Chapter 67: Jiang Cheng
The news of Xiao Feng's poisoning soon spread to the palace. The princess and Concubine Hua rushed over when they heard the news, and according to what Xiao Feng and the princess had discussed before, the princess coaxed the emperor over.
The group stood in the hall, and the imperial doctors changed one after another, and they were helpless.
The princess knelt before the emperor and cried very sadly.
"Father, you have to be the master of your sons! Find out the murderer and punish him severely! ”
"Okay, Ning'er, don't cry, my father will definitely make the decision for you! Someone's coming! Post the royal list and look for a famous doctor for detoxification. ”
"Thank you, Father!"
The princess got up and walked to Xiao Feng's side, she looked at Xiao Feng silently, Xiao Feng's face was pale and haggard, she thought silently in her heart: Brother Xiao, you must not be fine!
"Who poisoned the pony?"
"Back to the emperor, it's a woman, but she has escaped, and we are searching for her with all our might!"
"Inform the painter to draw a portrait of the woman, and the whole city is wanted."
"Yes!"
Soon, the woman appeared in the field of vision of the officers and soldiers under Xu Qingyun's arrangement.
"Your Majesty, I found it! She went to the ruined temple outside the city! ”
"What is she going to do there? Hurry up! ”
"Your Majesty, don't worry, she is not in a hurry to leave but goes to the broken temple, maybe she still has accomplices! Take me to see it! ”
Xu Qingyun was about to leave as he spoke, but the emperor suddenly stopped him.
"Wait, I'm going too, I want to see who is so bold as to poison the pony that I don't even take it seriously."
Saying that, the emperor and Xu Qingyun took the group to the broken temple.
"You're waiting outside!"
The emperor and Xu Qingyun quietly touched it, leaned on the window, and sure enough, they saw a woman and Ouyang Ye in the broken temple.
The woman asked Ouyang Ye out as planned, and guided him step by step to tell him about his crime.
"Young Master! I've been discovered, send me out! ”
The woman said in a panic.
"What are you afraid of! Is Xiao Feng dead? ”
"I put all the poison you gave me in his soup and gave him to drink, and he collapsed right then!"
"Okay, Satsuki, you've done a good job! I'll reward you well. ”
Ouyang Ye showed a fierce face.
"Come, come!"
The woman walked over stupidly, and Ouyang Ye stabbed her in the stomach.
"Why?"
The woman looked at Ouyang Ye in despair.
"Because you're useless!"
As he spoke, he pulled out his knife and opened the temple door.
When he looked up, he saw the emperor and Xu Qingyun surrounding him.
Ouyang Ye collapsed to the ground in fright.
Ouyang Ye was undoubtedly killed by the emperor on the charge of poisoning the horse. From then on, the Ouyang family also hated the emperor and the Xiao family, and vowed to take revenge.
Leng Xin naturally unveiled the emperor's list and detoxified Xiao Feng. The princess also returned to the Xiao Mansion, and life returned to its previous peace. But as the days passed, Xiao Feng's thoughts about Yuqing became stronger and stronger.
Winter is going to spring, and it's another year. The Siyu flowers in the garden have grown lush into a large patch.
"Brother Xiao, let's drink some water!"
Xiao Feng was busy in the garden, and the princess wiped his sweat for him.
Over the past year or so, the relationship between Xiao Feng and the princess has become closer and closer, but they have never crossed that line. The princess no longer asks for anything, maybe she and Xiao Feng don't need any husband and wife, and guarding Xiao Feng has become a habit for her.
Mu Qianshan stepped up the recruitment of troops and horses, hoarded grain and grass, the ranks of the fierce army grew bigger and bigger, and the poor land in the northwest could no longer accommodate so many officers and soldiers, so he finally decided to take the initiative.
"Qing'er! I have already discussed with all the generals and decided to attack Jiangcheng in the near future and recapture our hometown! ”
"Oh!"
Yuqing still likes to stand alone on the city wall and look into the distance.
Every time Mu Qianshan talked to her, she had this sullen expression, Mu Qianshan knew that she was thinking about Xiao Feng, which also inspired his determination to attack the imperial court.
Mu Qianshan led the fierce army by surprise and raided Jiangcheng. After several years of training, coupled with the hatred in his heart and the eagerness to return home, the fierce army was like a bamboo, and almost effortlessly took Jiangcheng.
Mu Qianshan walked up the city wall of Jiangcheng step by step, and the corpses under his feet were all over the place, and every time he went up the steps, the bloody footprints were deeply reflected on the steps, and the blood was red and black.
Mu Qianshan stood on the city tower, looking at the messy Jiangcheng, countless memories came to his heart, and the past was vivid, he clenched his fists, raised the long sword in his hand, and raised his arms and shouted.
"Jiang Cheng, I'm back with Mu Qianshan! Fathers and fellow villagers of Jiangcheng, I will avenge you! ”
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"
The soldiers and civilians of the city knelt down in unison, shouting loudly, shouting from the heart, after all, they hated the cruelty of the current emperor, and urgently needed a new emperor to lead them.
Mu Qianshan was called the emperor like this, everything was so natural, but it was in the plan.
He walked silently on the streets of Jiangcheng, everyone saluted him respectfully, he was a great hero of the entire Jiangcheng, he avenged the people of the entire Jiangcheng, especially the people who survived the massacre, and worshiped him as a god.
Suddenly, a woman knelt in front of him in front of him, and Mu Qianshan stopped.
"Girl, what's wrong with you?"
"Your Majesty, the slave's brother was brutally killed in the slaughter of the city. Slaves and maids can't take revenge for so many years, and their liver and intestines are broken. Now fortunately, the emperor has descended and laid down Jiangcheng, and the slaves and maids see that the emperor is wise and martial, and sooner or later he will be able to capture Chang'an. The slave wants to be your maidservant, take care of your diet and daily life, and help you win the world in one fell swoop. ”
The woman raised her head and explained the reason to Mu Qianshan. Her smart eyes blinked, and immediately attracted Mu Qianshan's attention, Mu Qianshan squatted down and looked at her delicate face.
"You don't have to be a slave, overthrow the court, it's my duty to kill the dog emperor, go back."
Mu Qianshan said to her gently, got up and prepared to leave, but the woman still knelt in place.
"Your Majesty, please promise me. I have no family anymore, and my only hope for life is revenge. ”
Mu Qianshan retreated after hearing this.
"You're the only one left in the house?"
"Hmm."
The woman nodded slightly, and her eyes moistened. Mu Qianshan looked at her pitiful appearance, and suddenly felt a little more pity in his heart.
"Alright! You will follow me from now on. ”
"Emperor Xie!"
The woman smiled and was overjoyed.
"What's your name?"
"Back to the emperor, the slave is called like snow."
"Okay, like snow, let's go!"
The woman got up and followed behind Mu Qianshan, with an evil smile on the corner of her mouth, completely different from Chu Chu's pitiful appearance just now.
Jiangcheng has changed hands, and all kinds of waste are waiting to be rebuilt. Mu Qianshan was diligent in government and loved the people, appeased the people, and built mausoleums for the dead relatives and the people of Jiangcheng, which won the hearts of the people for a while.
