It Starts With A Mountain

Chapter 231

The music kept getting lower and lower, until Wan Lai was silent, and the battle between the two sides on the stage had been decided.

The men in blue robes drove the men in black with very little force, and the audience paused for breath. They were relieved at this moment because they witnessed the ferocity of their battle.

The other side's battle was not so lucky. The veteran didn't wait for support, but was defeated and fled in embarrassment.

Suddenly, the gongs and drums were loud, and all the voices became impatient. Compared with the fierce battle in the quiet just now, the voices at this moment were simply noise.

The scene on the stage changed again.

The old guard was held on the stage, waiting to be beheaded, and a group of people gathered around him and spat.

And the military general who escaped was wearing a red dress, holding his head high, and welcoming the cheers of the civilians.

Behind him, Chu Qingyi changed into a suit and was chased by soldiers in full armor.

The audience understood that Chu Qingyi was playing the official Tsingshan man who fought against the demons, but why did he want to kill him.

After a long time, the people on the field retreated one by one, leaving only Chu Qingyi, and the noisy gongs and drums also quieted down at this moment.

Chu Qingyi regained her expression of no sorrow and no joy, and sang slowly:

"The black dog chases the eagle in the sky

Whale swims to land to catch up with wild horse

The heroic general was beheaded

The coward who ran away became the god of war

These stories all take place in another world

I advise everyone watching the show not to think too much"

After singing, Chu Qingyi suddenly raised his sword and made a throat-slashing posture, and his body slowly fell to the ground as if he had lost all his strength.

I also advise everyone not to think too much... Do you think we are fools, why do you mention the word "God of War" after you, Yang Longting is sitting on the side, you are just scolding the street in front of you.

Everyone is not stupid, can't you see that the veteran in the play is alluding to Lin Wentian, that the "God of War" is the God of War present today.

However, there may be some who really do not understand, Huyanli and other Rong people stood up and applauded, expressing high respect for the art workers.

"Okay, it's so good, okay!"

Huyanli applauded vigorously, although it was different from the common singing in the empire, when the plot was more compact, the dramatic tension at the end was majestic, and most importantly, the lyrics were simple and easy to understand, so we could all understand.

Everyone looked at them with contempt, thinking in their hearts: a bunch of illiterate fools.

Suddenly startled, cold sweat soaked everyone's necks. If the play wasn't a play, then what role would my group play in the play? It was the one who spit at the veteran's grave and knelt and licked around the god of war.

So, who is the fool, maybe this group of naive Rong people are the only sober people on the field.

The point is, is this scene real?

The civil servants and military generals in the stands all had blank expressions, as if they didn't understand it. It was these scholars that really affected them. After today, these news will be spread out, spread by ten, ten, and one hundred, causing uproar in the hearts of more people.

Everyone looked at the aloof Emperor Ming, and at this time his statement was the most important.

Emperor Ming put his palms together, patted it twice, and said, "Okay, okay."

Civilians and military generals don't know whether this crisis is in the past or not. The key is how the Ming emperor views this matter. The emperor's mind is really unfathomable.

"Declare the decree." Emperor Ming waved his hand.

This incident did not seem to have much impact. Liu Aji came out with the imperial decree in his hand and said loudly: "Xuan Sheng Yu, Youzhou King Yanglong will stop the ban... Xuan, the school captain Niu Sanjin will be sealed..."

After all, everything was back on track, nothing seemed to have happened, and the rewards for Cheng Dalei and Yang Longting were also down.

Yang Longting sealed the word "God of War". He was already a king and could not be sealed, so he gave him an honorary title, which was regarded as a stamp on Yang Longting's title of "God of War" in the Empire. In addition, Youzhou does not have to pay taxes for ten years, and he also awards a number of weapons and land, and his subordinates also receive rewards.

To Cheng Dalei, he was awarded the fourth-rank military commander, the general Fuzhong, and guarded the Xiemaguan in the northwest. From the ninth-rank captain to the fourth-rank general, Cheng Dalei is considered to be in the sky in one step, but compared to the credit for his rescue, it is nothing, and the northwest area is really dangerous.

"I am ashamed, I dare not accept such a reward."

Yang Longting suddenly got up and knelt down to Emperor Ming.

Emperor Ming frowned: "You have contributed to the empire, you don't have to refuse, you deserve it."

"This minister is not refusing, but feels that he is really unworthy."

"Why do you say that? Get up and talk, you don't have to kneel." Emperor Ming waved his hand.

Yang Longting only got up and said, "This minister is bold, and if there is something in my heart, I don't feel unhappy. Please forgive me for being rude."

"Let's be honest, I wanted you to talk today."

Emperor Ming looked around and saw that everyone's eyes were on him. When he opened his mouth, he was still full of confidence, and his voice shook all directions.

"Since Your Majesty is gracious, I will let go of my courage and say some things that I wanted to say but dare not say. Your Majesty's rewards are many, but not many. Youzhou lacks people and food, and His Majesty will not give them. I have to ask Your Majesty. I don’t want it for myself, I want it for the people of Youzhou, and the people of Youzhou live very hard.”

From the point of view of a prince, Yang Longting's words are actually a bit of a bad rule, and some of the underlying contradictions have also been brought out. But an old official fritters, why would do this.

"But I don't want this reward today, it's not that I don't want it, it's not worthy of it." Yang Longting said loudly: "Including the title of God of War, I don't deserve it, because this title should not be given to me, but to someone else."

The scholars in the stands were infected by his emotions, and some people couldn't help but ask: "This title should not be given to you, then who else should it be given to?"

Yang Longting raised his right hand, spitting: "It's my brother Cheng Dalei Cheng Xian!"

puff!

Cheng Dalei almost threw himself on the spot, what the hell, you have to disgust me, don't you?

"Cheng Dalei?" Li Letian couldn't help asking.

"The day before yesterday, His Highness sent someone to ask if I've heard of this name, hey, how could I have not heard of it. To tell you the truth, my brother Cheng Xian was originally a thief, but he and I became friends of life and death. In the first battle of Zhou, I was only supporting from the rear, and it was Brother Cheng Xian who really faced the powerful enemy." Yang Longting smiled wryly and shook his head: "But after the first battle, Brother Cheng Xian's old injury recurred, and I was not able to save his life, sometimes. I also want to ask your Majesty for some more rewards, but compared with my dead brother Cheng Xian, I have already received enough."

Yang Longting talked about his past with Cheng Dalei, sometimes with impassioned enthusiasm, and sometimes with admiration, saying how Cheng Dalei was clever, how resourceful, how suave, and was both civil and military.

When all the scholars heard this, they couldn't help but feel yearning for Cheng Dalei.

Liu Aji leaned over beside Emperor Ming: "Your Majesty, I also remembered that last year, a refugee from Youzhou mentioned Cheng Dalei's name, and I made a special trip to inquire about it. At that time, the King of Youzhou told me that Cheng Dalei died of an old injury."

"Oh, it's a pity." Emperor Ming also remembered a little at this time.
