Chang'an [Rebirth]

Ruan Linshuang's words could pierce her heart since she was a child, Zhao Qian was suddenly speechless, the cold wind passed through the hall, and the candles that had been lit all night finally went out.

"You came to me just to say these things?" Zhao Qian spoke for a longer time this time, he was like an old man in the twilight, his strong spirit finally bottomed out and he showed fatigue.

"Not only that," Ruan Linshuang said again, "I also want to tell you that I have been plotting against you since I was four years old. Unfortunately, Priest Mu Sang keeps reminding you that Chai Zheng and I will be your biggest obstacles, but you are too guarded I always feel that what she said is just hiding a deeper secret, rather than getting rid of me and Chai Zheng, it is better to make good use of it."

She sighed softly, "Back in the ruined temple, you went to Wu Hengluo to tell your fortune, and you figured out that you would end up with a deep kindness and a bad death. What do people look like?"

Zhao Qian's gloomy gaze fell on Ruan Linshuang's face, "Little girl, don't be too complacent."

Ruan Linshuang bowed his body, and bowed respectfully to Zhao Qian, "Don't worry, my lord, I'm not you. As long as I see your reputation ruined, the next step is to help the eldest princess to rectify the imperial court... It's a mess like this. I'm afraid there are quite a few people who scold you."

After performing this ceremony, Ruan Linshuang left the imperial study room without looking back. Zhao Qian, who was left behind the table, shouted hoarsely, "Come back! You come back to me! Rebellious officials and thieves are all rebellious officials and thieves!"

The night's rain finally stopped, the dark clouds dispersed, and the sun spread evenly into the corners. Ruan Linshuang stood outside the palace gate and raised his head—the horn sounded from a distant place, resounding throughout Chang'an City.

In Zhao Linlang's hands is the Jade Seal of Chuanguo, and most of the Chinese soldiers in this dynasty are the old friends of the Duke and Ruan Yuzhang. The entire city of Chang'an will be captured.

Ruan Linshuang knew why Zhao Qian still had the confidence. A crazy Mei Xueyun hadn't been found so far, and Zheng Qinghe also disappeared.

According to Chai Zheng, the reason why Zhao Qian was so accommodating to Zheng Qinghe was because he was able to kill himself at the mouth of Priest Mu Sang... Thinking about it this way, it should have been his sneak attack back then that forced him to fall into the abyss.

In her previous life, Ruan Linshuang's lightness kung fu was based on the strengths of others, and she learned it slowly from her friends in the Jianghu during her escape in her twenties. Although it is not as good as it is now, but she is not close to her, so don't let her slip up.

Everyone said that Mei Xueyun was a lunatic, and Zheng Qinghe didn't give in too much. Zhao Qian was reduced to such a point that he could only be with lunatics, how could he be better himself.

Overnight, Chai Yuandao dispatched troops and generals, and the large forces retreated to the gate of Chang'an to prevent other reinforcements. He himself sat in Zecheng, and the civil servants and generals were divided into two groups. Anyone who continued to support Zhao Qian was quickly captured. He was put in prison, but not dealt with for the time being, and Zhao Linlang was asked to lead thousands of troops into the palace directly.

The resistance in the palace was weak, and Zhao Qian only had an imperial army left in his hands and the wine priest could call it. However, after the death of Sun Qifu and his party, the wine priest was also severely injured and lost his glory.

These remnants of defeated generals wanted to protect Zhao Qian and withdraw from Chang'an City, hiding in Tibet for three full days before they were all wiped out.

Zhao Qian was caught in the backyard of the family, where the commoner-clothed bamboo hats and doves occupied the magpie's nest, a family of five ranging from eighty-year-old grandparents down to three-year-old children in the morgue where the temperature is high in summer. The corpse soon gave off a rancid smell and was noticed by the neighbors, otherwise Zhao Qian could hide for another two days.

The once prominent human emperor was reduced to a prisoner, Mei Xueyun and Zheng Qinghe were still missing, Ruan Linshuang only had eleven antidote left, Zhao Linlang tried every means, and the imperial doctors took turns to rectify them to no avail. With her wrist retracted, she became paler and paler, and the snow accumulated on the mountain seemed to be melting.

"Mother, my days are numbered." Ruan Linshuang seemed very calm, narrating a foregone conclusion in a flat tone, "I want to use the remaining time to visit Chai Zheng again."

The court situation is not stable, and there are still remnants of the party fleeing outside. Ruan Linshuang, as one of the culprits, is not suitable to leave Chang'an City. Many pairs of eyes are staring at her, but she has to take risks.

"Okay, if you want to go, I'll make arrangements for you along the way." Zhao Linlang took Xiao Ruan's hand, "If you take the water route, the journey will be smooth, and it will only take a few days to go south. Although there is not much you can do now, mother, you want to see Chai Zheng, I'll let you see me with all my strength."

"Thank you, mother," Ruan Linshuang said again, "Chang'an City has been closed for a few days, and there has been no news from Chai Zheng. Maybe the war is stalemate. I also want to bring some reinforcements to her this trip. Is there anyone near the Jiangnan Navy?" Can the army be transferred directly? I will ask Zhang Fan to make a trip."

"You are already like this..." Zhao Linlang sighed, finally fulfilling Ruan Linshuang's wish.

She knew very well that even if some people die, they die with exhaustion. Ruan Linshuang is like a bird without feet, she will flap her wings and devote herself to painstaking efforts. Only Chai Zheng can save her life.

Ruan Linshuang guessed right, the war in the South China Sea was indeed stalemate. Four days ago, Mu Sang's medium-sized warship rushed into the South China Sea Navy. On the frontal battlefield, Chai Zheng led a team of small boats back to the enemy's rear.

King Keqin was not an idiot, he dared to attack from the front so unscrupulously because Luo He was there to take care of him, the front was dark and the rear was as stable as Mount Tai.

The ships of Chai Zheng were all painted black, lights were turned off, they looked like ghosts in the dark night, and the gloomy sea was quiet. Her team did not focus on attacking, and bypassed all the gaps that might cause conflicts, and slowly and secretly moved towards Mu Sang. The main ship moves closer.

In this pitch-black atmosphere, Yaoyao was wearing a crescent-white dress, with peacock tail feathers padded on the corners and sleeves, and the dark green buckle on the front of the lapel mixed with gold thread, it looked not only luxurious but also elegant under the light. There is a sense of flow.

This set of clothes is the official robe of the high priest of Musang, and it is so grand only on important occasions.

As the ship approached the main ship Musang, Yaoyao's eyes turned blood-like red from the edge. When Chai Zheng was able to look up at the giant ship parked on the river from a close distance, Yaoyao's eyes had completely turned into Wu Heng's. Signs, how many emotions in it are diffused and no one can see clearly.

The cannon fire collided violently not far away, and the main ship Mu Sang was like a god under the fire, while Chai Zheng and the others were nothing more than ants, and they were insignificant above the waves.

Luo He sensed something was wrong, he commanded the boat to scatter in all directions, forming a fishing net, no matter what kind of fish was caught in the net, he would never get out today.

The previous ship was used to lure the enemy, but it was soon discovered, and the peaceful rear was interrupted by the sound of gunfire. Chai Zheng had ordered in advance that even if it was to lure the enemy, he should act first. hand.

Immediately followed by the second and third ships...Using cover, the ships that had already reached the main ship flew towards the Qing people.

The main ship Mu Sang was configured by the emperor himself, and it has not been used a few times in so many years. Except for some improvements, the appearance has not changed much. Xianyi liked the sea when he was a child. Run around, know all the structures like the palm of your hand,

Chai Zheng and the others sneaked into the main ship from the rescue cabin, which can be closed inside and outside. There are 38 small boats inside, half the size of a light ship. There are people outside, but the rescue cabin is very empty.

It has not been used here for a long time, except for occasional cleaning and no ventilation, it is filled with a musty smell that has not seen the sun.

The number of people who successfully entered the rescue cabin of the main ship was less than expected. Dozens of ships set off, and Chai Zheng nodded at this time. There were only 100 people, except for Chai Zheng's own ship, which had a light ship that was not found.

The main purpose of these light ships is to cover. Chai Zheng and the others are smaller than light ships, which are comparable to these lifeboats. They can be destroyed by a single artillery fire, but they are also light and fast. Open, they have already entered in a hurry.

Chai Zheng looked at the staffing again, Kuanyuan and his dozen brothers were there, the group of the third child was not there, Yaoyao, Xianyi, Pei Niannian and Gu Hensheng were all on the same boat as him. The rest were elites picked out by Xue Yu, wearing night clothes and covering their heads and faces.

When they set off, Xue Yu had said that they would be killed or injured on this mission, if they didn't want to, they could stay, and there was room for them on the river bank to count as deserters, but these people had no hesitation.

According to Xianyi, the main ship of Mu Sang can accommodate thousands of people, but King Keqin is a copy of Zhao Qian, and he is a rebel against the superior, so he is very suspicious. Only one in a hundred can board the main ship, and there are no thousand people, at most seven or eight Hundred.

The 800 people include those who cook and clean, and the rest are probably elites. It is unlikely that one person can be the top ten, and it is considered a skill to be able to one-on-one without falling behind.

If you come by force, you will definitely lose this trip.

Chai Zheng looked back at Yaoyao, the little girl had a serious look about to act, her eyes, which were always calm, looked like that now, Chai Zheng lowered her voice and asked little Wu Heng, "The ban is invalid. gone?"

Yaoyao nodded, "It's too close to the caster...King Keqin can also feel my distance."

The prohibition against it is invalidated, and King Keqin can use Yaoyao's eyes to predict the future like many years ago, but the environment he is in now is not comfortable. After all, King Keqin is the commander of the three armies, Luo He just gave him a shot Well, it can't be said that when the two armies are fighting in full swing, the coach suddenly puts down his pick and wants to count his fate——

At least not anytime soon.

"Kuanyuan, take fifty people out of the rescue cabin first, kill people and set fires everywhere, don't love to fight once you fight, run away if you can't fight, jump into the sea if you can't run." Start assigning tasks.

"Xianyi, take Pei Niannian to find Luo He. According to you, Luo He was also a loyal and brave person back then. It would be best to persuade him to turn around. If he is obsessed with his obsession, you don't have to be polite..." Chai Zheng paused, "But you have to find a good time. If Luo He bites back and you are trapped, I may not be able to allocate people here to rescue you."

"Understood." Xian Yi was very clear about the current situation.

The South China Sea Navy has turned into a paper tiger after years of wear and tear, but Mu Sang is bound to win. In the situation of fighting the strong with the weak, every decision is a risk. In order to save Xue Yu's life, Chai Zheng almost took all the pressure off.

They are on the main ship, if they can win, they will turn defeat into victory in an all-round way, otherwise the entire land of two rivers will quickly fall.

Chai Zheng coughed lightly twice, the air in the cabin was too cold, and her current health was not good, her throat was burning like a pain, most of the people's whereabouts had been arranged, but Chai Zheng was most worried The most important thing is the few guns on the main ship.

The caliber of these guns is huge, although it is not as good as Dai Chaochou's handwriting, but considering all the ships in Dajing, even Xue Yu's main ship may not be able to hold back once or twice.

Chai Zheng thought for a while, and divided the remaining [-] or so people into two halves. When Kuanyuan and the others made noise, one half lurked around the cannon barrel, and disabled the largest cannons with sea water or other means.

It's just that the security on the deck is tight, and the surroundings of these gun barrels are heavily guarded. It may not be that simple to complete the task.

The other half was divided again, and the remaining six or seven people stayed in the rescue cabin, guarding the escape route, and also destroyed all the boats piled here, and the remaining six or seven people will follow Chai Zheng and Yaoyao to see King Keqin.

"Everyone, let's just leave here. If we are lucky, we will see you on the shore. Otherwise, in the coming Qingming Festival, the living will owe the dead a glass of wine," Chai Zheng said, "Treasure it."

"Little Grandpa, take care!" Kuan Yuan and his group were the first to go out, and then they heard the sound of horns outside, and someone shouted at the top of their voices, "A Dajing spy broke in."

Immediately afterwards, there were fewer and fewer people in the rescue cabin, and when Xianyi took Pei Niannian to leave, it was time for Chai Zheng to leave.

She no longer coughed, the bowl of medicine given by Doctor Zhang was really effective, Chai Zheng didn't even hurt from the chest wound, and she was more energetic than before. She held the sword in one hand and pulled Yaoyao in the other, "Are you afraid?"

"Don't be afraid," Yaoyao said with firm eyes, "Since I was young, as long as I am by your side, I am safe. I believe in you, and I also believe in Sister Ruan. If you say you want to protect me, I will live well.

Chai Zheng smiled, "The little girl has finally learned to trust people."

Lurking in the dark and not being able to light the lights, Xianyi had already cut the entire ship apart when he was on the shore. Although the people who followed the mission could not even remember the details, the key places such as the main control room and the deck were firmly engraved on the In my mind, even after being dispersed, it will be in place soon.

According to Xian Yi, whenever King Keqin commands, he will stand closest to the battlefield, with the burning sea of ​​fire in front of him. The best viewing position for King Keqin should be at the front of the deck.

After Kuanyuan made such a fuss, the main ship started to patrol and search for the Dajing people who came in, and soon they will find the ship parked near the escape cabin. Judging from the size of the ship, the main ship has infiltrated How many people, Chai Zheng, what they have is the interim time.

This road is almost unstoppable, but if there is a risk of Chai Zheng and Yaoyao being discovered, Kuan Yuan's group will suddenly appear to attract attention. Whose body was not seen.

The escape cabin is not far from the deck, it was originally a emergency place, but if it is far away, it will delay the chance of escape. Chai Zheng has already pulled Yaoyao up the steps to the deck with a cup of tea.

The shouting and killing around gradually weakened, and only two of the six or seven people who followed Chai Zheng were left. Chai Zheng squeezed Yaoyao's hand tightly and motioned her not to look behind her. The cabin and the deck are connected by steps. They stood guard on the steps early on, Chai Zheng held a sword in her hand and chanted a dragon, and the thunder was like a frightened bird. In an instant, the people closest to her suffered, and the blood spilled down and landed on the ground. On Chai Zheng's face, she stretched out her hand to shield Yaoyao, only a few spots of plum blossoms were splashed on Wu Hengyue's white gown.

Wu Heng's eyes are soul-stirring, only the blood-red pupils can be seen in the storm, she has already seen King Keqin...

King Keqin and Xianyi look a bit alike, but their faces are more vicissitudes, with white temples, and most of Xianyi are gentlemen and chivalrous spirits soaked up in Kuichou County, but King Keqin has the face of a decisive emperor , and suddenly looked at Yaoyao, he didn't change color at all.

Yaoyao took a step forward and Chai Zheng cleared her one step. Soon, someone saw that this was the little Wu Heng himself who had been missing for many years. Before King Keqin gave the order, the offensive had already slowed down. Most people surrounded him in a circle, but He didn't use his weapons for a long time.

King Keqin is not stupid, he clearly knows the importance of the high priest in the hearts of Musang people, otherwise he would not have worked so hard to turn his face against Dajing, and would have arrested Wu Hengluo and escorted him back to Musang. He would not look forward to Yaoyao's birth and imprison her by his side for many years.

With Wu Heng in hand, his imperial power is complete.

"Yaoyao," King Keqin stepped down from the bow of the boat. There was someone holding an umbrella beside him, and the rain splashed obediently at his feet, but Yaoyao was soaked through.

What other people have, their own children want too. Chai Zheng knocked out the scabbard in his hand and hit the back of the guard's hand. His back hurt and he let go of his five fingers. Chai Zheng picked up the long knife on the ground and hit it on the umbrella handle. Two feet above the ground, the edge of the umbrella spread open, floating over Yaoyao's head, and the Chai Zheng then swept up from the ground, touching the handle of the umbrella.

King Keqin took a look at Chai Zheng, "The little girl is so handsome."

"It's easy to say." Chai Zheng landed beside Yaoyao.

The Musang people are good at forbidden techniques, but when it comes to martial arts, they are very ordinary. Those who killed Wu Hengluo and Xianyi in the inn were already one of the best masters, but they were still defeated by the young princess. King Keqin took stock in his heart. It was found that there was probably no one on the whole boat who was a match for Chai Zheng.

Chai Zheng is also aware of Musang's shortcomings, she said that this move was originally for King Keqin to weigh in, not to act rashly.

After King Keqin looked at Chai Zheng, he turned his attention to Yaoyao again.

Wu Heng is no longer the child who was not good at talking and laughing, always silent and cold. She looks decent in this peacock robe. It is also the embryo of a beauty.

"Wu Heng," King Keqin said, "As the High Priest of Musang, you actually colluded with the people of Dajing."

"King," although Yaoyao was several heads shorter than him, she did not lose in imposing manner, her eyes were detached and indifferent, "If you hadn't killed Wu Hengluo and imprisoned me, you would always want to possess the priest Courtyard, why should I leave my hometown."

King Keqin smiled, "Killing Wuhengluo, where do you start? He was punished for betraying Musang and God, and imprisoned you...Little Wuheng, you are still young, and you have red pupils that are hard to see in a thousand years." , God loves you, I am also afraid that you will be deceived and used by people when you are young and ignorant, so I just take good care of you."

He looked at Chai Zheng and said again, "Look, this Dajing man wants to use you to deal with me and Mu Sang when you are away from me."

King Keqin's move was ruthless and insidious. He was sure that all of Yaoyao's accusations were groundless, and even though Wu Heng possessed the supreme power to communicate with the gods, practicing forbidden techniques would get twice the result with half the effort, but he was weak in terms of skill , anyone on this deck can take it down.

As long as Chai Zheng is eliminated and Yaoyao is taken down, all the things King Keqin has dreamed of for many years will come true. He really did not expect such a good thing to happen in this attack on Dajing.

"Really?" Yaoyao took Que Linglong from her neck, and after the rain washed, Que Linglong looked more emerald green, and the seeds of the sacred tree sprouted in the middle, with a little blue color breaking out at the top.

Yaoyao asked, "Wang, do you know what it means for the germination of Shenmu seeds?"

King Keqin's complexion was quite bad, the corners of his mouth were tense, and he didn't speak for a while.

"It means that our sacred tree is exhausted and needs to be replaced by this bud. Between the king and the priest, there must be someone who sacrifices his body to keep the sacred tree flourishing for hundreds of years." Yaoyao sighed. .

Chai Zheng's pupils suddenly dilated, and she looked back at Yaoyao.

Mu Sang still has this broken rule?In Dajing, even if there were sacrifices to living people, there was no mention of crushing the current emperor to the guillotine, not to mention the emperor, the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty were not so good, it was ordinary people who were unlucky.

Mu Sang is very fair, Shenmu is not happy unless his status is detached.

"What do you mean?" King Keqin was obviously murderous, his voice was gloomy like a cloud that could not be dissolved.

Chai Zheng reacted quickly, she stood in front of Yaoyao with a long sword and a flower, if anyone made a rash move, it would have to depend on whether she agreed or not.

"My eyes," Yaoyao pointed at herself, "I only have one pair in a thousand years. They act on behalf of the gods. Even the seeds germinate in my hands. I can't make a death sacrifice. I am the caretaker of the sacred tree... Wang , don’t worry, Prince Xianyi is already on this ship, after your death, the throne will not be vacant, and I, Mu Sang, will still be prosperous for a hundred years.”

Following Yaoyao's words, the air suddenly became icy cold. King Keqin was satisfied when he saw Yaoyao, why didn't he want the good things delivered to his door, besides, Yaoyao was also accompanied by Dajing people - he defected to his opponent during the war , what crime is greater than treason?

All his arguments have been prepared. As long as Yaoyao is convicted, even if no one dares to kill Wu Heng, they can still be arrested and imprisoned in the Priest's House, and become his pocket. Unexpectedly, the Shenmu seeds germinated!

Seeds that have been immobile for hundreds of years have germinated!

Those in high positions suddenly felt helpless and desolate.

When he was young, because of Wu Hengluo's criticism, he first lost his wife and children, and later rebelled, and lost his brothers and sisters.Although riding the wind and enjoying the glory high above, recalling that he also passed through the wind and waves in the past, it is only now that he realizes that he is just a pawn in the hands of God. When his life is at an end, a sprouted seed, A 12-year-old girl can kill herself badly.

In the wind and rain, King Keqin could not see the expressions of the people around him, but he knew in his heart that Musang Kingdom respected the power of the gods after all. The so-called "divine right of kings" is unique to Wu Heng. Anyone can be a king unless the gods want to give up one. An ambitious high priest, otherwise no one would be able to shake Wu Heng's position.

The soldiers who had followed him on this deck for many years had already begun to waver.

Yaoyao said again, "I know that you have placed restrictions on me, and you can control my behavior if necessary, but Musang's forbidden technique is attached to things, people are immortal, and those attached to people are spells. Once the person dies, it will be lifted in an instant, king, our gods never like people who seize power, theocratic power and imperial power must coexist and split, and the high priests who rebelled in the Wumu family were all rejected by the gods, how can you last long?"
