Chapter 394: Riot
Mu Tingya and the team carrying the hostages of the royal family of each Duan clan have already walked out of the imperial city for a long time.
Even though there was an explosion and flames in the Imperial City, they did not see or hear any movement.
Imperial.
Meng Chenrui had just rescued the last squad in the Prince's Mansion, and he immediately escorted the target hostages of this squad and extremely small squad out of the city.
At the gate of the city, looking at their distant backs, Meng Chenrui couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
After that, he did not leave, but walked around the city directly, appearing in the sight of a few Praetorian Guards, or directly distracting them with smoke, or directly violently knocking them out.
In order to buy time for the team carrying the two-year-old child, so that they can run farther.
The only Praetorian Guards in the Imperial City can act are the patrol soldiers, and there are not many patrol soldiers, how can they be the opponent of Meng Chenrui, an iron-blooded soldier!
Anyone who encountered Meng Chenrui's patrol soldiers could not escape the fate of being unconscious or killed.
Meng Chenrui said that the task at the moment is very easy.
For at this time, apart from the Praetorian Guards lying on the streets and at the gates of the city, nothing unusual happened.
There was no riot in the imperial city, and it was still very calm.
However, as time went by, more and more cases of their masters being found missing in various prefectures and palaces, and at this time, ...... Yifeng personally went into battle.
While doing the task, Yifeng played a lot, and from time to time lit bombs in various corners of the imperial city and threw them out, causing riots.
Since the first bomb sounded in the Imperial City, there would be explosions every few moments, followed by flames and shouts from the people.
The people who were still asleep were woken up, and they were so frightened that they didn't have time to put on their shoes, so they rushed out of the door, and looked at the fire that dyed the sky red, and the sound of "bang" one after another.
After each bomb, a fire is left behind.
The people were terrified. They woke up their family members who were still sleeping, and prepared to escape, for fear that the devastating thing would hit them or be burned by the fire.
Time. The streets were overcrowded with people, and people came out of their homes and ran out of the city.
Just kidding, the war is raging in the city, who would dare to stay in the city without their lives?
The queen mother in the middle of the palace is like the wind. That is, the Empress Dowager Yunmeng was also awakened by the first loud noise.
She was about to send someone to invite the emperor, but she heard that the chief eunuch asked to see her.
The queen mother asked the palace maid to put her hair in a simple bun, and after putting on the phoenix robe, she summoned the chief eunuch.
After the chief eunuch entered the palace, the queen mother had not yet asked, so he knelt down first and reported: "The queen mother, the emperor...... The emperor is gone......"
The Queen Mother, who was just sitting on the phoenix chair, suddenly had a bad feeling in her heart, and she hurriedly asked, "Why is the emperor gone?" Have you found all the places? ”
"Back to the Queen Mother, I have searched for it, and there is no trace of the emperor. And ......, "The chief eunuch didn't dare to say it."
"Say." The Queen Mother's majesty spread out and said domineeringly.
"All the guards in the Jiaotai Hall are all fascinated, and they are not awake yet." The chief eunuch said in fear.
"What?" The Queen Mother was so shocked that she stood up directly from the seat, her eyes were scarlet: "You make it clear to the mourning family, what's wrong with the emperor?" ”
"The emperor is gone......" the eunuch is in charge.
The Queen Mother's eyelids jumped suddenly.
Something big is going to happen.
The Empress Dowager immediately stabilized her mind and ordered: "Order the Praetorian Guard camp, and all the Praetorian Guards will go out to find the assassin, and it will be said that the assassin stole the jade seal of the country." ”
The Queen Mother is a person who has experienced strong winds and waves, and she has not lost her reason.
Her gaze looked at the chamberlain. and everyone in the palace, said: Everyone listen, send the order down, the emperor is missing. Do not let anyone know, violators will be punished by the nine clans. ”
"Yes." The people in the palace were terrified and took the order.
Seeing that the chief eunuch was still not leaving, the Queen Mother said angrily: "Why don't you go quickly? ”
The chief eunuch was about to cry, and he said: "The queen mother, the jade seal of the country has also been lost." ”
The chief eunuch was not on duty today, so he escaped being stunned.
The first explosion in the city woke him up. So he hurriedly got up and went to check on the emperor, but found that the emperor was gone, so he turned to the imperial study to check whether the jade seal was intact?
Who knows, the jade seal is also gone.
He knew that the situation was strict, so he came under great pressure to report to the Queen Mother.
As soon as the Queen Mother heard that the jade seal of the country was gone, she only felt a fishy smell coming from her throat, and then she opened her mouth and spit out a mouthful of blood directly.
The body was even more unstable, and he fell on the phoenix chair.
"Queen Mother, take care of your phoenix body." The chief eunuch stepped forward.
"It's okay to love the family, you go and inform the leader of the Praetorian Guard, and let him lead someone to search for the emperor's whereabouts, remember, to the outside world, it is to search for the assassin who stole the jade seal of the country."
"Yes." The chief eunuch took the order and left.
The Queen Mother seemed to be several years older for a moment.
She weakly took the handkerchief handed by the palace maid and wiped the corners of her mouth.
Then a wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Is this the retribution of heaven for the wind?
The winds have indeed changed.
It has only been three years, and Feng'er has been on the throne for just three years, which has caused the national strength of Yunmeng to decline a lot, and the people's lives are even more miserable than before.
Among them, many ministers of the two and three dynasties begged her to meet her, and asked her to admonish the emperor, so that the emperor could return to the right path and be a wise monarch for a dynasty.
However, she mentioned it more than once or twice, and Feng'er did not change anything except to express her impatience, and even intensified her enjoyment of the luxurious life.
……
After a while, the chief eunuch came back, and he hurriedly knelt down and said: "Empress Dowager Qi, all the guards in the entire Praetorian Guard camp are unconscious, and the imperial doctors are trying to find a way to wake them up." ”
The fishy sweetness in the throat that the Queen Mother had originally suppressed came out again, and she spit out a mouthful of blood with a "poof......".
"Queen Mother, take care!" The chief eunuch is in a hurry.
"Mourning the family...... Nothing. "The Queen Mother was a little weak.
"Gather the officials of the imperial city and set up an ambush in the city first to prevent the enemy from escaping." The Queen Mother said slowly: "Send a letter to the Lingcheng military camp immediately, and let Hu Yifan lead the army to rescue the emperor and the jade seal of the country." ”
"Yes." The chief eunuch took the order and left.
This night is destined to be a nightmare for the people of the Imperial City.
At this time, the Queen Mother did not know that all the descendants of her Duan clan were missing, and she did not know that her people were already packing up their belongings, soft and soft, carrying their families, livestock and other things, waiting to leave the city at the crowded city gate.
At this moment, the streets are full of people.
There are more people crowded than when visiting the most lively temple fairs.
Everyone's faces showed horror, anxiety, and some even cried outright.
A good home was destroyed by one explosion after another, and one fire after another.
