Governor please stay

Chapter 38 Face like crown jade, heart like Shura
The road of life is very long, it seems that there is no end to it.

But the key steps in life are often only a few steps. Once you make a mistake, there is no chance to start again.

Back then, Yu Jin chose to surrender at the critical moment of being wanted, and persuaded the Queen Mother with "a clear sense of righteousness", and was finally awarded an official position and made great progress.

It sounds like a lucky moment.

However, where are there so many fairy tales in the world?If the Empress Dowager Hu could listen to her advice, why would she fall into the end of betrayal like today?
Back then, Yu Jin was not trying to persuade the Queen Mother, on the contrary, it was the Queen Mother who was trying to persuade Yu Jin to join him!
For the sake of ideals and survival, Yu Jin compromised.Of course, his compromise is also principled, he only acts as a dog, not a face-to-face.

Now, Yu Jin still has a delicate feeling in his heart when he wants to personally pull Queen Mother Hu off the horse, or even send her to the guillotine.

The torch-lighted team rushed towards Heyang Pass like a long dragon. Liu Yishou and Yu Jin, who were at the front of the team, faced the darkness of the road ahead and the stars in the night sky.

The woods and thorns on both sides looked hideous and terrifying. I don't know what kind of poisonous snakes and beasts are hiding inside.

Just like the mood of the two of them at the moment.

"What are your plans in the future? I think you don't seem willing to work under Er Zhurong's command."

Yu Jin asked in a low voice.

"The ways are different, and we don't conspire with each other. I see the factions in the six towns, and they don't look like me. Forcibly kneading, everyone feels uncomfortable and needs to accommodate each other. It's better to get together and disperse."

Liu Yishou said with a sigh.

This wave can probably easily gain a high position under Er Zhurong's command.But he has no roots, nor was he from Six Towns.

Entering cannot integrate into the officialdom of the Northern Wei Dynasty, and retreating cannot integrate with the grassroots of the six towns.

This is not going up or down, and there is no future at all.Of course, you can also pinch your nose and hug Yuan Ziyou's thigh, maybe Yuan Ziyou's head gets hot and he might throw a few bones.

It's just that this road is not easy to walk, or even impossible.Look at Yuan Ziyou's behavior, it's really bad.Or too out of touch.

As long as someone from a non-family background is worthless in his eyes, this kind of person may still be able to get along in peacetime, "why not eat minced meat".

Once the situation in the world is turbulent and Yuan Ziyou is in a high position, he is the easiest to die.

Thinking about it, the future is really bleak.

"No matter how miserable you are, it must be worse than when I was wanted by Queen Mother Hu." Yu Jin smiled wryly, that was really the biggest crisis in his life.

This matter was full of humiliation at the beginning, thinking about it, Yu Jin was a little bit heartbroken, so he didn't continue this topic.The atmosphere between the two was a little silent.

The shadow of Mang Mountain in the distance looks layer upon layer, with an indescribable sense of mystery and majesty.

"I don't know how many emperors and generals are buried there. Others laugh at me for being too crazy, and I laugh at others for not being able to see through. I don't see the tombs of heroes in the five tombs, and there are no flowers and no wine to hoe the fields, alas."

Liu Yishou let out a long sigh, and borrowed a line from Tang Bohu's poem by the way.

Yu Jin secretly smiled in his heart, the handsome guy next to him has talent, but he also has no character and ability, he is just a little passive and withdrawn from the world.

Or it can be called seeing through the world of mortals.

Of course, this kind of thinking is not only not special at this time, but extremely popular.When Liu Yishou was as old as Liu Yishou, many officials' sons actually became monks. Another way of saying it is "enlightenment of Buddhism".

Some of them actually became eminent monks in the end.Who should I ask for reason?
But looking at Liu Yishou's unreasonable lethality towards young women, this person's luck is frighteningly strong, and it's probably hard to break up with the world.

Some complicated thoughts turned in my mind, and Yu Jin asked in a deep voice: "Brother Yishou, have you figured out how to break through?"

"Think about it, I am enough alone."

Liu Yishou said calmly.

Lying in a groove!

Yu Jin was so frightened that the saber on his waist almost fell off.It's not that he doesn't believe in Liu Yishou's ability, but that it's hard for a clever woman to cook without rice, and she has to break through alone, unless the Heyang Gatekeeper is Liu Yishou's father, it's almost the same.

"Brother, although we don't talk about ruthlessness in military law, how are you going to break through? Just one person... how do you do it?"

Yu Jin simply doubts life. With his clever mind, he can't break through alone. How can Liu Yishou be able to do it?
"I'll go first. If I fail, I'm sure I'll die on the spot. When the time comes, you can use your own method." Liu Yishou said in a very bold and bold manner.

It seems that it can only be so.

Yu Jin nodded slightly, noncommittal.In fact, he wanted Yuan Ziyou to join him, but after seeing Yuan Ziyou today, and seeing this person's demeanor, words and deeds, he gave up this idea.

It's no problem for this person to be a mascot, after all, Yuan Ziyou's looks are not bad.But... Yu Jin doesn't know whether to speak or not!This guy is definitely not able to support the wall with mud.

It may be difficult for him to get things done.But if you mess things up, it might be the first class.Yu Jin could put his life on the gamble of Liu Yishou, but he never dared to expect people like Yuan Ziyou to perform normally at critical moments.

Don't even think about performing supernormally. Now the Yuan family has fallen as a whole. Except for the girls from the Yuan family who are becoming more and more beautiful because of the endless beauties of their mothers, the others are simply inferior to each other.

"Then it's up to you later?"

Yu Jin suddenly felt that sometimes it was not necessarily a good thing for a partner to be too responsible.

"follow me!"

Liu Yishou uttered a bird's cry.

"what?"

"I mean, just wait and see. If you want to fight for your life, I, Liu, will be the first to go. Since I suggest you escort Yuan Ziyou to Heyang Pass this time, then I will definitely cover you , I won’t pull you back, don’t worry.”

Liu Yishou patted Yu Jin's thick shoulder and said.

"Hey, you are really..."

Yu Jin couldn't help showing a smile, his heart relaxed, and the gloomy atmosphere just now seemed to be swept away.

He didn't know how many dangers he had experienced in the frontier army, and it was the first time he heard that someone was going to "cover" him.

Does he still need someone to cover him?

Liu Yishou certainly looked down on him too much.

……

The sky is already slightly bright, very similar to the sky in the old ghost movies of Liu Yishou's previous life, the sky is overcast, the outline can be seen, but the details are not clear.

In front of everyone is a very strong floating bridge called a floating bridge, but it is actually a very spacious floating bridge that is a permanent bridge. Both sides are connected by iron locks, which looks very strong.

I don't know when the bridge collapsed, but when Yu Wentai and Gao Huan fought in Luoyang, it still stood upright.

On the opposite side of the pontoon bridge, there is a pass built on a sandbar, which is the famous Heyang Pass.The Luoyang locals collectively refer to the floating bridge and Heyang Pass as "Heqiao".

Yu Jin glanced at Liu Yishou solemnly and said, "Brother, this time it's up to you."

At this time, Yuan Ziyou, Li Yu and others also surrounded him, not to mention those girls, Yuan Juli almost cried into tears.

"Don't worry, everything is easy to talk about, by the way, where is Yuan Shikang?"

Liu Yishou called out.Soon, Yuan Shikang came over with the black bag, and handed it carefully to Liu Yishou.

"Brother, you keep the knife for me."

Liu Yishou handed the knife to Yu Jin, and everyone froze in fright.

Going to the meeting alone, people still bring a knife!You are going to pass the level empty-handed, you are not playing Street Fighter!

As if aware of everyone's doubts, Liu Yishou sighed lightly: "Where there is a knife, there is a threat. Maybe the bows and arrows at the top of the city will shoot me to death. Without a knife, people can't lift their bows and arrows. I am really better than Mount Tai!" Still stable.

I am a person who can't use a knife, what do I do with a knife? "

Everyone suddenly remembered that one of Liu Yishou's hands was still slightly injured. To be honest, holding a knife was really useless.Yuan Ziyou looked at Liu Yishou with a complicated expression. This time he was supposed to be the one who made him the emperor.

Well, the Son of Heaven will be after completing the task.

This single-handed breakthrough is a great opportunity to establish prestige.

But Yuan Ziyou didn't dare to gamble, nor did he want to gamble.What is his status, he has a bright future, and if he is not careful, he will become the next emperor of the Wei Kingdom!If he died in this kind of place, because of the accidentally slipped bow and arrow of the guards at the city gate, who would weep for?

Yu Jin wanted to say something, but seeing Liu Yishou's resolute attitude, he finally sighed and said nothing.

Give it a try, how will you know if it works if you don’t try it?There are only more than 200 people here, not to mention breaking through the gate, even if they can touch the city gate, it is the other party who is releasing water.

"Treat your life when you do great things, and forget your life when you see small gains. The way of death is the way to die. A man can't be swayed in life. If he is hit by a boat, he should die vigorously. A person dies to leave his name, and a leopard dies to leave his skin."

Liu Yishou said impassionedly, bid farewell to Yu Jin and others, and walked towards the floating bridge with the black bag in hand.

Looking at the back of Liu Yishou going away, Yuan Ziyou suddenly felt that the other party should be the emperor, and he was just a ridiculous clown.

……

At the head of the Heyang Pass, a middle-aged man with a beard and a haggard face, wearing a leather armor, looked at Liu Yishou with some doubts as he crossed the pontoon bridge alone and came to the bottom of the Heyang Pass.

The reason why the soldiers guarding the city did not release their arrows, or even raise their bows and arrows, was the reason Liu Yishou said: because he was unarmed and alone.

Those soldiers can tell at a glance whether the people coming from the city are threatening.If you slipped your hand and shot the bow and arrow, it happened to hit, and the person who was shot happened to be someone you couldn't offend.

Isn't this killing for no reason?
So some of the soldiers at the top of the city were yawning, and they didn't even bother to look at Liu Yishou.

"People under the city, Heyang Pass is the key point of Luoyang, retreat quickly if nothing happens!"

A soldier on the top of the wall shouted to Liu Yishou.If it was normal, they would definitely not be so polite to Liu Yishou, but now is an extraordinary period, and the Beizhong City on the north bank of the Yellow River is in Er Zhurong's hands.

Anyone who is not blind can see that Heyang Pass is the last barrier in Luoyang.Without Heyang Pass, Luoyang is like a lady without clothes, "welcoming" the robbers who broke in in the boudoir.

The middle-aged general who was looking at Liu Yishou at the top of the city was none other than Li Chong's son-in-law, Empress Dowager Hu's concubine, Li Shengui, the commander of the Luoyang Imperial Army!
It is also the "big boss" who has won Chen Yuankang countless times, but the other party treats him as if he does not exist.

Think about it too, for the sake of her own safety, how could the Empress Dowager Hu hand over the crucial moment of life and death to someone like Yu Jin?A woman, especially a woman who has enjoyed sexual intercourse, will only trust a man who has had sex with her!

"I am the messenger of the Son of Heaven, and I came here to deliver the letter!"

Liu Yishou shouted towards the top of the wall.

Li Shengui pondered for a moment, then said to his soldiers: "Pull him up, let's see what he wants to say."

Soon, the guards put down the hanging basket and pulled Liu Yishou up.

Li Shengui looked at this person, and felt that he was handsome and handsome, with an elegant temperament and toughness, he was a rare handsome man.This kind of "beauty in the prosperous age" is more than enough to give the Empress Dowager Hu a head-to-head face-to-face.

As the face of Empress Dowager Hu, seeing a young man who was so handsome that he couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive and worried.

"The Son of Heaven was stabbed to death, and he still sent you to deliver the letter? There is someone here. Throw this person into the Yellow River, and it depends on how good his water quality is."

Li Shengui said calmly.

Although it is a test of water quality, the Yellow River is so fast that if you fall with your clothes on, you will probably die.

Liu Yishou secretly scolded the other party for being perverted in his heart, but his face remained calm.

"I have a treasure in my hand, won't General Li take a look at it?" He already knew that Li Shengui was guarding Heyang Pass, not only did Yu Jin tell him, but before Yu Jin said it, he had already guessed it.

Liu Yishou raised the black bundle in his hand and said with a smile.

"treasure?"

Li Shengui showed a strange expression, the handsome young man in front of him seemed to like playing tricks.But it doesn't matter how you play, he won't get caught.

Liu Yishou opened the bag, and there was a woman's head in it!

"This……"

Li Shengui and the soldiers around him were startled, but when he calmed down and looked at the head carefully, he vaguely found that it looked familiar.

"Don't look, the head of Empress Dowager Hu is here, now Luoyang is under the control of the new emperor!"

Liu Yishou threw the head into the Yellow River, and sank into the river with a splash, which made Li Shengui go dumbfounded.

"You don't believe me, do you? Yes, you can send someone to Luoyang to ask if Queen Mother Hu has been executed. But I came here to save your life. Er Zhurong will attack the city later, If you don't believe it, you can go and see if their people are ambushing on the other side of the pontoon bridge."

Liu Yishou pointed at Li Shengui and said sternly!

"My lord..."

The soldiers whispered a few words in Li Shengui's ear, the guard of Heyang Pass, the commander of the Luoyang Forbidden Army's complexion turned blue and white, but it's a pity that it's hard to see it now under the hazy sky.

The soldiers said just now that they found Er Zhurong's men ambushing at the other side of the river bridge last night, and they seemed to be waiting for an opportunity to seize the pass!
Just now I saw the head of Empress Dowager Hu. Of course, the envoy in front of me might have been bluffing him, so he threw the head into the Yellow River with a guilty conscience.

But what I looked at just now... really looks like the Empress Dowager Hu.It is impossible for the young man in front of him to have met Queen Mother Hu. If he wanted to find a substitute, he had to find someone who had a similar face to Queen Mother Hu.

Damn, time is running out now, where can these people be found?

Many thoughts passed through Li Shengui's mind. The people he sent were likely to be intercepted and killed on the way back to Luoyang.Then this proves from the side that what the other party said is true.

"The former emperor, knowing that the Queen Mother was going to harm him, deliberately left a letter and his personal token. I believe General Li must know him.

Of course, this letter was written by someone else, and I believe you can understand the reason.Knowing that he had no descendants, he chose to adopt Yuan Ziyou, a descendant of King Pengcheng, as his heir.

Er Zhurong is a frontier soldier, and the new emperor doesn't know his details, so he still needs the support of some people.General Li will follow the dragon's merits one step further, and will be buried with Queen Mother Hu if he takes a step back. General Li has to think carefully about where to go. "

Liu Yishou handed the letter in his arms, as well as the unremarkable suet jade ring to Li Shengui.

All the cards have been played, if Li Shengui still doesn't believe that he must be a mandarin duck with Queen Mother Hu, then Liu Yishou has no choice.The most difficult people to deal with in this world are often infatuated fools.

Is Li Shengui this kind of person?
