The Ugly Empress

Xue Junliang lowered his head and stared at the people on the ground, laughed angrily, and said, "Oh? You are so lonely? What are you capable of saying that you are so lonely? Are you just a ridiculous guard?"

Teng Yun laughed again, closed his eyes, and simply didn't look at him, as if he was very disdainful, Xue Junliang's appearance was not worth his attention.

Xue Junliang said: "Are you unconvinced? How can you be unconvinced?"

Teng Yun didn't open his eyes, but said weakly: "To die at the hands of a self-righteous king like you... I am naturally not convinced."

"it is good!"

Xue Junliang sneered and said, "I am self-righteous? Is there anyone in the world who can be like me, who is only one step away from controlling the whole world!"

"It's just your step..." Teng Yun laughed, coughed up a mouthful of blood suddenly, and said, "It's a pity that your step...will ruin your reputation! Xue Junliang, you should ask yourself to underestimate the enemy. The world, when the time comes, you will be attacked from both sides, will your world be able to survive! Are you worthy of the soldiers and common people who have been born and died with you!"

After Teng Yun finished speaking in one breath, he stretched out his hand to cover his chest, blood overflowed from the corner of his mouth, spraying on the wool carpet of the Nuan Pavilion almost like a bank.

Xue Junliang was stunned for a moment. He never thought that the other party could say such a thing, but he quickly put away his stupefaction and said contemptuously: "Anyone can say it. Is it possible that you still have a plan to retreat? You are so insulting Gu, I think the punishment is not enough!"

Blood gushed up from Teng Yun's throat, so he could only suppress it, his eyes lost focus, and said, "You are not Teng Zhengxuan...you were not born at that time, so you can only bow your head to him..."

He was breathing weakly as he spoke, and Xue Junliang faintly heard him say "I've never been afraid of you" at the end. He couldn't hear clearly after that, but he probably heard some "arrow", but he didn't have time to think about it. What the other party said, "Teng Zhengxuan "But it was like a heavy stone hitting his chest.

Firstly, because Xue Junliang remembered the late queen, he had told himself many stories about Teng Zhengxuan.Secondly... it was because Xue Junliang was enlightened by this sentence. It was this sentence that made him suddenly understand how to defend against the enemy.

Seeing that he had fainted, Xue Junliang turned his head to Jiang Yu and said indifferently, "Call the imperial doctor. He died in the entire imperial hospital to pay for his life."

Jiang Yu shivered in fright. Ever since King Xue began to favor the queen, he had never spoken in such a tone, and Xue Junliang had gradually become more humane, but now, everything seemed to be back to the past.Xue Junliang is actually a cruel, suspicious, and arbitrary person. It can be said that the common faults of all kings are not exempt from him.

Jiang Yu hurriedly ran to call the imperial physician, Xue Houyang was also a little dazed, and hurried

Call the palace people to carry away the unconscious man.

After all, Teng Yun was a prisoner or a death row prisoner, so it was impossible for him to stay in the palace. Even if the imperial doctor came to check his pulse, Xue Junliang would not pity him, and threw him back into the prison.

Jiang Yu had no choice but to let the imperial doctor condescend to go to the prison to treat his wounds.

Teng Yun's injury was serious, if it was just a skin injury, it would be fine, but besides the skin injury, Teng Yun also had blood in his body, Mr. Jailer didn't just look bloody on the surface.

The imperial doctor knew that he was a prisoner, and Jiang Yu meant that he should not let him die, just let him hang for a while, so the imperial doctor only cured his bruises, and did not care much about the skin trauma.

Teng Yun was a little cold. He knew he must have a fever. After so many years of marching and fighting, he naturally knew the consequences of not treating his wounds, but now he is a prisoner and can only bear it.

Teng Yun closed his eyes, rested against the damp wall, and fell asleep unconsciously. He dreamed that he was back many years ago and was still fighting Xue Houyang. He vaguely knew it was a dream, but he couldn't extricate himself. There are corpses everywhere, ruins...

Teng Yun felt that his breathing was being suffocated. At this time, his waist and eyes hurt, and his body struggled like a fish, and then he woke up from the dream.

The jailer kicked him and shouted: "Don't pretend to be dead, get up!"

Teng Yun struggled to open his eyes, and finally walked out of the dream. He sighed reluctantly, his whole body seemed drained of strength, and collapsed in the corner of the wall. If he hadn't leaned against the wall with his back, he would definitely be lying on the ground at this time.

The prisoner wanted to kick him again, but someone stopped him. The voice was very familiar. Teng Yun couldn't help opening his eyes, and there was a man standing a few steps away. It was the Wannian Hou Xue Houyang.

Xue Houyang looked at the blood on the ground and frowned, but he also felt that he had asked for all of this, his face darkened, and he said to the guard: "Can he talk?"

The jailer nodded and bowed, and said with a smile: "No problem, no problem. The imperial doctor has been here and is alive and well. I'm afraid my son has just woken up, and he hasn't woken up to take a nap yet."

Teng Yun sneered, it turned out that he hadn't woken up before taking a nap.

Xue Houyang looked at him, wondering where the guard suddenly got the confidence to talk to King Xue like this, but Xue Junliang didn't kill him, and even sent the imperial doctor to treat the illness.

Teng Yun opened his mouth, and said weakly: "Is it for the self-righteous King Xue that the Marquis of Wannian condescends?"

He had no strength and his voice was too low for Xue Houyang to hear clearly, so he asked the guard next to him what he said, the guard stood close and heard him, but he didn't dare to say it, wouldn't it be a crime of beheading if he said it?

Seeing this scene, Teng Yun laughed out loud.

Xue

Seeing him smiling like this, Houyang also felt that he would not die for a while, so he said to the prison guard: "Let the imperial doctor come and see it again, you guys will look at me if I neglect you."

The prisoner hurriedly responded, then nodded and bowed and sent Wannianhou out. He sent Wannianhou out for a long time before returning. When he came back, he spit into the prison and said with a smile: "What kind of shit, you have to die sooner or later. Let the grandpas serve you?"

Teng Yun closed his eyes again. It was not the first time he had encountered this kind of treatment. At that time, the whole army was captured, and Teng Yun was treated in the same way. Now there is only one arrow left to pierce the heart. ...

He didn't distinguish between day and night in the prison. He stayed there for an unknown amount of time, but the prison guard suddenly came to drink him again, saying that King Xue was going to be interrogated.

Teng Yun didn't have the strength to walk at all, so he was carried into the hall by the guards and thrown to the ground.

Xue Junliang stood with his back not far away, knowing that he had come, he didn't look back, he just asked, "How does it feel in prison?"

Teng Yun smiled and said, "I have experienced even the bitterest...how could you be afraid of this?"

Xue Junliang said: "You have the backbone, dare to talk back to Gu?"

"Because I know there are reasons why I can't die."

"it is good."

Xue Junliang turned around and said, "Then tell me, why doesn't Gu not kill you! Do you think Gu doesn't want to peel your skin or constrict your tendons now? Gu wants to cut you into pieces, but he's afraid of you It's too easy to die."

Teng Yun showed no sign of fear at all, and said, "You don't kill me, isn't it because you want to hear my advice on how to defend against the enemy?"

"Why are you?"

Xue Junliang stared at him. Although this man was weak and thin, his gaze was firm, and he was not afraid of Xue Junliang at all.

"Do you think Gu would believe a fool who is so stupid as to set the Yunfeng Palace on fire?"

Teng Yun laughed and stopped arguing with him, but said: "King Xue wants to annex the world, and to tell you the truth, you are indeed the only hero in the world, but now King Feng seizes the opportunity of Xue Guo's discord to attack , I’m sure you can’t win this battle.”

Xue Junliang sneered and said: "Then you have a way to make Gu Ying? If you have a way, don't mention capital crimes, being a marquis and worshiping a minister is a matter of a single sentence."

Teng Yun laughed, and Xue Junliang said, "You don't believe me?"

Teng Yun said: "I laugh at you, not because I don't believe what you say, but because I laugh at the emperor Bo Liang. It is rumored that King Xue is sad about the queen's death, but the life of a queen is still too light compared to the world."

Hearing this, Xue Junliang stared at him, and slammed all the folders on the table and table on the ground with his hands. The small incense burner hit the ground, and the lid popped out far away, hitting Teng Yun's chest.

His hands trembled a little, his tone was still calm, but his throat rolled slightly, "You are so smart, everyone in the world is so smart, you all know that I have a cold nature, I just burned a queen to death, the emperor's harem More than three thousand beauties..."

For the first time, Teng Yun didn't dare to look at Xue Junliang, and looked away. At this moment, he felt strange, why Xue Junliang suddenly became angry, and why he didn't feel well. , the heart was like twisted wet clothes, stirring together made him uncomfortable.

Teng Yun changed the subject and said: "I dare not be appointed as a Marquis or Prime Minister. If I can help King Xue fight back from the enemy, then please allow me to leave the palace."

Only then did Xue Junliang regain his composure, and resumed his usual style, saying: "You are confident?"

"If it fails, King Xue will try his best to repay the old and new hatred together."

Xue Junliang laughed, as if the phrase "new enmity, old enmity" suits him very well, this laugh sounds quite eerie.

"Okay, Gu will take advantage of your wishes and see how miserable your death will be."

Teng Yundao: "At present, the king is ordering troops, maybe there will be a sneak attack in the near future, the villain begs His Majesty to send someone."

"You said, who do you want to help you? After ten thousand years, no one is better than him in war. Do you want to dispatch him?"

Teng Yun said with a smile: "The villain dare not send Lord Hou. I only heard that His Majesty has Cheng Tian's old army in his hands. He wants these three people, plus a thousand infantry."

"Oh... 1000 people."

"One thousand and three."

Xue Junliang looked at him and said, "Gu never knew where did you get your confidence and ability?"

Teng Yun said: "The villain wants these thousand and three men, not to retreat from the enemy. Even if the villain is arrogant, he dare not take a thousand soldiers and horses to fight King Feng...I just use these people to subdue Teng's soldiers and horses. , with one mind and one effort, we will be able to defeat the enemy."

"I'll lend it to you, but the three of the He family are only loyal to..."

As Xue Junliang spoke, he lost his mind for a moment, and then said: "These three people are only loyal to the queen, and they have surly temperaments. They can't be forced at that time, so don't blame them for being ruthless and merciless."

"I have my own way to subdue the three of them."

Xue Junliang asked people to call the three members of the He family. The three members of the He family were all dressed in mourning clothes. When they saw Teng Yun, they thought it was Teng Ying who set fire to him. He drew his sword and was about to cut Teng Yun. three people.

Xue Junliang sat on the big chair and said: "The three of you are lonely confidantes, the empress recommended that day... I still remember it vividly."

he said with eyes

His eyes seemed a little red, even when he heard the news of the queen's death that day, his eyes were never red.

Hearing what he said, the three brothers of the He family couldn't help thinking of the queen, and the three big men couldn't help but began to wipe their tears.

For a while, the hall was quiet and no one spoke. Xue Junliang paused, and then began to say again: "You three are loyal to the queen. Gu has never questioned it. Now Teng Ying boasted that he could rely on a thousand infantry Let Teng Guo return to his heart, if Teng Ying is executed now, it will certainly relieve his hatred, but it will inevitably cause dissatisfaction."

He Zhong said angrily: "How dare he refuse to accept?"

Xue Junliang said: "I came here to ask you to follow him and see what he is capable of. If it is not completed by then, he will be at your disposal."

When the three of them heard the last sentence, they put their anger back into their stomachs. Wouldn't it be best if this guard could be dealt with by them, so as to save waiting for others to deal with the mother-in-law.

Teng Yun looked at Xue Junliang's actions, and sneered in his heart. How should he treat Xue Junliang? His feelings have always been unpredictable, sometimes sad and sometimes cold. He felt that he seemed to have figured out Xue Junliang's background for so long. , but now it seems that there is still a long way to go, too far away.

Xue Junliang said a few more words, nothing more than missing the past. The He brothers might not be able to hear their simple thoughts, but Teng Yun could hear them very clearly. These words just wanted to impress the three of them, so that they could keep a close eye on themselves and keep a close eye on him. Don't take the opportunity to run away.

And these three people were still wiping their tears in a daze. Sure enough, the difference between the monarch and his ministers is here. Not only is their status superior to others, but they also have deeper thoughts than others.

Xue Junliang waited for the crowd to retreat before he sighed. Jiang Yu stood aside and said, "Your Majesty... pass on the meal?"

Xue Junliang didn't speak for a long time, and then said after a while: "I don't have any appetite, let's talk about it tonight."

Jiang Yu was silent for a while, and said: "Although your majesty doesn't say anything, this old slave has been with you for so many years, so I still know more or less... If your majesty is sad, you can talk to this old slave..."

Xue Junliang raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "How do you know that Gu is sad? Gu is pretending to be seen by the three He brothers."

"His Majesty……"

Jiang Yu lowered his head and said: "Others don't understand you, this old slave has been with you for decades, if you don't understand you anymore, you don't have to stand here..."

Xue Junliang didn't speak, and his eyes didn't know where to gather, he said with a smile: "Gu lost his empress, lost his talents, just now he knows what it means to be savvy... But he can't touch Xue Yu, he can't touch Teng Nanhou, Gu is one of ten thousand people. Go up, but it's no match for Teng Zhengxuan."

"Your Majesty, don't say that."

Jiang Yu said: "Of course Teng Zhengxuan

He is a hero all his life, but he has never endured such patience. He has been straightforward all his life. An knows that if he encounters such a thing, he can handle it better than His Majesty.Your Majesty... Even old slaves know that it is easy to open up borders, but difficult to defend them. "

After a pause, Jiang Yu said again: "Your Majesty, your feelings for the empress... even the old slave can see it."

Teng Yun didn't go back to prison, and soon he was promoted, and he was allocated [-] infantrymen and the three members of the He family.

Of course Teng Yun knew that Xue Junliang couldn't let him go, and this was just a tactic to slow down the army. Even if he could really retreat from the enemy, it would still be a death sentence if the king turned his face like a book.

But Teng Yun can't pass his own test. If he doesn't make a move, Xue Junliang will be beaten by Fengming, and both sides will suffer. He is a man who has led soldiers before. He has seen corpses everywhere, so how could he just watch everyone helplessly? Both lose.

Moreover, King Teng is gone, and King Teng has become Marquis of Teng Nan. Teng Yun doesn't know what else he wants. His lifelong loyalty has been made into a wedding dress by his father, and he dedicated it to Xue Junliang in order to save his life...

After the soldiers were ordered, most of these people would not accept him. Teng Yun didn't think about how majestic this body was, how many people could obey him. Teng Yun also knew Teng Ying. , got along very well in the capital.

Teng Yun didn't ask them to go to the battlefield, so it's useless to refuse to accept it. Teng Yun summoned them and told them to rush to Teng country to build a temple.

When everyone heard this, they stopped doing it. They were the most capable guards in the imperial army, and they were one of a thousand talents. How could they work as hard workers to build temples? This is simply humiliating them.

It's just that the imperial decree came down soon, making these guards have to listen to Teng Yun's words.

When Xue Junliang heard Teng Yun say, "You are not Teng Zhengxuan...you were not born at that time, so you can only bow your head to him...", it was like enlightenment, and he was secretly surprised that this guard had such a great talent. In a word, it really is a clever plan to retreat from the enemy.

Now that I heard that he wants to send a thousand soldiers to build temples, it is even more certain that this person is not a vulgar person.

What he said was correct, Xue Junliang was not Teng Zhengxuan, if he wanted the Teng people to return, he had to bow to Teng Zhengxuan.

This man is the most beloved king of the Teng Kingdom. If Xue Junliang is willing to send someone to build a temple for him, everything will change.

King Teng is cruel and fatuous. The people of Teng Kingdom know these things. There have been countless uprisings over the years, and the people have almost reached the limit of anger. If Xue Junliang shows his kindness to them, the people and soldiers will be simple-minded. , it is impossible not to surrender.

And Teng Yun thought so, a thousand well-trained guards went to build the temple, coupled with Xue Junliang's imperial decree, there was no need to go to war, and the people would not be disturbed. Maybe the people would come to join the army if they were grateful. With the expansion of troops, no wonder he is so sure of victory.

Teng Yun didn't delay for a moment. No one can tell if Feng Wang will attack soon. Even though he is still wounded, he will leave immediately with his soldiers. If everything is settled as soon as possible, he also wants to get out earlier. There are so many things After experiencing everything, Teng Yun will always be tired, and he can no longer tell who is right.

Xue Junliang wrote a book and asked local officials to help build the temple. This momentum will naturally be bigger and more spectacular, the better, so that all Teng people know that he can build a temple for the former emperor of Teng, and Xue Junliang is also sympathetic!

After Xue Junliang finished writing the letter, he was hurriedly taken there, and then he sighed. He was puzzled, why would someone who could come up with such a non-combatant plan burn down the Yunfeng Palace in a daze?

He really couldn't figure it out, even if this person had a grudge against the queen, he wouldn't listen to Teng Qianyi's instigation and set fire to it, or set it on fire himself, and was caught by Xue Houyang...
