Chapter 38 Night Exploration of the Son-in-law
It is said that Xiao Tianyou is not going to describe how angry he was when he learned that Meng Liang had escaped. Anyway, the number of patrols in the capital has not decreased, but increased, and the search from house to door has become more and more rigorous. Moreover, when the Empress Dowager Xiao learned that there was still one person who had not escaped and was still in the capital. He immediately issued an edict to inform the whole capital that he would not be allowed to enter or leave within a month. If you want to go out, you must have a warrant issued by Empress Dowager Xiao.
In the Zhuangyuan Mansion, Mu Guiying had a headache when she heard the news brought back by Jiang De. Mu Guiying is fine now, and it's okay to stay in the capital for a while, but Mu Kezhai's family doesn't know. Before coming, Mu Guiying promised to go back within a month. Now Mu Guiying has left Mu Kezhai for more than half a month. If she doesn't find a way to go back or send letters back, Mu Kezhai will definitely turn upside down.
Jiang Cuiping wanted to see Baoer, and she was also anxious: "Brother, can you think of a way?"
"It was okay before, but not now." Jiang De shook his head and sighed, "Now all four gates are guarded by Xiao Tianyou's cronies. The north gate is the dragon, the east gate is Su Tianbao, the west gate is Huangchuan, and the south gate is Su Heqing. These four are very loyal to Liao. If we don't have the order of Empress Dowager Xiao, we will definitely not be able to go to the capital.
"'The order of Empress Dowager Xiao'..." Mu Guiying said to herself, thinking about how to get this warrant. Jiang De thought she said to herself and nodded, "Except for the people trusted by Empress Dowager Xiao, no one will be so easy to get a 'hand order'."
Trusted people. Mu Guiying's mind flashed and suddenly thought of a person. If this man agrees to help, then Mu Guiying will definitely be able to get out of the capital. Thinking of this, Mu Guiying asked Jiang De excitedly, "Brother Jiang, does Empress Dowager Xiao have a very beloved daughter?"
"Daughter?" Jiang De thought for a moment and then said, "Which one do you ask?"
"Uh..." Listening to Jiang De's tone and expression, Mu Guiying knew that her information was inaccurate. So, Mu Gui's English turned aback and smiled: "Does the Empress Dowager Xiao have many daughters?"
"Yes, there are only three or four princesses, and there are also many adoptive daughters." Jiang De thought for a moment and said, "The daughter of Huangchuan I just mentioned is the adopted daughter of Empress Dowager Xiao."
Mu Guiying is even more embarrassing, but she doesn't know whether Yang Silang's princess is her own. He quickly asked, "Are there any of these princesses with the surname Mu or a person from the Central Plains?"
"Surname is Mu, from the Central Plains?" Jiang De lowered his head and thought about it. Suddenly, he raised his head with an 'ah' and said, "The eldest princess of Liao, the attached horse of Princess Iron Mirror seems to be from the Central Plains, surnamed Mu. However, I heard that this son-in-law rarely goes out of the house, so many people have seen him.
Jiang Cuiping saw Mu Guiying's surprised face and said doubtfully, "Sister Mu, do you know that son-in-law?"
"I've also heard that if you want to know if he is the person I've heard of, you have to meet him in person." Mu Guiying has limited knowledge and dares not talk big, and his tone is very reserved.
Jiang De shook his head: "I just said that the son-in-law seldom goes out, and I am not familiar with Princess Iron Mirror. I suddenly came to the door, which is easy to arouse the suspicion of others."
"My brother is right. In case the son-in-law and Sister Mu don't hear that they are the same person, we really can't go out of the capital. Why don't we think of another way?" What Jiang Cuiping said was reasonable, and Mu Guiying had to continue to stay in the champion's mansion.
Mu Guiying stayed for another two days. In these two days, Jiang De went to court every day because he still had an official position. Jiang Cuiping accompanied Mu Guiying in the Zhuangyuan Mansion every day and listened to her talk about Baoer's life in Mu Kezhai. Mu Guiying couldn't see anything on the surface, but her heart began to worry.
On the third day, Jiang De came back very late and also brought a message to Mu Guiying: the national teacher Yan Rong returned to the court and asked Empress Dowager Xiao to send someone to help him set up in Feihuyu, Jiulong Mountain. According to Yan Rong, this array is called Tianmen array and consists of 108 small arrays. If this array is used to deal with the soldiers and horses of the Song Dynasty, Liao will definitely win. When Empress Dowager Xiao heard this, she was naturally overjoyed and quickly gathered people for strict deployment.
As soon as Mu Guiying heard that she was going to set up the Tianmen array, she felt that she could no longer wait any longer and had to go back to tell her master, Lady Lishan. Thinking of this, Mu Guiying stood up and said solemnly, "I can't wait any longer. I must leave the city as soon as possible. Whether the son-in-law is the one I heard or not, I will go there.
"Then we will go with you." Jiang's brother and sister stood up together and decided to visit the son-in-law's house at night with Mu Guiying.
Mu Guiying shook his head: "You can't go. If anything happens, we still have a way out. Tonight, I will go alone." Mu Guiying has been the owner of the village for so long, with an unquestionable tone, which made Jiang's brother and sister have a strange feeling in their hearts, and the two brothers and sisters also obeyed Mu Guiying's arrangement.
Due to the 'unpeaceful' period in the capital, a ' curfew' was imposed. After it was completely dark, it was dark and quiet in the capital. Except for the patrolling soldiers, no ordinary people dared to appear on the street, and Mu Guiying also saved a lot of trouble. According to the road map given by Jiang De, Mu Guiying didn't have much time to come to the back alley of the son-in-law's mansion. Finding the big tree that leaned out of the wall, Mu Guiying smiled and entered the son-in-law's house.
After turning around the son-in-law's house, Mu Guiying had to sigh that Princess Iron Mirror was really favored. The son-in-law's house was also too big. It had been almost half an hour and had not found the princess and son-in-law. Just as Mu Guiying rested for a while and wanted to continue turning, she saw a maid coming over with an exquisite porcelain bowl.
Mu Guiying's heart moved, so she followed the maid to turn left and right, and finally came to a bright house. While the maid knocked on the door and came out, Mu Guiying saw a middle-aged man with sword eyebrows and star eyes, short beard under his jaw, very masculine and charming behind the case in the room.
Seeing this middle-aged man, Mu Guiying knew that he must be the son-in-law of Princess Iron Mirror. However, seeing the man's appearance, Mu Guiying guessed that the middle-aged man might be Yang Silang. Because Mu Guiying has seen Yang Wulang, a monk who became a monk in Wutai Mountain, he and Yang Silang have three or four imaginations between their eyebrows. On the other hand, the middle-aged man in front of him is so beautiful. It is very consistent with the 'rumors of the previous life' that the princess of Liao saved Yang Silang and fell in love with him at first sight.
Thinking of this, Mu Guiying saw that there was no one around, so he jumped out of the grass and directly pushed the door and walked into the room. The middle-aged man in the room didn't care. He lowered his head and wrote on several cases and whispered, "Princess, you go back to your room to rest first, and I'll be back in a minute."
After saying that, the middle-aged man could not hear the usual voice, so he suddenly raised his head and found a beautiful woman standing opposite him. He suddenly raised his eyebrows, and two cold lights shot at Mu Guiying, but he said in a low voice without hurry, "Who are you? How dare you break into the son-in-law's house at night?"
Mu Guiying smiled and was not in a hurry. He picked up another brush, pulled two pieces of paper, and whispered, "Hasn't the emperor's son-in-law heard of what happened to the imperial horse prison a few days ago?"
"So, you are the Song man who escaped but did not escape from the capital." The middle-aged man didn't care about Mu Guiying's rudeness, and his tone was still indifferent: "Today, my son-in-law is in a good mood. You leave quickly, otherwise your life will be in security."
Mu Guiying put the pen in her hand back in place, picked up the two pieces of paper and blew it, and then held one in one hand to show it in front of the middle-aged man. In the middle-aged man's position, there is a word 'wood' and a word 'yi' from right to left. The middle-aged man didn't know what Mu Guiying meant. When he wanted to say something, he saw Mu Guiying smile again and changed two pieces of paper with both hands. It becomes a word 'easy' and a 'wood'. When Mu Guiying slowly approached the two pieces of paper, the middle-aged man's face finally changed.
"Who the hell are you?" The middle-aged man's tone was excited, but his eyes were very complicated, with pain, sadness, guilt... In a word, Mu Guiying has never found that there can be so many feelings in a person's eyes.
Mu Guiying knew that he had raised the pain in Yang Silang's heart, which was a little too cruel, so he said directly, "Who am I? I don't pose any threat to you. I just want to leave the city. I helped Meng Liang and your nephew escape, which also indirectly saved your General Yang. Anyway, you should also repay me.
"What do you mean?" Yang Silang was shocked and looked at Mu Guiying doubtfully.
In the battle of Golden Beach, Yang Silang rushed out of the encirclement and met Han Yanshou, a general of Liaoning. After the fierce battle, all Yang Silang's subordinates were killed, but he himself was seriously injured and captured. Above the Golden Hall of Liao, Yang Silang would rather die, speak generously and scold the Empress Dowager, but did not identify himself. Empress Dowager Xiao liked Yang Silang's good martial arts skills and saw that Yang Silang had a talent, so she wanted to recruit Yang Silang.
In order to repay the blood debt of Jin Beach, Yang Silang endured humiliation and concealed his identity. He divided the word "Yang" into two, under the disguised name "Mu Yi" and accepted the surrender of Empress Dowager Xiao. Empress Dowager Xiao was overjoyed, but she was afraid that Yang Silang would repent, so she agreed to the request of the eldest princess who fell in love with Yang Silang at first sight and recruited her as a horse. Yang Silang faced the gentle and virtuous Iron Mirror Princess all day long and actually had feelings for her. For so many years, Yang Silang has been in a complicated mood and depressed.
Yang Silang never thought that someone would recognize his identity, and this man was still a young lady. In order to find out how Mu Guiying learned about it, Yang Silang wanted to explore the details of Mu Guiying. But when he heard Mu Guiying say that 'his nephew' 'indirectly saved General Yang's life', Yang Silang couldn't care any more and immediately stood up.
Mu Guiying saw that Yang Silang was still from the Yang family, and he was also a little relieved. He carefully talked about how Yang Liulang was poisoned, how Meng Liang came to steal Fengfa, and how Yang Zongbao secretly followed him. Hearing that Yang Silang's mood was ups and downs, he slowly walked to the hall and didn't recover for a long time.
Just as Yang Silang sighed gently, a gentle female voice came from outside the door: "Your son-in-law, why are you sighing again?"
As soon as this word came out, Mu Guiying and Yang Silang were shocked. Seeing that the door was slowly opened, Yang Silang's heart also rose...
