devil may cry

Chapter 87. The Lonely Grave

Xue Yaoshan recalled his whole life and felt that he had suffered from headaches all his life.

He was born in the Central Plains. At that time, the Central Plains was far less powerful than it is now. The small border countries and barbarian states continued to invade and harass the people, causing the people to live in peace.

So when he was young, his headache was his whole life.

Later, he couldn't bear to live in fear, so he responded to the court's so-called security call and went abroad to defend against the enemy.

During the long war, he made sworn brothers with four good brothers. Among them, the woman came disguised as a man.

After many years, the Biluo mutiny, Jiuli changed hands... various large and small countries were continuously disintegrated by the Central Plains, and they also returned to their hometowns after the war was basically put down.

His wife gave birth to a pair of twins by the Qushui River in February. Xue Yaoshan was very happy and settled in Lingnan Dingfu, not far from the river.

He thought that the Xue family and him, who were being treated courteously by the court, would not have to worry about it in the future, but who knew that the arrival of these two children was the beginning of his real headache.

The eldest brother, Xue Jinsi, has been weak since he was a child, so it is not an exaggeration to say that he grew up from a medicine jar; the second child... the second child, he does not want to mention...

Just because he dared to pull the prince's braid, Xue Yaoshan knew how fierce this son is!!

The emperor at that time was the grandfather of today's little emperor, and he praised the "Five Heroes of the Central Plains" very much. He also liked Xue Luosi and his brothers. He smiled and praised Xue Luosi, saying that he would definitely be a general in the future.

Xue Yaoshan thought, probably the tiger is fine.

I don't know if it's because the words of the real dragon emperor have been fulfilled, or because of some other reason. In short, when these two sons grow up, they really exceed his imagination.

Although Xue Jinsi is frail, his martial arts are not bad. He is already knowledgeable, so it is not surprising that he entered an official career; on the contrary, Xue Luosi became more and more interested in the affairs of the court, so he worked harder and harder. Together with his elder brother, he is well-known.

This is not bad, except that he is afraid that his temper will cause trouble.

He once warned his two sons, especially Xue Luosi, that the court is not like the rivers and lakes, and they should not act with righteousness.

I don't know how much Xue Luosi listened to, but judging by his appearance, he took in every word.As expected, it caused trouble, and even caused big trouble for Liu Yu.

On the point of arguing with Liu Yuqi, although Xue Yaoshan also agreed with his insistence, he was still punished to kneel in the ancestral hall.

Then he asked someone to help him to press him down, tired his old bones left and right, and worried about Nizi, but this Nizi didn't appreciate it, and dared to run away from home!

Good! You ran away from home! You want to go out to relax! You sneaked away! You have the ability!

That's all, what troubled him the most was that Nizi came back after a long time and brought a pregnant woman with him.

Xue Yaoshan saw that this was a bad thing, he thought Nizi was wandering outside, and now he brought him back to take responsibility.Unexpectedly, Xue Luosi knelt down in front of him seriously, three heads kowtowed loudly, bowing solemnly, asking the Ming matchmaker to marry this woman, and enshrining the mother and son into the ancestral hall of the aristocratic family.

Are you kidding me...?

It would be fine if this woman was someone else, but she happened to be from Biluo. Although Biluo had been surrendered and naturalized by the Central Plains, it was still a bit tricky for the family, for the Xue family, and for the children of the famous family in the Central Plains.

The girl was born with a good appearance, her manners were reasonable, and she had a big belly. Xue Yaoshan was not easy to drive people away, so he secretly hid her in a secluded place in Xue's mansion without telling the truth to several clan members of the Xue family. .And ask Xue Luosi to settle down for a while.

During this period, this displeasing white-eyed wolf came to bother him every day, asking when he could marry that woman named Zhen Sheng?When did Zhen Sheng become a clan member?

Xue Yaoshan also thought about it seriously, and said to him: "When will you be the only one in the Xue family."

After hearing this, Xue Luosi went back and thought about it all night, and entered the court again the next day.

Later, his title of "Mo Yi Qingxiang" was called out.

It was just a suggestion on the matter of Bi Luo's remnant party, he and Liu Yu had a quarrel again, and it went too far.That night, Xue Yaoshan called him into the house and asked him whether he was making such unreasonable troubles because the woman was from Biluo.

Xue Luosi said no, and told him how the Central Plains and the states should be, such and such.He could listen and felt reasonable, but he knew Liu Yu couldn't listen.

Xue Luosi thought that Liu Yu was no big deal, that it was not a big deal, and he should tell the emperor what he thought was wrong.Because of this, the father and son had some awkward quarrels. Shangxichang was too powerful in the court, and the emperor couldn't get away for a while, and he couldn't do anything about his claims. In addition, Zhen Sheng was about to give birth. Many things calmed him down, and he couldn't help it. Put your mind on the lady.

Liu Yu took the opportunity to unite some mobs to slander Xue Luosi. The family members of the Xue family said a few words about why he brought the woman back.

Xue Yaoshan had a headache, he didn't want to do this at first.

It wasn't until Xue Jinsi died of illness that he gradually regretted that he should have tried his best to protect them back then.

……

When she left home for the first time, Xue Luosi also had a headache.He is about the same age as the little emperor, and I often hear him talk about how the former emperor took him to other countries in humble service when he was the crown prince.

Therefore, when his official career was not going well for the first time, he chose to relax outside the Central Plains, and the closest to Lingnan was Bi Luo.

Biluo is the country that most resembles the Central Plains among the states, and it also speaks the Central Plains dialect, except for some customs, there is no difference.

They are all people, they are all common people, but they are of different ethnic groups. The old eunuch Liu Yu actually instigated the emperor to attack Bi Luo.

War is wrong and unforgivable.

He walked for almost a day before entering Biluo territory from the border of the Central Plains, crossing a river named Sishui, and then crossing a mountain named Qiongshan, and arrived at the present river valley.

This is a small village, with dozens of families living in it, and further inside is a deep valley, and it is said that no one lives in it.

Xue Luosi was tired from walking, so she rested at the foot of Qiongshan Mountain, hoping to find a place to live tonight.

Just as he was thinking, a wooden basin floated along the water in the distance.

Xue Luosi grabbed the basin with quick eyes and hands, didn't let it float down, and leaned over the basin to have a look.Originally, I wondered if, as the speaker said, there was a child of a knight who was hunted down, or some gold, silver and jewelry used to rob the rich and help the poor, but who knew there were only some ordinary clothes inside.

I wondered which family's daughter accidentally brought it along when she was doing laundry.He put the basin on the bank, got up and prepared to walk into the valley to solve the problem of accommodation.

Not long after he left, he heard panting behind him, as if he was in a hurry, and then another "ah".

"You are here..."

It's a female voice.

Xue Luosi was so tired that he didn't want to turn his head, but for some reason, because of the voice, he suddenly turned around and took a look.

This glance will last forever.

The woman was wearing cloth, the clothes were washed white, and she wore a silver hairpin on her head. She looked as shabby as she could be. One could imagine that Bi Luo's conditions were not very good.

He was in Lingnan, what noble family's daughter hadn't seen him before?Only the owner of this silver hairpin broke through many obstacles and lived in his heart.

The woman didn't see him, she picked up the wooden basin and walked back, Xue Luosi trembled, hurried over and shouted: "Girl! This girl! Please stay still!"

This woman was later his wife, Xue Luoqian's mother, surnamed Tong Lan, named Zhensheng.

She looked back at him, dumbfounded.

"Hi girl, my name is Xue Luosi, and I come from the Central Plains."

"...Well, hello." Her voice was suddenly as delicate as a mosquito.

"I don't know if there is any spare space in the girl's house? Xiaosheng wants to stay for a few days."

Zhen Sheng was taken aback by what he said, Xue Luosi said again: "Oh, money must be given."

"Do not……"

"Xiaosheng is not familiar with the place where he was born, so I ask the girl to show mercy."

Seeing that she was still shaking her head, Xue Luosi was anxious, and grabbed her hand: "Girl..."

"Pa—" the wooden basin fell to the ground, and the clothes were scattered all over the floor. The two looked at each other and squatted down to pick them up at the same time.

"Girl, I'm so sorry..."

"No……"

"Girl, I was the one who was rude. If you don't accept my apology, I'll be even more sorry. I'll help you clean up!"

Zhen Sheng stood up, watched him tidy up in a hurry, and said, "I mean...you don't need to pay..."

Xue Luosi raised his head.

"Take it and follow."

"...Thank you girl!"

"I, my name is Zhen Sheng, and my surname is Tong Lan."

"How do I write it? The girl draws a few strokes on the back of my hand."

"……so."

"It's Ye Zhenzhen's Zhen..."

……

He loves Zhen Sheng, and even jealous that his son distracted her.

He likes to pester her with a shameless face, watching her do anything, even if she sits still, she won't feel bored.

He wanted to give Zhen Sheng a dignified title, even if she said it was not important, she didn't care much about those titles.

But now that their sons have grown up, they can take charge of their own affairs and even become the leader of the martial arts alliance. They are still just facing each other across the mountain.

The Duobao Pagoda ancestral hall in Houshan and Xue's deep courtyard is closed with many memories of Kong's hatred, and no one cares about it anymore.

Bei Mingyan refused to admit it: "I didn't push myself hard!"

Xue Luoqian smiled and said without saying anything, "The time is almost up, it's time to go, Ayan."

Bei Mingyan hurriedly got up to tidy up his body, looked up, and walked over curiously: "This sword is...?"

Xue Luoqian flicked the blade with two fingers: "Ordinary refined iron sword."

"Can't you bring the sword that Chaoxing liked so much that day?"

"...No, I'm just not used to it, compared to refined iron is more proficient."

Xue Yaoshan originally thought that he didn't have to worry about his grandson, even if Luo Bei and Tian Lai needed it, Xue Luoqian would definitely not need it, this child is stable.

Before meeting Bei Mingyan, he always felt that he didn't have to worry about Xue Luoqian...
