The wheels rubbed against the ground, making a piercing scream. The black Audi car rushed through the guardrail, rolled several times in the air, and landed heavily on the ground.
"Xiaoyu, Ningning..."
Blood continued to gush from his forehead, blurring his vision, and all the bones in his body seemed to be falling apart. Tang Ding unbuckled his seat belt and climbed out of the car with great effort.
Strong dizziness hit him in waves, and his last remaining consciousness was the sound of footsteps coming from a distance and the anxious voices of pedestrians.
"Hey, 120? There was a car accident here..."
"At the Huaqing Road overpass, the injured are two adults and one child. The adults have fainted, but the children are fine..."
…
Xijing Hospital, emergency operating room.
"cpr!"
"Everyone stay away!"
"Add a defibrillator!"
"Do it again!"
…
In the operating room, the doctors and nurses were busy and sweating profusely. However, after a burst of fluctuations, the electrocardiogram monitor at the bedside still turned into a straight line and made a long beep.
The surgeon in charge looked up at the electronic display screen, shook his head and said: "The patient died due to ineffective resuscitation. The time of death was 22:48 on September 21, 2018."
The doctor and nurse pushed open the door of the operating room and walked out. The door of the other operating room opened at the same time. The two surgeons looked at each other and both shook their heads.
"Xijing Express reported on the 21st that at around 10pm on September 21, a car accident occurred at the Huaqing Road interchange. Both the car owner and his wife died after unsuccessful rescue efforts. Xijing Express hereby reminds everyone that you need to be careful when driving, cherish life, and do not
Drunk driving and fatigue driving..."
The next day, some citizens in Xijing City saw this news when they were watching the morning news, but they just sighed in their hearts that another family was broken, and then continued their lives.
…
Chen Guo, capital.
The weather was still a bit cold at the beginning of the first month of the first year. Several officials in green shirts stood on the bow of the boat. Each of them wrapped his clothes around his body and couldn't help but sigh: "Although the capital is a place that the world's officials are fascinated by, it can't compare with Jiangnan."
The weather is like spring all year round. If I pass the imperial examination this time, I still hope to return to Jiangnan and serve..."
The other person glanced at him and said: "If I want to take you back, I don't want my lining to be wet all day long and deal with fist-sized cockroaches every day. It's cold in the capital, but warm books can also refresh me...
…”
He took out a book from his arms and sat on the bow of the boat to read. There was only one month left before the provincial examination, and the time for studying was already very tight for them.
Although they are all the best among Jiangnan officials and there is almost no possibility of failing the imperial examination, who doesn't want to make further progress and reach the top three positions.
The young man who lamented the cold climate in the capital had no choice but to get off the bow of the ship and came to the cabin. Just as he was about to continue studying his books, he caught a glimpse of a figure sitting in the corner and asked with some concern: "Tang Ding, are you okay?
"
The figure was silent for a long time before saying in a hoarse voice: "It's okay."
The young man looked at him and saw that he didn't seem to have anything serious, so he went back to reading.
Although several of them are from Jiangnan, Tang Ding has always been taciturn and doesn't like talking to others. He accidentally fell downstairs two days ago and was in a coma for two days. Even the doctor said he would never wake up again, but today he
Suddenly he woke up. There seemed to be nothing wrong with his body, but he became even more taciturn.
When several friends saw this, they were worried that he might get sick from boredom, so they forcefully took him out to swim in the lake. He followed them, but from morning until now, he has only said "it's okay".
The sound of reading could be heard outside and inside the boat. No one noticed that in the corner of the cruise ship, a figure looked confused and kept murmuring in a low voice: "Xiaoyu, Ning'er, how could this happen? How could this happen?"
It will be like this..."
The wind howled outside the boat. There were many small boats like this. No matter how cold the weather was, it could not stop the students' enthusiasm. On the contrary, they regarded the coldness on the lake as a boost to refresh themselves.
The sound of reading was occasionally interspersed with the chatter of students.
"I don't know what will be tested in this year's policy exam. His Majesty has just ascended the throne, and it is said that he attaches great importance to the policy exam."
"Who knows, no one can understand the minds of those examiners."
"It's not that there are no traces. There are only a handful of major events that have happened this year. As long as you list all the test questions that can be derived from those major events and memorize them, you can always hit one."
"That's right. It is said that there has just been a rebellion in the Liang Kingdom. The rebels have captured the imperial city. Guizhou Province borders Jiangnan. The imperial court will definitely be on guard. Do you think the examiners will ask questions on this?"
"I heard that this year's examiner is Bachelor Zhang. His questions are never easy. Students this year should be careful..."
"Unlucky, how could we meet Bachelor Zhang..."
"Be content. No matter who the examiner is, at least there is no powerful person appearing in the same examination. Do you know that young genius from the Fang family? At his age, he will be able to take the imperial examination in three years. If anyone takes the imperial examination in the same year as him,
Tsk tsk..."
"You said that Fang Zhe of the Fang family, even the doctor of the Imperial College admits that his knowledge is not as good as his genius?"
"Who else could it be besides him?"
"Fortunately, if he takes the scientific examination with us, it will be a disaster for all the candidates..."
…
When the students were tired from studying, they began to chat about some gossip and anecdotes. At a certain moment, everyone suddenly heard the sound of "plop" falling into the water, followed by the sound of someone shouting loudly.
"Someone fell into the water!"
"Help, help!"
…
A loud cry for help came from a boat in the middle of the lake, which immediately attracted everyone's attention. Everyone looked over and saw ripples spreading out somewhere in the middle of the lake, but no one was there.
Human life is at stake, and there are few Jiangnan students who don't know how to swim. On the cruise ship, several figures jumped off the boat and swam toward the center of the lake regardless of the freezing coldness of the lake. Not long after, they dragged a drowning person to the lake.
ashore.
Several students from Jiangnan who were rescuing people were shivering in the cold wind, but the young man lying on the ground had a pale face, his eyes were closed, and he had no breathing or pulse.
From time to time, cruise ships would dock, and the people who got off the ship, looking at the young man who drowned, could not help but shake their heads and sigh.
Judging from his appearance, he must be a candidate. He should have had a bright future, but he lost his life in this cold lake.
When everyone was lamenting, a figure pushed through the crowd and squeezed in. He knelt in front of the drowning man, folded his hands, pressed the man's chest and abdomen, pinched his chin, and moved towards his mouth.
Blow into it.
When the onlookers saw this, they were immediately in an uproar.
"What is he doing?"
"Save someone?"
"Is there anyone who can save people like this?"
"How can you save people and do such immoral things in broad daylight..."
…
In the face of everyone's comments, the young man's expression remained unchanged, and he continued his actions calmly over and over again.
"Wow!"
As he pressed, at a certain moment, the body of the drowning student lying on the ground suddenly trembled, and he vomited a large amount of water from his mouth. Although he looked a little embarrassed, he was much better than the motionless appearance just now.
"He was actually saved?"
"Incredible, simply incredible..."
"Oh my god, I actually saw the resurrection of the dead today..."
…
Everyone was talking more enthusiastically than before, but when they wanted to ask the young man who saved the people, they found that he had left at some point.
On the main street of the capital, at a street noodle stall.
The young man, who had not eaten for a whole day and was already very hungry, sat on a bench and said, "Boss, a bowl of noodles."
The noodle stall owner soon brought a steaming bowl of plain noodles. Tang Ding took two bites, and then a man came from the street, walked up to him, bowed and saluted, and said, "Thank you for saving me just now, brother."
."
Tang Ding looked up and saw that although the man who fell into the water just now was still a little pale, he was obviously fine, so he ignored him and continued to eat with his head down.
The young man stood aside in embarrassment and said in less than standard Chinese: "My name is Awahan. I come from the Western Regions. Do you know your surname?"
Tang Ding just lowered his head to eat, as if the person next to him didn't exist.
Avahan's expression became even more awkward, but he still showed a kind smile and said: "Brother, you saved my life. If you need help in the future, just ask..."
Tang Ding said: "There is it now."
Awahan showed joy on his face and asked, "I wonder what brother wants me to do?"
"Stay away from me."
…
Tang Ding finished eating the noodles, stood up, looked at the stall owner, and said, "Check out."
The stall owner looked at him with a smile and said: "Five cents, thank you, sir."
Tang Ding subconsciously touched the hem of his clothes, but did not find the familiar pocket. He touched his waist and cuffs again, but still found nothing.
Although the stall owner still looked at him with a smile, his eyes were already a little wary, and his body moved outward, faintly blocking Tang Ding's path.
A figure walked over from the side, put down a few copper coins on the table, and said, "Brother, I'll treat you to this bowl of noodles."
The stall owner accepted the copper coins and became happy again. Awahan looked at Tang Ding and said with a smile: "It's just a bowl of noodles. Please don't refuse, brother."
Tang Ding glanced at him, sat down on the stool again, looked at the stall owner, and said, "Have another bowl."
Awahan smiled and sat next to him, looked at the stall owner and said: "Two bowls..."
"I'm from Xiaowan in the Western Region, where is my brother from?"
"Brother, are you coming to Beijing to take part in this year's imperial examination?"
"I wonder if you can tell me where my brother lives, so I can bring a gift of thanks tomorrow and come to your door to say thank you..."
…
At the noodle stall, Awahan kept talking, but Tang Ding remained silent. Awahan was about to change the topic, but saw the chopsticks in Tang Ding's hand fall to the ground, and stared at someone blankly.
direction.
He looked along Tang Ding's line of sight and saw several young women walking out of the rouge shop not far ahead, talking and laughing about something.
The next moment, Tang Ding stood up suddenly, almost ran over, hugged one of the beautiful women, and said in a trembling voice: "Xiaoyu, you too..."
"Crack!"
Suddenly being hugged by someone, Qingli woman was startled, pushed him away suddenly, slapped him in the face, and said angrily: "You're a bastard!"
After being molested, the beautiful woman and her companion hurried away, leaving Tang Ding standing alone, looking at the direction they left, as if he had lost his soul.
Awahan looked at him and said with admiration: "It's tall, it's really tall. Although Brother Tang's move is a bit disdainful, it is also very cost-effective. There are many people in the capital who like Miss Tang. You are definitely the first one to hug this beauty..."
…”
Tang Ding looked back from a distance and asked: "Who is she?"
Awahan glanced at him and said: "I can't tell that Brother Tang is hiding so deeply, but do you think I will believe that you don't know the second lady of the Tang family?"
"The second young lady of the Tang family..." Tang Ding nodded and said, "Tell me about her..."
Awahan shook his head and said: "Speaking of the second lady of the Tang family, we have to talk about the Tang family, and the Tang family was a big family that supported Your Majesty and had the merit of following the dragon..."
A trace of sadness appeared on Tang Ding's face, and he murmured: "She doesn't know me, she is not Xiaoyu..."
Awahan looked at him and said in surprise: "What's going on? You really recognized the wrong person. Brother Tang, Brother Tang, hey, Brother Tang, don't leave..."
Tang Mansion.
Today, she was almost cheated by a prostitute, and Tang Yu lost interest in playing. She complained to her sisters and went home early alone.
Thinking of that bastard, although she felt a little angry, she also felt a little confused.
Just as she was escaping in a hurry, she glanced back inexplicably, only to see the disciple standing there blankly. There was no lustful look on his face, but only a kind of frightening sadness——
--That kind of grief, as if she had lost everything, made her heart tighten suddenly, and she is still feeling a little uncomfortable even now.
But soon she stopped laughing, secretly wondering how she could care about such a scornful disciple, and in the blink of an eye she forgot about the matter.
At the same time, in the Tang Mansion, a middle-aged man walked into the study and said to the person standing in front of the window: "These days, the prince and Prince Su's remnant party have become active again. Zhang Heng of the Zhang family, this morning
Assassinated by them."
Tang Huai turned around, looked at Tang Qi, and said, "It seems that although His Majesty has ascended to the throne, his foundation is still unstable and he is still unable to conquer that group of rogues..."
Tang Qi looked at him and said, "We have found out where they are hiding. Why not wipe them out in one fell swoop? Wouldn't it be another great achievement for Your Majesty?"
Tang Huai smiled coldly and asked, "What are the benefits to us by doing this?"
Tang Qi narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "What do you mean, brother?"
"We can help Your Majesty wipe out those rebellious parties, but there is a condition." Tang Huai rubbed his right index finger and thumb and said, "I want Concubine Hui to be the master of the harem..."
Tang Qi frowned and said, "But Queen Xiao is still here..."
Tang Huai lowered his voice and said, "It depends on your Majesty's sincerity..."
Tang Qi said: "What about us now?"
Tang Huai said in a low voice: "Stay still for now and strengthen the security forces around you. If it is not necessary, don't step out of the Tang family. I want to see if those gangsters are capable of attacking the Tang family..."
In a certain inn in the capital, several Jiangnan students looked at Tang Ding and said in surprise: "Brother Tang, you don't want to take the exam?"
Tang Ding said nothing, just nodded.
"Brother Tang, you should think twice!"
"We finally got here..."
"With your knowledge, you will definitely be able to pass high school..."
…
After hearing this, everyone tried to persuade them. They came to the capital from the south of the Yangtze River and fought hard all the way. They defeated countless opponents to get to where they are today. Wouldn't it be a pity if they gave up in vain?
However, Tang Ding seemed to have made up his mind. After everyone took turns to persuade him, he had no choice but to give up.
After all the Jiangnan students exited the room, Tang Ding sat alone in the room, with a trace of memories flashing in his eyes. Awahan walked in from the outside, looked at him in surprise, and asked: "Brother Tang, you are not taking the scientific examination.
?”
Tang Ding glanced at him and said, "If you have nothing to do, don't bother me."
Awahan smiled and said: "I'm here to ask Brother Tang if he can go to the garden party in a few days. It is said that talented people from all over the country will participate..."
Tang Ding said indifferently: "Not interested."
Awahan said: "What if the second lady of the Tang family also goes?"
Tang Ding looked at him and asked: "When?"
…
The garden party held in early spring every year has been a constant event in the capital for many years. In every imperial examination year, talented people from all over the country gather together, and the wealthy ladies in the capital will often put down their figures and come here to show their faces, just in case there is a young man who likes them.
Talent, maybe a good story can be spread.
Earlier, Toshi Yan, the talented man from the capital, had already arrived. As for the wealthy ladies, they had to take their figures into consideration and would arrive a little later.
In a corner of the garden, Awahan looked at Tang Ding and said seriously: "Brother Tang, don't blame me for talking too much. As long as you take the imperial examination and get on the high school list, you have only the slightest chance of being with the second lady of the Tang family.
If you even give up on the imperial examination, you really won’t even have the slightest chance.”
Tang Ding remained silent. Awahan, who always talked a lot, sighed and stopped talking.
At a certain moment, there was some commotion again in the already noisy garden.
Everyone's eyes were uncontrollably looking towards the direction of entering the garden. Just now, news came from the front that the second young lady of the Tang family had arrived.
The Tang family was at the height of its power in the capital. When His Majesty was still the King of Qin, the Tang family did not help the most powerful prince, nor did they help King Su and others. Instead, they chose His Majesty, and supported His Majesty step by step to ascend to the throne, possessing the merit of following the dragon.
The Tang family is the absolute overlord of the capital.
If someone can capture the heart of the second young lady of the Tang family, even if he fails in the imperial examination, he can still have a bright future that even the number one scholar would envy.
There is no doubt that joining the Tang family is the ultimate shortcut to an official career.
However, the Tang family is a wealthy family, and it is impossible for them to take a fancy to these people here. Anyone who can marry the Tang family must be a wealthy family. Everyone in the room can only think about this.
Several women walked slowly under the gaze of everyone. One of them looked at Tang Yu and asked doubtfully: "Xiaoyu, didn't you say you couldn't come out today? Why did you come here suddenly again?"
Tang Yu shook her head and said: "My eldest brother won't let me go out, but I stay at home all day long, even if I'm not sick, I have to wait until I'm sick. I just take this opportunity to come out and get some fresh air..."
The woman smiled, pointed to a pavilion, and said, "Let's go there, it's quieter there..."
Although a few people found a quiet pavilion, some of them still regarded themselves as talented people. They came up to say hello from time to time, trying to win the favor of the beauties, but they all failed.
Not far away, Awahan looked at the pavilion, turned around and said: "Brother Tang, you have to hurry up if you want to take action, you have many opponents..."
Seeing Tang Ding stand up and walk towards the pavilion, he hurriedly added, "Don't be impulsive this time. It's in front of a large audience. Be careful of the impact..."
Tang Yu was sitting in the pavilion, with a somewhat depressed expression on her face.
When she went out today, she originally wanted to take a breather, but she didn't expect that the talented people came up to greet her one after another, which made her a little tired of dealing with it.
"I've met Miss Tang." Another young man came out and saluted her with a smile. Tang Yu returned the salute with a smile, but there was an obvious alienation.
But this young man, unlike the others, saw that she had no intention of talking, so he said goodbye and left. Instead, he looked at her with a smile and said, "I was asked to ask Miss Tang for something."
Tang Yu was slightly startled and asked doubtfully: "What is it?"
The young man took a step forward, reached into his sleeves, and said, "I want your life..."
When Tang Yu clearly saw the dagger in his hand, it was obviously too late. The female companion beside her screamed and fled quickly. Tang Yu watched the dagger stab her chest, her pretty face turned gray.
.
However, the next moment, a figure appeared in front of her.
After all, the dagger did not pierce her chest, but was grabbed by the man.
Blood was like a small stream, constantly flowing from his fingers. The man kicked the assailant off the pavilion, turned to look at her, and asked with concern: "Are you okay?"
"Dengtu..." Tang Yu said subconsciously, then immediately changed her words, looked at his hands, and said in panic: "You, your hands..."
Awahan picked up a brick from the ground, knocked the young man who got up from the ground to the ground, rushed to the pavilion, grabbed Tang Ding's arm, and said loudly: "You don't want to die, go see the doctor quickly."
!”
Tang Yu watched the man being dragged away, and just as she was about to ask something else, the guards in the garden had already hurried over, and several women were surrounding her...
…
Tang Mansion.
Tang Yu was sitting in the small courtyard. When she raised her head, she could only see the square sky above the courtyard.
The government has found out the details of the person who assassinated her that day. The person was a dead soldier of the former crown prince's remnant party. The former crown prince and King Su are dead, but their power has not completely disappeared. They regard your majesty and the new dynasty as mortal enemies. Naturally, the Tang family
Also their enemy.
She didn't care about the fate of the assassin, she cared about the disciple who saved her that day.
In the past few days, she could not help but think about the situation when the assassin's dagger struck, and he stood in front of her, holding the sharp dagger with his hand, and turned around to ask her if she was okay.
…
At that time, she realized that he probably didn't mean to be scornful of her last time, but she slapped him in the face. She wanted to find him, firstly to thank him for saving her life, and secondly to apologize, but that day
After the assassination occurred, she was confined to her home and could not step out.
She was sitting in the yard a little bored. At a certain moment, she heard movement outside the wall. When she looked over, she saw a head poking over the wall.
"Ah, why is it you..."
She was about to call for a guard, but at the last moment she saw the man clearly and couldn't help but exclaimed.
She walked under the courtyard wall, raised her head and asked, "How is your injury?"
Tang Ding waved his gauze-wrapped hand, shook his head and said, "It's a small injury, it's not a problem."
"Thank you for saving me." Tang Yu's voice was full of gratitude, and then she said: "You should leave quickly. If you are discovered by the guards, you will be arrested as an assassin..."
"It's okay." Tang Ding looked back and said, "My people are out in front of you."
Awahan squatted in the corner, looked back at Tang Ding who was lying on the wall, and shook his head helplessly.
Tang Yu stood under the wall and asked doubtfully: "Why did you save me?"
Tang Ding smiled and said, "You can't watch him hurt you."
Tang Yu was about to ask again when two dogs barked suddenly from outside the wall. Tang Ding looked back and said, "Someone is coming. I have to leave. I will come see you tomorrow."
Seeing him jump off the wall, Tang Yu was about to tell him not to come tomorrow, but when her words came to her lips, she turned into "I still don't know what your name is?"
"Tang Ding." A response came from outside the wall, followed by the sound of footsteps getting further away.
Tang Yu walked back to the pavilion, feeling that she was no longer so bored, and began to look forward to tomorrow in her heart.
Later, a disciple named Tang Ding came every day.
Tang Yu no longer felt bored, because every day there were people lying on the wall and telling her stories about things outside the capital. Tang Ding was indeed a talented man from the south of the Yangtze River and very knowledgeable. She had never heard of the things he told her.
Of course, having never left the capital, she also became somewhat fascinated by Jiangnan, which he said was like spring all year round and had pleasant scenery.
Tang Ding was lying on the wall, looking at her and said, "I'll take you to see it when I have the chance."
Tang Yu chuckled in her heart, how could the Tang family allow her to go to a place so far south of the Yangtze River with a poor talented man? Although she knew it was impossible, she still replied, "Okay, you keep your word..."
When she raised her head, there was no one on the wall. She knew he must have left, and shouted to the wall: "Tomorrow is my birthday, can you come over early?"
No one responded outside the wall, and I don't know if he heard it.
Tang Yu walked back to the room and sat on the bedside, with a smile on her face.
The next day, Tang Yu stood in the yard, watching Tang Ding lower a small box from the wall with a rope, and wondered: "What is this?"
Tang Ding said: "Your gift."
Tang Yu opened the box and saw a bunch of bracelets in the box. She came from a wealthy family and could tell at a glance that every jade bracelet in the box was extraordinary. She had only seen it on her sister's hand.
, that was a treasure that entered the palace of a certain country in the Western Regions, and was given to her by His Majesty.
She looked up at Tang Ding and asked in confusion and shock: "Where did you get so many bracelets?"
Tang Ding said: "It was a gift from a friend."
The man standing in the corner twitched his lips when he heard this.
Tang Yu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said: "I can't wear so many by myself."
Tang Ding said: "I was not there for your previous birthdays, so this time I will just make up for the previous ones."
"Who, who asked you to make up for it..." There was an inexplicable ambiguity in this sentence. Tang Yu's face turned red, stamped her feet, and ran towards the room. Halfway through, she turned back and picked up the box.
, turned around and continued running...
Seeing that the door across the courtyard was locked, Tang Ding jumped down from the wall and looked at Awahan. Awahan shook his head repeatedly and said: "Those are tributes to the emperor, and you took them away. I don't have one here."
There aren’t any left…”
Tang Ding patted his shoulder and said, "Thank you..."
Awahan chuckled and said: "If you really want to thank me, just write some poems for me. Xueer insists that I write poems for her. I can't speak Chinese well, so how can I write poems...
"
Tang Ding nodded and asked, "How many songs do you want?"
Awahan said: "One bracelet and one..."
…
In the Tang Mansion, in the boudoir, Tang Yu was playing with a bracelet in her hand, and she couldn't put it down.
A figure walked in from outside. She immediately put away the bracelet, stood up and said, "Brother."
Tang Huai nodded and said, "I received a lot of gifts at home today. Do you want to go out and take a look?"
Tang Yu said: "I'll go out later."
Tang Huai thought for a while and said, "The young master of Prime Minister Cai's family has also arrived. You can go out and meet him."
"I don't see you." Tang Yu shook her head and said, "Cai Qi is not a good person, why did brother want me to see him?"
Tang Huai was silent for a moment and said, "Xiang Cai asked someone to come to propose marriage yesterday, and I have already agreed."
Tang Yu's body trembled and she suddenly raised her head to look at him.
Tang Huai looked away and said: "You also know that the Tang family and the Cai family are the two most powerful families in the court today. Now that His Majesty has just ascended the throne, the remaining parties of the Crown Prince and King Su have not yet been cleared. Only the Tang family and the Cai family have
Only by joining forces can we help His Majesty completely stabilize the situation of the DPRK, which is what His Majesty hopes to see..."
Ignoring Tang Yu's increasingly pale face, he said: "This matter has been decided, you should prepare..."
After saying that, he walked out slowly without looking at Tang Yu again.
…
When a figure appeared again on the wall of Tang Mansion, beside the stone table in the courtyard, a figure had been waiting for a long time.
Tang Ding looked at the pale Tang Yu and asked with concern: "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
Tang Yu turned her head, looked at him blankly, and said, "Take me away."
"good."
As soon as she finished speaking, a voice without any hesitation came from the other side.
Tang Yu's expression was stunned, but she burst into laughter and asked, "I didn't even say what happened..."
Tang Ding smiled and said: "No matter what happens, as long as you want it, I am willing."
Tang Yu rolled her eyes at him and asked, "Are you not going to take the imperial examination?"
Tang Ding shook his head and said, "How can the imperial examination be as important as you?"
…
The Tang family and the Cai family were about to get married, and this incident soon caused huge waves in the capital.
The Tang family and the Cai family are well-deserved giants in the court. There are so many nepotisms and powerful gang members in the two families that they can easily control half of the court.
Logically speaking, as the emperor, he is not willing to see such a marriage between two families, but the current situation in the court is different. His Majesty, who has just ascended the throne, cannot control the entire court at all. He needs to rely on the power of the Tang family and the Cai family.
To suppress some remaining forces in the court, even His Majesty approved of this marriage.
"This is a strong alliance. The Tang family and Cai are getting married. Who else in the court is their opponent?"
"Obviously, His Majesty is finally going to take action against the Crown Prince and King Su's remnants..."
"With Prime Minister Cai's help, those people's death is coming..."
…
Just as everyone in the capital was discussing this, a young official holding a scroll on a small boat somewhere in the middle of the lake snorted coldly and said: "Xiang Cai is just a complete traitor. Sooner or later, I, Han Ming, will
We must kill this beast and return the capital to a bright and clear sky!"
The news about the Tang family and the Cai family spread like wildfire, but within the Tang family, brothers Tang Huai and Tang Qi were very worried.
Tang Qi looked gloomy and said angrily: "Where has the lady gone?"
Several maid servants knelt on the ground and said tremblingly: "No, I don't know. Last night, the lady said she wanted to go to bed early, so she closed the courtyard door..."
Tang Huai looked solemn and said coldly: "Look for her. Even if you search the entire Chen Kingdom, you have to find her for me!"
Royal Palace.
The young emperor who had just succeeded to the throne breathed a sigh of relief and said: "If the Tang family can join forces with the Cai family, I will be more confident..."
The young eunuch stood behind him, smiling and saying nothing.
Chen Huang shook his head again and said: "It's a pity that Tang Yu actually eloped with someone. The Tang family and the Cai family cannot get married. It will be much more difficult to purge those rebellious parties. Wei Jian, do you think I should do it?"
Help them?"
The eunuch came back to his senses and said in surprise: "Ah, what can I help you with?"
"Slave dog, you are not old yet, but your ears are hard to use." Chen Huang scolded him with a smile and said: "Send the order and let the spies in the various states pay attention. Once Tang Yu's whereabouts are discovered, send a message to Tang Yu immediately.
Home……"
The marriage between the Tang family and the Cai family eventually became the biggest joke in the capital because of the escape of the second daughter of the Tang family.
The second young lady of the Tang family ran away for a year, and the Tang family searched for a year. The Tang family and the Cai family also turned against each other because of this matter. There was constant friction during this year, but His Majesty, in this year, used heavy pressure to completely eliminate them.
The prince and Prince Su's gang members came to the court and had absolute control over the entire court.
Tang Mansion.
Tang Qi held a secret letter in his hand, walked into the study, looked at Tang Huai, and said: "We found them. For a year, they actually hid among the Xiaowan envoys and fled all the way to Lingzhou. I'm afraid it will be too late."
Within a few months, they fled to the Western Regions!"
Tang Huai took the secret letter, read it, crumpled it into a ball, looked at an old man behind him, and said, "Bring her back."
Lingzhou, suburbs.
The sky is covered with heavy snow, and a fierce battle is taking place above the snow.
Tang Yu was holding a baby in her arms, and an old man held her wrist. She looked at the figures in front of her and shouted at the top of her lungs: "Let's go, let's go!"
On the snow, several Xiaowan guards were fighting to the death with more than a dozen men in gray, gradually falling into a disadvantage.
Awahan brandished his knife and forced one person back. Blood spilled from the corner of his mouth. He looked back at Tang Ding and said with a smile: "Brother Tang, I'm sorry, you have to see the beautiful scenery of the Western Regions on your own."
Tang Ding stared at him and gritted his teeth and said, "Don't do anything stupid!"
"This is the life I owe you. Now, I am going to accompany my Xue'er..." Awahan showed a smile on his face, took out a square seal from his arms, and threw it to Tang Ding.
, said loudly: "Brother Tang, Xiaowan is left to you, don't let me down!"
After that, he clenched the long knife in his hand, looked at the last few guards, and said sternly: "Protect the king and retreat!"
One of the guards hit Tang Ding on the back of the neck with the handle of his knife, threw him on his horse, and quickly got on his horse. Two men in gray tried to chase him, but one of them forced him back.
Avahan looked at them and hissed: "You bastards, come at me!"
A quarter of an hour later.
The white snow was dyed red with blood. A man in gray looked at the old man at the head and asked: "Butler, do you want to pursue me?"
The old man glanced at Tang Yu, shook his head and said, "Young lady has been found, there is no need to chase her."
He walked slowly towards Tang Yu and said, "Miss, I don't think I want you to go back with a child."
Tang Yu held the baby in her arms tightly and said: "Don't hurt my child, don't hurt my child..."
The old man slashed her neck with a hand knife, took the baby in his arms, handed it to a young man in gray clothes beside him, and said, "It's taken care of."
The young man took the baby, got on his horse, and galloped towards the mountain col in the distance.
At this moment, a man holding a baby girl in his arms walked up to the old man and said, "Butler, there is another child, do you want..."
The old man looked at the baby girl, shook his head and said: "Forget it, she is not the lady's child, the time does not match..."
The man put the baby girl back into the carriage, looked at the mountain col in the distance, and wondered: "Why is he going so far away?"
The old man looked at the corpses on the ground, got on his horse, and said: "It's not suitable to stay here for a long time. Go to the city and wait..."
After the group left, the body was quickly covered by heavy snow. At the foot of the mountain, by a farmland, a young man held a baby in his arms and dismounted. He looked down and saw that the baby's face was turning purple from the cold. He hurriedly
Pulled the swaddle up.
"Third Master asked me to follow you. It was indeed right..." The young man sighed and looked at the village not far away. He gently placed the baby on the field ridge, then got on his horse and galloped towards the fields below.
, trampling back and forth across the snow-covered fields.
Not long after, a figure rushed out of the village and cursed angrily: "You idiot, don't ruin our crops!"
The young man laughed twice and rode away. The man stood on the field ridge with his hands on his hips and cursed. He seemed to hear something in his ears. He took dozens of steps forward with a puzzled expression and looked at the people on the field ridge.
When he was in the snow, his expression changed, and he couldn't help but said in surprise: "Whose kid is this..."
[PS: Tang’s father’s extra story is the most popular, so I wrote this article first, explaining the meeting of Tang Ning’s parents, Tang Ning’s life experience, Tang Shui’s life experience, etc., Tang’s father’s actions in the Western Regions, although there are no details in the text.
I wrote it, but it has been mentioned, so I won’t continue writing it. After all, this extra chapter has already written 10,000 words, and it would be too long to write any more, and it is unnecessary.
I read the comments for the single chapter of the extra chapter. After Tang’s father, Wei Jian has the highest voice. I will arrange it later. The next article I want to write about Su Ru and Tang Ning’s childhood, as well as Zhong Yi and Tang Ning’s childhood.
Yaoyao, etc., the length will not be very long, but I think it is necessary to write. When I wrote about the little scholar and the young man, I adopted the setting of sending my wife at the beginning, but maybe because I am not married, I am not good at it.
Writing about the role of the wife, whether it is Ruyi in the previous book or Zhongyi and Suru in this book, their presence is pitiful compared to other heroines. This is a fact that I have to admit.
Readers have mentioned it countless times, and I have seen it, but this is a matter of ability. I can only abandon this design in future works. An author cannot be good at everything. All I can do is to use strengths and avoid weaknesses, and use the same routine.
I don’t want to repeat it a third time either…
Last but not least, extra chapters are harder to write than imagined. Sometimes the story of one character cannot support a extra chapter, so later I may adopt the method of merging and write several characters in one timeline. In this way, I can
Reducing the number of extra chapters makes it easier to write. After all, new books also require a lot of time to prepare.
It’s very late, so I won’t say much more. If there are any other thoughts I want to share with readers, I’ll talk about them in the next extra chapter.]
