Chapter 37 Out
Regardless of dislike, Hu Luan's people followed Sheng Yang and his party out of Beiguan from far away. They watched the figure of Pingyang's senior officials gradually go away through the gate of Beiguan, and sighed deeply. Your lord is very optimistic. They have no food to eat. My little guy can't tell whether it's joy or sorrow. I don't know if I can wait until the day when the relief food arrives...

Beiguan had already left, Wen Ming kept turning his head, seeing that they had finally left, he breathed a sigh of relief, "Your Highness, they are gone!"

Sheng Yang fell into Duan Yuzhi's arms, "Today's scene is really tiring. It's hard to see what kind of person this Hu Luan is."

"Hu Luan seems to be stupid, but in fact he is hiding something deeply. Since we entered Beiguan, he has been acting everywhere, and it is difficult to play games with him. We can't find anything with such an obvious identity."

"Your Highness," the carriage stopped, "Miss Chiyu is back."

Before he finished speaking, Chiyu had already barged in, seeing Sheng Yang reluctantly get up from Duan Yuzhi's arms, and threw her a bag of food with squinting eyes.

"How can a man be reliable? If you want to eat, you have to rely on your elder sister Yu."

"Okay, Sister Yu is really amazing!"

Chiyu was not around when the demon was caught, so she ran to the wine and meat yard to guard for a day, but she was not hungry.

"I didn't expect that Taoist priest to be really capable."

"Really? Why do I feel that his actions are all tricks." Sheng Yang didn't know why Chiyu said that.

"I heard Hu Luan describe it to Yu Wanliang. It feels quite spectacular."

"Oh, what did he say?"

"Really?" She glanced at Duan Yuzhi maliciously.

Duan Yuzhi was very curious about her eyes, "Say."

"Okay, this is what you asked me to say! Hu Luan said that Master Wangyou's Taoism is extraordinary, he is no worse than Taifu Duan, and he can easily catch little monsters. It’s not very useful, and I’m not clear about the banshee, I listened to the banshee’s slander, gave her a chance to kill her brother and ran away.”

She gloated and smiled, "Every sentence is the same, nothing added!"

Hahaha, both Sheng Yang and Wen Ming laughed.

Duan Yuzhi coughed, and said righteously, "Let's talk about something serious, what else did you hear?"

The expression on Chiyu's face became serious in an instant, "He also said that the rations of the Weibei army had arrived yesterday, and Pingyang already knew about it, and the relief rations from the imperial court will arrive at Beiguan soon, so they don't have to be so sneaky again. day."

"He knows all this?"

Sheng Yang said to Duan Yuzhi in surprise, "Yesterday I just received a letter from Yun Yang saying that the food has arrived, and Song Yi and Duan Zi have also returned to Pingyang to report the situation in Luzhou to the emperor, Song Yi I have been ordered to escort the food to Beiguan, and I should be on my way now."

"His news is so fast."

"It seems that there are also his people in the Weibei barracks."

"The paws are really long," Chiyu Cat rolled his eyes and remembered something, and said, "It seems that the restaurant belongs to Yu Wanliang, and he saved all the food. It seems that he has a lot of food left .”

"I have saved so much food, and neither contributed nor exchanged it for money, just to feed and drink for my group. This Yu Wanliang is really interesting."

"He may not really care about the money. Do you know what his house is called?"

Duan Yuzhi and Sheng Yang shook their heads together.

"Golden House!"

"Golden House?"

"Teacher Duan doesn't even know..." Chiyu smiled smugly, "Because it's so gorgeous, the common people call it the Golden House!"

"Just listening to the name...it really makes people wonder what it looks like."

Wen Ming accompanied the carriage outside, gossiping while riding.

"Speaking of which, we stayed in Beiguan for a few days, but Yu Wanliang never showed up," Sheng Yang asked, "Chiyu, Yu Wanliang has been staying in the wine and meat hut?"

"Otherwise, I have been staying on that beam. It was almost midnight last night, and a middle-aged man came."

The man was surrounded by people, he was about forty years old, he was not bad looking, not like Hu Luan and Hu Yuan brothers, he was tall and well-proportioned.

"He was dressed very richly."

Chiyu has seen many high-ranking officials and dignitaries in Pingyang, and she is not surprised to see silk and satin. This man's clothes are brocade clothes, embroidered with brilliant gold threads, but they are not ostentatious. He exudes a rich man from the inside out. The temperament is very good to control such clothes.

"The strangest thing is that he brought his wife with him!"

"Oh? What's so strange about this."

"You don't know, I was in the wine and meat hut for a few days, and all I saw were self-care stinky men, especially that Hu Luan. He not only enjoyed himself alone, but also beat people when he came home. Do you think he is human? In my opinion , based on this alone, Yu Wanliang is much better than Hu Luan!"

"What you said makes sense..." Sheng Yang agreed as a woman.

"From their conversation at the dinner, I found out that this is Yu Wanliang, the famous richest man in Luzhou. Later, they dispersed early, and he came to the yard alone at noon today. He waited until just now, and rushed over with him Hu Luan met, and I heard that you have already set off."

"Hu Luan must be very happy, right?"

"That's natural. He laughed so hard that he almost opened his mouth, saying that he can finally have a good meal and drink tonight and sleep well."

"This Hu Luan is too strange. Is he not afraid of the holy one to punish him? For the crimes he has committed, he can be dismissed from his post or exiled if the crime is serious. How can he be so happy?"

"Did he believe that the prince will definitely protect him..."

"I also heard that Yu Wanliang comforted Hu Luan, saying that the matter has been turned over."

"This matter has not been changed," Sheng Yang sneered, "They have nothing to do with the strange incident in the granary. If they hadn't heard about the food theft, why would they have time to store so much food and eat and drink in secret?"

"Your Highness said," Duan Yuzhi nodded, "The dead mouse monster, the cat monster who ran away, and Ah Xing who took the blame...maybe they are all just pawns for them."

"Cat demon? I didn't hear him mention it. Why, what did the cat demon you see look like?"

Sheng Yang described Chi Yun, Chi Yu shook his head and said with a smile, "What Chi Yun, you have all been deceived, there is no Chi Yun in the cat demon clan, that is Chi Yun!"

"You know her?" Wen Ming exclaimed outside.

"Of course, she is also from my cat demon clan in Luozhou. I came to Luzhou before and met her a few times...just..." She thought carefully, "She seems to have been adopted by an old demon, and she has a adoptive father. There's also a younger brother, but she seems to be on her own, I've only heard her mention it."

"Her brother is dead, she killed him." Duan Yuzhi said the matter gloomily.

"How did this happen..." She was also slightly shocked, "I only know that they are all adopted and have known each other for a long time. Although their siblings are noisy, they seem to have a good relationship..."

"Her brother is a rat demon, did you know that?"

Chiyu showed a disgusted expression, "Why did she recognize the mouse monster as her younger brother? The cat monster and mouse monster clan have always been at odds with each other. How could they act together and consider their relatives... Sigh!" She sighed deeply, " It is true that there are not many monsters left now, and working together may help revenge..."

"But..." She seemed to recall something.

"But what?"

"You guys described her to me just now, and now I suddenly recall that some of her behaviors and words are indeed always weird, and I vaguely feel that she is not impossible to kill her brother with her own hands..."

"Chiyu, why do you say that?"

"I remember her saying once that anything can be done and anyone can be sacrificed to get there."

Duan Yuzhi recollected this sentence carefully, "What purpose is achieved?"

"I don't know."

"It seems that there is still a lot of complexity behind this matter. If Hu Luan's wish cannot be fulfilled, let's forget it."

"What Your Highness said is that 300 million shi of grain is Luzhou's one-year ration. Both the Weibei army and the people of Luzhou have suffered, so we can't just fool around like this."

"Then what are you going to do now?"

"What else can I do!" Wen Ming immediately tilted his head and wanted to participate in this discussion.

Duan Yuzhi took out a small stone, "Do you still remember this stone Yu Shi found?"

"This is a piece of ore." Wen Ming said through the curtain.

"Indeed, this is a piece of ore. Before Lin Zhang was killed, he went to the Luzhi Mountains and brought back this stone. I have been thinking recently that maybe this stone has something to do with his death. I heard from the leftist As I mentioned, there are some weapon-making workshops in the Ministry of War in the mine, guarded by officers and soldiers, and local materials are obtained to make weapons and then transport them out of the mountain..."

His eyes flickered, as if he had thought of something exciting.

"I remember you said that this ore is iron stone," Sheng Yang deduced excitedly, "You mean that there may be a big secret hidden in the Luzhi Mountains."

"It's not impossible!" Chiyu also had a sudden realization, "I heard from the officials in Pingyang that there are more than [-] people in Beiguan who can support half of the court. Guan Fengshang, is it enough for them to just do legitimate business?"

After a few people agreed, Wen Ming and Chiyu would lead a team to Luzhi Mountain to check, and the rest of them would accompany Duan Yuzhi and Sheng Yang to bypass Beiguan, leave the Weibei military camp, and enter Beili disguised as businessmen from Beili. close.

They walked around the mountain for a day, bypassed the Beiguan Pass, and arrived at the Weibei Barracks in the evening of the second day.

Coming out of the mountains, after walking for a short time, my vision suddenly opened up. This is an endless plain. From a distance, there are hills meeting the flaming sun, and near there are military camps and grass.

Sheng Yang walked under the barracks, and the soldiers on the watchtower shouted, "Who broke into the Weibei barracks!"

Duan Yuzhi said, "Please report to General Yunyang that Princess Shengyang is here to visit."

The soldier was taken aback when he heard it, and then reacted, rushed off the stage quickly, and ran inside.

After a while, there were eager footsteps stomping behind the door, and the barracks gate made a rumbling sound. The little remaining daylight gradually penetrated through the gap in the door.

A person walked out of the door first, wearing silver armor, glowing red under the setting sun, his tall figure strode forward against the light, and within a few steps he reached Sheng Yang.

"The last general, Yun Yang, brings the army of Wei Bei to pay a visit to Her Royal Highness the Princess!"

"Meet Your Highness the Princess!"

There was a roar that resounded through the sky.
