Kyoto, suburbs, a quiet manor.
Duan Tianya stood quietly in a small pavilion on one side of the pool. In front of him, Liu Sheng was sitting cross-legged on a piece of bluestone, playing the recorder.
Although she has given birth to a son, as a martial arts practitioner, Piaoxu is still as delicate and beautiful as Duan Tianya once saw her for the first time, with the sound of gurgling water seeming to flow from her small and tender mouth.
Music can sublimate people's soul.
The series of things that happened in these days made Duan Tianya exhausted. Looking at his wife's face affectionately and listening to the quiet music, his increasingly tense mind gradually relaxed.
The lights are dim and the pond is lonely.
The sound of the flute is lonely, and the elegant rhyme comes out of the dust.
Under the bright moonlight, the fluttering catkins in green clothes are like a left-behind green lotus, lonely and alone [png], unique and lonely.
The song is over.
Facing his wife's expectant eyes, Duan Tianya thought for a moment and uttered two words: "Sounds good!"
Piaoxu smiled, and then felt a little proud: "Lang'er sleeps very soundly every time he hears me playing the flute."
Duan Tianya nodded.
"The two happiest days for us were probably the time on Snake Island, where we could sit up and down at sunrise and rest without having to worry about anything.
Every day after dinner, Lang'er and I would listen to you playing the flute. "
"Then let's go back quickly. After we go back, I will play the flute every day." Piaoxu said expectantly.
"Meow meow~" The little yellow cat jumped out directly, then got into Piaoxu's arms and spread its arms.
[Playing the flute every day, even if you are a master of internal medicine, your body can't stand it, right? 】
Duan Tianya and his wife didn't take it seriously. The cat was so mysterious that even his adoptive father couldn't do anything about it, let alone them.
Besides, after this incident, Duan Tianya was ready to retire from the world. When the time comes, will this cat be able to chase him all the way to Snake Island overseas, and compete with Lang'er for milk?
"The day after tomorrow is Haitang's wedding day. Let's go for a glass of wedding wine!" Duan Tianya said with a smile.
Hearing the name Haitang, Piaoxu felt a little troubled: "Begonia is still different in your heart."
Duan Tianya didn't understand what he meant and nodded: "We grew up together, practiced martial arts and played, and I have always treated her as my biological sister. If I don't go to my biological sister's big day, maybe people will be disappointed."
Piaoxu's little mouth was slightly open, her face was frowning, and her mind was full of thoughts.
Touching the little yellow cat in her arms, she suddenly had a bold idea.
If she had the help of this strange beast, could she escape from that sinister plan and allow her family to retreat into the mountains and forests?
He pinched the little yellow cat's paws and raised it in front of him.
"Meow~" There was a trace of confusion in the big blue eyes of the little yellow cat. The pink tongue stretched out and licked around the small mouth, licking up the unknown colorless liquid.
【What are you looking at? 】
Piaoxu:......
Suddenly, the young woman looked towards the side path of the pond. Duan Tianya seemed to hear something and turned his head.
"Whoosh~" The sound of armor rubbing against each other.
After a while, the two saw an official wearing a red robe striding over under the protection of dozens of forbidden troops.
When he saw Duan Tianya, the official stroked his beard and said, "I'm Fu Tiecheng."
Duan Tianya hurriedly clasped his fists and said, "Greetings, Master Fu. You are here. We apologize for not being far away to welcome you."
As Tianzi's No. 1 secret agent, he naturally has an in-depth understanding of all officials in the court. Fu Tiesheng is now a bachelor of Wenhua Pavilion and the chief assistant of the cabinet. He is under one person and above ten thousand people, and has a high position of authority.
Fu Tiesheng nodded: "Kneel down."
"Kneel down?" Duan Tianya was extremely surprised.
A cold light flashed in Piaoxu's eyes. Her husband could only kneel to her. This man actually made such an unreasonable request, which was a recipe for death.
Fu Tiesheng turned his head and looked aside. The old god was there and said slowly: "There is a will!"
Piaoxu silently handed the little yellow cat in her arms to Duan Tianya.
Fu Tiesheng looked at the gold medal tied on the little yellow cat's shoulder and said: It's like I'm here in person. He was startled for a moment, and then fell into deep thought.
After a while.
"Long live the Holy Ann." Fu Tiesheng knelt down directly.
Even if he is the chief minister of the cabinet, the rules are the rules. No matter how unreliable the current emperor is, he must abide by the rules on the surface.
"Meow~"
Piaoxu smiled and said, "My dear, if you have anything to say, Grand Master, just tell me."
Fu Tiesheng stood up with the support of the guards, looking helpless.
He has lived at such an old age. To be honest, what kind of scenes have he never seen? But this time, he really didn't know what to say.
With this gold medal, how can I let the emperor kneel down on his own?
Outrageous!
However, the emperor has done too many outrageous things, including this one, which is nothing! Fu Tiesheng quickly comforted himself in his heart.
The greatest benefit of this emperor to their civil servants is that he doesn't care about things. This is their favorite emperor.
But looking at what the iron-courage god did, they were extremely frightened.
Although they don't care who becomes the emperor, the more rubbish the better. But what is the difference between Zhu Wuli's Hulong Villa and the Jinyiwei in Taizu's time?
If you complain today, the emperor will know tomorrow. The tomb was prepared before going to court every day, and the skin and bones of the little greedy man were skinned and dismembered for just a few hundred taels of silver. Thinking about such days is terrifying.
We must not allow this Zhu to become the emperor!
Having made up his mind, Fu Tiesheng didn't bother to bother with any more red tape and took out the imperial edict.
"With the amnesty order, Duan Tianya, the Tianzi No. 1 secret agent of Hulong Villa, immediately left Hulong Villa and was given the title of the first four imperial guards with swords. He was also the commander of the Imperial Guards' personal army. He had jurisdiction over 3,000 battalions and 1 guard of 8,000 people. Admire this."
Duan Tianya was startled: "Grand Bachelor, what do you mean?"
Fu Tiesheng said coldly: "If even a word of what I say to you is leaked out by the three of you in the family, we will be executed!"
"Qiang~" The surrounding forbidden troops drew their swords directly and faced them to the side with an overwhelming momentum.
You can't face Duan Tianya because there is a gold medal.
Fu Tiesheng:..........
After a moment of silence, he continued in a deep voice: "Duan Tianya, let me ask you, are you a subject of the Ming Dynasty? Are you loyal to the Ming Dynasty, the court, and the emperor?"
Duan Tianya said without hesitation: "My allegiance is naturally to the Emperor."
From childhood to adulthood, their adoptive father taught them to be loyal to the emperor, patriotic, and self-sacrificial.
Fu Tiesheng nodded: "Then you know that Zhu Wuwu did the same thing as him after he eliminated Liu Jin, colluding with cronies and threatening the ten generals to obey him.
They even asked them to present a memorial together to force the emperor to violate the late emperor's will and agree to his marriage to Min'er Su Xin.
Even the 300,000 troops stationed in the suburbs have been using various excuses to stand still after Liu Jin's death, and now food and ammunition are constantly being transported into the military camp.
So what does he do next? It's obvious that he wants to rebel and become a traitor! "
"No, my adoptive father is loyal and courageous. He will not do this." Duan Tianya firmly said.
"Huh, Zhu Wuwu is loyal and courageous, but he is loyal to the Ming Dynasty and righteous to the country. Do you think he will take the emperor's little nephew seriously now?" Fu Tiesheng snorted coldly.
Duan Tianya was startled. On one side was his adopted father who had raised and cared for him for twenty years, and on the other was the emperor who had sworn allegiance to him since childhood. He really didn't know what to choose now.
Even, deep down in his heart, he felt that it might be better for his adoptive father to be the emperor than the current emperor.
Looking back, he noticed the expectation in his wife's eyes, and Duan Tianya clasped his fists: "Master Fu, please forgive me. Tianya has decided to retire and return to his hometown, and will no longer visit the Central Plains. I'm sorry that I can't obey my fate!"
Fu Tiesheng's face suddenly turned ugly: "You know, with the current situation, the world and all the people will be overthrown in an instant, just like fighting on a chess field, it's all black and white. There is no room for you to stay out of the matter."
Duan Tianya thought for a moment, but he was still upright.
Said: "Sorry."
"You!" Fu Tiesheng was furious: "If you don't get enough oil and salt, I thought you were a truly loyal and patriotic person. Come and arrest them all."
"Meow!" The little yellow cat was also furious.
How dare you touch my little cat’s cafeteria!
The guards looked at each other and did not dare to step forward.
Many of them have been on duty in the palace, not to mention whether they dare to deal with this little ancestor recognized by General Manager Cao, or whether they dare to deal with the gold medal that I am here in person.
This must at least be fought!
Fu Tiesheng stood with his hands behind his back and waited for a while to see if Duan Tianya would beg for mercy and admit his mistake, but now this is the result.
The situation suddenly became awkward.
How could he, an old scholar, deal with a master like Duan Tianya?
A gentleman beware of independence!
Fu Tiesheng put his hands in front of him and bowed deeply: "Master Duan, since you are determined to go into seclusion, I hope you will consider it for the common people and never tell this matter.
Thank you, old man! "
As he spoke, Fu Tiesheng was ready to kneel down.
Duan Tianya hurriedly helped him up: "Master Fu is serious, tomorrow morning, no, after a while, my wife and I will pack our things and leave overnight.
I didn't see anyone today either.
From now on, the affairs of the imperial court and Jianghu have nothing to do with me! "
Fu Tiesheng nodded and looked at the young people and the little yellow cat. His originally bright eyes gradually became cloudy.
At this moment, he suddenly had a bad premonition.
It is conceivable that if Zhu Wuli's rebellion is successful, then as the last chief minister of the dynasty a hundred years later, how will the history books write about him?
[An app that has been running stably for many years, comparable to the old book-chasing tool, used by all old bookworms.
Is it family?
After washing up, Princess Yunluo fell into a deep sleep. As a pregnant woman, she often feels sleepy and suffers from back pain. Fortunately, Le Ye came over and stepped on her body to soothe her blood.
But Haitang always couldn't sleep.
Tomorrow is the most important day in her life, and it is also the day that determines whether she will be happy in the rest of her life. She is a little nervous.
Get up and open the door.
The bright moon is hanging high, and the moonlight is as white as a girl's skin, soft and moist.
At a glance, she saw Gui Hai Yida standing outside the door.
After being stunned for a long time, Haitang asked excitedly: "Has your inner demon been removed?"
Gui Hai Yi Dao nodded slightly.
"I've been counting these days. Counting these days, you should have completed your merits." Haitang said with a smile.
Guihai took two steps closer with a knife stroke: "How can it be considered as a perfect function? I will come over to drink your wedding wine.
Mrs. Wan! "
These days, every time his inner demons attack, he will think of Haitang and miss her. For her, he endures everything. But as soon as he came out of quarantine, he received a wedding invitation from the person he loved most.
Every word on the wedding invitation seemed like a knife piercing his heart, one cut at a time, no blood, but it was more painful than being cut into pieces by a thousand cuts.
Shangguan Haitang laughed: "I knew you would say that, but you have always known that you and I have always been brothers and sisters, Qingmu Zhuma.
I have been too familiar with you since I was a child. If I married you, I would not be used to it.
And, you know, you killed ninety-seven people during your madness, which is a heinous crime. Brother Wan has negotiated with ninety-five families for you at my request, and they have promised not to seek revenge from you again.
One knife, we will always be brothers from now on! "
Gui Hai took a deep look at her, closed his eyes for a long time, and finally opened his eyes and said slowly: "The wedding is tomorrow, why are you here alone?"
"I just couldn't sleep, so I wanted to go out for a walk."
Guihai Yida smiled: "You are alone, you are too lonely."
Haitang raised her head slightly and smiled sideways: "There is also the moon, so I am not alone."
The bright moon is like jade, and the cold white moonlight shines on the world. Begonia seems to be the incarnation of the moonlight. Every frown and smile is elegant, and the corners of her eyes and eyebrows are clear.
Gui Hai Yi Dao was stunned for a long time before he recovered.
Maybe, true love is to let go.
