I asked Zhu Houzhao to help me find him, just in case.
Zhu Houzhao was naturally happy to see the success and agreed.
In case Qingyun Immortal is unwilling to take action, Zhu Houzhao will naturally be the last hope.
Duan Tianya said anxiously: "Father, why is this really happening? Why is Your Majesty like this? Isn't it true that our Ming Dynasty has the ancestral teachings before us that we will not make peace with each other or become ministers?"
Zhu Wuwu said angrily: "Who said this was a marriage? It was clearly Zhu Wuwu, the uncle of the Ming Dynasty, who secretly abducted all the courtiers' beloved jewels and sent them all to Qingyun Mountain in order to achieve his own ulterior motives!"
Duan Tianya and Gui Hai Yidao were stunned when they heard this. They didn't expect that such words would come out of their adoptive father's mouth.
However, it seemed that he was reluctant, so Duan Tianya frowned and said: "I'm sorry, foster father! I can't do such an order!"
Zhu Wulan's face darkened.
Just listen to Duan Tianya continue: "Since childhood, my foster father has taught Tianya to serve the country and the people. Although there are experts in Qingyun Mountain now, we cannot give away innocent women from our country just because of fear!"
"Besides, haven't Haitang and Cheng Shifei already been investigating in Qingyun Mountain? Why don't we wait until they come back to discuss it?"
Gui Hai Yida also nodded, agreeing with Duan Tianya's idea.
Zhu Wulan sneered twice and said sternly: "Master? Do you know that the owner of Qingyun Villa traveled to Kaifeng and forced Emperor Song to abdicate in three days to his wife, Emperor Song's concubine? You are the emperor who came to Sui Dynasty in the evening? On the other side, kill tens of thousands of Yuan Kingdom’s elite Eagle Cavalry with one sword?”
"The Ming Dynasty has the ancestral precepts, and I also have the pride!"
Then he changed his tone and sighed: "If we can defeat it, I will not hesitate even if I spend all the Dragon Guard Villa!"
"But, facing an immortal that you know you can't defeat, do you really want to drag Ming to hell completely?"
Duan Tianya frowned and said, "But..."
Before he could finish speaking, Zhu Wulan interrupted him coldly: "Also, don't think about Haitang and Cheng! Their mission has already failed!"
"What?" Duan Tianya and Gui Hai Yidao said at the same time.
Zhu Wulan nodded, "That's right! Cheng Shifei was captured by Qingyun Mountain and later released. He is on his way back now."
"What about Haitang?" Duan Tianya asked hurriedly. He knew Shangguan Haitang's true identity.
Zhu Wulan's eyes fell into the distance, and Youyou said: "Begonia was injured by Qingyun Mountain, and her life was hanging by a thread. Later, she was saved by the Qingyun Mountain man with his magical power, and she stayed on Qingyun Mountain."
Duan Tianya was dejected when he heard this and then took two steps back. Shangguan Haitang stayed in Qingyun Mountain as his daughter, and then combined with the man from Qingyun Mountain to rob a good girl, I'm afraid...
Guihai Yidao looked at Duan Tianya with some confusion. Isn't it a good thing to stay in Qingyun Mountain? Why?
Duan Tianya gritted his teeth and said, "My foster father knew this, why didn't he send someone to rescue him?"
Zhu Wulan snorted coldly: "Humph! Save? How to save? I raised Haitang myself. Do you think I don't want to save her?"
Zhu Wuli was obviously a little excited and continued loudly: "The battles between dynasties in the world, the grievances and disputes in the rivers and lakes, everything, everything that is earth-shattering in our eyes, in the eyes of the man from Qingyun Mountain, Just like ants!"
"Ant! Have you seen an ant?"
"Do you care about the ants under your feet carrying things that they consider to be a matter of life and death? Do you care about the brutal wars they have to fight for their survival areas?"
"Now! Everyone in the world sees this in the eyes of Qingyun Mountain!"
"Or do you want to jump up and feel sick, and then be kicked down to the anthill?"
Zhu Wuyi's reprimand immediately made Duan Tianya sober up.
His shoulders suddenly slumped, looking downcast.
After a while, Duan Tianya came back to his senses and said to Zhu Wu: "Father, Tianya accepts the order, but I have a request!"
"Say it!" Zhu ignored his eyes and turned around, taking a deep breath to calm down his emotions.
Just now he was reprimanding Duan Tianya, but he was not admonishing himself.
Just listen to Duan Tianya say: "When my adoptive father goes on a mission tomorrow, Tianya please order me to follow him!"
Zhu Wu thought for a moment and then nodded: "Okay!"
At this time, Gui Haiyidao, who was silent and spoke few words, said: "My adoptive father said before that it will be three days later, but the capital is no less than a thousand miles away from Kaifeng. I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to arrive on time!"
Duan Tianya also looked at Zhu Wuwu after hearing this.
Zhu Wuwu nodded slightly, "This is common sense!"
"However, we don't need to hide our whereabouts on this trip. There are stations along the way where we can change trains. Even if we take the people on the list, three days is enough!"
Duan Tianya said: "But I heard that Cao Zhengchun from Dongchang went to Kaifeng a few days ago and spent half a month..."
Zhu Mingli said angrily: "That villain Cao Zhengchun was just afraid of getting angry in front of Cheng Shifei and the others by running too fast. Naturally, he dragged himself as slowly as he could along the way."
Duan Tianya and Guihai Yidao both nodded thoughtfully upon hearing this.
"Okay! Time is running out, you should leave now!" Zhu Wuwu raised his hand to interrupt their thoughts.
Duan Tianya and Gui Hai glanced at each other, then clasped their fists and accepted the order.
After the two left for a long time, Zhu Wuli stood there and stared at the sky.
"wait for me!"
……
The capital of the Sui Dynasty, Chang'an.
Unrest occurred frequently in various places, but it did not seem to affect the prosperity of Chang'an City.
At night, the streets of Chang'an are still brightly lit and people are constantly coming and going.
Various aristocratic families and clans are currently plotting the future direction in their own mansions.
In the palace, there was still singing and dancing.
A middle-aged man wearing a dark dragon robe and a full beard, enjoying the warm fragrant nephrite around him, tasting the grapes that the beauties tasted in his mouth, and enjoying the graceful dance of the dancers in the hall with relish.
This middle-aged man is none other than the current emperor of the Sui Kingdom, Yang Guang.
Yang Guang, although he has a good heart, is just greedy for enjoyment.
Historically, the three expeditions to Goguryeo and the construction of the Grand Canal were great achievements that were only made in the contemporary era but will be remembered for centuries to come. However, they were also the root cause of the Sui Dynasty’s people’s misfortune.
In addition, he was greedy for enjoyment. Even if the war broke out in the country, he would still be singing and dancing, so the historians would naturally not be polite.
While Yang Guang was enjoying the singing and dancing, a chamberlain came in, whispered a few words in Yang Guang's ear, and then handed him a secret letter.
When Yang Guang heard this, he was startled at first, then hurriedly waved away the beauties around him, and opened the secret message to check.
At first glance, Yang Guang's expression suddenly froze.
The singers and dancers who were singing and dancing in the hall were immediately struck by Yang Guang's expression and the emperor's majesty. They all knelt down and bowed their heads, not daring to move.
