Chapter 243 Jin丨Exclusive release by Jiang Wenxue

Unconsciously, the first batch of soldiers finished training and were led to the battlefield by Pei Rui.

This was the first time Pei Rui led the troops alone. He was young and invisible, so he should not have high prestige among his soldiers.

But when Zhuge Zhengwo and others were training, Pei Rui participated in the whole process. He first accompanied them for two months and then trained others as a coach. Today, no one does not recognize him and knows his ability. They are all convinced and obey his orders, showing the demeanor of a king's teacher.

After the meeting with Li Yanxian, Pei Rui's soldiers were organized into a separate battalion, still led by him.

Yun Heyan also led a group of troops, while Liu Yixuan followed Li Yanxian and acted as a tool to deliver messages.

The three groups of troops were fully armed, carrying the new weapons developed by Xie Heng, and made rapid progress. In less than two months, they completely conquered the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun.

As the day of King Taiping's enthronement approached, the victory news was also reported back to the capital.

Although the ministers in the court had their own selfish desires, they all had a heart to serve the country when they were young. When they passed the imperial examinations, everyone wanted to display their talents and make a difference. However, once they entered the court, they had no choice but to gradually lose their direction amid many slanders and setbacks.

Now that the national strength has greatly increased, the ancestral foundation has been recovered in one day, and the sword hanging over the head has finally disappeared. There is no need to worry about becoming a slave of a fallen country one day. Everyone is jubilant, and the atmosphere of pessimism and decadence has been swept away. The disgust towards King Taiping is not so deep.

He may be a traitor, but there is no evidence, and there is no way to subdue him.

The unparalleled achievements are the nail in the coffin!

King Taiping will definitely leave a deep mark in the history books. While he has no one to use now, surrender early and take the "merit of following the dragon", then your name will go down in history!

The people in the Ministry of Rites prepared for the coronation ceremony more attentively.

-

Before the front line collapsed, Wanyan Honglie received military intelligence and had already anticipated this result.

He asked for permission to see the emperor overnight, reminded the emperor to leave, and then returned to his house to arrange for his wife and children to leave first.

This temporary residence soon became busy, and the servants took torches and skillfully packed their bags.

Wanyan Kang stood in the corridor, staring at this scene in a daze. Seeing Wanyan Honglie passing by, he hurriedly chased after him: "Father, where are we moving to?"

Wanyan Honglie smiled bitterly: "Go to Guangning Prefecture to rest for a few days. If it doesn't work, we can only return to Tokyo."

The Tokyo he mentioned refers to Liaoyang Prefecture on Tokyo Road, which is not far from Posu Road, which borders Goryeo.

Although Wanyan Kang is Wanyan Honglie's son, he was born and raised in Dadu and occasionally went to Tokyo a few times.

It was far less prosperous than Dadu. Even the things to protect against the cold were extremely simple. During meetings, everyone sat cross-legged on the kang. There was no royal honor at all.

He was not used to the climate there, and he didn't like the barbarity there.

Wanyan Kang asked, "Father! Why are you leaving? Shouldn't you stay and defend the city?"

How could we give up the country that our ancestors had fought for so easily!

Wanyan Honglie clearly understood the situation. After King Taiping came to power, the military momentum increased greatly. It was no longer the same as before. Even without those powerful weapons, it would not be easy to win.

He was silent for a long time, and said in a stern voice: "It was never ours."

"Father!"

Wanyan Honglie patted his shoulder, "Go to your mother, she is waiting for you."

Wanyan Kang made up his mind, "I won't leave."

Wanyan Honglie was surprised: "Kang'er?"

"I want to stay!"

"There is no need to do this, as long as the Jurchens are still here, there will always be a day to come back." Wanyan Honglie said, "Kang'er, be obedient, go pack your things, your mother is weak, and you will need to take care of her along the way."

Wanyan Kang looked at him stubbornly.

Wanyan Honglie: "What's wrong?"

Wanyan Kang: "I don't want to leave."

He felt that his mother didn't want to leave even more than he did.

But he was already busy with his own affairs. If he took his mother with him, he would not only have to fight in the war, but also have to endure his father's wrath. He was afraid that he would be caught soon, or he would not be able to escape from the beginning. He could only take care of himself first.

Wanyan Kang had quarreled with him before he ran away from home. Although both parties were in a stable mood and the words were not fierce, when it came to that issue, no matter what attitude they had, the different positions of the two people could be regarded as a "quarrel."

Wanyan Honglie's expression became colder and colder, and then he didn't know what he thought of, he relaxed his frown, and chose to give in: "Okay."

After all, this was the child he had raised for fifteen years. Even if he was not his own, he was no different from his own son.

Wanyan Honglie: "If you want to go home, just come to Tokyo to find me."

Wanyan Kang's heart ached, and his eyes were slightly moist, "Yes."

"Good son." Wanyan Honglie hugged him, "Be careful when you are alone outside, and take your own safety as the most important thing."

"Yes."

Wanyan Kang turned and left. After walking out of the courtyard, he raised his hand to wipe his eyes.

He came to the convoy outside and did not see a single horse.

"Little Prince." The guards who drove the carriage hurriedly saluted.

Yang Kang ignored him. He drew the golden knife at his waist, cut the rope of the horse, took the reins, jumped on the horse, and the red figure gradually disappeared in the night.

The army of Daxing has not yet attacked, and this state capital is still safe.

Yang Kang moved into the county government office as the young prince of the Jin Kingdom and asked the local officials for some money and food.

He didn't take anything with him when he left, not because he was in a hurry to say goodbye to Wanyan Honglie, but because he was afraid that if he hesitated for a moment, he would be reluctant to leave.

His father treated him very well, but this kindness was no longer pure, and Yang Kang could no longer get along with Wanyan Honglie as before.

He always felt that he owed Wanyan Honglie a lot, and when he disagreed, he would always compromise, from moving his family from Dadu to this place to food, clothing, housing and transportation.

After being entangled by his mother's tears, he was trapped by his father's kindness.

Now he is free.

The people in the yamen didn't know that the emperor and the princes had already fled overnight. The title of Prince Zhao was very useful here, and Yang Kang was arranged to the best room.

He waved away the maid who came to serve him. He was excited and a little melancholy. The complicated emotions made it difficult for him to fall asleep.

In the early morning, there was suddenly chaos outside.

Yang Kang immediately got up, took the package and the knife, wrapped his outer robe in a hurry, and ran outside. He saw a bright fire in the distance, and white smoke broke through the night sky.

"What happened?" Yang Kang grabbed a person and asked.

"Little, little prince? Run quickly, the people of Xing are coming!"

So fast?

Yang Kang hesitated for a moment, gave up the idea of ​​organizing a resistance, and rode alone to leave in the chaos.

He circled the city gate from the north, but unexpectedly, the city was also surrounded by marching troops. When they found out that he was going to leave the city, soldiers came over immediately, holding swords and spears and surrounded him, "Get off the horse!"

Yang Kang had no choice. Even if his martial arts skills were high enough to kill the six men in an instant, he could not escape the arrows of thousands of people nearby.

He got off the horse obediently, and the weapons immediately came forward and stuck on his neck.

"Who are you? Where are you going?" asked a small leader.

Yang Kang put his hands behind his back, showing no fear, and said arrogantly: "You are not qualified to talk to me yet, call your chief officer over."

He didn't know who the chief officer of this team was. In the past, there were many military positions in Daxing. The positions of guarding the border included the chief envoy, the recruiting envoy, the commander, etc. Some people even held multiple positions.

In addition, Daxing has recently been reforming its military system, and the positions have also changed. Yang Kang didn't know what it was like now, and didn't dare to say the specific positions.

But he knew that the chief general of Xingguo was Li Yanxian, and one of the deputy generals was Liu Yixuan.

Seeing that he was dressed brightly and had an extraordinary demeanor, the soldiers of Xingguo immediately reported that he might really have an extraordinary identity, and soon someone who had the final say came over.

Yang Kang looked at the tall figure walking out of the firelight, and his palms were full of cold sweat.

"Let him go." The man said coldly.

The soldiers put away their weapons.

"Follow me."

Yang Kang had no choice but to follow him.

The man took him to a very remote place, surrounded by collapsed ruins. The sky was already purple, the night sky was a clear deep blue, and the firelight illuminated layers of shadows.

Yang Kang met a pair of scarlet eyes and couldn't help but take two steps back, "You..."

The tall man gradually approached, full of oppression.

Yang Kang was in a panic.

He recognized himself! He knew that he was the little prince of the Jin Kingdom!

And there was a grudge between them!

This is a good place to silence people. The broken walls blocked everyone's sight, and no one noticed this place...

The man raised his hand.

Yang Kang leaned against the wall, a layer of dust fell down, he closed his eyes, and felt something cold touching his wrist, "Ah!!"

Yun Heyan paused.

Xue Chen: [Is it that serious? It's not the first time.]

System: [Maybe he is more afraid of pain?]

Yun Heyan hesitated and did not bite directly. Instead, she took out a dagger and cut a shallow wound on the back of his hand. A sweet taste came out. Yun Heyan quickly licked it.

[Wow, he is so good, it has a built-in heating function.]

Yang Kang opened his eyes and was shocked to see such a scene, "What are you doing!"

He tried to pull his hand back.

"Don't move." Yun Heyan said.

"You...you..." He didn't dare to say anything excessive in the end.

Yun Heyan took a breath for a while and found that the cut was too shallow. It healed before he drank enough and stopped bleeding. She let him go in disappointment.

Yang Kang's cheeks turned pale and red because of anger and fear, "I want to see Liu Yixuan."

Yun Heyan: "You can just leave."

Yang Kang was stunned, then sneered: "Will you let me go? I'm afraid you will send someone to arrest me on the way and send me to King Taiping to ask for credit. Tell me the truth, I'm not a little prince at all. Wanyan Honglie has given up on me. It's useless even if you catch me."

System: [Why did he say that?]

Xue Chen: [He is afraid of becoming Ximen Chuxue. 】

The system thought for a long time before realizing that Yang Kang was afraid of becoming a hostage.

System: [Your joke is meaningless! ]

Xue Chen: [Oh. ]

At this moment, Yun Heyan looked gorgeous and cold, like a ghost in the night, unkind, but attractive enough.

He said: "The Jin people have exploited the common people, causing countless families to be broken up and the people of Xingguo wish they could eat their flesh alive. Even if you are not a little prince and have enjoyed yourself in Prince Zhao's mansion for many years, you are not an innocent person. It is still okay to hand you over to Ling Chi to vent his anger and appease the people's resentment."

Yang Kang's eyes widened, and he couldn't believe that he could hear such words from his mouth. His voice trembled, and he said fiercely: "You dare! If you really do this, Brother Liu will not let you go!"
