Chapter 741: Return to Beijing
Yang Muyun's mood also became complicated. How could Li Yuanlong die in his prime? He stood up and asked the eunuch, "Duke, the king has always been healthy, I don't know why he died?"
The eunuch rolled his eyes and said, "How do we know about this? Yang Zheng, the coffin of the former king was still parked in the palace and had not been buried. You should escort Concubine Shu and Pingyuan County on the road!"
"Please wait a moment, father-in-law," Yang Muyun said with a smile: "I must gather people..."
Before he could finish his words, the eunuch robe whipped his sleeves and said unhappily: "Yang Zhengzheng, the former king ceased the Ling Palace, all the relatives and relatives of the royal family have arrived. Only Concubine Shu and the Duke of Pingyuan County. If you are slowing down here, wouldn't it be a real population? In our family's opinion, you should just hand over it over and escort Concubine Shu and the Duke of Pingyuan County back to Beijing as soon as possible."
"What my father-in-law said is," Yang Muyun said: "After half an hour, I will escort the Empress and Your Highness on the way."
"Yeah..." The eunuch nodded, and an undetectable smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
————————————
As soon as Yang Muyun came out of Wu Xu's courtyard, he ordered Li Xian to call the two general managers Huang Ke, and then ordered them to rectify the team and then return to Beijing.
After everything was explained, Yang Muyun returned to his place to pack his luggage.
"Mu Yun, are you going to go back to Beijing?" Zheng Yu asked when he saw it.
"Well," Yang Muyun nodded slightly and said, "You should also sort it out quickly, we will set off in half an hour."
"So urgent?" Zheng Yu asked in surprise: "Is there something big happening in Beijing?"
"The king unfortunately passed away," Yang Muyun said in a low voice: "Crown Prince Li Bangji has succeeded to the throne, and Queen Ruan Shiying takes over his power to manage state affairs."
"Ah——" Zheng Yu opened his eyes wide in surprise, "How could it be? The king was in his prime, so why did he suddenly die?"
Yang Muyun sighed, "Who can know the reason for this... Don't think so much about it, let's go back to Beijing quickly."
"Yeah." Zheng Yu nodded slightly and turned around to pack up her clothes. But he saw Afu and Ayan standing at the door, frowned and asked, "What are you here for?"
The two girls did not answer and walked straight towards Yang Muyun. They grabbed his arms from left to right and said, "Sir, are you leaving?"
"Um..." Yang Muyun saw that they were crying, and hurriedly glanced at the side and said, "The king's order has been issued, so I will escort the Empress and Your Highness back to Beijing immediately!"
"Sir, don't leave us behind," the second girl sobbed, "Take us away!"
"This...is probably not possible," Yang Muyun shook his head and said, "This time, you must gallop all the way, how can you two stand such bumps?"
"Sir," Ayan stared at him and said, "Afu and I can ride horses. Don't worry, we will not be a drag on you."
"This..." Yang Muyun looked at Zheng Yu, and saw that she was looking at her with a smile, so she said to them cruelly: "The future of this journey is uncertain, and it may be very dangerous..." She was afraid that they would be entangled again, so she said: "In this way, when I return to Beijing, I will send someone to bring you here." After all, she coaxed them. She quickly put on her clothes and came to the residence of Wu Yuyao and his son.
......
Wu's Yuyao and Li Sicheng sighed at their residence director with a sad face, telling Wu Xu the reason for the matter, and Wu Xu's face immediately became solemn.
At this moment, Yang Mu came to ask her and the other to go on the road with his arms.
"Empress, Your Highness, it's time for us to leave."
Li Sicheng hugged Wu Xu's legs with a look of horror and said, "Grandpa, I don't want to leave, I want to stay here."
Wu Xu sighed, not knowing what to say to him.
Wu Yuyao covered her face and cried.
Seeing this, Yang Muyun said, "Empress, Your Highness, the King has passed away. Are all those who have ill-hearted intentions looking at you? You can't act irritably and give someone a handle!"
"Master," Li Sicheng turned to him pitifully and said, "All my mother and I will die once we return to Beijing. The Queen and the Third Prince... they will not let me and Ah mother go."
"Your Highness," Yang Muyun comforted him, "The court has laws. How can the Queen and the Third Highness make things difficult for you in full view of everyone? Besides, the Third Highness has just ascended the throne and he doesn't care about attacking Your Highness and the Empress. But if Your Highness and the Empress do not obey the order, the Queen and the others can hold a charge on you."
Wu Yuyao sighed, stood up and pulled her son and said, "Acheng, Lord Yang is right. Now the king's order has been issued. If you don't follow it, you will be able to give someone a handle. Even if the world is big, I'm afraid there will be no place for us to stay."
"My mother..." Li Sicheng hugged his mother and buried his head deeply in his mother's arms, "I'm afraid...I'm afraid to go back!"
Wu Shi Yuyao stroked his son's hair, patted his back and said, "My mother knows you are afraid, but even if you are afraid, we have to go back. When you see your brother Wang, remember to kowtow... By the way, from now on, you should change your words and call him the king, remember!" She looked at Yang Muyun, "My Lord Yang, I only have such a son, please take good care of him." She bowed slightly to Yang Muyun.
"Empress," Yang Muyun said in surprise: "It is the duty of the officials to protect you and Your Highness's safety. How can you do this? Isn't this a slander?" He bowed and returned the salute.
"Master Yang," Wu's Yuyao stared at him deeply and said, "I am a girl. If any misfortune falls on me, I will accept it. But Ah Cheng is still young, please remember him and call him Master. Be sure not to let others hurt him." The words were meant to entrust her orphans. She knew what she would encounter after returning to the capital, so she begged Yang Muyun to protect his only son.
Yang Muyun's face turned solemn and said sternly: "Don't worry, Empress, the emperor will definitely protect His Highness."
"Mr. Yang," Wu Xu knelt down to him with a sad look on his face, "They are mothers and sons, please ask you."
"Brother Wu..." Yang Muyun quickly supported him, "I should know what to do if I don't need any advice."
......
Yang Muyun led a team of personal guards to escort Wu's Yuyao and Li Sicheng on the road. Due to the haste, the team could only return to Beijing under the leadership of the two general systems of Huang Ke.
There were not many personal guards in his team, only fifty cavalrymen, and the leader was still the commander Li Xian and Zheng Yu, and Mo Buyu and Hu Wenguang were with him.
Seeing that he was a little confused, Zheng Yu said, "Hey, do you regret not bringing them?"
"They?" Yang Muyun was stunned.
"It's those two little beauties!" Zheng Yu glanced at him angrily and said, "How lonely and boring would it be without them on the way?"
"When is it? You still want this," Yang Muyun smiled bitterly, "Now that the new king ascended the throne and Ruan Empress governed, Ruan Chi will be even more arrogant. How should the marquis deal with it then?"
"So what?" Zheng Yu said: "The generals in the army are mostly under my father's command. Even if the Ruan family relies on the new king to ascend the throne, what can they do to my father?"
"It can't be done," Yang Muyun said leisurely: "On the contrary, they may still rely on the Marquis. When the status of Empress Ruan and the new king is consolidated, it will not be too late for them to remove the Marquis when the camera is used!"
"Do they dare?" Zheng Yuxiu raised her eyebrows, "If they dare to be bad for my father, I will pick them with one sword!"
“My young lady,
"Yang Muyun shook his head and said, "You can't use those tricks in the world in the court. Now the title of the monarch and minister has been determined. If the marquis does not retreat bravely, he may be killed!"
"Do you mean to let my father retire and return home?" Zheng Yu asked in an instant.
"The Marquis has achieved success and fame, why should he fall in love with power and position?" Yang Muyun said: "Now that the emperor and the ministers of the Ruan family should take the lead, and the Marquis is the first to be the one who is in trouble. When the former king was in the past, he could still deal with it, but what can he rely on now?"
Zheng Yu was silent. Yang Muyun's words made sense, but can he accept it? Since ancient times, the word "Quan" is the most harmful. How many people fell into it but couldn't pull it out until they died. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but shiver.
"Sir," Mo Buyu said to Yang Muyun: "It's a bit too hasty. It would be great if I brought everyone with me."
"Why are you complaining so much?" Yang Muyun scolded: "What, are you afraid?"
"Sir, don't get me wrong," Mo Buyu said with a smile: "If I were alone, it would be nothing. Wouldn't you escort the princess and the prince back to Beijing? It's safer after all, there are more people."
"Oh." Yang Muyun glanced at the surroundings. The road he was walking was indeed remote, with continuous mountains and lush jungles. It took him a long time to get to a place with a city market.
"Sir, look," Mo Buyu pointed to the hillsides on both sides of the road, "Do you remember when we came here we ambushed a group of barbarians and rescued Dong Pangshe's women and children?"
Yang Muyun looked at the dense grass and trees on the hillside and couldn't help but frown deeply.
"Sir, did I say something wrong?" Seeing that his face was a little unkind, Mo Buyu closed his mouth tactfully.
Yang Muyun ignored him, stopped his retirement, and then ordered Li Xian, "Go and send two teams of people up and search."
Before Li Xian could respond, the eunuch who sent the order came over and shouted with a sharp voice: "Tongzheng Yang, why don't you stop?"
"Father-in-law," Yang Muyun said with a smile: "The mountains are high and dense here, so it's better to be more careful."
"Isn't it difficult to reach this place? Isn't it the jurisdiction of my Dayue?" The eunuch said unhappily: "We walked on this road when we came, and we didn't find anything wrong. Is Commander Yang too sensitive?"
"This place is near Aizhu," Yang Muyun said: "From times, barbarians there cross the border, and it is necessary to send people to explore." Yang Muyun glanced at the carriage that Wu Yuyao and his son were riding. "The Empress and His Highness are both in the carriage. If there is any mistake, I will not be able to afford it."
The eunuch snorted, "Then Yang Zheng should be faster, don't delay the trip."
At this time, flags were uttered in front of him to prove that he was safe and sound. Yang Muyun then ordered the team to continue moving.
Suddenly, the horse pulling Wu Yuyao and his son's carriage, "Herod Lu", neighed, raised its four hooves and ran forward with great strength.
"No, the horse is shocked." Yang Muyun didn't think about it carefully, and chased after him with a whip. The others followed closely.
The frightened horse deviated from the road and rushed into a dense forest. I don’t know how far it took to slowly slow down.
Yang Muyun took the opportunity to take the lead, surpassed the carriage and grabbed the horse's reins, and then stopped the carriage.
"Empress, Your Highness, are you okay?" Yang Muyun asked in front of the carriage.
Wu Yuyao lifted the curtain of the car, her face seemed to be a little shocked, and she looked at Yang Muyun and said, "Mr. Yang, what's going on? Where are we?"
Before Yang Muyun could answer, he heard a gust of wind breaking out, and his face changed. He heard a soldier following him screaming and fell down immediately after he immediately.
