The next morning, after Shen Yi took care of the important matters at hand, he went to the backyard and met Zhou Yuanlang's first wife.
In addition to his first wife, he also had two concubines. Among his children, one of his sons was born from his concubine, but those two concubines were not even on Zhou Yuanlang's "rescue list."
As for the relationship between mother and son...
To be honest, Zhou Yuanlang didn't value these things, and people in this era didn't care much about what children thought.
Qin was protected all the way and fled here in a hurry. She is still a little confused now, but no matter how unconscious she is, she can now guess where this place is.
In other words, she has already guessed that this is Chen Jun's territory.
After seeing Shen Yi, Mrs. Qin hesitated for a moment, but she still cast a spell on Shen Yi and said softly: "I am Zhou Qin, may I ask who you are?"
"My surname is Shen."
Shen Yi thought for a while and said: "My wife calls me Shen Qi when I am at home."
He has too many identities at the moment, but he can't say those identities himself, otherwise he will seem a bit too cheap.
Hearing the words "Shen Qi", Mrs. Qin couldn't help but widen her eyes, and suddenly raised her head to look at Shen Yi, her eyes full of shock.
There are tens of thousands of people with the surname Shen in this world, and there are quite a lot of people with the same surname of Shen among their peers. But now, in this world, no matter who it is, when the word Shen Qi is mentioned, everyone will invariably think of the same person. .
That is Da Chen’s father, now the commander-in-chief of Da Chen’s royal division, and the crown prince of the Han Dynasty!
Shen Yi, Shen Ziheng!
Qin was shocked, because in her opinion, Shen Qi was almost as big a figure as Emperor Zhaowu. Such a figure should not be so young, and...
You shouldn't see this little woman like her in person.
When Mrs. Qin didn't speak, Shen Yi asked, "What's wrong, Madam?"
"No no."
Mrs. Qin shook her head, looked up at Shen Yi, took a deep breath, bowed and saluted, and said: "Master Shen, when your man took concubine in Yandu, he got the autographed letter from your husband, which is even more special. The four of us, mother and son, were brought out in the name of my son-in-law. Now I and others have successfully escaped from Yandu. May I ask Mr. Shen, where is my son-in-law now?"
"Mr. Zhou should be in Cangzhou."
Shen Yi thought for a while and then said: "But after I received the news that my wife successfully left the city two days ago, I have already sent a letter to Mr. Zhou. Mr. Zhou may be on his way to Jinghai now."
Seeing that Shen Yi's words were quite gentle, Ms. Qin felt a little relieved. She bowed slightly and said: "Master Shen is a very important person, but I, my mother, and my son are humble people. I don't dare to disturb you here. Please send me a message from him." Several people sent us, mother and son, to my husband's place..."
"I will be endlessly grateful to you for waiting."
Shen Yi put his hands in his sleeves, looked at Mrs. Qin with a half-smile, and then said with a smile: "Madam, do you know how much Shen paid to bring you mother and son out?"
"That night, seventeen spies died in the battle, either directly killed or committed suicide after being arrested. There may be dozens of passers-by who were implicated by them."
"After them, there must be inner guards who will be traced by the Purity Department. This time, the inner guards may lose more than fifty people, all of whom have been lurking for many years with meritorious deeds."
"They worked hard to get the madam and the others out. If Shen had put the madam and the others back in without blinking an eye, I would be afraid that I would not be able to sleep at night, or that they would come into my dream."
Although Shen Yi's words were gentle, Mrs. Qin was already a little panicked. She looked up at Shen Yi and stuttered, "What do you want, Lord Shen?"
"My husband hired Shen to bring you mother and son out. Now that I've finished my errand, he hasn't paid me yet."
Master Shen said calmly: "Mrs. Zhou, don't worry, I won't harm you, and no one here will harm you."
"Now, my place can be said to be the safest place in the world. You can stay here with peace of mind. I will talk to him in detail when my husband arrives in a few days."
"As long as he doesn't break his promise."
Shen Yi said quietly: "Then my wife and several children will surely enjoy endless glory and wealth in the future. When the time comes, your family will be very grateful to me."
After saying that, Mr. Shen symbolically bowed his hand: "Okay, madam, stay here for now. I will send someone to look after you here. If you need anything, just tell them."
"Shen has a lot to do, so I don't need to spend time with him."
There is actually nothing to talk about with this Mrs. Zhou. After all, she can't make any decisions. The reason why she came to take a look in person is mainly to give the mother and son an explanation so that they can live in peace of mind.
What Shen Yi is really waiting for is Zhou Yuanlang, and he can only talk to Zhou Yuanlang.
In the next two days, the Left Route Army officially fought with the Tianjin Three Guards. Because Liu Mingyuan's Dengzhou Navy had been near Tianjin for several months, they had a good understanding of the geographical environment here and the Tianjin Three Guards. Looking for Tianjin The process of starting the three-guard lineup was very smooth.
Su Ding led the army in person. Before they arrived in Tianjin, the scouts had already accurately reported the location of the Tianjin Three Guards. However, the Tianjin Three Guards, after only one day of fighting, without too many casualties, began to decisively shrink and move towards Yan. They all retreated.
When the Dengzhou Navy and the Left Army were chasing after each other, Zhou Yuanlang, who was in Cangzhou, finally arrived at Jinghai on horseback. Under the leadership of Lord Shen's personal guards, he soon saw him in a garden in Jinghai. Shen Yi.
It was spring now, even in a place like Jinghai, the pavilion had already been warmed up. Zhou Yuanlang only wore a single suit. He looked at Lord Shen who was sitting on the rocking chair with his eyes closed to relax, silently stepped forward, and bowed sincerely. He bowed his body and saluted: "Zhou Yuanlang pays homage to Lord Shen."
Shen Yi opened his eyes and looked at Zhou Yuanlang, but did not get up. He just smiled and said, "Mr. Zhou, please sit down."
However, Zhou Yuanlang did not sit down, but just lowered his head and said: "Master Hou is a righteous man who saved my family from the fire and water. I am deeply grateful."
He took two steps back, knelt on the ground without saying a word, touched his forehead to the ground, and kowtowed to Shen Yi: "Zhou Yuanlang, I kowtow to thank you for your great kindness."
Shen Yi then sat up straight and looked at Zhou Yuanlang kneeling in front of him, he couldn't help but feel a little happy.
For such a long time, although he didn't praise Zhou Yuanlang too much, in his heart, he still admired Zhou Yuanlang.
This is a very smart and resourceful person.
The two have been rivals for such a long time, and this is the first time Zhou Yuanlang has knelt in front of him in this posture.
However, Shen Yi has one advantage, that is, no matter what happens, he will not be dazzled by joys, sorrows, favors and humiliations, and will calm down quickly.
It only took a short time for Shen Yi to come to his senses. He stood up, helped Zhou Yuanlang up, and said with a smile: "Mr. Zhou, I am a long-term worker working for the landlord's family. Now that things are done, many of my subordinates have died. , Mr. Zhou, a landlord, cannot break his promise and get rich."
"Don't dare."
Zhou Yuanlang lowered his head and said, "Master Hou, can you please allow me to meet your family?"
"Let's finish talking first, and then we will naturally let the husband see them, but..."
Shen Yi grimaced and said slowly: "We have an agreement first. Sir, we can only meet each other. We can't take them away now."
Zhou Yuanlang's expression changed slightly, and then he looked at Shen Yi: "What does the Marquis mean?"
"Sir, in the next two days, you must give me a surrender charter and start it immediately. It is best to have me take over the entire Southern Conquest Army within a month."
"In the future, if your family wants to reunite, that will be very simple."
Shen Yi lowered his eyebrows and said, "You can only be reunited as a family in Jiankang. From now on, you will be free and enjoy endless wealth and splendor."
Zhou Yuanlang took a deep breath, lowered his head to Shen Yi and said: "Master Hou, of course I will not go back on what I promised you earlier. Now the initiative is in the hands of Master Hou. I can only do whatever the master says." Just do it."
"But Lord Marquis, I have a request."
Shen Yi sat back on the rocking chair and said calmly: "Tell me and listen."
Zhou Yuanlang still did not sit down. He lowered his hands and lowered his head. He stood in front of Shen Yi and lowered his head and said: "Master Hou, my father has a request."
"My father and son, or the Southern Army, cannot take the initiative to leave the city and surrender. Instead, we ask the Huai'an Army to invade Cangzhou City..."
"After breaking the city, the Southern Army surrendered."
Zhou Yuanlang sighed softly: "In this way, Yandu's family can still have a glimmer of hope."
"Most of the family members of the generals who conquered the South can be saved."
Shen Yi raised his eyebrows and said in a low voice: "You don't want to set up an ambush in Cangzhou City to ambush our army?"
"How dare you."
Zhou Yuanlang hurriedly lowered his head and said: "Master Hou, there are only more than 10,000 people under General Zhou Huai's command. If the Southern Conquest Army lets them enter the city, even if they set up an ambush, at most they will kill half of General Zhou's command, seven or eight thousand people. The impact will be There won’t be any battle situation.”
"It will even anger the Marquis and make our Zhou family die without a burial place."
"No matter how stupid I am, I won't be able to figure out the pros and cons of this."
Mr. Shen then stood up and took a look at Zhou Yuanlang.
"Sir, please go see Mrs. Zhou..."
"As for whether to enter Cangzhou City or not, this matter..."
