Chapter 66: Yantou and the Savage
Qin Ruoan guessed that Su Chonghua might rebel, but he couldn't have guessed that Su Chonghua would beat him up and slander him for rebellion. When Qin Ruoan and the 20,000 soldiers were all annihilated, Su Chonghua also deducted the charge of killing the prince on Qin Ruoan's head by the way, and he was rehabilitated.
As long as I die, my father will have no support, and Su Chonghua will be able to cover the sky in the Tianyu Dynasty again. If Qin Ruo'an is accused of murdering the prince, and his ten clans will be punished, not only Qin Shangshu's family will be in trouble, but I am afraid that half of the Tianyu Dynasty will be implicated.
Get rid of those ministers who are loyal to the Tianyu royal family, and help their own forces to replace them. In this way, even if Su Chonghua seeks to usurp the throne one day, it will be easy.
Unfortunately, he missed one point, and that was - I could already recognize the cries of birds and beasts, the crows and birds flying out of the city, the hares and ferrets hiding in the snow, and they had made me know everything.
Seeing the army marching towards the city gate, General Chen hurriedly ordered his men to close the city gate, but his head was broken by the golden-faced master who had returned to the city tower, and the army entered Qingyuan County without hindrance.
Without staying in Qingyuan County, the 20,000 horses hurriedly had dinner and continued their rapid march southward, until the early morning of the next day, when they camped in a dense forest to rest.
It is rumored that this jungle is often infested with wild animals, which is why I chose to camp here. For one, with me, no beast would attack the 20,000-strong ranks. Second, this beast in the forest can also make Su Chonghua fearful.
In my sleep, I was awakened by a wolf howl, which sounded as if a pack of wolves were besieging an injured man. I quickly put on my cloak and stepped on the branches bent by the snow, and soon found the wolves. When the wolves saw me, they immediately scattered and fled, leaving behind a man dressed in black and covered in blood. Perhaps he was too tired, and when he saw the wolves leaving, the man didn't even retract the sword in his hand, and lay straight on the ground.
"Hey!" I shouted, and the man realized my presence. Looked at me.
It was a pair of very special eyes, with a touch of deep blue in the darkness, and it seemed like the deep blue was about to be submerged in darkness. I'm sure I've never met this guy before, but he always feels familiar to me.
"Who are you?" His voice was not loud, and he was thick with weariness.
"Who are you?" I asked rhetorically.
"If you don't say it, forget it." The man was also not attached, withdrew his gaze from me, and closed his eyes.
I walked up to him and nudged him, "Hey! If you sleep like this, you'll freeze to death. ”
"Don't bother the girl." The man didn't even raise his eyelids, "Girl, there are often wild beasts here, so it's better for the girl to leave as soon as possible!" ”
Unexpectedly, he only glanced at me, and he could already see that I was a woman dressed as a man. The eyes are really poisonous!
"You know it's a place where wild beasts are all the rage! Are you still lying here, waiting for the beast to eat? Seeing that he didn't speak, I continued: "Hey, there are troops camped over there, or I'll take you over and let the military doctor treat the wounds on your body." Then change into clean clothes. ”
"Hey, you're not going to fall asleep, are you!" I squatted down, pushed the man's shoulder and saw that he didn't respond, and patted his face again, but still didn't respond, "It's not going to die!" Thinking of this, I reached out to probe the man's snort, but he waved it away.
"With such great strength, it seems that I won't be able to die for a while." I already knew that this man was arrogant and didn't like others to approach, so I didn't insist on taking him back to the barracks, took out a bottle of wound medicine from his arms, put it in his hand, and reminded him for fear that he wouldn't see it: "This medicine can be applied externally and taken internally, how convenient and how you can use it!" Fearing that he would freeze to death in this barren mountain and wilderness, he took off his cloak and covered him, so he got up and walked back.
As soon as he took two steps, the man suddenly spoke: "My name is Xuanyuan Lie!" ”
"Xuanyuan Lie!" I looked back and smiled, "I used to have a friend who was from your own family, and his name was Xuanyuan Che. ”
But seeing that the man suddenly clenched the long sword in his hand, after a moment, he let it go again, and asked in a light tone: "Is there still a connection between the girl and your Nala friend?" ”
I shook my head: "I haven't heard from him for half a year." ”
He casually asked, "Why is the girl here?" ”
"Guess what!" Seeing that he was willing to talk to me, I turned back, knelt beside him, picked up the medicine bottle on the ground, and applied medicine to his exposed wounds. Most of his wounds were sword wounds, which should have been wounded in a fight, and then attacked by wolves, so he ended up in such a mess.
"The girl came here with the army?"
"That's right!"
"There are mostly men in the army, and you have a daughter's family, so you must be accompanying ......" The man's eyes that had been closed opened suddenly, and a playful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Military prostitute!" ”
"You're a military prostitute! Your whole family is a military prostitute! I pressed his wound hard, but he didn't frown, but laughed out loud.
"Remember to take the medicine!" I threw the bottle into his arms, left him alone, and got up to leave.
I thought that this matter was over, but I didn't expect that when we set off for the camp, Xuanyuan Lie appeared in front of me like a ghost.
At that time, when Xiao Ye saw that I was not wearing a cloak, he took off his cloak and put it on me, and when I saw that the little crown of his hair was crooked, I tiptoed to help him straighten it, but he was too tall, and my hand was sore, but the little crown was not good. I asked him to squat shorter, but he refused, so I wrapped my arms around his neck, and pulled him down so hard that he couldn't move, and then climbed on top of him, and put my arms around his neck, and my feet hung in the air, trying to use my weight to make him a little shorter.
At this moment, Xuanyuan Lie suddenly stood behind Xiao Ye, his ragged clothes and bloodstained face as if he had just crawled out of the pile of dead people, but he didn't realize how scary his appearance was. Instead, he looked straight at me with his eyes as dark as the deep sea, and as if the sky was about to plunge into endless darkness before the night fell.
That feeling is even more terrifying than opening your eyes in the middle of the night and standing in front of the bed with long hair covering your face and fluttering in white. I suddenly felt a chill spread from the soles of my feet to my whole body, and the cold made me feel so cold that the arm around Xiao Ye's neck suddenly relaxed, and my body suddenly lost its balance and leaned back. Xiao Ye reached out and grabbed my waist, and I bounced back and pounced on Xiao Ye.
Xuanyuan Lie opened his mouth at this time, and his voice was lukewarm: "This little white face is your concubine?" ”
Xiao Ye turned around, and her tone was tepid: "Where did the wild man come from?" ”
The air suddenly became quiet, and a pair of eyes as bright as the morning sun met the dark eyes that seemed to be about to drown everything. A storm is on the verge of breaking out.
"Are you here to thank me, or are you here to return my cloak?" I don't have a good impression of Xuanyuan Lie, and I think he is not good, so I want to send him away quickly.
Xuanyuan Lie's gaze finally moved away from the eye contact with Xiao Ye, and looked at me who was still being held in Xiao Ye's arms, "Didn't you say that you wanted to change me into clean clothes?" Do you want to change it for me here, or do we go into the woods to change it? ”
"So you're asking me for clothes," he will steal my concept, and I can change it back as well. I said to a few soldiers standing guard in the distance, "Come here, get a clean set of clothes, and change into this man right here." ”
Xuanyuan Lie laughed loudly again, "Forget it! I'm not so poor that I can't even afford clothes. Your cloak is still yours, I don't wear such ostentatious colors. "While throwing my red cloak over, Xuanyuan Lie also deliberately glanced at Xiao Ye, who was wearing a cloak of the same color as mine.
I thought that Xiao Ye was going to fight Xuanyuan Lie to the death again, so I was busy hugging his arm, but I saw that Xiao Ye didn't take Xuanyuan Lie's provocation to heart, raised his hand to take the cloak he threw over, gave me the one on his body, and draped the one that Xuanyuan Lie had touched on himself.
With Murong Xingye's cleanliness, as long as it is something that has been touched by his outsiders, he would rather destroy it than magnetic it again. However, if he really drew his sword and split the cloak according to his own temperament, the wild man would definitely be angry and fight with him, he was not afraid of fighting with the wild man, but if he bullied an injured wild man, Lin Muyu would definitely count himself again.
If it were normal times, Murong Xingye would rather freeze to death than put on the cloak that was touched by the dirty hands of that savage again. But right now, neither he nor Lin Muyu have extra cloaks, if he destroys that, the two of them will only have one cloak. In that case, Lin Muyu would definitely give him the cloak, and he was reluctant to let Lin Muyu freeze, so Murong Xingye did not destroy the cloak, but gave Lin Muyu the clean one on his body, and endured all the discomfort in his heart, and still draped it on himself that the wild man had touched.
As soon as I returned to the palace, I went to my father to discuss and kill Su Chonghua on the charge of disobeying the holy decree, murdering the prince, and blaming the good general. My father told me that the time was not yet ripe for the imperial court to tear up Su Chonghua's face. Su Chonghua still holds half of the military power of Tianyu Kingdom, and if he is directly convicted, not only will he not be able to kill him, but the contradiction between Su Chonghua and the court will be put from the dark to the open, forcing him to rebel.
"Then he will be named the general of Zhenbei, stationed north of Meiling, and he will not be able to return to the dynasty if he is not recalled." sent to the north of Meiling, even if he wants to raise troops to rebel, he has to pass Meiling Pass first.
"Tian'er, if you let Su Chonghua garrison north of Meiling, it is better to directly say that General Chonghua will be sent to the north of Meiling. Do you think he can listen to you? Tian'er, we must pay attention to the method of everything we do, and we must be reasonable and reasonable. If you don't have the certainty of hitting with one hit, you will only startle the snake if you make a rash move, and you will be in a passive position and in danger. ”
My father touched my head lovingly, and said earnestly: "What's more, we don't have the evidence that Su Chonghua plotted to kill the prince and blame Qin Ruoan, so we demoted Su Chonghua from a general to a general in a row without any evidence." He's going to bite back. said that our father and son crossed the river and demolished the bridge, unloaded the mill and killed the donkey, and with Qin Ruoan, who could lead the troops to fight, he couldn't wait to take action against General Chonghua, who had made great achievements. In this way, it also chilled the hearts of other courtiers in the court, and the consequences were unimaginable! ”
