Princess [rebirth]

In the next few days, Dou Chun let Tuoba and the Hu people communicate with each other with whistles, and the whistles of the two of them were quickly deciphered by Dou Chun. In fact, the two didn't say anything, they just expressed their identities to each other first. Then the barbarian was a series of concerns. After the "conversation" in the past few days, there was no topic about "internal response" or "escape" at all.

Tuoba and his subordinates just asked each other about each other's physical condition every day. Most of the time Tuoba was silent, and Tuoba didn't always respond to the barbarian's whistle.

After a few days, Zhuo Jingfan said to Dou Chun: "You don't need to ask people to crack the whistle, Tuoba will not leak any information." The hot-headed contact with Tuoba is compared to the anxiety of his subordinates, but Tuoba is not affected at all, and often ignores the whistle of his subordinates.

If you want to come to Tuoba, you also know that he will not be changed to a new cell for no reason. Zhou thief must have heard the whistle of his subordinates, so he wants to try them. Although he is confident that it is not easy to crack the whistle, he is not He would be so stupid as to pass the news under the nose of the enemy, and besides, that subordinate's leg was broken, which would not help him escape in the slightest. Even if he had a plan in mind, he would not communicate with that subordinate.

Therefore, after the enthusiasm for acquaintance at the beginning, Tuoba began to be cold-hearted, and then the barbarian seemed to understand the meaning of Tuoba's silence, and his whole body became more depressed in an instant, and this time his depression came from the heart What came out was different from the previous pretend.

Zhuo Jingfan and Dou Chun did not waste time on that barbarian, but stared closely at Tuoba. They deliberately let the jailer guarding Tuoba show an opportunity, and wanted to wait for Tuoba to escape from prison and follow him. Follow the clues to find out the person who supported Tuoba. After all, it is not so easy for Tuoba, a barbarian, to walk in the Great Zhou Dynasty or leave the Great Zhou Dynasty.

At first, Tuoba didn't care about the jailer's omissions, he was very wary, and after being caught, he suffered a lot, and his body hadn't recovered well, so even if he wanted to leave, he was not in a hurry.And he had already guessed that Zhou Thief deliberately let him go, in order to use him to catch Hu Yanlv.Although Tuoba doesn't like Hu Yanlu, but the other party has helped Hu Guo a lot, just because the other party also hates Zhou thief deeply, Tuoba will not betray him, so no matter what he says, it is impossible for Zhou thief to find him Hu Yanlu, so Tuoba still eats, eats and sleeps, but there is no change at all.

Zhuo Jingfan and Dou Chun were also very patient, they firmly believed that Tuoba could not be willing to be left in Da Zhou, and would definitely find a chance to escape back to Hu country, now it depends on who can survive who!They all took the initiative. Even if Tuoba knew that the front was a trap, he would still have to get through it. Unless he wanted to die in Da Zhou, he would definitely find a chance to escape from prison. ...

Just when Zhuo Jingfan and Tuoba were more patient, Northwest couldn't wait any longer. After Fu Jue left with He Zheng's children, Mrs. He's death plunged the He family into chaos, and the He family had been lurking earlier. The family's internal thieves took advantage of the chaos to lure the barbarians from outside the pass into Fanyang City, which is the nearest to the northwest pass.

At the same time that Fanyang City in the northwest was being attacked violently, Quyang Pass in the north also ushered in a large army of Hu people. Quyang Pass was not more guarded by the He family army than Fanyang City, so although Fanyang City was attacked earlier than Quyang Pass, Qu Yang However, the pass was lost before the fall of Fanyang City. The generals stationed at Quyang Pass led their men to defend the border city. With the fall of Quyang Pass, none of the generals and soldiers guarding the city escaped, and they were all beheaded by the barbarians. .

The Hu people's sudden attack caught Da Zhou by surprise. Although the He family hurriedly dispatched troops to Fanyang City, but because the He family had internal thieves, the enemy's military situation and defense had already been controlled by the enemy. It can be said that the He family army was beaten before the enemy army. The army was defeated and retreated steadily. After a day and a night, Fanyang City was finally lost.

The Great Zhou Dynasty successively lost the important passes in the north and northwest. When the news came back to Kyoto, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were shocked. Dou Chun was even more furious in the early dynasty, and immediately appointed the prince of Jin as the Marshal of the army and horses to lead the army. Going to the northwest to fight against foreign enemies together with the He family army, Dou Heng was ordered to set off, and three days later he set out in full gear and left the capital with his soldiers and horses.

At the same time, Hu Yanlu was also leaving with Dou Heng's army.

Zhuo Jingfan and Dou Chun didn't know that the Nei Ying they were looking for had already left, and Tuoba who was planning to escape didn't know either. Then he left Kyoto with the army going on the expedition. ...

******

After a lot of effort, Fu Jue finally brought He Zheng's children back to Yuncheng quietly, but only after he returned to the princess' mansion did he realize that since Dou Wan went to Du's mansion to pay his respects to his birthday that day, there has never been another one. return.Fu Jue's heart trembled, and he hurriedly asked Hua Rong who was staying in the princess mansion.

Hua Rong hurriedly told what happened after Fu Jue left. Fu Jue became suspicious when he heard that Jiedu Envoy's wife had suddenly returned to Yuncheng and had been in contact with Dou Wan from time to time. Who is it, but I don't have much impression. This Beiting Jiedu envoy stationed in Tongzhou seems to be an old man when the first emperor. In addition, most of the officials outside Kyoto have not been transferred.

From this point of view, there must be something wrong with this Jiedu envoy, and the other party might be here for He Zheng's children.Fu Jue's face was solemn, and he ordered his subordinates to protect He Langjun and He Niangzi. Just when he was about to lead people to fight Du's mansion, the news of the loss of the Northwest and North Pass also came back to Yuncheng.Everyone in Yuncheng was panicked. After all, Yuncheng was not far from the northwest, and it happened to be in the middle of the northwest and the north. If the enemy troops from the northwest or the north continued to move south, Yuncheng would be among the counties that would bear the brunt.

Now it was a disaster, every household in Yuncheng began to pack their bags, and after a while, a bunch of fleeing carriages crowded the street, and many people on the side of the road hurried to the south gate with their bags on their backs. Yuncheng was in chaos for a while, and even the county magistrate himself was afraid of death, so he left Yuncheng in a hurry with his family and belongings.

At this time, the Du mansion was also in chaos, and Dou Wan was in a remote courtyard, unaware that the outside was already in chaos. Her personal female officer, Fu Rong, led the maidservants to guard her side, not for a moment. Dare to leave, they never expected that the Du Mansion would be so bold as to detain the eldest princess.When Dou Wan thought of that day, her heart was full of anger. As expected, Mrs. Jiedushi was uneasy and kind, and put medicine in her wine, which made her unconscious after drinking, so she could take the opportunity to keep herself in Du's mansion .

In the past few days, no one in Du's house showed up, except for a dumb woman who brought food regularly. At first Dou Wan didn't dare to eat, fearing that the Du family would mess with the food again, but Furong led the maidservants to replace it. After she tried the dishes and confirmed that there was no problem with the food, she reluctantly ate it for the sake of her health.

But today, seeing that the hour is already in the middle of the day, the woman delivering the food is still missing, and Dou Wan and the others can't get out of the courtyard. They don't even know that the outside is already in chaos. They waited and waited until it was noon and it was still outside. It was very quiet.Fullong sent a maid to look over and over again, but he didn't find the person who delivered the food. Just when Fullong wanted to send a maid to check again, Dou Wan said, "Okay, I want to come to Du's house to torment me." gone."

Dou Wan knew in her heart that the reason why the Du family detained her must have something to do with Mrs. Jiedushi, and the reason why Mrs. Jiedushi attacked her probably had something to do with He Zheng's sons and daughters. If so, Fu Jue should be back. Maybe the change in Du Mansion's attitude today has something to do with Fu Jue's return?

If the Du family thought that starving themselves for a meal or two would make her succumb, then they would look down on themselves too much. Dou Wan swore in her heart that she would never allow herself to be a threat or weakness to threaten Fu Jue. The Du family wanted to use her in exchange He Zheng's children?That is a dream!She, Dou Wan, is of royal blood no matter how bad she is, she still has the backbone and arrogance of a son, and she doesn't mind fighting to the death if necessary, even if she loses her life, the royal aura cannot be broken.

Just when she made up her mind to fight to the end, the servant girl who was guarding the gate of the courtyard rushed back. The servant girl looked pale and said in a trembling tone: "Princess, the Jiedu Envoy has brought people over here, servant girl Seeing that those people are not good at dealing with them, and they still have a thing in their hands, what should we do now?"

Dou Wan's heart trembled, and Mrs. Jiedushi did come, she pursed her lips, and said lightly: "Here I come, is this princess still afraid that she won't succeed? Since there are guests coming, just open the door to welcome her." As soon as she finished speaking, Fu Rong immediately led the maids to open the courtyard door and the door of the side room.When Mrs. Jiedushi led the people to arrive, she saw the courtyard with an open door. After stepping into the courtyard, she saw that the door of the main hall was also open, and Princess Huyang was wearing the dress that she attended the banquet that day, dignified and calm. sitting at the head of the hall.

Mrs. Jiedushi's pupils shrank slightly. The dignity and arrogance of Princess Huyang did not seem to be lost due to being under house arrest. At this time, the other party was sitting on it, making her almost think that this is the princess mansion, not her. The Du Mansion where the eldest princess was imprisoned.

"Isn't Mrs. Jiedushi coming in?" At this moment, the female officer next to the eldest princess stood in the door and asked lightly. Only then did Mrs. Jiedushi wake up, a strange look flashed across her face, Seeming to be annoyed at being shocked by the Eldest Princess's demeanor, Fu Rong at the door saw her expression, and contempt flashed in his heart. The humiliation that the Eldest Princess suffered today will be rewarded a thousand times in the future!

Furong suppressed the displeasure and resentment in his heart, and led Mrs. Jiedushi into the hall. Just when the people behind Mrs. Jiedushi were also entering the hall, Furong took a step forward and said coldly: "The princess only summoned the wife of Jiedushi, and other idlers are not allowed to enter."

A trace of anger flashed across the faces of the guards following Mrs. Jiedushi, but they just looked at Mrs. Jiedushi and didn't take the initiative to speak. Mrs. Jiedushi took a deep breath and said coldly: "Here It's the Du Mansion, not the Princess Mansion, the Eldest Princess chose the wrong place if she wanted to put the Princess's profile, I have the final say on my people, I can't let you, a servant, talk about whether you can enter or not!"

"Presumptuous! You..." Fullong immediately pulled her face down. She was about to reprimand Mrs. Jiedushi when Dou Wan's faint voice interrupted her, "Okay, what are you making so much noise about? Come on, I don't know what my wife has suffered, but she has to guard her body even in her own mother's house, so this princess will be considerate of her." Yu Bi cast a mocking smile at Jiedushi's wife.

Although Mrs. Jiedushi knew that Dou Wan deliberately provoked her, she still couldn't help being angry. With a cold face, she said dryly: "You don't need to stab me with words. If you still think you are superior Your eldest princess, then you are wrong, your life and death are in my hands now, if I let you live, you can live, if I let you die, even if you are the eldest princess, you will die."

"Extremely ridiculous! How can this princess's life be controlled by a bitch like you?! Don't say that you brought more than ten people here, even if there are ten more people, this princess will not take it seriously! Du Rufei, what do you have? Use all the tricks, just remember, if this princess escapes this calamity, I will definitely give you back a hundred times what I have suffered today!" Dou Wan said sharply, her tone was so solemn and forceful that it made Mrs. Jiedu envoy Hearing this, his heart tightened.

She was actually suppressed by Dou Wan's aura, and Jie Du made his wife even more annoyed. Dou Wan was younger than her, but at this moment, the other party's fearless aura gradually weakened her confidence. The idea of ​​making up his mind to torture the other party has begun to waver.

In the past, she never dared to imagine that one day she would put an eldest princess under house arrest, and even try to get the other party to reveal Fu Jue's whereabouts.But for the sake of her husband, she has to do it no matter how difficult it is. The gates of the northwest and the north have already been broken. For this day, no matter how hard the husband has worked, she cannot become a stumbling block to him, so she must exchange it with the eldest princess. He Zheng's pair of sons and daughters, so that the husband can contain the He family army.

And with the eldest princess, there is no fear that the son-in-law will not be able to take the bait. My husband once said that the eldest princess' son-in-law is very talented in marching formations. If he can recruit the other party under his command, it will also be a great help. The wife wants to detain the eldest princess in her hands.

Dou Wan naturally didn't know that the other party was not only targeting He Zheng's children, but Fu Jue was also the target of the other party, so as Fu Jue's wife, she couldn't escape no matter what, even if Fu Jue was not in charge of escorting He Zheng. A pair of sons and daughters, the other party will also capture her and use it to persuade Fu Jue to submit.

Just when Mrs. Jiedushi was confronting Dou Wan, Fu Jue had already led people into Du's mansion quietly.

Due to the chaos in Yuncheng, many people in Du's residence also wanted to leave Yuncheng. Although Du Rufei persuaded others, the old lady did not buy her account, so she went to negotiate with Dou Wan before Du Rufei went. At that time, the old lady had already ordered people to pack their bags and insisted on leaving the house regardless.

Du Rufei's Aye has always been afraid of this old wife. The old lady said that she was going to leave the house, but he couldn't stop it even if he wanted to. When the wall came in, although Du Rufei persuaded the Du family, many servants took advantage of the chaos and left. After all, in the face of the disaster, everyone wanted to survive. Still able to leave?

So Fu Jue and his party climbed over the wall and came in, but no one saw it. Fu Jue was sure that the Du mansion must be in chaos, so he dared to climb over the wall in broad daylight.After he led his men into Du's residence, he began to look for Dou Wan's whereabouts. According to previous inquiries, Dou Wan seemed to live in a remote courtyard, so Fu Jue searched for remote corners as soon as he entered Du's residence.

Soon, he found the courtyard where Dou Wan was, and when he led the people to rush in, he just heard a strange voice say: "Don't talk big, Dou Wan, now that you are in my hands, I want you Just one sentence is all you need to kill, I think you should put away your princess temper, otherwise you will annoy me, but there will be no good fruit to eat."

Hearing this, Fu Jue exploded with rage, where did this short-sighted guy dare to threaten the eldest princess? !Therefore, the others arrived before the call, "Presumptuous! Who gave you the guts to call the eldest princess by her name?!" He rushed into the hall after shouting, his sudden appearance shocked everyone present up.

"Who are you?! How dare you trespass into Du's mansion!" Du Rufei quickly came to her senses. As soon as her words fell, the guards she brought stepped forward to arrest Fu Jue and his party. How could the people brought by Du Rufei be able to beat Fu Jue's men? Fu Jue's men were all fierce generals who followed him to quell the Yong'an Rebellion, and beat Du Rufei's men in a few seconds Get down.

Seeing that her people were subdued, Du Rufei's face was extremely ugly. She raised her eyes and stared at Fu Jue, the unexpected guest. Just as she was about to speak, Dou Wan spoke before her, "Give her mouth to Ben. The princess is blocked, I don't want to hear her talk anymore!" After speaking, her maid immediately rushed forward, holding Du Rufei's shoulders from left to right, and at the same time, Fu Rong pulled out a veil from her bosom and rolled it into a ball Then stuffed it into Du Rufei's mouth.

"Are you okay?" Fu Jue had time to look at Dou Wan who was sitting on it, and found that the other person's complexion was fine, but his face was a little haggard, and he finally let out a sigh of relief.

"It's all right, thanks to the son-in-law arriving in time." Dou Wan said with a smile, Du Rufei's eyes widened instantly, it turned out that Cheng Yaojin who was killed halfway was Fu Jue, the son-in-law.It's no wonder that Du Rufei couldn't recognize each other. Not long after Fu Jue arrived in Yuncheng, he set off for the northwest. After running around for days, he became a little embarrassed, so Du Rufei never thought that such a slovenly and scruffy gentleman was the son-in-law.

At this time, one of Fu Jue's subordinates walked into the hall quickly and said to Fu Jue: "Master, the people in Du's residence are preparing to leave. We can wait for them to leave before escorting the princess back to the residence."

"Well, that's fine." Fu Jue nodded, and then waved his hands to let his subordinates drag down all the guards tied to the ground, leaving Du Rufei alone in the hall.

"Princess, what should I do with her?" Fu Jue pointed to Du Rufei and asked Dou Wan.

"Bring her back to the princess mansion. I have been honored by her hospitality these few days. I should repay what the princess says." Dou Wan said with a smile, but the smile didn't reach his eyes. Du Rufei dared to put her under house arrest, and Being so rude to her, she couldn't let him go no matter what.Kuang Du Rufei, as the wife of the Jiedu Envoy, did such a thing, and the Jiedu Envoy could not get away with it. Du Rufei could think of using her to threaten Fu Jue, wouldn't she use Du Rufei to threaten Fu Jue in turn? Jiedushi?

So Fu Jue and Dou Wan left with Du Rufei and her guards after the people in Du's mansion left. ...

Dou Heng received the imperial decree and was leading the army to the northwest. As he was on his way, news of the Hu people taking advantage of the situation and going south continued to come in. However, the He family army blocked the northwest, so the Hu people stopped in Fanyang City, but the north did not. Optimistic, after the Hu people broke through the Quyang Pass, they went all the way south, and they were like breaking through. They were about to hit the county town near Yuncheng, so the He family hurriedly sent troops to the north to support them.

Fortunately, the He family's army arrived in time and stopped the Huren's footsteps outside Xiangcheng in the north of Yuncheng.It's just that the He family's army can't last long. If there is no reinforcements, it's only a matter of time before the Hu people take Xiangcheng.

Both Xiangcheng and Yuncheng belong to Yunzhou, and are under the jurisdiction of Beiting Jiedushi. It stands to reason that Beiting Jiedushi should send troops to Xiangcheng. There was no news from Tongzhou at all, let alone sending troops to defend against foreign enemies.

Fu Jue already knew in his heart that there must be something wrong with this Beiting Jiedu envoy, otherwise why would his wife go to Yuncheng and arrest Dou Wan, all for the sake of He Zheng's children.But he didn't know that the Beiting Jiedu envoy not only wanted He Zheng's children, but also wanted to recruit him under his command. If Fu Jue heard this, he would definitely laugh a few times. This Beiting Jiedu envoy is simply a dream. What kind of aristocratic family is it? As the eldest grandson of the Fu family, how could Fu Jue join forces with traitors?

Because Fu Jue had expected that the Beiting Jiedu envoy would not send troops, so he wrote two letters early in the morning, one sent back to the northwest to let He Zheng know what to do, and one sent back to the capital to ask the saint for help.At the same time, he led the original subordinates, as well as the subordinates sent by the saint later, together with Zhengren who stayed in Yuncheng, vowed to guard Yuncheng and the Princess Mansion.

He wanted to send Dou Wan and He Zheng's children away first, but Dou Wan said: "The world is in chaos at this time. It is safer for me to leave than to stay in Yuncheng. At least you will protect me in Yuncheng. The Dushi must have sent someone to ambush on the road long ago, I am a weak girl, how can I get back to the capital safely?"

Dou Chun felt reasonable after hearing this, but he was worried that if Xiangcheng was broken, the next target of the Hu people would be Yuncheng, and if Dou Wan stayed in Yuncheng, he might be distracted. Didn't it put Dou Wan in a dangerous situation?Therefore, he still wanted Dou Wan to take the child away first, even if he didn't return to the capital alone, at least he should stay far away from Yuncheng.

Just when Fu Jue and Dou Wan were arguing over whether to leave or stay, the news of Xiangcheng's fall came.Fu Jue was shocked, and no matter what Dou Wan said, he forcefully stuffed the other party and He Zheng's children into the carriage, and then sent a confidant and several skilled guards to escort her out of Yuncheng.

Fu Jue watched the carriage disappear outside the city gate, and sighed in his heart, if Yuncheng could no longer be defended, he would go to join Dou Wan, and he was staying in Yuncheng at this time, just wanting to do more for Dou Heng and He Zheng Just buy some time, otherwise, if the Hu people go all the way to the south, I don't know how many people will be sacrificed and how much property will be lost.
