Chapter 43 The Trip to Chang'an

Shen Yufeng avoided his gaze, helped him to the couch again, and said, "You should rest first."

Without waiting for Yun Lian to speak again, he left the guest room directly.

He went downstairs along the wooden ladder, the innkeeper raised his head when he heard the voice, saw him, and took out a bulging cloth bag from under the counter: "Guest officer, all the dry food you asked for is ready for you. "

Shen Yufeng responded: "Okay." He went to the well in the backyard to fetch some water, cleaned his hands, went back to the lobby on the first floor, picked up the dry food that the boss had prepared for him, and saw the shopkeeper lowering his head and flicking his abacus. After thinking for a while, he took out another ten coins from his pocket, "Boss, please prepare me another carriage."

"Okay." The shopkeeper took the money, and responded bluntly, "I'll do it for you." Immediately, he called the waiter who was cleaning the table to go to the stable in the backyard to take a carriage to the front door.

Shen Yufeng went upstairs with the bag of dry food, ready to get the packed luggage. As soon as he went upstairs, he saw Yun Lian standing at the door of the room, with long hair half up, a white dress hanging loosely on his body, and his head bowed His mood was waning, as if he was still immersed in the situation just now.When Yun Lian saw him go upstairs, his eyes lit up, and then he lowered his head as if realizing that his eyes were too eager.

When Shen Yufeng walked over, he suddenly said, "Yu Feng, I have something to tell you."

Shen Yufeng walked past him and said flatly, "There's nothing to talk about between us."

"Yu Feng!" Yun Lian turned around and called him, "Calm down! The Sixth Prince will not let everyone in Zizai City go just because of a mere snow ganoderma!"

Shen Yufeng said seriously: "If the sixth prince doesn't agree, I'll go and snatch him out!"

Yun Lian continued: "Chang'an is at the foot of the world, the city is guarded by heavy soldiers, and there are dignitaries everywhere. You are alone, without the cooperation of others, it is impossible to rescue people!"

Shen Yufeng heard his subtext: "Do you want to help me?"

Yun Lian paused, and quickly replied: "I didn't say that."

Shen Yufeng walked back to his room: "Then there's nothing to say."

Yun Lian saw that he was out of water and fire, and said, "Yu Feng, you—you know, Chang'an is the boundary of my Yun family. When the time comes, whether you want to save people or inquire about news, you will definitely need the help of the Yun family!"

Shen Yu did not return the limelight, turned his back to him, and said, "And then?"

Yun Lian heard that he had been calm all the time, so she couldn't help being anxious: "You reconcile with me, and I will help you save people!"

Seeing that Shen Yufeng hadn't turned around, he lowered his voice again: "Actually, you still care about me, don't you? Since you helped me just now... I know that there is still a chance between us."

"No need," Shen Yufeng shook his head and said, "You once said that we are not the same people after all."

He entered the wing room and started to pack his luggage. Yun Lian walked in beside him and asked in a low voice, "That ledger is in your hands, right?"

Shen Yufeng paused, nodded: "Yes."

"The Sixth Prince has power over the imperial court, but he may not be able to cover the sky with one hand in the imperial capital. This account book that records his many criminal evidences is his greatest threat. If you want to save people, you can only start from this aspect."

"What do you mean?" Shen Yufeng finally looked back at him.

Yun Lian felt his eyes return to him again, and then he relaxed, and smiled at him slightly: "No matter how noble the prince is, he is just a prince. Can he be bigger than the emperor?"

Shen Yufeng couldn't help being startled when he heard the words.

That's right, the prince is powerful, but no matter how great it is, it is not as great as the current sage. Besides, he had heard Hong Lian say before that the purpose of their brothers and sisters coming to the Central Plains was to present the evidence of the sixth prince's collusion with the enemy into the palace, so that this person down.Now that Yun Lian brought up this matter again, he suddenly realized, as if he had found a ray of light in the confusion.

Seeing that he was deep in thought, Yun Lian said again: "To tell you the truth, when I was in Chang'an, I met the present-day sage several times. If you go to Chang'an with me, I will take you into the palace!"

Shen Yufeng was startled again.

Yes, seeing the current emperor with his own eyes, submitting the account book with his own hands, and exposing the crimes of the sixth prince, isn't it more effective than robbing prisons and saving people?

Perhaps——Zhao Linhuai thought so when he entrusted the ledger to him!

Zhao Linhuai knew that he had no chance to meet the emperor under the continuous pursuit of the sixth prince, so he pinned his only hope for the rest of his life on Shen Yufeng, hoping that this kind and righteous young man could help him realize his long-cherished wish and publish the evidence of his crime , Get rid of the big villain, the Sixth Prince.

At the same time, as long as the sixth prince is convicted, Hong Lian can be rescued.

He suddenly realized, and then he was overjoyed, but he was not overwhelmed by the sudden joy, because he still clearly remembered that it was the person in front of him who made troubles in Zizi City several times, and at the same time prevented him from saving the brothers and sisters of the Zhao family. Now, why did you suddenly offer to help him save someone?

He didn't ask, but just looked over with heavy eyes.

Yun Lian lowered his eyes, and rarely hesitated: "I, I just want to reconcile with you. I have no other intentions. If I secretly bring you into the palace, the sixth prince may not find out that I did it. Besides, the sixth prince stays in Zizi. Cheng’s subordinates all died in that cave, he didn’t even know that we would go back to Chang’an together.”

Shen Yufeng looked at him for a long time, confirmed that he was not lying, relieved himself, and nodded: "Well, now you want to help me, not me begging you to help me."

"Of course." Yun Lian raised his head and met him, "I will prove to you that I am the one you need most!"

The two took a step back and reached a brief peace. Shen Yufeng told Yun Lian to pack up his things and set off with him. He took his bags and went downstairs, and went to the gate to wait.

When Yun Lian packed his luggage, he went downstairs slowly. When he saw the carriage in front of him, his eyes suddenly trembled, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, even the carriage is ready. It seems that Master Shen really can't wait to see you." Where is that red pity girl!"

Shen Yufeng, who was sitting in front of the car door, was taken aback for a moment when he heard his sudden eccentricity, and then quickly realized it.

The carriage was prepared before their conversation. He was concerned about Yun Lian's physical condition and wanted to take him back to Yun's house, so he told the shopkeeper to prepare the horse.

He knew that Yun Lian had misunderstood, but he didn't bother to explain, he raised the rein and said, "I can't fall in love."

Yun Lian stood in front of the car, turned his head, and said coldly, "I won't get in!"

"This carriage is not prepared for me. If you are in a hurry to see that girl, just go first!"

Shen Yufeng didn't understand where his dislike for Hong Lian came from, but said in a deep voice, "Are you really not up?"

Yun Lian met his eyes, hesitated for a while, then shook his head violently: "No!"

"Okay!" Shen Yufeng jumped out of the car, and under Yun Lian's astonished eyes, he directly touched the four big holes around his body, then grabbed the man by the back collar like an eagle catching a chick, and threw him into the car.

"Woo--" Then he jumped on the car door, drove the carriage, and walked away along the trail left by the Fang brothers.

***

It was already ten days later when we arrived in Chang'an.

As soon as Shen Yufeng arrived outside Chang'an City, he received a letter from the Fang family brothers, saying that they had found out about Hong Lian and Shi Fengting, and arranged to meet at a restaurant in the east of Chang'an City.

After Yun Lian heard about it in the carriage, he also came to participate in this matter.

Shen Yufeng took his weak body into consideration, and didn't want him to continue running around: "Go back to Yun's house first, I'll come to you after discussing with them."

"I won't reveal your whereabouts," Yun Lian retorted instead, "Why, is there anything you don't want me to know?"

Shen Yu took the risk and was angered by him again. His good intentions did not please him in the eyes of this person, so he could only say coldly, "It's up to you."

He drove a carriage, went through many inspections, and entered the bustling Chang'an City. According to the information given by the Fang brothers, he came to a restaurant in the east of Chang'an City.

Walking up to the restaurant, the Fang brothers had been waiting on the top floor for a long time.

They changed their appearance, dressed up as two old men, and specially reserved the top floor of this restaurant. When they saw Shen Yufeng going upstairs, they immediately got up and respectfully said, "I've met Master Shen."

When they saw Yun Lian behind him, their expressions changed, and they each drew a knife and a sword from their waists with a "huh".

Yun Lian chuckled suddenly: "I followed Hero Shen upright."

Shen Yufeng nodded and said, "He's here to help us, put away the knife first."

He briefly explained the situation to stop the Fang brothers' imposing manner.

The Fang brothers took up their weapons unwillingly.

They ordered a table of refreshments and wanted to invite Shen Yufeng to be the host, but Yun Lian took the first seat, took the white porcelain cup, and poured himself a cup of Biluochun.

Shen Yufeng glanced at him indifferently, and asked the Fang family brothers: "What's the situation now? Where were Hong Lian and the others escorted?"

The Fang family brothers withdrew their staring eyes at Yun Lian, and explained the current situation to Shen Yufeng in detail.

After the two brothers separated from Shen Yufeng that day, they inquired along the road where Shi Fengting and Hong Lian were escorted. After learning of their whereabouts, they followed them all the way, and at the same time left Shen Yufeng with directions on the way.When they arrived in Chang'an, they entered the city first, looking for an opportunity to send a message to Shen Yufeng in the city, and meet him.

Shen Yufeng frowned after hearing this, and asked, "In other words, they haven't entered the city yet?"

"The news I found out is that today, the east city gate entered the city." The Fang family brothers said, "They should be here in a while."

They waited in the restaurant for less than half an hour, and sure enough there was a lot of noise coming from downstairs.

Then, there was the sound of soldiers dragging the ground and rattling chariots and horses.

Standing on the top floor, Shen Yufeng looked down from the high window of the restaurant, and saw a long team of officers and soldiers, with flags flying, fighting mightily, riding military horses, passing through the downtown streets.

Surrounded by the team was a prison wagon made of refined iron. In the prison wagon, Hong Lian and Shi Fengting were sitting close together, and they were still wearing their wedding clothes.

Her eyes were closed tightly, tears were still on her face, her head was hanging on Shi Fengting's shoulders, her red wedding dress was full of dirty marks, she was much haggard compared to when they first met.

A pity suddenly rose in Shen Yufeng's heart. If he knew that the farewell under the city tower that day would be the last regret, then he would run to rescue the Zhao family brothers and sisters regardless.

That day when Hong Lian ran out to bid him farewell, did she want to keep him, or did she want to tell him the truth?

Did she know about the collaboration between Zhao Linhuai and Shi Fengting?

Is she willing to marry Shi Fengting, or just to listen to her elder brother?

He suddenly had the urge to rush out to save people.

Yun Lian took a sip of tea, and said leisurely, "They should have come from the official road in the south, and they were escorted to the Wangfu on Fengchang Street. They deliberately bypassed the east of the city and swaggered through the city, just waiting for fools Take the bait."

Hearing this, he calmed down, sighed deeply, and watched the team pass by the door of the restaurant.

"Why, haven't you seen enough?" Yun Lian sneered.

Shen Yufeng turned a deaf ear and continued to look down at the team below. Suddenly, he was caught by the last familiar figure in the team.

He frowned: "Isn't that person from Tianluo Palace?"

The brothers of the Fang family knew that he was not asking themselves, and did not respond, but Yun Lian, who was asked by him, replied with a soft hum, obviously not believing what he said.

Shen Yufeng said helplessly: "I didn't lie to you, you will know when you come over and take a look."

The last rider following this convoy was Piluo from Tianluo Palace, and beside him was riding a middle-aged man with a sick face. Shen Yufeng took a few glances and remembered that this person was Shi Zhan from Tianluo Palace. .

These two belong to one of the four evil spirits of Tianluo Palace. Since Shen Yufeng killed Ding Fan on the border of Sichuan and Shu, the two of them returned to Tianluo Palace to retire together with a masked old man. The sixth prince's subordinates mixed together?

Just as he was wondering, he turned around and saw Yun Lian who was walking to the window with a surprised expression on his face, and asked, "Why did they appear here?"

"I don't know." Yun Lian shook his head.

Shen Yufeng looked at him quietly.

Yun Lian suddenly sneered: "You don't have to look at me like this, if you don't know, you don't know, I wouldn't lie to you about such a trivial matter."

Shen Yufeng turned his head and said lightly: "I don't believe you."

He waited until the team finally passed through the busy street and disappeared from sight, and said, "Now, take me into the palace and find the emperor."
