The Beacon of Kyushu

Chapter 123 The History of the Old Man You Quyue

The old man nodded at Wan Jianfeng, "Yes, Jiao Gongxian has also admired this girl for a long time, and secretly swore that she would not marry her in this life. When he heard that Yang Tingyi was going to marry his daughter to Wu Quan, he was completely jealous In addition, he was usually dissatisfied with Yang Tingyi's preference for Wu Quan, so he killed Yang Tingyi while Wu Quan was out training."

Wan Jianfeng sighed, and was about to urge the old man to speak quickly, when Murong Yunyao walked over quickly.She looked at Wan Jianfeng, then at the group of old men beside him, and burst out laughing, "Hey, let me tell you! How long have you been separated from this girl, why did you get mixed up with a group of old men? No shame." You can't suddenly fade away when you drink, right? It's dozens of years old, right?"

The old man's words were interrupted by Murong Yunyao's laughter, and he looked up at her, "Little brother, is this girl your wife? She looks very pretty."

Wan Jianfeng shook his head, then nodded with a smile, "Old man, although my wife is beautiful, no one argues with me. She belongs to me alone. Leave her alone and continue telling Wu Quan's story Well, this young man is still eager to hear."

Murong Yunyao raised her leg and kicked Wan Jianfeng, then picked up a bamboo chair and sat down and said, "Stinking beggar, what kind of stories are you talking nonsense about? This girl will listen to it too."

The old man glanced at Murong Yunyao again, and continued: "A few days later, when Wu Quan heard that Yang Tingyi was killed, he immediately decided to raise troops against Jiao Gongxian to avenge his father-in-law. Jiao Gongxian knew very well that Wu Quan was brave and good at fighting. It was absolutely impossible to resist, so he had to go to the Southern Han Dynasty to ask for reinforcements. The Emperor of the Southern Han Dynasty thought it would be profitable, so he agreed and sent tens of thousands of reinforcements to help Jiao Gongxian resist Wu Quan. Everyone only thought that Wu Quan would be defeated, but who knew that Wu Quan would be defeated? Quan was not only brave and good at fighting, but also resourceful. Not only was he not defeated by the coalition forces, he even managed to defeat the coalition forces and killed Jiao Gongxian. Not long after, with the support of everyone, he established his own nation."

Wan Jianfeng sighed, "This Jiao Gongxian must not know Lao Niubi, otherwise, if you ask him for a divination, you won't end up like this."

The old man glanced into the distance and continued to preach: "But the good times didn't last long. After Wu Quan died of illness, the eldest son Wu Changxi succeeded to the throne, which aroused the dissatisfaction of Yang Tingyi's son Yang Shaohong. Yang Shaohong took advantage of his sister's power and his assistant minister He wanted to get rid of Wu Changji as soon as possible. Wu Changji found out about this in advance and fled overnight in fright, but his younger brother Wu Changwen and others fell into Yang Shaohong's grasp."

Murong Yunyao frowned slightly, and said worriedly: "In order to consolidate his position and avoid future troubles, Yang Shaohong must kill Wu Changwen and other royal family members, right?"

The old man shook his head and said, "Yang Shaohong knew that if he killed Wu Changwen, he would be infamous for the rest of his life. It happened that there was a rebellion in Tangruan Village at that time, so Yang Shaohong sent Wu Changwen to quell the rebellion, intending to kill Wu Changwen with the help of the rebels. Unexpectedly, during the march, Wu Changwen told his officers and men that Yang Shaohong had usurped the throne. Hearing the words, the soldiers all supported Wu Changwen, so they turned around and attacked Guluo City. Everyone suggested that Yang Shaohong be executed, but Wu Changwennian did not execute him for the sake of his uncle and nephew, but only demoted him to Duke Zhang Yang."

Murong Yunyao worriedly asked: "Wu Changwen has become the king, so Wu Changji, who is fleeing, can finally return to the country? But the position of king originally belonged to Wu Changji, if he comes back now, brothers will definitely kill each other."

The old man didn't answer, but continued to preach: "The next year, Wu Changwen sent envoys to meet his brother Wu Changji, and he handled state affairs with Wu Changji, calling his brother Tiance King. As a blessing, Wu Changwen no longer participated in political affairs, and there was a rift between the two. At that time, the Ding tribe of Hualu people believed that the territory was dangerous and refused to be a minister, so the two kings wanted to send troops to conquer. The Ding tribe was afraid , so he sent his son Ding Lian to pay tribute. Instead of treating each other with courtesy, the two kings detained Ding Lian and escorted him to conquer Dingbuling. After more than a month of attacking, there was still no result, so the two kings Tie Ding Lian to a bamboo pole and tell Ding Buling: "If you don't surrender, you will kill Lian." Hearing this, Ding Buling said angrily: "A man who promises himself with fame and fame is not like the beloved son of his children!" He insisted that he would not be his son. Taking on a serious matter, he ordered more than a dozen archers to shoot at Ding Lian. The two kings were shocked, so the troops returned to the court. Ding Lian's life should not be lost. He was not shot to death by the bow and arrow, but suffered some skin trauma. After being taken back for recuperation for a few days, he recovered as before.”

Wan Jianfeng smiled and said: "I'm not afraid that the enemy is as fierce as a tiger, but I'm afraid that the tiger is poisonous and eats its offspring. This father is really cruel, I admire, admire!"

The old man smiled slightly, and said: "Wu Changji passed away soon afterward. Wu Changwen sent envoys to the Southern Han Dynasty, and was appointed by the monarch as Jinghai Jiedu Envoy and Protector. Later, Wu Changwen personally conquered the stubborn people of Taojiang County Zhou Tai, and succeeded in destroying it, became arrogant and arrogant. Then he led the army to attack Tangruan Village in Taiping. , Each of them separated their states and counties for self-government, and the Wu Dynasty perished. After the Wu Dynasty perished, Ding Buling took advantage of the situation to grow bigger, eliminated the other eleven envoys, and established the current Quyue Kingdom."

After listening to this story, Wan Jianfeng thought it was very interesting, and just about to ask the old man for some wine, he suddenly saw the old man's complexion change.He turned his head and looked behind him, and saw a Quyue army of hundreds of people rushing through the county under the leadership of a general.Wan Jianfeng saw that the leader had slender eyebrows and dragon eyes, with a goatee under his jaw, a well-proportioned and slender figure, wearing a purple-gold battle armor, carrying an extremely heavy one-horned bronze man, and a snake pinned to his waist. The shape of the Malay knife is extremely majestic.He couldn't help but asked curiously: "Old man, who is this general? He is so majestic, almost catching up with the emperor of our Great Song Dynasty."

The old man didn't seem to hear his words, turned around in a hurry, and wanted to hide in his own courtyard.But the leading general still saw him, and he stretched the mount under his crotch, and the steed stopped immediately.He laughed triumphantly and said: "Hahaha, Leiyang Lihongni!"

Following his words, all the officers and soldiers immediately surrounded the old men, Wan Jianfeng and Murong Yunyao tightly.All the soldiers of Qu Yue had already drawn their long swords from their waists without the general's order, and their eyes were as chilling as the sword body.

The old man who just told the story knew that there was no way out, so he had no choice but to turn around, "Li Huan, it's been so long since the matter of the Twelve Envoys, you still won't let me go?"

Li Huan saw that he was speaking Chinese to himself, so he also said in Chinese: "Ruan Shoujie, the matter of the twelve envoys can be ignored by the king, but you should not be wrong. You have always been kings and losers, you don't really think that you can enjoy your old age by hiding in this remote county, do you?"
