The Xiao family returned from the imperial tomb sacrifice, and there was one more person by his side.

To be precise, the guards escorted back a young woodcutter who was suspected of being a prisoner.

Xiao Shi pulled Yan Yunge very excitedly, "You go with the palace to see, do you feel very familiar." I didn't dare to get to the bottom of it, I just wanted to bring people back and hand them over to you to investigate. ”

Yan Yunge naturally gave her mother face and went with her to meet the young woodcutter.

Ah!

As soon as they met, they saw the young woodcutter's facial features clearly, and they were really familiar.

It's not just the familiarity, but the answer in my heart is already coming out.

Tut-tut......

What is the scene when a person who thought he was missing and dead suddenly appeared in front of him?

Yan Yunge teased: "Xiao Yi should be allowed to identify it, the scene should be very exciting." ”

Xiao Shi said angrily: "You still have the heart to joke. You don't send someone to ask him and determine his identity? ”

Yan Yunge said: "I don't have to trouble others in this matter, I can do it." ”

She ordered the young woodcutter to be untied, and she brought tea, wine, and food.

When they started eating and were sweating profusely, she asked.

"What year was born?"

"Yong, Yongtai fourteen years."

"Is this place familiar? Been here before? ”

The young woodcutter nodded.

"What's the last name?"

"Xiao!"

"What's your mother's name?"

I don't know which word stimulated the other party, but I saw the young woodcutter put down his chopsticks and burst into tears.

looks like he wants to cry but can't bear to cry.

Xiao Shi was a little unbearable and wanted to comfort the other party a few words. was stopped by Yan Yunge.

Let him cry!

It's time to cry!

His mother gave up her life for him.

I don't know if he has worshiped his mother over the years.

The young woodcutter didn't cry for long, and wiped away his tears after a while.

He jerked his head up, as if he had made a decision.

"I look like my father, and you've all guessed who I am. That's right, I'm Xiao Xun, my father is Xiao Chengye, Marquis of Andu, and my mother is Li Huanting. ”

Sure enough, he was Xiao Xun, the 'eldest prince' who disappeared inexplicably on the day Li Huanting killed Xiao Chengye.

Over the years, many people have looked for him.

Liu's father and son looked for him, Yan Yunge sent someone to find him, and Xiao Chengwen also sent someone to find him......

No one could find him, and all of them returned in vain.

Everyone speculates that in the days of war and chaos, I am afraid that Xiao Xun has been more than lucky.

After all, back then, he was just a child.

The Southern Wei Dynasty could not go, and the North was in danger everywhere.

Unexpectedly, this kid was hiding in the imperial tomb.

What a genius idea.

Even the Liu father and son did not dare to easily touch the imperial tomb of the Great Wei Dynasty, at most they sent people to guard the mountain pass.

The huge imperial mausoleum, dozens of miles and hundreds of miles of territory.

It's really too easy to hide someone without being discovered.

It even avoided the danger of being swept over by the flames of war.

How do you feel when someone who thought he was dead suddenly appeared?

Yan Yunge is very qualified to answer this question.

Her impression was that I was tired.

Today's Xiao Xun is no threat at all.

Even so, Yan Yunge didn't want to have such a number one person under his rule.

She coughed lightly, "Tell me what happened to you over the years." How did you escape from the palace by evading Ouchi's guards? How did you think of hiding in the imperial tomb? Why didn't you choose to go south? ”

Xiao Xun was silent for a long time, and then he told him what happened to him one by one.

"On the first day of my mother's murder of my father, I changed into my inner clothes, followed the dung truck, and was sent out of the palace by my mother in advance. Later......"

He was sent out of the palace and hid in the city.

Later, when I learned that my mother had killed my father, I don't know if I was too frightened, and I had a high fever that didn't go away, and I almost burned into a fool.

His mother, Li Huanting, still has a few available people around her.

The men escorted him out of the city, but unexpectedly there was infighting on the way, killing each other.

He took advantage of the chaos to escape, and all the cruelties he suffered were not detailed.

In short, in the end, he hid in the imperial tomb and survived.

Yan Yunge frowned, "You haven't thought about going south?" Didn't want to go back to Southern Wei? ”

"Thought. I had already reached the river, but when I heard the news of my brother's death, I did not have the courage to continue south. “

"What are you going to do next?"

Xiao Xun looked confused.

Can he still be his own master?

Isn't it what the other party says and what does he do?

His life was in the hands of the other party, and he even asked him what his plans were.

He shook his head, "Not intended!" Will you kill me? ”

Yan Yunge sneered, "Why should I kill you? If you want to go south to the Southern Wei Dynasty, I can send someone to give you a ride. ”

Xiao was anxious.

If you really want to send him to the Southern Wei Dynasty, I am afraid that it will be more auspicious than lucky.

Yan Yunge stopped Xiao Shi again and did not allow her to speak out.

Xiao Xun was confused.

It seems that I haven't used my brain for a long time, and my brain is a little rusty.

After a while, he had a normal reaction, "What are you doing in the south of Southern Wei?" ”

Yan Yunge smiled, "The Southern Wei Imperial Court does not recognize the fact that your father is the emperor of the Northern Wei Dynasty, but it still retains the identity of your father An Duhou. If you want to go back, I can help you do it, let you inherit the Andu Marquis Mansion, and ensure that you will be rich and prosperous in the next life. ”

Xiao Xun's throat rolled, and after a moment, he asked, "If I don't go back, how will you settle me?" ”

Yan Yunge's face was serious, "I don't have a royal family here, if you stay in the Northland, I can only give you a civilian status and give you a little money to settle down." After that, you have to rely on yourself to work hard. Eat thin or dry, drink wine and eat meat or eat bran vegetables, it all depends on your personal ability. How do you choose between two paths? ”

Xiao Xun's brows furrowed, and it seemed that it was difficult to choose.

He hesitated and asked, "Can I be a soldier and eat food?" ”

Yan Yunge laughed, "Yes!" But you can only start with the big soldiers, and you will not get any special care, but will get countless difficulties. Even, you have to be promoted a few years later than others. ”

"I ......"

"You can think slowly. Within three days, if you make your choice and ask someone to notify me, I will arrange it for you. If you don't make a choice after three days, then I'll make a decision for you. ”

That's all that needs to be said.

Yan Yunge asked himself, it can be regarded as benevolence and righteousness.

She gave Xiao Xun a way out, this is her promise to Li Huanting.

Back then, Li Huanting left her second son and took her eldest son Xiao Xun to the north.

Unexpectedly, the second son really died of illness.

Whether it was man-made or accidental is no longer important.

Back then, Yan Yunge also promised to keep her child safe as much as possible.

Now......

Although it was a little late, it was barely a good promise.

She gave Xiao Xun peace, and other than that, it was not under her control.

"I can make a choice now!"

Xiao Xun shouted loudly.

Yan Yunge raised his eyebrows, a little surprised.

I thought that the other party would need three days, but I didn't expect that after a sip of water, I actually made a decision.

She sat back down, "Tell me about your options." ”

He raised his head and said solemnly: "I want to settle down in the capital, I want to study in the academy, and I want to take the entrance examination." Even if I want to inherit the Andu Marquis Mansion, I have to rely on my own skills. ”

Yan Yunge pursed her lips and smiled, "Mrs. Ben reminds you once again that under my rule, there is no Andu Marquis Mansion. If you want to inherit the Andu Marquis Mansion, you can only go to Jianzhou. ”

"I know! But I won't go back to Jianzhou, I'm going to stay in the capital. One day, I will have the ability to find my relatives, find the Li family, and give them a place to shelter from the wind and rain. “

Xiao Shi was moved.

is worthy of being a descendant of the Xiao family, and he is ambitious.

Yan Yunge does not agree or object.

It's good to have ambition, and she'll give him a chance.

She said, "Since you want to stay, you can!" For the time being, the academy in the capital has not yet been built, if you are in a hurry, you can go to Songshan Academy in Pingyang County to study. ”

"I'll stay in the capital, and I'll work to make money."

"It's all as you want."

This is the end of the conversation.

After that, Yan Yunge sent someone to send him to the capital that was being rebuilt, and gave him a sum of money, a small mansion located outside the city.

So far, she has done her best.

Shaw is soft-hearted.

thinks that Xiao Xun lost his father and mother at a young age, and these years are like a lost dog hiding in the mountains and stealing his life, and his life is hard.

I felt that I should give him more help, at least some more money, so that he could get off to a good start.

Yan Yunge resolutely objected.

"There is a limit to the help. Too much help will only encourage unhealthy tendencies. Mother, don't force me to use extraordinary means against him. ”

Xiao Shi looked confused, "You killed him?" ”

Yan Yunge shook his head and denied, "I didn't." However, there is no guarantee that there will not be one in the future. ”

Xiao Shi was stunned for a long time, and sighed for the last time.

"Speaking of which, you don't have a crush on him, and you're very defensive."

Yan Yunge said solemnly: "His past, no one knows, it's all his words. His mother was worshipping her ancestors in the imperial mausoleum, and she met him so coincidentally, who dared to say that it was not a premeditated encounter.

It is not the first time that my mother has gone to the imperial tomb to worship her ancestors, when Liu Zhang was alive, her mother also went north to worship her ancestors. Why didn't he show up at that time?

Also, it's been a few months since I took down half of the country, and even if he was hiding in the mountains, he should know the news.

However, he didn't go down the mountain in the past few months, and he still hid in the mountain, and he didn't show up until his mother went to worship his ancestors.

I never believed that there were such coincidences in the world, and all coincidences were man-made.

I don't pursue his purpose, but I can only go so far. So, my mother didn't push me to do more. ”

Xiao sighed again.

"That's it, that's it, it's all up to you, this palace doesn't do superfluous things. However, you don't think too badly of people. ”

"Definitely! It's my mother who thinks too well of people. I know that mothers are soft-hearted, and usually many people take advantage of your soft-heartedness. ”

Xiao smiled wryly.

dared to love her soft-heartedness, which has become a weakness in the eyes of her daughter.

She felt a little dizzy, thinking too much, talking too much, tired.

It's better not to be out of sight.

"You make arrangements for the palace, and I will leave for Youzhou in a few days. I don't know if Yun Tong and Baozhu have any conflicts between the husband and wife. ”

"Mother rest assured, I will arrange for my mother to leave for Youzhou as soon as possible."

……

Thousands of miles away in Youzhou.

Yan Yun was restless with the backyard.

Since he returned, he has not entered Liu Baozhu's bedroom.

The cold war between the two couples is at its climax.
