Chapter 100
The imperial concubine of the Southern Dynasty was expelled, and the world was in an uproar.
Purple Xiang Pass, Shuai Ying Big Tent.
The Emperor of the Northern Dynasty, who was discussing the next war strategy with the generals in the battalion, suddenly received this news, his deep face changed suddenly, his eyes were sharp, and he stared directly at the person kneeling on the ground, "The news is true?" ”
The guard replied: "Back to Your Majesty, it's true! ”
A general with a long beard smiled with infinite disdain after hearing this: "Zongzheng Wuwu didn't even want the country for a woman, but he didn't expect that he had only left the river for less than two months, and that woman couldn't bear the loneliness and gave him such a big green hat." Haha, he must be mad! ”
Zongzheng frowned, and his deep and unfathomable gaze swept over, his eyes gloomy and angry, and he was obviously displeased. An adjutant general next to him hurriedly touched the gloating general with his hand, and the general was stunned for a moment, and suddenly reacted, remembering that the imperial concubine of the Southern Dynasty was His Majesty's former wife, and I heard that the reason why His Majesty set up a false harem was that he couldn't forget Princess Rongle. He was startled, the smile on the corner of his mouth froze, and he hurriedly stopped. "Keep your head down.
Seeing that the atmosphere was stiff, another general changed the topic and said: "Your Majesty, in the last battle, we won the Southern Emperor Hui Dynasty and the Southern Army was unstable, and now, they retreated to Yunguan, do we want to take this opportunity to send troops to recapture the lost city in one fell swoop?" ”
A staff general added: "Yes, Your Majesty, the Southern Emperor must have no intention of fighting after this blow, and we should take advantage of the high morale of our army to annihilate them in one go."
The strategist shook his head and said: "It's not proper, although the Southern Emperor is in Jiangdu, the Nine Emperors and the temporary commander of the Southern Army are not to be underestimated!" Moreover, the people of Wuyinlou are too powerful, although they only have 7,000 people, they are equivalent to 70,000 elite soldiers. Every time we fight, we will lose a lot of soldiers, and if we continue to fight like this, both sides will lose, and even if we win in the end, it will be a big wound in our vitality. Your Majesty, the minister thinks that it is not the best policy to attack. ”
A staff general asked, "What is the best policy according to the military division?" The strategist said: "Yunguan to the south of more than 20 miles of a valley, the road is narrow and long, is the southern army to transport grain and Xin must pass through, there are huge rocks and high mountains on the left and right, the snow is difficult to dissolve, a heavy snow a few days ago, not more than a month can not be melted. And during this time, there must be no traffic in abundance. It is better for us to wait for them to run out of food and grass, and to put them in the city, so that they can win without a single soldier and without a fight. The advisor said and looked at the emperor on the throne, wanting to ask for the emperor's opinion, but saw that the emperor was frowning and did not know where to look. And there was anger and confusion in the look between the eyebrows. He couldn't help but exclaim, "Your Majesty!!
Zong Zheng didn't think back, and at the moment his mind was full of the woman's injured appearance. He glanced at them and said lightly: "You all step down, and this matter will be discussed later." ”
The generals looked at each other and were ordered to withdraw, while the guard, who had come to tell the news, was left behind.
In February, Zixiang Pass had just had a heavy snowfall, and the climate was still very cold, so Zongzheng stood up and paced in the house without a big coat. The initial shock made him uneasy, but only then did he slowly calm down and think about it.
Others who don't know Rong Le may believe such absurd rumors, but he doesn't have to think about it, if Rong Le is that kind of casual woman, then she would have been his woman a long time ago! Who framed her so much and ruined her reputation? What is the purpose? Even if he doesn't believe in it, how can Zongzheng believe it? All kinds of doubts, he turned around in his heart and ordered: "Tell me the ins and outs of the whole thing in detail." ”
"Yes, Your Majesty. That day...... Since the deputy commander of the Praetorian Guard, the current imperial concubine, had a man on the bed, he has been talking about the fact that the imperial concubine was injured and left the palace alone, which is not ominous.
Zong Zheng listened quietly, his face was dark, and his brows became tighter and tighter. It seems that the person who laid down this situation is not targeting Rong Le, but Zongzheng is worry-free. With such clumsy means, that person must have a very good understanding of Zongzheng Wuwu and Rong Le, their purpose is not to frame Rong Le, nor to drive a wedge between the emperor and concubine of the Southern Dynasty, they are very sure that Zongzheng Wuwu will not believe Rong Le's betrayal, thinking that he will inevitably come forward to protect her, in that way, the Southern Emperor will lose the heart of the army, the heart of the subjects and the hearts of the people, at that time, they will instigate a mutiny and set off a rebellion to achieve ulterior motives. But they never imagined that Zongzheng Wuwu would break their game in such a direct way, making their back-up moves useless. This time's plan is more despicable than the rumors and instigators who spread the white demon last time, and the means are so similar! And the person who used this scheme, he no longer had to guess.
Zongzheng has no choice, and the more ugly his face becomes. Zongzheng Wuwu broke the game in this way, maybe it was a way to protect her, but in this way, it hurt her! not only ruined her reputation and hurt her body, but also hurt her heart, after Yun Guifei's broken bones and ashes, in Zongzheng's worry-free heart, isn't she the most important? He was making all sorts of speculations in his mind.
Zongzheng is worry-free, in order to take revenge, you treat the woman who you once gave up the country, dignity and even life for which you could give up? The power of hatred is really endlessly powerful. And Rong Le, such a patriarchal government is worry-free, will you still love him?
"She's badly hurt?" Silently groaning for a while, he gently agreed with such a sentence, just five words, secretly related to his emotions. That sword, he believed that she didn't commit suicide, so that she could remember the pain and despair for herself, right? She is not a person who takes life lightly.
"Back to Your Majesty, the stab was in the abdomen, and a lot of blood was shed. Probably... The injury is not light! ”
Zong Zheng's eyes were gloomy, and there was deep distress and worry in his eyes, he was pacing back and forth in the spacious tent, and the dull footsteps revealed the emotions in his heart at the moment. A pair of hands, clenched and released, released and clenched.
Rong Le, leaving the Southern Dynasty, where will she go? She hated him so much, and hated Emperor Qiyun, and now, she was expelled from the Southern Dynasty by the person she loved with all her heart, where else could she go?
Zong Zheng Wuqiao took a deep breath, forcibly suppressed the suffocation and irritability in his heart, turned around and ordered: "Go and check her whereabouts, and after finding out, come and report it immediately, there must be no mistake." ”
The guards hurriedly obeyed the order and withdrew, and when they arrived at the door, Zongzheng seemed to think of something, and shouted again: "Slow." The Southern Dynasty sent more people to the land adjacent to the Dust Wind Country. ”
"Yes."
In February, the weather has warmed up. The Royal Horse Farm is vast and vast. Fresh green shoots sprouted from the endless thousand dry meadows. The clear sky was as clear as a wash, and herds of horses were running freely in the racecourse, with strong bodies and powerful hooves.
Walking in the vicissitudes of the racecourse, Wang Ning Qianyi was wearing a tiger skin fur, heroic, erect, and his heroic and handsome face was a little more solemn and calm than before. He was followed by several ministers, looking at the horse farm together, and they were all in a very good mood. The middle-aged man who had gone to the Kingdom of Heaven with the King of Cangzhong laughed, "Your Majesty, this batch of horses is better than the previous ones. This year's horse selection period is going to be lively! ”
A minister smiled and said, "Yes, except for the Southern Dynasty, the other fourteen countries have all come to write their letters. I am afraid that this time it is not the previous envoys, but the emperors of various countries. ”
At the mention of the Southern Dynasty, a military minister immediately changed his face, his face was indignant, and he said: "If the emperor of the Southern Dynasty dares to send someone, I will tell him to come and go." "The reason why this man was so angry was because the envoy sent to the Southern Dynasty two months ago was his cousin.
The etiquette of the monarchs and ministers of the Dustwind Country is not as strict as that of other countries, but is much more casual. When the other ministers saw that the military minister was so excited, they comforted him. They also said that they must not cooperate with the South Korea.
The thick eyebrows of the king moved slightly, listening to their discussion, but did not express his position. He just took a few steps forward, his hands behind his back, and his eyes looking ahead.
Southern Dynasty, a place related to that woman.
"Let's go back to the palace and have a feast." He exhaled a heavy breath towards the sky, suppressed the regret and loss in his heart, and showed others a hearty and heroic spirit, said loudly, turned around and led the ministers back to the palace.
The palace of the King of Dust Wind is majestic on the outside, and the interior is richly decorated. Xingle Palace, gold bricks and blue tiles, carved beams and painted buildings. The king of Cangzhong and several ministers sat down at the same table and ordered people to prepare singing and dancing, as well as delicious food and wine. In the country of dust, it is common for monarchs and ministers to feast together.
In the palace, on a large velvet carpet, more than a dozen beauties bent their bare waists and danced under the cheerful rhythm of the music of guqin, silk and bamboo.
The ministers were happy to see it, shook their heads and shook their heads, happily humming a familiar tune with the singers' songs, and the atmosphere was very cheerful and harmonious.
The king of Cangzhong sat on the dragon throne, and the two concubines on the left and right accompanied him. Whenever he heard the sound of the piano, he would always think of the half of the mountains and flowing water in the palace of Yunlian Mountain in the Heavenly Kingdom, and he couldn't help but feel sad. The woman's invitation in my mind has always lingered.
A year ago, when he had just returned to China, he heard that she was white, and he was so heartbroken that he even gathered an army to prepare to save her, but before he could leave, he heard that she was missing. He sent people to inquire around, only to learn that she had become the imperial concubine of the Southern Dynasty, and was very affectionate with the Southern Emperor, he had already seen that she and the Northern Emperor were inseparable, in fact, the heart of the king at that time, now, she can finally stay with the person she loves, he should bless her, happy for her, but the regret and loss in his heart can not be filled. Over the past year, he has been paying attention to all kinds of things about her.
Since ascending to the throne, state affairs have been smooth, and there are three thousand beauties in his harem, and no woman can take her place in his heart. That woman has become the only regret in his life for more than 20 years!
The world is undecided, wars are raging, although their dust wind country is not big, but it is famous for its war horses, and it has become the object of competition among all countries. He has no intention of competing for the world, as long as he finds the most powerful partner among these countries to ensure that his country is stable and smooth after the world is settled, it will be enough. If that woman can be by his side, then his life can almost be called complete. It's a pity, but it's nostalgic
"Your Majesty, do you have something on your mind?" Concubine Han on the left stepped forward and asked their young and handsome king with a smile.
The king of Cangzhong was slightly stunned, and then walked past her, and said with a hearty smile: "In this harem, there are several concubines who are delicate, especially these eyes are the most powerful!" ”
The tea concubine on the right was not happy, and said with a sour voice: "Is the king saying that the concubine is careless?" ”
The king of Cangzhong laughed, "Concubine Ai is jealous!" With that, he stretched out his hand and came upstairs. Concubine Cen immediately smiled, "If the king has anything on his mind, say it and let the concubines help you share it." ”
In Cangzhong, Wang raised his eyebrows, and his eyes unconsciously sank slightly. He withdrew his arm, picked up the wine bowl on the table, and without speaking, he raised his head and drank it all in one gulp, with a very crisp movement.
At this time, a guard came to report, "Your Majesty, there is news from the messenger of the Southern Dynasty. ”
The king's eyes lit up and said, "Say it quickly." "Everything that is going on in the Southern Dynasty will have something to do with her.
The guards hurriedly prepared the news from the messenger lurking in the Southern Dynasty.
"Nonsense!"
Before the guard's words fell, the king of Cangzhong had already risen up, and his face was so excited that he overturned the table in front of him. That woman is the holiest place in his heart, and some people even say that she is a ** harem, this is impossible!
His face was indignant and said, "Eldest Princess Rongle is definitely not that kind of woman!" It is really hateful that the Southern Emperor is so confused, listens to slander, hurts the princess so much, and drives her out of the Southern Dynasty! ”
The strong anger that spread around him frightened the second concubine, they raised their heads and looked at him in amazement, this is the first time they have seen such a big temper of the king, and the reason why he is angry is actually for the concubines of the emperors of other countries! You can see the weight of that woman in the king's heart. The woman's intuition made them feel uneasy, and they couldn't help but think sadly: If this woman is found and brought to the palace, will the king look at them more in the future?
The middle-aged man who had seen the death of the man was overjoyed, and said, "Don't be angry first, for this way, it will be a good thing for the king!" ”
King Cangzhong was stunned for a moment, then stretched his thick eyebrows, pointed at the guard, and said, "No matter how many people you mobilize, I will immediately go and check the whereabouts of Princess Rongle!" ”
"Yes!"
Yancheng, a place adjacent to the Dust Wind Country and the Southern Dynasties, belongs to the territory of the Dust Wind Country. Linxi Inn is in a very remote place in the west of Yancheng, built against a deep jungle, the inn is divided into two floors, and the layout is relatively simple. A room on the second floor in the direction of the dense forest, although it is called the upper room, but the room can only be described as simple.
At night, it was very quiet around the guest food, and only the sound of a wind passing through the dense forest could be heard.
Man Yao and his clothes were lying on the bed, looking at the dark and gloomy roof of the humble house with his eyes open. The bed board is very hard, and the chromium hurts people. She had been here alone for more than ten days, and the wound on her abdomen was not too deep, and she had already bandaged it herself on the road, and it should heal after a few days of rest. But for some reason, I've been feeling tired lately, but I can't sleep even though I'm sleepy. If it's okay for a day or two, but this situation has lasted for more than a month, she should let Xiao Ke help her take a look before leaving the palace. The last time Xiao Ke helped her take her pulse, it was when she returned to the palace from Yuzhou City.
"Knock knock knock...... "The sound insulation of the house is very bad, and there are stairs outside the door." Whenever someone goes up and down the stairs, the sound is very clear.
Restless for no reason, she frowned, sat up slowly, leaned on the head of the bed, and lazily hung her hands, this lazy and tired posture was very similar to the appearance of another person lying on the bed watching her sleep. Her heart suddenly swelled with sourness, remembering his anger, his hatred, his pain, his helplessness, his struggle, his disbelief, and his pretense of indifference and determination... On that day, every action, every look, and every word he said was in her mind, in front of her eyes, and even in her heart. She clutched the thin quilt that covered her body, closed her eyes, and suddenly felt that she couldn't breathe, and every time she thought of him, it became so difficult to breathe.
At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door.
"Knock, knock, knock!" The three tones that are neither light nor heavy, the slow tail note that is stretched out in the quiet night, does not fall for a long time.
She immediately opened her eyes and looked at the door vigilantly, who could it be so late? Counting the days, the people she was waiting for should be almost there! But it shouldn't be late at night! She looked puzzled, got up, put on her coat in a hurry, brushed her head with her hands, and tidied it up before walking towards the door.
During this time, the person outside the door neither knocked nor opened his mouth to call anyone, except for the first three knocks, there was no sound at all, and the person who had been standing quietly at the door waiting, as if very patient.
The more she doubted, she unconsciously clenched the sword in her hand. It's hard to say anything else about this guest, but these two doors are absolutely tightly closed, leaving no gaps at all.
She pricked up her ears to the door, listening for the movement outside, nothing but the sound of shallow, well-proportioned breathing. She frowned, straightened up, and felt the man very, very close to the door. And the breath emanating from that person has an indescribable sense of familiarity.
She hesitated slightly, but finally raised her hand.
The door was slowly opened, and when the man standing at the door came into view, her pupils shrank, her face changed sharply, and she blurted out: "Why are you?" ”
