You are not allowed to go anywhere, just kneel here for us, kneel well!
Poof, when the old man finished speaking, Li Jinglong immediately knelt down straight.
Zhu Yunxi was a little surprised. The old man was usually quite kind to Li Jinglong. After all, he was the son of his nephew and a relative of the Zhu family. Why did he kneel down as a punishment today!
Shall we drink upstairs? Zhu Yunxi asked with a smile.
It's nice upstairs, it's cool and ventilated! The old man said with a smile.
However, we can't drink too much. The imperial doctor also said that drinking too much is bad for your health! Zhu Yunxi helped the old man go upstairs, and his grandson asked them to prepare food. Let us drink Shaoxing yellow wine and make some side dishes as we like.
Is it good?
Okay, I will listen to you! The old man smiled with a loving look on his face.
After the two men went upstairs, the bastard got up from the ground and looked at Li Jinglong, who was kneeling motionless next to him. His heart softened. He looked upstairs first, then to the left and right, then calmly walked to the chair and swept it away.
A mat, and then with a tip of the toe, the mat slid directly in front of Li Jinglong.
Li Jinglong understood this, raised his knees slightly, put a soft cushion under his knees, covered it with his official robe, and smiled at the bastard's shame.
Hey, this Lao Wang without eggs is more loyal than many real men with eggs! Li Jinglong thought to himself.
The bastard went outside the palace and asked people to prepare wine and food. Suddenly, he found two unfamiliar eunuchs standing outside the door. These two people came with the old prince, and their clothes were not of any class.
, but they didn’t look sideways, standing under the shade of the eaves.
When I saw him, the manager of the East Palace, it was as if I hadn't seen him at all. I just glanced at him slightly and coldly.
The bastard was suddenly frightened, and quickly returned to the hall, walked to Li Jinglong's side, turned his back to the door, and raised his palms.
Li Jinglong wondered, what does this mean?
Seeing that he was not moving, the bastard opened his mouth and his lips moved silently.
Li Jinglong looked at his lips, opened his mouth, and said silently, Lift... Lift... Lift?
The bastard nodded quickly in shame.
Li Jinglong raised his knees slightly, and with a swish, the cushion was quickly taken away by the bastard.
You... Li Jinglong was furious in his heart, but he didn't dare to speak. He could only kneel on the ground that was so hard that his bones hurt.
On the floor tiles.
~~~
On the third floor, the two men sat opposite each other by the window. Downstairs was a sea of flowers, with wine and food on the table.
A jar of 30-year-old Shaoxing yellow rice, dried shrimps mixed with cabbage, mushrooms, diced ham and egg custard, white-cut lamb head meat, and marinated duck feet.
Zhu Yunxi slowly poured wine for the old man. The old man picked up a chopstick of mutton head meat, dipped it in minced garlic, put it in his mouth, and ate it deliciously.
Grandpa Huang loves mutton! Zhu Yunxi said with a smile, you can’t get enough of this white-cut sheep head!
In fact, we like to eat donkey meat more! The old man said with a slow smile, but donkeys are also working animals, so eat as little as you can! As he said that, he paused slightly with his chopsticks, and besides, this mutton head meat, for us, don’t eat it.
Meaningful!
Zhu Yunxi smiled and said, is there a story in this? Grandpa Huang, tell it!
The old man put down his chopsticks, picked up the wine cup and took a sip. He seemed to be savoring the fragrance of Shaoxing yellow wine, and also seemed to be recalling that your grandmother and I had just gotten married.
People besieged Haozhou!
Zhu Yunxi knew this story. Jia Lu was the minister of the Ministry of Industry in the former Mongolian and Yuan dynasties, and the envoy of river operation. But he was also a good official. He led people to divert the Yellow River many times and cultivated fields to support the people. So far in Henan and Shandong, there are still
Two Jiaru rivers are named after him.
That was one hundred thousand people. They were all elite military households from the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty, coming in overwhelming numbers. At that time, Haozhou was your grandmother's adoptive father, and Guo Zixing was in charge. The old man said solemnly, there were only twenty or thirty thousand troops under his command, but the core ones could fight.
Yes, only one or two thousand people!
Zhu Yunxi continued to pour wine for the old man and listened silently.
The isolated city cannot be defended. We are leading outside the city. We led the army in two battles and lost many brothers. We had to retreat to the city. People in the city were panicked, thinking that the army would definitely break the city! The old man smiled bitterly. If Haozhou cannot be defended, no one will survive.
.So after we entered the city, we asked people to spread rumors. They said that they heard the officers and soldiers say with their own ears that they would massacre the city if they did not seal the city after breaking it!
In the war at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, everything the officers and soldiers passed was scorched earth. At that time, Xuzhou was not able to recover for thirty years even though the prime minister of the Yuan Dynasty was ordered to massacre the city.
In this way, not only the soldiers in the city risked their lives, but also the common people. Men, women, old and young all went into battle and finally blocked the imperial army! The old man continued, the officers and soldiers had no other choice, so they began to siege the city, and there were five people in one siege.
moon!
City! Speaking of this, the old man's hand shook slightly. There was no food, not even a grain. The rats had eaten all the food. In the end... the old man drank up the wine in his glass and started to eat.
people!
We saw with our own eyes that Tang He killed his concubine, cooked it and distributed it to his sons! The old man chewed the meat, and there seemed to be something flashing in his eyes. Everyone knew it was human flesh, but if he didn't eat it, he would die.
!No one wants to die!
Zhu Yunxi didn't know why the old man suddenly mentioned this story, but he felt uncomfortable.
Grandpa Huang, there is nothing we can do about it! Zhu Yunxi smiled and said, people in troubled times are not as good as peace dogs, and the world in that world is one where people cannibalize people!
Do you think we have eaten? The old man suddenly smiled and shook his head, "We have not eaten. We are related to the commander after all. Although we are not full, we are not going to eat people!"
As he said that, he smiled again, sighed and continued, "The Chinese New Year will soon be here. The officers and soldiers outside the city are still surrounding them, like iron barrels. They are killing pigs and sheep to make dumplings outside the city, and we will eat them in the city."
There is no place to find bran-pharyngeal vegetables!
We were anxious. Damn it, why should we good men and sons suffer this? The old man's face gradually became ferocious. That night, we had someone secretly open a hole in the city gate and take Tang He, Shao Rong, and Guo with us.
More than 300 Xing Guoying, Zheng brothers, and Wu brothers were killed!
We kicked three camps of the army and the army, snatched several large vehicles and ran away. I don’t know how many people came from the army in the middle of the night, but we were actually frightened!
Speaking of this, the old man became arrogant and his expression was full of arrogance.
When we returned to the city, we saw, damn it! There was really a lot of delicious food and drinks in the cart we snatched! We were so happy that we gave half of it to our brothers, and the remaining half was sent directly to the marshal’s house!
Didn't you keep it yourself? Zhu Yunxi asked.
The old man shook his head. The brothers followed us out to fight, and half of what we were given was missing. The commander-in-chief is our benefactor and father-in-law, so we have to give it to him during the Chinese New Year! As he said that, a trace of anger flashed in the old man's eyes.
, We and the Marshal are one family, so if we give him half, doesn’t it mean we keep half?
But the commander also scolded us, saying that Zhu Chongba just wanted to show off, and if the officers and soldiers chased him into the city, everyone would die without a burial place! The old man continued, scolding him, and he was scolded.
We couldn’t hold our heads up! We went home dejected!
We were also angry, thinking about who we were working so hard for, damn, we sent them food and drink, and he actually scolded us? How unreasonable!
A few days later, it was New Year's Eve, and your grandmother went to the handsome man's house early in the morning. The old man sighed, and then said, "Let's comfort the brothers in the military camp. The brothers are hungry, so hungry that their eyes are red."
.At noon, your grandmother came back with a sheep's head and said it was given by the commander.
We were so happy that we smashed the mutton and stewed a big pot of soup. The brothers drank it all and chewed the bones! The old man smiled and his eyes changed, but when we got home, we saw
Looking at your grandmother, eating chaff!
Bran is used to feed livestock! The old man’s eyes are red. It’s the Chinese New Year, so my daughter-in-law eats chaff!
Yes, there are many soldiers in the city, and many people can't even afford chaff. But that's our mother-in-law. I work for the commander-in-chief, helping him manage the army, helping him appease people's hearts, and helping him fight in wars. Besides, you
Grandma is his goddaughter, how can she celebrate the New Year? He is full of food, leaving your grandma to eat the chaff!
The old man gritted his teeth and we went angrily. When we arrived at the handsome man's house, his Guo family was eating white noodles!
We were angry at that time. People in the city are eating people. Brothers can't straighten their waists. Your goddaughter has eaten chaff. Why do you still have white flour in your family?
At that time, we didn’t think about anything, we just felt like our blood was rushing to Tian Ling Gai!
The old man continued to talk, brothers worked hard for the Guo family, and your family hid and ate white flour? Your own goddaughter came to the door, and after begging for a long time, you gave her a sheep head and a bag of chaff! As he said that, the old man laughed.
That sheep was snatched back by us who risked our lives to go out of the city that night!
Marshal Guo said that we will commit the crime below!
We all wanted to laugh at the time. We were originally rebels, so what the hell were we talking about?
Without so many people following you, are you just a feather?
Zhu Yunxi listened and said, no wonder his Guo family can't make a living, everyone is starving, and they hide and eat alone. Even if there is not much food, those who are celebrating the New Year should have all their close friends shouting, let's eat together!
We also think so. Whether it is an adopted daughter or a subordinate, he is an outsider after all. Even though he, Marshal Guo, is sitting in the city, he has already planned it. Once the city cannot be defended, he will take his family and his hands with him.
A hundred and ten hardcore elites, run!
The old man took another sip of wine and said, "Since then, we have also understood a truth. All kindness, love, and righteousness are all fake. Only blood relatives are real. Father, mother, parents, brothers and sisters, this is the truth."
Yes! When things are going well, Pi will give you small favors and sweet words, which will make you fall in love. But once disaster strikes, everyone only cares about themselves.
We also swore in our hearts that we would never be dependent on others or be spoiled by others again in this life! Otherwise, even if I die, my mother-in-law will not be able to live a good life. I will sacrifice life and death for others, in exchange for my own mother-in-law.
Chaff! In order to escape, people secretly raised war horses, which fed better than humans.
The next year, the commander-in-chief of the army, Jia Lu, died of illness in the army, and Haozhou was relieved from the siege! Let's take more than 20 brothers out of the city and work alone!
From then on, whenever there was a festival or something festive at home, this white-cut sheep head would be served!
I eat it not because I like it, but because I don’t want to forget the grievances and sufferings I suffered in the past!
After saying that, the two men sat opposite each other without speaking.
After a long time, the old man smiled and said it was far away!
Zhu Yunxi looked at the old man and held his big hand, "Grandpa, if you come today, you probably have something to say to your grandson!"
You kid, I can't hide anything from you! The old man laughed, we have something to say, but we don't know where to start, so we can only talk nonsense about old things from the past!
Do you know anything? Zhu Yunxi asked tentatively.
We get it! The old man nodded heavily, and then grinned with difficulty. You don’t have to worry about us. We came here in strong winds and waves. We haven’t seen anything in our lives, so we are not so easy to get angry! After saying that, he sighed, and then, we
In fact, I’ve thought about it!
When disaster strikes, they all fly away. Since ancient times, there has been no father or son in the royal family! The old man sighed sadly, tears flashing in the corners of his eyes.
A few days ago, we went to your father's grave and talked for a long time! The old man interrupted Zhu Yunxi, "All our lives, we have been soft to our own family. We always thought that the world is big and blood relatives are the greatest. But we have forgotten that most of our descendants are not
People who are filial only have eyes for themselves and no family!
Some things are more troublesome the more you are soft-hearted. Rather than causing trouble in the future, it is better to cut the mess quickly!
Zhu Yunxi thought quickly in his mind, what exactly does the old man know?
Is it the Alliance of Five Kings? Or is it Zhu Di’s small actions or other people’s small actions?
What is certain is that it is definitely not Lu’s old story!
Because if something like that really happened, and knowing that his eldest grandson and daughter-in-law were assassinated, no matter how strong the old man was, he wouldn't be able to stand it.
It's impossible that King Qin was poisoned to death! Otherwise, the old man wouldn't be so calm.
So what does the old man know?
~~~
I owe five, I know.
I haven't saved my manuscript now. I have been writing all day today and suddenly I got stuck. There is something in my mind but I just can't describe it.
Sorry, I owe another one, six in total.
I am guilty, but as the saying goes, if you love someone, you must be tolerant. I am shameless, shameless, and shameless. Please continue to love me.
