Chapter 71

Views:

The setting sun is like blood, dyeing half of the sky red. The Shura field with tens of thousands of people experienced another baptism of blood in just a short moment.

It didn't take long for Man Yao to regain consciousness, she opened her eyes, she was alone in the bed, the footsteps outside were noisy and chaotic, it seemed that the army was retreating. She propped herself up and sat up, the pain in her lower body was unbearable, and her skeleton seemed to be falling apart. But there was a scorching hot air circulating in her body, which gave her the strength to support, which should be the internal force that Zongzheng Wuyou left her. Worry-free, why don't you see him? how is he Fu Tiao has worked so hard to set up this game, and he will never let him go easily! That Acacia San, I am afraid it is not that simple. She lowered her head to look at the torn clothes that couldn't be concealed, and looked at the condensed bright red under her body, her gaze was so indifferent, as if it contained a piece of ice.

Looking up, through Luo Man's line of sight, there is a red haze, there is no one left in Zongzheng Wuyou, and those soldiers who are retreating keep turning their heads to look in her direction, those people must have guessed in their hearts that this Is the woman still alive? If she is alive, how will such a woman survive in the future? Her eyes swept over those indifferent soldiers, and stayed outside the tent on the man standing tall and surrounded by a group of ministers, as if he was a victor.

An adult said with a flattering smile: "The general is so strategizing, I really admire the officials!" He said in admiration, but he was thinking in his heart that using his wife as a bait in this way is not something ordinary people can do. arrived.

Another person echoed: "I can't imagine that someone as arrogant and conceited as King Li is still an infatuated species!

An adult gave a thumbs up and said: "General and King Li, after all, the general is better." Now that King Li has lost, no one is an opponent of the Great General of Wei. At this point, I also understand that this person is not as gentle and simple as it seems on the surface, and this person must not be offended! As a result, everyone flattered and flattered, only the general in their eyes, and completely forgot the crown prince behind them who was greedy for life and afraid of death.

The prince was unhappy, but Fu Tiao was so powerful that he could only swallow his anger, pretended to cough a few times, pushed aside a few ministers, walked up to Wo Tiao, held his head high, and showed his identity as the prince, as if he had forgotten not long ago He also knelt in front of others and begged others to let him live.

"The general is worthy of being the pillar of my court. After the enthronement ceremony, the prince will definitely reward you for your merits!" The prince put on a gesture of grace, and said with a smile: "Everyone says that the seventh emperor is wise, according to this prince, He is far worse than the Great General! The Seventh Emperor Brother has calculated everything, and he can never calculate that the Great General will use his wife to set up this delicate game, waiting for him to jump..." The prince said with some regrets and some regrets He glanced at the direction of Luo Man's big bed, sighed, and said: "It's just a pity, this beautiful woman who is so beautiful...

Some ministers were speechless. The prince is not worried about his situation at this time, but he still has the desire for beauty!

Fu Tzu's complexion darkened, he lowered his eyes to hide the coldness in his eyes, and said: "The prince thinks...the woman inside is really the general's wife?" No one noticed, and he no longer called himself a humble minister. And there was an almost invisible trace of sarcasm in the corner of that gentle mouth.

All the officials were stunned, the prince turned his head and asked, "Could it be that...the people inside were pretended by the general? Haha, the Seventh Emperor's younger brother is smart all his life, and sometimes he is deceived! Well, that's great! I don't know how the General... plans to deal with the Seventh Brother?"

Fu Tiao glanced at him sideways, the corner of the prince's mouth twitched, and a trace of nervousness unconsciously arose in his heart.

Laughing and laughing outside the tent, the woman inside the tent had piercing eyes, her lips curled into a sneer, her slender fingers slowly grasped the red tent in front of her, and she pulled it hard suddenly, the red light burst, she raised her slender hand, and the torn The red tent was draped over her body, the color of blood, reflecting her snowy white hair, forming a dazzling and shocking scene.

The nanmu bed frame couldn't withstand the force, and instantly collapsed to one side, with a loud rumbling sound and flying sawdust, which alarmed everyone in the square who hadn't evacuated yet. Those soldiers just looked over, opened their mouths wide in shock, and stopped in their tracks at the same time.

The ministers also looked back, their eyes widened in surprise. Someone exclaimed, "It looks so similar! It's exactly the same! No wonder such a shrewd person as Li Wang can't recognize him."

Man Yao curled her lips coldly, and she expressed what she couldn't say with a slightly sarcastic look: "In order to protect my own face, I made up such a lie, Fu Zhao, are you ridiculous?"

It seemed that Fu Zhao remembered that there was a woman behind him who didn't know whether she was dead or alive, but he didn't even bother to turn his head.

At this time, three people rushed over from the entrance of the square of Xuande Hall, one was the guard guarding the Qingmi Garden, and the other two were Xiao Sha and Xiang Ying. Seeing that Man Yao had left the mansion for a long time and hadn't come back, they were extremely worried, so they joined forces and forced their way out.

Fu Zhao frowned, and the guard quickly knelt down to plead guilty: "General Qi, Madam has been out of the mansion for more than three hours. Guard Xiao and Guard Xiang are worried about Madam's safety, so they must see the general. The subordinates and others cannot stop them. Please forgive me, General." crime!"

Fu Zhao was startled, and his voice became deep, "What did you say? How did you guard the garden, why did you let your wife leave the house?"

The guard was startled, "Didn't the general ask the guard Chang to take his wife to Tianyu Palace to visit Emperor Qiyun?"

Fu Zhao's heart sank suddenly, and his brows were tightly frowned. At this moment, Xiao Sha and Xiang Ying glanced at the independent woman not far ahead at the same time. The white hair made them almost think they were Dazed, shocked, all his usual calmness disappeared at this moment, he opened his eyes wide in disbelief, and shouted: "Master! Why are you here? Your... hair..."

Fu Zhao's complexion changed, how could even Xiao Sha not be able to tell the truth from the fake

He raised his eyelids and turned his head slowly. When his sight touched the woman with silver hair exuding a cold aura, his chest trembled, his eyes suddenly opened, and his hands and feet felt cold.

These cold eyes, this mocking mouth...why are they so familiar? It doesn't look like Chen Xiang who he has known for many years. This realization made him panic, and there was a buzzing in his head, and he was stunned!

"Rongle? How could it be you? Why would it be you?" He flew over quickly, grabbed her body that was so fragile that it would fall if the wind blew, and shook it violently. His voice was trembling, his eyes were shocked, flustered, and even more unbelievable.

Manyao looked at him with a sneer, and said with her eyes: "I want to ask you why! Fu Tzu, you broke your promise to me and failed my trust in you! I will always remember this shameful humiliation!" She Raising his slender and pale hands, he forcefully separated his bluish-white fingers holding her shoulder one by one.

Fu Tiao backed away in shock, looking at her pale and bloodless face, at her cold and heartless eyes, at the corners of her thin mouth with long lines of blood condensed, and at... her head full of white hair...

impossible! How can this be? impossible!

No one has ever seen such a great general of the state of Wei. The ministers looked at each other, looked at the white-haired woman, and seemed to understand something. It turned out that the great general of the state of Wei did not know that the woman in the red tent was his wife! This matter is really strange.

Those soldiers looked at the general they had always believed in like a god in astonishment, and saw that his pupils were dilated at this moment, and the gentle and calm expression had completely faded from his handsome face, leaving only a gray patch.

Such a deep and cruel blow, as if his heart was forcefully gouged out at that moment, he couldn't vent the intense pain.

How could he believe that he... actually ruined his most beloved woman with his own hands!

His complexion was pale, the veins on his face were protruding, and his throat was rattling. He looked up at the sky in pain, and the tearing sound from the depths of his chest choked him to pieces.

The sky was still clear and cloudless, the setting sun was like blood and picturesque, and the palaces in the imperial palace stood tall and majestic as usual. He looked at the cleared squares around him, everything was restored to the original, it seemed that it had never changed, but he knew that some things had been completely changed under his own hands, for example, the last ray of light and hope in his life, and then There will be no more!

Man Yao's face was expressionless, she didn't look at him indifferently, her white hair was curled up, and the roots were flying, flaunting the power of hatred, as if she wanted to pierce into someone's heart and tear that heart severely .

The bright red bloodstains under the body snaked along the side of the thigh to the slender ankle, condensing into a thread. She was barefoot, one foot deep and the other shallow, dragging a long scarlet veil. Under the surprised eyes of tens of thousands of people, she walked past him with difficulty and slowly, and walked past this place that witnessed her lifelong humiliation. Every inch of land. Refuse anyone to help you.

Fu Tiao seemed to be petrified, unable to move at all. Watching her walk by her side helplessly, her three thousand snow silks filled his eyelids, cracking his painful pupils.

"Rongle..." Knowing that he opened his mouth silently.

He suddenly thought, why did he come to this world for a walk? He was chased and killed by his biological father since he was a child, and he was burdened with the hatred left to him by his mother. In countless humiliations and escapes, hatred was the only belief that supported him to live. He has always gritted his teeth and blood for the annual bone-piercing pain. swallow. In order to get revenge, he spared no effort to achieve his goal at all costs. Now, he finally won, but he was not as happy as he imagined!

When the vengeance was avenged and the imperial power was in his hands, he paid a price worse than his life, in exchange for a heart-wrenching regret that would never fade away in his eternal life! How cruel fate is to him, without the support of hatred, without the warmth of his lover, what is the meaning of his future life

He laughed miserably, his chest empty. If life only pierces darkness, then don't be afraid of a little more darkness, anyway, there is no light. He is alive, and there is hatred! Whoever takes away his last light will have to pay the greatest price back.

"Come here! Send 50,000 archers to surround the Eastern Suburb Inn. If anyone appears, kill, kill, or pardon! Tianyu Palace will send 10,000 more horses, and no one is allowed to enter or leave! All the 'refugees' in the suburbs" will be killed. , one does not stay. "The gentleness on his face was no longer there, and the ferocious killing intent in his eyes cast a layer of frost on the setting sun in the sky, causing a shudder in the hearts of all the ministers.

Fu Zhao glanced at the fearful prince, and said expressionlessly: "The prince is rebellious, colluding with the concubine Lian to poison His Majesty, he should be punished, come on, put him in prison first, and wait for his punishment!"

The prince opened his mouth wide in shock, broke free from the restraint of the guards, and said angrily: "You, what are you talking about? You are the most rebellious, I am the prince, what are you, dare to ask someone to arrest me! Why do you? This is mine! The world!"

Everyone was also quite surprised. The prince colluded with the concubine Lian to poison His Majesty? Even if it is, the Great General of the State of Wei cannot suppress the crown prince without showing evidence. If he really wants to proclaim himself emperor, he should use the crown prince's hand to let him proclaim himself emperor first and then secretly manipulate him to give him the throne. The name is justified, but it can also block the people of the world...

Fu Tiao didn't care about the eyes of everyone, just sneered, his gentle expression faded away, his cold facial features were more similar to those of Emperor Lintian. He approached the prince step by step, but the prince backed away in a hurry, but he smiled and said, "Why should I? Just because I am the son of the late Empress Fu, according to the ancestor's rules, the eldest son should be the real prince! If not My mother was framed by traitors, and I was exiled among the people. Do you think you can become the crown prince? Hmph! Just in time, all the adults are here today, so let me explain everything clearly. I am the son of the former empress Fu Yuan. There is the Queen's Gold Book and Gold Seal as proof! All the ministers must remember that on the day when His Majesty first enshrined the Queen, he promised in front of all the court officials, Chinese and military officials that as long as my mother gave birth to a dragon son, she would be sealed. For the prince, for the heir of a country, never change!" He said as he took out a small, exquisite brocade box from his arms, opened the lid, and a golden seal symbolizing the highest power in the harem was pressed on the golden box. On the brochure, it is the property of the former queen. At that time, His Majesty asked the first queen to take back the gold book and gold seal, and abolished her to make Concubine Yun Gui her queen, but for some unknown reason, it never came to pass. Presumably, the first queen gave these things to her son, in order to prove his integrity in the future. identity.

The ministers are all Zhang Zhang. Stunned, they had also discussed in private that the general looks a bit like His Majesty, but seeing that His Majesty and the General have not moved much, they thought it was just a normal resemblance, but they did not expect that they were really father and son, and they were also Fu. Queen's son! In this way, it is logical to inherit the Datong.

The prince's complexion was ashen, and he lay limp on the ground. He had always regarded the Seventh Emperor as his greatest threat. Unexpectedly, people with real ambitions were actually lurking all the time, waiting for the time to ripen. He did not give up and said, "Who knows where you stole these things from? These alone cannot prove your identity!"

Fu Tiao closed the lid of the box, took a look at him, and said with a gentle smile: "My lords think so too? If you don't believe me, it's not impossible to do a blood test, but I don't like being doubted very much. .” After finishing speaking, his gentle but sharp eyes swept over the ministers one by one.

Those are people who have been in the officialdom for a long time, so they naturally know how to observe the situation. An adult stood up and said with a flattering smile: "Your Majesty has always felt that the general and His Majesty look so similar, and they have the aura of a king, so they must be born as dragon sons." , as expected. Since the general has the queen's gold book and gold seal, he can't be wrong."

When one person speaks, everyone follows closely, and no one wants to lag behind. The way to survive as an official is always like this. The prince was in complete despair, glaring viciously at the ministers who had pledged their allegiance to him before, and turned into another face in a blink of an eye.

Fu Zhaodao: "Lord Lao Yang will be present at the enthronement ceremony. There is no need to be too extravagant, but there is nothing missing. I will give you a month, is there a problem?"

Yang Wei hurriedly said: "The lower officials will do their best to live up to the general's entrustment."

Fu Zhao nodded, "This month, other adults should try to stay out of the house as little as possible. Recently, the outside world will be very uneasy, and there will be too many connections, so there is no guarantee that something will happen!" Something happened within a month.

The ministers were shocked, and quickly responded. The group of people looked very respectful, and felt a kind of sincere fear in their hearts for the young prince who was about to become emperor. They secretly squeezed their palms covered with cold sweat, bid farewell, and went back to their homes. The cold moon is like water, and the evening wind is cold. Although a great happy event was about to arrive in the General's Mansion of the State of Wei, no one smiled, and the whole mansion was shrouded in oppressive pain. The servants only knew that his wife was carried back by guard Xiao two days ago, and they didn't know what happened. She was fine when she went out at noon, but when she came back, her hair was all white, and her body seemed to be seriously injured. After entering the mansion, all the guards guarding the Qingmi Garden were executed, and the guard Chang who took his wife out that day disappeared without a trace.

Qing Mi Garden was shrouded in a gloomy mist, silent. When Man Yao walked halfway that day, she finally couldn't hold back and fell down, and was carried back by Xiao Sha. After Xiao Ke checked her body, she cried so much that she didn't speak for a long time, so anxious that Xiao Sha and Xiang Ying were in hot water The ants on the floor almost hit the wall.

For two days and one night, the outside world was turned upside down. There was no one in the Tianyu Palace, and the "refugees" in the suburbs also escaped from control. More than half of the people in the underground secret palace of the Dongjiao Inn escaped, and the archers sent by Fu Zhao suffered heavy casualties. But at this time, Fu Tzu had no effect. He secretly withdrew hundreds of thousands of troops and had already rushed outside the city, waiting for those orioles!

During this period, he has been guarding in front of Man Yao's bed, only giving orders and never leaving the room. At this time, the outside situation was basically settled, the Jiangnan rebels had been subdued, Wuyin Building was restrained, Tianqiumen disappeared overnight, and Emperor Qiyun was nowhere to be found.

The entire capital city, and even the entire country, are under his control. In the eyes of the world, he is the ultimate winner, but only he himself knows that the moment he started this plan, he has already lost the most precious thing in his life!

Looking at the woman lying in the bed, his heart felt like a knife was being pierced, and his regret was unbearable, as if decades had passed overnight, and he had gone through all the vicissitudes and sufferings in the world.

In the past two days, he thought a lot, thought of all the days when they met, from the first time he saw her, he had the intention of taking advantage of her, every step he took was thoughtful and careful, he really took her She became a pawn, but sadly, he knew he fell in love with this pawn but had to continue to use it. The hatred of more than 20 years has been deeply rooted in the bone marrow, and has long been integrated into the blood, connected with his life, and will never die. This is his established destiny!

Caressing her pale face with his hands, the three dry snow on the pillow made him unable to open his eyes. She is such a proud person, he actually forced her to be forced to Suo Huan by her loved one in front of tens of thousands of people. The extreme physical and mental torture made her gray hair! It was because he employed people improperly, and he was too conceited to think that he was planning everything, that brought her to this point. He regretted it so much, why didn't he come back to see her before Ji Ge implemented it, why didn't he want to look back at her desperate eyes outside the Xuande Hall

In the secret room of the prison, at the moment when poison was poured, she said: "Chou, save me!" He clearly heard it, why didn't he go in and see her? Why

"Rong... Le... What the hell did he do to the woman he loves?! He clenched his fists and hung down on the bed, wishing he was dead! His heart was in excruciating pain, as if he had pinched his heart with iron clamps. There was a violent tremor in his chest, and a mouthful of scarlet blood spit out on the brightly colored brocade quilt. He grasped the quilt tightly with his fingers, buried his head suddenly, and fell on her body, sobbing and crying bitterly. "Rongle... ah..." The whimper sounded like a suppressed cry from the depths of his chest, and he was still so forbearing. For so many years, no matter what kind of adversity he faced, he told himself that a man bleeds but does not shed tears. But today, he couldn't control himself.

The shattered lead of time seemed to turn into countless sharp knives, stabbing hard into his heart. This bone-piercing regret is in his heart, how will he spend the long life in the future? Manyao has been sunk in the darkness, looking for the last trace of warmth and light in her heart. Her brows were furrowed, her consciousness was struggling all the time, while she didn't want to wake up to face this cruel world, she told herself that she had to wake up, her lover was still suffering somewhere, and he needed her. She can't be cowardly, she has to be strong.

Finally opening her eyes, she saw a man sitting in front of the bed with a thin face who seemed to be ten years older.

Red face, white hair, pain
