Noble First Daughter-in-law

"It's King Qin!"

At this time, it was impossible to tell who shouted the first sentence, or perhaps it was the countless voices shouting at the same time when they saw the tall, god-like figure majestically appearing.

It’s King Qin, Yu Wenye!

He was wearing armor and carrying a Mo Dao. The sharp blade had killed countless Xiaoxiao, and it was stained with blood. The blood slowly slid down along the blade, and finally dripped down, and then he stepped forward step by step. As he stepped forward, he left bloody footprints one after another!

It’s King Qin Yuwenye, it’s him!

As soon as he saw him appear, although he still didn't understand what happened, Yu Wenyuan almost immediately heard that everyone around him seemed to be relieved.

And those who had been beaten to the point of losing their armor by the soldiers crossing the river saw Yu Wenye appear again, and the last bit of their strength was completely drained away. They threw away their armor one by one in dejection, as if A puppet whose strings have been cut has generally lost its last bit of life, and is completely submissive!

Yu Wenyuan opened his eyes wide and looked at his son standing tall and proud on the other side of the river. His breath became solemn for a moment.

After the people around him breathed a sigh of relief, they also began to wonder——

"What happened?"

"Why is King Qin on the other side?"

"Are those people from King Qin just now, or from whom?"

Just when everyone was confused, they saw Yu Wenye wave his hand gently again, and immediately, two more people, one tall and one short, walked out from behind him.

Because they were too far away, many people around them could hardly tell who the two people were. However, Yu Wenyuan's eyes were sharp and he was familiar with them, so he could identify the taller one at a glance. He was thin, but had an elegant temperament. Even if you only look at a rough outline, you can feel the refreshing temperament of this person. He is none other than Fan Chengen, the former governor of Songzhou.

As for the shorter one, it wasn't really that he was short, but because his hands were tied behind his back and he could only huddle forward.

That person is none other than Jiang Chongen!

Upon seeing this situation, Yu Wenyuan seemed to understand something in his heart. He said in a deep voice: "Immediately assist King Qin to cross the river!"

At this time, the face of Yu Mingyue, who was standing not far away from him, became increasingly ugly. Although this matter would not involve them for the time being, just from the few corpses just now and the sudden appearance of Yu Wenye at this moment, She already roughly understood what happened, and even more clearly, what happened today was a failure. He could only grit his teeth and silently withdraw from the crowd, retreating to Yu Dingxing who was being treated by Lin Shian.

Before the people on Yu Wenyuan's side could cross the river, Yu Wenye on the other side was slowly walking towards the river bank. Only then did everyone see that he was not only followed by a large group of people, but also a group of tied up men in dark blue military uniforms. The soldiers were obviously surrendered soldiers whom he captured. While he directed his men to slowly extradite these people across the river, he took several soldiers to escort Jiang Chongen and Fan Chengen, and sat on the boat that had just crossed the river. Several boats rushed to the shore, and soon crossed the wide Yellow River, pulled over to the shore, and then strode towards the embankment.

At this time, Yu Wenyuan had already sat back under the pergola. In order to calm himself down more, he reached out and picked up the teacup on the table beside him and took a sip.

As soon as he put the cup down, Yu Wenye walked up to him with the smell of blood, leaned down and kowtowed: "My son, I pay my respects to my father!"

"..."

Yu Wenyuan did not speak immediately, but slowly put down the cup, then raised his eyes to look at him, his eyes shifted from his bloody clothes to his cold and resolute face, and said: "You——"

Before he could finish his words, Yu Wenye had already said: "Jiang Chongen pretended to surrender, but he intended to cause rebellion. The sons led troops to encircle and suppress him, captured him, and handed him over to his father. Most of his troops who refused to surrender have been killed. , and the remaining 800 surrenderers were also captured by Erchen’s subordinates.”

Yu Wenyuan frowned slightly, but did not get angry immediately. He only said: "What happened to those who just crossed the river?"

"They were the remaining people who refused to surrender. I sent people to hunt them down. I originally thought that they would surrender if they were forced to the river and had no way out. But I didn't expect -"

Having said this, he glanced back and his eyes turned cold.

At this moment, everyone finally realized.

No wonder the people who just rushed out of the bushes had wounds and bloodstains on their bodies. They looked murderous, but they were rushed away by the soldiers who crossed the river and landed on the shore. They were not coming to assassinate the emperor, but After escaping here, no wonder they were defeated.

As for those who ran upstream and took boats to cross the river, they were obviously just trying to escape for their lives.

Unexpectedly, he met General Zuo Xiaowei, Yu Dingxing, who was crossing the river by boat. He didn't say anything after the encounter, and he made a move without even knowing what was going on, which led to this inexplicable battle.

When Yu Wenyuan heard this, his face darkened slightly.

He looked behind Yu Wenye with cold eyes. Mu Xian had already walked over with Jiang Chongen, whose hands were tied behind his back, and pushed him over to kneel down. Jiang Chongen was already frightened out of his mind, his face was pale, and he kowtowed repeatedly: "Please, your Majesty, please forgive me and spare me!"

Yu Wenyuan frowned: "So, you really want to murder me?"

"..."

Jiang Chongen was shaking like chaff and could no longer say a word.

Yu Wenye on the side said coldly: "He has ambushed the swordsman in his camp. He is just waiting for my father to cross the river to his camp to greet him in person, and then he will take action immediately."

After saying that, he glared at Jiang Chongen fiercely: "When the son entered his camp, he thought that the son was going on behalf of his father, so he planned to kill the son in his camp according to the plan. It’s just that he didn’t expect that his son already knew about his conspiracy.”

"..."

"Those swordsmen and axemen were also captured by my sons and obeyed my father's orders."

The people around him all let out a long sigh of relief at this time. They were all very happy and whispered: "Fortunately, His Highness King Qin is here this time."

"Yes, if it weren't for King Qin, we would all--"

"What a vicious person, what a bold person!"

Listening to the continuous compliments from the people around him, Yu Wenye's face still only had a cold and mask-like expression. In fact, because his face was stained with a lot of blood, his originally cold eyes were even more gloomy. The burning murderous intention, that sharp feeling, even if you just look at each other, you will be scratched by his gaze.

Jiang Chongen's head had already been lowered, and he wanted to bury it in the mud at this moment.

Everything, just as Yu Wenye said, and as the Empress Dowager Jiang had guessed before, he was coerced by Liang Shide's kindness and power. Seeing the two states of Song and Xu fall, Luoyang is likely to face a large-scale invasion by the Dasheng Dynasty. Liang Shide has no guarantee of victory. He was sure of it, so he wanted to use his small advantage to make him pretend to surrender and set up a trap to trap and kill Yu Wenyuan. Even if it could not completely defeat the strength of the Dasheng Dynasty, it would at least cause civil strife in his country and give Luoyang an opportunity to take advantage of it.

Everything was going smoothly, especially when he came to Longmen Ferry. He was overjoyed when he heard that Yu Wenyuan had arrived on the other side and was preparing to cross the river himself.

He even thought that he could accomplish something major that would affect the entire troubled world.

Unexpectedly, King Qin Yuwenye suddenly came to his camp. At that time, he did not expect that Yuwenye had already known about his conspiracy. He only thought that he came to investigate the situation on behalf of his father. People around him advised him to immediately He wanted to catch another big fish, but he hesitated whether to put Yu Wenye back alive and lure Yu Wenyuan here.

At this moment of hesitation, Yu Wenye took action!

Before this, of course Jiang Chongen had heard of his reputation in the military, but in his impression, he was just a boy who often followed his sister, Queen Jiang, and was nothing to be afraid of. This was exactly what he thought. , so that he did not heighten his vigilance against this person, so that he entered the army alone and controlled all the people in his big tent. When the people outside discovered that something was wrong, Yu Wenye's subordinates and those not far from him People from Fan Chengen's camp have rushed in and completely surrounded his entire camp!

Even if he couldn't see everything that happened after that, the screams and the bloody smell that penetrated the big tent already explained everything.

Kneeling in front of Yu Wenyuan at this moment, he had no idea of ​​victory or defeat, only regret in his heart - he was obviously the uncle of the Daye Dynasty, why did he follow Liang Shide in rebellion? Since Yu Wenyuan could treat Empress Dowager Jiang and the deposed emperor kindly, and even allowed his second son to marry Princess Crescent Moon, why should he go against him?

Everything now is irreversible.

Seeing him trembling, Yu Wenyuan's face turned red and white, not just because of the danger - for his half life, such danger was actually nothing. He had even encountered more dangerous situations. What made him angry was that he was deceived by such a plan and almost landed himself on the opponent's knife edge!

This is simply a shame!

If Yu Wenye hadn't appeared...

His brows furrowed slightly, then he looked up at Yu Wenye, thought for a moment and said, "Let the felon Jiang Chongen be detained first, and he will be punished later."

"Yes!"

The guard stepped forward in response and dragged Jiang Chongen down, who had lost his self-control and was like a dead pig. He could still hear his constant begging and crying along the way. Yu Wenyuan turned to look at Yu Wenye again and took a clear look. The voice said: "But how did you know about his conspiracy?"

Yu Wenye lowered his head and said, "My son accompanied Ruyi to Dayan Temple to worship the Buddha. There I heard someone say that Jiang Chongen is a man who is obsessed with profit and is not loyal to the emperor. There must be a conspiracy behind his surrender." His words were naturally provincial. After all, there were so many people around, and it was impossible for him to bring out Empress Dowager Jiang directly.

But Yu Wenyuan already understood and frowned.

In fact, just when he saw several corpses on the river beach and guessed that there might be something strange on the other side, he thought of Empress Dowager Jiang. If Jiang Chongen really set a trap to kill him, such a heinous crime would not be possible. Maybe just killing one Jiang Chongen would calm him down, but then Empress Dowager Jiang and the deposed emperor would probably not be able to stay.

But I didn't expect...

Just when his thoughts were gloomy, Yu Wenye continued: "Both the man and Ruyi advised my son to set off immediately to prevent my father from crossing the river and entering Jiang Chongen's camp."

"Oh?"

Yu Wenyuan said: "Then why didn't you do this?"

"Because I am worried that it is too late."

"Too late?"

"good,"

Yu Wenye said calmly: "My father has to leave Chang'an before my son, and the journey will be smooth, and it will not delay for long. If my father directly passes through Tongguan and crosses Longmen Ferry, then even if my son catches up, it will only take a long time." I'm afraid that I won't be able to stop my father from crossing the river. Besides, the speculation is just a guess after all. If we take measures before it can be confirmed, it may hurt my father's sincerity to recruit talents, and secondly, it will also chill the hearts of those who surrender."

"..."

"If he sincerely surrenders to me, I will only serve as an advance officer, making arrangements for my father and respectfully welcoming the emperor. This will also be considered as my filial piety."

"..."

"If he harbors evil intentions——"

At this point, his eyes turned cold and he didn't say any more.

And everyone around him also understood what he was going to say. After all, what was in front of him was the result.

After hearing his words, Yu Wenyuan finally suppressed the anger that had risen in his heart after being robbed by him again. Looking at his bloody appearance, he finally sighed and said: "King Qin is here. , I am at peace."

Upon hearing this, the people around him hurriedly knelt down and said in unison: "Your Majesty, your Majesty is filled with great blessings, and every disaster is turned into good luck!"

"His Royal Highness King Qin is indeed brave!"

"With the King of Qin here, why worry about being defeated by a powerful enemy!"

These gushing praises filled Yu Wenyuan's ears for a while, and then he looked up and saw the blood all over Yu Wenye. Even if the people around him didn't say those four words, he understood that it was "hard work and great achievements". With this With my son here, many things have indeed become very easy, not only when facing Longmendu now, but also when facing Luoyang, the eastern capital in the future...

He said: "Thank you for your hard work."

Yu Wenye immediately lowered his head and said, "This is my duty."

Yu Wenyuan nodded and wanted to say something else. At this time, a ship following them also docked on the shore. Another of Yu Wenye's soldiers slowly walked forward with Fan Chengen.

Although he was born as a civil servant, after guarding Songzhou for many years and with the experience of troubled times, Fan Chengen has long since faded away from his past frail appearance. Even if he is not good at military affairs, in the face of such changes and battles , and no longer as horrified as before. He stepped across the rugged river beach and slowly climbed onto the embankment, then kowtowed to Yu Wenyuan.

"Fan Cheng'en, the guilty minister, pays homage to His Majesty."

"Cheng'en, you——"

Seeing Fan Chengen kowtow and salute to him, Yu Wenyuan immediately put on a smile, stepped forward and personally helped him up, and said with a smile: "I never thought that you and I would see each other again one day. "

A blush flashed across Fan Chengen's face, apparently thinking of the time when he defended Songzhou and even almost killed Yu Wenye and Shang Ruyi. He still doesn't know that Yu Wenye wanted Yu Wenyuan to massacre Songzhou City. The whole thing was just an expedient lie, and I only thought that Yu Wenyuan would hold a grudge against it; in addition, I was originally the same minister as Yu Wenyuan, and swore allegiance to the great dynasty, but now, not only did Yu Wenyuan inherit the great rule, but also gained the dynasty. Instead, he himself finally gave up the last bit of loyalty in his heart and joined this emerging dynasty. This may be the right choice for him, but it is still a bit embarrassing.

After being silent for a long time, he finally said: "The guilty minister is ignorant of the current affairs, and it is my fault that I have to bother Your Majesty to come to greet him personally."

Yu Wenyuan smiled and said: "I'm very happy that you can come!"

"..."

"My court needs loyal ministers like you!"

Fan Chengen blushed again and shook his head gently, but Yu Wenyuan didn't wait for him to say anything more, smiled and took his hand, patted it several times, and nodded repeatedly: "Okay, okay ,good!"

After saying "good" three times in a row, he pulled Fan Chengen to him and said very intimately: "I know that you are a virtuous and loyal minister. You have been staying in Songzhou all these years not only for the sake of the previous dynasty, but also for you. That world in my heart."

Fan Chengen's eyes turned red: "Your Majesty, does he know?"

Yu Wenyuan said: "Of course I know. If I didn't have such a wish in my heart, I wouldn't have shouldered this heavy burden. You have to know that it's already difficult to just survive in troubled times, and then you have to carry this thousand-mile mountain. With billions of people, it’s even more difficult.”

"..."

"Those who are officials have good fame and fortune. I can also use fame and fortune to drive them, but it is difficult to find people who put the people first in their hearts."

"..."

"I need ministers like you, and so do the people!"

Hearing what he said, the last thread of reluctance entangled in Fan Chengen's heart finally broke completely. He took a deep breath, knelt in front of Yu Wenyuan again, lowered his head and said: "I am willing to serve your majesty and devote my whole life to it. Just die!"

Yu Wenyuan laughed loudly, helped him up again, and said, "If you have this intention, my wish is enough!"

Yu Wenye, who was standing aside, saw this scene and remained silent.

He actually knew very well in his heart that Fan Chengen surrendered to the Dasheng Dynasty just because he couldn't stand Liang Shide, who had always been a rebel. Especially after Wang Shaoqiu led his troops to defect to the Eastern Capital, it was even more impossible for him to be of the same mind as Liang Shide; but he only guarded A Song state with a shortage of money and food is indeed not a long-term solution, so this time Shen Tutai did not adopt a policy of aggressive attack, but gave him three points of leeway, and he surrendered.

But this kind of surrender is more of a general trend.

But Yu Wenyuan's two or three words clearly spoke to his heart. Looking at Fan Chengen's red eyes, Yu Wenye's heart moved——

It turns out that the human heart is both rare and easy to obtain.

Yu Wenzhen, who was on the side, remained silent the whole time, looking at this scene thoughtfully, but he had no time to think about it, and there was always a faint uneasiness surging in his heart, especially when people around him were still landing, and there were more people. As they kept walking towards the river beach, among the messy figures, it seemed... something was wrong.

At this moment, a frightened and shrill cry suddenly sounded from the side——

"Prince!"
