Gradually, the team returning from Anhua Valley approached. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The people of the city saw this team waving flags, horns sounding, and soldiers lined up in unison. Walking at the front of the queue was Cheng Yanghao, who was dressed in a fish-scale green steel tiger tooth armor, holding an eight-treasure goose feather knife, and riding a jade-faced soapy body sweat and bloody horse.

A piece of cyan linen wrapped around several round objects was tied to the side of his mount, and blood oozed from the outside of the linen, which was supposed to be the head of the rebel leader.

Cheng Xin, who was standing on the city tower, was overjoyed when he saw his son returning victoriously and majesticly. He said to the people next to him: "Quickly beat the general's Fuhu drum!" ”

The general Fuhu drum is a war drum specially celebrated by the Qi State to celebrate the triumphant return of the soldiers, and it usually stands on the city tower.

This drum is five feet high, the red drum body, the whole cooked cowhide as the drum surface, by the red copper rivets tauted, when the drum needs two big men to stand on both sides of the drum at the same time to swing the hammer to beat, the sound is high-pitched and majestic, shaking the heavens and the earth.

Hearing such a drum sound, all the soldiers inside and outside the city were in high spirits.

For the samurai who fought on the battlefield every day and pinned his head to the waistband of his trousers, victory was not only a reward and money, but more importantly, an affirmation of courage and a man's honor.

This is even more true for Cheng Yanghao, who can see his father standing on the city tower, welcoming his return.

Thinking of the series of rewards and glory after returning to Luoyang, he couldn't hold back the ecstasy in his heart, raised the Eight Treasure Yanling Knife in his hand above his head, and waved it vigorously......

Everyone couldn't help but smile when they saw the young general act like this......

At this moment, no one noticed that in the ranks of soldiers three feet away from Cheng Yanghao, a private was quietly sliding his hand to his waist.

After finding the right position, he quickly pulled out a half-foot-long sharp short knife from his belt and threw it towards Cheng Yanghao's back.

This series of actions was clean and neat, without pause, everyone saw a flash of cold light, Cheng Yanghao had already been stabbed, Babao Yanling knife "dangchang" landed, and people also "clanged" down from the horse.

Everyone exclaimed and gathered around Cheng Yanghao. At this time, the person who threw the knife and stabbed him was also discovered, and the people next to him were afraid that he would resist and flee, so they had already drawn their knives and surrounded him, preparing to meet him.

When this man saw the scene in front of him, he smiled proudly, stretched out his right hand and clenched his fist, and used ten percent of his internal force to hit his heart. He only heard a "pounce", he spurted blood from his mouth, and fell backwards on his back.

By the time everyone came up to check on him, the man was already dead!

Someone half-hugged Cheng Yanghao's body and shouted to the surroundings: "Medical officer! What about the medical officer!? ”

The medical officer rushed over, looked at Cheng Yanghao's injuries and measured his snort, shook his head and said, "General Cheng has gone west." ”

The lieutenant generals beat their chests and regretted it: "Lord Cheng entrusted Gongzi to me and others, but we let Gongzi be plotted before entering the city...... Lord Cheng should have seen everything in the city, how can I explain to my lordship, why don't I go with my son! ”

At this time, someone said: "The generals should blame themselves slowly, they should first find the murderer, torture them strictly, and find out who is behind the scenes." ”

The lieutenant generals felt justified and were about to order the arrest of the murderer, when someone came to report: "The murderer who assassinated General Cheng has died with blood!" ”

Everyone was shocked: "Which stupid person dares to kill the murderer!" ”

"No one did anything, the murderer was unharmed, and he was angry!"

"Nonsense, wait for me to see!"

The lieutenants walked up to the murderer and examined it, and sure enough, there were no wounds, and seeing that the man's face did not look like poisoning, they called the medical officer to carefully examine it.

After a while, the medical officer came back and said, "This person's left sternum has been broken, and the internal organs have been injured. It seems that it was caused by being hit by a heavy object. ”

"It is inferred that this man must have been one of the rebels who had besieged the valley last night, and after they were besieged, our army threw boulders and rolling logs from the top of the valley, and this man's sternum was probably broken at that time. However, this person's martial arts are very strong, and he should use his internal force to barely force his heart, and he can only escape from Anhua Valley after being seriously injured by this. ”

"He secretly changed into the clothes of our army and was in the middle of the ranks. Perhaps he originally planned to infiltrate Luoyang City to treat himself or assassinate a higher-ranking official, but the pain of the broken sternum was so intense that he couldn't hold on when he arrived here, so he used his last strength to assassinate General Cheng. ”

"After the assassination, he used internal force to hit the broken sternum, shattering the heart and crushing the internal organs, causing massive intra-abdominal hemorrhage and soon dying!"

The lieutenant generals beat their chests and said in annoyance: "If I can be more careful, why would such a situation occur!" Now that the major general is dead, the murderer has committed suicide, and the privy envoy doesn't know what to be angry about! ”

Hanyang Palace a few days later.

The drizzling rain fell for two days, and it gradually subsided in the afternoon.

The breeze with water vapor blew and swept off the white petals of the tuberose jade moon, and a white-browed flycatcher on the flower branch was frightened and flapped its wings and flew away, leaving a dark fragrance to fill the warm pavilion.

Yunyang, who woke up from a nap, got up to get off the ground, and Yin Lu heard a voice and walked in and said, "Niangniang, your body is just better, lie down more." If you want any slave or maid to get it, why bother to get up and suffer by yourself. ”

"Didn't Yang Zuo Yuan say it when he asked for a pulse in the morning? Although the dragon fetus in the womb is safe and sound, the mother still has to stay in bed for a few more days to stabilize the fetal gas, and the daily fetal medicine cannot be saved. ”

Yun Yang frowned when he heard this, and said: "It really hurts the heart of the palace to eat the fetal pills, and the taste is so bitter that it makes people tremble, but you don't even give the bitter words to the palace." ”

As long as he accompanied the smiling face, he coaxed and said: "Niangniang, Yang Zuoyuan said that the more bitter this medicine is, the more effective it is, and if you take something else, the effect of the medicine will be weakened." ”

"Yang Zuo Yuan judged, Yang Zuo Court judged, you are familiar with this one, he is like your serious master." Yunyang said with some dissatisfaction.

When he heard this, his face turned slightly red, and he continued: "He is a thoughtful person with Bao Niang Niang and the dragon fetus, who does the slave and maid listen to him?" ”

Yunyang glanced at her sideways and said softly: "This palace has been lying for a few days, and it has been stuffy, so I want to go outside for a walk." ”

Knowing that it was useless to stop him, he turned around and took a sandalwood swan feather webbing hat with a long blue cloak decorated with cat's eye stone silk from the gold-filled dragon-patterned square corner cabinet with a golden hook and lacquered dragon pattern.

"How can it be so cold here?" Yunyang said as he looked at the cloak.

"It's just raining, and the cold wind is blowing through the bones, so don't be strong." Without saying a word, Drink Green put the cloak on her.
