It turned out that the man in black who was killed was named Yuan De, the younger brother of Yuan Wen, the man in white, and the two were inseparable from fighting, eating, sleeping, and even going to the thatched house. After being cornered, he was taken in as a disciple by Qin Xianggong, and it took six months to conduct a carpet search within a radius of more than 300 miles, and finally found Murong Yan's hiding place. I wanted to capture him alive and ask for merit and reward in front of Qin Xianggong, but I don't know how to combine the two swords with Murong Yan is so powerful that my younger brother Yuan De died tragically. Yuan Wen was shocked and angry, and did not dare to act rashly, so he informed Qin Xianggong of He Lai's hiding place, and added fuel and vinegar to say that He Lai was recruiting troops and horses, and was ready to join forces with Wanyan Zongbi to implement the internal and external agreement of our Great Song Dynasty to annihilate it. Qin Xianggong was taken aback when he heard this, and hurriedly submitted Yuan Wenzhi's confession to the emperor Zhao Go.

Zhao thought about Lao Tzu being chased everywhere by the Mongolian Tartars, but why did you come from my Great Song Dynasty people but betrayed the country and surrendered to the enemy, he couldn't help but be furious, and quickly recalled Yuwen Xuzhong, who was fighting with the Jin army, and ordered him to arrest He Lai, escort him back to Beijing to ask for the crime.

After receiving the holy decree, Yuwen was angry and did not fight in one place, the emperor made a mistake again, and he fought with the Jin army to a stalemate, at this time, the efforts before the collection of troops were abandoned, and besides, he knew a little bit about what kind of person he had, and now he resigned and did not ask about the anecdotes of the court, and the emperor listened to the slander but wanted to kill them all, which was really chilling. Thinking of this, he put aside the holy decree, did not retreat but advanced, after a fierce battle, the Jin army finally could not resist, retreated again and again, Yuwen Xuzhong took advantage of the victory to pursue, and recovered a lot of lost ground. At this time, Zhao Gou came to urge again, and ordered him to quickly arrest He Lai and return to Beijing. Yuwen Xuzhong ignored it, led the Song army to take advantage of the victory, the Jin army lost his armor and collapsed into an army, he was about to encircle and annihilate, at this time, Zhao Gou's third holy decree came again, the words were fierce and had the intention of asking guilt, in the face of such a faint monarch, Yuwen Xuzhong looked up to the sky and sighed, gave up the victory at his fingertips, and had to go to Chenjiazhuang.

Hearing the gossip sent by friends in the rivers and lakes, the emperor sent Yuwen Xuzhong to arrest He Lai on the charge of treason, and he was rushing to Chenjiazhuang. Wei Chigong knew that the situation was serious, and where did the anxious report come from. Why should I tell me, I have resigned from my official position, I have lived in seclusion in Chenjiazhuang for several months, and I have never had a grudge against anyone, what reason does the emperor have for arresting me? Don't talk about hearsay. Wei Chigong sighed secretly, so he had to send someone to strictly inspect it, and as soon as there was a situation, he came to report it quickly, passing by Liu Shiyan's wing, and saw that she was stretching her arms and legs, and couldn't help but be curious, and learned that she was practicing after inquiry.

This bending over and stretching out the legs is a practice? It is really unheard of. Murong Yan smiled but did not answer, adjusted her breathing, stretched her arms straight and stretched, her legs crossed both sides, and made a word horse movement, and then, she leaned back until she lay on the ground, her body was soft and boneless, which surprised Wei Chi Gong, and was about to praise, when she suddenly saw Murong Yan frowning, supporting her hands, her body turned over and got up, covering her mouth with her right hand, protecting her abdomen with her left hand, and running outside the house to vomit, her ruddy face became a little pale. Wei Chigong was taken aback, and hurriedly asked Murong Hong to ask Lang Zhong to diagnose and treat his wife's pulse, and at the same time notify the old lady.

Hearing that Yan'er was suddenly infected with a disease, Zhang Qin and He were afraid to put down their busy work and rushed to check. Murong Yan told her mother-in-law that she had been suffering from nausea and vomiting for some reason recently, she liked to eat sour dates, and asked about menstruation, but she had not come for two months. Zhang Qin is a person who has come over, and when he heard it, he understood seven or eight points, and when he saw Lang Zhong hugging his fists, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and asked Lang Zhong to prescribe some fetal medicine to take, but Zhang Qin stopped him with a smile. This medicine supplement is not as good as food supplement, it is a three-point poison, it is advisable not to eat, it is better to eat less, and she volunteered to take care of her daughter-in-law's diet, and at the same time take care of her daily life. The heavy responsibility of guarding the family undoubtedly fell on Wei Chigong. Wei Chigong is upright and righteous, meticulous in handling things, and his family is safe.

After a few days, He Lai and Wei Chi Gong went to the town to purchase, and happened to encounter Song soldiers entering the city, and in the resistance, Song soldiers fell countless times, Yuwen shouted loudly: "There is an elderly mother on He Taishi, and a toddler doll below, why don't you consider their safety, but you want to go your own way here?" but never mentioned the crime of rebellion that Zhao Gou said.

He Lai was shocked when he heard this, put his sword into the sheath, and said, "If you descend, can you release my wife and children?"

Yu Wenxu replied: "This matter has nothing to do with anyone else!"

He Lai sighed, threw his sword to Wei Chi Gong, and said, "Okay!

Where did he come from, there is a lady Murong Yan, her husband is uncertain about life and death this time, and his wife is in her prime, so she is afraid of mistaking her future, so she is taking a leave of absence. After that, he remarried on his own and never had a dispute. There is no basis for empty words, and I voluntarily set up this article to make an appointment. May after the lady leaves, recomb the cicada sideburns, sweep the eyebrows beautifully, skillfully show a slender posture, and select the lord of high-ranking officials. Resolve grievances and release knots, and don't hate each other. One parting and two wide, each life rejoices. Contractor: Where?

Then he handed it over to Yu Chigong, and wept and said: "You go back and tell Murong Yan, don't seek revenge, live or die, let it be fate!"

Song Bing rushed up and tied him up. Yuwen said in this way: "Master He, don't worry and be sad, the emperor said that you rebelled in Chenjiazhuang, and when you meet the emperor, just make your words clear." ”

"What nonsense! How can I have the heart to rebel? Please let the emperor see it!"

Yuwen waved his hand in the void, no longer said more, afraid that the night would be long and dreamy, and immediately escorted the prisoner back to Beijing.

In the evening, Wei Chigong hurriedly came to report with a solemn face, his voice trembled, and he was furious when he heard that his husband had been arrested on charges of treason. Wei Chigong handed over the letter of resignation, and at the same time persuaded him with kind words, and now the plan, the wife should also consider the future of the child, and remarrying is the best policy.

This letter of divorce is equivalent to a modern divorce certificate. Zhang Qin cried loudly, since his son is like this, he must have put life and death out of the way. If it weren't for her grandchildren, she would have died in the first place.

Holding this letter of resignation, Murong Yan's hands were trembling, tears fell on the paper, and when she heard Wei Chigong say the word "remarriage", she suddenly tore the letter of resignation into pieces, raised her hazy teary eyes, gritted her teeth and said: "I don't regret my family in this life! Even if I am broken, I must save my husband!" As soon as the words fell, she ordered someone to take care of it up and down, and she was about to set off to the capital to rescue her husband.

Zhang Qin saw her going alone, and couldn't help but be anxious: "Yan'er, I'll go with you!"

Murong Yan said: "Mother-in-law, don't worry, I have my own opinions." The rulers will return safely. ”

Looking at her belly, which was already slightly bulging, where could Zhang Qin put her mind at ease, saying that she was also the "No. 1 tailor in the world" personally appointed by the emperor, with this signboard, begging him to keep people under the knife, whether it works or not, one more person will have one more helper, and it will always be beneficial. In addition, Yan'er is pregnant, and she also needs someone to take care of her on weekdays, so they can take care of each other when they go together. He was afraid to think about it, so he persuaded Murong Yan with Zhang Qin.

Wei Chigong said: "What the old lady said is very true, go, go! I am at home, you can rest assured!"

Murong Yan had no choice but to nod her head in agreement, Xu remembered that there were some things that had not yet been explained, and said: "Bother Daddy, take care of Le'er and Xin'er, and when I come back, we will reunite again." ”

He was afraid to sigh, and he was quite worried in his heart: "Don't worry, you must pay attention to safety......"

After cleaning up, Murong Hong drove Zhang Qin and Murong Yan in a carriage and ran bumpy, along the way, but there were countless people fleeing, wailing, and looking for death and life.

This scene really surprised Zhang Qin. Coming from the peace and prosperity of modern times, she saw this shocking scene, which made her cry.

Hearing her mother-in-law sobbing, Murong Yan hurriedly stepped forward to ask, Zhang Qin stopped the car and sighed again and again, life is easy, life is easy, life is really not easy. As she was talking, Murong Yan quickly got out of the carriage, held on to the willow tree on the side of the road, and vomited.

Zhang Qin hurriedly said: "Yan'er, wait a minute, Xiaohong, hurry up and invite Langzhong." ”

Murong Yan shook her head lightly and said, "This place is deserted, and I am afraid that there will be rogues. The slave family is fine, it is still important to hurry. ”

So Zhang Qin asked Murong Hong to pick up the road and walk to minimize the bumps, but fortunately, in previous years, Murong Yan followed Murong Tianshan to the north and south, and the road was quite familiar, so that he would not get lost. Murong Yan's pregnancy reaction was very severe, vomiting did not stop, and her appetite was lost, Zhang Qin took care of her, stopped and stopped, although it took a lot of time, she finally arrived at Ying Tianfu smoothly.

Murong Yan used silver to buy off the officials and jailers, and finally saw her husband in chains, and the couple couldn't help shaking hands and crying bitterly. I saw that He Lai was thin, haggard, and the cold winter had come, but his clothes were thin, and he was shivering from the cold.

"Official!"

Hearing this call, He Lai immediately burst into tears, just shouted "lady", and suddenly realized that now she is a stranger to herself, brushed her sleeves and wiped her tears, turned around, gritted her teeth and said ruthlessly: "You...... Who are you and what are you doing here?"

Outside the cell, Murong Yan knelt down with a "poof", and burst into tears: "The letter of resignation has been destroyed, and I beg the official to take back my life." You and I are husband and wife, and if the husband is in trouble, how can the wife survive in secret? If the official insists on writing a letter of resignation, the slave family will run headlong into the street and die when they go out. ”

"Lady, ......" He looked up to the sky and sighed.

"Officials don't have to be sad, there is no endless way, there will be a way to get you out of prison. So saying, she handed over her clothes and some food, and told him to hold on a little longer, and then she went to ask the Holy God for mercy.

This matter is not trivial, why is he afraid that she will anger the saint by her words, and repeatedly instructed that if she is unsuccessful, do not be strong, take good care of yourself, take care of your father.

Speaking of this, Zhang Qin hurried over, holding a bowl of hot noodles in his hand, and walked to the cell door with trembling hands and feet, and tears flowed before he could speak.

"Mother!"

He came from this call, which made Zhang Qin rush in an instant: "Son!"

"Mother, don't be sad, the child is fine. If the Holy One does not kill me, it shows that the emperor's grace is vast, and presumably in a few days, he will let me out, and then our family can be reunited. ”

Speaking of reunion, Zhang Qin wiped away her tears and showed a slight smile: "Son, tell you good news, Yan'er is happy!"

"Really?" Seeing that the wife on the side nodded and admitted, He Lai looked up to the sky and laughed, laughing and laughing, tears flowed down.

Murong Yan stared at it with tears in her eyes for a long time, and a thousand words were like a fish in her throat, but she couldn't say it for a while. Seeing that her husband had finished eating the noodles, the jailer urged him tightly, and before leaving, he said word by word: "Official, take care of yourself, you must wait for me." ”

"Be careful, don't be rash. If it's hopeless, don't force it, take my father and mother, take care of the children, and fly away. ”

"There are no officials in the world, how can there be joy to see? If there are officials, the slave family will never live alone!" After saying that, she turned around and wiped away her tears and went straight to the palace.

I saw a scene of singing, dancing, singing, singing and laughing in the palace, without the slightest sense of urgency of a big war, and the emperor was drinking and laughing there. At this time, I suddenly heard a rumor: Emperor Biyue asked to see him.

This emperor is the princess. In the third year of Zhenghe, the princess was renamed Emperor Ji, Zhao Gou was the ninth son of Zhao Zhe of Song Huizong, Emperor Mao De Zhao Fujin was the thirty-fourth daughter of Zhao Zhe, and Murong Yan was the daughter of Zhao Fujin, this relationship is equivalent to a niece going to see her uncle. Qin Xianggong on the side sneered: "Who do you think it is, it turns out that it's her!

Before the emperor could speak, you, a prime minister, made a lot of nonsense? All the ministers were stunned. Zhao Gouzheng was happy, waved his hand again and again after hearing this, and said without looking back: "I don't see ...... I don't see ......."

Someone whispered in his ear: "Your Majesty, isn't it right for the Emperor that Emperor Biyue came this time?" The Emperor might as well ...... her" It was none other than Yuwen Xuzhong who spoke. Although he captured He Laisheng alive, he knew in his heart what kind of person He Laisheng was. Thinking that he was about to die unjustly on a trumped-up charge like Xianggong Yue, I couldn't bear it in my heart. As long as the emperor is willing to summon Murong Yan, things will take a turn for the better, but it really doesn't work, then Murong Yan is not an ordinary person, and she doesn't dare to hold the emperor hostage to save her husband.

Zhao Gou's eyes lit up, yes, it was exactly such a plan when he decided to imprison him, and he almost forgot about the big thing. So he nodded and agreed, and let Murong Yan enter the palace to face the saint.

Murong Yan repeatedly instructed her mother-in-law and Xiaohong to wait outside the palace and not to act rashly. If you can't get out by yourself, there is a jailer surnamed Wang who can still understand people's favors, so you can let him go to the jailer of the same class, and then take the opportunity to rob the prison to save him.

"What about you?" asked Zhang Qin.

"If I can't get out, my mother-in-law doesn't have to wait for me. ”

"Why? Didn't he tell you not to act rashly? Do you want to hold the emperor hostage?" Speaking of this, Zhang Qin was also taken aback by his idea.

Murong Yan shook her head and sighed: "Holding the emperor hostage is really the next step, there is only one way to die, and the officials will also die." I will go and beg the emperor, if it doesn't work, the slave family will only die in front of him, or the emperor can have some sympathy, so as to release the official. ”

Zhang Qin was anxious, grabbed her, and pleaded again and again: "This is absolutely unacceptable! If you have three longs and two shorts, how can you live? How can I be willing! Promise me, no matter what happens, think of your husband and wife's affection, think about your children, and you must be calm and calm!"

Murong Yan wept and said, "Other than that, I'm afraid there is no other way." Please tell him where he came from, it is a blessing for a slave family to be able to be a husband and wife with him in this life, and if there is a fate in the next life, he will definitely be his wife. ”

Zhang Qin looked up to the sky and sighed, and was about to persuade him, when he suddenly heard a voice coming: "The emperor has a decree, Emperor Xuan Biyue will enter the palaceβ€”β€”"
