Chapter 131: Return to the Dynasty
For a long time, I have covered up Gu Zhengxi's madness on the grounds of his poor health, but I don't want to, his madness is fake, and waiting for an opportunity to seize power is true! But it was too late for me to wake up at this time, Gu Zhengxi had already falsely passed the will of the imperial grandson to deceive the Manchu Dynasty civil and military forces to the palace on the grounds of deliberation and captured them one by one, and replaced the generals of the defenders of the capital, and at the same time announced to the world: Tianyu Guojun has recovered from a serious illness, returned to the helm of the court, Ruan Hongshao added the title of Empress Rongzhen, and reinstated his son Gu Tianhao as the crown prince.
I can't figure out how a person who has lived in the deep palace for a long time can cultivate the power that can subvert the entire Tianyu court in just a few dozen days, but I must rush back to the capital within these seven days to save Cao'er's life.
In the commander's tent, I announced to the generals: "General Xuanyuan led the cavalry battalion to return to the court with me, and the others were handed over to General Huyan to command, and continued to move forward until the entire Xiliang was captured!"
The general of Huyan here is called Hu Yanchi, who was an orphan raised by a wild wolf, and was adopted and cultivated by Hu Yanzhuo's father to become the first fierce general in the Northern Desert. This person is very good at using troops and is very loyal, even if he can't capture Xiliang by putting the army under his command, he will not lose the city that he has worked hard to capture from Hanging Moon Pass to here, so I will have no worries.
Hu Yanchi took a step forward, a pair of shrewd eyes shining on that honest face, and said: "This trip is extremely dangerous, and the cavalry camp is only 3,000 people, I'm afraid I can't handle it?" Why don't His Royal Highness and General Xuanyuan lead the cavalry battalion first, and don't bring the rest of the men and horses to follow? ”
I know that the reason why Hu Yanchi is loyal to me is completely because of Cao'er, to put it bluntly, if it weren't for Cao'er, he would be incompatible with Tianyu and me.
"It is a long journey from here to my Tianyu Capital City, and the rapid march of the brigade will take half a moon, I am afraid that the water will not quench the thirst of the near. But General Huyan rest assured, I have ordered the Ghost King Ding and the Beidaying garrison to break into pieces and sneak into the capital. These 60,000 horses are more than enough to attack the city, not to mention just a palace! ”
"Your Highness is wise!" Hu Yanchi bowed to me, and said: "The terrain of Xiliang is complex and the troops are strong, it is really difficult to take the heavy task of Xiliang with the ability to not general, and General Xuanyuan's knowledge and strategy, leading the troops to fight are far above the general, it is better to change the general to lead the cavalry battalion and His Royal Highness back to the dynasty, how about General Xuanyuan continue to lead the army to the west?" ”
Speaking of which, Hu Yanchi still can't rest assured that Cao'er is safe, and he has to see that Cao'er is safe to rest assured. But Xiliang is Xuanyuan Che's mother country, Xiliang Emperor Xuanyuan Ye is Xuanyuan Che's biological father, Xiliang Prince Xuanyuan Lie is Xuanyuan Che's own brother, although he has not been passive along the way, but even if he is willing to capture Xiliang for Tianyu, how can I let Xuanyuan Che face the father-son rivalry.
"General Huyan, I know that you have made a heavy oath in front of Prince Yang: to do your best to assist His Royal Highness the Imperial Grandson to become a generation of virtuous monarchs through the ages. But I make the same vow as you! I raised my voice a lot higher, and said, "If this world is my revenge, then Cao'er is my life!" If I die, what is the use of my world? "It's better to give it to the restored Fengqi Kingdom, and to the Fengqi Emperor - Xiao Qingyu. Although Xiao Qingyu lost me, I know that he will never lose the world, even if one day, he loses himself!
Seeing that I had said this, Hu Yanchi finally stopped insisting and took the token out of the camp. I traveled day and night with Xiao Ye's sweaty and bloody horse, Xuanyuan Che led two thousand cavalry battalions to chase after him, and finally arrived at the capital late at night on the fifth day.
In fact, there are indeed 60,000 horses in the Ghost King Ding and the camp in the north of the city, but these 60,000 horses did not break into pieces and enter the city as I said to Hu Yanchi at this time, otherwise, I would not have ordered Xuanyuan Che to lead the cavalry battalion back to the capital with me. And three thousand good horses are no match for the sweaty horses that travel thousands of miles a day, and at this time, those three thousand horses are still eight hundred miles away.
The current martial arts alliance leader Qiu Yun was originally the eldest disciple of the Divine Doctor Valley Lord, and it was he who led people to wash the entire alliance leader villa with blood. Later, under the secret promotion of the Divine Doctor Valley, Yue Weichang soon ascended to the throne of the leader of the Martial Arts Alliance, and used the identity of the leader of the Martial Arts Alliance to recruit people in the martial arts for the use of the Divine Doctor Valley, and also spread rumors to confuse the people, and even blatantly recruited troops and horses, in the name of the way of the heavens, in the posture of a righteous army, to confront our court.
And the purpose of the Divine Medicine Valley to imprison martial arts masters is not for those so-called peerless martial arts, but for the blood of these people with peerless martial arts!
Xiao Qingyu once told me that someone destroyed the most important thing in refining the Evil Dispelling Guyang Pill, the Ancient Divine Grass, and that Ancient Divine Grass was the Blood Grass.
Blood Grass Flower Language: Take blood as an alliance and always be with you. Legend has it that the seeds of blood grass must be soaked in blood before they can germinate. After that, it has to be watered with blood every morning and evening to grow. The ancient gods will use their own blood to cultivate blood grass, and then use the water added to the blood grass juice to water the flowers and trees, this kind of flowers and trees will become the master's most loyal servants after the transformation of the human body, and the lifespan can be up to 10 million years, while the elves transformed into ordinary flowers and trees only have a lifespan of 10,000 years, unless the master renews their life, otherwise when the 10,000-year limit arrives, it will turn into fireworks and bloom in the air, and then disappear.
Ordinary flowers and trees naturally cannot transform into humans, but blood grass can bring ordinary people back to life.
Tulip Mountain used to be the place where the goddess Fengxun died in battle, and a blood grass seed that didn't know when and where it fell was nourished by the blood of the goddess Fengxun and quietly sprouted. But the dried blood in the soil is not enough for its growth. Therefore, for thousands of years, this little grass sprout was still just a small grass sprout, until the Fengqi royal family discovered it.
So he began to try to water the blood grass with the blood of a living person, and at first he didn't see any reaction from the little grass bud, until he was practicing martial arts with his friend, and his friend was accidentally injured, and the blood was sprinkled on the little grass bud, and it miraculously gave out a new leaf.
That night, he charmed his friend while he was asleep and drained him of all the blood. For two days in a row, the grass sprouts will grow a new leaf every day, and on the third day, he poured a big bowl of blood on the grass sprouts, but the grass sprouts not only did not grow, but they were sluggish, it turned out that the blood grass wanted fresh blood, and the blood of mortals was already coming, not to mention the stinky blood that had already turned black!
So he sent his men around capturing the masters and putting them in iron cages in caves and bleeding them every day until they died.
Yun Cheng learned the whereabouts of the Cloud Alliance Lord and went to rescue him, and the Cloud Alliance Lord threatened Yun Cheng with his life to destroy the evil thing that had harmed countless people's lives before Fang Ken left the iron cage, and in the end, Yun Cheng burned the blood grass, but was captured by the Divine Doctor Valley......
Five years ago, Xiao Xianger's face was injured by the explosion and her appearance was completely ruined. Qiu Yun searched all over the world to find all the herbs for refining Snow Rejuvenation Cream, and a month ago, Snow Meditation Rejuvenation Cream was finally refined in the Alliance Lord's Villa, and there was only one bottle.
That's all it takes! Although this snow condensation rejuvenating cream is not comparable to Liang Jingshu's loyalty to protect my appearance, if I give it to Liang Jingshu, I believe she will be very happy!
Hanging Moon Pass has been controlled by the West Liang State, the goods to and from the value have to pay heavy taxes, bulk goods such as coal, melons and fruits, food, traders will pass through here, but some like silk, gold, treasure jade these small and relatively valuable goods, in order to escape high taxes, the traders will take risks, in the north of the Hanging Moon Pass three hundred miles of the vast mountain veins to open up another way.
The alliance leader villa is in the territory of Tianyu Kingdom, since the bridge erected on the Tongyou River was ordered to be demolished by Fengqi State five years ago, Qiu Yun often pretended to be a merchant to and from the Three Kingdoms through the Hanging Moon Pass. If today, Yuxi Liang started a war and the Hanging Moon Pass tunnel was closed, and Qiu Yun had no choice but to send the snow condensation rejuvenating cream back to Fengqi except for the road in the northern remnants of Damang Mountain.
The trail passes through dark valleys, climbs steep peaks, walks less than two feet of cliffs, and passes through the river with only an arm-thick iron cable connecting the two banks, and the goods and horses can only be hoisted in the air and pulled by human means by a few simple pulleys to the opposite bank. There are often goods, horses and even traders who die in the river, and the so-called people die for money, and there are not a few people who take risks under the temptation of huge profits.
But more than 100 horses carried so many silk horses to the dangerous road of smugglers, and a discerning person could guess the strange thing at a glance, and it was precisely because of this that Qiu Yun's whereabouts were exposed.
So, I secretly asked Mo Qian to select a thousand masters at the top of the ghost king to set up an ambush for this group of men and horses along the road, and just now came the news that Qiu Yun has been captured alive and is being escorted back to the capital.
The rest of the people on the top of the ghost king, together with the 50,000 horses of the Beida battalion, took advantage of Qiu Yun to travel far away, and General Wu led the rebels to smash the main mountain villa of the alliance.
In the city, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were all locked up in the prison by Gu Zhengxi, and the guards in the city all changed their faces, and even the shops of Murong Villa in the city were monitored. Standing on the empty roof, I felt a kind of desolation.
Feeling someone put a cloak on me from behind, I turned around, wrapped my hands around his waist, buried my head in his chest, and whispered, "Don't move, let me lean for a while, just for a while." ”
"If you're tired, go to sleep!" Murong Xingye hugged the woman in her arms, but she didn't dare to push too hard, when was the last time she hugged him like this? Was it five years ago, or even more ago, forget it, I don't want to, being able to hold her like this and smell the fragrance of her hair, Murong Xingye is already satisfied.
But the person in his arms suddenly raised his head in confusion, looked at him with bright eyes like black jewels, and said in surprise: "I thought of where Gu Zhengxi hid Cao'er!" ”
"Where?" Murong Xingye cooperated.
"Tianshou Palace Secret Prison!" Cao'er is my biggest weakness, with Gu Zhengxi's character, he must be by his side to take care of it personally to rest assured. In the past two years, Gu Zhengxi has asked the Internal Affairs Office for some bricks and timber from time to time, I thought he was going to repair a flower bed or build a pavilion or something, but I didn't see anything new in Tianshou Palace, now that I think about it, the purpose of his asking for these things is to repair the secret prison!
At dawn, the Tianxiang Hall and the Prince's East Palace, where Ruan Hongshao lived, suddenly caught fire, and the entire palace was in chaos.
At noon, General Yuan led a total of 7,000 defenders of Wangyong Pass, Luoxia Pass, and Zhantian City to join the 3,000 Xiao cavalry battalion led by Xuanyuan Che.
When Shen, the army invaded the palace and surrounded Gu Zhengxi and Ruan Hongshao's mother and son in the Xuanzheng Palace.
