Chapter 978: Dead Country
That night, after the curfew.
The south gate of Oshichi City opened, and heavy carriages drove out.
In the largest and most luxurious car, sat King Liang and the princess.
Princess Liang cried and cried, her mouth was full of reluctance, and the crying King Liang was upset.
"Cry, cry, cry again, get out of the car!" King Liang scolded angrily, and Princess Liang stopped crying.
He himself looked at the city that gradually disappeared into the night, and burst into tears.
In fact, King Liang was even more reluctant to be born in Kunming City, where he grew up. He never thought in his life that he would leave Dianchi and go back to Mobei......
Mobei, what a strange and rough place name. Kunming, which is accompanied by the four seasons like spring and mountains and rivers, is very different when you hear it.
From the mouth of the envoy of the Northern Yuan, he had heard about the hard life of the royal court now. It is also the wax moon, Kunming is just a little cold, and adding a light fur is enough to keep out the cold. However, there is heavy snow and cold wind in Mobei, and no matter how prosperous the brazier in the yurt is, it still drips into ice......
And I heard that the Mobei royal court is now short of everything, and even the princes and nobles have to burn horse manure to keep warm. Can you burn horse manure? How big does it smell? King Liang felt terrible when he thought about it.
King Liang was accustomed to the luxurious palace silver silk charcoal, as long as he thought of going to live in a yurt and burn horse manure in the future, he was not good.
As Oshichi completely disappeared into darkness, he also fell into deep self-doubt, wondering if the decision to return to Mobei was the right one?
I am already 60 years old, is it really necessary to suffer that sin?
It's just that if you don't go back to Mobei, where can you go?
You don't have to think about the sphere of influence of Yunnan and even the Ming Dynasty, but what about the territory of the Mongols?
In addition to the Great Yuan, there were also four vast khanates. The world is so big that the Mongolian iron horse gallops.
However, those khanates were dependent on the Great Yuan, and their khans needed to be canonized by the Great Yuan. When the Yuan Dynasty lost the world and curled up in a corner of Mobei, it also lost the authority of canonizing the Khan King.
The major khanates were either mired in civil strife or directly wiped out because of the dispute over the heirs, and none of them had a good life...... What's more, everyone has nothing to do with it, it's better to defect to them than to defect to Beiyuan.
Not long ago, he heard that a new Timurid Empire had risen in recent years, and it was fighting in the east and west, and these stormy Mongol khanates were pressed. Judging from past experience, these barely surviving khanates are not far from perishing.
It was not until this moment that King Liang, who had always believed in evil, really felt that the era of belonging to the Mongols was gone. The good days of these Mongolian princes have also come to an end.
At this time, the tragedy of the entire nation and his personal experience were superimposed, which made King Liang's already not very strong heart completely overwhelmed.
When the sound of the water in Dianchi Lake completely disappeared from his ears, King Liang finally collapsed......
"Don't go any further, go back!" He suddenly shouted nervously.
The coachman looked at Timid Xue in confusion, that is, the chief of the guard, and Timidly Xue looked at Luer and Dade who accompanied him for help.
"Lord, where are you going?" Lu'er had no choice but to ask, "Oshichi City?" ”
"Don't go back to Chicheng, go back to the edge of Dianchi Lake!" King Liang said loudly: "This king can't leave Dianchi Lake, don't leave Dianchi Lake!" ”
"......" Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what kind of madness the prince had.
"What should I do?" Dad asked quietly.
"The prince may have thought of saying goodbye today, never seeing each other again, and he was reluctant to let Dianchi Lake go." Green guessed.
"Don't talk about the prince, I also want to take a look at Dianchi Lake and Xishan more." Dade agrees.
"Then let the prince take a closer look." Green sighed.
So the guards surrounded the carriage of the prince's family and drove to the Dianchi Lake, and the large army remained on the avenue and waited.
After a mile to the west, the sound of water reappeared, and King Liang breathed a sigh of relief, and the suffocating feeling finally disappeared.
The carriage continued to move forward, came to the edge of Dianchi Lake, the sound of the lake slapping on the shore became louder and louder, but the scenery was beautiful in the daytime, and the Dianchi Lake was a black hole in this night, like a beast that chose people and devoured it.
King Liang called his wife and children to his luxurious carriage, got out of the carriage by himself, and then ordered the guards: "Seal the doors and windows." ”
"Huh?" Xue Xue was stunned.
"Don't you understand what this king is saying?" King Liang said coldly.
"What do you mean, Lord Wang?" Cowardly Xue didn't know what kind of madness he was making.
"If you want to do it, you will do it, and it will be your turn to ask the east and west?!" King Liang shouted angrily.
"......" cowardly Xue had to lead someone to bolt the car door from the outside with a wooden stick, and the car window from the outside.
The queens and princes in the car also noticed something unusual, and when they tried to open the door, they couldn't do anything. Hurriedly opened the window again, and the window could not be opened either......
"Open the door, open the door! Father, open the door! The sons banged desperately on the windows and yelled.
King Liang's heart was like a knife, tears rolling, but he hardened his heart and said loudly: "Don't shout, son." Dayuan is dead, Yunnan is also lost, and my father and son's country are ruined! What else does it mean to be alive? ”
"Father, let me out!"
"I don't want to die!" The princes frantically smashed the windows of the carriage, but King Liang made the carriage extremely strong because he was afraid of death, and the windows were all wood-clad iron, and he never wanted to destroy it with his bare hands.
"No, you all want to die, my King Liang's family is full of loyalty, martyrdom for the Great Yuan, it will be immortal!" King Liang waved his arms and shouted nervously: "Don't be afraid, my father will arrive later, and our family can still be neat!" ”
After speaking, he ordered loudly: "Drive the carriage into Dianchi Lake!" ”
But the coachmen cowered and did not dare to move. If you kill the prince's wife, you will have to kill them if you don't turn around.
King Liang instructed his cowardice again, and the guards did not dare to do the same.
"A bunch of rubbish!" When King Liang saw that he couldn't move them, he drew his sword and wanted to do it himself.
Lu'er and Dade hurriedly stopped him and persuaded bitterly: "Don't be impulsive, stay in the green mountains without worrying about no firewood." ”
"Yes, Lord Wang, hasn't you already left a way back? Wouldn't it be good for us to go to sea and return to Mobei? ”
"What a fart, can there still be a good dog who lost his family?" They all thought that King Liang was crazy, but King Liang was extremely sober at the moment.
"From the moment he escaped from Oshichi, the king was already dead! If he escapes again, this king will lose his reputation even after his death! ”
As he spoke, he jerked free of the two and stabbed a horse in the buttocks.
The horse was in pain, neighing and running forward, and the other three horses followed suit, dragging the heavy carriage to speed towards Dianchi.
No one is in control, and this kind of troika can't turn at all, but can only keep moving forward. The river did not pass the horse's nose until all four horses did not reach it......
The heavy carriage also slowly sank into the Dianchi Lake amid the bitter cries and scolding of the princess and the princes, and finally only a string of bubbles remained.
