17. Cailuan burning farmhouse
Next, Gao Yue asked Yun Shao to lead the rest of the family to retreat to the courtyard behind him, with screens curved across three sides. He sat on the mat and Azang sat on the lower head.
"Brother-in-law, I'm here to bring a letter from Wang Fu Mengfu." After Azang finished speaking, he took off his head and took out the hidden wax balls between his towering buns. Then he pulled out the hairpin and pierced it and peeled it open.
Gao Yue stretched out his finger and took out the paper roll exposed inside to spread it. Meng Yu's fly-headed small calligraphy was densely packed with lines. After reading it, Gao Yue quickly put it on the candlelight next to him.
A ball of flame dragged the smoke and ignited it, dyeing the plain silk on the screen yellow, and then disappeared.
"So that's what Prince Pu thought." Gao Yue held his knee.
Azang looked innocent and simple and calm, and looked up at Gao Yue.
"What about King Pu?"
"King Pu just asked me to send a letter from King Meng Fu, saying that I was disguised as a man, pretending to be an official's name, and making it easier to walk on Luogu Road."
Gao Yue smiled and said how could King Pu not have his own ideas?
So Azang paused and told Gao Yue, "Before leaving, King Pu just said that when it comes to family affairs, Azang had to ask his brother-in-law and sister carefully."
"Azang, what family matters are there in the Pu Palace?"
Hearing this, Azang frowned and thought for a while, then shook his head. Prince Pu had no other so-called family plans except playing polo, hunting, and having fun with his wives and concubines.
So she always thought that King Pu’s words were just polite.
But Gao Yue smiled, pointed at Azang with the handle of the fan, and then revealed in a deep voice: "What is the matter in the letter Pu Wangfu you brought is not an imperial family matter!"
As soon as he said this, Azang suddenly realized his mind, "Brother-in-law, can it be that the letter from King Pu who asked me to send Wang Fu Mengfu to the letter is actually secretly?"
"No mistake, Meng Yu's idea actually does not completely represent the idea of Prince Pu."
King Pu, King Pu, on the one hand, you asked Meng Yu to write a letter to contact me, which shows that you still have that desire and ambition in your heart;
But on the other hand, you asked Azang to ask about my attitude, which also shows that you are cautious and afraid.
After all, if you keep a low profile for so long, you don’t want to take a wrong path even if it’s half a step in this treacherous palace.
Because I took the wrong step, the ending was torn to pieces.
Gao Yue touched his beard, thought for a while, then cleared his throat and said to Azang: "You are a child of the Qiang tribe. It is natural to understand that the compromise is natural, so I will tell you clearly some things, just listen and remember. After returning to the capital, I can only tell His Highness Pu, if you return to the capital, if the prince or any other official in the palace, if the concubine asks you, you just say that you can send the letter to Xingyuan Mansion, and you can't let go of anything else, do you know?"
"It's okay, brother-in-law, but it can't be said to be too complicated, otherwise Azang won't remember it."
"It's very simple, just a few words." After saying that, Gao Yue's lips under his beard moved slowly and clearly for a few minutes, and then asked, "Do you understand?"
"Azang understands."
After the secret talk, Azang did not stay in the Xingyuan Mansion's official house. After feeding the horses, she took a bag of shisha cakes and steamed beards from the kitchen yard managed by Acuo, tied them under the saddle. Then, she held the talismans issued by Xingyuan Mansion in her arms, continued to dress up in men's clothes, sticking to fake beards, wrapping her head around, and then hurriedly said goodbye.
Under the flower stand in the official house, Gao Yue quickly called Yun Shao and Yunhe and said to them closely: "There may be a big deal in the capital soon!"
Both sisters were surprised and said that there would be a big invasion of Western Fan before?
Gao Yue just said that this matter is indeed greater than the prevention of autumn every year.
"It won't involve Shengpingfang, right?" The two sisters are both daughters of the Yiguan family and are more sensitive to politics than others.
"I have asked someone to remind me on my father-in-law, and there will be no problem." Gao Yue comforted the two sisters.
Ke Yunhe's eyes were obviously a little red and swollen. Because the passage sung by Wu Cailuan before was too frightened and stimulated her, she had always been in panic about the "copper pillar and iron bed hell" these days.
Gao Yue sighed, and saw that there was no one around, so he brought the sisters into his arms and whispered to them: "Don't believe those words in the text, take good care of Jing'er at home, Da'er and Weiru, I will definitely arrange everything in the future."
Before he could finish his speech, he suddenly heard urgent gongs and drums and shouts coming from the streets outside the military mansion.
"What happened?" Gao Yue hurried to the door.
Soon, Wei Tuotian, who was staying in the outer courtyard house, brought several white grass army generals who ran out of the fangyuan and hurried over and asked Da Yin how to be safe?
Gao Yue nodded and said, "Good and safe."
As soon as he asked, it turned out that it was a sand weir fifteen miles outside the city. Suddenly, a fire broke out and the light surged into the sky. You Yi, who was patrolling night, hurried to report to the city. Now many soldiers and people have run over to put out the fire.
The sand return dam, which is the place where Yunhe gave his first Yuan to Gao Yue.
Now, it is Cailuan Refining Master living there!
"There is no danger to the Master, right?" Gao Yue was immediately anxious and quickly led the soldiers and rode their horses while they were at night, hurried towards the direction of the sand and return to the dam.
When we arrived at the sand and returned to the weir, hundreds of soldiers and the people were holding torches and using keel water wheels to draw water from the pond, filling it with buckets, and extinguishing the burning hall. It seemed that the fire had been extinguished by 60 to 70%, but thick smoke was still everywhere.
"Master, Master!" Gao Yue saw that the hall was his own farm, and thought that Cai Luan Refining lived in it. He couldn't help but worry, so he jumped off his horse and rushed into the fire along the stone bridge.
When the soldiers and soldiers saw that Da Yin was like this, they hurriedly formed a wall of people and stopped Gao Yue, shouting Da Yin to stop him. The houses in the farm have been burned and burned, and the wealth will not be left behind. Da Yin's annual salary is several thousand guan, so it's all right to throw him away.
"What I want to save is not wealth, it is human beings, it is human beings!" Gao Yue shouted, and tears were about to come out of fear.
The scenes of what happened with Cai Luan Refiner were spinning rapidly in front of his eyes.
When I first met Shengyefang, Cai Luan kicked him with a Ju ball and bleeded his mouth and nose;
I remembered Cai Luan while telling him the story of Wu Daozi drawing eggs;
I remembered the scene of Wu Cailuan dancing on the boat in Qujiang at the fare banquet;
I remembered the various pasts of Cailuan that Xue Yaoying told him in Fengtian City.
In my heart, I have long regarded Cai Luan as my sister. A good sister who is greedy for money and cares about me, but she is pure and always caring about me!
"Master, Master, come out for me!" Finally, looking at the flames of the ruins of the farmland, Gao Yue's tears really flowed down and he roared.
At this time, a guy with a dark and rusty face suddenly appeared in the crowd. He blew down and knelt down, bared his white teeth, and cried at him in front of the fire:
"Yi Song, I originally wanted to escape, but I still couldn't. Don't blame me, I was really careless when I was refining the alchemy... I really had no money to pay for this farm!"
