Haiyan

The empire that had been suppressed for a long time finally broke out his monstrous anger last night.

The blood in the central square flowed into a river for a while, and was condensed into a large piece spread along the long street by the frosty wind of the cold wind, like a brocade red carpet, which was extremely dazzling.

Except for those who had already been slaughtered, all the slaves in Beijing were detained in the strictest dungeon in Kyoto, and a group of those who struggled and resisted were directly thrown to the cremation platform behind the deer platform to be refined into corpse oil. The previous 2000 people expanded to [-], and for a while, there was panic everywhere.

The heavy chains in his hands were finally removed. In the dull dungeon, a few mice that had been with him for a long time squeaked twice. Then he rushed towards him, with a strong bloody aura that almost made him vomit.

"Major General, let's go!"

The jailer sent him off behind him with a smile on his face. Liang Xiao's half-month-old clothes smelt a slight stench in the air, and the war horses parked in front lowered their heads and scratched their iron hooves back and forth, making a 'clack' sound. Pulling him back to his senses, looking at the expressionless face in front of him, he asked in surprise, "Why are you here?"

Li Su threw the cloak that Ah Cheng was holding onto Liang Xiao, and said calmly, "The third lord has been sent to clean up the central square, and you are still waiting at the Promise Hall."

As he said that, he got on the horse, turned his head slightly, and said: "After all, I was the one who caused you to be implicated in the matter of your imprisonment. Let's go, go to the Wuji Palace first. If you have any dissatisfaction with me, we will talk about it later."

Liang Xiao tugged at the reins in his hand, sat on the back of the horse, and said to Li Su: "You think too much, I don't blame you, no one can think of such a change, and I am the only one who is unlucky, even the soldiers under me If you can’t see it, it’s not a disadvantage if you go in.”

Li Su nodded, and the two horses galloped past on the stone road, covered with snow.

The horns in the distance have already sounded, and the setting sun in the dark sky is like blood, illuminating the desolate city towers with a murderous aura. The young people of the Gyeonggi Palace have been defeated in Yuezhou. Last night, Wang Yu purged [-] central troops On standby, we are about to rush to Yuezhou to take over the rebellion.

The people all over the city have already been massacred by those young people no less than a thousand people, not only can't play a deterrent effect, but it makes those violent slaves become more rampant. Wherever they go, they all use the most cruel means Taking revenge on the dynasty's army.

The young soldiers of the Gyeonggi Palace sent by Wang Yu for the first time dealt a heavy blow to this overconfident empire. After an emergency discussion last night, the Senate finally decided to send Liang Xiao, the righteous son of the protector of the country, to lead the central army. As a lowly slave, if you send a battle-tested veteran, it will really cause a joke. Secondly, Liang Xiao is considered to be one of the most outstanding of these young soldiers.

When the imperial court was just employing people, the imperial court had already lost trust in the Duke Huguo's Mansion because of the escape of the two remnants of the Yin family, but the punishment of the Liang family over the years was enough.

The big black flag had already been planted on the city tower of Yuezhou first, and the sound of killing intent was the howling wind of the Northland, which seemed to be showing off to the empire not far away.

When Liang Xiao was on his way to Yuezhou with [-] central troops, by the Chishui River, the imperial army finally ushered in the long-lost victory in these days. First, they recaptured the gate of Xiangmen, and then pushed the rebels all the way to the south bank of the Hongchuan River. , when the news spread to the capital, the whole court couldn't help but secretly heaved a sigh of relief, as if seeing the long-lost dawn, and even the weather seemed to be getting better.

Wei Shuyou, who was far away from the Yandu Gate, was looking at the secret letter just delivered in her hand. She stood up from her seat in shock, and with a violent sweep of the corner of her clothes, she knocked over the medicine bowl next to her. The black concoction splashed all over his body, the man seemed unmoved, and asked, "Is this news true?"

His face was morbidly pale, his voice was hoarse and deep, and he couldn't help coughing after he finished speaking.

The northwestern frontier is windy and sandy all year round, and it is extremely dry. There has only been one snowfall in winter, and the brazier in the tent is burning. His lips are so dry and cracked that they seem to be about to burst. The herald hurriedly passed the water and said: "The news is absolutely true, not only that, even the [-] iron stupas under King Muchen of the Zhaoyang Department are now being used by the second prince Yin Ping of Yebei, but they haven't had the opportunity to show up yet, presumably they are waiting for the opportunity. "

Wei Shuyou frowned tightly. In fact, he had long suspected that the Battle of Chishui had something to do with the people from Beilu, but he never thought that the person would be Yin Ping, whom he had been looking for for ten years.

That boy who disappeared mysteriously on the Beidu battlefield back then reappeared in the eyes of the world, possessing such immeasurable power, it is really shocking.

"Does the Western Han know now?" Wei Shuyou asked, taking a sip of the water in his hand. The thick black armor on his body made his tall body slightly thinner, and he seemed too tired. The sides are slightly sunken, and the bottom of the eyes are bloodshot, looking extremely sick and tired.

The herald said, "This subordinate is not sure."

Wei Shuyou asked: "Have you found out the forces behind him?"

The herald said: "Not yet, the whereabouts of the second prince of the Northland is really very mysterious, in addition to the slaves in his hands, the descendants of Heluo and Kuafu are all mixed in, but now the queen of Kuafu Just like Tie Futu, he hasn't shown up yet, so I don't know what the second prince is trying to do."

Wei Shuyou thought for a moment and asked him, "When will the new emperor of the Western Han Dynasty ascend the throne?"

The herald said: "Seven days later."

Wei Shuyou: "At that time, the other countries will send envoys to pay homage, and His Majesty should let King Chen go... If you do this, I will write a letter, and you will send the raven to King Chen's mansion, so hurry up. "

The herald was surprised and said, "Does the prince also want to go there?"

Wei Shuyou ignored him, lowered her head and quickly finished writing the things in her hands, sealed them with wax and handed them to him, saying: "Since we have found out the mastermind behind the Chishui Rebellion, we must know that the Western Han Dynasty will soon get the news. ...You let Wei Qing come in, no, let Vice General Zhao come in, I have something to say to him."

The herald retreated as he said, and after a while, another man covered in cold came over with his sword straddled and asked, "What is your lord looking for me for?"

Wei Shuyou said concisely: "I have to go to the Western Han Dynasty in person in a while, you and Jiang Xing take care of this place, don't let the gang of rebels know my whereabouts and make any trouble. It was known by the people in the royal court."

Zhao Ye is one of the nine departments under Wei Shuyou's command. He followed Wei Shuyou through life and death no less than a hundred times. He was a friend of fate and a very trustworthy person. He was surprised at the moment: "The prince is in such a hurry. Could it be that he is going to see Young Master Yu again?"

Wei Shuyou said: "This time it's not as simple as just looking at him. According to the news from Chishui, Yin Ping, the second prince of Beilu, was the mastermind behind the manipulation of this war. Shang Yu has asked me to look for him all these years. Now If there is a turning point, I have to tell him personally."

Zhao Ye was so surprised that he couldn't believe it: "Is this grassland going to take revenge on the Western Han Dynasty? That Young Master Yu..."

Wei Shuyou interrupted him: "I didn't expect Yin Ping to have such a great power when he reappeared. Now there are still many of us hiding in the royal court of the Western Han Dynasty. If I guessed correctly, Yin Ping will definitely be there all these years." It is true that many people were placed in the Western Han Palace, if so, as long as Shang Yu finds him, it will be more convenient to act."

Zhao Ye looked dignified, and said seriously: "My lord, there is a sentence that I have always kept in my heart, and I don't know if I should say it or not."

Wei Shuyou looked at him impatiently, and asked, "Hurry up if you need anything."

Zhao Ye deliberated for a while before saying, "If Young Master Yu hadn't met the prince back then, he would have died in the Beichuan battlefield long ago. The prince and the old prince have done so much for such an outsider these years. If one day the Western Han Dynasty finds out All young master Yu's affairs are supported by our Wu Lie Palace behind his back, he must ask our Majesty for an explanation, His Majesty himself is afraid of the affairs of the vassal king, when the time comes..."

"You are simply presumptuous!"

Wei Shuyou immediately shouted, "You know what you're talking about!"

Zhao Ye bit the bullet and said: "The subordinates know that the prince doesn't like to hear these words, but the subordinates have to think about the prince. The Wu Lie palace is loyal to the emperor. We all know this, but once it gets involved Regarding the matter of Beilu, Prince Wulie's Mansion will most likely be branded as a traitor by the emperor, and it will be very easy to deal with us at that time."

Wei Shuyou's face turned cold instantly, and Zhao Ye was so frightened that he didn't dare to speak again. He said, "Other words, I just think you are a fool today, but if you say that Shang Yu is an outsider to the palace, Don't blame me for being rude to you!"

Zhao Ye said: "This subordinate is aware of his mistake and made a slip of the tongue for a while, but this subordinate still hopes that the prince will understand the pros and cons of this. Please promise this subordinate that once Young Master Yu sees the second prince, let them do their business. don't want......"

"You fart!"

Wei Shuyou was furious, coughed instantly, and scolded: "He is my father's own son, and of course my own brother. It's not up to you to dictate what I do. Get out and lead the fifty army by yourself. After receiving the stick, watch the barracks according to my previous instructions, and wait for me to come back from the Western Han Dynasty... poof—"

Before he finished speaking, a mouthful of blood spurted out from his mouth, splashing all over the table in an instant. Zhao Ye was so frightened that he trembled all over. He hurriedly stepped forward to support his body that was about to fall, and shouted outside: " Military doctor! Wei Qing, tell the military doctor! Hurry up!"

Wei Shuyou fell on Zhao Ye's body, her face was covered with cold sweat, her arms were so weak that she didn't even have the strength to wipe off the residual blood from the corner of her mouth. , bring me the medicine."

Zhao Ye looked at the overturned empty bowl on the table, his eyes were wide open, Wei Qing hurried in and saw this scene, he was completely frightened, Zhao Ye hurriedly shouted: "What are you doing in a daze! Military doctor!"

Wei Shuyou's last words before she fell into a coma were: "I may not be able to go to Western Han Dynasty today, you go there for me in person, and you must tell Shang Yu about it yourself, and in addition, you tell him again... The pot of orchids must be dead, maybe he will give me a new one next year."

·

Chang Sheng's eyelids twitched violently.

The whole person couldn't help gasping because of the pain.

Li Su just came back from Wang Yu, just took off his coat, he quickly supported him and asked, "What's wrong?"

Chang Sheng rubbed his eyes a few times, his heart was in a mess, and he said softly: "It's okay, it's like a needle pricked my eyes suddenly."

Li Su asked him, "Did you not have a good rest last night?"

Chang Sheng shook his head, the snow outside was already heavy, the sky was about to darken, and there was a gloomy everywhere, he said: "I don't know, maybe it is."

He thought for a while and asked Li Su, "Why did you come back so late today?"

Li Su said: "Shanxing Liang Xiao just went to Yuezhou a few days ago, and the Central Army won the battle at Chishui. In addition, preparations for the new emperor's enthronement will be delayed in a few days, too busy."

"Have you had dinner yet?" he asked as if he was talking homely.

Chang Sheng nodded and said, "I've eaten."

Li Su asked him, "What did you eat? Porridge and steamed buns again?"

Chang Sheng smiled and said: "No, if you eat any more, your mouth will fade away. Today your kitchen cooked duck meat. It's really delicious. I asked them to save a lot for you."

Li Su beckoned to Ah Cheng, and said, "Let the kitchen bring me the rice that Young Master Sheng left for me, and I'll eat some."

Chang Sheng asked: "Did you not eat in the palace?"

Li Su raised his eyebrows: "Where do you have time to eat, I'll come back to see you as soon as I finish my work."

Chang Sheng's face flushed, and he turned to pour water in embarrassment.

Li Su changed the subject and said seriously: "Changsheng, seven days later will be the day when the new emperor ascends the throne. Envoys from various countries have arrived one after another these days. The Eastern Han Dynasty said that they would send King Chen over. Zhang Zongyi and Qingjun, Northern Chu doesn’t know yet, but I guess it should be King Xuan Jingyu. When the time comes, all countries will gather, and the fortification in Beijing and China will be three times higher than usual. I must be very busy that day, so be good Find a place to wait for me, and go find you after I finish my work."

Chang Sheng's hand that poured the tea couldn't help shaking, and some of the tea spilled slightly. He handed the cup to Li Su, nodded, and said 'hmm'.

Li Su stretched out his hands to hold his shoulders, staring down at his tall nose with a pair of eyes. Chang Sheng's lips were bright red and his skin was fair.

After being stared at by him for a long time, Chang Sheng glared at him and scolded: "I'll show you to dig out your eyeballs again!"

Li Su couldn't help laughing, and said, "I was thinking, it's a pity that such a pretty face is a man... What a pity!"

Chang Sheng scoffed: "It's too late for you to regret it now!"

Li Su gave two tut tuts and said, "Why should I regret it? How could I be willing to abandon you before the condition you promised me was fulfilled?"

Chang Sheng sneered: "Proton means, if you fulfill that condition, it won't be too late to abandon me?"

Li Su stroked his chin and said seriously, "I don't know about that. It depends on your mood. If you are more obedient, I may consider letting you stay by my side for a few more days."

Chang Sheng said unconvinced: "When the time comes, whoever abandons it may be uncertain!"

After he finished speaking, he turned around and left, but was pulled back by Li Su, and said with a smile: "Don't say such frustrating words again."

Hooking his index finger and knocking on Changsheng's forehead, Li Su continued: "Get a good rest tonight, and I'll take you to a place tomorrow morning."

Chang Sheng asked: "Aren't you going to the palace tomorrow?"

Li Su: "Let's go later, let's go to business first tomorrow."

Ah Cheng came in with dinner, and Li Su ate a few bites casually. When he entered the master bedroom, he found that Chang Sheng was lying in it and fell asleep. Tucked away by the horns, he turned and went out the door.

It's chilly, and night has come.
