Chapter 409: Piercing the Clouds
The Tonghui Bridge was crowded with people, not only the entourage of the Beiyong Army and the eldest princess's mansion, but also some people living nearby, all of whom were surrounded outside.
In front of so many people, the eldest princess can be regarded as whispering.
Feng Yun even saw the tears in her eyes.
Everyone has weaknesses and shortcomings.
Puyang Zong and Puyang Yi, two brothers and sisters, are the hearts and minds of the eldest princess......
Feng Yun was silent, and his gaze swept towards Pei Yan.
In the bleak autumn wind, his eyebrows were cold, and he was not moved.
"Your Highness's words are wrong."
Seeing that the eldest princess's face changed, he added.
"The king of the county is in the hands of Yuan Keng."
begged him to raise his noble hand, as if he was the one who kidnapped Puyang.
Of course, the eldest princess didn't mean this, and she also knew that Pei Zhen knew that she didn't mean that. But obviously, Pei Zhen is not willing to give this face.
Is this for the last time, do you hold a grudge?
The eldest princess secretly gritted her teeth and closed her eyes fiercely.
"King Yonghuai, Yuan Keng threatened my son's life, two fingers have gone, I am a mother, I can't watch him die, please order the Beiyong army to retreat......"
Pei Zhen asked: "If the Beiyong army retreats, will Yuan Keng let go of the county king?" β
Not necessarily.
The eldest princess knew that the chances were slim.
But at this moment, she can only throw a mouse bogey......
"King Yonghuai." Tears involuntarily rushed into her eyes, and the eldest princess swallowed the bitterness of her throat, trembling her voice, and choked.
"Hongu has no choice."
At this time, Yuan Keng didn't know what he was doing in the carriage, and Pu Yangzong's screams came out again, accompanied by his gritted teeth and angry scolding, as well as moaning.
"Mother, don't let him go...... Kill him...... Avenge me......"
The painful voice, broken, hoarse, humiliating, seemed to pull people into the quagmire of despair, and the ears stood on end and made people feel uncomfortable.
Feng Yun also frowned.
Before today, she really didn't expect that Puyang Zong was actually a hard bone.
It is better to be broken than to be complete. He and Yuan Keng are brothers who have grown up together since childhood, and they must know him better than others......
Maybe Puyang Zong knew that even if he left Tonghui Bridge, he would not be able to escape Yuan Keng's poisonous hands, so this would be the case.
But as a mother, how could the eldest princess give up?
Her reason slowly collapsed in Pu Yang's screams one after another.
"King Yonghuai."
One word at a time, almost bursting out from between her teeth.
"You are so ruthless that my mother and son will never be forever?"
Pei Yan said: "Your Highness, I sent troops to stop at Tonghui Bridge, which is to rescue the king of Danyang County......"
The eldest princess roared angrily: "King Yonghuai, don't force me!" β
Human lives matter.
A mother can do anything for her son......
She didn't control her emotions and was very loud.
There was a cacophony of chatter......
The dispute between the two people made the atmosphere change abruptly.
The sight on both sides of the Tonghui Bridge is almost entirely to this side.
The situation is on the verge of eruption.
The crowd waited, motionless, nervous.
The calmer Pei Yi was, the more angry the eldest princess became, anxious like an ant on a hot pot, on the verge of collapse......
She stared at Pei Zhen, gritted her teeth and lowered her voice.
"I don't want to turn my face, but if King Yonghuai insists on going his own way and disregarding my son's life, then don't blame me for not being merciful and turning against you......"
Pei Yan's face was expressionless, and he arched his hand, "Your Highness can't be rash. β
"You say that this palace is willful?" The eldest princess raised her eyebrows, couldn't hold her breath, pointed to his nose and said:
"Pei Zhen, you have never been a father, you don't have the heart to be a parent, don't you have a young parent? Did you pop out of a crack in the rock? Cold-blooded monsters! β
In a hurry, she didn't choose what to say.
This is extremely outrageous.
Pei Zhen's face did not change, "Your Highness is calm. β
"Pei Zhen!" The eldest princess roared, her tone changed with anger, sharp and harsh, and her face was extremely ugly, "My son was in that carriage, and two fingers were chopped off, how do you calm down this palace?" β
The voices of the two people were not small, and Feng Yun could hear them clearly.
Pei Yan has a heavy army in his hand, and he is not afraid of breaking with the eldest princess.
But the people of the time believed in the "divine right of the monarch", and the recognition of the royal family could make Yuan Shangyi, the dragon chair of the Ninety-Five Honor, supported by Pei Zhen, sit justifiably.
If the eldest princess leads the crowd to take refuge in Yecheng, it will change the entire situation......
Maybe this was originally Yecheng's conspiracy, and the last time he was separated at the wedding banquet in Hefu, he couldn't help it again......
The eldest princess and Pei Zhen turned against each other, who benefited the most?
Of course, it is the Yecheng court.
Whoever benefits is the mastermind.
Feng Yun was thoughtful, and his eardrum shook suddenly.
On the other side of the bridge, Pu Yangzhong's screams were heard again......
The eldest princess was stimulated to the extreme.
"Someone."
She whispered, and the attendants gathered around......
Pei Zhen: "Your Highness, be cautious!" β
The eldest princess gritted her teeth and stared at him coldly: "King Yonghuai refuses to let go of the road to survival, then the palace can only fight for my son......"
She is also a hard character, and with a deep voice, the guards immediately drew their swords, and on Pei Zhen's side, the guard battalion also rushed forward and waited for them.
Dark clouds are rolling in the sky.
The crowd held their breath and watched motionlessly.
I'm afraid that in the blink of an eye, someone will be splashed with blood on the spot......
At this moment, there was a sudden emergency report.
"King Yu, King Hui of Xingyang brings!"
Pei Yan frowned, glanced at the eldest princess, and turned his head.
"Bring it on."
King Huiwang of Xingyang was only wearing a plain shirt, his hair was tied in a bun, and he was not crowned, as if he had just been picked up from bed, messy and embarrassed.
The weather was getting cooler, the wind was strong at the bridgehead, and Yuan Tao was escorted to the Tonghui bridge by the guards, and his body kept fighting.
Pei Yan said in a deep voice: "Shout." β
Yuan Tao glanced at him, the corners of his mouth trembled, and he suddenly shouted.
"Keng'er! Why are you so stupid? β
Pei Zhen: "It's not for you to say this. β
Yuan Tao looked at the silent carriage on the other side of the bridge with red eyes, and suddenly felt sad.
"You're just leaving, don't you want your old father and mother? Me and your mother...... Pulling you up with hard work, you leave without saying a word, this is going to kill us. β
"Father!" Yuan Keng finally spoke, his voice was low and slow, accompanied by a cold wind, and there was a gloomy feeling.
"I have long seen clearly, in the name of the royal family, what do you want, in Andu, we will only waste time, and we will not achieve much in our lives, only by taking refuge in Yecheng, can we have the opportunity to show our strengths......"
"Ridiculous!" Yuan Tao let out a low snort, his beard shaking.
In front of so many people, there were some things that he couldn't say more, so he reprimanded, and looked at Pei Zhen's cold face, and said loudly:
"You still don't let go of the King of Danyang County and kneel down to ask the eldest princess and King Yonghuai for their guilt?"
Yuan Keng snorted.
"Father, do you think it's useful for me to plead now? Don't be naΓ―ve. Stay, I have only one way to die, leave, I can still fight. β
Pei Zhen asked: "Your father is in my hands, life and death are up to me, how do you fight?" β
He glanced at Yuan Tao, pulled out the Biyong sword with a whoosh, pressed it against his throat, and said coldly:
"It's too much trouble to chop hands and feet. I count three times, don't let go of the king of Danyang County, I will want your father's life. β
Exchanging hostages is a common thing for enemies and friends, Pei Zhen said it lightly, but he was murderous.
Those present immediately gasped.
Yuan Tao is not a nobody......
He is the king of Xingyang Hui of the Great Jin Dynasty, he is a royal family, and he has not yet been sentenced, so he will kill if he says he will kill?
Pei Zhen is also too bold.
Yuan Tao's face was already white with fright.
Yuan Keng didn't think so, and sneered: "Why should Father be afraid? Pei Zhen is just scaring you, you are the king of Xingyang Hui who was personally crowned by the first emperor, and he Pei Zhen is just a king with a different surname...... He didn't dare. β
"Khoo!" Yuan Tao suddenly screamed in pain.
The sword pierced the skin, and blood trickled down his neck.
The shock was not weaker than Yuan Keng's chopping fingers.
There was silence all around.
Pei Zhen: "One! β
His face was gloomy, and his voice was cold, without the slightest mood swing.
The sound came out, and the tip of the sword pressed down.
Yuan Tao almost scared out to pee.
One after another, shouting Yuan Keng's name.
"Two!"
Before Pei Yan's voice fell, Yuan Tao's tears fell.
"Son, did you really disregard your father's life?"
Yuan Keng's voice came from the carriage.
"Father, the son will avenge you."
Yuan Tao's eyes widened, and he looked at the other side of the bridge in disbelief......
The son who was raised by his own hands, at the moment of life and death, easily gave up on him.
Yuan Tao said: "Ah Zhi and Ah Ze are both watching." What you did to your father, they will do to you in the future......"
Yuan Keng was silent.
The autumn wind is whistling, whistling by, like flying sand and stones.
In the short silence, it seemed that everyone was waiting, waiting for Pei Zhen to shout out the "three......
However, Pei Yan didn't shout, only snorted coldly.
"King Hui, let's go."
With a flash of sword light, Yuan Tao suddenly lost his voice and cried out in pain, and his body fell to the ground softly, making a loud noise......
Almost at this moment.
"Ahh
A terrible scream pierced the sky.
The sound was not on the bridge of conflict, but on the bridge where Yuan Keng was.
The hard-hearted Yuan Keng, at the moment when his father fell, subconsciously opened half of the curtain and looked at it......
It was also at this critical moment that the archer of the Beiyong Army, who was ambushed on the side, shot an arrow through Yuan Keng's throat.
