At the end of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 665
The sky was dark, and fine snowflakes fell like elves, scattered everywhere.Changsun Heng'an came out of the imperial city and rushed home briskly, holding a piece of frozen pork in his left hand and a budding wintersweet in his right hand. Go home and bottle it for my wife.

Although Jiuzhou Pool is called a pool, it is actually a royal garden. It is located in the west of the imperial city, surrounded by mountains and rivers, with springs and streams. The concubine went to play in the Kyushu pool.

Changsun Chang, the uncle of Changsun Heng'an, is now serving as the captain of the Imperial Army in Jiuzhou Lake. His official position is neither high nor low, but he is just a cold bench, which is equivalent to taking care of the garden, and his subordinates are also in charge of hundreds of people.

After secretly assisting Changsun Wuji and his brother and sister Changsun Wugou to escape from Luoyang, Changsun Hengan stayed in Luoyang and was once arrested and imprisoned. His uncle Changsun Chang was also dismissed and questioned. It should be implicated in this incident. However, Yang Tong, the king of Yue who stayed behind in Luoyang, pardoned them, and Changsun Chang was able to resume his post and was transferred to guard Jiuzhouchi.

Last year, Changsun Heng'an also became a guard under the operation of his uncle, Changsun Chang, and was also on duty in Jiuzhouchi.

Changsun Hengan's wife was surnamed Xiahou, named Wan'er, and his father-in-law was named Xiahouchun, who was also a guard in the palace. His official position was one level lower than Changsun Chang's, and the marriage between Changsun Hengan and Xiahou Wan'er was facilitated by his uncle Changsun Chang. of.

If it was in the past, Xiahou's family must have been considered high-ranking, but since the death of the eldest grandson, the eldest grandson's family has completely declined. In addition, the eldest grandson Anye, the eldest son who inherited the family business, is lazy and addicted to gambling, and the family is almost ruined. At this time, it is not bad that someone is willing to marry the eldest grandson Heng'an.

However, although the eldest grandson Hengan is a concubine, he has outstanding talents, learning and good looks, and naturally has a high vision, so at first he looked down on Xiahou Wan'er, who didn't even know a single word. However, after getting married, the eldest grandson Heng'an discovered that although his wife Xiahou Wan'er was illiterate, she had a very good temperament and was also very intelligent, so he gradually accepted her. After more than a year of marriage, although life was poor, the husband and wife People respect each other like guests, which can be regarded as harmonious and beautiful. Last year, a fat boy was added to the family, and the relationship between the husband and wife became even more intimate.

Xiahou Wan'er is very smart. Her eldest grandson Heng'an taught her to read and write. She can learn to read almost immediately. Now she has almost no obstacles in reading. She also likes flower arrangement. She cleans the house spotlessly every day and tidies up all her belongings. She is indeed a smart person. A hard working woman.

The eldest grandson Heng'an was on duty in the Kyushu Pond today, and found that the wintersweet in the garden was blooming, so he couldn't help but secretly broke off a branch and hid it in his clothes to bring it out of the palace. Simple and beautiful love, probably like this!

Let's say that when the grandson Heng'an returned home, he heard his son's laughter as soon as he entered the courtyard, and he couldn't help feeling warm in his heart, so he walked quickly into the house.

At this time, the door of the house opened, and a young woman came out holding a baby about one year old. Although she looked ordinary, her eyes were big and dark, and they were twinkling. Ling, when you hear the courtyard door, you will know that Dad is back."

The baby obviously couldn't speak yet, and stretched out a pair of chubby little hands, babbling for a hug.While hugging his son, the eldest grandson Hengan handed the pig meat and the branch of wintersweet to his wife, and said with a smile: "Here, take it!"

Xia Hou Wan'er said pleasantly: "Thank you husband, what a beautiful wintersweet, where did you pick it?"

The eldest grandson Hengan smiled and said: "I picked it in the garden. Anyway, there are not many people going to the garden now. It is really a waste of a garden of plum blossoms, so I picked a branch for my husband and brought it back to my wife."

Xiahou Wan'er was both happy and worried, she shook her head and said: "My lord, don't break it next time, after all, it belongs to the royal family. Our family can't bear it, and we will lose our good fortune. If someone else finds out, my lord might have to return it." punished."

Changsun Hengan nodded and said, "Okay, let's not make an example."

Only then did Xiahou Wan'er turn her worries into joy, and wondered: "My husband just sent half a lamb back today, why did I buy pork meat again, it's too expensive."

The eldest grandson Heng'an was slightly stunned: "The lamb?"

"That's right, didn't you ask Shopkeeper Zhou from Nanshi to deliver it?" Xiahou Wan'er asked suspiciously.

"Lamb, lamb, Gao..." Changsun Hengan recited the telegram, slapped his forehead and said, "Yeah, I almost forgot, there is such a thing."

Xiahou Wan'er gave her husband a strange look, but didn't ask any further questions, and took the pork and winter plum into the house.

Early the next morning, the eldest grandson Heng'an hurried out of the house, Xia Hou Wan'er couldn't help but look worried when she saw this, she was naturally smart and noticed her husband's abnormality.

It is said that after Changsun Hengan got married, he separated from Changsun Anye. With Changsun Anye's temperament, it is naturally impossible to share too much with him, which is only a few dozen taels of silver. Changsun Hengan took this money and lived near Nanshi Yongtaifang bought a small courtyard, and the family moved in.

In the past, it would have been impossible to buy a small yard near Nanshi for a few dozen taels of silver, even if it was just entered. However, in recent years, housing prices in Luoyang have fallen sharply, and many houses are vacant. There is no place to live.

Let's say that after Changsun Hengan left home, he rushed to Nanshi in a hurry, and came to a butcher stall selling mutton. The guy was chopping mutton quickly, and asked enthusiastically, "Guest officer, do you want to buy mutton?"

Changsun Hengan nodded and said, "Is there a whole live lamb?"

The guy's eyes flashed, he put down the knife and wiped his hands and said: "There are, they are all behind, guest officer, please come with me, pick which one you like!"

"Thank you!" Chang Sun Hengan followed the waiter into the store.

"Shopkeeper Zhou, this guest officer wants a whole live lamb." The clerk yelled after entering the shop, a middle-aged man who looked like the shopkeeper came out and said enthusiastically: "The guest officer wants a live lamb, please come with me Behind."

Shopkeeper Zhou led his eldest grandson Hengan to the back yard, and said with a slight smile, "Young master eldest grandson, wait a moment, I will go in and report."

"No need, please come in, Mr. Grandson." A familiar voice came out, and Changsun Heng'an couldn't help being slightly shocked, and quickly stepped into the room.

I saw a young man standing in the hall, looking towards the door with a smile on his face. His brows were bright and his eyes were red, his lips were red and his teeth were white.

Although Changsun Heng'an had already guessed it, but seeing Gao Bufan standing in front of him at this moment, he couldn't help being excited. This kid is a bit too courageous, and he sneaked into Luoyang City himself. If he is discovered, the consequences will be disastrous.

"Eldest Sun Heng'an, I have met His Royal Highness King Qi!" The eldest grandson Heng'an took a deep breath and bowed respectfully.

Gao Bufan stepped forward: "Second brother, don't be too polite."

The eldest grandson Heng'an hurriedly said: "Don't dare, King Qi should call me Heng'an."

Gao Bufan smiled and said, "Heng An, please sit down."

The eldest grandson Hengan sat down on the chair next to him, and said solemnly: "King Qi's entering the city this time is a bit too risky."

Gao Bufan said calmly, "If you don't enter the tiger's lair, you won't get a tiger's cub, but Hengan can rest assured, this king has made proper arrangements, so there is no problem in getting out."

Changsun Hengan felt relieved when he heard the words, and said in a low voice: "King Qi went deep into the tiger's den, but for...?"

Gao Bufan nodded calmly, and Changsun Hengan's eyes flashed with excitement, and he said in a deep voice, "Now is indeed a good time, but it is not easy to get things done, because there are at least [-] defenders in the city."

Gao Bufan smiled calmly and said: "It's okay, if I'm not sure, I won't sneak into the city myself, but I just want to ask Hengan for help."

"You said, Hengan will do everything in its power!" the eldest grandson Hengan said decisively.

With the relationship of the eldest grandson Wugou, the interests of the eldest grandson family are bound together with Gao Qi. If Gao Qi wins the world, the eldest grandson family will naturally become extremely prestigious. Not only can the family be revived, but the glory will definitely be more prosperous than before , Changsun Hengan is naturally willing to give it a go.Of course, this premise is that Gao Qi has the strength to win the world. If Gao Bufan does not have this strength, Changsun Hengan will definitely refuse.

Gao Bufan said happily: "Then I would like to thank Second Brother, I wonder how the guards in the palace are doing now?"

Changsun Heng'an is very clear about this, because he goes in and out of the palace every day, he can't say exactly how many guards and checkpoints there are in the palace, but it is generally clear.

Immediately, Changsun Heng'an explained it carefully to Gao Bufan, and also roughly drew the military deployment in the palace.Gao Bufan couldn't help being overjoyed, he stood up and gave a deep bow and said, "Second brother really helped me a lot this time, the big thing will be accomplished."

The eldest grandson Heng'an was also very excited when he heard the words, but more nervous, reminding: "Wang Shichong's elder brother Wang Shiyun is now an internal historian, and he lives in the palace to monitor the emperor (Yang Tong). Most of the palace guards obey his orders." Dispatch, if the king of Qi wants to take down the palace and rescue the emperor, it is best to start with Wang Shiyun first."

Gao Bufan smiled and said: "Capture the thief first and capture the king. What Heng An said is very true. By the way, the king intends to see his uncle. Can I ask Heng to arrange it?"

The eldest grandson Heng'an pondered for a while before saying: "Heng'an just give it a try."

Gao Bufan was very reassured about Changsun Hengan, but he was not sure about Changsun Chang. After all, this kind of thing would cost the lives of a family, and Changsun Chang might not dare to accept it, so Gao Bufan first approached Changsun Hengan to build a bridge. If you are open and willing to cooperate, then the success rate of this operation will be greatly improved.

Of course, if Gao Bufan disregarded the life of Yue Wang Yang Tong, the success rate would definitely be higher, but he promised Qing Ruo at the beginning that he would save Yang Tong's life, so it is not easy to break his promise, and Yang Tong is a good person, and he has helped many times before. For himself, Gao Bufan is also not willing to die.
