[The Wind Rises in Luoyang] The Extraordinary Branches of the Festival

When Li Beiqi heard that Wu You decided to let the refugees into the city and blow up Hanjiacang during the Lantern Festival, he refused.

But why didn't he hesitate when asked him to kill Li Ji, Kang Jin, and Kang Zhanbi?Maybe he himself knows the seriousness of the fried granary.

Exploding Hanjiacang is treason and a serious crime against the nine clans.

So when Wu Youjue said that he would implicate Wu Siyue if he reported to the government, Li Beiqi compromised.

In fact, he still has a third way to go, which is to pretend to agree, and then secretly inform Wu Siyue.Then the two work together to stop Wu Youjue's crazy behavior.

If Li Beiqi doesn't help, Hanjiacang can't be blown up, and Wu Youjue's plan will come to nothing.There is no subsequent series of things.

But no matter what Li Beiqi chooses to do or how he does it, he is very dangerous.Because Wu You will kill and silence.

Sad to say.At the beginning, Wu Youjue picked up Li Beiqi from the side of the road, raised him so much, and brought him up to the position of Lord Beidou, was it just for the day when Hanjiacang was bombed?

In Wu Youjue's plan, Li Beiqi is a pawn, Baili Kuanren is a pawn, and even his sister Wu Siyue is a pawn.It's just that this chess piece is special, and it can only be used and not discarded.

Li Beiqi didn't realize that Wu Youjue was a person of Spring and Autumn Dao until Wu Youjue let him blow up Han Jiacang.

Wu Youjue said: "You are not allowed to ask, but you want to ask. Then I will tell you, I am not Chunqiu Dao, Chunqiu Dao is only for my use."

"The grain in Hanjiacang will be burned, and the gods will be in chaos. At that time, Lianfang will be handed over to me, and the prince will be punished. And I will be the one who destroys the Spring and Autumn Dao, captures the Spring Envoy alive, finds the food, and saves the gods. !"

See, everything is calculated.Wu Youjue coaxed Baili Kuanren to pave the way for him to ascend the throne with the whole Spring and Autumn Dao, and even his own life.

Li Beiqi, who had been indoctrinated with internal guard training since he was a child, was already frightened and dumbfounded, "What do you want to do, Feng Yulang? Do you want to kill them all? You want to be emperor? Feng Yulang won't do that. It's impossible. impossible……"

After Li Beiqi's death, looking back at his words and deeds will add more pain and regret.

Wu Siyue was even more grieved.

"If you want to replace a saint, the most convenient way is to force the crown prince to give way to you. Princess Yongchuan is in your hands, right? With the crown prince's character, he will definitely compromise. Your plan is flawless."

"Yes, that's my plan. And we'll see tomorrow."

This is inexplicable. "The prince is incompetent", the four characters have been deeply engraved in the mind of the sage.Now the prince is under house arrest forever, and he is only half a step away from the abolition of the prince.Wu Youjue, what are you forcing the prince to do at this time?Wouldn't it be superfluous?

How dare you detain Princess Yongchuan?Are you not afraid of being discovered?If the crown prince sued him in front of the sage, wouldn't Wu You's previous efforts be wasted, and decades of hard work would be ruined?

If you want to persecute the prince, it is not too late to get rid of the saint tomorrow and then persecute him!

As a result, I revealed all my cards today.As a result, his younger sister Wu Siyue said: "I will definitely stop you. No matter what method I use, I will stop you."

Wu Youjue sternly said: "How are you going to stop me? Are you looking for Gao Bingzhu and Baili Hongyi? Tell you, they are all under my surveillance, and I know their every move like the back of my hand."

Wu Siyue drew her sword to face each other, but she couldn't stop Wu Youjue.Wu You decided to leave the order of Furong Peony.

Gong Yan and others pretended to be inner guards and entered the inner guard mansion.

Wu Youjue: "Send someone to watch Baili Hongyi and Gao Bingzhu. If they make any changes, kill them."

They didn't move.The one who moved was Bailang.Bailang ran errands back and forth to send messages, and even made a fake lotus peony order.

Wu You is determined to be quick-witted, and the piece Wu Siyue gave him is real.

the next day.The sage arrived in Nanshi.The warehouse opening ceremony was held as scheduled.The people roared with joy.They are just so easy to please.After suffering so much, even starving to death, as soon as there was food, he immediately regained his energy.

It is said that "officials force the people to rebel", but in fact they have not been pushed to the limit. People who are used to enduring and enduring suffering will not rebel.When they turn back, it proves that they really can't find a way out, and they can't see any hope.

Perhaps Wu Youjue hid in the cloth dyeing workshop to avoid the explosion.Coincidentally, Gao Bingzhu is also here.

Gao Bingzhu: "Shouldn't Feng Yulang be by Saint's side at this time?"

should not.Should be blown up next to a saint.

Wu Youjue: "You know my body. But you, why are you here? Shouldn't you take the guardian food?"

"Don't look at it. The explosion you planned so hard will never happen." Gao Bingzhu said.

Wu Youjue shouted hoarsely, "You did it, you did it!"

Gao Bingzhu: "I have to say, you hide deep enough. You planned all the conspiracies, but you chose to clean up yourself. All those who might betray your plan will either be silenced by you or subdued by you .”

"I have always suspected that Chunqiu Dao has a deep-seated accomplice. I didn't pay attention to you until after the Hanjiacang incident. The people of Chunqiu Dao led us to the Longguan Gate just to make a fool of ourselves. It is the true purpose of the Spring and Autumn Dao. So far, Baili Kuanren, who controls the Spring and Autumn Dao, has surfaced."

"Destroying the food in the capital of God and watching the capital of God's death will not benefit Baili Kuanren at all. Just relying on a group of hungry people to rebel is really hitting a stone with an egg. So this is definitely not his ultimate goal."

"After Hanjiacang, the crown prince lost power, Lian Fang fell to the side, and the situation was chaotic, but it was you who reaped fame and fortune."

Wu Youjue: "Your analysis is good. But even if you know all this, you still can't be sure it's me."

Gao Bingzhu: "Listen to me telling you slowly. As soon as King Dongchuan was assassinated, you took over Lianfang. At that time, I began to doubt you. As soon as you came to Lianfang, King Dongchuan was assassinated, Han Jiacang There are no clues about the explosion."

"In addition, you exposed a flaw. When the Hanjiacang exploded, your intelligence came faster than Lianfang. We are in the open, and you are in the dark. You will always be one step ahead of us."

"It wasn't until Baili Kuanren was captured by you that I was sure that there must be something wrong with you."

"Siyue once heard a word from Xiaoyaozi that the phoenix returned to Tibet and poured out of the world. Five years ago, Xiaoyaozi was betrayed and captured by the court; and then the two envoys of the Spring and Autumn Period, one was used and killed, and the other deliberately went to death. Then, Who is Gui Zangfeng?"

Ah, it turns out that Xiaoyaozi was captured alive and Xiaoyaozi's lineage was cut off, which is also related to Wu Youjue.In this way, Baili Kuanren can secretly control the entire Spring and Autumn Dao.

However, Song Liang was clearly the one who wiped out Chunqiu Dao and captured Xiaoyaozi alive five years ago!Song Liang obeyed Zhangqiu's envoy.Baili Kuanren once satirized Zhang Qiu's emissary to deceive his master and destroy his ancestors.Could it be that the Zhangqiu envoy was used as a spear envoy?

"How could the Spring and Autumn Dao be destroyed so easily? Unless its destruction is also planned. I know the power of Fuhuo Leiting. The explosion of Hanjiacang this time does not need so many Fuhuo Leiting. Chunqiu The Daoists were arrested, and the food was recovered, but the remaining Fu Huo Lei Ting could not be found. Because Fu Huo Lei Ting is in your hands."

"The sage came in person, and there is nothing more important than opening a storehouse to release grain. But you entrusted me with the most critical task of protecting the grain. From that moment on, I knew that in your plan, I was already a dead man gone."

"Weeds are all over the wild, open fire burns them." Hearing this, Wu Youjue turned his head and looked at Gao Bingzhu.

Gao Bingzhu continued: "You want to be emperor, but just assassinating saints is not enough, so you wrote, directed and acted a good show, first wiped out Chunqiu Dao, an organization you personally supported, and then assassinated Dongchuan King, plant the crown prince to hoard food, and make you the most trusted person of the sage."

"You have pacified the country, recovered food, won the hearts of the people, and now you are in charge of Lianfang and the internal guards, and also control the military power. You can finally stand up without any scruples, Anshendu saves the people, and is admired by all people. Let everyone think that you Wu Youjue is the only savior. Am I right?"

Wu Youjue: "You have been under my surveillance all the time, how did you sabotage my plan?"

Because Jia Le has one more hand, and Bai Lang has two more legs.These two people, whom Wu Youjue never expected, closely linked Baili Hongyi, Gao Bingzhu, and Wu Siyue together under Wu Youjue's surveillance and house arrest.

Gao Bingzhu asked Baili Hongyi to forge a hibiscus peony token through Bailang. Holding the fake token, Bailang rescued Wu Siyue from the Neiwei Mansion.Then he brought the four guards of the "Fenghuaxueyue" princess mansion down a bad well.

Baili Hongyi didn't go to the bad well. He, a person who has nothing to do with the bad well, suddenly went to the bad well, which would attract Lian Fang's attention.

Gao Bingzhu didn't do bad things again, he had official duties.Leaving in the middle will cause alarm.

Bailang first found Uncle Chou and persuaded him.Uncle Ugly moved him with reason and affection, and Bai Lang lured him with profit, and with the presence of guards from the princess' mansion, the people from Bad Well soon agreed to help.

When they arrived in Nanshi, Wu Siyue, who was rescued from house arrest, opened the way with a fake hibiscus peony order.In this way, the fire and thunder in Nanshi could not be blown up.

Wu Youjue: "Gao Bingzhu, you are too naive. Even if you guessed all the plans, so what, you have nothing to prove, no proof. Who would believe you? Who would believe a lowly and bad person who killed his brother!"

"Don't forget, the granary in Nanshi is guarded by you; the fire and thunder in Nanshi are the ones that you arranged for bad people to place all over Nanshi! You are the one who wants to murder the saint! The open fire has already been lit today, and you are alone How can I stop it!"

Gao Bingzhu: "Who said I was the only one? All the innocent souls of Shendu are watching you! Only by rectifying you can they rest in peace. What did the innocent people of Shendu do wrong to become the victim of your conspiracy? ! To be the ladder of flesh and blood for you to step on the dragon chair!"

"You said that we are weeds, you are wrong! We are human beings who want to live well in this world! You want to destroy the gods for your own selfishness. Have you ever asked the wishes of the people of God's capital!"

After a while, Wu Siyue arrived with her inner guards, holding the Furong Peony Order, "Decree of the Saint: Collude with the Spring and Autumn Tao, murder the Saint, arrest the traitor, Wu Youjue."

No, the saint made a decree so soon?Is there any evidence?Is this a crime?

Poor Wu Youjue planned for half his life, but in a blink of an eye the tree fell and the monkeys scattered, and even the inner guards he had been in charge of for more than ten years didn't listen to him, and surrounded him.

And his sister Wu Siyue, why is she so majestic and righteous?This is the elder brother who put his life on the line for you!

Even if you want to arrest him, can't you change your face and your rhetoric?Is this a "rebel"?

Sure enough, Wu Youjue was heartbroken, "Ah Yue! Wu Siyue—do you think you can subdue me like this?"

Wu Siyue spoke righteously, "The Spring and Autumn Dao assassins lurking in the outskirts of Nanshi have all been captured and subdued by the imperial army. Brother, stop."

No, the killers of Chunqiu Dao have engraved words on their faces, how do you know whether they are killers or the killers of Chunqiu Dao?Also, why did the Spring and Autumn Dao killer come to Nanshi?Wouldn't it be good for them to wait for the explosion at a distance?Is this intended to kill the saint without blowing up, and then make up for it with a knife?

It is true that the Spring and Autumn Dao has tossed the court for several years. Once it is destroyed, it will be really easy.Back then, Baili Hongyi had to use Baili Hongyi's life to catch a killer; now, as soon as the forbidden army came out, they were all captured?Forbidden Army, you are so capable, why did you go early?You have to wait till the end to show that you are a big name, right?

Still stop, does your brother have anything to do?What else can you do if you don't stop?They are all surrounded by the inner guards you brought.

However, the surrounded inner guards, facing each other, didn't see the person sneaking up on the opposite wall.Liu Juro.

Wu Youjue was heartbroken: "I have been having a nightmare all these years, that is, dreaming that you personally brought people to arrest me. We became enemies."

Wu Siyue: "Brother, I will accompany you to confess your crime before the saint. No matter what the result is, I am willing to bear it with you..."

Wu Youjue: "You are so naive! She won't let me go. And this matter has nothing to do with you!" At this last moment, Wu Youjue still wanted to protect his sister so that she would not be involved.

Wu Siyue, "Don't make any more mistakes! If you make any more mistakes, you really won't be able to turn back."

Wu Youjue was right.Wu Siyue is too naive.I don't know if it's true or not.What can go wrong.Don't make any more mistakes, he has no way out now.Unless you go wrong again.The question is, does he still have the ability to "make mistakes" at this moment?

Wu Youjue smiled as he looked at the younger sister he had raised since childhood.

Liu Shilang was holding a gun, trembling, trembling, shaking badly, but even so, not only did the inner guard not see him face to face, but he was able to shoot precisely at Wu Youjue.

By the way, when did you learn archery, Liu Juro?

Wu Siyue pushed Wu Youjue aside, and took the arrow by herself.

But the surrounding inner guards behaved very strangely, your Yuehua Jun was shot by an arrow, why are you all gesturing at her with knives?Shouldn't one hire medical workers alone, some strengthen protection, and some rush to chase the murderer?

Wu Siyue was also very strange, with an arrow in her heart, why didn't she feel any pain at all?What do you mean with a satisfied smile on your face?Sudden enlightenment?

Wu Youjue watched helplessly as his most beloved sister died in front of him. "The weeds are wild, and the open flames burn them." Now, that inconspicuous weed, the weeds he wanted to burn with open flames, actually killed his only relative in this world, the person he valued most in this world.

Later, hearing that Liu Shilang had not been convicted, the sage ordered him to become a monk to reflect on his mistakes.

Jia Le smiled and said: "Wu You is sure to die. He is a crime of treason, and he wants to implicate the nine clans. How will Wu Siyue deal with it? Let's deal with it according to the law. Wu Siyue personally arrested her brother ; Don't follow the law, the saint may not believe that she follows her brother every day and knows nothing about her brother."

"The sage just had a hard time making a choice, and suddenly Liu Shilang appeared, who just happened to help the sage make a decision. Therefore, the sage didn't kill him, but let him live."

Nongyue: "Princess, I heard that Liu Shilang followed his grandfather up the mountain to clean up and pray for Lord Yuehua."

Jia Le raised his eyebrows slightly, "Stop him."

Nongyue hurriedly said: "Princess, are you going to expose his Chunqiu Daoist identity?"

Jia Le: "He's just a young man, he can't make big waves. I don't care about such trivial matters, but let him choose a husband for Qiniang before leaving, it's serious."

ten days later.

The gods have returned to their original calm, or lively.

There are people coming and going on the street, there are nobles, commoners, and children who saw the bustling bad well in the capital of God for the first time.

They laughed so happily that Gao Bingzhu, who was watching all this from a distance, also showed a smile on his face.

"The bad well saved the capital of God, thanks to the country. From now on, the commander will move it away from the bad well. It will be properly placed in the Shendu square."

Gao Bingzhu's dream for many years finally came true.

Taking the reward money from Jia Le, Bai Lang went to a restaurant to eat some fat belly balls.

"Grandpa, Grandma, I've eaten the water table in Shendu." Bailang held the empty bowl and said to the sky, "Top grade. Wonderful."

Shen Fei, who was sitting across from him, glanced at him, "Promising. Is this the top grade? Our Erlang didn't comment on this restaurant. When our Erlang and the princess get married soon, I'm sure you will eat better than this."

Bailang touched his belly that was about to burst, "Hey, I'm waiting for something delicious."

"The remnants of the Spring and Autumn Daoism will be thoroughly investigated by the Dali Temple. Pei Jian, the pavilion chief of the Dali Temple, will be promoted to the Shaoqing of the Dali Temple to take charge of the case."

"After investigation, the prince has nothing to do with the Spring and Autumn Dao. He was released from confinement and returned to freedom. King Wu of Jin acted cautiously, committed dereliction of duty, seized the title and demoted officials, and thought about his mistakes behind closed doors. The rebellious minister Wu You was determined to seek rebellion. My younger sister Wu Siyue died loyally and bravely for the country, so she was spared from death, like a prison of internal guards, who will never be released."

Jia Le smiled and said, "Pei Jian should have been promoted a long time ago. Dali Temple is rare for someone who understands and understands the common people. It's rare."

Lianfang Headquarters.Solemn and solemn, orderly.

King Dongchuan walked in slowly.

An Baitan: "I heard that Wu Youjue has gone crazy, thinking he has become a saint."

King Dongchuan: "It's a pity that Lord Yuehua..."

An Baitan picked up the mask, "Lang Jun, this mask..."

King Dongchuan: "My identity has long been made known to the world, and there is no need for this mask to exist. However, it is not a bad thing to manage the capital of God through the eyes of King Dongchuan."

Lianfang knelt down and saluted, "Wanta, the capital of gods, is Lianfang Xingluo."

Lian Fang is back again.

"Today, Baili Hongyi is smart and courageous, and the patron saint has made meritorious service. He is appointed as the minister of the Ministry of Industry and bestowed as Marquis of Changqing." Yang Huan read the imperial decree.

"Princess, isn't Junma the deacon of Lianfang? Why did the saint appoint the minister of the Ministry of Industry again?"

"The deacon of Lianfang is dark, and the minister of the Ministry of Industry is bright. The saint only knows the son Chu, but not the other people in Lianfang. Let's see how Baili Hongyi chooses. It is not impossible for one person to hold two positions."

Nanshi, the city of gods.Especially beautiful at night.

There are singers playing the piano and dancers dancing on the boat, just like Yuwen Peipei at the beginning; the two sides of the strait are full of people and brightly lit.It was really lively.

"Qingye looks different." Baili Hongyi walked up the bridge slowly, followed Gao Bingzhu's line of sight, and saw Qingye, who was once the killer of Spring and Autumn Dao, who was laughing in the crowd.

"They were originally children of ordinary people," Gao Bingzhu said, "and they went the wrong way because they were bewitched."

"They are also lucky," Baili Hongyi said, "God is a place that embraces all rivers and rivers, and will give them a chance to reform themselves."

"I heard that you are getting married?" Gao Bingzhu said suddenly.

"Yes," Baili Hongyi said, "I'm really going to get married this time. I plan to resign after getting married, and take Jiale to her county to have a look. By the way, go out for a walk."

"Which official position?"

"Ministry Minister."

"Yes, Lianfang suits your temperament. When will you come back?"

"At least three months, at most half a year. If you are bored yourself, you can come with us."

"I won't go," Gao Bingzhu said, "Enjoy yourself."

Baili Hongyi: "You are all by yourself, it's okay to go out with us for a walk."

Gao Bingzhu smiled and pointed to the distance: "Look. What do you see?"

"The gods are prosperous, and the world is peaceful and prosperous." Baili Hongyi said.

"What I see is that in this city of gods, there are nobles, ordinary people, and bad people. Among these people, there may be Ah Tan. I will continue to search. Such a city of gods is very good."

"All of this is hard-won. This kind of peace is what Siyue most wants to protect, so I can't leave for a moment. I want to protect this god city for her."

Baili Hongyi smiled and said: "It's true. You are the pillar of the inner guard now, and the inner guard will never be without you. When I come back, I will help you guard this divine capital."

Gao Bingzhu smiled and said, "Okay."

Baili Hongyi said goodbye and left.

Gao Bingzhu stood alone on the bridge.

He stared at the distant lights.Under the cover of the lantern, he seemed to see that person, that face.

After staring for a long time, he turned around abruptly.

A tear fell into the river.
