128 Trade-offs
Yu Wenfu was dejected by a deep sense of frustration.
He thought that he could force He Zhizhou to be like a lost dog, even if he finally returned to Shangjing, even if he finally became the emperor of Daliang, but Daliang has now been plagued by him like this, the government is chaotic and people are panicking, He Zhizhou wants to rectify the loopholes and problems left by these little emperors, I am afraid that he will be busy and anxious, and if he wants to restore the previous level of Daliang, he will not be able to do it in three or five years. And not only these internal troubles, but also the external worries brought by Yun and Yan. No matter how powerful and capable He Zhizhou is, can he quickly revitalize this line of beams with his own strength?
But he never thought that while he came to Daliang alone and messed up Daliang into this appearance, He Zhizhou was not idle, and he also used his body to govern others. And his current situation is much more difficult than He Zhizhou, there are many princes of Yunguo, and all of them are ambitious and refuse to settle down, and he, the prince, is already trembling on thin ice, for fear that if he doesn't pay attention, he will be made into a sieve by a person named a brother. Da Liang and his party, he came here to earn credit, but he didn't expect not only to fold himself here, but also to give the group of wolf-like brothers the opportunity to snatch everything that originally belonged to him. Even if he can really save his life and go back to Yunguo this time, I'm afraid that he will be killed by the brothers who are waiting to find him wrong all the time!
But he couldn't admit defeat so easily, he raised his head and tried to make himself act as if nothing happened, "No matter which one wins in the end, I believe that no one is as generous as Bengong and is willing to give up most of the Yun Kingdom." If the regent can save the life of this palace, this palace will keep its promise today. What does the regent think? ”
"What His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said is true, but this king is too busy to take care of himself at the moment, where can he protect His Highness's life?" He Zhizhou smiled faintly, looking like he couldn't help it, "If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince could show mercy to his subordinates before and don't cause so many troubles for this king, how could this king be flawless and not be able to help His Royal Highness the Prince?" ”
In other words, all this was caused by Yuwen Fu.
Yuwen was silent, knowing that he would not be able to impress He Zhizhou for a while, but he didn't get rid of himself as soon as he came, thinking that even if he wanted his life, it wouldn't be in this moment and a half. He raised his hand and gently knocked on the table, and suddenly smiled, "I heard that Princess Mingyue's situation is not very good?" ”
He Zhizhou's eyes, which were still smiling, instantly flashed with yin and bloodthirsty emotions, and he said casually, "Thanks to His Royal Highness the Prince." ”
His voice was cold, and his handsome face was gloomy and cold.
Yu Wenfu exhaled lightly, "The palace doesn't dare to claim this credit - to tell you the truth, I heard that the prince and Princess Huanting, who had pretended to be the palace's henchman, went back to the capital together?" I don't know if Princess Na Wanting ever told the prince that because the palace trusts Dewdrop, the person who keeps the secret medicine for the palace along the way is Dewdrop. The dew disappeared that night, and then Princess Wanting took the suddenly stupid Princess Mingyue to find the prince - the prince knew the reason why the palace wanted to take Princess Mingyue back to Yunguo at all costs, how could he know that the secret medicine would be used for a long time and cause people to be stupid and indiscriminately give the medicine to Princess Mingyue? Princess Mingyue, who has become stupid, is of no use to the palace, and the palace is trying her best, not to get a person who is useless to the palace. ”
Yun Guo was retaliated by He Zhizhou, and compared with Da Liang, it makes no sense that Yan Guo can be alone and take advantage of the fisherman. If he can lead the water to the east and let He Zhizhou transfer most of his hatred and energy to Yan Kingdom, he can't say that he can still have a glimmer of life. In any case, Princess Huanting calculated against him, and he couldn't get out of this evil breath for the time being, but it didn't prevent him from using He Zhizhou's hand to get out of this evil breath.
Pull Yan Guo into the water and make this continent as chaotic as possible!
He Zhizhou's originally lazy body slowly sat up straight, and he narrowed his gloomy and cold eyes slightly, "If you let this king know that you made up nonsense to deceive this king, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, this king promises to let you know how the word regret is written!" ”
He Huo Ran got up, threw up his sleeves and strode out, shouting loudly as he walked: "Qiu Hai, immediately send someone to Shifang Town, no matter what the price is, be sure to bring Princess Huanting to this king to the capital!" ”
Immediately, someone left.
He Zhizhou stood outside the door for a while, as if calming down the surging anger, "Lead the prince of Yunguo down to rest, be careful, this king doesn't want anyone's head to be blown up suddenly." ”
The bearded man stepped forward with a grin: "His Royal Highness the Prince, I am offended." ”
A pair of hands touched Yuwenfu's whole body as fast as lightning, and under Yuwenfu's angry gaze as black as the bottom of a pot, he handed the two thunderbolts he found to He Zhizhou, "Lord Wang, there are really good things." ”
He Zhizhou squinted at his hand for a moment, and then lightly ordered: "Send it to Little Marquis An, he knows how to deal with it." ”
The beard answered, and called someone to take Yuwenfu down. After a while, An Kang's eyes lit up and he walked over with vague footsteps like drunk, "Oh my God, this is a thunderbolt, it looks really ugly, it's ugly, but it's really easy to use." I have already asked people to keep the drawings as they are, and I have sent all the drawing papers to Princess Mingyue. Oh my mother, I can't believe that Yu Wenfu really has a thunderbolt in his hand, you said that he was in the same room with you just now, why didn't he think of blowing you up to death? It can be seen that this person is really stupid, stupid to the point of home......"
"Auntie, are they alright?" He Zhizhou interrupted An Kang, who was talking upside down because of excitement and joy, and asked about the safety of Mrs. An and the others.
Ankang replied with a smile: "Okay, they are very good." Fortunately, the person you sent to pick up was one step faster, otherwise...... The consequences are unimaginable! ”
The little emperor was crazy, and even his own imperial aunt was assassinated with his own hands, so at this time, he naturally wanted to kill whoever was not pleasing to the eye. After coming out of the palace of the eldest princess, the little emperor went straight to the mansion of the Marquis of Xiaoyao, but fortunately they sneaked into the capital one step ahead of time, so that the people took Mrs. Tai and Fan Ge'er and others out. The little emperor went straight to the Xiaoyao Marquis Mansion, destined to pounce on him.
Just a spy came to reply, "The emperor ordered someone to break into the Xiaoyao Marquis's mansion, and because he didn't see Mrs. An and the little son, he was furious, and he killed someone when he saw someone with a sword...... The Xiaoyao Hou Mansion is no longer a chicken and a dog. ”
The smile on An Kang's face disappeared suddenly, he clenched his teeth tightly, and the blue tendons on his forehead jumped suddenly, "The vertical son is really crazy!" ”
Kill someone you see! There are almost hundreds of family servants in the Xiaoyao Hou Mansion, and he has been crazy to such a point.
"Lord Wang, what are we waiting for? This madman can't stay any longer! ”
……
The little emperor seemed to know that his chances to wantonly kill were running out, and in just one night, there were more than a dozen families who were ruthlessly slaughtered.
When the little emperor was on a killing spree, Huang Hongfei was taking the bright moon to the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion at night. The streets at night were full of patrolling soldiers, and Mingyue led Huang Hongfei's clothes and followed him closely, his big eyes full of curiosity and excitement.
"Xiaofei, it's so funny, so many people haven't noticed the two of us." Along the way, she avoided many sentry posts and soldiers patrolling the night, and Mingyue became more and more excited.
"Shh Huang Hongfei led her to hide in a dark alley not far from the Yong'an Hou Mansion, and watched the patrolling soldiers pass by the gate of the Yong'an Hou Mansion one after another, Huang Hongfei hurriedly lowered his voice, "You promised me that when I didn't ask you to speak, you weren't allowed to speak." ”
Along the way, Huang Hongfei was most worried about the old lady of Yong'anhou's mansion, after entering the city, he panicked to come to Yong'anhou's mansion to find someone, but he was entangled by the bright moon, because he slept too much during the day, he couldn't sleep at night, so he had to follow Huang Hongfei. Huang Hongfei was eager to save people, and persuaded and persuaded her not to listen to her, so he had to hide from He Zhizhou and bring her out.
"I'm sorry, I was wrong." Mingyue hurriedly admitted her mistake, "I didn't mean to speak, I promise never to speak again." ”
As soon as he finished guaranteeing, he couldn't help but ask, "Where are we going to get in?" ”
"Follow me." Huang Hongfei was about to take Mingyue around to the back door of the Yong'an Marquis Mansion, and after listening to it, his expression became serious and nervous.
"What's wrong, what's wrong?" Mingyue leaned beside him and asked repeatedly, her eyes followed Huang Hongfei's line of sight to look at the street outside.
Huang Hongfei pulled Mingyue behind him, his expression full of solemnity: "There are a lot of people coming." ”
The sound of horses' hooves, armor, and running.
There are a lot of people coming this way.
Shangjing City is now heavily guarded, and there is no one on the street before night, and ordinary people dare not ride horses on the street late at night, let alone bring a lot of guards, and the identity of the person who came is about to come out.
I just didn't expect him to come so quickly.
Huang Hongfei knew that he couldn't delay any longer, so he pulled Mingyue and quietly jumped onto the beam, and after carrying Mingyue skillfully on his shoulders, he quickly ran to the back door of Yong'anhou's Mansion like a dexterous raccoon cat.
The Yong'an Hou Mansion was quiet at this time, only the palace lamps hanging under the eaves of each courtyard and room emitted a dim and lonely light, like inconspicuous insects, embellishing this night with the smell of blood even in the wind.
However, at this time, the seemingly quiet Yong'an Hou Mansion is actually not quiet at all. In the old marquis's main room, Deng Shiqi, who was seriously injured by the assassination of the little emperor, was supported by someone, sat crookedly in the chair, listened to the reply of the people below with a pale face and a solemn expression, and after listening, he waved his hand to retreat.
"The eldest princess, the Xiaoyao Marquis Mansion, and several families related to the regent or the third prince, except for the Taichang Princess's Mansion, the rest of the families were slaughtered by the little emperor. Father, next, it's our turn. Deng Shiqi gasped and said: "We are the most deeply involved with the three princes, the closest relationship, according to the little emperor's temperament now, I am afraid that even a single animal in our house will not survive." Now that time is running out, you quickly arrange people to secretly send the small ones away, and the rest of the people are afraid that they will not be able to escape this catastrophe. ”
In such a catastrophe, they have no way to resist or resist, so what should they do to fight with the Silver Guard? For the sake of today's plan, in order not to end up with a complete end, only by sending out a few young children's ideas can we continue to continue the bloodline of the Du family. And they, the old and the wounded, reluctantly fled with them, and there was no other use except for the children.
The old marquis seemed to have aged a lot overnight, originally just gray hair, but now it is all white, he sighed, his eyes slowly fell on Du Shiqi, "There are a lot of children in a few rooms, and it is too risky to send them all away, so send the children from each room away." As for the girls, forget it. It's because I can't stop the children, and I call them all, my grandfather, and I have something to tell them. ”
Du Shiqi is also full of pain, to make such a choice so calmly and cruelly, who can feel better? He couldn't help choking and opened his palms to cover his face, "It's all me, it's me who caused a big disaster to my family." ”
If it weren't for his bent desire to glorify the lintel, if it weren't for his lust for power, if it weren't for his envy and jealousy of the regent who could turn his hands into clouds and turn his hands into rain, their originally low-key but fairly solid family would not have ended up in such a tragedy as it is now.
"Isn't it too late to blame yourself now?" Huang Hongfei, who happened to hear Du Shiqi discussing with the old marquis, came out of the shadows, only glanced coldly at Du Shiqi, who blamed himself and was in pain, and then looked at the old marquis who saw him with a stunned look, "The little emperor has already come here with people, and it is estimated that it will take half a cup of tea to break in, and if you don't want to die, follow me." ”
The old marquis Huo got up, blushed and looked at Huang Hongfei excitedly and earnestly, "Can you take all of our family away?" ”
"Xiaofei is a human, not a god." Mingyue emerged from behind Huang Hongfei and said unhappily: "You have so many people in your family, how can Xiaofei take them all?" ”
He turned his head to look at Huang Hongfei again, "It will be discovered." ”
Huang Hongfei made a calm gesture towards her, "How many can you take away, you can arrange it yourself who goes first, and I will pick up my grandmother." ”
After he finished speaking, he didn't wait for the old marquis and Du Shiqi to say anything, and pulled Mingyue towards Du Taijun's courtyard.
"Wait!" Du Shiqi suddenly shouted, "Why is this woman here?" Here she is, where's the Regent? Did he come back too? Where is the regent? How many people did you bring back? Why not just attack the city? Do you know what the situation is in Shangjing now? ”
"Now is not the time to say that." Huang Hongfei glanced at him impatiently, they came back first, and they successfully mixed in, and intercepted the prince of Yunguo who wanted to escape in time. But they are weak, and the control of the capital is still in the hands of the little emperor, and before the army outside arrives, what can He Zhizhou do to stop the little emperor's madness? Seeing that Du Shiqi was dissatisfied and wanted to ask again, Huang Hongfei turned his face and said coldly: "I don't know about other situations in the capital, I only know now, if you waste time again, none of the people in the Yong'an Hou Mansion want to get away!" ”
The old marquis gave full play to his majesty and prudence as the head of the family at this time, "Don't say anything, first inform the people in each room to pack up and prepare." Third prince, you go to your grandmother first, and you will meet in the courtyard of her old man's house in a while, and you can walk as much as you can. ”
Huang Hongfei nodded at him, pulled Mingyue and turned around and walked out.
Du Shiqi's gloomy and excited eyes were firmly fixed on Mingyue. The regent must be back, but I don't know why he has been slow to show up, and it would be great if he could use this woman to lure the regent out - let the little emperor face the regent, and it would be better to lose both.
There was a momentary uproar in the quiet Yong'an Hou Mansion, like a drop of water falling into a boiling pot of boiling water, but it was only for a moment, and it was quiet again. Everyone was panicked, but they didn't dare to make a loud noise, and everyone felt the tension and panic of the coming disaster. Not everyone can leave, and some people must be abandoned, so those who are notified that they can leave are all serious masters of the Hou Mansion.
Mrs. Du took Huang Hongfei's hand, full of relief and emotion, "You can think of me, an old woman, I'm already satisfied." Take your uncles and nephews with you, I'm already half-cut into the ground, and I don't want to die outside, so you don't have to persuade me anymore. Good boy, I know that you are the most filial, and I am very satisfied to be a grandchild with you before I die. ”
Where is Huang Hongfei willing, he originally took the risk to come over just to bring Old Taijun Du, "Grandmother, don't worry, I can take you away." You come up first, and I'll send you out first. ”
He squatted down beside Old Taijun's bed and asked Old Taijun to climb on his back.
Mrs. Du didn't say anything, but she happened to see Du Yiwan, who was tear-stained but biting her lip and refusing to cry, rushed in, and hurriedly beckoned to her, "Sister Wan, come on-"
When Du Yiwan's mother knew that they couldn't all leave, she slapped Du Yiwan hard, pushed her out of the door and closed the door tightly, leaving the hope of life to her, unlike her father, only thinking of his sons.
Du Yiwan was sad and angry, painful and sad, when she saw Mrs. Du, she couldn't help crying anymore, she stumbled over, and shouted "grandmother", and she had already cried into a tearful person.
"Good boy, don't cry, time is running out, you hurry up and follow your cousin out of here." Mrs. Du took her hand and stuffed it into Huang Hongfei's hand, "Good boy, I'll hand over Sister Wan'er to you, and you take her away." Hurry up, don't delay! ”
Du Yiwan's eyes were blurred with tears, she grabbed the warm hand of the old lady and refused to let go, and kept shaking her head and crying: "Grandmother, I don't, I don't leave!" ”
Mingyue was furious watching from the sidelines, grabbed an inkstone on a few tables and smashed it on Du Yiwan's head, and with one blow, Du Yiwan was stunned and slumped, "Slimy and a waste of time, Xiaofei, get her out first!" ”
Huang Hongfei was only stunned, then nodded, picked up Du Yiwan, who fell to the ground softly with one hand, and ran towards the dark alley when he came with Mingyue with the other. "You look at her, wait for me here, I'll pick up the others."
Huang Hongfei put Du Yiwan in the corner of the wall and whispered to Mingyue, "Don't make a sound, don't walk around, wait for me to come back." ”
Mingyue knew that she couldn't make trouble for Huang Hongfei at this time, so she nodded vigorously and said seriously: "You go, I will take a good look at her." ”
Huang Hongfei turned around and jumped into the Yong'an Hou Mansion again.
One after another, people were sent out, all of them were boys of Du Yiwan's age. Several people turned pale with horror, huddled together next to each other, and whispered from time to time, "What's wrong?" "There were younger ones who were so frightened that they couldn't stop crying.
Mingyue raised her eyes and glared at the crying little boy, and shouted in a low voice: "Don't cry!" Don't you hear how many people are patrolling outside? If you don't want to die, keep your mouth shut! ”
Her eyes were fierce and fierce, but she really frightened the little boy who was like a frightened bird.
Du Yiwan, who was knocked unconscious by Mingyue, woke up with a groan, and when she opened her eyes and saw Mingyue, she couldn't help but be stunned. Although she has not had close contact with Mingyue, she has also seen Mingyue twice from afar, and she was in the old lady's house, only caring about being sad and sad, and did not notice her, at this time when she saw Mingyue, her eyes couldn't help but light up, and she grabbed Mingyue's hand, "Princess Mingyue, is it really you?" ”
"Do you recognize me?" Mingyue blinked her eyes and frowned at Du Yiwan.
Du Yiwan didn't answer Mingyue's question, she only took Mingyue's hand anxiously, and asked very nervously, "Why are you here?" Now that you have returned to the capital, has the Lord Regent also returned? Where is he? Tell him to help us! The people in the capital can't survive anymore, why didn't the regent come out quickly to quell all this chaos when he came back? Where the hell is he, go find him, find him to save us! ”
She grabbed Mingyue's hand hopefully and couldn't help shaking, as soon as these words came out, several boys around her looked at it at the same time, all of them looked at Mingyue in disbelief and hope, and they just hated to forcibly press Mingyue's head, forcing her to quickly nod and agree to find the regent to save her life!
Mingyue forcefully pulled out her red hand that was grabbed by Du Yiwan, rubbed the back of her aching hand, and muttered unhappily: "Why do you have so many questions, can't you ask them one by one, I don't remember what you asked." Also, Xiao Fei said, don't speak loudly, if you attract officers and soldiers, you will all die. ”
"You!" Du Yiwan quickly noticed that something was wrong with Mingyue, but she didn't think about it so much for a while, and wanted to grab Mingyue's hand again, "Princess Mingyue, you just need to tell me where the regent is, I'll go find him myself, okay?" ”
Mingyue frowned, and her small mouth pursed even higher, "Why are you going to find him?" You're not allowed to go to him! Xiao Fei said, wait here, you have to listen to Xiao Fei, otherwise I will tell him to beat you! ”
"Sister," a boy who was in the period of changing his voice immediately took Du Yiwan's hand, "something is wrong with her, let's find a way to get the news of the regent out of her mouth, now only the regent can save us and save the people of the capital!" ”
However, before they could find a way to ask for the news of He Zhizhou from Mingyue's mouth, the little emperor had already led his silver-armored guards to break through the gate and swagger in.
