Marry the Regent [Time Travel]

He Yuan looked at the bandit leader condescendingly, and said coldly, "Can you let him go?"

The bandit leader shifted his gaze from Xue Yunqing's face to He Yuan's face, screaming in his heart that something was wrong. He never thought that he would find a hard rock in his robbery, and this rock was backed by thousands of troops. He also pretended to be clever and turned black and white, and found out that he was in the same group in a blink of an eye. Can he still get away with it?

Seeing that he didn't respond for a long time, He Yuan frowned, tilted his head slightly and ordered in a low voice to the standard bearer next to him: "The archers are ready."

The big black flag fluttering in the wind suddenly swung and pulled, and a row of sharp arrows shot out at the same time, all aimed at the bandits.

The bandit leader's eyes widened, and he strangled Xue Yunqing even tighter, with the blade tightly pressed against his neck, and shouted: "Don't mess around! Otherwise, I'll kill your princess!"

Xue Yunqing's face turned dark when he heard this, but this is not the time to worry about these issues, so he gritted his teeth secretly.

Xue Yunzhou on the side obviously felt that the knife on his neck was not too tight. He glanced at the bandit leader. Although he saw that the man's words and deeds were a little silly, after all, it must not be a simple one after all. Characters, maybe they will be ruthless after getting angry. He was a little worried about Xue Yunqing's safety, and couldn't bear him to be his scapegoat, so he quickly said: "Brother, you made a mistake. I am the princess, and he is not."

The bandit leader turned his head slightly, and looked him up and down unscrupulously, with some disgust in his eyes: "Who are you lying to?"

Xue Yunzhou almost vomited blood. He couldn't help grilling food by himself all the way, so he specially picked rough clothes to wear on the outside. In addition, he really didn't like to put on the spectrum of the son of the aristocratic family. a supporting role.

He turned to look at He Yuan speechlessly, hoping that he could think of a way.

He Yuan gave him a stable look, and said to the bandit leader: "Are you going to fight against thousands of troops? If you dare to touch a hair on them, this king will immediately order your mountain to be leveled, you people Don't even think about surviving."

The bandit leader's eyes tightened, and he dragged Xue Yunqing back with the wheelchair: "I won't fight against you, and the previous incident was just a misunderstanding. You asked the princess to give us a ride. To show my sincerity, I let the others go." Already!"

The knife on Xue Yunzhou's neck was immediately evacuated. Seeing Xue Yunqing being dragged away alone, his heart tightened, and he shouted to the bandit leader: "Are you short-sighted? The prince has been watching me from beginning to end, why are you so sure that you didn't catch him?" Wrong person?"

The bandit leader obviously had preconceived ideas, and smiled indifferently: "Who knows, maybe you look good, and the prince wants to take you as a concubine?"

Xue Yunzhou vomited old blood in his heart, and said angrily: "You'd better let him go honestly!"

Xue Yunqing looked indifferent: "It's okay, he doesn't dare to play tricks."

The bandit leader gritted his teeth, stepped back a little, and shook his chin at the refugees who fell to the ground: "Take them all away."

The other bandits acted immediately, but compared to the refugees, they were relatively small in number and couldn't take care of them, so they were in a hurry.

Xue Yunqing moved his wrist slightly, and looked towards He Yuan.

He Yuan was paying attention to every move of the bandit leader, so naturally he immediately received Xue Yunqing's gaze, and glanced at him calmly.

Xue Yunqing suddenly raised a hand, and stabbed fiercely at the bandit leader behind him with his fingertips.

A flash of silver light flashed, the bandit leader was taken aback, and he turned sideways to avoid it, but unfortunately it happened suddenly, he was a step behind, only felt a tingling pain in his neck, and then began to feel numbness, this numbness quickly spread all over his body, his whole body The person quickly loses consciousness.

Xue Yunqing snorted lightly, pushed aside the knife on his neck, and said sarcastically, "I'll give you good advice, and you must be on guard against others."

The bandit leader watched in disbelief as the knife in his hand fell to the ground with a bang, and then he leaned back and fell heavily. The moment he fell to the ground, he was still thinking: Was it a silver needle that he saw just now?Poisoned?What kind of poison is this? !

The accident happened suddenly, and He Yuan, who was always paying attention to this place, immediately ordered the outflank.

The situation quickly reversed. Some bandits wanted to catch Xue Yunqing again, but they were blocked by the sharp arrows shot by the army. It was only a moment of hesitation before they missed the opportunity. They had no bargaining chip to threaten them. Unable to fight back, he was soon surrounded by groups, and those ropes were untied from Xue Yunzhou and others, and tied to themselves.

Seeing that Xue Yunqing was fine, Xue Yunzhou let out a mouthful, and immediately turned to look at He Yuan.

He Yuan also looked at him, without much change on his face, but his eyes were obviously gentle and intimate: "Zhou Zhou, come here."

Xue Yunzhou hasn't seen him for a long time, and it's no exaggeration to say that he thinks about it day and night. At this moment, the crisis is lifted and his heart is relaxed. He looks at He Yuan with a sticky look. When he heard him calling himself, he immediately ran towards him excitedly. past.

He Yuan turned over and got off the horse, and just stretched out a hand to pull him, when he saw him rushing straight in front of him like a cannonball, at the same time he jumped up with his arms and legs outstretched, a bear pounced on him, and then tightened his waist A bear hug around the neck.

"Second brother! Second brother!" Xue Yunzhou called him in a low voice, his whole body glowing with joy.

He Yuan's heart, which had been empty for a month, was immediately filled with his intimacy, and he almost kissed him regardless of the occasion, so he quickly collected himself, raised his hand to support him, and carefully looked at his face sideways: "You Are you okay?"

"It's okay, it's okay! I didn't expect you to catch up so soon! I'm so excited!" Xue Yunzhou rubbed against his face excitedly.

Behind He Yuan, all the soldiers stared at them dumbfounded, as if they had seen a ghost in the blue sky.

After Xue Yunzhou got excited, he finally realized the strange silence around him. He quickly jumped off He Yuan, raised his eyes and smiled at him, then turned his head to look around, and asked, "What about those people?"

"Catch it first, and tell me what's going on."

He Yuan ordered to rest on the spot, and He Liangcai, Song Quan and others came to greet him immediately. Xue Yunzhou told what happened, then turned around and asked Song Quan: "Is there anything on the carriage?"

"No less." Song Quan shook his head, "They were trying to divert the tiger away from the mountain, and my subordinates didn't think well at the time, so they let them succeed."

He Yuan turned his gaze to the bandits who were tied up not far away, and said to a general surnamed Tian beside him: "General Tian, ​​I leave this matter to you to investigate, and let me know the result."

General Tian was still in the shock of "the prince is so tender", he was stunned for a long time before he came back to his senses, he quickly answered "yes", and led a few cronies towards the bandit pile.

Those refugees who were knocked unconscious were arranged not far away, and they had already woken up one after another at this moment. After waking up, they were confused for a moment. After seeing the army stationed here, Qiqi's expression changed.

After all, they are ordinary people. When facing Xue Yunzhou, they would only treat them as passing businessmen, and they would not be too afraid. But facing these large armies, He Yuan and other generals who looked unusually imposing, the concept of hierarchy was rooted in their bones. Immediately magnified infinitely, almost trembling with fear for a moment.

He Yuan looked at them and frowned, feeling a little tricky.

Xue Yunzhou said: "These people help the bandits rob the road, probably because of the pressure of life, they really can't live on."

He Yuan nodded. These people did not make any serious mistakes. If they were really used by bandits because of their livelihood, then there is no need to pursue this matter too much. But with my identity here, I met these displaced people He can't just sit back and watch the poor people.

After thinking about it, He Yuan handed over the matter to a general surnamed Guo, and ordered: "Investigate their origins and their relationship with these bandits."

After General Guo took the order to leave, only He Yuan and Xue Yunqing were left here.

He Yuan glanced around and asked, "Are you all okay?"

Everyone shook their heads in unison. Mrs. Kang thought of the scene where he and Xue Yunzhou were very intimate. Although she felt that it was a little out of place, she was relieved a lot. Looking at He Yuan at this time, she also felt much more pleasing to the eye.

Xue Yunzhou grabbed Xue Yunqing's wrist, raised his hand in front of his eyes, and asked curiously: "How did you deal with that bandit leader just now? What are you hiding in your hand?"

Xue Yunqing moved his fingers, and a silver needle appeared instantly.

Xue Yunzhou stared straight: "You are hiding deep enough! Is there poison in the needle?"

"It's not poison, it's just an anesthetic."

Xue Yunzhou was a little unbelievable, and leaned close to He Yuan's ear and whispered: "Isn't it too mysterious? General anesthesia is so easy? Is modern medicine regressing?"

He Yuan thought for a while, then lowered his voice and said, "Maybe the anesthetic ingredients are not single, maybe mixed with other harmful ingredients, there is no comparison."

"Oh..." Xue Yunzhou nodded.

The people next to them saw the two of them whispering, although they couldn't hear what they were talking about, but they always felt that the two of them formed a world of their own, faintly separating the others, and they were surprisingly harmonious, so they got up and left consciously, leaving behind. The two of them talked there.

The matter here is almost finished, Xue Yunzhou couldn't wait to ask about He Yuan's situation: "Why did you chase after him so quickly? The battle is over? Tuli ran away?"

"We withdrew our troops halfway." He Yuan told him the situation at that time, and said, "It is very abnormal for Tuli to withdraw troops suddenly without being defeated. I have already sent someone to find out the news. If there is a problem, then there is a problem on our side, and their retreat this time was premeditated."

"Premeditated? For what?"

"Pretending to invade the Central Plains, in order to lure me out of the capital." He Yuan took out the imperial list from his bosom, "It's also for this."

Xue Yunzhou took it suspiciously, his brows tightened as he watched, and finally he gritted his teeth angrily: "Fuck! What the hell is this little emperor doing? There's a big difference between us leaving on our own initiative and letting him design and leave passively! I can't swallow it! "

He Yuan said indifferently: "It's nothing, his city is not deep, so he may not be able to have the last laugh."

Xue Yunzhou knew what he meant, but he was still furious.

He Yuan raised his hand to touch the back of his head, leaned over to kiss the corner of his mouth, and said in a low voice, "It's okay, as long as we live well, everything will be fine."

Xue Yunzhou quickly held his face, smacked his lips heavily, and raised the corners of his lips at him.

He Yuan looked down at him, with a faint smile in his eyes.

Xue Yunzhou suddenly remembered something and asked, "Has Xue Chong been killed?"

He Yuan nodded: "Killed."

Seeing his indifferent expression, Xue Yunzhou guessed that the people sent by the Wangfu killed him, and said: "It seems that the people sent by Xue Yunqing and Gao Ziming will all be in vain. Xue Yunqing also said that he would cut off the heads of Xue Chong and Gao Ziming to pay homage to his deceased father. It’s going to come back in vain.”

He Yuan said: "He wants it? I asked someone to tell him the address. After Xue Chong died, he should have been buried on the spot. It is not difficult to find it. As for Gao Ziming, it depends on his luck."

"Then tell him, I think he has a deep obsession."

He Yuan quickly gave orders.

Xue Yunzhou sat on the ground, propped up his hands and held his head: "Second brother, do you find it strange..."

"what?"

"After Xue Chong was arrested, no one came to rob the prison, and he was dealt with halfway smoothly, but I always feel a little uneasy. You said that his subordinates didn't want to rescue him? What's even more strange is that Xue Chong You’re gone, and they’re still plotting you one after another, isn’t Xue Chong their boss?”

"Xue Chong is." He Yuan said firmly, "But there must be something hidden in this matter, but I can't figure it out for a while, so I can only arrange people to watch in the capital all the time."

Xue Yunzhou was most afraid of thinking about these conspiracies and tricks, and fell to the ground with a headache: "Forget it, we are going to Qingzhou anyway, and we don't know what Qingzhou is like."

"It's more desolate." He Yuan looked down at him, "But there is no shortage of food and clothing."

When Xue Yunzhou heard the word "desolation", his heart turned cold instantly: "Food and clothing are trivial matters, but in such a desolation, can we still support the people and raise soldiers?"

"Affordable. There are advantages and disadvantages in desolate places. At least the soldiers in Qingzhou will not be useless. At the beginning, Emperor Taizu started his family from the northwest. His father was the king of Jingxi in the previous dynasty. In the desolate place in the northwest, Tuli, who has been staring at him all year round, is similar to the situation we will face."

Xue Yunzhou approached him, hugged his thigh and smiled: "Second brother has confidence, so I have confidence. Anyway, I just hug my thigh! But I seem to smell a little bit of ambition... Hehehe..."

"What is ambition?" He Yuan pinched his chin, "I just want to live a good life with you."

Xue Yunzhou raised his face to look at him, and continued to smile: "Ambition depends on the definition of the word 'good'."

He Yuan looked at him, slightly hooked the corner of his mouth, and scratched under his armpit.

"Hahahahaha!" Xue Yunzhou couldn't help laughing when he scratched his itchy spot, and hurriedly rolled to the other side to avoid his hand, and soon rolled back to continue hugging his thigh.

There was indulgence in He Yuan's eyes, seeing him laughing so presumptuously, he couldn't help but rubbed his head again, then raised his eyes to look at the northern sky, only felt that the field of vision was vast, and his mood was unprecedentedly relaxed.

No matter what the future holds, at this moment, he feels that the decision to leave the capital is right.

Not long after, General Tian and General Guo returned, and He Yuan immediately calmed down and listened to their report on the results of the interrogation.

Although they encountered bandits this time, there were actually no casualties or losses. They were in a hurry and didn't intend to pursue the matter. The bandit leader obviously guessed this, so they cooperated and almost answered every question. .

General Tian said: "The leader of the bandits is Yan Guanyu. They occupy the mountain here as king. Almost every merchant who passes by will be ransacked by them. This is the first time he has missed."

Xue Yunzhou burst into laughter: "Yan Guanyu? Such an elegant name!"

General Tian was stunned for a moment, thinking about Yan Guanyu's rough appearance, he also laughed, shook his head and said: "He was originally from a good family background, but later he became a bandit after encountering difficulties. This time they set their sights on the princess early They saw that although the princesses were dressed simply, their faces did not show any weather. They were obviously pampered people. In addition, Song Quan and the others knew at a glance that they were martial arts practitioners, so they guessed that the identities of the people in the car were different. Generally, this is the decision to rob the rich and give to the poor."

He Yuan raised his eyebrows slightly: "Steal the rich and help the poor?"

General Tian nodded: "Those refugees are basically supported by them, but after all, they are hungry and full as bandits, and it is a bit difficult to support so many people, so this time I spent a lot of energy to rob the princess."

Xue Yunzhou was a little surprised: "Is this true?"

"Not sure." General Tian shook his head and looked at General Guo, "It depends on what the refugees say."

General Guo said: "The refugees come from the small villages around Pingcheng. Some of them were affected by the war, and some were left after the harvest was handed in. In short, they couldn't make it through. So they came to Pingcheng to seek a way out, but they didn't expect the gate of Pingcheng. The guards were so strict that they couldn't get in no matter what. When they were desperate, they met Yan Guanyu and others, and received their favor. After a long time, the two men merged together. divided each other, and gradually reached the current situation.”

He Yuan pondered for a moment after hearing this, and asked, "Are all of them here?"

"It's all here."

"There are still some on the mountain."

General Tian and General Guo spoke at the same time, then they were taken aback for a moment and looked at each other.

He Yuan raised his eyes: "It seems that Yan Guanyu is not telling the truth."

General Tian asked: "The lord wants to deal with him?"

"No need, you go and check again to see if this matter is really what they said. If it is true, they are forced to do so. Let's forget about this time. If there are other secrets, then let's talk about it. In short, People can't let go, check it out first."

General Tian and General Guo were surprised at the same time. Although they had already heard about He Yuan's transformation when they were in the capital, and felt a little bit of it along the way, it was the first time such an accident like this one happened. If he followed his original temperament, these people would I'm afraid the decapitation is already in a different place, and there will be no chance to find out what the truth is.

Why did the prince suddenly become so... normal?

He Yuan gave another order to General Guo: "Send someone to find out how many refugees are still around Pingcheng, contact the prefect of Pingcheng as soon as possible, and ask him to open a warehouse to release grain."

General Guo quickly responded, but the two armies were even more surprised. They turned their attention to Xue Yunzhou at the same time, secretly guessing that the change of the prince seems to have started around the time of marriage. Could it be related to the princess?

Xue Yunzhou met their gazes with a puzzled expression on his face.

Thinking of seeing the prince and concubine's affectionate appearance before, the two generals couldn't help affirming their guess again, and they admired Xue Yunzhou for a while.

Xue Yunzhou was inexplicably stared at by them, subconsciously raised his hand to wipe his face, looked at his hand again, found no dirt on his face, paused, and asked in doubt: "What's wrong with me?"

"It's okay, it's okay!" The two generals said in unison, and hurriedly retreated.

The investigation was almost done. Seeing that the sky was getting dark, He Yuan ordered the army to set up camp. When he was busy, Song Quan came over and said, "My lord, Mr. Tao, the prefect of Pingcheng, please see me."

Xue Yunzhou laughed when he heard this: "The magistrate of Pingcheng? He came to the door on his own initiative."

Because of the refugee matter, He Yuan obviously didn't like Master Tao, his eyes couldn't help turning cold, and he said: "One hundred thousand troops are stationed outside his city, if he doesn't inquire, don't be an official. What about people? "

"Wait outside."

"Call him in."

After a while, a middle-aged man whose figure was somewhat similar to He Liangcai's, but whose face was far less pleasing than He Liangcai's, walked into the camp. When he came in, he squinted his eyes and took a quick look around, then knelt down and kowtowed: "Tao, the prefect of Pingcheng Xinzhi kowtows to the prince and concubine."

He Yuan said lightly: "Get up."

Tao Xinzhi got up and stood with his hands down, and said with a smile: "I am very honored to hear that the prince passed by here. I am here to invite the prince to Pingcheng as a guest. I have prepared the food and wine. I also invite the prince, concubine and everyone to honor me!"

He Yuan just wanted to know about the situation in Pingcheng. After thinking about it, he didn't refuse: "Master Laotao is here."

Tao Xinzhi was overjoyed, and said again: "It's cold today, and it's even colder at night. You guys have slept in the open for so long, you might as well go to Pingcheng for a night's rest, so you can refresh yourself and continue on your way, right?"

He Yuan raised his eyes and looked at him.

The flattering smile on Tao Xinzhi's face suddenly stiffened, showing a little nervousness. The nervousness was not mixed with guilt, but purely a little scared. It must be the former regent's notoriety, which made Master Tao tremble with fear when facing him.

He Yuan turned to look at Xue Yunzhou: "Do you want to go?"

Xue Yunzhou nodded indifferently under Tao Xinzhi's surprised eyes, and said lazily, "That's fine."

They were not worried about the magistrate's tricks, after all, a hundred thousand troops were watching, and he wouldn't dare to do anything out of the ordinary if he had ten guts.

Tao Xinzhi exchanged pleasantries before leaving. He Yuan then settled the camp properly, and he, Xue Yunzhou and others accompanied by guards entered the city together. As soon as they arrived at the gate of the city, they saw Tao Xinzhi leading a group of people there in person. meet.

When it was time for dinner, Xue Yunzhou swallowed while looking at the dishes on the table, he couldn't help but feel admiration, leaned into He Yuan's ear and whispered: "This magistrate is a talent, he is thoughtful in every way, and there is nothing wrong with it." The place."

He Yuan said "hmm": "Just concentrate on eating and don't think about other things."

"Oh..." Xue Yunzhou bowed his head obediently, his gaze fell on the jug, and he said greedily, "I really want to drink."

He Yuan glanced at him lightly: "You pour a glass."

Xue Yunzhou: "..."

He Yuan picked up some food for him, and told him: "If you want to drink, when you arrive in Qingzhou, I'll let you drink to your heart's content."

Xue Yunzhou decided to turn his grief and anger into appetite, and stuffed a piece of meat into his mouth. Just after chewing and swallowing, his stomach suddenly churns. Before his brain could react, his body had already bent down instinctively.

He Yuan was startled, and hurriedly supported him: "What's wrong?"

Xue Yunzhou retched twice, raised his hand to wipe his mouth, shook his head and said, "It's okay, it's been simple for about a month, and I'm not used to these big fish and big meat."
