Chapter 220: Falling into the Hands of the Adversary
Liang lost two generals in a row, and the government and the opposition were shocked. In a short period of time, the news quickly spread throughout Kyoto, but no one dared to talk loudly, and most of the civilians walked with embarrassment, and regretted that Zhao Xian, who died in battle, rushed to regret.
An family is the patron saint of the Great Liang, the past generations have been dutiful, and the four sons have sacrificed their lives for the country.
On the spacious bluestone avenue outside the Guogong Mansion, the emperor's chariot and horse honor guard quietly stopped at the mansion, and the people who greeted him knelt on the ground, but their faces were bloodless and their expressions were stiff.
Over the years, the people of Anfu have been accustomed to this kind of scene, the former eldest young master, the second young master, and the two young masters who have not yet started a family, were born in front of their eyes one by one, and then went away first.
Every few years, there will be a talisman-like battle report coming, when the emperor will come to the door in person to comfort the old man An, who is very old.
Now, in less than three months, this man in his prime has followed in the footsteps of his uncles.
As a result, no one knew, only that Old Man An had a blank expression, kneeling alone in front of the tablets of the ancestors and ancestors, and was silent for a long time.
Many high-ranking officials came to the door one after another, and even Xie Mo's political enemies for many years sighed and appeased him. Xie Mo is Zhao Xian's father-in-law, he only has a daughter in Huayu, and he doesn't want Zhao Xian to die, but unfortunately the world is unpredictable......
Old Man An was not as depressed or angry as everyone imagined. Maybe I've been through it many times and I'm used to it.
The only thought was the child in Mrs. Ann's womb. It was the last incense of the An family, and if something went wrong, the sky would really fall.
Just when the next person hurriedly went to ask Miss Yijun to come back and go to Jiangnan to pick up Mrs. An, they were told that Miss Yijun had left, and they went to Wuchang with Mrs. Xiaomeng in grief. Along with them were Xie Mo's daughter Huayu, and Huang Tiantian, who had been in the door for less than half a month.
These women left very suddenly, and they didn't even say goodbye. The people understand this mood, they are all the current or future wives of Young Master Zhao Xian, Lang Jun died. Grief-stricken and unbelievable, hastened to go. It is also the most normal reaction. As a result, everyone's eyes were focused on the Guogong Mansion, secretly studying the ownership of power after the death of the two popular figures in military succession, but completely ignoring these ordinary women.
Who told them the news? Where was it taken?
Nobody knows. Until the news of several women disappeared completely. It will never be recovered. Someone realized that something was wrong, but unfortunately, it was too late...
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
Two months later. Changan.
Chang'an is the capital of the Northern Qi Dynasty, twenty miles from east to west, seventeen miles from north to south, from north to south, in turn, it is the palace city, the imperial city, and the Guo city.
The palace city and the imperial city are guarded by the forbidden army, and ordinary people are not allowed to enter. Guocheng is divided into 110 squares by a total of 22 streets, including eight vertical and fourteen squares, each of which has private houses, official residences, temples and Taoist temples. There are also two cities, east and west, bringing together the world's exotic customs and treasures, and there is everything in the dazzling landscape.
It was early summer, and within the towering high walls, there was a courtyard with beautiful mountains and clear waters. Gaoliu new cicada, lavender breeze and light rain, pond lotus pomegranate flowers, Qiongzhu clear spring, intertwined into a beautiful scene.
Behind the glazed curtains, a colorful parrot sat in a birdcage behind the window, turning its head to look at the naked man wrapped in layers of gauze in the room, and the crimson pecking was slightly open from time to time, learning to let out a few cries of human beings.
"Uh..."
A muffled snort came out, and the eyelids of the stout man lying on the bed jumped slightly.
Your mind is heavy, and your whole body seems to be stuck in the mud, and you want to lift it, but there are thousands of steel needles that nail you firmly, except for the pain on your body, the rest of the place seems to no longer belong to you.
Zhao Xian bit the tip of his tongue, sobered himself up a little, opened the cigarette, but it was hazy like seeing flowers in the fog, and he couldn't see anything clearly.
"Anyone?" Zhao Xian moved his lips, gritted his teeth and struggled to move, and the wound on his body made him grin and snort.
The vision gradually became clear, but it was an antique bedroom, the room was well furnished, in addition to the orthodox screen couch, there were two long guns hanging on the wall, crossed as decorations, several transparent glass bottles with bright flowers, and a few small goldfish inside.
I'm not going to reincarnate again, am I? Zhao Xian's face was slightly bitter, looking at this room that combined Chinese and Western, his mind was in a mess, and he couldn't remember what happened.
"Dead liar, why aren't you awake yet...... Dead liar, why haven't you woken up yet......"
Suddenly, a stiff scolding voice came, startling the dazed Zhao Xian.
There was no one in the house, and he turned his head to see a parrot hanging from the window, scratching its brightly colored feathers with its paws, and shouted, "Dead liar, why aren't you awake yet......
"I'm rubbing! Dead bird, who are you scolding liars? Zhao Xian was slightly angry in his heart, and wanted to get up and take off his hair, but because of his weak body, he had no choice but to stop.
"I'm rubbing! Dead Bird ...... I rub! Dead Bird ......"
"Ahem!" Zhao Xian's face turned red and coughed a few times: "Little starling, I didn't want your life, what kind of 'dead bird dead bird', he still speaks with an accent, by the way, starling, where is this?" ”
"Where is this...... Where is this ......?"
Sure enough, it's a brute, and he won't even answer questions. Zhao Xian shook his head and smiled bitterly, wanting to turn around and sit up, but he heard the door 'bang' open, and a girl in a palace skirt walked in.
Glancing at the bed as before, the girl's beautiful eyes froze, and she was stunned for a long time, and suddenly said with joy: "Dead liar, you have finally woken up!" ”
With a little red lips and a hibiscus face, the girl's appearance is stunning, and her beautiful eyes are like brilliant gems, which can never be forgotten in this life.
Zhao Xian looked at the girl, first stunned, then suddenly. The ease of waking up vanished in an instant, just like what happened yesterday, and the curtain appeared in front of me.
He led 5,000 soldiers and horses to Northern Qi to die, and reached the riverside to look for the impossible receiving ship.
He didn't bring Hu Yidao because he knew. This time in Northern Qi, except for him, everyone may not be able to come back.
As a general, he should focus on the outcome of the matter, rather than the process that is destined not to be revealed to the world.
But after all, he didn't want to watch the two hundred guards who swore to protect him succumb to death, and he was going to act, so he accompanied the two hundred guards to take the lead in rushing to the Northern Qi Great Array as An Li'er, the heir of the Duke of Daliang Town.
How many guards were left, he didn't know. I only know from that day on. An Li'er is completely dead, whether physical or flexible, he is just Zhao Xian, start now. Do what you want to do.
Miss Xingya smiled brightly. After a few steps to the bed, he said proudly: "Zhao Xian." It's good that you're awake. Now you are my captive, and you have lived with me for nothing for two months, and I have not asked you for payment. So. I confiscated all your jade pendants, necklaces, and so on, as your compensation for me. ”
Xingya's face was full of the pleasure of revenge, and she looked at Zhao Xian coldly condescendingly, and snorted softly in her little nose.
"How did I end up in your hands?" Zhao Xian remembered something, and raised his head in shock, but fell on the pillow in pain: "What did you say?" Two months? ”
"yes. Two months. Xingya looked at the mummy-like Zhao Xian, shook her head and sighed lightly: "You don't listen to me, you have to fight hard with my Northern Qi, but you were shot like a hedgehog, if it wasn't for the timely rescue, you wouldn't even be able to see the sun today." ”
"Where is this? I'm going back. Zhao Xian frowned, and secretly said in his heart that it was not good, he had been in an accident for so long, and his family didn't know what to worry about. Let Huayu know that you have to die.
Xingya chuckled a few times, and her beautiful eyes were triumphant: "This is Chang'an, nearly a thousand miles away from Daliang, and you are my captive, I won't let you go back, you have to stay in this courtyard obediently for the rest of your life, you are not allowed to move around and contact outsiders, but I will send people to eat and drink well to ensure that you live a happy life." ”
"Chang'an!" Zhao Xian's face suddenly darkened, his eyes closed and opened, Chang'an has arrived, you play me, right?
He frowned and looked at the proud girl of Northern Qi, and shook his head lightly: "You have worked so hard to tie me up, just to put me under house arrest and raise me for nothing?" There must be some intentions, right? Say, did you take a fancy to General Ben and want me to plug the door upside down? I'll have to think about it......"
"Think about it slowly!" Xingya brushed the hair on her ears and said coquettishly: "I just want you to taste the problem of being imprisoned, and when you are in a good mood that day, I will let you be free......"
"Relief? Put me alone? Zhao Xian's eyes lit up.
"The beauty of thought." Xingya shook her head lightly: "When you have enough, I will drag you out and cut you down, who let you bully me on the road." Is it fun to tease me? Really, when Su Xiangning would like you, a ruthless and rude person? But, for the sake of secretly giving me snacks on your way and letting me sleep under the quilt, I will be reluctant to ......."
"Die around me?" Zhao Xian frowned, this woman is too vicious.
"Think beautifully." Xingya laughed a few times again: "I am reluctant to ask you a few missionaries to cross over, and the Lord will forgive you for your sins." ”
"Hey! Are you mistaken? It is said that women are made of water, you can't be made of water regia, right? Zhao Xian looked at her incredulously, didn't you find it, but you are still so ruthless?
Xingya looked back and smiled: "I'm not called 'Hey', my name is Su Xiangning." And aqua regia is also water, clucking......"
With the sound of laughter like silver bells, Xingya, who was in a good mood, went out, leaving Zhao Xian with a stunned face.
This damn girl actually learned to speak with me. Zhao Xian sighed secretly in his heart, now that he is trapped in the Northern Qi Dynasty, he must return to Daliang as soon as possible, otherwise everything will be wasted.
He gritted his teeth and tried to get up, but the blood in his body gradually moved and regained some strength. He looked around, there was no sound around him, and he came out of the pond garden, and he couldn't see anything else.
"Someone! Squeak! Zhao Xian leaned on the bed, hungry and gnawed on the snacks placed at the head of the bed, and raised his head and roared a few times.
The parrot flapped its colorful wings, looked at the food in Zhao Xian's hand with red eyes, and shouted: "Think beautiful, think beautiful......"
Quietly without the slightest popularity, the only one who can speak is this parrot. He raised his head to look at the beautiful little parrot, and said happily: "Dead bird, follow the 'idle brother is so handsome'......"
"Think beautifully, think beautifully......"
Zhao Xian's face turned across, and he said angrily: "Broken bird, it's 'Brother Xian is so handsome'!" ”
"Think beautifully, think beautiful......" the parrot flapped its wings. Cheerfully responded.
Oh my God, even you broken bird came to bully me? I'm going to roast you before I do it. Zhao Xian gritted his teeth and raised his middle finger, and was about to ignore it, but the window suddenly darkened, and a black figure flew in.
The figure is graceful, the front and back are amazingly hot, dressed in night clothes, the tight thighs are tightly wrapped, and the full buttocks and crisp breasts seem to be able to tear the tight clothes and pants at any time.
The woman in black opened the bead curtain and fell gently into the room, and said coquettishly: "Zhao Qing." Thou art at ease. Fighting with a stupid bird. ”
Listening to the coquettish and arrogant voice, Zhao Xian knew that it was Queen Xiao, his eyes suddenly heated, and he said excitedly: "Sister Xiao." You. You're coming along? ”
Empress Xiao sighed faintly. Pulled off the veil to reveal a slightly haggard cheek, and complained: "Don't call it so affectionate, this palace is just an important person who doesn't want me to be in the court." It just fell into the hands of the Northern Qi. Now that you wake up, hurry up and go back with me, otherwise I will have to kill you lest the Northern Qi use you to blackmail the beam. ”
Queen Xiao said that she was angry, but there were mostly complaints in her eyes, and she raised her hand to gently help Zhao Xian's back.
Zhao Xian sighed secretly in his heart, and came back in a circle at the gate of the Netherworld, but he didn't expect that the first person to come and care about himself was Queen Xiao.
This sister is hot and generous, how can Zhao Xian not like it in his heart, but after all, she is a royal person and one of the leaders of Fuguotang. Zhao Xian was sure that Huayu would not turn his face with him because of Fu Guotang, but he didn't dare to guarantee that this Sister Xiao would be able to have one heart.
So in the past, Zhao Xian played with her with a few traces of distance, how did he not know what the beauty wanted? He is not a righteous gentleman, he likes her in his heart, but he doesn't like her identity, so the two can only keep an ambiguous relationship back and forth, without the slightest progress in their feelings.
However, if some women are made of water, some women are made of aqua regia. Then Queen Xiao, who exudes the temperament of this queen, must be the latter, even the hardest steel can't stop her infiltration. From Kyoto to Wuchang, from Wuchang to Chang'an, this Sister Xiao was supported by the belief that "I envy the language of flowers, so you have to like me", and she forced Zhao Xian's feet to be soft.
Zhao Xian was helped by her, and fell into her arms, leaned on the soft meat pillow, and smiled softly: "Sister Xiao, you once said that you wanted an unrestrained sky, and now I want to give it to you." Do you still want it? ”
The crisp chest suddenly leaned on her head, and Queen Xiao's mature body trembled a few times, and her pretty face was suddenly dyed a few shades of crimson. In the past, she teased Zhao Xian up and down, but now she was suddenly taken advantage of by Zhao Xian, but she became shy.
Hearing Zhao Xian's words, Empress Xiao was stunned, there was no unexpected excitement and joy in her eyes, but the slightly undulating breasts still reflected the emotions in her heart.
The slender hand holding Zhao Xian's back clenched slightly, her eyelashes trembled slightly, and she said lukewarmly: "I regret it now?" No chance. ”
I'll go, so it's interesting for you to come and go? Zhao Xian was her ruthless revenge on her before, and she shook her head and smiled bitterly at the moment: "Yes, I regret it!" ”
"Whew!" Suddenly, there was a sword roar, and the long sword in her hand was pulled out without warning, and it was directly on Zhao Xian's neck.
"Hey, hey, hey! Sister Xiao, I'm all gone, and you're still hard. Zhao Xian was shocked, and leaned closer to her chest: "If you like this tune, I can reluctantly cooperate, but now my body is a little inconvenient......"
"Boom!" Empress Xiao sneered, and whispered coquettishly in his ear: "You treat me as a little girl, and you can fool me into forgetting anything with a few sweet words?" On this trip to the Northern Qi Dynasty, it was impossible for the imperial court to agree, but it unexpectedly agreed. And you have been wrong since then, obviously you have long known that the imperial court will agree, and in the deep mountains of Northern Qi, where there are heavy troops stationed, you went there, obviously rushing to die. And after retreating to the riverside, Yue Pingyang really did not put the responding boats in place. ”
Empress Xiao's hand tightened the blade, and said with a smile: "Last time, I learned from my interception of your letter that in your letter to Shen Yu, you secretly hid the words 'attack on Northern Qi, no way back'. And Shen Yu's father is Shen Lingshan, the popular emperor in the imperial court. As soon as you contacted each other, you learned that after you got the news of the Northern Qi Emperor's tour, you immediately asked the court for help, and secretly informed Shen Yu, asking her to persuade the emperor to agree to this matter through the mouth of Shen Lingshan, and assigned Yue Pingyang to do this thing that cut off his back road.
Now, you are 'dead', Yue Pingyang committed suicide in fear of crime, and the only beneficiary of the government and the opposition is Shen Lingshan, who is the new Zhenguo Gong in the future. I can't figure out why you're doing such a thankless job? Do you have even a little bit of good? Wasn't Shen Yu's crown princess softened his heels? Does she have Hongu pretty? ”
Empress Xiao's pretty face was as calm as water, this reasoning and analysis can be described as the first thing, and the only thing that made her unsure was the ending. Zhao Xian didn't look stupid, he almost put his life on the line, paving the way for Shen Lingshan?
Zhao Xian shook his head and smiled bitterly, hearing her say this, the frivolity on his face subsided a little, and asked softly: "Sister Xiao, is your curiosity really so heavy?" There are some things that can only be borne by oneself and are not suitable for sharing with others. ”
"Do you know that I'm curious, and you still sell me off?" Empress Xiao glared at him angrily.
Zhao Xian raised his hand to push her sword away, grabbed her little hand and kneaded it gently, the soft and boneless touch made people's hearts ripple. Seeing the shame and curiosity on her beautiful face, Zhao Xian put his hand on his cheek and smiled slightly: "I only tell my wife what you want to know......" (To be continued......)
