Attack Jade (攻玉) - Chapter 20

[Chapter 16 (3)]

Lao, now martyred with his body, will surely be famous for the bamboo veil. Outside, it was

reported: “There are people in the palace.” The eunuch dusted the servants: “The

saint heard the bad news of General Teng, wept bitterly in the court, and passed on the message: General Teng is not afraid of the strong, loyal and righteous, life and death, the whole country mourns.” He was given the title of Duke of Jinguo, given to Taifu, and erected a monument to be passed down in the annals of history. General Teng’s daughter ZhenJing Renxiao suddenly lost her temper and took pity on her, and was enfeoffed as the lord of Zhen’an County, enjoying three thousand households. Thanks. After

the eunuch pronounced the holy will, he looked at Teng Shao’s remains and couldn’t bear to say: “General Teng, the saint, in order to comfort the loyal souls, vows to wipe out the gang of thieves lurking in the Beijing Division, and the crusade against Huaixi will not be hindered by this, and when the world returns to its heart, the name of General Teng will be honored in the merit book, so mournful, General Teng should be blinded.” The

soldiers gently put their palms on Teng Shao’s face and moved them away, but Teng Shao’s eyes were still open.

“This, how can this be good.”

“General Teng, this is clearly something that has not yet been wished.”

Cheng Bo looked at Teng Yuyi, understood in his heart, and cried: “The old man is watching the lady being lonely and bitter, so he is reluctant to go, old man, the old slave will desperately protect the mother, you can rest assured to go.”

Duan Fu had not said a word since the incident, when he swung the knife in his palm, his hands were covered in blood, and he held the knife aloft: “Lord, Duan Fu is here, Niangzi An!” The

guards of the Teng Mansion swore an oath with a blood covenant: “The end will be in the future, Niangzi An!”

Teng Yuyi gently stroked his father’s face, and those eyes were still open, as if waiting for an answer.

There was a ringing in her throat, and tears slowly flowed down: “Grandpa.”

Teng Shao quietly looked at the beam.

Teng Yuyi’s tears fell on his father’s cheeks: “Grandpa, I know you can hear, I listen to your words, I will take good care of myself, although I am alone in the future, I will live well, Grandpa, you can go with peace of mind.”

She couldn’t cry, trembling and stroking those eyes, and this time, she finally closed them.

Teng Yuyi cried bitterly and fell on his father’s body, his cheek touched the cold and hard blood mark that had long dried up, the sorrow was infinitely magnified, and the heavy pressure was on his heart, the father and daughter had been in disagreement for too many years, and there were still many words that they did not have time to tell Grandpa, so they left, telling her how to be willing and how to give.

She was afraid that Grandpa would not want to leave, and she did not dare to cry too loudly. But sorrow and despair were like rocks, weighing her breathlessly.

Someone helped Teng Yuyi up, and the memory behind her was blurred, she was like a walking corpse, numbly holding the spirit every day.

Teng Shao’s funeral was carried out according to Lord Yipin, and the temple was opened without the lord of the gods.

The new Zongmiao Temple was located in the south of the city, and the officials and people who came to mourn were endless, during which the prince came, and Teng Yuyi prostrated his head in return.

The crown prince stood quietly in front of her for a long time, and finally took off the jade pendant he carried with him and handed it to Cheng Bo: “The soul of the hero is difficult to find, the orphan is pitiful, the Duke of Jin was my benefactor before he died, and after his death, he was posthumously awarded the title of Taifu, and after the future, When Lady Teng encounters any tricky things, there is no need to worry about it, and immediately send someone to find me.”

Cheng Bo responded with tears.

After Teng Shao was buried, the generals escorted Teng Yuyi back to Teng Mansion.

Fearing that the rebels would come to find Teng Yuyi in trouble, the saint specifically pointed out a team of guards guarding outside teng mansion.

The weather became more and more severe, the battle in Huaixi was fierce, and the western camp was in urgent need of troops, and soon after, all the rebel thieves lurking in the Beijing Division were caught in the net, and the saint ordered them to be killed.

The generals tied up a hundred rebel thieves to the south of the city and beheaded all the thieves in front of the Teng Shao tablet.

As soon as the rebels were removed, the heavens and the earth were cleared, and the people of Chang’an were all happy, and the guards outside the Teng Mansion were finally relieved to evacuate.

That night, Teng Yuyi was sorting out his father’s relics in the study, and Cheng Bo replied outside: “The lord of Jingde County sent someone to deliver the post, inviting you to come to the Chengwang Mansion tomorrow.”

Teng Yuyi was silent for a moment, realizing that it was Ah Zhi, his father had gone this month, and when he heard the name of the Lord of Jingde County, there was a sense of being in a trance.

“Say I’m unwell and push for me.”

Cheng Bo sighed, “Lord Jingde seems to have something urgent, saying that if the lady does not go, she will come to the palace.” Lady, forgive the old slave, after the old man left, you can’t go out all day, the food has not been used well, long suffocated, the body can’t hold up, since the Lord of Jingde County invited, the lady might as well go out and walk around, only when the heart is scattered.

Teng Yuyi put his father’s letter into the box: “Although Grandpa has been buried, there are still many chores to take care of. Moreover, during my period of filial piety, I should have forbidden the silk bamboo play, and returned to the county lord for me, I should not go out in the near future, if the county lord has any urgent matters, invite her to the palace.

Cheng Bo responded, and after a while he turned around: “The internal servant said that he knew, and the county lord was very happy, because ‘she found that person for her brother’, and tomorrow she will come with another person and say that there are some things that need to be verified in front of the mother.””

Teng Yuyi frowned, what does this mean? A headless and brainless sentence.

“Who is the other person that the sheriff can say?”

“The waiter didn’t say.”

Teng Yuyi said; “Tomorrow or so, let people prepare refreshments in advance.”

Cheng Bo replied, “Niangzi, the festival prepared for the old department of the old western camp of the old master has been sent, and General Bai and the others are very grateful, saying that Lady Duomeng will take care of her inner relatives and return triumphantly on another day, and she will definitely come to the door to thank you.”

Teng Yuyi put the books on the table back on the bookshelf: “These soldiers have been with their father for many years, and they are not young, the high-ranking soldiers are just that, the low-ranking soldiers are paid a small salary, they will not worry about themselves when they go out on the expedition, only worry about the relatives who stay in Chang’an, and send some winter clothes and food to the families of these soldiers, and they will walk with peace of mind.” Cheng Bo’s

tears flickered: “If the old master knew that the lady was so deeply aware of the great righteousness, I don’t know how happy he would be.”

Teng Yuyi turned his head to look at him: “Tonight those Xiying guards are gone, those remnants of the remnants heard the news, maybe they came to disturb things, how did they fortify inside and outside the palace?”

Cheng Bo said, “There are three classes inside and outside, a total of sixty people, all of whom are brave men, and when they are sons, they change shifts, and then they change shifts, and Duan Fu and the old slaves stay outside the inner garden, and they dare not slack off for a moment.”

Teng Yuyi nodded, “Cheng Bo, you are also tired these days, there is nothing to do now, you first go to rest.” “The

old slave went to make some of the festivals that would be sent to the provinces tomorrow, and the lady had something to call the old slave.”

Saying that, he covered the door for Teng Yuyi and bowed his head and withdrew.

Teng Yuyi picked up the letters one by one, looked back at the bookshelf, his father did not like to dance and ink, and most of the shelves were soldier books.

She reclassified the clutter, stood in the middle of the room, looked around, and there was a large study, except for the six Tao Sanluo full of bookshelves, the only thing that could be called a pastime was the piano that Ah Niang had left behind.

The body was re-covered with brocade and lay quietly in the middle of the Duobao Pavilion.

Teng Yuyi blinked at the piano, and finally did not hold back, and stepped forward to take it down.

The body is painted with new glaze, and the strings are as flexible as ever, which shows that although my father put it in the study, he rarely took it down and played with it.

Teng Yuyi’s fingers gently plucked the strings, and the tone of the piano poured out from her fingertips, she listened to this music, her eyebrows gradually rose, and finally she still felt the diaphragm, and put the piano back to its original place.The right hand accidentally touches the side of the body, making a slight clucking sound.

Teng Yuyi was stunned, could it be that the wooden planks on this shelf are uneven? Left and right comparison, the body is indeed right high left low, and then touch the layer frame, there is actually some slight sliding feeling.

She turned back and put the piano on the strip, and the probe carefully explored the shelf, and sure enough, she felt a wooden board that could float left and right, and when she did not find the mechanism, she took a dagger from the drawer and pried it along the wooden seam little by little.

Soon she pried it open, and there was indeed a narrow shallow layer at the bottom, and something came out, which turned out to be a pile of letters.

Teng Yuyi’s heart jumped, where did the letter come from, it was actually hidden by his father in such a hidden place.

Moving to the lamp, she borrowed the light to look closely, and the letters were already a little yellowed, obviously some years old.

At the bottom of the first letter, a line is written.

“Wu Mou knocked on”.

Teng Yuyi’s eyes burst into flames, was it Wu Yingying?

But this line is strong and hard, not much like a woman’s handwriting, not to mention if it is Wu Yingying, why do you call yourself Wu Mou?

She was busy opening the letter, and it read: “Since the Nanzhao Kingdom is parted…”

Late at night, the study was extremely silent, she could not read a line, and suddenly there was a scream outside.

Teng Yuyi put his hair on the ground, took the letter back to its original place, walked quickly to the door, and whispered against the door: “Cheng Bo? No

one answered.

Teng Yuyi was extremely surprised, tied the fox fur around his neck, and carefully pushed open the door.

Tonight the wind and snow have stopped, the heavens and the earth are lonely and cold, the moon hangs in the sky, and the dim moonlight sprinkles into the courtyard.

Teng Yuyi stood on the porch and listened intently, she could faintly hear the sound of the sword colliding with the armor piece, she panicked, it seemed that there were really thieves coming to harass, where was Duan Fu?

She whispered, “Duan Fu.” Still

no one responded. Teng Yuyi was inexplicably a little flustered, Duan Fu would never be too far away from her, if she was in the study, he would always stay outside the court.

There was no one in the courtyard, she walked quickly along the veranda outside, no matter what happened outside, it was the best policy to return to the inner garden as soon as possible.

She ran out of the garden gate, and suddenly a dozen or so figures appeared on the ground in front of her, Teng Yu was shocked and shocked, and when she looked back, she found that a group of masked people with strange clothes and decorations appeared on the roof at some point.

Each of them held a knife in his hand, and the blade was as dazzling as a snow wave in the moonlight, and they waved their arms in unison and chased after them from the beams.

Teng Yuyi pulled out his leg and ran, exclaiming as he ran, “Duan Fu! Cheng Bo! The

knives struck each other, the night sky sounded sonorously, and Cheng Bo’s voice came from afar: “Niangzi! Hurry back to the Inner Garden! Teng Yuyi’s

scalp was numb, it turned out that Cheng Bofang had been outside the study, why didn’t he see him when he came out.

She looked back and just happened to see Cheng Bo fall from the wall.

His limbs looked a little twisted, and his hands were far less athletic than usual, just a few words, as if someone had choked his throat and said it.

Teng Yuyi ran a few steps and felt that something was wrong, turned back sharply, and a layer of chills suddenly appeared on his back, the masked people disappeared out of thin air, and Cheng Bo and a dozen guards were fighting hard against the empty courtyard.

“Cheng Bo! There is no one in front of you! Teng Yuyi rushed wildly, while fearing to remind them.

Cheng Bo staggered a few steps, there was no time to turn back, the strange people suddenly rushed out of the slash, Cheng Bo did not even have time to change the move, he was stabbed in the right rib.

He gritted his teeth and pulled a sword flower in his hand, stabbed the strange man in front of him in pain, and when he pulled out his sword, he splashed a large thin mist of blood.

“Let’s go!”

Teng Yuyi’s eyes were hot, and he ran forward lifelessly, what the hell did these people come from, why would they perform such a magic trick!

Cheng Bo was still fighting desperately behind his back, and the sound of fists and flesh hitting each other came from the front, accompanied by a beast-like roar, and suddenly two masked people were thrown far from the corner to Teng Yuyi’s feet.

Duan Fu was covered in blood and rushed towards Teng Yuyi: “Lady! Teng Yuyi kicked

away the masked man at his feet: “These people are prepared, Cheng Bo is seriously injured, has anyone gone out to deliver the letter?” If you can’t kill it for a while and a half, no one in the house will want to leave!

“Cheng Bo just desperately let out two people, and should soon bring people to come.” After speaking, a group of masked people came after him, and Duan Fu did not say a word and clipped Teng Yuyi under his arm socket and quickly fled outside.

“They will have strange skills, most of the guards inside and outside the palace have been attacked, and they seem to be very familiar with the people around the mother, in order to lure the old slave away, they specially found a woman with a similar shape to you to lure the old slave out of the house, and the old slave was almost deceived.”

No wonder when he came out, he didn’t see Duan Fu and Cheng Bo, Teng Yuyi’s heart seemed to come out of his throat: “You killed those few, but you can ask who they were instructed to do, and why did they put me to death?” Duan Fu seemed

to be coughing strongly, and blood flowed down his lips: “I can’t ask, but I should be looking for something, and I will aim at the old master’s study as soon as I come.”

Every time he said a word, his breath weakened a little, and Teng Yuyi’s heart quickly sank: “Duan Fu, where are you hurt?” Duanfu’s

white sideburns were full of beads of sweat: “The old slave may as well do anything.”

Teng Yuyi bit his lip tightly, his father had said that Duanfu’s internal strength was extraordinary, and there were few people who studied martial arts in the world, but even Duanfu was seriously injured, which showed that these people had even designed how to deal with Duanfu in advance.

Duan Fu Teng’s body rose and fell several times, and soon he climbed over the wall of the inner garden, and as long as he passed through the pond in front of the garden, he could escape from the house.

The pond was already frozen, and the light and shadow of the ice reflected a silver moon in the night sky, and a weeping willow in front of the pond, and the branches swayed on the ice.

Duan Fu was injured, his movements were not as light as usual, he climbed the willow tree with Teng Yuyi on his back, and was about to jump on the outer wall, when a person appeared silently in the night, wearing a large dark coat, standing on the outer wall silently.

Duan Fu was taken aback and almost fell to the ground.

Teng Yuyi looked at the man, and a strong uneasiness rose in his heart, this person was tightly covered from head to toe, standing in the moonlight, there was a sense of loneliness.

This person’s internal strength was obviously extremely high, and Lian Duanfu was not aware of it beforehand.

Duan Fu turned his palm into a fist and lightly fluttered towards the man’s chest, Teng Yuyi knew that this was a move commonly used by Duan Fu, pretending to sell a flaw, intending to lure the other party to shoot, as long as the other party received the move, it was bound to be severely damaged.

Duan Fu has made many times and has never lost his hand.

The man stood motionless in the face of the fist wind, but a hand protruded from the cloak, his fingers were slender, and he popped out of the object with lightning speed.

Silver flashed in the moonlight, and a Liman flew in front of him.

Duan Fu swept back with Teng Yuyi, but the dark weapon seemed to have performed some kind of magic, like the wind, and split into two channels out of thin air, Duan Fu only narrowly avoided one of them, and the other one could not be avoided, and was buried in the right side of his neck at once.

The man struck a blow, raised his hand and pulled it gently, and Duanfu snorted heavily, and his head was pulled to the right.

Teng Yuyi couldn’t help but scream, it turned out that the person’s hand was a silver silk thread, which had been buried in the flesh and blood of Duanfu’s neck, as long as he used a force, it would cause Duanfu’s blood vessels to burst and die on the spot.

She rushed straight up with blood: “Who the hell are you!” You let these people under me go, and I can give it to you!” The

man stood high on the courtyard wall and seemed to smile silently.

Teng Yuyi’s teeth trembled uncontrollably: “I know what you want, I found it when I was handling my father’s funeral, this thing is now hidden by me in a zhuangzi in the south of the city, if you want it, as long as you let me and my men go, I will take you to find it immediately.” But if you dare to hurt one of my men again, you will never try to find that thing. The

man slowly raised his hand, Teng Yuyi suddenly felt cold in his heart, this person was not looking for something at all, it was clear that he had come to ask for his life.

The man gathered the silver thread, and it seemed that he was going to solve DuanFu first, and then he would solve her next.

Teng Yuyi had never been so desperate, the silence around him was terrible, Cheng Bo and others did not know whether they were still alive, even if they were still alive, I am afraid that they would be unable to protect themselves.

Saying that it was too late and fast, Duan Fu let out a low roar, forcibly carrying the line to the right side, the sound of flesh and blood tearing in her ears exploded, Teng Yuyi’s face was hot, and a large piece of hot blood splashed on her face.

Her mind was empty, and the man seemed to be taken aback.

The blood on Duan Fu’s neck was still spraying, and his face was instantly submerged in a blood stain.

He couldn’t make a sound anymore, and with his last breath he took Teng Yuyi to climb the wall, not far outside was the street, even if the boundary was set up outside the house, running out could always meet the Wuhou who patrolled the street.

Teng Yuyi was lying on Duan Fu’s thick back, tears pouring down, this old slave obviously could not live, followed her for ten years, and ended up like this.

He had no other way, the strange man was evil, fierce and different from ordinary people, if he did not do this, both people would die at the hands of the strange man.

The man quickly turned back to God, and slowly paced toward this side, his fingers lifted, this time aiming at the other side of Duan Fu’s neck.

“Lady, go…” Duan Fu spat out a few words vaguely, skimmed Teng Yuyi on the wall, and with the last bit of strength, he gave up his body and crashed into the man’s calf.

Teng Yuyi looked at Duan Fu for the last time with sadness and jumped down the wall with tears, but before she fell to the ground, a strong force came from behind her, and the man dragged her back again.

Teng Yuyi grabbed the man with his hand and tried to drag the man down together, but the man strangled Duan Fu on one side and threw her towards the ice pond with the other hand.

She grabbed her hands empty-handed and said sadly, “Who the hell are you?!” With

a thud, Teng Yuyi fell into the pond, and the cold and bone-chilling water choked into the lung tube, making her feel excited, and her heart was like being pinched by someone dead and frozen in the cavity.

Every time she tried to grasp something, she would slip back into the center of the lake because she had lost her center of gravity, and the snow-white fox fur on her body was originally a warm holy relic, but it became a burden in the water.

She struggled desperately, the two people sent out by Cheng Bo should have already sent a letter, maybe someone will come soon, as long as they hold on for a while, there is hope of being saved. She had promised Grandpa that she would live well.

She was sinking and floating in the water, trying to maintain her sanity, her body getting colder and colder, her strength seemed to be drained, and she gradually struggled slowly, and the fox fur seemed to suck up the water, like a huge white wing, supporting her to float in the water.

The ice water was really cold, Teng Yuyi’s consciousness was blurred, and she had returned to her childhood in a trance, and she was lying in ah niang’s arms.

She grabbed it happily, and there was still boundless ice water in her palm, what about the ragdoll? Not even it’s around.

She felt very lonely, really wanted to go to sleep, it was really cold, every pore was emitting cold, her heart seemed to be tired, and the sound of blood flowing in her ears was getting slower and slower.

Suddenly, a strange sound came, like someone fighting on the wall of the courtyard, and the person who came seemed to be very capable, not only was he not secretly calculated, but he knew how to crack the strange man’s magic.

A faint hope lit up in Teng Yuyi’s heart, and in order to arouse the man’s idea, his arm was barely lifted, but only a stroke, and the fox fur seemed to wrap around the water weeds in the pond and drag her down.

The ice water choked into the trachea again, and her heart began to spasm, this time with no strength, and she gasped weakly.

Someone ran toward the pond and jumped into the water, and judging from the man’s athletic skills, he was still a young Man Jun.

It should be a warm-hearted good man, such a cold ice water, he did not hesitate to jump down. The teenager swam so fast that he was about to grab her.

The sky fluttered and sprinkled, and it began to snow again, Teng Yuyi’s eyes became darker and darker, remembering the situation when her grandmother held her in the warm pavilion to see the snow, the sad emotion spread in her chest, how many years, how many years she had not seen the snow with her grandmother.

She swallowed more silently, and huge tears froze in the corners of her eyes.

The surrounding water was surging and the teenager was getting closer and closer to her, and at the moment when he pulled her, she let out the last breath in her chest, and her eyes were fixed in her eyes.
