The candlelight is dim, flickering on and off. (Cathedral)
The chief elder of the Miao village, who was sitting across from him, was comforting the holy aunt while scolding Lu Heng for going back on his word.
After talking for a while, the great elder let out a long sigh, raised his wrinkled eyelids, and secretly looked at the saint aunt. After seeing the saint aunt's miserable expression and shedding tears, he sighed and said: "Sheng aunt, actually, having said that,
, Men sometimes have no control over what they do. Just like what Lu Heng did, it was indeed a great contribution to the country and the court. Hey, it’s just that we, Su Yan, are pitiful! This bastard!"
Although it sounds like he is gnashing his teeth and wishing to eat his flesh and drink his blood, no matter how he sounds, it doesn't taste like that.
Although the last sentence, bastard, was said by the elder through gritted teeth. But after listening carefully, I felt that it was still meant to excuse Lu Heng.
In particular, the great elder's blinking eyes looked like he had a guilty conscience.
Bai Suyan clutched her handkerchief, wept bitterly, and sobbed.
After persuading the great elder for a while, he saw that the holy aunt was still very sad. He stood up suddenly, walked around in circles twice with his hands behind his back, then suddenly stopped, turned his head, and said to the holy aunt eagerly: "Sheng aunt, you
Don't be sad. Otherwise, uncle, I will kill that kid right now!"
Bai Suyan heard the sound and exclaimed: "No!"
Seeing the great elder i's sly smile, Bai Suyan raised her hand to wipe away the tears on her cheeks, and whispered: "You can't beat Agui!"
The treacherous smile on the elder's face froze on his face. The corners of his mouth twitched and he sat on the chair angrily.
He picked up the already cold tea and took a sip. He choked and coughed repeatedly.
"What should we do?" the elder asked unwillingly: "Bullying our holy aunt is bullying our Miao village, and is bullying our Miao family. How can we, the Miao family, be bullied? Besides, Agui is Miao.
I don’t believe it, he is really going after that kid Lu Heng!”
Bai Suyan raised her head and looked at the menacing elder. ("")
Seeing the elder's beard trembling with anger, he was sitting there, cursing and drooling. Suddenly, he couldn't help but burst into laughter.
The great elder was stunned.
I'm sorry you're not angry. Old man, I'm just going to eat carrots and worry about it for now.
Bai Suyan smiled, but her tears fell uncontrollably.
He said miserably: "It's not that they think he has gone back on his word, but..."
"But what?" The great elder's eyes lit up and he asked eagerly: "Say it, and uncle will make the decision for you!"
Bai Suyan snorted and said angrily: "It's his group of wives and concubines!"
Hearing this, the great elder was stunned for a long time, then suddenly clapped his thigh and laughed loudly: "What am I talking about? It turns out this is it, hahaha, this is the custom of the Han people, you are wearing no makeup, what are you doing?
Lu Heng has been wronged... uh, cough!"
The great elder smiled happily, but he didn't notice that the saint's face turned as cold as ice.
After laughing for a long time, the great elder suddenly felt two cold eyes piercing his heart.
When he raised his head, he saw the angry white face of the holy aunt. The elder coughed quickly, followed the holy aunt's words, nodded and reprimanded: "What a bullshit custom, it is really unreasonable. Well, it is unreasonable!"
After talking for a long time, the great elder didn't even know what he was talking about.
However, although he was scolding Lu Heng in his mouth, in his heart, the elder was still very grateful and even admired the saint aunt for being such a good friend.
A few years ago, he came to Miao Village once.
That time, he solved the problem of Qingcheng Road for the Miao family. Moreover, he gave the Miao family the same status as the Han people. Doing business, studying, and being an official. These good things that originally only appeared in dreams have become a reality in a few years.
reality.
Nowadays, there are several young people in the great elder's village who have gained fame in the Spring Palace and have become lords in the eyes of the Han people. The latest chapter of the Holy Church
Moreover, when Lu Heng left, he left a thick five-year economic development plan for the Miao Village. This included integrating the specialties and craftsmanship of the Miao Village to implement large-scale operations and expand the market.
Now, three years have just passed. Compared with before, the life of the Miao family has undergone earth-shaking changes.
In addition to being able to have enough to eat, the Miao people also had spare money on hand. They were able to marry off their daughters and buy new silverware.
Looking at the full granaries in the village and the joy on the faces of the Miao people.
The First Elder, who had been poor all his life, was filled with emotion. Lu Heng had brought all this!
He is a noble man of the Miao people.
How can you make me hate you!
As for what the holy aunt said, Lu Heng had many wives and concubines.
Well, the great elder felt unhappy too, really unhappy.
After muttering curses for a while, the elder took a secret look at Saint Aunt and defended Lu Heng in a low voice: "Ahem, well, Lu Heng is indeed not good at this. But Saint Aunt, Lu Heng
No matter how many women there are, they can't compare to the emperor in the Jinluan Palace! I heard that in the Forbidden City, apart from the eunuchs, the only ones left are the emperor's women. My dear mother, there are so many people, more than the entire population of Bai Miao!"
Bai Suyan stared at the First Elder angrily. How could she not hear that the First Elder was trying to excuse Lu Heng? After staring at the First Elder and playing petty for a while, Bai Suyan moved her body.
Because I sit for a long time, my legs and feet will inevitably feel a little sore and numb.
With this movement, Bai Suyan almost fell to the ground due to the difficulty in her legs and feet.
After finally holding the edge of the bed with her hands to steady her body, Bai Suyan exclaimed angrily: "He is not the emperor!"
After the great elder heard this, he did not immediately refute. Instead, he took a deep look at the holy aunt, lowered his head and squinted his eyes, looking at the bean-like candlelight on the table. He was silent for a moment and said in a deep voice: "Now
No, but in the future...it’s hard to say!”
Bai Suyan was startled, and her face turned a little pale. She quickly jumped out of bed and closed the doors and windows. Her beautiful eyes were full of orders, and she sternly reprimanded: "Uncle, what are you talking about? You know that such words are spread
How dangerous will Lu Heng be after he gets out?"
Seeing that the holy aunt turned pale with fright at these words, how could the elder, who has become a mature man, not know that the holy aunt is no longer angry because of Lu Heng?
But, as for who belongs to the country...hehe
After hesitating for a moment, the great elder lowered his head and sighed. He raised his head, looked at Bai Suyan apologetically, and said with a wry smile: "Holy aunt, there is actually something that uncle has never asked anyone to tell you!"
"What's the matter?" Seeing the guilty look on the Great Elder's face, Bai Suyan couldn't help but panic. The Great Elder had an extraordinary status in the Presbyterian Church. He was also a calm man. In general, whether good or bad, he was almost indifferent to sex. But now...
…
Bai Suyan's face turned pale. She sat down and looked at the elder absentmindedly. She asked in a trembling tone, "Is it true? Did something happen to Lu Heng?"
Seeing that the saint's face turned pale with fright, the elder waved his hands quickly and said anxiously: "No, it's not what you think. Lu Heng is fine, he is in Chengdu now, he is fine!
Bai Suyan breathed a long sigh of relief, but the lingering fear still came over her. Out of fear, Bai Suyan actually started crying.
"Holy aunt, hey, it's all uncle's fault! It's uncle's fault!" The elder was in a hurry and apologized quickly.
Bai Suyan raised her hand to wipe away the tears on her cheeks, shook her head and said softly: "It's okay if it's okay, it's okay if it's okay!"
After stabilizing for a moment, until the worry in her heart was suppressed, Bai Suyan raised her head, looked at the Great Elder, and asked lightly: "First Elder, what are you talking about, and what are you hiding from me?"
Seeing the saint aunt stabilized, her majestic temperament was revealed inadvertently.
The Great Elder quickly stood up, bowed his hands and bowed, and said respectfully: "It's like this. Years ago, the King of Shu in Tokyo had a coup. Holy Aunt, you know about this!"
Bai Suyan nodded and said calmly: "Yes, later, elder, you said that it was Nanying who went to Beijing to quell the rebellion, and that stabilized the situation! That's right!"
The great elder bent even lower and apologized in his heart: "Yes, that's what the old man said at that time. However, Holy Aunt, in fact, the truth of the matter is not like that!"
The saint's beautiful eyes grew colder. She took a sip of tea and then stared at the great elder and asked, "Then what is the truth?"
The great elder bent over and stood in front of the holy aunt. He swallowed a mouthful of saliva and whispered: "Actually, it was Nanying who went to Beijing to quell the rebellion. But it was Lu Heng who led Nanying to Beijing to quell the rebellion!"
The holy aunt frowned, and a look of confusion flashed in her beautiful eyes: "If I remember correctly, Lu Heng should have been in the northern Turks at that time. How could he suddenly appear in Tokyo?"
The elder shook his head: "The old man doesn't know about this either. However, I think it was Zhang Wenshan from Beijing who sent a letter asking for help to Lu Heng!"
Shenggu shook her head and waved her hands: "Let's not mention this matter for now. What happened after Lu Heng came to Beijing?"
The great elder sighed softly and smiled bitterly: "Lu Heng found the emperor who was under house arrest from the underground palace of the Shu Palace. However, at that time, the emperor saw that Lu Heng was able to mobilize the 50,000 elite Nanying troops in the capital without a scepter.
The queen became suspicious of Lu Heng. At that time, after the emperor took control of Nanying, he almost killed Lu Heng on the spot. If the Minister of Punishment hadn't kidnapped the emperor at that time, I'm afraid..."
The Great Elder did not say the last sentence. But when the matter came to this point, everyone knew what the Great Elder was worried about.
If it weren't for Hong Quan, Lu Heng might really have died in the underworld that day!
"That's unreasonable!" After hearing this, Bai Suyan's face turned as cold as ice. She patted the table and stood up. Her beautiful eyes were filled with a cold and stern look, and she said angrily: "Repaying kindness with hatred, is this the attitude of the Zhou Dynasty towards its heroes?"
With a soft drink, the temperature in the room suddenly dropped a lot.
The great elder felt awe-inspiring and stood there with his head lowered, not daring to say a word.
Bai Suyan stood on the ground with a cold face, clenching her fists and squinting her eyes, wondering what she was thinking.
After a while, until the atmosphere in the room became so depressed that the elder found it difficult to breathe. Bai Suyan finally calmed down. She turned her head, looked at the elder and said, "What happened next?"
With one sentence, the solemn atmosphere in the room was completely dispersed.
