Phoenix that can't smile

Chapter 719 Cruelty
"Marshal, I seem to have seen that female general before." Conley suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly reported to Boli.

"Kangli, tell me quickly, who is this woman?" Bo Li grabbed Conley's clothes and asked eagerly.

"Marshal, this woman is most likely the Empress Dowager Baosi!" Kang Li said in great doubt.

"It's this Bao Si, Kang Li, your opinion coincides with this commander's. It's the woman who made Die Tu crazy. I didn't expect that Die Tu would be so presumptuous. She even concealed the truth from the emperor of Dazhou and quietly took over the Queen Mother. It's ridiculous that the water dragon pass is so intimate!" Bo Li suddenly laughed strangely.

"Yes, Marshal, the general understands. Do you want to uglify this matter and make it up, and then spread it around in the Zhou Dynasty, so it's best to let that novice boy know!" Conley suddenly realized, and suggested again and again.

"The turning point lies in this plan, Kangli, hurry up and choose smart spies, infiltrate the capital of the Zhou Dynasty, and follow the plan secretly!" Bo Li was immediately satisfied.

A few days later, Qu Tu found out at Shuilongguan that the Xirong soldiers did not retreat to the grassland, but retreated for several miles, and stood still. He felt very strange and immediately asked Cheng Rong for advice.

"Ku Tu, I think Xirong must have some vicious conspiracy, so he deliberately confuses us, maybe it's spreading rumors, or maybe he learned a secret from our place!" Cheng Rong felt that the situation was not good, and quickly reminded Hu Tu.

"What's the secret? Could it be that Xi Rong found out about Si'er's stay at Shuilongguan?" Qu Tu was suddenly taken aback.

"Ju Tu, immediately send someone to the capital to report to the emperor, saying that the Empress Dowager and the Princess have been rescued by us since the fire broke out in Lishan Mountain. We must clarify the truth of the matter before Xirong spies spread rumors!" Cheng Rong couldn't help it. I was so scared that my forehead was sweating.

"My lord, let Yan Chao go to Beijing immediately!" Deputy General Yan Chao volunteered.

"Okay, Yan Chao, after you arrive in Beijing, immediately have an audience with the emperor, don't hesitate!" Cheng Rong instructed.

In the capital city, the Hall of Shuilong Shuren, due to the widespread rumor among the folks that Digging robbed the Queen Mother in Lishan Mountain without authorization, and got married in private, the first-time cultivators became extremely angry and felt extremely humiliated. Bao Si's gossip, unexpectedly at this time, Yan Chao went to Beijing and presented Cheng Rong's letterhead.

"Oh? It turns out that Jutu really brought the queen mother to the water tap. It's really funny, he even recognized it himself!" Chuxiu opened it up and looked at it carefully, and couldn't laugh or cry.

"Your Majesty, don't believe the sophistry of that guy who is digging, he is afraid that the emperor will know his rebellious behavior, so he deliberately did it to cover his eyes!" Ma Yan tried his best to raise his wat and taunted him.

"That's right, Your Majesty, it's clear that Ju Tu wanted to hold the Queen Mother hostage to plot a rebellion, and this traitor must not be allowed to succeed!" Fang Yun immediately encouraged him from the sidelines.

"Your Majesty, I believe that the rumors spread in the capital are obviously the Xirong people's plan to sow discord. I have already caught several Xirong spies in the capital. Please look into it clearly." Ming Chao stepped forward to report to Chuxiu with righteous indignation road.

"Xirong spies? Mingchao, don't forget, the last time Xirong sent people to spread rumors, saying that Quetu brought his family to Shuilongguan, I thought it was a lie to confuse the public, now I see that girl is clearly Wan Yun Princess! Since this is a rescue, why didn’t you come to report it?” Chuxiu thought about it, and suddenly flew into a rage.

"Your Majesty, but the Xirong spies have indeed confessed!" Ming Chao quickly ordered his subordinates to bring the three Xirong spies up.

Chuxiu sized up a few Xirong spies, but he couldn't figure out whether it was true or not, so he ordered the Criminal Department to put them in prison and interrogate them severely.

"Your Majesty, it is actually very easy to find out whether Dutu has rebelled. I suggest that all Zheng Guogong's mansion be imprisoned and severely tortured. Sooner or later, something important will come out!" Fang Yun slyly smiled and encouraged Chu Xiudao.

"That's it, come here, put Mrs. Zheng Guogong and her family in jail, and torture them!" Chuxiu Longyan was furious, and left with a wave of his sleeves.

Jiang Caibing and Xinyue were both tied to the pillars in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice. The jailer was extremely vicious. He swung an inflated whip and beat the two women fiercely. Weeping loudly: "Our Dugtu is Zheng Guogong, my father is Qihou, how dare you treat me like this?"

"Hahaha, Mrs. Jiang, to put it bluntly, depending on who you are, as long as you enter this prison, you will only have to suffer, and no one can beg for mercy. To be honest, quickly confess whether Qu Tu is a rebellion. If you do, Maybe I won't beat you!" The jailer couldn't help laughing out loud.

"Bah, boy, our family is loyal and loyal to the country, how can we rebel? Stop talking nonsense to my old lady!" Jiang Caibing uttered obscenities in desperation.

"Damn it, beat me!" The jailer was furious, and he swung the whip desperately, and beat him thirty times. Jiang Caibing couldn't stand the pain immediately, and fainted.

"Give me that one who doesn't talk again!" The jailer cast his ferocious eyes on the sneering Xinyue.

The thug raised a big stick and waved hello to Xinyue without thinking. Xinyue's head was bleeding immediately, but she didn't say a word.

"Send people to watch her day and night, beat and scold her day and night!" Ma Yan, who was interrogating her, became furious and roared hoarsely.

When Xirong's spies heard that Quetu's family had been imprisoned, they secretly rejoiced, and immediately returned to Xirong's camp with the good news and reported it to Boli.

"Kangli, you are really clever. Now that Dig Tu is unable to return home and the country is in trouble, he immediately sent spies to harass everywhere under the water dragon pass, and told Dig Tu loudly that his whole family has been imprisoned and will be punished by the Emperor of Zhou. Chop, let's see how much he wants to defend there!" Bo Li suddenly said wildly.

"Hey! Kid Tutu, you are finished. Your emperor has already believed that you rebelled and sent your whole family to death row. Even if you defend Shuilongguan, it is useless!" Xirong's cavalry shouted day and night at Shuilongguan. Zhou Jun talked about it for a while, and the army's morale was in turmoil.

"It's not good, my lord, the Xirong Rangers are spreading rumors everywhere, saying that our family's female family members have been put in death row, and the emperor already believes that you are going to rebel!" An Tong was suddenly worried, and hurried to report to Que Tu.

Kuang Tu was observing the map with Cheng Rong, and when he heard the bad news, he was stunned.

"How is this possible? Master Cheng, didn't we send the memorial to the imperial court?" Qu Tu suddenly lost his head and said.

"It seems that the emperor must have been deceived by those traitors, and he actually arrested the general's relatives before the battle, what a fool!" Cheng Rong couldn't help but beat his feet and chest.

"My lord, what should we do now? Shall we send the empress dowager and the princess back to Beijing?" An Tong said tremblingly.

"No, the Queen Mother will definitely be killed by traitors when she returns to Beijing. We must defend Shuilongguan, control the Huben Army, and defeat Xirong's invasion. Only then can we protect all innocent people!" Cheng Rong said resolutely.

"Yes, Master Cheng, how do we repel Xirong now?" Que Tu asked Cheng Rong in a firm tone.

"Excavation, it's very simple. Since Xirong is so shameless, let's pretend that the army is in disarray and deliberately reduce the number of troops defending the city every day. In this way, Xirong must suspect that we have returned to Beijing to rescue our family members. At this time, we will slowly lure Xirong into the trap. Annihilate the enemy!" At this moment, the curtain was lifted slowly, and Baosi with a determined face stood in front of Qutu and the generals like a plum blossom in the wind.

"Queen Mother!" Jue Tu hurried forward, looking at the serious Bao Si with moist eyes.

"Ju Tu, this crime was caused by me, I must save your family!" Bao Si said stubbornly, parting her red lips.

"Jiang Caibing, Xinyue, and two children, even if they are together, it's not worth the Queen Mother's trouble!" Jue Tu knelt heavily on one leg.

After many days of torture in Luoyang Prison, Jiang Caibing and Xinyue's delicate skin and tender flesh had turned into festered flesh. Jiang Caibing, who was heartbroken, suddenly turned her head and asked Xinyue with a sneer, "I mean sister, how can you dig a hole?" He and Bao Si are together all day, will he not come back to save us? He really doesn't take us seriously?"

"Ma'am, don't worry, Jutu will never ignore us and disappear with the Queen Mother alone!" A longing smile appeared on Xinyue's lips.

"Even if Que Tu and Bao Si fly side by side, I wish them the best of luck in finally living their own lives, and we can die without regrets, so I hope that Que Tu will never come back to save us." Xinyue opened her eyes. , could not help but muttered again.

"Hahaha, Xinyue, I didn't expect that you would be the one who truly and selflessly loves Dugtu in the end?" Jiang Caibing couldn't help but also suddenly smiled.

When the water dragon was turned off, because Que Tu hadn't shown his head, and because the army was in a state of panic, Boli, who had received the report, believed that Que Tu had indeed led the army back to Beijing for a coup d'état, so he led the cavalry unscrupulously to take advantage of the night. Shuilongguan launched a surprise attack. Sure enough, Zhou Jun fought for an hour and was completely defeated. Boli entered Shuilongguan smoothly. Sure enough, he found that Qutu had already withdrawn at all. Satisfied, he immediately ordered that the whole army strive to kill Qutu.

The soldiers of Xi Rong screamed and chased the Hu Ben army who was digging with all their strength. Along the way, they met Zhou Jun’s deserters several times, and felt that Zhou’s army was distracted. Bo Li laughed wildly at Kang Li and said: "Kang Li, this time Digging is decisive. I can't escape from the clutches of this commander, and I can finally avenge my elder brother's revenge with my own hands!"

"Commander, Jue Tu will not be able to run very far with the Queen Mother Baosi and the princess. I think it is better for the last general to lead a personal army to chase and intercept, and the commander will cover up and kill him later. What do you think?" Kang Li happily asked. road.

"Okay, Conley, if you really take off Dutu's head, I will definitely count it as your first achievement!" Bo Li couldn't help but overjoyed.

It was late autumn and early winter, and the cold wind was biting. In the middle of the night, Bo Li led the main force to a cliff with grimaces carved on it. He was horrified to find that the foothills in front were covered with corpses of soldiers from the West. , has disappeared, leaving only a headless body.

"No, I fell for Cheng Rong's trick!" Kangli just woke up, but he didn't expect a ghostly wind, and a spear passed through his chest, scaring Boli back on his horse and fleeing. Suddenly, the lights in the valley flickered , Countless arrows fell like heavy rain, killing the Xirong soldiers on their backs. As soon as Boli turned his head, he was horrified to see that Quetu was already holding a spear, blocking his retreat. Among the generals, the leader is Cheng Rong, one of them is a heroic female general, Bo Li immediately identified her as Baosi.
