Chapter 1024: Faint Lord

After Tie Kui walked out of the palace, his face darkened. Seeing this, the others did not dare to speak to him.

Liu Xiajiang was very close to Tie Kui, he stepped forward and said, "Brother Tie, let's go out for a drink or two." Perhaps, this was the last time we drank together.

Tie Kui hummed and said: "Okay." It happened that he also asked Liu Xiajiang for something.

The two went to Deyuelou, the largest restaurant. After entering the private room, the food and wine are served, and then let people go down.

When there were only two people left in the room, Tie Kui said angrily: "So many people volunteered to stay in the capital, but they chose me. I was asked to kill the refugees before, but now I am sent to die. I don't understand what I am Where is it blocking his eyes?" The two were close, and Tie Kui often complained in front of Liu Xiajiang. Of course, Liu Xiajiang also had many complaints.

Liu Xiajiang also felt that Tie Kui was very unlucky: "It's useless to say this now, we have to find a good way to get out." The two came out of Tongcheng, and after so many years of friendship, he didn't want to see Tie Kui go to die.

After drinking the wine in the glass in one gulp, Tie Kui said bitterly: "Is there any way to get out? The emperor obviously wants me to die, so what else can I do." After finishing speaking, he put the glass heavily on the table Up: "It's because I'm not the emperor's confidant, so the emperor has been on guard. Now, I can only be cannon fodder."

Liu Xiajiang has sympathy in his heart. He is not Yan Wushuang's confidant either. Not only has he been suppressed all these years, but his military salary has not been paid on time. It is really not easy to survive until now.

Tie Kui raised his wine glass and said to Liu Xiajiang: "Brother Liu, I have something to ask you, I hope you can agree."

Liu Xiajiang responded immediately: "You say, as long as I can do it, I will never refuse."

"Mr. Lu took Fang Hui and Fang Jia to Liaodong. I can't escape this time. I beg you to take care of them more in the future." Yan Wushuang must have sent someone to watch him.

Liu Xiajiang responded immediately: "Don't worry, I will definitely treat Fang Hui and the others as my own sons."

After finishing speaking, Tie Kui raised the wine glass in his hand and said, "Brother Liu, with your words, my brother can feel at ease when he gets to the Nine Springs."

I have an errand, so I can't drink for too long. The two drank a few glasses of wine and then went home.

Back home, Zhong Shantong saw that Tie Kui's expression was not right, and asked, "Master, what's the matter?"

Tie Kui said: "The emperor has already appointed Gao Dongnan as the chief general of the defenders, and Gui Sanliang and I as the deputy generals." He originally thought that Yan Wushuang would appoint him as the chief general of the defenders, but he did not expect that things would be unexpected.

Zhong Shantong was stunned: "Master, isn't Gao Dongnan a close friend of Yan Wushuang? How can he stay in the capital?"

Tie Kui shook his head: "I suspect that something has changed in the battle ahead, otherwise Yan Wushuang wouldn't have appointed Gao Dongnan as the main general?" But he didn't know what it was.

Zhong Shantong was very puzzled: "At most, he will be defeated. What else can happen?"

Tie Kui shook his head, he just felt that this was abnormal: "During this period of time, except for the purchasers, try not to leave the house." After the Lu family incident came out last year, Tie Kui took the opportunity to clear out a large number of people to go out. Now the mansion serves less than half of the original servants.

Zhong Shantong understood this, and said, "Is the master worried that the capital will be corrupted?"

"It's not that I'm worried, but I'm sure I'll be killed. As soon as the news of the emperor's retreat to Liaodong comes out, the capital will fall into chaos." After finishing speaking, Tong Shan said, "In two days, I will pick fifty elite soldiers. to the mansion." These people were there to protect Xiao's mother and daughter.

Zhong Shantong said: "I hope King Ming can come in soon." In this way, the situation will stabilize soon.

At noon the next day, Falcon was so frightened that his face changed when he learned about Dongluo County. almost, almost,

Yan Wushuang's conspiracy succeeded.

Chi Ying asked: "What? Flooded Dongluo County?"

Falcon hummed and said: "The princess suspected Yan Wushuang's conspiracy before, but unfortunately we didn't find out anything. Fortunately, the son was vigilant, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous." If the prince and the son have troubles, let alone attack Both the capital and the northwest are unstable.

Chi Ying snorted coldly and said: "What a vicious mind. Yan Wushuang also invested money this time, and we didn't get any news about such a big deal." It's not that Falcon and the others are incompetent, but Yan Wushuang's The plan is very secretive and very few people know about it.

After finishing speaking, Chi Ying said: "Boss, he actually flooded Dongluo County. He didn't care about the life and death of the people at all. Boss, we must publicize this matter so that everyone in the world knows about Yan Wushuang. true face."

Falcon nodded and said, "Yes." Facts speak louder than words, and Yan Wushuang can't quibble about this.

Chi Ying immediately went out.

Mr. Gao took his son Gao Qiang out to buy food. Although they hid a lot of food in the secret cellar, they had to go out to buy food every day in order not to attract attention. As soon as I came out this time, I heard the news that Dongluo County was flooded.

Mr. Gao's complexion changed slightly, he pulled Gao Qiang who was about to run over to listen carefully, and said, "Hurry up."

The father and son didn't go far when they saw a group of officers and soldiers coming to arrest the two who said that the court had flooded Dongluo. Seeing this, the two ran away immediately, and one of them ran slowly and was caught. The officers and soldiers didn't talk nonsense, they chopped off his head directly, and the blood splashed all over the ground.

Seeing his son's face changed, Mr. Gao held his hand and said, "Hurry up and go."

The two of them didn't go home, but went to the grain store. At this time, the grain has increased twenty-fold, but even so, there is still no shortage of people in front of the grain shop.

The two bought twenty catties of coarse grain. Gao Qiang has a lot of strength, and it is not a problem to carry twenty catties of grain.

It's very crowded outside now, no one wants to come out if there is nothing to do, so there are not many people on the street. Suddenly two people came out from an alley. Although these two people were tall, they were very thin.

Mr. Gao and Gao Qiang didn't see each other, and they just wanted to shout. The tall man on the opposite side took out a knife and said, "Look, it's the officers and soldiers who came faster, or my knife."

Mr. Gao grabbed his son with bulging veins and said to the four of them, "As long as you don't hurt anyone, I can give you food."

Seeing Mr. Gao's sense of humor, the tall one said: "We only ask for food and money, not your lives." It means to ask Mr. Gao and Gao Qiang to hand over all the money as well.

Mr. Gao escaped the shriveled purse from his sleeve and said, "All our money has been used to buy food." Now that the world is so corrupt, Mr. Gao's family wears coarse clothes. In order not to make people suspicious, the adults of their family deliberately do not eat enough every day. So this time, the father and son not only looked thin, but also had a sallow complexion.

The thin man said humanely: "Second brother, quickly grab the food and leave." If the officers and soldiers came, they would all die. It is already a surprise to get a bag of grain.

Gao Qiang held the food and refused to give it: "Father, give them the food. What will Mother and the children eat?" This was agreed before they came out. If someone grabs the food, let Gao Qiang act reluctantly.

The tall one put the knife on Gao Qiang's waist and said, "Do you want life or food?"

Mr. Gao immediately said: "Food is more important than life? If something happens to you, how will your mother and I live? Hurry up and give them the food."

At this time, there was a burst of loud footsteps not far away. The man didn't care about Gao Qiang anymore, grabbed the food and ran away.

When the officers and soldiers arrived, the two had disappeared. Gao Qiang and his son returned home with a look of mourning.

The neighbors next door came back empty-handed, and Mr. Gao was still supported by Gao Qiang, and asked: "Old man Gao, didn't you go to buy food?" Everyone knows.

Mr. Gao said with a bitter face: "Don't mention it, the food was robbed by the gangsters. Fortunately, the officers and soldiers came quickly, otherwise they might not even die."

After saying a few words, the father and son went home. After entering the house and closing the door, Mr. Gao immediately straightened his waist, looking completely different from the previous appearance.

Seeing that the two were empty-handed, Yu Rong asked, "What happened?" Hearing that the food was robbed, Yu Rong hurriedly said, "Sir, it's too dangerous outside now, so don't go out anymore." She didn't want Mr. Gao to go out ,Too dangerous. Although Mr. Gao is old, he is the backbone of a group of them.

Although Mr. Gao was very calm when facing the gangsters, in fact he was terribly scared: "I won't go out again."

Yurong nodded when she heard this, and said, "Let Aqiang and Adong handle things in the future." Adong was the guard she invited, and was left behind because she was alone. All the others with families and mouths were fired.

After sitting down, Mr. Gao told everyone what he had just heard.

When Mr. Gao's daughter-in-law heard this, she asked incredulously, "Father, is this true?"

Mr. Gao said with a serious face: "The so-called groundless truth is probably true."

"How can you do such insane things." Mr. Gao's daughter-in-law was born in a commoner, and she knows the suffering of ordinary people best.

Yu Rong also scolded: "Foolish Lord." Only a faint king can do such a thing.

Mr. Gao's attention was not here, and he said: "Dongluo County is under the jurisdiction of Baoding. Dongluo County has fallen, and King Ming will soon attack the capital."

Yurong immediately said: "Then shall we hide in the Duke's mansion?" Although the Dongluo County incident made her angry, it was not as important as her own life.

Mr. Gao said: "The soldiers and horses of the imperial court are fleeing. I think at most one month, King Ming will come to the capital. At that time, we will take refuge in the Duke's Mansion." Before King Ming came, the capital must be in chaos. .

Yu Rong hummed and said: "Listen to you, sir."

After hesitating for a while, Yurong said: "Sir, I want Yu Dong to go to my younger brother Jiancheng's place." Yan Wushuang couldn't take care of himself, so he didn't care about other people's lives. The road from the capital to Liaodong is so far away, there is a messy area, who knows if it will be able to reach Liaodong safely.

Mr. Gao had a good impression of Han Jiancheng, so he didn't object: "Let Qiangzi follow!" There were officers and soldiers patrolling outside from time to time, and the area was full of ordinary people, so there was no danger for the time being.

In the evening, Yu Dong and Gao Qiang came back. And Han Jiancheng also came along. But Han Jiancheng didn't come to seek refuge with Yurong, but to say goodbye to her: "Sister, I'm leaving for Liaodong tomorrow."

Yurong said with an unhappy expression: "Jiancheng, Yan Wushuang has flooded Dongluo County, and you still want to follow him to Liaodong?" This is no different from seeking your own death.

Han Jiancheng also heard the news, and immediately said: "Sister, this must be a rumor spread by the rebels." Anyway, he was determined not to believe that the emperor would do such a thing.

Yurong said: "Ah Cheng, let's not say whether this news is true or not. Just talk about the current situation. Do you think Yan Wushuang can hold Liaodong? Once Liaodong falls, what will you do then?" At that time, even retreated All gone.

Han Jiancheng smiled bitterly and said, "Sister, Ah Yao and the others went to Liaodong, I can't leave them alone." If Lu Yao and the child hadn't gone to Liaodong, he would have stayed. But now, he has no choice.

Yurong opened her mouth, and finally swallowed the words that stopped her: "Do you have enough money on your body? If not, I have some here."

How could Han Jiancheng have the face to ask for Yurong's money: "I have money on me." The current situation made him regret a bit, regretting that he should not have listened to Lu Yao's words and became an official. But at this point, it's useless to regret.

After Han Jiancheng was sent away, Yurong felt sick all over.

Pick City is far away from Dongluo County, Yuxi got the news two days later than Yan Wushuang.

After hearing this, Yuxi frowned and said: "Don't blame my right eyelid for the past two days has been twitching." She has been restless these two days, and she didn't expect something to happen. Fortunately, Qihao was vigilant and discovered Yan Wushuang's conspiracy in time, otherwise she would not have been able to imagine what would happen after the incident.

Si Bonian said: "Yan Wushuang is too shameless, and such a thing can be done."

Yuxi didn't speak ill of Yan Wushuang, but said: "If his plot succeeds, then he will gain a lot." At that time, not only will Yan Wushuang not have to retreat to Liaodong, but she will also be forced into a desperate situation. middle. However, this method also has great consequences, that is, it will scare many officials and generals with conscience. In addition, once this matter is successful, Yan Wushuang will leave a bad name for thousands of years. Now that it fails, he doesn't need to leave a bad reputation for thousands of years, because he will definitely refuse to admit it.

Si Bonian was still very resentful: "Princess, this matter must be announced to the world, so that everyone in the world knows what a cold-blooded and ruthless person Yan Wushuang is." As a king, he personally put his own people to death. Back to Liaodong.

In fact, there is no need to announce to the world, everyone knows that Yan Wushuang is a ruthless and cold-blooded person.

After finishing speaking, Yuxi ordered: "Immediately summon Tan Tuo, An Zike, and Shen Chunting." There was a flood in Dongluo County, and they must provide relief.

Spernian hurriedly responded and left.

Yuxi put down the booklet in her hand, went to the window and looked up at the sky and said, "This is the last time." This is the last time Yunqing was allowed to lead troops to war, and he will not be allowed to lead troops to fight in the future. (to be continued)
