A large group of pigeons with small bamboo tubes tied to their legs are flying hard among the mountains. Crossing the Bashan Shu River is an extremely hard job in itself, not to mention the hungry eagles and kites in this land and sky all over the world.
They fly higher and faster than pigeons, and their claws and beaks are more powerful. As the overlord of the sky, anything flying in the sky is basically their food.
How could pigeons be spared? It's just that when these overlords were pecking at food, they didn't care what was tied to the legs of the food. They just thought it was an inconvenience, so they pecked off the bamboo tube in one bite and threw it into the valley at their feet.
went.
In order to go home, the pigeons flickered their wings and flew hard back to the city where there were many two-legged animals. When they saw the city wall, only three of the sixteen pigeons were left, and two flew to the city.
Another one flew straight back to Yun's house.
Old Qian had a gloomy look on his face. He was directing the servants in the yard to recycle the grain that had been brought out to dry in the warehouse, with his hands behind his back. From time to time he would look up at the sky, which was as depressed as his face, and curse a few times.
A blue pigeon staggered down from the sky, landed on the pile of grain, and began to peck at it without hesitation. Lao Qian's eyes lit up, he grabbed the pigeon, took off the bamboo tube from its leg, and pulled out
Looking at a small piece of waxed cloth inside, I shook my hand and the pigeon fell back into the grain pile. The servants were about to pick the pigeon out. This thing is always eaten and pooped, which will stain the grain. Just listen to Lao Qian.
He yelled: "Let him eat, let him eat, as much as he likes, and prepare some water for him."
After saying that, he burst into tears and ran towards the inner courtyard.
"There is news for the Marquis, there is news for the Marquis. Oh my God, there is news."
In the inner courtyard, Xin Yue was nodding at Na Rimu's head to teach her not to eat only meat but also eat more vegetables. When she first heard Old Qian yelling in the courtyard, she finally heard what he was shouting. Her legs went weak and she fell to the ground.
.
Her husband left home for four months without even saying hello to his family. He only said that he was going to serve his elders. Xin Yue never believed this. How could his man not understand? Even if he was going to serve his elders.
, I will definitely invite my elders home, let my family members meet, and arrange everything properly so that I can go out. I will never leave the whole family behind and run out alone.
She would only do this unless she encountered danger, a very big danger. Xin Yue was not very clear about her husband's affairs outside. Even if she knew, she only knew about some happy things. Her husband never talked about suffering and danger.
Xin Yue didn't dare to ask. No matter how petty she was, she didn't dare to ask Yun Ye something he didn't want to say.
These days, Xinyue leaves the children to be taken care of by two wet nurses and takes care of the Yun Mansion herself. Even if her husband cannot come back, she will clean up the house and hand it over to her grown-up son. Then she can go to see herself
husband.
That day, Rimu threw a bowl full of vegetables on the table and came to the door with her slightly bulging belly in her arms. Yun Ye didn't know the news that she was pregnant, which made her feel aggrieved. Now that there was news, she was naturally anxious.
.
She grabbed the strip of cloth from Lao Qian's hand and looked at it for a long time before remembering that she was illiterate. Then she gave the strip of cloth to Xin Yue and stared at it waiting for Xin Yue to tell her.
Xin Yue returned to her true nature as Mrs. Gaoming, and calmly took the cloth, which read: "Nanzhao was in turmoil, Dou Yanshan rebelled, and the fighting was very urgent. Marquis Yun appeared, took a bamboo raft, and escaped into the river."
Xin Yue understood the cause and effect of the matter in an instant. Her husband fell into Dou Yanshan's hands and now escaped to the river on a bamboo raft.
When he thought of the war raging there and Yun Ye's struggle to survive, big tears fell down, and his heart ached like a knife. That day, Rimu eagerly tugged on her sleeves, wanting to know where her husband was.
Wiping away her tears, Xin Yue said to Na Rimu: "My husband is in Nanzhao and is doing something. He will come when the matter is finished. I want you to be obedient and eat up that bowl of vegetables."
Yun Ye would never refuse that day. It was normal for men on the grassland to go out for half a year. As long as they were safe, they would take good care of themselves. When the time comes, they would give him a fat son. He would definitely like it.
.Thinking of this, I was so happy that I picked up my rice bowl and ate.
Xin Yue glanced at Lao Qian, who nodded knowingly, bowed and left the room.
Xin Yue clutched the cloth and trudged to the Buddhist hall. Ever since her husband disappeared, the old woman had been kneeling and worshiping in the Buddhist hall all day long, and would not stop until she recited a blessing scripture a hundred times.
As soon as I arrived at the door of the Buddhist hall, I heard the voice of the old woman: "But there is news about Ye'er?"
"Yes, I am in Nanzhao."
"Say it all in one go. Grandma, I have lost my husband and my son. I have never experienced grief. No matter how bad the news is, I can withstand it. I have to say it all in one go. There is no hiding it."
"Grandma, my husband fell into the hands of Dou Yanshan. Now he escaped while taking advantage of the war in Nanzhao. He took a bamboo raft and walked across the river. There is no other news now."
Xin Yue handed the strip of cloth to the old lady. The old lady took it and glanced at it. The hand holding the beads shook slightly, and soon stabilized. She said to Xin Yue: "Ye'er is not here, you are the backbone of the family."
, that Higurashi is pregnant, don’t let her worry, if anything happens, just block it.”
After saying that, he closed his eyes again and continued chanting.
Li Er was looking at the same piece of cloth for a long time before he put it on the table without saying a word. Li Chengqian, who was accompanying him, wanted to ask but didn't dare to say anything and was impatient.
"Hold on, you are the prince. It is not good to show anger and anger. Yun Ye escaped from Dou Yanshan alive. This boy has achieved this step. Even your father and I have to say that he has done a good job. He
It was actually impossible to set off a huge wave in Nanzhao. Nanzhao Jiudong Eighteen Village and Dou Yanshan fought to the death. Evenly matched, now entering a confrontation period, but Yun Ye escaped from the river alone, life and death.
I wonder if this kid can't endure for a few more days. When Dou Yanshan defeats the natives, his army will fall apart and he can come back safely."
Li Er knocked on the table and said slowly.
"Your Majesty, Dou Yanshan was able to keep Yun Ye alive until now because of something unexpected. Since he discovered our people and resolutely chose to escape, we can only say that the situation at that time was on the verge of breaking out and he could not be allowed to stay any longer.
."
The eldest grandson came out from behind the curtain, also holding a piece of cloth in his hand, but it was densely covered with words, unlike the Yun family's piece of cloth which only had a few strokes.
"The queen is right. It is a miracle that Yun Ye can survive until now. If I were in Dou Yanshan's situation, I would cut off my head first without saying a word when we met."
The eldest grandson covered his mouth and chuckled twice and said: "Not necessarily, everyone knows that Yun Ye is rare, and they will think about it before killing someone. If Yun Ye is a few years older and meets you when you are conquering the world, you and I will be together."
He has a huge hatred, and he will also think about whether there is a chance to subjugate him. Look at your officials, how many of them have followed you since Jinyang to conquer the world? Dou Yanshan
I'm learning from you."
Li Er burst out laughing, and then stopped for a long time and said to the prince: "Look, Dou Yanshan is very ambitious. He wants to build his own country in Nanzhao, and he can sit up and walk. In this regard, he is better than him." Grandfather and father were much stronger. It's a pity that he met Yun Ye. If he could calm down and spend ten years laying the foundation, he might succeed. It's a pity that he was fascinated by Yun Ye's gold mine. Then Not only did the gold mine not play a good role, but it also played a role in hindering the development of the country. It was haste but waste.
Cheng Qian, remember, what the Tang Dynasty needs now is to fight steadily, not to advance by leaps and bounds. We have clear goals in every battle. For example, this time, our purpose is to open up trade routes and allow Datang to have peace with distant countries. After contacting us, Yun Ye's map has been confirmed and is very accurate, at least within our territory of the Tang Dynasty. Those Persian merchants also confirmed the accuracy of the location of the Western Regions. The world is so big, I have underestimated the heroes of the world.
It turns out that there are mountains on the other side of the mountains and seas on the other side of the sea. It would be ridiculous for me to only focus on the Central Plains. Now that our vision has changed, we must keep up with our ambitions. Since there is boundless land to provide If we gallop, we will lay down a vast land for future generations.
Ma Zhou was now living in a state of betrayal and alienation. Li Gang personally expelled him from the academy and burned his academic records. He considered him the greatest shame of the academy and declared that even if he died, he would be cursed in hell.
I heard that Ma Zhou knelt at the gate of the academy for three days, not eating or drinking, and finally fainted. He was not forgiven by the academy. He paid such a heavy price just to prevent the court from annexing land. It was not for his own selfish reasons. It was only because of his knowledge and because I was adding fuel to the flames that he was put to death. If you take him with you on this expedition, he will never be able to return to the Central Plains in his life. Even if it is a little compensation given to him by the royal family, ."
Li Er rarely spoke so much to Li Chengqian, and told Li Chengqian one by one the inferences he had obtained from the brief information.
One of them, father and son, taught earnestly, and the other listened attentively. The eldest grandson sat aside and watched, sometimes looking at Li Er, sometimes at Cheng Qian, with his eyes full of happiness and pride.
"My father's teachings should be kept in mind by the child. Open your eyes, expand your mind, and learn skills. During this expedition, your child will definitely watch more, listen more, do more, speak less, and learn the skills of those old commanders well, master them, and master them." Tou, this time being plotted by Li Shuai, let the child know his shortcomings, and he will definitely put away his pride and confidence. However, it will take at least more than a year for the child to come back from the expedition. Please take care of yourself and eat on time, Han. Put on extra clothes every now and then, and don’t teach your children to worry when they are thousands of miles away.”
Li Chengqian knelt on the ground and bowed respectfully to Li Er and his eldest grandson. Then he stood up and strode out of the palace.
The people of the Yun family must be very anxious now. They must pass on the news of Yun Ye's safety to the Yun family no matter what, even if it violates the ban imposed by their father a few months ago.
