He did not cry loudly or curse the heaven and the earth like Cao Zhen.
Instead, he just knelt there, with sincerity in his eyes.
Sadness overflowed in his pupils, and his whole face trembled uncontrollably.
"Hey!" Zhu Yunxi looked at him and sighed, "Come forward!"
It was very difficult for Li Jinglong to get up from the ground. The burly man could not stand up the first time. The second time he gritted his teeth and stood up, his trembling legs were very staggering, as if he could fall down at any time.
It's not so much walking as it is grinding. Step by step, the sound of boots scraping against the ground is so harsh.
"Give me a hand!" Zhu Yunxi frowned.
Two Jinyi guards came forward, one on the left and one on the right, carrying Li Jinglong to the side of the carriage.
Zhu Yunxi looked again and saw that Li Jinglong's boots and breeches were almost torn, and his legs and arms were shaking constantly. His hands were full of blisters.
"Your Majesty!" Li Jinglong held back tears, "Let me go!"
"How are you going like this? Go back to rest and freshen up!" Zhu Yunxi patted him on the shoulder, "I know you have intentions, and so does the old man!"
"No!" Li Jinglong grinned and cried loudly, "I just need to watch from a distance, just watch from a distance!"
"Okay!" He cried, which made Zhu Yunxi's nose sore. "Then you can follow me!"
With that said, Zhu Yunxi got off the shoulder carriage and walked to the war horse that had been prepared and got on the horse.
Looking back on the horse, Li Jinglong weakly stepped on the back of his own soldier and lay down on the horse with the push of the other two guards.
"You ride in the carriage!" Zhu Yunxi said, "You bastard, find him some clean clothes, find some medicine to apply on him, and then wash his face!"
After saying that, Zhu Yunxi sighed again and waved his riding whip gently.
But as soon as the war horse took a few steps forward, another voice came from the distance, "Master Marquis, this can't work! You can't break in. Long Live the Lord is in front!"
"roll!"
Immediately after there was a bang, Zhu Yunxi clearly saw that the guard outside the Meridian Gate was kicked solidly.
Then, he saw Guo Ying and knelt down facing him from a distance.
He straightened his upper body and looked at him with a stubborn look in his eyes, full of begging.
"Okay!" Zhu Yunxi waved his hand, "Come with me!"
Guo Ying immediately got up and jumped onto the horse neatly, not at all like an old man in his seventies.
Then, Guo Ying rode up behind Zhu Yunxi and said, "Old minister, follow the emperor!"
Zhu Yunxi glanced at him a few times, nodded, and then looked back at Li Jinglong who was getting into the carriage.
"After all, their generation grew up in a honeypot, unlike Chen who has been on horseback for decades!" Guo Ying whispered, "Besides, he came back from Shandong, and Dao'er is much farther away than Chen.
many!"
Zhu Yunxi frowned, "Where did he meet you?"
"Huai'an!"
"Oh!" Zhu Yunxi nodded.
But then he frowned again, "Jinan is not far from King Lu, right? Didn't we meet him on the way?"
"Cao Guogong asked his ministers to leave a fast horse at Huai'an Station, saying that King Qi and King Lu should be behind!" Guo Ying said again.
"Yes!" Zhu Yunxi nodded meaningfully.
Then he curled his lips again and said, "Shandong is back, you are back from supervising military affairs in Huaixi, and the two uncles Wang from Kaiping in Yanzhou are also on the way. Why are the nearest few people slower than you?"
Then, he clamped his legs on the horse's belly and said, "Drive!"
Guo Ying followed closely behind, but as he rode his horse, he glanced back seemingly casually.
"After eldest brother leaves, I will go back to my hometown!" Guo Ying thought to himself, "The little emperor has grown up and it will be difficult to take care of him in the future!"
~~
A small river flows quietly under the hillside with sparkling waves.
Four eunuchs were carrying the bamboo chair. The old man closed his eyes and swayed slightly.
The six-pound little Fuer held hands, one carrying the fishing rod, and the other carrying a jar of earthworms.
The wind is still very light.
It was morning, and the sunlight was still very soft.
The wind blows and the sun shines, and in the clear water, small fish with long fingers are swimming happily.
"Right here!" the old man said, "There are a lot of fish here!"
The bamboo chair fell down, but the old man's body was still sitting on it. His complexion looked better than yesterday, his thin cheeks were a little red, and his eyes were very bright.
"There are no big fish here!" Liu Jin stood by the river and tilted his head to look.
"Big fish are not delicious, but small fish are good. They are all crispy when fried!" Xiao Fuer pouted and ran to the old man's side, "Daddy, get up and play with me!"
"Haha!" The old man laughed twice and waved his hand, "Wait a minute, Dad, take a break!" After saying that, he turned to Pu Bucheng and said, "Watch them, don't let the fishhook hurt them."
"My slave knows!" After saying that, Pu Bucheng glanced back and whispered, "Old man, the emperor is here!"
The old man turned around on his chair and complained, "I told you not to let him come, but he has to come!"
~~
"My grandson has met Grandpa Huang. How are you today?" Zhu Yunxi squatted beside the old man and said with a smile, "Hey, grandson, you look better today than yesterday!" He said, looking around in surprise,
"Do you think so?"
Everyone around him smiled and nodded, but then Pu Bucheng lowered his head. He was afraid that if he looked up, the emperor would see the sadness in his eyes.
The old man looks good because he has a light blush on his cheeks.
"Have you eaten in the morning?" The old man suddenly looked sideways at Zhu Yunxi.
"Ah! Yes! My grandson ate it!"
"What to eat?"
"Ah..." Zhu Yunxi paused and said with a smile, "It's not like the imperial dining room..."
Snapped!
The old man's hand gently patted Zhu Yunxi's forehead.
"Lie! You just didn't eat!" the old man said displeased, "You even wear the same clothes as yesterday!" He said, patting him again, "If you don't eat in the morning, you will feel uncomfortable all day long. How old are you?
Do you still want us to worry about this for you?"
"My grandson, doesn't he miss you?"
"Oh, you don't want to eat if you miss me. If we die, will you still follow me?" The old man cursed, and suddenly he tilted his head inadvertently, and then grinned silently.
Guo Ying took a few steps forward, squatted next to the old man, pulled up a piece of grass and hung it in his mouth, looking at the river, "I have come to ask for a drink, will you give it to me, Your Majesty?"
"You drunkard!" The old man laughed and scolded, looking back again.
Li Jinglong, who had freshened up and regained his strength, almost gritted his teeth, walked to the old man's side and said with a smile, "I beg for a meal, I miss your meal, can you give me a favor?"
"You bitch, what do you have at home?" the old man scolded.
He cursed and laughed again, "Stay and eat. There is nothing graceful about a meal. If we eat, you will eat it!" Then he cursed again, "My nephew is my uncle's dog."
, leave after eating, your father was just like you back then, he would come to our house to eat and drink, and then leave after eating, damn it!"
With a snap, Li Jinglong turned his head to the side.
He clenched his fists so tightly that his nails dug into his flesh. He calmed down for a moment before turning back with a smile, "When you have some free time, why don't you go sit down at my house and try some of the food at my house?" After saying that, he hurriedly turned around.
He lowered his head, closed his eyes and smiled, "In these years, I have never been filial to you!"
"Well!" The old man looked at him for a long time, "I know!" Then, after thinking for a while, "You have too few men in your family, so you are too weak! Go back and urge your boy to have more sons."
"I'll whip him when we get back and let him give birth as soon as possible!" Li Jinglong said with a smile, "When he is born, will you always give him a name?"
"Okay!" The old man waved his hand, "Everyone, please calm down and stop crowding around us. We won't be able to see our precious grandson and little Fu'er fishing!"
A group of people sat on the ground next to the old man.
Looking quietly at the riverside, the two children were clumsily and impatiently swinging the fishing rods.
~
"Ancestor, I can't catch the fish!" Liu Jin shouted to this side.
"You have to be patient! Patience!" the old man replied, "Nothing is easy in the world, you have to be patient!"
"I... Ancestor, I don't want to go fishing anymore. How about catching fish?" Liujin threw the fishing rod in his hand, "I caught a lot!"
"Yes, catch fish!" Xiao Fu'er also shouted, "He can't catch six pounds, and he won't be able to catch it when it gets dark and he gets hungry!"
"Who says I don't know how to catch fish?"
"Okay, okay!" The old man laughed and pointed to a few eunuchs, "Go down to the river and help the prince catch fish!"
"My grandson suddenly remembered something!" Zhu Yunxi tucked the blanket away from the old man. "That year, when you were recovering from a serious illness, you took your grandson to catch eels and touch snails in the river. Our grandpa ate every meal!"
The old man's eyes were lost in reminiscence, and a smile bloomed on his face, "Yeah!" Then he sighed, "It's so fast, it happened in a flash, as if it was yesterday!"
As he spoke, he added, "Now we are watching your son fishing, and one day in the future, you and Liu Jin will be watching your grandson fishing! Generation after generation, generation after generation!"
Zhu Yunxi did not speak, but leaned his head on the bamboo chair and gently held the old man's right hand with his left hand.
Then, the two men looked at the shouting children on the bank of the river.
"Father! Father!"
In the distance, a shout suddenly came from the distance.
The two men turned around at the same time, and An Wang Zhu Ying came running with a few little brothers, smiling in the wind and sunshine.
"Why don't you call me son when catching fish?" Zhu Nan, the youngest, laughed and ran directly to the old man, raising his head, "Father, I haven't seen you for several days, my son misses you!"
"Why don't you think about it? You think about it with your mouth?" the old man said with a smile.
"I think so!" Zhu Nan pointed to his heart. Just when he was about to continue acting coquettishly with the old man, his body suddenly rose into the air.
"Brother Twenty-Two, put me down!" Zhu Nan was picked up by Zhu Ying, dancing and shouting, "What are you going to do?"
"Let's go!" Zhu Ying shouted with a smile.
With a pop, Zhu Nan was thrown into the river.
"Oh, help me, I don't know how to swim! Father, please help me, Your Majesty... Your Majesty!" He shouted, but he stopped shouting.
A little embarrassed, he stood up in the water. The water only reached his chest and could not drown him at all.
"What nonsense!" the old man scolded with a smile.
Zhu Ying smiled and looked at Zhu Yunxi.
After the latter nodded slightly, he took off his clothes with a few little brothers and jumped into the river like dumplings.
Liu Jin was so angry that he stamped his feet, "Uncle Twenty-two, I just asked someone to remove the net bag..."
When the two men heard this, they burst into laughter.
At this moment, Deng Ping quietly walked up to Zhu Yunxi and whispered, "King Xiang of Chu has arrived at Shuiguan Wharf!"
"What's the matter, sneaky!" the old man asked.
"Uncle Sixth and Uncle Twelve are here!" Zhu Yunxi didn't hide anything from the old man, "Get off the boat immediately!"
Hearing this, the old man lowered his eyes.
After a long while, he said, "You know I'm going to die, so why don't you come to see me alive?"
"No, no, no!" Zhu Yunxi said hurriedly, "This is not... this is not..."
"Where are our other sons?" The old man looked at Zhu Yunxi, "Are they on the way?"
Zhu Yunxi held the old man's hand and nodded.
"Promise us one thing!" The old man looked into Zhu Yunxi's eyes.
"You say!"
"It's such a big deal, let's wait until we're buried. We can't close our eyes if we make trouble in front of our soul!"
