Chapter 5: The Way Back

When he was tired, lying in the dry haystack was really comfortable, although there was still a sleeping bag in the backpack, Zhao Ye didn't want to move at all, and the overnight rush tossed this young body hungry and tired.

At this time, the sky was already bright, and Zhao Ye looked at the young emperor Liu Wei clearly for the first time, Liu Bian, who was already tired, was curled up in the grass with his eyes closed, dressed in brocade clothes, his equally immature face was filled with boundless tiredness, and his hair was messy.

Where is the majesty of the Son of Heaven, no matter how noble a person is, he is not as good as an ordinary person when he is in trouble.

Lying by the river for several hours, the clothes of the two were already soaked, although it was summer, it was still a little cool in the morning, Zhao Ye rubbed his hands, hugged a ball of hay, made a fire, and baked the soaked clothes of the two.

Seeing that Liu Wei seemed to be asleep, Zhao Ye took out a box wrapped in bright yellow brocade cloth from his arms, the box was made of fine sandalwood, and when he lifted the brocade cloth, bursts of sandalwood wafted out.

Zhao Ye doesn't understand jade, I don't know where the jade of this jade seal is, but it is warm and moist to start, the five dragons on it are staggered, turn it over, and carve a few big characters, Zhao Ye doesn't know the small seal, and vaguely feels that it seems to be ordered by the sky, and it is longevity and eternal prosperity.

The legendary jade seal of the country was passed on to those evil, Zhao Ye looked left and right, and he didn't feel anything unusual. lost interest in a moment, as for those who say that the jade seal wins the world, Zhao Ye, as a future generation, does not believe such nonsense.

After putting away the jade seal, Zhao Ye looked at Liu Wei who was asleep, and quietly put the jade seal next to Liu Wei.

What you want to see has been seen, and the things that should be done have been completed, so don't leave at this time, let alone when.

Zhao Ye was about to slip away with his bag on his back, and behind the haystack, a middle-aged man came out, dressed in a fur coat and covered with a green cloak. Seeing Zhao Ye, he said:

"Wait a young man, what are you doing in my haystack?"

When Liu Wei heard the voice, he got up from the grass in a panic, and he was speechless for a while, not knowing how to respond.

Zhao Ye looked around, there was only one person, and then looked at this person's face, his cheeks were clean, and his chin had a three-inch long beard, not like a person who had been weathered. At the moment, he pointed to the frightened Liu on the side and said: "This is today's son, I am the brother of the Son of Heaven, King Chen Liu." Who are you? ”

When the middle-aged man heard this, he hurriedly fell to the ground. Said: "The minister is Cui Yi, the younger brother of Situ Cui Lie. ”

After hearing this, Liu Bian's heart was a little calmer, but he still asked suspiciously: "Brother Ru is a minister of the first emperor, why is he living in seclusion?" ”

Cui Yi bowed again and replied: "My brother resigned from the official position and took me to live in seclusion here because he couldn't see the ten permanent servants selling officials and jealous of the virtuous. ”

Liu Wei listened and sighed, Zhao Ye could clearly feel the helplessness and regret of this breath.

Seeing that Cui Yi was still worshipping the ground, Liu Wei seemed to have forgotten to shout a flat sentence. Zhao Ye stepped forward, helped Cui Yi up, and said, "Your Majesty and I have suffered from the chaos of the Ten Standing Servants, and we are in trouble. Can I take a break from your village? ”

Cui Yi wanted to invite the two of them to the village to rest, but he was afraid that the village would be cold and snub the distinguished guests, so he only waited for Liu Wei to speak. Now that King Chen Liuwang spoke first, Cui Yi hurriedly got up and said, "If Your Majesty and King Chen don't dislike the shabby Chenzhuang, you can go in and rest for a while, and the ministers will prepare some food to fulfill the friendship of the landlord." ”

Zhao Ye turned his head and handed Liu Biao an inquiring look, and when he saw Liu Biao nodding his head, he said, "Then I will bother Master Cui Zhuang to lead the way." ”

The three of them entered the village, Liu Wei sat on the high hall, and Zhao Ye sat on the left, the two of them were already hungry, but they waited patiently until Cui Yi arranged the meal, and the three of them sat down. Although the food was not comparable to that of his previous life, Zhao Ye still ate it with gusto.

The food was extremely ordinary, and Liu Wei usually didn't touch it at all, so he was hungry and ate the food with a frown.

Until his stomach was half full, Zhao Ye asked, "How does Master Cui know that there are two of us hidden in the grass pile behind him?" ”

Hearing Zhao Ye's question, Liu Wei also stopped eating, and waited curiously for Cui Yi's answer.

Originally, it was an extremely ordinary question, as long as it was answered truthfully, but sitting opposite was the current emperor. Cui Yi thought for a moment and said: "I dreamed in my sleep that two red suns fell on my village, and I woke up and felt very strange, and I was worried, so I looked behind me and saw the red light rushing to the sky after the village, so I met Your Majesty and King Chen. ”

Zhao Ye looked at Cui Yi's brain-racking answer, and felt funny in his heart. This guy played the emperor right. Seeing him sweating profusely, it was really embarrassing for him, but he just made a fire and made a certain god descend to the earth.

After the meal, Cui Yi retreated, leaving the two of them to rest in the hall, and after exiting the door, he called the doorman and said: "There is a distinguished guest in the village, you go and inquire to see if there are any officials around who are looking for a distinguished guest, if there is, you will find its leader and hand this over." ”

After that, he took out a portable jade pendant from his arms, and the proud dragon circled on it. "This is a personal belonging, remember, only one person can be called."

If you go out today, Luoyang City is in chaos, and Cui Yi has to be cautious.

The doorman took the order. Cui Yi wandered carefully at the door of the hall, the more he thought about it, the more he couldn't let go, since Cui Lie resigned, he passed away within a few years, Cui Yi relied on a few acres of thin fields to support the entire Cui Jiazhuang, and in troubled times, life became more and more difficult.

If today's son comes, it will be an opportunity for the entire Cui Zhuang, and similarly, if there is a business trip, it will be a disaster to destroy the village. Therefore, I can't help but think more.

Seeing that there was no sound in the hall, the two seemed to be resting, this night's rush, the two of them probably didn't wake up so soon, Cui Yi decided to run by himself, so he called the old servant of the housekeeper and said, "You are guarding the distinguished guests here, I will come when I go." ”

Cui Yi turned his head and left, thought about it and then turned back and ordered: "If the two distinguished guests wake up, you will say that I will go to find Lord Situ Wang Yunwang." ”

After the order, Cui Yi changed his clothes and went out in a hurry, he was more than half a hundred years old, at this time he walked like flying, and in a blink of an eye, he went down the hill, followed the river, and went straight to Luoyang City.

Besides, that Min Gong, seeing that Zhang Rang had committed suicide by throwing himself into the river, did not find the son of today, so he chased forward, kept up with Duan Jue, and asked where the Son of Heaven was, Duan Jue was separated from the Son of Heaven and could not tell him, Min Gong was angry, and cut off Duan Jue's head.

If you can't find the Son of Heaven, you can only take Duan Jue's head to make an errand, so as not to be punished. Then he dismissed his subordinates and conducted a carpet search. He had to go back alone, tell the rear as soon as possible, and bring in the rescue soldiers to find the missing His Majesty and King Chen.

Cui Yi rushed along the road to Luoyang City, and happened to meet Min Gong who came to him, and saw that Min Gong was immediately tied to a head, and Cui Yi recognized that this head was Duan Jue, one of the ten permanent servants.

The news of Los Angeles has spread throughout Los Angeles in the morning, and through the investigation of the news, Cui Yi knows that there are a bunch of people who are looking for His Majesty, led by Situ Wang Yun. Cui Yi looked at this person, he looked like a tiger's back, and his body was fully armored, and at that moment, he stopped Ma Wen and deliberately asked: "Are you the general of the Ping Shi Chang Rebellion?" ”

Min Gong was amazed. The blood on his armor was not washed, and the pedestrians on the road saw that he avoided it, and there was an old man blocking his way, so he immediately said: "I am Peng Mingong in central Henan, who are you?" Why are you holding me back? Get out of the way quickly, I have something important to report to Wang Situ, don't delay my time, otherwise you will lose your head. ”

Cui Yi was overjoyed when he heard this, and said: "I am Cui Yi, the owner of Cui Zhuang nearby, and my brother is Cui Yi, the former dynasty, and now there are two distinguished guests resting at home." I wonder if General Min can go with me? ”

When Min Gong heard this, he said angrily: "What do your guests and my guests have to do with me, get out of the way quickly, not to mention that you are the former court Situ, if you delay the big event, even if you are the court Situ, you can't keep your head." ”

Cui Yi laughed and laughed, so he had to say: "I know that the general is looking for His Majesty and King Chen Liu, and now His Majesty and King Chen are resting in my village." ”

Min Gong was overjoyed when he heard this: "Seriously." ”

"What a lie to you."

"Then bother the owner of Cui Zhuang to lead the way."

Cui Yi took Min Gong to Cui Zhuang, the door of the hall was still closed, and the old servant was sitting on the steps napping. Before he finished speaking, he saw a general behind Cui Yi who was fully armored and covered in blood, and at the moment, he was so nervous that he couldn't speak.

Where have the people in Zhuangzhong seen such a scene, Cui Yi had to call the old servant away. Calculating the time, the two estimated that they had been asleep for two hours, so they knocked on the door and whispered, "King Chen? ”

Zhao Ye slept for half a night last night, slept for another two hours, and was no longer sleepy, but he wanted to escape from Liu Wei at the moment, but when he walked to the door, he met Cui Yi knocking on the door. Immediately replied: "What is the matter with Master Cui?" ”

Cui Yi replied: "Peng Mingong in central Henan was ordered by the Queen Mother to return to Kyoto in search of His Majesty. ”

When opening the door, Zhao Ye looked at it and saw a man in full armor kneeling under the steps, Zhao Ye recognized him, last night he led a team of people to kill Liu Wei and his entourage, forcing Zhang Rang to dive.

Although Zhao Ye has read the Three Kingdoms, it has been too long to remember those details, but he doesn't know whether the person in front of him is good or bad.

"Do you have a send-of-the-envelope?" Zhao Ye asked.

"King Chen Liu, I have Wang Situ's warrant, and King Chen Liuwang can take a look." After that, he took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Zhao Ye.

Zhao Ye opened the letter, only to see that it was written on the order of the Queen Mother, except for the ten permanent servants to protect and save Emperor Yunyun, his rhetoric was extremely ordinary, and it seemed that it was written in a hurry. Zhao Ye didn't recognize Wang Yun's notes, and said, "You wait for a while, wait for me to tell Your Majesty." ”

Listening to the movement outside the house, Liu Wei had already woken up, saw Zhao Ye enter the hall, and closed the door.

"Brother Huang, there is a person outside the house who claims to be a person from Min Gong, and he took Wang Yun's letter and said that he was looking for His Majesty to return to the capital. I don't recognize Wang Yun's notes, so the royal brother will help check it. ”

Liu Wei borrowed the letter, read it carefully, and said, "This is Wang Situ's letter, yes." The Queen Mother is fine, and I am relieved. You let people in. ”

When Min Gong entered the hall, he saw Liu Wei dressed in rags, and knew that His Majesty was suffering from this, so he bowed down and cried:

"The minister's rescue is late, let His Majesty suffer this ordeal, and the sin deserves death."

Liu Wei heard Min Gong crying sadly, thinking about the hardships he had suffered in a day, he couldn't stop the pantothenic acid in his heart at the moment, and he also wiped his tears on the side.

Zhao Ye looked at the two big men and cried when he said he was crying, especially Min Gong, who cried loudly, tears and snot flowed together. I sighed in my heart.

"General Min is not in a hurry to cry, or someone to inform Lord Wang to welcome the holy car, and it is the first thing to let His Majesty return the capital first."

Hearing Zhao Ye's words, Min Gong immediately stopped crying, wiped his face indiscriminately, and said, "What did King Chen Liusay extremely right? Your Majesty is still resting for a while in Cui Zhuang, and I will go to inform Lord Wang. ”

Now that the rebellion in the palace has been pacified, the Queen Mother is now in control of the imperial city. At this time, Liu Wei returned to his heart like an arrow, and said: "I should return to Beijing as soon as possible." ”

His Majesty spoke, Min Gong only had one horse, and there were no three people sitting on it, and he was not worried that the emperor would take Chen Liuwang and the two back to the imperial city alone, so he was worried at the moment.

Cui Yi came out and said: "I still have a thin horse on the village, if you don't dislike it, General Min can ride it away." ”

Min Gong was overjoyed when he heard this: "It's good to have a horse, Master Cui Zhuang, another day Min will return you a strong horse, no, ten." ”

Cui Yi naturally wouldn't agree, and it was rare to be courteous to today's son, and said: "If Your Majesty can return to the capital as soon as possible, it will be my great luck." I have only a bad horse, and I can only do my best, how dare I get it back. ”

Liu Wei took a deep look at Cui Yi: "Master Cui, I will never forget the grace of today's meal." ”

Cui Yi frowned when he heard this, so he said a bunch of unnutritious words before retreating.
