Chapter 7 Chapter 7 Jiangling

A long night that seems to have no end.The boundless darkness enveloped Murong Wanqing like loneliness. Murong Wanqing was sitting on the ground, looking at the starry sky outside, she suddenly felt quite afraid.It's not because I'm afraid that someone will ambush me, but I'm afraid that even if I go out, I don't know where I am going. I don't know how long it took, as if a shout came in from somewhere. "Who are you?" The voice was quite far away, and Murong Wanqing was distracted. Hearing the voice at first glance, it felt like Zhang Zhongjian was shouting. He frowned, thinking that Zhang Jiling had an intention to dig two layers of tunnels underground, and Zhang Yu sealed off Ming Dao again. It stands to reason that even if Chen Bing found the tunnel, he would not be able to chase them for the time being.

Who will it be? She listened attentively, and only heard the whimpering of the wind, which made the leaves rustle, but the whimpering wind and the sound of the leaves made the outside seem surprisingly quiet. Murong Wanqing suddenly became frightened, jumped up, rushed out, was startled again. The exit of the tunnel is actually a natural stone cave. Walking out of the cave, the outside is extremely desolate, the terrain slopes down, and dense forests can be seen in the distance. How can there be such a place in Jinling City? Could it be that they have already arrived at the Zijin Mountain outside Jinling City?

Surprised in Murong Wanqing's heart, she jumped out, looked far away, and saw the huge outline of Jinling City faintly visible in the distance, she couldn't help but be amazed at Zhang Jiling's ability. But apart from weeds, forests, rocky soil and barren hills, there was no one around. Murong Wanqing stood at the entrance of the cave, couldn't help calling softly: "Ran Keqiu..." After a pause, she said again, "Zhang Zhongjian?" There is no echo, only silence. Maybe Zhang Zhongjian left early?Thinking of this, Murong Wanqing felt even more startled for some reason, and walked forward step by step.

Midnight was early and the stars had faded. After walking dozens of steps, Murong Wanqing approached the dense forest ahead, and suddenly her heart skipped a beat. There was a person standing beside the dense forest.Under the night, the man's figure was hazy, making it hard to see clearly. Murong Wanqing couldn't help but asked, "Who are you?" As soon as she asked the question, she immediately realized that Zhang Zhongjian had asked the same question before, her vigilance suddenly rose, and she suddenly felt the air rushing behind her, knowing that someone was approaching her quickly, she yelled, turned her body slightly, and kicked her back.

After she was captured by Zhang Yu, the hidden weapons on her body were searched, but the soft sword was still there, but the enemy came so fast that she didn't even have time to draw the sword.Although she kicked this kick hastily, it was also very powerful, even if the wolf could kick it to death, she didn't want to kick it in the empty space. A man in blue lightly dodged Murong Wanqing's blow, and came behind her, with his right hand and middle fingers poking sharply, it seemed that he was going to poke her eyes blind. Murong Wanqing shuddered, and turned her body upside down, avoiding the blow from the man in blue.

Unexpectedly, the man poked the air with both fingers, flicked quickly, and green smoke flew out from his hand, reaching the tip of Murong Wanqing's nose. Murong Wanqing evaded the urgency, her breathing was rapid, she sucked in all the green smoke, as soon as her feet touched the ground, she felt the sky turn dizzy, she swayed twice, and fell down slowly. It was only when she fell that she realized that she was falling at the feet of the man at the edge of the forest. The man was wearing a green shirt, but it seemed to have turned white after washing, and there seemed to be two patches on it.When Murong Wanqing saw her, she had a feeling of deja vu.

Before she fainted, she looked up with some difficulty, and her heart suddenly shook. She saw Dazhi Yifei's eyes, she had seen this person before. On the boulder on the top of Zijin Mountain, this man came out of nowhere, told her a story, and left quietly. Murong Wanqing has always been puzzled by his intentions, let alone why he collaborated with others to plot against her. Before falling into a coma, Murong Wanqing only thought about one question, who is this person? When the night is getting thinner, the sky is darker, the moon loses its brilliance, and the clouds are looming. When the brightest star in the sky rises, it means that the long night is coming...

But no matter how bright the starlight is, it looks so dim in the splendid palace. Chen Xu was still awake. He was sitting on a gorgeous dragon chair in the hall shrouded in green smoke, looking at the iron cage in the hall. He just looked at the cage quietly, with a blank expression, but his hands holding the handrails tightened little by little, just like his locked heart. There was a slight commotion outside the hall, and in an instant, Princess Linchuan ran in and shouted, "Father, it's great that you haven't slept yet. You..." She suddenly stopped talking, and saw her father looking over, with a smile in her eyes. With an indescribable indifference, his heart sank.

She knew that her father had a habit of always looking at the cage in the quiet night. Many years ago, Chen Xu was always in a cage, living a life that was not as good as pigs and dogs. Although he is now the king of a country, he still can't forget the past. Although he is outside the cage right now, he is still living in the cage... Chen Xu only glanced at Princess Linchuan, then turned to tiptoe, and finally asked, "What's the matter?" Princess Linchuan had a thousand words to ask, but she felt palpitations when she saw this, she took a step forward and said, "Father, didn't you keep telling your daughter that Sun Simiao had saved you, that Sun Simiao was an infatuated person, and that Sun Simiao was also a good person? "

Over the years, Chen Xu has been looking at the iron cage, never forgetting the past, and told Linchuan many times about the past. What he was talking about was the pain and suffering in the past, because he couldn’t get rid of the soaring pain without telling someone. Only after telling, he could spend the long night, but what Princess Linchuan remembered was only the story in the story. Sun Simiao. Chen Xu said indifferently: "So what?" "It's because my father kept saying that my daughter knew about this person and about this person's past. My daughter once said that if Sun Simiao hadn't died, my daughter would marry him."

When Princess Linchuan said this, her starry eyes sparkled. This is her long-cherished wish, and this is what she has always dreamed of. This idea has been with her for many years, and it has long taken root in her heart, occupying her body and mind. She cared too much about her own feelings, but she didn't notice that Chen Xu's face turned cold. "Father also promised his daughter that if there is a chance, he will let her marry Sun Simiao." Princess Linchuan said excitedly, "But why didn't father keep his promise?" "The opportunity has been missed." Chen Xu replied coldly. Princess Linchuan felt chills all over her body, she took a step back and said, "What opportunity did you miss?" "I have already given Sun Simiao a chance, but he did not cherish it." Chen Xu said indifferently, "I have already asked him when I was in the palace." Princess Linchuan's face was as white as snow at that moment, she looked at Chen Xu like a stranger, and said after a long time: "It turns out that what Sun Simiao said is correct." Chen Xu frowned, and asked back, "What did he say?" Princess Linchuan said slowly: "He said the outcome of this scene is doomed!" She instantly recalled everything Sun Simiao said in her mind. "I didn't lie to you, the only one who can lie to you is yourself... The outcome of this scene is already doomed..." "Your father would never give up his decision for you, and if General Chunyu hadn't known about your father's decision, how could he have made such a big move?" She finally understood everything until now, but Sun Simiao had already seen through cause and effect.She didn't believe it at first, but Sun Simiao was right, because they have been living in two worlds. Chen Xu seemed to be startled, his lips moved, and he murmured: "The result is doomed?" "Yes, all the results have already been determined." Princess Linchuan shouted, "Father, you never gave Sun Simiao a chance at all, not at all!" At that moment, her mind was indescribably clear, and the past events flowed through one scene after another. "The ending of everything has been decided. Father, you knew it would be like this, because you arranged the ending, and Chun Yuliang and Wang Yuanzhi are the people you trust the most, and they are also the key figures in this play." "You obviously discussed everything with Wang Yuanzhi and Chunyu, that's why Wang Yuanzhi came and cooperated with you in acting. That's why he didn't resist when he was in prison, because he knew he would come out." "It was you who asked me to put down the cage. Inside the cage was Sun Simiao, but outside the cage was Wang Yuanzhi. It means that you trust the Maoshan sect the most. You have never thought of using Sun Simiao. Zhou Guo came to ask for Sun Simiao, but you have actually decided to hand over Sun Simiao to Zhou." country." "But if you do that, it would be too unfair to Sun Simiao... No, it's not unfair, because it's hard for you to explain to yourself, after all, Sun Simiao saved you..." "So you deliberately pretended to give him a chance, but then dragged him into the vortex to blackmail him, and then you could send him to Zhou Guo in exchange for the six cities in Jiangbei. I know you have always been afraid of Zhou Guo, afraid They called..." Chen Xu's face was livid, he slapped the armrest suddenly, and shouted: "Stop talking." "No, I want to say." Princess Linchuan said sadly, "Father, have you forgotten what you promised your daughter?" "How can important national affairs be entangled by children's private affairs?" Chen Xu said coldly. Princess Linchuan was on the verge of falling, and murmured: "Is it a major national event, or an affair between children?" She didn't believe it, because until now, she only felt that her father was just a little strange, but she never felt his father's severe criticism. Only at this moment did she deeply feel that her wish might never come true again. But she still tried to save her, so she protested: "But Father, don't forget, Sun Simiao saved your life after all." Chen Xu said immediately: "I didn't kill him when I put him in the cage!" "Is this repaying his kindness?" Princess Linchuan asked back. Chen Xu snorted coldly, but said nothing. Princess Linchuan suddenly understood, and couldn't help shouting: "Father, you didn't do this for the great cause of the country at all, but to deceive yourself and others." As soon as the words fell, the hall suddenly fell silent. Princess Linchuan was terrified by the silence, and found it difficult to continue speaking. Chen Xu raised his head slowly, looked at his beloved daughter and said, "You are tired, go back and rest." He didn't know how much effort it took to say these words calmly, the veins on his forehead were throbbing slightly, and the cold light in his eyes was colder than the edge of a knife. When Princess Linchuan saw Chen Xu's appearance, she felt an indescribable strangeness for a moment, her heart twitched and she felt cramps.After a long time, she said: "Father, my daughter knows. But my daughter wants to ask one more thing." Chen Xu remained silent, took a breath, and the coldness in his eyes gradually faded - after all, this was his biological daughter. Princess Linchuan felt even colder: "Daughter wants to ask, is it possible that I will never see Sun Simiao again from now on?" Dream farewell. "Yes." Chen Xu said slowly, "So your best choice is to forget about him!" Princess Linchuan fell down softly. Never being able to meet the one you love is an unbearable pain for anyone, let alone Princess Linchuan whose heart has long been filled with dreams? Of course a person cannot dream forever, but if there is no dream in this life, what is the point? Chen Xu lowered his head and looked at his toes, but he just waved his hand. Some palace servants had already stepped forward and helped Princess Linchuan out. The morning star in the sky became brighter, but in Chen Xu's world, there seemed to be no dawn. There was a coughing sound in the wind, but Chen Xu didn't look up, and asked, "Is everything done?" This is his palace, except for a few people, no one is allowed to move around. He didn't have to look up to know who was coming, because everything was under his control and everything went exactly. Chun Yuliang entered the palace in a wheelchair, covered his mouth and said, "Sun Simiao has tied his hands." "Hold your hands?" Chen Xu was slightly surprised, "He didn't resist?" "No." Chunyu Liang seemed afraid to look directly at Chen Xu, but just lowered his head. Chen Xu was silent for a long time, nodded slowly and said: "General Chunyu has worked hard, you can handle the rest of the matter." Chun Yuliang responded before he was about to leave, when Chen Xu said, "Doesn't Sun Simiao have any requests? For example... want... to see me?" "No, he didn't say anything." Chunyu Liang paused for a while, then asked tentatively, "Does the Holy Majesty want to see him?" "No!" Chen Xu trembled slightly, shook his head quickly, seemed to feel a little uneasy, and said again: "Although Sun Simiao was ordered by heaven to heal me, after all, he has some merits. Take him west, and don't embarrass him along the way." Chunyuliang originally wanted to talk about the sage's virtue, but he opened his mouth and said, "I obey the order." He slowly exited the hall, only to see that the sky was already bright, but the whole palace was plunged into darkness, and the person on the dragon chair was plunged into the deepest part of darkness. Along the river from Jinling, following the twists and turns of the Yangtze River into the territory of Hunan and Hubei, the most famous city is Jiangling City. Jiangling is adjacent to the Yangtze River in the south, Xianghan in the north, Bashu in the west, and Wuyue in the arms. It has always been a famous historical city and the center of the Central Plains. But now Jiangling City is full of desolation. Since the Spring and Autumn Period, countless forces and regimes have established their capitals here, creating unprecedented prosperity in Jiangling.But things are always reversed, and after the prosperity, there is often an endless scene of loneliness. Jiangling has been coveted by the powerful because of its prosperity, and the city has been broken many times. In the Southern Liang Dynasty, Emperor Yuan of Liang established Jiangling as his capital. In a few years, the prosperity of Jiangling was even comparable to that of Chang'an, Luoyang, Yecheng and Jiankang. In the first year of Emperor Gong of the Western Wei Dynasty, the Western Wei army went southward and broke through Jiangling. Emperor Liang Yuan died. However, Jiangling City is now under the control of Chen Guo. The northwest of Jiangling is close to the frontier of the state of Zhou, and the northeast is close to the area of ​​​​the state of Qi. In recent years, Zhou and Qi have fought continuously, and there is no time to take care of this place. Chen Guo took the opportunity to control the land of Jiangling. However, this place has always been the place where the Three Kingdoms had to go through. Therefore, except for some people who are still here to commemorate their homeland and hate migration, most people have stayed away from this once prosperous place. At dusk and sunset, a large cart slowly entered the desolate Jiangling City. There seemed to be something square on the cart, but it was covered with a black cloth so that people could not see what was inside. There was Chen Bing guarding the cart, holding the cart and going straight into Jiangling City.Behind the cart, there was another sedan chair carried by four people, which followed the cart without haste. There was Chen Bing who came forward to investigate, but the leader of the soldiers and guards flashed his hand and hurriedly retreated to the side.When some common people saw it, they inevitably talked about it, and even panicked, feeling that something big might happen. Jiangling City originally consisted of inner and outer cities, Chen Bing escorted the cart and drove straight to a mansion in the inner city of Jiangling. A city guard came out with his men earlier, he was startled when he saw the big cart, he walked quickly to the small sedan chair, and saluted: "City guard Xiao Sigui pays homage to General Chunyu. The general came from a long way, and the last general will know , I couldn’t meet you far away, please forgive me.” The curtain of the sedan chair was raised, before people came out, the sound of coughing came first, and the person sitting in the sedan chair was Chun Yuliang. He haggarded a lot and coughed more violently. "I came here to act in secret, Xiao Chengshou didn't know if it was his fault." Chunyu Liang finally said. Xiao Sigui said in a low voice: "I don't know what purpose the general came here for? But..." He hesitated to speak, but he was quite cautious. "No." Chunyu Liang shook his head as if he had seen through his mind. Xiao Sigui was slightly disappointed, and looked at the cart, full of confusion. Chun Yuliang said: "You order someone to carry the cage on the cart to the lobby." Xiao Sigui had been thinking about what was on the car, and was surprised when he heard it was a cage, and ordered Chen Bing to go forward and remove the black cloth, and saw that the cage was made extremely strong, and the steel bars on the cage were as thick as a child's arm. There was a person sitting cross-legged in the cage, it was Sun Simiao. Seeing the sky for the first time, Sun Simiao slowly opened his eyes and smiled. When Xiao Sigui saw him, he couldn't help being very confused, wondering why General Chunyu took such a person to Jiangling?Seeing the appearance of the cage, he immediately thought that the people locked in the cage must be extremely vicious people. But no matter how he looked at it, Sun Simiao gave him the feeling that he was not a murderer.What's more, he didn't know why a person in a cage would be so calm? Some guards carried the cage into the mansion, Xiao Sigui came back to his senses and asked, "General Chunyu, do you want heavy guards?" Chunyu Liang looked far away, and if he felt lost, he shook his head slowly, and said: "You prepare a good meal." Xiao Sigui hurriedly said: "The last general is going to prepare the dinner and welcome the general." Chun Yuliang shook his head again: "I mean, prepare a good meal for him." He got out of the sedan chair with difficulty, a soldier helped him into the wheelchair, and Chun Yuliang also entered the mansion, leaving only Xiao Sigui who was confused , bursts of confusion. The sunset is far away from the mountains, and the night is falling, covering the great city of Jiangling, full of depression. The lonely lamp in the hall was burning alone, shining on Sun Simiao's somewhat lonely face. He was in the cage, still sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed, as if he was deep in thought, but he didn't seem to think about anything. Chun Yuliang carried a tray in one hand and turned the wheelchair with the other, entered the hall, placed the tray gently on the low table in front of the cage, and coughed a few times. Sun Simiao finally opened his eyes and said with a slight smile, "Thank you, General." These days, when they rushed all the way from Jinling to Jiangling, it was Chunyuliang who personally delivered food to Sun Simiao, but Chunyuliang left after delivering the food, and the two of them rarely talked to each other. Chunyu Liang had no intention of leaving this time, he covered his mouth and said softly, "We're in Jiangling." Sun Simiao said: "Actually, the general doesn't have to work so hard every day to deliver meals, just call a soldier." "The Holy Majesty said, after all, sir was ordered by heaven to save him, so let me take good care of him all the way." Chun Yuliang said quietly, looking at Sun Simiao with complicated eyes. Sun Simiao smiled faintly: "Thank you very much." "Don't you ever hate, sir?" Chun Yuliang couldn't help but ask. "Hate what?" Sun Simiao asked back. Chunyuliang coughed again, but finally didn't say any more, and said, "We're in Jiangling." Sun Simiao seemed to understand something, and said, "The people of Zhou are going to take me away here?" Chun Yuliang nodded slowly: "The agreement is here, so I can only send you here." While speaking, he took out a copper key from his bosom, and was about to open the iron lock on the iron cage. "What is General Chunyu doing?" Sun Simiao asked. Chunyu Liang froze his hands in the air, and after a long time said: "I would like to invite sir out for dinner." "The general is not afraid of me leaving?" Sun Simiao seemed surprised. "You won't go, will you?" Chun Yuliang's eyes flashed with guilt, his hand shook, and the key fell to the ground with a crisp sound. Sun Simiao didn't even look at the key, but said: "If I want to leave, why come?" Chunyuliang coughed suddenly and violently, tightly pulled the fur coat on his body, and curled up into a ball. Sun Simiao looked at him with pity in his eyes, and when Chunyuliang raised his head, Sun Simiao squeezed away the pity. He knew that Chun Yuliang was not someone who needed mercy. Some people hope to live in the pity of others all their lives, but some people think that pity itself is a kind of shame. "It looks like Mr. doesn't look like he's in a cage, but I look like someone in a cage." Chunyu Liang sighed. Sun Simiao smiled: "My cage needs an outsider to open it. But the general's cage can be cracked by myself." "Can I?" Chun Yuliang tremblingly said, seeing that Sun Simiao was silent, he said a little excitedly, "I could, I wanted to work hard together with my husband, together with Princess Linchuan, maybe we could break the cage of Chen Guo. " He said it strangely, how could the country have a prison? But Sun Simiao seemed to understand, and said softly: "You want me to be by Chen Xu's side, and then persuade him?" He knew that the cage of Chen Guo that Chun Yuliang said was Chen Xu. Chun Yuliang nodded vigorously, and said regretfully, "It's a pity that the master refuses!" "You're wrong." Sun Simiao smiled wryly, "It's not that I don't want to, but I can't!" "Can't? Mister can't?" Chun Yuliang asked confused. Sun Simiao smiled—the smile was full of helplessness, but the helplessness quickly melted into the smile. His helplessness was due to his powerlessness, but he never forgot to smile. "What is the most difficult thing in the world, the general thinks?" Chunyu's eyes showed deep thought, and he didn't answer for a long time. He felt that there were too many difficult things to do, and it was difficult to tell which was better. "For the general, the difficult thing is how to maintain the stability of the Chen country, and how to help Chen Xu's northern expedition to the west." Sun Simiao said slowly, "For Hu Lu Mingyue, the difficult thing is how to realize the unification of the world in his lifetime. " When Chunyuliang heard the words Hulu Mingyue, he was slightly shocked and sighed softly. "For Chen Xu, the most difficult thing for him is how to hold everything tightly in his hands, because he can no longer bear the pain of loss." Sun Simiao said again. Chun Yuliang was silent for a long time, finally nodded, and couldn't help asking: "Then what do you think is difficult in the world?" Sun Simiao sighed: "I think the most difficult thing to do in the world is to change a person." "Change a person? Who do you want to change, sir?" Chunyu Liang couldn't help but ask. Sun Simiao shook his head for a while and said, "It's not alone." Chun Yuliang was puzzled, and said again: "It's not a person, what is that?" Although he was unparalleled in resourcefulness, it was still difficult to get in touch with Sun Simiao's thoughts. But Sun Simiao changed the subject and said, "Now Chen Xu has two rows of soldiers living in his heart..." Chun Yuliang frowned, but listened intently, he knew that every word Sun Simiao said had his meaning. "A row of soldiers holding spears is aimed at the danger on the periphery, but a row is facing himself with sharp spears." Sun Simiao said with emotion: "A person he doesn't trust, even if he can help him get rid of the soldiers on the periphery, under pressure, the soldiers on the other layer will inevitably hurt him." Chun Yuliang was dumbfounded when he heard it, and felt that this metaphor was very simple, but also extremely profound, which made people ponder endlessly. It's not just Chen Xu, isn't there two rows of soldiers living in everyone's heart? Thinking of this, Chun Yuliang was a little excited and said: "Then how do we get rid of the soldiers at the innermost level in the emperor's heart?" Somewhat awakened, he said, "Does it only need someone trusted by the emperor?" Sun Simiao was silent.Chun Yuliang couldn't help but continued: "Sir, don't you want to hurt the emperor, so you let go? You think I can do it, so you wake me up?" He thinks he understands—it is so touching. Chen Xu did not believe in Sun Simiao, Chun Yuliang knew this clearly.Even if Sun Simiao saved Chen Xu, it was thirteen years ago. Thirteen years can change many things, not only for Sun Simiao, but also for Chen Xu. Chen Xu's suspicion is so heavy now that it cannot be increased.If Sun Simiao was with Chun Yuliang, plus Princess Linchuan, I'm afraid it would increase Chen Xu's suspicion, and the result of suspicion is unimaginable. Sun Simiao shook his head and said, "I'm afraid you can't." Chunyuliang was slightly taken aback, and couldn't help but said: "Then who can?" "No one can, only Chen Xu himself can." Sun Simiao said slowly, "So in my opinion, people in this world are the most difficult to change, unless he wants to change himself." Chun Yuliang coughed again, sighing in his heart.He finally understood what Sun Simiao meant, but he thought it would be extremely difficult for Chen Xu to change himself. Sun Simiao's eyes flickered, and he suddenly said: "When I first met the general, I was in Zhou State. At that time, the general came to Chang'an to save Chen Xu." Zhou Guo returned to the south of the Yangtze River, and the general made great contributions. The general's body and leg injuries were also caused by rescuing Chen Xu. Therefore, although Chen Xu was quite suspicious, he always trusted the general." Chunyuliang coughed again, and continued intermittently: "That's right, Emperor Wen used several cities in exchange for the saint's return, but the people of Zhou repented halfway and wanted to lead troops to hijack the saint and return to Chang'an. I tried my best to protect the saint and went across the river to Jiankang. Due to his injuries, he could not be treated in time. Only then did the root cause of the cough fall, and it was difficult to stand up again." "But although you can't stand up, and your internal injuries can't be removed, you have gained Chen Xu's trust." Sun Simiao said with emotion, "There is nothing more wonderful than this. Maybe you are in good health and majestic, but it is difficult to get along with him So close." Chen Xu and Chun Yuliang are close, is it because Chun Yuliang has always been in pain?In many cases, if one more person shares the pain, the pain itself will not be so painful? Chun Yuliang coughed again, the cough was full of pain. What hurt him was not Chen Xu's character, but that of many people. "But if you don't get rid of this cough, I'm afraid your life will be sent here." The compassion flashed in Sun Simiao's eyes again. "There's no cure." Chunyuliang didn't look at Sun Simiao, and said indifferently, "I said, I don't care about other people's lives, just because I don't think about my own anymore." Of course he knew that Sun Simiao was an unparalleled genius doctor in the world, if he could heal him, he would have a great hope of survival.But he didn't speak, he didn't want to speak, how could he speak? Sun Simiao looked at Chun Yuliang for a long time, and suddenly said: "The state of Zhou wants to exchange my city, but what did the state of Chen pay for Chen Xu's return to Jiankang?" It's not as simple as a city, but it's a boulder in Chen Xu's heart. After a long silence, Sun Simiao said again: "Farewell is imminent, I still have a doubt, don't say it's not fast." "Sir, please tell me." Chunyu measured. "Of course you all know the art of finding dragons." Sun Simiao said slowly. Chun Yuliang said "Yes", and turned his head to look outside the hall. There was a wind blowing leaves outside the hall, Jiangling was colder than Jiankang, and winter in Jiangling arrived earlier than Jiankang. "When they first asked me to enter the palace, both General Wu and Master Xu seemed to know the dragon-seeking technique very well." Sun Simiao thought for a while, "Chen Xu called me and Wang Yuanzhi into the palace, and there is hope that we can use the dragon-seeking technique to help him find the jade seal. meaning……" Pausing for a moment, seeing that Chunyu Liang was not in the right mind, it seemed as if he didn't take this matter to heart. The theft of the Chuan Guo Yuxi is of great importance, why is Chun Yuliang indifferent? Looking at Chun Yuliang's expression, Sun Simiao suddenly said "Oh", nodded and said, "I understand." "What do you understand, sir?" Chunyuliang suddenly looked at Sun Simiao. It turned out that he had been listening carefully, but why did he have that expression of not caring? Sun Simiao said slowly: "There is no such thing as finding a dragon in the world, and the Jade Seal of Chuanguo is not as effective as in the legend." What he said was the truth, if it is true that owning the Chuanguo Yuxi can own the world, the Qin Dynasty will have a foundation for eternity, and it will not perish after two generations. The fact that the Jade Seal of Chuanguo has been handed down contains great irony in itself. "The Chuanguo Yuxi is more like the comfort and confidence of the weak." Sun Simiao said indifferently, "Therefore, heretics fabricate rumors about searching for dragons in order to echo the emperor's heart." Chun Yuliang's eyes were full of sadness, but he didn't say a word. "Whoever gets the Jade Seal of the Chuan Kingdom will exaggerate the function of the Jade Seal of the Chuan Kingdom, so as to prove that he is destined by heaven." Sun Simiao sighed, "I have always been puzzled by the theft of the Jade Seal of your country. Such a person would actually want to use heresy and illusory techniques to find the jade seal? And General Chunyu doesn't seem to care about the theft of the jade seal. The strangest thing is Chen Xu. .” Looking at Chun Yuliang, Sun Simiao's eyes were clear, "All of these are somewhat unreasonable." "What do you mean, sir?" Chun Yuliang didn't look at Sun Simiao. The fog on Sun Simiao's face rose again, and he said word by word: "I suddenly thought, maybe this is just a show, and maybe the jade seal of your country is not missing at all!" Chun Yuliang coughed again, very urgently, he didn't admit it, but he didn't refute it either. Sun Simiao said again: "Chen Xu has only been the emperor of your country for a few years. Although others don't say it, he must be very disturbed..." Although he is speculating, there will be absolutely no problems. Chen Xu was exchanged for several cities by his elder brother Chen Qian, and he should have expressed his gratitude, but in the end, Chen Xu rebelled against his eldest brother's son and became emperor himself. Although under the desire for power, family ties are really nothing, but Chen Xu is still an individual after all, and he will feel uneasy, not to mention that Chen Qian's acquisition of the throne is also a bit unfair-he only got it after killing Chen Baxian's parents and children. Chen Xu, the emperor, was a little guilty.Therefore, Chen Xu always wanted to appease the hearts of the people, and even his own heart, which created the illusion that the jade seal was stolen. Then he spread the rumor of the Dragon Hunting Technique and invited Wang Yuanzhi to come. Finding the dragon is a fake trick, but Yuxi is not missing. It is not difficult for Wang Yuanzhi to find it. Of course, Wang Yuanzhi will cooperate with this plan, because he can not only gain Chen Xu's trust, but also take the opportunity to expand the prestige of Maoshan sect. If the Chuanguo Yuxi can be lost and recovered, it can show that Chen Xu was ordered by the sky, and the people and officials are ignorant, so perhaps they support Chen Xu. People like Wu Mingche and Xu Ling deliberately or unintentionally exaggerated the technique of finding the dragon, but their real intention was to promote that Chen Xu was ordered by heaven. Everything is a trick of Chen Xu's self-deception, but Chen Xu never thought that Chen Shubao would go to Xiangshuiji because of the theft of the jade seal. This caused an uproar. Sun Simiao finally thought everything through, but he didn't say anything more, he didn't seem to be suddenly enlightened, but rather sad.Not for myself, but for some people's obsession is hard to get rid of. The wind became colder and the coughing continued, Sun Simiao finally said: "It's cold, the general is careful, please go back." Chun Yuliang took one last look at Sun Simiao, there was apology and desolation in that look, he turned the wheelchair silently, and went out of the lobby, he didn't know whether he forgot or what, but he didn't go to get the copper key that fell outside the cage. The light was dim, shining faintly on the copper key. Seeing this, Sun Simiao's eyes flickered, and he frowned suddenly, his expression changed suddenly. Chun Yuliang turned the wheelchair out of the lobby, he didn't dare to look back, he just wanted to go far at that moment, because he really couldn't do more. As for tomorrow's matter, for the first time, he had the idea of ​​pushing it to tomorrow. It's just that when he was still in the courtyard, he looked at the swan trees in the courtyard, and his face suddenly changed. He suddenly felt a tremor—it was not from the bottom of his heart, but from the ground. Shen Lei was stunned, Jiangling City seemed to be shaking at that moment! It's not thunder, it's the sound of horses' hooves—there is a rush of horses' hooves coming from the north. Although Chun Yuliang is not good at walking, after all, he has been on the battlefield for a long time. Hearing the sound, he knew that there were thousands of troops coming, and he was shocked. He turned his wheelchair and went out of the hospital. He saw the police on the long street again and again, and there were civilian soldiers rushing up. street. The city guard Xiao Sigui put on his armor and went out early, when he saw Chunyuliang, he immediately said: "General Chunyu, it seems that some troops have invaded the city, I'll go and have a look." He got on his horse and went straight to the outer city. Chunyuliang couldn't wait for the news, so he ordered his men to push the wheelchairs to the north of the city. Before halfway there, a guard reported, "General Chunyu, some soldiers have arrived in the north of Jiangling city. I don't know where the enemy is." Chun Yuliang was astonished, but he finally reached the north of the city, climbed up to the city gate and took a look, he couldn't help but gasped. The night is thick, the moon is light and the stars are numerous, but the fires below the city are more numerous than the stars in the sky. The overwhelming flames spread from far away, with a menacing momentum, flowing like a galaxy, and it did not stop when it reached the north of the city, flowing to the left and right. After a while, soldiers came to report. "The enemy has sealed off the east of the city!" "The enemy army has arrived in the south of the city!" "The enemy has trapped the north of the city!" In half an hour, the enemy's cavalry were clattering, and the entire Jiangling City had been trapped!
