Chapter 121: Seizure of power
Lian Zhi'er looked at King Yan Cheng, "No one taught me, I'm just afraid that my uncle will be blinded by the interests in front of me." ”
"Presumptuous." King Yan Cheng scolded coldly, "Even if the Shuolang Department smuggles grain and grass and colludes with the Central Plains, can a few truckloads of things still be able to defeat this king?" ”
The people around him were all drunk, and someone said with an arrogant face, "Who is the prince, are you still afraid that those shafts in Shuolang will not succeed?" ”
"That is, the prince can fight into the capital in a few days, and now who in Beiliang does not admire your great achievements, who dares to rebel?"
Lian Zhi'er knew that King Yan Cheng used to be such a wise person, but now he was blinded by these people.
Mrs. Mei saw that Lian Zhi'er was going to disrupt this marriage, so she snorted coldly, "The county lord is only afraid of a good calculation, it can be described as killing two birds with one stone, not only can ruin the marriage, but also can get rid of the regent in the capital by the hand of the prince, which is really powerful." ”
Seeing everyone like this, Lian Zhi'er sneered, "If it wasn't for my uncle who took advantage of me, how could I enter the capital like this?" Could it be that my uncle didn't know how powerful Ruan Lu was, or didn't know how much he endured at this time. ”
King Yan Cheng's eyes were cold, with a cold feeling.
"I know him better than the rest of the world, so I'm on his guard better than you." Lian Zhi'er did not have a trace of fear on his face, and his eyes were full of determination.
King Yan Cheng's wine is completely gone. "That's enough."
Lian Zhi'er looked at the room full of proud people, and sneered, "I didn't expect Beiliang to die at the hands of you wine bags and rice bags in the future, it's really sad." ”
After saying that, she didn't care about everyone's faces, only turned around and left, and only stepped out of the tent, but heard the sound of smashing wine bowls behind her.
"Ridiculous." But it was the angry voice of King Yan Cheng.
Lian Zhi'er only gritted his teeth, turned around and walked into another tent,
Now the people of Yan Chengbu are all happy. It's bustling everywhere.
Lian Zhi'er only took advantage of the night to enter Lian Yan's tent.
Even Zhi'er also knew what kind of virtue the son of the king of Shuolang was, not only ugly, but also unbearable.
As soon as she entered, she heard the sound of sobbing, followed by the comforting voice of the nurse, "Don't cry, girl, you will get married tomorrow, and you have to go to the snow mountain to meet the mountain god." ”
Lian Zhi'er gritted her teeth and went in, and said coldly, "Congratulations on my sister getting married tomorrow, it's really pitiful, you ended up like this, and you can't compare to me in this life." ”
Lian Yan turned her head, with endless hatred in her eyes, as if she had been poked in the tail, and even her eyes were filled with endless hatred, "What did you say?" ”
Lian Zhi'er suddenly smiled slowly, "You also know what happened to you, besides, you are so daring." I didn't even dare to run away from marriage. ”
After Lian Zhi'er finished speaking, he turned and left.
After Lian Zhi'er left, Yan Chengwang and the others didn't know what it tasted like even if they drank the best wine, and soon the banquet dispersed.
King Yan Cheng was depressed in his heart, and was thinking about today's things in the tent, when he saw the nurse running in in a hurry, her face full of panic.
"The prince is not good, the girl has run away from marriage."
"Ridiculous." King Yan Cheng was furious, and the green tendons on his forehead burst out.
"It's all after the county lord came, he only talked nonsense, and the girl couldn't stand it, so after she sent the old slave out, there was no trace of people."
Yan Cheng Wang said slowly for a long time, "Don't mention this matter to others, find a girl to put it in tomorrow and send it to the Shuolang Department." ”
When Lian Yan got married, Lian Zhi'er didn't go, but just waited in the king's tent to dye back.
She didn't see any of his letters coming back, and it was like a stone sinking into the sea, which made her heart seem flustered.
And she remembered Shi Ran's explanation, and only watched Lian Huan closely, for fear that he would get into trouble.
But he is unusually docile and well-behaved, and he is even more obedient to King Yan Cheng.
However, on the day of Lian Yan's wedding, when the wedding procession was halfway through, he saw that the people who greeted him were all covered in iron armor and took Lian Yan over.
Immediately, several tribes announced that they would unite with the Shuolang Tribe, and even proclaimed themselves the king of Beiliang, and threatened the life of the daughter of King Yan Cheng to kill the current king of Beiliang.
King Yan Cheng breathed a heavy sigh of relief, if his daughter was really married, he had to have scruples, fortunately she ran away from the marriage, only then did he know that what Lian Zhi'er said was true, but he almost broke a big deal.
And because she is a maid, she did not send her sister-in-law Lian Song to send her relatives, otherwise she would be completely pinched.
He was extremely angry and came to the royal court, and sent most of the soldiers and horses in the royal court away, as well as those in the Northern Liang Department, as long as he went to conquer the rebellious ministers of the king of Shuolang.
But isn't there an emptiness in the king's tent, and if the enemy attacks at this time, what will be good for these old and weak women and children?
King Yan Cheng left his sister-in-law Lian Song behind, and immediately left with his troops, because he expected that King Shuolang's people would definitely not have the ability to attack the capital.
Lian Zhi'er and Lian Huan went to see off the soldiers, and Lian Huan looked at the imposing Yan Chengbu's attendants with his own eyes, and his eyes were full of complexity.
Lian Zhi'er was frightened when he was young, so he comforted, "It's okay, there is a sister here." ”
Lian Juan raised his chin, "One day, I will become the real prince of Beiliang and let all people submit to my feet." ”
Lian Zhi'er only took his childish words, only laughed a few words and went back.
*****
The weather in the Central Plains was unusually cold, and the people in the city were miserable, so they were so cold that they stayed at home and did not dare to go out.
Dyeing all the way. But he didn't see a little tiredness, even Ah Zeng couldn't help but sigh, he looked weak, but he could bear it better than them, and he couldn't help but feel a little more admiration.
After Luoyang, in order not to startle the snakes, Shi Ran placed the twenty iron horsemen outside the city and entered the city alone.
Ah Zeng was also afraid of something in his heart, and his heart only kept beating.
Who knew that it was only at night, but they saw countless elite and ironclad guards surrounding the shop where they lived, and killed anyone they saw.
Ah Zeng's people are all brave people, in fact, they are so easy to be killed, but when they see that the swords are intertwined, there is a river of blood, but the warriors of Beiliang are still outnumbered, and they slowly fall down one by one.
Ah Zeng persevered to the end, but when he saw that he was covered in blood, his eyes were red, and he only gritted his teeth and said, "Do you know who we are, we are all from Beiliang, you dare to do it with us?!" ”
The leader sneered, "Why don't you dare to make a move, soon our regent will be completely against you, you still don't know, your whereabouts today were also told to us by Lord Shi, he was originally the person sent by our prince." He who deceives your lords. ”
Ah Zeng only felt creepy, and he just wanted to escape, but unexpectedly, the cold sword had pierced his chest.
When the men saw that they were dead, they lit a fire and left at once, waiting for everything to be reduced to ashes.
In the raging fire, Ah Zeng saw a well in the distance, he gritted his teeth and jumped into it at once.
"Shi Ran, you actually deceived our county lord, I will definitely make you pay."
****
Lian Zhi'er was in the king's tent, but the battle situation in the north was constantly spreading in his ears.
I heard that although the weapons of the Shuolang Department were excellent, the people who saw Yan Chengbu were still terrified, and King Yan Cheng was even more fierce and murderous.
I heard that where he passed, even the goshawks in the sky did not dare to fall down to feed.
However, whether Yan Chengbu and Wang Ting died were soldiers or constantly transported back, it only made people look at the bad taste in their hearts, and now they have won, and they are both defeated, and they can never go back to the old days.
Lian Zhi'er was even more anxious that there was no trace of Shi Dye at all, not even Ah Zeng's letter, she was afraid that something would happen.
However, Lian Song, who was guarding the royal court, saw that the battle reports in front of him were repeated, all of which were how King Yan Cheng had won, so he became more and more unscrupulous in the royal court, and even didn't even pay attention to Lian Huan, and even drank with the guards, and he couldn't wake up.
On this day, Lian Zhi'er fell asleep randomly. But I heard shouts of killing in the distance. Pythagorean Library
She hurriedly got up, but saw thousands of Shuolang people killed in the distance, and the drunken soldiers had to resist indiscriminately, and for a time they actually hit the royal court.
Presumably, it was someone secretly sent by King Shuolang, who only thought of killing Lian Huan, so that King Yan Cheng could be caught off guard.
Seeing that these drunken soldiers could not resist for long, Lian Zhi'er was so angry that he left with Lian Huan and the old and weak women and children in the king's tent, just thinking about finding a place to hide quickly.
They had to go to the Central Plains, but the elite soldiers of the royal court were all taken away by King Yan Cheng, and Lian Song quickly surrendered, and also explained the direction of the disappearance of the king of Beiliang.
However, soon some soldiers pursued Lian Zhi'er and others, and Lian Zhi'er had to take everyone with him, and only ran to cover the letter.
A few days ago, she was still here to see off Shi Ran, but she didn't expect to run for her life today, and everything changed drastically.
At this time, it was already dawn, and Lian Zhi'er took the lead, holding the panicked Akong. He tapped on the gate and shouted, "We are going into the city, let us in." ”
The people of the Central Plains have always been obedient to the people of Beiliang, but who knew that Wu Du, who was standing on the city wall today, did not change his face, and only said coldly, "Since it is a matter of Beiliang, how can we Central Plains people take care of it, and the county lord should go back quickly." ”
Bursts of dust had been lifted in the distance, and the people from the Shuolang Department were already close in front of them.
That Wu Dutong stood on the tall city wall and shouted loudly, "We are willing to kill these evildoers for the county lord, but there is only one condition. ”
Lian Zhi'er's heart couldn't help but tremble, and she subconsciously looked at Lian Huan, who was pale, and Ah Kong in her arms.
"On what terms?" She gritted her teeth, but still asked if she was hungry.
"The regent said that as long as he had the child in your hand, as long as you could give it to me, these ants would be able to kill them all in a matter of moments."
Lian Zhi'er looked at the panicked people around her, as well as the infant children, and the pregnant women, whose husbands were desperate, and as a monarch, they could not protect their wives and children.
Lian Huan's eyes were red, "Sister, brother will protect you, you leave quickly." ”
Lian Zhi'er shook her head slowly.
But Akong seems to realize that it all has something to do with him. He only hugged Lian Zhi'er's neck and called timidly, "A-Niang." ”
Lian Zhi'er choked up in her voice, and tears kept rolling down, "Akong, don't you want to see your father the most?" Soon you will be able to go to his side, and in the future, you will be able to take care of yourself and forget about your mother. ”
Lian Zhi'er only looked up and shouted, "Okay." The lord of the county will give you the child. ”
Nadu Tong waved his hand, but saw that the city gate suddenly opened, and countless guards passed by them, only running towards those people from the Shuolang tribe.
Those people in the Shuolang Department originally thought that these Central Plains people would not dare to take care of this, but they didn't think that the regent would dare to betray their prince, so they immediately turned around and ran.
But he was soon caught up by the guards of the Central Plains, and the blood stained a large area of white snow.
Soon Wu Dutong came over, and he often went to the royal court to send tribute to the previous year, and he was very familiar with him.
saw that he was a little proud. It is not like the groveling of the royal court in the past.
"This is what the county lord personally promised, no one forced you, and asked you to sign and draw a pledge, and it will have nothing to do with this child in the future."
Lian Zhi'er looked at everything that had been prepared for a long time, and then sneered, "Your master is really shrewd, and he even thought in advance that the county lord could escape here." ”
But she still took the ink and wrote her name on the paper, and then drew it.
Her heart was like a knife, but she could only give him the crying dead and alive child.
The women and children in Beiliang all shed tears, knowing that it was Lian Zhi'er who saved their lives, they all knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing.
When Lian Zhi'er returned to the royal court with everyone, he saw that everything had turned into ashes, as if the last glory of Beiliang had also disappeared.
Lian Song finally escaped, only to be surrounded by a remnant of soldiers, his face was pale, and he knew that when King Yan Cheng came back, it would be difficult to explain, after all, he had made a mistake.
After Lian Huan came back, everyone saw hope and hurriedly shouted, "King Beiliang is back, he is back." ”
Lian Huan's face didn't have a trace of fear, just looked at everything that turned into ashes, "Everyone went to Yan Chengbu today and took all the things that weren't burned." ”
There were a lot of people in the royal court, so they went to Yan Chengbu, and they had to settle down haphazardly.
And when Yan Chengbu's people saw that the people of the royal court were coming in such an embarrassment, they became more and more indignant.
However, the news of King Yan Cheng's victory still came, King Shuolang was dismantled in eight pieces, and before he died, he scolded Ruan Lu for his treachery.
And soon Yan Chengbu spread gossip, only saying that King Yan Cheng should be the real king of Beiliang, and some people even blatantly said that they would expel Lian Huan.
Lian Zhi'er also heard these words, and she didn't care about the sadness of losing Akong, so she only went to comfort her younger brother.
"Uncle won't harm us, don't worry, this position must be yours."
Lian Huan's eyes were dark. After a long time, he said slowly, "Didn't my sister hear about it?" They were all rumored that their uncle had deliberately let those people over, because his uncle didn't want to bear the reputation of killing the King of Beiliang, but he just wanted to kill people with a knife. ”
Lian Zhi'er naturally heard these ridiculous words, and was about to persuade Lian Huan, but saw that he had already turned around and left, obviously his own brother, but he had become so rusty.
When King Yan Cheng came back with countless slaves and looted things, the people of Yan Chengbu put on the best food and wine, almost forgetting that their royal court had been burned down, and at this time, generations of people used life and death to protect things.
And Lian Huan, as the nominal king of Beiliang, also rewarded King Yan Cheng with something according to Yan Chengbu's instructions.
But the royal court was gone, and the things taken out were very shabby, which made everyone scoff.
The firelight illuminated Lian Huan's eyes red, and the flickering firelight covered the expression and killing intent on his face at this time.
King Yan Cheng only accepted the reward casually, and then said slowly. "The royal court is no longer here, so the prince will live in Yanchengbu, and after the spring of next year, he will build the royal court again."
Lian Huan's face was full of gratitude, "Thank you, uncle." ”
King Yan Cheng thought that he was frightened by this incident, but he couldn't help but comfort a few words, and Lian Huan's face was full of emotion.
The crowd only thought that he was under the fence, and they groveled to such an appearance.
And at this moment, Lian Juan personally poured a glass of wine for King Yan Cheng, and then said respectfully, "Uncle, nephew toast you." ”
King Yan Cheng has always been cautious, in the past, everything he ate and drank was to be tested for poison, but today's toast with Lian Huan, if it is a drug test, this is not criticized.
Besides, he saw with his own eyes that Lian Juan drank a few cups, which were naturally non-toxic, so he also took it and drank it all in one gulp.
"Don't worry, uncle......" Before he could finish his words, he felt a fishy sweet breath surging up in his throat, and he spat out a mouthful of blood "wow".
When he stared at Lian Huan, he saw that there was endless killing intent and cruelty in his eyes.
He was such a heroic figure, but he didn't expect to die today, and he was actually killed by the people he desperately protected.
The room full of people was caught off guard, and they saw that King Yan Cheng, who could be called the god of war, was actually murdered.
King Yan Cheng soon fell into the tent, his eyes open, and he did not bat a glance, with endless hatred and unwillingness.
And at this moment, I saw Lian Huan say in a cold voice, "King Yan Cheng has committed a crime, and he wants to murder this king, so I will kill him today, and all of you are innocent, and you will never implicate your relatives." ”
At this time, he saw that King Yan Cheng's second son came in with countless guards, and did not arrest the person who plotted to kill King Yan Cheng, but surrounded everyone.
This conspiracy is the son that King Yan Cheng hates the most, even if he is quite capable, but his biological mother is an ugly slave, and he was drunk to see this son, which is the shame of his life.
In the past, he also sent this son far away, but Lian Mou still bribed the cronies around King Yan Cheng, and now he is also quite prestigious in Yan Chengbu.
As soon as everyone saw this, they knew that the king of Beiliang had done such a great thing together with him.
"In the future, Lian Mou will be King Yan Cheng, do you have any objections?" Lian Huan's smile is cold and cruel.
