Chapter 576: Battle-Void and Reality: Mirage
Wen Ruoyan, one of the "Four Friends of Wenyuan". After being broken by Zhao Shili that year, he was taken to Luoyang by Yang Xu and worked as a homeless man and a fortune teller for a year. Whenever others ask about the broken leg, they always scold Yan Huo'er, if it weren't for her, how could she be crippled?
Another enemy of Yan Huo'er was born. Dongfang Yuan saw the shadow of himself in Wen Ruoyan, and he was also forced to be involved in the center of the whirlpool of the struggle between the big forces, and he was also powerless and could only be at the mercy of others. Therefore, Dongfang Yuan was wooed several times, and finally said that Wen Ruoyan joined the staff, and after more than ten years, his official position soared, and by the time of the Civil War, he was already the deputy marshal's former military division and the civil military division.
Other people's military advisors are trying their best to give advice to the commander-in-chief, but Dongfang Yuan's military advisor is just a fictitious position, the reason why he particularly favors Wen Ruoyan is that the common enemy is one point, and more importantly, he has the same experience. As for making suggestions and going into battle to confront the Southern Army in person, there is no need for Wen Ruoyan at all, just crippled this, and it is enough to bring it with you. Therefore, Huo'er did not see Wen Ruoyan outside Beiyu Town.
But does Wen Ruoyan really hate Huo'er? The answer is clearly not. Each person's personality is different, which creates different ways of dealing with the world and values. Although Wen Ruoyan has many shortcomings, he loves vanity, is frivolous and jealous, and is extremely narrow-minded, but among his few advantages, his loyalty to friendship made him not go to the opposite side of Huo'er, but regarded Huo'er's enemies as his enemies, and had grudges against Zhao Shili, Yang Xu, Pei Feiluan, etc., but during the period when he broke his leg, he felt that there was no hope of revenge, so he was confused and depressed every day.
After that, Dongfang Yuan's olive branch made him see the hope of contributing to Huo'er. Imagine the "Four Friends of Wenyuan", Lu You's fame moves the world, and there are countless people who admire his Wenhua, and he feels that it is difficult to compare; Yan Huo'er has strong martial arts, generous shots, and is a righteous hero, and his reputation is also spread all over the south of the Yangtze River; Even Wen Shiyong, who had the lowest sense of existence, was firmly above himself back then. Wen Ruoyan only felt ashamed and abnormal, and was not worthy of being one of the "Four Friends of Wenyuan", so he was inspired to do an earth-shattering career to prove the value of his existence and the same strength as friends with the other three people. Since Dongfang Yuan took the initiative to send it to the door, why not lurk by his side and wait for the Demon Legion to show his skills when it goes north?
He has been dormant for more than ten years, and finally waited for this day. At the beginning of October, when the Central Army of the Southern Army arrived in Runan, he quietly sent a letter to Huo'er, who did not believe it at first, but after Yan Yunxing's confirmation, he contacted him, and thus started the winning streak of the Southern Army.
Yan Yunxing's trust in Wen Ruoyan was completely free of reason and concerns in Huo'er's opinion, and he was secretive when asked, as if he knew Wen Ruoyan well and concluded that he would not betray the Southern Army. From the fact that it is connected with Xiao Green, it can be seen one or two. Each of the Seven Holy Veterans has a heavy responsibility, Xiao Lu is to Wen Ruoyan, just as the Eight Eyes are in the left and middle two ways, the clown is in the right middle two ways, the little leg is in Yao, the Southern Scout Legion, Xiao Hong is in Yan Lengfeng, and Xiao Xi is in the washing of Jinghong, which shows how much Yan Yunxing attaches importance to it.
Huo'er was very puzzled by this, but he could only follow the order, and used Xiaolu to exchange news with Wen Ruoyan without mentioning it. As for the last Holy Worm Patriarch Da Hei, the mysterious person it conveyed the news was naturally an old friend who went deep into the enemy camp - Mi San Gongzi.
……
On October 15, the bright moon hangs high.
For various reasons, the Central Army of the Northern Army was forced to retreat to the north of Xuchang, Xinzheng. The Chinese army camp was stationed outside Xinzheng City, and inside the city, Mi Hua finally started the first journey to find people.
As Li Yuhou, through dozens of days of secret investigation, he learned a name that was very similar to "Nufeilou", Gongsun Mirage of Xiangwangfu.
Recalling the past of Guyan Mountain half a year ago and Wan Linglong's story of seizing the treasure of the thirteen tombs forty-four years ago, Mi Hua couldn't help but associate the Gongsun Mirage with Gongsun Wuhua and Gongsun Wuguo. "No flowers and no fruits, mirages are not buildings", including Sun Wuya, Wang Shifei's "endless right and wrong", and the names of famous disciples are all full of famous dialectical style. It can be inferred from this that the "female non-building" in the note should be Gongsun Feilou's sister-Gongsun Feilou.
According to this clue to investigate, Mi Hua quickly learned the identity of Gongsun Mirage, he is not very mysterious, as soon as he asked the soldiers of Xiangwangfu, he knew that in addition to being Sun Wuya's eldest disciple, he was also the son of Gongsun Wuguo, and he belonged to the famous forces of Xiangwangfu, and he had always been loyal to Zhao Wuji, and it was almost impossible to persuade him to surrender.
Of course, Mi Hua does not have illusions about Gongsun Mirage, since the people of Nanshan Dao have a holy oracle, only Gongsun Feilou can be used by the master among the descendants of the famous family, so he should mainly look for Gongsun Feilou. Knowing her brother is just to find her more quickly, convey her ancestor's oracle, and let her do something as soon as possible to help the Southern army win this battle.
For this reason, Mi Hua "fought to the death" on the way to the defeat of the Northern Army to Xinzheng, completely erased Li Yuhou's false identity, and successfully infiltrated the government soldiers with the new identity of Zhao Jiu, a soldier of the Xiangwang Mansion.
Late at night, the whole army of the Northern Army rested peacefully. Zhao Baihe, the commander of the government soldiers, was addicted to alcohol, and it was really difficult to sleep, so he finally made up his mind after tossing and turning several times, and quietly woke up his henchmen, Zhao Jiu and Zhao Shangen, and went out of the camp together, and went to the tavern in Xinzheng City to drink and satisfy their hunger.
There was nothing to say all the way, the three of them entered a tavern, and saw that several of the leaders and Yu Hou in front of the palace were also drinking, and the two sides smiled heartily and did not disturb each other, and the three of them walked straight to the second floor under the leadership of the shopkeeper.
The Northern Army was defeated and retreated, and a good hand was played by Zao Wou-Ki. It was difficult for the officers and men of the Northern Army not to question Zao Wou-ki's united front ability, and most of them complained, so that they did not obey the commander's order, and the "prohibition of alcohol" eventually became a dead letter. Zao Wou-Ki turned a blind eye to this, and seemed to have completely abandoned the majesty of being a marshal, and it was only the government soldiers and the palace soldiers who dared to drink late at night to relieve fatigue; the second v. toil; 3. complained about Zao Wou-ki's incompetence; Fourth, talk about the depression of defeat.
Zhao Jiu'er heard Zhao Baihe complaining drunk, and he echoed it again and again, but he said in his heart that he couldn't keep entangled on this topic, but he couldn't help mentioning Gongsun Mirage, which would inevitably arouse the suspicion of the two, so it was better to start with Sun Wuya on this topic.
Zhao Jiu respected Zhao Bai with a glass of wine, drank a full glass of wine, shook his head and sighed: "Alas, if the military division is still here, why is my Northern Army here!" ”
"yes!" Zhao Shangen also sighed, "With the wisdom of the famous military division, he will definitely be able to destroy the Southern Army in one fell swoop, but it is a pity that his old man was forced to hide, which is really bad news for my Xiangwang Mansion!" ”
Zhao Jiu took another sip of cold wine, sighed, lowered his head and was silent. After a while, he suddenly raised his head and asked, "There are many disciples under the military master's sect, is there no one who can inherit the mantle?" ”
"Heh......" Zhao Baihe sneered with drunken eyes, "Yes, there are ten disciples under the military master, but which one do you think is worthy of the big responsibility?" Wang Zhengfei or Zhao Jien? It's nothing more than learning some famous martial arts, and being reckless and majestic on weekdays, really letting them give advice and plan for war, heh! One by one, they have become shrunken turtles......"
"Shh Zhao Jiu hurriedly stopped the topic and hurriedly persuaded: "Adults still need to be careful, you must know that disaster comes from the mouth!" ”
"Cut!" When Zhao Baihe heard this, not only did he not restrain himself in the slightest, but intensified his efforts, and reprimanded angrily: "I'm afraid of him!" He Wang is the elder of the Hayang Gate, Zhao Jien is the owner of the Praetorian Guard, and the labor and management are the commanders of the Xiangwang Mansion, all of them are of the same level, how can they not be said? ”
"That's ......," Zhao Shangen echoed with a sneer, but Zhao Jiu frowned and didn't speak.
Seeing this, Zhao Baihe put down his wine glass and asked, "Xiao Jiu, what's wrong with you today?" How to maintain Wang's rice bucket? ”
Zhao Jiu sighed and shook his head: "It's not his subordinates who defend him, the current situation is so tense, and his subordinates are afraid that your lordship will lose your words after drinking, and it will not be good to cause the prince to be disgusted." ”
Ren Zhao Baihe is rampant, when he hears the word "prince", he can't help but tremble as if he was walking on thin ice, although everyone complains about his incompetence, but if it really reaches his ears, I am afraid that his life will not be guaranteed!
"What you're saying is that I've drunk too much, and I can't take my drunken words seriously. The soldiers of our government are very united with the Hagiyang Gate and the Praetorian Guard, and they are in harmony...... "Zhao Baihe has changed his tone, and he has more trust in Zhao Jiu in his heart.
The three of them drank for a while, and their voices were much quieter, and the topic always revolved around Sun Wuya under Zhao Jiu's quiet guidance, only to hear Zhao Jiu ask: "But I don't know what the ability of Gongsun Mirage, the senior disciple of the military master, is?" ”
"The ability is there, but ......" Zhao Baihe said this, glanced at Zhao Shangen, pointed to the empty wine jar and said: "You go and get two more jars of wine, and ask Xiao Er to ask for the best fifty-year-old daughter Hong, it's not that I haven't drunk it for fifty years, and I didn't go to buy it elsewhere in the store." ”
This is obviously Zhao Baihe deliberately supporting Zhao Shangen, Zhao Shangen is jealous of Zhao Jiu's favor, but it is not good to exert power in front of the commander, so he can only obediently go out to buy wine.
Zhao Baihe heard Zhao Shangen's footsteps getting farther and farther away, and then said to Zhao Jiu with a serious expression: "The story I am talking about next is the secret of the palace, don't mention it to outsiders, once it is leaked, be careful of your head!" ”
"Thanks to the love of adults, even if the little ones don't care about their lives, they can't live up to the trust of adults, how dare they talk nonsense to the outside world?" Zhao Jiu said very respectfully, "Tonight's news, the small one will rot in the stomach, and it will be brought to the grave until death......"
"Eh, you don't have to ......be like this," Zhao Baihe waved his hand and said, "It's just for your life that I advise you not to leak the news." ”
"The little ones know." Zhao Jiu showed gratitude on his face and toasted Zhao Bai with a glass.
Zhao Bai drank with a glass of wine, wiped his mouth, and then slowly talked about the story of Gongsun Mirage.
It is said that forty-four years ago, Zhao Tuo, the king of Xiang, seized the treasure to no avail, and a year later suddenly went crazy and threw himself into the well and died. But people don't know why Zhao Tuo went crazy, just because of the failure to capture the treasure, it is not enough, so there must be a more secret reason for him to lose confidence and expectation in the future, and he is desperate and crazy.
The secret reason for this is that he will not be able to have children for the rest of his life.
This also has to talk about the accident that occurred in the demon position of Mercury Town in the Qixing Five Elements Array before, when the famous traitor Gongsun Wuhua did not leave, but lurked in the shadows and kept an eye on Zhao Tuo at all times, he thought to himself that if he could kill Zhao Tuo, then Gongsun would lose his reliance, and he would definitely stay away from Xiangwangfu and return to the right path. Therefore, when Zhao Tuo stepped on the third order, Gongsun Wuhua directly used a hidden weapon to kill him, but at this moment, Rodin suddenly blocked all the hidden weapons, causing Gongsun Wuhua to be exposed.
Gongsun Wuhua saw that the matter had been revealed, and fled in a hurry, and in a panic he was stepping into a demon star position, although this magic star position was a mechanism star position, but it was suffered elsewhere, but unfortunately the unlucky ghost was Zhao Tuo, and a touch of purple mercury erupted instantly! Fortunately, Rodan took Zhao Tuo to fly away from the star position at his feet early in the morning, but the magic star position was extremely dangerous, and the purple mercury still touched the hem of Zhao Tuo's lower body, and when Rodan tore his clothes in mid-air, the purple mercury had dissolved into his lower body, and Rodan could only put his heart horizontally, and he didn't even have time to say "offended", and stabbed Zhao Tuo's lower body with a shot, cutting off half of it, which saved his life, but he was also unable to have children for life.
Without a divine armor, no divine pill, and no heirs in the future, how could Zhao Tuo not be crazy? A year later, Princess Zhan Ning gave birth to a son, who was Zao Wou-ki, but where did she come from?
Zhao Tuo hated Gongsun Wuhua because of this, but he couldn't catch him, so he could only implicate the crippled Gongsun Wuhua. He ordered Sun Wuya to imprison him, and when he was about to torture him, he went crazy and threw himself into the well first.
Since then, Zao Wou-Ki has grown up and is familiar with personnel, and he also hates Gongsun Wuguo, if it is not his brother, how can his adoptive father suspect that he is not his own child? How could they have thrown themselves into a well and died? How happy is it for a happy family? The son of King Xiang, Zhao Wuji, how upright?
Zao Wou-Ki grew up surrounded by gossip, which created his dark character. When he became an adult, he felt that Gongsun Wuguo could not be easily given death, but wanted to torture him fiercely, and even overthrew his famous sect member Li Bai Jian. Therefore, he released it first and let Sun Wuya make a deal with him, promising to heal his crippled legs, at the cost of the Nine Turns Xuangong Pill and the exercises of the Bai Jian Sect - "White Horse Secret Technique"!
Gongsun Wuguo only exchanged the same value, readily agreed, and handed over his children to Sun Wuya's care, and then went to Baiyue to heal his legs, and Sun Wuya quickly cultivated to the top of the exercises with the help of the divine pill, and then failed to find a way to turn into an immortal and became a reincarnation.
Gongsun Wuhua disappeared, and Gongsun Wuguo completely lost the title of the famous leader of the Baijian faction due to the leakage of exercises, but Zao Wou-Ki believes that the value of Gongsun Wuguo has not been completely drained. In the battle of the Five Poison Mountains, he took advantage of Tang Nianyu's failure to vent his hatred to Gongsun Wuguo, and ordered him to cut off his left hand, Gongsun Wuguo only realized at this time that Zhao Wuji was really black-hearted, showing kindness on the surface, but in fact, he was suppressed and tortured everywhere, and the Xiangwang Mansion, which had served him all his life, treated him so badly that his belief collapsed instantly, and he died of depression soon after.
Gongsun Wuguo's death did not allow Zao Wou-Ki to be completely relieved, and he shifted the object of hatred to Gongsun Wuguo's children, that is, Sun Wuya's eldest disciple Gongsun Mirage and second disciple Gongsun Feilou.
