Chapter 500

Gradually, Liu Xu's face appeared to be afraid of people, two rows of teeth slightly friction up, issued a man-made voice.

"Call wil." Liu Xun said softly.

"No

After a while, a young general with a five point resemblance to Liu Xun came in and clasped his hands.

"What's the matter, uncle?"

Liu Xun chuckled. He put his hand on the shoulder of his elder brother's son Liu Wei. He said in a low voice, "Wei'er, Yuan Shu is defeated today. Ji Ling comes to our Lujiang River to seek shelter. Later, he will enter the city. I want you to ambush the swordsman in the hall. If you hear the uncle's order, kill him immediately and cut Ji Ling into meat sauce, OK?"

Liu Wei was stunned and puzzled: "uncle, it seems that there is something wrong with such a behavior of taking advantage of others' danger..."

Liu Xun sneered: "Wei Er, do you know how many people are still under Jiling?"

"More than ten thousand?"

"Hum!" Liu Xun snorted: "more than ten thousand? There are only less than 2000 disabled and defeated generals under Ji Ling's command. If he enters the Lujiang City, he will have to dictate and take over the military power in one's hands. "

"Uncle has been in the city of Lujiang for many years, and it's not easy to have tens of thousands of soldiers!" Liu Xun angrily said: "if Ji Ling took the military power, would it be a waste of money?"

"Will you see your uncle's fortune destroyed?" Liu Xun asked.

"OK..." Liu Wei arched his hand and looked awe inspiring: "in this case, I will go down to prepare."

"Go ahead." Liu Xun waved.

After all the arrangements were made, Liu Xun decided to welcome Ji Ling and his party into the city.

"It's just a matter of going there in person. The prefect just sits in the city. Why should he go out in person?" Liu Xun will advise.

"No way." Liu Xun stepped on the horse's back, holding the whip in his hand, and said: "hearing is false, seeing is believing. This will have to go and see for yourself to be at ease."

"Drive!"

Liu Xun, with more than a hundred horses, galloped out of the city of Lujiang, and walked several miles ahead, only to find a young soldier stationed in the same place.

"General Ji, Yang Changshi, is your majesty here?" Liu Xun came out from the horse and yelled at a group of defeated generals.

Liu Xun's Lujiang army, at any rate, had distinctive armour, while yuan's army, who had escaped from Shouchun City, was in tattered armour, not like an army, but rather a refugee.

Seeing a group of disabled soldiers and defeated generals, they were in a daze and at a loss. Liu Xun even frowned, rode his horse forward, and said, "general Ji Ling, where is your majesty?"

"Ben will be here!"

There was a sudden agitation among the crowd, followed by wave splitting, and a road appeared generally. A general rode out. Although Ji Ling had been fleeing, he was covered with blood and looked Dishevelled. However, his valiant spirit was not reduced at all, and his spirit was fierce.

"General Ji." Liu Xun arched his hand and said, "where is your majesty?"

Ji Ling majestically said: "please Liu Taishou to stay with his entourage and follow me alone. Don't be surprised by Shengjia."

"Easy to say, easy to say." Liu Xun turned his head and told his entourage a few words behind him and followed him behind Ji Ling.

"Liu Taishou." Ji Ling suddenly said.

"What can I do for general Ji?" Liu Xun did not know why.

"No matter what Liu Taishou sees later, don't be shocked. Be calm. Do you understand?" Ji Ling said in a low tone.

"No Liu Xun promised to come down, but he said in his heart: what happened? Ji Ling told me so...

Ji Ling led Liu Xun into the ranks of the disabled soldiers, until he came to a broken carriage.

"Liu Xun, see your majesty!"

Liu Xun guessed that Yuan Shu was in the carriage, so he jumped down from the horse's back and bowed to him. However, there was no echo in the carriage for a long time. Yuan Shu did not speak, and Liu Xun did not dare to get up.

"Governor Liu, please get up."

A gentle voice came into his ears. Liu Xun looked up and saw that it was Prince Yuan Yao.

"My father... Has been buried a few days ago." Yuan Yao choked.

"What?" Liu Xun was surprised and looked at Yang Hong in disbelief: "Yang Changshi, is it true what the prince said?"

Yang Hong nodded heavily: "empress Liu, your Majesty's health has not been very well since he broke through the city of Shouchun. A few days ago, he died of hemoptysis. We were worried that the soldiers would escape after knowing about it. Therefore, we kept secret and cremated His Majesty's body and escorted him."

"Your majesty!" Liu Xun burst into tears and threw himself on the carriage. It was sad to see him.

"Liu Taishou!" Ji Ling murmured: "forget what Ben Jiang said to you just now?"

"Yes." Liu Xun heard Jiling yell, this just stopped crying, but is still full of tears.

"Prince!" The emperor's successor, Mr. Liu, is the emperor's successorHearing this, Yuan Yao was deeply moved. He also grasped Liu Xun's palm with his backhand: "Liu Taishou, please do everything!"

Liu Xun arched his hands and said, "please mount the prince. General Ji, Yang Changshi and Ben will personally escort the prince into the city and prepare to ascend the throne."

"Good." In fact, Yuan Yao was not very keen on becoming emperor. He witnessed his father Yuan Shu from prosperity to decline and was besieged by various princes. In fact, Yuan Yao had already thought of becoming a minister to Luoyang.

My father is dead. Liu Ye's tone of voice should be relieved, right?

However, I was not in a hurry. I followed Liu Xun into the city and settled down.

Liu Xun led hundreds of riders to lead the way. Yang Hong, Ji Ling and a group of soldiers escorted Yuan Yao into Lujiang city. In terms of prosperity and wealth, Shouchun city is the capital of Huainan, Lujiang city is just a county of Yangzhou, so it is not as prosperous and rich as it is. However, Yuan Yao and others suddenly enter the city and look at the pedestrians coming and going on the street these days, which makes them feel a lot of emotion.

"Come on." Liu Xun ordered: "settle everyone down."

After giving orders to the officials, Liu Xun immediately led Ji Ling and others to the post house. The post house in Lujiang city had been cleaned by Liu Xun in advance. Liu Xun bowed his hand and said respectfully, "please let the prince enter the post house for a few days. After bathing and dressing, we will discuss the big plan together."

Yuan Yao nodded and sighed: "my father has passed away, so I'll take care of all the generals." After that, Yuan Yao walked into the post house under the service of the Sheren.

Liu Xun has been watching Yuan Yao enter the post house, his eyes flashed a trace of imperceptible sharpness.

"Yang Changshi, general Ji." Liu Xun stretched out his hand and said, "let's go into the government to discuss business."
