Seeing that Fu An had already engaged Guan Ying, Liu Xiu waved to the surrounding Yulin guards. With Liu Xiu's instruction, the Yulin guards all stepped forward and launched a siege on Guan Ying's men.
More than a dozen men in black had already been killed or injured by the Yulin Guards’ arrows. How could the remaining few be the opponents of the Yulin Guards? Not long after the battle between the two sides, all Guan Ying’s men fell to the ground.
Not a single person was left alive.
The four dead men were bent on putting themselves to death, and Liu Xiu would never be merciful to people like them.
Soon, only Fu An and Guan Ying were left fighting alone on the scene. Even the bodies of the four dead soldiers were carried away by the Yulin Guards and thrown into the grassland.
In terms of strength, Guan Ying is slightly better than Fu An, but now Guan Ying is not using a handy weapon. The most important point is that he is injured and the rotation of his neck is greatly restricted. This is also a huge problem.
It affected his performance.
But even so, Guan Ying and Fu An were still fighting inextricably, and the winner could not be determined in a short period of time.
The two of them fought back and forth for nearly a hundred rounds, but there was still no difference. However, at this time, Guan Ying's physical strength gradually began to fail him. His moves were not as sharp as they were at the beginning, and his movements were also slower.
A lot.
Seeing this, Fu An stepped up his offensive. A short sword flew up and down in his hand, with every move aiming to kill someone.
Guan Ying was forced back by Fu An's attack. Just when people thought Guan Ying could not hold on for much longer, Fu An swept his sword across Guan Ying's neck.
The latter leaned back and took a step back. Fu An followed up with an arrow step and kicked Guan Ying across the cheek.
Guan Ying leaned back and fell directly to the ground, dodging Fu An's attack. At the same time, he rolled backwards. At this time, he was forced by Fu An to the edge of the Yulin Guards crowd.
He rolled backwards and hit the calf of a Habayashi guard.
Before the Yulin Guard had time to react, Guan Ying, who was lying on the ground, jumped up from the ground like a spring and thrust his sword into the chest of the Yulin Guard.
The Yulin Guard screamed, and before he fell to the ground, Guan Ying took the lead and pushed him forward, knocking down a large group of the Yulin Guards behind him.
Before the people who had fallen to the ground could get up from the ground, Guan Ying swung around and rushed out of the crowd. He knew in his heart that he had no chance of winning in today's situation, and the only thing he could do was to find an opportunity to break out.
Just when he was about to break out of the Yulin Guards' encirclement, a sword stabbed at him diagonally, Liu Xiu's Red Sky Sword.
Guan Ying gave a loud shout and raised the sword in his hand. Hearing a clang, Liu Xiu's sword bounced away. He struck back with his sword and slashed Liu Xiu's neck. Liu Xiu immediately put the sword away and blocked it from his body.
forward.
Bang! The collision between swords caused a harsh golden sound. Liu Xiu’s feet touched the ground and he slid back half a meter. Due to the force of the shock, Guan Ying took a step back involuntarily.
When the two of them fought against each other for the first time, Liu Xiu's strength was completely incomparable to his, but now, Liu Xiu's strength is on par with him.
Liu Xiu was so weird and terrifying! Guan Ying took a deep breath, cheered up, and with a swish of breath, he stabbed Liu Xiu eight times in a row. These eight lightning-fast swords did not force Liu Xiu to take a step back.
.
The latter held the sword in one hand and blocked up and down. With a series of clanking sounds, Liu Xiu's face was not red, and she blocked all eight swords that Guan Ying thrust out with all her strength. This time, Guan Ying was stunned.
They couldn't help but feel horrified.
Before he had time to react, Fu An had already come up from behind to kill him. His dagger drew a long streak of lightning in the air and stabbed him viciously at the back of his neck.
Hearing that there was evil behind him, Guan Ying was about to dodge, but Liu Xiu, who was directly in front of him, stabbed him lightly with a sword.
This sword was not very fast and looked plain and simple. Guan Ying did not think about it and subconsciously swung his sword to block.
When the two swords collided together again, Guan Ying suddenly felt that Liu Xiu's seemingly ordinary sword had a great deal of force in it. Not only did his sword fail to block it, but it actually
It was bounced away.
Guan Ying took a breath, and now it was too late to dodge. He could only bite the bullet and retreat. His retreat was to avoid Liu Xiu's killer move, but he hit Fu An firmly.
The killing move.
A popping sound was heard in the helix of the ear, and Fu An's dagger penetrated Guan Ying's back of the neck, and the blade of the sword came out in front of his throat.
Guan Ying's body stiffened suddenly, and then, his eyes widened, he roared, and swung his sword to sweep around him.
Sha! A ring of cold light suddenly appeared around him. Liu Xiu and Fu An reacted in the same way. They jumped back together to dodge Guan Ying's fatal blow before his death.
He forced Liu Xiu and Fu An back with one sword, and when he looked after Guan Ying again, his neck was already bleeding profusely.
He opened his mouth wide, trying to inhale, but it seemed that the breath could not be taken into his lungs at all, and there was a tearing and tearing sound in his throat.
He raised his sword high and rushed towards Liu Xiu. Liu Xiu kicked his feet on the ground and fell back three or four meters away.
Guan Ying slashed in the air with his sword. He grinned, gritted his teeth, and waved his arm outward. The sword in his palm flew away and went straight to Liu Xiu's chest.
The latter raised the Red Sky Sword outwards lightly, and with a clang, the flying sword swirled and flew out diagonally.
Seeing Liu Xiu safe and sound on the opposite side, Guan Ying felt unwilling and angry, but was unable to make any further pursuit.
His body swayed a few times, and then he knelt down on the ground with a pop. The blood flowing from his throat soaked the clothes on his chest red.
Seeing that Guan Ying had fallen, the Yulin guards around him rushed forward, holding their swords high, slashing and stabbing at Guan Ying's body.
In the blink of an eye, the tube baby was no longer visible at the scene and was completely overwhelmed by the crowd. However, in the center of the crowd, blood mist sprayed out from time to time.
A Yulin guard squeezed out from the crowd, holding a bloody severed head in his hand. He came to Liu Xiu like a treasure, held the severed head in both hands, and said with an emotional trembling: "Your Majesty! No matter what.
The leader of Ying's thieves is here!"
Liu Xiu glanced at it and waved outward.
Guan Ying, one of the leaders of Si'a and one of the instructors, eventually died tragically at Taihang Xing in the Taihang Mountains. The main purpose of his being ordered to come to the Taihang Mountains this time was to assassinate Liu Xiu. As a result, not only did he fail to assassinate Liu Xiu, but he also hooked up with Liu Xiu.
took his own life.
Guan Ying's death was definitely an extremely heavy blow to Si'a, and it also greatly suppressed Si'a's arrogance.
This time Liu Xiu went to the Taihang Mountains to quell the bandits. Although the process was tortuous, he finally succeeded in annihilating the branch of the Red Eyebrow Army hiding in the Taihang Mountains. This successfully eliminated a major scourge for the towns around Taihang.
Jia Fu and Kou Xun had different opinions on how to deal with the surrendered Red Eyebrow Army, and the dispute finally came to Liu Xiu. After repeated consideration, Liu Xiu accepted Kou Xun's opinion and did not kill them.
Those who are willing to go home will be released. If they are unwilling to go home and want to stay in the Han army, Kou Xun can make arrangements.
There were more than 7,000 Red Eyebrow troops who surrendered, but only more than 2,000 of them chose to go home. The remaining 5,000 people all went to Kou Xun's command.
Among the Red Eyebrow Army, the person they admired more was Kou Xun, and they were willing to work under him.
In this regard, Liu Xiu was happy to see the success, but Jia Fu felt a knot in his heart.
He said he would use fire attack, but Kou Xun stood up to oppose him. He wanted to execute the red-browed prisoners, but Kou Xun stood up to stop him. In his opinion, Kou Xun was at odds with him.
In fact, Jia Fu really misunderstood Kou Xun. Kou Xun always dealt with the situation and the person. Even if the person who proposed the fire attack was Liu Xiu, he would stand up and oppose it. Even if Liu Xiu wanted to execute the red-browed prisoner, he would not do it.
Will remonstrate and block it.
After quelling the red eyebrow bandits in Taihang, Liu Xiu retreated to Luoyang. Wang Liang temporarily stayed in the Taihang area to further eliminate the remaining bandits and pacify the towns around Taihang.
After Liu Xiu returned to Luoyang, within a few days, Xu Xiling was canonized as a beauty. Xu Xiling had followed Liu Xiu for so long, and it was only now that her dreams came true and she finally got ahead. From this moment on, she was no longer Liu Xiu's.
Instead, he became one of Liu Xiu's concubines.
Xu Xiling's rise to the top was completely expected by Yin Lihua.
Xu Xiling was already by her husband's side when he first got into trouble, and she won her husband's trust. Moreover, Xu Xiling has always been quite scheming. As long as she has the ambition to rise to the top, she will surely find a suitable opportunity. yyls
Facts have proved that this is indeed the case. Liu Xiu's trip to Taihang Mountain to quell the thieves also helped Xu Xiling rise to the top.
Guo Shengtong was very angry about this matter. She had always treated Xu Xiling as a subordinate. It was a taboo for a subordinate to climb into his master's bed. Guo Shengtong felt that he had been humiliated by Xu Xiling.
Xu Xiling was canonized as a beauty and had her own palace. On the same day, Yin Lihua came to congratulate her and brought a piece of exquisite jewelry as a gift.
Xu Xiling personally welcomed Yin Lihua out of the courtyard. When he saw Yin Lihua, he bowed and said, "Xiling has met Yin Guihua!"
Yin Lihua smiled, waved her hand and said, "Beautiful Xu, you don't need to be polite!"
Xu Xiling invited Yin Lihua into his palace.
Compared with Guo Shengtong's Changqiu Palace and Yin Lihua's West Palace, Xu Xiling's Phoenix Palace is smaller. However, although it is small, it has all the internal organs. There are courtyards and gardens in the palace, which are pleasing to the eye, clean and elegant.
What she liked most about the Phoenix Palace was that to the south of it was the Qingliang Palace, which was Liu Xiu's favorite place to work.
Compared with Changqiu Palace and West Palace, Phoenix Palace is very close to Qingliang Palace. Living here, as long as you are willing, you can often 'encounter' Liu Xiu.
Xu Xiling disapproved of Guo Shengtong who was canonized as queen.
So what if you become the queen? How many times can your majesty go to her Changqiu Palace in a month? You can count them on five fingers. If you can't see the emperor, you won't get favors, and if you have a post, you are just a person.
Just a false name.
Walking in the courtyard of Phoenix Palace, Xu Xiling said with a smile: "Xiling's place is more noble than Yin Guiren's West Palace, everything is still very simple!"
Yin Lihua smiled and said: "I think Xu Meiren's place is very good. The environment is elegant and very peaceful."
Even though she knew that what Yin Lihua said was polite, Xu Xiling was still happy from ear to ear.
She suddenly thought of something, lowered her head, and said with some embarrassment: "This time Xi Ling went to Hanoi for official duties, but he accidentally received His Majesty's favor. Yin Guiren will not blame Xi Ling, right?"
If Liu Xiu was an ordinary person and took a concubine, Yin Lihua might still complain.
But Liu Xiu was not an ordinary person, but the emperor, the supreme emperor. How could she have only one wife? Even if Liu Xiu wanted to do this, the clan and ministers would not agree.
Managing government affairs is one of the emperor's tasks, and spreading the branches and leaves is also one of the emperor's tasks. Only when the royal family's heirs prosper can the country be prosperous and strong. On the contrary, the country's destiny will wither.
Now Yin Lihua has already thought about this matter. As long as her husband has her in his heart, she is already content.
She said with a smile: "Xu Meiren has nothing to say. It is Xu Meiren's blessing to be favored by His Majesty. I am too late to be happy for Xu Meiren, so how can I blame you?"
When Xu Xiling heard this, her charming eyes brightened and the smile on her face became even stronger.
Who is in His Majesty's heart and who has the final weight in His Majesty's heart? Xu Xiling knows it very clearly. In the entire palace, they would rather offend the person from Changqiu Palace than this Yin nobleman.
