Chapter 21: Liangzhou Fights
"Ah Heng", Zhou Yan looked at Sikong Heng, a trace of sentimentality flashed in his eyes, and he held his hand and persuaded:
"You must also take care of yourself, don't be too sad. The bodies of Lord Rui and Mrs. Zheng, I have sent someone to find them. In the temples and rivers and lakes, there are always many helpless. At that time, my father died tragically under the command of the first emperor's generals, but the Eastern Wu perished, and I still submitted to Jin Song. ”
Sikong Heng smiled lightly: "I understand, you have to bother, but the corpse of my father's family, let it go." ”
Zhou Yan was slightly startled, then gasped, clenched Sikong Heng's hand and said, "You don't have to be too stressed. You hate Yu Wannian and Sikong Dong, and you hold your breath in your heart, but don't be too decisive. I have sent a letter to Kyoto, to clarify the situation in Liangzhou, and to hand over the deeds and letters exchanged between Sikong Dong and Yu Wannian. The chaos in Liangzhou has subsided, you have merit and he is guilty, I don't believe that the court will not have clear rewards and punishments. ”
"You can't get too hopeful", Sikong Heng laughed sadly, "The new emperor of Kyoto has just ascended the throne, he is dull and weak, although King Ning is honest and clear, but the power in Kyoto is still in the hands of the Yang and Lu families. Now, Mrs. Yang and Queen Lu are fighting fiercely, and Sikong Dong is Queen Lu's person, who knows what the outcome will be when Sikong Dong enters Beijing this time? ”
"But Lord Yi supports you", Zhou Yu still held Sikong Heng, "The two families of Lu and Yang are equally divided, and if Queen Lu wants to gain a firm foothold, she naturally needs the support and assistance of the royal family in various states." Behind the prince Yi, there are several princes of Xuan, Cong, Jue, and Yu who are connected to each other, many of whom are closely related to Kyoto, and they will affect the whole body, and Queen Lu will not ignore it. ”
"I hope it will be as you and I wish." Sikong Heng still smiled lightly.
"I will do it." Zhou figurines looked firmly into his eyes.
"That's right", Mu Yu's thoughts were still stuck on Yang Qi's matter, and he finally reacted at this moment, and looked at Sikong Heng in surprise, "You want to rule Liangzhou instead of Sikong Dong?!" Your family is in Langya, you killed Sikong Dong and took revenge, why don't you go back to Langya? ”
"It's not that I want to stay in Liangzhou, but I can only stay in Liangzhou." Zhou Warriors snatched before Sikong Heng spoke, "When Ah Heng led people to leave Langya, Jianghuai Jiedu made Chen Min take the opportunity to rebel and occupy the Langya Palace; Now, Langya can't go back. ”
"What did you say?" Mu Yu was stunned for a moment, then looked at Sikong Heng, and couldn't help but gasp.
Losing loved ones, losing their homes, and being alone in the world, it turns out that there are people who can live so calmly.
After that, Mu Mo never asked Sikong Heng's motive for occupying Liangzhou. Even if he is careless, Mu Mo gradually understands that not only what is written on his face is called sadness, and not all sadness must be resolved with anger.
Because Kyoto has not yet given an order, Sikong Dong has not yet made a ruling, and Mu Mo still does not dare to go out of Sikong Heng's tent.
Zhou Warriors sometimes came to the tent to drink tea and chat with her, Sikong Heng occasionally painted, taught her to recognize two words, and the days were as quiet as the white shallot valley in the past; But Mu Mo knew in his heart what kind of magnificent struggle was hidden under the seemingly calm situation.
If it is true that as Zhou Warriors and Sikong Heng said, the situation in Liangzhou involves many battles in Luoyang, Kyoto, then what kind of reward will Sikong Heng get if the matter of Yu Wannian is reported to Kyoto? What kind of punishment will Sikong Dong get?
Three days later, news came from Kyoto that Sikong Dong was ineffective in suppressing the rebellion of the displaced people during the military period of Liangzhou, and ordered him to step down as the governor of Liangzhou and return to Luoyang, Kyoto, to standby; Sikong Heng transferred troops to Qinzhou to assist the Zhou Warriors to quell the rebellion in Liangzhou, and was meritorious, and ordered the capital to supervise the military of Liangzhou. The fiefdom of Jiangzuo Langya was nominally retained, and a mansion was opened in Xiliang City.
"How? I told you that the situation has not yet settled, and the great revenge cannot be avenged, and sure enough. ”
Sikong Heng was in the tent, rubbing the holy decree of appointment with one hand, and raised his eyes to look at Mu Yu who was looking at the appointment beside him.
"Isn't Sikong Dong removed from his post and returned to Kyoto? What else is left unsettled? Mu Yu leaned beside him and asked.
"Do you think Sikong Dong will be punished if he removes from his post and returns to Kyoto?" Sikong Heng sneered, "Sikong Dong has a very close relationship with Empress Lu; Now, Empress Lu and Mrs. Yang are in control of the situation in the DPRK and China, and Sikong Dong has returned to Luoyang, just to give an explanation to the soldiers of Liangzhou. Within a few days, Empress Lu coordinated from it, and she was still reinstated as an official, eating and drinking spicy food. ”
"What then?!" Mu Mo was so anxious that he jumped to his feet, thinking that Sikong Dong had washed the sect with blood and slaughtered the people, but he couldn't get any punishment, so he couldn't help but rush upward, and he was about to rush out of the camp when he pulled out the dagger.
Sikong Heng grabbed her and asked, "What are you going to do?" ”
"I'm going to kill him!" Mu Yu raised the dagger to break free from Sikong Heng.
"Kill?" Sikong Heng sneered, "In order to limit my power in Liangzhou, Empress Lu deliberately transferred the Zhou Warriors back to Kyoto, and ordered her to escort Sikong Dong and Yu Wannian's father and son back to Beijing unscathed. You kill him, what should the Zhou figurines do? ”
"But do you want to watch Sikong Dong get out?" Mu Yu shouted hatefully and stomped his feet in annoyance.
Sikong Heng slowly closed the decree of appointment and asked lightly: "Mu Wu, do you want to avenge your master?" ”
"Of course!" Mu Mo replied without thinking. She was even a little annoyed, how could Sikong Heng ask like that?
"You sit", Sikong Heng asked Mu Yu to sit beside him and said the next plan:
"Sikong Dong's situation, you have seen it, if you want to bring him down, you can do it in a day or two. Now that I have just been in charge of Liangzhou, Zhou Warriors have been transferred back to Kyoto, and the foundation is quite weak. You have a criminal record of the Mo family, and you have repeatedly participated in the affairs of the Qian family, so it is not safe to follow me. If someone holds the handle, it will not only not protect you, but will drag you down. It's better for you to follow Ye Ji to Chang'an first, and she will teach you martial arts, and when the time is right, I will pick you up and avenge your master. ”
"What?" Mu Mo didn't expect Sikong Heng to suddenly arrange her future, and she was a little blindsided for a while.
Although Sikong Heng treated her well, she didn't really think about staying by his side for a long time.
The relationship between the master and his aunt, and the relationship between the demise of the Mo family and his parents, are full of confusion. Mu Mo couldn't even be sure if the purpose of keeping him by his side was to follow his master's last wish.
"Don't want to go?" Sikong Heng sensed Mu Yu's intentions, so he patiently explained, "Ye Ji is my aunt's personal maid. More than ten years ago, my aunt, as a princess of Heqin, married Tuyuhun as her wife, and Ye Ji also married in the past. After her aunt's death, she has been living in seclusion in Taibai Mountain on the outskirts of Chang'an, quietly developing the Black Shadow Guard. This time, the mother concubine went to Liangzhou from Jiangzuo, passing through Chang'an, Ye Ji secretly followed the mother concubine all the way to Liangzhou, and helped bring the blood book out of Xiliang City. For the Langya family, she is absolutely loyal and reliable, you are there with her, you are safe and can learn skills, and you will never suffer. ”
"Let me think about it." Mu Mo looked away a little irritably.
"Okay." Sikong Heng did not urge her to answer.
