Chapter 5: A Misunderstanding?
Cao Zhi got up slowly, and through the gap set off by Dugu Yunli, he recognized at a glance that the man inside was not Dugu Longshan.
He snickered, sighed, shook his head, stretched his brows and walked towards Ning Ming, grabbed Ning Ming's shoulders by the way, and walked out of the door together to stand on the porch and wait.
The servant wanted to step forward, but was called out by Cao Zhi from outside.
"Do you want to take care of the family's affairs?"
The servant did not know what was going on, and he did not know what to do.
"Stay at the door." Cao Zhi arranged this like a veteran, and the servant was puzzled, and was shocked by the words of this order, and turned around and went back to his porter with a "hey".
The servant bowed his head and waist, and as soon as he reached the door, he crashed into Yuan San's arms.
"Where are they?" Yuan San looked at the two people on the corridor in the courtyard, and locked on to the target the moment he asked.
"That's them, that's them!" Yuyan jumped out from behind and pointed at Ning Cao and the others, his face was full of hideousness, and he hated to use his blade.
He leaned behind Yuan San, instinctively shrinking his head and brain. The moment they approached the two, they immediately jumped out, gave up their position, and shouted at the guards behind: "It's them!" Get them! ”
Ning Ming Cao Zhi is not stupid, how could he be caught by them while standing, the two of them retreated into the room, and one of them closed the door from the inside.
Ning Ming turned his back to the door and asked Dugu Yunli what he meant.
And Cao Zhi turned Dugu Yun away from the army, pulled Ning Ming, who was blocking the door, and let Yuan San outside knock the door open.
"Get out!"
Yuan San's foot had just stretched over the threshold, and before he could land, he was drunk out by Mrs. Yuhua.
"Auntie, don't be afraid! There I am! Yuyan didn't know the situation, and he wanted to come forward to make a good impression.
"Get out! All out! All out! Go out with your soldiers! ”
Mrs. Yuhua was hysterical, and no one moved inside or outside the house.
Dugu Yunli, who has accepted reality, seems to have suddenly grown a lot taller. She straightened her waist, bent her neck, and walked from one side to the middle of the hall with a blank face.
"Let's all go back, a misunderstanding, annoying the right general."
After Dugu Yunli finished speaking, he continued with the void darkness outside the door: "Come with me." ”
Yuan San retreated from the East Chamber, but did not leave the palace in case something happened.
Dugu Yunli didn't want to say a word at this time, let alone find a way to deal with Ning Cao and the others.
Although Dugu Longshan is already dying, he is deaf and clear-sighted, and his sleep is even worse after he collapses in bed, and he will wake up as soon as there is a disturbance.
Dugu Yunli felt that Dugu Longshan was afraid that he wouldn't be able to get up if he fell asleep, so he always had a nervous tense.
But such an idea is sad just thinking about it, but I don't dare to say it to Dugu Longshan.
Dugu Yunli didn't need to ask to know that Yuan San led a team of people from the front hall through the corridor to the east wing of the backyard, which had already alarmed his father.
I can't hide it, so it's better to take them to meet them in person, so I can completely die.
Dugu Yunli walked into the main room to sleep, raised his hand and lifted the heavy black cloth curtain, and there was a heat wave mixed with a strong smell of medicine.
Dugu Longshan is afraid of the cold, and there is still a stove in Xia Jiu's house. At this time, he was lying flat on the bed, his face was black, and his lips were pale.
Dugu Yunli stepped forward quickly, put one leg on the side of the bed, and held Dugu Longshan's back with both hands to let him lean up.
The gray hair is loose, and the hair cannot be hairpinned.
Dugu Longshan sat up and continued to gasp for breath, and after a while, he gradually calmed down, he closed his eyes and waved his hand to the servant, and the servant retreated.
Ning Cao and the others obviously didn't expect such a scene, and they didn't know how to speak for a while. The two looked at each other, and they couldn't say a word for a long time.
Dugu Longshan reluctantly rolled his eyes to glance at the two of them, signaling that they would say something if they had something to say. At the same time, Dugu Yunli glanced at Ning Ming and nodded at him.
"I heard that my uncle was sick for a long time, but I didn't know that it was so serious, but I had to do it, and I asked my uncle to save Langle and Liangzhou." Ning Ming frowned as he spoke, grabbing his wet eyes.
"A month ago, my father sent many letters to Yunzhou, but for some reason they couldn't be delivered to the house."
Ning Ming paused, took out a soft cowhide from his arms, held it in both hands, handed it to Dugu Yunli, took two steps back, and continued to stand in the same position as Cao Zhi.
Dugu Yunli unfolded the cowhide, and when he looked up, he saw the three vermilion characters of "Jiang Wang Zhu".
"This is obtained from Gu Mosheng's army, and it is absolutely reliable. Previously, my father couldn't believe it when he saw it, the four of you have done your best all your life, but you have been betrayed when you are old. This is also the reason why my father rebelled, not because we wanted to rebel, but because we had no way to live. ”
Cao Zhi had read and gone to school, and he spoke more than his father Cao Ergou, but he still couldn't change the essence behind the language.
Dugu Longshan shook his head at Dugu Yunli, and neither father nor daughter made a sound.
"Lezhou has been lost, Gu Mosheng led his troops to entrench in Xiye at this time, only defending but not attacking, I don't know what it means. My father has sent me with a letter in his own handwriting, which you can give to your uncle. ”
Ning Ming took out a letter from his arms again, took two steps forward, and when he was about to hand it to Dugu Yunli, he took it back, opened the envelope, took out the letter paper, opened it and handed it to Dugu Yunli.
Dugu Yunli took the letter and just read the sentence "Brother Longshan", Dugu Longshan has already swept the words "Raise things together" and "Promote the eldest brother as the emperor".
Dugu Longshan's face suddenly turned red, and he suddenly raised his hand to pull the letter paper and threw it into the carbon basin on the side of the bed.
Unexpectedly, the letter burned to ashes in an instant.
"Uncle, what are you?" Ning Ming panicked.
"Let's go."
Dugu Longshan barely said two words, almost using all his strength.
"My uncle has been ill for a long time, and I don't know what he has become today. The three princes are nominally Tongzhou, but in fact they were sent by the imperial court to exterminate us! The famine was a small disaster, but they hypocritically created a plan to save the west from the east, which is to empty us! Ning Ming was angry.
Dugu Longshan's hands trembled, but a mouthful of phlegm was blocked in his throat, even coughing and wheezing, and he had a seizure, and he couldn't say a whole sentence.
"They are hypocritical, are you sincere? Naturally, you can not accept the plan of the imperial court, and it will not be you who will starve to death anyway. ”
Dugu Yunli took Ning Ming's words.
"Sister Yunli, do you think they are sincere in disaster relief? If they were sincere about the disaster, they would have taken out food and money immediately, instead of coming up with a plan in exchange! ”
"So you rebelled? Obviously there is a famine, money and food are not enough, and it is ridiculous to have this kind of martial arts bravery! ”
"You!" Cao Zhi on the side finally understood that the king of Yunzhou was in Cao Ying's heart in Han, and he had already "rebelled".
Ning Ming saw Cao Zhi reach out to his waist and hold the hilt of the soft sword at his waist, and immediately held Cao Zhi down. continued to make a final lobby to Dugu Longshan: "Uncle thinks that if the two states of Langle are defeated, will Yunzhou still be safe and sound?" ”
Dugu Yunli was about to refute, but saw hesitation in his father's eyes.
"Gu Mosheng was ordered to rebel, but at this time, he only defended Langzhou and did not attack, why? Could it be that he is trying to give Langzhou a chance? ”
Ning Ming saw that there was no obstruction, let go and continued: "Langzhou is small, it is also in a disaster year, and the defeat has been decided, does he still need to wait?" ”
Dugu Yunli had already expected Ning Ming's next words: "You want to say that he is waiting for Yunzhou." ”
"Yes!" Ning Ming was a little excited: "It's not that he's waiting, it's the court waiting, it's the emperor waiting." They used this shady trick to tear up the original Danshu Alliance, and at this time they also wanted the four generals to be infamous for being ungrateful, they wanted to cross the river and tear down the bridge, and succeed! ”
Ning Ming took two steps forward and knelt beside the bed of Dugu Longshan: "Uncle, this is not something you can hide if you want to, he will not let go of you generals who fight the world with him and divide his world!" ”
Dugu Longshan closed his eyes and was silent, never speaking again. Ning Ming saw that there was no way, he could say everything he could, and he couldn't get the support of Dugu Longshan, so he had no choice but to get up and say goodbye.
Dugu Yunli breathed a sigh of relief, raised his legs and stood up, slowly lowered Dugu Longshan's back, and lifted his head when he was about to put it down.
A bright light dazzled her eyes, and then there was a "bang". A long sword suddenly stabbed out from under her armpit, heading straight for Dugu Longshan's neck.
