Chapter 234 General Sima
The person's appearance gradually became clearer. She was wearing a gray nun's robe made of coarse cloth. She looked old, about forty or fifty years old. She had a calm expression on her face. She held a string of thick Buddhist beads in her hand, and kept counting with both hands while muttering something.
Beitang Yuan looked at the "nun" in complete astonishment. He heard the sound of the world collapsing very clearly. Baili Haoxuan really never allowed anyone to underestimate him...
Baili Haoxuan was satisfied with Beitang Yuan's performance and sneered.
The woman in black asked Beitang Yuan in confusion: "Who is she?" She originally thought it was Sang Yu Hanyan, but she didn't expect it to be a nun. Does this nun have any relationship with Beitang Yuan?
Beitang Yuan was speechless, not knowing where to start. His lips moved, but he couldn't utter a single sound. He had always thought that he had hidden himself well, but it turned out that he could never escape Baili Haoxuan's control.
"General Beitang, are you still leaving now?" Baili Haoxuan sneered complacently. It turned out that this was the reason why he kept a low profile and started a rebellion.
Beitang Yuan clenched his hands tightly, his knuckles turned white, and the veins on his temples kept throbbing. He held back the anger in his heart. If he opened his mouth, all his previous efforts would be in vain. He had worked so hard for so long, he couldn't give up, not to mention she was still there...
Yes, he can’t recognize it!
Beitang Yuan suddenly suppressed the impulse in his heart, and said calmly: "Of course we have to go. This is not a place we should stay. Beitang Yuan appreciates the emperor's kindness. Let's go." After making a gesture of invitation, Beitang Yuan pulled the woman in black beside him and pretended to leave.
Just one step, just one step, he can't give up, he can't!!!
"Then just assume that I have seen it wrong. It turns out that General Beitang is such an unfeeling and ungrateful person. If the general can ignore the life and death of the person next to me, he can just leave. I will never stop you." Baili Haoxuan said sarcastically, every word was like a needle, and every word hit the key point, implicitly mocking Beitang Yuan.
Beitang Yuan felt like a needle stabbing, a knife cutting, or an arrow piercing his heart. Baili Haoxuan's words were like a tearing wound to his heart. He struggled and suffered in his heart, holding the hand of the woman in black tightly again and again. The woman in black knew his patience. He dragged his lead-filled feet, and walked step by step, extremely slowly and heavily.
The nun was just counting her Buddhist beads and chanting Buddhist scriptures, looking indifferent, as if nothing in the outside world caught her attention, let alone her heart.
Baili Haoxuan watched coldly as Beitang Yuan walked with unusually heavy and dragging steps, not clean and neat at all. Baili Haoxuan knew how important this person was to Beitang Yuan.
Yan Zinuo glanced at Baili Haoxuan and got Baili Haoxuan's signal.
He raised his voice and said slowly, "He is known as 'General Baisheng'. He was the most capable general during the reign of the late emperor."
When she heard these four words, the nun next to Baili Haoxuan paused slightly while counting the Buddhist beads, but quickly recovered and acted as if nothing had happened again.
Beitang Yuan stopped moving forward, turned his back to Baili Haoxuan and lowered his head.
"Why don't you leave?" the woman in black asked curiously.
Yan Zinuo then said, "Eighteen years ago, the Sima family was a prosperous family. They were powerful and influential. The Sima family swore allegiance to the Xuanhuang Dynasty and had the absolute trust of the late emperor. However, in the same year, they were convicted of treason for colluding with the enemy country, and all the more than 140 people in the Sima family were executed."
This secret has not been mentioned by the people of Xuanhuang for many years, because it is a shame for the people of Xuanhuang Dynasty!
Although at that time, Cangming Kingdom had always been the largest country on Cangyue Continent, Cangming Kingdom had the power to erode and annex any country on Cangyue Continent.
Xuanhuang Dynasty was no exception and caught the attention of Cangming Kingdom, which was the first to attack Xuanhuang Dynasty. It continued to attack Xuanhuang Dynasty, and the then King Xuanhuang sent troops to fight back.
Because, all the countries have been equally powerful, and there has never been a war, because no one has the ability to take down other countries. They are all gathering strength, and Cangming has greatly increased its national strength after the previous Cangming King worked hard to govern.
By the way, the generation of King Cangming is already the first in military strength and national power in Cangyue Continent. How could King Cangming be satisfied with just being the ruler of a country? He wants to be the ruler of the world.
So, he began to realize his ambition step by step. The first target was Xuanhuang Dynasty. Xuanhuang Dynasty, who had never encountered actual combat, felt that there were no great generals in the court.
However, King Xuanhuang had a keen eye and chose him to go on the expedition.
At that time, the court was not optimistic, but there was no other way. He had been away for more than a month, and suffered losses every time because Xuanhuang's military strength was far inferior to Cangming.
However, he never gave up. Facing the 200,000-strong army of Cangming, he led 80,000 troops and took a different approach, not following the rules, and launched a surprise attack on the Cangming army.
It was a classic battle, a classic battle where the few defeated the many. He was indeed a talented general, with his iron-blooded style and novel military strategy. Soon, the title of "General of Hundred Victories" resounded throughout the Cangyue Continent.
The Cangming Kingdom no longer dared to bully the Xuanhuang Dynasty at will. The Xuanhuang Dynasty had many opportunities to recuperate.
When he returned from a great victory, King Xuanhuang was overjoyed and promoted him to a higher position, rewarded him with thousands of acres of fertile land, and even more gold, silver and jewelry.
However, he declined the rewards from King Xuanhuang, because he was grateful to King Xuanhuang for his insight, which made him famous. He was willing to repay King Xuanhuang's kindness.
Therefore, King Xuanhuang trusted him even more.
However, the good times did not last long. When an anonymous letter of denunciation was presented to King Xuanhuang, everything changed. No monarch would allow anyone to betray the country. Although King Xuanhuang was willing to believe that Sima was not such a person, he could not let go of any possibility.
Therefore, King Xuanhuang ordered people to thoroughly investigate the incident.
But the result was disappointing. He actually betrayed the country. Because King Xuanhuang trusted Sima and gave the map of the army to the enemy. With both witnesses and material evidence, King Xuanhuang was furious and sentenced the entire Sima family to death.
Yan Zinuo told the secrets of the past. The two people present were emotionally unstable. Hearing these things was absolutely tormenting for them.
Beitang Yuan's feet seemed to have taken root and he could not move even a step. He endured it tightly and let Yan Zinuo's words float into his ears one by one.
When Yan Zinuo wanted to continue speaking, he was suddenly interrupted by someone.
"Enough! Stop talking." No matter how calm she was, she couldn't listen any more.
Beitang Yuan followed the source of the sound, turned around and looked back, staring at the woman who interrupted Yan Zinuo. His eyes had an extremely complicated look.
"Oh? Master, why is this?" Baili Haoxuan said with interest, but his blue eyes were directed towards Beitang Yuan.
"The donor is dead. Why mention it again?" The nun resumed her calm and pure voice, like the words of the Buddha.
However, Baili Haoxuan knew it was not the case.
"Don't you feel it's a pity, Master? Such a talented general ended up like this. I feel sorry for him as well." Baili Haoxuan had a slight smile on his face, and his blue eyes gleamed with calculation.
The nun lowered her head silently and continued to count the Buddhist beads in her hand and recite the Buddhist scriptures, but if you look closely, you can find that her hands are shaking a little panickily as she counts the beads, and the speed at which she recites the Buddhist scriptures has also increased a lot.
She was in a state of emotional turmoil.
"I'm afraid that the nun has been worshipping Buddha in the temple for many years and doesn't know anything about the mundane world..." Baili Haoxuan pressed forward step by step. He ignored Beitang Yuan and turned to press the nun.
"Zinuo, it seems that you haven't explained it in detail enough. The nun still doesn't understand how powerful a person he is." Baili Haoxuan signaled Yan Zinuo to continue.
"Yes..." Yan Zinuo was interrupted just as he opened his mouth.
"Enough! What do you want?" This time it was not the nun who interrupted Yan Zinuo, but Beitang Yuan who had been standing still.
Beitang Yuan walked up to Baili Haoxuan with a fierce look in his eyes, looking at Baili Haoxuan with red eyes as sharp as a sword.
"What I want to do, does it have anything to do with you, General Beitang?" Baili Haoxuan emphasized the word "Beitang".
"You!" Beitang Yuan was speechless.
"Is it the duty of a king to embarrass a nun here?" The black-clothed woman next to Beitang Yuan couldn't help but retorted to Baili Haoxuan with a look of contempt.
"Who is making things difficult for the nun? That person knows it clearly." Baili Haoxuan said meaningfully.
"Zinuo, continue." Baili Haoxuan glanced at Beitang Yuan and sneered.
"..."
"Baili Haoxuan!" Beitang Yuan said fiercely with a slashing look in his eyes.
"General Beitang is really brave. Is it true that a good father will have a good son?" Baili Haoxuan grinned and said meaningfully.
Beitang Yuan clenched his fists tightly and endured it again and again. The pain in his heart was torn apart bit by bit by Baili Haoxuan.
"What? You still don't dare to admit your identity?" The words had already been spoken, and Baili Haoxuan was bored to continue. He wanted to celebrate his victory with that woman tonight.
But, there is no time to waste here with him.
"Don't you know everything?" Beitang Yuan said coldly. He had set up such a big trap, waiting for him to jump step by step. How stupid he was. At this moment, he finally admitted that he had lost, completely and thoroughly...
Baili Haoxuan is indeed a character!
"Know what?" The woman in black was confused and had no idea what was going on between Baili Haoxuan and Beitang Yuan.
"Oh? What do I know? I don't know what I know. How about you, General Beitang, tell me about it? If you don't want to, I think the nun can help me. Don't you think so?" Baili Haoxuan continued to add insult to injury, not giving the enemy any chance to breathe...
