Chapter 251 The last day of the January period
Before they even had time to say the words "something is wrong", suddenly, the same voice as before sounded above their heads, and they felt something bad in their hearts. When they looked up, they just See the cold light all over the sky as dense as rain, and there are countless arrows!
With a sound of brush, the cold light fell down, shooting these people into sieves, and blood and flesh immediately spattered, completely dyeing the entire mountain road red!
The mantis stalks the cicada, followed by the oriole.
These people never thought until they died that while they were staring at the prey, they also became the prey.
And on the top of the mountain, from the direction where the arrows were flying, several figures slowly appeared at this moment. Among them, the tallest and strongest one, which was shocking to see, was the one who should have been crushed to pieces in the carriage. At this moment But the Duke of Sheng, Yu Wenyuan, was safe and sound.
I saw him coldly lowering his head and glanced at the miserable situation below, without any emotion, and just asked: "Are there any remaining party members?"
Following him was Deputy General Da Thin.
He said: "There is more."
After saying that, he waved his hand, and their subordinates immediately grabbed a few people and walked up. It was the leader who had just ordered to kill the coachman. To avoid future troubles. When they saw the tragic situation on the mountain road, and saw Sheng Guogong standing in front of him with his hands behind his back, looking awe-inspiring and majestic, they were so frightened that their legs became weak. Several people knelt on the ground and begged for mercy: "My lord, please spare my life." , Lord, spare your life!”
Yu Wenyuan glanced at them from the corner of his eyes.
Then he said: "Who sent you here?"
A few people looked at each other and hesitated to speak.
Yu Wenyuan sneered and said: "Actually, even if you don't tell me, I know it. Asking you is just to give you a chance to survive."
"..."< br>
"Since you don't cherish it, then-"
As soon as he finished speaking, the guard next to him drew his sword to kill.
The few people were so frightened that they immediately kowtowed and begged for mercy. One of them quickly said: "Your Majesty, spare your life. We are, yes, the people of General Youtunwei..."
The others Everyone nodded again and again.
Dabo immediately frowned. His expression was solemn, and he wanted to ask again, but before he could say anything, he heard a loud sound, and it was Yu Wenyuan who pulled out the sword in his hand and raised it. Wave your hand!
The man's head flew up immediately, and blood splashed all over the ground.
The other captured gangsters were stunned, but before they could react, Yu Wenyuan had already turned his back and said in a deep voice: "Behead."
The guards took the order , immediately drew the sword out of its sheath, and only heard a few swipes. Those people didn't even have time to scream, and their heads were missing. Suddenly, the small foothold on the top of the mountain was covered with corpses.
Dabo stood aside, too shocked to speak.
It’s not because the scene in front of him is too tragic. He is also a soldier. He has seen countless more tragic situations on the battlefield. However, what he is worried about is another thing. .
After thinking again and again, he turned to Yu Wenyuan and said: "Why did the Duke want to kill them? What they said was obviously something to hide."
Yu Wenyuan said: "I just want to be hidden by them."< br>
“…!”
Da Bo opened his eyes wide in shock. After thinking about it again, he understood immediately.
He admired the Duke of Sheng in front of him so much that he hurriedly raised his hands and said: "The Duke is thoughtful and thoughtful, and my subordinates can't wait."
Yu Wenyuan was not affected by his words. The expression on his face was still calm and indifferent, and he ordered: "Pack a few heads and send them back to General Youtunwei's house."
A few. The soldier took the order, picked up a few heads and went down.
Da Bo said again: "My lord, let's go on next -"
Yu Wenyuan said: "Let them clean up below and don't disturb the people passing by. Let's continue on our way."
“Yes.”
Soon, the group of people cleaned up the wreckage, then sped north and disappeared.
At the same time, the boxes containing the bloody heads were quickly returned to Dongdu City and placed at the gate of the palace under the night, which naturally caused quite a shock.
So, at dawn, the warm dock in Ziwei Palace was already brightly lit.
The air is still filled with an indescribable intoxicating fragrance. The whole hall is warm and cozy, and the gurgling underground warm springs give people the illusion of being in spring.
But Wang Shaoji was kneeling outside the screen, feeling a slight chill on his back.
After a while, a lazy voice came from the inner hall. It was Chu Yang who stretched lazily, and then said: "So, all the people sent out were wiped out?"
Wang Shaoji lowered his head and said: "The humble minister is incompetent."
"Not even a living person can do it. Not staying? "
"Yes. Although His Majesty told these people to just find out the background of Duke Sheng, Duke Sheng killed him and none of the people he sent survived."
< br>"Then Duke Sheng, do you know that these people are all Imperial Guards?"
"He, it's better not to know."
"Oh? Why did Aiqing say this?"
Wang Shaoji raised his head, with a cold look in his hanging eyes. Guang said: "Although the Imperial Guards obey orders from minor ministers, they are His Majesty's people. If Duke Sheng Guo knew the identities of these people, he would show no mercy. In other words, in his heart, there is no Your Majesty at all!"
The inner hall was quiet for a while.
After a while, Chu Yang's voice sounded again: "Where were those heads sent?" "Outside the gate of Weichen's house."
"Then do you think he knew it or didn't know it?"
"I don't dare to lie."
Although he said "I dare not lie", the king Shao Ji's eyes flickered, and he continued: "It's just that, in the eyes of Wei Chen, Come on, your majesty has been extraordinarily merciful to the Yuwen family this time. If they still do not hesitate to be blessed, then there is no need for your majesty to show any mercy to them."
Chu Yang said in a deep voice. Said: "You mean——"
A trace of ruthlessness flashed in Wang Shaoji's eyes, and he said: "Support the troops to respect themselves, deceive the king, and ignore the superiors. I will kill the whole family!"
"The whole family...?"
These two words Chu Yang's heart skipped a beat, and at this moment, he raised his head and couldn't help but look at the large carpet spread in the inner hall, marking the location of the Western Region.
There seemed to be a figure standing there.
Delicate and beautiful, her whole body exudes a reassuring and tranquil atmosphere.
Thinking of this, Chu Yang's eyes seemed to have a touch of tenderness, and then he said lightly: "Okay, I understand. You can go down."
Wang Shaoji was stunned: "Your Majesty?"< br>
Chu Yang said: "I have other things to think about, so you go down first. Since Sheng Guogong is the The return of the head to your house at least proves that he does not think and does not dare to think that I let people test it. As long as he is still loyal to me and fears me, then the Yuwen family will still have a chance to survive. . ”
Wang Shaoji’s brows were twisted into knots, and he felt even more unwilling.
After all, this time he went into danger, even risking the crime of deceiving the emperor and letting his men kill Duke Sheng. But in the end, he only got the emperor's words: "The Yuwen family is still alive." "The opportunity to go down", how did he accept this?
However, Chu Yang didn't seem to want to say anything more. On the translucent screen, he could be seen lying down lazily.
Wang Shaoji gritted his teeth and finally could only say: "Wei Chen, please retire."
After saying that, he left with hatred.
After he left, Chu Yang was lying on the bed, looking at the top of the hall, his eyes flickering. For a moment, there seemed to be gentle warmth flowing, and for another moment, it seemed to be condensed by ice, with complicated emotions. Eventually it was replaced by a feverish mood.
He suddenly turned over and sat up, looking at the map at his feet again.
To the northeast, there was an existence that was always like a thorn in his heart - Gouli Country!
He shouted loudly: "Here comes someone!"

As if overnight, the thick clouds that shrouded Dongdu City disappeared. It was rare that the weather cleared up and the weather was fine for several days.
This morning, Shang Ruyi got up early.
However, Yu Wenye got up earlier than her. Although he was resting, he did not slack off at all. In addition to reading military books and reading maps at home during the day, he also got up early every morning to practice swordsmanship. Shang Ruyi could do it while washing. Hear the sound of wind waving swords in the yard.
When she sat in front of the dressing table to comb her hair, Yu Wenye came in from outside, wiping her sweat.
As soon as he came in, he turned to look at her.
Shang Ruyi also looked at him from the bronze mirror. He originally wanted to smile back at him, but for some reason, his face felt a little hot and he lowered his head subconsciously.
Today is his last day of rest.
It's also the last day of January.
He was practicing the sword like this, and it was obvious that the injury was no longer a problem...
Looking at Shang Ruyi's somewhat red cheeks, Yu Wenye's eyes seemed to have a flash of light, but it didn't What to say, I went to wash my hands on my own, only to look back and see the hair After her bun was done, but Tu Sheer only brought her a simple beaded hairpin, he couldn't help but said: "Where are the jewelry your mother gave you?"
"Leave it."
"What are you leaving it for? Take it out and take it with you."
"But, at home, it doesn't have to be so grand, right?"
Yu Wenye said: "Today, you go out with me."
Shang Ruyi looked back at him: "Where are you going? ?”
Yu Wenye narrowed his eyes slightly, suddenly seemed unhappy again, and turned away. On the contrary, Tu Sheer happily took out the box of jewelry given by Guan Yunmu and said happily: "My uncle is right, the weather is so nice, it's time to go out for a walk. Miss, you too, put these jewelry away If you don’t wear it, it will be wasted.”
After that, I put makeup on her one by one.
After a while, his hair was covered with pearls and emeralds, making him look extraordinarily luxurious.
Shang Ruyi seldom dressed up in such a grand way. He was a little uncomfortable looking at the radiant self in the mirror. Just after taking a look, Wuxue walked in from the outside and said: "Young madam, the second young master has already Someone has prepared the carriage and asked you to go out quickly.”
< br>"What?"
Shang Ruyi was a little stunned. He didn't know why he moved so quickly, but he could only dress up in a hurry. When he walked out of the door, he saw that, sure enough, the carriage stopped at the door, and Mr. Mu When he helped her into the carriage, Yu Wenye was sitting inside with his eyes closed.
Calm and calm, like a Buddha.
Shang Ruyi thought for a while, then leaned towards him and whispered: "Where are we going?"
