Chapter 168[168]
Celebrating the Year of the Fish: [[-]]
Since Wei Jingrui left, Zhou Jinyu and Wei Huanian have often bickered, and their lives are dull and interesting.
After that, Wei Jingrui's pigeon messages were often received in the valley.
He sent it back in Yuzhai, Zhou Jinyu thought it was funny, this kid really went to find that girl Awan.
Wei Jingrui said that he was dealing with matters in Yuzhai at this time, but only a few words were mentioned in the letter, saying that the old village owner of Yuzhai passed away, and Awan was her only daughter with two older brothers. , the position of the village lord is passed on from female to male.
Wei Jingrui wrote in a letter saying that Awan, who was supposed to inherit the position of village lord, directly wanted to "force the palace" because several side branches wanted to take the opportunity to seize power. Zhou Jinyu was still at ease with Wei Jingrui's kung fu. adversary.
But the people in Yuzhai are good at using Gu, Zhou Jinyu was worried that he would be plotted against after reading the letter, so he wrote back a letter asking him to be careful in everything, and once the matter in Yuzhai was settled, he could go back to the valley with Miss Awan Come.
However, Wei Huanian babbled in the letter, telling Wei Jingrui to remember to wear more warm clothes, to remember to eat on time, and to remember to write back frequently as the weather was getting colder.
In the case of Wei Huanian to Wei Jingrui, Zhou Jinyu has completely seen the words that a son travels a thousand miles and a mother is worried.
Wei Jingrui's reply came back very quickly, and there was only one line of beautiful small words: my son is fine, don't read it.
Zhou Jinyu showed Wei Huanian the letter: "Look, I'll just say he'll be fine."
Wei Huanian was still worried about him, so Zhou Jinyu analyzed: "According to his temperament, if he encounters any difficulties, he will definitely sneak back early. Since he is willing to stay there, it means that he will be able to handle this matter properly. You don’t have to worry about things, you always have to think of the best in everything.”
Wei Huanian could only comfort himself like this, nodded and said, "I'll go prepare breakfast."
Zhou Jinyu stopped her, and immediately put on a small apron obediently, and walked towards the firewood room, saying: "It's my turn to prepare today, you should rest, I went outside to buy a few taels of good tea yesterday, you can try it first Whether it tastes good or not, it may last for a while."
Wei Huanian boiled water and started making tea.
In fact, Zhou Jinyu didn't say anything, she went out to the market in the past few days, and some merchants who came to the market said that the world was in chaos outside.
Because of the strict laws imposed by Emperor Tianyuan, riots broke out everywhere in the world, and rebellion was everywhere.
The rebel army burned, killed and looted everywhere, that is to say, this place is located in a remote area, and it is a remote area, so it has not been affected.
Zhou Jinyu's impression of Tianyuan Emperor Wei Tianlin was still that of a young man who pretended to be cold in front of that person at that time, and the officials were afraid, but when facing her, he would smile shyly and ask her for advice.
It is really difficult to connect with the cruel and benevolent emperor of the Jin Dynasty who executed ministers at every turn and acted radically in the merchant population.
When she was leaving that year, Emperor Tianyuan once mentioned to her about the New Deal.
At that time, Zhou Jinyu just reminded him based on his own thoughts that everything should be done step by step, and don't think about swallowing a big fat man in one bite.
She just told him based on her understanding of the reforms of the past dynasties that the implementation of the New Deal should not be rushed.
At that time, Emperor Tianyuan just laughed off her answer and said: "Zhen will seriously consider Zhou Qing's words."
Looking at it now, Emperor Tianyuan obviously did not recognize her at that time.
After all, he implemented the New Deal, and after all, he still made the world a mess, and the people complained everywhere.
When people complain together, it means that the world is going to be chaotic.
Zhou Jinyu never imagined that this incident would come so quickly.
After a while, Wei Huanian had already prepared breakfast. It was a plate of hot steamed buns and a small bowl of porridge.
It's winter now, and the steamed buns are placed outside, so they won't deteriorate under the influence of cold air. When you need them, you can just take them in from the outside and put them in a pot to heat them up.
Regarding breakfast, Zhou Jinyu had the same attitude as Wei Huanian, breakfast was very important and must not be sloppy.
Zhou Jinyu absent-mindedly drank two bowls of porridge and two small buns, and she was a little full.
Wei Huanian put down the chopsticks in his hand, looked at Zhou Jinyu on the opposite side, and asked, "What's wrong with you? Why are you so restless?"
Zhou Jinyu endured it, and finally did not tell her the news he heard outside.
After all, no matter what Wei Tianlin did, he was always the brother of Wei Huanian's mother and compatriots.
As the eldest sister, she must be sad when she finds out that her brother has suddenly committed a crime and caused the world to boil with dissatisfaction.
Zhou Jinyu originally planned to keep it a secret.
After all, even if Emperor Tianyuan was crusaded by the rebel army of the people's family, Yan Zhonghe was in the court, and Zhou Jinyu knew about Yan Zhonghe. Apart from being a single-minded person who could only "follow orders", he was very good at leading troops in battle. It is indeed a good hand.
For these years, Yan's army has been stationed at the frontier, and the Khitan dare not invade again.
The sons of the Yan family are all heroes, loyal to the emperor and patriotic, standing upright, loved by the people and trusted by Emperor Tianyuan.
Zhou Jinyu originally thought that the rebel army would be wiped out soon, and then Emperor Tianyuan would realize his mistake and start to reverse the situation.
However, one month later, when Zhou Jinyu was watering the flowers in the yard, she received a letter from Feige. She originally thought it was from Wei Jingrui, so she opened it expectantly.
Unexpectedly, it was not Wei Jingrui's family letter, but news from Chang'an.
It was written by Zhou Zimu, the current head of the Zhou family.
It said that the rebel army had already invaded Chang'an and began looting wantonly in Chang'an City.
The reason why the rebel army was able to enter the city smoothly this time was because Yan Hao, the main guard of the city, opened the city gate and let the leader of the rebel army, Zhao Hai, enter the city. Down.
But this time, the guarding general of Chang'an City who let the rebel army into the city, named Yan Hao, was the eldest son of Yan Zhonghe, and now the eldest son of the Yan family.
Zhou Jinyu never expected that the Yan family would turn against him.
The letter also said that now all the Zhou family has left Beijing, and they fled to Shu along with some exiled people in the city.
Zhou Jinyu held the letter, feeling anxious and anxious. She continued to look down, but saw a piece of news that made her almost unsteady.
It is said that the rebel army invaded Zhou's house, and one of the leaders of the rebel army, Feng Weizhi, ordered people to kill Liu Shi, her aunt.
Zhou Jinyu's brain suddenly buzzed, and a mouthful of bright red liquid splashed out of his mouth uncontrollably.
When Wei Huanian entered the room, he saw Zhou Jinyu's grief-stricken look.
The bright red liquid splashed onto the yellowed letter paper, and the teacup in Wei Huanian's hand fell to the ground with a clang.
She quickly supported Zhou Jinyu who was on the verge of falling, and asked anxiously, "What's wrong? What's wrong with you!"
With trembling hands, Zhou Jinyu handed the family letter to Wei Huanian.
Wei Huanian took it and read it from top to bottom, his face instantly turned pale.
Zhou Jinyu didn't know whether to cry or laugh.
In the past few years, she and Wei Huanian lived in seclusion in the mountains. Zhou's family knew where she and Wei Huanian lived in seclusion. Zhou Zimu would often fly pigeons to send letters, and his concern for them was all in the letters.
But the Liu family rarely received any letters.
Zhou Jinyu complained to Wei Huanian at the beginning, saying: "Why doesn't Auntie refuse to send me a letter, saying something that she thinks about me."
Wei Huanian just smiled and comforted her: "Since Mother doesn't want to write letters, why not just write to her."
Every time at this time, Zhou Jinyu said angrily: "No! She doesn't care about me, what should I write to her?"
Zhou Jinyu even felt like a jerk, all these years, when she was in the Zhou family, the Liu family had always favored Zhou Linger and the others.
But her biological daughter was not taken seriously.
But as the days passed, Zhou Jinyu gradually began to think about it. Liu Shi also had her difficulties in the Zhou family.
But maybe it's because of habit, Zhou Jinyu never mentioned Liu's family much in his reply to Zhou's family.
And Liu Shi also seemed to be angry with her, and would not write a letter to her personally.
Finally one day, Zhou Jinyu finally received a letter from Liu Shi, but the letter didn't mention her at all.
It's just that sister Ling'er gave birth to a fat boy, and the whole family is beaming.
Zhou Jinyu could feel Liu's joy in those handwriting.
Although Zhou Jinyu was happy that Sister Ling'er had given birth to a son, but because Liu's family still ignored her, the trace of resentment that had subsided in her heart began to fill her heart again.
But now, why is that person gone?
That strong woman who beat her with a whip at every turn, who had suffered for most of her life and buried everything silently in her heart, no matter how much pain she suffered, she gritted her teeth and carried it through, why did she disappear?
Zhou Jinyu clutched his heart in pain.
It was as if a big hole had been broken in his chest that could no longer be repaired, tearing, screaming, and complaining.
Wei Huanian was panicked by her appearance, he hugged her in a panic, patted her on the back lightly, and comforted her in a low voice: "Don't be afraid... Be good, don't be afraid, you still have me."
Zhou Jinyu raised his head dully, looked at Wei Huanian, and murmured, "I don't have a mother anymore, and I will never have a mother again."
Wei Huanian just hugged her and whispered, "I know."
Zhou Jinyu burst into tears.
His chest rose and fell violently, and he could barely breathe.
She hated herself why she didn't have a good talk with that eccentric woman before she left.
Even if you can't meet each other, it's good to write more letters.
However, she didn't.
She didn't!
Zhou Jinyu pushed Wei Huanian away, and she came to the bed, under the pillow, and found the letters that Liu Shi wrote to her, which she had kept carefully all along.
Until now, she didn't want to understand.
It turned out that what she had done to Liu Shi in the past was not resentment.
Instead, I think, A Niang, I am your biological daughter.
Why can't you show that you love me more?
How much she longed for Liu's to be fair to her. If Liu's treatment of her was the same as that of Ling's sister, staying by the bed when she was sick, hugging her when she was sad, and coaxing her, what would she do? As for being angry with Liu Shi for so many years.
In fact, she has always been jealous of sister Ling.
Because, Sister Ling robbed her mother.
Robbed his only aunt.
But now, A Niang is gone.
Celebrating the Year of the Fish: [Second update]
Zhou Zimu's letter said, let Zhou Jinyu be careful in everything. Now that the rebel army is in full swing, Chang'an City is already in chaos, and all the people who can escape have fled.
Those who are unable to escape can only wait for the rebels to kill at will.
What Zhou Zimu meant was that the world is in chaos now, and he told Zhou Jinyu not to leave here, the most important thing is to save his life.
However, Zhou Jinyu's location was further south than Shu, with several cities in between. It was actually the wisest choice for Zhou Zimu to take the Zhou family to escape to Shu.
Shu is mountainous and occupies natural dangers. The prefect of Shu can defend it according to its natural advantages. As long as it is strictly guarded, if the rebels want to take Shu, they may lose their soldiers and lose their generals.
At noon that day, Zhou Jinyu had already put on a good outfit. She went to the village to buy a horse, without bringing any salutes, but asked Wei Huanian to prepare some easy-to-storage pancakes for her, and got up to go to Chang'an.
This place is far away from Chang'an, so even if Zhou Jinyu didn't bring anything, even if she was bent on revenge at this time, she still couldn't starve to death before arriving in Chang'an City.
When Zhou Jinyu left the valley, Wei Huanian took her all the way to the entrance of the village.
Wei Huanian originally wanted to go with her, but Zhou Jinyu directly refused and said, "Stay here, you will become my burden."
Wei Huanian knew in his heart that Zhou Jinyu didn't want her to follow her and go to Chang'an to be in danger.
Wei Huanian nodded in agreement, and there was only one sentence left after a thousand words: "Be careful in everything."
Zhou Jinyu nodded, the grief in her eyes had been covered up by determination, and she said in a deep voice, "Don't worry."
Zhou Jinyu jumped onto the horse's back.
She turned around to leave, but Wei Huanian suddenly raised her voice and called out, "Zhou Jinyu, you must come back, I'll wait for you to come home."
Zhou Jinyu paused, but she didn't respond, but raised her whip and shouted, "Drive!"
The horse had already left, and Wei Huanian stood at the entrance of the village, silent for a long time.
It was not until the man had disappeared at the end of the road that she returned to the small fenced yard in the valley.
She thought about it, but still felt uneasy, so she went back to the room, wrote a letter, tied it to the pigeon's leg, and let the pigeon fly out by the window.
She came to the yard again, and the flowers in the yard were in full bloom.
In order to please her, Zhou Jinyu did not know where to find such vigorous flowers that can bloom in winter.
At this time, the warm winter sun shone straight into the yard, but it still couldn't dispel the bone-chilling cold from her body.
Zhou Jinyu rushed all the way, and finally arrived at Chang'an City on the tenth day.
She changed several horses on the way. Because of the war, the price of the horses also rose.
Fortunately, before Zhou Jinyu left, Wei Huanian put a bank note on her in advance.
At this time, Chang'an City has become a ruined city, and the generals guarding the city have already been replaced by members of the rebel army.
Zhou Jinyu sneaked into Chang'an City while the rebels defending the city were changing positions.
There was no one on the street, and the shops on both sides had closed their doors long ago, making it look desolate.
After walking a few steps, there was a pool of blood that had already been dried up.
One can imagine what happened to the people of Chang'an City before she arrived.
Treating the people of Chang'an City like ants and slaughtering them at will is the real hell on earth.
Zhou Jinyu was walking alone on the empty street. A child heard the movement, opened the window, and looked down from the second floor.
When Zhou Jinyu looked up, it was a child with fright in his eyes. After seeing Zhou Jinyu, he shivered in fear.
Zhou Jinyu thought about it, and smiled at him very friendly.
The child made a bang and closed the window.
At this time, not far away, there were a few rebels walking on the street. The armor on their bodies had already been removed, but they wore silver helmets on their heads, which were neither fish nor fowl.
Zhou Jinyu dodged and hid behind a stone lion in front of a house.
The rebels cursed and kicked open the high door of a rich family in front of them. Inside, an old man dressed as a housekeeper knelt down in fear and kept begging for mercy: "Master, please forgive me. My master has already left. something."
The rebels smiled grimly, and they were obviously very happy to see the old man begging for mercy, as if they were looking at an ant.
Ants, aren't they just crushed to death at will?
So, the hand rises, the knife falls.
A round human head fell to the ground.
The rebels swaggered into the rich family's house, and the red-lacquered wooden door was left wide open, wantonly.
Zhou Jinyu's face was already as cold as ice, and the murderous intent was evident in his eyes.
But she forcibly endured it.
When she came to Chang'an this time, she must not reveal it in advance.
So, she jumped up to the roof.
Zhou Jinyu's lightness skills are excellent, and in less than a cup of tea, he has already arrived at a family's room.
It was getting dark at this time, and she had been hiding on it and waited until it was dark before she jumped off the roof and landed by the well in the south of the yard.
This is the backyard. She has already observed it from the roof. There are no guards in the backyard, only a pair of soldiers patrolling back and forth at the gate of the backyard.
Look at the uniforms on the soldiers, not the rebels.
This is Yan Zhonghe's General's Mansion.
However, what surprised Zhou Jinyu was that after Yan Zhonghe's eldest son, Yan Hao, surrendered to the rebel army, the rebel army did not incorporate the Yan family army, and the guards of the General's Mansion still kept their attire as Jin soldiers.
Zhou Jinyu knew that Yan Zhonghe was in the room.
When it was dark, someone came to deliver food to Yan Zhonghe, and Yan Zhonghe opened the door once.
Zhou Jinyu saw that familiar face that had aged a lot, it was Yan Zhonghe himself.
Before Zhou Jinyu knocked on the door, a voice came from inside: "Come in."
Zhou Jinyu paused and pushed open the door.
And the former general was sitting at the table at this time, holding chopsticks in one hand and a bowl in the other, stuffing rice into his mouth.
Zhou Jinyu sat down in front of him, and without any hesitation, grabbed a chicken leg from the plate, brought it to his mouth and began to chew.
Seeing this, Yan Zhonghe stopped what he was doing and looked up at Zhou Jinyu.
Zhou Jinyu ate it in a few mouthfuls, looked at Yan Zhonghe with a smile and said, "General Yan, are you safe?"
Yan Zhonghe paused, and said: "Everything is fine, I am thinking of you, Consort Consort."
At this time, except for his sharp eyes, Zhou Jinyu thought, how could this person age so quickly?
Zhou Jinyu's appearance at this time is not much different from that of that year, but his speech is a little more calm and indifferent.
But Yan Zhonghe is different. He has been stationed in the frontier fortress all these years, and the environment in the frontier fortress is harsh, so that he instantly aged a lot.
Zhou Jinyu looked at Yan Zhonghe on the opposite side, and asked with a smile: "How does it feel to be regarded as a rebel by the world?"
Yan Zhonghe smiled calmly, and replied: "It's not good."
The two of them asked and answered with a very calm attitude, as if what they were talking about was not an important matter, it was unimportant.
Zhou Jinyu nodded: "It's a pity, you, General Yan, have been loyal all your life, but you can't keep them at the end of the day. As your old friend from the past, I feel sorry for you."
Yan Zhonghe shook his head: "There is nothing to be sorry about. Now I don't have to worry about military affairs. Three meals a day are delivered on time. I can live happily."
Zhou Jinyu smiled, but his eyes were a little cold, and asked him: "General, do you still remember what you said to me back then?"
After hearing this, Yan Zhonghe suddenly fell silent.
He lowered his head in distress, and seemed to be talking to himself: "So what if I remember? Now I am under house arrest in the mansion, like a useless person."
Zhou Jinyu said very calmly: "I just ask you, do you still remember what you said to me back then."
Seeing that he didn't answer, Zhou Jinyu smiled and said, "You told me back then that the Yan family's army, loyal to the emperor and patriotic, would never be sentenced to Jin."
Yan Zhonghe's body stopped suddenly, and he clenched his fists tightly, as if he was suppressing something.
No matter how well he concealed it and how calmly he pretended, at this moment, all his concealment seemed to be defeated by Zhou Jinyu's words of "loyalty to the emperor and patriotism".
After a long time, Yan Zhonghe's eyes were slightly red. He stared at Zhou Jinyu, but said calmly: "Over the years, Your Majesty has feared me like a tiger. The Yan Family Army is no longer what it used to be. His Majesty has repeatedly reduced his military salary. I went to fight against the rebels, the army was short of pay, and the rations were slow, did he want to use me to destroy the rebels, or did he want to use the rebels to destroy me, Yan Zhonghe?"
Zhou Jinyu could almost imagine how the rift between the suspicious emperor and the unwilling general was formed step by step behind and conveyed by these few words.
Yan Zhonghe said: "It's not that I, Yan Zhonghe, broke the oath that day, but that Your Majesty broke the promise first."
Zhou Jinyu nodded and said, "If I were you, maybe I would be angry too."
Yan Zhonghe suddenly gave a wry smile and shook his head: "No, no, even if His Majesty treats me like this, I will still be loyal to him. The king wants the minister to die, and the minister has to die."
"If he wants to take my military power and take my head off, he can just order it directly, and there is no need to use such a roundabout method."
"It is an honor to die on the battlefield as a general."
"It's a disgrace to die in a conspiracy."
Yan Zhonghe paused every sentence with a loud voice.
Looking at the aged general in front of him, Zhou Jinyu was immediately in awe.
Although his loyalty to Emperor Tianyuan made Zhou Jinyu feel like a foolish loyalty.
But his loyalty, isn't it his loyalty to his status as a soldier?
Rather than saying that he is loyal to the emperor, it is better to say that he is loyal to his honor as a soldier.
Zhou Jinyu paused for a moment, but still asked, "That's why Yan Shizi let the rebels enter Chang'an City? And put you under house arrest?"
Yan Zhonghe let out a long breath: "Yes."
Zhou Jinyu said: "Shizi Yan sent the rebels into the city to show you off, right?"
Yan Zhonghe said: "Yes, Haoer's original intention is like this."
Zhou Jinyu nodded and continued: "I understand Yan Shizi's approach. If I were him and someone wanted to kill my respected father, then I would make the same choice."
Yan Zhonghe smiled bitterly, and said: "It's just that he didn't expect that things would develop out of his control. After the rebel army entered Chang'an, they directly attacked the palace. His Majesty died under the sword of the rebel army. The people of Chang'an were killed and injured countless times, and they were displaced. .Our father and son have become complete sinners, the sinners of the world."
Zhou Jinyu looked at Yan Zhonghe on the opposite side, and said in a deep voice, "It's not too late to make up for it."
Yan Zhonghe was taken aback, looking at Zhou Jinyu, as if grasping at the last straw of redemption: "Now, is there any other way?"
Zhou Jinyu didn't answer, but just asked: "Yan Jiajun, how many troops can you mobilize?"
Yan Zhonghe thought for a while and replied, "Forty thousand."
Zhou Jinyu curled his lips into a smile: "Enough."
Since Wei Jingrui left, Zhou Jinyu and Wei Huanian have often bickered, and their lives are dull and interesting.
After that, Wei Jingrui's pigeon messages were often received in the valley.
He sent it back in Yuzhai, Zhou Jinyu thought it was funny, this kid really went to find that girl Awan.
Wei Jingrui said that he was dealing with matters in Yuzhai at this time, but only a few words were mentioned in the letter, saying that the old village owner of Yuzhai passed away, and Awan was her only daughter with two older brothers. , the position of the village lord is passed on from female to male.

Wei Jingrui's reply came back very quickly, and there was only one line of beautiful small words: my son is fine, don't read it.
Zhou Jinyu showed Wei Huanian the letter: "Look, I'll just say he'll be fine."
Wei Huanian was still worried about him, so Zhou Jinyu analyzed: "According to his temperament, if he encounters any difficulties, he will definitely sneak back early.

Wei Huanian just smiled and comforted her: "Since Mother doesn't want to write letters, why not just write to her."
Every time at this time, Zhou Jinyu said angrily: "No! She doesn't care about me, what should I write to her?"
Zhou Jinyu even felt like a jerk, all these years, when she was in the Zhou family, the Liu family had always favored Zhou Linger and the others.
But her biological daughter was not taken seriously.
But as the days passed, Zhou Jinyu gradually began to think about it. Liu Shi also had her difficulties in the Zhou family.
But maybe it's because of habit, Zhou Jinyu never mentioned Liu's family much in his reply to Zhou's family.
And Liu Shi also seemed to be angry with her, and would not write a letter to her personally.
Finally one day, Zhou Jinyu finally received a letter from Liu Shi, but the letter didn't mention her at all.
It's just that sister Ling'er gave birth to a fat boy, and the whole family is beaming.
Zhou Jinyu could feel Liu's joy in those handwriting.
Although Zhou Jinyu was happy that Sister Ling'er had given birth to a son, but because Liu's family still ignored her, the trace of resentment that had subsided in her heart began to fill her heart again.
But now, why is that person gone?
That strong woman who beat her with a whip at every turn, who had suffered for most of her life and buried everything silently in her heart, no matter how much pain she suffered, she gritted her teeth and carried it through, why did she disappear?
Zhou Jinyu clutched his heart in pain.
It was as if a big hole had been broken in his chest that could no longer be repaired, tearing, screaming, and complaining.
Wei Huanian was panicked by her appearance, he hugged her in a panic, patted her on the back lightly, and comforted her in a low voice: "Don't be afraid... Be good, don't be afraid, you still have me."
Zhou Jinyu raised his head dully, looked at Wei Huanian, and murmured, "I don't have a mother anymore, and I will never have a mother again."
Wei Huanian just hugged her and whispered, "I know."
Zhou Jinyu burst into tears.
His chest rose and fell violently, and he could barely breathe.
She hated herself why she didn't have a good talk with that eccentric woman before she left.
Even if you can't meet each other, it's good to write more letters.
However, she didn't.
She didn't!
Zhou Jinyu pushed Wei Huanian away, and she came to the bed, under the pillow, and found the letters that Liu Shi wrote to her, which she had kept carefully all along.
Until now, she didn't want to understand.
It turned out that what she had done to Liu Shi in the past was not resentment.
Instead, I think, A Niang, I am your biological daughter.
Why can't you show that you love me more?
How much she longed for Liu's to be fair to her. If Liu's treatment of her was the same as that of Ling's sister, staying by the bed when she was sick, hugging her when she was sad, and coaxing her, what would she do? As for being angry with Liu Shi for so many years.
In fact, she has always been jealous of sister Ling.
Because, Sister Ling robbed her mother.
Robbed his only aunt.
But now, A Niang is gone.
Celebrating the Year of the Fish: [Second update]
Zhou Zimu's letter said, let Zhou Jinyu be careful in everything. Now that the rebel army is in full swing, Chang'an City is already in chaos, and all the people who can escape have fled.
Those who are unable to escape can only wait for the rebels to kill at will.
What Zhou Zimu meant was that the world is in chaos now, and he told Zhou Jinyu not to leave here, the most important thing is to save his life.
However, Zhou Jinyu's location was further south than Shu, with several cities in between. It was actually the wisest choice for Zhou Zimu to take the Zhou family to escape to Shu.
Shu is mountainous and occupies natural dangers. The prefect of Shu can defend it according to its natural advantages. As long as it is strictly guarded, if the rebels want to take Shu, they may lose their soldiers and lose their generals.
At noon that day, Zhou Jinyu had already put on a good outfit. She went to the village to buy a horse, without bringing any salutes, but asked Wei Huanian to prepare some easy-to-storage pancakes for her, and got up to go to Chang'an.
This place is far away from Chang'an, so even if Zhou Jinyu didn't bring anything, even if she was bent on revenge at this time, she still couldn't starve to death before arriving in Chang'an City.
When Zhou Jinyu left the valley, Wei Huanian took her all the way to the entrance of the village.
Wei Huanian originally wanted to go with her, but Zhou Jinyu directly refused and said, "Stay here, you will become my burden."
Wei Huanian knew in his heart that Zhou Jinyu didn't want her to follow her and go to Chang'an to be in danger.
Wei Huanian nodded in agreement, and there was only one sentence left after a thousand words: "Be careful in everything."
Zhou Jinyu nodded, the grief in her eyes had been covered up by determination, and she said in a deep voice, "Don't worry."
Zhou Jinyu jumped onto the horse's back.
She turned around to leave, but Wei Huanian suddenly raised her voice and called out, "Zhou Jinyu, you must come back, I'll wait for you to come home."
Zhou Jinyu paused, but she didn't respond, but raised her whip and shouted, "Drive!"
The horse had already left, and Wei Huanian stood at the entrance of the village, silent for a long time.
It was not until the man had disappeared at the end of the road that she returned to the small fenced yard in the valley.
She thought about it, but still felt uneasy, so she went back to the room, wrote a letter, tied it to the pigeon's leg, and let the pigeon fly out by the window.
She came to the yard again, and the flowers in the yard were in full bloom.
In order to please her, Zhou Jinyu did not know where to find such vigorous flowers that can bloom in winter.
At this time, the warm winter sun shone straight into the yard, but it still couldn't dispel the bone-chilling cold from her body.
Zhou Jinyu rushed all the way, and finally arrived at Chang'an City on the tenth day.
She changed several horses on the way. Because of the war, the price of the horses also rose.
Fortunately, before Zhou Jinyu left, Wei Huanian put a bank note on her in advance.
At this time, Chang'an City has become a ruined city, and the generals guarding the city have already been replaced by members of the rebel army.
Zhou Jinyu sneaked into Chang'an City while the rebels defending the city were changing positions.
There was no one on the street, and the shops on both sides had closed their doors long ago, making it look desolate.
After walking a few steps, there was a pool of blood that had already been dried up.
One can imagine what happened to the people of Chang'an City before she arrived.
Treating the people of Chang'an City like ants and slaughtering them at will is the real hell on earth.
Zhou Jinyu was walking alone on the empty street. A child heard the movement, opened the window, and looked down from the second floor.
When Zhou Jinyu looked up, it was a child with fright in his eyes. After seeing Zhou Jinyu, he shivered in fear.
Zhou Jinyu thought about it, and smiled at him very friendly.
The child made a bang and closed the window.
At this time, not far away, there were a few rebels walking on the street. The armor on their bodies had already been removed, but they wore silver helmets on their heads, which were neither fish nor fowl.
Zhou Jinyu dodged and hid behind a stone lion in front of a house.
The rebels cursed and kicked open the high door of a rich family in front of them. Inside, an old man dressed as a housekeeper knelt down in fear and kept begging for mercy: "Master, please forgive me. My master has already left. something."
The rebels smiled grimly, and they were obviously very happy to see the old man begging for mercy, as if they were looking at an ant.
Ants, aren't they just crushed to death at will?
So, the hand rises, the knife falls.
A round human head fell to the ground.
The rebels swaggered into the rich family's house, and the red-lacquered wooden door was left wide open, wantonly.
Zhou Jinyu's face was already as cold as ice, and the murderous intent was evident in his eyes.
But she forcibly endured it.
When she came to Chang'an this time, she must not reveal it in advance.
So, she jumped up to the roof.
Zhou Jinyu's lightness skills are excellent, and in less than a cup of tea, he has already arrived at a family's room.
It was getting dark at this time, and she had been hiding on it and waited until it was dark before she jumped off the roof and landed by the well in the south of the yard.
This is the backyard. She has already observed it from the roof. There are no guards in the backyard, only a pair of soldiers patrolling back and forth at the gate of the backyard.
Look at the uniforms on the soldiers, not the rebels.
This is Yan Zhonghe's General's Mansion.
However, what surprised Zhou Jinyu was that after Yan Zhonghe's eldest son, Yan Hao, surrendered to the rebel army, the rebel army did not incorporate the Yan family army, and the guards of the General's Mansion still kept their attire as Jin soldiers.
Zhou Jinyu knew that Yan Zhonghe was in the room.
When it was dark, someone came to deliver food to Yan Zhonghe, and Yan Zhonghe opened the door once.
Zhou Jinyu saw that familiar face that had aged a lot, it was Yan Zhonghe himself.
Before Zhou Jinyu knocked on the door, a voice came from inside: "Come in."
Zhou Jinyu paused and pushed open the door.
And the former general was sitting at the table at this time, holding chopsticks in one hand and a bowl in the other, stuffing rice into his mouth.
Zhou Jinyu sat down in front of him, and without any hesitation, grabbed a chicken leg from the plate, brought it to his mouth and began to chew.
Seeing this, Yan Zhonghe stopped what he was doing and looked up at Zhou Jinyu.
Zhou Jinyu ate it in a few mouthfuls, looked at Yan Zhonghe with a smile and said, "General Yan, are you safe?"
Yan Zhonghe paused, and said: "Everything is fine, I am thinking of you, Consort Consort."
At this time, except for his sharp eyes, Zhou Jinyu thought, how could this person age so quickly?
Zhou Jinyu's appearance at this time is not much different from that of that year, but his speech is a little more calm and indifferent.
But Yan Zhonghe is different. He has been stationed in the frontier fortress all these years, and the environment in the frontier fortress is harsh, so that he instantly aged a lot.
Zhou Jinyu looked at Yan Zhonghe on the opposite side, and asked with a smile: "How does it feel to be regarded as a rebel by the world?"
Yan Zhonghe smiled calmly, and replied: "It's not good."
The two of them asked and answered with a very calm attitude, as if what they were talking about was not an important matter, it was unimportant.
Zhou Jinyu nodded: "It's a pity, you, General Yan, have been loyal all your life, but you can't keep them at the end of the day. As your old friend from the past, I feel sorry for you."
Yan Zhonghe shook his head: "There is nothing to be sorry about. Now I don't have to worry about military affairs. Three meals a day are delivered on time. I can live happily."
Zhou Jinyu smiled, but his eyes were a little cold, and asked him: "General, do you still remember what you said to me back then?"
After hearing this, Yan Zhonghe suddenly fell silent.
He lowered his head in distress, and seemed to be talking to himself: "So what if I remember? Now I am under house arrest in the mansion, like a useless person."
Zhou Jinyu said very calmly: "I just ask you, do you still remember what you said to me back then."
Seeing that he didn't answer, Zhou Jinyu smiled and said, "You told me back then that the Yan family's army, loyal to the emperor and patriotic, would never be sentenced to Jin."
Yan Zhonghe's body stopped suddenly, and he clenched his fists tightly, as if he was suppressing something.
No matter how well he concealed it and how calmly he pretended, at this moment, all his concealment seemed to be defeated by Zhou Jinyu's words of "loyalty to the emperor and patriotism".
After a long time, Yan Zhonghe's eyes were slightly red. He stared at Zhou Jinyu, but said calmly: "Over the years, Your Majesty has feared me like a tiger. The Yan Family Army is no longer what it used to be. His Majesty has repeatedly reduced his military salary. I went to fight against the rebels, the army was short of pay, and the rations were slow, did he want to use me to destroy the rebels, or did he want to use the rebels to destroy me, Yan Zhonghe?"
Zhou Jinyu could almost imagine how the rift between the suspicious emperor and the unwilling general was formed step by step behind and conveyed by these few words.
Yan Zhonghe said: "It's not that I, Yan Zhonghe, broke the oath that day, but that Your Majesty broke the promise first."
Zhou Jinyu nodded and said, "If I were you, maybe I would be angry too."
Yan Zhonghe suddenly gave a wry smile and shook his head: "No, no, even if His Majesty treats me like this, I will still be loyal to him. The king wants the minister to die, and the minister has to die."
"If he wants to take my military power and take my head off, he can just order it directly, and there is no need to use such a roundabout method."
"It is an honor to die on the battlefield as a general."
"It's a disgrace to die in a conspiracy."
Yan Zhonghe paused every sentence with a loud voice.
Looking at the aged general in front of him, Zhou Jinyu was immediately in awe.
Although his loyalty to Emperor Tianyuan made Zhou Jinyu feel like a foolish loyalty.
But his loyalty, isn't it his loyalty to his status as a soldier?
Rather than saying that he is loyal to the emperor, it is better to say that he is loyal to his honor as a soldier.
Zhou Jinyu paused for a moment, but still asked, "That's why Yan Shizi let the rebels enter Chang'an City? And put you under house arrest?"
Yan Zhonghe let out a long breath: "Yes."
Zhou Jinyu said: "Shizi Yan sent the rebels into the city to show you off, right?"
Yan Zhonghe said: "Yes, Haoer's original intention is like this."
Zhou Jinyu nodded and continued: "I understand Yan Shizi's approach. If I were him and someone wanted to kill my respected father, then I would make the same choice."
Yan Zhonghe smiled bitterly, and said: "It's just that he didn't expect that things would develop out of his control. After the rebel army entered Chang'an, they directly attacked the palace. His Majesty died under the sword of the rebel army. The people of Chang'an were killed and injured countless times, and they were displaced. .Our father and son have become complete sinners, the sinners of the world."
Zhou Jinyu looked at Yan Zhonghe on the opposite side, and said in a deep voice, "It's not too late to make up for it."
Yan Zhonghe was taken aback, looking at Zhou Jinyu, as if grasping at the last straw of redemption: "Now, is there any other way?"
Zhou Jinyu didn't answer, but just asked: "Yan Jiajun, how many troops can you mobilize?"
Yan Zhonghe thought for a while and replied, "Forty thousand."
Zhou Jinyu curled his lips into a smile: "Enough."
