Chapter 61
Wei Chifeng returned from the palace, and found something was wrong halfway.
First, saw Jin Yiwei mobilizing to the palace.
He was originally the governor of Jinyiwei, and he immediately saw that this sudden manpower mobilization might be related to the emperor's safety.
What shocked him even more was that before the curfew time, the personnel of the Wucheng Bingma Division were already on the move.
In those areas of Jingdu far away from the imperial palace, the soldiers and horses of the five cities are already enforcing a curfew, asking the people not to go out if there is nothing to do.
Wei Chifeng walked all the way to the corner of the roof, looked at the mobilization of Jingdu's soldiers and horses, the more he watched, the more frightened he became, and he rushed towards the Xuanzhai.
At another moment, he realized some possible crisis, and without a moment's hesitation, he issued the token that Emperor Tianxi had given him to call the Jinyiwei Empress Office.
Han Gongfu.
It was past dinner time, but the men of the Han family did not eat. Master Han, Young Master Han and son-in-law Han Yan were still discussing matters in the study.
Han Eldest Young Lady stopped outside the study in the middle of the garden lake in Han Gongfu with a food box.
A guard blocked her way.
She is the eldest daughter of the Han family, and even though she is married, she called her son-in-law into the mansion, so she still lives at home.
His husband is Wen Yan, a member of the Inner Pavilion and Minister of Rites.
Now the external relations of the Han family are maintained by Wen Yan. She is in charge of internal affairs at home, but was blocked by a guard. She immediately raised her hand with a cold face, slapped the guard and said, "You dare to block Miss Ben's way!"
The guard was stunned by the always gentle Han Eldest Young Lady, and the other guards were also stunned, because no one stopped her.
Han Eldest Young Lady pushed the door straight and entered.
Inside the study.
Master Han is arguing fiercely with Wen Yan.
Wen Yan persuaded: "Master Yuezhang! Now that the Jiang and Xiao families have collapsed, it is time to cleanse the court and relinquish power. We are now working for the Xiao family, which is to seek skin from a tiger!"
Mr. Han blew his beard and said: "What do you know! A Xiao family that is about to collapse is not worth our Han family to help with all our belongings! What we did has another owner. If we win tonight, the Han family will have a lot of money."With the achievements of Conglong, the glory of the Han family will be continued for at least a hundred years!"
Young Master Han couldn't wait to say: "My father said yes! As long as I make contributions to this important event, I can also find a good job. Why should I look at you with a foreign surname in everything in the future!"
"Conglong Zhigong?" Wen Yan's face turned blue, "Where is there a prince in Jingdu now? There is no suspense about the only remaining king of Qin entering the East Palace. King Qin has his own people, so where is it our turn to be his follower?"Minister of the Dragon? Lord Yuezhang, which 'dragon' are you talking about?"
Master Han said inscrutablely: "You don't care about this matter!"
Wen Yan was very angry: "Once the matter of fighting for the reserve fails, the whole family will be punished, and no one can stay out of it. Master Yue Zhang and brother-in-law don't be confused!"
Master Han was unmoved, and said coldly: "This is a top secret matter. In short, you and I are a son-in-law, not a father and son, but better than a father and son. Being a father will never harm you."
Wen Yan: "Your Majesty is in the prime of life now, and you can't take it easy. The Inner Pavilion has dealt with Your Majesty several times recently, but it has failed. Your Majesty is definitely not someone who can be betrayed and manipulated. Father-in-law——"
The two were arguing fiercely, and Eldest Young Lady Han pushed the door open and came in: "Father, this matter is too risky. It's too late for our Han family to hide our strength and bide our time, so why go to the cusp of the storm again? The big tree attracts the wind, father let it go."
Master Han once told the guards to stop Eldest Young Lady.Unexpectedly, she was still in.
Mr. Han laughed sarcastically: "daughters and dead fish are no keeping wares, sure enough, when you get married, you turn your elbows out. Are you and your husband-in-law trying to make the head of the Han family all right now?!"
Young Master Han interjected indignantly: "Sister! You don't want to see me! I'm afraid I've done meritorious deeds, and I'll take back the right to be the head of the family!"
"Crack!" Han Eldest Young Lady slapped her younger brother, "You are ignorant and overjoyed. You want to drag the entire Han family into trouble, yet you dare to say that the eldest sister and your brother-in-law have ulterior motives! Do you have any brains!"
Young Master Han was dreaming of being conferred upon him for meritorious service and being crowned a prince, and he was proud of his spring and autumn dreams. When he was slapped by his eldest sister, he immediately exploded, and he rushed over to hit his elder sister.
Wen Yan rushed over in time to protect his wife, and received the slap.
Han Eldest Young Lady was furious, raised her hand and wanted to hit again, shouting: "Sister Eldest is going to wake you up today!"
Just as the commotion was in full swing, another voice sounded outside.
"I think what Han Eldest Young Lady and Wen Ge said is true."
A voice from an outsider suddenly appeared, and they looked out in panic, only to see an extremely beautiful woman leading a young girl coming slowly from the path in the middle of the lake.
The expressions of all the people present changed drastically.
Under the extraordinarily strict security of Duke Han's Mansion today, Chunyu Nanyan and Yan Ling'er were able to enter the land of no one, and no one informed them outside the study.
Chunyu Nanyan was used to being shocked like this by others, she calmly led Yan Ling'er to the door of the study, and looked around at the people present meaningfully.
Master Han and Young Master Han looked cold, Eldest Young Lady Han and Wen Yan first bowed and saluted: "I have seen the Crown Princess and Princess Linger."
Chunyu Nanyan and Yan Xi'er stepped into the study calmly, and only when they stood still did they allow them to excuse themselves.
Master Han and Young Master Han exchanged glances, and Young Master Han was about to send out an order.
"I advise you to stay calm and stay calm." Chunyu Nanyan said in a calm and unhurried manner: "The matter is urgent, and I will be straight to the point. If the Duke of Han's government can stop today's plan in time, I, Chunyu Nanyan, will serve you in the name of the Crown Princess.The safety of the whole family of the Han family is guaranteed."
Han Eldest Young Lady and Wen Yan immediately knelt down.
Master Han still wanted to argue.
Chunyu Nanyan didn't even look at Master Han, she led Yan Ling'er straight to the main seat, sat down Shi Ran, and said: "'Dragon' can be divided into bright dragons and dark dragons. Put the bright and upright dragon in front of you.It is short-sighted to go from a 'dragon' who is indistinguishable between male and female and whose depth is unknown."
Her voice was harsh and powerful, and no one dared to answer her words for a while.
Chunyu Nanyan went on to say: "The present is a generation of British lords who can discern merits and demerits. As long as the Han family keeps their own place, not to mention the safety of the family, even Wen Pavilion's official position can be preserved."
"We didn't do anything! You don't want to slander us!" Master Han said, "You are a princess, destined to be rich and powerful, so naturally you can speak lightly about everything."
"That's right, I am the princess." Chunyu Nanyan said contemptuously, "This palace can represent the attitude of the future prince, and even the attitude of His Majesty today. I am here today to show you a way out.".If you abandon the darkness and turn to the light, the Han family still has a way to survive; if you are stubborn, heh—”
Yan Ling'er, who had been keeping a cold face all the time, slapped the bow and arrow on the table again, and snorted coldly: "Oh, I'm going to kill you and the nine clans of the Han family!"
Master Han and Young Master Han's expressions changed greatly when they heard that, Young Master Han was an uninitiated person, so his legs softened and he knelt down immediately.
Master Han is still hesitating.
Chunyu Nanyan sneered, and said: "That's all for now. It's not easy for the Han family to inherit the family for two hundred years. If you end up with the name of a traitor, your glory will be ruined."
Chunyu Nanyan led Yan Ling'er out of the house.
Passing the zoo on the way, heard a tiger howling.
It turned out that Master Han was curious about how to play, and his family raised a yellow tiger.
Yan Ling'er heard this, and frowned a pair of slender eyebrows: "Sister, is this tiger yelling at this princess?"
This remark had a double meaning, which made Wen Eldest Young Lady, Wen Yan and Wen Young Master who accompanied the guests look embarrassed.
Chunyu Nanyan said meaningfully: "Whoever dares to disrespect the princess, Nanyan will pay with his life."
After hearing this conversation, the Han family was frightened.
When the Han family was thinking about how to explain it, they saw Chunyu Nanyan flying and leading Yan Ling'er to the rockery.Chunyu Nanyan stretched out her hand from behind Yan Ling'er, taught Yan Ling'er to hold a bow, and shot Huang Hu with one arrow.
Huang Hu's screams made the whole Han Gongfu tremble.
After a while, several people from the Duke of Han's mansion ran away quickly, and went to Wucheng Bingmasi to stop them.
Beiyuan Palace.
The more anxious they walked in, they were bumping into Song Yuexiao.
Du Yue hurriedly said: "Commander, Jing has changed! The soldiers and horses of the five cities have sealed off the east, west, north, south, and north gates, and Jin Yiwei has sealed off the Meridian Gate."
Song Yuexiao was not surprised. Her face was frosty. Standing on the high stone steps of the main entrance of the Beiyuan Palace, looking at the quiet street outside, she said to her subordinates: "It is the duty of Jin Yiwei to guard the Meridian Gate. You don't need to worry too much about it."However, the soldiers and horses in the five cities are mixed, and the commander is appointed by the imperial court, but the people below come from different families, so it is inevitable that they have different ideas. Now that the four gates are locked together, it must be the joint efforts of each family. Although the Jiang family is down, the hundred feetThe worm is dead but not stiff, there are always remaining culpable crimes; and the Xiao family has not yet been convicted, and there is still room to mobilize personnel, let alone the Han family and the Lu family. From this point of view, I am afraid that the commanders of the four sects have been controlled.The situation is chaotic."
Song Yuexiao's generals looked solemn when they heard this.
Song Yuexiao got on her horse, held her knife against the wind and said, "Send me an order to order the snow troopers stationed outside the city to enter the city!"
Lieutenant General Shi Yuan's expression changed drastically, Fu Ma reminded: "Commander, this is Jingdu, foreign soldiers are not allowed to enter the city."
Song Yuexiao took out something and said coldly: "This is the Golden Feather Order to pass the customs given by the emperor today. Anyone who holds this order can lead troops into the capital, King Qin!"
The military discipline of the Snow Walking Army is strict, and orders are prohibited.
All the generals flew on their horses and said in unison: "Break the city gate, King Qin!"
Lu Biao was restless in the mansion.
The steward came to report: "My lord! The yamen of the central and western gates of the Wucheng Bingmasi has been controlled by our people, and the gates of the four cities have been closed now, Jingdu Mansion has sealed off all the streets and alleys, and the assassins we sent near the Xuanzhai have also gone."
Lu Biao hurriedly asked, "How is the situation over there?"
The housekeeper said: "Within a radius of three miles from the Xuanzhai, you can only enter and cannot come out, and not a single fly can fly out. I heard that the courtyard is full of blood. All the hidden guards on the periphery of the Beiyuan Palace have been eliminated. Only the inner circle is left.There were not many people there at all, only Xuan Yin and Zi Yuan were fighting in the corner. In this battle, there were dead soldiers from the Jiang family and Xiao Han and Lu's family, no matter how powerful he was,The wheel battle will definitely kill Xuanyin."
"That's good." Lu Biao held an old imperial decree in his hand, "Our move is to obey the late emperor and take care of the late emperor's orphans, not to rebel."
The housekeeper dared not say a word on such an important matter.
Lu Biao is usually a very shrewd person, he weighed and weighed for a long time, and said in a circle: "If we don't do anything, the whole family will be punished and confiscated like the Jiang family. Success or failure depends on one action. If it succeedsEven if you saved the whole clan; if you lose, it's not much less than being questioned."
When Lu Biao said this, he gritted his teeth and said, "Yan Nan is too ruthless! He is ungrateful and dares to deal such a heavy blow to the four surnames. He killed Jiang's Zhengzhi, and even forced his own son to death.If we don’t help ourselves, we will end up in the same way. When our old master Lu was here, Yan Nan begged the Lu family to help him, but now he turns around and refuses to admit anything! We can’t blame us, Yan Nan forced usof!"
Xuanzhai.
Yan Xi has killed the third batch of killers tonight.
The corpses of these people were scattered in every corner by him, the severed heads rolled on the low ground, and the broken limbs hung on the treetops.
Blood dripped all over the place.
Yan Xi's scarlet official uniform was stained with blood, and her hands were also stained with blood.
His face was clean, except for an accidental splash of blood under his ear.
He can't stand other people's taste.
Especially with such dirty blood.
Yan Xi held the knife in his left hand and hung it by his side; with his right hand, he took out a handkerchief from his bosom, put it under the tip of his nose and smelled it, and then wiped away the blood behind his ear.
Then put the handkerchief back into his arms.
Surrounding the wall of the Xuan Zhai, there were men in black standing in a circle.
Among them, the one who was facing Yan Xi, with a yellow belt tied on his hand, had a particularly burly figure, and was obviously the leader of this group of dead men.
Yan Xi glanced around, and there were still twelve people left in this group.
His eyes stopped on the burly leader.
The other party is also watching him.
After two rounds of bloody battles, the two sides reached a temporary silence.
Yan Xi knew that this silence would be very short.These people rushed to feed the knife desperately, just to figure out his way and exhaust his physical strength. As long as he showed a little flaw or had a little physical strength, these people would swarm him and dismember him.As for merit.
"Rong" burned more violently.
Yan Xi didn't feel tired, and even in this bloody experience, he felt some kind of human instinct to conquer as an animal.
He is hyper.
Yan Xi's consciousness became clearer and clearer, and his brain was running faster and faster. He seemed to have returned to the International Mathematical Olympiad he participated in in his third year of high school, and was aiming for a gold medal in the Olympic Mathematical Olympiad.
The more difficult the problem, the more excited he is.
At this time, the other party covered their faces.
With just a glance, Yan Xi can memorize twelve pairs of different eyes, physiques, dominant hands, and main line of sight, and predict the possible shooting directions and attacking routines that these people are good at.
Subtle observation, accurate memory, and strict logical thinking help Yan Xi to effectively lure the opponent to use the usual tricks when fighting.
Yan Xi only needs to go back and forth a few times to find the opponent's weak point, strike out with precision, and kill him with one blow.
Never waste energy.
Yan Xi's belief is extremely firm. He believes that as long as he perseveres for a minute, he will be closer to his reinforcements.
That year's Olympiad gold medal was taken back to his alma mater, and tonight's victory will definitely belong to him.
As long as he lives long enough to ascend the throne, he can go back.
He was a little surprised that the human brain would go away to demonstrate the possibility of the ultimate goal at such a moment of life and death.
His brain was actually taking a breather, trying to figure out how many test sites he still remembered?And to weigh if you go back to the day you died, with only half a month of review time left, will you still be able to get into your ideal university?
He regretted giving up the recommended spot brought to him by the Olympiad gold medal.
If had known it earlier, would not have taken the number one scholar in the college entrance examination for the generous scholarship.
The opponent drew a sword.
Yan Xi's thoughts gathered together, and he jumped to avoid the simultaneous stabs of eleven people, his crimson robe fluctuated between the old eaves and the broken wall.
The other party obviously wanted to force Yan Xi to leave the Xuanzhai, but he kept coming back again and again.
As long as he is in the Xuanzhai, there will be a circle of guards from the Beiyuan Palace's secret guards; once he leaves, Yan Xi will lose all support, and will be coaxed up and cleaned up by the people hiding in the dark.
It is impossible for Yan Xi to leave Xuanzhai.
Yan Xi slowed down slightly.
An overjoyed killer thought he had found a chance, so he rushed to the front.
Yan Xi succeeded in luring the enemy again, he cut the opponent's throat with a knife while leaping forward.
That person fell backwards, Yan Xi made a kick and knocked away the person chasing him with "it".
Liushuang was thrown out when the man was caught off guard, and nailed to the man's chest.
Then Yan Xi heard with satisfaction that two bodies fell down the roof dully.
Yan Xi jumped back to the small courtyard of Xuan Zhai, and drew Liu Shuang loosely.
Without looking back, he quickly calculated the route of the approaching person based on the location he had scanned and memorized just now, and threw a string of tiles from the roof from his sleeve, hitting two pairs of eyes again.
He solved the four people in just a moment.
This kind of shooting efficiency extinguished the opponent's high morale.
The other party had already killed too many people in order to kill him.
At the beginning, the credit that was thought to be at your fingertips has become so difficult to achieve, even if you fight with your life, it is still out of reach.
The remaining seven showed hesitation and fear of fighting, because they realized that what they were facing was not a civil servant lacking the strength to even truss up a chicken, but a devil in a beautiful painted skin.
There was another brief silence between the two sides.
Yan Xi cherished this rare opportunity to breathe, and he returned the knife in his left hand to his right.
The spasm in his right hand became lighter, and his left hand repeated the response of the right hand spasm due to extreme knife use.
"Rong" can solve the problem of strength and improve reaction efficiency, but it cannot break through the physical structure of the human body.Even if "Rong" has no limit, but the bones and muscles have limits.
Yan Xi realized very clearly that his body could not sustain enough to kill all the killers.
Dissatisfied with the situation, the killer leader finally drew his sword.
It was a particularly heavy heavy sword.
The moment Yan Xi turned around and swung the saber, he felt the power of the sword's light and thunder.
Yan Xi instantly understood that the strength of the opponent was above him.
In this flash of lightning, Yan Xi judged that it was impossible to avoid it.
Because he was playing hard all night.This method can deter the opponent's psychology, so that he always has the upper hand in terms of fighting spirit.
If he chooses to evade this time, it will be tantamount to self-defeating. Not only will the routine change, but people will also see the clues.
Liu Shuang made the sound of contention in his most accustomed right hand, Yan Xi had to fight head-to-head, and at the same time deal damage to the opponent while bearing down the opponent's attack.
The scarlet robe didn't back down, and floated up against the strong wind blowing from the leader.
Liu Shuang raised his sword, and when he was about to clash with the opponent's epee, there was a sound of piercing through the air.
A heavy arrow galloped forward and nailed straight into the back of the leader.
The arrow shot out from the chest, and the arrow showed its sharp point, and stopped in front of Yan Xi's eyes.
Yan Xi had seen a young man use an arrow five years ago, he had seen the same arrow, and he lost a lock of hair because of that look.
Later, his palace servants went back to look for that strand of hair for him, but they couldn't find it anywhere.
Yan Xi always wanted to ask Song Beiming: Did you hide my hair from then on?
Due to the limitation of status, can't ask each other.
At this time, the young man who once wanted to shoot him with an arrow shot out an arrow again, but came to save him.
Yan Xi was slightly distracted thinking, but his Liushuang was still dutifully killing people, Liushuang deftly turned the direction in the air, swept back, and chopped off a part of his arm.
When he turned around again, the leader in front of him had turned into a corpse and fell straight forward.
Yan Xi avoided it in disgust, and let the corpse face down to smash bloody flowers.
He leaned over slightly, and smelled the subtle "dry" fragrance on the arrow feathers.
