Chapter 12 This is life
The next day.
On the court of Chang'an City.
Prime Minister Xiao Ye said: "Emperor Qi, the criminal Lu Xiang was rescued by the anti-thief Barcelona during his execution yesterday, killed the prison officer, the executioner, and captured 20 of Chang'an's strongest soldiers, the behavior is very bad!"
"Really?!" Yizong was very angry on the surface, but he was extremely excited in his heart, and even a little happy, but he couldn't show it, "How can it be reasonable, the thief is so bold and dares to come to Chang'an City to make trouble, but have you caught him?" In fact, he wanted to know, was Lu Xiang saved?
Xiao Ye shook his head, "They walked too fast, and by the time our people arrived, they had already fled without a trace." So the Emperor—"
"Hmm, what?" Yizong was relieved when he heard that he hadn't been caught, and replied with a slight smile on his face.
"I've been wondering, why did Barcelona know that Lu Xiang was going to be beheaded, and why did Barcelona risk his life to come to Lu Xiang's rescue?" Xiao Ye asked in a cold and tough tone.
"Prime Minister, what do you mean?" Yizong's face suddenly twitched.
Xiao Ye stood in the center of the court, straightened his clothes, and said slowly but aggressively: "The mystery of this must be that Lu Xiang and the thief secretly colluded to murder the emperor. Therefore, Lu Xiang has already committed treason, and I will play and ask the emperor to destroy the nine clans in the Zhongwei Mansion. ”
"This ......" Yi Zong knew that this was a crime imposed on Lu Xiang by Xiao Ye, but he didn't know how to refute it. "No, well. After hesitating for a long time, he only swallowed out 3 words.
Xiao Ye saw Yizong hesitate, and immediately glanced at the civil and military officials. So the civil and military officials said in unison: "Please ask the emperor to destroy the nine clans in the Zhongwei Mansion." ”
Yizong couldn't help but feel shocked when he saw this. I was very helpless in my heart, and thought: "I think I am also the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, which is ridiculous." Is the court still mine? Is the palace still mine? Is the world still mine? I, the emperor, is it useless!"
Yizong had no choice but to sigh, close his eyes and say, "Then, according to what the prime minister said, the nine clans of the Lu family will be punished." After speaking, he raised his head, "I hope Lu Xiang can live, I'm sorry for you!"
Inside the Princess's Mansion. Princess Jiangning danced sullenly, pouting her little mouth, draped her hair, sometimes sitting on the bed and looking at the patterns on the bed curtain, sometimes wandering in the garden and ravaging the small flowers...... As she prepares to go to bed (morning), Fluttershy runs in with a roar.
When Fluttershy sees that Dance is already in bed, she asks, "Princess, are you just getting up or are you going to sleep?"
Qi Wu said confusedly, "Sleep." See handsome guys in your dreams. Hee-hee. ”
Fluttershy sighed, the princess had been like this since Lu Xiang went to prison and begged Yizong to no avail, not sleeping at night and sleeping during the day. But Fluttershy came to tell Lu Xiang the news.
"Princess, General Lu, he is saved. Fluttershy leans closer and dances, whispering.
"What did you say?!" Qiwu suddenly became excited when he heard Lu Xiang's name.
"I say, General Lu has—saved—" Fluttershy deliberately lengthens the words "saved."
"Really, Fluttershy, you're telling the truth? So where is he?" Dancing is so excited that he almost jumps.
"Uh. It was Grandpa Chi who told me......" Fluttershy patiently tells Ki Dance everything. After listening to the dance, the mood was very complicated. The handsome man was saved, but he took refuge in the enemy, and naturally became our enemy. So how will we meet in the future, I still want to ...... Thinking of this, Qi Wu couldn't help but feel sad.
"Gonggong Chi also said that under the leadership of the prime minister, the emperor had no choice but to order the nine clans of the Lu family. Fluttershy continues.
"What......? How could my father agree? I knew that Xiao Ye, this bastard, was making things up. Qi Wu suddenly walked out of bed, getting more and more excited.
"Princess, don't get excited. The emperor may have his own troubles!"
Yes, the traitorous ministers of the former emperor's cronies slandered the people of the world and made the palace miserable. And even if Yizong has a great retribution and a benevolent heart, the power of the DPRK and China has long been no longer exclusive to the Li family. The emperor is more than a puppet.
A few days later, Chang'an was full of bloody rain, and Zhongwei Mansion was razed to the ground. Countless people have been killed......
The other side. Inside the gravel forest.
Barcelona led Mu Ying and 20 other people into the city under construction. Qiao Yun, Jian Wu and the others saw that Barcelona was back, and immediately threw down the work in their hands, regardless of whether the shovel in their hands hit anyone's head, and whether the bricks they threw hit their toes, they quickly walked in front of Barcelona and glanced at the 20 people, their faces changed from expectation to more expectation to non-expectation. Jian Wuxin said straightforwardly, "Hey, Barcelona, where is General Lu?
Qiao Yun was also very anxious, "Yes, King Ba, didn't you say that you must save General Lu?
Before Barcelona opened his mouth, Mu Ying next to him didn't know what to do to earn performance, and hurriedly said: "Don't talk nonsense." King Ba saved Lu Xiang alone regardless of his own safety, but that guy took the king's kindness as a cow's liver and lungs, and went south by himself. ”
Barcelona immediately glared at Mu Ying, "Don't be presumptuous, Brother Lu is a young man who calls me a brother and sister, how can it be the 'guy' you say in your mouth." ”
Mu Ying hurriedly apologized, he didn't feel aggrieved, but felt that although Barcelona sometimes kills people without blinking, if anyone is taken by him, he is very righteous. Mu Ying felt that he should look at Barcelona with a different eye.
Qiao Yun listened and was very happy that Lu Xiang was rescued and left safely. Just as he was about to say something, Barcelona spoke: "A few of you are Lu Di's people, and now Lu Di is not with me, and I will not force you to stay, go wherever you want." ”
Qiao Yun, Ping Zhexing and others discussed it, and Qiao Yun replied: "Swear to follow the king to the death!"
They thought that since Barcelona rescued Lu Xiang, it proved that he and Lu Xiang were real brothers, and it didn't seem to be lying. And we also need a place to land, which is very good, maybe we can do a great job in the future. After all, heroes are born in troubled times.
Perhaps, no one thought about where he would be the next day, with whom, what he would do, whether he would die. All this, is simply defined by life.
Soon it seemed like a long time, two years passed.
