A smile appeared at the corner of Gao Xi's mouth: "Your merits, Wang Xuan, Wang Kaifu and General Han Baohu Han have all mentioned to me in the Tang Newspaper that you have done a good job this time, and you are brave and strategic." But I remember that you should be under General Han, why did you say that you were General He's subordinate just now? ”

Wang Huaqiang's heart blossomed, secretly glad that Wang Xuan and Han Baohu really reported their merits to the court, with Gao Xi's words, those dead subordinates were not worried about the court's mercy, and his own road to promotion saw the dawn, he hurriedly said: "Yesterday, when General He and Chen Jun were fighting, the last general, as General Han's messenger, bypassed Jiankang to contact General He, and was later left in General He's account. ”

Gao Xi nodded and said: "In this case, you also heard what you said just now, Sergeant Xiaoguo is the emperor's Praetorian Guard, and this time he is only seconded to the Southern Expedition, I am only the Marshal of the Southern Expedition, and I have no right to mobilize them, but General He's subordinates can be transferred."

Wang joined the army, now I officially order you to put that Zhang Lihua out of the palace and behead him on the Qingxi Bridge outside the palace gate, and hang his head on the Vermilion Bird Hang. As he spoke, he took out a token and handed it to Wang Huaqiang.

Wang Huaqiang's heart sank suddenly, and he suddenly returned to reality from the extreme joy just now, this errand that wanted people's lives and offended Yang Guang still had to fall on his head, but he had no way to refuse now, gritted his teeth, and he made an important decision: to carry out this order, to Gao Xi, and to act on the opportunity in the future.

So Wang Huaqiang said in a deep voice: "Get the order!" He took the token, turned around and waved his hand, and led his subordinates into Miyagi in a hurry.

Gao Xi also seemed a little surprised by his straightforward execution, looking at his distant figure, he stroked his beard and groaned, and after a while, he said to Duan Da on the side: "General He and General Han are still in the Dejiao Palace, right?" Lead me quickly. ”

Wang Huaqiang ran to the outside of the apse, took out the token, and said to the sergeants guarding the hall: "I am Wang Huaqiang, a soldier in General He's tent, and I was ordered by Gao Changshi of the Marshal Mansion to conquer the south, and the special general Zhang Lihua proposed. ”

After the sergeant major guarding the hall checked the token, he turned his head and gave an order to the soldiers behind him, and the four soldiers hurried in, and soon, they came out with a stunning woman in their arms.

When Wang Huaqiang saw Zhang Lihua for the first time, his breathing was about to freeze. He didn't expect that there would be such a beautiful woman in the world.

Zhang Lihua's hair is like a dark cloud, hanging down to her waist, her awl face, her skin is like mutton fat and white jade, she is blown and broken, her face is like a peach blossom, her eyes are like a morning star, her eyebrows are towering, and she is dressed in gorgeous silk clothes inlaid with gold threads, which are tightly attached to her body, which highlights her graceful figure even more.

Although Wang Huaqiang knew that this Zhang Lihua's son, that is, Chen Shendu, the prince of Chen Guo, was already fifteen years old, he didn't expect that this woman in her thirties still looked like a twenty-eight beauty, and the woman in front of him didn't look like a concubine of a country at all, without a bit of motherly grace in the world, but like a fox spirit who seduced people's souls, making people feel endless love.

Wang Huaqiang suddenly woke up, he was carrying out military orders, and when he looked at his subordinates on the left and right, they were all staring at Zhang Lihua one by one, without blinking their eyelids, and they couldn't walk.

Wang Hua suddenly realized that this would not work, seeing Zhang Lihua's face, what man in the world would be willing to kill her? But if you don't kill her, Gao Xi will definitely kill herself.

Wang Huaqiang gritted his teeth and stepped forward to tear Zhang Lihua's gorgeous clothes.

Zhang Lihua's delicate exclamation caused Wang Huaqiang's heart and liver to tremble, and also caused the surrounding soldiers to step forward in unison, as if they wanted to stop Wang Huaqiang.

Wang Huaqiang tore off Zhang Lihua's coat with a one-foot-square opening, and the tender jade arms like lotus couples were suddenly exposed, Wang Huaqiang gritted his teeth, tore the sleeve from it, and pulled it into a one-foot-square hijab, covering Zhang Lihua's head, and suddenly, the pretty face that caught people's hearts disappeared.

The surrounding sergeants seemed to be enchanted just now, and this time they covered Zhang Lihua's head, and only then did they react one by one, Wang Huaqiang turned his head and shouted at everyone: "What are you waiting for, quickly tie up Zhang Guifei and take her out of the palace." ”

These sergeants woke up like a dream, several people hurriedly stepped forward, took out the ropes that had been prepared, and tied Zhang Lihua into a knot, poor Zhang Lihua has been pampered since she entered the palace, and she has been a concubine for so many years, and she is even more clothed and fed, and she is usually afraid of being put in the palm of her hand by Chen Shubao, who has ever suffered this kind of crime, and now she is crying and crying, a soft language of Wu Nong, and begging these sergeants to let her live.

Wang Hua was ruthless, and ripped off a piece of cloth from her other sleeve, stuffed it directly into her mouth, and then took a thin rope to tie this strip of cloth, poor Zhang Lihua couldn't speak anymore, and could only whimper.

After a while, Zhang Lihua had been tied up like a brown child, Wang Huaqiang held her bound hands and pulled her in front, and the soldiers behind were divided into two rows, sandwiching the two of them, just like that, all the way to the palace gate.

There is also a moat in the palace city, called Qingxi, which is also the same as the moat outside the city, which is filled by the water of the Qinhuai River, but it is not so wide, Wang Huaqiang led Zhang Lihua to the bridge, stopped, took off the cloth in Zhang Lihua's mouth through the hijab, and touched Zhang Lihua's pink face with his hand, just like stroking a piece of beautiful jade, indescribably comfortable.

But Wang Huaqiang thought of his mission, he was still ruthless, and said in a cold voice: "Zhang Guifei, I was ordered by the general of the long history of the southbound Taiwan to behead you here, do you have anything else to explain?" ”

Zhang Lihua's hands were tied, she knelt on the ground, unable to lift the cover on her head, she had already understood her fate along the way, but at this time she stopped crying and asked: "May I ask what is the crime of this palace, why did Gao Changshi kill this palace?" ”

Wang Huaqiang sighed: "The country is ruined, people are swords, you are fish and meat, Zhang Guifei, if you want to blame, blame you for being too beautiful, no man can bear it, when you were in the Chen Kingdom, you caused the Chen Kingdom to perish, Gao Changshi is afraid that after you enter the Sui, you will charm my Great Sui monarchs, so he will want your life." ”

Zhang Lihua suddenly laughed out loud, and her laughter contained endless resentment and unwillingness: "Can I be blamed for the death of a woman?" It's ridiculous. You men, you don't have the ability to defend your country, but you want a woman to take on this responsibility, and this palace is not convinced! ”

Wang Huaqiang shook his head and said coldly: "Zhang Guifei, whether you accept it or not, your fate has been decided anyway, if you still have anything to explain, say it as soon as possible." ”

Zhang Lihua shook her head and said: "Please also tell the Emperor of the Sui Dynasty that my son Chen Shen has a weak personality, gentle and modest, and the Chen State is destroyed, and I also ask the Emperor of the Sui Dynasty to remember that God has the virtue of a good life, spare his life, and a sin, all of which will be borne by me, the mother of the troubled country." ”

Wang Huaqiang nodded and said, "I will convey the original words." ”

Zhang Lihua sighed: "General, please remove my hair from my neck, when beheading, don't cut off my long hair, it's been more than 20 years, it's not easy." ”

Wang Huaqiang looked at the black cloud-like hair that hung down from the inside of her hijab and nodded: "Okay, I will do it." As he spoke, he lifted the back corner of his hijab and lifted Zhang Lihua's hair for the two sergeants to hold in both hands, while her white pink neck was exposed in the cold air.

Zhang Lihua muttered: "Your Majesty, please forgive the concubines for not being able to serve you anymore." ”

Wang Huaqiang pulled out the saber on his waist, ruthlessly, slashed it with a knife, blood splashed everywhere, Zhang Lihua's beautiful mantis head, suddenly moved from the shoulder, the delicate body trembled, lay down softly, the crimson blood sprayed out from the neck, staining the stone bridge made of white marble, the left and right sergeants all shook their heads and wept, sighing the tragic fate of this peerless red face.

Wang Huaqiang gritted his teeth and covered Zhang Lihua's face with the blood-stained hijab, this is a woman who loves beauty, and she must not want others to see what she looked like when she died.
