Chapter 613: Yuwen Sinong, it's time for you to make a choice
Yang Wenqian, dressed in military uniform, was sitting in the hall of the General Administration Office in Gyeongju City, holding his forehead with one hand and frowning.
According to his prediction, he should have collected enough food and grass in one or two days, and then quickly sent out troops to surround Renzhi Palace before the Tang Dynasty could react, rescued Prince Jiancheng, and forced Li Yuan to pass the throne.
, and then ordered the twelve guards on the left and right in the name of the new monarch to settle in Chang'an, and finally spread the word to the world, announcing that King Qin was a rebel...
But I didn’t expect that things would go wrong from the beginning!
First, the team sent out to collect food and grass nearby worked for several days, but failed to collect enough food and grass. Then when he couldn't wait any longer and planned to send troops directly to Renzhi Palace, another message came from Chang'an Road and Wannian Road.
The news that the Flag Army and the Flag Drum Army have been assembled and set off under the leadership of Princess Pingyang...
As a result, the perfect plan he had worked so hard to come up with was aborted before it even started!
Now that his way to serve the country loyally was blocked, he had no choice but to think of a way out, which was to contact the Turks to go south, use the Turks to gain their own weight, and then intimidate Guanzhong. If he retreated, he could retreat to the Turks.
sweat.
As a result, he sent several groups of people northward to contact the Turks, but nothing happened. Now Princess Pingyang has led her troops to the city, and she has not yet contacted the Turks.
These damn Turks are too procrastinating in doing things!
"Brother Yang..."
Yu Wenying stood opposite Yang Wenqian and said cautiously.
"How about we surrender? When the time comes, my foolish brother will speak to you in front of the saint, saying that you were imprisoned because of the prince, so you got angry and said some inappropriate words. In fact, you didn't really want to rebel.
…”
boom!
Yang Wenqian slapped his palm on the table and shouted sharply.
"Zhongliang, what are you talking about? Since I have said that I want to oust you, how can Li Yuan tolerate me? Surrendering now is no different than death."
"But……"
After seeing Yang Wenqian's rage, Yu Wenying was immediately frightened and trembled.
"Brother Yang, the number of people under the city is at least twice that of the garrison in Qingzhou, and Princess Pingyang is a master of troops. You will definitely not be able to defeat her."
“You have to fight even if you can’t win!”
Yang Wenqian gritted his teeth and said.
"No matter what, I must..."
Before Yang Wenqian could finish speaking, they heard a clanking sound and noisy footsteps coming from outside the hall. Then the two of them saw a fully armed young man with a group of soldiers.
He rushed in from the lobby door.
Yang Wenqian glanced around and found that the man who came in was actually his confidant in the Qingzhou Army.
"Ding Dezhou, didn't I ask you to lead the team to defend the city..."
He slammed the table and shouted sternly to a young man who was leading the team.
"You ignored a certain general's order and broke into a certain person's mansion with your soldiers. Are you trying to rebel?"
"Yang Wenqian!"
The young man raised the sword in his hand and looked at him with a half-smile.
"It seems that you are the one who rebelled, right? Our Qingzhou Army is a loyal minister of the Tang Dynasty. How could we obey the orders of a traitor like you? I was just obeying the orders of Angel Yuwen with you."
With that said, the young man looked at Yu Wenying again.
"Angel Yuwen, come here quickly. Now that we have taken control of the entire Qingzhou, you don't need to risk yourself here to attract Yang Wenqian's attention..."
"What?"
Before the young man finished speaking, Yang Wenqian stood up in an instant, grabbed Yu Wenying's clothes a few inches away, and then pulled out the straight knife on the wall next to him with a swipe.
"Zhongliang, I treat you sincerely, but you dare to betray me..."
"Brother Yang..."
Yu Wenying, who looked confused, looked at Yang Wenqian's twisted face in front of her and felt her calves spinning.
"We have something to discuss, please put the knife down first."
"You actually want me to put down my weapons and let you slaughter me?"
A ferocious look flashed across Yang Wenqian's face, and he swung the straight knife in his hand and stabbed Yu Wenying in the body.
"If you want to kill me, you should die first..."
when!
At this critical moment, there was only a crisp sound, and the straight-edged sword stabbed by Yu Wenying was swung away by Ding Deyi who caught up with him. Instead of stabbing Yu Wenying in the stomach, it slashed along his thigh.
A long gash was opened on him, and blood flowed profusely.
"ah!"
After Yu Wenying screamed, her feet gave way and her body fell to the ground.
Dangdangdang...
Yang Wengan held a straight blade in his hand and after sword-fighting with Ding Dezhou several times, he realized that the soldiers brought by the other party had also killed his guards in the hall and surrounded them.
"Here, catch him!"
Under Ding Dezhou's order, these soldiers swarmed forward in an instant, pressed Yang Wenqian to the ground, and tied him up directly.
"Yuwen Angel..."
After Ding Dezhou saw that Yang Wenqian had been captured, he turned around and walked to Yu Wenying, who was still moaning in pain on the ground.
"Now that Yang Wenqian has been captured, we will ask the angels to come forward to negotiate with Princess Pingyang to save our lives."
"What did you say?"
Yu Wenying looked at Ding Dezhou in confusion.
"I don't understand something..."
"Ding Dezhou!"
The next moment, a voice came from outside the door, and then Zhang Liang, who had changed into a smart outfit, stepped in and waved to Ding Dezhou.
"First take people to clear out those Yang Wenqian's cronies in the General Manager's Mansion. Rong Mou has a word with Angel Yuwen."
"yes!"
Ding Dezhou crossed his hands and saluted, agreed, and then rushed out from the back door of the hall with his soldiers.
"Yuwen Sinong..."
Zhang Liang walked to Yu Wenying's side, looked down at his injuries, then squatted down, picked up Yu Wenying's robe, and tore it off at the spot where Yang Wenqian's knife had scratched him.
"Your old friend from Xia County asked me to say hello to you!"
"An old friend from Xia County?"
After hearing these words, Yu Wenying was immediately speechless.
"You...you are actually..."
"Shh!"
Zhang Liang raised his index finger, making a silent gesture with his mouth, and then pushed up Yu Wenying's leg with one hand.
"Yuwen Sinong, hold it with your hands... That's right! That's it..."
After Yu Wenying clumsily supported his injured leg with his hands, Zhang Liang very neatly began to bandage his leg injury with the clothes Yu Wenying tore off.
"so……"
As the pain in her legs subsided, Yu Wenying's IQ once again occupied the high ground.
"Are you responsible for all these things in Gyeongju?"
After hearing Yu Wenying's words, Zhang Liang glanced at Yu Wenying with a half-smile, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and a golden light appeared.
"Yuwen Sinong, please don't slander me. Isn't it that the reason Yang Wenqian rebelled was because you revealed to him that His Majesty Li Yuan was going to sacrifice him to save the crown prince and let him do the second Kakashi?"
"good!"
Yang Wenqian, who was tied up with five flowers, also stared at Yu Wenying with a pair of eyes.
"Obviously you were the one who incited me to rebel, but in the end you turned out to be two-faced..."
"What, it's someone..."
Yu Wenying looked confused, and felt that her mind, which had some features, had become a mess again.
Could it be that……
Did someone really instigate Yang Wen's rebellion without even knowing it?
"As for why someone is here..."
Zhang Liang used both hands to tie the last knot on the wound on Yang Wenqian's leg.
"It's okay to tell Yuwen Sinong that someone was ordered to come here to find out whether Yang Wenqian had embezzled military pay and secretly smuggled weapons to the Turks. As a result, he happened to rebel, so in order to protect himself, he had to do something
Something happened."
After hearing Zhang Liang's words, both Yu Wenying and Yang Wenqian on the side nodded and accepted the explanation without any dispute.
"But..."
Zhang Liang opened his mouth again and said in that special tone.
"Yuwen Sinong, you also know that the saint is very suspicious. If he knows that there is someone here in Qingzhou, he will inevitably think more about it. As the saying goes, it is better to do less than to do more. In addition, Yuwen Sinong
You also made a good impression on others when you were in Xia County, so your old friend asked someone to give this credit to you..."
"Give me the credit..."
After hearing Zhang Liang's words, Yu Wenying suddenly opened her mouth and asked in surprise.
"Why?"
"First of all, naturally you need this credit now..."
Zhang Liang clapped his hands and signaled Yu Wenying to put down the leg that had stopped bleeding.
"After all, Yuwen Sinong, you also know that the saint asked you to come to Qingzhou so that you could trick Yang Wenqian into going to Renzhi Palace to take the blame for Prince Jiancheng. As a result, when you came here, Yang Wenqian rebelled. To put it mildly,
It's you who failed the Holy Grace. To put it more broadly, it means that you have ulterior motives. No matter what the reason is, you are unforgivable."
Yu Wenying opened her mouth again, feeling a little stuttered.
"this and that……"
"Secondly, your old friend also knows what King Yuanji of Qi told you before you came here."
Zhang Liang's face showed an expression of having everything under control, and he said in a deep voice.
"If this matter is exposed at this time, what kind of fate do you think the saint will give you?"
After hearing his words, Yu Wenying suddenly felt weak and sweat appeared on her forehead.
"Hahaha……"
Yang Wenqian on the side suddenly laughed.
"It turns out that Zhongliang, you were following the order of King Qi when you tricked me into rebelling. Just wait. When I am escorted to Renzhi Palace to see you, I will tell you everything."
Zhang Liang turned around, glanced at Yang Wenqian somewhat mockingly, then lowered his head and spoke to Yu Wenying in a soft tone.
"Do you understand? Yuwen Sinong, you are now facing a cliff of ten thousand feet, and a step back is a dragon's pool and a tiger's den. There is only one person in the world who can save you, and you are very lucky, because this person is willing to look at the kindness of Xia County in the past
Save you!"
After hearing what Zhang Liang said, Yu Wenying gritted her teeth and agreed without hesitation.
"Okay! I have agreed. Tell me, what does your old friend want you to do?"
“It’s easy!”
Zhang Liang leaned down and helped Yu Wenying up with both hands.
"Just to shirk the responsibility, for example..."
Zhang Liang turned his head and glanced at Yang Wenqian next to him.
"What is the reason for the rebellion? Is it because Yang Wenqian and the prince have long decided to rebel, and now they are exposed by Er Zhuhuan, Qiao Gongshan and others, and they have to take a preemptive strike? Or is it because you, Yuwen Sinong, were instructed by the King of Qi to come over and say something you shouldn't say?
, was discovered by Yang Wenqian, and then prompted him to rebel?"
With that said, Zhang Liang picked up the straight-edged sword that Yang Wenqian had dropped from the ground and stuffed it into Yu Wenying's hand.
"Yuwen Sinong, now it's time for you to make a choice!"
…
Ten minutes later, Kong Qing, who was in Yunzhong City, looked at a ghost that had smuggled in again from the list of gods, with a confused look on his face.
"Master of the Conferred Gods List, have your standards been lowered? How come someone like Yang Wenqian can be on the list?"
