301. Martyrdom will be chaotic
Youzhou capital division camp
Xie Li, the commander of the First Army, who should have been high, sat on the ground in the center of the big tent at this time. A soft sword as bright as autumn water was pressed against his neck, and the owner of the sword stood in front of him with a cold and solemn aura, looking at him condescendingly.
On the main seat above the big tent, a middle-aged man sat upright and sang in unison. Wearing a purple regular clothes, his bearing is graceful and dignified. It was Yan Wang Xiao You, who was supposed to patrol the border pass.
King Yan was high up, looking down at Xie Li on the ground with a faint killing intent in his eyes, "Xie Li, you are so bold!" ”
"It's not as good as the prince." Xie Li raised his hand to wipe a wisp of blood from his lips and sneered, "The old man's skills are not as good as others, and there is nothing to complain about when he falls to such a point." His Royal Highness King Yan wants to kill or chop, listen to it! ”
King Yan sneered: "So, is this king sorry for you?" Taking advantage of the fact that this king patrols the border and traps the soldiers in Youzhou City, if it wasn't for the fact that this king found out the clues earlier, I'm afraid that he would have returned to Youzhou today and thrown himself into the net, right? A mocking smile appeared on Xie Li's old face, "Lord Wang, you dare to say... You don't know what Your Majesty wants to do? In previous years, the prince inspected the border at the beginning of the war in March, so why did he have to delay it until the end of April this year? Isn't it to prepare time for His Majesty to attack? The prince is really ruthless, the princess, the two sons and the eldest princess are all in Youzhou City. By the way, there is also a pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses that the county lord of Star City and Wei Gongzi just had. The prince is so sure, Qi Shuo doesn't dare to kill them? ”
The sword on his neck was sent forward, and a bloody streak suddenly appeared on Xie Li's throat. The Sigui Sword is a rare sword, but Wei Gongzi is obviously very measured, and his throat was cut and he didn't even leave any more blood. Xie Li, as if he didn't feel pain, raised his hand and looked at Wei Junmo with a smile and said, "Master Wei, it seems that His Royal Highness King Yan doesn't trust and value you so much." Otherwise, how could they not even answer the greetings, and leave Princess Changping Xingcheng County Lord and Ling Lang Lingai surrounded by hundreds of thousands of troops? ”
"Thank you!" King Yan's face changed, and he said in a deep voice: "Do you think it's useful to sow discord at this time?" ”
Xie Li said indifferently: "Is it really provoking?" King Yan dares to guarantee 100% that the people in Youzhou City will not worry about their lives? Why didn't the prince tell Prince Wei what might happen in advance? Aren't you afraid that Young Master Wei will completely ignore your plan for the sake of Princess Changping and the Lord of Star City? ”
King Yan's face was gloomy, but he didn't open his mouth to refute.
Xie Li raised his hand and removed Wei Junmo's soft sword and slowly stood up. He was not lightly injured, he was not young in the first place, and his figure when he stood up at this time was a little more stiff. Raising his head, he looked at King Yan and said, "His Royal Highness King Yan, what you want to do now is true, and in the future, Youzhou and even the whole world will fall back into war." Old man... Here's wishing you all the best. ”
The sarcasm in Xie Li's words made King Yan's face even more difficult to look at, and he said sharply: "This king got his wish?" Isn't it the emperor's majesty who got his wish? The body of the father and the emperor is not cold, and the emperor is so anxious to attack us as uncles. It's a pity that this king is not the sixth brother, the seventh brother, the ninth brother, and the tenth brother! If you want this king to be captured, you also want him Xiao Qianye to have that ability! ”
Xie Li didn't seem to care about King Yan's anger, but just sneered: "A thief is a thief, and people in the world naturally have eyes to see it." As long as the prince himself feels happy, it's fine. ”
"Xie Li, you are really not afraid of death." King Yan stared at him and said coldly.
Xie Li raised his head, "The old man was ordered by the first emperor to guard Youzhou, and he only respects the royal orthodoxy in this life." As for life and death, everyone has to die one day. The old man accompanied the emperor under Jiuquan and waited for the prince. ”
"Look for death!"
Xie Li raised his head and laughed, "Your Majesty's expectation that the old man can't do anything, so he has to do his best." Now that the matter is defeated, he will not bother the prince, the old man will make it himself! Before Xie Li's words fell, he turned around and went to draw the saber of a guard not far away. King Yan said sharply: "Stop him!" ”
After all, Xie Li is a veteran who has been on the battlefield for most of his life, and the sudden and ordinary guards may not be his opponents. Wei Junmo, who was standing closest to him, remained motionless as if he hadn't seen anything. As for Lin Changfeng, who was sitting next to him and wanted to get up, he didn't move a little under Wei Gongzi's eyes, and even the expression on his face didn't change in the slightest.
In the blink of an eye, Xie Li had already snatched the waist knife in his hand, and slashed towards his neck without hesitation.
is completely different from Fang Cai Wei Junmo's attack, Xie Li's knife was fast and ruthless, the waist knife fell to the ground with a bang, and Xie Li also fell. His eyes turned to the direction of King Yan with difficulty, "Reverse... Thief ......"
Xie Li died cleanly, but King Yan was so angry that his face turned pale. The bumper knocked everything on the table in front of him to the ground. Xiao Qianwei, who was sitting below, was also startled, and looked at Wei Junmo who was standing next to him. Lin Changfeng touched his nose and leaned himself back in the chair. Master Nianyuan, who was only dressed in a white monk's robe, still looked calm, and smiled on his lips. Glancing at the people on the ground, he lowered his head and silently recited the mantra of death.
"Take it down! Stand down! After a while, King Yan spoke in a deep voice.
Several guards hurriedly carried Xie Li's body down, leaving only a pool of blood on the ground.
King Yan frowned, and looked at Wei Junmo and was about to speak, only to see Wei Gongzi's figure flash, and a cold light with a clear dragon chant stabbed towards Nian Yuan. Jian Feng stopped at Nian Yuan's Adam's apple, and the cold Jian Feng stirred up a layer of goosebumps on the surrounding skin.
Master Nianyuan's smile did not change, and he opened his eyes and calmly looked at Wei Junmo in front of him.
"Jun'er, what are you doing here!" King Yan didn't care what he wanted to say before, and hurriedly got up and said.
Wei Junmo stared at Nian Yuan and said coldly: "If something happens to your mother and Wufang, you don't have to live." ”
Nian Yuan raised his hand, gently brushed away the blade of the sword on his Adam's apple, and praised with a smile, "Good sword." Wei Gongzi can rest assured that if it is the county lord of Xingcheng and Princess Changping, even the two children will have a penny
, and even the two children have the slightest mistake, and the little monk is willing to apologize with death. Even if there are hundreds of thousands of troops near Youzhou now, Qi Shuo will definitely not take the initiative from the people of Yanwangfu and Xingcheng County. ”
Changfeng Gongzi, who originally wanted to persuade Gongzi Wei, was stunned for a while, but he could only pinch his nose and roll his eyes at the top of the big tent. He also thought that Wei Junmo was embarrassed to lose his temper with King Yan, so he became angry. The relationship between this monk is really the culprit, even the monk has been so cruel these years, and he still doesn't let these kind people live?
These days, they have always thought that Xie Li will do something, but they don't want Xie Li to play a big game as soon as he doesn't move. Directly taking advantage of Wei Junmo's military affairs, he transferred all his seventy or eighty thousand soldiers and horses out to intercept and kill King Yan and besiege Youzhou City. He also secretly ordered to open the pass into Youzhou for the imperial army, and now the King of Qi has been demoted to Yizhou, the King of Zhou and the King of Yan have a knotted brain, and King Qing is still young and not very reliable. He even let the imperial court's hundreds of thousands of troops drive directly through his fiefdom to the border of Youzhou, and he didn't know it. Youzhou Wei received the news and wanted to intercept but it was too late, Youzhou Wei had always been stationed at the border pass, although Chen Yu's army had moved south before, but it was impossible to seize Xie Li's defensive place. As a result, the soldiers and horses of the imperial court swaggered directly towards Youzhou without hindrance.
By the time Wei Junmo realized that something was wrong, he had already reached a dilemma. Rush back to Youzhou with 10,000 or 20,000 horses in your hands? Then there is a seventy or eighty percent chance that King Yan will die in the chaos. Nian Yuan is right, the people on the side of Youzhou will be fine for a while, but King Yan is in a hurry. In desperation, Wei Junmo had to lead his troops to save King Yan first, and took control of the camp of Youzhou Dusi. Xie Li did this kind of thing, and he never thought that he would end well. The soldiers and horses in the army were all sent out by him, and the rest were all those who had already been subdued by Wei Junmo and did not obey his command at all, so it didn't take much effort for Xie Li to fall into their hands.
Nian Yuan said with some regret: "It's a pity that General Xie died like this." "Although Xie Li is not as famous as the Duke of Hubei, Nangong Huai, the Duke of Chu, Lan Zhu, and Qin Yue, the Duke of Liang, he is also a general who has participated in the war to pacify the Central Plains and was killed from the sea of blood. With the passing of those famous generals one by one, now Xie Li can be regarded as a general who can fight in the DPRK. Otherwise, the first emperor would not have sent him to garrison such an important place as Youzhou. His death will not only remember the hatred of the soldiers under his command for the Yan Wangfu, but also give the people of the world an image of a loyal minister who sacrificed for the country. If Jinling's side operates well, it will also be a big blow to King Yan's reputation.
This kind of thing on the bright side can be thought of far away, and of course King Yan and Wei Junmo will not think of it. King Yan looked at Wei Junmo, who had an indifferent expression, frowned and said, "Jun'er, what do you think?" "With Wei Junmo's martial arts, not to mention that it is so close, even if it is several times farther away, he doesn't want Xie Li to die, Xie Li can't die.
Wei Junmo glanced at Nian Yuan calmly and said, "He's just doing what he has to do, my uncle is going to kill him sooner or later, what's the difference between how to die?" "For Xie Li, a boss who doesn't get along well, Wei Junmo doesn't hate him as much as others think, even if what he is doing now puts the person he cares about the most in danger. He wanted him dead, but he didn't hate him. Xie Li is not a person who is good at intrigue and intrigue, he is actually more likely to fight openly on the battlefield. However, in his position, he just did what he had to do. For this kind of person, Wei Junmo would not have any pleasure in torturing him and trampling on him.
Of course, King Yan knew that Wei Junmo was still unhappy about this incident, looking at his indifferent face and deep purple eyes, he had to sigh deeply and said, "This time, this king shouldn't have said hello to you first." But, Jun'er, Uncle just doesn't want you to be embarrassed. Rest assured, they'll be fine. ”
Both sides want to do it, but neither wants to tell the truth. Xiao Qianye was unwilling, and Yan Wangfu couldn't. When the two sides were deadlocked to the point that no one could bear it anymore, King Yan had to personally create opportunities for Xiao Qianye. Now... The matter has come to this, and the world should be chaotic if it is not chaotic.
Father, since you have chosen such an heir, your sons can only be unfilial. Xiao You can surrender to the feet of the emperor, but he will never surrender to the feet of a waste!
Wei Junmo lowered his eyes and was indifferent.
Xiao Qianwei, who was sitting on the side, flashed a trace of shock in his eyes, his father actually apologized to his cousin for such a thing?! You must know that it is not only the imperial aunt and cousin and two nephews and nieces who are trapped in the city, but also everyone in their Yanwang Mansion except for themselves and their father. However, his father did not even give him a reassuring look.
Nian Yuan looked at everyone and said with a light smile: "Lord Wang, now is not the time to talk about these gossips. The most important thing right now is... What's next? ”
King Yan nodded and said, "Jun'er, you sit down first." Master, what do you think? ”
Nian Yuan said: "Although General Xie's death was an accident, but... The current situation is still more favorable to us. Please immediately release the news to the whole world, and announce the news that His Majesty sent tens of thousands of troops to besiege Jinling and hold everyone in the Yan Wangfu hostage while the prince was out of the world. ”
King Yan nodded, "This king knows." ”
"This matter is sooner rather than later, if the news of Xie Li's suicide is released first by the Jinling side, I am afraid that the remarks of the outside world will be a little difficult to control." Nian Yuan admonished.
"The king knows." Yan Wang said: "Over there in Youzhou, how to break the siege?" ”
Nian Yuan shook his head and said, "Lord Wang, our most important trouble now is not Youzhou. ”
"Oh?"
Nian Yuan said: "Since Your Majesty has already sent troops to Youzhou, how can you only have this preparation?" I'm afraid now... The fiefdoms of King Zhou and King Qing are no longer guaranteed. The follow-up army will continue to enter Youzhou. If the prince leads the army to take over the position of Youzhou now, it would be good if he could fight it immediately, but if he couldn't beat it, he would be attacked from front to back. In the city of Youzhou... Now there are no soldiers and horses to cooperate with the prince. ”
King Yan said: "You mean, leave Youzhou alone?"
You Zhou doesn't care? ”
"For the time being." Nian Yuan said with a smile, "We don't move Youzhou, Qi Shuo will never dare to move the people of Yanwangfu first." But if the prince immediately sends troops to Youzhou, Qi Shuo will not be able to support it, and it is likely that the dog will jump off the wall in a hurry. When the time comes, the princess and the prince will ......"
King Yan lowered his eyes, thought for a long time before nodding and said: "Pass on the military order of the king, Zhu Hong led 100,000 soldiers and horses to garrison the border pass, and Xue Zhen led the remaining soldiers and horses to join Chen Yu immediately!" ”
"The prince is wise." Nian Yuan smiled.
Out of the big tent, Lin Changfeng walked beside Wei Junmo and couldn't help but look back at Master Nianyuan who came out behind them. Some couldn't help but look at Nianyuan and said, "Are you really Nianyuan monk?" "Lin Changfeng is far from familiar with Nian, so he can only be regarded as acquaintance. After all, Changfeng Gongzi has a free and uninhibited personality, and he already feels unlucky enough to meet an indifferent and boring Wei Junmo, and he really can't get close to Nian Yuan, a Buddhist monk named in the world. Even if Master Nianyuan is famous, he is more famous than his Buddhist cultivation.
Nianyuan smiled and saluted the eleventh salute of Changfeng, "Changfeng Gongzi, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”
Lin Changfeng flashed directly to Wei Junmo's side, "Don't, Master Nianyuan has impressed my son." My son has always been a little afraid of smart people, and the master doesn't have to be so polite to me. ”
Nian Yuan smiled silently, looked at Wei Junmo and said: "This time, it is really a last resort, and I hope that Wei Gongzi will forgive me." ”
Wei Junmo's voice was indifferent, "Master Nianyuan is reminding me, are people in the world overestimating the master's talent?" Saying that such a situation is the only way Nianyuan can come up with, Wei Junmo will only feel that either Nianyuan's brain has been damaged by something, or his own brain is broken, he will believe his words.
Nian Yuan was not in a hurry, "At least, this is indeed the best situation, isn't it?" The little monk assured that the people that Wei Gongzi cared about would be fine, didn't Gongzi believe in the ability of the county lord of Star City? ”
Wei Junmo finally looked at Nianyuan, even if the world-famous Master Nianyuan looked at Shangwei Gongzi as if he could see through the whole person, he would inevitably feel a little uncomfortable, "What's wrong with the little monk?" ”
Wei Junmo said: "A monk can actually have ambitions. ”
Nian Yuan smiled and said: "Everyone has selfish intentions, if the little monk can be extraordinary, he has already become a Buddha on the ground, how can he still struggle in the sea of red dust and suffering?" ”
Wei Gongzi showed a rare and obvious smile on his face, but unfortunately it was with a mocking sneer, "Ambition, power desire, greed, hatred, murder." Daguangji Temple is such an interesting place, but I have overlooked it in the past. After speaking, regardless of Nianyuan's expression, Wei Junmo turned around and brushed his sleeves away.
Changfeng Gongzi looked at Nian Yuan curiously, but he really didn't see how Wei Junmo saw these things on Nian Yuan. If it weren't for the conversation in the big tent before, even if he looked at Nianyuan now, he still felt that he was a gentle and elegant generation of famous monks.
However, Changfeng Gongzi still vigilantly took a few steps away from Nian, turned around and quickly caught up with Wei Junmo's figure.
Xiao Qianwei, who was left in place, looked sideways at Nianyuan, and Master Nianyuan still had a faint smile, and his white monk's robe was spotless. It seems to be a pious Buddha born in the Pure Land of the Buddha Country......
"Amitabha." Master Nianyuan said in a low voice, then nodded towards Xiao Qianwei and turned around to face the sunset in the west and walked outside the camp. Just after a scuffle, there were still dark red blood stains on the ground and tent around him, and a faint smell of blood could be smelled on the tip of his nose. Xiao Qianwei turned to look, with a faint red sunset sprinkled on Nian Yuan's white monk's robe. The back that should have made people feel holy and peaceful somehow made Xiao Qianwei feel cold in his heart.
A whirlwind swept a blood-stained cloth past Xiao Qianwei, and turned around on the ground and headed in the direction of Nian Yuan.
Xiao Qianwei looked at the blood-stained remnant sun on the horizon and couldn't help but shudder: In this world... It's really going to be messy.
