Neon Clothes and Iron Clothes

Chapter 437 Martyrdom
quick!hurry up!

Like a puppet, Brother Zhong was dragged down the Yakura and fled into the inner courtyard. The few guards resisted desperately behind him, using their lives to buy time for the master to escape into the inner courtyard.At some point, the sun emerged from behind the clouds, and the sun was shining on everyone fairly, but Brother Zhong only felt chills all over his body.

"We don't have much time!" Ambirov's breath was short. He almost dragged Brother Zhong into the inner courtyard just now: "Your Majesty, it's time to make a decision!"

"It's time to make a decision?" Eldest brother Zhong was taken aback for a moment, and soon after he understood what the other party meant, his face suddenly turned pale: "You mean—?"

"That's right!" Abebirov pulled out the dagger and tried whether the tip of the knife was sharp with his finger: "My family no longer exists, and I will never bow to Saitama; as for you, since you have already ascended the throne As the king, it is naturally impossible to step down from the throne alive!"

"You're right!" Eldest Brother Zhong smiled desperately, "Since I'm a king, it's impossible for me to bow down to others. What's more, even if I submit to that woman, she will never let me go. Going down is just asking for humiliation!"

"It's good if you have this awareness!" Abebirov said with a smile, "Do you need my help?"

"Then trouble you!"

Eldest brother Zhong sat upright cross-legged, and pulled off the neckline of his jacket, exposing his neck.Amberbirov walked behind Brother Zhong, stretched out his fingers to find the carotid artery on Brother Zhong's neck, pulled out his dagger and said, "Do you have anything else to say?"

"No more!" Brother Zhong hesitated for a while, and replied: "By the way, you tell my people to hand over my body to the envoy of the Tang Dynasty, and he will take good care of them!"

"Understood!" Amberbirov nodded: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, you will soon pass without even feeling the pain!" Then he aimed at Brother Zhong's carotid artery and stabbed down.The sharp point of the knife cut through the carotid artery, and blood spurted out, splashing all over Amberbirov's body. Brother Zhong twitched all over, and let out a final groan, but soon he was paralyzed and lost his breath.Ampebirov laid the body flat, walked out of the goalkeeper and told the remaining guards about Brother Zhong's last words, and then ended his own life.

————————————————————————

"So, Brother Zhong and Abebirov both committed suicide?" Wang Wenzuo asked.

"Yes!" Wubu Lianxiong replied. His expression was complicated. He had the joy of defeating a powerful enemy, but also the relief after victory, and even a little bit of pity for hurting others. Wang Wenzuo took a deep look at him and asked Said: "What's the matter? You don't look very happy, aren't they your sworn enemies?"

"Report to You Fu!" Monobe Lianxiong smiled bitterly: "Brother Zhong is indeed my mortal enemy. Amberhirov and I have no enmity. But now even Brother Zhong, when I look at his corpse, I suddenly feel that Can't be happier!"

"Yes!" Wang Wenzuo sighed: "Actually, I am the same too. The death of my friend Liu An was related to Abe Hirov, so I did everything possible to kill him. But in the end, Abe Hirov is the same as me. A warrior is just like that arrow, he is shot by others and cannot help himself, he killed my friend, he was just obeying others!"

"You Fuden said so!" Monobe Renxiong said: "One more thing, there were 27 soldiers around when Brother Zhong and Abebirov committed suicide, and Brother Zhong asked them to hand over his body before he died. He also said that if this is the case, you will not embarrass these soldiers. However, after those soldiers handed over their bodies and passed on their last words, they all committed suicide with their blades. Please show me how to deal with it!"

Wang Wenzuo's eyes widened in surprise. He had seen similar things in history books, but history books are history books, and reality is reality. The fact that 27 people voluntarily gave up their lives to follow their masters underground is an extremely shocking thing.

"Brother Zhong deserves to be a hero in the world, he is so popular!" Wang Wenzuo sighed, "Ijilian Bode, Dinghui!"

"Yes!" The two responded in unison.

"You two gather the corpses of Brother Zhong, Ambirov and these guards. I plan to bring these corpses back to Asuka and bury them together!"

"Yes!"

--------------------------

"These people are real men, and we are nothing in front of them!" Igillian Bode sighed, looking at the corpses on the ground.

"Shut up!" Dinghui stopped his friend, and ordered to the left and right: "Go and collect the corpse first!" Then he dragged Yiji Lianbo to a place where no one was around, and shouted in a low voice: "Are you crazy? Humans are traitors!"

"That's right, they are also good men!" Yiji Lianbode retorted: "Youfu also said similar things just now, and asked us to keep the corpses and bury them together!"

"That's because he is the Palace of the Right Mansion. His Majesty won't take it to heart when he says that. Are you the Palace of the Right Mansion?" Ding Hui asked, "If you want to die, you can find a knife, a rope, A glass of poisoned wine, anything is fine, at least it won't hurt the family!"

"Well, you're right!" Igillian Bode sighed: "But I'm really upset, really, although we won the fight, is it really us who won? There is a woman sitting on the throne , a Tang man sat next to her, giving orders at will, and there were muddy legs in long coats and black hats everywhere, and they didn't even have time to wash the cow dung off the feet, what a hell!"

"Keep your voice down!" Ding Hui shouted: "Yes, it wasn't us who won, we just stood on opposite sides, isn't that enough? His Highness You Fu is generous and never stingy with those who are loyal to him. Not only can we protect the family with you, but we can go one step further!"

"Protect the family?" Iggy Lianbode laughed: "Of course I can, but what about you? Don't forget, your father is on the side of the traitor!"

"My father made this matter clear to me before leaving!" Dinghui said: "If Brother Zhong wins, the Zhongchen family will be fine, and if the other side wins, I will take care of the Zhongchen family as well!"

"My father is really good at calculating!" Iji Lianbode sneered: "It's a pity that even I have been calculated!"

"That's no way! If the father and son stand on one side, it will be over if they lose. Now I can at least think about how to save him!"

"Is there anything you can do?" asked Igilein Bird.

"I have already told His Highness You Mansion, His Highness said that as long as my father is willing to surrender, at least his own life is not a problem!"

"Really?" Ijilian Bode laughed: "That's great, His Majesty Youfu's generosity is really admirable! If he is not from Tang Dynasty, but also from my country!"

"Actually, I don't think it matters!" Ding Hui laughed and said, "Let me ask you, if His Majesty Your Majesty married His Majesty, would it be a good thing or a bad thing for you?"

"This—" Igillian Bode replied after thinking for a moment: "It sounds unbelievable, but if it is true, it will not only be a good thing for the Wa Kingdom, but also a good thing for the Tang Dynasty!"

"I'm very happy that you think so!" Ding Hui said with a smile, "You and I have both been to Tang Dynasty and studied in Chang'an. There are some things that don't need to be said. In fact, no matter who ascends to the throne, one thing is for sure. We all have to learn from Datang, we have so much to learn!"

Hearing this, Iggy Lianbode nodded.Among the Japanese under Wang Wenzuo, the two of them had the most knowledge, the deepest understanding of the Tang Dynasty, and the broadest insights.Therefore, the attitudes of the two towards Wang Wenzuo are also quite contradictory. They are emotionally disgusted with Wang Wenzuo's brutal interference in the mother's internal affairs and the harm to the interests of their own class;

But intellectually, they have to admit Wang Wenzuo's military and political talents and the necessity of learning from Datang; more importantly, the civil war dealt a heavy blow to the original vested interests of the Yamato Kingdom—the royal family and tribal nobles. It gave them room to display their ambitions and carry out political reforms.The expectation of the future is intertwined with the fear of the present, and Dinghui and Yiji Lianbode also have the subtle attitude of the present.

"I heard that your father went to Otsu the day before yesterday!" Ijilian Bode said: "Would you like to go there, tell him the situation here, and let him come and bow his head to His Royal Highness, the rest will be It's easy to say!"

"Do you think this is better?" Dinghui asked hesitantly, "After all, the battle is not over yet, right?"

"Brother Zhong is dead, and Abebirov is also dead. What else can we fight?" Igilian Bode said with a smile: "Even if there are more troops, there is no reason to fight anymore! Don't you think ah?"

"You're right!" Dinghui nodded. As Igillian Bode said, this kind of royal civil war is a fight for the throne. Even though most of Brother Zhong's army is still intact, he himself is dead. There is no one who can ascend to the throne, and it is impossible to continue fighting.Thinking of this, Dinghui felt anxious, and only thought about his old father in Dajin.

"Then I'll go and bid farewell to Your Highness right away, and I'll leave everything here to you!"

"Leave it all to me!" Yiji Lianbode patted his chest: "By the way, you have to ask His Highness Youfu for a guard. Now the road is full of thieves and deserters, so be careful!"

————————————————————

"Are you going to Dajin to recruit your father?" Wang Wenzuo raised his head from the books. The cases are full of piles. Brother Zhong has accumulated a lot of food and supplies for the long-term war in Jinjiang. If you want to find out these things How many and where, it really takes a lot of effort.

"Yes!" Dinghui said: "I have already asked, my father went to Dajin two days before we arrived, and now that the rebel has been crowned, the war should be over, I want to persuade him to come to you to plead guilty , please allow me!"

"Otsu? You mean the Otsu by Lake Piwa?" Wang Wenzuo asked with great interest.

"Yes, that's right there!" Dinghui looked at Wang Wenzuo with some surprise, he didn't expect that the other party even knew this.

"I saw it here!" Wang Wenzuo saw the other party's thoughts, and he pointed to the books on the case: "According to what is written on it, Dajin is the most important material distribution center for Brother Zhong. More than two-thirds of all kinds of military supplies are in Otsu's warehouse!"

"That's right! It is indeed a transportation hub, and it can be connected to neighboring counties through Lake Biwa and the surrounding waterways. It is also a normal choice to store supplies from various countries in Otsu!"

"That's good, I'll send you to Dajin!" Wang Wenzuo said with a smile: "But you don't need to bring him to plead guilty to me, you just need to make atonement!"

"Atonement?"

"Yes, you tell Nakatomi Kamazu that he only needs to keep Otsu intact and ensure that the materials in the warehouse and the ships at the dock are not damaged, and I will absolve him of his crimes! Do you understand?"

"Yes, yes! I remember! Thank you, Youfu Palace, thank you, Youfu Palace!" Dinghui was overjoyed and kowtowed again and again. With Wang Wenzuo's promise, he would be more confident in persuading Zhongchen Lianzu to surrender.

"Okay, okay!" Wang Wenzuo said with a smile: "Although I am not a father yet, I am still a son of man. As a son of man, I can understand the feeling of hoping that my father will be safe and sound! Let's go on the road, don't delay! "

"Thank you for your kindness!" Ding Hui was already in tears: "However, there are many troubles on the road, so I beg to send a team of guards to avoid accidents!"

"That's true! Wenzong!" Wang Wenzuo said to Cao Wenzong who was standing beside him, "Let Li Bo lead one hundred infantry and fifty cavalry to put on our imperial flag and escort Master Dinghui to Dajin!"

"As ordered!"

---------------------------

It's hard to describe the mood on Dinghui Road in words, he just felt that everything was smiling to him, the world was so sweet, he was almost in a half-dizzy state, and rushed to Dajin.Everything went well, the defenders who knew their side was defeated saw the imperial flag, opened the gate obediently, and expressed their surrender to Dinghui.

"Where is my father now?" Dinghui asked.

"He's still in his mansion!" The officer guarding the gate replied, "Since he got the news, he ordered the disbandment of most of the troops, leaving only a few troops under strict guard, waiting for new orders!"

"You really deserve to be my father! If it were me, I'm afraid I'd be dizzy and don't know what to do!" Ding Hui secretly sighed, and he took a deep breath: "Then take me to see him immediately!"

"Yes, please wait!"

The officer confessed a few words and sent a soldier to lead the way. Dinghui followed him with excitement and arrived in front of the house where his father lived. At this moment, he could no longer hold back his excitement: "Father, Father, it's me, I'm back!"

"Is it Dinghui? It's great that you're here!"

Familiar voice came from inside the house, Ding Hui waved his hand, signaled the guides to step back, took off his clogs, walked up the steps, and walked into the main room.I saw my father in a plain robe, sitting in front of the desk and writing something, he hurriedly bowed down and said, "Father, I'm back!"
