At this time, Guning State sent people to the city and shouted to the people on the wall,
"According to the order of our emperor, we are going into the city to reach Jitoushan. Please ask the Luoyang City Government Office to make way."
Condescendingly, Mr. Liu glanced at the people below the city, then looked at Xiao Mo,
"General Xiao, how should I respond?"
Xiao Mo twitched the corner of his mouth, looked at Su Muer and Ye Shihan, and said to Mr. Liu:
"Luoyang City is under your jurisdiction. How do you answer whether Lord Liu knows?"
When Mr. Liu heard this, he clasped his fists and said:
"My subordinate understands."
Mr. Liu came to the city wall and shouted to the people below:
"You guys from the Guning Kingdom came to the territory of the Eastern Jin Kingdom with official missions, and you actually want to pass through my Luoyang City openly? Go back and tell your emperor that you can either go back or attack the city. I will not open the city gate."
Hearing this, the people in the city hesitated for a while, then rode away on horseback.
When the emperor of Guning Kingdom heard the visitor's report, he was so angry that he blew his beard and stared. Seeing this, the queen hurriedly spoke to comfort him,
"Your Majesty, don't be anxious. What the Lord of Luoyang City said makes some sense. If we come with such a large force, we will definitely arouse the other party's suspicion. Although we bring a small number of people, it is enough to cause harm to this small Luoyang."
The emperor frowned and thought, nodded slightly,
"The Queen's words make sense. In the Queen's opinion, how should we pass through Luoyang City? How can we go to Jitou Mountain to find Qian'er and Jin'er?"
The queen glanced in the direction of Luoyang City Gate and said softly to the emperor:
"I'm going to talk to the people on the wall."
"No, it's too dangerous."
"It's okay. The two armies are fighting and haven't killed the incoming enemy. Besides, we haven't fought yet. I'll step forward and explain the matter. Maybe there will be a turn for the better."
Seeing that the queen was resolute, the emperor had no other choice but to let her try.
"Queen, please be careful and ask General Sun and General Li to go with you."
"No need. If there are too many people, it is easy for the other party to become hostile. I will go alone as a woman and nothing will happen."
After saying that, she sat on the horse, rode forward, and walked quickly towards the city gate.
Several people on the city wall were discussing how to respond if the Guning people attacked the city, and someone came to report.
"General, a woman has come down from the city."
woman?
After hearing this, several people walked to the city wall and looked down.
I saw the queen in plain clothes riding on horseback, shouting at the city wall,
"I am the Queen of Guning Kingdom, who is Lord Liu of Luoyang City?"
Mr. Liu looked at Xiao Mo again, and Xiao Mo nodded to him, gesturing for him to answer.
So he took two steps forward and shouted to the people below:
"I am Mr. Liu, what are you doing here?"
Su Mu'er looked at the woman below, and her heart suddenly filled with doubts.
However, there must be a different reason why the woman dared to come to the city in person, and she was full of curiosity about this.
The queen of Guning Kingdom shouted to the city wall,
"We just want to go to Jitou Mountain via Luoyang. As you can see, we don't have many people with us, and we will go back soon after arriving at Jitou Mountain. Please make it convenient for Mr. Liu."
Hearing this, Mr. Liu frowned and looked at her,
"You, Guning State, and the Eastern Jin State are not friendly neighboring countries. You have entered the Eastern Jin State's territory without permission. This is illegal. Now you are still trying to cross our Luoyang City. This is simply a daydream."
Hearing this, the queen under the city wall suddenly became a little impatient.
"My two children were killed by your people from the Eastern Jin Kingdom. Now that I know they are still alive, I want to find them back, but you are not accommodating at all. If this is the case, then I, Guning, will really send troops here.
The city is under siege.”
After finishing her words, Mr. Liu snorted coldly and threatened her,
"I'm waiting."
"Okay, don't regret it."
After leaving these words, the queen of Guning Kingdom rode back aggressively, leaving only Su Mu'er with a surprised face.
She murmured to herself, "She is going to Jitou Mountain to find her children? What is the relationship between her children and Jitou Mountain?"
Before she finished speaking, Xiaoqian, Liu Jin, Doudou, and Qing'er climbed onto the city wall together.
Seeing them coming, Su Muer couldn't help but frowned, "Why did you come down the mountain? Didn't I tell you to wait on the mountain?"
Xiaoqian glanced at her, pursed her lips tightly, and spoke timidly,
"The person in charge, the Queen of Guning Kingdom, is looking for me."
"What?"
Su Mu'er looked at her with confusion, then looked at Doudou, "What's going on?"
Doudou also nodded, "Yes, the person they are looking for is Xiaoqian. They say Xiaoqian is their daughter."
Their words made Su Muer confused.
Xiaoqian took out the purse from her arms and raised it in front of her, "Because of this, they think I am their daughter."
Seeing this purse, Su Muer was even more surprised. She clearly remembered that Liu Jin had a purse that was exactly the same as this one, except for the words on it.
Liu Jin, who was standing behind Xiaoqian, saw the purse in her hand, raised his hand and looked at the purse in his own hand, and his mind was suddenly filled with questions.
Su Muer asked directly:
"The one in Liu Jin's hand is similar to yours, isn't it?"
Speaking of this, she suddenly raised her head and looked at Liu Jin. Could it be that the children that Queen Guning was talking about were Xiaoqian and Liu Jin in front of her?
Xiaoqian looked back at Liu Jin and nodded directly,
"Yes, Liu Jin is their son, and I am their daughter."
Upon hearing this, Liu Jin's face suddenly turned blue and white, and he froze on the spot, a little at a loss.
Qing'er stood beside him, looking at him in astonishment.
"Liu Jin, then why don't you remember them?"
Liu Jin shook his head helplessly, "I don't know. My memory is only from after I was seven or eight years old. I don't remember what happened before."
All this happened so suddenly that everyone present looked at each other in confusion.
The queen of Guning Kingdom returned to the emperor and breathed a sigh of relief.
"It seems that this battle is inevitable. It is really not easy to enter the city smoothly."
The emperor's eyebrows suddenly turned cold. He looked at the location of Luoyang City. His livid face was covered with ice.
"It seems like this is what I expected. Let's camp here first. After the army joins us tomorrow, it won't be too late to attack the city."
It turned out that he had already made a plan before coming here. If he entered Luoyang City rashly, he would definitely not get in smoothly. So for the sake of his two children, he decided to take the risk and attack the city. Anyway, as far as he knew, there were only more than a thousand official officials in Luoyang City.
Including the number of people from the imperial court who came to suppress the bandits, there were only six to seven thousand. He brought ten thousand elite troops to capture this place, which was more than enough.
Seeing that it was getting dark, a group of people in the city were sitting in the camp, discussing what to do tomorrow.
Uncle Wu and Liu Jin were sitting in the back room. He looked at Liu Jin and sighed, and then said softly:
"Now that you know, I won't hide it from you. Back then, your father snatched you back from the hands of two officials. That year, the Guning Kingdom fought with the Eastern Jin Kingdom. The battle lasted for several days and nights. Your father's
He was not a bandit at that time. In order to save you, he killed the two officers. He knew that your identity must be very special. In order to avoid the pursuit of the officers and soldiers, he took you to Jitoushan and took root here.
"
Liu Jin looked at him straightly, his face bloodless, "Then why don't I remember anything?"
Uncle Wu also shook his head in confusion,
"This is unknown. After your father took you to the mountain, he also tried to ask where your family was and wanted to send you back, but you had nothing else except this purse, and you looked special at that time.
Sluggish, unwilling to say anything, helpless, your father brought you to live here."
When Liu Dahu was mentioned, Liu Jin suddenly covered his face and started sobbing.
It turned out that his father came to this Jitou Mountain to become a bandit because of him, and he never married a wife. Now, before he could repay his kindness, he left him first.
The more he thought about this, the more his heart ached.
That's all Uncle Wu knew. Judging from the purse in Liu Jin's hand, it was indeed exactly the same as Xiaoqian's. If Xiaoqian was from Guning, he must be too.
All this happened so suddenly that Liu Jin couldn't accept it.
After Uncle Wu left, he sat alone in the room, silent and at a loss.
Qing'er pushed open the door and walked in with a pot of water in her hand. She stood beside him, poured him a glass of water and pushed it in front of him.
She sat down opposite him, pursed her lips and looked at him,
"Liu Jin, now you know that your parents are still alive and you have a sister, you should be happy."
Liu Jin said with dull eyes, "I don't know why I don't have any previous memories. My parents suddenly appeared like this, and I couldn't adapt to it for a while."
"But this is a fact, a fact that no one can change. But why are you from Guning Country?"
Speaking of this, she lowered her head a little lonely.
Liu Jin suddenly reached across the table and took her hand, looking at her nervously.
"Qing'er, will you look down on me because I'm from an enemy country? Will you ignore me?"
Qing'er breathed a sigh of relief and shook her head helplessly, "I don't know, I like you and I don't care where you are from, but we can't overcome the worldly ties. If your parents are the emperor and the emperor of Guning Kingdom,
Queen, then you are the prince, I am a bandit, and we are not the same person at all."
"That's not the case." Liu Jin suddenly showed a melancholy expression, "I still don't know whether this is true or not. Even if it is true, I will stay in Jitou Mountain for you. Wherever you are, I will be.
"
"real?"
Qing'er looked at him with disbelief, then shook her head, "This is impossible. It's a good thing that you found your parents. How can I keep you by my side? Then I would be too selfish and unfair to you and your parents.
It’s not fair either.”
"I don't care. I grew up in the Eastern Jin Kingdom. In my heart, I have always regarded myself as a member of the Eastern Jin Kingdom. So no matter what my identity is, you must not leave me, okay?"
