Chapter 121: Returning to Jin after the Seal

Yun Ru probed into Dai Yuan's heart and said: "Zu Li, after drinking this cup of poisonous wine, I will be in charge of all your people, and the emperor will almost complete it when he handed it over to me." ”

Yunru knew that this was a cup of poisonous wine, she didn't think much about it, and when she saw Zu Ti drinking it without any precautions, she stopped it loudly: "Big brother can't drink it!" ”

Zu Ti stopped the cup in his hand, and before he knew it, Dai Yuan reprimanded: "Who are you, dare to stop Zu Ti from drinking, you must know that this is a gift from the emperor, and you are despising the saint by doing this, and you will punish the sin." ”

Yun Ru thought to herself that if Akari stopped Zu Ti from drinking, he would definitely have to spend some time, so it would be better to use the ghost hand skills he had practiced to replace the poisonous wine, in that case, even if Zu Ti drank it, it would be just a glass of water, and of course he would not die.

Yun Ru talked back to Dai Yuan, looking for an opportunity, she said: "My lord, the little woman's name is Yun Ru, also called Qiliana, she is the third princess of Loulan Kingdom, I came here because Brother Zu is our friend of Loulan, and the reason why I stopped him from drinking is that I am not pious enough when I see him raise his glass, and I can't see his gratitude to the saint, so I want to teach him." ”

Ju Yuan said: "Okay, you can tell Zu Ti how to drink." ”

Yun Ru walked up to Zu Ti and said, "Big brother, since it is given by the emperor, you should stand facing the south, first raise your glass to the south with both hands, and then say thank you to the lord Longen, and then drink the wine." ”

Zu Ti did as Yun Ru said, and finally raised his glass and drank it all, he wiped his mouth and wondered in his heart: "Strange, what kind of wine is this, why does it not smell at all, but it seems to be the Longjing that I usually drink?" ”

Yun Ru knew in her heart that just now she finally changed her shape and replaced the poisonous wine with tea, thanks to the gambling skills she practiced at the beginning.

Dai Yuan didn't say anything, just stared at Zu Ti, and waited for him to fall to the ground and die violently, but left and right, Zu Ti didn't look poisoned at all, what the hell is going on?

Zu Ti said: "Lord Dai, the imperial order has been delivered, please have lunch before leaving." ”

When Dai Yuan heard this, he hurriedly said: "Don't worry, I just conveyed the holy decree just now, and the emperor's edict was not conveyed." ”

"Oracle? What else did the emperor say, Lord Dai, please speak. “

"That's right, when I was leaving, the emperor gave me a sword, and the emperor said, as soon as this sword arrives, I will come in person."

Yun Ru said in her heart: "It's really verbose, you just say that it's Shang Fang's sword." ”

Of course, Zu Ti understood that this was Shang Fang's sword, and he asked, "Lord Dai, what did the emperor say?" ”

Dai Yuan shook his sword, and then said: "The emperor ordered me to take over the Northern Expeditionary Army and be the commander on your behalf, from now on, you will be the deputy marshal, and you must report to me if you want to make any military moves, otherwise you will ......" Dai Yuan said with another flick of the golden spike on the sword.

What the! To take over the Northern Expeditionary Army!? When Zu Li heard this, he was completely stunned, Dai Yuan, a civil official, became a military general, how could a person with no military talent be the commander?

In fact, the emperor didn't have any dictation, he only gave Dai Yuan a word, kill Zu Ti and control his subordinates, but Zu Ti was not poisoned, so Dai Yuan took the emperor's dictation as the reason that he became the commander, and with Shang Fang's sword in hand, no one dared to object, including Zu Ti.

Yun Ru said angrily: "The emperor is really confused, let a literati to lead the army to fight, how can there be no reason to be undefeated!?" ”

"Yunru ......," Zu Ti stopped.

"I want to say, whether the emperor is doing this to beat Shi Le, or to help Shi Le, I don't understand, what is the emperor's intention in doing this?"

Dai Yuan said: "The emperor has his own principles, and we can only do what we want as courtiers." ”

Zu Ti knew that he could not change the holy will, so he said: "Lord Dai, Zu Ti obeys the order, and someone is coming!" ”

"General......" said a pro-soldier.

"Arrange a place for the marshal."

"Yes!"

The soldiers led Dai Yuan, and Yun Ru said, "Big brother, I want to say a few words to you alone." ”

Zu Xiaoping retreated from everyone, feeling thirsty, so he walked to the side of the desk and picked up the teacup, Yunru hurriedly said: "Big brother, don't drink it!" ”

"Yunru, what's wrong, you yelled when I drank just now, and now you are like this when I drink a cup of tea, what's going on?"

"Big brother, there is poisonous wine in the cup, this is a special poisonous wine, you can't smell anything abnormal in the cup!"

"Poisoned wine? How so? ”

Yun Ru stepped forward and snatched his cup and slumped on the ground, and white foam suddenly bubbled on the ground!

"Where did this poison come from!?"

"Big brother, this is the poisonous wine given by the emperor!"

"The emperor's gift?!"

"Yes, big brother, in fact, Dai Yuan was ordered to kill you, what he gave you just now was poisonous wine, I used the heart drilling technique to know the truth, so I stopped you, but you didn't listen and couldn't go against the holy will, I had to use my gambling skills to change shapes, and use the magic hand method to replace the poisonous wine for you, just now you drank just tea."

"So that's the case, why did the emperor kill me? Since I sent troops, I have recovered the lost territory for the Great Jin Dynasty, and the north of the Yellow River has belonged to my dynasty, so that Shile does not dare to look south, what is the crime of my ancestors!? ”

"Big brother, no matter what, the emperor no longer trusts you, the best way is to retire."

"But I haven't succeeded yet, the people on the north bank are looking forward to the Northern Expeditionary Army crossing the Yellow River, our grain, grass, ordnance, and horses have been completed, but at this time, the emperor's order is coming, and he will give me death, from then on, the military power will be transferred to Dai Yuan, and the great cause of the Northern Expedition will probably fail, and the previous achievements will be abandoned!" Zu Ti slapped the case with his hand, his eyes widened angrily, and suddenly he spat blood, Yunru was frightened: "Big brother, you must not be angry, it's a big deal, just don't do it, big brother ......" Yun Ru said and shed tears in distress.

"Do you think I'll be able to stop?"

"Big brother, just now I said I wanted to say a few words to you alone, do you know what I want to say to you?"

"I don't know."

"Big brother, actually, the purpose of my coming here is just to see you, because I'm about to get married......"

"Yunru, big brother, congratulations, the person you chose must be Zhongcai Jun, who is this person?"

"It's the prince of Persia, he has asked for marriage several times, I want to agree to him, what do you think, big brother?"

"We have been in contact with Prince Persia, he is a person with a sense of justice and responsibility, and the eldest brother is very relieved to marry him."

"But I want to change my mind now, seeing that you have made great contributions to the court, and you were almost killed by the emperor, I am really upset for you, since the court is unfair, why don't we let go of the world, leave the army, and not go to Loulan, change your name and surname to the grassland to herd horses, and live a plain and elegant life, isn't it? Big brother, would you like to? ”

"Yunru, you are escaping! Liu Kun and I were determined to fight for the country when we were in Taixue, even if the horse leather shroud was not hesitated, I can't let go when I encounter a little setback, although the emperor doesn't trust me now, but I can still be a pioneer, I can also go into battle to kill the enemy, and escape from the world for the sake of my son and personal feelings, that's not my person, Yunru, the prince of Persia is good, just get married......"

"Big brother, sometimes I also complain to myself, why did I come to the Central Plains in the first place, why did I meet you, why did I completely fall at the first sight of you, when I knew that I was in love with you, I found that I couldn't extricate myself, despite Jin Ziyan, despite your love, but I still love you regardless of it, I love humbly, I love without principles, I think it's the best way to leave you, stupidly think that distance can make me forget, can make you blurry, can dilute my love for you, but, I found that I was wrong, I can't forget you, I can't stop thinking about you, every night tossing and turning, it's all your shadow, every time I look at the sky by the Peacock River, I will also think of my eldest brother, in short, Yunru's world is only you, you are my whole world, it's all of mine, I can't imagine what I would do without you, I said I wanted to promise the Persian prince, that's just a lie to you, how could I promise him, you are our Loulan horse, even if you have only been for three days, I still say that Yunru will not marry you in this life! After Yunru finished speaking, she lay on Zu Li's shoulder and cried again.

Zu Ti didn't push her away, he didn't want to, he didn't want to say anything, any words were superfluous, or they could be hurt, he could only hug her back tightly.

At this time, Jin Ziyan opened the door curtain and came in, and when she saw this scene, she pointed at Yun Ru and stopped talking: "You... You..."

"Ziyan, Yunru is getting married, she is happy, don't you think too much?"

"Yunru is getting married? Who is it? Although Jin Ziyan knew it, she didn't want to break it, so she asked casually.

"It's the prince of Persia, you've seen it, this person is not bad, we should be happy for Yunru."

"yes, yes, hehe...... Jin Ziyan smiled insincerely.

At this moment, a soldier came to report: "Marshal Dai has arrived!" ……”

With the shout, Dai Yuan came to the big tent, he was wearing a military uniform, and asked Zu Li to retire irrelevant personnel and immediately open the account.

Yunru Jin Ziyan left the big tent, and the generals came to the big tent to line up in two shifts, Dai Yuan sat in the handsome position, and Zu Li stood in front of the case.

"Generals, from today onwards, stop the Northern Expedition, retreat to Huaiyin in ten days, and defend the Beijing Division, there must be no mistakes!"

Hearing Dai Yuan say this, the generals were quite puzzled, and asked one after another: "Why does the marshal want to retreat, do we have to give away our hard-earned results?" ”

"Generals, in fact, this is also what the emperor meant, and we can't ask more about the reasons, as soldiers, we can only obey."

Zu Ti said: "Marshal, I have something to ask for. ”

"Please."

"Retreat to Huaiyin, I want to be the queen of the palace."

"Your Highness?"

"Yes, I'm afraid that Shi Le will take the opportunity to cross the river to attack when he detects the retreat of our army, so Zu Ti asked His Royal Highness to ensure the safety of the whole army."

Dai Yuan thought to himself that it didn't hurt, as long as he could complete the errand assigned by the emperor, go with him, anyway, most of the Northern Expeditionary Army was going to be taken away, he agreed to Zu Li's request, and symbolically pulled out Zu Li's 300 men, Zu Li gritted his teeth and admitted.

Ten days later, Dai Yuan led the Northern Expeditionary Army to Huaiyin, and Zu Li left behind with 300 people, as well as Jin Ziyan and Yunru.

Zu Ti wanted to stay behind the palace, in fact, there was another reason, he knew that as soon as the Jin army withdrew, Shi Le would come to attack, and he wanted to set up a barrier for him, that is, the Tiger Prison Pass.

Tiger prison pass in the east of Luoyang, in the northwest of Xingyang, also known as Bishui Pass, this pass in the south of Artemisia Yue, north of the Yellow River, the mountains are staggered, self-proclaimed natural danger, there is a great "one husband when the pass, ten thousand people do not open the trend", for the past dynasties of soldiers must fight for the place.

The news of the Jin army's retreat to the south was quickly found out by Shi Le, but at the same time he also knew that Zu Ti was repairing the Tiger Prison Pass, because he was scared by Zu Ti, even if Zu Ti was left alone, he did not dare to venture into the name, the best way was to assassinate Zu Ti, Zu Ti died, the matter was solved, he sent eight horsemen to cross the river at night and sneak into the pass to assassinate Zu Ti.

Zu Ti was reading the book of war in the room, the four killed the guards and rushed into the room, Zu Ti did not leave his sword, drew his sword and fought with the four of them, they fought from the room to the outside of the room, Yun Ru just brought a bowl of lotus seed soup into the room, and was also knocked to the ground to the ancestor.

The four of them fought outside the room, and the soldiers also rushed over and surrounded them at the core, at this time, Jin Ziyan also came to help Zu Li, Zhixiong couldn't beat it, so he wanted to escape, but was blocked by Zu Li, the two were fighting, and the peach leopard threw out a hidden blade and flew towards Zu Li, Yunru saw it clearly, rushed to Zu Li's back, blocked the sleeve arrow, and fell to the ground with a bang.

"Yunru, how are you!?" When Zu Ti saw Yun Ru being hit by an arrow, he rushed to the crown in anger, and even cast the Xuankong sword technique, and killed the eight horsemen with Jin Ziyan.

Zu Ti hugged Yun Ru, Jin Ziyan approached her pulse, and shook her head at Zu Ti, Zu Ti held her head in his arms, Yun Ru only had her last breath left, she looked at Jin Ziyan and said, "Sister Jin, take good care of Zu ...... Big...... Brother ...... "After speaking, he tilted his head and never woke up."

Yunru ...... Yunru, I don't want you to die......" Zu Ti was overwhelmed with grief, and then spurted out a mouthful of blood!

Zu Ti hurriedly made three wooden kites and ordered two personal soldiers to send Yunru back to Loulan for burial.

In the following days, Zu Ti repaired the Tiger Prison Pass, recruited hundreds of soldiers again, and let Zu Yue have full authority to govern the army, because he knew that he was about to die, and it was no wonder that Zu Ti was suppressed by the imperial court and was depressed, how could it last long.

At the same time as Zu Ti cultivated the pass, he also told Jin Ziyan a thing, and on this day, he called Jin Ziyan to his side and said, "Ziyan, I have something to entrust to you." ”

"Big brother, please speak."

Zu Ti took out a package and said: "This is our Han family's heirloom jade seal, after being snatched away by Liu Zhao, Chen Xue stole it back and handed it over to me, at that time I wanted to hand it over to the emperor Sima Rui, but I saw that he had no enterprising heart, I am afraid that he is not the master of the people, so I want to wait and see, now it seems that he really disappointed me, although disappointed, but I still want to hand it over to him, I heard that Wang Dun is planning to usurp the throne, Wang Dun is in chaos, the world will suffer again, folk rumors, the one who gets the jade seal wins the world, although Sima Rui is not in every way, But I think the crown prince Sima Shaoming is brave and can become a generation of heroes, and he will inherit the unification one day, and he will be able to magnify my Han family, so I want you to hand it over to Sima Rui. ”

Jin Ziyan took it and said: "Big brother, I know you have a point, I will definitely hand it over to him, but big brother, I am so scared of the way you speak, why do you want to explain this?" ”

Zu Ti stroked his chest and said, "Ziyan, don't ask again, I'm afraid that I will die in battle one day, so I will explain in advance, and I want you to leave now, don't stay by my side anymore." ”

"Big brother, I don't allow you to say these unlucky words, and why are you driving me away?"

"I just want you to send it to the emperor as soon as possible, I don't have any other thoughts, you go quickly!" Zu Ti's voice became agitated.

"Big brother, don't be in a hurry, Ziyan will leave immediately."

The next day after Jin Ziyan left, Shile's army crossed the Yellow River, all the way to the Tiger Prison Pass, Zu Ti led hundreds of people to fight against Shile's 100,000 army, and used the danger to eliminate Shile's two horses and horses, and finally, Zu Ti fought to the last man, martyrdom.

Jin Ziyan got the news of Zu Li's death on the way, she understood the reason why Zu Li drove her away, and accelerated to Jian Ye, she left Zu Li's words behind her, and wanted to kill Sima Rui!

At night, Jin Ziyan sneaked into the palace, Sima Rui was reading in the imperial study, she pointed the palace maid and eunuch outside the door into the acupoint, Sima Rui didn't notice it, Jin Ziyan said in a deep voice: "Sima Rui! ”

Sima Rui heard someone call him by his name, and hurriedly raised his head and said, "What person?!" ”

Jin Ziyan drew her sword and put it on Sima Rui's neck and said, "Don't ask me who I am, I only ask you one sentence, why did you kill Zu Li?!" ”

Sima Rui said: "Because he didn't listen to the dispatch, he refused to go back to the teacher to help me!" ”

"Zu Ti's Northern Expedition made great achievements for the imperial court and recovered his homeland for you, just when he was about to cross the river to the north, you had to transfer him back to defense, try to ask the people in the north who will rescue them, and when will the lost land be recovered!"

"I don't care, what I want is a complete court, if Wang Dun comes to attack, I need the Northern Expeditionary Army to destroy him and protect the Sima Dynasty!"

"Emperor Dog, you dare to tell the truth, you will only think about your Sima family, but you have ever thought about the people of the world!"

"Do you think I don't? I had no intention of being the emperor, since moving to Jianye, I was supported by the Wang family, and I was able to favor the south of the Yangtze River, I also wanted to be a good emperor, so I did my best to operate, but I had no reputation in the royal family, so I had to rely on the Wang family, but it also caused the situation that the Wang family was greater than the imperial power, and gradually Wang Dun was not satisfied, and wanted to sit in the world by himself, my military power was all in the hands of the Wang family, and the court only recruited officials, slaves, and servants to fill the army, and I could not recruit back the Northern Expeditionary Army, but Zu Ti should not be killed, I had to make this decision, and ordered Dai Yuan to poison Zu Ti, but it was unsuccessful, Dai Yuan improvised to the situation, seized the power of the ancestors, and transferred back to the Northern Dynasty Army, so that my heart settled down, I did this because I didn't want Wang Dun to cause trouble in the world, wasn't it for the sake of the world, not for the sake of the people of the world? ”

"Even if you want to guard against Wang Dun, you can let Zu Ti run the Northern Expedition on the one hand, and guard against Wang Dun on the other, as long as you entrust the important things to Zu Ti, I believe that Zu Ti will be able to resist Shile's southern invasion immediately, and Wang Dun will not dare to mess around, now it is different, Wang Dun will raise troops to make trouble when he gets the news of Zu Ti's death, you dare to say that you have no selfish intentions!?"

"Hahahaha, you are really smart, even if you don't kill me, I am also a person who is about to die, these years the government decree has not been out of the imperial power, I am the emperor who is already dying, I should be enough, if you want to kill me, just do it, but before killing me, I can tell you that I can't let Zu Ti be the generalissimo of the army and horses that day, because I don't want him to be big, I don't want him to be difficult to control him, I don't want him to become the second Wang Dun!"

"Enough! Dog Emperor, your selfishness killed Zu Ti, suffer death! ”

Jin Ziyan was just about to make a move, and a person walked in, he was in his twenties, and he looked extraordinary, he was the crown prince Sima Shao.

When Sima Shao saw this scene, he was about to shout that there was an assassin, but Jin Ziyan stopped him and said, "If you shout again, I will kill the Dog Emperor!" ”

"You...... You...... Why do you want to kill my father! ”

"Because he's damned!"

Sima Rui said: "Shao'er, don't ask, anyway, Wang Dun is about to start his army, sooner or later he will die, or let me die early, it's a hundred." ”

Sima Shao said: "Father, Wang Dun has already entered Stone City, tonight the child has already visited his camp in disguise, it turns out that although Wang Dun's soldiers are very strong, but that is only the surface, in fact, many subordinates are unwilling to rebel with him, the child is willing to beg a brigade of soldiers to break Wang Dun!" ”

Hearing such imposing words, Jin Ziyan couldn't help but look at Sima Shao with admiration, it seems that Brother Zu is right, Sima Shao does have something extraordinary, just dare to personally spy on the military situation, he will definitely be able to stabilize the country.

Sima Rui said: "Shao'er has really grown up, okay, I will order you to lead the troops and horses and command the enemy!" ”

"Yes!"

Jin Ziyan slowly withdrew her sword, she didn't want to kill Sima Rui again, because Zu Li didn't want her to kill Sima Rui, his spirit in the sky would make her let go of her hatred, she took out the package on her body and threw it to Sima Shao, Sima Shao opened it and looked: "Father, it's the jade seal of the country!" ”

"What? Passing on the jade seal of the country, I finally got it, it is rumored in the world that whoever gets the jade seal will win the world, it seems that Wang Dun will not be able to win, and our Sima family will be able to prosper forever! Sima Rui said.

Jin Ziyan said: "The sentence that those who have to be the jade seal win the world is very wrong!" ”

Sima Shao asked, "Why?" ”

"It should be the one who wins the hearts of the people to win the world, if you can't be people-oriented, what's the use of having a jade seal, if a nation and a country can't make great efforts to govern the country and enrich the people, then when he faces foreign enemies, the result is to be trampled on, whether it is the common people, or the princes and nobles, or the emperor who is high above, including the queen, no one is spared, the past is not forgotten, the teacher of the future, you can do it yourself!"

Jin Ziyan collected her sword and escaped from the palace, and came to the Tiger Prison Pass overnight, because she learned that Zu Ti's body had been exposed for three days, so she wanted to steal back his body and bury it well.

Jin Ziyan stole the corpse of Zu Ti, paid for the craftsman to make two wooden kites, Zu Ti came to Loulan, she wanted to bury him in Loulan, let him accompany Yunru forever, and let his heroic spirit protect Loulan!

After doing all this, Jin Ziyan returned to Jianye to help Sima Shao quell Wang Dun's rebellion in secret.

At night, Jin Ziyan sent the signal to the sky, and in the high starry sky, a firework exploded, and gradually formed a pattern, which was the pattern of chickens and dogs crossing their necks, the earth dragon order of the Earth Dragon Gate!
