Chapter 63 The old man is gone

The fine sand in the hourglass finally leaked out, and the time finally came.

A sad smile had already floated on the corner of Chen Yuanyuan's mouth. Finally, she looked back and looked out of the tent, slowly lay down in the coffin, her slender hands relaxed, and the jade bottle containing the peacock gallbladder had been raised high, and the bright red lips coated with cinnabar had been slightly opened... My husband, don't go too far, I'm here to find you.

"Yuanyuan, don't!"

Wang Pu's voice suddenly sounded outside the tent. Chen Yuanyuan instinctively turned over and sat up, and then turned back to look outside the tent as fast as possible. But soon, the hope in her beautiful eyes dispersed like fireworks, and there was not even a figure outside the tent. The hallucination was just an illusion.

"well."

Chen Yuanyuan sighed quietly, lay down in the coffin again, and raised the jade bottle again.

"Yuanyuan, don't!"

Wang Pu's voice sounded outside the tent again, but this time Chen Yuanyuan did not sit up again, but thought sadly in her heart that this must be the soul of her husband and was summoning her to go on the road together. Chen Yuanyuan believed that as long as she drank the peacock gall in the bottle, she could see Wang Pu, and then she could be with him forever.

Chen Yuanyuan slowly opened her mouth and slowly tilted the jade bottle.

When the peacock bile in the jade bottle was about to pour into Chen Yuanyuan's mouth, a big hand suddenly appeared in the air, and grabbed Chen Yuanyuan's white wrist. After shaking, the jade bottle in Chen Yuanyuan's hand had already flew out and fell to the ground with a shattering sound. The peacock bile in the bottle flowed all over the floor.

"Yuanyuan, you are so stupid!"

A familiar voice and a familiar face suddenly appeared on his head, but Chen Yuanyuan couldn't believe it. She just looked at Wang Pu flexibly and asked in a daze: "Mr., is my family dead? Otherwise, how can I see your soul? Mr., is it really your soul back?"

"Silly girl." Wang Pu felt sad, and she actually dripped two tears. He pulled Chen Yuanyuan's delicate body up from the coffin with his right hand. He reached out and picked it up, leaned into Chen Yuanyuan's ear and said softly, "Silly girl, my husband is not dead, you are not dead, we are all alive."

"We are not dead?" Chen Yuanyuan's beautiful eyes recovered a little angry, "Isn't really dead?"

Wang Pu approached Chen Yuanyuan's face and sniffed gently, and said softly: "Is my husband's tone hot? Only the tone of a living person is hot."

"Mr.." Chen Yuanyuan finally believed that she and Wang Pu were still alive. She suddenly opened her arms and hugged Wang Pu's neck hard, and said sadly, "I don't want to separate from you, don't..."

"If you don't separate, we will never separate." Wang Pu hugged Chen Yuanyuan's delicate body hard, wishing to melt their bodies into one, and said emotionally, "Yuanyuan, my husband promised you that we will never separate."

Inside Beijing.

Scarface, Xiaoqi, the bearded man who had just been released, and more than a dozen other servants surrounded Zhen Youcai and rushed to the camp outside the city. Anyway, Wang Pu had already rushed back on a fast horse, so it didn't matter if they rushed back. Whether Chen Yuanyuan was dead or alive can only depend on the will of heaven.

When the group of people barely walked to Dongzhimen, Xiaoqi suddenly exclaimed, pointed at the front and shouted, "Isn't that a pillar?"

Scarface and the servants looked in the direction of Xiaoqi's finger. A famous young man was sitting at the tea stall on the roadside. The man was wearing a green dress and a small hat. He looked like a servant of a wealthy family. He was carrying a bulging luggage on his shoulders and his face was covered with dust.

"What a Zhuzi!" Scarface shouted, "Zhuzi, why are you here in Beijing?"

At this time, the young man also turned around when he heard the movement, and shouted at him: "Xiao Qi, Scarface!"

Xiaoqi came up with his servants and asked in surprise: "Zhuzi, you are not in Datong, why are you here to go to the capital?"

Zhuzi stood up and said sadly: "The old man is gone, I'm here to report the demise to the third master."

"Ah? The old man is gone?"

"Yes." Zhuzi said sadly, "The last time the capital sent to Datong Prefecture, the Tang newspaper said that the Third Master led his troops to Liaodong, and there was no news for more than a month. I don't know who said he had spoken to let the old man know. The old man fell ill in an emergency. The old man hired all the famous doctors in Datong Prefecture but couldn't cure it... On the night when the old man was gone, the news of the Third Master's victory returning reached Datong Prefecture. Alas, it's just one step away."

"Ouch." Zhen Youcai suddenly clapped his hands hard and shouted, "Okay!"

"Who are you?" Zhuzi said furiously when he heard this, "How do you speak?"

"Uh..." Zhen Youcai immediately came to his senses and quickly apologized, "Sorry, I'm so embarrassed. I didn't intend to disrespect the old man, but the old man abandoned the world at this time, which shows that this is God's will, God wants to save the general."

"Mr. Zhen, I've made you confused?" Xiao Qi scratched his head and asked, "What do you mean?"

"What does it mean?" Zhen Youcai smiled treacherously, "The general will be able to return to Datong in a few days."

"Xiao Qi." Zhuzi shouted, "You might as well take me to see the Third Master as soon as possible."

■■■

When Xiaoqi, Scarface and the others returned to the camp with the pillars, Wang Pu was furious. When he looked up and saw everyone coming in, he shouted: "Xiaoqi, you are here just in time."

Xiaoqi came in tremblingly and asked humbly: "General, what's wrong?"

"What's wrong?" Wang Pu said angrily, "What's wrong with you? Why are there only 300,000 taels of silver left? Where is the other 200,000 taels? Tell me what's going on? Do you know that these silvers must be transported back to Datong, and they are all pensions for the fallen brothers!"

"this……"

Xiao Qi was speechless and could only look back at Zhen Youcai.

Zhen Youcai bent over and went into the tent and said to Wang Pu: "General, it's not Xiaoqi's fault, it's all the villain's idea."

Wang Pu said in surprise: "What's your idea?"

"Yes, it's the villain's idea." Zhen Youcai nodded and said, "In order to clear the relationship for the general, the villain took his own initiative to pay 200,000 taels of silver from the account, of which 50,000 taels were used to deal with Zhou Guozhang, 50,000 taels were used to deal with Tian Guojiu, and the remaining 100,000 taels were used to deal with the prince and the prince."

"You... you are a spendthrift." Wang Pu said in pain, "Even if you have to deal with it, you don't need so much, right? Just get a ten thousand-eight thousand, so how can you use so much?"

Zhen Youcai smiled bitterly and said, "General You don't know anything. The threshold for the father-in-law's mansion and the uncle's mansion is very high. You can't get in without 50,000 taels of silver. As for the prince's threshold, it's even higher. Besides, the general, this money is something outside the body. As long as you can save your life, you won't have much money."

"That's right." Wang Pu nodded and said to Xiaoqi, "In this way, tomorrow you will bring some people to sell the ginseng, Dongzhu, gold, animal skins and other things in the camp to the city. You can almost get more than one million taels. After returning to Datong, you will use this silver to pay the pension to the fallen brothers."

"San Master." After following the pillar that came, he had the opportunity to go up and talk, "The old man is gone."

"Old Master?" Wang Pu asked casually, "Which old master?"

"Uh..." Zhuzi said in surprise, "Old Master is of course your old master, Third Master."

"My old man?" Wang Pu was stunned and then came to his senses, "Oh, you mean my father, what's wrong with my father?"

Zhuzi said sadly: "The old man is gone."
