Rebirth of Glory and Splendour - Chapter 55

The news of Silan County’s breach and Wei Chongrong’s escape reached Helianzhuo at the same time. He couldn’t contain his anger. He severely reprimanded the messenger.

For a long time, Helianzhuo was not a good-tempered person. He could speak softly to people for a quarter of an hour, and immediately turn his face and deny him the next quarter of an hour. His emotions were fickle, and there was no trace of it.

Five years ago, while Helianzhuo went to the Wusu Prairie to negotiate with Wesley, Wei Zhao fled with his son and succeeded.

After this incident, Helianzhuo’s temper became even more irritable. Even his once favorite Zuo lady, Fulida, also angered him because of a trivial matter. live outside.

Therefore, when Helianzhuo was angry, the people around him would be smart to reduce his presence, so as not to provoke him.

But He Rongling didn’t have such scruples. He was able to put Helianzhuo on the throne of the monarch, and there is a way to pull him down today. He was afraid of what he would do, and there was no need for that.

Listening to the ping-pong-pong sound coming from the room, He Rongling still walked over with a calm expression on his face, as if he didn’t care.

After entering the room, he glanced at Helian Zhuo coldly, then found a complete chair and sat down, and asked: “Five years ago, you should have thought about today, right? How many times have I reminded you, Wei Zhao is the fourth prince of Dayan. He is not an ordinary person. Whether you like him or humiliate him, it is your freedom. I don’t care. But can you make things cleaner? Chances are, you should think about how he will get revenge back.”

Helianzhuo stared straight at He Rongling, his eyes were obviously not to be outdone, but he didn’t say a word. Because He Rongling was right, if he could completely abolish Wei Zhao back then, many things today might not have happened.

But he was reluctant to completely destroy Wei Zhao, because Wei Zhao like that was not the one he fell in love with. Yes, he loved Wei Zhao, and it was not until Wei Zhao left that Helian Zhuo discovered this fact that he did not want to admit.

Seeing that Helianzhuo was silent, He Rongling looked at him and said slowly, “You’re still thinking about Wei Zhao, aren’t you?”

“I didn’t!” Helian Zhuo denied it, speaking at an astonishingly fast speed.

“Haha!” He Rongling snorted coldly, “If not, how could you send someone to deliver such a letter?”

“You intercepted my letter? He Rongling, you are so bold!” Helian Zhuo slapped the table, sat down, and asked, “You asked people to hide the little bunny, didn’t you?” It was a question, but his tone was very certain.

Besides He Rongling, who else in Fuyu dared to oppose him outright. Only this daring guy, relying on his own achievements, has always done what he wants, and never put him in the eyes of the monarch.

He Rongling rolled his eyes back at him, and said slowly, “You’re just going crazy yourself, and you still want to drag me to go crazy with you? Little bunny, his father…” After he said that, the corners of his lips were obviously raised.

Helian Zhuo didn’t speak, and didn’t care about He Rongling’s teasing, he just kept silent for a long time.

He Rongling sighed and continued: “In the beginning, you asked someone to tie the second prince back, I was still thinking, you are finally smart, knowing that you will hit seven inches when you hit a snake… But I didn’t expect that you would actually I’m all the way to that stupid little sister with me…”

Helianzhuo raised his head, looked at He Rongling coldly, and said sarcastically, “That’s your own sister. You don’t always love her the most, but now you feel unbearable?” He has already been replaced.

“Shut up for me!” He Rongling’s calm expression finally showed cracks, and he asked sharply, “What I never expected was that the first thing you thought of when the national disaster was on the line was Wei Zhao.”

What a bargaining chip Yi Yin is, Helian Zhuo has worked so hard, he does not hesitate to destroy the nails that have been buried in Baicheng for many years, but also to catch people back. He doesn’t have to bargain with Wei Zhao on business matters, but he wants to ask Wei Zhao to meet alone. , not crazy what.

He Lianzhuo was able to ascend the throne of Fuyu’s Majesty, and the He Rong family contributed a lot, but the attitude of He Rong’s brothers and sisters was what he was most disgusted with. Helianzhuo stood up suddenly, and said coldly, “He Rongling, do you still remember who the Maharaja is?”

He Rongling didn’t show weakness, and sneered: “Of course I remember it, but I’m afraid you don’t remember it. A monarch who is unwilling to protect even the interests of the seven divisions, I don’t think the masters of the other five divisions will mind if I propose a replacement. suggested.”

The system of Fuyu is not the same as that of Dayan, the emperor does not have the centralized power like the emperor. Before Helianzhuo’s great-grandfather, the position of the monarch was held by the seven lords in turn, and the Helian family later monopolized the spearhead. As long as the lords of the other six tribes were unanimously opposed, the monarch could also be replaced, but not Instead of people from other tribes, find a suitable person to succeed the throne among the brothers or heirs of the Maharaja.

Helianzhuo’s brothers are gone, only three sons, the eldest son Pei Di is He Rongling’s nephew. If He Rongling really gathers the other five to support Pei Di, it will be no different from himself becoming a monarch.

He Rongling was not joking, his tone was very serious, and Helian Zhuo felt a sense of oppression that took his breath away.

He thought for a moment, then Fang retorted: “Why do you think I want Wei Zhao to come to Qingjia? The attack launched by the power of Dayan, even Tiele in its heyday could not resist, let alone us… Dayan The emperor is obviously not satisfied with taking back Youzhou, what he wants is the entire Sanhe Plain… In this case, do we still have a foothold? If we can’t beat it on the battlefield, I can’t think of other ways?”

No one else would know better than him how much Wei Zhao cared about Yi Yin, and if he threatened Yi Yin’s life, he did not believe that Wei Zhao would not surrender.

Looking at the confident Helian Zhuo, He Rong Ling felt more powerless. He had a feeling that if it wasn’t Helian Zhuo, but one of his brothers, that their family looked at back then, maybe he wouldn’t have to have such a headache at the moment.

He took a deep breath and calmed himself down. He Rongling and Helianzhuo looked at each other and said helplessly, “You want me to say something good about you, you really think that King Qin of Dayan is just like my stupid sister, full of heart. All I can think about is you and your son. I tell you, Wei Zhao is unlikely to come, but if you touch a single hair of his son, he can slaughter the entire Seven Divisions of Fuyu!” He Rongling was on the battlefield with Wei Zhao. He was convinced that what he saw was the real Wei Zhao.

Therefore, he replaced Helianzhuo’s letter to Wei Zhao, and also took Wei Chongrong outside the palace for protection. Otherwise, once Wei Zhao refuses Helianzhuo’s request, Wei Chongrong’s life will be in danger, and all of them may be buried with him.

He Rongling put down these words, threw his hands and left, leaving Helian Zhuo with fire and kicking the chair he had just sat on. From the beginning to the end, he could not get rid of the shadow of the He Rong family.

Wei Chongrong couldn’t say that he had the slightest fondness for Frida. When the Dae family designed to frame Wei Zhao, she did not hesitate to add fuel to it. It was because of their delicate cooperation that Wei Zhao was tortured by the Da Ye clan and nearly lost his life.

Seeing Wei Chongrong staring blankly at him, Frieda asked with a smile, “Second Highness, do you know me?”

She and Wei Chongrong had only met once, at the New Year’s Eve palace banquet that year. It has been more than five years since Wei Chongrong was less than four years old. If he really remembered, Frida would have He was surprised by his good memory.

Wei Chongrong nodded, how could he not remember that because of Princess Xin’an, Frieda’s appearance was slightly similar to Wei Zhao’s. He had even suspected that Helianzhuo had taken Frida for it. Wei Zhao’s substitute.

But in this case, Wei Zhao escaped, shouldn’t Frida be more favored? How could he bring his son to live outside the palace? This dilapidated small courtyard is really far from the palace.

Xu Shi saw through Wei Chongrong’s thoughts, and Frieda explained: “I don’t live in the palace, but I don’t live here either. This is a place for you, and the people of your majesty won’t come here. You just live in peace.”

Hearing Frieda’s words, Wei Chongrong looked around and found that although the house was not big, it was full of various facilities. He couldn’t help but ask, “Why did you bring me here? What’s in it for you?”

Ever since Tuoba Xianhan stepped in to help him, things started to go wrong. Wei Chongrong couldn’t figure out what they were doing. It didn’t make sense.

Like Helianzhuo, his original intention to kidnap him was very clear, and he used it to threaten Wei Zhao into submission. Although the method was a bit substandard, logically, it made sense.

But what about Tuoba Xianhan, what did he do? The Tuoba tribe is also one of the seven tribes of Fuyu. His father Tuoba has just died. Whether he is the next lord or not, it is natural to avenge his father.

But he was good, not only did he save the son who killed his father’s enemy, but he also took the risk of betraying the monarch, which is simply inexplicable.

Compared to Tuoba Xianhan, Frieda is not too much. She is Tie Le’s princess—of course, Tie Le has been crippled by Dayan. Princess, no matter from which point of view, she and Wei Chongrong are not the same country, and her actions are equally suspicious.

Frida smiled and did not answer Wei Chongrong’s question. Instead, she said anxiously, “Are you injured? I saw blood on your shoulder.”

Wei Chongrong looked down, and there were indeed some dark red marks on his right shoulder. He guessed that it was left by Tuoba Xianhan, so he shook his head and said, “I’m fine, it was someone else who rubbed against me.”

Freida didn’t ask any more questions, and asked Wei Chongrong to go to the back room to change clothes. When he was ready, she had already left with Loga, leaving only a dumb servant who couldn’t speak to take care of his food and daily life.

Wei Chongrong thought about escaping, but the dumb servant was so skilled that he couldn’t beat him, so he had to give up.

Meanwhile, Slane.

Huo Qingyang stood in front of Wei Zhao’s room with the letter he had just received from the Fuyu envoy, hesitating.

In the past few days, Wei Zhao looked the same on his face, but he could imagine the anxiety in his heart. Wei Chongrong has been kidnapped for several days, and he has never heard of it. Wei Zhao has to command the siege and miss his son. The degree of inner suffering is unimaginable.

Helian Zhuo tied Wei Chongrong and left. The letter he sent was definitely not a good thing. Huo Qingyang was very worried.

Just when he was hesitating whether to reach out and knock on the door, Wei Zhao’s clear voice came from the room: “Qingyang, come in.”

Huo Qingyang answered yes, and took the letter into the room with the expression on his face like a child who made a mistake.

Wei Zhao looked calm, stretched out his hand and said, “Give me the letter, I want to see what Helianzhuo will do.”

Huo Qingyang presented the letter with both hands, and then stared at Wei Zhao’s expression, as if he could see the content of the letter.

After Wei Zhao read the letter, his expression remained the same, and he ordered: “Qingyang, tell the Fuyu messenger, the land south of the Yaslan Mountains, whether Fuyu gives or not, this king has to decide, there is no discussion. room.”

Huo Qingyang was stunned, it seems that he guessed right, the people of Fuyu are very realistic, they did not expect Wei Zhao to give up the already captured Youzhou, but only proposed to stop the war. They wanted to keep Qingjia City, Baihe Plain and Ali River Plain.

“Qingyang, didn’t you hear what I said?” Seeing Huo Qingyang standing still, Wei Zhao raised his voice.

Huo Qingyang came to his senses, bowed and said, “Xiaguan will go immediately.” Wei Zhao refused to agree to the conditions put forward by the Fuyu people. What should the little prince do? The desperate Fuyu people might really kill him…

What Huo Qingyang can think of, Wei Zhao can also think of, Ke Qingjia is located in the hinterland of Fuyu, and there are few Han people. He buried a nail in Qingjia, which is much harder than Helianzhuo doing the same thing in Baicheng. Wei Chongrong, easier said than done.

After conveying Wei Zhao’s meaning to the Fuyu messenger, Huo Qingyang returned to his room, only to see that Wei Zhao was still in the same position as before, not moving at all, and his whole person was like a statue.

Huo Qingyang hesitated, walked over gently, and said in a low voice, “Your Highness, you…”

Before he could finish speaking, Wei Zhao suddenly turned around, stretched out his arms to hug him, and muttered, “Qingyang, don’t move, let me lean on for a while, it will be fine soon…” That invisible pressure , is about to drive him crazy.

Wherever Huo Qingyang dared to move, his entire body froze, his hands were hanging in the air, and he didn’t even dare to pat Wei Zhao’s back to comfort him.

“You said, did I do something wrong?” Wei Zhao wondered whether he was asking himself or Huo Qingyang.

Huo Qingyang had no answer and could only remain silent while maintaining his awkward posture.

Wei Chongrong fought wits and courage with the dumb servants every day, trying to escape, and he was defeated and defeated repeatedly, and he was not discouraged.

Frida heard the news and came once and warned him that Helian Zhuo did not give up looking for him, and hoped that he would do it for himself.

Wei Chongrong was unmoved and continued to go his own way. Wei Zhao’s army is approaching Qingjia City. He doesn’t want to escape, is he waiting to be hung on the city gate and threaten Wei Zhao? As for whether or not to escape, that is to do the best of human resources and obey the destiny.

In fact, He Rongling and Frieda did have a dispute over how to deal with Wei Chongrong.

He Rongling thought that with Wei Chongrong in his hands, Wei Zhao would always make some concessions, but he would not give in an inch. In this way, the meaning of the hostages would be gone, and Qingjia City would be destroyed, but it was a matter of sooner or later.

Frieda didn’t think so, Wei Chongrong was alive, and everything had a chance. If they killed him, Wei Zhao might really kill the city. She doesn’t care whether other people die or not, but her Loga, she can’t watch him die, which is also her original intention to save Wei Chongrong.

Helian Zhuo was speechless for a long time after hearing Wei Zhao’s original words being relayed by the messenger. He Rongling’s conditions were much gentler than his original, but Wei Zhao still refused to agree. It could be seen that in his mind, Dayan’s achievements were the most important.

Helian Zhuo narrowed his eyes slightly, and asked someone to tell He Rongling to enter the palace, I believe he wouldn’t mind telling his son’s whereabouts now.

Having figured out the martial arts routines of Dumb Servant, Wei Chongrong is no longer vulnerable to fighting with him, but unfortunately the gap is too large, and he still cannot defeat his opponent, let alone escape.

Wei Chongrong sighed and lay helplessly in the yard, staring at the faint starry sky. The dumb servant saw that Wei Chongrong couldn’t get old, and came to carry him. Wei Chongrong took the opportunity to attack behind him, but he was holding his right hand, unable to break free.

Just when Wei Chongrong sighed that another sneak attack failed, he saw a silver knife flash in front of him, and the dumb servant who was carrying him suddenly fell forward, with a deep knife behind him. If it weren’t for his quick response, he would have to be brought to the ground by him.

Wei Chongrong raised his head in amazement and looked at Tuoba Xianhan, who was standing opposite, the scimitar in his hand was still dripping blood.

Tuoba Xianhan wiped the knife clean on the dumb servant, put it back into the scabbard, stretched out his hand and pulled Wei Chongrong: “Second Highness, come with me, King Qin refused to agree to any conditions, Lord He Rong changed his mind, Tell Your Majesty your hiding place.”

Wei Chongrong froze in place, unwilling to move, his brows deeply tangled together.

The author has something to say:

The next chapter is to siege the city, be sure to let Rong Er and Daddy meet, o(￣ヘ￣o#) make a fist!
