Eight hundred miles to the west of Chang'an city.
The Chu State army has already arrived here.
Among them, 30,000 light infantry, 10,000 heavy infantry, 20,000 light cavalry, and 8,000 heavy cavalry. Other arms, crossbowmen and siegemen, add up to five thousand.
An army of nearly 70,000 people was stationed in a place eight hundred miles outside Chang'an City in such a grandiose manner. When you looked up, you could only see a black man's head and the "Chu" flag that was fluttering in the wind.
After the news came back to Chang'an, the people of Chang'an were unable to keep calm.
The current Chang'an has been surrounded by groups of six countries, but the available forces in Datang's hands are already very few.
The important military generals Meng Zhulu, Su Chunjun, and Guo Zhenying either died on the battlefield or were assassinated by the top masters of the Great Wilderness. Datang's military could no longer find a general who could stand up and lead the entire army at this time.
What's even more disintegrating is that the emperor gave up.
He hasn't appeared in the court for a long time. At first, he would let the close-fitting eunuchs come out to meet with the officials. In these few days, he can't even see the close-fitting eunuchs. No one knows what the emperor is doing, even the emperor. Whether it is still alive or not is uncertain.
The Emperor Li Tong, whom the officials of the Tang Dynasty and the people thought of, was still alive, and he was alive and well.
In Li Tong's view, the demise of Datang is only a matter of time, so there is no need to resist it. Before, he still imagined that he could reach an agreement with the temple to cede most of the territory of Datang in exchange for a chance to survive. However, the temple did not have this thought at all, and the other party was going to destroy him and destroy Datang.
So now Li Tong has begun to live a life of drunkenness, he wants to enjoy himself when he is still the emperor.
"Come and come, fill me with wine. Don't be stunned, continue to dance, I will reward you for a good dance." Li Tong held a barely dressed dancer in his arms, half leaning on the dragon couch, holding it with his left hand. An amber cup, which has just been filled with wine by the dancer.
Li Tong laughed, raised his neck and poured all the wine into his mouth, and then dragged the dancer to him, kissed him fiercely, and transferred the wine to the dancer's mouth, mouth-to-mouth.
Seeing the dancing girl struggling, Li Tong was greatly satisfied.
He patted the dancer's round and tight sex, "Go, dance with them. Great dance, this Ye Mingzhu belongs to you."
The dancer hurriedly swallowed the wine in her mouth and gave a big gift to Li Tong: "Thank you, Your Majesty."
"I didn't jump well, I dragged it out and cut it!" Li Tong said drunkly.
The dancer's face turned pale again in an instant, and she returned to the dance floor tremblingly, and began to dance with the other dancers.
Li Tong changed his posture, clenching his fist with his left hand against his head, putting his right hand on his knee, and tapping as the dancer danced.
"Well, it's not bad, I really like it. Come, reward!"
The eunuch, who had been waiting next to the dragon couch, sighed softly, turned around and fetched a tray with silver on it, and threw it onto the dance floor.
Those dancing girls didn't dare to stop and snatch, because before, there were dancing girls who stopped dancing to pick up money, and then their heads were chopped off.
Only after the dance is finished, can you get those rewards.
But the silver was thrown all over the floor, which invisibly increased the difficulty of dancing. If you step on the silver inadvertently, the movement will be deformed, and the movement will slip and fall. No matter what kind of situation arises, he will be punished.
The dancers were not at all happy because they were rewarded, but became more cautious.
Li Tong's eyes were blurred, and his body slowly softened. When he was about to fall asleep, he murmured, "My Datang... is about to die."
Concubine Gao was standing outside the hall, seeing all this in his eyes.
At first she would come in to dissuade her, but not only did it not work, she was severely scolded by Li Tong. If she was not a queen mother, she would have to be killed by someone ordered by Li Tong.
It was Gao Guifei's wish to send her son to the throne, but what she wanted to see was definitely not such an emperor, but an emperor who worked hard to rule Tang Dynasty to a higher peak.
In this way, even if the will is tampered with, the son's deeds are worthy of Datang.
And after she died, she could also have the face to see Li Hong.
After Li Tong fell asleep, Concubine Gao Gui walked into the hall, and the dancing eunuchs knelt down, and were stopped by Concubine Gao when they were about to ask for peace: "No, go to that blanket to cover your Majesty. You guys. … All step back."
The dancers knelt and moved towards the door.
"Wait." Concubine Gao's eyes fell to the ground: "Pick up all the money."
The dancers crawled over again, picking up all the silver on the ground before leaving.
Concubine Gao asked all the other servants to leave, and reached out on the dragon couch alone, touching her son's face with her hand.
"Tong'er, the queen knows that your heart is suffering. It's because the queen is not good for you to suffer so much." Gao Gui said distressedly: "Don't worry, the queen will help you. In this world, we don't want it, who wants whom? Take it."
Li Tong turned over: "My Great Tang... My Great Tang..."
Concubine Gao wiped her tears, stood up and left quickly.
"Stop driving, Ai's family is going to the college!"
…
Academy.
After Liu Jianbai left, Song Fei fought Feng Huayue.
This is a duel between painter and boxer.
The pen in Song Fei's hand painted thousands of landscapes.
Feng Huayue's fist is responsible for destroying these scenery.
The end result is that both sides suffer.
Song Fei held her drawing board and leaned against the tree trunk. The blood from the corners of her mouth had just been wiped off, and then it leaked out again.
Feng Huayue leaned on the bluestone slab, her left arm slumped softly, and blood flowed down her arm to the ground.
Both sides no longer have the strength to fight, and can only temporarily truce, wait until the strength is restored, and then continue to fight.
Song Fei said: "Actually, I don't agree with Master's point of view."
"Then what are you doing in the academy?" Feng Huayue said.
Song Fei said: "Teacher's order is hard to violate."
"Oh, it sounds good." Feng Huayue sneered: "I admit that you, a painter, do have some skill, but you are almost ready to kill me."
Song Fei smiled: "Can't you also kill me?"
"You wait, wait for me to rest for a while, and see how I kill you." Feng Huayue yelled.
"The Demon Sect is the Demon Sect, and the killing intention is too heavy." Song Fei said.
Feng Huayue said with contempt: "You won't lose heart by saying this? Since the outbreak of the war, how many innocent people of the Tang Dynasty have you killed? Now the entire land of the Tang Dynasty is full of the wailing of resentful souls. Even in the end you If you win, will you still be able to sleep for the rest of your life? Close your eyes and your mind is full of the people who died in vain!"
Song Fei said lightly: "I didn't expect that these words would come out of the mouth of a demon saint. It really surprised me."
"Only you, what demon sect is divided into, orthodox, so you will never compare to academy, not to your husband
child. Because in the eyes of his old man, all beings are equal. We are born here, we are born here, and we die here, why do we split into so many camps? "Feng Huayue said.
Song Fei thought for a while: "There is some truth in what the Master said, but unfortunately I was not born in a college, so even if I agree with these views, it is of no use."
Feng Huayue said: "Then what are you talking about here?"
"It's boring anyway, right should be just chatting." Song Fei said.
Feng Huayue rolled her eyes and no longer paid attention to her, but focused on healing her injuries.
At this time, a sedan chair appeared in the distance of the trail and came to the two of them at a very fast speed.
Feng Huayue frowned: "The sedan chair in the palace?"
The guard next to the sedan also saw the two of them, and immediately signaled the bearer to stop, and communicated quietly with the person in the sedan through the sedan curtain.
After a while, the curtain in front of the sedan chair was lifted, and the concubine Gao in regular clothes came out, "Excuse me, who are the students of the college?"
Feng Huayue pointed to herself: "I am, why?"
Concubine Gao Gui said: "I want to find Mr. Da."
"Why are you looking for Master Uncle? Who are you." Feng Huayue looked at Concubine Gao Gui warily.
"I am... Mr. Da knows who I am when he sees me." Concubine Gao hesitated for a moment, but still did not say who she was.
Feng Huayue sighed: "Don't say forget it, you didn't come when you came, the master is not in the academy, just left."
Concubine Gao suddenly panicked: "Is Mr. Da not there? He can say when he will be back."
Feng Huayue lowered her head slowly, her expression a little more sad, and said, "That's not good, it might not come back."
Concubine Gao's body staggered a few times, and almost fell down, but the guard next to her was quickly supported by eyesight and hands.
"So, I'm disturbed." Gao Guifei returned to the sedan chair in despair, with only one thought in her mind at this moment.
Heaven is going to perish Datang.
"Hey, haven't you said anything about looking for the uncle master?" Seeing Concubine Gao Gui leaving, Feng Huayue yelled loudly: "You tell me, when the uncle master comes back, I can tell him."
Concubine Gao Guixin said that you just talked about it just now, is it possible that Mr. Da will not be able to come back? This will say that Mr. Big will tell you after he returns.
The girl didn't say a word of truth.
"No need." Concubine Gao said weakly: "Stop driving, go back to the palace."
The sedan chair dropped its head, and when it was about to leave, a shadow fell to the front of the sedan chair, blocking the way.
The guard immediately drew the knife from his waist.
As a result, as soon as the knife was pulled out, it split into two pieces, and the guard himself flew out four or five meters, and fainted after landing.
The concubine Gao in the sedan still didn't know what was happening outside, but felt that the sedan didn't move after getting up, and said, "Go? Are you still going to resist the order?"
"Queen dowager, and...and...and assassin." The bearer stammered.
Concubine Gao violently lifted the curtain.
She knew the people standing in front of her.
The son of General Zhou Ding, Mr. Six of the academy.
Zhou Fei!
Feng Huayue and Song Fei didn't expect Zhou Fei to come, and they exclaimed in unison. But the meaning conveyed in this exclamation was completely different.
Feng Huayue is happy, Song Fei is happy, mixed with a touch of embarrassment. Thinking about what she had done again, the embarrassment turned into sadness, and finally she closed her eyes back and held the drawing board in her arms tighter.
