Maung-mei is wrong

Guan Pingye became an abandoned son from the moment of defeat, and the prince naturally wished that this incident had never happened, so Song Mingchong never mentioned the matter of tracking down the remnants of the red boa, and the guard posts on the road were also withdrawn one after another. People don't care where the red boa goes.

From this point of view, it is worth scrutinizing whether the announcement to track them is really the old emperor's will.

After Nie Yunhan was rescued, Kong Tan and Ling Qingbi led their men and formed a mighty convoy, and they all went to the Dusi Yamen of Songchang Mansion to meet Han Fang.

Knowing that Nie Yunhan was crushed down the mountain, Han Fang was naturally very worried, but due to his status, he couldn't rush to the scene. Later, he was relieved when he learned that the other party was out of trouble and his body was fine.

That night, when the convoy arrived at the back gate of the yamen, he was wearing ordinary clothes and had been waiting here for a long time.

Nie Yunhan was carried out of the carriage on his stomach.

Shemian powder can only help him maintain his life without eating or drinking, but it can't help him heal his injuries. When he was crushed down the mountain, he still had a wound on his back from a pistol. In this dark and damp underground After staying for a few days, the wound was inflamed and abscessed. Compared with being buried in the earth, this wound is more fatal.

After waking up in the carriage that day, he felt a sharp pain in his back, so he lay in the carriage for the rest of the journey. The journey was non-stop, and it took seven or eight days to travel to Songchang Mansion. The heat is not conducive to the recovery of the injury. His injury did not improve much, and his bones were almost knocked apart.

When Nie Yunhan saw Han Fang, he really wanted to get up and bow, but his whole body was as sore and limp as noodles soaked overnight, and he fell back as soon as he stood up.

Zhuo Yingxian who was standing aside: "..."

"You just stay here!" He said angrily, "Can Commander Han blame you?!"

Nie Yunhan gave Zhuo Yingxian a "hehe" smile: "Isn't it indecent to punch someone with your butt..."

"I'll be satisfied if you come back alive, don't you care if you're ass or face to me?" Han Fang saw that he could still play tricks, and his heart fell completely, "The room has been arranged for you, go in and rest! "

The Dusi yamen is very spacious, and there is enough space. The special guards under Kong Tan live in the soldiers' big bunk, and the treatment of Ling Chi and the red boa is naturally better, including the old Taoist Yun Xuzi. Except for Zhuo Yingxian.

Tsk, who let this pair of broken sleeves break the bones and connect the tendons, and they can't be taken apart!

The pistol wound on Kong Tan's leg was healed in sevens and eighties, and Zuo Hengqiu was almost healed after lying down for a few days, but the bump on the road was really uncomfortable. People gathered together to chat, and after eating, they slept peacefully in their rooms.

Zhuo Ying fetched water at his leisure, wiped Nie Yunhan from head to toe carefully, and changed him into a brand new coat before he could take care of himself. Finally, he blew out the candle and lay down beside him, Gently fan him.

It's just that in the darkness, Nie Qianhu's face was lying on his side, his eyes were brighter than the stars, and he didn't seem to be sleepy.

"Sleep, what are you doing with your eyes so wide?" Zhuo Yingxian was a little annoyed, "If you don't have a good rest, how can your injury heal faster?"

Nie Yunhan chuckled lightly: "Darling, your temper has grown a lot lately."

"Regret it?" Zhuo Yingxian also knew that he was worried about the other party's injury, so he couldn't help being impatient, and indeed he had a good temper, but if this person didn't recover, he couldn't feel at ease for a day, "I tell you, it's late, you accept your fate."

Nie Yunhan held his hand: "Of course I accept such a good fate. Only a fool would regret it—I'm just a little excited and can't sleep. If it's not too late, I really want to have a good chat with the commander."

"The commander is so busy with military affairs that you don't even let people sleep. Are you guilty?"

However, Zhuo Ying hadn't finished talking, when the voice of an orderly came from outside: "Mr. Nie, have you slept yet? If you haven't fallen asleep yet, the commander said that he would have a night talk with you by candlelight."

Zhuo Yingxian: "..."

This face was slapped really fast.

Hearing the other party call him "Mr. Nie", Nie Yunhan felt comfortable, squeezed Zhuo Yingxian's hand, and said in a low voice: "Did you hear that, I'm a commoner now, are you happy?"

Of course Zhuo Yingxian was happy, this result he wished for, but whether he could really stay away from the hustle and bustle, it is still too early to draw conclusions.

"Do you want to talk? If you want to talk, I will help you reply."

"Let's talk, let's talk!" Nie Yunhan nodded hurriedly, trying to get up, but he was slapped down by his heart.

"Be honest!"

Zhuo Yingxia got out of bed, opened the door, and said to the orderly: "I haven't slept yet, please find a chariot, brother, and I will carry him to the commander with you."

"Oh, no, I'll report back right away, and the commander will come over in person in a moment." The orderly clasped his fists at Zhuo Yingxian, turned around and left in a hurry.

Nie Yunhan had eaten before, and had been lying on the bed steadily all the time. Now that he had strength, he grabbed the bedpost and sat up, leaning on his uninjured shoulder.

Zhuo Yingxian turned around and saw that this person got up, his expression darkened by three points.

Before he had time to attack, Nie Yunhan said with a smile: "Okay, I'm fine, I can't stay on my stomach all the time while chatting with the commander, it looks like I'm terminally ill, it's unlucky."

Zhuo Yingxian thought that this was true, so he went along with him: "Then stop chatting for a while, it will hurt you if you talk too much."

"Success, you supervise me by the side."

"You talk to the commander, who will supervise you." Zhuo Yingxian lit a candle, put on his robe, and took off the Fuxue hanging on the side, "I'm going to practice swords for a while."

After staying in the carriage for seven or eight days in a row, it was time to stretch my muscles.

Nie Yunhan: "..."

This sounded weird, as if he had handed over some kind of handkerchief to the commander.

A while later, Han Fang came over, Zhuo Yingxian met him face to face and went out, leaving space for them to have a long talk.

When he saw Han Fang at the back door of the Dusi Yamen before, Nie Yunhan was excited to see his old friend after escaping from death. Now that the two of them talked by candlelight at night, what filled his heart was endless emotion and sadness.

I haven't seen him for a few years, things are different, and Han Fang has aged a lot. He didn't realize it when he was in the dark at Qiluling before. Far from it.

"Yun Han, I couldn't keep you back then, and I've always felt ashamed." When Han Fang opened his mouth, he actually apologized, and when he said this, his eyes were also red.

As people get older, their emotions become much weaker. What is getting old is not only the body, but also the heart.

Nie Yunhan hurriedly said: "My lord, why did you say that! This incident was originally a conspiracy by the superiors. Once that incident happened, the adoptive father should have been set up as a model to stop Youyou's mouth, but he was not sat down in the end. The crime of collaborating with the enemy and treason is true, and the red boas are only disbanded. To have such a situation, you must have paid a lot behind the scenes, but don’t feel that you owe us anything.”

Han Fang smiled wryly, and didn't mention this again, but asked, "How did you know that the instigator behind it is Hirano?"

When Guan Pingye's name was mentioned, Nie Yunhan felt as if he was being pulled hard in his heart, and it hurt terribly.But then he thought about what this person had done, and felt guilty in his heart, feeling that he really shouldn't feel sorry for Guan Pingye anymore, otherwise how could he be worthy of the dead Yu Shu? !

"He wanted me to take revenge with him, so he tried his best to lure me to him, but he was afraid that the clues would be given too neatly, which would make me suspicious, so he played two roles, and went around a big circle, trying to sing a trick. Circle. It’s a pity that I can’t control him, and I don’t want to share his hatred with him, and he never dared to trust me completely, so it ended in the most tragic ending.”

Nie Yunhan took a deep breath, and slowly told Han Fang the whole story.

When the Korean side learned that Guan Pingye actually built a fake Guan Mountain, he, who had always been in front of the Taishan Mountain collapse and remained unchanged, couldn't help showing a surprised expression.

"He...he is so stupid!" The commander shook his head again and again, "He doesn't even know what kind of person his father is!"

Nie Yunhan was silent, Han Fang was right, if he hadn't had a deep understanding of how his adoptive father was, he wouldn't have been able to swing that knife decisively that day.

If he had hesitated at that time, perhaps the matter would have been difficult to end.

Han Fang sighed deeply, and said sadly: "Guan Shan is more like a martyr, he will be willing to sacrifice everything for the righteousness in his heart. The emperor is the foundation of Dayao, a loyal and patriotic person like him, even if he is wronged, he will not take revenge. Even... even if he really didn't die, even if he was dying, he wouldn't say a single word."

"If Dayao needs it, even if he loses his reputation, he will sacrifice his life!"

These words sounded like they had some deep meaning, Nie Yunhan raised his eyes, met Han Fang's shining eyes under the candlelight, and suddenly read a hint of other meaning.

He thought of Guan Shan's smile before he died, his heart beat fast, and he said in a hoarse voice, "Father...knows? He knows this, this is a game?"

Han Fang picked up the scissors, cut the wick of the candle, and after pondering for a moment, he said: "I have thought about this matter many times, and I always feel that the two of you are not guaranteed to die that day. The whole mechanism was designed by him. You should know how to get out of trouble, no matter how bad it is, you may be seriously injured, and you won’t have no other choice but to die.”

"I was thinking, he is such a smart person, maybe the moment he stepped on the twelve-chain chain, he knew everything in his heart."

"What you can think of, he will think of it faster than you. The reason why Duyu people can get the blueprint is obvious."

"Sacrificing him alone in exchange for a border truce, do you think he will do it?"

"I'm too stupid!" One sentence awakened the dreamer, and Nie Yunhan was enlightened instantly, and suddenly understood Guan Shan's sad smile before he died, that nostalgic and decisive expression, tears welled up in his eyes, "If I, if I I knew..."

Han Fang glanced at him: "So what if I knew you earlier? The knife rested on Guan Shan's neck. Either he died or he took you to die. If he failed, the emperor would not let him go. At that time For him, death seems to be the best choice."

"At first I was just skeptical, but later on the emperor didn't urge the third division to convict Guan Shan, nor did he deal with Guan Pingye, who was the son of a criminal minister, and even opened his eyes to the red boa. character, he would be willing to make such a sacrifice, and all the things the emperor showed were all because of his guilt towards Guan Shan."

Nie Yunhan gripped the bedpost tightly, and said sadly, "No... If I had been smart enough to know this earlier, maybe I could have persuaded Hirano—"

"It's useless. Freezing three feet doesn't happen in a day. Hirano's stubbornness to this point cannot be formed in a short period of time. How can you convince me with such a great determination and will?"

Nie Yunhan was startled: "You, you mean... Hirano has long held a grudge against the emperor?"

"He told you that he didn't know the cause of Mrs. Guan's death until he moved to Lin Yuan, did he?"

"Yes."

Han Fang sneered and said, "Mr. Lin and his wife kept the secret for so long, why did they let him know at that time? This is their family affair, do you think it is really so impenetrable?"

"So it's possible that Hirano knew very early on that the death of his adoptive mother and his disability were all thanks to the emperor?!" Nie Yunhan was stunned.

Han Fang was noncommittal, but asked: "You lived with Guan Shan and his son after you were 16 years old. What do you think of their father and son's relationship?"

"It's not enough to say that the father is kind and the son is filial. The foster father is not very good at expressing emotions. He is more than strict with Hirano, but not loving enough. Hirano is also very jealous of the foster father. Sometimes the two of them have to rely on me to make jokes to communicate. Take it easy." Nie Yunhan pondered, "So, there is indeed a bit of estrangement between the two of you."

Han Fang said indifferently: "There are many things outsiders can't see, only those involved know clearly. Why Guan Shan sent Guan Pingye back to Linyuan to live with his grandfather may not be all out of safety considerations—at least living in Tangzhou Mansion, if something happens, he can still protect Yihu, living so far away, he is beyond reach!"

Nie Yunhan thought carefully about what Han Fang said, and couldn't help frowning.

"Based on this, I really don't know much about Hirano, nor the relationship between him and foster father." He said depressedly.

Han Fang stood up and walked slowly: "That's because you have a deep relationship with your parents, so you naturally think that Guan Shan and his son are also like this."

"It's true that I haven't seen the other side of Hirano. I used to think he was a smart, quiet kid, but I didn't expect him to be so paranoid, selfish and vicious." Nie Yunhan rested his forehead on the bedpost , sadly said, "If Hirano knew why he was disabled, then his hatred for the emperor would not be a day or two, so this time he is not at all avenging his foster father, but... but for himself! "

"It took 20 years of holding grudges, and it was only then that he was desperate for one day. In fact, he couldn't tell who he was avenging for." Han Fang sighed, "It's useless to do what you do. Guan Shan is dead, and Guan Pingye is no longer bound. Now that there is a reason for revenge, how could you say he didn’t take action? It’s a pity that I figured it out too late, so it can only be regarded as an afterthought.”

Nie Yunhan hurriedly comforted him: "Commander, people's hearts are in the belly, and Hirano is the son of the adoptive father. We can't guess him in a dangerous place. You must not take the responsibility on yourself."

Han Fang looked at the light and shadow of the moon outside the window, and sighed heavily: "Even if this matter is over, everyone will not mention it again. Song Ming rushed to sell me, and he sent someone to send me a letter, saying that he would find a few corpses to confuse the real ones." , to prove to the court that you are dead, from now on there will be no old tribe of red boas, and there will be no more of you."

"The emperor intends to let you go. Whether he believes it or not, he will definitely not pursue it. I will also find someone to help you handle the household registration. You have no enemies. You don't have to live in hiding like Ling Chi and the others. I see you and that Mr. Zhuo is very affectionate, and you can live your life with peace of mind in the future—”

"Commander, I have a question to ask." Nie Yunhan grabbed the bedpost and stood up, looking at Han Fang seriously.

Han Fang turned to look at him, as if he knew what he wanted to ask, and after a moment of silence, he said, "Okay, you ask."

"The adoptive father is willing to die because he has great righteousness in his heart, and he did get the truce between the two countries. This result is enough to comfort his spirit in heaven." Nie Yunhan said with a heavy expression, "But he was still plotted against by others. I can't turn a blind eye to this matter. It’s even more impossible to let go easily.”

"Yunhan—"

"Can you tell me who is the person who advises the emperor!"

Nie Yunhan staggered a few steps towards Han Fang, his legs were still weak, he staggered accidentally, and fell forward, Han Fang immediately stretched out his hands to support him steadily.

"Commander, please tell me, is it Wu Yihao, the eunuch with the handprint of the Supervisor of Rituals?!" Nie Yunhan asked earnestly, "As soon as something happened to my adoptive father, he rushed to send Sun Wuyan over, trying to make me kill my adoptive father. , but they underestimated the relationship between me and my adoptive father! The life and death of the emperor is so important to Yao Guozuo, I don’t have to argue with him, but Wu Yihao, a dead eunuch, I will not let him go!”

Han Fang said helplessly: "Yun Han, let yourself go!"

"Is it him?!" Nie Yunhan asked stubbornly.

Han Fang stared into Nie Yunhan's eyes and remained silent, but Nie Yunhan refused to let it go and looked back at Han Fang firmly.

After the two confronted each other for a while, Nie Yunhan pleaded: "Commander, I will take care of my own safety, as you said, I still want to live a happy life with Ah Xian, I will never put myself in danger of!"

"Wu Yihao is a big bastard who can be punished by everyone." Han Fang helped Nie Yunhan walk to the bed, and sat him down, "There is no one but him who can come up with such a bastard idea."

Nie Yunhan held Han Fang's hand tightly, looked up at him, and said sincerely, "Thank you."

Han Fang's face was filled with worry: "Yun Han, we have lost Yu Shu, you...be careful."

"I will." Nie Yunhan replied, and changed the subject, "I heard from Big Brother Kong that you picked up Yu Shu's body?"

"Well, being underwater is not a long-term solution. I will send him back to his hometown in Tangzhou Mansion first. I just received the news that he has been buried next to his parents."

Mentioning the youngest Xiang Yushu, Han Fang obviously felt even more heartbroken, especially since he almost watched this child grow up.The young man didn't die on the battlefield, but died at the hands of his own people. He was still brutally murdered like that. Just thinking about the situation at that time, he felt that his mind was torn apart.

Nie Yunhan was already guilty of Xiang Yushu's death, but just now when he mentioned it, he was already so distressed that he couldn't breathe freely. Looking at Han Fang's expression at this moment, a feeling of mixed pain and hatred surged from his heart. Feeling guilty, he couldn't help kneeling down with a "plop": "Commander...it's my fault, it's my fault..."

"You silly boy, it's none of your business!" Han Fang quickly squatted down to help him, "The fault was Hirano's fault, how could I blame you!"

"I'm really... so useless. My foster brother can't take care of me, and my subordinates can't take care of me. How can I face my foster father in the future!"

Nie Yunhan sat back on the edge of the bed, feeling physically and mentally exhausted for a while, feeling that all his strength was gone with tears, he couldn't even straighten his back.

As a soldier, he was used to seeing life and death on the battlefield, so he had already overlooked this aspect, but the red boa and the others were closer than ordinary soldiers, and they were as close as a family.This time Nie Yunhan survived the catastrophe, everyone heaved a sigh of relief, on the way back to Songchang Mansion, they were all tacit, no one dared to mention Yu Shu's name, for fear of ruining the hard-won relaxed atmosphere.

Regardless of whether it is mentioned or not, Nie Yunhan can tell that everyone is silently paying homage in their hearts, and their indifference on the surface is nothing more than forced smiles.

Han Fang helped him up and pressed him back to the bed, and said earnestly: "Yun Han, you understand the truth, and I won't waste my time talking. No one will blame you for this matter, and you don't blame yourself, lest Yu Shuquan You can't feel at ease even if you know it, you know?! You have to live for him and live happily!"

Looking at Han Fang's red eyes, Nie Yunhan nodded seriously.

It's not the husband's fault to be trapped in grief, Yu Shu, Brother Han will definitely avenge you and sacrifice your spirit in heaven!
