Chapter 110: Into the Wolf's Den

Although An Qingxu caught Hongchen Shitai and returned to Luoyang, he still lived like a lost dog. Because he suffered a defeat, An Lushan's most elite cavalry lost almost half, which was really a big injury. An Qingxu is also a fat man with an impatient temperament, seeing that his son is so sloppy, where will he have a good face, he will be beaten and scolded at every turn. An Qingxu had to be careful everywhere, for fear that An Lushan would push him out of the noon gate and behead him on impulse.

An Qingxu's life is not easy, and Yan Zheng's day is even more sad. An Lushan shouted angrily in front of the Manchu Dynasty civil and military forces in the main hall, Yan Zhuang is a dog-headed military advisor, useless to the extreme, so many soldiers died on the battlefield, he actually had no way at all. Therefore, An Lushan's punishment for Yan Zhuang was to immediately chop Yan Zhuang, a dog-headed military division, with a dog's head. Yan Zhuang was so frightened that he cried bitterly on the spot, and while admitting that he was useless, he also begged An Lushan to spare his life.

Fortunately, Yan Zhuang usually knows how to win over those civil officials, and at critical moments, many civil and military ministers interceded for Yan Zhuang, asking An Lushan to treat Yan Zhuang lightly for the sake of his past achievements. The unanimous opinion of the ministers was that it would not help to kill Yan Zhuang, and those dead soldiers could not come back from the dead, but they could still make some contributions to the Great Yan Empire if they kept Yan Zhuang. In fact, the ministers did not really sympathize with Yan Zhuang's plight, but felt that if Yan Zhuang died, then Yan Zhuang's usual work would be their turn to do, and they were still very self-aware, knowing that their talents were definitely not as good as Yan Zhuang's, and if even Yan Zhuang had to die, then they would not be far from death.

Although An Lushan is very fat, he is not very stupid, he also knows the significance of Yan Zhuang to his empire, and it will only be more difficult without him. But you can't just let him go, wouldn't that be too cheap to be such a defeated general, so Yan Zhuang was beaten with eighty boards, his skin was open, his face was pale, and he screamed. And it was beaten in front of everyone, and it was really humiliating and thrown home. Everyone else is beaten and can still enjoy paid leave at home. He didn't even have this right, and he still had to go to work with an injury. So I hate An Lushan very much in my heart.

After Zhou Lijun escaped from that town, she passed through Yangcheng again. She knew that the owner of the city had changed hands. After inquiring, I found out that Liang Xingfa came here, and he was in charge of the three armies here. She was so happy that she ran into the city to find Liang Xingfa.

Zhou Lijun said that she was the wife of Liang Xingfa. In this way, he quickly found the place where Liang Xingfa lived.

Li Wanyue lives in the same courtyard as Liang Xingfa, unlike Liang Xingfa's wives who live in the same house as him. Although she loves Liang Xingfa deeply, she hasn't officially passed through the door, so she can't get too close to him usually.

Li Wanyue grew up deep in the mountains, never went to school, and rarely interacted with her peers except for her mother. As a result, she is a bit withdrawn, not yelling at others, and not good at communicating with others.

Li Wanyue, who is not very gregarious, looks very lonely. She often sits by the window and looks at the sky in a daze, which is said to be the behavior of a young girl. Liang Xingfa also saw it in his eyes and worried about it. He couldn't be by her side all the time, so he wanted to use other ways to send her loneliness. He walked down the street and saw a parrot, and he was overjoyed, so he bought the parrot and gave it to Li Wanyue when he got home, so that Li Wanyue could have a companion and pass the time relatively easily.

Li Wanyue was also full of praise when she first saw the pale yellow parrot, saying that the parrot was so cute. The parrot has lived with humans for about a long time, and it understands human nature, and it actually said to Li Wanyue, "Cute." provoked Li Wanyue to praise it for being very clever.

Liang Xingfa said to Li Wanyue: "It's good if you like it." I'll let it be with you in the future, and I hope you can have a happier life in the future. ”

Li Wanyue asked Liang Xingfa how he could have imagined that he would give her such a fun thing? Liang Xingfa said: "I saw that this parrot was also a lone one, and the others were thrushes, and I thought that it also needed a companion, so I thought of letting you be together." ”

Liang Xingfa felt that his own explanation was perfect, and it would make Li Wanyue feel at home. Who knew that Li Wanyue was touched by the scene, and sighed, "They are both fallen people at the end of the world, and their respective circumstances are like this, but they all feel pity for each other when they look at each other." ”

Liang Xingfa said to Li Wanyue: "Since this parrot makes you feel sad. Why don't you let it fly? ”

Li Wanyue is willing to release such a cute parrot. She said, "That's what you gave me." Besides, I don't have any relatives in this world anymore. This parrot is my dearest thing. From now on, I'll be dependent on it. ”

Liang Xingfa said to Li Wanyue: "Actually, you don't have to be so pessimistic. Your relatives in this world and me. If you don't mind, let me take care of you for the rest of your life. ”

Li Wanyue was deeply moved, and nodded shyly. Liang Xingfa held her hands, looked at her affectionately, and swore to her that if she wanted to live a good life in her life, not to mention being rich and expensive, at least she would have no worries about food and clothing.

At this moment, Zhou Lijun broke in, and when she saw them looking extremely affectionate, she couldn't help but feel a little jealous. Liang Xingfa turned his head and saw that it was Zhou Lijun, and couldn't help but be overjoyed, and said to her, "Hello." It's been a long time since we've seen each other. ”

Zhou Lijun said to Liang Xingfa expressionlessly: "It seems that I came at an inopportune time. Go ahead. I'm leaving. ”

Liang Xingfa hurriedly caught up with her and said to her: "We are not what you think, why did you just come and leave?" ”

Li Wanyue also stepped forward and said to Zhou Lijun: "Hello." Old friend, long time no see, how did you end up here? ”

Zhou Lijun said to Li Wanyue: "Since the last time I left, I have lived in a small town. It turned out to be a wonderful way for me to meet a person, and that was your mother, Mrs. Hongchen. ”

Li Wanyue was very surprised and said to Zhou Lijun: "Is what you said true, isn't my mother dead?" ”

Zhou Lijun said to Li Wanyue: "It's true. I don't know how close I have with her, and I have endless topics to talk about every day. ”

Liang Xingfa asked Zhou Lijun: "Are you sure that you are not dreaming, and what you see is not the ghost of Master Hongchen?" ”

Zhou Lijun said to Liang Xingfa angrily: "If you don't believe it, then you can commit suicide, and see if you can meet Mrs. Hongchen on Huangquan Road." ”

Liang Xingfa said to Zhou Lijun: "Teasing you, why be so serious." I heard you say that Master Hongchen is not dead, so I am very excited. ”

Li Wanyue hurriedly asked Zhou Lijun again: "Where is my mother, why didn't she come with you?" ”

Zhou Lijun put on a very sad expression and said to Li Wanyue: "Oops." It's miserable to say. Who would have thought that An Qingxu happened to pass by there. They discovered the hiding place where Master Hongchen and I were hiding. Actually, we could all escape. But we are all righteous and courageous people, and we can't get used to An Qingxu bullying the people, so we fought with them. I was in better shape and escaped. But the seriously injured Hongchen Master was too miserable and was arrested in Luoyang. ”

When Li Wanyue heard the news, she was so worried that she almost fainted, but fortunately, she was supported by Liang Xingfa. It took a while to regain his strength.

Liang Xingfa asked Zhou Lijun again: "Was Mrs. Hongchen dead or alive when she was arrested?" ”

Zhou Lijun said to Liang Xingfa: "Of course she is still alive." Could it be that An Qingxu and the others are full of food and hold on, and fight against a dead corpse to go back. They treat Mrs. Hongchen very well, so An Qingxu also respectfully calls Mrs. Hongchen her mother-in-law, I guess they will treat Mrs. Hongchen well along the way. ”

Both Liang Xingfa and Li Wanyue think that things will not be so simple. An Qingxu definitely didn't arrest Mrs. Hongchen to open a nursing home to take care of the elderly, but to use Mrs. Hongchen to blackmail Li Wanyue, if Li Wanyue refused to marry An Qingxu, then Mrs. Hongchen would have only one fate, that is, to be a ghost. Even if Li Wan is willing to marry An Qingxu, with An Qingxu's personality, he will not let go of Master Hongchen, and will imprison her until she dies of old age, otherwise An Qingxu will not be able to live with Li Wan with peace of mind.

Li Wan was at a loss and didn't know how to save her mother. If she is to marry, she herself is better off than dead. If you don't marry in the past, you are afraid that Master Hongchen will commit suicide and die. Liang Xingfa's current military strength is still not able to fight An Lushan to the death. His ammunition has almost run out, and he can't start a war now, so he must wait for Guo Ziyi to put down the rebellion.

Li Wanyue was so anxious that tears flowed, so she simply gritted her teeth and went to Luoyang to negotiate with An Qingxu. Liang Xingfa advised her not to be impulsive, after all, she would only fall into the enemy's trap if she went like this. At that time, both mothers and daughters will be unlucky.

Zhou Lijun knew that she couldn't help herself, so she turned around and wanted to leave. Liang Xingfa stopped her and asked, "Are you still angry with me, and where do you want to go?" ”

Zhou Lijun said to Liang Xingfa: "If I am still angry with you, why should I come to you." It's just that I can't bear to disturb you when I see that you are in so much trouble. ”

Liang Xingfa said to Zhou Lijun: "Where are you bothering me, you are obviously helping me, and I also need your help." I want to ask you to stay and take care of Li Wanyue and not do anything stupid to her. Let me take care of the rescue of Mrs. Hongchen. ”

Li Wanyue and Zhou Lijun both asked Liang Xingfa what his plans were? Liang Xingfa said: "I plan to sneak into Luoyang alone. It would be best if you could sneak into the palace. Then look for an opportunity to rescue Hongchen Shitai. ”

Zhou Lijun did not agree with Liang Xingfa doing this, thinking that it was very dangerous. Liang Xingfa said to them: "Since ancient times, wealth has been sought in danger. You can't do it if you don't. Besides, if you are a teacher for one day and a mother for life, let me go and bring Mrs. Hongchen back. When they saw how determined he was, they agreed.

The next day, Liang Xingfa really ran to Luoyang alone and on a horse. Li Wan made a dress for him overnight and told him to return safely regardless of whether he succeeded or not. He felt very warm in his heart, and promised Li Wanyue that he would be triumphant, and it was two people. Then he also asked Li Wanyue to communicate more with Zhou Lijun, Jiang Caiping and others, so that he could leave with confidence. Li Wanyue tearfully agreed.

Liang Xingfa's lonely back was gone. There was no one to send it, because he didn't allow them to send it to save their feelings. (To be continued.) )
