Chapter 193: The Crane in the Clouds Returns to Beijing! The Emperor is Overjoyed!
The crane in the cloud really almost shouted.
Because the woman in front of her is really almost exactly the same as Jing Zhongyue.
Almost, of course, not really the same.
First of all, the figures of the two people are indeed very similar, they both look very thin and slender like willows, but the key parts of the upper and lower parts are amazingly convex, but they are not suitable for birth, because the pelvis is not wide enough.
And the faces of the two people are very, very similar, but ...... The temperament is completely different.
The well is lonely, slightly neurotic.
And the woman in front of her is arrogant, or the kind of lonely high who despises her life and is full of superiority.
These two temperaments look very similar, and they are both peerless and independent.
But in fact, it is completely different, the woman in front of her is too arrogant, so she seems lonely.
And Jing Zhongyue experienced too miserable when she was a child, and her heart was too dark, so she seemed lonely, which was a kind of loneliness.
The woman in front of her was really empty-eyed, with a sense of déjà vu that everyone present was garbage.
And you're an assassin, don't you need to wear a veil?
At that time, the assassin who assassinated the four princes of the Great Win Empire was not as arrogant as you, and they were still very mysterious.
And you just show a peerless face, as if you don't care about being recognized.
Of course, the woman in front of her really didn't care about being recognized, because she would kill everyone.
"Protect the target and retreat, we will break off!" With the order of the leader of the Black Ice Terrace Warriors, more than a dozen Black Ice Terrace Warriors escorted the Crane in the Cloud to retreat quickly, and the remaining dozens of Black Ice Terrace Warriors rushed towards the woman one after another one after another.
They already knew that it was absolutely impossible to beat this woman, so they could only try to hold her back and let Yun Zhonghe escape.
Still, they thought too much.
The woman did not slow down, and the sword in her hand stabbed out lightly.
"Boom, boom, boom......"
In just a few seconds, all of these dozens of Black Ice Warriors were killed.
Kill cleanly, and without even a trace of fireworks, killing people is as easy as picking flowers.
And this woman is still wearing a snow-white long dress, spotless, and there is no blood stained even on the sword.
At this time, more than a dozen Black Ice Platform warriors escorted the crane in the cloud to escape more than ten meters.
The woman's jade feet were lightly tapped, and almost instantaneously flashed, and in a blink of an eye, she was in front of the crane in the clouds. It's really a bit inconsistent with gravity, and with a slight touch, the whole delicate body floats over like a paper kite.
Now the crane in the clouds can see it more clearly.
The woman in front of her must be the sister of Jing Zhongyue, or she is the real Jing Zhongyue.
She has been a genius since she was a child, a top genius, she went to Baiyun City to practice martial arts when she was a teenager, and then she was replaced by Jing Zhongyue, and then her whereabouts became a mystery.
I didn't expect it to appear here, and the martial arts were so high that it was unbelievable. Originally, Yun Zhonghe still thought that this real Jing Zhongyue might be quite miserable, and he still needed to save it.
I didn't expect that people are so awesome, what has happened to her over the years?
The dozen or so Black Ice Terrace warriors who protected the crane in the clouds finally collapsed a little at this time, because this woman was too strong.
"May I ask who the girl is, who actually stopped and killed our Black Ice Terrace......"
Before he could finish his words, his head fell to the ground silently.
Then, more than a dozen people around him were also killed in an instant.
At this point, they don't even have the courage to resist.
The more than 100 Black Ice Terrace warriors who escorted the crane in the clouds were all killed, leaving the crane in the clouds alone.
At this time, this stunning woman raised her head slightly and looked at him.
"You're the one I'm going to kill?" the woman asked.
Damn, you don't even know who you're going to kill? You're going to kill it? It's so arrogant, it's too much to see no one.
"You don't know martial arts? That's better than closing your eyes, I'm fast. The stunning woman said.
The crane in the cloud closed its eyes.
Although he wanted to shout the name of Jing Zhongyue, and wanted to say that I was your brother-in-law, etc., he still didn't say anything.
And the No. 9 psychiatric patient Quantum is also constantly chanting: Don't speak, don't speak, close your eyes.
For this assassination, Nine Quantum had some predictions, but it still let the crane in the clouds take this path.
Seeing that the crane in the cloud closed her eyes and was powerless, this stunning woman had no mercy, and directly stabbed out with a sword, which was about to end his life.
If there is love in the sky, the sky is also old, if a powerful person like her, if she has to maintain compassion for anyone casually, then her heart is already full of holes, and the most important thing in this world is tragic stories.
But as soon as the tip of the sword touched the crane's neck, she stopped.
Not because she regretted it, or because she found something in the crane in the clouds.
But there was a person behind her, the same top master.
In the next second, Yun Zhonghe only felt a very bizarre fragrance in the air, and then he fainted directly.
"Who?"
"An old man. ”
"Do what?"
"Please spare his life. ”
The woman sighed, "Sir, do you have to save him?"
"Yes!"
"Do you even offend me for this?"
"Yes!"
The woman said, "Okay, he's yours." ”
"Thank you for your kindness, Princess Wushuang." ”
The woman said, "I'm not a princess. ”
Come to the human: "You are not a princess, who is a princess, I owe you a favor." ”
The stunning woman said, "Farewell!"
Then she gently touched her jade feet, and disappeared without a trace in an instant.
The person who saved the crane in the cloud slowly came to him, and then picked up the body of the crane in the cloud, and disappeared without a trace in an instant with a flick of his foot.
If the crane in the cloud saw this person, it would definitely be extremely shocked.
Because this person is his biggest enemy in the southern realm, the Great Sage Master Yuan Tianxi, the unpredictable Yuan Tianxi. Not only did he not die, but he had been secretly following the crane in the clouds.
Whoever can save the person she wants to kill from Princess Wushuang is, of course, someone whose martial arts are no less than hers.
And how high Yuan Tianxie's martial arts are, there is no need to say at all.
He actually appeared to save the crane in the clouds, what did he want to do?
......................................................
The ninth day of the first lunar month!
His Majesty's deadline had arrived, but the crane in the clouds still hadn't appeared.
In the morning.
Ao Xin, Liu's, Ao Ningning and other hundreds of people were escorted out of Dali Temple Prison and came outside the end gate.
During this period of time, Ao Xin was first removed from his position as a hussar general, and then stripped of his title and transferred from Zongzheng Temple to Dali Temple.
Then there were several general trials, and they were all interrogated by the three divisions at the highest level, interrogating him about the rebellion in the south.
Of course, Ao Xin did not admit his guilt and refuted it again and again.
However, this did not prevent the results of the trial of the three divisions, Ao Cha and Ao Qi rebelled, the local garrison rebelled, Ao Xin could not escape the blame, and was sentenced to beheading, and at noon on the ninth day of the first month, the official execution.
At that time, when he was about to behead Yan Qiqi, the eldest prince kowtowed and bleed, but after all, he could not save Yan Qiqi.
Now that you want to cut off your heart, will anyone stand up for him and intercede for him?
There are still some, a total of three officials, one civil official, and two military generals, kneeling outside the palace gate and pleading for Ao Xin.
In addition to this, there was a completely unexpected person, kneeling outside the palace gate.
Because he has no official status, he is just a fame, so he can't be too far from the palace.
This person is Ao Ming!
He was once Ao Xin's heir, although after Ao Yu seized the Canglang Province of Xie Yuan, he publicly announced that he would renounce any inheritance rights to the Marquis of Nulang's mansion.
But now, he still knelt outside the palace gate to intercede for Ao Xin.
And he had been kneeling for three days and three nights, describing it as withered.
Not only that, but he also wrote an article to defend Ao Xin.
"Your Majesty, I am the heir of Ao Xin, and I am willing to die for my father on my behalf!"
"Your Majesty, I am willing to die for my father in my own place!"
His behavior immediately caused a huge repercussion in Shilin, and even the people of the entire capital knew that there was such a dutiful son as Ao Ming.
In order to favor his son, Ao Xin deprived Ao Ming of his inheritance, but at the critical moment, Ao Ming was still willing to replace him, how touching?
But no one knew that Miss Duan Yingying of the Wei Mansion was on the execution ground at this time.
She hated Ao Yu to the bone, at this time Ao Xin was about to be killed, of course she wouldn't miss it, she must come over to see with her own eyes how Ao Xin's family died tragically.
This time, the prison officer is the Shangshu of the Criminal Department.
As soon as the hour comes, immediately start the knife and behead.
This criminal department Shangshu was also very helpless in his heart, he was not a person of Lin Xiang, but he did not have any friendship with Ao Xin, and even had a dirty one, because he was also slapped in the face by Ao Xin at that time.
Ao Xin was selfless at that time, and he didn't know how many people he had beaten in the face.
But even so, this criminal department Shangshu was full of unbearability at this time.
This is Ao Xin!
Pillars of the country, how much credit has been made?
Say kill or kill?
But what can be done? Last year's defeat in the big war with the big winning empire made Ao Xin have to bear the black cauldron.
And this rebellion in the south, Ao Xin can't get out of it.
The rebel is your righteous son, and it is the army you have formed, and no one can protect you.
Besides, how many people have you offended in the court? Who can speak for you at the critical moment?
Heavyweight ministers, not a single one.
The cost of speaking up is too high, and speaking for Ao Xin means offending Lin Xiang, the second prince, and Fu Yantu.
It was less than an hour before noon.
At that time, if the emperor has no will, the emperor will not make a will.
Then Ao Xin's whole family is dead.
................................................
Inside the Royal Palace.
Princess Xiangxiang's eyes were red, and she trembled: "Grandmother, shouldn't it be like this, right? Ao Xin is obviously a loyal minister, and he owes it to my Great Zhou Empire, why do you want to kill him?"
The Queen Mother's eyes were red and she said: "Xiangxiang, who let him offend too many people, who let the army he formed by himself rebel." ”
Princess Xiangxiang said: "Ao Xin has offended many people, but he is a lonely minister of our Great Zhou royal family, shouldn't we protect him?
The Queen Mother said: "Xiangxiang, women are not allowed to interfere in politics, women are not allowed to interfere in politics." ”
Princess Xiangxiang said: "Grandmother, you are the queen mother, how can you bear to see the pillars of the country being killed like this? Yan was killed that day, and now Ao Xin is going to be killed again? ”
The Queen Mother looked at the teary-eyed Princess Xiangxiang and said, "Okay, okay, I'll go, I'll go......"
................................................
In the emperor's study, he was still playing chess with the Wuxin monk.
Hearing that the Queen Mother was coming, she immediately went to greet her.
"Queen Mother, what do you have to do, just summon your sons to go, why do you bother to come in person?" the emperor sighed.
The Empress Dowager said to the Wuxin monk: "Great monk, hello. ”
The heartless monk clasped his hands together and said, "The Queen Mother is good." ”
Then, he directly retired, and did not say anything about the grass people's resignation.
The emperor said, "Queen Mother, what do you command?"
The Queen Mother said: "Emperor, the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, this is very clear to the mourning family. But Ao Xin was kind to my father, and he had the grace to save his life. ”
The emperor said: "I remember, Ao Xin was still very young at that time, Xiao Guozhang was surrounded by Daliang Iron Cavalry outside Yongzhou City, and he was in danger, and Ao Xin led his troops to rescue him. ”
The Queen Mother said: "I have to repay the grace of saving my life, and I ask the emperor to fulfill it." ”
The emperor hurriedly knelt down and said, "Queen Mother, you have tormented your sons. But you also know that this rebellion in the south is like a raging fire, and there are hundreds of thousands of rebels, and there may be more and more. And this rebel army is the Turen garrison established by Ao Xin back then, and the leader of the rebel army is his righteous son Fucha, and he has already become king. ”
The Queen Mother said: "We all know in our hearts that Fu Cha rebelled, and the local people rebelled, and some people oppressed too much, and it had nothing to do with Ao Xin." ”
The emperor said: "Queen Mother, you have no jokes." I have given Ao Yu a chance to go to the south to quell the rebellion, and today is the deadline, but there is still no good news from the south, and he still hasn't returned. If Ao Xin is pardoned, it will be a broken promise!"
The Empress Dowager said: "Ao Yu is just a scholar, how can he put down the rebellion?
................................................
Inside the Royal Palace.
In Fu Guifei's room, she was looking at the hourglass anxiously.
Time passed too slowly, why hadn't it been noon?
It hurt her that she didn't even have the heart to eat, so she waited for Ao Xin's whole family to be killed.
Fu Guifei is Fu Yantu's younger sister, not to mention the hatred between Fu Yantu and Ao Xin, just her Fu Guifei hates Ao Xin to the core.
Two years ago, the eldest prince Zhou Li was prominent and had the momentum to become the crown prince.
In order to help her son ascend to the throne, Fu Guifei once went to woo Ao Xin, and the reply from the other party was that the concubine was self-respecting.
Suddenly, Fu Guifei was about to explode, he had never suffered such a shame.
Since then, she has also hated Ao to the core.
The eunuch next to him said: "Don't be impatient, this Ao Xin is dead, and his whole family is dead." Didn't Your Majesty send Ao Yu to the south to quell the rebellion? He is a crazy waste who can only write books, and he has no power to tie the chicken, how can he put down the rebellion of hundreds of thousands of people, and he has already been broken into thousands of pieces, if he can successfully quell the rebellion, the sun will come out from the west. So don't worry, in another two quarters of an hour, Ao Xin's family will die, if you are impatient, the slave will sing you a song?
..........................................
Inside the Emperor's study.
The Queen Mother said: "Emperor, you don't give me a chance to repay my kindness, do you?"
The emperor said, "O queen mother, there are still nearly two quarters of an hour before noon, in case ...... What if something miracle happens?"
The Empress Dowager said: "Miracle? Ao Yu, a scholar who writes books, went to quell the rebellion of hundreds of thousands of people?
The emperor sighed and said: "Yes, hundreds of thousands of great rebellions, put down by one person? How is it possible? Is there really such a miracle in the world? If there really is, then God bless me for the Great Zhou, how many casualties can be reduced? How much national money can be saved?"
And yet at this very moment!
A person rushed in, it was the Black Ice Terrace Metropolitan Governor Nangong Mistake.
"Your Majesty is overjoyed, Your Majesty is overjoyed. ”
"The rebellion in the south was quelled, all the more than 100,000 rebels died, the general Li Wenhua was beheaded, and the rebel leader Fu Cha also died. ”
"This is Duke Zhou Long's recital, this is the head of the rebel general Li Wenhua!"
Nangong raised the box with both hands and opened it, wasn't the head of the former Zhongyong Bo Li Culture lying inside?
The Emperor looked at all this in disbelief, and then burst out laughing.
"Hahaha!
The Queen Mother said: "This, how is this possible? Who put down this rebellion?"
Nangong said wrongly: "Most of them are the credit of Ao Yu." ”
The Queen Mother was also ecstatic, completely incredulous, and after a long while, he folded his hands and kept reading: "Ancestors bless, ancestors bless, this Ao Yu is really talented, really talented?"
"He, a scholar, actually put down such a big rebellion without anyone's help, it's amazing, it's amazing. ”
"Emperor, you also said that the rebellion in the south has been quelled like this, how much national money can be saved, how many casualties can be reduced, this Ao Yu has made a great contribution to our Great Zhou, you have to reward people well!"
The emperor laughed and said, "Of course, of course you have to reward it." ”
Then the emperor said: "Pass the decree, pass the decree to the door, keep people under the knife, and stop the beheading!"
Suddenly, a big eunuch immediately rushed towards the end gate, and while running, he shouted: "Keep people under the knife, keep people under the knife!"
The Queen Mother was full of glory and said happily: "I will go and tell the ancestors and ancestors this good news." ”
Actually, she was going to tell Princess Xiangxiang.
The emperor bowed and said, "Congratulations to the queen mother!"
..........................................
Wait until the Queen Mother is gone.
The expression of ecstasy on the emperor's face was slightly restrained.
"It's finally delivered. The emperor said: "This human head was finally sent at the last moment." ”
In fact, the emperor already knew about the suppression of the rebellion in the south a few days ago, but he still staged such a play.
However, it can be regarded as a re-enactment of the ecstasy and shock of the time.
When he received the news a few days ago, he really couldn't believe it.
Because it's really incredible, this is a rebellion of hundreds of thousands of people, and how powerful is Yuan Tianxie?
The flames of rebellion in the south are already burning and can barely be extinguished.
In order to quell this rebellion, the emperor was ready to use an army of 400,000.
In order to quell this rebellion, the emperor and the Great Xia Empire also signed a secret treaty to deal with the secret treaty of the Great Win Empire.
In order to quell this rebellion, the emperor was even in secret talks with Baiyun City, and even with the Great Liang Kingdom.
Because he received a lot of information from the south, he became more aware of the seriousness of this rebellion.
Unexpectedly, it was really calmed down like this, and was quelled by Ao Yu.
It's unbelievable.
Of course, the news that came at the beginning was all information from the Black Ice Observatory, and it was still relatively vague.
Today, the report of the Duke of Zhoulong, the capital of the southern border, and the report of the governor of the Great Southern Province have come.
The most important thing is that the head of the rebel leader Li Wenhua was also sent.
In this way, the emperor can proclaim to the world and display it publicly above the court to show his majesty.
"What a great achievement!" the emperor sighed, "not only did he save the Southern Five Elements Province from the flames of war, but at least he saved tens of millions of taels of silver in military expenses for my Great Zhou, and at least avoided the casualties of more than 100,000 troops." ”
Isn't it?
Once the rebellion in the south is completely spread, the military expenditure will be more than 10 million taels of silver.
Moreover, the loss of the Great Zhou army is not more than 100,000 people, or even more.
Coupled with the devastation of the war, the indirect losses will exceed tens of millions of taels of silver.
Now that the rebellion has been stopped, all this has been saved.
................................................
End Door!
It was only a quarter of an hour before noon.
The people in the capital were affected by public opinion, and they also hated Ao Xin a little, because the rebel was his righteous son, and it was the army established by Ao Xin who rebelled.
But...... Ao Xin's reputation among the people is too high.
The feats he has made in the past few decades are too great, and he is the first person in the military, like an optimus jade pillar.
And Ao Xin's popularity in the DPRK is super poor, but his image in the minds of the people is still good.
The vast majority of the people think that this is a good official, and now that he is going to be beheaded, the vast majority of the people can't bear it.
Only Duan Yingying, as well as many members of the rival faction, only hated that time passed too slowly, and they wished that it would be noon immediately, and they would immediately kill Ao Xin's entire family.
"Quick, quick, quick......" Duan Yingying kept chanting in her heart.
Ao Yu thief, it's really cheap for you, let you die in the south, otherwise you will be beheaded here today, that is the best result, I can't watch you die, it's a pity.
Everything that happened in the south was still top secret, Duan Yingying didn't know yet, she resolutely didn't believe that Ao Yu could quell the rebellion with one person, and she felt that he had already been killed by Yuan Tianxie and Fu Cha.
And at this moment, the chanting of the eunuch came from inside the palace.
"Keep people under the knife, keep people under the knife. ”
"Your Majesty has a will, keep people under the knife!"
After hearing this voice, most people breathed a sigh of relief, even including the Shangshu of the Prison and Punishment Department.
Only Duan Yingying's face changed drastically, and she shouted wildly in her heart: Why? Why don't you kill it! Could it be that Ao Yu's thief really succeeded? Impossible, absolutely impossible!
..........................................
Inside the Royal Palace.
The emperor asked casually, "Nangong, are you under any pressure?" But someone asked you to suppress the news and not report it to me?"
Nangong, the Grand Governor of the Black Ice Terrace, mistakenly said: "That's not true." ”
Then, Nangong said again: "Fu Yantu is very close to the southern border, it is said that he has also received the information, hasn't his report arrived yet?"
The Emperor took out a copy from the bookshelf and said, "I received it, it was sent two hours ago, saying that he had heard that the rebellion in the south had been quelled, but he was not sure, so he dared to play it to me, and prayed that it was true, although then he could not make meritorious contributions, but it was a blessing for the empire and the world." ”
Nangong said wrongly: "From this point of view, General Fu Yantu still knows the general situation. ”
Fu Yantu clearly said before that he had to find a way to suppress this news, at least on the tenth day of the first month.
But now he had sent a telegram informing the emperor that the rebellion in the south had been quelled, and congratulating the emperor.
What's changed?
The emperor said, "Do you think you should let Fu Yantu stop going south?"
Once Fu Yantu stops going south, then he will not be worthy of his name as the governor of the southern conquest, and the military power that has just arrived in his hands will be lost, which is really a great tragedy.
Nangong said wrongly: "The minister thinks that Fu Yantu's army should be allowed to continue to go south." But he warned him that he must not intensify the contradictions again, and of course he must deter the natives in the south, but he must also be appeased, and he must not be killed. He led his army south, mainly to guard against the Shi family of Zhenhai Wangfu. ”
The Emperor nodded helplessly, and then he asked, "Haven't you had Ao Yu's whereabouts yet?"
Nangong said wrongly: "Not yet, I have sent thousands of people to search along the road, but they have not found Ao Yu, only more than a hundred corpses have been found, and Ao Yu is nowhere to be found." ”
The emperor said: "Keep looking, send more people to find it." ”
Nangong said wrongly: "Yes, Your Majesty!"
And at this moment, the voice of the eunuch sounded outside again.
"Your Majesty, Nangong Da asked to see Your Majesty and said that there was an urgent matter to inform. ”
The Emperor said, "Let him in." ”
The righteous son of Nangong Co., the Governor of the Black Ice Terrace, Nangong Da walked into the study, knelt down and kowtowed: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live." ”
"Get up!" said the Emperor.
Nangong Da bowed to Nangong and said, "Father." ”
Nangong Coo frowned and said: "Before Your Majesty, there were only monarchs and ministers, how could there be fathers and sons, what are you messing about?"
The emperor said: "They are filial, why is there anything wrong?"
Then, the emperor looked towards Nangong Dao: "What's the matter?
Nangong Daodao: "Your Majesty, we have found Ao Yu Gongzi." ”
The emperor stood up directly and said loudly: "Where?
Nangong Avenue: "Ao Yu Gongzi is outside the palace!"
Emperor Wanyun said: "Quick, let him come in, let our great heroes come in." ”
........................
Note: The second more is sent, and I am so tired that I have no strength to ask for votes, so I can only knock on the keyboard.
Gentlemen, give me a monthly pass, and the pastries are for everyone.
