fluttering night wind

The Xie family's vengeance was avenged, and Xie Lang ordered his servants to bring Wu Yong and the two pieces of evidence back to the city and deliver them to the government.

The Xie family is a respectable family, although today's situation is dangerous, they don't want the funeral to be hastily ended, which is disrespectful to the world.So the mourners came up to worship one by one, and the mourner was still on the sidelines to thank each one. Both Chinese and foreign people came to mourn and admire.

Bai and Xiao were mixed in the crowd, and when it was their turn to offer incense, the mourner, Xie Lianbi, couldn't hold on anymore and was helped to rest in the pavilion, Xie Lang returned the gift on his behalf.He was old and dim-sighted, and he only thought that he was a commoner outside the city who admired the Duke of England, so he thanked him with a simple salute.

On the way down the mountain, the two of them met countless people who had returned from mourning, and they talked one after another, and only a few words came to their ears, and they repeated the same two sentences: The thief and the minister will not be rescued, the hero will perish, the jackal is in the way, and the fox is safe.

Xiao Rongyue laughed at him and said: "Miss Xie, a sacrificial oration is worth a thousand troops."

Bai Yansheng glanced at her, then turned to walk towards the dense forest nearby, Xiao Rongyue saw that he deviated from the main road, knew that he must have something to ask, so she also chased after him without saying a word.

Bai Yansheng stood still under the tree, with a calm face, he said softly: "The person you met outside Xuzhou City is that Wu Yong just now."

Xiao Rongyue thought that she couldn't hide it from him after all, so she nodded and said, "That's right. He took Han Xianzong's letter and surrendered to my father and brother, but was scolded by him. My brother said that if you can help me with something, I will do it right here." I recommend you in front of the Supreme. This person is very cunning, and he never said what it was, so I didn't know it at the time."

Bai Yansheng suppressed his anger, and said in a low voice: "What kind of enmity does he have with Miss Xie, and he wants to write this poem to persecute her? It is wrong for him to use these ghostly tricks to kill people indiscriminately, let alone to deal with such a Unarmed, weak woman without father or mother."

Xiao Yu wanted to kill Xie Lianbi, of course it was for Xiao Rongyue's sake, but she couldn't tell, she felt guilty, she lowered her head and said timidly: "My brother may just test whether Han Xianzong is sincere and loyal. There is no poem that can kill people The truth. Besides, I told you that Miss Xie is safe and sound now."

However, Bai Yansheng remembered that the people on the top of the mountain were violent and terrified, if Meng Ziying hadn't arrived, today would not be a good day, with the support of the gangsters, it is hard to say whether Xie Lianbi would die here.

After thinking about it again, I feel that Xiao Yu's move is really a series of tricks. If Meng Ziyou greedily accepts Yongjing City and Han Xianzong, the world will attribute the crime of killing Xie Kun and Xie Lianbi to Xishu, and Mencius will say goodbye What a great cause to talk about, I'm afraid I will lose everyone's hearts.Xiao Yu didn't move one soldier and one soldier, except for one strong enemy, he earned half of the country, which is really a good deal.

However, Ziying also handled it very well.Withdrew from Yongjing and mourned alone, which is the legacy of Zhuge Wuhou.He even offered the head of Han Xianzong to expose Beiyan's tricks in public, formed a bond with Xie's family, and won praise from the Jiangnan gentry who valued manners.

He sighed, remembering that these two men were with him back then, in the army, if they disagreed with each other, they would go to great lengths and go to war, so that everyone in the army was keen to gamble on the outcome of the two.To this day, each of them holds the power in their hands, but they still act willfully and recklessly, treating human life as nothing.

"Why are you sighing, come to me if you are dissatisfied!"

Bai Yansheng raised his head to look at Xiao Rongyue, the little girl puffed her cheeks with an indignant expression on her face.Feeling apologetic suddenly in his heart, how could he blame her, didn't she come to inform him as soon as she received the news, all the way south, she even gave up her beloved horse.

So he eased his expression, touched the top of her head, and said, "I don't blame you, I still want to thank you."

Xiao Rongyue immediately beamed with joy, raised her head and said, "Really? Don't blame my brother either."

Bai Yansheng hesitated for a moment, put aside the topic, and said flatly: "Thanks to him, I have just seen the people's hearts in this world clearly today."

These people have no grievances or enmity with Miss Xie, and some even benefited from the Xie family. Once the villain comes out to provoke, they will blindly believe and follow them, and use public opinion to force them, which is really unfair.

Probably everyone was thinking in their hearts that although Xie Kun defended the city desperately, it was his duty to defend the city from the position of the crown prince to the grand tutor, and in the end the city collapsed, so many people died, so why should the daughter of his family die? what?

He will never say such stupid things as "Xia is an old country, but its life is new".There is no redemption in this troubled world.If you want an era where women are no longer lifeless, you have to create it yourself.

Xiao Rongyue didn't know that there were so many thoughts in his mind, she just thought that he didn't blame her brother anymore, she was elated for a while, and asked, "Would you go and see Miss Xie? There are so many people in the daytime, why don't we turn around at night?" to the wall."

====Unfinished

When it was just getting dark, the two entered Yongjing City.

When Bai Yansheng came to Yongjing during the Chongnian period, he remembered the grand occasion under the night sky, with the painting of boats and drums, day and night.Five steps to the first floor, ten steps to a pavilion, the green curtains for wine sellers are soaring, the stoves for tea sellers are full of red coals, and the lamps are hung high in the bright corners upstairs.

Today's Yongjing City is already a dead city.Except for the lanterns that watch the night, it is difficult to see any lights.Not to mention the stench for miles and the ditches filled with rotten juice.

While walking, Xiao Rongyue tripped over something and fell to the ground. When she touched it with her hand, it was a dead body.She got up by herself cursing, only to hear Bai Yan's voice whisper "I'm offended", and then she was wrapped around her waist and brought to the eaves.

There was a blood-red moon above her head, and the sound of white geese dragged her on the roof of the ruins of the capital. This scene was strange and novel, something she had never experienced in her life, and her heart was pounding.

Not long after walking, Bai Yansheng brought her to a rich mansion. She saw a vermilion lacquered gatehouse with owls kissing it, a large garden in the front yard, and verdant trees, but there was no candlelight.

"Do you know where Miss Xie's boudoir is?" Xiao Rongyue asked quietly.

Bai Yansheng was worried, he only came to Xie Mansion once or twice, and now he has forgotten about it.How can I know the boudoir of the rich lady.When he was hesitating, his eyes suddenly lit up, and there was someone walking under the eaves of the corridor with a lantern not far away.The two quietly followed.

"Have all the guests been sent away safely today?"

Both of them were overjoyed.Nowhere to be found after stepping through the iron shoes, it turned out to be Xie Lang's voice.

A domestic servant led the way with a lantern in front, and Xie Lang leaned on a cane in the verandah, chattering away, asking about trivial matters as he walked.After walking through several zigzag corridors, we arrived in front of a courtyard with a big lock.The servant turned on the lantern, took out a key from a bunch of keys around his belt, and opened the big brass lock.

Xie Lang walked to the courtyard, put his cane on the ground, coughed and said, "Is my niece asleep?"

Bai and Xiao quickly followed and hid behind the branches and leaves of a big mulberry tree in the courtyard.

The fire flickered in the wing room, the candles were lit, and a familiar voice replied: "I just slept for a while, what's the matter, Uncle?"

Xie Lang asked her how she felt after she came back, and Xie Lianbi responded politely.Hearing the voice, he still looked weak.

Xie Lang paused for a while, and then said: "That Wu Yong, he was kidnapped and sent to Jingzhao Mansion for questioning in the afternoon. This man has already confessed how he conspired with Han Xianzong to murder the Duke of England, and how he abandoned the city and fled."

Xie Lianbi responded lightly, but he didn't seem very happy.

Xie Lang still said angrily: "This person is really despicable!"

"Uncle, there is no crime of punishing the heart in this world."

The candlelight was flickering, and the slim figure of a woman gradually appeared. It seemed that Xie Lianbi walked to the window holding the lamp.She thought of the aura of wanting to swallow her alive under Wu Yong's instigation on the top of the mountain today, and she was still ashamed and angry, "The law does not punish the heart, and what he said was not wrong. This time the city was broken, several families Is it intact? How many rooms are available? Others can die, but I can’t die?

Uncle, can't you see that these poor people hate us aristocratic families who enjoy wealth and honor on weekdays and flee when they are in danger, so they want us to bury their relatives with them.That day when my father went to the gate of the city to oversee the battle, he told me before he left that I don't have to be the one to make a success, and the broken pieces of jade are not the only ones to live.A powerful family has the strength of character of a powerful family, how can I offend the world for me alone. "

Success doesn't have to depend on me, jade broken righteousness is not alone.

It has to be said that the nobleness of the powerful lies in this.

The branches rustled in the night wind, Xiao Rongyue felt the people around him tremble uncontrollably, afraid of being noticed, she quickly stretched out her hand to hold his hand firmly, and Bai Yansheng gradually calmed down.

Xie Lang sighed outside the house and said: "It's great that you can think that way." He paused, and then said: "The situation in Yongjing City is not peaceful. Jing Zhaoyin said that there is a possibility of a plague outbreak. After discussing with the clan elders, they want to move the clan to Kuaiji for shelter. The Wang family and the Cui family also have the same idea. You should pack your bags for a few days."

The candles in the room flickered again.Xie Lianbi knew that the plague was just an excuse, and under the current situation, the people in the city were in dire straits, the crowds were raging, and there was no one to appease them, but the possibility of mob riots was a little higher.

So she sneered and said, "Is this going to pack up and leave? Who lives in Wuyi Lane? Looking back, it makes people remember Xie's home."

Xie Lang was a little embarrassed, coughing to cover up.

Just now I was talking about the noble character of the nobles, but in a blink of an eye, the wind and clouds dispersed and went their separate ways.Xie Lianbi was disheartened and said coldly: "Uncle, there must be some gatekeepers in the house. I will watch the funeral for my father in the Swallow Hall, so I won't go with me."

Xie Lang opened his mouth to persuade, but stopped.He knew that this niece was very assertive and said nothing, so he could only make up his mind at the moment and leave some servants to guard the house.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Xie Lang walked out of the yard, and the servants at home locked the big copper lock at the gate of the yard again.

Xie Lang stopped outside the courtyard and looked up at the sky, and sighed softly: "My brother Shengde unfortunately passed away early. How can this girl be reduced to nothing!" Three years and three years, how many six years are there in life?The good years are accompanied by the blue lanterns and ancient Buddhas.

Xie Lianbi couldn't hear this sigh, but it reached the ears of the two people hiding in the tree.

Xiao Rongyue saw that the lanterns of Xie Lang and the servants could not be seen, and also saw that the candles in Xie Lianbi's room were not extinguished, so she pushed Bai Yansheng with a slap: "Why are you still hiding, speak quickly!"

Bai Yansheng was unexpectedly slapped down from the tree by her palm, and kicked a stone when it landed, alarming Xie Lianbi who was about to turn off the fire in the room: "Who?!"

It was the first time Bai Yansheng went over the wall to meet a woman, and he was at a loss for what to do.Xiao Rongyue worried for him on the tree.

Afraid that they were thieves who came here to rob houses while the war was in turmoil, Xie Lianbi's voice suddenly became sharp: "If you don't speak anymore, I'm going to call someone."

"Wait a minute, Miss Xie..." Bai Yan fell down in a panic.

With his high martial arts, he couldn't walk well.Xiao Rongyue beat the tree silently in mid-air.

The voice seemed familiar, and it was even more haunting. Xie Lianbi was taken aback for a moment, and suddenly remembered what Shen Junli of Xichuan said in her ear during the day, and immediately said in disbelief: "Yes, is it General Bai?"

Bai Yansheng settled his mind: "It's me, Miss Xie. I heard that Mr. Xie died, so I came here to pay homage."

"So you're really not dead!" There was a whimper, and the door slammed loudly, Xie Lianbi rushed towards the door of the wing room, the room was suddenly darkened by a flash of fire.It should be that she dropped the candle in excitement.

Bai Yansheng also wanted to enter the house to see her, but after taking two steps, he suddenly stopped.

Both of them had their heartstrings twitched, one was a modest gentleman, the other was a respectful lady, both realized that it was more against etiquette in the middle of the night, their hearts were on fire, and their hearts were surging, but no one dared to take another step rashly.

Bai Yansheng said softly under the steps: "Miss Xie, Yansheng has blamed you and caused you to suffer. Because I have something to say to you tonight, I took the liberty to come here. Please forgive me for being so rude. After I finish these few sentences Leave the words immediately, so as not to damage your reputation."

There was suppressed sobbing in the room, Xie Lianbi wept with joy, and it took a while before he replied: "Speak, I'll listen."

Bai Yansheng first briefly explained why he hadn't heard from him in the past three years, and then expressed his condolences for Xie Gong's death, and finally said: "Miss didn't know the truth back then, but she still kept the festival for me. I am very moved. Since I survived today , How can I let Miss down again. After three years have passed, I will tell my elders that I will live and die together, and I will live up to it for the rest of my life."

Live and die together, live up to life.These eight characters are resounding.

Xiao Rongyue was originally watching a good show on the tree with great interest, but when she heard this, she suddenly froze.

These eight words were passed into Xie Lianbi's ears, which also made her feel that it would be worthwhile to die in Xinting today.

After Bai Yansheng said these few words, he wanted to leave, but suddenly he heard Xie Lianbi laugh softly in the darkness.

"Thank God, Dad really didn't miss him that day."

Xiao Rongyue cursed, thanking heaven and earth, it is better to thank me, Grandma Xiao.

"However, General Bai, please forgive my daughter for not being able to continue her relationship."

It was a bolt from the blue.Bai Yansheng turned pale with shock, and stammered: "Does Miss Xie have another love?"

Xiao Rongyue's spirits were lifted when she heard the words, and she stretched her ears.

Xie Lianbi burst into tears like rain, suppressed his emotions, pretended to be calm and said: "No. My heart is only for the general, and this life will never change."

Bai Yan's face turned red, he breathed a sigh of relief, frowned again, and stammered, "Why is that?"

"Three years later, Lian Bi is already twenty-five years old. He is not a good match for a general. He has fought for ten years and has reached his thirties. He has no parents, no wives and children. The man It’s different from women, you don’t need to stick to one thing, you should put the continuation of the heirs first, why wait these three years for nothing.” In fact, what she wanted to say in her heart was that my father had passed away, and my status in the clan was embarrassing, so I couldn’t To help you, you are a person who wants to do great things, why should I still pester you.

It turned out that it was because of this that Bai Yansheng let go of a big stone in his heart, and said quickly: "When you marry a wife, you should look for a virtuous person. Appearance is not important. Miss Xie is noble and pure, compassionate and compassionate, and I respect her in my heart. It is not only women who are always the same. If Miss Xie never gets married, Bai will never marry a wife, and Miss Xie will die, and Bai will not be alone. This is all I have said, and it is more serious, Miss, please rest earlier."

"You", Xie Lianbi called out anxiously, and quickly pushed open the door. The night in the courtyard was as cold as water, and there was no one left.I only heard a burst of small footsteps on the roof, and someone stepped on the tiles and gradually drifted away.Unknowingly, I was bitter and secretly happy, how could there be such a domineering person?

It was the first time in my life that I said such things to a woman.Bai Yansheng blushed and walked in front with his head covered for a while, suddenly felt something was wrong.

Lost Xiao Rongyue, his little follower.

Turning around to look for it, unexpectedly she followed behind silently, also in a daze, unexpectedly bumped into each other, and the two of them almost fell off the roof beam.

Bai Yansheng stretched out his arms to block her, Xiao Rongyue supported his strong arms, his eyes were shining, the two were too close, Bai Yansheng could see a pair of blood-colored moons imprinted in the pupils of her eyes.

His heart was shaken, and he was shocked again, why did he repeat it again and again today, so he couldn't control it.So he forced himself to restrain his mind, and laughed at himself: "It's fine if I panic, why are you an idiot?"

Xiao Rongyue suddenly said: "I'm guessing Miss Xie's mood at this moment."

"Nonsense, can you guess that too?"

"I don't regret that Zhongzi surpassed my wall."

Looking up at him, she suddenly felt a little sad.

She fell in love with him hopelessly when he confessed his love to others.

The author has something to say: Well, I finally got rid of the two wives, Dabai.

He has only been in awe of Xie Lianbi all his life, but his feelings for Xiao Rongyue are more complicated.There is not only the brother's love for his sister, but also the friendship of a confidant.

But, but, his favorite person is Xiaojiu~~~~

Don't scold me, because this era is not set in the kind where only men and women can have buns.So, for the sake of carrying on the family line, accept it.The emperor wants to have a queen.

Of course, the main line is friendship.
