Chapter 311 The crime lies in the present day, the merit lies in the autumn
Chapter 311 The crime lies in the present time, but the merit lies in the future
The atmosphere in the huge house was extremely solemn.
Almost everyone turned their eyes to the young man at the top, waiting for his reply.
Lu Yunyi looked at Apu Lunan quietly and nodded slightly.
They say he is good at arguing, and it seems to be true now.
At least when it comes to the pros and cons of major issues, he has a very clear understanding, which also makes him unmatched in debate.
Xiping Hou Mu Ying's face was grim, and his eyes were filled with murderous intent.
He felt a little regretful at this moment. Why did he reveal the matter of the Dali Kingdom's burning scroll in such a hurry, allowing Apurunan to catch him.
Lu Yunyi had different ideas in his mind.
Apulunan was obviously distracted by the Dali Kingdom's burning scroll.
Therefore, it was believed that the scouts of the front army killed the members of the Youyu tribe because of this painting.
Lu Yunyi felt that this might be an opportunity.
An opportunity to protect oneself, attract attention, and at the same time to make a move.
If this goes well, because of the grievance of Xipinghou's shelter disappearing completely,
Maybe I can find it again and get back into the current emperor's sight.
Thinking of this, Lu Yunyi no longer hesitated.
With a stern look in his eyes, he cast his gaze towards Apurunan and spoke softly:
"The barbarians are not of our race. When they are strong, they will rob and rob. When they are weak, they will be submissive and servile. They do not care about kindness and righteousness. This is their nature."
A flash of joy flashed across Apurunan's eyes.
It was indeed the young man's drive that made him successful, but also ruined him.
Hearing this, it was like yellow mud falling into your crotch, it's shit if not shit.
Some experienced generals present could not help but frown.
I sighed in my heart, I've fallen into the trap.
Mu Ying, on the other hand, kept his eyes fixed on Lu Yunyi.
In his opinion, the purpose of taking over the conversation was to link the killing of prisoners of war to cover up the chaos in the country to the killing of prisoners of war due to the "Dali Kingdom Burning Scroll".
This moved him and he couldn't help but narrow his eyes.
He couldn't help but be happy that such a young hero made such a sacrifice for the country.
The last trace of worry in my heart disappeared without a trace in an instant, and turned into relief.
Fortunately, this boy is my, Mu Ying’s, son-in-law.
In a flash, everyone present had mixed feelings.
I don’t know how many thoughts flashed through my mind and what calculations I had.
Aplunan took another step forward and spoke loudly:
"This is what Wei Zheng, a famous official in the Tang Dynasty, said.
But! The Youyu tribe is their barbarian tribe, and they are my people. What does it matter if we kill them?
General Lu's killings were a way for the Dali Kingdom to recover the cost of the war?"
Lu Yunyi smiled faintly, and did not answer directly, but spoke bluntly:
"Those who are not of my race must have different hearts.
If I could lead the army again, I would let Luchuan bleed for three hundred miles to punish you for your disloyalty."
As soon as these words came out, everyone present suddenly realized.
It turned out that the front army scouts retreated hastily because of this incident.
Apulunan's eyes sparkled as he spoke word by word:
"General Lu, killing the prisoners once is not enough, do you want to kill them a second time?"
Many people clenched their fists under the table.
Faced with such an obvious trap, what would he do?
Lu Yunyi did not answer directly, but turned around and quickly wrote a line of words on the literacy board.
[If you don’t join the banquet table, you will be listed on the menu.]
Lu Yunyi looked at Apu Lunan and said in a deep voice:
"The Luchuan country can kill their comrades, but I can't?"
Then he looked at everyone present:
"Everyone, Luchuan has already killed his comrade to show his determination.
If I don’t give up my illusions and prepare to fight, I’m afraid I’ll become a dish on the table.”
The atmosphere froze again, and even the young people present understood and frowned to the extreme.
Lu Yunyi looked at Apu Lunan:
"I can also kill those whom your king Silunfa killed.
When the envoy Apurunan returns, he can tell the Lord of Silunfa,
If he can't bring himself to do it, you can inform me, and I will lead the army to kill him."
As he spoke, Lu Yunyi smiled and spoke in a gentle voice.
But for some reason, everyone felt cold, especially the young people, who had fear in their eyes.
"I will not show mercy. I will kill as many as you can. I am willing to bear the infamy for the rest of my life and eliminate the threat to the southwest forever!"
"This action is a sin in this generation, but a merit for generations to come!"
"Future generations will judge for themselves."
The huge house fell into dead silence.
For some reason, Apurunan felt that something was wrong.
He glanced around and saw passion in the eyes of the many young people present.
There was no expected emotion such as disgust or fear, but instead some eagerness to try?
This made him extremely confused.
The next moment, Xiping Hou Mu Ying stood up quietly without saying anything.
He just walked to the front of the stage, stopped in front of Lu Yunyi, and stared at him quietly.
Finally, in front of everyone's surprised gaze, Mu Ying raised his hand.
He patted Lu Yunyi's shoulders twice, then turned and left.
Apu Lunan frowned.
He had been in the Ming Dynasty for a long time and knew that such actions were a sign of approval from the superior to the subordinate.
Could it be that the Marquis of Xiping did not intend to pursue the matter? Was he really determined to protect his son-in-law?
The many adults present also had deep eyes and a lot of thoughts in their minds.
Every move of a big shot has a deep meaning, let alone the Marquis of Xiping who dominates the southwest.
They think they should think carefully about whether they agree with this move or just take their own course.
Especially when she saw the burning fire in her son's eyes, she couldn't help but feel a headache.
If someone else were to make such violent remarks, they would certainly applaud loudly.
But if one's own descendants were to do it, it would definitely not be possible!
They had extremely complicated feelings towards Lu Yunyi.
It can intimidate these generals and deceive these young people.
They had never seen such a young man before.
Good, excellent!
At this moment, Mu Chuting, who had been silent all this time, stood up gently.
Looking at the many generals and young people present, a smile appeared on his face, and his voice was calm and firm:
"Uncles and aunts, tomorrow is Chu Ting's wedding day. Chu Ting would like to thank all uncles and aunts for their hard work."
"And all the brothers and sisters, Chu Ting would like to thank you here as well."
The class at the martial arts hall ended in silence, and Apu Lunan left first.
He didn't even return to his residence, but left Kunming city on horseback!
Many generals present also returned to the government offices and the army to take care of today's work.
Many young people wanted to stay and experience it more, but were pulled away by the adults in their families.
Some young people who were originally in the martial arts hall were also taken away by the officials here and did not even stay in the training ground.
After an unknown amount of time, Lu Yunyi and Mu Chuting were the only ones left in the huge house.
Lu Yunyi sat quietly at the top, holding his forehead with one hand, his eyes closed, weighing the pros and cons without thinking.
When Mu Chuting saw him like this,
I couldn't help but pursed my lips, walked over to his side,
Without saying anything, she just stood behind him and gently massaged his shoulders.
Time passed by little by little, as the sun rose,
The news that the third daughter of Xiping Marquis's mansion would be getting married tomorrow also began to spread widely in Kunming City.
Some people had said before that it couldn't be that fast.
But as people from Xiping Marquis' Mansion appeared frequently on various roads in the afternoon, everyone began to believe it.
Three streets away from Xipinghou Mansion,
Big red lanterns with the word "喜" were hung on the houses, and the word "喜" and red paper were pasted on the ground and doors.
What makes people jealous is that all the merchants and people who hang lanterns and paste wedding characters,
The Xiping Marquis's Mansion gave five taels of silver as a wedding gift.
This made many people who were still holding on in their hearts completely give up the idea.
At this moment, some scholars and young talents in Kunming City couldn't help but let out a wail in their hearts.
The news that the third daughter of Marquis Xiping's mansion had not yet married had been circulating for several years.
This made some young talents, especially those in the military, feel that there was still a chance.
If I could marry the third lady, it would be a step to heaven.
Today, many people secretly bowed their heads and sighed, wondering in their hearts which toad got the advantage.
Soon, the news of the married couple was spread by some well-informed people, which made people even more heartbroken.
The commander of the front army scout unit, a member of the Beijing army, has 5,000 elite soldiers under his command, and is strong in both men and horses.
Not only did he make great contributions in the northern border, but he also gained a lot in the war in the southwest!
Among them, some news was spread rather obscurely, but spread quickly. It was General Lu who wanted to please the Third Miss.
He seized the treasure of Youyu tribe, "The Dali Kingdom Burning Scroll", and used it as a betrothal gift.
They killed captives and nearly ten thousand people from the Youyu tribe were killed!
This statement caused a huge uproar.
At this moment, in the Taiqing Restaurant, which is the most popular restaurant in Kunming City's Huoniao Street,
It was lunchtime, and the place was crowded.
But the atmosphere in the restaurant was not as lively as before, but rather a bit heavy.
I don't know how many people lowered their heads and spoke quietly.
His eyes darted back and forth, as if he was thinking about something secret.
But as time went by, I realized that everyone was talking about it, so I became fearless and started talking about everything.
A bearded man drank the wine in the cup.
With a hint of reluctance, his voice was loud and clear.
"The treasure of Dali Kingdom. If I were the third lady, and someone offered such a betrothal gift, I would marry him!"
As soon as these words came out, some people looked over.
A shopkeeper who was about thirty years old and dressed in a fancy robe said with a smile:
"Captain Zheng, if the Third Miss looked like you, she wouldn't be able to receive such a betrothal gift."
"Hahaha." Everyone present laughed out loud, and the atmosphere became noisy.
Zheng Biaotou was a little dissatisfied, drank another glass of wine, and shouted:
"I have never seen the Third Miss, but she is the son-in-law of Lord Mu.
Even if the third young lady is not that pretty, I am willing to do it!"
As soon as these words came out, the laughter got louder, and the shopkeeper made a soft sound of "Pooh".
"Captain Zheng, why don't you take a piss and look at yourself?
The Third Miss is naturally beautiful, so beautiful that she is far more beautiful than the top girl in Ziyan Tower that you love so much."
As soon as these words came out, the eyes of everyone present lit up.
A young man in white, who was about twenty years old, swung the folding fan in his hand and asked calmly:
"Manager Liu, are you serious?"
"Of course." The shopkeeper raised his head somewhat arrogantly and said proudly:
"During the Chinese New Year last year, I took my children to Baohua Temple to pay homage.
I met the Marquis of Xiping, and the third lady was also among them. She was naturally very beautiful!
It is countless times better than those rouge and powder in Ziyan Tower."
As he spoke, the shopkeeper swept back and forth.
Soon, his eyes lit up and he looked at a young couple standing by the window.
"The Third Miss looks similar to this girl, equally beautiful."
Until this moment, some people cast their eyes over.
Only then did I realize that there was such a beautiful woman in the restaurant.
Especially the young man in white, his eyes widened in an instant, and the half-opened folding fan also stopped there.
He just felt his heart pounding. The woman in front of him was so fairy-like, she really caught his heart!
There was a sudden fire in his eyes, and he couldn't help but clench his fists and purse his lips!
He swore secretly in his heart,
If this woman is unmarried, he will definitely snatch her away!
When this scene appeared, the shopkeeper who had spoken earlier suddenly felt a pang in his heart, and had a bad premonition.
She just glanced at his words indifferently, acting too calmly.
Such people are either rich or noble, and very rich and noble.
His gaze lingered on the young man in black. He paused and spoke in a deep voice:
"Please don't be offended, sir. We are in high spirits.
It's not rude, nor is it a joke.
Today's meal expenses for both of you will be paid by Liu as an apology."
The young man in black smiled upon hearing this and looked at Shopkeeper Liu with scrutiny.
At this moment, even the onlookers noticed that the two men were extraordinary.
Especially the shopkeeper Liu, who felt as if he was being cut by a knife, which doubled his pressure.
I keep blaming myself in my heart. Why am I so talkative?
"It doesn't matter. My wife is a beauty. You are right."
Until the young man in black gently waved his hand,
Shopkeeper Liu heaved a sigh of relief and felt the enormous pressure on his body slowly dissipate.
Even the heavy atmosphere in the room dissipated a little.
As he said this, he called over the guy standing by,
He took out a few banknotes from his pocket, handed them over, and whispered something.
He smiled and spoke only after the guy nodded and left:
"Thank you, sir. It's Liu Menglang."
Many people retracted their gazes.
Although Taiqing Restaurant is not the best restaurant in Kunming,
But eating here is not cheap.
Everyone here is either rich or noble, it would be bad if we got into trouble.
They turned their gaze away, but could not see the blush on the white-clothed woman's cheeks, nor her shy and touching whisper:
"lecher."
"Everyone loves beauty. How can a girl who is so pretty not be loved by others?"
The young man in black spoke calmly with a hint of a smile on his face.
The woman in white glanced at him, then took the pickled fish from the bowl and said:
"Try the fish from Erhai Lake."
The young man in black didn't care at all and just started eating. The two of them looked very affectionate.
The young man in white saw this scene and felt his heart break quietly.
As night falls, it weaves the depths silently like a lithe weaver.
The stars are dotted, inlaid on this dark silk.
At this moment, the lights in Xipinghou Mansion were dim, and the place was busy yet solemn.
Servants were coming in and out, making arrangements busily.
In the main hall of the mansion, red candles are shining brightly, reflecting the antique decorations and adding a festive touch.
The bright red paper-cut of the word "囍" is pasted on the door lintels and window frames, swaying gently in the wind.
Servants moved around, holding brooms and carefully sweeping every inch of the ground, following the proper etiquette.
In the backyard, the new boudoir is even warmer and more tense.
The room was filled with a faint scent of incense, and a wedding dress embroidered with auspicious patterns of dragons and phoenixes was carefully placed on the bed.
Several elderly women were sitting around Mu Chuting.
While dressing her up, she gently taught her how to be a wife and a mother, her eyes full of love.
Mu Chuting's face was stained red.
Or maybe she heard something embarrassing and her face turned extremely red.
She gently raised her head and looked at herself in the mirror, smiling unconsciously with a hint of sweetness on the corners of her mouth.
At the same time, Xiping Houfu and Mrs. Feng were in the study.
Discussing the details of the wedding with several respected guests in the city,
From the organization of the ceremonial guard to the arrangement of seating at the banquet, it was extremely tedious. Although it was tiring, I enjoyed it.
At the front army scout camp, Lu Yunyi was reading a military book behind a desk.
The bright red robe was placed neatly on the bed.
People were coming in and out of the military tent.
Soon, Liu Heiying, who was a little tired and weak, walked to the desk panting and sat down.
He picked up the teapot on the table and started drinking.
He panted, somewhat helpless:
"Brother Yun'er, you are the groom, why are you so idle? I am dying of exhaustion."
Lu Yunyi moved his eyes away from the military book and glanced at him calmly:
"Isn't it just a marriage? If I have to take care of everything myself, wouldn't this position be in vain?"
"Besides, this isn't my first time, I'm familiar with the process."
Liu Heiying was stunned. Although he thought this was a fallacy, he didn't know how to refute it, so he said:
"This is different. This is the Marquis' daughter.
There are some rumors going around in the city right now. If you don't take it seriously, you might end up not marrying her."
Lu Yunyi returned his eyes to the military book.
"Are all the things ready? Are all the etiquette items ready?"
"not yet."
"Then what are you doing here?"
"I'll take a break."
"Go quickly. Tomorrow is my wedding day. We can't be careless."
"okay."
