Chapter 232 Nine Years of Shunde
Chapter 232 Nine Years of Shunde
The scorching sun is high and the gold is shining, and the white clouds are floating and the birds are flying quietly.
The green grass in midsummer along the river for ten miles was stained red with blood, and countless corpses and overturned carriages were lying on the river beach.
Liu Wenxing was hanging upside down outside the carriage with his eyes open. A group of soldiers with blue cloth strips tied to their arms searched for him. When they saw him, they pointed at him with their knives.One of them stuck it up to see his facial features, nodded, and immediately cut off his head with a knife, and took the head away.
"Escape! Escape up the mountain road! Find a safe cave to hide..."
Before the shouter finished shouting, a bloody hole was opened on the top of his head, and his eyes fell down.
Gong'er saw the whole process clearly.
She should have screamed, it's normal for a girl in her teens to scream when she sees such a bloody scene, but she was already numb, only her heart skipped a beat, and even her face showed very little change.
Since Runing was destroyed in the fifth year of Zhaowu, she and Empress Dowager Geng had fled for nearly three years.During the three years they were besieged, they lived and died for a moment, and after several twists and turns, they finally fell into the hands of Liu Wenxing.The imperial grandmother felt that they were safe. After all, Liu Wenxing was Geng's worshiper, so he would definitely treat them well.But Gong'er didn't think so.
She knew very well that she was just a pawn of the Geng clan, a trapped canary, both she and the imperial grandmother.
Geng and Liu claimed that she was the orthodox heir to the throne and Dayu's real son of heaven.
Accompanied by this slogan, they planned how to kill Wei and Changsun and Li Feng from morning to night every day, but no one ever asked her if she wanted to be the emperor.
Ever since she was chosen by the first emperor to be the prince and named "King of Zhiqiu", no one has asked her what she thinks, and no one has cared about her.
Staying in Julu, she is just a puppet.Leaving Julu, she is still a puppet.
The Yan family is aggressively attacking the Liu family, and how many forces are still watching secretly.The giant deer was destroyed, why is she running away now?
Gong'er watched Yan's knights running towards her, and stood still without moving.Liu's soldiers desperately picked her up and threw her on the horse's back, and ran up the mountain like crazy.
"What are you doing standing there stupidly! Do you want to die!" the man yelled into her ear.
Gong'er didn't speak, just sneered.
Liu Jiajun and Geng's army fought fewer and fewer people, and finally there were no carriages when they went up the mountain.
Empress Dowager Geng sprained her foot and could not ride a horse, so she was carried up the mountain by soldiers.She kept calling down the mountain, calling Gong'er's name.Empress Dowager Geng's hair is all white, and she is completely different from the empress dowager who was pampered in the Forbidden Garden. Now she does not have any luxurious clothes, and she does not look as well maintained as an ordinary princess.All these years of being dependent on Gong'er, she has long regarded Gong'er as her own granddaughter, but now she can't see Gong'er, and she is very anxious.
Gong'er was soon sent up the mountain, Gong'er said: "Give us a horse, I can ride a horse."
Empress Dowager Geng was still wondering: "When did you learn it?"
Gong'er got on the horse and stretched out her hand: "If possible, I don't think I will ever have to learn."
Gong'er has grown up rapidly over the years, when she was in Runing, she was thin, small, white and tender, no matter how you look at it, she is just a child.In the third year, Julu grew wildly like bamboo shoots and became darker. Without the dignity of the royal children, he was more powerful, able to surround the Queen Mother in front of him and protect him.
"Emperor Grandmother, listen to me." The two sat on the horse one behind the other, and Gong'er whispered in Empress Dowager Geng's ear, "If we follow these people, we will be doomed. If you trust me, follow me, maybe we can escape A catastrophe."
"What? You want to escape by yourself?"
"I want to take you away. The Yan family is in Jingji County. I have read in books that all the cities in Jingji County are built between mountains and fields. Their soldiers and horses must be very suitable for mountains. If they choose to run up the mountains, they must We are looking for a dead end. We have to go down the mountain and continue to walk along the waterway. Grandmother, I remember you can swim, and if necessary, we have to abandon our horses and enter the river. These mountain villagers may not be good at water."
"But, but..." When Empress Dowager Geng was still hesitating, the Yan family's army came rushing down the mountain like wildfire, and in an instant they had outflanked from three directions.Gong'er didn't have time to wait for the queen mother to agree, so she whipped the whip down hard, and the horse started to run wildly in pain.
Empress Dowager Geng's heart hung in her throat. She had never run so fast on a fierce horse. The mountain road was bumpy up and down. After the ups and downs, Empress Dowager Geng felt nauseous and her face turned blue.
There was still the sound of horseshoes chasing after her. The Empress Dowager Geng covered her mouth and wanted to look back. Gong'er asked her to concentrate, and the most important thing was to ensure that she didn't fall off the horse.
Just as Gong'er said, the soldiers and horses of the Yan family's army galloped extremely fast on the mountain road, as if walking on flat ground, they had already killed the Liu family's army who was trying to escape, and followed closely behind Gong'er's horse, laughing wildly.
The arrogant and obscene laughter and whistles made Empress Dowager Geng's scalp tingle. If it fell into the hands of these people, no one knew what terrible things would happen.
"Grandmother..." Gong'er was covered in sweat, and her hands were worn out by the reins, but her eyes were always locked in front of her, and she reminded again, "Concentrate!"
The pursuers were about to catch up, and even started shooting arrows to stop them.
"How dare...how dare they! After all, the Ai family is also the Empress Dowager!" Empress Dowager Geng's eyes turned red with anger.
"Grandmother, to these soldiers we are objects that can be claimed, and to their masters we are useful knives! It doesn't matter if you are missing an arm or a leg, as long as you are alive! We are not in the Forbidden Garden anymore, Empress After three years of death, it's time to see clearly!"
Gong'er exposed something that Empress Dowager Geng knew a long time ago but never wanted to admit.
"Huaichen, she's not dead! As long as I haven't seen her dead body for a day, Aijia will not admit that she is dead!"
"Even if the imperial grandmother doesn't admit it, it is a fact that the empress is dead!"
"You!" Empress Dowager Geng was speechless.
The iron cavalry was approaching, and Gong'er rode the horse towards the rapids down the mountain.The horse's ass was shot by an arrow, and the horse became frightened and became uncontrollable. Gong'er and Queen Mother Geng were knocked to the ground several times.
"Inhale!"
Almost at the same time as he was shouting, Gong'er pushed Empress Dowager Geng off the horse and fell into the river.Empress Dowager Geng screamed and was swept away by the raging river.Gong'er grew up by the river since she was a child and has excellent water skills, she flew into the water and quickly caught up with Empress Dowager Geng, grabbing her out of the water.
Although Empress Dowager Geng was a little watery, the river was so fast that she couldn't control her hands and legs when she was extremely panicked.After choking on a few mouthfuls of water, he managed to grab this life-saving straw, and climbed onto Gong'er with all his might.The most taboo thing for people who fell into the water is nervous and random grabbing. No matter how good Gong'er's water skills are, she can't hold back the panicked Empress Dowager Geng.
Just when the two were about to drown, someone fished them up.
Gong'er vomited several times and finally regained consciousness.
Seeing many blue cloth strips in a daze, she knew it was over and fell into Yan's hands.
"Come on, tie them up!"
Empress Dowager Geng yelled: "Ai family, let's see who dares to move!"
"Hmph, Empress Dowager Geng, it's been two years in Shunde, is it possible that the Empress Dowager is still dreaming of an old dream and is reluctant to wake up?" Yan Jiajun said, "Come on, tie it up, do you want me to do it myself?"
The soldiers were holding the ropes and were about to step forward, Gong'er turned around, holding a short knife in his hand and cut off a finger very viciously.
The screams did make Yan Jiajun hesitate for a while, and he didn't go forward immediately.
"Gong'er..." Empress Dowager Geng closed her eyes in pain, "Forget it, struggling is just suffering. Let's end it ourselves."
Gong'er stared at each of them with a dagger in her hand, trying to write down all their faces, and squeezed each word out from between her teeth: "It's best to kill us here, if we don't die, one day we will die." I will come back and take your dog's life!"
Everyone laughed, and the laughter still echoed on the river beach.
"Okay, okay, I'm waiting for you." The captain personally came up to grab her knife. She didn't know how to use a sword and only relied on a brute force to fight. The captain saw her make a fool of herself and said "ouch!" Shouting loudly, with a light sweep of her feet, Gong'er lost her balance and fell to the ground.When she fell, the lieutenant tore her clothes, and when she landed on the dirty mud, a large piece of white snow was exposed on her chest.
Gong'er didn't care about anything, she immediately pulled back the neckline, her cheeks were blushing as she stared at the ground.
"Captain, don't do these things, so as not to cause trouble." A centurion reminded him.
"What's so scary? Mr. Yan said, arresting the descendants of the rebellious party, you have to see the dead and see the dead. What do you think I misunderstood what Mr. Yan said? Hmph, that Rui Wang is plotting to usurp the throne and take over my country so much." After many years, now that Empress Dowager Geng and this little one have fallen into the hands of our school captain, this school captain is venting his anger for the real Emperor Ming and the people of the world! What do you know!"
The centurion didn't dare to say any more after being scolded, and shrank back.
The captain licked his dry lips and was about to come forward again. Gong'er lay on the ground and tugged at the skirt of his clothes, looking at the dagger not far away.
The captain noticed her gaze and kicked the dagger away.
The captain stretched out his hand to touch her back, but Gong'er kept lying down without any movement.
Empress Dowager Geng shouted desperately from the sidelines, but no one paid any attention to her.
"It seems that you gave up resisting, so be good, don't suffer a little, I promise you will be gentle to..."
Gong'er turned around suddenly, and pierced another short knife hidden on her body into the captain's eyes.
The captain covered his blood-spitting eyes and yelled. At this moment, a sharp arrow flew from nowhere and pierced the chests of all the soldiers, and the soldiers fell to the ground in rows.The captain drew his sword immediately, before the sword was sheathed, countless blood holes were shot out of his body by the arrow, and he fell to the ground.
But in the blink of an eye all the pursuers were shot.Gong'er and Empress Dowager Geng were dumbfounded looking at the surrounding corpses.
"Who is this...?" Empress Dowager Geng came over and hugged Gong'er.
Gong'er imitated the stories in the picture books she secretly read when she was a child, and said loudly: "Which hero came to the rescue, please show up and see!"
In the midst of the catastrophe, there are actually people who come to help and turn the danger into good fortune. God has eyes!It seems that the two of them should not die!
Gong'er and Empress Dowager Geng had not been happy for a long time, and it was Wei Shi who they wanted to eat his flesh and drink his blood day and night!
Wei Tingxu sat alone on the white horse, wearing silver armor, although he didn't hold a weapon, but the person on the black horse beside him was better than all weapons.Zhen Wenjun was wearing a black heavy armor and a phoenix-winged hood on his head. His long red tassel fluttered above his head, looking down at the poor grandparents and grandchildren on the ground.
Wei Tingxu greeted with a smile: "Empress Dowager Geng, don't come here unharmed."
When Empress Dowager Geng saw this person, she thought of her Huai Chen vomiting blood and losing her sight. She was so angry that her teeth itched, and she yelled: "Wei Zizhuo, you bastard! If you have the ability, kill Aijia! Aijia will turn into a ghost Haunting you day and night!"
Wei Tingxu seemed to agree with her words and nodded.
Gong'er has always heard the emperor's grandmother say that Wei Zizhuo is so sinister, vicious and vicious, a traitor who shows neither emotions nor emotions.But the woman in front of her is probably the most beautiful among all the men and women Gong'er has ever seen, and she is also very gentle.When she smiled and spoke to them, she didn't feel aggressive, instead... Gong Er pondered on Wei Tingxu's face, as if she was waiting for the other party to speak.
Zhen Wenjun saw that the little lady's clothes were torn open, she was really out of style, so he tore off his cloak and threw it to her.
Gong'er: "...Thank you General."
Zhen Wenjun's action completely convinced Gong'er what she was thinking.
"Kill Aijia quickly! Don't talk so much nonsense!" Empress Dowager Geng shouted.
Her Empress Dowager Geng really hated Wei Tingxu so much, as long as the word "Wei" was mentioned, she would lose her mind.
Wei Tingxu showed an expression of "that's the case", and the soldiers around him would soon come up and take them.
"Wait a minute, Miss Wei... No, Wei..." Gong'er thought for a long time, remembering that she is the secretary supervisor, "Secretary supervisor! We, grandparents and grandchildren, have fallen into your hands now, and we have never thought of surviving, but we It's not good for you to die! On the contrary, if we can continue to live, it will be in your best interest."
"Oh? How should I say it?" Wei Tingxu asked her.
Gong'er said: "Today when the Wei family sent troops, I'm afraid not a few people know about it. If the emperor's grandmother and I died here, the people in the world would be sure that the secretary prison was the chief culprit who poisoned the late emperor and forced the empress dowager and King Zhiqiu to death. Those ballads Wouldn't the content sung in the song come true? I'm afraid that the infamy like jackal fox ambition will always follow the secretary's supervision. But if His Majesty is asked to issue an edict to forgive our lives, then everyone in the world will know that the secretary The prison treats the orphan of Emperor Min well, and he is a benevolent person. The rumors about Emperor Min being poisoned before will be self-defeating. Then let the emperor's grandmother write a crime letter in the name of the queen mother, acknowledging all the deeds of how he entrapped the real Emperor Ming back then. Even if the empress dowager and I continue to live, we will not be able to pose a threat to the emperor and the secretary supervisor. This way of killing two birds with one stone, the secretary supervisor will not object." Finally, Gong'er turned to Zhen Wenjun with tears in her eyes Said, "I just ask the secretary supervisor and the general to give us a quiet place for our grandparents and grandchildren to spend the rest of our lives!"
Gong'er's words were the most important purpose of Wei Tingxu's coming to Julu. I thought Empress Dowager Geng could understand it, but who knew that it was this 13-year-old kid who said those words in the end.
Wei Tingxu looked at her carefully, and saw that although her words were moving, there was no begging for mercy in her eyes.
This is just her strategy, not begging for mercy.
Gong'er didn't even put down the dagger.
Wei Tingxu neither agreed nor refused, turned his horse and left.
Gong'er and Empress Dowager Geng looked at each other in dismay, until someone drove a carriage to ask them to get in, Gong'er was relieved, and the cold sweat dripped down from his body at this moment.
Gong'er asked the coachman for water, and gave it to Empress Dowager Geng to drink, but Empress Dowager Geng didn't drink it, but said a word instead:
"Huai Chen said back then that you looked like a human being."
Gong'er: "Who?"
"Like that Wei Zizhuo."
Gong'er was stunned for a moment, until the carriage started to rumble away, Gong'er said:
"That's why she doesn't intend to pass the throne to me, does she?"
Empress Dowager Geng looked at Gong'er, the sharpness and danger in Gong'er's eyes were exactly the same as that of Wei Zizhuo.
