Chapter 69 The Return
Because of rumors, Jin Guo not only lost the assistance of many countries, but also caused the embarrassment of being embattled and suffering from the enemy. In order to solve the danger of the besieged city, Yan Fu racked his brains, but still did not see much effect, and the Mongolian soldiers still approached the imperial city of Jin at a very fast speed.
The majestic Imperial City of the past has long been panicked, and it has lost its former glory, not to mention that those ordinary people have fled in all directions after hearing the news, and naturally no one has the leisure to take care of the prisoner.
Speaking of Zhu Zhen, who is in an enemy country, although he lacks Zhu Gui's guard, he is calm and rarely idle. More than 20 years have passed, life and death have been seen, and everything can be relieved! At this moment, he is like a person outside the world, facing everything and being idle, and letting the outside make a disturbance without any interference! Holding an idle book in his hand, the wind and rain are unshakable, letting his family and country do the world, and hiding it in his chest.
Contrary to those who fled in all directions, a beautiful woman dressed in Hanfu with a backpack and a horse whip in her hand walked towards the place where Zhu Zhen was imprisoned.
Because Zhu Zhen refused to cooperate with Wan Yan Fu, and he had the intention of killing the king, in case Wan Yan Fu ordered this place to be guarded layer by layer. Although the rest of the place has become a mess, the guards here are still dutifully guarding.
And the woman who dared to come here at this time was none other than Wanyan Meizhu, the wife of Zhu Zhen, the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom. Wanyan Meizhu came confidently but was stopped by the guards, and finally got what she wanted, but she kicked out of the roadblock at the door, no matter how good her temper was, she couldn't bear it at this time, Wanyan Meizhu's beautiful eyes were full of anger, and she stared at the guards coldly and said, "If you don't want to die, get out of the way." β
Wan Yan Meizhu has been away from the Jin Kingdom for more than 20 years, even if she comes back and not all the guards have seen it, how can the guards who obey Wan Yan Fu easily let her go. Zhongzhi said: "Your Majesty has an order, Zhu Zhen is a prisoner of the enemy country, and he refuses to visit for the safety of the imperial city. β
Wanyan Meizhu unceremoniously raised a whip and slapped it on the guard, pointed at him and said, "Even this princess doesn't know it, it seems that there is no need for your dog eyes to grow." After another whip on the guard, he smiled and said, "But this princess is in a good mood today, so I will show mercy to you to tell Wan Yan Fu, Zhu Zhen, I will take Wan Yan Meizhu away!" He glared at him, ignored him, and walked into the courtyard.
Where did such a fierce guard, who didn't know his identity, dare to provoke, and instructed the other guards on the side not to be careless, so he immediately returned to the emperor.
Zhu Zhen, who was in the room, heard the voice and the hand holding the book trembled slightly, and he couldn't forget that voice in his life, he stared at the door without blinking, and stood up excitedly.
The door squeaked open, and Wan Yan Meizhu stepped in. In an instant, the eyes were glued together, and there were no sweet words; There was no hug tightly, but people were moved to tears. After more than 20 years, although the years have made him vicissitudes, his style is still the same; After more than 20 years, although she is not glamorous, she still makes him unforgettable.
After staring at each other for a long time, Wanyan Meizhu broke the situation first, she walked quickly to Zhu Zhen's side, took off the burden on her body and put it on the table to open it, there were two Jin Guo guard clothes inside, and she didn't explain much: "Now the palace is in chaos, only a few people outside are guarding, you immediately change your clothes and solve them, we can take advantage of the chaos to leave." As he spoke, he shook off his clothes and helped him put them on his body.
Although Zhu Zhen didn't want to leave all the time, it was not difficult to leave with his skills, but his only daughter couldn't help but worry when she was by the enemy's side, so she raised her hand to stop her movements and said, "Isn't our daughter in his hands?" In case γγγγγγ"
Wanyan Meizhu relieved and dispelled his worries and said, "Don't worry, isn't the prince in Hangzhou!" He said he would keep Feifei fine. β
He had heard of Lu Jue's ability more than once, so he naturally believed in him, so he no longer hesitated to change his clothes and followed Wan Yan Meizhu out of the courtyard where he had been imprisoned for more than 20 years.
Although there were a few guards blocking the road, how could they be two opponents, and they were all sent away without effort.
After Yan Fu learned of this, he personally led people to rush to the prisoner Zhu Zhen, and when he saw the corpses of the guards all over the ground, he knew that he was a step too late. At this time, Wan Yanfu really hated his own softness, why did he listen to the words of the fifth brother at the beginning, but now he is returning to the mountain, and it will definitely be a big trouble in the future. If you have made a mistake once, you can't add to make a mistake, he didn't wait for half a moment to give an order, and ordered all city gates to be strictly guarded, as long as there are suspicious people, he would rather kill by mistake than let go!
The entire palace was already panicked, and the escape of the enemy captives added to the chaos. At this time, who would care about the two people in guard clothes, and the two of them got out of the palace of the Jin Kingdom without danger along the way.
When the people sent by Wanyan Fu arrived at the gate of the palace, Zhu Zhen and Wanyan Meizhu had already disappeared, and the guards dared to run non-stop to the various city gates and strictly investigate.
After leaving the palace, the two did not dare to stop, changed into the clothes of ordinary people and rushed to the city gate, walked out of the city first, and rode on the fast horse that had been placed outside the city early and galloped all the way.
The two of them were not all smooth sailing on the way back to Daqi, they not only had to hide from Yan Fu's pursuers, but also had to be wary of the Mongolian soldiers who intercepted everywhere when they learned that Zhu Zhen had fled, and they were cautious along the way.
The closer he got to the border of Daqi, the more excited Zhu Zhen became, and the more than 20 years of parting finally came to an end. He is fearless to bear, but all eager to return, a day and a night of sleepless, Zhu Zhen finally set foot on his homeland again after a 24-year absence! He stood in this haunting place and found it difficult to control himself, how many times he dreamed of returning to his homeland, and now it has finally come true, Zhu Zhen couldn't help but burst into tears, and muttered to himself the sentence he wanted to say most in the past 20 years: "I'm finally back!" β
No one can experience the pain of homesickness for more than 20 years, Zhu Zhen is so excited that he can't control himself, and Wanyan Meizhu is also moved, but this is not the time to be sentimental. Led the horse to his side and leaned on his shoulder, and said softly: "Third brother, the crisis of Daqi is only a temporary solution, there are still many serious things waiting for the third brother to deal with at this moment, let's go on the road immediately!" β
"Good" Zhu Zhen knew in his heart, so he was no longer sentimental, only to see him kneeling on the ground and leaning over the ground, calming down the surging in his heart before getting up.
In this way, it only took half an hour for the two of them to rush to Huchengyi, the last defensive city of Daqi, and to meet Su Yuzhu and Ye Phosphorus, who were sent by Lu Jue to escort the army tokens. Ye Phosphorus and Su Yuzhu not only brought tokens here, but also 300,000 elite soldiers, as well as sufficient grain and grass, and five Shenji cannons transferred from the Shenji Battalion. Like a tiger with wings, Zhu Zhen immediately arranged his troops to deploy his troops, and it only took two days to use the unbearable Huchengyi, which was already impregnable at this moment.
There is no need to worry about everything when everything is ready, and the most urgent thing now is the safety of Lu Jue who is in a difficult situation. The two of them did not stop and prepared simple bags with Su and Ye, and after arranging everything, they embarked on the journey to Hangzhou.
At this time, he really embarked on the return journey, Zhu Zhen's mood was no longer heavy, and he also had the leisure to enjoy the scenery along the road, how to see enough of the scenery of his homeland for more than 20 years! Unintentionally, he found that Yan Meizhu was silent, only to realize that he only cared about the joy when he returned, but ignored her feelings, his enemy country was her homeland! He has tasted the pain of having a home to return to, how could he not understand her mood at this time. Zhu Zhen held her hand and said, "Meizhu, don't worry, I will be your heaven in the future!" β
More than 20 years have passed, and now he can finally take care of her for a lifetime and fulfill his promise, although it is not too late!
Wanyan Meizhu smiled when she heard this, shook hands with him and whispered: "I don't have to think nonsense, as long as I can stay with the third brother and Feifei and recognize each other, everything is worth it." But after thinking about it, in order for his family to be reunited, he took advantage of the Zhou family and Zhou Ruoshui, who he was most ashamed of, and his mood became heavy.
How shrewd Zhu Zhen is to say that she is all she has, how could she miss something about her, and she knows why she is distressed. Holding her hand tightly in her hand, she said, "Now that I am here, you don't need to worry about everything, and I will take the blame for the second brother." He moved to her side, held her shoulder, and continued, "Second brother is good. β
Wanyan Meizhu smiled softly and said, "As in the past"
Zhu Zhen smiled and said, "Think about it, the second brother is my ghost and god military master, who else would come up with such a trick except him." I want to γγγγγγ back then."
I can't stop talking about Zhou Wenfeng and Zhu Zhen, so it can be seen that the relationship between the two brothers is not something that time can erase.
Seeing that he couldn't stop talking, Wanyan Meizhu smiled softly and interrupted: "This plan was thought up by the prince." β
"The Prince?" There is clearly skepticism in this statement.
It is also a sick bed, a young man who is weak and rarely goes out to see shallow, although he has read a few sage books, but the cruelty of reality cannot be compared to the words on paper. But he forgot about them back then, which one didn't come from that time, and he would naturally have insight after more experience. Lu Jue was pushed into the public target at a young age, this person calculated, that person framed, if he was still a stupid boy, he would have died a few times.
"In order to make sure that I don't believe the wrong person, I haven't followed him for a day or two, naturally I know more than you have heard, and he is as good as the second brother!" Wan Yan Meizhu recalled the conversation with Lu Jue in Huaixian Water Pavilion, and listened to Zhu Zhen: "The prince said that the alliance between the Jin Kingdom and Mongolia is actually not as indestructible as it seems. Mongolia is full of ambition and cannot be willing to live under others, as long as the time comes, it will definitely attack backhand; The Emperor of Jin was suspicious by nature and had a lot of suspicions about Mongolia. If you want to solve the predicament of Daqi, you can take advantage of this, return it to others in its own way, and use the tactics of the year to attack its unpreparedness! As long as there is civil strife between the two countries, no one will be distracted and scruple about Daqi, so that the crisis of Daqi can be resolved, and the third brother can be rescued by taking advantage of the situation, killing two birds with one stone. β
Although I heard a lot of Lu Jue's deeds, I didn't expect him to have military talent. Zhu Zhen praised from the heart: "Although this plan is simple, it is a clever plan, no matter whether the two countries fight or lose, there will be damage, even if there is a victory in the future, it is not a problem for Daqi to still be able to survive and deal with it." β
Wanyan Meizhu looked at Zhu Zhen with tenderness in her eyes and said, "Third brother, the prince also promised me that if I can successfully return, he will change my face for me." I don't know if the third brother can dislike me, but he is willing to allow me to be a concubine? β
"I can't ask for it"
Twenty-four years of waiting has finally been exchanged for staying together in this world, and no one has suffered in vain in these twenty-four years of suffering!
A divisive plan is in exchange for the lives of hundreds of millions of people, but it put Wan Yanlie, who was in Hangzhou, in a dilemma, and suddenly he didn't understand what he had been fighting for so many years. Twenty-one years ago, his lover watched her leave, but he couldn't do anything to save her life; Twenty-one years later, the rise and fall of his own country, he is equally powerless! This made him even more determined that he must make the initiator of all this pay the price!
Speaking of the people who returned to the Zhou family, Zhou Ruoshui, who had been injured for several days, refused to lie in the house obediently, and when he saw Lu Jue's back in a hurry that day, he couldn't help but remember that he hadn't seen him for a few days. So he went to the small kitchen to make his favorite snacks, prepared his favorite flower tea, packed the food box and Xiao Ai, and Xiangyue went to the East Chamber.
When the three of them walked into the garden, they saw Tang Yilan and Gu Shuangyun, and they didn't know what they were doing in the rockery and flower beds. Zhou Ruoshui couldn't help but step forward curiously and asked, "What are you two doing?" β
Tang Yilan saw Zhou Ruoshui coming, and hurriedly jumped out to stop him: "Madame is standing there waiting for us to pass, this is too dangerous." As he spoke, he patted Gu Shuangyun, who was tightly covered beside him, and motioned for her to put down the tools in her hand and go over alone. When he arrived beside Zhou Ruoshui, he bowed and said, "Yilan has seen Madame." β
Zhou Ruoshui nodded to signal that she didn't need to be polite, and asked again: "It's a knife and an arrow, is there something going to happen?" β
Lu Jue has already banned it more than once, even if the sky falls, he must resist it, and don't tell Zhou Ruoshui anything about the danger. Tang Yilan naturally knew the reason here, and blinked and concealed it: "It's nothing, just do something to play with in a panicγγγγγγγ Who knew that before he finished speaking, he was exposed by Gu Shuangyun who came later.
"Didn't the master order you to set up an organ in the Zhou Mansion! Why don't you tell the truth to your wife, in fact, γγγγγγ" As soon as he turned his head and saw Tang Yilan blowing his beard and glaring at him, he immediately understood. She said something she shouldn't have said, so she immediately closed her mouth and laughed at Zhou Ruoshui dryly.
Seeing this situation, Zhou Ruoshui didn't ask any more, so he directly asked Lu Jue's whereabouts: "Can your master be in the East Chamber?" β
Tang Yilan was just about to speak, but he was cut off by Gu Shuangyun again, Gu Shuangyun pointed to the looming pavilion by the lake and said: "Master and Tingfeng are in the pavilion, Madame hurry up, it's too late for Master to leave again!" β
"Thank you" Zhou Ruoshui thanked softly, and then gently moved the lotus step to the direction of the pavilion.
Looking at Zhou Ruoshui's back, Gu Shuangyun was still smiling, and waved goodbye: "Madame go slowly, Madame go slowly." It wasn't until there was pain in her arm that she turned her head and covered her arm, glared at Tang Yilan and said, "What are you pinching me for?" β
"Have you remembered what the master said, I gave you a few looks, didn't you see it!" I didn't expect her to be so fast in addition to using poison, that she blurted out before she could stop her
Gu Shuangyun only remembered Lu Jue's ear at this time, covered his face tightly with his hands, lowered his eyebrows, and said with a bitter expression: "Yes, the master is not allowed to reveal his whereabouts to his wife, why didn't I control my mouth." Looking at Tang Yilan with a pleading glance, he said lamentingly: "What should I do? β
"What should I do, (cold salad)" After speaking, he went in the same direction as Zhou Ruoshui.
"Sister Lan, wait for me." Then Gu Shuangyun chased after him.
