Attack Jade (攻玉) - Chapter 19

[Chapter 16 (2)]

, I didn’t accompany your mother to pick flowers once. At that time, when Tubo and Nanzhao invaded Jiannan Road, it was the most dangerous time for the military situation. Grandpa doesn’t even know what kind of music your grandma likes to play. ”

He lowered his head and caressed the body of the violin with his fingers, his eyes were very gentle: “But Grandpa knows that your aunt loves to play the violin and write poetry. When the tea ceremony was just beginning, your aunt was the first in the two capitals to be familiar with this way. , Every time someone in Chang’an comes out with a new poem, she recites it when she sees it, and she can do the maths faster than anyone else in Guozijian’s tricky maths. There is nothing in this world that she cannot learn. His lips trembled: ”

She has many hobbies, and grandpa doesn’t know much about it, but grandpa still wants to say that when your mother was here, it was the happiest time in grandpa’s life. Grandpa’s most fortunate thing is to marry your grandmother.

Teng Yuyi looked at Teng Shao with tears in her eyes: “If that’s the case, why is there Wu Yingying ? Teng Shao gritted his teeth: ”

Grandpa told you a long time ago that Grandpa was entrusted to take care of Wu Yingying back then. Grandpa owes you a lot in his life, but he never betrayed your mother!” ”

Teng Yuyi stared at her father, she just found it inexplicable irony. My father couldn’t remember the tune that A-Niang played, but it was “Su Muzhe” played by Wu Yingying just now.

Maybe my father didn’t know, he once played At a certain stage, I was moved by Wu Yingying, and this is undoubtedly more sad than death for a mother who loves her father deeply.

She said bitterly: “Grandpa dares to say that Wu Yingying’s illness has nothing to do with her! You brought her into the house, have you ever thought about bringing the wolf into the house? At that time, A-Niang was dying, you left the medical officer to see A-Niang, but you made a special trip to send that Wu Yingying to the ferry. Teng Shao ‘s eyes became extremely stern in an instant.

He stared at Teng Yuyi for a long time, and then turned back in a slump. There was endless sadness and pain in his eyes, and he said in a hoarse voice,

“Ayu, your mother’s death is like a part of Grandpa’s heart.” A thorn, since she left, grandpa has not lived a day without suffering, grandpa admits that he owes you grandma, and is willing to bear all this, but you are different, grandma has been gone for so many years, you are so overwhelmed in your heart So many things, when will you give up completely? ”

Teng Yuyi was extremely disappointed, and even more sobbed: “Okay, just give A-Niang back to me!”

She stepped over the threshold without turning her head, and Fei Xue swept her head over from the sky. Wet and cool, she couldn’t tell whether it was tears or snow, she pushed aside the stove and cloak handed over by the people, and walked out in the snow.

***

When Teng Yuyi woke up the next day, Teng Shao was no longer in the house.

Cheng Bo came to pass a message, saying that in the early dynasty, the sage appointed Teng Shao as the military marshal, and he would lead his army to attack Huaixi Road in a few days.

“Master should have gone to the military camp at this time, and he will be leaving Chang’an in two days at the latest.”

Teng Yuyi was facing a book of “South China Classic” in front of the case, and said lightly: “I see.”

Cheng Bo said again: “Master Before I left, I instructed that the lady must bring Duanfu when she goes out, and if she wants to leave the city, she must notify the old slave in advance, so that the old slave can make arrangements early.”

Teng Yuyi wrote a meal, and the grandfather said last night that this time the imperial court suppressed the rebellion. The difficulty of the election may be related to the fact that there are a large number of traitors lurking in Gyeonggi.

There have been examples of courtiers being ambushed when they went out to play at night. Grandpa is worried that those thieves will attack their family members? If they really dared to do so, it would be too blatant.

But this battle is very important. It can make the rebels fight one day later, and Huaixi’s rebels can win more points for themselves. Grandpa’s worries are not completely unreasonable.

She turned her head to look out the window, it was clear after the snow, and the sky was light.

“It’s going to be Laba soon. I’m going to the Du residence today to give some boxing gifts to my uncle. You should make preparations early.”

Cheng Bo agreed and made arrangements on his own. After a while, he hurriedly turned around again, “Ma’am, someone has arrived in the palace, and the Empress has a decree.”

Teng Yuyi hurriedly changed her clothes and went to the central hall, and there was indeed a eunuch waiting there.

The eunuch said: “The weather has been cold recently, and the transportation of grain in Suiyang and other places has been hindered. The sage is high in the sky and listens to the humble. He sent his envoys to Suiyang overnight to help the poor. , is to invite Lady Teng to go to Dayin Temple to worship the Buddha by the Queen’s order. The Queen and Lady will leave the palace tomorrow, so please prepare early.”

Teng Yuyi leaned over and said, “As per the order.” The

eunuch cleared his throat and said with a smile: “In addition, Princess Changyi also had something for the miscellaneous family to bring to Mrs. Teng: ‘Mei Lin dealt with you that day, and Azhi and I both thought you were interesting. This time, when you go to Dayin Temple to fast and worship Buddha, you must come early.'” The

eunuch His voice was shrill, and he repeated Princess Changyi’s words with such a smile, his demeanor and tone were vivid. Teng Yuyi lowered her head and listened, as if she had the illusion that Princess Changyi was standing in front of her.

Teng Yuyi smiled: “The minister and daughter follow the order.” After the

eunuch left, Cheng Bo hurried to deliver a letter to Teng Shao. Teng Yuyi stayed in the mansion to pack his bags, and sent another person to send the boxing gift to the Du mansion.

Dayin Temple is located in Fuxingfang. It was built more than a hundred years ago. It has always been a royal Buddhist temple. I heard that the sage received the great grace of the presiding monk Yuanjue when he did not recognize his ancestors and returned to the ancestry.

The next day, Teng Yuyi went to Dayin Temple with Feng Jia. In addition to the family members of several important officials in the court, the queen also invited the wives and daughters of a few important foreign officials who fought against the rebellion and cut the vassal.

Teng Yuyi was placed in Xuanpu Pavilion in the east wing, and the daughters of several princes and ministers shared a bed with her.

Due to the need to meditate and worship the Buddha, the servants of the various governments were not allowed to enter the temple, so Duanfu was naturally blocked from the outside.

Teng Yuyi only brought Chunrong and Biluo, the most calm of the maids, into the temple. Fortunately, there was not much luggage and it was easy to organize.

The master and servant were busy cleaning up, and someone in the corridor outside said: “There are many trees in the temple, and there must be many birds. It is estimated that there is a bird’s nest on any tree. It will take a lot of time. You can send someone to help you. Look for a bird’s nest, be careful to disturb your aunt.”

This voice was still childish, and it was the Princess Changyi.

Azhi said: “But the tree is so tall and the snow is so heavy, how can we climb up with the two of us alone. Sister, please think of a way, the weather is so cold, the birds may freeze to death in their nests soon. We have to get them into the house earlier.” The

other noble ladies heard this and came out of the room early: “I’ve seen Princess Changyi, I’ve seen Princess Jingde.”

Azhi was very excited. Said: “Would you like to come with us to find—” Princess

Changyi hurriedly covered her mouth and nodded at those people: “We have something to do with Mrs. Teng, do you know where she lives?”

The door opened, and Teng Yuyi came out with Chunrong and Biluo.

Azhi and Changyi’s eyes lit up: “Hey, you finally showed up, we are just looking for you.”

Teng Yuyi smiled and saluted, “I wonder why the two Highnesses are looking for the ministers and daughters?”

Changyi took Azhi’s hand and stepped inside In the room: “Let’s talk after entering the room.”

The luggage in the room was half packed, and there were many clothes on Hu’s bed and couch.

Chang Yi and Azhi turned around in the room, looked back at Teng Yuyi and said, “Don’t you forget to answer us?”

Teng Yuyi said, “If the two Highnesses said they were looking for a magpie’s nest, this time I’m afraid it won’t work.”

Azhi was a little anxious: “Why didn’t it work?”

Teng Yuyi pointed out the window: “It started snowing again at noon, and the snow outside was so gluttonous that you couldn’t even see the treetops, so she ran out at this time. Not only can I not find the bird’s nest, but I might even fall and die, so it’s better to wait until the weather is fine before looking for it.”

Chang Yi said: “But when the weather is fine, those birds will freeze to death.”

Teng Yuyi said curiously, “Chang Yi said . Princess Yi, who told you that birds would freeze to death?”

Chang Yi said, “Big brother said that.”

Big brother naturally meant Lin Chengyou.

Teng Yuyi asked, “What did Your Highness say?”

Azhi’s round face was flushed with anxiety, and she kept slumping and sighing: “Look at it, sister, I’ll say they don’t know.”

Teng Yuyi said: ” Hey? What’s going on, the ministers and daughters would like to hear about it.”

Chang Yi said, “Once I and Azhi went to Zheng Pushe’s house to play, and when we passed a big tree, we saw Brother A looking for something on the tree. , I thought he lost something, but he said he was looking for a bird’s nest. We asked him why he was looking for this thing, he said that it was winter, the birds would freeze to death in the nest, he helped the birds move a nest It’s a good deed. It snowed in Chang’an a few days ago, and the weather became colder and colder, so Azhi and I started to worry about the birds in the palace.”

Teng Yuyi looked at the two of them speechlessly, this Prince Cheng’s heir is really incompetent . Small, casual remarks made the two younger sisters believe it.

She smiled: “The birds won’t freeze to death.”

Azhi shook her head and said, “I don’t believe it, my brother never lied to me, Ayu, don’t use words to coax people just because you want to be lazy.”

Teng Yuyi said: ” How dare the ministers and daughters deceive His Highness, His Highness think about it, in order to keep out the cold, the birds either fly south in autumn or build their nests in advance. Generation after generation, they all multiply like this. If every winter passes, they will freeze to death. Isn’t it extinct long ago?”

Chang Yi became suspicious: “Yes, Azhi, no one used to specially move birds into the house, but as soon as spring starts, the birds will come out chirping.”

Azhi thought for a while, and pouted: “Damn, why did you lie to us?”

Changyi thought for a while and said, “Since Big Brother A arrived at Dali Temple, he has been wandering in the market every day, and he clearly said that he was drunk that day. I was about to leave, but ran up to the tree again, ah, do you think Big Brother A is investigating something?”

She became excited, her eyes bright as morning stars.

Teng Yuyi coughed, and the investigation found Zheng Pushe’s house? To do so is too conspicuous. But if it wasn’t to investigate the case, why would he distract his two younger sisters with words?

Azhi is still angry: “Anyway, the prince and the elder brother will come to the temple later. When the elder brother comes, I must punish him to tell us more stories or play with us.

” He sighed: “The year before last year, Big Brother A joined the army for a whole year, and he came back to tell a lot of stories. He usually catches demons and slays demons, and often tells us interesting things, but after he arrived at Dali Temple, he refused to say anything. I’ve been so busy recently, so I might not be willing to take care of us.”

Azhi’s shoulders drooped down: “Sister, we can’t find a bird’s nest now, so let’s play something.”

Changyi asked Teng Yuyi to make up his mind, and when he turned around, his eyes swept over Hu’s bed. , asked in surprise: “What is that?”

Teng Yuyi followed and looked over, and the thing lay quietly beside her pile of intimate clothes. It was the puppet that her mother left her back then.

Azhi also found it strange that Teng Yuyi’s clothes were all expensive and neat, but the puppet was dull and white, as if it had been touched and washed repeatedly, and it was too worn out.

The two walked over. This puppet was different from the common dolls in the market. It was actually a woman holding a little girl. The arms of the two were sewn together with thread, forming a posture of hugging each other. Judging from the demeanor , should be a mother and daughter.

Azhi asked curiously, “Ayu, you’re so old, but you’re going out for a few days, why don’t you forget to bring a puppet?”

Chang Yi carefully stroked the puppet’s head: “This puppet is so old, why don’t you get a new one ? Teng Yuyi calmly moved the

doll away and said with a smile: “I have it since I was a child, and I have been reluctant to throw it away for many years. I have a set of wooden figures made by Yangzhou craftsmen. They are flexible and can be changed. Although they are not comparable to the things in the palace, they are still clumsy and cute, do you two want to see it?” The

two looked at each other: “Okay, take it out and take a look.”

Teng Yuyi put away the puppet properly, and took out the other one. Set of villains to play with them.

The three of them sat down, and Teng Yuyi put up a dozen little people one by one, picked up a feather fan, raised his arm and pointed, and pretended to say: “I will be Zhuge, you will be Cao Cao, set up the boat, and I will borrow food. ”

Chang Yi grabbed a villain in green: “I don’t want to be a bearded hero, I want to be a beautiful Diaochan! Azhi, you should be Lu Bu.”

Azhi shook his head: “I don’t want to be Lu Bu, and I don’t want to be Zhuge either. And Cao Cao, they are all boring, I want to be Gu Qu Zhou Lang.”

When they were having fun, the outside suddenly said: “Who are you? What are you doing here?” It

was the voice of a young man, Azhi and Chang Yi was stunned for a while, and cheered: “Big Brother A is here!” The

two quickly walked out of the house, and the servants hurriedly followed.

Teng Yuyi pushed open a slit in the window drawer and saw two men surrounded by the servants in the court.

The other was tall and slender, and looked surprisingly handsome. It was strange that this man was only wearing the green robe of a seventh-rank official, but he was accompanied by a group of servants.

Azhi and Changyi ran to the man: “Brother Prince! Brother A, did you just come from Dali Temple?”

Teng Yuyi was a little surprised, almost didn’t recognize it was Lin Chengyou.

Lin Chengyou touched the heads of Azhi and Changyi, and then asked the maid in front of him, “Are you dumb? What are you sneaking about?

” Looking for the little lady of General Teng’s house, I heard that Princess Changyi and Princess Jingde were in Lady Teng’s house. The maid did not dare to trespass, so she had to wander here, accidentally disturbing the prince and the prince, and only asked for a light punishment. The

prince was always gentle and quiet: “Who is your wife?”

“The daughter of Li Changmao, the provincial governor of Suzhou. When my wife lived in Yangzhou, she had a good relationship with Lady Teng. She learned that Lady Teng was in the neighboring courtyard, and she asked her to be a maid. I’ll give Mrs. Teng some plain food.”

This was true, the servant girl was indeed holding a silver flat lacquer tray in her hand.

Teng Yuyi frowned, never seeing this person before.

However, she had some impressions of Li Changmao’s daughter. Li Changmao was a lieutenant under his grandfather in his early years. When he was still in Yangzhou, Li Changmao’s wife brought her daughter to the house as a guest.

Li Xiaoniang’s boudoir name is Li Huaigu, which means “Huaiyang Yonggu”. She has played with Li Huaigu once or twice, but they can’t talk about friendship.

A cynical smile escaped Lin Chengyou’s mouth: “From Yangzhou?” The

maid’s face was faintly red, but she answered calmly: “It’s true that the native place is Yangzhou, but the lady has only lived in Yangzhou for three years with the master. Years.”

Azhi snorted heavily, and Lin Chengyou turned to look at her with a teasing tone: “What are you laughing at?”

Azhi raised two fingers: “Two.”

Lin Chengyou did not ask what “two” meant. , said sarcastically, “Why don’t you ask for my brother, what is her wife’s nickname?” When

he spoke to Azhi, his voice was softer, less aggressive, and more gentle and patient.

The maid’s face turned even redder.

Azhi pouted: “My brother has already asked, so you can talk about it.” The

maid said, “My lord has not specially given a nickname for his wife, because she is the third in her family, and she has been called Sanniang since she was a child.”

Lin Chengyou He snorted and ignored the maid: “The prince will look for you as soon as he arrives. Where have you been? Have you had enough fun? Go and say goodbye to your aunt first.

” Big deposit is here, you are always clamoring for Ada to tell you stories, and today he can tell you enough.”

Chang Yi said angrily, “I haven’t calmed down yet, Big Brother A, why did you lie to us! ”

Lin Chengyou smiled and said, “I’m wronged, when have I lied to people?”

“No, you lied to us so badly about that bird’s

nest last time.”

Azhi pouted: “Brother, you still want to deny it!” The

prince looked into the house and seemed to be hesitating, but Teng Yuyi’s house was as quiet as ever, and no one came out to show his face, so he had no choice but to tell the servant girl. Said: “You don’t have to kneel anymore, just get up.” The

group was about to leave when the maid had numb legs after kneeling for a long time. When she got up, her body crooked, and something fell from her waist. It was round and silvery and straight. Roll to Azhi’s feet.

The maid had a terrified expression on her face, and was about to come over to pick it up. Chang Yi had ordered the servant to pick it up. It turned out to be a silver silk sachet.

“A Gu.” Chang Yi tilted his head to recognize the words on it.

Lin Chengyou paused in footsteps and turned to look over.

“What’s this?” Azhi curiously approached Changyi, “Strange, why would someone call Agu?” The

maid hurriedly knelt down and said, “If you go back to His Highness, this is something belonging to my third mother, because of her maiden name. The word ‘Gu’ was in the middle, and the word ‘A Gu’ was engraved on the small items.”

Azhi wanted to hand the ball to Lin Chengyou, but Lin Chengyou refused to accept it: “You didn’t say your wife’s nickname Is it called Sanniang, why is it called Agu again?” The

maid hurriedly said: “Sanniang is the nickname of the lady, and Huaigu is the big name of the lady. When the lady was born, the master was entrusting the protection of the grain transportation of Huaiyang and Yangzi. For the sake of good morals, I named the lady Li Huaigu.”

“Huaigu, Huaiyang Yonggu… Ah Gu.” Lin Chengyou looked strange, “Did your lady ever come to Chang’an when you were young?” The

maid lowered her head and asked. “I did come to Chang’an a few times.”

“Are you here in the eighth year of Longyuan?”

Teng Yuyi thought to himself, could it be that Li Huaigu was the girl who rescued Lin Chengyou when he was a child?

The eighth year of Longyuan was the year when Grandma passed away. She and Grandpa helped the coffin back to Chang’an. The journey was exhausted. She was crying because she missed her mother, and she suffered from a strange disease not long after she came.

I heard from my aunt that once she had a high fever to the point of convulsions, and if she hadn’t asked Feng Yu Shi from the palace to prescribe acupuncture, she could hardly have been saved.

“This…” The maid shook her head, “The maid can’t remember, you have to ask the lady and the madam.”

Lin Chengyou looked at the maid, and the prince was about to speak, when a servant at the gate of the courtyard came over and said, “His Royal Highness, His Royal Highness, The queen invites you to come over.”

Not long after they left, the queen asked her daughters to go to Yunhuitang to fast and copy the scriptures.

From the queen onward, each person needs to copy ten volumes of scriptures, and for three days in the temple, there is no meat or fishy smell.

After eating fast food in the evening, Teng Yuyi came out with the scriptures given by the queen, and there were servants everywhere. As he walked around the winding corridor, the surroundings suddenly became quiet.

Teng Yuyi knew in her heart that there were guards standing around inside and outside of Dayin Temple, like a golden city soup pool, but the temple was so quiet that it was inevitable that people would be frightened.

The scripture scroll in Teng Yuyi’s hand almost fell to the ground. The man gave a false hand, and then released his hand: “Ms. Teng.”

Teng Yuyi stabilized her mind and bowed her knees: “His Royal Highness.” The

prince said calmly, “General Teng entrusted me . Let me give you a few words, I guess you will pass by here, so I made a special trip to wait here for a while, and forgot to tell you beforehand, didn’t I scare you?”

Teng Yuyi said: “If you go back to His Highness, you will not be frightened, only I don’t know what grandpa said.”

But he wondered, how could grandpa take the initiative to ask the prince to speak?

The prince said: “General Teng is in charge of military affairs in Xiying at the moment. When I went, he was looking for someone to return to the city to deliver a letter to you, but the military situation was urgent, and all parties were waiting for him to issue orders. I saw that he could not make room. He said that I would also come to Dayin Temple today, but I can convey

it on my behalf. “Your grandfather asked me to instruct you that he will not leave the capital for the next two days, but by the time you leave the temple, he will probably have already left. Recently, the rebels have left. Partisans are frequently rioting, and another messenger was attacked this morning. During the few months he has not been in Chang’an, you must be careful when entering and leaving. ”

Teng Yuyi quietly listened to these words and nodded: “Take this in mind. Thank you, His Royal Highness, for spreading the word on your behalf.” The

prince smiled: “When I was with the army in the west, General Teng once saved my life. He taught it orally, and I have long since recognized General Teng as a master, and it is also the student’s duty to pass on the words on behalf of the teacher. The words have been brought, and Mrs. Teng can go back to the bed.”

These words are modest and candid, not only explaining the reason, but also Dispelling the doubts in Teng Yuyi’s heart, Teng Yuyi said, “I would be very grateful for your help, His Royal Highness. If there is nothing else to do, the minister and daughter will retire first.” The

prince nodded, took the lead, took a few steps, and suddenly Looking back: “You have a letter in your hand now, and it’s convenient to enter the palace. If you encounter a difficult matter, you can have someone come to me with the letter.”

Teng Yuyi was silent for a while, and was about to make excuses to refuse, when the wall appeared on the wall. In the long and narrow lamp shadow, someone came over there.

Teng Yuyi and the prince were standing in the corner of silence, and there was not even a servant beside them. If they bumped into each other head-on, people would mistake them for a private meeting.

Teng Yuyi didn’t want to get involved with the prince, and looked around, thinking about getting out as soon as possible, but there were verandas on both sides.

Seeing the lamp shadow getting closer, the prince motioned Teng Yuyi to keep silent and pushed her into the room hidden behind her, but he did not go in, but closed the door for Teng Yuyi from the outside.

Teng Yuyi’s heart skipped a beat, this was not a good idea, but it was the only way to keep her traces intact.

The footsteps got closer and louder.

“My aunt heard that she found the old A Gu, and she even prepared the reward, but who knows it’s a fake again. Brother, how do you know that Li Huai has inherent problems?”

Lin Chengyou said: “I’ll go to Dongshi to investigate the case, whatever you want. As soon as you ask, you will know that someone went to Dongshi two days ago to cast a batch of small items, from combs to incense balls, they all required to engrave the word ‘Agu’, but the original mold was engraved with the words “Agu”. The word ‘Sanniang’ shows that this person’s nickname was originally Sanniang, but suddenly changed to ‘Agu’, isn’t it just for today’s appearance.”

Azhi was stunned and said: “Ah, this Li Huaigu is too bad, but brother, my aunt has punished her, why do you have to force her to change her name?”

Lin Chengyou said: “Is she also worthy of the name Agu Agu? I I’m in a bad mood today. This person surnamed Li bumped into me. My aunt prayed to the Buddha and fasted. I also did some kind deeds. I kindly changed her name to Li Huaisan. Wouldn’t this name be suitable for someone like her? If she is not satisfied, call A cat and a dog also made it, in short, don’t let me hear her calling herself A Gu.”

Azhi smiled for a while, and then asked: “Brother, how do you know that they are not the Gu of the year?”

Lin Chengyou said: “You just said that you want to Looking for a bird’s nest, brother will take you to fly around the tree?”

Azhi cheered: “Okay!”

Then he said, “No, no.”

Lin Chengyou seemed to be holding back a smile: “Why not?

” Zhi said angrily: “I understand, I understand! Every time I want to ask something, as long as my brother doesn’t want to answer me, he will definitely interrupt me.”

Lin Chengyou whispered: “Azhi, listen, is there a bird above? Are you calling?”

“Brother, you’re here again.” Azhi stomped her feet, “Brother, just tell me! You taught me this time, and next time you don’t have to dismantle them yourself.”

“You little head. What are you pretending to do? How can there be so many things in this world? You said just now that there is nothing delicious in the temple. When there is no one, brother go out and buy some snacks for you. Do you like the jade tip noodles last time? ”

No, no, I won’t eat anything!”

“Okay, that brother is gone.”

Azhi said anxiously, “Brother!” The

prince bravely went up to meet him: “Azhi, you still I don’t know your brother’s temperament, if he doesn’t want to say it, no one will want to ask.”

Azhi said in surprise, “Why is the prince here?”

The prince coughed: “I just came out of the abbot’s office, and I was going back to the palace.”

Azhi said, “Brother Prince, you are so smart, can you figure out what’s going on?” The

prince was absent-minded: “It’s been so many years, Is there anything that your brother can recognize at a glance? Hairpin ring? Wrist bracelet?”

Azhi said, “No, no, I think it must be something fun, and only Gu has it.” The

prince laughed. “Ah, listen to me, Azhi’s tone of voice is more and more like you.”

Lin Chengyou smiled; “I can’t compare, she is much more difficult than me.”

“Azhi, it’s too windy in this place . If you want to know anything, go to the side and ask.”

Azhi said, “If you don’t want to tell me, I will spend the night thinking about it here.”

Lin Chengyou smiled and said, “Okay, I’ll go back to the yamen right away, you stay here . Just wait and think about it!”

Azhi burst into tears, and Lin Chengyou took a step, as if hugging his sister: “I’m afraid of you, don’t cry anymore, cry again, brother is really gone.”

The prince hurriedly cleared the siege: “I’ll torture your brother for you, don’t stay here, be careful of catching a cold.”

He heard Azhi say: “My aunt said it was related to the puppets, but the puppets all look the same, how can you rely on this Recognize someone. Brother, tell me quickly, okay?”

Lin Chengyou said, “Look at how ugly you are crying, go back to your bedroom first, brother will tell you.”

Azhi was overjoyed: “I saw a strange person today . Strange puppet, that person also lived in Yangzhou, but she is not called Agu.”

Lin Chengyou sighed: “That person knew that you were my sister-in-law, and he happened to let you see the puppet, what else do you know? Gu Bu Gu, take the initiative to say that I don’t use this name. I have seen this kind of way a lot, and my head has grown a bit big recently.”

Teng Yuyi heard it loudly behind the door, what does this have to do with her?

The prince patiently said to Azhi: “I don’t blame your brother for being upset. The court has recently changed, and many officials from other places have come to the capital to report their work. Grandpa and Aniang love your brother. This is something that all officials in the court know. If Grandpa knows The daughter of an official who rescued your brother will definitely be jealous of that person. As a result, he will be relied on during the election period. Therefore, recently many people call themselves Agu, and they even ask the courtiers to spread the word to the palace… . . .”

Their voices were getting lower and lower.

Teng Yuyi waited in the room for a while, and didn’t come out until the silence returned.

After leaving the Xuanpu Pavilion, Chunrong and Biluo were still waiting outside. Their noses were red, and they were obviously cold. The three masters and servants went back to the bedroom to rest, and they were speechless that night.

For the next two days, Teng Yuyi followed the queen to worship the Buddha every day.

After three days like this, it was time to leave the temple on the fourth day. At dawn, Teng Yuyi was still asleep when someone suddenly pushed her in her dream.

She opened her eyes in confusion and met Chunrong and Biluo’s panicked faces.

“Madam, wake up!” Teng Yuyi’s drowsiness disappeared. The two

maids had been by her side for many years. They had always been careful and calm, so she lost her temper. I don’t know what happened, she suddenly got up: “What’s wrong?”

: “Master has an accident.”

Teng Yuyi was stunned. Biluo was terrified and uneasy: “When the master went to court today, he was ambushed by a group of rebels at

Jiafumen. Cheng Bo came to deliver the letter just now, and even the queen was alarmed.”

When I got up, I found that my hands and feet were as numb as wood.

She pushed the two of them away, lowered her head and casually put on her shoes: “Mostly I heard wrong, I want to ask Cheng Bo face to face. No, grandpa is still in Xiying, I will go directly to Xiying to find grandpa.”

Chunrong and Biluo shivered She served Teng Yuyi’s clothes. The three masters and servants packed up and went out. The sky was not yet clear, snowflakes were fluttering, and there was a vague sense of emptiness between heaven and earth.

Teng Yuyi took a breath of cold air before realizing that she forgot to wear a cloak, but she couldn’t care less, and ran to the gate of the courtyard in a hurry, and bumped into a group of people.

The person who was in front of him was the queen, and the servants behind him followed in a husky manner, vaguely uneasy.

Seeing Teng Yuyi, the queen hurriedly greeted her: “Ms. Teng.”

A strong sense of ominousness emerged from Teng Yuyi’s back, and she reluctantly maintained her courtesy: “I have seen the queen…” The

queen took Teng Yuyi’s arm: “No need, get up.”

The queen’s hand was even colder than Teng Yuyi’s, and she said solemnly, “The calf is ready, your grandfather is leading the army guards on the left, and the saint has sent all the imperial guards in the palace and is doing his best to treat him. Don’t be afraid, child. , your grandfather serves the country with all his heart, and every misfortune will turn into good fortune.”

Teng Yuyi trembled: “What happened to grandpa?” The

queen was silent, and took off the snow-white fox fur on her body and tied it to Teng Yuyi: ” Those thieves failed to assassinate a few officials last time, so they set their target on General Teng, it must have been a long-planned plan, even General Teng’s skill…” The

queen had seen the wind and waves, and her attitude and tone were far less calm than usual. It can be seen that the assassination of the courtier this time almost shook the entire court and opposition.

Teng Yuyi couldn’t help trembling, and walked out with her heart hanging.

Cheng Bo was covered in blood, and when he saw Teng Yuyi come out, he knelt down. When he knelt down, many of the guards in Teng Mansion, including Duan Fu, could not afford to kneel.

“Damn the villain, when the villain arrived, the master was seriously injured.” Cheng Bo’s tears flowed.

Teng Yuyi numbly stepped forward to help: “Tell me what happened today on the road.”

Teng Yuyi got on the calf, and Cheng Bo and the others rode their horses to follow: “The military situation in front of the front is in a hurry these days, and Chang’an is not very peaceful. When the master came in and out, he specially added a team of personal guards. After finishing the military affairs in Xiying, we will have to do it tomorrow. The expedition was off. In the morning, the master and his guards passed by Jiafumen, and suddenly there was a heavy fog around. The fog was very evil, and after hearing it for a long time, I became dizzy. At that time, the master said in the fog: Beware of ambush. A bunch of assassins came out from all directions.

“When Wuhou, who was patrolling the streets, heard the news, he rushed to the scene. Most of the guards were killed on the spot, but only one survived. After he was rescued, there was only one breath left. Before his death, he said that among the assassins Some people know sorcery, and they clearly hear the sound of swords in the fog, but they have nowhere to hide. The master was so powerful that he killed most of the assassins, but he was still seriously injured. Now the wounds in the chest and abdomen are bleeding constantly, and Feng Yu is trying to stop the bleeding. Teng Yuyi held on

to the handrail tightly and was still receiving treatment, which proves that there is hope. Grandpa is in good health, and the situation should not be as bad as she thought.

She rushed to the left leading army guard with a glimmer of hope. Some soldiers said that General Teng was placed in the In the middle hall, Teng Yuyi walked in in a panic. Along the way, there were only sword stands standing in a forest, but not a single official. When they

got to the middle hall, it was full of people. The officials either sighed and shook their heads or paced anxiously

. Who said: “General Teng’s daughter is here.

Many eyes swept towards Teng Yuyi, Teng Yuyi walked over, and the officials automatically separated from each other. Teng

Yuyi saw her father’s boots first, then the dark ochre robe.

However, when she got closer, she realized that her father was wearing royal blue. The tee shirt was mistaken for a dark ochre color at first glance, because her father’s entire chest, abdomen and calf were stained with blood.

Teng Yuyi’s legs softened, and a few people ran up behind her and forcibly helped her up.

She stumbled . As I walked over, I suddenly saw my father’s face. I had never seen such a pale complexion, whiter than paper, but the eyebrows and eyes were abnormally black, as black as ink. If it weren’t for the abnormal complexion, it would be like a painting. Like a master

, she moved forward and carefully held her father’s cold hand.

Teng Shao opened his eyes and was out of breath.

Teng Yuyi said softly, “Grandpa.” The

soldiers began to cry in a low voice.

Teng Yuyi looked at both sides blankly: “What’s the meaning of this? Why didn’t you give my grandfather medicine?”

Several old men seemed to be Fengyu in the palace, with tears in their eyes, cupped their hands and said, “General Teng died of serious injuries, we are waiting for you. Incompetent, I have no power to return to heaven.”

Cheng Bo burst into tears, his shoulders were short, and he kowtowed desperately.

Duan Fu and the others opened their mouths and knelt down without saying a word.

The young soldier cried, “These thieves! It’s not an exaggeration to openly frame such a loyal and good general. It’s not an exaggeration to die a hundred times! From today onwards, I will hunt down the culprits day and night. When the thieves are caught, I will definitely behead them.

” General Teng has led the army for decades, and there are countless thieves and captives. He knows people and makes good use of them. Who will not be convinced! Now that General Teng has been murdered by a traitor, how can we be at peace

? This hatred, I swear not to be human!”

Teng Yuyi shook his father gently, but his father did not respond, despairing to the extreme, instead he became dumbfounded.

I could still see how my father spoke that night, but in just a few days, how could my father become such a cold body.

She whispered, “Grandpa, I’m here.”

“Get up, get up and see your daughter.”

Seeing that something was wrong with Teng Yuyi, the people next to her tried to pull her away with tears. Teng Yuyi stood motionless, the father and daughter were the same. Stubborn, Teng Shao’s eyes were open unyieldingly, clearly there was still a lot to say.

The leading guards wept continuously, some people went to the palace to report the funeral, and some people wanted to move Teng Shao into the coffin.

“General Teng’s eyes can’t be closed.”

The man said with tears: “This is an unfinished ambition! General Teng, you can go with confidence. You have traveled thousands of miles in your life and made countless achievements.
