Chapter 9

In the middle

Because of the admiral's case, the king of Chu was bitten by officials under the canal and Liangjiang, the mob rebellion was suppressed, and the crowd of refugees aroused public anger at the king of Chu's party.In a fit of rage, the emperor deprived him of the title of Prince and demoted him to the rank of Prince of the County, in order to see the effect.

On the day when King Chengping returned to Jingcheng to return to his command, he got the imperial edict above the main hall.

In the 47th year of Nanping Yuanlie, the emperor's son Chengping Wang Ren Xicheng was handsome and diligent when he was young, with good morals, prudent behavior, and talents.Serve the national army, very respectful; serve parents, very filial; serve siblings, very close;

Therefore, King Chengping was canonized as King Qin.

In the 48th year of Yuanlie in Nanping, the emperor's son, Qin Wang Ren Xicheng, filial piety is formed by nature, and the son's way is not bad;Today's sage is getting older and weak in state affairs, and I'm afraid it won't be long.Therefore, the king of Qin was canonized as the prince of Jianguo, and he was bestowed with the seal of Donggong Book Treasure, and took charge of the government.The queen assisted him, and the princes and county kings assisted him to strengthen the court.

Three days before the king of Qin was canonized as the crown prince, domestic turmoil broke out in the Western Jin Dynasty. The little prince was pushed to the throne of the Western Jin Dynasty as a puppet.Lord Wenhou and his son personally went to Xijiang to sit in town to resist the rebels.

Wen Guogong promised King Chu a year ago that if he entered the East Palace, he would hand over the evidence and inside information of the unjust case.Otherwise, keep silent until death.The thing that King Cheng Ping most resembles His Majesty is that he doesn't like to kill. As long as he behaves peacefully, at least he can continue to be exiled, leaving his whole family alive.

But today, the Holy One is critically ill, and the King of Chu has been driven to a dead end.The imperial concubine is the princess of Nanping and Nanjiang, and her family controls the military power in Nanjiang.The king of Chu wants to use the imperial concubine's oral order to call the Yunshu army in the southernmost border of Nanping to go north.

When Wen Guogong heard this, he immediately changed his words. He was willing to present his testimony and evidence. If the King of Chu succeeded in forcing the palace to rebel, he would use it in exchange for his family's comeback.

It was night, Wen Shuyue was sitting in the courtyard playing with the new porcelain cup An Hao brought, and drank with An Hao leisurely for a long time.

"What the king of Chu is doing now, no matter how I look at it, I don't think it's right." Wen Shuyue sighed slightly.

"What's wrong?" An Hao poured the sake into his mouth.

"Although he is not in the mansion now, according to the news from the secret sentry, he has sent gifts to the East Palace many times, as if he was trying to curry favor." Wen Shuyue said.

"But according to His Highness the Crown Prince's temperament, he has already moved into the East Palace, so he probably won't do anything again. What's more, His Highness the Crown Prince is busy with government affairs, and he has no intention to take care of him anymore." An Hao is now appointed by His Highness the Crown Prince, and goes to the East Palace every day Teach the eldest grandson of the emperor.So I know a lot about the prince's temperament.

"As long as His Majesty the Emperor is still here, the King of Chu should not be able to make any waves. But if the crown prince succeeds, I'm afraid it will be hard to explain." Wen Shuyue shook her head.

At this time, the figure of Qingmingtian Dark Whistleman appeared under the moonlight, he clasped his fists and said: "Deputy sect master, report urgently!"

"Say." Wen Shuyue put down the wine glass in his hand.

"News came from outside Jingcheng: the King of Chu is leaving the city and heading to the southern border!"

Wen Shuyue's pupils shrank slightly: "When did it happen!"

"Yesterday night." The dark whistle said.

"Yesterday's news, why didn't Boss Yang inform me!" Wen Shuyue suddenly felt uneasy.

The secret whistler paused: "Boss Yang...he yesterday..."

Wen Shuyue clenched her fists suddenly, and she already guessed the reason.An Hao put down his wine glass and asked, "Tell me, what happened to Boss Yang?"

"Boss Yang, he left the city with the King of Chu yesterday." The whistler nodded, not daring to raise his eyes to see Shuyue's expression.

Wen Shuyue calmly said, "Is there any other news?"

"Young Lord Ren has led a team out of the city to intercept the King of Chu for half a day. We only know the general direction, but we have not received any news about Young Lord Ren." It is the only way to go to southern Xinjiang.

Wen Shuyue took the blueprint, with an indifferent expression: "Prepare the horse."

"You're going to chase after him." An Hao frowned slightly.

"Otherwise? Go and chase after him," Wen Shuyue asked rhetorically.

"I'm not joking with you now! What time is this, can you be more serious! I beg you! No matter how good the martial arts of Prince Ren is, he is no match for the king of Chu who set up an ambush on the way to the southern border! !" An Hao was very worried about his tone.

Wen Shuyue patted him on the shoulder lightly, and said: "Don't worry, who am I? Qing Mingtian's deputy sect master. Can I chase Ren Xirui back?"

"But you are not..." An Hao hesitated to speak.

"What isn't it? I don't know how many years have passed, and my body has recovered a long time ago." Wen Shuyue waved his hand, "Hurry up and go back, I'm here."

An Hao hadn't seen him come out with a sword for a long time, but when he took the sword suddenly, he had to be invited out of the Hou Mansion by Wen Shuyue in doubt.

Seeing An Hao leave, the secret sentry got on the horse with Wen Shuyue: "This subordinate will return immediately after sending the deputy head out of the city."

Wen Shuyue urged the horse forward, and responded: "Okay."

Wen Shuyue brought Ren Wang's Yuling in front of the city gate, and said loudly: "I am the second son of the Wen family. I am leaving the city by the order of Prince Ren, and open the city gate quickly!"

This jade order was given to him by Ren Xirui to make it easier for him to travel when he lived in the Prince Ren's residence a few years ago.She never thought of taking it back, and Wen Shuyue also forgot to return it.It just so happened that it was somewhat useful today.

The two left the city smoothly, and Wen Shuyue stopped the man before they parted: "Hey, wait a minute. How many years have passed since I entered Qingmingtian to detoxify myself?"

The secret whistler thought for a while, and said: "It will take more than eight years to return to the deputy sect master."

Wen Shuyue was startled at first, then chuckled, pulled the reins and turned the horse's head, put her legs between the horse's belly, and galloped towards that road without looking back.

Looks like my days are... numbered.

As Wen Shuyue thought about it, a layer of gloomy gray gradually faded into the dark brown pupils.

It was the evening of the second day when Wen Shuyue chased to King Chu's tent.This is the border of the southern Xinjiang region tens of miles away from the outskirts of Jingcheng.

He sneaked into the camp, and after many twists and turns, he found the camp where King Chu was.To be precise, this is the camp where the prisoners were held.

The voice of the king of Chu came from the tent: "Ren Xirui, you'd better not go around in circles with me, I don't have that much patience."

"..."

"You are determined to oppose this king." The king of Chu sneered, "Don't forget, I have evidence to reverse the case of your father's treason. If you want it, you'd better submit obediently to me."

"I only have the seals of two second-rank military lords, why did you make such a fuss?" The voice of the person who was captured was indeed Ren Xirui.

Wen Shuyue's heart trembled.

"Do I still need this king to remind you who holds the military power in the northern border?" King Chu asked.

"His Royal Highness the King of Chu may have forgotten that the commander-in-chief is in the hands of General Wei, and of course the military power is in the hands of the current Holy Majesty." Ren Xirui seemed to have blood in his mouth, but his words were still clear.

"Since you speak so righteously...someone! Gag him and beat him until he agrees to cooperate with me!" King Chu was furious.

Wen Shuyue leaned forward slightly, bit her lower lip, thinking about how to rescue the people inside.Suddenly, a knife with a cold light stood straight on his shoulder.

Wen Shuyue reacted extremely quickly, and while dodging sideways, she drew out her saber and collided with the blade with a "clang".

"Who?" The king of Chu suddenly felt the movement outside the tent in the tent.

Wen Shuyue frowned slightly, turned around and wanted to hide in the bushes, but unexpectedly, a large number of soldiers rushed out from around the tent, all of them armed with weapons, as if they had expected it, and surrounded Wen Shuyue tightly.

The servant lifted up the curtain of the tent, and the king of Chu walked out of the tent with a smile, looked at his back and said, "I originally wanted to pick you up, but I didn't expect you to come to the door by yourself."

Wen Shuyue raised her left hand to straighten her long hair, turned around with her sword in hand, and smiled very calmly: "His Royal Highness Chu looks gentle, but when he smiles, he is an out-and-out image of a courtier." .”

"Ningchen hahahahaha, apart from you, I am afraid that there is no other person who dares to talk to this king like this." The king of Chu approached him step by step, "Your hands have been stained with the blood of many people, and they are still so white and tender."

Wen Shuyue was very calm, and said: "His Royal Highness Chu's intention sounds like a joke to me?"

"What you did just now was not a joke." King Chu took out the sword tassel he had given to Boss Yang from his sleeve, "Come, bring me here."

Two soldiers pressed Boss Yang and came forward.Seeing Wen Shuyue, he desperately broke away from the soldier's hand, threw himself at Wen Shuyue's feet and wailed, "Deputy sect master, deputy sect master! I'm sorry for you, but my only son is still serving in the army in southern Xinjiang. !Old slave...Old slave has no other choice..."

Wen Shuyue said coldly: "Do you know what the fate of betraying Qing Mingtian is?"

"This old slave knows, please give this old slave a good time!"

"As soon as Shen Zhizhengshi died, this king guessed it was you. I didn't expect that this king just checked and caught him. Are you people in Qing Mingtian so timid and afraid of getting into trouble? This king feels for you Poor." The King of Chu said, pressing the back of his hand caressingly against Wen Shuyue's cheek.

Wen Shuyue dodged his hand calmly, her face turned fierce for a moment, raised the hilt of the sword and pierced Boss Yang's forehead, into the soil, nailing his head firmly into the soil.The sound of swords and the sound of tearing flesh and blood was extremely clear.

The blood splattered on Wen Shuyue's black robe, like prints in the dark, bright red and translucent.

"Tell me, how can we let Ren Xirui go." Wen Shuyue looked up at him.

The king of Chu raised the corner of his mouth: "You are making a deal with this king"

"What do you think?" Wen Shuyue took a step back, narrowing her eyes slightly and staring at him.

"Aren't you worried that this king will bring your matter to the public, and the Wen family will suffer some kind of infamy?" King Chu approached him with a smile on his face.

"It's because I didn't think carefully before. I thought I was lucky enough to escape a catastrophe, but I didn't expect His Royal Highness Chu to use it like this." Wen Shuyue said in a deep voice.

The King of Chu chuckled, stretched his arms around his slender waist, Wen Shuyue's hands trembled slightly, and the hilt of his sword came out.The King of Chu stared into his eyes, and whispered softly, "What exchange do you have?"

Wen Shuyue had already figured it out on the way here.My own affairs will affect the entire Wen family. The Hou Mansion is a hereditary general. Anyone can raise killers, but declaring it to the world is tantamount to self-destructing the foundation.Even if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ascends the throne, the Wen family will never have the same stable scenery as it is today.

Lord Hou and his son are still fighting against the Western Jin Dynasty in Western Xinjiang. As the son of the family, he cannot allow hundreds of people in the Hou family to be buried with him for his own selfish desires.His Majesty the Emperor has not yet passed away, once the person he killed is made public, not only the Hou Mansion will be implicated, but even His Royal Highness the Crown Prince may not be able to escape unscathed.

As for Prince Ren's Mansion, if he wants to reorganize, clearing up the old prince's grievances is the most direct way. This is also a chance for His Royal Highness to be promoted.But Ren Xirui cannot and will not exchange all of this with the military power in his hand.Besides, the king of Chu is now trying to force him to surrender, if he can be freed and persuaded to stay out of the matter, it might not be a bad choice.

Wen Shuyue thought so far, slightly closed her eyelids: "I will go to southern Xinjiang with you."

King Chu leaned up to lick the corner of his mouth, kneaded his waist vigorously with his hands, and sighed: "The happiest thing about this king now is that he no longer has to avoid suspicion as before. Treat me and Yun Shu When the army gathers and wins the throne, it will be announced to the world that you will be named."

Wen Shuyue gently pushed his arm away, and said: "I just agreed to go to the southern border with His Highness, and did not say that I can be manipulated by His Highness at will."

The King of Chu was slightly taken aback, and then smiled: "It seems that this king really has to attack Ren Xirui. You really can do anything for him."

"Didn't you say...wait! He's just here..." Wen Shuyue's eyes widened suddenly, her body froze, and the blood ran from her palms to her heart.

I fell for it.But the voice from the person inside was indeed Ren Xirui's voice.What he said was indeed what Ren Xirui could say.

There is a kind of person in the folk who can conjure thousands of voices with just one mouth.It is not impossible to learn Ren Xirui's voice.

There were traces of fighting along the way, but it is not certain that Xi Rui was arrested, even if he was arrested, how could he not go all out to meet him just because he came? !

The second time, I lost my mind because of his life and death for the second time.

Wen Shuyue sarcastically grabbed the dagger prepared in advance in her sleeve, and stabbed herself in the stomach with her backhand.

How could I love him so much.

The author has something to say:

Recently, because of too many exams and papers, I almost forgot my novel

I'm wrong! ! !
