An Changqing was very tired indeed. He didn't close his eyes for a moment in the fight of one day and two nights. His whole body was tight and didn't dare to show any weakness and fear. Xiao Zhige is not here, he is the backbone of these soldiers, in any case, he can not fall first.
Even when he later started to kill with a firegun, even if his stomach was tumbling, he had to press on and act as if nothing had happened. He repeatedly pulled the mechanism and shot Until that disgusting feeling gradually weakened, and then became numb, and finally only instinct supported him, constantly repeating the same action
That kind of feeling recalled at this time, only felt as if the whole person were soaking in the sticky and cold blood, not free.
Only Xiao Zhige's generous and warm arms seemed to be able to isolate all danger and pain. He had a lot to say, but in such stability, he unconsciously fell asleep.
When I woke up again, my eyes were dark. An Changqing was shocked, and her heart suddenly contracted. She almost thought that the warm embrace was just an illusory dream.
He tried his best to open his eyes wide and called Xiao Zhige's name tremblingly.
"I'm here."
Familiar voice sounded, and a candle was lit. Xiao Zhige held his cold hand: "have you had a nightmare?"
An Changqing blinked and adapted to the light. Then she found that she was lying on the bed in the main room, and Xiao Zhige was sitting beside the bed. In the small bed beside the bed, Xiao Anheng's brothers and sisters huddled together and slept soundly.
His heart suddenly settled down, but more and more he grasped Xiao Zhige's hand and said, "I'm afraid."
Seeing that he was very tired and covered with blood and sweat, Xiao Zhige restrained himself by the bedside. Now he heard that he had a grievance nasal sound, and he didn't care about anything else. He took off his boots and went to the couch and took him into his arms.
An Changqing's outer garment had already been taken off. At this time, she was only wearing middle clothes, and her figure became more and more thin. Xiao Zhige used his fingers to count his thin spine one by one, and sighed: "I've lost a lot of weight."
An Changqing murmured and hugged his waist more and more fondly. His face was buried in his arms. His nose smelled his familiar breath, and his tight heart gradually relaxed.
They did not speak. Xiao Zhige followed his back and comforted him silently.
They hugged each other for a long time, and then an Changqing broke free from the coldness of the maggot.
He's not afraid when he's alone with Xiao Qi'an, who is like a mad dog. He's not afraid when he asks people to prepare fire oil and earthshaking thunder to die But see Xiao Zhige appear that moment, as if all the strong have been broken, only endless grievances and fear.
Only in front of Xiao Zhige can he show his weakness.
He slowly exhaled, half kneeling and standing up, arms around his neck, head up to kiss his chin.
On the March, the man had no time to take care of his appearance. The stubble on his chin was hard, but he was more and more attached to pecking and kissing, and gently rubbing his cheek.
Xiao Zhige tightens his arms and lets him kiss and ask freely.
The candle light in the room is dim, and the dim yellow candle light blurs the outline. The two people's black hair is entangled in one place, and they can't tell whose hair it is.
Xiao Zhige encircled the man with his cross legs, clasped his waist with his arms, and stuck to him tightly without leaving a gap. Only when he felt each other's heartbeat did he sigh contentedly.
An Changqing put her face on his neck and whispered, "I miss you so much."
"I miss you too, all the time."
Xiao Zhige gently rubbed his cheek with his side face. Thinking of the scene he saw when he came, his heart still convulsed uncontrollably, and even his voice was cruel: "in the future, I will never leave you alone in danger, and you will never want to leave me. If you are not here, what's the use of me? If you dare to take the first step, I'll take you back! "
This time, he was so confident that he thought he could arrange it safely, but he was delayed by obstacles on the way. If he came a step later, he could hardly imagine what the consequences would be.
He said cruel words, but an Changqing was more and more relieved. He closed his eyes and said, "good."
……
In fact, an Changqing didn't sleep long. Although she was very tired, she was frightened and didn't sleep well. This time, Xiao Zhige put his arms around him, and just went back to sleep.
At this time, the sky is still not bright, Cai Xiang and others are cleaning up the battlefield, and the number of casualties is less. The wounded soldiers and people should be treated immediately, and the dead soldiers and people who have died should also be counted and recorded. In the daytime, they will be informed by their families to take them back for burial, and their families will have to pay for them All these things need to be properly arranged.
In addition, the Imperial Palace has also been controlled, and several officials in the prison of Dali temple have also been rescued. What to do after that needs to be decided by Xiao Zhige.
Emperor anqing was seriously ill and dying, and the third prince was killed. The rest of Xiao Qiyou became a prisoner, and Xiao Zhige inherited the great rule.
Ji Anmin, together with several officials and generals, was waiting outside. After the king of Northern War took the princess off the roof and entered the house, he never came out again.Knowing that an Changqing was so dangerous, they must have a lot to say, so no one dared to disturb her.
However, they stood outside for one hour, two hours I saw that it was almost dawn, but I still didn't see anything inside.
Ji Anmin started, yawned and said to Qi Wei: "is general Qi busy?"
Qi Wei waved his hand: "I'm not in a hurry. If Mr. Ji is in a hurry, please come first."
With that, he stepped back to make room for himself and made it clear that he would not be an outsider.
Ji An min coughed, Chuai hand way: "old minister is not too anxious."
They had nothing to say, and Wen, Chen and Wu were waiting patiently. After waiting for a moment, the Minister of Dali temple had nothing to say: "the prince and the princess are really enviable."
Ji Anmin said with a smile, "the princess is noble and righteous. No wonder the prince loves her."
Qi Wei and others on the other side heard it and said to you, "that's nature."
The two sides who didn't talk to each other got along with each other a lot because of this topic. The Minister of Dali temple said strangely, "I just saw that the iron pipe weapon is a fire blunderbuss?"
"Exactly." Tiehu said: "in addition to the fire blunderbuss, there are earthshaking thunder. That's what the princess came up with. It took a lot of effort for the ordnance supervisor to develop it. This is the first time to use it.... "
As long as you have seen the power of these firearms, you will not be surprised. Not only the generals, but also the scholars, will realize what these firearms mean.
"Maybe mass production?" Ji An min asks a little excitedly.
"It needs iron, and the craftsman's requirements are also high. If there are enough iron and craftsmen, we can make a large number of them. But now the palace has accounted for more than half of the inventory in Yanzhou. "
“……”
The discussion of this new type of firearm made people forget the time.
When Xiao Zhige finally came out of the room, it was already bright.
Seeing the crowd waiting outside, he said "hard work" and called them in to discuss business.
An Changqing and his two children are still asleep. Xiao Zhige is afraid that he will go far away. When an Changqing wakes up, he is afraid again. He simply puts down his tent, separates it with a screen, and directly discusses business with the people in the room.
Although separated by a screen, you can still see the curtain hanging down behind. Xiao Zhige deliberately lowered his voice again, and everyone understood him, and then he lowered his voice to speak.
Qi Wei and tie Hu led their troops from Yanzhou to join Xiao Zhige. When they arrived in Yejing, they led their men to attack the imperial palace. Now the imperial palace guards have been replaced by Yanzhou soldiers, and the important gates in Yejing are controlled by their men. It's just how to deal with it in the future, but we have to wait for Xiao Zhige's instructions.
"Your majesty and the Empress Dowager want to see the Lord." Qiwei road. He said euphemistically, in fact, after knowing that Xiao Zhige had led his troops back, Emperor anqing was so excited that he struggled to get up and summon Xiao Zhige.
The Empress Dowager Zhao has restrained her arrogance, but her words are still unavoidably superior.
"No hurry." Xiao Zhige said, "when these chores are finished, I will enter the palace."
Then he turned to Ji Anmin and others: "what's the matter with Mr. Ji?"
The few people who followed Ji Anmin firmly stood on Xiao Zhige's side. This time, he was also implicated by Xiao Zhige, so he was accused and put into prison. He suffered a lot. So Xiao Zhige was very polite to them.
Ji Anmin bowed slightly and said: "the old minister once asked the Lord if he wanted to replace him, but the Lord refused. For example, today, when the land is favorable and the people are harmonious, the old minister boldly asked, "is it time to break and then establish"
Xiao Zhige's fingers knocked on the table and said in a deep voice, "don't worry, there's one thing that hasn't been solved yet."
People didn't know what he meant for a moment, but since he said so, it's hard to ask again. After all, Emperor Anqing in the palace hasn't died yet, and some of his words can't be too straightforward.
Xiao Zhige discussed with them and arranged everything properly. Then he sent them back to have a rest.
People are not easy these days. Now no one can fight with him. Some things are not urgent for a while.
Waiting for someone to leave, an Changqing came out from behind the screen. He only wore a middle-aged suit and Xiao Zhige's clothes. His clothes were too wide and loose on him, which made him thinner and thinner.
"Wake you up?" Xiao Zhige pulled the man over and let him sit on his lap.
"No, I wake up when I get enough sleep."
After this incident, an Changqing was more dependent on him. The feeling of skin touching made him feel at ease. At this time, he sat on his lap and didn't feel shy. He held his fingers in a friendly manner and asked, "is there anything else I haven't done?"
Xiao Zhige let out a "well", pulled him up, found out his clothes and put them on himself: "since you wake up, come with me."
An Changqing didn't know what Xiao Zhige wanted to do until the carriage entered the palace.
They first went to the palace where anqing emperor was.
This palace is remote, but now it has undergone great changes. Most of the maids and eunuchs are taken to a place and locked up. Only the cool Yanzhou soldiers are outside.Xiao Zhige leads an Changqing in, and the low cough of emperor anqing comes from the bedroom. However, in just one month, he was very old. His hair was gray, his face was orange peel, and his twilight was enveloping him. Even people with no medical skills could see that his life was not long.
Emperor Anqing is now dazed and deaf, and the only eunuch who serves him is also locked up alone. It was not until they came near that he realized someone was coming.
Squinting his eyes for a while, he had a morbid flush on his cheek and said happily, "here comes my son!"
Then he coughed again. He wiped his mouth with a handkerchief and gasped: "that bastard, but you killed him?"
Xiao Zhige couldn't see his emotion on his face. He shook his head and said, "I didn't kill him. I've prepared a better place for him."
Emperor anqing seemed discontented, but he didn't say anything. After a breath, he said, "it's all right. You can do whatever you want. The third one is gone, and I'm no longer fit. The throne can only be passed on to you. Go and get the jade seal, and I will write a Zen edict. In the future, you will be given the great Yejiang mountain... "
"Zen is in me. What will father do?" Xiao Zhige asked.
"I'm old and poisoned by Zhao. I don't think I have much time left. I'll go to Chunshan palace and keep it. "
Last night he arranged his way back. Xiao Zhige can't wait for him to return to heaven and succeed to the throne. Only when he takes the initiative to abdicate, can he become a supreme emperor.
But he has a good plan, but Xiao Zhige is not ready to make him happy.
Xiao Zhige asked with a smile: "my mother and concubine died of injustice in those years. Does my father and Emperor know that?"
The old story again, Anqing emperor's face unconsciously some ugly, but now he is weak, can only suppress that not full nod.
"I think that evil son has shown his nature since then. I hate that I believed his explanation at that time..."
He was indignant, but not guilty.
Xiao Zhige's voice was a little colder, and he said slowly, "Xiao Qiyou will pay for what he has done. How is his father going to compensate his mother?"
An Qingdi looked at him with trembling lips: "you What does that mean? "
"Since my father didn't think about it well, I'll do as I think."
Xiao Zhige's eyes were slightly sharp, and his intention to kill seemed to have substance: "Xiao Qiyou, the abandoned prince, forced his palace to kill his father, his son's minister rescued him late, and his father died under the abandoned Prince's sword how? There are enough accusations about Xiao Qian. It doesn't matter if there are more than one. "
"You, you..." Emperor anqing looked frightened. Seeing that he looked calm, he had already drawn out his sword. He could only prop up his body and step back. He was fierce and said, "killing your father and your king is a great treason! You don't want to succeed? "
Xiao Zhige didn't answer. He put his sword on his chest and pushed it in slowly and firmly: "since you sit and watch your mother's wife die in vain, you should have thought of today."
The sword came out through his heart. Emperor anqing glared in amazement, and a voice of "Ho Ho" came out of his throat. However, no matter how much he was unwilling, he could only gradually lose his breath.
Xiao Zhige looked at him coldly, then released his hand, and the body of emperor anqing fell on his back on the couch.
Not far away, an Changqing watched all this happen, but he didn't stop it. He knew that all these years Xiao Zhige's repressed hatred could be calmed only by cutting it off with his own hands.
Seeing Xiao Zhige's dark face, he came forward to hold the man's hand and said in a soft voice, "let's go."
Xiao Zhige took his hand and walked out with him step by step. Behind them are the dark bedroom and the corpse of Anqing emperor, just like those old decadent past events, which were finally cut off by him and abandoned in the dark corner. From now on, it has nothing to do with him.
