The former emperor is now a prisoner, and Liu Liniang can't help but feel a little sighing. What is rare is that Su Yan is in a cage, but he doesn't seem to have much resistance, as if he had expected such an end.

"Who?" Su Yan saw the firelight everywhere outside, covered his eyes and shouted, "Master, master, is it you?" ”

was originally the one who wanted to save Su Yan, but seeing Su Yan in such a situation, no one dared to step forward. It's hard to say in terms of etiquette, although Su Yan is now nominally the southern king of the Great Shun Dynasty, he is also a former emperor after all, and he has made a note on the glory of the Shun Dynasty's internal and external wars. Now facing him, many people don't know what attitude to accept. And the only one who can let go of this kind of restraint is Liu Yu at the scene.

"Still not saving people?" Liu Yu's expression calmed down, and he asked the guards to go up and smash the cell door open, so that Su Yan finally came out of the cell.

The cage was very low, and after he came out, Su Yan couldn't even stand up, but his face was much better. Seeing Liu Yu, although he had a smile on his face, he didn't look too excited.

"Master, I knew you would come." Su Yan smiled a little straightforwardly, and said, "Since I was arrested by them, I knew that Master Lu Dao would come, and he would definitely come......"

Su Yan has been detained for a long time, and people are a little chattering, and after saying a few words, he suddenly lost his body and fell directly to the ground.

"Someone! The king of Funan went out to rest! ”

Liu Yu didn't expect to find Su Yan, who had been missing for nearly ten months, in such a special place and place today. Liu Yu didn't expect it. The kidnapping of Su Yan is related to the people of the Three Puritans. And the three Puritans. For political purposes, he did not kill Su Yan, but imprisoned him.

Liu Yu immediately thought of a person, Su Zhe, the king of Chu, which should be Su Zhe's masterpiece. If this is the case, there is one thing that is very troublesome, that is, the mysterious armed force that once attacked the imperial court in Lingbei should be a force subordinate to Su Zhe. The strength of those mysterious armed forces was so strong that even Huo Yi couldn't help it, and Liu Yu also felt the strength of the rebels behind him.

Liu Yu came out of the dungeon and didn't speak for a long time. was blown by the cold wind, and Liu Yu's mood still did not calm down.

Liu Liniang came over and wanted to comfort her, but she didn't know what to say. Because in Liu Liniang's heart, she once thought that Liu Yu "got rid of" Su Yan for the sake of the stability of the throne, and many people in the Shun Dynasty court also thought so. But today, when Liu Liniang saw Liu Yu's attitude when she saw Su Yan, she understood one thing. That is, in Liu Yu's heart, although Su Yan was a political enemy with him, Liu Yu had no intention of killing him. It's a rarity.

Su Yan's existence is, after all, an unfavorable factor for the stability of the royal family of the Dashun Dynasty, Liu Liniang knows this, so Liu Liniang seems that Liu Yu will not be unaware. Liu Yu and Su Yan can also be regarded as starting from the end of the micro, this kind of master-apprentice relationship, no matter how strong it is, will not pity each other to the point where they can't bear to kill. Liu Liniang has always believed that Liu Yue is a person who does great things, and she will never be merciful to things that harm his interests.

"Li Niang, I didn't expect him to be alive." Liu Yu suddenly seemed to come back to his senses, looked at Liu Liniang and sighed, as if he had found someone to talk to, "Before, I thought he was dead, and I set up a tomb for him." ”

"Huh?" Liu Liniang exclaimed, Liu Yu is dressed for Su Yan?

With Liu Liniang's intelligence system, it can be said that she knows nothing about this matter, and I believe that no one in the world will know about this matter except Liu Yu. Liu Yu also didn't want others to know his sorrow for Su Yan's "death", Su Yan's rise depended on Liu Yu's help, but Liu Yu's rise also depended on Su Yan's relationship with the royal family. Only Liu Yu knows this best.

"It's always a good thing that people don't have trouble." Liu Liniang didn't know what to say, so she had to say something perfunctory.

Liu Yu nodded, looked into the distance, and suddenly felt a little lost. Liu Liniang sensed a kind of thinking from this look, and she understood that now that Su Yan was not dead, Liu Yu had a tricky matter next, that is, how to place Su Yan, the former emperor of the Great Shun Dynasty.

Liu Yu took the guards and men and horses to the direction of the inn, and at this time, the officials in Lang County had already heard the news and rushed over, and learned that it was King Lin's personal arrival, and these officials felt the seriousness of the situation. The previous explosion had already alarmed the residents of the small county town, and the people in Lang County now knew that something had happened in the county.

Liu Yu asked Qu Zhu to be responsible for contacting the officials in Lang County and the people in the garrison camp, mainly to deal with the affairs of Tang Shan, the county lieutenant of Lang County. Although Liu Yue is the king of Lin, he suddenly appeared in the city with troops like this, and he also took the county lieutenant of Lang County, and he always had to give an explanation to the people of Lang County. The crime of Tang Shan is that he has colluded with the chaotic party, saying that it is a chaotic party, and the officials of Lang County do not know who this chaotic party refers to.

Liu Yu temporarily set up his base camp in the inn where he came, and continued to search for the remnants of the Three Puritans.

Liu Yu found Su Yan in the dungeon, and he had also seen Liu Liniang's junior sister before, but he didn't know the girl who was stunned by the old woman. The girl seemed to have disappeared out of thin air, which made Liu Yu feel very surprised. It stands to reason that the old woman stunned the apprentices and let the Sanqing people carry them away in order to solve the physical needs of these disciples, but looking at the clothes of those people in the dungeon, they were all neat, and there were no women or other things.

The girl was stunned and was carried away by them, but Liu Yu was not sure what it was for.

"General, His Royal Highness the King of the South...... Already awakened. Liu Yu stood in the courtyard of the inn and thought about this question, and Lian Husheng came over and said. Because the matter has ended, even Hu Sheng has resumed his previous name for Liu Yu.

"Hmm." Liu Yu nodded, walked in front, and took Lian Husheng and Liu Liniang into the room to see Su Yan.

At this time, Su Yan was lying on the bed, with a tired face, and the good spirit just now was gone, but seemed to be much older. There is also a lot of scum on his face, and he seems to have grown up a lot, but in Liu Yu's eyes, he is still the market gangster who likes to play tricks and tricks, and he doesn't learn and has no skills.

"Master, are you here?"

Seeing Liu Yu enter the room, Su Yan wanted to sit up, but his body was almost collapsed, and he felt a little weak even when he sat up.

"Don't get up. Just lie down and talk. Liu Yu said, "Just treat yourself as a patient now." ”

Su Yan smiled and said, "What did the master say?" The apprentice is in good health! Ahem. Actually, it's just a little sick. After being in the dungeon for so long, I can't breathe, and I can't go out for a walk, maybe I've contracted a little sick, and if I recover for a few days, I'll definitely be alive. ”

Liu Yu didn't expect that Su Yan would be detained for more than half a year and see him. Although the person is a little haggard, he can maintain such an optimistic state.

Liu Yu couldn't help but sigh in his heart, this Su Yan was born with a golden spoon, and he could have had no worries about food and clothing, and he would have been prosperous for a lifetime. Whether his eldest brother succeeds to the throne or his second brother succeeds to the throne, he will not embarrass him as a younger brother who has no quarrel with the world. However, it was the struggle for royal power, which caused his eldest brother and second brother to turn against each other, and King Huai found the right time. Even he himself was kicked out of the palace in a bad mood.

Su Yan was prosperous when he was young. The young man lived on the streets, and experienced the ordinary life of the ordinary people in the market, and he also experienced the life that was not even as good as the ordinary people. There are a lot of times when he doesn't have three meals, and there are also a lot of times when he goes to eat and drink, Liu Yu thought to himself, if Su Yan didn't have such an optimistic attitude of making fun of suffering, maybe he would have become a pile of dry bones on the street, and he wouldn't lie here today.

"Rest for two days first, and take you back to Chang'an City. Meet the fish, and ...... Your son. Liu Yu said.

When Su Yan heard that he had a son, his eyes lit up, and he said happily: "The master is saying, I ...... Do I have a queen? ”

"Hmm." Liu Yu nodded, "Your son is also very good, he doesn't have a name yet, I originally planned to wait for him to be a year old, and then he can't find you, so he will help the teacher choose a name for your child." Now you have to take it off, and the name is still chosen by you, the father. ”

Su Yan was mentally exhausted, and when he heard that he had a child, he suddenly seemed to be much happier. There were tears in the corners of his eyes, as if the suffering of the past few months had paid off, and he could finally live until he was rescued and saw his own children.

"Little Fish...... Is she okay? ”

Liu Yu nodded again, but couldn't help but sigh. Liu Yu thought of Cao Yi, if there was no Cao Yi, the relationship between him and Su Yan would not be so stiff, and now Su Yan is no longer able to return to the throne of the emperor, but his existence still brings some trouble to the stability of the royal family.

"Master, I want to return to the capital...... Don't go to the south, okay? ”

Taking advantage of the fact that he had just been rescued, Su Yan made another request, he felt that if he didn't say it now, he would not have a chance to get Liu Yu to agree in the future.

He originally thought that Liu Yu might promise him to let him stay in Chang'an City, but Liu Yu was still ruthless, shook his head and said, "You still have to go to your own domain." But now that the south has been pacified, I will arrange for you to go somewhere else, find a prosperous city, and let you be an idle prince. ”

Su Yan was still a little disappointed when he heard that Liu Yu refused to let him stay, but the disappointment was temporary, and he quickly said happily: "As long as you don't go to the place where those birds don't and can only play crickets, it's all done." ”

Liu Yu smiled, it turned out that Su Yan's criterion for judging whether the city was prosperous or not was the variety of crickets there.

Liu Yu chatted with Su Yan for a while, and felt that Su Yan's spirit was still a little sleepy, so he asked him to rest, while Liu Yu went out with Liu Liniang and others. Su Yan has been imprisoned in the dungeon for more than half a year, and it is difficult to get out, and Liu Yu also wants him to sleep well on the soft pillow of the high bed.

Liu Yue came out, Qu Zhu had also come over, and some of the captured officials related to the chaotic party, as well as members of the Three Puritans, had been preliminarily interrogated, and he also came to report the situation.

The situation was basically not as Liu Yu expected, and the Sanqing Sect set up this secret stronghold in Lang County, hiding a batch of gunpowder and a large number of blades for future rebellions against the imperial court. Liu Yu can be said to have stumbled by mistake this time, discovered the conspiracy of the Three Puritans, and rescued Su Yan by the way, Liu Yu felt lucky in his heart, and at the same time, he also realized that now the threat of the Three Puritans to the imperial court is also increasing.

Puritanism was just an ordinary religion in the beginning, but after it became involved in politics, the nature of religion has changed. If Su Zhe took the opportunity to rely on the Three Puritans to rebel, Liu Yu would not have a good way.

"Have you found anyone else, such as Master Wuding?" Liu Yu asked.

Qu Zhu replied: "We have blocked the gates of Lang County, and the follow-up soldiers and horses have also rushed over one after another, and we will also look for them in the surrounding counties, and then according to the confessions of those people, we can find more clues." ”

Liu Yu nodded, now that there is this result, it is already commendable, and he is not hungry and can be too demanding. Able to destroy this secret arsenal. It's already a big problem.

"Take those Puritans. Strict interrogation! ”

Liu Yuzhi said. Now these followers of the Three Puritans are no longer believers in the pure sense, they are more like a group of mysterious armed forces under the cover of religion. The Three Puritans are just a pretense for them, and these people should not believe in the existence of any gods at all.

Qu Zhu took the order and left, while Liu Yu dispatched the men and horses that could be used, and let people continue to dig clues in the tunnels in the city.

…………

The next morning, Su Yan had woken up. He changed his clothes. He seems to be in good spirits, and even seems to be more graceful than when he was the emperor. Liu Yu saw him at this scene, and couldn't help frowning, where did he just come out of prison, he just came back from a trip to relax, and was ready to show his hands and feet.

"Master, how's it going?" Su Yan showed Liu Yu his new clothes, "It seems to be a little thinner, and the robe is a little wider, but it's pretty good." When I go back and see Xiaoyu and my son, they won't think I've changed anything, right? ”

Freedom is restored. Su Yan is even more eager to go back to see his wife and children, which is also human nature. Originally, Liu Yu wanted him to rest in Lang County for two days to recover his vitality, but now it seems that there is no need for this. Su Yan's psychological self-healing ability is terrifying.

"Not bad, you don't need to take any more breaks?" Liu Yu calculated the time, from last night when Su Yan came over, until now, it was only three or four hours before and after, even if he slept before, Su Yan's sleep every day would not be less than four hours.

Su Yan belongs to the kind of person who is lazy and doesn't want to meddle in things.

"Originally, I wanted to sleep more, but somehow, when I saw the sun, I couldn't sleep. It's weird. ”

Liu Yu thought to himself, this kid hasn't seen the sun for more than half a year, and now suddenly the surroundings are bright, and he feels scared, he should be more afraid of the light now, and he wants to hide in the shadows and be a turtle with a shrunken head.

"Master, when are we going back to Chang'an City?"

"Tomorrow." Liu Yu said, "There are still some things to deal with today, by the way, you can rest for a while, don't be too anxious." ”

Su Yan said with a smile: "Master, it's easy to say that you are resting, that is, you are too hungry, eat something, and you don't feel full." ”

Su Yan was in the dungeon, he couldn't eat enough, he couldn't sleep well, and even the air he breathed was smelly, that's it, he could still maintain such an optimistic attitude, Liu Yu felt that it was incredible.

At this time, the people of the inn have already woken up, because they were stunned last night, they don't know what happened in the city, at this time they got up in a daze, a group of merchants living in the inn actually became officials, and those officials in Lang County, who were originally above the top, are now waiting respectfully outside the inn.

These people didn't dare to ask anything, so they cooked the meal and kept sending it to Su Yan. Su Yan ate a meal, and he didn't feel full, so he ate again.

"Master, you don't know what to do, I'm inside, and those turtle sons abuse me and don't give me food. They also said that I used to be the emperor, and now the emperor is looked at by them, and they seem to have a lot of face. Later, I ignored them, whether they gave them food or not, anyway, I knew that since they locked me up, they didn't want me to die, and they would beg me to eat if I didn't eat. While eating, Su Yan also talked about his life in the dungeon, "Later, when they saw that I had been hungry for two days, they really came to bring me food to eat, and they also improved the food." I was very happy, and I went to eat at once, and when I ate, they immediately knew that I was playing tricks, and then they starved me again, and then they didn't eat or drink for three or four days, and sometimes I fainted from hunger. ”

Liu Yu listened to him complaining there, and he didn't speak, just sat next to him and listened.

"And who has ever seen you?" Liu Yu asked.

"Who? No one, at first I also thought, which turtle son is so blind, actually locked me up, they don't know that I am not the emperor now, and they can't get any benefit from tying me up? Later, I thought, what about him, as long as he lives. Every day I would count the grassroots and play there, thinking of the grassroots as little soldiers, and then let them fight, and start the war in piles and piles...... I wanted to try what it was like to be like a master and command thousands of troops, but later I found out that the grassroots are not so fun, unlike people who can run on their own, and I have to push them with my hands, which is too boring. ”

Liu Yu smiled, he didn't expect Su Yan to be imprisoned, and there was such a good "entertainment project". Imagine the grassroots as soldiers, and then go to war, as if you were soldiers on the battlefield, a bit of a leader.

"How are you going to live this time?" Liu Yu asked again.

"How else can you live, that's it. In fact, these days, when there is nothing to do, I also think, in fact, I am really not the material to be the emperor, my father did not choose me to be the emperor at the beginning, it was right, if there is no master, there is no fourth emperor sister and ...... Yuan Xiang, I'm nothing, and the things I did were too naïve. These days, I'm thinking, if I can go back, open a vegetable garden, have a bunch of children with Xiaoyu, and run around in the vegetable garden every day, it would be really interesting, what a prince and emperor, too troublesome, or more interesting to be an ordinary person. ”

Su Yan said, and couldn't help but start crying, as if he remembered something sad. This made Liu Yu unexpected.

"What's wrong? Isn't it coming out now? As a teacher, not only do you want to be a vassal king, but you also have your own land, and you can open as many vegetable gardens as you want. In this way, isn't the wish fulfilled? ”

Su Yan was crying there, and when he heard Liu Yu's words, he suddenly burst into tears again. It's like pouring out all the grievances of these days at once.

"Master, I'm just sad, and I don't know why. I thought, why did my father look down on me, why did he throw me away, didn't I respect his old man, or did I just deserve to be a farmer and grow a vegetable garden? (To be continued......)
