When the wine and food came up, the two of them were both chopsticks and no longer spoke.
Halfway through the meal, Yan Wushi drank a sip of wine and said with a smile: "Do you have to tell me the reason for your liking? Just like you hate someone, you look at him as hateful, but you can't tell the reason. Isn't this the same truth? You can't think that my true feelings are fake just because I am joking with you. How can I bear it?"
At first glance, this sentence seems a bit serious, but in fact it is all fallacies. Chen Qiao thought to himself, why is it so difficult to have a long talk with this person?
He turned his head a few times in his stomach. He was about to say something, but when he heard the slight movement of the table, he couldn't help but look up in the sound, and saw Yan Wushi lowering his head and spitting blood.
Chen Qiao's face changed drastically, and he didn't care about anything else. He hurriedly got up and held him in front of him: "What's wrong with you? Is it poisonous in the wine?"
Because Chen Qiao had not moved the pot of wine, he suddenly thought of the problem of wine.
Even more, thinking of his experience of meeting each other, his face looked even worse than Yan Wushi.
But he saw Yan Wushi suddenly smiled and pressed him in his arms: "It's a mess to care, A Qiao, you are really wrong!"
Chen Qiao glared: "You, aren't you poisoned?"
Yan Wushi wiped the blood from the corners of his lips: "When chewing, he accidentally broke his lips and teeth, and he might just get angry."
Can getting angry and vomit blood?
Let's go and cheat!
Chapter 109
Since he learned that Yan Wushi pretended to vomit blood and deceive him, Chen Qiao never said a word to Yan Wushi until he entered Chang'an and entered the Duke of Suiguo Mansion.
In his heart, this man had already been linked to the word "crawler". He had more minds than beehives. Even if he tried his best, he could not beat him. He simply remained silent and said nothing. No matter what Yan Wushi said, Chen Qiao was either "hmm" or "oh". He didn't believe that he could still take advantage of the loopholes in this way.
Yan Wushi also knew that he had played too much. Although he forced Chen Qiao to worry about it in a hurry, people always need face. Even if a person with a good temper like Chen Qiao, if you take off his skin, can someone give him a good face? It is normal to be angry, but it is not normal to not be angry.
Chang'an is as always, with high walls and majestic momentum, and thousands of atmospheres are gathered together. It is worthy of being the imperial capital. Just this kind of courage without anger, Chen Qiao had never seen it in Jiankang City, the imperial capital of the Southern Dynasty.
I think Jiankang City is also considered the capital of several dynasties. It has been built here since the Sun Wu of the Three Kingdoms. The palace walls have three layers inside and three layers outside, Qinhuai in the south and Houhu in the north. When Yan Wushi was entrusted by Yuwen Yong to escort the Zhou Dynasty envoy to the Southern Dynasties, Chen Qiao also stayed in Jiankang. Compared with the two, Jiankang was a little more gorgeous and charming, but less tough and cold. The so-called "to determine the capital by observing the king's spirit, where the king's spirit is, the place where the dragon's spirit is, although this sentence has a bit of aura of a talisman, it makes sense. Taoism does not practice Yin-Yang techniques, but it is inevitable to have some knowledge. Chen Qiao also has some ability in observing the spirit of a dynasty. On that day, he thought that his life was not long. Now when comparing Jiankang with Chang'an, he also felt that the former was indeed less royal and slightly inferior to Chang'an. This is the foundation, which may be related to the fate of a dynasty.
But it would be fine to think about these words of gods and ghosts in my heart. Even if the emperor believed it, there were really few emperors who moved the capital because of this.
After all, the rise of dynasties, the right time, place, and people are indispensable. If the Zhou Dynasty lost Yuwen Yong, what is the use of taking advantage of the right time and place? But tomorrow's yellow flowers.
"Why is A Qiao's expression so serious?" Yan Wushi's voice next to him sounded very disgustingly.
Chen Qiaoli didn't want to pay attention to him, just kept silent.
Yan Wushi hit a nail, his face was smiling, and he was not displeased at all, and followed him into the city.
Chen Qiao protected Yuwen Song and broke through the siege that day, which made people too deeply impressed. At this time, he never even changed his clothes. He was still in a Taoist robe with a long sword. His appearance was not as good as everyone else's type, so that the soldiers guarding the city could immediately remember him. Seeing others entering the city openly, they didn't even have the courage to come forward to stop and interrogate.
Many people will admire those who are truly capable. Chen Qiao's performance that day was very dazzling. Even the soldiers at the bottom were involved in the process of capturing Chen Qiao and Yu Wen Song, but from the bottom of his heart he admired the Taoist who took the orphans of Yuwen and left the city with his own strength. Although he heard that the emperor was furious because he failed to kill Uncle Cheng's whole family and made his cousin a missed fish, but in private, who would not give Chen Qiao a thumbs up? The exciting battle at the city gate that day had been spelled into jokes among the people and spread among the markets. The common people may not know the world's number one master Qi Fengge, but they definitely knew this Taoist Chen who was righteous and powerful in martial arts.
But Chang'an is not anywhere else after all. Since entering the city, the two of them have been exposed to countless eyes. However, Yan Wushi didn't care, and he never reminded Chen Qiao that he took him straight to the young master's mansion in the city.
Although Huanyue Sect lost power, Yan Wushi was not a criminal offender in the court. Chen Qiao took Yuwen Song to escape. However, Yuwen Yun felt that a seven or eight-year-old Yuwen Song could not cause any storm. In addition, he was addicted to enjoying the whole day and had no time to take care of other things, so he was too lazy to pursue the matter. Therefore, although these two people entered the city, although they attracted attention from all parties, no one came to arrest them. On the one hand, Wuming came out, and on the other hand, they wanted to arrest them, but they didn't have the ability.
Since the Shaoshi Mansion ascended the throne, it was sealed. The door was locked and a seal was pasted. Yan Wushi pulled his hands gently. Not to mention the seal, even a heavy lock broke in response. He pushed the door and entered. His appearance of not taking the imperial ban seriously made Chen Qiao, behind him, twitching his lips.
He was determined to support Pulirujian, so there was no need to avoid suspicion in broad daylight?
Chen Qiao wanted to ask, but opened his mouth but still held back.
Yan Wushi didn't look back, but seemed to have eyes on his back, and took the initiative to say, "Last sword test meeting, Hehuan Sect went to find trouble for Chunyangguan. In a melee, Sang Jingxing and Yuan Xiuxiu must be injured. It is impossible to come back so quickly. Some of the remaining minions are not worth mentioning. If I say that I can see them, Chang'an is only a snow court now. The old bald donkey respects Buddhist orthodox, who wants face and cannot do anything to peep behind people behind his back. As for Yuwen Yun, when he was the prince, I also trained him. He knew that he could not afford to offend me and was just having fun. He would never act rashly before he was sure. Even if someone sued him, he would only turn a blind eye."
Chen Qiao frowned. It seems that Yuwen Yun is not a person with no ability. He just as soon as he ascended the throne, he destroyed all his uncles. Such behavior is really heartbreaking.
Yan Wushi seemed to have noticed his thoughts again and said, "Yuwen Yong valued Buddhism and brought Hehuan Sect in. He clearly did not want Buddhism to dominate. It can be seen that he still has some ability in controlling his subordinates and dividing and controlling all forces. Otherwise, he would not be able to pretend to be in front of Yuwen Yong for so many years without being abolished. But his ability is only here. If Yuwen Yong is willing to listen to me and establish Yuwen Xian as the crown prince, the Zhou Dynasty can at least ensure stability for three generations."
Chen Qiao did not expect that Yan Wushi had suggested this to Yuwen Yong. No wonder Yuwen Yun immediately attacked Huanyue Sect after ascending the throne. It was probably because he hated Yan Wushi to death. Unfortunately, the emperor's intelligence was useless in his work and was a little unrestrained.
There are Turks in the north and Southern Dynasties in the south. Even the north was defeated by the late emperor. Even if a normal emperor did not want to unify the world as soon as possible, he would not be able to abdicate to his son and become the emperor himself. Even when Chen Qiao was in Xining Town, he heard about the emperor's large-scale construction of royal gardens and the concubines and palace maids who were proclaiming lust in the daytime. If Yuwen Yong knew that his son had been doing this under the 9th spring, he would probably be angry.
Yan Wushi said again: "Although Yuwen Xian is weak, he has a good way to lead troops. Even if he cannot inherit Yuwen Yong's will, he will not ruin his family's business. Unfortunately, Yuwen Yong was unable to escape from the shackles of ordinary people and insisted on his son to inherit the throne. His eyes were so narrow and shallow that he worked hard for a lifetime and was killed by his own son. His hard work was gone. He was really a sin that could not survive!"
He had no respect for the late emperor, and he would have been praised and criticized. If it were someone else, he would have been scared to death, but Chen Qiao couldn't help rolling his eyes secretly, thinking that you were besieged by several masters in Tuyuhun Royal City, and your head was still cracked, and you almost felt sad, saying that Yuwen Yong was shallow, how wise are you?
Yan Wushi didn't look back and jokingly said, "A Qiao, I didn't expect that you are a gentleman, but you learned not to speak in person, but instead complained about other people's problems behind your back. This is not good!"
Chen Qiao knew that he wanted to tease him, but instead closed his mouth tightly like a clam.
While talking, the two had already walked through the atrium and came to the backyard.
Chen Qiao didn't know what he intended to bring him here, but looking at the furnishings around him, they were not messy and dusty because of the absence of the owner. Instead, they were well organized. It can be seen that someone should be taking care of them on weekdays, but the iron chains on the outside had never been moved, which is very interesting.
Yan Wushi pushed open one of the doors of the house, but there was not a single person inside, but there were already several people sitting there.
Seeing the two of them coming, the people stood up to greet them. The man in the middle even stepped forward a few steps and bowed: "I heard that Master Yan has encountered many changes outside these days, but I am not a person in the world and can't help at all. Fortunately, you are safe and sound. I can't give up my heart."
He greeted Chen Qiao again: "Daozun Chen was so proud of that day that day, and he still couldn't forget it, and he was even more talked about by the people of Chang'an. Now when you see it, the style is even better than the past!"
This person is an old acquaintance, so Chen Qiao naturally would not disagree. What's more, Yan Wushi said in advance that he was mentally prepared, so he bowed and smiled: "You are kind to the Duke of Sui. I heard that when I took Qilang to the capital that day, I had to help the Duke of Sui secretly so that we could escape safely. I have never thanked Duke of Sui."
Pu Liurujian smiled with a hearty smile: "It's just a matter of raising hands, why should I worry about it!"
He introduced Chen Qiao to the person who appeared with him: "This is Zheng Yi, a doctor in the inner history."
There is another person who doesn’t need to be introduced, and he is also an old acquaintance - Yan Wushi’s eldest disciple Bian Yanmei. As early as when Yan Wushi came in, he went forward to salute. Seeing Chen Qiao looking at him, he bowed with a smile.
With Yan Wushi's pride, he was able to put down his figure and be kind to Pu Liurujian: "When I was outside, I received a letter from Dalang, saying that you were in trouble here."
Everyone sat down separately, Pu Liurujian smiled bitterly: "Yes, there was indeed some trouble. I couldn't find a way to think about it, so I could only take the liberty to bother Sect Master Yan."
Yuwen Yun was not very capable of governing the country, but the emperor had a perfect mindset. Since he killed several uncles in a row, he had his ideas on his ministers. The first thing he was targeted by him was his father-in-law, Duke Sui Lurujian.
Pu Liurujian was not Yuwen Xian, so naturally he could not sit still and wait for death. Or maybe he had already rebelled. Seeing an emperor like Yuwen Yun, it was impossible for him to bow down and surrender. So he was respectful on the surface, but in fact he had made various preparations in secret. He first contacted the army and tried to take over all the remnants of Yuwen Xian. After Yuwen Xian's death, those who were originally loyal to him were suppressed by the emperor's suspicion and were in panic all day long. When he saw Pu Liurujian's olive branch, he naturally rushed to take it over. After Pu Liurujian's management, many people in the court also turned to him and became his backbone. Zheng Yi was one of them.
But Yuwen Yun was not completely unaware that Pu Liurujian's daughter was Yuwen Yun's central palace queen. Yuwen Yun could not catch Pu Liurujian's open handle, so his attitude towards the queen became increasingly bad, and he often scolded and threatened him several times to kill. Fortunately, Pu Liurujian's wife Dugu entered the palace to plead for mercy and escaped from death.
Pu Liuru sighed firmly: "A few days ago, the Queen Qianqiu, Your Majesty had no intention of doing a big deal. She only gave some things and allowed Zhujing to visit the palace. Because someone in the palace said that the Queen wanted to see her brother, Zhujing took her eldest son and second son to the palace to celebrate her birthday. Who knew that when she saw the Queen, Zhujing was led away by excuses. When she came back, she was told that the Queen missed her brother and kept him for food. Zhujing asked for a meeting but was unable to get it. She begged Your Majesty and was even driven out of the palace. Since then, I have never seen the Queen and the Dog Son again. He tried his best to release him. His Majesty refused to let him go. Now he doesn't know whether they are alive or dead."
In other words, Pu Liurujian's two sons and a daughter were both taken hostage by Yuwen Yun.
Pulirujian has five sons, the oldest, the one who was taken to the palace, is only nine years old now.
Speaking of this, he looked anxious and had a heart of loving his son in his heart. "I tried every means. Even if I asked for soft words, Your Majesty would not let him go. He bit the dog's son to death and wanted to stay in the palace to accompany the queen. There was Zen Master Xueting in the palace, and there were masters in the clouds. I was really not sure if I could not hurt my children by using force. Unexpectedly, Yuwen Yun suddenly attacked and would use such means. I had no choice but to ask for Master Yan!"
The room was quiet and the needle fell. Yan Wushi smiled slightly and said slowly: "I'm not nice. Now the Duke of Su Guo is ready, and only the east wind is there. Even if these two sons are gone, there are three more. In fact, it is okay to have no way to the overall situation. As long as you remain unmoved, Yuwen Yun cannot use this to threaten you."
Chapter 110
This is very much like Yan Wushi's coldness and ruthlessness. The implication is that those who have accomplished great things from ancient times to the present can even abandon their parents and ignore their brothers, let alone children. Pu Liurujian has more than these two sons, and there are three more under his knees. What's more, Pu Liurujian is in his prime now, and it's not difficult to give birth to a child and half of his daughter. There is no need to be restrained just because his two sons are in Yuwen Yun's hands. What's more, what should he do?
Although Chen Qiao did not agree with this, it was not surprising or unexpected. Because based on his understanding of Yan Wushi, the other party was indeed such a person. On the contrary, Yan Wushi was so special to him during this period, which was strange and abnormal.
In the audience, in addition to Chen Qiao, there were also Zheng Yi and Bian Yan Mei. Bian Yan Mei was the disciple of Yan Wushi, a member of the Demon Sect. He acted in a strange way and did not think that there was anything wrong with this statement. Zheng Yi was considered a close friend by Pu Liurujian, and of course he was not a kind person. Although he did not speak, he also agreed with Yan Wushi's words.
