Chapter 121 This Life
The accompanying Beiyanwei gathered in the hall to make tea, waiting for the wine and dishes in the kitchen.
Rong Yu took a cup of silver ears to find He Lan, and it took him a long time to put on his clothes to answer the door. The light in the room jumped, and the figure of Luo Tuo was projected on the rice paper behind the straight frame. Moved back little by little and gradually shrank into a pale and horrible silhouette.
The official road when it came was relatively cold. There were fewer people walking, and the post station was rarely maintained. Under the years of disrepair, the walls of brick columns and adobe are slightly tilted, squeezing the door frame, so the switch will emit a terrible volume. The groan of dragging the board makes the tooth groove sour, like a barren mountain village shop, which adds a strange and unpredictable taste.
After washing, He Lan shaved, changed her clean clothes, and looked like a smooth face. He leaned against the door and smiled, "Is the general coming? Do you think it's time for me?"
Rong and take a look at him. He is a smart man and has long expected the overall situation.
He gave way, "General, please."
Rong and stepped into the room and looked around. There are mats on the high platform in the south, and the middle side is a little shorter. Several times with an oil lamp, the wick is not high, and the light is not very good. He put the lid in his hand there, "Are you hungry? Eat something first."
He Lan shook over and did not thank or excuse himself. He sat down cross-legged and said, "Be a full ghost even if you die." He scooped a spoon and put it in his mouth. "The stew is quite tasty, but it's not sweet enough."
Rong Yu looked at his face under the lamp, tanned a lot, his cheekbones protruding, and his eyebrows drooped. In the pale yellow halo, the eyelashes are as fragile as white moth wings, resting on the thin cheeks.
It is inevitable that people who used to have unlimited scenery will end up like this today. He turned his face and sighed, "The people who make friends with you in the court have been sent to Lingnan."
He had a pause in his hand, "I implicated them." He put the spoon on the tray and slowly wiped his mouth with a towel. "Actually, I don't have any real friends. The queen is nothing more than taking the opportunity to clean up the political enemies. It's terrible for a woman to have such a deep mind. Soon, the world should be surnamed Wu.
rong yu does not say whether it is possible. In recent years, the saint's head disease has become more and more serious. The queen is familiar with hosting the government, and it is a forma to be full of hands. During the holidays, it is easy to turn the world around.
He Lan smiled bitterly, "Poor Hong, I'm afraid he will seize the world with his mother in the future." He stretched out his hand to him and said, "Where is the decree? Let me read it."
Rong Yu threw the sheepskin roll to him, and he stared at the four words for a long time. One finger compared with the word "liao" and said in a strange tone, "At the beginning, Chu Suiliang also used this metaphor. At least I was her nephew. It's too nostalgic to say so."
He Lanmin is still calculating the words on the secret purpose of killing at the end of his death. He Lanmin is the first person to open the world. Rong Yu was not surprised. He took back the sheepskin roll and stuffed it into his waist seal and said lightly, "I miss your kindness to Nuannur. If I kill you, she will hate me. I didn't debate whether it was right or wrong before. Going forward is Leizhou, and the Assassin of Leizhou intervened in the trouble. I won't move you. Run for your life while it's dark! Find a place to hide your name and live a good life. Don't live up to Your Highness's deep affection for you.
He Lan unexpectedly raised her eyes, "You are disobeying the edict. If the matter is exposed, even you will be implicated." He smiled and said, "Also, the queen wants to check the physical evidence. Where can you find my beautiful ears?" He pointed to his right ear, "There are two moles in my auricle, one in the light and the other in the dark. Can you find the same one to replace?"
Rong Yu squeezed his mouth and said for a long time, "Don't worry about this, just take care of yourself. It was full of my own soldiers outside. They only said that you ran away, and they were sure to be tacit.
Hearing this, He Lan sighed, "It's a great pity in life that I didn't make you a friend!"
Rong Yu glanced at him and said, "If you make a friend like me, you will really die."
He laughed and said, "That's it! If you are my friend, you should be on the way to Lingnan now, and no one will give up to save me. After a pause, he said, "You brought a word to Hong for me, saying that Miss Yang ruined her innocence, but I didn't do it. I have a clear conscience about him."
Rong Yu suddenly felt that he was pitiful and hateful, and let others be violent, thousands of times more vicious than himself!
"You are so selfish!" He said with contempt.
He Lan raised the corners of his mouth sarcastically, "You are not selfish, so you tease the feelings of the two women? I tell you, there is no unselfish love in the world. If you can travel between two women, it means that you don't love either of them. General Shen, treat the warmth with your heart! She is difficult, harder than you think.
He was poked to the pain and became impatient. Turning around and saying, "There is an unremoved horse in the stable in the backyard, and I have prepared a coil to hang on the rudle for you. You find a chance to go out of the back window. Don't look back. Get on the horse and go straight south.
He Lan looked at him in a daze, with something dark hidden in his eyes, because his eyes were so haggard that he became more and more like a deep well that could not see the bottom.
He stopped and said as he walked, "I'm eating now. It's raining heavily outside, and I can't hear the horses' hoofs running clearly. Get ready, let's go!"
He walked along the corridor to the corner of the room, crossed his waist and looked up to the sky and exhaled the dark night. He has done everything he should and should not have done, and then only looked at himself. There is no need for luck under his jurisdiction, and those vice generals must have heard it or not. Now as long as he thinks about where to escape, the farther the better. Such a face is too eye-catching. It's better to go outside and let go of hatred and ambition. He still has decades to live.
He stepped into the hall, and both tables stood up when they saw him. He pressed his hand and said, "Don't stop chopsticks. You've worked hard all the way. Take a good rest today and wait until the rain stops."
Zhonglang said to Feng He, "I don't know how long this rain will last. As soon as the sun comes out, it will be deadly hot."
"The weather in Lingnan is indeed different from Chang'an, and the stamina is enough." Everyone seconded it.
Two Yicheng served the dishes on a lacquer plate and answered, "Lingnan is still hot after the Mid-Autumn Festival. A few days ago, seven or eight court buyers passed by here to change horses and opened boxes to see melons and fruits. More than half of them were broken. I had no choice but to put it all down..." He gave the dishes attentively, and then served wine to Rong Yu. He said, "I'm in a hurry to turn back and do it again. It is said that His Royal Highness will be used for the wedding banquet, and it can't be less.
Rong Yuqi said, "Isn't Your Highness's wedding banquet cancelled?"
The little bearded Yicheng said, "I heard that the crown princess has been replaced. She is the wife of Pei Xingjian's hometown. Six gifts were given to the house, and they got married as soon as they were released. The generals didn't know that the city was celebrated with lights.
Rong and Fang remembered that the prince Li Hong said, "I went to Yang and Pei." It's certain that someone fills the vacancy, but I didn't expect it to be so fast. He can't say anything in his heart. There is nothing but to regret for He Lan. One life for a princess, but how many lives does he have?
A meal ended in the relaxed ridiculation of the vice generals. Everyone kept silent about He Lan, as if they didn't want the Yicheng here to hear it. Or it is rare to be loose to avoid creating a crampy atmosphere.
Rong Yu thought to himself that he should have gone far now! If you go far away, the sky will be high and the birds will fly away from the source of pain. Maybe everything will be comfortable.
He stroked the folds of his knees and got up, and the torrential rain outside hit the bluestone board, which was noisy. His heart is heavy, and now it's time to think about how to solve the problem of that ear. Queen Wu is indeed different from ordinary women. Every time she kills a secret murder, she has to bear witness. It's not for the maids around to inspect it, but to look at it in person. So there is a rumor in the middle of the court that you should be more careful when you pay close attention to your ears later that day. Tianhou has a lot of research on human ears! So it's not easy to muddle through.
He was a little sad. Feng He, who went out to see the horse, extinguished his umbrella and came in with shock on his face. Rong Yuzhi said that he found that he had lost his horse, but he said dumbly, "Big Governor, He Lanmin has committed suicide!"
His mind exploded, "What?"
Lang generals who talked and laughed beside each other looked at each other. Feng He swallowed his saliva and said, "In the pavilion next to the stable, he unloaded the rein and begheed himself."
"Dead?" His heart kept sinking and ran out in a hurry.
The thunder rumbled in the sky, and the rain hit my eyes, making my eyes astringent. Feng He has put the person down and lay on the ground so straight. A flash of lightning penetrated half of the sky and illuminated He Lan's pale face. He asked the examiner, and the vice general sniffed and frowned.
He went forward and took his pulse without any ups and downs. Maybe it's been a while, and my body is stiff. Rong Yu's shoulders collapsed, and his heart suddenly cooled to his heels.
Why did you die? Obviously, if you reach the horse, you can escape with a wave of the whip. It's only one step away! Man is not as good as God. Maybe he heard the news of the prince's wedding as usual. He was frustrated and no longer had the courage to live.
The corners of his mouth drooped. Although he was used to life and death, he also looked at it lightly, but He Lan's colorful life disappeared so completely, which was really shocking. He still remembers the way he stood under the palace wall and smiled, but now he has become a cold body, and he is a little at a loss.
He couldn't bear to look at it again and asked, "Is there a funeral shop nearby?"
Several Yicheng were as dull as wooden chickens, and they came to their senses after listening to his question. The upper and lower teeth are wrong, and they click loudly. Bow and bow, "The general... the general's words, the most recent one is also... 20 miles away."
"Go..." He was speechless and said slowly, "If you want the best coffin and the funeral ceremony, you can't miss it."
Yi Cheng took the order, and the two vice generals understood the meaning of the governor and dismantled the door panel to lift people to stop the spirit. Rong Yu personally took an umbrella for him, escorted him to the post hall, and watched them move a stool and lay a row. He could only sigh.
Feng He came over and whispered, "At this point, there is no room for a turn. I know that the governor is not feeling well, but the overall situation is important.
His intention is self-evident, which is the problem of that ear. At present, the person is dead, and all the problems have been solved. However, Rong and he couldn't get up quickly. Feng He mentioned this now, which made him extremely disgusted. He said angrily, "Let's talk about it in the long.
Feng He ventured, "People die like lights, and everything before death is dust after death. The governor is the emperor's order, and the Duke of the country is certainly understandable.
"Stop it!" He scolded and pointed to the people parked there, "Are you seeking skin from the tiger in front of him?"
Feng He is silent, and it is indeed not appropriate to discuss this matter at this time. Han people have always paid attention to the burial of whole bodies, and they can't be reincarnated anywhere without it. He thought for a moment and tentatively said, "There is an alternative in our village. Mark it down to find a piece of wood and carve it into the shape of an ear."
Wood ears... You will be deaf in your next life! He closed his eyes weakly, and it seemed that this was the only way!
"Go find it and give it to me. I'll carve it myself." He turned his back and his eyes turned red.
