Noble First Daughter-in-law

Chapter 1166 Father and son fight, brothers fight

Even though Liang Shide had fought for many years and was accustomed to seeing life and death, the shock of watching a living person fall to his death in front of him, especially an old friend and confidant who had followed him for many years, was still unparalleled.

He froze on the golden chariot for a long time, unable to breathe or feel his heart beat.

"you--"

He wanted to say something, but his throat seemed to be blocked by something. Lying on the ground, his whole body was covered in blood. Liu Fuyan raised his head with the last bit of strength he had. His desperate, blood-stained eyes stared straight at him. When he opened his mouth, blood gushed out immediately. He took his last breath before he could even form a word.

This old friend who had fought with him in many battles and survived the most difficult situations just died in front of him.

Blood slowly flowed along Liu Fuyan's body, and soon dyed the wheels of the golden chariot red. The strong smell of blood suddenly surrounded the entire golden chariot, as if a sea of ​​blood suddenly rolled up huge waves and rushed towards him, as if it would swallow up the entire Luoyang City in an instant.

In addition to being panicked, Liang Shide suddenly felt a little angry.

"it turns out,"

He grasped the armrests of the golden carriage, his knuckles crackling and his teeth clenching: "He dared--"

Hearing his words, although only in a very low voice, Wei Yu, who was standing beside the golden carriage and was also stunned by the scene, immediately understood and said hurriedly: "Unlucky! How dare you do such a thing on King Xia's golden day!"

His cold and sharp voice was like a gust of cold wind blowing towards him, and it immediately swept away the little panic that Liang Shide had left.

The anger in his heart suddenly swelled infinitely, he glared at the corpse on the ground fiercely, all the companionship and sharing of joys and sorrows in the past turned into resentment at this moment. It was obvious that he was only one step away from the highest power, but Liu Fuyan refused to accompany him. Not only that, he even added a touch of blood to his last step. If this wasn't a curse, what else could it be?
Thinking of this, he no longer had any sympathy or pity for this man, and said coldly: "Drag him away!"

Wei Yu gave an order hastily, and the soldiers around him had to step forward immediately and drag away Liu Fuyan's body, whose eyes were still open. Unfortunately, this body, which was still emitting residual warmth, only left a glaring, blood-red mark on the road.

Soon, the golden carriage continued to move forward and ran over the pool of blood.

The wheels rolled forward, followed closely by the guards and officials behind. They stepped over the pool of blood one by one, leaving behind one bright red mark after another. Only Guan Chiying subconsciously avoided it and sighed as he passed by.

He said: "Can power really make people so...blind and crazy?"

Guan Ao beside him frowned slightly. Hearing this, he lowered his head to look at the glaring red on the ground and said, "Power is the most bewitching thing in the world. For power, fathers and sons killed each other, and brothers fought against each other. Isn't it rare since ancient times?"

"Fathers and sons kill each other, brothers fight each other..."

After hearing these two sentences, for some reason Guan Chiying suddenly felt like a huge rock was pressing down on his heart, making it hard for him to breathe.

Guan Ao's mind didn't seem to be on this. As they got closer and closer to the altar, his breathing became more and more tense. He looked around again, but there was still no sign of anyone in the wilderness. If Yuwen Ye... or even Yuwen Cheng really wanted to attack Luoyang, there would be no sign of them at all.

It seems that they will not come.

But the jade token that Guan Chiying brought back was not fake, and the story of Shang Ruyi being trapped in the enemy camp was probably not fabricated by him. I'm afraid that the war at Hulao Pass has not been settled yet, and Yuwen Ye didn't have time to rush back in such a short time, or -

Is Yuwen Cheng deliberately obstructing it?

Thinking of this, Guan Ao's scalp tingled. After his aunt Guan Yunmu passed away, the Guan family's contacts with the Yuwen family's backyard gradually became less frequent, and Yuwen Cheng didn't have a deep relationship with their family. On the contrary, because he was raised by Aunt Hui, he became closer to Yuwen Qian and the Dong family behind him.

In addition, this kid has always been overconfident and has a bad relationship with Yuwen Ye. If they really confront each other, wouldn’t all the big things in Luoyang be ruined?

If this is true——

Guan Ao looked back at the Luoyang City Tower, which was shining brightly under the rising sun and was made even more brilliant by the fiery red silk. According to the information Guan Chiying had found out, Liang Shide had already decided to destroy this place after today.

In other words, he succeeded today, but they would have no future.

Guan Ao's face gradually darkened. Even though he was walking forward with the large group of people, the sunlight was so bright that it was difficult for the people around him to open their eyes. However, there was not a trace of light in his eyes. Instead, there was a solemnity and depth that not even the sunlight could penetrate.

Finally, the golden chariot arrived in front of the altar and the entire team stopped.

They were immediately divided into two groups, civil and military, and lined up in the open space below the altar. Because they were the first to present congratulations and were the ones Liang Shide valued the most, Guan Ao and Guan Chiying, the famous and prominent families in Luoyang City, stood at the forefront of the team of civil officials. Following closely behind them were officials from several other families. After leaving the city, these people patrolled the surroundings anxiously. It was almost the auspicious time, but there was still no sign of Yuwen Ye leading his troops as promised by the officials, and even Yuwen Cheng was nowhere to be seen.

One of them couldn't help but quietly approach Guanao and asked, "Zhiyan, what's going on?"

"..."

"You guys, are you kidding us?" Hearing this, Guan Chiying also became anxious and said hurriedly: "I didn't. Before I came back, I really did-"

He was interrupted before he could finish his words. Several other officials who had submitted congratulatory memorials and were filled with regret whispered, "We submitted congratulatory memorials with you because your family promised us to do so. Otherwise, who would do such a thing? It is simply a disgrace to the family!"

"That's right. If things don't work out today, it's all your fault!"

"Zhi Yan, you are the head of the Guan family and the leader this time, so you should have an attitude!"

Seeing them getting more and more angry, some of them even didn't care to hide it. Even the guards standing in line around them gradually noticed that something was wrong here and looked over. But because they were a little far away, they couldn't hear what they said clearly. Only someone shouted loudly: "Don't talk!"

Everyone looked at the sharp swords in the hands of the guards and did not dare to act rashly for a moment.

But Guanao was silent.

Guan Chiying knew that his elder brother had always been the pillar of the family, not only because he inherited the official position, but also because of his exceptionally firm character. So when Liang Shide captured Luoyang and killed people without a trace, he was not afraid at all, and refused to kneel down and surrender. This time, he reluctantly believed himself because he brought back Guan Yunmu's jade token and the promise of the Princess of Qin.

For him, surrendering to Liang Shide and congratulating him was a great shame and humiliation for a civil servant, and he should be the one who regrets the most now.

How come there is no sound at all?

Guan Chiying was sweating profusely, but seeing Guan Ao's pale face, which was not only bloodless but also seemed to have lost its temperature, he felt even more uneasy. While no one was paying attention, he carefully said, "Brother, you——"

Guan Ao said calmly: "No need to say more."

"...?"

Guan Chiying looked at him in surprise, only to see Guan Ao standing there calmly with his hands clasped. His right hand slowly moved up along the base of his left hand and stroked his arm. Guan Chiying then realized that although his robe was loose, his arm seemed much stronger than usual, especially when his right hand was holding it tightly, it didn't seem like he was holding his own arm, but rather like he was holding a... sharp blade.

Guan Chiying suddenly seemed to understand something, and his eyes widened suddenly: "Brother!?"

Guan Ao said coldly: "I have already made such preparations."

"..."

"No matter whether the news you brought back is true or false, no matter whether Yuwen Ye can come today or not, if this cannot be accomplished, I can only use my blood to wash away this shame!"

"...!"

At this moment, Guan Chiying's breathing was suffocated.

Just when his mind was blank and he couldn't even think of what words to use to stop Guanao, or - he knew that at this point in the matter, no one could stop Guanao. At this moment, a drumbeat suddenly sounded in front of him.

Everyone looked up and saw Liang Shide slowly walking down from the golden chariot. A straight corridor under his feet passed through the array of civil and military officials on both sides and led directly to the three-story altar. There were more than a dozen guards lined up to guard each level of the altar. The fighting was strict and the order was in good order.

At this moment, flames were already burning in the bronze cauldron at the top of the altar, and three bottles of sake were placed on the altar.
Seeing this scene, Liang Shide nodded with satisfaction, then walked towards the altar step by step on the thick soft carpet on the ground.

In an instant, he had reached the front row of these civil and military ministers, which was the place closest to Guanao and the others.

One more step and you will reach the altar.

At the same time, Guan Ao's right hand had quietly reached into the sleeve of his left hand. A sharp dagger was tied to his arm, and it had been stirring in his sleeve all morning, as if it wanted to drink blood.

At this moment, at this very moment——

Just as Guan Ao was about to draw his sword, Liang Shide suddenly stopped in front of him and said, "Sacrifice, are you ready?"

Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned, and they realized that there were only three bottles of sake on the altar at the top, but no sacrifice.

But Wei Yu immediately stepped forward and said with a flattering smile: "It's been prepared for a long time."

After saying this, he glanced towards Guan Chiying and the others intentionally or unintentionally.

At this moment, Guan Chiying suddenly felt a little uneasy in his heart, but before he could even form a thought, he heard Liang Shide say, "Then present it!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the guards around him suddenly rushed forward and arrested Guan Ao and Guan Chiying!
Before the two of them could even struggle, they were pinned to the ground, and the other officials standing with them had swords drawn from their sheaths put to their necks. None of them dared to move!
