Chapter 49 Decision
The afternoon sun shines on the corridor under the eaves. The reflection on the corridor ground makes the windows look a little hazy and make people feel tired. However, Duan Shao is energetic at this moment because he sees someone.
This person shouldn't have appeared here.
"Brother..." Duan Yuying covered her mouth and looked at her brother, which was both shocked and surprised.
"You, why are you here?" Duan Shao asked. If it weren't for the two maids waiting next to him, he really wanted to step forward and shaking his sister's shoulders and shouting.
"I, I..." Duan Yuying's eyes darkened and she vaguely said: "I was caught..."
Duan Shao felt unbelievable: "Catched? Catched from Yecheng?"
"No, yes, it's Your Majesty who led the army in person, I'll follow you..." Duan Yuying lowered her head and her voice gradually lowered: "I'm in the camp and was captured..."
"I was captured in the camp!!"
Duan Shao felt even more incredible: Gao Yang led the army to fight in person, surrounded by imperial guards, not to mention that there were so many troops.
If he was attacked by the Liang army while out, his sister who served Gao Yang was arrested in chaos, it would be reasonable, but he was arrested in the camp...
So, how did his sister get caught?
So many guards, all the soldiers and horses are blind and deaf?
Or did a monster fly into the camp and capture people out of thin air?
Duan Shao couldn't figure it out, but he just felt unbelievable.
"Brother, over the past year, I thought that my brother had already...."
Duan Yuying was talking and sobbing, "As a few days ago, I was in the pavilion on the mountain and saw among the few people working below, my brother was included..."
So that's it. Duan Shao remembered that a few days ago, he and others did work on the canal on the hillside with others.
Going further up the location, there was indeed a pavilion, where a woman stayed in the pavilion.
However, two of them were wearing vertebral caps. He couldn't see his appearance clearly and could not stare at him carefully, otherwise he would be whipped.
Now my young and beautiful sister is here, not in the Yecheng Palace or by Gao Yang's side. She feels angry but helpless.
This time, Gao Yang's personal expedition not only failed to break through Hanshan, but also turned many soldiers down, which was already embarrassing.
However, unexpectedly, he was captured from the heavily guarded camp, which was simply a shame.
From this we can imagine how angry Gao Yang would be, but so what?
Pengcheng and Hanshan are still under the control of the Liang army. Liang State has Pengcheng and has gained a firm foothold in Huaibei.
And all this was done by that person. Now, what will happen if a sister with talent and talent falls into the other party’s hands?
There is no need to ask such things, and it will make my sister feel ashamed. Duan Shao only wants to know her sister’s intention: “A sister, you saw me that day, so why did you think about saving someone?”
"Yes, I, I'm afraid my brother can't stand it, something unexpected happens, so, so..."
As expected, Duan Shao didn't know whether to be happy or angry. If he continued to conceal his identity, he might have a chance to escape and return to Qi.
But according to the strict system of Liang's management of prisoners over the past year, he could not find any flaws at all, and the possibility of escaping was actually very low.
As the situation in Hanshan stabilizes, these prisoners who have been enslaved for nearly a year are highly likely to be sent elsewhere. At that time, they will either go south or be sent to the mine and work until they are exhausted.
In contrast, being exposed cannot be said to be in a desperate situation.
Because, the young and beautiful sister will definitely be taken over by Li Li. If she is favored, for the sake of her sister, perhaps Li Li will just put him under house arrest.
It was a shame that Duan Shao felt ashamed of himself by relying on his sister's dedication to live a life of silence.
When Duan Yuying saw that her brother's face turned pale, she said that her brother was angry and did not dare to speak. She lowered her head, tears fell down, and her body twitched.
Seeing that his sister was like this, Duan Shao quickly comforted him: "Brother, you don't blame you. You have been wronged for the Duan family more than once..."
After saying this, Duan Yuying covered her mouth and started crying again.
"Don't cry, brother won't blame you." Duan Shao said slowly, "You always suffer grievances for the Duan family, brother won't blame you."
Seeing that his brother really didn't blame him, Duan Yuying gradually calmed down and wiped away her tears. She talked to Duan Shao for a while, but was interrupted by the maid: "Madam, the time is up."
On the side, the water leaked had already leaked, indicating that the "conversation time was over". This was agreed in advance. No matter how much Duan Yuying had to say in her heart, she could only leave at this moment.
Duan Shao felt sad when he watched his sister leave.
My sister has already felt wronged once for the Duan family.
At the beginning, Gao Cheng was suddenly assassinated and died. Erlang Gaoyang, who has always been looked down upon, took on the heavy responsibility. He quickly stabilized the overall situation and performed well, as if he had become a different person.
The Jinyang Wuxun was beaten up by Gao Cheng before, and he thought Gao Erlang was a coward, but after he took power, he had to rely on them and the "old men". As a result, Gao Yang was more inclined to value Yecheng bureaucrats, making Wuxun anxious.
My aunt (Lou) was also very anxious because she had been bad to Gao Yang since she was a child and even ignored her concubine's son to bully Gao Yang, so the relationship between the mother and the son was very indifferent.
In order to ease the relationship and to avoid the position of queen of the new dynasty being occupied by a Han girl (Gao Yang's official wife Li Zu'e was born in the Li family of Zhaojun), his aunt made a marriage and asked Duan Yuying to marry Gao Yang.
He also promised the Duan family that Gao Yang would be the queen and that the position of empress must be Duan Yuying.
Therefore, Duan Yuying actually serves as a concubine for Gao Yang, but the courtesy is like a real wife. Gao Yang married his cousin Duan Yuying into the house according to the etiquette of marrying a wife.
On the night of the wedding, Duan Shao's official wife, Aunt Yuan Qu, made trouble for the groom according to customs, which angered Gao Yang. Gao Yang told Duan Shao that he wanted to kill Aunt Yuan Qu.
The scene was extremely awkward, and no guests dared to come out to persuade him, and Duan Shao dared not say anything because he knew that this was his cousin's excuse to give everyone a warning, including his aunt.
Gao Yang is about to become the emperor of the new dynasty, and no one dares to offend Gao Yang. Even Duan Shao, who has a very high status, can only give in and dare not plead for his wife.
Therefore, the night his sister married Gao Yang, she was actually humiliated. After that, Gao Yang became emperor, and the empress was still Li Zu'e.
My sister has an outstanding appearance and a noble family. She could have married a noble child and become a family member, but she suffered grievances for the future of the Duan family.
Now, in order to save him, he suffered another grievance.
Duan Shao felt that his sister was pitiful, and then he was taken to a room where Li Li was already waiting.
When doing things, you must clean up the beginning and end and not leave any handles, so Li Li made an arrangement: "Liang Xiaoyan, I have some things, you have to do."
......
Duan Yuying, whose eyes were slightly red due to crying, came to the study uneasy and accepted the question from Mrs. Xinping.
Just now, she met her brother. Although she didn't know what her brother would do next, it seemed that she would not lose her life. So whether she would serve Xinping Gong next depends on her wife's decision.
When he arrived at the study, he saw Huang Gui calm down and asked her to sit down and have tea.
Duan Yuying dared not sit, but it was better to obey his orders than to be respectful. Huang Ying knew that this person was not used to drinking tea, so she asked the maid to bring warm water, chatted for a few words, and got to the point:
"It's important. I can't hide it from Junhou. Your brother will not have any trouble, but you have to be under house arrest. Junhou does what he says, don't worry."
Duan Yuying quickly stood up and saluted: "Thank you Mrs.!"
"If you want to thank Junhou, he made the decision. However, from now on, you will not be a guest of Xinping Gong, but a female teacher I invited. Please sit down."
"I...I dare not..." Duan Yuying was very tactful. She couldn't help but feel helpless now and was not qualified to put on any airs.
"Please sit down, you are the female teacher I invited, not a slave." Huang Yan asked Duan Yuying to sit down and began to make requests.
A female teacher, who teaches women's merits, is the teacher of a wealthy woman.
It seems strange to have a noble lady in Qi become a female teacher and teach the daughter of the Duke and Marquis of Liang. After all, the living customs and etiquette of the two countries are very different.
Therefore, Huang Yan actually gave Duan Yuying a formal identity and lived in the mansion under the name of teaching her daughter to play the piano.
This is also the agreement reached between her and Li Li: Duan Shao will be disposed of by Li Li and Duan Yuying will be arranged by her.
Li Li is not allowed to touch Duan Yuying without her permission.
Duan Yuying is versatile, so it is suitable to be a female teacher.
Huang Yan was in a good mood as he thought about it. Duan Yuying observed his words and expressions. Seeing this person happy, he couldn't help but hold on to his clothes: Could it be, is I going tonight?
"Miss Duan, from today on, you will be the female teacher I hired. I have the final say on what you should and should not do."
"There is no one else in the mansion who can instruct you. If there is, you don't have to listen, just report to me."
"Yes, madam."
Huang Gui suddenly said, "Even a lord cannot."
"Ah? Yes..."
Duan Yuying's face was as usual, but she was quite happy: Is it true?
