Chapter 35 Tao Tangyao slashed in the north

Tang Yao is the concubine of Emperor Yu. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info is the half-brother of the emperor.

Before Tang Yao was proclaimed emperor, he was first enshrined by the emperor as a prince of Tao. After the death of Emperor Yu, Emperor Zhi was in power, and was renamed in Tang by Emperor Zhi and continued to be a prince. Therefore, later generations also called Tang Yao Tao Tang, referred to as Tao Tang, or Tang Yao.

Yao's mother once dreamed of the red dragon and became pregnant, and was born with Yao in 14 months. Therefore, Yao is a god of heaven.

Yao He was born with a dragon face and sun horns, a red face, eyebrows like eight colors, sideburns seven feet two inches, a plump and sharp face, and a foot and wings (xiu).

When Yao was the Marquis of Tao Tang, he once beheaded Yayu in the north, killed the nine babies in the west, slaughtered the snake in the south, and suppressed the wind in the east, and was deeply admired and respected by the princes of the Quartet, and the princes all poured out their hearts and souls to make friends with Tao Tang Houyao.

In the north, there is Shaoxian Mountain (today's Changbai Mountain). There is a strange beast (yayu) in Shaoxian Mountain. This beast has a dragon head, a horsetail, and a human face and tiger claws. Eight feet long, walking like flying. Specializes in feeding on people and eats countless people. The princes and people of the north suffered a lot of scourge, and sent troops to encircle and suppress them several times, but they could not fight the Qiqi, but were eaten by the Qiqi and many soldiers. So they jointly asked the court to send troops to exterminate them.

At this time, Emperor Zhi was in power. Di Zhi was originally frail and sickly, and he was an unassertive and incapable person. The affairs of the court were controlled by Kong Ren, Lu Dou and Hu Gong, and the people at that time called these three people the "three murderers".

After receiving the request of the northern princes, the "three murderers" once sent more than 1,000 soldiers to the Shaoxian Mountain to kill the Qiqi. However, not only did they not kill the Qian, but they lost their troops and lost their generals, and many people were eaten by the Qiqi, and the rest of the soldiers were so frightened that they ran back to the imperial capital Boyi, and no one dared to go again.

At this time, the "three murderers" remembered Tao Tang Hou Yao.

Tao Tang Hou Yao was benevolent, virtuous, diligent and loving the people in his own feudal country. Govern the feudal country prosperous, rich, and strong. The people live and work in peace and contentment, and have plenty of food and clothing. The princes of the Quartet admired it.

This aroused the jealousy of the "three murderers". They were afraid that Yao's fame would be too big and threaten their status, so they had been looking for an opportunity to kill Yao.

In the name of the court, the "three murderers" ordered Tao Tangyao to go to the north to kill Qiqi. They wanted to kill two birds with one stone. Thinking that if Yao Neng killed Qiqi, even if the imperial court removed a harm for the northern princes and improved the prestige of the imperial court. Once Tao Tangyao can't kill the Qiqi, or be eaten by the Qiqi is the best. Even if he is not eaten by the Monkey, but only returns defeated, it will make Tao Tangyao lose face, and his prestige will plummet. At that time, Tao Tangyao was not worried.

Besides, Tao Tang Hou Yao, after receiving the order of the court, without saying a word, took the veteran Hou Yi and Hou Yi's apprentice Feng Meng, led five hundred soldiers and drove to the foot of Shaoxian Mountain in the north.

When he arrived at the bottom of the mountain and set up camp, Yao sought out the locals to understand the situation. Ask the locals to be guides and lead the soldiers up the mountain to kill the rampants.

But the locals were all frightened, and almost every family had people who were eaten by the Qi, and they trembled when they heard the word "Qiqi", and no one dared to be this guide. Finally, an old man stepped forward, he said: "I'm not afraid of being eaten by the rampant, I am willing to be this guide, the scheming is not a scourge sooner or later, I think Tao Tanghou is not a mortal, he will definitely be able to get rid of the rampant." ”

So the old man led Tao Tangyao's army up the mountain the next day.

Tao Tangyao, following the guide, led the soldiers to grope up the mountain. By the time I reached the halfway point of the hill, it was already dark. People were sleepy and tired, so Tao Tangyao ordered the soldiers to sit down and eat some dry food they had brought with them, and prepare to rest for the night and go up the mountain at dawn.

At that moment, I heard the cry of a baby coming from a distance. The sound grew from far to near, and the cry became closer and closer, more and more poignant, making people feel creepy to listen. When the guide heard the baby's cry, his face immediately changed greatly, and he said, "This is the cry of the monkey, and the monkey is about to arrive, so hide it quickly." ”

The rampant ran while shouting, running extremely fast, and in an instant, he had already passed by Tao Tangyao's side. No one could see what it looked like, and it had already run away without a trace.

Tao Tangyao said: "Is this the Monkey?" The guide said: "This is the Monkey, it smells of people, it must be coming to us." Because I ran too fast just now, I ran too far and I will turn back immediately. Tao Tang Houyao ordered: "Everyone quickly show all the weapons, in case it will come back and hurt people in a while." ”

As soon as Tao Tangyao's words fell, he heard the baby's cry and turned back. The hairs on everyone's bodies stood on end. The soldiers bowed their bows, their swords unsheathed, and their eyes wide open and ready for battle.

In the darkness of the night, I saw a huge black figure galloping towards this direction, and its mouth let out a cry like a baby. When the giant beast ran closer, Hou Yi and Feng Meng opened their bows and arrows, aiming at the eyes of the giant beast respectively, and the two of them shot at Qi Qi in unison.

I could only hear the screams of the running beast in front of me, and the soldiers followed behind and fired arrows together, and the arrows rained down on the giant beast. The beast turned and howled and ran up the hill.

All the soldiers knew that the beast was wounded. They all said: "The Monkey is injured, the Monkey is injured." Some said, "Although he was wounded, he was not fatal." "They all advocate immediately catching up with the rampant, giving him a fierce chase and a fierce blow, and putting him to death.

But Tao Tangyao said: "It's night, we are not familiar with life, and we must be on guard against a counterattack at any time." Since he is seriously injured, he will not run far, so we will have a good night's sleep here, recharge our energy, and go up the mountain tomorrow to look for it. Then the soldiers fell silent.

The next day, it was dawn. The soldiers were fed with dry food and drank plenty of water. Begin to go up the hill in search of the Monkey. Along the way, I saw bits and pieces of blood on the ground and in the bushes.

With the trail, it is easy to find the lynx again. When it was almost noon, I saw a ramp in the distance. He was lying on the hillside, panting. All the soldiers showed their swords and arrows, and Tao Tangyao also drew his sword.

The eyes of the monkey had been blinded by Hou Yi and Feng Meng, but his ears were still good. Hearing the voice, he stood up again. I pricked up my ears and listened, and then rushed in the direction of the crowd again. The soldiers shot another burst of arrows, but the ramp was covered with scales and armor, and the bow and arrows could not be shot, and they were all nailed to the body, like a big hedgehog.

When Qiqi rushed to him, Tao Tangyao held a sword in his hand and saw that Qiqi's belly was the weakest part, so he stepped up and went under Qiqi's stomach. Holding the sword in both hands, he stabbed it into the stomach of the monkey and slashed it backwards.

Qi Qi was running forward, and Tao Tangyao's sword was already inserted into his stomach. The two sides exerted force, and Tao Tangyao's sword immediately cut a long gaping hole in Qi Qi's stomach. The soldiers took advantage of the momentum and rushed up, chopping and chopping indiscriminately.

He couldn't hold it anymore and screamed hoarsely. Then, like a hill that had been knocked down, it fell to the ground with a thud.

The common people under the mountain heard that Tao Tang Hou Yao really killed Qi Qi. At first, I didn't believe it, but I had the courage to run to the mountain to see that the fox had really been killed, so they all ran up the mountain to see the excitement. There was an endless stream of people coming and going, and everyone cut a large piece of meat and took it home to eat to relieve the hatred in their hearts.

Since then, Tao Tangyao has become famous among the princes of the north. The people all said that Tao Tangyao was a god descended from heaven and a savior of the common people.

The three murderers in the court originally wanted to kill Tao Tangyao with a knife, but later not only did they not kill Tao Tangyao, but instead contributed to Tao Tangyao's great achievements and became famous all over the world. There is no prince in the world who does not admire Yao, and everyone wants to make friends with Yao. The three murderers in the court regretted not falling.
