Twilight was halfway up the mountain, and the light of the fireflies in the courtyard of the Zheng family at the foot of the mountain was a little subtle, and it was not clear whether it was moving or not, so it could only be determined that the candlelight was lit for a while, and its light was flourishing, and then it was extinguished.

Huyan Charlie stretched his neck and looked down the mountain on tiptoe, and asked vigilantly, "Someone's coming?" ”

"Why? I'm afraid that the comer is not good! Seeing Huyan Chalie's brows tightened, Twilight said in a cold voice, "You think, the spring night is windy, if you go out with a lantern, it is possible for the candlelight to be fluttering or suddenly blown out by the wind, but how can it be bright?" Unless it's a lantern lit. ”

The light in the courtyard of the Zheng family just now was not candlelight, but firelight.

Although the person carrying the lantern may have accidentally knocked over the lantern, the flame was extinguished as soon as it was lit, and it was so fast that it was too suspicious.

Although Huyan Chalie is young, he is very intelligent, and after thinking about it for a while, he understands the truth.

"It's him! He's coming! Intuitively, Huyan Chalie took a step back vigilantly, retreated into the ancestral hall, and came out with a small burden on his back, "We can't stay here, where are we going?" ”

The Zheng family is unreliable, and they will definitely confess that they are hiding here, but fortunately, she is right, Sai Weng knows whether it is a blessing or not, and it is still too late for them to leave now!

But Huyan Charlie walked a few steps but didn't hear footsteps behind him, and he turned around to see that Twilight was still there. The old tree outside the ancestral hall sprouted new shoots, the starlight was finely broken, the young shoots were also broken, the girl was dressed in the old tree and stood in the wind, a plain dress reflected the light and shadow all over the day, and the mountains and rivers of the sky were all shouldered. The demeanor is resolute and unfolding, but the figure is as thin as paper, like a wisp of fresh breeze in the mountains, which can be melted away at any time, and it is difficult to find life and death.

Huyan Charlie looked at the people under the tree, and his young heart suddenly felt scared, put down his burden and took two steps forward, and asked cautiously, "Can't you walk?" ”

To his relief, the man under the tree came out, and the sound of stepping on the grass was very real, and he slowly breathed a sigh of relief, but listened to the man: "I still have the strength to go down the mountain, so you don't have to go with me." ”

"Down the mountain?"

"Yes."

"Saving people?"

"Hmm."

"Are you stupid?!" Huyan Charlie's cautious tone finally filled with anger after repeated guesses.

Twilight smiled, squatted down in front of him, and didn't answer the question, but said, "The spring night is cold, and you don't know the way in this deep mountain and old forest, so don't go up the mountain alone." After I go down the mountain, you can spend the night in the ancestral hall with peace of mind. Hu Yanhao is bound to win for me, but there is no reason to take you back to Guanwai, I have my own way to make him have no time to take care of him after I go down the mountain. ”

“……”

"If I can't come back after dawn, you will turn back the same way, climb over Maishan and Cuiping Mountain, find the official road, and act at the opportunity." As she spoke, Twilight Qing took out two things from her body, which were the waist card of the Governor's Mansion and the talisman of the Jiangbei Water Division, "I have something I want to entrust to you, help me give these two things to Bu Xihuan." And ......"

Twilight lowered her head and raised her hand to stroke the hairpin. Human life is at stake, there is not much time to say goodbye, but the cool feeling of her fingertips brought her back to the early summer of that year, on the top of the cliff, under the old tree, the man sat cross-legged, carefully carved and polished by the moonlight, and a jade bamboo hairpin was the birthday gift he prepared for her. Since then, she has been wearing this hairpin, never expecting that she would take it off and return it one day.

"You have this thing with you, if you see Bu Xihuan, say that I entrusted it before leaving. He will understand my mind and try to keep you, and you can trust him. Twilight handed over the three belongings to Huyan Charlie, didn't look at it much, only got up and looked north, and walked away.

"Don't come along, remember what I told me."

*

At the foot of the mountain, the Zheng family.

An oil lamp lit up in the main room, illuminating the eight members of the Zheng family who were tied up in a ball with frightened faces.

Hu Yanhao sat at the head, fiddling with the wick with a scimitar, and saw only the light of the knife in his eyes, and he was not injured.

There was a sound of rummaging through the cabinets in the east and west rooms, and after a while, two Liao soldiers came to the door of the main house and replied: "Great Khan, no one was found!" ”

The Zheng family couldn't understand Hu Yu, but they saw the person sitting tall and smiled.

The knife was still roasting on the fire, and the man looked at the knife without looking at the man, but asked, "Where is the man?" ”

The old man thought that Hu Yanhao was asking where Langzhong was, so he smiled two steps forward, bowed down and said, "Back to the Great Khan, Zheng Langzhong is in ......"

Phew!

Before the words fell, the blood line rose, and the old man was pointing at Zheng Angelica, and in a posture of turning his head, blood beads came out of his neck, splashing three feet, and splashed Zheng Angelica's face.

The blood was still warm, salty and bloody, Hu Yanhao unhurriedly handed the knife into the flames, only to hear the sound of the sound, a bead of blood rolled into the candle flame, crackling and exploding, the sound was like thunder.

Zheng Angelica's face was covered with blood, the room was silent, only to hear a knock, the old man fell straight to the ground, a bloody face happened to be in front of Wang, Wang's eyes rolled, and he convulsed on the ground.

"Mother!" Zheng Angelica was shocked, hurriedly knelt and moved to Wang, who knew that just moved two steps in front of him blocked a Chinese boot, the boots were embroidered with eagles, gems for the eyes, gold silk for the feathers, the lifelike state reminded of the desert night, the sky is like the ink moon like a hook, the eagle spreads its wings, and the sky is proud.

Zheng Angelica only felt that the gaze above his head was sharper than that of an eagle falcon, and the man's voice was extremely cold, making people smell like falling into a cold pool.

"The medicine stove is still warm, and the fragrance of the medicine has not dispersed, which means that she has not gone far. Ben Khan only asks you once, where did the people go? ”

Zheng Angelica was taken aback, and then remembered that the medicine stove was still in the yard!

"Great Khan...... The Great Khan misunderstood, the villain's wife was pregnant, and she couldn't sleep at night, and the medicine in the hospital was a fetal pill. Zheng Angelica lowered his head and replied in a low voice, sounding calm, but he had no confidence in his heart. As soon as he smelled the incense, he knew that it was not a fetal medicine, but he couldn't find any other excuse for a while, so he could only pray that Hu Yanhao didn't understand medical science, and it was difficult to just smell the fragrance and understand the medicine.

"Baby?" Hu Yanhao really didn't understand medical science, but he laughed, and his laughter made people's backs chill like a death knell.

Hu Yanhao didn't speak, only glanced at Su Shi, Liao Bing understood, stepped forward and picked up Su Shi and lifted it in front of Hu Yanhao! Su Shi's abdomen under the spring clothes looked round and high, Zheng Angelica was shocked, and suddenly looked up to see Hu Yanhao remove the red-burning knife from the candle flame, and the knife was ruthless, cutting it into Su's belly for seven months!

"Slow!" When Zheng Angelica screamed, the tip of the knife had cut through Su's clothes, and the blood stained Zheng Angelica's eyes red, and a mouthful of blood gushing up his throat was swallowed by him, and the fishy sweet taste was like a red-hot knife cutting his throat and intestines, and he knew the pain, "Slow!" The Governor is in ......"

"Here!" At this time, a clear sound suddenly came, startling the voices of the people in the room!

Hu Yanhao raised his head suddenly!

The door is open, there is no light in the courtyard, candlelight and candlelight, the old courtyard is full of stars, new sprouts are full of trees, and there is a person standing on the south wall. The man is dressed in old clothes, the plain cloth is the skirt, the broken branches are hairpins, the plain clothes are slender and the bones are weaker than the spring branches, and the Qingzhuo style is better than the old pine.

This is the first time in his life that he has seen her take off her armor and skirt, and she will not see the beautiful bun in her gorgeous skirt, and the two sleeves that are flying in the wind are plain white and the two leaves of the black hairpin are tender and yellow, but they are woven into a scene, which is unforgettable in his life. In the following life, he often saw him again in his dreams, and the girl stood alone in front of an old tree under the long galaxy, reaching for it, but never to be found.

"Hu Yanhao, let go, I'll go with you!" Twilight Qing's voice was as clear as a cold stream, waking up Hu Yanhao and the Zheng family.

Zheng Angelica suddenly choked up and couldn't speak.

Liao Bing drew his sword and pointed to the courtyard, Hu Yanhao smiled coldly, "I didn't expect Ben Khan to find you, right?" ”

"I didn't expect that." Twilight replied, sounding honest, but with the second half, "I didn't expect you to hurt so badly." ”

When she saw the old man in the house, she understood everything. She was in a hurry when she fled, and she could only conclude that Hu Yanhao was injured, but she didn't expect that his injuries would be so serious that she wanted to find Lang Zhong. Zheng Angelica is a well-known Langzhong in this neighborhood, and it is not surprising that the old man brought people to the Zheng family.

"Are you concerned about Ben Khan?"

"Of course, I've always been concerned about when the Great Khan will return."

The two looked at each other from a distance across the spring tree in the old courtyard, and they didn't see each other in the middle of the night, and their tone was quite like an old friend meeting each other casually, but the greetings were quiet in the courtyard, and they heard a loud laugh in the middle of the night. There was a bit of wildness in the laughter, a little calm, slow and cool.

"What you should be concerned about is when they will return to heaven." Hu Yanhao laughed, and the front of Su's abdomen suddenly bloomed with blood!

"Stop!" Twilight is furious!

"Lady!" Zheng Angelica screamed sadly and stepped forward to crash into Hu Yanhao! But his hands were tied, and he was kicked down by a Liao soldier just about to get up, only to hear a muffled sound, a mouthful of blood spit out from Zheng Angelica's mouth, and there were two broken teeth lying in the blood, and the eagle boots stepped into the blood, and the teeth were broken like a bruise, Zheng Angelica was stepped on by the eagle boots, and suddenly felt that his spine was about to be broken, and he fainted when he coughed up blood. And the skirt in front of Su's abdomen has been stained with blood, and the knife wound is three inches long, as if he has been dissected alive from a distance.

This scene made the crying of a pair of young children in the house suddenly stopped, and the couple in the second room hugged the baby who was still in swaddling clothes, and was extremely frightened, but they did not dare to cry, for fear of annoying Hu Yanhao and the family being slaughtered.

But the scimitar did not hang above their heads, but swept straight to the wall, and blood beads poured out of the door, and the sword wind was awe-inspiring!

"Ben Khan promised you the position of the Yan clan, you fled wholeheartedly, and now when you come back, do you think that as long as you are willing to go out with Ben Khan, Ben Khan will not be guilty of the past?" Hu Yanhao sneered, with murderous intent to the bone, "You shouldn't come back, if you don't come back, they may still be alive, but if you come back for them, they have to die!" ”

The second room of the Zheng family was stunned when he heard this, and then he remembered the rumors about Emperor Liao.

It is rumored that Emperor Liao was born from a humble background, and was not recognized by King Di in his early years, and now he is the emperor of Wuhu and Liao, and he never allows people to be disobedient. But political affairs are unpredictable, and tonight's events are not difficult to guess - the founding emperor, I know how arrogant he is, and his sweetheart is committed to others for the sake of others, how much more will it hurt his face? He was reluctant to kill his sweetheart with a knife, so he wanted to kill them to vent his anger!

"Broom Star!" At this moment, a woman's voice of indignation came from the house.

Su's face was as white as paper, and his sweat was as if he had just been fished out of the water, and the hemp rope on the front of his neck had worn out the flesh and skin. She turned her head to look outside the house with difficulty, her eyes were full of fear and resentment after being tortured, her voice was weak, but her words were sharp, "I thought it was the savior who arrived, but in the end it was the Hades who urged her life, why did you come back?!" Knowing that the pursuers are behind, why did you come to our Zheng family tonight, affecting the innocent children in my womb, old and young! ”

With these words, Twilight stood on the wall, the night breeze blowing, and her shoulders were thin and stiff.

"No, you shouldn't have opened the coffin in the first place! My father-in-law has been dead for more than ten years, even if we learn that the real murderer is real, can people like us take revenge? If the father-in-law knows about the spring, he will not want the bones to be dug up, and future generations will suffer! The Zheng family's blood revenge is difficult to avenge, but the governor has all decided the case in the name of God, how can he still have the face to feel that he is gracious to the Zheng family? Later, there were chasing soldiers, seeking medical treatment late at night, and innocent people were affected, what did the Zheng family owe to you, and wanted a family of eight to suffer this catastrophe? ! Su Shi's voice was lower than the other, as if his strength was about to run out, but his expression became more and more crazy, "Broom star!" If the Zheng family is destroyed tonight, the unjust souls of the family, young and old, will not let you go even if they turn into powerful ghosts! ”

The night wind seems to know people's hearts, and suddenly makes a mournful sound, and the night birds fly in fright, and the sound is like an old owl. The person at the head of the wall has a skirt and hunting sleeves like a flag, and the more stoic the demeanor, the more thin it looks like paper, as if he will fall off the wall at any time by the wind.

Hu Yanhao's eyebrows were secretly pressed, and the eagle boots were slightly raised, as if he was about to run out of the door, but he only crushed it in the blood, endured it and did not move, he never even put down the scimitar, pointed at Du Qing and asked, "Do you know what Ben Khan likes you the most?" ”

didn't expect Dui Qing to answer, he said to himself: "Since the first time I saw you on the Hucha grassland, you have been saving people, saving the Northwest New Army, saving the people of Shangyu, saving the generals in the general's mansion, and saving Yuan Xiu in the desert palace!" When did you not end up in a mess or injured? You woman seems to be smart, but you're actually stupid! ”

When the words fell, the knife light in the room flickered, and the scimitar suddenly pointed into the room, and the tip of the knife was aimed at the Su family.

Su Shi was shocked, but the second room of the Zheng family looked back at the house, his eyes were full of shock - if it was all speculation about this girl's identity before, wouldn't Emperor Liao's words be equivalent to confirming her identity? Save the new army in the northwest, save the people of Shangyu, everyone in Shengjing City knows that these deeds are about the governor of Yingrui!

Born in a lowly background, he entered the court on the border and trained the soldiers...... The world-famous young governor is really a daughter!

This, this......

"What is there about this kind of person that is worth saving?" Hu Yanhao's voice woke up the second room of the Zheng family, and when he came back to his senses, the scimitar had been pressed against Su's neck, and the hemp rope broke a wisp, and the blade was an inch closer to Su's!

Su Shi saw a pair of bottomless eyes, which seemed to contain a black storm at the bottom of the eyes, which would devour people at any time, brutal and ruthless.

Hu Yanhao pulled Su Shi's hair violently, forcing her to look outside the house and look up at the south wall, "She is a fool, just wash away your grievances, and don't care if you can avenge your blood revenge!" Do you have to avenge you if you find out the real murderer? Ignorant woman, insatiable! The Daxing royal family is precious, the scholar family is second, the Han scholar is third-class, and the commoners are the last! She is in a lowly status, civilians are not as good, she can still join the army to avenge her father, the Zheng family is a cold family, the head of the family is dead, the clansmen are still there, I don't know how many times better than her, I can't take revenge, do you blame her? You are as weak as a cow or sheep, and you don't want to be self-reliant, but the person who told you where the wolves are didn't kill the wolves for you, the insatiable face of the Daxing people is really ugly! ”

The hemp rope around Su's neck broke one with a clatter, and only one was left wrapped in front of the knife, like the last straw, and there was a danger of breaking the rope at any time.

"You woman is stupid, didn't you hear her say she didn't expect Ben Khan to be so badly injured? She values human life more than the sky, if she knew that Ben Khan was seriously injured and would come to seek medical treatment, even if she died in the mountains, she would not have stepped into your Zheng family half a step! Hu Yanhao pulled Su's hair and turned her face back, looked into her frightened eyes, and smiled mockingly at her, "The person who wants to slaughter your Zheng family is Ben Khan, and even the enemy can scold the wrong, how stupid can you be as a woman?" Could it be that you don't dare to insult Ben Khan, so you will spill your anger on Ben Khan's woman, bullying the soft and afraid of the hard, huh? ”

This statement was sharp, and Su Shi was afraid to speak, only trembling like a leaf in the wind.

Hu Yanhao pinched Su's chin fiercely, and smiled like a Senluo evil ghost, "Ben Khan came to seek medical treatment tonight, if she is caught by Ben Khan, and you treat her injuries, Ben Khan may spare your life, and only find her to settle the account for escape!" But you knew that she was wounded, and you drove her into the mountains, and Ben Khan wanted to kill you very much! ”

When Su Shi heard this, tears rolled out of his eyes, and his eyes looked stunned.

Could it be that the Zheng family took her in, so she suffered this catastrophe? Didn't he just say that she came back because of the Zheng family, so he wanted to kill them?

At this time, Su Shi suddenly felt that the finger on his chin was loosened, and the man let go of her with a look of disgust, turned his head to look at the girl standing on the south wall, and asked, "Can you see clearly?" This is the person you want to save, is it worth it? You want to redress the grievances of the people of the world, and the people of the world are not necessarily grateful to you, as if there are still many such ignorant people in the world, what do their grievances have to do with you? It's better to go back to Daliao with Ben Khan, you and I are at ease, and he will go to the name of the green history, and take care of the good and evil in this world! ”

Hu Yanhao put away his knife and stepped out of the door, stretching out his hand to Twilight Qing across the courtyard. Tonight he was deceived by her again, and he wanted to be severely punished after he caught her, but when he saw her, his resolute demeanor somehow reminded him of his grandmother, she was like a prairie woman, but much thinner than a prairie woman. He has never been to Jiangnan, and he doesn't know the gentleness and gentleness of Jiangnan women, in his eyes, she is not gentle, but she makes him soft-hearted.

Therefore, let her see clearly the greed and ugliness of people in the world, let her abandon those benevolence, righteousness, virtue and goodness, accompany him out of the customs, be free and free, and not afraid of notoriety.

"Nope." The voice from the wall was weak but clear, the girl's face was as pale as paper, but her eyes were as clear as ever, and she was stubborn, "The world insults me and deceives me, it is the business of the world, what does it have to do with me?" I can't control the hearts of the world, but I can know my own will. I am determined to redress grievances, not to leave a name for history, in order to live up to what I have learned and have a clear conscience. This will not change, and life and death will not change! ”

"You ......" Hu Yanhao's outstretched hand froze in mid-air, for a long time, and the sound of his sleeves was as strong as the wind, "stubborn!" ”

Twilight Qing didn't have the strength to say much, but said lightly: "The Great Khan and I, after all, are different Taoists and do not conspire with each other. ”

“…… Good! Good! It's a good way, it's not the same! Hu Yanhao said three times in a row, and laughed, the laughter contained in the laughter does not know whether it is pride or bitterness, and the straight people feel that such a man, the rare affection in this life is scattered in the laughter, and when the laughter is gone, the night wind is cold in vain, "That Khan wants to see, you and me, who loses and who wins!" ”

Hu Yanhao raised his hand, the sword wind in the house was blowing, and the Liao soldiers held scimitars in their hands, hanging high above the heads of the Zheng family, just waiting for a will, old and young, women and children, and heads fell to the ground.

The couple in the second room held the baby in fright, looked at Su, and then looked back at Duqing, not knowing which one to ask for.

Su Shi no longer knows who is to blame for tonight's difficulty, her fetus is nearly full-term, and she has fetal gas when she is tied, and she has suffered from torture, she doesn't know how long she can last, this child is afraid that it will be difficult to escape her doom tonight...... If I hadn't driven the girl out tonight, maybe the child in my womb would have survived.

I don't know whose fault it is, but I regret it in my heart after all, Su Shi's tears are like rain, looking down at her high abdomen, the knife edge is not deep, but the blood has stained the skirt, her hands are tied, and she can't even touch the child in her belly. Looking at the pair of children cowering on the ground, the mother-in-law who fainted, the husband whose life and death were unknown, and the child whose fetal movement in the womb was getting weaker and weaker, Su closed his eyes and wet his front with tears.

I am afraid that this disaster cannot be avoided......

However, the knife that had been waiting for a long time did not fall, and the scene of the Hades Palace on Huangquan Road was more difficult to see than she imagined, she cautiously opened her eyes and saw that Hu Yanhao was still at the door, his hand raised in the air and still not falling, his face was pale, and he was staring at the outside of the house.

Su Shi's gaze followed, and he was suddenly stunned.

Twilight Qing held a thin knife in his hand, and the blade pressed his neck, "Since the Great Khan likes to compete with others, then you might as well compare and see, the knife in your and my hands, who is faster!" ”

Hu Yanhao's forehead was bruised, "You dare!" ”

Twilight Qing tugged at the corners of her mouth lightly, "In my life, I have violated my will twice, although I have judged the wrong case, but I have not regretted my mistakes, and I have never harmed the innocent. But tonight I don't have the heart to affect the innocent, but the innocent is affected by me, and I can only fight with my life! ”

Twilight Qing raised her head, the blade pressed down an inch, a bead of red stained the snow chest, her face did not change, her breath was vain but she spat out the words clearly, and asked: "The Zheng family's head falls to the ground, and I will splash blood on the south wall!" I dare to accompany the funeral, dare to ask the Great Khan if he dares to kill! ”

The clear sound was sonorous, like a sword out of its sheath, cutting through the night wind and piercing into the house, and the man in the room had a burning gaze and pursed his lips like a knife.

She's threatening him!

She knew very well that when the Great Liao was first built, the old clan power still existed, and he needed her to follow the left and right in the name of Sang Zhuo to stabilize the hearts of the people, so she dared to gamble with her life! What she gambled on was not her life, but his throne, and the great Liao Jiangshan that he painstakingly unified.

The eight members of the Zheng family are just small people, how can they be compared with his imperial throne?

He should have wanted her to live, but—

"Ben Khan doesn't believe you dare!" These words were squeezed out between his teeth, and Hu Yanhao stared at Du Qing's hand, betting that she would not dare to go under the knife again.

She is too smart, he has never won in the game with her, this is the case in the mountains of Qingzhou, this is the case in the Hucha grassland, this is the case in the general's mansion, and the same is true in the mausoleum of the Emperor of Siam, including tonight, he still can't figure out how to untie the rope when she was in Yizhuang, he was almost deceived by her to the official road!

She couldn't believe it, and he didn't dare to believe it.

Who knows that after he released the Zheng family, as she wished, what awaited him would be her escape again, or an unpredictable trap?

The only thing he was sure of was that she would never kill herself easily when she thought of Emperor Daxing.

Hu Yanhao smiled sarcastically, the reason why he played with her, and the reason why he let go was that she was thinking of other men in her heart.

Twilight smiled sarcastically, and a bead of blood rolled from under the knife into the placket of her clothes, and the red plum fell into the snow, melting silently.

Hu Yanhao's hand raised in mid-air was raised, and the Liao soldiers raised their knives when they saw the momentum, just waiting for the knife to fall.

Wang and Zheng Angelica did not wake up, a pair of young children were already frightened and lost their souls, the husband and wife in the second room hugged their young son and shrank their heads and closed their eyes, Su forgot to cry, and kept looking up at the people standing on the south wall.

Twilight pressed her neck with a knife, turned her head to look south, and the spring breeze came south, and she couldn't pick up the picturesque string sound and water fragrance of the south of the Yangtze River.

There is one thing, she forgot to explain Huyan Chalie - her father was buried on the slope of ten miles outside Bianhe City, and she once made a heavy oath in front of the grave, one is to find out the real murderer, and the other is to return to her hometown after the revenge is avenged, and bury her father and mother together - no matter what, there is no need to explain this matter, and the person in the world who knows her and understands her is Bu Xihuan, and he should have made this wish on her behalf. That night in the church, although no one witnessed it, but there was a marriage letter, he should not have asked the old eagle in front of his father's grave as a companion, without food and wine.

Then there is no regret......

She thought so, but her heart was like a hundred needles piercing, and the pain was unspeakable. At this moment, the sound of the wind was in her ears, but the night wind was not as clear as the sound of the knife wind raised in the house, and she looked up to the north in the last time before the sword wind fell. The stars lead to the north, and the towering city is not seen, but the thirty miles of mountains and rivers are separated by lovesickness, and in a trance she remembered a farewell in the afternoon, he secretly entered the inner city, she rode under the city, never stayed, never said goodbye, because she never thought that the farewell was goodbye.

Now there is no chance to say goodbye, only a thought in my heart, may the spring breeze be sent away, over the mountains and rivers and the city, into the magnificent golden palace, and tell the person to listen.

-- The rest of your life is safe and cherished.

Twilight closed her eyes, listened to the wind of the knife falling in the room, and clenched the knife in her hand before the bloody qi spread, absolutely swipe!

*

Shengjing Palace.

The blackened smoke of the official residence was carried by the wind through the palace wall, and the fine sparks were sandwiched in it, and the fireworks fell like scattered fireworks, falling on the dark square in front of the Qianhua Palace, and the faint light illuminated the blood-soaked palace bricks before the faint light went out. The palace lamp was not in hand, and the hundred officials took advantage of the fire light outside the palace to step on the blood, and a civil official couldn't help but fall on the palace steps with weak legs, and felt the wet and sticky hands all over his hands, looked down, rolled his eyes, and fainted when he landed.

A team of guards rushed in front of the palace, picked up the civil official and dragged him into the distance, the night swallowed the figure, and the remnants of the iron armor remained. The hundred officials looked back and saw that the fire in half of the city was shining on the towering palace walls, the night wind was bleak, and the wolf smoke was slaughtering.

The palace steps in front of the Golden Palace are like a ladder to heaven, hundreds of officials come and go day by day, the road is the most careful tonight, hold your breath and enter the hall, look down at the ground, behind you a slippery bloody footprint dirty jade bricks, Huanghuang Palace is shocking under the fire.

Zhenguo Gong is old, not to go to court for a long time, tonight wearing court clothes in front of the hundred officials, after entering the palace, he took a look behind him by the light of the palace lamp. Hundreds of officials accompanied the soldiers this morning, and were tied up and released outside the inner city gate, and then they were frightened by the fact that their families were tied up and the official residence was on fire, and now the fire has not been extinguished and was summoned into the palace overnight, and the embarrassed state can't help but remind people of the changing scene of the Shangyuan Palace twenty years ago.

But twenty years ago, although there was a change in the Shangyuan Palace, the family and the country still existed, and the imperial court still existed, and now it ...... Who knows what will happen to the national fortunes in the future?

Zhenguo Gong looked at the throne, saw the glory of the golden steps, Yuan Xiu's shoulders were draped in ink and stood with the dragon pillar on the back, the sword was heavily carved with a sheath treasure, the sheath color had been mottled with old seals, the power of the sword was still as heavy as the mountains, and the cloud dragon on the nine pillars of the dragon in the Jinluan Palace actually lost three points of courage in this sword, and lost all the vicissitudes of life in a comparison.

Hold the national sword!

Six hundred years ago, when the great Xing Jiangshan was first built, Emperor Gaozu ordered Shang Fang Si to make two swords, one for Shang Fang, one for holding the country, Shang Fang often accompanied Gaozu, only when picketing local traitors were given to the Qin envoys; The holding of the country was given to the prime minister's house, and the prime minister who was allowed to open the country was allowed to go to the court with a sword, and his advice was not restricted.

The military generals still need to remove their armor from the court, but the ministers can hold swords, which has never been done in ancient times, only one example of the founding of the country. However, the ancestors of the Yuan family got this sword, but they never went to court with a sword, but locked it in the Prime Minister's Mansion and never took it out in their lives. Some people speculate that the ancestor treats the virtuous minister too much, and the act of giving the sword has the intention of exploring his loyalty, and the virtuous minister is well versed in the way of the monarch and the minister, so he locks the sword in order to protect himself. Some people also say that Gao Zu is majestic and strategic, virtuous and knowledgeable, the two met in the wild, sat and cooked tea and debated for three days, and hated each other late, so they conspired with the world and established Daxing. The friendship between the two is as deep as siblings, the ancestor gave the sword out of true love, and the virtuous sword out of foresight, after all, the weight of holding the country may not provoke the jealousy of future generations.

These two speculations, the majority of those who believe in the latter, because the virtuous minister once left a testament before his death: "The way of the civil minister, the advice is not informal, the way of the military general, the sword to fight the country." The children of later generations should worship literature and jealousy, do their best, benefit the country, and do not seek wealth and nobility. ”

Most of the children of the Shi clan are both civil and martial, but the Yuan family is afraid of martial arts. Thinking back to more than 20 years ago, Xiu'er often went in and out of the Zhenguo Mansion to secretly practice riding and shooting, and once slipped to the stable to lead his war horse, and was almost kicked and injured by the horse. At that time, the Shangyuan Palace had not changed, the Yuan Guifei did not come out of the closed palace, the princes of the court contended, the harem concubines fought secretly, it was an eventful autumn, Xiu'er secretly learned martial arts by the three princes and a party to make a big fuss, Yuan Xiangguo was angry and entered the cabinet to invite the national sword to come out, tied Xiu'er, and entered the palace with a sword! Holding the national sword since entering the Prime Minister's Mansion, the Yuan family has experienced ups and downs, even if it is two generations of Fu Xian Men when the court is cold, it is not invited out, that day at first glance this sword, the court is shocked!

Yuan Xiangguo drew his sword to behead his young son, saying that since the ancestors set up a testament, the descendants of the Yuan family have used the ancestral training to introspect and self-cultivation, and have never been disloyal and unfilial. The ancestors will teach future generations to be loyal to the monarch and benefit the country, and the rebel son will dare not follow the ancestral teachings at a young age, and it will be difficult to discipline in the future, so it is better to cut it as soon as possible, so as not to be disloyal and unfilial, and bring disaster to the country.

Xiu'er was five years old at the time, tied to the golden temple, and the sword hung over his head, but he was not frightened and cried. Before the hundred officials could speak, he opened his mouth first, but instead of asking for his own life, he asked the first emperor Chen to pardon the sins of the Zhenguo Mansion.

At that time, the Yuan family had just recovered and was affected by the death of the Nine Emperor Princes and the Yuan Guifei's self-closing of the palace gate, and the officials all guessed that the first emperor wanted to remove the Yuan family, so seeing the wind and the rudder, the Yuan family was walking on thin ice in the court, and the matter of Xiu'er made the imperial history make a big fuss, and even the Zhenguo Mansion was implicated.

The Jinluan Palace is full of important ministers of the country, but they are all people who see the wind and make the rudder, and the only person who dares to act is a five-year-old young son, which is really ironic. But Xiu'er's innocence also moved him very much, and he couldn't help but shed tears in the Golden Palace, kneeling down to ask the first emperor for mercy.

The first emperor was old, the prince was vying for the crown, and the party struggle between the DPRK and China was fierce and difficult to settle. The Yuan family lost power at this time, the battle for the phase will rise, and if the court situation continues to be chaotic, there is a fear of forcing the palace. The first emperor was old but not confused, not only pardoned Xiu'er when the palace, but also reprimanded Yuan Xiangguo and civil and military officials.

The first emperor said: "It is the nature of the young son to be playful, and the golden palace beheads a young child with a heavy sword and spreads it to the people, and the people still don't scold the tyrant?" This kind of insulting style of the imperial court, there is a loss of the mind of the Son of Heaven, and the loss of Qing and others can make trouble in the Jinluan Palace! ”

Long Yan was furious, and he almost pointed his nose and scolded the hundred officials - you don't have a face, I still have a face!

The Manchu Dynasty civil and military knelt in a hall, the three princes and the party did not dare to say anything, Yuan Xiangguo thanked and asked for guilt, a farce ended, the first emperor was about to retreat from the dynasty, and Yuan Xiangguo actually had another thing to play.

Yuan Xiangguo knelt on the ground to serve the sword, and when the palace asked for sin, he wept bitterly and was very remorseful. Called the ancestors' legacy, teaching the descendants to cultivate themselves first, and then the style of the court, but he neglected to teach the young son, failed to fulfill the responsibility of the father, and tied the young son into the palace because of anger, which caused the first emperor to be in an unkind place, and Tian was the head of a hundred officials. This national sword is no longer worthy of being enshrined in the Yuan family, and I implore you to return it to the first emperor and find another national soldier.

Since the founding of the country, the founding surnames have all declined, but the Yuan family has not been destroyed after ups and downs, even in those years of leisure, it has not been implicated in the annihilation, which is the reason for holding the national sword. Handing over the sword holding the national treasure is tantamount to handing over the Danshu iron coupon, and from then on, the Yuan family has no more talismans. But because of the matter of Yuan Guifei's mother and son, the Yuan family once again fell into a situation of walking on thin ice in the court, and Yuan Xiangguo's move was also a fight, intending to retreat into advance, and put it to death and survive.

Since ancient times, there is no emperor who does not regain historical fame, the Yuan family has gone through ups and downs, and several generations of kings have failed to remove it from the court.

The first emperor received the national treasure sword dragon heart Dayue, and in the next two years, the Yuan family bowed their heads in the court, and they were unable to fight for power after losing the Nine Emperor Princes, and the defeat of the court was fully revealed.

But no one thought that on the first night of that year, the subject country Nantu sent an envoy to worship the New Year, and when the palace banquet was held, the golden palace sang and danced to the level, and the first emperor ordered the palace people to take out the national sword and pass it to the Nantu envoys, which was intended to be deterred by Yang Wei, who knew that the Nantu envoys saw the ancient and old sheath of the national sword, and they suspected that the sword was blunt, and it was difficult to have the power of the year. The first emperor was displeased, and the three princes had the best swordsmanship among the princes, so the first emperor pointed to the three princes to dance the sword in the palace to deter his subordinates.

The three princes were overjoyed, and the officials were secretly taken aback, and they were busy guessing the holy will.

That night, in order to show the edge of the sword, the palace withdrew two palace lights, the bells and drums sounded, the sword out of the sheath, its glow such as the golden crow rose at the beginning of the horizon, the bright light line forced the hundred officials to hold their breath and empty eyes, the ten styles of autumn Ming swordsmanship, led to the night breeze slowly into the palace, the sword light made the palace give birth to a sparkling golden wave, the nine pillars of the dragon such as the heavenly palace, a style of flat sand and wild goose dance, the three princes collected the sword, the Nantu ministers were still stunned, as if they were still trapped in the golden fairyland, the three princes and a party were fully revealed, when the palace praised its swordsmanship to promote the prestige of our country, the hundred officials hindered the presence of the envoys of the subject country, had to endure the heart of party contention and echoed it one after another. After some concurrence, the third prince returned the sword, but he didn't see the chamberlain to get it for a long time.

The first emperor did not speak, the faces of the three princes and one party gradually changed from joy to surprise, the hundred officials were guessing the king's heart, the three princes and the party had knelt in the hall in fear, and the hundred officials also knelt on the ground, waiting for Long Wei.

The breeze rests slowly, the sound of silk and bamboo stops, and the hall is so quiet that the needle can be heard.

After a while, I didn't wait for the emperor's voice, but I heard the third prince call softly, "Father? ”

The hundred officials did not dare to calm down, until they still did not hear the emperor's voice, then they became suspicious, and looked at the throne with the three princes.

I saw that the dragon pillar is still reflected in the sparkling golden waves, the scene of the golden gate is still there, the first emperor is sitting on the throne, the colorful crown, the nine dragons cloud robe, the eyebrows are charitable, the face is soothing, and the look up is like seeing the emperor of heaven. Behind the throne, the palace people stood solemnly, quiet like dolls.

“…… Father? The three princes called lightly again, the first emperor still sat still and did not speak, the three princes' faces changed, and they got up first!

At this time, the imperial guards on both sides of the palace had rushed to the throne, and the chief of the imperial guard called three times in front of the throne, and probed into the nose of the emperor, and was suddenly shocked, and knelt down!

This kneeling, as if kneeling to split the mountains and rivers, sounded the first death knell of the first emperor's death.

The death of the first emperor was mysterious, and when the hundred officials were still shocked and panicked, Yuan Xiangguo shouted, "Take down the assassin!" ”

The Praetorian Guards broke into the palace in armor and swords, and the three princes were still holding the national treasure sword in their hands, and they were surrounded by the Imperial Forest Army before they could figure out the reason. Before the three princes danced the sword, two palace lamps were removed from the palace, and after the three princes danced the sword, the first emperor died. Although there was no sword wound on the first emperor's body, no one could say anything about the poisonous incense of the hidden weapon, and the three princes were speechless, perhaps knowing that someone was going to trap him in the place of no return to kill his father and the king, so he actually raised his sword and slashed the royal forest guard and rushed out of the main hall!

This escape, in the eyes of the imperial guards and the royal forest army, is tantamount to fleeing in fear of crime, and the guard grows up and shouts, "Where is Your Highness!" Immediately led the masters of the imperial guard to carry their swords and swept out, the royal forest army heard the sound, and the three princes were surrounded by layers on Qianhua Square, outnumbered, and were stabbed to death in Qianhua Square by the sword.

In retrospect, the first emperor died violently, there was no prince in the court, the prince was the greatest, and the three princes were suspected of assassination, without the will of the first emperor, even the imperial forest army that was only loyal to the first emperor should not stab the prince to death on their own initiative, and just take it. But at that time, there may have been people who were bought in the Royal Forest Army, and they took advantage of the chaos to take advantage of the sword, and the blood of the three princes splashed the palace steps, and the bloody wind poured into the Golden Palace, which shocked the three princes and their party.

The Seven Princes and the Third Princes were the same party, and when they saw the guards coming back with blood swords, they were so shocked that they retreated again and again, and they were caught by knives before they took a few steps back, and the rest of the same party in the palace were all tied up.

Yuan Xiangguo held the national treasure sword in his hand, and on the grounds that Emperor Gaozu had a will, and the descendants of the Yuan family could hold the sword and admonish, he said that the anti-party must be prepared in advance, and the news of the death of the first emperor must not be spread out of the palace, so as not to get the news without scruples and raise troops to seize the palace. Today's plan should first close the palace door and ban the hundred officials in the palace, in case there is a rebel party to pass the news out of the palace, and then summon the generals of the three armies to enter the palace with the first emperor's oral decree. All in all, it is necessary to keep all the generals who hold military power in the palace, so as to protect the generals who have no leaders outside the palace tonight, and to keep Shengjing City from military chaos. Only by spending tonight peacefully can we keep our family and country in chaos, keep the court, and set up a new monarch!

Although the Yuan family has returned the national sword, but the ancestors of the Yuan family had assisted the ancestors to seek the great cause of the country, when the old Guogong was free, he was invited back to the court by the first emperor three times, the rebellion of King Pingrong, the throne of the first emperor, although the first emperor was suspicious of the Yuan family, but recalling the old things in history, every time the court situation was in danger, the meritorious generals who offered advice to quell the chaos and assisted the king have the figure of the Yuan family.

And tonight, the first emperor died violently, there is no prince in the court, there is no owner in the harem, the danger of the court is imminent, these years even by the nine emperors died young, the Yuan Guifei is secluded, the first emperor is suspicious, and the hundred officials are squeezed out of the Xiangguo, but tonight it is in danger and bears a heavy responsibility, and the act of holding the sword at the sky makes people feel loyal and righteous, and can't help but admire.

The chief of the imperial guard Chong Yuan Xiangguo hugged his fists and ordered the Imperial Forest Army to surround the main hall, and all the disobedient officials were taken down!

Subsequently, the imperial guards invited Shang Fang's sword out of the palace to pass the decree, and the generals of the three armies knew that there must be a big event in the palace when they saw Shang Fang's sword, but when they saw the sword, they did not dare not enter the palace.

However, it is easy to enter the palace and difficult to leave the palace, and the chief of the imperial guard never expected that when he brought people back to the Golden Palace, the door of the palace was just closed, and what was waiting for him was a scene of poisonous incense. The guards fell, and one of the Nantu subordinates who had been watching the palace change got up with a smile and said amazingly, "I really didn't expect it to go so smoothly tonight." ”

The climate of Nantu is humid and hot, there are many lofty mountains and mountains in the country, many poisons and strange flowers in the mountains, and the elixirs and five Gu strange poisons in the world are all out of Nantu.

The first emperor was not killed by the three princes, and the hundred officials understood that they were all paralyzed in the palace with strange poison, and watched the Nantu subordinates come to the front of the imperial guard, cut the throat of the person, and peeled his face on the spot, but in half an hour, when the door of the golden palace was opened again, the "imperial guard chief" went out of the palace again with the sword of Shang Fang and the dragon guard talisman in his hand, this time it was the gate of Shengjing City, and it was the Xiao cavalry army led by General Hua Lao, who was the general of the Xiao cavalry battalion, and the Nantu royal court guard temporarily stationed outside the city.

That night, the war horse broke through the palace gate, the east five gates were washed in blood three times, the Qianhua Square was full of corpses of the Imperial Forest Army and the Praetorian Guard, the Yuan Party ordered the Xiao cavalry army to enter the palace to sweep away the chaotic party on the grounds that the three princes were plotting rebellion and the chaotic party seized the palace, and the Nantu Wang Court Guards rushed to the aid of the Xiao cavalry army on the grounds of entering the palace to rescue the envoys.

That night, the door of the Golden Temple was open all night, and the hundred officials watched the tragic scene of the corpses of horses on the Qianhua Square, smelling the disgusting fishy wind, when the sky was bright, the white morning glow shone into the east gate, and the scene of the stumps and flesh everywhere made the hall diffuse with a strong stench.

There was no persuasion, no coercion, just such a night, the hundred officials have been silent since then, and the court has been surnamed Yuan since then.

After that day, Shengjing fell into the hands of the Yuan family, and there were great movements in the three armies, the old general Xiao of the Yidong army was assassinated by the deputy general in the mansion, Marshal Xiao died at sea, and there were accidents in the northwest and Lingbei.

The matter of seizing the palace, the Yuan family is obviously well prepared, but when exactly did they start to prepare, maybe after the death of the Nine Emperor Princes, or maybe in the idle time of the three generations.

The Yuan family, the only one of the founding families surnamed Hao in Daxing that has survived to this day, after several ups and downs, after handing over the national treasure sword for the protection of the son-in-law, and showing the defeat today, finally let people see the blade sharpened in the ups and downs of fame, and the deep foundation buried in the years with the country.

Recalling that night, the first emperor was on the throne, his face was kind, and he was still the same as when he was alive, the eyes staring at the hundred officials and the outside of the palace, and the stagnant silence in the eyes, made people still feel cold in their backs when they think of it.

And tonight, just like the night 20 years ago, the country has not changed, the monarchs and ministers have changed, the emperor is not seen on the throne, and the one standing with the sword has been replaced by the childish son of the year.

Zhenguo Gong raised his head, looked at the hanging palace beams, smelled the fishy wind outside the hall, and only felt that the twenty-year court affairs were like a dream, and he didn't feel a long sigh. If he had been told to look at the present from afar, he would never have expected that the childish son of the past would stand here tonight.

However, this may be the fate of the Bu Yuan family......

"I've heard that Yan'er was robbed out of the city." Zhenguo Gong has already experienced a palace change, has seen the virtues of hundreds of officials, and knows that no one dares to speak first, only he spoke first.

"The student will definitely rescue Ji Yan, please rest assured." Yuan Xiu heard the voice of Zhen Guogong, and there was a faint light in his eyes that were as deep as a secluded pool, and he finally looked like a living person.

When Zhenguo Gong heard that he was willing to call him a mentor at this time, he couldn't help but think of the situation when the five-year-old child knelt in front of the emperor to intercede for him in this palace, and remembered the days when he carefully taught the child's martial arts in the Guogong Mansion in those years. Over the years, he knew that it was difficult to resist the momentum of the Yuan family, and in order to protect the bloodline of the Ji family, and he did not want to cause trouble to the dynasty, he deliberately faded out of the court and said goodbye to the old man early. If it weren't for the fact that he was Xiu'er's enlightenment teacher, the life of the Zhenguo Mansion would never have been so easy. Now that the Empress Dowager is gone, the Yuan family is almost wiped out in one day, and seeing the child with a smile like the scorching sun in the past become like this, he finally couldn't bear it, and entered the palace with the hundred officials.

This...... Xu is also his fate.

The old man sighed again, waved his hand, and said, "The old man has heard that Emperor Liao also robbed the governor of Yingrui out of the city, where is the emperor now?" Is there a military newspaper? ”

Ying Rui Du Du turned out to be a woman, and he didn't expect that although the saint had already established himself in front of the army, he knew that the young man in the capital was a daughter, so he could naturally see Xiu'er's thoughts. In this case, let's call her the governor, so as not to sting Xiu'er.

With the heart of Xiu'er, the emperor wants to stop, his sweetheart wants to find, and he also wants to save the grandson of the teacher and his maternal grandfather, and now the city is in chaos, if you want to take care of it, you have to read the military report and then deploy.

But before Yuan Xiu could answer the military report, there was a sudden pop among the hundred officials!

Zhenguo Gong turned around, saw the hundred officials scattered, and saw a military attache kneeling on the ground, trembling, "Xiaguan Xiao cavalry battalion leader Yao Shijiang, the family is unfortunate, the evil girl has corrupted the door style, I heard that I have been captured by the Hou Ye, and I have the courage to ask the Hou Ye to allow the lower officials to bring the evil girl back for disposal, with the main gate wind!" ”

Yao Shijiang was ashamed to die, he had high hopes for the evil girl, expecting her to enter the Hou Mansion as a concubine, and enter the palace as a concubine in the future, the Fuyin family, but I didn't expect her to be so unsuccessful, the sedan chair entered the Hou Mansion, and was expelled from the Hou Mansion again! This incident has made him lose face in front of his colleagues, and the evil girl dared to promise a marriage without asking her father and brother's wishes, and entered the governor's mansion without knowing anything! This matter affected the reputation of several of her sisters, the marriage that was originally negotiated was all withdrawn by the official media, the wives and concubines at home cried and cried all day long, and colleagues in the army also pointed fingers behind his back, he was angry and expelled the daughter from Yao's mansion, but he didn't expect her to dare to mourn her biological mother again, and also connived at the mother-in-law in the governor's mansion at the city gate to scold him as a father, causing him to become the talk of the people in the city after tea and dinner, and became a laughing stock among colleagues!

He hated to kill the wicked girl to relieve the hatred in his heart, but he didn't know that something even more unexpected was yet to come—the Governor of Wise was a woman!

Everyone in Shengjing City knew that his Yao Shijiang's daughter married into the Governor's Mansion, but Yingrui Governor was actually his daughter, and after he was set up by the Holy Lord in front of the army, he simply became the biggest joke in the world!

A woman marrying a woman as a wife is simply ridiculous! What could be more absurd than this? I don't know what iniquity he did in his last life, that he should suffer this shame because of that wicked girl!

Today, the governor of Yingrui was robbed by Emperor Liao, and the saint also abandoned the city, but fortunately, the wicked girl was captured by the guards and failed to escape from the city, otherwise...... If the DPRK and China were as clean as they were 20 years ago, it would be difficult to ensure that the Yao family would be in no trouble!

Instead of worrying all day long, it is better for him to ask himself to end the evil girl first, but he doesn't know if he can get his wish.

Yao Shijiang was ashamed to raise his head, the gaze of the hundred officials made him feel like a thorn in his back, and what made him feel even more frightened was a condescending gaze from above, which fell on the back of the person, as heavy as the heavy iron of the mountain, so that the back of the person bent over, and he couldn't even breathe. He couldn't help but lower his stomach a little more, the tip of his nose was pasted with the cold palace bricks, smelling the bloody smell on the boots of the hundred officials, and even the sound of the wind blowing into the hall felt like a cry of a ghost in his ears.

"I just received a military report that the army of the King of Daliao has entered Yuezhou, and Hu Yanhao and she are not among them." Yuan Xiudao.

Yao Shijiang stiffened, and suddenly felt that his face was hot, as if he had been slapped by someone. He originally thought that Yuan Xiu would either agree or not, but he didn't expect him to be noncommittal, and directly return to Zhenguogong's words, and didn't even pay attention to him.

“…… Abandoned son. Zhenguo Gong frowned, Emperor Liao wanted to take Yingrui out of the pass, there must be many obstacles along the way, there were many Wang soldiers, it was impossible to escape the pursuit of soldiers and horses along the road, abandoned Wang Jun, and took a few people and horses to disguise themselves to the outside of the pass is the smart way. It's just that even Wang Jun abandoned it, which is really worthy of Emperor Liao's style.

"Don't give up." Yuan Xiu said suddenly.

"Huh?"

"He abandons, I don't abandon." Yuan Xiu's words were quite meaningful, and he glanced at the kneeling people at the entrance of the hall lightly, and said coldly, "Yao Shenling will go out of the city tonight with Benhou's military order, and urgently send an order to Yuezhou for eight hundred miles, stop the army of the Great Liao King, and not let it gallop out of Yuezhou." ”

Yao Shijiang raised his head suddenly, his face full of disbelief.

"Ben Hou has a sentence for you to pass on - Ben Hou invites the Da Liao Wang Army to live in the Yuezhou Post House for a few days, and there is no shortage of food and clothing. Those who live with peace of mind can go back to reunite with their parents, wives and children outside the customs in the future. Yuan Xiu stared at Yao Shijiang, the golden spots on the scabbard of the sword were reflected in the bottom of his eyes, and it seemed that the bottomless black water was surging, and it could wipe people out in an instant, "If the Liao army goes out of Yuezhou, or if there is any chaos in Yuezhou, only your Yao family is full of questions!" ”

Yao Shijiang suddenly woke up, his eyes burst out with a brilliance of surprise, and he thanked him repeatedly, "The next official takes the order!" The lower officials will live up to the trust of the Hou Ye! ”

Baiguan watched Yao Shijiang get up and exit the hall, and there were many people who were envious, I don't know which gust of wind blew on Yao Shijiang's head tonight, and it made him use it so much.

Zhenguo Gong glanced at Yuan Xiu, and he didn't ask about court affairs for many years, but his eyes were still bright. At present, Shengjing is in turmoil, and it is difficult to guarantee that all parties will not take the opportunity to disturb the situation, the king of Jin and the party of Qian Gongzi once had a hall in Qingzhou, and the Hu people have also been active in Qingzhou, and the saint should also have a hidden pile in Qingzhou. Now although the saint has abandoned half of the country, the people of Qingzhou may not have withdrawn, and the party of the King of Jin has not yet been purged, the situation in Qingzhou is very complicated, if the Liao army enters Qingzhou, it will be difficult to control Shengjing. Yuezhou is close to Shengjing, and there is no mix of fish and dragons like Qingzhou, and the Liao army is much easier to control in Yuezhou.

But even so, it is not impossible to make trouble, so who is the most suitable person to do this errand?

Yao Shijiang sold his daughter to seek glory, and he must have the heart to seek a high position, but he tried his best to end up humiliated. Just when you are in the mire, you suddenly have to reuse, how can you not use all your strength? When he arrives in Yuezhou, he will never be bribed by the state officials and people from all walks of life, and he will be dedicated to doing errands, in order to be humiliated before the snow and be promoted in the future.

Zhen Guogong had mixed feelings in his heart, Xiu'er was reluctant to pay attention to the court affairs before, but now he uses people, but he has the essence of the way of royal people. And this kid's mind is so deep that even he can't fathom it, he can only see his true intention of using Yao Shijiang, but he can't figure out what his intention is to leave the Liao army.

According to his style when he was on the border, where can the Liao army live?

Alas!

Zhen Guogong didn't know how many times he sighed tonight, and as soon as the sigh fell, he only heard the sound of hurried footsteps coming from the palace, and when he looked up, he saw two middle-aged generals wearing armor and entering the palace.

The person who came was none other than Yuan Xiu's two uncles.

"Xiu'er, the coffin is ready and parked in the mourning hall of the Prime Minister's Mansion." When the two entered the temple, their faces were gloomy.

Yuan Xiu seemed to have been numb, standing on the top of the imperial steps and not moving, Hua Tingwu, the second son of the Hua family, his face sank after seeing it, and he was just about to open his mouth when he was pressed by his brother Hua Tingwen.

"Xiu'er, the family revenge must be avenged, but your grandfather is still in the hands of the saint, you must not save it, otherwise your mother's spirit in the sky will not be at peace." Hua Tingwen's implication is that it is important to save people at this time, and there is no need to rush to the mourning hall.

Hua Tingwu's face was ugly, and he glanced at his brother, and his anger was in his eyes. Why do you have to say it so gently? If it weren't for this evil obstacle, why would the Yuanhua family end up like today? This evil obstacle caused my grandfather to be tied out of the city, my father died tragically in the city, my mother was in a different place, and my sister fell from the tower...... Do you want to give him a good face?

Hua Tingwen shook his head, secretly glared, and forced him to endure his anger and not say more. The saint has abandoned half of the country and left, who will be the lord of this half of the country in Jiangbei in the future, do you need to ask more? Xiu'er has been on the border for ten years, deeply loved by the people of Jiangbei, and has 300,000 wolf divisions in the northwest to be loyal, except for him, no one can sit firmly in this half of the country! Today they are the longest, tomorrow they may be ministers, in front of the hundred officials above the golden palace, there are some things that can no longer be said! Looking at Xiu'er's deep state, he can't see that he has suffered this change, and his temperament is very different from before?

"I just received a military report that Emperor Yuanlong went south, and when he calculates the time, he should go out of the city for more than 30 miles, and he is very close to the Jiangbei Navy Battalion." Yuan Xiu didn't seem to see the lawsuit between the two uncles, he looked out of the hall, his eyes were gloomy, and his words were slow and cold.

"Then why don't you send someone to fly pigeons to spread the news to the Northwest Army to garrison the camp and order the army to stop the holy car? I will lead Long Wuwei out of the city to chase, there is the Northwest Army in front, Long Wuwei in the back, and there is the Xiao Cavalry Battalion, I don't believe that I can't stop the holy car! Hua Tingwu ignored his brother's obstruction, and hurriedly offered advice, which meant that Yuan Xiu was slow to send troops.

Yuan Xiu's eyebrows were pressing, like black clouds pressing down on the city, and the wind and rain were coming, "What can you do if you stop it?" Does the cavalry battalion dare to ignore Ji Yan's life, or does his uncle dare to ignore his grandfather's life? Uncle don't forget, who was greedy for the pension silver of the Northwest Army, and who found out, Emperor Yuanlong is good at winning people's hearts, and there is a think tank military division in the Jiangbei Navy Army, and the soldiers of the Northwest Army are all bloody sons, and they must make way for the saint to drive south. As for the uncle......"

Yuan Xiu sneered, "I'm afraid that my uncle will lead the troops away and return with his body!" ”

Hua Tingwu was taken aback, and then remembered that although the matter of the pension was the intention of Yuan Xiangguo, the Hua Yuan family was one, and the Hua family knew about it from beginning to end, and they were greedy for a lot of benefits.

"So, what do you do?"

"My grandfather was very useful to the south, and he didn't have to worry about his life. Emperor Yuanlong led the people south, the army could not go fast, the march was quite long, I have my own long-term plan, not to work for the two uncles. At present, the fire is burning the city, the people are panicked, and the hidden piles of Emperor Yuanlong and the Jin King and his party in the city may not all be removed, and it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no chaotic party taking advantage of the chaos in the city to make trouble. The two uncles might as well lead Long Wuwei to repair the city gate, rebuild the official residence, maintain order in the city, and good morning the overall situation of the imperial court. ”

This statement is reasonable, but Hua Tingwu is still dissatisfied with Yuan Xiu's refusal to speak directly about what is a good plan, and just about to ask, he was secretly suppressed by his brother.

"Okay, you have been on the border for ten years, and your uncles are not as good as you in terms of the strategy of using troops, so everything will be at your disposal." Hua Tingwen's tone was gentle, and after he should go, he hugged his fists and retreated, "Now that there is chaos in the city, we should stabilize the situation in the city first, without further ado, let's go!" ”

Hua Tingwen said, and without saying anything, he dragged his brother out of the hall.

It wasn't until the figures of the two of them disappeared into the night that they couldn't even hear the sound of footsteps, that Yuan Xiu withdrew his gaze, glanced at the hundred officials in the hall lightly, and showed a slight fatigue between his eyebrows, "Go ahead!" Helping Long Wuwei extinguish the city fire, and rebuild their official residences, the Shengjing Mansion and the Five Cities Patrol Division need to appease the people, and report anything to the palace at any time. For three days, each reported the reconstruction. ”

The hundred officials responded one after another, and unlike the panic when they entered the hall, they looked much calmer when they exited the main hall.

Summoned hundreds of officials in the middle of the night, but did not say a word of appeasement, only asked the hundred officials to listen to an orderly deployment, and then appeased the hundred officials. This decisive style, the ability of the royal family to make good use of, if it is willing to be used in court affairs, perhaps the prosperous country is a different scene today.

Zhenguo Gong sighed a few times tonight, and all the officials retired, but he was the only one who remained in the main hall.

Yuan Xiu walked down the steps, and only then did he salute his teacher, and said: "It's getting late, the student sends the teacher back to the house to rest, don't worry about Ji Yan's affairs, leave everything to the students." ”

"The old man believes you, you just have to give it a go." The town is fair.

“…… Thank you for your trust! Yuan Xiu gave another salute, as respectful as before, but much more solemn.

Zhen Guogong waved his hand, "The old man is old, but the name of Zhen Guogong was also exchanged for his military exploits on the battlefield back then, and there are still some old ministers who remember the old man." If you need help, don't mention it, and take it by yourself. ”

Yuan Xiu didn't get up, but said: "The teacher is here, so he is helping the students." ”

Seeing that he was still stubborn, Zhenguo Gong was both angry and distressed, and wanted to admonish a few words, but found that Yuan Xiujiu refused to raise his head, and after a closer look, he found that his face was frosty and white, and he couldn't help asking: "Are you injured internally?" ”

Since entering the hall, he has been standing on a high place, the golden jade pearl, the treasure is shining, and his face is still a little bright, which Cheng thinks that he is actually strong!

"Have you summoned the Imperial Doctor?"

"There is still one thing that the students have not arranged......"

"Nonsense!" Zhenguo Gong reprimanded, swept the hall, and shouted to Meng San, "Don't you go to the imperial doctor?" ”

Meng San breathed a long sigh of relief, gratefully hugged his fists at Zhen Guogong, and withdrew from the palace to pass the imperial doctor.

The hall was quiet, and when the prince of Zhenguo saw that Yuan Xiu was silent, he knew that he had a stubborn temper, and he might as well go back to the house earlier, let him arrange things properly, and let the imperial doctor diagnose and treat him as soon as possible.

When Zhen Guogong left, he didn't let anyone send it, he only waved his hand, and when he left the palace, he said as if it was true or false: "After the imperial doctor has finished diagnosing the pulse, let him go to the Guogong Mansion to return to the old man, if you don't want to listen to the imperial doctor well, the old man will repair a letter to the old man Gu in the northwest, and in the future, the old man will discipline you, and the old man will not care!" ”

Yuan Xiu looked at the back of the old man leaving, and his expression was in a trance for a while, as if he remembered the northwest. He has two mentors in his life, one is the enlightenment mentor Zhen Guogong, and the other is the old general Gu Lao in the northwest, the two have no intersection, after he became a famous general in the world, the two often exchanged letters, arguing about whose student he was. This tongue-wrenching letter went back and forth for several years, year after year, until his teacher returned to the court......

Tonight, I thought of too many things in the northwest, but this incident added a faint smile to the man's face, "The student listens to the teacher, and asks the teacher not to repair the book to the old general, the student has really been unable to stand the military stick recently." ”

Zhen Guogong's footsteps did not stop, he walked down the stairs all the way, his figure was far away, and he scolded and muttered, "This old man Gu knows how to make a military stick!" Return to the DPRK another day......"

Another day, the country has changed, and no one in the world will dare to punish him with a military stick.

The old man's voice dispersed with the wind, the towering golden palace, the palace gate was nine-fold, and the man stood quietly on the high place of the temple in a gorgeous coat, and it was difficult to look at the northwest of the sunset pass mountain.

The night wind rose, blowing a piece of sleeves, and some people were still waiting outside the temple.

That person was the young general of the Praetorian Guard who was summoned into the palace by Yuan Xiu together.

Yuan Xiu glanced at the sleeve, turned around and went back to the hall, and when the voice came out of the hall, it was already indifferent and low, and he was no longer bright, "Come into the hall." ”

When the young general entered the Golden Palace, he saw Yuan Xiu standing with his sword against the door of the palace, his back was straight, and people couldn't help but look up.

"Surname." Yuan Xiu asked.

"The last general, Shen Mingqi." The young general knelt down respectfully and replied.

Yuan Xiu looked back when he heard this, "What kind of in-laws do you have with the Marquis of Anping?" ”

The name of the prince of Anping Hou is Shen Mingtai.

The young general smiled, sneering, "Back to the Hou Ye, the outer room is nameless and pointless, and the last general does not dare to climb the Anping Hou Mansion, but he is just leading a meager salary in the Praetorian Guard to support his grandmother and mother, and live an ordinary life." ”

The past has not been said much, the life experience is already clear, Yuan Xiu looked at Shen Mingqi's demeanor in his eyes, and said lightly: "Ben Hou has something to do with you, if you can do it well, you don't have to recognize your ancestors and return to your ancestors in the future, you can set up your own door, and it is not impossible for your grandmother and mother to be killed." ”

When Shen Mingqi heard this, he raised his head suddenly, his eyes burst out with fanatical surprise, and then he bowed his head and said: "But with the dispatch of the Hou Ye, the last general will never give up!" ”

"Come here with your ears."

Shen Mingqi was stunned for a moment, got up and approached.

The palace lights are brilliant, the two of them hug each other, the night pearl embedded in the handrail of the imperial staircase is dazzling, and Shen Mingqi's pupils are shrunk, and his eyes are shocked.

Yuan Xiu said lightly: "You are allowed to act cheaply." ”

Shen Mingqi hurriedly gathered his mind and knelt down to receive the order, "The last general will keep it in mind, and he will live up to the trust of the Hou Ye!" ”

Yuan Xiu raised his hand with an indifferent expression, but Shen Mingqi retreated and went on an errand.

Yuan Xiu's back was to the temple gate, the spring cold was difficult to penetrate his clothes, and the man stood with his sword in a posture like a mountain stone.

A gust of south wind enters the temple, bringing blood and smoke, the lights and shadows are leisurely, sweeping back and forth like a marquee, shaking like a cloud forest, empty and secluded like a big dream, a dream of the border, a dream of the capital.

Yuan Xiu held on to the palace railing, stabilized his crumbling body, and looked back at the south outside the hall. The southern sky is red, the beacon smoke is long, and the mountains and rivers outside the city are difficult to reach, so the sound of the people is unpleasant.

He seemed to feel something, and suddenly felt that his heart hurt like a cone thorn, a mouthful of fishy sweetness splashed on the palace bricks, the heaven and the earth were reversed, the temple beams were as high as the clouds, and the clouds were far away, far away from the reach.

A Qing ......

*

"Slow!"

Thirty miles away, a sharp cry broke through the long night.

Hu Yanhao hurried out of the house, his eyes were bloodshot, and his steps were like the wind! The green bricks in front of the house were torn apart, and he was sweeping into the air of the south wall, three feet away, a few steps away, but it became the most difficult distance to reach in this life.

She was too resolute to leave herself a point of life or room for remorse.

However, he finally repented, and the taste of remorse was heart-wrenching, and his anxiety turned into a thought-slow! Slow!

However, everything in the world is slow, but her knife is not slow.

The blood flowed out along the blade, blown down by the spring breeze blowing on the wall, and fell into the spring soil under the wall of the old courtyard, but it splashed in people's hearts, and I don't know who hurt.

Hu Yanhao's breath was chaotic, and he fell from mid-air, this fall, he thought he was going to fall into the abyss that could never be recovered, and witnessed Twilight Qing spilling blood from the wall and falling. However, when he landed and looked up, he saw a leaf falling.

A leaf is lighter, lighter than a feather, a leaf is tough, but tough over the spring breeze. The new leaf fell against the wind, landing three inches on the girl's wrist, and when it fell, it was as light as a little water, but it contained the power of thunder!

Twilight's arm was numb, the knife slipped out of her palm, and a line of cold light fell with blood, she opened her eyes suddenly, but instead of looking at the knife, she turned her head to look north.

Leaning on an old tree with a crooked neck behind the south wall, the old branch probed the wall into the hospital, she saw a tree spring yellow, full of stars, two sleeves red in the air, bringing blood and smoke.

In the middle of the night, there was no spring mountain, but the mountain was piled up with firelight, and the sound of iron hooves broke through the front of the village, waking up the old village.

Hu Yanhao looked out of the village, his eyes were shocked, and in a trance, a word he heard in Yizhuang half of the night ago sounded in his ears - you and he both have the ambition of the emperor, he can't give it to me, and you can't give it to me. And what he gave me, no one could give me.

Hu Yanhao's eyes were cold, and he swept towards the wall, reaching out to grab Twilight!

But at this moment, the dog barked and the rooster crowed, the lamp and candle were lit, the wind passed through the ears, and a few words of bickering gossip came.

"Tsk! Why are you so embarrassed? Every time he is assassinated, he can make such a mess of himself, and he can be considered a genius. ”

"Say less, you won't die!"

"Hey! Captain Yue sounds harsh, doesn't he? That's right, every time she is assassinated, you are not there, this captain of the guard deserves it, and it is enough to be derelict in his duties. ”

"Shut up!"

"I said ......"

"Kill! Or maybe I'll kill you first! ”

"You are seriously injured and have dragged down your feet, but it is better for the saint to arrive first, and you have no face to blame the master?"

Two figures swept past Twilight Qing and took Hu Yanhao's head!

Suddenly there was a sound of fighting in the courtyard, shouting nonsense, and women and children crying.

Twilight froze, still looking north, seeing the face of the person in the gorgeous robe, the spring cold dew wet his shoulders, his eyes were as deep as the sea, and the waves broke through the mountains and rivers.

"Joy ...... Steps"

This call, the voice is subtle, but it seems to have exhausted the rest of his life, and then the heaven and earth hung upside down, and Twilight's eyes were dark, and she stumbled and fell off the wall.

------Off topic------

At the end of last month, Yuan Bao was hospitalized, and he was sick again and again for more than 20 days, thank you Fuxi and Mengran Niu'er for the loquat ointment, I don't know the amount, I only fed a small mouthful, and it worked the next day, and it has been stored properly in the refrigerator.

Everyone waited for a long time, because I insisted on writing the content of the separation, so I saved it until now, and I broke it here, knowing that someone was going to beat me, so I got out and took refuge......
