Chapter 204 No.20 Scene Seven Unexpected Enemy Six

In the second year of Zhaoxi, May [-]th.The mist is low, and the black clouds are overwhelming.

Under the gate of Jingshu's palace in Weiliang Wangcheng, a group of envoys from Yujing ushered in.

As early as a few days ago, Luqiu Borong received a report from the Red Bamboo garrison, saying that the gate of Suoyangguan, which had been locked for nearly two months, was opened again. The escorting envoys headed straight south under the flag with the word "Son of Heaven" written on it.

At that time, the mistress of Wei Liang had heard about it for a long time, and the Baijiang family in Yujing had changed.And the reason why the Suoyangguan defenders closed the gate and cut off the only way to go north by land was targeting themselves.Therefore, she did not order the army to stop the envoys sent by the emperor halfway, but wanted to see what kind of tricks could be played in the city of Yujing, where there had been no news for a long time.

Wei Liang Shangwu, since the Shuodi Rebellion subsided, the imperial army in the capital was abolished, and the Guanning military soldiers took turns to defend.Because of its location on an important route and the vastness of the country, there are 200,000 military soldiers divided into four armies: Pingdong, Jingnan, Dingxi, and Shuoyang according to the four directions of east, south, west, and north.Each army changes its defense area every three years to adapt to the climate and landforms of Wan, Si, and Chang states, so that they can attack and defend, and can advance and retreat.

Right now, in front of the Zhaowu Hall, a large banner embroidered with a golden pattern is fluttering.Hundreds of Guan Ning soldiers in silver armor and helmets stood in front of the road. They were so majestic that they even compared with the dusty Yu Jingxiao cavalry guards.

The envoys dressed in white robes with golden sunflower patterns were also shocked by the overwhelming formation in front of them, but they still held their heads proudly and walked up the stairs with square steps.

After entering the gate of the palace, he saw Luqiu Borong sitting on the throne. He was actually wearing a short robe with narrow sleeves, his hair was tied into a bun, and he was dressed in a heroic military uniform.Fu Zaiyin was dressed in a pure red official robe, standing on the side of the king with his head held high, his right palm resting on the long knife handle at his waist.

"The lord of the country is a thousand years old. I have heard for a long time that the military soldiers of Guan Ning ruled by the Luqiu clan are powerful all over the world. Seeing them today is indeed worthy of the name. It is an eye-opener for us!"

The head of the envoys bowed his hands and stepped forward, but he knelt down before paying homage to the princes and kings.

Seeing this, Fu Zaiyin murmured in a low voice: "Irreverent people! I will drive them away now, lest they stay here to be an eyesore!"

After all, he had to set off to chase people away.However, the king's red lips moved, but he didn't reprimand. Instead, he stretched out his hand to gently stop the general beside him, and smiled at the envoy opposite:
"Since the Shuodi Rebellion, it is rare for Emperor Yujing to personally send a special envoy to Jingshu. Today, the envoy did not hesitate to visit from afar, but what important news did he bring?"

"Since the establishment of the dynasty, the great help of the princes and kings is necessary to ensure the stability of the country and the long-term prosperity of the country. The Baijiang family's rivers and mountains are more like Yanjiang and Lingshui, flowing into the sea and blessed for thousands of years. Today, Zi Nian Luqiu Yishi quelled the military disaster and made great contributions in defending the capital. We specially sent us to bestow meat and glutinous rice wine as the uncles of the southern princes. He also gave the south of Lingshui, the east of Mingzhu Bay, and the north of Mangdang Mountain as feudal lands. The way of heaven is restored. , the sun is shining brightly, Ke Zuo is diligent and diligent, and sincerely promotes!..."

The envoy held an imperial edict framed in gold silk and silk, and read aloud.However, Luqiu Borong did not get up to accept the order, and still had a calm expression on his face:

"As the saying goes, you don't get paid for your merits. This time, Cheng Guo raised troops for no reason. I just fought to protect the people of one side, and I was lucky enough to win. I really dare not accept such a generous reward."

The envoy's edict hadn't finished reading when it was suddenly interrupted, his expression gradually changed from astonishment to sullenness, and then he abruptly put away the gold and silk in his hand, angrily said:

"It's a great honor for you to be rewarded by the Son of Heaven! I advise the Lord Luqiu to take care of himself and not to be that person who doesn't know how to praise!"

However, Luqiu Borong suddenly stood up from the throne, his eyes seemed to have seen through the other party: "Angels, don't be angry. This is the first time you have gone south in 60 years. I really shouldn't act rashly." Interrupt—I think there should be other edicts from the emperor in the edict just now, right?"

The envoy snorted heavily, but no longer read the edict word by word, but stood with his sleeves down, and his attitude became more and more arrogant:

"Now that spring is turning into summer, everything is renewed. The new emperor will hold a grand enthronement ceremony soon, and will marry a new queen at that time. The purpose of sending ministers to the south to Jingshu is also to invite the Lord Luqiu to leave immediately and go to Beijing to watch the ceremony."

"Please forgive Borong for my ignorance. I vaguely remember that after Bai Jiangyou died of illness two years ago, a new emperor just took over. May I ask where the new emperor that the angel is talking about comes from?"

The envoy cupped his fists and cupped his hands towards the void beside him, with a look of unwavering loyalty to the new emperor: "Master Luqiu, you should know that the only remaining blood of the Baijiang clan in the world is just a mentally retarded child with cerebral palsy. Now his own Insufficient intellectual ability, unable to take on important tasks, so the active meditation is located in the new emperor Gao's family, in order to continue the great promotion of the country—”

Hearing this, Luqiu Borong finally put away the smile on his face, walked down the throne step by step, and walked in front of the envoy.In fact, she had already guessed that the new emperor in the other party's mouth was Gao Li who played power in the court, but she saw it through but did not say it:

"Since I am the seat of Zen, I would like to ask the angel to go back and tell the new emperor. Bo Rong is naturally suspicious. This time, I hastily summoned me to Beijing. The fortune and misfortune are unknown. Please forgive me for not agreeing."

The envoy didn't seem to expect that Luqiu Borong would openly resist the decree, and immediately raised his tone, as if urging him, but also as if persuading him to change his mind: "Now that Wei Liang is rewarded and the uncle of the southern princes, it should be done as soon as possible." Go to Yujing, go to the stage to watch the ceremony, and show your surrender!"

Luqiu Borong showed doubts: "Could it be that the angel has misunderstood. From the very beginning, Borong has never received any reward from the new emperor, so how can he submit?"

The envoy on the opposite side finally got anxious, and shouted loudly: "I advise the Lord Luqiu, don't go against the trend. You should understand that if you resist the order and don't obey it, you will be disobedient!"

Luqiu Borong finally stopped hiding his edge, but shouted provocatively, "What is disobedience?! Isn't Gao Li yet to perform his enthronement ceremony? He was so anxious to call himself the new emperor, and he took the initiative to use Dasheng His Yuxi issued an edict, and he should be the one who disobeyed!"

Before she finished speaking, she pulled out a golden knife about a foot long with a bear's head carved on it from her waist, and stabbed it into the jaw of the envoy standing in front of her!
"Back then, my grandfather led the Guanning soldiers to repel the invading barbarians. Countless children of the Luqiu family stained the battlefield with blood, shrouded their corpses in horse leather, and made immortal achievements. What they got in return was the suspicion and isolation of the Baijiang clan! The throne bought by Qiu's blood is handed over to others, and it is also called the Zen throne?! If this is the case, it might as well be reversed!"

No one would have thought that this seemingly weak female national leader would not be relentless when killing someone, let alone hesitate.The envoy still wanted to say something, but he could only make some gurgling sounds in his throat.Luqiu Borong then pulled out the saber violently, the blood was splashed all over his body, but he just let the envoy's body slowly fall to the ground, dying:

"General Fu listens to the order! Today the usurper Gao Li, under the guise of summoning him, sent his cavalry guards to the palace to assassinate them. I will kill all these assassins, and leave no one alive!"

The mistress turned around and ordered.As he spoke, he bent his left arm and wiped the blood off the golden knife with his sleeve.

Fu Zaiyin had endured the itching of his teeth for a long time, and when he got the order, he immediately waved his hand, and the thirty or so Guan Ning soldiers standing in the hall let out a whoosh, and surrounded the envoy and the dozen or so Xiao cavalry guards tightly.

"If the lord of the country kills us today, he will be an enemy of the entire Dasheng Dynasty! Now that the Yubei and Guannan seven kingdoms have sworn allegiance to the new emperor, aren't you afraid that your actions will make Wei Liang and the people under his rule Innocent people being targeted?"

The other envoys who still had a chance to breathe still did not beg for mercy.Hearing this, Luqiu Borong didn't turn his head away, but laughed with his back turned:

"Guannan Seven Kingdoms? The Cheng Kingdom has not yet perished. Counting Wei Liang, there should be four states and nine kingdoms in the south! The new emperor you are talking about is not as good as the idiot emperor of the Baijiang clan. There are countless vassal states! Or, there are other people like me who refuse to bow their heads?"

"Kill me!"

As soon as the laughter fell, Fu Zaiyin gave another order, and the shouts of killing one after another immediately resounded from the Zhaowu Hall. The originally quiet forbidden area of ​​the palace suddenly became a killing field full of blood.

Although Xiaoqiwei is the elite of the imperial city, he will not let others slaughter him easily.However, in the face of the Guan Ning soldiers who were more than a head taller, in the blink of an eye, dozens of fully armed soldiers and accompanying envoys were all chopped down to the ground, chopped into piles of meat, and even fought back. No chance to howl.

A gust of cold wind suddenly blew open the closed hall door, and the candle flames in the hall shook.The strong smell of blood in the air did not fade at all, but became thicker.

"Did Gao Li actually think that if he only gave me the fertile fields of the Mangdang Plain for thousands of miles to Weiliang, he would be able to exchange the lord's sincerity for him?"

Fu Zaiyin walked up to Luqiu Borong and handed him a clean handkerchief, "But after today, there will be no turning back."

"You—don't you want to retire?" The mistress pressed the white handkerchief to her face, and when she picked it up again, it was already dyed bright red.

The general in red robe shook his head resolutely: "The Luqiu family has the same roots as the Baijiang family thousands of years ago. If there is anyone in this world who is worthy of the throne in Yujing, I am afraid that apart from Guo Apart from the Lord, there is no other one! Zai Yin will not retreat!"

"Actually, you want to say that for me, Wei Liang, this day will come sooner or later, right?" Luqiu Borong walked to the gate of the palace, looking at the dark clouds over the palace, the murderous look on his face became stronger .

"Although the lord of the country is a woman, he has a man's ambition in his chest. Over the years, Wei Liang and the whole country have worked together to get a suitable opportunity. Zai Yin feels that now this opportunity has come. Hold it firmly in your hands!"

"However, the strange thing is, how could the old lord Zuoqiu of Yubei submit to the other party so easily?" The female lord folded the blood-stained white handkerchief, but didn't hand it back to Fu Zai beside her immediately. Yin, but held it tightly in the palm of his hand.

"The Zuoqiu family has no successors. I think Zuoqiu Que has long been disheartened and has no ambitions of the past. What's more, I heard not long ago that he seems to be no longer alive, and now Yubei seems to have no leader. No matter how poisonous the snake is, it can only belong to one side, there is no other way—”

The red-robed general hesitated for a while, as if he was deliberating whether to tell the other party what he was thinking, "On the contrary, I feel that the Southern Marquis who has never surrendered to Gaoli is more worthy of worry."

Previously, Luqiu Borong only felt that there were flaws in the envoy's words, and he didn't intend to investigate further.However, at this time, Fu Zaiyin mentioned it again, which finally made her realize that the matter was not simple:
"Among the big and small princes, who else has such courage?"

"If you are not weak, you will never bow your head to Gao Li easily. Now among the Guannan countries, the only one who can continue to fight against us, Wei Liang, is the Qi family!"

The mistress of the country seemed to be a bit skeptical: "Are you talking about the country Ye? I have indeed heard that the young man who has recently ascended the throne after Qi Shouyu is unusual. But the country Ye has never liked to fight, and it just fought with Cheng country before, and both sides suffered a loss. Now, how can you be willing to take such a big disgrace and gamble the fate of the entire Ye Kingdom?"

The red-robed general stopped talking, raised his hands above his head, and bowed to the end: "Whether Ye Kingdom has two intentions or not, we can only prove it with our own eyes. But no matter what difficulties and obstacles we face, no matter what Zai Yin is willing to follow with his life and death how the lord of the country will decide how to kill and attack, until the day when he succeeds!"

Luqiu Borong didn't answer any more, he just stared at the dark clouds gathering and thickening over Miyagi in a daze, full of preoccupations.Seeing this, the general beside him quickly took a step forward, and patted her shoulder lightly with his palm:

"It's the veil—when do you plan to return it to Zai Yin?"

This sudden but irrelevant question suddenly caused the female princess in front of her to giggle.The laughter swept away the confusion between her brows, and made her become that ambitious, confident woman again:
"If it is stained with blood, I will return it to you after washing it."

As Luqiu Borong said, he neatly folded the handkerchief in his hand and tucked it into his lapel, "Pass down the order and order the soldiers stationed in Hongzhu to get ready, and set off soon, heading north to Suoyang Pass!"
