Chapter 32: Counterattack the Capital
But in just one day and one night, this once glorious palace was in ruin.
In fact, the entire palace didn't cause much damage, except for the Xibian Hall, which was destroyed by fire. Inside the main hall, the ancient and calm home furnishings and the exquisite decorations inlaid with gold and jade are as before.
This dazzling sense of ruin is because of the black armor soldiers who keep coming and going inside, with murderous faces on their faces, their armor, knives and guns are dazzling blood, and even more because of the man sitting on the throne of the main hall. The gloomy complexion is like heavy clouds, waiting anytime to turn into a storm and rain.
In such a repressive atmosphere, all the palace servants in the hall shrank like quail, wishing to minimize their sense of existence. Three palace people have been dragged out and hacked to death on the pretext that the tea is too hot or too cold.
In the entire hall, the only person who still has the courage and is qualified to speak, may only be the fat man in the northeast corner.
Qin Xun's flexible eyes swept across the black armored soldiers passing by in the hall, with a flattering smile on his face, but he did not dare to speak. Until two soldiers hurried in.
"His Royal Highness, I caught the daughter of Huo Family."
A word like a stone thrown into the pool finally broke the gloom of the whole hall.
Caught! What a waste of beauty! Thinking of the smooth touch and beautiful appearance, Qin Xun secretly smacked his tongue, but thinking of the back of his head that was still aching to this day, and felt that this fate made this dead girl not cheap. Humph, you deserve it!
Hearing the news that Huo Youjuan had been caught, Qin Jian's deathly gloomy face finally opened a gap. He stood up violently, and immediately shouted, "Bring you."
Pushed by five or six soldiers in black, a slim and beautiful "girl" was quickly pushed into the hall.
Scanning the girl's face, Qin Jian's original fierce and excited expression instantly stiffened, and Qin Xun's dark and contradictory expression beside him also froze.
this is……
Qin Xun was shocked at first, then his eyes widened. This face, "Sister Thirteenth Emperor, why are you here?"
Wait, that's not right, because the thirteenth emperor sister stayed in the palace because of the wind and cold, she didn't come out. Then this one is...
"Ninth Brother! You...what's your situation?" Qin Xun almost stared out after finally recognizing the person in front of him.
These days I have a lot of contact with this fat man, no wonder he can recognize himself. Qin Nuo was helpless. He looked at Qin Jian's face carefully, and said with a smile: "Brother San, Brother Seven, I didn't want to. I slept well last night, when suddenly a group of soldiers rushed in, shouting, screaming and killing. Hack people."
"I was so frightened that I ran out, and when I accidentally fell into the pool and soiled my clothes, I could only find one to put on. I looked around and found nothing suitable, so I could only wear this general. "While speaking, Qin Nuo lifted the skirt, and the cloth embroidered with golden thread and vine grass shined under the pearl light, which was extremely dazzling.
Qin Nuo was full of sorrow, "I don't know where to hide. I was suddenly caught by a group of people and yelled, "I finally found you!" I didn't expect to see the two brothers."
It's a silly blessing for a silly person. Wearing such clothes and having such a face, this idiot was caught by the group of soldiers after a day and a night. Qin Xun tut, turned his head and quietly looked at Qin Jian's expression.
Pretending to be a fool is Qin Nuo's specialty. After he came to this world, he didn't have any other skills, only his acting skills became more refined. But whether he can survive this catastrophe safely depends not only on his acting skills, but also on the other party's mood.
Qin Jian's face can only be reminiscent of a volcano that is about to erupt, it is as dark as the bottom of a pot, and at the same time the eyebrows twitch, Qin Nuo is worried that he will die of a heart attack.
Fortunately, in the end, Qin Jian still didn't do anything too frantic, perhaps because he still had extravagant hopes for that supreme position and didn't want to leave the notoriety of killing his brother for no reason.
"Come here, take him to the back hall." In the end, Qin Jian spit out such a sentence from his teeth.
Qin Nuo breathed a sigh of relief, still showing a flustered expression on his face, looking at Qin Xun helplessly.
Qin Xun did not take his gaze, looking down at the floor.
Soon soldiers came in and pushed Qin Nuo down.
Entering the apse, this was originally the place where the palace dwellers lived. There are not a few eunuchs in the Qiming Palace who died. Now the rows of rooms here are temporarily converted into prison cells. Of course, all of them are held inside. They are all the clan nobles who accompanied the holy car in the hot spring palace. Qin Nuo glanced over, and soon saw the silhouettes of several brothers, as well as the esteemed old prince who was usually respected by Reid, and even the princess consort, all being held here.
This trip was the first time that the new emperor came to the hot spring palace after he was enthroned. Therefore, the nobles and nobles of the clan enthusiastically followed to show their sincere follow to the new emperor, but now they have been accepted by Qin Jian.
There are nearly a hundred rooms, and there are crying sounds from time to time. Qin Nuo could only be fortunate that in order to avoid them being confused, the rooms were closed and the outside situation could not be seen. Otherwise, if he came in like this, he would really be unable to live in Beijing in the future.
The soldiers arbitrarily pushed Qin Nuo into a small room at the east end, locked the door, and turned to leave.
Although imprisoned, Qin Nuo slackened. It seemed to be a room of a lower palace, with two wooden beds and a few cages, but the floor was quite clean.
Qin Nuo simply picked a bed and went to it.
Although he hadn't closed his eyes for a day and a night, Qin Nuo was not drowsy. He was worried about Huo Youjuan in the cave. He didn't know if he had escaped the search, and the previous rebel soldiers were talking about the big changes in the capital tonight. There will be spies to help them open the gates and attack the city.
Qin Nuo is not optimistic about Qin Jian's path of rebellion, especially when he thinks that Huo Youjuan pointed out that they were abandoned.
Combining the two, I am afraid that the Queen Mother Huo and Qin Cong had already received the secret report and fled the palace.
Even more likely, they knew that Qin Jian was going to rebel, so they deliberately attracted him here and gave him a chance to get rid of Qin Jian and the Guo family in one fell swoop.
If this is the case, Qin Nuo is full of cold, thinking of the bizarre deaths of three consecutive historians during the time of the Imperial Academy, and slaps Qin Jian brightly. Is this all part of the plan of Queen Mother Huo, deliberately stimulating Qin Jian, force him to jump the wall as soon as possible! There is even Huo Youjuan, the repetition of marriages and the news of the imperial concubine.
In this way, Qin Jian's rebellion must end in failure, so what would he do under his madness? Now almost all the clan families in Beijing are here!
He fled, but left all the clan to a lunatic! If this is really the conspiracy of Qin Cong and Queen Mother Huo, they are cold-tempered, I am afraid they are better than Qin Jian.
He couldn't stay here anymore. When the dream of rebelling against the emperor was dispelled, Qin Jian might do something crazy and must escape as soon as possible.
Qin Nuo leaned close to the door and checked the chains carefully. The door of the palace was simple and crude. Qin Nuo pulled out a hairpin and tried to move the lock.
After poking around for a long time, he really found the law. The door lock has similar connotations from ancient times to the present. It's just that there are soldiers patrolling outside the door, and he dare not move too much. Fortunately, the location of this room is remote. What method should be used to lead the soldiers away? Qin Nuo was thinking about it, but it changed again.
Suddenly, a group of soldiers rushed into the yard, and the leader shouted loudly: "Immediately drag out this, this, and the people in this room!"
As his fingers passed one by one, the doors of several rooms were opened, and dozens of figures in jinyiyu belts were dragged out rudely and gathered into the yard.
The timid could not help screaming in shock, but the soldier slammed his head and back with the back of a knife, "Stop arguing! Now is the time for you to show loyalty to the emperor!"
Qin Nuo was also one of them. He was dragged into the middle of the yard. He scanned his eyes and found that the selected ones seemed to be his own brothers, as well as several respectable old princes in the clan.
Suppressing the panic of the crowd, the leading black-armored soldier turned his head and asked the fat man beside him: "Seven princes, did you choose the wrong one?"
Qin Xun, who followed the black armored soldier, nodded and bowed, "Yes, yes, yes." He wiped his cold sweat.
"Qin Xun, what's the matter with you? Have you gotten along with these people?" A gray-haired old prince immediately discovered that Qin Xun's position was different from that of the others.
The black-armored soldier sneered: "Seventh princes abandoned the dark and cast the light. Naturally, they are different from you."
Next to him, Qin Xun's complexion turned red, but he dared not say anything.
The old prince jumped his feet with anger: "Dog thief, the emperor treats you very well, how can you cling to the rebels who are treason and chaos."
A trace of hatred flashed in Qin Xun's eyes. These old immortal gangs have the ability to attack Qin Jian. What kind of ability to attack someone who is involuntary!
The old prince was full of anger and continued to swear, suddenly a cold voice came from behind him.
"Who do you say is the rebel?"
The old prince screamed and turned his head. Before he could see the faces of the people behind him clearly, only a cold white light flashed.
The angry head of the old prince left his body and Gurulu rolled to the ground.
The sword-bearer was a young black captain with extremely cold eyes. He sneered and didn't say much. He only scanned the many clan families in the venue and asked, "Who else wants to talk?"
There was silence in the courtyard. Qin Nuo looked at the black-clothed general who lifted the knife in his hand, and at the corpse that collapsed to the ground. A coolness filled my heart.
If he remembers correctly, Wang An is Emperor Jingyao’s own brother, and he has no hope of inheriting the throne from the court lady, so he is not involved in the previous Four Kings chaos. After Emperor Jingyao became the throne, in order to show his family love, The few remaining brothers are quite favored and generously rewarded. This old prince had a safe and wealthy life, but he did not expect to die at this time.
After a short silence, there were screams and fierce crying from many rooms. It was Wang An's relatives and nephews who were grieving. Although being held here, everyone really never thought that Qin Jian would start killing the clan, because he wanted to ascend the throne, and the clan's support was absolutely indispensable. The death of King An apparently detonated everyone's emotions. It was naked, naked fear, and the fear of wealth and life tied to one's joy and anger.
It seems that the situation of the Rebellion Army is not so good! Qin Nuo tried his best to suppress his sense of existence. Could it be that something happened in the capital.
His guess is correct. In the main hall of Qiming Palace, Qin Jian is walking back and forth like a beast trapped in an iron cage.
The gangster who had originally agreed to open the North City Gate tonight did not see the signal. The eight thousand elite soldiers he sent were still stuck on the road. The army of the eastern camp who came to support them disappeared. Why?
This time the rebellion was not smooth from the beginning. It was easier to capture the hot spring palace than I thought, but the enchantress Qin Cong and Queen Mother Huo disappeared. He led the people clearly to besiege the Dongli Temple, wanting to take the enchantress down, and smash the bitch with the little bitch who broke his faith and broke the marriage contract, and poured out his sorrow and hatred over the years However, there was a sudden fire in Dongli Hall. It was Qin Cong and Queen Mother Huo who killed themselves in flames?
After the fire was extinguished, he sent people to search it, and dozens of corpses could not be identified for Qin Cong and Queen Mother Huo. He began to notice that the situation was not good, and the little bitch did the same. According to the maid's confession, he should be still in the palace, but he couldn't find anyone.
Don't worry, these are trivial things. As long as he can counterattack the capital and return to the palace, now the clan is in his hands, life and death are nothing more than a word, when he will ascend to the throne, who dares to respond. Just capture the capital immediately!
Qin Jian tried his best to comfort himself.
Finally, the soldiers rushed in. "Report to the prince, that the clan with the army is ready. Now that the three armies are ready, we are waiting for the prince to give an order to go to the capital."
Qin Jian reluctantly calmed down and smiled: "You did a good job. Bring them to the front of the army. Today, I will take all my brothers to counterattack the capital together, set things right, clear the Huo Family, these evil and traitorous nephews, and let me be big Zhou Tianxia is back to Zhengshuo!"
