Chapter Six: The Chaos in Annam The two countries are seeking peace again
There are three countries in the Xuxuan Continent, located in the north of the strong Chifang country, located in the south of the internal and external troubles of the Annan country, a large forest in the middle of the two countries called the Sunset Forest separates their borders, the west is bordered by the Gobi Desert, the Gobi Desert has a golden country, the life of the people is tenacious and likes to fight.
In addition to the story of the long-cherished arrival that is the most popular among storytellers, there is also one who is also their frequent guest, the regent lord of Annan - the county lord of Feng'an. Her legend can also be said to be popular, saying that she was sent out of the palace by the emperor to follow the master since she was a child, and she returned to China three years ago, when the old lord led the army to confront the Jin Ge country but was defeated, one person went to the battlefield, crossed the army, and the blood mist was filled everywhere, hundreds of thousands of troops, standing dumbfounded, no one could resist, watching her pass through the army to the old lord, and leave quietly, like a ghost. Since then, she has been given the title of regent county lord, and at that time, the people of the country trembled and feared when they saw this name, and later heard that she went up the mountain to practice again and never appeared again.
A major event is happening in the capital of Annan today, that is, the rebellious ministers and thieves conspire to force the palace and want to seize power and usurp the throne. It was only because the old lord of Annan died half a year ago, and the only son of the old lord who inherited the throne was only 12 years old. The new emperor was still young when he ascended the throne, and those who were ready to move surfaced.
The child, who was only 12 years old, sat on the stage, and no one knelt down in the hall full of civil and military officials and soldiers, and there was no fear in his eyes, and he blinked his ignorant eyes and asked: "Old general, you have defended the country of Annam for a long time, and the first emperor was a minister when he was here, and I often listen to your heroic deeds." I admire you the most," he sighed in a young voice, "but Zuo Cheng won't let me listen to you, and he said that it won't be long before he will marry his daughter to me as a queen, so that I will not be alone." ”
The old general, wearing armor and holding a weapon, stood on the right side of the emperor's head, and led a group of soldiers to surround the ministers. "Prime Minister Zuo, you old shameless! Are you willing? Then he said to the emperor, "Your Majesty, this Prime Minister Zuo just wants to hold the Son of Heaven hostage so that he can be in charge of the government. He smiled and said, "Your Majesty, you are so coerced by them like this, it is really pitiful, the old man can help you, as long as you give me the half of the talisman." ”
This talisman holds the lifeblood of Annan, and can command hundreds of thousands of troops at the border, they do not recognize the master, only the talisman, which is also the killing move left by the old lord, no matter who is the emperor, without the talisman, he will not be able to sit on the throne.
Prime Minister Zuo stood on the left side and scolded, "Shut up, you dog mongrel, you are now carrying weapons to the court, and you have asked people to surround the imperial city, Sima Zhao's heart is well known." What are you putting there! "It's about righteousness and strictness, but in fact, he is embarrassed to usurp the throne and become the emperor directly, and he has to care about the mouths of the people in the world.
To say that there is no distinction between these two people, the two of them scolded above this high hall, and in front of the emperor, surrounded by a group of guards and courtiers. The ministers looked at each other on the lower side, except for those who had already stood in line, no one dared to stand up and speak for the emperor, only said that this Annan country is over!
Only one person spoke up at this time, and he craned his neck and said, "You bully the emperor so young, are you worthy of the dead emperor!" If you wait for the rebellious ministers and thieves, aren't you afraid of the regent and the county lord Feng'an? ”
As soon as the Feng'an County Lord was mentioned, no one spoke quietly above the main hall.
Prime Minister Zuo said: "Hmph, what regent county lord, but in vain, it's just that she saved the old lord three years ago, she has never returned to China in the past three years, what kind of regent." ”
Prime Minister Zuo had only heard of but had never seen the regent county lord, but the old general had indeed seen it, and had seen it on the battlefield, the woman who was like a ghost, crossing the army alone, and the blood mist was shining everywhere she passed, saving the old lord from danger, he felt such a deep fear.
He looked at the young emperor, he had inquired in many ways, this county lord could not come back, I heard that he had gone up the mountain to concentrate on cultivation. His son shouted at this time, "What county lord? What are you afraid of! Father! As he spoke, he pulled out his blade and said loudly: "Today's emperor's Zen position, whoever disagrees with it will be killed!" ”
The old general stopped: "Stop, there are still military talismans!" ”
At this time, a young voice spoke: "It turns out that the old general wants a talisman, and I really have it." As he spoke, he took out half of the talisman from his cuff and raised it brightly.
The old general was a little excited: "Your Majesty, you... You give"
Prime Minister Zuo shouted: "No, the emperor, the old minister can keep it on his behalf!" ”
The emperor interrupted them to quarrel again, and said: "You can give it, in fact, my father said before he died, whoever has a complete military talisman is the rightful monarch of Annan." As he spoke, he looked at the faces below one by one, and said with a smile: "Oops, but I only have half a piece!" If any of you has the other half, I will give it to him! ”
Everyone looked at each other for a while, the old general's son couldn't wait, raised his knife and walked forward, he wanted to rob, if his father was the emperor, he would be the prince, and the world would be his.
At this time, a burst of arrows that broke the sky "swished", shot straight at the knife, and the knife broke with a "choking" sound.
"Who?" The guards all drew their swords and looked out the door.
I saw an eight-lift sedan chair slowly appearing in the field of vision, and four people wearing white clothes with gold trim and ghost faces standing on both sides. Seeing this, the little emperor shook his head and sat back in his chair steadily.
I only heard a female voice from the sedan chair, "Now, is it a new trend to go to court like this?" "That's what Yunlan said." Who are you? The arrogant boy shouted.
"Presumptuous, when you see the lord of this county, don't you bow down?" Saying that, the sedan chair fell to the ground, the curtain opened, and Yun Lan was wearing a red chest-length robe, a black sleeved shirt, gold silk embroidered edges, a phoenix pattern, and a ghost face, only revealing a delicate chin and ruddy lips. She stepped out of the sedan chair step by step and walked towards the high hall.
Hearing the words of the county lord, everyone gasped, and no one dared to question her, but at this moment, her steps seemed to be frozen in place, unable to move, her throat seemed to be pinched by a pair of big hands, no matter how she struggled, she couldn't make a sound, and cold trembling crawled all over everyone present. The old general and the prime minister couldn't move for a long time and finally noticed that something was wrong, but no one could open their mouths and watched her walk towards the throne step by step, passing by a guard, Yun Lan pulled out his long sword, stood still a few steps beside the old general's son, waved his hand at the man without squinting, blood gushing, the man's head fell to the ground, kneeling on the ground. The crowd was so frightened that they couldn't shout if they wanted to, and they couldn't run away if they wanted to. The old general's face trembled with pain and fear, and he watched his son's head separate.
Yun Lan threw the sword and nailed it in front of Baiguan, then took out a handkerchief to wipe his hands, although he was a few steps away, there were still some blood stains splattered on his hands. She continued to stand in front of the little emperor, took out the other half of the talisman, raised it and squatted, and shouted, "Long live my emperor, long live." ”
Everyone felt that their bodies had suddenly unloaded their strength, and they all knelt on the ground and shouted, "Long live my emperor", for fear that if the shouting was slow, the next person to be in a different place would be himself.
The old general sat down on the ground, he knew that he was defeated, and her ability to go up to this hall meant that the private soldiers defending the imperial city had worshipped. Prime Minister Zuo also saw that the general trend had gone, and bowed his head to the minister.
The little emperor got up, walked up to Yunlan, grabbed her hand and helped her up, and whispered, "Sister." ”
Yun Lan got up and replied in a low voice: "An Xuan is scared?" ”
The little emperor shook his head, took her hand, and the two stood side by side on the high platform. Yun Lan beckoned to Bai Su, Bai Su was the most majestic and tall among the four, although he wore a ghost face, he also felt that he was handsome and extraordinary, and his temperament was outstanding. He walked to the front of the stage, and his voice was warm but not the slightest warmth: "Those who rebel today will be executed." Zhennan General's Mansion, Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion ....."
Listening to Bai Su reading his names one by one, up to the prime minister, down to the soldiers, and if there is any disobedience, Yun Lan is very relieved that Bai Su will do anything, she must clean up all the disobedience in the court of Annan and help An Xuan sit firmly on the throne, which is also what the old lord told her three years ago, and even gave her a military talisman to ask her to protect his son.
At that time, she left the Chifang country and went south through the forest, An Xuan was only a few years old at that time, so he took a few guards all the way to the Chifang country for help, and met Yunlan who was confronting the tiger, and didn't think that the child was going to save her, the sudden change made Yunlan Cicada Yi too late to make a move, and Yunlan wanted to collect a mount at the time, just hesitated, An Xuan almost died in the tiger's mouth, and his guards were also killed and injured, now Yunlan was not calm, killed the livestock, saved the child, the child thought he was going to die, told Yunlan that his identity as the crown prince was to go to Annan for help, his father was at war with Jin Geguo, and was trapped for many days and was in danger, begging the red side to send troops to fight. When Yunlan woke him up, time was pressing, so she went to save his father in person.
After a month of purging, the blood of the government of Annan has been renewed, and at that time, the palace of Annan County. "Sister, are you still leaving?" An Xuan put down the pen in his hand and looked at the clouds on the swing on the side. In his heart, Yun Lan saved his father and his life, in addition to his father, Yun Lan is the person he trusts and is closest to the most.
"Xuan Xuan, you will be a good emperor." Yun Lan replied. No matter what she said, she will definitely leave, now that the toxin of Annan has been removed, there is no reason for her to stay here anymore.
Looking at An Xuan's gradually bulging little face and wet eyes, he couldn't bear to say: "If you are a good emperor, I will come back to see you often, how about it?" ”
"Really?" An Xuan's eyes lit up.
"Naturally!" Yunlan said solemnly while swinging.
An Xuan quickly agreed: "A word is a certainty, sister, I will definitely be a good emperor!" ”
"Although the country has been decided, Jin Geguo has been a little ready to move recently. These border barbarians have always had the desire to annex Annam, and I am afraid that they still need the help of the Red Country. Yunlan was thinking about it when a cyan figure stepped into the hospital.
The person who came was the chief of Yunlan's close attendants, Bai Su. Seven-foot figure, moon-white robe with green shirt, waist with long sword, clear eyes with lightly raised eyebrows, mountain roots erect, thin lips lightly pursed, worthy of a son like jade, unparalleled in the world, but a pair of eyes without temperature, looking at Yunlan is a little warm.
In Xuelong Valley, Bai Su is different after all, although the four of them are all Feng Qi's close servants for Yunlan, they have been cultivated since childhood, and they have grown up with Yunlan. However, the other three can only be called the Lord of Fengqi Valley, and only Bai Su can call the master like Yunlan. Feng Qi said that Bai Su was quite talented, and if Jingmo and they could be so motivated, it would not be impossible to call Master Sheng. Therefore, Bai Su can also be regarded as Yunlan's senior brother.
"Brother Bai Su, you're back, how busy are you?" Yun Lan immediately obediently showed his little tiger teeth.
Bai Su didn't speak, and a pair of eyes fell on An Xuan, staring at An Xuan's scalp numb. An Xuan was afraid of this Bai Su, and as soon as he pouted, he went to pull Yunlan's hand, so that he would not flinch, he wanted to stay with his sister, "Sister, how is Ah Xuan's handwriting?" Is there any progress? ”
"Lan'er, I brought you your favorite osmanthus sugar cake," Bai Su said.
"Okay, thank you, Brother Bai Su." Yun Lan hurriedly walked over to pick up the pastries.
"Xuanxuan, let's eat together." Yun Lan, who took the pastry, shouted at An Xuan.
"The Master is here, and he should go to the lecture. Now that he is the king, it is time for him to take charge of himself. Bai Su said softly.
An Xuan was just about to refute, but he heard Yunlan echo: "Well, that's right, listen to Brother Bai Su." Xuanxuan, go to the class, I'll keep it for you, and then eat after listening. An Xuan had no choice but to bow his head and grit his teeth, and went out with an "oh" sound.
"No matter where you go, I can't control you." Bai Su knocked on her head and said helplessly.
Yunlan knew that he was at a loss, and he was the fault of sneaking down the mountain by himself, so he had to smirk. Changing the subject, he said: "Brother Bai Su, I'm afraid we have to go to the Chifang Country again, in my capacity as the regent county lord." ”
Bai Su nodded and said softly: "Well, I know that the civil strife has subsided, and now it's time to consider external enemies." Since you promised them, Aster and I will take care of everything for you. ”
"Brother Bai Su has been so good since he was a child." Yunlan smiled and said, although Bai Su would take care of her, no matter what trouble she caused, Bai Su would teach her and help her at the same time.
Bai Su wiped the corners of her mouth and said: "In five days, we can leave, I have already handed over the credentials of the two countries to Chifang, and the regent county lord will go to Chifang in person, so as to make an appointment between the two countries." ”
"Hmm!" Yunlan thought to himself, it's really convenient to have Bai Su, and you don't have to worry about everything.
