It was raining heavily. Under the eaves on both sides of the street were crowded with vendors pushing stalls and pedestrians taking shelter from the rain. Occasionally, pedestrians passed by with umbrellas, but soon took their umbrellas away from the shops.

A carriage came slowly from the east end of the street on the rain.

The rain was too heavy, the road was wet and slippery, and the sight was blocked, so the driver did not dare to drive too much.

All of a sudden, there was a rush of carriage behind him. A hundred thousand horses quickly caught up with the carriage, whizzed again, and ran by themselves!

As soon as the second master Jing opened the car window to see whose horse was running so fast, he was splashed with the rain from the horse's hooves.

Second master Jing: "yes."

Jing Er Ye was very angry. He raised his hand to wipe the rain on his face, closed the car window, opened the curtain in front of him and looked at the galloping horse. He recognized it at a glance.

"Well? Brother, look, is that the horse of Tianqiong academy? The crazy one! "

The horse king's battle against heifengqi has become a legend in the bowing circle. Anyone who pays attention to the bowing competition knows that there is a Hummer hanging heifengqi in Tianqiong Academy.

The king sat next to him, looking deeply at the direction of the horse's departure. The horse ran too fast and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

But he still raised his thin fingertips and knocked on the armrest of the wheelchair.

That means it is.

If it's two, it's not.

"Strange, how did that horse come here?" Second master Jing pushed the window open again, put his head out in the rain, and looked back. He didn't see the carriage of Tianqiong Academy. He felt even more strange.

An Guogong raised his hand, touched the cinnabar on the armrest, and wrote a word with trembling fingertips: "chase."

……

It's raining harder and harder. Rao's horse is a first-class foal, but it's not easy to catch up with Ma Wang.

Fortunately, Ma Wang is running and stopping. He seems to be looking for something. The speed is not always fast.

They followed Ma Wang to a lonely street.

"This is..." King's face suddenly changed.

In the past, the most prosperous place in Shengdu was full of traffic, and the people who came to see each day were like crucian carp crossing the river. If every post was paid, they might not be able to get in for ten days and a half months.

But now, this street has already changed.

Dong!

Dong!

Dong!

After the heavy rain in front of us, there were heavy crashing sounds, each of which seemed to hit people's heart.

Second master Jing opened the curtain and looked: "that direction is..."

The black wind king had his head broken and his body bruised.

The horse king saw it from a distance and ran towards it nonstop.

Ma Wang looked at it confusedly, as if he didn't understand why it hit the door.

When Ma Wang saw it hit him, he followed him.

However, the horse king didn't know what the shabby mansion meant to the black wind king. It directly raised its powerful front hooves and was about to trample on the gate locked by the chain.

Who would have expected that the king of black wind should have knocked the king of horse away.

Ma Wang tilted his head and looked at it with a confused face.

The black wind king continued to hit the door with his head and body.

The government's carriage stopped not far away.

Jing Er Ye opens the curtain, and the rain comes on him and an Guogong.

An Guogong kept his eyes on it, and his hand on the armrest was pulling tightly.

Second master Jing also had some mixed feelings in his heart. He looked at the black wind king and said with a frown, "what's the matter with that horse? Is it crazy? You'll die if you hit like this again

The black wind king was seriously injured. The horse king didn't let him hit him. Two horses had a fight.

Just when the two horses were fighting hard, the coachman suddenly called out: "Lord Guo, second Lord! Someone's coming over there! "

It was a young man riding a high horse. He pulled the reins tightly in one hand and held a red tassel gun in the other hand. He rushed in the rain. His whole body was soaked by the rain, and his hair was cluttered on his face. His calm eyes were uninhibited and calm.

He galloped towards the mansion of the Xuanyuan family.

Second master Jing was in a trance.

Is it too much rain or too real fantasy in my mind.

He seemed to see his old brother-in-law come back from the barracks with such a calm and uninhibited manner.

It's on this street, right in front of this mansion.

My brother-in-law got off his horse, went up the steps and opened the gate of the mansion as usual——

The second master Jing held his breath.

He opened his eyes wide. At that moment, he felt that all the tragedies had not happened. When the door was opened, the people inside would come out with a smile.

However, his brother-in-law did not do so. He came to the two horses and stopped them from separating.

Second master Jing wakes up like a dream.

Not my brother-in-law.

no

My brother-in-law is dead. He collected the body for my brother-in-law himself.

He personally put his brother-in-law down from the city wall. His hands trembled when he pulled out the red tassel gun that penetrated his brother-in-law's body.

King turned his head and didn't let elder brother see his red eyes.

An Guogong didn't cry.

His tears had dried up.

After the collapse of the Xuanyuan family, after the loss of his beloved wife, and after Yinyin closed his eyes forever in his arms, he had no more tears.

Jing Er Ye raised his hand and wiped his eyes. He pressed down his throat and choked. He said as usual, "it's Xiao LIULANG."

Of course, anguogong also saw it.

His eyes fell on Gu Jiao.

Gu Jiao holds the red tassel gun in one hand and touches the head of Heifeng king with the other hand. She looks at it calmly.

The black wind king was gradually appeased.

I don't know if it finally realized that its owner, who had been waiting for most of his life, would never come back. It looked up at the dark sky and uttered a shrill cry.

Gu Jiao accompanied it quietly.

Gu Jiao seldom has empathy with others or the outside world.

But at this moment, she lowered her eyes and raised her hand to cover her heart.

"Who is it?"

In the heavy rain, several city guards came. They were reported by the people nearby that some suspicious people had gone to the old site of Xuanyuan's house.

Although the Xuanyuan family has been destroyed, this once bustling street has become a dead street, but the shock caused by the Xuanyuan family to everyone is enduring.

The city guard didn't dare to be careless, so he came to see what happened.

Jing Er Ye quickly dismounts with an umbrella and stops several city guards who are going to go to Gu Jiao.

He showed the government's token and said politely: "my elder brother's horse and I were frightened and came here. There is my bodyguard."

As he said this, he took out a purse from his arms and threw it to the city guard.

The bodyguard guessed the identity of the other party.

"It turned out to be Mr. Jing. It's disrespectful." He didn't believe that the horse of Angou government came here by accident.

He weighed the silver in his hand, laughed with satisfaction, arched his hand and said: "it's really easy to scare the horse because of the heavy rain. Since the second master Jing has found the horse, we'll leave first."

Second master Jing smiles and nods: "walk slowly."

After the bodyguards went out a long way, a companion said, "shall we tell the leader?"

The head of the bodyguard said: "tell the leader what? Brother an Guogong came to remember the Xuanyuan family? When you are in Shengdu, who doesn't know the friendship between an Guogong and Xuanyuan family? At the beginning, the Xuanyuan family's rebellion was defeated, and all the people who had contacts with them could not avoid it, for fear of causing trouble. Only king Shizi's an Guogong ran to the battlefield to collect the corpses for the Xuanyuan family at the risk of beheading. King Erye also went with him, and he was not afraid of death. Do they miss the death of the Xuanyuan family less these years? What can I report to you? "

The companion said: "but just now the boy didn't look like the bodyguard of the Angou government. He still had a red tassel gun in his hand. When I saw it for the first time, I thought it was the ghost of the Xuanyuan family coming back."

"It's all day, what nonsense!" The head of the bodyguard's mouth said that, in fact, his heart was also hairy.

The boy is really a bit strange. He looks like a Xuanyuan family man with a red tassel gun.

But the people of Xuanyuan's family have already died, and they will not really come to avenge.

He shook his head decisively, took out a bag of silver given by second master Jing, and said with a smile, "don't think about it. Let's go. I'll take you to drink!"

The bodyguards completely disappeared in the rain.

Jing Er Ye bypassed two horses and came to Gu Jiao. He asked, "Why are you here?"

Gu Jiaozheng looked up at the plaque of the residence. The plaque was exposed to the sun and rain, and was maliciously damaged. It was already damaged. Under the thick spider web, even the word Xuanyuan was blurred.

"Xiao LIULANG, Xiao LIULANG!" The second master Jing is good at shaking in front of Gu Jiao's eyes.

Gu Jiao looked back and said, "I'm looking for my horse."

Jinger hummed, "you heard that, but you didn't answer on purpose."

"Not on purpose." Gu Jiao said, "I heard it, but I was thinking about it. What you think first, you ask later. "

The implication is that I can't answer you until I finish thinking about it.

I have never seen such a person before

"What's the matter with your horse?" Second master Jing asked, pointing to the black wind king.

Gu Jiao said that she was looking for a horse, but did not say that she was looking for only one horse.

Gu Jiao did not explain that the black wind king was not his own horse. She only shook her head slightly and said, "I don't know."

An Guogong sits on the carriage and looks at the second master Jing talking with Gu Jiao in the rain like a fool. He is so angry that his body is shaking.

Jing Er Ye has an umbrella, but Gu Jiao has none.

Fortunately, second master Jing and his elder brother finally had a good idea. He said to Gu Jiao, "you live in the outer city. It's raining so hard that you can't stop for a while. It's better to take shelter in the carriage."

Gu Jiao turned to look at the coach after the heavy rain.

Sitting in the carriage, an Guogong looked at Gu Jiao for a moment, and his eyes were full of ardent expectations.

Gu Jiao said, "good."

Gu Jiao got into the carriage.

The horse king took the reins of the black wind king, and whether the black wind king was happy or not, he dragged it along.

The carriage drove out of the long dead street, turned right, went through an alley and came to another street. After another walk, it turned into an alley and stopped in front of a farewell yard.

This is a small house which is about the same size as Gu Jiao's and his party's. It's a front yard to go in and a backyard to walk through the main hall. The backyard is connected with a row of back rooms.

Gu Jiao didn't go so far, she just stopped in the corridor of the first row of houses.

She looked at the garden full of lily of the valley, inexplicably felt that this place is a little familiar, as if she had seen it in a dream.

Jing Er Ye moved his elder brother with a wheelchair to the corridor, and the brothers' clothes were a little wet.

Jing Er Ye calls his servant and asks him to take Gu Jiao to the wing room to change her dry clothes.

"Wear my elder brother's clothes, except my elder brother's clothes..." only his sister-in-law's remains.

He didn't dare to touch his sister-in-law's belongings. His elder brother would kill him. What's more, Xiao LIULANG was a man and couldn't wear his sister-in-law's clothes.

The servant found Gu Jiao a set of new clothes that he didn't wear.

Gu Jiao's figure is tall among women, but it is still slightly Petite compared with the height of an Guogong. It is especially like that a child has stolen the clothes of an adult, which is a little cute.

After changing his clothes, Jing Er ye came out of the big brother's room and saw this scene.

He secretly said that when he saw the ghost, he would think the boy was cute.

It's very irritating, OK?

Jing Er ye said angrily, "your horses are in the stable. Don't worry. Someone will feed them. They won't be hungry!"

"Thank you very much." Gu Jiao said thanks.

He was not used to being so polite. His attitude was not fierce immediately. He coughed softly and said, "my elder brother called you to have tea."

Gu Jiao went next door.

Recently, the situation of Guogong has changed a lot. He used to work hard to write a word, but he may not be able to succeed. Now he can write three or five words a day. If he is in a very good condition, he can write seven or eight.

Most of them scolded the second master Jing.

On the experience of having a brother who doesn't smoke.

The wheelchair is wiped and dried. An Guogong sits on an official hat chair. There are chairs on his side and on the opposite side. Without saying a word, Jing Erye sits on the opposite side of his elder brother.

So big brother can see him. He's so smart!

An Guogong's eyes were murderous.

Second master Jing shrinks his neck. Why does Mao feel cool again?

An Guogong can't turn his head, which means he won't see Gu Jiao sitting beside him.

But the stock price did not immediately sit down, but first came to his body, squatted down on one knee for his pulse.

"The pulse is really smoother than before." Gu Jiao said, "the Duke of the country has recovered well."

An Guogong raised his fingertip again. This time, he did not touch it lightly. Instead, he dipped the tea in the cup and wrote down three words tremblingly: "how are you?"

"I'm all right," Gu said

An Guogong trembled and wrote: "black, wind."

This is the limit of his strength, the last stroke of the wind word is only half written, the sweat on his forehead seeps out, flows down his cheek, and slides into his skirt.

"Why? What did my elder brother write? " Second master Jing came to him, "black wind? What black wind? "

Gu Jiao understood that Anguo Gong probably recognized the black wind king. She said, "it's really the black wind king of Han Shizi, but I don't know why it went there."

She is looking for Ma Wang. Meeting Heifeng Wang is unexpected. Who would have thought that Heifeng Wang, who has gone with Han Shizi, would appear in that place again?

"That horse is the king of black wind. It's really..." King Jing murmured with a complicated look.

"What is it?" Gu Jiao asked.

Second master Jing sighed: "how can I say that? You've seen the black wind riding of the Han family, but do you know that the black wind riding didn't belong to the Han family, but was domesticated by the Xuanyuan family? "

"I've heard about it." Gu Jiao said“ After the defeat of the Xuanyuan family, the military power was divided into four parts, and the cavalry returned to the Han family, including a large number of black wind cavalry. "

"You know very well about the state of Yan."

Gu Jiao did not retort.

Second master Jing just teased Gu Jiao, but he didn't think Gu Jiao would have any intention. He then said, "there can only be one black wind king among 30000 black wind riders. All black wind kings of the past dynasties are male horses, only this black wind king is female. It was born with dystocia. It was too stuffy in the womb for a long time. It was almost out of breath after it came out. By the way, it was my brother-in-law and marshal Xuanyuan who delivered it. After the birth, marshal Xuanyuan took it back. So that horse was actually raised by Marshal Xuanyuan himself. "

Gu Jiao asked: "your brother-in-law is..."

Jing Erye said: "cough, my brother's brother-in-law is my brother-in-law! Xuanyuanhao

Gu Jiao murmured and said, "isn't it xuanyuansheng

Jing Er Ye was stunned: "do you even know this?"

Gu Jiao said, "I've heard of it."

No, who are you with? Can you talk about the Xuanyuan family? Are you not afraid of being beheaded?

The second master turned his eyes, thought of something, and said, "speaking of it, the king of black wind is the same age as Yin Yin."

"Yinyin?" Gu Jiao murmurs, this name is inexplicable some familiar, as if also heard in the dream.

Second master Jing didn't know what she was thinking. She only asked questions and explained, "Yinyin is the daughter of my elder brother and sister-in-law. She was born in the same year as Heifeng Wang. When they were two years old, something happened to Xuanyuan's family. The Han family won the war. The king of the country awarded Heifeng Qi to the Han family. Heifeng Wang, who was also a foal, naturally returned to the Han family. Well, in a flash, it's been 15 years. "

So the black wind king went back to find his master today?

After all these years, is it still waiting for its owner to come back?

Gu Jiao was silent for a moment, and then said, "did the Xuanyuan family really rebel?"

There was a strange silence in the room.

Jing Er Ye tensed up and didn't dare to answer.

An Guogong's fingertips were stained with tea, and he wrote a word askew with just recovered strength.

Looking at the word "yes" written by the Duke of the country, it is strange that there are not many accidents in Gu Jiao's heart.

An Guogong still wants to write, but he has no strength.

Looking at his elder brother shaking his hand, the second master said with heartache, "don't write, elder brother. I'll talk about it, I'll talk about it!"

They haven't met the boy several times. It's reasonable that they shouldn't talk so deeply. He doesn't understand. How can elder brother not defend the boy?

Jing Er Ye calmed down and said solemnly: "yes, the Xuanyuan family is rebellious, but the Xuanyuan family is forced, and the main culprit is the national palace!"

"What did the National Palace do?" Gu Jiao asked.

Second master Jing snorted coldly and said: "that bastard national master has made a divination for the Xuanyuan family. He said that the Xuanyuan family has ZIWEIXING '? In order to prove that he was not rebellious, the Xuanyuan family resolutely offered to hand over military power. "

"But not long after the military power was handed over, there was a war at the border. Jin and Liang joined hands to attack Dayan's border. Dayan was attacked from both sides. The monarch didn't use Xuanyuan's family at first. As a result, he suffered several defeats in succession. His morale fell sharply, his morale was unstable, his mountains and rivers were broken, and his city was occupied. As a last resort, the monarch re used the Xuanyuan family. "

"Xuanyuanli led the battle with his eldest son. He first attacked the army of Jin and took back three cities in one go. Xuanyuanli's second younger brother and xuanyuanli's third and fifth sons led their troops to encircle and suppress the army of Liang. The alliance of the two countries, which had been under attack for a long time, was beaten to pieces by the Xuanyuan family. The people at the border were very grateful. When the Xuanyuan family withdrew, the people of the whole city saw each other off along the street. "

"This incident made the monarch fully aware of the strength of the Xuanyuan family and the weight of the Xuanyuan family in the eyes of the people. The birth of Ziwei star to Xuanyuan is not something that Xuanyuan family can stop unless they hand over military power

Gu Jiao said for him, "unless they are all dead."

Master Jing nodded: "that's it. From the day when the Xuanyuan family returned to Beijing, the monarch began to cut the roots of the Xuanyuan family. However, Xuanyuan Li was the elder of the two dynasties, the general of the six kingdoms, and Dayan was able to develop from the lower kingdom to the upper kingdom. Of course, all kinds of measures taken by the National Teacher hall contributed a lot, but how could those who once oppressed the state of Yan be willing to rise? How many battles did Xuanyuan's army fight and how much blood did they shed to stop the ambitions of other countries. It's not the Xuanyuan family that guards the territory. The Dayan Kingdom has been broken and people have died. What else can we talk about going to the kingdom? "

"The Xuanyuan family is so successful that the monarch is afraid, but he can't kill them casually. So the monarch thinks of a way to paralyze the Xuanyuan family first. Empress Xuanyuan gave birth to her royal daughter, and the monarch immediately canonized her as a grand daughter. For more than ten years, the monarch had been very fond of her, and had been responsive to the demands of the Xuanyuan family. The monarch originally wanted to cultivate Xuanyuan family's arrogant temperament, but Xuanyuan family's strict rules, Leng didn't do a special thing

Gu Jiao said: "ordinary extraordinary things can't be judged by Xuanyuan family, can they?"

Second master Jing choked: "cough, that's right."

Gu Jiao murmured and said, "so the monarch doesn't want Xuanyuan family to make mistakes on their own initiative. Instead, he wants the people all over the world to see how he treats Xuanyuan well. One day, once Xuanyuan family betrays him, the people will plead for him."

Second master Jing scratched his head: "ah, is that so? You seem to have a point

Gu Jiao asked: "well, how was the Xuanyuan family forced to rebel?"

Jing Er Ye was silent for a moment, clenched his fist, and said with a complicated look: "I don't know exactly. It seems that it has something to do with tainv. My elder brother knows something about it, but you can see it too. My elder brother can't say anything. "

Gu Jiao thought for a moment, asked: "want to Xuanyuan home accident many people?"

Second master Jing nodded wistfully: "Xuanyuan's power, military power and martial arts are enviable. The Xuanyuan family did not lose the world, but the world lost the Xuanyuan family. "

……

There was no weakening trend in the rain, which was pounding on the eaves.

King said he was hungry and went to the kitchen to find food.

Only Gu Jiao and an Guogong were left in the room.

Gu Jiao moved a small bench and sat beside an Guogong, pressing his arm and palm for him, which helped him recover.

"If you tell me about the Xuanyuan family, aren't you afraid I'll tell you?" Gu Jiao asked.

An Guogong's fingertips click twice on the armrest.

be not afraid of.

Gu Jiao unexpectedly understood.

She rubbed his other hand and said, "why not? We haven't seen each other a few times. I'm very bad. "

The fingertips of an Guogong touched the armrest three times.

You can't?

Gu Jiao pick eyebrow to look at him: "how do you know I won't?"

Anguogong, a little bit.

You, yes, no, you will.

From the first time Gu Jiao hid under his bed, he felt very kind.

I can't say why.

But like the most important person, he came back to him.
