Chapter Seventy-Eight: From Now on the End of the World Will Not Return to Man
Gao Huan stood in place and glanced at his wife Lou Shi, although he did not say the words to reprimand her from his mouth, Lou Zhaojun's heart trembled at this moment. From Gao Huan's reaction and expression towards Erzhu, it can be seen that Gao Huan's doting on Erzhu's eyes is in contrast to the cold state when he looks at her.
"He Liuhun, do you dare..."Lou Zhaojun saw that his son was beaten, and hurriedly opened his arms to protect Gao Cheng behind him, like an eagle protecting his cubs from being taken away.
"A-Niang, A-Niang" Gao Yang trembled with fear by Gao Huan's reaction, and Gao Cheng's whole face was undoubtedly knocked to the ground by Gao Huan's palm. Thinking about it, if Lou Zhaojun hadn't stopped him, Gao Huan was afraid that he would have the heart to kill Gao Cheng.
As for Gao Yang, frightened by Gao Huan, Lian Man hid behind Lou Zhaojun and didn't dare to show his head at all. In addition to Lou Zhaojun, who was also frightened by Gao Huan, the bigger one was Gao Huan himself! If Lou Zhaojun hadn't blocked Gao Cheng in time, Hou Jing grabbed him, presumably he would have killed Gao Cheng to vent his anger at this moment.
"Auntie! Daddy is so scary," Gao Cheng said, wiping tears from his tears.
"Your father is terrible, he is obviously crazy, and the tiger poison does not eat children! In this world, how can a father hurt his children because of his concubine, I think he is crazy" Lou Zhaojun glared at Gao Huan angrily with horror, although she forcibly wanted to calm herself, but her legs and feet were still unconsciously weak when she saw such a scene.
"He behaved like this, but you taught" Gao Huan was so angry with Lou Zhaojun, only to see him nod angrily, his eyes were full of resentment and looked at Gao Cheng, and then turned his gaze to Lou Shi. Gao Huan gritted his teeth, the whole courtyard was so quiet that even the gurgling of his teeth could be heard.
Seeing this, Hou Jing slowly walked to Gao Huan's side, and whispered in his ear: "Lord, Gao Cheng's son has been with the army for many years, presumably there must be a misunderstanding this time, the lord's enthusiasm is probably going to hurt the son's father-son relationship with you, not to mention that Murong is also here, if the lord wants to execute the son, I am afraid it will not be conducive to the development of the army" Hou Jingyan concisely showed Gao Huan that he should think twice, and after listening to Hou Jing's words, Gao Huan really slowly put down the hilt of the sword.
"A-Niang, Yang'er is afraid"
"A-Niang~" The second son Gao Yang was instantly frightened by Gao Huan's reaction, and his trembling hands kept on Lou Zhaojun's arms and shook and shouted.
"Don't be afraid, my mother is here!" Lou Zhaojun was like an eagle guarding food, and only then did he relax as Gao Huan slowly lowered the hilt of his sword.
Seeing this, Er Zhu Ying'e gave up her plan by Gao Huan, who was persuaded by Hou Jing in just a few words, and since this plan didn't work, it seemed that she had to do something else.
"General, general" She slowly reached out and grabbed Gao Huan's fingers to transfer Gao Huan's attention to hers, and sure enough, when Gao Huan saw Er Zhu Ying'e like this, her cold breath was instantly consumed.
Seeing him squatting on the ground full of worry, he didn't know how to put his whole hand, he looked at Erzhu Ying'e, and then at her injury, and his eyes were full of worry and sadness, and he instantly surged out.
"Are you alright?" Gao Huan carefully hugged her to her lap and gently wiped her sideburns for her. Erzhu Ying'e's entire forehead was covered with sweat, and Gao Huan kept repeating the action of sweating for her when she saw this.
"A-Niang" Gao Yang's immature voice has been coming behind Lou Zhaojun uninterruptedly.
Lou Zhaojun was in no mood to comfort Gao Yang at the moment, she stood quietly and looked at Gao Huan, her eyes full of doubt. She and Gao Huan have only been separated for three years, and she didn't expect it to be like this. This Erzhu clan is indeed beautiful, so beautiful that it makes people's hearts numb, Lou Zhaojun does not refute this, if she is a man, I am afraid that she will also bow down under her pomegranate skirt.
Erzhu Ying'e was lying on the ground with a miserable face, Lou Zhaojun was instantly at a loss when she saw this, at this moment, although she was worried about Erzhu Ying'e's injury, it was more of Gao Huan's attitude. Although Gao Cheng's plan is complaining for her, but now that Er Zhu Ying'e is anti-guest, it makes it difficult for her to ride a tiger.
Over the years, she has only known how to support her family and take care of her children like a rural village woman, and she has lived separately for a long time, and she doesn't know that Gao Huan is no longer the poor boy who built the city wall at the beginning, he is now a general above 10,000 people under one person, and he is the pillar of the Northern Wei Dynasty.
Gao Yang was frightened and pestered Lou Zhaojun, if Gao Yang hadn't been tugging at the corner of her clothes, Lou Zhaojun hadn't woken up, as if all this was like a dream.
Er Zhu Ying'e knew that her plan had been accomplished, so she hurriedly pretended to be weak and looked at Gao Huan and said: "General, in case I have a bad one, don't blame the eldest son, don't hurt your father-son relationship because of me."
"General Ben Fukuzawa Guangpi, he will naturally bless you, you can rest assured that the doctor will be here soon, you will be fine!" Saying that, Gao Huan picked up Erzhu Ying'e by the waist, and when he left, he didn't forget to glare at Lou Zhaojun angrily, and then he returned to the bedroom with Erzhu in a panic.
"Husband, madam" As for Lou Zhaojun at this moment, she must have not thought that her husband who was in the past and her Qin Se and Ming, respectively, would hold a sword against her on the day of goodbye. Thinking of this, she fainted weakly, if it weren't for Murong Shaozong helping her in time, she would definitely fall to the ground without precautions.
"I'm fine," Lou Zhaojun shook his head with disappointment on his face.
After helping Lou Zhaojun to stand up, Murong Shaozong straightened his waist and saluted Hou Jing, and Hou Jing hurriedly walked over to help him when he saw this.
"Murong Shaozong is grateful for Wanjing's life-saving grace, you and I have always had political discord, today's grace, I Murong will definitely return it" After saying that, Murong Shaozong threw his sleeves and left.
"I know that he empathizes with others, so he doesn't care about the life or death of my mother and son, but I didn't know that he had reached such a state" Lou Zhaojun looked at Gao Huan's back when he left with tears, and at this moment her heart was as uncomfortable as ten thousand ants.
"Madam, this is just a temporary difference, let's come to Japan for a long time" Saying that, after Murong Shaozong left, Hou Jing also left after saluting the Lou family.
Lou Zhaojun's eyes were not only extremely disappointed at the moment, she didn't know if there was any rumor at the moment, from Gao Huan's reaction, it could be known that she had lost all the games at this moment.
Since Gao Huan invited a doctor to treat Erzhu Ying'e for a full three incense sticks, Gao Huan has been by Erzhu's side, as for her, she is obviously the housewife, and she has left a reputation for jealousy as soon as she enters the door. She sat alone in the main hall until late at night, and the maids in the house came and walked around a few times, and after saluting her, they left. Although the maids did not stay with her for long, she could see that even the maids in this house could ignore her existence.
After nightfall, Gao Yang ran to her crying, and after a while of peace around her, he was sent away by Lou Zhaojun. "Do I still have a chance to win?" She looked at Murong Shaozong weakly.
Murong Shaozong said very resolutely, yes, after speaking, he looked at Gao Cheng, who was sitting on the ground, and then whispered in her ear, when the time comes, as long as the eldest young master marries the Yuan family as the foundation, the lady will definitely be able to win.
"Yuan's" Lou Zhaojun muttered a few times at the corner of her mouth, and there was no joy on her face, obviously smiling, but it seemed to be crying.
As Lou Zhaojun successfully moved into the Zhuguo General's Mansion, Er Zhuyan followed the original agreement with Murong Shaozong to go to him at night...
"Young master, you look for me" Murong Shaozong saw the message left by Er Zhuyan in his residence, and before he could react, Er Zhuyan appeared in his residence.
"Lou Zhaojun, I have helped you deliver it safely, when can you help me save my aunt out" Er Zhuyan's lonely and cold back stood straight in the wind. This is probably the most witty period of her life, more than 300 people from her father's and brother's clan have died one after another, and now she has become the target of public criticism, no matter how she chooses, she will not escape fate.
"Is it not easy for the young master to dress up all the time" After Murong Shaozong finished saluting Er Zhuyan, he did not directly tell Ye Yana about the situation, but began to care about Er Zhu Yan.
"There are many inconveniences in the army, please forgive me for concealing my identity, since I have abided by the agreement between us, can the promise made to me by Mr. be fulfilled as soon as possible" Saying that, Er Zhuyan handed out a cup of tea to Murong Shaozong, not so much handing him tea, but rather saying that Er Zhuyan was testing Murong Shaozong's reaction.
Seeing this, Murong Shaozong did not end the tea that Er Zhuyan handed him. He looked at Er Zhuyan with a little suspicion and said, "I heard about something recently, about the young master" After speaking, Murong Shaozong patiently told Er Zhuyan the story he heard.
"I heard that Mrs. General's side is the half-sister of the young master, since you two are sisters, why did you let me, an outsider, get involved" As he spoke, Murong Shaozong pushed back the tea that Er Zhuyan handed him back. Er Zhuyan naturally knew what he meant by this, and he must not want to help.
"The young master helped me send my wife back, which Murong is very grateful for, but now the general is trying his best to track down the Erzhu family, and there is nothing he can do to help the young master. What's more, since the young master and his wife are the same father and sister, wouldn't it be beautiful if they could serve the Pillar Kingdom together! As he spoke, Murong Shaozong took out an object from his arms, which was the dagger that Er Zhu Yan returned to Gao Huan that day, and when he saw this thing, Er Zhu Yan pursed his lips, and Murong Shaozong was overjoyed when he saw this. Originally, he wanted to let the two sisters of the Erzhu family contradict each other and let Lou Zhaojun take advantage of the fisherman, but unfortunately he was awakened by a sweet dream in less than a moment.
"I know that Mr. is clever and skillful, but it is a blessing that the Lou family can escape from my sister's hands alive this time, the reason why I am willing to help you rescue the Lou family is not to look at the past feelings, if I can't see my aunt again, I believe that the situation of the Lou family will never be better than coming here" Er Zhuyan knew that it was obviously impossible for Murong Shaozong to help her willingly, if it weren't for Yeyana's role in the Lou family that could also balance Er Zhu Ying'e, I think Murong Shaozong would not be so discredited.
"The young master likes Zhuguo, who doesn't know the brothers in the barracks, since Zhuguo hides the young master's thing close to him, he must be unswerving to the young master, since you both have this intention, then why?" Murong Shaozong glanced at Er Zhu Yan meaningfully, and Er Zhu Yan returned the dagger to Murong Shaozong when he saw this.
I saw her smile and said: "Since I think I will return this thing to Gao Huan, it is not because I have affection for him, but one day I will have this dagger straight into his chest."
For Yeyana's key point of being able to balance the Erzhu clan and the Lou clan at this moment, how could Murong Shaozong not know, but if he didn't help Er Zhuyan, when Er Zhu Ying'e successfully gave birth to a baby boy, let alone the Lou family, there would always be a threat to Gao Cheng's status in the future.
Although Er Zhuyan's words were decisive, Murong Shaozong obviously understood the priorities. "The Erzhu clan is favored, and now if the eldest prince wants not to be weakened, he can only marry the county lord of the Yuan clan. Now the General's Mansion is heavily guarded, and when the eldest prince gets married, I will arrange for you to meet with the main mother."
Murong Shaozong sighed slowly, and told Er Zhuyan about the defense in the mansion that day. Now that Er Zhuyan knew, she could only wait until that day to prepare. "In that case, I hope you keep your promise," she quickly jumped out of the window and left.
Three months later, Erzhu Ying'e gave birth to a son named Gao Xun. According to the recommendation of Murong Shaozong, Gao Cheng was hired by Yuan Zhonghua, the daughter of King Yuanhua of Qinghe, and the twelve-year-old Gao Cheng married the ten-year-old Yuan Zhonghua. Under the guidance of Murong Shaozong, Gao Cheng gradually became proficient in military and government affairs, and was often called by Gao Huan to talk about current affairs and government affairs. Murong Shaozong taught according to his aptitude and held Gao Huan's lifeline. Later, because Gao Cheng could answer Gao Huan's questions fluently and analyze them in detail, Gao Huan appreciated them very much, so Gao Huan let him participate in the planning of important military affairs.
The wind blew for a long time, and finally lit the fire in the high walls of the palace thoroughly, and there was a wail in the red courtyard of the deep palace. The blood-red pennant was finally drowned in the wolf smoke everywhere, and the palace maids and concubines all fled in panic.
"Within the palace walls, five steps of disaster, the wind is blowing, let's go!" The ingot torch slowly took off the black eunuch hat and walked through the veil. In the past two years, the Northern Wei Dynasty has belonged to the Yuan family, but in fact, it has already been pinched by Gao Huan. In order to live up to the legacy of his ancestors, he committed himself to facing the palace walls, in order to provoke the relationship between Yuan Xiu and Gao Huan, which made the contradiction between the two more and more intense.
Er Zhuyan looked worried, and did not feel the joy of victory, "He Liuhun raised troops, the palace is about to face a bloody storm, we do this, for public weapons, or for personal gain." It's really beneficial to the people in the world! ”
Thinking about the change of her father Er Zhurong on the day of her death, and looking at it now, Er Zhuyan really doesn't know whether it is really right or wrong to do this. Although she hated Gao Huan, hated him for losing her, and hated him for slaughtering her entire clan. Now that Yuan Xiu and Gao Huan have broken up, it stands to reason that her revenge has been avenged, isn't this what she wants in her heart? As long as Yuan Xiu is allowed to flee to Guanzhong, Yuwentai will be able to use Yuan Xiu's fame to dominate the entire Longxi, and with the seal of the Son of Heaven, it will be a great thing at that time. But right now, the rivers and mountains in Guanzhong are the rivers and mountains of the world, so aren't the people of Luoyang the people of Dawei.
Yuan Baoju looked at Er Zhuyan and knew that she was kind-hearted and knew that she had a way of fraternity in her heart. However, this is war, and this is the competition between generals.
"Yan'er, at such a moment, how can you have the heart of a woman, have you forgotten the hatred of your parents, uncles, and clan brothers who were slaughtered by Gao Huan one by one?" Hearing this, Yuan Bao Ju felt in his heart, if there were no waves, how could he say the past. I think that at the beginning, Er Zhuyan's feelings for Gao Huan are still vivid, if it weren't for the fact that the Erzhu family was almost wiped out overnight, and the family's heavy weapons fell into the hands of Gao Huan, if it wasn't for a long-term plan, how could it be easy to blackmail the Son of Heaven to make the princes.
Yuan Bao Ju is most afraid of not that she has the heart to retreat now, as long as she still has hatred for Gao Huan, then he will still have a chance, he looked at Er Zhuyan who was confused, and heard the words "search, fast, ...... here" outside the wall, and couldn't help Er Zhuyan's inner turmoil, and walked quickly to Er Zhuyan's side and grabbed her hand vigorously.
"Get out of here first, what's there, we'll talk about it when we get out, now is not the time to discuss these issues. Gao Huan's army is coming here soon. ”
He has never been anxious, is Er Zhuyan has never seen, she only thought that Yuan Baoju was a giggling scoundrel, even agreed to join forces with him for revenge, originally had the heart of death, but slowly, she found that this prince with the royal blood of the Northern Wei Dynasty was not as cynical as he looked, but because of this troubled world, he was not decadent and did not hide it.
"Let's go" Yuan Bao Torch dragged her away, and as soon as they left, Gao Huan's soldiers came to search the whole house......
Just as Yuan Bao Ju pulled Er Zhuyan and planned to escape from the palace, Er Zhuyan suddenly thought of someone, and she couldn't leave at the moment. Thinking of this, Er Zhuyan slowly pushed away the hand of the ingot torch.
"I'm sorry, I can't go with you yet," said Er Zhuyan and ran towards the palace wall.
"Yan'er, Yan'er" Yuan Bao Ju called her in place now, seeing that she insisted on being like this, Yuan Bao Ju had a trace of hesitation in her heart at this moment. Now that Gao Huan's army has rushed into the palace, he rushed in with Er Zhuyan so rashly, it was nothing more than a mantis arm blocking the car. Although he had the slightest hesitation, he still unswervingly followed Er Zhuyan.
Yuan Song repelled a group of officers and soldiers and rushed to the side of the Yuan Bao Torch, and seeing that the Yuan Bao Torch insisted on chasing Er Zhuyan, he hurriedly grabbed the Yuan Bao Torch and said: "Childe, now Gao Huan's army has invaded here, Childe, let's go!" ”
"No, Yan'er is still inside, I can't let her be here alone, when Gao Huan catches her, she will definitely be worse off than dead" Saying that, the Yuan Bao Torch was about to chase Er Zhuyan away.
"Didn't Childe say she was just a pawn? When does Childe have a deep affection for a chess piece" Er Zhuyan is indeed the most assertive one among the few women he has ever seen, but there are really more unstable factors in such a woman than stability factors, and no one knows how to react to being with such a woman for a long time. Originally, Yuan Song thought that the Yuan Bao Torch could be clearly distinguished, but when Er Zhuyan pushed him away and decided to return to this palace wall, he thought that the Yuan Bao Torch had already made a decision in his heart.
"She's my pawn, but she's also my exception. Zizhi, if I can't survive with her, then you must take care of Xin'er, he has lost his father, if he loses my uncle, from today on, you will be his father, take care of him for me" Saying, Yuan Baoju pushed Yuan Song's hand away and chased Er Zhuyan away.
Sure enough, Gao Huan is not inferior to Yuan Bao Torch in military affairs and strategy. He knew that Yuan Baoju and their trip was to provoke the relationship between him and the emperor, since Yuan Xiu was thinking about Guanzhong, it was better to let him be this wicked person. A disobedient emperor can only be a scourge if he stays by his side. Since Erzhu can force the Son of Heaven to flee in panic for a while, then he can Gao Huan too. Today is different from the past, and now he holds the entire power in his hands, and it is even easier to choose a well-behaved and obedient emperor.
"Yan'er, Yan'er" Yuan Bao Torch followed the place where the officers and soldiers chased all the way to find Er Zhuyan. After looking for a long time, I haven't found Er Zhuyan's whereabouts, in this deep palace, if Er Zhuyan is really reluctant, there is only one place, and that is Mu Qingluo's residence. Thinking of this, the ingot torch headed towards Mu Qingluo's bedroom.
Yuan Song stood in place and wandered for a long time, since Yuan Baoju was unwilling to go out, then he was also unwilling to go out. Now that he has promised Yuan Ziyou to protect the ingot torch, giving up halfway like this not only looks down on the three leaves who are loyal to the Lord, but he doesn't want to see him like this even if he lives in the world.
"Childe, I'll help you" said, Yuan Song chased the ingot torch closely.
Outside the General Zhuguo's mansion, the soldiers reported the situation in Kyoto to Gao Huan over and over again. Although Gao Huan doesn't like Yuan Xiu, as long as he is not particularly excessive, he will try his best to meet all his requests, but how great is people's desires, if you want to be a supreme minister, who doesn't want supreme power. Whether it is the Ninth Five-Year Supreme or an ordinary person, I am afraid it will be difficult to calm down in the face of wealth and power. "The general of the defeated army, how can he be brave"
I saw Gao Huan's eyes flicker, and after rolling his eyes coldly, he slowly stroked the sword beside him and left.
"Lord, you have decided" Seeing this, Hou Jing stood in front of Gao Huan very respectfully and asked: "My subordinates have found out, what is the ...... of this disaster" Hou Jing slowly finished talking about the cause and effect, obviously Gao Huan was not surprised by such a result.
"I didn't want to have murderous thoughts about him, this Yuan clan bullied my beloved daughter and insulted my dignity, but now since he doesn't want to be this emperor, then it would be good to change someone" Gao Huan slowly closed his eyes, obviously he was trying his best to restrain himself, otherwise the green tendons on his forehead would not have been seriously raised.
Hou Jing stood aside, glanced at Gao Huan, who was trying his best to calm down, and did not forget to add fuel and vinegar and said: "Recently, there have been some symptoms of jumping in Guanzhong, it seems that the one in Guanzhong has won this time."
Gao Huan knew what Hou Jing meant, Guanzhong, to put it bluntly, what kind of moth did He Bayue have. But this is also a real problem. Since the former pillar Guoer Zhu Rong was alive, he has not dealt with him very much, and now it seems that it is even more annoying.
Thinking of this, Gao Huan opened his eyes and looked at Hou Jing with disdain. Although this Hou Jing has been with him since the Six Towns Uprising, this Hou Jing will go with his interests and hobbies no matter what he does. To put it bluntly, this interest and hobby is to do whatever he wants, if someone else Gao Huan can still catch his hobby, but this Hou Jing's hobby Gao Huan is always unpredictable. Seeing Gao Huan glaring at him suspiciously, Hou Jing still pretended to look at him idlely.
"My Abba has killed all his life, if this happens, I will definitely not be in my arms, but my Auntie is merciful to the Buddha, how can she ever blame who has fallen into such a fate, my Erzhu family, all of them were slaughtered, all because the uncles and brothers in the clan are incompatible, and the heart is scattered and everyone pushes, this is nothing with the sky, but all this is Gao Huan's doing, it was he who killed me all over the house, and Ah Niang is even more innocent suffering, this revenge is not avenged, Er Zhuyan is hard to be ashamed of the ancestors and the soldiers who died in the bloody battle with the Erzhu family"
