walk to the water

Chu Xiang hurriedly said: "You saved Chu Xu's life, and you came all the way to report the news. It's too late for the two brothers to thank you. Why are you talking about blame?" He said a few words of thanks, but thinking that Chu Xu is still missing now I don't know, and I can't help feeling a little more anxious.

Seeing that Chu Xiang was restless, Fu Ling asked Di Feng to take Wang Hua down to receive the reward, and asked Chu Xiang, "Why didn't you tell me about this earlier? If you need someone, I can help you. "

Chu Xiang looked ashamed, and murmured; "Xiao Xu...he is young and energetic, and has a very stubborn temperament. I am afraid that he will...have some misunderstanding, so..."

Why didn't Fu Ling understand that he didn't want Chu Xu to benefit from him?He didn't force it, and just said: "Then let your senior brother look for it first. If you can't find it, I won't be too late to intervene." As he spoke, he untied Chu Xiang's clothes again, and carefully applied the cream on the scars everywhere.After applying the medicine, Fu Ling said: "Xiang'er, since your trauma is almost healed, the battle ahead is not expected to have major changes. I plan to return to Shangjing as soon as possible to settle down and recuperate. What do you think?"

Chu Xiang remained silent, Fu Ling asked again, and then he seemed to wake up suddenly, and said, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid I have to go back to Jiangning."

"Oh?" Fu Ling didn't understand for a while, he thought that Chu Xiang would not want to return to the sad place of his old capital, so he proposed to go back to Shangjing directly, but he didn't expect him to ask for it. "My mother died tragically in the prison. I don't know where the bones are. I want... I want to go back and find the remains, and let her be buried in the ground, so as to fulfill the responsibility of a son of man. I implore Your Majesty to allow it." Chu Xiang begged in a low voice. .

Hearing his sad words, Fu Ling hurriedly said: "I should have forgotten this. Then I have to go back with you, and it happens to be on the southern tour of the labor force." Thinking of how strong Chu Xiang was, he couldn't help himself now.Always relying on others, begging others for big and small things, I don't know how many grievances I feel in my heart.Fu Ling couldn't help sighing even more, and took him into his arms.Said softly: "Xiang'er, when did you become so cautious when talking to me? The funeral of my late wife should not be hasty. I still remember that your father, General Chu Lang, was buried in Qiuguan. Do you want to move his coffin back to Jiangning? Be buried with your mother?"

Chu Xiang was taken aback when he heard the words, and immediately said: "Thank you for your thoughtfulness, then follow your majesty's arrangement and transport my father's coffin back to Jiangning's ancestral grave for burial!" He was underground for many years, and he must have been looking forward to day and night that he could lead the army in person, recover the lost land, and then move his coffin back.To fulfill a long-cherished wish.But he finally waited until the day of returning home, but it was the time of the country's death, and it happened that his son begged the emperor of Qin to send him back.The world is like this, father Ruoquan knows it.How would you feel?Not like yourself.And how should we face the spirits of our parents in heaven?

Chu Xiang felt as if he had knocked over a bottle of five flavors, full of ups and downs.All kinds of flavors were mixed, but Fu Ling said: "Xiang'er, your lord Chu Lang is loyal, brave, benevolent, and admirable. I want to add a posthumous title. What do you think is the best posthumous title?"

Chu Xiang was taken aback, and quickly shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, this is absolutely impossible!"

Fu Ling wondered: "Why not? There are precedents for conferring the generals of the former dynasty. What's more, after the unification of the world, regardless of the people of Qin and Zhou, they are all my people. Of course, I can bestow the titles as one."

Chu Xiang was dizzy for a while, and hurriedly said: "Nowadays the world has just been decided, how many meritorious ministers have not yet been awarded, but His Majesty is anxious to add the generals of the previous dynasty, isn't it putting the cart before the horse? Besides, Your Majesty came to Zhou alone to save me and sacrificed It is so important that it is unreasonable, and if it is a big matter to chase after my father, it may cause controversy between the government and the public."

Fu Ling remained silent, and the atmosphere in the room suddenly became heavy and awkward.After a while, Fu Ling snorted coldly, and said, "You don't want to be rewarded by me, and you don't want your father to be rewarded by me. You just use these high-sounding reasons to prevaricate me! After all, you are just If you think that I am a tyrant, it is not considered orthodox. Your father and son have lost their reputation if they received the bestowal from the land. If the king of Zhou Kingdom issued an edict, would you refuse to accept it? Can't be worth a subjugated king!"

Seeing that Fu Ling was angry, Chu Xiang hurriedly made amends and said, "Your Majesty, calm down! Chu Xiang definitely didn't... definitely didn't mean that, His Majesty's kindness and great virtues are always in his heart. It's just... the dead are dead, Xiang only wishes his parents The souls of the dead rest in peace, don't be disturbed by the world's discussion anymore. Xiang has been disrespectful, and only this little selfishness, I hope your majesty will forgive me!"

After a stalemate for a while, Fu Ling still had no choice but to compromise, he had reached this point now, knowing that he was wronged, if he got angry with him again.He didn't dare to say anything, couldn't he? "Forget it, those are your parents. If you don't want to, I won't embarrass you. You are unable to move, so I will send people to Qiuguan immediately to escort your father's coffin back to Jiangning. I will make your mother's remains People should quickly search for it, bury it first, and bury it after you go back."

Chu Xiang hesitated and said again: "Thank you, Your Majesty, but... there is General An Lan

Fu Ling said: "You don't need to talk about it, I will do it." Hu Xie smiled mockingly: "Speaking of which, I wrote your father's tombstone in my own hand!"

"Really?" Chu Xiang was slightly surprised. Although he knew that Fu Ling personally commanded that battle, neither of them talked about it in detail.At this time, Chu Xiang suddenly wanted to ask about his father's situation before he died, but his throat seemed to have a thorn in it, and he couldn't ask.

Fu Ling said solemnly: "Yes! After I captured Qiuguan, I ordered a burial for your father, and engraved a stele as a record. I wrote the inscription, and I went to pay homage to him on the day of the burial. It's not because of being close to you, following selfishness and abandoning the public. Your father has won the three armies bravely, and his wisdom is extraordinary. I have ruled the world for more than ten years, and your father is the only opponent I really admire. Unfortunately, luck is bad, and I feel sorry for him... ..." Having said this, he smiled, "It's just that I never thought that after a few years, God would send his beloved son to my side. Xiang'er, tell me, did all this happen somewhere? arrange?"

Chu Xiang snuggled into Fu Ling's arms, recalling all the past events of this half-life, he felt a little dazed, maybe he was right, life and death get together and part, somewhere, there are long-awaited arrangements...

When his father's coffin was transported back to Jiangning, Chu Xiang could barely stand, but his fractured right leg still couldn't exert force.His hands were weak and he couldn't walk with a stick, so Fu Ling had someone make a special four-wheeled cart, which could be used to push him around the garden.The weather is getting warmer day by day, and the plum blossoms in the garden are gone, and the peaches are red and the plums are white again.Every day, Fu Ling selects the best flowers and cuts one or two branches, and puts them in Chu Xiang's room.But Fu Ling worked day and night and had no time to practice. Although his internal injuries were poor enough to heal, his skill had only recovered [-] to [-] percent, and he could not open up the meridians for Chu Xiang.Since Di Feng and Wang Hua left, there has been no further news from Chu Xu.Fu Ling was afraid that Chu Xiang would wait anxiously, so he secretly sent another person to look for him.
