Chapter Seventy-Six: Becoming a King and Defeating a Villain
The battle between the two armies ended with peace between the two sides. Liang Yu changed into court clothes and went on a pilgrimage to meet the Northern Qi Emperor Gao Wei.
"Your Majesty, see Your Majesty." Liang Yu knelt on the ground.
"Get up." Gao Wei yawned and said, "This time our soldiers suffered such heavy casualties, why didn't we win the battle?" ”
Liang Yu glanced up at Gao Wei and replied: "The minister is not effective, I hope Your Majesty will forgive me, this time I sent troops, the minister was accidentally trapped in the mountains and forests, I thought it was just an accident, but when the minister was trapped in the mountains and forests, someone set fire to the mountains and deliberately murdered, I hope Your Majesty will see it." ”
"Is there such a thing?" Gao Wei glanced at Heshikai who was standing next to him.
He Shikai immediately knelt down and replied: "The deliberate murder of the ministers of the court is really hateful, please ask Your Majesty to hand over this matter to the ministers, and it will definitely be revealed." ”
Seeing this, Liang Yu simply replied neatly: "Your Majesty, you can't hand over this matter to him, everyone in the court knows that I don't agree with him, if I hand over this matter to him and a monk, I'm afraid it will be inappropriate." ”
"Bold," Lu Lingxuan on the side spoke, "Your Majesty hasn't spoken yet, what qualifications do you have to talk about conditions here?" ”
"Didn't you speak first?" Liang Yu replied coldly.
"You ......" Lu Lingxuan shook her hand angrily and looked at Gao Wei.
Gao Wei sighed and asked, "Then you say, who are you looking for?" ”
"Your Majesty......" He Shikai and Lu Lingxuan spoke at the same time, but Gao Wei waved his hand, signaling them to stop.
Liang Yu thought to himself, if this matter is handed over to the traitorous ministers, he will die quickly, if it is handed over to the loyal ministers, I am afraid that this will involve too much and affect them, so I don't do it in advance, let Gao Wei owe himself a favor, and let him not embarrass his father in the future.
Liang Yu thought for a while and replied: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks about it, it is better to give up on this matter, after all, now that the two countries are at war, if they investigate this matter in a big way, I am afraid that it will hurt the national roots. ”
This trick is obviously very useful to a monarch like Gao Wei who doesn't want to take care of things, and he smiled: "Aiqing is worthy of being a famous general and loyal minister, so it will be yours, let it go in advance, but if the same thing happens again, you just come to me, and I will make the decision for you." ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Liang Yu bowed to Gao Wei. In fact, she also knew in her heart that Gao Wei's later sentence was just talking, just to give He Shikai and Lu Lingxuan a horse, so that they couldn't make trouble in a short time.
After exiting the palace, Liang Yu breathed a sigh of relief and walked briskly towards the palace gate, at this time, Yang Jun's figure flashed in her mind, her face was slightly red, and she thought: I don't know what happened to that guy.
- Northern Zhou
At this time, Yang Jun had just returned home, and before he had taken care of his wounds, someone came to report.
"My lord, there is a Taoist priest named Shen Shen who wants to see you, and the person is already outside the door, will you see it or not?" The house slave asked.
Yang Jun was stunned: This name is so familiar.
After changing his clothes, he went out of the dormitory and commanded, "Bring someone in." ”
After entering the door, Yang Jun was stunned again, the dress of the person who came looked very strange, covered his eyes with black cloth, dressed in black clothes, holding yin and yang beads, and walked towards Yang Jun slowly, not looking like a Taoist priest.
"Uh, I don't know what the long is looking for Yang?" Yang Jun asked politely.
When he heard his senior brother's voice again, he was very excited in his heart, but he still tried his best to restrain himself and not let his emotions explode.
"My lord, I passed by your mansion in the depths, and when I realized that my lord was destined to have a catastrophe, I immediately came to tell you."
"Be bold," rebuked the slave, "and you will not be able to decide your fate." ”
"It's okay," Yang Jun never believed in these things, and he didn't care if what Shen Shen said was rude, he just listened to children's jokes, "I, Yang, don't believe in such a thing as fate, if the Taoist chief specially came here to send a message, Yang also listened to it at will, and only became the Taoist chief's heart." ”
Shen Shen nodded and bowed: "My lord, you must have a peach blossom catastrophe in your life, this peach blossom is born in a foreign country, with its own poisonous stinger, its petals are as sharp as a knife, if the adult touches, it will be fascinated by the venom, injured by the petals, if it is brought back, it will also be a disaster to the country and the people, look at the adult, be cautious." ”
After Yang Jun heard this, he was immediately stunned, what he said was not the female general of the Northern Qi Dynasty, Liang Yu?
"What the Taoist chief said, is it specifically referring to his person?" Yang Jun asked.
"Yes, this woman has been seen by adults." Shen Shen replied.
"So, what do you think I'm going to do?" Yang Jun raised his eyes and asked.
Stygian paused for a moment and replied, "Kill it." ”
Yang Jun didn't ask any more questions, but stared at the dark for a long time without saying anything.
Seeing that he didn't answer for a long time, he was inevitably a little flustered, but he still mustered up the courage to continue: "If you don't remove this woman, adults will not be at peace in this life, I don't want you to ...... like this" The last sentence was said from the bottom of my heart.
Yang Jun looked at him and asked in a low voice, "Why?" ”
Shen Shen naturally understood what he was asking, so he knelt down lightly and replied respectfully: "I have known adults a long time ago, maybe adults don't remember me, but your kindness to me, I will never forget, I only ask you to spend this life safely, so as not to suffer in the next life." "The next life that Shen Shen said is naturally Gu Yan's seventh life, Chen Qiao said that in the seventh life, all his memories will be there, as for why, Shen Shen doesn't know, he just wants his senior brother to spend the rest of the reincarnation life safely, and their senior brother's relationship will also return to the way before.
After Yang Jun heard this, he pondered for a long time, and when he saw that he still didn't reply, he had to bow and say, "Poor Dao will retreat first, don't bother the adults." ”
With that, Shen Shen turned around and left. Then, a woman in blue entered through the back door, and she walked lightly to Yang Jun's side and slowly added fragrance.
"Female teacher, what do you think?" Yang Jun rubbed his eyebrows and asked.
Chen Qiao smiled: "Leave it to fate...... My lord, don't you like that woman? ”
Yang Jun nodded, then shook his head and said, "I don't know. ”
"And what kind of affection do adults have for me?" Chen Qiao looked at Yang Jun with anticipation in his eyes.
Yang Jun was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "You are my good friend." ”
A hint of loss flashed in Chen Qiao's eyes, but she quickly disguised it, and she continued: "If you can't escape the number of lives, don't run away, anyway, in the end, the ending will be the same." ”
"I see." Yang Jun nodded.
"You don't know." Chen Qiao smiled mysteriously, "My lord, cherish yourself, I'm going back to see the medicine in the palace." ”
After speaking, she slowly retreated, leaving Yang Jun, who was alone with the incense burner.
The next encounter was on the border of Zhouqi.
In the poor village, Liang Yu distributed the dry food he brought with him to the villagers, but was rejected by the villagers, and the ragged villagers looked at Liang Yu vigilantly, just because she was carrying the palace card of the Northern Qi Dynasty, these years, Gao Wei's atrocities have made the people completely disappointed in this mediocre emperor, especially after the death of Gao Changgong, the king of Lanling, the people lost trust in the officers and soldiers of the Northern Qi Dynasty, because wherever there are officers and soldiers, there must be burning, killing and looting, the dynasty of the Northern Qi Dynasty has long been eaten by Gao Wei and his traitors.
"Ugh." Liang Yu also seemed to be aware of this problem, so he gave up giving away food.
As soon as she turned around, she saw Yang Jun, who had been observing her for a long time, and a smile reappeared on her originally lost face.
"Huh? How did you get here? Liang Yu asked with a smile, as if forgetting that they were enemies.
Yang Jun blushed and said: "Oh, I'll take a look casually, it's you, although this is the border of Zhou Qi, but in the end it is also under the jurisdiction of Northern Zhou, what are you doing here?" Aren't you afraid of getting caught? ”
Liang Yu smiled and said, "It's not you, I'm your benefactor!" ”
Seeing her smug look, Yang Jun couldn't help but smile and said, "Yes, I don't dare to do anything to you." ”
After the two sat down and chatted for a long time, Yang Jun asked, "Since you already know that there are only wreckage left in Northern Qi, why do you still have to be loyal to Gao Wei?" ”
Liang Yu replied with a wry smile: "First, it's because my father is a veteran of the court, if I abandon the Northern Qi, then what will he become?" Second, the Northern Qi Dynasty was guarded by many soldiers of the previous dynasty, I can't live up to it, and thirdly, from ancient times to the present, no one can accept a traitor, I was born in the Northern Qi Dynasty, and I have to be loyal to the emperor of the Northern Qi forever. ”
"Hmm...... I respect you. Yang Jun raised his glass in admiration.
At this time, a small soldier who was following saw that the two were so familiar, so he hurriedly hid to the side and eavesdropped. After going back, he reported the incident to Lu Lingxuan, and after Lu Lingxuan heard it, he smiled coldly: "It really doesn't take much effort to get it, and it will be easy to find evidence of the private correspondence between the two." ”
Three months later.
"Bold Liang Yu, dare to teach and receive privately with the officials of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, what else do you have to say?" He Shikai said coldly, at this time he was still a little proud in his heart.
"It seems that I can't protect you this time." Gao Wei shook his hand, prepared to return to the palace, and said to the monk, "This matter will be handled by you." ”
He Shikai was about to answer, when a eunuch ran into the door in a panic: "Report!" ”
"What?" Cushman asked calmly.
"Your Majesty...... Your Majesty," replied the eunuch tremblingly, "the army of the Northern Zhou Dynasty has already attacked the palace gate. ”
"What?!" Gao Wei finally panicked, and he hurriedly said, "Hurry up, transfer all the soldiers in to protect me, and you guys quickly go and stop me." ”
He Shikai immediately took Liang Yu to the city tower to block the troops.
"Open the gates! Those who surrender, cover will not be held accountable! One of the soldiers shouted.
At this time, the few soldiers left outside the city gate, hearing this, abandoned their weapons and surrendered. He Shikai, who was still stubborn, suddenly softened, and hurriedly knelt down and begged for mercy.
But Liang Yu didn't move, she saw Yang Jun at a glance, looking at each other, looking at each other without saying a word, they all knew that one day, they would meet in such a form, but when this day came, neither of them was ready.
The general next to Yang Jun said: "If you don't surrender, kill it." After speaking, he glanced at Yang Jun.
The military order was as big as a mountain, Yang Jun did not dare to disobey the order, he opened his bow and arrow with red eyes, trembling, and at the same time he shouted loudly: "Those who surrender will not be treated as treason, and our dynasty will treat everyone equally." This sentence is obviously for Liang Yu alone.
Liang Yu smiled with tears, she snatched the blade from the little soldier's hand, and said firmly: "Swear allegiance to the country protected by the predecessors, and this life will not change!" ”
After that, he rushed forward to fight with the soldiers in the front row, and the generals in the back row were stunned, they didn't expect this little girl who was not even twenty years old to be so strong and loyal.
And even though Liang Yu's kung fu is very high, he is outnumbered after all, and finally he is scarred and half-kneeling on the ground, relying on the sword inserted upside down on the ground to maintain his body.
At this time, even the general under his command couldn't bear it, and he said: "There is no salvation in Northern Qi, and if you are like this, you will not be able to please the people." ”
"This time, not for the people, but for the faith......" Liang Yu's gaze was still firm.
"Generals, this woman is stubborn by nature, only by surrendering to the Northern Zhou can she save the common people, she just doesn't listen!" The monk on the side opened the dogleg road.
Liang Yu sneered, she wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and looked at Yang Jun. The general also nodded at Yang Jun, Yang Jun's hand pulling the bow was already very sore, but he still refused to let go. At this time, a stone from nowhere hit his hand, the string was loosened, the arrow was immediately fired, the heart was pierced, Liang Yu fell to the ground, and after a wry smile, he closed his eyes. Yang Jun's tears flowed from his bloodshot eyes, and he looked at Liang Yu's corpse like an arrow through his heart.
"Then these surrenderees ......," a soldier whispered to the general.
Yang Jun took the first step to answer, he lowered his face coldly, and said fiercely: "Kill, don't leave one." ”
