Chapter Thirty-Eight: Get a Head for the Princess
Everyone left the official road and found a hidden cave in the middle of nowhere, Xu You said to the stunned sting: "Give you an hour, about the six days, everything he knows, I want to know everything!" ”
He has been a pirate for many years, proficient in torture, and is not under the winter solstice, so he smiled when he heard this: "Don't worry, Lang Jun, I can even ask you how old his broken body is!" ”
He Jie, who tied his hands, was full of panic, struggling to speak, but was stung and stabbed on the mouth, his cheeks suddenly swollen into a small mountain bag, and the corners of his lips were bleeding, rolling into the dust and mud, looking embarrassed.
"Go, let Ye Ye serve you well! Let's see what kind of wolf-hearted and dog-minded people can do those evil things that are not as good as pigs and dogs! ”
At the beginning of the robbery of the beloved, Wei Du was ambushed, and He Jie was exiled to Ningzhou because of the "Eight Discussions", and then escaped with the assistance of six days. When Du Mingyu attacked Huiji County, He Jie led the white thief to deceive the gate of He's Wubao, which directly led to the tragedy of He's Manmen being killed.
Such a person is very suitable to describe with the words "lost conscience, pigs and dogs are not as good"!
A moment later, a terrible scream rang out from the cave. Zuo Yan sighed, he has always disliked torture, depriving a person of his physical freedom, destroying his sense of resistance, and then relying on all kinds of inhumane torture to get what he wants in the end, which is too against heaven and harmony, but He Jie's hands are stained with the blood of countless women from good families, and it is not too much to kill a hundred times, so he will let it go.
Qingming just quietly stayed behind Xu You, as if he had never heard the screams in the cave, calm and indifferent. For him, life or death itself has no meaning, what is meaningful is the interesting or uninteresting experience between life and death. The torture of He Jie was a boring experience, and he didn't care about it or care about it.
Wu Shan and the others were very curious, and tiptoed into the cave from time to time to see how the stings tortured people. There is a cooked copper stick in the cang, and the neck is about to stretch into a strong deer, but unfortunately there is a corner in the hole, which is not real.
It only took half an hour for the sting to dig up all the inside stories that He Jie knew, and then reversed the order, asked questions repeatedly, and confirmed each other before and after, confirming that he was not lying.
An hour later, the stunned sting came out of the cave with a smug smile on his face, and said, "Fortunately, I am not dishonored!" ”
Xu You nodded and said, "Okay!" Then he looked at the eager eyes of the subordinates and said with a smile: "Go ahead, you have a long experience!" ”
Cang took the lead in rushing in, and when he saw He Jie, he was completely paralyzed into flesh, and there were no obvious scars on his body, but his saliva and snot flowed, and his eyes were blank and scattered.
"Awesome!" Wu Shan followed in, couldn't help but touch Yan Yang's shoulder, and said, "How long do you think you can hold on?" ”
"It's hard to say!" Yan Yang was a little dumbfounded, and replied honestly: "Maybe an hour?" You know me, I'm not afraid of death, I'm just a little bit of an itch......"
Everyone laughed, He Jie was awakened by the laughter, curled up in fright, hugged his head and screamed: "I said, I said, don't fight, don't fight!" ”
Li Mu spit out at him, and said disdainfully: "Except for his family background, he is just a spineless soft egg." Think about the girls who were sold to Wei by you, they were tortured a thousand times more than you, and who would pity them? ”
Outside the cave, the stunned sting whispered to Xu You the secret of the six days confessed by He Jie, and said: "Xudu Mountain is in the northern land, the root of dead qi, the mountain is 2,600 miles high, and the circle is 300 miles. There are the palaces of ghosts and gods above and below, called six palaces, one palace is thousands of miles around, respectively, the Heavenly Palace of Absolute Yin, the Heavenly Palace of Luo Killing, the Heavenly Palace of Mingwu, the Heavenly Palace of Zhaosin, the Heavenly Palace of Siwan and the Heavenly Palace of Seven Non-Heavens. Du Mingyu is the god of the Seven Non-Heavenly Palace, Xing Six, He Jie and others call it the little god, and he has a very high reputation in the sect. This Yangzhou rebellion was led by the Seven Non-Heavenly Palaces alone, and they planned it single-handedly, and the other palaces only assisted secretly, and did not directly send people to participate in the ......"
"Do you know the identities of the other five gods?"
"Between the six palaces, the boundaries are strict, He Jie ranks second among the ten generals under Du Mingyu, second only to the great general Chiba, but he also knows very little about the other six palaces, only knows that the five heavens are the only girl in the six heavens, and it seems that he has a secret affection with Du Mingyu......"
Luo Luo always said a lot of top-secret insiders, Xu You finally had a general understanding of the six days, no longer as black as before, there was always a sense of powerlessness that rats pulled turtles and couldn't start.
The sunset in the distance is falling down the West Mountain, after two years of baptism, the young man standing with his hands is upright, more and more handsome and bright, from the side, it is contaminated by the red glow like a peach blossom blooming, revealing an indescribable charming charm.
Silent for a long time.
"Lang Jun, what should He Jie do? Will it be brought back to Wu County, or will it be arranged separately? Zuo Yan asked.
"The rice grain in Jiangdong does not raise such beasts!" Xu You stood with his hands in his hands and said lightly: "Kill him, send someone to give the head to Zhu Zhi, don't say anything, he knows what to do!" ”
Zuo Yan's heart was slightly cold, and he involuntarily bowed and said, "No! ”
Zhu Zhi didn't expect Xu You to give him such a big gift not long after he left the city, and immediately found a heart and abdomen, soaked the human head into a black box after embalming, and then sent it to Jinling with a fast horse day and night.
"Be sure to hand it over to the princess of the champion, just say...... It is said that Qiantang Xu You chased and killed He Jie in the chaotic army, and was almost seriously injured, this feat of loyalty to the monarch and the country, just to solve the princess's worries, can be called an example for the ministers. ”
Xu You originally planned to give Zhu Zhi a favor, but for An Yuxiu, He Jie's head was even more valuable than Du Mingyu. Unexpectedly, Zhu Zhi played Tai Chi and took advantage of the situation to push him in front of An Yuxiu. The ambiguity when they were in Qiantang has made the relationship between the two very complicated, so I don't know how An Yuxiu thinks about it, but Xu You can't help but want to scold his mother!
Back in Wu County, Xu You still closed his door and refused to meet guests, as if the low-key one did not exist. After more than ten days in this way, the imperial court began to reward the meritorious ministers who pacified the white thieves, from Xiao Yushu down, all of them were added to the rank of knight, and countless people were thus on the rise, and they became famous, completing the road of official career that could not be completed for decades in the peaceful season.
For example, Zhu Zhijia Guanglu Doctor, Guannei Hou, Zhendong General, Jiangzhou Assassin History, Governor Jiangzhou Military, and finally became a feudal official. Gu Yunyin had just been promoted, and although he had meritorious service in supplying military supplies in the rear, he only added the rank of free cavalry attendant and Guangwu general, and remained as the Taishou of Wu County. However, anyone with a discerning eye knows that Gu Yun is young, "both civil and military", and a dignitary of Tsinghua University, and when the performance appraisal period expires, he will be able to soar to the sky, and his future is immeasurable.
Xiao Yushu was then impeached for killing the leading general, supervising the army and the imperial history of the cause of death is suspicious, governing the army and killing people, and the emperor is like a cow and horse.
Perhaps, this is just a tragedy in the eyes of others!
"Weizhi, I haven't seen you for a long time, are you okay?"
Meng Xingchun's visit, Xu You was not surprised, after seeing the ceremony, he asked with a smile: "Fake Zuo, oh no, listen to Gu Fujun, you have now been promoted to the Crouching Tiger Division, congratulations!" ”
"Well said, well said!" People are in good spirits on happy occasions, Meng Xingchun's city is strict, but many years of long-cherished wishes have finally come true, and he still can't help but show an excited look, and said: "If it weren't for Weizhi's help, I wouldn't have been able to rescue the champion princess from the besieged Qiantang City, and I would like to thank Weizhi for that!" ”
"It's hard to talk about!" Xu You said a few more polite words, seeing that the atmosphere was quite harmonious, he asked tentatively, "Is there good news for doing this?" ”
Meng Xingchun said with a smile: "That's natural, in a few days, the imperial court will give amnesty to the world, and the things that Weizhi has before are among the pardons, and the lord's intention is to include the Xu family in the scholarly register again." ”
Xu You was overjoyed and said, "Sure enough, it's good news." ”
"However, some people in the DPRK and China objected, saying that Xu's rebellion case was implicated too much, and he took the liberty of counter-terrorism and caused a boiling of material discussion." Meng Xingchun looked apologetic and said: "So I can only compromise for the second door, it is difficult to restore the glory of the former Huamen, and I don't mind if I want to be small......"
The second gate is also a low-level scholar, and the people who oppose it are nothing more than the prince's line, which is all expected. Xu You Zhengse said: "I can rely on the Lord's Long's grace from the body of sin, the people of the family, and the position of the scholar clan, all thanks to the Lord's grace, how dare I dare to mind it?" ”
"That's good, I already know that Wei Zhi is a person, and he is the most reasonable, so it is better to go back to Jinling to return to the princess!" Meng Xingchun nodded quietly, he was entrusted by An Yuxiu to report to Xu You, otherwise the imperial court's plan has not yet been announced to the public, and under normal circumstances, it must not be publicized without authorization.
Xu You nodded, indicating that he understood. This time to be able to relist the second door, An Yuxiu must have made a great effort in Jinling, but this kind of thing can be understood by heart, and it cannot be declared.
"Besides, does Micro have the idea of joining the office?" Meng Xingchun smiled and asked, "Don't worry too much, I'm just curious." This time Yangzhou put down the turmoil, Wei Zhi first preferred to die rather than lose the festival, and then saved the princess many times, and then poured out all the family property, with military supplies, but also offered a thunder cannon, broke the city of Qiantang, General Xiao's performance to you as the first merit of the thief, if you are into the office, the court will never be stingy with the official......"
Xu You's heart is like a mirror, Meng Xingchun came to visit Wu County this time, firstly, on the order of An Yuxiu, to tell him the good news of the Chonglie clan in advance, and also to express his apologies for failing to perfectly restore the identity of the Xu family's Huamen; Second, it was to probe Xu You's tone for the imperial court to see if he intended to make a comeback.
"General Xiao praised it falsely, I just did my best, how can I talk about the first merit of the thief? As for entering the office, my temperament is understood, and I have been accustomed to the comfortable life of the crane in Qiantang, if I enter the career, I can't help myself, and I travel all over the country, it is really unbearable to part, or thank you for not being sensitive! ”
"Okay, I know Weizhi's true heart. If you have any other requests, you can also ask me. ”
"Can you mention anything?"
Meng Xingchun's eyes gathered slightly, and he smiled: "Of course! ”
"Jingyuan was burned by the fire, and there were no tiles left, and I suddenly lost my place in Qiantang. If I can say a few beautiful words, please give me Mingyu Mountain, so that I can have a home and a place to stay. ”
"That's it?" Meng Xingchun was stunned, it wasn't that Xu You's request was excessive, Ming Yushan was banned by Chashan of Sili Mansion because of Guo Mian's out, and it became the emperor's internal government asset, and it was impossible to give it to others when he was idle. But Xu You made a great contribution, and he used a mere Mingyu Mountain as compensation, which was really wronged!
Xu You laughed and said, "Yes, Ming Yushan!" ”
