After dismissing the dozen maids, Li Yuguo had a rare dream. In the dream, he returned to the prosperous Tang Dynasty, with Changsun Wuyou and Queen Xue beside him. After he enjoyed the rare tranquility, the sun pulled him out of his dream. return.
But as soon as he returned to this deserted room, Li Yuguo felt more or less lonely. This kind of loneliness was indescribable, as if there were suddenly a lot of things missing around him.
It's like waking up from a dream, and it's like a world away.
Suddenly, Li Yuguo thought of Diao Chan, but he didn't know if Diao Chan was still in this world. For a moment, he felt melancholy and sighed again and again.
What Li Yuguo didn't know was that there was a mountain not far from Luoyang. There was a beautiful woman on the mountain who was in a daze in front of the cliff. This person was Diao Chan. There was a temple on the cliff with a group of nuns inside, far away from the hustle and bustle of the world.
"Female donor, what do you remember?" A nun over forty years old came closer, she looked at Diao Chan and said.
"Except for remembering that my real name is Ren Hongchang, I can't remember anything else." Diao Chan said in despair.
"Sigh... The girl may have been a knight. She hung on a dead branch on the waterfall for three days and three nights without falling. Such patience is also rare in the world. In fact, the world today is just a quagmire. The donor is here We have been here for half a year, why not become a nun like us and stay away from the hustle and bustle of the world?" the nun said.
"But I always remember that I... there seems to be a very important person beside me. He has been waiting for me to come back." Diao Chan opened her red lips lightly and said slowly.
"Miss Ren!" A shout came from a distance, and the person who came was Cheng Yu, the great counselor around Cao Mengde who had fallen out of favor.
Seeing Cheng Yu, Diao Chan's expression improved slightly: "Sir, you are here."
"Miss Ren, I have prepared fine silk and these rouge and gouache for you," Cheng Yu said.
Now Diao Chan is Cheng Yu's only hope and Cheng Yu's trump card. Cheng Yu has no intention of revealing all this until there is a life and death crisis. In fact, as early as Diao Chan fell off the cliff, Cheng Yu quietly ordered people to go search for her, only to find out A rosary.
Cheng Yu is so smart that he knows that wherever there are rosary beads, there are temples and monks. Although there are no monks here, there are on the mountains.
In the city of Luoyang, there is a famous nunnery called "Hongchen Nunnery". It is the final destination of a group of poor women. They are far away from the world and have various origins.
Some people were born into official families, but because of the genocide, they could only hide here.
Some people are promiscuous women who have tasted the ups and downs of the world and gradually give up, so they come to this pure land to spend the rest of their lives.
Most of them are women from poor families. Some have lost their parents, some have lost their husbands or brothers, and they are helpless. Women are in a pitiful situation in this world. There are wars everywhere nowadays, and women have no choice. This place can only come here.
Cheng Yu knew that Diao Chan was here, but he didn't say anything. He said that Diao Chan was born in a famous family and was killed by a strong man, so he ended up here.
Diao Chan is also a smart woman, but she is only half-believing and dubious. However, in the past six months, Cheng Yu has repeatedly helped the nunnery, and the female mages have accepted him and let him come to see Diao Chan.
Because he is forty years old and can be Diao Chan's father, so he only comes to meet him as an elder, but half of what he says is the truth. Diao Chan really has no relatives in Luoyang City, and her relatives, In Jingzhou, three thousand miles away.
"Sir, thank you for your help. If it weren't for your help in the past six months, I'm afraid the life here would be unimaginable." The female mage said.
Cheng Yu sighed: "Nowadays, the world is so hot and cold, there is nothing we can do... This is the daughter of my old friend, I can only help her a little."
Cheng Yu sighed for himself, because Sima Yi had made many military exploits recently, and his position had been threatened. He knew that if he didn't leave, he might not have a chance to leave. Sima Yi was so ambitious, he wanted to take Cao Mengde Instead, Cao Mengde believed in him deeply and believed that Sima Yi was a popular name and a rare genius. However, the real situation was extremely cruel because Sima Yi was ambitious and took advantage of everyone around him. , including Cao Mengde, including everyone around him.
Cheng Yu understood everything, but in order to protect himself, he could only pretend to be confused.
"Sir, you said you want to take me to find my family?" Diao Chan said.
Cheng Yu sat on a stone. He gritted his teeth and said, "My child, I have to tell you something. You actually have a family, and this family is your husband. His name is Li Huguo..."
As soon as these words came out, Diao Chan couldn't believe it: "Li Huguo?"
"Yes, that's Li Bolong. He is now the Commander-in-Chief of the nine counties of Jingxiang. He is a general in charge of an army of 300,000 people. He can be said to rule the sky with one hand in the land of Jingxiang. He can also be regarded as a great hero in this world. But This time... I beg you, Miss, to save my life!" As he spoke, Cheng Yu knelt on the ground.
Cheng Yu knelt down, and Diao Chan was flattered: "Sir, please don't do this, you are humiliating this little girl!"
"If Miss doesn't agree, I will kneel to death here!" As he said that, Cheng Yu hit his head on the ground, and blood spurted out.
Diao Chan was so frightened that she screamed, and she said: "You, don't do this! Sir, I promise you, isn't it enough to promise?"
"Okay, I need you, Miss, to go back to Jingxiang with me and make Miss promise to protect me. Otherwise, I will definitely die, because I also assisted Dian Wei and Xu Chu in setting up a killing trap and killed three of Li Yuguo's men. Good brother, now the other generals in Jingxiang probably hate me so much that they wish they could eat my flesh raw, sleep on my skin, and drink my blood!" Cheng Yu said.
Diao Chan felt a pain in her head, and suddenly some pictures appeared, because Cheng Yu reminded Diao Chan that she also remembered some things, although these things were still very vague.
At this moment, a nun hurriedly ran over: "No, there are already a large number of military masters at the foot of the mountain. They seem to be going up the mountain to arrest someone?"
"They are here to catch me, this damn Sima Yi!" Cheng Yu said.
At this time, the female mage came up and said: "Sir, there is a trail going down the mountain here. You and Miss Ren go down first. Our nunnery is a quiet place, so they don't dare to mess around!"
"Okay, thank you so much, Master!" With that, Cheng Yu and Diao Chan walked away. At the foot of the mountain, Sima Yi led several generals and came fiercely towards the mountain. Xu Chu said: "Military advisor, what do you mean, Master Cheng Yu?" Actually collaborating with the enemy, this... this is still unlikely... "
"The prime minister personally ordered it, how can it be false?" Sima Yi said with an angry look.
