Zhou Yue lowered his head to avoid the crowd and walked quickly to the hillside not far away, where Li Xu and Song Chengxuan's last battle was located.

After Li Xu died, the soldiers who followed him begged to the imperial court, and none of those soldiers wanted to mention Li Xu again, and it was not easy for him to get some news.

Zhou Yue's eyes were red, he still didn't believe that Li Xu was dead, he always felt that Li Xu would not be killed so easily, Li Xu was just hiding, and he would find a way to meet him after a while.

Zhou Yue searched for a long time, and finally sat down in a place where bones were buried.

After the war is over, the corpse will begin to be collected, and Li Xu's body should be taken away by the imperial court, so he has long known that he will not gain anything from coming here.

Even if he saw with his own eyes a corpse that looked like Li Xu, he couldn't believe that Li Xu was really dead.

"Uncle Zhou," the soldier next to him said in a low voice, "I asked a few wounded soldiers, and they had seen Li Xu's body with their own eyes, and Li Xu was wearing armor that was different from others, and he could recognize it at a glance." ”

"The armor can be worn by others," Zhou Yue said, "Have you found the bodies of Uncle Li and Second Master Li?" ”

Bing Yong shook his head: "No, but it is said that Second Master Li died here, and Uncle Li was arrested by Ma Dudu when he fled." ”

Zhou Yue did not speak.

Bing Yong continued: "Uncle Zhou, when Li Xu sent troops to attack the guard, you were in trouble at the river guard, and the Tatars invaded us and fought hard against the enemy, everyone was seriously injured, these things The soldiers who defended the city have seen it, and you rely on the relationship of the Zhou family to gather manpower everywhere to defend the border checkpoints, with these things in advance, even if you have some dealings with Li Xu, presumably the imperial court will not be too harsh on you."

Instead of hiding like this, you should go to the yamen and explain the whole thing. ”

Zhou Yue raised his head and looked at Bing Yong for a while: "They said that Li Xu collaborated with the enemy, do you also believe it?" He didn't believe that if Li Xu collaborated with the enemy, why did he ask him to help defend the river? He always believed that what Li Xu said to him was the truth, and that things would come to this point, and it was not as simple as it seemed on the surface, and there must be an inside story in it.

Li Xu arranged this way for fear that he would not be able to control the rest of King Jian's troops and end up in a bad end, so he kept him far away and spared him.

A sad sour feeling welled up in Zhou Yue's heart, and he staggered to his feet.

Bing Yong immediately followed: "Where are you going?" ”

"You go to Fuyuwei to find Song Chengxuan," Zhou Yue said, "Don't tell others where I am." "He wants to stay and look for Li Xu, he can feel that Li Xu is still alive, he will definitely find Li Xu and ask Li Xu what is going on.

……

In the capital, in the prison, Li Changyan shrank in the corner and shivered, in order to avoid Li Xu's pursuit and killing, he hid and suffered all the hardships along the way, and only then did he get to the capital, but he didn't expect that Yu Jiang was untrustworthy, not only did he not let him go, but he also interrogated him strictly.

This is not counting, because Li Xu served in the Criminal Department, and the officials of the Criminal Department were interrogated by the imperial court, and those people were afraid of being regarded as traitors to the party, so they tried every means to ask for more confessions from him, hoping to make a great contribution and clear up the relationship with Li Xu.

There was a sound of walking in the prison, and Li Changyan suddenly trembled, it must have been those people who came to torture him again.

"Did you hear it, the slave has won a big victory, and the imperial court is busy welcoming the Song Governor back to Beijing, maybe Longyan Dayue, our criminal department doesn't have to be so nervous."

"You can't call the governor of the Song Dynasty, when the Tatars invaded, the emperor had already ordered the promotion of the Song capital governor Zheng Sanpin Zhaowu general, and now that he has won the battle, he will definitely be crowned again, maybe he will be knighted directly."

"Li Xu is dead, and Tatar has also retired, so it will be peaceful for a few years!"

"I hope that the imperial court will pardon some more people and go out, and we will be more relaxed."

Hearing the pardon of some people, Li Changyan crawled forward excitedly, holding the wooden bar of the prison tightly, and the jailer turned his head to look at Li Changyan's prison when he heard the voice.

"Yo, isn't this Li Changyan who pawned his wife to King Jian?"

This kind of ridicule and insult Li Changyan has long been accustomed to, and now he can't care about shame, he just wants to get out of here, as long as he can save his life.

"You don't have to worry about what we said, anyone in this prison can be released, but you can't."

"Why? I'm not a Jane king, I'm not rebelling, I'm ...... I've done a great job. ”

"Phew," the jailer spat on Li Changyan's face, "I've seen a lot of people like you, if Li Xu's rebellion succeeds, you will also seek wealth from Li Xu." ”

Li Changyan was willing to give up, waving his hand and still trying to argue for himself.

"If you want me to see, you are not as good as those King Jane's party, if the case is found out, the King Jane's party will be withdrawn and cut down, and people will be relieved if they die like a lamp, I have seen you in such a situation for the first time, saying that you have nothing to do with King Jian's party, you raised an heir for King Jian, and said that you have something to do with it...... But you went to the capital to tell the whistle when Li Xu rebelled, and no one could kill you casually, let alone let you go. ”

The jailer said and sighed: "The officials of the Criminal Department come in and out every year, and you will be the busiest prisoner in this prison in the future, no matter which adult comes, you will be the busiest prisoner in this prison." ”

Li Changyan listened to these words, and the coolness suddenly hit his whole body, and the jailer no longer paid attention to him and walked forward, without the lighting of the torches, the darkness swallowed Li Changyan again.

"Wronged, wronged!"

Li Changyan shouted.

……

The capital of Anyi Marquis' Mansion.

Mrs. Xu got up early in the morning and went to the big kitchen in person to watch the cook cook the food.

"Prepare more styles, I don't know what Qinghuan wants to eat at this time, the pastries are made smaller, so that children can't help but be greedy."

The cook smiled and nodded: "We all remember." ”

"The old lady of the Song family has prepared what she likes?"

"Mrs. Tai's peace of mind," Mrs. Xu stepped forward, "no one is allowed to make a mistake today." ”

Mrs. Xu complained: "You have said everything I said, what am I going to say?" I could only sit on the sidelines and smile and wait for them to enter the door. ”

After saying this, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law couldn't help laughing.

After a while, Mrs. Song also arrived, and several people sat in the flower hall and talked.

Mrs. Xu took a sip of tea, but still no one came to report: "I don't know where I went, there are a lot of bumps along the way, and I don't know if Qinghuan's body can stand it." ”

"We are blessed with great happiness," Mrs. Song comforted, "and this journey will definitely go smoothly." Even so, there was some worry on his face.

Fortunately, not long after he finished saying this, he listened to the steward's announcement: "Uncle and eldest lady are back." ”

"Let's go, let's take a look."

Mrs. Xu and Mrs. Song walked out.

An Yihou looked at the son-in-law who came not far away, the old man looked at the son-in-law is really more and more pleasing to the eye, the slave is in the war, he can't sleep all night, staring at the map in the study every day, if it weren't for the emperor's suspicion of him and wanting to leave him in the capital, he would have rushed all the way to the slave.

He knew very well how difficult it was to calm the war, and when he heard the good news from Nu'ergan, he was relieved.

An Yihou was about to walk quickly to greet Song Chengxuan, but Song Chengxuan had already turned over and dismounted, bowed down and saluted him: "Father-in-law." ”

An Yihou was stunned, for some reason, he always felt that Song Chengxuan was a little closer to him.
