Chapter 476 Returning the Lights
After retaking several cities occupied by Concubine Zhang, Li Zhi and others received many awards.
But everyone was not in a happy mood, but rather a little heavy.
A general secretly met Gan Fanren: "Your Majesty, many soldiers heard from Concubine Zhang that they knew Tang Shi's secret, and said that as long as Tang Shi was alive, they were her agents. This is really strange."
"This time, General Tang abandoned the army and left alone. I'm afraid there is a trick."
Who is General Tang? He can fight with his own father. Can he really run away alone because of a man he likes a little bit?
With Tang Shi's identity, I don't know how many people are secretly paying attention to him.
Some hate him.
Some admire him.
No matter what kind of feelings they have for Tang Shi, after seeing Tang Shi, they will only choose to kill Tang Shi.
Because people like Tang Shi, as long as they exist, will pose a threat to them.
How could Tang Shi run away at such a great risk for her lover?
There must be a conspiracy!
These people are full of twists and turns in their stomachs, how could they know that Tang Shi is such a simple person.
Tang Shi didn't like fighting in the first place, and the reason why she stayed with Gan Fanren was simply because she saw the suffering of the people during her travels.
She saw Gan Fanren's care for the people.
She would never rebel.
Gan Fanren knew this very well, so when he heard the minister's words, he couldn't help laughing.
"You are all prejudiced against General Tang. General Tang is a very good person."
"Although he is a military general, he has a chivalrous heart. I believe anyone who is said to be rebelling, but I absolutely do not believe him."
Gan Fanren dismissed these ministers.
"What happened today is really funny. I have to talk to Hui Niang and the others about it."
"There are so many people. I don't know if I can wait for the day when A Ci returns."
He sighed, and the sigh echoed softly in the study.
Although everyone thought that Song Ci was not dead, the Song family still decided to build a cenotaph for Song Ci.
Song Ci's colleagues and friends did not go.
As an emperor, Gan Fanren should sympathize with his subordinates and ask someone to send a gift, but Gan Fanren did not do so.
"As an emperor, if I deliver this gift, wouldn't I be personally acknowledging Aci's death?"
"Pass the order down, Song Ci's monthly salary and rewards must not be reduced, and must be sent to the Song family every month until his mother and grandmother die."
Obviously, they are all adults, but they are still as childish as children, unwilling to show up.
It seems that as long as this is done, Song Ci will come back.
The children in the study copied scriptures over and over again, wrote one blessing after another, and prayed for Song Ci.
They also went to release river lanterns together, made wishes at the Taoist temple, and prayed that Song Ci could return safely.
Gongsun Yue was rich and bought thousands of river lanterns.
The river lanterns floated on the river in layers, which was very beautiful.
In the past, the children would have laughed and Gongsun Yue would have recited two poems in a literary manner.
But today, no one was in the mood.
Gongsun Yue waved his fan, his face full of sorrow.
At this time, a scent wafted past, and a lotus-shaped lantern floated into the river.
Gongsun Yue could not help but look to the side.
Lian Xiang nodded gently to him: "I just passed by and saw you praying for Lord Song, so I wanted to do my best."
"Although I haven't met Lord Song many times, I admire him very much."
"Lord Song was very shy when talking to me, but when standing next to General Tang, he was brave."
"When the general is not around, he is like a puppet without a soul. Although he is exquisite and beautiful, he always lacks some spirit. It seems that he is a complete person only when he stands next to the general."
Gongsun Yue has never heard anyone describe Song Ci in this way.
"You seem to have only met Song Ci a few times, how come you have such a deep impression of him?"
"Maybe it's because young Master Song is the object of affection of all the sisters in our building."
Gongsun Yue pursed his lips: "Song Ci?"
"Why do you like him so much?"
Song Ci is indeed very powerful and excellent, but it shouldn't be that all the girls in Yangliu Building like him, right?
In terms of strength, Tang Shi is the combat ceiling of Dashun.
In terms of appearance, Song Ci just looks well-behaved and friendly, like a furry and shy puppy, and is far less handsome than many ministers in the court.
In terms of wealth, Song Ci is not even ranked, why do the girls in Yangliu Building like him?
"Because Lord Song only has General Tang in his eyes. No matter when and where, his eyes will only follow General Tang. This makes him better than thousands of men in the world."
"Besides, Lord Song is really cute, well-behaved, and shy. He never looks down on us, and he is always too shy to look up at us."
"It doesn't seem to be true that he is useless. Although he is a cute plush puppy, he is still a dog. His canine teeth are very powerful. If someone wants to offend General Tang, he will bite off the other person's neck without hesitation."
"The girls in the building were very sad to hear the news that Lord Song was missing. We have always wanted to do something for Lord Song."
"I didn't expect such a coincidence that I met the adults setting off lanterns."
Lian Xiang looked at the lotus lanterns in the river and said softly: "When I was young, I heard that all the rivers, lakes and seas in the world are connected. Maybe these lotus lanterns will follow the river and float to Master Xiao Song."
"Then Master Xiao Song will come back."
Lian Xiang bowed to Gongsun Yue and handed the lantern to Gongsun Yue.
"The moon is dark and the wind is high, and the dew is heavy. Master, you should take the lantern and take the children back early."
Her figure was really weak, hidden in the darkness, which made people worry.
Compared to Gongsun Yue, she obviously needs this lamp more.
[Gongsun Yue is a grown man, and there is a guard beside him, what kind of lamp does he need
?] [Lian Xiang is here to comfort Gongsun Yue.]
The wooden handle in his hand seemed to still carry the warmth of Lian Xiang's fingertips, lingering with her fragrance.
In this dark night, Gongsun Yue remembered Lian Xiang's hazy figure in his heart.
He sent Gan Tian and the others back to the palace, and then came to Yangliu Tower.
He asked softly whether Lian Xiang had returned to Yangliu Tower. After learning that Lian Xiang had returned to Yangliu Tower, he returned the lamp in his hand to the attendant.
"Please return this lamp to Miss Lianxiang and tell her that Gongsun Yue thanks her."
"If Yangliu Tower encounters any difficulties, please let Miss Lianxiang come to me."
Gongsun Yue handed the lamp over with both hands, but hesitated before turning to leave.
"Forget it, you should return this lamp to me. It has been stained with a lot of dust along the way. I should fill it with oil and wipe it clean."
He muttered to himself and took back the lamp. He refused to admit that he was afraid that if he returned the lamp, the two would never meet again.
