The lonely bird immediately stepped forward and gently knocked on the people in the small courtyard.

As soon as the voice inside stopped, the man asked alertly, "Who's outside?" ”

"Young Master Yan, please open the door." Zhu Xinzhi cleared his throat and said lightly: "Now that you have returned to China, why don't you come and see each other!" ”

There was silence in the room.

Then, someone opened the door to the courtyard from the inside.

Yan walked and stood at the door, General Yan stood behind him, and the two women of the Yan family surrounded the child, looking at the person with a solemn face. As soon as the door opened, I saw a son in a fancy costume and two guards outside, not heavy soldiers, and everyone in the courtyard was stunned.

Zhu Xinzhi made a gesture and said gently: "Under Zhu Xinzhi." ”

"You are the prince of Huai'an in the Eastern Continent!" Yan Xiang immediately shouted.

Zhu Xinzhi nodded lightly, and he immediately stretched out his hand: "Please come in!" ”

Zhu Xinzhi took Gu Yu and Changtian into the courtyard gate, and after Yan walked around and looked around, he cautiously closed the door. As soon as they entered the courtyard, it seemed very quiet, and the women sat on the kang, silently teasing the baby in the young woman's arms, and only glanced at the men from time to time. Yan Xiang and General Yan invited Zhu Xinzhi to sit at the table, lifted the hem of his clothes, and bowed down. The two women were taken aback, and hurriedly came over and knelt down.

Lonely Crane and Changtian cried the child in the woman's arms, and hurriedly helped the two women up one by one.

The two women looked at the men suspiciously, and obediently carried the children into the back room to comfort them.

"Please." Zhu Xinzhi motioned for Yan Go and Old General Yan to get up and let the two sit down.

General Yan Lao's name is Yan Qi, when he was captured, Zhu Xinzhi was not yet born, and Emperor Xuanqing had just become an emperor and was once his comrade-in-arms. Looking at the son of his comrade-in-arms, Yan Qi was in tears, half of his fart. After sitting down, he choked up and couldn't say a word, his expression was excited, compared to his son who grew up in the Northern Wei Dynasty, no one could understand the excitement he felt when he saw the Donglu royal family at this moment.

Zhu Xinzhi shouted softly: "Uncle Yan." ”

"I can't afford it, I can't afford it!" Yan Qi waved his hand again and again: "It's a bad old man!" ”

"You deserve it." Zhu Xinzhi slowly reacted from the shock of seeing the Yan family, became rational and calm, and said steadily: "Since Uncle Yan descended to the Northern Wei Dynasty, the world has been infamous in the world, but Uncle Yan has never sold his life for the people of the Northern Wei Dynasty, and I still respect you as a native of the Eastern Continent." “

Yan Qi wept: "Thank you for your compassion." It's just that the old man has no way to teach his son, and he is tired of the Donglu people! ”

"Your son is your son." Zhu Xinzhi turned his gaze to Yan Xiang, and it suddenly became complicated.

The Northern Wei Dynasty military Yan left, how many good strategies he had for the Northern Wei Dynasty, and how many soldiers he had calculated in the Eastern Continent, this person, he really felt very complicated, and he had mixed feelings in his heart, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

Yan Xiang knelt down again, his hands on the ground, his forehead was dead against the soil, and he said word by word: "I am deeply guilty, although I did not kill people, but they were indeed killed by me." The death of thousands of soldiers in the Eastern Continent is my unshirkable responsibility. Not only that, but I also killed the lord of Tai'an in the Eastern Continent, and I deserved to die for dividing the monarchs and soldiers of the Eastern Continent. Today, I set foot on the land of the Eastern Continent and brought the prince here to atone for my sins! If you want to kill or chop, listen to the respect, and only beg the prince to protect my Yan family, they are all innocent, and they should not pay me back! ”

The words were loud, but they had iron bones.

But what he said was tantamount to another thunderbolt.

The lonely bird couldn't help but be the first to call out: "What do you mean to kill the lord of Tai'an and divide the soldiers of the Eastern Continent?" ”

Yan Qi also knelt down, weeping and saying, "Xiao'er has a great sin in Donglu Sheji. Because he knew that the lord of Tai'an was guarding the northwest, in the past three years, the northwest was like an iron bucket, and the Northern Wei Dynasty could not attack it for a long time. On the other hand, he sent a lot of gold and forged correspondence to frame the lord of Taean. Another fine work was mixed into the Eastern Army, and he was punished by the lord of Tai'an County for violating military discipline, and returned to the Northern Wei Dynasty, which was called the bitter trick of the chief envoy of Tai'an County. ”

Zhu Xinzhi suddenly stood up.

His voice suddenly shook violently: "You say, Lord Tai'an...... Is it wronged? ”

Later, there was already crying.

What Yan Qi and Yan Go said is a lot of evidence for the original conviction.

At that time, the reason why the lord of Tai'an was convicted of defecting to the enemy and betraying the country was because he found letters in the mansion and exchanged letters with the Northern Wei Dynasty, and there were witnesses who tested.

But now, Yan Qi and Yan Go told him that these so-called evidences were all framed by the Northern Wei Dynasty to the lord of Tai'an?

So, he killed the wrong person? Donglu killed the wrong person?

Pei family, that's Pei family!

Generations of loyalty, how many steel and iron bones were buried outside Jiling City, and countless blood was sprinkled on the Pei family in the northwest land!

Pei Yongjun, who joined the army at the age of eighteen, supported Emperor Xuanqing to ascend to the throne step by step at the age of thirty, and contributed his whole life to the northwest and the Eastern Continent. He was busy with military affairs, and he never continued after the death of his wife, until Emperor Xuanqing forced him to give him a woman, and the Pei family had a son. Pei Xie Tang, who joined the army at the age of thirteen and went to the battlefield at the age of seventeen, in the green years of many girls in the Eastern Continent, she abandoned the delicate and delicate girls for the sake of the Eastern Continent, she never wore the dress that the girls liked, never wore the fat powder, wore arms, incarnated as the god of war, and guarded a land!

However, Pei Yongjun eventually died of an old injury and never had a good death.

And Pei Xie Tang, Pei Xie Tang......

Zhu Xinzhi's throat choked, and for a while, he was so excited that he couldn't help himself, only to feel that his heart was blocked by something, so heavy that his knees could barely support his body, and he slowly slipped off the chair.

The lonely crane supported him left and right, and he barely stood still, and tears were already falling.

And she......

He opened his lips, his heart throbbing violently, and his face turned pale. He stretched out his hand, glanced at it, and whispered, "She was poisoned by my own hands." ”

It was these hands, on the Xuanjiao Tower, that he brought her wine.

It was these eyes that watched her drink it, and it was not moistened for half a minute.

At that time, on the Xuanjiao Tower, the spring breeze was cold, and she smiled and said to him: "Lord, are you here to send me?" ”

When she closed her eyes, every word still echoed in Zhu Xinzhi's heart and ears, and every expression was still clear, as if it had never dissipated. She said:

"I'm scared to death. But the left and right are going to die, so it's better to make yourself comfortable. She lowered her eyes and sighed softly as if she was reluctant: "After all, there is no prince in hell, I...... If you don't have anyone to accompany you, it will be very lonely. ”

She said, "Lord, you don't believe me. ”

She said: "The prince asked me if I was okay with my father, and I felt a little sorry, but not because of these, but because I couldn't keep his posthumous son." That's all. ”

She said: "The vicissitudes of the world, my time has come, and the time of the Pei family has also arrived." It's just that...... I died at your hands, Lord Wang, Huangquan Road, Nai He Bridge, Pei Xie Tang should stay for you. ”

She said, "Don't keep me waiting!" ”

And at that time, he only replied to her: "Let's go." ”

For a while, thousands of past events passed in front of me.

One moment she smiled happily and spoke to herself, one moment she stood in front of thousands of troops in armor, and one moment she looked at herself with sad eyes, wanting to speak and then stopping......

Zhu Xinzhi held his heart, and suddenly felt that his mouth was fishy, and the lonely bird in his ear had exclaimed: "Lord, you vomited blood!" ”

Yan Qi and Yan Go also hurriedly stood up, Yan Qi's eyes were full of worry, but Yan Go looked at him fixedly. Zhu Xinzhi touched the blood at the corner of his mouth, his heart fluctuated, he sat down dizzily, and used his internal force to suppress the fishy sweetness that kept coming up, before waving his hand: "I'm fine, you say it quickly, don't leave a word behind, I want to know the truth!" ”

Yan walked calmly and said: "What my father said just now is the whole truth. The lord of Tai'an did not betray the monarch and commit treason, and the evidence you got was forged by the Northern Wei Dynasty. In fact, until the night before she was summoned back to Beijing, she was still fighting against the Northern Wei people in the city of Erhan. ”

"I see." Zhu Xinzhi murmured: "This is a ploy. ”

"Yes." Yan walked and lowered his eyes: "It was my advice to Tuoba Jin, and it was also the handwritten letter of the Tai'an County Lord that I brought people to the Eastern Continent to find, and the evidence of forgery." I deserve death. ”

"How did you get the handbook?" Zhu Xinzhi asked.

Yan Qi said: "I bought it." ”

"Who sold it?"

"I don't recognize it. Sold by a man who looked like an old butler. I think there is a channel. ”

"Goodbye this person, can you recognize it?"

"Yes."

"Good. I'll trust you for the time being. Zhu Xinzhi took a deep breath: "In addition to your confession, do you have any other evidence to prove the innocence of this matter?" ”

"Yes." Yan Xiang took out some things from his arms, and put them all on the table in front of Zhu Xinzhi: "This is the letter that Tuoba Jin gave me at that time, and there is an order in it. This is my book to Tuoba Jin, and I wrote some details of the beginning, which can be compared. ”

Zhu Xinzhi asked some more about why Yan Go surrendered, and Yan Go said them one by one. Yan Qi listened on the side, and when he heard the sadness, he couldn't help crying again and again, which made people unbearable to ask.

Zhu Xinzhi was extremely cautious in these matters, and asked back and forth for a long time, and after determining countless details, he was sure that what the Yan family said was 100% credible. Outside the house, the sun had set, and the night was coming, just like the eastern continent, from light to darkness in the wind and rain, and the world did not know that the person who could shelter them from the wind and rain had already sunk the dust of the ground.

"Okay, if you meet me, will you?" Zhu Xinzhi finally asked.

Yan Xiang nodded: "As long as you promise to shelter my parents, wife and children, I will not do it." My life should have been lost in the Northern Wei Dynasty, but now it was just picked up, if I can exchange them for safety, I should also die to atone for my sins, I still have a copy of the military layout map of the Northern Wei Dynasty, I have copied it out, and I can hand it over to the Eastern Continent at any time. ”

"Let's go, then." Zhu Xinzhi got up calmly.

After he comforted Yan Qi for a few words, he took the lead out of the courtyard gate, and he couldn't see anything in his back, but the people who were familiar with him knew that his steps were vain, and his mood was obviously extremely unstable. The two of them were worried, and hurriedly followed his steps.

Three people when they came, four people when they went.

After the carriage secretly picked up Yan away, Changtian first returned to Huai'an Wangfu and brought someone to place the Yan family in Huai'an Wangfu. Zhu Xinzhi took Yan into the palace and asked to see Emperor Xuanqing.

That day was the second day of the sixth month of the twenty-third year of Xuanqing, and it was four months before the death of the lord of Tai'an.
