Chapter 39

The next day, outside Wuliuer Street:

"I'm just such a son." Yuwen Hong said to the old man who sold porridge: "Just like my heart."

The old man was scooping up the porridge in front of the load, and nodded, "Me too, my wife gave me a baby, I'm afraid it will melt in my mouth, and I'm afraid it will fall when I hold it in my hand."

Yu Wenhong: "Where's your son? Why don't you sell porridge with you?"

"No more!" the old man said: "Dead!"

Yu Wenhong: "Hey—"

The old man stared and said, "Your son is also dead?"

Yu Wenhong said, "I'm not dead, I'm still alive. Come out and buy porridge for him."

The old man said: "In such a cold day, it's all the children who do the work. Look at the snow and wind on this street, but some children have gone out."

Yu Wenhong glanced at it, the dilapidated Jingshi Street gradually woke up in the morning snow, and went out to work to clean the snow, and all the people who lived were old people with inconvenient legs.

"I am willing to be ordered by him for a lifetime, next life, next life, next next life... next... next..." Yu Wenhong made a gesture to indicate that there is no more to say later, and he pointed to the small bowl and said: "Put more chopped green onion, Meng Zhe likes to eat chopped green onion."

The old man said: "What a name! Your family are all scholars."

Yu Wenhong said helplessly: "I didn't give him the name yet, it's his mother's good friend."

An aunt who came to buy porridge said, "How can my son's name be given to his mother's concubine? You are being cuckolded! Is this son yours? Don't confuse it for fun."

Yu Wenhong said, "No, no, it's definitely my son."

The old man selling porridge said, "Who is the concubine?"

Yu Wenhong: "The emperor of the dynasty, that mute named Zhang Yuanshan."

Aunt: "..."

Old man: "..."

Yu Wenhong: "Sprinkle some more fritters, okay?"

Yu Wenhong took the two-sea bowl of porridge and went back to the room depressed. You Mengzhe was sleepy, lying on the table gasping for breath, flushed on his face, and peeped at him sideways.

"Last night was really exciting, Dad." You Mengzhe said, "I'm going to die soon."

Yu Wenhong smiled and said, "Eat."

You Mengzhe pulled the fish porridge with chopsticks, and watched Yu Wenhong while eating. After eating half of it, he was picked up by Yu Wenhong and put on the bed again.

It was almost an hour after eating a meal, and the real solution was to go out and bring two more steamed buns. You Mengzhe always felt that something was wrong with Yu Wenhong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong. After eating and drinking, the capital was in a mess, and the two decided to go north. Zhang Yuanshan sent the father and son a car, and Yu Wenhong drove the car and took his son to Luoyan Mountain to see.

More and more people were evacuated along the way, and the refugees whispered:

"The emperor is going to fight in person! The frontier can't stand it anymore!"

"General Zhao's defeat is really miserable! He has been defeated and fought again and again!"

"What can we do, Dayu's Jiangshan will be gone."

Yu Wenhong drove the car out of the border, and there was no road outside the border, so he simply threw the car aside, the two shared a horse, and You Mengzhe said, "Where to go next?"

Yu Wenhong was also a little stunned, and replied, "I was only one year old when Venerable Ming picked me up and I couldn't recognize the way."

Outside the Great Wall, the fog is thick, and on the endless wasteland, a few cattle and sheep are grazing, the blue sky and brown fields, the lake water, and the rocks are like thick brush and ink. , along the Heihe to the northeast, looking for its source, the Weeping Blood Fountain.

According to Ming Zun, Yu Wenhong's home was next to the Weeping Blood Spring, but the Weeping Blood Spring had been occupied by Xianbei people, and most of the original snowy city was gone, so the two had to inquire along the way. Halfway through, You Mengzhe dismounted to urinate, while Yu Wenhong looked at the map.

"Father." You Mengzhe walked under the tree, stretched out, and shouted from a distance while untying his belt.

"Hey." Yu Wenhong said: "It's enough to urinate on the flat ground. What do you do when you run so far."

You Mengzhe: "I can't urinate without facing the tree."

Yu Wenhong smiled and said, "Are you a dog?"

You Mengzhe: "Do I have a grandfather?"

Yu Wenhong casually said: "If there is one, it will die, I don't know where it is buried..."

You Mengzhe urinated under the tree, as if something moved in the grass.

You Mengzhe: "?"

His urination stopped abruptly, not realizing that he had urinated all over the head of a soldier. The soldier was wearing Dayu's armor, squatting in the grass and staring at him.

"Yuren?" The soldier said, "I heard you and your father talking."

You Mengzhe: "Yes...Yes, what are you doing here?"

The soldier wiped his face and replied, "Ambush, what are you doing outside, hurry up!"

You Mengzhe was dumbfounded. He looked behind the soldier and found that the darkness was full of people, all of them lying in ambush in the woods. Thousands of people watched him pee without blinking...

You Mengzhe shouted loudly, and he didn't even bother to tie his pants, so he ran away with his pants on.

"Daddy..." You Mengzhe called out, "There is... there is..."

Yuwen Hong said: "What's wrong! Don't panic!"

You Mengzhe shouted while running, Yu Wenhong was not worried when he saw that there was no one behind him, turned over and dismounted and walked towards You Mengzhe, preventing all possible situations, but at this moment, the earth formation shook.

Yu Wenhong stopped and turned towards the mouth of Luoyan Valley.

The next moment, thousands of troops rushed in! The army of Xianbei people rushed to the plain!

"Don't come here! Go back!" Yu Wenhong shouted, and then flew towards You Mengzhe. In an instant, the sound of horses' hooves was like thunder, and the deafening drum beat drowned out Yu Wenhong's cry. After the battle, he immediately ran into the woods with his trousers on.

A whistling arrow pierced through the sky with a sharp sound, and You Mengzhe froze in his heart, realizing what those people were doing in the woods.

"kill"

"kill!!!"

"kill"

Tens of thousands of Dayu soldiers turned into a torrent and rushed out of the woods!

Yuwen Hong was dumbfounded for a moment. You Mengzhe never expected that he could run into the enemy army just by urinating, so he screamed, "What should I do—!"

The two groups of people filled the plain like a flood and collided with the Xianbei iron cavalry. The horn of "woo-woo-" resounded through the sky, and more and more soldiers on both sides rushed out You Mengzhe and Yu Wenhong. Another wave of Dayu troops held spears and arrows covered the sky and the ground. The torrents of the battle formation swept away the Xianbei troops. You Mengzhe was dazed, Yu Wenhong was nearly a hundred paces away from him, and he shouted anxiously: "There wait!"

The dense crowd of soldiers was crowded. At the beginning of the war, no matter how strong the martial arts were, it would be a waste of time to escape safely. Yu Wenhong pointed out the soldiers who were blocking the road one after another, blood splashed everywhere, and tried his best to push the people away.

"Ah—" You Mengzhe screamed and was bumped by the soldiers who rushed over from Hengli.

"Meng Zhe—" Yu Wenhong roared in despair.

You Mengzhe slowly fell down with his eyes open, lying on the ground. A soldier lifted him up and threw him onto his horse. The warhorse neighed and carried him headlessly out of the battlefield.

Yu Wenhong was hit by the galloping horse unexpectedly, and then tens of thousands of Xianbei cavalry charged, knocking Yu Wenhong out.

There was chaos everywhere, Yu Wenhong jumped up, put one foot on the shoulder of the soldier, and ran out in the crowd, the arrows flying in the air was extremely dangerous, Yu Wenhong pushed the arrows away with the wind of his palm, but the arrows were too dense Several arrows were still hit, and the battle became more and more intense, with nearly 200,000 people filling the battlefield.

First there were trebuchets, then light throwers, stumblers, crossbows, rolling logs, poisonous locusts, all kinds of hidden weapons flying around in the air, and finally the ground collapsed into a deep pit three miles wide and three miles long.

Yu Wenhong had already lost his head in the battle. He protected himself with a knife he picked up, picked up a helmet and put it on his head to block arrows. He shouted, "Meng Zhe! Meng Zhe!"

He grabbed a high-headed horse from Xianbei. The light covered the sun and the dark clouds covered the top.

The war horse was frightened and ran wild, and Yuwen Hongle couldn't restrain it, so he was led out of the battlefield.

The sky was getting dark, and You Mengzhe, riding a war horse, didn't know where he was taken.

"Father!" You Mengzhe shouted, the two were separated for an hour, You Mengzhe was hungry, and when he saw the smoke in the distance, he followed the smoke all the way to find it.

That place is a Dayu Barracks.

"Who is it!" Someone shouted immediately after seeing You Mengzhe coming.

"My own person!" You Mengzhe said hurriedly.

"It's fine!" The sentinels bent their bows and arrows indiscriminately, and rushed up to a group of people in an instant. You Mengzhe thought of something, and instantly picked up the jade Huang around his waist, shook it, and said, "I'm an imperial envoy! I pass it on to you. The biggest official is here to pick you up!"

The sentries stopped one after another and looked at him suspiciously. You Mengzhe showed them the jade Huang for a round, and said, "If you don't believe me, show this to your boss."

The sentinel brought it into the camp to pass the news, and You Mengzhe waited outside the camp. After a while, the sentinel came to report, returned to Yuhuang, and said in a loud voice, "The imperial envoy, there are many offenses, the general is discussing the military situation, please come first. Waiting outside the tent."

As long as you have something to eat, You Mengzhe followed him in. Anyway, Zhang Yuanshan's Yuhuang was on his body, so he was not afraid of what the Dayu army could do to him. When he was thinking of sending someone to get Yu Wenhong back, he heard a fierce dispute between the two in front of the handsome tent, all of which were familiar voices.

"You have to escort the princess and the prince back home immediately!"

"The enemy has retreated! Yuwen is really dead! The opportunity is now! Retreat at this time is simply asking for death!"

"General Zhao, I brought the prince and princess with me..."

"The general is outside, the emperor's order is not subject to you, General Yu..."

You Mengzhe walked lightly to the handsome tent, but the soldiers did not dare to stop him, and the man inside shouted again, "Success or failure is here! Yu Wenzhen is about to die, time is running out..."

You Mengzhe: "Wow—"

Zhao Feihong blushed and had a thick neck. He was startled by You Mengzhe rushing in from outside the tent. He was caught off guard and fell backwards. There was a loud bang.

You Mengzhe: "Ouch—"

Zhao Feihong: "!!!"

Zhao Feihong was dressed in armor and was so frightened that his face was pale, he rolled and crawled to the ground, You Mengzhe chased to the east with a grimace, Zhao Feihong hid in the west, You Mengzhe chased to the west, and Zhao Feihong staggered to hide behind the other person.

And that person is...

"Meng Zhe?" Yu Changqing asked, "Why are you here?"

"Wow—vomit—" You Mengzhe was still chasing Zhao Feihong, but Zhao Feihong finally recovered and shouted, "Enough!"

You Mengzhe calmed down after being yelled at, and asked, "Is there anything to eat? I'm hungry."

Several people in the tent had black lines on their heads, and when You Mengzhe disrupted the situation like this, the original tense atmosphere has dissipated.

After a moment of silence, Yu Changqing folded his hands, gestured to You Mengzhe with his eyes, made a gesture of invitation, and You Mengzhe motioned him to wait a moment. Raising his hand to dismiss him, Yu Changqing smiled politely and left.

You Mengzhe and Zhao Feihong were left in the tent, with a map on the table and oil lamps lit around them.

"Wow—" You Mengzhe stepped forward.

Zhao Feihong laughed. He was over thirty-six years old, and it was the most attractive moment in a man's life. He wore silver armor and had an extraordinary demeanor.

Zhao Feihong clapped his hand, pressed You Mengzhe's head, and pushed him aside.

"What are you doing again?" Zhao Feihong said solemnly: "I have a headache when I see you, where are your guards?"

"He's my dad!" You Mengzhe said loudly, "The real dad."

Zhao Feihong was stunned at first, and then said in disapproval: "The bad debt back then, and another one?"

You Mengzhe knew that Zhao Feihong still remembered his mother, so he pointed his middle finger, touched Zhao Feihong's helmet curiously, and said, "Put it on and see."

"Don't make a fool of yourself." Zhao Feihong blocked his hand and said coldly, but suddenly he couldn't stop laughing, and his face was still unsteady after all.

You Mengzhe laughed and dived into his arms, but Zhao Feihong was still unable to do so, thinking about the old feelings at that time, he sighed, hugged him in his arms, touched his head, and said, "I'm sorry for what happened back then. , I'm really sorry for your mother and you."

You Mengzhe finally waited for this sentence, so all his previous suspicions were released, and he no longer tried to toss him.

Zhao Feihong folded his arms and sat in front of the central army table without saying a word. The soldiers outside the tent brought boiled mutton and tea in white water, and You Mengzhe ate it on his own.

"What are you thinking? Do you want to retire?" You Mengzhe asked.

Zhao Feihong took a sip of the cold tea and said, "You must have seen the distant mountains. What did he tell you?"

You Mengzhe said, "I didn't say anything, just send someone to get my father back. He hasn't had dinner yet."

Zhao Feihong sent a group of people to look for it, and said, "We reported back to the people who were buried in the Xianbei people, saying that Yuwen was seriously ill, and I was afraid that he would not live long. Jie, Di, and Qiang were the vanguards of the Xianbei, and the leader of the four tribes was a Qiang, and according to legend, he was already in critical condition.”

You Mengzhe said, "But isn't Yuwen really in a hurry to go back to seize power? He is about to die, and Yuwen's family has to go back, otherwise his army will be scattered."

Zhao Feihong looked at You Mengzhe with admiration, and said, "You are very smart, but I don't know what Yuanshan thinks. We can't really beat it by fighting alone, but the art of war is the best. The enemy will retreat without attacking. It's just that Yu Changqing can't wait."

"Can't let him go back by himself?" You Mengzhe said.

"He and Tang Ze got separated." Zhao Feihong said: "The little prince and the princess are still with him. The situation in the northern Xinjiang is uncertain, so rashly returning to Beijing, I am afraid that there will be many mistakes, and at least 30,000 people will be sent to them. Go back... that's all, God won't help me Dayu... Meng Zhe?"

You Mengzhe has already left the tent.

Zhao Feihong issued an order that You Mengzhe could move freely in the tent. No one dared to stop him again.

On the edge of the camp is an endless grassland. This was originally a village of Qiang people. After the war between the two sides, the Dayu army lost more and lost less, and retreated southwards, so that the frontier territories retreated from the Weeping Blood Spring to the south.

Zhao Feihong occupied the village and drove the Qiang people out of the fortress. The natural pastures and rolling green hills were unobstructed. If there was no war, it would be a beautiful scenery.

The eldest princess was sitting beside a well, her hair was as blue as daisies, while Yu Changqing stood aside, fetching water with her own hands to comb her hair.

"Huanggu." The voice of the little prince said: "When will I be able to go home, what about the royal father? When will he come to pick me up?"

You Mengzhe stood quietly, thinking of You Gutian.

The eldest princess said casually: "Good, don't ask, Auntie will take you back, and leave in a few days."

Yu Changqing sighed, the little prince didn't know that his father was dead, so he went to rub the eldest princess, the eldest princess was a little impatient, and said, "Don't be like this, you are an adult."

Yu Changqing was very patient, patted the little prince's head, let him sit on his lap, and said, "Uncle will take you to ride a horse later."

You Mengzhe felt very sad when he saw it, and said, "I'll take him there, come."

The three turned their heads together, Yu Changqing put down his comb and said with a smile, "Meng Zhe."

Yu Changqing strode over and hugged You Mengzhe tightly. The intimacy was evident, and the eldest princess knew that the two of them had always been good friends, so it was not surprising, she smiled and said, "It's Taifu's adopted son? Where have you been? It's been more than half a year. people."

You Mengzhe came over with a smile, hugged the little prince in his arms, sat cross-legged on the grass, and missed Yu Wenhong indescribably.

"Where's your father?" said the little prince.

"My father... I'm lost." You Mengzhe said, "I'll play with you. Look, I also have a jade Huang, and you are exactly the same as you."

The jade Huang of the two people were fighting together, and You Mengzhe's eyes were full of tenderness, and he touched the little prince's head.

"General Zhao will not retreat?" Yu Changqing asked.

"He's not... he's a good person." You Mengzhe said, "Brother Yu, just wait."

The eldest princess said: "I'm afraid that after a long delay, there will be another moth. Do you recognize him? What is the character of this person?"

You Mengzhe thought about it for a while, then paraphrased Zhao Feihong's words, and said, "He is my master, trust him."

Yu Changqing looked at the eldest princess with a solicitous look in her eyes.

"If you say that, you have no choice but to believe him." The eldest princess said helplessly: "Don't fight and you won't be able to fight. It would be better for everyone to be arrested by the Xianbei people."

Both You Mengzhe and Yu Changqing laughed, and You Mengzhe said, "That won't happen. If we really lose, he will have to protect us and escape if he desperately wants to."

When he was talking, he suddenly saw the mobilization of troops. Zhao Feihong ordered the camp to march overnight. Yu Wenhong hadn't found it yet, so he set off. You Mengzhe thought that he would not be able to find anyone if he went out to search anyway, and running around aimlessly would not work, so he had to follow Zhao Feihong.

The eldest princess, Yu Changqing, the crown prince, all the important people were protected by the Imperial Forest Army. After dinner, they got into the car and followed Zhao Feihong's army of 100,000 people. You Mengzhe always accompanied the little prince, and vaguely felt that the origin of his jade Huang and the prince's jade Huang was not simple.

Two pieces can be put together into one piece, and it was taught by Zhang Yuanshan and the emperor himself, as if there was a kind of necessary responsibility in his heart.

You Mengzhe accompanied the prince all the way, told him the story of the overseas immortal mountains, and took out the birth and creation pill for him to eat. Fortunately, everyone trusted him very much, and he never found that You Mengzhe always fed the only blood of Dayu to eat strange things.

Perhaps it was because of their similar backgrounds, the prince also cooperated very well along the way. He would eat whatever You Mengzhe gave him, and he would do whatever he asked him to do. The two got along very well.
