Chapter 1903: Whipping
Liuli frowned and said: "That is the elixir I got from a miracle doctor back then, naturally it will not be fake, after the mother drinks, can you follow my instructions and mention the matter to Xuanyuan Shao?" Do you want him to go to the Holy One and ask Him to make you his queen? ”
Xuehua was stunned, frowned and thought for a moment, shook her head and said: "After drinking, before I could let him go to the saint, I felt hot all over my body, and! His cheeks flushed, and he hesitated for a moment before he said softly: "And at that time, I just wanted a man to hold me, otherwise it would be very uncomfortable." ”
Liuli sighed: "That's when the medicinal properties work, and it's also when Niangniang can communicate with Xuanyuan Shao's heart." As long as Niangniang was thinking about the future at that time, and proposed to let Xuanyuan Shao go to the Holy Lord to speak for you, Xuanyuan Shao would definitely do what you wanted, but! He smiled bitterly and said: "At such an important time, how can Niangniang think of the love of men and women?" You think like this in your heart, and Xuanyuan Shao naturally thinks like you, so! ”
Xuehua was a little embarrassed, but there was hope in her beautiful eyes, and said: "Liuli, you mean that today's incident is not not my intention, but the medicine has worked?" Can you explain this to the Holy One? ”
"Although it was the drug that worked, in the final analysis, it was the mother who had the lust in her heart at that time." Liuli frowned and said: "And if I go to intercede for Niangniang and tell the truth to the saint, the saint will hear that you want to use Xuanyuan Shao to sit on the throne of the queen, I'm afraid I will be even more annoyed!" He sighed and said, "It's just that if the mother really wants Liuli to ask for it, Liuli will say it now." ”
Xuehua hurriedly grabbed and said, "Then what other ways are there?" Ruri, you have to help me. ”
Liuli frowned and groaned for a moment, and finally said: "Niangniang, for today's plan, I'm afraid there is only one way to save Niangniang's life." ”
Xuehua heard Liuli say this, like a drowning man grabbing a life-saving straw, and hurriedly said: "What, you say it quickly, what is the method?" ”
"If Niangniang wants to avoid crime, she can only put all the blame on Xuanyuan Shao." Liuli said softly: "Niangniang said that Xuanyuan Shao was drunk and disorderly, with indecent intentions, and he never let go of his mouth, so that the saint may be lenient on Niangniang." He sighed lightly: "No matter what, Niangniang is the favorite concubine of the first emperor, and the saint doesn't want the court to appear like this, Niangniang should understand what I mean, as long as Niangniang bites and doesn't let go, she can put all the blame on Xuanyuan Shao, I think the saint is also willing to see that this is just Xuanyuan Shao's guilt, so it can also save the royal face." ”
Xuehua hesitated for a moment before she said softly, "Is this the only way?" Xuanyuan Shao Xuanyuan Shao is also drinking after all, he seems to be a good person, can there be a way to save his life? ”
"Niangniang, it is not easy to keep one person in such a court scandal, just because the current saint has a benevolent temperament, if you are the first emperor, even if you want to do it according to my method, you may not be able to live." Liuli smiled bitterly: "If Niangniang wants to save Xuanyuan Shao, she can only bear all the blame herself, Xuanyuan Shao may still have a chance of life, otherwise!" ”
Xuehua hurriedly said: "I listen to you, as long as I can make the saint not kill me, I will do what you ask me to do." ”
Liuli Jade put her hand on the back of Xuehua Niang's hand, smiled like a spring breeze, and said softly: "Don't be afraid, you can always get through the difficulties." ”
Although Zhou Ting, Marquis of Changling, was a literati, he was not useless, he was a northerner, accustomed to riding horses, Dingwu sent him to Xishan to stabilize the situation, he did not make any stops, led more than ten followers, with the holy decree given to him by Dingwu, and rode a fast horse to Xishan Road.
Zhou Ting knew very well in his heart that the situation in Xishan was critical and urgent, Feng Poyu was born as a military general, a rough man, and most of his subordinates were fierce barbarians, if there was no one to restrain them, it would be easy to cause trouble.
So he rushed to Yunshan Mansion like lightning non-stop.
As he expected in advance, Feng Poyu had indeed transferred troops into the city, and most of his Hexi Army was transferred to the city to serve as defense, while the more than 2,000 Xishan Janissaries who were originally stationed in Yunshan Mansion were all transferred out of the city and camped outside the city.
After entering the city, Zhou Ting went to the Yunshan Governor's Mansion, riding a horse on the street, but it was difficult to see people, Zhou Ting knew that Yunshan was a very prosperous city, but now the streets were deserted, but from time to time I saw a patrol soldier walking on the street, and suddenly frowned.
According to Dingwu's orders, Zhou Ting came this time to prepare to defend Yunshan Mansion City.
If you want to defend such a big city, you must work together with the army and the people, otherwise it is really an extremely difficult thing to defend Yunshan Mansion in the face of the powerful Northwest Army.
But seeing the scene on the street, there was no doubt that the people of Yunshan City obviously did not have the same heart as Feng Poyu, which made Zhou Ting's heart rise with a sense of unease.
Approaching the Governor's Palace, he suddenly heard a rapid sound of horses' hooves in front of him, Zhou Ting looked up, and saw a team of people and horses coming not far away, there were more than ten people, all of them were healthy horses like flying, and one person was wearing armor first, although there was still some distance, but Zhou Ting saw the armor style, and immediately knew that the person was Feng Poyu.
He was a little strange, secretly thinking that he had come to Yunshan Mansion by himself, and he had not sent anyone to notify him in advance, seeing Feng Poyu coming on horseback, did he already know that he had arrived at Yunshan Mansion and came to greet him.
Before he could think about it, the cavalry had already approached, Zhou Ting reined in his horse and stopped in the middle of the street, but he heard someone on the other side already shouting: "Get out of the way!" ”
Zhou Ting was stunned, frowned, and said loudly: "Beiyong Marquis!" ”
Feng Poyu rode his horse closer, seemed to recognize Zhou Ting, slowed down his horse, stepped forward, saw Zhou Ting clearly, his face showed surprise, and said strangely: "Marquis Changling? How did you get here? ”
Zhou Ting arched his hand and said: "By the will of the Holy Lord, I have come to help the Marquis of Beiyong to defend the city, the Marquis of Beiyong, where are you going in this hurry?" ”
The other party obviously didn't know that he was coming, and naturally he couldn't have come to greet him.
"Marquis Changling, forgive me for not being able to say much now, and I will make amends when I go back." Without further ado, he shook the reins of his horse and led a group of his men to fly away.
Zhou Ting frowned, looking at this situation, it was obvious that there was an urgent matter, and his heart sank, secretly wondering if it was Chu Huan's soldiers and horses who had already come over, and he did not hesitate, turned the horse's head, although he chased after Feng Poyu.
Feng Poyu didn't care that Zhou Ting was following behind, flying like lightning all the way, going out from the south of the city, and then all the way to the south.
After all, Zhou Ting's equestrian skills are not as good as Feng Poyu, who is skilled in bowing horses, after leaving the city, the distance gradually leaves, but fortunately, the terrain in the south of Yunshan Mansion is empty, although the distance is widened, you can also see the back of Feng Poyu and his party from a distance.
I don't know how long it took, going straight for dozens of miles, Zhou Ting saw from a distance the ground in front of him was black and pressing, waving flags, knowing that if nothing else, it would be the place of the garrison.
Zhou Ting's expression became solemn, secretly thinking that Feng Poyu rushed to the military camp in a hurry, it must be related to the military, it seems that his guess is not bad, Chu Huan, who occupies Tongzhou in the south, is very likely to have sent troops to attack.
He was anxious, and he had just entered the city, and he had already seen that although there were still defenders in the city, the troops were weak, and there was no doubt that Feng Poyu did not transfer his troops and horses into the city, but deployed a formation south of Yunshan Mansion City.
The top priority, even if Chu Huan's soldiers and horses attacked, he had to quickly ask Feng Poyu to withdraw all the soldiers and horses to Yunshan Mansion, close the city gate, and defend the city with all his might.
Feng Poyu arrived at the camp and rode directly into the camp, Zhou Ting led his entourage forward, but a group of soldiers had already stepped forward to stop him, but this group of soldiers were all bareheaded, with shiny scalps, but they were all barbarian soldiers, Zhou Ting glanced at it, knowing that this was the camp of one of the barbarian soldiers, when he frowned, there was already an entourage next to him who scolded sharply, those barbarian soldiers obviously didn't understand the Central Plains dialect, looked at Zhou Ting, saw Zhou Ting's robe and hat, hesitated, one of them pointed to Zhou Ting, and then pointed to the camp, and then pointed to a group of entourage, waved his hand.
With his gesture, everyone naturally understood in an instant, obviously letting Zhou Ting enter the barracks alone, and no one else could enter.
At this time, Zhou Ting only thought about catching up with Feng Poyu immediately and asking him to quickly transfer troops back to the city, and he didn't care about dealing with these barbarian soldiers, so he turned around and said, "You guys are waiting outside." "With a flick of the horse's reins, Pegasus enters the camp.
When he entered the camp, he saw Feng Poyu's voice from a distance, and rushed over, seeing that Feng Poyu had already dismounted in front of a big tent, and Zhou Ting had not caught up, Feng Poyu had already rushed into the big tent.
Zhou Ting urged the horse over, and also restrained the horse in front of the big tent, glanced at the group of people who followed Feng Poyu, and asked in a deep voice, "What happened?" Is the Northwest Army coming? ”
Everyone looked at each other and didn't speak, but at this moment, they saw the tent door opened, but Feng Poyu had already come out, just carrying a horsewhip in one hand and dragging a man's clothes out of the tent with the other.
Out of the big tent, Feng Poyu slammed hard and threw the man to the ground, Zhou Ting saw that the man was dressed as a barbarian general, with a bare head, and before he could see the person's appearance clearly, Feng Poyu had already raised his horsewhip and whipped it down at the man without a head, and his face was full of anger.
At this time, around the big tent, many barbarian soldiers surrounded them, and they all showed surprise when they saw Feng Poyu beating that person, and some barbarian soldiers showed annoyance.
Zhou Ting had already turned over and dismounted, hurriedly stepped forward, grabbed Feng Poyu's arm, and persuaded: "Beiyong Hou is angry, what is going on, Beiyong Hou is so angry?" ”
Feng Poyu stopped at this time, and did not answer Zhou Ting, but asked in a cold voice, "Where are the Shuwutai people?" ”
The man had already climbed up, he was in a fur coat and armor, which was torn in many places, there were a few whip marks on his neck and face, and there was a hint of anger on his face, but he was obviously still very jealous of Feng Poyu, and raised his hand to point at another tent not far away, Feng Poyu said coldly: "Take Ben over with you." ”
The man was leading the way in front, Feng Poyu followed behind, Zhou Ting didn't figure out what was going on for a while, and followed behind, but he also knew that the barbarian who was beaten was obviously a barbarian general, Feng Poyu was in front of so many people, and whipped this person with a horsewhip, but he didn't leave a little face for this person, he only felt that Feng Poyu was too arrogant.
Zhou Ting didn't have a good impression of the barbarians, but he knew that if he wanted to resist the Northwest Army now, he needed to rely on these barbarians who could fight well.
If the barbarians are jealous at this time, it will not do this war any good.
After thinking about it, he had already arrived in front of the tent, and the barbarian general glanced at Feng Poyu, and Feng Poyu said coldly: "Open it!" ”
The barbarian general opened the tent door, Feng Poyu was the first to enter, Zhou Ting hesitated for a moment and followed in, and the barbarian general followed behind, clenched his fists, and entered the tent.
