About a quarter of an hour later, the inn that had just been quiet became noisy again. A large group of people rushed directly into the inn, led by Liu Wenjing and Yang Gongqing.
Originally, the two of them should have arrived here a long time ago, but on the way they met Song Qian who was about to escape from Luoyang. Despite his chubby appearance, Song Qian was also a master. The man Yang Gongqing led They were all ordinary soldiers, and it took a lot of effort to capture Song Qian, which delayed them until now before arriving at Song Ji Inn.
Hearing the noisy voice, Yang Tong didn't react at all. He continued to stand there, closing his eyes and concentrating. When a large number of soldiers arrived in the courtyard, Yang Tong opened his eyes and scanned the people around him. After walking around for a while, he remained silent. When he saw Yang Tong, Liu Wenjing looked at Yang Gongqing first, then took a step forward, bowed his hand to Yang Tong, and said: "Your Majesty, Liu Wenjing, the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, is here to see the King of Yue. Your Highness,"
As soon as Liu Wenjing finished speaking, Yang Tong slowly turned his head and looked at Liu Wenjing. His face was neither sad nor happy, but indifferent. He said slowly: "You found this place so quickly. It seems that I didn't guess. Wrong, actually from the beginning, you knew that I escaped from Prince Yue's Mansion, right?"
Regarding Yang Tong's question, Liu Wenjing just smiled faintly, but did not answer directly. Instead, she smiled and said to Yang Tong: "His Highness's behavior this time made King Liang very disappointed. King Liang has already ordered the ministers to say that he will not do anything in the future." I don’t want to see His Highness again,”
Although Liu Wenjing's words were cryptic, anyone could understand the meaning of these words. After listening to Liu Wenjing's words, Yang Tong was neither frightened nor angry. He still had a calm expression on his face. He just smiled lightly and said: " I expected that to be the case, no matter how tolerant he was, he would never let me go this time,"
Liu Wenjing also smiled, but waved her hand behind her. Soon, three sergeants walked out from behind him, each holding a tray, and on the tray, there were a sword and a wine flask. With Fang Bai Ling, Liu Wenjing smiled and pointed at the three trays, and said to Yang Tong: "Since Your Highness is the emperor's grandson, I don't dare to use the sword against Your Highness, so I ask Your Highness to do it yourself."
Liu Wenjing's meaning was very obvious, that is, to let Yang Tong commit suicide. Even the tools were not prepared by Yang Tong. But looking at the three tools that could kill him at any time, Yang Tong actually smiled. , first reached out and slapped it, knocking over the tray holding the sword, and then shouted proudly: "I am from the Sui royal family, and the noble blood of the royal family flows in my body, how can I be dyed by swords and weapons,"
Then he slowly walked up to the white silk, reached out and touched the white silk, smiled and shook his head and said: "The late emperor died under the white silk, how could I end up with the same fate as the late emperor?" After that, another Push the tray containing Bai Ling away.
Finally, Yang Tong's eyes moved to the jug, his eyes lit up, and he laughed loudly, and shouted: "Okay, even before you die, you can drink a jug of good wine, which is not bad," he said , Yang Tong grabbed the jug, opened the lid of the jug, raised his head and poured the poisonous wine in the jug into his mouth, and drank all the poisoned wine in three or two gulps. Gone.
After drinking, Yang Tong tossed the empty wine bottle aside, then looked at Liu Wenjing with a smile and said: "Now that I am not going to die soon, I have a question. I want to ask it clearly, even if I die." , you must also understand clearly that Huangfu Wuyi has contacted the inner city defenders. Even if you already know it in advance, how can you unknowingly break the arrangement of Huangfu Wuyi and others? Wan He's men are indeed like this. generals, but none of them are in Luoyang now. As for Pang Yu and Huo Shiju, they don’t have such ability."
This is the biggest doubt in Yang Tong's heart. First of all, Yang Tong can be sure that Huangfu Wuyi and Duan Shihong will not betray him. With Huangfu Wuyi's ability, it must have been done, and there will definitely be no problem. In fact, The defenders of the inner city were the most important part of Yang Tong, but now there is a problem with this part. The only explanation is that there is a capable general in Luoyang City who helped Wan He pacify the inner city. There are rebels in the garrison, but as far as Yang Tong knows, the major generals under Wan He are not in Luoyang at all now. Who is the one who solved Wan He's plan?
Since Yang Tong has drunk the poisonous wine, it means that Yang Tong will definitely die. Liu Wenjing doesn't care to chat with Yang Tong for a while longer. After hearing Yang Tong's question, Liu Wenjing curled up the corner of her mouth and just thought for a moment. He smiled and said to Yang Tong: "Since His Highness insists on knowing, then I dare not hide it. Come here, go and invite General Yang."
General Yang, Yang Tong couldn't help but be startled when he heard what Liu Wenjing said. He didn't know that Wan He had any other generals named Yang besides Yang Gongqing, but Liu Wenjing had already gone to invite that person. Dong was not in a hurry and just waited quietly.
Not long after, Yang Tong began to feel cramps in his abdomen. It seemed that the poisonous wine had begun to take effect, and beads of sweat slowly began to appear on Yang Tong's forehead. Yang Tong She covered her stomach tightly with her hands, gritted her teeth, but raised her head and looked at Liu Wenjing, but Liu Wenjing turned a blind eye and just waited there quietly.
After a while, the soldiers surrounding him gave way to a path. Soon, a general wearing armor strode towards this side. He was a middle-aged general. He has a very elegant temperament. If it weren't for the armor on his body, he would look like a civil servant at first glance.
When Yang Tong saw this middle-aged general, his eyes widened. He even temporarily forgot about the severe pain in his stomach. He looked at him with disbelief and exclaimed: "You, you, actually It's you,"
Liu Wenjing slowly walked to the middle-aged general, looked at Yang Tong and smiled lightly: "I believe His Highness recognizes General Yang. That's right, it was General Yang's help that enabled us to successfully take over the inner city defenders. Last night, General Yang personally went out to kill the five rebel generals, and also killed Duan Shihong who went to contact him, and captured Huangfu Wuyi. It can be said that General Yang was the great hero last night."
To Liu Wenjing's words, the middle-aged general showed no reaction at all. His face was expressionless, as if he had not heard Liu Wenjing's words at all. However, Yang Tong looked at the middle-aged general and could no longer maintain his previous expression. After calming down, he staggered and walked towards the middle-aged general. Even Liu Wenjing, who was standing in front of the middle-aged general, pushed him away. After Liu Wenjing was pushed away, he did not get angry because of it. He smiled faintly and just stood aside and continued to watch Yang Tong's reaction.
But Yang Tong leaned on the middle-aged general and grabbed the middle-aged general's collar. However, the pain in his abdomen became more and more severe. He couldn't stand even if he wanted to, so he could only He continued to lean on the middle-aged general, raised his head, looked at the middle-aged general, and shouted: "Why, why, why, why did you go to help Wan He, why would you, would you betray the Sui Dynasty?" ,Yang, Yang, Yang Yichen,”
This middle-aged war general is none other than the great Sui Confucian general Yang Yichen who was finally transferred back by Yang Guang's edict and thrown into the sky prison because of his failure in fighting thieves.
Yang Yichen was a famous general in the Sui Dynasty and had high prestige in the army. When Yang Yichen was chasing thieves in Hebei, he just wanted to use delaying tactics to attract bandits from all walks of life in Hebei to kill each other. However, Wan He took advantage of the loophole. Guang Tong reported his crime and was imprisoned. Logically speaking, Yang Yichen should hate Wan He very much, so Yang Tong never expected that he helped Wan He escape last night. It turned out to be Yang Yichen.
Yang Yichen slowly lowered his head, but there was still no expression on his face. Looking at Yang Tong's face that had become distorted due to the poisonous attack, Yang Yichen said in a deep voice: "I am loyal to Sui Dynasty, not you. One person, your mistake is that you should not seize the throne in this way. If you succeed, Luoyang will be in chaos. Once Luoyang is in chaos, the world of the Sui Dynasty will really be in chaos. You, for your own selfish desires, have This is despite the great chaos in the world during the Sui Dynasty. You are not worthy of being the emperor."
Yang Yichen's words were word for word. Although the voice was not loud, they shocked Yang Tong's face. Yang Tong screamed. He tightly grasped Yang Yichen's armor with both hands in pain, and the bones in his hands were protruding. With great difficulty, After enduring the severe pain, Yang Tong raised his head again, his face full of unwillingness, and shouted: "I don't believe it, I don't believe it. If you are thinking about the Sui Dynasty, then what does this mean now? Is it possible that Luoyang is handed over to Wan He? Isn't the world in chaos during the Sui Dynasty?"
The corner of Yang Yichen's mouth twitched, but he soon regained his indifference and shouted: "Although today's emperor is young, he is the son of the late emperor. It is just and right to inherit the throne. Although Wan He has exclusive power, the great righteousness of the Sui Dynasty still exists. I As a minister of the Sui Dynasty, I should obey the orders of the Emperor of the Sui Dynasty. At least, in the hands of Wan He, the Sui Dynasty can still have a glimmer of vitality. This is the last loyalty that I, a minister of the Sui Dynasty, can give to the Sui Dynasty." At the end of the sentence, a trace of hesitation flashed in Yang Yichen's eyes, but soon he became more determined with this last sentence.
"Hehe, hehe, hahahaha," after hearing Yang Yichen's words, Yang Tong was stunned for a moment, and then he laughed again, and the laughter became louder and louder, as if he had forgotten the pain in his belly, and finally Yang Tong He spread his hands and let go of Yang Yichen's armor. He staggered back a few steps, looked up to the sky and laughed, shouting: "It turns out, it took me a long time, I, I actually, I He was actually a rebellious official and traitor from the Sui Dynasty, haha, this, this is really ridiculous, rebellious official and traitor, rebellious official and traitor, ah,,,"
At the end of the sentence, Yang Tong suddenly yelled, and his whole body fell backwards, falling to the ground without any breath, but his face still retained the ferocious look from the last crazy scream.
