After a while of exchanges in the hall, Song Quan went out and shouted at the door, "Lao San!"
Soon, a man who looked somewhat similar to him walked over quickly. It was Song Yanqing's father, Song Shu.
After entering the hall and receiving some explanations, Song Shu quickly left again.
Returning to his own house in the mansion, as soon as he entered the house, he said to the old servant who greeted him: "Let Yan Qing come to see me."
The old servant was a little confused: "The young master is not at home, he went out to meet friends." He didn't know where Song Yanqing went to hang out, and it was probably in those places.
"Come back and see me immediately!" Song Shu said without any doubt.
The old servant could only obey and leave.
Song Shu stood in front of the lampshade candlelight, staring at the candlelight and fell into silence. His face was dark and gloomy, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
A full hour later, Song Shu was disturbed by the sound of hurried footsteps outside. He came back to his senses and turned his head to look, only to see Song Yanqing coming in a hurry to greet him, "Dad, do you have anything to do with me?"
After Tang Yi got married, the Shangqing sect lost all attraction to Song Yanqing, and he returned to the capital not long after he stayed.
Song Shu looked up and down and saw that there were still traces of powder on his cheeks that had not been wiped clean. He immediately scolded him angrily: "I spend all day hanging out in romantic places. Fang'er comes to me crying every three days. Use this time to practice hard."
Better than what?"
The so-called 'Fang'er' in his mouth was Song Yanqing's wife. Soon after Song Yanqing returned to the capital, the Song family got him married.
Song Yanqing lowered his head and muttered: "You're so ugly. I said I didn't want to marry you at the beginning, but you have to force me."
"Why is it so ugly? Isn't it just that I'm a little fat?" Song Shu glared, pointed at his son's nose and cursed: "I'm warning you, her father has tens of thousands of elite troops from the capital on his hands, and he has the support of a spiritual sect behind him.
, you should be polite to others, I really want to make your grandpa angry, you know the consequences yourself!"
"Yes, yes, I understand." Song Yanqing gave a helpless smile and said, "Dad, let's get down to business. What do you want from me?"
Song Shu calmed down and said in a deep voice: "You should pack up immediately and return to the Qing Sect as soon as possible..."
"Ah!" Song Yanqing suddenly raised his head and said with repulsion: "I won't go! That shabby place is deserted and deserted, and people are almost stupid. Dad, with all due respect, the Shangqing Sect is of no use anymore, and it is easy to get into trouble if you get involved.
, I just can’t figure it out, how could you become a disciple of the Shangqing Sect in the first place? Isn’t this causing trouble for yourself?”
Song Shu was silent for a moment and then said slowly: "Now that the matter has come to this, I might as well clarify something with you. Back then, King Ning Shang Jianbo was invincible in all battles, his army was invincible, and he was powerful among all the countries. He was the most important minister of the Yan State.
He has the potential to be a prince. When Yan was founded, the founder of the Shangqing Sect made great contributions and was granted the title of Imperial Master. It can be said that the Shangqing Sect has always had friendship with the Yan royal family. Shang Jianbo has always had a good relationship with the Shangqing Sect.
For this reason, your grandfather asked me to go to the Shangqing Sect in order to help the Song family have a way out. Unexpectedly, there was an unforeseen situation. The late emperor suddenly died of illness, and his last edict was actually passed down to the current majesty. So far, the situation of Shang Jianbo
It took a sudden turn for the worse and ended up like this."
Song Yanqing suddenly realized it and muttered to himself: "Grandpa is really insidious. He has been on both sides of the fence a long time ago..."
Song Shu was furious when he heard this, "What did you say?"
"Nothing, nothing!" Song Yanqing quickly waved his hand, "I mean, shouldn't we keep a proper distance from the Shangqing Sect? Why are we still allowed to go to the Shangqing Sect?"
Song Shu said in a deep voice: "Shang Chaozong will be released from prison tomorrow!"
Song Yanqing said strangely: "I heard about this, what does this have to do with me going to Shangqing Sect?"
Song Shu: "The imperial court has just made a decision to drive the Shang Chaozong out of the capital and to the fiefdom. Judging from the route, I am afraid that it will pass through the Shangqingzong area. After you go to the Shangqingzong, you must warn the Shangqingzong.
You can’t send a mage retinue to him!”
Song Yanqing chuckled and said: "How big of a deal is it, do you need me to run so far? Just summon the Shangqing Sect directly. Besides, it's too late for the Shangqing Sect to protect itself. Even if I don't say hello, I probably won't dare to send anyone.
give him."
Song Shu glared and said: "You know nothing! Since the founding of the Yan Kingdom, the Shangqing Sect has been closely related to the royal family of the Yan Kingdom. I am afraid that the relationship with Shang Jianbo is not just Dong Guo Haoran. Tang Mu is dying.
This can be seen from the sudden change of direction in passing the throne to Dong Guo Haoran. I suspect that the water in the Shangqing Sect is not that clean, and there may be some that have not yet surfaced. Under the current situation, other sects do not dare to send people to protect the Shang Dynasty Sect.
Yes, the most likely one is the Shangqing Sect. Letting you go to the Shangqing Sect is not only to warn the Shangqing Sect not to send people to the Shang Chaozong, but also to keep an eye on the Shangqing Sect! The Shang Chaozong was released from prison and left the capital. News
Once it comes out, some sediment may appear. After you go to the Shangqing Sect, you must pay attention to whether there are any abnormal movements in the Shangqing Sect. If you find anything, report it immediately. This is your grandfather's wish."
Song Yanqing said with a bitter face: "Why bother? Besides, the phoenix of the Shangqing Sect today is worse than a chicken. Even if they send people to the Shang Chaozong, they can't cause any trouble. The Shang Chaozong has no military power.
, Grandpa is too worried, in my opinion it is better to have the Shangqing Sect destroyed directly to save trouble."
Song Shu said coldly: "The centipede insect is dead but not stiff, let alone Prince Ning, who had the power of the Yan Kingdom's army! Naturally, your grandfather has his own considerations for doing this. This is not something you should worry about. I warn you,
This is no child’s play, your grandpa won’t be able to spare you if something happens!”
Song Yanqing felt a chill go down his spine. He was quite afraid of his grandfather, and he wouldn't dare to breathe when he saw the atmosphere...
The sky is slightly white, and outside the prison, there is a carriage, and the driver is waiting quietly in front of the carriage.
A handsome-looking middle-aged man with a goatee and a blue vest was hovering next to the carriage. He looked somewhat elegant and looked towards the Tianlao gate with his deep eyes from time to time.
It wasn't until the morning light began to bloom and the first brilliant golden clouds appeared in the sky that there was any movement in the prison, including the sound of iron chains clanking on the floor.
The groom and the middle-aged man looked back suddenly.
After a while, the door of the Tianyao opened with a bang, and a tall but skinny young man in ragged clothes was pushed out of the Tianlao by a group of people. He was walking barefoot with shackles on his hands and shackles on his feet. Although he looked very embarrassed,
But his eyes are bright and lively, his back is straight, and he looks like he would rather break than bend.
This person is none other than Shang Chaozong, the youngest son of the late Yan State Great Sima Ning Wang Shang Jianbo!
The grooms and middle-aged men who were waiting outside the prison hurried to greet them, but were stopped by the guards. They could only watch anxiously.
Shang Chaozong was detained and stopped. Someone came forward and opened the shackles on his hands and feet. Then someone came forward with documents and ink pads.
After Shang Chaozong put his fingerprints on the document, the cell leader Fang raised his hands and said with a smile, "Congratulations, Your Majesty, you are finally free."
Shang Chaozong glanced at him sideways, without saying a word, and walked forward slowly with bare feet.
As soon as he came out of the warning range, the middle-aged man and the groom came forward to salute, and they were both too excited to speak.
Zong of the Shang Dynasty nodded to the groom, then smiled at the middle-aged man and said, "Mr. Laolan will come to pick you up personally."
The middle-aged man's name is Lan Ruoting. He is said to be a relative of the Shang Dynasty clan and the cousin of the Shang Dynasty clan's mother. Because of his talent and intelligence, he was spotted by Shang Song's advisor, the master, and was accepted as a student, taking him with him to teach Tao strategy. Five
Years ago, his division was killed along with Shang Song and others, so he basically took his division's position in the palace.
Lan Ruoting was speechless and couldn't speak. He stared at Shang Chaozong's wrists and ankles. The flesh in those two parts had been worn away and suppurated. This was the result of being shackled for a long time. His body exuded a stench.
Coupled with his shabby appearance, it can be seen that he has suffered many crimes over the years.
This is not how a prince should be treated! His lips trembled, and he tilted his head and said, "Hurry, help the prince get into the car." The groom hurried over and helped him from left to right.
"You can't fall down, but you can walk!" Shang Chaozong pushed his hands from left to right and refused to let him help him. He walked to the carriage and climbed up.
Lan Ruoting followed and got in.
As soon as the carriage left, a homing pigeon immediately fluttered its wings and flew into the sky.
The carriage trotted smoothly through the streets of the capital. Lan Ruoting, who was accompanying him in the carriage, checked Shang Chaozong's injuries, then stopped and said, "I'll give the prince a bath to heal his wounds after I find a quiet place."
"It doesn't matter, I've been here for so many years, I don't care about this little time." Shang Chaozong said, stretched out his hand to open the curtain and looked outside, and found that it was not the way back to the palace.
Lan Ruoting explained: "Your Majesty has a decree that the prince is not allowed to stay in the capital and will be sent to the fiefdom of Canglu County immediately."
"I know, the prison has already listened to the decree." Putting down the curtains, Shang Chaozong turned around and asked, "Has the cause of father's death been found out?"
Lan Ruoting shook his head and said: "This matter is very strange. We don't have any clues so far. We only suspect the man in the palace, but we don't have any evidence."
Shang Chaozong was silent for a while and then asked: "How is Qing'er? My father has repeatedly told us brothers before his death that we must protect Qing'er."
Qing'er's name is Shang Shuqing, and she is his sister and the only daughter of Shang Jianbo. Shang Chaozong originally had two brothers. The eldest brother died in the battle, and the second brother died with his parents a few years ago. Now they are the only one left in their family.
They are two brothers and sisters. Three years ago, he found someone molesting a good girl, so he stepped forward to stop him and accidentally beat the person to death. As a result, the matter became a big deal. All kinds of criticisms came in like a tidal wave, rattling into the audience.
It was only after he was imprisoned that he realized that he had been framed by someone. The prince's title he inherited was deprived of his hereditary rights, his position was dismissed, and his title was reduced to that of a county prince. He has been locked up in the sky prison until now, and no one is allowed.
Visit in prison.
Lan Ruoting said with relief: "Your Highness, don't worry, the princess is hiding in a safe place and you can see her when you turn around."
Shang Chaozong nodded slightly, as if he was relieved, and then frowned and said: "There is something that I am quite puzzled about. In the prison, people kept asking me, asking me to confess the 100,000 'crow generals' in my father's hands."
His whereabouts are puzzling to me, sir, do you know what’s going on?”
Lan Ruoting sighed, "I did this, and it caused the prince to suffer."
