[Soldiers Assault Gao Yuan] Flowers and beautiful family members

As the days went by, Gao Cheng's injuries gradually healed. When the weather was fine, he would sit in the yard for a while. Ma Xiaoshuai made tea and accompanied Gao Cheng in the yard to read a book, or look at flowers, or be in a daze.The weather outside the Great Wall is dry and windy, especially just after spring, when a gust of wind blows and the gravel hits the face and hurts, so this kind of place is actually not suitable for growing flowers, especially not suitable for growing delicate and beautiful peonies, but Qinyu There are two plants planted in the yard, one white and one red, and the colors complement each other beautifully.

Ma Xiaoshuai was lying on the stone table, looking sideways at the two tall and exuberant flowers and trees, a little puzzled: "Master, what kind of flower is this? I haven't seen it before!"

Gao Cheng was a little fascinated looking at the flowers, and said lightly: "You grew up outside the pass, how could you have seen such a delicate thing, this is a peony flower, there are many peonies in Luoyang, I didn't expect to see it in this bitter cold place like Yunzhou. The peonies are blooming so well!"

"This peony was brought back for me by Yuan Langtuo from the northwestern border. It is resistant to cold and drought and has strong vitality. It is very suitable for the climate of Yunzhou!" Qin Yu just came back from the yard and walked over with a smile : "Not all peonies are delicate, it's just forced by life!"

Gao Cheng smiled, still looking at the peony: "Do you know the name of this peony?"

Qinyu walked up to the flower, her gaze was gentle, she lowered her head and caressed the petals, the smile on her mouth seemed to be looking at her lover, and she said in a very soft voice: "The white one is called Yuhu Bingxin, and the red one..." He Brushing two flowers that were blooming at the same time on a branch with his hand, he said, "Let's face the clouds side by side!"

"Bingdi?" Gao Cheng was inexplicably taken aback, shouldn't Bingdi be husband and wife?Yuan Lang gave Qinyu the flower, could it be that he really likes Qinyu?He also remembered that Qinyu had never been called Prince Yuan Lang or Mr. Yuan, which showed the close relationship between the two.

Qinyu looked up at Gao Cheng, saw his puzzled expression, and finally laughed out loud: "I'm just trying to make my master happy. Although this red one looks a bit like a cloud, but it's a pillar of red crown jade beads!"

Gao Cheng frowned slightly, glanced at Qinyu, and said after a while, "Even if it is Chaoyun and stalks, it may not be able to bloom such a good stalk of flowers!"

Qinyu didn't speak, she lowered her head and stared at the two red flowers crowded together on the red crown jade bead, a wry smile flashed across her mouth, she lightly touched the slightly higher corolla with her fingers, and said softly, "It's a pity, No matter how much the other one falls in love, it can't catch up with the one that bloomed first!"

Gao Cheng could see that this Qinyu was really moved by Yuan Lang, but unfortunately Yuan Lang didn't seem to be the case, and his heart moved: "The one that blooms first will wither first, and the petals of the two will fall into the mud together in the end, there is no distinction between high and low! "

He wanted to comfort Qinyu, but Qinyu gave a grateful smile when he heard it, and the look of sadness on his face was even worse: "He and I are not only high or low, it is a world of difference. To him, I am There is no greed, whatever he does, I will do for him, and it doesn't matter if I risk my life!"

Gao Cheng was puzzled, but had nothing to say.

The courtyard was quiet for a while, and Ma Xiaoshuai stood obediently behind Gao Cheng, and looked at his master Hou and this young man in doubt, saying something he couldn't understand. Guan has something to say, even if this person provides them with room and board, it is only the arrangement of the deposed so-called little prince, and he is faintly disdainful.

After a while, Qinyu suddenly raised her head, with a smile on her face again: "Look at the flowers, I forgot the business, Yuan Lang sent someone to send a message, I will come here tonight, I'm afraid there is something to discuss!"

"Send a message?" Gao Cheng was surprised. In the past, Yuan Lang occasionally sent a message, or came in person, but he never sent a message in advance: "But what happened?"

Qinyu's eyes faltered a few times: "He said...the whereabouts of General Gao and Princess Elder have been found!"

"Where are they?" Gao Cheng stood up suddenly, took the teacup on the table down, and the tea spilled on the hem of his clothes. Ma Xiaoshuai hurried over to wipe it, but was pushed away by Gao Cheng: "Where are my parents? Are they safe?"

Qin Yu shook her head: "The person who sent the message only said this, the specifics will be known only after meeting Yuan Lang at night!"

Gao Cheng was in a trance for a while. If his parents were well, Yuan Lang didn't have to make a special trip to come over. He even sent someone to pass the message in advance. This is obviously to make preparations himself.Have the parents already...

For the next day, Gao Cheng spent the rest of the day in a trance, and he had made up a hundred or eighty possibilities in his mind, so when Yuan Lang appeared in his room in the middle of the night, for the first time, there was not a pot of tea on the table in Gao Cheng's room, but a This book, but a few dishes of exquisite fruit and a jug of fine Fen wine.

"Sit down and have a drink with me!" Gao Cheng shook the wine glass in his hand.

Yuan Lang sat down next to him, watched him pour himself a glass of wine, then lightly touched the glass in front of him with his quilt, made a crisp "ding" sound, and drank it all in one gulp.

Yuan Lang held the cup in his hand, looked at Gao Cheng, expressionless: "You can't be scared by gold and iron horses, now my aunt and uncle are still alive, why are you like this?"

Gao Cheng paused: "Alive?"

Yuan Lang smiled strangely, put the wine glass on his lips and took a sip: "Of course I'm still alive, but..."

Gao Cheng's heart was raised again: "But how?"

"My aunt and uncle are still visiting at the Jizhou Governor's Mansion!" Yuan Lang put down his wine glass.

"Jizhou?" Gao Cheng was surprised: "Could it be that my parents are coming to Yunzhou?"

"It should be so, but it's a pity that all places along the road have received secret decrees from Emperor Shen. Now my aunt and uncle have been arrested by Wu Liuyi, the prefect of Jizhou, and are under house arrest in the mansion. It is said that they will be escorted to Jiangnan in the near future!" Yuan Lang said calmly, looking at Gao Cheng's face. .

Gao Cheng's face was as heavy as iron: "Escort Jiangnan?"

The room fell into silence for a while, everyone knew that if General Gao and Princess Eldest were sent back to Jiangnan this time, not to mention that they faked their deaths to escape Emperor Shen's control, it was said that Gao Cheng's life and death were uncertain, and he had become an abandoned son, Shen The emperor will definitely use this to cut the weeds and eradicate the roots, so I am afraid that going back this time will be more or less auspicious!

"Could it be... there is no way..." Gao Cheng said half a sentence, then pursed his lips, he wanted Yuan Lang to save him, but...

During this period of time, Gao Cheng has also somewhat known Yuan Lang's deep influence in the surrounding areas of Yunzhou and even in the northwest region, and he also knew how much effort Yuan Lang spent in cultivating these forces. How many years will it take to gain the trust of so many people in Izumo Prefecture and act like a libertine?But if I beg him to save my parents, maybe I will expose his years of hard work...

Gao Cheng looked up and saw Yuan Lang looking at him with a wine glass, with a calm face and peaceful eyes. The two looked at each other for a long time. Finally, Gao Cheng picked up the wine pot and poured another glass for himself and Yuan Lang, and raised it up.

Yuan Lang also raised his wine glass to touch Gao Cheng, and Qi Qi poured the wine down his throat.

That night, Gao Cheng lay in bed staring at the boundless darkness in a daze, he thought a lot, a lot.

Gao Cheng was four years old that year, and his grandpa passed away. Not long after, his second uncle became the emperor, but the eldest uncle died. He followed his mother to the uncle's house to pay homage. Seeing the dazzling white eyes, he walked into the mourning hall. , his mother took him to a six or seven-year-old boy who was dressed in heavy filial piety. The mother asked the little boy, "Chen Lang, what will you do in the future? Go home with your aunt!"

The little boy looked past his mother, looked at the coffin behind her, and said flatly: "Thank you for your kindness, aunt, but I still have my concubine..."

Before he finished speaking, a eunuch's sharp voice came from outside: "The emperor is here!"

Gao Cheng saw the flash of hatred in the little boy's eyes, but quickly brought his servants to kneel down and shouted long live. Unexpectedly, the emperor brought a decree to deprive him of his imperial status. A haggard woman ran out from the backyard and pulled Crying and cursing on the emperor's sleeve, the people around the emperor were eager to protect the lord and pushed and shoved fiercely. The woman was weak and was pushed onto the coffin and died on the spot.

Gao Cheng cried out in fear, his mother pushed him into the servant's arms, went to grab the emperor and said, "Second brother, the eldest brother and sister-in-law have gone, the child is innocent, you and I also watched him grow up, please Don't send him to a place of bitter cold, he won't be able to survive..."

The emperor was furious, pushed Gao Cheng's mother aside, and walked away.

Gao Cheng looked back in horror, and saw the small figure of his cousin kneeling beside the woman who had died of anger, his face was stern, and his mother cried and comforted him for a long time. Small, thin, lonely, but extraordinarily straight back.It was 15 years since that day. During these 15 years, Gao Chengben lived a comfortable life. Under the protection of his parents, he has been living a life of playing horses and parading in the streets, watching flowers and teasing dogs, and all this happened when he was 16 years old. The frontier gradually disappeared due to meritorious deeds in killing enemies. The emperor's distrust, the crown prince's vigilance, and the dignitaries' sects wooed him, intentionally or unintentionally, getting him involved in court battles. He was eventually abandoned by Emperor Shen, and even his parents were involved. Knowing this, it is better to be a prodigal son who is drunk and dreams of death.

Thinking of the prodigal son, Gao Cheng got up abruptly, sat on the bed, his eyes sparkled, Yuan Lang used the prodigal son as a cover, and developed his power at a young age, and he still wanted to rely on him to save his parents, and his closest relatives Powerless to rescue, how can the country be established and the world be peaceful?Gao Cheng clenched his fists in the darkness.
