Chapter 26 fourth quarter

Ji's mansion. Two red gauze lanterns hung on the lintel, illuminating the front of the door in a dark red.Ji Ye quietly pushed open the door, glanced left and right, and walked along the base of the wall to the north wing where he lived.I don't know when it started, but it became his habit. He didn't go to the avenue in the middle hall when he entered the house, but walked to his bedroom along a path he stepped on the grass.He wasn't afraid of anything, but he didn't want to look at those faces either. "Ye'er!" A low voice said. Ji Ye was thinking about his own thoughts, suddenly raised his head, and saw Ji Qianzheng standing under the eaves not far away.

"Father." He greeted casually, but he was surprised that his father never waited for him in the middle of the night.Often all three members of the family fell asleep, and Ji Ye went home quietly alone. Before dawn, he went to practice at Daliuying outside the city, and did not see each other all day.Ji Qianzheng had given up hope for this son long ago, and just asked the maid to leave him a door, just like feeding a homeless dog and letting him go. "It's so late, where have you been?" Ji Qian was frowning. "Go for a walk." Ji Ye said lazily. Ji Qian was looking him up and down with contempt: "Eighteen years old! Eighteen years old! When I was eighteen years old, I was already serving in the royal family's young mansion! You are also an officer of the Imperial Army after all. You don't have any dignity at all, but you look like a Wandering bastard!"

Ji Ye didn't speak, but lowered his head.He was already taller than his father, even with his head down, Ji Qianzheng could clearly see his dark eyes.Looking at it, Ji Qianzheng sighed. "Tomorrow we will worship our ancestors! Keep the Tiger Roaring Tooth Spear for me. I need to polish it and oil it." Ji Qianzheng said angrily. "Oh." Ji Ye agreed, and went back to his room to take out Huya. Ji Qianzheng took it away, and glanced at him: "The city is not stable these days, and I will worship the ancestors tomorrow, so don't go out and run around, go to bed early!"

Just as Ji Qian turned around and left, Ji Ye suddenly remembered that August is not a day to worship ancestors.He faintly felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't figure it out. He returned to his room without undressing, laid himself flat on the bed, looked at the roof and sighed.He didn't see Yu Ran for a few days, and even more days when he didn't see Lu Guichen, and it seemed that it was Yu Ran's birthday. According to the previous years, both Lu Guichen and him had to give Yu Ran gifts.Thinking of the three of them sitting together to take out the presents, he felt a lot of annoying things rushing up together, wishing he could fall asleep with his head covered, so he didn't have to worry about it.He sat up and was about to blow out the candle when he saw the letter on the table.Although the Ji family was down and out, it was once a prominent family in the imperial capital. According to the rules of the imperial capital, the maids would accept the letters and deliver them to the table of the head of the family and the princes one by one.As far as Ji Ye remembered, he had never had a letter, but today there were actually two stacked on the table, pressed with a bluestone paperweight.

He picked up two letters, and what was even more surprising was that neither letter was signed. He opened the first one and recognized the familiar handwriting.Yuran's handwriting has always been so crooked.She is familiar with Donglu's characters and languages, but she refuses to put more effort into calligraphy: "Himeno, Asule: Sorry, I have to go.The messenger from my hometown is here, and I know he will always come.I never told you who I am, and I don't think you want to know.I know that one day I will go back to Ningzhou, but I don't know which day it is.Then this day came suddenly.

I didn't tell you because I didn't want to say goodbye.I remember that I didn't tell anyone when I came, I just rode a horse with my grandfather, walked a long way, and arrived.One day I will come back like this, riding a horse with my grandpa, and that's it. I will miss you far away, but I don't want to miss you all the time, so I will be back soon. " The inscription is "Saximore Hibiscus". This signature is very beautiful, because Lu Guichen spent a lot of time teaching Yuran to write these words, and Ji Ye didn't know why Yuran used these words as his own. Every time I asked her about the signature, she always had a mysterious expression, and only said that the name was a secret. Seeing this name, her best friend knew that it was her handwriting.Finally, at the corner of the letter, Yu Ran added a sentence in very small characters: "Ji Ye, please show the letter to Asule, I originally wanted to write two letters, but no matter how I wrote them, they were still two identical letters, so I Decided to write only one, to the two of you."

Himeno read it silently many times, and finally the letter slipped from his hand and landed on the candlelight.A hole was burned just now, Ji Ye rushed to shoot it out, and then he sat on the bed and looked at the swaying crabapple tree outside the window, dumbfounded, like a fool. After a long time, he opened another letter.It's the familiar handwriting again, it's Lu Guichen's delicate and handsome body, personally handed down by Master Lu: "Himeno: Sorry, I have to go.My father passed away, and there was chaos in the northern capital city. The king said that it was time for me to return to the northern land.He also married Princess Fu to me. I should have told you earlier, but I really don't know how to say it.

The emerald ring was what Yuran said she liked, I bought it, and I wanted to give it to her on her birthday, but I was about to leave.You can give it to her, I know she really likes it, she said it many times.Needless to say I bought it and she must be mad at me for not telling her I was getting married. Thank you so much for these years, without you and Yuran, I would be just a little barbarian in Nanhuai City who is ignored. " The signature below is "Asule", and there is something heavy in the envelope.Himeno eagerly turned the envelope upside down, and a green jade ring slipped into his palm.His hands trembled, he held the jade ring and turned it over under the candlelight, so the gloomy emerald green flowed on the table, sometimes overflowing and sometimes disappearing.

Ji Ye felt that he couldn't take it anymore, he rushed to the window and stuck his head out, breathing in the night wind heavily. He couldn't explain why, but felt that his heart was blocked and extremely uncomfortable. Across a wall, the sound of horses' hooves came from the street outside the house, and someone knocked on a clapper.This is an extremely rare thing, Ji Ye is a military officer, and he knows that only when there is an emergency, he will send a fast horse to pass the news across the city.He turned over from the gap in the wall that hadn't been repaired, and saw a sergeant immediately posting a notice on the wall. He leaned over to take a look, and the blood all over his body was cold.

In the very long notice, he only read one sentence clearly: "Lu Guichen, the protégé of the Golden Horde, will be executed tomorrow morning!"
