Chapter 281: The Storm Rises Again (2)
The hard object behind me pierced my waist a little, and I took a deep breath and replied coldly, "I'll throw the dagger to the fastest man." βSanjiang Pavilion,"
"Oh? Don't you want a gem on a dagger? You know, there are still people in your family waiting for you to take money to save your life! There was a thick playful smile in the man's voice.
I glanced at the blood-soaked shirt of the boy, turned his head and said, "I have other things in my arms that can be used as money." β
"Hahaha, it's really smart......" The man raised his head and laughed when he heard this, I intuitively felt that the cold thing behind me was loose, and I suddenly turned around and pulled out the volinous rope on my waist and knocked the thing in the man's hand away with a "snap". Immediately after a crisp sound, a lustrous hosta shattered in an instant.
"Hahaha......" The man looked at me, smiling more "proudly".
I broke his hosta, what is he proud of?!
"Who the hell are you? What is the intention of you deliberately luring away my people and inviting me to watch this good show? β
"I'm from Jin, and my name is Zhao Ji." The man smiled and looked at me with burning eyes.
"Zhao Ji? Handan Jun ...... Zhao Ji! β
"I didn't expect you to hear my name. I thought that in the Zhao family, my Zhao Ji's name was a taboo. β
Handan Jun Zhao Ji, such a famous figure, I have naturally heard of it. If it is said that the Liuqing Rebellion started because Zhao Ying killed Zhao Wu, then the person who really ignited this prairie fire was the man in front of me.
More than 20 years ago, Yu An's father built Jinyang City for the Zhao family, and there must be people in the city, so Zhao Ying ordered Zhao Wu, the then Handan doctor, to transfer the 500 Weiguo hostages in Handan City to Jinyang. Zhao Wu refused, and Zhao Ying killed him in a fit of anger. Zhao Wu's son Zhao Ji avenged his father and embraced the city to stand on his own, which was for the king of Handan. The Zhongxing clan and the Fan clan are both related to Handan Jun, so in the name of killing the courtiers, they raised troops to attack Zhao Ying. This led to the Liuqing Rebellion, which lasted for eight years.
Legend has it that Handan Jun Zhao Ji is a rare beautiful man in the world, and now it seems that the rumors are not true. Zhao Ji should be forty this year, but he looks ten years younger.
"Handan-kun saw you today, but you were entrusted by someone?" I asked.
"Take it!" Zhao Ji smiled slightly, took out a roll of bamboo slips with wooden inspection and mud seal from his sleeve and threw it to me.
I took the bamboo slip, and after glancing at the Weiguo Jun seal on it, I smiled: "I originally planned to open it and take a look at it after getting two letters, and then decide whether to hand it over to Zhao Wuxian." Now, since you Handanjun came to deliver the letter in person, I don't need to read this letter, just burn it. β
"Don't you want to know what Wei Hou and Qi Hou are planning?"
"Yes, but no one in this world wants to see Zhao Ying's death more than you, Handanjun. What is good for the Jin Kingdom and the Zhao family, you will never do it. β
Zhao Ji listened to my words and did not refute, only lowered his head and smiled and touched the sachet on his waist: "Xiao'er, no matter who raised you or taught you to become an adult, he did a really good job." After speaking, he blew out the yarn lamp in his hand in one breath, and as soon as the light went out, the person in front of him disappeared in front of me like a black smoke, leaving only the clear and confusing Jiang Lixiang in the night breeze for a long time.
When I returned to the pavilion, the brazier on the stilt outside the inn had already lit a court fire to guide the way, and Ah Yu knelt on a piece of gravel under the courtyard fire, and the flames illuminated his face red.
"Where's your master?" I asked.
"I'm out looking for the girl."
"The Jade Crown is back?"
"Chased back."
"You deserve to be punished too! After following your master for so long, one trick to lure you away. If someone really wants to be unfavorable to you and me today, don't say that I can't come back, your life will be ruined in the alleys of Shangqiu City. β
"Ah Yu begged the girl to punish her." Ah Yu frowned, leaned over and knocked heavily on the gravel ground under his feet.
I sighed, reached out and pulled him, and pulled on the empty sleeve of his broken arm. So, I went to pull his shoulders again, but Ah Yu was so strong that he only fell his body, and he couldn't get up no matter how I dragged it. I was so tired that I collapsed, and as soon as the fire came up, my head hurt terribly: "Get up for me!" You didn't listen to me back then, killed the fish woman, broke an arm, and now you have to destroy your legs and become a waste? Hurry up and find your master, just say that I got lost and found it myself. β
"Girl......" Ah Yu looked up at me, as if he was a little shaken. I took the opportunity to pull him up: "Go ahead!" β
"No!" Ah Yu answered, turned around and ran away.
I watched one of his empty sleeves flying in the night wind, and I couldn't help but sigh in my heart: "Fool, fool, if you didn't kill her back then, she would have already given birth to a child for you!" β
After Ah Yu left, I lowered my head and took out the two rolls of bamboo slips that Ah Su and Zhao Ji gave me from my arms. Ah Su once said that Chen Heng had a Jin man by his side, and all the conspiracy layouts were done by this person. Now it seems that this person is Handan Jun Zhao Ji. When I was in Linzi City, almost every foot fell into the trap he dug, and I ran all the way to escape, and in the end, instead of saving the life of Qihou Lu Ren, I lost a Zhang Mengtan in vain.
Now, he Zhao Ji personally handed me such a secret letter, just like a poisonous snake putting his fangs in the palm of my hand, and said with a smile, It's okay, I ask you to touch it.
Kuai Yu may have betrayed Zhao Ying, maybe not, but I don't dare to read the letter sent by this poisonous snake, and I don't dare to give it to anyone. So, with a wave of his hand, he threw the two rolls of bamboo slips into the blazing brazier beside him.
To be honest, I don't believe in fate, and I don't believe that there is a person above the Nine Heavens who really cares about the suffering and happiness, life and death of everyone in the world.
Later, I didn't see how the pouring rain started without warning, but I remember that the moment I stepped on the steps of the pavilion, there was a crackling sound of falling rain behind me. The sound of the rain was so loud in the night that it fell from the sky like popping beans. I rushed out to find the bamboo slips in the brazier at the door. But when I held the two rolls of bamboo slips in my arms, Wuxian and Ah Yu appeared under the rain curtain.
"What are you doing?" I flew in without a shirt and rushed into the pavilion with me drenched.
I held two rolls of bamboo slips and looked at the rainstorm above my head, stunned.
Everything that happens after that is no longer under my control.
After Zhao Ying knew that Kuai Yu intended to betray Jin and join Qi, he was furious. He immediately sent a letter to Wei Guo, asking Kuai Yu to send his eldest son to Jin as a hostage to show his gratitude and loyalty to the Jin State. But Kuai Yu repeatedly delayed, and finally rejected him.
Ten years of hard work came to naught, and Zhao Ying couldn't accept such a betrayal.
In the summer of the forty-second year of King Zhou, Zhao Ying, who was in his sixties, disregarded the dissuasion of everyone and stood on the chariot again, put on armor and went out to fight to defend the country. In June, the Jin army besieged it, and the Qi State sent a large army to help.
When I was born, I followed Zhao Ying. On the battlefield outside Diqiu City, I saw Zhao Ji, the king of Handan in disguise, and also saw Qi Qing's national view. The moment I saw Guoguan, I immediately understood why Ah Su and Zhao Ji handed over those two secret letters to me.
Those who are worried about the inside attack the strong, and those who are worried about the outside attack the weak. Chen Heng wanted to repeat the old tricks, let Zhao Ying and Guoguan fight to the death in defending the country, and reap the benefits of the fisherman himself.
I told Zhao about my concerns.
Fortunately, Zhao Ying was not the husband of Wu Wangfu, although he hated Kuai Chen's betrayal, he also knew that he could not fight the Qi army head-on. So, he chose to retire.
In October, when the political opinions of the Qi State were different from the central government, Zhao Ying once again commanded the army to defend it.
This time, he captured Weidu. Kuai Yu escaped from the palace overnight and fled to the Qi country. In the same month, Zhao Ying set up Gongsun Banshi as the king in Diqiu.
In mid-October, when I thought that everything had settled and that I could finally return to Xinjiang to reunite with Wuxian, things took a turn for the worse.
On the way back to Jin, Zhao Ying recovered from his old illness due to overwork and fell off the chariot.
Outside the city of Diqiu, Kuai Xun, who fled halfway, returned to the country under the escort of his cronies, drove away the new monarch Banshi, and was restored to the throne.
One is empty, and another is empty.
Sitting in front of Zhao Ying's sickbed, I really saw clearly the evil intentions, punishment, and chaos contained in the two bamboo slips. On the reckless wasteland of the country, it snowed heavily. The snow here is cold and damp, and there are no light flying snowflakes, only countless ice slags mixed with rain falling from the sky. A biting cold wind raged outside the tent, everything in the tent was shaking, and the world seemed to collapse at any moment.
The army is outside, and the daily consumption of thousands of gold, and the back and forth of the First World War of the Patriotic War has dragged the Jin army back and forth for nearly half a year. Zhao Ying does not plan to return to Jin, and returning to Jin at this time means that once the situation of Qi is stable, the defense of the country will inevitably fall into the hands of Qi people.
Therefore, the last thing Zhao Ying said to me before he fell into a coma was to attack and defend.
But how can I, a woman, capture a country for the Zhao family?
That day was the first time I stood on the chariot. On the boundless snowfield, the soldier's leather armor is as black as ink, and in the black and white world, I am alone in a high bundle of green silk, and my red clothes are flying.
I'm going to let him see me, I'm going to let him see me clearly.
On the city of Diqiu, I can almost hear his scorn from the depths of his throat the moment he sees me.
I drove forward and ordered him to go out of the city and surrender.
He took his longbow and shot the banner on my chariot with one arrow.
The siege lasted only half an hour, and I gathered my troops and returned to camp. When Xiang Chao walked into my tent, I was dealing with an arrow wound on my arm.
"Wizard, the deputy general of the Chao army, tomorrow's siege should be commanded by the nest. Although the nest is not talented, it will definitely capture the emperor qiu and take the Weihou within half a month! Xiang Chao was so angry with my performance today that he rushed in front of me with a profuse sweat, and two green veins on his forehead jumped suddenly.
I carefully lowered my rolled up cuffs, got up and scooped a cup of hot water from the steaming cauldron in the center of the tent and handed it to Xiang Chao: "General, don't worry, do you want to drink hot water first?" Is it snowing outside again? Baidu search "Sanjiang Pavilion" to see the latest and most complete!
