The sharp sword tip pierced the official robe, and Changji suddenly took a step forward: "Lang Jun!"
"Sir!" The imperial guards also changed their expressions and were about to draw their swords, but Wei Shuyi raised his hand to stop them.
Wei Shuyi was pressed against the edge of the sword, looked at the young man holding the sword, and said: "The imperial court is not innocent. The death of Yue Jie is the emperor's fault. As courtiers, we should also be responsible for failing to remonstrate."
Take responsibility——”
"If you kill Wei, you can dispel the anger of Yue Langjun and Shuofang's army. Wei will die today."
After Wei Shuyi finished speaking, he stepped forward again against the sword.
Yue Chunyan looked slightly startled, and subconsciously stepped back to retract his sword, but he still felt that the sword in his hand had pierced the flesh and blood. There was clearly bright red blood on the retracted sword tip.
There was a lot of commotion and noise everywhere. Yue Chunyan looked at the unmoved young official and felt a little turbulent in his heart - his sword was extremely sharp and was left by his father... Just now, he thought about being killed for a moment, or
If you slow down the movement of sheathing the sword for just a moment, you may kill this person on the spot!
Are you really not afraid of death?
Yue Chunyan's red eyes reflected Wei Shuyi's figure. That figure was of outstanding elegance. If you look into his eyes, you will find that there is no trace of shrinkage or fear in those eyes, but there is a hint of shame.
Being stared at by such a pair of eyes, Yue Chunyan found that his sword-holding hand was trembling, and not just because of anger.
"Have you ever thought about it, Lord Yue Lang, if chaos arises in Shuofang's army and they become enemies of the imperial court, who will suffer and who will benefit?" Wei Shuyi's eyes turned red: "The sufferers are innocent soldiers and civilians, and the benefits are
The person is actually Prince Rong Li Yin."
"Prince Rong used Jiannan Jiedushi to carry out indiscriminate killings in the capital. The purpose is to make the world more chaotic, so that Prince Rong's palace can better benefit from it——"
"Yes, now that the world is broken, everyone can rebel!" Wei Shuyi's voice rose a little higher, but his eyes were still sincere and powerful: "But if the result is just to use the blood of our own soldiers to pave the way to heaven for the enemy, how can it be true?
does it worth?"
"If Yue Jie's spirit is in heaven, can he really rest in peace and joy?"
These sincere but to the point words made Yue Chunyan and the Shuofang Army behind him slowly change their expressions.
The sergeants were still not angry, but they were a little more shaken.
No matter how much people are dazzled by hatred, they will not be willing to be the enemy's pawn.
"It's just some confusing and evasive words!" The military commander beside Yue Chunyan looked at Wei Shuyi with a fierce look in his eyes: "With these bullshit words, do you want to write off the imperial court's mistakes and cancel everything!"
"Wei has never thought of evading responsibility on behalf of the imperial court." Wei Shuyi saluted Yue Chunyan again: "The mistake has been made. Please put the safety of the world in the hearts of Shuofang's army and Yue Jie's envoy, and give him the next face-to-face
Madam and the generals have a chance to make amends."
"I come here with sincerity. I just want to make up for my mistakes as much as possible." Wei Shuyi maintained the gesture of saluting. Chang Ji held the sword with red eyes and tilted his head slightly to one side.
His husband has been the proud son of heaven since he was a child, and he has never been so humble and self-deprecating.
Behind him, a cold wind rolled up the door curtain and passed through the hall.
Wei Shuyi heard that the cold wind came from all the people in the world, so he didn't feel humiliated.
He lowered his figure lower, his gestures of holding the salute became more correct, and asked again: "Please allow me to enter the city, and discuss with my wife and the lieutenants and generals how to make amends."
"When you enter Lingzhou City, your life and death are just a matter of your thoughts. If you behave inappropriately, you can be killed at any time——"
Yue Chunyan tightened his grip on the long sword on the ground. He suddenly realized that insisting on entering Lingzhou City would not benefit Wei Shuyi at all.
Although the other person is not dead, he has surrendered all his life.
"How can we trust those cunning words! Who knows what his plans are!" The general refused flatly and was about to draw his sword: "Hurry up and hand over the envoy's coffin, otherwise I will let you die now!"
"No -" Yue Chunyan looked at Wei Shuyi and said: "Quan Xiaowei, let him enter the city!"
The general frowned: "Dalangjun——"
The young man interrupted him: "I want to see what kind of sincerity he can show!"
After the young man finished speaking, he turned around and left: "If he dares to play tricks, I will chop him into pieces without any delay!"
Although he is young and has no say in the army, he is here today to support the coffin. This is a family matter of the Yue family. As the eldest son of Yue Guang, his wishes should come first in everything. This is a group of soldiers.
the default.
Wei Shuyi saluted the young man's back again: "Thank you, Mr. Yue Lang, for making it possible."
He bet that someone as loyal as Yue Jiezhi would definitely be able to raise a good son. Wei Shuyi thought that his plan was despicable in a sense.
Soon, Yue Guang's coffin was transported out of the post house.
The wind and snow were getting worse, but it could not obscure the young man's mournful cry like a bird or animal when he knelt down and kowtowed: "Father!"
Thousands of Shuofang sergeants knelt down and kowtowed deeply.
Wei Shuyi also knelt down and bowed, folded his hands in front of his forehead, and slowly fell into the snow.
The coffin-carrying team moved slowly.
Wei Shuyi only ordered ten forbidden troops to accompany him into the city, and said to Chang Ji: "You will also stay. If something happens to me in the city, you will leave with the rest of the people to find Xuance's army."
He was able to enter Guannai Road alive and successfully, and when he came to Lingzhou, Xuance Army secretly helped him - but he once again asked Cui Ling'an for help, and Cui Ling'an also provided help without hesitation.
However, the war situation Cui Ling'an faced at this time was actually particularly dangerous. Almost all of Xuance's army was fighting in the Yinshan area or stationed in other important places. Only two thousand people were able to stay on the pass.
And due to the internal division of forces in the Shuofang Army, the two thousand Xuance Army were not allowed to enter the Lingzhou boundary by the Shuofang Army at this time. They could only linger at the border, temporarily maintaining a certain balance, and paying attention on behalf of Cui Jing.
The movements of Shuofang's army.
If Wei Shuyi is in trouble in Lingzhou City, as long as Changji can leave Lingzhou with the remaining 500 forbidden troops and seek the protection of those Xuance troops, there will still be a chance of survival.
Faced with Wei Shuyi's explanation, Changji said nothing.
Wei Shuyi turned around and walked a few steps, stopped again, turned around, and saw Chang Ji following closely behind him.
Wei Shuyi looked at him: "Why did you disobey your order?"
Changji said in a dull voice: "I don't want to see Cui Yuanxiang one day, and he will show off to his subordinates that he has a great governor, but his subordinates have no husband."
Wei Shuyi twitched his lips in a funny way: "Cui Yuanxiang shouldn't rub salt into his wounds like this."
Then he said seriously: "Besides, the situation of his chief governor at this time is not much more stable than that of your husband."
"Stay." Wei Shuyi looked at the guard who had been with him since childhood and said, "If anything happens, at least go back to Beijing and bring a message to my parents for me."
Changji turned away and said, "I can't say anything."
Wei Shuyi sighed worriedly: "Wei Changji, what use are you?"
"The purpose of subordinates is to fight one against ten." Changji raised his head, looked at the ten forbidden soldiers, and suddenly clasped his fists: "Lang Jun, let your subordinates follow you, leave them behind!"
Wei Shuyi followed Chang Ji's gaze and said, "It seems that you are determined not to let me show any selfishness..."
As he said that, he turned around with a smile: "Okay, let's go."
Changji raised his hand to wipe away the snot from crying or freezing, and strode after him.
The master and the servant left in the snow, with snow falling on their shoulders, as white as the sky and the earth.
The remaining Imperial Guards knelt down with tears in their eyes.
More than a thousand people and horses carried the coffin and headed towards Lingzhou City.
The post house here is only twenty miles away from Lingzhou City. Even if the journey is slow in the snow, one hour is enough.
However, the journey was only five miles away when something unexpected happened and blocked the way.
Sharp arrows suddenly struck from behind the snow-covered bushes on the side of the official road. For a moment, everyone in the team was thrown onto their backs and their horses were forced to stop.
Seeing a sharp arrow piercing the top of the coffin, Yue Chunyan, who was accompanying the coffin, couldn't help but be shocked and angry: "Who dares to cause chaos in Lingzhou!"
Those sharp arrows came from the other side of the coffin, blocking the young man's sight for a moment. He immediately turned his horse around, only to see that the "assassins" rushing out were all in the uniforms of Shuofang's army!
There was a buzz in Yue Chunyan's mind, and he soon discovered that following the commotion, the team carrying the coffin quickly divided into two groups. The two groups were almost half in number. Half of them were still panicking, while the other half were
After withdrawing from the Shuofang army that suddenly appeared, they quickly merged into one place.
Seeing the general who had made his stance clear, slowly approaching him on horseback, Yue Chunyan's eyes trembled: "Quan Xiaojun... do you want to rebel?"
A mocking and contemptuous smile appeared on the face of the captain whose full surname was Yue: "Really? Does Dalang Jun really think that his surname is Yue, so that we can be regarded as the new master?"
"Mr. Lang doesn't have to die. After all, being alive can still be of some use in winning over people's hearts. It's a pity that Lang Jun is too young and too easy to be bewitched and incited by other people's words-"
He said with undisguised murderous intent in his eyes: "Don't worry, Sir, I will escort your body back to the city together with the envoy's coffin and hand it over to my wife."
Then he raised his sword and ordered loudly: "Listen clearly! The imperial envoy came with the new Jiedu envoy appointed by the emperor to force us to submit and recognize our master. Dalang Jun was dissatisfied and refused to obey, so the imperial envoy killed Dalang Jun to threaten us!"
The imperial court first caused the death of the Yuejie envoy, and then killed the eldest son of the Yuejie envoy. He bullied our Shuofang army too much, so we had no choice but to kill him!"
"yes!"
Following the excited response, the sergeants behind Captain Quan immediately rushed forward to attack him.
Shuofang's army, who were still guarding the coffin, was extremely angry, but they barely had only 500 people. Dozens of them had been struck down by arrows, and the opponent's troops looked at the number of thousands...
He is determined to silence them all here!
The school captain named Quan shouted: "We are all brothers and sisters. If you are willing to wake up at this time, you only need to kill one person and stand up. The division commander will treat him with you!"
The deputy envoy of the division he refers to, whose full name is Shi Daxiong, is the most prestigious among the three deputy envoys in Shuofang's army.
Yue Chunyan was very familiar with him, and he was also vaguely aware of the struggle for military power in Shuofang's army, but like most people, he had always been convinced of Shi Daxiong.
Even in his eyes, if anyone in Shuofang's army could take over his father's position, it would be best for that person to be the deputy envoy of the division.
But at this time...
"You actually want to use your father's death to distort today's facts to satisfy your own selfish ambitions... and even kill your comrades!" The young man was filled with grief and anger, and drew his sword to fight him: "You are not worthy of commanding my father.
Shuofang’s army!”
"The envoy's son is indeed very courageous." Captain Quan sneered, as if he were looking at a lamb waiting to be slaughtered: "It's a pity that he's too young."
He didn't even bother to do it himself and turned the horse's head: "Give him a good time and don't make the body too ugly, otherwise my wife will not be able to bear it when she sees it!"
Hearing the teasing tone in his last voice, Yue Chunyan's eyes were full of hatred and he tried to catch up, but there was no chance.
He followed his father to practice martial arts since he was a child. Although he was only about to turn fourteen after the twelfth lunar month, his skills were already strong. In addition, he was inspired by murderous intent and actually killed a rebel with a sword.
But he had no advantage immediately with the sword. After all, he was no match for the sergeant who was honed on the battlefield. As the two spears on the left and right attacked, the young man rolled down and fell off the horse.
The horse's hooves were in a hurry, and the young man could only avoid and retreat. When he was about to run into the bushes beside the road, a sharp arrow was already approaching his back.
At the critical moment, a figure appeared behind the young man and threw him to the ground.
The two of them fell into the bushes in the snow together, and Changji followed closely and killed the two rebels who were chasing them.
"You..." Yue Chunyan climbed up and looked at Wei Shuyi, who was hit by an arrow in his left arm, with a trembling expression: "Why did you block the arrow for me..."
Wei Shuyi struggled to support his upper body and smiled at the young man: "This is also Wei's sincerity..."
At this time, more than ten sergeants came to surround Yue Chunyan, and dozens of others worked with Chang Ji to prevent the rebels from approaching. Wei Shuyi said to the soldiers who rushed in front of him: "Take Yue Langjun away quickly, don't do it first."
Returning to the city, there must be rebels ambushing you on the way back to the city... Leave Lingzhou to find the Xuance Army!"
Yue Chunyan looked at his arm where the arrow was hit: "Let's go together!"
Wei Shuyi shook his head at him: "Wei's inconvenience will only hinder Langjun. Langjun must remember that only by living can he have a chance to tell the truth and prevent the military disaster in Guannei Road——"
Yue Chunyan's eyes suddenly turned red, but he saw that the young man smiled calmly and showed no fear at all: "This matter originated from the imperial court. As long as Mr. Lang has a chance to prevent the disaster, Wei's death today will be considered worthwhile."
Uncle Wei Yiyan said, and looked at the soldiers around the young man, with trust in his eyes.
The soldiers understood and immediately grabbed the young man and put him on horseback.
Yue Chunyan lay on the back of the galloping horse and looked back with tears in his eyes, only to see the young prime minister sitting in the snow, watching him quietly.
In a daze, Yue Chunyan suddenly understood the other party's calmness - this Prime Minister Wei had not thought about the possibility of something happening on the road!
Division Daxiong and others want to take advantage of the arrival of the imperial envoy to further intensify the morale of the army...
But this imperial envoy is willing to use himself as a bait to lure those with unfavorable intentions to make mistakes, so that he, the husband of the Yue family, and the sincere soldiers can see the truth and try his best to leave a pill that can stop the soldiers inside the pass.
The fire of disaster!
Try your best to plan in an impossible situation and enter the game to break it!
Yue Chunyan's vision became blurry, and soon he could no longer see the figure clearly.
Wei Shuyi couldn't bear the pain in his arm, so he simply lay down in the snow.
He had calculated everything and knew that he was in a desperate situation. He was too lazy to run away in embarrassment, so he simply cherished the last trace of peace and clarity.
In the heavy snow, he exhaled a long breath of white mist and murmured: "The snow in the north is really cold."
