Phoenix that can't smile

Chapter 724
In Luoyang, the capital city, at Caishikou in the center, a group of mighty people escorted two large prison carts, and they drove fiercely in front of all the people who came to watch the execution.

Que Tu's expression was very unbearable, wearing tattered prison clothes, he and Jin Wang Shui Jian looked at each other and laughed.

"Come here, don't show me the beheading!" Xue Ju, the Duke of Yue who supervised the beheading, shouted orders almost hysterically.

"My lord, the little lady has a secret memorial and wants to show her face to the adults!" At this moment, a village woman in a dress suddenly knelt down on her legs and knelt in the middle of the execution stage, holding a letter in her hand. Memorial.

"Bold woman! Only imperial court officials can write memorials. You woman dare to openly stir up trouble. Come and beat people with sticks!" Xue Ju almost jumped up out of anger, pointing to the left and right and shouting.

"My lord, this letter is related to the important actions of the rebels. If you don't read it yourself, I'm afraid you will regret it for the rest of your life!" The village woman suddenly smiled fearlessly.

"Okay, you brave shrew!" Xue Ju carefully looked at the village woman kneeling on the ground, and suddenly found that she had a pretty face, and under the messy bun, there was actually a peerless appearance hidden. He took the memorial from the village woman, and firmly held down the village woman's wrist, refusing to let go.

"My lord, what does this mean? Don't you want to know what is in the letter?" The village woman smiled deliberately.

"Well, little lady, I want to see what kind of memorial you, a rural woman, can produce?" Xue Ju smiled arrogantly, and immediately opened the memorial. There was not a word, but a dagger was shown.

At this time, the village woman's nimble hand joints had tightly grasped the dagger, and it calmly reached Xue Ju's throat.

"Bold, you dare to assassinate this official?" Xue Ju, whose face was pale with fright, suddenly trembled.

"I'm afraid of death, I'm Xinyue, the wife of Qutu. If you are sensible, let Qutu and King Jin go quickly, otherwise, I will send you on your way immediately!" Xinyue flicked her hair, revealing her piercing eyes.

"It turned out to be the woman of Qutu, but if you dare to touch the Duke of this country, the emperor will definitely kill you all!" Xue Ju threatened loudly on purpose.

"Dog! If you don't let go, then I won't talk nonsense with you!" Xinyue smiled at the crowd, and suddenly, a few guards flew out from the crowd, raised their swords high, and disarmed the swordsmen on the spot.

"Quick, kill Qudu immediately!" Xue Ju was dumbfounded immediately, and yelled at the soldiers on the monitoring platform.

"Forget it, Duke Yue, the so-called knife-axe player is actually a cameo by the old man himself!" At this time, the knife-axe player who was holding the excavation laughed and took off the beard on his cheeks, revealing Ming Chao's face .

"Ming Chao, you traitor, how dare you cheat secretly?" Xue Ju screamed wildly.

"Madam Zheng, hurry up and send Qutu and King Jin on their horses, let's get out of the city quickly!" Ming Chao couldn't help but get on the carriage, and drove the cart to overwhelm the soldiers' interception on the spot. Tuhe Jin Wang Shuijian got on his horse and galloped away, almost without a trace.

"A bunch of trash, why don't you chase after them immediately!" Xue Ju yelled orders hysterically, and the guards who were stunned just now chased Xinyue's group like a tide and shot arrows violently.

When they arrived at Luoyang City, the gate of the city had already been opened under the command of Cheng Rong. Ming Chao drove the cart, took Jiang Caibing and the two digging children first across the pontoon bridge, and then, the troops led by Xue Ju Already rushing forward, besieging Xinyue and a few soldiers of the Huben army.

"Xinyue, hurry up, I can't just run away in such a mess, and I'm going to hang out in Dazhou in the future, I can't be so ignorantly framed and slandered as a traitor!" Que Tu jumped from the body of the guard. Get off, pushing Xinyue and shouting loudly.

"Ju Tu, if you are a man, follow me, Xinyue, and go out of Luoyang to see the Empress Dowager Ping, aren't you worried about her? If you give up now, who will know that you were wronged and framed in the future?" Xinyue resolutely stared at Die. Sudden, calmly persuaded.

"Okay, Xinyue, I'll run!" Ju Tufei got on the bay red horse, and King Jin didn't let his subordinates help him, and turned around to chase Xue Ju with the bow and arrow in his hand to shoot.

A sharp cold arrow, like lightning, hit Xue Ju's horse's head, throwing Xue Ju on his back, staring at his eyes, when he was struggling to get up, the digging bay red horse roared towards Xue Ju, and a saber went straight to Xue Ju Xue Ju was so frightened that he rolled and scrambled, and fled back desperately. Taking advantage of this opportunity, he and King Jin safely left the city gate of Luoyang and disappeared into the early morning smog.

This road is a long journey, digging out the scars all over the body, galloping forward, trying to reach Shuilong Pass in the fastest time, and then raise troops to serve the king, kill the thieves, and take revenge.

"Qutu, we finally escaped from Luoyang, but after this, we will also become enemies of the imperial court. Look, how will we save Dazhou in the future?" Jin Wang Shuijian asked Qutu worriedly.

"My lord, those who are virtuous in the world are based on this. Now the emperor listens to the slanderous slander and excludes our loyal ministers. Of course, we must hold the banner of the Qing emperor, raise troops to kill the rebels, and restore the court of the Great Zhou Dynasty. The first traitor is that one." Eunuch Tusheng, as well as Duke Xue Ju and Fang Yun!" Que Tu shouted loudly, gnashing his teeth.

"Qutu, okay, since this is the case, I, Shuijian, will fight side by side with you!" Shuijian couldn't help but smile.

"Of course I was able to get out of danger this time, and I relied on Xinyue!" At this time, Jue Tu suddenly came to Xinyue's horse with a big smile, and hugged Xinyue off the horse.

"Quitu, the water dragon will be closed soon. Look, Master Cheng Rong has brought an army to welcome us!" Xinyue Liumei pointed to the distance.

"Brother Cheng Rong!" Qutu was overjoyed immediately, galloping his horse, he came to Cheng Rong, followed by Ming Chao.

"The imperial court murdered Zhongliang and killed many innocent heroes. The world is about to go into chaos again. Fortunately, the Empress Dowager Ping is already sitting in Shuilongguan. The Empress Dowager Ping ordered us to lead a [-] Huben army to defeat King Riqin and return to Luoyang. Kill the traitor!" Cheng Rong took out the will with great satisfaction, and handed it over to Qutu.

"Let's go, brother Cheng, let's go back to see the Queen Mother!" Qu Tu couldn't help but said happily.

"Ju Tu, now the enemy army is following us to attack, and the general is the old thief Xue Ju. Let's take advantage of their undefended, suddenly come back, and attack the enemy camp at night, we must surprise the Queen Mother!" Cheng Rong stroked his beard shrewdly. laughed.

"Brother Cheng is really a clever plan!" Ming Chao immediately praised happily, and the Huben Army immediately under the command of Dug Tu and Cheng Rong, took advantage of the night to sneak into the camp of Yue Guogong Xue Ju, Xue Ju The vanguard is the general opening.

Towards the moonlight, Que Tu dispatched a small team of men and horses, with tinder in their hands, to set fire to the camp secretly. With only one face to face, the spear stabbed under the horse, dug out the waist knife, and quickly chopped off the open head.

"Kill!" Immediately, the momentum of the tiger's army rose, and they broke through the fence and attacked with all their strength, killing Zhou Jun's ghosts and howling. .

"Mr. Yue, Quetu doesn't have many soldiers. If we fight back together, we will definitely be able to annihilate Quetu!" Fang Yun said with a high toe, stopping Xue Ju.

"Okay, Fang Yun, let's go back together and teach Dug Tu and Cheng Rong a lesson!" Xue Ju was also arrogant, and he drove his horse back into the palace. Unexpectedly, the soldiers commanded by Cheng Rong blocked the way forward with huge stones on the way , Fang Yun was angry when suddenly a huge boulder rolled over and threw countless rolling logs from the top of the mountain, causing heavy casualties to Fang Yun's army. Xue Ju became furious and sent troops to attack the mountain. Behind Yun, they attacked fiercely. The iron cavalry of the Huben army were so sharp that they killed Zhou's soldiers on their backs, and their corpses were scattered all over the field. The floating corpses of Xue Ju's soldiers were everywhere on the hillside. Rong led the cavalry to attack, killing a river of blood overnight, Xue Ju and Fang Yun were defeated, and led the rest of the army to flee all the way, hiding in Zhaoguan and holding on without fighting.

"Marshal Jutu, this battle was really fun. The villain Xue Ju can only spread rumors and frame Zhongliang. If he really fights us face to face, he will be a bunch of trash!" After dawn, Jin Wang Shuijian's army also rushed Come to join forces, in one night's battle, a total of [-] Zhou troops were beheaded, and Xue Ju was almost completely defeated.

"Cheng Rong, shall we continue to besiege Zhaoguan, or return to Shuilongguan to meet the Queen Mother?" Qu Tu couldn't help asking Cheng Rong.

"Ju Tu, let's go back to Shuilongguan now, and we will be passive if we stop our troops. It is better to give Xue Ju a chance to escape, so that he will return to Luoyang and continue to gather troops for a decisive battle. We can wipe out the enemy in field battles." Army!" Cheng Rong said happily.

At Shuilongguan, Empress Dowager Ping Baosi stood on the city wall with beautiful face and frowning eyebrows. The pearl tassels in front of her eyes had already begun to sway, and the figure of the protruding figure had gradually become clear.
