Inside the Prince's Mansion. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Ren Xiaoyao kept wiping the cold sweat, and smiled at a woman sitting in the middle of the front hall, the laughter was very dry, and even he sounded like he was sawing wood, "crunch, crunch......"

He faintly regretted his reckless behavior of raiding the Prince's Mansion this time. Now his only thought is to find Xiao Huaiyuan, pull out the dog thing that gave him a bad idea, and chop it into dog meat sauce.

Regret comes from the woman in white clothes and plain skirts in front of her, the legendary crown princess, if her husband does not rebel, within a month, she may be the queen of the Chinese Dynasty and the mother of a country.

It is said that the dehaired phoenix is not as good as a chicken, but even if the phoenix in front of Ren Xiaoyao fades like a white-skinned pig, he feels that it is far more majestic than a chicken.

It is undeniable that the crown princess is a beauty, and it is said that the ancestor of her mother's family is still a certain founding prince, and her hereditary title is deeply respected by the emperor, which is not the point.

The point is that this princess is too cold, she did not let Xiaoyao imagine the command, can not be a lifetime, and did not feel the slightest fear of the city defense soldiers rushing into the house to raid the house, from the first time Ren Xiaoyao stepped into the front hall, he saw the princess sitting on the upper seat, constantly turning the Buddhist beads in her hands, I don't know which heart sutra she was reciting.

Her expression was very indifferent, as if even if she killed her with a knife, she would not think that there was anything wrong with you doing this, and the emotions of joy, anger and sorrow that people should have seemed to disappear from her, and she only heard the low sound of chanting, and nothing else.

Ren Xiaoyao and Wen Sen have never opened their eyes or ignored them since they stepped into the temple door and stood until now.

Because of this, Ren Xiaoyao hurriedly ordered the soldiers who were smashing and looting outside to stop and assemble in the courtyard in front of the front hall, and they were not allowed to move. In front of such an unearthly woman, any uncivilized actions and words seemed to be a kind of blasphemy against her, and Ren Xiaoyao did not dare to make a mistake in front of her, looking at the serene and clear color on her face, there was a faint urge to bow and worship in his heart. He definitely didn't expect that the prince's wife was actually a ...... Religious people?

What a sin...... Robbery is not a drop.

"Hey, did you think she was chanting a mantra for us?" After standing for a long time, Ren Xiaoyao began to get bored, gently poked Wen Sen beside him, and whispered.

Vinson frowned: "Won't it?" Aren't all Buddhist scriptures for all sentient beings? Is there a sutra for mantras? ”

Ren Yao glared at him with disdain: "Uneducated, right?" Isn't there the "Jizo Sutra" and "Amitayus Sutra" in the Buddhist scriptures that transcend the soul? Do you think that if she recites the Sutra of Transcendence to the two of us big living people, will she be obscure? ”

Vinson was speechless: "......"

Ren Xiaoyao sighed and muttered, "The prince is creating evil!" How can you say he could be so ruthless? Leave his wife at home, and go out of the city to rebel, he is not qualified to be a man, if he becomes the emperor in the future, won't the people suffer even more? ”

Wen Sen said with a smile: "My lord, please forgive my subordinates for saying bluntly, the reason why the prince is relieved to leave his family in the capital is because he is too confident, thinking that this battle will be won, and when he returns to Beijing, it will be when he ascends the throne as emperor, he is very sure that no one dares to embarrass his family when the situation outside the city is not clear." ”

Ren Xiaoyao snorted: "What are you talking about?" Who says no one dares? Won't I lead the troops into the Prince's Mansion today? ”

Vincent hurriedly slapped his ass: "So the prince deeply underestimated the shamelessness of adults...... Ahem, surprise win, surprise win......"

Let it be a pleasure.

The chanting in the front hall suddenly stopped, and the crown princess suddenly opened her eyes, looked at Ren Xiaoyao for a moment, and then said lightly: "This, isn't it Lord Ren who is full of Beijing masters?" ”

The voice is crisp, but with a coldness that goes deep into the bones.

Ren Xiaoyao hurriedly arched his hand solemnly and said: "Your Majesty, Ren Xiaoyao, I have seen the crown princess." ”

The crown princess raised her eyes, lowered her eyelids again, and said indifferently: "Don't call it that, my lord, the poor nun can't afford it." ”

"Poor nuns?" Ren Xiaoyao and Vincent exclaimed in unison.

The crown princess smiled calmly, then folded her salute and said, "The crown princess is dead, and now in front of you is a bhikshuni under the Buddha's seat, with the Dharma name Huiguang." ”

Ren Xiaoyao stared at him and said with a straight face: "...... When did the crown princess die? Suicide or homicide? Does it have anything to do with you? Why are you sitting here when you're not the crown princess? ”

The crown princess smiled slightly and said no more.

Vincent was full of black lines, hurriedly pulled Ren Yao's sleeve, and whispered, "My lord, my lord!" You are mistaken! This is the crown princess, oops! Those who have escaped into the empty door are like yesterday's death, my lord, you have misunderstood......"

Ren Xiaoyao was stunned, and hurriedly smiled dryly: "Huh? It turns out that you are really the crown princess, Gaga, I said it earlier, and what did you say that you are dead, the mother really loves to joke, Huiguang Huiguang,...... Who gave you the nickname Huiguang? It's so rude......"

Vinson felt the urge to cry, and it became stronger and stronger: "My lord...... Huiguang is a legal name, not a nickname......"

Having such an innocent boss is really a blessing from his three lives.

Ren Xiaoyao is also full of embarrassment, damn! It's a shame to be wrong again and again. ――Anyway, the name of Huiguang is not very good, how can I have the nickname of "Jade-faced Flying Dragon" to be majestic......

"Hehe, Xia Guan understands, the crown princess is empty, the nun is also empty, life is empty, death is empty, anyway, whatever it is, it can be explained in one word, that is, 'empty', right? Crown Princess, uh, Hui ...... Master of Light. Lord Ren made amends the loss of the sheep and hurriedly showed off the little bit of wit he knew.

The crown princess smiled slightly: "It turns out that Lord Ren also has a lot of wisdom, but he has a relationship with my Buddhism......"

Ren Xiaoyao was shocked, and quickly shook his head: "No fate, no fate, don't misunderstand, master, I don't have time to be a monk, there are many dust, and there are many people waiting for me to save ......"

Especially women from good families.

"Your Excellency is here today to raid the Prince's Mansion?" The crown princess turned the Buddha beads in her hand indifferently and asked softly.

"Uh......" Ren Xiaoyao was asked with a big red face, originally he really wanted to copy the prince's mansion upside down, but he didn't expect that the prince's wife was not only a person outside the people, but also so out of the world, in front of her to rob and rob the house, Ren Xiaoyao felt a little unable to wipe his face, he was not afraid of others beating, not afraid of being scolded by others, he was afraid that others would be indifferent and look at each other coldly, which would make him have an inferiority complex that he was a clown.

"No, no...... Hehe, I led the troops to patrol the streets today, and when I saw that the prince's mansion was so magnificent, I couldn't help but come in and visit it to express my reverence for the prince...... Right? ”

"Yes, yes, we're just coming in for a visit......," Vinson hurriedly echoed.

The crown princess sighed faintly and said, "He's outside the city...... Is the army defeated? ”

He? Prince?

The crown princess glanced at the two of them and said lightly: "The two of you don't have to be polite, the poor nun is a person outside the office, and he has long ignored this red dust matter." In fact, the poor nun knew that a few years ago, he was busy plotting and arranging, and yesterday he and the emperor went out of the city to worship the sky, so it must be the time for a decisive battle, right? ”

Ren Xiaoyao blinked and said, "Since you already knew that he was plotting to rebel, why didn't you persuade him?" ”

The crown princess smiled bitterly: "The poor nun has been persuaded countless times, the so-called planting good causes, getting good results, and vice versa, but he didn't listen to my advice, obsessed with power, and insisted on going his own way. ”

Ren Xiaoyao suddenly, he has been wondering, I don't know what the prince did to her, forcing his wife to become a nun, so it is.

"Today, the Lord led the troops to the door, presumably at this time, he has already been defeated outside the city, right?" The face of the crown princess Gu Jing Bubo was filled with a somewhat faint and complicated look.

"It's not defeated yet, but it's almost ......," Ren Xiaoyao said honestly.

The crown princess sighed and said: "Since he sows the cause of evil, he should reap the fruit of evil, this is his life......"

Saying that, the crown princess stood up, her expression was empty: "Everything is empty, what are you doing with the gold and silver of this mansion?" Just do whatever you want, don't worry about the poor nuns, just hope that the adults will not cause evil in this mansion, and the poor nuns will be grateful. ”

"The crown princess, the lower officials still have something to ask for."

"Your Excellency, please speak."

"Please follow the subordinate to the North City Tower, the prince's defeated army may come to the city, please persuade the prince to surrender at that time, don't let the soldiers of the two terms die in vain."

The crown princess nodded: "Okay, poor nun promise you." Lord Ren saves the living soul, it is an act of blessing, Amitabha, good, good......"

Ren Xiaoyao hurriedly said politely: "Don't dare, don't dare, be good together, be good together......"

Damn, if it weren't for the fear that the treasury would not have enough silver, the emperor might have beaten me up for the idea of beating my pocket, and they would fight to death, and it was my business!

The crown princess hesitated for a moment, took out a thin notebook from her sleeve, handed it to Ren Xiaoyao, and said, "This is what he handed over to the poor nun before leaving, and asked the poor nun to keep it properly, maybe this book is very important to him......

The crown princess then sighed and said, "Now it seems that he doesn't need it, so why bother ......"

Ren Xiaoyao took the notebook, opened it and looked at it with Wen Sen, and couldn't help but be surprised: "Jiangnan Qifu ......"

The two had a very tacit understanding at the same time, shut up and glanced at each other, Ren Xiaoyao hurriedly put the book in his arms, and said with a straight face: "This thing is really important, and the lower official thanked the princess and the princess for knowing the righteousness!" ”

Then Ren Xiaoyao called a team of soldiers over and ordered the sedan chair to be prepared and sent the princess to the city tower.

The crown princess got up and walked out of the mansion, her expression a little gloomy, and the not-so-quiet whispers of Ren Xiaoyao and Wen Sen behind her came into her ears.

"Hey, do you think she's a real nun or a fake nun?"

"My lord, she must be a real nun."

"I don't think so, real nuns are bald, she is not."

"People are the ...... who lead the practice"

"How do you know? Maybe she is chanting Amitabha Buddha in her mouth, but she is hiding behind her back and quietly eating meat, have you ever seen the skin on the face of a person who does not eat meat still so smooth? ”

"Shhh The adults are really like torches, and they are observant......"

The crown princess's face suddenly turned a little blue, and the hand in her sleeve pinched the Buddha beads fiercely, and she couldn't help but chant silently in her heart: "Amitabha, don't commit hatred, don't commit hatred, sin, sin......"

"Horn!"

The beads are broken.

β€»β€»β€»

At the top of Shenlie Mountain, the commander of the forbidden army is wielding a sword in his hand, and is leading his soldiers to fight to the death with the rebels.

Due to excessive casualties, the defense line of the forbidden army has been broken, the rebels have attacked the top of the mountain, the soldiers of the forbidden army are fighting separately at this time, the square in front of the Temple of Heaven is full of blood, the corpses of the soldiers who died in battle are piled up, and the corpses are still increasing, and the battle is extremely cruel and tragic.

The strength of the forbidden army was less than 1,000, of which 200 people held the mountain path where the emperor and his ministers descended the mountain, so as not to let the rebels cross a step, and the rest fought fiercely with the rebels who were constantly pouring up in the square.

The Commander gritted his teeth, he was covered in blood, he couldn't tell if it was his own or his enemy, and his face was cut from his forehead to his chin, and his face was covered with blood, making him look like a bloodthirsty demon king crawling out of hell, which was terrifying.

The sword stabbed out, and a rebel soldier fell to the ground with a wail, and the commander wiped a handful of blood from his face, and glanced at the square where the battle was being captured, with a bit of despair and heroism on his face.

There are more than 5,000 soldiers of the forbidden army, and now there is only so much left, everyone else has died in battle, how long can the living brothers live?

Emperor...... Surely it's safe, right? General Feng's soldiers may have successfully welcomed him into the rear camp of the Longwu Army, have we accomplished our mission?

"Brothers, keep it up! Killing one is enough, killing two and we'll earn it! The Commander laughed as if he had left his last words before he died.

"Kill!"

Although they were physically and mentally exhausted and were about to fall, the morale of the soldiers of the forbidden army was still high.

A rebel general in dark red armor stood on a high place with a knife, looking at the fierce fighting soldiers in the square, his eyes were full of fear and worry.

This offensive and defensive battle was carried out extremely hard, the forbidden army with less than a quarter of their strength, held the hilltop square for a whole hour, this strange army with the task of killing the emperor, but now even the small 5,000 forbidden army has not been annihilated, the emperor and the ministers have long been gone, this unfavorable situation makes the generals feel a little desperate.

If the emperor doesn't die, what's the point of his wonder army? How to explain to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? What hope is there for victory in this battle for power?

What he was most puzzled about now was that this forbidden army of 5,000 people seemed to have been prepared for his sneak attack, and when he saw the soldiers of the forbidden army facing them in the hilltop square, his heart was half cold, and at that time he knew that the sneak attack had completely failed, and he had already lined up his formation, so he was waiting for them all the time.

But...... How did they know there was going to be such a sneak attack? It's a question that baffles him even now.

"Order, divide 5,000 troops, kill the 200 forbidden troops who are guarding the mountain road, and the rest of the soldiers will do their best to annihilate the remnants of the army in the square." The rebel general coldly ordered.

He saw the key, the emperor and his ministers must have fled down the mountain along the mountain road, as long as the forbidden army guarding the mountain road was killed, and the soldiers chased and killed all the way, maybe he still had hope of killing the emperor.

"Knock Knock"

The drums of war were beating, the flags were waved, and the rebel soldiers launched the fiercest attack on the remnants of the forbidden army as if they were crazy, staring at them with blood-red eyes.

"Come on! Dog day! Even if you kill all of Lao Tzu, you will lose! Your calculations have failed! Hahahaha! The commander of the Forbidden Army staggered and laughed violently.

"Brothers, the time has come to kill yourself and be loyal to the emperor!"

"Be loyal! Faithful! The roar of the forbidden soldiers echoed through the valley, and the sound shook and fiercely violent.

The rebel general looked frightened, brandished his long knife and roared: "Kill them!" Kill them all! ”

As if laughing at his impatience, at this moment, to the north of the mountaintop, the rebels attacked Ren Xiang, and suddenly there was a sharp roar of arrows.

The rebel generals hurriedly looked back, but saw a big flag with black letters on a red background, shining on the cascading mountains, against the background of the lush green leaves of the mountains and forests, which looked so dazzling and dazzling.

There are three big characters written on the banner "Xiazhou, Dong".

All the people who fought fiercely in the square were stunned. They all had different expressions, some with fear on their faces, others with surprise.

The commander of the forbidden army was under the command of a puffer, and then quickly reacted, looking up to the sky and laughing, the laughter breaking the temporary silence in the square.

"It's coming! Reinforcements are coming! Ha ha! The Xiazhou Border Army, the Xiazhou Border Army, which was secretly transferred by the Lord, is finally here! Holy shit, you're dead! Hahahaha......"

As if in response to his laughter, the military flags were displayed one after another all over the mountains, and then, the soldiers in gray border military uniforms showed their figures one by one in the lush mountains and forests, and there were more and more figures, until finally, the emerald green mountains all turned into a gray sea of people.

"Knock Knock"

The sonic war drums beat and the shouts of killing were like a landslide and tsunami, and the gray sea of people moved rapidly, converging into a monstrous wave, which swept away towards the square mercilessly and fiercely.

"Kill!"

The roar startled a flock of birds perched in the mountains and forests, flapping their wings and flying towards the sky.

The rebel general's face turned pale, and his eyes were already a look of despair.

It's over, His Royal Highness the Prince, it's all over!

β€»β€»β€»

The prince sat on the luxurious and poor imperial chariot, opened the beaded curtain of the imperial chariot, and looked at the group of remnants of less than 10,000 soldiers behind him, and his heart was gloomy.

Although he fled with the remnants, he was still reluctant to accept this luxurious imperial guard of honor, which was the only thing he could prove that he was still the prince of the Hua Dynasty.

Han Dashi's Long Xiang army chased after him, and it was almost to the north bank of the Yangtze River, if there was no more battle report of the strange army on the top of Shenlie Mountain, the prince would have to turn around and continue to flee in a different direction until the final result of the gambling game was revealed, lose or win, and that's it.

Looking at the misty Shenlie Mountain not far away, the prince sighed leisurely. For some reason, there was always an ominous premonition in his heart at this moment, and he always felt as if he had missed something, miscalculated......

As if confirming his premonition, Fan Rui stumbled from the rear team, stopped in front of the royal chariot, and shouted in a sad voice: "Your Highness, Your Highness, it's not good!" ”

The prince's heart was lifted in vain, and he opened the bead curtain and asked urgently, "What's wrong?" ”

Fan Rui, who is usually calm and wise, was full of tears on his face at this time, and his expression was desperate.

"Your Highness...... As soon as the military report came, the emperor and the ministers had successfully entered the camp of the Longwu Army, as well as the surprise army that attacked Shenlie Mountain,...... It's all gone! Fan Rui held the wheel and cried loudly.

The ending was revealed, he lost the bet, and the prince also lost the bet.

Winners are chasing after them to get their winnings back.

The stakes are the life of the loser.

Prince Muran stood on the wheel, his face turned pale, like a dead man, his body kept shaking and trembling.

It's all over! The emperor is the master of the world, and he has had a dream for more than ten years, but when he thought it was about to come true, it suddenly collapsed, and it turned out that all this did not belong to him at all. His end, at the moment when he rebelled, was already doomed.

The prince smiled miserably, the taste of failure was so bitter, this was the first and last failure in his life.

Fan Rui was shocked, and hurriedly climbed up to the imperial chariot to support the prince's body that was about to fall.

"Your Highness, take care, we still have hope, as long as we cross the Yangtze River and go north until Youzhou, we still have a chance to make a comeback!" Fan Rui was relieved.

"No, no, it's just the Yangtze River! Lone would rather die than be the lost dog! The prince's lips trembled, and he still gritted his teeth.

"Your Highness! Why did His Royal Highness insist on going his own way...... "Fan Rui couldn't stop crying, his net worth and life were all on the prince, and now it seems that he has lost all his money.

The prince looked stunned for a long time, and suddenly his spirit perked up, and the look of defeat and despair on his face quickly disappeared, he licked his dry lips, excited like a gambler who had lost all his money, and found the gambling money that could be turned over.

"No, sir, let's go back to the capital! Sir, we still have a chance! The prince grabbed Fan Rui's shoulders hard, his face turned red, and he said excitedly: "We still have a chance!" Sir, have you forgotten the city defense army in the capital? And Qin Chong? We still have 50,000 soldiers and horses in our hands, and we can fight again, do you think so, sir? ”

Fan Rui looked depressed and sighed heavily.

The battle began yesterday, and until now, the crown prince and his every move seem to have fallen into the emperor's calculations, and the capital occupies a very important position in the emperor's heart, will he not have an arrangement? He will let him stay in the capital, presumably not just as simple as a general defending the city.

It seems that the future is bright, but in fact you are cornered, Your Royal Highness the Prince, why are you unwilling to admit defeat?

"Order, the rear team will change to the front team, and the whole army will march rapidly to the west, bypass the pursuers, and then turn south and march towards the capital!"

The prince stood on the wheel of the car and excitedly gave the military order, his expression like a madman who had lost his mind.

Inside the tent of the commander of the camp of the Longwu Army of Shenlie Mountain.

Walking all the way down the mountain, the emperor was exhausted, lying on a soft couch, closing his eyes and saying nothing. His face was like gold paper, cold sweat kept flowing out, and the accompanying palace doctor hurriedly took the pulse to diagnose and treat the emperor, and the fat man sat in front of the emperor, holding the emperor's dry hand, with a worried face. Now in his eyes, he is no longer the majestic emperor who is high up and has a straight face all the time, but just an old man who has run out of oil and lamps, and his days to live in the world are numbered, and this old man is his father, the father who has never given him many smiles in his life.

After a long time, the imperial doctor stood up, sighed with a heavy face, and then walked to the front of the bookcase to open the pen, and the eunuch on the side helped to polish the ink. Soon a small yellow door rushed out and went as the decoction went.

"Imperial Doctor Wu, how is the situation of my father?" The fat man let go of the emperor's hand, walked to the imperial doctor, and asked quietly.

Imperial Doctor Wu looked at the fat man and shook his head: "His Royal Highness King Fu, the lower officials are incompetent, I am afraid that the emperor's illness has no medicine to treat, and the prince's rebellion has made the already sick emperor's heart more and more depressed, resulting in poor blood and qi, and the qi and veins are weak, and the limit is ...... Not far away! ”

The fat man was shocked, and then his face appeared with deep grief, his eyes moistened, and tears soon fell.

Turning his head and looking at the pale father on the soft couch, the fat man looked sad, begged at Imperial Doctor Wu, and said, "Can you think of another way?" Do you need any rare medicines? This king is willing to ask for a great deal of money. I just hope that Imperial Doctor Wu can heal his father, at least ...... Live a few more years. ”

Imperial Doctor Wu shook his head and sighed: "Medicine doctors don't die of diseases, and Buddha is destined to be a person." His Royal Highness King Fu, Your Majesty the Emperor...... After all, I'm old. Xia Guan can only use some gentle and gentle medicine to slowly recuperate, maybe the emperor can last a few more days. ”

"No, Imperial Doctor Wu, you have to ......"

"No disease, you can't do anything, you can't force it, don't embarrass Imperial Doctor Wu." The emperor who was lying on the soft couch suddenly opened his eyes and said weakly.

"Father......" The fat man knelt in front of the emperor's bed, crying silently.

The emperor smiled, stroked the fat man's head lovingly, and said in a deep voice: "Go and Xuan Feng Qiudao come in, I have something to explain." ”

Feng Qiudao came to see him proudly and knelt down on one knee in front of the emperor to salute.

"Feng Qiudao, in yesterday's battle, how were the casualties of the Long Wu Army?"

"Back to the emperor, there are more than 50,000 people in the Longwu army, more than 10,000 casualties after the fierce battle, and there are still 40,000 soldiers and horses."

"The crown prince was defeated and retreated, and with his nature, he would not want to cross the Yangtze River north, but would pin his hopes on Qin Chong, the deputy general of the city defense army in the capital, so he would lead the remnants to bypass Han Dashi's pursuers and go south to the capital. …… Ordered the army to pull out, and sent a fast horse to tell Han Dashi and the Xiazhou border army Dong Cheng on the top of the mountain, your three-way army is divided into east, west, and north, and march to the capital together, and surround the prince's rebel army outside the capital. ”

Feng Qiudao took the order and left, and soon there was a commotion outside the tent, the war horses roared, the soldiers moved, and the baggage was carried, everything was carried out in an orderly manner.
