Tongshu with Mei

Half an hour later, the people on both sides fought their way through the blood of swords, swords and shadows, and finally met successfully.Bei Chenqing looked up and saw Yang Xi, Dama rushed to his horse amidst the chaos of fighting, turned over, fell to his knees, choked up with sobs, and said: "His Royal Highness Zhao, I am late, I have caused you to be like this!" Suffer! If there is something wrong with His Highness, I will not just live by it!" There was dust and blood on his face, and suddenly he broke down in tears on this battlefield, adding a few vertical and horizontal tear stains.Yang Xifei got off his horse, pulled him up from the ground, and said in a gentle voice: "What nonsense are you talking about, we are still alive and well! Hurry up and wipe away the tears, and wait until we get rid of the pursuers!" He lowered his voice and said, "Don't cry , The face is not good-looking when it is painted, and others will laugh at it."

Bei Chenqing wiped away his tears with his sleeves, Yang Ye rushed forward and said, "Yunqi, don't be nasty, hurry up and protect your brother and rush out!" Bei Chenqing didn't have time to say more, and he and he guarded Yang Xi and rushed out Go, the rest of the lieutenants and others will cut off.

After finally rushing to the area outside where the number of enemy troops was dwindling, Bei Chenqing gathered the remnants of the defeated soldiers. The heavy casualties this time were unexpected.Bei Chenqing always took good care of his soldiers, so he couldn't help comforting them with all his heart.

Seeing that Bei Chenqing was busy, Yang Xi asked, "Yunqi, what happened to the ambush soldiers on the cliff?"

The situation on the cliff was chaotic, and some soldiers and horses fled here and there scatteredly. Bei Chenqing called a few school lieutenants and asked them clearly.It turned out that he himself was guarding the valley entrance and waiting to meet Yang Xi. The ambush soldiers on the cliffs on both sides were attacked by two soldiers and horses who were lurking up quietly. He threw a big stone and rolled a log, but he didn't know that there were Zhao Wang's men and horses below. When he found out, it was too late to regret.

Then the two sides had a quarrel and began to fight. The soldiers on King Zhao's side heard more than soldiers and saw that it was Wei Mengduo's soldiers and horses.Then there was a scuffle, due to the narrow terrain, it was inconvenient to escape, both sides suffered heavy casualties, only a few escaped.

Yang Xi listened silently, pondered for a moment, stretched out his hand to grab Yang Ye's hand, and said, "Yun Qi, come here."

Bei Chenqing followed, and the three of them walked to a place where no one was around. Yang Xi said: "The other party has completely grasped our whereabouts and schemes, and came prepared. Counting the time, when the three of us discuss this matter in the account, the news may It leaked out."

Bei Chenqing glanced over the dozens of Yang Xi's bodyguards.At that time, there were only these guards outside the tent, who guarded the Chinese army tent in shifts.Yang Xidao: "The little wolf has been leading them all the time. Be careful in the future to see who it is."

Yang Ye nodded, and the three of them tacitly didn't want to bring this matter up, so they stopped talking about it.Yang Xi looked at the panic-stricken soldiers behind him, and said, "Let's go on, hurry up and join General Yuan. The matter has come to this, I guess General Yuan's life will not be easy."

His deduction is very accurate, Yuan Ouming was also ambushed, but on flat ground, and the cavalry he brought was extremely brave, and Yuan Ouming was specially ordered by Yang Xi to preserve the strength of the cavalry. First things first.Therefore, he threw part of the food and grass on the road, blocking the way of the ambush soldiers, and took advantage of the time when the enemy was robbing the food and grass, and fled with the troops, so the strength of the troops was not lost much.

When Yang Ye heard that nearly half of the food and grass that he had worked so hard to grab had been taken away, he jumped in anger.Yuan Ouming showed no sign of guilt, and said flatly: "I was entrusted by His Highness, and the most important thing is to preserve my strength. It's useless for you to complain about me."

Yang Ye said: "I don't blame you, I don't blame you, if you don't have to eat, your wife will try her best to make a small fuss for you, what should we do? Damn, I've lost my mind and went crazy, how can I treat my daughter-in-law for no reason? I gave it to you?! From now on, I will eat with you every day!"

Yuan Ouming knew that he was just venting, so he ignored his clamor and rode away on his own.

At this time in the early winter, Yang Xi and his group fled to the south, but were intercepted several times by Wei Mengduo and Jin Yaren, and fell into a situation where there was no way out, there were pursuers, and food and grass were in short supply.Because on Lord Cen's territory, he didn't dare to plunder from the common people casually. He wanted to collect food and grass, but he didn't have any silver in his hands, and his life became more and more difficult every day.

After thinking about it, Yang Xisi said: "Little wolf, let's take General Xiao Chu with me, and I will go to Chang'an in person to see Lord Cen. Yun Qi, you and General Yuan will last for a few days, and we will come back as soon as possible."

So Yang Xi and Yang Ye took Chu Fengyao and a group of guards, disguised as ordinary merchants, and went to Chang'an.

The scale and equipment of Chang'an City is not much worse than that of the capital Luoyang. The Cen Palace located in the center of the city is no different from a small imperial palace.Yang Xi knew an official who used to go to the capital often, a military inspector under Cen Wangye, and the two had some friendship.But at this time, the Military Superintendent heard that His Royal Highness Zhao Wang, who was in the midst of a rebellion, had come to find him, he hesitated for a while, and felt very embarrassed.

Yang Xi waited patiently at the concierge, but the military inspector never came out to see him.In the past few days, as Lord Cen's birthday was approaching, the curfew was lifted in Chang'an, everyone found an inn to stay at night, and came to wait the next day.On the third day, Wu Jiansi couldn't take it anymore and came out to meet him.

Yang Xi stopped talking, and directly explained his intention to meet Lord Cen secretly. The Military Superintendent sighed: "His Royal Highness Zhao Wang, I heard that General Beichen under your command has already been here twice, and Lord Cen even refused. Let's meet. Now even if you go down to lobby, you are just asking for trouble. And I heard that you not only robbed food and grass in Xiazhou, but also captured Princess Dacen's fiancé. Princess Dacen was very angry about this. Cen Wang Ye is just such two princesses, he treats them more preciously than his own eyeballs. Seeing the princesses are angry, can he still feel better? You better not be embarrassing."

Yang Xi hurriedly said: "That's it, my little brother is ignorant, and he offended General Chu in a moment of impatience. Now he has repented and followed me to Chang'an purposely to plead guilty to Lord Cen. In addition, we also We brought a congratulatory gift dedicated to Prince Cen's [-]th birthday, and we also brought General Xiao Chu, and we will definitely return it to the Great Princess in its entirety. So please be flexible with the Military Superintendent." After saying this, he quietly put a silver ticket into the The sleeve of Wu Jiansi.

The superintendent glanced at Yang Ye, who looked embarrassed behind him, and said with a dry smile: "His Royal Highness Zhao Wang is polite, then well, if you really bring General Xiao Chu, let the officer try."

After Wu Jiansi entered Cen Wang's mansion, within half a day, there was a result.

It was not Prince Cen who had the result, but Cen Wenjiang, the princess. She asked Yang Xi to meet her in a courtyard in the south of the city and return Chu Fengyao quickly.

Yang Xi couldn't help feeling uneasy when he heard the words, because Prince Cen had no heirs, so this great princess was raised as a man in Prince Cen's mansion, a figure who could block half the sky, she might be able to make any decisions on behalf of Prince Cen.But hearing the tone of the messenger, the princess was very angry, so Wang Zhao brought General Xiao Chu to negotiate, but the result is still unpredictable.

Feeling anxious, Yang Xi rushed to the other courtyard with Yang Ye, Chu Fengyao and others.There are many guards in the courtyard, guarding at every level.Just after entering the door, Chu Fengyao, who was full of grievance and anger, was picked up by several people who looked like housekeepers.Seeing that the real master hadn't been seen yet, Yang Ye was determined not to let him go, but under Yang Xi's gesture, he finally gave in.Presumably, Princess Dacen ignored him so much, but this hot potato must be returned, so they let them go.Then, following the lead of the guards, the crowd bypassed several long corridors and came to a wide flower hall, saying that the princess is waiting inside.Yang Xi brought Yang Ye in, and the guards including Wei Linxian waited outside the flower hall.

On the left side of the entrance to the flower hall, there is a large pear wood screen, on which several clumps of beautiful cannas are embroidered, and colorful butterflies are dancing around the flowers.Behind the screen is a slim figure.Yang Xi took a few steps forward and bowed to salute. Seeing the figure move slightly, there was a ringing sound, and Cen Wen and Jiang returned the salute, and a soft and gentle voice came out: "Is His Royal Highness Zhao Wang outside?"

Yang Xi hurriedly said: "It's Xiao Wang, it's a great honor to be summoned by the princess."

That Cen Wenjiang chuckled faintly, his mood was unclear: "Really? I don't know that His Royal Highness King Zhao condescends to ask to meet the slave family. What advice can you give?"

Yang Xidao: "I don't dare to give advice. The princess must understand Xiao Wang's situation, because he was forced to offend General Chu a few days ago while he was in poverty, and he regretted so much. So today he brought his younger brother here to plead guilty and ask the princess to punish him." .”

Cen Wenjiang said indifferently: "Xiazhou robbed food and imprisoned Chu Fengyao. I don't blame His Highness for anything. I only blame Chu Fengyao for being useless and letting others take advantage of the loopholes. Even if he punishes, the slave family only punishes his own family. , I’ll punish him later. You don’t have to be polite, your lord, if you have nothing else to do, then please go ahead.”

After she spoke a few words, she opened her mouth to push people away. Seeing that the opportunity was rare, Yang Xi naturally refused to be pushed away easily, and continued cheekily: "Wait a minute, princess, Xiao Wang, as a junior, heard that Lord Cen's [-]th birthday is coming soon. I specially prepared a congratulatory gift, and please don't dislike the crudeness of the Lord Cen and the princess."

Cen Wenjiang gave another faint chuckle: "Is it possible to prepare a congratulatory gift in the face of hardship and displacement? If His Royal Highness King Zhao converts the congratulatory gift into military pay, I think it is more appropriate."

Yang Xidao: "Prince Cen's mansion is located in Guanzhong and is rich in the world. Naturally, he will not take Xiao Wang's congratulatory gift seriously, but as a junior, he has to show such small thoughts. The last time Xiao Wang was lucky enough to see the prince, he was still It has been eight years since the imperial brother's enthronement ceremony. I miss you so much, so can you allow Xiao Wang to visit the prince in Cen's palace?"

The slender figure behind the screen moved slightly, as if he was slowly approaching the screen. After a while, Cen Wenjiang said: "Your Highness is very kind, but it is disrespectful. But my father is sick in bed and has not seen outsiders for a long time. As a daughter, the slave family I should share my father's worries, but sometimes I feel that I have more energy than energy, so there are some miscellaneous things, if I can save it, I will save it. Please don't make it difficult for me. The slave family is just a weak girl in a boudoir. If you delay for a long time with outsiders, The reputation of Yu Nu's family is damaged. Therefore, please come back, Your Highness, come and see off the guests!"

Following her instructions, several servants on both sides came over and said, "His Royal Highness, please."

No matter how thick-skinned Yang Xi was, he had no choice but to resign at this time, and was sent away by Princess Dacen just like that.

When everyone left the gate of the other courtyard, Yang Ye was so depressed that he couldn't express it. He looked at Yang Xi beside him. Yang Xi's face was also gloomy, so he said bitterly: "Brother, this woman is so powerful. Weak girl in the boudoir? Heh heh... What a weak girl in the boudoir!"

Yang Xi let out a long sigh when he heard the words, and was speechless.Wei Linxian and the others followed silently, Yang Xi turned his head and said, "Wei Linxian, you go back to the inn to rest, and Xiaolang and I can hang around casually."

The two watched the guards go, and Yang Xi took Yang Ye's hand and wandered around the streets of Chang'an.There are people coming and going in front of me, bustling and bustling, and there are many avenues, but where is my road?

He pondered for a moment, and said: "Little wolf, on Lord Cen's birthday in two days, won't he entertain his officials? At that time, we will get in no matter what, and let's see how he dismisses it." He suddenly turned his head and looked at Yang Ye laughed and said, "Actually Princess Dacen is quite interesting, have you noticed? I also have more than a dozen imperial sisters, but I don't have such a powerful girl."

Yang Ye said: "Isn't the Ninth Princess amazing?"

The nine princesses Yang Mei and Yang Ye fought when they were young, and now he still has a bitter heart when he mentions it.Yang Xi glanced at his angry face, and said with a smile: "She's just rude and rude. You're also fierce, fighting with girls, and I haven't seen you showing any mercy."

Yang Ye snorted, but didn't answer.When it was getting late, there was a restaurant not far in front, with the words "Peifeng Restaurant" written on the golden signboard.He seemed to have vaguely heard of the reputation of this restaurant in Chang'an in Luoyang. It is said that the dishes in the restaurant are exquisite and the wine is mellow.Yang Ye is a lazy master, so he said: "Brother, you have nothing to do, I'll treat you to a drink."

Yang Xi doesn't like to drink by nature, but he thinks that Yang Ye's nature is fun and playful, and he has been with him for a while, eating and sleeping, and living in a precarious situation, and he has really wronged him, so he said: "Okay, then brother treats guests, and I won't let you spend money."

The two entered the restaurant and chose an elegant seat by the window. After the bartender served the signature wine and dishes, the two brothers began to have a drink.

During the banquet, Yang Xi was full of sorrow, and Yang Ye was also full of sorrow, unknowingly drinking too much.It was convenient for Yang Ye to go out. On the way back, he passed through a long corridor. On one side of the long corridor was an elegant room divided into rooms, and the voice of someone's voice could be heard from time to time.He walked around two colonnades, looked up, and suddenly inadvertently saw a slender figure flashing into an elegant room at the end of the corridor in front of him.

The back figure was somewhat familiar, Yang Ye stopped, feeling puzzled.After a while, a flash of inspiration flashed in my mind, and I remembered it.

He stood blankly under the porch for a moment, came back to his senses, and ran all the way back to his seat, leaned close to Yang Xi, and said in a low voice: "Brother, you go back to the inn first, I found an old friend, I have to go Meet him!"
