Concubine Sheng Chong

Chapter 66 Live to see people die and see corpses
The old head of the Xiao family, Xiao Ziyan's father, Xiao Tai, hurried over and stopped Xiao Ziyan who was about to go out after changing his clothes, and said sharply, "Are you crazy?!"

Xiao Ziyan retreated from the servants on the side, and then bowed his hands, "Father, our Xiao family is beautiful on the outside, but the inside has long been forced by Xuan Wang's mansion to be useless in the south of the Yangtze River. Don't you let your son just sit and watch the Xiao family just like this?" decline?"

The aristocratic families in the Great Zhou Dynasty were also constantly changing. After the declining aristocratic families disappeared, countless new aristocratic families rose up. No one is destined to have prosperity and wealth. If you want to retain fame and fortune, you have to work hard.

Xiao Tai's face is still not good, "You... If you fail... Are you dragging our Xiao family to die together?"

Xiao Ziyan looked serious, "My son has always been a cautious person, and this time he will not misjudge the person. Following Xu Junyan, my son is sure that he will not fail!"

Xiao Tai murmured for a moment, then sighed heavily, and waved his sleeves to get out of the way, "Being a father is just..."

"Father don't have to worry, the son has left the way. If something happens, the position of Patriarch will be left to the second younger brother. The son will never drag the Xiao family down."

To be the head of the family is to be responsible for the rise and fall of the entire Xiao family, and it is honor to make him happy, but if something happens, he can only do his best to bear it himself.

With that said, he decided to leave.

Xiao Tai stared at his back for a long time, unable to speak for a long time.

With the cool breeze blowing at night, the butler who was carrying the glazed lamp shivered, "Master, the young master..."

Xiao Tai shook his head, and then said with a solemn expression: "Mobilize all the guards that can be mobilized tonight, and the inside and outside doors must be guarded, and no negligence is allowed!"

At this time, the sound of the clash of swords and swords by the river was somewhat covered by the flow of the river. A guard saw the timing and walked around behind Xia He, stabbing Xia He with the sword in his hand without hesitation.

Xu Ming's expression changed, and he pulled Xia He over, but his arm hit the blade of the sword, and then a guard beside Xu Ming also took the opportunity to slash at Xu Ming with a knife.

Xu Ming closed his eyes, rolled over and covered Xia He with his body.

He didn't have time to think about anything else, he just knew he couldn't let the person in his arms get hurt.

Xia He froze in place, watching the cold knife swing towards Xu Ming who was hugging her tightly, she bit her lip, without the slightest hesitation, took a step back, leaned her body and pulled Xu Ming Fell into the surging river.

Xu Ming didn't have time to react, so he could only subconsciously hold Xia He tightly in his arms, but when he got to the river, it was pitch black, and the rushing water pushed him forward.

Xia He coughed violently after choking on a few sips of water.

Enduring the severe pain in his arm, Xu Ming barely controlled the direction, but there was nothing to rely on on the river, so he could only follow the trend.

The guards by the river were dumbfounded, what is this?
Just when everyone was having a headache about how to return to their lives, a group of people behind him had quietly approached, and those who followed Xu Junyan were all elite sergeants from Zhennanwei.

These are all those who followed Xu Junyan into Zhennanwei, and each of them is a one-to-one skill, and none of them survived the shadow of swords and swords on the battlefield.

Their skills were extremely vigorous, as if they had cast a net and quickly closed it, killing these people before the guards could react.

Xu Junyan looked at the dark river with a gloomy face, "Look along the bank! If you live, you want to see people, if you die, you want to see corpses!"

In the city, Xiao Ziyan moved even more nimbly, cooperating with Xu Junyan to force out all of King Xuan's troops. Several of King Xuan's men didn't receive King Xuan's intention, so they could only confront each other.

King Xuan heard more and more commotion in the courtyard, got out of bed, put on a gold embroidered robe casually, and left the inner room.

"What happened?!"

A group of lieutenants and generals all looked gloomy at this time, "My lord, several of our hidden stakes have been outflanked!"

King Xuan staggered, "Then what are you still doing here?! Let me go..."

"My lord... the last generals can't get out! The palace is surrounded by people!"

King Xuan's face was pale, and he pointed at the leading lieutenant general, speechless for a while.

"My lord..."

Suddenly several nursing homes rushed over, "My lord! They smashed the door!"

"Damn it! Is it okay to be my king dead?!"

Before the words fell, the surrounding voices immediately resounded through Prince Xuan's mansion, and King Xuan froze in place.

Finished!

He fell to the ground all at once.

The lieutenants and generals also rushed here without bringing any troops, so they could only draw out their swords and wait for their lives.

Xiao Ziyan looked at Xu Junyan who came a step late outside Xuanwang's mansion and said, "General Xu, can you go in?"

Xu Junyan nodded slightly, "Order me down, don't let the people in Prince Xuan's Mansion stay alive, Master Xiao's memorial has been written?"

Xiao Ziyan smiled and nodded, "Xiao does not dare to be sloppy, if the evidence of his treason against King Xuan can be found, then that's all. Even if he can't be found, Xiao is very prepared."

However, the fame and fame of the Xiao family cannot be tainted too much this time, but he is already very satisfied with the exception of Prince Xuan's Mansion.

The door had already been smashed open, and hundreds of Zhennan guards and Xiao family's dead soldiers and bodyguards all rushed into Xuanwang's mansion one after another. When the flames were shining in the sky, the sound of clashing swords and swords was intertwined with the exclamation of women...

King Xuan was found in a dry well, with a concubine Ji in his arms when he was disgraced.

After dragging out Queen Xuan, no one cared about the women in the well. A few sergeants poured oil down and threw torches, then ignored the screams inside and sealed the mouth of the well with boulders.

Everyone in Prince Xuan's Mansion will die.

Xu Junyan looked at the overlord who had occupied the south of the Yangtze River for more than ten years outside the blazing Xuanwang Mansion, "Can you be convicted of treason?"

King Xuan stared blankly at the astonished man in front of him, motionless.

Xiao Ziyan frowned, and asked, "Have any criminal evidence been found?"

Several generals took out a mahogany box with a lot of ledgers inside. Xu Junyan flipped through a few books and nodded, "Send it to Luoyang together with the memorial."

Suddenly, a sergeant rushed over, "General, King Xuan's soldiers and horses outside the city heard something wrong and have already rushed here to kill!"

"Close the city gate, and none of King Xuan's men and horses will be left at the gate." Xu Junyan's voice was so cold that Xiao Ziyan felt a little cold when he stood aside.

At this time, King Xuan seemed to be sober, pointing at Xu Junyan and said furiously: "How dare a mere lackey of the royal family dare to slander this king for rebellion?! This king will not spare you..."

Xu Junyan glanced at the general who was escorting King Xuan, "King Xuan knows that he is ashamed of his Majesty, so take poison and commit suicide."

As soon as the words fell, King Xuan was pressed to the ground, took off his chin and poured a pot of poisoned wine, curled up on the ground in an instant, and soon stopped moving.

"Remove the head and send it to Luoyang quickly with the memorial."

King Xuan has privately recruited soldiers and horses for a long time, but at this moment there is no one who leads troops to send generals, and these tens of thousands of soldiers and horses have just been removed one by one without leaving any behind.

"Tell those people who are staring at Meng Tian to do it cleanly."

This time it can be said to kill two birds with one stone. If it weren't for Xia He's incident, it would have been more neat. Thinking of Xu Ming and Xia He's whereabouts were unknown, Xu Junyan frowned.

Xu Ming is his confidant, and also a fateful friendship. If Xu Ming hadn't taken into account his secret status, he would have been able to become a general, but Xia He was a doomed fate for him.

Doom...

If something happened to Jiang Jinyan, would he still be so calm?
If it's a robbery, so what if you give up everything...

He looked at Prince Xuan's Mansion, which was ablaze with flames behind him, and there was a hint of warmth in his eyes.

Fang Licheng took advantage of the time when the Xiao family was too busy to take care of himself. He returned to Luoyang with the memorial to Beijing. He didn't show his signs. He didn't see it with his own eyes. He just heard about the chaos in the south of the Yangtze River and Xu Junyan. A majestic and unparalleled fame.

General Xu's heroic deeds of suppressing the rebellion with the death of a crime swept Luoyang with the news of success from the south of the Yangtze River.

Wang Zhao didn't hear from Meng Tian for a long time, but Xu Junyan was waiting for him because he had made great contributions to the rebellion. When he went to court, he stood on the Jinluan Hall and listened to the news of Jiangnan's success, with an extremely gloomy expression on his face.

The one with the same bad face was Xu Junhui. He didn't expect that just after he had been comfortable for a while, that bastard was going to be promoted again!Are you going to surpass yourself this time?

And King Duan had already reported his illness and rested in the palace for more than ten days. He originally thought that King Xuan would be escorted to Luoyang. At that time, he could force King Xuan to hand over the important things in his hands.

Died of taking poison?He knew King Xuan very well, if he said that this was not Xu Junyan's handwriting, he would never believe it!
King Xuan is dead, and Prince Xuan's mansion was completely burned down. Then all the forces of King Xuan in the south of the Yangtze River include soldiers, horses and financial resources...

He viciously threw down the yellow-glazed and purple-colored goblet with figures and flowers.

"Yan Rang, tell me to go on, Mrs. Liu will also die of a sudden illness."

Yan Rang bowed and quickly retreated. He could see that the prince was very angry this time!
Mrs. Liu must die, and Prince Xuan's mansion is taken away. She, the concubine Ji who came out of Prince Xuan's mansion, will be the reason if she lives again.

In the backyard, Liu Mei looked at the women in front of her with a pale face who were holding poisoned wine, took a step back, and said sharply, "What are you going to do? I'm the prince's man!"

A woman sneered and said, "King Xuan's plot to rebel is dead, you, a Ji who came out of Prince Xuan's mansion, can still live? Don't talk nonsense with her, let's go and return the prince as soon as possible."

When Liu Mei heard the fall of Prince Xuan's mansion, her body softened and she fell to the ground.

She was numbly opened her mouth, she couldn't taste the taste of poisonous wine, only a biting cold, yes, she was going to die.

"Is it dead? Drag it out and throw it far away."

Several wives kicked the flirtatious woman shrunk into a ball on the ground with disheveled clothes, and spat, "It's useless to look like a vixen, who made you unlucky."

The death of a concubine in Duanwang's mansion was so trivial that it could not even be heard in the front yard, but it was quickly passed on to all the mansions by the eyeliner of each mansion. Even Emperor Yongning closed his eyes and fell silent for a moment when he heard the news.

At this time, some people in Huaizhou in the south of the Yangtze River are still in panic. The market is not worth mentioning, the situation is unstable, who dares to come out and make trouble.

Xu Junyan had already handed over the pacification of the city to the Xiao family, and then he led his troops along the river bank to continue searching for Xu Ming and Xia He.

Hundreds of people had already searched for more than 100 miles along the river, but there was no sign of Xu Ming and Xia He.

One night had passed, Xu Junyan stood by the river and looked at the rolling river, frowned and said word by word: "Continue to search."

In the bushes at this time, Xia He was exhausted and dragged the unconscious Xu Ming to an elm tree with a thick bowl mouth.

It was already dawn, and she saw Xu Ming's arm tightly protecting her with a wound with deep bone visible, and the edge had been soaked white by the river water and swelled up.

"Xu Ming! Wake up!" Xia He was frightened for no reason. She glanced at Xu Ming's pale face, and touched Xu Ming's breath with trembling hands.

Well, there is still breathing.

She wiped the river water from Xu Ming's face, but when she lowered her head, she saw faint blood stains on the ground. She thought of the knife that was swung at Xu Ming before jumping into the river, so she quickly lifted half of his body, and sure enough, there was still blood on his back. Bleeding faintly, the black robe was stained with a hint of dark red, and it was smudged again.

How to do?How to do!
"Xu Ming! Don't scare me! Can I admit my mistake to you... It's my fault... I know you have something important to do, but why did you come to Jiangnan... What do you mean by lying here?! Remember to hate me You? Get up...I beg you...don't sleep! Don't you listen to me? You are cheating!"

As she spoke, she couldn't cry anymore, and the tears mixed with the river water flowed to her mouth, bitter from the salt.

She has always been well protected, but when she suddenly saw the person who had always been protecting her lying motionless in front of her eyes, her mind was completely blank...

"do not Cry……"

A big hand that was soaked white by the river water held up a jade hairpin and handed it to her eyes tremblingly.
