Chapter 13: Copycat Adventures (2)
At this moment, Shuyun put down the phoenix-patterned dagger around her neck, was silent for a moment, and nodded.
"Who the hell are you? How do you know my father's name? The words of your officers and soldiers have never been credible, but looking at your appearance, it doesn't look like you're lying to me, let's say. Shuyun asked angrily.
"Virtuous niece, your appearance is too similar to your mother when she was young, and it suddenly brought me back to more than twenty years ago, when I was crazy about pursuing your mother, but unfortunately your mother still married your father. I'm your Lianyun's uncle, you definitely don't remember me, your father was also the minister of the first emperor. Over the years, your family has suffered, and the first emperor of the Lianyun Dynasty apologized to your family. ”
"Uncle Lianyun, could it be that you are the captain of the royal court guard of the former dynasty that my father used to mention?" asked Shuyun, her eyes like a confused child.
"It's here, this time you can let down your guard, it's all your own people, there's no need to use knives and guns. Uncle would like to ask you by the way, can you tell him what you have experienced in the past ten years? I especially want to know about your mother, about what your family has endured, and why you are here. The aged Lian Yun stared at her seriously, and said all the questions in his heart at once.
So, Shuyun took the dagger to her waist and told her how her family had been persecuted in the early years, as well as the news she had heard about her family in the city, including how his brother had been promoted from lieutenant general to city lord through the defense of Sanchuan. At the same time, she also told the unfortunate experience of her marriage two years ago, detailing how her family sending team was attacked, all the accompanying cronies and servants were killed by assassins, how they were rescued by mountain bandits, and how they later stayed in Jiangshi Village and became the owner of the cottage.
"By the way, the slaughter of the villagers outside the city was not done by me and the second master, but by the third and third masters yesterday, and he committed crimes with more than a dozen people, and I have already blamed him during the day. Just now, my subordinates reported that the third child was shot to death by a crossbow when he just fought with you, which is also considered murder, but if one person makes a mistake, the crime is not as good as the whole village. This world is chaotic, gathering in the mountains and forests, far away from the rivers and lakes, seeking a place of peace, mixing a mouthful of food, and the hundreds of people in the cottage will not die of crime. If the uncle wanted to put them all to death, the niece asked to die with them. Shuyun was quite worried about the lives of hundreds of people in the cottage, and knelt down to ask Lian Yun for advice.
The number of hundreds of people and horses in this village is also considerable, the young master will raise troops to punish the rebellious ministers in the future, with the addition of these hundreds of people, the strength will also be enhanced, these people are more important than killing, even if they want to die, they have to wait for the battlefield to die in the future, it is worth it. Lian Yun was thinking in his heart, ready to agree to Shuyun's request. So, Lian Yun said to Shuyun: "Now that the murderer of the people has been punished, the rest of the unrelated people will no longer be investigated." Although we don't pursue it, this force must be absorbed by us, otherwise the royal court will send others to suppress it in the future, and you, a few hundred people, will not be able to resist the hundreds of thousands of troops of the royal court. I mean to find someone to manage the cottage, and when the danger of the northern army is lifted, when our squad returns to Haimen, can we reorganize it?"
"The niece is at the mercy of her uncle's arrangement, so what will the uncle do next?"
"Hahaha, kid, do you want to think about going north to Sanchuan City with our army and reuniting with your family. Bai Yu interjected.
"I don't dare to think about the reunion yet, I'd better continue to disguise myself in men's clothes, and go north with you to see. If the time comes, you can consider it. Shuyun was still very sad in her heart, after all, she didn't know what the specific situation was in the north.
"By the way, I've heard you talk so much, and I've heard the people in the village say that you have captured a young general and are going to force him to get married, where did that person go? You release him, and I'll introduce you to that. He and I are father and son among the people, but since you are also loyal and good, I will not hide it from you, his real identity is the son of the old emperor Canghai, the prince of the empire, and the young master who hopes for the restoration of the country. This time I went north, for safety, so I used the pseudonym Bai Yu, and you know this secret. Lian Yun admonished.
"Okay, uncle taught, niece remembered. It's just Bai Yu's brother, he was taken away by the second master, what did the relatives recognize, the two of them looked for a place to talk, it seemed that they went in the direction of the back mountain, and they haven't come back yet. ”
"The second master and his relatives know each other?Since this kid fled with me, he hasn't heard of any elders and relatives?" Lian Yun was also confused, he shook his head, as if he was pondering.
After a while, Fufeng knocked on the door hurriedly and shouted.
"Report to the staff officer, the major general is back, and he has brought back an old man, do you want to invite them in?"
"I don't have anything to do here, call them in!" Lian Yun replied.
Bai Yu and Ding Wu walked into the room one after the other, and Fufeng closed the door again.
Father, take a look and see who I brought to you?" Bai Yu said first.
"Is it Lianyun? As soon as I heard the voice, it was you kid. I am the former great prince Yuanhuang, the elder brother of Canghai. I'm not dead, I'm still alive!" Ding Wu rushed up and hugged Lian Yun, his shoulder touched his shoulder, Ding Wu patted his back, and a sense of joy filled the room with the joy of reuniting with the deceased after a long absence.
After a while, Lian Yun hurriedly bowed to Ding Wu, after all, he was still his subordinate.
"Hurry up, over the years, Feng'er has been raised thanks to you. I have also been out of the royal court for more than ten years, so I don't have to have so many courtesies. With that, he motioned for a few people to sit down together. There was a round table and four round stools, and the four of them sat down.
Great Prince, didn't they all say that you died at the hands of the rebellious army eighteen years ago? Do you have the art of resurrecting the dead? Lian Yun asked in surprise.
"No, no, you may not believe it. Eighteen years ago, that is, the day you took Feng'er and this child to escape from the royal court, didn't I hear that the rebels had invaded, and I was worried that he would be in danger in the sea, so I wanted to go to the scene to rescue him. Who knew that after that, after arriving there, I saw a charred corpse on the ground, and the celestial meteorite not far away with a prophecy written on it that was cut off by a sword, and I hugged the corpse and cried bitterly for a while. I never thought that I was wounded by the arrows of the traitors, and I couldn't stop bleeding. I pulled out the arrow in pain, crawled and crawled on the ground, lost too much blood, and fainted on the Celestial Star Meteorite, probably because the Celestial Star Meteorite was stained with too much of my blood, and the blood was actually absorbed by it, and it was it that gave me the ability to save me and heal my arrow wound. When I woke up, I found that I had been transported out of the city by the rebels and thrown into a mass grave along with the Celestial meteorite. Having picked up a life, I summoned my mount, the Fire Tiger, which carried me with this meteorite and fled overnight, and fled all the way here, at first I relied on my ability to capture and conquer the leader of this cottage, and simply changed my name and became the master of the cottage myself. Later, I rescued Shuyun by accident and taught her some martial arts, thinking that I was old, I wanted to entrust her with the affairs of the cottage and worry less about myself. At first, I thought that the old thief was so powerful that all the people of my royal family had been killed by him, so I didn't want to ask about the world. Today, God actually sent this child to me, and ignited the fire in my heart, and it seems that there is hope for the restoration of the country. Ding Wu told the secret that had been hidden for more than ten years, and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Lord Wang, you are the eldest prince, the king of martial arts in the mouth of the world?" Oh my God, the second master who gets along day and night is actually the eldest prince Yuanhuang, who has been incognito for so long, if he didn't say it himself, Shuyun wouldn't dare to believe it.
After being stunned for a while, she hurriedly got up and saluted gently.
"The courtiers are polite, meet the prince. On weekdays, I feel that you are a master, but you are really hidden!" The courtier Shuyun didn't know the identity of His Royal Highness the prince, and tied up His Royal Highness by mistake, which is a lot of offense, and I hope to forgive my sins!"
Bai Yu would have the same knowledge as her, so he quickly helped her up and pinched her nose. Looking at her delicate face, when wearing women's clothes, she has the gentleness and affection that a woman should have, which inevitably makes him a little tempted. At this time, if it weren't for the men's clothes, and as holy and cold as a snow lotus, he might not have done this action. "I don't blame you, if it weren't for you, how would we be reunited? ”
Lian Yun was quite happy, and said with great interest: "Since it is the fate arranged by God, let everyone get together here, let's set up a banquet here tonight, don't get drunk and don't return." ”
"Hahaha, the wine and the feast are wonderful. Then can this marriage be done?" asked Yuan Huang with a laugh.
Shuyun was a little embarrassed on her face, and turned her head shyly.
"Let the children's marriage go by themselves! Our old brother hasn't drunk for a long time, let's drink. After saying that, the two old men pushed the door side by side, and they were very happy.
"Don't listen to their nonsense, let's drink too. Yufeng hurriedly changed the subject and took her hand and went out.
"Drink, okay......" Shuyun smiled and tried to hide the embarrassment just now.
The atmosphere in the whole cottage suddenly returned to a joyful atmosphere, and the stars outside the village had risen, and the night wind blew through the sky, still bleak and deserted.
