I Rely on Beauty to Stabilize the Country - Chap 143
The visitor is the Emperor of Xixia.
Gu Yuanbai looked at him for a long time, then raised the corners of his lips and revealed an indifferent smile. Li Angyi wiped the blood on his head and sighed softly, “Please, for the sake of my appearance, send a military doctor to treat my injury.”
Gu Yuanbai said: “Here comes someone.”
Two quarters of an hour later, the injury on Li Angyi’s head had been simply bandaged. Dong Lingwei discovered Li Angyi on the battlefield. At that time, he was crushed under the corpse of a horse, only an arm’s length away from the abyss.
The candlelight in the tent was blown by the cold wind and swayed, casting dark and unclear light and shadow on the faces of the two emperors.
Li Angyi didn’t need to think too much to know how many soldiers and horses would be stationed in front of the camp. Tens of millions of people were defending him alone. Even if Li Angyi had three heads and six arms, he would not be able to escape from the Daheng Army Camp.
He sighed again, simply relaxed, leaned back on the chair, and looked at Gu Yuanbai like a friend reunited after a long separation, “You don’t seem to be hurt at all.”
Gu Yuanbai straightened his robes, raised his eyelids when he heard this, and half-smiled, “I’m indeed better than you.”
“Destiny is unpredictable,” Li Angyi said with a helpless look in his eyes. He was dazed for a moment and suddenly said, “The moonlight is beautiful tonight, why don’t we go out for a walk together?”
The guards in the camp tensed up and grasped the sabers on their waists.
Gu Yuanbai stood up directly and said, “Let’s go.”
*
The moonlight is in the sky, but the Daheng Military Camp has not yet fallen into a deep sleep. Soldiers holding torches are patrolling everywhere, and disaster relief is in order.
Li Angyi glanced at the bright moon hanging high in the sky and said leisurely: “After the natural disaster, the moonlight is still so bright. It is really heartless. The earth dragon turned over too suddenly, but it happened to come down when you and I were on the expedition. It sounds like It’s a bit like punishment from ghosts and gods.”
Gu Yuanbai stepped over the gravel and said in a slow tone, “You don’t believe it.”
“I believe it,” Li Angyi tilted his head and looked deeply at Gu Yuanbai, “I believe it very much.”
Gu Yuanbai narrowed his eyes.
“Before I went to Daheng, you may have heard that I have a hard life,” Li Angyi smiled slightly, with a hint of sarcasm. He played with the word between his lips and tongue, “You have a hard life, listen. It really hurts me.”
Gu Yuanbai didn’t speak, and Li Angyi didn’t want him to respond. He just muttered what he wanted to say softly: “You may not know that I was born in a hut. I Her mother was of low status, but she was lucky enough to be pregnant with a dragon. She was afraid that someone would ruin her path to heaven, so she ate and drank in the hut every day. In this way, she was frightened. Under the pressure of hiding, the snakes and scorpions in the harem didn’t even notice her. ”
“But a lowly palace maid gave birth to a lowly second prince while hiding from a concubine in the palace. It makes people think that she is so ignorant that she deserves to be damned.” Li Ang sighed, with a callous and indifferent look, as if the person in question was not his biological mother. “Her ambition exceeds her ability, and her actions are so disgusting. If she doesn’t die, who will?”
“The second prince who is mixed with blood and stench in the latrine deserves to die.”
“Because he is too dirty.” Li Angyi said.
Gu Yuanbai said lightly: “Your mother-in-law is now the queen mother by you.”
Li Angyi smiled, “Because she has a,” he said playfully, “a good son with a tough life.”
“Don’t worry, I haven’t finished speaking yet,” Li Angyi put his hands in front of him, his slightly curly black hair clotted with blood, “I have lived a difficult life since I was a child. The people are worried. I have three meals a day and am worried about food and clothing for my children. I am also worried about food and survival. Just talking about these hands,” he took up his hands and waved them in front of Gu Yuanbai. “These hands were once trampled under the feet of the empress in the palace. Because she felt the stones hurt her feet, she asked me to pave the way for her. The gravel road was not long, but at that time, she thought it would never end. I still remember the scene at that time. On the ground, like a dog, when the queen in the palace lifts her back foot, I have to quickly put the stepped hand in front, so that the queen can step on my hand in time, and the cycle starts again. ”
“Do you know why this empress treats me like this? Because I am really lucky and lucky. I was born in the womb of my humble mother-in-law five days before her son was born. I surpassed her son and became a The second prince of Xixia.”
Li Angyi said to himself: “It’s fitting that she sees me as unhappy.”
“People are either forced to survive or forced to do things they don’t want to do.” Li Angyi stopped, and a cold wind blew through everyone’s clothes. “These things have good benefits.” There are bad things that force you to move forward step by step. If you don’t do it, you won’t be able to live. No one wants to live, don’t you? How many hardships. The most troublesome thing in life should be the loss of power and this weak body. You can discover the spice problem so quickly, notice the physical discomfort so quickly, and think about living like this. You should know how hard it is. strong.”
Gu Yuanbai remained silent.
The cold wind blew the hair at his temples, and there were small wounds on the side of his face where stones had rubbed against him.
Li Angyi smiled bitterly and said softly: “I want to live and be regarded as a human being.”
“I want to wear clothes that suit my status as a prince, I want to eat on the table, I want others to stop laughing at me and throw a steamed bun into the hut, and then let me pick it up and eat it,” Li Angyi said, “Well, I have to To be honest, no matter how delicious the food is rolled around in the hut, it will be hard to swallow. ”
Gu Yuanbai looked at him. He stood in front of the broken tiles and ruins. There seemed to be a dark color shining in his eyes. The emperors of the two countries looked at each other quietly.
The smile on Li Angyi’s face faded and he became expressionless.
The seventh prince of Xixia is handsome. Li Angyi is three-thirds of Li Angshun, but his appearance is much ordinary. After suppressing his smile, his ordinary face showed an unusual gloomy and cold look, “I first learned to be a beast before I could survive in the filthy Xixia harem until now. On that gravel road, my hands were stepped on by the harem empress. The blood was flowing, and she wanted to kill my hand. The maid next to her scolded me for soiling the gravel road, and slapped me five times in public. When I wiped away the blood with the clothes on my chest and back. Decided that I must be a human being.”
“Be a real person, a person who can take revenge on all those who hurt me and beat me,” Li Angyi said with a stern face, “Who are the people in the harem most afraid of as emperor? They are most afraid of me. Because I am the only one who has suffered. Everyone was bullying me, and everyone wanted to pull me down, because they knew that as long as I stood up, they would die. ”
“The eldest prince is arrogant and treats me like a slave. He deserves to die. The third prince is gentle but lets me eat hot ashes in private. He and his mother deserve to die. The fourth prince and the fifth prince share the same mother. They are brothers and help each other. They deserve to die too… …As for the Seventh Prince, hey, he’s a fool, but he’s actually an excellent spearman.”
Li Angyi: “Guess what their expressions will be like after I become emperor?”
Gu Yuanbai: “I guess they are scared.”
Li Angyi couldn’t help laughing, his chest was tight and his back was bent with laughter, “You’re right.”
The grease on the torch exploded, the sparks were blown away, and it burned violently.
Li Angyi straightened up and lowered his voice: “But I finally became a human being, and now I lose again.”
“Of course I believe in heaven, but heaven doesn’t care about me!” Blood slowly rose in Li Angyi’s eyes, “It won’t let me live well! I have exhausted all my efforts, my tens of thousands of troops, millions of taels The entire Xixia is under my control and will slowly be resurrected in my hands, but the sky won’t let me do this!”
He pointed fiercely at Gu Yuanbai and shouted: “It’s you who are favored by the heaven! What have you suffered? All the people and officials love you, and you will get whatever you want! Even if you want my life, I have to take one.” Protect your legs!”
The guards, Dongling guards and soldiers quickly drew out their swords and spears, surrounded Gu Yuanbai in an instant, and aimed sharply at Li Angyi.
The cold light jumped, and the fire flashed dangerously.
Li Angyi’s excited emotions calmed down in an instant, and he still had the same wry smile, “There is a disaster from heaven, but you are fine, but I am trapped in the enemy camp. This is God’s will, and it is my fate. Gu Lian,” he said He said softly, word by word, “I didn’t lose to you, I lost to the sky.”
“If God wants me to die, I have to die.”
It wasn’t until this moment that Gu Yuanbai suddenly smiled. He said with mixed emotions, “Do you think you didn’t lose to me, but to the sky?”
Li Angyi said calmly: “Yes.”
“Then I want you to see who you lost to,” Gu Yuanbai turned around, his robes flying with his stride, “Take him with you.”
*
On the second day after the earthquake, Gu Yuanbai led his army outside the Xixia Army’s garrison.
The Xixia people were panicked, the city gates were tightly closed, and densely packed Xixia soldiers stood on the city walls.
Xixia did not have enough wound medicine. Due to the ambush in the rear, they had 20,000 to 30,000 wounded soldiers. In addition, the Xixia Emperor was missing, and the Xixia generals were panic-stricken. They led people to follow the emperor’s traces all night long. They did not even have time to search for food. The intact and uninjured soldiers were led out by the generals. All the people in this city were injured Xixia people.
Looking at the Daheng Army who were far away from the shooting range, despair gradually rose in their hearts as not a drop of water had entered after the earthquake.
Why were the people of Daheng able to raise their troops and arrive at Xixia City on the second day after the earthquake?
Gu Yuanbai was wearing armor. He looked at the city gate and said calmly: “General Zhang, pass on my message.”
Zhang Hu said that the general had accepted the order, “Yes!”
Gu Yuanbai said: “People in the city, I know that you are the wounded soldiers all over the city.”
Zhang Hucheng raised his voice and conveyed the words to the Xixia city wall in Xixia dialect.
“There is no cure for your injuries and you can only wait to die. After days of heavy snow and natural disasters, you may not even have enough food to survive for a few days now,” Gu Yuanbai said. “Soldiers on the battlefield, what will happen if they are injured? You don’t know the consequences. Food rations will be provided to uninjured soldiers first, but you, with your missing arms and legs, will only be abandoned and become nameless corpses in the war. Turn around and take a look at the ruins behind you. There are many of your comrades buried under it waiting for treatment, but you have no way to save them because you can’t protect yourself.”
“Your emperor and your generals cannot keep you safe,” Gu Yuanbai smiled, “They are not good emperors, nor are they good generals.”
Li Angyi’s expression changed slightly as he was restrained in the crowd.
The soldiers of Daheng were also listening to the words of the Holy One. They looked up at the hostile soldiers on the Xixia city wall, and saw that the dirt on their faces had not even been wiped off. The city wall under their feet was so tattered that it looked like it would be broken by a collision. Will collapse.
Apparently one night passed and they only hurriedly erected the city wall.
There is no comparison with Daheng.
The Xixia soldiers knew clearly that they should not listen to Emperor Daheng’s words and should refute them, but they remained silent and took all these words in their hearts.
“Here comes someone.” Gu Yuanbai said suddenly.
The soldiers at the rear pushed out the vehicle. As soon as they let go, the bloated vehicle immediately tilted up its handlebars and the contents on the vehicle fell to the ground.
The soldiers untied the layers of cloth tapes one by one, and they were filled with overflowing food and herbs.
Gu Yuanbai became angry and shouted: “Those who surrender will be saved! Those who don’t surrender will be killed!”
The army was shaken, and tens of thousands of people shouted: “Those who surrender will be saved! Those who do not surrender will be killed!”
The high sound made the ground and walls tremble.
The Xixia people in the entire city heard this cry that broke through the sky. They endured the pain in their bodies and looked at each other in twos and threes with their companions.
On the ruins in the corner, many people were still groaning in pain. Their lives were being lost rapidly, and their blood dyed the ground red.
More people were buried under the ruins of the walls, desperately waiting to die.
There are scenes of loneliness and helplessness everywhere within the dark city walls.
No one cares about them, no one saves them.
Medicinal materials and food are the lives of soldiers.
With a “clang”, the weapon in someone’s hand fell to the ground. This sound seemed to wake up the whole city, and the sound of falling iron tools was heard one after another.
Gu Yuanbai led the army and watched the Xixia city gate slowly open in front of them.
Gu Yuanbai exhaled a breath of thick air. He looked at the anxious Xixia people, turned around and spoke to the generals in a concise and concise manner: “Save people.”
A large number of people rushed into the Xixia city. Under the guarded and frightened eyes of the Xixia people, they lifted the man lying on the ground groaning in pain to the military doctor. The ruins were being lifted up and cleaned. Occasionally, when they saw someone who was not seriously injured, the Daheng soldiers would directly pull off the cloth bag from their waist and give it to them to use herbs to stop the bleeding.
Everything is organized and unhurried.
Gu Yuanbai rode on a thousand-mile horse, turned his head and looked at Li Angyi among the crowd.
“Let him go.”
Li Angyi was pushed out of the crowd and stood in front of Daheng’s army.
Gu Yuanbai looked at him condescendingly and said: “The natural disaster is merciless, and it has not spared me. Go and see the scene in your city. How is it different from mine? I, Daheng, will never take advantage of others’ danger. I will let you go.” Come on, I want to show you who is killing you.”
“I will save the soldiers you can’t save, and the people you can’t protect,” Gu Yuanbai leaned over, looking directly at Li Angyi with his dark eyes, “I will protect them.”
Gu Yuanbai straightened up and said in a sonorous voice: “You believe in destiny, and I will step on the sky.”
