Chang Anqing

Chapter 268
It is night, the moon and stars are rare.

At the end of the avenue in front of Taiwei's Mansion, there was a faint sound of iron hooves "Tap, tap, tap—" and the young man guarding the door followed him, and then looked at Yang Chongyuan who had calmed down all the turmoil today. Under the protection of a group of personal guards, they are coming slowly on horseback, as if they are carrying thousands of miles of heavy clouds behind them.

At this moment, the servants already knew about today's earth-shaking changes, and immediately shivered, bowing down in humility to the extreme, waiting for Yang Chongyuan's arrival.

The cold sound of horseshoes stepping on the stone bricks, each sound was ethereal and eerie, falling on the hearts of everyone present.

Until the horse stopped in front of the door, and before the guards came to pull the reins, Yang Chongyuan turned over and fell to the ground. His majestic figure was hidden in the darkness by a black cloak. lonely shadow.

Skipping over the servants in front of the door, and crossing the short walls with tile eaves, he saw the burning sky inside and outside the mansion. Almost instantly, a silent pain swept towards him again, making him feel a dull pain in his heart, as if A sharp hammer was beating relentlessly.

The next moment, Yang Chongyuan's fists were clenched tightly, covered with bloodshot eyes, but his extremely tired eyes were still frightened towards the door for a long time, and walked in step by step.On the way to the mourning hall, every servant I encountered was dressed in sackcloth, and they stopped in place tremblingly and bowed, not even daring to breathe.

Because they knew very well what the death of Dalang Yang Jin meant.

The night wind blew the black cloak into the air. Even though the armor had been replaced, the lingering smell of blood could still be smelled from the wind.

When we reached the courtyard gate outside the mourning hall, weeping voices were already lingering in our ears, and when Yang Chongyuan handed over his sword to his guards, accompanied by Yang Che, and walked towards the mourning hall, the crying became louder and louder. The shroud came, and it was like a knife cutting one's heart.

"Jiner, Jiner, my Jiner—"

As soon as he climbed up the steps, Yang Chongyuan saw the gorgeous and heavy golden nanmu coffin quietly parked in the mourning hall. Among the crowd of mourners, the concubines and concubines of Dalang Yang Jin all knelt on the ground, bowed their heads She couldn't stop wiping her tears, but Cao Shi who was standing in front of her was crying heartbroken. With the support of her maid, she couldn't stand still. look.

Hearing the call, Yang Chongyuan looked at the coffin in front of him, thinking that he had been taught by him since he was a child, and that his eldest son, who had been as brave as him all his life, had great ambitions, and Erlang, who had devoted all his expectations and fatherly love, to him. Lying there alone like this, I can no longer call him Aye, can no longer fight side by side with him, and can no longer see this stretch of mountains and rivers.

Such piercing pain almost made him suffocate unbearably.

"Aye—"

When he stepped across the threshold, he didn't know whether it was because of the fatigue of the past few days, or because of the grief after hearing the bad news, he didn't pay attention for a while, and his feet tripped lightly, and almost at the same time, he supported him with both hands with concern Then he looked, and Sanlang Yang Che's worried expression was imprinted in his pupils.

However, the next moment, Yang Che, who was close at hand, could clearly notice that his father brushed his hand away indifferently, and walked in step by step, as if he had forgotten him.

But at the same time, standing in front of the mourning hall, Li Xunsheng, who was supported by Baoying, turned his head, and it was the first time to see him, the pillow man who called the wind and rain, showing such a sad and embarrassed appearance.

For a moment, she could vaguely see the indescribable decay hidden on that murderous and majestic face.

And against the background of Erlang beside her, and against the background of Saburo behind him, that kind of decline is almost irreversible.

Because that is destiny.

It is not humanly possible.

While weeping, everyone turned to pay respects to the coming Yang Chongyuan. Only Li Shi, as his wife, could stand upright among the crowd and stand side by side with Yang Chongyuan.

The moment his eyes met, Yang Chongyuan looked at the seemingly easy-going but arrogance-filled figure between his bowed heads, just like before, even in front of him, he never backed down a bit.

Husband is the guide for wife, she seems to have never seen it——

The color of his eyes remained the same, his expression remained unchanged, but Yang Chongyuan's heart was much harder and more indifferent.

In the quiet wind, Yang Chongyuan walked in calmly, until he passed Li Shi with heavy steps, walked to the front of the coffin, quietly helped the coffin, and looked at Yang Jin, who was already well-groomed and peaceful inside, but there was a smile in his eyes. It was so hot that he couldn't help lowering his eyes.

Because he knew very well what kind of bone-cutting pain he had experienced behind this tranquility.

When Chang Huan sent Da Lang to him, he saw with his own eyes the countless sword wounds and eight arrow wounds, which had already dyed Da Lang's armor red, turning it into a shocking blood coat.

Da Lang is the child who most resembles him among the many sons and daughters, and the child who makes him the most proud.

But God took it away, but it happened to be this son——

In a brief memory, looking at Cao who passed out from crying, Yang Chongyuan moved his gaze away from Yang Jin, and said with a rare tenderness of Aiwujiwu: "Send Madam back."

After all, seeing Mrs. Cao being carefully supported by the maidservant, Yang Chongyuan also turned around and walked to Mrs. Li, without looking at Mrs. Li, he just said to his daughter-in-law Baoying who was supporting her, "Da Lang's funeral will be handed over to you." Here you go, these days have been hard."

Hearing this, Baoying, who was in charge of the funeral ceremony, never thought about it, and said virtuously and filially: "The elder brother is a hero who put down the rebel army outside, and the good brother of many brothers and sisters in the Yu family. Eldest brother walked this last journey alone."

After finishing speaking, Baoying also raised her head, and said in a warm voice, "My condolences to Aye and Auntie.

Hearing these words, Yang Chongyuan nodded silently, then looked at Li Shi and said, "Since the children are in charge of this matter, don't be too tired and take care of yourself."

Mrs. Li nodded slightly when she heard the words, and then said comfortingly: "These days, you will inevitably be busy in the court, and I will take care of the family affairs, so you can rest assured, there is nothing more than working hard, and your body will be exhausted."

After finishing speaking, Mrs. Li asked her confidant Chen Zhong on the side several times, and then looked remindingly at Yang Yan and Yang Che, who looked sad, and said, "You should share more for Aye on weekdays."

Hearing the two sons' responses, Yang Chongyuan's expression remained unchanged, he just patted Li Shi's hand lightly, and led Chen Zhong out.

The moment they passed by, Li turned around, her eyes fell on the coffin, and she calmly withdrew the right hand that was caressed by Yang Chongyuan. A desire that is no longer hidden.

When he left the mourning hall and walked out of the courtyard, Yang Chongyuan saw a black shadow standing silently waiting at the end.

When he walked over slowly, the person under the shadow came out, but he was dressed as a secret guard.

"Taiwei, after the subordinates went to the surroundings of the teaching ground to investigate, they found that there were only 27 corpses in the direction where the feather arrows were shot, all of them died of knife wounds, wearing the armor of Habayashi Guards, and there were Habayashi Guards on their bodies. identity token."

After all, the dark guard raised his eyes cautiously and said: "The subordinates have compared it, and the people who died are indeed Habayashi guards."

The moment the words fell, Yang Chongyuan's eyes were suddenly gloomy and terrifying, and his fists were already tightly clenched.

Even his hidden guards couldn't find any clues.

"Back off, there is no need to check any more."

Under the indifferent words, Yang Chongyuan, accompanied by Chen Zhong, walked slowly towards the study.

Although everything is in a hurry today, but after so many years of training on the battlefield, his power of insight has never been missed.

If those people on Gaogang were really the Habayashi guards arranged by Shangguanji, they should have fired arrows at random from the beginning, wishing to kill him immediately.Instead of being the first to shoot the arrow, it seemed to be aimed at him, but it happened to brush Da Lang's cheek, which made him alert.

Habayashi guards are not ordinary soldiers, but are specially placed in the north of the palace city where the emperor lives, as a brave general guarding the emperor.

Their archery skills would not be so perfunctory, even in a critical situation.

So there is only one answer,
Those people deliberately alerted Da Lang, because they knew that Da Lang would protect him with his life when he learned of the danger.

So those people, those arrows were not aimed at him at all, but at Da Lang.

Looking at the whole Dazhou, there is only one person who has the ability, purpose, and can know the opportunity of his battle with Shangguanji——

Thinking of this, the backlog of anger gathered in Yang Chongyuan's throat and chest, but he could only clenched his fists and suppressed it for a short time.

But now he has no evidence, and he can't easily move her.

Because behind her, apart from the Li family, there are also Zhao Yi and the entire Xuanjia army.

At this moment, Yang Chongyuan looked up at the twinkling stars in the night, and the gloom in his eyes was like dense rain, lingering.

When night fell, Li Shi, who had removed the hairpin, silently put on her makeup in front of the mirror. In the silence, Yinniang came in and whispered into her ear quietly and worriedly: "The Taiwei sent secret guards to investigate today. not found."

Hearing the sound, Li Shi's lips were indifferent, but sullenness was hidden in his eyes.

"useless."

If they hadn't been worried about hurting Yang Chongyuan, tied their hands and feet, and changed the plan on their own initiative, they wouldn't have made him suspicious.

Having slept with Yang Chongyuan for half her life, she knew his suspicions and suspicions, as well as his keen insight, so she could come up with such a perfect plan.

Unexpectedly, it was destroyed in the hands of those useless people.

"All dead?"

Hearing Li Shi's cold inquiry, Yinniang nodded quickly, and at this moment, the sullenness in Li Shi's eyes barely eased a bit.

There is no proof of death, no matter how suspicious he is, he can't detect half of it.

She still has these confidences.

Looking at himself in the mirror with his face up to the sky, Li Shi's lips gradually curled up a bit, seemingly as dignified as before, but unknowingly impregnated with bottomless plots and calculations.

Even Yinniang at the side can see that the lady in front of her is no longer the former Mrs. Taiwei, because now her valley is no longer just a small Taiwei's mansion in front of her.
