Shu Blossoms

Chapter 35 Grievance

The early morning of the rainy season was foggy and damp.

Liniang hired a carriage to carry Qi's coffin to the Buddhist temple in the east of the city.

This Buddhist temple is the former residence of the Wang family of Langya nobility, covering a wide area.When the Wang family moved to the south, the house was turned into a temple, so that it could be preserved in the war.

Benefiting from the fame of the Wang family, the incense of Buddhist temples has always been strong.

Mrs. Zheng donated a lot of incense money, and the lady of the county governor also handed in the message, so that Mrs. Qi could be cremated this morning.

During the chanting of the "Ksitigarbha Sutra", Qi's body slowly disappeared into the raging flames.

Liniang collected Qi's ashes and enshrined them in the Buddhist hall. She personally recited and prayed for Qi's.

Zheng Wei stayed by Mrs. Zheng's side today and did not come.

Mrs. Zheng has been ill for a long time. After seeing Zheng Wei's safety, her spirit improved a little, but she was still a little haggard.

In order to reassure her grandmother, Zheng Wei stayed by her side all day, sometimes helping her with a fan, sometimes passing tea soup or feeding her medicine, and was attentive.

Her serious and clumsy appearance finally amused Mrs. Zheng.

Seeing her grandmother smiling, Zheng Wei secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

She was really afraid that her grandmother dragged her and asked how much she had suffered along the way and how much suffering she had suffered. She said that she had not suffered any crime along the way, at most her stomach was not full and her feet were blistered.

But what she said was an understatement, and the grandmother actually cried silently, blaming herself for not taking good care of her.

After staying at the county government for two days, my grandmother couldn't wait to return to Kyoto.

They have delayed too much time along the way, and things have changed from time to time, and everyone is afraid.

Zheng Wei agreed when he saw that his grandmother was in good health.

The day before departure, Liniang also returned from the Buddhist temple.

She will return to Jingkou with Zheng Wei and the others, and let Qi Qi return to her roots.

"Grandmother, did you say there is news from Brother A?"

In the carriage, Zheng Wei remembered hearing Xiao Yucheng say something about brother, when she was busy taking care of Qi's funeral and didn't pay attention to it.

"Yeah, I didn't expect your brother to go to Taiyuan County secretly with General Han, or whether a general recognized him before the war, and he went to the battlefield with his wishes. But he was young and inexperienced. If it wasn't for General Han to send someone to come back to protect him, I'm afraid that he would suffer a serious crime."

Mrs. Zheng said that she was also afraid. The Zheng family and the others were the only seedlings. How could they have three strengths and two weaknesses!

Zheng Wei didn't feel much distress, she saw a lot of hardships along the way, but she felt that there was nothing wrong with suffering a little bit!
Like Tuoba Yu, the dignified third prince of the Wei Dynasty, but only one year older than his brother, he can be on his own.

Xiao Yucheng even struggled in the barracks at the age of 13. Now, not to mention his experience in hundreds of battles, he is also used to seeing swords and swords.

Her brother was well protected. Neither grandfather nor father had real power in the court. They hoped that brother could write a book and write a book like the predecessors and become a generation of celebrities.

She hadn't felt so bad before, being a ranger or a romantic celebrity was more comfortable than those in Jiankang.

Having experienced the hardships of this world, she felt that without the wind and rain, brother, she could only be a scribe in a greenhouse and could not become a honed ranger or a celebrity who cared about the country and the people.

I only hope that the blood on the battlefield does not wipe out Brother A's ambition, but becomes a stepping stone for his growth.

Thinking of Tuobayu, she remembered Xiao Yucheng's message that Tuobayu wanted to see her.

Xiao Yucheng had sent the news of Tuobayu's capture back to the capital before, and the emperor had ordered that Xiao Yu would be sent back to Jiankang by his own parents, and his safety must be guaranteed.

She was originally surprised that Xiao Yucheng could agree to send a message on behalf of Tuo Bayu, or He Li quietly told her that although Tuo Bayu could only lie down, Xiao Yucheng was very annoyed by the daily changes of law, and now he didn't dare to tell her the truth. How to take him.

In the end, they made a deal. As long as Zheng Wei agreed to meet him, he would honestly accompany Xiao Yucheng back to the capital.

Zheng Wei instinctively didn't want to promise him, with the experience of getting along these days, there must be no good thing for Tuo Bayu to see her so persistently!

But Xiao Yucheng also helped her a lot along the way, and took great pains to lead someone to save her!The Zheng family and her owe him a great deal of favor!

And the famous cold-faced Langjun in Kyoto bowed his head and begged for help. If she refused, she could not bear it.

Anyway, Tuoba Yu made some excessive demands, and he couldn't hide it from Xiao Yucheng.
After thinking about it for a long time, Zheng Wei went to the carriage behind to meet Tuobayu during the noon break.

The three of them looked at each other for a long while, but Tuobayu couldn't hold back, and said first, "We already know your identity."

Zheng Wei nodded and admitted, "My father, the prince, gave up Zheng Ye, and my mother, the eldest princess Xunyang."

She looked directly at Xia Houqing when she spoke.

The hatred in Xia Houqing's eyes was not concealed in any way. His injury was slightly lighter than that of Tuoba Yu.

It has been less than ten years since the bloody incident, and Jiankang's moat has not yet washed away the blood of the Xiahou royal family.

Although Xiahouqing was not a direct descendant of the Xiahou royal family, he lived in Jingzhou with his parents when he was still young. Later, his father fled in time and sent someone to deliver a letter to his mother, and they were spared the slaughter.

But many of his blood relatives died in the massacre, and he loved his grandmother the most, the cousin who grew up with him, the slim cousin...

His father fled to Dawei, and his mother took him and Amei all the way to evade, hunt and hunt in Tibet. Later, Amei contracted a serious illness on a small road and died at a young age, and his mother became seriously ill not long after he was sent to Dawei. Died after a year of hard work!
These piles of pieces are endless blood feuds!
After so many years, this was the first time I saw a person of Yue's blood lying in the body. Even if this person was not named Yue, I would like to kill her immediately, and I should receive some money.

Tuo Bayu tightly clenched Xia Houqing's arm to prevent him from being impulsive.

When Tuobayu opened his mouth, Zheng Wei knew why he was looking for him.

She concealed her surname before because she knew the unsolvable grievance between Xiahou's family and her grandfather.

But now that Daozu and Yurou have switched positions, Xiahouqing wants to kill himself, not to mention whether he can do it or not, first of all he has to consider Tuobayu's personal safety. can no longer stand.

In other words, Tuobayu's identity is sensitive, and he is the handle for Da Zhou to contain Da Wei when he is alive. If he accidentally dies in Da Zhou's territory, Da Wei will have an excuse to strike first, and Da Zhou will be passive.

Even though he was shackled a lot when he entered the capital, his life was not in danger, and Xiao Yucheng had to work hard to protect him along the way.

But Xiahouqing is different. Yu Gong is only the son of the enemy general's general, and the general is a rebel of Da Zhou.Yu Si, he is the son of the enemy of the Great Zhou Emperor.

For both public and private purposes, the emperor would not allow him to leave Da Zhou alive.

If they arrived in Xiapi and were sent to a special boat to escort them, Xia Houqing would have almost no chance of escaping.

Therefore, he had to escape before reaching Xiapi.
