Chapter 686 Bewitchment
It was the sixth month of the month, and under the rising clouds, the bustling crowd looked at the procession entering the city under the hot sunshine.
Beigong Shu fearfully followed the swordsman in front of him who was wearing a blue shirt and white robe embroidered with plum blossoms through two streets. On the way, he wanted to take advantage of the crowd of people around to escape, but before he took two steps away, he discovered In the lively crowd around him, similarly dressed figures stared at him.
These people are spies!
Thinking of this, Bei Gongshu's heart beat wildly. He looked at the back of the man leading the way, gritted his teeth, and his Adam's apple rolled up and down as he swallowed saliva.
It was inevitable to ask tremblingly.
"This strong man...who wants to see the common people?"
The figure holding a sword in front of him turned his face slightly: "Don't ask, you will know when you get there."
< br>The slanting look made Bei Gongshu's heart skip a beat, and a flattering smile appeared on his face, "Yes... yes, yes, just don't ask, little one."
His words were deserved. He took a deep breath, but glanced left and right, looking for an opportunity to escape.
When he turned around, Bei Gongshu suddenly turned around and squeezed into a group of people nearby, trying to avoid the spies by taking advantage of the blind spot at the corner and the crowds of people around, and then rushed towards an alley in front of him.
He grew up in Ding'an City. After he was eleven or twelve years old, he hung out with a gang of rogues in the city. He was either chased and beaten for three days, or he molested women from good families, or had property stolen. The streets in the city are very familiar.
Turn around!
Squeezing into the crowd, the moment Beigong Shu raised a smile on his lips, a figure stood in front of him with a backlight, raised his hand and pushed on his shoulder, and the whole person stumbled back to his original position.
That was another secret agent. He pushed Bei Gongshu back and said, "Please don't make it difficult for me to wait." Then he retreated into the chaotic crowd behind him.
I can't leave...
Beigong Shu finally started to panic at this time, and he could only hope that the scoundrels who were playing tricks on him would tell his mother Jiang Wan about this.
Following the spy leading the way, we passed through the bustling crowd watching the excitement, and soon entered a restaurant with blue flags hanging outside the door.
The moment I stepped into the threshold of the restaurant, the noisy noise outside gradually fell away. Walking up to the second floor, it was surprisingly quiet here.
The secret agent leading the way stood aside and motioned Bei Gongshu to the private room opposite the stairs.
He knocked on the door three times, and then heard the gentle voice of a middle-aged man inside calling: "Come in."
Beigong Shu swallowed his saliva, opened the door, lowered his head and walked carefully. Entering, his lowered gaze only saw a pair of black-striped steps under the other party's robe.
“Jiang Shu, a common man, pays homage to this noble man.”
Before knowing the other person’s name and official position, he would naturally address him by the most noble and pleasant title.
However, the middle-aged man opposite said something that made his hair stand on end: "The surname is Beigong, the surname is Beigong. What can you hide?"
Bei Gong Shu's heart suddenly rose to his throat, and he pinched the corners of his clothes nervously with both hands until his joints turned white.
He slowly raised his face and saw a middle-aged man with a thin face, a gloomy appearance, and a half-inch beard looking at him with a serious smile.
Beigong Shu quickly lowered his head.
"The common people...the surname is Jiang...not Beigong..."
"The nobles and nobles of the previous dynasty...why should they hide it from each other."
At the same time that these words reached Bei Gongshu's ears, the other party suddenly walked up to him and held his arms: "Your Majesty, it's easy to find your minister."
Horror flashed in Bei Gongshu's eyes. , hurriedly backed away, turned around and tried to escape from the private room, but the door was immediately banged by the spies outside.
"My lord, why are you looking for me?"
"Don't panic, Your Majesty, I am Li Wen, a minister of the former dynasty. Over the years, I have been looking for traces of Your Majesty's mother and son... ..."
"My surname is not Beigong, my surname is Jiang. Sir, please don't call me anything random."
Bei Gongshu watched the other party bowing to him politely. He waved quickly and did not accept the other party's words at all. "My ancestors all lived in Ding'an..."
"Then why did your mother have the same relationship with the previous dynasty?" The Queen Mother’s name is exactly the same? You know, it’s a serious crime in the previous dynasty and now!”
Li Ru lowered his hand and held Beigong Shu’s waving arm firmly: “What’s more, you and the late emperor! Such a resemblance... How can it be false, Your Majesty... Do you want to know how your father died?"
Beigong Shu, who originally wanted to resist, suddenly stopped and his expression was stunned.
You must know that what he cared about most since childhood was his father... Other children had fathers, but he and his sister Su Ying did not, and they could not even mention him.
He knew that the surname Beigong would bring a lot of trouble, so he did not resist his mother Jiang Wan's decision to let his siblings use their mother's surname.
But what he cares about is how his father Kitamiya died. After all, this has always been a thorn in my childhood. When I asked my mother Jiang Wan, she was scolded, so that I later became rebellious and often stayed away from home and hung out outside. Naturally, I had the purpose of protecting myself.
It would be a lie to say that I was not panicked when I was called out by Li Wen, who claimed to be an old minister of the former dynasty.
What frightens him even more is that the other party has been looking for him and his mother, and his purpose is obviously not that simple.
Seeing that he could no longer pretend, Beigong Shu looked at the other party tremblingly: "My lord, what do you want to do? Just tell me... If Jiang Shu can help, he will definitely not refuse."
Over there, Li Ru twirled the tip of his beard and didn't express any opinion on these words. He just looked at the young man in front of him with a smile.
"Your Majesty, in this regard, you are not as good as your father. The late emperor was talented and resourceful, and his skills were strong. He was a man of words and words in the court, which made people admire him."
Hearing the gentleness of the other party He was talking eloquently, and the young man felt flustered for no reason.
Too dangerous...
This person is so dangerous!
Beigong Shu's face turned pale, he leaned against the door and almost shouted: "What on earth are you going to say?!"
The middle-aged man in front of him did not answer directly, slightly He nodded and continued: "The late emperor worked hard to govern, appointed talents and innovated, and eliminated all the moths in the Yan State in one fell swoop. However, there were so many moths and their power was huge. The eight princes rebelled. Among them, Su Congfang, the Marquis of Ding'an, and his son Su Chen were extremely powerful and refused to accept it. The late emperor reduced his rank and led his army northward... Alas!"
Li Ru stopped, raised his face and sighed.
“Yanjing was captured, the late emperor was captured in the palace, and finally killed by the rebel Su Chen.”
Hearing this, Beigong Shu came to his senses and quickly interjected: "But my mother said that my father died at the hands of the Assassin Cult assassins!"
"That's because your mother is protecting you, so I don't dare Tell you the truth!" Li Ru interrupted him and opened his sleeves: "If you don't say that, Your Majesty might be killed. The Queen Mother committed herself to the thieves and accepted that the late Emperor was killed by the cult. It was all for Your Majesty!"
"What do you mean, my father..."
Bei Gongshu leaned on the door and slid to the ground little by little to sit down, "My father... was killed by His Majesty. "
He is not stupid. He has made guesses for a long time, but he is just not sure.
Moreover, I have known since I was a child that my mother was close to my current emperor. Even in my childhood memories, there are still vague images of King Xia entering and leaving the queen mother's palace.
Thinking of this, his hands clenched into fists, and his not-so-tall body trembled. At this moment, he was mostly convinced that the middle-aged man in front of him was an old minister of his father.
There are not many people who dare to call the current emperor a rebel.
"So what...my father's Dayan is dead."
Beigong Shu opened his fists, opened his slightly pale lips, and made a choked sound: "My mother and I are just common people in Ding'an City now, and the Yan Kingdom has perished."
"Your Majesty is forced to abdicate! We and other officials of Great Yan will never admit it!"
Li Ru took a step forward with a serious and serious expression, "As long as Your Majesty and the Queen Mother are still alive, this Great Yan will not "Death."
He arched his hands and bowed down: "The old ministers of Dayan and the thousands of people who are grateful for their homeland are eagerly waiting for your majesty to regain Dayan!"
Young man! He gradually raised his face and looked at Li Ru with wet red eyes.
"Your Majesty, this Ding'an is the land of dragon prosperity in Daxia, and it may not be your place of dragon prosperity. After all, the dragon pond contains real dragons."
Li Ru said one sentence after another: "It just so happens that the Prince of Daxia is also in Ding'an City. I am willing to help your Majesty restore the country!"
Dong Dong——
Beigong Shu, who was sitting on the ground and leaning against the door leaf, His heart was beating wildly, and it was obvious that Li Ru's words had stimulated him.
He stood up slowly, breathing heavily.
"Li...Mr. Li...are you absolutely sure?"
"The generals here are all my former ministers of the Great Yan Dynasty. I had a good relationship with them when I came. Moreover, there are more high-ranking ministers in the Yanjing court to help me."
Li Ru's eyes were fierce, He stepped closer to the boy, curling his palms into fists in front of him.
"The Emperor of Great Xia is far in the west with his elite troops. Now there are not many soldiers in Yan who can fight, but there is one in the hands of the old minister. He is just waiting for His Majesty's order. He is just waiting for Su Chen to leave the city and ambush him halfway. Take it down and seize Ding'an!"
Like a devil, Li Ru whispered in the young man's ear: "Just like Su Chen, lead the army north to regain Yanjing and settle the world in one fell swoop!"
Beigong Shu swallowed his saliva and was obviously moved.
