74. Bitter cold
Judging from the past style of the eight thorns that I bought, it seems that what I said also makes some sense. As the only son of Emperor Xuanguang of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, the legal heir of the Golden Family. At present, his special proton status is destined to save his life while trying to return to China, and he does not dare to tear his face and gamble - because if there is no life, it means that there will be nothing in the future.
So his methods would not be so bloody and violent. If he did this, then according to Zhu Yuanzhang's character of either not doing it or doing it, once he violates the bottom line, he will definitely sacrifice the city wall with the head of the eight thorns he bought.
After thinking about it again, Xu Miaoyi threw the "weapon" like the eight thorns she bought, and said coldly: "Take it and protect yourself." ”
The eight thorns who bought it couldn't help but look at the rolling pin in his hand, "That's it?" ”
Xu Miaoyi secretly thought, you are suspected of escaping anytime and anywhere, how dare I give you a real weapon?
Xu Miaoyi pursed her lips at the man holding the bench beside her, "Why don't you change with him?" ”
Forget it. Holding a rolling pin, he stood behind Xu Miaoyi, followed the team, and shouted the slogan of "catch the spy and avenge the blood", as if he was also a victim.
Xu Miaoyi whispered to her second sister Xu Miaoqing: "This person is very deep in the city, you have to be careful, don't be deceived by his rhetoric." ”
Xu Miaoqing said: "I save - he is the prince of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, right?" The proton that almost kidnapped King Zhou? ”
Xu Miaoyi secretly praised: It seems that the second sister Xu Miaoqing is also very smart and calm, when she heard the name, she felt that his identity was different, even if she was injured, she clutched the sword and refused to let go, for fear that he would run away if he got the blade.
Xu Miaoyi said: "Yes, you are secretly staring at him, if there is any sign of escaping in chaos, don't think too much, give him a sword, as long as you don't kill him on the spot." ”
Xu Miaoqing said: "I know, once we escape under our noses, I'm afraid my father and brothers will be affected." ”
Xu Miaoqing, who grew up in Zhan Yuan, first considered the damage to the interests of the family, but Xu Miaoyi didn't think about it so much - she was unwilling to watch the eight thorns she bought continue to be free, but the real bitter lord Zhou Wang Zhu Hu was imprisoned in the deep palace and was hurt by love.
It's so unfair!
A group of people walked to the vicinity of Tongji Gate, sure enough, there was a turning point, there was a mist in the city tower of Tongji Gate, Xu Miaoyi took a look, and saw that the soldiers of the black pressure had set up the chariot suspension ladder for the siege of the city, the rope was hung on the suspension ladder, and the buckets of river water were poured on the city tower, and the soldiers downstairs were still holding the pump of the neighborhood firefighting, and the entire city tower was soaked in water, just like the white lady's practice of flooding Jinshan Temple.
As the name of Tongji Gate is, there is a lot of water. There is a wide moat in front and the Qinhuai River in the back. The two rivers are like a jade belt sandwiching the Tongji Gate, and it is very convenient to get water.
Xu Miaoyi immediately understood the meaning of commanding the flooded city towers: the destroyed city towers along the road were all blown up by gunpowder, gunpowder was most afraid of water, and the fire rope that lit the fuse was also extinguished when it encountered water. The castle towers were made of bricks and stones in order to prevent fire, so that they were all poured through from the bottom to the top, so that the gunpowder that the Assassins had planted in advance could not be extinguished, and a way of escape was preserved.
While the soldiers were leading water to flood the city tower, the commander of the five cities led by the soldiers and horses also took the lead and rushed up to the city tower with his men, and the assassins on the city tower set up an ambush, taking advantage of the condescending terrain to prevent them from asking for help.
The gunpowder has failed and cannot be ignited, so it can only rely on cold weapons and hand-to-hand combat.
It was a battle of life and death, and both sides were desperate, and the blood mixed with the river washed down, like a hell on earth.
Xu Miaoyi and her party were so loud that they immediately attracted the attention of the warring parties, and an arrow with a note tied to it and an arrow shot in her direction from under the city wall.
Li Jinglong picked it up, handed it to Xu Miaoyi without looking at it, and at this time he was still in the mood to make a grimace and said, "Head, it should be for you." ”
The dignified prince of Cao Guo, but he looks like he is a subservient to Xu Miaoyi.
Xu Miaoyi opened the note, the handwriting on it was very familiar, it was actually Zhu Di, the king of Yan, who she was, and if she could help repel the fine work, she would be rewarded.
Xu Miaoyi dipped a stick in blood and wrote a few words and threw them under the city wall. Then he jumped on the battlements, shook the note in his hand, and said loudly: "This is the handwriting of His Royal Highness King Yan. King Yan said that all the warriors who participated in the killing will be rewarded with one hundred taels of silver each, and the family taxes will be exempted forever! ”
"Whoever kills one enemy will be sealed as a hereditary hundred! Two hundred taels of silver! Those who kill two people will be sealed as hereditary thousands of households, and a reward of three hundred taels of silver! For every person killed, a reward of 100 taels will be added! Who wants to take the castle tower with me and fight to the end with those meticulous workers?! ”
Li Jinglong and the eight thorns he bought looked at each other: This is definitely nonsense, right? How can a short note, a few strokes, be written in such detail?
can see Xu Miaoyi's determined appearance, but it really can't be more real.
This girl is a demagogic liar by nature. What if I can't cash it out? Did she think about the consequences?
There will be brave men under the great reward.
Immediately, more than 200 strong men were eager to try, and there were basically no reliable weapons in their hands, most of them were bricks broken out of the city wall!
Xu Miaoyi dared to be so bold and pretended to pass on King Yan's promise, because she was very sure that the emperor was trapped in the city tower, and how could it be an ordinary person who could let Zhu Di personally lead the troops to rescue?
This is a great opportunity for anyone. Xu Miaoyi led the strong men to rush to the Tongji Gate Tower, since the opponent's firearms had been doused by the river, then she was sure to rely on the tactics of the sea of people to drown the fine workers!
With a sound of the horn, the soldiers under the city wall also rushed up, forming a circle of encirclement. Seeing that the general trend was gone, the dead soldiers slashed towards the royal guards even more frantically, and the white-haired warriors led by them were all drenched in the river, and shouted loudly:
"Warriors under King Wu! Just go one step further and knock down the human wall, and you can kill the dog thief Zhu Yuanzhang inside! Zhu Yuanzhang killed my King Wu and insulted the innocence of my county lord! With such an insult, how can we see King Wu under the Nine Springs? Kill Yuanzhang! Kill Yuanzhang! ”
Suddenly, the morale was shocked, and all the dead soldiers were destroyed, and the swords in their hands were dyed with blood by the blood light that spewed out.
Zhu Yuanzhang's ear hole was shocked with blood, and he had just recovered some of his hearing at this time, but he had a splitting headache, and he couldn't hear what the dead soldiers were shouting at all, as if he had been shouting "Kill-kill-kill!" ”
Empress Ma immediately understood that the assassin was a subordinate of Zhang Shicheng, the former king of Wu in Suzhou, who had been waiting for an opportunity, probably recently learned that the county lord of Yong'an was under house arrest Huxin Xiaozhu, and was pregnant with the heir of Zhu Yuanzhang, the enemy of the sect, and felt greatly insulted, and made such a desperate move as assassinating the emperor.
Alas, repentance should not be ...... Queen Ma looked at Zhu Yuanzhang with a complicated mood, in fact, her husband doesn't like beauty, he just naturally loves to conquer.
The husband's biggest opponents in the past were none other than Chen Youliang and Zhang Shicheng. The husband killed Chen Youliang, robbed his most beloved concubine Dashi, and named her a concubine. Concubine Dading gave birth to two princes for him.
After her husband killed Zhang Shicheng, he killed his horse and put his daughter Yongan County Lord under house arrest in the middle of the lake, and now the county lord is also pregnant......
Chen Youliang died earlier, and the forces in the open and in the dark have been uprooted. And Zhang Shicheng is too powerful, and his forces are intertwined, so he actually hid such a terrible force in Jinling, and after finding out that the county lord of Yong'an was still alive and pregnant, he fought back regardless of the assassination!
The wall of guards became thinner and thinner, and in a trance, Queen Ma seemed to see the light of the assassins' knives, she took out the dagger, put it in Zhu Yuanzhang's hand, and wrote in the palm of his hand: "Kill me, and then commit suicide." Even if he dies, he must die with the dignity of the emperor and queen, and he cannot be a prisoner. ”
Zhu Yuanzhang held the dagger, nodded with difficulty, and said, "The prince is an adult." If there is an afterlife, then become husband and wife. ”
Are you still a husband and wife? Queen Ma was a little hesitant, after half a lifetime of war and various struggles, she and her husband finally became the final victor, but unfortunately she did not give birth to a prince, and the heir of Zhu Ming Jiangshan in the future has no blood relationship with her.
But it doesn't seem to matter, after all, he has given me supreme glory and a life of ups and downs. Queen Ma nodded and wrote in the palm of his hand: "If there is an afterlife, be a peaceful couple." ”
At this point, the last of the human walls also fell.
Zhu Yuanzhang was about to make a move, and the assassins at the end of the crossbow were suddenly overwhelmed by a sea of people with thousands of strange weapons!
Under the heavy reward, the assassins were almost brutally dismembered by the sea of people, twisting their arms and taking their heads, ready to ask for merit and reward.
The leader of the assassins struggled in a pool of blood, and Xu Miaoyi asked, "You know that the county lord of Yong'an is not dead, why do you insist on assassinating the emperor?" You can obviously take these people into the small building in the middle of the lake and snatch the county lord away. ”
The leader said coldly: "The county lord of Yong'an is the only bloodline of King Wu, but although she is alive, she is actually dead to us. The body was defiled by Zhu Yuanzhang, and he was still pregnant with the evil seed of the Zhu family! Once a woman becomes a mother, she is soft-hearted and goes to her husband's family! What's the use of saving her! ”
"I have lost all my reputation, and I am still surviving, and I have become the plaything of the enemies who destroy the door. She is no longer the lord of Yong'an, she is a disgrace to King Wu! ”
The leader was then dismembered by the sea.
Xu Miaoyi felt a bitter cold: the county lord of Yong'an endured humiliation and stole his life, and never gave up the last seemingly ethereal hope. But as everyone knows, he has been abandoned by his own people, regarded as an outcast, and even a stain.
After this failed assassination operation, the county lord of Yong'an is afraid that his life will not be saved.
Pathetic, pathetic, pitiful.
