Young Heroes Chase the Central Plains (19)
Situ Xiao got off the train, Kong Zhiming came up with a few people, he was Situ Xiao's closest staff, and his return to Yunzhou this time was secret, so let them not make a big fuss.
The car drove out of the station, and a child's voice selling newspapers could be heard shouting: "Extraordinarily big news, extraordinarily big news, Li Mengzhu, the sister of Li Yilin, the commander of the Yujun Army, disappeared before marriage!"
"Stop!" Situ Xiao shouted, the car braked suddenly, and Jing Yuan had already jumped out of the car to buy a newspaper and ran over.
Situ Xiao opened the newspaper, couldn't help frowning, and said urgently: "Go to Commander Li's mansion." ”
At this time, the big red happy words of the Li Mansion were plastered all over the doors and windows, the hall was still full of flowers, but it was shrouded in a tense atmosphere, Mrs. Li burst into tears at Tang Jiaming's portrait, and the people all stood with their heads bowed, Li Yilin patted a newspaper on the table and shouted: "I have repeatedly warned you not to leak the news, who revealed the news?"
The subordinates looked at each other and shook their heads.
"Young marshal..."Yi Lin called, Situ Xiao waved his hand to stop him, "I know!" stepped forward to ask Mrs. Li how hello, Mrs. Li wiped away her tears, stabilized her mind, and ordered Situ Xiao to show tea on the seat, looked at Situ Xiao slightly, and said: "Young marshal, Mengzhu's new marriage is imminent, but he suddenly disappeared, my hard-working daughter..."
"Mrs. Li, don't worry, just say that Mengzhu was abnormal yesterday, why did he suddenly disappear?" Although Situ Xiao was extremely worried, he wanted to find the problem.
It turned out that yesterday afternoon, because three days later was the wedding date, after today's marriage can not be seen, Ji Qing asked Mengzhu to eat Western food, the two ate out, Ji Qing turned a corner to drive, let Mengzhu wait at the intersection, who knew that as soon as Ji Qing came out, Mengzhu was gone, Ji Qing waited for a long time and still did not see, so he had to go back to Li's house to ask, everyone panicked, sent people around to look for it, I didn't want people to find it, but the news was reported early.
Situ Xiao comforted Mrs. Li and asked her to go to Zheng's house to find Zheng Jiqing, and the person who went came back to report that Zheng Jiqing was sick due to the blow and could not come to see her. Situ Xiao immediately went back to the Young Marshal's Mansion to arrange for the whole city to search for Mengzhu.
But after a few days, there was no gain, Situ Xiao was anxious, Li Yilin was also restless, Mrs. Li was old, and she couldn't withstand the blow of losing her beloved daughter again, so she washed her face with tears all day long.
In the Young Marshal's Mansion, Situ Xiao and Li Yilin analyzed that if it was a kidnapping, who would have eaten the bear's heart and leopard gall, the sister of the commander of the kidnapping ticket? Besides, the kidnappers should have sent the news.
But Mengzhu has just returned to China, and he is a gentle and introverted person, who would have such a deep hatred with him?
In the past, Li Jiashu made a big move, Tang Jiaming was such a good person and was killed, and it is not impossible for someone to have an old hatred for the Li family and harm Mengzhu. The two couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat when they thought of this, and they both looked at each other and didn't dare to speak.
"Report!" Jing Yuan came in with a telegram in his hand, "Young Marshal, there is news from Miss Li!"
Both of them were surprised and delighted, Situ Xiao snatched the message, Yilin looked at it, the two couldn't help but look at each other, and their hanging hearts were relaxed, but Li Yilin did not have a happy expression.
Just looked at Situ Xiao with two eyes, and shouted with difficulty: "Young marshal!"
Situ Xiao was overjoyed, and called Jingyuan: "Immediately convene an emergency meeting!"
It turned out that after receiving a call from the Ye army, Mengzhu was in their hands and asked Situ Xiao to let Li Yilin withdraw from the two provinces and cities occupied by the Ye army.
Situ Xiao didn't have time to think about how Mengzhu could easily rob Mengzhu in the heart of his Yujun, and why did he use such a woman to blackmail him into handing over the city? If it weren't for the fact that he knew how deeply he had affection for Mengzhu, why didn't he send the telegram to Li Yilin but directly negotiate with him Situ Xiao.
He was originally an arbitrary person, but at this time, he had only one thought in his heart: to rescue Mengzhu and the woman he loved deeply! Not to mention that it was just two provinces and cities, he was willing to do half of his country!
In the parliament, Situ Xiao clarified his views, a small number of staff members agreed, and the generals except for a few who had excellent personal relations with Situ Xiao and Li Yilin, some of them remained silent, and the vast majority of the generals fiercely opposed, especially Sun Minchun and some other veteran generals who followed Situ Kun to fight the country.
Situ Xiao had already prepared to resist public opinion and insist on going his own way, how could he listen to any opinions, Li Yilin of course hoped to exchange for Mengzhu, but he was very ashamed in his heart, Situ Xiao dared to face everyone's criticism more than him, you know, for the soldiers, it is more difficult to hand over the land occupied by bloody battles to the hands of the enemy than to ask for their lives.
Yilin finally knew that Situ Xiao ventured into Jingyan for Mengzhu, which shows how he paid his sister Mengzhu!
The two sides argued fiercely, did not back down from each other, the atmosphere of the venue was very tense for a while, and suddenly the audience was silent, two guards stood in front of the door with Situ Kun in their arms, and everyone stood up and saluted together, respectfully shouting: "Dashuai!"
Situ Xiao stepped forward to support Situ Xiao, shouted "Father!", helped Situ Kun to the upper seat, and sat down at the bottom of the head.
Sun Minchun was the first to stand up, "Marshal, for the sake of a woman, the young marshal handed over the two provinces and cities that tens of thousands of soldiers had fought bloodily for months, Sun Mou couldn't agree anyway!"
Situ Kun waved his hand, asked him to sit down, coughed twice, and raised his throat, "I, Situ Kun, have relied on you for several years to make suggestions or bloody battles to have today's glory, and I dare not forget your hard work." Commander Li Yilin, who has followed our Situ Kun for several years, has made countless military contributions to the Yu Army, let me ask you, if your family members are held hostage by Shi Zhibang, will you want someone or a city?"
After everyone listened, they were silent at first, and then there was an uproar, first of all, Kong Jiaming, "The marshal and the young marshal rule the world with benevolence and virtue, and the blessing of all living beings!"
Then everyone shouted in unison, there were sincere empathy thinkers, and there were improvisers, but the situation was reversed for a while, Sun Minchun saw that everyone turned their guns and was isolated, so he only said angrily: "Sun reserves his opinion!"
Everything was arranged, and after the Yu army withdrew, Mengzhu sent Ping'an to Huaiyang.
Seeing Mengzhu, Yilin excitedly hugged his sister into his arms, Mengzhu lay on his brother's shoulder, and Situ Xiao who was standing behind looked at each other, with thousands of words in his eyes, and he couldn't say anything.
She has always been so close to him, and she has always been so far away, there is always a way that can't cross the fence, you can reach through the gap, but you can't pull the other party over, this kind of torture, like Ling Chi, cuts off the flesh on your body piece by piece, and the whole body is full of pain, but the brain is strangely sober.
It's strange that Zheng Jiqing didn't come, but after returning to Yunzhou, Mengzhu quickly understood why Ji Qing didn't go to Huaiyang to pick her up.
