Chapter 700: August 16: The Yelang Incident Is over, and We Part Ways
Yelang, the governor of Kyoto, was ordered to go to prison.
The prisoners in the imperial prison were all Yelang's most vicious criminals. It can be said that almost no one who was imprisoned in the imperial prison came out alive.
No matter how prominent your status was before, once you are in prison, even a tiger can be tamed by Mao.
The cells in the imperial prison were stinky and dark, and cockroaches and rats could be seen from time to time.
In one of the cells, Lin Kong was squatting cross-legged on the hay. His body was covered in scars. His white prison uniform was mixed with blood and stuck to his skin. His face was haggard, his beard was unkempt, and he had a strand of white hair. Hit it in front of your forehead.
In front of him was the meal delivered by the jailer just now.
According to Yelang's local dining time, it was already past morning, but not yet noon, which was not the time to eat at all.
Apart from this strange thing, the meal not only included meat and vegetables, but also a jug of wine. The food was excellent, which was not something a prisoner could eat at all.
But Lin Kong knew that this was his last meal.
Lin Kong was actually prepared for his upcoming death. The moment he was caught, convicted of collaborating with the enemy and treason, and had his whole body's cultivation disabled, Lin Kong knew that he would not be able to escape alive. .
The only thing he cares about is his family.
Looking at the steaming meal in front of him, he was still thinking, fortunately Xue Lan is at her grandfather's place, so the bloodline of our Lin family will not be cut off from now on.
"It's just that I hate it."
At the moment when Lin Kong roared, the cell door suddenly opened, and many officials walked in quickly. Lin Kong accidentally glanced and was startled. Isn't this the Prime Minister Liu Quji?
He glanced again, stood up suddenly, his whole body couldn't help but trembled: "Xue Xuelan?"
He saw his daughter in prison.
For a moment, Lin Kong felt like the world was spinning. He thought that if Xue Lan had been caught, then the fate of the Lin family would be even worse.
Just when he thought so, the scene that happened next shocked him extremely.
Xue Lan was not escorted in, but was swarmed in by the officials, and the faces of these officials were flattering.
The door of Lin Kong's cell was opened by Liu Quji himself. As soon as he opened the door, Liu Quji was even more excited than Lin Xuelan. He said, "Master Lin, I have made you suffer. Why are you standing there? Why don't you do something for the Lin family?" The Lord loosens the fetters.
Where is the imperial physician? Where is the imperial physician? Come quickly and look at the injury of the Lin family leader. "
Not only Liu Quji, but also the supervisor in charge of the prison said with a serious face: "Who inflicted this injury on the head of the Lin family?"
After saying that, he said to Lin Kong with a flattering face: "Master Lin, don't worry, I will definitely make the decision for you. Someone, call Jin Qianhu for me."
The officials' words drowned out Lin Xuelan's voice.
Lin Kong was even more confused. What on earth happened?
Are they trying to curry favor with me?
Lin Kong seemed a little cautious.
Lin Xuelan squeezed forward, not dissing the stench from Lin Kong's body. She was already in a mood, hugged Lin Kong, her eyes were red, and she sobbed: "Dad, you have suffered."
…
After leaving the prison, Lin Kong finally saw the light that he had not seen for a long time. He raised his hands to cover the sun unaccustomedly.
He still hasn't figured out what happened in the prison just now.
"Princess Deyi."
"Your Highness the Princess."
A girl in a palace dress, surrounded by several palace maids, walked over, and Liu Quji and others quickly saluted.
Lin Kong also recognized Princess Deyi, and immediately thought that the princess's mansion had rescued him, and quickly stepped forward to thank Princess Deyi.
But Princess Deyi took a step back in shock, her body lower than Lin Kong's bow: "Master Lin, you can't do it, you can't do it."
Lin Xuelan is King Wei's woman, and Lin Kong is King Wei's father-in-law.
Princess Deyi cannot deserve such a great gift from Lin Kong.
"Princess, Mo. No, where is the prince?" Lin Xuelan still couldn't calm down about the news that Mo Yu's identity was actually the King of the Song Dynasty and Wei Dynasty.
"The King of Wei is accepting His Majesty's credentials. He told me that if the head of the Lin family is rescued, he will escort you back to Jincheng to see the Lin family and meet at Yangtian Pass." Princess Deyi said.
On the way back.
Lin Kongcai learned from Princess Deyi that his precious daughter had found a son-in-law for him, Chen Mo, the king of the Song Dynasty and Wei Dynasty.
Chen Mo did not hesitate to offend the Diao family for the sake of his precious daughter. Today, the third prince also forced His Majesty to surrender. Not only did he let him go, but he also pardoned the entire Lin family.
…
Kyoto.
Yelang respects the Song Dynasty as a vassal state. Naturally, it cannot just be said in words, but must be implemented in practice, that is, a letter of credence written by Xingluo himself and stamped with a jade seal.
Chen Mo also wanted to take this certificate of credence back to the Song Dynasty and give it to Emperor Yong'an.
After accepting the credentials, Xingluo also revealed intentionally or unintentionally that he wanted to marry Chen Mo and choose a princess to marry Chen Mo.
The reason why Xingluo is like this is because such a big change has happened in Yelang now, and the general is still commanding troops outside. After learning what happened in Kyoto, it is inevitable that he will not rebel.
But if the Xing clan and Chen Mo were bound together, they would have a backer, so that the general would not dare to act rashly.
However, the general is not something Xingluo is afraid of. Xingluo is confident that he can defeat the general.
What he was worried about was that when the third prince came to power, he would offend Gomachi and Lewo, and he was worried about the revenge of these two countries.
But Chen Mo refused, and in order to reassure him, he assured him that Yelang would be a vassal state of the Song Dynasty from now on. If Gouding and Luowo sent troops to Yelang, the Song Dynasty would definitely send troops to assist.
Xingluo was a little disappointed. Seeing that Chen Mo didn't want the princess, he could only retreat and do the next best thing, saying that Princess Deyi must accept it.
Hearing this, Chen Mo blinked. If he still refused, Xingluo would be worried.
Moreover, Princess Deyi is indeed very beautiful, and she is also an icy beauty. She is better than a princess whom she has never met, so just accept it.
At this time, Chen Mo suddenly felt a little melancholy.
If I had known last night, Xue Lan would not have been allowed to help Princess Deyi detoxify.
After settling the matter with the Lin family.
Chen Mo took charge of Xingluo and wanted Lu Sheng and the family members of King Chong and the Luo family.
According to the information from the supervisory guard, their family members all fled to the Western Regions and were taken in by Yelang.
Xingluo was stunned and quickly called Liu Quji to learn the details of the matter.
Liu Quji said that Lu Sheng and his family were indeed taken in by Yelang, but only the third prince and his close associates knew their specific whereabouts.
Hearing this, Xingluo asked Chen Mo to wait while he sent someone to investigate.
In the afternoon, Xingluo told Chen Mo that he learned from the interrogation of the third prince that Lu Sheng, Prince Chong, and the Luo family members were all used by the third prince’s master for training. They were all dead, and even their bones could not be found. .
Chen Mo frowned, but this was good, as it would save him from committing another murderous crime.
Due to Si Song's injury, Chen Mo did not stay in Kyoto longer and left Kyoto with Nalan Yiren, Si Song, and Liang Mu that day.
Xingluo sent a team of guards to escort him, but Chen Mo did not refuse. Without a guide, he did not know the way back to the Song Dynasty, and Sisong still needed someone to take care of him on the way.
As for the injured Shuang'er, Princess Deyi took her with her when she escorted Lin Xuelan and the others back to the Lin family.
At this point, the things that happened in Yelang have almost been resolved.
On the way, Chen Mo curiously asked the Nalanyi people about the potion that Yelang officers and soldiers smeared on the arrowheads outside the valley yesterday.
"I found out that this potion was given by Tang Yichen, and it should also come from the Poison King Valley."
Chen Mo had to pay attention to the fact that arrows coated with this magical potion could actually break through the defense of the innate spiritual energy. If this potion could arm the entire army, and combined with the compound bow, wouldn't it be invincible?
In the carriage, Nalan Yiren was dressed in black. The half-mask on his face had been taken off since he got into the carriage. He was injured yesterday and only got up this morning. He treated Xingluo with blood. At this moment, he was obviously a little nervous. Haggard and tired, after hearing Chen Mo's words, he said slightly weakly:
"You should be talking about the spirit-changing water. It is similar to the bone-eroding water I gave you before. The difference is that only a third-grade warrior can refine the spirit-changing water. It is the innate spiritual energy in the body of a third-grade warrior. It can be condensed into a liquid, mixed with various venoms that can corrode the innate spiritual energy, and boiled for seven to forty-nine days, and a third-grade warrior can only condense the innate spiritual energy into a small bottle. Spiritual liquid, and less than half of it will be lost during the brewing process, so the spiritual water is extremely precious.
And once it is exposed to the air, it can only last for two quarters of an hour, which is a bit thankless. "
Hearing this, Chen Mo couldn't help but be a little disappointed. According to Nalan Yiren, this spiritual water cannot be refined on a large scale.
Nalan Yiren also guessed that Chen Mo wanted to use the spiritual water on the battlefield. After pondering for a while, his somewhat white lips moved: "For the sake of your revenge for grandpa, I will help you practice it."
"No, I'm just asking casually." Chen Mo thought that this spiritual water could be refined in batches, so he thought about it. Now that it's so troublesome, it takes forty-nine days to refine a small bottle, plus the innate spiritual energy and absorption. It took Lan Yiren almost two months to recuperate herself before she could make such a small bottle. I was really embarrassed to bother her.
Nalan Yiren kept staring at Chen Mo's eyes. Seeing what he said, her eyes flickered and she curled her lips and said, "Your luck in love is really strong. You brought two girls back when you came to the Western Regions. No, you should." It’s three.”
Nalanyi people also include jade beads.
"Including you, Miss Nalan?" Chen Mo chuckled.
"Do you dare to touch me?" A cloud of colorful poisonous smoke suddenly appeared on Nalanyi's body.
Chen Mo shrank subconsciously, and his innate spiritual energy emerged to form a defense, but the colorful poisonous smoke passed directly through it. He quickly said: "I'm just kidding you, but you took it seriously."
Nalan Yi put back the colorful poisonous smoke. Although his expression was calm, the corner of his mouth curled up: "Coward."
…
The third year of Yong'an, at the end of October.
Looking up to the sky and outside the pass.
A sudden strong wind blew up the yellow sand in the sky. A motorcade walked slowly forward under the yellow sand in the sky.
In front of the huge stone engraved with three big red characters "Yangtianguan", Lin Xuelan looked at the end of the desert in the distance like a stone looking forward to her husband, with expectation in her eyes.
Suddenly, she saw a row of small black dots appearing on the sand dunes in the distance. As the small black dots grew larger and larger, the convoy that had been walking under the yellow sand in the sky came into her eyes.
"Miss, that seems to be the imperial guard." Yuzhu, who was standing behind Lin Xuelan, shrank his pupils slightly, with a hint of fear in his expression from when he was in Kyoto.
"It should be King Wei and the others who have arrived." A cold voice sounded behind the two women.
Lin Xuelan looked back and saw Princess Deyi, who was handsome and handsome in a red outfit, walking over.
Princess Deyi holds a sword and wears a bamboo hat on her head to protect her from the sun.
Jincheng and Kyoto are on the same road to the Song Dynasty. Lin Xuelan set out first that day and did not stay in Jincheng for long, so she arrived at Yangtian Pass two days ago.
The convoy stopped at Yangtian Pass.
The leading guard got off the horse and came to the carriage where Chen Mo was, saying, "King Wei, we have arrived at Yangtian Pass. We will go back to report."
After hearing Chen Mo's response, the guards turned their horses around and went back.
"In the desert, the speed of this carriage is not as fast as a camel."
Liang Mu got off the carriage first and said to the carriage behind.
"Miss, it's King Wei and his men." Yuzhu recognized Liang Mu and said to Lin Xuelan.
However, Lin Xuelan's figure was no longer there. The moment the other party saw Liang Mu, he had already gone to meet him.
Yuzhu: "..."
When Chen Mo got off the carriage, Lin Xuelan had already thrown herself into Chen Mo's arms, tears streaming down her face.
"Xue Lan, what's wrong? Why are you crying?" Chen Mo held Lin Xue Lan in his arms and was slightly stunned.
"The queen is gone." Lin Xue Lan's emotions, which had been suppressed for many days, burst out at once like a broken dam.
It turned out that the speed of Lin Xue Lan's second uncle Lin Luo was not as fast as the people sent to Jincheng by the third prince.
When Lin Luo returned to Jincheng, the government had already confiscated the Lin family.
Lin Xue Lan's mother, Hu, knew what fate would come to the women whose families were confiscated, so in order to avoid being humiliated, she committed suicide before being arrested.
In addition to Hu, Lin Luo's wife and some women of the Lin family also committed suicide.
When Lin Xue Lan and his friends returned to Jincheng, they rescued the remaining Lin family members who were detained from the government, as well as Lin Luo who was arrested when he returned to Jincheng.
Chen Mo frowned, the worst situation still happened.
What happened to the Lin family was pitiful. When Chen Mo looked down at Lin Xuelan's appearance, he could only feel distressed.
"Don't cry. I will take care of you in the future." Chen Mo comforted her softly.
"Miss Lin, the dead cannot be resurrected. Besides, the third prince is dead, and the Diao family has been imprisoned. It can be regarded as revenge. We still have to live our lives in the future." Si Song was helped down from the carriage by Nalan Yiren.
Before Chen Mo and his friends left Kyoto, in order to reassure Chen Mo, Xingluo executed Xing Yin on the same day.
Nalan Yiren looked at Lin Xuelan, who was nestled in Chen Mo's arms, frowned, then looked at Chen Mo and said, "King Wei, your great kindness will never be forgotten in the Poison King Valley. Next, I have to take the elder back to the Poison King Valley to comfort my grandfather's spirit in heaven. We will say goodbye now."
