From Princess Qiu's mouth, although there was not much other useful information, He Ying also faintly heard something: at least in the past two days, there should be no war.

He Ying walked agilely among the mountain peaks, and at the same time wondered: It is better to take this opportunity to go to Zhoucheng to see Zhou Yan. See what his current situation is.

For Zhou Yan, she had already inquired along the way: he was now imprisoned in his own palace by Zhou Jun. Although Zhou Jun has always loved Pang Ta, he is also more afraid of Xia Guo's coercion. He was planning to hand over Zhou Yan to offset the wrath of King Xia if the Xia Kingdom wanted him to hand him over.

Therefore, rescuing Zhou Yan is the focus of He Ying's line. She was now passing by the North City Gate, not far from the battlefield, so she temporarily wanted to observe. This also laid the direction for his actions after returning to Zhou Cheng.

When hurriedly returning to the North City Gate, He Ying came to the restaurant. As soon as I entered the restaurant, I learned from Xiao Er's mouth that Lu Ming and the two had already settled out and left two days ago. It was expected that he went to the Zhou army.

He Ying didn't stay, ate a little, turned around and set off towards Zhou Cheng. She still has some silver taels on her, which Lu Ming hid in the restaurant and gave her a backup. At that moment, He Ying bought a horse with a part, and then hurried for days and days, heading straight for Zhoucheng.

The north city gate is also thousands of miles away from Zhou City. He Ying was afraid that things would change over time, so she didn't dare to delay on the road. I hurried overnight, and arrived in Zhoucheng in the evening of the third day.

As soon as she entered Zhoucheng, He Ying was in a trance: she had stayed in this place for more than a year.

I found a restaurant to eat. After washing. He Ying sold his horse, turned around and walked towards the palace of the four princes.

At this time, it was already dark, and He Ying walked on the street, feeling very cold. There are occasional pedestrians passing by on the street, but they look panicked, no longer looking like they were in the happy and peaceful place a year ago.

When she walked to the Four Princes' Mansion, she saw that the door of the mansion was closed, and the outside of the mansion was deserted.

He Ying walked to the restaurant opposite. I drank a bowl of tea slowly, until there were fewer and fewer people coming and going on the street, and the stars in the sky hung sparsely and faintly. Only then did he get up and walk towards the back door of the Four Princes' Mansion.

Not far from the back door, He Ying climbed over the wall. She has practiced this kung fu for many years, and as soon as she entered, she immediately hid her body quickly, and saw that there was no dog barking. Only then did the cat bend his waist and walk cautiously towards the main courtyard.

The courtyard was empty, and not even a few servants appeared. Thinking of a year ago, when the scene of joy and music all night long here, He Ying suddenly felt desolate.

There weren't many people in the courtyard, so He Ying didn't need to be too careful. She quickly infiltrated the main courtyard. After thinking about it, she still gave up her plan to come forward directly to find Zhou Yan, but jumped on the roof and dived to the room where Zhou Yan often lived.

Not for a while. She was on it. Uncovering a tile, He Ying looked down.

A lantern hangs in the corner of the house. There was a candle burning on the table in the middle of the room, all over the hall. It's a bit eerie. Zhou Yan was wearing a robe and reading a book with a candle.

In the wax light, his expression was calm, and his face was as good as ever, and he couldn't see the slightest haggardness. It's just that between the eyebrows, there is less of that kind of jumping light field, and a little more calm.

At this time, He Ying had no intention of going down to recognize him immediately. She has a deep-seated distrust of people in her bones. Since it is as intimate as a week. She was also reluctant to jump down and show her true face to recognize him.

Zhou Yan looked at the book quietly. From time to time, make the wax core a little brighter. He Ying looked at him quietly on the roof, her eyes flashing.

After a while, there was a soft thumping sound outside. As soon as Zhou Yan put the book down, he immediately stood up. He walked to the door, and as soon as he opened it, a man in black flashed in.

He Ying was stunned, shrunk his body, and covered the tiles silently. The ears were on the house and they listened.

The king was furious today, and scolded Yun Ji, the mother of the son, and the meaning of the words was that the strange son made friends and caused him trouble. At the same time, the king said again: If the Xia Kingdom wants people, he will not think of the relationship between father and son. ”

The man said this in a low voice, Zhou Yan smiled bitterly and said, "He has said this no less than ten times." I'm afraid that the people of the whole Zhou country will know about it. ”

The man did not answer, paused, and said, "The king reported again, but he still did not find He Ying and his family. The king was very angry at this, and broke a piece of jade pendant and several porcelain bottles. ”

Speaking of this, the man paused and said softly: "Childe, although the king's supervision of Gongzi has been relaxed a little, his tone has not been loosened. Listening to what he meant, it seemed that he was still planning to find He Ying from Gongzi. The king said again and again that Gongzi was a bit stupid, and he would rather suffer for a woman who didn't know good or bad. ”

Zhou Yan smiled bitterly and sighed: "I really don't know where He Ying is, and you don't need to test this." ”

The man immediately replied, "My subordinates don't dare." ”

"Is there anything else?" Zhou Yan asked lightly.

The man said softly: "There is a small matter, five days ago, the king once said that he would recruit a sage from the people to calculate the good fortune of this battle. The subordinates guessed the king's intentions, and they were afraid that they wanted to cut the city again and sue for peace. ”

Zhou Yan said coldly: "Didn't he always want to cut the city and sue for peace? It's just that King Xia refuses to give up easily. What's the point of rehashing the old story now? ”

The man was silent for a long time, and then whispered: "As far as his subordinates know, the city that the king cut this time is afraid that it occupies half of the Zhou!" ”

"What?" Zhou Yan's voice suddenly rose. At this time, the man nervously shouted, "Childe, you should be quiet. ”

Zhou Yan gasped, as if he was trying his best to suppress his anger. He said sadly: "There are so many sages in the palace, he has to go to the people to find them." Didn't you want to convey your meaning to the Xia Kingdom, so that they could send a sage, so as not to cut off half of the country in the future and be laughed at by the people of the world? ”

The man was speechless for a while, and Zhou Yan gasped rapidly. He said hatefully, "My father, my father, it's too much! He paced around the house, and after a while, his footsteps stopped, and he said, "Is there a messenger from the Xia Kingdom?" ”

The man said, "No, the summer envoy hasn't been here since the last time. The ministers all said that King Xia would not give up now, and even if He Ying was offered at that time, King Xia's desire would be difficult to satisfy. He aims to be in the Zhou Kingdom! ”

"Ambition is in the country of Zhou!" Zhou Yan muttered to himself: "The ambition is in the Zhou Kingdom!" ”

At this time, the man said, "Fourth son, my subordinates have left." Zhou Yan stopped and mumbled. After a while, there was a knock on the door. As his footsteps got farther and farther away, Zhou Yan sat down with his ass and held his head tightly with both hands. FU.，▋| . OM，▋| . OM，▋| . OM，▋| [End of Chapter]
