The Golden Bough and the Dog v. 107
Chu Mingyin's soldiers were quickly surrounded and suppressed, even he himself was injured, and he retreated in defeat after defeat, and had no choice but to kidnap Tang Xiyuan and flee to the back mountain cliff.
"Don't come here, or I'll kill him right away!"
Surrounded by archers on all sides, Chu Mingyin pinched Tang Xiyuan's neck, and behind him was the endless abyss of floating clouds.
There are only about 20 people left, and Tang Xiyuan is the only one he relies on for his life.
At this moment, Chu Ming and Yin came over clearly, Tang Xiyuan was deceiving him, and Yun Zhu did not find any evidence of his collusion with foreign thieves.
It is a capital offense for him to be fooled into the army, and he has exposed all the forces that can be used.
Chu Mingyin never imagined that Tang Xiyuan could be so heartfelt to Yun Zhu.
Tang Xiyuan said: "No way, my daughter...... Hey, as a father, you have to make some credit, otherwise she will be looked down upon if she has no backing. β
It was not clear to say, but Chu Mingyin thought of what the county lord of Qiyang had said about how Yun Zhu served Tang Xian, spit out a mouthful of blood, and said, "In this way, I am still the future ruler of the country." Yun stops, do you want me to let me go, or do you want me to take your father-in-law to die with you? β
Zhuang Lian, who was on the side of Yun Zhu, glanced at him and saw that his face was expressionless.
It's Zhuang Lian, and I can't guess Yun Zhi's thoughts at this time.
Chu Mingyin's blood was tainted with royal blood, but he colluded with foreign thieves to cause trouble in the country, and the clouds could not let the tiger return to the mountain.
Tang Xiyuan is Tang Xian's biological father, and he can't ignore it.
The two sides are at a stalemate.
The sky in the east is getting brighter and brighter, and the clouds are already gathering on the cliff side, and the sky is about to dawn.
"I don't have that much time to spend ...... with you" The brighter the day, the more anxious Chu Mingyin became, but he couldn't show it, "When the sun rises, if you still refuse to retreat and let me go, just wait to collect his body......"
"Daddy!"
A clear, anxious call came.
Tang Xiyuan and Yun Zhu were the first to react, and the two of them frowned together.
Chu Mingyin, Zhuang Lian, General Xuanwei and others took a step slower, and it was not until the guards at the corner got out of the way that they saw Tang Xian who came out of the way and Lin Beishu and others who followed behind.
Under the sight of Yun Zhu, Lin Beishu felt that he had been cut by a thousand knives.
He was also angry in his heart, and angrily threw down the person who was being carried by the guard, "Chu Mingyin, look at who this is!" β
Chu Mingyin glanced at the frightened Qiyang County Lord, and said meaninglessly: "Those who become big things are not informal, sister, you can rest in peace." β
The county lord of Qiyang, who was gagged and bumped all the way, rolled his eyes and almost fainted.
For the first time, Tang Xian saw this kind of person who didn't care about the life or death of his blood relatives, and his reaction was similar to that of the county lord of Qiyang.
However, her father was in the hands of others, she quickly sobered up and calmed down, and said: "It's useless for you to hold my father hostage, he is not familiar with the imperial tomb, even if he retires, you can't get out." Replace me, I've been in the Imperial Mausoleum for five years, and no one here is more familiar with it than I am. β
After she finished speaking, she looked at Yun Zhu pleadingly from a distance, and begged him with her eyes not to refute.
Yun Zhu was still wearing the robe that highlighted his waist and made Tang Xian's heart extremely excited, his dark eyes were painted, and he looked at Tang Xian without moving.
Tang Xian looked at him pleadingly, pushed Lin Beishu forward, and said, "Even if Yun Zhu is willing to let you go, within half a day, you will be caught up and arrested." I'm different, I'm familiar with the terrain of the Imperial Tomb, and I know a secret trail to leave ......"
"Don't ......" As soon as Tang Xiyuan opened his mouth, he was choked tightly and forcibly silenced.
"Don't do anything with my dad!" Tang Xian said anxiously and continued to step forward, "What I said is true, the passage is near here...... You should have heard from Concubine Qiao that I once left silently without telling the thousands of soldiers in the imperial tomb. If you want to leave, you can only rely on me ......."
Chu Mingyin was always vigilant and only glanced at Tang Xian with his spare eyes.
Seeing that she took a few steps forward, just within reach, Chu Mingyin made a look to let his subordinates block in front of him, pushed Tang Xiyuan to the side, and grabbed Tang Xian.
"Stand back." He stopped talking to Yun again, this time in a much more aggressive tone.
Tang Xiyuan is just a minister, he is also old, and there are many dead.
There is only one girl who looks like a flower and a moon and makes the clouds stop moving.
It is true that as Tang Xian said, Qiao Guifei mentioned that during the five years they were locked in the imperial mausoleum, only Tang Xian could have anything to do with the outside world.
Being here, Tang Xian's value is much higher than Tang Xiyuan's.
The knife was on Tang Xian's neck, Chu Mingyin looked at Yun Zhu defiantly, and said, "Do you want her to die?" β
Yun stopped raising his hand, and in an instant, all the guards who raised their bows retreated like a tide, taking Tang Xiyuan down with them.
"A woman is really more useful than a father-in-law." Chu Mingyin smiled maliciously, "You also step back......
Yun Zhu's eyes were always staring at Chu Ming Yin's dagger on Tang Xian's neck, and his gaze never wavered when he stepped back, his pace was very slow, stepping on the dead leaves on the ground, making a rustling sound.
As he took the third step, he suddenly rolled his eyes to the east.
Tang Xian was forced to look directly at him, and when she saw this, she turned around.
The movements of the two were seen by Chu Mingyin, he didn't dare to relax for a moment, and the dagger tightened, forcing Tang Xian to turn back.
Looking at the blood mark cut by the dagger under her neck, Yun stopped Yin Owl and said, "Do as you say, don't hurt her." β
Chu Ming Yin smiled and said, "Don't worry, this is my life talisman, I won't let her die easily......"
As he spoke, the light in the east suddenly brightened a little, Chu Mingyin slanted over there, the light and shadow in front of him flickered, he instinctively rolled his eyes, and found that it was the morning sun that broke through the glow and jumped out.
In the next moment, the sound of breaking wind struck, stabbing him directly into his right hand holding the dagger.
The arrow arrived before the pain, Chu Mingyin tightened the back of his hand, and the dagger in his hand wanted to move, but he was shocked to feel severe pain in his abdomen, and looked down to see a dagger in his waist and abdomen.
It happened in the blink of an eye.
Tang Xian, who was caught by him, got out of his hand in an instant.
The men around him reacted quickly and immediately attacked Tang Xian, but saw one of them draw his sword in reverse, protecting Tang Xian and blocking all attacks.
Randomly, the man hugged Tang Xian and rolled forward, his subordinates wanted to chase, but the rain of arrows in the sky had already come up.
"Helpβ"
Tang Xian was hugged and rolled a few times, and she saw the flashing of swords and arrows, just in front of her, listening to the familiar cries for help in her ears.
Her head was confused, and she only remembered that she received Yun Zhu's eyes, and at the moment when Daylight was about to jump out, she pulled out her dagger and stabbed it back, and then was knocked down by one of Chu Mingyin's men.
The dead branches and rubble on the ground hurt her, her hair was in a mess, and she fell to the ground in embarrassment, and a man in gray was pressed against her.
The man in gray was the subordinate beside Chu Mingyin, with a voice like Yanxia.
Tang Xian wanted to take a closer look at whether she was Yanxia, but the person had been pushed away, and she was held tightly in her arms and patted her face gently.
"Huh?"
Tang Xian saw Yun Zhu, and then she was afraid, and her voice trembled, "I, I killed someone!" β
Yun Zhu was angry and anxious, but looking at her pale and sad expression, a thousand words of blame or concern could not be spoken, and he only hugged her fiercely into his arms.
.
Afterwards, Yanxia complained: "Lord Tang, can you simply break free next time?" You're not as good as your daughter! β
Tang Xiyuan said: "I am the pillar of the family, I can't have an accident, of course I have to be cautious......"
After Yanxia was shouted away by Zhuang Lian that day, she mixed up with Chu Mingyin, she lived up to expectations, hid for a whole day, protected Tang Xian at a critical moment, and made great contributions.
Yanxia was very happy, but Tang Xian was not happy.
Just came back to check and confirmed that there was no major problem, she was reprimanded by Tang Xiyuan.
"If you don't show up, it won't be bad, I'll delay with him for a while, just wait for him to leak a flaw...... What's your little girl's impulsiveness? It's good that I wasn't seriously injured, otherwise how would I explain to your mother......"
Tang Xian suffered a slight injury on her neck, which has been dealt with.
Her father not only did not collude with the thieves, but on the contrary, he helped Yun Zhu to deceive Chu Mingyin and his subordinates into rebellious parties, and helped Yun Zhu solve a lot of trouble.
Her father has made great contributions, and he is not afraid of being called a traitor and a rebel against the party, and her mother and younger siblings will not be unable to hold their heads up in Beijing!
Compared to these, what is a small injury?
But Tang Xian still said softly, "I'm worried about my father...... The first time I hurt someone, my hands are still shaking......"
Tang Xiyuan couldn't reprimand her, and patted her head in distress.
On the other hand, Chu Mingyin's wrist was pierced by Yun Zhu, and Tang Xian stabbed a dagger in the abdomen, but unfortunately Tang Xian was not strong enough to kill him.
Fortunately, Yun Zhu didn't want him to die now.
The chaos of this night was completely resolved at sunrise, and after a simple clean-up, the ancestor worship proceeded as usual, and the missing courtiers did not cause any impact.
On the grounds that the ancestors gave dreams, Yun Zhu directly hollowed out the filial piety tomb, violently destroyed the secret passage of the mechanism, and transported the treasures hidden in it back to the palace.
At this point, the problem of the state treasury has been completely solved.
In September of that year, envoys from three neighboring nations visited at the same time.
On the third day after the envoys arrived, dozens of traitors and comrades such as Chu Mingyin and others, including dozens of officials, were escorted to the west of the city, where they were beheaded in public in the downtown area after the charges were read aloud in the street.
Guangling Chu family, Beijing Mansion and other portals, all because of Chu Mingyin, since then they have become ordinary people.
Among them, the county lord of Qiyang has the most direct kinship with the thief, and for the sake of her ignorance, Yun Zhu only deprived her of the status of the county lord and demoted her to a commoner.
The rest of the people should be beheaded, and those who should be degraded.
The repeated operations are not shy about it, and it is for foreign envoys to see.
The envoys of various countries stayed for half a month and resigned one after another.
After all the troubles were resolved, in October of the same year, Yun stopped in the court and mentioned the matter of marrying Tang Xian, and the court and the court were in an uproar and quarreled.
The opposition is mainly aimed at Tang Xian's former status as the empress, the empress dowager, and the empress dowager.
The granddaughter of a generation of traitorous ministers married her grandfather first and then her grandson, and became queens twice...... No matter what time it was placed, it was quite impactful.
Those who agree with it also have their own principles, so they only need to govern the country diligently, so what if they leave some criticism in their marriage?
Anyway, it was Yun Zhu who was scolded, not the ministers of them.
Besides, how eccentric his Yun clan royal family is, there have been cruel and bloodthirsty emperors, there have been princes who love to eat poison, and there are emperors who like to be a matchmaker and were assassinated...... It's not surprising that one more person violates ethics and often marries his former grandmother.
However, whether they oppose or agree with it, it doesn't matter to Cloud Stop.
In November, he put Tang Xian back in the back seat with great fanfare and asked Tang Xian again what he had asked.
"Isn't it good to marry me and be a queen?"
ββ¦β¦ Okay, good ......" Tang Xian's hands and feet were weak when he was tossed, and he gave him an affirmative answer in a daze.
