Chapter 18 The crown prince revisited Luoyang City The road to Beijing was so difficult
"Your Majesty! Damn the minions, Your Majesty.... ”
"Hula~."
The officers and soldiers and family members who were still vigorous at the right time were all trembling and kneeling on the ground in a blink of an eye, and they didn't dare to raise their heads or come out of the atmosphere, all of them kept kowtowing and begging for mercy like pounding garlic!
"Humph! Those who don't know are not to blame, get up! ”
Zhao Guangyi's sleeves flicked, and his face was terrifyingly gloomy.
"Slaves should die, minions should die....
How dare these officials and the stewards and servants of the Prince's Mansion get up? Still on his knees begging for mercy.
However, the surrounding onlookers and applauded the people, seeing that the hero in their minds was actually His Majesty the Emperor, they were very excited, and they knelt down to pray for Emperor Zhao Guangyi:
"Long live the emperor! The emperor is auspicious! Long live the emperor, long live, long live...! ”
"Alas, old man, let you see the smile, go back to the palace!
The Prince's Mansion forcibly occupied and demolished people's land and houses, and thoroughly investigated to the end! The personnel involved in the prince's mansion will be severely punished, and we would like to return the prince's reputation and innocence!
Oh yes, this case will be handed over to Jingzhao Mansion to investigate! Kan'er has been resting at home for a few days, right? Let him go back to Jingzhao Mansion immediately to report on his work! ”
After Gao Qiong arranged for the guards to go to deliver the decree, in the eyes of all the people who were looking forward to it, Zhao Guangyi finally made up his mind:
"Proposed purpose: Xuan - In view of the emperor's compassion and understanding of the suffering of the people of the world, he is now granted amnesty to the world, and the implementation of the ban on iron is suspended, and I hope that the people of the world can abide by their nature, do not cause trouble, and live and work in peace and contentment, and the monarch and the people will be happy and share the peace and prosperity!"
"Ah, we heard you right, right? We can use iron again! We don't have to move out of the Imperial Capital...! My emperor is wise, my emperor is sage, long live my emperor, long live long live...! ”
On the way back to the palace, Taizong saw thousands of people in the imperial capital who were kneeling on the ground and sincerely asking for peace for themselves...!
The panicked crown princess - when Li Wanning, the daughter of the imperial prince Li Qianpu, and Zhang Liangdi, the prince's partial house, and other direct family members of the prince, stumbled and ran to meet the driver, Taizong Zhao Guangyi had already left and returned to the palace.
What they saw was the big carriage that had been smashed by the emperor's own hands, and the half-demolished wall of the people's houses that stretched for miles and was in disarray...!
"It's over, it's all over...!"
Zhang, who was extremely scared and desperate, sat down on the ground all at once...!
In the remote mountains and forests on the outskirts of the imperial capital, dozens of men, women, and children are anxiously waiting. Suddenly, someone was pleasantly surprised: "Look, it's coming, it's coming, she really didn't lie to us, she really came...!" ”
Not long after the words fell, a woman with a scarf and hat on her head paced and appeared in front of everyone!
"Madame, the money you promised us?"
When several people with greedy faces saw this woman appear, they hurriedly stepped forward to ask.
"Don't worry, it's not bad, it's not a point, I'll give it to you right away...!"
After the woman's yin and yang weirdness finished speaking, she stretched out her hand and waved, and suddenly, more than a dozen black-clothed masked people appeared from all directions;
"You, what do you mean? We don't want any money, let us go...! ”
Several people had a premonition that something was wrong, and they begged to leave with sad faces;
"Asking for money? Want to go? Hmph, next life! The master has an order, kill! Not a single one to stay! ”
The woman gave an order, and all the men in black magically appeared in their hands, delicate and small multi-shot crossbows!
"Whoosh~Whoosh~Whoosh~....
Flying locusts and arrows and crossbows, regardless of the bitter pleading of the people kneeling on the ground, mercilessly pierced the bodies of one after another helpless people!
In a moment, the screams came to an abrupt end. And in this wood, there was a river of blood.
The bodies of dozens of men, women, and children are listed in one place!
"Set it on fire! Be careful, don't leave our traces! ”
The woman stopped talking, and then dropped a waist tag near the corpse.
And that waist card turned out to be the identity token of the prince's mansion.
Against the backdrop of the fire ignited by the destruction of the corpse, the faintly revealing contours of her face behind the thin gauze scarf she was wearing were actually the woman who was kicked away by the prince's mansion and whose life and death were unknown...!
Zhao Yuanxi, who was on the way back, of course, would not know what happened in the imperial capital.
When the army marched to the fork of the official road, he suddenly changed the path to the imperial capital, and insisted on returning to the imperial capital by the original route.
Because only in this way can he justifiably go to Luoyang, the capital of flowers!
But after passing through Luoyang City, Zhao Yuanxi stayed for three days and three nights, and there was no sign of returning to Beijing from Luoyang, which means "happy and not thinking about Shu"!
Just because, there is a Wang Jixun here; In particular, there is a Peony Pavilion here!
The red dust is vast and deep! That man is not a romantic boy!
Han Xiang, who was successfully recommended to the crown prince Zhao Yuanxi by Yin Lu Shangyang of Gwangju Governor, was full of ambition to follow the prince and be fortunate to meet the master and show his lofty ambition to assist the country and the people!
The policy of forbidding iron is what he offered.
It's just that this policy is not completely treated equally in the world as he proposed. It's just that it was taken out of context and only aimed at the common people and the people who have no power and power!
So there was the ensuing public grievances, civil sufferings and turmoil! As a result, Zhao Yuanxi blamed him for all the faults, thus responsibly reprimanding and alienating him.
Now, Han Xiang saw that the prince was actually obsessed with the place of fireworks and willow lane, driven by extreme disappointment and frustration, he was disheartened and quietly left Luoyang City alone, wandering around aimlessly.
On this day, when he inadvertently stepped into Erxian Mountain in the depths of the Funiu Mountains, a melodious and graceful ancient Xiao song suddenly appeared in the distance, calling and leading him like a dream, and he paced irrepressibly...!
In the Wudang Xuanyun Cave Mansion, the fire dragon real person nervously asked his junior brother Xuanhu:
"Senior brother, why do you think this is? This young man has been in a coma for more than a month, why hasn't he woken up? Didn't you break your brain? ”
"That day, senior brother, I was resting on the top of the cliff. When he was shocked to find that there were wicked people at the foot of the mountain, it was too late, and it was too late. A woman and three children were stabbed several times and died on the spot. I could only save him from the knife of the man in black, but I saw it clearly: the boy was not hurt by any attack, but was thrown out and hit the ground with his head first.
I guess he hasn't woken up for so long, he must have broken his brain... ”
Regarding the chatter of the senior brother, the Venerable Xuanhu did not say whether it was or not, but he was still thinking deeply:
"How weird? I tried my best to heal, but I couldn't get a glimpse of the reason.
Could it be that if it is as the senior brother said..."
What the two didn't know was that they were grieving the teenager's unconscious. In a blank and endless space, the boy was confused and lonely.
"Who am I? How am I here? Where is this, where am I going... ”
In a remote mountain col, an old man with crippled feet and an old woman with extremely ugly and obvious mental problems were kindly taken in by the only dozen or so hunters here.
Ten days later, their relative, the old man's younger brother, also an old man, drove an old carriage that was too dilapidated to be worn out, and finally came to pick them up!
The two brothers left a few pieces of loose silver taels for the well-wishers, and after thanking them again and again, they left the small mountain village!
As soon as he got on the road, the old man with crippled feet changed his tired appearance, and couldn't wait to recover the middle-aged man's voice:
"Brother Gongsun Xian, how is it, what is the situation in the outside world now?"
"Brother Sima, it has spread in the martial arts, the Gwangju Bloodbath and the previous massacres in various states were all committed by the Underworld Sect and its subordinate forces, the Blood Alliance Killer Group;
And the bold and reckless Underworld Sect and all its affiliated forces were all ambushed and suppressed in the battle of Wulongling, which ambushed and assassinated the prince Zhao Yuanxu of the current dynasty!
The leader of the Blood Alliance Killer Group would actually be a member of the Dongfang family, and he was also the most outstanding figure of today's young generation, Dongfang Aoyu, the head of the Ten Sons of Martial Arts, and of course, his sister Dongfang Yanran, who had always been inseparable from him!
Dongfang Bai, the patriarch of the Dongfang family, stood up and publicly stated as soon as possible:
"As early as a few years ago, the Dongfang family expelled the brother and sister from the family. These two brothers and sisters are no longer from the Dongfang family, and what they do has nothing to do with the Dongfang family!
And the reason for the expulsion and removal of them is: unspeakable brothers and sisters are overly affectionate! Such an unruly scandal, if it weren't for the fact that what the brother and sister are doing now has seriously affected the family's reputation, he would not have exposed this heinous filthy scandal in the Dongfang family to the world...!
After the battle of Wulongling, among the corpses of many bandits, the Hades King, his four protectors, the ten hall masters, Dongfang Aoyu and others were all found at the scene! Only that Dongfang Yanran was able to escape!
But this is the case, the high bounty wanted order against us, that is, the bounty order of the mysterious and unknown force, not only has not been revoked, but it has intensified. Because it has been on the [Ximen Yunmeng Golden Chisel List] that the martial arts people talk about and will never give up if it is not completed! ”
"What, one of the top ten martial arts families, known as the most impartial and selfless in the world, and the most difficult to mess with, the Ximen family's fair and forensic testimony list?"
Hearing this, Sima Chi, who looked like a crippled old man, was stunned!
According to legend, the Ximen family has lived in seclusion in the beautiful Yunmengling for generations.
And this [Ximen Yunmeng Golden Chisel List] is the martial arts inherited by their Ximen family, and they think that they are worthy of the family's responsibility, various grievances, hatreds, rewards, wanted, etc.; The seal is engraved on the cliff of Yunmengling, known as Chrysostom and Jade Words, words must be done, words are chiseled, and words must be fruitful.
This list is used to judge, promise and guarantee that in the martial arts, those high reward amounts can be successfully accepted and reach the hands of the applicants! In the martial arts, it has always had the lofty weight of its promise that it is heavier than Mount Tai! ”
"Who's to say it isn't? It's really a big deal, and it actually alarmed the gold chisel list, their Simon family's fair gold is not low, I heard that it has always been higher than their fair list, because this can ensure that they will never lose their trust in the list, I can't imagine that our brothers are quite valuable on the head~, I want to catch myself and sacrifice it! ”
Hearing Sima Chi's consternation, Gongsun Ce also smiled bitterly and laughed at himself!
"Hungry, hungry..., stuffy~stuffy~... Eat, eat...! ”
In the broken carriage, Wang Ermazi, who was disguised as an ugly woman by Sima Chi at this moment, made noise like a child again;
The name Wang Er Mazi was not long after they left Gwangju City, when they encountered two robbers who did not know whether they were alive or dead and wanted to commit murder with knives on the way, he was frightened and stimulated, and when he suddenly sobered up, he claimed to have reported his name.
Unfortunately, not long after that time, his illness seemed to have worsened. If you use the same method, even if you put the steel knife on his neck, he won't react at all!
It was also after that time that Sima Chi and Gongsun Ce were sure that there were really enemies and traitors in the family. Because: the name Wang Er Mazi, they only passed it on to the people in the family.
But soon, the name Wang Er Mazi, along with their names, was on the wanted list of martial arts bounties! As a result, they had to act cautiously, temporarily hid and hibernated, and Gongsun Ce would make a decision after finding out the accurate news first!
"Be good, be obedient, don't make trouble! There are dried meat and dry food in the package in the car, you eat some cushions first, and then buy you delicious food when you get to the place, otherwise, if you are disobedient, you will be left here to feed the wild dogs! Sima Chi pretended to be fierce and coaxed the half-hysterical and half-crazy Wang Er Mazi.
This trick is also a hundred tried-and-true tricks.
I don't know why this Wang Er Mazi is particularly afraid of dogs, as soon as he hears the word 'dog' or sees a real dog, he is particularly excited and obedient, and he is full of energy to do whatever he wants! This is also what Gongsun Ce accidentally discovered when he went to a farmer's house to spend the night!
"Uh-huh~."
Hearing that he was going to feed him to wild dogs, Wang Er Mazi immediately agreed to sit in the carriage obediently and not make a fuss!
"Brother Sima, before I rushed back to pick you two, I managed to get in touch with the dark pile arranged by my grandson's family in the martial arts, and now I will rush to the location of the joint. Hope everything goes well...! ”
"I really hope that we can complete this escort mission sooner, and I can go home earlier and spend more time with my beloved wife...!"
Sima Chi's gaze gradually became a little blurred. His mind is full of the appearance of his beloved wife with a big belly and about to give birth...!
Following the road map given by the family's secret pile, Gongsun Ce traveled for several hours in a row before approaching the designated location.
This is a remote and dangerous mountain forest called 'Wild Boar Forest'.
For the sake of safety, Sima Chi and Wang Er Mazi found a secret and safe place to hide nearby, and Gongsun Ce rushed to the joint location non-stop...!
