Banhua was too fast, and both sides were scolding each other heatedly. She shot the arrow, and although it did not hit the opponent's head, it also injured the opponent's arm. Banhua's movement was like a switch. The archers prepared by Rong Jiajun fired arrows in unison under the cover of the shield holders.
These people all followed Banhua in the attack on Qingsong County, so they cooperated very well. From the beginning to the end, they adhered to the principle of never saying a word if they could take action. Even if they spoke more, it was just to confuse the enemy, which ignited the flames of the war. .
The imperial army did not expect that the Rong family army was so insidious. They were clearly scolding the formation and taking action whenever they disagreed. This seemed a little different from the previous routine?
"What a despicable villain," the soldier who was hit by the arrow clutched his wound and gasped, "I am here today, and I will never let them enter the city!"
War will always bleed. There are sounds of fighting and cries of pain. Some people are so angry that they are not tired of the pain.
"Killing five enemies will reward you with five taels of silver, and killing ten enemies will reward you with fifteen taels of silver. If you kill the enemy general, you will be awarded an official title. Brothers, rush forward!" Du Jiu carried the A **** sword rushed to the city gate on horseback. The door-ramming car hit the city gate again and again. The old city gate, which had been in disrepair for a long time, finally lost its ability to resist under the continuous impact and fell down.
The imperial troops hiding behind the city gate came out in full force. People and horses on both sides fought together. The entire land outside the city gate was stained red with blood.
Banhua also wanted to rush in, but was held back by Rong Xia.
"As a general, you must not be impulsive," Rong Xia rode on horseback, looking at the royal flag on the city wall expressionlessly, "This war is not at the point where you have to end up."
Banhua pulled out the sword and held it tightly, "I understand."
"Marshal, the gate is broken!" A soldier stopped the hurried King Changqing, "You should leave quickly, the city gate cannot be guarded for long."
They did not expect that Yongzhou’s city gate would be in such a state of disrepair. What on earth were the local officials doing? The mansions are magnificently built, but there is no money to repair the city gates?
The dissatisfaction of the imperial army is now useless. The only thing they can do is to protect the marshal from retreating and prevent the rebels from catching him.
General Shi has been captured. If the marshal is captured again, then the imperial army will really be wiped out.
The shouts of killing were loud outside the city. King Changqing heard the shouts of killing getting closer and closer. He gritted his teeth and said to the people around him: "Get out!"
Yongzhou City cannot be saved.
He never thought that Rong Xia would have so many means, and the rebels' armors and weapons must have been prepared a long time ago, otherwise how could they be better than the imperial army?
Rong Xia is so courageous to have ambitions so early.
Although King Changqing was filled with hatred, he also knew that now was not the time to show off. He asked his men to simply pack up some things, mount their horses and flee. Because they were worried that they would be overtaken by the rebels if they ran too slowly along the way, they threw away any items that were a little heavier and inconvenient to carry.
They used practical actions to explain what it means to abandon one's armor.
Rong Xia stepped into the gate of Yongzhou City stepping on a sea of blood. The smell of blood and the faint sound of wailing all over the city made the place look like a **** on earth.
Ban Hua stood beside him, looking away from the blood on the ground, and turned to Du Jiu: "Take people to deal with the wounded soldiers, and pay attention to the imperial troops lying on the ground, so that they don't get plotted."
"Yes." Du Jiu accepted the order and stepped back.
"Huahua," Rong Xia looked back at Banhua and held her hand, "Just stay with me like this, okay?"
"Your heart remains unchanged, and I will live up to it," Ban Hua neatly adjusted his clothes, "Don't think too much, as long as you don't let me down, I will always be with you."
"Lord, general," Zhao Zhong came over on a fast horse, "King Changqing has escaped."
"Escaped?" Banhua sneered, "In just a few hours, he left the soldiers alone and ran away. He is really a kind and righteous prince."
Zhao Zhong saw the two people clasping hands and laughed dryly: "Are we going to chase him?"
"No need," Rong Xia said, "I will repair in Yongzhou for the time being. In half a month, I will go straight to the imperial city to kill the traitor and go to court!"
"Yes!" Zhao Zhong felt hot and his eyes lit up.
King Changqing fled all the way and hid in Mingyu Prefecture, which was very close to the capital, before he felt at ease. But now that he was defeated and fled, he had to give an explanation to the court. He thought for a long time and asked his men to send gold, silver and jewelry to several ministers trusted by Emperor Fengning. He also wrote an apology memorial to Emperor Fengning. The memorial was full of apology, but every sentence also hinted at Fengning. Emperor Ning, it was not his ability to lead troops, but the traitor who appeared in the military camp and leaked the military plan.
Who is this traitor?
Of course it was Shi Jin, the prince's brother-in-law. Anyway, now that Shi Jin was captured, he would be responsible for all the mistakes. King Changqing felt no pressure in his heart.
After Jiang Luo received the memorial from King Changqing, and with the surrounding officials turning a deaf ear, he really put all the blame on Shi Jin. In a rage, he killed everyone in the Shi family and demoted them. , the young people were sent into slavery, and the once prosperous Shi family finally fell into complete decline.
Some people lamented, some sympathized, and even those with normal brains could guess that King Changqing lied, but His Majesty believed it, so what else could they do? In addition, when the Shi family gained power, He Heyang offended many people, and now naturally no one is willing to stand up and speak for them.
When the news reached Yongzhou, Shi Jin was copying scriptures in the house.
"My father... was beheaded?" Shi Jin said hoarsely, sitting on a stool in a daze. The ink dots on the tip of his pen splashed and stained the entire paper. But at this time, who would care about such a piece of paper? Paper?
Seeing him like this, Zhao Zhong actually sympathized: "Please forgive me."
Shi Jin shook his head blankly. He put down his brush and said to Zhao Zhong: "Thank you, Master Zhao. I just want to be quiet for a while."
"Farewell." Zhao Zhong exited the room, shook his head and sighed.
Three days later, Shi Jin put on a clean plain cotton robe and tied his hair with a silver crown. His complexion looked fine, but there were bloodshot eyes that could not be healed. He found Rong Xia and gave him a big gift: "I am Shi Jin, and I am willing to do my best for the Marquis of Cheng'an."
Rong Xia looked at the man standing in the sun and said after a while: "Are you willing?"
"Willingly."
Shi Jin smiled bitterly: "I am alone now and have nothing to worry about. If I follow the Marquis, at least I won't be condemned by my conscience."
"Mr. Shi is very polite," Rong Xia returned Shi Jin's greeting, "I will ask Mr. Shi to take care of me from now on."
"I don't dare," Shi Jin replied with another big gift, "My subordinate Shi Jin has met my lord."
Banhua, wearing a water-colored dress, stood outside the door. Shi Jin's back was turned to her. She couldn't see his expression. Shi Jin also didn't know that the woman he had a crush on was behind him.
Banhua stood there for a while and did not come forward to disturb the two people. She turned around and walked out of the yard bathing in the sunshine.
"General." Mrs. Zhao held the two children. When she saw her, she saluted and then smiled, "The weather is nice today. Why don't you take a walk in the city, Princess?"
Banhua reached out and touched the tops of the two children's heads, and smiled at Mrs. Zhao: "Come on, you two little monkeys must be bored too."
Before, I was worried that there were spies from the imperial army in the city, so the families of the soldiers were not allowed to go out. Now that the city has been inspected over and over again, and some people have even started to set up stalls to live their lives, Banhua can feel relieved that these two children go out. .
"It's a little boring," Zhao Dalang nodded, "but it's still bearable."
"You know how to endure it at such a young age," Banhua ruffled the braid on his head, "This is up to your father."
Zhao Dalang touched his forehead and smiled stupidly. His brother broke free from Mrs. Zhao's hand, eagerly approached Banhua, and took out an ugly candy bar from his arms, "Princess, I left this for you. ”
"Thank you, Erlang," Banhua took the candies and didn't mind whether the things the child took out were clean. She threw them into her mouth and ate them.
Taking the guards with them, the group walked out of the temporary residence. Banhua spent money and bought a lot of gadgets for the two children. Some stall owners didn't dare to accept her money, so she didn't say much, just threw down the money and walked away, like a mobile money bag.
When I walked to the base of a wall, a child less than ten years old was crying loudly. His face was dirty and his clothes were in tatters. Mrs. Zhao couldn't bear it and wanted to help the child, but was stopped by Banhua.
"Mrs. Zhao," Banhua looked at the child who was getting more and more sad as he cried, with a cold expression on his face, "In troubled times, children are sometimes not necessarily children. You'd better be careful."
Mrs. Zhao Wenyan's heart trembled. She looked at the poor child carefully and couldn't see anything wrong with him.
“Didn’t you notice that those children who were playing around just now would lower their voices unconsciously when they saw us?” Banhua raised his chin, “Children like this without the protection of their parents should have Just be careful."
Mrs. Zhao suddenly understood. Thinking about her behavior just now, she took a breath. If there was really something wrong with this child, she...
Ban Hua gave a signal to the bodyguard: "Take this child to the nursery and have someone keep an eye on him, but don't embarrass him."
"Yes."
Mrs. Zhao looked at such a dazzling Princess Fule and was extremely impressed. She was worthy of being admired by all the men in the army. She acted cautiously and well-reasoned, and was more knowledgeable than a housewife like her. too much.
For some reason, Mrs. Zhao actually felt a bit envious in her heart.
It must be very interesting for my daughter’s family to live like this.
The identity of the child sent to the nursery was found out within a few days. He was really a trained little killer. He had not been a member of the organization for long. He was killed during the snowstorm the year before last. The organization likes it. Due to the seriousness of the recent situation, these young killers were also sent out to perform tasks.
This little killer joined the killer organization just to earn a living. This was his first attempt, and he failed.
When he saw that the food in the nursery was no worse than that of the killer organization, and he was caught again, he simply told everything he knew. He has not yet been brainwashed by the killer organization, and his pragmatic personality has prevailed. When selling the organization, he sells without any pressure.
Only then did Ban Hua know that this killer organization was the one who assassinated Rong Xia in the first place. It was precisely because of the serious loss that they sent out all the children.
After asking about their lair, Banhua decided that after returning to the capital, he would dismantle this killer organization.
Three days later, the army set off. The Rong family army fought through all obstacles and was invincible. No one could resist. In less than three months, they reached Yujing Prefecture, the state closest to the capital.
Jade Jingzhou is a prosperous place. An expert once said bluntly that with Jade Jingzhou in the capital, the dragon spirit will be more vigorous. For the imperial court, Yujing Prefecture was their last remaining line of defense.
Hearing that Rong Xia had attacked Yujing Prefecture, Jiang Luo couldn't eat or sleep well. He once interrupted his escape from the capital, but he gave up his thoughts after learning that his retreat was also outflanked by Rong Xia's men.
Nowadays, Jade Jingzhou and the capital are like fat meat trapped in a circle. They cannot escape and can only wait for the day when they are eaten by others. Unless this piece of fat turns into a hungry wolf and rises up to resist.
Compared with the panicked nobles and royal family, the people in the capital seemed much calmer. They had long heard that Marquis Cheng'an was like a divine help along the way. In just one year, he occupied most of Daye's territory. Some states and counties were even enthusiastic Welcome him. After Cheng'an Hou's army entered the city, they neither disturbed the people nor stole or looted. They were much more kind than the imperial army.
No wonder God has to send down miracles to remind the people that there will be a bright master to replace Hun Jun. The Ming Lord is the Marquis of Cheng'an, and Hun Jun is the one sitting on the dragon throne now.
After the family closed the door, they couldn't help but secretly ask each other: "Did Marquis Cheng'an call in today?"
"Not yet."
"It's been several days. Has Marquis Cheng'an called in?"
"Not yet."
When can Marquis Cheng'an come in? They, the common people, have to deal with this kind of brain-disabled emperor every day, which is also very tiring.
"I can't walk or fight, what do you think we should do?" Jiang Luo smashed the tea cup in his hand and cursed at the minister standing below, "Is it possible that he really has to give way to me? ?"
"Your Majesty, why don't you send a minister who has friendship with Marquis Cheng'an to recruit him and give him a title of prince or something like that? It would also be considered as giving him a step down," said a minister who was usually quite dignified in front of Jiang Luo. "Our court has shown its sincerity. If Marquis Cheng'an continues to be ignorant, he will have bad intentions."
"You make sense, I'll do as you say, but who should I send?" Jiang Luo didn't know who Rong Xia was friends with at all. In his impression, when his father was in charge of the dynasty, Rong Xia Xia seems to have a good relationship with every courtier.
"How about..." the minister rolled his eyes, "Let Yao Peiji go?"
"Okay, just send him."
After receiving the imperial edict, Yao Peiji was teasing his grandson at home. The **** who announced the edict was arrogant. He took the purse sent by Yao Peiji and turned around and left without giving him any dignity.
"What's there to be proud of? His master is about to become the king of subjugation," Yao Ling scolded, "A nest of snakes and rats are not good things."
Yao Peiji threw the imperial edict aside, stroked his beard and said: "The court is too naive."
Now that Rong Xia is in sight of victory, why would she care about the position of prince. As for the so-called fear of people's words, it is even more ridiculous. Only losers in this world care about the fear of people's words. The real history is written by the winners.
"Father, what should we do now?" Yao Ling held her face in her hands, looking lonely, "I don't know what happened to Princess Fule. She followed Cheng'an Marquis to eat in the wind and rain, and also came into contact with **** things on the battlefield. , it’s really worrying.”
Yao Peiji looked at his youngest daughter in confusion: "When did you become so close to Princess Fule?"
In the past six months, his daughter has asked him about Princess Fule from time to time. He didn't think there was anything wrong before, but now there is something vaguely wrong. There seems to be something wrong with his daughter's appearance?
"Father, you don't understand, beauty is a treasure given to us by God," Yao Ling shook his head, "Beauty is easy to come by, but true beauty is hard to find."
"That's nonsense," Yao Peiji said, "I think you're not young anymore. I'll get you married when the capital settles down."
"I think Princess Fule's younger brother is pretty good," Yao Ling held her face in her arms, "He looks quite cute when he smiles."
"Ban Heng?" Yao Peiji's eyes widened, "That dude from the Ban family?"
"He is not an ordinary dude, he is a unique dude," Yao Ling said seriously, "It is good to marry him."
Yao Peiji held it in for a long time before saying: "If you want to marry someone, you must be willing to marry you."
Yao Peiji, who choked his daughter to the point of being speechless, took several of his retainers with him early the next morning and left the capital for Yujing Prefecture.
Jade Jingzhou.
Ban Hua was teaching the soldiers marksmanship. When he heard that an envoy was coming to the capital, he threw the silver spear in his hand to one of the soldiers, wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Who is coming?"
"Yao Peiji." Du Jiu replied.
"Him?" Banhua raised his eyebrows and walked quickly to the main tent. He happened to see boxes after boxes of gold and silver jewelry being carried into the main tent. Several eunuchs guarding outside saw her and even turned their heads. Don't dare to lift it.
These are eunuchs sent from the palace to monitor Yao Peiji.
Lifting the tent and going in, one heard a eunuch's sharp roar.
"Marquis Cheng'an, do you want to commit treason?"
She stepped forward and kicked the screaming **** to the ground. After staying in the military camp for a while, her behavior became less and less tactful.
The envoy was lying on the ground, still a little unresponsive. After a while, he cursed: "Who, who dares to kick the Zajia family?"
Ban Hua stepped on the eunuch's back and sneered: "It's just a dog next to Jiang Luo, but he dares to roar here. This is the main tent of the Rong family army, not Jiang Luo's Palace, you'd better shut your mouth, or I'll have you dragged out and have your tongue cut out."
"Princess Fule, you, you dare!" All the eunuchs in the palace who have some respect don't know Banhua. Although he is lying on the ground and can't see Banhua's face, he can tell by listening to the voice. Who is the one who kicked me?
"You can give it a try," Banhua sneered, letting go of the eunuch's foot, "Come on, scream for me."
The eunuch's face turned red and white, then turned blue and white, but he really didn't dare to yell anymore.
"Wouldn't it be better if you just shut up?" Banhua walked over to Rong Xia and sat down. The two of them sat together on a long and wide chair, and there was no difference between them.
Seeing that there was still sweat on her forehead and the tip of her nose, Rong Xia wiped her with a handkerchief: "Why bother with this kind of thing? Be careful not to dirty your feet."
"How can I tolerate this ignorant bitch?" Banhua drank half a cup of tea, "You guys can talk, I'll just sit here and won't disturb you."
After Banhua started kicking the eunuch, Yao Peiji, who was sitting aside, looked like an old **** who didn't see anything. After hearing what Banhua said, he stood up and raised his hands to Rong Xia and said, "Cheng'an Hou, this old man is so polite."
"You don't have to be polite, Mr. Yao, please take a seat." Rong Xia never asked Yao Peiji about his purpose of coming. After the two of them bickered for a long time, Yao Peiji couldn't hold it in anymore and explained his purpose.
"Prince's title?" Rong Xia raised his eyebrows, with an expression on his face that seemed to be a smile, "I wonder what title it is?"
"Zhongming."
"Loyalty can be learned from the sun and the moon?" Rong Xia took a sip of the half-cup of tea that Banhua had just finished drinking, and slowly shook his head, "This title is not good."
"Whatever title the Marquis likes, the court will definitely satisfy you."
"The title is not important, I just want to see His Majesty and the Crown Prince," Rong Xia put down the tea cup, "I will have trouble sleeping and eating without seeing Your Majesty and the Crown Prince."
Rong Xia said "Your Majesty", and he was definitely not referring to Emperor Fengning, but Emperor Yunqing who had not shown his face for a long time.
Yao Peiji just pretended that he didn't understand and kept drinking tea with his head down.
"Master Marquis, Your Majesty is the heir of the Supreme Emperor. What do you mean by this?" The **** who had been quiet for a long time couldn't help but speak again, "Your Majesty is the child of the Supreme Emperor. How could he still..."
"Bang!" A tea cup exploded at his feet.
Rong Xia said with a cold face: "I am talking to Mr. Yao, how can you, a lowly person, interrupt me?"
"Here comes someone!"
A few soldiers wearing iron armor walked in with evil faces on their faces.
"Drag this **** down and cut out his tongue," Rong Xia said expressionlessly, "It sounds disturbing."
The soldier ignored the eunuch's struggle, covered his mouth and dragged him down. None of the other eunuchs who came with them dared to speak. Only now did they fully wake up. This is not the Daye Palace, and they are not imperial celebrities who even court officials want to please. No one will give them face.
How could they dare to offend Cheng'anhou without any warning?
Seeing the talkative **** being dragged out, Yao Peiji did not feel offended, but stood up and apologized to Rong Xia.
"Master Yao, don't take it to heart. What do other people's faults have to do with you," Rong Xia said, "Master Yao, please go back and tell Prince Ning that Rong doesn't care about the title. He just wants Prince Ning to take His Majesty with him." The prince came out to prove the safety of the two of them."
Yao Peiji did not insist and immediately agreed: "The official will definitely convey the wishes of the Marquis."
Yao Peiji has not yet returned to the capital. The news that Rong Xia would rather not give up the title of prince but ensure the safety of his majesty and the prince has spread throughout several states and counties, and even people in the capital know about it.
Some people praised Rong Xia for not bending for power, while others praised Rong Xia for his loyalty, which further confirmed that Jiang Luo had an erroneous origin for the throne.
"He rebelled and gained a good reputation?" Jiang Luo almost burst out of anger when he heard these rumors, "Go tell Jing Zhaoyi that if anyone in the capital talks nonsense, he will be thrown into jail directly. ”
"Your Majesty, this is not allowed," said a treacherous sycophant who still has some brains. "If we really do this, in the eyes of the people, we will only become guilty."
Jiang Luo suddenly darkened his face, "If the Supreme Emperor dies of illness, naturally no one will clamor to see him."
The others frowned. Now that His Majesty has obtained the throne, the Supreme Emperor has also been placed under house arrest. Patricide is not a good reputation. This thing... I'm afraid it cannot be done.
They did not dare to speak directly, so they had to express their attitude through silence.
Jiang Luo was most annoyed by their silent and cowardly appearance, so he asked them to leave after a few curses.
He thought for a long time in the palace, recalling Emperor Yunqing's behavior of favoring the prince, and finally made up his mind. He summoned Wang De, the **** beside Emperor Yunqing, and handed a packet of medicine into Wang De's hand.
"Father, I haven't been sleeping well recently, and I have frequent heart palpitations, right?" Jiang Luo looked at Wang De with a gloomy expression.
Wang De knelt on the ground and said nothing.
Jiang Luo suddenly became angry and stood up as if he kicked him. At this time, a **** crawled in and ran in.
"Your Majesty, this is bad!"
"Rong Xia is coming to the capital!"
