Chapter 121: Just Missing Home
Walking out of the Zichen Hall, the concubines who were originally guarding outside the hall had dispersed, and under the purple-gray sky, the door of the hall looked extraordinarily deserted.
In October in Kyoto, the weather has begun to turn cold, especially when Xiao Wei Xiao, the cool air is wet with mist, and it is very cold on the skin.
After taking the cape handed over by the bodyguard, the young man walked ahead.
Stepping on the gray light, the footsteps are calm and leisurely, not hurried or slow, and the momentum of the force has begun to show its strength.
After leaving the Zichen Palace for a long distance, someone caught up with the first few steps and stuck behind the boy, "My lord, the investigation has been completed, and there is no ambush on the road, do you want to go directly to the house?"
The boy nodded, "Yeah."
Suddenly, the corners of his eyes felt red.
The young man's face changed immediately, and he looked in that direction suddenly.
Under the gray-purple sky, the soaring fire tongue looked unusually abrupt and ferocious.
It seems to open a bloody mouth, waiting to engulf those who approach at any time and burn it into ashes.
Clenching his fists tightly, his nails slid into the flesh, the boy trembled all over, staring at the fire, unable to move.
Wei Zi was the closest person to him. Seeing the young man in this state, he hurriedly covered his eyes with his hands, "Inform someone to put out the fire! In addition, investigate thoroughly, what the hell is going on!"
After speaking, he quickly left with the stiff boy in his arms.
At the same time, I was extremely annoyed.
At this hour, at this place, the fire that suddenly appeared was absolutely impossible to be a coincidence.
As hidden guards, protecting the prince's safety, they avoided many ambush, and even protected the prince's way back to the palace.
I didn't expect that there would be an omission on this!
The prince is afraid of the fire. Only the people closest to him know this. How did the news leak out?
"...Check, the news of Xinghua Village may have leaked, if there is," the young man closed his eyes tightly, his face was as white as golden paper, and his voice was almost squeezed out of his throat, "Silence!"
"Yes!"
The fire in the palace was quickly put out. The fire was not big and caused no damage.
After a thorough investigation, there are no doubtful flaws. It was a little eunuch who was too careless when he woke up at night and knocked over the oil lamp. By the time he came back from the hut, the fire was already burning.
The little eunuch was punished for this. The matter seemed to be over, but the undercurrents hidden under the surface began to become more intense.
After being frightened in the palace, King Nanling suffered from a high fever, and it took two days for him to wake up.
The emperor was furious for this Longyan, and even the entire court and the public were frightened by it.
For fear that the lord would be frightened and have a fever, he would burn his head, so everyone has been clenching their tails for the past few days.
This kind of thing didn't happen.
When the King of Nanling just returned to Beijing, the emperor made a big move. Hundreds of people were tortured, officials were sacked, and even the top families in Beijing were implicated and fell into the quagmire from the clouds, and they were completely helpless.
The King of Nanling is the emperor's reverse scale.
This point, from the moment the prince returned to the capital, no one knew about it.
"What did you find out?" Nanling Palace, the boy was sitting on the head of the bed, his face still pale.
"Back to the lord, the news over there has not been leaked, but according to the news from Xuzhou, some people are secretly inquiring around the Xuzhou boundary, it seems that they want to find out what happened to the master."
The boy's frowning brows loosened a little, as long as the other side is safe and sound, he can calm down and plan.
"Since they want to know so much, send the news to them."
"What does your lord mean?"
"As long as someone believes a story that is made up, it is true."
Wei Zi was stunned for a moment, "Let's do it now!"
The lord plans to enclose the land.
Circle all the enemies in the battlefield he drew.
Life and death win or lose, all will be decided on this battlefield.
He did not allow the war to spread to Xinghua Village.
The young man raised his eyes and looked out the window.
It was a cloudy day in the capital, and it was gray outside the window, and no bright colors were seen.
And his line of sight penetrated the gray fog, and cast it far, far into the distance.
At the end of the distance, what is his little girl doing now?
Liu Yusheng was already sitting on the ox cart returning home, the sun was shining overhead, and the sky was just right.
"Finally going home." Liu Zhixia said this.
The family on the ox cart looked at each other in dismay, and then all pursed their lips and laughed lightly.
Indeed, the thought of being able to go home soon makes me feel extra relieved.
During the two days I stayed here, although there were no major conflicts, the atmosphere was a little depressed.
"I guess my grandparents must have waited for us under the ancient locust tree early in the morning."
"This is still a guess? It's definitely going to wait."
...
"I don't know if the second brother is back. He is closer to home."
"You'll know when you go back."
...
From time to time, the two children would catch up with a thoughtless remark, which had no special meaning, but was homesick.
From Liangshui Village to the town, the ox cart needs to be transferred to Xinghua Village to get home.
Originally, Liu Da wanted to give more money and have them send them directly to the house. As a result, he saw Mr. Liu wearing a straw hat sitting on an ox cart and looking in this direction frequently at the town entrance.
The old man is really, the pick-up action has been upgraded, instead of waiting for the village entrance, go directly to the town entrance to wait!
Liu Yusheng also saw the old man at a glance, he stood up with Liu Zhixia's shoulders, raised his little hand and waved it vigorously, shouting, "Grandpa! Grandpa! Seeing me, Grandpa!"
It attracted the attention of passers-by, and then, smiled knowingly.
"Ouch! My family is here!" Mr. Liu immediately burst into a smile and shouted nervously, "Sit down and sit down! Don't stand up, be careful to fall!"
When the ox cart stopped beside the old man, the old man immediately picked up Liu Yusheng, "I knew that you would definitely come back early and couldn't stay at home, so I simply borrowed the ox cart from the Li family to pick you up."
"Did Grandpa wait for a long time?" It was almost noon. If Grandpa came early, he would have to wait all morning.
"It didn't take long for me to sit here and chat with people, and the time passed in a while, hahaha!"
"Did you come out to eat breakfast? Are you hungry?"
"Eat, eat, your housekeeper is better than your grandma now, grandpa doesn't dare to foul." Pinching the baby's little face, the old man cheered, "Grandma made delicious food at home, just wait for us to go home for dinner , hurry up and bring things over, let's go home!"
The bullock cart went back on the road, slowly and steadily.
Liu Da moved to the front of the car to drive, and the old man sat behind with Liu Yusheng in his arms.
The rest of the way was full of Liu Yusheng's twittering like a little sparrow.
Listening to her grandfather's sometimes hearty laughter, she felt very happy and peaceful.
Beside her closest family, she couldn't help but want to talk.
I am so happy, and I want to convey that happiness to my family.
Let them all infect her happiness.
