from the crane

It has been a long time since the last time I went away to Qiang Qi, and several years have passed since spring and autumn.

Jiang Yin felt that he was really old, and he was a bit powerless when dealing with the affairs of the Jiang family. Luo Shuang was by his side, but his appearance was still young. Jiang Yin often looked at him with deep eyes, as if he was reminiscing about something. Whenever at this time, Luo Shuang would look at him sideways.

The temples were already grey, but his eyes were still clear, Jiang Yin smiled at him and said nothing more.

He seemed to have become a god too, time did not leave traces on him, on the contrary, Jiang Yin's body deteriorated day by day.

Although he was dissatisfied with his old age, Jiang Yin was clear in his heart, and his time was numbered.

The snow falling outside the window was heavy, Jiang Yao has been relying on him for the past few days and refused to leave. He and Jiang Yihong built many snowmen in the yard. Jiang Yin put on his outer robe and looked out, seeing snowmen with different shapes Couldn't help laughing out loud, the birdcage on the promenade was shaking, and the parrot inside was arguing about something, Jiang Yin strode out of the house, her boots stepped on the fresh snow, she took every step very seriously, for fear of falling, now It's still early, Luozhu and the others haven't cleaned the courtyard yet.

"Three uncles!"

Jiang Yihong hurried over with a kite, he was already tall, Jiang Yin had to look up at him, a few years later, he has become a handsome young man, his words and deeds have a shadow of himself when he was young, Jiang Yin thought of this I couldn't help laughing, and asked softly, "Where's your mother?"

"Mother and my second uncle went to the street to buy candy. This year's Chinese New Year, Mother said to celebrate it."

Jiang Yihong bid farewell to Jiang Yin, and ran towards the bamboo garden with the kite in his hand. Jiang Yin shook his head and strode out, but met Liu Yi'an. He was a little surprised and asked suspiciously, "Who are you here today?" What are you looking for me for?"

Liu Yi'an turned to look at him, and handed the Dongzi in his hand to Jiang Yin. Jiang Yin weighed the bag for a while, and opened it to find that there were some candies inside.

"Wu Cuo sent me a letter yesterday. He said that he traveled to Yingzhou and married a girl."

Jiang Yin was taken aback when he heard this, but then laughed again, "My dear, he is good, and finally someone can take care of him."

"Speaking of which, you don't have a gentle lady by your side, when will we be able to eat your wedding candy?" Liu Yi'an took out the candy from the bag, Jiang Yin frowned when he saw it, and slapped him , "It is enough to have Luo Shuang by my side."

"Yes, yes, you have a deep affection for him." Liu Yi'an took a step back and said to Jiang Yin, "Now that you are an old man, you still have to rely on him not to let go."

Jiang Yin shook his head and said nothing, looking at the candies in the bag, he suddenly remembered an old incident.

When they came back from Qiang Qi, they were invited into the palace by the little emperor, and when they strode into the palace, Jiang Yin suddenly felt a little uneasy.

All the ministers knelt on both sides, and only the little emperor stood on the high platform. He was dressed in a luxurious black robe, a jade ring around his waist, and a crown on his head. His face was blocked by bead curtains, making it difficult to guess his expression.

"Liu Qing, Mr. Jiang, you guys are a bit late."

After a ceremony, Liu Yi'an took Jiang Yin to his seat, and the little emperor ordered the banquet to begin. The sound of silk and bamboo was melodious, accompanied by the dexterous dancers, Liu Yi'an poured him a glass of wine, but Jiang Yin was not interested. Heart, sit upright.

Seeing his action, Liu Yi'an raised his eyebrows, and said to him with a bit of flattery, "My third master, you should drink some wine anyway."

"I'm not in the mood." Jiang Yin glanced at Liu Yi'an, and said coldly, Liu Yi'an shook his head and sighed softly.

"You're getting more and more boring, and now you look like a little old man."

The music stopped, the dancers pushed down one after another, Liu Yi'an was about to say something, but heard the clear voice of the little emperor.

"Master Jiang, I heard that you just came back from Qiang relatives not long ago."

Jiang Yin got up when he heard the words, came to the middle of the hall and bowed, and responded politely, "That's right, I'm going to Qiang Qi to find my elder brother."

"So it's like this. You didn't see anyone on the way?" The little emperor clapped his hands, and then a servant lowered his head and brought a wooden box to Jiang Yin. Jiang Yin took the wooden box, and there Inside saw a blue butterfly.

Jiang Yin understood what he wanted to ask, but Liu Yi'an's heart was in his throat. He secretly winked at Jiang Yin, but all of this was taken into consideration by the little emperor. With a chuckle, he got up and pushed away from him Cloth's maid.

"Mr. Jiang is a smart man, so he doesn't know what I want. Speaking of which, your Jiang family is loyal to Chi Yan. If you are willing to enter an official career, I will definitely use it."

"You are serious. Chi Yan is the home of the minister, so of course no outsider will get involved." Jiang Yin watched Lan Lingdie's brows furrowed tightly, but the little emperor put his hands behind his back unhurriedly, and softly asked the ministers to continue. Dine.

Everyone bowed their heads and spoke, not daring to disobey. Jiang Yin stood in the middle of the hall and heard the little emperor say, "My sister is a narrow-minded lunatic. You may have heard her story. Although I hate her, my blood is thicker than her. Shui, kindly asked her to stay in the mansion, but she didn't appreciate it, and escaped to make arrangements for her own brother with outsiders."

His words were flat, as if he was talking about something irrelevant. Just as Jiang Yin was thinking about how to respond to his words, he suddenly changed his tone and continued to speak viciously.

"This is a matter between me and her. You know that I have always been reasonable. I just hate outsiders meddling in my family affairs. Even one from the Yu family, you know what will happen to him." He stepped off the throne, his tone He softened, "Liu Qing is sensible, since he is sensible, I will love the Liu family very much, look at his son, he is now considered a decent gentleman."

Jiang Yin raised his eyes to look at Liu Yi'an, then retracted his eyes and said nothing, the little emperor stood still with his sword on his back, and said, "I see you are a smart person, so I might as well tell you some old things, you have seen my mother too, and you know why she died in battle Northwest? Because my good sister colluded with the Gongsun family and the Qiang relatives to work carefully, and deliberately delayed the general's report, so that the army facing the battle had no backup."

Speaking of this, he seemed a little sad, holding the hilt of his sword as if fighting against someone.

"She forced my father to order the Yang family to be burned down. What's ridiculous is that my mother didn't know the news before she died."

The sword came out of its sheath, and the little emperor threw it out viciously. The sword pierced deeply into the deep red lacquered wood of the hall. A maid raised her head and pulled the sword out.

Liu Yi'an looked at the man in surprise, but the little emperor's expression didn't change, as if he had expected this scene a long time ago, he walked down the high platform slowly, with a smile on his face, not the slightest bit surprised.

"My good sister, you must be very happy, because I was so sad that I almost died with my mother."

Bai Zhao, who had removed the disguise, looked at him coldly, clenched the sword tightly in his hand, and there was no joy in seeing his own brother on his face.

She strode towards the little emperor and said, "But you didn't. The only thing you care about is yourself, little monster. You used me to poison you and pulled me down from the throne. You couldn't wait to clean up my throne on the first day you took the throne." power."

"I only keep the useful ones. If the Yu family is disobedient, they will break his arms. If the Jiang family is restless, they will teach them a little lesson. I have always been like this." The little emperor sneered, stopped and said, "That The wild boy is dead, right, I'm really curious, what are you trying to do when you break into my place alone?"

"He's my brother, don't go too far, little monster." Bai Zhao stared at him, but he turned to him and pretended to be innocent, "What kind of brother, I've never heard of it, he's just an outcast. It's just worthless trash."

"White Feather!"

"Bai Zhao!"

The two were in a stalemate, and neither would give in. Jiang Yin was trapped between the two of them, not knowing what to do, and was about to retreat to his original position, but heard the little emperor speak again.

"You're a gambler, and you played a big one this time." He smiled and said to Jiang Yin, "Young Master Jiang! Please listen to me."

Jiang Yin's body froze, Liu Yi'an also held his breath and focused on the little emperor's movements, Bai Zhao gritted his teeth and looked at the little emperor, the more she behaved like this, the happier the little emperor was, it was a joy to see her helpless.

"People from Si Tiantai told me in the past few days that Venus is bright, located to the east of Chi Yan, the main emperor star, and the owner of the blue spirit butterfly, which happens to be in accordance with the sky."

Jiang Yin's eyelids twitched when he heard the words, and he had a bad premonition. As expected, he heard the little emperor say, "You Jiang family, when it's time to serve you, the new master of Lan Lingdie is your nephew."

Like a bolt from the blue, the expressions on Jiang Yin and Liu Yi'an's faces changed again and again, but the little emperor didn't care about their reactions, and instead taunted Bai Zhao, "You want to rely on the Jiang family to turn around, right? What a pity, your game of chess Doomed to lose."

"This must be a mistake. I've never seen a blue butterfly beside Hong'er." Jiang Yin bit her lower lip and said this without hesitation, but the little emperor waved his hand and retorted, "No Make a mistake, owners of blue spirit butterflies, they will emerge from their cocoons when winter passes."

Really crazy!

Is it possible that their family will be buried with them lunatics?

The wavering on Jiang Yin's face was seen by Bai Zhao, she raised her eyebrows and said softly, "Give him to me, I know how to make him live past 28 years old."

"If she knows the way, why didn't that wild boy live past the age of 28? Jiang Qing, you are a citizen of Chiyan, and you should help me. Your father and mother are loyal ministers. Could it be that you want to help usurpers?"

No one in this hall dared to speak anymore. When Jiang Yin frowned and hesitated, he suddenly saw a little servant rushing in in a panic.

There was blood on his face, and he fell down as soon as he entered the palace, but he got up immediately and said in a panic, "It's not good, Qiang Qi attacked the city!"

Bai Zhao clenched the sword tightly and looked at the little emperor mockingly, but the little emperor looked at him calmly, and said softly, "Come prepared, you are really difficult, sister."

"I never do useless work. Even if there is no blue spirit butterfly, I can already bring you down. Chang Huan's eyeliner, I am no less than you."

"Yeah, you always want to put me to death, but you are my sister, I can't hate you." The little emperor turned around and clapped his hands, and a group of guards wearing black masks poured into the hall from outside the palace gate , Bai Zhao had a trace of unwillingness on her face, but she quickly changed her strategy and swung her sword to chop off the little emperor's head.

The little emperor bowed her head and said nothing, her sword was blocked by the guards, and accompanied by a crisp impact sound, the sword dropped from her hand.

The little emperor turned to look at her, and said in a low voice, "I've had enough fun, it's time to clean up the mess."

"You are incompetent, Bai Yu! You only rely on your mother's dark horse to gain power. If you lose this thing one day, you will definitely be pulled down from the high platform!"

Bai Zhao clenched his fists tightly, with hatred in his eyes, but the little emperor looked at him calmly, and said softly, "This is my country, I will live and I will die, you are just a loser, what qualifications do you have?" Are you judging me?"

The disputes between these two caused Chi Yan to suffer continuously, Jiang Yin frowned and looked at the two of them with only disgust in his heart.

The two of them are only for themselves, they are both villains, the villains bite each other, but want others to lose their lives!

Desperately wanting to leave here, but they wouldn't let him go, Bai Zhao bit his lower lip and said desperately, "Young Master Jiang, you must help me!"

"I don't want to help anyone!" Jiang Yin yelled this sentence loudly, causing Liu Yi'an to gasp, and the little emperor turned to look at him with scrutiny in his eyes.

But Bai Zhao didn't care, and continued, "The son next to you, you care a lot, right? He's my brother's old friend, so there's no reason why you can't help me."

When Luo Shuang's name was mentioned, Jiang Yin was taken aback for a moment, but she heard her say again, "Aren't you curious? He fell into Xuanhe before, why is he alive now? Let me tell you, he's dead long ago! He's dead now! Turned into a Rakshasa, but a life-threatening evil spirit!"

"impossible!"

Jiang Yin subconsciously touched his waist, but he couldn't get the sword anyway. He remembered that the sword had been handed over, and became annoyed. This reaction was seen by everyone, and his weakness was already clear.

"You want to be with him, right? Give me your nephew, and I can help you."

"Jiang Qing, I want to remind you that she is a woman full of lies, you will ruin yourself if you believe in her." The little emperor seemed to have thought of something, and then relaxed, he looked at Liu Yi'an, and then at Jiang Yin , "If you help her, your Jiang family will die, how about it?"

"Hong'er is not a bargaining chip, I can't decide his whereabouts." Jiang Yin said coldly, and bowed, "I'm not a courtier, but a businessman, and today I've won the favor of the Holy One, I'm sincerely afraid, it's not too late, so I'll take my leave! "

"You don't help me, and you don't help her. I want to remind you that you have chosen the worst path."

"I don't want to get involved in this dispute anymore. The Jiang family has already lost too much." Jiang Yin looked up at the emperor and said solemnly, "My elder brother died for Xuecheng, my mother died in court battles, and my second brother defended Yingzhou. My father has long been martyred, right and wrong, my Jiang family is worthy of Chi Yan, now, we should leave."

"Don't be stupid, you can't escape." Bai Zhao chuckled lightly, pointing at the emperor and said hysterically, "If he can't get it, he will destroy it!"

"My lord!" Jiang Yin raised his voice and said to the emperor, "Please help my Jiang family."

"The Jiang family is worthless, only a blue spirit butterfly can be used as a bargaining chip." The little emperor looked at him with raised eyebrows, and said calmly, "Why should I help you if you can't help me?"

"For your people, for the common people in the world." Jiang Yin said something that he didn't even believe, which caused the little emperor to burst into laughter. He came to Jiang Yin's side, looked at him carefully for a while, and then said, "Mr. Jiang He is a straightforward person, if you can promise me that Lan Lingdie will not be used by others, I will fulfill you."

"Of course." Jiang Yin gritted his teeth.

It's been a long time since this happened, but it always made Jiang Yin unforgettable. Seeing him in a daze, Liu Yi'an stretched out his hand and shook it in front of his eyes. Jiang Yin regained his senses slightly, and then he blamed, "What are you doing?"

"You are getting more and more boring. You stay in the study all day and don't come out for a walk. I heard from Yao'er that last time you were busy correcting the ledger after recovering from a serious illness. You coughed up blood in the middle of the night."

Jiang Yin listened to Liu Yi'an's rebuke and shook his head, pursed his lips and said dissatisfiedly, "Listen to her nonsense, my body is still strong."

"It doesn't matter if you don't accept your old age." Liu Yi'an smiled, and said again, "Come and drink with me tonight, and let's go to the ferry tomorrow to pick up Wucuo, how about it?"

Jiang Yin blinked, and said yes, the two chatted for a while before leaving, Jiang Yin strode back to the bamboo garden, suddenly saw a butterfly kite flying high, Jiang Yihong saw him hurriedly waved to him, Jiang Yin Looking at the butterflies swaying in the sky, I suddenly feel like a lifetime away.

Jiang Yihong came to him quickly, Jiang Yin looked at him and couldn't help but ask, "Hong'er, what do you want to do when you grow up?"

Jiang Yihong blinked, then laughed, without any haze on his immature face, he said softly, "Hong'er is still young, so I never thought about this problem."

Hearing this, Jiang Yin smiled. At this moment, he felt that it was not good for Honger to be too much like himself. Such innocence would be exploited. As Mr. Lin said, if one is proud and incompetent, he will only be cut to pieces None left.

Patting him on the shoulder, Jiang Yin said in a deep voice, "In a few days, I want to travel far."

"Travel? Where are you going? Third uncle." Jiang Yihong looked at his uncle suspiciously, but saw his eyes fall into the distance, as if he was in a trance, and called him softly again, before he came back to his senses. With drooping eyes, he said, "Go to the north of Chi Yan."

"But to the north of Chiyan is the sea." Facing Jiang Yihong's question, Jiang Yin muttered to himself, "Butterflies will fly across the sea."

"Third Uncle, what are you talking about? Hong'er doesn't understand."

"If you don't understand it, you don't understand it. The kite must be put away, and don't let it float too far."

Jiang Yin walked forward slowly, and saluted Mr. Lin who was standing in the courtyard. He still looked calm and calm. Jiang Yin looked at Mr. Lin, but his heart was full of another person.

Jiang Yin looked up at Mr. Lin, and said softly, "I've actually been wanting to ask, Mr. Lin, are you a god or not?"

Mr. Lin was taken aback when he heard the words, Jiang Yin saw it, and said again, "You know everything, but you are happy to see us mortals being played around."

"The way of heaven is unspeakable." Mr. Lin looked down at Jiang Yin, and said softly, "Your agreement has been fulfilled, but then, how do you take the Jiang family to the next step?"

"I'm not leaving." Jiang Yin looked at Mr. Lin, lifted his robe and knelt down, "Mr. Lin, I don't want to leave anymore."

Mr. Lin was a little surprised, but when he saw Jiang Yin's decisive gaze, he understood.

"Hong'er, he should do something big. Everyone is looking forward to his death. This dead situation needs to be broken by himself."

"You really have the heart? He's still a child."

Jiang Yin shook his head and said wearily, "It's time for him to go on the road, and it's time for me to stop."

Mr. Lin sighed softly, as if he wanted to say something, but Jiang Yin turned and left without staying.

The past is broken, and this story should also be summed up.

Jiang Yin came to the ferry and boarded the long-distance boat. The fisherman asked him where he was going. He looked into the distance deeply, and suddenly heard someone calling his name. Looking back, he saw that familiar person.

The world turned upside down for a while, and he felt as if he was ten years younger again.

He looked at the man and called out his name softly.
