Zhou Yiyun clenched his fists after hearing this, he knew his tenth brother very well, he loved business, kept himself clean and self-loving, did not provoke right and wrong, and did not care about the affairs of the court, only this birthday was considered to be in the limelight in the court, remembering that several brothers also drank together at the birthday banquet, and then accompanied the messenger with the twelfth brother, how could he not show up for two days?

"Tenth sister-in-law, if you go back to the house first, you must inform your brother first if you have any news." Zhou Yiyun sat alone in the hall and nodded his forehead, recalling what was wrong with him in the past few days, the more he thought about it, the more chaotic he became, and he had no clue: "Wang Fan, you go to the city gate to inquire about the strange behavior of the envoys when they go out of the city, Li Jin, take some people to look for the ten princes in the city, and remember that a qiē must be done in secret." He didn't have time to pay attention to the cries of Bubu and Xiaoxiao behind him, and hurried to the palace.

The two brothers, who were left out in the cold, glanced at each other, and held hands and planned to sue their father, so that their father would ignore him and pay the price. Zhou Yiyun waited at the palace gate for the transmission, and he didn't know how long it would take to report it layer by layer, but when he was about to get dizzy, he finally saw the holy face. Zhou Yuhuang looked at the sweaty old eleven, it was rare that he didn't say sarcastic, Zhou Yiyun didn't wait for a question, so he hurriedly explained his intention and automatically asked for a decree: "Father, please hand over this matter to his sons to investigate." ”

Zhou Yuhuang frowned: "I have told you to search for the Ten Princes in a large area outside the city, I know that you have a deep brotherhood, but you are uncertain, I am afraid that your judgment will be wrong." ”

"Father, no, if it is related to the envoys of other countries, I am afraid that it will be unfavorable to the tenth brother if I work too hard." Zhou Yiyun took a heavy breath: "The ministers also know a thing or two about the birthday, the tenth brother and the twelfth brother are very strict with the people who enter and leave the capital, to prevent anyone from taking advantage of the situation, the tenth brother has been in contact with the envoys recently, if you go out of the city, you must be registered in the register." "Zhou Yiyun is not the only one who is restless, Zhou Yuhuang is also anxious, this ten princes have always had no city, and his temperament is soft, he ran around after following the old eleven buttocks when he was a child, and when he grew up, he regarded his younger brother as his life, and he had a calm temperament and a good temper; A out-of-the-box thinking, stubborn temper, can be regarded as complementary, usually let them go, the prince died before he was an adult, but this ten sons have been in contact for nearly 30 years, which makes the king of a country not mess up.

"Holy Lord, the guard Wang Fan asks to see the eleventh prince and has an urgent report." Gonggong Li entered the main hall to report the news.

"Father, Wang Fan was sent by his sons to investigate the whereabouts of the tenth brother."

Zhou Yuhuang hurriedly ordered: "Spread quickly." ”

Wang Fan's trembling body turned left and right into the main hall: "Slave...... Slave Wang Fan...... Meet the Holy One. ”

"Alright, find out what's going on, report it quickly." Zhou Yuhuang ignored the trembling trill, and directly asked for the result.

"Yes, the minions found out...... Two days ago, the ten princes were found...... Ten Princes. ”

Zhou Yiyun stomped his legs anxiously, staring at him with his eyes bursting: "Can you straighten out your mouth!" ”

"Yes, yes, the slave found out that the tenth prince accompanied the envoys of Shang Ruiguo to Dongyulou two days ago, and the slave could not check the entry and exit certificate of Shang Ruiguo without a clerical officer."

"Wang Fan, you go back to the mansion and take a few people to the south, and then turn to the east after no one is following you, remember to wear regular clothes and not reveal your identity." He turned to Emperor Zhou Yuhuang again: "Father, can you summon the person from the Ministry of Rites to manage the national register of diplomatic relations, and first learn about this Shangrui country in writing, in case someone borrows a knife to kill people." ”

Zhou Yuhuang was so confused that he didn't care about this old eleven's overstepping of his authority: "Go find the sixth prince." Zhou Yuhuang hurriedly circled around the main hall, several princes were used to inheriting this disease, Zhou Yiyun kept looking out, the six princes walked into the main hall, and listened to Zhou Yuhuang's question before they saw the ceremony: "Sixth, tell me what is the origin of this Shang Ruiguo." ”

The sixth prince, who finally won the appreciation of his father, coughed lightly and talked about the written materials: "Shang Rui is prosperous and prosperous, and the commerce is developed, the salt and iron produced are controlled by the court, and the melons and fruits are regarded as the best, and they are majestic in front of their neighbors, and they are tough on the outside world, so it is not an exaggeration to say that they are prosperous." ”

"Such a big country ......" Zhou Yuhuang was just about to express his opinion, but Zhou Yiyun exploded at this moment: "It's gone?" That's it? The development and production of the country, the recuperation of the people, the democratic atmosphere, the direction of the country's prestige, and the passes, these are not the slightest reference? Even if you can't break into the inside, don't you even go to investigate when you submit the state certificate? Entering another country only tasted melons and fruits? What's the use of understanding those superficial things, other countries all know about the Great Zhou Dynasty, but we only look at the appearance of other countries? ”

The sixth prince was embarrassed by the eleventh, and said slightly angrily: "You are not in his position, and you are not in his politics." Do you think you can go into another country and do what you want? Do you think everyone else is so easy to bully? ”

Zhou Yiyun beat his head, trying to calm himself down, but at this time, the fire couldn't be suppressed, and choked: "Won't you have an unannounced visit?" You know exactly which flower building in Beijing has a beautiful girl, why did you wilt in another country? Do you think they have diplomatic relations with you just on the surface? There are many people, and one sentence per person is enough for the Ministry of Rites to write how many booklets? Don't take this opportunity to explore the strength, only on the surface, and wait for other countries to find out the details, you can't find the pass in the counterattack, of course, it is good to be able to trade and cultural exchanges, but the heart of defense is indispensable, and only by knowing yourself and knowing the other can you survive a hundred battles. ”

"You want to put all the fault on the Ministry of Rites, don't forget that the envoys of other countries have access to the customs."

"Fart." Zhou Yiyun's eyes widened: "There are many people who are proficient in this craft, didn't someone make my fake seal at the beginning?" Father Emperor ordered this matter to be carried out jointly by the Tenth Brother and the Ministry of Rites, you don't compare the seals of various countries, and everyone else is fine, why did the Tenth Brother fall into the eyes of the enemy? ”

"You ......"

"That's enough." Zhou Yuhuang shouted: "Did I let you talk about political affairs? Priorities...... Do you care about the whereabouts of Lao Shi or continue to make remarks? I ordered you to go and find out the whereabouts of the old ten immediately, no matter what method you use, you must see people alive and corpses when you die. ”

Zhou Yiyun stiffened his neck: "The tenth brother will be safe." ”

"Roll ......"

The sixth prince chased after Zhou Yiyun and glared angrily: "Is it really Nengnai who reprimanded your sixth brother in front of his father?" ”

Zhou Yiyun shook off his hand: "The premise of calling your sixth brother is that the tenth brother is fine, I am at fault, I shouldn't mention it indiscriminately, you are guilty of negligence, the tenth brother is fine, you and I can't escape the responsibility if there is something." Of course, you can also put the responsibility on Shang Rui's courtiers, but you have also become a useless talent in the eyes of your father, sixth brother, I advise you to silence as well, there are few people who know about this, if there is a rumor, it will be difficult to say even if there is a mouth at that time. ”

Wang Fan and others wore silk and satin clothes specially rewarded by willow catkins, stubborn sons and brothers, looking for rare treasures along the road. Zhou Yiyun waited for the news irritably, every day the palace, the Ten Princes' Mansion, and his own mansion were three points and one line, the longer the time, the more uneasy his heart became, and the anger grew, everyone in the mansion was a foot away, and even the twins were far away from the volcano, looking for a quiet place. Today is tired and returned home, locked himself in the study to introspect, Liu Wu sat opposite him and stared at his every move without squinting, but unfortunately he could really hold back for half an hour, and sat quietly without speaking, if it wasn't for the ups and downs of breathing, Liu Wu thought he had become a terracotta warrior.

"I know that you are worried about Brother Ten, but it is nothing to make up for it if you are in a hurry, it is better to think about what went wrong now, and take advantage of the victory to chase after it."

Zhou Yiyun lay on the desk half-dead: "Master's mind is very messy now, he can't think of anything, he just wants to know the news of the tenth brother quickly." ”

"In order to solve my confusion, I am willing to tell you one or two." Liu Wu sat forward, intending to confuse with beauty, but he didn't expect that the usual "sharp weapon" would be useless today: "Alas, the tenth brother went out of the city and brought the guards, it is said that it will be more comprehensive to have envoys from other countries to prevent trouble." ”

"The master looked at the record of going out of the city, and there were 20 guards around him, of which 10 people from other countries were brought into the city, but no one knows how many people were hidden out of bounds."

"Why?"

"The Great Zhou Dynasty only guarantees their safety within the borders of the country, and it doesn't matter if it doesn't belong to the scope of the Great Zhou Dynasty, my father has sent a letter to Shang Rui, if it has nothing to do with them, I'm afraid that Shang Rui's envoys have been unexpected, which is also the source of the conflict, why do you say that the tenth brother will bring ten people, why are you so stupid."

Liu Fu glanced at Zhou Yiyun, and couldn't bear to say cruel speculation, it was better to accept the reality earlier than this languishing: "Will it go out of the country?" "Two days later, I found out that I was missing, and it was easy to say that it was long or short, as long as I went out of the city and guarded laxly, I smuggled out a person.

Obviously, Zhou Yiyun didn't want to think in that direction, so he took Liu Wu's hand and began to chatter: "When I was five or six years old, I knew that I had candy to eat with Brother Ten, I was rampage in front, he always swept obstacles behind him, I kicked my mother-in-law a few times to relieve his anger, Brother Ten was often punished more miserably, when I was a child, my temperament was not pleasant, Brother Ten always changed his way to ask for rewards from others, and gave me all the proceeds, I was locked up, Brother Ten climbed the wall to deliver food, his nose was blue and his face was swollen, he always listened to me, and did it without thinking, he couldn't see me being wronged, Tens of thousands of taels of hard-earned silver were thrown to me, and he didn't feel distressed, Xu'er, I regret what I mentioned this time, it's all my fault if something happened to Brother Shi, if he ...... I couldn't hold my head up to anyone for the rest of my life. ”

Seeing his tearful appearance, Liu Fu was distressed and comforted: "Even if they leave the country, they won't go too far, do you think that if they intend to provoke disputes between the two countries, how can they expose their identities so quickly, the tenth brother will be fine, this is a hostage." ”

Zhou Yiyun raised his teary eyes: "Really? ”

Liu Wu nodded wildly with certainty: "How can the Ten Brothers Ji people have such a small disaster." Even coaxing and deception finally let the extremely tired Zhou Yiyun fall asleep.

"Tuk Tuk" knocked on the door, Zhou Yiyun jumped up and hurriedly ran out of the door, Liu Fu shook his head and followed with his shoes, and Li Jin whispered outside the door: "The eleventh prince, I found a suspicious person, but I don't know if the tenth prince was imprisoned by them." ”

"What do you mean by being suspicious?"

"These people will drive a few carriages to and from the border towns to buy food, and then go to the deep mountains, a few of us are afraid of startling the grass and snakes, so we go back to the house to ask the eleventh prince and the master to decide."

"What about the others?" Zhou Yiyun asked with a frown.

"Wang Fan and the others are still waiting in the town."

Liu Wu pulled Zhou Yiyun into the house: "Come in and say, put on your shoes." Zhou Yiyun put on his shoes and hurriedly ran out: "Li Jin, follow me to the palace to ask for an order to send troops." ”

Liu Fu stopped him: "Don't be impulsive, you don't know what the situation is now, if the other party is really a thief who tied up the tenth brother, if you act rashly, you are not afraid that they will jump over the wall in a hurry and it will be bad for the tenth brother?" You are restless, and you should calm down first. ”

Zhou Yiyun hugged his head and was silent.

Liu Wu thought for a while and asked Li Jin: "How far?" ”

"More than 100 miles away from the pass, passing through a town."

"What border does the town belong to?"

"It belongs to the Great Zhou Dynasty, when the court intended to let the people in the town move to Beijing, they were unwilling to leave their homeland, and the Holy Lord did not force them to live outside the city."

Liu Wu relaxed a lot: "As long as it belongs to the Great Zhou Dynasty, it will be much easier, first of all, you have to explore the truth to know whether the tenth brother was captured by them, you can't check it openly, you can only visit secretly, Li Jin has a few people left there." ”

"Go back to the master, and leave seven people behind."

"You go and prepare some black clothes, binoculars, ropes...... Weapons. Liu Wu stopped in time to casually take out the modern weapon of "gun", and he had to regress after not going out of the task for too long: "Later, a few of us will follow the tracks." ”

"Not allowed! Don't make a mess for your grandfather. Liu Fu nodded to Li Jin, pressed Zhou Yiyun's shoulder and pressed him to sit on the chair, and said calmly: "I don't want to talk too much about the time press, I think I have the ability, you always let me believe you, this time you have to believe me, think about your position, don't add some damage to the defenseless tenth brother." ”

"Su'er, this trip ......"

"I have to do something, you have affection for the tenth brother, and I return the righteousness of the tenth brother, and it is just to investigate, wait for work, wait for changes, recuperate, and wait for the opportunity to attack, don't forget that the slightest bit is not much, the safety of the tenth brother is in danger."

Zhou Yiyun held Liu Wu's hand and said guiltily: "It's the master who can't stand you, and let you ...... again and again"

"Let's not talk about that, do you have any deployments?"

Zhou Yiyun pointed his forehead: "You go out of the customs as the Ten Princes' Mansion, and the master will wait for your news at the pass with a different identity." ”

Liu Fu smiled at him confidently, turned around and went out, and grabbed the neck of Zhou Yifeng, who had just entered the mansion: "Do you want to explore together?" ”

Zhou Yifeng's eyes lit up and nodded wildly: "Is there any news from the tenth brother?" Eleventh sister-in-law take me there, I can make up for it, and the eleventh brother refuses to see me now. ”

Liu Wu, Zhou Yifeng, and Li Jin bowed their heads and waited for the guards to hand over the token of the Ten Princes' Mansion to the officials who left the city, and then sailed to Linshan Town to join the others.
