Bamboo horse, bamboo horse, cheating and fraud

I woke up before dawn.

It seems that Yunxuan has not slept all night.I squinted at him and saw that he was wiping "Izumo" and "Closing Moon" with a white cloth.After the bones of the two fans had been wiped clean, he placed them side by side in front of him, and bowed slowly to the north.

This time, I worshiped Hao Dang's teacher, and also Youyou Tianxia.

There was a stabbing pain in my heart, and my mind was in chaos, but I could only continue to pretend to be asleep.

After a while, there was a loud noise, and the east had turned white. I opened my eyes in a daze, and saw about seven or eight people sitting not far from us, chattering, although I couldn’t make out which dialect it was. , but it can be roughly distinguished as a northern accent.

There are old and young people in that group, the youngest is only seven or eight years old, and the hair of the older ones is all white.

I looked at Yunxuan: "The one who fled?"

Yun Rong nodded: "It should be."

Resting is impossible now, and we didn't want to meddle in other people's business, so we packed our things and planned to leave.Unexpectedly, a child suddenly ran over from that group of people, pulled at the corner of Yunxuan's clothes, and said in a low voice, "Brother, you're hungry!"

Seeing that he was pitiful, Yun Rong took out some of the dry food in his bag and gave it to him.Unexpectedly, after the child finished eating, he was not in a hurry to leave, but turned around and pointed behind him: "Mother, Daddy, I'm hungry!"

Yun Rong hesitated for a while, but still gave them all the dry food in the bag, and then the child happily ran back and shouted: "There is something to eat, there is something to eat!"

I sighed, pretending to be sorry: "Good old man, it seems that you will only be hungry at noon!"

He stared straight at my back.

I covered my luggage: "Whatever to look at, don't even think about it!"

He simply stopped talking to me, and grabbed my bag with his hand.

I was anxious and jumped up to grab it.He patted my head and smiled triumphantly.

I felt that I was being taken advantage of, and yelled dissatisfiedly: "What are you doing, you are not petting kittens and puppies!"

His eyebrows raised even more: "Aren't you just a kitten and puppy?"

I was so angry that I blew my nose and stared: "No, you took advantage of me, you have to make it up to me!"

"Okay, tell me, how do you compensate?"

"Accompany me back to Beijing."

I saw his smile gradually solidify on his face.

I pulled him aside to sit down, and slowly said to him: "Don't worry, let's discuss in the long term."

He was not in a good mood, but he still said patiently: "Didn't I already talk to you yesterday, you don't need to persuade me anymore."

I looked him straight in the eyes: "Yunxuan, we are not children anymore, besides, I believe you all understand these truths, when the country is in crisis, a man should stand up, how can we live on the sidelines for the sake of our children? Wait until the situation subsides." , whether you want to wander the world or go back to the mountains and forests, I will follow you all my life."

He sighed: "But I have been away for five years, and you have made such a big noise for me. This time the enemy is more scheming, and you are still clumsy all day long. It is even more dangerous to follow me. How can you make me rest assured?"

As soon as I heard that he was willing to let go, I hurriedly chased after the victory: "You have a good idea, who said that I will follow you? I just came back from the gate of hell, and I know that my life is important, so I don't want to follow you like those idiots in the storybook." What about this dangerous person. I’ll just go to the capital and set up a small Taoist temple to help those who are fleeing. I’m useless anyway, so why don’t you cause trouble... How about it, General?”

He was helpless: "You have all the plans for your next life, but now you are hypocritically asking for my opinion. Xu Zifang, I haven't seen you in five years, you are so cunning!"

Knowing that he agreed, I went up to pester him again: "Okay, then I will wish the general a victory in advance! After this battle is over, we will return home!"

He turned his head and pecked lightly on my forehead: "It's a deal, wait for me!"

I laughed: "It's a deal."

When he returned to Beijing, he had the mission of defending his family and the country on his back, so naturally he was not as leisurely as before.We hurried on, and arrived in the capital after only a few sunrises and sunsets.Along the way, I met many fleeing people. When they learned that Yun Sui and I knew that the capital was about to fall and went there without hesitation, they all expressed suspicion that our brains had been kicked by donkeys.

When Yan Yin heard that we were coming, he was so happy that he cooked sheep and slaughtered cattle, wishing to give up half of the country to us.Yun Sui advised him: It's better not to be too public at this juncture.I do express my understanding.As soon as Xiao Shun left, there was really no one in his court.Although Yan Yin has been the emperor for more than ten years, he is still not much older than us, and his ability is really limited.The capital was changing, and on the one hand, he had to fight wits and bravery with those foreigners, and on the other hand, he had to guard against the traitors and vandals of the imperial court. It was really miserable.

It just so happened that the leader of the imperial guards had broken his arm in yet another fierce attack by the enemy, so Yun Rong had some shit luck, and got a good official position as soon as he came.

Yun Rong didn't think so, he still felt unconvinced, and euphemistically said: "I'm so handsome and capable, it's a shame to be the leader of the imperial guards." After instilling in him for the first time the profound thought that "you can't just look at your face when fighting a war, and you can't lead a soldier just by relying on martial arts", he finally blocked my mouth with practical actions.Of course, this is all for later.

When we left the palace that day, Yan Yin personally sent us to the gate of the palace.When parting, he reluctantly asked: "Master Xu... that..."

I saw that he was hesitant to speak, and I was afraid that his ninety-five supreme being would be suffocated by a few words, so I quickly said: "Your Majesty, it doesn't matter if you say it."

After a long while, he squeezed out a sentence: "You two... you have come to help me, I am very pleased... I have sent people to find... er... I have found a few good-looking little Taoist nuns... I hope you two will accept..."

I suppressed the turbulent waves in my heart, and refused under Yun Rong's knife-like gaze: "Thank you for the emperor's kindness...just...just be careful for those who practice Taoism to be pure in heart, I'm afraid I will disappoint the emperor's kindness!"

Yan Yin let out a long sigh: "Whether it's good or bad... Is the stunning little boy Taoist interested?"

I almost choked on a mouthful of old blood.

Although we kept saying to Yun Sui that "if the relationship lasts for a long time, how can it be day and night", but in fact, even though Yun Sui and I have returned to the capital, we are still living a day and night.He insisted on taking the time to visit me every day, so as to reassure me.I scolded him for only caring about love all day long and not caring about the country's danger at all, but he never contradicted me.

That evening, I saw two familiar figures, one fat and one thin, at the entrance of my small Taoist temple.
