Chapter 66
The window was opened more than two feet, and then a dark figure climbed into the room through the window. The figure was short and did not look like an adult. Xiao Luochen immediately understood who the person was, but before he could confirm, he still chose to pretend to sleep.
Sure enough, I saw the dark shadow tiptoeing towards the bed.
Xiao Buyi called out softly with a tearful tone
"Daddy."
After confirming that the black shadow was Xiao Buyi, Xiao Luochen stopped pretending to be asleep. He immediately sat up and hugged Xiao Buyi in his arms.
"Bu Yi, how did you get in?"
"The post station was short of staff and needed laborers. I disguised myself as a beggar and sneaked into the team. They saw that I was young and could feed the horses, so they kept me."
"Did Grandpa Tieshan bring you here?"
"I begged Grandpa Tieshan to do this. Daddy, we depend on each other. I don't want to go to that Wanhua Castle. Even if I die, I want to die with you."
Hearing Xiao Buyi say this, Xiao Luochen knew that Su Musong had indeed arranged for Xiao Buyi to be fostered in Wanhua Castle. Under the circumstances at the time, it must have been Ning Zhen who was entrusted with the task.
"Where is your brother Ning Zhen?"
Xiao Buyi took out a seal, and Xiao Luochen recognized it. Each of the Su brothers and sisters had one seal. The one in Xiao Buyi's hand should be the one that Su Musong gave to Ning Zhen.
"I don't know. After Brother Zhen came back that day, he gave this to Grandpa Tieshan and asked him to take me to Shenghuang Wanhua Fort. Then Brother Zhen went down the mountain, and I never saw him again."
"I felt something was wrong with Brother Zhen, and I was worried something had happened to you, so I asked Grandpa Tieshan to send someone to Xizhou City to inquire. That's when I learned that Daddy had been taken away by the Xiangping army. That's why I asked Grandpa Tieshan to bring me to find Daddy."
Xiao Luochen knew that given Ning Zhen's personality, he would never watch Wang Zheng take him away without doing anything. If Ning Zhen really did something on impulse, he would probably lose his life in vain. However, he was powerless at the moment.
Wang Zheng suddenly stationed here. Xiao Luochen guessed that something might have happened in the situation in Kyoto.
"Bu Yi, have you heard any news outside?"
"Yes. When we were feeding the horses that day, I heard the leading general say that they seemed to be waiting for someone from Xizhou to return before they set out for Kyoto."
Xiao Luochen understood after hearing this. Wang Zheng stopped here to wait for Xun Molin to return to Beijing.
It seems that the Right Prime Minister has already started to take action. The reason why Xun Molin was transferred back to the capital is simply because they have already classified the Jingxi Marquis Mansion as part of Prince Ding's faction and want to get rid of it as soon as possible. However, they are afraid of the military strength of Xizhou, so they have to wait for Xun Molin to return to the capital before taking any action.
In this case, the military power of Li Pass will probably be lost.
"Bu Yi, you can't stay here. You have to find a way to escape. After you get out, if your Uncle Su sends someone to pick you up, you should leave with that person. Don't follow the escort team anymore."
Xiao Buyi's eyebrows and eyes are very similar to Xiao Luoyao. If Wang Zheng sees them, he may become suspicious of Xiao Buyi's identity, which will make things difficult.
Xiao Buyi just lowered his head but did not agree.
Xiao Luochen knew that this child would not leave easily, so he had to think of a way.
"Buyi, there is something very important that I need you to help Dad do."
Xiao Buyi immediately became alert after hearing this.
"What's up?"
"Daddy wants you to tell Uncle Musong a message. Yuheng appears, and the hidden guards are out."
"What does this mean?"
"Just tell Uncle Mu Song, he'll know what it means. Remember, you must tell him in person and not let anyone else know."
"I remember that."
"Okay. I guess your uncle Mu Song will come to pick you up in the next few days, and you can go with him then."
Xiao Buyi also understood in his heart that his father had found the excuse of passing on the message in order to get him to leave.
"Actually, Uncle Mu Song has already sent someone to pick me up. But I wanted to be with Daddy, so I sneaked in."
Xiao Luochen held Xiao Buyi in his arms, patted his back comfortingly, and said softly
"Believe me, Daddy. We will be reunited in Kyoto soon. You must listen to Uncle Mu Song and remember not to run around when you get to Kyoto."
"I will be good and obedient, Daddy, you can't lie to me."
"Of course. When has Dad ever broken his word?"
Xiao Buyi stayed quietly in Xiao Luochen's arms for a while, and then got up reluctantly.
"Dad, I'm leaving first."
"I'll light a fire later, and you can take advantage of the chaos to get out."
"good."
Watching Xiao Buyi's small figure disappear through the window, Xiao Luochen turned on the fire and burned the bedding.
The dry winter weather, aided by the wind, soon spread the fire. The dozing guard at the door rushed in and carried Xiao Luochen out. But the flames had already reached the top of the beams, and instantly the sky was illuminated.
Xiao Buyi took advantage of the fact that everyone was rushing to fetch water to put out the fire and secretly escaped from the post station.
The fire was eventually put out, but the fire started in such a strange way that Wang Zheng thought Xiao Luochen wanted to create chaos and then escape, so he put him back in the cage.
Su Musong's men brought Xiao Buyi back to a secluded farm outside Beijing. After Su Musong received the news, he waited there early in the morning.
As soon as they met, Su Musong was greeted by Xiao Buyi's questioning.
"How are you going to save Daddy?"
"I'm sorry, Bu Yi, I failed to protect him this time."
Su Musong had promised Xiao Buyi more than once that he would protect them, father and son, but he still watched helplessly as Xiao Luochen was taken to the prison van by Wang Zheng.
"My father is the leader of the Western Border Alliance. It's unclear who will protect whom between you and him. Rescuing him is the most important thing right now. If you can't rescue him, I'll have Grandpa Tieshan lead the others to rescue the prisoner. After all, we are bandits to begin with, so we're not afraid of the soldiers."
Su Musong knew that Xiao Buyi was speaking out of anger, and Xiao Luochen must have found a way to inform those gang members, otherwise they would have taken action long ago.
"Don't worry, Buyi. If I can't save your father, I will die with him."
Xiao Buyi curled his lips. He didn't hate Su Musong, but his father valued him the most in the past. Now there was another person and he couldn't adapt for a while.
"Daddy asked me to tell you a message: Yuheng appears, and the hidden guards come out. He said you will understand what this means, and he specifically told me that I can only tell you one person."
"Yu Heng appears, and the hidden guards come out?"
Su Musong couldn't figure out what message Xiao Luochen wanted to convey to him, and he didn't say it clearly.
"You don't know what that means?"
Seeing Su Musong's puzzled expression, Xiao Buyi suspected that the words his father asked him to bring were just a random fabrication, just to make him leave the post station obediently.
"Bu Yi, you stay here for now, and leave the task of saving your father to me. Believe me, it won't be long before you and your father will be reunited."
"Daddy said the same thing. I hope you won't break your promise."
Xiao Buyi probably knew from his background and attitude that he would be a concern for his father, so the greatest help he could provide was for him to be obedient and not cause trouble.
Soon, news came from Xizhou that Xun Molin and Mu Yao had already set off, and a storm was approaching in Yongjing City.
