Chapter Thirty-Five: There may be an afterlife
In Jinling City, An Xiuming was furious and threw the memorial of Chen Shu into the hall, saying, "Look, look, the war god of the Great Chu, the undefeated famous general, so what? Even Chen Shu was not afraid of death and dared to fight the rebels in the night, but Chen Du took the lead to retreat fifty miles, which not only led to the great defeat of Bailuzhou, but also almost made Chen Shu unable to return to Shitou City... Xinting was lost, and he still blocked the enemy in Chapu. If the stone was lost, would Jinling give in, right?"
Chen Muzhi and others knelt down and did not dare to say anything. An Xiuming became more and more angry the more he thought about it. No one except the old people in the East Palace could trust him. He ignored Xiao Xunqi's desperate admonition and insisted on recalling Shen Du, and Cao Shu went to Chapu to lead the army and fought head-on with the Yangzhou army.
When the court held a meeting, An Xiuming left Xiao Xunqi, his eyes showed a cruel light and said, "Go and investigate, why did He Zheng suddenly rebel? I asked myself that he was not bad to him, and that he dared to let me down... I immediately captured his whole family and took him outside Zhuque Gate, and beheaded in public to serve as a warning to others!"
Champion Princess Mansion.
Since An Zidao returned to heaven, An Yuxiu has never left the mansion again, and even failed to attend An Xiuming's throne ceremony. An Xiuming was guilty of killing his father and did not dare to see An Yuxiu. She was so happy that she lived in seclusion in the door. The two did not disturb each other, but they were in peace.
Just two days after the Battle of Bailuzhou, at dusk, the bright moon was hanging high, and the Sili Mansion dispatched a total of 300 disciples to surround the Champion Princess' Mansion.
Meng Xingchun broke into the door and said sternly: "Go, everyone in the princess's mansion will be detained, no one is allowed to escape! You, go and collect all letters, documents and documents in the mansion, and no one is allowed to miss any paper with words!"
"Here!"
The disciples were about to act. An Yuxiu, who came after hearing the news, brought Zhao Guanhu and hundreds of poems. The slaves and diners hurried to the vestibule. Zhao Guanhu held the hilt of the knife, his eyes were sharp, and he said, "Meng Xingchun, are you afraid of your life?"
Meng Xingchun said lightly: "Master Zhao, I will be ordered by the Lord to ask the princess to go to Sili Mansion. If you disobey your order, don't blame me for showing mercy!"
clang!
Zhao Guanhu drew his sword and spread it out of his sheath, sneered, "Oral order? You quit first, the princess will enter the palace and ask the master for the reason..."
Meng Xingchun shook his head and said, "That's going to offend me, do it!"
Although the Sili Mansion had a series of battles and the little masters fell, there were still countless other masters such as the sixth and seventh grade masters in the Eagle Stones. Seven or eight people flashed out when they heard the sound, holding various weapons and pounced on Zhao Guanhu.
The men in the mansion also drew their swords to prepare for battle. Meng Xingchun looked at An Yuxiu and advised: "Princess, do you have to implicate so many loyal men in different places?"
An Yuxiu looked calm and said, "Zhao Guanhu, stop!"
"Princess, you can't go with them..."
In just a few breaths, Zhao Guanhu was outnumbered and had already had a lot of color on his body. An Yuxiu showed a sad smile and said, "Even you don't listen to me, right?"
Zhao Guanhu gritted his teeth, swung his sword and forced the two of them away, jumped back to An Yuxiu, knelt on the ground, and said sadly: "Princess, Sili Mansion is a place for tigers and wolves, you... can't go!"
An Yuxiu lowered her jade hand, paused in the air, patted Zhao Guanhu's shoulder lightly, without saying anything, walked to Meng Xingchun, and said calmly: "Do you want to get on the shackle?"
The shackles are neck shackles and hand shackles. Meng Xingchun bowed slightly and said, "No need, please, princess!"
An Yuxiu stood at the door of the mansion and looked back again. She had red dresses and red makeup, elegant and elegant, like a flower tree, making snow, making people dare not desecrate, and said with a chuckle: "Master and servant, I'm sorry to you. Don't do stupid things. Please answer whatever the Sili Mansion asks. I will ask the Lord to be kind, and I will always let you stay. When the property in the mansion is calmed, Zhao Guanhu will take charge of you and share it with you for another livelihood. Yuxiu will leave you here!"
The slaves in Man Mansion knelt on the ground, crying loudly, Zhao Guanhu clenched his fists tightly, blood was flowing out of his teeth, and the pain and sadness in his eyes were very similar to the bleakness and desolation of early autumn.
The Huangsha Prison in Sili Mansion can be said to be a hell on earth that makes everyone feel disgusted. You can't imagine all kinds of tragic torture instruments that are beyond your mind, but they can't do it. Even compared with the cruel official Lai Junchen in Wuzhou, it is even better than that of Lai Junchen. If a living person has never been able to enter the Huangsha Prison, it will never be possible to come out in a hurry.
An Yuxiu was in prison, and was stripped of her gorgeous clothes, tied to a wooden rack with only white socks. The dim and thin candlelight shone in a erratic ghost on the mottled walls. A few mice with long tails were squatting in the corner of the wet and gloomy cell. Perhaps they had eaten too much human flesh and drank too much human blood, and their eyes were full of strange blood. They were not afraid, so they stared at An Yuxiu blankly, as if this was the next delicious dinner.
An Yuxiu closed her eyes. She thought she was not afraid, but when things came, her hands still couldn't help but trembled a little. I don't know how long it took, but the prison door opened, An Xiuming walked in with a gloomy face, and the palace servant put down the chair and retreated.
An Xiuming did not sit down, stood with his hands behind his back, his tall body was filled with oppression, and he said hatefully: "Thirteen, how should I treat you? Why should I learn from those traitors betray me?"
An Yuxiu opened her eyes, stared at An Xiuming, and said, "Did you kill my father?"
An Xiuming's face changed color instantly, and he subconsciously took a step back half a step, then realized something was wrong, and became angry, turned around and raised his foot, kicked the chair, and shouted: "I said no, it was Liang Xiu's rebellion. My father was killed when I led the troops to arrive... Why don't you believe me? The third brother wanted to fight for this position, and Yan Wan, who was like the mediocre, made up articles to slander me, but you want to believe it?"
An Yuxiu slowly burst into tears, with a sad smile, like a withered pear blossom, and said, "I have not been very close to you since I was a child. I am respectful and elegant. But if you say you are close, I have not been very close. But I still know your character. If the third brother wronged you, I would never be so angry... Brother, for this dragon throne, father and son are slaughtering each other, brothers are fighting each other, and when the night comes, are you sleeping peacefully?"
"Actually, you have confirmed that it was me in your heart, so you plotted against He Zheng and persuaded him to give up the new pavilion, which led to the great defeat in Bailuzhou..." An Xiuming turned his back to An Yuxiu, and after a while, his face turned back, his face distorted and terrifyingly distorted, and said, "So what if I killed him? He deserves to die, he is unkind and loyal, and favors Concubine Yang, so that his mother left in depression. Later, he always wanted to abolish my position as the crown prince. If I don't rebel, I will die. Where can I still have the majesty of being honored in the south today?"
An Yuxiu didn't say anything about the king, minister, father and son, loyalty, benevolence and righteousness. He knew that An Xiuming could not listen to it. His tone was filled with sadness and said, "Kill the father, kill his brother, insult the mother, overturn the cauldron, and cause trouble to the court... When will the stolen power last for long?"
"Hahahahaha!"
An Xiuming laughed to the sky. The news that An Xiuyuan died in Xuzhou was heard. Not only was he not sad, he finally no longer had to worry about the face of this tenth brother who was in love with him. He dug up An Xiuyuan's biological mother, Concubine Yang, and ate it with wine. Finally, he avenged his mother and relieved her hatred for many years.
"Do you think that if you lose Xinting, the third brother will win? No, there will be stones behind Xinting, Taicheng behind Shitou, and I will have hundreds of thousands of central troops. The third brother's men can't even fill the Qinhuai River. How can I compete with me?"
"Brother, you were wrong!"
An Yuxiu's eyes showed a little pity, and said, "The third brother and sixth brother have occupied several states, and Jiangdong states have responded one after another. Their lost troops can be replenished continuously, and their food reserves are far superior to Jinling. After a year and a half, they will not hurt their muscles, but for Jinling, they are getting tired day by day and weaker day by day. The court cannot hold on for too long, and even the ignorant women in the city know that you are going to be defeated, and the prophecy of "The bright moon sinks, the vermilion bird burns, the fish crosses the Qingxi to meet the white dragon, and the emperor comes out of Jiangling". Since the war started, in just two months, almost every night, officials and generals have escaped from the city and defected to Jingzhou. This is the general trend, people's hearts will be the ones, and brothers and sisters will fight. I advise you to surrender as soon as possible, and to tell yourself that you may be able to save your life..."
"Shut up!"
An Xiuming pinched An Yuxiu's neck, and his fierce look was like a madman after eating too many five stones, and said, "What prophecy? Why are you absconded? You bitch, you want to mess with lies. You really deserve to die, die!"
"So you don't know these things? Xiao Xunqi, Shen Muzhi, and Yu Daozhen, they all hide from you? Ha... cough, cough, the south is called Zun, the south is called Zun, the eldest brother, you are so majestic..."
"Shut up! I'll shut you up!"
An Xiuming suddenly exerted force, and An Yuxiu was like a fish pulled out of the water. She opened her mouth silently, and her beautiful face was blue and purple, but her eyes were always slight ridicule.
It was this contempt that made An Xiuming go crazy completely. His fingers were pinching tighter and tighter. An Yuxiu felt the pain in her chest, and the last bit of air was tearing in her throat. She began to fall into a semi-coma. At this moment, King An Zishang of Jingling broke through the palace servants' block and hugged An Xiuming tightly, and said, "Emperor, no, no... If you continue to kill like this, our An family will die..."
An Xiuming let go of his hand, and his violent eyes swept over An Yuxiu's undulating body, and his pretty face that was pale due to lack of oxygen, with a cruel smile on his lips, saying, "Yes, what my uncle said is, it's a pity to kill such a beautiful woman. Come on, send the champion princess to Taichu Palace and order someone to wash her body. Watch her, don't let her die..."
Thinking of An Xiuyuan and Princess Haiyan, and thinking about the scandals between An Xiuming and Princess Shi'an, An Yuxiu said coldly: "Beast, I am a lord, and I don't even have the courage to kill me. What do you fight with my third brother? I am my parents, what can I do if I am humiliated by you? Let me tell you that not only He Zheng was persuaded by me to surrender to the third brother, but in Jinling City, there are many important people who have secretly contacted Jingzhou, just waiting for the rebel army to attack the city, so as to kill you..."
Before he finished speaking, An Xiuming changed color and drew out the treasure knife and severely cut An Yuxiu's neck. Blood splattered all over the ground. The long-tailed rat squeaked around and licked happily.
An Zishang fell to the ground dejectedly, covered his heart with his hands, his eyes were blank and unconscious, and murmured: "Crazy, you're crazy... all crazy..."
An Yuxiu didn't feel the pain. She deliberately stimulated An Xiuming, so she had already had the ambition to die. She recalled many things in her mind like a flash of lights. She was carefree when she was young, her ignorance and longing when she was young, her makeup she cried when she got married, and her panic when she was trapped in Qiantang all day long. But in the end, it unexpectedly gathered into Xu You's face.
He smiled slightly, his eyes were gentle and firm, and he attached himself to her ear and said softly: I can live one, princess, take care of myself...
Qiantang, you saved me, but this time I will die...
Death is not afraid!
What’s scary is that you can no longer see your smile and the light shining in your eyes...
Xu You, goodbye to the next life. I hope you are not a clan, and I am not a royal girl,
Take care of yourself!
