The King of Liang, the feudal lords outside the town, and the generals inside

Yan Xun sat up straight suddenly, "This is unbelievable."

Chun Yuxuan said slowly: "It was the emperor who told the last general. The emperor said that when Empress Shuyuan knew that the queen mother would never let her go, she was determined to die. But if she died, the two princes would be left behind." In the hands of the Queen Mother, she will definitely not live long. So, she..."

When Empress Shuyuan was pregnant, the pulse of the twins had been deliberately concealed by the late emperor.When she gave birth, no outsiders were alarmed, and it was her personal maid who quietly delivered the baby for her.She gave birth to two princes, but she killed one of them with her own hands, and showed the body to the Queen Mother.And the other one was quietly sent out of the palace.

"General Mu said that Bai Yu looks very much like Empress Shuyuan."

"The jade pendant on Bai Yu's body was given to him by the emperor when he was a child."

"This jade pendant, the emperor also has a similar one, which was carved by Emperor Jingrang himself. Emperor Jingrang didn't know how to carve jade, so the patterns on it were very rough."

Chunyu Xuan said word by word: "So, General, Bai Yu is the son of the late Emperor and Empress Shuyuan, and the Emperor's younger brother."

There was a bang in Yan Xun's head, and his scalp was numb as if being pricked by a sharp needle.Hearing the foreshadowing earlier, his heart was already beating wildly, but the dull thunder of Chunyu's conclusion made him lose his mind even more.He frowned a few times, and burst out a few words, "Does Baiyu know?"

"Shouldn't know, otherwise he would...not be content with the status quo." Chunyu Xuan said tactfully.

Yan Xun fell silent, his eyes were sharp, fixed firmly on Chunyu Xuan.

"You knew these things a long time ago, and you found the white jade first. Before I captured Youwu, you sent a letter back to Shangjing to tell the emperor, and the emperor gave me a secret decree to send the white jade. Isn't it? "

Chunyu Xuan lowered his head and said, "Yes. The search for Baiyu is also a secret decree from the emperor to the last general. The emperor only knows that Baiyu is near Saibei, and it happens that the last general is going out with the general, so the emperor entrusts this task to the last general. I didn't tell you before. General, he is thinking that the general is busy with the war and has no time to spare. Besides, the less one person knows about this matter, the better it will be for Bai Yu."

"Then that pigeon from before was used by you to send the letter back to Beijing." Yan Xun asked, "Why did you send the letter to the prime minister instead of directly to the emperor?"

Chunyu Xuan said: "It was the emperor's order. He said that once there was news of Baiyu, he would send a letter to the prime minister. He was afraid that the pigeon would fly into the palace and be discovered by the queen mother. But the general forgot to tell the prime minister not to release the pigeon again. That’s why I missed the stuff, and the general misunderstood.”

Yan Xun pondered for a long time and said: "If he goes to Shangjing to meet the Empress Dowager, among other things, the Empress Dowager will hate him to death when she sees his face."

Chun Yuxuan said: "The emperor has been looking for Bai Yu for many years. Now that he wants the general to send Bai Yu back alive, he also specially sent the Second Young Master to pick him up. Presumably he will not be harmed by the Queen Mother."

"The empress dowager is different from ordinary women in the harem. The emperor has been in charge of the government for 16 years before she grew up and ascended the throne. Her scheming methods cannot be regarded as mere women in the palace." Yan Xun paused and said. , "What's more, the queen mother is the emperor's biological mother, and the emperor cannot disobey her too much."

Yan Xun thought of something, and his eyes turned colder, "Zhu Sha is the queen mother's confidant. A few days ago, she led someone to rob Baiyu, and most of Baiyu's master fell into her hands. It seems that the queen mother also heard After hearing these rumors, she was sent outside to investigate whether there is really a prince living outside."

Chunyu Xuan thought about it and felt that something was wrong, and was startled, "Zhu Sha has even found Bai Yu's home, and is still lying in wait for Bai Yu to go back. She must know that Bai Yu is in our barracks. But how did she know?" "

Yan Xundao: "The first snowman I made in Gao Yidui didn't have any dead people, it was just a human skin mask, made according to one of the two blacksmiths I secretly imprisoned. There is something wrong with the shoe, I don't know Which of the two blacksmiths is the problem, or are they both gangs. They both said they were wronged, so I just pretended to kill one of them. If this one is the insider, and I happen to kill him and release the other , the mastermind will think he has confessed everything; if this one is innocent, and I kill him, the mastermind will think that the mole has fooled me, but the mole has disappeared at this time; if the two They were all insiders, but I only killed one, and the mastermind would think, why did I only kill one? Did the other confess?"

As Chunyu Xuan listened, he became more and more shocked.He originally thought that Yan Xun used such a creepy method to make an example of others to vent his anger, but he didn't expect that he had so many plans.

"No matter how powerful these two blacksmiths are, they are nothing more than craftsmen who change horseshoes. More ghosts are still hiding in my barracks. So no matter what the truth is, the mastermind will be flustered and can't help but let the They went to inquire about the whereabouts of the two blacksmiths. From then on, all soldiers who care too much about the two blacksmiths will definitely have problems."

Yan Xun got up and found a roster from a pile of documents, "Sure enough, on the day Baiyu was rescued, Gao Yi's men captured eight people, and they belonged to a secret organization called 'Stone Scorpion'. Listen Have you ever said that?"

Chunyu Zhen recovered from the shock and shook his head in a daze.

"I'm not sure if this organization has anything to do with Cinnabar, but at least, if someone can put an undercover agent in my military camp, then Cinnabar can definitely do it too. In my opinion, Stone Scorpion and Cinnabar should be two different forces. Zhu Sha works for the Empress Dowager, she is self-confident, she should disdain to have anything to do with this kind of Jianghu organization. Besides, the purpose of Stone Scorpion is to kill me. If I die, this army will be finished, and the border will be in chaos , The mountains and rivers are restless. As the empress dowager, this should not be what she wants to see."

Chunyu Xuan thought for a while and asked, "When the general rescued Bai Yu that day, didn't he see Zhu Sha himself?"

Yan Xun shook his head, "No. Bai Yu saw her before she was locked in the cage. She probably ordered her subordinates to escort Bai Yu away after that. She herself had other arrangements."

Chunyu Xuan smiled helplessly, "It seems that the general really doesn't trust me anymore. I don't know anything about these things."

Yan Xun's eyes fell on him, and then moved away lightly, his eyes were numb.

This was something Chunyu Xuan expected, he sighed, got up and said, "The final general will leave."

"I'll take care of the pigeons for you. Chunyu Jing can't take care of them well. You can go to the stables too. You don't need to hide." Yan Xun's voice came from the moment he stepped out the door.

Chunyu Xuan paused, showing a nice smile.

To their surprise, one night a few days later, Bai Yu's master appeared under a tree outside the barracks.

"General Chunyu, the sergeant who just patrolled found a man outside the camp. He was seriously injured and half dead. I don't know how to deal with it."

Yan Xun was not in the camp, so they had to report to Chunyu Xuan.

Chunyu Xuan asked, "What kind of person?"

The sergeant said: "A man, about fifty, of medium build, with a goatee, wearing a Taoist robe..."

Chunyu Xuan took a breath, and hurriedly said, "Hurry up and bring him in!"

In order to find his master, Bai Yu once described the appearance of his master to Chun Yuxie.Yan Zun had already followed Yan Xun's order to take people out to look for it, but unexpectedly, it took no effort at all.

The one lying outside the gate of the barracks was indeed Bai Yu's master, the undisciplined one.He has been tortured until now, and he is already on the verge of dying.

When Bai Yu got the news and rushed over, her legs softened and she knelt on the ground on the spot.

Some of the wounds on his body were still oozing blood, some were half healed, and some were inflamed, with festering and festering clearly visible.There were whiplashes, iron burns, knife wounds, needle sticks, and the smell of hot pepper water on the clothes.The most serious thing was the hands. The ten fingers were riddled with holes, the nail caps were full of bruises, and the palms seemed to be crushed by heavy objects, and they swelled out of shape.

Even though Chun Yuzheng was used to torture and killing, now that he was injured, he couldn't help frowning and couldn't bear to look carefully.

Cui Zheng's clothes were already stuck to his body with blood, and he couldn't tear them off at all. Doctor Feng cut the clothes little by little, and melted the blood with warm water before he could take off the clothes.

Bai Yu was at the bedside helping Dr. Feng to clean up the wound slowly.From time to time, Chunyu Xuan looked at Bai Yu with a worried expression, afraid that he would not be able to bear it.But Baiyu was very calm and didn't even shake her hands.

After all the wounds were covered with medicine and bandaged, and Qianzheng wiped his body clean, more than an hour had passed, and Bai Yu immediately took the medicine to fry again.Chun Yuxuan asked Doctor Feng Jun to take care of Gu Haozheng, and hurriedly followed.

Bai Yu was a little too calm.

He put the medicinal materials into the medicine pot, added water and put it on the stove. After lighting the firewood, his knees softened and he collapsed on the ground, the blood on his face faded little by little.

Chunyu Xuan hurried over and squatted beside him, "You..."

"Why?" Bai Yu murmured, "Why did you treat my master like this?"

Chunyu Xuan really felt distressed.He had a younger brother who died of illness when he was a teenager, and seeing Bai Yu's appearance now, his heart suddenly twitched.

Bai Yu suddenly clutched his wrist firmly, and asked repeatedly with wide-eyed eyes: "My master won't die, will he? He won't die."

Chunyu Xuan said in a deep voice, "No, absolutely not."

Bai Yu finally couldn't help crying, distraught, "I have no parents, only such a relative! What are they going to do, why don't they come after me!"

The medicine pot was gurgling and boiling, and Bai Yu kept wiping away tears while fanning the fire.Not only because of Master's injury, but also because of all the grievances, bullying and trampling I have suffered since childhood.

Chunyu Xuan stroked his back gently, and quietly accompanied him beside him.

He was suffering from a high fever all night, and Bai Yu sat by his bed with red and swollen eyes and watched over him, refusing to rest no matter what.

His own illness was just right, and at this moment he was like a half-sized bird that had lost its nest, curled up with not plump feathers, and still had to brace himself to show his strength.

"He shouldn't have been wronged so much." Chunyu Xuan murmured.
