Cang Ri Qing Lan

Haoxuan Guang'an's "Palace" is located in the north of the center of the hub city. The mansion is not big, but the front hall is grand and grand, and it can be seen at a glance that it has been renovated.

Under the palace steps, there are layers of armored soldiers, surrounded by water.

The blood-red setting sun filled the main hall, and seven or eight corpses were lying on the steps. There was indeed a gray-haired man in a Chinese dress in the hall, trembling, not even half of the air of a royal family.

"Put him down!"

Zhu Wu came out in a row and ordered the soldiers to take Haoxuan Guang'an into custody, suddenly he saw Zun Shan stepping forward with a stern expression and lifted Haoxuan Guang'an's robe, he was puzzled and said,

"General Shan Shan...?"

Before he finished speaking, he immediately found that Haoxuan Guang'an's trousers were wet, and even the ground was covered with water stains, so he was startled again.

Lu Dan didn't answer, he drew his knife and slashed at Haoxuan Guang'an. Zhu Wu was shocked, and saw Haoxuan Guang'an fell to the ground, his crotch was cut open, and there was nothing left.

"He's not Haoxuan Guang'an."

Without a single explanation, Zhu Wu could also see that the earthy eunuch was definitely not Haoxuan Guang'an,

"Order the whole army! Haoxuan Guang'an...!"

"Command the whole army that Haoxuan Guang'an has been captured, but don't let any remaining party go." A voice from far to near cut off Zhu Wu's words, "Put him on the high platform and order the defenders in the city to surrender."

"General!"

Zhu Wu was overjoyed and hurried out to meet him.

It wasn't until Yi Yan climbed the steps steadily that he saw that half of the opponent's face was covered with blood, and even a little bit of dark red leaked out of the armor, but the calm and calm as always was enough for him to feel at ease.

Lu Dan also heaved a sigh of relief, and then listened to Yi Yan,

"Zhu Wu, you gather all the captives in the vestibule, collect the bills, go to the granary to count the grain and grass, reward the soldiers, and load the rest into the grain cart."

Lu Shan agreed, but Zhu Wu hesitated and said,

"Forgive me for your boldness, the general doesn't plan to garrison the city?"

"The hub city is easy to attack and difficult to defend, so it is not suitable for garrisoning. Take Haoxuan Guang'an, take a short rest, and withdraw the troops tomorrow."

After receiving Yi Yan's affirmative answer, Zhu Wu couldn't help but said again,

"But it's not easy for our army..."

"General Zhu Wu, the general has his own calculations."

One-way.

Compared with the petty gains of winning a small city, avoiding a head-on confrontation with Bei Ling is the best choice at present.

After all, it took so much effort to get Beiling and Linxue to fight. If Beiling was allowed to face the enemy, Linxue's profits would exceed expectations.Moreover, the emperor who has just ascended the throne also needs to free up his hands to weaken the dignitaries of the states in the country.

It is absolutely wise to withdraw from the hub city as soon as possible, while Lun Dan changed his mind, he was also secretly surprised, this is no longer like a general, but closer to the insight of an emperor.

Why is this barbarian general who seems to know how to fight so far-sighted?

Cang Lan woke up very early that day, walked out of the bedroom, suddenly felt a little strange,

"Punishment night?"

"Your Majesty, the villain is Mi Ke."

The person flashing out of the shadows was indeed not Xing Ye, Cang Lan frowned, put on her robe, and walked towards the bathing pool, saying,

"Have you been with Helian for a long time?"

"As long as the villain can remember, he was the slave of the master's family, and most of the people who came to the country with the master are like this." Mi Ke hesitated for a moment, and followed behind and said, "But most of them have been ordered to sneak into the states of the country. Did they report their whereabouts?"

As expected, Cang Lan didn't need to report at all. From Helian Yuya's personality, it was not difficult to know the opponent's method. This was undoubtedly planning to cut off the power of the states.

The consolidation of a regime is bound to be accompanied by darkness that no one knows about. If Helian Yuya hadn't arranged for these, he would have done it himself sooner or later—he had already prepared Chen Hai to make friends with the dignitaries of the states, to be exact , is the right-hand man of the powerful.

All this is just waiting for Yi Yan's good news.

The breeze was blowing slowly, and above the dark palace, the clear blue sky in the morning seemed to be an extremely familiar color.

Cang Lan stopped for a moment, and was about to continue to the bathing pool when she faintly heard voices, as if they were arguing about something in a low voice.Subconsciously turned the direction, followed the sound and walked, and sure enough, the person who spoke from a distance was Xing Ye.

"Leng Tian, ​​from now on you will be on duty outside the palace, and someone will call you when the lord needs your guard when he leaves the palace."

Clearly he didn't want to say more, Xing Yefei was about to leave as soon as he finished speaking, Leng Zhou hurriedly said,

"Why doesn't the emperor want me to accompany you? Could it be that he has already treated you..."

"You dare to talk about what the lord thinks!" Xing Ye said coldly, paused, and then said, "I am the one who will transfer you, if you offend the lord like this again, one day catastrophe will strike you. "

"Do you have the right to say that about me?" Leng Zhou said angrily, "That red-haired man is the emperor's new favorite, he dares to attack you in front of the emperor!"

"You'd better forget about him now."

Not knowing what to think of, Xing Ye stared at Leng Tian for a while, then said,

"I'm not the cold night I used to be."

"Don't you have a surname of Leng to be so humble!" Leng Zhou was furious, "Aside from dying for the emperor, do you still want to please him physically?! You..."

"I don't think your lesson is enough."

He didn't want to ask about the quarrel between the brothers, but Cang Lan finally walked out from the side of the corridor when he heard this.

Seeing that it was Cang Lan, the two people who were about to draw their swords were startled, and then they knelt down one after another. Obviously their minds were disturbed, and they didn't notice his approach at all.

"Xing Ye, come here." Cang Lan grabbed Xing Ye who came to him, pressed him against the wall, and said word by word in a voice that could be heard by everyone present, "Don't let me hear someone Dare to insult you like this again, including your former brother."

"Lord..."

"Do you want me to tell you how to do it?" Cang Lan said calmly after sweeping through the cold day that turned pale with fright, "When you meet this kind of person in the future, no matter who it is, you can cut it first and then play it, and then have the body stripped When it’s all gone, hang it at the entrance of the vegetable market to show the public.”

Cang Lan seemed quite satisfied seeing Leng Ri's color changing from blue to purple, and turned to Xing Ye, only to find that the person in his arms was also extremely nervous, lowered her voice, and said with a light smile,

"If you can do it, I will let you live in my bedroom, how about it?"

"Your Majesty! You said..."

This remark was not only unexpected by Xing Ye, but Leng Ri, who was crawling on the ground, cried out aloud.

But Cang Lan lowered her head, kissed Xing Ye, slipped her hand under the skirt of her clothes and moved it until the other party was almost unsteady, then stretched out her hand to support him, and said to Leng Ri leisurely,

"I've changed my mind. If anyone has any dissatisfaction, they can come to me." Cang Lan said, smiling, but Sen Leng was abnormal, "But first prepare for the funeral, maybe there will be a substitute left in the Leng family." You are the person who collects the corpse."

Leng Zhou finally didn't dare to make a sound anymore, how could he know that before, Cang Lan would directly make the voices he didn't want to hear disappear, and dealt with it silently, so why would he use such bluff threats.

The more scruples, the more troubles, Cang Lan smiled wryly in her heart, and found that Xing Ye was still staring at her face in a daze, she smoothed the hair on the other's forehead and whispered,

"I'm planning to go north and meet King Jing at the border of Jingjing. You go to pick the frame guards. Keep everything simple."

Hearing this sudden decision, Xing Ye just woke up as if he had just woken up from a dream, and stood up straight against the wall, hesitant while blushing.

"Master, do you want to travel in micro-service?"

"It will take more than a month to go back and forth, and nothing will happen."

The first goal after straightening out the country should be Beiling. It would be great to be able to stabilize the Jing Kingdom when the war starts. Besides, Cang Lan really wants to see this king of Jing who still has his own reputation for lewdness and immorality. .

The pivot city was brightly lit all night, and at dawn, the burning bonfires were still glowing red.

The vestibule of the palace was densely packed with people, and many of them were sweating profusely, not because of the heat of the flames, but because of fear.

"General, all the people in the city are gathered here, how should we deal with it?"

Zhu Wu crossed his hands and said.

After a busy day and night, I couldn't find Haoxuan Guang'an.But with so many prisoners of war, if they were all escorted back, they would become a burden if they encountered rescue troops, so he was naturally anxious.

Yi Yan didn't answer, but slowly climbed up the stone steps in front of the court, and said in a loud voice,

"I'll give you half a stick of incense time, those who have meritorious officials and nobles will go forward!" After the voice spread far away amidst the noise of the people, he ordered again,

"Burning incense!"

The louder the noise from the lower steps, half of the stick of incense turned into ashes and fell down, and it was about to burn out, only three or four people squeezed to the front from the crowd.Yi Yan stared at them for a moment, then suddenly said sharply,

"The incense is gone, the rest of the people are all killed!"

"...General?!"

With the defenders and the people in the city, there are nearly ten thousand people in the vestibule. Are you going to kill them all? !

Zhu Wu was still doubting his ears, but Li Dan had already stepped forward and passed on the order.

Suddenly, there was howling in the vestibule, and the place where the knife flashed was even more chaotic.The person who stood up before didn't know what the result was, he just stared dumbfounded, and opened his mouth to plead with Yi Yan, but when he caught a glimpse of those blue eyes, his words turned into shivering.

Only then did the officials and generals mixed in the crowd start yelling and pushing forward desperately.

Yi Yan didn't stop him, and when hundreds of people stumbled towards him, he ordered the soldiers to stop and brought the eunuch in fine clothes to him, saying in a deep voice,

"Who is Haoxuan Guang'an here?"

Everyone suddenly realized that when they were panicking, one person stood up and pointed to the end of the crowd.

"General, the Second Highness is here."

As if being rushed away by an invisible force, everyone avoided the direction the man was pointing at, and the people who shrank behind were immediately revealed.

Although his face was disheveled, he couldn't hide his indignation and fear. The guards immediately rushed forward and took off the man's hood, only to see his silver-gray hair.

When the escorted eunuch saw the man, he fell to his knees with a plop——

The facts were as clear as snow, Haoxuan Guangan's face was ashen, and he didn't hide anymore, he scolded in a hissed voice,

"Ruxin, you actually betrayed your owner in order to earn a living, you..."

"Your Highness, if I don't identify you, someone else will recognize you."

Ruxin is not ashamed,

"What's more, the enemy broke the city because you are too greedy for life and afraid of death. If your highness is like this, how can you blame us?"

The city of Shucheng was broken and Haoxuan Guang'an was captured. The news spread to New City almost at the same time as the farce in Shucheng ended.

The morale of New City was completely low, and the army led by Jin Duo was well-stocked and there were many engineers and soldiers.

Three days later, the former Northwest Garrison led by Feng Yansheng arrived to respond, capturing isolated cities along the way.

Seven days later, all the counties in Yizhou that Haoxuan Guang'an ruled in surrendered.

Since then, all the prefectures that supported Haoxuan Guang'an have gone, and all the 61 counties in Kyushu of the Great Emperor Dynasty have come under the rule of the new emperor Haoxuan Canglan.
