Chapter 94: Expel the Northern Rong and conquer the world. Since no one is worthy of his loyalty, he will be the emperor!
The group quickly crossed the Yudai River and landed on the roof of Rongshou Palace. With a tap of their toes, they moved as fast as lightning and broke through the core encirclement.
The wind was howling, and the gray clouds in the sky were swirling rapidly. The color of the wind and clouds changed just like the golden-red palace of the emperor and prince who had just died.
The people below finally woke up from their dream. The captain of the imperial guards under Rongshou Palace shouted urgently, and a large number of Tiger Guards and Jinwu Guards on both sides of the Yudai River rushed over here.
Grand Tutor Wen, Long Qian and others standing under the palace corridor looked at each other, stood still, and quickly turned their heads to look over.
But he had no time to pay attention to all these thanks. Behind the eaves of the Ziyun Palace, not far west of Rongshou Palace, Gu Guan appeared and shouted, "Come this way!"
She had already untied the long rope around her waist, and she and Xie Zi and others each held a hemp rope and threw it to the east with all their strength!
Xie Ci, Xun Xiao and the others took it and rushed across the long Sumeru platform and alleys like lightning.
Before Gu Guan and the others came in, they had urgently discussed several backup plans. She had originally planned to divert attention to the east and attack in the west, but now there was no need for that. She simply threw the two large bags of fireworks and firecrackers she was carrying to the ground and pulled the long rope with all her strength!
A group of people flew past, and the one leading them was Xie Ci, dressed in black and holding a long sword. His figure was agile and his momentum was like a surging sea. He landed beside her, grabbed her waist with his backhand, and without stopping, rushed out to the outskirts of the palace like an arrow.
The two longest and most difficult distances had been crossed. As soon as they rushed through Ziyun Palace, they were about to leave the dark mass of guards behind. They did not go through the main palace gate, but rushed eastward, stepping on the high and low roof ridges, and finally rushed to the small side door where the Qingfeng Division was located. They jumped out from the high palace wall, stepped on the railings of the Jinshui Bridge, flew past in a fierce battle, and shot down all the arrows that fell on the roof of the Jiazhou officials' mansion at the other end of the bank.
Then head straight towards the city wall.
They had people on the top of the city wall to pick them up, and it only took them two quarters of an hour to get there. Taking advantage of the commotion on the entire city wall, Jin Ling flashed and rushed up the stone steps. He tied the opening of the battlement with a hemp rope, grabbed it and jumped down.
Xie Hai came rushing from a distance with a dozen fast horses. They landed accurately on the horses' backs, pulled the reins, turned around and galloped away.
And on the other end.
In the East Third Building of the Inner Palace, there was a sudden burst of extremely horrified screams, which stopped abruptly, and several blood flowers exploded.
Yin Luo's sword was stained with blood like Shura. After reaping the lives of the three little princes, he quickly turned around and left.
He headed towards the main gate of the Daqin Palace, because Xie Ci had already led most of the imperial guards to the east, and the main gate was easier to walk through.
Seven or eight people rushed in to meet them, and saw Yin Luo turn around in an instant.
With the endless pursuit behind him, Yin Luo paused as he passed the side of Daqin Palace.
The fourth prince sat at the bottom of the white marble platform. No one paid any attention to him. Only a short time had passed since the sudden assassination. He was splattered with blood. He stood up with the help of the railing, stumbled inside for a while, and then turned around and went out crying.
But even if the palace gate was so empty, it was not possible for the Fourth Prince to stumble out like that.
The wind was blowing in the white marble square, and the Fourth Prince felt something. He hurriedly looked back and saw Yin Luo's tall and thin black figure standing quietly on the white marble railing.
There was a complicated look in Yin Luo's eyes. After a pause, he picked up the fourth prince by the back of his collar and jumped out.
They ran out of the city as fast as thunder, jumped over the city wall, and flew to a safe place in the suburbs. Then Yin Luo put the fourth prince down.
The Fourth Prince lay on the ground, crying, and rolled over to sit up. Yin Luo stood beside him motionless, "Don't look for her anymore."
"Find a job to make a living and live a good life."
Yin Luo turned around suddenly, and the face of the Fourth Prince with red eyes from crying caught his eyes, but he thought of Feng Kun, who was alone and looked desolate, and Yin Luo felt extremely distressed.
He stopped talking nonsense and flew away with his men, quickly disappearing beyond the vast grassland.
Fate is like a flowing river, and we will never meet again.
…
On this day, there were many people whose fate changed overnight.
Including Xie Ci and Gu Wan.
Xie Ci used the thin knife in his hand, and blood splattered everywhere. On this spring day, he cut a big turn in his fate and rushed towards another unknown direction.
It may be good, but it may also be bad, but! Xie Ci will move forward courageously and without regrets.
The wind blew across the fields, taking away the chill of the late spring cold and bringing with it a fragrant scent of moisture and earth.
Xie Ci's blood was still boiling hot. He and Gu Wan rode on the same horse. The cool breeze blew in their faces, and the fat horse's hooves were flying, galloping out like the wind.
The faith in his heart, after the forced bursting and gushing of the Yudai River, seemed to have broken through all shackles and became clearer than ever before.
He controlled the reins with one hand and held a blood-stained long sword in the other. The wind whistled and the horse's hooves clattered. Gu Guan could hear his heavy breathing, and his broad and firm chest rose and fell, giving a feeling of endless turbulent waves.
"Are you hurt?"
Finally safe, Gu Guan took a deep breath, suddenly turned around and looked at him and said.
Xie Ci's Adam's apple moved up and down, and he lowered his head: "I'm fine, I'm not hurt."
He seemed to be still stuck in the moment, his movements were slow and tense with boiling emotions, and the outlines reflected by the skylight had a hard and thrilling visual touch, as if they were carved by a knife or an axe.
Gu Guan looked up at him, but felt like holding her breath, as if a frog had been immobilized by its natural enemy, or she had been sniped. The throbbing she had just seen on the veranda ceiling of Ziyun Palace had not yet subsided. She pursed her lips, stared at him with her big eyes, and put her hand over her pounding heart.
Emma, Xie Ci is so handsome.
He was so handsome beyond her imagination, so handsome that it completely overturned her previous cognition and thoughts. It was like a touch that shook her soul.
She stared at him without blinking until Xie Ci took a deep breath, tried his best to suppress his emotions, and reached out to touch her cheek.
The black gauze palm guard was stained with blood and had a rough and slightly sticky touch. His throat moved up and down, and he said in a slightly hoarse voice: "Let's go first!"
…
Xie Ci was one of those rare people who didn't pay attention to much else. His blood was boiling as if it was about to burst through his veins, rushing forward along with the destiny he had opened up.
All kinds of overwhelming emotions passed through my heart lightly, and finally turned into a gallop like riding the wind.
The group rushed forward, heading northeast at the fastest speed.
The sound of horse hooves clattered as they passed through Jiazhou. A rider galloped towards them. It was Xie Jiawei, carrying a carrier pigeon. The young man knelt prostrate on the ground, "Master! Generals Qin, Chen, Su, Kou, and He have sent a joint letter stating that our Shuofang Army has withdrawn from the Wei camp, retreating over 120 miles west and stationing east of the Lao River as planned!"
Xie Ci didn't show much expression, just said, "I understand."
He raised his head, and the sea breeze from the east brushed across his temples. He raised his hands and took off all his armor and helmet, wearing only a dark tight-fitting suit, and stood on horseback between the north and the south of heaven and earth.
Finally, at nightfall, they arrived at their retreat destination, a cargo store in the suburbs of Silicon County.
Xie Ci finally put away the goose-feather dagger he had been holding in his palm. Inside the small, black-tiled, yellow-walled house, a half-worn black square table sat lit by a brown-glazed oil lamp, leaving the narrow room half-dark and half-bright.
Xie Ci turned his back to her, raised the goose-feather knife and held it horizontally in front of him, holding it with his rough, slender hands. The shiny blade was still snow-white, stained with mottled blood, extending all the way to the handle and his palm-guarding arm.
He reached out and lightly touched the knife that killed the old emperor. Blood splattered onto his hand and arm holding the knife. The blood on the blade would drip and be covered by the blood of other people, but the blood on the handle and cuffs would not.
He reached out and touched the brown-red marks that were in his memory one by one. The scorching temperature was gone, but it was still so thrilling.
Xie Ci took off the old Qilian jade ring from his right thumb. It had mottled marks on it, indicating that it was the one his father had worn for many years.
He placed it upright on the square table, then knelt down and kowtowed three times.
Finally, he stood up and said, "I know that once the emperor's third prince dies, the Wei Dynasty will inevitably fall apart."
But this is the best solution for now.
He had already explained the reason in the palace.
He chose to commit a heinous act. "The Great Wei is beyond salvation. We can only seek other solutions."
He stared at the flickering candlelight and spoke quietly.
Xie Ci's words today were considered as a rebellion against the imperial court. He simply decided to establish his own rule and sent an urgent letter back to Shuofang.
Xie Ci turned around and said to Gu Wan, "There is no construction without destruction. This is what ordinary people want all their lives. They just want a peaceful world and clean governance. Officials should not be too greedy. As long as they can have enough food and clothing and work diligently, they can survive."
He went through so much, including his father and brother, Pang Huai, and Gao Minggong, and finally this point was deeply imprinted in his heart.
However, it is extremely difficult to achieve this and benefit all people.
First of all, it requires an emperor who always keeps this in mind and will not deteriorate over a long period of time, and will never become a person who takes the jade buds raised by human milk for granted.
Xie Ci tilted his head and looked at the yellow-brown ring lying quietly on the square table. "I'm not sure if others can do it, but I'm sure I can!"
"People just want to have enough food and warm clothes, and I'm willing to spend my whole life to achieve that!"
Xie Ci took a breath and suddenly looked up. The dark tile roof was covered with spider webs and was immersed in darkness. But his stern gaze at this moment seemed to be able to see through the tiles, through the gray rain clouds, and look directly at the dark blue sky full of stars!
Xie Ci finally understood his goal!
He thought, since no one was worthy of his loyalty, then he would be the emperor!
At this moment, all the surging and suppressed emotions of the past found a source. All the past difficulties that had no way out, all the intractable illnesses, all the things that had made him angry and worried—the world, his ideals, his father and brothers, his ambitions, his public and private concerns—he finally found a solution today that would resolve everything with a clear conscience!
From now on, we will drive out the northern barbarians and pacify the world!
He thanked me and said he would do his best!
Today he killed the emperor and the crown prince. It was shocking and shocked the world. It was unprecedented and will never be repeated.
He was a traitor and a rebellious general. He caused the collapse of a million-strong army when the country was in danger. He was disloyal and ungrateful, and left behind a cursed reputation.
He might succeed and use the final word to explain everything that happened; but he is more likely to fail and become a traitor in history.
But he doesn't regret it!
Xie Ci finally looked at the ring on the table and said in a hoarse voice, "I finally came up with a solution. They don't need to seek justice, so I will invite them to the Imperial Ancestral Temple!"
Write down the inscription on the monument and pass it down through the ages!
They deserve to be on top.
His father, his brothers, Pang Huai, Gao Minggong, and others.
He tried his best, but found that what his father and brother wanted was not to overturn the verdict and seek justice, so he invited them into the Taimiao to witness the peaceful and prosperous world he was striving for.
By then, everyone will know them.
Their deeds will be passed down through the ages.
This must be the best!
Xie Ci clenched his fist and took a deep breath: "I, Xie Ci, will give it my all from today on!"
He was not afraid of expelling the northern barbarians and conquering the world. The worst outcome would be to be torn to pieces.
What is there to be afraid of?!
It was just getting dark outside the old houses, but there were still faint sounds of horses and carts outside the post road, both far and near.
Xie Ci's voice was not loud, but calm with a variety of emotions in it, slightly hoarse, and he spoke one sentence after another, like the tempering of fine steel. His spine was so straight, and his dark eyes were shining with an indomitable determination and a strong will.
This small house was dazzling and bright, as if sparks were bursting out.
Xie Ci's emotions fluctuated for a moment, but when he turned to Gu Wan, who had been standing in a corner of the room and watching him quietly, he felt a bitter taste in his heart and was overwhelmed by guilt.
The small lamp illuminated the small house. Gu Guan remained silent. She must have felt very uncomfortable and didn't know what to say for a moment, right?
Xie Ci turned around, his eyes, which had been sharp and slanted, fluttered, tinged with a soft, guilty look. He whispered, "I'm sorry, Wanwan, I can't marry you."
The two agreed to get married in spring.
Even the wedding dresses and phoenix crowns were ready, and they had all tried them on.
Her red dress was as fiery as fire, and she was as beautiful as a fire phoenix.
That day, Pianpian walked around him with a smile on her face, and his heart felt like it was on fire.
The two secretly exchanged a kiss in their future new home.
Xie Ci was extremely happy at that time, and he was looking forward to their wedding.
But now, he was glad that they had not officially gotten married.
At this moment, he actually wished that her feelings for him were not as deep as they were at the beginning.
Because that way, even if he died, she would be sad for a while, then let it go and start a new life.
——He may very well die without a burial place on the road ahead.
Destiny was like a torrent, and from this day on, he would rush towards his ideals and goals. However, the goal he was pursuing was too ambitious, and even if he wasn't the target of public criticism today, he didn't dare to have the slightest hope of luck.
He felt guilty towards no one except her.
When it comes to love, he is really selfish.
I am full of love, but love is the least valuable thing.
There is neither a stable life nor wealth and tranquility.
He had witnessed the difficulties faced by the lower-class soldiers, and his life became increasingly simple, more and more like that of his father and brothers. She, being by his side, naturally learned to do the same.
But in fact, this is not what Xie Ci thought. He actually always wanted to go faster. In the past, although he didn't know where the end was, he always wanted to give her a stable life, rather than a bumpy and thrilling life.
This is what a man should do.
However, every time it calms down a little, it comes back again, and it is earth-shaking.
These days, he always wanted to say something but stopped himself, unable to control himself and unable to speak, all because of guilt.
He felt guilty and tormented, all these emotions reached their peak at this moment. He even felt a little regretful for provoking her and disturbing her peace of mind.
When he was moved, his eyes even filled with tears. He tried hard to open his eyes, but tears filled his eyelashes.
He was already much taller than Gu Wan, with a height of eight feet to one meter nine, broad shoulders and a thick back, and had already grown into a fully grown man.
He held her hands, and in the light, he bent down slightly to look at what she was saying.
However, Gu Wan's reaction was completely different from what he expected!
He even knew that with her open-mindedness and the relationship between them today, she would definitely laugh it off and comfort him, even continuing to say to him: "I will always support you!"
But Xie Ci never expected that as soon as he bowed, Gu Wan would hold him up. Her eyes seemed to have sparks, and she suddenly said, "Xie Ci! Let's be together!"
Her eyes sparkled, like two bonfires, her whole body ablaze. She stared into his eyes without blinking, a thrilling spark of light. She smiled and whispered, "Although we can't get married for the time being, we can consummate our marriage first!"
Thanks: "..."
He was surprised.
Gu Guan raised her lips, and her beautiful big almond eyes stared at him as if there were sparks in them.
Maybe Xie Ci will never know.
Today, he really touched her.
When she heard his deafening words on the vermilion veranda roof of Yudai River, she had already rushed to the eaves of Ziyun Palace. She was dazzled by the iron-willed hero.
She felt like she was being electrocuted, and her soul really shuddered. She stared at him without blinking, and his majestic figure, like a towering pillar, was simply captivating.
Maybe even Gu Wan didn't know, no, she should know. Gu Wan had admired heroes since she was a child, and she had seen many heroes, no matter if they were great or ordinary. She admired and worshipped them, and her heart was drawn to them.
The reason why she was so dazzled by the acknowledgments in the original book was that she was touched by his earth-shaking heroic deeds.
She followed him in the book as he galloped across the Central Plains where smoke was billowing, and finally saw him die tragically in a earth-shattering battle by the Huai River, with the Southern Dynasty emperor personally carrying his coffin to bury him.
She was literally crying out from the bottom of her heart.
In fact, she did not really regard Xie Ci in the original trajectory and Xie Ci in reality as a single person.
Because she watched him grow up, watched him stumble into an adult, and walked to where he is today, which is much more profound than just a few lines of lead type.
If the trajectory is different, it is not the same person.
But at this moment, in the hipped-roof hall of Ziyun Palace and in this small house tonight, she once again tasted that electric feeling that made her soul tremble.
Unprecedented.
In fact, no matter the original trajectory or this life, it is the same person.
The shining point of the soul that shines like gold after being polished will never fade.
Gu Wan once thought that she and Xie Ci were already deeply in love, and her feelings for him were almost there, and they were almost ready to get married.
But she discovered today that it didn't seem to be the case, it was far from it!
Today it seems like I have broken through a barrier and entered a new realm.
Xie Ci looked at her blankly. Gu Wan simply reached out and put her arms around his neck and kissed him deeply on the lips.
Her heart was pounding, and she truly felt like she had found her soul mate.
He is a hero, a man who makes her blood boil!
She doesn't care about chastity. She doesn't care even if they are both unmarried, not to mention that they are still husband and wife.
Today, she was going to take this most heroic man in the world for herself!
And he deserved the most perfect love. At this moment, she really felt Cupid's arrow.
Xie Ci also reacted quickly, and the passionate Wu quickly ignited each other's senses. He was no longer a weakling.
Gu Wan pounced on her, holding her thighs on both sides, keeping his lower body steady, but he was soon overwhelmed by her passionate hug and kiss.
His face flushed red, and all the big and small things that had just happened were thrown out of his mind. After she bit him for a while with his face flushed, he soon realized that she was not joking.
She threw him onto the half-worn low couch and tore his shirt open, revealing his muscular chest.
Xie Ci was at a loss for a while, and the two rolled on the couch, he was ridden by her, and finally he turned over and supported himself repeatedly.
"Wanwan!"
He didn't even have time to say anything before Gu Guan wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled him.
With a "snap", a string in my mind suddenly broke.
The scorching temperature rolled in the small room, the oil lamp burned quietly, and the ten-mile spring breeze was like a whip, passing through mountains and ridges, over the eaves, and whipping the human body and soul deep into the body, making them tremble.
The spring breeze swept across the night tide, and the voices of people and horses on the post road, the sounds of birds and night insects, rushed and surged, chasing and winding away.
The author has something to say:
I want to do my best to give this world a fresh start. I'm not sure if others will eventually fall in love with eating jade buds after going up there, but I'm sure I won't! I will do my best to drive out foreign invaders and conquer the world!
Xie Ci finally made it clear that he was going to become emperor! Inviting his father and brother to the Imperial Ancestral Temple to witness the peaceful and prosperous era he was ushering in was the best way he could think of to heal their silent grievances and scars!
We are about to enter the final stage! Who can not be overwhelmed with emotion when seeing such a heroic figure? Hahaha, Wan Wan did a good job, but it's a pity that A Jiang limited us QAQ
Give you a super big kiss! See you tomorrow, my dear babies~ Hahaha (づ￣3￣)づ
