Chapter 15: Goodbye to the Holy One
"Waste, waste! A bunch of rubbish! In the palace of the dynasty, Shangguan Hong's hysterical voice resounded in the hall, his eyes were full of scarlet at this time, and with a shout, he slammed a book to the ground.
At the foot of the steps, a group of ministers bowed their heads and stood with their hands down, the dynasty was defeated, and none of them dared to say a word.
Yang Kai, who has always been foolish and loyal, took the lead in walking out, he walked in front of Shangguan Hong, and arched his hand and said: "Emperor Qiqi, according to our 100,000 sailors, Yue Guo is not an opponent at all, just because the generals commanded by Yue Guo are ...... Feng Qiuyin, he was once the general of Zhenyuan in this dynasty, he commanded the three armies, and he knows the combat deployment of our army very well, and if this goes on like this, it will be a great disadvantage to our army! ”
"Feng Qiuyin?!" Shangguan Hong was startled and slammed the case up, making the ministers below tremble.
"He's now a general of the Yue Kingdom?" Shangguan Hong asked angrily.
Yang Kai was silent, but the expression on his face changed slightly, he didn't expect Feng Qiuyin to cooperate with Bai Fengyun, with his understanding of Feng Qiuyin, the general would never do such a thing.
Seeing this, Shangguan Hong had completely lost his mind, and quickly ran down the steps, grabbed Yang Kai's clothes, and shouted: "Feng Qiuyin, this is a collaborator with the enemy and a traitor!" Now the evidence is ironclad, there is no doubt, you quickly send another 50,000 sailors to fight him to the death, if you don't cut off Feng Qiuyin's head, you don't have to come back! ”
After retreating, Shangguan Hong went straight to the rockery in the back garden in a huff, and after a loud "boom" sound, Shangguan Hong did not look left and right, but walked directly down the stone steps.
In that secret room, the real emperor was still tied to a wooden stake, and Shangguan Hong walked up to him, tearing off the human skin mask on his face with one hand, revealing a handsome but angry face.
When the emperor saw him, he didn't react much, just the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, he smiled sarcastically, and a pair of eyes stared at him, but he seemed to be able to see through everything, and he felt empty.
Shangguan Hong sat down on the chair in front of him, anger had already appeared in his eyes, and after a long time, he said coldly: "Do you know that this time the dynasty and the Yue Kingdom fought in the East China Sea, the enemy army won a complete victory, and our army was defeated, and the main reason for this is not anything else, but the commander of the enemy country is Feng Qiuyin!" After speaking, Shangguan Hong sneered again, and continued: "Now that Feng Qiuyin collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country, and even personally went to command the battle, giving our army a serious blow, I want to ask you again, do you regret letting Feng Qiuyin go, don't you regret not handing over the jade seal to me?" ”
The emperor glanced at him coldly, and said to him angrily: "I never regret it, no matter what the outcome is in the future, I will believe in one thing, you, Shangguan Hong, will definitely die!" ”
"Good! Then we'll see! Shangguan Hong was angry, brushed his sleeves and left, he knew that it was useless for him to continue to stay there, if the emperor didn't say where the jade seal was, he couldn't really show his true face, a few days ago he took the emperor's serious illness on behalf of the government, but this is not a long-term solution, so he came up with a way to disguise, but this dynasty is still called the Niwa Dynasty, after all, it is not his own, he is not solid in his heart.
After seeing Shangguan Hong leave, the emperor sighed, and then slowly closed his eyes, with thousands of thoughts in his mind.
"Feng Qiuyin, do you really want to take revenge on me?" As he sighed, he felt that several black shadows flashed in front of him, he thought it was Shangguan Hong, and when he opened his eyes, he couldn't help but shoot a cold light, "Aren't you leaving?" ”
But he saw the three of them kneeling at his feet together, the man he knew, it was Wang Zhong, and the other two were women, one was Ouyang's wife - Cheng Ning'er, and the other was relatively young, he had never seen it.
"Your Majesty, my subordinates are late to save the car, I hope I ask for forgiveness!" After Wang Zhong finished speaking, he got up and untied the rope for him, although he was puzzled in his heart, he did not forget to show the spirit of a king, and said majestically to the two women who were still kneeling: "Let's all be flat." ”
Because Shangguan Hong was afraid of revealing his identity, the secret room was not heavily guarded, but occasionally a few guards from the silk village patrolled here a few times, and Wang Zhong took advantage of the gap to escape with the emperor on his back.
"Who?" The guards obviously discovered them, and after a roar, they attracted the surrounding Praetorian Guards, who were all arranged by Shangguan Hong, and soon surrounded them.
Seeing this, Wang Zhong wanted to fight hard, but because he was carrying the emperor on his back, he couldn't use his martial arts with all his might, and after they made a fuss, he would definitely alarm Shangguan Hong, and with his skills, Wang Zhong didn't dare to be sure of victory, not to mention, he also had to protect the two women who accompanied him.
At this critical moment, Xiaohong had an idea, took out the token on his waist and shook it a few times in front of them, and said, "Bold! You don't look at what it is! ”
When those people saw that the token was engraved with the word Shangguan, they knew her identity, and subconsciously took a few steps back, and they all abandoned their swords and did not dare to make a mistake. "I am ordered by the owner of the village to transfer this person, time is urgent, there must be no mistake!" After speaking, Xiaohong took the opportunity to give Wang Zhong a hint, and when his eyes intertwined, Wang Zhong understood, and glanced at Xiaohong reluctantly, he knew that Xiaohong's move would definitely bring trouble to herself, and Shangguan Hong would not let her go if she pretended to pass on the order. But...... Wang Zhong looked back at the weak emperor again, his eyes suddenly showed a hint of perseverance, and shouted to Cheng Ning'er: "Hurry up!" Then, a few figures flashed, and they disappeared into the night.
"Your Majesty, are you okay? After Wang Zhong and the others escaped from there, they ran all the way, and if it weren't for the emperor's weak health, they wouldn't have stopped.
They put down the emperor and let him lean against the trunk of a big tree, and Cheng Ning'er went to fetch water, leaving only Wang Zhong to protect him.
The emperor slept there for a while, felt that the whole person was much more relaxed, raised his eyes to look at Wang Zhong, and saw that he looked like he wanted to speak and stopped, and couldn't help but smile faintly, and said: "You have a meritorious escort, what reward do you want, I promise it to you!" ”
Wang Zhong just shook his head, then knelt down on one knee, and said respectfully: "It is natural for subordinates to protect the emperor, and subordinates dare not ask for credit, but only ask the saint to allow his subordinates to clarify one thing." ”
The emperor was silent, and Wang Zhong continued: "The subordinates came to the rescue after receiving the general's order, and the general's cooperation with the Yue State is not to collaborate with the enemy and betray the country, but to try to save the saint!" ”
After hearing this, the emperor was skeptical, narrowed his eyes slightly, and his thoughts flew in his head, and then said meaningfully: "I hope so!" ”
At the same time, on the side of the Yue Kingdom, Feng Qiuyin handed over several captured prisoners to Wanqing for processing, these prisoners were not the soldiers he had brought before, but some martial arts people who knew three-legged cat kung fu.
Wanqing arranged for these captives to help in the pig barn and vegetable patch, and they wore shackles and handcuffs, facing the loess with their backs to the sky, and experienced the taste of hard work.
