004 Farewell

Along the way, Xiaoxing stayed overnight, and nothing special happened, but He Xuan has been living outside the fortress since she can remember. This is the first time she has left the prairie. Whenever she sees something new, she is always surprised.

Although Tao Yizhi was thinking about General Li and was eager, he saw that she was so happy and did not urge her too much. The master and apprentice walked like this until they arrived in Kyoto this day.

Tao Yizhigang and Li Hexuan entered the southwest gate of Kyoto and saw many people on the street rushing in the same direction. Look at their appearance and it seems that something big has happened.

Tao Yizhi is a person who is a little lonely and doesn't like to be lively. In addition, he has been unable to let go of General Li, so he doesn't want to join in this excitement. When he was thinking about pulling Hexuan to find an inn first, and then inquire about the general's recent situation, he saw that Hexuan had stopped a passer-by.

"Uncle, what's going on? Why is everyone going in that direction? Is there anything beautiful and lively?" Hexuan asked a series of questions curiously.

"Listen to the accent, the little brother is not a local!" The passer-by said.

"Hmm. I just arrived in Kyoto and saw this scene. Uncle, what the hell happened? He Xuan asked.

"Have you just entered the city? Then you are in a hurry! I'm in my thirties, and it's the first time I've seen such a big official beheaded!"

Hearing this sentence, Tao Yi was shocked. He walked a few steps to Hexuan and passers-by and hurriedly asked, "What kind of official is going to be be beheaded?"

"Yo, I can't explain it clearly. I also heard what others said, as if... it seems to be a general." With that, the passer-by stretched out his neck and looked in the direction of the court, and then said, "But I won't tell you. If you're late, you can't see anything far away." With that, passers-by also hurried to the court.

As soon as the passerby said this, Tao Yizhi felt that the blood in his body rushed to his mind. He pulled up Hexuan and said, "Let's not go to see it. Let's find an inn first.

"But the man said it was not easy to catch up, and they all went to see it. Master, let's go, too."

"Hexuan, be obedient!" Tao Yizhi frowned and said, "The place of killing is too angry. You, a child, shouldn't go to see that kind of thing!"

"No. I want to see it." He Xuan pouted coquettishly and said.

Tao Yizhi clenched his fist tightly and thought to himself: Do you want to go?

In fact, it's not just the child who is curious. I also want to know whether the person who was beheaded will be a general.

It has been nearly a month since the general left. Before I left, I had ordered that if there was a letter from the general, 600 miles would be delivered to me as soon as possible, but so far there has been no letter. According to his worries when he left, I'm afraid it's... Let her go and have a look. If not, it's naturally better to find a reason to take her away; but if it's true... it's all good for her to see her father for the last time...

Thinking of this, Tao Yizhi said to Hexuan, "Okay. We can go to see it. However, I have conditions."

"What's the condition, Master?"

"No matter who you see or what happens in a moment, you are not allowed to cry or talk. Do you understand?"

At this time, Hexuan only wanted to see the bustle, but nodded completely ignoring the master's expression, holding the horse in one hand and Tao Yizhi in the other hand and walking quickly in the direction of the Dharma field with the crowd.

When they arrived at the court, it was already full of onlookers. However, the prisoner who seemed to be executed had not been taken in custody, and everyone looked in the direction of the prison.

Tao Yizhi pulled Hexuan and stood in the crowd. Hexuan was short and could not see anything clearly. She kept pulling the master forward. As soon as she squeezed in front of the people, she untied the prisoner's chariot and the prisoner, and the escort officers and soldiers also came to the magic field from the north-south road.

When Hexuan saw clearly who was standing in the prison car and wearing a white prison suit, she stood there stupidly. Just now, the expressions full of expectation, curiosity, and even a little surprise froze on my face at this moment. I was stunned that I didn't know whether to take them back...

How can it be! How could that person be a father?

She slowly turned around and looked blankly at the master to make sure that she was wrong, or that the man was just too similar to her father...

Tao Yizhi looked at Hexuan, just shook his head and whispered, "Don't cry or talk. Look at your father more."

He Xuan nodded and widened her eyes. She just looked at her father standing in the prison car. She didn't cry or shout. She didn't seem to see anyone else except her father, and there was no sound around her in her ears. The crowd followed the prison car to the center of the magic field, leaving only the master and apprentice stood in place. Unmoved.

Li Wanling was taken to the guillose. He only heard the prisoner take out the judgment document and read aloud: "I am a prisoner of Li Wanling. I have been bathed in holy grace for a long time and do not want to be loyal to the king and patriotism. There is no edict to return to Beijing without permission, and the intention is wrong. Gu Nian once did his best for the country and ruled..."

Just as the prison officer was reciting the document, the sound of horses' hoofs came from behind the crowd.

Two teenagers of the same age as He Xuan came to the court on two tall horses, followed by several attendants, who were also riding horses. When people heard the sound of horses' hoofs, they turned sideways. The two young masters and their attendants turned over and dismounted and led the horses to the center.

This horse team sped past He Xuan and Tao Yizhi. If Tao Yizhi hadn't pulled He Xuan, she would have been standing in the middle of the road.

The separated crowd made Li Wanling, who was kneeling in the middle, suddenly appear in front of Hexuan's eyes again, and Li Wanling also saw Tao Yizhi and his daughter. His originally calm mood suddenly became complicated, and the seven-foot man almost cried in front of everyone. He deliberately turned his head to one side, ignoring the existence of He Xuan.

When the two teenagers passed by Hexuan, the jade-faced teenager looked at Hexuan carefully. After getting off the horse, he turned around and looked at He Xuan several times. In this way, he fell behind the bronze-skinned teenager. He turned around, took a few steps and caught up with him. He wanted to say something to the teenager walking in front of him. What, but I put up with it again.

After they passed by, they only heard someone whispering in the crowd.

"Isn't the one walking in front of you the son of Lord Zuo Junzhong?"

"Yes. Why did he come here? I heard that the person to be beheaded today was caught by Lord Zuo? What is his son doing here?

"Cat crying mouse!"

"I heard that they are still friends! He is from the same hometown. He grew up together. One by one after, he won the literary champion and the other won the martial arts champion..."

"Bah... bullshit friend. For the black yarn on his head, these officials can even sell their own mother, not to mention their friends!"

"Yes. These officials don't have a good thing. They just want to know how to drill..."

"Shh... don't talk about state affairs, don't talk about state affairs... just watch the fun!"

He Xuan couldn't hear the voice behind her at all. She silently took Tao Yizhi's hand and whispered, "Master, let's go." Tao Yizhi nodded, and the old man walked in the opposite direction from the court.

From this moment, the three words "Zuo Junzhong" have been deeply imprinted in Hexuan's heart and can no longer be stroked.

Tao Yizhi is in a room in an inn, and Hexuan has not spoken since she left the court. Now, it's the same, just sitting quietly at the window.

Nearly three o'clock in the afternoon, He Xuan took out the jade Xiao from the burden and blew it gently.

With Xiao Sheng, two lines of tears poured down his cheeks, and big drops wet He Xuan's front. Tao Yizhi's heart standing behind her was also like a knife. He walked behind Hexuan and let her lean against him and gently stroked her hair.

"Master, what should I do?"

"What do you want to do?"

"Master, please teach me martial arts. I won't be lazy anymore. I will definitely learn hard; and I will also learn to read and write; and your medical skills... Master, teach me all your skills."

"Do you really want to learn?"

"Yes."

"You have to answer one thing first."

"You say it."

"Before the general left, tell me that if anything happens, I want you to change your surname Yi and live a good life. Now it seems that it is also... In this case, Master wants you to give up your surname and leave your name. From then on, there is no Li Hexuan in the world, only He Xuan.

"I listen to Master."

"And you..."

"Master, from now on, I will only wear men's clothing..."

"Good!"

Although the master and apprentice did not mention the word "revenge", they knew each other that it was necessary to avenge the murder of General Li!

He Xuan leaned against the window, looked at the flow of people on the street, and saw the two teenagers just now again.

"Master, I just listened..."

"Although you can't believe the rumors, you can't believe them all. The teacher will check it. You can take a rest first."

At this time, the jade-faced teenager shaded the sun with his hand and happened to see He Xuan again. He pulled the bronze-skinned teenager next to him and said, "The man I was talking about in the court just now is there."

"So what?"

"I just feel a little strange, as if his father died..."

Hearing this, the teenager also looked up, just glanced coldly with his eyes, and then said to the jade-faced teenager, "Go home quickly. Don't talk nonsense. Now you are the wanted general's cronies and daughter. What you just said is enough to kill that man.

"Why can't you even tell the truth!"

"It's not that I can't distinguish, but I'm afraid that someone will be confused."

The jade-faced teenager just smiled. When he looked up again, there was no shadow in the window.
