Chapter 193: The General's Mansion Explains the Cause
Although the battle in Qiyang was fierce, and the entire Qiyang county town had turned into a dead domain, what happened next made everyone shift their eyes elsewhere. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
On March 14, as the war in Yuguan became increasingly tight, the Son of Heaven, who was in the capital, finally sent 60,000 elite soldiers to aid Ye Tianshuo.
Just when everyone thought that Yuguan would be timed in this way, no one expected that when the 60,000 troops passed through the boundary of the Anbei Protectorate, they were intercepted and killed by the seven elites under the command of Murong Ke, the king of Ding'an!
In this way, the whole country, from the common people to the officials, was shaken, and no one would have thought that the king of Ding'an would openly rebel after a few months of hibernation.
And this Guannei Road was originally the barrier of Gyeonggi Road, the two were as close as adjacent, Ding'an King Murong Ke after killing the reinforcements, he simply did not do two endlessly, and personally led his 40,000 seven kills elite all the way south to attack the capital, fortunately, the troops of the King of Qin were delayed along the road, which allowed the capital to take a little respite, and urgently recruited the leading troops of the assassins in various states to come back to help.
Although the battle situation is stalemate, the capital may not fall quickly, but the reinforcements originally scheduled to be sent to Luoyang have not been heard from again. And that Luoyang is also at this juncture, and it is suffering from the flames of war.
Mo Zhongqing and the three of them had heard on the road that Kong Protector had led the troops to Luoyang again, and when they rushed back all the way non-stop, they found that Luoyang, which was originally full of devastation and had been poisoned by the war, was now even worse.
Judging from the scene of smoke and fire everywhere in the city, the ruins and broken walls, the army led by this Kong Protector has twice invaded Luoyang City and carried out retaliatory burning, killing and looting.
Fortunately, under the leadership of Murong Tassel, everyone finally held on to the city that was in danger in the war.
When Ye Qianxue took the two of them into the General's Mansion, they found that it had also been looted by the Heavenly Star Army, but there was no trace of burning here, and some were just a house full of ruined houses and broken books all over the garden.
Apparently, this group of rebels had raided the General's Palace.
Ye Qianxue looked at these and suddenly realized something, and when she hurriedly rushed back to the house and found the safe and sound "March Strategy" and "Wan'an Collection" in the dark grid, she put down a hanging heart.
Yes, my father Ye Tianshuo once said that these two volumes must be kept carefully, even if you lose your own life, you can't lose them!
These were the exact words of her father when he handed them to her, and she did not know why he valued them, but since she had said so, she was obliged to abide by them.
Come to think of it, these two booklets are very important to my father, and maybe even to the entire Ye family's court.
Ye Qianxue, who was silently thinking about it, put the two volumes back into the dark grid, and carefully restored the dark grid, but at this time, Murong Tassel happened to walk in.
"Xiaoxue, what are you doing?"
Her voice was gentle and beautiful, but Ye Qianxue's body trembled when she heard it, and she immediately turned around and smiled a little reluctantly: "I'm just tidying up the study." By the way, has Princess Xuanzhen settled down?"
Murong Tassel glanced at Ye Qianxue deeply, and a smile suddenly bloomed on his face: "I have settled Princess Xuanzhen, and everything else is recovering." β
"Thank you. β
Although Ye Qianxue's words are light, they are extremely heavy, and Murong Tassel can feel the sincerity contained in these words.
So, he seemed to smile a little happier, but this process was only fleeting, and it was replaced by a face full of self-blame and grief: "Actually, I came to ask for guilt, I didn't guard Luoyang well, and even this general's mansion was ransacked by the Tianxing Army!"
Ye Qianxue shook her head and didn't answer, just looked at Murong Tassel and said: "Murong Ke, the king of Ding'an, has rebelled, and you are his son, so even if you help me like this at the moment, the court will be suspicious, and I am afraid that you will be disliked inside and outside in the future." β
Murong Tassel approached with a disapproving smile and said, "I don't care. Anyone but you can get it wrong. β
As he spoke, he gently took Ye Qianxue into his arms, but a pair of eyes looked at the dark grid behind Ye Qianxue, revealing a look of satisfaction.
It's night, and a light is like a bean.
Mo Zhongqing didn't fall asleep, just as there were so many people in Luoyang City who hadn't fallen asleep.
The people have the troubles of the people, and he has his.
On the way back, Ye Qianxue had already revealed her desire to go to the forbidden land with him to find the Soul Rejuvenation Flower, because she felt that she should also do something for Dong Zhaoyi. But Mo Zhongqing knew that Luoyang couldn't do without her, and it was impossible for him to wait for the rebels to calm down before looking for the Soul Rejuvenation Flower.
So he planned to leave overnight, which would be good for everyone.
Before leaving, he came to the room where Dong Zhaoyi lived, intending to quietly take away the things she had left behind.
He remembered that she had a burden that never left her, and it should be something important, but even if it was just some ordinary clothes, Mo Zhongqing would take it away.
When he found the bag under the pillow, he was surprised to find a booklet underneath. Mo Zhongqing held this palm-sized paper book in his hand and looked at it for a long time, and he was very surprised in his heart.
He remembered that Dong Zhaoyi didn't want to write at all when she was in Meilin Xiaozhu, and even if she personally wrote down to record her daily behavior, she seemed to be lacking in interest.
So what is in this booklet right now?
After a battle between heaven and man, curiosity finally prevailed, and he decided to take a look, just take a look.
It's just that after this glance, he still saw it all.
On December 3rd, the weather was fine.
TodayγI finally started to remember how to write.,When I woke up before, Xianzun ordered me to record the past.,But my mind was blank.,Even my name forgot how to write.γ Inevitably let Xianzun laugh, I specially pretended to be unwilling to write with a cold face, but I didn't expect to be fooled like this, Xianzun still seems to be so easy to deceive?
On December 5th, the sky was overcast.
Xianzun He started to say that he was not Xianzun again, why did I say "again" again? He seems to have already said this? Well, in fact, as long as I fall asleep and wake up again, I will forget the past. It's not good, I don't like the feeling of waking up and being strange...... Also, I vaguely remember that I didn't have to sleep before, so why do I get sleepy now?
On December 7, the sky was cloudy.
I forgot the events of the previous day again, it seems that I have walked a long way with Xianzun before, where are I going? Forget it, as long as Xianzun goes, I will go wherever I go.
On December 10, the sky was cloudy.
I decided that from now on I would not close my eyes and rest or meditate, so that my memories could be coherent, but this booklet still needs to be memorized from time to time in case I need it at any other time.
On December 14, the weather was fine.
Xianzun's behavior is very abnormal, he seems to have changed a lot, take today's teahouse questioning paragraph, that person is arrogant and unreasonable, but Xianzun is blindly tolerating?
And after that, although the words were asked, but Xianzun was not happy, looking at his face, did he think I was too reckless? Hmph, I still thought he was too cowardly. What about the Immortal Venerable I knew before......
On December 15, the weather was fine.
Xianzun led me all the way east, and there seemed to be a war going on along the way, but this has nothing to do with us, and mere mortals can't hurt me and Xianzun for half a point.
On December 16, the sky was fine.
Xianzun found some game, and what he cooked was still delicious. Although the food was useless to me and did not make up for the consumption in my body, I still ate a lot that day.
On December 18, the sky was cloudy.
Immortal Venerable is hungry again, shouldn't he be hungry like me? He actually asked the mantra that had taught me to practice.
On December 19, the sky was fine.
We met a group of mortals before the ruined temple, they were good, and they would at least take out a few steamed buns for Xianzun to fill their stomachs and leave me to wait for the night. I don't know when Xianzun needs sleep and steamed buns to make up for his body's needs, maybe he has changed, maybe he is really not Xianzun? There was movement outside.
October 23, overcast.
The day before yesterday we buried the previous group. When they died, I almost killed them indirectly. I was indifferent to their pleadings, and I was silent when they were angry and cursing. It makes me seem cold-blooded enough, but what is more important than the safety of Immortal Venerable?
Xianzun hadn't slept for a few days, and it was rare to sleep sweetly that night, so I shouldn't disturb him to rest, so I had to guard the door of this temple without leaving an inch. However, when Xianzun woke up that night, I knew that he was holding back his anger with just one look, and it was not until later that the woman named Li Xiangyun killed herself in front of me, Xianzun was completely silent, and from this silence I could read Xianzun's extreme disappointment in me.
In fact, at that time, I could have stopped Xiangyun from killing herself, but she begged me not to interfere, she felt that there were no more people in this world who cared about her, she felt lonely, and she didn't want to exist alone in the world, I understood this loneliness, and even felt some empathy.
In fact, those who survive are the most painful.
December 25, overcast.
Immortal Venerable doesn't seem to be Immortal Venerable, could it be that the person who was injured by me at the beginning is Immortal Venerable, I can't believe what I did that day, why did he become like that?
On December 26, the sky was overcast.
Although Mo Gongzi may not be an immortal venerable, he also has a chivalrous heart, and he is half an apprentice of Xianzun, and it seems that I have been able to wake up because of him, so I still follow him, in addition to repaying the favor, I also want to see Xianzun again through him. Recently, however, I've noticed that I'm feeling a little restless, and I feel like my body is getting worse day by day.
On December 28, the sky was cloudy.
Mo Gongzi found his second senior brother Mo Shaoying, but I felt that something was wrong, but I couldn't say anything wrong, but when I thought about it, no one could hurt Mo Gongzi.
On December 29, the sky was cloudy.
Qingqing is a good girl, she is very cheerful, she said that I should smile more to attract Mo Gongzi, I smiled unnaturally, but she said, "It's ugly, it should be like this." β
On December 30th, the sky was overcast.
The sky is not cloudy all the time, but it seems to be cloudy in my eyes, because my true qi has been depleting under unknown conditions. I know it's not because you don't meditate. I began to try to eat with Mo Gongzi, hoping to supplement my daily needs, but after trying for a few days, I found that this was not enough to make ends meet.
January 15th.
I woke up, but I don't remember what I had done before I fell asleep. If it weren't for this booklet under the pillow, I wouldn't have been able to remember the person Mo Gongzi.
And now I'm starting to get sleepy again. But I clutched the booklet, still trying to write something.
January 16th.
I can feel the coming of the five decays of heaven and man, it seems that time is really running out, Hikoyuki, where are you.
February 20th.
Today I heard in the dark that Mo Gongzi was going to Qiyang with the county lord of Zhaoyang to save people, worshiping the gift of heaven and man's five decays, and my intuition became extremely sensitive, I had a hunch that I could meet Xianzun, and I also had a premonition of the danger of this trip, so I had to follow them no matter what, but I don't know how much strength I can use with such a crippled body.
