Chapter 114: The Elder Causes Disaster in His Anger
"I just don't know, how did Xiao Bieli become a walking corpse, a monster who doesn't know pain, and only knows how to kill?"
Seeing Nan Xiangzi's puzzled face, Ying Wujian laughed loudly: "You don't have to know this, you just need to know that this king has already said that those who betray this king will never end well." And now he only obeys the king, he is a loyal dog, and he will not betray the king again until he dies. What's the matter, with his martial arts, he hasn't been able to bring the sword back?"
Nan Xiangzi replied truthfully: "Xiao Bieli's martial arts really surprised us, although Liu Yuanjun and the others were seriously injured, but they were defeated by that Dao Xueke with some magical martial arts, and they were seriously injured and dying, and at this time I am afraid that they have already turned into dry bones in the grave." ”
Ying Wujian was slightly stunned when he heard this, which he never expected, and couldn't help but stroke his beard and fall into deep thought: "It seems that this Dao Xueke is really not what it used to be, and even Xiao Bieli, who has taken the pill, is not his opponent." Now that Li Wenao, Mrs. Cui, Qing Xuanyi, and Xiao Bieli are all dead, this king has broken five generals at once, one leaf is red, Ren Shanhuai and Zhu Qingqiu are no longer dispatched by this king, and the remnants of the Eagle Clan are ready to move, and the situation in front of them is chaotic, how should this be?"
Seeing that Ying Wujian hadn't spoken for a long time, Nan Xiangzi had an idea, and suddenly raised his head and said, "Congratulations to the prince, congratulations to the prince." ”
Ying Wujian was a little puzzled when he heard this, so he asked: "What you have done with the things that this king has ordered, how can you talk about congratulating this king?" Nan Xiangzi replied: " Although that Xiao Farewell never brought Dao Xueke back, but he not only seriously injured everyone, but also fought with Dao Xueke for a long time, and finally Dao Xueke defeated him, and personally smashed his mask, under the mask is Xiao Wuxian face, Dao Xueke and others saw it, if they were struck by lightning, they thought that their hearts would also collapse, and later his subordinates even pierced that Xiao Wuxian was Xiao Farewell, and told Dao Xueke that Xiao Wuxian, who had raised him for ten years, was one of the murderers who went up the mountain with us ten years ago and killed him in the Snow Villa! In this way, how can that sword snowman not collapse?"
"Oh?" Ying Wujian couldn't help but frown when he heard this, and thought to himself: "Although he couldn't bring back Dao Xueke this time, his psychological defense line has collapsed, and if he wants to force him to tell the secret of the Jade Buddha in the future, it will be much easier." ”
Nan Xiangzi saw that Ying Wujian showed a little joy, and his heart was crazy, so he said again: "When my subordinates were leaving, they even told the Dao Xueke that if you want to know the truth, you must come to Tanglin Mansion. And on the way back to Tanglin, we also sent people to inquire in many ways, and now Daoxueke has come to Tanglin Mansion with Naluo Baiyi!"
"Just the two of them?" asked Ying Wuji.
"It's just the two of them!" Nan Xiangzi replied.
"Good!" Ying Wujian shouted loudly, but turned his anger into joy, and said with a smile: "Well done! Although you two failed to complete the task, you have been able to adapt properly, and the king is very satisfied. There will be a big reward!"
"Thank you to the prince, the prince did not cure the sins of his subordinates, and his subordinates were already very grateful, and they did not dare to accept the reward. Nan Xiangzi hung his head and said humbly. Ying Wujian waved his hand and told the two of them to step back, Nan Xiangzi kowtowed and got up, Sheng Mohai bowed his hand slightly, and the two of them quit the door together. And at this time, outside the door of the inner hall, there was a person who looked like a prince and grandson: the sword eyebrows and stars were magnificent, the purple gold bundle of hair was heroic, the sword was really sharp at the waist, and he was a good son every step of the way. Dressed in brocade clothes and embroidered dragons, he clearly looks like a magnificent person, only a little sad between his eyebrows, and a hidden sadness in his eyes. Nan Xiangzi saw the visitor, and then bowed humbly and said, "My subordinates have seen the little prince." ”
The little prince nodded slightly, and continued to walk briskly to the hall, Nan Xiangzi and the two went out, Sheng Mohai went to Chaohai Palace, and Nan Xiangzi went back to Qiankun to send it.
The little prince walked up to the inner hall, straightened the wooden case that was kicked over, and put the pen, ink, paper and inkstones scattered on the table back to the table. When the little prince put all the items in order, he didn't see him until he saw him, so he said with a smile: "It's late to leave, just leave these things to the next person to do, you are the dignified little prince, why do you need to do these abbreviated things, how long have you been back?"
Ying Wanli replied: "Father laughed, the child has just returned home, I heard that the father is angry for some reason, and I have come to persuade him." I don't want my father to seem to turn his anger into joy, I don't know why?"
"Oh, not really. Originally, I asked Nan Xiangzi and them to go out to do something, but I didn't want them to not only mess up, but also lose their soldiers, Li Wenao, Mrs. Cui, Qing Xuanyi and others died in battle. Ying Wujian pretended to regret it, shook his head and said. Ying Wanli knelt down and said: "The child asks for his life to share his father's worries, lead the troops to annihilate the chaotic party in one fell swoop, stabilize the country, and revitalize the dynasty!"
Ying Wu hurriedly helped him up, patted him on the shoulder and said: "Father knows that you have a piece of filial piety and ambition to stabilize the country, these Jianghu people are not ordinary green forest rebels, their martial arts are extremely high, even Qing Xianqi and others are not their opponents, you can't make a big move to encircle and suppress, you must outwit and break them one by one." And Zhu Qingqiu and Ren Shanhuai also turned their backs on the king, degraded willingly, and worked hard for the chaotic party, and the father was really exhausted. But even so, my father really doesn't want you to charge into battle and die for my father. ”
"The chaotic party in the rivers and lakes is becoming more and more arrogant, for the sake of the disaster, these people in the rivers and lakes do not get rid of, it is always a big trouble for my dynasty, the sons and daughters watched their father for the country and the people, working day and night, trembling, and the children can't help much, they have no martial arts, nowhere to show, they really don't want to go. Ying Wanli said truthfully.
Ying Wujian patted Ying Wanli's shoulder heavily, and said appreciatively: "It is worthy of my son who should be without illness, and he really has courage." Anyway, my father will obey your heart, and as soon as your twentieth birthday is over, he will arrange for you to serve in the palace and dispatch troops. ”
Ying Wanli knelt down again and said: "The child wants to serve in the court, serve the country, and hope that his father will be fulfilled!" Ying Wujian heard this, was slightly stunned, and had no smile, and soon smiled again, helped Ying Wanli up and said: "There is not much difference between serving in the palace and serving in the court, you can serve the country and send troops." As the saying goes, in the midst of strategizing, the decisive victory is thousands of miles away. Besides, those rivers and lakes are afraid that there will be big moves in the near future, most of them are coming for this king, Li Wenao and others have already died, the defense in the palace is much looser, and my father will rely on your martial arts a lot. ”
"Those chaotic parties dare to come to the palace, which is not good for my father?" Ying Wujian said: "Most of these Jianghu people are outlaws, they will do whatever it takes to achieve their goals, they are bold and reckless, and they do all kinds of evil. It is precisely because of this that this king has worked hard to obtain the jade Buddha for decades, as long as he can solve the mystery, he can dominate the rivers and lakes, quell the rebellion, and not make a big move, labor and money, so that the blood is flowing like a river. Those rebellious parties will definitely come to snatch the Jade Buddha in the hands of this king, and now that the palace is empty, it is just a good opportunity for them to take advantage of, how can they miss it? Along the way, the state capital came to report, and the Dao Xueke and Luo Baiyi of the Ten Ghost Hall have already come to the Tanglin Mansion, and we must be prepared to meet the enemy. ”
Ying Wan took off his robe, knelt down on one knee and said: "Please rest assured, Father, those two chaotic parties are not dead or alive, since they dare to come, with the sword in the child's sheath, they will definitely let them have no return!"
Ying Wujian didn't go to see Ying Wanli, his eyes drifted out of the door, and he smiled secretly in his heart: "Dao Xueke, since you have thrown yourself into the net, it is no wonder that this king is ruthless." ”
"Report-" The guard outside the door suddenly came to report, Ying Wanli took the letter in his hand, turned around and handed it to Ying Wuji. Ying Wu opened the envelope, took out the letter, saw that his face changed slightly, and then handed the letter to Ying Wanwan. Ying Wanli was furious after seeing it, threw the letter on the ground and said: "Zhu Qingqiu and Ren Shanhuai, the two traitors, dare to come back! It's like sending them to death! After the four of them turn, the child will definitely kill them all." Ying Wujian nodded slightly, and then instructed the guard: "You quickly send the news to the state capitals along the way, tell them to monitor carefully, listen to the situation, and report any trouble immediately!" The guard said "No", and turned around and went out.
At this time, when the Chaoying clan and others brought the corpse back to the top of the mountains, it was already a little rotten and stinky, so they immediately carved a monument and built a tomb not far from the Qunying Palace, buried the corpse, and set up an altar to pay tribute to the souls of the dead. The top of the mountains in southern Xinjiang is mostly high mountains and rocks, and only there are more open spaces near the Qunying Palace, and everyone usually lives outside the palace, so it is suitable to be buried here. Xuanyi has also woken up, but his injuries have not healed and he is still a little weak. The six of them burned incense together to worship the spirits of the four daughters of the Eagle Clan.
"The emperor has arrived!" suddenly someone behind him shouted.
The six of them immediately got up to pick up the car, and a group of canopies walked in front, flanked by guards wearing heavy armor and hanging steel swords, and gathered in the center of the Kowloon Luan chariot to the joint burial tomb. The six of them knelt down together and bowed: "Welcome to my emperor, long live my emperor, long live long live." The curtain woven of gold thread was lifted by the attendants, and Emperor Zhongping, who was of the Eagle Clan, sat upright on top of Luanjia, condescending, looking down at everyone, without saying a word, glaring angrily. The six of them didn't get the order, so they didn't dare to get up, and Xuanyi was injured and shouldn't kneel for a long time, and it was already a little painful. When Sima Xuan saw it, he arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, Xuanyi is seriously injured and has not yet recovered, so it is not appropriate to kneel for a long time, and please ask Your Majesty to allow her to get up temporarily." ”
Emperor Zhongping was furious when he heard this, and shouted loudly: "Why, why! Shouldn't you kneel when you see me, or you have learned martial arts, your wings are hard, your bones are hard, you can't kneel, is it possible that you still want to rebel!"
"Subordinates and others don't dare!" Sima Xuan lowered his head and said. When the rest of the people heard this, they were all dissatisfied. They forgot about life and death in the middle plains, and they didn't want to return to their own territory and suffer humiliation. Emperor Zhongping asked slowly: "Why are only the six of you back, didn't you boast in front of me before you set off, saying that you would definitely bring back that sword snowman?"
"Yanxin, Yiran, Jinyu, and mountain ghosts, the four of them have already sacrificed their lives for the country. The subordinates and others fought with Dao Xueke and others for a long time, but, but ......" Sima Xuan didn't finish speaking, but was interrupted by Emperor Zhongping: "But you can't beat that Dao Xueke, you were beaten by the Central Plains martial arts, hugged your head and ran away, fled back to the top of the mountains in a hurry, lost your troops, swept me to the face of the Eagle Clan, and ruined my Northern Expedition plan, what crime should you be guilty of!" Sima Xuan and the others bowed their heads together and said: "The crimes of subordinates and others deserve death!"
Emperor Zhongping slowly stepped out of the chariot and came to the six people, Sima Xuan and the others hurriedly made way of a road, lined up on both sides, and still knelt on the ground. Emperor Zhongping walked to the tomb of the four women buried together, and saw that the stone tablet was engraved with the words "Loyal to the country, sacrifice for the country", Emperor Zhongping picked up an incense stick from the offering table, lit it and inserted it in the incense burner, breathed a long sigh of relief, and seemed to worship the four women. But in the next moment, Emperor Zhongping was furious, and overturned the offering table, the tribute fruit rolled to the ground, the incense burner fell to the ground and split in half, and the incense ash drifted away with the wind. Seeing this, the six people of the Chaoying Clan were already furious, Zhong Liqiu's hand was clenched into a fist, the back of his hand was full of green tendons, and his body couldn't stop trembling, Sima Xuan held Zhong Liqiu tightly, signaling him not to make a mistake, and the rest of the people had already cried silently, silently crying.
Emperor Zhongping made a mess in front of the tomb, and struggled to knock down the stele, which was engraved with the words "loyal to the country and sacrificed for the country" fell to the ground and turned into several pieces of broken stone. When Emperor Zhongping saw this, his heart was a little calmer, he turned to look at the side faces of the six people, pointed to the tomb and said: "Ridiculous, ridiculous! You waste, you waste, have worked hard in vain, teaching you martial arts, providing you with food and clothing, glory and wealth, how have you ever been wronged." And now you have lost face in the Central Plains martial arts, damaging our country's strength, are you worthy of me, worthy of me, worthy of the Chaoying clan that raised you! Don't forget, you are the sword of the Chaoying clan, sooner or later you will go straight to the Central Plains, and take the thousands of miles of the Central Plains for me! If you want to die, you must die on the battlefield, instead of cowering and stealing your life! Just like you waste, you will die when you die, and you dare to build a tomb and erect a monument outside the Hall of Heroes, saying that what kind of loyalty to the country and sacrifice your life for the country is obviously a great crime, and you are innocent of death! You are not worthy of being buried in the land of the Chaoying Clan! You are not worthy of being a bloody Chaoying Clan!"
When the six of them heard this, their hearts burned like fire. Even the accompanying minister, seeing this situation, did not dare to step forward to stop the admonition, but just shook his head silently and sighed. That Zhongli Qiu has always been straightforward, like a fire, and when he heard this, he was already furious, and he broke free of Sima Xuan, waved his fists, and roared angrily at Emperor Zhongping: "What do you say!" Sima Xuan hurriedly got up to stop him, and persuaded him again and again: "What are you doing! Don't go against the grain! Zhong Liqiu, don't make a mistake!" That Zhongli Qiu was blocked by Sima Xuan, Emperor Zhongping was so frightened that he fell to the ground, he really didn't expect these people to dare to be so disrespectful to him.
The surrounding sword-wielding and heavy-armored guards instantly surrounded the six people, Sima Xuan was sweating profusely and was still stopping Zhong Liqiu, Zhong Liqiu shouted with a slight cry: "Big brother! Yan Xin is dead, Yi Ran is dead, we are ten brothers and sisters, brothers and sisters live and die together, but now the four of them have taken the first step, but they are still not at peace, and they have to be insulted by this dog emperor, which is unbearable!"
Sima Xuan also closed his eyes tightly when he heard this, trying to stop the tears from flowing in his eyes: "Don't say it, don't say it again!" How could he not know this truth, and how could he not be heartbroken. His four younger sisters died unexpectedly, but they still had to suffer this insult, he would rather die by himself, and he was insulted by himself, but he was a minister, so he had to obey the emperor's orders, the king wanted his ministers to die, and the ministers had to die, no matter what, Sima Xuan would not do such a rebellious thing. Even if Emperor Zhongping wanted to execute them all, Sima Xuan would die generously. This may be a kind of foolish loyalty, but it is the truth that Sima Xuan believed in all his life.
"It's the opposite, it's the opposite, it's the rebellion!" Emperor Zhongping hurriedly got up, trembling with anger, pointed at the six people, and shouted loudly: "Come on! Sima Xuan's six people secretly went to the Central Plains, betrayed the country to seek glory, and committed the following crimes, attempting to kill the king, and the crime was extremely heinous, and they should be beheaded! Quickly put them on death row, and after three days, they should be beheaded! If anyone dares to resist, they will be killed! But if anyone dares to intercede for them, they will be guilty of the same crime!"
"No!" all the armorers responded to the order, unloaded their weapons, took the ropes, tied up Sima Xuan's six people, and were about to be escorted to the prison, Zhong Liqiu suddenly shouted violently, broke free from the rope, and the armor next to him immediately drew his knife, Zhong Liqiu reached out and took out a few darts in his arms, and cut all the ropes of Xuanyi and others, but did not untie Sima Xuan's ropes. Sima Xuan was still persuading: "Don't make a mistake!" But Zhong Liqiu couldn't take care of a lot, Xuanyi, Yuli, and Liangge also put on a posture after breaking free from the rope, wanting to fight to the death!
When the ministers and attendants fled, Emperor Zhongping was also frightened when he saw this, and retreated again and again, shouting: "Kill them on the spot! Don't let any of them go! Kill them, kill them!"
The armorers pulled out their long knives in unison and swung them at the six people. Zhongli Qiu turned over and dodged, rolled to the side, retrieved his flywheel knife, and with a snort, the blade of the flywheel knife unfolded, spun rapidly, and threw it violently, flying towards the armorers. The flywheel knife sharpened the iron like clay, easily sliced through the heavy armor, cut the armor soldiers over a piece, and then swirled back into Zhongliqiu's hands. Xuanyi knocked over a soldier with one palm, but spat out a mouthful of blood, and pressed her lower abdomen tightly - her internal injuries flared up again. Sima Xuan was a little at a loss when he saw this, he had no room for it, but he didn't want to make a move, he just dodged again and again, and didn't attack. Yuli and Liangge were both bare-handed, and the two of them were back to back, resisting the armor warriors who were surging from all sides like sea water.
Seeing Xuanyi vomiting blood, Zhong Liqiu was about to come to save her, the long knives in the hands of a group of armor soldiers were shining under the sun, and when the head was cut off, they were about to cut down on Xuanyi, but at this time, Xuanyi really had no strength to resist, and subconsciously reached out to block, Zhongli Qiu saw this, and hurriedly threw out a flywheel, twisted the long knife, shook off all the armorers, and relieved Xuanyi.
