He played with the rescued man again [Quick Transmigration]

Chapter 57

 Wei Guang was enraged, his eyes were red, and he whipped the two severely. Then he ordered the soldiers to drag the bloody father and son down, and took care of them together with the rest of the Xiao family.

Xiao Wende has been the city lord for decades, and he has accumulated a lot of power. His women and children are very afraid of him. In the beginning, they competed to please him and took good care of him. But as time went by, they got used to his appearance like a dead dog lingering on his last legs, and no one came to rescue them. Their disappointment piled up, and the resentment in their hearts could no longer be hidden.

They complained and cursed Xiao Wende, wishing to let him die. They felt that if Xiao Wende died, Wei Guang might let them live.

Xiao Junlin and Xiao Mingzhe were the other two people who were excluded. Xiao Junlin offended Wei Guang because of an unknown woman, while Xiao Mingzhe let the Wei family run away negligently, and believed that a fake defense map led to a peaceful war. The rebel army was wiped out.

If it wasn't for the two of them, how could they have fallen to where they are today?

It's a pity that Xiao Junlin provoked Wei Guang before, and he was injured more severely than Xiao Wende. He was lying on the bed and was completely taken care of by his biological mother, the wife of the former city lord, Mrs. Li. The rest of the concubines couldn't bully the dying man, so they vented all their resentment on Xiao Mingzhe.

Xiao Junlin was lying on the bed, listening to several concubines outside the house beating Xiao Mingzhe, a distorted smile appeared on his withered face. He never forgot that when his leg injury fell to the bottom, his good brother snatched away his beloved woman and completely plunged his life into darkness.

Xiao Junlin moved his fingers with difficulty, grabbed the wrist that Mrs. Li wiped for him, and called hoarsely with a dry voice, "...Mother..."

"Junlin, you are awake! What do you want? Do you want a drink? ?" Madam Li asked repeatedly.

Xiao Junlin nodded, and took a sip of water with Madam Li's help. This drinking water ladle was usually used to serve rice, and because it was not washed cleanly, it had a sour smell of spoiled food.

Xiao Junlin swallowed this disgusting mouthful of water, his throat suddenly choked up for some reason, and tears flowed down his face, wetting his skinny face.

Madam Li was shocked, "What's wrong, Junlin? Don't scare me!"

Xiao Junlin slid across her aging face little by little through the blurred tears, and the strong guilt in his heart made him breathless , "Mother, I'm sorry...I regret it...I should, I should have listened to you..."

Mrs. Li wiped his tears while shaking her head desperately, "It's okay, it's okay, mother doesn't blame you anymore."

Xiao Junlin continued , "... Please forgive my son for being unfilial... the kindness of nurturing, in the next, next life..."

Before he finished speaking, he had already opened his eyes and swallowed, and the last light in his cloudy eyes disappeared.

"King's Lin—" Madam Li wailed, threw herself on his body and cried bitterly. While weeping bitterly, she still didn't forget to insult Wei Yingying loudly, cursing Xiao Wende and Wei Guang.

The rest of the Xiao family heard her wailing, and they stuck out their heads to look at her, either gloating or pointing at her.

The concubine who beat Xiao Mingzhe also ran away curiously. Xiao Mingzhe lay on the ground with his head in his arms. Not only did he not feel happy when he heard Xiao Junlin's death, but he felt a bit sad...

Two days after Xiao Junlin's death, Xiao Wende He also swallowed painfully.

The subordinates came down to report the death of Xiao's father and son, and Wei Guang waved his hand in a moody way, "Get them a pair of straw mats to wrap them up, and find a place to hide them, so we don't need to report them."

"Yes, General."

Wei Jinfeng Seeing that he was frowning, he guessed that he had listened to Xiao Junlin's provocative words. In fact, it wasn't just his father, he might not have felt a little uneasy in his heart.

But their father and son have no choice, father turned against Xiao Wende before, now turns against Shen Yuan again, what will people in the world think of them? What would the soldiers of the Wei family army think of them? The military salary they received before was all given by the Shen family!

More importantly, Yue Yue, they did everything to protect his younger brother, how could they destroy his happiness with their own hands now?

Wei Guang was worried about the current situation, and even Mrs. Wei, Wei Ling and the others didn't bother to pay much attention to it. After learning from Wei Jinfeng that they were safe and sound, he put it aside for the time being.

In fact, the father and son didn't bother for long, because Jiang Yanlan decided to send troops to take down the last city of Yanjing...

***

Now Yanjing is basically in full swing, and the opponents of the Shen family were defeated all the way. Seeing that Shen Yuan was about to attack the capital, Yanjing sent envoys to ask for peace.

Emperor Longqing is only six years old now, and it is the Empress Dowager Wu and the Wu family behind her who are really in power.

Empress Dowager Wu was very straightforward, willing to let Emperor Longqing decree to abdicate and hand over the whole country to the Shen family. However, she has two conditions: one is that Shen Yuan will marry Emperor Longqing's sister, Princess Yunyang, as the queen; the other is that after Shen Yuan ascends the throne, he must decree that the current Emperor Longqing is the King of Zhongshun, and he must not be imprisoned or killed.

These two conditions are not harsh, if the average person will definitely agree.

Sitting in the top seat with Jiang Yanlan, Wei Chengyue, who was receiving the envoy, was startled when he heard this, and was about to turn his head to see Jiang Yanlan's expression, when he felt his hand on the table being held by someone, and someone beside him Said in a familiar voice, "No need, go back and tell Queen Mother Wu, I will not agree to any of her requests!"

The envoy's eyes widened in disbelief, "City Lord Shen, Princess Yunyang is the most beautiful daughter of the first emperor, and she is now in her 28th year, which is the time when the flowering period is at its peak. If you marry her, your heir will be The blood of the Xia family. There are many aristocratic families in Yanjing who are loyal to the Xia family. If you want to subdue them, marrying Princess Yunyang is the fastest way.

" When he grows up in the next year, you are already a veritable lord of the world. Empress Dowager Wu has a compassionate heart and cannot bear the loss of life for the people of Yanjing. This time, she proposed peace and just wanted to raise her youngest son to grow up safely."

Jiang Yanlan sneered, "I don't know what With a compassionate heart, I only know how to cut the weeds and eradicate the roots to avoid future troubles! No matter what your plans are, I will decide the fate of Emperor Longqing and the Wu family!"

After speaking, before the envoy could persuade him again, he waved his hand and asked someone to drag him down forcibly .

Everyone in the hall looked at each other, and Shen San asked

puzzledly, "Why didn't the master agree to the envoy's proposal?" Jiang Yanlan said righteously, "Do you think Empress Dowager Wu really wants Emperor Longqing to abdicate? It's just a delay It's just a trick. We are in a good situation now, and it is only a matter of time before we break into Yanjing City in one fell swoop, why should we bind ourselves and be controlled by others?"

"Not only can we not promise them, but we also want to attack Yanjing City as quickly as possible. If there is any conspiracy, it will be defeated by itself!"

Everyone suddenly said, "The city lord is wise!"

Jiang Yanlan's expression changed, "All generals obey orders."

Everyone stood up and half-kneeled to salute, "The last general will wait for the city lord to order."

"Go back immediately and gather an army to attack the city tomorrow!"

"Yes—"

Wei Jinfeng got up and walked out with his father. Halfway through the walk, he turned his head subconsciously, and found that Shen Yuan, who was righteous just now, had changed another expression.

His slender body was leaning halfway, with an affectionate smile on Jun's face, he was pinching his younger brother's fingers and talking to him. As for his younger brother, his big round eyes were clearly bent, and he pretended to stare at the person in front of him.

Seeing this scene, Wei Jinfeng's restless heart strangely let go...

***

Seeing the envoy's return, Empress Dowager Wu asked eagerly, "How is it, did Shen Yuan agree?" The

envoy knelt on the ground and saluted , "Back to the Queen Mother, Lord Shen, he won't agree to a single thing!"

"How is that possible?" Uncle Wu stood up straight in shock, "He doesn't even want the rightful throne?"

"City Lord Shen also said, said ..." The envoy stammered, under the repeated urging of the Wu family siblings, he closed his eyes and said, "He said, 'No matter what your plans are, I will decide the fate of Emperor Longqing and the Wu family.'"

" Presumptuous!" The

envoy kowtowed desperately, "The Queen Mother, spare me!"

After cleverly dragging the envoy down, the Empress Dowager Wu patted her chest, gritted her teeth, and said, "This Shen Yuan, oil and salt are not allowed to enter! I really thought I was afraid of him Turning

his head, he stared at the silent woman next to Uncle Wu who lowered her head and said, "Mr. Yang, when will the gunpowder you mentioned be successfully developed?" The

pseudonym Yang Qingwan Wei Yingying's eyes flickered, and she said in a panic, "Go back to the Queen Mother, it will be soon." The

Queen Mother Wu was very irritable, "Soon, soon, you said last time that it will be soon, how long will it take?"

Wu Guojiu also stared at her, "Qingwan, now that life and death are at stake, do whatever you can. After the matter is done, I will make you a regular person and let you be my uncle and wife."

Wei Yingying suppressed Feeling flustered in her heart, she pretended to nod with confidence, "I understand, give me another three days, and I will succeed this time."

In fact, her knowledge of gunpowder is limited to the phrase that modern elementary school students are familiar with The formula, as for how to make it exert its power, just ask three questions.

In the original plot, Xiao Junlin loved her very much, and believed in her words, because she had a word, and found many craftsmen to conduct experiments, and finally got the gunpowder out.

But because of Jiang Yanlan's change, she voluntarily abandoned Xiao Junlin, and met a human trafficker on the way to escape, and ended up in a brothel. Wei Yingying tried her best to get a prostitute to redeem her body. Later, she got in touch with Wu Guojiu through him, and finally became one of his concubines.

Maybe it can't be called a concubine, but just a skinny horse that can be thrown away at any time.

In order to improve her own status, Wei Yingying racked her brains to come up with the killer weapon of gunpowder. It's a pity that she showed up too late, and Wu Guojiu didn't support her like Xiao Junlin did, recruiting craftsmen for her. Let her study it by herself, she will be a ghost if she can figure it out!

Seeing the soldiers approaching the city, Wei Yingying once again conceived a plan to escape. But this time she was not so lucky, she was caught by Uncle Wu just as she packed her bags.

"You want to run?"

Wei Yingying looked at the expression on his face, she shook her head and said, "No, I, I don't have a clue at the moment, I want to go out and find a master craftsman to discuss."

Uncle Wu Guo snorted coldly, He raised his hand to let his guard take the bag, and the guard opened the bag, only to see that there were two clothes inside, several bank notes and some scattered silver taels.

Wei Yingying stammered and explained, "I thought that if the craftsman didn't want to come back with me, I would buy him with money."

"How dare you lie!" Uncle Wu Guo slapped her to the ground hard, "You Do you think my country's uncle's mansion is a place where you can come and leave whenever you want?"
