Chapter 60: The Border City is in Turmoil
Yun Chuan paced back and forth in the yurt, constantly looking out.
After a while, Yun Xi returned.
"What's the matter, why did you send it for so long, did he ask me?" Yun Chuan pulled Yun Xi and asked.
"You've been waiting for me to come back?" Yun Xi sat slowly beside the desk, looked up at Yun Chuan and smiled playfully.
"Good sister, tell me quickly." Yun Chuan snuggled up and said coquettishly.
"Brother Qingqiu, he didn't say a word, and he could see that he was very disappointed and disappointed." Yun Xi thought back to the scene just now, he wanted to say goodbye to Yu Wenhan and Yang Qingqiu, but Qingqiu didn't say a word. Yu Wenhan thanked Sheng Ze repeatedly, and Yang Qingqiu finally simply went to lead the horse, but he didn't come forward to say a word.
"Really? Even if he still has the heart, it's not in vain that I endure it for so long. Yun Chuan sat on the carpet and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Then you don't want him?" Yun Xi moved to sit down next to Yun Chuan and asked.
"I think, the person who originally lived in my imagination suddenly became a reality, of course I want to hold on to it, I'm really afraid it's a dream." Yun Chuan looked at Yun Xi and smiled, and then said, "However, I thought about it last night, although Sheng Ze is not very reliable emotionally, but at least one thing is right, 'We girls, we can't be too active, things that are too easy to get are generally not cherished by men'." And even if I go to see him off this morning, regardless of my previous suspicions, he will leave me and go back to the Central Plains, so it is better to let him know that I am still angry, and I have a pimple in my heart and a thought. ”
"Tsk, my princess Yunchuan, aren't you going to be called a master of love with the little prince." Yun Xi nodded at Yun Chuan's head with a look of affection and said, "However, I just heard King Ping and Little Wang Ye say that they will come again in three months and half a year in the long." ”
"Really, but there's still three months, hey!" Yun Chuan sat up and sighed.
"What's the matter, I just said it so chic, and now I feel lovesick again." Yun Xi laughed. She didn't know what her cousin had discussed with Sheng Ze, but when she talked about this meeting time, her voice was much louder, and she knew that it was what her cousin wanted her to hear.
"Isn't it? Therefore, this love master is not so easy to be. Yun Chuan lowered his head again.
"Hey, you and Brother Qingqiu, this is so strong and good-looking. Here's this, my cousin gave it to you. Yun Xi took out a note from his waist and handed it to Yun Chuan.
It turned out to be the mailing address of Dashu Jingcheng, which Yu Wenhan promised to Yunchuan yesterday. "Qingqiu, it would be nice if this King Ping was half understanding." Yun Chuan said and put away the note, and said, "Let's also pack up and go back to Tusang, presumably my father and the king should go back in a few days." ”
As he was talking, Sheng Ze's attendants came to report that they had prepared a carriage for Yunchuan Yunxi, and they could set off at any time.
"Where's the little prince? I was about to say goodbye to him. Yun Chuan asked.
"The little prince has just gone out in an emergency, and he told me to send the princess to Tusang safely." The guard replied.
"In such a hurry, you don't even have time to see each other?" Yun Chuan wondered, thinking: Isn't this Sheng Ze angry again.
————————————————————————————————
In the evening, the sun went down, and the night seemed to come sooner than usual.
Yu Wenhan and Yang Qingqiu finally arrived in the border city, and it was not yet curfew, but there were no people on the streets, and the traders had already closed their stalls, and even many shops along the street were closed, which was exactly the opposite of the scene when they first arrived in the border city last time.
"King Ping, are we staying at the guest house, or are we going directly to the General's Mansion." Yang Qingqiu asked.
"Let's find an inn to live in, and go to the 'Guyue Inn' last time, and find out why first." Yu Wenhan said.
The two walked to the Guyue Inn, but saw that the shopkeeper took down the red lantern at the door and hung up the white lantern, and the lobby was also whispering, and the atmosphere was weird.
"I didn't see you change the lantern last time the inn died, what's wrong?" Yang Qingqiu stepped forward and asked.
"Don't ask more." The shopkeeper registered the lantern, led the horses of the two, and admonished.
Yang Qingqiu and Yu Wenhan walked into the store and looked around, there was no shopkeeper in this inn, only two or three tables of people were eating and talking softly. "Man, where's your shopkeeper?" Yang Qingqiu asked.
"The shopkeeper has been taken to the General's Mansion." A young guy said.
As soon as the words fell, Xiao Er, who had just come back from leading the horse, slapped the young man in the head and reprimanded: "Let you talk too much!" Then he looked at Yang Qingqiu and the two with a smile and said, "Guest officer, are you going to play a tip or stay in a hotel today?" ”
"Let's get two rooms." Yang Qingqiu handed the luggage to Xiao Er and said, "You help us get the room, let's eat something down there first." ”
Yang Qingqiu and the others found a table close to a little more people and sat down, and ordered a few dishes. Yang Qingqiu saw that the people next to him were whispering, and he couldn't hear it clearly, so he leaned over directly and asked, "Two uncles, forgive me for taking the liberty of being presumptuous, our two brothers came here a few days ago, and it was prosperous and lively, isn't it what happened in the past few days?" ”
A few people who were talking softly looked up at this uninvited guest, and they all sat up straight and stopped talking.
Seeing this, Yu Wenhan walked over and said, "Our two brothers passed through here to go to the Marble Conference, and we took a detour a little slower, but I thought that many people who participated in the Marble Conference should go to the border city in the past two days, and it should be very lively." As he spoke, he took out the plaque of the Marble Conference from his bosom and put it on the table.
When these people saw that the plaque of the Marble Conference was indeed genuine, they let down their guard and glanced at each other, and a bearded uncle quickly moved his position and asked them to sit over. "How did you get into the city?" But put this plaque away, or you will be kicked out of this small city now, and you will go back wherever you came from. ”
"I've heard that not everyone can go back and forth from anywhere, those who are famous for their martial arts have been thrown out, and those who are not famous for their martial arts have been taken to the dungeons outside the city and locked up." Another thick-eyebrow uncle said.
"Why?" Yang Qingqiu thought about crossing the border today, but fortunately he didn't use this plaque, but the plaque of the border city merchants prepared separately.
"I heard that General Wang Yu's beloved son, our Great Demon King of the Mixed World, Wang Chengyu, was killed in front of the Marble Conference." Uncle Beard whispered.
"Nonsense, how do I not know?" Yang Qingqiu said.
"Hey, be quiet." Uncle Beard shouted, "You are just spectators of the Marble Conference, how can you know about such a level of people." ”
"Uncle, isn't this Wang Chengyu representing the imperial court at the Yunshi Conference? The Yue tribe is hard to be treated, how can it be hurt? Yu Wenhan poured the man full of wine and asked.
"The Yue tribe was very hospitable, but on the eve of the Yunshi Conference, this Wang Chengyu was also arrogant, and for some reason he fought with the prince of Huangbei, and brought a lot of people to discount the other party's legs, so angry that dozens of people in Huangbei left without even participating in the Yunshi Conference. This Huang Bei is also vicious enough, and directly dragged Wang Chengyu and the others out to kill them, or Tusang sent someone to find the body and sent it over this morning. Uncle Beard gestured with his hand as he spoke.
Yang Qingqiu sneered, this story is indeed bizarre, and I don't know which master thought of it.
"This ...... It is true that I didn't see Huang Bei's people and Wang Chengyu at the Yunshi Conference. Yu Wenhan thought about the scene that Yang Qingqiu and himself depicted, and asked, "Is this true?" Isn't Huang Bei very harmonious with my dynasty? ”
Uncle Beard grabbed the young man who was passing by and asked, "Come, tell me, what you heard this morning, did Huang Bei kill Wang Chengyue?" Did your shopkeeper be taken to the General's Mansion for questioning, and he has not yet returned? ”
The guy who ran the hall looked to the side, and it happened that the little second in charge was not in the lobby, so he leaned over and said: "This morning, General Helian Qiji and King Zuo Xian of the Tusang tribe personally transported the bodies of Wang Chengyu and all the soldiers he brought to the desert to the palace of the great general Wang Yu, and the general's mansion was in chaos, and the general's wife fainted. I personally heard the soldier who took our shopkeeper away say that Huang Bei's people not only killed Wang Chengyu, but also threw his body into the wilderness. ”
"Then why did you take your shopkeeper to interrogate?" Yu Wenhan asked.
"Before Wang Chengyue set off, he stayed in our inn for a night, and there was a murder that night, and no one asked at that time, and I don't know who ordered it, and took our shopkeeper away. As a sign of loyalty, my shopkeeper instructed us to change into white lanterns at night as a sign of mourning. The guy who ran the hall said.
"Look, let's not talk nonsense, this Wang Chengyu is also a demon king of the mixed world, even if he dominates his own territory, he dares to mess around when he runs into the desert, and they all say that those barbarians in the grassland are all hairy and blood-drinking, killing people without blinking, and even people dare to eat if they can't find food in winter." Uncle Beard shook his head and sighed.
"So what's going to be done?" Yu Wenhan then asked.
"What else? There must be a fight, if you can go, take your wife and children with you, and you outsiders should run away. This war is not a joke, it has been a small fight in the past few years, and if there is a real war, there will be corpses all over the field and rivers of blood. Uncle Beard took a sip of wine and said.
"Don't scare me, if this really starts, what can we do with this inn business?" The young man asked.
"Still in business? You stupid boy! Uncle Thick Eyebrows sneered and said, "It's okay if I don't pull you to join the army, you look at your thin appearance, I'm afraid you won't even be able to pick up a big knife." ”
"What are you pulling me for, I'm only 13 years old, not yet 15." The guy in the hall hugged the tray tightly, obviously startled.
"Then you go back and call your mother to burn more incense, hoping that General Wang Yu will win and destroy Huang Bei, otherwise let alone a 13-year-old boy, even I, an old man in my 50s, who is half cut into the ground, will be dragged to carry a knife." Uncle Beard said with another glass of wine.
"Uncle, don't scare me." The young man simply found a seat and sat down and said.
The bearded uncle drank a pot of wine, and the strength of the wine also came up, and he also opened up and said: "I think when I was young, I also worked as a man in the barracks for more than ten years, what battles have I never seen back then?" It's time for you young people to catch up. Twenty years ago, in that big battle, my husband and I were forced to go to the battlefield with a spatula. ”
