Judge of the Lamp

Outside Wansheng City, Yang Huan waited with great anticipation for Master Wang's triumphant return.

Since Yu Xianhuang left, Yang Huan has been thinking about a question, if the Gu clan invaded Wansheng City, how would she end her life.

It must not fall into the hands of the Gu people, those tortures and insults would be beyond her imagination.

She thought about running away, but she couldn't break the promise she made to her brother.

She wants to defend Wansheng City until every soldier dies, this is what she promised to the emperor.

She waited day and night for news from the front.

She was afraid of hearing the news of the emperor's brother's death, but she hoped for a miracle to happen.

But for some unknown reason, from the night of the decisive battle between Yan Huan and the enemy, Yang Huan never received any battle report.

She kept sending messengers to the front to inquire about news, but most of the people she sent never returned.

The few messengers who came back found some rumors that Yan Huan seemed to have defeated the enemy in Cong'an County, and it is said that Daxuan's reinforcements joined the battle.

But none of the messengers had seen Da Jun, let alone Yan Huan, and the news they received might not be reliable.

Yang Huan believes in miracles. She believes that Xu Zhiqiong has been working hard to persuade Emperor Daxuan. She firmly believes that Daxuan will not let Dayu be taken over by the Gu clan. She firmly believes that under the leadership of the emperor's brother, the brave Dayuerlang will definitely defeat Gu family.

But most people in the capital did not believe it.

Some rumors spread among the royal family first, and then among the common people.

They said that Emperor Yu Xian had already fled. In Qianlang County, someone saw the emperor going out to sea in a boat.

Yanghuan never believed these rumors, but those who believed them were fatal.

Her uncle Su Guang, elder brother Ke Jun, nephew Lu Kang and a group of restless ministers are trying to contact the Gu clan, as long as they can save their lives, they can do anything.

Yang Huan has a thousand forbidden troops, which is the only remaining force in Wansheng City, and also the only capital in Yang Huan's hands, this capital can only make her live in fear.

Now she can relax.

Half an hour ago, she received news that a group of people, carrying the banner of Master Yu Xian, was walking towards the capital.

This time, the news was real. Although it came suddenly, the messenger saw it with his own eyes.

He saw a familiar battle flag, a familiar army and a familiar general.

He saw Dafeng Chang Yanhuan, although Yanhuan fell into a deep sleep.

He saw Prince Mochi.

Mo Chi is back?
This proves that Daxuan really sent troops!

Yang Huan had always hated Mo Chi, and she had never looked forward to seeing Mo Chi as much as today.

She summoned members of the royal family, civil and military officials and all the forbidden troops outside the city, waiting for the emperor's brother to return in triumph.

Yu Xianhuang's uncle, Dong Jian Wang Suguang said: "Yang Huan, did you really see the emperor come back?"

Princess Yanghuan explained: "Brother Huang's chariot battle should be in the Chinese army, with Mo Chi leading the battle."

Su Guang frowned and said, "Mo Chi should stay in Xuanguo as a hostage."

Yang Huan said: "Xuan Guo is willing to let him back, which proves that the reinforcements have indeed come."

Yu Xianhuang's younger brother, Nan Xiao Wang Kejun shook his head and said, "That doesn't make sense. Even if Daxuan really sent troops, why did he have to release the hostages?"

The son of King Kejun of Nanxiao, nephew of Yanghuan, Nanxin Jun Lukang said: "Auntie, this matter is not a joke. I'm afraid Mo Chi will join the Gu clan and bring an army to trick me out of the city!"

...

Yang Huan said angrily: "Nonsense! Even if you doubt Mo Chi, don't you even believe Chang Yanhuan and the soldiers in the army?"

Dongjian Wang Suguang coughed and sighed: "I heard that Cong'an County was defeated in the first battle. Yan Huan and others were all captured by the Gu clan."

Yang Huan shouted: "I also received news that Yan Huan won the battle in Cong'an County!"

"Yan Huan can win the battle?" Ke Jun sneered, "I don't believe that."

Lu Kang shouted: "The ones Mochi brought must be from the Gu clan!"

Su Guang sighed, "It's hard to tell if it's Mo Chi. Xu Zhiqiong is nowhere to be found. How can Xuan Guo release Mo Chi?"

A group of courtiers discussed:
"This is a Gu clan's conspiracy!"

"He tried to lure us out of town and kill us all."

"Princess Yanghuan, are you trying to kill us?"

The quarrel became louder and louder, Princess Yanghuan was covered in sweat, she turned her face and blamed the messenger: "But you can't look carefully, why didn't you wait to see Brother Huang before reporting to me?"

The messenger said with an aggrieved face: "His Royal Highness asked me to come back immediately to report the victory, and I will not wait any longer."

Ke Jun snorted and said, "There is something weird here!"

Su Guang asked, "How many troops did Mo Chi bring?"

The messenger said: "The army passed by, the smoke and dust filled the air, I didn't count it carefully, there should be more than ten thousand people."

"More than [-] people!" Su Guang shouted, "More than [-] troops of the Gu clan are coming, we are in danger, so we should return to the city quickly."

Ke Jun shouted: "Yang Huan, why don't you know how to live or die? Ten thousand enemy troops are coming, and you still go out of the city to meet them?"

Lu Kang shouted: "Everyone, hurry back to the city, close the city gate, and discuss again."

There was an uproar in the city, and it seemed that the situation was about to get out of control.

A ball of flames suddenly rose into the sky, and Shan Yan looked at everyone with a gloomy face: "What's the hurry? Since Prince Mo Chi is back, the Emperor is not far away!"

Lu Kang shouted: "It's not your turn to speak here, what are you..."

Yang Huan suddenly ordered the imperial army to line up. Seeing this posture, everyone calmed down one after another.

After waiting for nearly an hour, the dust gradually rose in the distance, and everyone saw the flag of Yu Xian's army.

Under the banner, riding a tall horse is Mo Chi.

Behind Mo Chi was General An Che.

Behind An Che were many familiar generals.

Yang Huan became more and more excited, but when he saw the army approaching with smoke and dust, Yang Huan rushed to meet him, grabbed Mo Chi's rein and asked, "Victorious?"

Mo Chi nodded and said, "We have won."

Yang Huan said with tears in his eyes: "The True God Suzaku blesses me, Da Yu! Brother Huang is back?"

Mo Chi replied without nodding, "The emperor is back."

Yang Huan looked surprised and shouted: "Where is Brother Huang?"

Mo Chi did not answer: "Auntie, we will discuss it after we enter the city."

"Okay!" Yang Huan hurriedly agreed, "I'll go to see Brother Huang first, and you let the sergeant station outside the city."

Mo Chi turned around and said to An Che, "Give me an order, and the army will enter the city together."

Yang Huan was stunned.

Why let the army enter the city together?
Su Guang shouted: "Mo Chi, what are you doing? Foreign troops are not allowed to enter the city!"

According to Yu Xian's law, no army other than the Forbidden Army is allowed to enter Wansheng City.

Mo Chi gave An Che another order: "Send an order to escort the royal family and ministers into the city!"

...

An Che gave an order, and the army stepped forward, surrounded the members of the royal family and a group of courtiers, and forced them into the city.

……

Yiyuan County, Qingteng Village, in a farmer's household.

The hostess of the farmer was steaming the pancakes, she turned around and shouted: "Guest officer, wait a moment, the pancakes will be ready soon."

Xiao Songting promised in the room: "Don't worry, and you're not too hungry."

He escaped from Changluo Village, took more than a dozen Nufujiao officers, headed west all the way, ran wildly for several days, and finally found a place to stay.

In Yu Xianguo, there is a similar custom to Daxuan. There are no inns in mountain villages, and passers-by can stay in farmhouses. As long as they look like honest people, the host will usually take them in.

[To be honest, I have been using Yeguo to read and read books recently, change sources and switch, read aloud with many timbres, . 】

Not only the house, but also the food, what the host eats, the guests eat as well, give the host some money every day, more or less, discuss twice.

Xiao Songting's group of ten or so people didn't look like honest people at all. In order not to arouse suspicion, he stayed separately from the officers. Officers who couldn't find a place to stay lived in the wild first.

Xiao Songting was lucky, he met a good family, they provided him with good food and drink every day, and he didn't ask him for more money.

He rested in this farmer's house for two days, and his body gradually recovered, and it was time to set off.

Normally, people would greet and eat and drink, but the hostess had never met, and today, when the Shang was absent, Xiao Songting saw the hostess for the first time.

Seeing her rough skin, bloated figure, and her age, Xiao Songting politely called her sister-in-law.

"Sister-in-law! Thank you for your hard work."

The peasant woman brought pancakes and a bowl of soup, wiped off her sweat and said, "It's hard work, I usually eat this at home, so I have more double fasts."

Xiao Songting sighed: "In the past two days, I have been taken care of by your family, and my body has improved a lot."

The peasant woman smiled and said, "That's right, when you first came, you were sick, but now you look much better."

"Yes, it's much better. When will your man come back?"

"I went to buy wine at the fair, and I'll be back in a while. He also thinks you're in good health, so he wants to have a drink with you tonight."

"Brother is a good man, but I'm leaving today." Xiao Songting put his hand into his arms, as if he was pulling out money.

The peasant woman rubbed her hands together and said, "What's the rush, let's stay a little longer!"

"I can't stop, there are more important matters," Xiao Songting sighed again, "You two are good people, and you are really kind to me. Logically speaking, I shouldn't do anything to you."

The peasant woman was taken aback: "Brother, what do you mean by that?"

Xiao Songting sighed repeatedly: "If it was your man who came today, I would take away one of your men, but I never thought that it would be you who came today."

The peasant woman said with a look of fear: "Brother, I, I am here, what, what's the matter?"

"My appearance should not be seen by others, and my whereabouts should not be known."

The peasant woman stepped back again and again: "I, I don't know your whereabouts, I, I don't know who you are? I won't tell anyone, I just pretend I haven't seen you."

...

Xiao Songting pursed his lips and said: "I really want to believe you, but I can't trust anyone in my life. You are really good people, but why don't good people live long? Don't hate me, if you want to hate, hate God for not having eyes. "

After finishing speaking, Xiao Songting pulled out a spell.

Do you need to use a charm to deal with a peasant woman?
It might not be necessary for others, but Xiao Songting has this temperament.

No matter what the other party's status or cultivation level is, Xiao Songting will always use the safest way to deal with it.

A spell can make the opponent unable to shout, escape, let alone struggle.

This allows Xiao Songting to strike calmly without leaving any traces.

The spell flew out and landed on the peasant woman's head.

The peasant woman dodged suddenly, and with a wave of her finger, cut the charm into pieces.

Xiao Songting was startled, and realized that the peasant woman was not an ordinary person. He was about to take the magic weapon from his backpack when the peasant woman suddenly approached and peeled off a layer of skin from his arm.

Xiao Songting covered his arms, trying to escape, but saw someone coming in from outside the house.

The peasant woman laughed and said, "At first I wanted to peel off all your skin, but the master said that he still has a debt to settle with you."

This peasant woman was disguised by Chang Decai.

During the fight in Changluo Village, Xu Zhiqiong stamped a seal of Zhonglang on Xiao Songting's body. No matter where Xiao Songting went, as long as he was within a hundred miles, Xu Zhiqiong could find him.

Because of unfamiliar roads, Xu Zhiqiong delayed for a while, and allowed Xiao Songting to live in this farmer's house for two days.

Fortunately, he came quickly and got the farmer and his wife out of their home early in the morning and temporarily settled in another place, saving their lives.

Xu Zhiqiong walked into the door, looked at Xiao Songting with a smile: "Xiao Situ, it's only been a few days, and we met again, what kind of fate do you think we have."

Xiao Songting wanted to urge the magic circle to escape, but found that the magic circle didn't respond.

Xu Zhiqiong smiled and said, "I have a friend who has already cleaned up all the circles you set up."

Xiao Songting took out the trumpet and wanted to call someone.

Xu Zhiqiong threw a human head and landed in front of Xiao Songting. Xiao Songting saw that it was Ju Liang.

"I have also cleaned up your helpers, and there are a few friends who want to come and see you."

Chu He walked in and threw a large bundle on the ground, which contained more than a dozen human heads.

"Surnamed Xiao, back then our brothers fought desperately to arrest Liang Yuming, but you killed Yi Hongdeng in the yamen and let Liang Yuming go. Do you remember this debt?" Chu He gritted his teeth.

Niu Yuxian walked in: "You bastard, Liang Yuming colluded with evil stars, killed Wu Qianhu, killed so many brothers in the yamen, and almost wiped out the yamen in charge. Do you remember this debt?"

Yang Wu also walked in and stood aside silently.

Niu Yuxian said: "Hero Wu, this matter has nothing to do with you, it's our grievance in charge of the Yamen."

Yang Wu shook his head and said, "It does matter."

Niu Yuxian was taken aback, the martial arts hero spoke, and his voice was still familiar.

Xiao Songting looked at the crowd and said, "Okay! Come to avenge the Lantern Yamen? That's fine! Let's take it easy when I recover from my injuries. Now that I'm injured and taking advantage of others, what kind of a hero are you?"

"Taking advantage of others?" Xu Zhiqiong smiled, "Are you a human being?"

Xiao Songting sneered and said: "Xu Zhiqiong, you can't kill me, do the math yourself, how many times have you tried? This is fate!"

Xu Zhiqiong smiled and said: "I can also tell fortunes, and I will help you. You are destined to die in my hands. If you run once, I will kill you once. If you run a hundred times, I will kill you one hundred times!"

Xiao Songting got up and wanted to escape, but was kicked down by Xu Zhiqiong.

"God has eyes!" Xu Zhiqiong gritted his teeth and said with a smile, "Length Lantern, hold the lantern!"
