Forced to Zhongnan Chapter 35 Rushing to the Royal City
Yan Yun and Zoe were newly married, and Zoe was shy, sweet, and considerate. During the first three days of their wedding, the two were inseparable.
Zoe also discovered four terrifying scars from Yan Yun's chest to abdomen, like four giant centipedes lying on her stomach. When she first saw it, she was so frightened that she almost ran out of bed.
Fortunately, this little episode did not ruin the atmosphere of the wedding night, but it only made Zoe feel sorry for Yan Yun and shed a lot of tears.
However, Yan Yun smiled and said that he was alive thanks to meeting Taoist Yuzhenzi. He also said that this Taoist had great medical skills and was like a land god, but it was a pity that he was not good at telling fortunes. It was completely unreasonable to say that he was born a monk. Before he told his fortune,
You are still alone, but you unexpectedly got married after having your fortune told. How can you talk about becoming a monk?
The marriage between Yanyun and Zoe was known to no one but the Zuo family, and the scope of their activities was limited to the side room and a small courtyard in front of the door.
This marriage is the result of bargaining between Yan Yun and Zuo Gao. There is never any emotion in official marriages. They are all based on the political needs of both families. The same is true for Yan Yun and Di You. Although they grew up together as childhood sweethearts, they will eventually become friends.
They parted ways because of the relationship between their parents.
But Zoe is innocent. She didn't even fully understand Yan Yun's true identity, so she slept with Yan Yun under the arrangement of her family, although she did have a crush on him. Yan Yun treated her with sincerity,
He did not conceal his origins and told the whole story. From another level, Yan Yun was lucky. Zoe was gentle and virtuous. They had experienced life and death together before marriage and had the same temperament. Before he joined the army, one of them had a lot of fun.
The brother who was good and older than him married the daughter of a high-ranking official in the court as his wife. This lady did not like red clothes and preferred armed weapons. She was also relatively strong-looking. On the first night of the wedding, she beat the groom to death.
, saying that it hurt her. The next day, the groom's officer, who had been beaten with a bruised nose and face, was so angry that he invited Yan Yun and others to drink. During the dinner, he complained bitterly, saying how could he be the groom's officer if he didn't hurt her? Just before the big guy
When the whole room burst into laughter, the newlywed lady came. She grabbed the brother by the neck and carried him away like a chicken. She also shouted that he would not be allowed to fool around with these bad friends here in the future. From then on
, this brother was so speechless that he couldn't hold his head up, and he didn't get together with Yan Yun and others much.
When Yan Yun talked about this past event, she was holding Zoe's hand and admiring the plum blossoms in the courtyard. She chuckled, and the plum blossoms on her face reflected the red color.
On the fourth day, Yan Yun got up early and went to visit his father-in-law Zuo Gao, telling him that he was going on a long trip.
Yan Yun's destination is the royal city. The mansion of General Wuwei was raided and beheaded. Has anyone restrained himself? Where is he buried? As a son of a man, of course he has to go back to pay homage to his mother. There is another reason why he did not tell Zuo Gao, and that is Di You's death.
What kind of role did his father Di Gong play in the catastrophe in General Wuwei's Mansion? Di You came to break off the engagement because of his promise to Yan Chang. People of the Yan family cannot die in such an unclear manner.
At this time, Zuo Gao also changed his behavior as an old fox and sighed. At the same time, he apologized to Yan Yun, saying that he forced Yan Yun to get married, which was indeed inappropriate. He hoped that he could understand a father's good intentions and let Yan Yun pay homage to his parents' grave.
Burn a stick of incense for him beforehand.
Yan Yun hopes that Zuo Gao will help him with a few things. First, he is a legal person who can carry iron guns, iron maces, strong bows, and daggers. These are very eye-catching weapons and are easy to be questioned. Although the Dayu Dynasty did not
There is no restriction on civilians carrying weapons for self-defense, but civilians generally use simple knives to chop wood and defend against wolves, but it is far from enough to fight with them. Secondly, it is a piece of customs clearance document used for official duties. Once you have an identity, you cannot run around.
Especially when entering the royal city, official documents need to be written clearly. Third, a good horse, transportation, etc. Yan Yun mentioned these items once before, but he is not as thorough as he is now.
Zuo Gao agreed without hesitation, and gave Yan Yun the title of detective, gave him a token to prove his identity, and drafted an official document himself, meaning that a major murder had occurred in Taiping County, and Detective Yuan Tai was ordered to apprehend the prisoner.
If you encounter difficulties, you can ask for assistance from colleagues in other counties or prefectures, etc.
After these things were done, Zuo Gao told Yan Yun to be extremely careful when entering the royal city, and to stay in the dark as much as possible. After paying homage to the young and old of the Yan family, go back quickly and try not to contact old friends in the past, especially not to visit Yan.
Colleagues before Chang's death, so as not to expose their secrets and get burned.
When Zoe heard that Yan Yun was leaving, and heading to the dangerous royal city, she burst into tears and hugged him without letting go.
Yan Yun consoled him by saying that the royal city was the place where he grew up. He was naughty when he was a child, and every corner was clean. If he left after worshiping, nothing would happen. Besides, Fenglin was heavily blocked by the Qiang people.
Even if Du himself broke through, the security of the royal city would not be so tight.
Women always have some blind trust in men who brag, not to mention that she has seen this man's ability with her own eyes. After Yan Yun's soft persuasion, she finally nodded in approval, just hoping that Yan Yun could wait for two more days.
She was sewing a coat for him and was almost finished.
Only then did Yan Yun remember that he and Zoe had hastily married, and he had nothing to offer her, so he went to the market town to search, and finally found a craftsman's shop, customized a pair of long-life locks, and asked the shop to
Rush the work and finish it as soon as possible. The next day, when Yan Yun hung the longevity lock on Zoe's tender neck, she was extremely happy. She stood on tiptoes, held her head high, and took a bite on his chin.
.
It was twilight, the ice and snow had not yet completely melted, and with the cold night, the ice slag on the ground was like sprinkled salt grains, making a crunching sound when stepped on.
The market town has not yet woken up from a night of cold, and there are only five people walking slowly along the silent long street.
Yan Yun led a tall horse, immediately placed his luggage, guns, bows and arrows and other items, and walked side by side with Zoe in front.
Zoe's eyes were reddish and there were tears on her cheeks. Like all wives who send their husbands away from home, she always had an inexplicable worry in her heart.
Behind them are Zuo Gao, his wife and Zuo Ziang.
The road went one step after another, from the street entrance to the official road, and then to the inn.
"Madam, don't send me off. Go back. It's only more than ten days' journey to the Royal City. Even if I'm delayed in the Royal City for ten and a half days, it's more than enough for me to come back and celebrate the New Year." After Yan Yun finished speaking, he said goodbye to Zoe, his father-in-law and others.
"Zi'ang, take your sister back." Zuo Gao ordered.
Zoe heard that her father had spoken. No matter how reluctant she was, it was time to let go. She held her head high and said, "General, come back soon..."
Yan Yun smiled and said, "I know, this is my home."
Yes, home, a person may have many residences in his lifetime, but there is only one home.
Yan Yun's former home, General Wuwei's mansion, is gone. His current home is in Taiping County, in the arms of a woman named Zoe.
Zoe smiled, waved her hand, and ran towards her parents with Yan Yun's promise to "home".
"Brother Yan, I just suddenly remembered and want to tell you something." Zuo Ziang suddenly said mysteriously.
"What?"
"It's not a big deal. Before I returned home from Yanguan, when I was drinking with others, someone said during the dinner that the royal city was haunted, and it was so miraculous..."
"Do you believe what I said at the wine table?"
"I don't believe it, haha, I just mentioned it casually to you." Zuo Ziang also thought this was pure nonsense, and walked together with his family with a smile.
Yan Yun stood on the roadside, watching Zoe and his party, and from time to time, he saw her turning back and waving.
Yan Yun responded with a smile, then got on the horse, lifted the reins, and whipped the horse.
The horse was a good foal, and his feet were very fast. In a matter of seconds, he arrived at the foot of a large mountain covered with frost and snow. Taking advantage of the gap before entering the mountain, he looked back and saw that there was no one in the fertile field under the sun. He ate a
Startled, pick up the reins.
Under the bright sun, the outlines of Zoe and his party appeared again in the wisps of golden light. Yan Yun only felt it was funny. He had been fooled by Zuo Ziang. The so-called haunted king city was the one he had cast in Yan Yun's heart in advance.
Shadow. He was so familiar with this place that he was sure that Yan Yun would look back before entering the mountain. The sun's rays would hit his eyes easily, causing him to stop his horse.
"Brother, have a safe journey!" Zuo Ziang's echo came from the valley, accompanied by a long smile after a series of successful tricks.
"Have a safe journey..." Yan Yun smiled and galloped towards the mountain road leading to the royal city.
