So fast!
Xia Jingyun was a little dazed, then nodded and said: "Of course I want to see my sister off. Master, are you going?"
Concubine De shook her head, "Father doesn't want to go. I just show up in Zhoucheng and leave after one night. It will be tiring for him to follow me."
Xia Jingyun thought for a while, "I went to Zhoucheng, and I may have to stay in Zhoucheng for a while. After all, autumn is coming, so I still need to make some preparations. Mr. Su will also go back, and the master will be alone again."
Concubine De sighed, "I asked him to follow me to the capital, but he always refused. He said that he was alone here, but after entering the capital, I also lived deep in the palace wall, and he was still alone, so I had no choice."
Xia Jingyun thought for a moment and said, "Sister, I have an idea. I will go back and persuade my parents to move to Jiang'an to live with Master. Now I am going to Zhoucheng, and my cousin will follow Wudang. When the army goes north, they can take care of each other. And my cousin is in her twenties, so having a junior in the family can liven things up a bit."
If it were the past era of Xia Jingyun, perhaps Concubine De would inevitably think about whether you want to occupy the magpie's nest, Li Daitao, etc.
But right now, few people are willing to leave their hometown, let alone their entire family.
Coupled with the performance of brothers Xia Jingyun and Xia Yunfei these days, Concubine De will not think too much about that aspect.
So Concubine De said: "Isn't it too forced?"
Xia Jingyun smiled and said, "I am preparing for the future. If everything goes according to our plan, I will also settle in Zhongjing City in the future. Let them take a small step now, and let them take a big step in the future. It’s easy.”
After hearing this, Concubine De couldn't help laughing, "You are really good at comforting people."
Talking to smart people saves your worries.
"Then I will write a letter and talk to my parents first so that they can be mentally prepared. I will personally persuade them to move to Jiang'an some time later."
Concubine De smiled and nodded, stood up, held his hand, and said softly: "Thank you for your hard work."
Xia Jingyun: ()
"Sister, don't worry, I will continue to work hard and strive to be your most trustworthy and solid support in the future."
Concubine De covered her mouth and smiled softly, "It's already very good now! My sister is very satisfied."
"The future is still there!"
"Okay, sister, let's wait and see!"
After coming out of Yun Mansion, he arrived at the Wudang Army barracks. Jiang Yuhu was presiding over military drills. When he saw him coming, he frowned, "Why are you smiling like a fool?"
"Really?" Xia Jingyun, who was dazed, touched his face and tried his best to return to normal. He looked at the scene below and said skillfully, "I thought that the general was just an outstanding war talent, but I never thought that running an army could be so harsh. , when a person is better than others, but has to work harder than others, it is impossible not to succeed! The grassroots are convinced!"
Jiang Yuhu's face looked much better to the naked eye, and he still looked straight ahead with his poker face, "I asked you to come here for two things. The first thing is, I have arrested Song Renxia, but I will deal with the people in our army on my own. I won't Leave it to the court, and you can go talk to Concubine De."
"The general has a kind heart and cares about the friendship between the soldiers. It's no wonder that the Wudang Army can become the strongest army in the world! Your Majesty will definitely understand, so don't worry, General."
Jiang Yuhu couldn't help turning his head and glanced at him, as if he couldn't figure out how such an astonishingly talented young man could develop such skills as an old traitor in the court, but the "foolish emperor's happiness" in his heart was indeed real. "The second thing is, Jin Jiancheng went to get some quails and came back. Seeing how weak you are, I'll give you some supplements."
Xia Jingyun blurted out, "Can quail be used as a remedy?"
Jiang Yuhu said calmly: "The shape complements the shape, haven't you heard of it?"
Then this little bird can't make up for me, I am a big eagle.
Xia Jingyun smiled and said: "General, I have to refute this. The theory that form complements form is somewhat fallacious. According to this statement, if I want to eat people, wouldn't that mean I become the master of others?"
Just like a person who doesn't know how to refuse, his affirmation is meaningless. A person who blindly flatters, his praise will become cheap over time, and he has to pick out such inconsequential trivial matters to refute and argue twice, in order to appear The flattery was so sincere.
As a qualified and excellent project manager, Xia Jingyun is already familiar with these things.
But his retort did not cause any disturbance when it fell in Jiang Yuhu's ears.
Jiang Yuhu just turned to look at him calmly, "How do you think they became masters?"
Duang!
Xia Jingyun felt like he had been hit on the head, his head was buzzing.
In the big tent, two people ate quail in silence.
"Why are you so weak?"
"Ahem, I don't exercise enough on weekdays."
"Did you exercise too much?"
"General, let's talk about business."
"Not interested." Jiang Yuhu finished the last sip of soup, "Ask your cousin to help you pack the quails and go back early."
After saying that, he turned around and went behind the big tent, leaving Xia Jingyun alone facing the bird, in a mess.
Back in the small courtyard, Yanzhi looked at the string of quails and tried hard to suppress a smile.
Xia Jingyun said with a dark face, "Just laugh if you want."
Yanzhi chuckled lightly and rubbed his shoulders, "Young master is so powerful that you don't need these things."
Xia Jingyun nodded with satisfaction without any shame, "You are indeed the most qualified to say this."
Men can admit that they are poor or ugly, but they will never admit that they are not good in that aspect.
There are many common sayings to support it: You don’t speak small words, you talk big words, you have long-term peace and stability, etc.
It's a pity that the words are good, but the actions are the real results.
Just like tonight, this man who was so exhausted that he slept soundly could not even be considered as a close friend. While Yanzhi snuggled happily next to him, he couldn't help but think that he would hurry up and stew the quail tomorrow. Drink it on the go.
Parting is often like this. Even if the date is set in advance, when the moment really comes, the emotions will really flow out.
Because it’s not the time that hurts, but the situation.
Concubine De and Mr. Yun stood outside the pavilion outside the city, holding hands and looking at each other with tears in their eyes.
Mr. Yun looked at his daughter, not knowing what this farewell would be like, what it would be like to see her again, and whether there would even be a chance to see her again. He couldn't help but burst into tears.
Concubine De also looked at her father's aging face, and her heart was full of sorrow.
Standing in front of him, she seemed to still be the carefree girl; but after this farewell, she would be alone against the cold wind that day and night.
But in the end, they just hugged each other gently and said goodbye to each other.
The farewell was too forceful, as if this side was really regarded as the last.
Even if it is true, they don't want to believe it and want to leave it as a thought for the rest of their lives.
Watching the carriage curtain lowered and the coachman taking his seat, Mr. Yun took a deep breath and shouted.
"Congratulations to Concubine De!"
With one word, Concubine De's defenses were instantly broken, and she burst into tears as she sat in the carriage.
Xia Jingyun walked silently to Mr. Yun, "Master, I wrote a letter to my parents. When the time comes, they will move to Jiang'an and spend more time with you. I will also come back to see you often."
"Gao Yang! Don't worry about these things. My health is fine! Just do your thing well. Autumn is only ten days away, and I'm looking forward to congratulating you on your high school graduation!"
"Don't worry, Master, I won't let you down."
"Okay, let's go, don't fall too far behind, I'm fine, just treat it like a lively dream, live your life as you should!"
When Xia Jingyun heard this, he felt inexplicably sad. He remembered some scenes he had seen before, sniffed, and hugged the old man, "Master, take care."
Mr. Yun was suddenly hugged like this. His body stiffened, and then he slowly relaxed. He patted Xia Jingyun's back gently and said, "Take care of yourself too."
Xia Jingyun jumped onto the carriage and waved to Mr. Yun. The driver cracked his whip and said, "Drive!"
After walking a while, he gently opened the side curtain, and sure enough he saw Mr. Yun standing at the door like a stone pillar, watching them go away.
Xia Jingyun withdrew his gaze and gently wiped the moist corners of his eyes. Xie Yanzhi held his hand gently and silently, just like her always gentle and silent companionship.
"Rouge, shall I teach you a song?"
"Um."
Xia Jingyun began to hum softly. Xie Yanzhi imitated it once, then opened her red lips and started singing.
A melodious voice came from the carriage and echoed on the ancient road in the mountains.
"Outside the pavilion, beside the ancient road, the grass is green and the sky is green."
——
Along the way, Xia Jingyun, who was accompanying the team, would also go to say hello and chat with Concubine De when they stopped.
Then she sang "Farewell" to make Concubine De cry again.
Then he went to Jiang Yuhu's place and flattered him a lot, making Jiang Yuhu indulge in the happiness of the faint king and unable to extricate himself.
As the team moved forward and messengers arrived one after another, he gradually understood some of the aftermath of the rebellion.
Almost all the officials in Jianning County were wiped out, including Jiang'an County Magistrate Zhao Hongfei, and Wanfu County Magistrate Qian Debao, who still fantasized about turning the situation around after the Zheng family and his son succeeded.
Xia Yunfei went to Wanfu County in person to uproot the evil forces of Qian Debao and Lu Erhu. He also sent a letter from Xia Jingyun to his family, which also reunited him with his family who was about to go north with the army.
In Jiang'an City, the busyness of Yicui Tower gradually subsided. In the shock of the Zheng family's rebellion, Ning Bing did not wait for Concubine De to leave, and hurried back to Zhongjing with a group of people from Beijing. When she returns home, how will she evaluate this trip to Jiang'an?
The wheels are like time, running slowly and leaving traces, but it is difficult to turn back.
It goes around in circles, passing through ups and downs and distances, and slowly approaches the destination it wants to reach.
——
Sishui Prefecture City, the prison in the city.
Outside the prison, there was a group of guards standing with guns, and behind them, there was a group of people wearing fancy clothes and holding knives.
The completely different styles and temperaments of the two teams make it easy to tell that they are a powerful military force and the state government officials.
The reason for the tight security was that a group of rebels who were trying to rebel this time were imprisoned in the prison behind them.
In the deepest part of the prison, there is a tightly guarded cell.
In the cell, the man with shackles on his hands and shackles on his feet was the second son of Zhouzhong who tried to support the rebels in the city and sacrificed the city to put De Fei in a place of no return. The handle, long history Lu Fengyuan.
Now that he has been defeated and is behind bars, there is no trace of panic or depression on his face, and his back is straight as he sits against the wall.
A burst of footsteps sounded from the cell door, and slowly came to the cell door where Lu Fengyuan was.
"Lord Lu?"
The cell leader was holding a big food box in his hand, with his waist hunched over and a flattering look on his face.
Lu Fengyuan turned to look at him and said calmly: "Come in."
"Hey!" After receiving permission, the cell leader dared to open the cell door, set up a small table, and put out the contents of the food box.
There is meat, vegetables, and even wine.
Not only that, the cell leader was a little uneasy, and said apologetically: "The city has been under strict control over the past two days, so I couldn't buy your beloved Liuxiangju. Please don't blame me."
Lu Fengyuan looked indifferent, "No problem. Pour a glass of wine first."
"Hey!" The cell leader quickly poured a glass of wine, put it to Lu Fengyuan's mouth with both hands, and fed it.
Then he took a few more bites of vegetables and fed them into Lu Fengyuan's mouth.
Seeing this tacit understanding, this is not the first time.
The cell leader said carefully: "Sir, according to the plan, Concubine De will be arriving tomorrow."
"What? Are you scared?"
"No, no, the little girl has an adult as her backer, how can she be afraid of her!"
"Just don't be afraid!" Lu Fengyuan smiled scornfully, "I haven't taken any action yet. He is not a soldier and has not been able to find any correspondence from my house. What can he do to me?"
He snorted, "When the time comes, my cousin, Yun Qingzhu, will use the power of heaven to harm Zhongliang, and then accuse her of planting cronies and cultivating power in Sishui Prefecture with evil intentions. What danger can I face?"
"Your Excellency is wise!" The prison boss looked excited and immediately gave him another glass of wine. "It's just a pity that Your Excellency has established a strong foundation in Sishui Prefecture for so many years."
Lu Fengyuan shook his head, "You are wrong. The foundation of me is in the palace, in the unity of honor and nobility. The honor and nobility will not fail. The empress will not fail. The empress will not fail. I will not fail. I will not fail. This Sishui Prefecture How can the foundation fall?"
He chuckled and said, "This is the general trend. Even if I say it so openly, I am not afraid of being listened to."
The cell leader was suddenly enlightened and said with emotion: "Young man can serve the adults. It is a great honor for you."
Lu Fengyuan leaned against the wall, "When I leave, you will follow me to Beijing. When I get to Zhongjing, after I am freed from the crime, you will have a great fortune."
"Thank you, sir!"
Lu Fengyuan hummed, and immediately looked at a dish. The prison boss quickly picked up a pair of chopsticks and sent it over.
In the rancid cell, the aroma of food and wine lingered.
Two updates of 7,000 words, and the basic update has been completed. besides.
