Rebirth of Glory and Splendour - Chapter 105
Before Shangguan Yi and Li Yan took back the six counties of Yizhou, the borderline between Zhu Xia and Nanyue was winding and stretching for hundreds of miles, and disputes would arise from time to time. , but very little.
After Wei Su ascended the throne, Zhu Xia miscalculated the situation. Not only did he fail to get benefits from Dayan, but he lost his original six counties of Yizhou. The original food was self-sufficient and degraded to the point where he had to buy food from other countries. to the point of supplementation.
Since then, the border between Zhu Xia and Nanyue is only a few dozen miles of the Red River, but they have lived in peace for decades.
Unexpectedly, after Tuduo came to power, Zhu Xia’s style changed abruptly. First, he tried Da Yan out of his own power and was beaten to the ground. Then he forcibly crossed Siam and launched an attack on Nanyue. The speed of the offensive was far beyond everyone’s expectations.
Nanyue is no better than Zhu Xia. It has a long-term trade relationship with Dayan and is more dependent on Dayan in the military. They did not expect Zhu Xia to have such an ability, nor did they expect Dayan to delay responding to them, even losing the city. , It is not surprising that the country has been destroyed.
On the day Jing’an City was broken, the current Nanyue monarch Ruan Shao had died for the country, and then broke the city. The six-year-old crown prince Ruan Ning had not yet succeeded to the throne, and together with his mother, younger brother and clansmen, he became Tuduo’s prisoner.
At this moment, seeing everyone around her subconsciously look over and dodge to the side without a trace, Ruan Ning raised her small chest and bravely stood in front of Wei Kou. Behind him, Wei Kou’s face was calm and not very surprised, while Ruan Meng, who was hugging her, looked innocent and ignorant.
Tuduo twitched the corners of his mouth, revealing an extremely gorgeous smile, and snorted softly: “Boy, you have a little backbone, like your dead father, but—” Halfway through his words, he suddenly stopped and stepped out of the throne. He stood up, walked to Ruan Ning in a hurry, stretched out his hand to squeeze his chin, and sneered: “Has anyone taught you a word, such things as backbone and courage, not everyone is qualified to have it.”
Ruan Ning was so young that she only knew that Tuduo was a bad guy, but she didn’t understand the deep meaning of his words. However, although he was a little afraid of Tuduo’s too sinister eyes, he thought that his father was dead, and he was the eldest man in the family. He still looked up at him without giving in at all, he was afraid that his younger brother would be scared to cry by him.
After Tuduo finished saying this, he flicked to the side with force, and Ruan Ning’s small body flew out immediately, first hitting the huge pillar, then rolling twice on the ground, and then staying motionless, almost even I can’t hear my breathing, and I don’t know if it’s dead or alive.
Wei Kou’s eyes suddenly shocked, she turned to look at her son lying on the ground, her fists tucked into her sleeves were clenched tightly, her fingertips were deeply pinched into her palm, but she didn’t say a word of begging for mercy. , will begging for mercy help? No.
On the other hand, Ruan Meng got up from the ground while her mother was distracted, only to see him running towards Ruan Ning with his short legs, kneeling beside him, shaking his body vigorously, and shouting repeatedly. : “Brother, wake up, brother, woohoo…”
After a long while, Ruan Ning coughed softly and said weakly, “Mengmeng don’t cry, okay? Keke, brother is fine…”
Ruan Meng grinned and burst into tears. Ruan Ning sat up and hugged her brother tightly without saying a word.
The rest of the Nguyen royal family trembled with fear, not knowing what Tuduo was going to do, and even more afraid that Brother Lemon’s actions would offend him.
Tuduo ignored Ruan Ning and Ruan Meng, but instead leaned into Wei Kou’s ear and said in an extremely ambiguous tone: “The eldest princess has an extraordinary beauty, and she is absolutely incomparable. You should remarry me.”
Wei Koo glanced at him coldly: “You are dreaming!” Even if she died, she would not compromise with him.
Tuduo was not angry, but smiled even brighter. He pointed to Ruan Ning and Ruan Meng, raised his eyebrows and said, “His Royal Highness, the two young princes of your family are really brothers, and the widow is moved when they see it Very, do you think it’s better for them to be stepsons for this king, or to see their dead father?” Emperor Dayan’s eldest daughter and Dayan Emperor’s sister have completely different meanings.
“You? Despicable and shameless!” Wei Kou was by no means afraid of death, but Tuduo’s words hit her right spot.
Hearing this, Tuduo shouted up to the sky, and immediately said: “The widow is despicable and shameless, what can the eldest princess do to me?”
Wei Kou closed her eyes and pondered, but she opened it again in an instant, and her eyes were full of determination: “Do I still have the qualifications to choose?”
“Of course.” Tuduo nodded and said, “The lives of the two little princes are in the hands of the eldest princess.”
Wei Kou said calmly without hesitation: “I want them to survive.” Tudor’s smile suddenly deepened.
“The Queen Mother, you…” Seeing that their queen really wanted to sacrifice herself, the Ruan clan made a lot of noise.
Tuduo raised his head, glared at them inadvertently, and said indifferently: “Do you also want to see your former king?”
The crowd suddenly quieted down, everyone buried their heads to the lowest level, no one dared to make a sound anymore, Wei Kou sneered.
Tuduo immediately ordered: “Come here, take these people to the Heavenly Prison, wait for disposal, and send the eldest princess back to the palace. If the two little princes want to find a secluded palace alone to settle them down, the people who serve are all If you choose, you can’t be negligent at all.”
Before he loses interest in Wei Kou, Ruan Ning Ruan Meng’s life can be saved for the time being.
Winning South Vietnam is not Tudu’s ultimate goal. It is his real goal to integrate the four northern counties of South Vietnam and form a siege on Yizhou. Wei Kou is a beautiful woman, but she is the mother of two children, and Tuduo is not inferior to her. What he really likes is her dual identity. Beauty is just an added value. , in order to hit the South Vietnamese to the greatest extent, he would accept her as well.
But in the eyes of those who don’t know Tuduo, the label of “Seling Zhi Duo” has already been glued on.
Due to the delay in Dayan’s movement, Tuduo did not impose a comprehensive martial law on Jing’an City. Wei Chongrong and Junhua entered the city without much effort. They found that the order in the city was not bad, not the chaos they expected.
Wei Chongrong took Jun Hua into the restaurant, and the two sat by the window on the second floor talking in a low voice.
“Is Zhu Xia too good at fighting, or is Nanyue too ineffective?” Jun Hua said in a voice that only Wei Chongrong could hear while eating. Their kingdom was destroyed in less than half a month, the monarch died, and the queen was forcibly occupied, and they were still singing and dancing.
Wei Chongrong had no interest in Nanyue’s sweet and spicy dishes, so he simply ate white rice empty-handedly. The main force.” Tudor obviously used a trick.
Jun Hua enjoyed the meal, but did not delay speaking: “Indeed, the strength of Zhu Xia’s army has improved too fast, although it is not better than us, it is really more than enough to deal with Nanyue, and there must be experts in Tuduo’s army. help.”
Wei Chongrong watched Jun Hua add the third bowl of rice, and could not help but sigh that he had been traveling hard recently, and his appetite had soared, and reminded: “This master is probably something we know.” He had already vaguely guessed the identity of that person. .
Jun Hua was stunned for a moment, and quickly realized that martial arts masters are easy to find, but masters who can train troops are hard to find. However, there was just such a person beside Tuduo, but I don’t know what kind of conditions he offered to make him agree to this matter.
“Let’s ignore that for now, it’s getting dark at night, let’s go to the palace to have a look.” The scouts who sneaked into Nanyue were not Wei Chongrong and Junhua, but for the difficult task of entering the palace to save people, except for the two of them, Others simply can’t do it.
Wei Lan can ignore Wei Kou’s life and death, but Wei Chongrong can’t be as ruthless and unrighteous as him. When Wei Xuan was assassinated, he was not in the capital, and there was nothing he could do. Wei Kou was in Jing’an City, and he couldn’t find a way to save her, and he would not be at ease in the future when he fought with Zhu Xia.
After finishing the last bowl of rice, Jun Hua sighed: “The eldest princess, she is also very pitiful…” She just died of her husband, and when he turned back, he was forced to serve the person who killed his husband, and was also taken from the bottom of his heart by people from all over the country. Spit, think about it is not the taste.
When night fell, Wei Chongrong and Junhua changed into night clothes and quietly sneaked into the palace of Nanyue.
Wei Kou still lives in the queen’s palace where she once lived, but no one else knows how it feels in her heart.
Fortunately, Tuduo went to the palace of the third princess of Nanyue tonight, and will not come to Wei Kou’s side. As long as Wei Chongrong and Junhua avoid the guards of the palace and put them in the palace maids, they can meet them smoothly. Wei Koo, the action is smooth.
Wei Koo slept very late, the candles were all extinguished, and she sat alone by the window in a daze, as if she had no sleepiness.
Suddenly, a small stone was still in front of the window. She raised her eyes and didn’t care too much.
After a while, another small stone fell next to the previous one, and the two were placed side by side.
Wei Kou stood up and asked in a low voice, “Who is it?” She could sense that the time for the arrival was not low.
“Sister, it’s me.” Wei Chongrong asked Junhua to lie on the roof and go to see Wei Kou alone.
Wei Kou was stunned for a while, and asked in a trembling voice for a while, “Rong’er, is that you?”
“Shh!” Wei Chongrong made a silent motion and said solemnly, “Sister, don’t be afraid, I’m here to save you.” After that, he jumped in from the window and stood beside Wei Kou. They haven’t seen each other for eight years since Tai’an was three years old.
“Rong’er, you’ve grown up.” Wei Kou sighed in a low voice, her tone extremely tangled and complicated. Her own younger brother didn’t care about her life or death, but this cousin, who was bullied by her younger brother, was willing to take the risk to save her.
“Now is not the time to talk, let’s leave here and talk about it.” It was not difficult for him and Junhua to enter the palace, but with a Wei Kou, it was still a little difficult to leave in a panic.
Wei Kou shook his head and said softly, “I’m sorry, Rong’er, I can’t go with you.”
