Bright Moonlit Night

In the farm on the outskirts of Beijing, Fu Ming's small courtyard is still there. Before the expedition, Jin Yi paid a nearby peasant woman to clean it on time.Jin Yi took the key to open the big lock of the courtyard door, pushed the door and entered the courtyard, looked around and was familiar with the scenery, and felt a sense of waking up from a dream.He tied the horse under the garden tree, went to the well in the backyard to water the flowers and trees, drank a few sips himself, put down the gourds, and went out.

This year, the weather is good and the crops in the field are growing well. Jin Yi was walking on the field, and met two or three farmers who came and went. Those farmers also recognized him as a close relative of the former owner of the village. Why didn't we see each other after such a long time, but we were frightened by the majesty he showed unconsciously, we only exchanged greetings with him twice, and then walked away separately.

Jin Yi walked along the road, his footsteps became faster and faster, until he was about to turn into the mountain pass, but he couldn't move his pace like a countryman.He stood for a long time before taking another step, and soon he saw the grave that had broken his liver and gallbladder.

This time, instead of staring at and touching the tombstone, he drew out his sword and started digging up the soil on the grave.Digging without a break until the inner and outer coffins in the tomb were exposed.He inserted the sword into the loess piled up on the side, waited for his breath to calm down, and then used all his strength to push open the stone coffin and pry open the wooden nails on the coffin.After doing this, his movements stopped again, and he gently placed his hands on the wooden coffin.

Finally made up his mind, he closed his eyes and opened the coffin, and opened his eyes again the moment the coffin lid was opened.

There are no bones in the coffin, but only a broken string.

Jin Yi breathed a sigh of relief and picked up the qin in the coffin. He recognized this qin. It was this qin that he asked for Fu Ming from the then third prince as a reward in Cuiwei Mountain.

Although this piano is expensive, it has never been named. After Fu Ming got it, he named it Shi Xin, to match his Sui Lin sword.Seeing this zither, Jin Yi recalled the days when they were in harmony with each other with zither and sword.

Now that the strings of the qin have been broken, Fu Ming buried it here, is it intended to bid farewell to the past and break out of the cocoon for a new life?

Jin Yi put himself in the shoes of Fu Ming and imagined Fu Ming's mood when the string was broken and Fu Ming's determination when he buried the piano that day.

He took off his coat, spread it on the nearby grass, placed the qin carefully, and then went back to cover the coffin again, and filled it with soil again.After some work, the time has passed.He returned to the small courtyard with the qin, packed himself up, and rode into the city with the qin.

After inquiring about the best craftsman in the city who was good at making pianos, Jin Yi went there non-stop.When the old master saw Jin Yi's Qin, his eyes lit up.When Jin Yi asked him if he could teach him to repair the broken string, the master immediately suppressed his smile, blew his beard and stared at him and scolded him for not knowing how to cherish it, but he had no brains to further destroy such a good piano.Jin Yi was embarrassed by the master's words, so he gave up the idea of ​​repairing the piano by himself, entrusted it to the master, and agreed on a day to pick up the piano.

After Jin Yi came out from the master's place, he didn't go back to the house directly, but went to Tao's house instead.

When Fu Ming left in the past, Ren Lan didn't know the inside story, and what happened later, Ren Lan didn't know at all, but she cared about Fu Ming after all. Tao Yang also regarded Fu Ming as half friend and half benevolent, so he asked many ways, and finally found out about Fu Ming. news of death.At that time, Renlan was pregnant, and when she heard the bad news, her fetus became angry.Since then, the matter of Fu Ming has become a regret in the hearts of the couple.This time Jin Yi made a triumphant return, and Ren Lan went back to her natal home to visit her sick grandmother and father, and congratulated her elder brother, who was promoted to rank, and asked Jin Yi if she had gone to Fu Ming's grave to tell him about her safe return.

Jin Yi knows that not only he has not forgotten the old people, but also those who have received his love and gratitude.

When Jin Yi arrived at Tao's house, Ren Lan was teaching the child how to eat with chopsticks with the help of the nanny. The person who had informed him that his uncle had arrived. Because Tao Yang hadn't returned from his shop tour, he hurriedly handed the child over to the nanny and went to the house by himself. Jin Yi is entertained in the main hall.

After the two met, Ren Lan asked: "Brother is here at this time, but what's the rush?"

Jin Yi nodded, paused, and said, "I'm here to tell you something."

"What's the matter?" Seeing Jin Yi's serious expression, Ren Lan was also concerned.

Jin Yidao: "Your brother Ming - he is still alive."

Ren Lan trembled when she heard the words, she couldn't believe it and couldn't suppress her surprise, "Brother, you said...you mean that brother is still alive? Is this true? It's absolutely true?"

"Well. It's absolutely true." Until now, when he said these words, Jin Yi felt the emotion that was about to surge out of his heart. Tell Ren Lan one by one.

Unknowingly, Ren Lan's face was full of tears, and the corners of her mouth turned up again, "Brother Ming is still alive, living well, that's really great, great!" Ren Lan couldn't help covering her face with a handkerchief, Wept bitterly.Since she got married, she had rarely been so disrespectful, but at this moment, she couldn't control it no matter what.

After calming down, Ren Lan asked Jin Yi what his plan was since he knew that Fu Ming was Fang Fan and he was in Liangzhou.

Jin Yidao: "My sister, you know the situation of my grandmother now. I think - after serving my grandmother, I asked the emperor to go to Liangzhou to guard the customs for three years."

Ren Lan originally wanted to ask if it was a good opportunity for Jin Yi to ask himself to go to a place far away from the capital to guard the customs, but she immediately changed her mind, after going through all kinds of things in the past, her brother must have understood something in his heart It is the most important thing, and you can make a choice without entanglement.

In the end, Ren Lan didn't try to dissuade her, she just said: "On the day when Eldest Brother and Brother Ming come back together, my younger sister will definitely prepare some fine wine, and then I will catch up with the two elder brothers."

Jin Yi smiled in relief.

As expected by the doctor, Mrs. Jin drove the crane west before the leaves of the trees outside the house turned yellow and fell.

After taking care of his grandmother's funeral, Jin Yi asked the emperor to guard the pass.The emperor accepted the document, but did not approve or reject it. Instead, he sent someone to invite Jin Yi into the palace.

When the emperor was still the prince, Jin wanted to follow him and serve him. First, he was ashamed of being imprisoned and failed to save him. Later, Jin used his life and death to save the people and drive away the enemy. The emperor not only relied heavily on him, but also had a rare relationship between the monarch and his ministers. Sincerely, now knowing that he wanted to go to guard that desolate border, apart from being puzzled, he also felt reluctant, so he wanted to keep him in Beijing and continue to assist him, and if there was another war in another year, it would not be too late to send him out again.

Jin persuaded him with kind words to the emperor, but he was unmoved because he had made up his mind, but he also knew that if he did not tell the truth, it would be difficult for the emperor to let him go, not to mention that the emperor intended to show favor. General, please guard the gate for no reason, and it is inevitable that someone with a heart will make a big fuss about it.Therefore, Jin wanted to tell Fu Ming that he met Fu Ming again in Liangzhou.

When the emperor heard about this, he couldn't help feeling emotional, "Back then in Cuiwei Mountain, the queen also said that although Aiqing was forced to marry a man at first, it was a blessing in disguise. I really envy others. Later, Aiqing was framed and imprisoned, and he managed to rescue him. I thought that after this tribulation, Aiqing and him would become more affectionate. Who knows that a good relationship is easy to be jealous... But now it is actually a bright future, and I am also happy for Aiqing! If the queen knows about it, she must also be happy. She also sighed endlessly for the matter between you two!"

Jin Yi replied: "I thank the emperor for your kindness."

The emperor patted him on the shoulder, "I believe in Aiqing, since that's the case, I will allow Aiqing to go to guard the gate, and when you return with the beauty in your arms, don't forget to return to the court as soon as possible."

Jin Yi knelt down to thank him.

After the Double Ninth Festival, Jin Yi led the emperor's order to go out of Beijing to the border.

Before leaving, Zhao Yan, who knew the inside story, wanted to go with him, but he would be away, and his family members had to stay in Beijing. Although Jin Yi also wanted to take Zhao Yan with him, maybe in the face of Yan Er who loved him so much In the first place, Fu Ming would be shaken a little bit, but Zhao Yan was really not allowed to go with him.

Zhaoyan sent his father off for a long time, until he was far away from the city gate. Jin Yi sent him back, and again told him: "Take good care of the Jin family for my father, study hard, practice martial arts diligently, and wait for my father to return. !"

Zhao Yan solemnly agreed, and said: "When the time comes, I hope the two fathers will come back together."

"Okay!" Jin Yi laughed loudly, and his laughter went straight to the sky.
