The short-lived ghost of the Xie family has lived a long life

Chapter 819 Duties
Raise troops?

baby?

The Zheng family?

Protect?

These keywords are connected together, and the truth of the matter has obviously come out.

If I had to use one word to describe the atmosphere in the room at this moment, it would be fear.

Little Mr. Pei knocked over the tea cup: One of the twins is the child of the first prince?

Huang Qi's eyelids twitched: No wonder he lied about being a ghost fetus?

Ding Yi was so shocked that he covered his mouth: No wonder he was detained in Haitang Courtyard?
Zhu Qing's face turned pale: The real reason why the Zheng family was silenced was because they were harboring the orphan of the late prince?

The first prince! ! !

Li Buyan stared at Yan Sanhe, half shocked and half confused; half happy and half worried.

Yan Sanhe looked back at her, completely motionless, acting as if he was stunned to the point of being stunned.

In the corner, Xie Zhifei looked at the expressions on everyone's faces, his eyes flashing.

He thought of a question——

Why would grandfather do such a dangerous thing?

What kind of favor did he owe the first prince?
In silence and horror, Lu Da spoke.

"Actually, when I heard the news, I felt happy because without this baby, Zhang Tianxing would not have survived."

Tian Xing was able to receive this task because Xiao Ze was the go-between. Firstly, Tianxing was trustworthy; secondly, he was selfish and wanted to leave a chance for his brother.

Xiao Ze's last words to Tian Xing were:
"Protect this child well; from now on, you will drink my wine for me."

He and Tian Xing drank Xiao Ze's wine separately, so that both of them were drunk.

This was the first time they got drunk in their lives, and they discovered that being drunk was not only uncomfortable physically but also mentally. Not only could they not vomit, but they could not cry either.

What are you crying for?

Crying about their ill-fated master?

Crying about their good brothers who are in hell?
Or should we cry about this damn fate and impermanent life?
No, not at all.

They just thought of themselves, a little hozen hiding in a big tree. When the tree fell, the hozen also dispersed.

The world only saw the big tree, how many people could see the invisible little hozen?

The promised meeting continues, year after year, year after year.

He told Tianxing about Master Lu’s lofty ambitions;

Tian Xing described the young master's appearance to him, saying that the young master looked exactly like him, with very similar features;
It is said that the little master is smart, he can learn anything at once, and he can master it at a glance, but he is a little weak.

"Lu Da."

Yan Sanhe suddenly said: "Where are the hiding places of ordinary secret guards?"

Lu Da: "On the roof, on the trees, in the grass, in the corners...anywhere you can hide."

Yan Sanhe: "During the day and coming out at night?"

Lu Da: "It lies day and night."

Yan Sanhe: "Four seasons throughout the year?"

Lu Da nodded: "There are four seasons throughout the year."

Yan Sanhe: "Don't you hide from the wind and rain?"

Lu Da: "Don't hide from the wind and rain."

Yan Sanhe lowered his eyes and was silent for a long time, "Go on."

Lu Da: "December 26, the seventh year of Yonghe, was the last time Tianxing and I drank. That year, General Zheng went on an expedition against the Tartars. Tianxing told me some things about the general."

Before the expedition, the general met Tian Xing in a restaurant.

Tian Xing said that the general rarely saw him, and would only treat him to a drink in a restaurant before going on an expedition.

In eight years, they never drank more than once.

What I drank that day was Tusu wine, which was very light.After three glasses of wine, the old general took out a sealed letter from his arms as before. He didn't need to open it to know that the content of the letter was "just in case."

In this world, there are no walls that are airtight, and there are no secrets that remain underwater forever.

The old general had been guarding against this day, so he wrote down all his plans in the "just in case" future.

Tian Xing just needs to follow the arrangements in the letter and do it step by step.

If there was no "in case", Tian Xing would have burned the letter after the old general came back and pretended that it didn't happen.

This is the tacit secret of the two.

It seems that everything is foreshadowed.

That day, when Tian Xing took the letter, he glanced at the gray hair of the old general and said something unprecedented:
"General, please take care of yourself."

The old general smiled disapprovingly.

"Brother Tianxing, don't worry. This battle is the last battle in my life. When I get back, I will ask for my resignation from Your Majesty. I am too old to fight this battle. It is time to retire."

Tianxing raised his glass: "Then I will wait for the general to return in triumph."

The old general laughed and drank it happily.

Tian Xing said that when he sent the general away, he felt very unhappy. There were so many generals in the court, why did a white-haired man have to be sent to fight?

Lu Da recalled: "After drinking with Tianxing that day, we didn't rush back, but went to the market for a walk."

New Year's Eve is four days away, and the markets are very lively.

As the two walked, they invariably recalled the scene of celebrating the New Year inside the high wall.

The New Year's Eve dinner is when everyone gets together to eat. On this day, Coach Liu allows them to drink, as long as they are not drunk, it doesn't matter.

After drinking and making trouble, everyone went back to their rooms to watch the New Year.

During the New Year's Eve, the three of them would huddle on Xiao Ze's kang, playing and making noise, and then sleep under the quilt as the last one.

"I was so happy at that time - these were the last words Zhang Tianxing left for me."

Lu Da lowered his head, sighed softly, and then continued to recall.

"I wonder if God deliberately arranged it. When something happened to the Zheng family that year, Mr. Lu and I were not in the capital, investigating a corruption case in the western border.

After I got the news, I still felt a little lucky.

The letter from General Zheng was for emergency use. With Tianxing's skill, he should be able to escape.

On December 26th, I prepared wine and food and waited in the house early.

Unexpectedly, from dusk to dawn, no one was waiting for Tianxing.

I fell ill when I returned to the Lu Mansion. Mr. Lu asked a doctor for me. Not only did the illness not heal, but it got worse. Only then did Mr. Lu realize that his loyal servant was suffering from a heart disease.

He asked me, what happened?

I thought that since both the elder and the younger were dead, there was nothing to hide, so I told him everything about Zhang Tianxing and the young master of Haitang Courtyard.

After listening to this, Mr. Lu was silent for a long time and said to me, everyone has his own destiny. In his destiny, when he will be born and when he will die, there is a certain number. You can't force it.

This sentence cured my illness. "

Lu Da was silent for a while and then said:

"After eight years of Yonghe, every December 26th, I would go to the house to have a drink alone. Tianxing never showed up. Slowly, I gave up completely."

"Lu Da."

Little Master Pei suddenly interrupted, "Is the child a boy or a girl?"

Lu Da said slowly: "Girl."

Mr. Pei's eyes suddenly widened, "This year?"

Lu Da: "."

Little Master Pei's heart skipped a beat: "Are you really here to protect Yan Sanhe on Master Lu's order?"

Lu Da looked at Yan Sanhe and said in a heartfelt tone:
"In addition to Master Lu's orders, it is also my duty to protect Miss Yan."
