east wind evil

Chapter 26

Xiangxiang has been selling tofu curds all the time, and Murong Li hasn't come back these days, so of course she didn't dare to ask him where he was going.Besides, he is a prince after all, and he is in the military, so it's not something she can always ask about his whereabouts.On this day, she was serving bean curd to the guests, when she heard the scholar talking to Uncle Chen: "I heard that King Xun captured Jinyang City overnight, and the prince and queen both abandoned the city and fled!"

Uncle Chen was still older after all, so he didn't quite believe it: "Then Jinyang City is the capital of Dayan. Does it mean that it can be captured if it is captured?"

The scholar said: "Isn't there still Prince Kang who cooperates internally and externally? Speaking of which, these two princes are really courageous... King Yan is still here, so..." He glanced left and right, but did not continue.In fact, in Xiaoji City, most of the people are towards Murong Li and Murong Bo.Murong Bo Kuanren, if the common people have anything to do, if they find Kang Wang's mansion, most of them will do it if they can.Murong has a strong fist, if the bad guys don't have a strong body, the survival rate under his hands is not high.Therefore, the people of Dayan to the west of Jinyang are actually doing well.At this time, they heard that the prince had abandoned the city, so they didn't care.Not only does it not matter, but there is a feeling——Hey, our prince is going to be the emperor.

Xiangxiang listened to the two talking, and then said: "Uncle Chen, you mean, Lord Xun and Lord Kang attacked Jinyang City?" Oh my god, no wonder he hasn't come back these days!

Chen Bo responded: "This is still false! The crown prince has escaped."

Xiangxiang was impatient, and asked, "Are the two princes injured?" Both Chen Bo and the scholar looked at her strangely, and Xiangxiang thought, these two people probably got the news from elsewhere.She didn't ask any more questions, and gave the remaining bean curd to the nearby vendors, and took the two dogs home by herself.

When she got to the rented house, she said softly, "Yes, is there anyone?" When I was alone at home, it always felt a little weird to talk to the wall.But almost immediately, someone said: "Madam Xiang?"

Xiangxiang turned around and breathed a sigh of relief—it was the guard of the palace.She said, "I heard that the prince... went to war?"

The guard said respectfully: "Return to madam, the prince is indeed out on military affairs."

Xiangxiang asked: "Then when will he..." I wanted to ask when he would come back, but then I realized that this is not his palace, and he may not come back here if he wants to.Besides, there are still his main concubine and side concubine in the palace, how can he stay here forever?After thinking about it, she turned around and said, "Is he okay?"

The guard bowed and said, "My lord is well, Madam don't need to worry about it."

Xiangxiang breathed a sigh of relief, no matter what, it's good that she's fine.Little Xuanxuan... I don't know where she is now.

In Pingdu Pass, Su Jing took Xue Jinping, Xiao Xuanxuan and others to live in Ran Yunzhou's mansion.There are quite a lot of side concubines and concubines in Kang Wang's mansion, and there are four young princesses. It is not easy for her to take care of them.Xue Jinping is the happiest among many people.This is a border town, of course it is no better than the palace, she goes out every day to wander around.

Ran Yunzhou couldn't control the princess, so he had to send guards to protect her all the way, and he didn't care about her anymore.Guo Yang is still more worried about his sister. These days, he heard from the coachman that his sister is fine, but he has never seen him; and why his sister left the house, no one has ever told him.

On this day, after he finished practicing with the coachman, he was drenched in sweat and hadn't changed his clothes yet. Little Xuanxuan had already run over with her arms outstretched, calling out childishly, "Uncle!"

Guo Yang wanted to hug her, but seeing that he was sweating all over, he said, "Wait, uncle came to find you after changing his clothes."

Xiao Xuanxuan didn't care, she stepped forward and hugged his leg and rubbed it!Cui Shi, the wet nurse behind her, couldn't hold her back, so Guo Yang had no choice but to hug her, pinched her little face, and asked, "Why did you come here?" , Of course riding a shooting range is indispensable.As soon as Xiao Xuanxuan jumped on him, she went to get the knife hanging from his waist.Guo Yang was so frightened that he quickly handed the knife to Xiaobai, the servant behind him.Xiao Xuanxuan quit, and started to shout sharply again: "Uncle!"

Guo Yang said: "You are not allowed to play with knives!" Xiao Xuanxuan was about to cry again, Guo Yang saw Xue Jinping approaching from a distance, and hurriedly shouted: "Princess Wangfei!"

Xue Jinping came up a few steps and hugged Xiao Xuanxuan: "Wow, I got you!"

Xiao Xuanxuan giggled and hugged her neck with open arms.Xue Jinping touched her cheeks a few times before saying: "Go, mother will take you to ride a horse!" Little Xuanxuan hugged her like a puppy a few times, and Xue Jinping was about to leave.

Guo Yang hurried forward and stopped her: "Princess Wangfei! It's dangerous!" With your riding skills, take my niece to ride a horse... You deserve it if you fell, don't throw her!

Xue Jinping immediately glared: "What? You can't trust my princess's riding skills?" Guo Yang hurriedly stood up a few steps, since he was spat out by Xue Jinping when they met for the first time, he is now extra vigilant .In any case, make sure to stand two meters away from her!
Hearing what Xue Jinping said at this time, he hastened to say: "Of course the riding skills of the concubine are excellent. But the princess is young and active, the empress can't..."

Xue Jinping snorted coldly, lowered his head and asked Xiao Xuanxuan who was in his arms: "Little Luobotou, are you going?"

Xiao Xuanxuan entangled her like an octopus, and promised her with a wow wow, as if her little head was going to be knocked off.Seeing that the two were about to leave, Guo Yang became anxious, and went up to hug Xiaoxuanxuan: "Princess Wangfei, let the villain take the little princess back!"

Xue Jinping was furious: "How dare you!"

The two fought each other, and Xiao Xuanxuan hugged Xue Jinping tightly like pot stickers. Guo Yang made up his mind not to let Xue Jinping take Xiao Xuanxuan to ride a horse.If it really fell this time, it would be a bad thing!It's just... He was pulling in Xue Jinping's arms for a while, and felt something like two small steamed buns brushed against the back of his hand.Huh?What's this?I touched it again, and it was as soft as a peach, with a sharp point...

Xue Jinping was completely dumbfounded, you Guo Yang, you usually look serious and honest!You, you dare!
Guo Yang snatched Xiao Xuanxuan in his hands, looked at Xue Jinping's chest again, and suddenly realized what it was!Then Xue Jinping's big-eared scraper came head-on!With a slap, only the left side of the face was hit, and for some reason, the right side of his face also turned red like fire.

Xue Jinping slapped him, and he didn't know what to do now!Seeing him standing like an idiot, with five fingerprints on his left cheek, and holding the bewildered little Xuanxuan in his arms, he immediately became annoyed and funny, and turned to leave.

Only then did Guo Yang come to his senses, and immediately knelt down: "My lord, my lord, the villain deserves death! Please punish me, my lord!"

Xue Jinping turned to look at him, saw that his ears were red, and then said: "Come with me to ride a horse, you take Xuanxuan!"

Only then did Guo Yang get up and said, "I obey." His riding skills can at least take Xiao Xuanxuan with him.

The two chose horses, and there was a large pasture on the outskirts of Mayi.Steeds gallop across the vast wilderness, and there is a sense of boundlessness.Xue Jinping was wearing a red hunting suit, under the setting sun in the border town, he looked like a peach blossom.

Guo Yang was dressed in commoner clothes, holding Xuanxuan who looked like a small ball of powder in his arms.Xue Jinping looked back and saw that he was still half a head behind her, holding the rein with one hand and protecting the little Xuanxuan who always wanted to move around with the other.He didn't look around, but focused his eyes on the front. On the blue cloth, the sweat was completely dried and formed into salt flowers.

Xue Jinping said, "Why didn't you follow?"

Guo Yang only looked at her now, with his eyes still half-downcast, and said: "There is a difference between superiority and inferiority, I dare not go with the concubine."

Xue Jinping was overjoyed, and hurried on, Guo Yang had no choice but to catch up.Xiao Xuanxuan clapped her hands happily.

When the grassland was not walking for a long time, sand appeared in front of it.Xue Jinping wanted to go in at first, but Guo Yang stepped forward to hold her horse and said, "My lord, the desert is dangerous. I'm new here and I'm not familiar with the terrain, so let's go back first!"

Xue Jinping was not particularly capricious. He stopped at the edge, got off his horse, and said, "I heard my mother told many stories about the desert when I was young."

Guo Yang was startled, and brought Xiao Xuanxuan down. Xiao Xuanxuan cheered and ran to play in the sand.Only then did Guo Yang say, "Lingtang has been to the desert?"

Xue Jinping said: "She is from the state of Yu. After the fall of Beiyu, she was exiled from Suye to Jinyang."

Guo Yang nodded, Xue Jinping said: "She has been thinking about her hometown, but in this life, she probably won't be able to go back." Turning to look at Guo Yang, she said with a smile, "The country is broken."

Guo Yang said: "She must be doing very well now." How can there be any reason for her daughter to become Princess Xun?

Xue Jinping smiled, turned around and stared at the red sun that was about to set in the west, Guo Yang couldn't stand beside her, so he went to play with Xiao Xuanxuan instead.

Xue Jinping was out of his mind for a while. When I was a child, my mother told so many desert stories. Is there really a god in them?If she knew that she had been here and saw the desert for her, she would be very happy, right?She turned around sadly, but saw Guo Yang helping Xiao Xuanxuan build a sand tower.The four-story sand tower, even the corners of each floor can be seen clearly.She ran over, and saw Guo Yang gently pinching various carvings on the top of the tower with muddy hands, and when he reached the top of the tower, he pinched the top of the pagoda again.Press lightly with your fingertips, and pinch a flying dragon on the top of the tower.

Xue Jinping stood aside, seeing Xiao Xuanxuan leaning against him, pointing to the pagoda from time to time: "This is not pretty!"

Guo Yang immediately reached out and changed the glyph into another shape.

Xue Jinping squatted beside him, and said softly for a long time, "It's so beautiful!"

Guo Yang asked Xiao Xuanxuan to play by herself, and said with a smile: "I always wanted to be a painter when I was young." Xue Jinping tilted his head: "Why didn't I become a painter?"

Guo Yang said: "There have always been bandits in the city, always stealing things from the common people. Every time they come, our parents will take us to hide."The night in the border town came like this.Guo Yang pulled Xiao Xuanxuan up, brushed the sand off her body, and said, "From then on, I wanted to practice martial arts."

White smoke faintly rises from the desert, rivers and mountains are surging, and ghosts are indistinct. These thousands of miles of rivers and mountains have extreme scenery and desolation.

Why join the army?

Guo Yang said: "It's getting late, and it's time for the little princess to eat, let's go back." He carried Xiao Xuanxuan on the horse, and Xiao Xuanxuan cried and wanted to take away the sand tower on the ground. Can't do it either.The two smiled as they watched her stretch out her hand, carefully trying to lift the tower off the ground, but the sand tower shattered into smoke and dust in her palm.She looked at the floating sand on her hands, and cried again with a wow.This time he was still sitting on the ground, kicking his two chubby legs vigorously.Guo Yang didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so he had to promise to help her pile again when he went back, so her crying stopped.

The two got on the horse, Guo Yang held Xiao Xuanxuan in his arms, and walked in the same direction as they were going back and forth.Xue Jinping looked back at the smoky desert again, the sun was setting and the solitary smoke was getting thicker.Only the collapsed sand tower remains on the ground.In fact, I really want to go into the desert to have a look.Are those childhood fairy tales true or false?Under the yellow sand, is there a tower made of gold buried?If I lie on my back in the sand and keep looking at the sky, will the moon god really hear my wish?Even if you can't go in, it's good to be able to kick your legs outside and cry like this.Of course, after crying, it is best to have someone by your side who will gently take you home.

The horse's hooves clattered, Ran's mansion was approaching, Xue Jinping's maid came up to meet her, and her own servants helped her lead the horse.She turned her head and glanced at Guo Yang who was carrying Xiao Xuanxuan to find her nurse. Seeing the two talking and laughing, she felt a bit lost for some reason.

All Xiangxiang's news about Jinyang City can only come from conversations with people around her.Murong Li never came back, and there were guards from the palace by his side, but they were very tight-lipped, except for Wang Ye's well-being, or Wang Ye's well-being.After too many times, she stopped asking.

When winter was approaching, she only felt dizzy, and she couldn't get any oily smell. She invited the doctor to see it, and was told that she was happy again.Xiangxiang caressed her lower abdomen, new little lives always come suddenly like this.

Murong Li did have a reason why he couldn't come back - he asked Han Xu to guard Jinyang City, and sneaked into Yuyang with a team of elite personal guards to rescue King Yan and Concubine Shu.Murong Bo felt that this was inappropriate, but he couldn't let his father and concubine ignore it, right?

Murong Shen expected that the two would come to rescue King Yan and Concubine Shu, and when he learned that Murong Li had left Jinyang, he attacked Jinyang City at the same time as Donghu's army.At the same time, Xijing led an army of 15 to attack Pingduguan, and the war resumed!

Murong Bo got the news immediately that Yan Qing was guarding Pingdu Pass, and Jinyang City was guarded by Han Xu.But Donghu and the prince's army invaded together, he was under the enemy's back and forth, and he couldn't look at each other immediately!The troops at Pingdu Pass are quite weak, compared to Jinyang City, which is also in dire straits.Murong Bo couldn't believe it, this person actually did this!
Yan Qing sent letters asking for reinforcements three times a day, but even he knew that Murong Bo could not send reinforcements now.Xijing's 15 troops attacked the city four times a day, and all the young and middle-aged people in the city went to the city to resist the enemy.Even so, the North Gate was in critical condition twice.Yan Qing drove out the enemy troops who had already invaded the city twice, and most of the defenders in the city were killed.There was blood all over the walls.

Ran Yunzhou quickly sent someone to pick up Su Jing, Xue Jinping and others, and the blue glaze was still there.Seeing this, he asked, "Can't you keep it?"

Ran Yunzhou hesitated, but finally nodded: "We only have [-] defenders, and now there are less than [-] left. Xijing is still reinforcing."

Lan Zi said: "If the Pingdu Pass is breached, the gates to the west of the entire Great Yan will be opened, and Xijing can directly force into the hinterland of the Yan Kingdom."

Ran Yunzhou said: "We know. Let's go."

The blue glaze was silent, and Ran Yunzhou said: "It's a man's business to protect the family and the country. Please, let's go."

Blue glaze said: "Stay here for another three days, is that okay?"

Ran Yunzhou looked up at her, her eyes were firm.He finally said: "Yan Qing...will not abandon the city unless he dies in battle."

Lanyou nodded and said, "Take care of my son." Then she packed up her simple clothes and left the west gate at night.

The flames of war soon spread to the entire Dayan, and for a while, people were panicked.

Murong Li was in Yuyang at that time, his elite guards were the most brave.Murong Shen also knew that he was no match, so he simply gave up protecting King Yan and Concubine Shu, but ordered someone to follow these people secretly to see where they left the city.When King Yan saw Murong Li, the first thing he said was: "Son, you really shouldn't have come at this time." Murong Li ignored him, not whether he should come, but must come.That was his father, his adoptive mother.

The ministers in Yuyang have already exploded. Although it was good to be loyal to the crown prince before, it is something that most people cannot accept to lure barbarians into the pass.The temporary palace was full of noise, Murong Shen looked at it coldly - he knew that the sky was rushing, and the real thing was about to happen, what would you do?
Not long after, Shi Zhongan came to report and said softly: "The big fish has bitten the hook."

Murong Shen smiled: "Where did the water come from?"

Shi Zhongan said: "It turns out that there is an underground river channel under Yuyang City, and they dived from the channel. The exit is in the moat."

Murong Shen said: "This fifth younger brother of this palace really knows Yuyang like the back of the palm of his hand. Also, he has been in charge of the army for ten years, I am afraid that this big Yan knows every map by heart." He turned his head and looked at Shi Zhongan Said: "According to the prior arrangement, let's do it."

Shi Zhongan took the order: "Yes."

The next day, Han Xu was defending the city, and the corpses of Hu people under the city were piled up like a mountain, and the soldiers on the city also died one wave and immediately replaced another wave!Suddenly a sentry climbed up the city wall with hands and feet and shouted loudly: "General Han! General Han!"

Seeing that his expression was wrong, Han Xu guessed it was not a good thing, so he turned away both sides, and said softly: "Speak softly, let others hear, and I will cut off your head!"

The sentinel was completely out of his wits, and after hearing the words, he whispered: "Prince Xun died in battle!"

Han Xuru was hit in the head, took a step back, and asked softly for a long time: "What?"

Sensei was paralyzed on the ground, and said: "Brothers in Yuyang City came on horseback to report that the prince led more than [-] personal guards to sneak into the city from the underground river of Yuyang City, intending to rescue His Majesty King Yan and Concubine Shu. The prince sprinkled poisonous poison at the mouth of the river where the prince and others entered the water, and burned it with kerosene after the prince and others entered the water. None of the brothers survived! The prince, the prince... died in battle!"

Han Xu only felt a mouthful of blood in his heart, and he suppressed it for a long time before he could spit it out on the spot. Then he said, "Did you find the body?"

The sentry said: "The corpses are all burned to pieces, but the number is right. Even the prince, King Daiyan, Concubine Shu, all..."

Han Xu only felt a buzzing in his head, but after all, he was a person who had passed through strong winds and waves. He gritted his teeth in a blink of an eye, and said slowly: "Only I know this news, and Kang Wang can't tell it. Do you understand?"

Murong Bo didn't have much prestige in the army, the sentry immediately said: "Yes!"

Han Xu said: "If it spreads, I only ask you!"

The sentry agreed again, and Han Xu turned his head and said loudly to the soldiers who were guarding the city: "The prince suffered a little injury, but he has returned. Hold on, brothers!" All the big furniture agreed loudly, this is his brilliance place.Judging by Sentinel's expression, everyone knew that it would not be good news.If he only said that Murong Li had returned, everyone would be suspicious, it would be better to reveal that he was injured, which would calm the morale of the army.

When Murong Li was fighting, he was the kind of vicious person.Of course everyone was afraid when he was around, but he had a backbone, and it was human nature to cling to the strong.Now it is rumored that he was injured, but it is nothing. Back then, he was shot by the prince's crossbow under the city of Jinyang. What kind of injury was that?But not only did he persevere until he captured Jinyang City, but after a few months of rest, he was still alive and well.Injury is nothing to him, as long as his life is still alive!
Han Xu has been reading the military letter from Pingduguan, and now he is most worried about Pingduguan, not Jinyang City.The military strength there is weaker than that of Jinyang City. Once it is captured, the consequences will be disastrous.Is Murong Li really dead?No, he doesn't believe it.Not to mention that he didn't see the corpse, even if his corpse was right in front of his eyes, he wouldn't believe it.

Han Xu went to find Zhou Zhuo at the first time. Zhou Zhuo's complexion turned from white to green when he heard the news, and finally his voice became unstable: "My lord... No no, I didn't understand what you said!" You said The prince died in battle?

Han Xu slapped him across the face, and seeing his eyes clearer, he said, "No matter what method you use, you should contact your father now. I want to know if this is true!"

Only then did Zhou Zhuo come to his senses and said, "I'll fix the book right away!"

Han Xu said: "Don't let anyone know!" Zhou Zhuo responded, Han Xu suddenly pulled him back, and said word by word: "Listen, Lord Kang can't calm the hearts of the soldiers. Once the news spreads, our generals will If you don't fight, you will be defeated. The Jing people invade in the west, and the Hu people make trouble in the east. The prince's weak army can neither stop the Hu people, nor the Jing people."

Zhou Zhuo was still in a daze, Han Xu said: "Dayan will perish the country." Subjugate, these two words are like a thorn, Zhou Zhuo almost jumped up, ran back to the mansion quickly, and repaired the book for Taiwei Zhou Yi.Of course Dayan will perish. Since the beginning of the world, has there ever been an immortal family and country in this world?It can perish at the hands of anyone in future generations.Except you and me.

Compared with Jinyang and Duguan, Xiaoji City is relatively peaceful.Although there were rumors in the market, the common people believed Murong Li deeply.Although this Yan army is hateful, how could they fail like hungry wolves?But how could the prince give up such an opportunity?
Two days later, there were a lot of rumors in the city that King Xun Murong Li was executed.Along with the rumors, there is also the belt and gold ornaments of King Xun who had been burned to pieces.Rumors quickly swept across Dayan, and the tiger-like and fearless Yan army felt terrified for the first time.The man who was more terrifying than the enemy army, the man who drove them like a tiger and wolf, made them only move forward and not retreat... just died like this?
