Chapter 30: Desperate Survival
Lone and Zhao Gou have been friends for eight or nine years, and the situation in Zhao Gou's family is clear to Lonely.
Zhao's martial arts style, even if he is in a high position, he refuses to give up his habits in the military. For example, although Zhao Gou was trained as the head of the next generation since he was a child, the education of knives, guns and sticks did not stop at all. In order to train Zhao Gou's reaction in the face of a fierce enemy, Zhang Ping's waiting people even attacked Zhao Gou with real knives and guns. In the most ruthless time, more than a dozen crossbowmen shot at a distance with real arrows, and almost ended Zhao Gou.
Zhao Gou is like a prodigal son on weekdays, and when he talks about this section, he is still quite afraid.
"The old man didn't know what to think, I almost thought my father was going to kill me. His subordinates are also merciless, and they are not afraid of offending the young master. After a few years, Zhao Gou was still in a cold sweat, and after a while, he seemed to think of something again, and said slyly, "However, this ruthlessness has forced me to work hard now." Huaizhang, you have never benefited from martial arts, and I am afraid that you have never felt murderous or oppressive. Do you want me to help you?"
Lonely and thankful.
"I don't go to the battlefield again," Gu was worried that the gentleman who taught archery was Prince Shen, and every time he saw Gu, he had a cold face, so he said, "Why do you want to practice such good martial arts? ”
Zhao Gou grinned: "I don't work in vain, you have to give me some benefits?"
Lonely glanced at him: "This hasn't been done yet, it's going to be good, it turns out that the head of the Zhao family is nothing more than that." ”
Zhao Gou muttered what is the head of the Zhao family, who is rare.
Recalling this, Lone looked up at the arrows in the sky, and all that flashed in his mind were irrelevant images.
It turned out that one day, Lone was really on the battlefield. And Zhao Gou, Zhao Gou may be the one who wants to die alone.
"Prince!" someone roared in the distance, "what are you doing in a daze!
When the first arrow arrived, it pierced Lone's right arm.
"Prince!"
Lone was awakened by the pain, the burning pain of his hands, the pain of the arrows on his shoulders, the confusion in his heart, and the faint pain of regret.
"Thirty years later, on the night of Qixi Festival, outside the gate of Zhao Mansion in Chang'an, let's drink together. ”
"Ahh
Then he used the wounded shoulder to stick to the artillery barrel, and the hot metal instantly pasted the flesh and blood, and the green smoke was scalded.
The severe pain rekindled Lone's resolute ambition, and Lone had no time to grieve the spring and autumn.
Ancient and modern achievements, translated into a broken intestine song.
"Prince!"
"Prince!"
Lone couldn't hear it, Lone gritted his teeth, the fishy smell swelled in his throat, and he pushed the cannon with his shoulder, trying to push it to turn around inch by inch.
"Huaizhang!"
Zhao Gou.
Lone seemed to hear Zhao Go's voice, but Lone no longer had the extra strength to distinguish it. Yes and how, no, Lone and Zhao Gou...... Lone and Zhao Gou......
The wheels at the bottom of the gun finally turned a little bit, and the muzzle of the gun turned from the East Palace to the opposite direction.
The outer layer of flesh from the wound on Lone's shoulder was half-cooked, sticking to the outside of the cannon body, emitting a smell similar to that of roasted meat. Lone couldn't care about the pain anymore, gritted his teeth and tore the flesh off alive, then picked up the torch on the ground and lit the fuse.
"Boom!"
The Chang'an defenders who are rushing towards the East Palace are in chaos!
Lone made persistent efforts to get new ammunition, and halfway through the loading, the defenders of Chang'an suddenly shouted. The rain of arrows stopped, and the sound of swords colliding became clearer.
Someone shouted: "It's the prince! It's the prince in front of the gate of the East Palace!" From this sound on, the "prince" and "how can it be the prince" became noisy, noisy and shouting, and the sound of the man spread like a wave from the front of the east palace gate to the palace gate. So far away that I could barely hear it as a human voice.
The wind swept the ground, Lone's body was cold, something sticky flowed down his shoulders, wetting the entire robe, and Lone only felt colder and colder. Lonely trembled and trembled to hold the ammunition, but the warm ammunition seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, whose blood was sprinkled on it, it was very slippery, and the ammunition repeatedly slipped off.
"Gu Huaizhang, you don't want to die!" A person fell behind Gu from a high place, grabbed Gu's waist, and brought Gu to his hot arms. He knocked down the ammunition that he was holding in his hand, and the ammunition fell to the ground with a "bell" and rolled out a long way.
Gu trembled his hands, his hands and shoulders were blurred, and he desperately turned to look back.
The man covered Lone's eyes: "Don't look at it, you ......"
The nearby cannon rumbled, and there was a buzz in the lonely ear, and it was impossible to hear what he said.
As soon as the man exerted his strength, he threw Gu on his back, supported Gu with one hand, and suddenly rose up and jumped onto the high wall of the palace gate, seeing that he was about to leave the battlefield with Gu.
"I can't go," Lone grabbed his arms, his palms hurt, and the blood flowed for a long time, quickly wetting his clothes, "I'm a heinous traitor when I'm gone." Stay! We must stabilize the defenders of Chang'an! We must take over the military power!"
The man paused at the head of the wall, and he asked, "Have you thought about it?"
Lone just repeated: "I want to seize the military power! Tell them that I am the crown prince! I am the future emperor! I can't go!"
Lonely and incoherent, I don't even know what I'm saying. The man stood at the height of the palace wall, with a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood at his feet, and tens of thousands of people crowded in front of the palace gate, like waves in the tide. With the light of swords and the rumbling of artillery, everyone knew that they had participated in a bloody coup, but few people understood what role they had played and what direction they had pushed the situation in the turmoil in Chang'an.
The man put Gu down and helped Gu to stand steadily, he stood behind Gu, supporting Gu's crumbling body without a trace.
"The defenders of Chang'an obey orders!"
His deep voice was deafening, reverberating through the walls of the palace and reverberating throughout the battlefield.
"When the crown prince is here, he will order you to leave the East Palace immediately!"
In the past, Zhao Gou once said half-truths and half-truths to Gu that if he was lucky, a long howl would wake up the entire Chang'an. Lonely asked him to try, but Zhao Gou said that in the dead of night, what did he do to disturb people's dreams for no reason.
"Tian Feng pretended to preach the decree and established himself as the king of Qi, in a vain attempt to blackmail the prince, such a great rebellion and wolf ambition should be punished for their crimes! All the soldiers and soldiers who have the idea of family and country should know their way back and serve the holy king! The prince is benevolent, and you will be guilty of meritorious service, and there will be a great reward in the future!"
He is not Zhao Gou.
The wind was blowing, and the lonely's robe was blowing in the wind.
"Next, say a word, and you repeat it. Gu said slowly, "Listen up: the holy driver is funeral, and the crown prince ascends the throne ......."
The man stiffened and said to Gu: "Gu Huaizhang, are you really determined to go so far?"
Gu smiled: "Is there a choice for Lone? Ji Xiang, if you are the son of the Yun family, don't you know that the destiny of heaven returns, Lone must be the first emperor of the ages?"
Standing behind the lone man was indeed Ji Fufeng. He said coldly: "The Yun clan only knows that when you died, you were covered by a dragon robe. ”
The implication may also be the posthumous emperor's position.
It is also better to chase the seal than to be a prisoner.
"Then the Yun clan is really in decline. Gu smiled and said, "The emperor of Zhongxing in the Great Zhou Dynasty must be Lonely, and there is no one else to think about." ”
Standing alone on the palace wall, the long wind blew the lonely cheeks: "Thousands of years of hegemony, who else should I be?"
"On the day of the holy funeral, the crown prince ascended the throne. You and other escorts are meritorious, as the new monarch's imperial guard, with the emperor's imperial chariot into the Chongyuan Palace, by hundreds of officials to congratulate, all the people to the court!"
"Hundreds of officials come to congratulate, and all the people come to court!"
The echo shook, and everyone was at a loss.
Even in the rebellion of the king of Thailand in the previous dynasty, there was no such change in the prince's direct ascension to the throne and title of emperor in the chaos of war.
But now the Chongyuan Hall and other palaces of the outer dynasties are not guarded by the main force of the imperial guards, and the place where the Great Zhou is governed is like a gem placed on the side of the road, which is easy for anyone to capture.
It's just that no one dares to move, no one can defy the authority of their father and move the jewel on the scepter of the empire. Everyone believed that his father still had the upper hand, and once he returned to Beijing, none of the rebels would end well.
Dare alone.
Not only the gem, but also the scepter, the entire empire, Gu will take it!
The first step is to build the people's recognition of Lonely. As long as there is the first person to bow down to the lonely, there will be a second and a third...... The 10,000,000th!
"I didn't see that the prince was so arrogant. Ji Fufeng said coldly, "Maybe we chose the wrong one." ”
"Lone didn't see that you were a pig and a tiger," the wound kept bleeding, Lone was cold, everything in front of him blurred, a little silver crossed Lone's field of vision, Lone knew that Lone was going to faint because of excessive blood loss, so he hurried up to beat Ji Fufeng again: "It seems that you and I both know the benefits of hibernation." Xiangyun lifts the wind up, this is the true meaning of your name, right? Therefore, Shu is dead, and your father is strictly guarding you, so you can only rely on me, the arrogant prince. The King of Han is humble, the King of Yan is dull, and Prince Zhao is stubborn and self-serving. Only I can help you rebuild your homeland. ”
"Are you really willing? Shu Kingdom Wuhua Tianbao, your father and emperor tried his best to kill Shu and include it in the territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty, but you are willing to separate Shu again?"
"When you get Shu Kingdom, will the Great Zhou be strong? The decline in the past thirty years is not because of ......" Gu's eyelids are getting heavier and heavier, and the speed of blood loss is much faster than Gu imagined, Gu can only give up the unfinished half sentence, and grab Ji Fufeng's clothes behind him: "Take me down, can't let them see ......"
