Lanling covered the moon

In the government office of Jinyang County, there were only a few small officials who were copying under the dim candlelight. When they saw someone coming in, they got up and asked about the origin.

The car guards showed the prince's badge, and they knelt down in panic.The man behind Che Yan put down his cloak and hat brim, even though the light was dim, his amazing appearance made the whole room full of brilliance. The officials were dumb and just pointed to the direction inside, telling the coming people where the female family members of the Yuwen family were detained. .

The path leading to the underground is dark and damp. Xiao Zimo only heard that the hostages have been guarded in the government office all the time, but he didn't expect the conditions to be so bad, no different from the places where prisoners are held.

Decades ago, Yu Wentai escaped from Guanzhong. He left in a hurry, and in the future he would take away some of the Yuwen clan's family members. Among them were the mother Yan Ji and aunt Yuwen clan of the Northern Zhou Dynasty chief minister Yu Wenhu.Afterwards, Yu Wentai supported Yuan Baoju as the emperor in Chang'an, and established the Western Wei Dynasty, which was in conflict with the Eastern Wei Dynasty. These female relatives were imprisoned in Jinyang for many years.

No one expected that Yuwenhu has now become an upstart in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, controlling the government and calling the wind and rain. Even Duguxin and Zhao Gui from Bazhu Kingdom joined forces to get rid of him but failed. Instead, he was convicted of treason and lost his life.Yuwentai's third son Xiaomin Emperor Yuwenjue clashed with Da Sima Yuwenhu and was forced to abdicate. He was killed a month later. The Guanlong aristocratic group represented by the Six Pillars Kingdom and the Twelve Generals, no one dares to provoke a conflict with Yu Wenhu.Yuwentai I, a hero, probably did not expect that after his death, his sons would live a life of humiliation.

In a dark room, an old woman was holding the soles of shoes under an oil lamp.

She was poorly dressed, but she looked proud.He didn't get up when he heard someone coming, but a few younger female relatives sitting on the haystack ran over, grabbing the wooden railing of the cell, eager to see the appearance of the person.They were even more overjoyed when they saw that they were not government officials or Jinyang prefects.

"My lord, my lord, will you let us out?" There were a few grass stalks in the hair of a soft-looking woman, and her eyes were full of joy.The nose tip of the face is dusty, a face that is bloodless white, and there is an empty line of sight in the dim light of the oil lamp.Yuwenyan is Yuwenhu's aunt, and she is also a female family member that Yuwenhu mentioned repeatedly in his letters to Beiqi.She is the youngest sister of Yu Wenhu's father, and she was only in her prime when she was imprisoned.

Yu Wenyan looked closely at Xiao Zimo's face, and was stunned.Has she been locked up for too long? Seeing a man, she just stared blankly like this. She stood there in a daze. It got up and flowed into her heart.This underground cell that had tortured her for so many years, so many days and nights, seemed to have the brilliance and hope of being alive like never before.how old is she?She was only twelve years old when she was captured by Northern Qi officers and soldiers, and now it has been 18 years!

"Mrs. Yan, Mrs. Yuwen, Gao Changgong from Xiabei Qi, here to escort you all back to Chang'an by order." Zi Mo said a few words, making the basement completely silent, and then the heart-piercing wailing sounded. one slice.Those women who had been tortured in this place for so many years hugged each other and cried into tears. Xiao Zimo asked the car guards to open the prison door, and the female family members of the Yuwen family came out one by one. It's like dreaming.

"Mrs. Yan, please come out. I have prepared accommodations for you all. If Mrs. Yan is unable to move, I will ask my guards to carry you out." Zimo saw a thick wooden stick beside the old woman, probably It is used as a crutch.

After hearing this, Yan slowly raised her head, looked at Xiao Zimo, smiled, and waited for the soles of the shoes to be put in, then stopped the work in her hand and moved her body slowly.

Yu Wenyan came back and helped Yan Shi, and said: "My lord, my sister-in-law has been here for a long time, and she can't walk around because of rheumatism in her legs and feet. Don't blame her, my lord." Yu Wenyan said timidly, she was used to this Jinyang The people in the government office humiliated, tortured and abused them in every possible way, they were really afraid that Yan Shi would offend the lord, so they hurriedly stood in front of Yan Shi and said.

"Well, then slowly help Mrs. Yan out, the car guards, help the old lady get the needlework and shoe soles from the table, and send them to Mrs. Yan's room later." Zimo said with a smile, So Yan Shi was asked to leave the cell first, and Che Yan collected the belongings of the female relatives in the cell.

Yu Wenyan supported Yan Shi, turned her head and peeked at Zi Mo, her heart was pounding.

This tall man is really a good man. . . . . .She had never seen such a lenient Northern Qi official.

"Yan'er, you will share a room with my sister-in-law later." Yan Shi patted Yu Wenshi's hand and said.

"Well, I'll change your clothes for sister-in-law later." Yu Wenyan nodded.

Xiao Zimo brought a group of women from the state of Zhou to stay at the post station in Jinyang. Wang Taishou invited Zimo to stay in his prefect mansion, but Xiao Zimo refused.

Those women hadn't seen the sun for a long time, and when they saw something delicious and fun, they wept again.Xiao Zimo ordered people to go to the street to buy some women's hairpins and clothes, and asked the inn to boil hot water for them to clean. People who didn't know thought that the nobleman took his wives and concubines for a trip, old and young, women of all sizes They circled the third floor and the third floor of Zimoli several times, and they all saluted and thanked him frequently.

"My lord, we can just send back the female relatives of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. There is no need to wait so attentively. Let Yu Wenhu know, I thought you were afraid of him, my lord." Well, Zhou State and Qi State are sworn enemies, and this week's women are also different.

"Guardian Che, the two countries are fighting without killing each other, let alone the female family members of the enemy country. They have suffered enough in that dark place. Now that they can go home, let them dress up and meet their families decently. , this can be regarded as the mighty emperor's grace of Northern Qi." Zi Mo said.

"His Royal Highness Lanling is really kind-hearted, no, it should be said that he is a bodhisattva. I have never seen such nobles and grandchildren as Your Highness. It is their blessing to meet you!"

"Guardian Che, you and I will work together for a long time in the future, so you don't have to be so serious. Leave the flattery to others. I know Weiwei Che, you have excellent martial arts skills. If you have time, why not accompany me? I haven't seen you for a long time. I have fought with others, and I feel that my bones have become much duller." Zi Mo said with a smile.

"Yes! This subordinate obeys the order." Che Yan took the order.

Che Yan is the leader of Lanling King's personal army after Zi Mo became the king, and the chief guard who accompanied the prince to protect his safety. He has a cold personality and strong martial arts.Zimo just sealed the prince, and there is no shelf to carry it at all, but Che Yan is always holding a face carved out of ten thousand years of stone in front of her, saying obedience to the right and thanking him, reminding Xiao Zi every second. It's so casual.

On the second day, Wang Taishou did not expect that King Lanling and his party would go to Chang'an first, and he was relieved. He was afraid that there would not be enough time to build weapons. one.When King Lanling comes back, distribute the good ones to the soldiers, and when King Lanling leaves, sell some of the ironware to exchange for some real gold and silver, and then let Mr. Si Nong Li use his brains, and the money goes into his wallet again. up.

Wang Taishou smiled all over his face. After all, King Lanling is young, and he is born with golden branches and jade leaves. He may not know some tricks, and a strong dragon can't beat a snake. It's better for your lord to go back to Yecheng to enjoy the blessings!

Night, Chang'an, Weiyang Palace.

Emperor Yu Wenyu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty sat beside the dragon table in the Xuanshi Hall, reading at night with a lamp on, while copying the history books of Sinology.

"Your Majesty, Lord Sikong is here." A little father-in-law ran in to communicate, Yu Wenyu nodded and said, "Immediately declare Sikong to come in."

After the little eunuch retreated, a person came in from Xuan Shi Dian, tall and handsome.He is a lot taller than Xiao Zimo when he met him in the Yecheng market two years ago, and he has lost some of his youthful youthfulness, with deep eyebrows and sharp outlines.His eyes were as black as night, yet elegant as mist, and his two sword-shaped eyebrows slanted into his temples, showing an air of arrogance, coldness and alienation.

"Chen Yu Wenyong has met His Majesty, Your Majesty is very..."

"Okay, okay, fourth brother, there is no one else here, what kind of gift are you doing!" Yu Wenyu beckoned Yu Wenyong to come closer to him, "Sit down, Yu Wenhu's old lady will be released from Beiqi soon, he The day-to-day staring at me is no longer so tight, and we brothers finally have a chance to talk, so don't see each other." Yu Wenyu put the letter aside, and dismissed the others, leaving only the two brothers to talk at night by candlelight.

"Yes, Brother Huang. I also heard about this in the court hall in the past few days. I think that the young master who came to Northern Qi was the first great treasure, so he wanted to release the hostages and sign the non-war document with the traitor Yuwenhu in exchange for a few years of peace. "

"Heh, even the Gao family knew that they wanted a truce and asked Yu Wenhu. After all, I, the emperor, is just a puppet in the eyes of Qi!" Yu Wenyu sighed, and couldn't help frowning, feeling frustrated.

Yu Wenyu looks very handsome. Compared with Yu Wenyong, he has a lot more refined taste. He is thin and smooth like jade. Since he ascended the throne, he has been wholeheartedly planning to break the pattern of Yuwenhu's dictatorship, but he died before his ambition was fulfilled, and was discovered by Yuwenhu before he was poisoned and killed. Even Zhao Gui and Duguxin were involved in it. die.Now the elder brother Yu Wenyu is sitting on the throne, but their brothers all understand that if Yu Wenyu can't be removed, they are just puppet regimes.

"Brother Huang, although Yu Wenhu has recently adopted various new policies across the country according to your wishes, and seems to have the intention of compromising with you, Brother Huang, but he has been unwilling to hand over his military power for so long. Be on guard." Yu Wenyong said.

"Fourth brother, how could I not know his ambitions. After the third brother was poisoned, he, Yu Wenhu, couldn't stand up to the court's courtiers, so he helped me to sit on the throne, but what did he install? In fact, the heart is clearly revealed. Now, among the Zhu Kingdom and the Twelve Generals, none of them are willing to stand up for me..." Yu Wenyu sighed, the death of Dugu Xin and General Zhao Gui It really shocked many important ministers who wanted to set things right.

"Your Majesty, my younger brother came here tonight because he wanted to tell the emperor some good news." Yu Wenyong said softly.

"Let's hear what a good thing it is."

"General Hou Mo Chen Chong of the Zhu Kingdom intends to help the emperor, but the two Zhu Kingdoms were killed by Yu Wenhu before. General Hou Mo Chen Chong said to proceed with caution. I hope your Majesty can calm down."

"That's great! If Zhu Guo is really willing to share the same hatred with our brothers, it is really a blessing for Zhou Guo! You pass the message to General Zhu Guo on my behalf. With his words, I will endure everything. I must wait patiently." When the time comes, I will kill that Yuwenhu traitor by surprise!"

Yu Wenyu's eyes were firm, and he was looking forward to the dawn in the Weiyang Palace with many fourteen halls.
