Chapter 612: A Tortuous Experience
Zhao Deyan never dreamed that his wife, who had thought that he had encountered an accident on the road, would come to Dingxiang with Li Xiu, which surprised and shocked him, but he couldn't understand the reason, so after arriving in the city, he immediately asked Li Xiu about the reason for the incident.

"Haha~, this matter is simple and complicated to explain, if you explain it in one sentence, it is that Mrs. Zun was sent to Shuozhou by General Qin!" Li Xiu laughed at this time and said, after the Yang family escaped, the journey along the way was also quite legendary, and even almost died on the road, but fortunately, he came back safely in the end.
"General Qin? Qin Qiong? How did he meet my wife? Zhao Deyan couldn't help but ask even more in surprise when he heard this, in his opinion, Qin Qiong and his wife were two people who couldn't beat each other.
Seeing Zhao Deyan's puzzled appearance, Li Xiu couldn't help but laugh again, and then explained the story in detail.
It turned out that after the Yang family escaped under the protection of several guards, it was quite smooth at first, but she never expected to encounter the attack of the wolves on the way, fortunately, the several guards who protected her were the elite of the Feinu Division, desperately protecting her to escape from the wolves, but the wolves were chasing after them, after all, those guards were also injured at that time, and the wolves would not easily give up the food that was about to arrive.
In the face of the pursuit of the wolves, the Yang family and the others also desperately fled, but in the end, they really didn't have the strength to run anymore, and they saw that the wolves were about to catch up, but at this time, they suddenly encountered a Tang army, which was the army led by Qin Qiong, and seeing so many people, the wolves naturally fled in fright, which allowed the Yang family and them to escape.
Qin Qiong was originally going to go around to Jieli's rear to ambush him, and he was resting during the day and marching at night along the way, and if he met herdsmen on the way, they would all be wiped out, after all, their actions must not be known to Jieli, otherwise the entire operation of the Tang army might fail.
It is precisely because of this that when the Tang army met the Yang family and others, they were supposed to kill their mouths as before, when the bows and arrows had already been drawn, and seeing that the Yang family and these people were about to be shot into hedgehogs, fortunately, the guards from the Feinu Division shouted loudly to identify themselves, which allowed the soldiers in front to report to Qin Qiong.
Although Qin Qiong knew about Feinusi, he didn't know Zhao Deyan, in fact, Zhao Deyan's identity has always been a top secret, among the generals on the front line, except for Li Jing, no one knew that Datang had such a spy in Turkic. Therefore, Qin Qiong couldn't tell whether the identities of these people were true or not, and he was worried that these people would reveal the news of his army, so he finally decided to send someone to send the Yang family to Shuozhou City, and then Li Xiu would deal with them.
"I see, thanks to General Qin for saving the subordinates and escorting them to the horses, otherwise we may never get together again!" After listening to Li Xiu's story, Zhao Deyan couldn't help but secretly wipe the cold sweat on his forehead and said, if it weren't for the Yang family and they met Qin Qiong, I'm afraid the Yang family would really die from the wolf's mouth.
Talking about Qin Qiong, Zhao Deyan asked about the battle on the front line again, after all, now Qin Qiong's army is still biting Jieli and has achieved a lot of results, which also makes the Tang army excited, it is estimated that the news has also spread to Chang'an City, and countless people are discussing this matter.
Qin Qiong's battle report sent back to Chang'an had to pass through Li Xiu's hands every time, so he also knew this matter very well, so he chatted with Zhao Deyan, in fact, Li Jing's initial order to Qin Qiong was only to let him ambush in the Hunhe River, waiting for an opportunity to destroy the Turks' supplies, but after sneaking up on the Turks, Qin Qiong found that Jieli had signs of dividing his troops to escape, so he chased after him, so that Jieli had no time to divide his troops, and even the retreat route could not be changed, so he could only flee all the way north.
It is estimated that it was precisely because he saw Qin Qiong achieve such a big result that Li Jing finally couldn't sit still, so he accelerated to catch up, after all, on the way to Jieli's retreat, there was still a Li Ji ambush, if Li Jing didn't hurry up, maybe Jieli would be divided between Qin Qiong and Li Ji, and then there would be nothing to do with him.
Li Xiu and Zhao Deyan haven't seen each other for several years, so in addition to the war, the two of them are also idle about some things after separation, for example, Li Xiu is very interested in Zhao Deyan's years of being a spy in the Turks, and Zhao Deyan also picked out some important things about his experience over the years.
When Li Xiu came to Dingxiang City, it was already afternoon, and he had been chatting with Zhao Deyan for so long, seeing that it was about to get dark, and suddenly he thought that Zhao Deyan and the Yang family had just reunited, and I was afraid that there were many things to say between the husband and wife, so he also said goodbye and left, and when he left, he also smiled and said to Zhao Deyan: "Brother Zhao, Mrs. Zun still doesn't know your true identity, I think it's better for you to tell her personally!" ”
"Thank you, I'd like to have a meal with my wife and their family tonight, and I'll tell them who I am then, so that they can feel more at ease!" Zhao Deyan nodded when he heard this, and then looked at Li Xiu before he said tentatively, "Don Ma, do you want to see Empress Xiao?" ”
"This ...... Tomorrow, today is the day of your family reunion, I won't bother! Li Xiu was also very curious about Empress Xiao, a legendary woman, in fact, one of the reasons why he came to Dingxiang was to see each other with his own eyes, but he thought that Zhao Deyan was going to announce his identity, so he still postponed the meeting to tomorrow.
"Okay, then I'll tell her in the evening, so she can get some preparations!" Zhao Deyan spoke again when he heard this, and then personally sent Li Xiu out of the door.
Li Xiu went back to his residence to rest, and Zhao Deyan went straight to Empress Xiao, his wife Yang went to Empress Xiao as soon as she saw him, after all, their ancestors and grandchildren hadn't seen each other for a long time, and they missed each other very much.
In the original Sui Palace, where Empress Xiao's family still lives, the Tang Army soldiers outside are guarding, and no one is allowed to enter or leave unless Zhao Deyan nods, and when he entered the mansion, he immediately heard a burst of laughter from the hall, and he immediately recognized that this was the laughter of his wife and Empress Xiao, speaking of the first time he heard her laughter since he saw Empress Xiao this time.
Zhao Deyan strode into the hall, only to see Empress Xiao holding the hand of the Yang family, the ancestors and grandsons were laughing, and there were Yang Zhengdao and several of his sisters next to him, it can be said that the few remaining people of the Yang royal family are here.
"Husband, you're here, I've been hungry just now, but grandmother has to wait for you to come back before cooking!" Seeing Zhao Deyan come in, Yang immediately smiled and said, there was even a bit of coquettishness in her tone, after all, this time she was almost alive, which made her feel that her relationship with Zhao Deyan had increased again.
"Hehe, grandmother is polite, hurry up and let people eat, I'm hungry too!" Zhao Deyan couldn't help but smile gratefully at Empress Xiao when he heard Yang's words, since the family was broken, he rarely felt this kind of warmth in the family.
Although Empress Xiao is surrounded, but with Zhao Deyan here, the diet will naturally not be treated badly, but because of the lack of materials in Dingxiang City, they usually eat very simply, but today Li Xiu brought a large number of supplies, so Zhao Deyan also asked people to send some before, and even fresh cabbage, and when these meals were delivered, the youngest Yang Zhengdao couldn't help but stretch out his hand to eat, but was glared at by Queen Xiao, and then sat down honestly.
Seeing this, Yang Zhengdao hurriedly picked up the chopsticks, and then beckoned Yang Zhengdao to eat together, which made Yang Zhengdao also look at him gratefully, and then picked up the chopsticks and ate them.
Although Empress Xiao's family was down, they still retained some rules, such as not talking during meals, so after eating, Zhao Deyan took out some tea leaves sent by Li Xiu and made tea for Empress Xiao herself, and then finally spoke: "Grandmother, you must have been curious about my identity, right?" ”
"Husband, I've always wanted to ask you about this matter, why are those Tang Jun so polite to you, even when that Li Suma saw me, he was very polite, and even arranged a maid for me, what the hell is going on?" Yang couldn't help but ask when she heard Zhao Deyan's words, in fact, she had also asked Li Xiu before, but Li Xiu did not answer her, but asked her to ask Zhao Deyan in person.
"You...... You won't be a spy planted by the Tang Dynasty to the Turks, right? Empress Xiao is worthy of being a person who has been through storms for a long time, and at this time she also looked at Zhao Deyan suspiciously and asked, she had never understood Zhao Deyan's identity before, until after a few days of observation and thinking, she came up with the only reasonable explanation.
"Hehe, my grandmother's eyes are indeed like torches, I am indeed a spy planted by the Tang Feinusi to Jieli's side, codenamed 'Prime Minister', the purpose is to disrupt the political situation of the Turks, and I finally did it!" Zhao Deyan smiled faintly at this time, but behind his smile there was an indescribable pride, disturbing a country with the power of one person, although this kind of thing was a bit unsightly, but it was enough to make him proud.
"Yikes! Husband, you ...... Are you a spy of Datang? Yang couldn't help but scream when she heard this, she thought that Zhao Deyan rebelled against the Turks and took refuge in Datang, so she got Datang's attention, but she didn't expect Zhao Deyan to be a person from Datang.
"Yes, I was originally a person from Guanzhong, and my family was considered wealthy, but then the Turks killed in Guanzhong and took my family to the grassland, and finally everyone died, leaving me alone to struggle on the grassland for ten years, and finally had the opportunity to escape back to the Tang Dynasty, but in order to take revenge, I still decided to return to the grassland, and thanks to the recommendation of the horse, I was able to approach Jieli with the help of the power of Feinusi, and now I can only say that I have avenged half of the revenge, if it is possible, I really want to slaughter all the Turks and bury my family!" When Zhao Deyan said the end, he also showed a somewhat hideous expression on his face.
Looking at Zhao Deyan's appearance, Empress Xiao couldn't help but sigh secretly, when Zhao Deyan was taken to the grassland, it was her husband Yang Guang who caused chaos in the Central Plains, and the Turks also took the opportunity to send troops.
