In Duke's Mansion, Duke's wife Wang sat alone in the room in a daze. Just now, Shu Wang, King Yuchi Dun, sent someone over and brought bad news, that is, today a traitor sneaked into the palace and took the emperor, the queen mother, and the queen Zhu away.

Of course, I only talked about the Queen Mother, Queen Zhu was held hostage by the thief, and the emperor was safe and was still in the palace.

All this happened shortly after Wang and his prince Yuchi Jiade left the palace, so when Wang heard the news, he couldn't believe his ears.

Shortly after returning from the palace, Wang heard from his servants that the city was full of soldiers, closing the city gates, blocking the streets, questioning pedestrians everywhere, searching from house to house, making chaos.

She didn't know what happened at first, and it was not until the person sent by the King of Shu came to the mansion to explain.

Wang still remembers clearly the scene of his grandson performing "Wu Song Fighting Tigers" and the scene of his two daughters talking to her, but as a result, he is gone if he says he is not there!

Wang didn't know how to describe her mood at this time. Although the person who came did not say it clearly, she probably guessed that these bold thieves were probably the subordinates of their son-in-law.

The Yuchi and Yuwen have broken up, so Wang knew that his third daughter and grandson would not be able to reunite with his son-in-law for the rest of his life. As a result, the son-in-law's subordinates have actually rescued the person out of the palace. Wang was both happy and worried.

What’s happy is that the third daughter and grandson can return to their son-in-law. What’s worried about is that if the mother and son encounter danger along the way, it will be a big deal, let alone the younger daughter is also taken away. What should we do in the future?

From Yecheng to Shannan, the journey is nearly a thousand miles, and you have to cross the Yellow River halfway. The Henan area is fighting. Along the way, not to avoid the pursuers of the King of Shu, but to avoid bandits and chaotic soldiers from all over the country, it is a troublesome thing.

Wang felt that the King of Shu knew the right way, so the pursuers sent out would not hurt Sister Yuchi Chifan and Yuwen Weicheng, but those bandits, riots, and even the powerful people from all over the country were different.

How can the two sisters be so charming about the world? How can they be better if they fall into the hands of thieves?

Even if you are not caught, what if you are shot by a stray arrow during a battle?

As Wang thought about it, he became more and more restless. He would rather have two daughters and grandsons trapped in the palace than take risks. After all, in the palace, except that he could not leave the palace at will, it was certain that he would be safe and unwilling to suffer.

Not to mention that the matter between Yuchi Mingyue and Wang Xin was basically decided. After remarrying, you can live a happy and fulfilling life. As a result, Yuchi Mingyue has left with Yuchi Chifan. If you arrive in Shannan safely, what should you do if Yuchi Mingyue’s marriage is important?

Moreover, as the empress dowager, Yuchi Mingyue arrived at Yuwen's territory and was afraid of being unlucky. When Wang heard the news, he said that King Qi had established an emperor in Chang'an, claiming that he was the "Last Emperor" who fled from Yecheng. The emperor also told the world that he deposed Yuchi Mingyue as a commoner.

Then Yuchi Mingyue went to Shannan and Yuwen's territory, and the other party would give her a good look? I'm afraid she would force her to shave her hair and become a monk!

The more Wang thought about it, the more worried he felt, the more worried Yuchi Mingyue’s future was, but his personal appearance then appeared in his mind.

King Yuwen of Xiyang, her son-in-law, is a good person. She is a royal family with great military achievements. Wang thinks that since Yuwen Wen is so good to Yuchi Chifan, he should protect Yuchi Mingyue for the sake of Yuchi Chifan.

After all, it was Yuwen Wen who rescued her family from Chang'an back then.

Yuwen Wen's biological father is King Qi Yuwen Liang. Yuwen Liang must play an important role in the Chang'an court. The prince of King Qi Yu Wenming has a good relationship with Yuwen Wen. Wang thinks that as long as Yuwen Wen speaks, it will be no problem to protect Yuchi Mingyue.

Thinking of this, Wang felt a little relieved, but began to worry about the safety of his daughter and grandson. The city gate of Yecheng has been closed. If Yuwen Wen's subordinates did not move fast enough, they could not take Yuchi Chifan and his son and Yuchi Mingyue out of the city as soon as possible, and they would definitely be trapped in the city.

In this way, will you not be able to eat enough, wear warm clothes during the days you hide, will you get sick without medicine, will you...

While Wang was worried, the prince Yuchi Jiade walked in. Seeing his nervous look, Wang couldn't help but wonder: "Why are you so panicked?"

"Uh...mother..." Yuchi Jiade looked behind him halfway, turned to the door and looked outside. He made sure that there was no one. He quickly walked to Wang and handed a wax ball to her.

"This is?"

"Mother, something fell outside the back garden just now. It was this wax ball wrapped in a handkerchief..."

When Yuchi Jiade said this, he lowered his voice: "This handkerchief is the handkerchief that the emperor wiped sweat when he was in the palace just now, and the child recognized the pattern on it."

"ah!"

Wang was shocked when he heard this and almost couldn't hold the wax ball. He looked at the door and carefully pinched the wax ball. He took out a note from it, with a few beautiful handwriting on it, which read "Daughter, good luck to the fourth wife, don't worry about it."

Wang recognized that the handwriting was written by Yuchi Chifan, which means that Yuchi Chifan was using this method to communicate to her about "reporting peace".

After reading it several times, Wang put the notes in the water bowl on the table and rubbed them, kneaded the handwriting and notes into pieces, and then looked at his son: "Remember, you can't let others know about this."

"Will my father know?"

"Let's talk about it later."

Wang sighed, very helpless. At this point, she could only pray to the Buddha to bless his two daughters and their young grandson to turn bad luck and go to Yuwen Wen safely.

......

The next day, in a corner of Yecheng, more than ten riders stopped outside the door of a mansion. Sogdian merchant Antulu dismounted and walked straight into his mansion. When he saw the butler who came to hear the news, his first sentence was: "Has the mansion been searched?"

"The soldiers have arrived, and they don't leave after they have been paid. They have to make a lot of trouble before they can stop." The housekeeper paused and added: "Don't worry, the family is not disturbed."

Antulo nodded: "From today, the price of goods sold will be increased, and the losses must be compensated immediately!"

"yes."

The housekeeper saw Antulu go to the backyard and go to work on other things. Antulu met and said a few words to his family, but then turned to the study and sat alone.

After a short while, knocking on the door started. After Antulu agreed, he entered the room and heard Antulu ask what happened in the city yesterday, and the man told the news that he had inquired out one by one.

In short, something happened to the palace, and the gate of Yecheng was closed, and ordinary people were prohibited from entering and leaving. Then the official army rushed the entire city. The prime minister later summoned all the ministers and said that a rebel thief sneaked into the palace in the morning and attempted to assassinate the emperor. So he took the empress dowager hostage and Queen Zhu fled.

The Princess of Shu and Zuo Xiaogong Bo who were in the palace at that time were also held hostage. Fortunately, they were rescued by the imperial guards. Now the city is searching for the hiding places of the traitors. The government promised heavy rewards and encouraged the people to assist the official army in capturing the traitors.

Hearing this, Antulu asked, "So, is the emperor still in the palace?"

"Master Lang, it is said that the emperor is still there, but the palace is now airtight and cannot be spread at all. I don't know whether the emperor is true or false."

"I understand, go back."

"yes."

There was only Antulu in the study, thinking about things alone.

Yesterday, Antulu, who had just returned from Jinyang, was about to enter the city, but he saw that the city gate was closed and had no choice but to spend the night in his own manor outside the city. At that time, he couldn't figure out what was going on in the city.

Now, from his servant's report, he came to a conclusion that the people of King Xiyang brought the princess (Queen Zhu) and the prince (Son of the Emperor) out of the palace.

This news is crucial, which means that Yuchi's advantage has been reduced by one point, and he has another chance.

As a businessman, of course, you must ensure that you are well-informed, so Antulu knew about the brilliant achievements of King Yuwen of Xiyang in Henan. Yuwen seemed to have gained a foothold, and the worst situation was that he could compete with the Yuchi East and West.

Then how to get along with everything is naturally the issue that Antulu needs to consider.

The sudden break between Yuchi and Yuwen family caught most people off guard, and the same was true for merchants. When the war broke out, the trade routes to Huangzhou were cut off, and the rich trade profits instantly decreased, especially the huge profits of the glass mirror, which had no place to purchase goods.
