Chapter 34 Chapter Thirty-Four

The night is gradually escaping, and the first ray of morning light shines in the east. Mo Yan slurped away and didn't return all night, Li Chengcai was originally calm, but at this moment he couldn't hold back his anxiety, and gently patted Zhemiyi who was snuggled by his side in the night. Zhe Miyi yawned, rubbed his eyes, stretched his limbs, and lifted the curtain of the carriage——Shen Zhenzhu was still asleep in his clothes.Looking at the path in the forest again, he suddenly called out in surprise: "Chengcai, Khan is back!" Shen Zhenzhu didn't fall asleep all night, Fang dozed off for a while, then woke up immediately.

The birds in the forest were chirping and flying away in all directions. Under the shadow of the sun, they walked silently and striding forward, as if there was a huge monster under their shoulders. Zhe Miyi and Li Chengcai went forward with three steps and two steps, and Li Chengcai asked, "What news did you hear?" Mo Yan smirked, threw the things under his waist on the ground, and made a loud noise: "Ask him, and you can know everything!" Li Chengcai leaned down and saw that this "huge monster" turned out to be a person—a big, tall man Mingguang is heavily armored, look at the color of the uniform, the official rank is not small, he rolled on the ground, his eyes were wide open, but he didn't make a sound.Asked: "Khan, who is he?"

Mo Yan tapped his toes casually, unlocked the man's sealed dumb acupoint, and said with a joking smile: "This man is Xue Song, the new Yasukuni general from An Lushan. An old thief's internal affairs and foreign affairs, you can ask him as you like." Can." Mo Yanchuo went deep into Chang'an City alone this time, following the purpose of capturing the thief first and capturing the king first.First, he pretended to be a watchman and entered the city. After entering the city, he found out that the capital of Huihe was insignificant compared with Chang'an.The planning of Chang'an City is strict, and the layout of the squares, streets, and cities is similar. He walked around and almost lost his way, but finally approached the palace. Without Li Chengcai's guidance, he dared not venture into the palace. A key official can not only inquire about the important military affairs of Chang'an, but also get a token to leave the city safely.

This Xue Song was very unlucky, in the evening Fang Lingzhi accepted the seal of "General of the Yasukuni", and rushed into the palace to thank him. After leaving the palace, his entourage complimented him with "General", and asked Mo Yanchu to keep an eye on him.Although Mo Yanchuo did not dare to enter the palace lightly, entering and exiting Xue Song's mansion was like entering an uninhabited land, so he restrained Xue Song while he was changing clothes.An Lushan enforced a stricter curfew in Chang'an City than Xuanzong did, so he was unable to leave the city that night. In the early morning of the next day, he silently ordered Xue Song to prepare a carriage, took the token, and walked out of the city gate swaggeringly.After several miles out of the city, he abandoned his carriage and carried Xue Song to the forest to join Li Chengcai and Zhe Miyi.Although there were dangers in the process, Xue Song was greedy for life and afraid of death, so he cooperated with silent sips everywhere, so that he could take advantage of it.

Xue Song's complexion was ashen, he no longer had the majesty of a "great general", his body was only trembling, obviously very scared. Moyan sipped his hand and said to Zhe Miyi: "Go get the pen and paper." Zhe Miyi took the pen, ink, paper and inkstone according to his words. Mo Yan took another kick, kicked Xue Song's upper body acupuncture points away, and said, "Quickly draw the garrison pictures of Chang'an and Luoyang." Xue Song was sweating profusely. Sipping on the means, I thought to save my life first, everything can be discussed, so I started to write and draw on the spot.Thinking about painting, he held Yu Moyan's hand for a while and said: "The young general has finished the painting, please take a look at it." He couldn't figure out Mo Yanchu's identity, and saw that his martial arts and courage were like a heavenly man, and his appearance was slightly similar to that of people from the Central Plains It's different, remember that Xue Hongxian said in the past that there are many strange heroes in the Tianshan Mountains outside the Great Wall, so they are called "heroes" to win favor.

Mo Yan sipped open one of the pictures, looked at it twice, frowned and crumpled the picture, and shouted: "You general, you probably don't want to live anymore!" Pointing to a place in the picture, he said: "This is obviously a private house. How can you garrison three thousand soldiers? Don’t blame me for killing you with one sword and capturing another person to paint!” It turned out that Xue Song thought he was smart and deliberately altered the situation of the garrison troops. Unfortunately, his ink was limited and he couldn’t hide it from the shrewd Mo Yan. sip. Xue Song's hand holding the pen was trembling, and he turned his heart to the side, thinking that this picture is dead, but people are alive, as long as they can save their lives, are they afraid that they can't be redeployed again?Zhe Miyi rubbed his ink with a smile, and saw him take a piece of paper again, thinking about writing, drawing circles, fiddled for a long time, and finally drew two pictures again.

Mo Yanchu felt a little satisfied, and asked Xue Song about An Lushan's preferences, internal affairs measures, military strength, food and grass, etc. Xue Song knew everything at this time, and only hoped to get out sooner. Mo Yan glanced at him, and said: "General Xue is cooperative, so let me spare you!" Xue Song was overjoyed, thanked him again and again, and looked forward to Mo Yan Chuan's acupuncture points on his lower body. "It's just that, since I have made a move, none of my subordinates has ever retreated completely." Mo Yan glanced at Xue Song's lower limbs, Xue Song's whole body was cold, and he said, "Well, you leave a pair of legs here." While speaking, he winked at Zhe Miyi.

Xue Song was so frightened that he was paralyzed, as if he couldn't even say a word of mercy. Zhe Miyi has followed Mo Yan for many years, and has already understood his meaning, and shouted beside him: "Master wants to cut off this man's leg? I'm afraid of seeing blood, so I don't want it!" Mo Yan sipped: "I will do what I say, how can I take it back?" Zhe Miyi made a look of embarrassment, looked at Xue Song, then at Mo Yanshui, and said: "My lord, I don't think this general is a treacherous person, let me ask him for a favor, if He can still reveal some important confidential matters, so don’t cut off his legs.”

Mo Yan looked at Xue Song disdainfully, and said, "What other secrets can he know?" Xue Song, however, grasped at straws and desperately searched for the "secrets" he knew. In fact, he was clumsy and not trusted by An Lushan. Except for the garrison matters that he had to know, the "secrets" he knew It was indeed very limited, racked my brains to think about it, but there was nothing to say, and a flash of inspiration flashed in my anxiety, and said: "I know a secret - Princess Guangping of the Tang Dynasty is not dead yet!" Li Chengcai's shock was no small matter, he stepped forward and grabbed his collar and said, "What did you say? Princess Guangping is not dead?"

Mo Yan Chuan smiled slightly, cut off his question, and said: "This is not a secret, what else is there to say?" Xue Song was immediately discouraged.There is no half of the rich family, and the Tianjie is full of public servants. After An Lushan's army entered Chang'an City, the number of princes and relatives killed was not small. It is not a big deal whether a princess is dead or not. This person paid attention, lowered his head, and said casually: "It seems that Princess Dening of the Great Tang Dynasty was taken captive, and it's not the time to cut out his heart and liver to sacrifice to Anqingzong, let alone it is not a secret."

Shen Zhenzhu's mind exploded, she sat far away in the car, she only suspected that she had heard wrong. Hearing Li Chengcai ask in amazement: "Didn't Princess Dening go to Lingwu with the army? How could he be captured? Don't you want to bluff!" Xue Song observed the words and expressions, and knew that he wanted to save his own life, so he was on the "Princess Dening", and hurriedly replied: "I don't know about that. I only know that this time Fangguan led the troops to attack Chang'an, and the princess Dening was in the army. He came here and was captured by the King of Jin." Shen Zhenzhu held on to the wall of the carriage, unable to restrain the horrifying and severe pain as if her viscera were dislocated, unable to sit still, the carriage seemed to vibrate with her heartbeat. Poor Nai'er, keep her thoughts from Li Chu, Shen Zhenzhu from her, everyone in the world, but she can't lie to herself.Why did she come to Chang'an with the army?Is it for An Qingxu's marriage, or to confirm her own heart?How embarrassing is this situation, actually falling into the hands of the enemy.An Qingxu is no longer what he used to be, how could he be sympathetic to her, how could he be merciful! Xue Song babbled on to explain.In fact, when the city of Chang'an was destroyed that day, Anlu Mountain had already started killing to avenge An Qingzong. Princess Huo Guochang and her son-in-law were killed in Chongrenfang, their hearts were dug out alive, and they were taken out to pay homage to An Qingzong. Eighty-three members of Yang Guozhong and Gao Lishi's relatives were slaughtered with their brains open, and blood flowed everywhere.The next day, more than 20 people including the emperor's grandson and the royal princess were killed.In the past, the golden branches and jade leaves were withered and no one asked.The capture of Princess Dening this time coincided with today's Anqingzong's birthday sacrifice, and it was like a treasure, so An Lushan planned to preside over the ceremony himself. Gouging out the heart and gouging out the liver, gouging out the heart and gouging out the liver! Xue Song's words, Li Chengcai's questioning, and silently sipping voices have all become empty echoes. In the hazy time, Li Ruo's clear and crisp laughter fell through the high clouds, far away, lingering and hard to go . During the spring outing, Li Ruo held a bouquet of daisies in her hand and ran on the grass covered with colorful dewdrops. The green grass glowed with emerald green light, and the gulls and sparrows flew back and forth, calling "sister-in-law, sister-in-law" to her. At the time of giving birth, she had already collapsed, but she was the only one who held her hand tightly: "I swear—" Shocked, Shen Zhenzhu stretched out her hand to lift the curtain of the carriage, but when she heard "Huo", the curtain had already been pulled up - the person in front of her was majestic, like a god, the morning sun shone into the carriage and projected onto his face, softened his harsh lines. She froze, looking up at his face, psychedelic intertwined, all kinds of feelings arose, she was choked and speechless for a moment. Thousands of sails have been exhausted, why is it always him in the most dangerous time. She didn't want to owe him or bear him, but fate pushed him to her side again and again. He leaned down naturally, held her hand that had stopped in mid-air, tightened tightly, pressed his lips tightly, and hesitated to speak.After a long time, he suddenly raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Finally willing to see me?" Her face was pale, but there was a smile on the corner of her mouth, hiding the tears in her eyes, she withdrew her hand, and looked at him, "Aren't you afraid that I will beg you and disrupt your plan?" Mo Yan was stunned for a moment, stopped smiling, and said slowly: "As long as you are willing to say it, I will definitely do it." Shen Zhenzhu shook her head, "It's too unfair to you, you don't need to do this." A ray of sadness flashed across Mo Yan's eyes: "Then you just watch your sister-in-law die?" "So I beg you to help me—as long as you rescue Princess Dening, you can ask me anything." Mo Yanchu glared at her: "What do you think of me, Mo Yanchu, that I would threaten, lure and coerce you for such a thing?" "I just want to make myself feel at ease." Shen Zhenzhu suppressed the discomfort in her chest, with unyielding calmness in her eyes. "Okay, okay", Mo Yan took two steps back, nodded and said in a loud voice: "You can feel at ease, with this appearance, but still so conceited and arrogant, this is the genuine Shen Zhenzhu!" Li Chengcai who was on the side was even more shocked when he heard this sentence, and asked: "Shen Zhenzhu? She, she is the King of Guangping—" Before he finished speaking, Mo Yanchu said in a cold voice: "Okay, I promise you. Wait I've saved someone, so I'll make a condition with you!" There was a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, seeing in Zhe Miyi's eyes, he knew that he was extremely sad. Li Chengcai looked around, couldn't figure out what was so important, but he knew that he could not rescue Li Yu with his own skills, so he couldn't say anything harsh, so he looked at Zhe Miyi suspiciously, Zhe Miyi shook his head slightly, feeling sympathetic. Mo Yan took a few steps, kicked the acupoints of Xue Song's lower body, and asked, "Where is the sacrifice?" Xue Song's lower body was still numb, barely stretched, and replied: "Yes, yes... in the Taimiao." Mo Yan looked at Li Chengcai with a questioning look, and Li Chengcai said: "The Taimiao is in the imperial city. It can be reached by walking a hundred meters after entering the city from the Anshang Gate. As long as you can save people, it is easy to kill the palace gate." An Lushan entered Chang'an Afterwards, all the ancestors of the Li family enshrined in the Taimiao in the imperial city were naturally "invited" out of the Taimiao, and replaced with the tablets of his family ancestors. Mo Yanchu said to Xue Song, "You take me into the Taimiao of the imperial city!" Just as Xue Song stood firm, he couldn't help but be tongue-tied: "This, this..." Mo Yan sipped and said: "You general, you definitely can't do it." Based on what he originally thought, he never intended to take Xue Song's life, but just frightened him to get the garrison blueprint.Then he threatened Xue Song with the garrison blueprint, telling him not to tell An Lushan that he had been captured for drawing the picture after returning home. Xue Song had to be coerced by him to let the garrison blueprint play its utmost role. big effect.However, when the matter of Princess Dening happened, and Shen Zhenzhu asked for help, this matter is no longer possible, Xue Song's identity cannot be preserved, and this garrison map will become waste paper in an instant. This is what Shen Zhenzhu called "the plan." "Disrupted. Li Chengcai calmed down, knowing that this is not the time to be long-winded and hypocritical, he smiled and stepped forward to pat Xue Song on the shoulder: "General Xue, you drew such a picture, are you afraid that we will take a copy of it in front of An Lushan? For the current plan, you might as well take the opportunity anyway, if you help us rescue Princess Dening this time, His Majesty the Tang Emperor will be happy, and maybe you will also be named a general of the Yasukuni, wouldn’t it be more legitimate than An Lushan’s canonization!" Hearing this, Xue Song thought again, thinking that this was indeed his "great fortune in misfortune". An Lushan was irritable and suspicious, and he had come to this point, so he could only grit his teeth and obey, and said with a mournful face: "Whether you should be a general or not is still up to you." Secondly, I just ask the two heroes to spare Xue some life." Li Chengcai laughed, "As long as you are obedient and obedient", he lowered his face, "If you want to play tricks behind your back, you also know our methods. If you want to escape your own life, if you want to take your life at that time, it's just a matter of little effort!" Xue Song's expression changed, it should be so. Shen Zhenzhu urged: "It's not early, why don't you enter the city earlier to prepare!" Mo Yan looked around and said: "Chengcai, let's go!" He returned to Chang'an City this time, and he had already observed the general terrain. Although this place is on the road west of Chang'an, it is far away from the road, and it is difficult for soldiers to patrol back and forth , there are few people in a radius of more than ten miles, and it is daytime, Shen Zhenzhu and Zhemiyi hide here, it should be safe, don't worry about it like the night before. Shen Zhenzhu watched Mo Yanchu and his party go far away, let out a forced breath, fell heavily on the carriage, and couldn't help panting. Zhemiyi turned around anxiously: "There is no medicine, what can I do, what can I do?" Shen Zhenzhu panted and explained: "No, don't... worry, I'll lie down for a while...it will be fine naturally."
