See the old man

Thunder and lightning hissed through the sky, and despair and clamor filled the ruins. The screams and sword shadows that had just dissipated bloomed in the wind again, the clash of weapons and the shouts of soldiers stimulated the senses, and the mutilated corpses were hideous and terrifying, and the thick blood was suffocating.

Ye Zheng rushed up to the city wall regardless of the obstacles, standing on the city tower in white clothes, which was so indifferent compared to the battlefield of flesh and blood.

"So you've been lying to me all along." There was a sad determination in the trembling and hoarse voice. Looking at the battlefield filled with gunsmoke and the city wall bombarded by artillery fire, she turned pale, and the city wall that she once thought was impregnable would also fall apart under the offensive of the rebels.

In the cold winter, the people of Sheng'an City are panicked, and Dongxiang, who has no intention of being in a corner of the government for many years, has raised troops to rebel, and the rebels are like broken bamboos, and within half a year, the soldiers are coming to the city.

The leader is the eldest grandson of Dong Xianghou, who is separated from her but Hongyan has been passing on the book for four years, writing lovesickness and complaining about tenderness.

It was Luo Wenshu that she had been waiting for for five years and was worried about every day.

He sat on a tall horse, his posture was upright, even if he was wearing heavy armor, he was like a tree with a branch, clean and calm, and he was still a young man in fresh clothes. Luo Wenshu saw Ye Zheng at a glance, the shock in his eyes flashed, and his eyes looking at her were full of worry, affectionate as always. His visible panic made Ye Zheng feel hypocritical and ridiculous. He spurred his horse to the city wall, climbed the ladder, and waited behind him while shouting for Luo Wenshu to come back, while letting the soldiers cover him. It was a heart-warming scene for the father and son soldiers to go into battle, and I, once a princess, was about to die in my family.

Looking at Luo Wenshu's rushing figure, Ye Zheng asked the Imperial Forest Army not to stop him. Luo Wenshu ran fast, and he grabbed Ye Zheng: "You are crazy!" The sword has no eyes, do you know it! What about Ye Shengyuan? How could he allow you to come to such a dangerous place! The Imperial Forest Army stared at him in a circle, he ignored it, staring at Ye Zheng with scarlet eyes, and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that she was okay, as if he had survived the catastrophe. Ye Zheng looked at this longing face for a moment, if it weren't for the cold armor on his body, she wouldn't believe everything in front of her, Luo Jinshu was still grabbing her shoulder, she couldn't help laughing: "Hahahahaha" She broke away from his hand and said with a contemptuous expression: "It's really you, Luo Wenshu." Her tone was cold, so cold that Luo Wenshu was in his bones. Luo Jinshu was silent, his face suddenly turned pale, he squirmed his lips, and he couldn't justify what he wanted to say. "Luo Wenshu, don't look like this, don't you feel disgusting yourself?" Ye Zheng took a deep breath and looked at the familiar and unfamiliar face in front of him: "Luo Wenshu, let me ask you a few questions, is it okay?"

Luo Wenshu put down the hand that was holding her: "You say." ”

"Back then, your father was impeached and supported the army to raise private soldiers with self-respect, and you told me that it was the Prince of Zong who framed him, but in fact it was not, right?"

"Yes."

"You pretend to be a loyal minister and ask yourself to behead, you expect that I will do everything possible to protect your life, this crime is directed and acted by you, in order for my father and the emperor to exile your father and son to the western border, so that you can hide troops on the border and collude with the surrounding rebels, right?"

"Yes."

"You have never let go of the hatred of your ancestors, and lied to me that the grievances of the previous generation have nothing to do with us, but in fact, you have long been disgusted with me" Ye Zheng suddenly took a half step back like a big realization, and his body was unstable several times, "For so many years, I have been vain and wronged, it seems to be sincere, but in fact, it is to borrow the prestige of my princess's mansion, to borrow the favor of my father and queen mother, to borrow my sincerity to you, and to protect your mother and relatives from being involved, you really bear the burden of humiliation." ”

As soon as the words came out, Luo Wenshu looked at Ye Zheng, affectionate and urgent: "Ye Zheng..."

"It doesn't matter anymore." Ye Zheng interrupted him, looking at him with a bland look in his eyes, without the slightest hatred. Luo Wenshu was stunned for a moment, feeling as if he was about to lose the most important thing in the world.

Ye Zheng's eyes froze, there was an indescribable determination, she pulled out the sword on Luo Jinshu's waist with her backhand, and the sword spike with a white jade tassel was still hanging on it, turned around and stepped forward to pierce Luo Wenshu's chest from behind, "If you just threw away the sword instead of putting it away, I wouldn't use it." Ye Zheng grabbed Luo Wenshu and jumped on the city wall, "Luo Lie! I give you two options, one! You retreat to the outside of Sheng'an City! Two! I pulled out my sword and threw Luo Wenshu down from here! You choose! Seeing this, Luo Lie suddenly became murderous, "Ye Zheng! Don't you dare! ”

"You think I don't dare." Ye Zheng raised his hand and pulled out the sword without hesitation, and the blood gushed out instantly, flowing along the armor without hurrying, Luo Wenshu looked at Ye Zheng, his eyes were indescribably emotional, and then he fainted, Ye Zheng didn't look at Luo Wenshu, and stared at Luo Lie tightly. Luo Wenshu is his last son, Luo Lie is close to the age of sixteen, without Luo Wenshu, it is meaningless for him to ask for this throne. Luo Lie's eyes sank, and he shouted: "Ye Zheng! Good! Count me out of sight! Luo Wenshu lost his life, and Tiansheng was buried with the whole country! Retire! ”

Seeing the enemy retreating, Ye Zheng looked at Wang Yi. "I'll personally send him to the doctor." Wang Yi said to Ye Zheng. Ye Zheng was like a deflated balloon, slumped on the ground, Wang Yi is the commander of the Imperial Forest Army, guarding the imperial city for many years, Luo Wenshu was weak when he was young, in order to protect him, I practiced martial arts with him, and put a lot of effort into it, but unfortunately, Luo Jinshu is not really weak. Wang Yi knew Luo Jinshu, maybe he was sure that he would not hurt Ye Zheng, so he didn't stop Ye Zheng from going up to the city tower.

Ye Zheng carefully wiped the sword clean with her skirt, she reached out to stroke the sword, from the tip of the sword to the hilt, and finally stopped on the sword spike, this is the year Luo Wenshu left, she gave him a birthday gift, there are many barbarians in the west, Luo Wenzhou is weak, she hopes that this sword will protect him on her behalf. She remembered that when she was six years old, she took Chunlan out of the palace secretly, and it suddenly rained heavily, and the shop was full of people hiding from the rain. The face of the miserable green boy is like a peach apricot, his posture is leisurely and elegant, and he is still lonely and thin.

There were two lightning bolts in the gray sky, and then it rained heavily, and the blood was washed away by the rain, but the smell of blood could not be dispersed. Ye Zheng sat on the ground, holding a sword without a scabbard, tears mixed with rain, Ye Zheng didn't know whether he should cry or not, there was a word from the palace, wait for the princess to calm down, and then take her back to the palace in the evening. After the people cleaning the battlefield ran forward and running, Ye Zheng sat on the ground in a daze, at this moment she felt that she was a little redundant, her brain was blank, only the sound of rain was rattling, and the rain slapped on the ground, which was more pleasant than the sound of stones hitting the city wall.

Luo Wenshu is a good general, he has never burned, looted and slaughtered the people all the way, seeing that the city was broken, he did not order the soldiers to charge without a cover, Wen Taowu is a leader, courageous, and his mood is even more incomparable.

Ye Zheng returned to the palace and went straight to the Xuanzheng Palace, Luo Lie's army surrounded Sheng An, eyeing the possibility of attacking the city at any time, and the emperor was discussing with the minister how to deal with it.

The Tiansheng Dynasty was invincible and had been in comfort for many years, and at most there was a rebellion on the border, but it would not alarm the dynasty. Most of the current imperial court are civil officials, and they have no actual combat experience on paper. The peaceful and prosperous times are more comfortable, and the rebellion is not an exaggeration to the elite soldiers who have been trained by the thieves for many years, compared to the wine bags and rice bags of the imperial court.

This is the disadvantage of the peaceful and prosperous world, few people can be prepared for danger in times of peace, the gentleman's ze, the fifth generation and beheaded, the same law of iron.

The princess's mansion was even more frightened, the oldest grandmother in the mansion had never experienced such turmoil, but Ye Zheng told Chunlan to go to the small kitchen to prepare some laba porridge, all the diet and daily life were the same as usual, she was waiting, waiting for someone to come.

Seeing that the anti-thieves were about to enter Beijing, General Ning Xiao, who was guarding the border pass, rushed back in time and forced the anti-thieves to retreat outside Sheng'an City. The anti-thieves attacked the city several times, and their morale was greatly reduced. Tiansheng's army was already weak, but it occupied a favorable location, and the war was stalemate for a while, and it was difficult to give up.

My father was born in a prosperous era and grew up in a prosperous era, without the baptism of war, plus people have passed the age of high spirits in their old age, and they have more compassion for the common people in their hearts, and they do not want the people to be displaced and suffer from war, and Ning Chenque alone is difficult to support an inch of wood, and there is no other way to give Dongxiang Hou a fiefdom, promising not to pay taxes to Tiansheng, in fact, it is also a disguised landcut.

Ning Chenque has been excellent in martial arts since he was a child, and at the age of eleven he followed the Marquis of Zhenbei to garrison the border pass, after the death of the Marquis of Zhenbei, Ning Chenque took over from the king of Zhenbei and stayed at the border pass, quelling many large and small rebellions, Ning Chenque is the only general in Tiansheng who can be called a battle-hardened general.

After this incident, the imperial court finally realized the seriousness of the lack of military generals in the city, but Ning Chenque Yin Xian wanted to inherit the will of the king of Zhenbei, and the border pass was difficult, and he had never mentioned returning to Sheng'an for so many years. The emperor commended him for his meritorious service in protecting the country, gave him a marriage and a mansion for the king of Jin, and ordered him to return to Sheng'an to accept the reward after handling the affairs of the military camp, and forcibly left him in Sheng'an.

The capital naturally wants to show sincerity, whether to stay or not, the article is all on this marriage. Although Ye Zheng is the only princess, Ning Chenque left Beijing at the age of seven, and Ye Zheng is unwilling to marry someone she has never met.

Besides, Ye Zheng has people he likes.

It is rumored that Ning Chenque, like the king of Zhenbei, regards fame and beauty as dung, who knows that this Ning Chenque ghost has changed his nature, not only agreed to the conditions, but also named Ye Zheng.

Today is the day when Ning Chenque returns to Beijing to recover his life. Ye Zheng came to the south study early, Gonggong Li stood in front of the door, saw Ye Zheng, Gonggong Li stepped forward, saluted, and said: "Princess, the emperor's order has been issued, the wood has been completed, this matter has been returned to the sky, the emperor is sick, princess, please go back." ”

Ye Zheng glanced at the open door of the south study, and his father stood in front of the desk with his hands up, looking up, thinking that he had been working hard these days. In fact, my father loves her the most, and if I don't see her, I am afraid that I will be soft-hearted, after all, he is the lord of a country, and he is a king first and then a father. Crossing the river pawn, abandoning the pawn to protect the car, which is more important, it is self-evident. Besides, she and that person were still difficult in the past, but now they have completely become a mirror.

Ye Zheng retracted his thoughts and said, "Father-in-law Lao is worried about taking care of his father carefully, and then greeting his father." ”

Out of the palace and into the carriage. Ye Zheng clenched his fists and said, "Go to King Ning's Mansion." ”

Chunlan looked at Ye Zheng puzzled, Ye Zheng took a sip of hot tea, and said slowly: "Wash the dust for Ning Chenque." ”

Ye Zheng knew Ning Chenque.

At the gate of the city, Ning Chenque rode a horse from the long street and galloped past, the cold wind was cold, and the corners of his pale blue clothes were blown up by the wind and floated behind him. It has been eight years since he left Sheng'an, and the prosperity of Beijing is as good as before, but many of the scenery has long since changed.

Ye Zheng arrived at the door early and waited, and Ning Chenque went to the palace to recover before he could come back.

Ye Zhengjel's body was a little stiff, and the sound of Ning Chenque's horse's hooves sounded, Ning Chenque was followed by several generals, all wearing thick armor, the armor was shining with metal, looking majestic and cold, these people should be his henchmen, and they would stay in Beijing with him. Ning Chenque's horse, the fur is brown, because of sweating and the cold weather, a layer of frost has formed, shining in the sun, and a pair of eyes the size of winter dates are bright. Carrying several boxes on horseback, with the familiar pattern of the capital's workshop on them, it seems that they had just been bought when they entered the city.

Ning Chenque picked up his things and turned over and dismounted, and his movements were done in one go. He didn't wear any armor, he didn't look like a general on his book, he was dressed in a thin pale cyan brocade robe, without any superfluous patterns, and his head was hung high in a delicate crown of white jade hair, and a pale green silk crown band hung down from both sides of the jade crown, which matched the color of his clothes.

Ye Zheng couldn't help frowning, thinking to himself how this person could wear so little.

Ning Chenque walked straight over, quite the demeanor of a son of a family, he didn't salute when he saw Ye Zheng, he didn't look at Ye Zheng, he walked straight over, and said: "No one in the house has been taken care of and abandoned for many years, and it has been delayed to go to the street to purchase and write necessities, and the princess's daughter should not wait like this." The warm voice was not apologetic, but it was also difficult to imagine what it was like to give orders on the battlefield. He is not the same as before, and now he looks very much like Luo Wenshu.

She came here to wait in the carriage of the princess's mansion, and she didn't hide it, Ning Chenque wouldn't know it, but she still told her to wait for so long, and said these hypocritical polite words.

"Looks like you're really going to stay in Sheng'an." Ye Zheng stood still and didn't look back.

Ning Chenque handed the things to the housekeeper and walked in front of Ye Zheng, he was much taller than her, leaned over slightly, and saw that her long eyelashes had frosted, and his eyes sank and covered his eyes: "It's not that I want to stay in Sheng'an, but I agree to stay in Sheng'an." Ning Chenque's gaze and Ye Zheng's were fixed, and he said in a slow tone: "Isn't it?" Chip. ”

Ye Zheng's eyes widened, his frozen face was incredible, even if he knew it, he shouldn't have said it: "Chips? You say me? Without waiting for Ye Zheng to finish speaking, Ning Chenque walked towards the mansion and said calmly: "Her Royal Highness Princess Xie takes Chenque to heart, and welcomes Chenque without fear of wind and cold. He stopped again, turned around, and said, "The dust will live in Sheng'an for a long time, and the princess will not have to wait for her to come back in the future, and she will not have to be restrained in entering and leaving her house." ”

Ye Zheng looked at the slowly closing door, Ning Chenque's back gradually walked away, I have to admit that Ning Chenque is good-looking, Ye Zheng thought of it at first sight, Zong Zhi is a chic and beautiful young man, looking at the blue sky with white eyes, as bright as a jade tree in front of the wind. High-spirited, flamboyant and complacent, it is the appearance of a major general.

is not like Luo Wenshu, full of literati arguments. Luo Wenshu, how can I forgive you, thinking of Luo Wenshu, he closed his eyes, the blade stabbed into his body, and the muffled sound of flesh and skin flying was still in his ears, which coincided with his always plain face, but he would smile when he saw her.
