Chapter 276 Looking at My Hometown (20)
Wu Yi's body has returned to the vigor of his youth, the skin on his face is as rough as his expression, and he looks more than ten years older than his actual age.That night he was wearing a chestnut-colored velvet gown with two thin belts on the left cuff.He pulled away the thin straps, and pulled the inner and outer cuffs to the bottom, revealing a bare amputated limb, "Does it look scary? Compared with my later experience, losing a hand is like tickling. It's nothing There are a lot of things to say. In short, I have crossed many barriers and finally took root in Xiangxi. Now I can say that I am a "grandfather". This is a long way to say it. Ten years ago, in order to cut off the power of the foreign relatives and the royal family, the regent Wang once abolished the Second Xianglu Army in a big way. Some hereditary military households, although they had a few acres of Susukida when they were dismissed, were used to getting a mouthful of military rations, and they didn't want to make a living as a farmer. They were all armed and aggressive, so they hit it off. Zhanshan became the king. They originally hated the regent, and after hearing my confession, they took me in. Not long after, I managed to kill their leader and became the new king."

Wu Yi smiled, but he couldn't find a trace of joy in that smile, just like he couldn't squeeze any sweetness out of a bitter gourd. , simply went directly to Beijing to find out the truth, and now it seems that nine times out of ten, the rumors can come true. But who doesn't know that the regent is just to block the mouths of the world and let the young emperor be a puppet, that's all. The emperor and the empress dowagers are orphans and widows with weak foundations. How can they fight with his hands and eyes? But no matter what, since the regent has released his own words and lifted the house arrest in the palace, it is a golden opportunity. Once he If any accident occurs, the emperor will be able to take charge of the family. Teacher, you are the most trusted person of the Empress Dowager Nishinomiya, so please tell the Empress Dowager: 'It is easy to hide a spear in the open, but it is difficult to guard against an arrow in the dark.'”

Qiao Yunze's hand caressed the white jade belt buckle on his waist. The finer the jade, the more rough he felt his fingers. "Master Yi, are you really willing to give it a try?"

Wu Yi still smiled, "It's not me, it's us. The regent has always been good at doing things in a modest way, but since he met my father back then, he never dared to be careless. I wanted to get close to him through the heavy security guards alone, and it was almost self-defeating, but dozens or hundreds of people may not have no chance of winning against a team of guards. This time, I brought all the brothers out Now, they have long been tired of life in the green forest, not because they are forced to die, who is willing to be a turtle in a place where the birds don't shit, and spend their whole life by looting houses?"

"Although they regard the regent as an enemy, they may not regard death as home. If someone is timid and leaks the secret, the consequences will be dire."

"I just told them that there was a nobleman in Beijing who wanted to get rid of his enemy, and he did it for him. He will wash his hands for the rest of his life. I will only act when the regent is in casual clothes. Before I really do it, my brothers will not I will know who the target is, and once I do it, there will be no time to regret it. After I succeed, I will settle the rest by myself. After all, they are not my brothers, and an assassination is always an assassination, and the law cannot be passed on to others."

"Then how should this honored person be rewarded?"

"If the matter is successful, I hope the queen mother will order to withdraw the arrest of me and reward me with a future. If the matter fails, I will only die for my father's behest, and I will never blame others."

Qiao Yun finally nodded slowly, "I will tell the queen mother. How can I contact you after I get the answer?"

Wu Yi chirped a few words, and then said: "Just send the letter there, no signature is required, I can read the teacher's handwriting."

One day in early September, an unsigned letter was silently placed at a certain address.A few days later, Qiao Yun and Wu Yi stood together among the burning tents on the wasteland.

Wu Yi extended Qiao Yun into the tent, the shadows of the two were reflected on the tent, and their voices were drowned out by the wild wind outside the tent.Until a long, long time later, a sudden burst of laughter broke the silence of the wind.

Inside the tent, there is a small clay stove and a jug of spirits.

With his only right hand, Wu Yi held a large porcelain wine bowl, squinting deeply, "The Empress Dowager Xi is afraid that the news will leak out, so she must not use the army, but why does she trust us, a mob?"

Qiao Yun rolled the tip of her tongue, like a man licking his lover's soft lips, licking away the layer of floating wine on his own lips, "Because she believes in me, and I believe in you."

Wu Yi laughed loudly, put down the bowl, and poked his neck forward, "Teacher, I only have one last question, how many people did the Prince Regent bring this time?"

Qiao Yun also smiled and raised a palm, "Five, three of them are men—no, two and a half."

"really?"

"really."

"Teacher, do you know how many people I have?"

"how much do you have?"

Wu Yi stretched out two fingers, "A total of two hundred, all of them are bandits who were born in the army and are now killing people without blinking an eye."

The two looked at each other with their cups in their hands, and as they watched, all the wine in their hands was poured out.They laughed and laughed until they shed tears.Their parents, their women, their children, including themselves, have all been unjustly killed by the same enemy, and now is the time for justice to come.

The wind perched on the top of the tent, in order to escape the stern laughter, made a somersault and returned to the endless wandering.

After mile after mile of darkness and desolation, there was a wide open window, and the wind directly kissed the face of the woman standing facing the window.The many icy and piercing wind kisses made Xi He calm down, and she caught the wind, letting every word she spoke be blown back to her ears again.

"More than ten years ago, I left the capital alone from Longfu Temple to save him. I tried to save him. More than ten years later, I did the same trick again, just to get rid of him. It's really unpredictable."

There was a sigh from behind her shoulder, and Yu Tea leaned over and closed the window, "Master, don't stand in the wind, and be careful of catching cold."

The wind that was shut out of the window had no choice but to linger and scream again, looking for another window with candles flickering under the ruined ancient Great Wall.

By the candle at the bottom of the window, Qingtian embraced Qi She tightly, buried himself in his chest and rubbed, "I don't know what's wrong, I'm very flustered."

"Don't worry, after tomorrow, everything will be fine." Qi She wiped Qing Tian's face that was disturbed by hair, and hugged her lightly.

He stretched her body loosely, and then put his own body inside.Qingtian lay across in front of him, and kissed him with the tip of her tongue, Qi She moved down her right hand that was wrapping around her lower abdomen, her fingertips pressed the core of a flower, a woman's exposed heart.Qingtian gradually became relaxed and devoted, and then became active and hungry, demanding wildly and urgently.Time and time again, Qi She pushes her, and herself, to the climax of the finale layer by layer.When the climax comes, it is the ultimate cruelty and the beauty of convulsions[9].

The dew star is dim, and it is hidden.The two bodies that were motionless, overlapped and stiff were revived bit by bit.The light was turned on again, as if the death had never happened before, hugging each other to keep warm, Yan Yan laughed and talked.The wind whirling around outside the window finally couldn't stand the bedside whispers of ordinary men and women, and danced back.

The wind blows off the last autumn butterfly on the empty branch.The moon of this night rose above everyone, and there was no reason for grievances, and the joys and sorrows were shared.

12.
At the end of the night, the clouds bloom, and the red sun rises in the east, facing the four seas of Kyushu, pouring down the autumn of thousands of dendrobiums in a rich and colorful way.

This day is the Double Ninth Festival, but the weather is surprisingly good, neither wind nor rain.In the Forbidden City in Beijing, the celebration kicked off.Minister Wang Jue and Han Zhan Kedao rubbed shoulders and entered Donghua Gate, each in order of rank, kneeling three times and kowtowing nine times under the praises of the Ministry of Rites and Honglu Temple.Unlike previous years, Uncle Prince Regent did not appear in front of the celebration queue, while Emperor Qi Hong, who hadn't shown up for a long time, sat on the golden platform.The young emperor looked extraordinarily high-spirited, maybe it was because he recovered from his illness, or because he didn't have his uncle who was as tall as a god as a comparison.In the next series of rituals, such as giving tea, giving lunch, giving wine, giving Wenqi treasures, and giving a seat to listen to the opera, etc., Qi Hong was a little rusty and nervous at first, but after a while, he was able to handle things freely, and he did everything he could. the dignity of a king.He marked the number of plays on the list of plays that came in, so there were festive plays, axe-plays, lively martial arts plays, singing plays, love plays, clown jokes... singing and dancing until Shenchu.Then, another dinner party.Qi Hong sat alone at the Golden Dragon table, eating healthy and talking, laughing constantly, and giving rewards to the actors.

The princes and ministers in the audience were not on the stage at all, but each was reading a big play off the stage: the regent king who had supervised the country for nearly [-] years was not present, and the queen mothers of the two palaces who once listened to the government were not present. Does Hong's one-man show mean that he has got rid of the shackles and will truly enter the political arena?Then, it means another round of blessings and misfortunes in the power field, life and death ups and downs.The more they thought about it, the more people felt that Tianchu's delicacies were like eating wax, and they could only sit and sit uneasy, watching a huge blood-colored setting sun put away its last light on the top of the red wall.

After dusk and before nightfall, the sky takes on a dark blue color, covering the city within the city and surrounding the mountains beyond the mountains hundreds of miles away.Among the endless mountains, walking in the mountains, one peak is unique, and the scenery is clear.The regent also began to have fun at the Xingyuan Zhang Banquet early in the morning. In the pavilion with pines and waves, the actors sang and sang, throwing their sleeves around, and throwing them constantly.
