The letter was written by Ma Yun and told Liu Xin about a major event in the palace. Liu Yu and Bian Zhang disappeared at the same time.
Liu Xin is strict with his children and does not allow them to have any privileges. The children walk to the academy every day for class, and they also dine in the academy with other students at noon, never specializing.
On this day, the children left the palace gate early in the morning as usual. But at noon, Cai Yong came to see him. 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 he was halfway down the road. Liu Yu suddenly shouted that his stomach hurts. To make it easier, Bian Zhang also went with him, but he never returned to the academy. Cai Yong was a little worried, and came to visit specially.
Ma Yun was taken aback, and said, "These children rarely get sick, and I haven't heard anyone say that the two of them are going back to the palace. Send someone to look for it, and don't do anything."
This accident reminds Ma Yun of when he was in Xiangyang, Han Dang ambushed Liu Yu and took hostages. However, the current situation is different from that of the past. Among Liu Xin's children, Liu Yu and Bian Zhang are the ones who like to dance with spears the most. Especially Liu Yu, even though he was only seventeen years old, he was already eight feet away. He was a martial artist, and he was unable to get close to a dozen or so guards. If it was an ambush by someone else, Liu Yu would certainly not be caught. In the event of a fierce battle, there are many guards in Chang'an, and the guards will hear the wind, and it is impossible to be silent.
Thinking of this, Ma Yun calmed down a bit. Such a big boy is just playful, active, and a little rebellious. Maybe these two kids skipped school. No matter what happens, the two children must be retrieved first.
The guards quickly brought two police dogs. A few years ago, it was the big dog Ahuang raised by Ma Yun found the hiding place of Sun Ce, Han Dang and others and made great contributions. Now Ah Huang is old and has retired to the "second line". A large number of young professionally trained police dogs have begun to spread in the yamen and the army.
The police dog sniffed Liu Yu's clothes in the palace, and then tracked it down. It was the road the children took to the academy. Halfway through, the two police dogs suddenly turned into a fork in the road. It must be here, and Liu Yu yelled that his stomach hurts. Following this fork road and turning two alleys, the police dog finally stopped and barked at a house.
The guards quickly surrounded the house and were about to smash open the gate, but Ma Yun stopped it. She looked familiar to this house, and when she thought about it carefully, it turned out to be the property of the Huang family. After Huang Yueying entered Beijing to study, Huang Chengyan set up a house in Chang'an City for her mother and daughter to live in. It was only when Huang Yueying passed the year of Jihua, but it was inconvenient for her to study with the boys again, Huang Chengyan took their mother and daughter back to Xiangyang, and the house was vacant. It has been more than two years.
However, Ma Yun heard Cai Jue talk about it a few days ago that Huang Chengyan's family went to the capital again. Originally, Ma Yun planned to take their family into the palace and play for two days, but Liu Xin was busy with the West Expedition, and had not been free.
Thinking of this, Ma Yun couldn't help but hesitate. Although Liu Yu has already signed a marriage contract with Huang Yueying, it is only because Liu Yu is not an adult, the marriage has never been done. But in this age, for Huang Yueying, she has become an older girl. Could it be Liu Yu who came to meet Huang Yueying for a private meeting? Even if the two have already had a marriage contract, spreading their reputation with them would be a big obstacle.
At this moment, the courtyard door opened with a "creak". Huang Chengyan heard the dog barking outside the door and came out to check the movement. He didn't want to see a large group of guards. He was immediately shocked. He saw Ma Yun again and hurriedly said: "I don't know if your mother is coming here, Xiaomin has lost his way. Welcome, please forgive me."
Now that they met, Ma Yun stopped evasive, raised her hand, and said, "My family, don't be polite. Dare to ask Mr. Huang, has Yuer ever been here?"
Huang Chengyan nodded and said, "The first 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 also thought about it. At that time, the ethics education was even strict. Since Huang Chengyan was at home, he would never let the two children have a private meeting. Just now, he was too worried. The most urgent thing is to find Liu Yu and ask: "Mr. Huang knows. What did he borrow?"
Huang Chengyan thought for a while, and said, "It seems that Yueying made some gadgets, but Xiaomin is not very clear about it. Since the empress is here, it's better to let the little girl speak for herself."
Ma Yun nodded, and led several female guards into the Huang Family House. With little effort, Huang Yueying turned out from the back hall and saluted Ma Yun. In two years, Huang Yueying became more and more handsome when she came out. Ma Yun saw her in her eyes, full of joy, just thinking of Liu Yu's whereabouts, and had no time to chat with her, and asked bluntly: "Yueying, Yuer borrowed from you. What? Do you know where he went?"
"Hui Niangniang, things are like this. After Minnu returned to Xiangyang, she often exchanged letters with him. A few days ago, Minnu made a crossbow and told him in the letter. Later, he wrote back and wanted one. A copy of Liannu's pattern. It happened that this time she went to Beijing with her father, and the daughter of the people made two pieces and brought them over. The one he borrowed was Liannu." Huang Yueying paused and said with a blushing face, "However, , Minnv never met him before, 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 people's daughter, but the people's daughter guessed one or two." Huang Yueying said suddenly, "He is so anxious to borrow Liannu, he must have gone to the army!"
Ma Yun suddenly realized, and said: "Yeah! Why didn't I think about it! Come, come back to the palace and have a look, is the Fangtian painted halberd still?"
The guards rushed away long ago. Ma Yun drew Huang Yueying to the front and asked with a smile: "Yueying, you made Liannu, why haven't you heard Liu Yu talk about it?"
Huang Yueying lowered her head and whispered: "Hui Niangniang, I didn't let him say it. This kind of crossbow can only shoot three arrows in a row. Minnu has always wanted to make a new type of crossbow that can shoot ten arrows in a row, but it hasn't succeeded yet. ."
Ma Yun knew in her heart that the weapon Huang Yueying envisioned for shooting ten arrows in a row was probably the legendary Zhuge Liannu, but I'm afraid that it won't have anything to do with Zhuge Liang from now on. At this time, the personal guards had brought back the news, and the Fang Tian painted halberd in the warehouse had disappeared.
This Fangtian painted halberd was originally a magical soldier in Lu Bu's palm, and later became Zhu Rong's trophy in the battle of Xiangyang. Liu Xin had also played for a while, and felt that it would be better to get up with a flying knife. Anyway, he didn't have to personally charge into the battle, so he put this divine weapon on the shelf.
Studying in the academy requires not only literary, but also martial arts, and with the guidance of fierce men like Xu Huang and Zhang Fei, Liu Yu is already quite accomplished in weapons. Later, he copied the Shaking Halberd Technique from Liu Xin. In his spare time, he often went to the warehouse to take out Fang Tian's halberd to practice. He already danced decently. This Fang Tian painted halberd is too heavy, except for him and Bian Zhang, the other children can't hold it. Now, this Fang Tian painted 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 didn't believe that Huang Yueying was just relying on speculation. Maybe Liu Yu revealed some thoughts in the letter, but Ma Yun didn't want to pursue anything. In this era, husband and wife sing songs are important. Huang Yueying, as Liu Yu's fiancée, may also have her problems.
Ma Yun waved back from his guards and said to Huang Chengyan and his daughter: "The matter may be just as Yueying guessed, Liu Yu joined the army. You must keep this matter absolutely confidential, and you must not mention it to anyone!"
Without waiting for Huang Chengyan to speak, Huang Yueying had already said first: "It's not the lady who asks, and the folk girls don't dare to talk nonsense. We will never reveal this matter."
Ma Yun nodded and said, "Now that we know their whereabouts, things will be much easier. My palace is going to go back and arrange some things, so I'll leave. Yueying, I hope I can see your new Liannu as soon as possible."
Back to the palace, Bian Yu was crying there. Ma Yun sighed and said, "I blame Yu'er for being bad. He grows up and wants to go out and make trouble. I won't blame him. It's just that Zhang'er is so old that he dared to take Zhang'er out with him."
Bian Yu wiped her tears and said, "Sister, Zhang'er must have pestered Yu'er. It's all my sister and godchild, but I don't blame Yu'er."
Cai Yan persuaded 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 Pegasus to his father. It's just that this matter should not be made public, so as not to be caught up in the night, if you want to chase them back, you can only send them from the palace. People go. If the people who go have a low status, I'm afraid I can't persuade these two boys. I can't say, only one of the sisters will go."
Zhu Rong volunteered and said: "Let me go!"
Ma Yun thought for a while, and said, "With my sister's martial arts, I can go. It's just a long journey, although I need a guide. Sister Jue, or you let Cai He come here."
Cai Jue was embarrassed: "Your decree, let him face the wall at home and think about it. He is not allowed to step out of the room within three years, I am afraid..."
Diao Chan stood up and said: "Sisters, the younger sister has accompanied you to the Western Regions until Wuzhicheng is back. She knows the path, or let her accompany sister Rong."
Ma Yun shook her head and said, "Mr. Hua and Zhang have just found out the root cause of the disease for my sister. My sister is just waiting to recuperate. How can I travel?"
It turned out that Diao Chan had been married to Liu Xin for so long, and his stomach remained silent, which became Diao Chan's biggest heart disease. The two genius doctors Zhang Ji and Hua Tuo worked together for a long time to diagnose, and finally determined that it was caused by Diao Chan's long-term waistbanding in order to correct the dancing posture. Now is the critical period of treatment. If anything goes wrong, it will cause lifelong regrets.
Diaochan remained silent for a long time, and resolutely said: "No one is sure whether my sister's illness can be cured, but the affairs of Yu'er and Zhang'er can't be delayed for a moment, let me go!"
Zhu Qian, who had not spoken all the time, said suddenly: "I thought of a suitable candidate."
