Chapter Fifty-Eight: A New Lord

Cheek Butterflies are dead, and the Hayes soldiers he brought with him are all gone. The army soon entered Zhilu City, but they found that the people and garrisons in Zhilu City had all withdrawn. Very well, retreat to Black Panther City, and you can catch them all. Zhilu City is only a small city, and there is nothing to grab, so the army spent two days passing through Zhilu City and continuing to march towards Black Panther City.

Wei Yangyang led a group of remnants of the defeated generals, how to deal with the army that could not be trusted? The answer is: change with the same. According to Wei Shuping's orders, she sent people to throw all the weaving and dyeing pigments in the city into the water source of Zhilu City. Therefore, two days ago, when the army passed through Zhilu City, he was afraid that the water would be poisonous, so he did not dare to drink it, but continued to move forward. But August, the hottest time in the desert, 20,000 horses have not encountered any clean water source for three days since they entered Zhilu City. The sweetest and largest water source in this desert is the Lehai guarded by the Wei family, and the others are scattered small puddles, bitter and unpleasant. But anyway, those puddles were still drinkable, and they didn't even encounter this bitter, hard-to-swallow puddle for three days. By the time they came all the way to the Black Panther City and set up their formation, they were already sleepy.

Wei Yang and Cheek Bo Yifan stood at the head of the city, and she looked coldly at the support of the city. Cheek Bo Yifan was not so relieved about her plan: "If you can't trust it, will you be fooled?" Wei Yangyang was full of confidence: "He is so greedy, he will definitely be." And now he has no choice. "It was not the Hayes cavalry who met the army under the tower, but ten waterwheels. Water! I don't know that the country of Haisi is not like the Haixi Wei family, there are so many arrows that they can't shoot enough. Therefore, they went to snatch the water wheel, and the danger was not great. Even if there were sporadic arrows coming down from the towers, it would be worth it. So he sent a hundred men to grab water. There was no suspense in this small battle, and the Hayes people closed their doors, and they easily got the waterwheel. The Water Demon Infantry transported the ten waterwheels farther away, and everyone in the army stared at the waterwheels with expectant eyes. Seeing that it was already far from the city gate, he ordered: "Follow the procession, and come in groups to fetch water." Ten carts of water are obviously not enough for 20,000 people, and those in the back are about to finish filling the water, and they begin to be agitated, and they all gather around to see if there is anything of their own.

Now is the time! Wei Yangyang took a bow, she set up the bow and arrows, and measured the distance. She was now eighty meters away from her target, a length she could rarely shoot, and from time to time there was wind and sand in the desert that would block her view, could she hit it with one hit? Whether this plan can succeed or not depends on her arrow! Wei Yangyang held his breath and forced himself to forget about anything, including the brutality of the water demon army outside Haixi City and the looting of the people. In her eyes and heart, she only had what her father told her before leaving: "In this battle, if the water demon is destroyed, my Dayang can enjoy peace for at least three years!" Thinking of this, she opened her eyes and raised her arrows. Her more than ten years of hard training was not in vain, the arrow seemed to have eyes, and with a whoosh, it hit the front of the third water wheel, and the ammunition hidden in the front of the car exploded with a "bang", triggering a series of explosions of ten water wheels, and the water demon soldiers surrounding the vicinity were blown in half.

Wei Yangyang was very proud, and looked at Tuo Bujing with a smile: "General Right, meet again." As soon as her voice came out, she naturally knew who she was: "The daughter of the King of Weiyan?" Wei Yangyang was obviously very satisfied with this title, and said with a smile: "That's right, King Wei Yan is here, and he has come to ask for your life." Hahahaha. Her horrible laughter rang out over the city walls. When the water demon soldiers heard this, they all shivered in their hearts. Of course, they are not afraid of a young girl, they are afraid of the name that is more terrible in the desert than the scorching sun: the king of Weiyan. Is the King of Yama there? Is the Wei Jiajun also here? All of them began to ask themselves in their minds.

Tuo was even more afraid in his heart, no wonder the Hayes people dared to close their doors and dare to let go of Zhilucheng to admit him to loot, that was because they had the Wei family as reinforcements? The son of Cheek Butterflies knew Wei Shuping's daughter, which he had known for a long time, but he didn't know that Wei Shuping was willing to send troops to help the Hayes people in order to deal with him? There must be some deception in this. Without ordering the troops, retreat twenty miles, and first observe to see if there are any Weijia troops. By the time he had withdrawn twenty miles away, it was almost dark. The sergeants were preparing to set up camp, and he received another unfortunate news, Xidi was attacking the Water Demon Capital, and the Storm was attacking the Water Demon Ice Spring City, and the Wei family army was attacking the Water Demon Blue Song City, and Wei Shuping also sent him a big gift and sent someone to blow up his grain transportation team.

These three people are usually wrong with each other, but now they are acting in unison, and the information that the Wei family and the violent victory fell out before is obviously fake! It must have been a game made by the garrison. And the 20,000 people he sent back to resist Xidi were trapped in Dadu, and most of them were already in danger. This Black Panther City can be fought again next time, but most of them can't help it, otherwise, if the national capital is breached, it will be equivalent to the destruction of the country. So he can only take advantage of the moonlight, take a look at Seal City from afar, withdraw his troops, and come back next time. But he never expected that like his brother, he would never have a next time.

The army of water demons found nothing outside Seal City, withdrew overnight, and returned to Zhilu City. When they came to Zhilu City three days ago, they were in high spirits when they took advantage of the victory to pursue them; When they came back three days later, they were already sleepy and tired, and if they could not find a water source, they were afraid that they would not be able to go to the capital. Therefore, the water demon soldiers began to search the city in detail, and they even dug up the floors of people's houses, and finally found food and water sources that had not been found before. The water is in the tower! Because water is a precious commodity in the desert, every city will have a place to store it. The water stored in Zhilu City is placed in the highest bamboo tower in the city. One of the soldiers, because he was so thirsty, really did not give up, ran up the thirteenth floor, only to see buckets and buckets of water on the top of the tower. He happily shouted to the bottom of the tower: "There is a water source here!" There are hundreds of barrels. ”

As a precaution, the sergeants were asked to carefully inspect each floor of the tower to see if there were any explosives. The sergeants were also frightened by yesterday's explosion and searched next to each other, there were no explosives but water. Everyone was very happy, desperately going up the tower to get water, and everyone was full of drink. Although this water is bitter, for those who have not replenished the water source for three days, this is already a jade liquid elixir. Ecstatic soldiers rushed into the city and gathered around the tower, waiting for the water to be divided.

At this time, Wei Yang and Chou Bo Yifan were standing outside the east gate of Zhilu City. Seeing that the torch raised in Wei Yangyang's hand reflected her face flushing, it was difficult for Yifan to make a final decision: "Do you really want to do this?" Wei Yangyang did not answer his question, but asked him expressionlessly: "Do you know how Dun Butuo died?" He shook his head.

Wei Yangyang usually loves to laugh, but before he speaks, a smile has appeared on his face; Before the sound could be heard, laughter came. But today, her face was calm, and there was no smile at all: "He was burned to death by me." Since he is his own brother, he should accompany him to be burned to death. So saying, she threw the torch into the pyre and ordered the gates to be closed.

Zhilu City is very small, so small that there are only two gates in the east and west. By the time the water demon soldiers found out that it was on fire, the fire was already very large.

Unexpectedly, someone would abandon a city to burn them. The panicked ink army fled to the two city gates, but thick firewood was stuffed outside each gate, and the fire burned bigger than the inside of the city, and there was no way to retreat. The soldiers rushed up to the tower again, jumped down from the tower, and were killed and injured by the fall. And those who were lucky enough not to fall to their deaths encountered the Hayes soldiers at the east gate and the Wei family army at the west gate. The fire burned for three days and three nights, burning the entire city.

Three days later, Wei Yangyang and the others walked into Zhilu City again. The Hayes soldiers opened the east gate, and the corpses of the water demons in the street were piled up, all of them charred, and it was impossible to see who was who. The closer I got, the more I can smell the unpleasant smell of burning. He had never seen such a scene before, it was a hell on earth, he was so frightened and frightened that he finally couldn't help but vomit. Wei Yangyang sighed, and there was still a little dissatisfaction in his tone: "It's a pity, it's a pity, I can't find any of them, hey." Cheap him. After that, she happily circled around the street, as if what was in front of her was not a human tragedy, but a wonderful Bangzi play. Cheek Bo looked at her in horror, feeling as if he didn't know her anymore. The righteous and cheerful Wei Yangyang is gone, and she seems to be really Bai Wuchang from hell and climbed up to ask for her life. Cheek Bo Yifan now felt as if she was having a terrifying dream, and the Lang Yang in the dream was indeed sent by the King of Weiyan, as if she really had an iron chain in her hand, and she wanted to take away all the living people in this world one by one.

Under the siege of Tyrant, Xidi, and Weijia, the Water Demon Army retreated to rescue their own side, and the Hayes Army also fought back against the Water Devil, and soon recovered all the cities. On October 22, the water demon king was killed in Dadu, and the water demon died in the country. The Dayang Imperial Court also sent officials from the Ministry of Rites to discuss with Xidi, Tyrant, and Hayes how to divide the land of the Water Demons. The battle is decided, and the Hayes army has finally returned to the national capital, Guilai City. The country of Hayes was saved, everyone was happy, and the people in the city began to celebrate, and there was laughter and laughter everywhere.

They came to the palace of King Hays, and he settled Wei Yang first. In the evening, he took Wei Yangyang to the highest place of the palace and took her to see the night view of Guilai City. The last time Wei Yangyang saw the whole city for a celebration was in Qiantang last year, after defeating the pirates. But last time it was the people of Dayang, and this time the people who celebrated were the people of Hais. Although her father sent her, there was always a reason for her father, but in her heart, she always felt that it was not a taste. Cheek Bo Yifan saw her sullen and coaxed her: "Luang, look at the happiness of this world, how good." Wei Yangyang knew that the officials of the Ministry of Rites had arrived a few days ago, and Dayang supported him to be the monarch, and the two countries have been friendly for generations. smiled at him: "Tomorrow, you will become the lord of the Hays country." Congratulations. Since beating her and burning Zhilu City, there seems to be a rift between the two of them, and Yifan seems to be frightened, and he doesn't talk to her much. It's been a long time since the two of them have stood together so intimately and chatted quietly.

Because of his meritorious service in protecting the country, and the lord of the country Xun Zuhui is dead, and with the support of Dayang, the ministers all support him as the new monarch, and tomorrow will be the new monarch's ceremony. Cheek Bo Yifan looked at her: "I don't know the art of war at all." It's all thanks to you and the Wei family. Wei Yangyang took the lead for the first time, and after commanding this battle to protect the country, she seemed to have grown up a few years old overnight, and actually learned to encourage people: "Governing state affairs is different from fighting wars. You have a peaceful personality and like Dayang culture, and you will be a good monarch. Although it was the height of summer, in the desert, people could die during the day, but it was so cold at night that people shivered, so Wei Yangyang shivered: "It's a little cold, go back." Seeing that her eyes were a little dark, apparently for the purpose of studying the war, she had not slept well for several days and nights, so she was bold and wanted to hug her. Wei took a step to the left and dodged.

This girl has no heart and lungs on weekdays, and she loves to talk and laugh, but today for some reason, she said very little: "Go back and rest." As he spoke, he went downstairs to his bedroom. Cheek Bo pulled her by the hand: "Yangyang, can I have a few words with you." She had to stop: "Okay." Cheek Bo Yifan pondered carefully, and his expression was very solemn: "If I become the lord of the country, I will be a vassal to Emperor Dayang and a vassal country, I don't want to see war again." When the time comes, I will ask Emperor Dayang to marry you to me, okay? Wei Yangyang looked up at him: "What did you say?" Cheek Bo Yifan was completely immersed in his own joy, and he didn't see that Wei Yangyang was a little unhappy: "I am a minister to Dayang, and I want you to come and marry me." Aren't you all like this in the Central Plains Dynasty? ”

Wei Yangyang looked up at him, and the words were sonorous: "My surname is Wei, and I am the granddaughter of Wei Guan Ying, the Silent Destruction of the Four Kingdoms, the daughter of Wei Shuping, the third watch of the Yama King, and the sister of Wei Bingyue, the third sword. Our Wei family's sixth-generation Pingyuanbo and seventh-generation Haixi generals, how can I come to make peace? You have been in Dayang culture since elementary school, you won't not understand this truth, right? Seeing her solemn expression, it was very rare: "I, I apologize to you, I didn't mean that." In the past, the general guard would never marry you to me, but in the future, the two countries will be friendly, and the people will live and work in peace and contentment. Wei Yangyang snorted coldly: "You are willing to be a subject country for the sake of the people on the border between Hayes and Dayang." What does it matter if I marry you or not? If I don't marry you, will you continue to wage war with the Great Sun? What is the rationale for this? Cheek Bo Yifan continued to apologize: "That's naturally not, but it's a good thing for everyone to be happy, isn't it?" I promise you that I will be good to you in this life and in this life. Wei Yangyang didn't want to hear him say anything more, so he turned around and walked towards the stairs.

Cheek Bo followed her, and asked as she went down the stairs in a hurry: "Luyang, why, is it because of my father or my brother?" Wei Yangyang turned his back to him and didn't stop: "It's neither, just because I'm the daughter of the Wei family." Seeing that she was unmoved, he was in a hurry, so he dragged her, and then took her over and held her in his arms.

Although Wei Yangyang doesn't understand the love of men and women, he also knows that this is extremely inappropriate: "You let go." Cheek Bo Yifan buried his head in her ear and said softly: "I am willing to swear in front of the Wei family army, I will not have a concubine in my life, only you are a queen." If I break my oath, let them pierce my heart with ten thousand arrows, okay? ”

The oath he made was not heavy, but obviously Wei Yangyang did not accept this: "You can set up whoever you like, and Wei Jiajun can still control you marrying a daughter-in-law?" If you don't let go, if you don't let go, I'll beat someone. Since he received the purse from Wei Yangyang that time, he has always thought that the other party also has affection for him, and now when he hears her say this, he thought that the girl wanted to refuse and welcome, not only did not let go, but also hugged her tighter, and then lowered his head to kiss her. Wei Yangyang didn't know what he was going to do, but the experience of running around and being frightened since she was a child caused her to never allow anyone to get so close to her. So she subconsciously stretched out her right hand and slashed at the back of her cheek Bo Yifan's neck, so painful that the other party hit the railing of the stairs at once, making a cry of "oops, oops".

Wei Yangyang didn't really want his life, seeing him holding his chest, he was angry and distressed: "Look, why don't you listen to what I say." said that if you don't let go, I'll beat someone, and you still don't let go. Now it hurts, right? Cheek Bo rubbed the sore spot pitifully: "How do I know, you will really fight." Wei Yangyang was even more strange: "If you don't really fight, is there a fake fight?" Are you okay? He still did not give up: "You, you are very gentle now, you rarely do this." It's completely different from facing an army of ink paintings. The moon is on the willow tops, and people are about after dusk. On this night of celebration in the whole city, a pair of young men and women standing in the moonlight, above the palace, should have been a beautiful scenery. But Wei Yangyang is obviously not a good date. Seeing that Cheek Bo Yifan was not injured, she ignored him and walked back on her own.

Early the next morning, before dawn, Cheek Bo Yifan put on the court clothes of the lord of Hays and prepared to attend the ceremony of the new monarch. Wei Yangyang pretended to salute him: "I've seen the Maharaja." This court dress is so magnificent. He also laughed, thinking that he would soon be the lord of the Hays country, and the two of them came to Japan for a long time: "When my ceremony is completed, come back and eat together." What he said was the trivial life of ordinary couples, but in his opinion, two people who love each other eat porridge and side dishes together, which is also a very happy thing. Wei Yangyang also agreed very happily.

He put his mind at ease, walked out with a smile on his face, and accepted the visit of the hundred officials. Because the war had just ended, the ceremony was also very simple, but the ceremony was just as indispensable, and Rory carried out it all morning. When Cheek Bo Yifan was dizzy and accepted the worship of the hundred officials, and returned to the harem, he didn't see her come to greet him. He hurriedly asked, "What about Miss Wei?" The palace man replied to him: "Miss Wei said that someone came to pick her up, and she left." We didn't dare stop it. Cheek Bo Yifan was a little flustered: "When did you leave?" The palace man replied, "Just walked for a while." It's not been a quarter of an hour. He hurriedly called for someone to bring a horse and rode it out of the palace. He didn't know much about riding horses, but when he saw that Wei Yangyang was riding well, he also practiced seriously, just so that one day he could ride a horse with her in the sunset. But I didn't expect that this day had not yet arrived, and the two people were going to separate again, and I didn't know when they would be able to meet.

He hurried to the city gate, jumped off his horse, ran all the way up the city tower, and saw Wei Yangyang just out of the city. In the distance, there was the Wei family army escorting the Dayang envoy back, and she was riding towards the Wei family army. Cheek Bo shouted to her: "Lang! Wei Yangyang stopped, looked back at him at the voice, and smiled as usual: "You are already a new monarch, I should go." "He knows the truth of long nights and dreams. With this separation, if she is married off after she goes back, I am afraid that it will be difficult to see her again in this life: "Isn't the car of the Great Yang Envoy there?" They haven't gone far yet, and when you come back, I'll propose to the envoys, okay? "Although Hayes is a small country, he is the lord of the country, and he stands at the head of the city with the dignity of the lord of the country and begs bitterly, and ordinary girls are afraid that they will be moved by his sincerity.

But Wei Yangyang is obviously not an ordinary daughter who grew up in the boudoir. She looked up at him, and there was no emotion in her eyes: "That day, you looked at me under the Bamboo Tower, weren't you scared?" He was speechless for a moment, not knowing how to answer. Wei Yangyang didn't care what he thought in his heart, he just spoke to himself: "You don't know about the atrocities of the water devils. But you grew up in peace and security in Bibo City, unlike me. Actually, I'm not the girl you think I am, am I? You want a quiet, elegant, or dignified queen, probably like my aunt. But I'm different from others, I'm Wei Yangyang, and I've been so ruthless since I was a child. If I don't kill him, he will come and kill me. At that time, he came to beat me, but I was afraid that he would be more cruel than I thought. My father said that Ci is not in charge of the army, and this is the truth. Farewell, Maharaja. She didn't look back, and ran in the direction of the Wei Jiajun.

Her light blue dress, in the light of the sun, became farther and farther away.
