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

The situation of Qianzheng gradually stabilized, and there was no danger of his life. Bai Yu was completely relieved, and his mood became lighter.

"Why hasn't Yan Xun come back yet?" Bai Yu asked Chunyu Xuan.

Chunyuxie patiently said: "Although Boten was defeated, there were signs of Xiaoqu's main force moving to the north in the past two days. Xiaoqu and Boten are tribes related by marriage, so it's hard to guarantee that they won't be ready to move. So the general is a little busy."

Bai Yu didn't understand these things, so she said "uh" and said, "When the battle is over, you will be returning to Beijing."

"Yes. I have to go back and report back."

Bai Yu was a little disappointed, "Then, I will never see you again."

Chunyu Jue looked at him, and tentatively said, "Have you never thought about going to Shangjing?"

"Going to Beijing?" Bai Yu shook his head, "If you don't know the place, why go there?"

Yan Zun came here firstly to bring food and wages to the army, and secondly to pick him up by imperial decree.Baiyu didn't know about this yet, and Chunyu was hesitating whether to tell him in advance.

Bai Yu suddenly asked him, "General, did you follow Yan Xun when you were 17?"

"Yeah, it's been ten years."

Bai Yu calculated the time and said, "Then...has he ever been to a place called Zhouji before?"

Chunyu Xuan thought for a moment, and said: "I seem to have been there. About seven or eight years ago, I remember that the younger brother of the general had a dispute with his parents and left for Zhouji. The general just returned to Beijing to report on his duties, so he took my brother with him." Go get him back."

Bai Yu's eyes lit up suddenly.

"What do you ask for this?"

Bai Yu was a little joyful, and said, "I knew it was him!"

"Who is it?" Chunyu Xuan was at a loss.

When he just woke up, he was too weak to speak, and when he saw that he was in a strange place, he was a little flustered. Doctor Feng explained the situation to him, and he breathed a sigh of relief. He quickly exhausted his energy and fell into a deep depression again. go to sleep.

"My master is awake?" Bai Yu ran away after hearing Feng Junyi's words.

Looking at his joyful back, Chunyu Jue sighed slightly.

When Yan Xun returned to the camp the next day, Chunyu Yu told him about Master Baiyu, and said, "General, the governor of Cangzhou gave Qin Ran and Mu Fengyi food and grass, and also sent some to the Chinese army. The supplies for the troops are all military rations and charcoal, and the general has already arranged them. It's just..."

"Ok?"

Chun Yuzhen was a little embarrassed, "The general will go and see for himself."

What Chunyu was in trouble for was nothing but the two girls in pink dresses.They were standing at the door of the big tent, and the guard next to them was standing like a dog, but they squinted at the girl's willow waist from time to time, and then exchanged a look that you understand and I understand.

Just as he was holding back a smile and wanted to take another look down, a guard seemed to sense something, and turned his head suddenly, his hairs standing on end in fright, "Big, big, big general!"

"I don't want the eyeballs, so I dug them somewhere where no one is around." Yan Xun looked at them expressionlessly.

The two guards lowered their heads and did not dare to speak.

Chun Yujing followed behind and asked in surprise, "Who are these two women?"

The girls bowed their knees deeply, "Report to the general, my concubine is ordered by the governor to come and serve the general."

"..."

Chunyujing laughed out loud, covered her face and took two steps back, standing a little further away.

The girls are more juicy than the other, and I feel pity for anyone who is not.

Yan Xun said calmly: "Send them back."

The girls thought it was because they were not good enough to be disgusted by others, they blushed all of a sudden and were at a loss.

Chunyu Xuan said with a smile: "The official sent by Mr. Governor is still there, let him take you back."

In fact, some military camps have such a habit that cannot be stated explicitly, but is established by convention.Whenever a high-ranking general leads an army to go out for a short period of three to five months, or a long period of one or two years, and some needs cannot be met, the governors of nearby states and counties will be moved by the wind, nicknamed "Song and Dance Girl". , in fact, everyone knows what they are here for.

When Yan Xun led the army by himself for the first time many years ago, the governor sent the song and dance girl to him, but he sent him back immediately.After several visits, the governors knew that he was not good at this, and gradually stopped sending them away.

For some reason this time, the governor of Cangzhou made such a move again.

The military tent was occupied by Bai Yu for a long time, Yan Xun didn't intend to go in, just about to leave, suddenly remembered something, lifted the curtain and looked inside, then turned around and asked Chunyu, "Where's Bai Yu?"

There was no charcoal fire in the tents of the Chinese army, and the air was so cold.

Chun Yuxuan said awkwardly: "He, he said that since the two girls are here, it's inconvenient for him to disturb the general, so he just left."

"Where did you go?" Yan Xun asked immediately, "He was just sick, and it was freezing, so you let him run around?"

Chun Yuzhen had expected that Yan Xun would be angry a long time ago—although he might not admit it himself.He said: "No, he didn't run around, he was taken away by the second son."

"...Yan Zun?" Yan Xun's face darkened.

Chunyu Xing glanced at him cautiously, "Second Young Master said he's warm there."

·

"My name is Yan Zun, and I'm General Yan's younger brother." Yan Zun poured a cup of tea for Bai Yu and said, "You can also call me Rong Ling. That's my name."

Bai Yu nodded, "Thank you for helping me find my master, thank you for your hard work."

Yan Zun and Yan Xun are very similar in appearance, but Yan Ping'an was fighting outside, Yan Zun looks more youthful, with a youthful look on his face, he looks like a noble family son, not a fool. It's hard to say about the dandy, anyway, it looks like he hasn't suffered much.

Yan Zun waved his hand and said, "I didn't do anything to help, and I didn't find your master." He looked at Bai Yu's eyes as pure as spring water, and his voice softened unconsciously, "Bai Yu, this name sounds nice."

Bai Yu said, "I didn't call myself this name when I was young, but I changed it later. Before I was eight years old, my master always called me Li Guang, but now it's a small name."

Yan Zun said, "Sounds like a Taoist name?"

Bai Yu nodded and said, "My master is a Taoist priest, I was raised by him."

Yan Zun asked curiously, "Then why did you change your name later?"

Bai Yu took out a jade pendant from his bosom, "Because of this. Master said it was given to me by a very important person, so I will change my name to Bai Yu. It is also a memory of the person who gave me the jade pendant."

Yan Zun glanced at the piece of jade, and suddenly remembered something, and his mind buzzed.

He took a deep breath and asked, "This jade pendant...do you know who gave it to you?"

"Master said he was a very important person, but I didn't know who he was. I was still young at that time, and that person was also a child about my age."

Yan Zun stared, not recovering from the astonishment just now.

No wonder, the emperor asked him to pick up this little beauty in person.

He is actually the exiled prince of the late emperor!

Shocked, Yan Zun looked at him for a while, then suddenly said: "I just wanted to say, why do you look familiar to me?"

"is it?"

Yan Zun thought for a while and asked, "Did you grow up in Zhouji?"

Eight years ago, after Yan Zun and his personal servant were found out by his parents, they drove the servant away. He had a falling out with his parents and left home alone with some clothes and money.

Unfortunately, there was a famine that year, and he was such a young master who didn't know what to eat, and couldn't buy food even if he had money, so he almost starved to death on the road.

When passing by a broken Taoist temple, a long-bearded Taoist priest brought him a bowl of porridge and a steamed bun. Behind the Taoist priest was a young Taoist priest who was seven or eight years old, hiding behind the adults, watching timidly with big eyes. he.

The child was very good-looking, with big bright eyes, red mouth pouting up, and small hands like jade shoots, tightly clutching the adult's sleeves, as tender as a small cantaloupe full of juice.

He also wore a piece of white jade around his waist.

After giving him the food, the Taoist didn't ask for his money, and went back to the Taoist temple to sweep the floor.The little Taoist tugged at his sleeves and ran after him.

After finishing the porridge, Yan Zun wiped his mouth and stood up, standing at the entrance of the Taoist temple and waving to the little Taoist priest.

The little Taoist walked over hesitantly.

Yan Zun took out an ingot of gold from his pocket and stuffed it into his hand, "Give this to that Taoist priest, is that okay?"

The little Taoist waved his hands in panic, and said with a blushing face, "No, no, master said you can't ask for other people's money!"

Yan Zun liked his cute appearance very much, stretched out his hand and pinched his face, "Don't worry, I borrowed this from your master before, now come and return it to him."

The little Taoist thought for a while, put a candy in his hand, turned around and ran away with the gold.

Yan Zun looked at the candy in his hand, the corners of his mouth gradually raised.

Yan Zun had never suffered before, and his footsteps were slow along the way, he heard that Zhouji was the largest city nearby, and it was near the sea, so he went straight to Zhouji.

He has not seen the sea yet.

I didn't want to wait until Zhouji City, but saw two people tied up on the execution platform at the north gate.

Taoist priests and little Taoist priests.

Yan Zun was shocked, and hurriedly asked a crowd of onlookers, the woman said: "I heard that these two Taoist priests are thieves who stole a large ingot of gold from others! Tell me about these two thieves Taoist priests, their clothes are in tatters. How can there be so much money? It must be stolen! Damn it! Cut them alive!"

No wonder the people are angry, not to mention that stealing itself is hateful, not to mention that in this famine year, everyone is living a life of begging for life, and one ingot of gold can be exchanged for countless life-saving food .If someone really stole so much money from others at such a time, wouldn't everyone shout and beat him?

There was a buzz in Yan Zun's head, and he was suddenly dumbfounded.

He was born with a gold spoon in his mouth, and his ancestors have been high-ranking officials for eight generations, and his family has countless gold and silver.He never thought that an ingot of gold would actually lead to the death of an innocent person, nor did he think that the ingot of gold he gave away casually might not be earned by ordinary people in a lifetime.

The gold was indeed given by him, but his name was not written on the gold, and he would not answer if he called it. Even if he said it, it would be useless.

The woman's complexion was sallow from hunger, her hair was like withered grass, she hunched over and hugged a bit of grass root she dug in her arms, and said: "We will be beheaded at noon! Those people can go to mass graves to pick up dead human flesh to eat again!"

Hearing these words, Yan Zun trembled all over, he was completely anxious, and subconsciously ran to Zhouji Yamen.

Regardless of whether it is useful to say it or not, he will always try it, maybe he will meet a reasonable parent officer...

After running for a block, Yan Zun's footsteps gradually slowed down, and he suddenly discovered something.

The county magistrate has no proof, and can convict them only on the basis that "tao priests in tattered clothes should not have gold", and tie them to the execution platform to wait for execution, which shows that the parents are unreasonable.He wanted to kill two innocent people, maybe for that mere ingot of gold!

Yan Zun's face gradually darkened. At the age of sixteen, he suddenly saw the great good and the great evil of human nature. For a moment, his chest was like drinking ice and snow. In such a scorching hot day where no grass grows, his whole body unexpectedly grows. There was a slight chill.

Some people can give a bowl of porridge and rice to strangers during a famine without asking anything in return, while others kill others for a little money.Being the same person, why is there such a big difference?

Yan Zun ran back to the north gate, stood at the corner of the street and stared blankly at the execution platform.

The two people, one big and one small tied to the execution platform, were hung like this, exposed to the scorching sun, with their heads down, their clothes completely wet with sweat, and they remained motionless.

Yan Zun's fist was clenched and tightened, and he slowly stretched his hand behind his back, and drew out his saber.

This world is chaotic, and he splits it with a sharp blade.
