The original war ended, and Hongnong County gradually returned to normal. Pedestrians began to travel on the official road. Three days after the war ended, a ox cart drove up on the official road south of Hongnong County, and several burly knights were guarding the ox cart.
Both sides.5
The ox cart was wide and walked slowly on the official road, walking very smoothly. At this time, a girl's thin face was revealed in the car window. She was very thin and her neck was so thin that she could hold it with one hand, but she
Her eyes were extremely flexible and full of spirit. She turned her eyes around and looked at both sides, and asked the coachman in a sharp voice: "Old Man Liu, is Hongnong County here?"
The coachman was an old man in his sixties. He squinted his eyes and was as leisurely as he was about to fall asleep. He reacted very slowly and after a while, he said, "It's almost there, there are still one or two miles."
A young knight who was guarding the ox cart next to him couldn't help but smile and said, "Miss Yu'er, can't you stretch out your head and look?"
The girl looked slightly and immediately saw a corner of the county wall. It turned out that the county was already in front of them. She blushed slightly, glanced at the young guard, and shrank her head back and whispered: "Princess, Hongnong County has arrived."
A girl was sitting in the ox cart, wearing a white dress, wearing a veil and a gauze scarf, about twelve or twelve years old, with a slender figure. Although she was not old, she had a pretty face and was unparalleled.
Perhaps because of her hard work, her face was very pale without a trace of blood. Her body leaned lightly against the wall of the car, her eyes were deep, and there was always a trace of sadness that could not be dissipated in the depths of her eyes.
She is Yang Guang's youngest daughter, Princess Danyang Yang Fangxin. After she was rescued by Shen Guang in Jiangdu Palace, she was sent to Danyang County to hide. When the situation subsided, she took a boat to take the Yangtze River waterway to detour north, and then got off in Xiangyang and took a seat.
The ox cart walked north along Xiangyang Road. After more than a month, it finally arrived in Hongnong County today.
Her ultimate destination was to go to Taiyuan Prefecture, which was the last territory of the Great Sui Dynasty. At this time, Yang Fangxin was still immersed in the endless pain of her father being forced to commit suicide. This was a spiritual trauma that would never heal in her life.
She was originally an innocent, carefree and innocent girl who was raised by her father, but the fate of the country and the family were destroyed and the fate of her father and mother had separated made her grow up overnight. She became very silent.
, never said a word to the guard.
The little maid beside Yang Fangxin is her close-fitting little palace maid Yu'er, who has been following her. She is lively and smart. She is familiar with the guards along the way and always tries to make the princess happy, but she
No success.
"Princess."
Yu'er lifted a crack in the back of the ox cart. She peeked out and said in a low voice: "I heard from them in the morning that General Yang is in Hongnong County. If the princess doesn't want to go to Taiyuan, it's still time to escape now.
.”
Yang Fangxin sighed softly, "Where can you go if you don't go to Taiyuan?"
"You can go to Luoyang!"
‘Luoyang?’ Yang Fangxin smiled bitterly at the corner of her mouth, shook her head, and said nothing. Yu'er was a little anxious and pulled her on her wrist and said, "Princess, are you going?"
"You jumped out of the ox cart and ran twenty steps to show me."
Yu'er was stunned for a moment. After a while, she muttered, "I don't want to leave."
"Since you don't want to leave, what are you saying?" Yang Fangxin glanced at her and asked lightly.
Yu'er noticed that the princess was a little unhappy in her tone. She felt aggrieved and whispered: "I thought the princess wanted to leave, so I came up with an idea. I was kind."
Yang Fangxin held her hand and said softly: "I know you have a kind heart. It's just... I don't want to go to Luoyang either."
Yu'er suddenly became happy, "It turns out that the princess wants to go to Taiyuan."
"I don't want to go to Taiyuan either."
Yang Fangxin sighed softly, "I don't know where I want to go? Maybe I want to go back to Jiangdu, build a small room in front of my father's grave, and live there. I will accompany my father all my life so that he will no longer be lonely."
Speaking of this, Yang Fangxin covered her face with her hands, and tears poured out from her fingers.
At this moment, the ox cart suddenly stopped, and the voices of several guards came from outside the car, "See the general manager!"
Then the voice of a young man, "Is Your Highness the Princess in the ox cart?"
"Report to the Chief Executive, Your Highness the Princess is in the ox cart."
"Very good. I have worked hard all the way, and I will have a great reward."
In the ox cart, Yu'er became a little excited. She heard that this was Yang Yuanqing's voice. When Yang Yuan was saving her in the city, the voice left her with a deep impression.
"Princess, it's General Yang!"
"I know it's him."
Yang Fangxin wiped away her tears, her voice was still dull. Although Yang Yuanqing defeated the Turks in Yanmen last year to save her from humiliation, and this time she sent someone to rescue her from Jiangdu Palace, her father once told her with tears in his eyes.
She, Yang Yuanqing, was a thief from the Sui Dynasty. Her father's sorrow and this thief's words left her a deep memory, which made her feel grateful to Yang Yuanqing and hatred for him.
Extremely conflicted in my heart.
At this time, Yang Yuanqing's voice came from outside the carriage, "My minister Yang Yuanqing will meet with His Royal Highness the Princess!"
Yang Fangxin remained silent. Seeing that she did not respond, Yu'er shook her arm in a hurry, "Princess, General Yang is talking to you!"
Yang Fangxin lowered the veil on the veil and covered her face. She opened the curtain and saw a young man of 27 or 28 years old standing in front of her, wearing purple gold.
Helmet, tall and burly, has a high nose bridge, clear angular lips, and sharp eyes, as if he could see through the veil covering her face.
When Yang Fangxin was five years old, she was taken to Yang Yuanqing's mansion to see him, but she had forgotten. Later, she saw him again at the head of Yanmen County. That time, she was far apart, and she couldn't see him clearly. She remembered Yang Yuanqing
He is very tall, but his maid Yu'er praised him as rare in heaven and nothing in the world.
Yang Fangxin smiled faintly and said, "Mr. Yang has worked hard for the state affairs, thank you for your hard work."
She was rigorously educated since childhood, and every word she said must be consistent with her identity. Although she was young, she could be calm and behave generously and well-behaved.
Yang Yuanqing received an advance report from the escort guards. Princess Danyang had arrived. He came out of the city to greet him. In Yang Yuanqing's memory, Yang Fangxin was still the little princess who was five years old. Seven or eight years passed.
I've grown up, probably thirteen years old.
Yang Yuanqing bowed and said guiltily: "I failed to save the emperor's life. This is the incompetence of being a minister, and I am extremely guilty."
Yang Yuanqing's words aroused Yang Fangxin's sadness. Her long eyelashes drooped, and crystal tears oozed out of the corners of her eyes. Her voice was choked and said, "That's the evil of Yu Wenji. The general manager is far away in Taiyuan. Even if he has a heart to protect him, it is difficult to take care of it.
The general manager’s fault, please don’t blame yourself.” Ren’s responsibility and sorrow made him feel a little pity in his heart, and he said to her softly: “Your Highness the Princess worked hard all the way, have a good rest today, and go back to Taiyuan with me tomorrow morning,
There are your loved ones there.”
Yang Fangxin nodded silently. She could feel Yang Yuanqing's concern and a hint of gratitude surged in her heart. "Thank you, General Manager Yang, for your care, Danyang is very grateful."
Yang Yuanqing ordered someone to send Yang Fangxin to the backyard of the county yard in the county to rest, and ordered his personal soldiers to be martial law around the courtyard where she lives, and no contact with her was allowed. At this time, Yang Shidao went to Taiyuan two days ago to go to the political affairs first.
After a group of prime ministers contacted him, Yang Yuanqing had proposed to appoint him as Na Yan.
Yang Yuanqing returned to the camp outside the city. As soon as he entered the camp gate, a personal soldier came forward to report: "Report to the general manager, someone in the tent is waiting for reception, saying that he is the general manager's tribe member."
‘Clanmen?’
Yang Yuanqing pondered for a moment and realized that it must be someone from the Hongnong Yang family. He stayed in Hongnong for a few days, but he had not contacted the Yang family. Instead, he avoided them intentionally or unintentionally. He is now
He does not want to recognize his ancestors, he prefers to keep his identity in a vague state.
"What's the name of the person coming?"
Personal soldiers reported: "Two people came, one of them seemed to be named Yang Yi, and the other one didn't know."
This name sounds familiar. He thought about it carefully. It seemed that Yang Wei had said that this person is currently the highest-ranking person in the Hongnong Yang family, and is also the uncle of his grandfather Yang Su. He rarely appears in the Yang family.
Since the Yang clan members have arrived, Yang Yuanqing decided to meet him.
"Take them to the side tent to meet me."
The Yang family of Hongnong is known as one of the three major gentry clans in Guanxi, and is as famous as the Li family of Longxi and Wei family of Jingzhao. Over the years, the Yang family of Hongnong has been divided into dozens of houses, with thousands of people.
Each room has its own head and ancestral hall, and Yang Su is only the largest one. Qiuyang She, every three years, the heads and elders of each house of the Yang family come to the main ancestral hall to hold a grand ceremony.
In the ninth year of Daye, Yang Xuangan rebelled, and Yang Guang only ordered the execution of several Yang clan members who led Yang Xuangan, and the rest of the tribesmen were not affected.
Two Yang clan members who are currently sitting in the side tent waiting for Yang Yuanqing, one of whom is Yang Yi, is the father of Yang Su. He is about eighty years old and has gray hair, but he is very energetic and his thinking is still quick. He and Yang
Su is a member of the Yifang tribe. In terms of generation, he should be Yang Yuanqing's great-grandfather.
Another person is Yang Wenjin, who is the head of the largest Songyang house in the Yang family of Hongnong. After Yang Su's first house declined, Songyang house became the leader of the Yang family of Hongnong. Yang Wenjin replaced Yang Xuangan as the chief priest of the main ancestral hall.
.
Both of them sat in the tent and remained silent. They had already agreed on what they should say. Now they were waiting for Yang Yuanqing's statement. This is also one of their main purpose of visiting Yang Yuanqing today. I hope Yang Yuanqing can admit that he is the Yang family of Hongnong.
Children, after all, Yang Yuanqing finally sent Yang Xuangan's body back to the tomb of the Yang clan of Honghua.
"General Yang is here!"
The soldiers outside the tent shouted loudly, and the curtain was raised. Yang Yuanqing walked in quickly and said with a smile: "I'm sorry, the business is busy, so I've been waiting for you for a long time."
His tone was very polite, just like when receiving the prominent gentry of Hongnong County, Yang Yi and Yang Wenjin looked at each other. Both of them could not hide the disappointment in their eyes. They knew the result without talking about it. Yang Yuanqing would not admit that he would not admit that he
It was Hongnong Yang's family, and they would not accept their invitation to visit the General Ancestral Hall.
