Chapter 101: A Short Dream (Thanks to Zhou Tian Dayan for 2 Monthly Tickets)
The clouds drifted in, shrouding Chu Zhongtang, and in an instant, even in the hall where the lights were lit, the light couldn't help but dim a little more.
Ling Yin, who was sitting at the top, never spoke, with an elegant face, hidden in light and shadow, either bright or dark, a pair of big hands that had been ruling Dachu for nearly twenty years, tightly clenched into fists, with clear bones and a layer of blue light.
Although Mrs. Wang and Ruo Aoxue entered the palace to accompany Mi Huang, when they thought of someone taking advantage of the princess's absence, they repeatedly assassinated her, and then thought about the 50,000 people taken away by their own sister-in-law......
is even more apprehensive and uncertain.
As the patriarch of the Ruo Ao clan, Ling Yin Zi has already seen the turbulent torrent hidden under the calm river on the surface, and the big ship he is holding is now the most critical moment.
If you can't quickly take the helm of the ship when the big waves come, the ship will be destroyed and people will die.
He must remain calm now.
Take charge of the big picture.
Ling Yin Ziban didn't say anything more, just looked at the housekeeper under the hall with heavy eyes, and asked loudly: "Eldest son, when will you come back?!"
"This ...... The old slave doesn't know ......"
The housekeepers of the second room and the big room bowed their heads and replied in unison.
Hearing this, Ling Yin Zi said again, "Then send someone to Ling Yin to guard the entrances and exits of the palace and the palace gate! ”
"No one needs to leave Chu Zhongtang until he gives us all an explanation. ”
"Yes, my lord, we'll send someone now. ”
The two housekeepers ran out in a panic and asked people to hurry up and go to the palace gate to guard, and everyone hurriedly ordered someone to help Ruo Ao Tan and Ruo Ao Zi Yong, and the other clansmen looked at each other and did not dare to make a sound.
The whole lobby was filled with a sentence like Ling Yinzi.
No one dared to move again.
Don't dare to let out a pant.
……
Ruo Ao Tan was still a little confused, and opened his mouth to ask again, "Why are you looking for Jiao'er?"
Ruo Aoziyong, who was sitting next to him, pulled his sleeve and whispered, "Clan Elder, don't say anything more now...... Let's wait for Lord Yin to decide! Then look at the nose, look at the heart, and sit in the position.
Ruo Ao Tan cautiously looked at Ling Yinzi's iron-blue face, and under his momentum, he stopped talking and said no more.
Zhao and Lu glanced at each other.
One looked panicked, leaned back into his seat leisurely, ordered the maid behind him to pluck the yellow and clear orange for her, bit a piece in his mouth, and looked at her with a mocking smile: Third brother and sister, where did the courage to sue just now go.
Zhao was unwilling, so he also picked up a piece of orange and ate it calmly, and snorted coldly in return: Sister-in-law, it's better to take care of your big house first, and then talk about it, Mo finally lost all the big house and couldn't solve this matter.
……
Zhou Jinghua, who was sitting at the bottom, listened quietly with a sneer on the corner of her mouth from beginning to end, there was no room for her junior or the clan wife to speak in this class.
But at this moment, she can see it clearly.
This is the clansman of the Ruoao clan, Yue Jiao's crime, the king has not yet been decided, but their relatives have to raise the butcher's knife to shout and kill him.
If Ao Yuejiao has not come back from the palace, Ling Yin Zi ordered to rectify the entire Blue Wolf Pavilion, if Ao Ziliang did not dare to disobey, a group of Ruo Ao clan's generals staggered swords, smashed a mansion and rushed to the Blue Wolf Pavilion peacefully.
In the Blue Wolf Pavilion, there was a sudden panic.
Everyone was dragged out by Ruo Ao's generals, even the maids and slaves brought from the Zhou family, and the entourage around Yue Jiao were all tied up, and there were still people rummaging around.
"The maid kneels to the left, and the servant knees to the right!"
All the servant girls were so frightened that they knelt on the ground and did not dare to make a sound, or let out meaningless shouts for mercy, but everywhere there were arresting Ruo Ao's generals.
"Miss!"
"Where's the young lady!"
"What is this going to do?"
"Butler...... We didn't do anything, why arrest us?......"
This scene is like seeing the day when Zhou's house was raided, there were arrests everywhere, people everywhere called for help and begged for mercy, and on the day last year, she was wearing a gorgeous wedding dress, but all her relatives were taken off their crowns, pulled out, and beheaded three days later......
Today, that is happening again.
At this time, Zhou Jinghua did not have a trace of fear, and looked at it calmly, watching the blood flow into a river and flow outside the hall, but the smile on her lips became colder and colder.
Xiao Jiang leaned close to her, grabbed her hand, and said in fear, "Miss...... Uncle's okay, right?"
She trembled slightly, and watched from a distance as the sisters of the Blue Wolf Pavilion and their acquaintances were pulled into the square in front of Chu Zhongtang, kneeling in a long row, with the cold blade resting on their necks.
This is to put them to death, the slaves.
He was punished on behalf of his master.
Soon, a river of blood dyed in front of Chu Zhongtang, slowly flowing into the blue bricks, leaving a deeper blood, and the heavy smell of blood blew into the hall with the cold autumn wind, making all the female relatives present tremble with fright, and the young children were left in the hall to watch the punishment even if they were afraid, as a warning.
"Lord Ling Yin, if my Ao clan is the first clan of Great Chu, but now because of a small homeless case, everyone is in danger, falling apart, attacking each other, using the lives of these innocent house slaves in my Cangwolf Pavilion to calm the anger of all uncles and aunts, and I want to use the life of my husband and Jun to calm the rumors of the common people outside. ”
"Is this the pride that our first clan of Great Chu should have in three hundred years?"
Zhou Jinghua suddenly stood up.
In this Chu Zhong Hall, there was no place for her to speak, but she lifted her skirt and walked into the middle of the hall, looking at all the Ruoao clan people in the hall one by one, and finally settled on Ling Yinzi, like a delicate flower, standing in the hall.
asked everyone of the Ruo Ao clan one by one, "Although Jinghua was not a member of the Ruo Ao clan in life, but when she died, she remembered the pride of the Ruo Ao clan, which was different from my father's noble bloodline from his Zhou Wang Sun, but because of the six Ruo Ao soldiers who will always stand behind us, the five-tailed golden phoenix banner that was planted on the head of the entire Yingdu City together with the King Black Phoenix Banner. ”
"Within the state of Chu, we are the undefeated blades. ”
"Why are we afraid of the dissatisfaction of other clans, and why are we afraid of the rumors of the common people?"
The sky was covered with thick clouds, and suddenly a thunderbolt appeared.
A thunderous "boom" smashed on the hall, and as Zhou Jinghua's words fell in the hall, all the clansmen were like lightning strikes and stood frozen on the spot.
After the thunder, there was a deathly silence in the temple.
……
The wind suddenly rose, the thunderbolt was shocked, tearing the clouds in the sky, and the raindrops of beans suddenly fell from the sky, crackling, falling from the head, and there was no intact place between the heavens and the earth.
The sudden torrential rain poured down after the scorching sun of the day, shrouding the entire Yingdu City in a dim darkness that did not distinguish day and night.
But no one cared about the howling rain, and no one cared about the thunder and explosions.
The wind and rain thundered and thundered, all drowned out by the sound of joy throughout the city.
Mrs. Zhao ordered people to put the wedding cake shop celebrated by the Cheng family on the street in the heavy rain, and the people braved the heavy rain to line up in a long line to lead the wedding cake, with a happy face, like a New Year's Festival.
Outside the carriage it was pouring rain.
In the rickety carriage, Mrs. Wang leaned on the brocade couch and listened to the people outside celebrating the victory of the exile case and cheering for the princess and the Cheng family, even if it was pouring rain, it could not extinguish the enthusiasm of the people.
There was both anger and uneasiness in his heart, "Now if my Ao clan is in chaos like this, will they still be in the mood to celebrate?"
Ruo Aoxue heard that she wanted to order someone to stop and drive forward, so as to make Mrs. Wang happy, but Mrs. Wang took Ruo Aoxue's hand and said, "Forget it...... Xue'er, my mother is just very uneasy for some reason in her heart, your brother is far away in Zhengguo in the north, and the battlefield of life and death is ...... Your sister-in-law is involved in these incidents, and I'm afraid those bad guys won't stop there...... You say that I can't help them with anything, how can I feel at ease?"
"Mother, don't worry, there's still a father!"
Ruo Ao Xue lay in Mrs. Wang's arms and comforted softly, "Dad is my Chu State Ling Yin, under one person, above ten thousand, he will not let people bully his sister-in-law and brother." ”
"Hmm. ”
Madame Wang nodded.
……
At the same time, the Duwei Office of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division suddenly received an order from Yue Jiao, but at this time, everyone knew that Yue Jiao was being tortured in the palace, and it was a maid who came to issue the order of Yue Jiao, standing behind a Ruo Ao general, standing in front of the gate of the Du Wei Office.
After getting a report from the gatekeeper, Liu Yi, who was resting, sat up from the couch in shock, "What, you want to mobilize the soldiers and horses of the five cities?"
"Why?"
"Do you still need a reason for the order of Lord Lieutenant?"
The big man held his hand on the hilt of the sword with a faint blue light, and it seemed that Liu Yi would be in a different place if he asked more.
"My lord, do we need all the men and horses now, and are we ready to standby?"
After the visitor left, Xiao Huanglin asked out loud.
Liu Yi nodded quietly.
The wind and rain outside the window blew in, and the indoor lights flickered, he frowned slightly, looked at the brightly lit palace with a solemn face, and said in a deep voice: "Since it is the order of Lord Duwei, we will naturally follow it!"
"There's just one thing, Xiao Huanglin, I want you to do it now!"
"That's what Lord Lieutenant commands!"
Liu Yi called him to his side, whispered in his ear, and then Xiao Huanglin quickly left the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division with a small team of people and headed towards the palace, and after him, another group of soldiers disguised and changed their lines out of the horses fought by the Commander and headed towards Ruo Ao's Clan, while staying in the Commandery's Office, while ordering all the people and horses, he was worried in his heart, frowning and muttering to himself: "I hope Your Highness can quickly discover the changes of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses." ”
In the heavy rain, Xiao Huanglin led people to ride horses through the main city avenue, through a crowd of celebratory people, and went straight to the palace, followed by more than a dozen Huangyu guard soldiers pretending to be the soldiers and horses of the five cities, holding Liu Yi's token and quietly entering from the side gate of the East Palace.
The horses' hooves rolled like thunder, splashing crystal waves along the street.
In the East Palace, Mi Huang, who had been back for a long time, was lying on the phoenix bed, and the boss Qin next to the phoenix bed blotted her washed wet black hair with a dry cloth for her, and asked in a low voice, "Lady, you've been tired for a few days, aren't you already tired?"
"Well, tired is tired...... But I couldn't sleep. ”
Mi Huang opened her eyes, lay on the bed and said, her brows have not been relaxed, Yue Jiao has not been removed for a day, and she has a hard time in her heart.
Her mind was still replaying Zhao Changshi's words.
"Lady, there are many ways to want a person to die or be half-dead in this palace, and there are skills in this board, some have nothing to do with sixty boards, and some can remove most of their lives. Zhao Changshou smiled slightly.
"Mi Huang never knew who Zhao Changshi was?" Mi Huang asked rhetorically.
"Zhao De is just a minion, who can give Zhao De a whole body to retreat and enjoy the rest of his old age, Zhao De is anyone's person. ”
Zhao Changshou held the dust in his hand and said with a smile.
The prince competes for the prince, and it is often not only the people above who die, but also their minions below.
Once a son of heaven and a slave.
"Okay, then bother Zhao Changshou to entertain Captain Ruo Ao for Mrs. Ben, let him give Mrs. Ben a few days, let me arrange it, and then clean up his life. Mi Huang nodded.
"Yes, Your Highness. ”
……
In my mind, all kinds of characters came one after another.
During this time, everyone and her words were vivid, and even Zhao Changshi's words gave her a wake-up call, but how to get rid of the scourge of Ruo Ao Yuejiao, she didn't have a foolproof plan in her heart for a while, and the last picture stopped at the scene when she parted with Cheng Jia on the boat more than half a month ago.
His whisper immediately sounded in his head, "You are equivalent to two people now, you have to pay attention to rest...... You and the doctor will go back to the eastern suburbs first, and I will go back later......"
He came back, but she hadn't had a chance to ask if he was injured yet, and was about to call Si Jian in to ask.
Suddenly, Ruo Ziyan's reproachful eyes seemed to look through everything, and she called out loudly, "Huang'er ——" shattered all her thoughts.
Breathe lightly.
Si Qin sat on the edge of the bed and wiped her black hair, and finally put her hand on her forehead and pressed it lightly to help her sleep, and said softly, "Girl, if you are tired, you can sleep...... Don't think about anything today, the case of the displaced people is won, and the people can come back with the horses after the war......"
"Well, I don't want to. ”
Mi Huang, who was about to sleep with his eyes closed, suddenly frowned, Si Qin saw it, and said anxiously, "What's wrong with the princess?"
"The little guy kicked me, I wonder if he came up with it?"
The hand that Mi Huang put on the brocade quilt touched her stomach and smiled, and the little guy in her stomach kicked hard, as if she wanted to break free from her restraints and run out in advance.
Si Qin covered his mouth and chuckled, "He has probably been in it for a long time, and no one has spoken to him, he wants to come out to see what it looks like outside, and he also wants to see the appearance of the princess and the ministers of Zhu Palace today......
"Huh...... If he had come out sooner, I would have suffered less sin today. Mi Huang said in her heart, pregnancy is really not as good as before.
It's really tiring to go three days like this......
Thinking of this, the woman's breathing finally calmed down, her eyes closed gently, and the sound of rain outside the window gradually sounded, falling on the fiery red pomegranate tree, rustling, red pomegranate flowers, scattered with the wind, crumpled between the heavy red veil light curtains.
The sound of blowing farther away was mixed with the sound of heavy rain, and it came in bursts, accompanying her to sleep.
But this sleep can't last long after all.
