Chapter 108: Rivals Gather
The sky and the earth were yellow, and a line of white cranes slowly flew out of the darkened clouds. Although the city gate has fallen, the banner that rolls over the city is still towering into the sky, waving in the wind, showing the might of a southern empire.
Walking up to the city tower, Princess Yang Zhai stood in the center of the city wall, accompanied by the county officials.
She looked down at the crowd under the city gate and said, "If you dare to take a step forward, don't blame me for being ruthless, and the acquaintance will leave quickly...... Ah! Before she could finish speaking, a stone flew up and hit her right on the forehead.
Yang Zhai hurriedly covered his head, and blood had already been seen in his forehead, oozing out from the gap between his fingers. The maid pulled the silk scarf in a panic and covered her with it.
She gasped, frowned, and said, "I don't know whether to live or die." As he spoke, he turned his head and shouted to her left and right, "Bring me my bow and arrows." Half of his forehead was soaked with blood, and his whole face turned hideous.
The attendant went to the gunsai and fetched her usual bow and arrows.
Yang Zhai didn't say a word, held the bow in his hand, and took a pair of arrows to shoot downward. The county guard realized that he could no longer arouse the anger of the people, and tried hard to dissuade her from acting impulsively, otherwise once the situation became serious, it would be out of control.
Yang Zhai was angry, where could he still listen, pushed away the county official, and hurriedly stretched his bow and pulled the string.
A pair of arrows "swished" towards everyone, killing two people on the spot. The city suddenly exploded, and the enraged homeless people were in high spirits, and some men in the prime of life even seized weapons and had more fierce clashes with the officers and soldiers.
"Yang Zhai! You don't stop yet. Yuan Lingjun shouted, his eyes erupting with fire. As soon as she arrived here, she witnessed the process of the two of them being hit by arrows to death, and the culprit of this tragedy, Princess Yang Zhai, stood at the head of the city and watched coldly.
Yang Zhai's whole body couldn't help shaking, and his heart was so weak that he didn't dare to face Yuan Lingjun.
"Put down all your weapons."
Everyone was shocked by this cry of rage, and looked at the person who came in unison.
The maiden on the black horse walked calmly towards the city gate, and a few paces away she dismounted, and she walked without stopping, and there was not the slightest fear in her eyes.
The outcasts warily pointed their weapons at her, but did not dare to move. Yuan Lingjun passed through them as if he were unaware, and the crowd spontaneously moved out of the way to see her walk into the city. was actually shocked by the momentum she exuded all over her body, and the face that didn't show any expression made people shudder.
Yang Zhai wiped his forehead perfunctorily and hurried down to the city tower, and the county officials also followed behind and waited for orders.
"Yang Zhai, I think you have eaten the guts of an ambitious leopard, and you dare to make assertions without my consent, and you also kill people to vent your anger." Yuan Ling didn't look at Yang Zhai's face, and walked straight forward, his chest rising and falling because of anger.
"Where is the prince?"
The county guard walked quickly to her side.
"Set up camp outside the city to settle the people, immediately open a warehouse and release grain, and the top priority is to stabilize the situation for the time being."
"Huh!" Yang Zhai was weird, "The sixth sister went out to play, and when she came back, she yelled at people and opened a warehouse to release grain, and I didn't come up with any good ideas after thinking about it these days." ”
The status quo is already miserable, and Yang Zhai, as the princess of the Jin Kingdom, not only does not care about the suffering of the people, but also is full of selfish desire for revenge, which is so chilling. Yuan Lingjun felt uncomfortable in her heart, her teeth chattered with excitement, she turned around suddenly, stared straight at Princess Yang Zhai who didn't know what she meant, and said angrily: "Yang Zhai, don't mess with me." ”
Yang Zhai opened his mouth, unable to say anything.
Back at the house, Yuan Lingjun was full of thoughts about what had happened these days, and he was so angry that he couldn't eat, so he sat on the Yin mat dejectedly, and didn't move half a step until it was dark.
Soon after, a guard came to tell him that he had set up camp outside the city, and that the county guard was ready to wait for the relief of food. Yuan Lingjun nodded to indicate that she knew, thought about it for a while, and was about to wash up and sleep, when the county guard came to see her in person.
"The King." The county guard crouched on the opposite seat.
"What's the matter?" Yuan Lingjun pressed his thighs, his expression numb.
"Yes, the minister has come to ask the king, and the envoys of the vassal states have gone to Lin'an to meet His Majesty, passing by here, how should they be settled?"
The Jin Kingdom is in chaos, taking care of itself, which prince is so unconcerned, at this time the Hajj, there is no need to add to the chaos. Yuan Lingjun was discouraged: "You go and deal with it." This is a matter within the scope of the government's duties, and it is not necessary to tell Lonely. ”
"The King." The county guard interrupted Yuan Lingjun, a layer of sweat oozed from his head, and he hurriedly said, "The convoy of the envoy was attacked by bandits in Chang County, and most of the tribute presented to the imperial court was looted. There is no doubt about the urgency of this matter, and someone should be sent to recover it, but according to the current situation, the minister really does not dare to dispatch the government soldiers lightly...... "He looked like he was about to cry.
"Changjun is important, don't send it for the time being, if he blames it, even if it is pushed on Gu's body, right...... Who did you just say you were here to make? Yuan Lingjun asked suddenly.
The county guard raised his eyes and replied seriously: "It's the prince of Hailing." ”
Yuan Lingjun was stunned, and his fingers couldn't help but tremble.
"You are just a royal concubine and a sinister ......obstacle born to Wei Hou" What happened back then is vivid, and the incident provoked by the prince of Hailing has not been calmed down to this day, even if his identity has been recognized, even if he has a face that is seven points similar to his father, the suspicion of his life experience is still a burden that he doesn't want to get rid of in this life and this life, and the person who has brought great trouble to himself, he is here, swaggering back and forth as a victor, without any sense of guilt.
Now King Hailing is also detained in Lin'an, and it is difficult to move an inch. It seems that the prince of Hailing is going to win the trust of the court by offering a huge amount of wealth.
It's not that the enemies don't get together, it's better for him not to appear in front of him, otherwise...... Yuan Lingjun couldn't hold back his excitement, gathered his five fingers on his knees, grabbed his robe suddenly, and said without thinking: "Then there is no need to pay attention to him." You remember to tell the son, don't look for trouble if you're fine. ”
Standing up and patting the wrinkles on his clothes, he raised his eyebrows and glanced at the helpless county guard, brushed his clothes and walked into the house.
Soon her commanding voice came from the house: "I'm hungry, the boy servant brings food." ”
The county guard came out of the house and went directly to the post house, and conveyed what Yuan Lingjun said to the prince of Hailing word for word.
Knowing that King Changshan was ordered to control the chaos in the county, he thought of the festival between the two, and suddenly felt like a bird with a bow. Actually, it's nothing, but she kicked it into the lake and almost drowned...... Bad memories came back to my brain again, and now the Demon King was close at hand. The mood of the prince of Hailing couldn't be worse, and the previous request to the county guard was never mentioned again, and he only ordered the attendants he brought to go out of the city to pursue tribute.
Finally, on the third day, there was a whereabouts of the bandits, and the prince of Hailing was ecstatic, and the grievances that had accumulated for many days were left behind, and he personally took the men and horses to the outskirts of the city to suppress the bandits.
