Chapter 94: Dark clouds obscure the night
The next day, the army escorting the Tang Emperor entered from the north gate of Qinghe County, and under the leadership of the Cui family of Qinghe County, all the residents knelt on the side of the street, watching the Tang Emperor walk out of the north gate. Pen God Pavilion
Cui Yi, who had been reinstated as an official, took a thousand garrisons to escort Tang Huang and others into Qingxia.
As soon as you enter the green gorge, the sky is filled with a light rain.
The rain lingered, and the Tang Emperor stepped down from the carriage. Gaze at the famous Grand Canyon.
It's a beautiful place, and the peaks on both sides are not high, but they are quite handsome. The mountain is not treacherous, but it is also unique.
It's winter, but it's warm. The mountain flowers and wild grasses clustered in the valley swayed gently in the breeze, as if welcoming the Tang Emperor.
Goo~
Suddenly, somewhere on the left, a flock of wild birds flew up in a valley.
The wild birds seemed to be panicked, and the procession, which should have been in order, scattered and fled in the rain.
Emperor Tang's face was calm, and under the umbrella held up by his accompanying father-in-law, he silently walked through the busy sergeants.
Although the light rain was not cold or pouring, it made a crackling sound when it hit the tents that had not yet been erected.
"One, two, from~"
In the shouting of Huashan Mountain, a pair of feet wearing military boots suddenly stepped on the muddy ground, splashing a piece of muddy water, and the sergeants shouted, and after working together, a big tent was pulled up.
The rest of the sergeants hurriedly brought gravel from the valley and held the bottom corner of the tent steadily.
Hua Shanyue took heavy steps, came to the Tang Emperor, and knelt on one knee.
"Your Majesty, the big tent has risen, please move it to the account."
Emperor Tang waved his hand, pointed to a few shirtless sergeants over there, and said calmly, "Let them go first." I want to walk everywhere in this valley. ”
Hua Shanyue hurriedly replied: "Your Majesty, Qingxia has never been safe, and I hope Your Majesty will think twice!" ”
The shirtless men wiped the rain from their bodies, and under the gaze of Hua Shanyue, they hurriedly knelt on the ground.
"Your Majesty, as a sergeant, we have long been accustomed to the severe cold and heat, and these light rains naturally can't help us."
Emperor Tang was silent, and at this moment, tents were pulled up. Seeing this, Hua Shanyue hurriedly clenched his fists and said: "Your Majesty, the sergeants' tents have been pulled up, and the mountains are wet and cold, please don't delay, Your Majesty." ”
Emperor Tang waved his hand, motioned for Hua Shanyue to get up, and walked towards the big tent with steps.
The shirtless sergeants also stood upright at this moment, and each of them rushed into the tent with his clothes and armor in his arms.
Emperor Tang entered the big tent, Hua Shanyue held down the hand of the saber, clenched it slightly, his eyes flashed, and he stood silently outside the big tent.
Soon, the shouts of the Tang Emperor came from inside the big tent. When Hua Shanyue heard this, he straightened his armor that was wet by the drizzle.
Behind the tent door, Emperor Tang turned his back to the big tent, his eyes staring closely at the military map.
Seeing this, Hua Shanyue stepped into the big tent, and then stood at the door of the tent, waiting silently.
"Huashanyue, out of Qingxia, you can go to the territory of the big river. At the current speed, how long will it take for me to reach Xiling Peach Hill? ”
Hua Shanyue clenched his fists, the armor sounded with the action, thought about it and said in a deep voice: "It will take seven days." ”
"Seven days? It's been too long, and I plan to take the Southern Jin Dynasty to shorten the distance after I get out of Qingxia. ”
Hearing Emperor Tang's words, Hua Shanyue fell into a tangle, according to the predetermined plan, he should have chosen the path without hesitation at this time.
But the scene that happened in front of him just now affected his judgment after all.
"Your Majesty, the minister feels that the path has been greatly shortened. However, there are a lot of weeds and rocks on the path, and there are many small hills along the road, which are not good places, and the main road is safer. ”
When Emperor Tang heard this, an unknown smile appeared on his face with his back to him, and his tone was still cold.
"I don't want to waste my time on this useless journey. You are the elite of the Tang Dynasty, but what are you afraid of the thieves in the mountains. ”
Hua Shanyue frowned, he didn't know why Emperor Tang had to choose the path, but he knew that the path was a dead end.
"Your Majesty, although the ministers are elite, but after all, there are few people, if in the chaos, the thieves are shocked by the holy driver, and the ministers will be to blame! I hope Your Majesty will think twice! ”
Tang Huang shook his head, turned around, calmly looked at Hua Shanyue's face full of firm ground, and spoke.
"Hua Shanyue, I know that you have scruples in your heart, but as the head of a country, if I don't believe in my Tang Sergeant, who will."
Seeing that Hua Shanyue still wanted to say more, Emperor Tang raised his hand and interrupted: "Don't say more, I have made up my mind, I will set off in an hour and take advantage of the Southern Jin Dynasty." ”
Hua Shanyue wanted to continue to persuade, but when he saw Emperor Tang turn his back, he could only sigh and leave the big tent.
An hour later, there was still a drizzle in the sky, but the rain could not stop the army from advancing.
The tent that had just been erected was also quickly dismantled by the sergeants.
Hua Shanyue's face was solemn, and he didn't look at the three princes with a satisfied face, and came to the carriage and waited quietly.
Seeing this, Li Huiyuan's eyes flashed, and he nodded secretly, and then turned over and got on the horse.
The sergeants continued to set off, although it was raining, and the speed of the march was greatly slowed down, but the group still entered the territory of the Southern Jin Dynasty before the night came.
The local officials of the Southern Jin Dynasty, who were urgently informed, waited hard in the cold wind, and finally saw the military flag with Tang characters written on it before the night came, and also saw the elite soldiers of the Tang Dynasty who exuded a murderous atmosphere.
The sergeants rode forward, their feet falling to the ground, and the earth seemed to tremble under the hooves.
The leading official secretly wiped the cold sweat on his forehead and sighed softly.
"Datang deserves to be Datang, this team of thousands of people has such momentum."
When the army marched in front of him, the official stepped forward and said loudly: "The horse of Hongyang County of the Southern Jin Dynasty is south, and I have seen the Tang Emperor!" ”
The official leaned down and bowed, and the carriage that was surrounded by the sergeants in the center, Tang Huang opened the wooden door, calmly stepped out of the carriage, came to Ma Xiangnan, and helped him up.
"Master Ma doesn't have to be polite."
Ma Xiangnan straightened up, not daring to look up at the Tang Emperor in front of him who was wearing a black and gold dragon robe.
"I'm in a hurry, rashly borrowing the way, abruptly, I hope Master Ma doesn't mind."
Ma Xiangnan bowed down when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "Emperor Tang doesn't need to do this, after receiving the news, the lower officials really didn't prepare, so they had to order the slaves and maids in the mansion to prepare wine and food when they came......"
Before the words were finished, Emperor Tang interrupted with a smile: "Master Ma doesn't have to be like this, this place is quite far away from Hongyang County, if you take a detour, it won't mess up the itinerary." It's already inappropriate for me to borrow Hongyang, so I won't bother much. ”
The horse looked at the back of Emperor Tang walking towards the carriage, bowed down and said, "In this way, the lower official will say goodbye." ”
Seeing the group continue to walk south, Ma Xiangnan waved his hand, and the guards behind him hurriedly stepped forward.
"You took more than 100 soldiers to escort Emperor Tang out of the county. Remember, I must be more careful in Hongyang County. ”
The guards agreed, and they took more than 100 sergeants and followed behind Tang Jun not far away.
The night was already deep, and the Tang army had come to the border of Hongyang County in a few hours. The Southern Jin sergeant who followed behind him also breathed a sigh of relief silently at this time.
Shout~
Suddenly, the sound of an iron arrow piercing the air made the Southern Jin soldiers furious.
With the shout of "protect the Tang Emperor" sounded, the soldiers of the two countries instantly pulled out their long knives.
Under the cover of dark clouds, the night looks very terrifying. As more and more noises followed, a rain of arrows enveloped the dull sky.
The crowd became more and more panicked, and as more and more sounds of landing, the screams of the sergeants also enveloped the field in an instant.
Li Huiyuan had already slipped away in the dark, listening to the shouts of the sergeants one after another, and the face full of joy also became extremely hideous at this moment.
The rain of arrows was like a continuous drizzle, but in just a few breaths, there was no longer a shout.
Li Huiyuan rushed out excitedly, picked up the long knife from the corpse on the side, and walked towards the carriage that had been shot into a hornet's nest by iron arrows.
As Li Huiyuan rushed out, suddenly on the gloomy plain, groups of figures stood upright from the ground.
These people were dressed in leather armor, black nocturnal leather armor, and there was a noise as they ran.
Looking at the crowd of black pressure, Li Huiyuan raised the long knife in his hand and opened the car door with a cruel smile.
In the dark, Li Huiyuan's long knife swung and slashed towards the carriage. The sound of the long knife breaking through the air spread far away in the dark night, and Li Huiyuan laughed.
Laughing and laughing, he cried bitterly in the dark night, and muttered in his mouth: "Father, I'm sorry, don't blame the sons and daughters for being ruthless, only blame you for being too partial!" ”
Suddenly, a flash of fire lit up from behind Li Huiyuan, illuminating the invisible darkness.
Li Huiyuan was crying in a hideous cry, but he didn't notice that there was a dead silence behind him.
He was still immersed in the desire for power at his fingertips, unable to extricate himself.
His cry was very soft, and he cried and cried, and it became a tearful laugh.
He picked up the sword that had fallen into the carriage from the carriage and pulled it out.
Looking at its cold blade, it swung down with great force, and the long sword cut through the darkness and slashed at the already broken carriage, completely destroying it.
Li Huiyuan laughed and muttered: "This world is mine, this world is mine!" I am Li Huiyuan, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and the lord of the world! ”
Smiling and smiling, Li Huiyuan turned around and saw the familiar face full of regret and hatred in the firelight.
The sword that had been drawn fell to the ground with a thud. Li Huiyuan was stunned on the spot as if he had lost his mind.
Emperor Tang sighed, in pain, his eyes were soaked with tears, although he tried to stop the tears from falling, he couldn't stop the hands that were clenched with anger.
"Father...... Father? ”
Syllable~
A violent slap sounded, and the slap full of anger flew Li Huiyuan's fan out.
Li Huiyuan screamed miserably, his mouth full of white teeth stained red by the blood, and he looked very frightened in the firelight.
"Father, father, son-in-law knows that he is wrong, beg his father to remember the love of father and son, and spare his son-in-law this time."
Li Huiyuan knelt on the ground and kowtowed again and again in panic.
Emperor Tang raised his foot, put a foot on Li Huiyuan's disgusting face, and said coldly: "Rebel!" ”
Li Hunyuan spat out a mouthful of blood again, the face that should have been handsome and extraordinary, after a series of blows, the blood was mixed with the dirt and became ugly.
In the dim light, no one dared to step forward, and all the sergeants witnessed this human tragedy.
After many kicks and beatings, Tang Huang finally exhausted himself due to weakness and stopped this inhumane ravage.
Li Huiyuan's face, in the firelight, looked quite translucent, and the robe was also dyed earth-colored by muddy water.
Those eyes that should have revealed despair rose a hint of madness.
Trembling, Li Huiyuan touched the long sword that fell to the ground, held the sword with difficulty, and stabbed it towards the back of Emperor Tang.
Rumble~
The long sword was blocked by a thick and wide long knife, Li Huiyuan looked at the familiar face, hatred suddenly appeared in his eyes, and the long sword danced again and again, as if he was going to take that person's life!
After Hua Shanyue intercepted it several times, he took a step back and looked at Li Huiyuan, who was crazy, with an expressionless face.
"You despicable villain, you dare to betray me, Hua Shanyue, don't forget that your mother is still in the hands of this prince, you are disgusted that your mother has lived too long by doing this!"
A trace of struggle appeared on Hua Shanyue's face, but after remembering the picture of Emperor Tang letting the sergeant enter the account first, the struggle gradually subsided, and only a trace of sadness remained.
Tang Huang snorted coldly, turned around, and looked at his child, the anger in those eyes gradually being covered by indifference.
"From this day forward, you are no longer a prince. I don't have a rebellious son like you who slaughter kings and fathers! ”
Li Huiyuan smiled when he heard this, holding his sword, and the long sword trembled and pointed at the Tang Emperor.
"Li Zhongyi! Everything I do today is forced by you! It's you, a wolf-hearted dog-lunged person, who covets beauty and forgets about the country! If it weren't for the slut and the little slut, why would I be like this? ”
Emperor Tang was indifferent, a trace of disappointment appeared in his eyes, he turned around and whispered to Hua Shanyue: "Look at him." ”
After leaving these words, he disappeared in the darkness like an old man who had lost his spirit.
Hua Shanyue nodded silently, and immediately reached out and grabbed the long sword and took Li Huiyuan down.
No matter how Li Huiyuan struggled, it was difficult to escape Hua Shanyue's palm.
"Hunyuan, you've been wrong, don't be wrong again and again."
"Shut up, you, a disloyal, unrighteous and unfilial person, what qualifications do you have to talk about the prince? Hua Shanyue, don't forget, as long as Chang'an can't receive the signal from me tomorrow, all of you will die on the spot! ”
Hua Shanyue shook his head and said calmly: "If my mother knows, she will definitely not blame me." But you, if the concubine is still there, you will be very disappointed! ”
After saying this, Li Huiyuan suddenly opened his mouth and bit Hua Shanyue's hand. Hua Shanyue twisted his eyebrows, thought about it, and a palm knife fell on his neck. Li Huiyuan rolled his eyes and fell into a coma on the spot.
In the swaying firelight, Emperor Tang looked at Xu Chongshan and said lightly: "Have something to say?" ”
Xu Chongshan nodded, and quickly shook his head again. Holding his sword towards Xiaoshu, he looked at the Southern Jin sergeant who fell to the ground.
"These people are dead."
Emperor Tang looked back, looked at Chao Xiaoshu's strict and calm face, and said calmly: "He can't die." ”
"Why?"
"I still need to find the whereabouts of King Yan from his mouth."
Chao Xiaoshu was puzzled, and after making sure that Emperor Tang didn't laugh anymore, he fell silent again.
"I think he's damned."
After a long silence, he left this sentence at the little tree, turned around and disappeared into the darkness.
Emperor Tang's footsteps stopped, and he looked at the shadow in the darkness with a complicated expression.
Not long after Chao Xiaoshu disappeared, suddenly a bell rang out from the darkness!
Emperor Tang changed his voice when he heard this, and the Zhennan army that had just appeared also hugged his head in this bell.
Xu Chongshan pulled out the long knife in his hand and shouted angrily: "Protect Your Majesty!" ”
In the mountains behind the academy, Tang Ning, who was lying on his desk in the old study building, heard a bell that was not pleasant. The pair of sword eyebrows,There was a hint of irritability.。。
Silently put down the pen and paper in his hand, and Tang Ning disappeared in the old book building.
