Riding on the horse, Luo Yang was still a little dizzy, but when he was agitated by the cold wind that blew from time to time, he felt much better than before. He just walked in a daze, and he didn't know how long he had been walking. He could only hear
Liu Pi shouted softly in his ear, and Luo Yang knew he had arrived at his destination.
This is an ordinary-looking house with a closed door. This is not surprising at all. It is already late at night, and the doors of the houses on both sides of the street are not closed tightly. After waking up Luo Yang, Liu Pi signaled
The sergeant stepped forward to help Luo Yang dismount, and he himself dismounted, ran to the door, and knocked gently. Liu Pi's knocking method was very special and seemed to contain some special meaning. After a while,
A low voice was heard from inside the door: "Who is it?"
Liu Pi also lowered his voice and replied close to the door: "People from the mountain! Come to Fourth Brother!"
As soon as Liu Pi finished speaking, he heard the door creak open. Four or five people jumped out from inside, covering Liu Pi and Luo Yang as they entered. Even the mounts that the three of them had just ridden on
They were all led through the gate.
After entering the gate, Luo Yang shook his head vigorously and signaled the sergeant who was supporting him to let go. He walked forward with a slight stagger and asked the men in black waiting in front: "Lead the way!"
Immediately, the men in black bowed to Luo Yang and Liu Pi, turned around and led the way, with Luo Yang and Liu Pi following closely behind. Although this house didn't look very big from the outside, it looked like this.
But there is a unique cave inside. This is the place that Luo Yang had spotted when he was still a general under Wang Rui. He had secretly bought it long ago, and even Huang Zhong didn't know about it.
Soon, several people came to the door of a small house. The men in black walked to the door of the small house and stepped aside to let out the door. One of the men in black clasped his fists at Luo Yang and said, "Master! Since I was a child,
After escorting her to Xiangyang, she refused to eat and said she must see the lord. She didn't dare to use force, so she had to inform the lord!"
Luo Yang waved his hand and said: "Okay! You did it right! Okay! Let's all go down! Er, Liu Pi, you can go down too! I'm enough here!"
Seeing that Luo Yang seemed to be awake a lot, Liu Pi felt relieved. He clasped his fists in response to Luo Yang and then retreated with the men in black. But Luo Yang directly stepped forward and pushed the door open.
Pushed open and walked straight into the hut.
It was not completely dark inside the hut. An oil lamp finally provided a glimmer of light for the hut. Luo Yang stood on the threshold and looked into the room. He saw that this was a very ordinary hut. Apart from a table placed in the window,
There was no other furniture. In the innermost corner of the room, Queen Mother He stared blankly at Luo Yang who broke in, seemingly without any reaction.
Just like when she was in Fancheng, Empress Dowager He's hands and feet were trapped firmly. However, perhaps because of the cold weather, the sergeant who guarded her put a thick quilt on the ground for her to avoid
It was cold. Next to the quilt, there was a meal, but it showed no sign of being moved.
Luo Yang glanced at the Queen Mother He, then closed the door, stepped forward and clasped his fists at the Queen Mother He and said, "I have finally met your empress!"
Queen Mother He just turned her head and glanced at Luo Yang. The difference from before was that this time there was neither resentment nor panic in Queen Mother He's eyes. Instead, there was an empty emotion. It seemed that she was sure that Queen Mother He would not yell.
She yelled, so the soldiers did not block her mouth with anything, but even so, Queen Mother He had no intention of speaking and turned her head back.
Luo Yang couldn't help but frown, and continued: "Empress! For the sake of your health, I invite you to eat!"
Hearing Luo Yang's words, Queen Mother He slowly turned her head, stared at Luo Yang for a long time with her empty eyes, and finally said: "Don't you just want my life in the end? I will give you my life."
That's it for you! Do you need to pretend to be so?"
Although the tone of Queen Mother He's words was very calm, there was a hint of chill in the words, which made Luo Yang's somewhat dizzy head sober up a lot. The expression on Queen Mother He's frowning expression did not seem to be the same.
It's a lie. It seems that the Queen Mother He is really determined to die. For Luo Yang, he doesn't care whether the Queen Mother He is dead or alive, but since he has thought about handing the Queen Mother He over to Liu Xie, Luo Yang
He didn't want Queen Mother He to die now. Immediately, Luo Yang said to Queen Mother He: "Your Majesty, you must not think like that! Don't you want to return to the palace?"
"Imperial Palace?" After hearing this term, Queen Mother He's eyes suddenly flashed with light. She seemed to have some reaction to this name. Her face, which was expressionless at the beginning, began to show a slight, very complicated emotion.
look.
Seeing the change in Empress Dowager He's expression, Luo Yang knew that he had found the right direction. When the iron was hot, he took a step forward and said to Empress Dowager He: "That's right! Your Majesty is the mother of the country after all! It's really unfair for the general to treat your empress like this now.
If you have no other choice, as long as the empress returns to the palace, you can continue to enjoy the life she had before! Of course, the premise is that the empress can survive until that time!"
Luo Yang's words seemed to paint a hope for the Queen Mother He. The last words were said while looking at the untouched food in front of the Queen Mother He. Naturally, they meant something. After listening to Luo Yang's words, the Queen Mother He
There seemed to be a kind of yearning on her face. It seemed that the prosperity and wealth of the palace for more than ten years had deeply penetrated into the body and mind of Queen Mother He. After some struggles appeared on her face, Queen Mother He finally showed helplessness and
With an air of giving up, he raised his tied hands towards Luo Yang, gritted his teeth and said, "Here, let me go! I want to eat!"
Luo Yang smiled. After all, the Queen Mother He was just an ordinary woman. Her yearning for glory and wealth was enough to restrain her desire to die. Immediately, Luo Yang apologized, stepped forward and untied the hand of the Queen Mother He.
The ropes and even the ropes around her feet were untied. Now that the knot in Queen Mother He's heart was gone, there was no need to worry too much. Anyway, the place was heavily guarded and even a weak woman like her couldn't escape.
After being untied, the Queen Mother He gently rubbed her wrists and ankles with her hands. Being tied up for a long time every day, she was naturally a bit intolerable for a woman. She looked up at Luo Yang, who quickly did this to the Queen Mother He.
Luo Yang made a gesture of invitation and asked Queen Mother He to eat by herself. Luo Yang was not so despicable as to feed a woman whom he had no good feelings for, even if this woman was once the most powerful woman in the world.
Seemingly understanding Luo Yang's pride, Queen Mother He gave a wry smile, then consciously reached out to pick up the bowl and chopsticks. She looked down at the white rice in the bowl, then looked up at Luo Yang, and lifted up the chopsticks with a wry smile.
He was about to eat. Seeing the look of Queen Mother He, Luo Yang also breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that this matter was solved easily. If Queen Mother He was really resolute, it would be really troublesome for Luo Yang.
, I can’t say that I could only force the food into it in the end.
Luo Yang was distracted, but he didn't see it. At the moment when Queen Mother He lowered her head to eat, a strange look flashed in Queen Mother He's eyes. While Luo Yang wasn't paying attention, Queen Mother He slammed the rice bowl in her hand.
When the ground hit the ground, a clang was heard, the pottery bowl was smashed into pieces, and the white rice was also scattered on the floor!
This sudden move of Queen Mother He also startled Luo Yang. He looked down at Queen Mother He, but he didn't know why she suddenly lost her temper again. But at this moment, Queen Mother He jumped up suddenly and fell to the ground.
, grabbed a fragment of a pottery bowl, and cut it directly on his white neck!
"Oops!" When Luo Yang saw it, the pupils of his eyes couldn't help but shrink. He immediately understood that Queen Mother He was going to commit suicide. He hurriedly reached out and grabbed Queen Mother He's hand. The fragments of the pottery bowl were already about 30 meters away from Queen Mother He's neck.
It's less than a finger's distance away. Fortunately, Luo Yang took a step forward just now, otherwise, Queen Mother He would really have succeeded!
"Let me go! Let me go!" The blocked Queen Mother He began to struggle desperately, but how could she break away from Luo Yang's iron-like hand with her little strength. Unable to break free, Queen Mother He used another hand.
One hand kept beating Luo Yang's arm, trying to make Luo Yang let go.
It's a pity that Queen Mother He's little strength is just a scratching feeling for Luo Yang. Immediately, Luo Yang stretched out his hand to pull off the fragment that was tightly held in Queen Mother He's hand, and then pulled Queen Mother He away with one blow.
He was pulled up and shouted: "My dearest lady! Please respect yourself!"
"Let me go!" Queen Mother He let out a cry of pain when Luo Yang pulled her like this, but she did not give up her struggle. She even used her feet this time, kicking and shouting: "Let me go.
!My prince is dead! What hope do I have of living! Let me die! Let me go! Let me die!"
After hearing what the Queen Mother He said, Luo Yang finally understood why the Queen Mother He made such a fuss. It makes sense when she thinks about it. No matter what happens to the Queen Mother He, she is still a woman after all. As a woman, her husband moved first.
They fell in love, and in the end they did not reconcile with her even until their death. This was a big blow to her. And her son, who was her only support in the future, was no longer in this world. Empress Dowager He had the idea of death.
This is also a matter of course.
Thinking of this, Luo Yang couldn't help but feel a headache. The Queen Mother He couldn't be hit or scolded, and now she had to live and die. Luo Yang really didn't know how to deal with it.
