    (Do you know, your strength on the monthly vote list has scared many people!) Chapter 566 Luoshui Corpse Mountain Ma Lilian Suzaku Watching the Moon Wu Yinyu Since the founding of the Sui Dynasty, the Luoshui area has not experienced such a tragic event  fighting.  When the emperor personally marched, the navy opened the way and Li Yuanshan deliberately led the army westward, so there was little resistance when crossing the river.  The last blood-stained war in Luoshui dates back more than a hundred years ago when Taizu Yang Jian, the founding emperor of the Sui Dynasty, led his army to pacify the northwest.  In that battle, the Yang family generals wiped out 160,000 Zheng Kingdom's northwest army in a battle on the Luoshui River. According to records, the corpses of the defeated Zheng army were scattered for dozens of miles, while the Yang family army attacked Jinyang City in one go.  This time, the soldiers who followed the Yang family did not have the same morale as they had more than a hundred years ago.  Wang Yiqu was the great general of the Sui Dynasty Navy. This man had led troops for more than twenty years. No one knew how to lead the navy in combat better than him.  More than 20 years ago, he led the navy to invade the Shang Kingdom and became famous in the first battle, which also established his status as the first person in the Sui Dynasty navy.  Because of this, it was as difficult as climbing to the sky to break through the Luoshui River where he led his army to defend.  The emperor had no intention of dividing his troops to cross the river and spread the battle line to disperse Wang Yiqu's naval forces.  However, the number of troops around the emperor was not as large as that of Wang Yiqu and Gao Kaitai. The stronger side defended, while the weaker side attacked, which meant that every battle was destined to be particularly tragic.  The brilliance of the setting sun turned red and was no longer dazzling.  A large ship anchored on the river and parked in the center of the river. The soldiers of the Sui Navy looked at the soldiers on the west bank who came to carry the corpses. Everyone's face was not good-looking.  To be honest, they don't want to kill each other like this.  But the banner of rebellion has been raised, and there is no way back.  The soldiers of the Sui Army were carrying the bodies of their comrades expressionlessly, while another group of people were digging holes in the distance.  Over the past two months, this has happened almost every day.  So the soldiers had become numb and no longer even feared the corpses on the ground.  The soldiers bandaged Ma Lilian¡¯s wounds and then went to fetch water. Ma Lilian looked at the soldiers with somewhat blank eyes as they mechanically walked over, carried the body back and threw it into the pit.  Not far away, tens of thousands of corpses were buried in dozens of huge graves.  Since being blocked on the river bank, many people have died every day.  Ma Lilian knew that the main theme of war was never life but death, but she still felt a little confused.  Just two years ago, when the emperor's personal expedition team crossed Luoshui to the west, she saw warm smiles on the faces of the navy soldiers. The infantry and navy soldiers even gave each other a smile when they parted.  A solid hug.  They said blessings to each other and waved goodbye.  Two years later, we met again.  They are already facing each other with swords and guns, fighting to the death.  It all happened so suddenly that she couldn't adapt to it.  The wound was very painful, but Ma Lilian didn't care at all.  The rays of the setting sun shone on her face, then receded.  She just sat there blankly, watching a large hole gradually filled up with corpses and then covered with soil to form a grave.  After it got dark, the soldiers came over with a bowl of gruel.  Ma Lilian looked at it and shook her head slowly: "I'm not hungry, just drink it." The soldier opened his mouth, but in the end he just helplessly placed the bowl of porridge beside her and turned away.  As night falls, the smell of blood in the wind is still so strong.  Ma Lilian turned her gaze to the huge royal chariot in the distance, and could vaguely see those Jinyi schools still standing there upright.  The lights on the chariot were very bright, but no one could be seen inside.  People came in and out from time to time, and they seemed to be in a hurry.  Only then did Ma Lilian remember that it seemed that she had not seen the emperor for nearly a month.  The last time I saw the emperor was the day when a thousand warriors stained the east coast with blood.  Is the emperor's illness more serious?  Ma Lilian frowned slightly, but couldn't find the answer.  It should be like thisif he wasn't seriously ill, the emperor shouldn't have been unable to get off his chariot for nearly a month.  I saw the imperial doctor going in and out several times every day. Perhaps because the rebels' blockade was too tight, the emperor's mood was getting worse and worse, so his health was getting worse and worse.  She looked at the bowl of porridge. Although her stomach ached with hunger, she had no appetite.  It has been more than a month, and each person only has two bowls of rice porridge every day.  She is now a fifth-grade general and can drink three bowls a day.  If this continues, I'm afraid we will be completely out of food in less than half a month.  By that time, the rebels blocking the river did not need to come to kill them, they only needed to come over and watch them starve to death.  There is only a river across the river, and the smoke from the rebel cooking on the east bank of the river floats over every day, making people dream of a whole bowl of white rice and pork stewed until it falls apart at the touch of a touch.  "Don't waste it" I don't know when she will face herThe person sat down, Ma Lilian looked up and quickly stood up to salute. The person opposite waved his hand and said in a gentle tone: "Sit down, drink the porridge." He sniffed and then smiled: "The other side is today.  What we had for dinner was pork stewed with cabbage. It was so fragrant that it could be eaten with rice." Ma Lilian smiled bitterly, picked up the porridge bowl and took a sip.  "Master Hou, is your Majesty" She hesitated for a moment and finally asked: "Are you feeling unwell?" Sitting opposite her was a middle-aged man wearing brocade clothes. Even in such a difficult environment, he  She still kept her clothes neat and clean, her clothes were very smooth, and the boots on her feet were not stained with any mud.  His hair was combed straight and tied back.  He was clean shaven and meticulous.  His name is Hou Wenji.  Originally the emperor had left him to assist Jin Shixiong in suppressing the rebellion, but at this moment, Jin Shixiong's affairs were no longer important.  The emperor changed his mind and planned to take him back to Chang'an City.  Because Hou Wenji's experience is unparalleled, if there are rebels in Chang'an City, he can uncover them one by one.  The emperor often changed his mind. For example, he really thought about letting Fang Jie be the prince's junior master and assist in the affairs of the East Palace.  But later, he asked Fang Jie to guard the Langru Mountain Canyon without hesitation.  For example, he wanted to die in the northwest and stop worrying about government affairs, but he eventually changed his mind.  "Discomfort?" Hou Wenji's smile was a little bitter, he shook his head and said, "Maybe" "You don't even know." Ma Lilian sighed and looked at the gruel in the bowl in a daze.  "Drink the porridge first, otherwise you may not even have the desire to drink it after a while." Ma Lilian glanced at Hou Wenji in surprise, then raised her neck and poured the porridge into her stomach.  Because she was too hungry, the gruel rushed into her stomach and broke open the adhering stomach walls. She immediately frowned in pain.  It took a while to recover, and then she smiled apologetically at Hou Wenji.  "What do you want to tell me, sir?" Ma Lilian asked.  "Choose a few of your cronies to protect you and leave tonight. I will order people to let you go. You are the only woman in this camp. War women should never be involved, and women never belong.  The battlefield. After leaving, keep walking south, take off your shirt, and put on civilian clothes. If you are lucky enough to escape the rebels, go back to Chang'an. Don't think about going to the battlefield again. "Ma Lilian was stunned: "Why.  Why?" Hou Wenji looked at the empty bowl next to her and said after a moment of silence, "How long has it been since you last seen the emperor?" "How long has it been since you last seen the eunuch Su Buwei?  "It's been a month." Hou Wenji stood up, looked at Ma Lilian with some pity and said, "Let's go. This is why I asked you to finish the bowl of porridge before telling you. If you knew, you would feel sick."  , If you can¡¯t eat, you won¡¯t have the energy to escape. You shouldn¡¯t have come here in the first place. The emperor has left for a long time, and the army can¡¯t cross the river. But it¡¯s not difficult for the great cultivator to lead the emperor across the river. The people here are just the emperor¡¯s stay.  Those who came down to die, go to die every day, just to make the rebels on the opposite side think that the emperor is still here" Ma Lilian's heart almost stopped. She looked at Hou Wenji with wide eyes, hoping to see it from his face  When you see the flaw, you can see that he is lying.  However, she knew that she could not find a flaw.  "Whywhy is this happening?" She murmured.  "Why are there so many?" Hou Wenji glanced at her, and after being silent for a while, he took out a banknote from his sleeve and handed it to her: "Go back, you still have your mother at home, your father has died in the war.  Think about your mother. The emperor is no longer the emperor worthy of your death, and the court is no longer the court worthy of your death. I will leave, but it¡¯s not time yet.¡± After saying this, he placed the banknote.  Marilyn got on her knees and turned away.  Ma Lilian looked at his back and then at the huge royal chariot.  "I-fuck-your ancestors!" She hugged her head and cried, not knowing who or what she was crying about.  ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­ Huangyang Road Zhuque Mountain This is a mountain range that stretches for hundreds of miles and is the most famous scenic spot on Huangyang Road.  In the peaceful years, countless literati and poets visited mountains and mountains every year, leaving behind many witty sayings.  The most famous allusion is the story of Zhu Xiaochen, a talented scholar of the Sui Dynasty, who met the Princess Anyang of the Sui Dynasty here decades ago and fell in love with her. A love poem sealed her life.  Although because of the difference in family status,Unfortunately, this talented and beautiful couple did not get together in the end, but later many young men and women came here to see the Moon-watching Pavilion, which was a poem that sealed their love.  "But since the war, all the wealthy people have fled away from disaster, and ordinary people have no time to have fun.  Moreover, in the past year, there has been a group of bandits who have taken over the mountain and are said to be extremely vicious. They robbed passing merchants and wealthy households, so no one dared to approach them anymore.  Moon Watching Pavilion is located halfway up Zhuque Mountain and is built on a protruding boulder.  Sitting here, you can have a panoramic view of the scenery below the mountain.  A young woman wearing a goose-yellow dress sat on a stone bench, hanging her head in a daze.  The mountain breeze blew her long skirt, making her a little more agile.  She looked to be about seventeen or eighteen years old, with a round and cute oval face, and her two curved eyebrows were slightly wrinkled, and she didn't know what she was thinking about.  There was a short blunderbuss in her hand, which was polished brightly and cleanly.  "Miss" On the stone steps, a little maid in a lavender dress floated over like the wind, holding a letter in her hand with joy on her face.  "There is a letter from the master." She ran over, with beads of sweat on her forehead.  The one wearing a goose-yellow dress was Wu Yinyu, the apple of Sanjinhou's eye. She sat up straight, took the letter, opened it and read it, then her face showed joy: "Daddy is coming soon, within a month at the latest."  "That's great!" The little maid Long'er said with a smile: "My lady has been worried about it since I left. Now I can finally rest assured." "It's nothing, sir," Wu Yinyu lowered his head to cover it up.  Holding back a blush on her face, she deliberately suppressed the excitement in her heart and said: "You said that guy is coming, so annoying." "Disgusting?" Long'er chuckled and said, "Why do I feel that the young lady likes her so much?  Where is that guy?" "Bah, bah, bah." Wu Yinyu rolled his eyes at Long'er and said, "Who likes that rogue guy? I just look after that shabby workshop for him every day. I'm bored to death. If he comes, I'll watch it myself.  That¡¯s it, who cares?¡± Just as he was talking, he suddenly saw a puff of smoke rising from behind the mountain.  "This Andrew!" Wu Yinyu stamped his feet: "What trouble did they get into again? Last time they burned a row of houses, and last time they injured their arms. I don't know what happened this time. What happened to them?  A foreigner with blue eyes and a big nose knows how to fool around." She stood up and straightened her dress: "Let's go down and take a look." At the same time, there were several newly built wooden houses on the flat land behind the mountain.  It has collapsed and many people are carrying water to put out the fire.  A tall foreigner with a blackened face laughed heartily, not caring at all about the tattered clothes on his body. He laughed wildly and shouted in broken Chinese: "I succeeded! I finally found the mixing ratio! Genius  ¡­That General Fang of yours is really a genius! Without his letter, I wouldn¡¯t have been able to find the perfect ratio!¡± PS: When I came up with these two names, I thought that there would be such a chapter sooner or later.  In the mountain of corpses and sea of ??blood, Ma Lilian is like a flower stained with blood and blooming.  In the mountains of the southwest, Wu Yinyu is the piece of beautiful jade hidden in the mountains.  Lotus blooms in the sea of ??blood, and beautiful jade is hidden in the mountains.  In fact, when Ma Lilian was frightened by Fang Jie who spit out bugs in the martial arts academy, she might have been destined to stay away at that moment.  She and Fang Jie had never had any in-depth contact from beginning to end, and Fang Jie might have already forgotten about this woman.  It cannot be said that she experienced such suffering because she was far away from Fang Jie.  It can only be said that because of knowing Fang Jie, Wu Yinyu can live a safe and secure life in Zhuque Mountain.
