Kyoto is built in four directions, with the Imperial City in the center and four gates on the four sides corresponding to the four directions. The east of Qinglong Town is called Qinglong Gate, the west of Baihu Town is called Baihu Gate, the north of Xuanwu Town is called Xuanwu Gate, and the south of Zhuque Town is called Suzaku. Door. The first big house you saw after entering Qinglongmen and walking west was Marshal Yue's Mansion. At this time, at the side door on the right side of Marshal's Mansion, a boy of four or five years old was sitting on the threshold, holding a rattle in one hand and a rattle in the other. Holding a small windmill, wearing a tiger-head hat on his head, he shakes the rattle twice for a while, and looks into the distance... his eyes are clear but full of expectation.
After a while, a sedan was carried over and stopped at the door. As soon as the sedan door was lowered, a girl about the same age as a little boy jumped out of the sedan. She shouted excitedly: "Brother Yi, I'm here to see you!" "
Just as he was about to start running, a lady came out of the sedan door and shouted: "Ling'er, slow down, you don't look like a girl at all!"
The girl immediately stopped and saluted the woman quickly, "I know! Mom, I'm going to play with Brother Yi!" Seeing the woman nodding, the girl jumped towards the boy.
When the boy saw the woman approaching, he quickly put down his toys and bowed to the woman's hands, "I've met my aunt!"
The woman stretched out her right hand to show her displeasure and said, "Okay, Xiaoyue, I'm going to find your mother. You can play with Ling'er for a while."
"Okay, aunt." After saying that, he took the little girl and walked towards the inner courtyard.
Seeing such a scene, the maid next to the woman complained: "Besides you, the young lady really only listens to Master Yue." The woman smiled slightly, shook her head, and walked towards the inner courtyard.
Not long after everyone entered the inner courtyard, two men came to the door of the Marshal's Mansion. They were unkempt and ragged, but the aura they exuded made it difficult for anyone to think that they were beggars. When he got closer, he took a closer look and saw that it was Yan Yan and Huang Li.
Seeing the handsome man's house, the two of them breathed a long sigh of relief. They turned to the left and knocked on the ring a few times. The door opened, and then an energetic old man came out. The old man was surprised. He quickly returned to normal and whispered: "Ayan, Ali, why are you back!"
Yan Yan said softly: "It's hard to say anything. Let's go in and talk."
After that, the group of people walked around and walked through several dark rooms and came to a stone room lit by candlelight.
"Lao Yue, is Madam here?"
The old man replied: "Madam is with Mrs. Zeng."
"After Mrs. Zeng leaves, call her over and let's talk about it together. This matter is important!"
The old man bowed and saluted, "Two generals have worked hard. Hot water and clean clothes have been prepared in the back room. After bathing, meals will be delivered. General, please bathe and change clothes first."
"Thank you, Mr. Yue!" The two of them bowed in return. The old man bowed again and exited.
At this time, a strong man in the golden hall of the palace was reading the memorial in front of the case. Since he came to the throne, he has always placed Mianqi next to him. This is none other than Emperor Zhao Zhen. Suddenly a figure appeared in the shadow of the corner and said in a high-pitched voice. : "Your Majesty, Yan Yan and Huang Li have returned to the commander's residence."
The man did not raise his head and continued to correct the memorial. After a while, he stopped writing and waved his hand, and the figure in the shadow disappeared.
After the figure disappeared, he smiled contemptuously and said to himself: "It seems that I am going to see my sister." After saying this, the temperature in the hall seemed to have become a little colder.
In the stone room, Yan Yan and Huang Li had washed up and put on clean clothes. The door of the stone room was pushed open, and a beautiful woman with bright eyes, white teeth, and skin as smooth as grease came in. She was the one who was lying on the willow leaves. , The top of the head is as dark as haze. Plain silk does not cover the air of the world. After this flower blooms, hundreds of flowers will die.
The two of them bowed and saluted: "Sister-in-law, Wan'an!" "Don't be too polite. If you have any news about Brother Qing, just tell me directly." Huang Li could no longer bear the pain and burst into tears. He quickly pulled Yan Yan a few times, and Yan Yan said He was also extremely sad and hesitantly said, "Marshal... died in the battle, and several other brothers and hundreds of thousands of brothers have died for their country..."
After hearing this, the woman's brain suddenly went numb and she passed out. Yan Yan quickly put away his emotions and said, "Hurry and put Madam down!" After saying that, he took out a box from behind, took out a few silver needles, and calmed down his emotions. After giving the woman a few injections, she slowly woke up.
At this time, Old Man Yue rushed over in a hurry, saluted the woman and said, "Madam, I'm here to report that Your Majesty will visit the Marshal's Mansion in an hour."
The woman took a few breaths and said softly: "Mr. Yan, remove the needle! I guessed it when Brother Qing's soul pendant cracked before! I'm fine."
Yan Yan replied: "Yes!"
An hour later, Long Chu marched toward the Marshal's Mansion in a mighty manner. In front of the Marshal's Mansion, Marshal's wife Zhao Ying and the Marshal's only son Yue Yi were already waiting at the door to greet them. After a while, Long Chu stopped on the bluestone road in front of the marshal's door. Everyone hurriedly knelt down and shouted: Long live our emperor!
With a smile on his face, the emperor walked all the way, and when he reached Zhao Ying, he quickly helped her up and said: "Hurry up, you are my sister, why do you still give me such a big gift?"
After saying that, he looked at the decent-looking Xiao Yue Yi who was kneeling next to him and said with a smile: "Xiao Yue, please get up too. It's really hard for you." After saying this, he burst out laughing.
Xiao Yueyi stood up slowly and said arrogantly: "Uncle Emperor, I have been studying for a long time. How many days have it been?" After speaking, he raised his eyebrows arrogantly.
Emperor Zhao Zhen couldn't help but laughed when he saw him like this. Everyone was also amused by Xiao Yue Yi and laughed softly, and the scene suddenly became happy and peaceful.
"Okay, okay, don't be too busy having fun, let's go in first." Emperor Zhao Zhen smiled for a while and said, and everyone gathered around the middle door and entered the palace. Seeing Zhao Ying's face turned pale, the emperor said, "A Ying, don't worry anymore. Who is Marshal Yue? He is the strongest peak combat power in the mainland. He also holds an ancient weapon to kill dragons and destroy a few demon clans." Isn’t it easy to catch it?”
"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. My sister is fine. She just missed Brother Qing a few days ago and suffered a little bit of wind and cold. The doctors in the mansion just looked at her and she is fine."
"As long as it's okay, I'll ask the imperial doctor to come over tomorrow and take a look at me. If you have time, please take Xiaoyue to the palace to see me. Hey, I'm really all alone!"
"I know, brother!" Zhao Ying smiled happily.
After the two chatted for a while, the emperor returned to the palace. Several figures also flew out of the Marshal's Mansion shortly after leaving and jumped towards the palace.
The emperor returned to the imperial study. A man in black knelt on one knee in front of the emperor. Emperor Zhao Zhen asked, "Have you detected Yue Qing's aura?"
"Your Majesty, the investigation at the Marshal's Mansion has been completed, and there is no trace of Yue Qing's breath! However, Yue Qing's soul pendant has been found in the eldest princess's room. It has been confirmed that the soul pendant has been broken."
"Okay! I'm relieved now!"
It was night, and there was heavy snowfall in Kyoto. In just two hours, the land was already a vast expanse. Zhao Ying, wearing a red cloak, stood under the eaves of the atrium and reached out to catch a snowflake. "Brother Qing, are you here to see me?" By the time she finished speaking, tears had slid down her beautiful cheeks. After watching for a while, Zhao Ying walked into the atrium, waved her sleeves and danced a whirlwind dance. After dancing for a while, Zhao Ying brushed off the snowflakes that fell on her body and sang, "We miss each other in the same snow, and we can be counted as growing old together in this life." If it's snow, it's a sure thing that we meet again!" After saying that, he dragged his trembling body towards the inner room.
The next day, as the sky was twilight, a scream from the Marshal's Mansion broke the morning tranquility. It turned out that the eldest princess had prepared three feet of white silk for herself and went to pursue Yue Qing.
In the palace, the emperor was in a good mood after a leisurely night and was about to have breakfast when a small yellow door came to report, "Your Majesty, the eldest princess passed away last night!" The jade bracelet in the emperor's hand suddenly fell off and he said angrily: "Show me at the Marshal's Mansion. !”
In the Marshal's Mansion, after Zhao Ying was found dead, the entire Marshal's Mansion suddenly became busy. At this time, the sky was gray-white, the earth was snow-white, and the entire Marshal's Mansion was quickly dressed in white. Overall, it seemed that the entire Marshal's Mansion had disappeared from this world. Same……
Seven days later, the emperor sat in the royal study with a man kneeling below him. The emperor asked: "Yue Yi, have you found it?" "Your Majesty, on the day the eldest princess was buried, Mr. Yue left the capital through the Baihu Gate with a child under his ribs. He did it very secretly, but he was still discovered by our people. Found out, during the tracking process, An Yi was afraid that they would escape, so he shot a talisman arrow. Old Man Yue caught the talisman arrow with his back, but he underestimated An Yi and overestimated his old bones, and the talisman arrow passed through. His back also penetrated Yue Yi's head, and by the time we caught up, both of them were already dead."
"Okay, I understand." The emperor had no expression on his face, motioning for the secret guards to retreat, and said, "Everything is ready, it's time for the world to rise!"
At the tomb of the eldest princess Zhao Ying on the outskirts of Kyoto, it snowed heavily again. Suddenly the stone bricks on the side loosened and fell, and then a few more fell. Then two men and a child walked out from inside. These were clearly Yan Yan, Huang Li and Yue Yi. After the three people came out, they sealed the stone bricks again. Afterwards, the three of them knelt down and bowed before leaving the princess's tomb and heading east. The wind and snow became stronger at this time, and the footprints of the three of them were covered after a while, as if nothing had happened.
