Chiwuxing

Chapter [-] - Talking to each other, fighting against the blazing fire, swallowing wine, comforting and drinking the fire to shed sorrow

Tang Lan entered the door with two jars of concoction, and the hot and bitter smell instantly filled the whole room.

"Are you back?" Seeing the people in the house, he said, "It's just right, I just got out of the medicine here, let's drink the medicine first, and then take out the good wine you bought in a few hours to have a good time."

"Okay." Fu Chen was packing up beside the bed, folding some clothes.

Tang Lan shook the grass fan with one hand, and the bitter grass smell of the medicinal liquid hit his nostrils, so he half-covered his nose and complained in a low voice, "What kind of strange smell is this...I really can't get used to it."

"Tang Lan," Fu Chen's subordinates paused for a moment, and when he lowered his eyes, he looked calm, and said in a low voice, "I see this medicine... just stop it first."

"Huh? What's the matter?" Tang Lan said, "You can't stand the smell?"

Fu Chen shook his head, and said: "It's just some medicinal herbs that replenish the energy and blood of warriors, and you have to go to the neighboring city to buy them. You can't let this little thing hang you all the time. When you are in the Chijia barracks, there will be less time to rest. , and let you keep thinking about decocting the medicine, I don’t think it makes sense.”

"Heh," Tang Lan sighed, seeming to comfort her, "I've thought too much about you, didn't I fix it with you now? It stands to reason that I stole your prescription. It's here. The medicines imported from Nanman are very expensive, at worst, I will pay for this money in the future..."

"You know that's not what I'm talking about..." Fu Chen was helpless.

"Okay, don't be a mother-in-law," Tang Lan picked up a bowl, licked the edge of the bowl, felt that the temperature was about the same, and said, "I asked the doctor, this medicine is warm and tonic, and it is beneficial and harmless. It is said that your internal strength is vain, you should pay attention to it, you can't go far by practicing external skills..."

Fu Chen clenched the cloth in his hand, and said, "It's useless..."

Tang Lan drank the bowl of medicine in one gulp, wrinkled her nose, and let out a bitter breath.Resisting it, he handed another bowl to the young man: "Listen to me, drink it. If you don't want to drink it, just pretend I want it. Follow me, okay?"

Fu Chen took it, and the scalding heat was transmitted to the palm of his hand, and then flowed to the fingertips one by one along with the blood vessels buried in it.

"Thank you." For the first time, he felt that the bowl of black and thick things had such a nostalgic temperature, so that he slowed down the speed of swallowing, allowing the bitter liquid to turn bit by bit. in the throat.

Tang Lan stared at him and drank it, then laughed, and said, "Little Curly, you always say this, can't you say anything else? My ears are full of cocoons..."

"I'm stupid," Fu Chen finished drinking, wiped the corner of his mouth with his sleeves, and said frankly, "I can only express my gratitude like this, otherwise, tell me what you want to hear?"

"Huh?" Tang Lan obviously didn't expect him to answer like this, and was stunned for a moment, "What do I want to hear?"

Fu Chen smiled, nodded his head lightly, and said, "Is there any?"

Tang Lan really looked serious thinking again, lowering his eyes.

Immediately after seeing him hunched slightly, he raised his voice and said, "Brother Tang, even if I die, I will repay your kindness in the next life..."

"Hey," Fu Chen couldn't help laughing, "I don't look like—"

like what?

Tang Lan's own voice was no clearer than Fu Chen's, and he knew that the twisting of his voice was purely a joke.

"Alas..." Even if he thought about it day and night, he insisted on revealing the things in his heart regardless of the occasion and opportunity, and had nothing else but to spoil people's interest.

"What's the matter?" Seeing that the young man suddenly became quiet again, he thought he had said something wrong, "I was just joking, don't annoy me."

"Ah? No," Fu Chen raised his head and said with a smile, "I was distracted just now and thought of going elsewhere."

After a moment of silence, he considered his words and said, "When I die, I will always remember your friendship."

"I was just joking...why are you so serious..." The young man's somewhat serious appearance made Tang Lan a little terrified, "you have a bright future, don't say such depressing words, bah bah bah."

"En." Fu Chen responded.

Tang Lan didn't know where to put her eyes. She looked down at the pile of clothes packed on the bed, changed the subject, and said, "This...is this dark purple clothes your clothes? I don't think I've seen you wear them? "

"No, these are not my clothes." Fu Chen followed his gaze and said.

"Oh?" Tang Lan said casually, "Who gave you that?"

"It belongs to Su Rang."

"Su Rang?" Tang Lan was taken aback, and stretched out his hand to pull the dress out of the pile. It was indeed a satin robe with a deep purple and gold pattern, and it was obvious at a glance that it was Su Rang's always flamboyant and extravagant style. He said dissatisfied , "A year ago... Didn't I ask you to throw it away when you packed up? Why do you still keep it? It's not too bad luck."

Fu Chen didn't think about what to say.

"Even his family's servants didn't send anyone to collect the clothes, so it's not something valuable," Tang Lan said disgustedly, "What do you mean?"

"...It will be his death day in two days." Fu Chen said.

"so what?"

Fu Chen said: "I was thinking, before I leave, burn some paper for him, and burn these things along with me."

He got up, and really took the yellow tissue paper from the table and cabinet, obviously it was prepared when he went out to buy wine just now.

"I remember that you didn't have a deep friendship with him when he was alive." Tang Lan watched him move, "Su Rang is not a kind person. If you throw it out and let a beggar outside find it, you can count him as dead." If you do a good deed in the end, Lord Yan will remember him as a meritorious deed."

"Let's go together?" Fu Chen took Su Rang's belongings and looked back at him.

Su Rang didn't regard the Gyeonggi barracks as a long-term residence during his lifetime, and he often felt that the conditions here were mediocre. Except for a few pieces of clothes, there were no heavy things in the relics, which could just be put into a cloth bag and put on his hands.

"It's up to you." Tang Lan said, picked up the wine Fu Chen bought back, and went out with him.

The young man obviously had inquired about the route in advance, and he was familiar with the road, and walked into a small space at the back of the big camp, surrounded by brick walls on both sides, and lighting a fire here can just make the smoke slip along the wall, and will not let the residents The guards in the barracks noticed.

The flames sprang out with a "chuckle", and sporadic lights exploded.

The two sat on the ground.

Fu Chen slowly put stacks of yellow paper in, and the heat wave hit his face.

Tang Lan turned his head sideways, and could see the young man's side face was stained with a layer of majestic red light. The man was staring intently at the burning flame in front of him, and did not move.

He looked at Fu Chen for a while, and followed his line of sight to look at the burning fire, but suddenly his eyes hurt from the golden inner flame in the center, and he turned his face quickly, looking at the young man who was not touched by the fire at all. The appearance of the influence, can't help but say: "How did you do it?"

"what?"

The young man replied quickly, Tang Lan was asking a question tentatively, but found that the young man didn't seem to be in a daze as before, his thoughts were quick and clear.

"You keep staring, don't your eyes hurt?" he asked.

Fu Chen still didn't move, and said, "I'm used to it."

got used to?

"Do you often burn paper for others?" Tang Lan raised an eyebrow.

Fu Chen fell silent again. Seeing the fire growing stronger, he threw the clothes that had been placed beside him for a long time into it. The flames were suppressed a little, and the fire became much dimmer.

"Su Rang's death outside was the result of his father colluding with eunuchs, so he can't blame anyone else," Tang Lan said, "He's usually very unpopular, and he's dead when he dies. Even I, who came here much earlier than you People who are more than [-] years old don't miss anything, why do you do this for him?"

"His temper is arrogant, but it's not his fault," Fu Chen said indifferently, "he shouldn't suffer from such an innocent disaster."

"It's God's will," Tang Lan said, "It's not always possible for a good person to get good rewards, let alone him?"

"Is it really God's will? If those people didn't do it to the extreme, they wouldn't necessarily have been killed at that time." Fu Chen rarely got to the bottom of this, and the fire was reflected in his pupils, "He might not have died."

"What is God's will?" Tang Lan asked rhetorically, "The eunuchs you mentioned have always behaved like this, and they just happened to fall on Su Rang's head. No matter how many entanglements there are in it, except for complaining about heaven and others, you are not letting go of those people. How? It’s the same result if someone else is changed.”

"...same result." Fu Chen murmured in a low voice.

Tang Lan put the wine brought from the house in the middle, and the two bowls turned upside down on the wine tank were taken down, he handed over an empty bowl, and said: "Dry it first."

"The dead are the greatest." Fu Chen picked up the wine jar and poured out a large bowl, pouring the first bowl of wine forward, "Su Rang drinks first."

Chi Yan swallowed the smell of alcohol and burned more wildly.

Tang Lan sneered, and downed the wine he had poured.

"Tang Lan." The young man suddenly called out.

"Say."

"If one day I die before you," Fu Chen said after taking a sip of his wine, "you don't have to burn paper for me, and add a catty of wine for me. I will always remember the time I drank with you while I was alive. day."

"Get out... Maybe who will die first, and when I go to the battlefield with the army, maybe I will die before you," Tang Lan said in a slightly drowsy voice, "You burn a pile of rotten papers for this kid, Don't allow me to burn it for you, it's all your reason..."

"I've been thinking about these things all day, it seems that I have to go back and make you another medicine..."

"The fire won't be extinguished for a while, or I'll fetch a bucket of water and throw it at him..."

"Forget it, I won't go, you go, it's your turn, you are in front of me, you have always been in front of me..."

The two have different moods after drinking, and both are due to their usual state.

Fu Chen was more silent than usual in front of people, while Tang Lan's words were more trivial than usual.

"I'm in a hurry to buy today...do you want something else?" Fu Chen asked, supporting Tang Lan's upper body.

"You..." Tang Lan paused, narrowed her eyes and said, "Go and buy some meat for me, I... I'm hungry..."

"Okay," Fu Chen said, watching the gradually extinguished fireworks, "Go back to the house first, I'll go to the butcher shop to buy beef for you."

"Um……"

Tang Lan tilted her head on Fu Chen's shoulder, looking dazedly drunk.

"Go inside first," Fu Chen said, "I'll buy it for you."

People who are drunk are always sober. The young man's expression was as cold as wine, and he supported Tang Lan to the bed beside the room.

Fu Chen left the barracks and went to the corner of Dijing Street to buy a few ounces of beef. When he came back, Tang Lan had already slumped on the head of the bed and was motionless. He obviously fell asleep drunk. Candlelight by the bed.

"Tang Lan," the young man's face was hidden in the darkness, and he said slowly, "You should be fine."

Fu Chen realized that although he had the ability to look directly at the latter in the scorching sun, he was unable to recognize any objects in the darkness.

"Nice dream."

Fu Chen lay on the bed and said to the other side.

On the opposite side gradually began to snore.

In the middle of the night, I drilled into the quiet and deep cave. At this time, all things quietly fell into the cave of rest, and everyone hid in the house.

The blood-colored night covered the richness of the former.In this deep darkness, anyone who is awake can become a witness to this dark night.

"Admiral...won't you come and order some more meat?" Xu Enguang, the deputy general of the Red Armored Army, swallowed the last piece of roast chicken left on his plate, and finally couldn't help asking.

"No need," Jia Yun replied with a smile, sitting on the side of the round table with several people, "The banquet tonight is specially prepared for you, and you should enjoy it slowly, as long as everyone enjoys it."

The lieutenant responded in a smug manner.

It's okay if it's at other times and occasions, but at this time, if it's about having fun, I'm afraid everyone at the table is half-interested.

No wonder he was skeptical, the meal was held at the mansion of King Yu in the imperial capital, and the invitation sent by Jia Yun was also under the banner of King Yu.After a lapse of a year, the sudden invitation to this night banquet must have been announcing something important, but after the generals arrived, there was no sign of King Yu, but Jia Yun led him to the inner place to enjoy the banquet. With so much thought, I didn't talk about the business for a long time.

Jia Yun had a panoramic view of the expressions of the people sitting in the seat, thinking deeply.

"Is everyone ready to eat?" He looked around, seeing that the chicken, duck, fish, jade liquid and fine wine on the table had been looted clean, and there were some scattered vegetables and food left, and the people present had no intention of eating again, so he asked.

"Admiral," a rough soldier at the table immediately asked, "Since it's His Highness's invitation, why don't you come out to meet us? Since you've already called us out, why do you keep evasive?"

It wasn't the first time he questioned him like this, since he entered the mansion, he became anxious about King Yu's affairs, and was often evaded by Jia Yun with words.

"Don't worry, General Liao," Jia Yun said, "Everything has to be done one by one. Food and drink are pleasures, so not talking about business will spoil everyone's interest."

"You..." Seeing that he was determined to show off, Liao Hui was furious, and the neighbor seated him immediately winked at him to remind him secretly.

He remained silent again.

"Everyone is ready to eat, Admiral," said Lin Ping, another general in the personal guard.At this time, he would always come out to smooth things over, saying, "If you have something serious to talk about, why not take advantage of this moment when everyone is in a good mood."

"Well," Jia Yun nodded and said to the side, "Remove the things first."

"Yes."

The two servants packed things quickly.

This group of people who came today is the first time to enter Prince Yu's mansion, mainly because they have been fighting outside all year round, even if they return to Beijing, they will stay in the camp with the Lord, and even King Yu himself has not returned to his mansion a few times .

But since the Qiannan War, they knew that King Yu had closed his house here for a year, and he must have lived in a place surrounded by servants and prospering vegetation. After entering the mansion, they realized that the scene here was quite different from what they had imagined.It's nothing more than a barren pavilion, and there are only two servants serving him. In connection with King Yu's serious leg injury, he didn't know how he spent this year.

The people who were clamoring that Zongzhengxi retired from the mansion due to illness to enjoy music completely discarded the rumors from the outside world. The entire mansion, except for one thing related to "music", was completely desolate.It can be seen that the hearts of those who have lived here for a long time may not be any better than the withered old vines outside the court.

That's why just now at the banquet, everyone was not as noisy as usual when they were drinking and eating meat in the camp. Everyone ate in silence, with endless thoughts in their hearts.

"The food at the banquet was specially prepared by His Highness for you. It is all hard dishes that everyone enjoys on weekdays. They are cooked by famous chefs in famous restaurants in Beijing. I only hope that I can comfort the generals present for many years. your hard work," Jia Yun said, "serve tea."

Immediately afterwards, the two servants brought the tea prepared to sober up and served them one by one.

Now, apart from Liao Hui, the others couldn't help becoming impatient.

Jiao Shiling said: "Admiral, we are all our own people here, so there's no need to be so ostentatious. We, a group of people who spend years in the military barracks, when did we have the habit of sipping tea and drinking water when we have free time? Your Highness Since they called us over, they all came to meet each other with sincerity. We have never met in a lifetime. If there are any important matters and difficulties, we can overcome them one by one and discuss to solve them. Why come to these empty-headed postures... "

"That's right," Jia Yun said with a smile, "I thought so too at first, but since His Highness ordered to follow the specifications of the palace banquet, I followed suit."

"Your Highness will understand naturally," Jiao Shiling said in a slightly lower voice, "It's just that I'm here for the reason, but not for that."

"Okay," Jia Yun got up, and said without hesitation, "Since it's time to talk about business, please follow me to the Wangfu study."

The teacup that had just been placed was left on the table.

A group of people followed Jia Yun along the secret door at the back of the hall leading to the inner courtyard of the rear mansion. As soon as they stepped into the courtyard, they saw a rough old locust tree lying across the inner courtyard which was not so wide.In the dark twilight, the upper branches and leaves turned into ostentatious black shadows, and a few withered leaves fell to the ground. The surrounding area was clean, and it should have been cleaned by someone, except for this thick trunk lying in the middle, blocking the The way across court.

"You can walk along the corridor here," Jia Yun said.

The few people following kept looking around the court, and one of them said, "This is?"

"During the last battle in Qiannan last year, it rained heavily for seven consecutive days. At that time, His Highness and I sent a letter to General Jiao to your place to attack early, just before the end of our Qing Dynasty," Jia Yun explained, " It was at that time that the wind was strong and it was blown down abruptly."

"I know," Jiao Shiling continued, "but what's the point of blocking the courtyard like this? Why don't you find someone to clear it out?"

"Since Your Highness didn't move, there must be some reason for him," Jia Yun said, "The pagoda tree is a ghost in the tree. Legend has it that ghosts like to hide and attach to it. Therefore, Lei Gong often strikes lightning and lightning on him in order to punish evil ghosts. Turn right——"

The crowd followed Jia Yun around the side corridor.

"...The admiral is still interested in ghost stories." Liao Hui's tone was slightly ironic.

Before Jia Yun could say anything, Lin Ping said in time: "I heard that the courtyard here was originally the admiral's residence, why did you think of transplanting a locust tree in the courtyard?"

As soon as these words came out, other people's memories were being transferred back to the past.Zongzheng Xi and Guan Zhishi served as generals in the army, and the emperor recalled him to Beijing in due course and gave him the title of king.In the previous five years, Zongzhengxi climbed from a low-ranking soldier to a general with bare hands and no support.As a result, it is also adding status and status to him, and he is given military authority.But besides that, the King Xuan who came after the conferment ceremony was much simpler, not to mention that the emperor did not come in person on the day of receiving the ceremony, and even the mansion bestowed by the emperor was handed over to the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs has always been good at agreeing with the emperor's thoughts. It has become a fact that His Majesty has hated the eldest son for many years. Naturally, he didn't bother to choose an expensive site in the imperial capital, so he only settled for a remote and narrow site. Later, Jia Yun personally went to the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Jiang Hua deliberated, and the latter reluctantly gave him some noodles.

Jia Yunshang still remembered that Jiang Hua had a plausible argument that day, and rejected his request to pay for the site selection on the grounds that King Yu had been fighting outside all year round and that the mansion was empty and occupied the land.Later on this matter, the two had a stalemate for a long time, and finally he decided to cut off most of the land occupied by the mansion bestowed by him in order to build Prince Yu's mansion.As for whether His Majesty found out about it later and blamed him for this matter, he didn't write a letter to mention it, so he just pretended to have obtained acquiescence.

Therefore, Prince Yu's Mansion is adjacent to a much smaller private house, which is Jia Yun's residence in Beijing.

"Originally, I liked to plant some flowers and trees in the courtyard. Considering the light in the courtyard, I ordered my subordinates to find this old locust tree," Jia Yun said, "There is no special reason, and it is a pity that the tree has fallen now."

The few people behind him didn't know his mood, they just eagerly walked around the corridor to the back room, wanting to go to the study to solve their doubts.

Jia Yun pushed the door forward, and the servants walked to the room to light the lamp.

"... His Highness is not in the room?" Liao Hui was surprised.

"When did I say that His Highness is in the study?" Jia Yun said, "Everyone, please take your seats first."

"Could it be that Your Highness intends to give a banquet today, but is unwilling to show up?" Jiao Shiling, who has always been calm, is also a little impatient at this moment, "Then what exactly does this mean?"

"Everyone," Jia Yun said slowly, "What is King Yu's temperament? We all know each other in the army for several years, so we naturally know. If we can show up for the meeting today, we will naturally not hide ourselves on purpose."

Everyone present was shocked.

"Your Highness... what happened?"

"Diseases and worries are repeated, and it's hard to get up from the bed," Jia Yun said, "I'm recuperating in bed."

"How could this be?" Jiao Shiling asked suspiciously, "What His Highness hurt...wasn't his leg? Why are there other diseases now? Didn't His Highness come out of the house and show up that day for the crown prince canonization ceremony?"

"The air path of the human body moves the whole body with one stroke," Jia Yundao, "His Royal Highness is worried about many things. He has been away for many years and has not taken care of his foundation. He has been sick like a mountain. These days, other diseases have come and gone. After thinking about it for a while, I come here to express his thoughts and thoughts. I want to tell you all that it will be very difficult to return to Chijia in the future."

The crowd was silent.

Jia Yun went on to say: "Today, there are only three important matters that I have explained to you all."

"The first one is for the deployment of new recruits."

"The Privy Council has just given me a list of 2000 elite soldiers recruited by the Yiwei Army in each city. We have already sent a copy of this form to our barracks. 20 people, not according to the number of sacrifices in the previous battalions, but according to the selected arms registered in the battalion. As far as I know, there are more infantry and less cavalry. However, the Red Armor Army has always preferred shortages to excess. As for the commanding power, if you find any lazy and incompetent recruits among the recruits, you will naturally have the right to directly wipe them out of the camp. Should everyone have no objection to this point?"

"Admiral," Lin Ping said, "Why is there no Wu Huan in the list of Yiwei sent up?"

Naturally, he didn't feel embarrassed when he said this, but Liao Hui at the side just felt impatient, and said: "Of course I don't have that ability, the selection of soldiers is based on strength, what advantage does the eunuch have?"

Liao Hui bluntly said that he has always been well-known in the military, and Jia Yun didn't mean to compare him deeply, saying: "I haven't investigated this matter carefully, but in my opinion, it should be the dismissal of officials from the eight counties in southern Qiannan. When it comes to the interests of individual eunuch party officials, other places are just acting conservatively.”

What he said was frank and awe-inspiring, but left the listeners speechless.

Jiao Shiling raised a question: "If you don't make up for the omissions according to the number of sacrificed people in the battalion, the number of troops will be uneven, which will definitely affect the formation exercises in the future, so what?"

"I have also considered this matter. According to my usual experience, it is directly filling the vacancies, but it will inevitably lead to the consequences of covering up the advantages of each soldier and guard. So this time, I will divide the battalions according to the arms they choose, and follow the veterans. Daily training, within a month, you can make timely adjustments based on the results of these daily observations." Jia Yun explained.

Jiao Shiling nodded and said, "It's a little troublesome, but the effect should be good."

Jia Yun glanced at Liao Hui, and said: "Okay, this matter is over. Then the second thing is to increase the training of the troops."

"Although it is impossible for Your Highness to return to the army to supervise the training, the barbaric troubles have not disappeared. As long as one day does not completely induce surrender, the border troubles cannot be eliminated," Jia Yundao, "So, at this time, when the recruits enter the camp, they should return to their respective positions in time. In the past year, although our army has not stopped daily training, the barbarian department will not let it go. Although we won the battle in southern Guizhou, we only had a temporary opportunity to rest, so these Time is extremely precious, if possible, it would be great if we can take the lead in launching the southern expedition before the barbarians recover."

"As far as the details of the training are concerned, each general has his or her own capabilities, and we will discuss and proceed afterward," Jia Yun said, "Do you have any doubts about this?"

"This is my job, no doubt." Jiao Shiling said.

"Okay," Jia Yun said, "Then the third thing is the division of military power."

As soon as these words came out, the expressions of everyone present changed slightly.

Jia Yun didn't seem to notice, and said: "In the past, His Royal Highness has always been in charge of the red-armored military power, and the generals are in charge of the deployment of each battalion. Now, what His Highness means is that the command of the [-] elite guards in his hand will be handed over first. For me, the remaining [-] Yiwei Army occupied by central Beijing, as well as the local Yiwei Army led by Jiangbei, Weinan, and Jiangdong, will be divided among you with real power. Ford."

Everyone in the seat didn't know how to make a sound, Lin Ping first said: "Is this... His Majesty's permission for this matter?"

"Your Majesty, naturally His Highness will write a statement," Jia Yun said, "Since this is His Highness' original intention, then I am only here to inform everyone."

Jiao Shiling said: "If that's the case, don't we have to be sent to each battalion in Yan State to lead the army?"

Jia Yun nodded: "That's the truth."

"What do you mean!" Liao Hui immediately jumped up and said, "What do you mean!"

Divide the military power, is this going to break up and separate?

"Liao Hui!" Lin Ping blocked his movements.

"I have made my meaning very clear," Jia Yun said calmly, "Since I have invited you here to tell the truth, I have not ambiguously expressed a word in His Highness's territory, so I have completely recounted His Highness's original words." .”

"Then what does this mean?" Liao Hui was still angry, and said, "First divide the power and then divide the power... What is this doing? Tell the funeral? Huh?!"

"Liao Hui!" The two generals, Jiao and Xu, also lowered their expressions, warning him to make a slip of the tongue.

"Tell me! Where are His Highness?" Liao Hui approached Jia Yun, annoyed, "I'll go find him! I want to see him in person!"

"Of course I can't tell you that you disturbed his sickness," Jia Yun said calmly, not afraid of his stern expression.

"Sick, sick," Liao Hui gritted his teeth and said angrily, "It's been a fucking year! He's still lying sick!"

"Liao Hui! You're drunk!" Jiao Shiling also raised his voice.

Liao Hui disregarded the surrounding crowd, swung his long arms, and hugged the other people with all his strength, then pulled out the candles in the lampshade with both hands, and rushed out of the room.

"Follow him!" Jia Yun's heart tightened, and he called a few people.

The breeze blowing over the forehead outside the house made the originally chaotic consciousness more stagnant and intense.

Liao Hui didn't walk around the corridor with seven turns and eight turns, he ran directly from the door to the threshold of the courtyard house, passing through this threshold, he went straight to the courtyard he passed by when he came.

A black-painted old locust tree lay in the middle of the road.

"Heh." He sneered, and kept walking. When he reached the dry branch, the two clusters of candle flames in his hand, which had been stretched all the way due to his movements, had already been thrown into it, and now they were stretched again. It grew longer and turned into a rainbow bending at night.

"General!"

Liao Hui roared.

"Zongzheng!

"One sound is louder than one sound.

He didn't believe that the huge but empty Prince Yu Mansion couldn't transmit his voice to the ears of those who were sleeping in the mansion.

A single spark gradually spread.

In the light of the fire, the originally dark branches in the night were gradually illuminated with a brownish yellow color, but they were swallowed by the fire in an instant, turning into a black burnt color that was well-deserved.

Liao Hui half-kneeled on the ground, panting heavily after shouting, but suddenly realized that he didn't know what to say next.He was full of angry and obscene words just now, but after seeing the rising fire, he was choked in his throat and couldn't even utter a word.

The thick smoke choked his nose and just blocked his mouth.

Jia Yun followed up with them, and stood in front of the threshold in the middle, but also stopped and fell silent.

"...Admiral, what...how should I do?" Lin Ping hesitated.

Jia Yun looked at the silent person kneeling below, and said calmly, "Let him go."

After another long time, he thought of the people standing beside him, and said with his head sideways: "I have already explained what His Highness told you just now, if you have no doubts, you might as well go back first, Liao Hui's side... I will look at him. "

Those few people sighed in their hearts, but they still left with thanks on their faces.

After everyone dispersed, Jia Yunfang slowly walked behind Liao Hui.

The two candles that were thrown just now are being thrown towards the head and tail of the trunk, leaving a large belly of branches in the middle still as usual.

The two servants had already noticed the movement, and brought two buckets of water from the well in the mansion, preparing to put out the sudden fire.

"Wait," Jia Yun stopped the two of them and said, "Put the water here, and go get two candles."

"Ah?" The two were stunned, but they didn't dare to question, and instead responded, "...Yes."

Afterwards, the two listened to the order to light the candle on the fire in front of them, and handed it to Jia Yun.

He took another two steps forward, and threw the two candles to the middle of the locust tree trunk.
