History of Yongwu

Kaiyang

"Shangshu Zhao, the prince was assassinated!" The guard looked up at Zhao Zhiping and passed out before he could say a word.

Zhao Zhiping hurried over, put his finger under the guard's nose, and ordered, "Wake him up immediately, and don't allow anyone to see him after he wakes up."

"Yes"

Zhao Zhiping stood up with a calm face, but his trembling palms betrayed him by saying "someone prepares the car"

Kaiyang Military Camp

"Mr. Zhao, but what is your order?" Wang Meng asked in the tent.

"General Wang" Zhao Zhiping's heart has recovered a little, watching him think for a long time, he said, "The prince was assassinated"

"Assassinated!" Wang Meng was shocked, but he didn't see too much panic. He stepped forward and asked, "Is it serious?"

"General, the prince was assassinated yesterday, and the guards returned to Kaiyang alone to report the letter." Zhao Zhiping silenced his voice, looked at Wang Meng intently, and said no more.

Returning to Kaiyang alone... Wang Meng muttered, his eyes widened suddenly, "You mean the prince was assassinated, now..."

He suddenly didn't know what to say. It was different from King Jin's whereabouts in the north. At that time, King Jin had Jiang Zhengwen's army by his side, so his life was not necessarily in danger.But it is different now, Dongyang rebels are roaming around, Jin Wang was assassinated and only one guard escaped back, so it is hard to say whether Jin Wang is dead or alive.

"General, we must stabilize the northern border army, and we must not let Daliang know about this."

"Okay, what do you want sir to do?" Wang Meng's face straightened.

"I will approve the official document from Daliang on my behalf. The general will go to the northern border army and take over the northern border army with the order of King Jin. If Song Yi has any doubts, he will kill him immediately," Zhao Zhiping said firmly.

"Where is the edict"

"Correction"

Mr. Zhao's face was calm, but Wang Meng agreed after a little hesitation. Although the imperial edict is a capital crime, the life and death of King Jin is uncertain, and there is no time to think about it.

"I'll make arrangements right now, leave the army in the care of the gentleman, and head to the northern border immediately," Wang Meng said, turning and leaving.

Zhao Zhiping stood where he was, with a gloomy expression, when the military tent was lifted again, and Wang Meng stood at the door.

"Sir, if... the prince is really..."

Taking over the northern border army, preventing changes, blocking news, and stabilizing the beams are all based on King Jin coming back alive, but if King Jin is really dead, what is the point of doing all this.

"No!" Zhao Zhiping shook his head. Seeing that Wang Meng was still worried, he continued, "Don't worry, general, I will give the general an explanation."

"The last general will retire." Wang Meng solemnly clasped his fists in return.

Still in the dense forest in the mountains, Nangong Yuliang carefully looked at King Jin beside him, and climbed up from the cliff. King Jin's lively appearance suddenly disappeared, and he froze a lot, and stopped talking.

Did he deliberately talk to the camera?

"arrive"

King Jin's voice was low and hoarse, Nangong Yuliang came back to his senses and found that they had finally reached a small village with people.

"Is anyone there?" Qin Yu put his hand on the fence and looked into the courtyard.

Nangong Yuliang saw that King Jin suddenly regained his energy, and there was no sign of injury at all, and his smile was full of honesty.

"Who is it?" An old woman in her 50s with silver hair came out and stood in the courtyard watching the two of them from a distance, a little vigilant.

"Grandma, the two of us met bandits and lost our way, can we stay with you for a while?" Qin Yu pulled the corners of his lips, trying his best to recall how he was when he was young and ignorant.

"My son is not at home." The old woman hesitated, looked at the distressed appearance of the two and said, "You can rest here for a while, wait for my son to come back, and see if he will let you stay overnight."

"Thank you, thank you"

The old man opened the courtyard door, Qin Yu and Nangong Yuliang sat in the courtyard, the old man poured tea for them, Qin Yu finally took a sip of hot water after several days, but unexpectedly, his throat hurt when he entered the tea.

cough cough cough

"Is it hot?" the old man asked quickly.

"It's not hot, thank you very much." Qin Yu smiled, pinched the cup, and drank in small sips.

The old woman moved the bench, sat opposite the two of them, and looked at the young man in black robe next to him. His body was covered in mud and water, his hair was crooked, and his face was ashamed. The other one was obviously much better, at least his face Clean and delicate.

"Where did you and your young master meet bandits?" The old man poured tea for Qin Yu again.

Master?Qin Yu glanced to the side, and said without hesitation, "In Yaocheng"

"Then why did you come here?"

"We lost our way and ran around in the mountains. Fortunately, we saw people living here." Nangong Yuliang replied with a smile. He wanted to say that they were brothers, but he gave up when King Jin didn't explain.

The sun passed across the middle sky little by little, the old man said a few words casually and went away on his own. Nangong Yuliang kept looking at King Jin carefully. Although King Jin tried his best to maintain his spirit, the cold sweat on his forehead was getting worse and worse. Nangong Yuliang was very afraid that King Jin would faint.

"king··"

"Shhh" Qin Yu interrupted him, shook his head and said "it's okay" he said, his eyes gliding to the old man inside the house.

Nangong Yuliang shook her head heartily, King Jin was too defensive, even against an old woman who was powerless.

"Mother, I'm back." The courtyard door was pushed open, a middle-aged man walked in, and saw the two of them stunned for a moment.

"I'm back." The old man greeted him, smiled and pointed at Qin Yu, "They said they met bandits and got lost and wanted to stay there."

The middle-aged man nodded, handed the things to the old woman, and walked straight towards them. Nangong Yuliang caught a glimpse of Prince Jin's back straightening instantly, as if he was ready to attack at any time.

"You met bandits?"

"Yes." Nangong Yuliang smiled slightly and cupped his hands and said, "I'm bothering you, brother, we really can't do anything, please let me stay with you for a night."

"It's so messy outside now, it's hard for the two of you." After the middle-aged man finished speaking, he led the two of them to the next room and said, "Young master, you are welcome."

The old man simply made some food, and it was already dark after eating. Nangong Yuliang thanked the mother and son, and then took King Jin back to the house to rest.

This is a room where sundries are piled up, and there is still a musty smell in the room. Qin Yu collapsed on the opposite bed as soon as he entered the door, and finally couldn't hold on anymore.

"My lord?" Nangong Yuliang called out tentatively. King Jin closed his eyes and didn't make a sound. Just as he was about to step forward to check, King Jin suddenly asked in a low voice, "What's the matter?"

"My lord's injury should be bandaged"

"Let's talk tomorrow"

King Jin glanced at him and closed it again, not wanting to say more, Nangong Yuliang agreed, and lay down silently, feeling a little uncomfortable in his heart.He and King Jin lived and died together, but once it was a little safer, the cautiousness exuded by King Jin came out, even him was no exception.

This time, His Royal Highness Prince Jin was indeed wronged. Qin Yu was not full enough to support himself, and a whole room was on guard, so how could he be on guard.He was just tired, very tired. He had persisted for so many days, it was already the limit, and now he just wanted to have a good sleep.

Just because he didn't listen to the doctor's advice, His Royal Highness King Jin felt retribution!

a day later

Opening his eyes a little, Qin Yu looked out the window, the sun was fading, it should be evening, and he looked at the dark beams above his head, for a moment he felt that he was back on Mount Qi.

His thoughts gradually became clear, Qin Yu remembered his situation, and suddenly wanted to get up, but overestimated himself "Hiss!"

"You're awake." Nangong Yuliang dozed off while sitting on the stool next to him, and was surprised to see him wake up. "Lie down first, don't move around."

Qin Yu glanced at Priest Nangong, with dark circles under his eyes, a little grateful in his heart, moved his lips and said, "I'm a little thirsty"

Nangong Yuliang got up to pour water, Qin Yu looked around, then took another look at himself, when Nangong Yuliang came back, he took the teacup, took a sip and said, "How many days have I slept?"

"One day and one night" Nangong Yuliang looked out the window.

Not too long, Qin Yu lowered his head and continued to drink water, without looking up, he asked, "Where are my clothes?"

"The broken one was thrown away, I borrowed one from Brother Song"

"What about things?"

Nangong Yuliang was startled, frowned lightly, took out King Jin's seal token from his bosom and said, "Here, don't worry, my lord, no one will find out"

Probably because his body recovered, Qin Yu's keen intuition came back again, and he felt that the priest seemed a little displeased, so he looked at it and said softly, "You keep it!"

"Don't dare to take on this important task." Nangong Yuliang put the things away, turned and went out.

Qin Yu looked at the trembling door panel from behind, a little inexplicable, what kind of anger is this, isn't it for you to hold it?

courtyard

The old man "Young Master" saw him come out and asked with a smile, "Is your servant awake?"

"I'm awake, thank you." Nangong Yuliang smiled at the old man, then turned around to look inside the room.

King Jin is really too cold, it seems that he can't gain his trust no matter what, whether it is himself or the mother and son of the Song family, just after waking up, they are worried about whether they will be betrayed.

King Jin ordered him to take the seal, but Nangong Yuliang didn't dare. He was actually a little worried that this always cautious and cold King Jin would turn himself into a scapegoat at a critical moment. Heart.

"He just woke up, he would be better off with some porridge." Grandma Song brought him a bowl of porridge and a side dish.

Nangong Yuliang withdrew his thoughts, picked up the food, and felt for a moment that His Royal Highness King Jin didn't deserve such a good meal.

indoor

His Royal Highness King Jin still didn't know that Nangong Priest raised his insidiousness to such an extent. He lay on the bed and wondered for a while why the little priest changed his face as soon as he said it.

The door was pushed open, and he turned his head to see that it was Nangong Yuliang who entered the door carrying the food.

“Just Hungry”

Nangong Yuliang didn't speak, put the food in front of him, turned around and lay down on the opposite side.His Royal Highness Prince Jin touched his nose, feeling a little puzzled, but he was immediately attracted by the fragrance of rice.

next day

Qin Yu was injured and needed to recuperate for a day. Brother Song went out to hunt, and Nangong Yuliang followed him up the mountain to collect herbs.

"Grandma" Qin Yu sat on the bench and asked the old man beside him, "Where is the nearest city from here?"

"Hill City"

"Then how?"

Grandma Song showed him the way, Qin Yu looked up at the sky, Nangong Yuliang and that brother Song haven't come back yet, isn't there some danger?

Just as Qin Yu stood up impatiently, Nangong Yuliang entered the door with Brother Song side by side.

"Mom, I'm back"

"What did you hit? Let me see"

Grandma Song greeted her, His Royal Highness King Jin hesitated for a moment, but remembered her identity and greeted her too.

"Master, you have worked hard." Qin Yu took the things in Nangong Yuliang's hand, looked at him and asked, "Why did you go so long?"

"Yeah." Nangong Yuliang glanced at him and walked over.

The corner of Qin Yu's mouth twitched, he really regarded the king as his servant, he followed, poured a cup of tea for Nangong Priest, and said, "Grandma said that the nearest Qiucheng is half a day's journey away from us."

Nangong Yuliang lowered his head and wondered what he was thinking, Qin Yu felt bored, and suddenly saw the gift in Brother Song's hand, his eyes lit up.

"There are still roe deer in this mountain." Qin Yu raised his head and asked, "Brother Song, where have you been?"

Nangong Yuliang frowned secretly, and took a deep look at King Jin, "It's just in the mountains next to him."

"..." His Royal Highness King Jin looked at him very strangely, and simply got up and left to ask Brother Song. He just wanted to know where he was, and he could come to hunt when Dongyang was in peace.

Nangong Yuliang kept looking at King Jin, and when he heard that he was still asking about where he was going, he shook his head, sighed, and simply ignored it, the clearer will clear himself, and no one can cure King Jin's suspicion.

The sky was a bit gloomy, the four of them went to bed early, Qin Yu lay on the bed and looked at the top of his head and said, "We will set off at dawn tomorrow morning, there is no need to say hello to Brother Song and the others, you can leave some money for them!"

The room fell silent, and after a long while, I heard Nangong Yuliang say "hmm" in a low voice.

As expected, the pattering rain fell in the night, and the rain gradually became heavier. At dawn, it was already a little disturbing, and there was no light in the sky. Although the sound of the rain was disturbing, this time is still the time when people sleep the most.

A burst of chaotic footsteps sounded from far to near, as if they had broken through the fence outside the courtyard. Qin Yu turned over and fell asleep in a dream, then sat up. Nangong Yuliang also heard the sound and sat up. He was about to light the lamp, Qin Yu interrupted.

"Don't light the lamp, get dressed"

There was a burst of flames in the yard, followed by a scream, Nangong Yuliang recognized it was Grandma Song, pushed open the door and ran out, Qin Yu was stunned and hurried after her.

The courtyard was in chaos, and in the light of the torches, several fierce-looking people could be seen holding on to Grandma Song. Brother Song was fighting with two thugs, but he was the loser.

puff!The corner of Qin Yu's eye twitched, Brother Song's body collapsed to the ground, the rebel drew out his long knife, saw the two of them out of the corner of his eye, and his expression changed.

"Two more"

"Kill, don't let go"

not good!Qin Yu grabbed Nangong Yuliang and turned around and ran away. Nangong Yuliang stood there stunned, staggering.

"Grandma Song is still here"

"It can't be saved!"

"Ah!!" There was another scream, more shrill than the previous one. Nangong Yuliang hurriedly turned his head. He couldn't see anything in the erratic firelight and the pitch-black night, but he still felt that Grandma Song was looking at him. Direction, die with peace! !

"What are you doing?" Qin Yu's arm trembled, and he quickly grabbed Nangong Yuliang who was running back.

"Song..."

"Go" Qin Yu looked at the rebels who were about to chase him, picked up Nangong Yuliang, and ran towards the deep mountains through the darkness.

The heavy rain poured down, as if responding to everything that happened behind him, Qin Yu subdued Nangong Yuliang, and ran crazily in the rain. The rain was muddy in front of his eyes, and he seemed to have seen the tragic situation of the Song family's mother and son in a daze.

The so-called suffering of the people, in fact, this king has never... really felt it!
