room, front hall and even dining room inside. The designer should be well versed in the way of building a house, vowing to build the most complete house in the smallest space.
It's a masterpiece.
"How did the lord find it here?" Lin Xu was also a little surprised. The hot spring is already located in a remote place, and the small wooden house is blocked by those ancient trees in the mountains. Could it be that the lord built it?
Lin Huaiyi seemed to see what he was thinking, chuckled and said: "This was built when the foster father was still alive, and I heard that this is also the place where the foster father picked me up.
Because the adoptive father carries a gun and wears armor all year round, and the frontier affairs are heavy and stressful. He is troublesome and exhausting. He needs a place to clean his body and mind.
After discovering the hot spring here, he quietly built a separate house for himself to rest. Sometimes he came to listen to the sound of drizzle and taste the sound of falling leaves, which was his unknown hobby. "
The two talked while watching.
"General Lin is used to fighting on the battlefield, and he is actually an elegant person in private." Lin Xu praised him sincerely.
"What elegance, the young master praised it absurdly, but it's just for fun." Lin Huaiyi was very modest.
From the spotless decoration in the front hall, Lin Xu has already discovered that there should be people coming and going here often. There are tea sets on the table, a wine jar at the door exuding a mellow fragrance, and a pot of autumn chrysanthemums in the corner is in full bloom.
It looks much more popular than the General's Mansion, which is called a haunted house.
The pair hanging on the wall is also very interesting
On the left, "How could it be said that Wuyi is in the same robe as the son"
On the right, "listen to the rain and sunset by the window and rest"
Unlike the little fox who blushed with embarrassment when he first saw these words, he thought it was purely a confession. Lin Xu has read poetry and books, so he naturally knows that General Lin's heart is hard to let go.
He hoped that someone would fight side by side and beat all those who violated the Great Wei back to their hometowns, so that they would never set foot in the Central Plains and give the people peace forever.
When the world is settled down, find a ravine to hide in, and shoulder the self-sufficiency of the sunset to accompany the return journey, while the fishing boat sings late in the linen thatch.Not some princes, generals, nobles from aristocratic families.
It's just the husband of the person next to him, who has been side by side for half his life.
After death, you can bury your bones and accompany you, tie a red rope around your fingers, and reincarnate to continue your love.
"General Lin..." Lin Xu was speechless for a long time.
This frontier hero who died young was not afraid of wars, and the countries in the Western Regions who were capable of suppressing did not dare to change. According to the old people, his name is as powerful as the seven evil spirits in the frontier.
Only after seeing these words did he realize that in the eyes of this lifelong warrior, he still prefers a plain and quiet life to fame and fortune.
He is not one of those war lunatics who are obsessed with conquest and enjoy killing enemies.
But he didn't even wait for the same robe with his son.
His loyal emperor sent him to the frontier to die, not even enough people.
Otherwise, it wouldn't be the case that after he defeated the Huns, the last people he led would not even be enough to fight against the Yuezhi ambush.
A generation of famous generals fell under the gluttony of the hearts of the people.
"Young master, come to the bedroom to see if there are any suitable clothes."
Lin Huaiyi saw Lin Xu staring at the pair for a long time, his expression turned from admiration to sadness, and he thought it would be better to take him out earlier.
He is not recovering now, and it is not suitable for him to be in contact with too much of the past in a short period of time. It is like giving medicine to a patient. He has to be fed little by little, and he must not stuff it all in his mouth.
"Okay." Lin Xu replied.
Following King Yucheng in front of him, he walked to the small warm bedroom and opened the cupboard. Lin Xu's tongue seemed to be taken away by a cat, and he could no longer speak a word.
"Is this called suitable??"
I saw all kinds of clothes filled the cupboard, and after I took them out to gesture, I found that the clothes inside seemed to be tailor-made for him, not an inch longer or an inch shorter.And they were all the colors he usually wears, black, white, gray and blue, and he even saw a few clothes that were exactly the same as the ones he wore before...
This prince...how long has he been planning this matter...
Or when did you start planning...
The planning is also very careful, spring clothes, summer coats, autumn robes and winter cottons are all available, stuffing a cabinet full like a magic trick.
The prince's own clothes were only a few sparsely placed on top of his clothes.
But he should come here often, so there is no need to bring too many foreign things, just looking at this "son's exclusive" wardrobe, he even has the illusion that he has moved.
Now both of them blushed.
Lin Huaiyi was just thinking about Lin Xu's illness, thinking about how to do what the fairy old man said to him, "Find some important pasts to call him first, and don't overdo it.
Slowly wait until he is twenty and then wake him up with a spell.In this way, it is not easy to hurt the body, and it is not easy to be backlashed by pain to madness. "
So I suddenly forgot that I had nothing to do to buy clothes for Lin Xu. A few times I felt that the robes Lin Xu was wearing were very good-looking, so I bought the same robes and put them on for myself to enjoy myself.
I’m too embarrassed to really give away the things I bought, so I can only bring them here every time I come to collect herbs. Over time, I really put a full cabinet. I thought about building a new cabinet before. .
In an instant, the prince, who had always been thicker than the wall, felt that the hair on his back was about to stand on end.
He didn't even dare to turn his head to Lin Xu's side to see his expression at the moment.
The usually eloquent fox completely lost his mind at this moment, feeling like a puppet that the joints all over his body lacked lubrication and were jammed.
The two were silent for a while in this awkward silence, neither of them was embarrassed to speak first.
There seemed to be a flock of birds flying past the door, and the fluttering sound of wings came to the ears, and only then did the two come back to their senses.
Lin Huaiyi hastily pulled out two pieces of clothes blindly without even looking at them, and closed the cupboard door first to cover up, covering up a cupboard of criminal evidence.
As long as it is invisible, it can be regarded as non-existent.
"My lord..." Lin Xu was delighted when he saw Lin Huaiyi's rare thin-skinned appearance, "The two pieces you took look like they belonged to the same person."
Of course he would not be so shameless as to claim that the clothes in the closet were prepared for him by King Yucheng, it is still important to be polite.
"The prince should have brought others here many times."
Lin Xu smiled slightly, and a sly look flashed in his eyes the moment he lowered his head, "It's no wonder that the interior of the house is so well-furnished. This is indeed a treasure hidden in the forest, a rare treasure in the world that is hard to find."
Lin Huaiyi suddenly felt a chill down his spine.
Ever since his memory began to come back intermittently, this person seemed to be becoming more and more dishonest.
If I wait until the day when I fully recover, why don't I start being bullied by him again?
This is not acceptable, his ten years of age are not in vain.
You must know that Lin Huaiyi's ruthlessness is not just for the outside world, whenever the fox feels in danger
