Chapter 181: Behind Bars

In the dark and damp prison, it was the second time she had come to this kind of place since Qiyun went to the prison a few years ago to persuade Mao Xiuzhi to surrender, but she knew that this time was not a short stay.

A few days later, Princess Le Lang went to the prison in person and persuaded Qiyun again: "Sister, I know that it was my sister who made you innocent suffer from this prison. However, do you know that I was chosen by my father to marry Rouran, thousands of miles away, far away from my relatives, and the customs were different. The wind and sand are blowing, the climate is dry, and nothing grows on the grassland except grass.

Qiyun replied lightly: "So, they have to often rob the people of the Central Plains like robbers and locusts?" Or even burning, killing and looting at the border gates? ”

Princess Le Lang sighed lightly: "They also have no choice, as the queen mother of the Rouran clan, I naturally have to worry about their livelihood." Sister, do you know the truth? Every winter, it is always the most difficult time, the wind blows like a knife, the white snow, the people of the Rouran tribe have no city to shelter from the wind and sand and snow, cattle and sheep die, children and the elderly are hungry and cold. Therefore, Rouran, both men and women, grew up on horseback since childhood, because as long as there is an opportunity, they will wave their troops south and loot some materials to go back to spend the winter. ”

"In this case, the people of the Central Plains also have to protect their crops and homes, what is wrong with Lord Wei leading his troops to fight against the Rouran cavalry and protect his people? How can I deserve this prison? ”

"My sister has been friends with Na Tuobatao, but now she refuses to help me. The father put his sister in prison, and the foolish sister had no choice. Princess Le Lang replied, the light in the cell dim, her face in the dark, and the faint sound of sobbing.

Qiyun sighed: "Uncle Huang and Le Lang want me to go to the Mobei Grassland to assist Rouran in fighting against the Wei army. Even if I incarnate Yunqing and accompany Tuoba Tao at the moment, I can't change the trend of the Wei army's great breakthrough. What's more, if I have severed my ties with Tuoba Tao, how can I influence Tuoba Tao's decision? ”

Le Lang cried: "Then how can I watch the Rouran clan fall and be powerless? Heaven has the virtue of a good life, why should the gentle people end up like this? ”

Her grief made Qiyun's heart sour, and Qiyun looked at Le Lang with pity, "Yes, there are disputes in the world, and there are different thoughts from different angles, how can you have all four corners and be safe in all directions?" I hope that everyone in the world will be well, but this is just a fantasy. Sister, Zhuohua really can't do anything. Heaven and earth are unkind, and all things are used as dogs. ”

With that, Qiyun turned her head away and stopped looking at her. Princess Le Lang, as the queen mother of the Rouran clan, told the emperor Qiyun's identity, her position and mood, Qiyun can understand.

The prison was small, with only a small window letting in the light, and a few small grasses swaying in the dirt on the windowsill. During the day, Qiyun looked at the blue sky and white clouds outside through the small window, longing for the caress of the sun, and looked down to count the green grass to pass the time. At night, she looked through the window, looking at the lonely starry sky, counting the stars in the sky.

After a few days and nights, the moon was dark, and Qiyun heard a clanging sound outside the cell, and shouting in the hallway. Two masked men ran over with weapons in their hands, followed by several jailers, who had come to rob the prison.

A figure pounced on Qiyun's prison door, slashing at the chains with a knife, and the other holding a blade to stop the jailer. They cried out, "Lord of the county, we have come to save you." Qiyun got up and threw himself at the doorrail, and the two of them pulled down their masks. Qiyun looked at it intently, and it was actually Hauni and Mo Qi. Seeing more and more jailers rushing forward, she replied urgently, "Why are you? Get out of here. It's dangerous here. ”

was found robbing the prison, and more jailers outflanked him, and the situation became more and more dangerous. Qiyun hurriedly said: "Hauni, thank you for me, the Lord of the Mo Palace for saving me, but you can't save me from the city, so you better leave quickly." My imperial uncle won't do anything to me. ”

Hauni hesitated for a moment, and replied hurriedly: "It's not the Mo Palace Lord who called us here......" While struggling to resist the jailer's attack, seeing that the enemy was outnumbered, and the jailers surrounded more and more, Hauni and Mo Qi said: "We can't save the county lord this time, let's think of another way, the county lord take care." After saying that, the two fought their way out and left in a hurry.

Hearing that someone wanted to rob the prison, the number of jailers guarding Qiyun more than doubled at once. When she heard that she was about to be sentenced to death, and that the proclamation was scattered all over the border gates, she heard the news and stayed for a long time.

Finally, on the day the prison door opened, the jailer asked Qiyun to come out, but strangely did not put a torture instrument on her. Qiyun walked out of the prison gate, the golden sunlight shining through the leaves, and the shadows shining on the ground were scattered. She looked up at the sun, took a few breaths of fresh air, and was able to see the endless blue sky, and it felt so good to be warm by the sun shining on her body.

Qiyun was taken to the palace by the attendants and met the emperor's uncle, who was even more ill. Qiyun straightened her sideburns, straightened her clothes, knelt down to greet Feng Ba, and when she got up, she saw that there was another person sitting next to him, looking at her with a gentle face and a warm smile.

When Qiyun saw him, his eyes widened in disbelief and he cried out in surprise, "Brother Yilong? Liu Yilong was dressed in a civilian robe, and after not seeing him for a few years, he became more and more elegant and peaceful, and the nobility between his eyebrows was like ice and snow on the top of the mountain.

Liu Yilong nodded at her and smiled, "Yun'er, I'm here." ”

Qiyun saw that it was him and wanted to kneel down to say goodbye, but Yilong hurriedly stood up and held her hand. Qiyun never thought that he could see him here, and he was a little happy to be able to see the old man before he was executed. Yilong looked back at her, his gentle eyes as clear and soft as water.

Feng Bao coughed lightly twice and said, "Zhuohua has seen distinguished guests from afar, and the fact that the Emperor of the Song Kingdom was able to visit Dragon City in person shows his sincerity to you. If he hadn't interceded for you and wanted to kiss, you would still be in prison right now. Tomorrow, I will make you a princess and a friendly relationship with Song Guoyong. Zhuohua, this also lives up to your title of 'Zhuo Qihua, suitable for his room', and completes the mission of going to Jiankang back then. ”

When Qiyun heard this, he was taken aback, and hurriedly knelt down to excuse himself: "Zhuohua has just come out of prison, covered in dirt, and his body is stained with bad luck. Hurry and kiss, I am afraid it is not an auspicious omen. ”

Seeing her fierce reaction, Liu Yilong said to Feng Bawen: "Yilong came this time, a Wei lord is chasing Rouran in the north, and the country must be empty, and I want to negotiate with your country about fighting against Wei." The second is to marry the lord of Zhuohua, and His Majesty gave Song Guo enough face. But it's about Zhuohua, and listen to the county lord's meaning. Otherwise, it seems that Elon is not approachable. When the county lord came out of prison, he must be very tired, so it is better to let Yilong send the county lord back to the Zhongshan Palace. ”

Feng Ba was tired, nodded, and waved his hand to let Qiyun go with Yilong.
