Outside the pavilion, beside the ancient road.
Under the bright sunshine, the people moving forward were filled with sadness.
The formerly majestic and majestic Duke of Liang, Prince Shaobao, and Commander-in-Chief of the Beijing Camp, Lan Yu, no longer had the same respect as before. They were dressed in commoners and walked slowly with the crowd.
He has now been demoted to a commoner, and the huge Lan family has been dismissed. Only his family members are following him. These people are all dressed in commoners, and both men and women carry simple bags and walk on foot.
Surrounding the crowd, hundreds of armored soldiers were on horseback, ordered to take Lan Yu back to his hometown in Huaiyuan and hand him over to the custody of local officials.
There were faint sounds of crying in the team, which made people upset.
"Stop crying!" Lan Chun, Lan Yu's eldest son, scolded, "Leaving one life is a great gift from God. Why are you crying? It's annoying to death!"
"Cry!" Lan Yu sighed, "They feel uncomfortable, and they can feel happy even if they cry twice!"
Saying that, Lan Yu turned back sadly and looked back at the majestic Yingtian City Wall.
The last time he left the capital, he rushed to fight in the northwest frontier. At that time, he led the army to the expedition, and the emperor and the King of Wu personally saw him off at the top of the city. But this time, he was a sinner, being monitored and escorted like a prisoner.
Life is really unpredictable. Heroes and sinners are just a matter of God's will.

Later, Lan Yu touched the gauze on her neck and smiled bitterly.
"At least, I'm still alive!"
Originally, his heart was full of hatred. He even thought about shouting to the sky that God was unfair when he was executed. But after he gained life, those hatreds were gone, and what was left was only sadness and helplessness.
Now, he really understands that sentence, it is better to live than die!
But only he knows that he still has some unwillingness hidden in his heart! He, Lan Yu, is this going to be like this in his life? In his heart, those dreams of riding horses and whips, like Huo Qiaoqi, to achieve unparalleled achievements, have come to an abrupt end.
Yet?
"who?"
The escorting knight gave a loud shout.
Lan Yu looked up and saw a soft sedan slowly approaching on the official road ahead.
Beside the sedan, a man on horseback shouted, "He belongs to the founding father!"
Chang family members? The one riding the horse is his nephew, Chang Sen.
"According to the holy order, escort the prisoners and disperse the rest!" Qianhu, the guard, shouted with a straight face.
"You can do what you can!" The sedan fell down, and Chang Sheng limped out, cursing, "I just handed over my errand in the Beijing camp, and you, a dog, turned your back on me and refused to recognize me?"
The Qianhu quickly dismounted and said with a smile, "Second Master Chang, it's not just a small thing that's entrusting the big one, it's really a very important thing!"
"I know!" Chang Sheng stepped forward with the support of his servants, "I don't have any official position now, why don't I send my uncle off?" With a wink, his family handed over a bulging
burden.
"This?" Qianhu felt his hands were hot.
"A few scattered pieces of silver, brothers, take them to drink on the road!" Chang Sheng said with a smile, "Take it! Look at your courage, who can chop your head off for this little money?" Then he said again,
"I have to trouble my brothers to look after Yi Er on the way. Chang Er has thanked me here!"
Seeing him bowing and saluting, the Qianhu didn't dare to accept it. They turned away and said, "What did the second master say?" He hesitated a little and said, "Second master, if you want to talk to him, I won't stop you. After all,
The laws of nature and human relationships. But people have many eyes and minds, so don’t make it difficult for the small ones!"
"I know!" Chang Sheng smiled, "When you return to Beijing, come to my house for a drink!"
After saying that, with the support of his family, he walked to Lan Yu.
"Uncle!" The Chang brothers prostrated, "My nephew is here to see you off!"
"As long as you have the intention, people shouldn't come!" Lan Yu said solemnly, "If others find out, it's another round of talk!" After saying that, he looked at Chang Sheng, "What's wrong with you?"
"Yesterday at court, the emperor asked about the defense of the capital. My nephew gave an inappropriate answer. He was beaten thirty times and stripped of his official position. Now he is idle at home!" Chang Sheng smiled nonchalantly.
"Haha! You've eaten the trick that opened the city gate!" Lan Yu said with a smile, "Hit me lightly!"
"Had it not been for His Majesty's mediation, I would have died on the spot!" Chang Sheng said with a smile.
He was the one who opened the city gate for Zhu Yunxi to return to the city. No matter what, this matter could not be justified to the old man. The old man lightly hit him a few times and let him go, even if it made him have a long memory. Secretly, he was already burning incense.
Opening the city gate privately is a serious crime. He is the uncle of the emperor's grandson. For anyone else, beating him to death would be a minor crime.
"Third Master, benevolent, you two will help you well!" Lan Yu sighed, looked back at the city head again, and said sadly, "I originally thought that after serving the late prince all his life, he was greatly favored, and he was also an in-law.
I sold my strength to the Third Master, who would have thought... Oh!"
"Uncle, please keep the green mountains here..." Chang Sen said half a sentence, but stopped talking when he saw someone around him.
"This is a little money, uncle, keep it!" Chang Sheng waved his hand again, and the servant gave him a few bags.
"Well, are you worried that you won't have money to spend in the future!?" Lan Yu said with a smile, "Farming? Damn it, I have been fighting all my life. I want to dig people's heads with a hoe, how can I farm?"
"The gold here is a gift from Dingyuan Hou and Jingchuan Hou Te! They wanted to come, but I stopped them and didn't let them give too much. It's enough for you to live on!" Chang Sheng whispered.
Lan Yu patted the heavy baggage and nodded, "Thank you, these old brothers, for me!"
At this moment, smoke and dust suddenly rose in front, and dozens of cavalrymen swarmed over.
Qianhu, the escorting guard, saw the flag and quickly shouted, "Dismount and kneel!"
"Third Master......!" Lan Yu was moved, "He is here?"
It was the troops from the East Palace who came, and the first one was Fu Rang, the son of Fu Youde.
Fu Rang reined in his horse, jumped down, and walked directly to Lan Yu without looking at others, "Liang...Uncle Lan, Your Highness asked me to come and see you!"
With that, he said to Qian Hu, the guard of the army, "The emperor's grandson gave an order to reward five blue jade horses and two carriages for transportation! What do you have to say?"
How could that Qianhu dare to speak? Not only did he have nothing to say, but he solemnly handed over his hand, "I am also a soldier. Although I have a mission, my grandson is benevolent and righteous. Even if someone talks too much afterwards, I will shoulder the responsibility!"
"Yes!" Fu Rang nodded, "Thank you!"
Later, Fu Rang faced Lan Yu and said, "Uncle Lan, there is gold and silver in the carriage, which was rewarded by His Highness. It is enough for your family to chew grain!"
"Thank you, Your Highness!" Lan Yu handed over his hand, "Lanyu can't repay you..."
"His Highness said, the days are long!" Fu Rang said softly.
Just as his blue jade eyes flashed with hope, Fu Rang solemnly bowed down and said, "Uncle Lan said he would never betray his friends and brothers before he was sentenced to prison. Before coming, my father and Song Guogong asked their nephew to kowtow to Uncle Lan.
"After saying that, he kowtowed a few times.
He is the son of Duke Ying. If the Lan Jade case involves his Fu family...
"Lan, I just don't want to shame my conscience!" Lan Yu said, "If it were your father and others, the same thing would happen!"
Fu Rang stood up and whispered, "Uncle Lan, look towards the mountain over there!"
Lan Yu turned her head and was stunned for a moment.
On the hillside in the distance, he saw a man on a horse constantly waving to him.
"Third Master!"
Lan Yu's eyes turned red, and she knelt on the ground, crying loudly, "Third Master, I'm going to go first!"
"Third Master!" The Lan family all cried and prostrated.
On the hillside, Zhu Yunxi wiped his eyes, turned the horse's head, "Let's go!"
Seeing it, Zhu Yunxi's figure walked away and disappeared.
Lan Yu stood up, rubbed her eyes, and said to everyone, "Let's go!" Then, with her head held high and her chest held high, she walked in front of the team.
The Lan family's team set off again, this time with heroic and desolate singing.
"That year, one hundred thousand soldiers and horses came out of Jade Pass......"

Jinyiwei, the governor of Fusi, the imperial edict.
Jiang Wei was curled up in the corner of the cell like a dead dog.
Suddenly, there was a sound of iron chains, Jiang Wei raised his head, and what caught his eye was a pair of bright yellow boots.
"Your Highness?" Jiang Wei raised his head, climbed to the fence like a dog, and cried loudly, "Your Highness, spare your life! Your Highness, spare your life! I have a secret and important matter to report!"
The guards brought a stool to Zhu Yunxi. After he sat down, he looked at Jiang Yu coldly, "Is the confidential matter you mentioned the same thing as Gu thinks?"
"Yes, yes!" Jiang Gu kowtowed, "I can't help myself, someone is instigating me behind my back!"
"Get out!" Zhu Yunxi waved, leaving only Fu Rang. He leaned forward slightly and said to Jiang Yu, "Tell the truth, I will kill you alone! Otherwise..."
