Chapter 259: The Secret History of Zhongyi Village

Chu Huan and Yingren both knew that all the secrets of Zhongyizhuang might come from that incident, so the two of them were very curious about what happened that time.

Chu Huanxin thought again, the original Princess Qingping and the later Empress of Daqin had lived in Zhongyizhuang for a while, and the courtyard with the smell of rouge was the one where the queen lived?

Just the thought came together, and it quickly sank.

Princess Qingping lived in the Zhongxiao Courtyard twenty years ago, and twenty years have passed, even if there was a rouge fragrance at that time, it is impossible to survive to this day, and the courtyard must have been lived by someone else.

Yuan Yu's old face twitched, and it was gloomy, and there was sadness in his mixed eyes, but more anger, obviously it was the incident that made him unforgettable.

Yingren couldn't help but ask, "What the hell happened?" ”

Yuan Yu picked up the water bag, took off the lid and took a sip before continuing: "At that time, the army of the Qin State had surrounded the capital of Hanyang State, and the Han capital was about to fall at any time, so I waited with your mother in Zhongyi Village, and once the capital of Hanyang fell, we immediately set off to see Qu Chuli executed, but we didn't expect that although Hanyang Kingdom was under siege, it was not dead, and there was a group of people who rushed straight to Zhongyi Village. ”

Although Yingren didn't experience what happened at that time, when he heard this, he also made an "ah" sound and looked a little nervous.

Although the queen is safe and sound now, thinking that her mother will suffer a great risk at that time, Yingren's heart can't help but pinch it.

"The spies of Hanyang Kingdom heard the news and knew that Yingyuan valued your mother very much, and even inquired that Xuanxiang was also recuperating in the Zhongxiao Courtyard, so he wanted to send a team of people to attack Zhongyizhuang and capture your mother and Xuanxiang, so that Yingyuan could be used to blackmail Yingyuan into retreating." Yuan Yu's expression became solemn: "At that time, the Qin army was victorious, and we really didn't expect that Hanyang Kingdom would come to this hand. By the time we found out, Zhongyizhuang had been surrounded by 2,000 men and horses secretly from the Hanyang Kingdom. ”

"How many people were there in Zhongyizhuang at that time?" Yingren asked anxiously.

Yuan Yu stretched out two fingers: "The guards who have been following your mother, plus me, are a total of one hundred and sixty-three people, plus the maids who serve your mother, as well as Xuan Xiang and the guards around him, all of them add up to only one hundred and ninety-five, not even two hundred." ”

Chu Huan sighed: "Two hundred people should deal with two thousand, ten times more than themselves, and the situation at that time seemed really dangerous. ”

Yuan Yu sighed: "Although the pro-guard team has experienced a hundred battles and has been trained from the young man to a strong warrior, but ...... But in the face of an enemy ten times larger than oneself, it is undoubtedly a fool's dream to win. Fortunately, in that year, the king of Zhongxiao Ling built another courtyard, and built the wall of Zhongyizhuang high and thick, although there were many enemies, but as long as we held on, they would be difficult to break through for a while. At that time, we were separated from each other, and although our numbers were small, we were fortunate to have excellent weapons and plenty of bows and arrows to quickly guard all the most important positions. They launched several attacks in a row, all of which were repulsed by us, but we also knew in our hearts that after a long time, the enemy had a large number of troops, and sooner or later they would still be able to attack in. ”

"No reinforcements?" Yingren asked eagerly.

Yuan Yu shook his head: "The army is besieging Handu and is attacking with all its might, where is anyone who thinks that something has happened on the side of Zhongyizhuang." We knew that we wouldn't be able to hold out for long, and even if there was little hope, we still had to send people out to find reinforcements, so after nightfall that day, we sent ten dead soldiers to break through from all sides, just to rush out and ask for help while it was dark, and as long as one of the ten people could kill and report the news, there would be hope that reinforcements would come. ”

"Can someone break out?"

"It was very dark, and we couldn't see the situation clearly, but we only knew that after they went out, there were sounds of killing soon after." Yuan Yu showed a look of grief: "It didn't take long for several heads to be thrown in from the outside, which were the heads of the dead soldiers who broke through and reported the news...... The Han army launched another attack that night, and we were sharply reduced, and by dawn, although we could not let the enemy enter the courtyard even a step, there were ......only more than 80 people left in the 163 personal guards! Speaking of this, Yuan Yu's eyes were already red, and his body trembled sharply.

Although he said it very succinctly, Chu Huan could imagine the tragedy of Zhongyizhuang that night.

With 200 against 2,000, there was a huge disparity between the enemy's strength and ours, and in the face of the enemy's onslaught, the loyal guards of the Great Hua Kingdom could only shed blood and sacrifice with all their might, even if they were fierce tigers, they could not resist the siege of wolves.

"The bodies of the brethren were laid out in the courtyard, and not one of them flinched." Yuan Yu said in a trembling voice: "They are worthy of the elite of my Dahua. ”

Chu Huan's heart sighed.

If the Dahua Dynasty really had peace and security, there would have been no turmoil in the world, and the turmoil in the world would have been caused by a serious problem in the ruling class of the Dahua Dynasty.

These more than 100 guards may be the last glory of the Dahua Dynasty.

"While we were exhausted from withstanding the enemy's attacks one after another, there were even more serious problems in the manor." Yuan Yu smiled bitterly and looked around the tunnel, his face gloomy.

Chu Huan understood and said, "You mean, the Han army entered the village through this secret passage?" ”

"Not bad." Yuan Yu nodded and said: "That siege was actually done by Xiaolingwei and his people, he knows the terrain of Zhongyi Villa well, and that tunnel is what he secretly cultivated, although few people know it, but he knows it clearly." He first surrounded us with heavy troops and launched a series of attacks on us, the purpose of which was to distract our attention, but he secretly led sixty Han masters into the courtyard through the tunnel, and fortunately Xuan Xiang and his guards were guarding the queen's side, so the two sides fought fiercely in the courtyard. It's just that there are only more than 10 guards around Xuanxiang, and more than 60 people on the other side are first-class good hands, we heard the movement, and we had no choice but to abandon the door to save it, and when we retreated, the peripheral Han army attacked like a tide......! ”

Yingren clenched his fists, as if he was there, and he didn't care whether what Yuan Yu said was true or not, and said nervously: "What happened later?" What about the queen mother? Although he knew that the queen would be safe in the end, he couldn't help but ask.

The corners of Yuan Yu's mouth sneered: "The so-called success is also Xiao He, and defeat is also Xiao He." King Zhongxiao Ling certainly led people into the manor, but it was precisely because of his appearance that your mother escaped a catastrophe. ”

Chu Huan frowned and said, "You mean, you ...... Captured the King of Zhongxiao Ling? ”

Yuan Yu sighed: "But the price we paid was heavy, after we returned to help, the peripheral Han army did not rush in for a while, we fought with the subordinates of the King of Zhongxiao Ling, before the Han army attacked, it was finally captured by the King of Zhongxiao Ling, and the people of the personal guard, at that time, there were only a dozen people left...... One hundred and sixty-three brothers, and in the end only ...... There are only a dozen people left, who have followed us for nearly twenty years, never leaving us, and finally ......! With a long sigh, his eyes were red and swollen, and his body trembled.

Although he didn't have any intersection with that group of people, and he couldn't talk about any feelings at all, Chu Huan was still a little gloomy when he thought of the loyalty of that group of people.

There was even a strange look in his eyes.

It's just that such a look quickly disappeared, and Yingren and Yuan Yu didn't pay attention.

"We captured the King of Zhongxiao Ling, although we were surrounded by the Han army, but because the King of Zhongxiao Ling was in hand, they did not dare to attack." Yuan Yu said slowly: "In the end, we only had more than 20 people guarding the courtyard where your mother lived, until the afternoon of the next day, when a reinforcement army really arrived, the Han army was defeated, and we finally turned the corner." At that station, I suffered several knife wounds on my body, and even a heavy blow to my internal organs, and I thought I would definitely die, but God had mercy, and I did miraculously survive, and I lived for twenty years...... There is also Xuan Xiang, although he is the son of Yingyuan, but I still have some admiration for him, although he was only fifteen years old at the time, he still killed several people with injuries, but he was also seriously injured in that battle, and he was injured himself, and he was injured and injured, and at that time I thought he would not survive......! ”

Yingren said: "Brother Crown Prince is alive and well now, but it's just ......!" After a pause, he didn't say it after all.

Yuan Yu smiled coldly and said, "If he is really dead, it will be a good thing." ”

Yingren said angrily: "You ......! He wanted to reprimand Yuan Yu, but thinking that this person might really be his uncle, he didn't say anything angry.

"You are the remnant of the Dahua royal family, and you have the blood of my Dahua royal family, this pseudo-Qin world should return to the hands of my Dahua royal family in the end." Yuan Yu stared at Yingren: "This is your power, and it is also the responsibility you must bear." ”

Yingren's face turned slightly pale, and he said: "What you say today is just your words, and this king will not believe it." He raised his hand and pointed at Yuan Yu and said: "This king doesn't know what your intentions are, if these are true, the queen mother will never hide it from this king!" ”

"You can go back and ask your mother." Yuan Yu said calmly: "Countless brothers died here back then, and I was also seriously injured, and soon the Han was captured, and your mother was picked up, but I didn't leave." First, I was seriously injured at that time, and secondly, because so many brothers died in battle, I wanted to stay behind to arrange for them and pay tribute to their loyal souls. Wei Yi groaned, and then said slowly: "Xuanxiang was also seriously injured at that time and couldn't leave for a while, Yingyuan sent a doctor to treat our injuries on the one hand, and sent someone to take care of the aftermath on the other. At that time, there was a Taoist priest who followed, and it seemed that he still had some magical powers, claiming that the feng shui here was not good, and if that group of loyal souls were buried here, I was afraid that the soul would be restless, so it was necessary to guard the magic weapon here for twenty years......! ”

"Artifact?"

"Not bad." Yuan Yu nodded and said: "At that time, there happened to be a heaven-sent magic weapon, which was the thing of the King of Zhongxiao Ling, which was obtained by Xuan Xiang, and in order to calm the soul, the magic weapon Xuan Xiang gave it up as a soul suppression." Xuan Xiang liked that magic weapon very much, although he handed it over to calm the soul, but he also said that after twenty years, when the time limit was up, he would take this magic weapon away! ”

Yingren understood: "Brother Crown Prince asked this king to come, is it just for that magic weapon?" ”

"Not bad. Twenty years in the blink of a finger, the token you showed before you came in outside the village was the token that Xuanxiang agreed with me back then, and when you saw the token, you were the one who took away the magic weapon. Yuan Yu sighed: "It's just that I never thought that the person who took the thing turned out to be your ......!" ”

"Where is that artifact now?"

"It's in this stone room." Yuan Yu said slowly.

Yingren clenched his fists and said: "In this case, why did this king come to take away the magic weapon, but he was surrounded by people in Zhongyi Village?" What is your relationship with that group of people? ”

Yuan Yu smiled bitterly: "Do you still think that I am in league with them now?" ”

Yingren said: "Whether it's a gang or not, you always need an explanation." ”

Yuan Yu closed his eyes and said slowly: "Before you came, there were originally five people in Zhongyi Village, but ...... When you came, there were only two left. ”

"Five?"

"There were only a dozen brothers left in the guards back then, and except for two who left with your mother at my command, the rest stayed here." Yuan Yu said: "Twenty years have passed, they were all injured and suffered a lot, and only five survived. Just before you arrived, a group of people attacked Zhongyizhuang at night, and the last five of them all fought to the death......! He seemed to have become numb to life and death, and said calmly: "Soon, I will also meet them underground!" ”

"Who is it?" Chu Huan's expression was grim.

Yuan Yu shook his head: "Until now, I don't know who they are, I just know that they will control Zhongyizhuang first and will lay a trap here...... At that time, I guessed that there would be a big man in Zhongyi Village. He stared at Yingren and said slowly: "When the twenty-year period is up, I just thought that Xuan Xiang was coming to take away the magic weapon, so this group of people was going to set up an ambush here to assassinate Xuan Xiang, and I ...... As your uncle, I am ready to help you one last time before you arrive! ”

"The last time to help the king?" Yingren's expression was grim.

Yuan Yu nodded, and said word by word: "If it is really Xuanxiang who comes, even if that group of people kills my brother, even if they have bad intentions, even if they ......!" Speaking of this, Yuan Yu's eyes showed a look of pain, but he still said slowly: "But I am also willing to join forces with them to get rid of Xuanxiang!" ”

Yingren was surprised: "You...... Are you going to murder the prince's brother? ”

Yuan Yu said solemnly: "Don't forget, he is the crown prince, and he is your roadblock." This Qin country is the world of my Dahua Dynasty, you have the blood of the Dahua royal family, after Yingyuan's death, this world can only be yours, and Qixiang is your roadblock, I must help you get rid of him. ”

Yingren was anxious and angry, and said: "Regardless of whether what you say is true or not, don't forget, this king, like the prince's brother, is also the son of his father, and he has the blood of the Great Qin royal family on his body!" ”

Yuan Yu's body shook, and then he coughed violently.
