Chapter 265 Extra Story: Take You Home (Part [-] of Parents Love Yun Zhi)
Arriving at the Tao Mansion, Tao Xingyuan was anxiously looking for his daughter, and saw her daughter stepping off the carriage gracefully and walking into the mansion gracefully.
Thinking of the last time I left home for a year, this made Tao Xingyuan angry, and he stepped forward and reprimanded him: "Zhixi, why are you still running around? Your cousin is waiting for you to recover After getting married, if you still run around like this, what if your aunt is dissatisfied?"
Tao Zhixi felt aggrieved and said, "Can't I change someone? Do I have to marry my cousin?"
Hearing this, Tao Xingyuan said helplessly: "Little ancestor, you married someone to avoid the draft. Only people in the Tao family are willing to take this risk. If you don't marry your cousin, who else do you want to marry?" ?”
Tao Zhixi looked back at Qi Yun, stretched out her little finger shyly, and said in a muffled voice, "Can't you marry him?"
At this time, Tao Xingyuan noticed that there was a person standing behind his daughter, and he was a big celebrity in the court, the best son-in-law in every lady's heart, he said in surprise: "General Qi."
Qi Yun respectfully reciprocated politely, and said, "Master Tao."
"My little girl is naughty, don't take her words seriously. Later, I will talk to her properly."
Qi Yun smiled lightly and said, "Miss Zhixi is frank, who wouldn't like it?"
Hearing this, Tao Xingyuan was stunned, and felt that the more he heard it, the more strange it became.Miss Zhixi?This title is a bit close.And from what it means, Qi Yun doesn't seem to object to this marriage.
Tao Zhixi was also stunned for a moment when she heard the words, turned to look at him, and summoned up her courage to say, "General Qi, I want you to know that I didn't go back to the capital and stayed in the barracks because I had no choice but to do it on purpose."
Qi Yun grinned like a boy, and replied: "I also want you to know that I did it on purpose when I followed the agreement, and it was true that I wanted to take you home."
The woman couldn't help laughing when she heard the words, Tao Xingyuan looked at the two of them, finally gave a fatherly smile of relief, and turned around to cancel the marriage between Tao Zhixi and her cousin.
After Qi Yun returned to the mansion, he mentioned the marriage to Qi Yuan.Although he didn't understand why Qi Yun suddenly thought about it, but after hearing that the other party was the daughter of the Tao family, whose status matched the Qi family's, and he couldn't be Qi Yun's master, Qi Yuan finally nodded in agreement.
On the day of the wedding, Qi Yun entertained all parties, and all the people in the capital participated in it. The grandeur of the battle was astonishing.The man who had always been in armor changed into a red groom's suit. He was tall and straight, riding a white horse, and took her home step by step according to the agreement between them.
Because of the arrival of the couple, Fusheng Pavilion was filled with flowers, as if the whole world had calmed down.
Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, the two have been married for more than a year.
A delicate servant girl was watering the flowers in the courtyard cheerfully and lightly. At this moment, Tao Zhixi's surprised voice came: "Siyun, come quickly, the child just kicked me."
The handsome servant girl named Baitang before but now named Siyun ran into the house upon hearing the sound, and the woman in the house was caressing her swollen belly, her face was filled with the soft radiance of motherhood, happy and dazzling.
Qi Yun was putting his ears on his belly, listening carefully to the traces from this little life.
Siyun laughed and said: "Being so naughty before he was born, he must be a young master."
Hearing this, Tao Zhixi asked Qi Yun, "Then do you want a boy or a girl?"
"I like them all." Qi Yun said without hesitation, "However, I hope it's a girl more, and I will protect her from growing up in the future, so as not to be married by some brat."
The other two couldn't help laughing when they heard the words, Tao Zhixi said: "As long as it's Zizhou and my children, I like both boys and girls. The weather is fine today, and I want to go to the temple to pray for the children."
"Okay, I'll go with you." Qi Yun stood up and carefully supported Tao Zhixi, and carefully put on her outer clothes to prevent her from catching cold.
The deputy general acted as a coachman and drove the two to Fulong Temple. Fulong Temple was peaceful, and all the worshipers bowed down devoutly. The linden tree in the corner was lush and green.
After kneeling down and praying with the crowd in the main hall, the couple passed through the bustling crowd and walked along the roadside.
Just when the two were talking and laughing sweetly, they heard a calm call, with a bit of compassion in their tone, as if they had seen through everything in the world.
"Two benefactors, don't you come to divination?"
Hearing the sound and looking at it, it turned out to be a monk with a kind face.The monk had no beard on his face, smooth skin, and his demeanor seemed to have experienced the precipitation and calmness of vicissitudes, which made people wonder how old he was.However, the corner of his mouth was full of conspiracies and calculations. This somewhat unscrupulous feeling made him look amiable and reliable with a hint of smoke and fire.
At this time, he was sitting behind a small desk not far away. It was strange to say that there were crowds of people around him, but no one came forward where he was, as if he was separated from this bustling world.
The two stopped, and the lieutenant also muttered: "General, madam, let's go, this old monk seems a little unreliable."
The two nodded in agreement when they heard the words, and when they were about to leave, they heard the old monk say again: "Don't leave, the benefactor, the poor monk just has a good relationship with the two of you, thinking that the merits you have done today are full, so let's go." If you want to make a divination for the two of you, it will be regarded as accumulating blessings for the next life." Then he blinked slightly mischievously, "It's free."
The husband and wife looked at each other very strangely and confusedly, thinking about leaving, but the other party kept looking at them with a smile, which made them unable to refuse.
With a soft heart, the two walked forward.
Kong Wu, who was still young and mischievous with a trace of human breath, smiled, stretched out his hand to invite the two to sit down, and said, "I also ask the two benefactors to extend their arms."
The two acted according to the words, and Kong Wu's fingers lightly touched the wrists of the two, exploring the future fate of the visitor as usual.
Half a quarter of an hour later, Kong Wu raised his head and said, "The poor monk has already seen the future outcome of the two of you."
"Oh? What is it?" Qi Yun asked.
Kong Wu's face remained unchanged, as if the matter had nothing to do with him, and replied: "You will die."
Tao Zhixi showed shock, but Qi Yun smiled lightly: "Life is about to die, it's not a big deal."
"No." Kong Wu shook his head, "You two died by accident, not in peace." Then he looked at Qi Yun, "Donor, don't you understand it very well?"
Qi Yun frowned lightly, full of dignity.He did have a premonition, from Emperor Zhaozheng's deep and subtle hostility that was obviously slightly concealed, as well as his deliberate suppression of the Qi family and him, he felt that the future was not good, and it was very likely that he would die unexpectedly.
But when someone mentioned it like this, he still couldn't help being surprised and uneasy.
Tao Zhixi looked at her husband's obviously solemn profile, and knew in her heart that this monk was probably telling the truth.She took a deep breath, accepted this disturbing fact, and asked anxiously: "Master, may I ask if the two of us will die unexpectedly, what will be the fate of our child in the future?"
Only then did Kong Wu notice the little life in Tao Zhixi's belly, he looked at the swollen belly with pity, and said, "Wait for the poor monk to take another look."
He carefully felt the beating pulse under his fingers, and muttered in his heart that the parents are dead, so the child should have the same fate.
But suddenly a strange fate that he had never seen before completely changed his opinion, and he looked at the unborn little life with unconcealed surprise, and said in amazement: "This...she..."
"Master, what's the matter?" Tao Zhixi asked.
Kong Wu sighed, and replied softly: "Her life is full of misfortunes, and she will be stained with sin and pain from then on, and it is very likely that she will be alone all her life."
"What?" The husband and wife were surprised at the same time.
"However, it's very strange." Kong Wu smiled warmly, "Even so, her footsteps never stopped, and her long future is still going on." Continuing to explore this strange fate, Kong Wuluan said, "Oh, Did you meet him?" Looking at the unborn little guy, he smiled and said, "Although you are unlucky, you are also a lucky little guy. Live well, little guy, you still have a long way to go. "
Both of them heaved a sigh of relief, Tao Zhixi stroked her lower abdomen and muttered to herself, "Is there a long future?"
Although the theory of gods and Buddhas is not credible, they both got up and thanked politely when they heard the blessings from others.
The husband and wife walked forward with a heavy heart. At this time, an empty voice came from behind: "Almighty, in this world, a boy is better than a girl."
The two figures paused, then looked back at Kong Wu, and found that the corners of his mouth were curled up for no apparent reason, and there was a kind reminder in his eyes.After Qi Yun was slightly stunned, he said knowingly, "Thank you, Master, for your reminder."
Kong Wu nodded with a smile, and the husband and wife also walked forward.
Looking at the backs of the two people in front of him, Kongwu murmured: "Is that so? Are you paving the way for her?" He sighed and smiled, "If that's the case, then let's be her guide, her bright future will only come soon." Just started."
After returning to the Fusheng Pavilion, Tao Zhixi asked Qi Yun, "Did something happen in the government? Since you came back from Fulong Temple, you have been restless."
After thinking about it for a long time, Qi Yun finally said: "It's just a hunch. Recently, the Holy Majesty has suppressed the Qi family intentionally or unintentionally. I'm afraid the Qi family will never be peaceful. For you, and for the child, or else, I will arrange for you to escape in advance. You are just a Ladies, the imperial court will not embarrass you."
"What about you?" Tao Zhixi had tears in her eyes, "You let me escape alone, what about you? Are you planning to face all this alone?"
After pondering for a moment, Qi Yun replied, "Zhi Xi, I am the only general of the Qi family, no matter what, I cannot escape, so..."
"So, are you going to send me out of the house?" Tao Zhixi continued crying, "Qi Zizhou, since you brought me home, you have to be responsible to the end. In this life, you don't want to push me, Tao Zhixi. Come on, I, Tao Zhixi, have depended on you, Qi Zizhou, for the rest of my life."
The woman was pregnant, and the tears fell on the pink face, which was pitiful.This moved the man, he stretched out his hand to hug the woman tightly, and said in a warm voice: "You still cry so much, I don't know if the child will be like you. Don't cry, I won't send you away, the two of us will never separation."
The man gently wiped away the tears on the woman's face with his fingers, and the woman bit her lower lip tightly while crying, and finally nodded.
At the same time, in the study of Qi's family, Qi Wen frowned tightly, and said to Qi Yuan indignantly, "Father, what does your Majesty mean by this? Depriving you of your cabinet powers and letting you go home to recuperate, what's the difference between this and dismissal?" When he was young, you were the one who carefully taught him, and you were the one who could win the throne. Who knows, when he was firmly seated on the throne, he started crossing rivers and demolishing bridges. How can our Qi family feel sorry for him? He actually made things difficult for you. , regardless of the kindness of teachers and students back then."
Qi Yuan, on the other hand, had a sad face, waved his hands and said, "Forget it, Wen'er, the Holy Majesty is now the Ninth Five-Year Supreme in Southern Chu, and he is no longer the well-behaved and childish student before, let alone the playmate you grew up with. He is the ruler, we are the ministers, since ancient times there is a difference between rulers and ministers, all we can do is obey."
"But... what if he is ruthless?" Qi Wen said what he was worried about.
Qi Yuan was slightly stunned when he heard the words, and then retorted thoughtfully: "Impossible, although he is a gentleman, but anyway, I am his teacher, the child I watched grow up day by day, it is impossible for him to So heartless."
"Really not?" Qi Wen looked straight into Qi Yuan's eyes and asked sharply, "Father, it's because he was the child you grew up with, so you know his past best. Now the Qi family He is already the head of all the families, if he wants to suppress you, the third younger brother, and the Qi family, isn't that a matter of course? Therefore, the most important thing we should do now is to let the Holy One dispel the idea of destroying the Qi family. In this way, we Only the Qi family can have a chance."
Qi Yuan stared blankly at the faint flames burning in Qi Wen's eyes, and finally nodded in agreement.
In order to save their lives, everyone in the Qi family released their powers one after another.When Qi Wen went to court, he took the initiative to recommend a child from a family who had always been at odds with the Qi family to the Ministry of Rites to share the power equally, and Qi Yun handed over half of the soldier talisman in his hand to release the military power on his own initiative.
Emperor Zhaozheng was surprised, but also turned pale, and paused for a while to suppress the Qi family.
Without military power, Qi Yun is relaxed and has more time to spend with his wife.Soon, it was time for Tao Zhixi to give birth.
On this day, the whole Fusheng Pavilion was in a hurry.Qi Yun stood outside the delivery room, his eyes couldn't hide the anxiety.
"Wow-"
It wasn't until a loud baby cry sounded that the gentle man finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He opened the door and walked to the bedside, looking at the pale and haggard woman, he called out, "Zhixi."
The woman struggled to open her eyes when she heard the sound, and replied weakly, "Zizhou, it's a girl."
Qi Yun was stunned for a moment when he heard the words, knowing that the matter was far from over, he smiled relievedly, and said with the usual smile on his face: "Hello, girl, she is cute, sensible and sweet, and you can call me Daddy sweetly."
But Tao Zhixi's painful and pitiful expression appeared on her dejected face, her eyes were slightly red, and she said: "Then what will happen to this child's future? No one can say for sure what will happen to the Qi family. A girl, she How do we face this dangerous future?"
The smile on the corner of the man's mouth gradually faded, and after a long silence, he said, "How can Zhixi not trust our child? Our child must be the strongest. From now on, let her live as a boy. A long future awaits her."
Then, he lowered his head and looked at the baby girl in his arms, "How about Daddy choosing the name Shaoyi for you? Our Shaoyi has the most beautiful demeanor among all the girls in the world, and we will definitely be a beautiful girl in the future."
Tao Zhixi smiled gratifiedly when she heard the words, and approached her daughter's face with all her strength, kissed her forehead tenderly, and said, "Xiao Shaoyi, you are the best gift God has given us."
The little baby girl stretched out her tender little hands to caress her mother's face as if she had sensed something, and responded with a few sticky cries of "Wow".
With the passage of time, Qi Yun's worries were gradually revealed, and his intentions became reality.Originally, the release of most of the Qi family's powers slightly appeased Emperor Zhaozheng's heart, but the Qi family's foundation is too deep, and most of the families in Southern Chu still follow the Qi family's lead.
In addition, the Beishuo army attacked again, so that Emperor Zhaozheng had to re-delegate military power to Qi Yun's hands, and the Qi family's initiative to decentralize power had no effect at all.This rekindled Emperor Zhaozheng's desire to destroy the Qi family, and the government's suppression of the Qi family made Qi Wen and Qi Yun miserable.
When Qi Yun went to the border with a military amulet in his hand, the one-year-old little Qi Ze took small, fragmented steps and staggered into his father's arms, speaking incoherently for the first time: "Daddy... Daddy...Mother and Shaoyi...wait for Daddy."
Qi Yun was overjoyed by this call, bent down to hug his daughter, and said with joy, "Xiao Shaoyi can talk now, don't worry, Daddy will be back soon. When I come back, Daddy will take Shaoyi to buy it." food."
He pinched his daughter's nose dotingly, which made Xiao Qi Ze giggle and nodded obediently.
This time, Qi Yun returned from victory.But when he returned to the court, Emperor Zhaozheng could not see the joy with the naked eye. On the contrary, the gloomy and hostile brows were even more serious, and the military power that had to be devolved became one of his heart problems.
After this incident, Emperor Zhaozheng also understood that Qi Yun's prestige and cohesion in the court far exceeded his imagination. Except for Qi Yun, no one in the court dared to confront Beishuo's army.
Also this time, Qi Wen finally understood what Emperor Zhaozheng was thinking. Looking at the dim light in Emperor Zhaozheng's eyes, he understood that what Emperor Zhaozheng wanted to do most was to take back the military power and drive Qi Yun out of the hearts of the people and the officials. prestige.
And the best way to get rid of prestige is to get rid of people. In other words, as long as Qi Yun is gone, the entire Qi family can be kept.
Qi Wengang felt shocked when he thought this way, how could he exchange his own life with his own brother's life?But thinking that everyone in the Qi family might die because of this in the future, Qi Wen, who was greedy for life and afraid of death, finally went to Qi Yuan's study to discuss the matter together.
"What did you say?" Qi Yuan looked at his eldest son in shock, "Wen'er, you want to trade Zi Zhou's life for the entire Qi family's survival?"
"That's right." Qi Wen's expression was cold and firm, "Father, I believe you have seen the scene when the third brother returned to the court this time. The Holy Majesty did not have any rewards this time, only endless hostility. Does that mean that as long as If the third younger brother is pushed out, then the Holy Majesty may be lenient towards the Qi family? Then our Qi family will be able to survive."
"Impossible." Qi Yuan staggered and almost fell, he stretched out his hand tremblingly and pushed Qi Wen away, "Impossible, Zizhou is my own son, I can't exchange Zizhou's life."
Qi Wen didn't show any anger on his face, but looked at him with very calm eyes, with a little sadness in his tone, "Father, the third brother is your son, don't I? I can turn a blind eye to life, won't my heart hurt?"
This man who has always been dignified and self-sustaining is actually full of tears at this moment, "Father only knows that the third brother is your son, so do you know that I am also your son, and Chen'er and A Zhe are still your grandsons. Could it be that father can just sit there and watch him?" Watching Chen'er and Azhe be beheaded, will all your sons be imprisoned and tortured to death?"
Qi Wen roared, his trembling hands clasped the shoulders of Qi Yuan who had been stunned for a long time, his lips swallowed the tears that flowed to the corners of his mouth, and he almost begged: "Father, I beg you, my son. My son wants to live. Chen'er and Ah Zhe also want to live, if one person's life is exchanged for the survival of all the Qi family, it's worth it. Father can also survive because of this, can't he?"
Hearing this, Qi Yuan covered his face with his hands and cried out.Let go again, the salty tears have already muddy the old face suddenly.He choked up, his eyes were tranced and sad, he pushed Qi Wen's hands away and walked out of the room alone, and said to himself: "It's worth it? Yes, it's worth it, everything is worth it, it's worth it, hahaha."
Qi Yuan walked out of the room with a sad smile, leaving only Qi Wen with a lonely and broken back.Although Qi Yuan didn't say where he was going, Qi Wen knew it well, he was going to the palace to ask the current Ninth Five-Year Master, the so-called well-behaved student who respected his teacher.
In front of the imperial palace and the Golden Luan Hall, a figure with a vigorous back is kneeling upright. When you walk in front of him, you will find that his eyes are empty and bottomless like black holes in the dark night.
An eunuch came leisurely and persuaded: "Old Master Qi, what is this for? You are aloof, different from ordinary ministers. You are kneeling in front of this golden palace to frustrate all the officials. You should get up quickly." , don’t make things difficult for the Holy One.”
"I'm sorry." Qi Yuan's lips moved, "As long as the Holy One doesn't see the old minister for a day, the old minister will not be able to kneel forever."
Seeing Qi Yuan being so tough, the eunuch waved his whisk and left angrily.
I didn't see a figure in white standing behind the vermilion palace gate not far away.Qi Yun looked at the back of his father in front of him, a layer of understanding and sorrow floated in his usually peaceful eyes, and the stars in those dark eyes no longer shined brightly.After a long time, he let out a chuckle like a lament, then turned around and left, and the Qingyuan figure was no longer there.
After three sunrises and sunsets, his straight waist, like a pine tree, had already bowed deeply. The passage of time and the longing for life made him lose his dignity.However, within three days, wrinkles appeared on his always radiant face, like mottled lines deep in the trunk of a tree, and sporadic white spots appeared in his meticulously combed hair.
The eunuch came leisurely as usual, and ordered: "Old Master Qi, get up, the Holy Majesty has summoned you."
The veteran kneeling on the ground, his eyes fixed like a sculpture, suddenly moved. He put his forehead on the ground, saluted and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty." The voice was not happy, but full of his own sadness and faint sobs.
When Beishuo's army invaded again, Qi Yun was summoned into the palace according to the imperial order, and Tao Zhixi watched him leave reluctantly.
Why did Qi Yuan kneel in front of the Golden Luan Hall for three days, and why did he not meet Qi Yun when he returned home after being summoned by the Holy Majesty, instead he looked away and was at a loss?
On the day Qi Wen asked Qi Yuan, Qi Yun listened quietly outside the room.At this moment, it is tantamount to a catastrophe.
When Qi Yun returned to the mansion with the complete soldier talisman, Tao Zhixi couldn't help but burst into tears.Why are you willing to let go of power when you have already taken back the military power, and the hostility in your heart is so far?This is obviously a trap, a trap to force Qi Yun to die.
Tao Zhixi understood all this in her heart, and knew that as long as Qi Yun was abandoned, she and Qi Ze might survive.But without Qi Yun, how could she and Qi Ze survive without incident?What is the meaning of her life?
"Zizhou..." Tao Zhixi looked at her husband and broke down in tears.
But Qi Yun smiled lightly: "Yes, as long as you sacrifice me, father, elder brother and second elder brother, you and Shao Yi, you can survive. All of this is really worth it in general."
Tao Zhixi shook her head with tears in her eyes, choked up and said nothing.
The man suddenly smiled cheerfully, like a clean boy, "Zhi Xi, I have thought about it. If the honor of my hussar general dying in battle is useful to Shao Yi, then let me die in this way. I hope Shao Yi To live a good life, I hope she can survive like an ordinary child in the surviving Qi family, instead of wandering and hiding with me."
The woman took a deep breath, forced herself to calm down, and said: "If this is what you want to do, and you have made up your mind, then I have no reason to stop you. Die like a hero, this may be your last wish." Good place to stay."
She stepped forward to hug him and whispered, "I'm proud of you, Zi Zhou."
The man smiled with relief, but there was no trace of grief in it.
For her daughter's future, Qi Yun has made all the plans.He packed the important military talisman called the lifeblood of the country into a piece of black jade, which was thick in color and about the size of his palm.
Before leaving for the expedition, he squatted down, looked at his daughter seriously for the last time, and hung the piece of black jade around her neck.
"Shao Yi, I don't know when, you have already grown up to three years old. Originally, Daddy planned to accompany you to grow up, but who knows, this is actually an extravagant wish." His slender and gentle fingers stroked his daughter's face , still with a gentle smile on his face, "Live strong, live like a man standing upright."
He got up resolutely to complete his last mission.
At the border of Beishuo, Qi Dai half-raised the military map in his hand in surprise, "The military map of Southern Chu? It's a lie, where did it come from?"
All the soldiers looked at each other and shook their heads. One soldier said, "General, this military defense map just quietly appeared on your desk. I'm afraid there may be fraud in it."
But Qi Dai sneered: "This may be deceitful, but Qi Yun doesn't know how to play this trick. Qi Yun is a strong and upright person, and never bothers to play those insidious tricks. Obviously, Qi Yun doesn't know about it at all." .”
"Then this military defense map..."
"Use it, since it's sent here, then use it. So what if there's a fraud in it? As long as you can beat that bastard Qi Yun, then it's worth it." Qi Dai said indifferently.
After a fierce battle, Qi Dai looked triumphantly at the afterimage of defeat in the distance, hugged his chest and said, "This still can't beat you bastard? It's not in vain that this general volunteered to bring troops here from thousands of miles away." Toss, hahaha."
The man looked up to the sky triumphantly and laughed, only to hear a bang, the afterimage fell straight down, and disappeared into the world with his proud sword.
This sound made Qi Dai's laughter stop abruptly, and also made all the soldiers in Beishuo exclaim on the spot.
After the silence passed, Xiao Bing said: "General, the soldiers of Southern Chu were defeated, and General Qi Yun also killed himself. We can attack now."
But Qi Dai's expression was gloomy, as if he had lost his confidant and friend, he waved his hands in frustration, "Forget it, everyone is dead, it's boring. Let's collect his body and bury it, and we will return to the court as a teacher." His eyes were gloomy, like a cloud Gray Haze, "I also...will not come to Border Gate again."
The sky was like ink, and the rain was pouring down.
News of Hussar General Qi Yun's death on the battlefield spread to the capital.
Tao Zhixi woke up from her sleep, as if a large piece of her heart had been taken away, the pain was unspeakable.
She clutched her chest, and the heart-piercing cry wanted to rush out of her throat, but the woman raised her arm to cover it in time. She bit her arm tightly, and the cry she wanted to utter changed into a silent sob. The pain tearing her apart was overwhelming.
She knew that all of this would come eventually, but at the moment when it really came, she couldn't be calm.
The little Qi Ze next to her was sleeping soundly, knowing nothing about this moment that would change her life.
At the same time, on the other side of the Qi Mansion, Qi Yuan couldn't help crying out loud, like a desperate old beast who lost his beloved son, he raised his trembling and weak legs and was about to crawl out of the door, "Zi Zhou, my son Boat--"
"Father." Qi Wen rushed over, trying to help his father, who has always been extremely dignified and respected, but was pushed away by Qi Yuan, and climbed outside the door at 01:30, letting the cold rain soak his body whole body.
This old father who seemed to have aged ten years suddenly knelt in the rain, and the sky thundered, and he couldn't cry.
"Zizhou, I'm sorry, Zizhou. Father didn't want to, didn't want you to die. But your father is a weak man, I haven't lived enough, I don't want to die. Forgive me, Zizhou. If... If Shaoyi grows up in the future Da wants revenge, I am willing to be killed by Shao Yi as compensation, I only ask you to forgive me."
The wind was strong, and the trees were blown to this side and made a lot of noise.This desperate request and all these changes were swallowed up by the boundless world, no one heard, no one made a sound.
"What did you say? The soldier talisman disappeared?" After everything calmed down, Qi Wen looked at the servant who was searching for the soldier talisman and shouted.
"...Yes." The servant trembled with fright and spoke incoherently, "After the villain stole the military defense map and put it in the Beishuo barracks, he has been looking for the whereabouts of the military talismans, but all of them failed. So, the soldier talismans are missing." .”
Qi Wen felt his eyes go dark, and he fell down on the seat weakly. After thinking for a long time, he said in a harsh voice: "The soldier talisman is missing, and the third brother is dead. Then Tao must know the whereabouts. Now, send someone to the Fusheng Pavilion to search for it." ! If you can’t find it, then arrest her, torture her, torture her, and find the soldier talisman!”
Qi Wen's crazy roar like a demon made the servant feel panic and fear, and finally he trembled and said in obedience: "Yes."
At this time, Tao Zhixi was looking at the bowl of medicine on the table very calmly. She stroked the bowl wall and was about to put it into her mouth when she was stopped by Siyun crying.
"Miss, don't."
But Tao Zhixi smiled indifferently, "Siyun, Zizhou is dead, and I don't want to live alone. The soldier talisman is lost, and they dare not touch Shaoyi, but I am different. If I am still alive, the secret of the soldier talisman cannot be hidden , Shaoyi's future will end here. I can't bear it, and I don't want Zizhou to die alone."
"But the little lady is still so young, what can she do by herself?" Siyun sobbed.
Tao Zhixi responded quietly, her beautiful face like a lotus actually smiled happily, "It is because she is alone that she can survive alone. If the death of me and Zizhou can bring back Shaoyi's bright future, then I would."
The woman smiled and told her fantasy, her tearful eyes were as bright as stars, "In the future, she will definitely meet a person who is as warm as the sun, who will take her to admire the flowers in the world, walk through mountains and rivers, and accompany her forever. Watching her, not letting her be alone again. I believe this person must also be waiting for Shao Yi, not far in the future."
The woman resolutely raised her neck and drank it, the medicine bowl fell to the ground and shattered, causing little Qi Ze outside to panic.
The innocent and innocent child was too scared to face the truth, so he could only climb on the threshold and wait for his father to return.
At this time, a small stone hit her, and the young man who wanted to spend the rest of her life with her came lightly.He was dressed in purple, with the corners of his mouth raised, cynical.
"Huh? A little boy? Hey, little guy, why don't you go to your parents, what are you doing sitting here?"
Little Qi Ze wailed aggrievedly. At this moment, the two of them met and were destined to walk hand in hand.
"clatter--"
In Fulong Temple more than ten years later, under the cheers and support of the crowd, the girl dressed in an indigo brocade dress seemed to have grown up and threw the copper coin into the stone toad's mouth effortlessly.
Everyone was amazed, and the two people in the distance were watching this scene.
"She threw it in." A young novice said in surprise.
Kong Wu, who had seen through the world and had lost the smell of fireworks in the world, smiled kindly. He who recognized at a glance that this was the lucky man from more than ten years ago smiled warmly, and looked towards the courtyard where Que Yu was recuperating.
The tall and green linden trees around are still quiet, and a sleeping figure in purple clothes is faintly revealed in the gaps between the layers of trees.
Looking at the young man who had grown up, Kong Wu murmured: "This is the blessing of the Buddha. In the future, you will thank yourself who is seriously injured now."
The young man frowned as if feeling some sense, Qi Ze outside the courtyard looked at the stone toad in a moment of fascination.

(End of this chapter)
Arriving at the Tao Mansion, Tao Xingyuan was anxiously looking for his daughter, and saw her daughter stepping off the carriage gracefully and walking into the mansion gracefully.
Thinking of the last time I left home for a year, this made Tao Xingyuan angry, and he stepped forward and reprimanded him: "Zhixi, why are you still running around? Your cousin is waiting for you to recover After getting married, if you still run around like this, what if your aunt is dissatisfied?"
Tao Zhixi felt aggrieved and said, "Can't I change someone? Do I have to marry my cousin?"
Hearing this, Tao Xingyuan said helplessly: "Little ancestor, you married someone to avoid the draft. Only people in the Tao family are willing to take this risk. If you don't marry your cousin, who else do you want to marry?" ?”
Tao Zhixi looked back at Qi Yun, stretched out her little finger shyly, and said in a muffled voice, "Can't you marry him?"
At this time, Tao Xingyuan noticed that there was a person standing behind his daughter, and he was a big celebrity in the court, the best son-in-law in every lady's heart, he said in surprise: "General Qi."
Qi Yun respectfully reciprocated politely, and said, "Master Tao."
"My little girl is naughty, don't take her words seriously. Later, I will talk to her properly."
Qi Yun smiled lightly and said, "Miss Zhixi is frank, who wouldn't like it?"
Hearing this, Tao Xingyuan was stunned, and felt that the more he heard it, the more strange it became.Miss Zhixi?This title is a bit close.And from what it means, Qi Yun doesn't seem to object to this marriage.
Tao Zhixi was also stunned for a moment when she heard the words, turned to look at him, and summoned up her courage to say, "General Qi, I want you to know that I didn't go back to the capital and stayed in the barracks because I had no choice but to do it on purpose."
Qi Yun grinned like a boy, and replied: "I also want you to know that I did it on purpose when I followed the agreement, and it was true that I wanted to take you home."
The woman couldn't help laughing when she heard the words, Tao Xingyuan looked at the two of them, finally gave a fatherly smile of relief, and turned around to cancel the marriage between Tao Zhixi and her cousin.
After Qi Yun returned to the mansion, he mentioned the marriage to Qi Yuan.Although he didn't understand why Qi Yun suddenly thought about it, but after hearing that the other party was the daughter of the Tao family, whose status matched the Qi family's, and he couldn't be Qi Yun's master, Qi Yuan finally nodded in agreement.
On the day of the wedding, Qi Yun entertained all parties, and all the people in the capital participated in it. The grandeur of the battle was astonishing.The man who had always been in armor changed into a red groom's suit. He was tall and straight, riding a white horse, and took her home step by step according to the agreement between them.
Because of the arrival of the couple, Fusheng Pavilion was filled with flowers, as if the whole world had calmed down.
Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, the two have been married for more than a year.
A delicate servant girl was watering the flowers in the courtyard cheerfully and lightly. At this moment, Tao Zhixi's surprised voice came: "Siyun, come quickly, the child just kicked me."
The handsome servant girl named Baitang before but now named Siyun ran into the house upon hearing the sound, and the woman in the house was caressing her swollen belly, her face was filled with the soft radiance of motherhood, happy and dazzling.
Qi Yun was putting his ears on his belly, listening carefully to the traces from this little life.
Siyun laughed and said: "Being so naughty before he was born, he must be a young master."
Hearing this, Tao Zhixi asked Qi Yun, "Then do you want a boy or a girl?"
"I like them all." Qi Yun said without hesitation, "However, I hope it's a girl more, and I will protect her from growing up in the future, so as not to be married by some brat."
The other two couldn't help laughing when they heard the words, Tao Zhixi said: "As long as it's Zizhou and my children, I like both boys and girls. The weather is fine today, and I want to go to the temple to pray for the children."
"Okay, I'll go with you." Qi Yun stood up and carefully supported Tao Zhixi, and carefully put on her outer clothes to prevent her from catching cold.
The deputy general acted as a coachman and drove the two to Fulong Temple. Fulong Temple was peaceful, and all the worshipers bowed down devoutly. The linden tree in the corner was lush and green.
After kneeling down and praying with the crowd in the main hall, the couple passed through the bustling crowd and walked along the roadside.
Just when the two were talking and laughing sweetly, they heard a calm call, with a bit of compassion in their tone, as if they had seen through everything in the world.
"Two benefactors, don't you come to divination?"
Hearing the sound and looking at it, it turned out to be a monk with a kind face.The monk had no beard on his face, smooth skin, and his demeanor seemed to have experienced the precipitation and calmness of vicissitudes, which made people wonder how old he was.However, the corner of his mouth was full of conspiracies and calculations. This somewhat unscrupulous feeling made him look amiable and reliable with a hint of smoke and fire.
At this time, he was sitting behind a small desk not far away. It was strange to say that there were crowds of people around him, but no one came forward where he was, as if he was separated from this bustling world.
The two stopped, and the lieutenant also muttered: "General, madam, let's go, this old monk seems a little unreliable."
The two nodded in agreement when they heard the words, and when they were about to leave, they heard the old monk say again: "Don't leave, the benefactor, the poor monk just has a good relationship with the two of you, thinking that the merits you have done today are full, so let's go." If you want to make a divination for the two of you, it will be regarded as accumulating blessings for the next life." Then he blinked slightly mischievously, "It's free."
The husband and wife looked at each other very strangely and confusedly, thinking about leaving, but the other party kept looking at them with a smile, which made them unable to refuse.
With a soft heart, the two walked forward.
Kong Wu, who was still young and mischievous with a trace of human breath, smiled, stretched out his hand to invite the two to sit down, and said, "I also ask the two benefactors to extend their arms."
The two acted according to the words, and Kong Wu's fingers lightly touched the wrists of the two, exploring the future fate of the visitor as usual.
Half a quarter of an hour later, Kong Wu raised his head and said, "The poor monk has already seen the future outcome of the two of you."
"Oh? What is it?" Qi Yun asked.
Kong Wu's face remained unchanged, as if the matter had nothing to do with him, and replied: "You will die."
Tao Zhixi showed shock, but Qi Yun smiled lightly: "Life is about to die, it's not a big deal."
"No." Kong Wu shook his head, "You two died by accident, not in peace." Then he looked at Qi Yun, "Donor, don't you understand it very well?"
Qi Yun frowned lightly, full of dignity.He did have a premonition, from Emperor Zhaozheng's deep and subtle hostility that was obviously slightly concealed, as well as his deliberate suppression of the Qi family and him, he felt that the future was not good, and it was very likely that he would die unexpectedly.
But when someone mentioned it like this, he still couldn't help being surprised and uneasy.
Tao Zhixi looked at her husband's obviously solemn profile, and knew in her heart that this monk was probably telling the truth.She took a deep breath, accepted this disturbing fact, and asked anxiously: "Master, may I ask if the two of us will die unexpectedly, what will be the fate of our child in the future?"
Only then did Kong Wu notice the little life in Tao Zhixi's belly, he looked at the swollen belly with pity, and said, "Wait for the poor monk to take another look."
He carefully felt the beating pulse under his fingers, and muttered in his heart that the parents are dead, so the child should have the same fate.
But suddenly a strange fate that he had never seen before completely changed his opinion, and he looked at the unborn little life with unconcealed surprise, and said in amazement: "This...she..."
"Master, what's the matter?" Tao Zhixi asked.
Kong Wu sighed, and replied softly: "Her life is full of misfortunes, and she will be stained with sin and pain from then on, and it is very likely that she will be alone all her life."
"What?" The husband and wife were surprised at the same time.
"However, it's very strange." Kong Wu smiled warmly, "Even so, her footsteps never stopped, and her long future is still going on." Continuing to explore this strange fate, Kong Wuluan said, "Oh, Did you meet him?" Looking at the unborn little guy, he smiled and said, "Although you are unlucky, you are also a lucky little guy. Live well, little guy, you still have a long way to go. "
Both of them heaved a sigh of relief, Tao Zhixi stroked her lower abdomen and muttered to herself, "Is there a long future?"
Although the theory of gods and Buddhas is not credible, they both got up and thanked politely when they heard the blessings from others.
The husband and wife walked forward with a heavy heart. At this time, an empty voice came from behind: "Almighty, in this world, a boy is better than a girl."
The two figures paused, then looked back at Kong Wu, and found that the corners of his mouth were curled up for no apparent reason, and there was a kind reminder in his eyes.After Qi Yun was slightly stunned, he said knowingly, "Thank you, Master, for your reminder."
Kong Wu nodded with a smile, and the husband and wife also walked forward.
Looking at the backs of the two people in front of him, Kongwu murmured: "Is that so? Are you paving the way for her?" He sighed and smiled, "If that's the case, then let's be her guide, her bright future will only come soon." Just started."
After returning to the Fusheng Pavilion, Tao Zhixi asked Qi Yun, "Did something happen in the government? Since you came back from Fulong Temple, you have been restless."
After thinking about it for a long time, Qi Yun finally said: "It's just a hunch. Recently, the Holy Majesty has suppressed the Qi family intentionally or unintentionally. I'm afraid the Qi family will never be peaceful. For you, and for the child, or else, I will arrange for you to escape in advance. You are just a Ladies, the imperial court will not embarrass you."
"What about you?" Tao Zhixi had tears in her eyes, "You let me escape alone, what about you? Are you planning to face all this alone?"
After pondering for a moment, Qi Yun replied, "Zhi Xi, I am the only general of the Qi family, no matter what, I cannot escape, so..."
"So, are you going to send me out of the house?" Tao Zhixi continued crying, "Qi Zizhou, since you brought me home, you have to be responsible to the end. In this life, you don't want to push me, Tao Zhixi. Come on, I, Tao Zhixi, have depended on you, Qi Zizhou, for the rest of my life."
The woman was pregnant, and the tears fell on the pink face, which was pitiful.This moved the man, he stretched out his hand to hug the woman tightly, and said in a warm voice: "You still cry so much, I don't know if the child will be like you. Don't cry, I won't send you away, the two of us will never separation."
The man gently wiped away the tears on the woman's face with his fingers, and the woman bit her lower lip tightly while crying, and finally nodded.
At the same time, in the study of Qi's family, Qi Wen frowned tightly, and said to Qi Yuan indignantly, "Father, what does your Majesty mean by this? Depriving you of your cabinet powers and letting you go home to recuperate, what's the difference between this and dismissal?" When he was young, you were the one who carefully taught him, and you were the one who could win the throne. Who knows, when he was firmly seated on the throne, he started crossing rivers and demolishing bridges. How can our Qi family feel sorry for him? He actually made things difficult for you. , regardless of the kindness of teachers and students back then."
Qi Yuan, on the other hand, had a sad face, waved his hands and said, "Forget it, Wen'er, the Holy Majesty is now the Ninth Five-Year Supreme in Southern Chu, and he is no longer the well-behaved and childish student before, let alone the playmate you grew up with. He is the ruler, we are the ministers, since ancient times there is a difference between rulers and ministers, all we can do is obey."
"But... what if he is ruthless?" Qi Wen said what he was worried about.
Qi Yuan was slightly stunned when he heard the words, and then retorted thoughtfully: "Impossible, although he is a gentleman, but anyway, I am his teacher, the child I watched grow up day by day, it is impossible for him to So heartless."
"Really not?" Qi Wen looked straight into Qi Yuan's eyes and asked sharply, "Father, it's because he was the child you grew up with, so you know his past best. Now the Qi family He is already the head of all the families, if he wants to suppress you, the third younger brother, and the Qi family, isn't that a matter of course? Therefore, the most important thing we should do now is to let the Holy One dispel the idea of destroying the Qi family. In this way, we Only the Qi family can have a chance."
Qi Yuan stared blankly at the faint flames burning in Qi Wen's eyes, and finally nodded in agreement.
In order to save their lives, everyone in the Qi family released their powers one after another.When Qi Wen went to court, he took the initiative to recommend a child from a family who had always been at odds with the Qi family to the Ministry of Rites to share the power equally, and Qi Yun handed over half of the soldier talisman in his hand to release the military power on his own initiative.
Emperor Zhaozheng was surprised, but also turned pale, and paused for a while to suppress the Qi family.
Without military power, Qi Yun is relaxed and has more time to spend with his wife.Soon, it was time for Tao Zhixi to give birth.
On this day, the whole Fusheng Pavilion was in a hurry.Qi Yun stood outside the delivery room, his eyes couldn't hide the anxiety.
"Wow-"
It wasn't until a loud baby cry sounded that the gentle man finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He opened the door and walked to the bedside, looking at the pale and haggard woman, he called out, "Zhixi."
The woman struggled to open her eyes when she heard the sound, and replied weakly, "Zizhou, it's a girl."
Qi Yun was stunned for a moment when he heard the words, knowing that the matter was far from over, he smiled relievedly, and said with the usual smile on his face: "Hello, girl, she is cute, sensible and sweet, and you can call me Daddy sweetly."
But Tao Zhixi's painful and pitiful expression appeared on her dejected face, her eyes were slightly red, and she said: "Then what will happen to this child's future? No one can say for sure what will happen to the Qi family. A girl, she How do we face this dangerous future?"
The smile on the corner of the man's mouth gradually faded, and after a long silence, he said, "How can Zhixi not trust our child? Our child must be the strongest. From now on, let her live as a boy. A long future awaits her."
Then, he lowered his head and looked at the baby girl in his arms, "How about Daddy choosing the name Shaoyi for you? Our Shaoyi has the most beautiful demeanor among all the girls in the world, and we will definitely be a beautiful girl in the future."
Tao Zhixi smiled gratifiedly when she heard the words, and approached her daughter's face with all her strength, kissed her forehead tenderly, and said, "Xiao Shaoyi, you are the best gift God has given us."
The little baby girl stretched out her tender little hands to caress her mother's face as if she had sensed something, and responded with a few sticky cries of "Wow".
With the passage of time, Qi Yun's worries were gradually revealed, and his intentions became reality.Originally, the release of most of the Qi family's powers slightly appeased Emperor Zhaozheng's heart, but the Qi family's foundation is too deep, and most of the families in Southern Chu still follow the Qi family's lead.
In addition, the Beishuo army attacked again, so that Emperor Zhaozheng had to re-delegate military power to Qi Yun's hands, and the Qi family's initiative to decentralize power had no effect at all.This rekindled Emperor Zhaozheng's desire to destroy the Qi family, and the government's suppression of the Qi family made Qi Wen and Qi Yun miserable.
When Qi Yun went to the border with a military amulet in his hand, the one-year-old little Qi Ze took small, fragmented steps and staggered into his father's arms, speaking incoherently for the first time: "Daddy... Daddy...Mother and Shaoyi...wait for Daddy."
Qi Yun was overjoyed by this call, bent down to hug his daughter, and said with joy, "Xiao Shaoyi can talk now, don't worry, Daddy will be back soon. When I come back, Daddy will take Shaoyi to buy it." food."
He pinched his daughter's nose dotingly, which made Xiao Qi Ze giggle and nodded obediently.
This time, Qi Yun returned from victory.But when he returned to the court, Emperor Zhaozheng could not see the joy with the naked eye. On the contrary, the gloomy and hostile brows were even more serious, and the military power that had to be devolved became one of his heart problems.
After this incident, Emperor Zhaozheng also understood that Qi Yun's prestige and cohesion in the court far exceeded his imagination. Except for Qi Yun, no one in the court dared to confront Beishuo's army.
Also this time, Qi Wen finally understood what Emperor Zhaozheng was thinking. Looking at the dim light in Emperor Zhaozheng's eyes, he understood that what Emperor Zhaozheng wanted to do most was to take back the military power and drive Qi Yun out of the hearts of the people and the officials. prestige.
And the best way to get rid of prestige is to get rid of people. In other words, as long as Qi Yun is gone, the entire Qi family can be kept.
Qi Wengang felt shocked when he thought this way, how could he exchange his own life with his own brother's life?But thinking that everyone in the Qi family might die because of this in the future, Qi Wen, who was greedy for life and afraid of death, finally went to Qi Yuan's study to discuss the matter together.
"What did you say?" Qi Yuan looked at his eldest son in shock, "Wen'er, you want to trade Zi Zhou's life for the entire Qi family's survival?"
"That's right." Qi Wen's expression was cold and firm, "Father, I believe you have seen the scene when the third brother returned to the court this time. The Holy Majesty did not have any rewards this time, only endless hostility. Does that mean that as long as If the third younger brother is pushed out, then the Holy Majesty may be lenient towards the Qi family? Then our Qi family will be able to survive."
"Impossible." Qi Yuan staggered and almost fell, he stretched out his hand tremblingly and pushed Qi Wen away, "Impossible, Zizhou is my own son, I can't exchange Zizhou's life."
Qi Wen didn't show any anger on his face, but looked at him with very calm eyes, with a little sadness in his tone, "Father, the third brother is your son, don't I? I can turn a blind eye to life, won't my heart hurt?"
This man who has always been dignified and self-sustaining is actually full of tears at this moment, "Father only knows that the third brother is your son, so do you know that I am also your son, and Chen'er and A Zhe are still your grandsons. Could it be that father can just sit there and watch him?" Watching Chen'er and Azhe be beheaded, will all your sons be imprisoned and tortured to death?"
Qi Wen roared, his trembling hands clasped the shoulders of Qi Yuan who had been stunned for a long time, his lips swallowed the tears that flowed to the corners of his mouth, and he almost begged: "Father, I beg you, my son. My son wants to live. Chen'er and Ah Zhe also want to live, if one person's life is exchanged for the survival of all the Qi family, it's worth it. Father can also survive because of this, can't he?"
Hearing this, Qi Yuan covered his face with his hands and cried out.Let go again, the salty tears have already muddy the old face suddenly.He choked up, his eyes were tranced and sad, he pushed Qi Wen's hands away and walked out of the room alone, and said to himself: "It's worth it? Yes, it's worth it, everything is worth it, it's worth it, hahaha."
Qi Yuan walked out of the room with a sad smile, leaving only Qi Wen with a lonely and broken back.Although Qi Yuan didn't say where he was going, Qi Wen knew it well, he was going to the palace to ask the current Ninth Five-Year Master, the so-called well-behaved student who respected his teacher.
In front of the imperial palace and the Golden Luan Hall, a figure with a vigorous back is kneeling upright. When you walk in front of him, you will find that his eyes are empty and bottomless like black holes in the dark night.
An eunuch came leisurely and persuaded: "Old Master Qi, what is this for? You are aloof, different from ordinary ministers. You are kneeling in front of this golden palace to frustrate all the officials. You should get up quickly." , don’t make things difficult for the Holy One.”
"I'm sorry." Qi Yuan's lips moved, "As long as the Holy One doesn't see the old minister for a day, the old minister will not be able to kneel forever."
Seeing Qi Yuan being so tough, the eunuch waved his whisk and left angrily.
I didn't see a figure in white standing behind the vermilion palace gate not far away.Qi Yun looked at the back of his father in front of him, a layer of understanding and sorrow floated in his usually peaceful eyes, and the stars in those dark eyes no longer shined brightly.After a long time, he let out a chuckle like a lament, then turned around and left, and the Qingyuan figure was no longer there.
After three sunrises and sunsets, his straight waist, like a pine tree, had already bowed deeply. The passage of time and the longing for life made him lose his dignity.However, within three days, wrinkles appeared on his always radiant face, like mottled lines deep in the trunk of a tree, and sporadic white spots appeared in his meticulously combed hair.
The eunuch came leisurely as usual, and ordered: "Old Master Qi, get up, the Holy Majesty has summoned you."
The veteran kneeling on the ground, his eyes fixed like a sculpture, suddenly moved. He put his forehead on the ground, saluted and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty." The voice was not happy, but full of his own sadness and faint sobs.
When Beishuo's army invaded again, Qi Yun was summoned into the palace according to the imperial order, and Tao Zhixi watched him leave reluctantly.
Why did Qi Yuan kneel in front of the Golden Luan Hall for three days, and why did he not meet Qi Yun when he returned home after being summoned by the Holy Majesty, instead he looked away and was at a loss?
On the day Qi Wen asked Qi Yuan, Qi Yun listened quietly outside the room.At this moment, it is tantamount to a catastrophe.
When Qi Yun returned to the mansion with the complete soldier talisman, Tao Zhixi couldn't help but burst into tears.Why are you willing to let go of power when you have already taken back the military power, and the hostility in your heart is so far?This is obviously a trap, a trap to force Qi Yun to die.
Tao Zhixi understood all this in her heart, and knew that as long as Qi Yun was abandoned, she and Qi Ze might survive.But without Qi Yun, how could she and Qi Ze survive without incident?What is the meaning of her life?
"Zizhou..." Tao Zhixi looked at her husband and broke down in tears.
But Qi Yun smiled lightly: "Yes, as long as you sacrifice me, father, elder brother and second elder brother, you and Shao Yi, you can survive. All of this is really worth it in general."
Tao Zhixi shook her head with tears in her eyes, choked up and said nothing.
The man suddenly smiled cheerfully, like a clean boy, "Zhi Xi, I have thought about it. If the honor of my hussar general dying in battle is useful to Shao Yi, then let me die in this way. I hope Shao Yi To live a good life, I hope she can survive like an ordinary child in the surviving Qi family, instead of wandering and hiding with me."
The woman took a deep breath, forced herself to calm down, and said: "If this is what you want to do, and you have made up your mind, then I have no reason to stop you. Die like a hero, this may be your last wish." Good place to stay."
She stepped forward to hug him and whispered, "I'm proud of you, Zi Zhou."
The man smiled with relief, but there was no trace of grief in it.
For her daughter's future, Qi Yun has made all the plans.He packed the important military talisman called the lifeblood of the country into a piece of black jade, which was thick in color and about the size of his palm.
Before leaving for the expedition, he squatted down, looked at his daughter seriously for the last time, and hung the piece of black jade around her neck.
"Shao Yi, I don't know when, you have already grown up to three years old. Originally, Daddy planned to accompany you to grow up, but who knows, this is actually an extravagant wish." His slender and gentle fingers stroked his daughter's face , still with a gentle smile on his face, "Live strong, live like a man standing upright."
He got up resolutely to complete his last mission.
At the border of Beishuo, Qi Dai half-raised the military map in his hand in surprise, "The military map of Southern Chu? It's a lie, where did it come from?"
All the soldiers looked at each other and shook their heads. One soldier said, "General, this military defense map just quietly appeared on your desk. I'm afraid there may be fraud in it."
But Qi Dai sneered: "This may be deceitful, but Qi Yun doesn't know how to play this trick. Qi Yun is a strong and upright person, and never bothers to play those insidious tricks. Obviously, Qi Yun doesn't know about it at all." .”
"Then this military defense map..."
"Use it, since it's sent here, then use it. So what if there's a fraud in it? As long as you can beat that bastard Qi Yun, then it's worth it." Qi Dai said indifferently.
After a fierce battle, Qi Dai looked triumphantly at the afterimage of defeat in the distance, hugged his chest and said, "This still can't beat you bastard? It's not in vain that this general volunteered to bring troops here from thousands of miles away." Toss, hahaha."
The man looked up to the sky triumphantly and laughed, only to hear a bang, the afterimage fell straight down, and disappeared into the world with his proud sword.
This sound made Qi Dai's laughter stop abruptly, and also made all the soldiers in Beishuo exclaim on the spot.
After the silence passed, Xiao Bing said: "General, the soldiers of Southern Chu were defeated, and General Qi Yun also killed himself. We can attack now."
But Qi Dai's expression was gloomy, as if he had lost his confidant and friend, he waved his hands in frustration, "Forget it, everyone is dead, it's boring. Let's collect his body and bury it, and we will return to the court as a teacher." His eyes were gloomy, like a cloud Gray Haze, "I also...will not come to Border Gate again."
The sky was like ink, and the rain was pouring down.
News of Hussar General Qi Yun's death on the battlefield spread to the capital.
Tao Zhixi woke up from her sleep, as if a large piece of her heart had been taken away, the pain was unspeakable.
She clutched her chest, and the heart-piercing cry wanted to rush out of her throat, but the woman raised her arm to cover it in time. She bit her arm tightly, and the cry she wanted to utter changed into a silent sob. The pain tearing her apart was overwhelming.
She knew that all of this would come eventually, but at the moment when it really came, she couldn't be calm.
The little Qi Ze next to her was sleeping soundly, knowing nothing about this moment that would change her life.
At the same time, on the other side of the Qi Mansion, Qi Yuan couldn't help crying out loud, like a desperate old beast who lost his beloved son, he raised his trembling and weak legs and was about to crawl out of the door, "Zi Zhou, my son Boat--"
"Father." Qi Wen rushed over, trying to help his father, who has always been extremely dignified and respected, but was pushed away by Qi Yuan, and climbed outside the door at 01:30, letting the cold rain soak his body whole body.
This old father who seemed to have aged ten years suddenly knelt in the rain, and the sky thundered, and he couldn't cry.
"Zizhou, I'm sorry, Zizhou. Father didn't want to, didn't want you to die. But your father is a weak man, I haven't lived enough, I don't want to die. Forgive me, Zizhou. If... If Shaoyi grows up in the future Da wants revenge, I am willing to be killed by Shao Yi as compensation, I only ask you to forgive me."
The wind was strong, and the trees were blown to this side and made a lot of noise.This desperate request and all these changes were swallowed up by the boundless world, no one heard, no one made a sound.
"What did you say? The soldier talisman disappeared?" After everything calmed down, Qi Wen looked at the servant who was searching for the soldier talisman and shouted.
"...Yes." The servant trembled with fright and spoke incoherently, "After the villain stole the military defense map and put it in the Beishuo barracks, he has been looking for the whereabouts of the military talismans, but all of them failed. So, the soldier talismans are missing." .”
Qi Wen felt his eyes go dark, and he fell down on the seat weakly. After thinking for a long time, he said in a harsh voice: "The soldier talisman is missing, and the third brother is dead. Then Tao must know the whereabouts. Now, send someone to the Fusheng Pavilion to search for it." ! If you can’t find it, then arrest her, torture her, torture her, and find the soldier talisman!”
Qi Wen's crazy roar like a demon made the servant feel panic and fear, and finally he trembled and said in obedience: "Yes."
At this time, Tao Zhixi was looking at the bowl of medicine on the table very calmly. She stroked the bowl wall and was about to put it into her mouth when she was stopped by Siyun crying.
"Miss, don't."
But Tao Zhixi smiled indifferently, "Siyun, Zizhou is dead, and I don't want to live alone. The soldier talisman is lost, and they dare not touch Shaoyi, but I am different. If I am still alive, the secret of the soldier talisman cannot be hidden , Shaoyi's future will end here. I can't bear it, and I don't want Zizhou to die alone."
"But the little lady is still so young, what can she do by herself?" Siyun sobbed.
Tao Zhixi responded quietly, her beautiful face like a lotus actually smiled happily, "It is because she is alone that she can survive alone. If the death of me and Zizhou can bring back Shaoyi's bright future, then I would."
The woman smiled and told her fantasy, her tearful eyes were as bright as stars, "In the future, she will definitely meet a person who is as warm as the sun, who will take her to admire the flowers in the world, walk through mountains and rivers, and accompany her forever. Watching her, not letting her be alone again. I believe this person must also be waiting for Shao Yi, not far in the future."
The woman resolutely raised her neck and drank it, the medicine bowl fell to the ground and shattered, causing little Qi Ze outside to panic.
The innocent and innocent child was too scared to face the truth, so he could only climb on the threshold and wait for his father to return.
At this time, a small stone hit her, and the young man who wanted to spend the rest of her life with her came lightly.He was dressed in purple, with the corners of his mouth raised, cynical.
"Huh? A little boy? Hey, little guy, why don't you go to your parents, what are you doing sitting here?"
Little Qi Ze wailed aggrievedly. At this moment, the two of them met and were destined to walk hand in hand.
"clatter--"
In Fulong Temple more than ten years later, under the cheers and support of the crowd, the girl dressed in an indigo brocade dress seemed to have grown up and threw the copper coin into the stone toad's mouth effortlessly.
