Chapter 255: The Storm Changes
On the road from southern Xinjiang to Yizhou, Lan Suwan and Hua Yushi rode back and forth, and it had been a few days.
When the sun is scorching, insects, birds, and cicadas are buzzing, and the air is steaming with heat, which is stuffy and dry.
Along the way, the closer you get to Yizhou, the more you can see the travelers in a hurry, who will look sideways because of the snow-white thighs looming between the flowers and rain stones on horses and the skirts, regardless of men and women.
or shy or dry, or scolding quietly.
Lan Suwan gritted her teeth and rode forward, refusing to ride close to Hua Yushi, and only walked forward with her head bored.
Hua Yushi followed her carelessly, and when she was tired of following, she got off the horse and rested on her own, and only found out when Lan Suwan walked far away several times, and then turned back to wait for her far away.
Before entering the border of Yizhou, Hua Yushi walked for an hour and then impatiently jumped off the horse in front of a tea shed in the suburbs to rest.
Lan Suwan heard the sound and looked back at her, Hua Yushi was indifferent, Lan Suwan had to wait for her on a horse from afar.
"Girl, the sun is so shining, why don't you get off the horse and drink a bowl of herbal tea in the tea shed to rest?" Xiao Er in the tea shed said diligently.
Lan Suwan hesitated for a moment, she was also dizzy from the sun, thinking that she didn't know how long she would have to wait, and it was useless to urge, so she also got off the horse and led two horses to the little second brother to feed the water, and found a table to sit down from afar.
In the tea shed, there are mostly pedestrians resting and enjoying the coolness, carrying bags, and some of them are dragging their families with their mouths, and they don't know why they are running around in this summer heat.
Most of the men were so hot that they were bare-chested, covered with the smell of sweat, and they couldn't help staring at her since Hua Yushi entered the tea shed. Especially staring at the snow-white thighs.
Hua Yushi leaned lazily on the simple wooden table except for the hat, and the corners of his mouth were lightly hooked.
Lan Suwan only lowered her head to drink tea, and she didn't remove the hat, and she didn't say anything.
"I think I've escaped here to ......settle down," said a pedestrian who was humane.
Lan Suwan was surprised, and there was confusion in her eyes, so she listened to another person:
"Don't think about stability, I can't see anywhere!
A man in the tea shed spoke loudly: "After the Queen Mother collapsed, I heard that King Ling did not attend the funeral of the Queen Mother, and the emperor sent someone to invite him, and guess what?"
The flower and rain stone still looked lazy, but Lan Suwan was shocked when she heard it, and Huo Ran turned her eyes to look at the person who spoke.
"What's wrong?"
The man looked at the person who asked the questioner, and said with a solemn face: "As a result, the Ling Wang's Mansion is already empty! Not to mention King Ling, except for a few servants and servants, there are no more important people!"
There was a commotion in the tea shed, and there was a lot of noise, and there was a lot of discussion.
"After Wu Yu, King Ling can't sit still?"
"Isn't it, King Ling must have escaped from the capital......"
"That's right, Wu Yu is the younger brother of Empress Dowager Wu and the uncle of King Ling...... How could King Ling sit idly by?"
The more Lan Suwan listened, the more she felt that something was wrong, and she couldn't help but ask, "I don't know, what are you talking about?"
The man who caused the conversation looked back at the girl in blue, and said in surprise: "Where did the girl come from?
Lan Suwan was stunned for a moment: "Dare to ask what's the matter?"
"Yizhou Assassin Wu Yu raised troops in Yizhou and killed the eunuch sent by the emperor to deliver the decree, and it has been made clear that he is going to rebel!"
"Now that King Ling is fleeing from the capital division, he must have to meet Wu Yu, which is also the opposite. ”
With a "bang", the tea bowl in Lan Suwan's hand fell back onto the wooden table.
"I heard that there are still many people trapped in the poison castle in the land of Shu County......
"Don't say it, Wu Yu moved too fast, and even the Qingyun Sect Master didn't have time to leave Yizhou. ”
"Now that Yizhou has been controlled by Wu Yu, it will be difficult to escape. ”
"I'm just wondering, how can Wu Yu have so many soldiers and horses in his hands?"
Lan Su stood up with a sigh, his mind was in turmoil, and he walked quickly to Hua Yushi in a daze: "You...... You get up...... We're on our way now!"
Hua Yushi gently hooked his lips and looked at her, and said in a coquettish voice: "What's the hurry, listen to it again." ”
"You...... You!" Lan Suwan said hurriedly: "If something happens to my master, my junior brother and I will never be nice to you!"
Hua Yushi only sneered softly. "Speaking of which, your junior brother is really filial, for my blind and crippled junior sister, I almost let me take what I want......" I don't know who I thought of, and the eyes of the person in colorful clothes flashed with loneliness. "How similar to a silly girl with a dead eye......"
Lan Suwan was stunned when she heard this, and the next moment she didn't want to pay attention to her nonsense, but said hurriedly: "I'm worried about my master...... Shall we go on the road?" Lan Suwan saw that she was about to cry, and begged her softly: "Second Master, Uncle ......"
Hua Yushi reached out and stroked her cheek, and said with confusion in his eyes: "I ask you, if it were you, it would be willing, right?"
"What?"
"Feed Gu with your body, and exchange me for going to Yizhou to save your master. ”
Lan Suwan was stunned when she heard this.
"Although it is extremely painful and itchy to let the worm Gu crawl all over the body and burrow into the flesh and blood, but I see that kid has a very hard mouth, presumably it must be you, for my junior sister, you are also willing, right?"
Lan Suwan's face turned slightly pale, and she lowered her head and whispered, "Hmm...... Well. ”
Hua Yushi saw her soft white hands trembling pitifully. I couldn't help but chuckle: "It's normal to be reckless, I'm afraid, it's not normal to be afraid~"
Lan Su was stunned for a moment, and suddenly froze in place.
"Let's go~" Hua Yushi took her little hand and walked towards the horse outside the tea shed: "Didn't you say that you were worried about your master?"
Turning over the horse, Hua Yushi fell softly. "If you really want her to die in Yizhou, that person must also be angry with me...... Scold. ”
After that, he put on the hat and rode forward without looking back.
The man in blue stood there for a moment before he got on his horse and followed.
At this time, the man in the tea shed shouted loudly and said, "...... Back then, King Ling was the crown prince, Empress Dowager Wu was the queen, and Emperor Ming Zhen asked the prince's maternal uncle Wu Yu to hold nearly 100,000 soldiers and horses in Yizhou Prefecture, in order to consolidate the power of the prince and stabilize the dynasty, but later it was the seventh prince who became the emperor......"
"Could it be that the emperor didn't take back the 100,000 soldiers and horses in Wu Yu's hands?"
"You don't understand, when the emperor first ascended to the throne, the foundation was unstable, then Wu Yu was a famous veteran, and he had a lot of military exploits, if he was given down without a valid reason, the army's heart would be scattered. The old ministers in the court, who were originally princelings, should also be flustered......"
"People are in a hurry to jump over the wall, if Wu Yu is withdrawn, the princelings will follow the change, and the emperor's dragon chair will not be able to sit steadily...... So today, the emperor not only didn't move Wu Yu, but even Queen Wu didn't move, let his biological mother be the concubine Shugui, and let Queen Wu be the queen mother. ”
"No wonder Empress Dowager Wu is not the emperor's biological mother, but King Ling's biological mother!"
"That's right! The emperor protected Empress Wu, and also let her sit in the position of the queen mother, not only to stabilize King Ling and the princelings, but also to stabilize Wu Yu, who held heavy troops, you must know that this Wu Yu lost his mother in his early years, and was brought up by the eldest sister Empress Wu since he was a child, and I heard that the love with her sister is extremely deep, and with her in the court, Wu Yu will not rebel......
"I heard that Empress Dowager Wu died of a disease, and her death was extremely miserable......"
"Hey! It's just that this rumor from an unknown bastard has reached Wu Yu's ears, saying that the Empress Dowager Wu has been doing well all along, how could she suddenly die violently? And in that palace, who can harm the current Empress Dowager?"
"So it's the emperor's ......!"
"Don't talk nonsense, but this Wu Yu must think so...... So the emperor sent someone to deliver the decree, and Wu Yu killed them on the spot, and now he occupies Yizhou and has controlled all the state and county officials......"
"Now that Yizhou is in chaos, people on the border of Yizhou can run as far as they want. ”
"Originally, Yizhou was governed by Wu Yu, who was assassinated, and it was a treasure land of Shuxiu, but now the people in the state can escape...... Everyone basically knows that Yizhou is definitely going to fight. Brother, I'm the fastest runner......"
Lan Suwan listened more and more, and finally came back to her senses, pursed her lips and solemnly faced, and galloped away in the direction of Yizhou.
