Chapter 260: Courage
At night, there is silence in the capital, as if the leaves of the trees fall to the ground, and the sound can be heard. At the gate of the city, a fast horse roared.
The soldiers defending the city, standing on the roof of the building, saw the fast horse, and came down at a rapid speed and stopped.
"Open the door, open the door, open the door quickly......" The man on horseback outside the door called out loudly.
"Who are you? It can be known that the Celestial Empire prohibits not opening the city gate at night. The soldier shouted.
But when he saw the man on horseback, he raised the object in his hand and said in a loud voice: "I am the second son of the Guogong Mansion, I have an urgent matter to go to the Huawang Mansion, and if I miss something, are you responsible?" Hurry up and open the door......"
It turned out that the person who called the door outside the door turned out to be Mei Shenzhi, who had been out of the city for more than two months. He came all the way, but people really can't see what he really is.
As soon as I heard that it was the second son of the Guogong Mansion, and he had something important to go to the Huawang Mansion, the people guarding the door naturally did not dare to stop it, and soon opened the city gate.
In the study, there was silence, Mei Shenzhi wiped his face, waiting for Dugu Dieyi's arrival, originally, Dugu Die rested according to herself, but Su Zimo was not in the palace at this time, Mei Shenzhi said that there was something important, and she must talk to Dugu Dieyi, so Dugu Dieyi dragged her body and came to the study.
It's just that I haven't seen him for two months, Mei Shenzhi's whole person has completely lost weight, if you don't look at it carefully, you must not be able to see that he is the second son of the Guogong Mansion.
"Cousin, you are so flustered, but something has happened?" As soon as Dugu Dieyi entered the study, she directly cut to the theme.
Because of the reason that she had just given birth, Dugu Dieyi's whole person looked not only extremely pale, but also very weak.
Mei Shen didn't care about taking a sip of tea, so she handed over a letter in her arms to Dugu Dieyi's hands.
"Cousin-in-law, something happened ahead...... Mei Shenzhi looked worried.
Dugu Dieyi couldn't help but get nervous, she quickly opened the letter in her hand, read it, after a while, her face completely changed, as if she wanted to rain, her hand holding the paper, couldn't help but tremble, and the whole person almost had a feeling of unsteadyness.
"It's terrible, it's terrible...... King Duan led his troops to travel, and it was so scary that such a big thing happened. Dugu Die trembled and spoke.
Mei Shenzhi answered: "Yes, this is not a trivial matter, the surnames of more than 30,000 people, just in the wave of King Duan's hand, all the lives are gone...... In the credit book, there were 30,000 more corpses of the Hu people out of thin air. ”
"King Duan did this, not only to bully the king, but also to disregard people's lives, in this way, the lives of 30,000 unjust souls are all borne on him, he is a complete sinner in the Celestial Empire."
"Cousin-in-law, King Duan's arrangements are thorough, but all those who know about this matter have been killed by him on various charges, and now, the people who dare to expose Duanwang's crimes don't exist at all, if I didn't run fast, I would definitely die in the hands of Duanwang."
"Ruthless, it's just too ruthless, I really can't imagine that if such a gorgeous country as the Celestial Empire is handed over to someone like King Duan, then, what kind of life should the people be able to live, it's terrible, that night's bloodthirsty massacre is simply the nightmare of my life."
Mei Shenzhi covered his face and began to cry, at this time, he was a dignified seven-foot man, and he actually cried like a child.
The scene that night was really miserable. It is not an exaggeration to describe it as a river of blood, with swords flying and heads all over the ground.
"King Duan is so bold, in order to repay his military exploits, he slaughtered so many people in the Celestial Empire, how can he bear such a crime?" Dugu Dieyi is also extremely distressed.
In the morning, the court received a good news from King Duan, saying that King Duan killed 30,000 thieves of the Hu tribe and led the army in a way or something, Emperor Tianwei was very happy, and specially wrote a holy decree and sent someone to King Duan to show his reward.
In fact, if Emperor Tianwei knew that the so-called 30,000 people killed by King Duan were all people of the Celestial Empire, what kind of irony would it be.
"Cousin-in-law, what should I do? If King Duan is allowed to slaughter like this, the people on the border between the Celestial Empire and the Hu people will suffer greatly, I also heard that King Duan not only killed innocent people, but also robbed the people's things, just those girls, they have killed hundreds of people. And dozens of them are underage children? If this development continues, the world will definitely be uneasy. ”
Mei Shenzhi cried again. He went out on an errand, passed by the border of the Hu people, and originally planned to do something else, but unexpectedly, he was arrested by Duanwang's people, and labeled as a person of the Hu people. When I went to the prisons where those people were locked up, I learned that those who were labeled as Hu were actually people of the Celestial Empire.
King Duan is using the lives of the people of the Celestial Empire to ask Emperor Tianwei for credit.
This is simply vicious.
"How bold is he to do this? Did he think that the emperor really didn't dare to take off his head? Dugu Die was so angry that she slammed the letter in her hand on the table in the study, which made her little hands extremely painful.
"Cousin-in-law, let's send a letter to my cousin and ask him to go home quickly, at this time, he is the only one who can save the people of the Heavenly Empire, cousin-in-law, the courage of King Duan, it is against God." Mei Shenzhi's face was sweaty, and when he thought of him brushing shoulders with death, he couldn't help but be afraid.
But it turned out that under the peaceful and quiet appearance of the Celestial Empire, there was such an undercurrent surging. Mei Shenzhi really couldn't understand that if the Celestial Empire was handed over to such a person, the Celestial Empire would be a mess and scattered. The lives of those people of the Celestial Empire will dye the vast earth red.
"Your cousin is still in the palace now, I heard Mei Jiu come back to send a message, saying that he is not feeling well, and I am afraid that he will have to rest in the palace tonight......" Dugu Die said accordingly.
Mei Shenzhi picked up the letter and put it into his arms, and then said eagerly: "No, the matter is too important. I must see my cousin tonight, or the Celestial Empire will be in danger......"
Mei Shenzhi is just a businessman, he knows that the Celestial Empire is going to be dangerous, so the Celestial Empire is really going to be dangerous.
Dugu Dieyi stopped him and said, "Cousin, you can rest in King Hua's Mansion for the time being, I will send someone into the palace and send a message to your cousin. ”
