Chapter 152: The Prince Jumps Off the Cliff
"Your Highness may not die here. Zuo Jing said suddenly, "Does Your Highness remember what happened three years ago?"
"Three years ago?"
"After His Royal Highness came back from Mulan three years ago, he had a whim, saying that he wanted to make a kite that could make people fly, and His Highness just said it casually, but the minister was interested, and he had been thinking about how to make a kite that could make people fly all these years. Zuo Jing said.
"Yes, I did. Liu Changqing nodded and said, this idea was not a whim, but when he was in King Qi's Mansion, he once wanted to make such a kite.
"The minister made one of these kites, and he was here every day to test whether the kite could fly. Zuo Jing said.
Qi Du suddenly said, "Did that succeed?"
Zuo Jing shook his head: "It's not a success, this is just a new one, I originally planned to wait for the wind to come and see it!"
"You are confused, if you don't succeed, won't your Highness fall to your death!" Qi Du said disappointedly.
"It fell into the hands of Xie Di, and His Highness is also dead, why not give it a try? What if it succeeds?" Zuo Jing said.
"Don't say it. Liu Changqing said, "Even if it is to fall to death, it is better than to die at Xie Di's hands, this palace is willing to try once!"
"Follow me, the kite is ahead. ”
Then Zuo Jing dragged out a kite bigger than an adult in some bushes: "This is it!"
"Is there only one?" Liu Changqing asked, "How many people can bear the weight?"
"Alone. ”
"Then what are you going to do?" asked Liu Changqing.
"Your Highness, if you survive, remember to avenge us!" Zuo Jing said.
"The three of us said that we will live and die together, I can't leave you behind!" Liu Changqing said, "I won't leave either, let's stay together, and die together!"
"Your Highness, Xie Di is a scourge, right now Your Majesty is on the front line and doesn't know anything about things here, what if he wants to be unfavorable to Your Majesty?" Qi Du said, "For the sake of Northern Xia, for Your Majesty, Your Highness must live, understand?"
It was at this time that the wind rose.
Zuo Jing was overjoyed: "Your Highness, the wind is rising, Your Highness has seen it, even God is helping us! Your Highness, you will definitely survive, you must eradicate the scourge of Xie Di!"
He paused and said: "Your Highness, don't delay, it's too late, let's bet on this! Qi Du, come, this thing is very bulky, let's help His Highness!"
Liu Changqing also understood that if he continued to entangle, the three of them would really die here, so he bit his lip: "Okay, let's bet on this!"
Then the two fixed Liu Changqing on the kite and sent him to the edge of the cliff.
"Your Highness, are you ready?" asked Zuo Jing.
Liu Changqing looked at the clouds and mist under the cliff, took a deep breath, and nodded.
Zuo Jing and Qi Du glanced at each other, and then pushed Liu Changqing off the cliff with force at the same time, and he fell down quickly with the kite.
Qi Du asked worriedly, "Nothing is wrong, right?"
Zuo Jing shook his head: "Resign yourself to fate." ”
At this time, the pursuers had already caught up and completely surrounded the two.
Xie Di and Liu Cheng took the lead, they glanced at the two people on the edge of the cliff, and asked coldly: "The East Patrol Camp has rebelled, and we will come to the rescue, what about Your Highness?"
"Phew!" Qi Du scolded, "Rebels and thieves, you must not die well!"
"We will be waiting for you on Huangquan Road!" Zuo Jing said with a sneer.
Then Qi Du and Zuo Jing glanced at each other, and both jumped off the cliff.
The two of them were so resolute that Xie Di and Liu Cheng were taken aback.
"Two fools!" Liu Cheng said disdainfully, "Just now they saw Liu Changqing and the three of them coming in this direction, but now Liu Changqing's figure is gone, and this place is not suitable for hiding, is it that Liu Changqing is just afraid that he knows that he has no way to live, and he will inevitably fall into our hands and be insulted, so he jumped off the cliff himself?"
Xie Di was silent for a moment and said: "Come here, go to the bottom of the mountain to search, you want to see people alive, and you want to see corpses when you die! In addition, send a team of men and horses to search around! And on the way to the front line from here, we all send our people, if there are suspicious people who want to send news to the front line, they will all be killed!"
"Yes!"
North County Palace.
Liu Chengzhi went back proudly, and at this moment, Xie Yi was anxiously waiting for the news of wearing back outside.
"Princess Jun, this king is back!" Liu Cheng pushed the door in, "I see that your face is not good, it seems that you are worried about something, are you worried about this king? Could it be for Liu Changqing's kid?"
"I don't understand what you're saying. Xie said with a dodgy look.
"Don't you understand?" Liu Cheng untied the saber and said happily, "Then the king will tell you another piece of news, Liu Changqing is dead!"
Xie Yan's face changed, and he looked at Liu Cheng in shock: "What are you talking about?"
"Liu Changqing is dead, jumping off the cliff, and there are no bones!" Liu Cheng smiled, "Speaking of which, I still have to thank you, if you hadn't sent a message to Liu Changqing and asked him to kill the first of the East Patrol Camp by himself, our plan would not have been so smooth! I really didn't expect that kid to believe in you so much, you wouldn't have had some beginnings and ends between you a long time ago, right? But this is a mistake, you can be regarded as a great achievement, anyway, Liu Changqing is already dead, I won't care about you!"
Xie Yan's face turned pale, and his lips trembled and asked, "What do you mean?
"Since the princess said so, then I should say it well!" Liu Cheng approached Xie Yi and smiled coldly, "Didn't you think that if our plan failed because of your leak, then your eldest brother and your husband would all die without a place to be buried? If it weren't for the fact that you really didn't care about your husband and eldest brother for Liu Changqing's kid, our plan would have succeeded? You should reflect on yourself!"
Liu Cheng looked at Xie Yan's miserable face, raised his eyebrows and smiled, clamped her neck, and said coldly: "Now that Liu Changqing is dead, you will follow me wholeheartedly, and your glory and wealth are indispensable, if you have two hearts, don't blame this king's subordinates for being ruthless!"
Xie Yan looked at Liu Cheng resentfully, and slapped him: "You are plotting to kill the prince, you are shaking the foundation of Northern Xia, you are sinners through the ages!"
Liu Cheng touched his face, slapped it back, glared at Xie Yan and sneered: "Prince? He's just an unidentified wild seed! What this king is doing now is to maintain the bloodline of Northern Xia, and it is for the sake of Northern Xia! Xie Co., don't be ashamed, you just have a good reflection here, and you will understand, this world is only counted by the winner!"
Subsequently, Liu Cheng went out and put Xie Comet under house arrest and prevented her from leaving the house for half a step, and he still had a lot to do, and it was time for those talkative ministers to scare her.
Inside the Royal Palace.
Xie Xuan nervously hugged the little prince, waiting for the news to come.
At this time, the palace people reported that the uncle of the country was here, it seemed that the matter had been successful, her face showed great joy, kissed the child in her arms, and said: "Yu'er, in the future, you will be the prince of Northern Xia!"
After a while, he saw Xie Di striding in, hugged his fists and said: "The minister has fulfilled his mission and has taken down all the murderers who assassinated the prince." ”
"What about the crown prince?" Xie Xuan asked.
"The murderer was so fierce that he forced the prince to jump off the cliff and die. Xie Di said lightly, "Now that the prince has an accident, the identity of the mother is **, and she should be in charge of the next things." The edict is to summon all the ministers into the palace to discuss the assassination of the crown prince!"
"Okay, this palace will go and make an order. Xie Xuan said, his eyes rolled slightly, "What about the third sister, is she okay?"
"Third sister?" Xie Di sneered, "In the future, it will be better if we don't have this sister." ”
Xie Xuan probably guessed what was going on after a little thought, and without saying anything, he immediately issued an edict for the ministers to enter the palace to discuss matters.
Mulan, the royal palace.
At this time, the news of the mystery of the prince's life in Northern Xia also came back to Mo Ziyu, and she was naturally very worried. If Liu Xu was in Beijing at this time, she would naturally not be worried, because no matter what happened, Liu Xu would definitely not allow anyone to hurt him.
It's just that even if Liu Xu knows the news of the capital, he can't get out of the battlefield and leave, and this time there have been a lot of rumors about the prince's life history before his private morality, presumably this is all together, and it is planned by people with ulterior motives in the back, so will Changqing be able to survive this time?
"Your Majesty is concerned about the affairs of the Prince of Northern Xia, right?" the matchmaker said, "The news just came, the Prince of Northern Xia has suppressed the news, Your Majesty doesn't have to worry about him, these things must be handled by him alone." What's more, Liu Xu will also leave a reliable helper for him, and there will be no problems. ”
"After all, he is still young, and he is facing a group of scheming people, so no one can say what the result will be. Mo Ziyu sighed softly, "Let the people of Qingguang Pavilion continue to pay attention to the news of the Northern Xia Imperial Capital, and if there is any new news, report immediately." ”
"Yes. The matchmaker nodded and said, after a pause, she continued, "Judging from the current situation, Your Majesty's previous judgment is correct, the Southern Chu and Western Wei alliances seem to be huge, but the Southern Chu and Western Wei do not really believe in each other, so after a period of attrition, this morale is not as good as before, if it continues like this, Northern Xia should win." ”
"The premise is that nothing happens in the Northern Xia Dynasty that affects the morale of the Northern Xia army. Mo Ziyu said, "At present, the prince's life experience has no impact on the military spirit of Northern Xia. Wait a little longer and see where things go next. ”
Nanchu, inside the barracks.
"Your Majesty, the eldest prince has broken out of the encirclement. "But he was also seriously injured." ”
"What about the casualties?" asked Qi Zi.
"Nearly 30,000 people were killed or wounded. Hao Ding sighed, "Before, His Majesty told me not to be greedy for merit or to rush forward, but the eldest prince didn't believe it, he was greedy for merit and recklessly, and fell into the trap of Northern Xia, with heavy casualties. ”
"As the great prince of the Western Wei Dynasty, he has always refused to accept that I am the commander of these two armies, so he has always wanted to make miraculous achievements and give me a disadvantage. Qi Zi said lightly, "However, Liu Xu used troops strangely, he never found a chance, so this time he finally picked up a flaw, how can he give up? ”
"It is precisely because of this that the Western Wei people have a great opinion of us, and their casualties are greater than ours, so they feel that they are charging in front, and we are taking credit in the back. Hao Ding sighed, "The two armies have clashed more than once because of these things, and if it goes on like this, I'm afraid that the rift between Southern Chu and Western Wei will get bigger and bigger, how can we continue to fight side by side when the time comes?"
"What the eldest prince wants is the position of commander, if I don't give him this position, he will definitely not obediently obey my orders, and he will also encourage the Western Wei to continue to conflict with Southern Chu. Qi Zi touched his chin, his eyes narrowed slightly, "It's not that I'm greedy for the position of the commander, it's just that the eldest prince is stubborn and self-serving, if he is the commander, how can he be the opponent of the treacherous and cunning Liu Xu?"
"If we let the Western Wei continue to stay, they will only be our internal trouble, if we let the Western Wei retreat, our Southern Chu will have a real fight with the Northern Xia!" Hao Ding said, "The subordinates don't believe it, we really can't beat the Northern Xia!"
"It's not that I'm growing up the prestige of others, and Nan Chu is indeed not the opponent of Northern Xia, there is no doubt about it. Qi Zi said lightly.
"It's not good to go in, it's not good to retreat, so what should I do?" Hao Ding said.
"Don't worry, there is a big unstable factor in the rear of Northern Xia, as long as the ** is detonated, the military heart of Northern Xia will be chaotic, and Liu Xu will not be able to retreat at that time, and he will not be able to achieve victory in a short time, he can't take care of both ends, and he will only be defeated!"
"It turns out that Your Majesty still has a back hand!" Hao Ding said, "In this case, we only need to consume with the Northern Xia Army now?"
"Hmm. Mi Zi nodded, "You go down first, and you are instructed to go down, and there must be no conflict with the soldiers of the Western Wei Dynasty, and there will be no forgiveness for violators!"
"Yes!"
Although Mi Zi is quite confident about the war at the moment, it is not without worry, that is, the news that came not long ago that the newborn little prince was taken by the queen to raise.
Although he believes that with Sun Pingling here, there will be no chaos, but he can't help but be a little worried, Liu Xu's harem hides thunder, why not his own harem? I just hope that Qian Yan is not crazy, can take care of the overall situation, and don't do anything foolish!
