(Chapter two in one, click to order both)
The cold wind was biting, and the world was filled with chills. The icy cold current, coupled with the curfew introduced by Meng Ji, made the night of Chaoge particularly silent.
There was a creaking sound of armor rubbing against each other in the deep darkness, and uniform footsteps broke the silence of the night.
A group of blue and black heavy armored infantry dressed completely different from Chaoge's regular regiment slowly cut through the darkness, with long swords unsheathed and round shields placed on their chests. The leader was the former mighty general who had turned their feud into friendship with Meng Chang. , now broke into the general Chao Lei.
And this mighty and majestic army, which is obviously more elite than other legions, is the first and currently the only war legion in the entire land of China to bid farewell to agricultural production and completely quit production.
When this army, which was proposed by Meng Chang but lost its leader after it was formed, appeared on the streets of Chaoge, all the people closed their doors and windows for fear of getting into trouble for no reason.
You Hun was riding on a tall horse on the street, smelling of alcohol. His whole body was swaying on the horse, as if he would fall off the horse and fall to the ground at any time.
Chao Lei rode up to the horse, looking at You Hun with a hint of ridicule in his eyes. He had often heard that this low-ranking official had a reputation of being henpecked. He was cowardly and flattering. He was not a gentleman. Although he looked similar to the good brother Meng whom he admired. They may be 45% similar, but their personalities are completely different.
Chao Lei didn't think highly of such a person. The only thing worthy of praise was that this time, the doctor dared to directly report and expose his grandfather, You Cang.
In fact, the development of the whole thing was very strange. If the king had not personally ordered him to lead the army into the city and be responsible for capturing You Cang, he would not have been willing to set foot in Chaoge City, where chaos was frequent.
According to your Majesty's various verifications, Meng An, the young master of Meng Ji, is indeed a premature infant. He was born weak, light in weight, with a small frame and shallow breathing. All aspects indicate that he will die prematurely.
But everyone knows it well. No one dares to talk about this matter openly in front of the king like the little chamberlain Qin Yi. This is an act that even a simple evil person would not dare to do. Chamberlain Sir, how dare you be so arrogant?
Don’t you see, in order for Meng An to be safe and sound, the merchants in Northern Xinjiang went crazy, searching for folk remedies for health and body protection. Even the king was so worried that he didn’t have sex for three days, and his daily food supply was halved. He deliberately took out precious human sacrifices and went to the Wahuang Temple outside the city to pray for his son as a king.
They even forced all the doctors in the royal court who were good at prenatal care and health care to be sent to Meng Ji. They went to see Meng An and nurse him back to health, so that he could grow up healthily.
How could someone fail to see such a clear signal?
Meng Changgui is the Northern Xinjiang Bohou, and his favor has gradually begun to surpass the weak Dong Bohou Jiang Huanchu, and he is about to become the new right-hand man supported by Dashang. As long as Meng Chang and Di Xin are around, this child can survive strong. His future will be extremely glorious, and he will be a man of the future who will be loved by thousands of people when he grows up.
Qin Yi's behavior became a little thought-provoking in terms of something that could be seen by all the pawns and traders in the restaurant.
Anyway, in Chao Lei's eyes, Qin Yi is no different from a dead soldier.
The question is, what role does You Hun, the You family's husband, who seems to be drinking to drown his sorrows, play in this turmoil?
The crimes he reported against You Cang were too numerous to list.
He secretly wrote letters to the four princes to form an alliance. As an important minister in the internal service, he used his authority to cover up with the princes in the external service. He used his authority to give the princes the green light to smuggle grain and grass and sell military supplies. These were relatively small things. Not many ministers in the country dare to say that they are definitely clean. More or less, they all earn some extra money in their spare time and open a back door.
However, the human sacrifices used for sacrifices were reported as damaged in batches and "depreciated" to the princes to calculate the number of human sacrifices. This matter was quite explosive.
This is not just a political issue, it directly explodes the royal family, as well as the uncontested Great Witch Festival. Several forces are quarreling in the royal court, and they are bound to severely punish those who blaspheme the heaven and ancestors.
Very good, a generation of powerful ministers and powerful ministers really have no way to struggle now.
If others are fine, for Chao Lei, who is proficient in deception, splashing dirty water, making things out of nothing, and taking advantage of others, the same kind of atmosphere is too strong. The more seamless and flawless it is, the stronger the sense of planning will be. This is not an accident, it is definitely Man-made.
He had no evidence, but the similar aura told him that things were by no means as simple as imagined.
"Haha, Doctor Youhun is in such a good mood. He can even drink to cheer him up at this moment. But are you celebrating?"
You Hun's sad expression froze for a moment, he glanced at Chao Lei meaningfully, and then returned to his drunken and sad state.
"What is there to celebrate? Hun is just sad. My father treats me like his own son, but the king is also very kind to me. You Hun feels so guilty that it is unspeakable. Let me ask the people of the world: Who said that a minister should be loyal and filial, how can we have both loyalty and filial piety?"
The love was so deep that even the people with their doors and windows closed could clearly hear You Hun's crying.
I used to think that he was a flattering villain, but I never thought that he could also do the feat of killing relatives for justice. In the past, I had looked down on him and despised him for many years.
Chao Lei was speechless for a while. It seemed that he was not as thick-skinned as You after all. If he had Doctor You's skill, he would dare to challenge Huang Feihu for the position of general in the future.
I saw Chao Lei dismounting, dragging You Hun to the side, turning his head and looking around, asking the soldiers to observe the rules, and spoke to You Hun in a soft voice.
"Doctor Youhun, please tell me, one of my own, how did you pull your grandfather down?"
You Hun glared angrily, pointed at Chao Lei and yelled: "Shuzi, You Hun is the king's minister. You and I are colleagues, so don't form cliques with me."
"It's probably because of the future of the entire Dashang that you do this righteous act of exterminating relatives. How dare Zhu Zian insult me?"
Seeing the man in front of him getting angry, Chao Lei couldn't help but curled his lips and muttered: "If you don't say it, don't say it. Why are you angry? Hey, Doctor You, let me tell you, in fact, I am also a member of Meng Bohou. You There is no need to be so hostile to me.”
Are you also from Mengchang? You Hun was a little confused. In the past few years, it was you, a little black guy, who spread rumors in the market every day, and even went so far as to personally slander Meng Chang, why Meng Chang surrendered to Yuan Futong in the north. At that time, he was so angry that he couldn't sleep for three days.
Seeing You Hun's ignored appearance, Chao Lei was a little anxious, pointed at the Zhe Chongfu soldiers behind him and said immediately: "Believe me, I am really one of my own, otherwise why could Meng Bohou hand over the soldiers to the army?" I bring?"
"To be honest, General Chao Lei, You Hun has not been an official for a long time, but this is the first time I have seen such a weirdo like you. Do you really want to die that much?"
"But before you die, can you let your soldiers follow me to get things done first?"
The drunken confusion dissipated, and in an instant, Chao Lei saw a pair of extremely indifferent pupils, looking at him as if he were looking at a dead person.
He shouldn't be too familiar with this kind of look. In the military formation, many times when the two armies faced each other and got into hard battles, this was the look he saw the most.
If a soldier had such a look in his eyes, he wouldn't think twice about it, but who is this person? You Hun, who in Chaoge City doesn't know that this is a coward to the extreme?
Chao Lei also lost interest in continuing to communicate. With a wave of his hand, the government troops continued to move forward and surrounded You Mansion, which was closed.
Looking at You Hun who came up to call the door alone, Chao Lei said to the 'private soldier' behind him: "Brother, you shouldn't let me ask this. The whole world knows that Meng Bohou and I had conflicts before. You let me I'm going to tell you a story, and only if people can believe it can there be ghosts."
"Haha, the more impossible it is, the more likely it is. Ji Dan has already run away. No matter who in Chaoge City tries to borrow Bei Bohou's power, the result will be the same."
"This is what happened. Find an excuse. Say the same thing to Huang Feihu and listen to his reaction."
The soldier looked up and found that he was actually Chao Tian, who also held the post of General Zhe Chong. The two brothers had always been inseparable from each other, and Meng was inseparable from each other. Unexpectedly, after going to different military camps respectively, they could still work together together.
"Brother, you said that the king obviously trusts Meng Bohou so much, why does he still..."
Chao Tian stared at his brother with a fierce look: "What else do you want? What nonsense do you want to talk about?"
The fierce eyes made Chao Lei's heart tremble. He hurriedly shut up and turned his head to concentrate on commanding the soldiers to break through the door.
"How did Qin Yi die? Trouble comes from the mouth! In the future, you must remember what you should say and what you should not say. Otherwise, your death is a small matter. Don't involve me and be killed by your whole family."
Chao Lei nodded in agreement, but still muttered in a low voice: "I'm just saying that because we are brothers, and there are no outsiders here."
The two brothers looked at each other in silence for a moment, and the atmosphere was a bit awkward.
"Grandpa, there is nothing wrong that can be improved. Open the door now. Follow me to see the king. You can still be useful. Hun will intercede for you. The worst is that you will be demoted to a commoner. Hun will also take care of you until you die. Open the door quickly. Ah, grandpa!"
After a period of wailing calls to no avail, You Hun retreated in frustration and walked to Chao Lei.
"General, Hun is useless. I can't let Senior Doctor You Cang open the door and surrender. There are over a hundred slaves and three hundred war servants in You's mansion. Hun is not the only one who can handle it. I also ask General to break down the door and attack, capture Senior Senior Cang alive and offer it to the king."
Chao Lei nodded and immediately ordered a strong attack.
From the beginning, he did not think that You Cang would be captured without hesitation. Judging from the information You Hun revealed about the princes, this veteran of three dynasties had too much black information in his hands. It was impossible to tell what was true and what was false. , which ones are fake.
No one is sure whether he has really established contact with the four princes, but the correspondence and the clues from the past indicate that Caozhou Bo and Lin'an Bo, the two princes in recent times, will definitely be held accountable afterwards. .
"Doctor You Hun, after the door is broken open, there will be others except You Cang. How do you think they will be dealt with?"
"Do you have any instructions, Your Majesty?"
"No, just tell me to bring You Cang back to see him."
You Hun pondered for a moment, and then knelt down directly in front of Chao Lei in front of many soldiers: "Hun please general, please spare the life of my four-year-old daughter. Afterwards, Hun will naturally confess to the king in person to ask for forgiveness. "
Chao Lei was a little panicked and hurriedly helped You Hun up, otherwise outsiders would see him and think he was bullying the "loyal and courageous" Doctor You.
It was only after giving the order that he slowly realized, good guy, this guy is really cruel. Sparing his daughter's life without anyone else saying a word about it didn't mean that he was going to kill them all. Fall?
Chao Lei didn't care. Killing or not didn't mean anything to him. Catching You Cang was his greatest achievement.
The tall mahogany door was destroyed at this moment. Elite soldiers broke in. The slaves at the door were still resisting. There were also many good rangers who performed very well.
But facing this group of soldiers wearing heavy armor, their attacks were directly knocked away by the shields, and then the empty door opened wide, and the long sword splashed bloody ripples in the air.
Countless pairs of confused eyes stared at their uncle. They didn't understand why his uncle had just asked them to set up their defenses in the morning, and why he appeared on the opposite side now.
How could the domestic servants compare with the elite heavy-armored soldiers? After a while, the gate was completely lost.
And in the separation between the front yard and the back yard, Youshi's daughter led the last elite in the mansion to fight to the death.
"You Hun, you shrinking turtle, come out here!"
Seeing Ms. You holding an iron rod in her hand, with one sweeping move, a group of elite soldiers fell to the ground.
"Hiss!" Chao Lei looked at You Hun with some admiration. He is really capable of bending and stretching. With his evil-like appearance and fighting power that is even more elite than the elite, it's no wonder that Doctor You is henpecked.
I saw You Hun shouting at the top of his lungs: "Chan'er, don't resist, just surrender without mercy. My husband will definitely intercede for you. I beg the king to show mercy and put down your weapons quickly!"
Youshi's daughter seemed to have gone crazy, turning a blind eye to the attacks of others around her. Even if she was attacked by various weapons, she still only had the thin man in her eyes and heart who had been with him day and night, and had been rubbing elbows with him for five years.
There is no affection, only strong killing intent.
"Youhun, why are you doing this?"
You Hun did not reply, but looked at the woman with a gloomy but calm look. He was like a heroic general who had passed five levels and killed six generals. After breaking through the blockade of the soldiers, he strode all the way to kill the generals. It seemed that he was about to stage a battle of thousands of armies. In the film, the formation kills the heartless man and the white-eyed wolf.
"The iron rod weighs forty-seven kilograms and is one and a half meters long. It is used to sweep, poke, and smash hard. After running, it is customary to turn around and circle once, and then use the poke to hit the chest."
Looking at the Youshi girl running all the way, You Hun didn't panic at all, and finally quickly spoke out some of the battle techniques that Youshi girl used, and the latter seemed to act according to Youhun's instructions, and every move was in harmony with her. The moves are exactly the same.
After a flashy turn and stab, You Hun suddenly unsheathed her sheath like a poisonous snake waiting for an opportunity, and ran towards You's daughter. After getting close to her strong body, she pulled out the short blade with her right hand, moving as fast as the wind. Same, stabbing her seven times.
After hitting the target, You Hun did not hesitate to fight. After ducking down to avoid Youshi's daughter's grasp, he rolled like an ugly donkey, widening the distance between Youshi's daughter.
In pain, You Shi's daughter made another powerful and heavy sweep, but You Hun easily dodged it, and then repeated the same trick. The short blade of her right hand was like a chef undressing an ox, touching her joints and tendons. parts.
The seemingly intractable and difficult-to-take-down Youshi girl was covered in wounds within a short while, as if she had been fished out of a blood vat, her limbs hanging limply.
"You...you know martial arts?"
"Madam, I don't know how. I just got beaten too many times, so I remembered your moves. Every time, every move, your habits are always engraved in my mind. I am waiting all the time. Today's scene, every action is the result of three years of non-stop review in my mind."
As if she knew that she was bound to die, Youshi's daughter calmed down for the first time and asked in a relaxed tone: "Since you hate us so much, why don't you leave?"
"Have you ever had that feeling? You have already bet ten knives, but if you want to earn back your principal with interest, you must bet another ten knives. In order not to let the principal bet before be damaged. No matter how much suffering or grievance there is, I will still endure the loss."
"But your father is insatiable. He takes advantage of himself and makes my youth and future bleak. How can he touch my second brother? What qualifications does he have to touch my second brother? Ichijou only knows how to chase after others. An old dog of profit, a cystic worm that has no value or contribution to the country, the people, or the times, lies on everyone to suck blood, and shows a stinking face of being aloof and controlling other people's lives and deaths. Who does he think he is?"
Youshi's daughter grinned: "Well said, if you could have scolded him in front of me earlier, instead of flattering me, flattering me, and showing such masculinity, how could I insult you? Hahaha, it's really ridiculous, Meng Hun, I have seen through your true nature a long time ago. You will definitely become the second You Cang in the future. All the heroic words you said before are false, and you will definitely become what you hate..."
"enough!!"
You Hun stabbed the sharp blade into You's daughter's throat, and his chest began to rise and fall violently as he watched the evil woman who had been with him for five years finally die.
It is difficult to describe this feeling in words. There is a kind of satisfaction of revenge. He wants to cry, but he can't cry, he has to laugh, and laugh heartily.
No, he could neither cry nor laugh. He wanted to be calm and expressionless. There were Chao Lei's soldiers fighting bloody battles around him. He was still the man who wanted to continue to endure.
If, just say if.
If he hadn't been jealous of his younger brother's achievements, hadn't gone to that damn Donglu, and was willing to be a shadow behind the halo, he should be in Meng Ji now, in the position of San Yin. How could he be like now, after so many years of wasted time? , Only then did he get the position of a subordinate doctor.
If at that time, he was young and promising and did not feel inferior, wouldn't he have to leave his hometown and identity, and become a lonely ghost without dignity, love, friendship, and family affection?
A drizzle began to fall in the sky, and in this cold weather, a chill penetrated You Hun's heart.
The surrounding soldiers subconsciously stayed away from this man who was kneeling on the ground without saying a word and expressionless while holding the body of his 'beloved wife'. An invisible and vicious aura seemed to be gradually gathering.
Time passed bit by bit, and the private guards of You Mansion were defeated quickly. Before dawn, the sound of fighting gradually subsided.
Chao Lei fulfilled his promise, and the entire You Mansion was wiped out. Only the sleeping girl in his arms slept sweetly, as if he didn't know anything.
"The child is still young, so it's better not to see such a bloody scene. I'll be very gentle and I'll wake up naturally when it gets dark."
You Hun gently took his daughter, with a touch of tenderness finally appearing on his face. Feeling the warmth in his arms, his cold heart gradually gained some warmth.
"Thank you, General Chao!"
"No need to thank me, but I need your cooperation."
"What?"
In the personal barracks, a burly man slowly walked over. He had been hiding in the darkness. Chao Tian, who was secretly watching his performance, gave up his disguise and walked out slowly.
"Tell me, You Cang, where did you hide me?"
The middle chapter is two-in-one. Pull it up and order both.
