"Grand Master Pang Yu, isn't he your father-in-law?" Yan Yun said in surprise.
"Humph, what kind of father-in-law, old thief, beast..." Di You changed his gentle attitude and cursed loudly, but tears fell down his face and he couldn't stop crying.
Although Yan Yun didn't know what happened, he knew Di You's temperament well. Seeing her lose her composure, he couldn't help but be filled with doubts. He softened his tone and said, "Let's start from the beginning. I can distinguish between true and false words. If You have really suffered a great injustice, and even if it comes to killing someone, I may not be able to make the decision for you!"
"No, Brother Yun, I'm just feeling miserable and want to find someone reliable to talk to." Di You shook her head repeatedly. Just like many years ago, she sat down on the low couch next to Yan Yun and hugged one of his legs. , resting his head on his legs, looking up at Yan Yun, and began to talk.
As early as the beginning of the Qiang people's attack on Longtouguan, Di You's father Di Gong had received military reports, and he also took on the role of raising food and grass for Longtouguan.
More than half a month after the fierce battle at Longtou Pass, Di Gong was unexpectedly summoned by Taishi Pang Yu. He was told that by order of the king, Di Gong was appointed as the general of the expedition, and his son Di Lin was the general of Yangwei. Within ten days, he would rectify the troops and attack the southern barbarians.
"What did you say?" Yan Yun was shocked.
The Qiang people were attacking the city. Dayu had not done enough to appease the Nanman, but he still wanted to attack the Nanman. This was a taboo for military strategists. The way to cause chaos was really against common sense.
"This is absolutely true. In fact, Dayu is currently attacking the Southern Barbarians. The leading generals have been changed twice. The process is not going smoothly. It's just that the Southern Barbarians are not as powerful as the Qiang people. The king also strictly ordered it to be kept secret, so it did not attract too much attention from the people. focus on."
"What will be the outcome of the crusade against the unlucky general?"
"The whole family was slaughtered..."
When Yan Yun heard this, he thought of what Zhitou said again.
But he searched Di You's words and found a loophole, and asked again: "You said it was Taishi Pang who sent an order from the king to summon your father?"
"right!"
"Then how do you judge whether Master Pang's order is true? What if he is pretending to be an edict?"
"I heard from my father that the king has not been in court for a long time and ordered the grand master to supervise the country. However, when the king orders, it is the father-in-law in the palace who announces the edict with the grand master."
“But starting in late spring or early summer?”
"How can I know about the things in the palace? I just heard from my father... It seems that since the beginning of the year, the king has been ill from time to time." Di You thought quickly and wondered, "Why is Brother Yun so concerned about this?"
"Just a casual question."
Of course Di You knew that this was Yan Yun's excuse. He didn't want to say anything, so she stopped asking more questions and continued to tell her story.
Di Gong took Wang Ling and returned to his mansion. The more he thought about it, the more he became afraid. He was afraid that the expedition against the Southern Barbarians would be detrimental to his family, so he summoned Di Lin, Di You and others to discuss countermeasures. Finally, he came up with a way to marry Taishi Pang, hoping that he would be able to succeed. Escape this disaster. When Di Gong raised this matter with Master Pang, the other party asked about Di You carefully and agreed to the marriage request. Only then did Di You go to Longtouguan to cancel the engagement and promised Yan Chang to protect the Yan family. Bloodline contributes. As for why Di You, a female prostitute, did this in person, it was because she was a weak woman, and Yan Chang and others would not embarrass her because of losing face.
When Di You talked about this past event, Yan Yun couldn't help but think of that bloody night with heavy snowfall. He picked up the wine glass on the table and drank it all in one gulp.
"Brother Yun..."
"Pour the wine!"
"If Brother Yun is still reluctant to part with me, but he doesn't dislike me..." Di You pursed his lips and said, his voice getting lower and lower, and the underlying meaning was self-evident.
"This is not like what you said!" Yan Yun stared at Di You fiercely, with fire almost coming out of his eyes. Although Di You was emotional but kept his integrity, in just a few months, he actually became more beautiful than the woman in Yihongyuan. It was so unbearable that it made him feel as if he had swallowed a fly, making him extremely uncomfortable.
"I know that if Brother Yun doesn't like it, there's nothing I can do about it..." Di You said, which made her heart wail so much that she burst into tears for a moment.
"Tell me why you call Pang Yu an old thief. Don't mention it again if it's irrelevant!"
"Brother Yun ordered me, how dare I disobey..." Di You couldn't help himself and choked up.
Yan Yun knew in her heart that Di You must have experienced a painful experience. Seeing her so sad, he couldn't bear it, so he reached out to wipe away the tears on her cheeks.
Di You cried even harder, and it took a long time to recover and continue the previous topic.
After the Longtou Pass was defeated, he immediately reported to the royal city. Out of his past friendship and commitment to Yanchang, Di Gong spoke to Taishi Pang, hoping that Taishi could say a few nice words in front of the king, thinking of the Yan family's dissatisfaction with Dayu. Don't embarrass the family members of General Wuwei's mansion. Taishi Pang agreed immediately, saying that he was eager to have a grandson, and proposed that Di You and his son Pang Dian get married as soon as possible, because the king ordered him to complete all the family affairs and live in the palace permanently from now on.
Di Gong naturally agreed to this.
Although Taishi Pang was a very popular minister, his family was not prosperous. His eldest son died in infancy and his second son, Pang Dian, was not born until he was in his forties. He was very eager to become a grandfather. In line with the idea of getting married sooner rather than later, the Pang and Di families decided that the big day would be within the month, and they chose the auspicious day of the zodiac to spread the wedding invitations. On the auspicious day, eight large sedans carried Di You into the gate of Pang Mansion. However, Master Pang did not appear on his son's big day because he was summoned by the king.
During the dinner, Di You waited in the bridal chamber for her husband Pang Dian to lift the hijab.
Pang Dian drank a lot of wine and was helped into the bridal chamber by the guests. When the door was closed, he walked straight to Di You and sat down as if nothing had happened. It turned out that his so-called drunkenness was just an act.
When the hijab was lifted, Di You saw Pang Dian. He was smiling. Although he was a little fat and far less handsome and majestic than Yan Yun, he still had the temperament of a scholar. He was the son of the grand master of the dynasty, so he could be called To match the talent of a man and the beauty of a woman.
Di You didn't expect that the nightmare would begin!
When Pang Dian tried to get intimate with her, Di You was shocked to discover that his hands looked clean and full of vitality, but in fact they were like the bark of an old tree. Although he was a little fat, his facial muscles seemed to be firm, but Di You felt loose and relaxed, like an old man.
It seems that Pang Dian's appearance and his actual body are completely two different people!
Di You was frightened and asked who the other party was. At first, the other party refused to admit it and said perfunctorily that it was Pang Dian. Why didn't he even know his husband? But when Di You clung to his clothes and refused to obey, the other party finally showed his fierce look, removed his disguise, and revealed his true face.
Like a magic trick, an old man in his sixties with white hair appeared in front of Di You. He had a big belly and a saggy face. Although he was well-maintained, age could not hide the flaws. Di You had seen this man from afar. In fact, the entire Yu Dynasty, both civil and military, feared him like a snake or a scorpion!
When Yan Yun heard this, he blurted out: "A blind trick!"
Immediately, he became furious, stood up, and shouted sternly: "Could it be that old thief Pang Yu?"
