Offer a tripod

Chapter 123 The Truth

Before half April, border wars began.A team of 500 soldiers from the Western Wei Dynasty traveled dangerous roads and climbed from the bottom of the lonely cliff to surprise Dayan's team transporting grain and grass supplies.After hearing the news, the general of Qimen Gate personally led [-] troops to fight.Unexpectedly, this is a plan to draw salary from the bottom of the pot.At that time, the ice and snow in northern Xinjiang had not disappeared, and the cold wind was biting. The army of the Western Wei Dynasty was not afraid of the cold, and dived into the water.As soon as he left, someone rushed into the camp.The Yan army was in a difficult situation and fell into a hard fight.Quli was only [-] miles away from Qishui Pass. When Wei Jun broke through the pass, the beacon tower was full of smoke, and no one came out of the city to rescue him.In one day, the entire army was wiped out, and Qimenguan also fell into the hands of the Wei army. Since then, Dayan lost the barrier of Wuyin, an important town in the southwest.

Chu Shao acted wisely, when the bad news came, he even ordered [-] garrisons to rush to help, and finally defended the passes such as Leyang and Anzhou, preventing them from connecting one after another, forming a horn of horns.It's just that on the day when the army came down, a person released a silver arrow with a whistle on the high cliff of Qianren.Amidst the whistling wind, flying stars came through the light, and the arrows passed by. The big flag of the Shenwu Army ignited a fire, and the flagpole with a thick bowl mouth fell to the ground.A white-feathered goshawk circled several times in the air, facing the flames and threw down the head of Cao Wei, the general guarding the gate of Qimen. After a whistle, it disappeared into the clouds, and there was no trace of the person on the cliff.

The silver arrow was nailed to the flagpole, and the three of them worked together to pull it out. Chu Shao took it over and saw a small word engraved on the arrow shaft: Qin.Needless to say, it must be Qin Yanfeng, General Longju of the Western Wei Dynasty, who was the mastermind behind the surprise attack.After this person became a general, his father Qin was the general of the Western Wei Dynasty. When he fought Dayan in his early years, he was beheaded by General Shenwu.This time he took the initiative to ask for Ying, and wanted to avenge the enemies of the country and the family one by one. This arrow was an arrow to declare war with the Shenwu Army, and a bloody battle was imminent.

Although Chu Shao is young, he acts steadily.In order to avoid an ambush ahead, he ordered the army to move slowly, and sent people to explore the road without mentioning it. When they arrived at the city of Quchang, they immediately dispatched troops and generals to guard the four passes like iron barrels. In this regard, it was in a confrontation with the Western Wei army.

Just when the war was getting tense, there was another commotion on Heqi's side.Wushitu saw that the retainers he sent had not returned for a long time, and there was no news, so he didn't know what tricks his younger brother was up to.The current situation is not the same as before. If he made some mistakes, the whole tribe would not be able to afford to settle the matter afterward.Immediately, he took five hundred guards into Quli and asked what happened.As soon as the clinker soldiers and horses stepped into the city gate, they were detained.Wushitu was also placed under house arrest.

The two brothers had a big quarrel in the Quli Palace. Someone heard a few words, Wushitu scolded his younger brother for being "outrageous, ghosts have captivated his mind", and when he was in a hurry, he actually started fighting with him.

Once Wu Shan changed his previous fear of his elder brother, his face was brightened, and he refused to let go.Opposing people to confiscate the king's seal of the elder brother means that if things fail, they will do the opposite.General Heqi sent an urgent letter to Beijing, begging Dayan to help him rescue Wushitu.

This matter made the situation worse in today's war. When the news came, Chu Yu was furious, but also a little surprised. In the past, he only regarded Wu Shan as a child, but he never imagined that he would have such courage.Now that Dayan was going to fight against the Western Wei Dynasty with all his strength, he had no time to take care of the dispute between his brothers. He thought he had planned it early in the morning.

It's just that Chu Yu vaguely felt that his intention was not here.The fire in the First Moon Palace was known all over the country, and he had an extraordinary personal relationship with Yuan Jing, so naturally he couldn't sit still when he heard the bad news.Therefore, there are still unknowns when things happen.

Yuan Jing was unaware of his friend's daring deeds, since he dared to go out, his temperament became more and more lively, not much worse than when he was a child.Once, seeing the interesting pattern on Chu Yu's token, he just took it off and played all night. The next day when Chu Yu came to ask for it, he didn't know where to throw it.Chu Yu just trained him a few words, then frightened him again, and hid in the house for several days without coming out.Chu Yu couldn't screw him, and after a day of airing, he finally condescended and came to coax this little ancestor with a good voice.As for the token, it's fine for someone to remake it, so I won't mention it here.

There is no curfew in Beijing tonight. Although it is late, the lights are lit up.When Chu Yu raised his head, he saw Yuan Jing coming out from inside. He was wearing a light yellow spring fir suit today, and the lines were submissive, clearly outlining his handsome body.Under the glazed forehead, her face was beautiful and clean, her eyes were as black as ink, and when she blinked, she could faintly see waves flowing, like stars falling into them.

Although he was dressed like a young son from a wealthy family, he still attracted a lot of attention when he left the imperial city.It's a pity that there is a tall and mighty bodyguard standing next to the young master. Although he has a smile on his face, he has a majestic demeanor, and he can tell at a glance that he is not easy to provoke.Therefore, although there are people from the world who want to make friends with the young master, they all kill their thoughts in their stomachs.

It has been more than a year since the two last traveled together.Although today is not a festival, the night market is still very lively.Seeing the hidden smile on his face, Chu Yu was willing to let him run around alone at first, but when he reached Zhuque Street, there were crowds of people, and he didn't notice Yuan Jing disappeared into the crowd.Fortunately, he is stupid now and doesn't know how to run around.When he couldn't see Chu Yu, he obediently stood still.When Chu Yu found him, he saw him standing there, wiping his face with his sleeves, wondering if he was being slighted.Now she dared not let go of him, she held him all the way, and never let him leave her.

Wandering until the Mid-Autumn Festival, Yuan Jing's eyes stopped for a moment in front of the stall where the two bought lantern bracelets.Chu Yu made a gesture, and the guards who followed far behind stepped forward to buy the largest and brightest lantern on the stall.Holding it in his hand, Yuan Jing didn't look very happy. He walked for a while and said sullenly, "I don't want to go shopping anymore."

Seeing that his expression was not right, Chu Yu asked with concern, "What's wrong?" Yuan Jing just held his hand, without saying a word, and when he got to the beautiful painting boat and everyone retreated, he turned his face Sitting on the side of the boat, Yu Yu lifted the hem of her skirt and shook the anklet on her foot. After a while, she said softly, "Someone saw me wearing this just now."

Along the way, only Xianbei servants who were kneeling in the market for sale wore fetters. It was really strange that he was a young man dressed in brocade clothes, but he was dressed like a slave.Chu Yu didn't need to ask too much, he also knew the expressions of others when they saw it, so he stroked his hair reassuringly: "Leave them alone."

These words obviously failed to comfort Yuan Jing, he took off his shoes to the side, and used his little toes to push open Chu Yu's trousers, seeing that his ankles were empty, he asked in a daze, "Why am I the only one wearing these?"

Chu Yu was silent for a while, took him into his arms, and said softly: "Because you are disobedient, with this, you can't run away."

Yuan Jing buried his face in his chest unhappily, and after a long time, a muffled voice came: "If I am obedient, can I take it off?" Chu Yu lowered his head and kissed him on top of his hair, but there was nothing. talk.

Suddenly there was a loud noise on the bank of the river, Yuan Jing was taken aback, looked up, and saw the sky was colorful, thousands of flowers blooming, actually countless fireworks rose into the sky, silver light chasing stars, white smoke billowing, The world where they are is brightly lit.When the four fields are silent, the embers fall like fireflies, just like the dancing stars.

When the last bit of fluorescent light dissipated, Yuan Jing closed his eyes.Chu Yu hugged him and sat on his body, and whispered: "I asked someone to prepare it before I left last year. I planned to show it to you on your birthday this year. Do you like it?"

Yuan Jing lowered his eyelashes, looked at the silently surging water in the dark night, and murmured: "I like it."

However, his expression was languid, as if he couldn't lift his spirits.Chu Yu squeezed his chin and chuckled lightly: "You don't look like you like it, are you having fun today?"

Yuan Jing shook his head and touched his shoulder: "It hurts here."

Chu Yu was startled, and then he smelled heavy humidity in the air—the rainy season is coming soon.Whenever the weather was about to change, the old injury on his shoulder was in severe pain, and the imperial doctors came many times, but there was nothing good to do.Chu Yu placed his generous palms on his shoulders, noticing that he was trembling unconsciously, and didn't know what to say for a moment.

As soon as the pain was finished, Yuan Jing didn't do anything to irritate his temper. He took out a ribbon from nowhere and gestured at Chu Yu's ankle.Chu Yu said: "What are you playing again?"

Yuan Jing said in a nasal voice, "I'll tie you up too, so you won't run away."

This sentence is full of childishness. Chu Yu couldn't tell whether he was acting like a baby or was confused again. He hugged him tighter and said with a smile: "Where can I go when you are here? Find a way to come back and find you."

Yuan Jing let out a "hmm", but his hand playing with the ribbon was not idle, and his eyes looked at his ankle, as if he did not give up.Chu Yu looked at him for a while, then smiled and said, "Take you in and do...things that make you comfortable, okay?"

Yuan Jing asked in a daze, "What's so comfortable?" He pinched his waist, and then lowered his little head: "It's not that comfortable."

Chu Yu has gotten along with Yuan Jinghuan a few times these days, and each time they come as he likes. He was startled when he heard this, and suspected that the little villain did it on purpose, so he tickled him a few times and asked, "Isn't it comfortable? Then Why were you biting me that night?" Yuan Jing chased him away impatiently, not wanting to talk to him.Chu Yu didn't take it seriously, wrapped him in a cloak, thought about it, thought about military affairs, and let him play around by himself.Yuan Jing fiddled with it a few times, but there was no movement.Open your palms, and go with the wind with the ribbon.Chu Yu said casually: "Don't play anymore?"

Yuan Jing leaned wearily on his shoulder: "You're about to run away, I'll just go find you. This..." He shook the shackles on his feet: "It's hard."

The last few words were spoken softly and slowly. When Chu Yu lowered his head, he saw that his eyes were closed, as if he had fallen asleep.Chu Yu sighed inaudibly, and untied the chain tied around his wrist.After being tied for a long time, red marks were drawn on his clean wrists.Chu Yu caressed him a few times, hesitated for a long time, moved his fingertips, but just hugged him in.

In the early morning of the next day, an urgent confidential report was sent to the painting boat.A detective found out that the Lord Wei saw that Wu Shan, the king of Quli, was vacillating, so he sent his confidants to Quli to negotiate.King Quli welcomed his envoys into the city, although he didn't know the content of their conversation, but Wu Shan's rebellion was indeed confirmed.

Under the secret report, there is a petition for life written by the seventeen veteran generals of Heqi and the guards of the Shenwu Army. The conquest of Quli is imminent, and the regent will only have to press the tiger sign, and the army will be suppressed and the traitor will be killed. unbelievers.

Wushitu had been imprisoned for nearly half a month, and there was no news from him. It is understandable that the Heqi generals were anxious, but as soon as this military order came out, it would completely push Wushan to the camp of the Western Wei people.Chu Yu always felt that something was wrong and refused to agree.When I returned to Yanfu Hall at night, I saw Yuan Jing lying on the small couch playing with an arm crossbow, and pinched his face casually: "That good friend of yours is about to rebel, you still have time to spare." Jing raised his arm impatiently, aiming at his direction all at once. A crossbow without a bow and arrow would naturally not hurt anyone, but Chu Yu still got a little annoyed by him, pulled him over, and bullied him fiercely in his arms. After a while, Yuan Jing was having fun and was extremely unwilling to make out with him. Chu Yu slapped him on the palm of his hand and said fiercely: "If you don't obey me again, I'll use you to frighten him!"

But three days later, when the news came that the 20 troops of the Western Wei Dynasty were going to head towards Yantu, he couldn't help hesitating any longer.

Early this morning, he hastily wrote down the documents for conquering Quli, and sent them out as soon as they were stamped with the seal.But at this time, a royal guard walked in, holding something in both hands, and said respectfully: "My lord, there are a few people outside who say they are Quli's envoys, and they want to see you, so I will send you a gift." This token."

Fang Qing went up to pick it up, and when he saw it, something was wrong on his face.Seeing that he was delayed coming, Chu Yu said casually, "What's the matter?" Fang Qing held the token tightly and walked in front of him.Chu Yu saw that his expression was different, and frowned and said, "I'm asking you something." His eyes fell on his hands, his heart tightened for no reason, and he said in a deep voice, "Take it out!"

Fang Qing stretched out his hand, and in his palm lay the token that was lost by Yuan Jing before. Chu Yu looked at it for a moment, and some trivial things that he hadn't noticed before suddenly connected together like a spider's web, and a guess came to his mind It was just so chilling that he couldn't believe it for a while.

Chu Yu looked outside the door and said, "Tell them to come in."

After a while, several familiar figures walked in one after another.One of them was Wu Shan, the Quli King who defied the world.He was full of wind and dust all the way, his trousers were covered with mud, only the white jade moon mulberry flower on his chest was as clear as ever.He looked at Chu Yu for a moment, and asked, "Where is Xiao Jiu?"

Chu Yu smashed the Chinese book in his hand at his feet, and said indifferently: "You have the guts to dare to come here alone." His anger was extraordinary, and the short and fat man standing behind Wu Shan The old woman trembled with fear.The woman next to her with a veil covering her face supported her and said something softly.

Wu Shan said: "You don't need to scare me. Ever since I received Xiao Jiu's first letter, I have put life and death aside. I am here this time to tell you something." He took a step back and stood beside him. The guard in the black clothes let him out: "This man used to be Ran Chi's personal guard. When you broke through Yulin Pass, he was scattered by Wang Shi and fled to Quli. Xiao Jiu asked me to investigate some things. After several searches, I found him." He nodded at this person: "Go, tell him what you know."

The man respectfully said: "Yes." He took a step forward and explained clearly how to coax the sixth prince to occupy Yulin Pass after Dang Yuanxi was rescued by the sixth prince, and how to coax the sixth prince to occupy Yulin Pass. Yuan Xi's explanation is not bad.Chu Yu's expression remained unchanged, but his fists were clenched unconsciously.

The man said: "Yuan Xi told Your Highness that you are arrogant, and you have long hidden your disobedience. Now that you have had a rift with your emperor, it will be difficult to let it go. In addition, there are changes in the palace. As long as he does a little trick, you will be able to get rid of it." It can arouse your old hatred and make you turn against each other. After you have committed a great treason, Yuan Xi borrowed troops from the Wei Dynasty in the name of "rescue him". So he gave the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun to His Highness the Sixth Highness, and he would pay tribute every year to make Yan Wei an eternal good. He said to His Highness, no matter how hard His Highness spends his time, he will not be able to catch up with this kind of immortality. His Royal Highness Shi Liu's position as the crown prince is within easy reach."

Chu Yu's voice was extremely low: "What plan?"

The man said: "He wants to use His Majesty's hand to assassinate you."

There was no sound in the room, and the atmosphere was terrifyingly silent.Chu Yu said lightly: "You said he has an internal response in the palace, who is the internal response?"

The man wondered: "This villain doesn't know."

A smile floated on Chu Yu's face, he nodded and said: "Your story is not bad, and the inside story is indeed consistent with the facts." His eyes fell on Wu Shan: "It's hard for you to check for him. So clear."

Wu Shan couldn't help laughing: "Do you think this is someone I colluded with to lie to you?" Looking at Chu Yu's indifferent face, he gritted his teeth and said, "Yes, you never really believed in Xiao Jiu in your heart, so even if the truth lies in In front of you, you also don't want to believe it. I really don't deserve Xiaojiu! For someone like you, I would even give it to someone else's child."

Chu Yu's eyes moved, and he said indifferently: "What do you mean?"

The woman in plain clothes standing behind him came forward slowly, took off her veil, revealing an overly pale and thin face, she bowed politely: "I am from the Yang family, and I have seen the prince. "

Ever since Chu Yu first saw her, she felt familiar, and when he said this, he immediately remembered—she was Mrs. Zhaorong.The sourness in her heart spread without warning: in those days, Jing Er just spent time with her and talked with her every night.She used to act coquettishly to herself, hugging herself and saying "I just like you", maybe she has seen it too, and they had a child.

Thinking of this, his face became more and more gloomy.Mrs. Zhaorong seemed to have guessed what he was thinking, she gave a miserable smile, and said: "I don't have the face to go back to this palace, but now Your Majesty is having a hard time, and there are some things that I have to say. The prince , Your Majesty has never fallen in love with me, the child is not his."

The veins on the back of Chu Yu's hand twitched violently, and his expression was terrifying: "What did you say?"

Mrs. Zhaorong said in a low voice: "Your Majesty misses you wholeheartedly. Even if you left him and went to the frontier, he never gave us a single thought. It's lonely in the deep palace. The ministers and concubines were confused for a while and did something immoral. As a result, the fetus has dark knots." She stroked her lower abdomen, and couldn't help but shed tears: "After His Majesty found out, he never blamed the concubine, and even asked the medical bureau to change the medical record of the concubine, and only said to the outside world, The child is his."

Chu Yu clenched his fists tightly, his body trembling slightly: "Really? Why did he do this?"

Mrs. Zhaorong raised her head, her voice was like tears: "Your Majesty told my concubine that the general wants to be with him forever. He left this child to be a one-hearted person for you."

Chu Yu tried his best to maintain calm, and a voice in his heart comforted himself: "Impossible! These are all nonsense made up by them." But another voice popped up: "What if it is true? What if it is like theirs? As I said, Jing Er never betrayed me from the beginning to the end..." He suddenly didn't have the courage to think deeply, Yuan Jing was thinking in the center of the palace, but he was waiting for the mood when he entered the palace.

Wu Shan said coldly: "Why are you silent? Is it because you can't believe it, or because you don't want to believe it? Your people didn't tell you that when they found Mrs. Zhaorong, the child was almost full-term?"

Chu Yu's mind exploded like a thunderbolt, and he suddenly remembered that when he traced Mrs. Zhaorong's whereabouts that day, the shadow guards told him that she had given birth to a child, and the mother and child were safe.If this child was really born right after he left, it would only be six months old, and he would definitely not be able to survive well.It's just that he was dazzled by anger at that time, and he didn't think about it at all.

As if to confirm his words, the woman standing next to Mrs. Zhaorong said: "My lord, it was a civilian woman who delivered the baby for your empress that day. Although the little prince was born prematurely, he was eight months old when he landed."

Chu Yu trembled violently, even his breath was in a mess.Wu Shan couldn't hold back the anger in his heart anymore, pointed at him and cursed: "Yuan Xi is right! You have been using Xiao Jiu all along! You can find out all these things, but you can't wait to believe him I want to kill you! Then take the opportunity to seize his power and imprison him! If you have the slightest sincerity towards him, you will not abuse him like this! Xiao Jiu is really blind, he would actually like someone like you! Now you Sitting in the world, even he has to obey you obediently, are you satisfied?"

After a long time, Chu Yu spoke, his voice was extremely difficult: "... Is that child still alive?"

Mrs. Zhaorong cried softly, and Chu Yu closed her eyes: "I see."

The corner of Wu Shan's mouth was raised, revealing a sneering smile: "Are you going to be sad too? He recognized that child for you. It is both his and yours. Originally, you could have stayed with Xiaojiu and raised that child together. When the child grows up, he will only love you all his life, and now it's impossible. It's you! You killed your child with your own hands!"

Chu Yu's eyes were blood red, and the blood in his chest was surging, and the pain was uncontrollable. He hissed, "Stop talking."

Wu Shan's chest heaved violently, and it took him a long time to calm down: "Now that you know everything, what are you going to do?" Chu Yu remained silent for a long time.Wu Shan sneered and said: "Xiao Jiu's prediction is right, you are already choosing the candidate for the heir to be adopted by him. Naturally, you will not stop here. But since you know the truth, you still want to lock him up in this building like a dog." In the cage, let him be sick for a lifetime?"

Chu Yu paused, and looked up: "What do you want?"

Wu Shan said without hesitation: "I want to take him away!"

Chu Yu's eyes flashed with murderous intent for a moment: "What if I don't agree?"

Wu Shandao: "He didn't mention the suffering he suffered in his letter, but every word and every sentence seemed to be written in blood. Even I could see that he was almost unable to hold on. If you let him go, he can still live If you insist on keeping him, he will die." He took a step forward and said firmly, "Before I came, I told my cronies that if I couldn't go back, Qu Li would never come back." Used by Dayan. Either kill me, or let me take him away!"

The author has something to say: Thank you for the overlord ticket and nutrient solution of the snakeskin monster, okay?
