Chapter 39 Guan Guifei
As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Yanzhi jumped down with his iron durian. His body was light and his Taoist bones were fairy-like. His weapons were too vulgar.
"The demon man looks at the knife!" Although Gao Jie was the main general, he still maintained the habit of leading by example. He shouted loudly and raised his knife to slash his head. Liu Yanzhi swung the chain hammer and swept it over. The iron durian hit Gao Jie's head at high speed, and blood immediately splattered everywhere. General Gao's headless body also held the knife and rushed forward a few steps before falling.
What kind of person is Gao Jie? He was a powerful general who was killed by one sword and one shot in the ten thousand horse army. He had been fighting for more than ten years. From a horse thief to becoming a general of the court, he relied on fearlessness and decisive actions. Those who were generals would naturally be unable to arrange troops. In terms of personal martial arts, Gao Jie was stronger than Liu Liangzuo. He could shoot his bows from left to right and use big swords. He was basically the bravery of ten thousand enemies. However, he was killed by the formation without even passing a round before Liu Yan. The psychological impact of the people present can be imagined.
Liu Yanzhi didn't know that he killed Gao Jie with one blow, and thought that it was a soldier who was not open to his eyes, but the audience instantly made him understand a little. The body with the head knocked away might be a high-ranking official.
There was only a moment of silence, and Gao Jie's personal soldiers came back from their shock. This was an ambush. General Gao was dead. These close guards would not have a good end. Someone shouted: "Kill the thief! Avenge your revenge!" The personal soldiers abandoned Yoshiyuki Orie and all rushed towards Liu Yan.
How could Liu Yanzhi be afraid of them? However, iron durian is only suitable for use in the vast field of wild battlefields and cannot be shaken away in the yard. He snatched a goose feather knife and cut melons and vegetables, usually chopped off all the Gao Jie soldiers wearing big mane hats with one knife.
Fang Chengbin finally reacted and shouted: "The immortals have arrived, but you can't quickly abandon your weapons and surrender!"
The volunteers raised their swords and shouted in unison: "The immortals are here, surrender quickly!"
Seeing that the situation was not good, the eunuch Lu Jiude urgently ordered his subordinates to shrink and not have conflicts with the immortals and Ome Yoshiyong. His reliance and confidence were all on Gao Jie. When Gao Jie died, he had no support and could only adapt to the situation. He hoped that these 100 Jinyiwei would not be able to leave Ome's Mansion at all.
The Jinyiwei watched Yoshiyoshi cooperated with the immortal to kill all Gao Jie's personal soldiers. The courtyard was covered with blood and no one dared to move. They were not the domineering Jinyiwei of the Beizhen Fushi, but a newly formed group of people from the Hongguang court. They had never seen a large formation. This scene was enough to scare them silly.
Fang Chengbin is a literati, but he has been practicing martial arts since he was a child and is extremely courageous. He also killed several people with a sword, and came to Lu Jiude with a bloody sword and said, "Mr. General Manager, you are frightened. I want to ask, who did this edict come from? Why did it turn black and white and make the world's loyal and kind-hearted heart for serving the country."
Lu Jiude was speechless, his eyes turned around, and pointed to Gao Jie's body and said, "He is Gao Jie who deceived him. Now that the evil one is killed, please let our family go."
Suddenly there was a noise outside, and countless rockets shot into the air, illuminating the night sky. It was Gao Jie's soldiers who were leading into the city sending signals to the people outside the city. Fang Chengbin didn't care about Lu Jiude and arranged for the troops to disarm the Jinyiwei and personally led the people to quell the rebellion. He sincerely asked Liu Yanzhi for help.
"Dare not obeying the order." Liu Yanzhi cooperated very well and joined the turbulent team with iron durian. Omi City launched a bloody battle. Both sides fought on the streets and shot at the roof with muskets and bows. Gao Jie's 1,000 troops were all elite, but they could not fight without the backbone. Under the pressure of Omi's superior Yoshiyu, more than 200 people died and they all collapsed. They all kneeled down and surrendered.
The troops outside the city launched an attack on the city overnight, and Jinjiang City was ready for battle. The city was high and thick, with arrows falling like rain. The wooden and rocks were greeted by the rolling wood and stones. The Gao army fought to the death and climbed the walls under the torch. The siege was fought until dawn. The water in the moat was red, and the volunteers suffered great losses. The top of the city was hit by the Gao army's artillery. The wounded camp under the city was wailed everywhere. There were five or six hundred wounded soldiers overnight, and there were three hundred dead. The casualties of the siege side would double.
These Han men should have died in vain on the battlefield of the Qing Dynasty, but died in the city of Ori River. This is not a solution. Fang Chengbin was thinking about it, and Gao Jie's head had been broken and it was useless. However, Lu Jiude could do it. He sent someone to invite Lu Jiude and a few Jinyiwei to the city and announce the news to the rebels outside.
Lu Jiude had to follow. During the battle, he used the imperial edict to declare Gao Jie a rebellious general with a fake voice in the eunuch, and was killed. If the people outside the city dared to attack the city again, they would be against the court.
When Gao Jie died, his men and horses lost the courage to continue fighting. The world was so big that they could not go anywhere. Tens of thousands of people dispersed and divided into several groups to go their separate ways. Should they become bandits or surrender to the Qing army? In short, there is always a way out for the world to survive.
Since Gao's army retreated, Fang Chengbin would not continue to make things difficult for Lu Jiude. He still treated him with courtesy. Not only did he return the weapons of the Jinyiwei, but he also prepared a generous gift. Everyone below Lu Jiude had a share. The eunuch changed his mind when he saw the wind and smiled happily, saying that he would make a fair decision in front of the emperor after returning to Nanjing.
"But..." Lu Jiude raised his voice, "Master Fang also knows that General Gao and Liu Er are all heroes who assisted Long Live ascend the throne. Long Live is also a saint who is grateful for his kindness. If there is no good speech, it is unlikely that Long Live will be taken back. By then, Huang Degong will lead his troops to attack again, and our family will not be able to help."
Fang Chengbin said: "Is there nothing I can do?"
Lu Jiude said: "Of course there is a way. When our family came, we obeyed the secret decree. If Lord Fang could help our family complete this important task, Long Live would definitely not be a pity."
"What method?" Fang Chengbin listened attentively.
Lu Jiude whispered a few words, and Fang Chengbin changed his face: "This..."
"Mr. Fang, it's up to us, whether to say it or not, whether to do it or not." Lu Jiude smiled mysteriously and left.
...
In the inn, Fang Chenglong came to invite the immortals to the banquet. Too many people died in the General Army Office, and the evil spirits were heavy. The banquet was set up in Fang Mansion. In addition to the four people in the traveling group, the General Manager Lu Jiude was also a guest of honor. Fang Chengbin and his brothers accompanied him, and everyone had a great chat during the banquet.
Lu Jiude is an eunuch who has been in the Forbidden City in Beijing for a long time. For Dang Aiguo and others, he is simply a living history book. The details he said from his mouth are extremely valuable in archaeological history. This is how high-quality communication is. Some people are happy to say, some people are happy to listen. The respectful and curious attitude of the immortals greatly satisfy Lu Jiude's self-esteem, and the frightened last night was slowly relieved.
The only female fairy, Guan Lu, was wearing a round-necked shirt like the other three. She did not wear makeup and was beautiful. Apart from being a little big, not having feet tied up, and being too lively, she could be considered a beauty. The most important thing is that this woman has practiced to become an immortal and looks like she has no ambiguous relationship with the other three immortals, which is much easier to deal with.
Becoming an immortal and becoming a Taoist immortal is the highest dream of every emperor. As the eunuch chief supervisor, Lu Jiude felt that it was necessary to help the emperor realize this dream. He felt that the time was almost done, so he winked at Fang Chengbin.
Fang Chengbin knew that he couldn't escape, so he coughed dryly and said, "Never live now is quite interested in Taoist magic and immortal techniques. I wonder if several immortals are willing to come to the palace to meet."
When you are polite, an immortal is an immortal. Even the emperor cannot summon him and he will leave immediately.
Liu Yanzhi had long noticed that Lu Jiude, the eunuch, had a wrong look at Guan Lu, and said coldly: "Is it that simple to go to the palace to meet Zhu Yousong?"
He dared to call him Long Live, and there was no one else in this courage, but Lu Jiude did not dare to get angry. It is not a peaceful and prosperous era now, and the royal majesty no longer exists. Moreover, the throne that came from was not right in nature. If you give you a face, you will live long live. If you don’t give you a face, you will be Zhu Yousong, that’s that simple.
Fang Chengbin made up his mind and thought that he would have to say it sooner or later, and he would rather make a decision. He said, "Master General, why not take out the secret decree for long live."
"What secret decree? Who is it for?" Liu Yanzhi said murderously.
Lu Jiude stuttered, stretched his head and shrunk it, and simply took out his efforts. He took a deep breath, took out a volume of secret orders from his arms, and held it to Guan Lu in both hands.
"For me?" Guan Lu smiled, revealing two little tiger teeth, opened the secret order and looked, her eyes slowly widened.
"Let me see." Dang Aiguo came over, glanced at him, and laughed in silence: "The emperor wants to sign Doctor Guan as a concubine."
Guan Lu was not angry, but happily took out the small mirror and looked at it: "What kind of concubine is there? Who else is there? I think with my talent and appearance, it's almost the same to be a queen."
Lu Jiude let go of his heart, and the female immortal was not disgusted with it. This was something he had not expected. Not only him, but also Fang Chengbin brothers were also surprised. They thought this would anger the immortals, but they didn't expect that they would be willing to be concubines. It seems that immortals cannot be spared.
"The imperial concubine is already very tall, and the queen is going to go up. Are you planning to play the real-life palace scheming?" Dang Paiguo Road.
Guan Lu smiled and said, "It's okay if Gong Xin is scheming. I plan to stage a time-travel drama in the late Ming Dynasty, and to bring all the emperors of the Southern Ming Dynasty, Dorgon of the Qing Dynasty, and scholars from Nanjing, including Hou Fangyu, Mao Pijiang and Chen Zilong from the Pomegranate Skirts. By the way, I don't have high requirements for what the emperor looks like, just have half of Wu Qilong."
Dang Paiguo Road: "You ask the eunuch, that's it."
Lu Jiude was already sweating profusely. This was not a female fairy, it was clearly a monster! He stammered and said: "Long live the house with kind heart and dignity."
Dang Paiguo Road: "Come on, Zhu Yousong follows his father Lao Fu Wang, who is so fat that he can't walk. He is 1.6 meters tall and weighs 280 meters tall. He is a sow that is slaughtered."
Guan Lu said astonishedly: "Then I still don't do this empress."
The immortals laughed and cursed, and the matter was covered. Lu Jiude was sweating profusely, and the Fang brothers looked at each other. In this way, even if Omi and the court broke up completely, the emperor would never let the Fang clan go. In the near future, Omi would face attacks from the Qing Dynasty and the Southern Ming Dynasty.
At this time, Omi had become the eye of the storm. The Qing Dynasty's southern expedition army failed under the city of Omi. Half of the four towns in Jiangbei that the Southern Ming Dynasty relied to resist the Qing Dynasty were also trapped in Omi. Liu Liangzuo and Gao Jie were seeking death and could not blame others. However, this is also the fate of the small court of the Southern Ming Dynasty. The wheel of fate rolled forward with an irresistible momentum. What should come will always come, just sooner or later.
