Prison Dragon

Chapter 157

Ao Chen slowly slid to the ground, bent over and coughed continuously, every time he coughed, countless blood splashed out and dissipated in the air.A vague howl came from his throat, but he was suppressed and dared not let it out.

Yang You followed him and knelt on the ground, trying to hold Ao Chen in his arms, but his fingers passed through Ao Chen's body.

Yang You was so frightened that he didn't respond, but just stared blankly at his hands.

this... this is...

"Ao Chen..." he muttered.

"Are you going to die?" Yang You asked sadly.

Ao Chen raised his head and saw two lines of clear tears streaming down Yang You's face, he wiped them off with his bloodstained fingertips, the tears together with the blood turned into frost and powder on his hands.

He has recovered the entity.

Yang You suddenly grabbed his hand and pressed it on his cheek, stepped forward to hold Ao Chen in his arms, choked up and said, "You're going to scare me to death."

Ao Chen wiped away the blood from his mouth with his hands indiscriminately, then relaxed his body and leaned against Yang You's arms, "Ah, it's really nothing, it's just a trivial matter."

Yang You was stunned, and then said heartbroken, "What nonsense, it's about the imperial court, no, it's about the dragon veins, right?"

He stood up in a panic and flipped through the memorial, opening it with trembling hands, "Look, it's the locust plague, right? After the locust plague, the people can't live. In addition, they are already dissatisfied with the court, and it is easy to trigger civil uprisings. Then these civil uprisings will happen." Like locusts, sweeping across the entire Qi country vigorously, right?"

He felt that his throat was suddenly stuffed to the brim, leaving no gaps, not to mention talking, even breathing was very difficult.

Ao Chen pulled the corner of his mouth slightly, and said lightly: "No, you will calm down soon. This is not a big problem."

"Ah... ah... ah..." Yang You patted his chest, but found that he couldn't produce anything other than tears, his lips gradually turned purple, and he took a quick breath.

Ao Chen pinched his chin with both hands, forced him to open his mouth, and guided him with a very soft voice: "Yang You, relax, take your time, breathe..."

Yang You looked into his eyes, slowed down his breathing following his rhythm, grabbed the clothes on his chest and coughed twice, his heart hurt like a knife instantly, he gritted his teeth and held back.

He even tasted blood in his mouth, Yang You gasped for a moment, and the two looked at each other in silence.

A feeling of numbness slowly spread from the fingertips to the left arm. Yang You squeezed his hand and said word by word, "I'll untie the formation for you."

For the first time, he urgently realized that his throne was sucking blood, and he was sucking Ao Chen's blood all the time.

The contract and formation back then were bound to drain Ao Chen's bone marrow, which was the greatest malice towards the two of them.

With trembling eyes, he said to himself, "I won't die, right? Gaozu definitely didn't want to kill his descendants, so I won't die, right..."

"Yang You!" Ao Chen shouted.

"It's just a pain, my body won't be hurt. When I wake up, I'll still be alone..." Yang You muttered and stood up, yearning to go outside.

Seeing with his own eyes that Ao Chen was damaged due to repeated twists and turns, he had no choice but to stand by and watch, and even because his suffering would definitely bring Yang You stability, he might as well celebrate with all the officials.

Where in the world is there such bloody and bone-destroying love?

Compared with the illusory pain he endured, what he couldn't stand was that Ao Chen would die in the real world.

He was temporarily dominated by his inner emotions, and he had completely put aside the shackles that bound him.

Ao Chen tried to stand up, but found that there was no extra strength to support his body to do this movement, so he could only sit on the spot and continue shouting: "Yang You!"

"Do you want to be the king of subjugation?!!!"

It was like a thunderclap.

The hairs on Yang You's back trembled, he turned his head in a daze, as if he didn't understand Ao Chen's words, "What are you talking about?"

"Come back." Ao Chen smiled with difficulty, and waved at him, "Good boy, come back. You don't want to do this."

"I think." An unprecedented grief came from Yang You's chest, "I thought."

As he spoke, he walked back and knelt beside Ao Chen.

"I thought about it." Ao Chen's face was blurry in tears.

"I really want to!"

Yang You roared angrily, as if he had exhausted all his strength, he slumped on the ground, his voice gradually became softer, "But I can't do it, Ao Chen."

"Why can't I do it?" Yang You covered his face and cried bitterly, "I hate myself so much, why can't I do it?"

There are too many things he is reluctant to bear, too many fates on his shoulders, he is afraid, he dare not, he is cowardly, and he backs down.

Didn't Ao Chen live for 800 years without unraveling the formation? So what if he can't undo it?

Isn't Ao Chen alive and well?They will also bully him and fight with him.

Facts always ruthlessly tear off his self-comforting masks and pretense.

Is Ao Chen really doing well?

Yang You thought, he just never said anything.

Don't say good things, don't say bad things.

It's really good, who would spend decades coaxing a child who has nothing to be the emperor?Can't you see it yourself?

Ao Chen hugged his head and kissed his hair, "It's okay, no one has done it before. It's nothing. Don't you want to be the emperor, then do it. I will accompany you, no, this time It was you who accompanied me to the end."

At the end of everything, until the Dragon God completely disappeared and returned to heaven and earth, all the formation contracts were invisibly dispelled because of the lack of objects, and Yang You also left after walking for a lifetime.

Everything after that is only determined by the foundation laid by Yang You, completely relying on the internal strength of the dynasty, without any external interference at all.

No more pain and tangles.

"Finally?" Yang You understood, it turned out that all of this was destined to end, and he was just the last actor who came on stage in a hurry at the end.

His lips trembled slightly, and then he laughed with tears in his eyes.

I don't know why I am laughing, laughing at the situation that has lasted for thousands of years, and laughing at the foolish people.

The situation was exactly as Yang You expected, the locust plague quickly spread to the north, and there was no grass growing everywhere, no matter how fast the food was transferred from the south, it could not catch up with the speed of the locusts.

The locust plague caused many people to starve to death, followed by the outbreak of the plague. Food and grass had arrived at the fastest speed, but it was still much later.

Starting from Shandong, a large number of "kings" emerged on their own hills. Hebei Province, Henan Province, Hedong Province, Guannai Province, and Gyeonggi Province were all spared, and many hilltops appeared in the territory.

He had cleared the channel for passing news from bottom to top before, so this time, the news came quickly and in a timely manner, which shocked all the officials even more.

Shangluo even asked him to make a plan. I am afraid that the scale of the civil uprising will not be smaller than the chaos at the end of Qin Dynasty, and the country will perish if he is not careful.

Yang You asked Zhuo Xinhong to put down the rebellion in person, first forcibly recruited most of the rebels with food and grass, and issued three edicts in succession.

The first way is to exempt the affected areas from paying taxes for two years, and the second way is to punish anyone who submits to the imperial court.

The third edict was given to Yang Yuchun, and he was directly promoted to the position of General Tiance Mansion. He recruited troops on the spot, and he mobilized all the troops in the north. He must put down the rebellion.

Although Ao Chen has been tortured a lot, and he has been guaranteed by Ao Chen, Yang You tosses and turns every night.

Ao Chen no longer sleeps in the lake, maybe he has no hope of recovering his dragon energy.

The embankment is full of gas, and no matter how much water is stored, it will not be able to keep up with the speed of discharge. Sooner or later, it will bottom out.

He just needs to accompany Yang You, not to die for Yang You and his princes and grandchildren, Yang You is not the master of the disaster, and the current dragon energy is almost enough.

Ao Chen would come to accompany Yang You from time to time and give him some advice.

The situation in the disaster-stricken area was deteriorating, and it was already too busy to transport food by water. Yang You even used the sea transport that no one used on a large scale, and took the risk of landing from Shandong, so that the people must survive the winter.

I don't know whether it was Ao Chen who played a role, or Yang Yuchun was really a god. He assembled [-] soldiers and horses within ten days, and selected several famous "courts" one after another.

With the deepening of his conquest, another problem appeared in front of his eyes. The local government did not know how to appease the people, and the disaster victims were often questioned. Even if Yang You issued an edict exempting taxes and crimes, there were always other names to search for the people, let alone collusion. Aristocratic families kept slaves, speculated on food prices, and so on.Often Yang Yuchun's front foot just leveled, and when his back foot walked away, the people turned against him again.

However, almost every memorial that was presented was a "trickster" with a stubborn temperament and did not know the court's grace.

Yang You was so angry that his nose bleeds for several days. He was dismissed layer by layer from the highest in charge of the various provinces, including inspectors, interviewers, and Jiedushi. Fill it with people.

At this juncture, Yang You either directly suppressed anyone who opposed his dismissal, or recorded it in a small notebook.Seeing that Yang You was going to do something, the local nobles were unwilling to be taken away, and many people secretly resented it.

However, the opponents they faced were Yang Yuchun and Zhuo Xinhong who had fought against the family in the southwest.

Zhuo Xinhong represented the government and was responsible for wooing poor families and low-level families.

Yang Yuchun...

If you look at the letter he wrote to Yang You.He knew that the aristocratic family had money, food and people, and it wasn't just the court that rebels hated. The aristocratic family was naturally on the list, so he first sent a secret agent to inform the "big king" on the top of the mountain all the details of the aristocratic family.Wait for the rogues to attack the family first, and then fight the rogues yourself.

Or by the way, say that the aristocratic family colluded with the rebels and destroyed them together.

Can't you see what Yang Yuchun did?

You can either go to Zhuo Xinhong to report that you fully accept any arrangement from the court, or you can fight Yang Yuchun with your fists.

If you win the fight, everything is easy to say.

But no matter how good the family is, it would be nice to have three thousand slaves, not to mention wearing armor. Yang Yuchun is like a boulder rolling from the top of a mountain, crushing all obstacles along the way, and leaving in a hurry.

He himself didn't have a good impression of the family, and Yang You's attitude was skewed, so he knew very well what to do.

Every time Yang You read the letter he sent, he couldn't stop laughing. I have to say that some of the methods are indeed barbaric, but they are also very direct and effective.

In the first month of winter, the plague of locusts subsided, and the civil unrest subsided, and finally they could live a stable year.
