No. 1 Girl in the Imperial City
Chapter 223
Chapter 223 The old friend (one more)
In the evening, the envoys of the Qi tribe sent the four people to the Prince Regent's Mansion. Luo Junyao and Xie Yan went to meet the few people whom Xie Yan valued so much.
Xie Yan didn't isolate her from all things, as if it was a matter of course for her to participate in these matters that were crucial to both the Prince Regent's Palace and Dasheng.
Because this was taken for granted, even Luo Junyao himself didn't feel anything unusual.
She also didn't know that in Shangyonghuang City today, there is no headed mother of any family who can participate in these external affairs.
The man dominates the outside, the woman dominates the inside, this is the prevailing rule in Dasheng today.
The Qi people sent four men of different ages to the Prince Regent's Mansion, and the only thing they had in common was that they all looked very thin and vicissitudes.
The oldest among them seemed to have passed his destiny. He had gray hair at the temples, a thin figure, a sallow complexion, protruding cheekbones and deep-set eye sockets. He looked like he had been suffering from a long illness.
The other person looked about 34 five years old, with a solemn and solemn expression, and his body seemed to be in better shape.But his left sleeve was empty, and there were several hideous scars on his face.
If you ignore the scars on his face, it can be seen that he should have been a pretty handsome man when he was young, but now...
The remaining two are much younger, both in their 20s.
One of them had an obvious scar on his neck. Although he had already healed, Luo Junyao could still tell at a glance that the scar was not too old, and it should have been caused within two or three years.
There were obvious noises when he breathed, obviously he had some problems with his heart and lungs, and he was not in good health.
The other young man seemed to be the youngest at 22, and he didn't seem to have any scars on his body, but his complexion was pale, and black and blue blood vessels could almost be seen under the skin.
His body was even thinner than the other three, as if a gust of wind could blow him down.
"Ziying!" Cui Zheyu, who was following Xie Yan and Luo Junyao, couldn't help but yelled out when he saw the young man.
The young man blinked and slowly raised his head to look in the direction of the voice.
He looked at Cui Zheyu but didn't speak for a while, as if he was confirming who the person in front of him was.
After a while, he whispered: "Sister?" His voice was hoarse and difficult, as if he didn't speak often.
Cui Zheyu finally couldn't help but rushed over, hugged the young man and whimpered, "You...how did you become like this? They, how did they torture you? You..."
Luo Junyao was a little surprised, Cui Ziying had been missing for nearly ten years.It is said that he is only two years younger than Cui Zheyu, and he should be 26 this year.The young man in front of him seemed to be several years younger than his actual age.
The young man raised his hand to hug Cui Zheyu to comfort him, but he stopped when he raised his hand halfway.
He slowly put down his hand and said in a low voice, "Sister, I'm fine, don't cry."
It's okay not to listen to this, but Cui Zheyu cried even louder after hearing this.
How can it be good?
Her younger brother was only in his teens back then, and he was already a rare opponent in the army. He had a bright and bold personality and a strong body. He was nicknamed a little calf by his parents.Where is it so pale and thin like now, as if it will fall down when the wind blows?
The young man was a little at a loss, and looked at other people for help.
Xie Yan said in a deep voice: "Come here, find a quiet place for them."
"Yes, my lord." Duo Ying appeared at the door and said respectfully.
"..." I want you to tell her not to cry.
Die Ying took the siblings who had just met out, and the study returned to silence.
Only then did Xie Yan walk up to the older man, he cupped his hands and bowed solemnly, saying: "Sir, you have worked hard."
The man was stunned, and after a while he seemed to come back to his senses and hastily stretched out his hands to hold Xie Yan's arms, "Is...His Royal Highness King Chu?"
"Yes."
The man looked at Xie Yan carefully, nodded and said: "I haven't seen you for many years, Your Highness has changed a lot."
Xie Yan said: "Before uncle and brother died, I was always worried about Mr. Song. These years...Mr. Song has suffered." This man is Song Wenyue who sneaked into the remnant of the Bai family army in 17 years and disappeared a year later.
Song Wenyue shook his head and said: "The King of Chu is serious. Unfortunately, I accidentally exposed my identity and disappointed His Majesty." The Majesty he was talking about was Emperor Gaozu Taining.
Xie Yan said: "If it weren't for the help of the master, I am afraid that it would not have been so easy to drive the remnants of the Bai family out of the Central Plains."
Song Wenyue sighed and said, "It's a pity that they left the Central Plains."
Their original plan was to completely block the remnants of the Bai family in the pass, but unfortunately there was a mistake in the end, which led to the remaining defeated soldiers fleeing outside the pass to join the Qi people who were going to meet them, leaving hidden dangers.
Xie Yan said: "It's up to people to plan things, and it's up to God to make things happen. It's good for the husband to come back."
Song Wenyue glanced at Luo Junyao who was standing aside, "I heard that the prince just got married a few days ago, and this is the princess?"
Xie Yan nodded and said: "Exactly, Yao Yao is the beloved daughter of General Luo."
The three of Song Wenyue saluted together, "I have seen the princess."
Luo Junyao hurriedly supported him, "You don't need to be too polite, everyone is a hero of Dasheng, it should be Jun Yao who thanked him."
The three of them were all prisoners in the Qi tribe, and even when they came to Shangyong, they were strictly guarded by the Qi tribe, so they had never heard of Luo Junyao's original reputation.
At this time, I just feel that although this princess looks young, she is smart and generous, and she is friendly and not spoiled. She is worthy of being the beloved daughter of General Luo.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Xie Yan's eyes fell on the middle-aged man.
The two looked at each other, Xie Yan said in a deep voice, "Ming Qiu, you are back."
The middle-aged man looked cold and serious, because the scars on his face looked a little hideous.
He looked at Xie Yan for a while, then smiled a little, nodded and said: "I'm back, I've worked hard for you these few years."
Xie Yan patted him on the shoulder and said, "Just come back, have a good night's rest, and then go home and have a look."
A gleam of joy flashed across Yu Mingqiu's face, and his expression froze as if he suddenly remembered something.
Xie Yan said: "She has been waiting for you, she will be very happy to know that you came back alive, and she won't mind."
Yu Mingqiu's eyes were slightly red, and he nodded heavily, "En."
Without waiting for Xie Yan to speak, the remaining young man knelt on one knee and said, "Your subordinate, Ye Feng, kowtow to the lord."
"Get up!" Xie Yan pulled him up, and said in a deep voice: "Rest well, and recover your body as soon as possible. I hope that you will still be the same Ye Feng as before, understand?"
Ye Feng's eyes were a little excited, but also a little sad, "Subordinate..."
Xie Yan said: "Miraculous doctor Xue is now in the palace, there is no injury that he can't heal."
Ye Feng nodded yes with red eyes.
The three of them were not in good condition, and Xie Yan didn't talk to them for too long, and soon the manager came over to report that the residences of these people had been arranged, and the doctor was waiting there.
The Prince Regent's Mansion has a small area, but it is not a big deal to arrange a few people to live temporarily.
Xie Yan took Luo Junyao's hand and personally sent the three of them to the residence, and turned and left after they settled down.
On the way back to Jingyuan, Xie Yan was a little silent.
Luo Junyao thought of what the doctor said just now, and felt a little heavy in his heart.
Spy operations have been a dangerous profession since ancient times, especially those who have to go deep into the enemy to perform the most important tasks, and they are different from those who only serve as eyeliners or idlers.
What happened to Cui Ziying is still unknown, but the bodies of these three people have suffered irreversible damage to varying degrees.
Song Wenyue is a literati, and his body is not considered strong. He suffered a lot of torture in the early years, and then he was imprisoned in a dark cage and his body collapsed long ago.
Yu Mingqiu had a broken arm, and his legs were broken in his early years.Although he was picked up, it was impossible to have any meticulous care, and the root cause of the disease still fell, and there were countless hidden injuries on his body.
And Ye Feng, he is the youngest, but he is not much better than the other two.
The most serious thing is that his lungs were seriously injured. If he can't be cured, let alone return to his previous appearance, he may only be so sick for the rest of his life.
Luo Junyao gently shook Xie Yan's hand, and said, "Don't worry, they will be fine with Doctor Xue here."
Xie Yan nodded, and stretched out his hand to embrace her in his arms.
Resting his head on her shoulder, as if trying to draw some energy from her.
Xie Yan said in a deep voice: "Mr. Song's whole family died because of the Bai family. Later, he joined his uncle and made outstanding achievements. He is a scholar, and he could have enjoyed wealth and honor in Shangyong'an with those achievements, but he resolutely sneaked into the remnant of the Bai family. In the army. Later, his whereabouts were unknown. A few years later, my brother and I learned from a captured general of the Bai family that he was recognized by a traitor who met him by chance. We all thought he had... "
Luo Junyao listened carefully, "Where is that Yu Mingqiu?"
Xie Yan said: "He used to be the commander of the hidden guards beside the emperor. In the fourth year of Yongtai, he was ordered by the emperor to bring twenty masters to kill Yu Chen and his followers who had defected to the enemy. Only three people who went with him came back. One, they failed to kill Yu Chen, but beheaded three defecting generals, and rescued the chief general of the North Route Army of the Zhen Guo Army who was seriously injured and captured by the Qi tribe. Yu Mingqiu fought a bloody road to escort them back, and killed The two generals of the Qi clan who intercepted and killed them, but he himself could not escape after staying behind."
Luo Junyao did not speak for a while, and led twenty people deep into the hinterland of the Qi tribe, beheaded three rebels and two generals of the Qi tribe, rescued a captured general Dasheng, and finally managed to fight his way back.Even if she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she could still imagine how brave Yu Mingqiu was many years ago.
But now, when he returned, he was covered in scars, his arms were broken and his face was disfigured.
Luo Junyao put his arms around Xie Yan, and patted him comfortingly.
Although Xie Yan didn't say it clearly, she could tell that his friendship with Yu Mingqiu back then should be unusual.
Xie Yan sighed lightly and said, "Ye Feng, like Leng Shuang, is a secret agent of the secret word camp. He was ordered by me to sneak into the royal court of the Qi clan to receive the news, but unfortunately... the news was sent out, but he didn't can come back."
"He's back now." Luo Junyao said softly.
Xie Yan slightly hooked the corner of his lower lip, nodded and said, "Yes, they are all back."
It's just that there are more people who never come back.
The battle between the two countries, in addition to the war on the surface, the battle behind the scenes is even more cruel.
In these years, Xie Yan executed many spies from the Qi clan and the Bai family. Similarly, Dasheng also sacrificed an unknown number of people.
Some of these people were people he knew and even missed.
But more is that he didn't even know his name, and even died quietly in a corner where no one knew.
If I have something urgent to go out in the morning, I will update a chapter first, and then I will add another chapter at [-] pm. (′`)
