Chapter 503: Shocking
In just a few months, the situation in the twelve states of Daliang has changed.
At the first moment, the Tan family was still in full swing, and there was a great tendency to change the dynasty, and the next moment Li Chengyun was expected to return, and the powerful family came to defect.
Before there was any action in terms of leaving the water, the remnants of the Great Zhou Dynasty in Baiyunwu revived, colluding with the army of Jilu to sweep Kaizhou with lightning speed, and the troops were trapped from the water.
This successive upheavals are like a storm, making people dizzy and frightened.
Fortunately, with the help of the people of Lishui, Li Chengyun took thousands of Ji family troops to hold Lishui City, and when the reinforcements arrived, the assassinated Ji Nantang finally escaped death and successfully rendezvoused with Meng Zhenguo's troops stationed in Houyang.
Although the Jijia army suffered heavy losses, the army of the Jilu Kingdom did not take advantage, after several days of fierce battles, the Jilu people retreated to the area of Rouning and Pucang, occupied the northern part of Kaizhou, and the war fell into a stalemate for a while.
The girder is so chaotic, but few people pay attention to it in Nanchong, which is separated by a river.
If nothing else, the situation in the government and the opposition in Nanchong is also very tense.
It's just that the rebellion of Daliang is like a storm in the light, but Nan Chong is like an undercurrent in the river, underground magma, and the attack is imminent, but he still barely maintains the illusion of calm.
A few months ago, Chen Guifei successfully gave birth to the emperor's eldest son, and Emperor Liang Xi of Tianyou was very happy, rewarded the concubine's father and brother, and granted tax relief and amnesty to the world.
The emperor's eldest son was full moon, a banquet was held in the Liangxi Palace, and the heroic general Wu Kui was drunk and unfounded, cursing the emperor's eldest son in private, and was convicted and imprisoned after being reported.
The position of the heroic general is very important, and he has military power. often in and out of the palace, accompanied by the holy car, the imperial city forbidden army is dispatched by him and the loyal general Qi Su.
Wu Kui is from the Wu family. It's Wu Deshui's person, and when something like this happens, Liang Xi not only blamed Wu Deshui on the surface, but also comforted him.
The person who succeeded Wu Kui was also surnamed Wu.
The surname Wu is surnamed Wu, but it is a side branch of the Wu family, this person's name is Wu Changzong, and he is the cousin of Jiang Xunyan's wife Jiang Wu.
Wu Changzong has long been married. has a good personal relationship with his brother-in-law Jiang Yanyan.
Before Jiang Wu married Jiang Xianyan, her younger brother was already in the army, and the tide has risen over the years because of Jiang Xianyan's relationship. followed a lot of light, but I didn't expect to be promoted by Emperor Tianyu this time, and he became a military attache of the third grade.
If Liang Xi's attitude in this matter is still relatively vague, he needs to cultivate after Wu Feng's assassination in the winter moon. The post of Yin of Jiatong Prefecture cannot be vacant for a long time. After discussing that the Taishi Wu Deshui changed the eldest son to an idle position, and arranged for Ding Qun, who was related to the Chen family, to take over, how could the courtiers not see that the emperor was fed up with the constraints of the Taishi Wu Deshui, and wanted to clean up the Wu family and clear the way for the emperor's eldest son.
South Chongdu City Jiatong.
Jiang Xianyan is on the house.
The previously empty courtyard is now very lively.
Not only lived Yunlu and Tong Baishuang, but also later Bian Qingchuan, Wang Qi and Fu Chunniang.
Fu Chunniang brought a lot of cronies, and these people followed her from Yezhou to Jiangbei. Then Zhao'an went to Fengjing and threw himself into the water. It is not easy to be loyal all the time, this time I came to Nanchong, Fu Chunniang couldn't let them go, so I simply brought them together.
The courtyard was full, and the four of Xuan Tongfang were looking for another place to live outside, and it happened that they were quite frightened by Jiang Xianyan, and they didn't want to live too close.
Wang Shisan didn't live with everyone, and Mrs. Jiang made the decision and made a small courtyard for her grandson in the back house, close to her.
There was no brazier in the house, the windows were open, and it was as cold inside and outside the house, and even the air out of the house was like hoarfrost.
The little servant sent by the Jiang family to serve Wang Thirteen stood at the door wearing a cotton jacket, freezing and stamping his feet.
Wang 13 sat on the edge of the bed, grinning and said, "Go and see, why hasn't Old Yan come yet?" I didn't move for half a day, and my neck was so stiff that I was about to cramp. ”
The little guy agreed, and heard him muttering inside: "This damn weather, it's so hot." ”
The little guy secretly said to himself, the sky has changed in the past two days, the north wind is whistling, the weather is cold, Young Master Lu is wearing a single robe, the front placket is wide open, this is too hot, what a big fire this is, no wonder the adults are always urging him to get married, tsk.
Wang Shisan's residence was very simple according to his requirements, with a table, chair and wardrobe, which was a must, and in addition, there was a double bed.
Although Wen Sheng is very busy on the side of Daliang, maybe the situation will improve in the next two days, and she will have time to come and take a look at herself.
Although he knew that there was little hope, Wang 13 still asked for a big bed without hesitation.
At this moment, he was sitting on the bed, opposite to a person-high bronze mirror, and when he looked into the bronze mirror, he saw that the top of his head and neck were full of golden needles, and he looked like a hedgehog, which was very scary.
These golden needles were inserted by Yan Bai, and he told Wang Thirteen not to move, and then pulled his legs and left, and it was a quarter of an hour now, and he had not come back.
The little guy came back after a while and said, "Young Master Lu, that madman has just had another attack, and Old Doctor Yan is treating him, and the old man is also there." ”
The madman refers to Fu Lancheng, there is not much left of the pill in Baiyunwu, Fu Chunniang and Wang Qi brought him to seek medical treatment, Jiang Xianyan took them in on the face of his nephew, Yan Bai has not bothered much these days, but it has played a very small role.
When Wang 13 heard this, he threw off his shoes and went to the ground, saying, "I'll go and see." ”
The little guy hurriedly stopped him: "Young master, the needle at your end ......"
"It's okay, I don't touch it." Wang Thirteen stiffened his neck, his upper body remained motionless, opened the door and walked away.
Fu Lancheng was also placed in the backyard, not far from Wang Shisan's residence, firstly, Yan Bai was very interested in his strange illness, and wanted to keep him under his nose from time to time, and besides, whenever he had a seizure, the front yard was too crowded, and it was difficult to hide it outside.
Wang Shisan's ear voice is keen, and as soon as he enters the courtyard, he listens to the sound of "hmm", it should be that Fu Lancheng refuses to give up after being gagged, and is struggling desperately.
Wang 13 couldn't help but sigh when he heard this movement, the people of his uncle's family didn't know Fu Lancheng's prestige in Daliang Wulin, and called him "crazy", Fu Chunniang's father was a good man in the twelve states of Daliang that day, but he didn't expect to be put down so easily by a mere pill, and he looked like others were not ghosts. It is inevitable that people will feel sad about the death of rabbits and foxes.
He pushed open the door and saw Fu Lancheng with heavy shackles on his hands and feet, wrapped in iron chains. He was firmly tied to a stone bed, with a cloth ball stuffed in his mouth, his eyes were wide with anger, and his green tendons were bulging high, and his expression looked very hideous.
In order to facilitate diagnosis and treatment, Fu Lancheng's hair was all shaved, and a few needles were pierced on his bare head.
This needle is much thicker and longer than the golden needle on Wang Thirteen's head. A few key points on the top of the head have just been bloody, and the blood is drenched and looks quite terrifying.
It's all like this, Fu Lancheng didn't stop, and his legs were strained from time to time. The chains "rattle", accompanied by a stench, he was incontinent again.
Yan Bai and Jiang Xianyan stood in front of the bed, their expressions solemn.
The Di brothers watched intently. I'm afraid that Fu Lancheng will have too much strength. Breaking the iron rope and hurting people.
Wang 13 raised his hand to cover his nose and said, "My mother, this is the case, you can't cure Yan Lao?" ”
When Yan Bai saw Wang 13 coming in, he remembered that he hadn't pulled out the needles yet, so he asked him to sit down, and said while taking the needles: "This is the most vicious poison that the old man has ever seen in his life, and it is difficult to get rid of this addiction." It's not an overnight effort, I'm afraid it's three or five years. Even ten or eight years, you will be affected by it for the rest of your life. ”
"So powerful? It's not that there are still some pills, take one for him to eat first. ”
Yan Bai's expression was stern: "No, the more you take this medicine, the more you sink into the mud, and you can't turn back." ”
After taking the needle, Wang 13 moved his neck and felt much more relaxed.
Fu Lancheng looked like this, seeing that Yan Bai was a little helpless, Wang Shisan couldn't stand the atmosphere, and said, "You guys are busy, I'm leaving!" ”
Yan Bai ignored him, and when it came to Jiang Xianyan and Wang Thirteen went out of the house, he said with concern: "How do you feel?" Is it possible to be calm? ”
Wang 13 nodded again and again: "Yes, I don't know how good my temper is." How are you arranged, I even invited Master Bian to you, hurry up, hurry up, I'll go back when I'm done. ”
"Where to go back? You just stay here with peace of mind, your grandmother is also old, you were not there a few days ago, always talking about you, you can't do more filial piety in front of the old man? Jiang Xianyan glanced at him.
When he came back this time, Wang 13 kept his beard up according to his instructions, and covered his beard, it was not so easy to think of the Lu brothers from his appearance.
"That's not good, my daughter-in-law is still in Daliang, this time I came to help you, grandmother, you just have to rest assured, I can't kiss your son who picked it up halfway." He will not let go of every opportunity to stimulate Jiang Xianyan.
Jiang Xianyan sneered: "That's natural, grandson, grandson, many foreign words, the heart is so wild that you can't take it back." It was a good idea for me to ask you to stay, lest you go back to Daliang and hear those words that despise you and scold you, and you lose your mind and can't help but go crazy. ”
Jiang Xianyan's words were not made up out of thin air, Fu Chunniang and Wang Qi escorted Bian Qingchuan to Jiangfu, Wang Shisan naturally wanted to be warmly entertained, and carefully inquired about the situation of Liang and Wen Sheng during this time.
Fu Chunniang was worried about the old festival, and she intended to see Wang Shisan's jokes, so she didn't hide it at all, and learned the recent rumors about Wang Shisan and Wen Sheng in Daliang.
Wang Shisan has always had a big heart, and he doesn't care how others scold him, but this time, he got into the horns.
If it were anything else, it would be related to Wensheng, he had always had some inferiority complex in his heart, and felt that he was not worthy of the other party.
Fu Chunniang's eyes with three points of contempt and those words hit his heart like a sledgehammer, making him feel both aggrieved and frightened.
He desperately recalled the journey with Wen Sheng to cross the river, worship the moon platform and fight music, and go to Nanchong, is that so? The toad wanted to eat swan meat, and took advantage of the danger of others, Wen Sheng was forced to have no choice but to accept himself?
On the one hand, he felt that Wen Sheng should like herself, she didn't take secular etiquette in her eyes, and would never be wronged, but on the other hand, he faintly felt that if it wasn't a coincidence when she crossed the river, Yunlu stayed, then these good memories would not exist.
As a result, his "Tomorrow's True Scripture" went wrong that night, if it weren't for Yan Bai's action, maybe he would have gone mad.
Therefore, when Jiang Xianyan mentioned this, Wang 13 was dumbfounded, and said: "Don't talk about it, what kind of competition is there with you, anyway, I want to go back to Daliang early, you can do it." I'll go with my grandmother! ”
Jiang Xianyan looked at his generous back, angry and funny for a while.
These days, he has been preparing intensively, telling this kid that the plan will be launched in the first month, and the Taishi Wu Deshui and his henchmen will be wiped out, and this kid can't even wait for a month.
Wang 13 went to accompany Mrs. Jiang just under an excuse, he was caught by his grandmother and tried on new clothes for a year, and finally got out and went to the front yard.
It's almost the New Year in a flash.
The last Spring Festival was spent by Wen Sheng with him, and it was the happiest and most meaningful year in his life.
I don't know if she is doing well in Lishui, the more she gets to the New Year's Festival, the more she thinks about it, and she feels like an arrow.
Wang 13 talked nonsense with Wang Qi and others in the front yard, and made two more gestures, which restrained the inexplicable uneasiness, and even Wang Qi felt that he was wrong today, and said strangely: "Thirteen, are you growing grass under your buttocks, so unruly?" ”
While he was talking, Yun Lu hurriedly entered the door with a solemn expression, and greeted Wang Shisan: "Leave the water urgently, Miss Gu and Tan Mengzhou Shunjin Mountain Doule, there was an accident, and now life and death are uncertain, this is the letter she wrote to you before leaving, and Mr. Du also has a letter." ”
Separated from the water and Jiatong, the letter sent by Du Yuanpu has not arrived until now.
Wang Thirteen's expression changed greatly, Yun Lu only felt a flower in front of him, and the letter in his hand had been taken away by Wang Thirteen.
Wang Shisantie's face was blue, he lowered his head to open the letter, but his hands trembled so much that he couldn't open it after a long time.
Bian Qingchuan is not here today, and Yu Yu and Wen Sheng are not so close, although they are surprised, they are very eye-catching and do not rush to ask Yunlu what is the matter.
At this time, Wang Shisan finally opened the letter, he first read Wen Sheng's letter, and then looked at Du Yuanpu's explanation of the cause and effect, there was something in his heart, he didn't have time to read it carefully, he read it at a glance and ten lines, only to feel that his head was rumbling, his eyes were black, he didn't care about others calling him behind, he pulled his legs and left, and walked out of the gate of Jiangfu in a daze.
This is the street of Jiatong, some familiar, some unfamiliar.
The wind was strong and blowing his clothes, was it day or night?
Wang 13 grabbed the pages in his hand, walked blindly in a hurry, and somehow walked to the bottom of the bell and drum tower.
He pushed open the door of the building and walked in, and several soldiers came to inquire, but he grabbed the collar and threw it out.
There was no one else in the building, and Wang 13 slowly walked up to the third floor.
It's been a year, no one has come up, and the table in front of the window is still there. Wang 13 didn't care about the thick layer of ash on it, and sat directly on it, looking directly at the Shanglu Garden outside through the window.
After a while, he opened Wen Sheng's letter again, and this time he was mentally prepared, reading it word by word.
I don't know how many times he read it, he couldn't hold back any longer, and lay straight on the table, covering the letter over his face, and soon the thin letter paper was wet with tears.
God, why should this be?
Old thief Tan died when he died, why did he still take his Wensheng, such a good Wensheng, what should he do with this long life after calling him?
said that he lived and died together, without Wen Sheng, what is he still alive for?
No, no, he can't die yet, Wang Shisan sat up "Teng", Du Yuanpu also said, Tan Lao Thief will not force Wen Sheng to fight for no reason, who set up such a poisonous plan, who got the benefits?
The left and right are not surnamed Zhong, but those people in Baiyunwu.
Wang Shisan's eyes were bloodshot, and he clenched his fists desperately: The sky is above, if you don't take revenge, you won't be a man! Lao Tzu is just a rotten life, even if you break your bones and scatter ashes, you don't want to get it!
