Chapter 29: The Twin Flyers, North and South

A thousand words, the Tao is not exhausted, obsessed with becoming obsessed, looking back at yesterday, I can't tell the sorrowful thoughts.

In order to protect Xu Yanyan, Wang Yan rushed out of the reeds to lead away the pursuers of Zhao Yingyuan's department, Xu Yanyan hid in the reeds, and witnessed him being shot to the ground by an arrow, Wang Yan thought that she was not on the way south, and she didn't think that Wang Yan had already died at the hands of the thieves.

Xu Yanyan's father Xu Zhi, as the minister of the country, wanted to hang the beam and die, but because he couldn't bear to leave her, he took her all the way south and fled south, not wanting to be surrounded by the army in the nameless village of Beizhili and martyred.

Xu Yanyan's mother died early and was brought up by her father since she was a child, Xu Zhi is the whole of her life, but she is only thirteen years old, and she has indeed lost all of her.

The pain of losing her father made her almost collapse, and the huge grief made her close her heart, cut off her connection with the whole world, and the whole person became withdrawn and speechless, but although Xu Zhi left, he found a worthy person for her.

In the days when she was trapped in the camp, Wang Yan followed Xu Zhizhi's trust, loved her like a relative, and took care of her, and at that time, a glimmer of light appeared in her gray sky.

Xu Yanyan watched Wang Yan feed her water, feed her, fight for her in the same camp, and sleep with her in her clothes, Xu Yanyan's gloomy world became brighter little by little because of this meticulous care, and she slowly came out of the grief of losing her father.

Unconsciously, the girl's heart slowly opened, and she slowly had a different kind of affection for Wang Yan, which was a love affair with each other.

Everything seems to be slowly improving, but after all, the barracks is not a place to stay for a long time, she is trapped in the barracks as a daughter, and the danger is self-evident, so Wang Yan is worried all day long.

When Zhao Yingyuan's army was exhausted and looking for a ferry, she and Wang Yan found an opportunity and escaped from the camp of the army.

Standing by the canal, she thought that she could start a new life from now on, but it backfired, and after watching her father die for her, she saw another man fall into the danger of death for her.

Xu Yanyan hid in the reeds, watching Wang Yan lead the pursuers away, her mind couldn't help but go blank, the only thing was the tears in her eyes, which flowed down like broken threads.

After taking away her father, God took away another piece of light from her life, and she fell into endless darkness again.

She stood alone by the river, holding the jade pendant given to her by Wang Yan in her hand, looking around, her heart was at a loss, she wanted to jump down, jump into the sparkling Grand Canal, end her life, and go to Huangquan with her beloved.

The two men who love her the most are willing to give their lives in order to live well for her, and her life has taken on a different meaning.

She stood by the river, from sunset to sunrise, and finally resolutely decided to follow Wang Yan's arrangement, go south to find Wang Yan's parents, and do something for Wang Yan.

Xu Yanyan was alone, going south along the canal, the hardships of the road can be imagined, she begged all the way, gritted her teeth and persevered, and finally fell outside Nanjing.

When she woke up, she was already in Meixiang Building.

At this time, Hou Fangyu was forced out of Nanjing by Ruan Dacheng, Li Xiangjun no longer saw guests, and Li Zhenli urgently needed to find an existence that could replace Li Xiangjun.

Xu Yanyan was born in a family of eunuchs, a scholarly family, and she has an elegant and beautiful atmosphere that ordinary women do not have, and she is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, so she has become the best candidate for Li Zhenli's training.

Xu Yanyan was alone and had no money on her, so she stayed.

Soon after, with the entry of the Qing army, a large number of officials and gentry who were unwilling to take care of themselves went south, and the news of the Qingzhou Revolution and their arrival began to spread in Nanjing.

Since ancient times, the land of fireworks is the place where all kinds of information gather, the scholars from the north denounced the imperial court for not wanting to forge ahead, and sat back to watch the defeat of the Shandong rebels, they told the tragedy of the battle of Qingzhou, and at the same time conveyed the news that Wang Yan swore to die and fight out of the encirclement.

Xu Yanyan couldn't help but burst into tears!

The news that Wang Yan is still alive made Xu Yanyan cheer up again, but like today, she can only think bitterly.

In the inner hall, Wang Yan and Xu Yanyan looked at each other, looking at her with tears streaming down her face, he felt guilty in his heart, he didn't dare to imagine how a little woman was alone, traveled thousands of miles to Nanjing, and was trapped in the land of fireworks.

The bitterness and grievances in it, I am afraid that no one will know, Wang Yan's heart is so painful that he almost suffocates it. He couldn't bear it anymore, and he couldn't bear to see Xu Yanyan suffer a little bit of hurt and grievance.

At this time, Wang Yan not only had the promise he gave to Xu Zhi at the beginning, but also his deep love for Xu Yanyan.

He walked over step by step and hugged her into his arms.

Ask the world, what is love, and teach people to live and die!

This hug seems to last forever.

When the two met, although they didn't say a word, they were worth a thousand words, and the grievances in Xu Yanyan's heart and the hardships she suffered all the way turned into bitter joy with Wang Yan's embrace.

"Brother Wang!"

"Yan Yan!"

I don't know how long it took for the two to separate in the soft call of the other.

In the outer hall, Liu Shun and Qian Yifeng sat in the corner and waited and talked at the same time. Both of them were very excited about what happened today, but their feelings were not the same.

Liu Shun just felt that he had seen the world today, and Li Niangzi's singing voice was moving, but as for any poems, he didn't feel it at all.

After all, Qian Yifeng is a scholar, and he usually yearns to fight with humanity, and today's Wang Yan's behavior satisfies all his fantasies, and the worship of Wang Yan in his heart has reached another height.

The two talked about today's events, one said that the song was good, and the other said that the words were unique, and before they knew it, the time had come to three o'clock.

A wave of sleepiness hit, and when the two saw that Wang Yan hadn't come out yet, they thought very dirtyly, maybe Xu Niangzi looked at her son-in-law as a talent, and maybe she would stay overnight.

Qian Yifeng has been in the army for a long time, and he has long been taken bad by the old soldiers, Liu Shun is just a look, he already understands the other party's thoughts.

At that moment, the two got up together, ready to say goodbye and leave, and come over to pick up Wang Yan tomorrow morning. But at this moment, Wang Yan retreated from the inner hall.

He and Xu Yanyan told their respective experiences and their love for each other, and they forgot the time when their love was so strong.

It was only Xu Yanyan who reminded Wang Yan when he saw that it was not early, which reminded him that Liu Shun and Qian Yifeng were still waiting outside.

Wang Yan saw that Xu Yanyan also needed to rest, so he agreed to see him again tomorrow and said goodbye.

"Let's go, go back to the inn, go to Lord Zuo tomorrow, and then find a way to raise money!" Wang Yan saw that the two were about to leave, so he immediately greeted him and walked out directly.

After returning to the inn, the three of them hurriedly washed and rested, but they only slept for two hours, and the sky was already bright, so they were in a hurry to get up again.

Not long after, Chen Zilong had already come to the inn to wait, and everyone asked Xiaosi to go outside to buy some food, hurriedly deal with the fasting, and went to Zuo Maodi's mansion.

It had been some time since Zuo Mao returned to the dynasty, and before he returned to Nanjing, Chen Hongfan got the news that his surrender had been exposed, so he abandoned his official position and fled north.

A small number of courtiers in the Hongguang court were wary of Chen Hongfan's return to the south alone, but they were unable to impeach him because there was no evidence, and his abandonment of the official and his flight north was tantamount to not admitting himself and admitting the fact of surrendering to the Qing Dynasty.

Zuo Maodi came back too quickly, and when he arrived at the Yangtze River, Chen Hongfan got the news, so although Chen Hongfan abandoned the official and fled, he went too quickly and did not prepare in advance, and as a result, he was delayed by the river for a day, and was taken by the Jinyi Wei who caught up later.

After Zuo Maodi returned to Nanjing, Chen Hongfan's surrender to the Qing Dynasty was further confirmed, and after the three sessions were tried, he was beheaded in the city.

As Zuo Maodi and other members of the Northern Mission returned to Nanjing, and the collapse of peace talks with the Qing court was completely confirmed, Zuo Maodi hurriedly wrote to the emperor, requesting a quick change in the national policy to deal with the current situation.

Zuo Maodi had great ambitions, but the situation did not develop in the direction he imagined, and the emperor was overwhelmed by the fake prince case, and he had not been in court for many days, which made Zuo Maodi, who had a heart, depressed.

Wang Yan and they came by coincidence, it happened that the emperor was not in the early dynasty today, and although Zuo Maodi hung the title of the right attendant of the military department, in fact, during his northern envoy to the Qing court, the practice had already been replaced, so he happened to be at home.

At this time, when he heard that the next person came to report that Chen Zilong and Wang Yan were visiting, Zuo Maodi was immediately overjoyed and hurriedly went to greet him in person.

"Lord Zuo!" The group saw Zuo Maodi greet him in person and hurriedly saluted.

"Brother Otaru, Shiheng." Zuo Maodi personally held the hands of the two of them, pulled them and walked to the house, "Shiheng is far away, let's go in." ”

The group followed Zuo Maodi to the living room and sat down, and after the maid served refreshments, Zuo Maodi asked, "Isn't Shiheng stationed in Sizhou?" Why did you suddenly come to Nanjing. ”

"Late Sheng came to Nanjing this time, just because he wanted to discuss something important with Lord Zuo." Wang Yan said his intention directly.

"Looking for me to discuss?" The four towns of Jiangbei have become the towns of the Tang Dynasty, Wang Yan belongs to the command of Gao Yuanzhao, the son of Xingping, and is not under the direct jurisdiction of the imperial court. Shi Heng just said it directly. ”

"Your Excellency, you can know that Li Chuang has been defeated and retreated to the area of Dengzhou." Wang Yan didn't say what he wanted to discuss, but asked again.

"Shiheng's news, because it should be more than half a month ago." Zuo Maodi nodded, "The latest report of the imperial court, the Chuang army was caught up by Azig in the southwest region of Henan, and was defeated in several battles, and has led the troops south to Huguang. ”

Zuo Maodi is the minister of the DPRK and China, and the news is much faster and more comprehensive than Wang Yan, and after listening to this latest report, Wang Yan and Chen Zilong couldn't help but be surprised.

The Qing army was defeated by the Ming Dynasty, forced the first emperor to death, and seized half of the rivers and mountains in the north, and the Qing army was able to kill the army again, defeated and lost, chasing Shaanxi from Beijing, and chasing Henan from Shaanxi.

The strength shown by the Qing army made Wang Yan and Chen Zilong frightened and even frightened.
