Chapter 116

To deal with King Yu's rebels, Ling Rucheng acted first and then paid respects. After ambushing the rebels, he sent envoys to the rebel camp to inform King Yu that Princess Huayang would hold peace talks with him tomorrow.

As night fell, in King Yu's camp, King Jing and his coach Guo Jixian were there.

After only one defeat, Guo Jixian looked grave, King Jing looked ugly, and King Yu was frightened.

In the past few days, the army was invincible, King Yu dreamed that he sat on the dragon chair, but today was defeated, King Yu's dream turned into a nightmare in an instant.

After the court envoys left, King Yu looked at the official document in his hand, and his small eyes, which were squeezed by fat on his face and almost turned into two slits, quietly glanced at King Jing. Although he didn't say anything, he flinched.It has been clearly expressed.

King Jing sneered: "Nephew, does it mean that Empress Dowager Qi is really willing to let you go?"

King Yu murmured, "It's clearly written in this document. If she dares to break her promise, won't the people of the world cast aside her?"

King Jing: "My nephew is so naive. Empress Dowager Qi is used to using this kind of trick. Believe it or not, my nephew, if you really surrendered, Empress Dowager Qi will naturally act hypocritically in front of the ministers, but those civil servants will scold you to death with spitting stars."Drowning you, they will use their three-inch tongue to beg the Queen Mother Qi to punish you. At that time, the Queen Mother Qi has a step, how can she give you a way to survive?I will put you in confinement, and she will send you to the underground to reunite with the late emperor and his son without her having to do it herself, suggesting that the people below can do some tricks."

King Yu: ...

He looked at Guo Jixian again.

Guo Jixian agreed with King Jing's intention. If he surrenders at this time, maybe King Yu still has a way to survive. As a traitor, he will definitely end up killing the nine clans.

"Victory or defeat is a common matter for military strategists. You don't have to worry about it. You still have 170,000 troops under your command. As long as you defeat Ling Rucheng's 100,000 troops and pass Wuyi, you can continue to go north. Capital City is at your fingertips."

Guo Jixian suggested King Jing to retreat before, but now there is no way out, so he can only face the difficulties.

Deep down in his heart, Guo Jixian also wanted to see who would win when he confronted Ling Rucheng.

King Yu was persuaded by the two: "What about the peace talks tomorrow?"

King Jing: "What kind of peace talk is nothing more than saving face. Princess Huayang can persuade you to surrender, and you can also persuade her to abandon the dark and turn to the bright. She should be the first emperor's own flesh and blood, and Prince may not be. You tell her not to be a person with a foreign surname."With all my heart and soul, I surrendered my ancestors' land to others."

King Yu's eyes lit up: "Yes, if she is willing to order Ling Rucheng's army to join me, then what have I to fear?"

King Jing: ...

I don't have much brains, but can have sweet dreams!

Between Hu'er Mountain and Wuyi County is a flat and vast area.

The next morning, the 170,000 rebel army led by King Yu and the 100,000 army led by Ling Rucheng met head-on here.

The distance between the two armies is one mile, and a canopy has been erected in the middle, and a tea table and two seats have been placed.

Here Hua Yang rode a horse and led Chen Jingzong and Ling Rucheng to Huagai, while King Yu also brought King Jing and Guo Jixian to the middle.

Soon, the six met under the canopy.

Chen Jingzong dismounted first to help Hua Yang.

Hua Yang is noble, and King Yu is too fat, so Guo Jixian had no choice but to come to help him.

King Yu stood firm and looked straight at Hua Yang who had already walked under the canopy. She was dressed in white and looked more elegant and refined, as if Chang'e descended to earth.

King Yu thought to himself, it would be best if Hua Yang wasn't the late emperor's own flesh and blood, and when he succeeds, he will be the first to pamper Huayang.

"I haven't seen you for many years, but my sister is still so handsome."

Pushing away Guo Jixian, King Yu walked towards Hua Yang with a smile.

Hua Yang looked at King Yu in disgust.

She remembered that before King Yu became a feudal clan, although he was also fat, he was just ordinary rich, and he could still see the demeanor of a prince on his face. Why is he fat like a pig now?

"Father's bones are not cold yet, yet Brother Wang can smile so brightly. It can be seen that you don't take Father's attention at all. No wonder you dare to send troops to rebel."

King Yu was startled by the scorn and disdain in her eyes, and became embarrassing.

In fact, since he was a child, his elder brother has never successfully displayed his elder brother's spectrum in front of Huayang. Every time he met, Huayang looked at him like a grasshopper, and his contempt was carved into his bones.Although King Yu was not happy, after a long time, he felt nothing. Who made Hua Yang look like a fairy, even his father didn't have the majesty of being an emperor in front of her.

Just now when they met King Yu, he was at a disadvantage. King Jing sneered, looked at Hua Yang and said, "The cause of death of the late emperor is unknown, and the king of Yu came to Beijing to seek justice for the late emperor."

Hua Yang looked at him, and said coldly: "I'm talking to King Yu, what are you, you dare to interrupt?"

King Jing: ...

King Yu hurriedly introduced: "Hua Yang must not be rude, this is Uncle King Jing."

When King Jing became a feudal clan, Hua Yang hadn't been born yet, so how could she recognize him?

In his previous life, Huayang knew about King Jing, and when King Yu was captured in the capital, he kept saying that King Jing had instigated him, but King Jing had already died in battle at that time, and Guo Jixian made a confession at Jin Yiwei that King Yu was the chief envoy.At that time, King Jing, like the other vassal kings who assisted King Yu in the rebellion, confiscated all their property and abolished the throne, and all the subordinate clans were abolished as common people.

However, for the court, there is not much difference between King Yu and King Jing who is the mastermind. Except for King Jing who died in battle, the other princes all ended up beheaded.

At that time, Hua Yang was attacked by the death of her father and Chen Jingzong one after another, and she stayed in the Eldest Princess’s Residence all day long. She only needed to know that the court had won and the rebels had lost, and she didn’t care too much about the rest.When she regained her mood, the people around her would hardly mention the rebellion for fear of arousing the melancholy of her deceased husband.

Seeing King Jing at this time, his strong and mighty face was full of light, Hua Yang had a faint feeling that King Yu was probably provoked by King Jing.

But this is not important, because the outcome of this war has already been decided, and under the advance arrangement of the father-in-law and mother-in-law, King Yu and King Jing will only lose faster in this life.

The only thing she has to do is to save Chen Jingzong's life.

Without paying much attention to King Jing, Hua Yang sat on the chair and directly persuaded King Yu to surrender.

King Yu listened carefully, and when Hua Yang stopped talking, he said unwillingly to show weakness: "Sister, don't be fooled by Empress Dowager Qi and Chen Tingjian, the two of them have long been living together among the people..."

He had just said this when Chen Jingzong, who was standing behind Hua Yang, suddenly rushed over, across the table, and punched King Yu's extremely fat face with a punch!

King Yu didn't respond at all, he was overturned directly to the ground, and the chair legs and his two legs were lifted high towards the sky.

King Jing was stunned, Guo Jixian was the first to react, and suddenly pulled out the saber from his waist!

Ling Rucheng also drew his sword, and looked at Guo Jixian regretfully: "I've heard about Brother Guo's reputation for a long time, but I didn't expect it to be like this when we first met."

Guo Jixian avoided his gaze and looked at King Yu who was holding King Jing's arm and screaming again and again. He smiled wryly, put away his saber, and lowered his eyes: "It's useless to talk, see you on the battlefield."

After speaking, he joined hands with King Jing to help King Yu's bloated body onto the horse's back.

Chen Jingzong also helped Hua Yang up.

Hua Yang caught a glimpse of blood on the back of his hand.

Chen Jingzong also noticed that when Hua Yang sat down, he casually rubbed against his body.

Hua Yang didn't say anything.

If Chen Jingzong hadn't acted in time, King Yu would only spit out more filthy words, and pouring dirty water on his mother-in-law and father-in-law would also put her in the same embarrassing situation as Chen Jingzong.

Peace talks between left and right are all a matter of face, if it is torn up, it will be torn up, and then it will all be done with swords and guns!

The two armies clashed, and Hua Yang's long princess car temporarily took refuge in Wuyi County.

Guo Jixian did not expect that the 50,000 reinforcements from the imperial court had arrived, so he suffered a defeat. This time, he was well prepared. In addition, Ling Rucheng had 70,000 fewer soldiers. In the first two days, the rebels occupiedAdvantage.

Afterwards, more than 50,000 soldiers from the three prefectures of the Daming Mansion finally arrived, and flanked Ling Rucheng's army back and forth, catching the rebels by surprise.

After the rectification, Guo Jixian still wanted to break through Wuyi and continue northward, but several attempts ended in failure.

Now, not only many rebel soldiers turned to the court barracks one after another, even King Yu was frightened to shame.

King Jing finally accepted Guo Jixian's original proposal and withdrew his troops, passing through He Nan and Huguang, and entering Shu to temporarily avoid the edge.

King Yu didn't want to go, but his words didn't work at all, and he was completely reduced to King Jing's prisoner, leaving all the beauties, maids and eunuchs behind.

Of course Ling Rucheng wanted to lead his troops to hunt him down.

Before setting off, Chen Jingzong rode back to Wuyi County, came to the post station where Hua Yang was temporarily staying, and said to her: "The peace talks can't be reached, and you don't need to stay here anymore. Take Zhou Ji and the others back to Beijing later.".”

He was wearing armor, he was panting, his face was dripping with sweat, he didn't intend to stay longer, and he would return to the barracks only after Hua Yang agreed.

Hua Yang calmly asked, "When are you leaving?"

Chen Jingzong: "Take an hour's rest at most."

Hua Yang looked at Zhou Ji: "Prepare the chariots and horses immediately, we will continue to accompany the army."

Zhou Ji was slightly surprised, but he didn't question anything, and went out to prepare.

Chen Jingzong looked at Hua Yang in disbelief: "You still want to join the army?"

Hua Yang: "I joined the army not only for peace talks, but also to supervise the army on behalf of my younger brother and mother to boost the morale of the soldiers. When I go back at this time, the soldiers thought I was afraid, so they ran away."

Before Chen Jingzong could speak, Hua Yang continued: "I know you don't want me to suffer hardships with the army, but I have already suffered all the hardships that should be suffered, and I am used to it. I will stay. In the future, if the counter-insurgency wins, I can still share a portion of it."Earn credit for your credit, and leave now that the peace talks are defeated, so disheartened, wouldn't it appear that I am useless?"

Chen Jingzong's eyes became complicated: "Just for the glory, you don't even care about the danger on the battlefield?"

Hua Yang glanced at him and smiled: "It's not just for the glory, I didn't tell you before I set off, I joined the army because I was worried about you, and I have to see with my own eyes that you are safe and sound before I can rest assured."

It's no wonder that Chen Jingzong believed it, it's just that she insisted on going and didn't want to argue with him, so she used such sweet words that sounded like lies to perfuse him.

He was so angry that he walked around the main room a few times, and suddenly looked at Wu Run, who had been standing by the side all the time: "She has never experienced the danger of the battlefield, and she is bold and reckless, so you won't persuade her?"

Wu Run lowered his eyes, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "The princess treats her son-in-law very affectionately, and the slaves know that they can't stop them, so why bother talking."

Chen Jingzong: ...

The master and the servant poured ecstasy soup on him together, right?

"You step back first, I have something to say to the princess alone."

After the irritability passed, Chen Jingzong said suddenly.

Wu Run looked at the princess, saw the princess nodded, and took Chaoyun and Chaoyue out.

Chen Jingzong closed the door, turned around, and came straight to Hua Yang.

Hua Yang could smell his blood and sweat, and even the smell of dust, mixed together in a mess.

She covered her mouth and nose with a handkerchief, and looked up at him.

Chen Jingzong suddenly grabbed her shoulders and lifted her up easily.

Hua Yang was so shocked that the handkerchief in his hand fell off, and he tried his best to keep the distance between them, so as not to let the blood on his armor stain his white dress.

"What are you doing?" she asked angrily.

Chen Jingzong looked at her white and tender peony-like face, his throat rolled, and he said in a hoarse voice: "For me, you are not even afraid of the danger outside, but you are afraid of this little dirt?"

Hua Yang: "These are two different things at all!"

Chen Jingzong: "I don't care. You just say whether you will return to Beijing or not. If you don't return, I will be deeply moved by your love. Once I am moved, I can't help but kiss you."

As he spoke, he gradually approached Hua Yang's face.

Hua Yang pushed him with all his strength.

Chen Jingzong directly pulled her into his arms, and tightly bound her arms: "I'll ask you one last time, will you go back?"

Hua Yang no longer cared about the skirt on his body, met his threatening eyes, and then looked at his ashen face, Hua Yang gritted his teeth, and closed his eyes as if he was dead: "You can kiss if you want, anyway, I won'tgo back."

Chen Jingzong: ...

He really wanted to kiss, but he was really afraid that she would vomit and would never give it to him again.

In this battle, Chen Jingzong was completely defeated by her.

Since he couldn't convince her, Chen Jingzong had to wait a while longer in the county seat until Hua Yang took Chaoyun and Chaoyue into the carriage, and then Chen Jingzong followed on horseback, and accompanied her to the direction where the army was stationed.

It was not long after noon, and the sun was so hot that the weeds on the ground were wilting.

Sweat dripped down his face again, Chen Jingzong didn't bother to wipe it off, he just looked at her car window.

The princess, who is extremely delicate, suddenly wants to join the army even if she is not afraid of hardships. The more Chen Jingzong thinks about it, the more he feels wrong.

She has some strange abilities, as if she can predict the future, of course not everything is like this, for example, if she had been able to predict who he is, she would not have agreed to the Queen Mother's marriage proposal.

Chen Jingzong can only guess based on previous experience that a major event will definitely happen in this counter-insurgency, a major event that she will change even if she wrongs herself.

Who deserves her?

In Chen Jingzong's mind, several faces appeared one after another, some old and some young.

He gripped the reins tightly.
