Attack Jade (攻玉) - Chapter 20

[Chapter 16 (3)]

Lao, and now he sacrificed himself for the country, he will definitely be famous for bamboo and silk. ”

Outside report: “There is someone from the palace. “The

eunuch was a servant in the dust: “The sage heard the bad news of General Teng, and cried bitterly in the court hall, and passed the decree: General Teng was not afraid of force, and sacrificed his life in loyalty and righteousness, and mourned his life and death, and the whole country mourned.” Granted the Duke of Jin, presented the Taifu, erected a stele for biography, and used the history of Biao. General Teng’s niece was quiet, benevolent, and filial, but suddenly lost her parents. I took great pity on her, and gave her the title of Zhen’an County Lord, and enjoyed 3,000 households of food. Chin this. After the

eunuch announced the imperial decree, he looked at Teng Shao’s remains and couldn’t bear to say: “General Teng, the saint, for the comfort of the loyal soul, vowed to wipe out the gang of thieves lurking in the capital, and the crusade against Huaixi would not be hindered because of this. At that time, the world will return to its heart, and the name of General Lie Teng will be honored on the reward book. With such sorrow and honor, General Teng should rest his eyes. The

soldiers gently put their palms on Teng Shao’s face and moved away, Teng Shao still opened his eyes

. ”

“General Teng clearly has an unfulfilled wish. Cheng Bo looked at Teng Yuyi, understood in his heart, and cried: ”

Master sees that the lady is lonely, so he is reluctant to leave. My master, this old slave will try his best to protect the lady, so you can leave with confidence. Duanfu never said a word since the

incident, when he swung the knife in his palm, his hands dripping with blood, holding the knife high: “Master, Duanfu is here, madam! ”

The guards of the Teng Mansion all swore by blood: “The last will be here, madam!”

Teng Yuyi stroked her father’s face gently, her eyes were still open, as if waiting for an answer. There

was a sound in her throat, and tears slowly flowed down: “Grandpa.”

Teng Shao quietly looked at the beam of the house.

Teng Yuyi’s tears fell on his father’s cheeks: “Grandpa, I know you can hear me. I listen to you, and I will take good care of myself. In the future, although I am alone, But I will live well, grandpa, you can go in peace. ”

She burst into tears, stroking her eyes tremblingly, and this time, they finally closed them.

Teng Yuyi cried bitterly and fell down on his father. His cheeks touched the cold, hard bloodstain that had long since dried up. The sadness was infinitely magnified and weighed heavily on his heart. The father and daughter had been at odds for too many years, and there was still a lot of things to say to the grandfather. That’s all. Go, tell her how to be willing, how to be willing.

She was afraid that her grandfather and family would be reluctant to leave, so she did not dare to cry too loudly. But the grief and despair weighed like a rock, overwhelming her.

Someone helped Teng Yuyi up, and the memory behind her was blurred. She was like a walking corpse, holding her spirit in mourning every day numbly.

Teng Shao’s funeral was organized by the first-rank lord, and he did not go to the gods, but opened an ancestral temple.

The Xinzong Temple was located in the south of the city, and officials and people came to offer condolences in an endless stream. During this period, the prince came, and Teng Yuyi kowtowed and returned the salute.

The prince stood quietly in front of her for a long time, and finally took off his jade pendant and handed it to Cheng Bo: “The heroic soul is hard to find, the orphans are pitiful, the Duke of Jin was my mentor before his death, and he was posthumously named Taifu after his death. If you encounter any trouble, don’t worry, send someone to come to me immediately.”

Cheng Bo responded with tears.

After Teng Shao was buried, the soldiers escorted Teng Yuyi back to Teng Mansion.

Because the sage was worried about the trouble that the traitor would come to find Teng Yuyi, he specially appointed a team of personal guards to guard outside the Teng mansion.

The weather became more and more cold, the battle in Huaixi was fierce, and Xiying was in urgent need of troops. Soon after, all the rebels lurking in the capital were arrested, and the sage ordered to kill them.

The soldiers bound a hundred rebels to the south of the city, and cut off the heads of the thieves in front of Teng Shao’s tablet.

Once the rebels were eliminated, the world was cleared, and the people of Chang’an were all happy, and the guards outside Teng Mansion finally evacuated with confidence.

That night Teng Yuyi was sorting out his father’s relics in the study, and Cheng Bo replied from outside: “Jingde County Master sent someone to hand over the post, and invites you to come to Chengwang’s mansion tomorrow for a chat.”

Teng Yuyi was silent for a while, realizing that it was Azhi, whose father had been gone for a month, and then heard the name of the Jingde County Master, and it felt like a world away.

“You said I wasn’t feeling well, and pushed it for me.”

Cheng Bo sighed: “Jingde County Master seems to be in a hurry. He said that if the lady doesn’t go, she will come to the mansion. Lady, forgive the old servants, after the master leaves. You stay out of the house all day, and you haven’t used your food properly. If you are bored for a long time, your body can’t support it. Since the Lord of Jingde invites you, the lady might as well go out for a walk, just to relax.”

Teng Yuyi put his father’s letter in the letter . Put it in the drawer: “Although Grandpa has been buried, there are still a lot of errands to take care of. Besides, during my hot filial piety period, I should have banned Sizhu entertainment and returned to the county master for me. I should not go out recently. If the county master has any urgent matters , invite her to come to the mansion.”

Cheng Bo replied, and turned around after a while: “The servant said that he knows, the county master is very happy, because ‘she has found that person for her brother’, she will come with another person tomorrow, Said that some things need to be verified in front of the lady.”

Teng Yuyi frowned, what does this mean? A mindless sentence.

“Can the county master say who the other person is?”

“The maid didn’t say.”

Teng Yuyi said; “I’ll know tomorrow, so let someone prepare refreshments in advance.”

Cheng Bo agreed and said: “Ma’am, give it to the master Xiying. The boxing ceremony prepared by the old department has been sent, and General Bai and others are very grateful, saying that Mrs. Duomeng will take care of her family members and return triumphantly, and she will definitely come to thank you.”

Teng Yuyi put the book on the table back on the shelf: “These soldiers are following My father has been by my side for many years, and they are not young anymore, so the high-ranking soldiers are nothing but the low-ranking soldiers and soldiers. The clothes and food they have left will make them feel more at ease.”

Cheng Bo’s tears flashed: “If the master knew that the lady is so profound and righteous, I don’t know how happy he would be.”

Teng Yuyi turned to look at him: “Tonight, the guards in Xiying have left, and those scumbags may have come to disturb the situation after hearing the news. How did they defend themselves inside and outside the house?”

Cheng Bo said, “There are three shifts inside and outside, with a total of 60 people. , they are all brave people, change one shift at Zi Shi, another shift at Yin Shi, Duan Fu and Lao Nu stay outside the inner garden, and dare not slack off for a moment.”

Teng Yuyi nodded: “Cheng Bo, you are tired these days too. Now, it’s all right now, you go and rest for a while.”

“Old slave, go to arrange the boxing ceremony for tomorrow’s delivery to the prefectures, the lady has something to call the old slave.”

He closed the door for Teng Yuyi, bowed his head and backed out.

Teng Yuyi sorted out the letters one by one, and looked back at the bookshelf. His father didn’t like dancing and writing, and most of the books on the shelf were military books.

She reclassified the clutter, stood in the middle of the room and looked around. There was a huge study. Apart from the bookshelves full of Liu Tao and San Lue, the only thing that could be called a pastime was the violin left by A-Niang back then. .

The body of the piano was covered with brocade again, and it lay quietly in the middle of the Duobao Pavilion.

Teng Yuyi stared at the violin, but finally couldn’t hold back, stepped forward and took it down.

The lacquer on the body is as new, and the strings are as flexible as ever. It can be seen that although my father kept it in the study, he seldom took it down to play with it.

Teng Yuyi plucked the strings lightly with her fingers, and the lingering tone came out from her fingertips. She listened to the music, her brows gradually furrowed, and after all, she still felt stunned. She put the piano back in place, and accidentally touched the body of the piano with her right hand. On one side, there was a slight rattling sound.

Teng Yuyi was stunned for a while, could it be that the planks on this shelf are uneven? Compared to the left and right, the body of the piano is indeed high on the right and low on the left, and when I touch the shelf, there is actually a slight sliding feeling.

She turned around and put the qin on the shelf, and probed the shelf carefully. Sure enough, she found a wooden board that could float left and right. When she could not find the machine, she took out a dagger from the drawer and followed the wooden seam. Pry little by little.

Soon she pried it open, and there was a small shallow layer underneath, and when she felt it out, it turned out to be a stack of letters.

Teng Yuyi’s heart skipped a beat. Where did the letter come from? His father hid it in such a hidden place.

Moving to the lamp, she borrowed the light to examine it carefully. The letter was already a little yellowish, and it was obviously some years old.

At the bottom of the first letter, there was a line of words.

“Wu Mou knocks on”.

There was fire in Teng Yuyi’s eyes, could it be Wu Yingying?

But this line of characters is strong and rigid, not like a woman’s handwriting, not to mention if it is Wu Yingying, why do you call yourself Wu?

She hurriedly opened the letter, and it was written: “Farewell from Nanzhao country…” In the

middle of the night, the study was extremely quiet, she could read a line, and suddenly there was a scream from outside.

Teng Yu was stunned, took the letter back to its original place, walked quickly to the door, pressed against the door and whispered, “Uncle Cheng?”

No one answered.

Teng Yuyi was so surprised that she tied the fox fur around her neck and opened the door carefully.

Tonight, the wind and snow have stopped, the sky and the earth are cold and lonely, the moon hangs lonely in the sky, and the miserable moonlight spills into the courtyard.

Teng Yuyi stood on the porch and listened attentively. She could vaguely hear the sound of swords colliding with nails. She panicked. It seemed that thieves were really coming to intrude. Where was Duanfu?

She whispered: “Duanfu.”

Still no one responded. Teng Yuyi was inexplicably flustered. Duanfu would never be too far away from her. If she was in the study, he would always stay outside the courtroom.

There was no one in the courtyard, so she walked quickly along the veranda, no matter what happened outside, it was the best policy to return to the inner courtyard as soon as possible.

She ran out of the garden gate, and suddenly a dozen figures appeared silently on the ground in front of her. Teng Yuyi was horrified and startled. When she looked back, she realized that a group of masked people with strange clothes had appeared on the roof at some point.

Each of them held a knife in their hands, and the blade was as dazzling as snow waves in the moonlight.

Teng Yuyi ran away, screaming as he ran: “Duanfu! Cheng Bo!” The

swords clashed, and the night sky was clanging, and Cheng Bo’s voice came from afar: “Miss! Hurry back to the inner garden!”

Teng Yuyi His scalp was numb, it turned out that Cheng Bo had been outside the study just now, why didn’t he see him when he came out.

She followed the sound and looked back, just in time to see Cheng Bo falling from the wall.

His limbs looked a little twisted, and his skills were far less vigorous than usual. In just a few short sentences, it was as if someone was strangling his throat.

Teng Yuyi ran a few steps and felt that something was wrong, and turned back suddenly, a shudder suddenly appeared on his back, the masked men disappeared out of thin air, and Cheng Bo and a dozen guards were fighting hard against the empty courtyard.

“Cheng Bo! There is no one in front of you!” Teng Yuyi reminded them fearfully as he ran wildly.

Cheng Bo stumbled a few steps, and before he had time to turn around, the group of weirdos suddenly rushed out of the slanting stab. Cheng Bo didn’t even have time to change his moves, and was stabbed in the right ribs.

He gritted his teeth and held a sword flower in his hand, reluctantly stabbed the strange person in front of him.

“Come on!”

Teng Yuyi’s eyes were hot, and she ran forward desperately, what the hell are these people, why would they use such a magic trick!

Cheng Bo was still fighting desperately behind his back, and there was the sound of fist-fighting from the front, accompanied by a beast-like roar, and suddenly two masked men were thrown far from the corner to Teng Yuyi’s feet.

Duanfu was covered in blood and rushed towards Teng Yuyi: “Ma’am!”

Teng Yuyi kicked the masked man under his feet: “These people came prepared, Cheng Bo was seriously injured, did anyone go out to deliver the letter? If you can’t kill him, no one in the house wants to leave!”

“Cheng Bo desperately released the two of them just now, and he should bring someone here soon.” Not to mention holding Teng Yuyi under his arm, he quickly fled out.

“They know different techniques. Most of the guards inside and outside the house were attacked, and they seem to be familiar with the people around the lady. In order to lure the old slave away, they specially recruited a woman similar to you to lure the old slave out of the house. Slave is almost fooled.”

No wonder he didn’t see Duanfu and Cheng Bo when he came out, Teng Yuyi’s heart seemed to come out of his throat: “You killed those few, but if you ask them who ordered them, why did you kill me?”

Duanfu seemed to be holding back his cough, blood dripping down his lips: “I can’t ask, but I should be looking for something, so I aimed at the master’s study.

Every time he said a word, his breath became weaker, Teng Yuyi His heart sank quickly: “Duanfu, where are you hurt?

Duanfu’s white temples were full of beads of sweat: “Old slave, don’t worry . Teng Yuyi bit her lip tightly .

Her father once said that Duanfu has extraordinary internal strength, and there are few people in the world who learn martial arts, but even Duanfu was seriously injured. It can be seen that these people have planned how to deal with Duanfu in advance

. Fu Teng rose and fell a few times, and quickly climbed over the wall of the inner garden. As long as he passed through the pond in front of the garden, he could escape from the house. The

pond was already frozen, and the ice surface was graceful with light and shadow, reflecting the night sky. There was a silver moon in the middle, and a weeping willow in front of the pond, the branches swaying on the ice.

Duanfu was injured, and his movements were not as light as usual. He climbed the willow tree with Teng Yuyi on his back, and was about to jump on the outer wall. , A person appeared silently in the night. This person was wearing a dark cloak and stood silently on the outer wall. Duanfu

was taken aback and almost fell to the ground.

Teng Yuyi looked at the person, and his heart rose strongly. This man was completely covered from head to toe. Standing in the moonlight, he felt a sense of loneliness and loneliness.

This man’s internal strength was obviously very high, and even Duanfu didn’t notice it beforehand.

Duanfu turned his palm into a fist and fluttered towards him. The man hit the chest, Teng Yuyi knew that this was Duanfu’s common move, and pretended to sell a flaw, intending to lure the other party to take action. As long as the other party took the move, he would be hit hard. Duanfu used

it many times and never missed a shot.

The man remained motionless in the face of the fist wind, but a hand stuck out from the cloak, his fingers were slender, and something popped out with lightning speed.

Silver light flashed under the moonlight, and a ray of light flew towards him.

Duan Fu took Teng Yuyi and swept back, but the hidden weapon seemed to have used some sorcery, like the wind, and it was divided into two out of thin air. Duan Fu only narrowly avoided one of them, and the other could not be avoided. Buried into his right neck.

The man succeeded in a blow, raised his hand and pulled it gently, Duanfu snorted heavily, and his head was pulled to the right.

Teng Yuyi couldn’t help screaming. It turned out that the man’s hand was a silver thread, which had been buried in the flesh and blood of Duanfu’s neck. As long as he exerted force, Duanfu’s blood vessels would burst and die on the spot.

She rushed up with blood all over her body: “Who the hell are you! You let me go, I can give you something!”

The man stood tall on the courtyard wall and seemed to smile silently.

Teng Yuyi’s teeth trembled uncontrollably: “I know what you want, I found it when I arranged for my father’s funeral, this thing is now hidden by me in a village in the south of the city, if you want, just let me and mine go. My subordinate, I will take you to find it right away. But if you dare to hurt one of my subordinates again, you will never try to find that thing.”

The man slowly raised his hand, and Teng Yuyi’s heart became cold in an instant. This man was not here to find something at all. , is clearly to ask for his life.

The man gathered up the silver thread, and it seemed that he planned to solve Duanfu first, and then to solve her.

Teng Yuyi had never been so desperate, the silence around him was terrifying, and Cheng Bo and the others didn’t know if they were still alive.

It was too late to speak, Duan Fu let out a low growl, and forcibly hit the wire to the right, the sound of tearing flesh in his ear exploded, and Teng Yuyi’s face became hot, and a large amount of hot blood splashed on her face .

Her mind was empty, and the man seemed to be taken aback.

The blood on Duanfu’s neck was still spraying, and his face was instantly drowned in blood.

He couldn’t make a sound anymore, and took Teng Yuyi’s last breath to climb the wall. Not far from the outside was the street. Even if a barrier was set up outside the mansion, when he ran out, he would always run into Marquis Wu who was patrolling the street.

Teng Yuyi crouched on Duanfu’s generous back, tears streaming down her face, this old slave obviously couldn’t survive, and she ended up like this after being with her for ten years.

There is no other way for him. That strange person is equipped with sorcery, and his ferocity is different from ordinary people. If he does not do this, both of them will die at the hands of the strange person.

The man quickly regained his senses, slowly paced towards this side, raised his finger, this time aiming at Duanfu’s neck on the other side.

“Madam, let’s go…” Duanfu spit out a few words vaguely, put Teng Yuyi on the wall, tried his last strength, and slammed into the man’s calf.

Teng Yuyi gave Duanfu one last look with grief and indignation, and jumped down the wall with tears in her eyes, but before she fell to the ground, a force hit her back, and the man dragged her back again.

Teng Yuyi reached out and grabbed her, trying to drag the man down together, but while the man strangled Duanfu, the other hand fluttered her to the ice pond.

She grabbed both hands and said sadly, “Who the hell are you?!”

With a thud, Teng Yuyi fell into the pond, and the icy cold water choked into her lung tubes, making her whole body throbbing, and her heart seemed to be pinched and frozen. in the cavity.

Every time she tried to grab something, she would slip back to the center of the lake because she lost her center of gravity. The snow-white fox fur on her body was supposed to keep warm, but it became a burden in the water.

She struggled desperately. The two people sent by Cheng Bo should have already sent letters. Maybe someone will come soon. As long as they support for a while, there is hope of being rescued. She promised her grandpa that she would live a good life.

She was up and down in the water, trying to maintain her sanity, her body was getting colder and colder, her strength seemed to be drained, and her struggle gradually slowed down. The fox fur seemed to be full of water, like a huge white wing, supporting her to float in the water.

The ice water was so cold, Teng Yuyi became confused, and in a trance, she had returned to when she was a child, and she was in the arms of her mother.

She grabbed it happily, but there was still boundless ice water in her palm. Where’s the puppet? It’s not even around.

She felt extremely lonely, she really wanted to fall asleep, it was so cold, cold air was blowing out from every pore, her heart seemed to be tired, and the sound of blood flowing in her ears was getting slower and slower.

Suddenly, there was a strange voice, like someone fighting on the courtyard wall. The person who came here seemed to be very capable. Not only did he not get plotted, but he actually knew how to decipher the strange man’s sorcery.

There was a faint hope in Teng Yuyi’s heart. In order to arouse the man’s idea, he tried his best to raise his arm, but he only scratched it. The fox fur seemed to be entangled in the water plants in the pond, dragging her to sink.

The ice water chokes into her trachea again, and her heart begins to spasm. This time she has no strength, and she gasps weakly.

Someone ran towards the pond and jumped into the water. Judging from the man’s vigorous skills, he was vaguely a young man.

He should be a warm-hearted good person, and he jumped down without hesitation from such cold ice water. The boy swam very fast and was about to grab her.

The sky was fluttering, and it started to snow again. Teng Yuyi’s eyes were getting darker and darker. Thinking of the situation when her grandfather held her in the Nuan Pavilion watching the snow, the sadness spread in her chest, how many years, how many years did she not I saw the snow with my mother and father.

She swallowed silently, huge tears condensed in the corners of her eyes.

The surrounding water was surging, and the boy was getting closer and closer to her. The moment he grabbed her, she let out the last breath of her chest, and her eyes were fixed in her sockets.
