Chapter 3 The golden cicada sheds its shell
When the two newlyweds were talking and laughing in the room, there were already young people walking through the beams.
Suddenly, a wisp of green smoke blew into the room through a small hole in the paper window.
Yu Yao noticed something was wrong, and said secretly: "It's not good!" One hand covered his mouth and nose, and the other hand performed a trick "Crossing the Moon" to push Youwei into the bed tent.
Youwei got up and leaned deep in the curtain, not daring to move.
Over there, Yu Yao had already extinguished all the lights and candles in the room at lightning speed, and hid in the dark.
Half an hour later, the window opened, and two thieves dressed in night clothes jumped into the room and quietly touched the bed.
Yu Yao saw the opportunity and secretly attacked the two, and after a palm battle, one of them was killed on the spot, and the other was also locked by Yu Yao.
"Youwei, palm lamp."
Youwei was frightened, so she got out of bed and relit an elevated lamp and candle next to the bed.
The candle flame flickered, and I saw a corpse on the ground, with a terrifying shape.
Yu Yao locked the throat of another person with one hand, and tore off the veil that covered his face with the other hand, but he didn't want to be a delicate person.
Youwei was also taken aback, and couldn't help but say loudly: "It's a woman? β
Yu Yao said to the woman, "Say, who sent you?" β
The woman was peach-faced, unmoved.
Yu Yao said: "You rats think that you can stun me with smoke first, don't you know that my Yu clan has stood in this troubled era for hundreds of years, and it is not for nothing." β
Yu Yao opened his lips, and the tip of his tongue sent out a warm and delicate pearl, which was retracted again.
"This is the Wen Rhino Poison Bead, the ancestors of the Yu family have exhausted the East China Sea, so that they can get a lot, and future generations will have this protection, which can cure all kinds of poisons."
Youwei said: "I see! But why am I not dizzy? It must be the function of the exquisite dice! β
Yu Yao exerted another force, and the woman's life was only between the opening and closing of her fingers.
"Don't say it yet?"
Suddenly, the two of them saw her jaw face force fiercely, and a thick stream of blood hurriedly slipped from the corner of her mouth.
Yu Yao exclaimed: "It's not good, she committed suicide by taking poison!" Then he let go of his hand.
The woman's body was staggered and withered.
Youwei's eyes widened in shock, and she asked, "Who wants to kill you and me?" β
Yu Yao said thoughtfully: "This woman has a beautiful face, she is by no means an ordinary assassin, she must have a great background." I expected it to be the Queen's person. β
Youwei said: "Why did the queen do this? β
Yu Yao said: "Today's emperor and Yongan are nominally brothers and sisters, but they are actually cousins. Yong'an's other siblings all suffered an accident early and were killed by Emperor Yin of Han, and the emperor has always loved this only sister. But they are not brothers and sisters after all, the queen is jealous, and she has always been incompatible with Yong'an. But I can't imagine that even if Yongan is married, she will not give up. β
Youwei suddenly realized: "No wonder in the palace, whenever the queen is close to me, the emperor will send a confidant to accompany her." I only thought she was a gentle and generous sister-in-law, but I didn't expect that she was a Buddha-mouthed, ruthless and cunning person. β
Yu Yao sighed and said: "The queen has been afraid of Yong'an for a day or two. In the past, when the emperor was alive, Yong'an was loved by thousands of people, and she was only the crown princess of the East Palace, and she was not in power, so it was naturally difficult to start. Now it seems that the new emperor is on the throne, and he is always on guard against any changes in her, and it is difficult for the palace to start, so he made this decision and sent assassins into the Yu Mansion to assassinate him. β
Youwei said: "The queen is so ruthless! It is said that marrying a wife and marrying virtue, marrying a wife and marrying a virtuous person, not to mention being the queen of the world? Why would the emperor allow the emperor to marry such a poisonous woman? β
Yu Yao said: "This Empress Fu is not an idle person. She was born in a family of Jiangmen, and her grandfather Fu Cunshen was ranked as one of the nineteen Taibao under the account of Jin Taizu, and was crowned King of Qin. Father Fu Yanqing, the fourth son of the trial, was the king of Wei. The first emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty was originally a general who commanded the country's soldiers and horses, and he was an old acquaintance with Fu Yanqing. The Fu family was wiped out in the war, and there were only two orphan girls left in Fu Yanqing's branch. The first emperor took pity on the daughters of the deceased, so he took them as righteous daughters and raised them under the knees of Empress Shengmu, that is, Empress Chai, the biological mother of Yong'an. Later, maybe it was because the children fell in love for a long time, or maybe because they were of the same age, the first emperor intended to match, so he made the decision to let them get married. β
Youwei said: "I see. But now that the Assassin is dead, what should we do? It's better to play the emperor in person and ask him to call the shots. β
Yu Yao said: "By all means, the queen is the lady of the big clan, and there are still many people in the Fu clan who are working for the Great Zhou, and the emperor will not ignore the court." And if the queen knows, it is difficult to guarantee that she will not fail to make a plan and find another way. β
Suddenly, Yu Yao smiled and said to Youwei: "Providence! This is providence! So we disfigured their faces and put them on their wedding clothes, and put them on the clothes of you. And we went on the road overnight and headed for Linglong Mountain! β
Youwei said: "It's too cruel to do this, it's a pity that this woman's pretty face is ruined like this." And even if everyone else thought we were dead, how could the queen not know that the people she sent had come and gone? β
Yu Yao shook his head and said, "Those who achieve great things are not informal. No matter how beautiful you were in life, you will wilt in the dirt after death. The two of them assassinated the princess and the concubine, and after the defeat was revealed, they would definitely implicate their families, so it was better not to do it endlessly...... Besides, the queen is just afraid of Yong'an, and she may not want to kill him quickly, if she knows that you and I are far away, and will no longer pose a threat to her, she will give up. β
Youwei said: "Some are reasonable, then everything is arranged by Brother Yao." β
Yu Yao properly arranged everything at home, and also taught his henchmen how to conceal the inspection of the court and the government.
Then the two packed up the gold and silver overnight, packed up, and left before dawn.
The new sunny field is wild, and there is no atmosphere in the sky.
Guomen Lindu head, village tree Lianxi mouth.
When the sky became brighter, Yu Yao and Youwei were already in the fields outside the city.
"Exquisite dice An red beans, I don't know if I am lovesick to the bones."
On the way, Youwei kept chewing on these two lines of poetry.
"The more I read, the more wonderful it becomes!"
Yu Yao smiled: "You can tell me, where is the subtlety?" β
Youwei said: "The dice are made of bones, and the latter sentence says that the bones are lovesick, and the artistic conception is natural, it is really a good poem!" Then he said: "Brother Yao's family is rich and talented, and now he is the respect of the horse, and the future is limitless, he is willing to give up everything, such a high shore and deep valley affection, I don't know how to repay it." β
Yu Yao smiled bitterly: "Born in troubled times, whether in the rivers and lakes or in the temple, it is a great luck to be able to survive this body." When I was a child, I had commented on the general trend of the world with Yong'an, and Yong'an said that if one day the world was decided, the four seas would accompany me back to Jiangnan for a trip, go to Jiangning, and taste the lifelong regret of the ancestors of the Yu family. β
Youwei said puzzledly: "Jiang Ning? β
Yu Yao breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "Not bad! Jiangning. The ancestor of the Yu family once wrote "Mourning Jiangnan Fu", which moved China and passed on to future generations. There is another famous sentence 'South to the shore of Guangling, looking back at the falling star city.' Needless to say, the old Pu is in the past, and the beacon fire shines on the river. Although the ancestors were forced to leave the northern country, they wanted to return to their hometown all their lives. Half of the good scenery in the south of the Yangtze River is gathered in Jiangning, and it is really the sun and moon of the scriptures, and the spring and autumn of Fandai. β
Youwei smiled: "Okay! In this case, when we find the exquisite dice, if Princess Yongan returns to this body, she will naturally accompany you back to Jiangning, if it fails, I promise you, I will accompany you to see the red dust and rain in the south of the Yangtze River. β
Yu Yao smiled: "A word is a certainty!" β
As soon as the eldest princess of Yong'an married into the Yu Mansion, she encountered an assassin and was killed with both horses, and the news was reported to the palace early the next morning.
Born in troubled times, it is not easy to survive.
only talking about the events of recent years, Liang Taizu Zhu Wen was killed by his son Zhu Youzhen, and then the deposed emperor Zhu Youzhen was killed in a coup d'Γ©tat, and the last emperor Zhu Youzhen was killed; Tang Zhuangzong Li Cunqiao was shot to death by the rebels, Mingzong Li Siyuan was frightened to death in illness, Min Emperor Li Conghou was strangled with a rope after being deposed, and the last emperor Li Congke died of self-immolation; Jin Gaozu Shi Jingjiao died of grief and illness, and the young emperor Shi Chonggui Guopo was captured and taken captive to Khitan.
As for Liu Chengyou, the hidden emperor of the Han Dynasty, he was reckless as a young man and could not bear to be suppressed by his subordinates, so he was suspicious of the general Guo Wei, and took advantage of Guo Wei's trip to Yecheng to kill Guo Wei's family members left in Beijing, which led Guo Wei to rebel, led his troops to attack Bianliang, usurped Han and established the Great Zhou. And Liu Chengyou was also defeated and killed, only twenty-one years old.
The emperor's life is so worthless, let alone the death of a princess, the poor and sick people don't even have much energy to talk about it, and they forget it in a blink of an eye.
At this time, the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty had no time to take care of anything else, and the Great Han, Khitan, Wu Yue, Qingyuan and other tigers and wolves were around, and if they did not kill a bloody road, they would be divided and eroded.
What's more, in the first year of his ascension to the throne, the Han began to collude with the Khitan to invade the south.
It's just that not long after the assassination of the eldest princess of Yong'an, Empress Fu of Xuanyi of the Great Zhou Dynasty also died of illness. Soon after, the emperor renamed Empress Daxing's own sister as the successor empress, known as Empress Xiaofu.
Unknowingly, the two of them have been walking for more than a month and have reached the territory of Dahan.
The Linglong Mountain Road is rugged and winding.
The two of them climbed to a high place, as if they had cleared the clouds and saw the blue sky, and finally saw a colorful temple in the distance.
At this time, a group of roving servants appeared out of nowhere and surrounded the two of them.
"Who's coming? Dare to trespass on Linglong Mountain! β
Yu Yao said: "Misunderstanding and misunderstanding, big brothers, please inform the young owner, in Xia Yuyao, bring the sister to Linglong Villa, in order to meet friends with the young owner in writing, and hope to make it convenient." β
After that, he handed over the name post.
The little guys looked at each other, the Wen family's literary talent is famous, there is no one in the Han Dynasty who is the right in the country, and no one has ever dared to ask for advice with poetry.
The first person said: "Since the son has this will, he is not an idle person who wants to come, please wait here, and let me wait to report to the young owner." β
In a few moments, a young man floated on the mountain, about eighteen or nineteen years old, his face was like a crown of jade, his line was like the wind, and he was elegant and abnormal.
"The rest is the other! I have heard of Brother Yu's name early, and I admire it in my heart, as if I have been friends for a long time, and I don't want to finally see it today. β
The boy smiled and spoke, very enthusiastic.
Yu Yao also replied with a smile: "I have seen Brother Wen, looking at Brother Wen's body description, as I thought in the past, he is a handsome young man." After that, he introduced: "I haven't had time to introduce to Brother Wen, this is my sister, and my name is Youwei." β
Wen Cang secretly looked at Youwei, and already understood a little in her heart, and said while returning the salute: "Miss Yu is polite." β
Youwei replied respectfully.
Wen Cang shook his heart again and again, and said: "Please forgive me for the neglect, Brother Yu, Miss Yu, the two of you have come from afar, and you have worked hard all the way, so it is better to follow me to the inner hall to talk first." β
Yu Yao said with a smile: "The guest is as good as the host, and it is better to be respectful than to obey his fate." β
Wen Cang then led Yu Yao and Youwei into Linglong Villa.
The servants and servants they met on the road all saluted respectfully, and then stood aside.
After passing through the outer courtyard, the gate of the Wu corridor, and the inner garden one by one, even Yu Yao couldn't help but be secretly surprised by the pavilions and pavilions of Linglong Villa, carved beams and painted buildings, and piles of gold powder.
In the inner hall, all the guests and hosts are seated.
The maidservant girl brought delicate refreshments like flowing water.
Dried fruits, fresh fruits, preserves, and so on.
Wen Cang instructed his subordinates: "Go and invite the young lady to come and meet the distinguished guests." Then he said to Yu Yao: "I heard that Brother Yu has become a concubine of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and he encountered an assassin on the night of his wedding, how can he appear here with his sister now?" β
Yu Yao said: "Brother Wen smiled, marrying the princess was a happy event, but it attracted a killer, and it was also my blessing that Bo could not accept the grace of the beauty, so after escaping by luck, he could only change his name and surname and leave the country." β
Wen Cang said: "In this case, Brother Yu can rest assured that Linglong Mountain is a place outside the world, and the tentacles of the imperial court cannot extend here, which is the safest." Although you and I have never seen each other before, but our ancestors have been close to each other for generations, and now my brother is in trouble, so I temporarily take refuge in Linglong Villa, no need to be polite, just think of it as my own backyard. β
At this moment, a jingling sound came from far and near, and Yu Yao and Youwei understood in their hearts that this was Wen Dai, the eldest lady of the Wen family, who had arrived.
Wen Cang stepped forward and said with a smile: "Sister, come and see Brother Yu and Miss Yu." β
Wen Daiying smiled lightly, gave a gentle salute, and said, "I have seen the elder brother of the Yu family, the elder sister of the Yu family." β
Yu Yao and Youwei looked at each other secretly, and saw that although Miss Wen was still young and childish, she had a slender face, a tall figure, and a transparent and intelligent aura, with the corners of her eyes and eyebrows.
The hand makes the white fan, and the fan hand is like jade for a while.
Youwei had heard that Miss Wen had been both civil and military at a young age, and now that she had such an outstanding appearance when she saw each other, she couldn't help but feel secretly ashamed.
