Fu Di and Zhu Yi's explanation for their coming to Youzhou is very simple. After the news of the peace talks was released some time ago, Youzhou began to call on the people to return to Youzhou to live or do business. Even though the inspection is still very strict, it has been allowed. The people can enter.

At that time, they just had the attitude of coming to Yuzhou to have a look. They didn't expect such a thing to happen that night.

Under the big tree, Ning Yu, who was dressed in light white linen, fell to the ground, and when the men in black almost fell with a knife, they finally arrived in time to prevent the tragedy from happening.

What the two of them tacitly didn't say was that they went to Baiyu Village to inquire about the whereabouts of Ning Yu and Zheng Xiujie, and they learned from the family of Zhu who rented Zheng's orchard that they would go north, so they came all the way.

"Fortunately, you were there that night, so Ning Yu didn't encounter any accidents. Come, our three brothers toast you."

Zheng Xiuyuan raised his wine glass, and the second and third child also stood up.

"This time we were able to escape from death by a narrow margin. There must be good fortune in surviving a catastrophe. Let's all have a toast."

The third child spoke very boldly, and Ning Yu was also infected by his tone, stood up and picked up his wine glass.

"Cheers to the future!"

Ning Yu happily raised his wine glass, his cheeks were dyed crimson.

"cheers!"

Although Li Yang didn't know what they had experienced, he was so moved by the excitement and enthusiasm of the crowd that he picked up his glass and drank with them.

During the period, everyone also teased that the second child didn't even marry the princess, which is really courageous.

Li Yang's ability to drink was not good at all, and he was carried away by the housekeeper after drinking a few glasses of wine. Only Ning Yu, Fu Di, Zhu Yi and the three brothers of the Zheng family were left on the table.

The rest of the people were still holding the wine jar and drinking non-stop, Ning Yu and Zheng Xiuran sat directly on the ground, leaning against each other and talking nonsense.

"Ning Yu Ning Yu, you know... hiccup... do you know why I don't marry the princess? Hiccup..."

"Hehehe, why... why... oh... I see, you have someone you like, don't you, haha, I guessed it right."

"Yeah, Ning Yu, you guessed it right... hiccup... the person I want to marry is very good-looking, especially good at cooking..."

"Hahaha, second brother, I want such a good girl too, how did you find her, I will go too..."

Ning Yu, who was so drunk that he couldn't open his eyes, started to gossip, and he tried to hold on to a little bit of consciousness to hear Zheng Xiuran's story.

"I didn't look for her, she looked for me. The first time I met her, we had a fight, and I hurt her. Later, I climbed onto her bed and was kicked." down..."

"Second brother... oh, you are too impatient, how can you do this..."

"Later, I got along with her for a long time, and I found that she was kind and cute, which made my heart beat involuntarily.

We were separated for a while, and when I saw her again, I couldn't believe my eyes, thinking it was a dream. "

"Hehe...Second brother, you are really..."

"Ning Yu, I want to tell you that the person I want to marry is..."

"Huh...huh..."

Zheng Xiuran looked at Ning Yu who was already asleep on his shoulder, opened his mouth, and swallowed the last sentence.

"I'll carry him back to the room."

After listening to the conversation between the two, the boss saw that Ning Yu had fallen asleep, so he came over and took Ning Yu away.Zheng Xiuran, who was still sitting there, lowered his head in a sense of loss.

After the boss left, Zheng Xiujie suddenly sat next to the second brother. He patted his second brother on the shoulder and said, "Second brother, I'm just like you, oh."

"Wash up and go to bed."

Fu Di and Zhu Yi were puzzled by the behavior of the two brothers, but seeing that Ning Yu had left, they had no interest in staying here and drinking, so they went back to their rooms.

Here, the boss carried Ning Yu back to the room, put him on the bed, wiped Ning Yu's face and hands with a wet handkerchief, and at the side of the bed, looking at Ning Yu with a blushing face, rubbed him lightly with his hands. Look at his soft cheeks, his eyes are full of tenderness.

He was about to leave when someone grabbed him by the corner of his clothes.

Ning Yu in his sleep thought he was dreaming of Zheng Xiuyuan again, he opened his eyes slightly, saw the boss who was about to leave, sat up all of a sudden, hugged the boss' waist, and said in a crying voice;

"Don't go, brother Zheng, don't go, don't you want me?"

My brother doesn't want him anymore, and now even Brother Zheng doesn't want him anymore. Are you going to leave him too?

Hearing Ning Yu's pitiful voice, Zheng Xiuyuan couldn't bear it, he comforted Ning Yu softly,

"I'm not going, I'm here."

Zheng Xiuyuan took advantage of the situation and sat on the edge of the bed, Ning Yu threw himself into his arms, trembling slightly all over.After a while, the boss felt that Ning Yu was motionless again, as if he had fallen asleep.

"Ning Yu, are you asleep?"

Just as Zheng Xiuyuan wanted to pull Ning Yu out and put him on the bed, the drowsy Ning Yu subconsciously tightened his arms, and Zheng Xiuyuan didn't dare to move.

Helpless, the boss could only hold Ning Yu and lay on the bed in this position. He touched Ning Yu's long hair in his arms, pulled the quilt, and the two hugged tightly and fell asleep.

Three days later, the prisoner's health was much better, and Li Yang proposed to start the interrogation.

At the beginning, the leader was still stubborn and refused to say a word, but after Zheng Xiuyuan said something to Li Yang, Li Yang put on an official look and said:

"It's okay if you don't say it, but don't you think about your family? Even if you die here now, how can Liping let them go. If you don't die, we will put you back. Are you sure you can continue to live?"

"Why don't we cooperate, tell me what Liping gave you, and I will send someone to protect your family."

"Think about it, let's go."

When the leader heard Li Yang say this, his expression suddenly became flustered. It doesn't matter if he dies, but his wife, his daughter...

Seeing that Li Yang and the others were about to leave, he struggled for a while, and stopped Li Yang who was about to step through the door.

"and many more."

The leader sighed, and explained Liping's order to them in detail.

Sure enough, as Zheng Xiuyuan and the others expected, Liping ordered these people to poison the bonfire first to paralyze all the soldiers, and then took the opportunity to capture General Wu alive, with the purpose of making him call out the soldier talisman.

All of them pretended to be Pingyue people, trying to make everyone mistakenly believe that Pingyue people did it, so that the two countries could not negotiate a peace, and the war would continue, and Yuzhou, as a military center, has a steady stream of people All financial and material resources will be shipped.

The owner of Yuzhou City has been guarding the border for many years, and has never had a chance to get so much wealth.

If it weren't for the court giving so many resources after the war broke out, he might be willing to be poor and stick to Youzhou for the rest of his life.

But he has already tasted the sweetness brought by the war, how could he let it go so easily.

"At that time, I had already reported to the city lord that the mission failed, but he still asked me to go back and make the final blow to General Wu."

General Wu died in such an unexplained manner, but maybe at the last moment, he thought of something, so he quietly handed something to Zheng Xiuyuan.

Shocked, Li Yang immediately wrote an official document and memorial, and sent it to the palace quickly.

One day later, the emperor issued an order, ordering Li Yang to bring Zheng Xiuyuan and his party into the palace immediately to face the saint.

Li Yang brought the three brothers of the Zheng family, Ning Yu, Fu Di, Zhu Yi, and the leader into the palace. They knelt in the hall and told about what happened in Yuzhou City.

Zheng Xiuyuan handed over something, and there was an uproar in the court.

It was the tiger talisman that could command one hundred thousand soldiers and horses.

He revealed his identity as General Wu's lieutenant general, but he was framed by an adulterer and died tragically. Before he died, he secretly handed over the tiger amulet to him.

Now that I am face-to-face, I dare to take it out.

The very majestic emperor looked at the accusations made by the people below the steps against the Lord of Youzhou City, and even the murderer who killed General Wu as a witness, and was furious.

This is not a trivial matter, now that Youzhou is so important, if Liping is really such a person who mediates disputes between the two countries for his own benefit, he must be eradicated immediately.

Zheng Xiuran saw that the emperor was very angry, after thinking about it, he straightly raised his head to remonstrate.

The emperor still had an impression of Zheng Xiuran, this year's No. [-] scholar, he rejected the marriage with the princess, and was demoted to Anping as a small magistrate by him.

"Your Majesty, I dare you, if Liping is summoned like this, he will never admit it."

"Then what can you do?"

"Weichen has a way."

Liping was very flustered by the emperor's urgent summons, when he arrived at the palace, it was midnight, and the emperor had rested at this time, ordered the palace staff to arrange him to rest in a palace, and summoned him tomorrow morning.He looked at the cold room with some fear in his heart.

When he heard the little eunuch who served him say that this palace used to be the cold palace where the abandoned concubine was held, there were people who died, and it was often haunted by ghosts, and his legs were already a little trembling.

"This father-in-law, can you change my room?"

"Lord Li, I won't say much about the small place in the imperial palace. The villain also listens to the arrangements of the higher-ups. You can't change it if you want. I'm sorry, Lord Li."

"Okay, Master Li, it's getting late, you should rest first."

He silently prayed to Bodhisattva and Buddha to bless him in his heart, and climbed into bed tremblingly, not daring to turn off the lamp.

At night, when a gust of wind blew, Liping opened his eyes vaguely, and found that the candles had been extinguished, and the huge palace was full of coldness.

Liping had a ghost in his heart, and was suddenly awakened by the thoughts in his mind, and he stared at the door tightly.

Suddenly, the door was opened, white smoke drifted in, and a woman in white clothes with disheveled hair floated past the door.

"Well--"

Liping covered his mouth, not daring to shout, for fear of being discovered.

At this time, there were sounds outside the palace, as if thousands of troops were fighting, and there were all kinds of screams.

This made City Lord Li, who had experienced the war, immediately recall the tragic situation of those soldiers.

He was even more frightened. Suddenly, he found a familiar figure at the door.

The man was dressed in white, his chest was blood red, his face was covered by his hair and he couldn't see clearly, but Liping could vaguely see from the white beard that it seemed to be the dead General Wu.

"Give me my life—give me my life—"

"Ahhh-"

Hearing General Wu's thick voice, Liping was terrified and cried out.

"Why kill me—say—say—"

"If you don't say it, you will pay for it—"

The ghost claw gradually approached, and Liping was frightened by the loud roars. He had always believed in bodhisattvas and ghosts. He couldn't bear such questioning, and he was afraid to tell everything.

"General Wu, I'm sorry, I was wrong. I was obsessed with ghosts, I was greedy for money, and I had bad intentions. I sent my own bodyguards to kill you and pretended to be the enemy. I captured your lieutenant general, but they have already escaped." It's none of my business, General Wu, I was wrong, I was wrong... please forgive me!"

It wasn't until after Liping finished speaking that he realized what he had revealed. He covered his mouth and looked at the "General Wu" in front of him.

The ghost claw stopped in front of Liping, and "General Wu" suddenly laughed.

"Come out."

Suddenly, many people poured into the entire palace. They all held candles, illuminating the gloomy palace just now as if it were daytime.

Zheng Xiuyuan took off his long hair, tore off his "white beard", looked at Liping who was full of astonishment, and said hello,

"City Master Li, we meet again."
