Chapter 79: Half a Month of Storms
Of course, there's a small problem: there are no mounts.
Wherever the Heroic Spirit passed, the alienated creatures also retreated, and the Blackwater City Army could no longer use the sand monster as a horse as before, so they could only take one step at a time.
It took more than ten days to walk like this, until the food and water were almost exhausted, and the team finally reached the end of Hongya Road.
When he got there, the Gale Army stopped escorting, and simply turned around and left, ignoring the friendship of his peers for half a month.
Along the way, they are silent companions. From the commander to the small soldiers, He Lingchuan had never heard them say a word.
After taking a shower, He Lingchuan changed his clothes and rushed to the dining room.
The family of three had already sat down, He Chunhua was telling the second son about the trip to the Panlong Desert, and Mrs. Ying listened and ate with a smile, and her appetite was great.
He Lingchuan sat down and took a big white-flour steamed bun: "Dad, did you say that I saved everyone?" ”
Mrs. Ying couldn't help but laugh: "What a thick skin! ”
When her family returned safely, she was in a good mood, and personally gave He Lingchuan a large piece of pork belly marinated to crispy rotten, let him sandwich it into the steamed bun, and stuffed two slices of pickled sour radish just right.
He Lingchuan ate with a mouth full of oil, and said vaguely: "I am in the desert, and this is what I think about day and night!" ”
The He family was accustomed to his hungry ghost-like appearance, and He Yue said: "What about the broken knife, I'll take a look." ”
He Lingchuan casually drew a knife and put it across the table: "Be careful of cuts." ”
He Yue carefully stroked the blade of the knife, his hand was cold, and he felt a stinging pain, so he couldn't help but let out a "oh", stuffed his finger into his mouth and sucked it twice.
He Lingchuan glared: "Clumsy! ”
He Yue was innocent: "I didn't touch the blade at all, and I was actually cut." ”
He Lingchuan stretched out his fingers and rubbed back and forth on the body of the knife, and even flicked the blade, causing a sonorous sound, and his fingers were still intact: "You are more squeamish than your mother-in-law." ”
For so many years, He Yue had long been immune to his cynicism, and took the initiative to change the subject: "Brother, Panlong City is so big, how could you find out that this knife is the lifeblood of the black dragon?" ”
He Lingchuan was so energetic, while hyping up his unforgettable and meticulous heart, he swung his knife and slashed the cold light all over the hall.
Crackling, the clay pot four feet away shattered in response, and clear water flowed all over the ground.
He Lingchuan didn't use any real power.
Mrs. Ying's face was pale: "Stop, this is a place to eat, you shouldn't play with weapons!" ”
This knife is too fierce!
He Lingchuan put away his knife and hurriedly asked the second brother: "By the way, you said that the traitors in Woling Pass have been pacified?" ”
"Exactly." He Yue had already reported to his father, and he didn't mind telling his brother again, "Actually, Nian Songyu and Sun Fuping were full of nonsense, before they arrived in Heishui City, the thieves in Woling Pass were wiped out by Wu Di and Ke Jihai, two generals, and it was impossible to cut down trees and build boats and go east along the river!" ”
He Lingchuan was stunned: "Then the 'Iron Bucket General' Zhao Rong is ......?" ”
It was precisely because Sun Fuping falsely reported the military situation that He Chunhua decided to follow them to Panlong City to find the legendary Dafang pot that could defeat the enemy, so as to help the official army pacify the thieves and defend Kyoto.
As a result, He Yue told him that the traitors couldn't get out of Woling Pass at all?
Then Xunzhou Mu and Sun Fuping sought to get the generous pot, what for?
"The Iron Bucket General is indeed dead. When Wu and Ke arrived with 100,000 elite soldiers, it happened that the thieves were fighting among themselves, and their strength was reduced by themselves. Rao is like this, it was also a number of fierce battles before and after, the two sides suffered heavy casualties, and we just narrowly won. He Yue smiled bitterly, "Sun Fuping only said a small half-truth. The truth and falsehood are mixed together, so that it is difficult to distinguish between people, and even my father is fascinated. ”
"No wonder!" He Lingchuan sizzled lightly: "No wonder Sun Fuping and Nian Songyu just arrived in Blackwater City, and they urged us to set off quickly, it turned out that they were worried that the East Road would suddenly be unblocked, and the true news would come over." ”
"The situation is very unfavorable for Da Sima, and if they want to take advantage of us, they have to make a time difference. Otherwise, as soon as the news of the capital comes, they will go from being guests to wanted criminals. ”
"What's the matter with Da Sima?" Intuition told He Lingchuan that this was the main thing.
"The elite soldiers and good generals were sent to the south, the capital was empty, and the great Sima Dong Haoming thought that there was an opportunity to send people into the palace to assassinate him, intending to rebel!" He Yue continued, "He has probably been planning for a long time, and he has a collection of 1,600 elite soldiers in several Zhuangzi on the outskirts of the city, and some of them are not under the name of Donglai Mansion, and they have not attracted attention. Early in the morning, Nanchengwei directly opened the door to let the Donglaifu army enter the city, and the guards also had internal responses, and directly led the two members of Da Sima's men to enter the palace and assassinate the king! ”
Just do it so hard? Da Sima is also a ruthless person. He Lingchuan wanted to give a thumbs up, but the action was out of place.
He Chunhua nodded: "Da Sima is high and powerful, the king is sick, if he succeeds in killing the lord, or he can call the lord sick and died, several internal historians forged an edict, so that Da Sima was ordered to assist the new lord and lead a hundred officials." At that time, he coerced the new lord to order the princes, and the matter was a foregone conclusion, and the generals might not dare to make any changes. ”
The battle between the heroes is nothing more than the words luck and potential. When the tide is gone, nothing can be done.
He Lingchuan didn't understand and asked, "Why don't you poison it?" The white knife goes in and the red knife goes out, but it doesn't look like dying of illness. ”
"There are pharmacists around the king, and the Taoism is profound, and it is not feasible to poison him."
"The monarch is his son-in-law, won't Jiangshan still be his grandson in the future? Why is Da Sima so anxious that he has to usurp power in person? ”
He Chunhua was silent for a while before he said: "I heard that the relationship between this son-in-law is not good, the reason must be very complicated, it seems that there has been a contradiction recently: the northern demon country has repeatedly violated our realm, and the king asked to fight back resolutely, but Da Sima thinks that the national strength is weak and the beacon is raging, so it is not appropriate to use more troops, and it is best to discuss and appease." As far as I can see, the king and the great Sima have openly argued in the royal court at least four times for this reason, and afterwards the king was so angry that he did not eat, and called the queen of the east to scold her fiercely, and punished her for kneeling in the imperial garden for half a night. ”
If you can't win the old man, you will scold your wife, our king is really a man with a kang head. He Lingchuan scratched his head: "This is not a big deal, it is worth the rebellion of Da Sima." ”
He Yue shook his head: "Da Sima is dissatisfied with the current situation in the country, and thinks that the king's lack of governance has led to all kinds of evils, so he wants to replace him." ”
"I see, I just don't want to wait." He Lingchuan sighed deeply, "If you want to rebel, why can't you?" By the way, did he succeed? ”
"Nope. The king happened to go out that day, and stayed at the house of Duke Puwen all night, and kept it secret. Da Sima didn't know that he was in the palace, so he took people in to assassinate him as originally planned, but he fell short. The king got the news and escaped overnight...... cough, withdraw from the capital, retreat to Xiaoxi Mountain, and return to the king of Duqin with all the armies. ”
"Da Sima's rebellion happened on this occasion. Wei Ao, the governor of Xuanzhou, was the fastest to return to help, repelling Da Sima's attacks twice at Xiaoxi Mountain, and held out until Ke Jihai's army arrived. Seeing that there was no hope of success, Da Sima led the army back to the west and retreated to Huzhou. ”
