If it weren't for Dou Miao still occupying the position of Queen Mother, the nobleman of Shenyuan should be called "Dong Queen Mother".

"If you can't go back to Changqiu Palace, then you can't go back to Changqiu Palace."

Dou Miao didn't care about not being able to return to Changqiu Palace.

She mustered up her courage, and finally asked the question that she had always wanted to ask but never asked, and said, "Then...then...how about my family?

Wang Fu said: "General Dou Wu conspired against him and committed suicide in the barracks. All the guests and in-laws of the Dou clan were killed. As for the relatives of the Empress Dowager... they are safe and sound."

"What? You are safe and sound?" Dou Miao did not believe Wang Fu's nonsense at all, and said, "How is it possible? My Dou family's guests and in-laws were all killed by you. But Dou's family is safe and sound? Don't tell me, this is also the case. The mercy of the emperor."

"Your Majesty is busy eating, drinking and having fun, so of course he doesn't care about these trivial matters. But, why..." Wang Fu smiled wryly, spread his hands, and said, "The Queen Mother has a good sister!"

"My sister? Chan'er?"

"Yes, it's your sister, Dou Chan. Originally, the slaves were ready to kill the entire General's mansion. However, the Empress Dowager's younger sister stepped forward.

She said that her elder brother, Dou Yuanzuo, had already gone to Xiliang with a letter from the general, planning to betroth herself to Champion Hou and Liu Yan, the shepherd of Xiliang Prefecture, as a concubine.Later, we heard from Wei Jiao that the Empress Dowager had indeed mentioned this matter. "

"So, you don't dare to touch my Dou family?"

"How fresh!" Wang Fu smiled wryly, "It's unreasonable for a champion to be the most powerful in the world. At the beginning, he dared to fight against you, the empress dowager, in order to protect the late emperor's woman, Tian Sheng.

Now, what if he comes to "kill the eunuch, Qingjun side" for your sister who is as beautiful as a fairy?Of course, we are also worried about the Dou family staying in Chang'an.so……"

"What happened to you, our Dou family?" Dou Miao asked nervously.

Wang Fu said: "Zhang Huan was deceived by us and forced the general to death. He felt ashamed and wrote to the court to resign. We simply approved his memorial and ordered him to escort the Dou family including your sister Dou Chan. Go to Xiliang and seek refuge with Liu Yan. Now, we are on our way."

"So that's it! Father's plan, after all... it finally worked!"

Dou Miao's current mood is both relief and regret.

Extremely sorry!

She thought to herself: What if, what if, she didn't plot against Liu Yan at all, but just married her younger sister to Liu Yan?

In that case, my younger sister will be Liu Yan's official wife!

Even if my lord father loses in this struggle, it is nothing more than a generous admission of defeat.With a good son-in-law like Champion Hou, why commit suicide?

Even myself, with the strong support of Liu Yan, may not lose the power belonging to the Queen Mother!

Sorry!

Is it really exhausting the three rivers and the four seas? It is hard to wash away today's regrets!

If I do it again, I will only be friends with Liu Yan, not enemies.

I... I really knew today, why bother back then!

Chapter 133 Duan Jiong was ruined and defected to Liu Yan

Another four years later, in Luoyang, Tingwei was imprisoned.

wow-

slam-la-

An old man with gray hair and white prison clothes, with wooden shackles, handcuffs and shackles, walked into the cell under the escort of two jailers.

This is the prison cell where important officials of the imperial court are held. Of course, it is not simple, gloomy and filthy.

In fact, not only is the light and ventilation quite good here, but it is also clean and tidy, not much worse than ordinary hostels.

However, from a high-ranking and powerful court official who responds to everyone, he has fallen to such a point.

It is impossible to say that he will be tortured and tortured in the future, and even his head will be decapitated. Most of the important court officials are extremely depressed and angry.

Except for this gray-haired old man today.

Because, he understands that he has long been ruined, and the situation he is in today really deserves it!Even if he was sentenced to the death penalty of quartering his body by five horses, he would not be able to pay for his sins!

He is Duan Jiong!

After the great victory in Jinyang, Duan Jiong, who was granted the title of Marquis of Xinfeng County, was famous all over the world and admired by the world.

How did I get to where I am today?

Fragments flashed through Duan Jiong's mind.

I still remember how full of ambition I was when I went to Dunhuang and persuaded Liu Yan, the shepherd of Xiliang Prefecture, to enter Luoyang with me and do some earth-shattering careers to rejuvenate the great man.

I still remember that I just came to Luoyang with [-] blood-drinking troops, and the imperial court sent a big scorpion to greet the condolences, and the people of Luoyang came to welcome me.

Soon, however, everything changed.

A shocking coup took place in Luoyang.The empress dowager, who held the highest power in the empire, became a prisoner.

The general who controlled the military power of the whole country was forced to commit suicide in the barracks.Countless high-ranking officials and relatives in Luoyang were massacred like pigs and dogs.

By the way, there is also Liu Kui, the king of Bohai, the younger brother of the first emperor, who was also ransacked and wiped out his family just because he offended the eunuch Wang Fu.

Today, those who hold the power of the empire are actually a group of eunuchs who have no talent, no virtue, no contribution to the country, and no bottom line!

And that high and mighty Son of Heaven is actually happy to see the success of this matter!

Is there any reason for this?

Is this still the human world?

Is this still... in my mind, that burly man who is brilliant and mighty?

Ever since, his faith collapsed.

Cowardly!

In order to preserve his life, for the sake of glory and wealth, he bowed down at the knee of the eunuch Wang Fu and became his loyal dog.

Whoever Wang Fu told him to bite, he would bite!

Whoever Wang Fu told him to kill, he would kill!

Because of Wang Fu's affiliation, he quickly skyrocketed, and successively served as Zhijinwu, Henan Yin, Sili Xiaowei, and Taiwei.

Because of Wang Fu's Afu, I don't know how many innocent people's blood was stained on my hands!

There are young and middle-aged men, there are old people, there are young people, and there are children!

Moreover, these people are not those of other races, but Han Chinese, people of their own race!

Because of his attachment to Wang Fu's Affiliate, his reputation has been stinking for eight hundred miles, and he has been scolded by people all over the world.

It is also because of Wang Fu's attachment to Wang Fu. When Wang Fu fell in the struggle with other eunuchs, it was the time when he, as Wang Fu's party member, was sent to this court prison to settle the accounts.What awaits me is bound to be countless tortures and death!

Are you not reconciled?

Nothing to be reconciled to.

It's all your choice.No matter what kind of retribution he received for the things he did, it would not be an exaggeration.

Do you regret it yourself?

Of course I regret it.

I regret it, I regret it, I didn't listen to the words of the champion Hou, and entered the big quagmire of Luoyang!

How nice it would be if after the great victory in Jinyang, he retired with the aura of a great hero.

Really, if I knew today, why did I have to do it at the beginning!

Duan Jiong slightly closed his eyes, full of thoughts, quietly waiting for the arrival of the last moment.

suddenly--

dong dong dong-

stubborn--

With the sound of footsteps, the door of the cell opened, as if someone had walked in.

"My servant has seen Duan Houye!" A shrill voice sounded in front of Duan Jiong.

"Eunuch?" Without even opening his eyes, Duan Jiong let out a sneer and said, "Tell me, how are you going to deal with this old man? Do you execute the punishment first? Or start now and take the old man's life?

Or... Let the old man ride around in a prison cart and be humiliated by the people of Luoyang, to show that you eunuchs who beat Wang Fu down represent the righteous side?bring it on!Just come, everyone with the surname Duan will follow! "

"What is Duan Hou talking about?" The eunuch said respectfully, "This servant is picking you up and taking you to Xiliang."

"What? Xi... Xiliang?"

Duan Jiong opened his eyes and said, "Who are you? What is the relationship between you and the champion Hou Liu Yan?"

"The servant girl Wei Zhongxian is the admiral of the East Factory under Liangzhou Mu and Champion Hou Liuyan. She is responsible for being the master and monitoring the world!"

"So, Champion Hou sent you to save this old man?"

Duan Jiong's face was happy at first, but then his face darkened quickly, and he said: "Forget it! Forget it! My family is in Luoyang, even if I can leave, how can my family escape? The old man deserves to die long ago, full of evil. Don't bother your family!"

"Don't worry about this, Duan Hou." Wei Zhongxian said: "Just when you had an accident, our East Factory has already sent your family out of Luoyang to Xiliang. After all, Champion Hou gave us Dongchang A clear order has been issued to fully protect the safety of you and your family."

"Duan will never forget the kindness that the champion has shown to Duan. But... let's forget it." Duan Jiong said with a wry smile, "Wouldn't the Wei factory supervisor not know what Duan's reputation is now? If the champion would protect him I am Duan Jiong, then he will become the target of public criticism. The champion is worthy of Duan, and Duan cannot be sorry for him!"

Wei Zhongxian said: "Regarding this point, Duan Hou doesn't have to worry at all. Champion Hou has already made arrangements, and he will never affect his reputation because of you. In addition, Champion Hou has explained that if you are determined not to go to Xiliang , just ask you a word."

"What?"

"Are you willing to die with an eternal infamy?"

"I don't want to! Of course I don't want to! This old man was originally a great hero of the big man! The old man also had the ambition to help the world and rejuvenate the big man! The old man also used to drink ice and sleep in the snow for seven years in Xiliang for the sake of the big man!"

At the end, Duan Jiong's eye circles were a little moist, and he said: "However, people cannot be resurrected after death, and a big mistake has already been made, so what can I do?"

"Duanhou doesn't have it, but the champion has it! The champion has a way to let you get rid of this eternal infamy!" Wei Zhongxian smiled slightly and said, "Now, it depends on Duanhou, whether he is willing to go to Xiliang with his slaves and defect The champion is here!"

"Okay! The old man will go with you!" Duan Jiong couldn't wait to stand up, and said: "As long as the champion can let the old man get rid of the eternal infamy, even if my body is smashed to pieces, I will die!"

Chapter 134 Don't kill all the stubborn enemies for the big man, don't return to the middle land

A month later.

Outside Dunhuang city, inside the long pavilion.

A good banquet was set up on the table, and the three of them sat around and toasted frequently.

They were the three great heroes of the Han Dynasty who won the great victory in Jinyang five years ago-Liu Yan, Zhang Huan and Duan Jiong.

However, five years later, the circumstances of the three are quite different.

Liu Yan is still a great hero of the Han Dynasty, the official residence of Liangzhou Mu, the general of the Western Regions, and the guardian of the Western Regions.

Zhang Huan was on the wrong team in that monstrous coup, and his reputation was ruined throughout his life. He was ashamed of being an official in the court and returned home.

Not to mention Duan Jiong, who willingly degenerates and works as a minion for a tiger, and his reputation is stinky for eight hundred miles.

If Liu Yan hadn't let Dongchang make arrangements, he would have died in the court prison in Luoyang.

In fact, Duan Jiong has already committed suicide in fear of crime in the official announcement of the court.

Today, it is Liu Yan and Zhang Huan's welcome banquet for Duan Jiong.

Three rounds of wine, five flavors of food.

Finally, Duan Jiong couldn't hold back the doubts in his heart, and asked: "So the old man heard from Wei Factory Governor that the champion can wash away the eternal infamy for Duan. I don't know the champion, why teach me?"

Liu Yan did not answer directly, but changed the subject, saying: "How about it, today, I will tell a story to two old generals, Zhang and Duan."

"what story?"

"A story about the Yitian sword and the dragon-slaying sword. It is said that there is a saying in the martial arts: the supreme martial arts, the sword slays the dragon. Command the world, no one dares not to obey. Yitian does not come out, who will fight..."

Of course, Liu Yan couldn't remember the specific plot of the story, but just introduced the general content, which took more than half an hour.

Both Duan Jiong and Zhang Huan are outstanding people in the world, extremely smart, of course they are not only attracted by the swords, lights and swords of the story, and become thoughtful.

Duan Jiong vaguely seemed to realize something, and said, "The meaning of what Champion Hou said is..."

Liu Yandao: "The meaning of this Marquis is very simple. The dragon-slaying knife and the Yitian sword are the two sharpest weapons in the world. When a good man learns about it, it can bring peace to the world and return the people to a bright future.

The bad guys learned that they could slaughter innocent people, causing bloody storms.And you, General Zhang, are my dragon-slaying knife.

General Duan, you are the Yitian Sword of my big man!The first emperor won you two to fight against the Xiongnu, put down the chaos of the Qiang, and make the world peaceful.Later, the imperial court had no way, and the two of them, even though they were magic weapons, could only help the evildoers commit crimes and owe a heinous debt of blood. "

With a bitter face, Duan Jiong said, "I understand what Champion Hou meant. You mean, we are unparalleled sharp weapons, and there is no good or evil. The key is who controls us. But, we are human after all. It’s not a utensil. How can the eternal infamy be washed away just for these reasons?”
