Dream Hua Embers Records

With a whip, the silk cotton trousers burst open, and the honeysuckle-patterned flowers were torn into a big mouth with a miserable smile, revealing the tangled silks inside.

Yan Qihao's thoughts, like this silk floss, are entangled and entwined... Those memories of the past are stuffy in his heart.

When I was five years old, in the same winter, I saw Puhan for the first time. Heitan-like boy from Beimo was as old as Yanyin now. He was only seven years old, but a head taller than himself.She was wrapped in an old sheepskin robe without sleeves, her feet were bare, and her eyes were shining like stars.

"My servant has met Mr. Xiao Lang." He saluted respectfully.

"Aren't you cold?" he asked.

"I'm used to it." He grinned, revealing a mouthful of white and neat teeth.

That was the first conversation between the two.

So... what was the last time?Yan Qihao struggled to recall, but couldn't remember anything.Did Zhengdan prepare clothes for Yan Yin that day?Or was it the hasty side when I came to see Yan Yin one night?What was said, why can’t I remember it at all, there are too many and complicated things these days, these small things are forgotten afterward, without leaving a trace, now I want to recall it, but I can’t find it.

I just remember that when I handed Yan Yin to him, he said: "Even if you risk your life, you must protect Xiao Langjun." At that time, no one thought that this sentence would become a prophecy... I still think about it in my ears. Hearing Puhan's last words, "Go on, little man!" Two "Little man", two generations of father and son, for a lifetime, just slipped by like this.

I still remember that in the spring of that year, his mother and concubine passed away.The two were lying in a large sea of ​​Viola flowers.He looked at the sky and wept silently. He took his hand and said, "Don't worry, I will protect you. I am already 13 years old and I am an adult."

I still remember that in the year when he married Zhengfei, he drank a lot of wine, got drunk and slept all night in front of the bridal chamber steps.As soon as he opened the door in the morning, he saw that his brows were swollen, covered with a thin layer of frost, but his eyes were the same as when he was a child, shining brightly, with a shy smile on his face... That time, he was never afraid of the cold, never He had never been sick, but he got a severe cold, and it took several months to recover.

It was spring when Yingge got married, and the poplar flowers all over the sky set off Yingge's feather coat, like a wedding in a fairyland.He snatched his wine and kept him from getting drunk again,

"It's time for you to find a woman, too."

"If I have a woman to protect, I won't be able to protect the prince wholeheartedly." He still smiled shyly.

Among the poplars all over the sky, that smile seemed so blurred, as if it contained a thousand words... Just like the poplars at this moment...

Yan Qihao collected himself, only to realize that the white catkins flying in front of him were not poplar flowers, but silky catkins that were broken by the horsewhip, floating everywhere.

The brothers from childhood, now they are dead or scattered, this is the only one left, and now they are gone...

Suddenly, Yan Qihao found that one or two of the fluttering flocks were stained red, he was startled, and hurriedly lowered the whip in his hand.When he looked down, he saw traces of blood oozing from Yan Yin's buttocks.It was only then that Yan Qihao realized that the child had not moved or made a sound for a long time, and was just silently enduring the whipping.

Yan Qihao turned pale with shock, his heart seemed to be hit hard by a boulder, his voice trembled, "Yin'er..."

After a moment of silence, the child lying on the bed made an inaudible voice, "Father..."

Yan Qihao's heart returned to his cavity, and he seemed to come alive all of a sudden.

Yan Yin moved her body slightly, and the two hands that were originally pressed under her head were exposed. One had a large bruise on the back of her hand, which was stepped on just now, and the other had two rows of deep bruises on her wrist. Tooth marks must have been bitten out with pain.

Yan Qihao's heart ached for a while, he grabbed the bruised little hand, squeezed it lightly, Yan Yin shrank back in pain, but finally held back.

There was no problem with the bones, Yan Qihao let out a sigh of relief.

"Father... don't kill me, give me a good time..." Yan Yin's voice, as soft as the fluttering silk, came faintly.

Yan Qihao frowned, this kid, did he really think he was going to kill him?

"Second brother caused elder brother to drown, it was unintentional, he really accidentally fell and rolled down the shore of the lake... I killed Puhan, but I was self-willed and playful, it's all my fault..."

In front of Yan Qihao's eyes, another child's figure appeared again, his clothes were torn and his body covered with welts, but he insisted on kneeling in front of the elder son's spirit and remained motionless until he passed out on the ground...

To admonish the nephew was originally just to let them recognize their mistakes and learn a lesson. Since the child has already blamed himself so much, why should he punish him like this again, and add a handful of salt to his already bleeding wound?

Yan Qihao felt a great pain in his heart. He just wanted to take off Yan Yin's pants to see his injury, but he was worried that the flying silk fluff would seep into the wound, so he hesitated for a moment, put the medicinal wine in his hand on the table, and said, "In Don't move here, wait for daddy to come back." Then he turned and went out.

Originally, he only wanted to teach Yan Yin a little lesson, but he didn't expect that the skin would be broken and bleeding. The medicinal wine is for promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, so it is not suitable for open wounds.Yan Qihao stepped on his horse and returned to his big tent in a short while to get medicine for Yan Yin.This time, Yan Qihao didn't bring a single follower with him, thinking about this kind of thing, the less people know the better, if Yan Yin is crying and screaming, it would be disrespectful to be heard by the follower, you have to save some face for him .But I didn't expect that the child would not say a word after being beaten so hard.

Yan Qihao hurried back to the big tent, and just as he was about to go out after taking the wound medicine, a fifteen- or sixteen-year-old soldier ran in outside, panting and said: "My lord! You are back, and I have been looking for you everywhere! King Chong, please come over." Discuss the matter, saying that it is a thorough investigation of the riots in the city today."

Yan Qihao frowned, this matter is naturally a big one.There was an inexplicable commotion in the city today, and it was necessary to investigate thoroughly to be relieved. He hesitated for a moment, handed the medicine to the soldier, and gave instructions for a long time before he rode his horse to King Chong's tent.

In King Chong's big tent, the lights were brightly lit, and all the newly-appointed envoys for the promotion of the four walls knelt down, and one of them kowtowed repeatedly while speaking in detail.

Yan Qihao only listened for a moment before he understood the whole story.It turned out that the collection of gold and silver was coming to an end, but most of the gold and silver confiscated from various houses were trivial and small, which was not easy to transport. The gold and silver receivers of the Yuan Army weighed them and returned them to the Daliang Mansion, asking them to melt and cast them. Turn it into a gold ingot and return it.Whenever gold and silver are melted and cast, there must be some wear and tear, but the gold and silver acceptors are picky in every possible way. At one time, they said that the weight was not enough, and that the color was not good.Over the past month, the officials of the Daliang Mansion have been accustomed to accepting it, and they dare not argue. They just promised to recast it.

Because the prerequisite for the two countries to formally sign the peace agreement is to transfer all the gold and silver in the city to the Nalao army, Zhao Suzong over there is also urging him very urgently. thing.Due to the huge amount of this batch of gold and silver, the customs defense is naturally very strict, and there are a large number of escorts, but it is inconvenient to explain to the outside world.When the common people along the way saw it, they couldn't help guessing, and there were rumors that Daliang City would be handed over to the source country, and all the people in the city would move south.No one thought that the rumor would be spread one after another, and it would lead to an accident.

At first, there were still a small number of people running with the escort vehicles, and the Daliang government officials drove away a group, and then another group came. When those dispersed people returned to various places, they spread all kinds of absurd and grotesque speculations everywhere, attracting more people. People went to the street to watch and saw a large group of people running blindly, and these people naturally joined in. In the end, they became a group of people running wildly in the city, like a group of blind sheep.

While listening, Yan Qihao sighed in his heart that he was not worth doing for Puhan.
