crow

Yu Lian'er stepped on her horse and stood guard outside the city.It's just separated by a wall, but inside the wall is like Avici Hell.

There was a thud when the city gate was hit, and with a burst of heart-piercing cries, the noise inside the door stopped abruptly, and thick blood flowed out from the crack of the door.

Yu Lian'er frowned, cursed, and looked back at Wen Shuying who ran out.Wen Shuying clenched her hands into fists, tightly closed her eyes and dared not open them.There was less than a moment of silence inside the door, and then there was noise again, and Wen Shuying simply blocked her ears.

Yu Lian'er turned her head with a cold face, and saw that the city gate was open at this time, seeing the opportunity came, she raised the general flag in her hand and rushed up first, shouting: "Come on!!!!"

Before the words fell, the infantry behind them swarmed.Several soldiers and holding a thick siege log began to hit the city gate.The defenders inside the city gate were busy dealing with the county residents who were biting up, but Yu Lian'er smashed open the city gate within a moment, and the soldiers rushed in.

Yu Lian'er shouted: "Rush out!! There is food!!!"

The soldiers should also say together: "Rush out!! There is food!!!"

The already hungry county residents heard that there was food, and rushed out like a pack of hungry wolves, and the soldiers guarding the city were trampled under their feet by the crowd.

Too many people rushed out, Yu Lian'er's army was unable to regroup for a while, and was dispersed by the county residents.Pu Yangye was still lucky, seeing that Yu Lian'er's side was wild and chaotic, he quickly ordered the archers to shoot arrows.

Yu Lian'er was undefended, and was shot in the arm by an arrow. He cursed, pulled out the arrow, and shouted: "The catapult is ready! The former army rushed in with me!"

Once the catapult started to operate, flying stones filled the sky.Many county residents were hit by falling flying stones.Yu Lian'er didn't care about the life and death of those county residents, and rushed in with the infantry, intercepting the county residents who were about to escape at the gate of the city.The two sides immediately fought fiercely in the city.

Wen Shuying combed her hair in a bun, and distributed food to the county residents along with the heavy soldiers.Some of them have become skinny and skinny, which is especially terrifying.

The battle lasted for a whole night, and Cangwu City was raging with flames. It was not until dawn that a rain fell and the fire was extinguished.Seeing that Yu Lian'er is unstoppable, the Liu thief unexpectedly conspired to tie up Pu Yangye and hand them over to Yu Lian'er for forgiveness.

Yu Lian'er was not in a hurry, and recalled the heavy soldiers and county people outside the city back to the city.

There was not much food left in Pu Yangye's search, and Yu Lian'er distributed the army food to the county people, and the remaining food could not be used by the soldiers for a long time.But he won the hearts of the people, and the county people under the city wall shouted him as the savior.

Yu Lian'er didn't care about these things, but Wen Shuying felt extremely proud when she heard those voices. He asked Yu Lian'er: "Is it more proud to be revered than to kill someone?"

Yu Lian'er curled her lips, causing people to be pushed against the city wall by Pu Yangye.The two people who defected were Pu Yangye's advisers, they were pushed up together, knelt on the ground, begging for mercy.

When Wen Shuying saw Pu Yangye, she wanted to go up and slap him on the mouth, but seeing that Yu Lian'er didn't make a sound, she didn't want to talk too much.

Pu Yangye was still arrogant and unreasonable, looked up at Yu Lian'er, and spat: "Straight mother! Thief kills talent! If it wasn't for Lao Tzu back then! Little thief, you are still farming now!"

Yu Lian'er sucked her teeth and said with a smile, "It's good to farm the land."

"You crook!" Pu Yangye scolded, "What good did that dog emperor do to you? He actually betrayed your father!"

"It's not your son!" Wen Shuying couldn't bear it anymore, and pointed at Pu Yangye's nose and cursed.

Pu Yangye doubted slightly, turned his gaze to Wen Shuying, he looked at it for a moment, laughed loudly, stared at Yu Lian'er with squinted eyes, and said with a smile: "Dare, it's the dog prince who gave you a bird Bird licking! Hahahaha!"

Pu Yangye uttered the word "bird", and Wen Shuying blushed with shame, stepped forward to punch and kick Pu Yangye.

Pu Yangye knelt on the ground and dodged left and right, but he was unable to move, and was scratched by Wen Shuying into a disfigured face.Pu Yangye scolded: "Straight mother thief! Take care of this bird licker of yours!"

Yu Lian'er cocked her mouth and pinched her nostrils, not stopping Wen Shuying, and turned to look at the two trembling counselors.

One of the counselors with a goatee chuckled twice, cupped his hands and said: "General, this bastard has been... tied up by the two of us, why didn't the general execute him on the spot, heh..."

"Hey..." Yu Lian'er imitated the goatee and laughed a few times, took out the knife and patted his face, and said, "The Fa-rectification on the spot? I will give you the Fa-rectification on the spot first!"

"No way!" The goatee quickly waved his hand and said, "That old thief was kidnapped by us!"

The other fat man nodded straightly, looked at the knife gleaming in Yu Lian'er's hand, and said falteringly: "If... if it wasn't for the two of us, the general might not be able to catch this old thief!"

"Old thief, old thief." Yu Lian'er said: "One mouthful and one old thief, he is your king! You two are greedy for life and afraid of death!"

Seeing that Yu Lian'er didn't take compliments, the goatee immediately became anxious and shouted: "Yu Gui!! You were also a traitor who voted for the court!"

Goatee thought that Yu Lian'er would have a little sense of identity with her peers, so she let him go. Unexpectedly, as soon as his words fell, Yu Lian'er swung the knife down and chopped off Goatee's head.The fat man was so frightened that he feces and urine flowed, and he shouted tremblingly: "Please, General!!!"

Yu Lian'er spat and cursed: "I didn't follow him back then, because his mother couldn't understand him killing innocent people indiscriminately!" After Yu Lian'er finished speaking, she chopped off the fat man's head: "Who is like you two."

Seeing the heads of those two fell to the ground, Pu Yangye laughed loudly and said, "Okay! Well done!"

Pu Yangye was like a lunatic, knowing that death was imminent but he had no fear, he looked up at Yu Lian'er and laughed, "You little bastard, you are cruel enough! Like me! My lord has already seen that you have a future! Hahaha!"

Wen Shuying backed away in shock from his crazy appearance, hid behind Yu Lian'er, and shouted: "You are a lunatic!"

Pu Yangye poohed, stared at Wen Shuying and smiled, "You ignorant bird-licker! You don't know sense!" Pu Yangye shook his head, looked at Yu Lian'er again, and said, "If you spare my life, I will pay you back!" We can make a comeback! When the two of us succeed, we can divide the country equally!"

Wen Shuying was afraid that Yu Lian'er would be persuaded by him, so she grabbed Yu Lian'er's clothes and said, "Don't listen to him."

Pu Yangye shouted: "You don't understand, you bastard! Don't listen to him, little bastard!"

Yu Lian'er pushed Wen Shuying's hand away, looked at Pu Yangye, with a distressed face, and said, "I will share it with you? Damn, when you are in the mountains and rivers, this Jishui will be red, and it will be divided equally. Divide your grandma equally!"

"Hi!" Pu Yangye poked his neck and asked, "Why are you still swearing!"

Wen Shuying really felt that Pu Yangye had a bad mind, as if he had hysteria. He looked at Pu Yangye with disgust and fear.

Yu Lian'er sighed, shook her head, and said, "If you weren't so cruel, you wouldn't be like this."

Pu Yangye looked at Yu Lian'er who was slowly approaching, closed his eyes, and said, "Then you do it, be quick."

Wen Shuying: "..."

"Okay." Yu Lian'er raised the knife and said, "I'll treat it as your kindness, and I'll give you a good time."

"Okay!" Pu Yangye stretched his neck and said, "Come on!"

Yu Lian'er stopped talking and was about to chop off with a knife, Pu Yangye suddenly shouted: "Wait!"

Pu Yangye's voice was rough and full of air, and Wen Shuying, who had been on guard all along, was so frightened by his voice that she sat down on the ground.

Pu Yangye chuckled at Wen Shuying, looked at Yu Lian'er, and said, "Let me scold you a few more times, and I will feel uncomfortable in my heart."

Yu Lian'er said helplessly: "Curse it, scold it."

"Hmm..." Pu Yangye thought for a while and said, "Forget it, I can't remember what to scold."

Wen Shuying: "..."

Yu Lian'er said: "Then I will do it."

"Let's do it." Pu Yangye grinned.

Yu Lian'er swung the knife down, Pu Yangye's head fell off, and Gu LuLu rolled to Yu Lian'er's feet.

Yu Lian'er lifted his head up, froze for a moment, then shook her head and smiled wryly... Pu Yangye even put on a grinning expression before he died.

"What a fucking lunatic." Yu Lian'er threw Pu Yangye's head into the wooden box, picked up Wen Shuying, hugged her in her arms, rubbed it, and said, "Let's go, talk to the county magistrate, and go back after we're done." Take the reward."

……

A few days after Duan Shiyu brought Zhang Ziwen back to Kyoto, Zhang Ziwen fell seriously ill.Regardless of his status, Duan Shiyu let Zhang Ziwen sleep on his dragon couch, and asked the imperial doctor to nurse him every day.

Such behavior spread to the ears of the Empress Dowager in the strictly guarded palace.The old lady's body was getting weaker day by day, she didn't want to be angry with Duan Shiyu anymore, so she asked Mrs. Zhao to settle the score with Duan Shiyu later.

After the court discussion, Duan Shiyu returned to Shouyang Palace, while Zhang Ziwen was still resting with his eyes closed.More than half a month has passed, and Zhang Ziwen seems to have no intention of getting better.

Duan Shiyu sighed and asked Kutuo to call Ji Qingyun back to the palace, but Ji Qingyun didn't come, and Empress Dowager Zhao came first.

Before Queen Mother Zhao came in, Zhang Ziwen opened his eyes and said, "Your Majesty, let them fight among themselves." After saying that, Zhang Ziwen closed his eyes again.

Duan Shiyu was surprised when Zhang Ziwen woke up, and Queen Mother Zhao had already entered the house.

Empress Dowager Zhao is no longer the concubine she used to be. The hairpin on her head is decorated with colorful stones, her body is exquisitely dressed, and she looks very noble.

Duan Shiyu knew the intention of Mrs. Zhao later, he first pretended to be stupid, walked over to hold the hand of Mrs. Zhao, and said with a smile: "Mother, why are you here?"

Empress Dowager Zhao glanced at Duan Shiyu, then looked at Zhang Ziwen lying on the bed, and asked, "Is he still okay?"

"En." Duan Shiyu nodded.

Empress Dowager Zhao sighed, walked slowly to the window, and said, "You know, what does mother come here for?"

"Well, I know." Duan Shiyu walked over and said, "Is it about Uncle Qi?"

Empress Dowager Zhao showed a look of surprise on her indifferent face, she turned to look at Duan Shiyu, and asked, "Him? What happened to him?"

"Mother doesn't know?" Duan Shiyu said, "I thought mother came here for this purpose."

Queen Mother Zhao shook her head with doubts in her eyes.

Duan Shiyu clenched his fists and said, "Not to mention that Uncle Qi withheld my son's military salary. A few days ago, when the bandits in the south were wiped out, my son dispatched some soldiers to escort those civilian husbands who were stranded in Beijing back to their hometowns. Uncle Qi actually took some soldiers away from them. That Crane Pavilion guarding him."

Empress Dowager Zhao's eyes were uncertain, she looked at the bare tree outside the window, thought for a while, then raised her head and asked Duan Shiyu: "Does the Empress Dowager know?"

Duan Shiyu said: "The old man must know. Ke'er told her about the military pay when she just returned to Beijing. Guess what she said?"

"How to say?"

"She said that with that little food, no one would die from starvation." Duan Shiyu slammed his fist on the window edge, and said, "Her old lady doesn't know how to fight, and what she fights for is the military pay."

"Prince Qi is her son, so she will naturally take sides." Queen Mother Zhao said.

"But this is a major event for the country!" Duan Shiyu said angrily, "If this matter is not handled well, people won't say what about the Empress Dowager, nor Prince Qi, but only say that the emperor didn't do well, hehe , put all the shit bowls on my son's head."

Empress Dowager Zhao sighed, adjusted Duan Shiyu's clothes, and said: "The old lady's health is not very good, you, just bear with it, don't be too angry with her."

"Mother!" Duan Shiyu held the hand of Empress Dowager Zhao, and said, "Think about it, this capital and this court are all from their Liu family. Although the father emperor wanted to establish a new emperor, he also arranged for his uncle to enter the court. Being an official, you can compare with their Liu family. Even if grandma is gone, their Liu family has taken root in the court, and at that time, it will be difficult for even the emperor to move."

Empress Dowager Zhao felt a sense of crisis in her heart, and she asked Duan Shiyu, "Then what should we do?"

Duan Shiyu thought for a while, his eyes lit up, and he said, "Mother, do you know Xian Shijun Liu Jing and Xuanping Marquis Liu Si?"

The Empress Dowager Zhao said: "The two nephews of the Empress Dowager?"

"En." Duan Shiyu said: "I heard that the two of them had a quarrel with Uncle Qi because of a piece of land, I want to call them to investigate this matter."

Empress Dowager Zhao let go of Duan Shiyu's hand, and said: "But... Prince Qi helped you after all, is it wrong for you to cross the river and tear down the bridge?"

"Mother." Duan Shiyu said: "If Uncle Qi didn't do too much, would he be so heartless?"

Empress Dowager Zhao shook her head, walked out the door, and said, "Mother has to discuss this matter with your uncle."

Duan Shiyu followed her and said, "I want my mother to keep this matter a secret for a while."

Empress Dowager Zhao stopped and asked, "How do you hide it?"

Duan Shiyu said: "It's going to be winter soon, grandma will go to the hot spring palace when winter comes, please mother to take care of grandma."

Empress Dowager Zhao thought for a while, nodded, patted Duan Shiyu's hand, and said, "My son, you have grown up."

Duan Shiyu smiled, but did not speak.

Empress Dowager Zhao let go of Duan Shiyu, and the maid went to support Empress Dowager Zhao.Empress Dowager Zhao walked a few steps, suddenly remembered, turned around, and said, "By the way, mother came this time to remind you that it's time to favor the harem."

Duan Shiyu: "..."

Empress Dowager Zhao said: "If you raise a male favorite, your mother doesn't care about you, but the harem cannot be left behind. It is important to pass on the family line."

"I know mother."

Empress Dowager Zhao nodded, and then left in peace.
