Chapter 329

329 floating life long hate less happiness (V)

He looked at her eyes, and the originally calm look gradually showed some anger, which finally became a hot anger. He stepped forward, put his palm on her slender neck and said angrily, "say! What are you trying to cheat from me this time?"

She was pinched by him, but somehow she wanted to laugh. Sure enough, the trust between people was the most fragile. She cheated he Zhen once, and it wouldn't be so easy to get his trust again.

She coughed and said, "I... I want to be with you, cough... Forever..."

He Zhen suddenly released his hand, and an incredible look flashed at the bottom of his eyes. For a long time, he sneered: "Huo Wanhua, are you crazy?"

As soon as the war opens, thousands of people will die. Whether the people of Wu or Chang'an, they will be baptized by the war, displaced and separated. No matter who the final winner of this war is, it is always these innocent civilians who suffer.

Wu Hou worked hard for many years. He had long been the actual emperor of Wu. The fundamental reason why he started a rebellion was that he was afraid of the new emperor's "cutting vassal ships" under the pretext of "cutting vassal ships" "In the name of, he took away all the power in his hands, leaving only an empty name for him. Although Wu guobing was brave and good at fighting, his number was slightly inferior. The imperial court's soldiers were not good at water warfare, so the two sides didn't decide the victory or defeat after fighting for more than a month. Now hou Wu took advantage of the natural danger of the Yangtze River to shut out the imperial court's soldiers and decided that the longer the front dragged on, it would be disadvantageous to the imperial court.

But it is obviously impossible for the soldiers in Wu to fight all the way to Chang'an, so the war situation is becoming more and more anxious.

"As long as you withdraw, my second brother will also withdraw..." Huo Wanhua coughed twice and took a deep breath: "you retreat to Wu, even the imperial court can do nothing... Your he family can still control the power of Wu as before, no court, no capital, no war, whatever..."

He Zhen's anger almost gushed out. He said ruthlessly, "did you let me withdraw? After I withdrew, I let your good second brother take the opportunity to occupy Yuzhang and Xincheng, and then go straight into the land of Wu and kill thousands of people in the land of Wu?"

"He won't..." Huo Wanhua shook his head and said word by word: "I guarantee with my life that Huo Yan will never do that. I... I will also be a Wu man in the future. If he wants to kill me, let him kill me first..."

Will she be from Wu? She's going to

She raised a thin melon seed face, and her deer like eyes were as clear as water, so she looked at him quietly.

He Zhen was a little stunned, his eyes flashed over her face, pursed his lips and said nothing. Huo Wanhua looked at him for a moment, for fear that he might show a little guilty. He Zhen looked away from her face and looked at a bright moon half hanging in the night sky.

The atmosphere was very quiet, until a long reed pipe sound sounded, and someone played a song "Zi Gui", which sounded particularly desolate in the misty rainy night.

Before returning to le peak, the sand is like snow, and the moon outside the city is like frost. I don't know where to blow the reed pipe, and I look forward to my hometown all night.

The officers and men of Wu also miss their prosperous and beautiful Shangjing and want to end the war as soon as possible and return to their warm homes as soon as possible. The officers and men of the imperial court are thinking of Chang'an's wife and waiting to go home and reunite as soon as possible.

If it were not for the death of Wu Hou, perhaps the two sides of the war could really stop fighting, but unfortunately, this would never happen.

Wu Hou was shot a cold arrow by an assassin in the rear base camp. The arrow was poisonous. After all, he was old and addicted to wine and color for many years. His body had already become weak. Although the doctor prepared an antidote for Wu Hou to take, Wu Hou still didn't get through this.

He Zhen rushed back to Wu all night. Wu Hou dragged his last breath to see the son before closing his eyes. No one knows what he left to he Zhen.

After the death of Wu Hou, he Zhen, the son of a noble family, naturally inherited his title. Several of he Zhen's concubines were very sad about his father's death, but they had different reactions to he Zhen's attack on the throne of Wu Hou. The eldest childe was willing to take his younger brother as the Lord of Wu and continue to assist his younger brother, but the second childe took his own men and horses to Beijing overnight.

Two every act and every move of the hero came back to Beijing. He returned with two heads of people. He was haunting his eyes in the early days of his parents. His movements were long before he was expecting. Only his father died of cold and killed his brother. He naturally fell down a reputation of "mean and little".

But he doesn't care at all.

Before his father died, he could hardly speak. He ordered people to give him paper and pen, and wrote a few words on the paper: "retreat, the king of Wei in the future."

Coincidentally, he Zhen nodded slightly, lowered his voice and said to Hou Wu, "I understand that whether the great cause can be achieved in the future depends on the king of Wei“

Wu has strong troops and occupies the natural danger in the south of the Yangtze River. It is very easy to defend. However, in the southeast corner, although it can repel the invading imperial soldiers, it is extremely difficult to counter attack. Although the two sides have fought for many days, they have been anxious. I'm afraid they can only retreat to Wu in the end.

He Zhen had thought through this for a long time. What he had to do was wait for an opportunity, the only opportunity to completely defeat the imperial court and capture Chang'an.

Today's emperor Huo Zheng is gentle and generous. He is the emperor of the Ming Dynasty in the mouth of literati and officials. However, he is too regular to be an emperor, and his ability to govern the country is a little mediocre. If it were not for the fact that he was the eldest son of the former Emperor and Empress Dowager Shen, the throne would not necessarily fall on him. His younger brother, Huo Yan, king of Wei, was born a good material for being an emperor. He was both brilliant in literature and martial arts and was very good at defending people. Unfortunately, he was born a few years later than Huo Zheng. Even if he was brilliant, he was destined to be an assistant prince in his life and kneel at the feet of his gentle emperor brother forever.

However, Huo Yan, king of Wei, is not a man of self-discipline. He holds the military power and is ambitious. Now that empress dowager Shen is alive, he may still be a prince reluctantly, but what will happen to the two legitimate brothers of his mother when empress dowager Shen dies? Will the king of Wei, who holds great power, be relieved to be only a feudal official and bow to the emperor's brother all his life? What would Huo Zheng, the little emperor, do with his ambitious and dangerous brother?

What he had to wait for was the opportunity for Huo Yan, king of Wei, to conspire against the rebellion and the imperial court to be attacked.

Ambitious people are never willing to succumb to others. He Zhen even had a hunch that he would not wait too long for this opportunity.

Wu Hou happily closed his eyes. He used to favor concubines and concubines, and even wanted to replace his legitimate son with his beloved concubines. In the end, he found that the only thing he could expect was the legitimate son who had been ignored by him, and those beloved concubines were short-sighted and spoiled by his beloved concubines, which became a straw bag of gold and jade.

Sure enough, his son still couldn't be spoiled. Hou Wu sighed. Although he was reluctant to give up, he had nothing to do. There is only one Duke of Wu, and all the rights of the state of Wu can only be entrusted to one person. If the power is scattered due to the internal struggle of brothers, they cannot be attacked by the imperial court, and they will lose themselves.

He would rather kill all the concubines than let them rebel or split the state of Wu because of internal strife.

"If... Boss, they... Turn against you, you... Kill... Kill..." Wu Hou tried his last strength and gasped to tell his son, but he saw his son's face expressionless and said faintly: "it's certain."

Smelly boy, you're really cruel... I didn't expect that in the end, this legitimate son who has been ignored is most like him

"If they keep their own ways, I will take good care of them." the smelly boy finally said something he wanted to hear. Hou Wu raised his face and smiled at his son: "boy, take care of yourself..."

As a father, he didn't accompany you for a long time and left you such a mess, which made you live so hard at a young age. I'm really sorry... Hou Wu's smile suddenly stiffened on his face. He longed to look at his son's face, but his eyes gradually relaxed... He Zhen silently looked at his father, half rang, and gently closed his father's eyes with his palm.

Go with peace of mind. Wang Tu's ambition will come true one day.

As for Huo Wanhua, she was not in his plan. As early as that night, they had been completely cut off. The past was just a peach colored dream. When they woke up, everything woke up.

When they meet again, the only relationship between them is the princess of the imperial court and the rebel against the imperial court. Either he or she dies. But he didn't expect that she would not be afraid of death and told him to stay with him forever.

She is a liar full of lies. He knew for a long time that he should take her as a hostage. Or kill her immediately

He Zhen brushed away with a gloomy face, leaving Huo Wanhua standing there. It was really cold in the chilly spring night

His maids tried their best to torture her. He Zhen turned a blind eye to everything and even acquiesced in her torture. She silently endured everything until he saw her pushed down from the platform by a jealous maid. He jumped down and caught her falling body like a butterfly.

She smiled and stared at him, but he pushed him away. From then on, he knew he had lost.

He wants both.

Since then, he still wore a straight face, but the smile on Huo Wanhua's face became brighter and brighter day by day. She seemed to have understood her position in he Zhen's heart and was calm about his cold face.

She was as clumsy and careful as a newly married little wife to please him. Over time, his stone heart could not help being softened by her and almost... Believed her.
