To the north of the Hanging Gourd, on the banks of the Rushui River, the palace, Yuwen Weicheng is playing with his cousin Wang Xi, who is the nephew of the Duchess of the Kingdom of Yu, and the cousin of Queen Yi (Princess Xiyang) Wei Chi Chifan.

Wang Xi is the mother family of the Queen Mother and Queen Di, Ren Xiaozuo Wubo, commanding the forbidden army, guarding the Son of Heaven, in this army, he is the support of the Duchess of the Kingdom of Xuan, and as long as he is free on weekdays, he will ask his aunt, cousin, and cousin to say goodbye.

So the young son of heaven Yuwen Weicheng is very familiar with his cousin Wang Xi, he doesn't know the current situation, he doesn't know what his situation is, he only knows that there are often people to play with him, and his life is very lively.

The first day is coming, Yuwen Weicheng thinks of the palace in Xiyang again, misses the brothers and sisters, and misses Aya, because every time it is the first day in the past, the mansion will be very lively, and the city of Xiyang will also be very lively.

Yuwen Weicheng is homesick, but he doesn't know when he will be able to go back, and his cousin often brings some gadgets to let him forget his troubles while playing.

Bamboo horses are very common toys, boys like to play the most, at this moment, Yuwen Weicheng and several playmates, riding their respective bamboo horses pretending to be cavalry, brandishing wooden knives, happily 'besieged' Wang Xi pretending to be the enemy.

Wei Chi Chifan watched his son play on the side, without saying a word, the first day is coming, and his son is going to attend the big scene again, and he will be restricted by various etiquette rules and regulations.

There was a dog barking next to it, it was the little white dog held in Yu Chi Mingyue's arms barking, Yu Chi Chifan turned his head to look, and saw his mother Wang sitting next to Yu Chi Mingyue, talking with Wang Xin, the uncle of Xiaozuo Palace.

Wang Xin is the nephew of the Shu princess Wang, the prime minister, and the cousin of the Shu King Wei Chi Dan, who will come to greet the Son of Heaven whenever he is free, greet the Duchess of the State of Yu, and greet the two sisters of Yu Chi Chifan by the way.

Of course, Yu Chi Chi knew that the other party actually wanted to take the opportunity to get close to Yu Chi Mingyue.

Wei Chi Mingyue was widowed on the day of his wedding, and sooner or later he would have to remarry, Yu Chi Chifan knew that Wang Xin's family background was good, his appearance was good, and his age was suitable, and when the time came, the Wang family really wanted to send a matchmaker to match, and his parents would not refuse.

Marriage events, parents' orders, matchmakers' words, if Wang Xin wants to marry Wei Chi Mingyue, in fact, he doesn't need to get close to it, Wei Chi Chi Fan saw this person so attentive to his sister, and he was relieved.

It would be great if the hard-working sister could marry a man who likes her.

"Rush... Yes! ”

Yuwen Weicheng, who was "galloping on his horse", fell to the ground with a stumble, and Wei Chi Chifan was a little nervous when he saw this, but saw that his son quickly got up and wanted to continue to "pursue the enemy".

When passing by, Wei Chi Chifan hurriedly took his son in his arms, took out a silk scarf to help him wipe his sweat, and Wang Xi, who had been playing with his cat's waist, finally had a chance to rest.

The maid brought a warm cheese oar, Yuwen Weicheng drank it after a few cooes, and was just about to continue riding the bamboo horse, but was held down by Yu Chi Chifan: "Thorn Lang, take a rest." ”

"Hmm."

Yuwen Weicheng sat aside, holding the bamboo horse and couldn't put it down, this bamboo horse was exquisitely made, Yu Chi couldn't help but look at it a few more times, and then stared.

Wang Xi, who was resting on the side, saw that his cousin seemed to be a little distracted, hesitated for a moment, stepped forward and asked in a low voice, "Queen, I don't know what to order?" ”

"Huh? Ah....." Wei Chi Chifan's heart was a little confused, but his face was very calm, "Little Uncle Wu, is the prime minister back?" ”

"When the official entered the palace, the prime minister had not returned to the camp."

Wei Chi Chi groaned when he heard this, in order to cover up Fang Cai's gaffe, Wang Xi only said that the other party was in a depressed mood, so he didn't say anything more and sat back in his place.

The husband of his cousin is Yuwen Wen, the king of Yi (King of Xiyang), who is guarding the hanging gourd, and Yuwen Weicheng still doesn't know that it is his biological father who is crusading against him.

Such a human tragedy, Wang Xi felt that as a bystander, he should not talk too much, he could not sprinkle salt on the wound, the prime minister took 20,000 cavalry to Xizhou in the south, the enemy army would only be crushed, and when the reinforcements were cut off, the hanging gourd would be almost over.

When the time comes, whether Yu Wenwen is killed in battle or captured alive, the end will be miserable.

Wang Xi was silent, and so was Wei Chi Chifan, but she couldn't calm down in her heart, the bamboo horse that her son was playing with was newly made by Wang Xi, and she saw a mark on it.

The mark is inconspicuous, but it is the code that she agreed with Sima Zhang Dingfa of the Xiyang Royal Mansion when she went to Yecheng, and there is this mark, which means that the people in the palace are nearby.

This mark is on the bamboo horse, indicating that the person who made the bamboo horse is very likely to be Zhang Dingfa or his subordinates, so the moment Wei Chi Chifan saw the mark, his heart was mixed.

Since the day of her sister's wedding, she and her son have been described as being under house arrest, in addition to her mother's family, Wei Chi Chifan has only her personal maid Cuiyun trustworthy, facing a confusing future, she has been worried but isolated and helpless, and has no real trustworthy support.

The son can rely on her, but she has no one to rely on, of course her parents are very good to her, but when it comes to the critical time, once the interests of the family are at stake, her parents can only persuade her to "focus on the overall situation".

What if the son can't keep it, and if the parents let her remarry?

Yu Chi Mingyue is bitter in her heart, and Yu Chi Chi is not bitter in her heart, but Cuiyun is useless, such a huge pressure can only be borne by her alone, and her husband is besieged in the hanging gourd, and I don't know if I can hold on.

The family is close at hand, but they can't see each other, and when it really comes to the day of meeting, I am afraid that it will be the day of farewell, and Wei Chi Chifan feels sad from his heart every time he thinks of this.

And now, Zhang Dingfa, whose life and death are unknown, actually sent a message, telling her that there are still people from the palace around, although Wei Chi Chifan doesn't know how the other party did it, and he doesn't know what the other party's specific situation is now, but when he thinks of someone who can be relied on, the string that is tight in his heart can finally be loosened a little.

Things seemed to have taken a turn for the better, the dark clouds in the sky showed a little sunshine, looking at the son who was riding on a bamboo horse and was about to continue to 'fight', Wei Chi Chi made up his mind and secretly made up his mind.

No matter what, keep Thorn safe too!

。。。。。。

Outside the palace, several young men pushed the cart and left the treasury under the command of the guards, Zhang Dingfa was limping and limping with others.

Telling too many lies will become a habit, pretending to be a cripple for a long time, Zhang Dingfa almost thought that he was really a cripple, but in order to deceive others, he could only lie to himself first, and he was really lame to deceive himself.

The change in Yecheng, Zhang Dingfa and the guards of the Xiyang palace fell into a desperate situation, it was the father of the princess of Xiyang, the prince of the state of Xi, Chi Shun who let them live, Zhang Dingfa and his party escaped from Yecheng, but did not run to Huangzhou.

They hid in a secret stronghold on the outskirts of the city, and tried every means to contact Wu Ming and others who were hiding in the city, and decided to continue to lurk inside and outside Yecheng to find a way to rescue Princess Xiyang and the prince.

Princess Xiyang and Shizi were placed under house arrest in the palace, and Shizi was actually proclaimed as the Son of Heaven, so Zhang Dingfa and Wu Ming wanted to save people It was simply wishful thinking, but this was not a reason for their inaction.

As the guard of Xiyang Palace, he must be loyal to his duties, Zhang Dingfa reported safety to Xiyang through the flying pigeon, and then worked with Wu Ming to prepare for the rescue of the princess and the prince.

The King of Xiyang will definitely call, Zhang Dingfa and Wu Ming are convinced of this, so before that, they will have to find ways to protect the Princess of Xiyang and the prince.

The traitorous minister took the prince to 'drive the expedition', Wu Ming stayed in Yecheng and continued to think of a way, while Zhang Dingfa led someone to find a way to impersonate and follow the official army south.

He was originally a northerner, and there was no problem with his accent, and more than a dozen of his subordinates also learned the northerner accent, successfully blended into the team, and became a young man in the army.

But the Son of Heaven was heavily guarded, Zhang Dingfa and others could not approach at all, and after a few months, there was no clue, but a few people were temporarily conscripted to the battlefield, followed the official army to attack the Hanging Fortress, and never came back.

A few days ago, Zhang Dingfa, who was pretending to be a craftsman, finally got a chance and was called to make a bamboo horse, he knew that this must be a toy dedicated to the Son of Heaven (the son of the world), so he engraved the mark agreed with the princess, hoping to let the princess see it and let the other party know that there are people around.

However, the princess may not notice the mark on the bamboo horse's head, but Zhang Dingfa will not give up, because he has patience.

Xiyang Wang Yuwen Wen, guarding the hanging gourd as solid as a rock, the traitor will send the Son of Heaven back to Yecheng sooner or later, and there is still a chance.

Zhang Dingfa was pondering, when he suddenly heard the surrounding discussions, looked up, and saw movement outside the east side of the camp.

At this time, he was halfway up a mound, so he could see the situation outside the huge camp, and he saw that the east side of the camp was dusty, and it seemed that a large number of cavalry were about to enter the camp.

Seeing this situation, there were soldiers next to him who exchanged ears: "Hey, I said, is the prime minister who led the troops south back?" ”
