Episode 28 Chapter 8 Family Catastrophe

According to Imaxi's introduction, there really wasn't anything serious last night, just a few people died - of course, the death of people happens every day, and the death of this time is not an important person, let alone unusual, but the death of a commander-in-chief, a presidential leader, a military affairs director, a commander of the Praetorian Guard, a deputy commander of the Central Army, plus twenty or thirty red-clothed flags or flags.

The culprit is the presidential leader Luo Minghai. He brazenly plotted against the king last night, not only killed His Royal Highness the Commander-General, but also killed Lord Sterling, Lord Pigu, Lord Qin Lu and other important military ministers. Obviously, Luo Minghai's rebellious purpose is to add a yellow robe and establish himself as the commander-in-chief. Fortunately, the conspiracy was detected by the Ombudsman. Lord Di Lin acted in a timely and swift manner, thwarting Luo Minghai's rebels and crushing them. Luo Minghai's remnants were desperate, and they actually coerced His Highness Ning and guarded the governor's mansion. Now, Lord Dilin is leading the loyal and brave soldiers of the Supervision Department to fight a fierce battle with Luo Minghai's rebels in the Governor's Mansion, and I believe that with the divine power of Lord Dilin and the bravery of the soldiers of the Supervision Department, it is only a matter of time before the Governor's Mansion is successfully quelled.

When Jinxi was introduced, Lin Bingyu did not move the ice and snow, the only exception was when she heard the news of Sterling's death, she raised her eyebrows and shouted: "Lord Sterling has been martyred?" That's not true, is it? ”

Hearing this news, Xia Guan also felt the same grief. But unfortunately, this news has already been confirmed. We also collected the body of Lord Stirling, and Lord Dilin personally confirmed that it was indeed himβ€”by the way, Lord Dilin was also very sad, and when he saw the body of Lord Dilin, he had already fainted. ”

"It's better if Di Lin dies!" Lin Bing cursed viciously in his heart, but his face returned to calm: "After capturing the Governor's Mansion - I mean, after destroying the rebels, what is Your Excellency Di Lin going to do?" ”

Jinxi sighed and looked very worried: "This is also a problem that Lord Dilin is worried about!" His Royal Highness the Commander-in-Chief was killed, and His Highness Ning was coerced by Luo Minghai's rebels. So far, his whereabouts are unknown, and it is estimated that he is less lucky. We don't want to think about it, but we have to consider this possibility: once the two highnesses are gone, who will preside over the great cause of the family? ”

Lin Bing sneered: "Lord Dilin, who is wise and brave, thwarted Luo Minghai's conspiracy to rebel and saved the family, who can achieve such great achievements?" Naturally, it was up to him to preside over the family business! Does anyone still have any doubts about this? If there are such people who don't know the big picture. You don't have to be polite, you can use bayonets and spears to teach him well! ”

As if he couldn't hear Lin Bing's sarcasm, Jinxi Hongyi Qiben smiled and said, "What Lord Lin said is very true. Although in terms of merit alone, Lord Di Lin is indeed well-deserved, but he is noble and bright, and he has never coveted the family throne. ”

Lin Bing sneered: "Oh? So what does Lord Dilin, who is high and bright, want to do? ”

"Luo Minghai conspired against him, the two highnesses left together, the family lacked the backbone, and no one presided over the overall situation. If one is not good, it may fall apart, which is very dangerous. Lord Dilin was very worried about this, and he wanted to invite all the commandersβ€”that is, the commander of Xiuchuan in the Far East, the commander of Minghui in the northwest, and, of course, the chief of staff in the imperial capital, Lord Goshanβ€”to return to the imperial capital, and everyone spoke freely and discussed a solution in person. ”

What does Dilin want to do?

Lin Bing frowned slightly, thinking about Di Lin's intentions in his heart, and asked casually and perfunctorily: "Lord Goshan, is she safe and sound?" ”

"Thanks to heaven, Your Excellency Goshan is safe and sound, and I have not been harmed by Luo Minghai's traitors, and my family has finally maintained a vitality." Jinxi sighed, and said very sincerely: "Last night, the elite of my family was lost, and it was really a big injury!" ”

Lin Bing sneered, but remained silent.

"Therefore, if there is anything to say, everyone can sit down and talk, and they can always negotiate a solution, and there is no need to use knives and fights - the current situation of the family cannot withstand any chaos. Lord Lin, please convey our words to Commander Xiuchuan in time, and ask him to enter Beijing as soon as possible for the sake of the family's great business, and discuss major matters to calm the people's hearts and the situation! ”

If I were Zichuan Xiu, the fool would return to the imperial capital at this time - it would be okay to come back, and bring 200,000 Far Eastern troops with me!

Lin Bing sneered, but the expression on his face slowed down: "Your Excellency Jinxi, you are right, the family really can't withstand the chaos anymore. I'll ...... what you mean."

Imashi hurriedly added, "It's not what we mean, it's what Lord Dilin means." ”

"I will convey the meaning of Lord Dilin to Lord Xiuchuan in time. How to deal with it, I think Hidekawa-sama will think carefully and then decide carefully. ”

Imanishi smiled sincerely: "That's great! Lord Lin, you are the trusted general of Lord Xiuchuan, and I hope that you can mediate one or two in it, so as to help restore peace to the overall situation as soon as possible. He and Lu Zhen exchanged glances, and the two of them got up and stood up at the same time: "Lord Lin is busy with affairs, so we won't bother much." Colleagues in the Supervision Department are looking forward to it, hoping that Lord Xiuchuan will enter Beijing as soon as possible to stabilize the situation. ”

"I also hope that peace will be restored soon, but ......"

The two military judges froze and looked at each other in unison.

Lin Bing stared at Lu Zhen's red-clothed banner book, who had been silent: "The political struggle is originally life and death, the emperor is defeated, the man riskes his life to fight, he is willing to gamble and lose, and there is nothing to complain about if he loses his life, but the disaster is not as good as his wife and children!" Their families β€” wives, parents, children β€” are innocent. Lord Stirling was martyred, where is his wife? Lu Zhen, you tell me! ”

Lu Zhen was stunned for a moment and replied: "It was very chaotic last night, we don't know the whereabouts of Li Qinghong's red clothes......

Jinxi Hongyi Qiben interjected: "My lord, Your Excellency Li Qing Hongyi was surrounded by Luo Minghai's rebellious army last night, if you ...... I'm afraid it's also more auspicious. ”

"I don't want to listen to I'm afraid!" Lin Bing interrupted abruptly, "His Royal Highness Ning is Lord Xiuchuan's sister, and Li Qing is the widow of Lord Xiuchuan's brotherβ€”the Supervision Department is responsible for their safety!" If they have any mistakes, whether it is a natural disaster or a man-made disaster, then ...... You bear all the consequences! Go back and tell Dilin that this is what our Far Eastern Army wants! ”

Lin Bing's voice was not high, and her expression was not fierce, but in her faint words, a kind of cold light with a sharp bayonet came to her face, and the two red-clothed flags were all awe-inspiring. Although Lin Bing is just a woman. And they are under the control of the Inspectorate, but at this moment, neither of them dares to be rude to her, and they dare not continue to insult her intelligence with those ridiculous and stupid lies. Behind this elegant woman is the 300,000 strong soldiers of the Far East, the army of the entire Demon Kingdom, and the leader of them is the contemporary famous general Zichuan Xiu, who has never been defeated.

"Lord Lin. We have understood what you said, and we will report back to Lord Dilin. There was no longer an innocent and pure smile on his face, and his expression was solemn. At this time, he really looked like a professional intelligence officer who controlled the internal intelligence agency, and even his words seemed to have a bloody smell of serious killing: "I hope you and Lord Xiuchuan will also consider Lord Dilin's suggestion." The matter has come to this point, and it is useless to use the spirit to do things in the overall situation, and the combination is two benefits, and the division is two harms, Lord Xiuchuan must be cautious! ”

Lin Bing's eyes narrowed, she leaned back on the back of the chair, and said coldly: Your Excellency Jinxi, are you threatening our Lord Xiuchuan? ”

Jinxi smiled: "The lower officials don't dare." Hidekawa-sama is the number one general in my family, and he is in charge of heavy troops. Invincible, who is the lower official, how dare to offend his old man's tiger power? Xia Guan just elaborated on the fact that with the family as the backing, Lord Xiuchuan can rest assured that he can expand his territory in the Far East, and there are no more worries - Lord Lin, I think you also agree with this, right? ”

Lin Bing snorted coldly and stopped making a sound.

"Lord Lin is busy, so we won't bother much."

The two military judges stood up, bowed, and left. At the time of departure. Lu Zhen paused at the door, and his right hand seemed to touch the door inadvertently. Seeing their backs disappear at the door, Lin Bing stepped forward and picked up a very small folded note on the ground next to the door.

opened the note, she hurriedly read the contents on it, and a mocking sneer appeared on the corner of her mouth: "The two ends of the rat's head, swaying." That coward, he really never changed! ”

Having worked with Lu Zhen, Lin Bing is well aware of his shortcomings. Lu Zhen is usually thoughtful. But he has a fatal flaw: he is timid as a mouse. For those who might threaten his life, he immediately retreated. He lacked the courage and firm stance to fight a bloody battle against a strong enemy, and he was easily shaken. Lin Bing didn't pay much attention to this person, she paid more attention to the director of the Third Division, Jinxi, who came with Lu Zhen. When facing him, Lin Bing felt like he was β€” how to put it β€” against a beast in a suit and tie. Although he was polite and even overly polite, Lin Bing could still feel a chilling aura in him, and the strong smell of blood could not be concealed.

Strangely, I had never heard his name before.

Lin Bing thought silently: The Supervision Department is really a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger! So many talented people are desperately following you to rebel, Dillin, how did you do it? ”

When Lu Zhen and Kinsai returned to the headquarters, the first thing Gopra said to greet them at the door was, "Your Excellency has woken up." ”

"Your Excellency woke up?" The two red-clothed flags were pleasantly surprised, and suddenly felt a lot more relaxed.

"Exactly. He wants to see you at once. ”

In the afternoon, the snow began to fall again. Outside the window was the snow, and inside the house was a warm fireplace.

When the three red-clothed flags cautiously walked into the room, they saw the tall figure standing in front of the window at first glance, indifferently staring at the snowflakes flying outside the window.

The officers stood up in unison and saluted, "My lord! At the first sight of Dilin, they didn't know how to describe their excitement, the feeling - it was embarrassing to say, but in this boss, who was no less than ten years younger than himself, the officers had the feeling of a child being next to their father. As long as there is Di Lin leading, everyone suddenly has a bottom in their hearts, with him, no matter how hard and dangerous, they can endure and persevere.

The figure in front of the window turned his head, and a handsome face appeared in front of everyone.

The Inspector General wore a black military judge's uniform without collar flowers, which was straight and close-fitting, and there was not even a trace of wrinkles. He didn't look anything out of the ordinary, except for a slight exhaustion, the calm and indifferent officer and the madman who had been in a rage for hours seemed to be two people.

"Gopra has already told me what happened just now." Di Lin said gently, staring at the person in front of him, "You guys are doing a great job, I thank you very much." Thank you! He spoke to two people. But his eyes were clear, and he only looked at the west from beginning to end.

It is clear that the Inspector General already knew who was the real culprit among the rebels who withstood the pressure of collapse at that most dangerous moment.

A hot current surged into Jinxi's heart, and he saluted again: "My lord, this is what a lower official should do." ”

Di Lin looked at him with a smile, and that smile made Jinxi's heart warm.

"Now, everyone's life and death are undecided. I may be a little arrogant when I say this. Di Lin's voice was very soft, which made people listen very comfortably, and he looked at the people in front of him one by one: "Di Lin can swear here, if the great cause can be accomplished, I will share the wealth with all the kings, and I will never lose each other." ”

Gopla was the first to lead and knelt, and Lu Zhen and Jinxi followed and knelt down.

"It is the luck of my life to be able to follow adults." Gopra said sincerely: "Regardless of success or failure, please allow us to fight together with you!" ”

Jinxi's face was flushed with excitement: "My lord, let's go out and do it!" We're going to have a big fight with you. It is finished, and there is a portrait of us on the Pavilion of the Heavens; Defeated, we dignified men will not come to the world in vain! ”

Lu Zhen nodded vigorously: "My lord, let's go with you!" ”

Looking at his subordinates, Di Lin smiled. He was about to say something, when the door of the room was pushed open, and Shabro strode in and shouted, "My lord, I ......" He was stunned when he suddenly saw the scene in front of him.

Di Lin was calm: "Shabro, is there something wrong?" ”

Wenxin Group Falcon Wind, for trial reading only, please indicate for reprinting, and please support the genuine version.

"Your Excellency. We've won! The commander of the 107th Division of the Military Police looked up at the bell on the wall: "About fifteen minutes ago, our army had conquered the Governor's Mansion, and Zichuan Shenxing died. ”

Everyone has been mentally prepared for this news, but at this moment, people still feel very shocked. Everyone looked up at the clock on the wall, and with different thoughts, they all remembered the present time: 5:13 p.m. on January 1, 786.

Shabro reported on the fall of the Governor's Palace. When the rebels reached the last line of defense, Shikawa Sanxing locked himself in his office. Half an hour later, the guards knocked open the door, and they saw the old man's body. When the news spread, the Janissaries lost confidence in resisting, and they laid down their arms in large numbers and surrendered to the rebels.

And the commander of the Praetorian Guard, Pigu, persevered to the end, in front of the gendarmes who came to collect the weapons, he resolutely refused to put down the knife in his hand - Pigu was nearly seventy years old, and he had heart disease and high blood pressure, and he was out of breath when he moved a little, and holding a knife was purely symbolic, and there was no lethality at all, even the gendarmes who came to surrender couldn't bear it, and persuaded him for a long time, but he just shook his head vigorously, and he didn't know if he heard it clearly. In the end, there was no way, and several gendarmes ended up with him.

And so, the boys hacked him to death with their sabers, uh, just like that. Well, hacked to death! Dead no more, like a log...... Hey, this damn old stubborn! ”

During the report, Shabro kept having a smile on his face, and the more he talked, the happier he became, the more he laughed, the more he laughed, and he laughed so hard that tears came out.

No one in the room was laughing. Everybody knows that. Pigu was Shabro's teacher. His colleagues did not dare to look at him, for fear of sympathy in their eyes. For the men of the Omsay, sympathy is an insult.

"That old fellow......" Dillin muttered, waving his hand and shaking his head, no one knowing what he was trying to say.

Everyone was silent. Whether you hate or love Zichuan Shenxing, no one can help but admit that it is an important existence that can affect an era, and no one can ignore it. Especially since his death was caused by himself, this sense of shock is even stronger.

But soon, the generals realized what it meant to them to take the governor's palace. A path to the pinnacle of power had appeared at their feet, and the red-clothed bannermen were in high spirits, and everyone bowed down to Di Lin in unison and said, "Congratulations to your lords on your victory!" I hope that when you take office as president, you will not forget our service! ”

Di Lin was not humble either, and said with a smile: "If there is such a day in the future, I will naturally not forget the merits of your monarchs." But right now, we're not at the point where we can celebrate with confidence. There were a couple of big things that we had to do right away! ”

"Yes! Please command! ”

"Although the Central Army has been purged by us, this army is stationed in the city, and once someone instigates it to make a mistake, it will become a problem for the henchmen. Shabro, you led the team to be stationed in the Central Army camp to assist Xinlie Hongyong Banner, closely monitored, and never allowed them to move! ”

"Yes!"

"In the present-day West, the Internal Intelligence Department is responsible for monitoring the senators and aristocratic forces in the imperial capital, Xiao Ping of the Senate, Fang Qing of Xijia, and those dukes of the lineage. You have to find a way to appease them - just one principle, just don't let them mess with us. In what way, you can do it yourself. Di Lin smiled: "Of course, it would be even better if you could get them to show their support for us." ”

Jinxi also smiled: "My lord, those wealthy families are as fine as rats." The overall situation is undecided, and it is impossible for them to take a stand. But as long as they are obedient, this is not difficult. The Political Department has been keeping an eye on them. You can rest assured about this, adult! We have a set for them. ”

"Excellent! All that's left is Dark's expeditionary force. The expeditionary force must be pacified, this is the most important thing. I'm going to set out for Dak myself, Gopra, Luzhen. You two come with me. The eleventh cavalry division with the gendarme. ”

"Your Excellency!" Several voices spoke at the same time: "You go to Dak in person, it's too dangerous!" ”

Gopra said earnestly, "My lord, I'll just go!" I will definitely do my best to suppress the expeditionary force! ”

Di Lin shook his head and said, "You can'tβ€”don't put on a dead face." I'm not saying you're not capable, you're not qualified enough! Go to Dak, you have to deal with Wen He, Fang Yun, and Starry's gang of military leaders, who are they? They are all fierce generals who crawled out of the pile of dead people, and they have fought countless battles, and even their breathing is murderous. You haven't killed enough people to go over there and you can't shake them. ”

He looked around at the crowd: "I have to go there myself." ”

The generals were speechless. Di Lin had a point, but it was very dangerous to let Di Lin personally go to the camp of the expeditionary force. Although he brought a cavalry division with him, if the news of Stirling's murder came out. The expeditionary force will definitely bomb the battalion. In the face of that angry army of revenge, a gendarmerie division is about the same.

If you go, you will die for a lifetime.

Jinxi saluted solemnly: "My lord, be careful!" ”

Shabro also said solemnly: "My lord, take care all the way!" Without you, we have nothing! ”

Di Lin smiled: "Don't be so serious, but it's just Duck, I'll be back tomorrow - you guys give me a good home, don't let those rabbit cubs turn the sky upside down!" ”

Imashi and Shabro sang in unison, "Your Excellency, don't worry! With us, the imperial capital is as stable as Mount Tai! ”

"Very good, then we're ready to go......" Di Lin's eyes swept away, stopped at a person, and said strangely: "Lu Zhen, are you okay?" Why is your face so bad? Are you still sweating on a cold day? ”

Hearing that he was going to follow Di Lin to the camp of the expeditionary force, Lu Zhen's mind buzzed, and he was so afraid that he was going to fight in his heart when he thought of going to the hundreds of thousands of wolf-like sharp soldiers. Although Sterling was not killed by himself, where will those GIs tell you what they deserve, they only know that Sterling died at the hands of the Inspectorate, and he is a high-ranking official of the Inspectorate......

"Will it be gouged out to honor Sterling?" Thinking of this, Lu Zhen's face was as white as paper with fright, sweat and heavy clothes, and there was only one thought in his heart: "I must not go, I must not go......"

Hearing Di Lin's question, he shuddered, and suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he hurriedly said: "My lord, the lower official has something important to report!" ”

"What?"

"This morning, Xia Guan and Jinxi went to visit the office of the expeditionary force in the imperial capital...... Lu Zhen said today's experience in a vivid voice, anyway, it is all the truth, and he is not afraid of Jinxi exposing it: "The Far Eastern Army emphasizes that the safety of His Royal Highness Ning and Lord Li Qing must be guaranteed. The lower official wants to ask His Excellency Shabro, can you find their whereabouts? ”

Shabro was stunned for a moment, shook his head and said, "No, my lord." The battlefield is chaotic, and we haven't found either of them yet. ”

Lu Zhen said solemnly: "My lord, Your Excellency Li Qing is the widow of Lord Stirling, and she plays a huge role in pacifying the expeditionary force; And His Highness Ning is the heir of the family - oh no, His Highness Sanxing is dead, and His Highness Ning is already the head of my family! Controlling these two means a lot to us, not to mention that they are also the people that Lord Hidekawa of the Far East named to protect! ”

Hear the name of Shikawa Shu. Di Lin's eyebrows were slightly raised, his eyes flashed, and his expression was quite intriguing.

He nodded and said, "Lu Zhen, you reminded me well." I'm really negligent about this. Find them. If they hadn't died, they would have been hiding in some corner of the Governor's Mansion. Then, he said what Lu Zhen wanted to hear the most: "Lu Zhen, you don't want to go to Dak. You stay in the imperial capital and are in charge of searching, but you are not allowed to harm them! ”

Lu Zhen happily stood up and saluted: "Obey, my lord!" The lower officer must complete the task! ”

Lu Zhen boasted about Haikou in front of Di Lin, saying that he would definitely be able to find Zi Chuanning. In any case, this task was much safer than going to the wolf's lair, so he also began the search with great enthusiasm.

Before the search, Lu Zhen interrogated the Praetorian Guard captives. They all confessed. During the siege, Her Royal Highness Ning was indeed in the mansion and personally commanded the battle, but no one can say where she went later.

Worried that Zi Chuanning would die in the melee. Lu Zhen ordered the bodies of all the dead officers and soldiers on the battlefield to be identified, and there were no Zi Chuanning and Li Qing among them, which made him greatly relieved.

Because the blockade ban of the Governor's Mansion has not been lifted, Lu Zhen believes that Zi Chuanning must still be hiding in some corner of the Governor's Mansion, and it is not difficult to find someone.

At night, a massive search operation began. The firecracks lit up the ruins of the battlefield for hours, and before the gendarmes at the end of the battle had time to wipe off the bloodstains on their bodies, they were ordered to search the two young women in the governor's palace without harming them.

In order to facilitate the search, Lu Zhen divided the Governor's Mansion into fifteen areas, and each area assigned two squadrons to be stationed in the search. There are many buildings in the Governor's Palace, and in order to speed up the progress, Lu Zhen mobilized the criminal investigation team of the Supervision Department to help, and they commanded the soldiers to look through every closet and wardrobe, and even searched the bottom of the bed.

But until 12 o'clock in the middle of the night, the reports from the various search teams were: "No one was found." There was no news of the future heir of the family, which shocked Lu Zhen. Zi Chuanning was a key figure, and she was not only related to the relationship between the rebels and the Far Eastern Army. And without Zi Chuanning as a cover, the fact that the Supervision Office is a group of rebels will be naked in broad daylight and besieged from all sides.

"Keep searching! If you can't find anyone, don't even think about resting! ”

Lu Zhen turned a deaf ear to the complaints of his subordinates. He walked around the ruins of the broken walls of the Governor's Mansion with red eyes, and from time to time scolded the officers and soldiers passing by: "Rice bucket! Impotent! Rubbish! It seemed that this would be a great help in finding people, but my heart was full of fear and despair.

When Lu Zhen was frantically searching, in the middle of the night of January 1, 786, in the wilderness outside the imperial capital, in the snow, a group of pedestrians in robes were struggling to advance in the snow, and behind them, a series of deep footprints scattered in the snow on their ankles were particularly conspicuous.

"Stop, everyone take a break!" Li Qing's red-clothed banner took off his hood, turned around and walked to the back of the team. A cloaked girl had been left at the back of the line, sitting on the ground gasping for air. Looking at this girl, Li Qing's eyes were full of concern and pity, and she helped the other party up: "Your Highness, please don't sit in the snow, you will freeze and fall ill." ”

"It's okay, Sister Qing." Zi Chuanning's head and face were wrapped in a cloak and struggled to get up. Her face was red from the cold, but fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead, and her feet were sore and sore, numb from the cold. There were tears in her eyes, but she still said stubbornly: "This tiredness is nothing." ”

"Your Highness...... In such a snowy day, let His Highness trek like this...... I'm sorry that the incompetence of the subordinates has made you suffer! Please hold on a little longer, just reach the gram. My husband Sterling may be incompetent, but he is fiercely loyal to his family, and as long as we join him, we will be safe! ”

Zi Chuanning tried to smile at Li Qing: "Sister Qing, I came all the way thanks to you." In the future, we will have to rely on Brother Sterling. Sister Qing, I swear, as long as I Zichuan Ning survives for one day, the Sterling family will coexist with my Zichuan family! ”

"Your Highness, you are serious." Li Qing said solemnly, "Weichen and Sterling are both courtiers of the family and are favored by the family. At this time of crisis, as long as there is a trace of conscience, everyone knows that the king should defend the country, but he is just doing his duty. Your Highness, you are so concerned, it makes Wei Chen uneasy. ”

She held Zi Chuanning's hand tightly and said earnestly, "Your Highness, you don't have to worry, Di Lin is just rampant for a while. Dak has the elite troops of the family, assisted by a clumsy husband, and His Royal Highness can lead the army back in an instant, and it is easy to kill the traitor! ”

"Hmm!" Looking at Li Qingqing's clear eyes, Zi Chuanning nodded vigorously. She looked back, and in the wind and snow, the huge outline of the imperial capital loomed in the night, and Zi Chuanning burst into tears again.

"Uncle, I will definitely avenge you!" The young chief of the Zichuan family secretly swore a vow: "Imperial Capital, I will come back again!" ”
