Chapter 682: The Journey
Blood pooled into streams, and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Zhao Jun's corpses were piled up in the open space in front of the Chengqing Palace.
Luo Hong was covered in blood, like a killing god who broke into the Chengqing Palace, looked at King Zhao on the throne, he walked straight up, lifted King Zhao from the dragon chair and threw him down.
King Zhao was old, staggered and rolled down the steps, his forehead was hit by the steps, and blood flowed out.
"Hahaha......" King Zhao was humiliated by Luo Hong, not only did he not get angry but laughed wildly, just laughing and laughing, and there was suddenly a hint of desolation in his voice.
Luo Hong drew his sword and pointed at King Zhao and scolded: "Rebel and thief, I want to see how long you can laugh?" ”
He said to his soldiers, "Tie them all up." ”
When the two soldiers heard this, they immediately tied up King Zhao and Zhao Yuanliang, and at this time, Luo Xin also walked in, and he reminded: "Brother, there are also Empress Zhao and the Thirteen Princes. ”
Luo Hong nodded with a gloomy face, and he immediately led the other soldiers to the harem and handed over the previous matter to Luo Xin.
The road to the harem was full of the corpses of the palace maids, and seeing this scene, Luo Hong's heart became more and more gloomy.
It's just that he doesn't dare to delay.
The thirteen princes were supported to the throne by King Zhao, but the people of Chang'an City who did not know the truth thought that these thirteen princes were the emperors of the current Great Yu Kingdom, so the current identity of these thirteen princes is very special.
"General, look!"
While Luo Hong was thinking, suddenly a soldier pointed to a well in the palace, and it was none other than Empress Zhao who was by the well.
Seeing this, Luo Hong immediately ran over with the soldiers.
"Mother."
Luo Hong stopped three meters beside Empress Zhao, and when she saw them coming, Empress Zhao made a move that frightened them, and she stood by the well.
Empress Zhao was in a trance, and there was a trace of crow's feet on her peerless face, she looked at Luo Hong with a dull expression and said: "It seems that King Qi's soldiers and horses are really fighting, and this palace will ask you, is King Zhao dead?" ”
Empress Zhao is the widow of the first emperor, and now that Xiao Ming has ascended the throne, according to reason, this Empress Zhao should also be one of the queen mothers.
Out of loyalty to the emperor, Luo Hong was still dissatisfied with snubbing Empress Zhao, he said: "King Zhao has been captured, and the teachers and students are dead but have to wait for the emperor to fall." ”
"Your Majesty? Did Xiao Ming ascend the throne? Empress Zhao's eyes fluctuated slightly.
"Yes, the first emperor left an edict to let His Royal Highness King Qi ascend the throne."
At the mention of Xiao Wenxuan, Empress Zhao's mood fluctuations became more and more obvious, she couldn't help but sobbed softly, muttering to herself, "Your Majesty, it's the concubine who can't stand you, it's the concubine who makes the country of Chongqing like this now, and the concubine should die." ”
Empress Zhao cried sadly, Luo Hong was also a little unbearable, he said: "Niangniang mourning, as the saying goes, if you don't break it, you can't stand it, now that the north is unified, you don't have to worry about the threat of the vassal king in the future." ”
Empress Zhao stopped crying when she heard this, she gently touched the two-year-old thirteen princes in her arms, and was silent for a long time and said to Luo Hong: "This palace knows why you found this, presumably for the thirteen princes, one mountain does not allow two tigers, and the world does not allow two masters, does Xiao Ming want you to kill the thirteen princes?"
With despair in her eyes, Queen Zhao took another step towards the well, and she said, "You go back and tell Xiao Ming that this palace can't help him, and this palace won't cause him any trouble." ”
Luo Hong was shocked, he hurriedly dissuaded: "Niangniang three or four, the thirteen princes are just a two-year-old baby, what's wrong, the emperor will not kill the thirteen princes, as long as Niangniang makes the truth of the Chang'an rebellion public, Niangniang and the thirteen princes can continue to enjoy glory and wealth." ”
Empress Zhao just smiled bitterly when she heard this, "Rebellion is a big crime, and this palace can't escape." ”
After that, she was about to jump into the well, but at this time, the thirteen princes suddenly cried, and Empress Zhao's body suddenly froze.
Luo Hong's eyes rolled, and he immediately strode forward, grabbed Empress Zhao and dragged her and the thirteen princes down the well.
"Offended, mother." Luo Hong said to the soldiers: "Protect your mother." ”
Empress Zhao had a trace of sadness in her eyes, but she no longer continued to struggle at this time.
There was no one in the palace who needed to be arrested, Luo Hong took King Zhao's father and son, and Queen Zhao's mother and son to the camp.
They don't dare to live in the palace, although the current palace is in Qingzhou, it is still disrespectful to live here.
Back in the camp, Luo Hong reported the results of the battle to Niu Ben, and then told all the things about King Zhao and Queen Zhao.
"General, what should be done with King Zhao's father and son, and Empress Zhao's mother and son now?" Luo Hong asked.
After a deep sigh, Niu Ben said: "The identities of King Zhao's father and son and Queen Zhao's mother and son are very sensitive, and it is inconvenient for me to deal with them, so now I can only send them to Qingzhou and wait for the emperor's fate." ”
Luo Hong nodded, this kind of thing is indeed not something he can participate in.
Arching his hand, he was about to leave, when Niu Ben's words sounded again, "Wait a minute, Ben will have something to tell you." ”
"By the general's orders alone."
"Chang'an has been taken by us, King Zhao has been arrested by us again, Zhao has existed in name only, but even so, there are still many things we need to do, a few days ago Ben will receive the emperor's will, the emperor let us take advantage of the victory to pursue, take the city of Zhao in one fell swoop, completely cut off the possibility of going south, I will think about it, and decided to let you independently lead the army to recover Zhao, and stay to guard the danger, what do you think?"
Luo Hong was overjoyed when he heard this, Niu Ben's arrangement was his trust in him, and compared to Qingzhou, he preferred Chang'an.
"Thank you, General, for cultivating." Luo Hong thanked.
Niu Ben said with a smile: "Your father is the best friend of the general, and it is also appropriate to take care of your brothers, after all, the virtuous do not avoid relatives, but it is a big deal to guard the Zhao State, you can't stab Lou Zi for the general, otherwise the general will not be able to hold it in front of the emperor." ”
"The general is at ease, and the general will be conscientious and diligent." Luo Hong said.
Niu Ben nodded, and he let Luo Hong go back.
Seeing Luo Hong go back, he refocused his gaze on the map in front of him, King Zhao was captured, and this Zhao State was in their pocket, and this also heralded the end of the war in the north.
Only then they will face the real enemy, the Golden Horde.
In the will, Xiao Ming made it very clear that the Golden Horde was withdrawing troops from Goryeo, and it was self-evident that the purpose of this withdrawal was to concentrate on dealing with the Great Yu State.
In his opinion, the Golden Horde is definitely not as easy to deal with as these vassal kings in the country, this is a very barbaric race, and the most important thing is that everyone in this race is a soldier.
If the Golden Horde is determined to fight the Great Yu Kingdom, it will definitely be much more difficult than dealing with these vassal kings.
