At night, Liu Yunxiang was lying on the bed and felt her stomach was not very comfortable, but it was like she was getting cold air when she left the city during the day. She was afraid that she would give birth, so she didn't dare to sleep.

At this time, the curtain opened and a black shadow quietly touched in.

The black shadow was short and heavy, still dragging a very thick wooden stick. This time Liu Yunxiang didn't say anything, but when he saw the black shadow approaching, he actually raised the wooden stick.

"Aunt Yan, I haven't offended you?" Liu Yunxiang said.

Because of this sound, Aunt Yan was so scared that she took two steps back and the stick fell to the ground.

Liu Yunxiang stood up with her arms, lit the candle on the table, and then saw Aunt Yan wearing a thick cotton jacket and staring at her hard, as if she was afraid that she would run away.

"You want to use this stick to kill me?" Liu Yunxiang glanced at the wooden stick as thick as a forearm.

Aunt Yan's hand was broken and could only hold it with her arm. Maybe she practiced it when she was sweeping the floor in Ziyun Temple. The movement of holding a wooden stick was quite flexible. But in the end, she was unable to use her hands and could not use her strength.

Aunt Yan shook her head when she heard this, "I'm so angry... I'm so angry..."

Liu Yunxiang raised her eyebrows, "What's the matter?"

"take away."

"do what?"

Aunt Yan looked at Liu Yunxiang and looked quietly for a long time. Then she struggled to take off the monk's hat on her head, and took out a letter stacked in all directions from the mezzanine.

I don't know how long this letter has been hidden, but it has turned yellow. Aunt Yan has no hands and cannot open it, so Liu Yunxiang took it from her. Carefully opened it under the candle, with a few lines of words on it.

"A traitor in the army turned against Beijin. One thousand soldiers were trapped in Tuhun Fort. Please send troops to help quickly."

Liu Yunxiang looked at these words and remembered the legend in his previous life. The soldiers of the Western Expedition did not die, and a thousand people entered the desert in the northern desert.

“Who wrote this?”

"Hou...Master." Aunt Yan said tremblingly, tears in her turbid eyes as she mentioned this person, "He... is alive."

"This letter is for the emperor, why did it come to your hands?"

Aunt Yan talked intermittently for a while before Liu Yunxiang understood it in general.

A traitor in the army conveyed news with the Northern Jin Dynasty. The old marquis' actions were discovered in advance by the other party and set up an ambush, with countless casualties. The old marquis took three thousand soldiers to fight out and was forced to retreat into the desert in the northern desert. The three thousand soldiers were injured and killed, and finally, when they arrived at Tuhun Castle, there were only one thousand left.

Outside Tuhun Fort was the garrison of the border town of Beijin, and they could not escape, so they sent several soldiers to sneak into the caravan to return to Shengjing to seek help.

However, these soldiers were hunted all the way, and by the time of Shengjing, there was only one left and he was seriously injured.

The soldier guessed that there were traitors in the court, and he could not see the emperor at all, so he could only sneak into the marquis's mansion and entrust the letter to Aunt Yan.

The soldier died. Aunt Yan has always been smart and is very dependent on the old marquis. She knew that things were not simple, so she hid the letter first and then went to find the old marquis's close friend.

Li Chengwu, Minister of War, asked him to take her into the palace to meet the saint.

It’s impossible for no reason, she still revealed some news. She didn’t expect that she would find trouble. She was imprisoned in a dungeon, used all kinds of torture, her hands were chopped, her appearance was destroyed, and her body was countless scalding, but she gritted her teeth and said she didn’t know anything. Seeing that the emperor just wanted the emperor to investigate the Western Expedition case and call for the old marquis to injustice.

Those people wanted to know the clues, but couldn't ask, and were afraid that she would tell them, so they cut her tongue and threw it back to the Marquis' Mansion.

The old lady didn't know the matter, but she felt that Aunt Yan was a disaster, so she didn't find a doctor for her and let her die. This is why the old lady felt guilty when she saw Aunt Yan.

But at this time, the Empress Dowager issued an order to ask Aunt Yan to follow her to Ziyun Temple to pray for blessings. After ordering someone to cure her, she let her stay in Ziyun Temple.

"So you have been hiding this letter in the past few years and have not read it to the second person?" Liu Yunxiang asked with a trembling voice.

Aunt Yan nodded, "No...dare..."

Don't dare, don't trust anyone.

"Why give it to me?"

Aunt Yan stared at Liu Yunxiang and said hard: "You...brother..."

Liu Yunxiang's heart beat suddenly, "You mean my brother is still alive?"

Aunt Yan paused, then shook her head.

She didn't know either, she could only say that there was a glimmer of hope.

Liu Yunxiang glanced at Aunt Yan's thick stick again, "You knocked me out and wanted to take me away, and then look for them?"

Aunt Yan nodded, her eyes were burning.

"But four years have you ever thought that they are still alive?"

It's not elsewhere, but in the desert.

How can they live without water and food?

She couldn't help but think of the rumor that the soldier who came back alive was perhaps the only one who was alive...

Aunt Yan shook her head and said anxiously: "He...he must...he must be alive...he is waiting for me...waiting for me to find him..."

Looking at Aunt Yan's anxious look, it was hard to imagine how she, a weak woman, survived in the punishment room, and how she endured her in the past few years.

She loves the old marquis very much, and this is the only answer.

Aunt Yan probably understood in the past few years that even if she saw the emperor and gave the letter to the emperor, the foolish monarch would not send anyone to rescue him. She had no choice but to see him alone.

Liu Yunxiang looked out the window, "But do you have a way to take me out?"

Aunt Yan nodded quickly and pointed to the direction of her room.

The next day, Liu Yunxiang sent Aunt Zhang out to buy vegetables.

Aunt Zhang responded loudly while looking at Liu Yunxiang worriedly. Seeing her nodding at her, she went out with a basket.

Liu Yunxiang returned to the west room, and Jinyan was stepping up her needlework.

She held a midi shirt in her hand, put a cloth bag on the inside, and then stuffed a stack of silver notes in it.

"Girl, please change into this dress."

Liu Yunxiang was funny, "Then are you hiding it?"

Jinyan patted the position of his chest, and he was bulging, "hiding a lot."

Liu Yunxiang nodded, "You are still thoughtful."

The two of them packed up and heard Zijin shouting outside: "Girl, come and see, Aunt Yan seems to be sick."

Liu Yunxiang glanced at Jinyan and said, "Let's go."

Jinyan focused heavily, "Yes."

The master and servant came out of the main room. Liu Yunxiang glanced at the wall, but saw the branches of the locust tree outside the wall shaking. She lowered her eyes and entered Aunt Yan's house on the grounds of seeing a doctor.

When Aunt Yan saw that the master and servant came in, she hurriedly moved the pile of firewood at the end of the wing room.

Liu Yunxiang looked out and saw a hole behind her.

Aunt Yan got in first, Jinyan helped Liu Yunxiang and then went in, and Zijin covered the firewood behind him.

This hole leads to the west wing room next to the west courtyard, which is Lu Chang'an's home. Fortunately, he is deserted and no one lives there. A hole was also opened in the west wing room, and there is also a hole behind the west cottage. Then he reaches the back of the house of Liu Yunxiang, and another alley.

When I dug this road, Aunt Yan's hands were not good, so it must have taken a lot of time. No wonder she kept not coming out of the house.

There was a carriage deep in the alley, and the coachman was waiting for them.

"Honey, get in the car, the shopkeeper asked me to take you out of the city."

This carriage was prepared by Liu Yunxiang for Zhang Qi. He got on the carriage and soon left the city.

Liu Yunxiang looked at the city gate that was leaving, and couldn't help feeling a little uncomfortable.
