Twilight Cloud Returns

"Folks, these are the two adults who can order hundreds of dead bodies!"

As soon as Yun Chuxiu and Chu Mohenfu showed up, whoever said this sentence, all the people immediately knelt down and worshiped them as gods.

Gu Xiaorui saw that his master received such treatment, and said happily: "My lord, since the government released those bandits who were forced to become bandits, you don't know what Yangzhou city is saying about you and Prince Mo now? "

Yun Chuxiu thought for a moment, he didn't dare to seek flowers and ask Liu in Yangzhou City, how could he have words to say goodbye to him as a young master?

Gu Xiaorui proudly said: "Now the common people are saying that you and Lord Mo are both the reincarnation of gods, with a bodhisattva heart that can make dead corpses speak to pay back their grievances."

Yun Chuxiu really can't laugh or cry, what orders to hundreds of dead bodies is just a trick of the troupe.It's okay to say that the theater troupe is supernatural, but it's even more out of place with him, a young father-in-law.

However, the more he explained, the more people thought that he was being modest, not showing off his mountains or revealing his water.

Chu Mohen held him back and said, "That's all, it's fine to make the people happy."

After sending these determined people away, the two of them returned to the house, and Chu Mohen suddenly said, "Zhihuan, do you still remember when we were taught by Taifu Yang, what was the first article we learned?"

He didn't dare to forget, "It's "Ji Liang Admonishes Chasing the Master of Chu"."

There was an imperceptible sadness in Chu Mohen's smile, "Now the sight of the common people coming to bow down to me reminds me of a sentence in the article - the husband and the people are the lord of the gods. It is the sage king who first becomes the people, and then Dedicated to the gods. And now the people are worshiping us as gods, which is putting the cart before the horse."

Yun Chuxiu said: "When Taifu Yang was alive, he also liked this statement the most."

He turned around abruptly, his eyes were firm and he said: "Zhi Huan, if one day I become the person in charge of the world, I will definitely not make the people think so."

Yun Chuxiu knows that the little uncle definitely has this talent, but he is not as good as the more noble Chu Tiankuo, and the next monarch will only choose among Chu Tiankuo's heirs. Be a courtier.

Perhaps Chu Mohen recalled his own background, and the twinkling light in his eyes dimmed.

Yun Chuxiu found another topic, not wanting to arouse the sadness of the little emperor, "Chu Tiankuo has never dealt with the Rong family, what is the meaning?"

"Maybe it's because of the empress dowager's face, after all, it's her mother's family that is going to be exterminated this time." Chu Mohen paused, "But this time the Rong family has rebelled, even if it is the empress dowager, it can't be saved." .”

Wuqing brought a pot of green Yangchun at the right time, and smiled at the two of them: "It's freshly brewed, come and taste it. If you leave now, you won't have another chance in the future."

Chu Mohen looked at Wuqing carefully, but he never thought that his nephew was still an infatuated kind, and he would not get tired of spending many days with this young monk who had returned to vulgarity, so he joked: "It's really a blessing to know that you are beside me every day. Follow Kexinren..."

Wuqing was embarrassed for a moment, the red color gradually spread to the earlobe, Yun Chuxiu coaxed: "You are afraid of the cold, go back to the room and pack more clothes."

Wuqing left immediately.

Yun Chuxiu took a sip of tea and said leisurely, "Little Huangshu, he can't stand your jokes like this."

Chu Mohen replied: "Okay, okay... Your person, I really don't dare to provoke you..." His eyes inadvertently glanced at the side room with the door tightly closed, and sighed, "How do you plan to arrange her?"

Yun Chuxiu knew that he was referring to Xue Wanjun, "Since the Xue family in Yangzhou has been implicated, there will be no more Xue Wanjun in the world. She is a member of our Yun clan, so I will bring it back to the Yun clan."

Chu Mohen understood in his heart - Zhi Huan is a person who values ​​affection after all, and this is to protect her to the end...

He instructed: "Your Majesty thinks that Xue's family is exterminated, so you must hide her well."

As soon as the words fell, Chu Mohen's servant rushed to report: "My lord, a secret decree from the Holy Spirit has come to the house."

He suddenly stood up and bid farewell, "We will talk again in the capital."

Just as Chu Mohen was about to leave, he suddenly heard Yun Chuxiu's suspicious voice behind him, "Little Emperor Uncle, there is still one thing I don't know."

He said quietly: "Before going to die, what Su Xin, who replaced Xue Wanjun, said on the execution ground is still fresh in his memory. She said that the cunning rabbit died, the lackeys boiled, the loyal ministers sleep forever in the underworld, and it is difficult for a lonely king to control the hearts of the people. "

Chu Mohen turned around and said in thought: "The king has heard about what happened that day, so what's wrong?"

Yun Chuxiu smiled inscrutably: "It's not right. As a little maid, how did Su Xin know the inside story of this case, so she said those words?"

Chu Mohen frowned and said: "Su Xin is quick-witted and can come and go freely in the mansion. Perhaps she overheard the conversation of the masters..."

The rustling of fallen leaves is especially clear in the silent courtyard.

After a long while, Yun Chuxiu finally said in relief: "Perhaps it's just like the little emperor said, these are all Suxin's eavesdropping..."

At this time, the servant at the side said cleverly: "My lord, the people in the capital are still waiting. If you miss the time, I'm afraid you will be charged with disrespect..."

Chu Mohen left in a hurry.

Wuqing walked out of the room, and said to Zhi: "Do you suspect it is Prince Mo?"

Yun Chuxiu nodded, he only felt his head swell, lying on the rocking chair, Wuqing lightly pressed his temples on both sides.

"The iron stone case in Yangzhou involves a lot, but the only people involved in it from the beginning to the end are the extinct Xue family, me and the little emperor."

"Xue Wanjun is indulging in the pain of losing her husband and father, she has no time to spend these thoughts. What's more, she will be more cautious in her words and deeds for the sake of the unborn child in her womb, and she will definitely not teach Su Xin to say these words. Thinking about it If you want to go, only Xiaohuangshu is left..."

Wuqing was puzzled and said: "Why is Prince Mo like this?"

Yun Chuxiu chuckled, he didn't want to think about it, he was more willing to believe in the King Mo Xian who has always been for the people and the country.

It was night, Wei Zhongan knelt down in front of Chu Mohen sincerely, "Slave Wei Zhongan thanked the master for his great kindness!"

He knocked heavily on the slate, and the images in his mind were all that late at night, when he finally got to see his brother for the last time.

The elder brother held his hand, took out the lotus seed cake that had been squashed and astringent from his bosom, and said gently: "I thought I would never see you again in this life...but I asked the jailer to buy this lotus seed cake, It's just that the deadline for the best food has passed..."

Elder brother is in prison, those guards are like the maids and eunuchs in the palace, they are used to worshiping high and stepping on low, so how can they buy lotus seed cake for elder brother?The elder brother must have pawned something, he looked around and found that his elder brother's favorite sword was not by his side, he said anxiously: "Elder brother, where is your saber?"

Wei Guoan's face changed instantly, and he concealed it: "For a dying person, what's the use of a sword?"

Wei Zhongan threw himself into his arms and cried, "Brother, you are so stupid, what's the use of exchanging the long sword you fought on the battlefield for those Laoshizi lotus cakes?"

Wei Guoan gently wiped away the tears on his face, and said with a smile: "Brother has not been able to take good care of you in this life, but this lotus seed cake, I will buy it for you even if I try my best."

The more he is like this, the more Wei Zhongan hates that woman named Xue Wanjun, hates that he can have all the love of his brother.

On the day when his elder brother got married, he was fortunate that his elder brother did not marry the girl Haitang he liked, and he always had a place in his heart.But good fortune tricks people, that girl Haitang happens to be Xue Wanjun.

For the elder brother, this is a good match from heaven; but for him, he can no longer fully occupy his elder brother's heart in his whole life.

He hated Xue Wanjun, the Xue clan, and caused his brother to fall into this situation, but he hated the person sitting on the throne the most, it was his will that took his brother's life!

Wei Zhongan clenched his fists tightly, his eyes were full of murderous intent, after sending his brother off for the last time, he would first want Xue Wanjun to be buried with him!

Wei Guoan sensed Ah Zhong's emotions. He looked expectantly and said earnestly, "Brother, brother, I want to ask you one last thing..."

He said eloquently: "Brother, please take care of Tang'er and your unborn nephew..."

Xue Wanjun is pregnant...

These words were like a bolt from the blue, directly smashing a bloody hole in Wei Zhongan's heart.

"She is the love of my life..." Wei Guoan looked into his eyes sincerely, begging him to agree.

Wei Zhongan couldn't refuse his elder brother's gaze, but elder brother, you are also the love of my life!I have held back my love for half my life, how unwilling I am in my heart!His heart was churning like a turbulent sea, but finally he made up his mind and said with tears in his eyes, "Brother, I... will definitely protect my sister-in-law for my brother..."

He doesn't want his elder brother to leave the world with regrets, but as long as he has a breath, he will definitely protect the people his elder brother cherishes.

Wei Guoan watched him leave, feeling guilty in his heart—he owed Ah Zhong too much in his life, even though Ah Zhong was brought home by his parents, not his biological brother, but he has been with him through thick and thin for so many years, and he is his only one. loved ones.Didn't he know that Ah Zhong had a strange feeling for him?But he took advantage of this pure feeling to let Ah Zhong let go of his hatred for Tang'er, and to help Tang'er get rid of the last threat in this world...

Wei Guoan suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed wildly, Ah Zhong, I hope you and I will not have any relationship in the next life...

Chu Mohen looked at Wei Zhongan, who was prostrate at his feet, and said, "Since the wish is over, let's set off for Beijing overnight."

He falsely helped him up, and entrusted him: "Now your elder brother is a sinner of Dazhou. After returning to Beijing this time, you will no longer have the glory of the past. If others bully you and insult you, you can only swallow the blood from your mouth .”

He pressed Wei Zhongan's shoulder, and said word by word: "If you want to avenge your brother, you have to work hard to live and let those wicked people submit to your feet."

Wei Zhongan clenched his fists in his sleeves and said, "Thank you, master, for your guidance, slave."

At the beginning of September, the emperor ordered Zhao Darong to be escorted back to Beijing, and Liang Cai was given a hundred taels of silver, allowing him to return to his hometown.

When Yun Chuxiu got the news, he was already on his way to the Yun clan.

On the way, Xue Wanjun remained silent.Even when Gu Xiaorui teased her with the human fat man, she still couldn't laugh.Fortunately, she was still thinking about the child in her womb, she ate and drank medicine every day, Yun Chuxiu was at least half relieved.

Before leaving, he once asked Yun Zheng, if Xue Wanjun continues to develop like this, what will happen in the future?

Yun Zheng smiled wryly and said, "I'm sick of worrying. I'm afraid that after the adoption son landed, he will go after Wei Guo'an in a few years. This woman has a firm heart, and I'm afraid she won't be able to persuade her to come back..."

If the heart dies, what remains in the world is just a shell.

Yun Chuxiu doesn't believe in fate, but she does.

Now that she has made up her mind to go, she can only go with her.

Mass graves outside Yangzhou city.

Liu Yi traveled all the way, after learning that the Holy Master was going to implicate the Xue clan, he secretly informed Ning Hanqing, and rushed from the border to Yangzhou at the fastest speed.

He searched for the body of his good brother Wei Guoan among the piles of bones in the mass grave.

Finally, two small soil bags were found on the hillside not far from the mass grave.The soil bag is nameless, but he knows that this should be the tomb of the Wei family.

It is hard to violate the holy will, and only the young man can do this.

At this time, Chu Mohen came quietly, and asked peacefully, "Have you rushed back from Liangzhou?"

Liu Yi clasped his fists and said, "The final general violated the wishes of the master, but please punish him."

Chu Mohen waved his hand and said, "Forget it, you and brother Wei Guoan should come and see you off."

At this time, Liu Yi seemed to have faded away from his old and rough appearance, and his eyes were full of regret and sentimentality. If he had never listened to Prince Mo's words that day, and pretended to be an ignorant and simple-minded general, he would enter this earth today. , it will be him Liu Yi.

But he felt sorry for Wei Guoan.

The Holy Majesty was suspicious of the young master, and he had long since belonged to the young prince's party. In order to protect himself, he also obeyed his master's order. Since he was in the army, he has hidden all his knowledge, only being a simple-minded general. Ling Sheng put down his guard and was lucky to survive.

Liu Yi put the saber he was carrying on top of the soil bag, and said wistfully, "Brother, I am here to apologize to you. I hope you can reach bliss early, and my brother will definitely kill your enemies for you!"
