The old east wind comes to dream

Chapter 117

The rebel army took advantage of the geographical advantage and used the high mountain between Nanzi Mansion and Baiyi Mansion as a barrier. During several battles, Dazhao's army never attacked.The two sides never engaged in close combat, and the casualties were not too many.

The battle began to stalemate.Although the supply of the rebel army cannot be compared with that of the Jokhang army, but in a short period of time, relying on the terrain that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, it is difficult to reverse the situation of the war for a while.

It seemed that the rebels would not be able to last for too long. After a few days of storming, Dazhao's army, led by Lian Shizhi, set up a battle and assumed a posture of protracted confrontation with the rebels.Even the daily attack is just a show, and there is no dead effort.

Gradually, Chen Zhong lost his composure.

He found Daoist Yuan Hui, and Chen Zhong cut straight to the point: "Your Highness, my subordinates feel that those people in Dazhao deliberately procrastinated, as if they were waiting for something."

Daoist Yuan Hui lowered his head slightly, shook his whisk, and said with a smile: "Wait, let them wait. If they don't wait, I will wait too."

Chen Zhong was a little surprised, "I don't know, how long are you going to wait? If the delay continues, the situation will become more and more unfavorable to us!"

Daoist Yuan Hui nodded, "Yes, the current situation is really not good for us." Then he suddenly smiled, "So, we have to wait until the time that is favorable to us comes."

He looked at Chen Zhong again, with faint boredom flashing in his eyes, "General Chen, go back first, don't be impatient. The strength of our two sides is very different, and it is impossible to win by fighting. Just follow the plan I set up and wait until the time comes." , Zhao Kingdom’s imperial court will definitely issue another edict. At that time, if Gu Quan is pushed out, General Chen will be able to retire completely and enjoy the glory and wealth.”

Chen Zhong hesitated in his heart, "Princess, this subordinate is not doing it for glory and wealth. This old slave has been dying for so many years, just to avenge the emperor!"

Yuan Huidao showed impatience on his face, and waved his hand, "I know, you don't need to say more. Okay, you step back first." I couldn't help laughing in my heart, Chen Chao was exhausted, and Chen Fu was himself again. Those who burn themselves to death don't know what revenge they have.She just needs to wait now, when her Chengwu takes over Ziwei's destiny, the whole Dazhao will usher in another world.

Chen Zhong hesitated to speak, but finally he didn't say any more and withdrew.

That night, the cold wind in the valley made people's faces hurt, and an uninvited guest came to Taoist Priest Yuan Hui's camp.

When he saw Taoist Priest Yuanxu's face covered with dust and frost, the wound in Taoist Priest Yuanhui's heart that had been covered with dust was pulled again, and the pain was filled.

She looked at Daoist Yuan Xu, her eyes were full of sarcasm, "Why, brother Shu finally figured it out, are you coming to help me?"

Daoist Yuanxu said in a difficult tone, "Junior Sister, I came here to persuade you to rein in the precipice, don't make the same mistake again——"

Daoist Yuan Hui stood up suddenly and glared, "Yuan Shu!" She was obviously very angry, the wooden chair behind her was thrown to the ground, and it shattered with a "bang".

Daoist Yuan Xu let out a long sigh, got up and approached Daoist Yuan Hui, and tentatively grabbed her robe sleeve. "Junior Sister, our Chengwu should have left 23 years ago. The way of heaven is perpetual, it shouldn't be forced to stay, and it can't be forced to stay."

"Emperor Ziwei is the lord of the world. It is our duty to protect the way of heaven. Now that Zizhan has become the heir, Gu Zhen has lost his luck and will not live long. After all, the crimes he committed, Even if this life is not finished, the next life will have to suffer to pay off the debt, and the reincarnation of the heavens will have its own retribution."

"I have wasted most of my life, and now I have seen through my obsession. Junior sister, I can't bear you to suffer from this obsession. Why don't you just let it go. In the future, you and I will find a secluded mountain forest, where there will be no outsiders to disturb us, and we will be together for the rest of our lives." How are you?"

Daoist Yuan Hui stared at him fixedly, and when he heard Daoist Yuanxu say the last sentence, his no longer young face lost his focus for a moment.She stared blankly at Daoist Yuanxu, and repeated in a low voice: "Let go of your obsession, and stay with you for this life?"

Suddenly, she ruthlessly pushed Taoist Priest Yuan Xu away, and shouted in a sharp voice: "Yuan Shu, you are so shameless! At the beginning, you were the one who told me first that you wanted to avenge the sect! Why is it that you are now You want me to let go of my obsession?"

"I've lived half my life for this, why do you want to be a good person in a few words?" By the end of the words, Taoist Yuan Hui was almost insane, his eyes were red.

In the end, she calmed down a little, and said word by word: "Whether you want to take revenge or not is up to you! But I can't just sit and watch my child disappear! Gu Che can have Ziwei's destiny, and my Cheng Wu can do the same." Possession! If you come to stop me again, don't blame me for not being respectful!"

Daoist Yuan Xu was pushed away by her, his figure gradually became a little hunched, his shoulders drooped, and he sighed lowly: "Sister Xuan, it's too late."

Daoist Yuan Hui was startled, then he seemed to suddenly remember something, turned around and ran out.

Daoist Yuan Xu spoke behind her: "Gu Quan, he has been taken away."

Daoist Yuan Hui couldn't bear it any longer, he turned around, the whisk in his hand trembled violently a few times, and attacked Daoist Yuanxu viciously!Daoist Yuanxu only put on a defensive posture, and within a few breaths, his chest was swept by the whisk, and blood oozes out immediately.His breath was a little weak, "Sister Xuan, open your eyes and take a look! The sky has changed!"

In the sky to the north, the vermilion color in Ziweiyuan is pure, and there is no more black air.A cloud of peaceful purple air lingers around it.

Outside the valley, there were sudden killing sounds.Liu Mulan led the Huangni army as the vanguard, boarded the path, and led the troops to kill them.

At the foot of the mountain, Lian Shizhi stood in front of his horse.Beside him, a young man in black armor was Gu Zizhan.

In this battle, without any suspense, Dazhao's army won a complete victory.

When Gu Quan, who was already unconscious, was brought down, Gu Zizhan took a look, and asked the soldiers of the Xiaofeng Camp, who were already the guards of the Eastern Palace, to take him down.By Gu Quan's side at this time, Hu Pei and other confidantes had been killed by Taoist Yuan Hui, and only one concubine, Qu Shi, remained by his side.

Daoist Priest Yuan Xu was seriously injured.When Gu Zizhan faced him, he felt a little complicated.In the end, according to his wish, he dispatched a group of brave soldiers to escort him back to Tianshu Mountain.

Chen Zhong took some remnants of the defeated generals and fled towards the mountains to protect Taoist Priest Yuan Hui.On the one hand, Gu Zizhan arranged for Liu Mulan to lead people to pursue him, and on the other hand, he issued a notice stating that Gu Quan, a commoner, was held hostage by the remnants of the previous dynasty and died in the rebellion.

Thinking it was a father-son affair after all, the current crown prince asked people to transport the relics of the common man Gu Quan back to Fengdu, and erected a thinly dressed tomb outside the imperial mausoleum.Emperor Tianshun also issued an edict stating that Gu Qingyuan, the second son of Gu Quan's son, was in the capital and had nothing to do with his father's rebellion.

A few days later, Liu Mulan sent back news that Chen Zhong was captured alive, and the rest of the party strangled them all.Daoist Yuan Hui committed suicide before their siege.

Gu Zizhan felt a little heavy.

Since she regained consciousness, many memories flooded her mind.Gu Che, who has gone through many reincarnations, has left the memories of every life she has experienced in Gu Zizhan's consciousness.

Gu Zizhan already knew about Chu Lan's life experience and the truth about the death of her biological mother, Mrs. Fu.For Chu Lan, she felt even more distressed, and wished she could fly back to the capital to accompany her.

However, on the way back to the army, another incident happened.

Gu Quan is dead.

Qu Shi, who was also in a mess, ended Gu Quan's ups and downs and sinful life with a silver hairpin.

Seeing Qushi who was kneeling in front of him with disheveled hair, Gu Zizhan sized her up carefully, and asked, "Why did you kill him?" Laughed until tears filled his face.

Gu Zizhan looked at her patiently.Qushi cried for a long time, and finally exhausted, panting and calmed down.Her eyes were empty and lifeless, but she bit her lips tightly and did not say a word.

Gu Zizhan repeated in a calm tone, "Why did you kill him?"

Qu's was silent for a long time, then slowly said: "My surname is Cao. Gu Quan, he killed my whole family."

"It is only right and proper to repay debts and pay for life by killing people."

Qu Shi is from Jiangbei, because of her outstanding appearance since she was a child, Gu Quan's subordinates in Jiangbei have targeted her and wanted to snatch her away and raise her as a prostitute.She found an excuse and sent her whole family to prison.Just in time for the disaster victims in Jiangbei to change, Gu Quan's subordinates asked Gu Quan for his advice and killed many poor people, including the Cao family, and took their heads.Only she and her elder brother survived because of their young age.

Later, her elder brother was arranged by Gu Quan's party to enter the East Palace.Later, Gu Quan's followers threatened her life and asked her elder brother to frame Dong Gong. In the end, even when she died, she was silent and inconspicuous.

If she hadn't heard someone mention it by chance, she wouldn't have known about it.But even if he knew, he could only live like an ant.

Until, relying on deliberate flattery, she finally entered Prince Yu's mansion as Qu Yan.Gu Quan showed no pity for her, she stayed by Gu Quan's side every day to flatter her, and suffered from rape, just to be able to end the life of her enemy with her own hands one day.She doesn't even care about living anymore, so why should she care about dying?

After Gu Zizhan learned the truth, he didn't say anything more, and asked Huang Niejun to take her down.

Liu Mulan was a little embarrassed, and asked, "My lord, what do you plan to do with this man?"

Gu Zizhan shook his head and sighed softly: "Let her go, if she wants to die, save her three times." Everything has a cause and effect, and everyone has different choices, and they must be responsible for their own choices .If she can't cherish these three opportunities, then she can only respect her choice.

**********

Five days later, just before the New Year's Eve, the army returned to the capital.

After this turmoil, Gu Zizhan's reputation among the people has increased a lot.

Emperor Tianshun personally went to Zhuque Gate to welcome Gu Zizhan and the army to return triumphantly.

Seeing the pristine army, and Gu Zizhan being welcomed by the common people, a look of fatigue flashed across Emperor Tianshun's brows.

He is really old and really tired.

In the evening, a celebration banquet was held in the palace, Emperor Tianshun left the banquet early, and went to Hekun Palace to tease Manman.

Finally, after drinking three cups of wine, Emperor Tianshun was a little exhausted, leaning on the bed, holding his slender hands sideways, teasing her with a smile.

The queen gave him a sharp look, "Don't smoke your body with the smell of alcohol."

Emperor Tianshun touched the child's little hand again, and then stood up and went back to her, "Manman likes me, don't frown, the wrinkles on your face should scare Xiaomanman." After speaking, he went to tease Manman, "Isn't it, my little grandson?"

The queen was angry and funny, "I think you've gone back as you get older, but do you still want a bit of emperor's face?"

Emperor Tianshun was reluctant to let go, and used his free hand to touch the baby's tender cheeks. The grandpa and grandson had a great time playing. In his busy schedule, Emperor Tianshun took the time to answer the queen's words. "Grandpa is shameless, it's enough for grandpa to have Xiaomanman. Look at your grandma, she is jealous of Manman being good to grandpa, oh, her face is green with anger."

Empress laughed angrily, slapped Emperor Tianshun's hand off, glared at him, got up and asked the maid to find the nanny.He picked up little Gu Lang and handed it to the nanny to put him to sleep.

After all the people left, he turned around and said to Emperor Tianshun: "It's getting late, Your Majesty, please go back quickly, don't be an eyesore here."

Emperor Tianshun shook his gray eyebrows, "I won't leave, this is my harem, I won't leave today."

The queen stepped forward, glanced at him, and suddenly asked: "Yuanlang, what's the matter with you today? Are you tired? Or is there something else in the court that bothers you?" However, the tiredness hidden by Emperor Tianshun could not escape her eyes.

Emperor Tianshun lay down on his back, and covered his eyes with his hands when he heard the title that the empress had not heard for a long time.After a long time, he let out a foul breath and sighed, "Yeah, I am indeed a little tired."

He propped himself up again and looked at the queen, and asked tentatively, "What do you think, Ah Che, how is it?"

The queen sat down beside him, and the two held hands very naturally.Showing a slight smile, he said to Emperor Tianshun: "Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. If you are tired, why don't you rest at ease and have a good time with your grandchildren. It's time for us to enjoy family happiness. Ah Che My child, after going through this serious illness, I watched him become more stable."

The two looked at each other quietly, and after a long time, Emperor Tianshun smiled lonely.He patted the queen's hand.

"Yeah, you are more transparent than me."

The celebration banquet lasted until late at night, and everyone was drunk before finally dispersing.

Gu Zizhan didn't drink much, and quietly used his internal force to force out a lot of alcohol, but his mind was still clear.

On the way to the East Palace, she walked in a hurry, and the maids behind her were panting.

As soon as he arrived outside the courtyard wall of the East Palace, Gu Zizhan saw the beautiful woman waiting in the corridor from afar.

Taking three steps in parallel, Gu Zizhan stepped forward and hugged Chu Lan tightly into his arms.

Chu Lan only felt a warm breath on her neck, and someone sighed softly in her ear.

"Lan'er, I miss you so much."

Chu Lan's eyes suddenly became hot, and there was a feeling of being separated for a long time, lingering in his heart.
