Volume 1 Entanglement Chapter 44
"That's for sure!"
Guo Tianqiong's eyes were surging with monstrous waves, and the killing aura exuded from his body was far no less than that of Wei Cang, he replied, "Not only the Rouge, but also those that I can't use, the number is a bit much, it's a pity to kill, but it's uncontrollable and threatening, it's useless to keep it." ”
At this moment, Wei Xiangyan has to admire Guo Tianqiong's methods, he is indeed suitable to be the emperor, he is decisive and does not drag mud and water, if her father sits on this throne, he will not be able to strategize like Guo Tianqiong.
The remaining sanity gradually overcame the anger of hatred, and Wei Rongyan spoke, "Say, what do you want me to do?" ”
"Danliao has been restless recently, and wants to take advantage of the unstable foundation of Xiazhou to raise troops to swallow it up, you know that the Danliao army is good at fighting, originally the most trusted person in the court was your brother, and this battle was intended to send him, but now that he is not here, it is naturally up to you to go." Guo Tianqiong replied.
"Good!"
Wei Rongyan simply agreed, not even saying half a sentence, it may be driven by the desire in her heart, washing blood with blood, since she can't kill the people of the Guo family, then she can only go into battle to kill the enemy.
"The straightforward character of the coke has not changed, but I told you in advance that Danliao has gathered an army of 70,000, and the army I can give you is only the pair of peasant soldiers and your brother's people, a total of 20,000, not more."
So Guo Tianqiong doesn't completely trust her, but Wei Rongyan doesn't care, the worst is death, how can it be a relief.
The woman looked at the person in front of her who was comfortable and made a decision, and sneered coldly, "At this time, the emperor still asked me to lead the troops, aren't you really afraid that I will use them to rebel?" ”
Guo Tianqiong replied with a smile, "The people of the Wei family are not only righteous, but also loyal, although the Wei family is different from your father and brother, with some evil spirits, but the foundation of loyalty is unchanged, since I believe in them, I must also believe in you." ”
"You believe they are loyal to you, and you want to kill them!" Wei Ming's heart was full of anger.
"Because I can't keep it." Guo Tianqiong pointed out the facts, "They will not oppose it, but one day they will be opposed by people with ulterior motives in their name." ”
Wei Rongyan sneered, and did not shy away from mocking, "After all, it was the gold paint that I ascended to the throne, so I will always be wary of those who carry light." ”
"That's right."
Guo Tianqiong was not angry, but nodded in agreement, raised his head up and down, and could not be afraid of life and death to speak frankly to him, I am afraid that there will be no one in the future.
"Your Majesty." Before leaving, Wei Rou asked the last words, "For the emperor, is it useful for Rouge or Sun Xin?" ”
As if guessing Wei Yuan's thoughts, Guo Tianqiong frowned and disagreed, "You have already taken one of his arms." ”
"But his life is still there!" Wei Xiangyan's attitude was very resolute, "The hand is returned to Guo Mushen, and the life is returned to my father and brother!" ”
Feeling Wei Ming's stubbornness, Guo Tianqiong shook his head helplessly, and replied lightly, "Do it cleaner." ”
If you want to stay in a high position, you really have to learn to touch people's hearts thoroughly, when you should enter, when you should receive, Wei Rongyan was originally full of anger, and even had the intention of dying with Guo Tianqiong, but he could be perfectly suppressed by Guo Tianqiong and resolved in another way.
Perhaps, everyone knows in their hearts that for the sake of those who are still waiting outside, she will never kill her.
The eyes of the woman who came out of the hall did not rest on the person who was waiting for a moment, and passed him directly.
Grabbing the slender wrist with his big palm, Guo Mushen did not turn around, the emotions buried under the lowered sword eyebrows fluctuated, countless words were stuck in his throat, and the last three words were squeezed out, "I'm sorry..."
"Guo Mushen..."
Wei Rongyan didn't turn around, the two turned their backs to each other, and she spoke, "You only need to answer me one question, why are you going?" ”
The whole heart fell inexplicably, the light in Guo Mu's eyes was mixed, and after half a sound, he finally spoke, "Only me will go in this world, so I won't die under your sword." ”
An indifferent and shallow sneer, her eyes were tearless and gleazed, the corners of Wei Ming's mouth slightly raised a stiff and temperatureless arc, she shook off Guo Mushen's hand, and every word she said calmly could burn the past time, and the remaining ashes also dissipated without a trace.
"Yes, you won."
That night, Sun Xin was assassinated at home, killed on the spot, his body was hung in the room, the death was terrifying, obviously tortured, but such a big action at night, no one in his home was noticed, and it was not found until the next day.
On the second day, Wei Rongyan went to the court to listen to the order, and Guo Tianqiong announced in public that the Wei family father and son had been convicted of rebellion, and all the rewards they had received were withdrawn, and the general temple in the north of the city was immediately demolished.
Pity the Wei family for the misfortune, leaving only the orphan girl Wei Xiangyan, spare her life, but the death penalty can be avoided, and the living crime cannot be escaped, and Wei Rongyan and all the soldiers of the Wei family will be sent to the frontier, and they will not leave without an edict.
After receiving the holy decree, Wei Rongyan turned to look at the minister, and remembered every face in his heart.
Instigated the generals, forced the palace on a rainy night, and pushed the Wei family to the forefront in order to consolidate their own power.
His eyes swept the ministers like a blade of light, and Wei Rongyan said lightly as he passed by them, "You'd better ask for protection from heaven, I hope I won't return to Kyoto in my life." ”
Such a blatant threat made the minister stunned and frightened, they looked at Guo Tianqiong, hoping that he would uphold justice, but the people on the dragon chair had their eyes slightly closed, their brows furrowed and their temples rubbed, showing that there were many things that made him irritable and had a headache, and he had no time to care about anything else.
Suddenly, no one dared to make a mistake, who didn't know about Sun Xin's matter, but Guo Tianqiong just said a few words hastily, and he didn't plan to investigate it at all.
Up to now, they can only ask for God's blessing, hoping that Wei Mingxuan will die on the battlefield.
When he left the palace, the list of accusing the Wei family of rebellion had been posted, and rumors were also spreading, revealing that the father and son of the Wei family loved the people like sons, were loyal and benevolent, and in fact took bribes and harmed countless people.
There are even some rumors that paint and paint colors, complete human and material evidence, and there are many rules and regulations, which are reasonable and well-founded, and it is difficult for people not to believe it.
Occasionally, a determined person argued that this was a false accusation and that it was definitely not the Wei family's behavior, but immediately more people came up with so-called evidence to refute it.
Slowly, the people began to agree with the views of the majority faction, and they discussed that the people of the Wei family were discouraged, and they also helped to build the general's temple and set up the immortal tablet to worship.
Someone recognized Wei Xiang, shouting that the remnants of the rebel party grabbed the sundries and threw them at Wei Xiangyan, Wei Xiangyan picked up the oncoming sundries, raised his hand and threw them to the ground, and the fierce eyes skimmed off other people who wanted to continue, and the people were so frightened that they didn't dare to do anything, and some people who were a little bold shouted cowardly that the Wei family was a chaotic minister and thief who caused chaos in the dynasty, and it should be corrected.
Seeing this, those people gathered around and kept insulting with the most vicious words, cursing that Wei Mingrou should go to hell with everyone in the Wei family.
Hell!
The woman sneered secretly, in the world of flowers, all you can see are strangers who are bloody and indifferent, is this heaven?
All the way to the outside of the city, Lord Yang has prepared everything, and now the people in Kyoto are gnashing their teeth at the Wei family, Wei Rongrou did not want to erect a monument and build a tomb for his family, but only planned to cremate the remains of his father and brother.
The fire rolled up the billowing gray smoke and drifted in the sky, the autumn wind kneaded the dough, the clouds moved phantomly, piecing together a blurred face, and the beams of light passed through the clouds, shining and soft, like a mother's touch.
Daddy, brother, you should have reunited with your mother in heaven, have you seen your sister-in-law and them, remember to say hello to your mother on behalf of Yan'er.
You don't have to worry about me, Yan'er will work hard to live, and will not be easily defeated, Yan'er knows that you want to see the world peaceful, everyone lives and works in peace and contentment, and the Xiazhou you have worked so hard to establish, Yan'er will do her best to protect it.
After dealing with the family's funeral, Wei Wei went back to the barracks, and Tang Wei and Yi Lei had already brought all the people to wait here.
Tang Wei's people saw Wei Wei and the people collectively knelt down to plead guilty, if they hadn't been instigated by others, the Wei family would not have been here today.
Wei Rongyan did not hold everyone accountable, but explained the situation that everyone was facing, they were no longer a regular army now, and if they followed her, they would not be praised for winning every battle they fought in the future, and they would only be spurned if they lost.
"I give you the choice, if you want, you will set out with me today, if you don't, you will leave here, and this life will not appear in the eyes of the world again." Wei said.
Tang Wei and his soldiers did not hesitate, and said in unison, "We will pursue the general to the death to atone for our sins!" ”
Yi Lei and the others next to him also knelt down, and also said that they would go wherever Wei Rouge went.
"Good!" Wei Ming's high words, "From now on, all of us will share honor and disgrace, and we will only live for ourselves!" ”
Since Wei Mingyan left the palace, Guo Mushen has been behind her, he has watched her being spurned with his own eyes, watched her cremate her relatives, watched her set off from the camp, several times he wanted to step forward, but he never dared to take a step.
He knew she wouldn't accept him anymore, and he knew that his presence would only make things worse.
So he can only accompany him silently at a distance not far away, sending each other all the way, and he can't send it again, Guo Mu sank to the city wall, and his eyes quietly followed her away.
He knew what Wei Rouge was facing, and he also begged Guo Tianqiong, hoping to let Wei Rouge stay, or send more people, or let him go with him, Guo Mushen thought about everything he could, but Guo Tianqiong refused all.
Guo Mushen didn't understand that she would not stay in Kyoto to live a stable life, nor would she accept any help from herself, because she was not an ordinary woman, she was a phoenix who could bathe in fire, and she would definitely be reborn.
It's just that after Nirvana, who will be the people who accompany her, and on the other side of the road, will they be able to meet again...
Wei Mingyan also knew that Guo Mushen was there the whole time, she just didn't look back, and at the beginning, she insisted on wanting to know why Guo Mushen personally forced her father and brother to death.
After calming down, she has figured it out, and knows what to do, the lost life can't be replaced, and she will never let go...
This man is the only love in her life, because of him, she is fortunate in life and is no longer lonely, but he has become the most painful hatred in her life.
When the person you love the most kills your dearest person, and when you see each other again, even sadness is superfluous, and those ethereal and invisible and boundless hatreds have long been forged between the two of them, and the hollow heart cannot be repaired with anything.
For Wei Mingyan, it is good to go to the border, at least there, the heart can be simpler, there is no need to face deceit, the organs are exhausted, there will be no mourning of relatives leaving, and there will be no heartbreak of betrayal by lovers, there are only two simple ways in life, live or die.
The north wind is blowing, the sand and gravel are long, the smoke and dust are misty, there are jackdaws whimpering and mourning on the branches, Wei Xiang is in the front, the thin figure stands alone, and gradually drifts away, and finally, the afterimage is still slowly covered by the swept fallen leaves, leaving a piece of withered yellow.
Guo Mushen, you are a bird, I am a fish, the clouds and smoke are over, and there is no trace in the end.
Wei Rongyan and you say goodbye here, may we never see each other in this life...
