Chapter XVII: Released from prison

After a period of communication in the hall, Song Quan went out and shouted at the door, "Third child!"

Soon, a man with a slight resemblance to him between his eyebrows walked quickly, it was Song Yanqing's father, Song Shu. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

After entering the hall and receiving some explanations, Song Shu quickly left again.

returned to his own house in the mansion, and as soon as he entered the house, he said to the old servant who ushered in him: "Let Yanqing come to see me." ”

The old servant was a little embarrassed: "The young master is not at home, he went out to meet friends." He didn't know where Song Yanqing went, and it was probably just those places.

"Come back and see me immediately!" Song Shu said undoubtedly.

The old servant could only do so and leave in arrears.

Song Shu, who was standing in front of the candlelight of the lampshade, stared at the candle flame and fell into silence, his face was dark and dark, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

After a full hour, Song Shu was disturbed by the sound of hurried footsteps outside, came back to his senses and turned his head to look, only to see Song Yanqing hurrying over to greet him, "Dad, are you looking for me?"

Only after Tang Yi got married, Shangqing Sect lost much attraction to him Song Yanqing, and he didn't stay long before returning to the capital.

Song Shu looked up and down, and saw that there were traces of unwiped fat powder on his cheeks, and he immediately scolded angrily: "I know the place of chaos all day long, Fang'er has been crying and crying for three days, and it is better to have this time to cultivate well than anything?"

The so-called 'Fang'er' in his mouth was Song Yanqing's wife, and soon after Song Yanqing returned to the capital, the Song family married him a relative.

Song Yanqing lowered his head and muttered: "It's ugly to death, I said I wouldn't marry at the beginning, you have to force me." ”

"Where is it ugly, isn't it just a little fat?" Song Shu glared, pointed at his son's nose and scolded: "I warn you, her father has tens of thousands of elite troops in Gyeonggi in his hands, and there is also the support of the cultivation sect behind him, you are so polite to others, you really want to provoke your grandfather, you know the consequences!"

"Yes, yes, I see. Song Yanqing smiled bitterly helplessly, and said, "Dad, let's get down to business, what's the matter with me?"

Song Shu calmed down his emotions and said in a deep voice: "You clean up immediately and return to Shangqing Sect as soon as possible..."

"Ahh Dad, with all due respect, the Shangqing Sect is useless, and it's easy to get into trouble if you get involved, I can't figure it out, how did you run away to be a disciple of the Shangqing Sect in the first place, isn't this causing trouble for yourself?"

Song Shu was silent for a moment, and said slowly: "The matter has come to this point, some words may as well be made clear to you, at the beginning, King Ning Shang Jianbo was invincible and invincible, and the army was invincible, shocking all countries, and he was the most important minister in the Yan Kingdom, and he had the potential to be a prince." It can be said that Shangqing Sect has always had a friendship with the royal family of Yan State, and Shang Jianbo has always had a good relationship with Shangqing Sect, it is for this reason that your grandfather let me go to Shangqing Sect in order to help the Song family leave a back road. Who knew that there were unforeseen circumstances in the sky, the first emperor died suddenly, and the dying edict was actually passed on to His Majesty today, so far the situation of Shang Jianbo has taken a sharp turn for the worse, which has made it what it is today. ”

Song Yanqing suddenly realized, and muttered to himself: "Grandpa is really insidious, he has already ridden the wall on both sides..."

Song Shu was furious when he heard this, "What did you say?"

"It's nothing, it's nothing!" Song Yanqing hurriedly waved his hand, "I mean, shouldn't we keep a proper distance from the Shangqing Sect?

Song Shu said in a deep voice: "Shang Chaozong will be released from prison tomorrow!"

Song Yanqing said strangely: "I heard about this, what does this have to do with me going to Shangqing Sect?"

Song Shu: "The imperial court has just made a decision to drive Shang Chaozong out of the capital and expel the fief. Judging from the route, I am afraid that you will have to pass through the area of Shangqing Sect, after you go to Shangqing Sect, you must warn Shangqing Sect that you can't send a mage to him!"

Song Yanqing said hehe: "What a big deal, can you let me run so far? Besides, it's too late for the Shangqing Sect to protect itself now, even if he doesn't say hello, I don't think he will dare to send someone to him. ”

Song Shu glared and said: "You know what a fart!" Shangqing Sect has always had an inextricable relationship with the royal family of Yan State since the founding of the Great Yan State, and Shang Jianbo is afraid that it is not just a Dongguo Haoran, Tang Mu suddenly changed the direction of the wind before his death and passed the throne to Dongguo Haoran, it can be seen, I suspect that the water of Shangqing Sect is not so clean, and it is very likely that there are still those that have not surfaced. In today's situation, other sects do not dare to send people to protect the Shang Dynasty Sect, and the most likely one is the Shangqing Sect. Letting you go to Shangqing Sect is not only to warn Shangqing Sect not to send people to Shang Chaozong, but also to keep an eye on Shangqing Sect for me! Shang Chaozong was released from prison and left the capital, as soon as the news came out, some scum may be flooded, and after you go to Shangqing Sect, you must pay attention to any abnormal movements in Shangqing Sect, and report any findings immediately, this is what your grandfather meant. ”

Song Yanqing said with a bitter face: "Why bother so much, besides, the phoenix that has fallen in the Shangqing Sect is not as good as a chicken, even if they send people to the Shang Dynasty Sect, they can't afford to make any waves, and the Shang Dynasty Sect has no military power in his hands, and the grandfather is too worried, according to me, it is better to let the Shangqing Sect be destroyed directly to save trouble." ”

Song Shu said coldly: "The hundred-legged insect is dead but not stiff, not to mention that it was King Ning, who had the power of the soldiers and horses of the Yan Kingdom at the beginning! Your grandfather naturally has his considerations for doing this, this is not something you should worry about, I warn you, this is not child's play, your grandfather can't spare you if something happens!"

Song Yanqing's back was cold, he was quite afraid of his grandfather, and he didn't dare to breathe when he was in the air......

The sky was slightly exposed to the white of the fish's belly, and outside the prison, a carriage, and the groom driving was waiting quietly in front of the carriage.

A middle-aged man with a delicate face wandered beside the carriage, with a goatee, a green robe, and a blue vest on the outside, quite elegant, and his deep eyes looked at the gate of the prison from time to time.

It wasn't until the morning dawn bloomed, and the sky revealed its first brilliant golden glow, that there was movement in the prison, and the sound of iron chains mopping the floor.

The groom and the middle-aged man Huo Ran looked back.

After a while, the door of the prison was opened, and a tall but thin skin-covered young man in ragged clothes was pushed out of the prison by a group of people, wearing shackles on his hands and dragging shackles on his feet, walking barefoot. Although he looks very embarrassed, his eyes are bright, his back is straight, and he would rather bend than bend.

This person is Shang Chaozong, the youngest son of the late Yan Guoda Sima Ning Wang Shang Jianbo!

The groom and the middle-aged man who were waiting outside the prison hurried to usher, but they were stopped by the guards, and they could only watch anxiously.

Shang Chaozong was imprisoned and stopped, and someone stepped forward to open the shackles on his hands and feet, and then someone stepped forward with documents and ink.

After Shang Chaozong pressed the fingerprint on the paperwork, the cell leader Fang arched his hand and smiled: "Congratulations to the prince for finally being free." ”

Shang Chaozong glanced at him, didn't say a word, and walked forward barefoot without hurrying.

As soon as he came out of the warning range, the middle-aged man and the groom stepped forward to salute together, and they were a little excited and speechless.

Shang Chaozong nodded to the groom, and then smiled at the middle-aged man: "Mr. Lao Lan will pick it up in person." ”

The middle-aged man's name is Lan Ruoting, who is still a relative of Shang Chaozong and the cousin of Shang Chaozong's mother. Five years ago, his division was killed along with Shang Song and others, and he basically took his division's place in the palace.

Lan Ruoting couldn't speak, his eyes were fixed on Shang Chaozong's wrists and ankles, the flesh of those two parts had been ground up and suppurated, this was the result of wearing shackles for a long time, and there was a foul smell on his body, coupled with his spine-like appearance, it could be seen that he had suffered many sins over the years.

What kind of treatment should a prince have! His lips trembled, and he tilted his head, "Quickly help the prince get into the car." The groom hurried over and helped him to the right and left.

"No, you can go!" Shang Chaozong pushed his hand left and right, didn't let him help, and walked to the carriage and climbed up.

Lan Ruoting then followed in.

As soon as the carriage left, a carrier pigeon in the prison flapped its wings and flew into the air.

The carriage trotted on the streets of the capital without hurrying, and Lan Ruoting, who was sitting with him in the car, checked Shang Chaozong's injuries and said, "Wait to find a quiet place and then bathe the prince to heal." ”

"It's okay, I've been here for so many years, and I don't care about this time. Shang Chaozong spoke, stretched out his hand to open the curtain and looked outside, and found that it was not the way back to the palace.

Lan Ruoting explained: "Your Majesty has a decree that the prince is not allowed to stay in the capital, and he will be sent to the fiefdom of Canglu County immediately. ”

"You know, the prison has listened to the will. Lowering the curtains, Shang Chaozong turned around and asked, "Has the cause of my father's death been found?"

Lan Ruoting shook his head and said: "This matter is very strange, there are no clues so far, the one in the palace we only suspect, but there is no evidence." ”

Shang Chaozong was silent for a while, and then asked: "How is Qing'er? My father repeatedly told us brothers before his death that we must protect Qing'er." ”

Qing'er's name is Shang Shuqing, his younger sister and Shang Jianbo's only daughter. Shang Chaozong originally had two elder brothers, the eldest brother died on the battlefield, and the second brother was killed with his parents a few years ago, and now there are only two brothers and sisters left in their family. And three years ago, he found that someone was molesting a woman from a good family, stepped forward to stop it, and accidentally beat someone to death, and as a result, it made a big fuss, and all kinds of attacks that pointed at the deer as a horse came like a tide, and he only reacted after he was imprisoned, he was framed by someone by design, and the inherited princely title was deprived of hereditary rights.

Lan Ruoting said with relief: "Don't worry, the county lord is hiding in a safe place, and he will be able to see him when he turns around." ”

Shang Chaozong bowed slightly, as if relieved, and then frowned again: "There is one thing that I am quite puzzled about, in the prison, people keep forcing me to ask me, asking me to confess the whereabouts of the 100,000 'crow generals' in my father's hands, which makes me inexplicable, does Mr. know what's going on?"

Lan Ruoting sighed, "This is something I did, and it has caused the prince to suffer." ”
