My country is dead again [Rebirth]

After nightfall, they arrived at Xingzhou in the southeast of Yaozhou. The point directly above this place was between Xishan and Cangzhou. It cannot be completely removed.

The assassination in the previous life still happened as scheduled, and the guards didn't know whether they were really vulnerable, or if someone obstructed it and did nothing at all. In short, after they met the enemy face to face, they had no choice but to abandon their camp and retreat.

Those who assassinated were not assassins, but to be precise, they were a well-trained elite cavalry, who were good at archery and seemed to be familiar with this place.

Shen Ci was already prepared, and asked Jin Yiwei and the cavalry of the two thousand and three major battalions to escort Xie Ruzhuo first, drew out his knife, turned around, and said to Song Qing: "You follow your majesty, don't ride in a carriage, take your majesty to ride. Will stay alive."

Song Qinglai had no objection, but Xie Ruzhuo, who was about to mount his horse, turned his head when he heard this, with cold eyes, gritted his teeth and said, "I disagree! Shen Ci, what did I tell you before, that you must listen to me! I won't let you Leave me! Let's go together!"

The Jin Yiwei and soldiers around were startled, staring at Xie Ruzhuo in a daze, feeling the sudden silence around them, and went to look at Shen Ci silently.

Shen Ci, who was about to leave, was actually stunned. Even if Xie Ruzhuo told him that he was reborn, he couldn't understand why Xie Ruzhuo's emotions suddenly became so intense.

Xie Ruzhuo's appearance at this time was a little frightening, he seemed to be haunted by some evil spirit, his eyes were so red that they were about to bleed, he locked Shen Ci firmly without blinking, like a hunter staring at a person who had fallen into a trap The prey is afraid that if he blinks, the prey will disappear in front of his eyes.

He himself didn't know what was going on, and the tone in his heart was inexplicable. The long scar on Shen Ci's shoulder in his previous life was still lingering in his mind, even though he still had many wounds left on the battlefield, That scar is still very eye-catching, and it hurts his heart every time he looks at it.

Since God gave him a chance to live a new life, he just wanted to put aside all the regrets of his previous life, otherwise he would also be in trouble in this life.

The situation was critical, and Shen Ci only blinked silently for two seconds before quickly making a decision, winking at Song Qinglai, who understood, nodded and said, "I'm going to leave, I'm going to go. Shen Jingjing will take His Majesty to go first. "

The enemy's arrows from the rear were approaching, and the sound of the breaking wind was almost in his ears. Shen Ci lifted an arrow and shot an arrow flying. He scooped Xie Ruzhuo onto his horse with his hand, shouted "go", and rode his horse towards the plain Run, there are so many of them, and when they reach Pingchuan wilderness, without terrain cover, the opponent has nowhere to hide, just encircle and suppress.

The wind at night whistled past the ears, and the scenery around him receded quickly. Xie Ruzhuo and Shen Ci stuck together, galloping at night, with the sound of fighting behind them. It should be a more tense time, but Xie Ruzhuo gradually calmed down down.

His eyes became as quiet as a deep pool again, and his back was leaning against Shen Ci's chest. The warmth dispelled the coolness brought by the wind, and the familiar temperature was like a handful of warm currents, calming the restlessness of the internal organs, and also Flushed away the worry about gain and loss that was about to annihilate him like a tide.

Shen Ci didn't speak, but he could feel that Xie Ruzhuo had returned to normal and was no longer as excited as before. Xie Ruzhuo carefully squeezed the hand holding the rein. Seeing that he didn't respond, that slightly cold hand wrapped it gently again. He came up and stroked his knuckles.

"Your Majesty, it's all right." Although Shen Ci still had doubts in his heart, he could see Xie Ruzhuo's nervousness and comforted him softly.

There were no lights in the field, it was pitch black, and there was no moon in the sky, so the vision was even darker. Xie Ruzhuo remained silent for a long time, and when the sounds behind him became less dangerous and the horse slowed down, he responded, "Yes." ,never mind."

Running ahead in a hurry, Shen Ci held the rein with his right hand, and clasped his left hand tightly on Xie Ruzhuo's waist, almost holding him in his arms. The people are finishing up, once they reach the plain, that group will have no advantage, and it will not take much effort to pack them up. They reacted more promptly in this life, and ended earlier than the previous life.

Shen Ci asked softly: "Is Your Majesty worried that the minister is in danger?"

Xie Ruzhuo had already realized that he had lost his composure earlier, and he was a little guilty at this moment, but the lingering fear and unreasonable paranoid emotion were real, and he asked in a muffled voice: "Shen Ci, is it just for me? Will you not put your own safety in your heart, and it doesn't matter if you get hurt or die?"

Shen Ci opened his mouth, surprised that Xie Ruzhuo's previous gaffe was the reason, he curled his fingers slightly, with the phalanges against Xie Ruzhuo's palm, and carefully thought about the answer to this question.

He did remember that they were assassinated by King Yan when they returned in the previous life. Even though he had noticed and guessed before, he was still surprised that the other party was well-prepared, and he thought for a long time before he remembered that he seemed to have been hurt in this assassination. Point hurt.

It can only be said that it seems to be injured, because he really can't remember.

For him, this is not something worth remembering for the rest of his life. He still has to think about it in this life. He was injured many times in his previous life, and all of his deaths were caused by fatal arrow wounds, whether it was assassination or danger on the battlefield. , he felt insignificant.

Xie Ruzhuo is his life, the person he promised to protect when he was 11 years old, fighting for him, getting hurt for him, dying for him, these are all things he will do out of instinct.Xie Ruzhuo asked him more than once if it was worth it, but he never thought it was worth it. Xie Ruzhuo had him in his heart, and it was the most desired thing he could get in his life. He didn't want anything else, so he Nothing to go, no need for these unnecessary considerations.

Facing Xie Ruzhuo in this life, the lingering tenderness and sour heartache always overwhelm all doubts, Shen Ci thought, maybe he neglected many things in the previous life, Xie Ruzhuo should always worry about gains and losses like this, afraid that he will leave, afraid that he will hate him I was afraid that he would leave me alone on the high platform, but they rarely confided their hearts calmly because of all kinds of emotional quarrels.

At the end of the previous life, he really left, leaving Xie Ruzhuo to spend the rest of his life alone.

Shen Ci held Xie Ruzhuo's hand instead, let the horse walk slowly on the field, and said in a low voice: "As long as His Majesty is well, I really don't care about it. But I will not put myself in danger at will. Among them, because... rather than dying for His Majesty, I want to stay by His Majesty's side more, just like the promise, to always protect His Majesty, for the rest of my life."

Before Xie Ruzhuo and the others arrived in Lezhou, everyone knew that the emperor was assassinated on the way back, and when he returned to the court, all the ministers were in a rage.

"I heard that the group of people are very familiar with the terrain. Obviously, they have been prepared for a long time. There must be someone in Xingzhou to respond." Sun Bingde has actually found out who is behind the assassination, but such a big event has to be placed on the court. Talking about it on the stage, the cabinet also has to be concerned, "Your Majesty should first ask the officials of Xingzhou and the generals of the guards to be held accountable. After the investigation is completed, compare it with the statement of the assassin before making a decision."

Xie Ruzhuo's expression was still very tired, as if he was exhausted and frightened, his face paled a lot because of this, he waved his hand wearily, and said: "Jin Yiwei has already asked the person behind the scenes, it is my good uncle Yan Wang. Ning Ya is far away from Xingzhou. How could those people in Xingzhou have the ability to collude with King Yan. I don’t want to investigate this matter any more, and I don’t want to involve Xingzhou officials.”

Everyone knew clearly that the purpose of the assassins was not to kill the emperor. All fools know that it is almost impossible to send such a few people to kill the emperor from the hands of more than 1 soldiers from the three major battalions. They are the King Yan faction Come to die.

As for the real purpose, it was that King Yan was tired of staying in Ningya and wanted to protest with the court.

"King Yan's ability to enter Suifang to ambush me so easily is telling us that he has long been connected with someone we can't afford to offend. We can't touch that person, so naturally we can't touch him either." Xie Ruzhuo pressed his eyebrows and said, " As for who it is, Zhu Qing should know it in his heart."

Everyone was silent, Wu Xianrong had already entered the capital, and sent two thousand cavalry, which was a posture that had been negotiated with the court, there was no need to collude with King Yan to assassinate the emperor, then only Pei Yuankai remained on the other side of Xingzhou.

The speed at which the imperial court resolved the two troubles of Wu Xianrong and Qi Junmao was so fast that no one could have expected it. The remaining Song Qingge, who was already facing the imperial court, Pei Yuankai was indeed a little panicked. In addition, the imperial court had already released the news that the guards would be investigated. , Just when King Yan came to the door, the two hit it off, joined forces, and challenged the court, and then threatened and lured them, and then decided whether to form an alliance with the court to gain some benefits, or to fight to the death.

"King Yan's intention is that he wants to form an alliance with us, so he made such a demonstration, which is also a test." Sun Bingde said, "Now our first priority is to deal with Xu Zishen. If we want to devote our minds to dealing with King Yan, we may be at a loss. According to what I see , it is better to agree to form an alliance with King Yan first, and then reduce the power of the vassal king after returning to Pingdu."

Several people in the cabinet and all the ministers agreed.

What he said was well-founded, Xie Ruzhuo thought about it in his previous life and felt that it was the best way at the moment.

But the previous life proved that, let alone returning to Pingdu, after ten years in Lezhou, they became their own forces in the later period. The Pei family fell, and King Yan was no longer a threat. It would be difficult to cut power even a little bit.

Once you give King Yan the sweetness and show weakness to him, you will give him the fertilizer to grow stronger. After a few years, it will become an unshakable big tree. Unless the roots are uprooted, pruning the branches and leaves will not change the tree The roots have grown deep.

Xie Ruzhuo lightly pursed his lower lip, he didn't want to form an alliance with King Yan in this life, but he actually had selfish motives.

The death of King Yan was the last straw that made him break with Shen Ci in his previous life. After Shen Ci was gone, when he recalled the past countless times, he always wondered if Shen Ci would not have left if he hadn't made a promise with King Yan back then. Even if you can't stay together forever, it's better than being separated forever.

Therefore, in this life, he will never agree to form an alliance with King Yan anyway. King Yan is not Pei Yuankai and Wu Xianrong, but a royal vassal who supports the army, and he is still his few living elders. It will be more troublesome to suppress, but At the point where he can't see each other, he and King Yan will have a decisive battle one day, the winner is the king and the loser is Kou, that's all.

At that time... Will Shen Ci rush into the rain again with a knife in his hand?

"It's not as simple as you think to form an alliance with King Yan. It seems that it is not difficult to cut power in the future, but it will definitely hinder you a lot." Xie Ruzhuo looked more and more tired, "You will all regret it then."

Sun Bingde said: "Then His Majesty's intention is to declare war with King Yan? But if King Yan and Xu Zishen join forces, coupled with the forces in the northern border, our situation will be even more worrying."

"Of course I know." Xie Ruzhuo said, "So I will act first and deal with Xu Zishen after dealing with Ning Ya's King Yan." Seeing that Sun Bingde hesitated to speak, he continued, "Xu Zishen will not allow the Dayu royal family to People share the world with him, so he will not take the initiative to find King Yan. If we attack Ning Ya, he will ignore King Yan's plea for help, and it is very possible to attack our rear. But we will be fully prepared when the time comes, It’s not impossible.”

Sun Bingde was also aware of Xie Ruzhuo's worries about King Yan. The successive emperors of Dayu were very wary of the power of the vassal kings. If Hui Zong hadn't done nothing, King Yan wouldn't be where he is today, but the method Xie Ruzhuo said was still too risky.

Thinking of this, he frowned slightly again, feeling that the love of taking risks is really similar to that Shen Ci, both of them seem to have everything in mind, even if it is an adventure, it is an adventure that can control everything.

Really weird.

Seeing that most of the ministers still couldn't understand the need to declare war with King Yan, Xie Ruzhuo was not in a hurry, he let out a tired breath, and said: "Let's discuss this matter later, I will discuss it with the cabinet again."

Sun Bingde saw that the emperor did not directly make a decision, so he nodded along with the situation, and sent the emperor back to the palace with his ministers, and returned to the cabinet after returning to the court.
