They say it's sick

Chapter 69

Coming from the capital to Pingzhou that day, Yunzhi made many plans and arrangements.In particular, knowing that it would take a lot of effort to find out the evidence that he planned to assassinate Yunji in Li Xuan's territory, he made preparations to stay in Pingzhou for a long time, but he did not expect that Li Xuan would die suddenly.

Although Li Xuan's death was unexpected, arresting Li Liang confirmed from his mouth that Yun Ji's death was indeed arranged by Li Xuan, and the original purpose of the trip to Pingzhou was achieved.As for which great existence in the capital city is behind the scenes, we can only find out slowly.

With things progressing to this point, Yun Zhi became more and more able to calm down.

When I left Youzhou and went south to the capital that day, apart from knowing that there was something hidden about the death of my eldest brother, I didn't have any clues. It's not too far away either.

Coming in this way, there is no rush to return.

After all, Bo Yun is treacherous in the capital city, and many forces have their own ghosts. Although Yunzhi seems to have entered the Suwei Mansion, he is still a "proton". Elbow.

And...the fact that the black hand behind the scenes was able to silence Li Xuan so quickly shows that Yunzhi's actions in the capital may not be foolproof, and maybe all the plans and arrangements have long been under the control of the other party. In this way, there are new plans Before, let alone go back in a hurry.

So Yun Zhi simply took Li Yan, Chen Jin and a few attendants to live in the empty house at the entrance of the village with peace of mind, and only waited for the reply from the person sent to investigate before making any plans.

So I had a rare free time again, as if I went back to the time when I was on the mountain, leaving all the troubles behind, rising at sunrise and resting at sunset every day, or staying in the courtyard with Li Yan Reading books and playing chess, or taking a walk in the fields at the entrance of the village. When the whim comes up, I will try to help in the fields. Sometimes I will go to the mountains and forests with Chen Jin and the others to buy some wild game, and then come back with Li Yan to share with the villagers. .

Yun Zhi still kept in mind what she said earlier, and specially chose a day with high weather and clear weather, prepared many sacrifices according to local customs, and went to the mountains with Li Yan to worship Li Yan's mother.

Autumn is becoming more and more intense, and there are many withered and yellow leaves in the mountains and forests, which fall on the ground to form a thin layer, and they make a rustling sound when stepped on, adding a bit of life to the silent forest.

The autumn scenery will inevitably make people feel decadent, making the already lonely grave even more lonely.Especially the few words on the simple stele, it looks even more desolate.

Li Yan squatted and knelt in front of the grave, first cleared the grave and the yellow leaves on the tombstone to one side, then took out the sacrifices he brought and placed them in front of the grave, and before he could speak, Yun beside him Zhizhi had already found out the fire pocket and lit the joss stick.

"Actually, I don't really believe in these things. Last time I went to pay homage to my elder brother, I was also empty-handed. I always felt that people are dead when they die. These are actually the self-comfort and comfort of the living..." Seeing Li Yan's gaze, Yun Zhi smiled slightly, "But now I feel that if this can comfort the living, what's wrong with it? I haven't died before, so how dare I be sure of the dead I can't get it."

Li Yan also smiled, and then turned his eyes to look at the tombstone in front of him: "Actually, I also thought about whether to stay here after death or to forget the past and reincarnate to start a new life. Later, I thought about it. It doesn't really matter to my mother.

She guarded my father's spiritual seat and spent so many years in Li Xuan's mansion in pain, and death is also a relief.She and my father couldn't stay together when we were alive, but it should be okay when we get down here. "

"I haven't met your mother, but I think that those years in Li Xuan's mansion may not be all pain for her..." Yunzhi said softly, "The country is ruined and the family is destroyed, and after being displaced, you are humiliated by others. It is unbearable for ordinary people to go through it. But she was able to bear the humiliation in Li's house for many years because she had you."

Seeing Li Yan's eyes slowly widen, Yun Zhi's voice became more gentle: "You were young at that time, and the memory of your mother was fuzzy, but as an adult, she can clearly remember the people who depended on you for life. every day.

There was a lot of suffering in the past, and the life of the Li family was really hard, but because of your existence, I don't think it's really unbearable. "

Li Yan felt his eyes slightly sour.

Obviously, he has never been a sentimental, indecisive or weak person, but in front of Yunzhi, he seems to become particularly sentimental.

It may be because this person really knows himself too well, and he can resolve years of knots with just a few words.

"I see..." Li Yan nodded, with a smile on his lips, he took Yunzhi's hand and looked at the tombstone in front of him, "Now don't worry, I'm really doing well now."

They stayed in front of the grave for a while, and didn't talk too much until the incense candles were almost burned, and when it was time to leave, Yun Zhi hooked Li Yan's hand: "Let's kowtow to mother together."

Li Yan turned his head to look at him, and tightly clasped his hands: "Okay..."

The two knelt in front of the grave, and seriously kowtowed three times to the blue sky, the vast land, and the simple solitary grave.

"I've already entrusted the village chief to help clean up the grave after we leave, and offer some sacrifices during festivals..." The morning breeze was cool, and Yun Zhi stretched out her hand to gather Li Yan's cloak, " I also sent a letter to my father yesterday, and when Pingzhou settles down, I will send some reliable people to pick up your mother's bones and go to Youzhou to be buried with your father."

"I..." Li Yan opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.

These are all things that should be done for the Son of Man, but Yun Zhi has already thought of them for him.

"Don't say thank you..." Yunzhi opened the mouth first, "I kowtowed to my mother just now, that's what I should do. And my father respects General Wu a lot, and he will be very willing to help them behind the scenes."

"Don't say thank you..." Li Yan took his hand, "I just think that if the first half of my life was suffering because I met you, then I would be willing."

"How old are you, how did you spend the first half of your life..." Yun Zhi stretched her hand into Li Yan's sleeve, "And it's only been a few days, so you can pretend, you have to live to be seventy or eighty Just to see if I'm still treating you well before saying something like this?"

Li Yan gently stroked Yunzhi's fingers in his sleeve, with a smile in his eyes: "Okay, let's talk about it when we are seventy or eighty."

Because of riding a horse, it only took more than half an hour to return to the village along the mountain path. It was still early, and it was still a while before noon. At the grain drying field at the entrance of the village, people chat while threshing grain and drying grain.

Because of the door-to-door distribution of wild game during this period, Yun Zhi and Li Yan became more and more popular in the village. People came to greet them from afar, and some people took Li Yan by the arm and asked him to go home to pick it up in the morning. eggs.

Li Yan raised his eyes to look at Yun Zhi, but Yun Zhi obviously didn't speak, but Yun Zhi saw a hint of asking for help——

He had always been alienated from others before, and although he was much more peaceful than before, he was still not very willing to deal with such enthusiasm.

Yun Zhi smiled, but she didn't open her mouth to help Li Yan: "It's hard to give up the kindness, or you and Aunt Li go back and get it?"

Li Yan blinked, with puzzlement in his eyes: "Then you..."

Yun Zhi took the reins from him, and pointed to an empty house not far away: "I saw Chen Jin's horse, maybe he came back with news, I'll go back and have a look."

Li Yan raised his eyebrows lightly: "Maybe?"

"Yeah, maybe..." Yun Zhi smiled and pushed him, "Aunt Li is waiting, you can go."

Li Yanshun grabbed his hand and squeezed it lightly, then turned around and walked to the other side of the village with Aunt Li.

Yun Zhi looked at his obviously reluctant back and smiled for a while, then said goodbye to the villagers, led the two horses back to the empty house.

Chen Jin did indeed come back, he was talking to an attendant in the yard, when he saw Yun Zhi leisurely leading two horses in, he glanced behind him: "Where's Li Yan?"

"I just saw Aunt Li at the grain drying ground, and she said she wanted to bring some eggs..." Yun Zhi replied while tying the horse, "Follow."

"Aunt Li?" Chen Jin couldn't help but said, "You actually feel relieved that he will go back with Aunt Li. Have you forgotten that Aunt Li grabbed him and insisted on helping him as a matchmaker?"

"I didn't forget, Xuanzhi would refuse anyway, so what's the matter?" Yunzhi tied up the horse, fetched some water and washed his hands, "And we discussed it that time, if Aunt Li brings up this matter again, we will say Both are engaged, but you haven't, if there is a suitable girl, I can take a look at it for you."

Chen Jin: "It's fine if you two agreed to get married, why do you still want to bring me?"

"Because you don't have one..." Yunzhi said, "Although Aunt Li lives in this small village, there are well-known matchmakers in the nearby villages and towns. Even in Pingzhou City, there are people who ask her to help with matchmaking. What about family matters?"

"It's not that I look down on Aunt Li, it's just that, how do you say that..." Chen Jin scratched his head and thought for a while, "The Xiongnu are still alive, why are they at home?"

Yun Zhi couldn't help but be amazed: "If the teacher who taught you knows that you still remember this sentence, I'm afraid he can't help but come to my father and praise you."

"That's not enough..." Chen Jin glared at the attendant beside him who couldn't help laughing, and raised his chin at Yunzhi, "It's fine for Li Yan to go to Aunt Li's place, and he won't be back for a while, just right I have something to show you."

The smile on Yunzhi's face slowly faded, and she looked up at Chen Jin: "What?"

"Go and find out that the person accompanying the prince has returned..." Chen Jin took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Yunzhi, "You can read it yourself."
