Qing Ping Le · Double Songs

The heavy rain quickly disturbed the pedestrians on the street. In the panic, everyone hugged their heads and hid somewhere. But after a while, the whole Nanyang City seemed like an empty city, except for the sound of rain.

Hu Chengliang braved the heavy rain to visit at night. Wei Guogong was surprised but also expected, so he rushed to invite someone.Hu Chengliang hurriedly followed the footsteps of the servants, stepped into the small courtyard and saw that there were people guarding the roof of the courtyard, he didn't think much about it, he just wanted to meet Wei Guogong quickly so that he could discuss countermeasures.

Seeing him slamming into the door, Wei Guogong hurriedly got up to greet him, and asked without much greetings, "Why did Master Hu come here?"

Hu Chengliang lowered his voice, and said, "Something is wrong with the Duke, His Majesty has already discovered our plan. At this time, the prince may be in danger."

Wei Guogong's eyes sank, and he asked, "How did you know?"

"Ye Li suddenly came to me and said that he found some clues about that little girl Rong Che." He handed the half piece of paper to Wei Guogong, and said, "The strange thing is that Princess Yuanjia also came to the Ministry of War suddenly today, and I I also discovered that His Majesty intentionally bypassed me and quietly transferred troops, it seems that Rong Che has already leaked the news by joining His Majesty."

Wei Guogong didn't say a word, and the eyebrows piled up like a mountain. He sat down and greeted, "Master Hu, please sit down for a while." Hu Chengliang sat down according to his words. Since last year, the news between me and the lord has not been interrupted, but since yesterday, the news has been discontinued, the old man thought it was because of his inconvenience, although he was puzzled and didn't think about it, now that he thinks about it, he understands."

"Conspiring rebellion is a serious crime, and we must quickly find a solution." Hu Chengliang then thought of Rong Ling's words and deeds during the day, "I'm afraid His Majesty has already noticed you and me."

"It's more than that." Wei Guogong said in a deep voice, "Commander Xu, come out too."

Xu Jiu came out from behind the screen and asked Hu Chengliang first. Hu Chengliang was surprised that he didn't know that Wei Guogong and Xu Jiu were also accomplices, so Hu Chengliang said, "It's not that the Duke has guests and officials who bother him."

"Master Hu, don't worry too much." Guo Gong said, "Commander Xu is here this time because he has something urgent to tell me, why don't you tell Master Hu as well."

"Yesterday Li'an and Lu secretly mobilized the four defenses. Today I paid more attention and found out that the four city gates have been strengthened. That's why I rushed to report the news. Unfortunately, Mr. Hu is also the same."

Hu Chengliang continued, "It seems that His Majesty wants to catch the turtle in the urn." At this moment, the two of them felt that the Dongchuan incident happened when there was any disturbance, and their thoughts were uncertain and difficult to suppress.

Wei Guogong remained silent all the time, his brows were intertwined like mountains and ravines, and he was contemplating himself. Hu Chengliang and Xu Jiu questioned each other with their eyes, but they didn't understand, so they both had to cast their eyes on Wei Guogong and stopped talking.Wei Guogong has his own thoughts and doubts. The candles in the room are brightly lit, but they can't penetrate the past that has been accumulated in his heart for a long time. He knows that Hu Chengliang and Xu Jiu are still waiting for him to speak.

"Today you two came together, I feel startled and strange at first. I always feel that this is too coincidental." He paused and continued, "But I can't find any flaws."

"Your Majesty will not let us go if you don't oppose us now." This is what Xu Jiu said. The blockade of the city gate can be big or small. Yes, but now I can't keep my prestige, and I don't want the glory and wealth you promised, Duke, you have to think of a way, you have to protect my family's life without any worries."

Hu Chengliang was calm at the moment, "Duke, can you be sure that His Majesty won't blame you and me?"

Wei Guogong shook his head, "I'm afraid His Majesty wanted to deal with me long ago, even if this matter has nothing to do with me, His Majesty will find another reason, let alone this matter has a lot to do with me."

The sound of the rain outside the window gradually subsided, and Hu Chengliang's voice could be heard clearly even in a very low voice, "It's better if we don't keep doing it, it's better to fight if we die sooner or later."

Xu Jiu also moved closer and compared his hand with a knife, "We will not stop doing one thing, we will do it in advance without anyone noticing, and we will take advantage of the convenience of the capital as long as we catch His Majesty, all difficulties will be solved naturally."

Wei Guogong knew that now it was an arrow on the string and he had no choice but to take it all in. Even if he wanted to stay still to cope with all changes, Hu Chengliang and Xu Jiu might not be willing. Now that their lives are at stake, everyone is in danger. Being in the same boat again is involuntary.What's more, he is old and doesn't have many days to live, and His Majesty has always been jealous of him and wants to get rid of him quickly. If he doesn't move now, he may never be able to rehabilitate the former prince.

A strong hatred flashed across the chest of the first prince Wei Guogong. He conspired with King Jingyuan not because he was in love with power. After more than ten years of scheming, he just took advantage of King Jingyuan's ambition to achieve his own goals. How can fetching water from a bamboo basket not make him hate more, he is not for the high throne, as long as he can kill the queen with his hands, everything is worth it.

After thinking about it like this, all doubts disappeared, he said, "When do you two think you will do it?"

Xu Jiu's eyes lit up, "I'll go back first and prepare to be safe, Master Hu thinks?"

"Capture the thief first and capture the king first. Let's go straight to Huanglong to besiege the palace. We are afraid that she will turn the world upside down." During the discussion, he was full of energy, as if wealth and wealth were at his fingertips. She was caught off guard and took the imperial city in one fell swoop."

"Okay." Xu Jiu replied, and the two of them and Wei Guogong resigned and went back to prepare separately. After they left, Wei Guogong sat in the room for a long time, and the voice, appearance and appearance of the former prince flashed in front of his eyes from time to time. Regardless of success or failure, this will be the end. He got up Stepping out of the door, he summoned his cronies and ordered Qi Qi's soldiers to stand by.

At this moment, the wind has stopped and the rain has stopped, but the thick clouds have not disappeared, and the sky is still covered by the moon, leaving a dark patch of the earth.It wasn't until Wei Guogong was far away that Bai Qingtong appeared from his hiding place, tapped his toes, and flew out of the Duke's mansion with a few ups and downs.Not far from the courtyard wall was a gorgeous carriage parked in the darkness. Two white gauze lanterns hung in front of the carriage but were not lit, leaving only a vague outline.

Bai Qingtong landed next to the carriage, Dongge opened the curtain for her, she nodded slightly to express her gratitude, and then got in, and there were two princesses Rong Cheng and Rong Che sitting inside.Rong Cheng looked at her with clear eyes and a smile, and said, "This trip to Qingtong has been hard work."

"No problem."

Rong Che was supposed to go out in person, but unfortunately, he was caught up in chores and had to ask Bai Qingtong to do it for him. Fortunately, Bai Qingtong was familiar with the Duke's mansion and made preparations early, so he seemed to be waiting for work.

"Miss Bai, have you gained anything this time?"

Bai Qingtong said calmly in a cold voice, "Hu Chengliang, Xu Jiu and Wei Guotong agreed to rebel against each other at any moment."

"Cousin, if I have nothing else to do, I'll go back and get ready." Rong Che got up and stepped out of the car, "If there is nothing else tonight, cousin, please don't leave the palace at will."

"Ache." Rong Cheng called to stop Rong Che who was about to leave, "Be careful."

Rong Che glanced back at her with a faint smile on his lips, and then left without saying a word.It was raining again, different from the violent one before, now it seemed to understand pity for the earth, gentleness and gentleness seemed to be comforting and more like an expression of apology. Thinking about it this way, God is very affectionate.

Xu Jiu went back to the barracks to call for orders from left and right. He sat and waited in the tent, his heart beating like thunder. He got up and shook off the cloak, put it on and walked outside the tent.

There were more than a dozen braziers burning fires outside the tent, shining brightly all around, the sky was gloomy with drizzle at the moment, but there was no one outside the tent, not even the left and right who reported to him just now.Everything was clear in the place illuminated by the brazier, but he had no idea what was hidden in the darkness.

"Come here." Xu Jiu called loudly, but only the crackling of the firewood responded, and he called again, "What's the matter?" , was more intense than before, and the breathing had to be stagnant.

"Xu Jiu." An and Lu came out from the darkness, "Are you convicted?"

He had a strong spirit, "Commander An, what are you talking about, why did you suddenly visit the base camp and what instructions did you give?" He didn't say a word, his hands were trembling slightly.

"Bring people up."

"Yes."

The two soldiers who obeyed Xu Jiu's orders just now were tied up and thrown on the ground. An and Lu shouted loudly, "You two quickly recruited them."

One of them stepped down immediately and said, "Just now Commander Xu ordered us to call people to the imperial city."

Another person quickly echoed, "Yes, yes, it is the commander's order, and the subordinates also obeyed the order. I also ask the commander-in-chief to forgive me. We didn't know about it before, so I beg the commander-in-chief."

"Xu Jiu, you still have something to say." An and Lu stared at Xu Jiu sharply, "Someone come and take him down."

"This is slander." Xu Jiu denied it, and argued, "Who ordered you two to slander me?"

The people who came forward to arrest Xu Jiu approached step by step, Xu Jiu suddenly jumped forward, drew his sword and rushed towards An and Lu. Fortunately, An and Lu were prepared, he quickly turned sideways and spun first Dodging the knife, he drew his knife and slashed towards Xu Jiu's back, Xu Jiu also blocked the knife when he turned around.

An and Lu said, "The daring thieves will not be killed." As he spoke, his moves became fierce. He was as powerful as an ox and as fast as a tiger. The knife was invincible in the flames.But after twenty moves, Xu Jiu had no power to resist anymore, An and Lu took the opportunity to stab him in the chest, Xu Jiu immediately vomited blood and died, his eyes were still wide open and his face was full of disbelief.

An and Lu put away their knives and shouted, "Vice Commander Xu Jiu and his subordinates have committed crimes and plotted chaos, and I have executed them on the spot. The rest of the people involved in the case will be spared death if they confess their crimes truthfully." As if to respond to him, a bolt of lightning struck down in the air, leaving the most brilliant light and shadow in the night sky, and also illuminating the imperial troops lined up neatly.

What Hu Chengliang never expected was that when he got on his horse and was about to march in formation, he heard the sound of marching footsteps in the unfathomable darkness. The sound was so calm and powerful that he felt like an ax was hitting his chest every time. , He raised his hand to stop the movement behind him, quietly waiting for the giant mouth of the darkness to spit out the approaching beast.

The torches illuminated the entire street, and the rain fell much faster than before. Rong Ling's bright red palace gown was already wet from the rain, and water droplets kept falling from her hair as she sat on the horse. Full of flames, she quietly looked at Hu Chengliang with her inherent arrogance, while behind her was the [-] unstoppable Imperial Army.

The people on both sides of the street had already been awakened by the movement outside, but they were still lying down and did not dare to move, as if they could be sucked into the vortex if they took a breath, but they carefully listened to the movement outside, flustered and curious.

"Where is Master Hu going?" She raised her horsewhip and pointed to the team behind Hu Chengliang. continued to fall.

"I'm here." Hu Chengliang's legs were trembling and he almost fell off the horse. His tongue was tied and he was speechless. "Your Highness, it's just a misunderstanding."

"Misunderstanding?" Rong Ling raised her brows lightly, with a smile on her lips, "I heard that Master Hu is going to lead people to force the palace, why is Master Hu still not satisfied with the seat of Minister of War? ?”

Hu Chengliang was shocked and said loudly, "Your Majesty is so stupid now. As a minister, what is wrong with urging His Majesty to work diligently for the country and society?" He raised his black paint He threw out the painted whip and the sleeping water beads on it, and he shouted, "Break out the encirclement and go straight to the palace."

"Hu Chengliang." Rong Ling's voice was stern, "You are so courageous, but you don't know how to repent when you die, so I will take your head as a warning to others."

Soldiers meet each other, and fights are built.Rong Ling's flaming long whip pointed towards a life-threatening talisman, entangled Hu Chengliang tightly, Hu Chengliang was no match for Rong Ling, especially the whip was coming so fast that there was nowhere to avoid it, and within two or three strokes, it was wrapped around his neck, and he couldn't help it. fell from the horse.

Seeing this situation, the rebels panicked and dropped their troops and armor one after another.Hu Chengliang rolled uncomfortably on the ground, but the whip was not affected in the slightest and allowed him to thump. Rong Ling just tightened the whip in his hand, calmly and bloodthirsty looking at the dying man on the ground, she deliberately tortured him not to let him die too easy.

The raindrops had already formed a line, like a curtain covering Rong Ling's cold eyes, Hu Chengliang was lying curled up on the ground without moving.She took the waist knife and slashed, and Hu Chengliang's head rolled to the side with fresh blood, and it was stained red. Then she heard her say, "Hang Hu Chengliang's body on the east and west gates for public display."

A loud promise sounded in the rain, "Yes."

The wind is calm, the long street is quiet, the people on both sides heard a storm with their own ears, and it suddenly subsides suddenly. The unstoppable drowsiness of the people fell asleep quickly, and the curious people could not help but tiptoe by the window, trying to spy on it. After all, it was a pity that it was raining too hard. Except for the bright woman in red makeup, everything else was unrecognizable.

The blood on the blade was quickly washed away by the rain. Rong Ling sat on the horse and seemed to be still in the chaos around her. Water droplets slid down her sharp cheeks. Her eyes were looking in the direction of the palace. Two hours ago From there she was ordered to leave the palace to quell the chaos.

Pei Qingyang stayed in the palace every day without any scruples. Under the instruction of Rong Cheng, the head of the military department went into the palace overnight to report the emergency, but the empress was enjoying herself and refused to see her, so she had no choice but to ask the East Palace. Breaking into the queen's bedroom, the queen knew the situation was serious.

The rain was icy cold, and her layers of clothes were completely wet. She couldn't help shivering and shivering a little.She knew Rong Cheng's good intentions, knowing that the queen was sleepy in the middle of the night and ordered a small official to report, and the queen would naturally not summon her, so she had the opportunity to be ordered in a crisis. She just wanted her to contact the imperial army.

After the long street was cleaned up and restored to its original appearance, she sent out a signal to cut through the night sky. She, An and Lu had calmed down the incident respectively, and now only Rong Che has no news.She pulled the rein and turned the horse's head and ran towards the palace. At this moment, the queen was waiting for her return in the palace, and the girl in fresh clothes and angry horse galloped away against the wind and rain.
