Chapter 39 Reconquest Section 8 Reminiscences of the Past
The trace of pity that Xiao Yan had for her situation just now disappeared in an instant with Wu Shuyuan's shouting. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
He raised his body and said coldly: "Wu Shuyuan, Lian Haoxin came to see you, but you are such a couplet, do you really want to die?"
Wu Shuyuan's originally good-looking eyes were full of evil at this time, and she said with a smile: "Your Majesty, I have lived a life worse than death over the years, don't you know? When you killed Xiao Baojuan with one sword, you should have killed me again." But you didn't kill me, you see how good I look, you just want to know that I am, right? Haha---- Actually, you don't know at all, I don't like to be with you, I've never liked it, it's just that I was already pregnant with Xiao Baojuan's flesh and blood at that time, I know that I can't die, I want to give birth to him, raise him, let him kill you, and avenge his father. Xiao Yan, you understand today, the son I gave birth to is not yours at all, he is not your son. β
The two eunuchs beside Xiao Yan heard Wu Shuyuan's hoarse shout, and their whole bodies trembled with fright, and the palace lamp in their hands seemed to be unable to hold it.
Xiao Yan's face became extremely pale, he didn't want to mention the ugliness of his life, but the woman in front of him became extremely crazy at this time, she didn't care about the royal face at all, and she was going to shout here, although Wu Shuyuan shouted that she had never liked Xiao Yan, but Xiao Yan knew that she liked her, and her love for her had never changed over the years.
"Lian knew that he killed too many people when he was young, so I have been believing in Buddhism for more than ten years, not eating meat, not close to women, this harem has never been lucky, just to atone for my crime of indiscriminate killing---- Xiao Yan said to her sincerely.
"Hmph---- are not close to women? Are you not close to women because you want to atone for your sins? Your Majesty, are you a fool to me? You are not close to women in the name of Buddha, because you can't satisfy any woman at all, and you were already a waste person before you believed in Buddhism!" Wu Shuyuan said coldly.
After Xiao Yan heard her words, his face suddenly turned gray, the words of this Wu Shuyuan in front of him were poking at the most painful thing in Xiao Yan's heart, he since Xiao Baorong Zen and him, he worked hard day and night, and slowly collapsed, he faced the eyes of many concubines in his harem, but he couldn't continue to be fortunate with them, he was looking for a good solution, and finally came up with a good way to become a monk, he took advantage of the matter of Buddhism, and began to not get close to women, not to eat meat----, originally he thought that this matter was done seamlessly, but he didn't think of the weak woman in front of him who didn't even look in his eyes, but he broke the sky with a wordγ
"It seems that ---- you have seen everything clearly, Wu Shuyuan, that Lian can only have nothing to say to you today. Xiao Yan said coldly, "Lian is going to drive in person soon, I originally wanted to go to the north, so I would have the opportunity to meet Xiao Zong, if you miss your son, Lian can help you bring him a word---- Hmph, what you said today is to cut off your last chance!"
Wu Shuyuan looked at him in a daze, and only after a while did she speak: "Yes? You are going there, do you think you will be able to see my son when you go? You can't see him, I have already brought my words to him, if he receives my letter, he will definitely not see you again." β
Xiao Yan was stunned: "Who brought the letter to him for you?"
The corner of Wu Shuyuan's mouth showed a treacherous smile: "Of course, only those who can enter this cold palace can bring the letter out." Does the emperor really think that this palace is monolithic? Do you really think that the people around you are all loyal people? Your Majesty, there are many people who look at your dragon chair well. β
Xiao Yan stared at her eyes for a long time, and then slowly turned around, Wu Shuyuan looked at him and was leaving, and asked anxiously: "I said so many things that shouldn't be said, won't you kill me?"
Xiao Yan stopped, Wu Shuyuan said a lot of past things he wanted to forget tonight, it turned out to be to die. Xiao Yan couldn't imagine that the days in this cold palace turned out to be so difficult, so difficult that this woman was unwilling to live for a day.
"Shuyuan is still surrounded by the clothes that Zong'er wore when she was young?" Xiao Yan asked slowly after a long time.
Wu Shuyuan couldn't imagine that Xiao Yan was still thinking about Xiao Zong, Xiao Yan's words made her suddenly remember the days when she had just given birth to Zong'er, the Nanliang Emperor in front of her, never thought that the child he gave birth to was not his own, and he was pampered by Zong'er, and he would come to his residence to visit Zong'er after returning from the early dynasty. The past events that had been forgotten in Wu Shuyuan's heart ---- practicing martial arts were surging into her heart like a turbulent river, she sobbed softly, since Xiao Yan was crazy about Buddhism, the sisters in the palace gradually became cold, that Xiao Yan was originally very fond of her, but since then he has never been fortunate to any concubine, although the other sisters have complaints, but they are not angry, but she was originally the concubine of Xiao Baojuan, the marquis of the east, and followed Xiao Yan in desperation, and the injustice in her heart swelled more and more with Xiao Yan's indifference to herself, so that he often cried in front of his son about the previous things, so that Xiao Zong, who was already manic and paranoid, recognized his identity even more, and the conflicts and incomprehension again and again made Xiao Zong and his brothers and sisters drift apart, after injuring Xiao Yuyao, the princess of Yongxing, Xiao Zong fled to the Northern Wei Dynasty alone---- Wu Shuyuan remembered the suffering she had been in this cold palace since then, all this was not Xiao Yan's fault, not her son's fault, but an irreparable mistake she had made.
She lowered her pillow and took out the small shirt that her son wore when he was a child and handed it over, and the accompanying eunuch hurriedly stepped forward to take it and handed it to Xiao Yan. Xiao Yan looked at the shirt in his hand, and his eyes were still shaking Xiao Zong's cute figure when he was a child---- but now it is a thing or a person, and he can't get it back from the past days.
"Your Majesty---- I know now that I have done something wrong, I shouldn't have told Zong'er about the old things, let him hate you, and finally rebelled against ---- emperor, now I really don't want to live, the emperor will give me a death." Wu Shuyuan was discouraged at this time, and just wanted to get out of this boundless sea of suffering as soon as possible.
"If you want to die, it's not that easy, you still live like this. Xiao Yan replied to her coldly.
"Your Majesty, kill me, kill me now, and no one will mention the past again, Your Majesty---- wouldn't it be better for you to kill me?" Wu Shuyuan hated Xiao Yan to kill himself with a sword at this time, and the thousands of troubles could disappear with his death.
Xiao Yan gritted his teeth and didn't say any more, but ordered someone to take charge of the palace lamp and led him to slowly leave the cold palace. When he arrived outside the palace gate, He Zheng was waiting for him there. When Xiao Yan saw it, he pointed his finger at the two eunuchs who were following him: "Kill them!"
The two eunuchs didn't know why the emperor had given such an order, and when He Zheng drew his sword and walked towards them, they let out a wail, and before they could beg for mercy, He Zheng killed both of them with a sword.
After He Zheng killed them, he came to Xiao Yan, and Xiao Yan said to him coldly: "Pass on my holy decree, and tomorrow Lian will get up and drive the expedition in person." β
"Yes, Your Majesty!" He Zheng bowed.
At this time, the Wei army camp, Yuan Ying was beating drums to gather generals, that Daxingtai Xing Luan looked at Yuan Ying's men and horses at this time, and his heart was very sad, Zhongli fought down, Yuan Ying suffered huge losses, and more than half of his men and horses were gone, and the rest of the soldiers looked panicked in their hearts, and they didn't know what the Lord was going to do.
"General Yuan, I also have to trouble the general to take the men and horses to Zhongli, if you encounter a strong enemy, the general can't fight hard, after covering me to go south, the general can quickly evacuate. Xing Luan said.
"Lord Xing, don't worry, I, Yuanying, will definitely cooperate with my lord's actions. Yuan Ying nodded in agreement.
"Victory and defeat are all in one fell swoop. Xing Luan sighed, "I hope God can help me succeed." β
After Yuan Ying listened to his plan, he was also extremely at a loss in his heart, no one knew whether this plan would succeed at this time, and everything could only be seen after Xing Luan's action.
Xing Luan and Yuan Ying out of the camp will go their separate ways, he led the army all the way to Yongzhou, long before Yuan Ying set out to attack Zhongli, he has been optimistic about another route to attack the Southern Liang, that is along the mountains outside Yongzhou, detour into Yongzhou, as long as Yongzhou is taken, Wei Rui and Cao Jingzong, who are far away in the direction of Zhongli, are restrained by Yuan Ying's soldiers, and cannot reinforce Yongzhou in a short time, once the gateway to the northwest of Southern Liang is opened, the Great Wei Iron Cavalry led by him will sweep the capital Jiankang of Daliang.
Ah Danzhen, who set out a few days earlier than him to explore the road, was already waiting for the arrival of his army outside Yongzhou City at this time. After seeing Xing Luan's team, Na Danzhen hurriedly stepped forward to report: "Lord Xing." β
"What's the situation in Yongzhou?" Xing Luan's army hurried day and night, and finally arrived in Yongzhou at the time he had scheduled.
"My lord, the territory of Yongzhou is very calm at this time, and the defenders have not changed much. Edan Zhen replied.
Xing Luan nodded slightly: "It's still early, and we'll wait until the sun goes down before we start moving." β
"Yes!"
Xing Luan looked up at the sun that was about to set, and for some reason there was a faint uneasiness in his heart, the reconnaissance team he sent to Yongzhou and Zhongli along the way, although he did not see any movements of Liang Jun, but this faint uneasiness in his heart could not be eliminated.
He looked at the soldiers who followed him south, thinking that Yuan Xiang's life and death were unknown, and Chabu died under Zhongli City, the pain in his heart was beyond measure, he thought he could look down on these things of life and death over the years, but when these things happened, he realized that he couldn't get rid of the sorrow brought by death at all, especially after the disappearance of the lovely Yuan Xiang, he was even more guilty and couldn't extricate himself, if the lovely girl really died on the battlefield, then the conscience debt he was carrying would have another layer.
Ah Dan Zhen looked at the gradually setting sun without blinking, and when he couldn't see it, Ah Dan Zhen cautiously asked, "Lord Xing, do you want to rush over now?"
Xing Luan slowly collected his thoughts, he looked at Yongzhou in front of him, nodded and said, "Shan Zhen, do you remember the path you took when you left Yongzhou last time?"
"The last general has never forgotten. β
"You led a cavalry of 5,000 men to quickly rush to the north gate of Yongzhou City along that path, and took the north gate at night. β
"The last general commands!" said Adanzhen.
"Also, if necessary, attack with fire!" Xing Luan admonished again.
"Rest assured, my lord, we have the rocket ready and ready to use. β
"Go!" Xing Luan ordered in a low voice.
After receiving the order, Adanzhen led the cavalry to the north gate of Yongzhou quickly, Xing Luan ordered the two soldiers Cui You and Sima Zhi'an to assist Adanzhen in two ways, and he was stationed in the same place, waiting for the news of Adanzhen's siege.
Half an hour later, the shouts of killing under the north gate of Yongzhou shook the sky, and the cavalry led by Adanzhen and the defenders of Yongzhou began a difficult duel.
Xing Luan quietly listened to the shouting and killing sound not far away, and listened to him suddenly shouted loudly: "Immediately upload my order, go to the north city gate to pass the order and General Edan Zhen, and retreat immediately!"
