The Beacon of Kyushu

Chapter 26 The Treacherous Hero Suffers Filial Piety

After a while, Yuwen Yanyi walked in with the imperial decree in his hand.

When he saw Zhao Guangyi, he knelt down on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly, his voice a little choked, "The officials, the general is incompetent, which caused the fall of Rongcheng and the murder of his righteous brother. This is the fault of the late general!" Then he knelt down again Climbing to Fu Xinyu's feet, she said, "Sister, when I learned that brother-in-law was murdered, I really wanted to die for him. However, I changed my mind. Since the big mistake has already been made, even if I really go to die, I will die." It is impossible to bring the righteous brother back to life. It is only right to report to the foster father and sister as soon as possible, so I have endured the grief and live on till now. Now that I have reported to the foster father and can see my sister again, I have no regrets in this life, so please ask the official The family gave the last general a three-foot green sharp edge, and the last general will kill himself to thank the world!"

Zhao Guangyi looked at Yuwen Yanyi, and said in a deep voice: "General Yuwen, you are my uncle, and even the general of my Song Dynasty. If you really killed yourself in the palace, how can I explain to the officials?"

Fu Xinyi took a few steps forward, supported Yuwen Yanyi with her own hands, and said: "Yes, now that my younger brother is dead, if you kill yourself again, you will teach your sister to die of pain! Get up quickly, don't be sad because of a moment, To do such a foolish thing that the loved ones hurt the enemy."

Yuwen Yanyi raised her head slightly, handed the imperial decree respectfully to Zhao Guangyi with both hands, and said in a trembling voice: "Officials, I will be able to gain your respect, and entrusting important matters to the border is a blessing I have cultivated for several generations. The last general was in the midst of blessings and didn't know his blessings. First, he made a mistake in command, which caused General Fu and the soldiers in the city to be slaughtered early. Now... and now, he was careless for a while, and the pond report to be submitted to Tokyo was lost. Now that I think about it, I really regret it Not enough! The last general dare not disregard the old system of the Taizu Dynasty. I beg you to assign the last general to the border again. I only hope that the officials will remember the little general's insignificant military exploits and give the last general a chance to serve the country. Grateful!"

Zhao Guangyi thought to himself: "Yuwen Yanyi, if I entrust you with important tasks again, I'm afraid that all the officials will not accept it, but what you said is very touching, and it's hard to justify not sending you an errand. Why don't you go to Yongzhou temporarily, in Zhaopu My brother-in-law is a deputy general, help me to scare Qu Yue and those Xiao Xiaoxiao, and return to Hebei after a few days."

Fu Xinyi frowned slightly, and said, "Officials, this arrangement is a bit inappropriate."

Zhao Guangyi also thought that Yuwen Yanyi would not let it go, but unexpectedly, Yuwen Yanyi had a smile on his face, and he kowtowed heavily to Zhao Guangyi a few times, "Thank you for your kindness! The final general will definitely live up to your holy hope, When we arrive in Yongzhou at the end of the day, we will take the head of Dingbuling, the leader of Quyue Kingdom, and offer it to the officials!"

A smile appeared on the corner of Zhao Guangyi's mouth at this moment, "General Yuwen, although Yongzhou is located in a remote area, it is also the territory of the Great Song Dynasty. In the past few years, Ding Guo has made great efforts to annex the south sooner or later. Especially Li Huan, the tenth general, He is both civil and military, and he is indeed a hero in the world. Looking at the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, the one who can beat Li Huan is none other than General Yuwen. You go to Yongzhou to take up the post, and don't let me down! "

Yuwen Yanyi got up slowly, gave another deep salute, then turned and left.Zhao Guangyi saw that Yuwen Yanyi had left, and said softly to Fu Xinyu: "Xinyu, although the death of my uncle has something to do with General Yuwen, I heard his words full of remorse, and I think he probably didn't kill him on purpose. I think he is very pitiful, since you are brothers and sisters, why don't you go and comfort me."

"The concubine has exactly this intention. Since the official has promised, the concubine will go now."

Seeing that both of them had left, Wang Jien asked in a low voice: "Officials, you sent the queen away because you wanted General Yuwen to die. I don't know if you want General Yuwen to die on the road or in the government. Let's do it."

Zhao Guangyi shook his head lightly, "No, we don't need to do it ourselves, someone will be eager to do it for us."

The next day, at noon.

There is no cloud for thousands of miles, no wind in the wilderness, and a red sun hangs high in the sky.

But on the official road leading to Chenliu from Tokyo, a steed horse suddenly gallops up, and the rider on the horse is a young man in purple robe and silver gun.The horseshoes stepped on the snow, making a soft "creaking" sound, and the rolled up snowflakes were like broken jade, floating in the air one after another.

"Hmph, don't you Fu family want to get rid of me? But I'm just doing a little trick. Why are you being led by the nose like stupid donkeys! The man can bend and stretch, so let's go to Yongzhou for a while, and wait for me." The day I will return to Hebei is the time when you will pay for your blood debt!" The purple-robed young man murmured in a low voice, with an extremely contemptuous smile involuntarily drawn on the corners of his mouth.

Suddenly, he pulled the rein abruptly, and the smile on his face froze at this moment.He saw no less than 3000 horses and horses lined up neatly in front of him. The infantry was in front and the cavalry was behind, blocking the official road.

These people are dressed in bright light armor and hold iron cone guns. They are so golden in the sun that they catch people's eyes, and they are cold and frightening.Thousands of elites gather in one place, and there is no need for the commander to order to fight, the condensed killing intent alone is enough to scare away hundreds of thousands of soldiers.However, they were ordered to leave Luoyang this time not to compete with the enemy, but to kill the young man in purple robe——Yuwen Yanyi!
The leader is a burly and strong man, about 38 or [-] in appearance, with a thick and long gun in his palm, which is particularly eye-catching.As soon as he urged his mount, he pointed at Yuwen Yanyi and shouted loudly: "Evil thief! As an official of the imperial court and the adopted son of Mr. Fu, instead of serving the country, you slaughtered your righteous brother and your comrades. It is really abhorrent! Today, I am determined to do justice for the heavens, eradicate traitors for the country, and cut off your dog's head to repay the trust of my lord!"

Yuwen Yanyi saw clearly that the leader of the army was not Fu Yanqing, but Yu Gang, the commander of the Zhongwu Army under his command, with a contemptuous smile on his face again, "Yu Gang, the government ordered his adoptive father to act cheaply, and ordered him to form the Zhongwu Army. In order to make Tokyo better, you led the army from Luoyang to serve the king. But you relied on the favor of your adoptive father, not only led the army to leave Luoyang without authorization, but also repeatedly accused the general, saying that I killed the righteous brother and slaughtered my comrades. I don’t know what proof! Like you Today I really killed this general, how will I explain to my adoptive father, how will I explain to the officials!"

"Bah!" Yu Gang spat, and said unhappily: "You villain, don't want to speak out here and bewitch the morale of the army! I have no grievances with you in the future, and I have no grievances in the near future, so why should I be wronged by you! The truth is with you Said, today is not about to kill you, but Mr. Fu wants you to die, so you can obediently give the head!"

After Yu Gang finished speaking, he urged the war horse, as if a whirlwind was rolled up on the ground, and then the cold light flashed sharply, and went straight to Yuwen Yanyi's throat.Yuwen Yanyi didn't panic at all, and sneered to herself, "Really? Since you fought your way to the end, don't blame the general for being ruthless!"

Yuwen Yanyi only raised his wrist lightly, and the bright silver spear in his palm was already spitting out a letter like a spirit snake, and quickly moved towards the point of the stabbing spear.Yu Gang saw that the tip of his spear was less than half a foot away from Yuwen Yanyi's throat, and he thought that he could kill Yuwen Yanyi with one move, but unexpectedly, the body of the spear suddenly lost control under a wave of force, and stabbed involuntarily at the snow-covered body. earth.

"Ah, that's not good!" Yu Gang exclaimed, just as he was about to withdraw his gun and fight again, the bright silver gun had already reached his throat between lightning and flint.

Yuwen Yanyi grinned grinningly with a gun in his hand, and the murderous intent in his eyes was faintly visible, "Yu Gang, you only have two paths left, choose yourself!"

The bright silver gun is really too fast, so fast that it is unpredictable, so fast that it is unimaginable.It wasn't until this moment that Yu Gang and the officers behind him reacted, but it was too late. No matter who dared to move a little, Yuwen Yanyi could penetrate Yu Gang's seemingly solid neck at the fastest speed.

Yu Gang is also considered to be brave and good at fighting, with extraordinary courage, but his voice couldn't help trembling at this moment, "Yu...Yu Wenyanyi, I, Yu Gang, are also officers of the imperial court, you...you dare to do what you want!"

Yuwen Yanyi ignored Yu Gang's threat at all, and her contemptuous sneer became more and more serious, "I was sent by the official's family to go to Yongzhou to garrison, but you tried your best to intercept and kill me halfway. You poor life, do you think the officials will turn towards you, a rebellious minister and traitor, or towards me, the uncle of the country!"

He intended to retort, but his life was already in the hands of others, so he had no choice but to cast a trap, "Okay, I will admit death! I will let you go today, but you will not be so lucky in the future!"

"The Zhongwu army is the Great Song Xiaorui. They should guard Xijing in their spare time, and serve the battlefield in wartime! How could they be the puppets who allow you to randomly intercept and kill the ministers and punish the meritorious officials! Hehe, what will happen in the future? The head is offered, do you dare to accept it?" Yuwen Yanyi calmly retracted the spear that was against Yu Gang, without a trace of fear in her eyes.Yu Gang, like a defeated quail, said dejectedly, "Brothers, get out of the way!"

The three thousand loyal soldiers are all elites selected by Fu Yanqing himself from thousands of troops and horses. If they go to the battlefield, even if they face the cavalry of the Liao Kingdom ten times larger than themselves, they will not be shaken in the slightest. They will definitely fight to the last drop Blood, to defend the thousands of miles of rivers and mountains of the Song Dynasty.But today, under Yu Gang's order, they had to make way and let Yuwen Yanyi leave.

Yuwen Yanyi glanced at these soldiers with complicated expressions.Immediately, he reined in the reins and ran away, leaving only three thousand soldiers standing in the ice and snow, with anger and unwillingness shining in their eyes!
