Chapter 56: The Ominous Man
Somewhere in the palace, the sound of fighting faintly came from the side of the Bamboo Forest Hall, and the palace maids guarding the door of the palace whispered with panicked faces, and a team of forbidden troops rushed over from outside the wall to the side of the Bamboo Forest Hall, and they were not lightly frightened by the weak women inside the wall: How could something happen to the good and dignified!
"I heard that Your Majesty is hosting a banquet for the Yuwen envoy of the Zhou State in the Bamboo Forest Hall tonight, how can this be good!"
"Could it be that Yuwen envoy wants to kill His Majesty and become the son of Liang Guo?"
"Nonsense, it must be Your Majesty who killed the commander of the rebel army of the Zhou State to be loyal to the Great Zhou!"
"Isn't Yuwen Envoy from Zhou Guo, what the hell are you talking about!"
"It's terrible, the sister who escaped from the Zhulin Hall just now said that King Anping killed His Majesty's life and became His Majesty himself!"
In the dormitory, the ninth princess Xiao Jiuniang sat on the couch in a daze, her hands tightly grasping the corners of her clothes and sobbing with her head, tears falling on her knees like broken beads, wetting the silk skirt.
Gui is the princess of Liangguo, she only has a surname, but no name, and is called Jiuniang according to the ranking, all of which originates from the month she was born: February.
Jiangnan customs: Those born in February are ominous, so Xiao Jiuniang was sent out of the palace shortly after birth, and was adopted by Xiao Qi, the sixth brother of Emperor Liang, the king of Dongping.
In view of this, it is even more impossible for the baby girl to return to the palace to let her stay with her biological parents, and the responsibility of raising her was handed over to her uncle Zhang Ke, and since then, the golden branch and jade leaf of the Liang State have grown up among the people.
"It's all me, it's me who hurt Aya" Xiao Jiuniang muttered to herself as she listened to the faint discussion outside the hall, she had lived with the uncle who thought it was her Aya and the uncle who thought it was her own aunt. It wasn't until a few days ago that he was able to return to the palace to reunite with Ye Niang.
Zhang Kegui is an uncle of the country, but he can live in poverty. Xiao Jiuniang and her aunt learned to do housework. Dozens of acres of thin fields near the loquat temple outside the city have become the largest source of livelihood for the family, in order to save the cost of hiring tenant farmers, a family of three often work in the field, and gradually the sensible Jiuniang began to find herself different from other children: what about my Aya and Aniang?
Zhang Ke's answer to this question is very simple: "I'll know when Jiuniang grows up." Although life was difficult, Zhang Ke, who was born in a scholarly family, insisted on teaching Xiao Jiuniang to learn characters, and then the second question came: "Uncle, what is my name?" ”
Zhang Ke's answer to this question is still very simple: "I'll know when Jiuniang grows up." ”
However, before she grew up, her aunt died of illness, Xiao Jiuniang and her uncle Zhang Ke continued to live a tight life, until she began to grow up but knew one thing: she was an ominous person, so she couldn't meet her biological Yeniang.
Then the third question arises: "What do Aya and A-Niang do?" ”
With a phoenix-patterned jade pendant, it was put into the palm of her hand by her uncle. Xiao Jiuniang knows her life experience: her Aya is the son of Liang Guo, her A-Niang is the queen of Liang Guo, and she is the princess of Liang Guo.
She killed her uncle and uncle, and killed her uncle, such an ominous person should not return to the palace so as not to harm the son of Liang Guo, because she was sent out of the palace soon after birth, so Aya A-Niang did not name her, but only had a surname.
Xiao Jiuniang continued to live tremblingly, she was afraid that she would kill her uncle who was as close as Aya, and as the days passed, Uncle lived well, and it seemed that everything would be fine, until a month ago.
When she and her uncle went out of the city to farm, they encountered Chen Jun's sneak attack on Jiangling, so they couldn't go back to the city and hid in their own hut in Loquat Village. After hiding for nearly half a month, Chen Jun began to attack the village, and seeing that he was about to suffer, Xiao Jiuniang and his uncle hid in the nearby loquat temple, hoping that the Buddha would bless them and escape the catastrophe.
That catastrophe still came, Chen Jun broke into the temple, Xiao Jiuniang and Uncle struggled to escape, but they were still unlucky: Uncle was killed by her.
Although General Zhou Guo, who saved himself, said that his uncle might be hiding somewhere to recuperate after being wounded, and he would definitely come back in the future. But after waiting for many days, there was still no trace, so Xiao Jiuniang accepted the reality sadly in her heart: Uncle will never come back.
Back in the city, Xiao Jiuniang didn't have the courage to live alone, she remembered Aya and Aniang, who had never met, and after struggling for a few days, she mustered up the courage to find her relatives.
After some twists and turns, she was finally reunited with her relatives, and the joy gradually faded after a few days, Aya only came to see her once and then never showed up again, A-Niang came to sit and talk from time to time, but the number of times was getting less and less.
Only his own brother Thirteen Officials often came to play with her, but not long after he sprained his foot, Xiao Jiuniang's ears sounded a whisper: "The Ninth Princess is an ominous person, don't rely on her too close, His Royal Highness Xin'an is so suffering"
"I heard that the official family wants to send the ninth princess out of the palace to find a good family to settle down"
In view of this, Xiao Jiuniang felt that she was really an ominous person, and even Aya and A-Niang disliked it, so she heard that there was chaos in the palace and Aya was killed, and she affirmed this statement.
Not only that, but she also restrained the Yuwen Tongjun who had a great kindness to her, and the brother of the Yuwen Tongjun is said to have died in Zhulin Hall, and can the Yuwen Tongjun survive?
"If I hadn't come to this world, it would have been great, there wouldn't have been so many people killed," Xiao Jiuniang muttered to herself, then stood up calmly, looked up at the direction of the Bamboo Forest Hall, smiled sadly, and then walked towards the hall with a resolute face.
Outside the hall, several close attendants hurriedly came to the palace maids and said to take the nine princesses to the Phoenix Pavilion quickly, the queen and the princesses are there to be guarded by the forbidden army, so as not to be harmed by the chaotic army.
After knocking on the door for a long time, there was no movement inside, and the palace maids looked at each other, and after a moment of entanglement, they pushed the door in, only to find that it was empty.
"Where's the princess, where has the princess gone!" ……
In the east of the city, on the street, Yu Wenwen marched quickly under the escort of everyone, behind him was a group of soldiers, the sun was setting, the night was falling, walking on the dimly lit street, looking up, there was a dark shadow all around, and it seemed that there were ambushes everywhere.
"Shopkeeper Wang, how are you observing the situation in the past few days?" Yu Wenwen asked one person next to him, that person was Wang Yue, a merchant of Chen Guo that he rescued from the Chen army camp, because it was inconvenient to settle women in the barracks, so Yu Wenwen found a house on the east street of the city for Wang Yue and his wife to live in.
Then by the way, monitor the street situation.
"County Lord, there is nothing wrong with it these days, it's just that a man with a northland accent seems to have moved in to a house on the second street corner this afternoon." Wang Yue whispered, Yuwen Wen rescued him and took him in, and the husband and wife made him grateful, and naturally did his best.
He took the opportunity to walk around every day, one is to find out the streets and alleys, and the other is to observe whether there are changes in the surrounding residents, this is what Yu Wenwen deliberately explained, that is, to prevent someone from laying an ambush on the east street of the city, and so on, when Yu Wenwen led the troops into the city, he had sent someone to send his wife back to the barracks, and he refused to go out of the city, so he insisted on following Yuwen Wen to march.
"Hear it all? That's probably where the birdmen are ambushing!" Yuwen Wen sneered, and Yang Ji, who was on full guard beside him, whispered if he needed to take the lead, but Laihu'er, who was following behind, took the initiative to ask Ying.
"Unification of the army, if the other party is ambushed in advance, it is probably necessary to wait for the unification army to appear before starting, it is better to let a few people go over first." After a while, he looked at the dark street in front of him, "I didn't have armor, the other party must have thought it was a miscellaneous soldier and didn't care, so I waited until I touched the edge of the house."
Laihu'er judged that the target of the other party's ambush was Yuwen Wen and other 'senior generals' wearing Mingguang armor, so if he wanted to come to a general, he would plan to fight the front station, and the other party saw that he was dressed flatly, and he must have mistaken it for the big head soldier who opened the road test trap in front of him, so he would not make a move, and it was to take this opportunity that they walked to the ambush site and suddenly broke through the door and killed the ambush.
"Come on, the Assassin may be ruthless, are you willing to take the risk?" Yuwenwen looked at Lai Hu'er and asked, the other party has a very high sense of fighting, he doesn't want to pour cold water, but he is also a little worried, this is the future famous general he recruited by **** luck.
"Don't worry, I'm not going to get along!"
"Very good, Lord Tian, let the crossbowmen pay attention to follow and cover later, and the other archers pay attention to both sides!" Yuwen Wen didn't give a direct order from his mother-in-law, "Lord Yang, arrange for someone to answer and the queen of the palace!" ”
This road is the only way to the palace from the loquat gate, if you go elsewhere, the road is first narrow and roundabout, and then it is much farther, and the predicted ambush is also considered a yang conspiracy here: either take a shortcut and pass from here and be ambushed by me, or take a long way to delay the time and wait until the palace dishes are cold.
Looking at the palace wall in the distance, Yu Wenwen waved his hand forward, and Laihu'er and the others were about to move forward, when suddenly a person came out of the street house, raised his hands and shouted, don't hurt people, and ran towards Yu Wenwen and his party.
Zhang Yu glanced at Yu Wenwen and saw him nodding, so he rushed forward through the crowd and pressed the other party to the ground: "Who are you, what are you going to do!" ”
"Don't hurt anyone, I'm here to join the army and lead the way!" The man whispered in an eager tone, and he let Zhang Yu hold on without the slightest struggle.
Yang Ji saw that Yuwen Wen was about to step forward, and hurriedly raised his hand to stop him, and then stepped forward and pushed the other party's hands back: "What road do you want to take?" ”
"Lang Jun, Lang Jun!" The man desperately squeezed out a smile and shouted at Yuwenwen, but in Yuwenwen's opinion, his smile was more ugly than crying, but in the dim light, he felt that this person was a little familiar.
"Lang Jun, it's next, that day to see each other and ask about marriage"
In an instant, a thought flashed through the minds of everyone around: Ask about marriage? The commander of the army would actually ask about marriage? The commander would actually ask for marriage with such an obscene man?
"Enough is enough!" Yuwen Wen grabbed his throat with black lines in his head, "Seriously, what do you want to do!" ”
"Lang Jun is going to the palace? You are familiar with the next route, and please follow the next! ”
"How are you going to take Ben General to the palace?" Yuwen Wen patted the other party's cheek and asked with a smile, this unknown person was a little suspicious, and Wang Yue, who was standing next to him, sneered when the person said a general direction: "Nonsense, what you said is a long detour!" ”
"No nonsense, no nonsense," the man whispered, looking at the tip of the knife that had reached between his eyebrows, "it is absolutely reliable to guarantee his life." ”
"Why should Ben believe you?"
"Lang Jun must believe in the next!" (To be continued.) )
