Chapter 804: Extras (28)
The Great Yan Emperor Jiang Huaiying was self-established as the emperor, as early as Ningdong City held an enthronement ceremony and announced to the world, not comparable to the grass-headed emperor of the civil uprising, he called the emperor in the northeast, and then waved his army south to attack the An Dynasty, which is said to open up the territory and expand the territory, not to call rebellion.
When the Yan army attacked Anling City, most of the clan nobles in the city fled, but some did not run away. Emperor Yan did not shout and kill this group of people, but listened to Xue Rui's construction, confiscated half of their family property, and spared people's lives. At the beginning of the founding of the country, the treasury of Dayan was empty, which was just used to fill it, and it showed the magnanimity of the emperor.
Xue Rui was crowned King of Ping, and he held many positions at the same time, and he became the first person under the emperor's throne. Stripped off his armor and replaced with a brocade robe and jade crown, His Royal Highness King Ping, who restrained his murderous aura, was like a noble son with a jade tree in the wind, with a good demeanor and good temperament, except that his face was a little darker.
The hall sang and danced jubilantly, the seats were full, showing a staggered scene, but if you look closely, it is not difficult to find that the people and horses of the two dynasties are of different shapes, and the veterans who followed Emperor Yan to fight the country are naturally happy to drink without scruples, and the old ministers of Zhao'an are a little more cautious, and their expressions are not happy, but they dare not show a lot.
Empress Dowager Wei sat on the emperor's side, taking in these faces, and there was no lack of ridicule in her heart. You must know that their Jiang family has been loyal to the cold land in the northeast for a hundred years, and several generations have done their best to die, but in exchange for the defense and suspicion of Emperor Da'an, in the end, they even threatened the lives of their orphans and widows, delusional that the Jiang family would be captured, which is really chilling.
She has no regrets about instigating her son to compete for the world, otherwise today. What is the supreme honor.
Empress Dowager Wei drank a full bottle of wine, glanced at King Ping, who was surrounded by people to toast, and felt that it was a pity that a good son-in-law had no intention of her daughter, so she could only watch the cooked duck fly away.
She turned her head to look at the empty seat under her hand, and when she didn't see Jiang Huan, she frowned secretly, and beckoned the people from the palace under the corridor to step forward and whisper, "Did you send someone to call the eldest princess?" Why haven't you seen anyone coming? ”
At this celebration feast. As the only orthodox princess of the Dayan royal family, the emperor's own sister should appear in a beautiful manner and be admired. How can you be absent?
"Returning to the Queen Mother. The princess is not in the dormitory. Someone saw her go out of the palace, and she didn't know where she was going. ”
Empress Dowager Wei was displeased, and reprimanded in a low voice: "Didn't you let you take a good look at her." Why is it still out of Louzi. The palace people hurriedly knelt down to admit their mistakes, but Empress Dowager Wei didn't want to attract attention, so she waved her hand and let people retreat.
Xue Rui noticed this scene and found that Jiang Huan was absent, but she didn't take it to heart, just thinking that she was being temperamental again. Unexpectedly, before the banquet began, a fast horse drove out of the palace, carrying a fiery red figure, and galloped to the camp outside the city.
***
Yu Shu knew that there was a banquet in the palace tonight, and Xue Rui would not come back, so after dinner, he walked outside the tent to eliminate food.
The summer days are long, the sun has just set, the barracks are lit up with sparkling fires, and the breeze brings a faint fragrance of cooking. Recently, the troops stationed outside the city have been evacuated one after another, and they have returned to their guards, and the remaining 20,000 horses have stayed behind to defend Beijing.
There is a fence outside the big tent of the marshal camp, which surrounds several camp tents, and there is a team of personal soldiers patrolling back and forth around the fence, and there are two people on duty outside the marshal tent, and they are handed over once every two hours, so as to prevent idle people from snooping on the secrets of the army.
Yu Shu's residence was not far from Xue Rui's big tent, and there was only a fence in the middle, so in order to avoid suspicion, she walked around the bend and didn't sway there.
After living these days, she is either eating or sleeping all day, she is a little tired, but fortunately, in a few days, she can return to Beijing, otherwise if she stays any longer, her bones will be rusty.
Back in the tent, someone brought hot water, Yu Shu simply scrubbed, did not toss and wash his hair again, changed into a silk long skirt and rested. Because she slept lightly, the two maids closed the screen and quietly retreated outside to lay on the floor.
At night, there was silence inside and outside the camp, with the occasional cough or two.
Yu Shu slept a little unsteadily, half-asleep and half-awake, a scream pierced the night sky, she opened her eyes dimly, rubbed her forehead and sat up, and called the maid: "What about people?" Go out and see what's going on. ”
The maid obeyed, and after a while, she ran in in a panic, "Master, it's water, there's a big smoke outside, and the fire is not far away, so you can get up first." ”
At this time, the movement outside became louder, and the cries for help came one after another. Yu Shu put on his robe, walked to the door and looked, and saw a thick smoke not far from the west of the big tent, spreading by an east wind, and the tongue of fire was flying, and the fire was not small, as if there was a tent burning up.
The soldiers patrolling nearby all ran to put out the fire, and the people who were sleeping ran out, and there was a mess outside, and they couldn't take care of Yu Shu's side for a while.
"Master, what should we do, are we going to run?" Although the two maids were afraid, they did not forget to flee for their lives.
Yu Shu observed the direction of the wind, and in about half a moment, the smoke would blow over, even if the fire was extinguished, the smoke would smoke people to death, so he quickly put on his clothes, turned his head and ordered: "Take out my blanket, don't want anything else." ”
The maid hurriedly went in and rolled up her precious blanket, and followed her, and the three of them walked unhindered through the fence wall, and made a bend around the place where the fire had started, trotting all the way to the upwind direction to take refuge, and watching from a distance the soldiers fighting the fire came and went.
"Yu Lianfang."
A human voice sounded behind him, and the cold tone was like a sharp blade striking through the air, Yu Shu turned around suddenly, and saw a figure pacing out of the darkness more than a dozen steps away, and a raging flame in the distance illuminated her red shirt.
Yu Shu's eyes flickered, and she looked at the man walking towards her in shock.
"It turned out to be really you," Jiang Huan stopped in front of her, hooked her lips and sneered: "No wonder he has been hiding it, brother and sister incest, you did it." ”
Yesterday when she entered Beijing, the queen mother told her that Xue Rui had a crush on someone and asked for the emperor's brother's grace to marry, she just didn't believe it, and wanted to ask Xue Rui to understand, and when she killed him, she was shocked to hear that the woman he was hiding in the camp was Yu Shu, and it was really like a basin of cold water poured down on her head. Poured her to her senses.
She recalled that a few years ago, she was in the capital, and she saw that this pair of brothers and sisters with different surnames were close to each other, and it was clear that they were secretly Chen Cang on the plank road of Ming Xiu, and they had a personal affair for a long time, but she was kept in the dark like a fool, and it was only now that she woke up. It turns out that she has been waiting for all these years, and in the eyes of others, it is just a joke!
This is how she is not angry, how not to hate!
Yu Shu saw that her face was hideous. But they are not afraid. Asked her rhetorically: "Did you set fire to the camp late at night?" ”
"Hmph, he hid you tightly, if it weren't for this fire, how could he force you out." Jiang Huan made no secret of it. Generously admit it.
"I knew you were willful. It's been a long time. Increase. Yu Shu shook his head, "If the princess wants to see me, she just needs to pass it on." If you dare not see it, why bother so much. ”
"Haha," Jiang Huan lowered her head and smiled, holding one hand on her waist, the laughter fell to the ground, only to see a flash of silver light, she had an extra soft sword in her hand, stepped forward, pointed the sword at Yu Shu's throat, and when she looked up again, her eyes were full of fierce light-
"I saw you to kill you!"
The incident happened suddenly, the two maids were frightened, and wanted to call someone, but they were afraid that the sword would hurt the master without eyes, so they turned pale in a hurry, bit their lips and held back without shouting, the two turned their eyes, but saw that the master was calm, and did not retreat or flash.
"Kill me, do you think you'll be able to get it? For the sake of past friendships, I kindly advise you to say that the word marriage, you can't force it. "There is no need for Jiang Huan to explain, Yu Shu can guess why she wants her life, it is nothing more than lovesickness, love and hatred.
"When death is coming, you are still hard-mouthed, and I also look at the past friendship, so that you can die a happy death!" Jiang Huan's eyes burned with two flames, no more nonsense, with a flick of his wrist, the sword body vibrate, and with a flick, he was about to cut Yu Shu's throat.
"Humph!"
Between the lightning and flint, a soft snort suddenly came from her ears, with great disdain, Jiang Huan's hair exploded, only to feel a numb wrist, the five fingers involuntarily released, the soft sword in her hand turned strangely half a circle, away from the slender neck, stretched out a palm from behind her, two fingers into pincers, and firmly pinched the sharp tip of the sword.
Jiang Huan's eyes widened, and before she could react, another big hand stretched out from behind her back and locked her throat, and a strong sense of crisis hit her, making her unable to move.
Murderous!
"There are so many people who want to kill me, and if it were so easy for someone to get it, I would have died hundreds of times." Yu Shu brushed the hair that fell down on his forehead, raised his eyes to look at Jiang Huan, who was being captured, and chuckled, the tone was indescribably hateful.
"You-" Jiang Huan opened her mouth to speak, but the person behind her pinched her throat tightly, her neck flushed, she refused to give in, and shouted in a low voice: "I am Princess Dayan, you dare to touch me, believe it or not, I will let you be beheaded!" ”
"Oh, it's scary," Yu Shu stroked his chest, and there was the slightest look of being coerced by her on his face, "Gu Hong, you are lighter, and if you accidentally pinch Her Royal Highness the princess, I can't save you." ”
Behind Jiang Huan, there was a man in black who was half a head taller than her, stopping his sword with one hand and grabbing people with the other, imprisoning her in front of his chest. This person is the mysterious guard sent to Yu Shu by his only son Zhu Qingjue after Zhu Muzhao's death, a peerless master, unknown name, only the generation name "Gu Hong".
"Hmph." Gu Hong didn't say a word, and he didn't pay attention to Yu Shu, but his hand strength loosened a little, allowing Jiang Huan to take a breath and not suffocate to death.
"After a long absence, let's talk in a different place."
Yu Shu patted the two maids who had survived the catastrophe, walked in front to lead the way, and asked Gu Hong to "invite" Jiang Huan to a nearby unoccupied tent, and then assigned maids, one to guard outside, and one to inform Xue Rui's personal soldiers, saying that she caught the arson and immediately sent someone to invite Xue Rui back to the camp.
Lighting an oil lamp and putting it in front of the table, Yu Shu found a chair and sat down, looked up at Jiang Huan who looked angry, sighed, and said something: "I haven't slept well for half a month, so I'm waiting for you to come." ”
Xia Jiangmin once dreamed that after the Yan army broke through Beijing, someone dressed in red and killed her with a sword, which was a murder. Therefore, Yu Shu has not relaxed her guard since she entered the barracks, and the day before yesterday she vaguely calculated that she was going to be robbed today, so she sent a signal in advance to let Gu Hong ambush nearby, and sure enough, she waited for Jiang Huan to come.
Surprising and reasonable.
What gives her a headache now is what to do with Jiang Huan. After all, this is the current emperor's own sister, she can't fight or kill, and it's even difficult to get justice. But if she was to spare her so lightly, she was unwilling.
What's more, even if she spares Jiang Huan, Jiang Huan will definitely not let her go. (To be continued......)
