……

The edict of the Beizhen Fusi Prison really lived up to its name, the aisles were twisted and turned, the water and fire were invulnerable, and the atmosphere of the plague filled the entire prison, and the sun and moon were not seen in the prison all the year round, only the dim light on the walls illuminated the thick iron bars of each cell, glowing with a terrible black light.

Strange or terrible cries echoed, and the bone-chilling cold made Wen Yang tighten his cloak and quicken his pace, alarming the rats in the corners of the wall, squeaking and scurrying all over the ground.

"Ancestor, why are you here in person?" The guards carried lanterns in front of them, leading Wen Yang through the gloomy and narrow corridors.

"One more person, one more risk." Wenyang Road.

"It's got to be you! How many men can't see this scene, and they are so scared that their legs are weak and incontinent. The guard held a lantern: "Please come here." ”

The guard's name is Chu Feng, who was originally a small flag of Jinyiwei, the old mother of the family was seriously ill and did not have enough medicine bills, so she was blasted out of the medical hall, Princess Wenyang's car happened to pass by, knocking the confused Chu Feng into the air, Wen Yang hurriedly ordered someone to help him up and ask about the ins and outs.

Wen Yang was very surprised when he heard this, because Chu Feng could have used his identity to bully the pharmacy shopkeeper, not to mention a pair of medicines, it was just to knock them hard and let them close their doors and close their businesses, but he didn't do that, he didn't even show his identity, he just left silently and went back to raise money.

Wen Yang gave him a silver ticket of fifty taels and asked him to take it to see the injury, Chu Feng knelt on the ground and kowtowed with gratitude, dragged the bleeding injured leg back to the hospital, and bought medicine for his mother first.

Because the treatment was not timely, the leg bones were still limping after healing, and he was left with a lifelong disability, so he was arranged by his boss to guard the prisoners in the Imperial Prison.

Princess Wenyang found him, and she found the right person.

Chu Feng led her into the innermost small room in the corner, which was relatively dry, many times stronger than the damp and rancid cells outside.

"Don't worry, the people you care about, the little ones will do their best to preserve." Chu Feng said, took the key to open the iron lock of the cell door, and the iron chain fell to the ground, and then consciously retreated into the distance.

Wen Yang walked into the cell with his dress, and saw Zhou Xichen leaning against the wall, sitting on a pile of firewood and grass and meditating quietly, like an immortal who fell into the mud, which seemed incompatible with this hell on earth full of ghosts.

It took a while to open his eyes, thinking that it was the person who interrogated him, but when he looked closely, it was Wen Yang standing in front of him.

"Your Highness the Princess?" He was a little surprised.

Wen Yang saw that he was still unhurried, and an inexplicable annoyance rose in his heart: "What are you doing?" ”

"Someone next door is sick and dead, and the poor road is overdoing it for him." Zhou Xichen said.

Wen Yang took a deep breath and asked him, "What happened?" ”

Zhou Xichen said: "Your Majesty announced that the poor Dao entered the palace to help the beggars, and the poor Dao said that he watched the sky last night, and he was confused and guarded, and the emperor had a great omen, so he reminded him not to summon King Yong into the palace." Your Majesty was furious and immediately sent me to prison. ”

Wen Yang's eyebrows jumped: "Who told you to say these words, Elder Zheng Ge?" ”

Zhou Xichen shook his head resolutely: "No." ”

"Why are you making your own claims?" Wen Yang's eyes were red in a hurry: "Framing the prince and separating the flesh and blood of the Heavenly Family, do you know how much of a crime this is?" ”

Zhou Xichen was a little at a loss, and after a long time, he only said: "I'm sorry." ”

"Does an apology work?!" Wen Yang yelled at him, tilted his head and breathed a sigh of relief before saying, "I know that you are for my imperial brother, but you are too anxious." ”

Zhou Xichen looked innocent: "I'm not here for His Royal Highness King Qi." ”

"What...... What? Wen Yang looked up.

Zhou Xichen explained: "Actually, I don't know how to help at all, it's just a small trick to get close to His Majesty, what I'm really good at is watching the sky." ”

Wen Yang: "Huh? ”

Zhou Xichen's expression became even more innocent: "I have entered the palace to face the saint countless times, but this time I told the truth. ”

He seemed to suddenly understand something: "It seems that telling the truth is going to be imprisoned......"

Wen Yang was almost laughed at by him, and scolded him with hatred: "My father is in trouble, what does it have to do with you?" The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty all knew that the dragon body was uncertain, only you told him the truth, who would you arrest if you didn't arrest you? ”

Zhou Xichen said very seriously: "He gave me a high-ranking official Houlu, let me get rid of Wu Jun as I wished, and I gave him a chance to tell him the way to crack it, and we will settle it." As for whether to listen or not, it doesn't matter if I say it. ”

Wenyang: ......

Did this man just come out of the mountains? Why so naïve! Well, he did seem to have just come out of the mountains......

After asking about the cause and effect, Wen Yang told the guards to take care of Zhou Xichen, and left the edict in a hurry.

With the sentence "Yingfu guards his heart", there is no way to stop King Yong from entering the palace, after all, he came back to mourn his biological mother.

Wen Yang's heart was a mess and he had no clue.

King Yong finally returned to Beijing before the introduction of Concubine Duan, and hundreds of civil and military officials, internal and external women entered the palace in plain clothes to sacrifice.

King Yong held the coffin and cried, crying a few dead and alive, so that the people present hung their heads one after another, their eyes could not bear to look, the emperor closed his eyes tightly, suddenly pale, leaned back, fainted.

Fortunately, there was a throne to support, and the dizziness was not too conspicuous, and the eunuchs on the left and right urgently helped him back to the Qianqing Palace, and the funeral was carried out as usual.

……

Father, mother, eldest brother and sister-in-law all went to the palace to attend the funeral. Huai'an completely herded the sheep and ran to the sweet potato field in the suburbs with the moon Sahuan'er.

Qi'er Mountain has expanded five experimental fields for seedling cultivation and selection, and Huai'an has recently dreamed of sweet potato vines all over the mountains. Sweet potatoes have entered thousands of households, and there are no more homeless people who have left their hometowns and died of hunger.

When I arrived at Qi'er Mountain, Huai'an slapped his thigh, it's bad!

The food that his father and mother asked him to bring to his husband were all forgotten by him at home. So he sent He Wen and He Wu to hurry back to get it, it only took two hours to go back and forth, and it was a big deal to go home later.

After watching the potato seedlings, Zhang Dai was idle, threw a piece of caramel in his mouth, and sat on the ridge to rest.

Huai'an was afraid that he would have high blood pressure and diabetes, so he proposed, "Sir, let's climb the mountain." ”

Zhang Dai glanced at him and said flatly, "Oh." ”

Qi'er Mountain is a continuous mountain range, Huai'an wanted to accompany the old man to refresh his muscles and bones, who expected this guy to breathe non-stop, turning over two mountains in a row, the tired Huai'an almost used his hands and feet at the same time, and he stuck out his tongue and panted like a puppy.

"You kid, can you?" Zhang Dai's face was not red and his heart was not beating, and he laughed at him with a relaxed face.

"My dad said that men can't say no." Huai'an leaned against a big tree to rest for a while: "Come again!" ”

Zhang Dai teased on his lips, and couldn't help but be impressed by him in his heart, the little young master who looked pampered was actually not bad.

"Let's rest." Zhang Dai said: "I walk in the fields all year round, and there are not many people who can keep up with my pace. ”

"You're just short legs, your whole family has short legs!" Huai'an glared at him, and fell on a boulder, greedily breathing in the mountain air.

"Sir, why don't you want to be an official?" Huai'an asked.

"There is no enlightened lord, there is no virtuous minister in the country, I have no power to change the way of the world, rather than wasting time in the smoky officialdom, it is better to do something practical for the people in the field." There was no one around, Zhang Dai said bluntly: "The scholars live high on the altar and talk about 'great governance', but they don't know that the great governance in the hearts of the people is just full of food." ”

"Well said!" Huai'an applauded vigorously.

Zhang Dai rolled his eyes: "Do you understand?" ”

"Don't underestimate me." Huai'an stood on the stone, raised his head and shouted: "The country is people-oriented, and the people are food-oriented!" ”

The voice echoed in the valley, Zhang Dai's cloudy eyes glowed, and he laughed loudly: "You kid, it's really interesting!" ”

Huai'an was smiling proudly, and suddenly locked his eyes into the distance, and his smile was lost.

"Come down, don't fall." Zhang Dai said that he was going to help him.

"Look!" Huai'an pointed into the distance.

Zhang Dai climbed the boulder and saw a large army stationed on the open plain in the distance, and the soldiers were densely packed like ants, as if they were pulling out the camp and demolishing the village, and the whole army was ready to go.

"Where is that?" Huai'an asked.

"I don't look like I am dressed like a person from the Central Plains...... Zhang Dai said: "Mobei!" ”

As soon as these words came out, Huai'an's hair suddenly rose, and the two of them did not dare to delay, and took a shortcut and ran back to Qi'er Village.

"The Mobei Army quietly hit the outskirts of Beijing, why is there no military report at the border pass?" Huai'an asked as he ran.

"I don't know!" Zhang Dai couldn't answer him, so he just pulled him to run.

"I can't run anymore...... Huai'an felt like he was going to die.

Zhang Dai didn't say a word, picked him up and continued to run.

If it is really the Mobei army that invades the interior, the capital is in an emergency, the city gate will be closed soon, and Huai'an must rush back to the city immediately.

"What are you going to do when I'm gone? The Mobei people will come to burn and loot. Huai'an said.

"If you stay here, they'll come too!" Zhang Dai didn't say much nonsense, turned out a blanket, filled a bag full of sweet potatoes, and asked Huai'an to take it back to the city. Keep a backup in case the Mobei people enter the village and destroy the potato fields.

Coincidentally, He Wen and He Wu took a carriage back to the city to pick up things, and the neighbor kindly brought a donkey - the only donkey in the village.

Huai'an watched the little donkey chewing the grass slowly, and was so anxious that he was about to catch fire, and rode the donkey back to the city, it was dark.

The moon circled the donkey with a haughty step, showing it her long, toned and sexy legs, only to be kicked by the donkey and take two steps back with a snort.

"Moon!" Huai'an grabbed his reins and tied the sweet potato bag to its body: "Raise a horse for a thousand days, use a horse for a while, it's all up to you!" ”

He turned over and got on the horse, and pinched the horse's belly: "Drive!" ”

The front hooves soared into the air, hit the ground, and rushed out like arrows.

The moon walked amazingly, faster than any horse that Huai'an had ever ridden, and at this speed, he could enter the city in less than half an hour. Leaving Qi'er Mountain, he was about to approach the flat and wide official road, but Huai'an suddenly pulled the reins.

The horse's hooves took off again, stopping in circles. Huai'an turned his horse's head and ran towards the camp of Zhou Yue's garrison.

He can't leave Mr. Zhang and the villagers of Qi'er Mountain behind, they just have a home, land and food, and he can't die without help!

Chapter 121

The Zhangxugao Yuanmen with the military flag of the word "Zhou" appeared in front of him, and a glimmer of hope rose with peace of mind, and he rushed straight to the Yuanmen.

"Stop!" The gatekeeper screamed, and two sharp horse-resisting stakes were pushed into the middle.

Huai'an didn't have time to take the reins, and the moon neighed, and he raised his front hooves, leaped hard, and jumped over the horse rejection stake. If Huai'an hadn't grasped it tightly, he would have been thrown to the ground by it.

The soldier shouted, "Stop him!" ”

The guards standing on the wall of the barracks bent their bows and arrows one after another, and aimed them at one man and one horse in unison, and Huai'an took the reins and made two turns in place.

The scout scolded, "Whose child? Don't get off your horse yet! ”

"I have urgent information to see General Zhou!" Huai'an rode on the horse and refused to come down: "Go and report quickly, it's too late!" ”

"Is General Zhou what you want to see? Dismount quickly, if you weren't a child, you would have released your arrows. The scout shouted.

"Who's making a fuss here?!"

With a shout, everyone turned back. Huai'an saw three lieutenant generals in armor and a group of personal guards, surrounded by a general walking towards him.

"General, someone trespassed into the barracks." Scout said.
