"Ah Ye, Ah Niang, Ah Jie …"
Yang Fan looked up at the night sky and softly called for his family.
The bright moon in the sky was as bright as a jade plate. In the dark shadow, he seemed to see the face of his strict father and mother, and the beautiful appearance of his sister.
Yang Fan slowly closed his eyes as tears quietly flowed to the side of his cheeks. Although it was something that happened many years ago, whenever he thought of the charred corpses of his parents and the tragic scene of his sister being beheaded, Yang Fan's heart still felt like it was being cut by a knife.
He choked with sobs and said, "Ah Ye, Ah Niang, Ah Jie, our family's great enemies have all been beheaded. You can rest in peace in heaven!"
With tears in his eyes, he gently poured a cup of wine on the ground.
Xiao Man couldn't help but be secretly surprised when she heard his words. She knew that Yang Fan's parents died when he was young, but she always thought that the death of Yang Fan's parents was caused by a natural disaster. However, at this moment, from Yang Fan's words, it seemed that there was more to it.
Seeing that Yang Fan was pouring wine to mourn, Xiao Man quickly followed his example and gently poured the wine in the cup in front of her. As the wine slowly poured on the ground, Xiao Man's mind flashed, and her body couldn't help but tremble. She involuntarily cried out, "Langjun, could it be that Qiu Shenji is … is Langjun's great enemy?"
Yang Fan was silent for a moment, then gently nodded and said, "Yes! My family … all died in the hands of Qiu Shenji! "
Xiao Man saw the glistening tears in his eyes and obediently closed her mouth. She only thought in her heart, "Qiu Shenji killed people like flies. Just in Bozhou of Henan Province, he killed more than a thousand families. I don't know where Langjun's hometown is. Now it seems that what Langjun said about living in Jiaozhi was also a lie to cover up his identity."
Xiao Man secretly guessed, but she forgot that Yang Fan had just said "all beheaded". If she had noticed this, she would have known that Yang Fan's enemies were not just Qiu Shenji alone.
Yang Fan put the wine cup on the ground and said in a low voice, "Ah Ye, I was naughty when I was young and didn't like to study, so I often made you angry. Now that I am a general, I finally have some prospects. Ah Ye, are you happy? Mother, I married a gentle, virtuous, beautiful, and adorable wife for you. Is Mother happy? Sister, if it wasn't for you, I would have gone with you and my parents. Now that your brother has his own family and business, I will definitely shoulder the responsibility of bringing glory to our family and restoring our reputation! Our family will prosper! Don't worry … "
When Xiao Man heard this, she quietly lowered her head and felt a little guilty.
Yes, she was now married to Yang Fan, but had she really fulfilled her responsibilities as a wife? Marrying a wife meant having children and passing on the family line. Langjun's family was killed, and he was alone. The responsibility of carrying on the family line was all on him, and she …
Xiao Man secretly glanced at Yang Fan. His eyes were shining with tears, staring at the bright moon in the sky. Langjun's eyebrows were black and bright, slanting to the temples. Langjun's nose was high and straight, as if it was hanging a gallbladder. Langjun's pursed lips were well-defined, and the lines of his lips were clear. He was really a very handsome man.
"He is my husband …" Looking at him under the soft moonlight, Xiao Man couldn't help but feel a ripple in her heart, "Maybe … I should try to accept him. He is the man who will accompany me for the rest of my life. If he touches me, I won't go 'crazy' again, right?"
"Xiao Man!"
Yang Fan suddenly turned to Xiao Man. Xiao Man was thinking about something, and when he looked at her, she was afraid that he would see through her thoughts. She suddenly blushed and quickly responded in a low voice. Yang Fan said, "Do you know … why I didn't set up a memorial tablet for my parents at home?"
Xiao Man shook her head gently. It was okay before, but now Yang Fan had his own mansion, but he didn't set up a memorial tablet for his parents. After she became a bride, Yang Fan never took her to pay respects to his parents. She had always felt it was strange.
Yang Fan said bitterly, "Because I don't know the real names of my parents!"
"What?"
This answer was far beyond Xiao Man's expectation. She opened her eyes in surprise.
Yang Fan said sadly, "I have checked the state government's household register. They all used aliases. When they were killed, they didn't even have time to tell me what our real surnames were, what our names were, and where we were from."
"I am the descendant of a criminal official. Although Qiu Shenji is dead, all the things he did back then were all ordered by His Majesty. These cases haven't been rehabilitated, so my true identity is still undiscovered. "
"When I first came to Luoyang, I only wanted to take revenge. At that time, I only wanted to take revenge with my own strength. I never thought that I would be able to mingle in the officialdom. Now that I am an official and my enemies are all dead, I think I should be able to do more for my family!"
"In order to ascend the throne, His Majesty eradicated many officials with the crime of rebellion. She will never be able to clear these people's names, unless … Li Tang's imperial family retakes the throne. So … I stand on the side of Li Tang's imperial family! "
Yang Fan stared at Xiao Man and said in a low voice, "The life of an official is extremely dangerous. You have seen these days, how many officials of the imperial court were incomparably glorious one moment, and then imprisoned the next moment. I have always been thinking whether or not I should tell you these secrets! Xiao Man, if you want to be my woman, you have to bear these dangers with me. You have the right to choose to stay or leave. If you are willing to leave, I can give you all our property, but I don't want it. If you are willing to follow me … leave or stay, I will listen to you! "
"Langjun …"
Xiao Man's eyes were a little moist. Her voice was very low, but her tone was firm and unquestionable. "Xiao Man is Langjun's official wife. Once I enter your door, I am yours. The oath of the Green Hut is still ringing in my ears. Xiao Man has not forgotten: I will never leave or abandon you for the rest of my life!"
Yang Fan was moved and gently held her small hand. Under the bright moon, the oath of the Green Hut seemed to be ringing in their ears. "Hold your hand, and die with your son. Hold your hand, and sleep with your son. Hold your hand, and be happy with your son. Hold your hand, and grow old with your son … "
…
There was only one small inn in Changgu Town. Because it was only a few dozen miles away from Luoyang, very few people would stay here unless they missed a place to stay. There was only one inn, and it mainly relied on selling wine to make money when guests came and went to rest.
The bright moon had already hung above the treetops, so it was unlikely that any guests would come at this time. The innkeeper yawned lazily and was about to go to the back of the house to rest when there was a sudden rush of horse hooves in the distance. Immediately, he saw a fast horse rushing to the door.
The innkeeper's spirit was lifted, and he quickly ordered a young waiter, "Hurry up, go and welcome the guests!"
The horse stopped in front of the inn, and a person jumped off the horse. His movements were extremely agile. This person was wearing a green riding suit and had a beautiful handlebar mustache. He was an elegant young man.
"Take the horse and feed it. Use the best bean fodder. Send the saddle to my lodging."
The person gave the order and walked into the inn while shaking his horsewhip. He said in a clear voice, "Innkeeper, arrange a good guest room for me and two tables of good banquets for me."
The innkeeper was surprised, and he said, "This guest, you mean two tables of banquets?"
The young man smiled and said, "Yes, one table is fine, but there is no need for too many dishes. Send it to my room. The other table should be more sumptuous, and it will be placed in this living room. In a while, my six brothers will come, and you can even prepare a room for them in advance! "
When the innkeeper heard that there was business coming, he couldn't help but smile and quickly agreed. He ordered the kitchen to prepare wine and dishes, and personally led the young man to the guest room. Not long after, there was a chaotic sound of horse hooves outside the inn. Sure enough, there were six fast horses galloping over.
These six people were all strong men in their twenties or thirties, and their mounts were also extraordinary. At a glance, it was obvious that they were long-distance horses with extraordinary endurance. There were sabers hanging on the front of the saddle, and they carried saddle bags on the back. Like the young man who had arrived earlier, they were all long-distance travelers.
The innkeeper had already been warned by the young man, and when he saw the six people arriving, he immediately went up to greet them. Among the six people, a middle-aged man with a square face and big ears looked at the horse that was being fed in the corridor, and said to the innkeeper, "Innkeeper, prepare a few superior rooms for us, and also some food for us!"
The innkeeper rubbed his hands and said with a smile, "Dear guests, the six superior rooms have been prepared for you, and the food has also been prepared. Please come in quickly!"
The middle-aged man pointed at him with his horsewhip and said with a smile, "Innkeeper, you really know how to do business, and your polite words are so intimate. If I didn't know better, I would have thought that you were a fortune teller!"
The innkeeper smiled and said, "How could this old man have that kind of ability? Didn't you have a friend who arrived a step earlier? He was the one who told this old man, and this table of dishes was also ordered by him. He also said that he was indebted to you for escorting him all the way from the foot of Mount Shaohua, and that he was very grateful. This table of dishes, is a token of his appreciation."
When the six knights heard this, they couldn't help but look at each other with a wry smile, and one of them muttered to himself, "So, our tracks have long been discovered by her!"
In the room, the young man with the handlebar mustache gently tore off the two tufts of mustache on his face, and mischievously made a face at himself in the mirror. Only then did he get up and walked to the basin, and gently washed away the disguise on his face, gradually revealing a beautiful face that was both happy and angry.
It turned out that this young man with the handlebar mustache was actually Tin Aino in disguise. She opened the saddle, took out a set of light clothes, and put it on, then returned to the table and sat down. There were already a few light dishes on the table, and there was also a pot of good wine. Tin Aino poured a cup, raised it in her hand, and smiled sweetly.
Her heart was very, very small, so she had never asked anyone to live in it. Once she asked someone to live in it, her heart would be filled to the brim, and there would be no room for anyone else. Ever since she opened her heart and poured all her affection on Yang Fan, this girl who had closed herself off for many years could no longer extricate herself.
If you love someone too deeply, your heart will be intoxicated.
Tomorrow, she would be able to see him again. Thinking of this, before Ah Nu drank, she was already intoxicated with happiness …
