Under the bright sunshine, sadness filled the crowds moving forward.
The formerly majestic and majestic Duke of Liang, Prince Shaobao, and Commander-in-Chief of the Beijing Camp, Lan Yu, no longer had the same respect as before. They were dressed in commoners and walked slowly with the crowd.
He has now been demoted to a commoner, and the huge Lan family has been dismissed. Only his family members are following him. These people are all dressed in commoners, and both men and women carry simple bags and walk on foot.
Surrounding the crowd, hundreds of armored soldiers were on horseback, ordered to take Lan Yu back to his hometown in Huaiyuan and hand him over to the custody of local officials.
There were faint sounds of crying in the team, which made people upset.
Don't cry! Lan Chun, Lan Yu's eldest son, scolded and left one life behind, which is a great blessing from God. Why are you crying? It's annoying to death!
Cry! Lan Yu sighed, they felt uncomfortable, and they could feel happy even if they cried twice!
Saying that, Lan Yu turned back sadly and looked back at the majestic Yingtian City Wall.
The last time he left the capital, he rushed to fight in the northwest frontier. At that time, he led the army to the expedition, and the emperor and the King of Wu personally saw him off at the top of the city. But this time, he was a sinner, being monitored and escorted like a prisoner.
Life is really unpredictable. Heroes and sinners are just a matter of God's will.
Later, Lan Yu touched the gauze on her neck and smiled bitterly.
At least, I am still alive!
Originally, his heart was full of hatred. He even thought about shouting to the sky that God was unfair when he was executed. But after he gained life, those hatreds were gone, leaving only sadness and helplessness.
Now, he really understands that sentence, it is better to live than die!
But only he himself knows that he still has so much reluctance hidden in his heart! Is this what he, Lan Yu, will be like in this life? In his heart, those dreams of riding horses and whips, like Huo Qianqi, to achieve unparalleled feats, came to an abrupt end.
?
who?
The escorting knight gave a loud shout.
Lan Yu looked up and saw a soft sedan slowly approaching on the official road ahead.
Beside the sedan, a man on horseback shouted, "It belongs to the founding father!"
Chang family members? The one riding the horse is his nephew, Chang Sen.
According to the holy order, the prisoners are escorted and the idlers disperse! Qianhu, the guard, shouted with a straight face.
You can do what you can! The sedan fell down, and Chang Sheng limped out, cursing, I just handed over the errand of the Beijing camp, and you, a dog, turned your face and refused to recognize me?
The Qianhu quickly dismounted and said with a smile, Mr. Chang, it’s not just a small thing that’s entrusting the big one, it’s really a very important thing!
I know! With the help of a servant, Chang Sheng stepped forward and said, I don't have any official position now, so why don't I send my uncle off? With a wink, his family handed him a bulging bundle.
This? That Qianhu feels hot to the touch.
Some scattered silver coins, brothers took them to drink on the road! Chang Sheng smiled and said, take it! Look at how brave you are, who can chop your head off for this little money? Then he added, there is still trouble on the road.
Brothers, take care of one and two, Chang Er thanks you here!
Seeing him bowing and saluting, Qianhu didn't dare to accept it. He turned away and said, "What did the second master say?" He hesitated for a while, "Second master, if you want to talk to him, I won't stop you. After all, it's the law of nature and humanity."
But there are so many people and so many eyes, so don’t make it difficult for small things to happen!
I know! Chang Sheng smiled, and when you return to Beijing, come to my house for a drink!
After saying that, with the support of his family, he walked to Lan Yu.
Uncle! The Chang family brothers bow down and your nephew is here to see you off!
As long as you have the intention, people shouldn't come! Lan Yu said in a deep voice, after being found out, he started talking again! Saying that, look at Chang Sheng, what's wrong with you?
Yesterday at the court, the emperor asked about the defense of the capital. My nephew gave an inappropriate answer. He was beaten thirty times and stripped of his official position. Now he is idle at home! Chang Sheng smiled nonchalantly.
Haha! You have eaten the trick that opened the city gate! Lan Yu said with a smile, hit him lightly!
If His Highness Taisun hadn't intervened, half his life would have been lost on the spot! Chang Sheng said with a smile.
He was the one who opened the city gate for Zhu Yunxi to return to the city. No matter what, this matter could not be justified to the old man. The old man lightly hit him a few times and let him go, even if it made him have a long memory. Secretly, he was already burning incense.
Opening the city gate privately is a serious crime. He is the uncle of the emperor's grandson. For anyone else, beating him to death would be a minor crime.
Third Master, benevolent, you two will help you well! Lan Yu sighed, looked back at the city head again, and said sadly, originally thinking that after serving the late prince for a lifetime, receiving great favors, and being an in-law, he would have the strength to do so in the future.
, I sold it to the Third Master, who knew... Hey!
Uncle, keep the green mountains here... Chang Sen said half a sentence, then he kept silent when he saw someone around him.
This is a little money, uncle keeps it! Chang Sheng waved his hand again, and the servant gave him a few bags.
Well, I am worried that I will have no money to spend in the future!? Lan Yu smiled and said, farming? Damn it, I have been fighting all my life, and I want to dig people's heads with a hoe, how can I farm?
The gold here was sent by Marquis Dingyuan and Marquis Jingchuan! They wanted to come, but I stopped them and didn't let them send too much. It's enough for you to live on! Chang Sheng whispered.
Lan Yu patted the heavy baggage, nodded and said, thank these old brothers for me!
At this moment, smoke and dust suddenly rose in front, and dozens of cavalrymen swarmed over.
When Qianhu, the escorting guard, saw the flag, he quickly shouted, "Get off your horse and kneel down!"
Third Master......!Lanyu's face was moved, is he here?
It was the troops from the East Palace who came, and the first one was Fu Rang, the son of Fu Youde.
Fu Rang reined in his horse, jumped down, and walked directly to Lan Yu without looking at anyone else. Liang...Uncle Lan, Your Highness asked me to come and see you!
With that said, he said to the thousands of households guarding the army, the emperor's grandson ordered to reward five blue jade horses and two carriages for transportation! What do you have to say?
How could those Qianhu dare to speak? Not only did they have nothing to say, but they solemnly handed over their hands. I am also a member of the military. Although I have a high rank, my grandson is benevolent and righteous. Even if someone talks too much afterwards, I will shoulder the responsibility!
Well! Fu Rang nodded, thank you!
Later, Fu Rang faced Lan Yu and Uncle Lan. There was gold and silver in the carriage, which was rewarded by His Highness. It is enough for your family to chew grain!
Thank you, Your Highness! Lan Yu handed over, Lan Yu has nothing to repay...
His Highness said, the days are long! Fu Rang said in a low voice.
Just as Lan Yu's eyes flashed with hope, Fu Rang solemnly bowed down. While in prison, Uncle Lan said that he would never betray his friends and brothers. Before coming, my father and Song Guogong asked their nephew to kowtow to Uncle Lan.
After saying that, he kowtowed a few times.
He is the son of Duke Ying. If the Lan Jade case involves his Fu family...
Mr. Lan just doesn’t want to be ashamed of his conscience! Lan Yudao, if it were your father and others, the same thing would happen!
Fu Rang stood up and whispered again, Uncle Lan, look towards the mountain over there!
Lan Yu turned her head and was stunned for a moment.
On the hillside in the distance, he saw a man on a horse constantly waving to him.
Third Master!
Lan Yu's eyes were red, she knelt on the ground, choked with sobs and cried loudly, "Third Master, I will go first!"
Third Master! Everyone in the Lan family cried and bowed down.
On the hillside, Zhu Yunxi wiped his eyes, turned the horse's head, and left!
Seeing it, Zhu Yunxi's figure walked away and disappeared.
Lan Yu stood up, rubbed her eyes, and said to everyone, let's go! Then, with her head held high, she walked in front of the team.
The Lan family's team set off again, and this time there was a heroic and desolate song in the team.
That year, one hundred thousand soldiers and horses came out of Jade Pass......
~~~~
Jinyiwei, the governor of Fusi, the imperial edict.
Jiang Wei was curled up in the corner of the cell like a dead dog.
Suddenly, there was a sound of iron chains, Jiang Wei raised his head, and what caught his eye was a pair of bright yellow boots.
Your Highness? Jiang Wei raised his head, climbed to the fence like a dog, and cried loudly, Your Highness, spare your life! Your Highness, spare your life! I have a secret and important matter to report!
The guards brought a stool to Zhu Yunxi. After he sat down, he looked at Jiang Yu coldly. Is the confidential matter you mentioned the same thing as Gu thinks?
Yes, yes! Jiang Gu kowtows like he is pounding garlic, and I can’t help myself. Someone is instigating me behind my back!
Get out! Zhu Yunxi waved, leaving only Fu Rang. He leaned forward slightly and said to Jiang Yu, tell the truth, I will kill you alone! Otherwise...
