Chapter 9: Harvest for Your Own Use (I)
At night, in the woods east of the Uyghur military camp, Yu Guanguan bypassed the soldiers who patrolled at night, and quietly appeared next to a big tree in the north and in the direction of the Bagua Tulei earthquake. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
"Subordinates, see Lord Xiaoxuan. Champion Yu recognized the figure and bowed in a low voice.
"It's been a long time. After a pause, he added, "There is no such face-to-face meeting. ”
"Yes. Although he was not by the side of Lord Xiao Xuan and Lord Xuan, his subordinates did not dare to forget the code set with Lord Xiao Xuan. ”
"You've been under a lot of pressure these days, and you've been wronged. ”
"Lord Xiao Xuan, don't say that. Third Brother Xue and his brothers were hurt by such madness, and their subordinates still felt guilty in their hearts. ”
"It's none of your business. If it weren't for you hiding in the country, Xuanli's brothers would have suffered even heavier casualties. ”
"My subordinates don't understand, why does Lord Xiao Xuan have a heart for talent?"
"His skills should not be underestimated, and it is better to become his own person than to fight as a fierce rival. It's just that judging from the contact in the past few days, he is by no means a person who can be easily subdued. ”
"Originally, with the loyalty of the bow and arrow family to the emperor, coupled with the crazy temper and character, there is really no possibility. But right now, there is a rare opportunity, which may help Lord Xiao Xuan get his wish. ”
"Tell me about it. ”
So Champion Yu roughly told the troubles encountered by the bow and arrow family at the moment.
"That's why he is bent on taking the city today...... "After thinking for a moment, he added, "For Gongye Bu to fight for his own life, it seems that he has a very deep affection for his master." ”
"How crazy he grew up in Gongye's family since he was a child, and Gongye cloth is also a master and a father for him. And now, he and Gongye Huanhuan, the daughter of Gongye Bu, are in love, and they are kissing again. ”
"I've heard of Gongye Bu, he is not the kind of person who colludes with foreign enemies to commit treason, no matter how crazy he adheres to his will, naturally he will not do such a thing. You think I can get my wish, I should have another story, right?"
"Exactly. Yu Guanguan nodded and said, "Even we, as enemies, know what Gongye Bu is like, how can Emperor Xian not understand it." Emperor Xian had already given up the idea of giving up the bow and arrow camp before, but he put it on hold because of how crazy he was. And this time, no matter who framed the bow and arrow family and released the rumors, it doesn't matter, as long as Emperor Xian has the heart to attack the Gongye family, Gongye Bu will have no place to turn over. ”
"He was loyal and patriotic all his life, and made a lot of contributions to the country, but the biggest mistake was to see the emperor aging year by year, and he was eager to support the fifth prince Xun Qi as the prince. No emperor can resist his authority by assisting his courtiers. ”
"Compared with the five princes, the emperor still values the three princes. Today is also because the three princes knelt down and begged the emperor for a day, and the emperor was moved, so he didn't make up his mind until the evening. The secret was sent to the military camp half an hour ago, and he ordered his subordinates to take He Qimad, and personally escorted him back to Weidu to wait for his fate. Since Lord Xiao Xuan is having the heart to subdue what a madness, do you want to show him favors and let him go?"
After thinking about it for a while, he said to Yu Guanguan:
"When you present a report to Emperor Xian tomorrow, you pretend that the military situation on the battlefield is tense and you can't leave for a while, so ask Emperor Xian for instructions to postpone it for two days and then return to Weidu. Then tell the emperor what the will and your actions are. I think he is more worried about Gongyebu than he is loyal to Emperor Xian, and he will definitely put Gongyebu's safety first and secretly rescue him. You accompanied He Qimad, and helped him under the banner of the third prince Ge Sheng. However, although the emperor made his heart chill, after all, it was only an internal contradiction of the country, and he would not surrender to me, a 'foreign enemy'. For the sake of today, I have to hope that the bow and arrow family can return to the Helian family, and that is the best result. ”
"The subordinates understood what Lord Xiao Xuan meant. As long as the two banners of the Three Princes and the Helian Family are skillfully changed, the favor of the Three Princes originally received by the Bow and Arrow Family will be transformed into the favor of the Helian Family. ”
"Not bad. When it came to Helian Jialu, he immediately remembered Helian Jialu, "Lord Helian should still be in Weidu at the moment." ”
"As soon as the matter of the bow and arrow family came out, all the gates of the Weidu City were blocked, and the emperor had a plan for the Helian family, it was easy for the county lord of Helian to leave. ”
"You go back to Weidu this time, and by the way, find a way to meet the county lord and take her out of the city safely. I'm afraid that there will be a lot of risks all the way back to Helian's house, so it's better to bring her to me for a while. ”
"How can subordinates win the trust of the county lord?"
"You take this, and she'll see it. He said, untied the jade pendant he carried around his waist, and handed it to Yu Guanguan, "This is a gift from King Mingjun many years ago, and she recognized it." ”
"Hmm. ”
"It's not too late, you can go back quickly. Be careful with yourself. ”
"Yes, Lord Xiaoxuan can rest assured, his subordinates will retire. ”
The two then returned to their respective camps, and their figures quickly disappeared in place. The soldiers in charge of the patrol passed by, but saw that everything was as usual, as if no one had ever been there.
~~~
At noon on April 19, south of the city of Victoria -
After Helian Jialu and Konglin had lunch in the restaurant, they were walking on the way back to the palace when they saw an old man in ragged clothes begging along the street. Seeing this, Helian Jialu was moved by compassion, so he walked towards the old man.
After all, Kong Lin is well-informed and cautious, and he feels very strange that there are beggars in the capital of the dignified country, and he is about to make a word to remind Helian Jialu, when suddenly several feather arrows on both sides of the street break through the air, and Kong Lin has to deal with it in a hurry, and Helian Jialu is forced to distance himself from Helian Jialu.
Helian Jialu, who was walking in front, heard the sound behind him, and subconsciously turned around, at this time, the old man who had been slow suddenly moved flexibly, and quickly stretched out his hand behind Helian Jialu, in a vain attempt to sneak attack.
In the tea house on the street, how crazy he was who had just sneaked back to Weidu and sat down to think about how to rescue Gongye Bu, Gongye Huanhuan and Yu Guanguan happened to take this scene into their eyes.
"It's Sister Helian. Oh no!" Gongye Huan exclaimed. And as soon as her words came out, Yu Guanguan, who learned that the person who was attacked was Helian Jialu, and He Qiqi, who had always valued Gongye Huanhuan's will, had left their seats at the same time.
Yu Guanguan instantly moved his footsteps behind Helian Jialu and took the old man's blow for her, and how crazy he rushed behind the old man, and joined forces with Yu Guanguan to attack him in two phases.
The old man parried the attack of the two on the one hand, and looked at the two of them at the same time, he didn't seem to know Yu Guanguan, who had been away for many years, but he obviously recognized how crazy he was in Weidu, and he was suddenly surprised:
"You are the master of the archery battalion, why are you here at this moment?"
He was shocked when he heard this, and he carefully observed the old man's appearance, so he frowned and said:
"You are the man of the Great Prince. ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone present had different expressions for a moment, and the most anxious of them was the old man who revealed his identity. The next moment, the old man's attack became more and more aggressive, as if he wanted to kill a few people. However, with the same thoughts as him, how crazy he was, of course he would not allow his whereabouts to be revealed. Due to the change of motivation, all of a sudden, how crazy he was to attack became ruthless, and within ten moves, the old man was killed.
Helian Jialu witnessed this scene with his own eyes, and even though he seemed to be a friend and foe, he couldn't help but let out a low cry, and his heart was a little panicked.
At the same time, Kong Lin had simply disposed of the old man's accomplices and returned to Helian Jialu's side.
He Qiqi knew that his identity had been exposed, and in the face of the contradiction between Helian Jialu and Konglin, a little jealousy and distrust were mixed with an undercurrent of darkness, which was reflected in the silence on the surface. Fortunately, Gongye Huanhuan's intervention eased the current situation.
"This is not the place to talk, let's talk about it in another place. Gongye Huanhuan looked around at the four people and said.
Helian Jialu nodded, and followed Gongye Huanhuan to leave the place first.
After a tea break, the group arrived at a dilapidated house a few streets away.
"No one should come here on weekdays, so we can rest here for a while. Gongye Huan Huan looked at Helian Jialu and said.
"Thank you Sister Gongye for saving me. Helian Jialu said sincerely, "With my sister's kindness, I should be tight-lipped about today's events." ”
"I know that Sister Helian is a trustworthy person. Gongye Huanhuan said, and suddenly leaned over and knelt down in front of Helian Jialu, "I don't know if my sister can do me another favor, I am willing to do everything to repay me." ”
"Sister Gongye, hurry up, if you have anything to say, please speak up. Helian Jialu hurriedly helped Gongye Huanhuan up.
"Senior sister. Seeing this, he spoke out to stop him.
"The emperor is hesitant about the bow and arrow family and the Helian family, especially since this year, the bow and arrow family has been blamed at every turn, and it is inevitable that the Helian family will not follow in our footsteps. The lips are dead and the teeth are cold, I believe in Sister Helian, it's okay. "Gongye Huanhuan's persuasion is so wild.
He stared at Gongye Huanhuan wildly, acquiesced in her words, and said no more. Gongye Huanhuan then looked at Helian Jialu and Konglin, and said:
"My sister should already know about the Gongye family. ”
"Hmm. Helian Jialu nodded and said, "I believe that someone must have taken advantage of this matter." ”
However, no matter what the truth is, the emperor has already decided to convict, if it weren't for General Yu's intention to uphold the will of the three princes and disobey the holy decree to help, the senior brother has also been imprisoned by the emperor at this moment, I am afraid that no one in the entire Gongye family will be spared. ”
"It turns out that this is General Bi Yao. Helian Jialu turned his gaze to Yu Guanguan and said.
"The county lord is the last general. Champion Yu and Helian Jialu glanced at each other and bowed.
"I don't want the emperor to be so resolute about the Gongye family. So what is my sister's plan to do this time?"
"Fortunately, the investigation into the city is not as strict as the exit from the city, this time we are disguised as a post guard who delivers the report and blends into the city. My brother and I planned to rescue my dad first, and then think about it in the long run. The family of bows and arrows has always been loyal to the country and the emperor, but it will not be foolish loyalty, I can't watch my father die in vain. Gongye Huanhuan paused, and then said, "When my sister first came to Weidu, there was friction with the eldest prince and his party, I have heard about it with my senior brother, and I heard that there is a master next to my sister, and it has been confirmed that it is worthy of this name when I see it today." Now that Gongye's house is heavily guarded, with the strength of the three of us, I am afraid that it will be difficult to even enter the gate. So I'd like to ask my sister and this Brother Jerod to help us. ”
"I'm doing my sister a favor. Helian Jialu said with a light smile, turned his head and exchanged a look with Kong Lin, and saw that Kong Lin also had this intention, so he was even more unscrupulous, "Brother Lin and General Yu are outside to lead away the guards, and my sister and Lord He are waiting for the opportunity to rescue Uncle Gongye." ”
"Thank you, Lord Shiren. He Qiqi saw Helian Jialu's frankness and sincerity, and couldn't help but trust it, and said sincerely.
"Without further ado, let's go. Seeing the alliance between the two families, Yu Guanguan was most happy in his heart, and the task assigned by him seemed to be not difficult to achieve.
~~~
At that time, around the courtyard of Gongye's house, dozens of guards were closely guarding to prevent people from entering and leaving the courtyard. Among them, there were twenty or thirty guards in front of the main gate. Kong Lin and He Qifang exchanged a look, and then rushed to the front gate with Helian Jialu and Yu Guanguan, making a posture of wanting to break through.
The guards in front of the door saw the three of them dressed in masks, so they naturally stopped each other with all their might, but how could ordinary guards be the opponents of Kong Lin and Yu Guanguan, and they couldn't resist it for a while. The nearby guards heard the wind and came to reinforce them, and the guard outside the side wall was relaxed for a while, so he and Gongye Huanhuan took advantage of the situation to jump over the wall and enter the courtyard.
The two went straight to Gongyebu's study, all the way without hindrance, but when they pushed the door open, the scene in the room startled the two - they saw Gongyebu lying on the ground in the center of the room, with a painful expression on his face.
"Dad, what's wrong with you?" Gongye Huanhuan hurriedly squatted down beside Gongye Bu, and pulled down the veil at the same time as He Qiqi.
He Qiqi helped him up from behind Gongyebu, leaned his body in front of him, and said with anxiety on his face:
"Master, what did they do to you?"
Gongye Bu heard Gongye Huan Huan and He Qi's crazy voice, and tried to open his eyes, his eyes first showed a look of disbelief, and then a flash of relief, and said in a very soft voice:
"Silly boy, what are you sneaking back into. But before I die, it's great to see you again. After all, God treats me well......"
"Dad, what do you say? How could you die? Gongye Huanhuan's voice said with a crying tone, and tears instantly slid down her cheeks.
"Dad has never done anything sorry for the court in his life, but he still ended up like this, unwilling, Dad is very unwilling...... Only death can prove the innocence of the Gongye family. ”
He Qiqi quickly looked around, and found an overturned teapot and a broken teacup, so his voice trembled a little:
"You have taken poison (separator) medicine? ”
"No need...... Gong Yebu raised his hand to stop him for a moment, endured the pain of the poison (separator) drug, and said slowly, "The poison has entered the heart, and the gods are difficult to save." Master only asks you for one thing. ”
"Master, don't dare to disobey what you say, where do you use the word 'ask'. There were tears welling up in his crazy eyes.
Gongye Bu groped and shook Gongye Huanhuan's hand, overlapped with He Qi's palm, and said with a smile on the corner of his mouth:
"Master knows that you and Huan Huan have no guesses, and they have already made a promise to each other...... I'll entrust you with this precious girl...... You have to love her and take good care of her. ”
"Yes, Master. He Qi nodded wildly, and tears fell on his and Gongye Huanhuan's hands.
"Daddy...... You can't leave your daughter behind......" Gongye Huanhuan couldn't cry even more.
"In the days to come, it will be up to you to support each other...... Although the emperor believes the rumors, I can't be unjust to the emperor and the five princes, and I can't be sorry for the people of the country...... I do not force you to repeat the path I have taken, as long as you are worthy of your own heart and do not harm innocent people, you can ...... Find another ...... the Lord"
"Dad, I want you to be with me and my senior brother...... Daddy......"
"I wish to have a final meeting...... That's enough......" As Gongyebu's voice weakened, his eyes slowly closed.
"Master......"
"Daddy!"
While the parting of life and death is staged in the courtyard, it is also a life-and-death struggle outside the courtyard.
After a moment of time, Kong Lin and Yu Champion are fine, and Helian Jialu's physical strength has gradually exhausted, although Kong Lin intends to guard Helian Jialu, and Yu Champion also tries his best to protect her safety, but the time drags on too long, it will only attract more city guards, and then I want to retreat with my whole body, I am afraid that it will be more difficult.
Haven't they come out yet? Yu Guanguan took the time to look at the courtyard gate, but there was no one in sight. And when I looked in the opposite direction, there was a group of people rushing towards this place.
"What's going on?" asked the first of the men.
"Qi Yu Zuoqiu little prince, there are suspicious people approaching the courtyard of Gongye's house, I am afraid that they are plotting against the same party, and the last general is ordering someone to arrest them. The man who looked like a general in the guard replied respectfully.
Zuoqiu Yu, the little prince of Zuoqiu, was passing by nearby, and he followed the sound when he heard the sound of fighting, but since he came, he couldn't stand by and watch after all, he muttered for a while, and ordered the guards behind him:
"You guys come up and help take down those three. ”
"Yes. ”
Zuo Qiu Yu's guard soldiers were much more capable than ordinary soldiers, and with their joining, Kong Lin and Yu Champion couldn't help but feel pressure. In addition, through a short period of observation, Zuo Qiu Yu has found that Helian Jialu is the weak link among the three, in order to seek a quick victory, he immediately flew off the horse, and the long sword in his hand directly took Helian Jialu.
Without Kong Lin and Yu Guanguan to resist, Helian Jialu, who was already tired, was almost powerless to fight back except for dodging with his good light skills. On the one hand, the strong attack caught Helian Jialu off guard, and on the other hand, the changing moves gradually disrupted the rhythm of Helian Jialu's feet.
Suddenly, Helian Jialu stumbled under her feet, and the tip of Zuo Qiu Yu's sword slashed across her left arm, and in an instant, blood oozed out of the hole in her clothes, and at the same time, in front of Zuo Qiu Yu's eyes, there was also the snow-like skin around Helian Jialu's wound.
It's a woman. Zuo Qiu Yu was startled and stopped the offensive in his hand.
The next moment, Zuo Qiuyu suddenly remembered Gongye Huanhuan, who had disappeared since Gongye's house was surrounded, so he lowered his voice and said tentatively:
"Is it Huan Huan?"
Helian Jialu quickly calculated the relationship between Zuo Qiu Yu and Gongye Huan Huan in his heart, because Zuo Qiu Yu had studied under Gongye Bu in archery skills, so he and Gongye Huan Huan could be called a bit of brother and sister. Thinking of this, Helian Jialu nodded slightly.
Seeing this, Zuo Qiu Yu really restrained his hostility, but because of the onlookers of many soldiers, it was inconvenient to let the three of them leave openly, so he signaled "Gongye Huanhuan" to attack him, and at the same time searched for other ways in his mind.
After Helian Jialu forced himself to make three more moves, Zuo Qiu Yu finally came up with a way, and under the cover of a fake move, he threw two smoke bombs into Helian Jialu's sleeves, and said:
"This was originally developed by Mr. Gongye, and now it can be regarded as a good use. ”
Helian Jialu quickly understood what Zuo Qiu Yu meant, took the long sword held in his right hand with his left hand, and then let the smoke bomb slide into the palm of his right hand and threw it the ground in front of him. Subsequently, taking advantage of the concealment of the smoke, Kong Lin and Yu Guanguan, who had been distracted from Helian Jialu's every move, also took the opportunity to retreat to Helian Jialu's side, escorted her from the encirclement, and returned to the pre-agreed place - the palace where Helian Jialu lived on this trip.
