Chapter 259 The night of dawn
In a blink of an eye, it was the night before the military parade on the outskirts of Beijing. The moonlight was like water this night, making it look particularly peaceful and quiet. A breeze blew gently, causing the silk lanterns under the corridor to sway, and the shadows of candlelight spread all over the ground.
"Madam, this-"
Looking at the shocked and slightly complicated eyes of the man in Xuanyi in front of her, Mrs. Li sat there solemnly as usual. She was obviously not angry, but the moment she raised her eyes to look at him, she was carrying the man who did not dare to
The courage to look into the eyes.
He knew it was a warning.
"What, are you unwilling or dare not?"
Faced with such pressure, the man was respectful, even lowered his head cautiously, and said: "Madam, I am just worried that the sword has no eyes and accidentally injures the Taiwei——"
Hearing the man's words, Li's eyes showed no emotion at all. She just raised her eyes and said indifferently: "You should know that this is an order, not a discussion."
After saying that, Li looked down at the person in front of him like a superior, "Since you are Yang Chongyuan's personal guard, you should know the consequences of betraying him. You should also know that if you raise an army for a thousand days and use it for a while,
My Li family secretly sent you to the Yang family, and you have been with Yang Chongyuan for so many years. You shouldn't be raising a useless person who can't do anything."
Upon hearing this sentence, the man's lips clasped together and he did not dare to refute anything.
Indeed, the Taiwei was suspicious, so the Li family carefully trained him and sent him to the Taiwei Mansion. Over the years, they never contacted him or let him take action.
And all this is for tomorrow, the battle that will be decided tomorrow.
Once his identity is exposed, no matter how angry the Taiwei is, he will not do anything to the Li family, but he, a dispensable chess piece, will only die without a burial place.
What's more, Li is still raising his only relative——
In silence, the man clenched his fists with determination and said piously and obediently: "I accept your orders."
"very good."
Looking at the people at his feet, Li reminded: "I want you to do your best. After the thing is done, you don't have to keep those people anymore."
Speaking of this, Li said indifferently: "The money and silk given to them have been placed in a place you know. It is enough to make their families rich and prosperous for a lifetime. It should be enough to exchange one of their lives for the prosperity of the whole family."
After the words fell, Li squinted at the man and his voice was so low that only he and the two of them could hear it.
"So, keep an eye on it and don't leave anyone alive, otherwise I will only ask you."
After finishing speaking, looking at the humbly acknowledging figure in front of her, Li didn't stay any longer and stood up. Yin Niang put on the black cloak for her and walked out step by step.
After arriving at the corridor, looking at the clear breeze and bright moonlight in the courtyard of the house in front of her, Li's eyes had changed at some point.
After enduring it for so long, this scabies heart disease should be cured.
"lady."
Hearing the careful reminder from Yin Niang next to her, Li silently withdrew her gaze and said, "Go back home."
Because he was going to the outskirts of Beijing with Yang Chongyuan for a military parade tomorrow, Yang Jin, who had discussed all matters with Yang Chongyuan, did not walk out of the study until nightfall. When he walked along the road towards his yard, he suddenly felt a scent that was so light that it was almost an illusion.
He couldn't help but froze there, stopping in his tracks.
"Dalang?"
Hearing the voice of the boy next to him, Yang Jin looked at the blooming Sophora japonica not far away, thought for a long time, and finally said: "Let's go see my mother-in-law."
For a moment, the boy was a little surprised, but the next moment he rushed up and followed Yang Jin's footsteps to Cao's yard.
When she heard the report from the maid outside the house, Mrs. Cao was still a little disbelieving. When she saw the tall and upright figure with her own eyes, she burst into tears with excitement.
The night after Zicheng Huan died, the son who was filial and obedient to her words seemed to have left together.
He no longer came to greet her, talk to her, and make her happy as he always did in the morning and dusk. Whenever the mother and son got along, there was always endless silence, which made her feel frightened.
Guwei
She knew that he was blaming her, blaming her for cheating on him, blaming her for killing Cheng Huan——
"I was walking on the road just now and smelled the scent of locust flowers, so I thought of the locust flower cakes here -"
Hearing that her son finally stopped talking to her in a routine and cold manner, Ms. Cao was happy and even excited and said: "Okay, I'll let someone do it. No, no, I'll go, I'll do it for you."
The moment Mr. Cao passed by, he felt his hand being held. When he looked back, he saw that Yang Jin's brows finally showed some of the old look.
"Let them finish, and let my son talk to his mother-in-law."
Hearing that her son was still willing to talk to her, Mrs. Cao quickly agreed. When the maid went down, she looked at her and held her hand tightly, for fear that he would leave.
Yang Jin was touched in his heart and slowly said: "Once upon a time——"
"It's grandma's fault, it's grandma's fault——"
Before Yang Jin could finish speaking, Mrs. Cao had already shed tears. She held Yang Jin's hand tightly and said, "It's my mother who shouldn't have lied to you or made arbitrary decisions. It's my mother who has harmed you. It's all...
My mother-in-law has harmed you. My mother-in-law has already punished that Wen Niang and kicked her out. My mother-in-law will never do that again, and she will never let her provoke you and me again——"
Hearing this cry of sorrow and remorse, I saw my mother, who had always kept her splendor and attention to manners, lowering her head helplessly and fearfully, crying, her features hidden in the shadows, endlessly desolate.
As Yang Jin sighed softly, he held this frail figure in his arms with both hands, just like his mother always held him and protected him when he was a child.
"It's over, everything is over, Auntie."
Feeling the person in his arms crying loudly against his chest, Yang Jin gently stroked her back.
At this moment, Aniang doesn’t know that tomorrow’s Aye and tomorrow’s Yang family will enter a battlefield with unknown ending.
And he must stay with Aye and protect him.
Looking at Mr. Cao in his arms, he knew that although Mr. Cao was greedy for power and status, he was also timid and liked to use small tricks.
Therefore, not many people know about tomorrow, and Aye will not let her know.
It's better not to know, so grandma doesn't have to worry about him.
I hope that the Yang family will not fall tomorrow. I hope that after tomorrow, the Yang family can be reborn.
"Tomorrow when you come back from accompanying the Taiwei to the outskirts of Beijing, my mother will cook for you personally and make sophora flower cakes for you."
After hearing Cao's words, Yang Jin finally relieved himself of the fatigue and care of these days and said with a smile: "Okay."
"By the way, you are now a grown man. As you know, Chao Su, the governor of Xinzhou, is your newest officer. He has been with the officer for half his life and fought many victorious battles. He has a daughter at his knees, named Meiniang.
Yes, I am eighteen this year, and you are——"
"Auntie——"
She was interrupted mid-sentence, and when she looked up, Cao saw a trace of sadness flashing across Yang Jin's brows. She was not angry, but said calmly and helplessly: "It's a national mourning now, and my sister just passed away. Talking about this will make Mrs.
Mrs. Wei is not happy."
Upon hearing Mrs. Li, Mrs. Cao couldn't help but her face stiffened and her eyes rolled uneasily.
Seeing the Cao family like this, Yang Jin knew that from the moment Aye asked Erlang to be crown prince and inherit the family business, she became more and more afraid of the Li family and had more and more plans in her mind.
"Auntie, don't worry, my son will do everything in his power to protect you, just like he protects Aye——"
As he spoke, Yang Jin soothed Cao's back, just like when he was a child, and said in Cao's ear: "In the future, my son will earn a prestigious title with his military exploits and come back. I will take you to beautiful places and have fun."
A place that will stay with you forever."
Hearing Yang Jin's words, Mr. Cao finally smiled. After letting go of his arms, he looked at his increasingly mature, majestic and handsome son and said, "My mother-in-law said that King Yuling is the God of War, and my son will surpass him and become the god of war."
Da Zhou’s unique God of War.”
