The incident that Li Weilan recalled, such as the menacing flood peak crossing, washed away the last wall of Li Fan's heart.
Li Fan's expression suddenly softened: "Lan'er, you are right! I am ashamed that a deputy envoy of Longzhou Xuanfu and a member of the Imperial Court from Wupin is actually inferior to the insight of an old man..."
Seeing that the direction of the wind had changed, Xin Yi interceded again: "Lord Li Toast, the little girl has heard that you are a man who looks up to the mountain and the scenery is stopped, and if the little girl today is not cornered, she will never make this decision." There are many offenses, but I am eager to save my mother's life, and I hope that Lord Li Toast will forgive me! ”
"Well, now, I might as well be a good person and do what the young lady wants." Li Fan instructed Li Weilan, "Lan'er, go to the pharmacy quickly, there is a carved wooden box in the cabinet behind the screen, and the undead bird is placed inside." You take out the undead bird and give it to this young lady, and you don't receive anything. ”
Hearing Li Fan's arrangement, Li Weilan hurriedly ran to get the undead bird. After Li Weilan brought the undead bird, Xin Yi asked Li Weilan to open the wooden box and confirm that it was correct, and then he safely lowered the plum blossom dagger from Li Fan's neck.
Xin Yi, who got the immortal bird, excitedly thanked Li Fan and Li Weilan: "Lord Li Toast, Li Gongzi, the great kindness of your house, the little girl has no teeth and unforgettable!" Today, there are many offenses, it is really desperate, and I still hope that Lord Li Toast and Li Gongzi Haihan will be. The immortal bird is incomparably precious, the little girl must not take it in vain, this fifty-two silver, please Lord Li Toast you must accept it, even if it is the cost of buying the undead bird, it should also be the little girl's offense today. ”
After performing the thank-you ceremony, Xin Yi put down fifty taels of silver and hurried away with his baggage.
Walking quickly out of the Li Mansion, the little white horse was still leisurely shaking its tail under the weeping willow tree, fanning mosquitoes. Xin Yi jumped on the horse's back, stood up, threw the whip in one hand, and took the reins with the other, and his posture was skillful and free, and the momentum was calm and relaxed. Riding a horse galloping, the horse flew like an arrow, not like a horse carrying Xin Yi in a hurry, but like a condor carrying Xin Yi in the sky.
When Xin Yi left Li Tusi's mansion, Li Fan angrily shouted at Li Weilan, "You stupid boy, why are you still stunned here?" Don't you hurry up and stop that, and chase the undead bird back! ”
"But Father, didn't you just say..." Li Weilan opened his mouth.
"It's not a stopgap measure for the Father to say that, and you stupid boy can't see it?" Li Fan's anger was raging, "What god are you still sending?" Don't chase it yet! ”
Li Fan made a stern remark, and Li Weilan could not disobey, so he had to pull out a jujube red high-headed horse from the stable and chase it out along the Yinping Ancient Road.
Li Weilan's silver saddle horse galloped like a strong wind and was as strong as lightning, but it still couldn't catch up with Xin Yi, who was as light as a leaf. Xin Yima was like a meteor man like an arrow, and had already gone far. Li Weilan whipped the horse, clamped the horse's belly, and accelerated the speed of the catch-up.
All the way to the Pursuit, when he was about to reach the White Grass Fort, Li Weilan saw a familiar figure in the distance, it was Xin Yi who was completely unaware of the people behind him. What puzzled Li Weilan was that this Wu Lingxiao girl, who claimed to be from the Wu family in Tongchuan Prefecture, did not go in the direction of Tongchuan Prefecture in the lower reaches of the Fu River, but went straight to the direction of Ningwusi in Longzhou in the upper reaches of the Fu River!
Li Weilan's begonia-like eyes suddenly dimmed, and a feeling of being deceived by beauty, like a worm burrowing into his heart, made his softest organs bite and bite, and it hurt sharply.
Li Weilan did not continue to track Down Xin Yi, but turned his horse's head and headed for Li Tusi's mansion. Riding on a horse, Li Weilan was absent-minded and listless. Every step of the horseshoe print was a hot soldering iron, burned on his heart, burning with pain. He couldn't understand what such a weak and strong girl came from? What secrets are hidden? Why lie to deceive him and Li Fan?
Unconsciously, Li Weilan returned to the gate of Li Tusi Mansion. Li Weilan pondered for a moment and walked in. After handing over the jujube red horse to the groom and tying it up, Li Weilan came to the hall and reported the situation to Li Fan, who was waiting for news.
"Pray to your father, the child is incompetent!" The child failed to catch up with the girl and asked his father to punish her. Li Weilan took the initiative to plead guilty with Li Fan.
Li Fan played with the fifty-two pieces of silver left by Xin Yi and sighed, "Alas, this lady will go with her, if he has the opportunity to go to Tongchuan Prefecture one day, I will definitely inquire about the origin of this Wu family." Fifty taels of silver for an immortal bird is not a loss, but I don't know if I will be lucky enough to meet another one in the future. ”
Li Weilan nodded, and did not tell Li Fan that he had discovered that the mysterious girl might not be from Tongchuan Prefecture. Maybe her name, her origins, her stories, are all fake.
Unlike the dew on the leaves in the morning, it is gone in the blink of an eye. For Li Weilan, this enigmatic girl emitted a burst of incense, unique and strange, making him repeatedly elusive, like a profound silhouette, printed in Li Weilan's mind.
The distant figure is out of reach, but the mystery left behind is inseparable.
Wang Tan's sudden death, Wang Fan and Wang Huan's life and death are uncertain, the original sun in the sky is shining, but the light on Wang Xi's family is particularly cold. The ornate pavilions behind him were ground into terrible flood beasts, desperately tearing apart the few clouds left in the canopy.
It didn't rain, but the pain in Wang Xi's chest flooded into flames, and he cried out to be relieved. Wang Xi clenched his fists and looked up at the sky, the blue stretched to the end of the sky, like a beating heart in his chest, the melody went all the way to the distance, constantly shouting Wang Tan's name.
The third lady, Tian Wenniang, who was immersed in the pain of losing her son, shed bean-sized tears, scrubbed and bathed her deceased son Wang Tan, combed her hair, and changed into new clothes and shoes. Together with Wang Xi, the Third Lady personally placed Wang Tan's body on the spiritual bed, placed a few incense feasts, and lit a long lamp in front of the huge word "Dian". The Wang family burned paper money and lit incense candles for Wang Tan. In a choking cry, the delicate flowers set off the dead Wang Tan, and how everyone hoped that Wang Tan was only temporarily asleep, and he would wake up.
The sky of Ningwusi Panlongba was clear, but there seemed to be a thick ink-colored cloud squeezing the sky above Wang Tusi's mansion, hiding the scarlet eyes of the Wang family, and it was as if it was about to fall, so depressed that the Wang family was almost out of breath. The originally gentle breeze became indifferent and fierce, mercilessly slapping Wang Xi, allowing him to taste the bitterness of the white-haired man sending the black-haired man.
Although the second lady, Cao Yuniang, was not Wang Tan's birth mother, after all, she had watched Wang Tan grow up, and her own son Wang Fan was also uncertain of his life and death at this time, and he did not know whether he would play the same sad song as Wang Tan. Thinking of this, the Second Lady cried even more sadly. Suddenly, the Second Lady remembered an extremely important matter, hurried over to Wang Xi, who was burning paper money for Wang Tan, and whispered, "Lord, do you remember that dream about the dragon with the candle?" ”
After being reminded by the Second Lady, Wang Xi instantly returned to that terrible dream and shivered. The words of the dragon with the candle in the dream were still vividly remembered by Wang Xi.
The words spoken by the dragon with the candle in the dream, as well as the celestial providence of the innocent mage that day, the desperate prophecy seemed to have been opened, encircling Wang Xi tightly, and he could not help but break free, and could only be ruthlessly orchestrated by fate.
The raging anger burned in Wang Xi's heart, and he roared up to the heavens: "Originally, the king wanted his subjects to die, and the subjects had to die, but my royal family was loyal to the martyrs, loyal to Daming for generations, born and died for the imperial court, and never had any act of trespassing, so why did he use such a vicious and vicious means to kill my whole family?" Oh, Oh, Oh, The Zhu family royal family is forcing my royal family to defend itself! It turned out that this was the meaning of 'the will of heaven' that Master Wu Fei said! This is not a dream, but a true prophetic prophecy of my dragon ancestors! It seems that what the Innocent Mage and the Ancestors of the Dragon Clan said is not false! ”
After a heart-rending rebuke, Wang Xi quickly fell lonely, his expression sluggish, and said to himself: "Unfortunately, I did not follow the teachings of the Dragon Ancestors in the Dream, did not follow the will of Heaven, and the Dragon Clan bloodline was not enshrined, thus causing the dissatisfaction of the Dragon Clan ancestors, which led to Tan'er's death and fulfilled the prophet's prophecy." And the imperial court probably looked at the sky through the Qin Tianjian at night, and had already learned that there were purple clouds on the Tusi Mansion of the King of Longzhou, and the purple micro stars were gradually moving westward, which was the symbol of the emperor. Empress Zhang was afraid of Zhu Xing of the Wang Dynasty, and deliberately set up a poison plan to kill the killer, hoping to poison my whole family..."
Seeing that Wang Xi was unusually calm and unusual, he had become a god and a god, and Xu Gong, who did not know the situation, locked his brows tightly, and secretly speculated in his heart about the beginning of this matter. Xu Gong vigilantly and secretly observed the subtle expressions of everyone present, and he vaguely felt that this matter was strange and strange, as if something was wrong, but he did not know exactly what was wrong.
"Lord Wang Toast, why are you..." Before Xu Gong could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Wang Xi.
Wang Xi's three thousand green silks seemed to instantly breed countless white hairs because of the pain of losing his son: "Xu Gong, when Tan'er's funeral is completed, I have important things to discuss with you." ”
Xu Gong nodded, his heart heavy, he was worried that Wang Xi's family was being caught up in an invisible whirlpool. Xu Gong thought to himself, Lord Wang Tusi had made great military achievements in the "Pingsong Rebellion", and was promoted by the imperial court to the position of Zhengliu Pin Longzhou Xuanfu Si Shi, and was enfeoffed as a "Zhaoxin Lieutenant" and rewarded with 40,000 taels of silver, these rewards were obviously higher than Xue Zhongyi and Li Fan, and it was reasonable to say that this was the imperial court who valued Wang Tusi's great talent. If the imperial court really wanted to attack Lord Wang Tusi, why not directly do it in the Capital Division? Could it be that after experiencing the "Pingsong Rebellion", Lord Wang Tusi confiscated a large number of gold bars from the Zhangla Gold Mine and concealed it from the imperial court, did not hand over the gold to the imperial court in time, and was informed by the gangsters? If he was really informed, the imperial court would definitely strictly investigate, detain Lord Wang Tusi in the custody of the Beijing Division for examination, and would never let Lord Wang Toast return to Ningwusi in Longzhou. Could it be that the imperial court was jealous of the growing power of the young and powerful Lord Wang Tusi, while Xue Zhongyi was old and li bo was not afraid of illness, fearing that Lord Wang Tusi would establish himself as king, divide one side, and threaten the rule of the imperial court? Lord Wang Toast has always been loyal to Daming, and because he did not catch lord Wang Toast's handle, the imperial court would come up with the conspiracy trick of poisoning the preserved fruit of the court given by the emperor? If Lord Wang Tusi really died in Longzhou, far from the high road of Jingshi Mountain, the emperor would have been able to get rid of it, so as not to attract the insults of the faint tyrant who killed his loyal subjects, and he could also use this to disintegrate the local forces in Longzhou and return all the wealth of the Zhangla gold mine to the national treasury, which is really a number of birds with one stone.
A sea of flowers in a power struggle, all flowers in all their efforts to be brilliant. Some flowers are budding, and some flowers have bloomed to the point of blooming. When the flowers bloom to the fullest, they are on the verge of death.
The sunset pulls down the night, and the dusk in the King's Toast House makes people extremely lonely. The footsteps of the night gradually approached, tearing apart the beauty and splendor, leaving an empty melancholy in vain. Mengxia evening in Longzhou Panlongba, as soon as the sun sets, the weather begins to cool down, the gentle evening wind drives away the heat, the temperature is just right, it will not make people sweat, nor will it make people feel hot and suffocating, leaving only a comfortable and comfortable cool.
The pain of the white-haired man sending the black-haired person penetrates the heart and hurts into the bone marrow. Tian Wenniang, the third wife of Wang Tan's birth mother, was always unwilling to believe the fact that Wang Tan had passed away, and sat on her knees next to Wang Tan's spiritual bed, shouting Wang Tan's name over and over again. The teenager who had once been warm and warm, now closed his purple lips tightly, and could no longer open his mouth to respond to the call of his mother.
The sound of Dada's horseshoe came over his face, and the desolate and sad hiss was accompanied by the sadness of the king's toast, entangled with the heartbreaking sounds, intertwined into a lament of the broken intestines.
Anlan hurriedly ran to take a look and reported to the crowd, "It's Miss! Miss Xin Yi is back! ”
Hearing only the sound of "Woo-", Xin Yi jumped off his horse, found Zhang Langzhong, and handed the undead bird to him.
Zhang Langzhong excitedly took the immortal bird and asked Luo Mei, who had already grasped several other herbs, to go to the East Kitchen to boil the medicine quickly, to ensure that the antidote could be boiled out as soon as possible, so that the poisoned Wang Fan and Wang Huan could drink it.
Seeing Xin Yi return with the undead bird, Wang Xi was surprised and delighted: "Xin Yi, you have worked hard!" How did you do that? This time, Lu Er and Huan Er can be regarded as saved! ”
If it had been before, Xin Yi would have mocked how stupid Li Fan's father and son were. But in the spiritual hall in front of her, it was not someone else lying down, but Wang Tan, who had grown up with her day and night. Xin Yi was still in the mood to laugh and said lightly, "Father Lord, let's talk about it later." Xin Yi went to give Brother Tan an incense. ”
The Wang Tan who had once been alive and jumping around had now become a cold and stiff corpse, lying a spiritual bed that did not belong to his age. Thinking of playing and playing with Wang Tan in the past, and thinking of all the good things that Wang Tan treated her before she died, Xin Yi couldn't help but shed tears again. Xin Yi thought silently in his heart, although Brother Tan said that he was greedy for food on weekdays, he was generous in heart, sincere in his treatment, filial piety to his parents, and even more humble to several brothers and sisters. Such a good person, before the age of the weak crown, will be ruthlessly taken away from life.
From Wang Xi's mouth, Xin Yi learned that these were all conspiracies between the emperor and Empress Zhang, and why poor Wang Tan would be innocently implicated, these political struggles should have nothing to do with him. Wang Tan, who had never had a grudge with anyone, only hated to be born in the Toast Family, which caused such a disaster and became a victim of the political struggle between the imperial court and the localities.
Wang Xi, who had suffered the pain of losing his son, grew much older in one day, and indignantly said to many of his sons and daughters: "Our royal family has been loyal to the imperial court for generations, and we have absolutely no second thoughts, even if Master Wufei repeatedly advised each other that day, my Wang Xi never thought of rebelling and becoming an emperor!" However, the Emperor is unkind and unjust, and the imperial court is sinister and vicious, and since this time we have already inflicted this poisonous hand on our royal family, there will certainly be more vicious tricks in the future, and we have to take precautions! I don't want to rebel and become emperor, I just want to keep my family safe! It is nothing to ask me Wang Xi to die, but you are still young, you are all my flesh and blood relatives, and I can no longer watch you like Tan'er, one by one young to become the ghosts of the dark lord's sword! ”
Seeing that there were many people in Wang Tusi's mansion, although Wang Jian, as the eldest son of the concubine, was also very sad, he still tried his best to strengthen his spirits, came to Wang Xi's side, and advised Wang Xi: "Father, the fifth brother unfortunately died, and you are sad and over-say excessive words so that everyone can understand." However, there are many people in the Toast House, and if it reaches the ears of Xue Tusi and Li Toast, it will not be good for them to play the emperor's impeachment of you. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, please still ring the alarm bell for those present. ”
The third son Wang Ji, who was standing next to him, was not convinced, and rushed out: "Big brother, you are too cautious and cautious, originally they were too deceitful by their surname Zhu!" Father, we don't have to be afraid of them, instead of sitting still, it is better to take the initiative. Bao'er's cloud washing sword is not practiced in vain, when the father establishes himself as the king and unveils the pole uprising, bao'er is willing to take the initiative to take the initiative to go out on the expedition, personally cut off the heads of the dog emperor and Empress Zhang, avenge the snow hatred for the fifth brother, and comfort him in the spirit of heaven! ”
Wang Xi waved his hand, and after pondering for a moment, he said to Wang Ji with a solemn look: "Ji'er, even if the imperial court is so sinister and vicious, there is absolutely no rebellion for the father!" We only need to be prepared to protect ourselves, in case the imperial court fails to make a plan, regenerate the second plan, and then send thousands of troops and horses to lay down a net of heaven and earth, which is bound to wipe out our royal family. The Father knows that you are bent on avenging Tan'er, but you must not act recklessly, otherwise if you take a wrong step, my royal family will fall into the abyss of eternal disaster. ”
Hearing Wang Xi's words, Wang Ji bowed his head with some shame: "What the father said is extremely true, it is that the child is too reckless, and the child listens to the father's command." ”
"All of you here, don't be impatient, I have something to tell you!" Wang Xi loudly announced to the crowd, "No matter what happened in my King's Toast Mansion today, no matter what they saw or heard, they must not reveal half a sentence to outsiders, otherwise They will blame me for the ruthlessness of Wang Xi's men!" Too many things have happened in the palace today, so tomorrow I will report the funeral to the Wang clan. As for the death of my son Wang Tan, when he posted the obituary, he said that he died of a summer heat, did you hear clearly? ”
Wang Xi spoke, and everyone knelt down and nodded.
Twilight put away the long line of sorrow, and the dark night toner appeared. Some of the people in Panlongba, Longzhou, sang and danced, some rejoiced and reunited, and Wang Xi's family hid in the lights and choked on their sorrows.
The sound of the heart being broken into pieces was faintly heard in the air, sharp and hoarse. Like an incense lit in front of the Buddha, when the mind is quiet, it is bitter and sad, and the heartache of life and death is suddenly set on fire. Sentimentality is infinitely extended and stretched in places where the sun cannot touch. The passing twilight touched the wounds in the depths of the heart, and this pain could only be hidden in the dark world.
