Chapter 443: The Great Fire in the Palace
These shouts outside the Xu Kung Fu Hall are even more noisy and chaotic. Qingcheng sent all the disciples to wait under the Danqi, seeing the forbidden army scattered in all directions, and seeing the black smoke billowing from the fire in the Fengtian Hall above, and still not seeing the head of the sect Chu Wangnan come out, everyone couldn't help but worry.
When he touched the people who escaped from the palace, he found out that Chu Wangnan had died at the hands of Liu Shaoyang. When the people of the sect were shocked and angry when they heard the news, they all screamed and rushed up to the hall, and they saw Liu Shaoyang's gloomy expression and wanted to leave.
You must know that the Qingcheng faction has been blessed by the Ming court over the years, and its momentum is the first of the Xuanzong lineages in the north and south. These hundreds of people are all good at the Xuanfa in the Qingcheng faction, and they are full of thoughts of loyalty to the monarch and defending the Tao. At this time, seeing the fire in the eyes of the killer enemy, he couldn't help but shout to surround Liu Shaoyang, and Huo Huojian slashed with swords.
Liu Shaoyang's heart was furious for a while, and he unexpectedly harmed Chu Wangnan's life, and he was ashamed to think about it and didn't want to hurt the Qingcheng faction again. At this point, he sighed secretly, so he had to swing his blade to block the four sword rains, and he turned his true qi and swayed out of the sword formation, and ran north across the palace.
He picked up the rare places and walked through, jumped between the halls, and left the first three halls in a blink of an eye, and arrived at the harem. But as far as the eye can see, the corridors of the house and the hall are full of fire, and the eunuchs and palace maids everywhere scream and scream.
Liu Shaoyang saw that this situation was miserable, and couldn't help but stop and say secretly: "Zhu Yunwen abdicated his position and escaped, and he wanted to destroy the palace and not leave others." It's a pity that this good and dignified forbidden city, how difficult it was to gather the people of Jiangnan to build back then, but in the blink of an eye, it will turn into ruins, broken walls, scorched earth and rubble!"
It was when I sighed like this that I suddenly heard someone shouting in front of a warm pavilion not far away. Liu Shaoyang looked at it, but when he looked at the firelight, there were five men who looked like brocade guards and were all carrying bags on their shoulders, but they were blocked by more than ten internal supervisors. Listening to the words, I thought that this group of guards took advantage of the chaos to loot the property in the palace, but they were bumped into by the internal supervisor in charge, so they quarreled.
Liu Shaoyang's heart was empty, and he didn't want to care about such idle matters, but the long-faced man led by the group of guards was very fierce, and at this moment, he pulled out his knife and slashed the leader's inner supervisor to the ground. Seeing this, the rest of the inner prisoners were so frightened that they dared to stop them, and they didn't care about saving the person who fell in a pool of blood, so they dispersed in a hurry.
Liu Shaoyang saw that this group of brocade guards had stolen property and harmed people's lives, and his body shook and he was close in an instant, and seeing that the people on the ground had already died with a sword, his heart was angry and said in a deep voice: "You people are guarding the forbidden palace with a fortune, and the court is in trouble but you are doing the act of robbing and killing people's lives while the fire is in trouble, what is the difference between this and the bandits who rob houses and rob houses!"
The brocade guards were about to leave, when they suddenly felt that someone blocked the way in front of them. Before the long-faced man who drew his knife responded, a group of bearded men in the side compartment had already scolded angrily: "This is not your family's private property, grandfathers will take it, which is your turn to meddle in your affairs!" The long-faced man who made the knife didn't answer, and the shaking of the cold blade had slashed at Liu Shaoyang's waist and ribs.
Liu Shaoyang sneered in his heart, and in an instant, Xuan Gong secretly turned around his body. I saw that the steel knife slashed at his waist like touching pure gold and stubborn iron, and the long-faced man couldn't hold it, and the long knife flew out of his hand "whirring" for several feet.
The punch from the bearded man in the side compartment was like cotton wool in front of Liu Shaoyang's chest, and before he woke up, he heard Liu Shaoyang's cold voice: "Let's lie down!" The two of them only felt that their bodies were brushed by Liu Shaoyang's sleeve robe, and they had no strength when they wanted to acupoint points, and they both lay on the ground softly.
The remaining three people saw that Liu Shaoyang's skills were like a golden immortal ghost, and they were so shocked that they dared to do anything in the two trembling forces?
Liu Shaoyang snorted coldly when he saw that these people were not doing anything, and when he looked at the bearded man, he was very familiar with it. Suddenly remembered someone, and said in surprise: "Wu Darttou, why did you end up here?"
The bearded man was stunned and blurted out, "Isn't it...... Are they all their own brothers, and they are still looking forward to the bottom of their hands!" said and shouted at several men beside him: "This is the master of the Five Elements Gate that I often mention to you, and General Liu, who is now powerful in front of the Yan King's tent!"
It turned out that this person was Wu Zhenying, the dart head that Liu Shaoyang met in front of the Yuewang Temple in Hangzhou when he returned to Huai'an from Yijiang Island.
When Liu Shaoyang saw this person, he couldn't help but think of Jiang Xueyin. With a sigh in his heart, he flicked his fingers to untie him and the long-faced man's acupoint, and said with a slightly gentle expression: "You don't work in the Yongjin Dart Bureau in Hangzhou, but how do you get to this forbidden palace?"
Wu Zhenying's face was hateful, and he sighed and said: "Liu Daxia doesn't know, Wu took over a business on the rivers and lakes a few years ago, and he secretly transported private wealth for a big official in the imperial court. Who knew that passing through the Shandong border was robbed by the thieves of the White Lotus Sect. This accumulation of stolen money was originally an unseemly act, but the official thought that I had embezzled my property and refused to stop. After half a year, he sent the Hangzhou government yamen to ...... me Punished for the crime of rebellion by Zhou Wuyu's party, not to mention all the brothers' family property, more than ten members of the family were beheaded according to the law, and only one family escaped with his life!"
When Liu Shaoyang heard him say this, he thought to himself: "Such an encounter is really a creation and a trick! I think it is also because he is open-mouthed and often talks to people and has old friends with me, which is why the family is ruined!"
"A certain family has been hiding in Tibet in the rivers and lakes in recent years, a few days ago I heard that the soldiers of the king of Yan arrived in Huaizuo, and I had the heart to defect, and I happened to meet the old acquaintances who had served under the account of the king of Yan, and was ordered to come to Jiangnan to recruit righteous people to build the great cause of Jingjing. I took this opportunity to serve King Yan, and together with the rest of the brothers, I mixed into the Jinyi Guard and waited for an opportunity. ”
Liu Shaoyang thought to himself: "This statement is not false, King Yan did send his cronies across the river early to recruit people from the rivers and lakes to be used by the Yan army!"
Wu Zhenying was ashamed when he said this, and said abruptly: "Today, when the Yan army attacked the city, the brothers took advantage of the chaos to make many guards flee. A certain family is looking for countless treasures in this palace, and instead of letting Zhu Yunwen destroy most of them with a fire, it is better to pick up some and take them in vain. Who would have thought that there would be an internal supervisor here to block and interrogate, my brother was in a hurry, so he killed this eunuch. ”
Liu Shaoyang listened to what he said before and after, and thought: "These people have seen the treasures in the palace, and it is common for them to be greedy, so they must only persuade them not to open the killing ring in vain in the future!", that is, he looked at the sky with his eyes, sighed and said: "Well, now that King Yan has captured the capital, Zhu Yunwen is fleeing, and he is still hoping that Li Shu will act less and kill less!"
"The brothers have low skills, since they met Liu Daxia here, they should be whips and stirrups and obey orders. According to a certain family's opinion, it is better to take advantage of the fact that the faint monarch has not fled away, and find it to catch up, or you can get a miracle!" That Wu Zhenying originally wanted to take advantage of the chaos in the palace to capture Zhu Yunwen and get the first merit, but he was worried that Zhu Yunwen still had a master escort by his side, so he didn't dare to act. At this time, when he saw that Liu Shaoyang had no worries, he hurriedly invited him to arrest him.
Liu Shaoyang saw that he was bent on catching Zhu Yunwen and inviting merit, his brows tightened and he secretly thought: "People in the world are keen on fame and fortune all day long, and men who look bold like Wu Dart are no exception. If I want to take Zhu Yunwen's hand, I have already done it, so why bother to force other countries to flee now!"
He was able to realize Zou Pusheng's words, and at this time, he was full of hatred and resentment, and he was just silent when he heard the words. Wu Zhenying saw that Liu Shaoyang's expression was gloomy and uninterested, and his face was strange, as if he was displeased. For a while, Nahan couldn't help but be apprehensive, so he had to give his hand and said: "I think Liu Daxia has other important things and a certain family doesn't dare to disturb it, he will enter the capital on the ninth five, and Wu will go to the general's mansion to pay a visit!"
Liu Shaoyang shook his head and smiled bitterly when he saw this person leaving, and hesitated for a long time to think about the right and wrong here, it is useless to stay in the right and wrong place, it is better to go to the rivers and lakes to find Jiang Xueyin's traces, even if it is irretrievable, he can make a wish.
He was determined to go by himself, but suddenly heard the sound of shouting and killing in the direction of Fengtian Palace, and his heart beat secretly: "Isn't it that the Yan army has already entered the palace and is fighting with the people of the Qingcheng faction?"
