Chapter 69: The End of Life
Qinghui is like water, the moon is full of the west building, the night wind blows, the wind chimes jingle crisply, from the palace of this Lu country to the west, the peaks are like Dai, the forest Mao Spring flies, the weather is thousands, it is worthy of the four words of "the head of the five mountains".
Qin Yan pushed open the window, and sure enough, he saw Ji Ziyu sitting alone on the corridor, carrying a gourd of wine, and pouring it into his throat, while being stunned. Qin Yan climbed over the window, jumped beside him, and said with a smile: "Senior Brother Yu, wouldn't it be a pity for you to get the old Du Kang from there?"
When Ji Ziyu saw that it was him, he smiled, threw the wine gourd to him, and said, "I want it from His Royal Highness Siyun, and it is absolutely mellow." Qin Yan raised his head and took two sips, wiped his mouth and praised: "Good wine." Comfortably sat down beside him.
Ji Ziyu said: "How is Xiao Yi's injury?"
A gloomy color flashed in Qin Yan's eyes, and he sighed: "In the past two days, the high fever has gradually stopped, and the pulse has stabilized. But he is still in a coma, it's really worrying!" glanced at Ji Ziyu and said with a smile: "Why are these two **** so sad?
Ji Ziyu's expression was solemn, he was silent, and he hesitated for a while: "Senior Brother Qin, when do you say we will be able to return to the country?"
Qin Yan was suddenly lost, his heart was in a trance, and he smiled slightly: "I don't know, but as long as we work together, I believe that one day we will be able to restore the Xu State and expel the Chu thieves!"
Ji Ziyu was silent, and his heart was filled with melancholy: Xiao Yi used Xu Yanwang Yuanshen to severely damage Xiong Zhi, but he is still unconscious. I really don't know where to go now?
That night, King Lu's palace was breached, and Siyun was buried in Luhou Sizai, mourning and crying. The whole city mourns. Later, Long Xuan was sent to lead a thousand guards to find Xiao Yi, Youji and Qin Yan. It's just that Xiao Yi was seriously injured and in a coma and couldn't go back. Moreover, the situation in Lu is still unclear, and the army is in chaos. Then he was taken by Long Xuan to the palace of Taishan Lu to recuperate.
The next day, everyone wanted to immediately serve Siyun as the Marquis of Lu, but Siyun shirked his father's new funeral, valued filial piety, and sentenced the thief to not be destroyed. Resolutely refused to succeed to the throne. Everyone had no choice but to change the name to "Prince Regent". And sent four envoys to issue the edict of the prince regent to the sixty-three cities of Lu State, ordering the prince regent to be respected, and jointly crusading against the rebel Sixi and restoring the peace of Lu State.
But in the cities of Lu State, most of the city lords are deeply favored by Si Xi, and judge the situation, Si Xi has a heavy army, far the upper hand, so fifty of the sixty-three cities have taken refuge in Si Xi, and the remaining eight cities remain neutral, so the support of Si Yun is only five cities around Mount Tai.
At the same time, Si Xi broke Jiang Buchen's 100,000 army in Qufu, and Jiang Buchen himself was killed by Si Xi's son Qi Fu. After learning that Siyun had broken through the palace of Mount Tai, he was furious and wanted to wave his troops to the west.
However, the army led by Sixi fought hard for days, with countless wounded soldiers and low morale, and all the soldiers dissuaded him. Si Xi had no choice but to garrison the army in Qufu City, reorganize the army, and rescue the wounded soldiers.
Two days later, Si Xi forced the ministers of the expedition to pass a resolution in Qufu City, electing him to succeed Lu Hou and call him Duke Lu Wei. Dingqufu is the new capital of Lu State, and Li Qifu is the general of Lu State to conquer the West. Chu State and Zong Zhou sent envoys to Qufu City to congratulate and openly support Sixi, and Zhou Tianzi even personally issued an edict to recognize Sixi's orthodox position. The state of Qi supported Taishan Siyun on the grounds that Sixi openly attacked the Qi army. And Sima Feng, who broke through and returned to China, took command again and led 30,000 green leopard cavalry to be stationed on the Qilu border. The rest of the vassal states took a wait-and-see attitude, and the two sides intersected.
So far, the pattern of opposition between the east and the west of the Lu country has been formed.
Half a month later, the sound of Qufu City's invitation to war continued, and the belligerent soldiers all wanted to exterminate the prince regent in one fell swoop and reap great achievements. But Si Xi has always been stoic and cautious, and in order to win the position of Luhou, he has planned for more than ten years. It is something that is not completely certain. They will not send troops lightly. Siyun gathered the troops of the five cities in Mount Tai and obtained 30,000 elite soldiers and horses, and Siyun and his men were brave and good at fighting, and they were full of wisdom; and there were 30,000 green leopards on the border of Qilu riding tigers. It's not a one-time battle.
Sixi's established strategic policy is to form an alliance with the Chu State, surprise it, advance in the southeast, and annihilate the 30,000 troops of Siyun by lightning, so that the Qi State will not dare to act rashly and secretly swallow the bitter fruit. However, the Chuxu War has not yet ended, and the southeast war situation is unbearable. Moreover, there are also Yushan Dongyi rebels in the river, frequently harassing the banks of the Chu River, trying to unite the remnants of Donghai City and work together to flank the Chu army led by Jing Yuan. At this important juncture, the state of Chu naturally could not divide its troops to the north and jointly attack Siyun.
Therefore, although Sixi gathered 150,000 rebels, 500,000 quintals of grain and grass. But he never dared to move, waiting for the opportunity. The arrogant soldiers in the rebel army are not annoying, please keep talking. Si Xi was never allowed, and ordered Qi Fu, the general of the expedition to the west, to be responsible for one hundred, and the military order was issued again, and the rebel generals did not dare to disobey.
In the palace of Mount Tai, Siyun Fangfu ascended the position of prince regent, and was also busy stabilizing the situation and consolidating people's hearts, and was temporarily unable to fight the thieves in the east.
After that, Siyun ordered the famous doctors of Mount Tai to go to the palace to diagnose and treat Xiao Yi, three days later, Xiao Yi's meridians were basically repaired, and his breathing was smooth, but he was still unconscious.
Youji was extremely worried about Xiao Yi's injury, and waited all day before the collapse, guarding his divine consciousness with his true qi and mental power. And Ji Ziyu and Qin Yan were embarrassed when they saw that You Ji cared so much about Xiao Yi, and remembered that You Ji had killed Xiao Yi in the ghost pool of Hongze Cave in the past, but now they took care of him so carefully. On the night of the third day, Xiao Yi gradually woke up from a coma, Ji Ziyu and Qin Yan were overjoyed, and found some golden medicine stones to feed him, so after another three days, Xiao Yi's consciousness was finally clear. It can also run the True Qi on its own to heal wounds.
On this day, Xiao Yi was as lucky as in the past in the room to heal, and not long after he sat down, he heard Xu Yanwang's faint voice say lightly: "Xiao Yi, the limit of the widow is approaching, and the Yuan Shen will dissipate in a short time!"
Xiao Yi was shocked, and couldn't help but feel sad in his heart, although a month ago, he knew that this moment was coming, but if King Xu Yan didn't fight Xiong Zhi with all his might, the Yuan Shen would have at least two months of life. It was very sad in my heart.
King Xu Yan said with a smile: "Xiao Yi, when I saw you for the first time, although the widow was not optimistic about you, but after getting along for more than a month, I found that you have a similar temperament and widowhood, and although your qualifications are a little worse, you can make up for your clumsiness with diligence." In the future, you must sharpen the many exercises I taught you, and Dongyi will rely on you!"
Xiao Yi said in a low voice after a while: "The king's golden words, Xiao Yi will remember it in his heart! If there is an afterlife, I must be the king's apprentice!"
