Chapter 9 Captured
Chapter 9 Captured
The prince Zhou Jing is tough on the outside and soft on the inside, self-willed, squatting on the crown prince for too long, but is increasingly tabooed by the emperor; Chenliu Wang Zhou Zheng has small cleverness and tricks, but no great wisdom and no big heart. Without the emperor's favor, he It's just an egg with a brittle shell; the rest of the seven or eight princes are either incompetent themselves or their birth mothers are inferior or too young... Li Xian stroked his fingers from beginning to end, but he couldn't find anyone who could match Zhou Dun. Comparable opponents come.
Zhou Dun is ruthless enough, he treats the enemy as well as himself, he also has unmatched talents and strategy, and he can tolerate revenge, as long as it makes him feel useful and does not threaten his great cause, he can do it. Tolerant and incredibly generous.
Since the relationship with the future emperor cannot be separated, for the sake of sister and himself, Li Xian made up his mind not to offend this narrow-minded and ruthless person, and to make Zhou Dun think that he is of little use and does not hinder big things. The important thing is that you must never roll on the dragon bed again in this life!Not to mention being involved in Hejian King's shady secrets.
Knowing too much, even if he is a confidant, Zhou Dun is merciless, just like General Zhong in the past, the cunning rabbit is not dead, the running dog will be cooked first!I don't know who else in Zhou Dun can lead the army to fight against the enemy in the future when the army of the Northern Kingdom will come to suppress the border?
Under the deliberate disregard of the emperor and the crown prince, the marriage contract between King Hejian and the Xiangfu has been dragged on until now, but King Chenliu got married a few years ago, and the marriage of the seventh prince will not be delayed for a long time. The son-in-law of the family is just around the corner.
Yesterday, everything was like death, now and now he is going to be a new man, and he will never dare to offend this vicious brother-in-law—at least on the surface, Li Xian will try his best to let this suspicious future emperor know that he, a dude, is doing everything for his sister. It has been reformed.
Zhou Dun's public image at this moment is just like his name, with a gentle and honest personality but a little cowardly, with a handsome body but polite and shy. Since he "met" his fiancee by chance and his brother-in-law has changed from his usual arrogance, he naturally wants to "know the etiquette" like a ceremonial, gentle After greeting the siblings of the Li family thoughtfully, the honest King of Hejian reluctantly bid farewell under the respectful escort of Mr. Li.
Li Xian watched the future brother-in-law leave gracefully, but in the blink of an eye, she saw that sister was quietly raising the curtain and staring at him with a blushing pretty face, feeling sad, and knew that sister was a "good match" without regrets, but also had a heart Affectionately put into, unable to extricate themselves.
Disappointed, they rode their horses and escorted the elder sister back home. Shiping and Silu saw that the young master's face was as if he had been smothered by fart. The smoke will also avoid becoming a vent for the eldest son.
Li Xian chatted with Ajie intermittently, walked beside the carriage for more than two miles, saw the vermilion-black nailed gate of Li Mansion, and suddenly there was a commotion at the end of the street, the guards hurriedly took their positions, and The masters surrounded him, standing aloofly with their swords out of their sheaths.
But I saw a healthy horse galloping from the end of the street. The knight on the horse was dressed in the uniform of a postman. Get out of the way!" Whipping the horse's buttocks with blood, whistling and galloping past.
Although he didn't know where he was going, judging by the knight's expression, it was definitely not Lubu's victory. After the postman galloped past, the crowd buzzed in panic.
Li Xian stared at the direction of the station envoy, and whispered to Si Lu to find out.
I quietly counted the time in my heart, yes, it was during this period of time that the Zhong family's criminals were involved.
For a moment, Li Xian frowned, his mind complicated and difficult to understand.
General Zhongsu, who guarded northern Xinjiang, was defeated and captured!
The news of landslides and landslides spread across the capital like wildfire in just a few days.All kinds of specious news swept through countless secrets like a gust of wind, and the sky over the capital was covered with dark clouds, making everyone's hearts feel like a heavy lead.
There are secret rumors that Jinshang was shocked by the bad news, vomited blood and fainted for half a day, and then angrily scolded the crown prince for harming the country, Zhong's family for being ungrateful and forgetful of loyalty, and failed to die all day!
"...It is said that Ling Qiang first colluded with [-] Turkic barbarian cavalry, and went around Wentu Mountain to set up a frontier fortress to invade the invaders. General Zhongsu led [-] bowmen and [-] fine cavalry to ambush Wentu Valley, and somehow they were defeated by [-]. Surrounded by an army of wild cavalry,...there is no one to save the soldiers, the food and fodder are shot and arrows are exhausted, more than half of the soldiers are killed and injured, General Zhongsu led his troops to break through the encirclement but failed, and was defeated and captured."
Si Lu whispered back the news that he had heard in the past few days. Although he tried his best to find out, he still had some tricks, but it was really hard for him, a servant, to find out what was going on in this military and state affairs.
After thinking for a while, he hesitated and added another sentence: "It is said that General Zhong has surrendered to the Turks."
Li Xian squatted in a half-squatting horse stance, his feet were sore and trembling slightly, he ignored it, just listened carefully to Si Lu's gossip, and didn't go into details when he heard some vague words, and looked up at the little boy who was a little guilty and short of breath. fellow.
Prime Minister Li knew everything about it, but Li Zhao would never discuss such important national affairs with him, an unscrupulous prodigal son, and it was even more difficult to find him in recent days. When I met him occasionally, the prime minister always had a black coffin face.
In the dream of his previous life, after he heard about this incident, he couldn't care less about inquiring about the inside story and the general situation. He really wanted to set off a hundred and eighty firecrackers to celebrate the misfortune of Zhong Er's family. Zhong Er avenged his disfigurement, but it was a pity that the fatter man did not make it to this day, and Zhong Er privately settled the account early.
Si Lu pursed her lips, finally couldn't hold back anymore, and asked anxiously: "My lord...will the barbarians enter the customs and fight to the capital?"
"Silu! Can you say these words casually? I really don't know the seriousness!" Shiping's face changed when he heard the words, and he shouted sharply.
"Okay, there are no outsiders here, so just be cautious in your words and deeds in the future." Li Xian watched the water drip, gritted his teeth and finally stood up straight. Khan, covering his face with the scarf, he suddenly said in a muffled voice, "No."
The previous barbarian invasion was nothing more than a bluff, and they plundered [-] to [-] people in northern Xinjiang as slaves. Although they had a big appetite and wanted to go south to the Central Plains, Dayan was not only the generals of the Zhong family, but also Chen from the north. Chen Bing borders the country, waiting to reap the benefits of the fisherman.
The emperor urgently ordered Liu Qi, a veteran general of the Northwest Army, to lead an army of [-] to fight in northern Xinjiang. After a hasty fight, he struggled for more than two months, and finally drove the barbarians out of the country, and Chen Guo also retreated angrily.Since then, Liu Qi has replaced the barbarian Zhongsu to guard the northern border. Although there is no great merit or demerit, he sacrificed the tortoise defense method, step by step, and the army and the people went to battle. There are many stone fortresses, at least guarding the gate of the country.
Until a year and a half later, the event that shocked the world happened.
No matter how the people or things around me in this world change because of me, the general trend of the world——Li Xian is very self-aware, and it cannot be changed by his own influence.
"Ah?" Si Lu was taken aback, and then suddenly realized that the young master was answering his question just now.
For some reason, the young master who had always been unreliable vaguely said the word "no", but was extremely firm and confident, and accidentally dropped most of the stones in the hearts of the two boys.
Li Xian picked up a snow-white wet cloth, casually threw it to the equally sweaty private guard "Master" Zheng Qing, and said, "Thank you for your hard work, wipe it off too."
Zheng Qing thanked him, wiped his sweat, and quietly looked at the young master who had changed his temperament, only to see the pair of peach blossom eyes on that delicate face, but at the moment they were dignified and deep, and he couldn't see to the end.
Li Xian swung back the servant who was serving him, soaked alone in the bathtub, thinking about the news he had heard, looking at the misty mist, and suddenly sneered.Sometimes the gossip may not be untrue. Some people want to reveal part of the truth to the world, and use the mouth of the people to denounce the wrongdoing of the enemy.
It is true that Zhongsu set up an ambush to reject the barbarians and was ambushed. It is true that someone secretly communicated with the enemy country. General Zhongsu Zhongda was defeated and captured.And the general of the army who delayed the military plan was none other than the Cen family of Prince Zhou Jing's mother's family!
Therefore, today he was frightened and vomited blood, his body was damaged, an arm of the prince was cut off, he was reprimanded for wronging the country, and he fought with Zhou Zheng even more.Who else can benefit from it, and who can play with people's hearts?Isn't it his dear brother-in-law Zhou Dun!
As for the Zhong family...fucking shit!His eldest son Li didn't trouble Zhong Er, but just watched with cold eyes, he could be regarded as a saint!
Li Xian raised his eyebrows and let out a sigh of relief, got up from the bathtub, and shouted: "Shi Ping, come in and wait for changing clothes!"
***
The days are leisurely, keeping fit and healthy, reading wisely and meditating, while busy helping my sister to find good things to marry, while thinking about what can be used to create a momentum for my family, so as to enrich my family in a low-key way The waist bag can also make the ruthless future emperor "brother-in-law" of the Tian family realize the practical and harmless attributes.
Facing the wall and scratching at the wall for a long time, but did not hold back a golden light, Mr. Li realized with depression that human nature is basically a natural talent, even if it is more than half a lifetime of memory, even if it is holding back bad water. It's basically a delusion to swallow your stomach and work hard to get stronger, if you don't have the ability to force it out.
After correctly realizing this point, Li Xian stared blankly for a few days, and that look of vacant eyes and sloppy steps annoyed all the men and women who were serving the bodyguards, until that day when he heard that the uncle was coming to the house, Mr. Li There was a flash of inspiration in the young master's mind, as if his brain had been blown away by the thunderbolt from the nine heavens!
He jumped up, clutching Ruhua who had come to report the letter, shaking the charming woman's shoulders and laughing wildly, shouting happily: "I thought of it, I thought of it! Hahaha! Old uncle, so that's how it is, that's how it is, hahaha !"
Tears glistened in the pain of entering the painting, almost crying out loud, sighing secretly that he was unlucky, and afraid that something he said would drive the young master crazy, under the shock and pain, he rolled his eyes and was about to faint.
"My lord, let go..." Zheng Qing couldn't stand it any longer, and was worried about the situation of your lord, so he frowned and said.
Li Xian finally came to his senses, waved his hand impatiently, let Jianyi help the semi-dizzy Ruhua back, and secretly cursed, delicate girls are troublesome!
Thinking about the inspiration that his uncle brought to him, he couldn't keep his mouth shut anymore, and he was so excited that he told Zheng Qing to himself: "Come on, come on! Sit with me, let me think about it, how should I start?" , haha! It should have occurred to me earlier, that bastard finally has something to say about being honest and not deceiving me!"
