Text Chapter 777 Langya and farewell
As for the changes that occurred in the west side hall, it is not that no one knows about the later anomaly. If Tian Wujiang and King Wuqiu Shou could have been reported immediately, maybe they could have made some amends. It's just a pity that they didn't know anything from beginning to end. The Captain of the Yulin Military Academy in question suppressed a certain secret, and also opened the way for them to go crazy all the way to their destruction.
When the fire broke out, Captain Yulin, who led hundreds of people to guard the west side of the palace, although he didn't know what was going on inside, he immediately ordered his subordinates to take out their swords and string their arrows, and tightly seal the side of the palace they were responsible for, and make all their efforts to take precautions.
Not long after, two carriages came from the direction of the fire in the west side of the temple, and they were running very fast. It's doubtful at a time like this. The young lieutenant was taken aback, and hurriedly drew his sword to block it, and at the same time ordered everyone to prepare crossbow arrows!
Then he heard the neighing of the war horse, and saw that the road ahead was blocked, and a man and a horse snatched out of the carriage, and the long sword was shining, and he opened the way first. The other party's purpose is obvious, it is to force it through.
Yu Lin Jun is not a vegetarian! If you want to wield a sword here, you can't kill it. Although the young lieutenant led by him was born in Chang'an, he thought that he was also a warrior who charged on the battlefield outside the Saiwai back then. Immediately, he rushed over with a knife, trying to kill this troublemaker on the spot.
However, a few paces away, as if he had seen something incredible, the captain stood on his feet sharply. His eyes widened, and he looked at it again in disbelief, his mouth opened, and finally he didn't shout. The moonlight was like a blur, and although the face of the horse could not be seen clearly in the light of the torches, the sword and the horse were all too familiar to those of them who had swept the battlefield under the leadership of the other party.
"Well, don't kill easily! Brother Yulinjun, please come over for a moment. ”
The driver of the carriage at the front poked his head out and reached out to stop the man on the horse who wanted to go on a killing spree. And the latter sentence was said to the captain of the Yulin military academy not far away.
The young lieutenant turned around and signaled to the Yulin Army, who was waiting in battle, not to act rashly. Then he lowered his head and walked over, and at first silently gave a military salute to the figure on his horse. Then he leaned over the carriage and listened to the whisper of his driver with an excited look.
"There is a change in the palace, and I act at the behest of His Majesty...... As you will know later, time is pressing, please let me go. ”
"Master Hou! It turns out that you don't have ...... Good! Rest assured. ”
The lieutenant is a clever man. All the nonsense does not need to be said, immediately get out of the way and let go. He didn't understand what was going on, but he knew it must be confidential and extremely important. As for why he trusted the other party so much, it was very simple, because the person on the horse was Huo Quai, the general he had followed in the past, and it was the legendary dead Yuan Zhao who drove the carriage!
"Yuanhou! General Huo...... May you all the best! ”
Looking at the carriages and horses that were gradually disappearing into the night, the lieutenant took a deep breath and buried the secret deep in his heart. Then he turned around and took the urgent order sent by the commander of the Yulin Army, glanced at it, and shouted loudly to order everyone to take immediate action and start searching for suspicious people near the palace.
Langya City is not big, Huo Quai, who rushed out of the east city gate in one breath, put away her long sword, and she strangled the reins of the dragon horse vigorously to prevent it from running too fast. For half a day, her heart has been pounding violently, and she doesn't know whether to be sad or happy. This is not because of the wanton killing, but because when she was desperate after running thousands of miles, the person she wanted to see the most suddenly appeared in front of her.
Confirm that there is no danger ahead. She simply stopped the horse, waited until the carriage caught up, and then quietly followed. In the moonlight, leaving Ryoma to move forward on her own, her eyes could no longer take away from the person driving.
There were two wagons loaded with all the kings who had been rescued from the fire of the Western Temple. They were still in a coma and were cared for separately by King Wusun and King Sabbat. The carriage that followed behind was driven by Qiu Wu, and Yuan Zhao personally acted as the driver of this one.
The sound of the tide of the sea can already be heard in front, and the tide rises and falls on a moonlit night, which is exactly the emotion in people's hearts. Yuan Zhao sighed slightly, turned his head and saw that tears had already fallen on the face that had taken off the veil, and he said softly.
"I'm sorry for you...... Bing'er. Fight so hard, don't you want to die? ”
But a few simple words caused her sadness to be overwhelming, and she couldn't control it anymore. She can put on armor and kill thousands of people as cold as iron. She can leap on a horse with a gun and look down on all strong enemies like grass mustard flying sand. Thousands of mountains and twilight snow are thousands of miles away, and she can taste the pain of wind and frost in order to find his news...... But as long as she saw him and listened to his words, her bruises all over her body and all her armor were shattered, leaving only grievances and dependence.
"Master...... If you really died this time, I didn't want to live again! ”
"What's so good about dying, don't think like that anymore. No matter what happens in the future, each of us should cherish it! ”
"In your absence, there is nothing to cherish!"
"Stupid words! Whoever leaves can live, and you have to adapt to it in the future....... ”
"I can't! Over the years, except on the battlefield, only you have been left in my world...... Without Master, Bing'er can't live. ”
After life and death, reunion after the catastrophe. The woman who had never hidden her heart from him finally didn't have to worry about anything anymore. There seemed to be a fire burning in her tearful eyes, and the expression of affection in her heart was more resolute than ever.
Yuan Zhao felt a little guilty. Everything he has done is not disappointed by the land of China, nor by the people of the world. The only thing I'm sorry for is his red faces. There are many times when the torment of parting can be more cruel than life and death.
Soon after, in Langyatai by the sea, the kings who escaped death finally came to their senses. When they figured out what they had experienced tonight, they all looked at each other with mixed emotions on their faces.
"Yuanhou, since Taiyue Mountain, we have always thought that you have really suffered misfortune...... To be able to see you reappear tonight, and thanks to you and General Huo for rescuing, we are both grateful and admired. Yuanhou is safe and sound, which is really good! ”
In any case, everyone was able to survive thanks to their timely arrival. This kindness is thick enough. Seeing these people bowing to the ground and giving a big salute, Yuan Zhao hurriedly beckoned them all to get up. Seriously speaking, it is unlucky enough for a total of more than 30 extraterritorial royal families to come here thousands of miles to suffer unwarranted disasters.
"Yuanhou, we are all sincere and want to return to the Han Dynasty, and the time that we have been far away from our homeland and come to the Han Dynasty for so long is enough to express our sincerity. But why did the emperor of the Han Dynasty put us to death? ”
almost took his life, and no one wants to die. King Wusun's body was covered in blood and his expression was embarrassed, and his tone was full of indignation. And his question is exactly where everyone else is suspicious.
Yuan Zhao stood on the edge of the cliff, the moonlight was just right, and the shadow of the warship could already be seen gradually appearing on the sea. Qiu Wu looked out not far away, preparing to guide the ships that came to meet the shore. And the woman standing by the sword had already hidden all her murderous aura and stared silently, but now she only had him in her eyes.
"It's not the Han Dynasty that wants to kill you tonight, let alone the emperor, it's just a few ministers who want to take advantage of the opportunity to make trouble."
Yuan Zhao looked at everyone calmly. He put away his smile and his expression was serious. Because he represents the country at the moment, in the face of such a major event, he must eliminate the misunderstanding as soon as possible, so as not to bring unnecessary trouble to the development of the dynasty's foreign relations in the future.
"But Yuanhou, it was the emperor's edict that summoned the palace banquet, and it was the Yulin army ...... who wanted to kill!"
"This is someone falsely transmitting a will, His Majesty the Emperor has never given such an edict!"
Yuan Zhao interrupted their questions. A ray of sadness passed through his eyes, and then he lowered his head and said in a sad tone.
"An hour ago, the emperor died ......."
Hearing this shocking news, there was silence on the Langya stage. Everyone was shocked, and they all had a premonition that maybe the Han Dynasty was going to experience another violent political upheaval.
"I see...... Yuanhou, what should we do now? ”
"Don't worry. Although the emperor's death was sudden, Chang'an has the crown prince in him, and the political situation will soon stabilize. Even if someone wants to take advantage of the opportunity to cause chaos, their ambition will never succeed. As for your safety, don't worry, I've already arranged it all. The receiving ship is below, you will stay in the East China Sea for a while, it won't be long, and when the situation in Chang'an is calmed, I will send someone to pick you up. After all, you still have to attend His Majesty's funeral and the enthronement ceremony of the new monarch. ”
Hearing that he had already made arrangements, the kings were relieved. After coming to the Central Plains for so long, after hearing and witnessing, these people all know it in their hearts. Yuan Zhao is a person who can definitely be trusted. What's more, there is no other way to think about it now, this is already their only choice.
"Everything is arranged by Yuanhou!"
came to the high war ship under the Langya platform, and after all the foreign vassal kings boarded the ship, they returned and left. Liu Shu, who was standing on the deck of the ship, hugged Xiao Yuanshuo, looking at the confused figure standing in the wind on the top of the cliff from afar, her heart was full of sourness and reluctance. And Yuan Shuo still had tears in the corners of his eyes, obviously he had just cried.
"Mother, why didn't Daddy stay? Shuo'er couldn't bear him. ”
"Because there are still many big things for him to do...... Shuo'er, didn't he already promise you, Daddy, and he will be back soon. ”
Yuan Shuo looked back aggrieved for the last time. In the minds of children, the figure that gradually faded away may really be the guide to the future direction of the Han Dynasty as everyone legends!
The sea is vast, and Langya is lonely. Yuan Zhao, who had been silent for a long time, turned around and strode away. Ryoma hissed loudly, and the long sword followed closely behind Huo Quai.
"Let's go! Let's go back to Chang'an ....... ”
