Leaning on the fence to watch the birth of the moon

Feng Siding and Taotie searched for several days, but they didn't even figure out where Hua Changlian was imprisoned.It's not that the two of them are confused, it's because there are too many places in the capital, but there are three so-called death row prisons, one is the imperial prison, one is the government prison that belongs to the capital, and the other is in the northern barracks. in the prison.

However, what they are most familiar with, the heavenly prison mentioned by people in the Jianghu, is not a death row at all, that place is specially used to detain the emperor's relatives.

And if Hua Changlian is not a death row inmate, it will be even more difficult to find.Because there are more places where people are locked up, and people may not even be locked up in the city at all.After all, the capital does not refer to this city alone. A total of nine cities and eighteen counties are actually the capital, and within this range, there are countless places where prisoners are held.

The two of them didn't dare to move too much, for fear of attracting people's attention, which would only increase the trouble, so they found Shiwu from the first day of the new year.When the two of them came home one day, there was a stranger dressed as a servant, driving a carriage, and said, "The master is kind, and I want to discuss with the two of you about friends."

The servants who came to invite me here are respectful in speech and gentle in demeanor, a row of everyone's demeanor.But looking at his clothes, he is clearly a man, but his face is white - no matter how carefully an ordinary man arranges himself, his chin is also blue, but this man's chin is tender and white.His walking posture is also weird, with his legs crossed, twisting and twisting...

On the streets of the capital, there are many fake eunuchs who come out to hang out, and the two of them have seen it before.This servant... is obviously also a eunuch.

The two looked at each other, knowing that what they did was still too conspicuous, and it still attracted the attention of interested people.And the ones who can be served by eunuchs are either the Ninth Five-Year Honor, the relatives of the emperor, or some favored minister.No matter who it is, the two of them are not willing to disturb them.

Seeing their hesitation, the eunuch smiled slightly and said, "The master doesn't mean anything malicious, but he just knows that the two friends are worried, so he is willing to help. In addition, the master is worried about an elder..."

"Marquis of Changning" flashed in the minds of both of them at the same time, but Feng Siding was considered a seasoned veteran, while Gong Zi was mostly paralyzed except when facing food and Feng Siting, so that worry was not brought to the surface at that time.

But now that the other party has said so, the two of them probably have no choice but to leave if they want to, so they can only walk with the eunuch.

The two got into the car, and the eunuch drove the car and took the two to the back door of a house, where there were also a few men dressed as ordinary servants, but one could tell from a glance that they had good martial arts skills guarding them.Seeing them coming, he immediately opened the door, and the carriage drove directly into the courtyard.

The carriage finally stopped outside a courtyard gate in the mansion, the eunuch went in to report, the two got out of the car and waited outside the gate for a while, then an older one came out... also an eunuch.

The two of them went in with the eunuch. This small courtyard should have a good view in spring and summer, but now it is bleak in mid-winter. The only advantage is that the person standing in the courtyard can be seen at a glance——although that person is already like an adult man She usually wears a crown, but her face looks young and tight, and there are still some juvenile plumpness on her cheeks, at most sixteen or seventeen.

Seeing that the two had arrived, the man immediately stood up with a smile and cupped his hands: "Feng Shaoxia, Gong Shaoxia, how are you two?"

Feng Siding and Gong Zi Nana bowed their hands to return the salute, but they still couldn't figure out who the other party was.

The man chuckled, he was a bit mischievous like a boy next door, people couldn't help feeling close, but the words he said didn't make people close at all: "I am the current emperor."

"..." What should I do, kneel down and shout long live?

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid~" The emperor laughed again, "Although I am not a good person."

Both of them were surprised, did anyone say that about themselves?Not to mention being an emperor evaluating himself like this...

The emperor ignored the fright of the two ordinary people and continued to say: "But I still know what it means to repay kindness. Uncle Lu is kind to me. Therefore, I will let him be safe and protect his Lu family." , The Hua family will not be extinct. I came to you today just to ask, Uncle Lu... is he okay?"

"Very good." The two pondered for a while, and Feng Siding stood up and answered with a bow.

"That's good." The emperor nodded, turned around and put the table on the stone pier, with one arm resting on the stone table and his chin resting on the palm of his hand, "I'm not afraid to tell you, the two of you turned around at the gate of hell. Circled. Because I have thought about finding Uncle Lu's whereabouts from you."

"Your Majesty, it's useless to ask. The two of us only know that Lord Hou is far away, but we don't know where he is going." Feng Siding didn't panic, and replied calmly.

"Oh?" The emperor was taken aback for a moment, then nodded, "That would be even better, lest one day I can't bear it..."

The emperor bowed his head there, seemingly talking to himself.Gong and Feng are a little strange, and they haven't seen Marquis Changning and such a beautiful woman. How come the two generations of emperors can't forget him? ——It's just ordinary people's simple curiosity about gossip about superiors, and it's not that serious.

After a while, the emperor finally woke up from his thoughts, stood up from the stone pier, and waved to the two of them: "The boy from the Hua family is in that room, if you want to find it, go find it." Him." Then he stopped talking and walked out.

Of course, the two of them didn't talk too much, they went to the wing that the emperor pointed out, and before they could knock on the door, the people inside opened it.

Hua Changlian is still Hua Changlian, but it's a little different. The red marks on his eyelids are always fancy painted, but now they are gone. A simple blue cloth turban wraps his hair, and he is also dressed in rough clothes. The biggest change It's the tattoo on his left cheek...

That is a completely different concept from the embroidery on Mo Xian's body, the punishment of tattooing, the seal of a sinner.

"Dingbei?" There are two words written on Hua Changlian's face, which should also be the name of the army he will be assigned to.

"Yeah." Hua Changlian nodded in response, only then did Gong Zi realize that he had accidentally read it out, felt rude, and felt a little embarrassed.But before he could apologize, Feng Siding had already spoken out.

"It seems that your life is indeed safe."

"Yes." Hua Changlian lowered her head.

"That's good." Feng Siding walked over with a smile on his lips, but...

"Snapped--!"

With a crisp and loud sound, Gong Zi trembled in fright.

"You owe me this, and it will be later." Withdrawing his hand, Feng Siding turned around and left the room.

Hua Changlian was slapped so that her head turned to one side, and it took a long time for her tinnitus to return to normal. She wiped her lips, turned her head and saw Gong Zi still standing there: "Why don't you leave?" His tone was obviously not friendly.

"You... did you really change your mind at the beginning? Or..."

"If I told you, I knew there would be such a day, so I did it on purpose, would you give me someone?"

"will not."

"Then why are you talking nonsense?" Hua Changlian found a chair and sat down, "Why don't you go back and live?"

Gong Zi sighed, turned around and left, and when he went out, he saw Feng Siding standing at the door waiting for him: "What else do you want to ask inside?"

"I want to untangle your knot."

"I have a knot in my heart, but it doesn't matter if I can't solve it. Like him, if he lied in the scene at the beginning, it would be deceiving me; if it was true, he would betray me. Whether it is true or false , My fate with him has also been severed, since the ending has already been decided, why do I still have to worry about it, and ask for trouble?"

"I was wrong, I... I thought I was right."

"It's good that you know, there is no need to stay in the capital now, we will leave tomorrow."

"it is good."

"Miyazu."

"Ok?"

"Sleep together tonight?" Feng Siding quietly took Gong Zi's hand when he was discharged from the hospital.

Gong Zi was taken aback, didn't they already sleep together?Why...Suddenly Feng Siding squeezed his palm lightly again, Gong Zi suddenly realized, so...that's it!

Standing in the room, Hua Changlian watched the two leave hand in hand through the open window.He regretted it in his heart, but it hurt even more. He had always been a love thief, and when facing few people, he had a measure of advance and retreat, and handled it appropriately.It can be foreseen that the sincere person, finally got a love, but made the biggest mistake in his life.

But the first time, he was able to chase the person back with a whim, but the second time, the person he pushed away with his own hands, was no longer able to come back...

There was a knock on the door, but the person who knocked on the door didn't wait for Hua Changlian to answer, he opened the door and walked in: "This slap is really cruel, is it from your rival in love?"

Hua Changlian remained silent.

"So it was your lover who beat it, what a fierce horse." The emperor slapped the table and laughed heartily, Hua Changlian still remained silent, "You look a bit like your uncle now."

Hua Changlian frowned and stood up: "My uncle is just an ordinary person, why are you and your father holding on to him?"

"I don't want to be like my father. I also know that twisted melons are not sweet, but I just think about it occasionally. As for ordinary people...there are a lot of ordinary people, but there are a few who are still not tempted by Jinyi food, money and power An ordinary person? I just like his neither arrogance nor impetuosity, his arrogance and calmness, and his gentleness and indifference."

"That's not my uncle." Hua Changlian knows what his uncle is like best. When he was a child, he saw him wearing obscene clothes several times in a daze in the yard in the middle of the night. He thought he saw a ghost... The emperor described him Those words are just his surface.

When I grew up, I understood the relationship between my uncle and the emperor, and saw the faces of Lu Hua and his elders urging his uncle to ask the emperor for an official position. At that time, I really felt that my internal organs were so disgusting—not my uncle, but my uncle. Those elders, what is the difference between them and the old bustard in that brothel?

So that's why, my uncle decided not to come back a long time ago, but he didn't blame him at all.He has given enough to these two families, and he has repaid all the favors of childbirth.

"In a few days, you will be heading to the army. After all, you and I were childhood sweethearts. Is there anything to worry about?"

The emperor's tone was too much to beat, but Hua Changlian didn't even move his eyebrows: "Go as far as you can."

The emperor wiped his nose, but he didn't blame him, instead he really got up and walked away...

Twelve years later, in a small town in the north.

Feng Siding and Gong Zi went here to look for delicious food, but when they first entered the town, they saw that the whole town was completely deserted, with white flags flying everywhere.The two thought that the emperor or the empress dowager had passed away, and it happened that there was a national funeral, but after asking, they found out that this was not the case.

"It's General Hua who has gone." An old man wiped his tears while speaking. They were originally border residents in this small town, but they moved here a few years ago.This General Hua is named Jin, who is now a well-known general in the north, who has been on the battlefield for more than ten years, killing the enemy and protecting the people, making the bandits fearful and loved by the people.

"Poor general, he doesn't even have any descendants."

"Si Ding, do you think it's him?"

"How many years, why have you been asking since you heard about General Hua?"

"curious……"

"I don't know who this 'he' is? But since this man is a good general, then give him a stick of incense..."
