Chapter 16: Don't Be Crazy
Holy City.
Yueya took off her cloak and walked to a majestic mansion.
After handing over the greeting post, he walked into the extremely luxurious living room with the porter, where the crispy roast lamb was on the table, and there were countless colorful robes and skirts flashing in the middle.
She hid the anger in her eyes very well, her grandmother was sad in the Western Regions, but Hu Yanshou was leisurely in the Holy City, is this fair?
"You are?"
A slightly chubby old man in a purple robe and a gold belt walked slowly, and it was Hu Yanshou, the powerful judge in the center.
He is a typical red-phoenix eagle with a hooked nose, and when he moves his lips, he will pull the wings of his nose and forehead, like an Ouroboros walking under the skin of the face.
"The granddaughter of the month sanctions." Yueya replied respectfully.
Hu Yanshou frowned deeply, and the central ministers avoided contacting the feudal officials.
But it's all here, so you can't drive people out.
"Talk inside." He paced around a few times, came to the cramped and hidden tea room, and looked back at Yue Ya who was close behind:
"Congratulations to the Yue family, there is a Tianjiao who stirs up luck."
"There's no such thing as moon invincibility." Yue Ya retorted coldly.
Hu Yanshou was not angry and arrogant, and said in a deep voice:
"If you deceive the king, you should be beheaded!"
Whether it has nothing to do with him, he just wants to know the purpose of this trip.
The attitude of the woman in front of her was not respectful at all, as if she had come to ask the teacher for sin.
"Are you questioning the old man?" is worthy of being a treacherous and cunning central minister, and just by observing, he can deduce Yueya's emotions.
"That's right." Yueya directly picked out and said, "Does the Judge still have an impression of Qiuzi City?" ”
Hu Yanshou sat on a low stool, calmly poured a pot of tea, and said softly:
"It's old, could it be that those hundreds of white-headed old men haven't died yet?"
"It's dead, and there's only one guard named Gu Changan left." Yueya tried her best to restrain her anger, and then stared at him:
"The lonely city still stands in the Western Regions, and the Tang Dynasty flag is planted in the territory of half a mile outside the city, and it is the loss of soil that causes the abyssal luck to ripple."
Hu Yanshou's expression froze instantly, and the teacup snapped and smashed.
"Say it in one go!" His eyes were as sharp as a needle.
"Zhe Lansu was forced to run away, and my Yue clan lost four thousand soldiers."
Looking at the pampered old man's increasingly bleak face, Yueya continued to make up for it ruthlessly:
"You heard it right, Gu Chang'an, a Han slave with one person and one sword, killed four thousand soldiers and thirty guards, and I don't know how many people died on the side of Zhelansu."
Hu Yanshou clenched his fists, his horizontal eyebrows and muscles trembled, just like an angry-eyed King Kong, and said gloomily:
"Absurd, bizarre, fantastical."
"What's the point of making up a ghost story?!"
Yueya stared at him.
"Joke!" Hu Yanshou adjusts his emotions and calms down:
"Tell the mountain ghosts? One person and one sword can kill through the army, and the demon of hell can't do it! ”
Yue Yayu's cheeks were cold, and the voice that was almost drawn from the cavity:
"I've traveled thousands of miles, and I've exhausted seven horses on the way, just to tell a joke to a high-ranking judge, huh?!"
Hu Yanshou was caught off guard, fell back in fright, and sat on the ground with a paralyzed buttocks.
He could tell that it wasn't a fraud at all, these words were like a bolt from the blue!
"No one wants to stay out of this mess." Yueya's eyes were gloomy.
The Yue clan has already deceived the king, and is still afraid of offending the old man Huyan?
Grasshoppers on the same rope will either work together or die together!
Zhelan old dog runs fast, you Huyan old horseman can't run!
"What kind of mess, does it have anything to do with the old man?" Hu Yanshou got up calmly, pretending to be calm and tidying up his sideburns.
"Who was the last Seven Thousand Miles sanctioner?" Yueya sneered.
Hu Yanshou is not shocked:
"The sins are all in Zhenlansu, he has failed the high hopes of the empire, and he is ashamed of the crown of the gods, so he can only judge himself."
"Your grandmother has lost half a mile of the empire's territory, and it is already an unforgivable sin, and the old man will plead to the center and try not to affect the Yue family."
Yue Ya was angry, looked at the mural in the tea room, and said coldly:
"You've picked it clean, haven't you?"
"Or else?" Hu Yanshou asked rhetorically, his emotions suddenly lost control, and he roared fiercely at the corner of his eyes:
"Rubbish!"
"How can Zhelansu still have the face to live in the world!"
"The old man left office, and only the old, weak, sick and disabled ...... were left in the lonely city"
"Why don't you kill?" Yueya intercepted him.
Hu Yanshou opened his mouth and suddenly laughed distortedly.
Do evil!!
"Every time a person is promoted, he is still the judge of the decision-making level of the empire, and he is in a hurry to run into the holy city on eight legs, so why do he care about the little trouble in front of him?"
"You could have completely eradicated it at the beginning, but because of a single thought, it created irreparable consequences."
Yueya stated unhurriedly that this was what her grandmother had taught her.
That's right, it happened to be Hu Yanshou's psychology at that time.
He hung his head in despair, as if fate was playing tricks on him.
The moment he received the edict, he had already forgotten about the matter of seven thousand miles, no matter from any point of view, the successor Zhelansu would help him deal with Qiuzi City.
"Gu Changan is really so shocking?" Hu Yanshou's eyes were round and unbelievable.
Yueya was silent, disgusted to describe how terrible Hannu was.
"Hahahaha...... One man is creating an epic miracle! Hu Yanshou's green muscles were bulging, and his tone was hysterical.
But if there is a choice, the old witch will not deceive the gods.
And Zhe Lansu, that old brute, would rather punish himself and demote himself than leave the quagmire.
Combined with everything, Hu Yanshou deeply understood that the seven thousand miles of the Western Regions were already a catastrophic volcano.
Can't explode!
"Block the news and keep the lid tight!" His lips squirmed, and he had lost his threat.
No amount of intimidation can change the fact that he is guilty.
Once exposed, with the resources of the power field and the relatively small number of crimes, he is likely to be spared from Ling Chi, but he will definitely lose his official hat.
It took him to climb to this position at the age of sixty-five, and he was one step closer to becoming a supreme minister, what is the difference between having no power and dying?
"Then please borrow soldiers." Yueya said in a deep voice.
Hu Yanshou stared at her coldly, and his tone was rough and angry:
"The old witch is a feudal official, the old man is in the center, and he also borrows soldiers, what does the old witch think?!"
"Sooner or later, I will be killed by your group of insects, why is the old man wrong?"
Seeing that he still felt innocent, Yueya scolded him:
"Zhelan old dog took over your mess, isn't he innocent? Grandmother is cheated and more innocent than you! ”
"It's impossible to borrow troops." Hu Yanshou's face was shrouded in clouds, and he said in a deep voice:
"Allocate money and food, and we must eradicate the lonely city!"
"Can the grain pile up Gu Chang'an?" Yueya also knew that borrowing troops was pure nonsense, just a bargaining chip.
"The weapon, as well as the three masters of the upper three grades, must be masters who can easily crush the Peach Blossom Sword to support the dead!"
Hu Yanshou did not refute:
"Weapons can be given, and masters need time to arrange."
"Let them come to the Western Regions as soon as possible." Yueya said solemnly.
As my grandmother expected, the old man of Huyan was also cowardly and afraid.
The tea room fell into a long dead silence, and the atmosphere was as rigid as iron.
Hu Yanshou paced back and forth, and suddenly said sternly:
"Persuade to surrender first."
Yueya was exhausted, leaned against the wall and said:
"Do you want to witness the bloody scene of him killing through an army of four thousand? What kind of persuasion do you give to the Han slaves who swore to die for the burial of the old dynasty? ”
Hu Yanshou shuddered, he didn't even dare to imagine that hellish scene.
The Chinese civilization that is falling apart still has such a stupid guardian.
"You must be persuaded to surrender, even if Gu Changan is dead, it doesn't mean that you can cover up the traces of the existence of the lonely city, and one day there will be an incident in the east window."
"At that time, we will be exempted from capital crimes, and living crimes will not be escaped!"
"Only surrender!"
"Just imagine, a lonely city that has been held for more than 60 years has changed hands, and such a world-famous figure who holds a torch alone in the dark has surrendered, as long as it is exposed, it can completely disintegrate the will of the Eastern Soil and the Central Plains!"
"Great Huaxia, who dares to say that it is more desperate than Gu Changan? Even he can't hold on, who has the courage to resist? ”
Hu Yanshou's eyes were burning, and he spoke firmly.
Yueya pursed her lips.
The old horseman on the dog day is also having a funeral, and he wants to take the opportunity to make political capital.
According to the blueprint he described, it is hoped that His Majesty will forgive them for their sins of deceitful kings, and even praise them.
Although I don't want to admit it, Gu Changan, the Hannu, is no longer just a person, but a great spiritual belief.
Hu Yanshou's eyes flickered, and he thought for a moment:
"The old man's officialdom supporters have a seven-grade sesame official, and I heard that his wife's ancestral home is Chang'an, and the family went to the holy city, a beacon in the world."
"Let her be persuaded to surrender?" Yueya asked.
"It's called Chang'an, Chang'an is closer and can penetrate the soul." Hu Yanshou made up his mind and added:
"The old man will do it, no matter what the result is, the woman must die in the Western Regions."
"I understand." Yueya's head.
This is also my grandmother's policy, you can go seven thousand miles, but not a single fly wants to fly out.
"If persuasion fails, don't act rashly."
"Wait for the master arranged by the old man to arrive, completely burn the lonely city without leaving a trace, and crush Gu Changan into powder."
After a pause, the powerful old man almost pleaded:
"Get things done and don't let everyone be doomed."
"The Great Barbarian Empire now sits on a territory of 20 million miles, as long as the Divine Continent is swallowed, we can create the Supreme Divine Kingdom, we can't die halfway up the mountain, we must receive glorious applause on the top of the mountain."
Yueya nodded heavily, her eyes staring at the flickering light.
Why is there such a desire for power? Because the empire after the favor of the Heavenly Dao -
Stronger than ever!
Being in it is a glory that is enough to shine for a thousand years, and her ambitions and dreams must not be ruined by Gu Changan's Han slave.
……
……
……
A bright moon hangs lonely in the desert.
After nearly four months, it is particularly long for the lonely city, for the figure of the watchtower to patrol back and forth, the peach tree has been seen thousands of times, fortunately, the peach blossoms do not change due to the four seasons, every day is bright red and lush, and has never withered.
"It's finally here." Gu Changan muttered to himself, he didn't know what the barbarian had been brewing after being silent for so long.
The yellow sand rolled up, hundreds of horses galloped through the desert, and stopped a few miles away, Yueya took off her golden helmet and looked coldly at the eye-catching blood-colored flag.
"Go ahead." She stared sideways at a dusty woman.
Where could the woman get used to the desert, her originally fair skin was chapped, the corners of her mouth were dry and peeling, and her hands were tightly clutched at the corners of her skirt.
She was held hostage here in a fog, and the idea instilled in her was persuasion.
"Go!" Yueya held the purple whip in her hand and made a gesture to pull it off.
Knowing that she had no ability to resist, the woman silently picked up the kettle and walked to the lonely city.
In just a few miles, I walked for more than an hour with only my feet, and the moonlight was darker and the chill was getting thicker.
All her grievances and fears turned into nothing after seeing the white figure at the head of the city, and turned to boundless shock.
"Get out!"
In the land close to Xuqi, Gu Changan jumped down and looked at her indifferently.
"I ...... I am from Chang'an. Against the strong wind, the woman spoke these words with force.
Gu Chang'an's face was expressionless, and he squinted at the barbarians in the distance, perhaps the familiar Central Plains accent, so he didn't draw his sword immediately.
It's good to listen to it.
"Persuaded?"
He walked over calmly.
Staring at this young and handsome face, the woman suddenly felt the urge to cry.
On the road to the Western Regions, she only regarded it as a myth and legend, and at that time, she couldn't listen to any noise because of fear.
But seeing this blood-stained lonely city, the man standing at the head of the city, her heart was affected by unimaginable impact.
She has also read poetry and books, and she has also read history, but let me ask Huanghuang Huaxia, who will be so tragic and lonely?
The most desperate thing is that no one in the Central Plains knows who this man is!
"You're so bitter." Her eyes were red, and she couldn't control her emotions.
"Are you really from Chang'an?" Gu Changan looked at her.
"Well, twenty years ago......" The woman stopped talking, not daring to say that the family had sneaked into the Holy City.
In front of this man, defection is not just humiliation, but a heinous crime in the depths of the soul.
She simply didn't have the courage to say it.
"Tell me about Chang'an, I haven't been there yet." Gu Changan smiled.
The woman's eyes were full of tears, and the man who was wandering alone in the abyss had a pair of clean and clear eyes, and she could vaguely see the color full of yearning.
She wiped away the remaining tears from the corners of her eyes, and the Chang'an in her memory came to mind, and she said:
"Chang'an, you can see the peony flowers in full bloom when you enter the city, blooming all over the four streets and eight roads, and the poet praises it as 'unparalleled in the world, the first fragrance in the world'."
"The most prosperous is the Suzaku Long Street, the wide and flat street is planted with rows of sycamores and weeping willows on both sides, the rich son rides through the street, and the poor scholar leans on the plane tree to read."
"The sky is bright, and farmers on the outskirts of Beijing are pushing carts of fresh fruits, vegetables, and vegetables; Young women gathered by the river to wash their clothes, and the warm breeze blew through their sideburns; There are also stalls of all kinds, and the smell of the whole street fills the whole street, and those who are shy in their pockets can only be deterred. ”
“……”
Gu Changan was fascinated by it, perhaps because of the woman's tactful and gentle tone, or perhaps because of the beautiful scenery she depicted.
He loves the taste of the market and the smiling faces of the people.
"You should take a look at Chang'an City." The woman whispered.
Gu Changan was silent for a moment and shook his head:
"I like Chang'an very much, just as I like my name, just by hearing it, I am already satisfied."
"Are you willing?" The woman is not only for her own task, but also for the pain of the heart.
"You should be a monument that can't be bypassed by the glorious history, but you are not cared for now."
"The sinking of Shenzhou is not because of you, not because of us ordinary people, nor because of the soldiers who defend the frontier, but because of the reckless behavior of those who are in high positions! It was the turmoil caused by Li Longji in the Tang Dynasty, and it was the five surnames and seven hopefuls who cared about the life and death of the people in vain, otherwise how could the Heavenly Dao favor the barbarians in the borderlands! ”
Gu Changan stared at her flushed cheeks with excitement, and said softly:
"I understand the truth, I'm not for the Li Dynasty, I want to save the common people."
"In the past years, in the darkest era of history, Chinese civilization still stands."
"But now the barbarians have the favor of the heavens!"
"This time the descendants of Yan and Huang have fallen, maybe it will be difficult to get up again."
"It's so hard, how can I go with the flow."
The woman was dumbfounded, as if she were facing a boulder in front of her, and she could not move it anyway.
"They said that as long as you surrender, the old and weak women and children in the city will be escorted to Chang'an by them, and the ashes of the Anxi Army will return to their roots, so that the heroic souls will return to their hometowns."
Gu Changan's body stiffened, wasn't this exactly what he dreamed of?
"You are not ashamed of being a hero, it is Shenzhou that is shameful, and it is the Central Plains that is faceless." The woman said from the bottom of her heart.
Gu Changan stared at Xuqi in a daze, turning his eyes to every inch of territory around him, and he said cautiously:
"Can you hug me?"
The woman did not hesitate, and gently hugged her not thin body, which had a faint fragrance of peach blossoms.
For the first time, Gu Changan felt the warmth from outside the city, and he silently hugged the woman for a long, long time.
Looking at this scene, Yue Ya and the others' eyes flickered, could it be that they were really moved by the people of Chang'an?
"Our descendants of Huaxia have all surrendered, is there still Huaxia?"
"I'm gritting my teeth and walking through a long dark abyss, and I can't give up halfway."
Hearing the hoarse voice, the woman was speechless.
"Actually, I want to die, but I can't die."
"I want to get a good night's sleep, I don't want to patrol the walls like a walking dead every day, but I can't rest."
"I also want to be saved, and I also want to live a normal life."
"I'm going crazy, I've told myself countless times not to be crazy, but I don't see a glimmer of hope."
Gu Changan chattered and seemed to be a little delirious.
"If you were someone else, you would have gone crazy a long time ago." The woman's tone was earnest, and she even mustered up the courage to pat him on the shoulder.
"My shoulders are very small, and I can't carry the Central Plains nation at the time of life and death, but I can still afford this territory now."
"Let's go."
Gu Changan suddenly left his arms and walked back to the city gate very calmly.
The woman stood dumbfounded, let out a long sigh, and was about to turn and walk back, when suddenly she bled to death.
"Useless Hannu!"
Yue Ya directly crushed the green Gu worm in her palm, and her eyes seemed to be quenched with poison.
The departing back made her mad with hatred, and the chips she opened were almost licked on her knees, but she was ruthlessly humiliated!
Suddenly, her eyes froze.
The moonlight shines on the city, and the snow-white figure dances, the posture is very elegant and forgetful, like a lonely lingering soul under the shroud of death, more like a magnificent picture.
Gu Changan suddenly turned around and roared hysterically towards the desert:
"Kill me!!"
The echo reverberated in the windy sand.
Yueya was terrified, and the unstoppable madness caused her to quickly turn her horse's head and gallop into the distance.
Yes, the next time you come back, it will take your eyes, your nose, your mouth, and every piece of flesh in your body!
