Chapter 336: Drinking Doves

"Order, divide 5,000 troops, kill the 200 Praetorian Guards who are guarding the mountain road, and the rest of the soldiers will make every effort to annihilate the remnants of the army in the square."

The general of the Xiaowu Army coldly ordered. He saw the key, the emperor and his ministers must have fled down the mountain along the mountain road, as long as they killed the Praetorian Guards guarding the mountain road, and the soldiers chased them all the way, maybe he still had hope to kill the emperor. "Dong Dong Dong" war drums sounded, and under the waving of the command flag, the soldiers of the Xiaowu Army launched the most fierce attack on the remnants of the Praetorian Guard as if they were crazy, staring at blood-red eyes.

"Come on! Dog day! Even if you kill all of Lao Tzu, you will lose! Your calculations have failed! Hahahaha, Your Majesty has left the incense burning platform, haha! The Janissary commander staggered and laughed violently.

"Brothers, the time has come to kill yourself and be loyal to the emperor!"

"Be loyal! Faithful! ”

The roar of the Praetorian Guard soldiers echoed through the valley, and the sound shook violently.

The general of the Xiaowu Army looked frightened, brandished his long knife and roared: "Kill them!" Kill them all! ”

"Boom...... Click......"

……

Today's heavy rain has moistened every inch of the imperial capital, and the faint, mixed with a little chilly night breeze, like a naughty child, quietly lifted the jasper bead curtain hanging on the door of the East Palace.

Dozens of red palace lamps are hung high on the walls around the East Palace, after the wide dragon case, Shaowu Hengan is reviewing the chapter, the pen dipped in cinnabar turns twice in his hand from time to time, and then the pen goes down to fill in a few words, closes the chapter, and takes a book to unfold, and repeats it.

The chamberlain Xiao Huangmen stood quietly a few steps away from Shaowu Heng'an, and when he heard the sound of the palace guard, Xiao Huangmen hesitated for a moment, and finally opened his mouth and called softly: "His Royal Highness the Prince...... It's the third watch, are you resting first? ”

He didn't raise his head, he still picked up his pen to read, and said lightly: "Don't worry, there are more than a dozen urgent recitals sent from all over the country, and I will rest alone after the approval......" Shaowu Hengan suddenly raised his head as he spoke. Looking at the little yellow door, he said, "Is there a piece of music sent from the northwest?" ”

Xiao Huangmen thought for a while and said: "There is no today, even if there is, it is already forbidden in the palace at this time, and if the chapter cannot be sent in, it is generally sent directly to the Ministry of War for the record." ”

Shaowu Heng'an looked a little stunned, was silent for a while, and muttered in his mouth: "I don't know if the grain and grass allocated by the six counties of Ganning are now distributed to the victims......

The Northwest Earth Dragon turned over, which is really the misfortune of the country, and it is also for this reason that Shao Wuqing went out of the palace to sacrifice to the sky and issued an edict.

He sighed, Shaowu Hengan closed the concert in his hand, rubbed his temples tiredly, and said in a low voice: "Spread the will of Gu, if there is a northwest chapter in the future, don't go through the military department, send it to the palace to show Gu first......"

After thinking about it, Shaowu Hengan added: "...... No matter how late it is, it must be sent in, and the palace guards on night duty must not stop it. ”

Xiao Huangmen was stunned, and hurriedly bowed down, this little Huangmen saw that Shaowu Hengan did not mean to stop at all, and pressed the words of advice in his throat, shook his head, and walked out of the East Palace with pressed steps.

The thunder accompanied by the heavy rain, the sky and the earth were shattered, in this imperial palace, it was also a wind and rain, Shaowu Hengan listened to the wind outside the window, his face was extremely pale, he didn't know what happened in the incense burner, after all, a day's work, even if it was a fast horse, it was also to spread the news.

It's just that his heart is becoming more and more annoyed, hearing this thunder, he suddenly remembered again, why the meteorite fell from the sky that day is so familiar, although the handwriting on it is not very familiar, but he clearly feels that the superficial ornament is very similar to the "totem" he saw back then.

Just as he was pondering, there was a light footstep outside the palace gate, and a soft voice asked the little yellow door standing outside the door: "Is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince still reviewing the recital inside?" ”

"Yes."

As soon as the words fell, a slender and graceful figure walked into the door of the East Palace, she was dressed in a purple palace dress, and the fitting cut highlighted her proud curves, such as clouds between the towering sideburns, obliquely inserted two golden steps, trembling and swaying as she walked, faintly making a pleasant jingle sound.

When Shaowu Hengan saw her, he smiled slightly, and his tired eyes finally showed a little warmth. He stretched out his hand, grabbed You'er, and said softly, "You'er, why haven't you fallen asleep yet?" ”

The little yellow door saw You'er come in. He hurriedly saluted her, bowed to the door, and carefully closed the door of the study. You'er was still as cold as Shaowu Hengan when he first saw her, but there was a little more affection in his eyes when he looked at Shaowu Hengan.

"Childe, it's late at night, and you're still working on state affairs?" You'er's voice was as sweet as her appearance.

Shaowu Hengan took her hand, and gently took it, You'er sat in his arms, full of warm nephrite, Shaowu Hengan took a deep breath, and smelled the faint fragrance on her body greedily.

Men and women, once caught in the whirlpool of emotions. No one is too rational, so many emperors have lost their country throughout the ages, many of them have lost their country because of their beloved women, do those emperors regret it, Shaowu Hengan is used to You'er's company, and she is used to being by her side no matter when.

No one knows, the feeling of happiness with your beloved is real, even so real that it can be touched, You'er has been with Shaowu Hengan for many years, and has followed Shaowu Hengan since he was a child, and for more than ten years, You'er is rarely not by his side.

"State affairs are embarrassing!" When it comes to state affairs, Shaowu Hengan's hearty face can't help but pass a little haze. You'er closed her eyes and quietly leaned into his arms, listening to Shaowu Hengan's heartbeat, and the corners of her mouth hooked up a somewhat complicated smile. "At the beginning of this spring, I ...... A few days ago, the six counties of Ganning turned over, countless casualties, tens of thousands of victims fled to the south, the barbarians of the northwest grassland were ready to move, in the southwest province, Dali was in turmoil, and the barbarians in the mountains were also in rebellion...... Lonely, this prince, is really tired......"

Shaowu Hengan sighed deeply, he is the same as Liu Lian, he is the age of a weak crown, since Shaowu Qing let him supervise the country, the country's agriculture, taxes, rivers, and military affairs...... All of them were pressed on him alone, his body was very poor, worse than Shao Wuqing, and for this reason, Shao Wuqing didn't like him very much, Shao Wuqing was very worried that this son would leave first, Shaowu Hengan sighed slightly, he felt that he had never been so tired in his life.

"Emperors also have the sufferings of emperors, Your Highness, you have lost a lot of weight these days, you have to take care of your body......"

You'er's slender hand gently stroked Shaowu Heng'an's face, his face was full of distress, Shaowu Heng'an's body was not good, not suitable for long-term work, feeling You'er's warmth, Shaowu Heng'an closed his eyes comfortably, like a child lying in his mother's arms.

"Everybody wants to be a prince. I really can't figure it out, apart from the fact that the prince lives in a house that is a little bigger than others, what else is good? Shaowu Hengan sighed.

You'er stared at the flickering red candle on the dragon case with a worried expression, her expression also became swaying like candlelight, and she sighed softly, You'er's voice was as distant and ethereal as floating from a long distance, and she murmured dreamily: "Yes...... If you're not the prince, how nice it would be......"

Shaowu Hengan was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "I didn't want to be this prince at the beginning, and I don't want to be this prince now, but ...... Alas, the people of the imperial family are so extreme, either extremely glorious, or the end is bleak, and there is no choice for loneliness......"

You'er also smiled, and the smile on her cold face suddenly added a bit of intoxicating spring to the room.

Shaowu Hengan looked at You'er's smile, and couldn't help but be stunned, Rao is lingering in the sun, but he still can't get tired of watching it, he can't get tired of it, You'er will always have the charm that obsesses him.

You'er saw Shaowu Hengan's eyes and smiled lightly, she likes to see Shaowu Hengan's smile, but Shaowu Hengan is always frowning, and rarely laughs.

"You'er, fortunately, you are by Lone's side, and I have relieved a lot of worries for Lonely. After my father returns to the court, I will be the crown princess, and you and I will accompany you all day long in this deep palace, playing the piano for you, and dancing for you......"

You'er's expression suddenly darkened, and she fell into Shaowu Heng'an's arms, reluctant to speak for a long time. The gentleman is affectionate and profound. If you don't fail me, how can I bear to bear you?

"Prince...... Why are you the crown prince......" You'er's eyes suddenly reddened slightly. Shaowu Hengan looked at her with some puzzlement, "You'er, what's wrong with you today?" But feeling unwell? ”

You'er was taken aback. Smiling and shaking his head quickly.

"Your Highness, do you like to watch You'er dance for you? You'er danced a song for you in this East Palace to relieve your fatigue from working on state affairs, how about it? ”

You'er's smile turned desolate. The water sleeves were long, the eyes were flowing, and You'er began to dance in Shaowu Heng'an's obsessive gaze. The dexterous figure twisted and swayed like a small snake on the scarlet carpet of the East Palace, You'er sent a poignant smile, and danced and sang: "The drizzle on the stone bridge, in the painting boat, who is Yiren, grinding the foundation, holding the pen, outlining the eyebrows; The sound of the piano turned, leaving the soul night, the flowers fell all over the ground, reminiscing about the thin clothes and frost. seems to be drunk, look, Langya golden feather; The rhythm of the music, the nightingale, the first cry, the danqing pen, the freehand fingers, the soft intestines, Shaohua goes; Was it obsessed in a previous life, or you can't forget it in this life; The night rain of the Qinhuai River entangles the water droplets, who plays the flute; It is the love that you owe you in the past life that turns into the memory of this life; The lights of Jinling City are bleak and autumnal, and the green silk changes frost and rain......"

In Jiao Ying's early singing, Shaowu Hengan high-fived and harmonized, his eyes stared at You'er's graceful dancing for a moment, his eyes were full of appreciation, at this time he was exhausted, his face was full of smiles and satisfaction, he hadn't seen You'er dance for a long time, since he entered the East Palace, he rarely had so much leisure time.

You'er's dancing figure is getting faster and faster, the fair-skinned and deceitful face has been slightly drenched in a layer of fine fragrant sweat, when the dance is the most dazzling, You'er's figure suddenly stopped, she gently, slowly walked to the dragon case, raised the wine jug just served by the small yellow door, and poured a glass of wine. Slowly handed it to Shaowu Hengan, and showed him the most beautiful smile in her life, she held the wine cup, the smile on her face became deeper and deeper, but she didn't even see herself, and there was a faint sadness in her eyes. "Your Highness, please drink this cup to the full......

"Crack!"

A thunder blast echoed in the sky above the East Palace, and a hurried voice sounded outside the East Palace, and a small yellow door knelt down in front of the cold gate, shouting in panic: "Your Highness, Your Highness, urgent military report!" ”

Shaowu Heng'an, who took the wine cup, heard this thunder, and instantly shook his hand, the wine cup had fallen to the ground, smashed to pieces, under the dim candlelight, Shaowu Hengan sighed, and inadvertently lowered his head, but saw that after the yellow wine drops fell to the ground, there were bubbles on the floor paved with white jade, and a faint wisp of smoke faintly rose, and then, the place where the floor was soaked in wine gradually became dark, as if it was corroded.

Hearing the sound of the wine cup breaking, His Royal Highness's little yellow door also became cold, kneeling quietly, not daring to say a word, just slowly waiting for Shaowu Heng'an's anger.

Poisoned wine, how can it be poisoned wine?

Shaowu Heng'an, who was addicted to the gentle township, finally sobered up, looking at the indifferent jade man on the side, he felt a pain in his heart, he never felt that the person in front of him was so estranged, this, is it still You'er who has been with him for so many years?

"Come in and talk, what's the alarm?"

Shaowu Hengan was silent for a long time, and finally chose to ignore it, and looked at the palace gate, his heart was as cold as this cold night.

Hearing Shaowu Heng'an's words, Xiao Huangmen let out a long breath, it doesn't matter if he dies, if he misses this military situation, even if he dies ten thousand times, it will be useless.

"Back to Your Highness, burn the incense table, something happened to the incense burning platform......"

"What?"

Hearing this news, Shaowu Heng'an's face changed suddenly, and he burned the incense table, which was a place to worship the sky, if he expected it to be good, the emperor had already issued an edict today.

"Honestly, what the hell is going on?"

"Your Highness, Yue Hu, the general of the Xiaowu Army, led an army of 50,000 to rebel, and the soldiers surrounded the incense burning platform, and the incense burning platform was already in danger at this time!"

The little yellow door lowered his head and handed over the bloody letter in his hand, which was brought out by a soldier of the Praetorian Guard from the incense burner, and at this time he was so badly injured that he had died outside the palace gate.

Hearing this news, Shaowu Hengan's eyes were dark, he spit out a mouthful of blood, and then fainted, You'er on the side saw Shaowu Hengan faint, and his cold heart instantly froze, she hurriedly helped Shaowu Hengan up, and helped him on the bed, between heartaches, two lines of tears could no longer be stopped, just an instant, and it was dazzling!

She didn't have a choice, she couldn't choose from the beginning, she had already known Shaowu Hengyong before she knew Shaowu Heng'an, she was the "Shura" of the Heavenly Killing Guard, he couldn't disobey Shaowu Hengyong's orders, as a killer who was contained by Shaowu Hengyong since childhood, her existence was only for the death of others!

If Shaowu Hengan is a sword, then Shaowu Hengyong is a knife, an invisible knife, his forbearance, like a poisonous wolf, since he sat on the throne of the prince, he has been building up forces for himself.

When Shaowu Hengyong attacked the incense burning platform, a secret order had been passed to You'er's hands, more than ten years, more than ten years of forbearance, she finally received a second order, but this order was to kill the man who had accompanied her for more than ten years.

"Your Highness, Your Highness......"

You'er is just a woman after all, she regrets it, seeing Shaowu Heng'an fainting, her heart is like a knife, and she is extremely painful.

The imperial doctor soon arrived at the East Palace, Shaowu Hengan was lying stiffly on the couch, like a dead man, his face was extremely pale, he was still in a coma and never woke up.

It has reached the most dangerous time on the incense burning platform, but Shaowu Hengan in the imperial capital is unconscious in this joint eye, I have to say that Shaowu Hengyong is very accurate, he counted everything into it, and did not hesitate to kill his father and brother, for just a throne and a cold throne.

"Kill!"

The war was scorching, the night was bright, Liu Fa retreated from the incense burning platform with Han Ju early, and left this place of right and wrong, he was afraid that Shaowuqing would regret it, and he was also very puzzled, why would Shaowuqing let him go?

"General, where are we going next?"

Looking at the gloomy sky, Han Ju suddenly asked, he felt that he needed to ask Liu Fa, this place in the imperial capital is not suitable for Liu Fa, nor is it suitable for himself, only the heaven and earth of the Southern Prison is their battlefield!

"Let's go back!"

Liu Fa looked at the direction of the imperial capital, but turned the horse's head, and walked towards the southwest without hesitation, everything is fate, he knows too much, only troubles, he doesn't want to track it down, he will reign in the world, everything will become a floating cloud, now Shao Wuqing's position is in danger, and the northwest is in chaos, he must go back to pacify the southwest.

The deer is fat, why not chase?

Liu Fa laughed, his heart had already flown to the South Prison, where there was still a home of his own, and the people he remembered, of course, the Yan Ning of the imperial capital, he did not forget, he secretly gritted his teeth, half a year of time, he must pacify the Southwest Mansion, and then take advantage of the situation to go north.

"Drain ......"

The thunderstorm did not stop, the war did not stop, the fighting on the incense burning platform had stopped, and thousands of Praetorian Guards had no survivors, all of them fell in a pool of blood.

Perhaps, Long Teng is the only place he controls on this incense burning platform, thousands of Praetorian Guards are standing in the rain, guarding Shao Wuqing's surroundings, what they have to do is to use their lives to protect Shao Wuqing's life.

"Your Majesty, rest for a while!"

Sleepless all night, Shao Wuqing's face was very bad, in fact, this night, who rested, the soldiers above the battle array, as long as they were a little confused, his head would be cut off in the next moment, they couldn't rest, and they didn't dare to rest.

"What are you resting on, how is the battle going?"

Shao Wuqing shook his head, trying to cheer himself up, looking at the drizzling rain, boundless sleepiness swept towards him, but the mountains and forests were still shrouded in clouds and mist, and he couldn't see anything clearly.
