cold hearted son-in-law

After leaving Beijing again, Chu Yunxi hurried for nearly half a month, and then crossed the Longjiang River by boat to Su'an in the south, and Mrs. Hua had already prepared the boat and was ready to fight to the death on the Longjiang River.Chu Yunxi turned back to the Longjiang River again, and saw Mrs. Hua on the deck of a large ship with a height of three floors and a length of about thirty feet on the river.

The sun is shining brightly, the sky is blue, the waves on the river are undulating, and the spring breeze is blowing, making you lazy and comfortable.

When Chu Yunxi boarded the boat and saw Mrs. Hua, she was leaning on the railing and looking at the high mountains on both sides of the river bank. She was dressed in a red dress, as bright as fire, with beaded hairpins on her temples facing the sky.

Hearing the sound of footsteps coming up to the deck behind him and stopping again, he slowly turned his head to look over.Seeing Chu Yunxi standing where he was, looking at himself carefully, he didn't care.The food and drink had already been prepared, she sat down casually, and then waved Chu Yunxi to take a seat. After all the servants had left, she leaned on the table with her elbows, narrowed her phoenix eyes, and squinted at Chu Yunxi with a smile that was not a smile, but did not Open your mouth and just look at it quietly.Her posture is lazy, but her majesty remains undiminished, and the green mountains and green waters behind her are like people in a picture scroll.

I haven't seen her for a year, but Mrs. Hua's demeanor is still the same. It took a long time for Chu Yunxi to speak with some emotion: "Mrs. Hua, long time no see."

"Why did that person let you come?" Mrs. Hua asked with a smile, picked up the wine on the table, and raised a glass to Chu Yunxi.

Chu Yunxi responded with a cup and drank it all before saying, "I'm here to persuade you to surrender."

Mrs. Hua laughed out loud when she heard the words, looked at Chu Yunxi and asked with a smile, "You want me to surrender? Haha, what joke is Chu Lang talking about?"

Chu Yunxi leaned slightly, but said seriously to the person above him: "It's not a joke, Mrs. Hua's defeat is already doomed, why bother to kill more?"

"Haha, what kind of murder am I afraid of now? And why do you say that I will be defeated?! Hmph! Since I am bound to be defeated, why do you come to see me?" Mrs. Hua looked down upon Chu Yunxi and asked back with a big laugh.

"Because your name is not right, and none of the civil servants and military generals is worthy of great use, and you have the arrogance and arrogance in your bones. If you don't listen to good words, you can't win! If you lose the capital, you will never go back! I will come Seeing you, I just don't want to see you die, and I don't want to die either, I hope I can help you get out of here with the Yi Li technique, and you take out the other half of the medicine, how about we live in peace from now on?" Chu Yunxi said frankly , What I said was sincere.

Mrs. Hua just sneered and said firmly, "I won't be that kind of person! Need medicine? Come and help me!"

"This is hard to follow, I will never let her down!" Chu Yunxi refused decisively.

"Then why do you want an antidote?" Mrs. Hua looked directly at Chu Yunxi, without her previous alluring looks, but showing her majesty as a king.

Chu Yunxi looked back at her, sighed, and said: "Actually, I know that you don't want to live in peace. This battle is a matter of life and death. You would rather die than give in to the eldest princess for the antidote." .”

Mrs. Hua at the top didn't speak, as if she was tacitly acquiescing. Chu Yunxi could only persuade gently: "The eldest princess is like a queen, but she has always been against you. You resent her siblings just like you resented the late emperor. The two of you are no longer incompatible. But have you really forgotten that you are blood related by aunt and nephew? The eldest princess is also her blood! Who is the blood staining the mountains and rivers taking revenge? Mrs. Hua has always been extremely intelligent, so why cling to the past? Let go Can't we live together?"

As soon as Mrs. Hua heard the queen's name, she raised her eyebrows, snorted coldly, clenched her fists, gritted her teeth, and even said to Chu Yunxi with a distorted face: "Life is not given, it depends on one's ability! Chu Yunxi, why do you bother?" So persistent? What's so good about that girl? Now you have no complaints or regrets for her, and you have devoted your heart and soul to her, but you have never thought that the person who is by her side day and night is not what you like? And, I dare to say, you Chu Yun Xi and Huangfu Mingyue won't last long!"

Chu Yunxi didn't say a word, and responded silently, but looked at Mrs. Hua stubbornly, not knowing what to say, she really couldn't be with the eldest princess forever, but she didn't regret everything she had done for the eldest princess.If time could start over again, she would still choose to go to Huizhou to save lives.Maybe this is the magic of love, which makes one person live and die for another without any reason at all.

Mrs. Hua is already like a wolf whose old wounds have been torn open. She is fierce and cruel and wants to choose someone to eat. She avoids resentment and blood relationship, but continues to provoke Chu Yunxi, and treats Chu Yunxi sarcastically. Said: "I'm really not worth it for you! Huangfu Mingyue chose you to be her son-in-law, but put you in danger many times, and watched indifferently. Did you ever feel grateful for your kindness in helping her? Knowing the truth of the Chu case, did you ever ask you for help?" Reveal a few words? After knowing your identity, I didn’t want to kill you because you were still useful! You ran to save her later, didn’t you want to part with that attractive appearance? The result? Xiao Yichen’s death, you haven’t grown up Remember, let your apprentice die in vain again! Did she still lie to you later, saying that she would lead the troops and surrender to you in exchange for the antidote, but did she change? Cheng Qian relied on her wholeheartedly and listened to her in everything, But when she was in danger, she ran away alone. Have you asked her why? And Li Mo, the person who helped you when you were most lonely and helpless, did she consider your feelings when she attacked? She is thoughtful and cold Ruthless, you can give up everything for power! Lover? Parents? Brother? They are all pawns to her, and they are all pawns when it comes to the crucial point! Everything you and Li Mo have worked hard for is to make her wedding dress, and now she Maybe I don't want you to go back at all!"

These words are like a knife that kills without blood, stabbing Chu Yunxi's heart with the knife.

Chu Yunxi coughed in anger, and blood oozed from the corner of his mouth.She wiped it casually, her eyes were red, and she didn't want to argue with her for the eldest princess, so she smiled and said lightly: "I believe that Mingyue is not the kind of person you said, and there is no need for others to judge me and her. .”

Mrs. Hua looked at the blood dripping from the corner of Chu Yunxi's mouth, watched her hide her pain deeply, and guard her sweetheart with a tenacious and unyielding attitude.As if seeing her former self, her heart was in a trance for a moment, and her expression was either happy or sad. The next moment, when she thought of the reality, she became fierce again. Her face was a little hideous, but her eyes were as cold as a knife. She sneered and said disdainfully : "Why, you don't want to hear it anymore?"

Chu Yunxi looked at her coldly, the past doesn't really pass away, time can heal pain, but it can't erase the wound.

The past is unbearable, and it hurts every time I mention it.The two people who were exposed to each other did not feel sorry for each other or empathize with each other, but only looked at each other indifferently.Some pain is buried deep in my heart, and I can't talk about it, and I don't want to hear it from others.

Mrs. Hua calmed down, her expression was neither sad nor happy, she just said lightly: "Why do you dare to mention that dead man to me?! It's been more than ten years, more than ten years, how many decades are there in life? Chu Yunxi, you Didn't you do your homework before becoming a lobbyist? Anyone who dares to mention that person in front of me will die!"

"I really can't be a lobbyist. I only came here to survive, but it's a pity that you want to die." Chu Yunxi smiled lightly, the last hope in his eyes disappeared, his eyes were calm, and he picked up the jade lamp in front of him, and turned to him. Mrs. Hua motioned, and drank it all in one gulp.

On the top deck of the ship, there were only the two of them. After drinking, Chu Yunxi stood up and walked towards Mrs. Hua, his eyes were as cold as ice.Since you are going to die, let's do one last thing for the eldest princess before you die.

Mrs. Hua looked at her with a sneer, without moving.In fact, as long as she gave an order, countless soldiers rushed up and chopped Chu Yunxi into several pieces.But she didn't call for anyone or stop her, and looked at the cold-eyed person.

Chu Yunxi approached, and the two of them were only separated by a table.Chu Yunxi took out a porcelain bottle, pulled out the cork, and then seemed to explain: "This is the strange poison 'heartbroken' that Li Mo once gave me. Madam Hua, do you want to try it?"

Mrs. Hua was stunned for a moment, feeling that there was no smell or body abnormality in the air, she amused her, took out the dagger at her waist and put it on the table, she really didn't bother to use force against the sickly Chu Yunxi , Said directly: "I don't know how to live or die!"

Chu Yunxi looked at Mrs. Hua who was watching her as if nothing happened, smiled helplessly, and shook the bottle. Only then did Mrs. Hua smell a strange fragrance, her body was a little weak, and she wanted to call someone in surprise, It's a pity that it's already too late, I only feel my throat is dry, and I want to speak but my voice is like a mosquito.

"Oh, I took it wrong. This is called 'Dark Fragrance Yin'. Smelling the fragrance can make people paralyzed, but it is not a poison. Since you insist on fighting to the death, I can only take you away by force." Chu Yunxi finished speaking. Put on the bottle cork, go to the side of the boat and take out a small bronze mirror, shake it around for a few times, then approach again, and stay beside Mrs. Hua, waiting for the accompanying boat to come.

At this moment, Bai Shaotang rushed in with a roll of paper and said before saluting, "Your Majesty, the eldest princess has proclaimed herself emperor and announced to the world that she will personally go out to crusade... Ah, come, take it down!" Chu Yunxi!"

Chu Yunxi cursed inwardly that Cheng Yaojin had been killed halfway, but he didn't mess around. He casually picked up Mrs. Hua's delicate dagger inlaid with gems on the table, and walked around the table to Mrs. Hua, raising the knife to hold her hostage.

"Chu Yunxi!" Mrs. Hua shouted suddenly, grabbed the knife with her backhand, and kicked him down.

Chu Yunxi only uttered the word "you" in surprise, and was held up by the armored soldiers who rushed up, and received a few dark punches.

"Don't hurt her." Mrs. Hua drank some wine, relaxed her expression, and gave her subordinates a few words before asking Bai Shaotang what happened.

Bai Shaotang was stunned for a moment, and then he presented the list in his hand.

Mrs. Hua took it over and opened it up for a closer look. The list was the imperial list with the imperial seal on it. It was written in February of the first year of Yuanqi. , the Princess Regent will temporarily oversee the country, and on the first day of March, she will personally command an army of 30 to fight against the rebels on the Longjiang River and restore peace to the world.Mrs. Hua looked at it, smashed the list on the table, frowned and looked at Chu Yunxi coldly.

Chu Yunxi was framed and couldn't move. The dagger in Madam Hua's hand was placed on the table, and she drank alone. Quietly placed on the wine table, the hand stopped between the wine and the sword.

"Chu Yunxi, do you want to take a look?" Mrs. Hua picked up the list and asked with a complicated expression.

Chu Yunxi couldn't stand up anymore, and was still held up by others, but his mind was unusually clear. He looked at the list, hesitated for a moment, and then nodded.

Mrs. Hua smiled and threw it over.Chu Yunxi broke free to pick it up, sat cross-legged on the ground, and looked at it.After looking at it for a long time, until the pallor on his face faded, he raised his head to look at Mrs. Hua, and asked with a bitter smile, "How many days are there from August of Jianwen to February of the first year of Yuanqi?"

"180!" Mrs. Hua also laughed, seeming pity, gloating, and self-deprecating thinking of her own situation.

"How do you plan to deal with me?" Chu Yunxi rolled up the imperial list and asked again.

"Didn't she choose assassination for me? I can't bear the name for nothing." Mrs. Hua sneered, and then said: "If I let you go, will you ask her to understand or leave this muddy water?"

Chu Yunxi didn't speak, just bowed his head silently thinking about something.Mrs. Hua smiled, put the dagger on the table back to her waist, and said: "Actually, everything has nothing to do with you now, you have become a 'dead man'."

Mrs. Hua saw that Chu Yunxi was silent, so she walked to the side of the boat rail and looked around for a while. The boat that had received the signal to pick it up was already approaching. She turned her head and said to Chu Yunxi with a smile: "There are still three days, it will be the first day of the new year. I'll wait for her to come. As for your life, cherish it yourself, you don't have much time left, if you are still alive then come and watch the battle."

Chu Yunxi stood up, took a serious look at Mrs. Hua, held the imperial list tightly, boarded the boat and left without saying a word, and went ashore without turning his head, until he got into the carriage, and the coachman hurriedly drove towards Beijing, and there was a sound of rolling wheels. In the middle, Chu Yunxi burst into tears silently in the carriage.

But before she arrived in the capital, an accident happened. On the first night, she escaped with the medicine on her body, but was caught by another assassin the next day.

The sky was hazy, and three people carried her up the mountain in light clothes.Chu Yunxi raised his head and looked around, and found that he seemed to have returned to the steep mountains beside the Longjiang River.

On the top of the mountain closest to the bank of the Longjiang River on the north side of the Longjiang River, Bai Shaotang looked at Chu Yunxi who was bound, and said bitterly: "Chu Yunxi, Your Majesty, she is not willing to kill you. Uncle died tragically, so I can’t just let you go! In fact, arresting you will save your life. Anyway, the eldest princess will never let you go to the capital, so let’s watch the battle here. If you win, three days later I will definitely Come and let you down, if you lose, there are very few people here, you should die for her, everything depends on God's will!"

For the past three days, Chu Yunxi seemed to be fleeing from disaster, he was in a mess and looked haggard.Hearing Bai Shaotang's words, he neither spoke nor resisted, and let the other four people bind her hands, push her under a big tree hugged by each other, and throw the long rope over a branch of the tree. , Holding the rope and pulling it, Chu Yunxi was suspended in the middle of the tree, more than ten feet away from the thick branch of the bowl, and his feet were suspended in the air.

Bai Shaotang looked at the gagged man hanging from the tree, saw that the sun had just risen, and it was bright, so he didn't stay any longer, he greeted the other four people, and the group left in a hurry.

Chu Yunxi's hands were suspended from the treetops by ropes, there was no point of support under his feet, and the weight of his whole body was only supported by those arms.Chu Yunxi secretly scolded Bai Shaotang and his family, let alone three days, her arms would be useless in one day.

Finally, when the footsteps were far away, and there was no sound of twiddling branches, Chu Yunxi tried his best to gather his spirits. The position of the second hand was wrong, and he spread his five fingers, trying to grab the rope hanging from her, and then Climb up to a branch.She tried her best to turn her wrist, which was tightened by the rope, and finally caught a little bit. After she grasped it, she rested and started to climb.It's a pity that she was exhausted, and she hadn't reached the branch yet. As soon as she loosened her strength and slipped the rope, the blood from the rope burst out from her wrist, and then trickled down her arm. She still didn't give up. Time and time again, the rope was dyed red , felt sticky in her hand, and a burning pain in her wrist, but the rope was still not loose, and she did not climb up the branch.

Chu Yunxi was struggling to escape, when she caught the hanging rope again, she clearly heard a wolf howling in the distance, and then the howling of wolves one after another.She checked the direction carefully, and found that it was the direction just up the mountain, and the sound was the sound of the wolves driving their prey into the encirclement.Sure enough, there was a commotion in the woods in the distance, not down the mountain, but up the mountain, Chu Yunxi secretly thought that it was not good, the group of five people was attacked by wolves, the wolves were not small, and they were very hungry eyed wolf.

The sound got closer and closer, and Chu Yunxi could already see Bai Shaotang running towards her with two bloody people, followed by the hungry wolves.Chu Yunxi smiled helplessly. Anyone with a little common sense of survival in the wild knows that the most taboo thing to do when encountering a wild animal is to turn around and run away.Moreover, wolves are smart and cunning. As long as you turn around and make a gesture to run, then the wolf will know immediately, and if you are on your way, it will be a bloodbath.These few people were probably attacked by these jungle wolves, so they were covered in blood and suffered heavy casualties.It's a pity that I panicked and didn't choose my way. I fell into the trap of wolves and was forced to go up the mountain instead.If Chu Yunxi hadn't been gagged, he would have reminded them to climb the tree, or hit them with a weapon and shouted loudly, which might also scare away the pack of wolves.

Seventy or eighty gray wolves surrounded the remaining three, without giving them a chance to breathe, another round of attack began.Chu Yunxi watched, gripped the rope tightly and began to climb up the branches.When she reached half a foot, she was already sweating profusely and dizzy.

The fighting not far away was over, and there was a mix of screams, groans and biting sounds. Chu Yunxi guessed the ending, didn't watch the scene, and concentrated on climbing up. When her hand slipped down again, she stopped.

His clothes were stained with blood, his breath was dying, like a corpse hanging in the air.

The wind is blowing, the river is broad and the waves are rising. The eldest princess has already begun to wave her flag to order the wind to move forward. Thousands of sails are traveling together, which is magnificent.

When Chu Yunxi was blown by the wind, he raised his head and looked towards the river.The war is approaching, and there is a sense of solemnity and oppression in the air.Not far behind was bloody, and the wolves were already gnawing on the three bones.On the surface of the river, the two sides have already confronted each other.

Booming, like a thunderbolt from the blue sky, loud noises sounded one after another, and the ships on the river suddenly burst into flames and filled with smoke.Chu Yunxi raised his eyebrows in surprise.After careful identification, it was indeed Mrs. Hua's ship. Almost at the moment when dozens of ships met, they were thrown into a bag of burning things. or roll over.

Chu Yunxi was condescending, and she could clearly see that it was the black powder made of nitrate, sulfur and charcoal that she had secretly developed by her own soldiers outside the capital. However, compared with the traditional black powder, its explosive performance was enhanced.After making a batch at the beginning, it was planned for Shi Ze to take it to Li Mo to destroy the rebellion and assassinate the generals of the border army.Later, she was locked in a secret room and cut off contact with the outside world. When she came out, she knew that some of the soldiers were missing and their whereabouts were unknown. She guessed that the method of making explosives had been spread and would one day be used on the battlefield.Now that the last battle is finally here, as Chu Yunxi expected, the person behind this is indeed the Eldest Princess.

On the surface of the river, the sky was filled with smoke and flames, people and horses were burned and drowned, and countless people died.Mrs. Hua did not retreat, she led all the generals under her and rushed towards the princess's ship like moths rushing to the flame.

The battlefield was in flames and lasted until the early morning of the next day.Mrs. Hua's ship sank into the Longjiang River. Most of the rebels were killed or injured, many fled, and the rest surrendered.

According to historical records: On March 30nd of the first year of Yuanqi, Princess Regent Huangfu Mingyue led an army of [-] troops to attack the rebellious Hua Dynasty princess and fought a water battle on the Longjiang River. The Hua Dynasty princess was defeated and buried in Longjiang. There is no body left.So far, the Jianwen military rebellion rebelled by the princess of the Hua Dynasty has come to an end.

According to rough statistics, the two sides invested a total of more than 150 million troops during the war, and the post-war casualties reached more than 2000 million.Before the rebellion, the population of China was more than 11 million, but due to the smallpox plague and war*, the population dropped sharply to less than [-] million.The war lasted for nearly [-] months from November of the [-]th year of Jianwen to March of the first year of Yuanqi, and the war spread all over the country.After the war, the people were poor and the economy was in decline. After the war, everything was left to be done!
