Prodigal Goro-kun

Outside the Mingde Gate at the northernmost end of Zhuque Street in Chang'an City, the Yan family, who were supposed to be led by Liang Cheng to return to Linxiang, gathered together. The young children stayed in the carriage, wrapped in winter quilts that Liang Cheng temporarily purchased from Luoyang. However, the children in the East Garden of Yan Mansion were just puzzled, while those in the West Garden were all panicked.

Yan Siren hugged his youngest brother with a worried look on his face.

Hearing that Brother Wu said that they would go back to Linxiang with Mrs. Yan to celebrate the New Year, he felt that something was wrong. The people from Xiyuan had all moved out of the Yan Mansion, and the blood relationship was broken. What are you doing with them?It's just that the third brother and the fifth brother spoke in unison, and Guanshi Liang was on the sidelines to help, even Mrs. Yan was fooled, so they got into the car in a daze.If Mrs. Yan hadn't recalled it halfway, they might have all arrived in Linxiang by now.

Yan Siren secretly opened the car window to look out, but he didn't want the cold wind to face him, forcing Yan Siren to close the window immediately.

In front of the heavily closed Mingde Gate, Mrs. Yan, Yan Fusheng and Liang Cheng stood facing the wind, waiting quietly.

The gatekeepers looked at each other, and then said to Mrs. Yan with some embarrassment: "Mrs. Yan, you see, our informants have already gone, but it's quite a long way from the imperial city to the gate of our city. They don't have that much time." It's coming soon, it's so cold, why don't you always wait in the carriage?"

Compared with other officials, these guards of the city are quite familiar with the Yan family. If they didn't have some friendship, they would have kicked them out long ago.It's just that in the middle of winter, it's not a problem for Mrs. Yan to stand in the wind like this.

The guards looked at Liang Cheng, but saw that Liang Cheng also looked helpless.

Mrs. Yan looked at the people in armor in front of her, cleared her throat, and said loudly: "I have no intention of breaking into the city, even with my bones, I can't do it. Don't follow me and blow in the north wind." Hurry up and find a warm place to go, but if I can't wait for my unfilial son, my heart will be uneasy, and I won't be able to get bored in that carriage, so I might as well blow some air to extinguish the fire."

"This..." Several soldiers who were sent to deal with the Yan family were embarrassed.

Liang Cheng took a step forward, took out two slings of money from the purse, put them into the hands of the leader, and said with a smile: "Please trouble me, we just wait here."

The few people hesitated when they saw Qian, and then said to Liang Cheng: "That's right! If the man of the Yan family comes out, let's let him come out and talk to a few of you. But don't let anyone know! There has been a major incident in Chang'an City, His Majesty personally ordered the city to be closed, if people know that we let people in and out, they will have to move their heads!"

"Thank you guys." Liang Cheng bowed and watched those people leave before he straightened up, retreated behind Mrs. Yan, and looked at the heavy city gate in front of them together with the two women from the Yan family.

After waiting for more than an hour, the three people heard the sound of horseshoes from far to near, followed by inaudible conversation, and after a while, someone ran to the city gate in a panic.

"Who's outside? Liang Cheng? Fu Sheng?" Yan Qiu'er lay down on the crack of the door and looked out, but couldn't quite see the faces of the people outside.

Madam Yan smashed her cane to the ground, and said angrily, "You bastard! It's your grandmother and I'm outside!"

Yan Qiuer was startled, and asked not too quickly: "Zu...why is Mrs. Yan outside? Don't catch a cold!"

As soon as Yan Qiu'er finished speaking, there was a loud "嗙" in his ear, someone kicked on the door, judging strength from this sound is definitely not something that Mrs. Yan can do.

Qin Jiu had already come to Yan Qiuer's side, when he heard the voice, he chuckled and said, "This must be Fusheng."

Mrs. Yan snorted coldly, and said, "Come out and talk! You hide inside furtively, do you still understand the rules?!"

Qin Jiu was taken aback, then touched his nose.It was the first time someone asked him if he knew the rules.

Yan Xintang bowed to Qin Jiu and apologized to Qin Jiu on behalf of Mrs. Yan.Qin Jiu smiled and waved his hands, not caring.

Yan Qiuer turned around and leaned against the city gate, and replied: "Madam Yan, please forgive me, this gate was closed by His Majesty's order, anyone who opens the gate will violate the emperor's order, so please be patient, Madam Yan. I don’t know why Mrs. Yan came back? If I don’t go to Linxiang again, I’m afraid it will be too late to prepare for the New Year, right?”

"Unfilial son!" Mrs. Yan smashed her crutch again, and roared angrily, "The Yan family has raised you for more than ten years, but you don't remember the rules of the Yan family? No one is missing! As long as the surname is Yan, all of them have to attend for Laoshen! Now Laoshen is short of two people!"

Did you come back because of him and Yan Xintang?

Yan Qiuer and Yan Xintang looked at each other in surprise, and then suddenly smiled warmly.

Yan Xintang moved and said: "Mrs. Yan, it's cold in the twelfth lunar month. Please take care of yourself, Mrs. Yan. You can go back to Linxiang with your siblings first. Qiu'er and I will go later."

"Who are you fooling?!" Mrs. Yan's roar suddenly escalated, and Yan Xintang's legs trembled in fright, and she almost fell to the ground.

Yan Xintang blinked and looked at Yan Qiuer blankly.This is what Mrs. Yan looks like when she gets angry?It's really... full of energy and a great body.

Yan Qiuer chuckled lightly and shrugged.It's quite common for Mrs. Yan to be hysterical, and he's no longer surprised by it.

"Tell me, what happened in Chang'an City?" Mrs. Yan seemed to have adjusted herself, and her tone was much calmer when she spoke again.

Yan Qiuer raised his eyebrows, and looked at Qin Jiu together with Yan Xintang.

This matter... can't you talk about it?

Sure enough, Qin Jiu frowned and shook his head.

Yan Qiuer understood, and said to Mrs. Yan outside the door: "Mrs. Yan, it's just a temporary chaos. When Mrs. Yan returns after spending the New Year in Linxiang, everything in Chang'an City will return to normal."

"What does that have to do with the old man? The old man just asked you what happened in Chang'an City at this moment? What put my two grandchildren in danger? What made the arrogant and confident Yan Wulang even have a perfect excuse? Didn't expect to send those of us who are in the way away in a hurry?"

Yan Fusheng, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly erupted when he heard Mrs. Yan's words, kicked on the city gate again, and roared angrily: "Chu Yi, you bastard!"

Qin Jiu's heart tightened suddenly with the muffled sound of the city gate, and he could only smile wryly in the face of Yan Fusheng's roar.

Seeing that the three people inside the city gate were silent, Mrs. Yan frowned, and after a while said, "Since you don't tell me, I don't ask, not everything in this world is what I should know. But His Majesty said that the city will be closed if it is closed. Is there enough food in the city? Is there enough firewood for the winter? Are there enough winter quilts? Most importantly, are there enough medicinal materials? How long will it take for you to finish this matter? Can the people here survive that time?"

Mrs. Yan hit the point with every sentence, and the expressions of the three people inside became more and more ugly.

As Mrs. Yan said, if the city is sealed for a long time, the supplies in the city will definitely not be enough.However, the closure of the city is necessary. Firstly, it is to prevent people from fleeing Chang'an and taking the epidemic elsewhere. Second, it is also to prove that the emperor is ready to fight against Huai'an King.

The epidemic spread so quickly, but the King of Huai'an and his party slipped out of Chang'an at such a clever timing. The word "slip" used by the emperor indicated that they left the city without the emperor's order. Under such circumstances, the epidemic seemed to be It is especially like a letter of war cast by the king of Huai'an to the emperor.

Therefore, when the emperor ordered the closure of the city, both Yan Qiuer and Qin Jiu wanted to solve the matter in the shortest possible time, in case the people in Chang'an City became trapped beasts, and those who could not wait for rescue would take it upon themselves. perished.

But they only thought about a quick solution, but they forgot that in order to solve this epidemic, they needed a large amount of medicinal materials, and this large amount did not refer to the type of medicinal materials, but the quantity of a single type.

Chang'an City is where the imperial city is located, and there are many dignitaries living there. There must be a lot of medicinal materials of all kinds, but the problem is that there may not be many medicinal materials that can cure the disease, or not enough to cure the whole city.

How to do this?

The moment Yan Qiuer thought of this question, he thought of the answer.

Use the Yan family.During this period, no matter what kind of material it is, as long as it is mobilized and escorted by the Yan family, there will be no problem.

What surprised Yan Qiuer was that Mrs. Yan would think of this, and was willing to let her cherished Yan family contribute to this effort.

With a sound of "dong", Mrs. Yan's crutch knocked on the city gate, followed by Mrs. Yan's slightly cold voice.

"Stinky boy, are you still muttering about your old age in your heart?"

Yan Qiuer was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "How dare I."

"Hmph! Is there anything in this world that you dare not do?" Mrs. Yan snorted coldly, and continued, "I will send Siren and the others back to Linxiang to escape, but Laoshen and Fusheng will not leave. Yes. Fusheng is still holding his breath, you guys, just wait until you come out and get beaten!

Let Liang Cheng go and call the stewards of the Luoyang Emperor's Mansion later, and we will set up camp outside the city.If there is anything missing or needed in Chang'an City, let people know. "

"Yan...Grandmother, you should go back with Siren and the others, as long as Fu Sheng and Guanshi Liang are here, it's cold, you..."

Before Yan Qiuer could finish speaking, Mrs. Yan's disdainful voice came from outside the door again: "Ah Sheng is not here, do you think who else can command all the Yan family members from all over Tianlan Kingdom? Mobilization, is it something that can be done with just a few words? If you, an unfilial son, are really worried about this old bone of the old body, get out quickly!

You child, either you just keep quiet, and when you get restless, you cause trouble for the old body all day long, and always fight against the old body. After only one year of work, the old body has been angered by you for several years!

Laoshen hates you, hates you for abducting my son and deviant, but such a big thing happened, but you are still thinking about Laoshen, this old bone, and these people from the Yan family, you are so annoying It's not thorough, how can the old man abandon you?If the old man really did such an ungrateful thing, how would he explain it to Ah Sheng?As for Ah Sheng's stubborn temper, if you really have troubles, do you still want our mother and son to break up and never communicate with each other?

The naughtiest child is always the easiest to be favored, Ah Sheng is, and so are you.One or two, don't worry.

Come on, in this cold day, I won't talk nonsense with you anymore, you don't need to worry about things outside the city, we can transfer more supplies than you.Be careful in everything, your life is not just your own now, think more about Ah Sheng. After finishing speaking, Mrs. Yan turned around and staggered towards the direction of the carriage.

Yan Fusheng turned around and helped Mrs. Yan to leave, leaving only a vicious sentence "I'm going to live".

Liang Cheng stayed outside the city gate and asked Yan Qiuer, "Does Lord Wulang have anything to tell you?"

Yan Qiuer took a deep breath, and said in a choked voice, "Whether you are escorting your brothers and sisters back to Linxiang or setting up camp outside the city, pay attention to safety, and transfer more people from Tang Guanshi. The drinking water in Chang'an City is probably full. Question, please be careful. In a few days, Yan Sheng and the fourth brother will probably be back." Speaking of this, Yan Qiu paused and turned to look at Qin Jiu.

Qin Jiu thought for a while, and said: "If Patriarch Yan and Yan Silang bring their soldiers back, they will let the army ambush around Chang'an City, and they are not allowed to act rashly without a signal from the city. Teng Yu will come back with Patriarch Yan and let Teng Yu He will know what I'm going to do as the leader of the army. Besides..." Qin Jiu took out the prince's order from his arms and stuffed it out through the crack of the door. "Put this token in Fu Sheng's hand first. Time, let her use it anyway. She is the concubine of the Ninth Prince, and she has used this status in advance." After speaking, Qin Jiuchong nodded to Yan Qiuer, indicating that he had finished what he wanted to say.

Yan Qiuer thought for a while, and then added, "Guard Liang, please don't let Yan Sheng and the fourth brother enter the city. He told Yan Sheng that the King of Huai'an and his followers are all outside Chang'an City, and I need them all." Out of town."

"Yes, Mr. Wulang, my subordinates understand." If King Huai'an was outside the city, the battlefield outside the city would be much more important than inside the city.

"Be careful. We are leaving. If you need to contact me, I will come here in person. Don't believe anything anyone says." Yan Qiuer winked at Yan Xintang and Qin Jiu, and the three left immediately to do what they said. Things to do.
