Extra: Shen Yu (5)
Shen Yu listened on the sidelines, and probably understood a little in his heart, I am afraid that there is civil strife in Beidi Kingdom. "Dark clouds, don't worry, no matter what happens, I will be by your side."
As he spoke, Shen Yu turned his head to look at the Balu lying on the ground, "You'd better tell everything you know, otherwise, I'll let you know what life is better than death." β
That Balu was a rough and honest man, and when he saw Shen Yu like this, he stiffened his neck and refused to speak. Where does Shen Yu care about those? He went to the side with Balu directly, and after a short time, he came back satisfied. "Wuyun, I've already asked all of them, it was your general of Beidi who staged a coup d'Γ©tat, and he imprisoned your father and brother. Balu came here to arrest you or kill you outright. β
The lord of the Beidi Kingdom was the royal family of the original Northern Yuan, and when the Northern Yuan coup d'Γ©tat, Wuyun's father fled with his family and cronies, guards, and others. After hiding for a few years, it happened that the Northern Yuan was destroyed by Shen Hongjun and others. Then, Wuyun's father took these people to move eastward, conquered many small tribes, and occupied the territory that should have belonged to the Rakshasa Kingdom, and established Beidi.
Beidi came from the Northern Yuan Dynasty, so many customs are also inherited. One of them is the inheritance of property, which does not have to be a man, and daughters also have rights. And Wuyun, the princess, can rightfully inherit the throne.
So although there are still several princes in the king of Beidi who have been arrested or killed at this time, as long as the dark clouds are still there, the general will not be able to take over the throne logically. This is also the main reason why he sent someone to assassinate Dark Cloud. The royal family had to be wiped out before the general could be elected as the new king.
Of course, Wuyun knew about this custom, and at this moment she was very worried about the safety of her father and brother, "I want to go back and see, my parents and relatives are suffering, and I can't hide here alone to enjoy happiness." β
Shen Yu nodded, "It's natural, but you can't go back like this, what's the use of going back alone?" You wait for me, wait for me to gather the soldiers and horses, and go back with you. β
The Beidi coup d'Γ©tat is not a good thing for Da Zhou. The two countries have just stopped fighting, and the people have been able to recuperate, if Beidi is really seized the throne by that great general at this time, I am afraid that it will set off a bloody storm again. Moreover, there is a relationship between dark clouds, and Shen Yu categorically can't watch Beidi fall into the hands of that great general.
"Let's go, let's go back to Zhou City together, and when I arrange some things, we will take someone to the Beidi Royal Court." Shen Yu stretched out his hand, pulled over the dark clouds, and comforted him softly.
Then he turned his head, but Shen Yu didn't blink his eyes, and quickly shot to kill these two dozen people. "These people are useless to keep, and they have to bother to take care of them." After Shen Yu finished speaking, he pulled the dark clouds, got back on the horse, and galloped all the way back to the state city.
After returning to the city, Shen Yu quickly ordered to mobilize 50,000 soldiers and horses to go with him to the royal court in Beidi. In addition, Shen Yu wrote another letter and sent someone to the capital quickly, and the situation here must be known to Emperor Zhaowu.
Things are settled, and when the army is assembled, it is time to set off. Shen Yu returned to the mansion and couldn't help but feel distressed when he saw the dark clouds still worried, "Don't be afraid, the matter is definitely not as serious as that Balu said." Don't you know what your own father is capable of? If he was able to create a new country, didn't he have any people at his disposal? That great general, it is impossible to kill them in the short term, and once he kills the monarch of Beidi, it will be even more difficult to ascend to the throne. β
Wuyun sat by the window and looked up at Shen Yu, "Thank you, you are willing to do this for me." "As a princess of Beidi, Wuyun is deeply loved by the king of Beidi, and it is not in vain. She is smart and skilled, and her sensitivity to government affairs is even better than that of her three older brothers. She understands what Shen Yu said, but as a daughter and a younger sister, how can she not worry about her relatives?
For the sake of the dark clouds, Shen Yu mobilized troops and horses to rescue without the approval of the Great Zhou Emperor. Such a move made Wuyun's heart simply moved.
"Stupid words, do you and I still need to say thank you now? Is your father, my father, and your brother, also my brother? Okay, don't think about this, you still think about it, how many people in the Beidi Kingdom are loyal to your father? These people, we must contact them in advance, they are the key to rescuing your father. β
Shen Yu hugged the dark cloud, and gently patted the back of the dark cloud with his big hand, at this moment, the dark cloud needed Shen Yu's arms.
The two of them talked in a low voice about some things in the Beidi Imperial Court, and Shen Yu quickly made a judgment in his heart, and then based on these, he determined what they were about to do.
At this time, a maidservant girl outside the door said, "Governor, someone outside has come to look for the dark cloud girl, saying that it is the girl's girl." β
Shen Yu turned his head to look at the dark clouds, but the dark clouds stood up when they heard the words, "It must be my people who are here, they must be more aware of domestic affairs." Let them in, I'll have to ask. β
So, Shen Yu asked people to bring people outside the door in, and then met people in the main hall of the front yard of the Governor's Mansion. Unexpectedly, there were a lot of people here, there were more than a dozen. When Wuyun saw the visitor, he couldn't help but be a little excited, "Jiya, how did you find me?" β
"Princess, you've always been thinking about Marshal Shen who came to find Da Zhou, we know. I just didn't expect the princess to sneak away and not take us. Later, General Getu suddenly led his soldiers to besiege the royal court, and a few of us knew that something was wrong, so we sneaked away. General Getu was so focused on dealing with the three princes that he didn't notice us slaves at the time, so we escaped without incident. β
"We made our way to this state city, and then found the inn where the princess stayed. But they said that the princess was no longer there, and that she had moved to the governor's mansion, so we took it. The girl, Jiya, said with tears in her eyes.
"Princess, when we left, the general had already imprisoned His Majesty and the three princes, and was putting up notices to arrest the families of the three princes. The eldest prince's wife fled with her son, and now the general is arresting him everywhere. Princess, think of a way to go back and save people. A girl beside Ji Ya also cried at this time.
"Don't cry, I've already consulted with the Governor, and I'll leave for the day after tomorrow at the latest. A few of you, you're familiar with the royal court, so you can help me do some things. The dark clouds were not used to seeing women crying, so he hurried to find something for them to do, so that they would not stop crying.
"You guys, turn around now, take my handwritten letters, and give them to these people. When the time comes, let them cooperate with my actions and capture the general in one fell swoop. After the dark cloud finished speaking, he immediately went to write a letter. After a short time, the letter was written, and the dark clouds handed it to some of the maidservants.
Shen Yu also called a few cronies at this time, asking them to escort these handmaidens to return immediately. "Be careful not to be discovered." Shen Yu admonished.
Of the dozen or so servants, eight more went away at once, and the remaining three were left behind by the dark clouds.
After two days of preparation, the army has been assembled, and there is no letter from the capital at this time, but Shen Yu can't wait. So he led a group of soldiers to set off from Linjiang Prefecture and marched towards the royal court of Beidi.
The royal court of Beidi is on the grassland in the north of the Great Zhou Dynasty, almost two thousand miles away from Linjiang Prefecture. Shen Yu and the others traveled all the way, and it took more than half a month to get close to the royal court of Beidi, a place called Mulantu City.
The soldiers led by Shen Yu had dispersed two or three days earlier, they disguised themselves as ordinary people from Beidi, and then flocked to the city of Mulantu from everywhere. Shen Yu and Wuyun brought nearly 2,000 people, pretending to be merchants, and also lived in the city of Mulantu.
Although it is said to be a royal court, it is actually a large area of tent settlement. It's just a little more spacious and bigger than where ordinary people live. Everywhere in the city, there are all kinds of tents, some of which are very large, and they are not inferior to the houses of Da Zhou.
Shen Yu and the others found a place to stay, and in the evening, the dark clouds, accompanied by Shen Yu, came to a luxury tent in the city, which was the residence of the Prime Minister of Beidi Bayin.
Bayin was sitting in the felt tent reading a book, and although he had a book in his hand, his mind was not on the book at all.
Suddenly, two people flashed in from outside, Bayin couldn't help but be shocked, and hurriedly asked, "Who is it?" β
"Uncle Bayin, it's me, Dark Cloud." The dark clouds hurriedly spoke.
When Bayin heard that it was a dark cloud, he relaxed, "Princess, why did you come back at this time?" Your Majesty and the three princes have been imprisoned. I heard a few days ago that Your Majesty is not very well, and I am afraid that he is seriously ill. β
As soon as Wuyun heard this, he couldn't help but shed tears, "It's all my fault, I'm late." β
"Dark clouds, don't talk about these things yet, as long as the people are still there, it's not too late. Let's get down to business first, and we'll talk about the rest until we rescue your father. Shen Yu hurriedly said loudly.
Bayin looked at the young man opposite, don't look at this person at this time he is just dressed in ordinary clothes, but he has an innate momentum and majesty on his body, which is definitely not something that clothes can cover. "Princess, who is this?"
Wuyun turned his head to look at Shen Yu, "He is the Metropolitan Governor of Great Zhou, and he is here to help me quell the rebellion this time." β
Bayin glanced at Wuyun and Shen Yu for a few moments, and then understood something, this Dadu Governor should be the jade-faced Shura of Da Zhou. Moreover, looking at this appearance, it seems that the relationship between Princess Wuyun and this metropolitan governor is not very simple. Prime Minister Bayin is happy in his heart, this girl with dark clouds has a really good vision.
