Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Class Master Returns to Pimo Zhai Xiancheng Yin Huang Leaves Du Yusi's Old Man
Besides, after Wu Weiyi and Du Yu cleaned up the bodies of the Shu soldiers who died tragically at the foot of Qingcheng Mountain, they made people dig a big pit on the spot to bury the remains, and sent someone to make stone carvings and stand in front of the grave. In this way, they can be regarded as being able to settle in the ground, at least not to be violently corpsed in the wilderness.
After everything was arranged, Du Yu and Zijuan rushed to Picheng with the people. When he set off, Du Yu asked Wu Weiyi to sit with him five times, but Wu Weiyi refused politely because of Zhou Li's "men and women do not sit together"! Just walk alone in front of me.
In fact, Princess Du Yu wanted to invite Mr. Wu to go with the car, on the one hand, out of respect for Mr. Wu. On the other hand, Du Yu also thought twice, although he was trying to overcome public opinion in front of everyone, according to Wu Weiyi's meaning. But in fact, there were still some scruples in his heart, so he sent someone to call Wu Weiyi over with anxiety.
Wu Weiyi was originally walking in front of Du Yu's car, but when he heard the princess's call, he turned around again, and when he went to the side of the car, he smiled and said to Du Yu, who was sitting in the car:
"I wonder what the princess is calling for here?"
As soon as Du Yu saw Wu Weiyi, he felt a little peaceful in his heart for some reason, so he also asked with a smile:
"After some knowledge, this palace knows that Mr. Wu is a great talent in the world, not only has the talent and virtue of the heavens and latitudes, but also has the unpredictable strategy...... However, this palace still doesn't quite understand, since this Picheng has fallen into the hands of the royal brother of this palace, how can it be easy to retreat? Mr. only said yes but it didn't hurt to go, but I don't know what kind of plan Mr. has? ”
"Don't worry, princess, when we get to Picheng, everything will be known!"
......
Between the words, Du Yu and his entourage have come to the west gate tower of Picheng, only to see that the west gate tower is still closed, but the strange thing is that there is no one on the city wall, only to hear the wind holding the flag on the city tower and fluttering wantonly.
Just when everyone was suspicious, they saw that half of their heads poked out from the city tower and peeked down. Then it didn't take long for the drawbridge of the west gate to slowly fall, and the city gate slowly opened half of it.
Du Yu and his entourage didn't know where they were, and they didn't know if there was fraud in the city, so no one dared to get up and enter the city rashly. Du Yu looked at Wu Weiyi, and then at the city tower, and he also looked at a loss.
"Look, princess, isn't this someone coming?"
Du Yu looked towards the city tower, and sure enough, he saw a person out of the city gate and walked towards them. Everyone looked at it carefully, but this person was dressed as an old man. It turned out to be none other than the sweeper who swept the floor in the city that day and earned Du Jiang Shushi into the city.
"Mr. Wu, everything is arranged safely now. Please sir, relax! ”
I saw that the "old man" actually gave Wu Weiyi a fist salute, and lowered his head to report to Wu Weiyi. Seeing Wu Weiyi nodded slightly, he smiled at him:
"There's Brother Lao Mo Zhai!"
As soon as Wu Weiyi's words came out, Du Yu and the left and right were shocked:
"What?! Mr. Wu, what do you say this is? ”
I saw that the man laughed with Wu Weiyi, and took off all the gums and false beards on his face.
Only then did everyone suddenly realize that this "old man" turned out to be Mo Zhai who had changed his appearance and dressed up.
I only heard Mo Zhai continue to report to Wu Weiyi and the others:
"Sir, the Shu soldiers of Dujiang ate the wine soaked in croton overnight, and the whole army was poisoned by the laxative profit early this morning. We effortlessly defeated Du Lie, who was guarding the north gate, and then used the tiger talisman we found to defraud the east gate. Du Jiang didn't know the reality of our side, and the soldiers were out of strength because of the leakage, and they really didn't dare to take the enemy lightly, and now they have led the army to retreat outside the east and south gates. ”
Du Yu was surprised and happy when he heard it, but after thinking about it, he had some worries from joy:
"It turns out that this is Mr. Wu's so-called '100,000 ambush soldiers'?! But...... According to Mo Zhai, Brother Wang's army is still surrounded by the east and south gates. I'm afraid that Picheng will be alone and can't defend it. ”
Wu Weiyi still sold a deal with Du Yu and didn't break it with her. In this way, the princess Du Yu, accompanied by Wu Weiyi and Mo Zhai, re-entered Picheng. I saw that at this time, Picheng was in a mess. Houses have been ransacked, and the streets and alleys are filled with the smell of sour decay, which makes people nauseous.
When the people returned to the city, they scattered and went back to their own houses. After Wu Weiyi and Du Yu entered the city, they first went to the east and south gates to inspect the towers. I saw that Du Jiang's Shu division was now stationed outside the city gate, stretching for several miles, and it was impossible to see the end of the camp at a glance.
"Her Royal Highness the Princess, although I am very sure that I can force back the Shu master who came this time. However...... Du Jiang has now won the momentum of the king of Shu, and he can't compete with it. And the people of Picheng have enjoyed peace for a long time, and they must not know the viciousness of Du Jiang's methods. The princess still needs to let the people know a thing or two, if you want to follow the princess, we will leave in two days and go to the country of Yelang for temporary refuge. ”
Du Yu was a little sad when she heard this, although the territory of Shu is not vast, she has never been out of Shu since she was a child. Now that I heard Wu Weiyi say that he was going to leave for Yelang Country in the next few days, he couldn't help but feel a little reluctant to Picheng, so he stood alone on the city tower, looked ahead, and muttered:
"He is leaving, and he is a seedling. The line is vigorous, and the center is shaky. Those who know me say that I am worried; Those who do not know me say what I want. Who is this? ......”
Wu Weiyi was about to discuss business with Du Yu, but when he heard Du Yu come to sing this lyrical chanting, he couldn't help but feel a shock in his heart:
"Princess...... What you just chanted, but what the Zhou people sang "Huang Li"? ”
The princess looked back at Wu Weiyi with a surprised face:
"Mr. Wu actually knows this poem? But this poem ...... This poem was written by Sister Shi in Shu back then! Mr. has never been to Shu, how can he know this work? ”
In fact, how could Wu Weiyi not know this poem, regardless of whether he ate this mouthful. As part of the Book of Songs. National style. Wang Feng", even the ordinary people of his time have more or less heard this well-known tragic work. But what Wu Weiyi didn't expect was that he would be chanted word for word from the princess's mouth here today, how could he not be surprised?
"Oh, don't be surprised, princess, this poem is very popular among us. This poem is allegorical in the scene, and the scenery is used to express its melancholy. And the anxiety contained in it due to the passage of time and the fact that things are wrong is felt by many people who are also living in other places. It's just that...... Who is this Sister Shi that the princess is talking about? Is this "Huang Li" really made by her? ”
Du Yu nodded and said:
"It's true, more than ten years ago, there was a civil strife in Wangji in the temple of the Zhou people, and Sister Shi and her twin sister fled to Pakistan under the protection of several Zhou guards. And the lord of this country of Pakistan doesn't know why, knowing that they are descendants of the Zhou family, but he is against them. On the surface, he treated them respectfully, but secretly sent people down to intercept them. At that time, the father of this palace was discussing the truce with the lord of Bashu on the border of Bashu, and was ready to turn war with Pakistan into a jade silk and a bloody alliance with Pakistan. Originally, the life and death of those Zhou guards had nothing to do with our Shu Kingdom, but on the way back from my father, I heard a child's cry in the car. My father searched around, but found a pair of girls among the bushes by the roadside. In addition, a silk book was also found that was left behind, detailing the circumstances of the incident. It turned out that the father of this pair of girls turned out to be the prince who killed his brother and seized the throne and claimed to be the Son of Heaven. The father knew that this matter was a little strange, so after returning to the palace, the father adopted the two of them, in order to hide people's eyes, but only said that the two daughters were the daughters of the surname Shi. ”
Princess Du Yu's description really surprised Wu Weiyi, and he suddenly remembered the prince's tomb that he had inexplicably crossed over when he was on the scientific expedition with the team, and he thought to himself:
"That's right! That's right! The civil strife in the court of King Zhou in Du Yu's mouth must have been the rebellion of the prince's dynasty that occurred around 520 BC! And isn't this the time when the prince's tomb was located by our Nanyang scientific expedition team? Is this a coincidence? Still is...... Is there really another providence in the dark? ”
Thinking of this, Wu Weiyi couldn't help but continue to ask Du Yu:
"Where is this sister Shi who doesn't know the princess now?"
I saw Du Yu shake his head, sighed and replied:
"A few years ago, they both said goodbye overnight, and I don't know why. Before leaving, he left a silk letter with me, saying that he was going to Chu to complete the unfinished business. I asked my father several times about this matter, but my father only said that it was all for the family affairs of those Zhou people, and asked me not to mention it again in the future. ”
"I'm afraid there must be some reason for this, and I always have some feelings that I can't get rid of that Fire God Sect!"
Wu Weiyi looked ahead and thought for a while, and then blurted out a whisper. Although the voice was very soft, it was still heard by Du Yu. Du Yu was startled, turned his head sideways and looked at Wu Weiyi, as if he had thought of something:
"Mr. Wu mean? …… Will the chaos in Shu have something to do with my two sisters now? ”
Wu Weiyi was silent, and after a long time, he still couldn't think of the stakes. Just shook his head and replied:
"I don't know...... Or maybe...... It's just that I've been overly sensitive to this cult recently. ”
