The letter was written by Ma Yun himself, telling Liu Xin that a major event happened in the palace. Liu Yu and Bian Zhang disappeared at the same time.【‘
Liu Xin has strict requirements for her children and does not allow them to have any privileges. The children walk to the academy for classes every day and have meals in the academy with other students at noon. They are never special.
On this day, the children left the palace early in the morning as usual. But at noon, Cai Yong came to ask for a visit. It turned out that Liu Yu and Bian Zhang did not go to the academy at all. Cai Yong asked Ma Fan, Liu Pi and other children
, he said that when he was walking halfway, Liu Yu suddenly complained that he had a stomachache and wanted some relief. Bian Zhang also walked with him and never returned to the academy. Cai Yong was a little worried and came to visit him.
Ma Yun was stunned and said: "These children rarely get sick, and no one has ever heard of them returning to the palace. Send someone to look for them quickly to make sure nothing happens."
This accident couldn't help but remind Ma Yun of the time when Han Dang ambushed Liu Yu and took him hostage in Xiangyang. However, the situation now is different from that of the past. Among Liu Xin's children, the one who likes gun dancing the most
The best ones are Liu Yu and Bian Zhang. Especially Liu Yu, although he is only seventeen years old, he has already reached eight feet in height. He is very good at martial arts, and when used, even a dozen personal guards cannot get close to him. If he encounters
Liu Yu would definitely not surrender to someone else's ambush. Once a fierce battle breaks out, there will be many patrol posts in Chang'an City, and the guards will come upon hearing the news. It is impossible for there to be no movement.[
Thinking of this, Ma Yun calmed down a little. Boys of this age are playful, active, and a little rebellious. Maybe these two children skipped school. No matter what happens, these children must be dealt with first.
The two children were found.
The guards quickly brought in two police dogs. A few years ago, it was Ma Yun's big dog Ah Huang who found the hiding place of Sun Ce, Han Dang and others and made a great contribution. Now Ah Huang is old
After that, they were relegated to the "second line", and a large number of young professionally trained police dogs began to spread in yamen and the army.
The police dogs sniffed Liu Yu's clothes in the palace, and then followed the path that the children took to the academy. Halfway through, the two police dogs suddenly turned onto a side road, which must have been here.
Liu Yu complained that he had a stomachache. Following this fork in the road, he turned two more alleys. The police dog finally stopped and barked at a house.
The guards quickly surrounded the house and were about to open the door, but were stopped by Ma Yun. The house looked familiar to her, and when she thought about it carefully, she realized that it was the property of the Huang family. Huang Yueying came to Beijing.
After studying, Huang Chengyan built a house in Chang'an City for her mother and daughter to live. However, when Huang Yueying passed her age, it was inconvenient for her to study with boys anymore, so Huang Chengyan took them back.
After leaving Xiangyang, this house has been empty for more than two years.
However, a few days ago, Ma Yun heard from Cai Jue that Huang Chengyan's family had arrived in the capital again. Originally, Ma Yun planned to bring their family into the palace for two days, but Liu Xin was busy with the Western Expedition and never had time.
.
Thinking of this, Ma Yun couldn't help but hesitate. Although Liu Yu had already made an engagement with Huang Yueying, the marriage was never done because Liu Yu was underage. But in this era, to Huang Yueying, she has become an older woman.
Girl. Could it be that Liu Yu came here to have a private meeting with Huang Yueying? Even if the two are already engaged, spreading the word would be a big hindrance to their reputation.
At this moment, the courtyard door creaked open. Huang Chengyan heard the dog barking outside the door and came out to check what was going on. Unexpectedly, he saw a large group of personal guards. He was startled and saw Ma Yun again.
He hurriedly saluted and said, "I didn't know that your Majesty is here, but the common people are not able to welcome you from afar. Please forgive me."
Now that they have met, Ma Yun no longer avoids it. She raised her hand and said, "I don't need to be polite. I dare to ask Mr. Huang, has Yu'er been here before?"
Huang Chengyan nodded and said: "The eldest prince and the fourth prince did come early in the morning. They only sat in the hall for a while, borrowed something from Yueying, and then left."
Ma Yun thought about it. At that time, etiquette was even strict. Since Huang Chengyan was at home, he would never allow his two children to have a private meeting. Just now, she had worried too much. The top priority was to find Liu Yu quickly. She couldn't help but ask: "Mr. Huang, does he know?"
What did he borrow?"
Huang Chengyan thought for a while and said: "It seems that Yueying made some gadgets, and I don't know much about it. Since the empress is here, I might as well let the little girl speak for herself."
Ma Yun nodded and led several female guards into the Huang family's house. After a while, Huang Yueying came out from the back hall and saluted Ma Yun. In two years, Huang Yueying became more and more handsome, Ma Yun
Seeing this, she was filled with joy, but she was worried about Liu Yu's whereabouts. She chatted with her and asked directly: "Yueying, what did Yuer borrow from you? Do you know where he went?"
"Hui Niangniang, the thing is like this. After the girl returned to Xiangyang, she often exchanged letters with him. A few days ago, the girl made a repeating crossbow and told him in her letter. Later he wrote back and wanted to
It happened that she went to Beijing with her father this time, so she made two and brought them over. The one he borrowed was the Liannu." Huang Yueying paused, then suddenly blushed and said, "But,
The peasant girl never met him, and the things were handed over to him by his father."
Ma Yun felt a little disappointed and said, "So, you don't know where he went."
"Although he never told the girl, she guessed something." Huang Yueying suddenly said, "He is so eager to borrow the crossbow, so he must have joined the army!"
Ma Yun suddenly realized it and said: "That's right! Why didn't I think of it? Come back to the palace and see if the Fangtian Painted Halberd is still there?"
The bodyguards had already rushed away. However, Ma Yun pulled Huang Yueying to him and asked with a smile: "Yueying, you made a repeating crossbow, why haven't you heard Liu Yu talk about it?"
Huang Yueying lowered her head and whispered: "Back to the empress, I didn't let him say it. This kind of repeating crossbow can only shoot three arrows in a row. The folk girl has always wanted to make a new type of repeating crossbow that can shoot ten arrows in a row, but she has not yet succeeded.
."
Ma Yun knew in her heart that Huang Yueying's weapon that could shoot ten arrows in a row was probably the legendary Zhuge Liangnu, but I was afraid that it would never have anything to do with Zhuge Liang from now on. At this time, the guards had brought back the news, and in the warehouse
Fang Tian’s painted halberd has disappeared.[
This Fangtian painted halberd was originally a magic weapon in the palm of Lu Bu, and later became a trophy of Zhu Rong in the defense battle of Xiangyang. Liu Xin also played with it for a while, and felt that it was not as easy as flying knives. Anyway, he did not have to charge into the battle himself, so he
This magical weapon was put on the shelf.
Studying in the academy not only required writing, but also martial arts, and there were fierce men like Xu Huang and Zhang Fei who took turns to guide them. Liu Yu was already quite accomplished in weapons. Later, he copied Jingtian from Liu Xin
In my free time, I often go to the warehouse to take out Fang Tian's painted halberd to practice, and I have already danced it well. This Fang Tian painted halberd is too heavy, except for him and Bian Zhang, no other children can lift it. Now, this
Fang Tian Hua Ji and their two brothers disappeared at the same time. Needless to say, it must have been taken away by Liu Yu, which further confirmed Huang Yueying's guess.
Of course, Ma Yun did not believe that Huang Yueying was just relying on speculation. Maybe Liu Yu revealed some thoughts in the letter, but Ma Yun did not want to pursue anything. In this era, it is important for husbands to sing and wives to follow each other, and Huang Yueying, as Liu Yu's fiancée, may also have
Her difficulties.
Ma Yun dismissed her personal guards and said to Huang Chengyan and his daughter: "It may be as Yueying guessed, Liu Yu has defected to the army. You must keep this matter absolutely confidential and never mention it to anyone!"
Before Huang Chengyan could speak, Huang Yueying had already said: "Unless the empress asks, no daughter would dare to talk nonsense. We will never leak this matter."
Ma Yun nodded and said: "Now that we know their whereabouts, things will be much easier to handle. I have to go back to arrange some arrangements, so I will say goodbye. Yueying, I hope to see your new repeating crossbow as soon as possible."
Back at the palace, Bian Yu was crying there. Ma Yun sighed: "It's all Yu'er's fault. When he grows up, he wants to go out and make a living. I don't blame him. It's just that Zhang'er is so old that he dares to
Zhang'er was also taken out together."
Bian Yu wiped her tears and said: "Sister, it must be Zhang'er who pesters Yu'er. It's my sister who taught me Fang, but I don't blame Yu'er."
Cai Yan advised from the side: "Two sisters, the most important thing now is to chase them back quickly."
Ma Yun frowned and said: "I have written an urgent letter and sent someone to send it to his father on Pegasus. However, this matter should not be made public, so as not to be taken advantage of by Xiaoxiao. If we want to chase them back, we can only send people from the palace.
People go. If the person who goes is of low status, I'm afraid he won't be able to persuade these two boys. It's hard to say that only one of the sisters will go."
Zhu Rong volunteered and said, "I'll go!"
Ma Yun thought for a while and said: "With my sister's martial arts skills, I can go there. It's just that the journey is long, and I need a guide. Sister Jue, how about you ask Cai He to come."
Cai Jue wondered: "Your Majesty issued a decree that he should sit in front of the wall at home and think about his mistakes. He is not allowed to step out of his room for three years. I'm afraid..."
Diao Chan stood up and said, "Sisters, my little sister once accompanied your majesty to the Western Regions and returned to Wuji City. She knows the route quite well. Why don't you let me accompany you on this trip?"
Ma Yun shook her head and said, "Mr. Hua and Zhang have just found out the root cause of my sister's disease. My sister is just waiting for a good rest. How can she travel far away?"
It turned out that Diao Chan had been married to Liu Xin for so long, and her stomach had not moved. This became Diao Chan's biggest worry. Zhang Ji and Hua Tuo, two miracle doctors, worked together for a long time to diagnose and finally determined that it was due to Diao Chan's long-term confinement in order to correct her dancing posture.
It is caused by waist, and now is the critical period for treatment. If anything is wrong, it will cause lifelong regret.
Diao Chan was silent for a long time and said resolutely: "No one is sure whether my sister's illness can be cured, but the matter of Yu'er and Zhang'er cannot be delayed for a moment, so just let me go!"
Zhu Qian, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said: "I thought of a suitable candidate."
