Chapter 130: Cruelty

Just as he was stunned, He Chong rushed to see the driver.

"Minister He Chong see the Queen Mother, see Your Majesty! The loud noise just now didn't frighten the two of you, right? โ€

Yu Wenrui didn't look at him, but stared out the window with a twisted brow, and said in a deep voice: "He Qing, what was the sound just now?" โ€

"Your Majesty forgiveness! What the specific situation is, the minister still does not know, but someone has been sent to investigate, and I think there will be news soon. โ€

Yu Wenrui's heart was even more uneasy, he glanced at him, and said, "You get up." I heard what sounded like something on fire exploding......"

"Could it be that the cannon is going off somewhere during the New Year?" He Chong guessed, and at the same time had the courage to look at the emperor's face.

Seeing that the emperor's face had not changed, he secretly breathed a long sigh of relief in his heart-

Such a big battle, I'm afraid that the entire Imperial Capital City was trembled three times, what cannon battle can have such power? Nine times out of ten, something big happened. What's more, the direction from which the sound came from is still ...... He Chong thought about it and couldn't help but feel a sigh.

The older the emperor gets, the more majestic the Son of Heaven becomes, and the more people dare not look at it directly. To put it irreverently, He Chong watched the emperor grow up, and he knows her temperament for a long time. Therefore, he would rather guess a sentence than have a preconceived idea, and made an idea for the Son of Heaven.

The so-called "companion is like a companion tiger", this matter may involve the Yuwen clan, who doesn't know that since the founding of the Emperor Tai Zu of the Great Zhou Dynasty, it is not uncommon for brothers to fight against each other's walls. For the sake of their own safety, it is better to guess less about the Sacred Heart.

"From which direction do you think it's coming from?" Yu Wenrui asked suddenly.

"Yichen sounds like it's coming from the southeast."

"Southeast, Southeast......" Yu Wenrui muttered and repeated.

Isn't the southeast the direction of King Yi's Mansion?

At this time, Jing Yan, who had been sitting silently on the side, seemed to have anticipated what she was thinking, and said, "He Aiqing, has the palace been calm as usual these days?" โ€

He Chong hurriedly said: "Queen Mother Mingjian! Since the detention of those restless palace people a few days ago, no one dares to do anything wrong. โ€

Jing Yan nodded and said, "How are those people now?" โ€

"Queen Mother, please rest assured, they have all been secretly โ–กโ–ก."

Seeing Yu Wenrui's puzzled face, Jing Yan smiled at her lightly: "I talked to the emperor the day before yesterday, and during the emperor's fortunate desertion, there were a few restless minions in the palace. โ€

Yuwen Rui responded, still confused in her heart: at that time, she only cared about sticking to her sister-in-law, and did not ask in detail, I don't know what these slaves did to be restless.

Jing Yan turned to He Chong again and asked, "Have you confessed?" โ€

"Two confessed, and a few hard-boned...... However, the Queen Mother can rest assured that in the Prudent Criminal Division, she is not afraid that they will not be recruited. โ€

When Jing Yan heard this, a sneer crossed the corner of his mouth.

No one is born cruel. In the past, she also adhered to the teachings of the sage of gentleness, courtesy and frugality, but in a high position, she never wanted to calculate others, but someone came to calculate her! People are harmless to the tiger's heart, but the tiger is hurtful! If she doesn't know, it's just that, she is killed by them, and she blames herself for being stupid; Now that she knows, how can she let them come nonsense? How can we tolerate them, one day in the future, hurt her worry-free?

The older a person grows, the more he goes through it, the more cruel he becomes. Since someone wants to fight for their lives, then she will accompany her to the end!

"He Aiqing, you are the commander-in-chief's responsibility for the safety of the inner court, you have to keep your eyes open to the mourning family, in this forbidden palace, no matter who dares to talk about the government privately, dares to discuss the affairs of the heavenly family, and even dares to endanger the reputation and life of the master, report it to the mourning family and the emperor immediately, and will not be forgiven!"

He Chong's back couldn't help but straighten, and he replied "Obey Yi's will" in his mouth, but there was a burst of apprehension in his heart: The Queen Mother said "No matter who it is", so does Aunt Yujue, who serves the Queen Mother, count?

When Yu Wenrui heard this, she was slightly stunned, she didn't know such a domineering sister-in-law. Hmm, how do you describe it? It's a little strange, and it's a little exciting......

At this moment, Shen Quan rushed into the hall and said, "Your Majesty! Dowager! โ€

"What's the panic?" Yu Wenrui glanced at him with disgust, "What's the matter?" โ€

"King Yi's Mansion...... Yiwang's Mansion somehow blew up! And then there was a fire again! โ€

Yu Wenrui was shocked: Sure enough, it is Yiwang Mansion!

In the night, the skyrocketing black smoke from the explosion obscured people's vision. Cries for help, shouts, "crackling" sparks, roof collapses...... It's all in one place.

Fortunately, the place where King Yi's Mansion is located is still a street away from the nearest neighbor, so it will not harm the innocent.

As soon as there was an accident here, the Imperial Forest Army and Jingzhao Yin Yamen all dispatched to fight the fire, and together with the neighboring people, they were also afraid of affecting themselves, so they carried the water and put out the fire, and those who were afraid of hurting their own lives, so they fled from the house with their families in tow.

In the chaos, no one noticed that at the back door of King Yi's mansion, more than a dozen people sneaked away quietly, and a few horses were dragged.

Relying on the fact that it was difficult to distinguish in the middle of the night, and few people paid attention to the back door of the street, the group cautiously rubbed to the city gate, and took advantage of the chaos to get out of the city.

After running wildly for an unknown amount of time, it was not until he turned back that he could no longer see the outline of the capital of the Great Zhou Emperor, and Yu Fuyao breathed a sigh of relief.

He hurriedly grabbed the reins, turned over and dismounted, and the few or so guards who were left stopped with him.

"Lord? Are you alright, Lord? He grabbed Yuwen Chengji's horse and asked worriedly.

Yuwen Chengji has already been weakly committed to the horse, he is already in his old age, he is already weak, where can he withstand this toss?

Hearing Yu Fuyao's familiar voice, he barely opened his eyes and struggled with difficulty: "Fuyao......"

But I didn't want to, I felt dizzy in my head, I couldn't sit still, and I fell off the horse.

"Lord!"

The crowd was shocked and hurriedly helped him up.

Yuwen Chengji rolled to the ground, splashed on the snow, his head and face were also torn, and his clothes were torn.

"This brute!" Yuwen Chengji roared wildly, "It's bad for the old man's hard work!" He should have been slaughtered a long time ago......"

He was furious, his throat was sweet, and a mouthful of blood spurted out wildly.

Yu Fuyao was shocked, and his eyes turned red, "Don't worry, Venerable Lord!" Be relieved! The subordinates have already flown the pigeon to deliver the message. As long as we go north, someone will come to meet us. โ€

He reluctantly helped Yuwen Chengji on the horse, and he was not worried about him alone, he wanted to ride with him in anxiety, and in a blink of an eye, he saw Ruyi who was still sitting on his horse, after all, he called a henchman to protect Yuwen Chengji, and he turned back and wanted to ride with Ruyi again.

Suddenly, there was a sound of horses' hooves behind him, from far to near, more and more urgent.

There are pursuers!

Yu Fuyao was shocked and hurriedly pulled the saddle and got on the horse. But before they could run out for more than twenty paces, the other party had already caught up, and it was clear that the horses were much better than theirs.

The people who came didn't talk nonsense, and directly surrounded more than a dozen people.

Yu Fuyao's heart sank-

Dressed in black, masked, all of them are strong and strong, and they all have knives in their hands, bright and dazzling.

This group of people is not officers and soldiers!

If it is an officer or soldier, there may still be a glimmer of life; If it's any other force, it's ......

Without waiting for him to think about it, someone came out of the crowd, also dressed in black, but he didn't mask his face, and smiled suspiciously: "Manager Yu, the night is dark and the wind is high, where are you going?" โ€

Yuwen Kejian!

Yu Fuyao's heart was flustered, "Why are you here?" โ€

"Why am I here?" Yuwen Kejian evoked a cold smile, "Naturally, I'm here to welcome the lord!" โ€

Yu Fuyao didn't believe that Yuwen Kejian could be so loyal, and he was even more confused: "How did you know?" โ€

"The chief manager is asking me how I know that King Yi's Mansion was blown up? Or how do I know where the Lord is here? โ€

As soon as his voice fell, he suddenly heard a scream of "ah", and the guards guarding Yuwen Chengji had been cut down under the horse by one person, leaving Yuwen Chengji alone groggily lying on the horse's back, shaky.

The one who cut people was actually Yu Fuyao's men!

The man moved his hand, waved the long knife in his hand, and faced Yu Fuyao and his party.

A sense of sadness came up from the bottom of Yu Fuyao's heart. He roared and jumped up from the saddle, and the figure flashed, and with a "poof", the person who had cut the person before was already in a different place, and his body fell to the snow, blood splattered.

Yu Fuyao turned around and landed behind Yuwen Chengji, protecting him; The dead man's long knife had already reached his hand, pointing directly at Yuwen Kejian.

He showed his hand, and Yuwen Kejian was also shocked.

After being stunned for a moment, Yuwen Kejian smiled indifferently: "The chief manager is in charge!" But I don't know if the chief manager is covered in iron, how many nails can he twist? โ€

Yu Fuyao saw that several people on the other side had already surrounded his previous mounts, as well as Ruyi, who was riding together, his eyes were hot, but his voice was unwilling: "What do you want?" โ€

"Huh! The boss, this is a bit of a business-talking! Yuwen Kejian said, his words changed sharply, and he said bluntly, "Please honor the lord and pass it on to me!" I will protect the Lord thoroughly! Otherwise......"

Murderous intent burst out of his eyes.

At this time, Yuwen Chengji, who was almost unconscious, spoke, and his voice was muffled.

Yuwen Kejian listened carefully, and only then could he hear clearly-

"The old man is dead...... Nor will it ...... I won't be threatened by you yellow-mouthed kid! โ€

Yuwen Kejian looked up to the sky and laughed: "Hmph! Does the uncle still think that he is the lord who says the same? Or is it the Zongzheng of the Great Zhou? Gone are those days! I really don't believe that at this point, what else is left in your hands! In that case, don't blame the thrifty child for being polite! Since then, no one has competed with me! โ€

He immediately followed by, dropping only one word: "Kill!" โ€

When he landed, a group of masked black-clothed men rushed towards Yu Fuyao and the others.
