Ranger 2: Eye of the Storm Chapter 11: When the fog clears, the smoke will rise
At this time, the shouting and killing sound from outside the Golden Court was getting closer and closer, and it was estimated that the number of the surrounding army was also in the thousands, and the dense crowd was not conspicuous in the dark night, but the torches in their hands had already illuminated most of the sky outside the Golden Court.
"This is the real force under Yang Guang. King Lanling said: "I have observed the real power comparison between Yang Guang and Yu Wenhua over the years, although Yu Wenhua has been developing his own supporters in the city, but in terms of military strength, he is actually unable to match Yang Guang. I'm still wondering, Yang Guang still has thousands of soldiers under him, and they are generally not stationed in the city, and at this moment, it is impossible for Yang Guang not to transfer them back. ”
"So Yang Guang is definitely not really dead this time. Baili Xuance said: "Master, we should go back and have a look." So the three of them returned to the dormitory.
The three of them looked at Yang Guang's corpse still hanging in the air, and still didn't find anything abnormal. At this time, there was a commotion outside, and it turned out that Yu Wenhua and others rushed back with a hurry. King Lanling made a gesture, Hua Mulan flew out of the window, Baili Xuance dodged and hid under Yang Guang's bed, and King Lanling hid again.
"Yang Guang! Damn Yang Guang! You dare to play tricks with me! I must break your body into ten thousand pieces!" Yu Wenhua was also a little panicked this time, and ran under Yang Guang's body and was about to send someone to take down the body. Suddenly, his face turned purple with shock, and he pointed to the corpse and said, "You······ You are Yang Xiu! You are Yang Xiu!"
King Lanling curiously walked to the other side and looked at Yang Guang's face again, and was suddenly startled. I saw that this person's face was no longer Yang Guang just now, but Yang Guang's younger brother Yang Xiu. At this time, even the king of Lanling was confused: "What's the matter? I obviously saw Yang Guang just now, why did he suddenly change people?"
Yu Wenhua was even more anxious, and hurriedly commanded his subordinates: "Yang Guang must be leading the army outside! Quick! Gather his subordinates, guard the city gates, and definitely not let Yang Guang's army come in! We are just like this, and when the eye of the storm kills over, Yang Guang's army will definitely be wiped out!" and his subordinates ran out with a roar.
Hua Mulan waited for Yu Wenhua and had no voice before she turned in again, and King Lanling also appeared: "Everyone was deceived by Yang Guang, this person is not Yang Guang." Yang Guang must have used some trick to let his brother suffer death on his behalf. ”
"Is it just sacrificing my brother's life like this?" Hua Mulan swept everything in the palace with contempt, and said, "Sure enough, in the eyes of the so-called royal family, family affection is worthless at all. ”
"Sister Mulan······ Master!" Baili Xuance finally poked his head out from under the bed and said, "Here······ There seems to be a mechanism here!" Mulan and King Lanling hurriedly went over and lifted the bed together, only to see a very obvious wooden board underneath that was dented. King Lanling said approvingly to Baili Xuance: "Thanks to Xuance, there must be some secret hidden here." "Just as he was about to smash it down, the mechanism actually took the initiative to change, and the plank moved down, revealing a passage.
King Lanling looked around vigilantly and said, "Put the bed down, let's go in and have a look." He and Mulan moved the bed back to its original position, and the three of them jumped into the dark passage one by one.
Although it was dim in the dark passage, King Lanling and Baili Xuance could still see clearly, and a bright light appeared in front of them before they had not gone far. King Lanling opened the shield on the blade of his fist and pushed it forward, pushing open a secret door, revealing a glimmer of light.
"You almost killed me this time. I saw a richly dressed person sitting inside, and his face was no different from Yang Xiu hanging outside.
"You're that Yang Guang!" Baili Xuance looked like he saw through everything, and said, "You have already sacrificed your brother, what else do you want?"
"Then how can it be called sacrifice?" Yang Guang said, his whole face suddenly changed, and his facial features and skin fluctuated violently. Hua Mulan and King Lanling were unmoved, but Baili Xuance was frightened by this sudden change, but he only trembled for a while, and then returned to nature.
In just a few breaths, Yang Xiu's face changed back to Yang Guang's appearance. Mulan couldn't help but ask, "How did you do that, and you were able to become someone else's appearance so easily?"
"It's simple. Yang Guang said: "There are countless flowers and plants with special functions in the Western Regions. And the most precious ones are all in my back garden. These flowers and plants are only for me to see on weekdays, but there are always some flowers and plants that can play a role at such a critical time. As he spoke, he took out a flower with pure black petals and said: "This is the most precious faceless chrysanthemum in the Western Regions, as long as it is stained with a person's blood and then taken again, it can become the appearance of the blood owner in a short time." This flower is extremely precious, even in the Western Regions, it is not much, and it takes ten years to complete the cultivation. If it weren't for such an emergency, how could I use two plants at once?"
"So you sacrificed your brother?" Mulan said coldly, "I hope you didn't force him." "Of course not, the fourth brother is voluntary. Yang Guang said proudly: "I have promised him that when I succeed, I will bury him with the gift of the emperor." My fourth brother didn't have much pursuit in his life, but he attached great importance to these etiquettes. After all, we are brothers, and once we change our faces, we can't tell the truth from the fake even if we have a Yu culture. ”
"Then what did you call us here?" said King Lanling, "Aren't you afraid that I will kill you?" ”
"No, no, no, Gao Changgong, you won't do such a stupid thing. Yang Guang said confidently: "Our current opponent is Yu Wenhua, and we must not kill each other." If you kill me, you won't have a chance to deal with Yu Wenhua anymore, do you want to watch Yu Wenhua and one person dominate the Golden Court? I'm asking you for help, my army is outside the city, only if I go out and give an order, they will attack. ”
"Ah, I see, it was you who made a mistake in your countermeasures and didn't succeed in getting out of the city, so you asked us for help. Baili Xuance pointed at Yang Guangdao.
"Boy, you're right. Yang Guang's face became gloomy, and he said: "I originally thought that Yu Wenhua's attack would not be so fast, and I would have enough time to withdraw from the city after the last dynasty." As a result, this guy was so anxious that he died early, so I didn't have a chance to get out of the city, so I had to use a backup plan and sacrifice my fourth brother. ”
"What do you mean? Isn't Yuwen Chengdu able to kill Yujuluo?" King Lanling was a little surprised, in his opinion, only Yuwen Chengdu could kill Yujuluo like that in the Golden Court.
"No, it won't. Hua Mulan said: "Yuwen Chengdu should have been looking for me to fight with me during that time, and he didn't have a chance to kill Yujuluo." "So ······ it" King Lanling understood: "In the end, Yu Juluo was still killed by you Yang Guang?"
"Not bad. Yang Guang nodded and said: "Yujuluo was ordered to commit suicide, but he committed suicide earlier, and I sent someone to kill all the people in his house." He's a loyal subordinate, I have to admit it. But in order to win Yu Wenhua and this old ghost, there must be sacrifices. Yu Juluo will not die, Yu Wenhua will not find an excuse, and he will not let his guard down on me. Isn't this exactly what I am afraid of if he is really in a hurry to send troops today? Yu Jura is indeed very good, he only asks that his family be sent out of the desert land safely, and what is so difficult for me, I easily agreed. And I did. His younger brother, who is used to being powerful in the city on weekdays, has not caused much trouble with others, and if he is still in the city, he has to be beaten to death. ”
"Original······ So that's ······" Hua Mulan's eyes were distracted, and she recalled why Yu Juluo was so desperate to kill herself before: "It turned out that he already knew that he was going to die, and his brother and the rest of his family were the only hope, and he died in my hands." ”
"But it's never your fault. King Lanling said: "Yuzan is used to being powerful, and he treats the Western Regions as a golden court, even if you don't kill him, someone else will do it." He also understood why there were obvious tear stains on Yukura's corpse, and why he knelt in front of the spirit of his family and died. This includes his apologies to his family, his love for his family, and his loyalty to the monarch, but it is sad and lamentable, no matter how loyal the generals are, they will never be treated sincerely by the king, and finally become a victim of the king's power struggle. And the maid's unfinished word "dry" does not symbolize Yu culture, but the meaning of the king.
"Okay, let's stop talking nonsense. Yang Guangdao: "Gao Changgong, you take me out of the city, what reward you want, I promise you everything." ”
"We're not that stupid when we take you out of town. Baili Xuance was the first to respond passionately: "You are so cruel to your most loyal subordinates, can you be good to us?"
"Silly boy!" Yang Guang said disdainfully: "The king has always been lonely, and he can have close courtiers, but it will definitely not last long." A king who is not suspicious is not a good king, and a king who is not cruel will eventually be killed by his own kindness. How can a hairy little devil like you understand?" He then turned his head to the King of Lanling and said in a pleading tone: "Gao Changgong, you can say whatever you want! Even if it is to help you fight back to Lanling City, I will definitely help you! I will never let you be the king without territory again." ”
"People who don't have a hometown!" Mulan and King Lanling responded in unison, and the two looked at each other and smiled. King Lanling was talking about himself, and Mulan actually remembered Li Xin's self-deprecating words.
"I've always been a person who doesn't have a hometown. King Lanling said: "The Golden Court is my last fetters to my family." Thank you for destroying it and allowing me to be myself without distractions. Yang Guang, Yang Guang, when I return to the barracks, when you thank us with poison tricks and soldiers, I shouldn't think of myself as a fool anymore. He turned to leave.
Yang Guang stretched out his hand to grab him back, and shouted: "Don't go! Don't you want to know the secret of the eye of the storm? Take me out of the city! I'll tell you everything after you leave the city!"
"What? Do you know the secret of the Eye of the Storm?" The three of them were about to leave, but Hua Mulan and King Lanling all turned their heads back and glared at Yang Guang together.
"Not bad. Yang Guang patted his chest and said: "I swear by the honor of my King of the Golden Court, I will never repay virtue with resentment, and I will tell you the truth about the eye of the storm, how about it?"
Hua Mulan and King Lanling glanced at each other and nodded to each other, and King Lanling said, "Yang Guang values his reputation the most, and if he really knows about the Eye of the Storm, let's just help him one last time." Hua Mulan also said to Baili Xuance: "Xuance, take out Mengxi's bomb and blow up Yu Wenhua's house, and we will take him out of the city from the other side." ”
"That's the best, that's the best. Yang Guang breathed a sigh of relief, and Hua Mulan turned her head and walked straight to him, saying, "There is one more condition! After you attack the Golden Court, you are not allowed to let your subordinates hurt the people of the Fourth and Fifth Rings for no reason!"
"This······ What's wrong with this?" Yang Guang smiled and said, "It seems that you still have a lot of feelings for these ants." Don't worry, I won't kill them and rob them, what do they have to rob? I'm going to kill them, who will contrast my nobility? "Then I have a request! Give me this flower." Baili Xuance stretched out his hand and grabbed Wuyan Ju from Yang Guang's hand, Yang Guang didn't care: "Anyway, there are a lot of flowers, I'll give it to you." ”
"Let's go!" King Lanling greeted, put his arm on Yang Guang's shoulder, and Hua Mulan and Baili Xuance followed one after another, and walked out of the dark passage first. Hua Mulan said to Baili Xuance: "Yu Wenhua's mansion is in the west of the Second Ring City, you will come back immediately after you blow it up with a bomb, and we will meet you in the east of the city." Pay attention to your surroundings before you start, and don't be bumped into by Yuwen Chengdu. Baili Xuance agreed with a smile and turned to leave.
"Are you really relieved that Xuan Ce will go alone?" King Lanling said with some doubts: "He's still so young." "If we have to take him with him every time, he won't grow. Hua Mulan said meaningfully: "And I believe that Xuan Ce has grown up, and he can bear any problem." ”
Then she changed her words and said, "But no matter what, I promised to keep the promise to protect Xuan Ce." It's still not safe enough in this kind of place, so I will follow him secretly, so that I can not only protect him secretly but also give him experience. I'll leave it to you here. As he spoke, he patted King Lanling on the shoulder and followed him with a smile.
King Lanling nodded, watching her figure disappear, and then said to Yang Guang: "Let's go too, go to the east of the city and wait, and leave the city when we find an opportunity." ”
"Ouch. Yang Guang nodded the thick muscles on King Lanling's shoulders quite scoldedly, and said, "Not all women can easily touch your body, it seems that the relationship between the two of you is not ordinary." Gao Changgong, your vision is not ······"
"Stop talking nonsense. King Lanling pushed him unceremoniously: "Now in an emergency, I don't have time to laugh with you." You just have to remember your promises. ”
"Of course. Yang Guang shrugged his shoulders and said, "Yu Wenhua and you old fox, wait, when it is dawn, it will be the moment when you die!"
