96.Chapter 85

-- After Li Hu returned to Jiankang, everyone in the world speculated that he might take the Son of Heaven captive and flee north, whether it was to return to Runan or Jiangdong, in short, he would definitely make a final struggle.

But Li Hu's actions exceeded everyone's expectations.

He was like a madman, under the siege of heavy troops, regardless of the fact that he began to prepare for the emperor, and the first thing he did after returning to Jiankang was to force the Son of Heaven to write an edict.

No one knew exactly how the Son of Heaven would respond, but two days later, the news spread in the palace that the Son of Heaven was seriously injured and died. In the past few days, there was no light in Jiankang City, and all the courtiers who were suspected of being loyal to the Son of Heaven were killed. As Li Hu's suspicions worsened, everyone in the courtiers was in danger, and the people who stayed in the city began to panic.

When the end of the road came, Li Hu was completely mad.

Just after the news of the murder of the Son of Heaven broke, Xu Yi began to attack the city.

This time in the battle of Taicheng, there was neither a bitter battle nor a street battle. Li Hu's perverse behavior made the hearts of the people inside and outside the city unified, and Li Hu himself seemed to have foreseen his end, and he did not actively organize resistance. When the north gate of Taicheng was breached, he actually accepted the "hundred officials" to congratulate him - as if he was competing with Xu Yi to see who was faster.

But as soon as the enthronement ceremony ended, Li Hu sat on the dragon chair in a dragon robe, looking at the restless "courtiers" below who couldn't even get together the basic number, and suddenly woke up from the demonic barrier.

Then, he took off his dragon robe and took a few cronies with him, and took advantage of the chaos to escape from Jiankang City.

- He did not die for his newly established dynasty, but once again chose to flee.

But this new "dynasty" did take Vimo's life.

Vimo died under the rocks.

He did not write or read the edict of Chan Rang, and even when Li Hu forced him to stamp the jade seal on the written edict, he did not agree - as a puppet emperor, this was his last dignity. But again, as a puppet emperor, it is useless for him to recognize this edict or not. Li Hu finally ascended the throne as emperor in the name of Shouzen.

And as early as the night when Vimo rejected Li Hu, Li Hu ordered someone to execute him. The men who were ordered to kill Vimo did not dare to make Vimo see his face, so they tied him behind a wall, knocked him down, and crushed him to death.

After Xu Yi invaded the city, he searched everywhere for Vimo. Finally, under the guidance of an insider, the wall was cut open, and Vimo's body was found under the wall.

In the hot and humid summer of Jiangnan, the corpses are decomposed and difficult to identify, but the clothes and posture will not go wrong. The people who served Vimo in close quarters and even Vimo's wife recognized it, and it was indeed him. After finding the body, Vimo's wife was so grief-stricken that she touched the wall in front of his body and died in front of it.

Vimoben had a son, who was still in infancy, and it is said that he was also drowned by Li Hu, but his body was never found. But the two little princesses are taking care of their lives.

However, in the face of the general trend of the world, this is just a small detail that is not worth pursuing.

Liuli Ruyi arrived in Jiankang one day earlier.

At that time, Xu Yi was busy rectifying order in the city, receiving and sorting out documents from the rebels. She broke in, despite the guards' obstructions.

Xu Yi got up from her seat to greet her, she strode forward, her eyes were red, and she raised her hand and slapped Xu Yi in the face.

Xu Yi expected such a slap, but her complexion did not change, but Zhang Ben, who couldn't stop Liuli and had to chase her in, couldn't help but gasp.

Liuli's slap hurt more than Xu Yi expected, and the teeth hit the corners of his mouth, and the blood line flowed down at that time. Xu Yi touched it with her thumb, but she felt that not to mention it, Princess Shuyang's hand strength had grown a lot in the past few years.

But he was not annoyed, he only looked at Liuli with a calm sigh of relief, and said, "Her Royal Highness the princess has come from afar, and she has never come out to greet her, and she hopes to atone for her sins." ”

Ruri's eyes were full of tears.

Facing Xu Yi's calm and unashamed gaze, she hated him more and more in her heart for being ruthless and unjust. But when he thought of his near-death and scarred bodies, this hatred could not be sustained.

Xu Yi is not ruthless and unrighteous, he guards the people around him with his flesh and blood. Even when Jiankang fell, when everyone was busy fleeing, he broke into the city regardless of his life and rescued her and Xu Si. He was clearly a man of wisdom and righteousness. He just didn't pay attention to her entrustment, and he didn't remember Vimo's life and death.

She knew that from Xu Yi's standpoint, Vimo couldn't be saved. But she still had a faint expectation, hoping that Xu Yi could save Vimo's life for the sake of their joint efforts - she knew that Xu Yi could do it. She is willing to spend her life to repay this kindness.

But Xu Yi still didn't do it. In the end, he still waited patiently until Vimo was killed by the enemy before he was willing to send troops to attack the city.

She couldn't complain about Xu Yi, what she should hate was why she didn't insist on attacking Jiankang with the army, and didn't desperately save Weimo with her own strength. She should resent her weakness. But she couldn't help but care, this person watched her brother and sister-in-law and even her infant nephew die tragically and ruthlessly.

She was filled with remorse in her heart, and countless entanglements finally turned into a sentence, "Xu Yi, hello, you are very good!" …… Aren't you afraid of nightmares?! ”

Xu Yi sighed softly, the love in his eyes was complicated for a moment, and he said, "In the past two years, there has not been a day when the minister has not had nightmares. He lowered his eyes and said to Zhang Ben, "Send His Highness down to rest." ”

He didn't explain a word about Vimo.

Zhang Ben dragged the glass out.

When he was far away, he saw that there was no one around, so he said to Liuli, "Why do you have to do this?" ”

He could understand Liuli's sadness at the moment - after the death of the Son of Heaven and Zhang Guifei, Vimo was the closest person to her. Although she still has two sisters, Miaofa and Ruyi, and Xiao Huaishuo, a younger brother, in terms of etiquette, she is not the same mother, and her feelings are naturally much weaker. In Liuli's heart, her parents and brother and her are a complete home. Her parents have been mourned, and Vimo is dead, leaving her alone.

But whose family is not family. In the past two years, he and Xu Yi have traveled thousands of miles and experienced many life-threatening battles. Although this idea sounds very unreasonable, in the past two years, they have killed tens of thousands, saved tens of thousands, and witnessed hundreds of thousands of lives and deaths.

Liuli leaned against the wall, slowly slid down and cried loudly.

Zhang Ben knew that she was sad, and she couldn't say more accusatory words, after all, Liuli was hot-blooded, no better than them who climbed back from Shura. He only said, "He didn't sit idly by and watch the Son of Heaven be killed, but just chose the safest time to attack the city." As for the rest, it's just providence. ”

Liuli didn't sleep all night.

At dawn, Zhang Ben sent a letter over, "Princess Wuyang is back, General Xu has just gone out of the city to greet her, are you going?" ”

Ruri sat on the bed with her knees crossed, describing it as bleak. Hearing this, he was stunned for a moment before lowering his eyes and said, "When they meet, there must be countless feelings to tell, what am I going to do." ”

Zhang Ben paused and said, "After all, they are sisters who grew up together, so let's go and meet." The father and brother she could rely on were gone, and she could no longer be as condescending to Ruyi as she used to. Even if she looked at Xu Si and Xiao Huaishuo's faces, she should lower her posture a little.

Liuli was silent, as if she had finally figured it out, smiled, and said, "She doesn't care about this...... Let's go and greet it. ”

She got up to change her clothes and wash.

She went later than Xu Yi, followed Zhang Ben all the way through Xizhou City, out of the West Fence Gate, and saw that she was about to go to Shijin, so she saw the flags from afar. Her little sister rode horses and horses, and led a group of black-clothed iron horsemen from the west, and she was clearly a heroic female general. Liuli suddenly felt the wind blow into her eyes, and while tears welled up, she couldn't help but raise her hand to cover her eyes and muttered, "...... Really, she always has to lose one step to her. ”

Xu Yi only brought three or five entourages, dressed in Yanju civilian clothes, and waited quietly on the slope.

But Ruyi still saw him at a glance.

She motioned for the army to stop, and she rode forward. Obviously, they only get together for one shot, but she whips her several times, and the horse is always not fast enough.

When she finally got to Xu Yi, she turned over and got down without waiting for the horse to stop. But when he ran to Xu Yi, he involuntarily stopped.

Before we met, I was full of thoughts about meeting him.

After seeing it, he was just speechless.

--I thought it was a parting of life and death, but now he did return to her alive.

She couldn't help but raise her hand to gently caress his cheek, her fingers brushing the scar across his right eye, and asked softly, "Can you see me?" ”

Xu Yi held her hand, put it on her face, felt the living temperature of her palm, and said in a dumb voice, "You can see it when you close your eyes." ”

Tears rolled down her eyes. Be affectionate, stop being polite—she told herself. But before she could finish the words in her heart, she couldn't help but step forward and hug him.

Gu Jinglou's heart was a little pantothenic sour--this hugging is shameless!

He looked at him left and right, and when he turned his head, he saw a girl on the slope.

The morning sun rises, and the morning scene dawns. The plain white gauze dress on the girl's body was raised in the wind, graceful as a song. She raised her hand and brushed her windswept sideburns, and a pair of black pupils that could not be warmed under her dark and thick eyelashes. The lonely and cold face has a touch of fresh and bright lips like spring peach blossoms.

Gu Jinglou was stunned for a while before he drove forward.

The girl only looked at Xu Yi and Ruyi with joy and sadness—but Gu Jinglou just knew that this scene made her feel less comfortable.

So he watched her for a while—it was a bit of a pain in the eyes.

The same is the end of the world. Gu Jinglou thought, look, they still have a common topic.

So he said, "What a corruption for Sven." "These two!

The girl gave him a blank look, turned her horse, and was about to leave.

Gu Jinglou was so white that she was so comfortable, he thought, there are such vivid and vivid white eyes in the world, she is really happy and disgusted.

He then also set his horse to catch up, and said, "Long and sparse greetings - that year in the East Palace......

The girl was embarrassed and said, "Do you know who I am? ”

Gu Jinglou then bent his eyebrows and smiled, and said, "Xiao Liuli." He said, "I'm Gu Jinglou." ”

The girl was stunned for a moment, glanced at him, and didn't say anything more. Gu Jinglou then spread his hooves and happily followed again.
