One of the female generals of the Yang family

【Chapter 44】Unexpected joy Qin Xue Qin Feng

Yang Xun took a step forward, lowered his eyes and pondered, and finally said in a slow voice: "Yelumu sent the letter together."

Yang Tai's hand brushing Hua Jieyu's hair on the temples paused slightly, his eyes caught a smear of crimson under her neck, he exhaled lightly, and said in a low voice, "You just need to know, you don't need to tell me."

"Brother, you can get over this hurdle, Hua Niang." Yang Xun spoke hesitantly, not like before.

A gust of wind suddenly hit the wooden window, causing a momentary shock, and then quietly disappeared.Yang Tai didn't speak, looking at the sleeping person with closed eyes in front of him, he seemed to think of what she would look like in the future, Yang Tai frowned worriedly, and stretched out a hand to Yang Xun, "Bring it here."

"Brother, this letter cannot be kept." Yang Xun handed the letter to Yang Tai, and slowly turned and left.

Yang Tai held the letter tightly all the time, but he didn't lift it up to read it.Time seemed to condense in an instant, and the two figures in the room looked extremely calm, one was breathing steadily, the other was deeply asleep, everything looked beautiful and unnatural.

In the tent of the Liao army, Nanguer stood in front of Yeluquan and replied: "One of the captured Song soldiers is Yang Shun's deputy general named 'Zoge', and the others are unknown soldiers. They often stay with Qin Xue Xu Mo, who was with him, died on the Gobi."

"Kill them all." Yeluquan sat on the couch with a tired look, beside Qin Xue's changed clothes and the bow and arrow she hung, Yeluquan knocked them to the ground, and said coldly: "It's all burned. "

"Yes." Nan Gul bit his lips and picked up the things and carried them into his arms. He was about to turn around when he remembered something and looked at Yeluquan, "Prince Yelu captured Hua Jieyu into the army yesterday, and sent him away early this morning. go back."

"Is it alright?" Yeluquan looked indifferent, slowly got up, walked to the side of the sand table, and crushed Yongze's sand sculpture with his palm.

Nan Gul bowed his head, "I was drugged last night, and she has become Prince Yelu's person. When I sent her back today, the medicine had not yet dissipated, and Prince Yelu gave her the paralyzing black grass, which made her fall asleep all the time. .”

"Does the Yang family know?" Yeluquan still looked calm.

"Prince Yelu paid a letter and sent it to Lin Zhuang together. I think Yang Tai already knows that Hua Jieyu is not complete."

Yeluquan nodded and waved his hand to signal him to back down, but he remembered the night with Qin Xue in his heart, and his anger came to his mind, and he suddenly knocked the sand table in front of him to the ground.

The news of Pan Shan's death spread to the capital. Pan Mei, who was standing on the side of the hall, slowly raised her head, ignoring whether Song Zhenzong would be angered. Say, who died in battle?"

"Hui, Hui Dai Guogong, Pan Shan, Mr. Pan, died for the country." The messenger repeated.

Pan Mei felt her eyes go dark, her feet went limp and she fell to sit in the hall.

"Hurry up, quickly help the Duke of Dai to rest in the palace." Song Zhenzong was heartbroken at the loss of his son, and did not pursue his rudeness, so he ordered his servants to help him down.Pan Mei's face was silent, and she was led out of the hall expressionlessly.Yang Ye felt more guilty than anyone else. His children were all intact and ready to return to Beijing, but Pan Shan was missing.

"Yang Ye led the decree." Li Fu's voice came from the hall, "Yang's family is loyal and brave, and we will share our worries for the country." What Li Fu said, Yang Ye could no longer hear clearly. He recalled the scene of Pan Mei fainting just now, Sighing lightly, she knew in her heart that this was about to end with the Liangzi of the Pan family.

In the territory of Liao Kingdom, Empress Dowager Xiao ordered Yeluquan and Yelumu to withdraw their troops and return to Liao.In this Liao-Song battle, both sides suffered losses. It seemed that the battle was a draw, but in fact, the Song Dynasty suffered the heaviest losses.Yeluquan was still unwilling, but he couldn't openly disobey Yelulongxu's will, so he had to bring Meng Zhe back to Daliao.

Now that the Liao Kingdom has withdrawn its troops, Da Song has been able to breathe.

Song Di's grain truck had just arrived, and he was going back to Beijing with the Yang family, as if he had never been here before.

Half a month later, the army set off from Linzhuang. In the carriage, Qin Xue fell into Yang Shun's arms with no expression in her eyes.Her body was already healthy, but after hearing about Pan Shanzhi, her heart was filled with suffocation, which could not be dissipated, and she developed a heart disease, which caused the old wound to be unable to heal for a long time.

Yang Xun sat beside the two of them, feeling a hint of unhappiness in his heart, causing him to keep his eyes closed.Yang Tai and Bai Lu rode their horses in front of the large army and led the troops back to Beijing.Hua Jieyu did not accompany him, and left without saying goodbye three days ago.Yang Yong didn't need to return to Beijing to return to his life, so he rushed to Hua's house to find her for Yang Tai.

The army is almost out of Cangmu Land, and there seems to be something crouching on the extremely far official road, occasionally moving.Yang Tai raised his hand to signal everyone to stop, and ordered Bai Lu to go and check.Seeing that Bai Lu had jumped off the horse when he approached the object, and helped him up in disbelief, Yang Tai squinted his eyes slightly, and saw clearly that the object was a person.

"General." Bai Lu shouted excitedly, "It's Zog."

The army rectified and rested, and Zog was carried into the car. Except for the loss of a left arm, there was no serious injury in his body.He gasped exhaustedly, his eyes were moist, and he looked at the familiar people in the car, almost crying.

"How did you escape?" Seeing him, Qin Xue finally broke the silence for many days, and slowly squatted beside him, grabbing his empty sleeve.

Zoge shook his head hard, and said softly, "Yeluquan ordered people to throw me here and wait for you."

"Yeluquan?" Yang Xun didn't quite understand, and asked, "What does he mean?"

Zog looked at the crowd hesitantly, and replied with a frown: "He wants the Yang family to think of the great war, the humiliation he gave us, and the people we lost every time they see my arm."

Everyone was stunned and silent, the heartache that had faded away and the joy that surfaced disappeared in an instant.Then he thought of the dead Pan Shan and Hua Jieyu who ran away.

"Qin Feng." Zog looked at Qin Xue, "Yeluquan asked me to bring you a message, saying that he would marry a woman named 'Meng Xi', and that the woman was the sister of 'Meng Zhe', the one who killed her. Qin Nan's sister." Zog obviously didn't understand what this sentence meant, so he just conveyed it.

Qin Xue was still squatting, but after hearing such words, she staggered and knelt in disbelief, and was supported by Yang Shun's hand, so she didn't fall down.She clutched Zog's empty sleeve, suppressing the nausea in her heart, and the repressed resentment for several days finally broke out, causing her to spit out a mouthful of blood.

"Qin Xue." Yang Shun wrapped her in his arms and patted her on the back, not knowing how to comfort her.

Outside the gate of Beijing Zhongcheng, there was a neatly lined up procession to welcome the army, and the voices of the crowd were heard one after another.Yang Shun led the troops into the city, his heart was unhappy and his face was as cold as frost.The person sitting in the car had a heavy heart and stared blankly.

Yang Xun was the first to speak up, looked at Qin Xue in Yang Shun's arms, and reminded: "At the court, look at me and speak, don't say too much."

Qin Xue pursed her dry lips, slowly raised her eyes to look at him, and nodded slightly.

"Third brother, are you sure?" Yang Shun held Qin Xue's hand tightly with a worried expression on his face.

Yang Xun looked at the two of them, turned his head to the occasionally floating car curtain, and didn't answer immediately. After a long time, he said slowly: "I have the gold medal for avoiding death."

In the main hall of the Chaotang Hall, Song Zhenzong's voice of praise slowly sounded, and the words did not stop for a long time.Qin Xue stood outside the hall, waiting to be summoned inside, sweating anxiously with her palms, and beads of sweat overflowing her forehead and neck.In addition to being affected by the fact that Yeluquan was going to marry Concubine Meng, at this moment, her mind became a little dizzy.

"Xuan, Qin Xue enters the palace." Li Fu's voice suddenly rose, and the servant next to Qin Xue made a gesture of invitation and reminded: "It's time for the girl to go in."

Qin Xue only felt that her feet were heavy and light, she was a little unsteady, and walked in staggeringly.The silence in the hall was tense, every pair of eyes looked towards her, as if they wanted to see whether she was a man or a woman under her skin.

The elegant white dress fluttered slightly with the movement of footsteps, showing a graceful posture.The black hair was not tied up, and it fell down casually, raising a touch of charm.As always, there is a gentle and soft look between the brows and eyes, full of allure and charm.

Staring at her walking slowly, seeing such obvious female features, Song Zhenzong was really puzzled, he hadn't noticed it before, he sat forward slightly, and looked at Qin Xue's current appearance, as if he had never seen it before. .

Qin Xue glanced at Yang Xun who was nodding slightly to him, stopped and knelt down and bowed, "Minister Qin Xue, see Your Majesty."

Song Zhenzong returned to his cold expression, and asked: "Who is your Highness kneeling?"

Qin Xue was slightly stunned, and then said, "Minister Qin Xue."

"Qin Xue?" Song Zhenzong said deliberately: "Why is it somewhat similar to Qin Feng from the Yang family?"

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. The daughter of the people, Qin Xue, is none other than Qin Feng from the Yang family." She kowtowed to the ground without looking up.

"Interesting, this Qin Xue is a woman, and Qin Feng is a man. You say you are him, but I don't understand it." Song Zhenzong scolded everywhere, but seemed unintentional.

"Your Majesty, forgive me, Qin Feng is a name made up by women of the people to enter the military camp." Qin Xue continued to reply.

There were whispers in the hall, Song Zhenzong didn't care, and continued to ask, "You forgive each sentence, what is the crime?"

Qin Xue paused, looked up at Yang Xun, and saw that he shook his head slightly, so he stopped talking and just bent down on the ground.

"What? You don't even know your sins, and you talk about 'begging for forgiveness'." Song Zhenzong showed displeasure, shook his sleeves, leaned back, and looked at the Yang family, "Yang Ye, Tell me, I don't know if it's Qin Xue or Qin Feng's people, what crime did they commit, why do you want me to spare her?"

Yang Ye bowed and said cautiously: "Qin Xue is a woman, but she entered the barracks, appointed an official and worshiped a general, and deceived her superiors and inferiors. She is indeed guilty."

Song Zhenzong closed his eyes slightly, "Yang Aiqing, what you said is wrong. The wife of your family often enters the barracks, and she was granted a first-rank imperial order by me. If this person in the palace asks me to forgive me for this matter, wouldn't it be too much of a crime?" light?"

Yang Ye bowed again and looked at Qin Xue beside him, "Your Majesty's words are true, but Yang Ye didn't think carefully. The mistake Qin Xue made was to deceive the king and ignore the law of the country."

Song Zhenzong nodded, "According to Aiqing, how to deal with it."

Yang Ye said without hesitation: "The crime should be beheaded."

All of a sudden, the court boiled up, pointing out those who kowtowed to the ground, some who said they were wrong, and some who said credit, and there were mixed praises and criticisms.Qin Xue was indifferent, lying on the ground for a long time, her heart calmed down, and she quietly waited for the Yang family to defend herself.

"Everyone, do you agree with Yang Ye's statement that Qin Xue in this hall deserves to die?" Song Zhenzong's face was pale, but a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Shangshu ordered Yanlu to go out first, bowed and bowed, his voice was loud and clear, "I believe that although Qin Xue was wrong, but the crime is not worthy of death, counting several battles against Liao Dynasty, Qin Xue's achievements are vivid in my memory, Your Majesty can bear it." It is because of her meritorious deeds in defending against the enemy that she is spared the death penalty and only needs to be punished."

"No." Liao Xi, the servant of the Ministry of punishment, disagreed, and bowed his hands: "If this woman disregards the laws of the country and disrespects military discipline because of this woman's small contributions, so that everyone will follow suit in the future, and use this as an example, what should I do?"

"This." Shang Shuling showed embarrassment, looked at the members of the Yang family who did not argue for Qin Xue, and also silenced his voice.

Song Zhenzong got up slowly, walked up and down the high platform, thought for a while, looked at Yang Xun and said: "If I want to give Qin Xue the death penalty, Aiqing will use the gold medal for avoiding death."

Yang Xun knelt down and bowed back: "I will use the gold medal for avoiding death."

Song Zhenzong nodded and said with a smile: "Then it will be regarded as you have used it, and I will not waste my tongue on this purpose."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Everyone in the Yang family knelt down and kowtowed together with Qin Xue to express their gratitude.

"It's just that the state owns the state law, and the family has family rules. Qin Xue's matter can't just be left alone." Song Zhenzong looked at the servant of the Ministry of Punishment, who had a somewhat displeased face, and said, "Liao Xi, tell me, how should I punish him?"

The minister of punishment glared at Qin Xue bitterly, the anger on his face could not be dispelled: "If a person like this who has no law of the country is spared the death penalty, the crime of living should not be too light."

"Liao Xi." Song Zhenzong interrupted him: "Don't forget, Yang Xun has a gold medal from me to avoid death. Not only can he avoid the death penalty, but the life penalty can also be reduced."

Liao Xi frowned slightly, looked at Yang Xun, who was kneeling with a heavy face, lowered his eyes to think carefully, and after a long time, he snorted coldly and smiled, "Then I will punish this woman to go to Daliao to get married."
