After the Disabled God of War Became My Concubine - Chapter 88
[Chapter 88]
The next moment, Huo Wu Jiu put away his bow, pulled out the whip on his waist and swiped it in the air.
With a crisp whip, the sound of horses’ hooves was suddenly remembered in the darkness.
The sound of horses’ hooves came from far to near, and the soldiers who rode their horses from the darkness surrounded the hundreds of elites who had been scattered in a hurry. Anyone who dared to use a weapon to resist was immediately cut off from their horses, and after a rush of sword fighting sounds, those people were captured by the soldiers who came from the dark.
Huo Wu Jiu rode his horse and walked towards the direction of the river.
The night was hazy, and without the moon, it seemed a little darker.
A few months ago, he was also leading the army across the river in such a dark night, but the hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses who were supposed to cross the river with him did not move at all, leaving only a handful of soldiers under his leadership. Nanjing’s defenders were besieged.
It was the first defeat in his life.
He suspected that his strategy was too aggressive, or that his deployment was flawed. He always believed himself a little conceited, and at this time, he also tried every means to take these mistakes on himself, instead of thinking…
It was him, Huo Jiajun, who stabbed him in the back.
He stepped forward, stopped in front of Li Sheng’s body, lowered his head, and looked at him in the dark night.
He died extremely ugly, Yuan stared at him, and the blood had already dyed the surrounding area several feet square red.
Huo Wu Jiu looked like he was looking at an animal that was only shot to death, his eyes remained calm.
“General…” Wei Kai said worriedly behind him.
But seeing Huo Wu Jiu withdraw his gaze, there is still no expression on his face.
“Go get some soldiers,” he said. “Look at how many people Li Sheng brought as bait.”
Wei Kai knew that he was uncomfortable, and he felt a little more distressed when he saw his casual appearance.
He pursed his lips and whispered, “Yes.”
He turned his horse’s head and just took two steps when he heard Huo Wu Jiu say: “Whoever dares to resist, kill.”
Wei Kai sniffed and replied in a low voice, “Yes.”
He just walked away, Ji Hongcheng’s soldiers and horses had already escorted him up. The dead are many, and only a few are left alive at this time.
Huo Wu Jiu sat on the horse, lowered his eyes, looked at the few people who were kneeling on the ground, and asked in a calm voice, “Who ordered Li Sheng?”
One of them raised his head with difficulty.
On the tall horse sat a tall man, straddling an arrow, carrying a bow, and holding a whip in his hand, which he threw in his hand leisurely, with a slight wind sound.
The whip clearly did not land on him, but it made him horrified.
This is the first time this person has seen Huo Wu Jiu head-on.
Since he joined the army, he has been under the command of General Huo Yuyan, that is, His Royal Highness. Compared to Huo Wu Jiu’s lineage, who was invincible and invincible, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was gentle and cautious, and he always thought twice about using his troops, taking every step of the way.
Since the day Huo Wu Jiu took over all the troops under his father’s command, they have lived in the shadow of Huo Wu Jiu.
Everyone in the world knows that Huo Wu Jiu is a god of war who is invincible in a hundred battles. Who can see that His Royal Highness is thinking about them every day and working hard all night?
However, at that time, it was enough. When marching and fighting, what mattered was life and victory, not these. But now, Daliang has established a country, and the one who ascended the throne is also the current His Majesty. If His Highness the Prince lives in the shadow of a military general, then there will be endless troubles.
Tonight, the people they know the truth are the people that His Royal Highness relies on and trusts the most.
They must not do anything betrayal.
The man looked at Huo Wu Jiu, gritted his teeth and said nothing.
However, Huo Wu Jiu slowly continued to say, “What did Huo Yuyan ask him to do?”
On the side, a soldier immediately said loudly, “No! His Royal Highness doesn’t know anything, it is General Li who has long been jealous of you and wants to get rid of you!”
Huo Wu Jiu sneered.
“Envy me, get rid of me?” He seemed to have heard a joke. “Who is he, and he deserves it?”
As he spoke, he held the reins in one hand, and the horse took two steps forward obediently.
“Without Huo Yuyan’s will, he dared to falsely pass on the imperial edict and lead troops to cross the river to kill me? There is no need for you to play sloppy eyes with me here. I already knew that today, I just want to hear your confession before you die. .” The
horses paced slowly in front of the crowd.
One of them gradually turned his eyes red when he heard his light words.
He couldn’t hold his breath, and said loudly: “General Huo knows, why is he still alive! If you really want to be good for Daliang’s Jiangshan community and really regard His Royal Highness as a brother, you should kill yourself earlier and let him feel at ease. , why let him personally order! You are proud of yourself, do you really think that you can’t do without the beam! On the contrary, with you, the emperor and the prince will not be able to sleep peacefully!” The
slowly pacing horse stopped.
Huo Wu Jiu lowered his eyes and looked straight at him.
This person probably doesn’t know that Huo Wu Jiu’s words just now were just a trick to deceive them.
…Unexpectedly, not only did he deceive the truth, but he also defrauded this… Huo Wu Jiu’s novel words.
Ji Hongcheng on the side couldn’t listen anymore.
Birds have all their bows and bows, and all military generals have a lot of knowledge in their hearts. But… if there is no Huo Wu blame, who has the ability to label such a prosperous and prosperous Jing Dynasty into the lingering appearance it is today? It should be noted that ten years ago, the Jing Dynasty was just an emperor, but the legacy left by the previous emperor was still too early to be defeated.
However, they were so afraid of Huo Wu Jiu, eager to kill him… That was his biological uncle, the cousin who he could entrust to each other.
“General Huo…” Ji Hongcheng saw that Huo Wu Jiu didn’t speak for a long time, and stepped forward nervously.
But he saw Huo Wu Jiu raised the hand holding the whip and motioned him to shut up.
Ji Hongcheng closed his mouth.
Seeing the darkness of night, Huo Wu Jiu slowly revealed a smile.
Nothing out of the ordinary, but with a bit of indescribable bitterness and irony.
“Well said,” he said.
After he finished speaking, his face turned cold, he pulled the reins with one hand, kicked with one step, and rode his horse away in the direction of the river.
“All captives, kill.” ——This night
,
the river was turbulent.
Huo Wu Jiu counted the 10,000 soldiers and horses on the riverside, and he whipped the whip unscrupulously, letting Wei Kai immediately carry Li Sheng’s head, lead people across the river, and lead him to speak to all the soldiers guarding Jiangbei, Delivered to Jiangnan overnight.
The military ships that came and went did not stop overnight.
On the surface of the river, an inconspicuous gray pigeon flew over the river, and at the fourth watch, it flew to the city of Lin’an.
When the sky turned white, two fast horses pulled an inconspicuous carriage, quickly stepped through the fading night, stepped on the empty, blue-brick street stained with morning dew, stopped outside Tianshu Gate, An urgent letter passed through the locked palace gate.
After a while, Tianshumen opened a corner door, and the people in the carriage got off in a hurry and walked in quickly. With a heavy sound, the corner gate closed, and the entire splendid imperial city became an iron prison that not even a bird could fly into.
Only the carriage was left, parked quietly outside Tianshu Gate.
——The
gate of the palace is locked every day at the hour. If officials wanted to enter the palace at night, they could only have a chance to be holy in the night if they had a 100,000 hurried rush in their hands and handed them in from the Tianshu Gate, which was the closest to the emperor’s residence.
This is the first time I was woken up from the night by the rush play after the post-player ascended the throne. He was put on a robe and invited to the dragon chair, and sat there, still dozing off.
He was a little late last night with the two new concubines who entered the palace, and he just fell asleep now.
After a while, he saw Pang Shao rushing over.
With a thud, he knelt down in front of the self-love dragon chair.
“The minister once concealed a very important matter from the emperor, and now it’s the minister’s fault!” he said.
The Queen’s face was full of confusion, he suppressed the yawn that came to his mouth, and asked, “What’s the matter?”
“Huo Wu Jiu escaped.” Pang Shao said through gritted teeth. “This minister has been in contact with Huo Yuyan, the prince of Northern Liang, and his subordinate sent an urgent letter today, saying that Huo Wu Jiu has led soldiers and horses from Northern Liang to cross the river, which may be as heavy as 100,000.
”
He could understand every word of Pang Shao’s words, but together they made him confused.
What is this all about? How could so many things suddenly happen overnight?
He heard Pang Shao take out several letters that he had prepared in his hand with Huo Yuyan, put them on the Queen’s case, and quickly explained to him.
“Before Huo Wujiu crossed the river, Huo Yuyan found the minister. He wanted Huo Wujiu’s life, but he didn’t dare to do it himself, so he said he wanted to deceive Huo Wujiu and wanted to use the minister’s hand to kill him. He wanted to kill Huo Wu Jiu, but temporarily changed his mind and captured Huo Wu Jiu alive, just to contain Huo Yuyan – after all, the minister could tell Huo Wu Jiu to be sent back in good condition at any time and threaten his crown again. Therefore, Huo Wu Jiu is in my grand scene, and Huo Yuyan does not dare to act rashly.” Seeing that the queen was
still not awake, he asked again, “This is what you told me, keeping Huo Wu Jiu’s life is useful. ?”
Pang Shao looked at his sluggish and useless appearance, only to feel annoyed.
If it wasn’t for an emergency, and he needed to use his imperial edict to move troops and horses from the surrounding counties, he wouldn’t come here to report this to this bastard. The words in his mouth are also six points true and four points false, he will never tell the Empress, that he has relied on Huo Wu Jiu to deceive Huo Yuyan of tens of thousands of taels of silver in the past few months. Pang Shao gritted
his teeth: “Yes. But now that Huo Wujiu has escaped, he will endanger Lin’an from time to time. I have requested the emperor’s imperial decree to immediately send people to the surrounding counties to transfer troops and horses to protect the emperor’s safety.”
half.
“Go, then go,” he said. “But, how did Huo Wu Jiu run?”
Pang Shao gritted his teeth.
“Prince Jing let him go,” he said. “From Lin’an to the riverside, no matter how fast you travel, it will take three to five days. After all these days, Prince Jing’s mansion is calm, so he must be covering Huo Wu Jiu.”
Speaking of which, Pang Shao folded his fists and knelt down. Tun said: “Your Majesty, you must capture and guard King Jing. Since he can cover for Huo Wu Jiu, he must have a lot of news about Huo Wu Jiu in his hands, maybe even arrest him, and possibly contain Huo Wu Jiu. .” But the
Lord did not care about this.
“This sick seedling is very courageous and dares to cooperate with the enemy!” He gritted his teeth. “It really is a wicked son of a cheap life, and he is bad in his bones!”
He raised his hand and said, “Someone! Quickly go to Prince Jing’s mansion and catch that bitch for me!”
But Pang Shao stopped him and said, “Your Majesty , no!” The empress
frowned: “What?”
Pang Shao said, “King Jing is unfathomable, and this move may shock the snake. The minister has a plan, please listen to the emperor.” The empress hurriedly
said: “Speak quickly.”
Shao said: “Today there is a big court meeting, the emperor might as well wait for him to enter the palace, and then leave him behind. At that time, when others are in the palace, wouldn’t they be catching turtles in the urn?” When the
queen heard this, she felt justified.
He breathed a sigh of relief and said, “Just do as you said.”
Pang Shao agreed and wanted to retreat.
The late master’s drowsiness was also frightened away. He watched Pang Shao saluting and retreating. Outside the window, the faint morning light was faintly leaking out, blending with the light of the candles in the hall.
The master suddenly spoke up.
“Uncle,” he called.
Pang Shao stopped.
Hearing the master ask, “No matter what, my uncle will stay in the capital to protect me, right?” I
saw Pang Shao bowing his head and salute, and he couldn’t see his expression clearly under his broad sleeves and tall crown.
“The minister will do this, and he will never abandon the emperor.”
The author has something to say: Huo Wu Jiu: Wuwu, wife, my brother wants to kill me
Jiang Suizhou: Coincidentally, my brother also wants to kill me ;D
