Chapter 82: The Storm Has Come
At night, clouds like lead filled the night sky, and no stars could be seen. The wind blew tightly, hitting the paper windows, and the leaves were slapped on them, making a terrifying sound.
But Ah Xiu didn't care about the wind and rain in the outside world, he fell asleep next to Ka Ye, pulling the warm master, who was sleeping sweetly.
Ka Ye touched Ah Xiu's yellow messy hair, and spit out a breath of turbid air between breaths, in the past few years, he has clearly paid special attention to Ah Xiu's eating, but he still treats him badly, this child always does not grow well.
"Ah Xiu, don't you blame your senior brothers...... You were born like this, and it is not your fault, you just need to remember that you must always have a kind heart, and everyone will eventually understand that you are a good child, promise to be a teacher, forever and ever, and keep a kind heart! After saying that, Ka Ye quietly closed his eyes, and Ah Xiu in his arms slept and drooled, like a puppy lying in his mother's arms.
It's just that Emperor Jiaye really slept too deeply...... Until the next day, Ah Xiu woke up, he looked at the master who was still by his side in confusion, at this time on weekdays, the master should go to the morning class.
His eyes widened in horror suddenly, and he leaned his ear on Kaya's chest......
In the world, above the court.
"Your Majesty! General Li was beheaded by the enemy, and Danyang City was in danger! ”
"Urgently, Your Majesty! General Huai has been trapped in Guangling for more than two months! The food and grass are exhausted, and the people in the city support, but they can't last five days! ”
The bodies of the two Tiger Guard Signal Soldiers, who were still wheezing, still carried an external strong wind, stirring the air flow above the entire hall to become tense.
On the dragon chair, the young emperor with a calm face that had no expression made the ministers tremble, and they knelt on the ground to plead guilty. This is already the fifth urgent report that has entered the Imperial City this month!
Five months ago, the Marquis of Jingzhou suddenly rebelled!
Without warning, he claimed to go on a northern expedition and take Jiang Yuze's head to sacrifice to the sky! All of a sudden, from the south up, it has broken through the three cities of Surabaya, Yingtian and Linhuai.
The people resisted desperately and supported Jiang Yuze's rule, but they didn't want the city to be broken so quickly, and the three cities were slaughtered one after another!
Three cities became three huge mass graves, and all the people were buried alive! Aroused a stronger resistance, more people marched on the border of Jingzhou, and the whole country was filled with righteous indignation, but as the city was destroyed one after another, panic began to appear.
But under such a popular backlash, the Marquis of Jingzhou, who proclaimed himself the Emperor of Destruction, also let his generals be kings, and the three-way felling was like a bamboo, and it was menacing.
"If there's anything else, let's report it together." Jiang Yuze opened his mouth calmly, looking at the ministers below, and didn't even dare to raise his head.
"The emperor is angry!"
"Your Majesty is angry......"
“……”
Jiang Yuze will not be angry, he is very calm. remembered that three months ago, Li Ying and Huaibing were sent out, and the general order was still hanging in the study when they left.
It's only been a long time, and two people have already died and injured one.
If it was said at the beginning, he thought that the defenders of the city would be too incompetent, and the first city would be lost before it arrived in a month. Then Li Ying and Huai Bing are the soldiers he personally brought out when he was in Pingliang Anhou four or five years ago, he knows the strength of the two of them very well, and he can't talk about using soldiers like gods, and it is definitely more than enough to defend a city.
It is still a rout, which means that it is not a matter of defending the city at all.
"Do you have anything to say? If not, I'll say it. Jiang Yuze sat up straight, but before he could speak, the woman in blue below immediately stepped forward!
"Your Majesty need not be anxious! 50,000 people will arrive in Danyang City in a few days! There is also the Fog City in the Zhou of Guangling, and there are also ......" Jiang Yuze interrupted her with a wave of his hand, "Mengmeng, I know what you have to say. Even if 50,000 horses arrive, Danyang is also a place where there are no generals, and it is a matter of time before the city is broken. And Fog City is the next city to be attacked, and there is no time to take care of itself, how to support Guangling? ”
Gu Mengmeng said anxiously: "But Your Majesty ......"
Jiang Yuze suddenly got up, strode down, and helped her up, "I understand what you mean, but you are not a person who marches and fights, and you don't know the truth of this drum." If the five cities are broken in a row, what do you make the people of Kyushu think? I'm incompetent, can't hold my own territory? ”
Jiang Yuze's tone was already filled with unprecedented solemnity, and Gu Mengmeng gritted her teeth and swallowed what she wanted to say. The destruction of this city is not a big deal, I am afraid that the death of the people of these three cities will cause monstrous turmoil.
There is no reason for the people of Jiang to die in vain, they still have the emperor above their heads! Even if he is dead, he, Jiang Yuze, will also get back all the justice of the wronged souls!
Gu Mengmeng still wanted him to be recruited in person, and pulled his sleeve beggingly. But when he shook his head, he gave up.
But her eyes were filled with unwilling mist, she hated this Manchu Dynasty civil and military! In the government and the opposition, hundreds of civil and military ministers, and under the hall, there are millions of heroes.
This huge ginger country, how vast is Kyushu? I can't even find a person who is guarding the city, and I want the emperor to go out in person, what a wretch!
"I should be on the battlefield in person, I want to see how much great ability this Emperor of World Destruction has." Jiang Yuze patted Gu Mengmeng's shoulder. "Nothing to retreat!"
The emperor waved his sleeves and turned around, and left the hall with his hands in his hands. Wangshan immediately followed him, only this time he had to trot.
"Whoa!" The courtiers were extremely respectful in order, and exited the hall one after another.
Gu Mengmeng was annoyed, and she threw the wat board in her hand in a fit of anger! When these courtiers ran away, she hurriedly followed Jiang Yuze, knowing that since the senior brother had spoken, the words of the Son of Heaven were no child's play, so it was better to prepare well, and she was not at ease when others started.
Imperial Garden, under the gazebo.
Gu Meng found Xiuniang, and Jiang Yuze stood with his hands open and asked them to measure the size.
In the past few years of living in the palace, the previous clothes don't fit, and you need to add more clothes for the march.
"I know you're uncomfortable, but I have to go to this matter, and now there are no concubines in this palace, and you are also in charge of the court, and I can rest assured that I will leave it to you."
Jiang Yuze looked at the junior sister with a very ugly expression, knowing that she was worried about herself, and couldn't help but soften.
In the past two years, thanks to her help, she has governed the dynasty, pulled out many deep-rooted forces, and firmly held the power in the hands of the emperor.
However, it is precisely because of this that the problem of too much imperial power has begun to appear, and the newcomers in the DPRK and China have no time to accumulate experience, and there are many and complicated things, and there are often situations that must be solved by the emperor himself.
So in the past few years, I have often worked day and night, and even have to eat in the imperial study. The younger sister has no complaints, and has always been by his side to give him advice, and watch the people and things he can't see for him.
Jiang Yuze doesn't understand, in this warm and cold world, there is a junior sister who can trust her with life and death, how lucky.
The mother and grandfather are gone, my sister was given to death by his own hands, and the protector was grounded in the imperial tomb by his own order, and he was not allowed to take half a step for the rest of his life.
He is a lonely man, and he is also the emperor who holds the power of life and death, if he has not been with Meng Meng for a few years, I am afraid that the days of open guns and hidden arrows will be even more difficult. Will he become cold-blooded and ruthless? Will it also be in vain for human life and only know how to weigh the pros and cons? Every time he thought about this, Jiang Yuze was extremely happy, fortunately there was such a person by his side, so he was especially kind to her.
"Really? Jiang Yuze, if you really understand me, go and find a woman to sleep with me. If you really die, you can leave me a piece of your royal blood. Then when he grew up, I told him that I, Gu Mengmeng, was also an ambitious person, and then killed him and became the emperor myself! She looked at Jiang Yuze coldly, and found that the embroidery girl who was measuring her senior brother's legs was flushed, and her face was so swollen that she was about to drip blood.
I can't help but sigh in my heart, I'm an infatuated person again!
In recent years, how many people have advised the emperor to take a concubine? Jiang Yuze's loss is out! I can't look down on any of them, and she gets angry when she thinks of this!
"Hahaha, it's too late to find it now, okay, okay, I'm not angry. If I do die this time, you will ascend the throne! It's okay to be the first empress since the founding of my country? Jiang Yuze said proudly, and pinched Gu Mengmeng's bulging cheeks funny.
It's just to lead the troops out on an expedition, and she is angry like a pufferfish! Where is the calmness and steadiness that is half a minute away when dealing with government affairs on weekdays?
"Heh, it's too late to find it. I'll send you to the dragon bed tonight, and send you ten or eight in exchange, and one of them will give birth to a baby for me! Gu Meng slapped the claw off fiercely, and left after speaking.
Leaving a few embroidery girls to measure Jiang Yuze's size, he didn't know what to do next, so he had to kneel on the ground and didn't know what to do.
"Mengmeng, don't make trouble!" Jiang Yuze rubbed his eyebrows with a little headache, really sent it to him, so can you sleep tonight?
Ten Thousand Swords Sect, Ten Thousand Swords Peak, outside the Sword Forest.
"Wow, Ling'er Ling'er, you see that that's good, I heard it's the Sword King!" Lin Luoru pointed to a spirit sword at the peak of the sword pool and said, that spirit sword looked thick and extraordinary, full of spiritual power.
"I'll tell you secretly, my master told me before I came, even if I take the first one, I won't use it to get a sword here, because," Xiao Ling'er blinked mysteriously, "My master has already taken away all the good ones!" Now it's all hanging in our martial arts hall! ”
"Really? Oh my God, it's no wonder that those dead old men were angry and wanted to snatch the prize back in spite of their old faces. ”
Lin Luoru naturally knew that the legendary figure a hundred years ago, after the leader of the Ten Thousand Swords Conference entered the Sword Forest, he was stunned to leave with hundreds of spirit swords. This sensational and talked about event that has been talked about to this day was done by Uncle Xiao when he was young!
This incident had a great impact, not only because of Uncle Xiao's brilliant achievements when he was a teenager, but also because of the beginning of the decline of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect.
It is rumored that the first place in the 10th Ten Thousand Swords Conference entered the Sword Forest and brought out hundreds of spirit swords, and took away as much as half of the spirit swords in the Sword Forest at once, and the six elders who were stunned all shot together, if it weren't for Bai Yue and Duan Siwei, I am afraid that the reputation of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect would be ruined at that time.
Coupled with the death of Yan Zisheng more than 100 years ago, Jiang Keqing was buried with him, and the Ten Thousand Swords Sect lost the seat of Baiyue Immortal Venerable, plus seven or eight years ago, Xuan Ji made a big fuss about the Ten Thousand Swords Sect and killed three elders.
The Ten Thousand Swords Sect was hit hard one after another, greatly damaged its vitality, and suddenly became the last of the three major sects in the Central Plains. If it weren't for Duan Siliang or the genuine Tianzun, this Ten Thousand Swords Sect might not be a big sect for a long time.
"So this time the Ten Thousand Swords Sect invited us to come, just to make a big splash. Let's have fun at this conference, don't do our best. Just take a look at this sword forest, if you want, let's go back to the sect this time and steal two! Although your Bicang is an artifact, you can't recognize the master, so it's better to have an extra spirit sword, just use it casually. ”
Xiao Ling'er thought that since the death of the Empress Bicang ten thousand years ago, the sword spirit had been sleeping in the sword and refused to come out. So no matter how good Lin Luoru is, he can't exert one-ten-thousandth of his strength.
The same is true of the previous Bicang holders, the sword spirit has never appeared, so it is better than nothing to let Lin Luoru choose another spiritual weapon.
