Love Like the Galaxy - Chapter 155
In fact, the prince also thought his father was too dark. When he learned that Zhang Yao intended to sue Huo Busu last month, he planned to quietly put the matter down, and Originally, he did not intend to let his adopted son return to the DPRK earlier, after all, it was not less than a year and a half, so why should he be criticized.
Until he woke up one day, the emperor suddenly heard that Cheng Shaoshang and Yuan Shen were engaged. When he patted his legs and annoyed, he immediately thought of using Zhang to recall his adopted son; When he proposed that he wanted to meet Huo Budo, the thrifty emperor would save Zhang Yaoqingba and save it for later use.
“I was really caught off guard by the Yuan Cheng family’s marriage.” The emperor sighed.
The crown prince responded: “Who said no! These two families are too rash about marriage!” – As if he was not happy when he heard that the Cheng family finally had a groom-in-law.
Shao Shang returned to the Yongan Palace with a sluggish head and a sluggish head, and told the Empress Dowager Xuan about this matter. The Empress Dowager Xuan encouraged her to testify well, and also thoughtfully asked her if she wanted to take a leave of absence for a few days, so that she could calm down. to recall the past.
Shao Shang was speechless for a while, turned his head to look for Yuan Shen, the two sat silently facing each other for a while, Yuan Shen said, “This is the end of the matter, you can’t justify it if you don’t show up, but it depends on how you show up.”
Shao Shang’s eyes lit up, holding his large sleeves and excitedly said: “I think so too! When the time comes, there can’t be too many people in the hall, and you can’t be too rude!”— What is the fear of testifying? I am afraid that the public will be in the public eye, and Yuan Shen’s face will not look good at that time, and he will inevitably have an unforgettable reputation for his old love.
Yuan Shen watched the girl pull her sleeves and dance gently, smiling beautifully. He glared at her with a smile: “I must have been a bug in your stomach in my last life!”
Yuan Shen was delighted and laughed loudly.
After that, Shaoshang went home on leave to prepare a testimony, trying to seek truth from facts without attracting reverie, Yuan Shen went to Tingwei Mansion to visit old man Ji Zun, his tongue was bright for half an hour, and he waited for three In the future, when the young merchant walked into the back hall of Tingwei’s mansion, he only thought that his fiancé was really reliable! – Although the prince is very lost.
Ji Zun emptied the back hall, leaving only two clerks and a few confidants in the hall. The plaintiffs were four village women who were shrewd, and Zhang Yao sat on them with a golden sword. In the front, to show support; the defendant was only Huo Buxuan alone; the three people in the hall sat in the shape of a mountain, from left to right, they were the tiger Ben Zhonglang general Chen Chi, the prince, and the court official Ji Zun.
When Shao Shang walked in slowly, the plaintiff had already finished crying, and one of the women was still mourning: “…watching the tragic death of my father, brother, husband, and son, if it wasn’t for us to escape by chance How can we escape under the pile of firewood! Master Ji, please be the master for us, behead this man with a beast-like heart and show the public!” The remaining three village women cried together.
Chen Chi shook his head, Ji Zun slapped the desk hard and ordered the village women to silence.
Zhang wanted to be triumphant: “Don’t say anything else, ask Li Si to come out and talk about it! Why do you want to be mad and kill innocent villagers!”
The prince said solemnly: “Because the Queen Mother of Huai’an is seriously ill, Zi Sheng came in a hurry, many military affairs have not been handed over yet, Li Si and others are still in the northwest to deal with the aftermath.”
Zhang Yao said: “Then it’s the same as asking Huohou! I’m just asking, uh…” Seeing that the servant brought a beautiful girl in, he couldn’t help but pause his questions.
The prince was dissatisfied with today’s trial environment, and said sarcastically: “Cheng, you are finally here, so you have to wait for the official punishment to come before you come!”
Shao Shang pretended not to hear; she didn’t mean to be late, but Yuan Shen kept chatting with her on the road until it was too late.
Huo Budo has been sitting quietly, his face is indifferent, he doesn’t move about all kinds of accusations, as if he is watching other people’s affairs, then he is startled: “Short…why are you here?”
Shao Shang is serious: “I heard that Junhou was falsely accused, and the concubine came to prove it to tell Junhou that he was innocent.”
Huo Budo was puzzled and looked at the prince, who turned his face away as if nothing had happened.
Ji Zun was too lazy to deal with the lawsuits between the three of them. After letting the young businessman sit down, he said in a straight-forward manner: “Zhang wants you to be calm and don’t be impatient. Although these village women are eloquent in their words, they have a three-day schedule. The lady told this official that Huohou was playing with her in Tugaoshan when the Gushan massacre happened, what do you think?”
Zhang was startled and stared at the girl suspiciously: “Aren’t you Huo’s wife…”
Before the words were finished, Shao Shang cut off: “General Zhang is confused in guarding the mausoleum, the barren mountains and wild mountains have been like a day for several years, but the capital city is changing a thousand times – now I have been with Jiaodong Yuan Shi is engaged!”
Zhang Yao had a look of disdain: “Hmph, one-sided words, who knows if Huo Budo is going to paint the mountains, who knows if you are still broken…” He didn’t finish his words, but in the hall Everyone knew what he meant.
Prince suddenly felt that this was not so hateful.
The maid is a slave of the Huo family, but those eunuchs in charge are from the palace, and they were sent by His Majesty to Huo Hou to take care of the other courtyard! Besides, my third brother Cheng Shao Gong is also there!”
Zhang Yao snorted.
Ji Zun asked: “When did Huohou return to the Panqing camp?”
“Master Huo and I…for three days, we set off in the early morning of October 29th; first we took our brothers and sisters back to the capital, and then he returned to the camp by himself.” Shao Shang was vague in the middle for no reason. a moment.
Ji Zun nodded: “Panqing Camp is two days away from Gushan, and it takes one and a half days from Panqing Camp to go from the capital to Tugao Mountain. On the tenth day, he will return to the camp to resume his orders, and he will judge the merits. Huohou will not be able to catch Gushan to kill Liang and take advantage of the merits. Madam, how do you say what Huohou described…”
“This, this…” A village woman at the head shrank, her face full of horror, her body was like a sieve.
Zhang wants to take a step forward: “You stay in the hot spring courtyard for three days? Huo Wusu will have six or seven days away from the Panqing camp. If he leaves early, he will go around the capital again. Just go straight to Gushan!”
Shao Shang hesitated for a while, then stammered: “…We only stayed in the hot spring courtyard for a day, and then went down the mountain to play.”
“I’ll say it!” Zhang Yao was in high spirits, “Huo Budo only needs to leave one day earlier, and with his horse, he may not be able to catch up!”
Ji Zun said with a sullen face: “Ms. Cheng already said that they were going down the mountain to play and didn’t leave.”
“How can I win the trust with only the three of them present?”
Chen Chi interjected: “My nephew is studying with Cheng Sangongzi, and I heard that he is very sincere.” – I just complained to the master, but he was easy-going and gentle, and got along well.
Zhang wants to be suspicious.
As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at her and Huo Budo, their eyes were either surprised, worried, or secretly delighted.
“However, we met a lot of people along the way! It’s not just my one-sided words!” Shao Shang looked at N shares, and his face that had just retreated made a comeback.
Zhang Yao smiled and said, “Oh, that’s right, then Mrs. Cheng can talk about how the next two days will be.”
“It doesn’t need to go into details; just talk about who has seen Huohou painting around Gaoshan.” Chen Chi is a loyal person and can’t bear to see a girl embarrassed. It is said that in recent years, their Hu Benwei has not rubbed the Yong’an Palace’s dessert pulp and emergency herbs; one time, one of his fellow deputy generals had an affair with the palace maid, and was almost charged with the crime of filthy palace. Fortunately, Shao Shang Help cover up the mess.
“General Chen, don’t talk!” The prince looked solemn and upright, “When things have gotten to this point, there is no need to cover them up, just spread them out and make it clear, lest Zhang ask If you don’t accept it, there are still rumors outside! Mrs. Cheng, please explain the following things carefully!”
Huo Budo looked at him thoughtfully, and the prince turned his face away again.
Zhang Yao was full of confidence, and said loudly: “Yes, you should make it clear! At that time, the weather was getting colder, and the hot springs were the most comfortable, so why do you have to go down the mountain! what!”
Why go down? – Shao Shang and Huo Budo glanced at each other quickly, then staggered.
The world says that the gods will not let the hot springs match the ice brew. Cheng Shaogong’s unreliable goods, I don’t know whether he was dazed by the hot spring or drunk, in short, he was carried into the inner room not long after, and he didn’t wake up until Shaoshang and Huo Budo went down the mountain.
And Huo Budo has been a little sticky since he entered the hot spring courtyard. He said that his old injury was sore from the spring water, and he asked Shao Shang to rub it for him. His neck was sore, and he had to beat him with small fists. What’s more, he also said that he was short of breath and short of breath due to the hot air, and he asked Shaoshang to help him play a fan.
If Shaoshang said that she was also short of breath, short of breath and lack of strength, that would be great, Huo Budo would like to take her out of the water ‘personally’.
After several years, many details are blurred.
Shao Shang only remembers that in the mist of water, the tall, fair-skinned young man leaned on the bench beside the soup pool and looked at himself quietly with a smile. His amber eyes were more intoxicating than wine. The thin satin sackcloth on his body was translucent because it was soaked in water. You could see that the body underneath was tall and strong, with strong muscles. However, there were many scars of different sizes on such a perfect body. She gently Touched, both shy and distressed.
Huo Budo looked sideways at the girl, he also remembered the situation at the time, and remembered it far better than the girl.
He remembered the girl’s pink and sweet fragrance transpired by the warm water, and her misty eyes were flowing, not coquettish; When the girl will be dissatisfied like a kitten purr…
However, the girl was very alert. Seeing that the situation was not right, she immediately realized that the hot springs could not be stayed any longer, and suggested to go to the foot of the mountain to play the next day.
Shao Shang’s face was hot, and he was angry: “I love going down the mountain and I will go down the mountain. You only need to ask the next two days. The reason for going down the mountain is none of your business!”
Zhang Yao was yelled, stunned, and snorted coldly: “Alright, you can go on.”
“We went down the mountain early in the morning, and the sunset advanced to the county town…”
Zhang Yao grinned and laughed: “I have also been to Tugao County, it only takes half a day to go down the mountain and into the city, but you guys actually walked for a full day, hahahaha, Mrs. Cheng, you lied Do it better!”
Chen Chi was helpless: “Zhang Yao, you don’t care how they go, as long as they are in the county town on the third day.”
The prince waved his long arm, and he looked solemn: “Master Chen, don’t interrupt. If you have doubts, you should clarify them one by one. Mr. Cheng, you go on.”
Shao Shang resisted vomiting blood, and said with a stern face: “I twisted my foot, Mr. Huo carried me down the mountain, we stopped and walked, and then we slowed down.”
“Don’t you have a carriage with you, so why do you have to carry it?” Zhang wanted to miss a doubt.
This time, even the old man Ji Zun couldn’t bear it any longer: “the two of them were unmarried couples at that time, how about their behavior? Zhang Yao, don’t make trouble without reason!”
The prince thought to himself: Cheng Shaoshang and Zhang Yao, one is a woman, the other is a villain, the other is rude, and the other must compare each other.
Shao Shang’s earlobes were about to burn, so he refused to look at Huo Budo and said solemnly: “On the way down the mountain, we met two groups of tourists. One group was the family of Lord Zuo Cao, The other group is the family of Master Li, the captain of the city gate, and Master Ji can check it out.”
Ji Zun nodded and rushed to Zhang Yao: “Did you hear?”
Zhang Yao turned his head angrily.
“We only knew there was a lantern festival the next day after we entered the county seat, so we stayed.” Shao Shang took a deep breath, “We settled in the inn that night, and the next day we visited the county seat during the day and watched the lantern festival at night. , set off back to the capital in the early morning of the third day.”
“It’s that simple?” Zhang wanted to squint.
“It’s as simple as that!” Shaoshang said decisively, “If General Zhang doesn’t believe me, I still have witnesses. At the lantern festival that night, we met a short-sighted disciple in the restaurant. It’s not bad, and I gave him a hard lesson. The man was a big family in the neighboring county, and many people in the restaurant that night knew him. Mr. Ji, I will write the name of that man and some famous people in the city at that time to You, you can also check.”
Ji Zun appreciated the girl’s legal spirit and nodded with a smile.
Zhang Yao is still hesitant: “Huohou is by your side, how dare you be rude to you?”
Shao Shang glared at him: “Don’t you have the guts!”
Huo Budo laughed lightly, Shaoshang was unhappy, and rolled his eyes at him—of course he had the guts, because it was not Cheng Shaoshang who was molested by the disciple, but Huo Budo ! That’s why she was especially angry, and she had to beat up the disciple.
Huo Budo lowered his thick eyelashes and gently pressed his heart with one hand, feeling a strong and powerful pulsation there. He felt that the ice block for several years seemed to slowly melt away.
They walked down the mountain for a full day because they saw a colorful cloud-like flower field halfway up the mountain; it was late autumn, and the ordinary flowers had already withered, but the alpine weather was warm, it was No thanks to flowers in winter.
The girl sat among the dense flowers and told him softly that her uncle and aunt were only better than strangers at the beginning of their marriage, but one day, when her uncle took her aunt to climb the mountain to admire the flowers, she clumsily made When she gave a wreath to her wife, Mrs. Sang felt that it was very good to marry this man with a humble mouth and a kind heart. At that time, the flowers were full of air, the sun was warm, and the delicate face of the girl looked hazy and translucent among the flowers, very charming. , watching him dazzled.
The girl said: Her parents are a loving couple, and her uncles and aunts are also loving couples. She has seen them in love, and she is very envious. She hopes to be like this with him in the future – not Like his parents, he became a puppet.
He wanted to say at the time that his parents were not grumbling. His parents fell in love at first sight. After many twists and turns, they became husband and wife. After that, they fell in love with each other and had children. No matter what happened outside, they always had the same heart and got through the difficulties together. If it hadn’t been for Ling Yi’s beast, they would have lived and died in one place, just like Cheng Shi and Cheng Zhi’s two couples.
He has never made a wreath, and has failed several times, the best of which resulted in a sturdy and durable horse ring. The girl just smiled and said that. He didn’t want to forget it, so he ordered his entourage to secretly pick some flowers and plants to hide in the car.
The night he settled in the county town, he groped for tricks all night, used up all the flowers and plants, and finally made a beautiful and elegant wreath; In the dreamy street full of lights, he put a wreath on the girl’s head.
He told her that they would be as loving as her uncle and aunt.
The girl was in tears, and there was a faint pain in her big clear eyes. She said: She has been alone since she was a child, and there are many malicious people around her; but now that she has him, she no longer has to be afraid of a person, right?
He said: Yes, they will live forever and never be apart.
Huo Budo raised his head and saw Shaoshang’s face puffed up, still arguing with Zhang Yao.
Zhang Yao sneered: “…Didn’t you twist your leg, why did you go downstairs and beat that daddy!”
The prince wanted to laugh or not: “Isn’t there Zisheng? I can’t tell, it was Zisheng who carried her down and beat others.”
Chen Chi hurriedly: “Yes yes yes…”
However, the young merchants refused to let it go, and seriously corrected them: “Not all of them. I walked down the last three or four steps of the stairs myself, and there is a big difference!”
Huo Budo couldn’t hold back any longer, he laughed out loud, almost burst into tears.
The suffering is too long, the separation is too deep, he sometimes even wonders why he came to this world, is it just to see his father killed, his mother and siblings hanged in the city head , and then changed his name and surname for more than ten years, painstakingly only for revenge.
He almost forgot himself after the age of five, and he was so happy, beautiful and sweet.
Now, he remembers.
