Li Daitao

Yi Zhen thought that Po Jun had no choice.Knowing that Po Jun agreed to go to mediate, he had expected it, but he vaguely felt that something was wrong.

But think about it, now that a hundred thousand troops are besieging the city, Zeguo's pitifully small and useless troops are all under firm control.Even if Po Jun can get away, he can't play any tricks.What's more, he may not be able to win the trust of others now.

He couldn't find anything wrong, but he was a little unhappy.Po Jun's expression was gloomy, but his face was indifferent, and he didn't look at him very much with his eyes down.

Yi Zhen had no choice but to endure his unhappiness, and agreed on a limit of three days.Ask Qing Lan to personally send Qin Shu into the city.I also called Qing Lan alone, and explained a lot, but most of them were just trivial matters.Until Qing Lan was a little surprised and said: "Master Hou?"

He just came back to his senses, and after thinking about it, he seemed to have nothing else to say.He had no choice but to say: "Look at him carefully, let him be determined, and it's best not to make any small moves." He waved his hand and let him go.

Qing Lan took a look at her master, then bowed her head and said yes.

The city gate was replaced by the Northern Jin garrison earlier, and the people were strictly forbidden to move around in the city, and Jin soldiers could be seen patrolling everywhere.However, when many people changed their guards, everyone had already abided by the law, and no one made any noise or joked.Only the sound of neat footsteps is heard, which shows that the military discipline is strict.

The two entered the city in a carriage, clinging to the token of Marquis Yanzi, the journey was unimpeded.

Qin Shu watched all this from the car, his face was snow-white, but he pursed his lips even more tightly and remained silent.Qing Lan didn't talk too much, he knew the way and drove the carriage to Liang's mansion himself.

Only then did he say to Qin Shu, "Here we are."

Qin Shu supported the shaft of the car and slowly got down, with a hint of worry on his face.He has never returned home since he was a child, and now he looks at the door of the house as he remembered it when he was a child, but he came back under such circumstances, and he could hardly move his feet for a while.

Qing Lan didn't say a word, and went to knock on the door.

The residences of all important officials in Tongcheng were surrounded by Jin soldiers, and Prime Minister Liang's residence was no exception.Not long after, a servant came to answer the door, obviously a little panicked.But in the end, etiquette is strict at ordinary times.He looked at the two of them suspiciously, but still responded politely.

Qing Lan turned to look at Qin Shu, and saw him standing there in a daze.So he went up to talk to his servants.

Qin Shu left home when he was young and never came back.The servant didn't know him either.After Qing Lan finished speaking, she looked at Qin Shu who had been standing behind carefully, but showed a look of disdain.Said: "Our family only has one eldest lady, but there has never been any son." After speaking, without waiting for Qinglan to explain, he closed the door with a bang.

Qing Lan was slightly taken aback, and couldn't help feeling slightly annoyed.When he was about to go forward and knock on the door again, someone tugged his sleeve lightly.When he looked back, it was Qin Shu who held him back.

"Let's find a secluded place and go in by ourselves."

When Qin Shu said this, he turned his head sideways, neither looking at him nor Liang's house, his eyes were empty and he didn't know where to fall.

Qing Lan looked back at the closed door and had no objection to it.

The two walked around to a corner wall.Qin Shugang was about to lift his spirits up to the wall.Unexpectedly, the wound was touched, and the pain immediately turned black, and he gasped involuntarily, almost falling headfirst.

Fortunately, Qing Lan was beside him, she held him by the hand, and carried him into the courtyard.When I let go of my hand, I felt that the touch on my hand was vaguely weird.Through his clothes, he could feel the astonishingly high temperature of his arms.

After thinking about it for a while, he still couldn't help Qin Shu pointing under his ribs: "It's best to find a doctor as soon as possible, Cang Yan's attack is heavy, probably a bone is broken."

Qin Shu insisted on standing firm as soon as he landed, and looked around in a blink of an eye.He didn't care about his words, nodded lightly and said, "Thank you."

The place where the two stayed was a small garden, full of flowers and trees, most of which were lush and lush, and it really was very secluded.

Qin Shu obviously still remembered this courtyard, showing a look of nostalgia.

He didn't feel emotion for a long time, he quickly discerned the direction, found a corner door in the south and walked out of the courtyard.

Qing Lan followed him out of the courtyard and within a few steps, she met a person rushing out from the inner courtyard in a hurry.He was obviously surprised to see the two of them suddenly.Pointing at Qin Shu, he said, "You...?"

This person looks very young, so naturally he cannot be Xiang Liang.But his expression obviously recognized Qin Shu.Qing Lan went to see Qin Shu in silence.

Qin Shu forced a smile, and called him shyly, "Brother-in-law."

"You..." Apart from astonishment, this man also had a vague panic that couldn't be concealed. He held up his finger in disbelief for a long time, and finally stamped his foot. "How did you come back?"

"I want to see my father." Qin Shu lowered his head and said in a low voice.

Liu Yingzhao stared at him, his eyes uncertain, as if he had no intention of leading the way.Qin Shu seemed like an outsider in this family.He didn't speak, so he just stood there with his head buried straight.

Qing Lan coughed, causing Liu Ying to take a look at him. He seemed to realize that Qing Lan, a person he didn't know, came with Qin Shu.Slightly startled.Asked Qinglan suspiciously: "This is?"

Qing Lan jumped in front of Qin Shu, nodded and said, "I'm Po Jun's friend." With his back turned to Qin Shu, he cast a sharp gaze across Liu Yingzhao's face.Liu Yingzhao only felt that an ice blade was shaving his face, and he took two steps back in shock.

Qing Lan's polite and flat voice was heard beside her ears: "Qin Shu came back specially this time to meet Prime Minister Liang and discuss important matters."

Taking a closer look, Qing Lan still has a flat face, as if it was just his illusion.Liu Yingzhao didn't dare to stop him, he hesitated for a while and said, "Father is in the study. Follow me."

He led Qin Shu to the inner courtyard, and Qing Gang walked slowly behind a few steps.He walked all the way and lowered his voice and said to Qin Shu: "Didn't I hear that you were captured by Marquis Yanzi? Why did you come back..."

Qin Shu was full of bitterness, so he could only smile wryly and did not answer.

Qing Lan raised her voice and said: "You and your father haven't seen each other for a long time, so it's inconvenient for outsiders who have nothing to do with us to disturb you."

Liu Yingzhao was startled, seeing that Qing Lan was casting her eyes on herself, with a hint of warning.Although he didn't know Qing Lan's identity, he had an unreasonable fear of this person.I wanted to follow up in the study, but I had to give up this idea at this time.Chao Qin Shu forced a smile and said, "You go talk to your father first, and I'll ask the servants to prepare tea."

Qing Lan said: "You go, I'll wait for you here." After saying that, she didn't follow her.

Qin Shu nodded gratefully towards him.Standing at the door for a while, he finally gritted his teeth and pushed the door open.

Qing Lan picked the highest point of the rockery and sat far away.

————————————

Liang Xiang sent him to the palace at the age of six, and only regarded him as his personal attendant Pojun.Even though he was worried about him, he never took the opportunity of the festival to visit him.The post-servant Pojun is a little older, so he can be on duty with the emperor, and even go out of the palace to do some errands for the emperor. There are not many opportunities for the father and son to meet. close concern.

And this family never came back from the day they sent him out.The study room is as big as he remembers, even the snow stone inkstone that he broke a corner when he was mischievous when he was young, is still carefully and carefully placed on the desk by his father, so that he can see it when he looks up.

The only thing that has changed a lot is Liang Xiang himself.The last time we met was only a month ago, but after dozens of days, Liang Xiang lost weight surprisingly, worries and worries carved indelible marks on his clear and tough face.The white hair has climbed up to the corners of the beard like frost and snow, and it is uncontrollable like a tide.It was as if ten years of time had passed by him in an instant.

And Qin Shu knelt in front of him, no matter how much he tried to support himself in front of others, he was like a child who had been wronged and bullied outside, filled with grief and anger, and wished he could cry.However, knowing that he couldn't do it, he could only suppress the sadness in his heart, but he could hardly hold back the tears.His voice became hoarse, and then he choked up and said, "Father."

"Xiaoshu." On the contrary, Liang was calmer than him.Although he was pleasantly surprised to see him at first, he did not lose his composure.Still able to sit upright.Pull him with a sigh. "It's rare for us father and son to see each other, and it's even rarer for us to talk properly. Let's get up and talk about everything."

Qin Shu refused to get up, and Liang Xiang didn't force it. He stretched out his hand and slowly stroked his hair. Ever since he was sent away, he never thought that there could be such a tender moment between father and son, which made both of them a little dazed.He didn't speak for a while, and passed in silence for a while.

It was Liang Xiang who spoke first: "Xiao Shu, where have you been going these few days?"

Qin Shu suffocated, his body froze immediately, and cold sweat slowly seeped out, soaking his entire vest, but he didn't know how to answer.He originally wanted to die before he came, and he only wanted to see his father, and then repay his father's love for the king with his body.But at this moment, the answer was like a bitter green fruit in his mouth, but he couldn't tell his father no matter what.

Xiang Liang then said: "I heard from Yingzhao that you have surrendered to Marquis Yanzi a long time ago, and you have taken Marquis Yanzi to search for Concubine Shu's whereabouts in the past few days..."

Qin Shu groaned in his throat like a trapped animal, so weak that even Prime Minister Liang hadn't heard it.He only felt that his whole body was cold, but his heart was hot and uncomfortable like a fire, but he couldn't move a finger, and couldn't utter a word.

"Someone said that you were with King Duan and went in and out together these few days. I have seen that person from a distance. Others couldn't tell, but I recognized that it wasn't you. This is someone pretending to try to destroy your innocence." Liang Xiang said in a low voice: "The person Ying Zhao said must not be you, right?"

Qin Shuru fell into an ice kiln, and wanted to confess all the crimes he had committed.However, strangely, he heard his weak voice: "No. I have been hiding outside the city for the past few days..."

As these words came out, his whole body almost went limp.Knowing that he lied to his father, he no longer had the strength and courage to correct him.

There was a relieved smile on Liang Xiang's face, but then he thought of something, and the smile suddenly became bitter.He sighed softly at him, and pointed to the chair beside him: "Get up first. I have something to say to you."

Seeing his serious expression, Qin Shu sat aside and listened carefully.

Liang Xiang seemed to be very worried, and this worry was also very sad, and he said slowly after a long while: "Xiao Shu, do you know that Tan Lang and his party met Duan Wang's elite in the Huaiwu area... It is said that Tan Lang ...has died in battle..."

Hearing the sound of objects falling to the ground, Qin Shu seemed to want to get up and rush over, but knocked over two chairs in a row, and even tripped himself, falling to the ground together.But as if he didn't realize it, he clutched the leg of a chair tightly, but said in a daze: "No..."

"Little Shu, calm down!" Liang Xiang knew that he and Tanlang Qisha grew up together, and they were as close as brothers.He only said that it was caused by his temporary grief and difficulty in accepting it.I hurried to pull him up.

"No..." Qin Shu's expression was terrified and inexplicable, he looked up at the person blankly, and asked softly with the last trace of hope, "Then, where is Mrs. Li?"

Liang Xiang sighed sadly, originally shaking his head.After a long while, he said: "Northern Jin has locked up the news tightly, and it is very difficult to convey the news. I only got a few words yesterday, and it may not be true..." After talking about it, I knew that it might be very remote, and even I couldn't believe it.

He held Qin Shu's hand and felt the temperature was scorching hot, but Qin Shu's face was pale and blank, and those dark eyes looked at him fixedly, as if carved out of wood, it would never turn again.After all, it is flesh and blood, Liang Xiang couldn't help but shouted in horror: "Xiaoshu, what's wrong with you, Xiaoshu?"

Like a thunderbolt from the blue sky, turning the last sliver of luck into dust, Qin Shuru was in the vast ocean, with huge waves in his eyes, and he was ups and downs in the torrent, even though he was holding a wooden stick tightly in his hand, But he couldn't help himself at all, he heard Liang Xiang calling him, but it took him a long time to come back to his senses, and he forced a smile on his face, but it was more sad than crying.He whispered: "I'm fine. I just thought that I would like to fight to the death like a greedy wolf in order to repay the grace of God."

Liang Xiang looked at him, his eyes were very worried. Since childhood, he taught him that being a father is the most important thing, and friends are trustworthy. It is not surprising that his son said such things. Even if he wanted to comfort him, he was powerless and unable to mention it.In the end, he could only sigh softly and say, "Good boy!"

He still had more important matters to explain to Qin Shu at this time, so he shook his hand lightly.He helped the overturned chair and pulled Qin Shuqiang to sit on it.He walked quickly to the side, opened the hidden compartment on the bookshelf, and took out a small porcelain bottle from it.

Qin Shu almost bit his teeth to bleed, and his father's words were like a knife blade, piercing his flesh every word, like piercing his heart, and he wished he could die just like that.Tanlang died in battle, but the last hope of the empire, the only remaining bloodline of Emperor Jingwen, was personally ruined by him.Facing his old father, he didn't dare to utter a single word—he is a sinner of this empire!

Liang Xiang walked over, not understanding what he was really thinking.Seeing that he was still very sad, he patted his back lightly.

Liang Xiang handed the porcelain bottle to him.It seemed a little hard to say, and he said after a long time: "You were not allowed to read miscellaneous books in the past. I don't know if you have read some records. In ancient times, there was a Franciscan who could make people conceive with a man..." All he studied for many years was poetry. Book etiquette and righteousness, the saying of saints.It's embarrassing to bring this up.In just a few sentences, the efficacy of the medicine is exhausted.

"It's been a while since I got this medicine. It's just that it hurts the peace of heaven because of things, and I didn't expect the current situation. I never had a chance to give it to you. Things are now, and I don't care about it. Although Concubine Shu Escaped from the capital, but the phoenix still has a year to come again to protect our dynasty. The only bloodline is unpredictable. The Northern Jin Dynasty wins, but instead wants to surrender instead of fighting. It can always drag on for a few days. You have Opportunity to approach His Majesty, to find a reliable person..."

"Men are not as eye-catching as women. If you want to protect a man from the Northern Jin Dynasty, it is always easier than women..."
