Chapter 67: Framed
Tuoba Gui's voice sank, and he let out an "oh", "But the Han people joined the army, Liang Jin?" ”
"That's right!" Tuoba Hong said loudly, and then with a wave of his hand, the guard next to him took away the strip of cloth from the prisoner's mouth, and Tuoba Hong shouted, "Give me an honest explanation!" “
Yu Ruoxu felt the blood gushing up her head, and her fingers were cold.
That ragged prisoner is clearly Pei Changchang!
"The prince is my master, and he asked me to contact Princess Jiangcheng to inquire about Xianbei's recent march." Pei Yuanyuan's voice floated faintly in the air, as if he had no soul, and he had completely lost his vitality.
Yu Ruoxu covered his mouth in surprise, what was he talking about?!
Princess Jiangcheng's iceberg-like expression finally loosened a little, her eyes were a little surprised, and her voice became sharper, "What did you say?" ”
Tuoba Hong interrupted, "Don't worry, it's not too late to listen to this fine work." ”
Takoba Kei's expression was a little unfathomable," he continued. ”
"You Xianbei people are savages! Cheap breed! I'm going to kill you all!" Not a single one to stay! For some reason, Pei Changyuan suddenly became excited, struggling with both hands, trying to break free from the guards' clamps, his eyes revealed a fierce look, and he looked like he was going to swallow Tuoba Gui in front of him.
Yu Ruoxu was far away, but she also heard Pei Yuan's hysterical roar. The Xianbei tribesmen who were still dancing around the bonfire just now suddenly exploded, if it weren't for the guards to stop them, I am afraid that they would have rushed up directly and hacked Pei Changchang to death.
This scene...... Yu Ruoxu recalled that day in the restaurant in Bingzhou City, the Han people also hated the Xianbei people, refused to let the disease attack, and the dying Tuoba Yu came in to rest.
Tuoba Gui frowned, and glanced at the person next to him with some impatience, only to see a Xianbei man step forward and directly hit Pei Changyuan's face with a fist.
Pei Changyuan snorted, his body was beaten to the ground, and then he spat out a mouthful of blood. Yu Ruoxu felt that the punch seemed to hit her body, Tuoba Mu'er saw that her face was pale, her body was trembling slightly, and she couldn't help but feel a little strange, "Ruoxu, what's wrong with you?" Was it scared? ”
Yu Ruoxu subconsciously shook her head and forced out two words from between her teeth, "It's okay." ”
"This fine work will definitely not end well, I'm afraid it will be bloodier in a while, or I'll send you back first." Tuoba Mu'er couldn't help but be a little worried when she looked at her.
"Princess, he just said that the queen ......" Yu Ruoxu felt a little confused, "we can't let the queen be here alone." ”
As soon as Yu Ruoxu's voice fell, he only heard Tuoba Hong say sharply, "This is the territory of our Xianbei people, and it is your turn to spread wild?!" Come on, drag him down for me and whip him, and let him taste the power of our Xianbei people! “
"Wait." Tuoba Gui raised his hand and stopped, "Some of them will be powerful for him to taste in a while, let me ask you clearly." ”
Tuoba Hong paused, "Father Khan, it's the son who has overpassed." ”
Tuoba Gui looked at him, sat up from his seat, handed Tuoba Yue in his arms to Aunt Dugu on the side, and walked in front of Pei Yuanyuan, his eyes were like torches, "You said, you were ordered to find the queen?" ”
Pei Yuanyuan's eyes were still a little hollow, but his voice was still extremely angry, but he repeated this sentence: "The prince is my master, and he asked me to contact Princess Jiangcheng to inquire about Xianbei's recent march!" “
Tuoba Kei pinched his neck, "Then what did you hear from the queen?" ”
Pei Changyuan gritted his teeth and looked at Tuoba Gui with wide eyes, but he didn't say a word.
"I ask you, what do you hear from the Queen?" Tuoba Kei's hand gradually clenched, and he asked in a low voice, word by word.
Pei Yuanyuan's face gradually turned red and purple, and he was about to be strangled to death by Tuoba Gui.
Yu Ruoxu couldn't help it, the word "Pei" was stuck in her throat, but she was covered by a pair of big hands, and she could only make a subtle whining sound.
"Third brother?!" Tuoba Mu'er on the side was dumbfounded, "Why are you here?" “
Tuoba Yu frowned, and before he could answer Tuoba Mu'er's words, he whispered to Yu Ruoxu, "Now is not the time to save him!" “
Yu Ruoxu turned her head and saw a pair of familiar dark blue eyes, she struggled to break open up Bayu, and her low voice trembled slightly, "Then do I want to watch him die here?" ”
"Don't worry, I have a way." Tuoba Yu said in a deep voice, "Promise me, don't say anything for a while, stay here and don't move, and leave the rest to me." ”
Yu Ruoxu was shocked, "You ......"
"He's your man, and I'm not going to let him die." Tuoba Yu's expression was solemn, his hands held her shoulders, and he looked down into her eyes, "Ruoxu, you believe me this time." “
Yu Ruoxu nodded, Tuoba Yu let go of her, and walked directly in the direction of Tuoba Gui.
Tuoba Hong saw that Pei Changchang was about to be strangled to death by Tuoba Gui, and hurriedly stepped forward, "Father Khan, we can't let him die, we still have to ......"
As soon as Tuoba Gui let go, Pei Changyuan was thrown to the ground by him like a rag, opening his mouth and panting loudly.
Tuoba Hong stepped forward and picked up his clothes, and his voice sounded a little terrifying, "If you still want to live, hurry up and recruit it truthfully, otherwise you will ......"
Pei Changyuan's body stiffened, and his face showed pain, "I ......"
Tuoba Hong pinched the back of his neck and forced him to look up, "I advise you not to challenge Father Khan's patience. ”
"Xianbei has been hit hard and intends to stop fighting, so it is best to attack it directly at this time." Pei Changyuan seemed to have given up resistance, his eyes were swayed, his expression was haggard, and he didn't even have the strength to speak.
The crowd was in an uproar.
Princess Jiangcheng's face was like snow, "Khan-"
Tuoba Gui was stunned, and looked back at Princess Jiangcheng, "What else do you have to say?" ”
Princess Jiangcheng stood up, walked in front of Tuoba Gui, and knelt down straight, "The Khan knows my personality better than anyone else, so why should he listen to one-sided words?" I don't know this man, let alone tell him about the Khan's plans for the march. Please also ask the Khan to return my innocence. ”
When Tuoba Hong heard this, he grabbed Pei Changyuan again, still with a smiling expression, "Say it quickly!" Who told you to frame the queen mother? “
Pei Changyuan didn't speak, and his eyes were no longer bright.
"Do you dare to be hard-mouthed?" Tuoba Hong seemed to be angry, and said to the guards on the side, "Give me a whip to whip hard!" Pump until he opens his mouth! Dare to frame the queen mother, I think you are tired of life! “
The guards pulled Pei Changchang aside and slammed the salt-soaked whip at him.
Yu Ruoxu heard the sound of whipping, as if her heart was bleeding. Pei Changyuan was injured when he was pulled up, I am afraid that he has been tortured a lot, and now he is beaten again...... The more she thought about it, the more uncomfortable she became, and she wanted to cover her ears to escape from this qiē.
Tuoba Yu ...... What's his solution?!
If he doesn't make a move, Pei Changyuan will die!
"Princess......" Pei Changchang kept snorting, but kept calling "Princess" intermittently, Tuoba Gui's brows were almost twisted together, Princess Jiangcheng looked at Pei Changchang who was being tortured coldly, "Who are you?" Who sent you to frame me? ”
"Lord Shizi...... It's my master, and he wants me to contact ...... Princess Jiangcheng, inquire about Xianbei...... Recent marching movements...... "Pei Changchang was so painful that he couldn't even say a complete sentence, but he still repeated this sentence.
Yu Ruoxu felt that something was wrong, Pei Changyuan kept repeating this sentence, and with his empty eyes, every qiē revealed something unusual.
Why the hell is he here? And why is it like this?
Pei Yuanyuan's voice became weaker and weaker, and in the end, he lay on the ground like a corpse, with a blur of flesh and blood on his back, if it weren't for the whip on his body, he would have let out a subconscious whimper, and it was no different from a dead person.
She also promised him that when she returned to the capital, she would ask Yu Zhongjun to send him to the Martial Arts Hall. Learn the art of war and martial arts.
Thinking of this, Yu Ruoxu felt that her heart was like a knife.
She felt useless more than once, when she was at the city gate, when she watched the victims being shot, and now she saw Pei Changchang suffering.
You can't do anything but watch. Then there is an overwhelming sense of powerlessness that consumes itself.
"Khan." Princess Jiangcheng said in a deep voice, "Since I married Xianbei, I have never been in contact with the imperial court, and my loyalty to the Khan can be seen in the world, you can't doubt me because of a detailed remark that I don't know where it came from." ”
"But the queen mother, this fine work has the waist card of the military mansion, and it must be the person sent by Liang Jin." Tuoba Hong paused, "Queen Mother, I heard that you were ...... with that Liang Jin when you were in the capital."
"What are you talking about?!" Princess Jiangcheng's voice seemed to be floating with broken ice, "Playing right and wrong in front of the Khan and trapping me in an unrighteous place, this is your purpose?" “
"What is this word, Queen Mother? The son is just telling the truth. Tuoba Hong hurriedly said to Tuoba Gui, "Father Khan, the son is by no means a joke, just a matter of facts. There were several Han captives under his son who were from the capital, and I heard from them that the queen mother had almost made a marriage contract with that Liang Jin before, and almost everyone knew about it. Liang Jin was originally a civilian official and had never been on the battlefield, and this time he was able to win in Changbai Mountain, I am afraid that someone will reveal the news to him in advance! “
Princess Jiangcheng smiled, and her smile almost lit up the entire grassland, "The kings really know my past well." “
"It's just a coincidence." Tuoba Hong said solemnly, "Please also ask Father Khan to adjudicate!" “
Tuoba Gui grabbed Princess Jiangcheng and squinted his eyes, "What the kings said, but is it true?" ”
Princess Jiangcheng smiled sadly, "Khan still doesn't believe me. ”
Suddenly, there was a "snap", like the sound of a whip breaking, and the guard held half a whip in his hand and said, "Khan, kings, the whip is broken, and this man seems to be dying." ”
