Chapter 10: A Turmoil
γChapter 10 - A TurmoilγWho said we should go back to the Southwest?
The night was as lonely as water, the guards at the gate of the palace were napping, and suddenly they heard a neighing in the distance, and hurriedly stood up straight to take a look, and saw a fast horse galloping, and after approaching, they found that it was the general Shen Qianfan.
Who should it be. The guard suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly stepped forward to lead the horse for him: "Why is the general here in this formation?" β
"Who entered the palace before me?" Shen Qianfan asked.
"Nope." The guard shook his head, "It's been quiet. β
Shen Qianfan nodded, and didn't have time to explain more, so he quickly rushed into Chongyang Gate and went straight to the palace Imperial Forest Army station.
A moment later, another team of men and horses arrived, the torches were blazing, if it weren't for the fact that the person who hit the head was Liu Gong, the guards should have someone to make trouble.
"Liu-" As soon as he said a word, the guards were staggered and pushed aside, watching as the group of people broke into the palace.
At this moment, even if the brain reacts slowly, it can be noticed that something seems to be abnormal, and Liu Gong has already stepped down for many years, so there is no reason to run to the palace at this time, so the guards hurriedly followed into the palace to tell the higher-ups.
The deputy commander of the Royal Forest Army is named Cao Chi, who looks wilted and wilted on weekdays, as if he has no ambitions, but when he saw Shen Qianfan suddenly appear, he seemed to be a different person.
"Take him down to the old man!" Liu Gong came from afar and gave an order.
The Imperial Forest Army was divided into two groups, some of them stood behind Shen Qianfan, and more of them gathered around Cao Chi.
"The emperor has a decree." Shen Qianfan drew his sword out of its sheath and roared angrily, "Catch the rebels of the Liu Mansion, if there is anyone who resists, there will be no forgiveness!" β
"Yes!" The iron-blooded cries were neatly aligned and went straight to the sky.
In a big mansion on Zhengwen Street, when Tao Rende, the imperial prince, was still asleep, someone outside shouted: "Run away, master, a robber has come in!" β
The lady next to her sat up and said in shock, "What's wrong?" β
The sound of swords colliding outside the window was extremely harsh, although Tao Rende said that he was over sixty years old, but after all, he was a big official, and he knew that some people in the court were restless, and he had long put life and death aside, so he didn't panic. Put on his shoes and pull out the big knife next to the bed casually, and he was about to take his wife out to kill, but there was a chuckle in his ear: "Master Tao, it's still cold outside, at least put on some clothes." β
"Ahh Mrs. Tao was taken aback again, when was there an extra person in this room?
"King of the Southwest?" Tao Rende was shocked.
Duan Baiyue said: "The people who come outside are all masters, so it's better for Master Tao to stay in this bedroom obediently." β
"You...... Dare to rebel! Mrs. Tao protected her master behind her and put on an aura of command.
Tao Rende: "......"
"Madame misunderstood, this king is here to protect the two." Duan Baiyue said, "As for who the people outside are, Master Tao must know it. β
"The emperor is fine, what is the situation in the palace?" Master Tao asked.
"The emperor is still in Jiangnan, but General Shen is back." Duan Baiyue said, "Solve the group outside, if there is still time, this king will go to the palace to help General Shen again." β
Duan Yao took out a handful of poisonous insects from his pocket, slapped them over, and stuffed them all into the mouths of the rebels in front of him. Liu Fude took a knife from Duan Nian in the chest, blood gushed out of his mouth, and he finally knelt on the ground.
There were about 100 rebels, all of them were dead, obviously they were full of strength to put Tao Daren to death, but they didn't expect that they would kill Duan Baiyue halfway and disrupt all plans.
Tao Rende hurriedly said: "The king of the southwest, and the rest of the colleagues in the court-"
"Master Tao doesn't have to worry." Duan Baiyue said, "The emperor has already sent someone to protect him secretly. β
"That's good." Tao Rende suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Can you go back to sleep?" Duan Yao yawned.
"I can't." Duan Baiyue turned over and got on her horse, "Come on, follow this king into the palace!" β
Duan Yao's tearful eyes were deeply deceived, and it turned out that there was more than one fight.
The sound of killing in the palace shook the sky and the flames were blazing, and the chamberlains and palace maids screamed and fled, all feeling that they were afraid that they were going to change the sky. Over the years, Liu Gong has worked hard, and has placed a lot of eyeliner around Chu Yuan and in the army, in order to help himself succeed one day. Now that it is difficult to turn back, it is natural to fight a bloody way, first get rid of Chu Yuan's cronies, and then inform the world that the emperor has been assassinated in Jiangnan, so that he can justify his name, recall the exiled high king Chu Xiang back to the royal city, and reshuffle the cards in his hand.
Shen Qianfan fought bloodily, and even his eyes were red.
"The general still surrendered as soon as possible." Liu Gong was outside the crowd and said slowly, "Now in this palace, there are all old man's people." β
Shen Qianfan grasped the hilt of the sword and walked straight to the door.
Not only is there chaos in the palace, but there is also chaos in the imperial city, the rebels seem to have emerged from the ground overnight, wanting to put all the senior officials of the DPRK and the Central Committee who are against the Liu Mansion under house arrest, but they were intercepted by the shadow guards secretly laid by Chu Yuan, and the firelight was full of killing sounds, and some brave people opened the door and listened for a while, and then they were pulled back by their daughter-in-law.
Seeing that Shen Qianfan was a little overwhelmed, Liu Gong sneered, turned around and strode towards the imperial study.
"Where does Lord Liu want to go?" Duan Baiyue rode his horse and stood in front of him, raising his eyebrows slightly.
"King of the Southwest?" Liu Gong was shocked in his heart, he didn't know why he was here, and he couldn't tell whether the other party was friend or foe, whether he wanted to help Chu Yuan, or he wanted to get a piece of the pie from his own hands.
"I heard that there is a lively scene here, so this king came." Duan Baiyue smiled, "It's really worth the trip." β
"If the king of the southwest has the conditions, he might as well say it directly." Liu Gong said.
Duan Baiyue asked, "No matter what the request is, Lord Liu can agree?" β
Liu Gong gritted his teeth: "If the king of the southwest can help me succeed, all the provinces of Yunnan and Guizhou can be ceded from now on." β
Duan Baiyue shook her head: "This king wants more than that. β
Liu Gong didn't expect his appetite to be so big, so he was dissatisfied: "The king of the southwest can think clearly, the conditions I can give are unprecedented, if it is replaced by the Chu family, I am afraid that even the current sixteen states in the southwest will try to take it back." β
"Do you dare to brag about this condition?" Duan Baiyue smiled, "What the Emperor of Chu can give to this king is unprecedented." β
"Whatever Chu Yuan promises, the old man can also agree." Liu Gong was ruthless.
"What Emperor Chu can give, I'm afraid you can't give it." Duan Baiyue pulled out the knife and unsheathed it, "It's better to bring it earlier, and I can use it to make people happy." β
"Presumptuous!" Liu Gong took two steps back, "Give it to me!" β
The killers around him surged up, Duan Baiyue sneered, the blade in his hand cut through the wind, and the gold and stone collided, bringing out countless hissing fires.
On the other end, Duan Yao probably didn't wake up, so he was a lot more brutal, and after throwing Shen Qianfan aside, he began to sprinkle poisonous insects all over the sky, and put down a large piece in the blink of an eye.
Shen Qianfan: "......"
This fierce battle lasted until dawn, the Chu army won a complete victory, Liu Gong and his son were tied up and thrown into prison on charges of treason, and the rest of the rebels suffered countless casualties, and the senior members of the court and the central government of the Liu Mansion were also notified. The rest of the officials came to the DPRK and China to discuss the matter the next day, and the hall that was originally full was mostly empty.
"Master Taifu, General Shen, is he okay?" Liu Dajiong was very worried--after this catastrophe, he became one of the few members of the Liu family in the court.
Taifu said: "Lord Liu can rest assured, I can't delay the relationship with my niece Ling." β
Lord Liu loves to be a matchmaker, and the government and the opposition know it, and the officials also laughed out loud when they heard it, dispelling a lot of worries caused by last night's accident.
But then again, even the highly respected Taifu Master didn't expect that Chu Yuan would have expected this day and placed shadow guards around everyone to protect them. Thinking of this, it is inevitable to be glad, fortunately, there is no mistake in the moment.
Although Shen Qianfan was injured a little, he was not in danger of his life, and he could be cured for a few more days. Duan Baiyue said goodbye on the afternoon of the second day, saying that she was going back to the southwest.
"What does the King of the Southwest think about Shada?" Shen Qianfan asked.
"The Liu family has fallen, and no one should care about him." Duan Baiyue said, "As for why Liu Gong wanted to find him to enter the royal city, and why Gu Li died tragically on the streets, this qiΔ has nothing to do with the southwest, and it is inconvenient to interfere in the next, so it will be handed over to the general for trial."
"As the king of the southwest said that day, I am afraid that the northwest will be really chaotic." Shen Qianfan sighed worriedly.
Duan Baiyue smiled, and after saying goodbye to him, she left the royal city and rode all the way to the south.
After ten days, Duan Yao realized that "this is the way back to the southwest?" β
"Of course not." Duan Baiyue said.
Duan Yao opened her mouth in shock, what does it mean to "naturally not".
"Who said the king was going to the southwest?" Duan Baiyue asked rhetorically.
"You said it yourself!" Duan Yao was sad and indignant, and said it himself a few days ago.
Duan Baiyue raised her eyebrows, without a trace of guilt: "Let's go to Chiba City." β
Duan Yao was desperate: "To see your sweetheart? β
Duan Baiyue rode his horse and whipped his horse, galloping all the way.
Duan Yao wanted to cry very much, you have a tryst, why can't you let me go back first.
In Qionghua Valley, Chu Yuan was lying on the bed reading a book, Ye Jin came in with medicine, and then wanted to pull out his legs and slip out.
"Xiao Jin." Chu Yuan stopped him.
"What Xiao Jin, Xiao Jin is called by the master!" Ye Jin crossed his waist, "I told you, I want to call me this miracle doctor." "Do you understand the honorific title, is there any politeness!
"Okay, this miracle doctor." Chu Yuan looked at him with a smile, "Can you talk to me about it?" β
"I can still laugh." Ye Jin sat on the edge of the bed, "An emperor, mixed like this." β
"To sit firmly on the dragon chair, you have to pay some price." Chu Yuan said, "I don't feel wronged. β
Of course you don't feel wronged! With a large group of people to eat and live for nothing, they don't have to pay a penny of silver, and they have to have meat!
Ye Jin thought angrily, the person who should be wronged should obviously be me.
"I heard from the little maid, there are guests coming to this valley tomorrow?" Chu Yuan asked.
"It's the Shadow Chasing Palace Master, and I happened to be passing by." Ye Jin nibbled on the pear and replied casually.
"Qin Shaoyu?" Chu Yuan was a little surprised.
"You actually know people in the rivers and lakes?" Ye Jin didn't expect this.
"I don't know, but I've talked about it, martial arts are world-famous and chivalrous, and it sounds like a person who can do great things." Chu Yuan said.
"Don't say you want to be an official." Ye Jin reminded, "He won't agree." β
"Really?" Chu Yuan was a little disappointed, "Now that there are frequent wars on the northwest border, it is the time for the DPRK and China to employ people, and there are many talents in the rivers and lakes, if you are will-"
"I don't know about others, but Qin Shaoyu will definitely not agree." Ye Jin interrupted him and repeated it again.
Chu Yuan had no choice but to sigh.
"At the beginning, everyone wanted to grab the throne, and it was a good errand, but it turned out to be so tired." Ye Jin couldn't figure it out.
Chu Yuan smiled and stretched out his hand to arrange his collar for him.
Don't touch it! Ye Jin slapped it off, and said that everyone is not too familiar, how can it be easy to move hands and feet.
"Will someone come and pick you up?" After a while, Ye Jin asked again, "Or do you want me to help deliver the letter?" β
"I have sent someone back to the royal city." Chu Yuan said, "I guess someone will come in a while." β
Wangcheng ...... Ye Jin really wanted to look up to the sky in the courtyard with his hands behind his back and sigh.
Wouldn't that be a long time to live?
On the official road, Duan Baiyue kept hurrying day and night, if it weren't for the fact that the mount was a famous horse, I was afraid that several horses would have died of exhaustion.
"Hurry to get married?" In the middle of the day and night, Duan Yao was irritable.
Duan Baiyue reminded: "In three hours, we will be on the road again." "So I don't have much time to sleep.
Duan Yao lay back under the tree, life was better than death.
If you can be reincarnated in the next life, you will definitely choose a family without an elder brother.
It was very quiet in the grove, and the group had been on the road for days, and they had slept soundly, but even so, the nature of those who practiced martial arts was still there. Therefore, when the slightest sound of breaking wind was heard, everyone's eyes opened almost at the same moment.
Hundreds of darts flew in a dense row, nailed to the trees with a faint blue light, followed by a large golden wire net covered with quenched barbed thorns. Duan Baiyue swept it away with a knife and took Duan Yao to safety.
"King of the Southwest." The sound of laughter like silver bells came from the depths of the forest, and the petals of flowers fluttered in all directions. Duan Yao rolled her eyes and asked, "Your romantic debt?" "Look at this fragrant one, don't hurry up and greet it with a smile.
Duan Baiyue said: "You are wrong about this, I am afraid that the purpose of her trip is not only me." β
"Could it be me?" Duan Yao pouted.
"Has the King of the Southwest ever thought about when he would give Yao'er to me?" A soft sedan chair fell from the sky, and out of it came a beautiful young woman.
Duan Yao: "......"
This aunt, what did you just say, can you say it again.
"Blue Sect Master." Duan Baiyue said, "I said that day that Xiao Yao has not studied the Bodhicitta Sutra, and the sect leader is afraid that he has found the wrong person." β
"I know better than anyone what kind of kung fu he is practicing." The young woman approached step by step, "Give him to me, maybe I can change the king of the southwest to live." β
The person who came was not good, Duan Baiyue stood in front of Duan Yao, and her eyes became worse.
