Chapter 257: Ordered in Danger
"Your Majesty, Ling'er is not an ordinary woman, she is my wife, and she is pregnant with my child, that is the love of my life, even if she is a cow and a horse, she can't repay her kindness, if there is no him, what is the meaning of my life!" Yin Ruochen held back her grief and justified herself.
"However, she is dead, and it is not a way for you to go on like this, how can you get out?" Emperor Song Yu sighed, his face unbearable, but he raised his voice and asked.
Yin Ruochen clenched her fists, her cheeks were red due to the stimulation of alcohol, her eyes were red, and she gritted her teeth and said: "Your Majesty, it was Ling'er who gave me the talisman at the beginning, and successfully contained Emperor Song and Yuan to make everything go smoothly now, originally she didn't deserve to die, the damned person is me, why should she die, shouldn't let her die." ”
The more she spoke, the more excited Yin Ruochen became, slammed her fist on the Taishi chair, her face twisted with pain, and her voice choked.
Emperor Song Yu was silent, and after a long time, he said sadly: "Ruochen, people have to look forward, the dead have passed away, let's mourn and change, people, you can't be immersed in the past and can't get out, after all, you are a man who has to know the heavy responsibilities on your body." “
"Your Majesty, without Ling'er, all this doesn't matter to me, I'm not a good man at all, I can't even protect my wife and children, I live like this just to atone for my sins, and I won't marry another wife in this life except for Ling'er." Yin Ruochen said with a firm expression, his eyes were exposed, and his teeth were clenched.
"All this is so unfair to Ling'er, why, why is this happening?" Yin Ruochen held his head in his hands and roared in pain.
Emperor Song Yu closed his eyes, and his heart felt as uncomfortable as being burned!
Knowing that it can't change Yin Ruochen, he opened his eyes after a long time, patted his shoulder with his hand, and said earnestly: "Ruochen, forget the past, start over, don't live up to Aunt Rui's expectations for you, Uncle Huang needs you now, the Northern Netherworld needs you, help Uncle Huang, Ling'er is a good woman, this happened, Uncle Huang is also very sad, no one wants to be like this, but the vicissitudes of the world are helpless, we are all living people, and we still have a lot of burdens on our bodies, we can't get into our lives so selfishly, especially those of us royal children, The heavy responsibility on his shoulders is heavier than anyone else's, even if it is for the sake of the emperor's uncle, please put aside your personal grievances first. ”
Yin Ruochen sat slumped on the Taishi chair, drooping his head, and there was no squeak in the middle of the sound.
"Come on, put the wine and food up, I want to get drunk with the prince today." Emperor Song Yu shouted outside.
A sumptuous banquet was soon set up in the study.
This time is the first time since Prince Yin ascended the throne of the emperor, the uncle and nephew have drank, and the two of them have put aside their hearts and drank happily, heartily!
The rolling mountains are like a natural screen to divide the South Underworld and the North Underworld, the right side of the South Underworld is next to the Jin Kingdom, Lianshan is a unique military fortress, the Southern Hades King is by virtue of the unique geographical location of Lianshan, in the later years of the Song Shi Di, the Jiegan uprising was successful, and he established himself as the king, and built solid military equipment near the Lianshan, and annihilated the army of the Northern Underworld that wanted to regain the lost territory again and again.
The restoration of the great rivers and mountains of the Northern Underworld, once the heart disease of the Song Shi Di in his later years, is also the core of the inheritance of the throne, but the Song Zu Emperor was indecisive, when he was in power, the government was corrupt, and there was the Jin State to make trouble, and he was unable to do it, and when he got the Song and Yuan Emperors, he was even more mediocre and incompetent, and was repeatedly disturbed by foreign forces, and the people's hearts were unstable, of course, there was no way to say, since the Song Jade Emperor ascended the throne, the civil and military strategy, and was committed to the development of the economy, so in less than a few years, the Northern Underworld was thriving and becoming stronger.
The strength of the Northern Underworld has caused the panic of the Southern Underworld, the Southern Underworld is mostly minerals, lacks fertile land, and is not as good as the Northern Underworld in any way, but the gradually powerful Northern Underworld will not be willing to let the Southern Underworld survive, and will have to regain the lost land, and the current Song Jade Emperor is a rare wise monarch, how can he let the land be lost? Therefore, like ants on a hot pot, the king of the southern underworld and the border repeatedly tried to invade the northern underworld but were defeated, and the unrelenting Jin signed an alliance agreement and formed a brotherly state, intending to jointly fight against the northern underworld.
Emperor Song Yu was ambitious, both civil and military, keeping in mind the legacy of Emperor Song Zu, how could he let their treacherous plan succeed, he found Yin Ruochen, talked all night, let him stand up from the decadence of losing Hanling, gave him the key points, returned his military power, gave him elite soldiers, and entrusted this important task to him.
Yin Ruochen was ordered to be in danger, he lost confidence in life extremely, for the safety of the Northern Underworld, for the sake of the common people in the world, he had to raise his spirits and accept this rare task in a hundred years, he understood the painstaking efforts of Emperor Song Yu, who wanted to recover the Southern Underworld while eliminating strong enemies, and return the people of the Northern Underworld to an eternal peaceful home.
The next day after accepting the heavy responsibility, he held the military power, led 100,000 elite soldiers towards the mountain in a mighty way, Song Yudi personally bid farewell to Yin Ruochen dozens of miles, along the way to follow the good temptation, the uncle and nephew took care of each other, reluctantly, tears and goodbye, Yin Ruochen led the troops out of several miles, looked back and saw Song Yudi standing behind and waved at him from afar, immediately his heart was hot, he knew that he had a heavy responsibility, and he did not dare to be sloppy.
These 100,000 elite soldiers, almost the elite generals of the Northern Underworld, were all trained by Yin Ruochen himself before, brave and good at fighting, all the generals led by General Lan and General Li are only Yin Ruochen's horses, just waiting for Yin Ruochen's order, they must all fight bravely to kill the enemy, and swear to destroy the Southern Underworld and the gold thief, this move is enough to make the enemy frightened.
Yin Ruochen's soldiers and horses hurried on the road, all the way to the south, quietly marching, along the way heard all kinds of things about the Southern Underworld on the border for the troubled people, and even heard about the signing of a friendship agreement between the Southern Underworld and the Jin Kingdom to jointly build various defense facilities, Yin Ruochen just sneered slightly, and did not take it to heart.
As far as he is concerned, the golden thieves in the Land of Projectiles and the poor and backward Southern Underworld are just frightened birds, huddling together for warmth, and he doesn't need to take them to heart at all, vowing to annihilate them in one fell swoop.
After the soldiers and horses marched for more than ten days, they saw a patch of mountains in front of them from a distance, and there were many woodcutters nearby who were going up the mountain to collect firewood, and there were also many hunters hunting nearby, Yin Ruochen dismounted and took a look, the sky, it was still a cold winter, the hateful King of the Southern Hades and the gold thieves were aiming at this opportunity to make trouble, knowing that the soldiers of the Northern Hades were not cold-tolerant, how could they do it at this time to cause twice the result with half the effort.
Yin Ruochen got off the horse, looked around with his negative hand, and a very cold and disdainful smile tugged at the corner of his mouth.
Since he sent out his troops, the enemy has all been beaten by him and fled, how can a mere traitor help him, immediately chose a secret area nearby, and ordered to set up camp along the way, and after he settled down, dressed in civilian clothes, took Yang Lu to immediately go to the vicinity to inspect the terrain and visit the people!
Yin Ruochen took Yang Lu and rode a horse on a nearby mountain road for more than ten miles, and found that in addition to some desolate and almost uninhabited remote mountainous areas, there were still many local people living in the mountains at the foot of a mountain, although there were thieves from time to time, they still lived a stable life, quite surprised.
Stopping in front of a neat courtyard, the two jumped off their horses.
Yang Lu stepped forward and knocked lightly on the courtyard door.
After a while, the courtyard door opened, and an old woman poked her head out, squinting at them with blurred eyes.
"Auntie, we are passing by and want to ask you for some water to drink." Yang Lu politely clenched his fists and said loudly.
The old woman looked at them, did not open the courtyard door, but asked vigilantly, "Who are you?" ”
Yin Ruochen smiled slightly, stepped forward and said warmly: "Don't be afraid, this lady, we are just merchants from the Northern Underworld who are passing by here, and we want to come to this deep mountain to sell some rare mountain goods, and now we want to ask for some water to drink, and inquire about the situation." ”
After speaking, he nodded to Yang Lu, Yang Lu understood, and immediately took out a piece of silver from his body, handed it to the old woman with both hands, and said politely: "Auntie, my grandfather is rich, and he is not a bad person, he is a rare good person, and it is a blessing for your family to come here today, and this bit of silver is rewarded to you by the master."
When the old woman heard this, she looked at the white silver in front of her, her eyes shone brightly, she had rarely seen such a big bloom of silver in her life, and she hurriedly reached out and took the silver and put it in her mouth and bit it, real gold and silver, the color was ten percent full, and then she raised her eyes to look at Yin Ruochen, only to see that he was dressed luxuriously, with a long body and a jade body, and his air was lofty, and his gestures revealed a majesty, and his whole body was unspeakably expensive, knowing that he had met a noble person today, he hurriedly opened the courtyard door and let them in.
After inviting them to sit down in the courtyard, they immediately brought cool boiled water and brought out some mountain goods to entertain them.
"Auntie, how many people are there in your family?" Yin Ruochen looked at the courtyard and guessed that this old woman was not the only one who lived, so he asked with a pleasant face.
The old woman was busy for a while, sat down next to her, and chatted with Yin Ruochen.
"Guest officer, don't hide it, there are six people in my family, my son went up the mountain to collect firewood today, and his daughter-in-law is also from this nearby village, and today she returned to her parents' house with two grandchildren, and there is a daughter, who also followed her son up the mountain to collect firewood today." The old woman said with a smile.
Yin Ruochen smiled and nodded and said straightly: "The eldest lady is so blessed, the children and grandchildren are full." ”
The old woman smiled contentedly and replied, "Now that the saint is wise, our dawn people are having a better life, but it's just ......" When she said this, she stopped talking, her face full of worry.
"Auntie, do you still have any hidden worries?" Yin Ruochen didn't let go of the expression on her face, and asked with concern.
"Hey! The guest officer is from the Central Plains!" The old woman sighed and said: "The guest officer doesn't know, our Lianshan is leaning on the Southern Underworld, in recent years, there have been many people from the Southern Underworld through the Lianshan, disturbing us, there were originally many people in the vicinity of this radius, but they were annihilated to go away because they couldn't bear the chaos, and it was extremely deserted!" ”
Yang Lu was puzzled and asked, "Auntie, in this case, why are your family and the people nearby still living here, aren't you afraid?" ”
The old woman smiled when she heard this, clasped her hands together, and said reverently: "This, I want to thank the mountain god Niangniang." ”
"Mountain God Niangniang?" Yin Ruochen also heard strange and hurriedly asked, "Auntie, what's the matter with this thief god mother?" ”
