Mountain and River Pillow

Vol 2 Chapter 60: (End of 6.26)

    It's Fengling City again.

     Chu Yu was a little surprised when she heard the name. Then, the fog lingered in her heart again, she frowned and couldn't help but said, "What if the girl doesn't go?"

    "Then I will detain you here, I will see if your brother will go!"

    Emperor Chunde sneered: "If you don't go, you can bury Fengling with you!"

     After hearing this, Chu Yu couldn't help but feel even more strange.

    Fengling is a small town, why is the emperor so sure that it will be attacked. Most importantly, why would he consider moving the capital to Fengling?

    And the attitude of the emperor is obviously that he will protect Fengling no matter what. So in the past life, Chu Linyang went to guard the Fengling, was it really just for Chu Jin?

    Also, she thought that this request was bound to be difficult, but she didn't want the emperor to respond after hesitating for a moment. Why?

      , without further ado."

    Chu Yu didn't say much, the emperor was so eager, there was a natural reason for such eagerness, and she really wanted to keep Fengling, on the one hand, she wanted to cut off all the possibility of Chu Linyang going to Fengling On the other hand, Fengling City has repeatedly sent requests for help, and the emperor is so obsessed with this city, there must be his reasons.

    Chu Yu answered, and didn't say much, and returned to the Wei Mansion with a heart.

    Just now she entered the gate of the Weifu, she saw Wei Yun eagerly come over, and said anxiously: "Are you in trouble? What did the old man call you to do?"

    Chu Yu didn't speak, she just walked into the house, she was also thinking about Emperor Chunde's intention, and how she would speak about the expedition was also a problem.

     Wei Yun couldn't help but look more ugly when she saw that she was silent. He followed Chu Yu into the room and saw Chu Yu telling Wanyue and Changyue to start packing, he clenched his fists and said with difficulty: "Even if You think I am a child, but you should also explain to me what happened. After all, I am the little prince of the Wei mansion, you…”

    "I'm just wondering how to talk to you." Chu Yu heard Wei Yun say this, and hurriedly spoke up. As Wanyue Changyue packed her things, Chu Yu turned to look at Wei Yun and sighed. He took a breath and said, "Mother-in-law and my mother are both in the palace now."

    There is a cold light in Wei Yun's eyes: "I know."

    "His Majesty invited me into the palace to make me a hostage..."

    "So why didn't you enter the palace without a word to me!" Wei Yun raised his voice and looked excited: "Where is the mother already, if you are taken away by him, what should I do? !"

    "My mother has a resolute temperament, but she has always done things illegally." In her last life, the Wei family was in trouble, and Liu Xueyang directly raised the sword and fought recklessly and was killed by mistake. It is not weak, but it is reckless. Chu Yu sighed: "I'm afraid something will happen when I'm alone in the palace, so I'm fine. I'm not with me now, but I'm a little worried."

    "You're pretty confident in yourself."

    Wei Yun sneered: "If something happens to your mother, you will be okay?"

    Chu Yu noticed that Wei Yun was unhappy, and she said a little embarrassedly: "I...isn't it good to come out?"

    "What did you promise?"

    Wei Yun said in a cold voice, Chu Yu touched her nose: "I... tonight I will lead troops out of the city to guard Fengling."

    Hearing this, Wei Yun's face changed dramatically. He instructed humanity: "Lock up the eldest lady!"

    Then turn around and walk away.

    When Chu Yu came back, she knew that Wei Yun would never go to him, so she hurriedly said, "Oh, wait a minute, I'm really fine."

    She originally grew up on the frontier. Later, during the six years of the turbulent Da Chu, she and Gu Chusheng ran around the battlefield, Gu Chusheng was in the rear, she was always on the front line, and she could have been a soldier. She chased after him, anxious in her heart, pulled Wei Yun's sleeve and said, "Don't be angry, just listen to me. The place in Fengling is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Your Majesty is obsessed there, there must be his own reasons, plus Fengling. Ling has repeatedly asked for help, and none of the people we sent have come back, so I should have gone to see…”

    The most important thing is that if she doesn't go, the emperor will definitely order Chu Linyang to go.

    Chu Linyang went to Fengling in the last life, she thought it was for Chu Jin, but is there a possibility that Chu Linyang was sent by the emperor in the last life? Or is Chu Linyang going to guard the city himself?

     

    She has worked so hard to change, if she still can't change, what should she do?

    Chu Yu pursed her lips, held Wei Yun's sleeve, and pleaded, "Xiao Qi, let me go over and take a look."

    "Why?"

    Wei Yun turned around and looked at her: "Why do you have to go?"

    Chu Yu didn't speak, Wei Yun frowned, and after a long time, Chu Yu finally said, "I... have my own reasons for going."

    Although she didn't say it clearly, her expression was very firm. Wei Yun looked down and landed on the sleeve she was holding onto him, and the scolding stopped between his lips and teeth.

    Her hands are very beautiful, unlike other women's slender hands, her fingers are very long, with well-defined joints, quite heroic. However, the hand was white and transparent, with a color like jade.

    Wei Yun looked at the hand holding his sleeve, this was the first time she showed such a pleading emotion, he couldn't say anything to refuse.

    After a long time, he slowly said: "If you must go, I will accompany you."

    "No."

      When how?"

    The bottom line of Da Chu is Tianshouguan, they can pretend to retreat, but they are not without bottom line. The Tianshou Pass cannot be broken, because if the Tianshouguan is broken, then the greatest natural danger in Da Chu will be gone. On the contrary, when Da Chu repulsed Bei Di, he had to fight against the Tianshouguan.

    Wei Yun was speechless, Chu Yu smiled and said: "You really don't have to worry too much, I will come back when I see something wrong. And my life is very big, I..."

    Chu Yu said, Wei Yun's eyes fell on her, he looked at the person in front of him, listened to her, his heart seemed very calm, but also seemed very scared.

    The combination of two emotions made him overwhelmed.

    As the ruler of the state, he knew that the frontal battlefield was not in Fengling, and it would be fine for Chu Yu to bring 20,000 soldiers and horses, and before the Tianshou was broken, he had to appease the emperor's emotions and protect the palace His mother was safe, and his family was in Huajing for one more day, and it was more dangerous. It was the most suitable for Chu Yu to lead the troops out.

    But deep down, despite all reason, he always felt that letting her go to any dangerous place alone would make him uneasy.

    Which soldier didn't think he would return triumphantly before going out? Before he and his father and brother went to war, who knew that they would bury their loyal bones in a battle?

    He looked at her quietly and said nothing.

      Wan, come here on an order to assist the eldest lady in guarding the Fengling."

    Chu Yu nodded, raised her hand and said, "General Zhang, please wait outside the hall. I'll come after I wash up."

    Zhang Yun responded, Chu Yu turned to look at Wei Yun, and said helplessly: "Let me tell the truth, whether you agree or not, since I have already complied with Your Majesty, must go."

    Wei Yun did not speak, he bowed his head and said nothing. Chu Yu sighed and turned to leave. Wei Yun followed her footsteps, his eyes slowly moving over. The man's back is firm and resolute, and even if he is a woman, he seems to be standing above the sky.

    Wei Yun felt sore and dry in his heart. Seeing the figure walking farther and farther away from him, he finally understood that he couldn't stop this person.

    He finally said, "You stop."

    Chu Yu paused, Wei Yun looked at her, and said hoarsely: "After you arrive at Fengling, I will send another 20,000 soldiers and horses over there, only defending and not attacking, until I get a handsome man. Yin, take down the Tianshouguan, and I will pick you up."

    Chu Yu was relieved when she heard this, the corner of her mouth raised a smile, but she didn't look back, just said: "Okay."

    After waiting for a while, Wei Yun did not say anything, Chu Yu was about to leave when he suddenly called out her name: "Chu Yu."

    This was the first time he called her name, Chu Yu couldn't help but be a little surprised, she turned around and saw the boy standing in front of the door, standing tall, the night wind was blowing, the lights on the corridor were light Shaking, the light shines on his white clothes, printing a bit of warmth.

    His eyes were calm, like deep pools, he finally made a sound when he saw her look over.

    "You have to come back alive."

    Chu Yu was stunned for a while, and couldn't help but laugh. Just as she was about to say something with a smile, she heard the other person say, "If you don't come back alive, I will slaughter Bei Di all the way."

    Hearing this, Chu Yu was shocked.

    The reason why Wei Yun was called the Living King of Hell in his last life was because he once slaughtered the eleven cities of Beidi.

    He made good use of cavalry in battle, and attacked the city very fast. Before attacking the city, he would ask if he could surrender. After slaughtering eleven cities in a row, Bei Di had no other city to dare to resist. In just two years, Bei Di was completely captured.

    Da Chu was founded for a hundred years, and there has never been such a person with iron and blood.

    She looked at Wei Yun in front of her and felt bitterness between her lips, Wei Yun looked up at her, her voice was calm and cool: "If you don't want to see me like this, just protect me Come back to yourself."

    Hearing this, Chu Yu said with difficulty: "Don't worry."

    Wei Yun closed her eyes, turned around, turned her back and said, "You go."

    Chu Yu lowered her head and whispered, "Take care of yourself."

    After she finished speaking, she turned around and walked out of the backyard. Wei Yun heard the sound of her footsteps disappearing. Finally, he couldn't control himself. He swept his wide sleeves and smashed the vase next to him.

    Wei Xia shook violently, and said with a bitter face: "Now that the eldest lady is gone, the Lord Hou starts to smash things, who will stop him?"

    "Smash it."

    Wei Qiu spoke lightly, and Wei Xia immediately changed his face: "What do you know?! Do you know how expensive things are at home?! Now that the family has all the money to buy land, the little prince is angry. , the money was spent in vain, and it is not easy for the eldest lady to save money, and the little Marquis smashed it, how do you earn this money?!"

    Hearing this, Wei Yun held up the vase, put it down slowly with a cold face, and shouted: "Get out!"

    When Chu Yu walked out of the courtyard, she was already in a good mood. The most urgent task now is to go to Fengling to find out what is going on in this place. Now that I think about it, when Chu Linyang was besieged in Fengling for three months, and Fengling fought to the sky, the battle was so tragic, what was the real reason? What happened to Fengling back then?

    Chu Yu brought Changyue Wanyue to the front of the house, went to the outskirts of the city with Zhang Yun, ordered 20,000 soldiers and horses, and then led by Chu Yu. Fearing that someone would disagree, Zhang Yun personally followed her out of the city.

    These 20,000 soldiers and horses are directly under Emperor Chunde, and they are all light cavalry. The 20,000 cavalry was handed over to Chu Yu, which was considered enough money. Chu Yu couldn't help but reassess the weight of Fengling again.

    "General Zhang," Chu Yu pondered, and could not help asking Zhang Yundao: "Where exactly is the Fengling, do you know?"

    "Fengling City is Fengling City," Zhang Yun gave Chu Yu a strange look: "What else could it be?"

    "If it's just an ordinary place, why is Your Majesty so nervous?" Chu Yu looked at Zhang Yun's expression, Zhang Yun frowned, but said, "Indeed, why is Your Majesty so nervous?"

    So Chu Yu understood that there might not be any news from Zhang Yun's mouth, maybe the general himself didn't know the situation. It's just that Emperor Chunde asked him to go, so he went, that's all.

    Qingqi hurried, but two days later, they arrived at Fengling. Chu Yu ordered to set up camp near the water, and sent people to Fengling City to inquire about news first, and then approach Fengling after resting.

    After setting up camp, Chu Yu looked at Fengling City. Most of the cities were built in valleys and surrounded by mountains. The first line of defense was established on the mountains. However, Fengling City is one of the few cities directly built on the mountain, so it is easy to defend and difficult to attack. It was heard that Fengling City was originally a cottage, and was gradually built into a city. After the founding of the Great Chu Kingdom, it was separately planned as a county level.

    At this moment, there are scattered people walking up the mountain at the foot of Fengling City. Chu Yu couldn't help but feel a little strange: "These people are all in and out of Fengling City?"

    "It's all refugees."

    Zhang Yun and Chu Yu became acquainted in the past two days. He is a straightforward person and has many friends. After taking a look at the clothes of those people, he said: "There are also many next to Huajing, and they fought hard. , and the people fled everywhere."

    There were not so many refugees in the last life. Now Gu Chusheng is not in Kunyang, and Wei Yun is not on the front line, so the refugees fled everywhere. Chu Yu frowned, and Zhang Yun advised: "It's a good thing that there are many refugees, it proves that the people were not massacred in the city. If they were all massacred, how many people would you still see?"

    Hearing this, Chu Yu smiled. With so many refugees, most of the Wei and Song families gave priority to protecting the people when they retreated. Although the city was abandoned, there were no large-scale casualties.

    Thinking about this, she is not so sad, she sighed: "I just wish to end this scene quickly."

    Zhang Yun was stunned when he heard the words, and then hesitantly said: "Madam, there are actually some things that I don't know whether to say or not, but I'm holding it back in my heart."

    "Tell me," Chu Yu smiled, and Zhang Yun sighed: "I know Wei Xiaohou and His Majesty are fighting, but Baidigu, after all, was done by Beidi people. , No matter how vindictive the little Marquis is, now that the national disaster is at the forefront, it is really chilling for the soldiers to do this."

    Chu Yu took a sip of wine and looked calm: "Do you think so, or do many people think so?"

    "Everyone thinks so."

    Zhang Yun looked at Chu Yu's expression: "You go back, persuade if you can."

    "General Zhang," Chu Yu turned back: "Do you know Marshal Yao?"

    Zhang Yun was stunned for a while, Chu Yu said calmly: "You think it's the Wei family who doesn't want to go to the front? You think it's the Song family who wants to retreat? Do you think it's my Chu family that doesn't dare to meet the enemy?"

    "We were the ones who protected the people and left, Yao Yong who abandoned the city, my Wei family who died on the battlefield, and Yao Yong who got the handsome seal. Now Yao Yong holds the handsome seal in his hand. Marshal of the army and horses, you asked the little Marquis to go to the front line, what do you think the little Marquis should do?"

    Zhang Yun is not completely stupid, he slowly recalled it, he raised his hand and said: "Don't say it, I don't want to know the rest, let's take good care of Fengling , Huajing's matter has nothing to do with us. I just took back what I said, don't take it offense."

    Speaking, Zhang Yun waved his hand and stepped back.

    Chu Yu didn't speak, she sat on the stone with the wine bag in her hand, and looked up again, those homeless people were at a loss.

    After a while, someone came to inform Chu Yu: "Madam, there are refugees who come to beg, should I wait to drive them away?"

    Chu Yu looked up at the person who was talking to the soldier in the distance.

    It was a young woman, with black charcoal on her face and a cloak, with three or four children by her side, the oldest one looked no more than ten years old, and the youngest less than the woman's thigh between.

    The man seemed to be begging the soldiers, Chu Yu frowned, she felt that the woman's brows were a little familiar, after thinking about it, she said with the person: "Bring the person to me to see. "

    The soldier was a little surprised, but he still obeyed the order and said a few words to the soldier in the past, and the woman took the child and kept bowing with the soldier to thank him.

    The woman came to Chu Yu timidly, she did not dare to raise her head, and knelt down respectfully with a few children.

    She knelt down very gracefully, raised her hand on her forehead, and then bent over her knees.

    Chu Yu frowned, and immediately heard the woman's familiar and gentle voice: "The girl has seen the general."

    Hearing the voice, Chu Yu opened her eyes suddenly, she looked at the woman in front of her in disbelief, and said in surprise, "A Jin?!"

    The woman's body trembled violently, she lowered her head, trembling slightly, and did not dare to move.

    Chu Yu stood up and walked towards her, Chu Jin heard the approaching footsteps, her heart beat fast, the moment Chu Yu was about to touch her, she stood up suddenly, I want to run outside.

    Chu Yu's eyes were quick, she grabbed Chu Jin's wrist, pinched her chin, and came over!

    The woman's face was forced to face Chu Yu, and on her face covered with black charcoal, a scabbing wound could still be seen. A face that could be considered beautiful turned terrifying.

    Chu Yu stared blankly at the woman in front of her, Chu Jin slowly calmed down from the initial panic. With tears still in her eyes, she clenched her fists tightly and said nothing.

    The children next to her rushed over and beat Chu Yu, shouting, "Let go of my sister! Let go!"

    Chu Yu turned her head in surprise, one of the children smashed over with a stone, and the soldiers held the child down, Chu Jin shouted in alarm, "Stop!"

    "Stop!"

      Chu Yu slowly let go of Chu Jin, and was at a loss for a while.

    Chu Jin did not speak, the mist in her eyes dissipated, she was wearing a cloak that had long been torn, and turned her head slowly.

    "These children have not eaten for two days." She said with difficulty: "If we have something to discuss inside, give them something to eat first."

    Chu Yu nodded and asked someone to take the child down, Chu Jin stopped and instructed: "Wait a minute! Don't give them liquid food, don't eat too much at once!"

    After ordering this, Chu Jin turned around, she raised her hand to tidy up her clothes, and put her hands in her sleeves, as if she had set up a hedgehog with all thorns, ready for battle. Even if his clothes are ragged, he seems to be wearing a robe and a gold hairpin in Huajing, and he said gracefully and calmly, "Let's go."

    Chu Yu didn't speak, she nodded and led Chu Jin into the tent.

    She was looking at Chu Jin along the way. She remembered that this sister always likes to cry and is keen on Chinese food brilliance.

    Chu Yu led Chu Jin into the tent and sat down. Chu Jin seemed to have been waiting for her to interrogate, but after a moment of silence, Chu Yu said, "They haven't eaten, have you eaten?"

    Chu Jin didn't say anything, but Chu Yu understood. According to how much Chu Jin took care of the children, she wouldn't eat too much if they didn't eat.

    She sighed, and after ordering something to eat with the people next to her, she said to Chu Jin, "First drink a cup of hot tea to warm your intestines."

    Chu Jin looked up at her: "You don't have anything to ask me?"

    Chu Yu shook her head: "After all, it's your business, you can talk to me if you want, it doesn't matter if you don't talk to me."

    Chu Jin didn't speak. After a long time, she said, "I know you sent someone to follow me."

    Chu Yu didn't speak, she took a sip of tea, Chu Jin said calmly: "I thought you didn't want to save Wenchang, so you stopped me from looking for my big brother, so after I left the city, I met a bandit. , deliberately rushed into the refugees and pushed them away."

    "You're pretty good too." Chu Yu couldn't help laughing, Chu Jin clenched his fists and didn't speak.

    The tent became quiet, Chu Yu watched the candles burst open, she took a sip of hot tea and heard Chu Jin's voice.

    "It was my fault."

    Chu Yu turned her head slowly, she did not understand why Chu Jin suddenly had such a thought.

    Chu Jin clenched his fists and gritted his teeth.

    "I thought the world was too simple, I was wrong."

    Chu Jin said, tears falling slowly. Chu Yu sighed: "A Jin, don't think too much, just come back."

    Chu Jin shook her head, she raised her hand to wipe her tears, the black charcoal was wiped away, revealing her hideous scar. Chu Yu turned her eyes away, but Chu Jin couldn't stop and kept crying.

    Chu Yu waited quietly for a while, and Chu Jin finally finished crying.

    She calmed down and said slowly, "I want to send these children to Fengling City. Besides, I have one more thing to say."

    Chu Yu nodded and said casually, "Go ahead."

    "In Fengling City, I'm afraid there are strange things."

    Chu Yu was stunned for a moment, then lowered her voice: "You start from the beginning."

    On the other side, Wei Yun was sitting in the mansion and was writing a letter to Chu Linyang. Wei Xia came in and said respectfully, "Little Marquis, there are guests."

    Wei Yun frowned and raised his head, but saw a person appearing behind Wei Xia.

    The other party was wearing a black cloak. After seeing Wei Yun, he raised his head.

    He had a cold look on his face, and said in a low voice: "I heard that Mrs. Wei went to Fengling?"

    Wei Yun was stunned when he saw the person: "Gu Chusheng? You're not in the princess' residence..."

    "Really?!"

    Gu Chusheng seemed to be completely unable to restrain his emotions, and raised his voice: "Did she go to Fengling?!"

    Wei Yun frowned, Gu Chusheng's question made him feel a little uncomfortable, but he also realized that this matter might be related to Chu Yu. So he nodded truthfully: "Yes, she led 20,000 troops to guard Fengling."

    Gu Chusheng swayed when he heard the words, Wei Xia was so frightened that he quickly supported him: "Master Gu, what's wrong with you?"

    "Go after..."

    Gu Chusheng's voice trembled, then turned around and said hurriedly: "Give me fifty thousand horses, give me immediately!"

    Wei Yun frowned deeper: "You and I want someone, you have to explain what's going on. Fengling is just a small town..."

    "The main force of Beidi is there!"

    Gu Chusheng raised his voice: "At least 100,000 soldiers are there, you give her 20,000, are you going to die!"

    Wei Yun's eyes widened suddenly, ink fell on the paper, and he fainted with panic and anxiety.
