Infinite Script Killing

Chapter 958 Storm Pavilion (two chapters in one)

"Worship heaven and earth!"

Just after the New Year in Beidu, a great event ushered in.

Yeluqi's wedding has already been held in a lively manner, and Xiao Leshan assigned Yeluqi the daughter of Prime Minister Asana.

She is three years younger than Yeluqi, but she is already Tingting Lili.

She is also as beautiful as a flower and attracts applause from many princes and ministers.

When the prime minister's daughter marries Yeluqi, there is naturally no enviable love involved, only a marriage of politics and interests.

Anyone who is not an idiot can understand the meaning behind such a marriage.

Yeluqi was originally the crown prince in everyone's mind, and now that he is getting married, Xiao Leshan is also trying to attract political capital to pave the way for his future accession to the throne.

After all, the current emperor is too old, so old that he has no fangs or sharp claws. He only knows how to drink wine and mince meat every day, which is not of much use.

Even Yeluqi's wedding did not come to attend. Instead, Yeluqi's biological mother came in person. As for his father's position, he was replaced by Xiao Leshan.

"Two thanks to Gaotang!"

Yeluqi, who was dressed in a red robe, looked majestic and heroic, and attracted applause from the whole house.

"Oh, in the blink of an eye, the fourth prince has grown so big!"

Some veterans looked at the groom, who was covered in red robes, and couldn't help but sigh: "When the fourth prince was born, the veterans were watching. In a blink of an eye, more than 20 years have passed. Time is not forgiving. If the veterans If you stay a few years younger, you will definitely have to fight for the Fourth Prince for a few more years!"

"Hmph, the defeat of Langshan was all due to Xiao Chi's lack of strategy and extreme stupidity. If it were me, I would definitely take Wu Jie's head as a wedding gift for the fourth prince!"

Everyone's faces turned ugly when they talked about the defeat at Langshan.

In their opinion, the defeat of Langshan was entirely due to Xiao Chi's ignorance. He knew clearly that Wu Jie led his men to attack Liangzhai and did not lead his men to outflank and support him. Instead, the whole army attacked Tiangan camp directly and lost everything.

Even if they suspect fraud and don't go to support, the worst they can do is retreat. It's almost winter anyway, so retreating is reasonable.

Now Xiao Chi was defeated, with countless casualties and the Northern Barbarians' vitality severely damaged. This was all thanks to Xiao Chi.

Xiao Chi's wife, son and daughter have been expelled from the Xiao family, deprived of their Xiao surname, and changed to untouchables.

This result seems to everyone to be well deserved.

Facing the complaints from several ministers, several Han ministers on the small table beside them shook their heads silently.

In fact, everyone knew in their hearts that these old guys were just an afterthought. If they were really allowed to command the army, Wu Jie would probably be happy to set off firecrackers at home to celebrate.

In fact, Xiao Chi's strategy cannot be said to be wrong. It can even be said to be an extremely correct and fatal blow.

Concentrating all the troops and directly killing the Tianqian camp, although it seems to have no skills, is the way to win.

The reason for the defeat can only be said to be the fault of Xiao Chi. It is said that Wanyan Hushui, who was responsible for the lead charge, led his troops to retreat several times. After fighting for a long time, he failed to open the Tiangan camp.

This is like asking the chef to untie the cow. No matter how good his skills are, if you give him a dull knife, there is nothing he can do.

Afterwards, these civil servants who had declared the country conducted deductions. If Xiao Chi had personally gone to the front line to supervise the army, the results might have been completely different.

But this kind of thing, no matter how you say it, is just an afterthought. Who would cry out for a dead man? Everyone wants to step on it more to avoid the fourth prince's reputation being damaged.

"Don't talk about these disappointing things. Didn't you just lose the battle? Are you still afraid that God can't do it? At worst, we can launch a big edict, and all the men in the country can gather another 100,000 troops at any time!"

"Yes, yes, the fourth prince is getting married, let's not say such disappointing things."

Seeing that these veterans were talking more and more wrong, someone quickly changed the topic. A veteran who was trying to smooth things over stared at Yeluqi and whispered, "Look, the fourth prince's demeanor is becoming more and more like the king of the South Campus." ”

Everyone looked at it, don’t tell me, it’s true.

As the old saying goes, a nephew is like an uncle, and the fourth prince's demeanor and posture are indeed somewhat similar to Xiao Leshan.

"Tea!"

At this time, the two newlyweds picked up tea cups and walked up to Queen Xiao and Xiao Leshan.

"Uncle, please have tea."

Taking the tea cup from the bride's hand, Xiao Leshan smiled and nodded, then took out a jade bracelet and gave it to the bride.

Not far away, Di Chou and several other people from the world looked at each other from afar.

That jade bracelet is not jade, it is light pink with a ray of silver light. Anyone with a discerning eye can tell at a glance that this is a rare treasure in the world, pink jade.

It is said that wearing this kind of jade on the body can make a woman stay youthful and immortal.

You see, Queen Xiao is still as beautiful as a flower now, because she has a jade pendant made of pink jade. Such a big jade bracelet is even more extraordinary.

"Uncle, drink tea!"

Yeluqi brought the tea to Xiao Leshan. Xiao Leshan took it and took a sip. He looked at Yeluqi with joy and said, "When we start a family and start a business, I have nothing to give you, so I will give you a name."

After Xiao Leshan finished speaking, he looked outside the door.

At this time, the eunuch outside the door hurriedly walked in, knelt on his knees, and raised the imperial edict in his hand above his head.

Xiao Leshan stood up, took the imperial edict in his hand, and unfolded it. For a moment, everyone stood up and knelt to receive it.

"Holy edict, the fourth prince, Yeluqi, is loyal to the country, his filial piety is touching, and his moral conduct is a model for the world. He is getting married today and has reached adulthood. He is appointed as the crown prince of the East Palace and the crown prince of the country. He is responsible for supervising the state affairs and supervising all officials!"

As soon as the imperial edict came out, everyone was overjoyed.

This imperial edict means that from today onwards, Yeluqi will officially be the crown prince of the Northern Barbarians and supervise the affairs of the country. This is the delegation of power by the old emperor. It means that the prince Yeluqi is not a mere pretender. He will go to the court to supervise the country and handle government affairs. In addition, Xiao Leshan With his support, Yeluqi and the emperor were now just one name apart.

Xiao Leshan sent the imperial edict to Yeluqi, patted him on the shoulder, and said earnestly: "Although we are busy with government affairs, we must not neglect spiritual matters. In a few days, you can go to the Yuanqi Temple to worship the gods on behalf of heaven. "

Yeluqi's face turned red with excitement. He had been waiting for this day for a long time.

He immediately accepted the order and thanked him.

Seeing that Yeluqi had accepted the order and thanked him, all the old ministers hurriedly congratulated Yeluqi and changed their title to Prince.

Yeluqi was really happy now.

He quickly asked everyone to stand up and said some polite words.

Little did they know that at this moment, Eunuch Chang, who was standing aside with the wedding wine, was already happy.

Yeluqi takes charge of the East Palace. Will he have to change his identity? The most important thing is the treasures hidden in the palace from now on: "Hey, this time I really made a profit."

"Huh!"

At this moment, far outside Yecheng, another place, I saw that the teams of Shenwu Camp had already formed two rows, waiting for Xu Fan's motorcade. As soon as the motorcade arrived, they would not stop and set off immediately.

Xu Tong, wearing the muddy cloak, sat with Cao Jun in the pavilion, drinking and talking as a farewell.

At this time, Xu Tong raised his eyebrows slightly and thought to himself: "This guy is really lucky."

Chang Wugu had already passed on the news of Yeluqi's wedding, and Xu Tong had to sigh that it was really enviable to have a good uncle who was awesome and cared about him.

Cao Jun saw that he had a different look on his face and asked, "Is Marquis Wu feeling unwell?"

"No, it's just that I have been taking care of you recently. I'm a little bit reluctant to leave today. I just want to wait for me to come back from my mission and have a drink with Brother Cao."

Xu Tong did not say these disappointing things, but thanked Cao Jun. In the past few days in Yecheng, Cao Jun had treated him sincerely, which made Xu Tong feel good about him.

It's different from Xu Fan's obvious utilitarian gesture.

Cao Jun was almost as fanatical towards Xu Tong, no... I should say towards Yang Hong, like a star-chasing fan.

Therefore, Cao Jun's hospitality to Xu Tong was because he sincerely wanted to treat you well and simply wanted to live a comfortable life.

In fact, it's no wonder that Yecheng is very close to Langshan, only separated by a river. He knows the battle report situation of Langshan best.

Originally, even he was not optimistic about the Battle of Langshan, but he did not expect that he would win a great victory at Langshan. Others did not know many of the details, but Cao Jun knew them, which is why he admired Xu Tong so much.

"Brother Yang, you're too polite. I just hate that I don't have the power to restrain a chicken. Otherwise, I would have gone with my brother to see the scenery of the northern country and kill the majesty of the northern barbarians."

Cao Jun said, raising his wine glass in honor of Xu Tong.

At this moment, a line of carriages and horses in the distance gradually appeared in the field of vision.

The envoy flag was hung in front of the motorcade, and the Xu family's carriage was sitting behind it. Naturally, it couldn't be anyone else.

Seeing that the envoy team had arrived, Xu Tong stood up and said goodbye to Cao Jun.

When parting, Xu Tong had nothing to give to Cao Jun, so he left three Zixiao Thunder God Talisman as repayment.

Then Xu Tong got on his horse, waited for the convoy to pass by, raised his hand to Cao Jun, and rode away.

"Brother Yang, take care along the way!!"

Cao Jun watched the carriage and horse go further and further away. He picked up his robe with one hand and ran forward to catch up for a few steps. However, even his shoes ran away before he stopped, raised his hands high, and raised his hand to Xu Tongyi: "Take care of yourself!!"

Cao Jun looked at the bright red cloak behind Xu Tong waving in the wind, gradually moving away, and then reluctantly turned around and left.

Life is like this. There will always be a few strangers who fall in love with each other at first sight. They meet very late, can't say a few words, and then leave in a hurry...

The motorcade moved forward slowly, and soon passed Langshan Mountain.

The Langshan camp had long since disappeared, leaving only some rotten wood covered with heavy snow. Looking around, the ground was covered with hoarfrost. Not far away, Xu Tong also saw the remains of a vitality chariot standing in the snow.

There were densely packed footprints of wild beasts all around. It was unknown whether the buried corpses were thrown out by wolves or bears, and had been chewed until only the bones remained.

It can be seen that during this period, the wild beasts in the mountains and forests had a winter without starvation.

Xu Tong led people forward, took out the tributes, sprinkled three bottles of good wine, and poured out the money that he had prepared early in the wind.

Soon the mountains and plains were filled with guide money.

"Alas, one general's achievements lead to the death of thousands of bones. I hope the world will be unified soon, and then the soldiers will no longer have to fight."

Xu Fan stepped out of the carriage and couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the wilderness in front of him.

Xu Tong nodded: "I hope this day comes, but there will never be fewer enemies. If you fall behind, you will be beaten. This is something that has not changed since ancient times."

"If you fall behind, you will be beaten. Although this statement is straightforward, it is also the truth."

Xu Fan thought about it, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that this was correct.

Xu Tong glanced at him: "Of course, I paid for it with my life, the bloody truth!"

"Been taught a lesson!"

Xu Fan cupped his hands and remembered these words in his heart.

After a short rest, the team continued on their way. The spring snow had not melted yet, and the group of people walked by leaving a row of dark mud marks on the snow.

According to the normal speed, it will take at least more than half a month to get from Tiangan to the central capital of Beiman.

But Xu Tong and others moved quickly, traveling day and night. Each warrior was riding two horses, and their speed was a few minutes faster than an ordinary team.

On the way, Xu Tong untied the cloak that Cao Jun gave him and put it in the prop book. This cloak was too bright. To pretend to be 13, at least he had to find a place with people. In this barren mountain and ridge, he could not wear it. Being so coquettish is of no use at all.

But having said that, Cao Jun is a good person, and this cloak is even more extraordinary.

【Huntian Cloak】

Rumor has it that it is made of the skin of the Suan Ni, and the wearer can gain the power of the Suan Ni.

Passive skill 1: Auspicious

With auspicious blessings, luck increases by 20%

Passive skill 2: Longwei

After wearing it, your luck will be blessed by a wisp of dragon power, and your luck will not be affected by natural factors such as heaven, earth, time, etc.

Active skill 1: Hun Tian Zhe

By spending 3,000 script points, the cloak can be unfolded to cover the sky within a radius of two kilometers. The luck of everyone under the cloak will be reduced by 30%.

Although this cloak does not have any amazing abilities, it is a rare treasure. Wearing it is equivalent to adding a magic weapon to your luck, and it can also improve your luck. It is a very rare treasure. .

Seeing that they had reached the border of the Northern Barbarians, everyone suddenly fell silent.

desolate!

Looking around, there are broken walls and a mess on the ground.

Even after entering the city, the people in the city had pale faces and dull eyes.

Once upon a time, this place was located along the key roads of Beiman, Tianqian, and Xuankun, and it was considered a fertile land.

Looking around now, it is no longer as beautiful and prosperous as it used to be. As soon as you look on the street, you can see the beggars huddled in the corner, covered with layers of clothes.

These clothes should have been stripped from other beggars who had frozen to death. Only in this way can they survive.

Facing the arrival of Xu Tong and his party, these beggars showed hatred in their eyes.

"Whoosh!"

Suddenly Xu Tong turned his head and saw a stone flying past his eyes. He glanced sideways and saw the child who threw the stone, turned around and ran away.

"presumptuous!"

Ge Zhuo's face darkened and he was about to chase after him, but was stopped by Xu Tong.

Xu Fan's voice came from the carriage: "Brother Yang, get in the carriage. These people are no longer from your hometown."

After the Langshan defeat, the Northern Barbarian warriors who fled back vented their anger on the residents of these border towns.

In their eyes, these humble Han people and Tiangan people are of the same type, and it is natural for them to vent their anger on them.

Ever since, that day, the originally prosperous town became like this.

That's why Xu Fan said that these people are no longer from Xu Tong's hometown. When they hear Yang Hong's name, they will not feel respect or thank Yang Hong for revenge.

Most of them felt that Yang Hong, a bastard, had harmed their family and their relatives, and they wished they could tear Yang Hong into pieces to make them happy.

Xu Tong knew that what Xu Fan said made sense, but he didn't know if it was because Yang Hong, the character he played, had too much hatred between the country and the family in his memory, and now he felt an indescribable feeling of depression.

"stop!"

At this time, a team came galloping in the distance. Xu Tong frowned. This team was not a barbarian soldier from the Northern Barbarians, but a guard composed of Han people.

The leading man held a big knife, glanced at Xu Tong and others with an arrogant expression, spat on the ground, and shouted perversely: "Who is Yang Hong!"

"Be bold!"

Seeing that this man dared to call his general by name, the three thousand cavalry behind him all widened their eyes, and a loud roar rang out, causing the surrounding mountains to shake.

Those old houses that had only broken walls collapsed in an instant.

A terrifying murderous aura filled the air, and the few people who originally looked fierce were suddenly frightened by the roar and their faces turned pale, as if they had fallen into an ice cave.

"I am Yang Hong, who are you? Why are you blocking my way?"

Xu Tong squinted his eyelids, looked up and down at the man in front of him, and asked calmly.

"me……"

Being glared at by three thousand tiger and wolf masters, not to mention that the man was just a mere Taoist, even an enlightened heavenly being would probably be frightened for a while.

After stammering for a long time, I managed to finish the whole thing.

"I have been ordered to ask you to go to the Fengbo Pavilion in the east. My husband is waiting for you here!"

"Your husband, who is your husband? He is worthy of letting my Marquis go to see him. You bunch of bastards, get out of here quickly. Don't think that this is the land of the Northern Barbarians. I'll wait for three thousand cavalry and we'll be there soon." Break through all of you!"

Ge Zhuo held the knife in one hand and his eyes were like lightning.

Now he is no longer the soldier who only knew how to live his life in the past, but a true warrior who has experienced hundreds of battles and fought out from the mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

Coupled with Gu Xibai's training over the past few months, although Ge Zhuo is now only at the level of a Grand Master, the sharp murderous aura bursting out of his eyes is comparable to a sharp knife, a bow and an arrow pointing straight into the heart.

After he cursed angrily, the leading man felt his heart pounding and beads of sweat rolled down his forehead.

But if he rolls back in such despair, I'm afraid there won't be any good fruits to eat. I can only bite the bullet and say: "My husband is a great scholar of the time, Zhou Yasheng, the dean of Zhongdu Academy. On the order of the king, he was with Marquis Shenwu. Feng Bo Pavilion discusses the Tao."

"Zhou Yasheng, Wang Banxian, cats and dogs, get out of here. We are envoys, not here to do business with you."

Gao Zhuo on the side was a little impatient, and he glanced at the few people with gloomy eyes, already planning to turn all of them into living corpses.

But as soon as he said these words, Xu Tong heard a loud and deep sneer in the distance.

"Marquis Shenwu is so majestic. Could it be that when he became someone else's prince, he forgot the etiquette of his hometown and how to be a guest."

Gao Zhuo was about to curse when he heard this.

But Xu Tong stopped him. He actually didn't bother to pay attention to these people, but since the other party started to open the dragon gate formation, if he didn't break in, he would be sorry for the bad energy in his heart at the moment.

Dang even smiled and said: "How dare Yang disobey such kindness."

After that, he motioned to these people to lead the way and led the team to change direction and head east.

"Be careful, this Zhou Yasheng is not a good person!"

Xu Fan stuck his head out of the carriage and whispered to Xu Tong.

Gu Xibai looked back at Xu Fan and asked, "Why is this old man so strong?"

Xu Fan scratched his head: "It's not a question of whether he is strong or not. This person is an old minister of the Xuan Kingdom and later joined the Northern Barbarians. Even the Northern Barbarians have a lot of disdain for the old ministers of the Xuan Kingdom, but whether it is Xiao Leshan or the immediate emperor of the Northern Barbarians, They were all very polite to this person.

Because this man was a great figure in the literary world, a great scholar of his generation, with astonishing talents. It was said that he was already a semi-sage, so he was called Zhou Yasheng! "

Although Confucian saints do not practice Taoism and magical powers, it does not mean that their abilities are poor.

On the contrary, among the six arts of the gentleman, archery and chastity are particularly emphasized, that is, horseback riding and archery, and Confucianism has many masters of swordsmanship.

Although he does not have access to the divine channel method, he is blessed with talent and can follow his words. His strength cannot be compared to that of land gods, but it is still extraordinary.

Although Zhou Yasheng is a semi-sage, it can only be said that he is unlucky. It coincides with the time when Confucianism is in decline. If it were during the heyday of Confucianism, he would have become a saint long ago by borrowing Confucian energy.

Just waiting for Xu Tong to leave with his troops, he saw a huge pavilion in the distance, filled with students inside and outside, waiting for Xu Tong's arrival.

Seeing this, Xu Tong signaled Gao Zhuo and others to wait for him here, then dismounted and jumped onto the pavilion.

The students just felt their eyes flicker, and when they came to their senses, Xu Tongren had already walked into the pavilion.

Suddenly his face darkened and he shouted: "Discourteous!"

Shouting in unison, there was an invisible force pressing on Xu Tong.

This is Confucian talent, and it is also Confucian etiquette.

Unexpectedly, before this force could get close to Xu Tong, Xu Tong's luck was enough to make a roar of a tiger, tearing this talent to pieces.

Xu Tong strode forward, looked around, and saw that the pavilion was already full of people. These people were all old officials of the Xuan Kingdom and scholars, but now they were all gathered here. Obviously, he knew it was not a good thing.

But Xu Tong came here just to vent his frustration and see everyone looking at him eagerly.

Xu Tong glanced coldly and sat directly in front of Zhou Yafu: "Old sir, if you have anything to say, just say it. I'm pressed for time, but I can't listen to you reasoning here."

Xu Tong's attitude made Zhou Yasheng extremely surprised. He thought that this Shenwuhou was, after all, a scholar of their Confucian background, and would not mess with etiquette and rules. He didn't expect him to be so barbaric.

Before Zhou Yasheng could speak, an old minister on the side was the first to speak out: "You arrogant person, you don't know that everything in the world is inseparable from the word truth. As a junior, you are acting so perversely, you..."

"Snapped!"

Before the man finished speaking, Xu Tong gently raised his hand, and everyone heard a loud bang in their ears. The old minister flew out of the pavilion like a kite with its string broken, and rolled down the pavilion.

At this moment, everyone was stunned. They didn't expect Xu Tong to dare to take action.

Xu Tong curled his lips and saw the horrified expressions on everyone's faces, and said unhurriedly: "The world is big and the earth is big, and the truth is the greatest. This is true, but there is a saying that when a scholar encounters a soldier, there is a reason. I don’t know, but trying to reason with a general who is leading an army doesn’t make sense in itself, it’s called gongda deceiving the truth!”

After speaking, Xu Tong shook his neck and tilted his head lazily. After looking around at everyone, he said calmly: "The next one."
