"His Royal Highness King Zhou, if you want to see your father, you can see it tomorrow night!" Wang Xuanshu smiled slightly and said: "Tomorrow afternoon, the king of Jianghuai will arrive, and my father and the king of medicine will prepare to hold a dinner for the princes tomorrow night, which will be regarded as the king of Zhou and his party, and at the same time will announce the schedule of this Luoyang conference at the banquet." If the king of Zhou wants to meet with his father, he can meet at the banquet. ”

"Oh? Then it seems that Li Yuan and Xiao Mo have arrived? Yu Ming narrowed his eyes and asked. He naturally knew that Du Fuwei called himself the King of Jianghuai, while Xiao Mo called himself the King of Liang. Wang Shichong may not wait for Shen Faxing, Lin Shihong and other small princes, but people like Li Yuan, Xiao Mo and others dare not wait.

"Yes! King Tang and King Liang were closer to Luoyang, and they had arrived a few days earlier! The king of Tang lived in the west wing, and the king of Liang lived in the south wing. If King Zhou has an opinion to see them, it is more convenient! Wang Xuanshu reminded. But he never mentioned whether he could meet Wang Shichong tonight.

"Forget it! I ran during the day, and I was a little tired from walking. I'd better rest early! Yu Ming shook his head, he obviously had no interest in seeing Li Yuan and Xiao Miao.

"Okay! Then the king, please rest early! If you need anything, just ask the people at the inn! "I'll let you know tomorrow night before the banquet starts!" Wang Xuanshu politely opened the door for Yuming, and then said goodbye and left.

Yu Ming walked into the room and took a look, and the room was very neat and clean. There are about more houses in the entire north wing, which is enough for him, Red Sleeves, Zhang Zhongjian and five personal soldiers to live.

The group was indeed quite tired, and after arranging the guards on duty, Yuming went to bed with Red Sleeves.

This sleep, but I didn't wake up until sunrise.

After the husband and wife got up, washed up, and had breakfast, Yuming proposed to go back to his original home, Xu Guogong's Mansion, after all, this is the home he grew up in, and everyone has a nostalgic mentality.

Red sleeves naturally did not object, so the two of them and Zhang Zhongjian brought fifty guards to the Xuguo Mansion.

Walking to the gate of the mansion, Yuming was taken aback. I saw that the gate was completely broken, and the courtyard wall had become some broken walls, and it could be clearly seen that the courtyard was already overgrown with weeds, as well as many broken bricks and stones, as well as the remains of dilapidated doors and windows.

"Since the news came out that Yang Guang planned to arrest you five years ago, my father-in-law left the mansion with the whole family and went to Jiangnan. The mansion was seized by Yang Guang and has been unattended and maintained since then. Later, Luoyang experienced a civil strife, and many of the mansions of the original court officials were looted by the rebels...... The mansions that inhabited the officials could not be preserved, let alone the unguarded mansions......" Red Sleeves sighed lightly. She is engaged in intelligence gathering, so she naturally has a clear understanding of the current situation in Luoyang.

Although Yu Ming was also mentally prepared, he was also a little sad to see his home like this, he pushed open the already hollow door frame, walked into the mansion of Xu Guogong, and then slowly walked towards the mansion where he lived. Red Sleeves and Zhang Zhongjian also hurriedly followed him.

After the group passed through the heavy courtyard, they finally arrived at the small courtyard where Yuming originally lived. However, at this moment, Zhang Zhongjian frowned and said, "King Zhou, someone is here!" ”

Redsleeves also heard a series of messy footsteps coming from a distance, and someone was also coming here, and judging from the footsteps, there were quite a few people.

"Let's stay out of the way!" Yu Ming also wondered a little in his heart, who else would come here now?

Yu Ming, Zhang Zhongjian, and the red-sleeved people are all strong in martial arts, and the soldiers who came with them are also not low in martial arts. The group quickly jumped onto the roof and held their breath. Immediately there was silence, as if no one had ever come.

After a while, I saw a large group of soldiers in green armor, protecting two men in blue brocade robes, and walked into the courtyard. One man was in his 40s with a graceful face, while the other was in his twenties, about the same age as Woo next year. The two are very similar in appearance, and it seems that they should be a pair of fathers.

"Husband, these soldiers are wearing the standard armor of the Southern Liang Army, it seems that these two people should be Xiao Mo and his second Xiao Yan!" Redsleeves reminded in a whisper. After coming to the Eastern Capital, they naturally paid close attention to the situation of the other princes, and Red Sleeves specially rewarded the guards of the post house with ten copper coins, and then learned from him about the entourage of Li Yuan, Du Fuwei and Xiao Miao.

Li Yuan left Li Jiancheng to sit in Chang'an, and he brought Li Shimin, Li Yuanji and Liu Jing to come.

Du Fuwei asked his righteous brother to stay in Jiangdu, although he had no children, but he brought his nephew Du Zhenyu with him.

And Xiao Mo left Chang Xiaoshan to sit in Jiangling, and then came to the conference with Xiao Yan.

The princes of this family all brought a young brother with a high status to participate in the conference, it seems that they not only want to train the young people, but also have an eye on the dream.

After Xiao Mo arrived in the courtyard, he looked at the messy courtyard and frowned. He immediately said to the son behind him: "Yan'er, you take someone in to see if you can find your cousin's line." ”

Xiao Yan answered, and then led a team of soldiers into the room where Yu Ming and Xiao Wanjun lived to find it.

After about a pillar of incense, Xiao Yanfang held the two cracked tablets and happily rushed out and said, "Dad, I found it, these two tablets should be grandpa and grandmother's!" It seems that my cousin did live here! ”

Xiao Mo took the tablet and looked at it, and said with a look of surprise: "Sure enough, it is indeed the spirit card of Uncle Xiao Ding and Auntie." ”

At this time, Yu Ming was so surprised that he was almost speechless, because he was very familiar with these two spirit cards. It was the spiritual seat of his grandfather and grandmother. Almost every year during the Chinese New Year and Qingming Festival, his mother Xiao Wanjun will take him to pay homage to his ancestors.

At this moment, one of Yuming's personal soldiers accidentally stepped on the roof tiles. In this quiet house, it is obvious that it is divided.

"Who is it! Don't sneak around! Get out of here! When Xiao Yan heard this, he immediately shouted loudly.

And the soldiers around Xiao Mo also immediately unsheathed their knives and guns, surrounded Xiao Miao's father in the core, and then looked at the roof with a vigilant face.

"Let's go down! They were all found anyway. Yu Ming smiled bitterly.

Zhang Zhongjian glared at the pro-soldier who was in trouble with hatred, and secretly thought that he had to clean up this guy when he went back.

The soldier apparently understood the meaning in his boss's eyes, and couldn't help but turn pale with fright, and a hint of pleading appeared on his face.

Looking at Yu Ming and Red Sleeves jumping down from the roof, Xiao Miao's face couldn't help but change, he didn't expect that there were dozens of people in ambush in this dilapidated mansion. If it weren't for someone accidentally stepping on the tiles just now, I'm afraid he wouldn't have noticed it until now. It shows the high martial arts of this group of people.

"I don't know what your Excellency is called? Why is it in this house? Xiao Mo asked in a deep voice.

"In the next compound surname Yu, a single name is a clear character. This is the courtyard where I used to live, and it's only natural for me to be here! But why did King Liang come to my childhood home to look for it? This makes me a little curious! Yu Ming said lightly.

"What? Yuming? You turned out to be the king of Zhou who seized Liaodong, Hebei, Shandong and other places? When Xiao Mo heard this, he was also surprised. Although he had long heard that Yuming was very young, he didn't expect that the King of Zhou in front of him looked even smaller than his own.

"If there is no second person named Yuming, it should be me!" Yu Ming touched his nose.

Xiao Mo took a deep breath at this time, he knew that the person he had been looking for, maybe the young man in front of him would know his whereabouts.

He then said solemnly: "Since King Zhou has lived in this mansion, he must know the situation of the people living in it." I don't know if King Zhou knows that there is a servant named Xiao Qian in your mansion? ”

"Xiao Qian?" Yu Ming was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then shook his head.

"No, it won't! If there is no Xiao Qian in your mansion, then how can there be her parents' spirit cards? Xiao Mo waved at this time, and ordered his soldiers to take out the spirit cards of Yuming's grandfather and grandmother that Xiao Yan had found just now.

Yu Ming's eyes also flickered, and his eyes showed eagerness, and he knew that maybe the answer was about to be revealed.

"This spirit card belongs to my grandfather and grandmother, but my mother is not called Xiao Qian, but Xiao Wanjun!" Yuming is colorful.

"Xiao Wanjun?" Xiao Mo was stunned for a moment when he heard this name. At this time, Xiao Yan reminded: "Dad, it's possible that Aunt Qian changed her name in order to hide people's eyes!" ”

"Hmmm! It's possible! After hearing this, Xiao Mo touched his long beard under his chin and nodded.

Immediately, after he sorted out his thoughts, Fang said to Yuming with a solemn face: "King Zhou, if this king's judgment is correct, your mother Xiao Wanjun should be my cousin Xiao Qian." Ten years ago, when the Sui Dynasty destroyed Chen, the Xiao family suffered a catastrophe. Many younger brothers were killed by the Sui army, and many of the Xiao family's female dependents were also taken captive by the Sui army and became slaves. I was only seventeen years old at the time, and with the help of my father, I finally managed to escape with my life, and I hid in the mountains and old forests until Emperor Yang Jian became a great emperor in the world. ”

"And according to my father, the one he was most worried about was his brother's daughter Xiao Qian, who was only ten years old at the time, and was captured by the Sui army as a war trot, and then awarded to a general. When my uncle was dying, his greatest wish was that my father could rescue his daughter and let us have a reunion garden. Xiao Mo said eloquently.
