Chapter 30

After one night of repair, when Fu Sigui and Zhu Danchen saw Shen Yuanjing again, they seemed much more polite and respectful. It was obvious that the other two had informed them of Yun Zhonghe's execution last night.

Duan Yu explained to Shen Yuanjing a little, and said that his mother Dao Baifeng had some misunderstandings with his father, and he wanted to make a move. So the group rode on a horse and headed to his mother's residence.

After leaving home for many days, he was very happy now. He discussed poetry and songs with Zhu Danchen all the way, just like a spring outing. He rode a horse through several hills and small rivers, and arrived at Yuxu Temple.

Duan Yu stepped forward and knocked on the door, shouting, "Mom, Mom!" A Taoist nun turned out from inside, with a beautiful appearance and looked less than forty. When he saw him, he smiled and walked over quickly, handed the whisk to his left hand, and grabbed his ear with his right hand, cursed, "Boy, you have become capable, have you learned to run away from home?" Zhu Danchen also came here a few days ago, and she was still a little worried.

Duan Yu tilted his head, shouting pain in his mouth, and said with a smile: "Mom, let go, there are friends here."

When Dao Baifeng heard this, he looked forward. In addition to the four guards of Chu Gu Fu Zhu, there was indeed a strange face. He let go, pointed his finger on his forehead, and scolded with a smile: "Next time, I will not interrupt your dog's legs."

She looked at Shen Yuanjing as if she was younger than Duan Yu, with a beautiful appearance and extraordinary demeanor, and was happy: "My son has indeed grown up, and now he has made such outstanding people." Her face turned kind and she said with a smile: "Yu'er, why don't you introduce this young hero to me?"

Duan Yu smiled bitterly and said, "Brother Shen, I met this brother in trouble. I saved me several times." He said, winked at his mother, meaning to pay attention to the name and not scream like "Young Hero".

Dao Baifeng was a little puzzled. When he looked back, Chu Wanli and Gu Ducheng looked a little wrong. He felt a little shocked, and he thought that this young man had a big head and could not be offended, so he became much more solemn.

Seeing that his mother seemed to have understood her thoughts, Duan Yu felt relieved in his heart. He recalled the purpose of this trip, stepped forward and hugged her neck, and said, "Mom, I'm afraid I'm going to be confined this time. Go back with me, say a few good things to me, and accompany me, okay?"

Dao Baifeng remembered Duan Yu's father's romantic affairs, and his anger surged upwards, but he didn't want to. He had no choice but to say it truthfully: "Sanren, now the four evil people are coming, the prince is worried about your comfort, and he repeatedly told us to take you back." He said that, and glanced at Shen Yuanjing secretly, not knowing what it meant.

"No!" Dao Baifeng turned around and cried silently. Duan Yu immediately said, "Okay, if you don't go, I will stay here to accompany you. We, mother and son, will deal with the two evil people together."

Dao Baifeng laughed out loud and said, "You are not afraid of being shy and have no power to tie a chicken. Don't stay here to drag me down. Go and go, go back quickly. There are two evil people. If you can deal with one, I will burn the incense."

Duan Yu was not willing to accept it. He tried to force himself all day, and four guards were there to persuade him. She felt it was not easy to neglect Shen Yuanjing, so she reluctantly agreed to go back. Finally, she proposed that she only wanted to go to Uncle Duan Yu's house and live with her sister-in-law.

After finally comforting his mother, Duan Yu took the time to apologize to Shen Yuanjing: "Brother Chen, I didn't mean to hide it from you. I am indeed from the Duan family in Dali. My father is Duan Zhengchun, the king of Dali Town, and my uncle is Duan Zhengming, the current Dali Emperor."

Shen Yuanjing smiled slightly, not surprised, and said nothing.

...

The group arrived very smoothly outside Dali City. Gu Ducheng went to report first. Duan Zhengchun led the team early, posed in a formation, and welcomed him outside.

When he saw Duan Yu, he first scolded him sternly: "Yu'er, you are really a mess. If it weren't for this Mr. Chen's rescue, ten lives wouldn't be enough for you to do whatever you want."

After saying that, he bowed to Shen Yuanjing and said, "Thank you, Mr. Chen, for repelling Ye Erniang and Yun Zhonghe and saving the lives of Chu, Gu, and the children."

Shen Yuanjing returned the greeting gently and said, "It's just a matter of what happened." His attitude was impartial and there was no point in being arrogant, which made Duan Zhengchun worried about leaving.

He urged the horse's head and slowly reached more than a foot in front of the sword Baifeng horse. The two of them looked at me and I looked at you, and no one spoke. Duan Yu held back his smile, went over to hold his mother, and said, "Mom, look, Daddy has come to pick you up in person. Let's work together to Zhennan Prince's Mansion."

Before he finished speaking, Dao Baifeng and his horse head were about to go to the Dali Palace. Duan Zhengchun hurriedly stopped him and said with apologies: "Madam, let's go home, I will apologize with you slowly." She just refused, and the father and son could let him go, so they all wanted to go to the palace.

With a command, thousands of iron-armored men moved, straddling front, back, left and right, and surrounded several people to the city. When they arrived at the south gate of Dali City, the people cheered loudly wherever the banner of Zhennan King went: "The Prince of Zhennan King was a thousand years old!"

Duan Zhengchun waved his hand and answered, and went to see the three people following behind. Dao Baifeng still looked cold, but there was a clear feeling between her eyebrows. Duan Yu smiled and stood on the horse's back.

However, Shen Yuanjing's expression was as usual, and his usual appearance made him feel terrified. It should be noted that even a great man in the world would be afraid when he saw thousands of troops for the first time; when facing the cheers of the people in the city, he would not feel turbulent. Such a calm look made him recall some of the words Gu Ducheng said, and he would inevitably feel suspicious and secretly warned.

The Dali Palace is not as beautiful as the Southern Song Dynasty Palace. The luxury of the Jin Dynasty Palace is even better than the solemn and profound, as if there is a trace of the Tang Dynasty left.

Emperor Duan Zhengming was waiting for several people in the side hall. After some communication, Duan Zhengchun and his family of three went inside first. Not long after, an eunuch came out and said, "The emperor has an order to meet Shen Yuanjing."

Shen Yuanjing sneered in his heart, and did not bother with them, and stepped into the hall with his head held high. Duan Zhengchun and Duan Yu stood on the right, with a middle-aged man with a wide robe and big sleeves at the bottom, with an elegant appearance, holding an iron flute in his hand, but the sword Baifeng disappeared.

There was a man sitting in the middle, with a long beard and yellow robe, with a handsome appearance, and a bit majestic when he looked closely. The eunuch knelt down on the ground and reported: "Shen Yuanjing came to see him..."

Before he finished speaking, Shen Yuanjing asked to wave his hand to interrupt: "No need to talk too much, I know that Duan Zhengming is above." The eunuch was so scared that he yelled in a hurry: "Bold, dare to call His Majesty the name!"

"Isn't it just a name that makes people call me? Are there any boldness or timidity?" Shen Yuanjing said, looking around again, seeing that there is nothing, he shook his head and said, "It's not a way to treat guests."

Duan Zhengming laughed, stood up, walked past, stopped the middle-aged man's movements with his eyes, and said, "The distinguished guest is coming, and the glory is shining. I am indeed neglecting it."
