That Person In That River and Lake

  Chapter 238 Proud Chinese people, mostly righteous indignation

Zhuque Street looks very beautiful in the night. Under the cornices, there are green leaves swaying gently when the breeze blows. Illuminated by the moonlight, they have a silvery and poignant color. Like a fairyland, this bustling Chang'an City It is rare to find an ordinary world here.

The quiet Suzaku Street was broken by the sound of horseshoes, like the first piece of ice before the iceberg collapsed, followed by landslides and ground cracks, and thousands of black imperial guards rushed towards the ambassador of Yan Guo The hotel instantly awakened the silent Suzaku Street. Countless people quietly opened the windows, and some bold ones rushed out with weapons in hand.

The pride of the people of Daxia is especially manifested in the people in Chang'an City. The people here, the people in the world can raise their heads proudly. Moreover, Chang'an City has never banned weapons, so many people's first reaction is to carry knives and guns The sword and halberd rushed out, and some warriors roared directly.

Every place where there is white there is black, and there are many underground gangs in Chang'an City. When the imperial guards came in on Suzaku Street, the first people to respond were a group of well-trained warriors. Hundreds of people were silent. Some of them appeared in restaurants or inns, or maybe on a certain roof, or at a certain alleyway. When they saw that it was the imperial guards, they also left quietly.

   At the same time, more and more people appeared, and someone shouted: "But there are thieves entering Beijing?"

  There were loud discussions and noisy discussions everywhere, and some powerful warriors mobilized their internal strength and shouted loudly: "Is there anyone rebelling?"

  The imperial guards are an army that maintains the order of the entire Chang'an city. These people may not have strong personal force, but they are indeed one of the most elite troops in the world. They are suddenly dispatched in Chang'an city, and the people in Chang'an city cannot help being suspicious.

  Tang Moyi rode his horse to the front, and a cavalryman rushed forward quickly, and saluted cheaply: "Your Highness, the residents in the city are a little noisy, and many warriors have come here upon hearing the news. I am afraid it will cause a sensation. Do you want to disperse it?"

Tang Moyi said in a cold voice: "My people in Daxia are all good men with strong bones. When they come out at this time, they are not here to make trouble. They are worried about the invasion of the enemy. They are here to help. What reason do we have to disperse them, but for the sake of To prevent turmoil, immediately send people to the whole city to announce that the Yan State Mission is worried that the Alliance Conference will lose to us, and they will walk in the summer, and send people to assassinate Tianxia Walking Gu Qingci. Now that the incident happened, the imperial guards were ordered to arrest the Yan State Mission!"

There are more and more people in the streets and alleys, under the eaves outside the buildings, and the Imperial Guards are still orderly. In addition to being well-trained, it is also because although many Chinese people appear, no one blocks the streets to hinder the Imperial Guards from walking. At the same time, dozens of cavalry rushed out in all directions, waving bright red flags.

  As the flag was waved, a high-pitched voice sounded: "The Yan State Mission assassinated my Daxia county son Gu Qingci, and the Seventh Prince was ordered to lead the imperial guards to arrest the Yan State Mission!"

When this news came out, the imperial guards had already surrounded the embassy of the country of Yan, and the people of the country of Xia, who were surging in the night, were making a commotion. Rushing forward, on the roof of the building, there are warriors flying with swords, and in the long street, there are people galloping.

  Many people are yelling: Yan Guo is shameless, surrounds the embassy, ​​and can't let anyone go!

Although Yan State and Xia State are an alliance, in fact, they are only in agreement with foreign nations. On weekdays, the two countries have constant friction. The people of Yan State look down on the people of Xia State. , I feel that Yan people are self-righteous.

In fact, relatively speaking, although the Wu Kingdom is a warlike nation, the two countries that actually had the most conflicts were actually the two countries of Yan and Xia. The relationship between Xia and the two countries became stiff. Even though the two countries have been cooperating for so many years, the people of Xia still don't like the people of Yan.

Six years ago, there was a rebellion in the Xia Kingdom, the court was in turmoil, and the Xia Kingdom was in chaos. At the same time, Beimo took advantage of the fire to loot, suddenly invaded, and went all the way south, directly hitting the Weishui River, and almost opened up half of the Xia Kingdom. The reason was that the Yan Kingdom, which was an ally, suddenly Withdrew, Xia Guo was caught off guard.

In desperation, Emperor Xia Tang Peiyan went to Weishui to negotiate with Beimo Dahan in person, poured wine for Beimo Dahan in person to apologize, and lost countless money and food. The third princess Tang Yun also took the initiative to invite Ying to go to Beimo as a hostage at that time. Only then did he retreat, and Xia Guo was able to recuperate.

The history books record the Weishui Covenant, and the Xia people are more shameful of the Weishui, urging the people not to forget this shame, and strive to be stronger. Although Yan Guo also explained some so-called compensations later, the relationship between the two countries has been repaired, but Mr. Wuque said Let the Xia people remember:

  Forgetting history is tantamount to betrayal, alliance with the betrayer is not forgiveness!

  Mr. Wuque’s words have been transmitted in the Xia Kingdom, so although the Yanxia and Xia countries are allies, the relationship is not good. Although they will not go to war, they will definitely not give up a single cent.

   This also led to the fact that now hearing that the Yan State Mission actually assassinated Gu Qingci, the people in Chang'an City were filled with righteous indignation and rushed to the Yan State Embassy, ​​not allowing them the slightest chance to escape.

  ...

  In the Yan embassy, ​​the atmosphere was very strong, surrounded by thousands of Xia Guo Guards outside, and countless people blocked the streets and alleys.

Tang Moyi rode his horse to the gate of the embassy, ​​and said in a loud voice: "For the purpose of the alliance meeting, the Yan State Mission did whatever it takes to assassinate Gu Qingci, the county magistrate of Daxia and a traveler all over the world. Take the initiative to come out, otherwise, shoot and kill!"

Meng Qi, Princess of Yan Kingdom, stood in front of the window with a pale face. Looking at the situation outside, she was a little dazed. Her body softened and she fell down suddenly. Fortunately, the servant girl next to her was quick to help her, but Meng Qi lightly held her up. Pushing away lightly, with panic in his eyes, he murmured: "How did this happen, why did this happen, how dare they come to arrest me, how dare Xia Guo arrest me in public, isn't he afraid of going to war with my country Yan?"

"Of course they're not afraid!" A serious voice suddenly sounded from outside the door. The son-in-law Xiao Yuhe pushed the door in with a cold face, but the moment he saw Meng Qi, he let out a long sigh and his expression softened. Walking over to support Meng Qi, she said softly, "Qi'er, why are you so confused, this is Xia Guo, why did you go to assassinate Gu Qingci?"

Seeing Xiao Yuhe, Meng Qi suddenly burst into tears, hugged Xiao Yuhe, and cried, "Husband, I'm afraid. I saw that Gu Qingci is too powerful. I'm afraid you won't be able to beat him. I'm afraid that if you fail I'm afraid, Father won't let us be together anymore, I'm really afraid, Husband, I don't want to lose you!"

  ...

In the empty room, Xiao Yuhe hugged Meng Qi tightly, feeling a lot in his heart, took a deep breath, he had a lot to say, and also complained, Meng Qi's assassination of Gu Qingci was hidden from the beginning to the end He didn't know until now that Xia Guo's army had surrounded him.

He was angry with him, because Meng Qi didn't discuss with him at all, otherwise, this matter would never have happened. He didn't know why Meng Qi would do such an unrefined thing, assassinate Gu Qingci in Xia Kingdom, or now At this tense moment, this is a bad move, not only as a last resort, but also should not be done.

   Moreover, the most important thing is that Meng Qi has done such a big thing, yet Xia Guo discovered it, and even failed to do a good job in the aftermath. And Xiao Yuhe's anger is grief and anger. As a flower mystery among the seven mysteries of the world, he is the strongest of the younger generation in the world, and he is also the heir of Linyuan Dongtian among the seven sects and eight sects. Discredited.

This time, Xiao Yuhe was the person in charge of the Yan State Mission. After the news of the assassination of Gu Qingci spread to Jianghu, no one would think that he had nothing to do with it. To assassinate Gu Qingci.

Xiao Yuhe was full of anger, but at this moment, the smoke disappeared, and all she had was helplessness. This woman was her wife, and she did this only because she was afraid of losing him. he!

After a while, Xiao Yuhe reached out and patted Meng Qi gently, and said softly: "Qi'er, it's okay, don't worry, you'll be fine, I'm here, no matter what happens, I'm here of."

  Meng Qi still hugged Xiao Yuhe tightly, her body trembling slightly, her pale face slowly lifted up, and she choked up and said, "Husband, what should we do now?"

  Xiao Yuhe lifted Meng Qi's messy hair slowly, and said calmly: "Don't worry, it's about the national affairs of the two countries, and Xia Guo will not be so rash. You should rest first, calm down, and I will go out to deal with it."

  Xiao Yuhe gently picked up Meng Qi, put her on the bed, called the servant girl to take care of Meng Qi, turned around and went out the door. A guard outside the door was holding a knife, and slowly followed Xiao Yuhe's figure.

  After taking two steps, Xiao Yuhe suddenly stopped, and said calmly: "Yang Er, immediately send a letter from thousands of miles away to inform my master, and also send a message to the royal family!"

A pen with a fine tip, like pure white and flawless ice jade, but very soft, swaying in the wind, the tip of the pen is slender, and the barrel of the pen is like smoke, floating slowly beside Xiao Yuhe, exuding a faint luster, following Xiao Yuhe's movement Moved, a warm qi surged.

  A copybook fell, and Yang Er took it in his hand.

Seeing Xiao Yuhe's letter, Yang Er's pupils widened suddenly, and he said, "Master, you don't need to take all the responsibility. Although Her Royal Highness said it was for you, in fact, I am afraid that the reason is more for the royal family. Court."

Xiao Yuhe looked serious, but calm, and said lightly: "I know, but so what, she is my wife after all, from the moment we got married, everything about her is related to me, even if she stabbed the sky If it breaks, I should still block it for her, even if... I can do my best, even if only a small part of the reason is because of me, even if the royal family is more important in her heart, I am her husband, I have the responsibility Protect her until I die!"

  ...

The night sky was shining with a bright moon, thousands of imperial guards outside the embassy were like a rainbow, and the nearby buildings and streets were full of people. Tang Moyi held a sword, looked up at the sky, looked calm, and slowly looked down at the The stick of incense in front of him burned out with the last bit of fire.

  The incense ash was blown away by the wind, Tang Moyi drew out his long sword, and said sharply: "The imperial guards obey the order, if there is any resistance, shoot and kill, attack!"

Three hundred cavalry took the lead, and rushed in as soon as they clamped their horses. The heavy cavalry broke through the gate, or smashed through the wall with a single knife. The tide generally rushes into the embassy from all directions.

  The horseshoes vibrated, the footsteps were mottled, and the ground began to shake.

The archway collapsed suddenly, the wall was directly knocked down, smoke and dust abounded, and countless bricks and wood piled up like a hill. Hundreds of people in the Yan embassy carried weapons, but their faces were anxious and terrified. Looking at the encircling Xia army, Keep retreating, and finally stop at which attic, no longer retreat!

  Yan State Prince Consort, Xiao Yuhe, the flower enigma among the seven mysteries of the world, appeared. With a flick of his brush, a river suddenly appeared in the night, isolating the Xia State army, and countless dust and sawdust surged up suddenly.

  The river that suddenly appeared seemed to have rolled up a torrent, and the waves kept surging around the last attic, oppressing Xia Guo's army as if it was about to destroy the world.

   Even the imposing Imperial Guard paused at this moment, but it was only for a moment, and the commander of the Imperial Guard shouted: "Kill!"

   Without hesitation, even though the flood was raging in front of us, the imperial guards stepped out, and the sound of rumbling footsteps was like thunder in the sky.

   "Slow down!"

  Xiao Yuhe suddenly put away his pen, and said loudly: "Seventh Prince, I have no intention of blocking it!"

   Also at this time, Tang Moyi shouted: "Stop!"

After hearing Tang Moyi's order, Xia Guo's army stopped immediately and gave way. Tang Moyi walked in slowly with a sword in his hand, looked at Xiao Yuhe, and said, "Xiao Yuhe, what do you say?" ?”

  Xiao Yuhe put away the pen, cupped his hands slightly and said: "I am willing to go with His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince, but my wife is weak, and this matter has nothing to do with her, I hope His Highness can make it easier for me!"

Xiao Yuhe didn't want to quibble, he knew it was completely meaningless, since Emperor Xia had already made such a big commotion, it was impossible to give him any chance to quibble, and no matter whether there was evidence or not, in this country of Xia, even if there was no evidence, The imperial court can also produce evidence, not to mention that those few assassins have not come back so far, which can already explain a lot of things.

"This..." Tang Moyi was stunned for a moment, and said: "I can't decide on this matter, but I can allow the eldest princess to stay here temporarily, and only two maidservants will take care of her. At the same time, I can't leave the embassy. The imperial guards have sealed off this place, as for the rest of the embassy, ​​they will all be taken away!"

"it is good!"

  ...

   There was not a lot of fighting as many people imagined, Xiao Yuhe left directly with Tang Moyi, the huge Yan State embassy was almost in ruins, but the outside was still surrounded by the imperial guards.

In the restaurant not far away, Nie Changliu snorted coldly, and said lightly: "This Xiao Yuhe is really useless, if I were to die, I would fight to the end, and now I didn't even hit him, and just left. What a waste!"

On a roof, Wu Yu looked at Xiao Yuhe who was leaving, shook his head lightly, and said lightly: "Unfortunately, I thought it might be interesting for Xiao Yuhe's prodigal son to turn around, but I didn't expect that he would fall into that woman's body." so deep."

"Oh, really?"

In the dark night, suddenly there was another person beside Wu Yu, a man eating carrots, wearing a brocade robe, but wrinkled, with a scruffy beard so unrecognizable, he quietly appeared behind Wu Yu, and asked: "How does Your Highness know that Xiao Yuhe didn't do this by himself?"

Wu Yu turned around slowly, looked at Ouyang Muhua, without any surprise, and said lightly: "There is no one who is not proud of the seven mysteries in the world, even Xiao Yuhe, the former prodigal son, still will not surrender without a fight, so the assassination of Gu Qing Resignation, it can’t be him.”

Ouyang Muhua shrugged, threw the carrot, and said: "But now, even if he didn't do it, he did it. Forget it, I thought I could come here to fight, but I didn't expect him to directly Give up, go, go home and sleep!"

   "Slow down!"

  Wu Yu suddenly called to stop Ouyang Muhua who was about to leave, and said seriously: "I remember, you also use a gun."

   "That's right," Ouyang Muhua blinked and said, "I do use a gun, what's wrong? Are you going to fight me?"

Wu Yu nodded, and said: "In the country of Yan, there were two great practitioners of the Destiny Realm who came to Chang'an with Xiao Yuhe, but they disappeared now, and Gu Qingci was assassinated. I just received the news that the two great practitioners of the Destiny Realm The victims have become corpses, which means that Gu Qingci killed them."

Ouyang Muhua pursed his lips and said: "So what, it just shows that Gu Qingci's kendo has broken through at some point, it is very strong, grandma's, it is a bit shocking, and he only became a swordsman during the Wangjing battle. Great cultivators, how long has it been since you killed two great cultivators in the Destiny Realm, tsk tsk tsk, there really is a genius in this world."

Wu Yu smiled slightly, and said calmly: "If Gu Qingci hadn't died, I would definitely fight him at the alliance meeting. He can kill two great practitioners in the Destiny Realm. I also want to see if I can beat him." Destiny Realm Great Practitioner!"

  Ouyang Muhua gave Wu Yu a blank look, and said decisively, "I won't fight!"

  Wu Yu was slightly taken aback, and said, "I make an appointment with you!"

   "I don't accept it." Ouyang Muhua waved his hand, and said: "You think I'm stupid, just look at that kid Gu Qingci and you will know that none of you are simple. I'm still young, so I don't want to die, so farewell!"

  ...

In Lantian County, after the Xishan Imperial Guards came here, they searched for Gu Qingci everywhere, and they searched all over the mountains and plains. Among them, the disciples of Qixiufang were also helping to find Gu Qingci. However, at this time, Gu Qingci was severely beaten dropped on the ground.

   Lying on the ground, looking at the woman in the red dress like blood, Gu Qingci slowly got up and sat on the rock, cupped his hands, and said weakly: "Thank you, miss, for helping me!"

  Mu Lixian put the long and one short knives back into the scabbard, looked up at Gu Qingci, and said, "First, I'm not a girl. The second is to save lives, not to save each other."
