"You?" Shang Chaozong was surprised, "What's going on?"
Lan Ruoting smiled bitterly and said: "The prince is in jail. I found that something is wrong. People keep adding insult to injury. They clearly want to kill the prince. [oM] The person in the palace was not only afraid of the military power in the hands of the late king, but also worried that he would not be able to intimidate him. I knew what the person in the palace was worried about about the consequences of the war, so I spread the word that the late king secretly selected a hundred thousand loyal souls who died in battle to secretly refine a batch of 'crow generals'."
Shang Chaozong suddenly realized and understood, and sneered, "The one in the palace who took care of family ties and didn't kill me turned out to be wanting to get the one hundred thousand 'crow generals'. So, if I can get out of prison alive this time, I'm afraid It has something to do with those 100,000 crow generals, right? What is the situation in Dayan now?"
Lan Ruoting nodded: "Your Majesty is wise, and you got to the point! As soon as the late king left, your majesty purged the former king's old troops in recent years, which made the morale of the army unstable. Shao Dengyun, the northern guard, was even forced to turn the city on and off in anger. , leading the South Korean army to invade our northern border, which was overwhelming. The imperial court spent a huge price to contain the offensive of the South Korean army. Not only did a large area of land fall into the hands of the old enemy, it also attracted the attention of surrounding countries. The situation was precarious. Your Majesty had to send out several consecutive A princess got married and wooed some countries to check and balance the situation. However, under the civil strife, some generals gradually developed ambitions. Some people began to take the opportunity to support their own troops and refused to listen. Due to internal and external troubles, the country of Yan was already in turmoil. Among them!"
Boom! Shang Chaozong punched the couch with his fist, with a ferocious look on his face: "Sending the princess to get married is a shame and a shame! Shao Dengyun dares to betray the enemy, damn him!"
Lan Ruoting remained silent, what should I say? If they don't get married, they will risk destroying the country. What can the person in the palace do? Shao Dengyun will only die if he doesn't betray the enemy. What should Shao Dengyun do
After Shang Chaozong calmed down, he sighed: "I understand. I can be released from prison at this time precisely because of the internal and external troubles in Dayan. The person in the palace is eager to get the one hundred thousand crow generals to stabilize the situation and release me from prison." I want to fish out those hundred thousand crow generals! If I can’t get it, I’m afraid he still won’t let me go!”
Lan Ruoting: "Now is not the time to consider this. As long as the prince can get out of trouble and leave the capital, there will be a chance. If he cannot leave the capital, there will never be a chance..."
At sunrise, another noisy day began in the capital. Shops were opening their doors one after another, and street vendors were passing by. It was unknown who was sitting in the seemingly ordinary carriage.
As soon as the carriage arrived at the East City Gate, it received special attention. A group of people and horses dispersed the passers-by, blocked people from entering and exiting, and surrounded the carriage.
A guard general knocked the carriage with the back of his knife and shouted: "Get off the carriage! Get checked."
Lan Ruoting got out first and wanted to help Shang Chaozong, who was inconvenient on his feet, but the latter still refused and jumped down by himself.
As soon as the two of them looked at the surrounding situation, they knew that they were coming specifically for them.
"Hey, isn't this the little prince of the Shang Dynasty?" The guard suddenly shouted cheerfully, causing the people around him to look at him in surprise, and then he joked: "Little prince, why are you dressed like this? Looks so shabby?”
Shang Chaozong glanced at the other party coldly. He had inherited the throne. Although he was demoted from prince to county king, he was still a prince after all. The other party's calling him "little prince" was obviously a joke.
Lan Ruoting cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Your Majesty is leaving the city under the order, and I hope the general will show his respect."
The guard sneered, "There is no conflict between leaving the city under orders and undergoing inspection! The young prince is so arrogant about killing good people in broad daylight. Our servants are no better than the young prince. We must act according to the rules." He waved his hand and said, "Self-search! "
A group of soldiers swarmed up and groped and tugged at Shang Chaozong in public. His tattered clothes were even more torn, and his buttocks were almost exposed.
This was clearly a deliberate humiliation. Shang Chaozong tensed his cheeks and remained silent, standing still and letting himself be searched.
Lan Ruoting secretly sighed after seeing this. It seems that the young prince's imprisonment over the past few years has not been in vain. He has been tempered and has become much more mature. If his previous temper had changed, he would have taken action. Otherwise, how could he have been tricked and beaten to death? people? Blessings come from misfortunes, and misfortunes come from blessings. That's probably what happened!
However, the groom was trembling with anger, staring, and had the urge to become furious. Just as he was about to move his feet, Lan Ruoting grabbed his wrist.
Lan Ruoting shook his head at him, signaling not to be impulsive.
When I heard that he was a powerful person, and I also heard that good people were beaten to death in broad daylight, the people around him didn't care whether Shang Chaozong was unjustly accused and humiliated. Most of them were ignorant people with unequal information and no knowledge. Some people even gloated or applauded.
The people on the city tower who secretly instigated this matter looked on with cold eyes. They only thought that a group of ignorant people were stupid and funny, but they did not want to think about why these ignorant people hated the powerful people so much that they wanted to immerse them in pig cages!
There was one person standing in front of each of the two windows, and they were looking down through the gap in the open window. The person was none other than Ting Wei Song Jiu Ming.
As for the other man, he is a lean and thin man with a white face and no beard, frosty white hair on his temples, and a jade hairpin. His whole person is neat and spotless, with a hooked nose, calm expression, cold eyes, and a The black shoulder-wrapped cape has a restrained grace, giving people a sense of distance from strangers.
The person who allowed Song Jiu Ming to accompany him in person was naturally not an easy one. His name was Ga Miaoshui, and his name was a bit strange. He was a eunuch in the palace, someone close to the emperor, and someone who watched the emperor grow up. As you can imagine, his status was so great that he was known as Eunuch Shui.
"Does this make sense?" Song Jiuming turned around and asked.
Ga Miaoshui said calmly: "Humiliate him, make him think about it, and force him to show Shang Jianbo's trump card as soon as possible."
Song Jiu Ming thought thoughtfully and understood.
There was a commotion next, but finally let go. Shang Chaozong, whose clothes were torn and torn, could not cover his body, got into the carriage again, and the groom drove forward again.
However, just as the carriage left the city gate, someone suddenly ran out of the city, pointed at the carriage and shouted: "Master, stop him quickly, carriage, someone has stolen my carriage!"
As if well rehearsed, officers and soldiers outside the city quickly surrounded and stopped the carriage again.
The yelling man rushed to the front of the carriage, grabbed the reins, and cried: "This is my carriage, this is my carriage, the official makes the decision for me!"
The previously difficult city guard general led his people to stride over again, walked to the carriage and shouted: "Get out of the car!"
Shang Chaozong, who was sitting in the car, sneered, "It seems that I am not even qualified to ride in the car. Do you want me to go to the fief? Tao Xin, blow the trumpet!" The so-called Tao Xin is the name of the groom outside.
"Wait a minute!" Lan Ruoting stopped him and said to Shang Chaozong, "My lord, please be patient!"
Shang Chaozong bent out of the carriage and stood on the shaft, blocking Lan Ruoting from coming out from behind. Although he was dressed in tatters and looked miserable, he stood with a straight back.
The guard pointed at Shang Chaozong and shouted: "My young prince, it's better to come down and figure this out!"
Shang Chaozong suddenly shouted in an unquestionable tone: "Blow the trumpet!"
Tao Xin, the driver of the car, took out a dark and shiny horn from nowhere, put it to his mouth, puffed up his cheeks and blew it hard.
"woo woo woo woo… "
The dull sound of the trumpet echoed outside the city gate, making the surrounding soldiers stunned and the guard even more stunned. Bugle!
Immediately afterwards, there was a rumble in the distance, getting closer and closer. Soon, the faces of the soldiers guarding the city changed drastically.
Ga Miao Shui and Song Jiu Ming, who were peeping through the cracks in the windows on the tower, frowned and opened the windows completely. They saw a cavalry troop galloping in front of them, each on the left and right. It looked like there were about two hundred people in each group. Wearing green and earthy gray attire, they came galloping in groups, clapped their horses, although there were not many people, they were full of momentum and marching forward indomitably!
Song Jiuming's pupils suddenly shrank, and he murmured to himself: "Yingyang Wei! Wu Liewei!"
When the late emperor was still alive, he commended King Ning Shang Jianbo for his military exploits and gave him the four-character commendation "Yingyang Wulie". Shang Jianbo separated these four characters and gave names to his left and right guards. This is Yingyang Weihe. The origin of Wu Liewei.
Five thousand Yingyang Guards and five thousand Wu Lie Guards accompanied King Ning Shang Jianbo on the battlefield. They repeatedly performed extraordinary feats and shocked the enemy. The most classic battle is when the Holy Emperor was in danger during his expedition. King Ning, Shang Jianbo, personally led two guards, Ying Yang and Wu Lie, to rush hundreds of miles to rescue him. He attacked the 100,000-strong Korean army with only ten thousand people, and forcefully entered the siege and surrounded the Holy Emperor. Got rescued. That battle made Ying Yang and Wu Lie famous all over the world, but they failed to gain the gratitude they have today, and instead gained fear.
Now that the two guards have become a thing of the past, they have been almost completely wiped out by the present. The hundreds of people in front of them are probably just some remnants of the gathering.
The two cavalrymen merged into one and rushed towards them, raising dust and smoke. The defenders at the city gate changed their expressions. Some people exclaimed: "Yingyang Guard! Wu Lie Guard!"
"My young prince, do you want to rebel?" The guard standing next to the car asked with a pale face and a trembling voice.
Shang Chaozong, who was standing on the shaft of the carriage, ignored him, but looked at the charging troops with pride.
Tao Xin, who was driving the car, had red eyes. Looking at the approaching people and horses, his eyes filled with tears. He wiped his tears, raised his horn and blew it again.
The person leading the horse was a woman in a green shirt, wearing a gauze hat on her head so that her appearance could not be seen clearly. When the horn sounded, the woman choked, drew her sword in her hand, and swung the sword forward.
The five hundred attacking men and horses quickly transformed into a cone-shaped impact battle formation. One by one, they drew their swords that shone brightly in the sun and rushed forward at full speed.
Ga Miaoshui, who was standing at the window, glanced at the defenders below the city and frowned. The defenders were already timid without fighting and subconsciously retreated.
The soldiers blocking the carriage were so frightened that they gave way and retreated.
Five hundred cavalrymen rushed to the carriage and quickly reined in their horses and stopped. They moved like thunder and were motionless like mountains!
"Brother!" The woman in green shirt who was reining in her horse was trembling in her voice. It was Shang Chaozong's sister Shang Shuqing. She obviously didn't expect that her brother, who had always been strong and strong, was actually in such a shape that his bones were broken and he had suffered so much. As you can imagine, tears were already streaming down her face. ,.
