"What a joke," Yu Chengyun shouted, "Even if I die under the sword, I will not bow down to a mediocre emperor like you."
Concubines, please rush out together, I am ashamed of you in this life, and I will have a drink with you after I get to the underworld."
"Yes," the dead man's eyes were firm, and he was determined to die. Several concubines were so frightened that they cried and shouted sadly. A trace of panic and reluctance flashed in Emperor Wanlong's eyes, and he said angrily: "Yu Cheng
Cloud, you.”
Wu Hou's crossbows in Fengwu Camp were all aimed at the rebels, and they would shoot the remaining soldiers as soon as they were ordered. However, the power of these crossbows was amazing, and the prince, queen, and several concubines would also become dead souls under the arrows, and the generals would throw rat weapons at them.
When Li Chengye saw Duqi Commander Xiao Changhe standing next to Yu Chengyun, his mind was racing and he shouted loudly: "Xiao Changhe, capture the traitor Yu Chengyun. I beg the emperor to spare your family's death."
"
Emperor Wanlong's eyes lit up and he said: "Xiao Changhe, I will capture Chengyun soon and save my concubine. I will pardon your innocence. No, I will reinstate your official position."
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone behind him frowned, but no one refuted. Xiao Changhe remained silent, and Yu Chengyun laughed loudly and said: "Li Chengde, Li Chengde, I still saw you right, I am happy to have you.
The country will cease to exist."
"Bold!" Several people shouted in unison. Yu Chengyun sneered repeatedly but said nothing.
At this time, Xiao Changhe said slowly: "Grand Master, it is thanks to your cultivation that I have achieved my status today. Ever since the Grand Master rescued Chang He from prison, Chang He's life has belonged to the Grand Master."
After speaking, he stared at Emperor Wanlong with hatred and gritted his teeth and said: "In the martial arts competition back then, my family was poor and my clothes were shabby. I only beat a few princes and grandsons, so you held a grudge against me. Not only did you not let me participate in the last few rounds,
In this battle, I was actually punished for the crime of defying the dynasty. I was imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison for nearly a year. If it hadn't been for the Grand Master's rescue, I would have turned into a pile of bones. Li Chengde, you were the prison for martial arts examinations back then.
, do you ever remember?"
"How can I remember this?" Emperor Wanlong murmured.
"In those days when Grand Master was not as powerful as he is today, he could devote all his efforts for me. Although Xiao is not talented, he also knows etiquette, justice and integrity. Grand Master, Changhe is ashamed of your respect, so he took the first step." After saying this, it does not mean that he knows etiquette, justice and integrity.
Chengyun spoke, took out a dagger, stabbed it into his heart, and whispered: "Master, in the next life, the work of dogs and horses will be done again."
Yu Chengyun did not look back, his eyes flashed, and he said to Emperor Wanlong with a hint of sadness: "Li Chengde, you said that I have killed people, but how many people have you killed over the years? My country is in turmoil, and there are constant wars on the border.
Thieves and robberies are everywhere, but you only know about romance, have you ever thought about the people of Dagan? At this moment, here, you are still thinking about your beloved concubine."
Emperor Wanlong was at a loss for words. Looking at the begging concubines, he really couldn't bring himself to kill them together with the rebels. Prince Chun and Prince Mu looked at each other and said in unison: "Brother, I'm afraid something will happen, please
Give the order."
Emperor Wanlong closed his eyes, listening to the cries of his concubines, leaving two lines of hot tears. He was about to order the arrow to be fired, when a voice suddenly came from behind: "Yu Chengyun."
Emperor Wanlong hurriedly opened his eyes and was overjoyed. He turned around and saw that it was the ghost-faced man on the praying platform.
The surrounding soldiers automatically separated a path for the ghost-faced man. When he passed Emperor Wanlong, Prince Chun, who was covered in blood, frowned slightly. The ghost-faced man walked to Yu Chengyun and stood in front of him, looking at Yu Chengyun quietly. Xiao Bai died
Just as he was about to step forward to protect him, Emperor Wanlong stopped him and heard the ghost-faced man say coldly: "Yu Chengyun, you are defeated today."
Yu Chengyun's eyes shone with a menacing glare, and he said bitterly: "You are the one who is making suggestions for Li Chengde behind his back?"
"That's right," the ghost-faced man said a little tiredly. Prince Chun was shocked, but he felt that this tone seemed particularly familiar.
"Okay, okay," Yu Chengyun said a few good words and said coldly: "If you want me to let these concubines go, you'd better save your breath."
The ghost-faced man slowly raised his head and said: "Yu Chengyun, you are good at calculations and know how to make choices. You look back at these concubines and cry bitterly. They are not as dignified as the empress Rong. What do you want to exchange them for? Yes.
Would it be better for you to die without a complete body, or for your children to be slaves and prostitutes forever? Or I can break their legs and feet and let them scold you every day in the downtown area and make people laugh at you? Or I can feed your flesh and blood to the members of the clan.
Old man and young son? Not everyone can be as open-minded as you are. If you are not afraid of death, someone will definitely eat your flesh and drink your blood. After eating, you will exchange for someone else's. Maybe it will be Mr. Xiuxuan's turn. Too
The Master's family has a great cause, but I don't know who the Grand Master cares about?"
Everyone present, except for the hard-minded people, all took a breath of cold air and were shocked. There was no sound in the place for a while, and coupled with the gloomy grimace of Da Luo, there were several women who were crying,
He was so shocked that he stopped talking. Yu Chengyun felt cold all over and said in a trembling voice: "You have such a cruel heart. I should have thought of it. You can kill Lord Situ and the palace guards if you want. In terms of cruelty, I can't compare to you."
"Grand Master is good at scheming, far better than me. If it weren't for a sudden difficulty, it would be hard to predict who would win and who would lose. However," the ghost-faced man paused, then continued: "Grand Master, you keep the prince, queen and several concubines.
, you have not killed, you already have luck in your heart, and you did not stop General Xiao from committing suicide just now, just to make us think that you have made up your mind to defeat the fish. Yu Taishi, you can be considered a hero of the generation, there is no need for me to look down upon you.
You, I promise you, while the ancestral hall of the Yu clan is still there, except for those who participated in this matter, the rest of the Yu clan will be exiled to northern Xinjiang. After the house is confiscated, I will ask the emperor for permission to distribute some money and food to cover the rest of your clan's life. If you
No one in my family has ever conspired to rebel or collaborate with the enemy, so I will keep him safe for the rest of his life." After saying this, he looked at Yu Chengyun quietly.
Yu Chengyun's expression changed several times, and finally he sighed: "It's up to you. It's just a dead soldier under my command. Please let him go as well. I'll exchange it for the treasure trove of gold and silver weapons I've kept privately over the years."
The ghost-faced man said nothing and stood sideways.
Emperor Wanlong hurriedly said: "Okay, I'm sure."
"Put away your weapons and let them pass." Yu Chengyun ordered. The dead soldiers removed their weapons, and several concubines supported each other and staggered over. The prince also stood up and rushed towards Emperor Wanlong.
When passing the queen, Empress Rong was about to call her out, but she saw the prince's face was frightened, his hair was disheveled, and he had long lost his usual grace and demeanor. Her heart softened and she said no more.
After the concubines passed, they gathered around Emperor Wanlong and cried, but Emperor Wanlong was on the side offering gentle words of advice. After Yu Chengyun looked at it, he sighed and said, "Li Chengde, my life is not as good as yours."
Li Xuanci shouted: "Shameless traitor, he will not repent even when he is about to die."
Yu Chengyun didn't take it seriously, turned to the ghost-faced man and said, "I have one last thing to ask of you."
The ghost-faced man did not speak. After waiting for a moment, he slowly took off the mask, and a handsome face appeared in front of everyone. Except for Emperor Wanlong, Xiao Baisheng, Mu Wang and the Seventh Prince, who had already known about it in advance, everyone else
With an exclamation, Yu Chengyun was even more stunned on the spot. The ghost-faced man turned his head, walked a few steps towards Li Chengye, knelt down and said, "Father."
When the Ghost-Faced Man began to speak, Prince Chun felt that the voice seemed familiar, but he was never sure. When the Ghost-Faced Man took off his mask and saw his face clearly, Prince Chun suddenly heard a buzzing sound in his ears, as if there was a yellow bell in his head, and before his eyes
It was dark, and he couldn't see anything clearly for a long time. He didn't hear his father when he called him. After a while, Prince Chun finally said with difficulty: "Li Luo!"
On that day, Li Luo was competing with Yu Xiuxuan on Jincan Street in the west of the city. He heard Yu Xiuxuan's wild words that he would kneel down and beg him within three months. He also heard from Zhang Zeliu that the Grand Master had been secretly preaching the edict recently.
After gathering food and fodder through the Tsukazaifu, they guessed that Yu Chengyun was up to no good, so they immediately entered the palace and went to the Longevity Palace to find the Queen Mother and tell her everything.
Among all the grandchildren, Li Luo was the most loved by the Queen Mother. Li Luo always talked to the Queen Mother since he was a child, and the Queen Mother also knew about Duanmu's boat sinking and practicing martial arts. After Luo'er's death, Li Luo felt miserable and indulged in wantonness. If not
The Queen Mother was always comforting and explaining things, but Li Luo might have lost his mind a long time ago.
The Queen Mother had always marveled at Li Luo's talent and learning, so she told Emperor Wanlong that Li Luo could be of great use. When she heard Li Luo's plan, she immediately agreed and secretly summoned Emperor Wanlong to discuss it together. Emperor Wanlong was quite enthusiastic at first.
He was surprised, but he had trusted the Queen Mother since he was a child and had loved Li Luo a lot. He did not think too much about it and went ahead with his plan to recruit Xiao Baisheng.
Yu Chengyun calmed down, looked at Li Chengye and said, "You gave birth to a good son."
Li Chengye had not yet woken up from the shock. He just looked at Li Luo who was covered in blood, not knowing what to say or what to do.
Yu Chengyun sighed, looked at Empress Rong, and hesitated to speak. Empress Rong smiled slightly and said: "Brother, I didn't want this to end like this. All these years, it's all my fault. If I hadn't made things convenient for you in every way, you wouldn't have had the idea."
With such a big ambition, now that things have come to a head, let me let my sister accompany you for the last time."
Yu Chengyun's lips moved and he said in a low voice: "Shi Wan." But the rest of the words were not spoken.
Empress Rong said to Li Luo: "I used to see that you were smart and kind-hearted. But when I saw you today, I let go of my worries. Your Majesty trusts you. Don't betray Your Majesty. Xuan Yi is your eldest brother, and he has nothing to do with this matter."
I don’t know, if he can no longer be the prince, then let him live out his remaining days peacefully as an ordinary person. This is my request to you, can you accept it?"
Li Luo looked at Empress Rong, then at Emperor Wanlong, and then said: "Okay, I agree."
Empress Rong smiled and said: "You are an anomaly because you were born into this emperor's family." Then she said to Emperor Wanlong: "Your Majesty, I have failed you, take good care of Yi'er."
Emperor Wanlong couldn't bear to say: "Wan'er, I don't blame you, it was your brother who deceived you. Come back, I will treat you as before."
Empress Rong smiled softly and said: "Your Majesty, it's too late. To forgive the Yu family's crime of genocide, someone must die on their behalf, otherwise how can the soldiers who died in vain rest in peace." As she spoke, her voice became lower and lower, and she slowly fell down.
, Yu Chengyun cried out sadly, hugged Queen Rong, and finally couldn't help but shed tears: "Shiwan, it's my eldest brother who was wrong, it was my eldest brother who was wrong."
The Shepherd King waved his hand slightly, and the soldiers stepped forward to set up Chengyun. The remaining dead soldiers gathered in a group, sheathed their swords, closed their eyes and waited for death. Emperor Wanlong sighed and said: "Take them into the sky."
prison."
Yu Chengyun was taken down, and there were only dozens of dead soldiers left in the field, standing alone among the troops. Emperor Wanlong looked at Li Luo and said, "You can handle it."
Li Luo was stunned, turned around, and said slowly: "Kill."
The sound and hum of the machine sounded, and then it stopped again. Looking back, there was no dead soldier standing. Li Luo took two steps forward and suddenly felt dizzy, as if Emperor Wanlong was saying something.
, but couldn't hear anything. He opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood. He heard a faint exclamation in his ears, his vision went dark, and he lost consciousness.
