Chapter 71 Liguan Mountain
Chapter 71 Liguan Mountain
When Zhang Keliang rushed to Jinmen City, he met thousands of soldiers and horses who had withdrawn, and learned the news that Li Xueyu and Dugu Siluo had died in their country, and led the troops to Shanhaiguan without stopping.
But at this moment, an urgent letter from the imperial city came to report that the thirteenth prince Dugujin had launched a coup to seize the throne. Zhang Keliang, who was leading tens of thousands of people, stopped his horse and looked at the messenger, hesitating for a moment.
Zhang Keliang got off his horse, he had to take care of Shanhaiguan and the remains of the soldiers on the one hand, and the safety of the imperial city on the other, but at this time there were so many people, it was difficult to have both.
Right now, he can only send someone to investigate the situation in Shanhaiguan, and he went to the imperial city to rescue the crisis. After all, losing the city is a small matter, but usurping the throne is a big matter, and he can only retreat when the situation is unfavorable.
After a while, Zhang Keliang led his troops back to the imperial city, and handed over the matter of going to Shanhaiguan to the five raiding teams. They only needed to find out as much as possible the news of the enemy army and the location of the dead general and princess.
However, the imperial city did not last until Zhang Keliang's return as Zhang Keliang had imagined. In one night, Dugu Jin had seized the throne and abolished the emperor, but the crown prince had not been abolished, and the alien party had not been eliminated.
Zhang Keliang's army was also blocked from entering the imperial city. He reined in his horse and watched Luoyang's high city wall walk a few steps. He saw no movement inside, and immediately ordered to attack the city.
At this moment, the city gate slowly opened, and soon, a golden dragon came out and stopped in front of Zhang Keliang.
It was Dugu Jin who was seated by the dragon.
At this moment, Dugu Jin, who was wearing a golden-patterned dragon robe, looked at Zhang Keliang with blazing eyes.
Zhang Keliang frowned, seeing that he was already late, Dugu Jin had already sat on the throne.
When Zhang Keliang didn't know what to do, more than half of the soldiers behind him had already knelt down to pay homage to Dugu Jin.
Afterwards, the soldiers who did not kneel down looked at Dugu Jin in the dragon robe, then at the people kneeling around him, and then they also knelt down, and followed the crowd shouting: "See the emperor, long live the emperor, long live, long live! !"
Hearing this, Zhang Keliang reined in his horse and looked at them in disbelief. Seeing that everyone behind him had knelt down in unison, he suddenly became angry: "Stand up for this general!"
Someone secretly raised his head to assess the situation, and when he saw that no one was standing up, he lowered his head immediately.
Zhang Keliang jumped off the horse, rushed over to pick up his lieutenants, and kicked them hard a few times. Those people were beaten so painfully that they didn't make a sound. Zhang Keliang had to let them go, and turned his head to swing his halberd. Rebuked Dugu Jin: "Rebel, I will kill you!"
The soldiers behind him were all brought out by Zhang Keliang himself, why he turned his back at this time must be due to Dugu Jin's doing something, he is now alone, and he can only fight to the death.
Dugu Jin narrowed his eyes and looked at him dangerously, and lightly tapped the handrail of Long Zhuo with his finger. Immediately, the eunuch beside him scolded Zhang Keliang: "Bold, don't kneel down yet!"
Zhang Keliang frowned, and swung his halberd towards Dugu Jin, but Dugu Jin didn't move, watching him kill several guards and eunuchs who stopped him.
In just a moment, the long halberd pointed at Dugu Jin, and Dugu Jin stopped pointing his fingers. He met Zhang Keliang's eyebrows and calmly said: "General Zhang, although the country has changed hands, But Daliao is still Daliao, you have to think carefully, whether you want to go with the old lord, or follow me to protect the country, loyal to the lord or loyal to the country, the general chooses himself."
Zhang Keliang's heart is very clear: "Don't fool me, I know you gave the order to open Shanhaiguan, how can I give in to the traitorous dog thief!"
After saying that, Zhang Keliang stabbed Dugu Jin with his long halberd, and the soldiers who followed him were about to step forward to escort him, but Dugu Jin raised his hand to stop him. When everyone was worried about Dugu Jin, he turned his head to avoid the stabbing long halberd. Immediately, he turned around and stood up, and with the dragon robe raised, the person dodged to Zhang Keliang's side and grabbed the body of the halberd in his hand, and snatched the halberd from his hand with all his strength.
Dugu Jin put the halberd on his neck and looked at him lightly: "However, how did the expedient measure become a traitor to the country? As long as you continue to be your general well, within three months I will be able to defeat the country of Yan." Incorporated into Daliao."
If it weren't for the fact that all the generals in the court were dead, and Zhang Keliang was the only available talent, Dugu Jin would not be so talkative, but if he was still stubborn, he would not soften his heart.
Zhang Keliang looked at Dugu Jin in silence for a moment. It is unbearable to kill his brother and seize the throne, but the former emperor was really stupid, he only knew profit but did not know the people. The war also increased taxes, making the people hungry and dying everywhere.
If Dugu Jin can revive Daliao, it is nothing but a good thing, after all, he has seen the Ping Nanhuai Rebellion before, Dugu Jin has real skills, abilities beyond his reach.
Dugu Jin was still waiting for him to speak, Zhang Keliang lowered his eyebrows, responded slowly, and said, "Okay."
Dugu Jin nodded in satisfaction, put away the halberd, picked up Zhang Keliang's hand, and put the halberd into his hand. He knew that Zhang Keliang was more loyal to the country than loyal to the emperor.
Dugu Jin said: "Shanhai Pass will be handed over to the general first, and the situation in the capital will stabilize in a few days, and I will conquer everything myself."
Zhang Keliang said nothing, just nodded, and turned his head to look at his soldiers with dull thoughts.
.........
Fortunately, when Zhang Keliang returned to Jinmen City, he learned that the bodies of Dugu Siluo and several generals had been sent back by the enemy. He didn't know what their intentions were, but it all came down to something on his mind.
Fearing that there would be a fraudulent opening and closing of the Shanhaiguan Gate, the leisurely Ziqi who was worried about Ye Qing soon rushed to Shanhaiguan to look for Ye Qing.
At this moment, Xian Ziqi was in Ye Qing's tent, he didn't look well when he learned that Ye Qing had forced Dugu Siluo to death, but Ye Qing sat on the main seat as if nothing had happened .
They had had a quarrel before, and now in the middle of the cold war, it was the leisure period that broke out first. He said "I'm leaving" coldly, then grabbed his folding fan and walked towards the door, and decisively opened the tent and left .
Seeing that the situation was wrong, Ye Qing immediately got up and chased after him, but when he got out of the tent, he had disappeared, so he had to call out the blue bird to check his tracks.
Xian Ziqi went all the way to the south, Ye Qing immediately chased him, and found him in the forest of Qingshui River in a mountain forest.
There was an old dilapidated wooden house in the woods, and there was a tomb in front of the wooden house. Xian Ziqi was standing beside the tomb, with one hand on the tombstone, tears streaming down his eyes.
Ye Qing didn't know the situation, so he walked over quickly, calling out, "Ziqi."
Xian Ziqi immediately suppressed the tears in his eyes, turned around and looked at Ye Qing, with some evil eyes, he asked, "What are you doing here?"
The look and tone were a bit fierce, which surprised Ye Qing.
Ye Qing subconsciously glanced at the tombstone, the words on it were already blurred, but it was not difficult to recognize the words "Moon Mother's Tomb".
Ye Qing was very obedient at this time, he didn't dare to make him angry, he just smiled gently, with a flattering face: "Ziqi panicked the moment he left, is this... mother?"
He looked at the tombstone, and Xian Ziqi also took a look at it, and when he looked up at Ye Qing, he was a little flustered, his face was even a little embarrassed, then he put aside his gaze and pretended to be calm: "Go back first, let me calm down by myself." Quiet."
Ye Qing didn't listen to him, and walked a few steps towards him, standing in front of the tombstone to worship, Xian Ziqi immediately pulled him back, angrily said: "What are you doing?"
The corner of Ye Qing's mouth twitched, he pulled him into his arms and rubbed him: "Worship my mother-in-law, what's wrong?"
Xian Ziqi was in a mess, he pushed Ye Qing away and he took a few steps away from others, frowning, "She's not my mother, can you go back?"
"Ziqi," Ye Qing looked at him, and said in a nice voice, "Don't be angry, I'll take the blame and go to Yunguan Realm to find your senior sister, forgive me this time? From now on, I will never argue with you again."
Xian Ziqi ignored him, so Ye Qing took him for acquiescence, and said: "Then I'm leaving, but before I leave, I have something to ask you."
Xian Ziqi didn't look at him, and replied, "Tell me."
Ye Qing asked with a smile: "Who is this Yueniang from Ziqi?"
Xian Ziqi stood up, straightened his messy hair and looked at Ye Qing, with a guilty conscience: "A former friend."
Ye Qing pulled him over and kissed him: "You have something to hide from me. Earlier when I asked you if you saw your apprentice Lan Yu clearly, you replied that it was retribution, and you didn't tell me why."
"It's hard for you to remember all this so clearly," Xian Ziqi sighed, "You really want me to tell? If I do, don't be angry."
Ye Qing wrapped him in his arms, kissed him, and said: "It's enough for me to have you as a baby. I know this but I want to know you better, so why would I be angry?"
Xian Ziqi hesitated for a while, before saying: "I am an orphan, Yue Niang, she was originally a great disciple of Yunguan Realm, and later met me when she went down the mountain, accepted me as an apprentice, and never went back. I bought a wooden house, and I let her live here."
"She has always said that I have good aptitude. When I achieve a little achievement, she will send me to Yunguan Realm and ask me to worship Baili Xianzun as a teacher, but I will come here when I am free. I have lived here with her for ten years. When I became an adult... I married her and her Shuangxiu."
Speaking of this, Xian Ziqi glanced at Ye Qing, seeing Ye Qing continued to listen, he continued:
"Later, the news was leaked somehow. The story of Lan Yue and her apprentice Shuangxiu became known to everyone, although no one knew that her apprentice was actually me."
"So when Yunguanjie came to clean up the sect and forced her to hand me over, she committed suicide to protect me from confessing me, and I never stood up from the beginning to the end."
"She treats me very well, no one has ever treated me so well, but I never cherish it." Speaking of this, Xian Ziqi suddenly noticed that Ye Qing's hand holding him was a little loose, so he immediately shut up .
Although he hadn't finished speaking, he couldn't continue, he just felt extremely ashamed, how could he tell the matter, he felt that he lost half of his dignity when facing Ye Qing, he just waited for him to scold and abandon him, even if he was abandoned and scolded, He deserves it.
Xian Ziqi's face turned livid, he stretched out his hand to push Ye Qing away, and said first, "I'm almost done talking, you should ask my senior sister for your sins, I have to be quiet too."
Ye Qing remained silent, lowered his long and narrow eyes, glanced at Yueniang's tomb quietly, and asked, "Did you really double cultivate with her?"
"Yes! It's not that you're deaf and can't hear me clearly." Xian Ziqi was a little irritable, afraid that Ye Qing would start to dislike him.
Ye Qing asked again: "What's the relationship between Lan Yu and Lan Yue?"
He was asking about what Xian Ziqi had just said, Xian Ziqi replied: "Lan Yu is a descendant of the Lan family."
"So you gave Lan Yu all your love for Yue Niang?" Ye Qing frowned at him, "You...I really don't know what to say about you."
Xian Ziqi decided that he was going to humiliate him, and jumped up angrily when he heard the words: "I don't know what to say about me, I will tell you for you, I am cowardly, selfish, and I have double cultivated with other people. If you feel dirty and cannot accept my words, we will You can make up."
It's really hard for Ye Qing to understand that a person who looks so unruly has such a past, but compared to losing his leisure time, it's a trivial matter, and he doesn't know when he started to fall in love with this originally tit-for-tat person. It was maddening to part with him.
Ye Qing's face was unbelievably calm at this time, he said: "Ziqi, I like everything about you, but why do you want to come here today? Is the person in your heart me or has it always been her?"
Xian Ziqi frantically beat the folding fan, exhaled a sigh of depression while fanning, and felt better: "You don't have to compare with someone who is no longer in this world."
Hearing this, Ye Qing seemed to have an answer in his heart, he stretched out his hand to hold Xian Ziqi's hand holding the fan and snatched his fan, with a little blackness on his face: "If she didn't die, wouldn't you be ok in your heart?" I have a place?"
Ye Qing knew that his words and deeds were a little unreasonable, but it was too uncomfortable to hold back, he wished he could kill Xian Ziqi who had concealed the matter, but he was heartbroken, killing him would be better than killing himself.
In the face of love, the heart will really become soft, Ye Qing can only blame his overly meticulous and cautious temperament.
Xian Ziqi stared at him with inexplicable eyes at this time, and said, "Are you feeling sour because you like me, or are you making excuses to say goodbye to me?"
