In the spring of the first year of Taikang (291), Luoyang, Kyoto.

In the Zhaoyang Hall of the North Palace of the Imperial City, there is a woman half-lying on the couch with a phoenix pattern openwork and a double upturned head, wrapped in a thick and round body under the brocade clothes, like a pig with flowers and branches, trembling with meat, and listening to the secret report of Li Zhao, Meng Guan and others in the palace with satisfaction.

Hearing that the Queen Mother Yang Zhi and the three Yang brothers rebelled, her dark face pretended to be angry, and this person was Jia Nanfeng, a generation of demon queens.

Next to Jia Nanfeng stood a handsome boy who applied powder and applied Zhu, smoked clothes and trimmed his face, and tied his hair with a jade crown, and various pendants such as jade rings and sachets on his clothes. There is always a smile on his handsome face, but his mouth is about to kill people when he closes it!

This is Jia Nanfeng's nephew Jia Mi, who has already coaxed an edict from Emperor Sima Zhen of Jin Hui: close the palace gate, kill the three brothers Yang Jun, Yang Jue, and Yang Ji, and wipe out the three clans of the Yang family.

In this dangerous evening, the sunset spread half the sky, and a team of people and horses escorted three gorgeous carriages, slowly driving towards Luoyang City.

A man with a thunder scarf and a blue robe ribbon walked in front, and this person was Yang Xi, the eldest son of Shangshu Ling Yang Jue.

Followed by Yang Zheng, a personal guard in a black robe and hair tied up, wearing half a shoulder armor.

At this moment, Yang Xi escorted his mother, wife and a pair of children to the White Horse Temple outside the city on the way back to worship the Buddha.

I saw that the curtain of the car in the middle was lifted, and a pair of big eyes full of curiosity looked at the red sky, and the remnant sun reflected Yang Yun's beautiful but somewhat immature face, with the beauty and youth of the cardamom years.

A cool breeze blew, Yang Yun couldn't help but shiver, and quickly lowered the curtain.

"Today I heard a big event related to the little lady."

A little girl who looked like a female envoy said with a mysterious face.

"What can I do?" Yang Yun didn't care.

"King Langya proposed to the little lady!"

"Little Peach, what are you talking nonsense?"

"Really, I heard the old lady tell the monk with my own ears, this time the old lady came to the White Horse Temple to pray for the blessing of the little lady, and she was waiting for the little lady's gift."

Thinking that she could follow the little lady to marry to Langya Wangfu in the future, Xiao Tao smiled.

Listening to the words of the servant girl Xiao Tao, Yang Yun's face suddenly swelled crimson, shy and a little nervous, thinking that she was only thirteen years old, she didn't want to get married so early, and thinking of the unsmiling face of King Langya, Yang Yun frowned, and couldn't help but sigh softly.

Seeing that Yang Yun's face was a little solemn, Xiao Tao put away her joy: "King Langya is one of the five kings, and he inherited the throne before the weak crown, Lord Shangshu often praises him for being humble and dignified, doesn't the little lady like King Langya?" ”

Yang Yun pursed her lips and said softly with some shyness: "King Langya... It seems like... Too serious. ”

"Well, Prince Murong still has an easy-going personality, but the little lady was born in a family of three nobles and a noble family, so don't marry to the Liaodong grassland!"

"What do you say, dead girl?" Yang Yun's face turned even redder.

"King Langya has had a soft spot for little ladies since he was a child, which makes many girls from families in the capital envious."

"How do you know he has a soft spot for me?" Yang Yun used her bright and beautiful big eyes to whiten the maid.

"If King Langya doesn't have a soft spot for the little lady, why does he propose to the little lady alone, the little lady is afraid that the little lady is not open."

"Are you already emotional? If you want to go to Langya Palace, is it possible that you like to cultivate endlessly? ”

Yang Yun teased this girl who was full of expectations for Langya Palace.

Xiao Tao immediately blushed, twisted her body to hide her face, and said angrily: "Little lady......"

And the old lady Yang in the other car was twisting a string of emerald green prayer beads, her eyes were slightly closed, and her mouth seemed to be chanting "Nan Wu Amitabha Buddha ......."

But what she had in mind was the prophecy of the great monk Buddha Tucheng of the White Horse Temple to Yang Yun:

"If you want to know the cause of the past life, then the one who receives it in this life is, and if you want to know the effect of the next life, then the one who does it in this life is! The girl of the Yang family has a bad fate, her life is full of twists and turns, and her marriage is unpredictable......

Thinking of this, Mrs. Yang couldn't help but feel a little blocked.

Seeing that the sky was about to get dark, and there were still two or three miles away from entering the city, I suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves from far and near, and a man with a mask galloped towards him.

This person was dressed in black plain clothes, and when he arrived at Yang Xian's approach, he tightened the reins, and said eagerly without dismounting, "Meng Guan, Li Zhao and others rebelled against your Yang family, and Empress Jia issued an order to destroy the three Yang clans. When His Highness received the news, he immediately ordered me to come and report it. ”

After speaking, he spurred his horse and galloped away, reporting that it was the personal guard of Sima Jingwen, the king of Langyu, who was repairing endlessly.

Yang Xian was shocked when he heard this, and he didn't have time to think about it, so he quickly turned the horse's head and ordered loudly: "Go to Longmen Mountain, quickly."

At this moment, Yang Zheng also quickly ran to the back of the team, urging the horse's head to turn around, and the rear team turned into the front team and left quickly.

When I walked for more than ten miles, it was already dark, and I suddenly heard a slow and powerful voice coming from the car:

"Raid, stop the car."

Yang Xian rode his horse to his mother's car, and Mrs. Yang lifted the curtain of the car and said: "Xi'er, we can't escape this catastrophe, Empress Jia is afraid that she has sent someone to the house to raid the house and destroy the door, you want Yun'er to try to escape with Jie'er and protect the only bloodline of our Yang family."

Seeing that the carriage stopped, Yang Yun poked her head out and heard the conversation between her grandmother and her father, she couldn't care to put down the ladder, jumped out of the carriage, and cried and ran: "Grandmother, grandmother, Yun'er doesn't want to be separated from her grandmother."

"Help me get out of the car", Mrs. Yang saw her beloved granddaughter running over and ordered.

At this time, Yang Yun had already run in front of Mrs. Yang, hugging her grandmother and crying silently.

Mrs. Yang hugged her beloved granddaughter, looked at a ray of sunshine before night fell in the distance, looked up to the sky and sighed, a tear flowed out of her cloudy eyes, and her body couldn't help but tremble.

She gritted her teeth, put away her sadness, and said hatefully: "My Hongnong Yang family has been in a high position for four hundred years, one family and three dukes, and I pushed this Jia Nanfeng to the back position with one hand, I never thought that this poisonous woman would repay virtue with resentment, and it would be such a catastrophe to the Yang family." ”

Then Mrs. Yang helped Yang Yun up, looked at her granddaughter's beautiful and childish face, and said in a calm and firm tone:

"Yun'er, you must escape with Jie'er now, you must keep my Yang family's bloodline for the future."

Yang Yun's body trembled because of crying, and she choked up: "If grandmother, father, and mother are gone, why can Yun'er survive in the world?" ”

At this time, the mother Liu brought the five-year-old Yang Jie to Yang Yun, and the tearful Liu hugged his children, suddenly stopped crying, and pushed Yang Yun away.

said sharply: "Yun'er, you don't want anything else for your mother, you and Jie'er have to live, if you don't agree, your mother will die in front of you now." As he spoke, he plucked the golden hairpin from his head and pointed it to his throat.

Yang Yun was frightened by her mother's actions, she read a trace of expectation in despair from her mother's eyes, this expectation is her brother's life, it is Yang's hope, like a mountain pressing towards Yang Yun, she can't hide or escape, she can't allow her to struggle.

"Mother, Yun'er promised you, Yun'er will definitely protect her brother even if she fights to the death."

At this time, Zhou's mother looked at Xiao Tao, who was crying on the side, and shouted fiercely: "Xiao Tao, change clothes with the little lady." ”

Xiao Tao sobbed and nodded: "Auntie, Xiao Tao understands that her daughter is willing to replace the little lady." ”

Then Zhou's mother slowly knelt in front of Mrs. Yang, and said in a calm and firm tone: "Old lady, the old slave has served you for decades, although he is a slave, he is more decent than the ordinary people. All of my sons and daughters are born of a family, and now that the Lord's family is in trouble, it is the time when we sacrifice our lives as slaves to protect each other. ”

Old Madam Yang helped Zhou's mother up and burst into tears: "If there is an afterlife, I will serve you for the rest of my life!" ”

"Don't say that, let's help the little lady change it as soon as possible!"

So Xiao Tao took off her coat, and together with Zhou's mother, took off Yang Yun's coat, bib, and hair accessories, and changed them with Yang Yun.

"The old slave has an elder brother named Zhou Feng, who lives in Hewan Village, which is seventy miles east of the capital, and his brother is loyal, and his son has received the favor of the Lord's family, and will take care of the little lady."

As he spoke, he took off the cloisonné silver bracelet in his hand and put it in Yang Yun's hand.

At this time, Yang Xian's eyes were red, and he couldn't resist the grief of parting from life and death, and hugged his wife and children tightly.

His deep eyes were filled with endless sadness, but he had to make a decision:

"Yun'er, you swear to Aya, your brother will give birth to you, and your brother will die if you die!"

"Okay, I swear... Brother... Birth, I birth, brother death... I... Die! ”

Yang Yun knelt down, she sobbed and swore as her father ordered, her weak body, in this darkness, seemed so small and powerless!

Then Yang Xi ordered to his guards: "Yang Zheng, Yun'er is not gloomy in the world, and she will not be able to survive with Jie'er, from now on, your mission is to be by her side like a shadow and protect their sisters and brothers." ”

Yang Zheng took a deep breath and knelt down on one knee: "Yang Zheng swears to death to protect the little lady and the little son." After speaking, he stood up and took Yang Jie.

At this time, Liu and Xiao Tao had already gotten into the carriage.

Old Madam Yang seemed to think of something, put the jade Buddha beads in her hand on Yang Yun's hand, and got into the car ruthlessly: "Xi'er, let's go!" ”
