Overnight, the atmosphere in Shangjing suddenly became unpredictable.

The mutation of Da'an Palace is windless autobiography, the leather armor army of the four battalions will replace and transfer most of the armor in the palace overnight, and the armor guarding the palace gate is like a great enemy, and a flying horse stepped out of the snow from the palace, and passed the instructions to everywhere. Although the ordinary people did not know why, they also saw some signs from the soldiers who were several times more numerous in the city, and most of them hid at home and did not want to go out.

Compared with the rumors in Beijing, Hongdu Mansion is still the same as yesterday, as if nothing had happened.

"Lord Shizi, can we wait for news from Shangjing?"

Helian Tao shook his head: "No need to wait. ”

Hong Xiucai, who was standing beside him, also said: "Yes, the Confucian King must be going to test the knife with the Yang family, we have news, and the Confucian King must also get the news, maybe faster than us." Xu Jianhe is the leader of Shilin, law-abiding and orthodox, and has been stubborn for many years, and Li Xiang is a powerful minister and a minister, these two ...... It's hard to say...... It's just that no matter whether the two sides can reach a tacit understanding in the end, and what the movement in the shadows of Shangjing is, there will be a battle in our place. ”

"Yes, the subordinates will go and arrange it. ”

In the middle of the night, the lights of the Zhao family are bright and dark, and the dark places are all peaceful enough to sleep soundly, but the bright places are all kinds of thoughts, and they can't be generalized.

Helian Tao was dressed in black and melted into the night, he pulled a bow and shot arrows since he was a child, and his eyesight was excellent, so he deliberately chose the top of the attic of a house far away from the Zhao family, squatting on it and squinting at the layout of the Zhao family's house. The Confucian King was thoughtful, and he must have exhausted the water of the Zhao family, he looked at the surrounding environment, thinking, if it was himself, where would he arrange manpower as a precaution.

He waved his finger lightly and pointed to a few positions, and several dark shadows moved silently towards those places.

After a while, after he made sure that the eyeliner around him was cleaned, he slowly approached the Zhao Mansion and commanded in a low voice: "Find someone first, be sure to ensure Qi Rou's safety." ”

In the dark, Qi Rou was lying on the couch, wanting to see if the night was bright today, but a screen was horizontal between the bed and the partition window, making her unable to tell the difference. These days, she has been sleeping in her clothes, and she has never given up hope of being rescued. Poria knew her thoughts, and she didn't persuade her, but she followed her every step of the way, and took care of her every day, and she even got better with morning sickness.

Poria heard her movement here, and her voice immediately came from outside the screen: "Madam, do you want to drink water?"

Qi Rou sighed silently, sat up slowly, subconsciously put her hand on her abdomen, and said, "I can't sleep, light the lamp." ”

Pregnant people are afraid of hurting their eyes, so Poria deliberately lit a few more candles and came over to help her sit down at the table behind the screen. Qi Rou pushed the window to look at the sky outside, closed it again in Poria's eyes, and said, "I really can't sleep, you go and get that Guxun." ”

Qi Rou is everyone's best girl, and she has dabbled in the guqin and flute, but she likes this guxun who whimperes the most. At this time, as a caged bird, she has nothing else to do but blow a blow every day to relieve her worries.

Gu Xun's voice was not very penetrating, but it could be heard far away in the silence of this dark night. But everyone in the Zhao family knows that Chui Xun is their Zhao Sanye's inner relative, delicate and frail, never exposed in front of others, only one or two Xun tones are heard from time to time, which can also prove the existence of this person. Therefore, it is not surprising to hear her blowing.

The guards who were hiding in the shadows only raised their eyelids and didn't move.

At this time, Helian Tao, who came from the night, was moved. Ah Ci once told him that Li Yi had studied Guxun decently for several days in order to please Qi Rou. He turned around and looked at a man in black behind him, who was also full of joy, and he pulled down the face towel on his face, it was Li Yi.

They listened intently to the movement and discerned the direction. Then Helian Tao commanded in a low voice: "Whip five, Ah Xiang." You take men to attack from the southwest and from the east. The others followed me. ”

Whip Five took a step back, and drew a few groups of people to disperse in those two directions.

Fang Cai Guxun's voice came from the northwest corner. Helian Tao stood silently, hearing the faint sound of sword striking piercing the silent night, and waited for a while, took out three arrows from the quiver on his back, put them on the bow, and said to the people who followed him: "Go!"

Even if Whip Wu and Ah Xiang had brought dozens of dead soldiers to lead away some of the guards, but after Helian Tao led people into the Zhao family, there was still a steady stream of black-clothed people attacking them openly or secretly, but Helian Tao's overlord bow was not vegetarian, he stood on a high place, holding the overlord bow and blasting a group of black-clothed people, Li Yihu was by his side to help him fill the leaks, and the two cooperated very tacitly.

The rest of the dead soldiers continued to rush forward, and the smell of blood spread throughout the Zhao family.

Li Yi said: "The Zhao family didn't move at all, they all hid in the house and didn't dare to go out, it seems that they have known that there was such a time, it is really hateful!" A long cut was made on his right arm, and blood flowed from his cuff to the sword. Watching more and more people surround them here. He took a step back to see Helian Tao and saw that he had also suffered several minor knife wounds. I couldn't help asking, "Are you okay?"

Helian Tao frowned and shook his head, and sent several three-breath chains in a row, shooting out a gap. "Let's save people first!"

Fortunately, the dark guards around Helian Tao formed a small formation of their own with each other, in groups of three, spinning and advancing like gears. According to the plan made by Helian Tao in advance, the group fought all the way and finally approached the courtyard.

Qi Rou accepted Gu Xun, and then heard sporadic noises coming from outside, Poria frowned, and was about to persuade her to go back and lie down, but someone suddenly said outside the door: "Poria Cocos, there is something strange outside, you take your wife ......"

In the middle of speaking, the man made a 'ho' sound as if something had cut his throat. Poria was startled, plugged them in, turned her head to look at Qi Rou, and when she turned around, she saw Qi Rou holding the wooden box with jewelry and smashing it into her head!

Poria is hit by the wooden box and faints to the ground. Qi Rou's heart was in turmoil, and she forced herself to calm down and listen to the sounds outside. There were footsteps outside from far and near, and he pushed the door hard, knocked lightly twice, and an unfamiliar voice whispered: "Open the door, I'm here to save you." ”

Qi Rou stared at the door nervously, she hadn't forgotten that Yang Miao wanted her life at the beginning, and she wasn't sure whether the other party wanted to save her or kill her. She hesitated to speak, until she heard a series of muffled sounds of flesh and blood flying outside, and then said, "Rou'er, is that you?"

This voice is his husband!

Qi Rou sent it down in one breath, almost sitting on the ground, she staggered a step, and hurriedly opened the latch. "Hong Jian!"

Li Yi saw that it was really Qi Rou, and hugged her: "Rou'er, it's really you!"

The two stared at each other, and they didn't have time to speak, and Helian Tao had already stepped forward behind him: "Hurry up and get out of here." ”

Originally, everyone did not agree to Li Yi coming to Hongdu Mansion, but Li Yi insisted no matter what, his wife, how could he not come! In the end, Helian Tao had no choice but to pretend to be his secret guard and accompany him, which did not attract the attention of some people in Shangjing. He held the sword in one hand and Qi Rou in the other, and pointed to Poria on the ground: "I killed her." ”

Qi Rou hurriedly stopped: "Don't, she's not a bad person, she's very dedicated to me, but she's just being controlled by others and acting according to orders, let her go." ”

After hearing this, Li Yi took Qi Rou to follow behind Helian Tao and the others, and withdrew from the Zhao Mansion before another wave of black-clothed people arrived. Li Yi said as he walked, "What about the Confucian King?"

Helian Tao didn't reply: "Do you really think that the Confucian King will be here? Do you think the Confucian King is so stupid?" He said to one of the guards beside him: "You go to meet with the whip five and them, just say that the master has saved people, tell them to fight and retreat, and then meet with the master at the place agreed in advance." ”

"Yes!"

The guards took the order and left, and Li Yi was surprised: "You already knew that the Confucian King was not here?"

Helian Tao nodded. "The Confucian king is thoughtful, and I am afraid that he has already joined the rebels at this time. Kong Chang will block the road and intercept it, let's go thousands of miles now to meet the Gyeonggi army and give him a two-sided attack!"

Li Yi couldn't help but feel grateful. Since the Confucian King is not here, then Qi Rou's stay here is a bait, Helian Tao knew that it was a trap, but he resolutely gave up his life to save it. However, among the men, there was no need to say much, he only put this gratitude in his heart and asked, "How many people does the Confucian King have?"

Helian Tao shook his head: "I can't be sure, there are his people in Shangjing and in the army of various states, counties and towns." What is certain is that the king has also made arrangements. ”

Li Yi was silent, tacitly acknowledging with Helian Tao. Everyone retreated to a safe place, leaving some people to pick up the five and others, and the others immediately set off after briefly dealing with the injured places.

In the dark night, the mountains are undulating and the road is blurred. Kong Chang and Ding Wei and the 20,000 elite soldiers behind him finally arrived in Weicheng.

The polder city is an important city between the five capitals of Beijing, like the third eye of the king who sits in Beijing. If there is a foreign enemy, as long as the polder city is held, in the absence of internal enemies, Shangjing will not be chaotic, and Da'an Palace is also safe.

Ding Wei stood on the high city tower and asked Kong Chang: "Old Kong, when did you know that Yang Yan's kid had a problem! I saw that you were very good with him on weekdays, and Lao Ding thought you would recognize him as your godson!"

"Don't talk nonsense!" Kong Chang glared at Ding Wei, and a little anger came up in his heart. He was silent and said: "Lao Tzu is blind, I really thought this kid was a good one at first, and I didn't think about it...... Alas, don't say it!

Ding Wei said twice, didn't ask, and said, "It's better for me to have a brain." I never thought about recognizing my godson, so I thought about finding a daughter-in-law quickly. ”

Kong Chang rolled his eyes angrily, who doesn't want to find a daughter-in-law, they are in their thirties. It's just that they stay in the storm beach all the year round, and the nearby villages and towns are often disturbed, which little lady will go with them to that place to live and suffer?

The two were at a loss to speak, when a long line of torches and horses' hooves burst out of the city. All the guards immediately became vigilant: "The polder is important, who is coming!"
