The male concubine of the violent son
Chapter 61 Can You Sleep? (1)
King Cheng reined in his horse, swung the hundred-jin sword, and the sharp blade split a dragon-scale army in half, and the corpse flew out, knocking down one piece.
Shang Zhi scolded: "Uncle Huang, do you want to rebel?"
King Cheng tightened his horse, and the horse roared upwards, and landed with a slap of front hooves, which shocked people's hearts: "Stop giving this king this set of tricks. This king is fighting bandits on the front line, and he is close to death, but you treat my wife in the capital." It’s not like this to deceive others.”
He raised his heavy knife and sternly shouted: "If the sky is fair to me, why should I start killing people? If people don't offend me, I won't offend others. I will guard the rivers and mountains and protect the territory. I don't want you to eat my family and kill my family. I passed it on to the king. Order, protect the princess and the prince, kill!"
When he gave an order, the iron armored army showed their cherry guns, and there were no survivors wherever they went.
The number of Dragon Scale Army is dozens of times that of this Iron Armored Army, but it is still unable to stop the Iron Armored Army from attacking like a raging wave!
Protected by the guards, Shang Zhi retreated steadily. He grabbed one of the guards and shouted: "King Cheng has rebelled, go and ask General Wu Zhuguo to transfer troops."
King Cheng has been through the battlefield for a long time, and he trained this Iron Armored Army with his own hands. He once killed the Turks and destroyed the Northern Yi. Wherever he went, there were corpses everywhere. Therefore, King Cheng's Iron Armored Army was called the Killing Army.
This armored army is like entering no man's land in the swampy and mountainous areas with harsh climate, let alone Kyoto.
But every army, no matter how good or powerful, has weaknesses.
Although King Cheng's Iron Armored Army is victorious and frightening, its movement speed is slow and its flexibility is not enough.
The horses and soldiers of the Iron Armored Army are all wearing thick and hard armor. The armor is heavy and moves slowly, so this is the disadvantage of the Iron Armored Army. Self-defeating.
What's more, if King Cheng gets rid of the banditry, if he rushes back to the capital overnight, he will definitely not be able to bring back all the Iron Armored Army. Now, what is here is probably all he can bring back. This army is less than [-]% of all the troops in his hands. One, so as long as it is delayed long enough, then there is nothing to fear.
After many trips before, this armored army has been exhausted to the extreme. Now he only needs to wait until General Wu Zhuguo leads his troops to come and capture him alive.
Once King Cheng is captured, he can force King Cheng to hand over his military power, so the Iron Armored Army will not be classified as the king's division?
Shang Zhi was thinking about it, and the guards were ordered to retreat!
Outside the imperial mausoleum, there were countless casualties, and they were in a mess.
In an instant, more than half of the Dragonscale Army died under the Iron Armored Army, Shang Zhi had no intention of retreating, and said viciously: "King Cheng has rebelled, take him down and make him Marquis of Ten Thousand Households."
The Dragon Scale Army had no choice but to swarm up again and besiege Chengwang, but the Dragon Scale Army had too many people and was no match for the Iron Armored Army who slaughtered thousands of barbarians.
This Iron Armored Army is an elite army trained by King Cheng. Following him through life and death, millions of corpses have been trampled over, not to mention these dragon scale army who only know how to fight with wheels.
Shang Rong hugged Ran Qinggu and soon joined King Cheng.
King Cheng's eyes turned red, and he shouted: "Rongyu, take your concubine mother and Yu'er out of the city, your elder brother will pick you up, and my father will save your second and third brothers, and I will come to you later."
Shang Rongyu: "Yes, father, take care."
King Cheng waved his hand and beheaded the two Dragon Scale Army: "Usually you are so angry with me that I am half dead, but you don't necessarily want me to take care of myself."
Shang Rongyu said loudly, "It is more honorable to be pissed off by your son and die by a defeated army."
King Cheng escorted Shang Ronghe out of the siege: "I think it's more honorable to beat my son to death."
He called to his lieutenant general: "Escort the princess, princess, and concubine out of the city."
The two lieutenants cupped their hands and said, "Yes."
Shang Rongyu mounted an iron-clad horse, put Ran Qinggu in front of him, let Ran Qinggu lean against his chest, after a while, his chest was hot and humid, it was the blood from Ran Qinggu's body.
He tightened the rope of the horse, pulled the horse's back eagerly, and galloped towards the city gate.
He galloped to the city gate, which had already been closed. Three or four rows of wooden blocks with sharp cones were placed in front of the city gate, and archers surrounded the city wall.
The guard stood on the tower and said angrily: "King Cheng conspired to rebel, the following offends the superior, who is now Chengwang's mansion, shoot and kill, kill!"
Before he could say the word "kill", he saw the archers on the tower falling from the tower one by one, and landed on the wooden bar embedded with sharp cones.
"Cousin, we're here." Bai Yu shouted.
She swept a row of guards with a whip, and the guard couldn't react in time, and was about to strike, but he found that no matter what moves he used, the woman in front of him could beat the moves, and her kung fu was also varied, with punches, palms, palms, and so on. It was fighting, and after a while it was Sanda.
When he couldn't resist, the whip wrapped around his head like a snake's tail, strangling his neck severely.
Bai Yu took out the key from the guard's arms and threw it to Taozi, "Go and open the city gate."
Several guards were about to snatch the keys, but Tao Zi hooked them away with a whip. She strangled the tail of the whip on the tower, and jumped off the tower more than ten feet high with the whip...
Seeing that Ran Qinggu was covered in blood and his face was pale, she cried in fright: "Young master, what's wrong with you? Young master..."
Shang Rongyu said sharply: "Quickly open the city gate."
Only then did Taozi realize it, and quickly opened the city gate: "My son, you take my young master away, you must save him, I will end the heir to Yu'er."
She is naturally aggressive in her bones, and she is very happy to be beaten, but now her only relative in this world has been injured, and her life and death are unknown, which arouses the killing in her bones.
She waved her long whip to meet the pursuers.
Bai Yu solved the trouble on the tower and jumped down.
"Second prince...over the tower..." the guard of the Dragon Scale Army reported.
Shang Zhi said angrily, "What's wrong with the city tower?"
Guard: "Shang Rongyu has already left the city."
Shang Zhi kicked the guard down, and roared angrily: "You trash, don't send troops to chase after him."
The guard lamented: "If we can't catch up, our people won't even be able to get out of the city."
Shang Zhi glared at the guard fiercely: "Why can't we get out?"
The guard said reassuringly: "Two unidentified women appeared there. They not only set fire to the tower, but also locked the gate. Second Prince, put out the fire quickly, otherwise the tower will collapse and the consequences will be disastrous."
Shang Zhi said angrily: "Trash, trash, you can't even take down two women."
"Report—King Cheng has led his troops out of the imperial city, and the Iron Armored Army has retreated." Another guard came to report.
Shang Zhi was furious: "Didn't I ask you to drag him? Will the Iron Armored Army be exhausted?"
Guard: "King Cheng has been on the battlefield for a long time, and he really can't hold back."
Shang Zhi was furious: "It's just trash, trash."
The guards felt quite wronged one by one.
If King Cheng had been taken down so easily, he would have been taken down long ago.
What's more, King Cheng has been in the army for so many years, and he has fought at least dozens of battles. How could he not know his own shortcomings?Now that you know the disadvantages, how can you love to fight?He is a brave and resourceful prince, not a reckless brat.
"Report—" A guard came from the direction of the north tower.
After the previous two incidents, Shang Zhi already had a certain tolerance in his heart, and he said coldly, "What's the matter?"
Guard: "The third prince escaped from the capital and is now heading north."
Shang Zhi sternly said: "The third child is nothing to worry about. Now we are concentrating our forces to pursue King Cheng and Shang Rongyu. If they are allowed to join the Iron Armored Army, the consequences will be disastrous."
The generals cupped their hands and said, "Yes."
At this time, Shang Zhi's confidant came back. He rode a big horse and came over with a dazed expression: "Second prince, what happened here? This subordinate went to Beicheng for a while. How could the capital be so chaotic?"
Shang Zhi gave his confidant a cold look.
His confidant could see that Shang Zhi was in a fit of anger, and he quickly said with a flattering smile: "Second prince, this subordinate has lived up to this trip north, and found a shocking news."
Shang Zhi had no time to think about other things, and said angrily, "Say."
The confidant smiled flatteringly: "The imperial concubine is a man."
Shang Zhi's face was livid, as if he wanted to eat people.
When Ran Qinggu had a miscarriage before, he sent someone to Beicheng to investigate Ran Qinggu, but he didn't expect Ran Qinggu to admit it first.
The confidant smiled: "In order to prevent His Highness from believing, I brought an old man from Beicheng who had met him..."
Shang Zhi said sharply, "Get lost."
The confidant chased after him: "Second prince, it's true, the imperial concubine is really a man..."
Shang Zhi got on his horse and said, "One more word, this hall will kill your whole family."
Today, everyone really wants to touch him.
==
Hall of Mental Cultivation.
Shang Qianxian sat in front of the desk, he was out of breath from coughing.
The eunuch worried and persuaded: "Your Majesty, the medicine is getting cold, you can drink some medicine first and then read the memorial."
"Your Majesty, the second prince begs..." Before the eunuch could finish his voice, Shang Zhi had already entered the hall and knelt down on one knee, "Your servant bows to my father."
Shang Qianxian ignored him.
Shang Zhi just knelt like that, the snow fell quietly outside the house, and the sound of rinsing was accompanied by Shang Qianxian's suppressed coughing!
After a while, the eunuch reminded in a low voice: "Your Majesty, the Second Highness is here."
Shang Qianxian raised his eyes and raised his eyebrows: "Get up."
Shang Zhi smiled gently, and picked up a bowl of soup on the table: "Father, you should take good care of your body, and don't be so tired."
His eyes fell on the open window, and the snow was fluttering outside the window.
He scolded: "Close the window quickly, my father is so seriously ill, which slave without eyes..."
Shang Qianxian snorted coldly: "I stepped aside."
Shang Zhi smiled knowingly: "Father likes to watch the snow, how about in a few days, son will accompany Father to the palace?"
Shang Qianxian said coldly: "No need."
Shang Zhi put the bowl of soup on the table with a bang.
The strong bitter smell of the medicine permeated everywhere, and the medicine stains splashed out and flowed all over the table.
Shang Zhi said coldly: "Father, the crown prince is dead, you don't intend to deal with your ministers all your life, do you?"
Shang Qianxian stood up holding the desk, his back hunched, his white hair was gray, and he looked directly at Shang Zhi, "I want you to tell me the truth, the prince's death has nothing to do with you?"
Shang Zhi was silent.
Shang Qianxian said sharply, "Say it!"
Shang Zhi laughed at himself with a "puchi": "Sure enough."
Then, his eyes full of love and expectation turned into provocation and mockery: "Yes, the prince's death has something to do with me. I knew he was going to rebel, but I didn't stop him. I even blinded you, Father. I opened your eyes." I turned a blind eye and let his reinforcements come to the capital. It was me who guarded the emperor every day during that time, making him think he had fallen out of favor and rebelled against him. It was me who quietly reported the news about the prince during that time. The booklet and information were withheld, so that the father did not get the news of the crown prince, so he did not know that the crown prince was planning to rebel."
Shang Qianxian sat back on the chair unacceptably: "It's really you, why?"
He said that with his control over the prince, he had no information about why the prince rebelled.
If he had noticed the trouble in advance, he would have prevented the prince from rebelling, so the prince would not have gone mad and died in that cruel way.
"Why? Because of you, Father." Shang Zhi gritted his teeth word by word, "It was you, Father, who killed that fat pig. Obviously I am better than him, and I am better than him in everything. I am willing to do everything for you, but your eyes are always on that fat pig, why have you ever looked at me? I have never regretted killing him."
Shang Qianxian asked in a trembling voice: "Do you know what happened to the princes who were replaced in the past dynasties?"
Shang Zhi frowned, not knowing why.
Shang Qianxian's voice was light and light: "How many of the deposed princes died well?"
The last thing Shang Jue said to him before he died was, why did he force him?Why force him to be the prince in the eyes of others?
But he can't help but force him, don't force him, hand over such a big country into his hands, can he stand it?
If he doesn't force him, then the courtiers will force him to depose the prince, and none of the deposed princes will die safely, and they will all become stepping stones for the new prince.
It's not that he doesn't know that Shang Zhi is more talented, it's not that he doesn't know that Shang Zhi has ambitions, but he has no choice.
Can he hand over Shang Jue's life to Shang Zhi?Obviously not.
Shang Zhi laughed at himself: "Sure enough, you still can't trust me. In your eyes, I am such a miserable person. I will definitely kill my brother for the throne? If you cared more about me, I would not compete with the crown prince for the position of heir. Because in your eyes, only your throne and the East Palace are the most important. Since you were young, you have given the prince everything good, and you have given him all your care. The only thing I have is What the crown prince doesn't have is that mink."
Shang Qianxian shook his head lightly: "It's not that I don't believe you, but what kind of person I am, I know very well, what I have experienced, how dare I take my son to gamble?"
He killed the elder brother who protected him and cared about him.
So he couldn't believe his son, but he didn't expect it to happen anyway.
Shang Zhi said sadly: "It doesn't matter, believe it or not, who else can you rely on besides me, Father? Father is seriously ill and weak, so pay more attention to your body and don't get tired. Come..."
A group of guards quickly came in: "Second Highness."
Shang Zhi: "The decree continues, the emperor is grateful for the death of the prince due to illness, and the rebellion of the king Cheng. His illness has worsened and he is no longer able to be called in charge of the court. Therefore, from now on, the emperor's second son, Shang Zhi, will temporarily take the position of the crown prince and supervise the administration of the country."
Guard: "Yes."
Shang Qianxian trembled with anger: "You... want to imprison me? You..."
Shang Zhi said coldly: "In order for the father to recuperate well, the ministers have ordered people to surround the Hall of Mental Cultivation. From now on, the father can recuperate in peace and don't have to worry about state affairs."
After he finished speaking, he drew out his sharp sword and split the inkstone on the table that the crown prince gave to Shang Qianxian into two halves, and the ink splashed all over the floor.
Withdrawing his sword, he walked coldly and heartlessly towards the outside of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and said as he walked: "The order will be passed down, King Cheng Shang Qianzhen conspired to rebel, abolish the title of King Cheng, and arrest King Cheng against the party with the whole world's masters. The third prince, Shang Yuzhou, has colluded with the enemy and treasoned the country, and he will be arrested together."
The guard cupped his hands: "Yes."
As soon as Shang Zhi walked to the door, Shang Qianxian spurted out a mouthful of blood in a panic, and the eunuch shouted anxiously: "Your Majesty, what's wrong with you? Your Majesty... Imperial Physician, send the Imperial Physician quickly..."
Shang Zhi quickly turned around, intending to help Shang Qianxian, but after walking a few steps, it was as if he was frozen, unable to move any more.
After the prince died, no matter how many times he approached his father, he was finally pushed away.
He didn't want to be pushed away again, so he chose not to approach.
He turned around and yelled at the palace servants: "Go and call the imperial doctor."
The palace man took the order: "Yes."
He turned his head to look at Shang Qianxian, who had white hair and blood on his lips, and Shang Qianxian also looked at him.
It was snowing heavily outside the window, and the father and son looked at each other without saying a word.

When Ran Qinggu woke up, he was in an exquisitely furnished room.
The owner of this room should love calligraphy and painting very much. There are four or five calligraphy and painting paintings by different people hanging on the wall, but those calligraphy and paintings are either ghosts, ghosts or gods, or Bodhisattvas.
There is a strong aroma in the room, which is mixed with sandalwood and wormwood.
Outside the room, there are monks muttering some scriptures, intermittently interspersed with the sound of Taoist priests opening the altar, and there seems to be the sound of the sorceress who is nervous and having an epileptic seizure.
Guard No. [-] asked the other guards with a constipated face: "Should I hire a doctor for the son, I always think he... has something wrong here."
He was young, so he was lucky enough to join the Iron Armored Army when he joined the army, but because of his young age, he didn't have a place to go to the front line, so he could only do odd jobs in the rear.
So he sent it to take care of the prince's son, concubine and other relatives of the palace.
But he didn't expect to see such a surprising scene on the first day he came.
Outside the door of the concubine's room, there are monks chanting sutras to overcome all hardships, and Taoist priests killing all monsters, ghosts and snakes, and then the nearby witches who specialize in cheating food and drinking are found, walking around the concubine's house like a convulsion. Stopping and walking, opening and closing his mouth, it seems to be chanting words... Even the half-blind man who set up a stall at the entrance of the next village was found...
But there is a premise that these people are not allowed to make a sound, like watching a shadow play without sound every day.
Guard No. [-] smiled: "Are you new here?"
Guard No. [-] nodded: "Yes, I just took up the post yesterday."
Guard No. [-] pointed to a few people next door who silently threw two copper coins as a reward after the Taoist priest finished the practice: "See, this is an old man. Let me tell you, if the concubine Shizi doesn't wake up for a day, the son will have to pay for it." Toss, he said that as long as it is a method, he will try it. Yesterday, the three Taoists went crazy, and the two monks recited the scriptures until their voices split. I almost committed suicide by throwing myself into a well after being tormented by the prince, but I was rescued in time, I heard that I hanged myself after returning home last night, I should be preparing for the first seven days today..."
Another guard had a straw in his mouth: "Our son, my fate has always been my choice, this is probably the first time he believes in fate, tsk tsk tsk, it's really rare..."
Shang Rongyu stood beside Ran Qinggu's bed, staring at him intently.
Seeing him waking up, he said worriedly and nervously: "Qinggu, how do you feel? Is there any discomfort? Do you still remember me? What time is it?"
He raised three fingers and asked Ran Qinggu.
The doctor said that Ran Qinggu may suffer from amnesia.
Ran Qinggu glanced lightly into the room: "Where are we?"
Shang Ronghe let out a sigh of relief: "Heaven, you owed me ten pennies in your previous life, so you will pay it back with tears all your life, do you remember?"
Ran Qinggu was actually amused, and when he laughed, it involved the wound on his upper chest.
Shang Rongyu didn't dare to tease him anymore: "Lie down and don't move, just call me if you need something." Ran Qinggu frowned: "What's outside, it's very noisy."
Shang Rongyu hurriedly ordered: "Shi Zifei is awake, all leave, don't disturb him."
Jia went out to take the order, and let all those miscellaneous monsters, ghosts, and snakes withdraw.
When those people heard that they could leave, they all wept with joy. Fortunately, the concubine Shizi woke up, otherwise they would have been driven crazy by the prince. Sure enough, the heavens have the virtue of being good at life...
When the prince, concubine and others heard that Ran Qinggu had woken up, they all came to visit him.
The prince and Shang Rongque didn't know why, they looked haggard and exhausted, their eyes were red and bloodshot, and even the area around their eyes was blue-black.
Ran Qinggu saw the prince and concubine struggling to sit up, Shang Rongyu had to give him two cushions.
He said sincerely: "It was really helpless to deceive the prince and concubine back then. Now the prince and concubine may know my identity, and I don't need to hide it anymore. I am really sorry. If I want to kill or cut, the prince and concubine only need to feel my identity. Comfortable, Ran Qinggu is at his disposal."
The princess stepped forward and held Ran Qinggu's hand: "You must have suffered a lot."
Ran Qinggu retracted his hands in a panic.
He was afraid that the concubine would ask him to leave Shang Rongyu, after all, he could not refuse such a mother, nor was he qualified to refuse.
Jian Zuihuan's tears fell, and she said with distress: "during the time you were in a coma, Rong Yu told me about you and a lot about you. I can't change what my son believes. He said that he only wanted to be with you, and I could only rely on him. Qinggu, although I abide by the old rules, I am not an ungrateful person. I can see it all. Without you, the crown prince would embarrass me in Zhongming Temple. I couldn’t wait for the prince to rescue me that day in the imperial mausoleum. If you get along with each other and get used to it, I will be fine... just give me some time."
Ran Qinggu's heart was astringent, a warm current washed over him, he nodded: "Okay."
King Cheng smiled and praised: "In the past, the king sighed more than once. If only you were a man, it would be great. With your intelligence and talent, you must have made a lot of achievements. Now it can be regarded as a dream come true."
Ran Qinggu said politely: "My lord praises you absurdly."
Shang Rong and Leng sneered: "Act, act again, you already knew about it, right? What big brother knows, can you not know?"
King Cheng was ashamed: "I also realized something was wrong when Bai Yu pretended to be my cousin and came to the capital, so I asked Rong Que to ask."
Shang Rongque laughed: "I was tricked out by my father, I wanted to keep this secret."
Jian Zuihuan wiped away her tears: "You all know it, but you kept it from me."
"Qingu." Shang Rongque's face suddenly became solemn, and he knelt down towards Ran Qinggu.
Ran Qinggu was taken aback: "Brother, what are you?"
Shang Rongque: "I'm sorry for the Qing family, I'm sorry for the Marquis of Dingbei, the former crown prince, that is, my father's old ministry, came to the capital to look for me quietly, but I didn't want to go to the border town with my father at that time, and he met Dingbei. Beihou..."
Ran Qinggu remembered that night.
At the beginning of that night, his father was talking with someone in the study, but after the man left, his father sat quietly in the study all night.
Early the next morning, his father entered the palace.
A few days later, his whole family was jailed for treason.
"He told the real cause of the death of the first prince of Dingbei Hou, and insulted Dingbei Hou for being a lackey of a foolish emperor for the sake of wealth... Later, when I returned to the capital with my father, Rong Yu, the Qing family had already been exterminated. People came to me crying bitterly, saying that he killed Dingbeihou and the Qing family. Death... this matter is my debt to the Qing family, and it is also the former prince's debt to Marquis Dingbei."
These are the inadequacies of birth.
Shang Rongque himself could not escape, nor could he escape.
If the prince hadn't led the wolf into the house at the beginning, would his own ending and the ending of Dingbeihou have changed because of this?
Ran Qinggu pursed his lips tightly.
How did that man question his father that night?
Did he point his nose and scold his father for being a wolf-hearted and ungrateful man, willing to become Shang Qianxian's vicious dog for the sake of prosperity...
Did he hysterically denounce Shang Qianxian's evil deeds, and let his father know that his brother who has been close to him all these years, and the guardian monarch is actually a heartless and unfilial person...
His father sat all night facing the solitude of the candlelight.
What was he thinking?
The brother he had been protecting killed another brother.
I was deceived by a friend who cherished my whole life, and became his sharp knife, where to hit where?
He thought about it all night, until it was not bright the next day, so he went into the palace to question him himself.
Perhaps when questioning, he never thought that his best brother would kill him because of this.
"Brother, get up." Ran Qinggu moved his dry lips, and said after a while, "I can't help but forgive you."
owe.
These two words are like a sharp sword, stirring up the softest part of my heart day and night, causing bloody flesh and sores to ooze pus.
Shang Rongque had to hide his identity for Ran Qinggu because of a debt, and had to find a way to make up for him.
Because of her debt, Ran Qinggu had no choice but to pamper Taozi, protect her, and support her...
But they had never committed any mistakes, but they seemed to be born with a kind of original sin.
Tens of thousands of thoughts flooded into Ran Qinggu's mind all of a sudden.
Taozi's father was his father's general, and he was implicated because of his father, causing Taozi to become an orphan and be trafficked!
And his whole family may have been wiped out because of the former prince and Shang Rongque.
He couldn't help but forgive Shang Rongque.
Not forgiving Shang Rongque is like not forgiving himself.
In essence, they are all the same type of people, and they all owe money.
Shang Rongque stood up and said sincerely, "Thank you."
After a long time, he said again: "Sorry."
Ran Qinggu nodded, and then, he looked weakly at King Cheng: "My lord, I have a merciless request."
King Cheng smiled: "Tell me. They are all from my own family, so there is nothing unkind."
Ran Qinggu's eyes sank: "The third prince once saved my life. He is not bad in nature, but he is a bit paranoid. I am willing to persuade him to surrender on behalf of the prince, but if he is not willing to submit, maybe he will be with the prince. Fighting against each other, no matter what, please let him live and let him have no worries for the rest of his life."
King Cheng dared to lead the Iron Armored Army into the capital and brought them all out, which meant that King Cheng had turned against him.
If Shang Rongque's identity is revealed in the world, then it is self-evident who the hearts of the people belong to.At that time, if the third prince wants to seek the throne, he may be trying to get water from a bamboo basket.
No matter what happens in the future, he hopes that Shang Yuzhou will be safe for the rest of his life.
After all, he owed him so much.
King Cheng nodded: "Okay, I also don't want to see the royal blood flow into rivers."
Shang Rongque thought again and again, and smiled: "Yes, Qinggu, it would be better if you are willing to come forward, and we will save a lot of trouble. You just woke up, don't think so much, taking good care of your body is the key. I made a plan to kill back to the capital, and since you grew up with Dingbeihou and eldest son Qinglang, you must have read a lot of military books, let Rong Yu tell you about it."
In the army, only the generals know the important secrets. Shang Rongque can say that because he did not treat Ran Qinggu as an outsider, and it is also to remove the grudge in Ran Qinggu's heart.
Ran Qinggu is not a person who doesn't know what is good or bad, so he said weakly: "The prince has experienced many battles, and the decisions he made are sure to be foolproof.
King Cheng frowned: "Just what? Yu...Qing Gu, if you have something to say, you are all one family, there is nothing you can't say."
Shang Rong and smiled: "Qinggu, father and king have already said so, so you can just say it."
Ran Qinggu hesitated to speak: "Although the Iron Armored Army is invincible, its shortcomings are also obvious. It consumes a lot of energy and is not as flexible as an ordinary army. But now this fierce battle may last for a while, and I'm afraid it will be won by then. It’s also a huge loss.”
King Cheng frowned: "As you said, we also know that this king has fought countless battles over the years. Although they all won in the end, each game wasted a lot. After a game, the man and the horse are the least After three months of recovery, we have also improved the Iron Armored Army by replacing the heavy armor with light armor. Although the light armor is more flexible than the heavy armor, it has more casualties. Rong and I suggest that the king train two armored armies, some of which are heavy armored. A part of the light armor can cooperate with the battle, and the casualties will be small, and the wear and tear will be small, but you also know that it is impossible for the iron armor to be weightless, after all, it is not as flexible as the general army."
The iron armored army, whether it is a man or a horse, is wearing armor. Although it is strong, it is not flexible enough and consumes a lot of energy.
This is the strengths and weaknesses of Iron Armor itself. Since the strengths can be used, the losses caused by the weaknesses must also be borne.
Ran Qinggu said lightly: "My lord, the Iron Armored Army has galloped on the battlefield for so many years, and the record it has achieved is unrivaled. This is enough to show that the Iron Armored Army is suitable for the battlefield. Qinggu dared to think that it is not the Iron Armored Army that needs to be improved, but a new one. An army that can cooperate with the armored army."
As soon as this remark came out, everyone became interested.
Shang Rongyu said with a smile: "It seems that people are not lying stupid these days? The doctor said that you are likely to suffer from amnesia, and I am afraid that you will wake up and suddenly be so stupid that I don't even remember."
Ran Qinggu gave him a cold look, and said: "Have you heard of flying falcons, my lord?"
King Cheng nodded: "There is a large and ferocious bird on the grassland, which only eats carrion corpses, so it is possible..."
Ran Qinggu nodded: "I have seen the records of the Falcon Army in my father's military book, and he also ordered to train such an army. The structure of the Falcon is no different from that of a kite, but the structure is more delicate. A man rides a flying falcon in the sky, shoots a bow and crossbow from top to bottom, hits a hundred shots, and there are others..."
Shang Rongque said in amazement: "Standing above the sky, the army below has nothing to do. As long as the height is high enough, the bows and crossbows below can't shoot at all. Coupled with heavy armor and light armor, attacking up and down, not only can reduce casualties, It can also reduce the combat time, wonderful!"
King Cheng wondered: "Is this feasible? We don't have skilled craftsmen who make flying falcons."
When the Falcon Army heard about Extraordinary, if such an army really came out, it would have already become famous all over the world, why hasn't he even heard of it?
Shang Rongyu: "Father, you trained the Iron Armored Army back then, and you didn't have mech masters, didn't you also test it out step by step."
King Cheng shook his head and said: "This time is different from the past. Now we have turned the other way. If we want to make a quick decision and return to the capital, if we delay for one more day, the situation will be unfavorable."
If they do not rebel now, they have to rebel, and as they rebel, Wang Kou, who is self-respecting, will follow suit.
At that time, as soon as there are more self-proclaimed kings, there will be more obstacles for them to clear in the future.
Ran Qinggu: "Your Majesty, don't worry. When my father made the Falcon Army, he took me to see it. He also made me a little Falcon for me to play with. But later, before this army came out, my family was They were confiscated for the crime of treason, and the batch of flying falcons were thrown into the kiln as wood. However, I remember every detail of the blueprint, and I will silence the blueprint to the prince in two days, and the prince will see if it is feasible. "
King Cheng exclaimed: "Do you really remember?"
Ran Qinggu nodded.
King Cheng said in high spirits: "Okay, this will be the contribution of Zebei for thousands of years, and your contribution will definitely be included in the history books of Dasu."
He was as happy as a swordsman meeting a peerless sword.
Having experienced many battles, he knew that if what Ran Qinggu said was true, it must be another myth on the battlefield.
And this myth was created by him alone.
Ran Qinggu said with a smile: "Qinggu doesn't care if there are a few strokes in the history books, this drawing is to repay the prince's life-saving grace, not to mention that this army is my father's last wish before his death, my father must also want it to reappear in the World."
Shang Rongque frowned: "Qinggu, can you tell the third prince about this?"
Shang Rong and unhappy said: "Brother, I understand what kind of person Qing Gu is. Although he is uncompromising, he is not without bottom line."
The third prince was involved with Beiyi. If Shang Yuzhou knew, then Beiyi must have obtained the blueprint. If in the future, Beiyi created such an army to deal with Dasu, the consequences would be disastrous.
Ran Qinggu's father has guarded the country for so many years, even though Ran Qinggu has become a rebel, he will never do anything unfavorable.
Ran Qinggu said lightly: "I never told the third prince, it's not because I love the land under my feet, but because I didn't have the right time. Because the third prince has no military power, and the military power is not in his own hands. The army he created is not for others. Wedding dress?"
Shang Rongque's worries dissipated: "That's good, then you have a good rest, don't be too tired, you just woke up, and you are drawing, offering advice, and going to be a lobbyist, making it seem like we are doing it on purpose. It's like making things difficult for you, don't scare you away when the time comes, Rong Yu will start to toss again, I'll go back to sleep too, I'm too sleepy."
Ran Qinggu could tell that Shang Rongque Chengwang and others were very tired.
But he wondered why they were so tired?
It's only noon, so sleepy like this?
It seems that fighting is really tiring.
King Cheng hated again and again, pulled Princess Cheng up and said, "I'll go back and catch up on sleep too. When you wake up, the world will be clean, and Rong Yu can finally be tossed about by someone else."
Shang Rongque said wearily: "Father, is there going to be a meat banquet tonight? After eating grass like a horse for so long, people will lose weight. If I eat vegetable leaves, I will throw up."
Shang Rongyu tossed like crazy during Ran Qinggu's coma for three or four days.
For a while, he felt that he had killed too much and caused Ran Qinggu to suffer, and for a while, he felt that he and his father had fought in the north and south in recent years. There were too many casualties, blood flowed like rivers, and the retribution was on Ran Qinggu.
Shang Rongque and Cheng Wang Nian he was almost widowed in his early years, and they could understand him, so they accompanied him.
But this kid kept tossing and tossing endlessly, and he was so eloquent, turning black and white upside down, which made him and King Cheng deep in thought, whether he had killed too much these years, causing harm to relatives and friends...
Shang Rongyu not only tossed himself so that he was neither human nor ghost, but also tossed him and King Cheng so hard that he didn't even dare to eat the meat.
They were afraid that eating one more bite of meat would endanger Ran Qinggu's blessings. If Ran Qinggu didn't wake up in this lifetime, wouldn't they be tortured by this kid for the rest of their lives?
Shang Rong and Yizheng said: "I still think that you two killed too much and got Qinggu involved. Otherwise, why did Qinggu wake up after two days of vegetarianism and recitation of Buddha's name? What explanation do you want to give?"
Shang Rongque is very happy to be able to eat meat now, and doesn't struggle, "Yes, you are right."
King Cheng looked at Ran Qinggu gratefully and sympathetically: "You can take care of yourself, this king will go back to catch up on sleep, drunk and happy, let's go."
Shang Zhi scolded: "Uncle Huang, do you want to rebel?"
King Cheng tightened his horse, and the horse roared upwards, and landed with a slap of front hooves, which shocked people's hearts: "Stop giving this king this set of tricks. This king is fighting bandits on the front line, and he is close to death, but you treat my wife in the capital." It’s not like this to deceive others.”
He raised his heavy knife and sternly shouted: "If the sky is fair to me, why should I start killing people? If people don't offend me, I won't offend others. I will guard the rivers and mountains and protect the territory. I don't want you to eat my family and kill my family. I passed it on to the king. Order, protect the princess and the prince, kill!"
When he gave an order, the iron armored army showed their cherry guns, and there were no survivors wherever they went.
The number of Dragon Scale Army is dozens of times that of this Iron Armored Army, but it is still unable to stop the Iron Armored Army from attacking like a raging wave!
Protected by the guards, Shang Zhi retreated steadily. He grabbed one of the guards and shouted: "King Cheng has rebelled, go and ask General Wu Zhuguo to transfer troops."
King Cheng has been through the battlefield for a long time, and he trained this Iron Armored Army with his own hands. He once killed the Turks and destroyed the Northern Yi. Wherever he went, there were corpses everywhere. Therefore, King Cheng's Iron Armored Army was called the Killing Army.
This armored army is like entering no man's land in the swampy and mountainous areas with harsh climate, let alone Kyoto.
But every army, no matter how good or powerful, has weaknesses.
Although King Cheng's Iron Armored Army is victorious and frightening, its movement speed is slow and its flexibility is not enough.
The horses and soldiers of the Iron Armored Army are all wearing thick and hard armor. The armor is heavy and moves slowly, so this is the disadvantage of the Iron Armored Army. Self-defeating.
What's more, if King Cheng gets rid of the banditry, if he rushes back to the capital overnight, he will definitely not be able to bring back all the Iron Armored Army. Now, what is here is probably all he can bring back. This army is less than [-]% of all the troops in his hands. One, so as long as it is delayed long enough, then there is nothing to fear.
After many trips before, this armored army has been exhausted to the extreme. Now he only needs to wait until General Wu Zhuguo leads his troops to come and capture him alive.
Once King Cheng is captured, he can force King Cheng to hand over his military power, so the Iron Armored Army will not be classified as the king's division?
Shang Zhi was thinking about it, and the guards were ordered to retreat!
Outside the imperial mausoleum, there were countless casualties, and they were in a mess.
In an instant, more than half of the Dragonscale Army died under the Iron Armored Army, Shang Zhi had no intention of retreating, and said viciously: "King Cheng has rebelled, take him down and make him Marquis of Ten Thousand Households."
The Dragon Scale Army had no choice but to swarm up again and besiege Chengwang, but the Dragon Scale Army had too many people and was no match for the Iron Armored Army who slaughtered thousands of barbarians.
This Iron Armored Army is an elite army trained by King Cheng. Following him through life and death, millions of corpses have been trampled over, not to mention these dragon scale army who only know how to fight with wheels.
Shang Rong hugged Ran Qinggu and soon joined King Cheng.
King Cheng's eyes turned red, and he shouted: "Rongyu, take your concubine mother and Yu'er out of the city, your elder brother will pick you up, and my father will save your second and third brothers, and I will come to you later."
Shang Rongyu: "Yes, father, take care."
King Cheng waved his hand and beheaded the two Dragon Scale Army: "Usually you are so angry with me that I am half dead, but you don't necessarily want me to take care of myself."
Shang Rongyu said loudly, "It is more honorable to be pissed off by your son and die by a defeated army."
King Cheng escorted Shang Ronghe out of the siege: "I think it's more honorable to beat my son to death."
He called to his lieutenant general: "Escort the princess, princess, and concubine out of the city."
The two lieutenants cupped their hands and said, "Yes."
Shang Rongyu mounted an iron-clad horse, put Ran Qinggu in front of him, let Ran Qinggu lean against his chest, after a while, his chest was hot and humid, it was the blood from Ran Qinggu's body.
He tightened the rope of the horse, pulled the horse's back eagerly, and galloped towards the city gate.
He galloped to the city gate, which had already been closed. Three or four rows of wooden blocks with sharp cones were placed in front of the city gate, and archers surrounded the city wall.
The guard stood on the tower and said angrily: "King Cheng conspired to rebel, the following offends the superior, who is now Chengwang's mansion, shoot and kill, kill!"
Before he could say the word "kill", he saw the archers on the tower falling from the tower one by one, and landed on the wooden bar embedded with sharp cones.
"Cousin, we're here." Bai Yu shouted.
She swept a row of guards with a whip, and the guard couldn't react in time, and was about to strike, but he found that no matter what moves he used, the woman in front of him could beat the moves, and her kung fu was also varied, with punches, palms, palms, and so on. It was fighting, and after a while it was Sanda.
When he couldn't resist, the whip wrapped around his head like a snake's tail, strangling his neck severely.
Bai Yu took out the key from the guard's arms and threw it to Taozi, "Go and open the city gate."
Several guards were about to snatch the keys, but Tao Zi hooked them away with a whip. She strangled the tail of the whip on the tower, and jumped off the tower more than ten feet high with the whip...
Seeing that Ran Qinggu was covered in blood and his face was pale, she cried in fright: "Young master, what's wrong with you? Young master..."
Shang Rongyu said sharply: "Quickly open the city gate."
Only then did Taozi realize it, and quickly opened the city gate: "My son, you take my young master away, you must save him, I will end the heir to Yu'er."
She is naturally aggressive in her bones, and she is very happy to be beaten, but now her only relative in this world has been injured, and her life and death are unknown, which arouses the killing in her bones.
She waved her long whip to meet the pursuers.
Bai Yu solved the trouble on the tower and jumped down.
"Second prince...over the tower..." the guard of the Dragon Scale Army reported.
Shang Zhi said angrily, "What's wrong with the city tower?"
Guard: "Shang Rongyu has already left the city."
Shang Zhi kicked the guard down, and roared angrily: "You trash, don't send troops to chase after him."
The guard lamented: "If we can't catch up, our people won't even be able to get out of the city."
Shang Zhi glared at the guard fiercely: "Why can't we get out?"
The guard said reassuringly: "Two unidentified women appeared there. They not only set fire to the tower, but also locked the gate. Second Prince, put out the fire quickly, otherwise the tower will collapse and the consequences will be disastrous."
Shang Zhi said angrily: "Trash, trash, you can't even take down two women."
"Report—King Cheng has led his troops out of the imperial city, and the Iron Armored Army has retreated." Another guard came to report.
Shang Zhi was furious: "Didn't I ask you to drag him? Will the Iron Armored Army be exhausted?"
Guard: "King Cheng has been on the battlefield for a long time, and he really can't hold back."
Shang Zhi was furious: "It's just trash, trash."
The guards felt quite wronged one by one.
If King Cheng had been taken down so easily, he would have been taken down long ago.
What's more, King Cheng has been in the army for so many years, and he has fought at least dozens of battles. How could he not know his own shortcomings?Now that you know the disadvantages, how can you love to fight?He is a brave and resourceful prince, not a reckless brat.
"Report—" A guard came from the direction of the north tower.
After the previous two incidents, Shang Zhi already had a certain tolerance in his heart, and he said coldly, "What's the matter?"
Guard: "The third prince escaped from the capital and is now heading north."
Shang Zhi sternly said: "The third child is nothing to worry about. Now we are concentrating our forces to pursue King Cheng and Shang Rongyu. If they are allowed to join the Iron Armored Army, the consequences will be disastrous."
The generals cupped their hands and said, "Yes."
At this time, Shang Zhi's confidant came back. He rode a big horse and came over with a dazed expression: "Second prince, what happened here? This subordinate went to Beicheng for a while. How could the capital be so chaotic?"
Shang Zhi gave his confidant a cold look.
His confidant could see that Shang Zhi was in a fit of anger, and he quickly said with a flattering smile: "Second prince, this subordinate has lived up to this trip north, and found a shocking news."
Shang Zhi had no time to think about other things, and said angrily, "Say."
The confidant smiled flatteringly: "The imperial concubine is a man."
Shang Zhi's face was livid, as if he wanted to eat people.
When Ran Qinggu had a miscarriage before, he sent someone to Beicheng to investigate Ran Qinggu, but he didn't expect Ran Qinggu to admit it first.
The confidant smiled: "In order to prevent His Highness from believing, I brought an old man from Beicheng who had met him..."
Shang Zhi said sharply, "Get lost."
The confidant chased after him: "Second prince, it's true, the imperial concubine is really a man..."
Shang Zhi got on his horse and said, "One more word, this hall will kill your whole family."
Today, everyone really wants to touch him.
==
Hall of Mental Cultivation.
Shang Qianxian sat in front of the desk, he was out of breath from coughing.
The eunuch worried and persuaded: "Your Majesty, the medicine is getting cold, you can drink some medicine first and then read the memorial."
"Your Majesty, the second prince begs..." Before the eunuch could finish his voice, Shang Zhi had already entered the hall and knelt down on one knee, "Your servant bows to my father."
Shang Qianxian ignored him.
Shang Zhi just knelt like that, the snow fell quietly outside the house, and the sound of rinsing was accompanied by Shang Qianxian's suppressed coughing!
After a while, the eunuch reminded in a low voice: "Your Majesty, the Second Highness is here."
Shang Qianxian raised his eyes and raised his eyebrows: "Get up."
Shang Zhi smiled gently, and picked up a bowl of soup on the table: "Father, you should take good care of your body, and don't be so tired."
His eyes fell on the open window, and the snow was fluttering outside the window.
He scolded: "Close the window quickly, my father is so seriously ill, which slave without eyes..."
Shang Qianxian snorted coldly: "I stepped aside."
Shang Zhi smiled knowingly: "Father likes to watch the snow, how about in a few days, son will accompany Father to the palace?"
Shang Qianxian said coldly: "No need."
Shang Zhi put the bowl of soup on the table with a bang.
The strong bitter smell of the medicine permeated everywhere, and the medicine stains splashed out and flowed all over the table.
Shang Zhi said coldly: "Father, the crown prince is dead, you don't intend to deal with your ministers all your life, do you?"
Shang Qianxian stood up holding the desk, his back hunched, his white hair was gray, and he looked directly at Shang Zhi, "I want you to tell me the truth, the prince's death has nothing to do with you?"
Shang Zhi was silent.
Shang Qianxian said sharply, "Say it!"
Shang Zhi laughed at himself with a "puchi": "Sure enough."
Then, his eyes full of love and expectation turned into provocation and mockery: "Yes, the prince's death has something to do with me. I knew he was going to rebel, but I didn't stop him. I even blinded you, Father. I opened your eyes." I turned a blind eye and let his reinforcements come to the capital. It was me who guarded the emperor every day during that time, making him think he had fallen out of favor and rebelled against him. It was me who quietly reported the news about the prince during that time. The booklet and information were withheld, so that the father did not get the news of the crown prince, so he did not know that the crown prince was planning to rebel."
Shang Qianxian sat back on the chair unacceptably: "It's really you, why?"
He said that with his control over the prince, he had no information about why the prince rebelled.
If he had noticed the trouble in advance, he would have prevented the prince from rebelling, so the prince would not have gone mad and died in that cruel way.
"Why? Because of you, Father." Shang Zhi gritted his teeth word by word, "It was you, Father, who killed that fat pig. Obviously I am better than him, and I am better than him in everything. I am willing to do everything for you, but your eyes are always on that fat pig, why have you ever looked at me? I have never regretted killing him."
Shang Qianxian asked in a trembling voice: "Do you know what happened to the princes who were replaced in the past dynasties?"
Shang Zhi frowned, not knowing why.
Shang Qianxian's voice was light and light: "How many of the deposed princes died well?"
The last thing Shang Jue said to him before he died was, why did he force him?Why force him to be the prince in the eyes of others?
But he can't help but force him, don't force him, hand over such a big country into his hands, can he stand it?
If he doesn't force him, then the courtiers will force him to depose the prince, and none of the deposed princes will die safely, and they will all become stepping stones for the new prince.
It's not that he doesn't know that Shang Zhi is more talented, it's not that he doesn't know that Shang Zhi has ambitions, but he has no choice.
Can he hand over Shang Jue's life to Shang Zhi?Obviously not.
Shang Zhi laughed at himself: "Sure enough, you still can't trust me. In your eyes, I am such a miserable person. I will definitely kill my brother for the throne? If you cared more about me, I would not compete with the crown prince for the position of heir. Because in your eyes, only your throne and the East Palace are the most important. Since you were young, you have given the prince everything good, and you have given him all your care. The only thing I have is What the crown prince doesn't have is that mink."
Shang Qianxian shook his head lightly: "It's not that I don't believe you, but what kind of person I am, I know very well, what I have experienced, how dare I take my son to gamble?"
He killed the elder brother who protected him and cared about him.
So he couldn't believe his son, but he didn't expect it to happen anyway.
Shang Zhi said sadly: "It doesn't matter, believe it or not, who else can you rely on besides me, Father? Father is seriously ill and weak, so pay more attention to your body and don't get tired. Come..."
A group of guards quickly came in: "Second Highness."
Shang Zhi: "The decree continues, the emperor is grateful for the death of the prince due to illness, and the rebellion of the king Cheng. His illness has worsened and he is no longer able to be called in charge of the court. Therefore, from now on, the emperor's second son, Shang Zhi, will temporarily take the position of the crown prince and supervise the administration of the country."
Guard: "Yes."
Shang Qianxian trembled with anger: "You... want to imprison me? You..."
Shang Zhi said coldly: "In order for the father to recuperate well, the ministers have ordered people to surround the Hall of Mental Cultivation. From now on, the father can recuperate in peace and don't have to worry about state affairs."
After he finished speaking, he drew out his sharp sword and split the inkstone on the table that the crown prince gave to Shang Qianxian into two halves, and the ink splashed all over the floor.
Withdrawing his sword, he walked coldly and heartlessly towards the outside of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and said as he walked: "The order will be passed down, King Cheng Shang Qianzhen conspired to rebel, abolish the title of King Cheng, and arrest King Cheng against the party with the whole world's masters. The third prince, Shang Yuzhou, has colluded with the enemy and treasoned the country, and he will be arrested together."
The guard cupped his hands: "Yes."
As soon as Shang Zhi walked to the door, Shang Qianxian spurted out a mouthful of blood in a panic, and the eunuch shouted anxiously: "Your Majesty, what's wrong with you? Your Majesty... Imperial Physician, send the Imperial Physician quickly..."
Shang Zhi quickly turned around, intending to help Shang Qianxian, but after walking a few steps, it was as if he was frozen, unable to move any more.
After the prince died, no matter how many times he approached his father, he was finally pushed away.
He didn't want to be pushed away again, so he chose not to approach.
He turned around and yelled at the palace servants: "Go and call the imperial doctor."
The palace man took the order: "Yes."
He turned his head to look at Shang Qianxian, who had white hair and blood on his lips, and Shang Qianxian also looked at him.
It was snowing heavily outside the window, and the father and son looked at each other without saying a word.

When Ran Qinggu woke up, he was in an exquisitely furnished room.
The owner of this room should love calligraphy and painting very much. There are four or five calligraphy and painting paintings by different people hanging on the wall, but those calligraphy and paintings are either ghosts, ghosts or gods, or Bodhisattvas.
There is a strong aroma in the room, which is mixed with sandalwood and wormwood.
Outside the room, there are monks muttering some scriptures, intermittently interspersed with the sound of Taoist priests opening the altar, and there seems to be the sound of the sorceress who is nervous and having an epileptic seizure.
Guard No. [-] asked the other guards with a constipated face: "Should I hire a doctor for the son, I always think he... has something wrong here."
He was young, so he was lucky enough to join the Iron Armored Army when he joined the army, but because of his young age, he didn't have a place to go to the front line, so he could only do odd jobs in the rear.
So he sent it to take care of the prince's son, concubine and other relatives of the palace.
But he didn't expect to see such a surprising scene on the first day he came.
Outside the door of the concubine's room, there are monks chanting sutras to overcome all hardships, and Taoist priests killing all monsters, ghosts and snakes, and then the nearby witches who specialize in cheating food and drinking are found, walking around the concubine's house like a convulsion. Stopping and walking, opening and closing his mouth, it seems to be chanting words... Even the half-blind man who set up a stall at the entrance of the next village was found...
But there is a premise that these people are not allowed to make a sound, like watching a shadow play without sound every day.
Guard No. [-] smiled: "Are you new here?"
Guard No. [-] nodded: "Yes, I just took up the post yesterday."
Guard No. [-] pointed to a few people next door who silently threw two copper coins as a reward after the Taoist priest finished the practice: "See, this is an old man. Let me tell you, if the concubine Shizi doesn't wake up for a day, the son will have to pay for it." Toss, he said that as long as it is a method, he will try it. Yesterday, the three Taoists went crazy, and the two monks recited the scriptures until their voices split. I almost committed suicide by throwing myself into a well after being tormented by the prince, but I was rescued in time, I heard that I hanged myself after returning home last night, I should be preparing for the first seven days today..."
Another guard had a straw in his mouth: "Our son, my fate has always been my choice, this is probably the first time he believes in fate, tsk tsk tsk, it's really rare..."
Shang Rongyu stood beside Ran Qinggu's bed, staring at him intently.
Seeing him waking up, he said worriedly and nervously: "Qinggu, how do you feel? Is there any discomfort? Do you still remember me? What time is it?"
He raised three fingers and asked Ran Qinggu.
The doctor said that Ran Qinggu may suffer from amnesia.
Ran Qinggu glanced lightly into the room: "Where are we?"
Shang Ronghe let out a sigh of relief: "Heaven, you owed me ten pennies in your previous life, so you will pay it back with tears all your life, do you remember?"
Ran Qinggu was actually amused, and when he laughed, it involved the wound on his upper chest.
Shang Rongyu didn't dare to tease him anymore: "Lie down and don't move, just call me if you need something." Ran Qinggu frowned: "What's outside, it's very noisy."
Shang Rongyu hurriedly ordered: "Shi Zifei is awake, all leave, don't disturb him."
Jia went out to take the order, and let all those miscellaneous monsters, ghosts, and snakes withdraw.
When those people heard that they could leave, they all wept with joy. Fortunately, the concubine Shizi woke up, otherwise they would have been driven crazy by the prince. Sure enough, the heavens have the virtue of being good at life...
When the prince, concubine and others heard that Ran Qinggu had woken up, they all came to visit him.
The prince and Shang Rongque didn't know why, they looked haggard and exhausted, their eyes were red and bloodshot, and even the area around their eyes was blue-black.
Ran Qinggu saw the prince and concubine struggling to sit up, Shang Rongyu had to give him two cushions.
He said sincerely: "It was really helpless to deceive the prince and concubine back then. Now the prince and concubine may know my identity, and I don't need to hide it anymore. I am really sorry. If I want to kill or cut, the prince and concubine only need to feel my identity. Comfortable, Ran Qinggu is at his disposal."
The princess stepped forward and held Ran Qinggu's hand: "You must have suffered a lot."
Ran Qinggu retracted his hands in a panic.
He was afraid that the concubine would ask him to leave Shang Rongyu, after all, he could not refuse such a mother, nor was he qualified to refuse.
Jian Zuihuan's tears fell, and she said with distress: "during the time you were in a coma, Rong Yu told me about you and a lot about you. I can't change what my son believes. He said that he only wanted to be with you, and I could only rely on him. Qinggu, although I abide by the old rules, I am not an ungrateful person. I can see it all. Without you, the crown prince would embarrass me in Zhongming Temple. I couldn’t wait for the prince to rescue me that day in the imperial mausoleum. If you get along with each other and get used to it, I will be fine... just give me some time."
Ran Qinggu's heart was astringent, a warm current washed over him, he nodded: "Okay."
King Cheng smiled and praised: "In the past, the king sighed more than once. If only you were a man, it would be great. With your intelligence and talent, you must have made a lot of achievements. Now it can be regarded as a dream come true."
Ran Qinggu said politely: "My lord praises you absurdly."
Shang Rong and Leng sneered: "Act, act again, you already knew about it, right? What big brother knows, can you not know?"
King Cheng was ashamed: "I also realized something was wrong when Bai Yu pretended to be my cousin and came to the capital, so I asked Rong Que to ask."
Shang Rongque laughed: "I was tricked out by my father, I wanted to keep this secret."
Jian Zuihuan wiped away her tears: "You all know it, but you kept it from me."
"Qingu." Shang Rongque's face suddenly became solemn, and he knelt down towards Ran Qinggu.
Ran Qinggu was taken aback: "Brother, what are you?"
Shang Rongque: "I'm sorry for the Qing family, I'm sorry for the Marquis of Dingbei, the former crown prince, that is, my father's old ministry, came to the capital to look for me quietly, but I didn't want to go to the border town with my father at that time, and he met Dingbei. Beihou..."
Ran Qinggu remembered that night.
At the beginning of that night, his father was talking with someone in the study, but after the man left, his father sat quietly in the study all night.
Early the next morning, his father entered the palace.
A few days later, his whole family was jailed for treason.
"He told the real cause of the death of the first prince of Dingbei Hou, and insulted Dingbei Hou for being a lackey of a foolish emperor for the sake of wealth... Later, when I returned to the capital with my father, Rong Yu, the Qing family had already been exterminated. People came to me crying bitterly, saying that he killed Dingbeihou and the Qing family. Death... this matter is my debt to the Qing family, and it is also the former prince's debt to Marquis Dingbei."
These are the inadequacies of birth.
Shang Rongque himself could not escape, nor could he escape.
If the prince hadn't led the wolf into the house at the beginning, would his own ending and the ending of Dingbeihou have changed because of this?
Ran Qinggu pursed his lips tightly.
How did that man question his father that night?
Did he point his nose and scold his father for being a wolf-hearted and ungrateful man, willing to become Shang Qianxian's vicious dog for the sake of prosperity...
Did he hysterically denounce Shang Qianxian's evil deeds, and let his father know that his brother who has been close to him all these years, and the guardian monarch is actually a heartless and unfilial person...
His father sat all night facing the solitude of the candlelight.
What was he thinking?
The brother he had been protecting killed another brother.
I was deceived by a friend who cherished my whole life, and became his sharp knife, where to hit where?
He thought about it all night, until it was not bright the next day, so he went into the palace to question him himself.
Perhaps when questioning, he never thought that his best brother would kill him because of this.
"Brother, get up." Ran Qinggu moved his dry lips, and said after a while, "I can't help but forgive you."
owe.
These two words are like a sharp sword, stirring up the softest part of my heart day and night, causing bloody flesh and sores to ooze pus.
Shang Rongque had to hide his identity for Ran Qinggu because of a debt, and had to find a way to make up for him.
Because of her debt, Ran Qinggu had no choice but to pamper Taozi, protect her, and support her...
But they had never committed any mistakes, but they seemed to be born with a kind of original sin.
Tens of thousands of thoughts flooded into Ran Qinggu's mind all of a sudden.
Taozi's father was his father's general, and he was implicated because of his father, causing Taozi to become an orphan and be trafficked!
And his whole family may have been wiped out because of the former prince and Shang Rongque.
He couldn't help but forgive Shang Rongque.
Not forgiving Shang Rongque is like not forgiving himself.
In essence, they are all the same type of people, and they all owe money.
Shang Rongque stood up and said sincerely, "Thank you."
After a long time, he said again: "Sorry."
Ran Qinggu nodded, and then, he looked weakly at King Cheng: "My lord, I have a merciless request."
King Cheng smiled: "Tell me. They are all from my own family, so there is nothing unkind."
Ran Qinggu's eyes sank: "The third prince once saved my life. He is not bad in nature, but he is a bit paranoid. I am willing to persuade him to surrender on behalf of the prince, but if he is not willing to submit, maybe he will be with the prince. Fighting against each other, no matter what, please let him live and let him have no worries for the rest of his life."
King Cheng dared to lead the Iron Armored Army into the capital and brought them all out, which meant that King Cheng had turned against him.
If Shang Rongque's identity is revealed in the world, then it is self-evident who the hearts of the people belong to.At that time, if the third prince wants to seek the throne, he may be trying to get water from a bamboo basket.
No matter what happens in the future, he hopes that Shang Yuzhou will be safe for the rest of his life.
After all, he owed him so much.
King Cheng nodded: "Okay, I also don't want to see the royal blood flow into rivers."
Shang Rongque thought again and again, and smiled: "Yes, Qinggu, it would be better if you are willing to come forward, and we will save a lot of trouble. You just woke up, don't think so much, taking good care of your body is the key. I made a plan to kill back to the capital, and since you grew up with Dingbeihou and eldest son Qinglang, you must have read a lot of military books, let Rong Yu tell you about it."
In the army, only the generals know the important secrets. Shang Rongque can say that because he did not treat Ran Qinggu as an outsider, and it is also to remove the grudge in Ran Qinggu's heart.
Ran Qinggu is not a person who doesn't know what is good or bad, so he said weakly: "The prince has experienced many battles, and the decisions he made are sure to be foolproof.
King Cheng frowned: "Just what? Yu...Qing Gu, if you have something to say, you are all one family, there is nothing you can't say."
Shang Rong and smiled: "Qinggu, father and king have already said so, so you can just say it."
Ran Qinggu hesitated to speak: "Although the Iron Armored Army is invincible, its shortcomings are also obvious. It consumes a lot of energy and is not as flexible as an ordinary army. But now this fierce battle may last for a while, and I'm afraid it will be won by then. It’s also a huge loss.”
King Cheng frowned: "As you said, we also know that this king has fought countless battles over the years. Although they all won in the end, each game wasted a lot. After a game, the man and the horse are the least After three months of recovery, we have also improved the Iron Armored Army by replacing the heavy armor with light armor. Although the light armor is more flexible than the heavy armor, it has more casualties. Rong and I suggest that the king train two armored armies, some of which are heavy armored. A part of the light armor can cooperate with the battle, and the casualties will be small, and the wear and tear will be small, but you also know that it is impossible for the iron armor to be weightless, after all, it is not as flexible as the general army."
The iron armored army, whether it is a man or a horse, is wearing armor. Although it is strong, it is not flexible enough and consumes a lot of energy.
This is the strengths and weaknesses of Iron Armor itself. Since the strengths can be used, the losses caused by the weaknesses must also be borne.
Ran Qinggu said lightly: "My lord, the Iron Armored Army has galloped on the battlefield for so many years, and the record it has achieved is unrivaled. This is enough to show that the Iron Armored Army is suitable for the battlefield. Qinggu dared to think that it is not the Iron Armored Army that needs to be improved, but a new one. An army that can cooperate with the armored army."
As soon as this remark came out, everyone became interested.
Shang Rongyu said with a smile: "It seems that people are not lying stupid these days? The doctor said that you are likely to suffer from amnesia, and I am afraid that you will wake up and suddenly be so stupid that I don't even remember."
Ran Qinggu gave him a cold look, and said: "Have you heard of flying falcons, my lord?"
King Cheng nodded: "There is a large and ferocious bird on the grassland, which only eats carrion corpses, so it is possible..."
Ran Qinggu nodded: "I have seen the records of the Falcon Army in my father's military book, and he also ordered to train such an army. The structure of the Falcon is no different from that of a kite, but the structure is more delicate. A man rides a flying falcon in the sky, shoots a bow and crossbow from top to bottom, hits a hundred shots, and there are others..."
Shang Rongque said in amazement: "Standing above the sky, the army below has nothing to do. As long as the height is high enough, the bows and crossbows below can't shoot at all. Coupled with heavy armor and light armor, attacking up and down, not only can reduce casualties, It can also reduce the combat time, wonderful!"
King Cheng wondered: "Is this feasible? We don't have skilled craftsmen who make flying falcons."
When the Falcon Army heard about Extraordinary, if such an army really came out, it would have already become famous all over the world, why hasn't he even heard of it?
Shang Rongyu: "Father, you trained the Iron Armored Army back then, and you didn't have mech masters, didn't you also test it out step by step."
King Cheng shook his head and said: "This time is different from the past. Now we have turned the other way. If we want to make a quick decision and return to the capital, if we delay for one more day, the situation will be unfavorable."
If they do not rebel now, they have to rebel, and as they rebel, Wang Kou, who is self-respecting, will follow suit.
At that time, as soon as there are more self-proclaimed kings, there will be more obstacles for them to clear in the future.
Ran Qinggu: "Your Majesty, don't worry. When my father made the Falcon Army, he took me to see it. He also made me a little Falcon for me to play with. But later, before this army came out, my family was They were confiscated for the crime of treason, and the batch of flying falcons were thrown into the kiln as wood. However, I remember every detail of the blueprint, and I will silence the blueprint to the prince in two days, and the prince will see if it is feasible. "
King Cheng exclaimed: "Do you really remember?"
Ran Qinggu nodded.
King Cheng said in high spirits: "Okay, this will be the contribution of Zebei for thousands of years, and your contribution will definitely be included in the history books of Dasu."
He was as happy as a swordsman meeting a peerless sword.
Having experienced many battles, he knew that if what Ran Qinggu said was true, it must be another myth on the battlefield.
And this myth was created by him alone.
Ran Qinggu said with a smile: "Qinggu doesn't care if there are a few strokes in the history books, this drawing is to repay the prince's life-saving grace, not to mention that this army is my father's last wish before his death, my father must also want it to reappear in the World."
Shang Rongque frowned: "Qinggu, can you tell the third prince about this?"
Shang Rong and unhappy said: "Brother, I understand what kind of person Qing Gu is. Although he is uncompromising, he is not without bottom line."
The third prince was involved with Beiyi. If Shang Yuzhou knew, then Beiyi must have obtained the blueprint. If in the future, Beiyi created such an army to deal with Dasu, the consequences would be disastrous.
Ran Qinggu's father has guarded the country for so many years, even though Ran Qinggu has become a rebel, he will never do anything unfavorable.
Ran Qinggu said lightly: "I never told the third prince, it's not because I love the land under my feet, but because I didn't have the right time. Because the third prince has no military power, and the military power is not in his own hands. The army he created is not for others. Wedding dress?"
Shang Rongque's worries dissipated: "That's good, then you have a good rest, don't be too tired, you just woke up, and you are drawing, offering advice, and going to be a lobbyist, making it seem like we are doing it on purpose. It's like making things difficult for you, don't scare you away when the time comes, Rong Yu will start to toss again, I'll go back to sleep too, I'm too sleepy."
Ran Qinggu could tell that Shang Rongque Chengwang and others were very tired.
But he wondered why they were so tired?
It's only noon, so sleepy like this?
It seems that fighting is really tiring.
King Cheng hated again and again, pulled Princess Cheng up and said, "I'll go back and catch up on sleep too. When you wake up, the world will be clean, and Rong Yu can finally be tossed about by someone else."
Shang Rongque said wearily: "Father, is there going to be a meat banquet tonight? After eating grass like a horse for so long, people will lose weight. If I eat vegetable leaves, I will throw up."
Shang Rongyu tossed like crazy during Ran Qinggu's coma for three or four days.
For a while, he felt that he had killed too much and caused Ran Qinggu to suffer, and for a while, he felt that he and his father had fought in the north and south in recent years. There were too many casualties, blood flowed like rivers, and the retribution was on Ran Qinggu.
Shang Rongque and Cheng Wang Nian he was almost widowed in his early years, and they could understand him, so they accompanied him.
But this kid kept tossing and tossing endlessly, and he was so eloquent, turning black and white upside down, which made him and King Cheng deep in thought, whether he had killed too much these years, causing harm to relatives and friends...
Shang Rongyu not only tossed himself so that he was neither human nor ghost, but also tossed him and King Cheng so hard that he didn't even dare to eat the meat.
They were afraid that eating one more bite of meat would endanger Ran Qinggu's blessings. If Ran Qinggu didn't wake up in this lifetime, wouldn't they be tortured by this kid for the rest of their lives?
Shang Rong and Yizheng said: "I still think that you two killed too much and got Qinggu involved. Otherwise, why did Qinggu wake up after two days of vegetarianism and recitation of Buddha's name? What explanation do you want to give?"
Shang Rongque is very happy to be able to eat meat now, and doesn't struggle, "Yes, you are right."
King Cheng looked at Ran Qinggu gratefully and sympathetically: "You can take care of yourself, this king will go back to catch up on sleep, drunk and happy, let's go."
