Chapter 138: Hot Hands
The interaction between the father and son of Jinyiwei next to him did not affect Zhu Youxiao, he just looked at Xi Li quietly, his eyes showed a trace of nostalgia, and the figure of the Wang family flashed in his mind.
The atmosphere is a little weird and solemn, as time passes, Zhu Huiyuan, the eighth daughter of the emperor, also calmed down a little, in the palace, even if she is well protected by Xi Li, she is also precocious than ordinary children. Although she didn't understand why this earth-shattering battle happened tonight, it didn't prevent her from understanding that it was her crown brother who had the upper hand now.
Suddenly, she shook her little hand vigorously, broke free from Xi Li's clenched hand, and then ran over, knelt in front of Zhu Youxiao, hugged his legs and cried, "Brother, brother prince, you spare your mother, you spare your mother." ”
Beside him, Li Tu, who had been guarding the side, was also slightly relieved when he saw this situation, and the slightly unsheathed knife weight was also newly inserted back.
The little girl's cry was very bleak in the silent night sky, and she screamed and begged for a chance to give her mother a chance to live. Luo Sigong next to him shook his head helplessly, not to mention anything else, just tonight's mutiny, Xi Li will have to die.
Zhu Youxiao's legs struggled slightly, but he didn't break free of the little girl's hands, and he couldn't move even if he tried to walk forward. His movement made the little girl hold on even harder, making him almost unable to move.
"Li Tu!" Zhu Youxiao's calm voice came from under the armor.
Li Tu understood what he meant, stepped forward and bent over, grabbed the little girl's arm, and tried to drag her away, but after pulling twice, he couldn't pull at all, the little girl was like an octopus, her hands and feet were all forced, and she was wrapped around Zhu Youxiao's legs, and he didn't dare to use too much force for a while, for fear of hurting the princess, and the scene was deadlocked.
Luo Sigong on the side hurriedly glanced at him and motioned for his son to step forward, in the brocade guard, there are many ways to make people temporarily weak and lose their strength.
Luo Yangxing bowed slightly, indicating that he understood, he took a deep breath, walked two steps quickly, stretched out his hand and pressed Zhu Huiyuan's squeaky socket and waist, the other party softened, and was dragged down by his arm.
Without any obstacles, Zhu Youxiao stepped forward again, and behind him, the little girl cried bitterly, "Brother Prince, Brother Prince, don't ......"
Zhu Youxiao ignored it, he still stepped on his own unique steps, step by step, each step was very heavy, and down-to-earth, looking at his steps, eight words appeared in everyone's minds for no reason - down-to-earth, thick and thin.
The sound of the clanging armor colliding non-stop, the dark red blood stains looked poignant and abnormal in the moonlight, but the Miao knife in his hand was a man, cutting so many people, the blade was still bright and bright, without the slightest trace, like a clear spring, illuminating people's hearts.
"Mother, the old slave has gone first." Xi Li didn't react, but Cao Huachun smiled bitterly and took out a dagger from his arms. This is the back road he left for himself, in case it really falls into the hands of the prince one day, he can also cut himself off without being tortured.
Over the years, he has just been accustomed to carrying this dagger, thinking that he would be able to remove the terrifying figure that woke him up tonight, but he didn't expect it to be the current scene in the end.
Poof!
Cao Huachun's hand rose and fell, and the right hand holding the dagger pierced his left chest and heart with determination and precision, and the cruel technique killed him instantly, and he never breathed again.
The blood, slowly coming out of the wound, soaked his chest, and then kept spreading, and the lifeless corpse also leaned limply against the wall, and sat down.
"Woo......." Xi Li next to him covered his mouth and let out a whimper. She thought that she could face everything calmly with her full of resentment, but if someone really died in front of them, or after she was close to someone she knew, her courage suddenly disappeared.
When she thought that she was going to become like this later, she was so frightened that she felt that the walls behind her that were still cold just now became hot.
Cao Huachun's decisive suicide made Zhu Youxiao pause, he was really a little surprised that the other party would make such a choice. But it was only for a moment, and his fate was already sealed.
After a slight pause, he took another step, walked the rest of the way, and stood in front of Xi Li.
Squeak, the gate of the Qianqing Palace was opened, and when Zhu Youxiao fell into memory, the elites of Jinyiwei, who were good at flying eaves and walking on the wall, had already climbed to the top with ropes like arhats, captured the forbidden army guarding the door, and opened the palace gate.
"Li, you killed my mother back then, and today is your death, do you have any last words?" Zhu Youxiao raised his head, his eyes were as bright as sparks, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he pronounced the death sentence of Xi Li. The resolute words completely extinguished the last trace of illusion in Xi Li's heart.
It's just that Xi Li hasn't reacted yet, and after her daughter heard the words, her wailing cry was raised by a pitch in vain, crying beyond the limit of the little girl's voice, and it didn't take long for her voice to be hoarse, and she could only let out a hissing cry. The little girl kept struggling, trying to break free from Luo Yangxing's hands, but the strength of a martial arts practitioner was something that a child of about ** years old could compete.
Xi Li raised her head and looked at Zhu Youxiao in front of her, Cao Huachun's death and her daughter's crying had already dissipated the resentment in her heart, and she knew that she couldn't survive, but she also calmed down.
"The mourning family has nothing else to ask for, but to ask the prince to treat my daughter well and find a good family to marry her." Xi Li finished his last words, then let go of Zhu Youzhen, who had been on the bridge, took two steps forward, stood calmly in front of Zhu Youxiao, and stretched out his head to die.
Zhu Youxiao didn't say anything, and the hatred between the two was needless to say. The long knife in his right hand was raised, and in Zhu Huiyuan's desperate and sad gaze, the knife was like a match, and it was slashed down.
Burst!
The blood rushed to the sky, and a head flew three feet above the ground, flying in mid-air before falling to the ground. The splatters of blood flew everywhere, and some of them splashed on Zhu Youzhen's face next to him.
"Ga~"
Reaching out and touching his wet head and face, he put it in front of his eyes, and his entire white palm became blood-red, and without accident, the little boy rolled his eyes, the whites of his eyes were exposed, and he fainted
Grunt.
The head rolled a few times, and the face up stopped, Xi Li's eyes were closed, and her face was calm, obviously she had no regrets in her heart.
"Mother!"
A cry of despair rang out, a voice as hoarse as a bellows, and almost no one believed it was a little girl. Zhu Huiyuan was frantically tearing and beating, Luo Yangxing didn't notice it, and was instantly broken free by her sudden outpouring of energy.
The little girl rushed desperately, hugged her mother's head, threw herself to the ground, and cried loudly. However, her voice was already hoarse, and she couldn't make a sound at all, and I saw her tears keep pouring out, and her mouth kept opening and closing and sobbing, but there was no sound.
The silent crying made all the adults present sink in their hearts, as if something heavy was pressing on their hearts. Luo Yangxing, who originally wanted to rush over and hold the little girl, saw this scene, and subconsciously made his own steps.
"Another head." Qi Jin and Yu Zhigao had different feelings, they had seen a lot of dead people and sorrows, and they didn't take the little girl's sadness and Xi Li's death to heart at all. What they cared more about was Zhu Youxiao's way of killing people that caught their attention.
Five years ago, when His Royal Highness the Crown Prince rushed into battle and beheaded him, the heads of the enemy chieftains soared into the sky, and the killing and sacrificial flags not long ago were the same way, and they are still the same.
"This ......" The two looked at each other, not knowing what kind of omen this was.
Zhu Youxiao stood silently and killed the enemy, but he didn't have the slightest joy in his heart, looking at his sister who was crying so much that he couldn't make a sound, he didn't know what mood he was in at the moment. Sour? Regret? Speechless?
It seems to have both, and it seems to have none. It's just that he knows that tonight's killing is just the beginning, and that tomorrow, in the future, he has more people to kill.
This has nothing to do with morality, if he wants to save the whole of China from tragedy, he must keep killing, keep killing until he can't kill.
"Whoa, whoa!"
A rooster came out of nowhere, and as it walked, it stretched its neck and crowed highly, and under its chirping, a trace of fish belly appeared in the sky.
Then, the entire silhouette of the sun leaps out.
It's dawn!
The morning light slowly emerged, and the sun became more and more, and the morning sun shone on Zhu Youxiao's body, making him warm in vain, as if the haze in his heart had been swept away, and the whole person was comfortable physically and mentally.
"Li fishing, Li Tao! Start taking inventory of the palace! Xie Gao, Zhang Ya, take over the palace gate! Zhu You turned around, called the four battalion commanders one by one, and commanded in a low voice.
"Yes!" Half an hour later, the four of them hugged their fists and took the order. They each led their own soldiers, and began to search with the search experts selected by the Jinyi Guard. According to Zhu Youxiao's meaning, this is a great purge of the palace, not only the defeated soldiers of the forbidden army, but even all the eunuchs and palace maids will be screened and screened, and all their private collection of gold and silver, palace utensils and even weapons will be the focus of the search.
As for the rest of the Jinyi Guard, it is more difficult, their task is to clean up the corpses, a shocking mutiny, it can be said that the order of the entire palace collapsed, not to mention that there are no extra manpower to deal with the corpses, so they can only suffer these Jinyi Guards, make a cameo appearance as a scavenger for a while, and clean up the battlefield.
For this task, Luo Sigong was not so frustrated, and happily took his son to do it, for him, as long as His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has something to use himself, then everything will be fine.
As for Zhu Youxing, he took the cavalry company to collect the wounded soldiers, and he knew very well in his heart that the Yulin Army was his most important honor guard at present, and he must be treated preferentially. Moreover, with his sitting, he can better deal with the injuries of wounded soldiers.
