MTL - Rebirth of Glory and Splendour-Chapter 56 Ling Chi
Tuoba Xianhan's face was brightly written with the words "This place is not suitable to stay for a long time", Wei Chongrong did not hesitate for too long, and followed him out of the small courtyard where he had been imprisoned for several days.
Wei Chongrong had never lived in Qingjia City, so he was completely unfamiliar with the route, and he didn't know where Tuoba Xianhan was going around and taking him. But he believed that Tuoba Xianhan would not harm him, because there was no need for that.
After walking for half an night in the dark, Tuoba Xianhan stopped in front of a dilapidated residential building. Wei Chongrong didn't know why, so he stopped when he saw him stop, and looked at the surrounding environment with wide eyes curiously.
Tuoba Xianhan unscrewed the rusted copper lock and quietly entered the house. Under the influence of him, Wei Chongrong also kept his footsteps very light, as if he was afraid of scaring anyone. In fact, there was no one in the room, and the furniture was covered with a thick layer of ash.
Tuoba Xianhan found two stools out of nowhere, sat on one by himself, and handed the other one to Wei Chongrong.
Wei Chongrong was not polite, took the stool, sat down, and asked earnestly: "Can you tell me the reason now? You can't save me for no reason, but I think about it, but I can't think of your reason. what."
Tuoba Xianhan lit an oil lamp, the light was dim and dim, and it looked very shabby when it shone on people's faces. He took off his robe, tore off the bandage wrapped around his right arm, and asked without answering, "Do you like to get to the bottom of things so much?"
Wei Chongrong's face became more serious: "Our two positions are completely different, and there is still a vendetta between us for killing our father... Oh! Your injury is not good? Why does it seem to me to change? more serious..."
Tuoba Xianhan was injured on his right arm, and it was very inconvenient to apply the medicine by himself. Wei Chongrong thought that he had helped him twice, and no longer bothered about the reason, he took the initiative to walk over to help him apply medicine, and said, "I see Your wound is an old one that was not healed and torn again, and it is still a little inflamed. You'd better pay attention. Don't use your right hand for a few days. …”
Wei Chongrong chatted for a while, gave Tuoba Xianhan good medicine, and bandaged the wound tightly before sitting back again.
Tuoba Xianhan pursed his lips and smiled, and suddenly asked, "Does your second highness know who I am?"
Wei Chongrong stared at the sky speechlessly, and showed him the large whites of his eyes: "Of course I know, you are Tuoba Xianhan."
Tuoba Xianhan was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized: "Oh, by the way, Zhezhe called me by my name that day."
Wei Chongrong shook his head: "The first time I saw you, I knew who you were." Satisfied to see Tuoba Xianhan's surprised expression, he continued: "When I was three years old, you used The slingshot hit me, it hurt so bad, and it hit two stones in a row."
Tuoba Xianhan was stunned and said for a while, "Second Highness, do you want to hold revenge like this?" If Wei Chongrong hadn't mentioned it, he would have forgotten what happened when he was a child.
Wei Chongrong shrugged and said again: "But when Pei Di let someone beat me, you let the water go."
Tuoba Xianhan let out a long sigh, feeling powerless to complain, and then sighed: "Second Highness, in fact, our backgrounds are similar." Fortunately, he did not stand firmly on the opposite side of Wei Chongrong, this guy is too vengeful .
Wei Chongrong was inexplicable and stared at him blankly, not understanding what was going on.
Seeing that he was puzzled, Tuoba Xianhan could only say more clearly: "My mother is a Han girl, and she was taken to Fuyu by someone."
Wei Chongrong suddenly realized that Tuoba Xianhan said the same thing, so it turned out to be the case.
Tuoba Xianhan laughed at himself, and then said, "My mother's biggest wish during her lifetime was that one day I can return to the Central Plains." He promised his mother, but he never found a suitable opportunity, even if he returned to the Central Plains , he will not be willing to be subordinated.
"Do you think I'll believe your words?" Wei Chongrong raised his eyebrows, his tone obviously full of suspicion.
Wei Chongrong was dubious about Tuoba Xianhan's words. His background might be true, but in Fuyu, there were not only one or two children born to Han girls, but a few of them had their hearts on Dayan. People from Fuyu, why should Tuoba Xianhan be an exception?
"It doesn't matter what I say. What matters is what I did." Tuoba Xianhan was not surprised by Wei Chongrong's doubts about him, nor did he expect to be able to change with just a few words of his own. Wei Chongrong's opinion of him, he still needs to find a chance to prove himself.
Whether what Tuoba Xianhan said was true or not, he could observe it slowly in the future, Wei Chongrong turned and asked, "What happened to He Rongling and Fulida? Why did they ask you to take me out of Helianzhuo's hands? Take it out?"
"This matter is a long story..." Tuoba Xianhan thought for a while, and found that it was not easy to explain the cause and effect of the matter.
Wei Chongrong hurriedly interrupted him and reminded: "Then you should keep the story short and don't go too far."
"In short, the Majesty wants to use you to negotiate terms with King Qin, and if they can't agree, he will kill you. But Lord He Rong and Madam Zuo feel that the terms he proposes are too harsh, and King Qin will never agree, and If you die, you will anger the King of Qin and bring disaster to Fuyu... You know the temper of the majesty, it's not very good, and the Dae clan and the eldest prince look at you, and they are also very unpleasant, Lord He Rong Mrs. and Zuo were worried about an accident, so I got you out of the palace first, but..."
"But He Rongling didn't expect that my father, King, would not be willing to take any hardships, and would not agree to any conditions. He was determined to expel you to the north of the Yaslan Mountains, so he changed his mind and wanted to kill me, didn't he? "Wei Chongrong added the complete Tuoba Xianhan's words.
"Yes." Tuoba Xianhan nodded and said, "Your Majesty and Lord He Rong mean that on the day the Dayan army besieged the city, they will tie you to the front of the battle and force the King of Qin to retreat. If he refuses to retreat, he will punish you ,to you…"
No matter how cruel He Rongling was to Wei Chongrong, Tuoba Xianhan thought it was understandable. Everything he did was for the benefit of Fuyu. But Helianzhuo and Tuoba Xianhan couldn't figure out whether he had ever regarded Wei Chongrong as his son.
"What about me? You've finished speaking!" Wei Chongrong blinked, expressing curiosity about what Tuoba Xianhan had not finished.
A flash of sympathy flashed in Tuoba Xianhan's eyes, and he said in an unwavering tone: "I will impose the punishment of Ling Chi on you."
Ling late? ! Helian Zhuo to him? ! Wei Chongrong couldn't help shivering, and suddenly felt pain everywhere.
"Second Highness..." Tuoba Xianhan looked at Wei Chongrong with a bit of concern in his tone.
Wei Chongrong gritted his teeth and said, "Don't call me Second Highness again, my surname is Wei, and my name is Wei Chongrong." He thought that Helian Zhuo might kill him, but he never imagined that he would kill him with a thousand knives. Tricks like Wan Rang can be used on him.
"Mrs. Zuo got the news. I was afraid that something would happen to you, so let me know." Tuoba Xianhan understood Wei Chongrong's mood at this moment, because he had tasted the same taste before, so Tuoba was just It was too late for him to be happy.
Wei Chongrong calmed down and asked, "You said that Helianzhuo and He Rongling have already discussed it?"
Tuoba Xianhan nodded. If it wasn't for this, how could Frida inform him overnight and let him take Wei Chongrong to leave quickly.
"Is it still possible for us to leave the city?" Wei Chongrong asked calmly.
Earlier, Helianzhuo and He Rongling disagreed, so Tuoba Xianhan took him out of the palace with ease. Now, the two have reached an agreement that unless he can get out of the city as soon as possible, Helian Zhuo has ordered the whole city to search and find him sooner or later.
Tuoba Xianhan said with a wry smile: "I can only try it, the chances are very slim."
Then try it. As long as there is still a chance, he will not give up his efforts. Otherwise, what will Wei Zhao do when the army is attacking the city.
It is impossible for him to retreat. Behind him is Dayan's army of 100,000 people. He cannot do anything to disappoint them.
And he was hung on the tower by Helian Zhuo, and he probably wouldn't even have the chance to commit suicide by biting his tongue. Ling Chi's punishment, as a rule, should be 3,357 knives, which will be executed in three days. I'm afraid that Wei Zhao will collapse first if he is still hanging half-dead.
Therefore, he must not allow such a thing to happen, even death.
A hundred miles outside Qingjia City, the Dayan army was stationed.
In the distance, there is the sound of horses' hoofs, the sound is getting closer and closer, and in a blink of an eye, dozens of horses can be seen galloping.
"咴..." With a clear and powerful neigh, a black lightning flashed, and Ji Xinlema stopped in front of the main entrance of the military camp. He got off his horse and hurried toward the camp, while his personal soldiers arrived one by one at this time.
"I have seen His Royal Highness King Changning." The soldiers in the camp stopped to salute.
Ji Xin raised his hand and didn't even have time to say hello, so he just buried his head and walked forward.
Seeing Ji Xin, Huo Qingyang cupped his hands and said, "I have seen King Changning." Then he came forward to greet him.
Ji Xin didn't even bother to say the word "exemption", and asked directly: "What happened? Call me over in such a hurry." Although Tiele's war is over, there is still a lot of follow-up work. Now it all falls on Lu Ming.
Huo Qingyang lowered his voice and stuck it to Ji Xin's ear to briefly explain the ins and outs of the matter.
Ji Xin couldn't help sighing after hearing this: "I'll just say, Rong'er shouldn't have been brought here, if not..."
"Shh!" Huo Qingyang made a silent gesture, "His Royal Highness has already blamed himself for this matter, so you don't want to lift the pot without opening it, help think of a way, if it goes on like this, I'm afraid He can't take it anymore..."
Ji Xin thought about it too, and asked, "What is the current situation?"
"The little prince has escaped from the palace, but he is still trapped in Qingjia City. Helianzhuo has closed the city gate. He can't get out. Sooner or later, he will be found... And according to the news from the scouts, Helianzhuo once threatened, If His Highness refuses to retreat, he will…" Huo Qingyang said that he couldn't go on. The two countries went to war and took the other's prince and grandson as a hostage.
Huo Qingyang only spoke halfway, Ji Xin was in a hurry and asked, "What does Helianzhuo want?"
"He said that if I don't retreat, he will put Rong Erling to death." Wei Zhao came out of the inner room, and his voice showed obvious anger.
Ji Xin opened his mouth, but was speechless for a long time. Helian Zhuo was a scumbag, and he first stabbed him with a thousand cuts.
Wei Zhao looked at Ji Xin and said calmly, "King Changning, you will command the siege of Qingjia City."
Ji Xin opened his mouth and finally found his voice: "But, I don't know anything..."
"If you don't know anything, you can ask Qingyang, he knows all about it." Wei Zhao knew very well that he couldn't personally command this battle. If Helianzhuo really brought Wei Chongrong out, you couldn't guarantee it. How will you react.
Ji Xin didn't refuse any more, agreed with the matter, and gave Wei Zhao a worried look again.
Wei Zhao rubbed his forehead and turned back to the inner room. As long as you don't care about Helianzhuo's threat, there is no reason why Qingjiacheng can't be defeated.
In Qingjia City, Tuoba Xianhan and Wei Chongrong walked through the four city gates. The guards were stricter than the other, and the inspections were also very careful. They didn't need to try to know that they couldn't get out at all.
To make matters worse, there are soldiers searching everywhere in the city, and although they have changed their clothes, they are also very dangerous. Tuoba Xianhan grabbed Wei Chongrong and said solemnly, "No need to try again. If we can't get out, we must find a safe place to hide."
"Where can we hide?" Dayan's army was only a hundred miles away from Qingjia City, and Helian Zhuo was going to find him even if he turned the whole city over. Besides, he had no other way to deal with Wei Zhao.
"Of course it's a place where no one will find out." Tuoba Xianhan dragged Wei Chongrong and turned into an alley.
Unexpectedly, just a few steps away, the sound of the patrolling soldiers questioning came from the front. They immediately turned around and planned to go back. Unfortunately, there were also people going from house to house in the back, and they were unable to advance or retreat.
