Entering the city, the avenue facing the Zhuque Gate just south of Taiji Palace was very noisy. There was a young man of about the same age, wearing armor and holding a red tassel gun in his hand.
His face was covered with beard, and even his hair was somewhat disheveled, making others look crazy.
There is no sour odor like those who are truly unkempt and unvirtuous, and there is no cloudiness and lack of focus in the eyes of the old or the mentally ill.
The appearance of that young man is actually completely opposite to those of truly crazy people. The hand holding the red tassel gun is very strong, and he looks like he has experienced many battles when holding the gun. Although it has been well maintained by the owner, it can still be clearly seen. That heroic spirit of the past.
As for the young man himself, the impenetrable emotion in his eyes was obviously not frustration, let alone confusion...
"How did the young general of the past end up like this? He is really pitiful."
"I heard it was for a girl's family... When I returned to Jingzhao City from the battle more than ten years ago, it seemed that the girl passed away for some unknown reason, and she became like this.
Although Li Lan has been here in the Kyushu Continent for a while, the time he spent in Jingzhao City was really short, and he was constantly traveling back and forth. This was the first time he heard the story of this young general.
"I protected this big man, but didn't protect my own family. It's really pathetic."
"It's not necessary for me to say it." The passerby was obviously very dissatisfied with this, "She is just a wife who has not been married to the family. Why should she sink like this?"
"Don't talk about this. I heard that the general was on the eve of his wedding..."
The young man got closer and closer, and everyone's gossip gradually became quiet. On the contrary, Li Lan and everyone listened completely.
"Could this general be that girl's fiance?" Yan Huo listened to the complete gossip of the two people just now, and naturally connected it with the girl's matter.
The Taoist priests of Xuanyunguan had no intention of claiming credit, and refused to follow Li Lan and others into the palace no matter what. I said goodbye to Li Lan a long time ago, and I should have returned to the temple now.
Recalling what the Taoist Master said, Li Lan sighed: "The teacher said that girl should have lived in harmony with the same general all her life. Logically speaking, she is probably the one in front of us."
"Let's go to the palace first. If you really want to know, Your Majesty and His Highness the Third Prince should know better. It's not easy to expose someone's scars." Li Lan's implication was that no matter how curious Yan Huo was, he couldn't go there. Ask people about this in person.
The four of them walked through the crowd together and arrived at the Zhuque Gate. Then they turned east and entered the Tai Chi Palace along the southeast Ankang Gate.
The queen who was waiting to hear the story had already been in place. The emperor, who had asked Li Lan for help, knew that everyone had returned and had arranged for his guards to wait at Ankang Gate. As soon as everyone came in, he would directly take them away. Went to Tai Chi Hall.
"Your Majesty, with the help of the Taoist priests of Xuanyunguan, the matter of hauntings in the suburbs of Beijing has been completely solved." Following the local customs, and the fact that he is no longer An Lan, the emperor is still hiding it, Li Lan naturally addresses himself as Your Majesty.
"All the villages in the ravine next to the village were wiped out."
Just when Li Lan was telling the emperor what had happened, a guard suddenly came to report that General Qing Shu, the protector of the country, had entered the Tai Chi Palace through the private door and was now waiting to be summoned.
"Let's ask General Qing to go to the side hall to rest for a while. I will invite General Qing in later." After making arrangements with the guards around him, the emperor came back and asked Li Lan: "You said that girl said that her husband was married before she got married?" He left the night before, maybe because of the war?"
"That's right." Li Lan took out the items wrapped in brocade cloth. She didn't know if the emperor was shy about it, so she just held it in her hand, "The girl also left something behind, saying it was a token of love between the two. .”
Who would have thought that when the emperor saw this thing, his expression immediately changed and he asked: "The village you mentioned is indeed the village next to the official road?"
Li Lan didn't know what the emperor was thinking of, but when he saw the empress beside him with the same solemn expression, he had no choice but to nod in agreement.
"So..." The emperor paused for a while and finally called to his left and right, "Quickly call General Qing in."
General Qingshu soon entered the main hall from the side hall, bowed his head for a week to see the emperor, and said: "Your Majesty."
"Your Majesty just asked me to wait for a while, and then suddenly called me in, but what's the important matter?"
The emperor asked his attendants to ask for the thing wrapped in brocade cloth from Li Lan, and then handed it to General Qingshu without saying a word.
"Your Majesty, what is this..."
General Qingshu, who had not received the thing yet, was puzzled. When the thing came into his hands, Qingshu was stunned and subconsciously asked, "Where did this thing come from?"
Since the founding of the Kingdom of Da Li, except for the period when the founding emperor was on the throne, the royal family and the Qing family have always been as close as one family. The emperor would ask General Qingshu to inquire in the palace, knowing that the latter had a sense of proportion.
Looking at Li Lan standing aside, Qingshu asked: "This thing shouldn't belong to the girl, right? May I ask where did the girl get it?"
