Chapter 43: Men and Women Love
Recommended: Witch Doctor Awakening.
But sometimes people have to obey the old, although Zheng Guan has been shocked in time to realize that he was fooled and hurriedly dodged sideways, and retracted to resist, but he still inevitably ate the shot.
At that moment, the cold tiger head gun pierced Zheng Guan's shoulder, and with Lu Ziyu's roar, Zheng Guan's left arm ...... Straight off his body.
The gushing blood splashed Zheng Guan's face, and the unbearable pain and the impact of the sky-high anger made Zheng Guan roar as hard as he could, and the subordinates behind Zheng Guan immediately rushed towards Zheng Guan when they saw this, and once the commander was killed, their entire army would collapse in an instant.
At the same time, the Beiping army behind Lu Ziyu also rushed up, and they all wanted to kill this villain who killed the monarch and rebelled and slaughtered the people.
But Zheng Guan is not stupid, after a moment of trance, he immediately held the reins with one hand and fled away from the horse, he still hasn't changed at all, his life is the most important thing at all times.
Although the swarming enemy forces temporarily prevented Lu Ziyu and the Beiping army from continuing to pursue Zheng Guan, they were only able to cover Zheng Guan's retreat, and could not change the fact that they had been defeated at this moment.
On the other hand, after encountering the troops sent by Zheng Guan to the outside of the city, the tiger-headed cavalry led by Zhang Benyuan immediately raised their guns and stabbed them without saying a word, and in the southern suburbs of Yunzhou City, the army of up to tens of thousands of people was blurred by the flesh and blood of the 8,000 cavalry, and they could not form an army.
Those who had been killed and scattered retreated back into the city from outside the city, informing them that the road south of Zheng Guan had been blocked.
"The marshal...... Dianshuai, you can't go south, the tiger head cavalry of the Beiping army is waiting in the south, and it's a dead end if you go. The wounded general rolled off his horse, his blood dipped in the snow and dirt on the ground, looking extremely dirty and messy.
Zheng Guan did not make a sound after listening to the words of the defeated general, at this moment he had already dismounted, and the military doctor on the side was treating the shocking wound for him, the former high-spirited Supreme Commander of the Royal Forest Army was leaving an arm at this time, he took off the gold hood on the top of his head, revealing a white hair mixed with a little green silk, looking weak and decadent.
But what really made him feel powerless and worried was not the loss of an arm, nor the defeat under Lu Ziyu's hands, but the fate after he returned to Beijing.
He knew very well that Mu Zhixun was ruthless, for his own ambition and revenge, he could kill the king and usurp the throne, and afterwards ordered to bury alive all the people who participated in the forced palace that night, and forcibly recruited strong men across the country, causing the people to be ruined and killed.
The construction of the Nine Heavens, in order to transport rare stones and trees from the south to Yunjing, the bridge was demolished, and the city was destroyed, and the life and death of the people were worthless in the eyes of Mu Zhixun.
In order to posthumously crown the Tang family as the queen mother, he forced Yang Tiandong to death, a generation of famous ministers, and the first assistant of the Three Dynasties was drowned alive by the spittle stars of the world's scholars.
And what Mu Zhixun did, Zheng Guan was not only a witness, but also an actual participant, forcing the palace to kill the king, burying his subordinates alive, and forcibly recruiting Ding, almost all the dirty work was done by him.
Zheng Guan clearly knew that he had been scolded more than Mu Zhixun, perhaps it was the blow of failure that made him sober up, and it was not until this moment that he seemed to really understand Mu Zhixun's intentions.
In fact, for the current Mu Zhixun, compared to Lu Ziyu in the north, Mu Zhice in Zezhou is the real big trouble, although Mu Zhixun has put the hat of killing the monarch on Mu Zhice's head, but with the passage of time, the people have a lot of guesses about what happened in the North and South Palace on the night before the 30th anniversary of Chengping, there is no impermeable wall in the world, which naturally has the version closest to the truth, and for the people in the east, Luo Wenzhao's words are far more credible than those so-called holy decrees, and Yan Bohou, who has been diligent and loving the people all these years, is the most trustworthy person in their hearts.
Therefore, Mu Zhice, who has the status of the former prince and the royal family, and has the support of the people and the support of the Jing Navy, is the most important target for Mu Zhixun to eliminate at the moment, but he just let go of Mu Zhice, and let Zheng Guan, who is already over fifty years old, go all the way to the north to compete with Lu Ziyu for the seven northern states that are currently insignificant.
Thinking of this, a meaningful wry smile appeared on the corner of Zheng Guan's mouth, whether Mu Zhixun wants to deal with Lu Ziyu or deal with him Zheng Guan, I'm afraid he wants to deal with both.
Lu Ziyu seized the northern border to fight against the imperial court, if he could be eliminated, it would naturally be a good thing for Mu Zhixun, if Zheng Guan was defeated by Lu Ziyu, then Mu Zhixun would be able to justifiably cure Zheng Guan's crimes.
As for how Mu Zhixun treated Zheng Guan's crimes, Zheng Guan didn't need to think about it to know, just take the fact that he had conspired with Hua Chenghei to kill him 10,000 times.
Zheng Guan is not the kind of person who sits back and waits to be killed.
In the dark night, the one-sided war in Yunzhou City did not last long, but the soldiers of the Beiping Army were busy until dawn in order to bury the bodies of the people of Yunzhou, and there were heart-wrenching cries from time to time in the crowd, because some of the dead people were their relatives.
In the city of Tongzhou, the simple wedding room is no different from other farmhouses except for a few more big red candles and a few red characters, on the bed, Dong Xiaohua, who is full of affection, holds scissors and cuts the candles of the red candles over and over again, sometimes leaning his head slightly, sometimes looking sideways and thinking for a long time, and the happy and longing look looks like he should have thought a lot......
The morning fog enveloped the entire northern realm, and walking in it, he could only look forward to a distance of four or five steps, and the chaotic heaven and earth were still bloody except blood.
"Lord Wang, the army outside the city has been annihilated by the last general." Zhang Benyuan came to Lu Ziyu in the thick fog, his face and armor were covered with blood stains after the battle.
"Zheng Guan was caught?!" Lu Ziyu hurriedly turned around and asked, after the battle was over, he sent several waves of troops to the south to pursue Zheng Guan, but no one found Zheng Guan's traces.
“…… No. Zhang Benyuan shook his head, "Could it be that Zheng Guan Lao'er has died in the chaos." ”
"Impossible." Lu Ziyu denied Zhang Benyuan's speculation, "The corpses in the city have all been examined, and I can recognize the old thief even if he turned to ashes." ”
"In the end...... Where will it go? Lu Ziyu frowned slightly, he lowered his head and straightened his cuffs, but inadvertently caught a glimpse of the red undershirt under his own shirt, which was the wedding dress he had not had time to change out of yesterday's wedding, and his surprised eyes hesitated for a moment on the bright red cuffs, and he blurted out, "Not good!" ”
It is normal for the light cavalry sent by Lu Ziyu to the south to pursue Zheng Guan not to find Zheng Guan, because Zheng Guan did not flee to the south at all, and he clearly knows what will happen to him once he leads these remnants of the defeated army back to Beijing.
So he led tens of thousands of remnants to the north, and that direction should be ...... Tongzhou City.
At this moment, Zheng Guan, who had lost his left arm, was sitting on horseback and pulling the reins with one hand, and his cloudy yellow eyes were full of incomprehensible complexity.
"I heard...... Lu Ziyu just got married in Yunzhou? Zheng Guan opened his mouth expressionlessly, and he seemed to sneer when he said this.
"Yes, it seems that he is still a dumb person, and the people of several nearby state capitals have come there to drink happy wine." The attendants on the side hurriedly chimed in, they were very worried that their palace marshal would do something unreasonable and crazy after losing his arm.
"It must have been a lively scene." Zheng Guan raised his head thoughtfully and looked into the distance.
"Yes, I heard that Lu Ziyu likes that girl very much." The attendant said hehehe, his expression was completely like a person who was outside the excitement.
"I like that girl very much." Zheng Guan repeated the attendant's words, and then asked meaningfully, "Like it very much?" Loved it...... How much do you like it? ”
"This ...... Little I don't know" The waiter's expression was slightly stunned, and he didn't know how to answer Zheng Guan's inexplicable rhetorical question for a while.
"Hahahaha." Zheng Guan suddenly laughed, he shook his head slightly and said gloomily: "It's just the love of men and women, the love of men in this world has never been as deep as the love of women, Lu Ziyu ...... I hope you will surprise me this time. ……
After Zheng Guan said this sentence to himself, he whipped the horse under his crotch with a whip with one hand, and the horse and the army behind him immediately accelerated their pace, but the hatred on Zheng Guan's expression was clearly not the kind of resentment that should be after encountering setbacks, but a kind of hatred mixed with remorse, unwillingness, and even guilt.
Once upon a time, he was still firm that he was a long-term man, at least he was like this to Chunlan.
In the second year of his tenure as the former secretary of the palace, that is, in the second year of his promotion to the former secretary of the palace, he met Chunlan. As her name suggests, she is a woman as bright as an orchid, a woman that Zheng Guan can never forget after just looking at it.
It's a pity that her appearance in Zheng Guan's mind is forever fixed in the summer of the nineteenth year of Chengping.
In the sixth year of Chengping, Zheng Guan was just twenty and five, and he carried out the emperor's order, hanging a double gong on his waist, wearing a corset of splendid red robes and beating horses on the royal street, and his posture was full of Beijing.
At that time, there was a popular saying among the women in the capital: "I don't want to hide the golden house in this life, but I ask Yu Hou to look back." ”
The "Yu Hou" here refers to Zheng Guan when he was young, and for the young woman at that time, if she could win Zheng Guan's look back, it would be a happier thing than the royal gold house Zangjiao.
And Chunlan was the woman who almost envied all the Yunjing ladies back then.
A man dressed as a woman slipped out of the mansion, and secretly ran to play on the royal street, but she was targeted by thieves who were eyeing the jade pendant she hung on her waist, and when she was not paying attention, a brisk step swept past her, and pulled off the jade pendant on her waist, and the sudden collision made her lose her center of gravity......
But just when she thought she was going to fall to the ground in embarrassment, a powerful arm suddenly wrapped around her waist, and she lay down in Zheng Guan's arms like that, half-leaning over, and the head used to disguise herself as a man also fell to the ground, and her long hair as beautiful as ink fell out, and she was lying in Zheng Guan's arms and lost her mind like a fairy, and she was in a trance Zheng Guan's ...... Throughout the fall.
One is the daughter of the capital, and the other is the talented eunuch who is full of Jinghua, on the day of the wedding, Jingzong personally inscribed for them, "talented and beautiful"
Presumably, this should be the most beautiful look of love in that era, but I pity the Yunjing ladies who cried that day.
You and I have a lot of love, and the love is as hot as fire in many places.
The days after marriage, as they imagined, were full of sweetness and joy, and this sweetness and joy even made Zheng Guan let go of the gloom and gloom that had been buried deep in his heart.
"Husband, what will you eat when you come back at night?"
"Hey, anything."
"Is Yunzi rice good? This is something that the concubine has just learned. ”
"Okay, as long as it's made by my Chunlan, I like to eat it."
This is the early morning of one day in the summer of the nineteenth year of Chengping, Zheng Guan left home in the morning to go to the front of the palace to be on duty with Chunlan, which was no different from weekdays.
But when he came home with the roast goose he bought on the street at night, he happily shouted Chunlan's name several times, but no one answered.
"Where's Madame?" He asked the maid in a panic.
"It should be in the house, the slave maid saw the lady enter the house with the prepared meal, and never came out."
He hurriedly pushed open the door of the back room and walked in, greeted by the smell of fragrant food, but the room was empty, and his eyes were attracted by an abrupt envelope on the table.
He grabbed the letter, but the contents of the letter shocked him, and the roast goose in his hand fell to the ground, and after a long time, he sat down on the ground, and made a strange whimpering sound, sounding desperate and helpless.
"After the matter is completed, divide the world equally, if you don't follow it, you will be talented and beautiful, and heaven and man will be separated." This is the last sentence of the letter, and the name of the check-in is written...... Flower heirs.
It turns out that Hua Chengsi found the right person, Zheng Guan agreed to Hua Chengsi's request in his heart almost the moment he finished reading the letter, he took a pen and paper like crazy, and began to write a letter to Hua Chengsi, for him, nothing is as important as Chunlan.
At night, he sneaked out of the house and put the letter in the place where Hua Chengji and him agreed, and at this time he was full of thoughts that Chunlan would return safely.
At this time, he was only the commander of the deputy commander of the front division of the palace, and he almost exhausted all his strength, mobilized all the royal forest troops he could mobilize, and only waited for the day when the ancestors in the suburbs of Beijing came.
But he never thought that Jingzong would suddenly have a headache that day, and the annual ancestor worship in the suburbs of Beijing would be like this without warning...... Canceled.
The panicked Zheng Guan hurriedly wrote a letter to inform Hua Chengji of this incident, he was almost begging Hua Chengsi to give him another chance in a begging tone, he only begged Hua Chengji not to hurt his wife, no matter what, he couldn't let Chunlan have trouble.
Chunlan was more important to Zheng Guan at that time than anything else, at least until Hua Chengji replied to him, he thought so.
