The sun sets to the west, half of the sky is covered with red clouds.
The sunset is infinitely beautiful, but it’s almost dusk.
Woof woof, the dog barked again.
Moo, the buffalo responded.
Cackling, the big rooster stood on the cage with a lively look, looking at its little hens majestically.
Quack quack, a group of ducks are happily paddling in the water.
The old man was still lying there, the night wind blowing his white hair very messy, but not a single silver hair covered his eyes.
"Prince..."
"Princess...."
The eunuchs did not dare to shout loudly, let alone stop them. The two children came to the old man hand in hand.
Then, they seemed to look timidly at the old man lying helplessly with cloudy eyes.
"Old Ancestor!" Liujin called softly, and knelt down beside the old man, stroking the old man's messy hair. "What's wrong with you? You haven't played with your grandson all day, and yesterday you said you wanted to take care of your grandson."
Digging for earthworms and fishing!”
"Ha, I'm tired!" The old man smiled and stroked Liu Jin's forehead with his big hand.
"Father!" Xiao Fu'er curled her lips and climbed on the old man's body.
"Princess..." A young eunuch came to stop her.
"Get out!" the old man scolded, "get away!"
Then he looked at Xiao Fu'er lovingly and said, "Slow down, don't fall down!"
"Father, are you tired?" Xiao Fu'er's white and tender hands touched the old man's cheek.
"Well, dad is tired!"
"Father..."
"Call daddy!"
"Dad, if you eat more later and go to bed early at night, you won't be tired tomorrow!" Xiao Fu'er pressed against the old man's heart.
The old man smiled bitterly, "Dad can't sleep!"
"Then my daughter will sing for you!" After that, Xiao Fu'er sat on the old man, clapped his hands and said, "Fire bugs are flying all over the sky, and they ask me to catch turtles. Turtles have no hair, so they ask me to pick peaches..."
Xiao Fu'er's voice was clear and loud, and the smile on the old man's face became even wider.
"Little yellow dog, you are looking after the house. I went to the backyard to pick cotton! The cotton has not been picked, so the three big brothers came to my house!" Xiao Fu'er tilted his head, "Dad, why don't you close your eyes? You can close your eyes while I sing."
Go to sleep!"
"We don't want to close our eyes now, we just want to listen to you singing!" The old man and Xiao Fu'er said words with Fengyang accent in their mouths.
Xiao Fu'er tilted his head and thought about it, then suddenly smiled and acted coquettishly in the old man's arms, "I want to hear you sing, daddy!"
"Let's sing! Okay!" The old man kissed his daughter's hair, "Then let's sing together. What should we sing? Hmm..."
"Child, don't cry, tell your elder sister about your husband's family!"
Liujin answered with a smile, "Which company are you talking about?"
Xiao Fu'er laughed, "Talking about Toad's house!"
"How does a toad walk? It jumps and jumps!"
"How does a toad talk, croak, croak, croak?"
"Okay, let's come and get married, Laba, Laba!"
"You can set off firecrackers! Puff, puff, puff!"
The old man took his two children and sang with a smile.
And beside him, Pu Bucheng was leaning on his back, crying and listening.
Farther away, Concubine Guo Hui was holding her handkerchief and had already burst into tears.
"Dad, are you going fishing tomorrow?"
"Well, let's go fishing! Let's fry some fish for our little Fu'er!"
"Daddy is so kind!" Xiao Fu'er hugged the old man's face and gave him a sip.
"Old Ancestor, hug me!" Liu Jin was unhappy and started to crawl on the old man's body and gave Xiao Fu'er a kick.
Xiao Fu'er grabbed the six-pound bun and said, "I am your aunt, you hit me?"
"Old Ancestor...He plucking his grandson's hair..."
"Hahaha!"
~~
Boom! Boom!
Horse hooves shattered the night, and the already busy Yi Zhan in Huai'an became even more chaotic.
Countless people, countless horses.
The horses were roaring, the people were cursing, and the arrogant and brave generals in armor were shouting at the postmen as if they wanted to eat people.
At this time, the thunderous sound of horse hooves sounded from the side again, as if the sky had dropped.
The people at the inn who were about to set out were about to collide with another group coming over there.
"People in front get out of here!"
The cavalrymen immediately shouted and rushed over.
"Who are you scolding, Cao?" Among the soldiers who were about to set off, those with a bad temper immediately drew their swords.
"I am Li Jinglong, who are you scolding?"
Suddenly, the surroundings suddenly became quiet.
Under the lights of the inn, Li Jinglong looked like he had emerged from the mud. His eyes were so red that he looked like he was about to eat someone.
The soldier who had just withdrawn half of his saber quickly got into the crowd.
Li Jinglong glanced around, his shriveled lips were covered with blood scabs.
Huhu, huh huh!
The mount under his crotch was spitting out white foam, and its chest was heaving violently. It was obvious that it had reached its limit. If it took one more step, it would immediately die of exhaustion.
"The people are all dead! Give us the horses!" Li Xiaowai lowered his horse and shouted with an eight-step step, "Cao Guogong is busy with military affairs. I'll take your heads if I'm delayed. Hurry up! Horses, water, steamed buns!"
"
"Master!" The post officer of the post station crawled out, knelt in front of Li Jinglong's horse, and said with a mournful face, "There is no horse, there is really no horse! A few days ago, the capital cavalry mobilized a group of fast horses, and today there is another one
I have prepared fast horses for these military masters, but I have no horses left!"
"hiss!"
Li Jinglong's facial features were twisted together, and he got off the horse with air-conditioning in his mouth.
The post officer noticed that the sides of Cao Guogong's breeches were already stained with blood. It seemed that the flesh and blood had already been mixed in the pants.
"Lulu!"
Li Jinglong's horse fell down, kicked its limbs several times, and died.
Snapped!
Li Jinglong whipped the post officer's face, leaving a bloody centipede mark.
"I don't care about you, I won't prepare ten fast horses to come out and take your head in just one cup of tea!"
"Master, you just killed the villain..."
"I'll help you!" Li Jinglong was furious and drew his knife with a swish sound.
"What are you calling?"
Suddenly, a familiar voice sounded.
Li Jinglong looked up and saw a man in a cloak walking out of the post office, surrounded by a group of soldiers.
Then, the man looked up and revealed a familiar face.
"Old Marquis, you..." It was actually Wuding Marquis Guo Ying, and Li Jinglong was speechless.
"Are you going back to Beijing too?" Guo Ying also had a murderous look on his face, his eyebrows knitting together.
"Yes! You...this is also true?" Li Jinglong asked.
"Yeah!" Guo Ying nodded, "I was supervising military affairs in Huai'an when I suddenly heard..." He said, looking at Li Jinglong, "You know better!"
"Master Hou, give me the horse!" Li Jinglong suddenly stepped forward and grabbed Guo Ying's arm.
"I want to go back too, together!" After saying that, Guo Ying turned around and ordered, "Prepare the best horse for Duke Cao Guo!"
After saying that, his eyes fell on Li Jinglong's legs, "Is it okay?"
"I don't need my legs anymore, I have to go back!" Li Jinglong said, his eyes suddenly turned red.
His eyes turned red, and Guo Ying couldn't hold back, "Cao!"
He cursed, stamped his feet, and said loudly, "Cao!"
Then he shouted, "Get on the horse with me and go back to the capital!"
At this moment, who knew that Li Jinglong grabbed Guo Ying again and whispered, "Old Marquis, please keep more horses!" He continued, "King Qi and King Lu are still behind, just in case they want to use them.
....?"
Guo Ying suddenly became furious and muttered, "Damn it, I don't care about anyone with a foreign surname like you!"
Boom!
The sound of horse hooves sounded again, and the night sky shook.
~~
At the same time, on the Yangtze River, several official ships tried their best to move forward in full style.
King Zhu Zhen of Chu stood on the bow of the boat, stamping his feet and shouting, "Hurry up, hurry up!"
He shouted, but still felt that it was too slow, so he turned around and said sharply, "Don't these boatmen have any food? They were all chopped up by me after they docked!"
"Brother Six!" King Zhu Bai of Xiang advised, "It's already the fastest, but it's dark now, so you feel slow!"
"Too slow, too slow!" Zhu Zhen shook his head and said, "I would have ridden a horse if I had known!"
Zhu Bai looked at Zhu Zhen's bloated waist and said in his heart, "If you ride a horse, you won't be able to stand it for a hundred miles!"
He sighed in his heart and continued to persuade, "Don't be anxious. The letter just said that my father is ill and he is still conscious! We, as sons, cannot mess up at this time!"
"Can we stop the chaos?" Zhu Zhen stomped his feet and whispered, "We're late, maybe the emperor will have an attack on us? Hey!"
Suddenly, Zhu Bai was stunned.
It turns out that the first priority in his sixth brother's heart is not the old man's body, but the fear of the emperor dealing with him?

"Your Majesty! You might as well eat some. If anything happens, the civil and military people of the whole court will be counting on you!"
In the Nuan Pavilion of Qianqing Palace, Zhu Gaochi held a bowl of wontons and whispered.
Zhu Yunxi curled up on the couch, his face pale, "If you don't eat, you can't eat!"
"You have to eat even if you can't!" Zhu Gaochi stretched out his hand and pulled Zhu Yunxi up, "You are now the eldest grandson, and you are busy with everything! If you collapse again, will the old man be happy!"
As he said that, he pushed the wontons over and said, "You must eat it! You are now the pillar and the backbone!"
"Hey!" Zhu Yunxi sighed, looking at the wontons and then at Zhu Gaochi.
"I feel sad too, but we... it's not the time to feel sad yet!" Zhu Gaochi choked, "We have to wait..."
"I know!" Zhu Yunxi patted his arm, "I know!"
At this moment, the bastard from outside ran in, "Your Majesty, the general is safe, Jingchuan Hou Cao Zhen is here!"
"Yeah!" Zhu Yunxi nodded.
Sonorous footsteps immediately sounded outside.
There were two pops, and Cao Zhen and Pingan knelt outside the door.
"Your Majesty, the old man..." Ping An seemed to have just cried, his eyes were swollen, and he kowtowed violently, "Let me go and see his old man!"
"Let me, old minister, go and have a look!" Cao Zhen grinned and cried loudly.
