Hello Chang'an Chapter 254

Li Yi was surprised and panicked.

How could it be Wei Shuyi!

Where is Yu Zai? !

He subconsciously looked around Wei Shuyi, but there was no trustworthy face... Where were all his people?

The answer was not difficult to guess, but Li Yi found it difficult to accept it for a moment, and murmured in panic: "Impossible...how is it possible!"

How did the imperial envoy bypass his sight and go to the place where Yu Zai and the 80,000-strong army were camping ahead?

The 80,000-strong army was controlled by Yu Zai, and all important positions were controlled by his people. How could a mere civil servant, Wei Shuyi, subdue the 80,000-strong army in such a short period of time without making any noise? ?

He couldn't figure it out, and he couldn't imagine it, but the fact was already before his eyes.

The young man drove his horse slowly, and his eyes fell on the embarrassed man who was kneeling there with his chin crooked, face covered with blood, and wearing ordinary military uniforms. He was a little surprised, and asked confirmingly: "...Li Yi?"

This outfit and appearance are hard to recognize.

Chang Suining nodded: "It's him."

Wei Shuyi looked at the sound and was a little surprised this time: "Ms. Chang?"

Even though he had seen her in men's clothing many times, he was still a little surprised to see her standing here in military uniform.

Chang Suining nodded again: "It's me."

Wei Shuyi then dismounted.

His official uniform was as clean as new, not stained by dust, and his face was as clean and elegant as the color of a spring mountain. At first glance, one feels that such a person was born to live in a temple, to hold a pen and write chapters, to watch flowers and admire the moon, but he should not appear here where the war horse is roughly spraying white air, and his eyes are full of blood and soldierly spirit. A place full of danger.

But whether he "should" or not, he came.

Seeing him coming, Chang Suining raised his hand and said, "Servant Wei."

"It's been a long time since I saw Mrs. Chang." Wei Shuyi looked at her with a pair of clear eyes with a smile. For a moment, he looked at Li Yi: "I never thought that it would be like this when we meet again."

But this is not the time to reminisce.

"I am here to capture the traitor Li Yi according to the Holy Order -" he said: "Ms. Chang has worked so hard to capture the traitor. Wei will definitely tell the truth about Madam Chang's achievements. In this case, please ask Madam Chang. Let's hand him over to Wei first.”

As soon as he finished speaking, two people stepped forward to take Li Yi from Chang Suining's hands.

The person holding Li Yi did not let go for a moment, but looked at Chang Sui Ning for instructions.

Including Vice General Jin and others, they also looked at Chang Suining subconsciously, waiting for her to speak.

Wei Shuyi didn't mind, he just looked at her with a pair of eyes that always contained a slight smile. At the same time, he couldn't help but realize that she was very popular now.

It seemed that the stories he heard were all true.

This popular feeling was won by her own ability.

Chang Sui Ning seemed to think for a moment before saying, "I can hand him over to Minister Wei, but I need to kill him first."

Uncle Wei was slightly startled. Did he mean to leave him a dead man?

"...You can't kill me!" Li Yi immediately changed his demeanor after hearing this, and quickly looked at Wei Shuyi: "I have surrendered, I have realized my mistake! My father is Li Tong, the king of Huainan. How much contribution has he made to the court? You can't Deal with me privately! I want to go back to Beijing to face the saint...I want to confess to the saint in person!"

After saying that, he hurriedly said: "By the way, I also know Xu Zhengye's important secret... When I return to Beijing, I will tell the emperor in person!"

Chang Suining only found it funny. This person was not good at other things, but he had an endless supply of life-saving means at his fingertips.

She looked at Li Yi and asked Wei Shuyi: "Does Minister Wei believe it?"

Wei Shuyi was noncommittal and looked at her without hesitation: "Ms. Chang..."

He didn't say the words of dissuasion directly, but Chang Suining understood.

But she still said: "I must kill him."

Wei Shuyi looked at her: "What is 'must'?"

"Before, my father was supposed to lead an army of 100,000 to support Hezhou. However, after my father left the camp, he changed the marching route of the remaining 80,000 troops without authorization. It was unbearable for a general to watch the destruction of Hezhou city. The people of Hezhou are trapped in the evil deeds of water and fire, and I want to trap them and die in Hezhou—"

"He held a large number of troops, but for his own benefit, he ignored the people in Hezhou and caused countless people to die in vain-"

"In order to seize military power, he used insidious means to assassinate He Wei." Chang Sui Ning said: "A military general can die on the battlefield, or he can die from danger and trickery. It is not a pity, but it is not a pity to die in the hands of such stupid and poisonous people. In my opinion, it really shouldn't make sense.”

Wei Shuyi looked at the eyes that were unwilling to accept He Weiming.

The owner of those eyes continued: "Going further, Jiangning was lost, and the Xu family's army was able to grow and cause chaos. The entire Jiangnan area was in danger, with refugees and hungry people everywhere. There are countless things, all of which are directly or indirectly related to him. The reason—"

"As a commander-in-chief, he never cared about the soldiers under his command. This is unrighteous. As a son of the clan, he showed no mercy to the people of the country. This is unethical. He led an army of 200,000 but did nothing. This is useless. This is so. It is not an exaggeration to say that a person who is useless, virtuous and righteous has committed a heinous crime. Letting him continue to live is an injustice to others. "

He was right. His father, King Huainan, had made many contributions to the court and became a saint. He was always very good at showing a cowardly and pitiful look of admitting his mistakes in front of others -

If someone used the power of King Huainan to intercede for him, maybe he could really save a dog's life.

Even if he is deposed as a commoner, demoted as a sinner, and imprisoned, what will happen in the future?

The current situation is precarious, and there is no telling who will take the throne one day. If someone can really overthrow the empress, by then, those who opposed the empress in the past will become heroes.

If he really waited for that day and he was welcomed out as a hero of the clan, then what would it be if he died in vain now because of him? Who will remember how they died?

She didn't want such nonsense to have a chance in this world.

As early as that day when she took over the imperial edict from He Wei, she was determined to kill Li Yi.

Finally, she looked at Wei Shuyi and asked: "In Minister Wei's opinion, are the above 'musts' enough for me to kill him a hundred times?"

Lady Shepherd's Purse on the side clenched the woodcutter in her hand. The tragic scene of Hezhou defending the city appeared before her eyes, and she wished she could cut Li Yi into pieces.

Wei Shuyi was silent for a moment, still hesitant: "But he said... he knows Xu Zhengye's secret."

Immediately, he looked at the staff and thought: "This should be his staff, right? If you have a secret, it should be the same thing to ask this staff..."

"Thinking about it this way, we only need to keep one alive among the two." He looked back at Chang Suining and said to her, "Mrs. Chang, just keep it alive."

Li Yi was shocked: "...Wei Shuyi, how dare you!"

He began to struggle violently: "I have surrendered. I am a member of the clan... How can I allow you to be executed privately!"

"The Holy One once said that if the rebels dare to resist, they can be killed on the spot." Wei Shuyi turned around and looked at Li Yi's confidants who fell to the ground after the fight: "These are evidence of resistance."

"Wei Shuyi...you are just afraid of her and Chang Kuo's power. You are so derelict in your duties that you will die!" Li Yi said in a panic: "What do you think of the laws and regulations?"

"Rules are dead—" Chang Sui Ning raised his hand and dropped his knife.

The sharp blade quickly slashed across Li Yi's neck, leaving only a thin blood mark at first.

With a soft "crack" sound, Chang Suining pressed the knife back into the scabbard, looked at Li Yi's widened eyes, and said calmly: "You can be too." Rules are dead, and people can be dead too. of.

When Wei Shuyi turned around, he saw that Li Yi's neck was almost broken, his head was hanging to one side as if it had lost support, and thick blood was pouring out of the wound and mouth.

"Don't look at it. Be careful of nightmares. Aren't you most afraid of ghosts?" Chang Suining persuaded him kindly, then turned around and left holding the knife.

Li Yi's words cursing him for a good death echoed in his ears. Wei Shuyi shuddered, and then looked at her hurriedly: "Where is General Chang?"

The figure didn't look back, but mounted his horse directly: "Follow me."

Wei Shuyi asked people to put away Li Yi's body, no, the body that had not completely turned into a corpse - it would be needed later.

He also asked someone to keep an eye on Li Yi's staff, then mounted his horse and followed the figure leading the way.

The army is behind, moving like clouds.

The fighting between the two armies on Chang Kuo's side had been mostly quelled as news of Li Yi's escape spread.

When the coach leaves, the morale of the army will inevitably collapse.

Now the coach is back, but what comes back is a corpse.

When Li Yi's body was displayed to the public, Wei Shuyi took advantage of the situation and showed the imperial edict, "I am Wei Shuyi, the servant of the sect, and I have come to capture the rebel Li Yi according to the imperial edict. Now Li Yi has been killed. You will drop him quickly and wait for investigation later." Those who are clearly deceived by Li Yi will be exempted from all charges!"

At this point, the arrival of the imperial envoy and the edict had completely confirmed Li Yi's rebellion.

The soldiers who followed Li Yi were panic-stricken and put down their weapons one after another, no longer daring to take chances and resist.

The winter sun slides down the western mountains, and a cold moon rises high. The coldness silently erodes everything in the world.

The army was integrated and camped in a nearby open area. A fire was lit outside the tent to dissipate most of the cold air.

Chang Kuo, Wei Shuyi, and the general who accompanied Wei Shuyi were handling follow-up matters and tracking down Li Yi's accomplices in the army.

Chang Sui Ning had some leisure time and was sitting in front of the fire, warming himself up with A Dian and watching the stars.

A Dian raised his head and looked at the stars and the moon for a long time. Then he thought of something and looked thoughtfully at the girl sitting next to him.

She changed out of her military uniform and now wore a sandalwood round-necked robe with a black cloak on top. Her ponytail hung behind her head. She sat there with her hands on her back and looked up. Staring at the stars, there wasn't much expression on his face, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

A Dian looked a little lost in thought, as if he felt dazzled. He blinked hard, looked again, and found himself lost in thought again.

Sensing his gaze, Chang Suining turned around and asked him, "What's wrong?"

The firelight made her face somewhat hazy, and after hearing this question, A Dian somehow managed to hold it back for a moment, and then suddenly burst into tears with a "woo".

Chang Suining was stunned: "What's going on?"

"I miss you, Your Highness!"

A Dian cried and squeezed towards her, staying close to her, hugging his knees, and burying his head on her shoulder with some effort, like a big injured lion leaning on a little white rabbit. .

He didn't understand what it meant to miss someone when he saw something, or to be moved by the scene. He didn't understand where this surge of longing came from, so he could only bury his head and cry.

Chang Suining patted his back gently and was about to say something when a voice sounded before her.

"Why, General A Dian was bullied by Mrs. Chang?"

Wei Shuyi came over and said, "You can tell me, and I will seek justice for you."

A Dian also knew that crying was embarrassing. Hearing the sound, he quickly raised his head and wiped his tears, choking and saying, "Little A Li will not bully me... She is as good as Your Highness."

Then he looked at Chang Sui Ning with a pair of pitiful tearful eyes: "Little A Li is exactly the same as His Highness, they are very similar."

Wei Shuyi's eyes flashed with a smile: "What General A Dian said is His Royal Highness the First Prince?"

Although A Dian didn't know the difference between the words "former prince", but after hearing it many times over the years, he knew that the "former prince" was his highness, so he nodded while wiping his tears.

Wei Shuyi wanted to ask again, but a voice interrupted him: "Is Minister Wei also here to warm himself by the fire?"

"Yes." Wei Shuyi came back to his senses and sat down cross-legged slowly.

Chang Suining asked Ah Che to take Ah Dian back to the tent to sleep.

"I haven't seen Mrs. Chang for a long time." Wei Shuyi said with a smile: "I have heard a lot about Mrs. Chang's deeds along the way. Now that I see Mrs. Chang safe, I feel at ease."

Chang Suining smiled and asked him: "How could Minister Wei think of rushing directly and secretly to conquer the 80,000-strong army near Yangzhou?"

"If you want to send troops to conquer various places, you will inevitably have to fight with each other, which is time-consuming and energy-consuming. Instead of asking for help, it is better to draw out the fuel from the bottom of the cauldron." He said and smiled: "Of course, only half of it is drawn."

"But this move is very risky." Chang Suining asked him: "The 80,000-strong army must be controlled by Li Yi's confidants. It is not easy to conquer it. Moreover, the camp is near Yangzhou, and there are many informants from Xu Zhengye, so Wei Shilang is not afraid. Is there no return?”

"Of course I'm afraid." Wei Shuyi looked at her and smiled: "But when I heard that Hezhou was secured, I expected that General Chang and Mrs. Chang would come from the direction of Hezhou to intercept Li Yi. This move was also very risky... in order to be able to After meeting Mrs. Chang in time, even though Wei was afraid, he still wanted to take the risk. "

"But I didn't expect that although Wei came late, Mrs. Chang had already captured Li Yi. She had borrowed soldiers from Chuzhou." He said and sighed: "The risk I took was in vain."

Chang Suining: "It's not a waste of money, at least it saves you worries and many unnecessary casualties... With so many lives lost, Minister Wei has done a great job."

Wei Shuyi laughed after hearing this, and followed her words and added: "There is one more thing, at least it doesn't hold Mrs. Chang back."

Chang Sui Ning was not humble and polite, and nodded: "That's right."

She was really afraid that some idiot would not be able to help, but would make the situation even more chaotic.

"But I'm very curious, how did Wei Shilang subdue the 80,000 troops?" She rarely asked Wei Shuyi for advice.

He was a civilian official and had no prestige in the army. Even though he was followed by the military commander, she thought that the man was very strange, and he was not a familiar and prestigious person.

Even with the Holy Purpose at his disposal, in such a situation, Wei Shuyi was able to subdue the 80,000-strong army controlled by Li Yi's confidants in such a short period of time and almost without anyone noticing. It is really admirable, but also really puzzling. .

She just opened her mouth to ask what happened, but he didn't answer, so she asked directly again.

"Ms. Chang, do you think Wei doesn't have this ability?" Wei Shuyi asked without answering.

"That's not true." Chang Suining said truthfully: "I'm just eager to learn."

"Ms. Chang has shown such extraordinary talent and is so eager to learn. Are you not going to leave a way for mediocre people like me to survive?"

Chang Suining looked at him suspiciously: "Why, is it some secret to victory that cannot be said or passed on to others?"

"I wanted to avoid talking about it, but I couldn't avoid it..." Faced with her curiosity that wouldn't give up until she got an answer, Wei Shuyi sighed half-heartedly, took something out of his sleeve and handed it to Chang Suining: "No. Here is the secret to victory in Gaiden.”
