Chang'an [Rebirth]

The words Yaoyao said were not all from her heart. The allusions about the germination of the Shenmu and the rebellion of the high priest of the Ebony clan were all taught by Ruan Linshuang. Yaoyao seemed to be a detached Wu Heng. In fact, the restraint was not lifted. She was just superficially powerful. That's all.

King Keqin was a little anxious. The things he had cultivated over the years since Yaoyao appeared had already fallen apart. All his plans were no match for the talent given by God. However, for so many years in a high position, King Keqin had learned not to admit defeat. He knew that This matter needs to be resolved quickly, the more Yaoyao talks, the more people will favor her.

"Take this Dajing man to me!!" King Keqin was also smart, he didn't move Wu Heng, but first targeted Chai Zheng.

Yaoyao is only protected by Chai Zheng, so as long as Wu Heng is separated from Chai Zheng, he will have a chance to sneak in.

The crowd was in a commotion, as Chai Zheng was from Dajing, he really had no special privileges. As soon as King Keqin said his words, someone came to greet him, and then hundreds of people rushed forward. Unbearable, Chai Zheng's eyes only left Yaoyao's body for a moment, and Yaoyao already felt a pair of cold hands pinching her neck from behind.

Her eyes have seen many endings, but about herself, there is only one from beginning to end——

It was pouring rain in the sky, and there was a big fire in front of it. It was clearly night, but the surrounding area was crimson. King Keqin's hands came around from behind, cold and firm, and with just a slight movement, his neck would be twisted broken.

King Keqin had been trained in the army. His hand strength was very strong, and he felt a sense of suffocation. King Keqin was determined to kill Wu Heng. As long as Wu Heng died and the sacrifice for the Shenmu was found, he would be able to fight again. Cultivate your own Wu Heng.

Wu Heng's death in the hands of the king will of course cause criticism, but the sacred tree is special, there must be a dead sacrifice and a living sacrifice, and the king and Wu Heng respectively play roles in it. Since Wu Heng is dead, the king must keep it, otherwise the sacred tree will still wither .

King Keqin was confident, he originally wanted Yaoyao to live, but now he only wanted Yaoyao to die.

Chai Zheng's sword slashed away the rain, and her eyes were blurred by the torch. At this moment, she finally understood why Yaoyao said that someone must leave at the end of the story——

I may be able to escape by jumping into the sea at this time, but Yaoyao will die, but if I try my best to save Yaoyao, and the weapons are lost in the encirclement of hundreds of people, Chai Zheng wonders if he can't do the same as Mei Xueyun and Yuan Si. , without foreign matter.

Her mother probably couldn't do it.

"Yaoyao!" Chai Zheng gritted his teeth and shouted, "Do you remember what Xiao Ruan told you!"

Yaoyao had already accepted her fate, her consciousness was dissociated, and her sense of suffocation was so strong, but Chai Zheng's voice injected internal force, and the rain flowed backwards, pulling back Yaoyao's consciousness for a short time, and her fingertips hooked into her sleeves. , The sharpened bamboo strips were first stuck into the back of King Keqin's hand, and when he let go, Yaoyao pulled out the bamboo strips and inserted them into King Keqin's eyes again!

They were too close, and King Keqin never imagined that Yaoyao had both a deadly weapon and the courage to fight. His left eye was bleeding like a fountain, and he fell to his knees with a scream of pain. In front of him, the moon-white gown was dyed red, and the peacock looked like a reborn phoenix.

She still held the sharp bamboo stick tightly in her hand, "My lord, I am no longer the little doll you used to manipulate. Mother and father have put in so much effort to protect me. I don't intend to return this life to the heavens."

After the voice fell, accompanied by the explosion of thunder, Yaoyao said, "Stop it!"

The king was severely injured, and Wu Heng's words were the only imperial decree. Sometimes Chai Zheng felt that Musang's coexistence of imperial power and divine power was very interesting. If someone killed the king in Dajing, even if this person was the queen, he would be beaten down by a thousand knives at the moment. The pieces were thrown into the sea to feed the fish, but Wu Heng killed Wang, and none of the witnesses cared about it.

It seems that the flower fertilizer of Shenmu has been settled, and I am a little happy in my heart.

Following Yaoyao's words, the people who had been rushing up to take Chai Zheng's life just now stopped and retreated in an instant, forming a semi-encircled situation again.

Musang people are brave, but their brains are not enough. Chai Zheng thought to himself, "Give me hundreds of people, and I will form dozens of formations for you."

The deck was full of injured or dead people. The blood was washed by the rain and poured into the sea with the waves. Chai Zheng walked up to Yaoyao and pulled the little girl away from King Keqin lying on the ground.

There are not a few people who pretend to be dead on the battlefield. She is not from Musang. If the battle is to end, Chai Zheng can only be an outsider protecting Yaoyao from a distance. Wu Heng can kill the king, and even Xianyi can make up for it. But if Chai Zheng solved King Keqin, he would become a sinner on the spot.

It is uncertain whether King Keqin really dies, Chai Zheng can only keep Yaoyao away, even if King Keqin does anything wrong, it will not hurt Yaoyao.

In the intertwining of lightning and torches, someone suddenly said, "See Wu Heng, and welcome Wu Heng back to court."

Immediately after that, she fell to her knees, Yaoyao's eyes shone like jewels in the flickering light, her voice was tender and tender, "Get up."

Xian Yi and Luo He arrived late, and just as the truce was announced, the gunfire on the sea ahead gradually subsided, and Luo He was in a hurry. As soon as he emerged from the cabin, he was startled by the situation on the deck.

The crowd automatically separated to the two sides, and their coach walked to King Keqin. There was a lot of blood dripping from King Keqin's body, and the person hadn't moved for a long time. Before Luo He reached out to sniff, Yaoyao said, "People have already died."

In the situation just now, Yaoyao tried her best and hit extremely ruthlessly, the bamboo stick pierced her eyes and directly pierced her head, but just now, Yaoyao's eyes suddenly loosened, and the past happened in a flash, she finally remembered Those forbidden memories.

Chai Zheng looked at Yaoyao, sighed after a while, put the umbrella in Yaoyao's hand, and then backed away from her.

From then on, Mu Sang Wuheng and General Dajing were different.

"Everyone, King Keqin conspired to rebel and usurp the throne. His death at the hands of Wu Heng is considered divine punishment, and this is Prince Xianyi. According to the ancestral system, the throne should belong to him." Luo He has always been very prestigious in the army. , he is willing to defect, and everything is logical.

As an outsider, Chai Zheng was standing on the edge of the deck near the sea, drenched in the rain, thinking out of boredom, "Luo He has really limped a leg, but unfortunately I have to count on him to retreat in this life, otherwise he would be so angry that he vomited blood." .”

Although King Keqin valued Luo He very much, in the final analysis, the first emperor was Luo He's bole. If the first emperor did not appoint people on merit, Luo He would not be able to climb to his current position... Most of the army is King Keqin's cronies, and he is holding back his rebellion , and has military power in his hands, he has already started to eradicate dissidents a few years ago, if Luo He hadn't endured the humiliation, he would have lost his life now.

"General Luo," Xian Yi said, "Let's retreat first, the commander is dead, the current situation is turbulent, and the current situation is not suitable for further fighting."

In fact, Luohe didn't want to fight this battle. Ever since King Keqin rebelled, there was no peace in Musang. There have been countless battles in the past ten years, but there are very few opportunities to recuperate. He continued to recruit soldiers, and in the end he had to rely on robbing if he could not be recruited. Those who had boys of the right age at home wanted to hide them from others.

But this time, King Keqin was a little crazy. Most of Musang's troops were on display at sea. At this time, Musang's country was empty. If there was a sneak attack from a small country behind him, it might not last long. Luohe might even occupy Dajing Half of the territory, Musang fell, and he couldn't even go back to his homeland.

Now that Xianyi asked him to retreat, Luo He finally breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly said, "Yes, this subordinate will pass on the order."

At the end, his eyes looked at Yaoyao again, "Is this Wu Heng?"

Yaoyao's eyes are so recognizable that even if someone else wanted to impersonate her, it would probably be impossible. With the lifting of the restriction, the red circle in her pupils gradually faded away, and she is slowly returning to normal color.

Luo He has not seen such a thrilling rainbow light for many years, Yaoyao doesn't need to give too much self-proof, Luo He has firmly believed that she is indeed the high priest of Mu Sang, so he said politely, "Please refer to Wu Heng. "

"No need," Yaoyao said with a very indifferent expression, "I have several friends on the main ship, I hope General Luo will let them leave safely, and don't pursue the matter of breaking into the main ship today."

"Since they came here to escort the prince and Wu Heng, I will naturally not pursue it," Luo He cupped his hands, "Your subordinates will make arrangements now."

Xue Yu struggled to support himself on the sea in front of him, Musang artillery fire was fierce, and medium-sized ships broke into his own fleet. Although there were old ships and hulks blocking them, the fire was fierce and tung oil helped. Instead of extinguishing the fire, the torrential rain allowed the fire to flow faster.

Although he had ordered all the ships to stay away from the fire zone in advance, it was a pity that the entire sea was full of sparks, and there were Musang warships chasing and fighting fiercely at the edge, forcefully forcing the ships that wanted to break out to come back.

Xue Yu was already drenched by the rain, just when he was about to fight with his back, the Mu Sang ship suddenly started to retreat!

"Report!" The scout who had been observing the enemy reported immediately, "General, the enemy troops directly in front are retreating, and there are also signs of loosening in other directions. Should we take this opportunity to catch up or break through?"

"Send the order to break through, don't confront Mu Sang head-on, anyone who disobeys the order will be killed!" Xue Yu made a prompt decision.

His voice trembled slightly, and he knew in his heart that this was Little General Chai's success... As long as it was one o'clock at night, his South China Sea Navy might be completely wiped out!

Luohe originally had the intention of retreating, so as soon as the order was issued, the entire fleet retreated in an orderly manner in an instant. Luohe sent vanguards to take half of the ships home to prevent the Musang Islands from being attacked, and the remaining half remained. stay here.

Chai Zheng has already wiped off the water stains on her body. Fortunately, the weather is not cold, and her wound is covered with three layers of inner and outer layers. Military doctor Mu Sang came to see it and changed a layer of medicine, except for the outer layer of skin blisters. It's a little whitish, but it's not a big deal.

Xianyi and Yaoyao sat at the top, Luo He led a group of generals to worship at the bottom, and other living Dajing people have also been arranged properly, and they are all gathered in other cabins, the seriously injured are being treated, and those who can eat and move are treated with respect stay, but not allowed to leave the cabin.

Chai Zheng was specially approved to enter here. She is now an envoy of Dajing, and she has to participate in some things. Besides, both Xianyi and Yaoyao trust her, so it is hard for Luo He to say anything, just pay attention——

He hasn't discovered that Chai Zheng is the fake Wu Heng who cheated him back then.

The rain on the sea was heavy and harvested quickly. After a night of non-stop, the sun was finally seen. The sea was calm and even the wind was much less.

The cabin was unusually stable, the effect of the medicine had not yet passed, and Chai Zheng was still in good spirits, but suddenly, in a corner where no one noticed, Chai Zheng felt a sharp pain in his chest, not the pain of tearing open the wound, It's more like something is wedged into my heart, and after the sharp pain, it seems like a piece is missing, and there is nowhere to go.

"Little Ruan..." Chai Zheng said softly, "Are you in danger?"

Ruan Linshuang was thousands of miles away from her, so of course no one came to answer her muttering.

In the cabin, it was Luo He who broke the silence first. He said, "I hope His Royal Highness and Wu Heng can go back to Musang with me. The situation in Musang is not good now. Although my subordinates have ordered to block the news that King Keqin is dead, but With part of the fleet returning to the country, this news cannot be hidden for long... Once it spreads, there will be chaos inside and outside the court, and the priesthood cannot be alone."

Luo He is telling the truth, there is no leader among the dragons, as long as they can reach a high position, they will want to fight for the honor of the emperor or even the high priest. With Shang Wuheng at his side, and with a pure bloodline, he could stabilize the situation as soon as possible.

"Besides," Luo He felt that Chai Zheng looked familiar, but it was only the eighteenth change of the female college student. Chai Zheng met him back then, and he dressed very differently. The person who asked Chai Zheng was, "Little girl, can you be the leader of Dajing? If not, it's better to let your leader come to see me."

"..." Chai Zheng wanted to break his other leg as well.

It is rare for a person to be so hated.

"Don't worry, General Luo, I can be the master of Dajing. If you are worried, you can ask your crown prince and Wu Heng." Chai Zheng was not impatient, and she said lightly, "If you have something to say, let it go. There are other things to be busy with, and you Musang are not worth my troubles."

Luo He was furious.

Fortunately, Xianyi could see the tense atmosphere, and he had a little friendship on both sides, so he hurriedly said, "Uncle Luo, the one in front of you is the only daughter of Duke Chai, the young general Chai of Dajing, who is now in charge of the South China Sea Navy. She really can call the shots."

"Chai Zheng!" Luo He sat up in shock from his dying illness, he said in a trembling voice, "You are Chai Zheng! Back then it was you..."

"General Luo, the two armies are at war, and the soldiers never tire of deceit. Back then, you and I were hostile. If you don't repel you, you will enter my Tongzhou City. I have no choice." I put away all my impatience, and even apologized, "If General Luo still feels that he can't let go, I will definitely come to apologize next time."

Luo He was coaxed into a little embarrassment, he coughed and said, "It's not that bad, the young master is a young hero, and he is also the benefactor and friend of the prince and Wu Heng, so naturally I don't mind."

Chai Zheng said in his heart, "That's good, you guys withdraw your troops quickly, I'm in a hurry to go back to Chang'an, what's the situation with Xiao Ruan, why did something happen?"

But the face is still very calm, it seems that he really intends to make friends with Luo He.

"Since the young master can make the decision, then we will retreat from the coastal defense line, and hope that the South China Sea Navy will not be aggressive. We both agreed to suspend the war, and our newly enthroned king will decide whether to fight or make peace afterwards. "

Luo He added, "I know that this is a good opportunity for Dajing to take advantage of the situation, but last night you all saw how powerful my navy is, if you do it again, I'm afraid both sides will suffer."

"We backed down now, but in exchange for what you said, 'the future will be war or peace'?" Chai Zheng felt a little funny, "That's not how the negotiations started. General Luo, don't bully me when I'm young."

Luo He was startled.

Chai Zheng said again, "I need Prince Xianyi and Wu Heng to write down a peace treaty between the two sides in black and white. Since they both need to recuperate, why bother to hold on to it with all their strength."

"This..." Luo He looked up at Xianyi and Yaoyao.

"Little General Chai is right. Mu Sang has probably been ruined by others over the years. Instead of ambiguous attitudes between the two parties, it is better to make a temporary agreement today," Xian Yi said, "During my reign, I will definitely make good friends with Dajing , the two sides are friendly neighbors to each other, and neither invades. How about it, is the little general satisfied?"

"Okay! Wu Heng is here today, with Que Linglong. As long as the agreement is left to take effect, I will let Xue Yu retreat and return to the dock. If there are small countries invading, General Luo can come to borrow troops at any time."

Chai Zheng is also very straightforward.

In view of the urgent matters on both sides, Luo He, as a general, had no choice but to draw up a treaty, Chai Zheng and Xian Yi pressed their fingerprints and Wu Heng's Que Linglong, and the matter was settled.

The so-called treaties have to be observed by people. When King Keqin lost a battle, he also promised to surrender for a hundred years. The emperors and ambassadors of both sides came and went. The court was full of civil and military affairs, and the people all over the world witnessed it. As a result, King Keqin turned his face when he said he would turn his back. Therefore, Chai Zheng was not afraid that the treaty was not formal enough, she believed in Xianyi, a branch could still form an alliance back then, if not forced, Xianyi would keep his promise.

As for Yaoyao... Chai Zheng sighed, put the paper back into his sleeve, and said, "Can I have a few words with little Wuheng alone?"

Luo He wanted to object, Yaoyao was noble after all, Wuheng Musang like her has never been recorded in history, so it can be seen how rare it is, and Chai Zheng once cheated him once, and he has already ruined his character here in Luohe, if she is released She was in the same room with Wu Heng, and she would slash with her knife. Wu Heng is a weak fortune-teller, and he can beat bandits?

However, before he opened his mouth, Xianyi agreed first, and Luo He couldn't refute it anymore. Looking at the appearance of little Wu Heng, he also wanted to whisper a few words to Chai Zheng, so he cupped his hands unwillingly, with a full heart The people in the cabin withdrew.

Xian Yi left a sentence, "Tomorrow at the latest after cleaning up the mess here, we will set off to return to Musang, and we must make everything clear... If Yaoyao really doesn't want to go back to Musang, it's okay, I can help her Take care of the Shenmu." He also left with Luo He.

Only Chai Zheng and Yaoyao were left in the cabin.

The main ship Musang is huge and incomparably large, the weather outside is good, there are no waves, and the cabin is very stable, even Gu Hensheng can bear it when he vomits when he sees water.

Chai Zheng looked at Yaoyao and did not speak. This Wu Heng is different from the one in her memory. Yaoyao is different from other children since she was born. This is a talent given by God, and people will change due to the accumulation of days Yes, Chai Zheng doesn't know how much Yaoyao has changed after recovering her memory, but this change must exist.

After being silent for a long time, Yaoyao finally withdrew her gaze and looked at Chai Zheng who was so bored that she was digging at the corner of the table. This solid wooden table was not enough for Chai Zheng alone in the cabin.

"Don't you have something to tell me?" Yaoyao said.

"Yes, but I don't want to speak first if you don't speak up," Chai Zheng said with a smile, "After all, in my heart, you are only 12 years old, and you are still a little girl... Is it difficult to kill someone for the first time?"

Yaoyao was silent again, she had already changed her clothes, and washed off the blood splashed on her, but the warm feeling was still there, Yaoyao's eyes could see through the sky, but she was not an old man who had gone through many vicissitudes , the little girl is only 12 years old, and she has never even killed a chicken before.

"Depriving others of their lives is a very painful thing, but Yaoyao, if you really become Wu Heng in the future, you will have to face the power in your hands. In Musang, you are above ten thousand people, and all Your life is at your fingertips, you have to remember, these people are just like you and me, don't easily distinguish between high and low."

Chai Zheng sighed, "This is the last thing Xiao Ruan and I will teach you, Yaoyao, the two elder sisters will not be able to accompany you in the future."

She suddenly lifted the hem of her clothes, and knelt down in front of Yaoyao, "May Mu Sang Wuheng live a safe and happy life, and his wishes come true. Dajing Chaizheng bids farewell."

In Yaoyao's eyes, the eternal cold, coming, summer, past, rising, and sunset suddenly froze at this moment, and tears blocked her vision. She watched Chai Zheng push the door and disappear into the long corridor.

The fate is over, and I can't force it anymore.

Chai Zheng led the surviving group to meet Xue Yu on the Musang light ship. This trip suffered heavy losses, Gu Hensheng was injured, and Kuan Yuan's arm was bloody and bloody. , Only eight came back, Pei Niannian did not come back, she said to Chai Zheng when she parted, "I said that I will protect little Wuheng, I will go wherever she goes in the future, I am here, don't worry."

And those young soldiers have been baptized by the flames of war, and they seem to be reborn one by one. Half of the friends who used to eat, drink, prostitute and gamble stayed in the sea, and anyone would grow up rapidly.

Chai Zheng sent all the seriously injured back to the city for medical treatment, and he also let Zhang Xingzhong feel the pulse, coughing up blood almost came out, but Dr. Zhang was relieved, he thought that Chai Zheng's injury would be more serious, that medicine It would be nice to be able to stand still, but Chai Zheng was in good spirits, and his wounds had not deteriorated.

Towards dusk, Chai Zheng found some free time. There was no good wine in the army. She stood on the South China Sea with the survivors of the battle, and offered a cup to the souls of the dead. She couldn't drink it herself, so she substituted tea for wine.

Xue Yu could handle the rest of these things, so as soon as it got dark, Chai Zheng left the Yellow Sea in a boat and headed for Chang'an.

Doctor Zhang was very angry when he was packing his luggage, "I told her that she couldn't make trouble in this situation, but she didn't listen. What's the matter in a day or two?"

Chai Zheng smiled playfully, "Can I not be in a hurry to see my sweetheart? Besides, the north is still flying, and my eagle's wings are about to break. If I don't go to Liangzhou, Wang Wan will probably die on the city wall... I owe it to you." If you kill him, you can't let him die in the line of duty again."

Those two sentences made Dr. Zhang speechless and could only sigh, "How can you be so young, you can't be idle for a moment."

In fact, the first half of Chai Zheng's sentence is the main thing. Before the evening sacrifice to the dead, she received a letter from Beijing. It's all business.

Ruan Linshuang guessed that starting from the land of two rivers would take too long on the road, so she decided that once the city of Chang'an was settled down, she would directly ask the Duke of the State to lead troops north to support Wang Wan, and Ping'an's eyes were almost healed. With the real power in Credit Chou County, he followed him, whether it was food or intelligence, he could save Wang Wan a bit of effort.

According to the current situation in Chang'an City, the casualties of our own side will not be too great, and at least [-] soldiers and horses can be allocated to help, and the Duke is a veteran who has experienced many battles, so Chai Zheng doesn't have to worry too much.

She simply wanted to meet her sweetheart.
