unprepared

What Song Tang said to Yan Chen was nothing else, but that he knew Yu Wang Yanlin.

King Yu is the younger brother of the current Holy Majesty. He was named King Yu 14 years ago, saying that he was named king, but he was transferred to Fengdan to be an idle prince, which can be said to be in name only.

As for what King Yu did to offend His Majesty, no one knew.

The urgent superstition letter sent to the palace at the beginning stated that there were riots in the sixteen cities of Fengdan, and King Yu's whereabouts were unknown.

It's okay to say whether he died or betrayed, but it's the unknown whereabouts that makes it more interesting.

Song and Tang said that he knew King Yu, but Yan Chen didn't know if what he said was true or just nonsense, so he finally agreed to let him go with him.

What if what he said was true?

Shuojing is probably his second hometown for Yan Chen, and emotionally speaking, he is much more attached to Shuojing than Gongxi.

Goncy is where he was born and where he lived for 18 years.But that place gave him the most hurt and indelible suffering.

He didn't stay in Shuojing for a long time, it was only a year when he was full of money, but Shuojing's people, everything that happened in Shuojing, reminded him that he couldn't stop raising the corners of his mouth.

Now that he left the capital, he felt as if he had left his hometown, and even felt inexplicably flustered, as if he could feel the uneasiness that Su Huai felt last night.

"What's the matter?" During the march, Song Tang was only a horse away from him, and when he saw his horse stop slowly, he stepped forward and asked.

Yan Chen half turned around and looked back at Shuojing City. Of course, the city gate had long since disappeared, and all he could see was a long line that couldn't be seen at a glance.

Yan Chen shook his head and said nothing.

Song Tang, however, seemed to be able to see through his thoughts, and comforted him: "Don't worry, you will be able to return triumphantly this time. If you can't..."

Yan Chen looked at him, when comforting people, you usually don't need the "if you can't" at the end!

Song Tang bent his eyes, lowered his voice and said, "If you can't, just think about Mr. Su."

Yan Chen was noncommittal, he was right, even if it was only for Su Huai, he would return safely.

It's just this farewell, no one thought that the two would meet again, two years later, in such a situation.

……

Time can change everything. The ruler of Dashun has changed long ago. The prime minister's mansion, which was so important at the time, has been emptied and then rebuilt into the general's mansion. No one mentions the Seventh Highness who once divided power with King Xuan.

The luxurious and spacious carriage of the General's Mansion was parked in front of the prison, and the young man who was accompanying him had a horrible, disfigured face. Most of his face was covered with criss-crossed knife marks, making people afraid to Take a second look.

"My lord, we're here." The young man's voice seemed rough and low, as if it had been smoky.

"The person hasn't come out yet?" The people in the car didn't move, only a faint voice came out, and no emotion could be heard.

"I guess we have to wait for a while, do you want to go down and let me know?" the man outside asked.

The people inside were silent for a moment before saying: "No need, there is nothing urgent!"

I don't know how long it took before three people came out slowly.

In the twelfth lunar month of winter, the embarrassed man in the middle was only wearing thin prison clothes. I don’t know whether the clothes were too ill-fitting or he was too thin. The white clothes hung on his body, making him look like a kite with a broken string, as if the wind could blow his body away. He blows away.

The messy hair covered the entire face, only a thin chin was exposed. He was holding a female doll in his arms, wrapped in a lot of messy clothes, and he seemed to be asleep.

Two jailers sent people to the carriage of the General's Mansion: "General, bring the person you want."

"Thank you." The man beside the carriage cupped his hands at them, and then said to the man holding the child, "Mr. Su, please get in the carriage."

Up to this moment, the people in the carriage have not moved at all.

Su Huai hugged Su Keke and stood in front of the carriage staring at the curtain for a while, seeming to be thinking about something, but also seemed to be thinking about nothing, just in a daze.

"Master Su." It wasn't until the person next to him reminded him again that he woke up like a dream.

In two years, Su Huai has changed too much. He is no longer the reckless son of the prime minister's mansion.

Even when he saw Yan Chen, who he most wanted to dismember and regarded as his enemy a year ago, he didn't even move his eyelids. He hugged Su Keke and sat quietly at the place farthest from the man inside, looking down at Yan Chen. The female doll in his arms was patted gently.

Yan Chen has long since disappeared from his original appearance. The current general of Zhen Guo is so handsome, steady and introverted. Even if he just sits there quietly, his intimidating power cannot be ignored.

Su Huai's messy and sparse hair blocked someone's sight, and it was because of this that Yan Chen dared to look at the person in front of him unscrupulously and even greedily.

It has been two years, and they have been separated for two years.

But when we meet again, things are different now.

Yan Chen took off the black cloak on his body, slowly moved to his side, and carefully wrapped it around him.

According to Su Huai's temperament in the past, he would have refused immediately and scolded him bloody, but now Su Huai Dong has not moved a bit, and is very obedient.

"Big Brother..." Yan Chen was a little timid, and when he called out "Big Brother", his throat was bitter.

The thin shoulders of the person who hadn't responded all this time trembled, as if trying to endure something.

"Su Ting is gone, Su Qi's life or death is uncertain, whose elder brother am I..." Su Huai laughed at himself, then raised his eyes to look at Yan Chen through the hair in front of him, "Are you the general's elder brother? Heh... I don't know." I can't bear it."

Yan Chen felt bitter, and wanted to reach out to hug him, but was afraid of being rejected.

Compared with the Yuan'an General's Mansion in the past, the Zhen Guo General's Mansion is much more luxurious.

The lacquered gold plaque alone showed the status of the Zhen Guo General's Mansion. Su Huai got out of the car with Su Keke in his arms, still wearing the black cloak. He stood at the door and looked up, followed by Yan Shen went in behind.

The courtyard of General Zhen Guo's Mansion is very large. Once you enter the door, there are four neat rows of maids and servants. At a glance, there are at least four or fifty people.

Su Huai sighed in his heart, the battle is really big!

"General." A man in his 40s came up to him. He was thin and smart, with a mustache.After bowing his head and paying respects to Yan Chen, a pair of slender eyes looked at Su Huai.

"Is everyone here?" Yan Chen's deep gaze turned around the crowd.

"Yes." Mustache said, "Except for the Nursing Academy, they are still practicing martial arts."

"Well, I'll leave this person to you, and train him well." Yan Chen pushed Su Huai behind him.

The mustache looked at Yan Chen's cloak on him, and thought about it: "Yes."

Yan Chen waved his hand to let the crowd disperse, then he walked away without even looking at Su Huai.

Mustache walked to Su Huai's side, and his attitude was relatively gentle: "Please follow me."

Su Huai hugged Su Keke and followed behind him.

"My name is Du Feng, and I'm the housekeeper of the General's Mansion. In the future, you can ask me anything you don't understand." Steward Du introduced as he walked, "Mr. Su probably didn't do any work before, and I'm afraid of the work of these servants." I can't do it for a while, so it should be feasible to arrange for you to serve in the general's study!"

Su Huai's footsteps paused, and then followed.

Yan Chen returned to the study and sat down in front of the table in a daze.

For more than a year, he has lived in a muddle every day, until today when he saw Su Huai and really felt his existence, he seemed to be alive again.

Although he knew that Su Huai was having a hard time these days, his current appearance still shocked him.

It all started two years ago.

At that time, Yan Chen had dealt with the rebels in Fengdan for more than three months, but there was no progress, and the situation was serious.

After Yan Shen arrived in Fengdan, he found out that the leader of the rebel army turned out to be King Yu Yanlin, which made him suspicious.

At this time, there was great chaos in Beijing, and Emperor Cheng died!

Yan Chen was held back here, unable to figure out the situation in Beijing immediately, so he took the time to send a letter to the Prime Minister's Mansion, but unfortunately there was no news after waiting for more than a month.

Later, he sent one of his cronies to Shuojing in person, and this time he finally got a response, but it was not what he wanted to hear.

Along with the cronies, an old friend—Chen Yin came.

Only then did Yan Chen realize that maybe it was a mistake for him to leave Shuojing in the first place, or maybe it was a trap from the beginning.

When Chen Yin saw him, he couldn't hold back any longer, and cried until he passed out. After waking up, he told him what happened in Beijing.

Not long after Emperor Cheng died, the Qin family and King Xuan's faction supported King Xuan to ascend the throne.

His Highness the Seventh Prince did not return, and the Prime Minister's party naturally refused to agree. At this time, someone accused Su Zhang of colluding with the remnants of the rebels, and the evidence was solid.

King Xuan ordered all the hundreds of people in the prime minister's mansion to be taken into custody.

On the way back to Beijing, Yan Zhizhou was led back to Beijing privately by King Xuan because he had not received an edict.

The Prime Minister's Mansion and Yan Zhizhou are inextricably linked. In addition, Su Zhang has always been a member of the Seventh Prince's faction. Now that the Prime Minister's Mansion is colluding with the remnants of rebels, Yan Zhizhou naturally cannot escape.

Yan Zhizhou failed to enter the city, so he was wanted by the whole country, and his whereabouts were unknown, and no one knew whether he was alive or dead.

The prime minister's mansion was undergoing great changes, and Su Ting got wind of it, sent Chen Yin away overnight and gave her a letter of divorce. At this time, they had just been married for two months.

"Uncle Su and the others... Are you okay?" Yan Chen's heart trembled when he asked this sentence, and he could even guess who the so-called "conclusive evidence" came from.

Chen Yin held back tears: "Father and mother hanged themselves on the first night in custody."

If it wasn't for supporting the table next to him, Yan Chen might have fallen headfirst.

"A Ting is gone!" When Chen Yin mentioned Su Ting, it seemed that he had uncovered the scar again, "He was beaten to death by the guards."

Yan Chen clenched his teeth, constantly adjusting his breathing to calm himself down.

Up to now, he didn't even dare to ask about Su Huai's situation. He was afraid of hearing news that he didn't want to hear.
