Dressed As the Deadly Opponent of the Male Protagonist of the Imperial Examination
Chapter 100: The emperor died
"Humph!"
Pei Yunxiao took it and took a bite angrily, thinking that it would be best not to leave Tang Heng a bite!
It's a pity that the pheasant is relatively large, and it's meaty, so it's not easy to bite. After taking a few bites, Pei Yunxiao felt that he didn't want to eat it anymore.
Tang Hang took it naturally, ate what she had left, and said, "Next time I go to catch a rabbit, the meat quality should be better."
Hearing this, Pei Yunxiao wanted to pretend to be angry, and couldn't keep pretending to be angry.
After eating, Tang Heng took Pei Yunxiao and left the cave, moved the hiding place, and destroyed the traces of their stay before leaving.
This cliff is extremely steep, and the killers have to go around for a day if they want to come down and search.
They must walk upstream along the icy river in the valley, and cannot hide in one place for too long, so as not to be easily found.
Along the way, the two looked for a cave to rest. It's winter, and there are hibernating snakes hidden in some caves and crevices in the valley.
If it were before, Pei Yunxiao would scream when he saw a snake. But thanks to Pei Yunji's gift, she can now live with them in the same room without changing her face.
In the night two days later, they finally met the killer who came down to look for them.
The two hid behind the rock, listening to the group of people talking loudly around the campfire.
"Hit the arrow and fell off the cliff, why did they run so fast? Didn't even leave a trace?" said a man in black.
Another person who seemed to be a leader took over: "If we can't find anyone, we won't go back!"
"Anyway, if people are falling, just treat them as dead?" Another person complained, "I have been looking for a few days. I'm almost freezing to death in this weather!"
The leader didn't say much to him, and thought about a way for himself: "You said, if they didn't die, would they find their way out by themselves?"
"of course!"
"The place where we came down is an exit, so from here to the west along the river, will there be an exit too?" The leader thought of the key point.
"Yeah! Let's stay there, they will show up sooner or later!" One person immediately agreed.
"Yes! If they don't come for more than seven days, they are dead, and we will return to the capital to report." The other person agreed.
Speaking of Beijing, a group of killers are in a bad mood.
"It's his mother, it's freezing cold to let the Laozi go to the gutters to kill people, and they will stay in Beijing to do their jobs by themselves, I'll sing!"
"There are also Lao Zhang's grandsons. We won't put us in the eyes of the merits of saving the young master, and now they don't know how to show their courtesy in front of the young master!"
"Okay!" The leader interrupted them: "It's getting late, go to bed quickly, we have to hurry tomorrow!"
Several people extinguished the bonfire and returned to another cave.
After the rock, Tang Hang and Pei Yunxiao, who heard everything, looked at each other, and they had a bad premonition in their hearts.
"Young Master..." Pei Yunxiao remembered the name of the killer: "It should be Zhao Xiwen or He Can. It seems that it is really the dead man of the Zhao family or the He family."
"And they said to make merit in the capital? What merit can be made in the capital? It's so strange."
"Didn't Zhao Xiwen and He Can say that they were abandoned by the family? Why are they still called "Young Master"?" Tang Heng also found the doubt.
"Aheng, I mean, let's change our plan and go straight to the capital. I'm afraid that something big will happen if it's too late!" Pei Yunxiao's heartbeat was extremely fast, anxious.
She tried to recall the plot in the book, but there was no rebellion against King Rong in the book. Zhao Xiwen and He Can were never demoted from Beijing, and the plot was no longer right!
"Okay, let's go now!"
The two found a way out overnight, and quickly found Tang Hang's extremely spiritual BMW horse. They dared not delay the slightest and hurried to the capital.
After more than ten days of rushing around the clock, the two dressed up in disguise, arrived at the small county not far from the capital.
As soon as he entered the city, a shocking thunderbolt hit the head.
Pei Yunxiao stood in front of the window on the second floor of the inn, looking at the plain white on the street, his eyes lost their spirit, and he could not accept the facts before him.
There is only one possibility for the whole city to be plain, and the whole country to be mourned.
The emperor, the hills fell!
"Xiaoxiao." Tang Heng walked in with the food, looked at the desolate figure in front of the window, and sighed inwardly: "Let's eat something."
Both of them had the emperor's trust.
Even if this emperor is not exactly the eternal Mingjun in history, he has selfish desires, compromises, and weighs the pros and cons as a last resort.
But Tang Hang also believed that this was an emperor who wanted to do something, and a monarch who wanted to change something. This alone was enough to make him loyal!
What's more, the emperor also has an incomparable kindness to him!
Scholars die for their confidants. Since ancient times, scholars of literati and lofty ideals have their greatest desire to have a Mingjun who can be a prince and courteous corporal in order to realize their political ambitions.
And all of this, Tang Hang and Pei Yunxiao were with the emperor and got a certain degree of satisfaction.
Tang Heng did not dare to recall.
Obviously a few months ago, he told him that he was the only credible emperor in the army, and promised him that he will be the emperor who will be in control of the world when he comes back from the rebellion. How can he suddenly say no , It's gone?
Even he is so unacceptable, let alone Pei Yunxiao, who has been favored by the emperor since he was a child.
"I... don't really want to eat." Pei Yunxiao replied softly.
In her heart, the emperor and Pei Ling were the people who led her to lead her way. Even though her position is different from them, she regards them as elders whom she respects and is worth learning.
After Pei Ling died, she had no more support in Pei's house. The so-called blood relatives brought her no warmth except harm.
Now that the emperor is dead again, will she be isolated and helpless since she is in the dynasty?
"Xiaoxiao, you have to cheer up." Tang Heng stepped forward to comfort him.
"Your Majesty's sudden death, there must be hidden secrets in this matter. I don't know how unpredictable the situation in Beijing is! You can only find out the truth as soon as possible and take control of the situation as soon as possible in your own hands!"
Pei Yunxiao turned his head and looked at Tang Hang: "I know, why don't I know..."
"Grandfather left, Your Majesty left again, and Chu Fang, Yu Xian and others...I walked step by step to this day, why, it seems that I still haven't got anything?"
"Why don't you get anything? The influence your Majesty and Master Tai Fu have on you will always remain in your heart. Every step you have taken for so many years has also left footprints." Tang Hang looked back firmly in his eyes. she.
"Now, it's just that the eagle is gone, and the young eagle has grown up. It should be time to fly high alone!"
The mist in Pei Yunxiao's eyes opened little by little, as if there was a light splitting the haze in her heart, stimulating the fighting spirit in her heart.
"You are right!" Pei Yunxiao's eyes lit up suddenly: "How can I be isolated and helpless?"
"My grandfather leaves, I can control Pei's family. Now that your Majesty is dead, I can also control the court!"
Tang Hang was finally relieved—this is the indomitable Pei Yunxiao in his mind!
"Counting time, the army led by Chi Yuan and Du Shao should have returned to Beijing. Tomorrow we will go to the military camp in disguise to see what happened!"
"good!"
The next night, Tang Hang and Pei Yunxiao found the camp of the Weiping rebel army in Gyeonggi.
To his two's expectations, the army was forced to be stationed a hundred miles away from the capital without entering the capital at all.
Fortunately, everything around Daying was still controlled by Chi Yuan, so as soon as Tang Heng and Pei Yunxiao arrived at the camp gate, Chi Yuan received the news.
"A Hang! You are really fine! Great!" Chi Yuan almost burst into tears when he saw Tang Hang's first glance.
Du Shao is no exception.
After Tang Hang and Pei Yunxiao entered the big tent, they learned that Zhou Bi, Jinnian and Jinying had also arrived, only three days earlier than them.
"Clarify everything!" Tang Hang said.
Chi Yuan immediately said: "A major event has happened in the capital. Your majesty died. The little prince of Concubine He was supported by Zhao and He to the throne. All other princes were imprisoned!"
"The news from the capital is..." Chi Yuan paused.
"What is it?" Pei Yunxiao asked, but he had some expectations in his heart.
"It is said that the general colluded with the King Rong rebels, led troops out of the city in the name of countering the rebellion, pretending to counter the rebellion, and actually turned the horse's head back to Beijing...killing the king to seize the throne!" Chi Yuan said.
"And the second mansion of He and Zhao are loyal and turn the tide, so that you can be subdued and executed for treason. As for the army, you have also been accused of treason, and you are staying here now, just waiting for punishment."
Tang Heng "slapped" his palm to the table.
It turned out to be like this! Want him to die, and charge him for such unfaithfulness! Ruthless enough! Toxic enough!
Apparently, they thought they really died under the cliff, so they dare to slander and slander so unscrupulously.
"Zhou Bi, you have been following Zhao Xiwen and the others, what's the situation?"
"Zhao Xiwen and He Can were taken back to the capital. It was the Zhao family and the He family. The capital is now very tightly sealed, and the news inside is not known yet." Zhou Bi replied.
Pei Yunxiao immediately remembered Zhao Xiwen's words.
It turned out that he meant that the winning or losing has not yet been determined, which is what he meant.
Now, she finally knew what Zhao and He wanted to do.
"Brother, Zhao Xiwen and He Can's rebellion are fake."
"Why did Master Pei say this?" Chi Yuan was taken aback.
"To be precise, it is true and false." Pei Yunxiao said more rigorously: "The king Rong rebelled because he was rebellious, otherwise he would not have raised so many private soldiers. Steal the court’s horse."
"I have never figured out that the He family has the imperial heir born of the concubine He, and the queen mother of the Zhao family is behind her back. Why should Zhao Xiwen and He Can do such a rebellious thing?"
"They are just being demoted, not maimed or dead. These two families have spent so much resources and effort on them, how can they say that they are abandoned and abandoned? Their motives of turning to the King Rong are simply untenable!"
"Then there is only one explanation." Tang Heng immediately added: "It is the Zhao family and the He family, who have taken advantage of the rebelliousness of King Rong, and they are also rebelling!"
The author has something to say: King Rong: I am a tool man...
