"The Eleventh Prince, you are really omnipresent." Yuchi Pingting said calmly, but she had already begun to mutter in her heart. She did not expect that the Eleventh Prince would come so quickly. This person has always had a grudge against her. I am afraid that today she wants to kill him all over.
Retreating is already impossible, but Mo Mo, what should I do?
Yuchi Pingting had already thought about letting Huangfu Qingyuan go. When facing the eleventh prince, they should unite.
"It seems that I gained a lot today." The eleventh prince Lian Sheng looked overjoyed: "Even the orphan of Long Night was caught by me so easily. Well, Long Night City now rewards the former prince.
How much gold is there? Haha, but no matter how much it is, it doesn’t seem to be as much as the gold and silver treasures here.”
The eleventh prince seemed to be a hunter who took advantage of the situation. He easily caught the person he wanted to catch without using any troops, and there was such a huge wealth in front of him. Who could not be excited? With this,
With the money, he can expand his team
Wu, recruit troops and buy horses. He doesn't even have to deliberately please his father and the Manchu civil and military forces. All he has to do is send his army south, force the palace, and become the legitimate emperor of Liang. With the military tactics of the previous dynasty, he can capture
Daliao is also just around the corner.
The Eleventh Prince seemed to have seen himself standing in the high position of the Ninth Five Emperors looking at his world, and he couldn't help but feel excited.
The eleventh prince walked up to Feng Qingyu in person, and then took two books from Mo Mo's hands. In his eyes, these were no longer ordinary military books, but his cavalry and his world.
"Come here, tie up all these people and bring them back to the camp. Also, bring all the gold and silver out for me." The eleventh prince ordered to the people around him.
"Yes." Left and right took orders to kidnap people.
At this time, several people in the crowd behind the Eleventh Prince went to move things.
When one of them passed by the Eleventh Prince, he suddenly revealed a dagger from his sleeve, and with lightning speed, he put the bright dagger on the Eleventh Prince's throat.
The eleventh prince was startled and quickly turned around to look.
"Don't move!" The person next to his ear had a low voice, but it was Nangong Feiran.
At this time, another person walked out from the eleventh prince's team and took off the hat on his head. It was the elegant Yi Xiaoyao.
This sudden change made the Eleventh Prince's people confused for a moment, but those who reacted immediately hurriedly surrounded Nangong Feiran.
"If you don't want to die, let them all retreat." Nangong Feiran said coldly in the ears of the eleventh prince, but the dagger in his hand seemed to add more force.
The eleventh prince angrily said "Get out of here" and then said to Nan Gong Feiran: "Nangong Feiran, I am still a prince now, what you do is a treason."
"Yes, the eleventh prince, you are a prince, so I want to take you back to the palace to wait for the emperor to punish you." Nangong Feiran said: "But don't forget, how did you kill the second prince and the fourth prince? Landslide? Hmm
?snort."
The eleventh prince was shocked and said, "Nangong Feiran, what exactly do you want to say?"
"It's nothing, I'm just warning you not to play tricks. Those things you did, huh, I have all the evidence in my hands."
The eleventh prince was horrified and said: "Nangong Feiran, let me live. Take all the things here. You have to know that I have 30,000 troops. I'm afraid it won't be easy for you to escape unscathed, so it's not as good as us."
Let's just make a deal." The Eleventh Prince's tone had softened a lot.
"Humph, escape unharmed? I never thought about it, and don't fantasize about it anymore. Aren't you the best at planning landslides? Aren't you the best at using explosives!" Nangong Feiran said in the ear of the Eleventh Prince: "You
I have already arranged all these things, if you dare to play tricks, then we will perish together."
Nangong Feiran held the Eleventh Prince hostage and retreated step by step, but he had no idea in his heart. He knew that the Eleventh Prince was full of explosives here, but he only found one place, and there were several others. He didn't know. What if the Eleventh Prince was full of explosives?
The prince wanted to fight him to the death and signaled his men to light the explosives, so he might not be able to get out of here again.
The group had just exited the hall when suddenly a voice came from the crowd, "Run, there are explosives." Suddenly the crowd began to become confused.
Suddenly, the crowd started to commotion. People kept rushing out in a hurry.
Yuchi Pingting was concerned about Mo Mo and hurriedly grabbed Feng Qingyu and ran outside. However, the Eleventh Prince's men were so numerous that they rushed out like a flood. The force of thousands of troops and horses surged out.
It was getting out of control, and this narrow mountain road could not accommodate so many people.
Suddenly, the painful sound of being trampled on in a panic, all kinds of yelling, and various voices came. Nangong Feiran was hit by several people a few times. After that, the eleventh prince also took the opportunity to run away. Nangong Feiran looked at the eleventh prince.
The prince's figure was gradually submerged in the crowd, and Yuchi Pingting also had some difficulty walking in the crowd with Mo Mo in her arms, so she hurriedly stepped forward to protect Yuchi Pingting as she walked out.
Suddenly, a dull explosion came from the main hall deep in the cave.
While Nangong Feiran was protecting Yuchi Pingting when she went out, she was thinking secretly about who set off the explosives and what their intentions were.
But he had no time to think so much. The Eleventh Prince had buried a lot of explosives in Beiwu Mountain, and it was really not a safe place.
When the flow of people came from the cave ###, the Eleventh Prince had completely disappeared, and his troops had been defeated and were fleeing in all directions.
Behind him, explosions were heard, each one louder than the last. Nangong Feiran took Mo Mo from Yuchi Pingting's arms, holding Yuchi Pingting with one hand and ran quickly down the mountain.
At Yong'an Pass, Nangong Feiran and Jin Dacheng stood on the tower. In front of them, a spy was reporting to them the tragic situation on the Nanhua Road in Beiwu Mountain.
"The top of the mountain has collapsed and is now in ruins," the spy reported.
"Is it still possible to go in?" Nangong Feiran asked.
"We're trying, but it's probably unlikely."
"Commander Jin, you must be more careful these days. I must go back and report to the emperor as soon as possible. You must be careful of the eleventh prince's death struggle." Nangong Feiran ordered.
"Yes, I will pay strict attention to it in the future, and I will not let that guy succeed." Jin Dacheng said.
Nangong Feiran and his party did not stop any longer. The eleventh prince had a small army, which was like a time bomb buried outside Yongan Pass. The most important thing was that he was still a prince, so he had to go to Beijing as soon as possible to face the saint.
Send troops to quell the chaos.
A group of five people and five horses galloped along the official road.
"How on earth did you sneak into the Eleventh Prince's men?" Yuchi Pingting asked.
It turned out that after Nangong Feiran and Yi Xiaoyao came down the mountain, they discovered the Eleventh Prince's camp not far away. He took the opportunity to sneak in, but unexpectedly found out that there were correspondence between the Eleventh Prince and the Liao Kingdom. Those
The letter is enough to prove that the eleventh prince secretly communicated with the Liao Kingdom and attempted to rebel.
What surprised him even more was that he found the eleventh prince's notes over the years, which clearly recorded that he had designed the landslide and caused the deaths of the second and fourth princes. But it was that time that made the emperor angry with him.
Although his father won the battle, he was displeased by the emperor and died in hatred.
It turns out that all of this was caused by the eleventh prince. Nangong Feiran suddenly felt that the eleventh prince was less human than he thought. In order to get the throne, he would not hesitate to kill other brothers.
At this time, at the foot of Beiwu Mountain, Huangfu Qingyuan was sitting in front of a newly raised grave, silent and with red eyes.
Ji Boguang knelt in front of the grave, muttering something.
As for this new tomb, the tombstone is just a wooden board with the six characters "Tomb of Jin Gong Nanfeng" written on it with black charcoal dragons and flying phoenixes.
It turned out that when the main hall collapsed, Jin Nanfeng was crushed under a boulder in order to save Huangfu Qingyuan. Huangfu Qingyuan and Ji Boguang carried out Jin Nanfeng's body in a panic, but it had become a bloody mess.
.
Huangfu Qingyuan raised the wine bottle in his hand and poured it slowly in front of the monument. He sighed deeply and said, "Boguang, your hometown still has property in Haining. Go back. You don't have to follow me anymore."
"Lord, Boguang will not leave you. I will accompany you until the great cause of restoring the country is completed." Ji Boguang said sadly and angrily.
"Restore the country? Haha..." Huangfu Qingyuan said with a bitter smile: "It's God's will. Restoring the country is not easy. And I am already tired..." Huangfu Qingyuan's tone revealed infinite fatigue.
Jin Nanfeng was a Longye nobleman and a martial arts master when he was alive, but he died like this. After his death, he only had this place to bury his bones, not even a coffin, not even a decent tombstone. However, even if he had a tomb comparable to that of an emperor,
What can happen to the tombs of the people? People are dead and sleeping forever. What should people do in this life? Huangfu Qingyuan is very confused.
He didn't know whether it was right to choose the uncertain road of rejuvenating the country, or whether he could give up the responsibilities imposed on him by others and be his true self. He didn't know, he was just tired.
Huangfu Qingyuan stood up and stumbled forward, waving to Ji Boguang: "Boguang, don't follow me anymore. Go back and live the life you want..."
The city of Luoyang is still as prosperous as ever.
Nangong Feiran didn't bother to return home and rushed straight to the palace.
In the imperial study room, the emperor slapped the letter that Nangong Feiran had given him on the table, trembling uncontrollably: "Beast, beast!" The old emperor was heartbroken. His favorite son was also killed by him.
His own son was killed...
He is the king of a country, but his son has done such a morally corrupt and crazy thing. If his son is like this, who else can be trusted in the future?
Seeing that the emperor's face turned purple with anger and he couldn't say a word for a long time, the eighth prince quickly stepped forward to comfort him: "Father, please calm down and take care of your dragon body."
After a long while, the emperor said: "That's all, that's all, Nangong Feiran, I will handle this matter, but I have something to ask you. Will you agree to your marriage to Princess Zixuan?"
"Your Majesty, I will forgive you for not obeying your orders!" Nangong Feiran said firmly.
"Nangong Feiran, you are so bold!" the emperor shouted angrily. His precious daughter has mentioned this matter to him several times in the past few days. Her daughter now has such a request. How can he not even satisfy her daughter's request? He is so precious.
How can the emperor, who is the king of a country, have any dignity?
"Come here, take Nangong Feiran under arrest and behead him tomorrow afternoon. I don't need such a general who resists orders and disrespects his orders."
Nangong Feiran didn't say anything, but let the guards who came in take him down. He was very sure that even if he died, he would not help Yu Chi Pingting.
"Father..." The Eighth Prince quickly knelt on the ground, trying to absolve Nangong Feiran. He did not expect that the Emperor would be so furious at this moment.
"You don't need to say more, you go down as well. I really don't want to see anyone. I want to be alone for a while." The emperor interrupted the eighth prince, and then waved his hand to signal him to leave.
In Prince Hui's Mansion, Yi Xiaoyao and Feng Qingyu were accompanying Yuchi Pingting.
"Boss, I have a surprise for you." Yi Xiaoyao said, with a look of joy on his face.
"What surprise can you have?" Yuchi Pingting asked nonchalantly.
"Well, boss, your tone makes me more convinced that this next thing will give you endless surprises." Yi Xiaoyao said and took out a small package from his arms.
Yi Xiaoyao put the package on the table.
"What is this?" Mo Mo asked curiously, then reached out to open the package. Inside was a small mahogany box.
"This box is quite valuable." Feng Qingyu took a look and said.
"The things inside are more valuable!" Yi Xiaoyao returned.
"Let me take a look!" Mo Mo said and opened the box. Suddenly, a strange light came out, but it returned to normal in an instant.
Yuchi Pingting and Feng Qingyu stared at the contents of the box with their eyes wide open in surprise. They saw a toad-sized thing lying quietly in the box, crystal clear and cold.
"Xiaoyao, where did you get it?" Yuchi Pingting asked, she still couldn't believe that what was in front of her was the ice and fire jade toad that she wanted.
"It's in the secret passage where the book is kept. Mo Mo just took out the book, but didn't find this treasure in the crack of the stone. I also saw it accidentally. I thought it was some kind of treasure, but it turned out that this thing was right.
I have no use...here, so I give it to you." Yi Xiaoyao said, pushing the box in front of Yuchi Pingting.
"Xiaoyao, tell me what kind of treasure you want, what kind of treasure I can give you!" Yuchi Pingting was so excited that she couldn't be more excited...
"Qingyu, the next task will be left to you." Yuchi Pingting said to Feng Qingyu.
Feng Qingyu was gearing up and eager to give it a try: "I have already prepared the other materials, just waiting for this. Boss, don't worry, our little Momo will live a long life, haha!"
"Ahem, there's General Nangong!" Yi Xiaoyao said with a dry cough.
The three of them were chatting and laughing, having a great time.
At this moment, Nangong Feiqing hurried over.
"Oh no, something big happened!" Nangong Feiqing said from a distance after seeing them.
"What's wrong?" Yuchi Pingting asked, and immediately put away her smiling face. In her impression, Nangong Feiqing has always been calm and gentle. If he didn't encounter something big, he would never do it.
So panicked.
"Feiran has been thrown into death row by the emperor and will be beheaded in public at noon tomorrow!"
A bolt from the blue, definitely a big bolt from the blue.
"This? This makes no sense!" Yi Xiaoyao said, extremely surprised: "The rebel is the Eleventh Prince, what does it have to do with General Nangong?"
"The emperor has sent people to deal with the eleventh prince. The emperor granted marriage to Feiran and Princess Zixuan. However, Feiran resisted the decree in court and was punished by the emperor for resisting the decree and being disrespectful. What should we do!
"Nangong Feiqing was as anxious as ants on a hot pot.
"Kill him if he doesn't comply with the marriage offer? Such an emperor is so inhumane, no wonder he has such an inhumane son!" Feng Qingyu cursed, her eyebrows raised high.
Nangong Feiqing hurriedly stopped her and said, "Miss Qingyu, you can't say such things casually!"
"What, did I say something wrong? Humph." Feng Qingyu said unconvinced.
"It's really over now. Apart from agreeing to the marriage, Feiran has no way to escape." Nangong Feiqing said.
"But she won't agree." Yuchi Pingting said. If Nangong Feiran would agree, he would not have brought the matter to this point if he had agreed early. It is simply impossible for the emperor to threaten him with death.
Nangong Feiqing speculated on Yuchi Pingting's words. After a long while, he slumped down at the table and said, "Yes, he can't agree." He knew his brother's temper. If he would agree, he would do it from the beginning.
If he agrees, and the emperor really does this, he will be less willing to agree. However, if he does not agree, this means that his brother will only die.
"Brother, don't worry, we won't stand idly by," Yuchi Pingting said.
"What do you think? Could it be..." Nangong Feiqing said and covered her mouth.
Yuchi Pingting did not answer, but just said: "Go to the Tianlao to take care of things, just in case someone wants to add insult to injury and encounter an accident at this time, and it seems that it is time to take action." Yuchi Pingting said calmly.
"Okay, I'll do it right away." Nangong Feiqing said as he stood up and walked out. Before leaving, he glanced at Yuchi Pingting again. Yuchi Pingting's eyes clearly showed concern for Nangong Feiran, but how could she?
So calm, so calm.
"Boss, it seems we have something to do again." Yi Xiaoyao said, with a smile on his lips.
"Xiaoyao, go inform everyone and get ready. Listen to my arrangements tomorrow. Qingyu, you go and plan the escape route. I want to be able to escape unscathed and don't want to cause too much trouble."
"Yes." Yi Xiaoyao said to Feng Qingyu, then started his footwork and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Caishikou was already crowded with people. I heard that the person who was going to be executed today was the youngest and most promising general in Daliang. I heard that he had offended the emperor because he had promised his wife not to remarry, so he rebelled. I heard...
The prison officer looked at the time, and then said loudly: "Noon has arrived, the execution will be carried out!"
Nangong Feiran smiled and looked at a person in the crowd calmly. It was for this person that he had given up his life a long time ago. Now, it was just for her to die again. It didn't matter if he died once. The important thing was that she could see it.
If she could understand his feelings for her, he would die a worthy death.
The executioner raised the steel knife in his hand, and the blade shone brightly in the sunlight.
"Ah!" the executioner shouted, and at the same time the knife in his hand fell rapidly.
This is the end of his life, Nangong Feiran thought, but he felt very satisfied. When he was young, his dream was to gallop on the battlefield and become a god of war that awes his enemies. He did it. He used his young life to compose the battlefield myth.
.
And now, he finally knows what the happiest thing in life is. Unfortunately, he knows it too late, but he has no regrets.
Nangong Feiran gradually closed his eyes, but the smile on his face always appeared. That smile was so satisfied and so calm.
Suddenly, a cold arrow flew from nowhere and pierced the executioner's arm.
With a clang, the steel knife fell to the ground.
The supervisor hurriedly stood up and was about to ask what was going on when he saw burning trolleys rolling towards the crowd from four directions.
Suddenly, the crowd was in chaos, and at the same time, a dozen black-clad and masked people emerged from the crowd and from the teahouses on both sides of the road and went straight to the execution site.
The soldiers who came to stop them couldn't stop these people at all, and their formation was completely disrupted by these people after a few moves.
"General Nangong, are you ready?" Yuchi Pingting stood in front of Nangong Feiran and asked with a smile.
"Always obey Madam's orders." Nangong Feiran also said with a smile. He knew what the price was for Yuchi Pingting to come to rescue him. But at this time, Yuchi Pingting was just like Nangong Feiran who was resisting the imperial decree in the imperial study room and didn't care about the price at all.
