【V021】Ninth brother is here(1/2)
"What did you say? The third brother... he was taken to the heavenly prison?" After hearing Wu San's words, the eldest aunt fell on the stool.
Wu Sanben did not intend to tell the Yu family about the bad news, but then he thought that Old Yu had not returned to the village for a long time, and the Yu family would go to the capital to ask sooner or later. Then he would still hear the news, so it would be better to give them a briefing first.
The uncle, aunt and Yu Feng brothers were all sitting in the main hall of Yu Wan's house. Xiao Tiedan took his sister to play, and Jiang and Yu Wan sat opposite Wu San.
I don’t know if it was Wu San’s illusion, but I always felt that there was murderous aura in my sister-in-law’s eyes.
He must have thought too much. My sister-in-law is such a weak lady. She will only be sad when she hears the bad news and will not want to kill anyone!
"Uncle Wu, let me talk." Yu Wan didn't want to talk about such a sad thing in front of her mother. Her parents had such a good relationship and her father was imprisoned. Her mother must be sadder than anyone else.
Wu San knew it and went to the small fish pond in Lianhua Village with Yu Wan.
"What happened to my father?" After losing others, Yu Wan asked straight to the point.
Wu San sighed: "Old Yu... was going to enter the palace and be granted a title today. He made great contributions and Your Majesty summoned him personally."
Yu Wan was slightly stunned: "My father made contributions?"
Yu Shaoqing talked about the situation in the army in an understatement, and did not mention the battle in the northwest. The man who returned from the village said a lot, but no one expected that the protagonist of the incident would be Yu Shaoqing from their village.
"Why didn't your father tell you? He made great contributions! Your father was originally a centurion in the Northwest Camp..." Wu San said briefly about the Huns' attack on the camp at night, "...20,000 people, less than a hundred people escaped. After entering the snow-capped mountains, we hid everywhere. Many brothers were shot to death by the Huns' arrows. One day and night, Daniu found General Xiao, who was seriously injured..."
Speaking of this, Wu San paused, "Big Niu is a good soldier, he died."
Yu Wan's eyes moved slightly.
Wu San kicked up and continued, "Old Yu asked the big bull to rescue General Xiao. General Xiao knew that he was unable to recover and gave all the medicine to his brothers. I went to treat the injuries of the brothers. I didn't hear what he said to Lao Yu, but the next day, Lao Yu began to take his brothers over the snow-capped mountains. Lao Yu said, "We must go to Youzhou. I thought Lao Yu was going to take his brothers to join the Youzhou army. When he saw him handing something to General Pang Ren, I guessed that General Xiao might have told him what he told him. As expected, not long after, Marshal Xiao sent out fake news and lured the Hun army into Youzhou, and cheated in a jar. After the great victory, Lao Yu's detailed work gradually spread.
That mountain is called the Death Mountain. No one has ever gone out alive. Old Yu... Old Yu took us out."
He saved not only the 100,000 people in Youzhou, but also the lives of the only remaining soldiers in the Northwest Camp.
Yu Wan had known that her father was a hero, but she didn't expect that she was such a powerful hero. She endured what ordinary people could not tolerate and became what ordinary people could not achieve. He was the hero among heroes, but such a hero had no airs or burdens at all. When she returned home, she was the husband who loved her wife and the father who loved her children...
"So how did the crime of deceiving the king come about?" It was not because of the fake list, which led to the defeat.
Wu San said: "A shameless general Gui Delang told His Majesty that the list was stolen by Lao Yu from his hands!"
"Then your Majesty believe it?" This is too easy to deceive!
Wu San said distressedly: "You don't understand my little niece. That General Gui Delang is quite a bit backstage and is highly valued by His Majesty."
"Is there no witness?" Yu Wan asked.
Wu San said: "All those who escorted General Xiao at the beginning died. Only a boy named Zhou can prove that General Xiao had never seen General Guidelang, but that boy Zhou left! He wandered around the world!"
Zhou Huai was a beggar picked up by General Xiao. He worked for General Xiao all his life. After they arrived in Youzhou, Zhou Huai left, where to go to find someone at the end of the world? When they found it, maybe Lao Yu had been asked to beheaded.
"I still have to ask for the killing?" Yu Wan's eyes trembled.
Wu San sighed again: "This is a crime of deceiving the king, my little niece! It is good if you don't even implicate the nine tribes! Once the Dali Temple gets Lao Yu's crime, Lao Yu will probably be unable to escape and die. But I think Lao Yu is not so easy to 'plead guilty', he is a man!"
Not being able to admit guilt does not mean that he will not suffer. If his father is in secret, he will probably not be able to get good results after being in the prison. The jailer will definitely use any means to force his father to make a move.
When he thought that his father might be tortured in prison, Yu Wan's hand pulled into a fist: "How is my father? Others don't understand. Can't Marshal Xiao, who has been with my father all the way, see? He didn't defend my father for a while?"
Wu San shook his head: "Master Xiao didn't say a word because he was thinking about your father."
"How do you say this?" Yu Wan said in confusion.
Cuihua happened to pass by the fishing pond with a pot of clothes in her arms.
"Awan!" Cuihua greeted her with a smile. Her husband's elder brother returned safely, and the whole family was very happy.
Yu Wan smiled and nodded: "Sister Cuihua."
Wu San came to the village several times. Cuihua had seen him and knew that it was Yu Shaoqing's comrade-in-arms. She smiled embarrassedly and went over with her clothes in her arms.
Wu San continued: "Master Xiao is very good at lord, and Your Majesty has long been afraid of him. When he asked to marry Princess Yan, do you think he married him?" Wu San smiled self-deprecatingly and said, "He handed over the millions of military power and disbanded the Xiao family army."
"Just for a woman?"
"It is also for the lives of the soldiers."
Yu Wan nodded: "I understand. The more Marshal Xiao pleads for my father, the more His Majesty will be willing to kill my father."
"That's right." Wu San was not in a position to adjust himself on weekdays, but he had his own opinions on these matters. "Your Majesty is so arrogant that Old Yu is somewhat of a warning to the monkey... But the most important thing is that shameless! The emperor wants to kill someone, and he happened to hand over a knife!"
It wasn't Yan Congming who slandered Lao Yu for robbing military merits, even if the emperor wanted to give Marshal Xiao a warning, it wouldn't be the turn of Lao Yu!
"Uncle Wu, can I meet my father?" Yu Wan asked.
"This..." Wu San scratched his head, "I don't know the people from Dali Temple..."
Yu Wan turned around and left.
"Where are you going, little niece?" Wu San asked after him.
"Go to Dali Temple." Yu Wan said.
Wu San said anxiously: "Everyone said I don't have the way to Dali Temple..."
Yu Wan's eyes were firm and firm: "Then I have to go too, I can't let my father suffer an unjust injustice."
"You, what can you do when you go to your girl's house?" Wu San regretted telling her these things.
Yu Wan's steps stopped: "I don't know what I can do, but I know I can't do nothing. I want to ask my dad in person, maybe I can get any clues from him."
"Hey, you..." Wu San wanted to say, can't I ask? But when I paired with those quiet and stubborn eyes, I couldn't say anything to refuse.
Yu Wan first found the eldest aunt: "Grand aunt, please take care of my mother."
The aunt was surprised: "Awan, where are you going?"
"I'll go to the capital." Yu Wan said.
"Don't do stupid things!" said the aunt with a frightened face.
Yu Wan shook her head calmly: "I don't know, I'm with Uncle Wu."
Wu San squeezed out a smile that was even worse than crying.
Well, if he doesn't bring his little niece back safely, he will have no shame to see Lao Yu's family.
The two went to the town to rent a carriage to the capital. Wu San was not familiar with the capital. Fortunately, the coachman knew the road and soon sent the two to Dali Temple.
However, what is desperate is that the two of them couldn't even enter the door of Dali Temple!
The guards of Dali Temple said: "Yu Shaoqing is a serious offender. Unless the emperor's will, no one is allowed to visit him!"
Wu San wanted to give up his face and ask Marshal Xiao for love, but it seems that it is not possible now...
"What's wrong?" In the Chixiao Palace, which was receiving the Xiongnu envoys, the Xiongnu princess was so angry that he slapped his whip on the table, "I am the Xiongnu princess! He is my guard in the Central Plains! My guard has been arrested! I want to get him out!"
The object of her yelling was her cousin, the second prince of the Huns. The second prince was the son of the Xiao Yan clan, and his status was second only to that of the eldest brother of the Da Yan clan. This was very similar to Yan Huaijing.
The difference is that his mother is not as smart as Xu Xianfei Bingxue. Fortunately, he has a Uncle Wang who strongly supports him, which is the biological father of the Xiongnu princess in front of him.
He could say that he would always agree to this cousin, but he could not agree to this matter.
The second prince said earnestly: "Mingzhu, he stole other people's military merits and tried to fool the emperor. This is a crime of deceiving the king in the Great Zhou Dynasty and is to behead him. If you choose some guards, how many more you want."
The Xiongnu princess refused to give in: "I don't care! I want him!"
The second prince sank his face: "Don't mess around!"
The Hun Princess whipped the ground with a whip: "I want him to decide! I want him to live! Brother, don't care, I will find a way myself!"
After saying that, she stood up and went out without looking back.
"Mingzhu...Mingzhu!" The second prince did not stop.
The Xiongnu royal court has more men and few girls, and the Xiongnu princess is also very beautiful and deeply loved by her own father and uncle. She was spoiled as a child and was rude. Even the second prince often couldn't surrender her.
The second prince ordered the guards and said, "Follow the princess quickly and don't let her cause trouble again!"
"yes!"
Two Huns' guards chased after the princess in the direction where she left.
However, the Xiongnu princess left the palace and planned to visit Yu Shaoqing in Dali Temple, but unexpectedly, he met a familiar woman at the entrance of the palace.
"Yu'er greets the princess." Yan Ruyu owed slightly.
The Xiongnu princess suddenly realized: "It's you!"
Yan Ruyu smiled gently: "The princess still remembers Yu'er, it's really a honor for Yu'er."
"Who wants to remember you?" The Xiongnu princess rolled his eyes and asked without asking who Yan Ruyu was, what exactly he did to the palace.
Yan Ruyu looked at her hurriedly leaving back, and a faint curve appeared on the corner of her lips: "Is the princess going to Dali Temple?"
The Xiongnu princess who had one foot on the stirrup suddenly stopped.
Yan Ruyu smiled faintly and said, "If I were the princess, I would never touch this bad intention. Yu Shaoqing committed a death sentence. It would be better for the princess to stay away from him, so as not to be implicated and make His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty unhappy. That would be troublesome, what does the princess think?"
The Xiongnu princess walked towards Yan Ruyu coldly.
Yan Ruyu looked at her with a smile. Her father made great contributions and was named Marquis of Wanhu. She is now the daughter of the Marquis' Mansion, but she is no longer so afraid of a princess of a defeated country.
After all, this princess has to beg them for the Great Zhou.
The Hun Princess snorted coldly, raised his hand and whipped Yan Ruyu with a whip!
