Volume 2 The Wind Rises in Pingjing Chapter 158 The Long Night Ends in the Dawn
The pro-soldiers of the southern general's mansion lined up, behind them flew arrows like locusts, and there were several monks in the shadow, the most taboo in this Kyoto was the weapon fight, the dignitaries and nobles were all good to raise and obey, and even many high-ranking and powerful people also had personal soldiers and private troops, even if they really wanted to hand over the troops in a short manner, they would also find a good name, and they did not dare to face off against the two armies in a big way on the bustling streets, and tonight's scene was only afraid that it was the first time since the founding of the Northern Wei Dynasty.
Hundreds of torches stretched along the entire long street, like a giant dragon circling, reflecting the night like day, Su Wen looked at the soldiers flowing by him in a daze, until a general stopped beside him, it was the captain of the Zhengnan General's Mansion with a very domineering name, Sun Wangquan.
"The last general was ordered by His Royal Highness King Qi to escort Su Gongzi back to his home. Sun Wangquan said softly, but he didn't look at the tragic battle situation ahead, the team that had already been removed from the military department, the Beifu army that had made Western Chu frightened came back, but even if all the three hundred people died here tonight, no one would ask, and even the Marquis of Wu Anhou would greet General Sun as if nothing had happened.
Sun Wangquan took two horses and Su Wen walked away, the sky in the distance had turned white, and a little light shone on the land of Kyoto again, dispelling the yin qi of the forest, along the way, Su Wen did not ask the other party half a word, including why Chen Maochuan knew that he was in trouble, until the two horses stopped outside the courtyard, and when he saw the purple armor forbidden army guarding outside the courtyard, Su Wen's eyes narrowed, and his palm couldn't help pressing on the dragon's tongue on his waist.
"Commander Zhao has been waiting for a long time. Sun Wangquan suddenly shouted, only to see Zhao Zhongming fully armed and holding a sword, the fierceness in his eyes was deeply hidden the moment he saw the other party, even if there was only one person on the other side, and there were two hundred purple armor forbidden troops standing behind him.
"Your Majesty heard that there was a fight tonight, and the special general came to protect the safety of Su Gongzi. Zhao Zhongming shouted in a deep voice, Su Wen, who was already seriously injured, looked at him deeply, turned over and dismounted, and pushed the door in without saying a word, and then the iron door slammed shut, and the muffled sound spread through the night.
"Since there is Zhao Commander here, I will retire first. Sun Wangquan smiled slightly, Zhao Zhongming, who was smiling, was frizzy, and when he saw the other party pulling away without hesitation, the palm holding the sword slowly let go.
An adjutant general hurriedly stepped forward and asked softly, "Do you want to rush in directly?" ”
"Wait, I'm going back to the palace, you can't act rashly. Zhao Zhongming felt uneasy, raised his eyes several times to look at the closed iron gate, and finally drove towards the palace quickly.
Su Wen's back was against the iron door, and the little servant on the side and Mu Qiaoqiao, who didn't know why again, were frightened when they saw the other party like this, and they didn't dare to say anything until there was no movement outside the door, Su Wen's already overdrawn body could no longer support the darkness in front of him, and he fainted and fell to the ground.
When he woke up again, Guo Yuansheng and the three of them were also in the house, each with injuries on their bodies, Chang Qingsheng was helping to bandage them on the side, and Wan Xucheng on the wall was cautiously looking at the purple armor forbidden army outside with his fat body.
"Fairy grass. Su Wen sat up abruptly, bursts of pain filling his body, as if every inch of his skin had been burned by the flames.
"I'm here. Hu Xiancao came in from outside the house quickly, and after seeing Su Wen, he burst into tears, and suddenly hugged the other party into his arms, and Su Wen's whole face was very hideous, but he heard the pear blossoms of the other party crying with rain, and he only felt that there were ten thousand steel needles in his heart, and he had promised to touch the qin, and no one would be able to hurt the other party.
"Xiancao, I marry you, no matter what happens tonight, I will marry you. Su Wen blushed and said seriously, but was beaten on the back by a jade hand, and then heard the other party scold with a crying smile: "Bastard, what do you want to happen." ”
"Also, who wants to marry you, so desperate, sooner or later you will have to be widowed, I don't want to. Hu Xiancao smiled with tears, caressing the scars on the other party's body with a heartache, and when she woke up and saw the other party like this, her tears that had only cried in front of her father's grave couldn't stop pouring down.
Hearing the other party's words, the stone hanging in Su Wen's heart finally settled, and he hugged the other party in his arms regardless of the pain, and said with a domineering smile: "This is not up to you, I said to marry, you have to marry." ”
Now that he has spoken, he is simply a scoundrel, Hu Xiancao resisted a few times at any time, and finally quietly stuck to the other party's arms, Su Wen quietly pouted at the few people behind.
A few people then understood and exited the room, and the sky was white, but there was still a shallow moon shadow, very large and round.
The purple armor forbidden army that had been guarding outside the courtyard all night finally retreated to the imperial city before dawn, and on the way to the Yuhua Palace, he saw a white bird fluttering its wings and flying by, and Chen Maoyu in the hall looked solemn, Zhou Budo did not have the idleness of the past, and stood aside with his brows locked, and there was another person beside him, his eyes were blindfolded by the red cloth, but he could still feel the sharp gaze of the other party through the red cloth, Zhao Zhongming recognized this retrograde Taoist master who made everyone in the world like a man, and stopped outside the hall with interest and did not dare to approach.
"Lu Re, is there anyone in this world that you can't kill?" Chen Maoyu asked in a cold voice.
"Nope. The blindfolded swordsman said confidently, but then he spoke again, "Unless I don't want to kill." ”
"Smack. ”
Chen Maoyu slammed on the table, his expression was as cold as wanting to kill, but he suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed, and laughed helplessly at himself: "I, the emperor, really have enough pockets, I can't even kill a person, Zhao Zhongming, withdraw people!"
"Your Majesty, the last general has the courage to ask Your Majesty for the lives of two hundred purple armor forbidden soldiers, and will bring back Su Wen's head. Zhao Zhongming didn't know where the courage came from, and shouted in a deep voice.
"Two hundred, haha. Chen Maoyu shook his head and laughed miserably: "Even if I give you ten times more Su Wen, I won't be able to die, because I don't dare to kill, I don't dare to kill." ”
For the first time, Zhao Zhongming heard such dejected words from the other party's mouth, the emperor who had been lying on his back, full of ambition for more than ten years, and dared to compete with Li Jucheng tonight, completely exposed his helplessness, even if he was called the puppet emperor back then, even the people of the entire Northern Wei Dynasty thought that he was an emperor who had never seen it all the time, because this time he really understood what it meant to be small.
"Is Your Majesty going to admit defeat?" Zhou Budo asked, with a sense of resentment, but just now he was just as suspicious.
"Lose, I've never won. ”
"But now you are the one who sits on the throne, you are the one who Su Chengyun came to see, and you are the one who came to see Ling Tiangong in the court, and you are the one who can make Li Jucheng kneel in front of the steps, aren't these winning?" Zhou Budo pulled out the dry tobacco from his waist, held it with both hands and suddenly exerted force, and the cigarette stick broke in response, "I Zhou Budo firmly believe that you are Emperor Yu, after King Zhou, the third Ninety-Five Emperor of Kyushu, Chen Maoyu, believe it or not." ”
Zhou Budo called him by his name, he had always shown a soft-spoken and weak appearance because of his frail health, but he was the only one of the three people in the hall who dared to face Su Chengyun.
Chen Maoyu was like being shaken by thunder, his whole body was suddenly stunned, his lips and teeth trembled, his eyes full of hesitation were suddenly sharp, and the air of decadence dissipated in an instant.
"I believe in it. ”
......
After one night, the city god temple in the west city seems to be struck by the thunder, the whole beam of the house was lifted off, and then it was found by people beside the moat outside the city, the fracture is smooth as a mirror, but the two places are a hundred zhang away, it has to be the power of the ghosts and gods to do such a miracle, the five beams and pillars of the thickness of the two people in the hall are also nowhere to be seen, the stone statue is incomplete, only a stone statue of the king of Yama who is missing half of the body is left standing in the middle.
The gilded plaque engraved with "This goes to no life" in Linyuan Prison was broken in two, and a hole was blown open in the walls dozens of zhang high on both sides of the prison, and the big hole was facing Li Zaixiao's cell, and the other party sat in it and looked at the snow outside, not escaping, but waiting for a carriage that slowly approached.
In the restaurant at the gate of the city, the bookkeeper, who must have arrived early in the past, did not see a trace until midnight, and the angry shopkeeper jumped to his feet and scolded, shouting that he would deduct his wages.
But these are not enough to withstand the shock when someone saw Du Mansion this morning, hundreds of corpses dressed in ghost costumes were hung in front of the mansion, and a smell of blood could be smelled from afar, and people who knew the inside story whispered that the woman who was robbed by Shang Shugongzi on the street last night was Su Wen's wife, I am afraid that Su Wen had already been to Du Mansion, but soon Yin Qi Changxu of Jingzhao Mansion came here, and after learning that the Du family father and son were safe and sound, they just hastily collected the corpses, and there was no follow-up.
Later, Zhang issued a notice that last night, a Southern Tang Dynasty infiltrated Kyoto, intending to assassinate the important ministers of the court, but fortunately, the news was intercepted by the Zhengnan General's Office, and he worked together with the Zhenfu Division to clean up the inside and outside of Kyoto, annihilating hundreds of enemies, and making people happy.
So soon people forgot the noise that had been disturbing their dreams in their ears last night, and it was a great blessing that in the first year of the new year, the country and the people were safe, and the great priest of the world appeared in person to spread the teachings to the world.
At the edge of the crowd, Jiang Li, who was dressed in blood, walked through the crowd without dodging, and hurriedly sprinkled the divine light, and the people's intuitive eyes were full of beautiful images, worshipping sincerely, and when the divine light receded, the great priest was gone, and only the twelve palace priests continued to explain the doctrine to everyone.
Jiang Li threw the bloody head in his hand on the table in exhaustion, and said coldly: "Let him escape, only behead his body." ”
"If the people of Yin Cao are so easy to kill, Ling Tiangong will especially tolerate their existence. Du Shi raised his hand and hit the bloody human head, and immediately the light appeared to wrap it in, and the light group continued to shrink, and finally turned into a cinnabar the size of a fingernail and fell on the center of Mo Xiuyuan's eyebrows, which happened to overlap with the point of cinnabar at the center of the other party's eyebrows.
"I met Sue last night. Jiang Li was disgusted and stopped.
"He still won't tell you. Du Shi seemed to have expected it and spoke, the quilt was covered on Mo Xiuyuan's body, and as the cinnabar on his eyebrows gradually faded, the other party's qi finally stopped.
Jiang Liyan frowned and looked at Mo Xiuyuan on the bed, she walked down from Ling Tiangong to find someone, at first she thought that Mo Xiuyuan was that person, but at the moment she felt that the other party was very strange, she always recognized the other party at a glance when she was on it, but here she finally couldn't find that person, the guy who spoke wildly.
"How dare you trespass on the abode of a saint. ”
"Because I'm going to break a hole this day. ”
