The people of Beiliang have entered Beijing, and people still have lingering palpitations when they think of the killing four years ago, and in the hearts of the people in Beijing, the people of Beiliang are like jackals, tigers and leopards.

The one who entered Beijing was the younger brother of the King of Beiliang in the past, King Yan Cheng, who only led a hundred iron horsemen and came to the capital in a mighty way.

He entered the palace alone to meet the saint and the queen mother, but he was calm and unhurried, and he had his own momentum.

The ministers of the court and the central government all sighed that although this King Yan Cheng was not as brave as his brother, he was also a heroic figure.

He was born with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, a straight nose and broad cheeks, and only stood on the court, not kneeling.

"Thank you to the Queen Mother and the Emperor for returning the bones of my brother's nephew, but the little prince misses his eldest sister, and please hand over the county lord Lian Zhi'er to us together."

His words were like a bowl of cold water splashed in a boiling oil pot, and the court exploded at once.

The queen mother behind the curtain had already changed her tone, and only said, "What are these words, who doesn't know that the lord of Beiliang and the princess left the capital together?" Why are you starting with us now? ”

King Yan Cheng didn't seem to believe it, "The county lord didn't return to Beiliang, and he didn't even leave the capital!" ”

For a while, everyone whispered, and finally Mrs. Shi stood up and said. "We haven't seen the county lord, and the blood flowed like a river that day, but I'm afraid that the county lord has already lost the fragrance and jade, otherwise why haven't we heard the slightest rumor of her in the past four years?"

King Yan Cheng also knew that there was no need for the people of the Central Plains to deceive this matter, and besides, a weak woman who had disappeared for four years must have to plan for the worst.

"If there is news of the county lord in the future, I hope that the queen mother will return it, if the county lord can return to Beiliang alive, Beiliang is willing to present ten thousand horses."

When the courtiers heard it, they felt even more incredible. Who in the world doesn't know that the reason why the Beiliang Iron Horse is famous all over the world is that their horses travel thousands of miles every day, and every horse is hard to find.

Now the people of Beiliang are willing to take out so many horses to exchange for a woman, and the courtiers are only eager to dig three feet into the ground, and they also want to find out the county lord of Beiliang.

The Queen Mother pondered for a moment and said, "In the future, I will send someone to find the whereabouts of the county lord, and please rest assured." ”

"The princess is sick with her daughter, and now she is terminally ill, and she also asks the queen mother to find the county lord as soon as possible for the sake of her short time."

But looking for someone who has disappeared for four years is not so simple, it is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack.

Soon, the people in the court dug up the coffins of King Beiliang and Lian Shuo and handed them over to the people of Beiliang.

The people of Beiliang only stayed in Beijing for three days before they had to go back.

Now the Central Plains and Beiliang have a deep feud in the sea of blood, and the Central Plains wants to ease this tense momentum. intended to win over the people of Beiliang, but after King Yancheng entered Beijing, he closed his doors, and even the officials sent by the Queen Mother also sat on the cold bench.

On this day, King Yancheng was about to set off, but he heard the guards come and go, "Scholar Shi asks to see." ”

He also knew a little bit about his brother's grievances with Shi Ran at the beginning, so he only sneered, "He still has the guts to come?!" Just drive him out! ”

The guard whispered, "He said he came to see him because of the county lord's business. ”

Hearing this, King Yan Cheng only thought that there was news of Lian Zhi'er, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed, so he had to invite Shi Ran in.

He just glanced at Shi Ran, and he felt shocked in his heart, but he saw a man like an immortal, who was born handsome and extraordinary, not arrogant, but had an overwhelming momentum.

He had only one thought in his heart, if he had followed his brother into Beijing and saw this man, he would have to be killed immediately, otherwise he would become a big trouble in the future.

But his brother didn't seem to have such a long-term view, and even thought about marrying Lian Zhi'er to him, so he was destined to die in a foreign country.

Even in the face of such a strong King Yan Cheng, Shi Ran still seemed calm, "I've seen the prince." ”

King Yan Cheng asked, "Where is Lian Zhi'er?" ”

"Four years ago, the county lord didn't have time to leave the capital, so he was exiled to the Yellow River as an ordinary Beiliang woman." Shi Ran said slowly, "A few days ago, the Yellow River flooded, and she was swept to the bottom of the river, and there are no bones left. ”

"What?" Yan Chengwang's face changed suddenly.

"Half a year ago, I wrote a letter to Beiliang, has the prince ever received it?"

"No, I didn't." Yan Chengwang's face was full of chagrin.

Shi Ran slowly sent a package over, "Inside are the clothes of the county lord before, and I also ask the prince to go back and set up a clothed mound in Beiliang." ”

"The old man is still late, poor girl, she is only short of these days." He slowly took the package, and as soon as he opened it, even a seven-foot man like him couldn't help but be a little moved.

But I saw that there was not even a little hairpin ring jewelry, only a few coarse cloth shirts full of patches, presumably this girl must have suffered a lot.

Although King Yan Cheng was sad in his heart, he didn't show half of it in front of Shi Ran, and only said coldly, "I knew this earlier, it was better to die three years ago, and now I can't even find the bones." Even in your eyes, we Beiliang people are all heinous people, but Lian Zhi'er has never had a trace of blood on her hands, and she didn't expect that she would never go back when she left Beiliang for the first time. ”

Shi Ran's eyes couldn't help but be a little darker. "Please also ask the prince to let me go and worship the king of Beiliang."

"Not necessarily." King Yan Cheng directly refused, "Presumably my brother doesn't want to see you." ”

Shi Ran was not annoyed, and he didn't even have a look of displeasure at all, "Then let me send the county lord out of the capital." ”

King Yan Cheng didn't think that he would say such a thing, but after all, he also informed him of Lian Zhi'er's news, and the clothes were also sent by her.

————

The spring rain continues, and the flowers wither, fall into the mud, or crush into dust.

Lian Zhi'er stood on the city wall, and the thin rain pierced her body like a needle.

In the distance, she saw the soldiers and horses of the Beiliang people, as well as the totems embroidered on the flag, getting closer and closer to her, getting closer and closer.

The two coffins seemed to be tied to the carriage, and the one who rode the tall horse, she already recognized, was her uncle.

And the people around my uncle are dyed.

But he hadn't seen him for more than ten days, and he looked thinner than before, he didn't hold an umbrella, and the drizzle fell on his sideburns.

He must have been looking for her, and she left a jade pendant for him. He knew she was still alive.

Looking at the group of people getting closer and closer, she couldn't control it anymore and was about to run down the steps.

She could finally go home, she could go back to Beiliang, and this was the first time in four years that she had seen her loved ones.

"Can't wait to leave this world? What a ruthless woman. His voice froze, and he grabbed her slender wrist.

"You promised me to let me go." Lian Zhi'er looked at him, her thin body trembling constantly, "You can't be untrustworthy. ”

"This son of the world said that he would let you go, but this son of the world regrets it now." He brought his lips to her ear and said slowly, "I brought you here, just to show you what real despair is." ”

His words were like the sharpest blade, cutting off all her hopes, leaving behind endless despair.

She opened her mouth to shout, but Ruan Lu pulled her into her arms, and then covered her mouth with a cold, piercing hand.

"Woo woo woo ......" looked at the iron rider who was getting closer and closer, and she couldn't make a sound.

At this time, Bei Liang's horse had already arrived under the city, and the guards looked at the passage documents, and then Bei Liang's people slowly crossed the Yongdao and went straight to the outside of the city.

Lian Zhi'er, who was standing on the castle tower, could almost clearly see the expression on his uncle's face, but he still watched their backs.

She bit down on his palm. The tip of his tongue quickly tasted the smell of blood.

He looked at her with cold eyes, even though his palms were already bloody, but he didn't blink his eyes the whole time.

Outside the city, Shi Ran stopped tightening the reins, and only watched the chariots and horses of the Beiliang people from afar, until the two coffins disappeared on the pipe, and he led the horses into the city.

Lian Zhi'er cried in despair, she stood on the city wall, as if she could still hear the silver bell on the Beiliang horse, ringing in her ears.

Ruan Lu finally let go of her, only to see that his palms and backs were covered with blood, and the dripping blood was dripping down his fingertips and falling onto the masonry of the city wall.

She sat down on the cold city wall, crying hysterically, the wind of spring rain poured into her throat, and her limbs trembled with cold.

"Why, why can't you just let me go?" She screamed, "Why? ”

He pulled her up from the cold masonry. Then he pulled her into his arms and imprisoned her to death, "This son will find a good place for you, and when you figure out who you want to follow for the rest of your life, you will send someone to find this son." ”

She nudged him the shoulders and said in a hateful voice, "No, it can't be you." ”

————

The bluestone road in Beijing was wet by the rain, but the interior of Suijinghou's Mansion was solemn, and even the sound of rain outside the house could be heard clearly.

Fu Yunhuang saluted his father and mother, and then said for a while, and then asked the maids serving in the house to go out.

Today is the day when she returns to the door, but she is the only one who comes back, and the Sui Jinghou couple is naturally full of displeasure, but they feel that Ruan Lu really doesn't take them in his eyes.

The couple has long known about Lian Zhi'er, but the water spilled by the married daughter has no turning back.

Fu Yunhuang's mother, Mrs. Wei, took a cup of tea and drank it slowly, her eyes were more angry.

"On the wedding night, a woman came to the door, and she had a child." She threw the tea bowl on the table with a loud noise.

"Even if this child is in your name, you must not keep it." Sui Jinghou touched his gray beard, but his eyes were full of viciousness. "Even that woman must not be kept."

Mrs. Wei also nodded approvingly, "After all, it's not you who crawled out of your belly, who knows what kind of jackals, tigers and leopards will be in the future, you have to give birth to your own child earlier." ”

Fu Yunhuang's eyebrows tightened, how Ruan Lu didn't like her, she was clear, from the beginning of marriage, the two of them didn't say a few words. But it's more than that, cynicism.

"Yes." She nodded slowly.

"What the eldest princess hates the most is the concubine room, you don't have to do it, presumably that woman can't live." Sui Jinghou had already gotten up at this time, "It's time to enter Beijing at this time, and now the Queen Mother is ordering the old man to thoroughly investigate the disappearance of the county lord of Beiliang, and she can think of such a needle in a haystack." ”

When Fu Yunhuang heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned. So he hurriedly asked his father about it.

Sui Jinghou told what happened in the court that day, Fu Yunhuang only felt that something was wrong, but he really couldn't think of anything wrong.

didn't even use the meal, Fu Yunhuang sent someone to get some things, and he was going back to the eldest princess's mansion.

Who knew that on the road, through the veil, but saw the familiar figure, walking on the long street, without a hat, let the wind and rain fall on the body.

At this time, he seemed a little lonely and sad.

She only let people get off the sedan chair, and then walked in front of Shi Ran, blocking his way.

Shi Ran stopped, along with the horse behind him.

"What?" His voice was a little indifferent and cold.

"Where did you go? So sad? She looked at him, with a hint of sarcasm in her words.

"I went to send the people of Beiliang." His voice was cold, distant, "Farewell." ”

"Beiliang people? I wonder why adults are so close to their wolf ambitions? Could it be that he defected to the enemy and treason? She suddenly burst out laughing, "I forgot, you still tried your best to send a letter to Beiliang, are you still thinking about the county lord of Beiliang?" Your ...... company."

She was about to say something about Lian Zhi'er, but she was unexpectedly frightened by Shi Ran's gaze at this time.

"You took the letter in the first place?" There was anger in his voice.

"So what?"

As soon as she finished speaking, she saw that he pulled out the dagger on his body and aimed it at her throat.

"What are you going to do?" She screamed in fear, Shi Ran's eyes were already full of killing intent at this time, "I'm the princess!" You dare to kill me? ”

The anger in Shi Ran's eyes became more and more intense, if she hadn't stopped the letter in the first place, the people of Beiliang would have entered Beijing and taken her away, and she would naturally not have lost her fragrance and jade, and her bones were gone.

At this time, Fu Yunhuang's personal maid Cuiyun had already run over and begged, "My lord, you can let my wife go." ”

Shi Ran is an extremely tolerant person. At the beginning, under the hands of the Beiliang people, they also endured humiliation, and finally calculated Beiliang to death, but they didn't expect that they would be out of control like this today.

He finally restrained the anger in his eyes, only turned around and led the horse away, knowing that the lonely voice disappeared into the drizzle and haze, Fu Yunhuang was shocked to realize that he was actually in a cold sweat.

"I have to pay for you, I have to lose everything." There was endless poison in her eyes, "And that slut." ”

****

In the eldest princess's mansion, Shi Ran stood in front of the eldest princess with her head down. And Fu Yunhuang, who had just returned home, was also standing beside him, looking gentle and virtuous.

And the eldest princess's face was very ugly, and everyone on the side was even more breathless, and they didn't even cough.

"I also ask my mother to be the master, and my son will marry her as a concubine." Ruan Lu's voice was solemn.

"Looks like you're crazy." The eldest princess snorted coldly, "Where did you send people?" I can't even find it, it seems that you have gone through some troubles, afraid that I will kill her? ”

What the eldest princess is doing outside. Ruan Lu knows best, which of the women who were sent out of the mansion would have a good end, if he hadn't thrown Lian Zhi'er to that kind of place, I was afraid that her life would have been saved.

"After all, she gave birth to an heir to her son, does she want this child to grow up in the future and know that her mother's death is so unclear?" Ruan Lu looked at his mother.

"Who is his mother, the one standing next to you is your wife." The eldest princess sneered, "Do you like that woman?" ”

"The son is even more disgusted with her, but he promised her that he would give her a name, does the mother want to look at her son as a person who does not believe in his word?" Ruan Lu looked at his mother with a smile.

Hearing that her son didn't like Lian Zhi'er, the eldest princess's face was a little better, "Okay, then let her enter the mansion, but you have to treat your wife kindly, if you have the slightest partiality for that woman, then don't blame me for being ruthless." ”

The hand under the cuff clenched tightly, but Ruan Lu's face was still careless, "Don't worry, Yunhuang is what I begged for, where is the reason not to like it." ”

"You've been by that woman's side for the past few days, and you haven't had sex with you since you got married, so you're together today." The eldest princess's face softened a little, "You should be glad that you have a virtuous and generous wife, and don't treat him badly in the future." ”

Ruan Lu suddenly laughed, and then pinched Fu Yunhuang's face with a doting face, let there be many maids and servants around him, and there was no taboo at all.

"Is it because I blamed me for snubbing you? But you sued me before your mother? ”

Fu Yunhuang couldn't help but blush, but replied shyly, "The concubine doesn't dare." ”

"Okay, don't get tired of being crooked here, just go back and say something if you have something to say." The eldest princess shook her hand and asked the two of them to leave, "Take that woman back, I want to see what kind of girl she is." ”

————

Lian Zhi'er never thought that Ruan Lu would send her to prison, and all around her were death row prisoners who were beheaded by the Autumn Queen, all with hideous faces and ill intentions.

They are separated by a fence and speak obscene words in their mouths.

Lian Zhi'er covered her ears in despair, in this place where she didn't see the light of day, she had already driven people crazy after only half a day.

He told her that if she didn't figure it out for a day, she would be locked up for a day, and that no one would know about it if she died here in the future.

Soon a guard came to bring her food, still a steamed bun as hard as a brick, and then looked at her coldly and asked, "Do you understand?" ”

Lian Zhi'er gritted her teeth and shook her head weakly.

"A weak person like a girl will die of illness here if she can't hold on for a few days." The guard sneered, "We don't necessarily find out. ”
