Chapter 60 Sister and Brother Reunion
The subordinates raised by the clans saw that most of the superiors claimed to be subordinates, while the central army and the prefectures claimed to be subordinates. Qi Xiao called himself the subordinates at this time rather than the subordinates, indicating that he completely regarded Xu You as the leader of the army, and was no longer the Xu Xiaoqilang who was running around behind his butt back then.
Time is changing, and so are people!
After talking all night, until the east was slightly white. Taking advantage of the sky, Xu You found that the valley where he was in was almost a miracle of creation. The mountains around him were surrounded, and you could see the sky with your head up. Two deep slanted ditches were like human arms, which were carried by the valley. When the rain was heavy, it could discharge floods and eliminate disasters. When the rain was small, it could store water for your own use. When the sight was lush, it was covered with fresh fruits. There were houses in the valley, and the fields were everywhere, as if you were in the Peach Blossom Land, feeling relaxed and happy.
"After we leave, you immediately set up the arrangements, with your confidant as the leader, lightweight and simple. Dozens of people go to Qiantang in batches each time, trying to avoid others' eyes and ears. Time is limited to two months. Take my handwritten letter to Mingyushan to find He Ru, and he will do it properly." Xu You ordered him to take the pen and ink, write a few lines of words and hand it over to Qi Xiao, and said, "You have to send someone to contact the old subordinates of the Xu family scattered everywhere, so that they can gradually gather in Qiantang. Brother Qi, the world is going to be in chaos, and only by strengthening your own power as much as possible can you save your life, and you can advance to be the prime minister and be granted a title of marquis. Success or failure, this is a blow!"
"promise!"
Zong Yu Zuoqiu and others were still confused when they came out of the prison. Xu You and Qi Xiao had a show again. Qi Xiao announced that they had found two priceless jade techniques from Xu You, enough for the ransom they kidnapped this time. Then they blindfolded their eyes and tied them up in rows and escorted them outside the valley, even returning all the weapons they carried with them.
There is only one way out of the valley. First, climb to the top of the mountain from the low tunnel dug out, and then go to the other side of the mountain through the hidden suspension bridge. Xu You and Qi Xiao waved goodbye, and then looked back. There was a cloud of mist and the mountains were covered with eyes. No wonder the prefect's mansion could not find the place where the zombie was. What if it was found such a treasure land that was easy to defend and difficult to attack?
Listening to the group of thieves withdrawing and raising their hands to tear off the black cloth, Zuo Qiu Sijin looked at Xu You, her eyes full of shock and suspicion. Zong Yu was not a fool either, so he winked. The three of them quietly walked to the flanks and the rear, pressed the handle of the knife, surrounded Xu You Qingming, and said, "Langjun Huang, should you give me an explanation?"
"Don't blame Mr. Zong, I have no ill intentions towards you. I just said that by chance, the thief of the immortality has some connection with me, so I took my jade and agreed to let us go. Isn't this a good thing?"
"Good thing? We sneaked into the bandit's cave to find out the truth. Now, we not only have nothing to find, but we are also sent to you like pigs and dogs. Well, since you have something to do with the thieves, please follow us to the prefect's mansion."
Xu You smiled and said, "Mr. Zong Lang, you may not have seen the situation clearly... Qingming!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Qingming disappeared in place and was behind Zong Yu when he appeared again. He was shocked and had no time to draw his sword. He used his elbow as a weapon to hit him hard. At the same time, his feet were intertwined, and his body was lying on his back and spiraled up. The long sword was unsheathed, and the cold light drew through the arc and slashed towards Qingming's forehead.
These two moves are quite wonderful, but when encountering Qingming, it can only be said that Zong Yu has no luck. He is in mid-air, his chest is slightly numb, and he kneels down to the ground, and his wrist is protruding and painful. Somehow the knife reaches Qingming's hand, gently swaying across his neck, and can't move for a moment.
Zuo Qiu Sijin stopped the three followers who wanted to take action, stared at Xu You with beautiful eyes and said, "Who are you? Why are there little master guards next to you?"
When saving people on Qingming, he only showed his light body cultivation and could not tell the depth. However, Zong Yu was already a master of grades, but he was taken like a joke. Only the little master who broke through the fifth-grade mountain gate could easily do it.
Xu You raised his lips slightly and said, "Who are you? The clerks of the prefect's palace? No, I don't think you are. You are bold and unconventional. How come you are cautious in the clerks who do not seek merit but seek nothing wrong? I heard that the king of Linchuan is respectful to the wise and the wise men, and the mansion has many strange people from the world. I think a few of them look like the disciples of the royal palace..."
Zuo Qiu Sijin said coldly: "What about clerks, so what about clerks? It's always better than some people who hide their heads and tails and act sneakily!"
"Yeah?"
Xu You chuckled and said, "The clerks of the prefect's office went to find Zhu Cao Xiangrui, which can be regarded as the loyalty of the prefect Yu to the court. But if the King of Linchuan privately sent someone to find Zhu Cao, if it was heard by the court... Ha, girl might as well guess what would you think today?"
Zuo Qiu Sijin's expression changed and said, "The King of Linchuan is like the prefect of Yu, who is asking for good fortune for the court. What crime is there?"
Xu You just cheated them, and it should be related to the King of Linchuan, and said lightly: "He is the sixth son of the late emperor, and this is a crime! Girls can bet on the bet, does the court believe me or yours?"
Zuo Qiu Sijin pressed her slender jade hand to her waist, and she showed a decisive meaning in her eyes, saying, "Crouching Tiger Si, yellow-eared dog?"
If Xu You is really from the Sili Mansion, even if he dies here, he cannot leave alive. But then he thinks that if the other party has a young master who has a siege, his chances of winning are almost zero, but they are the ones who have caused the disaster. No matter what, they cannot take a step back.
Perhaps, everyone died in battle, and there was no evidence of death, so the King of Linchuan could escape the disaster!
Zong Yu was so shocked that his whole body was as stiff as iron. His eyes looked at Zuo Qiu Sijin with a pleading look, and said, "Zuo Qiu, don't do it! Listen to me, listen to me! Huang... Huang Langjun, we are indeed... we are indeed the disciples of the Linchuan Prince's Mansion, but the Linchuan King was absolutely unparalleled in the emperor. He was about to express his congratulations to the emperor ascend the throne earlier, so he tried his best to look for auspicious things everywhere. Now, the white dragon of the water came out, which is where the holy virtue of the emperor is now. But the talisman is in Linchuan. Isn't it that the will of heaven shows the brotherhood of the emperor and His Highness?"
Xu You laughed and asked Qingming to let go of Zong Yu. Zong Yu rubbed his neck, and was a little unbelievable. Did he really save his life with words?
Zuo Qiu Sijin also realized that Xu You was indeed not malicious at this time. The tense string relaxed a little, and asked again with a puzzled look on his face: "Who are you?"
Xu You smiled and said, "Xu You, Qiantang, and your Highness... are relatives!"
"You Ye Yi Guang? Xu Weizhi?"
Zuo Qiu Sijin was completely stunned!
The next day and night, there was no more waves along the way. Everyone left Panshe Mountain safely, walked for another five days, and arrived in Linchuan City. Zuoqiu and others reported that they went directly into the royal palace without any obstacles and met An Xiulin and Xu Shunhua.
An Xiulin looked a little scared and was not tall. Although he was in the past, he looked old and especially had sparse hair. He wore a Jinxian crown and a thick insult, but he still couldn't hide the lonely and pitiful three or five hairs.
Speaking of baldness, this is an eternal problem that lasts for thousands of years. When Wang Mang usurped the Han Dynasty, his hair was so bald that he could not see people. This was the first habit of adding more clothes to the hat. People at that time joked that "Wang Mang was bullied, and he was a house to build a house". You should know that this kind of thing is exclusive to the lowly people. Wang Mang was the emperor's honor, but was willing to wear it on his head to meet the court officials. It can be imagined that even the saints could not avoid the inferiority and depression caused by hair loss.
When Cao Pi arrived, he was still suffering from hair loss. Until his death, he was still depressed. What was amazing is that Wang Mang usurped the Western Han Dynasty and was bald, and Cao Pi usurped the Eastern Han Dynasty and bald, so the curse of the Old Liu family echoed in the world:
If you usurp the Han Dynasty, you will be bald!
When we arrived at the An family, we were usurped by Wei, but the fate of bald heads could not be avoided. Perhaps this was not the curse of the Liu family, but the fate of all those who usurped the throne and refused to be in charge!
Xu You did not pay much attention to An Xiulin's hair problem. After meeting him, he informed him of what he saw and heard in Jinling one by one. Of course, the focus was on An Xiuming's ruthlessness and cruelty in killing his father, and the tragic situation of the imperial capital flowing into a river that night. It was like adding fuel to the fire, which was like hell on earth.
An Xiulin looked pale, walked to the door, knelt down in the direction of Jinling, crying and silent. Xu You stood behind him, using the magic of shining everything, and could sense An Xiulin's heartfelt pain and sorrow, where there was attachment to his father, whine to his brother, fear and panic about the father and son, and also where he was at a loss for the unknown future.
An Xiulin is a kind person. Xu You vaguely remembers what he said when he first met He Ru. With He Ru's sarcastic and mean nature, he still gave An Xiulin a kind evaluation without hesitation.
Yes, An Xiulin should be a kind person, but facing the current treacherous situation, kindness is not the most suitable character!
However, Xu You had no choice!
After a while, An Xiulin shook his body a few times, heartbroken, and fainted. Xu Shunhua ordered someone to carry him into the inner room and summoned the doctor to take his pulse. It was not serious. Then he repelled many palace maids and eunuchs, leaving Xu You and her alone!
Since I just met Xu Shunhua, her attitude towards Xu You was not cold or warm, and she was far less friendly than An Xiulin. She looked even colder. She took the bamboo pole used to hang palace lanterns, walked to Xu You, and said, "Kneel down!"
Xu You lifted up his robe and knelt down.
Bang!
The bamboo pole hit the back heavily.
Xu Shunhua scolded: "I have been waiting for you in Linchuan for six years. You have not come yet today. Should you fight?"
Xu You bowed his head and said, "My brother is here late, I wish to be punished by my sister!"
Bang!
Another shot!
This is a little lighter than just now.
"The entire Xu family's corpse is gone, and you will die with your eyes open! As the legitimate son, you live a life of silence and recognize the thief as your father. Should you beat him?"
"It's a vain to be a son of man, it's time to fight!"
Bang!
"Six years! Six years!"
Xu Shunhua circled Xu You, his eyes were red, and tears fell like rain, and he said, "For more than two thousand days and nights, those dog thieves were in their positions and rest assured. What did you do? Have you ever killed one person, eaten his flesh, or drank his blood?"
Bang!
Xu Shunhua took off her hair bun and exposed her smooth head. She turned out to be wearing a stern, that is, a fake bun, and said, "I've been white all night long, and I can only live like this without being a human or a ghost. You are a man's husband,"
Bang! Bang! Bang!
After dozens of times, Xu Shunhua looked crazy until he tied the bamboo pole into two pieces, sat down depressedly, clamped the gap between the bricks and stones with both hands, bleeding from his fingertips, and silenced on the ground and crying!
Xu You also knows the torture and torture she has suffered over the years. Her parents' family has been killed. Her husband's family is an enemy. Even if the husband does not abandon her, how can she deal with it? There is no way to take revenge, no way to vent her hatred, and there is not even a person who can say what she says. For a woman, living in the world is almost the same as the underworld, otherwise she would not be so obedient to her. Otherwise, she would not have lived for a few years.
"Sister!"
Xu You knelt down and hugged Xu Shunhua into her arms, gently stroked her back, and said, "Now I'm here, everything will be over. An Zidao, An Xiuming, Chen Muzhi and Sun Guan, everyone will pay the price to bury the unjust souls of my Xu family!"
Xu Shunhua raised his head, his pretty face twisted terriblely and said, "Do you promise?"
"I promise!"
Xu You touched her forehead, her eyes were all within reach, and she said, "In less than a year, I will restore Yixing County to the county, build an ancestral temple again, take Xu as the four surnames, be richer and richer, and be respected forever for generations!"
The county surname is controlled by the Chinese scholars who sent the third rank of the clan. Any three dukes in the three generations are called "Baoliang" and "The servants are called "Huawu", "Shangshu," "The leader, and "The guards" are named Jia, "The nine ministers, "The Yi" are named "Sanqi," "The servants are named "Yi", "The servants are named "Yanqi", "The Taizhong Dafu" is named "Bing", and "The Chief Minister of the Ministry of Personnel" is named "Ding", so there is a poem that says: The rich families of the Five Tombs are selected as the Yeting; the four surnames are well-known as Yongxiang.
Xu Shunhua closed his eyes slightly, looked peaceful, and whispered: "It's great that you are here!"
