Chapter 08: The Qin Covenant and the Jin Alliance
Chapter 08: Qin Yue Jin Alliance
Yan Muling disguised himself as a sloppy beggar and waited by the White Horse Temple early.
Waiting for the appearance of Dugu Lianxin.
Surprisingly, however, she was nowhere to be seen until noon today.
All the people who were waiting were anxious and didn't know anything.
"Mother-in-law, do you know what's going on?"
"Listening to the little girl's accent, it's not from Luoyang, right?"
"Oh, actually, I fled from the Kannai with my brother, and today my brother is sick, and I heard that there is porridge here, so I came here alone."
"Oh, that's no wonder." The old woman doesn't seem to reject outsiders: "It's not peaceful anywhere these days!" ”
"Yes, what about the female bodhisattva who put porridge?" Yan Muling hoped that he would be able to contact the target first without alerting the Dugu family.
"I don't know, maybe I won't be able to come today. I heard that it seemed to have been an accident. ”
"Oh, that's it......" Yan Muling pretended to be disappointed.
"Brother Shadow, what should I do?" Xiao Ling came to a hidden corner alone and asked Yang Ying, who was waiting to meet.
Yang Ying only thought about it for a while and came to a conclusion: "It was attacked first." ”
"So what do we do?" Xiao Ling was a little flustered.
"Don't panic, it's too hot to stay outside at noon, let's go back and prepare."
"Hmm......" Xiao Ling felt that Brother Ying cared about her so much, loved her, and was so good to her.
"When it gets dark, let's go visit our old neighbors together."

In the backyard of Dugu's house, the sound of two people talking came from the rockery next to the small pond.
Dugu Lianxin didn't feel that the hero in front of her, who was praised by everyone, had anything to do with herself.
"Miss Dugu, do you remember me?" Hawkeye said respectfully.
It just suddenly remembered!
She recognized the Eight Treasures Vajra Glass Cup!
She also recognized the blue pupils!
As vast as the ocean, yet deep and contain the infinite power of the waves.
That is his best friend, Lu Xiangqin, who was "married" behind his family's back before his death.
Back then, a subordinate named Ludo who served her in her daily life.
"Second Miss, do you remember me?" Hawkeye asked with a smile.
I haven't seen him for so many years, this man who has lost everything is standing in front of him, and Dugu Lianxin doesn't know what expression he should use to face it.
"Of course I remember, after that incident, why did you come back again?"
"I originally thought that I would leave this sad place forever, it is really a creation and a fool, you know that Luoyang City is surrounded by rebellion, right?"
"Hmm." Dugu just nodded silently, when her best friend was alive, she also couldn't understand these two people.
"The person I've been looking for, Hu Luguang, is also in the midst of the rebellion."
"I originally thought that you had lost too much, let go of those grievances and grievances back then."
"After all these years, I've been thinking about it for a long time. The mistake back then was that we chose to escape, so ......"
"So, this time, you chose to come back and face it?"
"Hmm."
"Hu Luguang is already attached to Prime Minister Gao Huan, do you know how powerful he is today?"
"Hmm."
"The army will also pull out its teeth from it?"
"Hmm."
"You are really unreasonable, you are alive, what she hopes for the most!" Dugu could barely control his emotions. “
"Please introduce me to General Dugu."
"You don't want to die?!"
"Hmm."
Although he always answered only one word, there was no trace of hesitation in his tone.
From a slave who can only cry and run, to the famous hero "Eagle Eye" in Heluo, God knows, what has this man experienced in five years?
Dugu Lian's heart was full of question marks.
But at the same time, there is also hope.
————
The lobby of the front hall of Dugu's house.
A short and fat man, with a barrel waist, sideburns and beard like a monkey, wearing a winged hat, said in a weird manner: "Dugu, this is a great opportunity, you don't want to toast or eat and drink!" ”
Dugu was so angry that he threw the teacup and teacup on the table: "Hu Sichun, I really didn't expect you to be the first to come over as a lobbyist, when did you stand on Jinyang's side?" ”
As the saying goes, those who know the times are the best ones. If you marry your daughter to the Gao camp, you can be regarded as leaving a way back for yourself. "Hu Sichun didn't think there was anything wrong." How is this wrong? ”
"In addition to promising to go against the party to come to me to give a dowry, did you also promise the Gao family to be the first to open the city gate during the siege?"
"Dugu, you're squirting people with blood, do you see me Hu Sichun like this?"
"Like, I think you're an internal response, it's better to slaughter you with a knife now, so as to leave you a clean reputation." Dugu held the knife in his hand before he sat down. I didn't expect this villain at all.
"Brother, think about it, even if you don't think about yourself, you have to think about the future of your child, right? In these years, can you still end well if you offend the Gao family? I only have a son, and if I give birth to a daughter, I still wish this kind of good thing would come to my door? Hu Sichun was not afraid at all.
Because he knew that Dugu would not really kill him if he wished.
"So you're wagging a big tail and pretending to be a matchmaker?"
"Dugu, you are also the one who married Miss Qinghe's Cui family, and you know all the in the famous family. This is the Pei family's generational gate valve Gaodi, Pei Guang can also be regarded as a famous young talent today, your daughter will not suffer a loss......"
"Roll !!" Hearing this, Dugu finally couldn't hold back as he wished, and stood up as soon as he slapped the table, eager to beat this traitor to death with the scabbard in his hand.
Hu Sichun lowered his head and thought about it, but he also felt that he had lost his words, and he didn't care about packing up his things, so he didn't say anything more and retreated.
I've never seen such a bastard.
Dugu got his wish, and he didn't fight in one place. Looking out the window, it was getting late, turned around and left a subordinate, and went back to his study alone.
Seeing that Luoyang was besieged, the emperor was in danger.
A few days ago, he urgently sent a letter to the princes of the Quartet asking for help, hoping that all walks of life would bring troops to King Qin.
But the effect is unknown.
In the gray sky, there is no glimmer of hope.
When night fell, Dugu sat at the desk in the study as he wished, scratching his head with the pen.
Dugu Panruo, the eldest daughter of the family, was pushing the door in with a bowl of ginseng soup.
Compared with the second sister, the elder sister Praruo looks more mature and stable, with long black hair draped behind her shoulders, a slender and well-proportioned figure, a pretty and refined face, wearing a red Hanfu, demure and elegant, faintly revealing a dignified and wealthy atmosphere.
I saw my father writing a private message under the lamp.
"Daddy has worked hard, let's drink this soup while it's hot......"
This letter is to the Guannei, and Dugu hopes to entrust his family to General Zhao Gui, the commander of the Jingyang Military Mansion.
After knowing the contents of the letter, Prajna only said, "Daddy, I'm not leaving, I'm going to accompany you." ”
If she is a beautiful girl, she is also a filial daughter.
"Silly boy, leave Daddy alone, Daddy can give it a go."
"Family should live and die together, that's what you said." When Prajna said this, his eyes moistened a little.
She was the oldest and had long understood her father's situation.
Dugu did not shy away from wishing, took out a gorgeous prayer post, and threw it in front of Prajna.
It was the one sent by Hu Sichun in the afternoon.
The girl suspiciously took a look at the cover, and the book reads "Jinyang General's Mansion Deploys Xiaocai General Pei Guang to worship".
"What is this?"
"Political marriage. If you don't leave, many things for your father will be dragged by your elbows......" Dugu looked embarrassed as he wished. "General Jinyang, that is, Gao Huan's eldest son Gao Cheng, is fourteen years old, has opened a mansion to worship the generals, and his fierce generals are like clouds, this time to surround Luoyang, it is he who leads the troops."
"How can you take on such a big responsibility at such a young age?" Prajna was also surprised. "Not as big as me."
"Well, it is rumored that there is a top strategist in the world by his side, who has been assisting him, and he is also a teacher and friend." Dugu took out a spy report from the table as he wished. "The name is unknown, the origin is unknown, the identity is unknown, the status is unknown, the official title is unknown, I only know that he assisted Gao Huan before, exterminated the Erzhu clan, planned to trap Yecheng, incorporated Gao Yue and Hou Jing, and helped the current saint to ascend the throne."
Prajna gasped: "Each of these things is a major event that stirs the world!" ”
The spy said bluntly: This person lives in a simple place, the hidden dragon is in the abyss, and he is proficient in astronomy and geography, the five elements gossip, and the art of Qimen Dunjia. It is speculated that it should be after the dignitaries or the world's high-ranking people can have this ability. At present, only his code name has been heard. ”
"What's it called?"
"Raven!"
After hearing this, Prajna said: "Zhuge among birds, ink feather crow!" ”
"What? Daughter, you know? "It's not surprising that Dugu got his wish.
"It's famous, and women and children know it. It is said that in order to get this crow military division to join, Mrs. Lou Zhaojun also made a special trip to ask Li Zu'e for him. "Prajna seems to recall that the second sister Lianxin told her." How? Could it be that he dislikes Li Zu'e and wants to marry me? But I don't even know if he's a man or a woman, whether he's old or young. ”
"Not really. The other party showed the corresponding sincerity and mentioned a person on the table to come on a blind date with you. ”
"What do you mean?"
"The crow didn't come in person, but found Hu Sichun, who was an official in the same dynasty as his father, to be a matchmaker, and the object of the introduction was the masked general of Yecheng - Pei Guang."
Prajna was taken aback.
"What? You know this man, too? Dugu thought that her eldest daughter didn't like to go out on weekdays.
"Another famous person, known to women and children." Praruo suddenly recalled a lot of what the second sister Lianxin had described to her. "Lianxin once said: Gao Cheng's subordinates, masters gathered, among the young, there are not only crow military divisions, but also an iron-masked general, but his true appearance, no one has ever seen it."
I really don't like to go out, but the second sister is a full wild girl, and every time I come back crazy, I often hear her talk about things outside.
"Yes, what the other party mentioned, it is this eldest young master of the Wenxi Pei family, if you think about it carefully, it can be regarded as a good match." Dugu didn't raise his head as he wished, just muttered.
"If my daughter doesn't leave, my father really plans to send my daughter to get married?" Prajna's body couldn't help but tremble.
"When did Daddy become this kind of person at both ends of the rat?" Dugu gently comforted her daughter as she wished. "Jinyang has become a rebellion, and I am a lonely family with everyone, and I would rather be broken than broken. It's better to let me die! ”
"What's more, my daughter has a marriage contract, even if you forget, I still remember." Pranya is a girl who is soft on the outside and strong on the inside.
This sentence instead said that Dugu's eyes widened as he wished: "What's the matter?" ”
"Daddy, you forgot?" Praruo walked around the desk and walked to his father's side, stroking Dugu's big hand while talking eloquently. "My daughter already has a place in her heart, and I ask my father to fulfill it."
"What do you mean? Or do you make a private decision for life? Dugu searched his mind as he wished, and he couldn't remember what marriage contract he had had.
"It's our neighbor back then, the son of the Yang family." Prajna first strived, but when he saw that his father seemed to understand, he turned to bow his head shyly. "My daughter's heart has long been given to others, and I can't get it back."
Since the Yang family was wiped out, this matter has become a forbidden mouth, and no one dares to mention it at home.
But there is another version, which was seen at the time: the murderer killed the two children and took them all away.
In the burned ruins, the bodies of the two sons of the Yang family were indeed not found, and their whereabouts are still unknown, and their lives and deaths are uncertain.
If so, it makes sense.
What's more, after so many years, his daughter still remembers him, so naturally there must be a reason, but I don't know.
"My daughter really likes the little brother of the Yang family in her heart, and she asks her father to fulfill it." Although Prajna's face was shy, he still spoke boldly.
Although Praruo has received a sinicization education since childhood, in the final analysis, there is still the blood of Xianbei women who dare to love and hate, and are straightforward and heroic.
Dugu's family style has always been open-minded, and the girls he has cultivated are also daring to do things.
"Daddy kind of forgot, which one is ......" but Dugu got his wish, and now I don't know how to talk about it further.
In the absence of his wife, it always feels delicate to discuss lifelong events with his daughter.
"Oh, it's the Yang Ying who saved her daughter back at the cost of her life!" Prajna turned his head and wanted to run.
Daddy is stupid.
Back then, the whole Luoyang City was in an uproar, and everyone knew about it, how could my father forget it?!
"Wait, I remember that kid's name is Yang Ying, right?" I don't know what Dugu thought of as he wished, why did he repeat what his daughter had just said.
"Yes, yes!" Prajna ran to the door and turned around and shouted.
Daddy was confused at a young age, and it was really long-winded.
"Is he still alive?" Dugu seemed to have thought of something, and this sentence was more like a rhetorical question for himself.
"Of course he is alive, and he is still serving as the governor in Guanzhong."
"The ink unicorn of the Jingyang Military Mansion?" Dugu still holds a letter to an old friend in his hand.
Zhao Gui's subordinates, Yan Buhui's disciples, if they are not mistaken, are indeed called Yang Ying.
"That kid didn't die back then? Are you sure it's the same person? "The clues in my head were connected, and I was startled by the conclusions I reached.
"Is it the same name and surname? God is so fond of playing tricks on people? Dugu Panruo refused to give up this last straw in his heart.
As a father, he could only sit back in the chair and collapse like a child.
Creation makes people.
Although Dugu Ruyi had heard of it for a long time, he never thought about it in this direction.
It can't be such a coincidence, right?
And outside the window, there are ears on the partition wall, but I really hear all of this.
