Meng Jiu stood on a small cliff in the distance.

The sea breeze blew, his robe flew up, and his figure became even thinner.

But his eyes were full of murderous intent.

Many years ago, he served by King Wu's side. It was he who pulled King Wu to grow up.

At that time, the first emperor was still there, and the world may not be very peaceful, but it was not chaotic to the point where it is now, in short, Meng Jiu was doing well when he was by King Wu's side.

He had studied in the inner study hall and excelled in his studies. If you weren't a eunuch, maybe you could take the Jinshi exam. But at that time, he didn't have such great ambitions, so he thought that it would be good to wait for King Wu to become a vassal, and to live a peaceful and stable life.

Later, King Wu grew older day by day, but he refused to go to the domain. Meng Jiu knelt in front of him and cried and begged for a long time, but finally failed to convince him to change his mind.

Later, King Wu died, and Meng Jiu was exiled for the rest of his life......

There are very few people in this world who have a personal enmity with Emperor Yanguang Zhou Zhang, and Meng Jiu is counted as one.

Of course, if it weren't for the situation of the Chu Dynasty, a eunuch who was exiled would not be able to shake the Son of Heaven of the Ninety-Five Emperor in the slightest way.

But the world is impermanent, and life is unpredictable. Ideas Chinese the fastest www.@@slzww@@.com network

Today, Meng Jiu pursued Zhou Zhang so far, and he also saw Wang Xiao.

If he met at another time, he might have a chat with Wang Xiao, but not today, he would kill Zhou Zhang today.

When Tang Jie led the troops to make a detour and raid, Meng Jiu also ordered people to bypass from the other side.

Taking advantage of the Tang Festival to attract the attention of the Chu army, the two thousand people had rushed to the vicinity, and they did not go to fight with the Xuanda officers and soldiers, and began to dig the ship with all their strength when they arrived at the side of the ship.

Meng Jiu saw things clearly, and knew that the few soldiers of Chu would not be able to win, and if he wanted to escape today, it was nothing more than to sail away.

If the boat is scuttled, Zhou Zhang will die.

As for whether Wang Xiao surrendered or what, he was detained.

Meng Jiu is much more neat and tidy than Tang Jieke......

~~

"Kill!"

"Protect Your Majesty's ......"

"Bang ......"

In the sound of killing and fire, the sea water below the ship was already blood-red.

For a time, many people threw their bodies under the boat and floated around the ship with the waves.

This group of Swiss soldiers was obviously a dead soldier, only a few of them protected their comrades to fight with the Chu army, but most of them kept holding knives and slashing on the ship's board.

Finally, the sound of cracked wood sounded, and the ship sank down little by little.

"Qin Xuance! You come to that ship and drop anchor! Wang laughed and shouted.

"Let's go!"

A loud shout sounded, but it was Sun Baigu who rushed over to this side.

He was heavily armoured, and half of his body was immersed in the sea.

The wounds all over his body were extremely painful when they encountered salt water, and everyone else screamed, but Sun Baigu didn't have any pain on his face, he just shouted: "Open the boat!" ”

Wang Xiao This is the first time he has seen Sun Baigu.

He remembered that he had written a letter to the other party, persuading him to give up Xuanda and return to Jingshi.

Sun Baigu is here now, and he has given up far more than just a Xuanda, presumably his reputation for a lifetime. At the same time, he also betrayed many of his colleagues and comrades.

For a while, Wang Xiao was in a trance and couldn't see through why he was doing this, like Tang Jie couldn't see through why those Chu ministers were martyred.

Are those people for personal gain and fame? Apparently not quite.

Wang Xiaoxin once said that "when this crisis is in this situation, the social student Li is the governor and the commander is in a thought", but now, as soon as the two meet, they have no time to greet each other, and there is no time to discuss countermeasures.

There was only one sentence of "sail the boat", and this sentence instantly buried the lives of all those who did not get on the boat.

"Protect Your Majesty!"

Sun Baigu shouted again, and led his men and horses to meet the Swiss army and killed.

That was his last word.

Over there, Qin Xuance was extremely brave, climbed onto another sea ship, threw the anchor hard, and hooked Wang Xiao's boat.

Over there, Wang Xiao was also very decisive, and ordered several shells to be fired in a row, so that the sea ship shook and was slowly pulled.

But their courage and determination suddenly seemed to lose color compared to Sun Baigu's desolation.

……

The ship slowly left, and after a while, many corpses floated on the surface of the sea.

There is no Sun Baigu.

His armor was too heavy to float......

On the sea, the sound of the cannon ordered to be fired when Wang Xiao left seemed to be still echoing.

There is no cannon salute in this age.

If so, it is probably his last memorial service for Sun Baigu.

Perhaps many years later, people who don't know the inside story will talk about this story again, and they will say that the prince of Dachu, Shaobao, and the governor of Xuanda's military food and salary department, Sun Baigu, died in battle to protect the emperor, and the Marquis of Huaiyuan fired a cannon to show his respect, and since then there has been a roaring cannon salute.

Some people may also say that Sun Baigu's loyal ministers and righteous festivals are not inferior to Lu Xiufu.

But in short, the rise and fall of the ages is just a "thought" of many people......

~~

On the sea, the rickety boat was repaired and the stagnant water was scooped away.

Wang Xiao looked at it and glanced at the people who had been rescued.

The nobles in the palace, the ministers of civil and military affairs, and the soldiers of Xuanda, there were about 1,000 people who were rescued.

In addition to Emperor Yanguang, it is not uncommon for Chen Yuanyuan to be in the imperial car, and there is actually Mama Lu next to Chunning, and I don't know what to do in the emperor's car......

As for the important ministers in the back, Zuo Jinglun, Bian Xiuyuan, and Gao Chengyi ...... Well? accidentally rescued He Liangyuan.

Although Wang Xiao didn't like He Liangyuan very much, at this moment, perhaps because he had just returned from the Liaodong battlefield, he actually felt a little kind inexplicably.

In the face of these people, Wang Xiao naturally had a lot to ask.

He first walked to Zuo Jinglun.

Zuo Jinglun was extremely tired at this time, he was old, and he had been galloping on his horse for two or three days, and it was extremely rare to be able to hold on until now.

Wang Xiao looked at Zuo Jinglun, full of questions, and didn't know how to speak for a while.

He opened his mouth and closed it again, and after doing so a few times, he heard Zuo Jinglun sigh: "Don't worry, don't worry, your people should be fine......

The next moment, Qin Xuance, who was drenched all over, fell on the deck with a "bang", but he jumped from another sea.

He rushed to Zuo Jinglun quickly, and asked urgently: "Lord Zuo, is Mingxin okay?" ”

Zuo Jinglun is worthy of being an important minister, and at this time, he can still take a tone, stroke his long beard, and say in a slightly scolding tone: "Call grandfather." ”

Qin Xuance was stunned.

"Grandfather ......"

After Zuo Jinglun told the details, Wang Xiao felt a little relieved, and went to see Emperor Yanguang again.

Originally, out of the battlefield, he should have come to meet the emperor first. But...... He doesn't care about any of that.

~~

In the cabin, Emperor Yanguang sat there with his body bent, looking out the window, not knowing what he was thinking.

Mama Lu and Chen Yuanyuan on the side were looking at him, with a little vigilance in their eyes.

At this time, if Emperor Yanguang still has something to guard against, it may only be because he has the will to die.

"Father."

Emperor Yanguang slowly turned his head, looking a little pitiful and a little terrifying.

Wang Xiao also has a lot to say to him, and he also has a lot of things to say to Wang Xiao.

But when the words came to their mouths, the two of them still didn't know how to speak.

On second thought, the matter has come to this point, in fact, it is okay not to say it.

After being quiet for a long time, Emperor Yanguang sighed and said, "It's okay to come back...... It's good. ”

With that, he turned his head again and looked at the north, and the capital, courtiers, and people that originally belonged to him were getting farther and farther away.

"Father, relax, take a rest first, and you will get better." Wang smiled.

"It's going to get better?" Emperor Yanguang smiled contemptuously, and there was some sarcasm in his voice, "Do you know how Zhou Mei and Zhou Yan treated me? If it weren't for your backing, would they dare? ”

The words that he didn't want to say blurted out again, and Emperor Yanguang himself felt a little bored.

Reduced to this, it would only seem inferior to say anything more, and he closed his eyes again.

"Don't be angry, father, I'll go back and talk about the princess, and let her make amends to my father. How can a family have a hurdle that they can't pass. ”

Emperor Yanguang was stunned.

This kind of family and country affairs that forced the palace coup d'état, from this kid's mouth, it was like a trivial matter in the family of ordinary people, which made him a little speechless for a while.

"So, you're still faithful?" It's still a mocking tone.

"If you dare not be loyal, your sons will definitely be filial." Wang smiled and responded.

'Faithful,' he asked himself if he could do it. But filial piety, take good care of the old man, and then coax and deceive the old man's mood, it is understandable.

"The emperor should rest at ease first, rest his body, and let His Royal Highness return to you when you get to the south, and then regroup and recover the rivers and mountains......"

Even if that's the case, the weight that comes out of Wang Xiao's mouth is different.

Although Emperor Yanguang couldn't believe it, his nervous nerves were still slightly relaxed.

Over there, Wang Xiao arranged for someone to lay out the futon again, and let people help Emperor Yanguang to lie down.

Fleeing from displacement for more than half a month, it is rare to be wrapped in a soft futon in a safe environment, Emperor Yanguang still wants to resist, but his body can't help but can't get up.

The ship swayed, and the old man who had lost his country was like a child, unable to make decisions about everything, and could only sigh. Genius)

After a long time, he finally fell into a deep sleep.

Wang Xiao exited the cabin, and Mama Lu followed, and said in a low voice: "Master Ma, the old slave came on the order of the princess, and you must be optimistic about Your Majesty......"

"I know, you've done a good job, and you're rewarded for it."

Hearing this, Mama Lu was overjoyed when she opened her mouth.

Just now she heard Wang Xiao say that she wanted to return to His Majesty or something, so she was startled, and at this time, she was sure that the horse was really still on the princess's side.

Wang Xiao turned his head to look at it a few times, and saw that the few remaining guards around Emperor Yanguang were all fresh faces, so he asked, "...... these people?"

Mama Lu said in a low voice: "Don't worry, don't worry, these are the henchmen of the queen mother and Her Royal Highness the princess." ”

A mysterious and smug look.

- Okay, this daughter-in-law and mother-in-law have put the old father-in-law in the air.

Wang Xiaowei was a little speechless, but asked: "There are also a few eunuchs around my father who are familiar with me, what about the prince of Dongchang, Liu An, and Wang Xian?" ”

"The prince is by the side of His Royal Highness the King of Qi, and the other eunuchs around His Majesty have been transferred by Niangniang, and in this war, the old slaves don't know where they went."

"Okay."

Wang Xiao was a little regretful, and then saw Chen Yuanyuan push open the door and come out, and looked over here.

"What's the matter with Miss Chen?"

Chen Yuanyuan lowered his head, as if he was a little embarrassed.

Wang Xiao thought she had something important to say, but after a while, she heard her whisper: "Dare to ask...... Do you have...... Food? ”

Wang Xiao only thought at this time that they had been running for their lives for so long, and they were afraid that they were already hungry.

"Well, I was negligent......"

~~

After arranging Emperor Yanguang's side, Wang Xiao went to see Gao Chengyi again.

Gao Chengyi is different from other generals under Wang Xiao, he does not have any heart to serve the country, and only thinks about climbing up and making a fortune. This time, I followed out of Beijing, in fact, I wanted to cling to the King of Qi and seek a merit from the dragon.

To this day, many people do not think that the Chu Dynasty is going to die, it is nothing more than like the Song Dynasty to the south for more than a hundred years, Gao Chengyi thinks so.

When Sun Baigu chose to break through from the East Road, Gao Chengyi thought that he had made a great contribution. Later, when he found out that King Qi did not come with him, and there was only one Emperor Yanguang here, he was so depressed that he wanted to faint.

If Wang Xiao hadn't arrived in time today, Gao Chengyi would probably have surrendered at this time.

But when Wang Xiao came, the situation was very different. This Huaiyuan Marquis now gives people a feeling that "if you follow him, you can make contributions".

Here, Wang Xiaozai carefully asked Gao Chengyi about the strength and battle situation of the Chu army and the Swiss army, and then deduced it on the map.

Gao Chengyi looked at it, and saw that Wang Xiao had already scratched his fingers on the map, and he was silently reciting something in his mouth, and that determination was completely different from when he was in the capital.

After a while, Wang Xiao pointed a little heavier on the map, and said slowly: "Big brother, they should cross the Yellow River here, and their troops are still dangerous to deal with King Wu Yan...... We went to support them. ”

Gao Chengyi looked at it, and felt that Hou Ye was so murderous.

But as soon as he was distracted, he didn't see clearly what Wang was laughing at, and then he was stunned for a moment, and thought to himself: "We? How many of us are there? ”

But looking at the resolute look in Wang Xiao's eyebrows, for some reason, he blurted out: "The last general's order!" ”

Wang Xiao turned his head to look at him, very inexplicable.

"Don't worry, I haven't ordered it yet......"
