The lightness skills of the dark guards taught by Shen Qianfeng should not be underestimated. Soon there was a battle on the city wall, and the sound of sword fighting was endless. Wen Liunian went to the battlefield for the first time. Although he knew that there was some sense of acting in it, he was extremely worried and looked up. He could hardly take his eyes off it.
Chu Mian watched him from the side, his heart became more and more eager, if he was not afraid of the emperor and his father and brother, he almost wanted to rush over to get closer—the gaze was too undisguised, and the secret guard felt aggrieved, if the other party He's a genuine gangster, who would be happy to be beaten up at first, but he is a nerd with a vague mind, and the things he does are trivial, but he is extremely courteous and courteous on weekdays, which makes people laugh and cry. I really don't know how to deal with it.
Shen Qianfeng and Duan Baiyue fought hundreds of moves in a row, and the fight was indistinguishable. The Chu army vanguard took the opportunity to set up a log and smash open the city gate, rushing in like a tide. The horse neighed and shield Ling Han, and the shouts of three thousand soldiers shook the sky, staining the sky and the earth with a thick color of blood.
Dozens of flares roared into the sky, which was the previously agreed signal. In an instant, the twenty vanguard officials who had been guarding Chu Heng's side suddenly leaped into the air, and Qi Qi rushed over. The soft knife in his hand was unsheathed with a cold light. The speed was so fast that almost no one had time to react, and the blade was already blocked. On Chu Yuan's neck.
The East China Sea Black Dragon Army, which was fighting with the Southwest Army, also turned their backs in an instant, pointing their blade at Chu Yuan.
The surroundings are quiet, only the howling wind blows past.
"Father?!" Chu Mian turned pale with shock, but was dragged back by his subordinates.
"Chu Heng, you are so courageous!" Wen Liunian was guarded by the hidden guards in the middle, he could hardly see outside, and could only shout at the top of his voice.
"If you are not courageous, how can you achieve great things?" Chu Heng laughed wildly, "I am destined to deserve the opportunity given by God."
"You actually colluded with Duan Baiyue." Chu Yuan looked at him coldly.
"From now on, this country will be divided into two." Chu Heng said, "I will have nothing to do with your Chu family."
"My lord, don't be impulsive!" Wen Liunian put his hands in his sleeves, and continued to express his sincerity, "When the late emperor bestowed the surname Chu on his lord, he heard that he was grateful for Dade and shed tears in the hall. , although I won't be able to see it, but I still feel deeply after hearing it once, really don't think about it again?"
"Shut up!" Chu Heng became angry from embarrassment.
"I will give you one last chance." Chu Yuan's tone was calm and calm, "If you stop here, you may be able to avoid death."
"Even now, you still think you can control my life and death?" Chu Heng sneered, "The East China Sea is my territory. Tens of thousands of black dragon troops united with the southwestern tribes can be said to be invincible. With only one Shen Qianfan plus a mere ten thousand Chu troops, Chu How does the emperor plan to contend with it?"
"If my colleagues in the court knew about it, they wouldn't approve of what the prince is doing at this time!" Wen Liunian was quite emotional.
"Chaozhong?" Chu Heng looked at Chu Yuan provocatively, "Chu Huang, why don't you guess, how many people in the court are mine?"
"Wang Yunzhi, Li Ran, Qian Sanli, Zhou Bao." Chu Yuan said word by word, "Add another city guard, Wang Ming, is there anything missing?"
Chu Heng's face froze, and he panicked for a moment.
"Do you really think that if you unite with Duan Baiyue, you can kill the king and usurp the throne, and change your fate against the sky?" Chu Yuan's eyes gradually turned cold, "I gave you the last chance, but you refused to take it. I will see you in the future." Empress, don't say that I, a nephew, don't care about affection."
"Come on! Take him down!" Feeling that the situation was not good, Chu Heng ordered loudly.
Several arrows pierced through the clouds, but Chu Yuan was unharmed, and the assassins around him fell to the ground, all pierced by arrows. The shadow guard leaped down from the city wall, and in an instant, he firmly restrained the father and son of the Chu family. Seeing that the situation was not going well, the rebel army swung their knives and wanted to rush out a bloody road, but saw the opposite Chu army lined up neatly and separated to the two sides. Kill without mercy!"
This army followed Shen Qianfan in the South and North Wars, and they have long been stained with iron blood and cold light. The black iron shields are built into an indestructible protective wall, and thousands of spears are aimed at the enemy. Lost color.
The rain of arrows cut off the sunlight, and the rebels resisted hastily in chaos, but the situation was no longer there. The black ground was gradually soaked in blood, and then turned into a piece of wet mud under the trampling of horseshoes. The black dragon flag was completely burned in the fire, and even the last wisp of light smoke was blown away by the wind.
The battle was short and tragic, with corpses strewn all over the fields under the raging fire, and vultures neighing and circling.
Wen Liunian closed his eyes and let out a long sigh in his heart. Throughout the dynasties, I am afraid that no king can tolerate rebels and rebels, but it is still hard to tell what it feels like to witness so many lives being cut off in an instant.
Chu Heng's face was pale, and he was held up in front of Chu Yuan.
"My lord is too confident in himself." Ye Jin curled his lips, "I didn't keep a single guard by my side. He was captured so easily, yet he still wanted to kill the king and usurp the throne."
The city gate was wide open, and Duan Baiyue and Shen Qianfeng came out together: "Prince Chu, I'm sorry."
"You! Despicable!" Chu Cheng struggled.
"Why did your son say that?" Duan Baiyue's mouth curled up, "I said that day, whoever can give what I want in my heart, I will cooperate with whoever I want. But what I want, other than the Emperor Chu, this king wants No one in the world can afford it.”
Chu Yuan looked displeased and gave him a slight look.
"Cough cough!" Ye Jin almost coughed out his lungs.
Shen Qianfeng: "..."
"To solve you, there is no need to mobilize people to act like this. Even if Da Kun City is your territory, it is more than enough for the Northeast Garrison to go south to destroy it, but I will not leave you any chance to use the people of the city as bargaining chips." " Chu Yuan said, "As long as they are my great Chu people, even if they pay a high price, I will protect them from any worries."
"Do you think that if you kill me, the East China Sea will be peaceful?" Chu Heng knew that the road ahead was over, and his tone became more and more ferocious.
"With me, the people, and tens of thousands of soldiers here, why can't the East China Sea be peaceful?" Chu Yuan looked proud and said in a calm tone, "I will seize the islands that you and the Japanese bandits have privately occupied all these years, and I will take them one by one." Come back. My Great Chu has thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, no matter if it is a prosperous scene or a desolate place, even if it is only an inch, I will not let the villain of the foreign race wantonly trample on it."
The sea of clouds in the sky was surging, and the surroundings were solemn and silent, only the sound of the battle flags. Thousands of soldiers knelt on one knee, shouting to the heavens: "Long live my emperor!"
The corners of Duan Baiyue's mouth raised slightly, and she bowed her head slightly to salute, as if she was willing to surrender.
"Take it to a prison and keep it under strict supervision." Chu Yuan ordered, "I want to interrogate myself."
"Yes." The guards pulled the Chu family father and son up from the ground, and just about to take them down, a shrill neigh suddenly came from the sky. The huge black wings covered the sky and the sun, swooping down like lightning.
"Mourning bird?!" Ye Jin's face changed, "Protect the emperor!"
Before the Imperial Forest Army could take action, Duan Baiyue drew his sword to protect Chu Yuan's side. The sharp claws of the mourning bird are like iron hooks, which can easily tear people apart. Although the soldiers of the Great Chu had never fought against it before, they had heard many rumors. The opponent counterattacked more intensely.
Seeing the timing right, Chu Cheng suddenly broke away from the guards who were holding him down, and jumped onto the back of a mourning bird, pulling its neck and flying into the air. There was a flute sound in front of him, and the mourning bird seemed to have received some kind of order, turned around and flew towards the sea with Chu Cheng.
"There's one more person!" The dark guard suddenly pointed at the sky.
Everyone raised their heads together, and saw a middle-aged man sitting on the back of the largest mourning bird, holding a jade flute in his hand, with gray hair and a ferocious and cold expression.
Wen Liunian was shocked: "Qingqiu?!"
"Damn, it's not dead." The dark guard cursed secretly, took the bow and arrow and wanted to shoot it down, but the mourning bird had already fluttered its wings and flew high, with only a black feather hovering down.
The sound of the flute gradually faded away, and the rest of the mourning birds wanted to leave too. One of them happened to meet Wen Liunian's eyes, probably feeling violated, and suddenly screamed and swooped down.
"My lord, be careful!" Chu Mian turned pale with shock, and flew over from nowhere, but missed - the dark guard had already led Wen Liunian out of the way, and didn't notice that there were still people rushing past, and waited until he regained consciousness When he was pulled away, the bird of mourning had already grabbed him hard on the back, and blood flowed profusely in an instant.
Chu Mian's face was pale, and he rolled his eyes and passed out.
"Young master!" Wen Liunian quickly helped him up.
Ye Jin stepped forward to check his pulse, and told the guards to take him back to the big tent first, and let the rest of the injured soldiers go back to the camp to rest first, and reported that the bird's claws were poisoned, and it took a good diagnosis and treatment to prevent the root cause of the disease.
In order to prevent more troubles, Shen Qianfeng personally took Chu Heng to prison. Ye Jin said: "It's a pity that Chu Cheng ran away."
"I can run for a while, but I can't run forever." Shen Qianfeng said, "Since I was rescued by Qingqiu, I guess I can only hide in a few islands in the East China Sea. At most, I will join forces with Japanese pirates, and I won't be able to make a fortune."
"But there is still a Bel-Air Bay." Ye Jin was a little worried, "The master has not replied for a long time, and I don't know what's going on inside."
"With Lord Wen waiting, the head of the family should not put himself in danger." Shen Qianfeng said, "After finding out the truth, maybe he will come back in a few days."
Ye Jin sighed, and could only hope so.
Although the war is temporarily over, it takes a lot of effort to clean up the mess. Wen Liunian has been in the East China Sea for nearly two years. He seems to be eating and drinking all day long, but he has already found out the dark lines of the Chu family's father and son's party members. From local officials to porters and pawns, the list is three feet long. Chief, this time it happened to be a fish in the urn, and he was temporarily detained for retrial at a later date.
The power of the Eastern Navy was temporarily handed over to Shen Qianfan and another general in the DPRK, and the selection of officials to fill the vacancy fell on Wen Liunian. When he was so busy, he didn't even have time to eat, and he lost weight in just half a month. In a circle, the face was originally small, but this time it looked even more painful, so the aunts and aunts in the city often made stewed soup and sent it over, telling the adults to finish eating.
The dark guard took over the huge food boxes with a smile on his face, and said in his heart that my adults can eat them, but they are not rice buckets. If they eat one chicken, two geese, five pig's trotters and six fish, they will feel dizzy after a meal.
Wen Liunian washed a piece of fruit, shook his hands and sat on the threshold to eat slowly, while watching five red-armored wolves basking in the sun.
Duan Baiyue sat beside him.
Wen Liunian looked at him: "If I remember correctly, the emperor issued an order five days ago, ordering the King of Southwest to leave immediately and return to Yunnan." Why is he still here now.
Duan Baiyue said calmly: "But Chu Cheng escaped by chance, and the battle is not over yet."
Wen Liunian shook his head: "The Southwest Army is good at fighting in the mountains, so they may not have an advantage at sea."
Duan Baiyue smiled: "My lord also wants me to go?"
Of course not. Wen Liunian thought to himself, my man is still in Bel-Air, if there is a real war, of course the more helpers the better.
Duan Baiyue smiled: "Can my lord do me a favor?"
Wen Liunian said without hesitation, "Impossible."
Duan Baiyue's face froze: "Why are you so categorical?" Even if it's for the sake of the elbow, he should think about it before refusing.
Wen Liunian sniffled: "Because Guzhu Ye is too fierce."
Duan Baiyue: "..."
"As a minister, there are some things that are hard to say." Wen Liunian wiped his hands and stood up, walking out of the small courtyard.
Duan Baiyue couldn't help but laugh, but... he's quite smart.
In Bel-Air Bay, Little Six is carefully eating grilled fish under a sheltered boulder. Although I can only sleep in the open during these days and can't eat good food, but compared with the previous days, it is already heaven and earth, and my smiles have increased accordingly. The twittering of ordinary children.
The patrol on the island is extremely strict, and if you are not careful, your whereabouts may be exposed. It took Zhao Yue and Zhou Mubai a whole month to find out the general situation and the agency. Except for the boy in the pool that day, there are about 200 mermaids on the island, and they are not allowed to leave the water for a moment on weekdays. Drugs are added to the food, but they don't know what it is for.
This day when Zhao Yue returned to the deserted island in the back mountain, Zhou Mubai asked as usual: "Is there any gain?"
"Yes, it's just news from outside." Zhao Yue said, "The Emperor secretly joined forces with the Southwest King Duan Baiyue to plan to get rid of Chu Heng. Now that the war in the East China Sea has been decided, Shen Qianfan is temporarily in charge of the military amulet."
"So fast?" Zhou Mubai was surprised.
Zhao Yue nodded.
"In this way, wouldn't the Chu army be able to capture this island immediately?" Zhou Mubai laughed, "You and I have made this trip in vain."
"Not necessarily." Zhao Yue said, "I heard that Chu Heng's father and son are gone, and the deputy general on this island has ordered to ask an expert to find another way out. It is said that they will set up a maze to wipe out the Chu army."
"Is there such a thing?" Zhou Mubai frowned.
"I want to listen more, but the other party has already gone down to the dark room." Zhao Yue said, "The person who can be selected by Chu Heng to train the mermaid should not be an ordinary person, it is better not to take it lightly."
"What should we do now?" Zhou Mubai asked.
"Let's go out first." Zhao Yue said, "Tell the emperor the news, so that the Chu army will not fall into a trap."
Zhou Mubai nodded, and that night there happened to be a boat going out to fetch fresh water, so the three of them followed suit and sneaked into the empty wooden barrel, and they left Bel-Air Bay without anyone noticing it. He went to the deserted island to pick up the dry rations for the boat that had been prepared in advance, and went to Haicai Island to tell Aunt Haihua about the matter, and then, together with Shang Yunze, Mu Qingshan, sailed back to Big Kun City.
Wen Liunian lazily basked in the sun and yawned, thinking about what to eat for the evening, but when he looked up, he saw Ye Jin walking in with a bowl of medicine.
"Master Gu." Wen Liunian greeted, then stood up calmly, "Suddenly remembered... um."
Ye Jin pinched his nose and downed a bowl of medicine,
Wen Liunian's face was wrinkled and sore.
"To prevent the plague, everyone should drink it." Ye Jin said, "The weather is hot recently, and those mourning birds have got something on them, so it's better to be careful."
Wen Liunian had tears in his eyes, and his nose hurt slightly.
It seems that the hands are a bit heavy... Ye Jin coughed unnaturally, and patted him on the shoulder to express comfort.
A while later, Chu Yuan passed by the small courtyard and was startled when he saw his nose was red and tears were streaming down his face. After asking why, he laughed again, and ordered Sixi to buy a bag of candy on the street.
After a while, Duan Baiyue asked suspiciously: "Is someone bullying Sir?"
"No." Wen Liunian clapped the powdered sugar on his hands and explained, "The medicine sent by Master Ye Gu is a bit sour, and the emperor gave the lower official a bag of sugar."
"Really?" Hearing this, the Southwest King calmly stepped into the courtyard, and took the bag of sugar away from his hand.
Wen Liunian: "..."
"This king has never eaten Da Chu's peanut candy." Duan Baiyue said.
Wen Liunian smiled dryly: "This is eight-treasure candy."
"Then I haven't eaten it." Duan Baiyue said with a pleasant expression.
"The King of Southwest just take it." Mr. Wen said very kindly.
After watching Duan Baiyue leave, Wen Liunian licked his lips unsatisfied, and was just thinking about whether to buy another pack by himself, but the dark guard suddenly rushed in vigorously, carried him out and walked out.
"What happened?" Wen Liunian was a little startled when his feet flew into the air.
The dark guard screamed excitedly: "The master is back!"
Wen Liunian opened his mouth wide open, really
There were people coming and going on the street, and it was time for dinner, when suddenly there was a flutter of chickens and dogs jumping ahead, and the dark guard was running with Mrs Wen, all of them were taken aback immediately, as if something serious had happened So he didn't even bother to eat, dropped his chopsticks and ran after him, wanting to see what happened.
On the long street, three fine horses were galloping towards each other. After seeing who the leader was, Wen Liunian was so happy that he almost couldn't believe his eyes.
Zhao Yue got off his horse and strode forward to embrace him in his arms.
"I'm back."
With a sore nose, Wen Liunian buried his face in his chest and didn't speak for a long time.
At first I thought there was a big mess, but it turned out to be a great thing, and the common people felt very excited, and the laughter and noise would almost overwhelm the sky. Then they went home one after another to prepare food and send it to Wenfu, so as to clean up the dust for the head of the family. When Chu Yuan heard the news, he also put down the memorial in his hand and went to join in the fun, bringing a congratulatory gift along the way.
"Where is this little doll?" Wen Liunian didn't see Little Six until he got home.
"It's the same name as yours." Zhou Mubai hugged the child and put it on the chair, "It's called Xiaoliuzi."
"It's an injury anyway." Wen Liunian pulled his arm up to check.
"It doesn't hurt." Little Six felt a little embarrassed.
As soon as he spoke, everyone in the room frowned, the voice...
"Come on, open your mouth." Ye Jin held him in her arms, "Ah—"
Little Six is very obedient.
"I was drugged dumb." Ye Jin looked up, "Who did it?"
"Chu Heng." Zhao Yue said, "This kid was rescued from Bel-Air Bay, and there are one or two hundred other dolls like him inside, who are the so-called sharks in the rumors."
"They're all children?" Wen Liunian asked with a frown.
"Yeah." Zhao Yue nodded, "It's not an exaggeration to say it's the underworld."
Zhou Mubai gave an overview of the situation inside, and then took out the fish tail. Ye Jin inspected it and said, "I'm not sure what the material is, but it's the same thing as the piece of leather that the Pinglang Gang found."
"What's the purpose?" the dark guard asked.
"Underwater warfare is used to destroy the opponent's warship." Zhao Yue called his servants and took the little six back to rest for the time being. "These sharks were brought to the island when they were seven or eight years old. Their movements were restricted and supplemented with drugs. After a few years of training, you will be able to move freely underwater like a sea fish, and your thinking will gradually become stupid, and you will be able to do what you say."
Wen Liu's back felt cold after a while.
Chu Yuan's face was stiff. Someone could do such a tragic thing.
"Fortunately, he was not slaughtered that day." Ye Jin gritted his teeth, "When the battle is won, Wanjun will cut him up before!"
"The next step is to attack Bel-Air Bay?" Wen Liunian asked, "Rescue those children first."
Chu Yuan nodded: "Master has traveled a long distance, let's have a good rest tonight, and discuss the specific plan tomorrow."
The matter of Bel-Air Bay was not resolved, and the rest of the people were naturally not in the mood to throw a big feast, they just had a quick meal and then went back to rest. Wen Liunian sat on the bed after taking a bath, looking at the person across from him, he still felt like he was dreaming.
Zhao Yue held his hand: "Stupid?"
Wen Liunian blinked, and rushed over to hug him: "Are you still going?"
"I'm not leaving." Zhao Yue said, "I will take you with me wherever I go in the future."
"Really?" Wen Liunian murmured in his ear, "But Senior Yun wrote to say that you haven't fully mastered your saber skills yet."
"I don't want to become a peerless master, I just want to protect you." Zhao Yue hugged him tighter, "You are more important than sword skills."
Wen Liunian laughed: "Yes."
The golden-armored wolf was lying on the window sill, waving its whiskers leisurely.
The little red-armored wolf was lying beside him, looking at the bed Hanhan, sleep!
"Thin." Zhao Yuexu held him down.
Wen Liunian squeezed his buttocks, and asked doubtfully, "Really." He was indeed a little skinny a few days ago, but he has eaten elbows for five days in a row, shouldn't he gain weight back.
Zhao Yue bowed his head and pressed a kiss on his forehead: "It's okay, take it easy in the future."
Looking at his handsome features, Mr. Wen unexpectedly became a little... nervous for no reason.
It doesn't make sense.
