Chapter 66: Be Prepared
With the piercing sound of fireworks exploding, the queen and others rushed straight to the palace gate, and a team of people and horses galloped towards them.
"Mother."
The chamberlains who hugged the queen tightly shouted sharply.
Rushed all the way with the heart of death, but how can people really be willing to die, what they are asking for with the heart of death is not a glimmer of life.
Seeing the escape, but there are tigers and wolves waiting.
Their voices trembled, and their bodies trembled.
The team of men and horses clicked, the armor was bright, the bow and crossbow in their hands were shining cold, and the horses' hooves kept rushing straight over.
"Catch the Queen."
"Shoot the arrows!"
A shout approached behind him.
"Shoot the arrows."
There was also a shout ahead.
The maid screamed and surrounded the queen.
With the sound of breaking through the air, arrows grazed past them, and wails rang out behind them.
The queen raised her head and stood up straight, this group of men and horses had already crossed them, blocking the pursuers in the palace.
This is what the king of Jin'an said about his own people who stayed in the palace gate?
Don't let her think about it, someone came over on the royal street again.
"The Queen."
With a man's voice.
When the queen looked over, it turned out to be Zhang Chun.
Not only Zhang Chun, but also more officials rushed over.
Finally, it's all right.
The queen only felt that her body was weak, and when she looked around, there were only four palace maids left who were originally more than a dozen people, and they were all injured, exhausted and paralyzed on the ground, panting for breath.
"You... How are you—" The queen said, gritting her teeth and rushing over, slacking off a little bit at this point.
". We saw fireworks. I feel different. So I came to find out. Zhang Chun took over and said.
The queen was stunned, and so were the others behind her.
Pyrotechnics?
Didn't the fireworks just come on?
I didn't rush over until I saw the fireworks, and I didn't fly so fast.
But if this is said, everything is reasonable, otherwise there will be people who question why they are guarding the palace gate in the middle of the night.
It is worthy of Zhang Jiangzhou, scolding and lying is easy to do.
"yes, yes." The others also nodded and said, "Niangniang, what's going on?" ”
The queen took a deep breath. Reach out and point behind you.
"Gao Lingbo Chen Shao murdered the crown prince, and also closed the palace gate, the queen mother was held hostage, hurry up and escort it."
She cried loudly.
"Escort."
………………………………………………
The door slammed, waking up the Huang family, and when she touched the pillow, there was no Fan Jianglin.
"Dalang."
She shouted, lifted the quilt and followed, the door opened, and Fan Jianglin stood in the courtyard. Look up at the night sky.
What's wrong with it?
If you move to live in a military prison, will anyone still cause trouble?
Huang subconsciously followed and looked up. I happened to see a firework bloom in the night sky in the distance.
"Oh my God, who's going to set off fireworks so late?"
It's finally here.
Fan Jianglin looked at the night sky, his expression was anxious, and his hand hanging by his side clenched.
At the same time, Li Mao in the courtyard of the Li family house was also looking up at the sky.
"Your Excellency."
A female voice trembled behind.
Li Mao turned his head and looked at his wife with a panicked expression.
"Didn't you go to the cellar with the children?" He whispered, "Go." ”
"Really, are you all right? Come on too. The wife choked up.
"It should be fine." Li Mao said in a low voice and smiled, "Just in case, the fireworks of our Li family's fireworks are already very powerful, even if they are found out, they can only be said to be accidents." ”
Speaking of this, he gently put his arm around his wife's shoulder.
"Go ahead, I'm worried about chaos in the city."
The wife nodded and turned to leave.
Li Mao looked up at the night sky again.
The words he had spoken to Cheng Jianniang seemed to ring in his ears again.
"Master, the first time I saw your fireworks, I thought if it wasn't upward, but flat on the ground, would it have the same effect as a stone bullet?"
"Is your ground mouse like that?"
That's right, ground rats are fireworks that explode on the ground.
In a word, the finishing touch.
"Is there really such a thing?"
"Of course, add some sulphur lime, but then it won't be called a ground mouse."
"What's that called?" Li Mao asked with curiosity and excitement.
The woman in front of him smiled at him and raised her hand to make a throwing motion.
"It's called Heaven-Shaking Thunder." She said, smiling again, "Would you like to see how it works?" ”
Li Mao looked at the fireworks that gradually dispersed in the night sky.
"It's very high to be able to send fireworks." He said to himself, "It's just a shame that I can't see how effective the explosion is on the flat ground." ”
………………………………………….
The fireworks at the Imperial City Gate and the people in the inner palace naturally saw it, and Gao Lingbo's face turned pale under the flickering fireworks.
“… Mother, mother..."
A few of the guards ran over in embarrassment.
"What about the Queen?" Gao Lingbo asked sharply.
"My lord, the queen blew up the door with fireworks, ran, ran out, alarmed the guards in front of the palace outside the city, and there were many ministers, we had to close the palace door and retreat." The Praetorian Guard said.
Firework?
"When will the fireworks blow up the door?" Gao Lingbo shouted angrily.
"We don't know, anyway, it's very powerful anyway, drilling all over the ground, and it's fire and explosion." The Praetorian Guard said, his face still full of panic.
Firework...
Gao Lingbo's complexion also sank.
He thought of the weapons mentioned by those men during the ambush.
This woman has obviously been arranged.
I couldn't help but palpitate when I thought of this.
It was arranged so early?
What else alarmed the guards in front of the palace, and many ministers!
These ministers are all slippery one by one, and they can see that something has happened now, and it is too late to hide, how could they rush to the palace gate so coincidentally?
He jerked his head and looked inside the hall.
"The palace gate is closed, and they can't get in. Nearly 1,000 followers of the Imperial City Division's five-fold guard controlled the palace gate. Even if the forbidden army came. It's not that you can get in if you enter, what's more, the transfer of the forbidden army is not so easy, people outside don't have to pay attention, what matters now is ....... He gritted his teeth and said, stretching out his hand, "Catch this woman who plotted to kill the prince!" ”
Chen Shao, who was standing silently in front of the hall with one finger, looked at him when he heard the words.
"The queen and these ministers just want to say that you and I hurt the prince, but the reasons why you and I hurt the prince are not as convincing as this princess of Jin'an County who suddenly returned to Beijing without an edict." Gao Lingbo sneered.
The woman is still there. It is evident that she would come back so suddenly, so now they just need to take her and kill her, and then all the sins can be pushed on her.
"Kill her."
Gao Lingbo looked into the hall and slowly spit out three words.
The guards guarding the temple gate agreed in unison.
People poured into the house, and the screams of the maids were everywhere, but soon several guards were thrown out.
Surrounded by the guards, Gao Lingbo took a step back and looked at Cheng Jianniang who came out.
"Lord Gao, your son Gao Shishilang is dead." She said.
The guards on both sides were wearing golden armor and holding axes aimed at Cheng Jianniang. Maybe it's because she is taboo that she can make a good move, or maybe she wants to wait for Gao Lingbo to speak again.
Sure enough, she did it. Gao Lingbo's face was gloomy.
"You don't need to be reminded by Cheng Niangzi, the official knows." He said.
"I'm not reminding you of this." Cheng Jianniang said, "I'm going to tell you that Gao Shishilang was killed by me, and I killed it alone." ”
She held out a finger.
"I was alone, and I killed Gao Shishilang and eighteen of them."
"Eighteen weapons, one for each person."
"Gao Shishilang died under the dart, and a dart pierced and roared."
As she told the story, Gao Lingbo seemed to see his son's death again, and his body couldn't help but tremble.
"Cheng Niangzi, you shouldn't have done this, we shouldn't have done this." He said.
"Yes, Master Gao, we shouldn't be like this, you shouldn't do this." Cheng Jianniang said.
The same thing sounds the same thing, but it sounds a little different.
"Kill her." Gao Lingbo said, waving his hand.
As soon as the words fell, the guards pounced.
Cheng Jianniang not only did not avoid it, but pounced straight towards Gao Lingbo.
"Lord Gao, I said that I killed Gao Shishilang and eighteen people by myself, and it is not so easy for you to kill me." She raised her voice and shouted.
Her hand grasped the axe that was stabbed, and the axe chopped by the two seven-foot men was firmly grasped by her left and right with one hand, and came towards Gao Lingbo with momentum.
High Limbo discoloration.
This woman is not blowing big words, her ferocity has been proven.
He subconsciously retreated, and the guards protecting him followed suit, flashing out at a distance.
Cheng Jianniang jumped out of the siege by this distance and ran away in stride.
Ran away......
This shameless bastard!
Gao Lingbo was furious.
"Arrows straight, crossbows straight!" He shouted, "Kill her." ”
The third guard, who was a little farther away from the temple gate, raised his bow and crossbow.
It's just that the vision is not clear in the night, and I saw arrows flying like rain, and the woman jumped and ran and disappeared into the layers of palaces in a blink of an eye.
"In the palace, she can't escape, chase!"
"The concubines and princesses are all searched in the palace!"
Kill her, only by killing her, everything will have room to maneuver.
She should have been killed a long time ago.
Gao Lingbo's body trembled and clenched his hands, his usually calm face twisted hideously.
She should have been killed a long time ago! There will be no woe today!
……………………………………………
When the fireworks in the night sky were rising, Qin Arc was standing on the city gate and looked at the people who were still surrounded by the king of Jin'an and others under the city gate.
"Your Highness, it's better to go to the Qili Pavilion Post Station to rest, and when you submit your plea tomorrow, you can enter Beijing in a dignified manner." He said.
The king of Jin'an did not answer.
"Qin Arc." Zhou Zhen urged the horse to turn around in place, with a little annoyance, "What happened in the palace?" ”
Qin Arc looked down at him and smiled.
"It's a matter of keeping watch over the city at night and opening the gates at any time." He said.
"In that case, then why did you let her into the city alone!" Zhou Zhen shouted angrily.
"Because she's going to be fine." Qin Arc said, his expression indifferent. His eyes fell on the king of Jin'an County. "Still. If there are others in the city, it is not necessarily. ”
Zhou Zhen gritted his teeth, raised his head to continue speaking, and suddenly his face changed.
"Look, sir."
A soldier shouted at the city gate, pointing to the night sky behind him.
Qin Arc turned his head to look.
Fireworks burst into the night sky in the distance.
"Your Highness!" Mr. Gu, Gonggong Jing shouted, and also stretched out his hand to point over.
King Jin'an lifted his hood and looked up at the night sky.
"What beautiful fireworks."
He said, in the light of the torches. A slight smile appeared on his slightly pale face.
"Sixth brother, look, this is a firework specially prepared for you."
Seeing the fireworks, the people who laughed were not the only ones who were the king of Jin'an.
A smile also appeared on Qin Arc's face.
"Look, I'll just say don't worry, she's fine." He said with a smile to Zhou Zhen under the city gate, "You just don't believe her." ”
This fireworks were lit up, and the anomalies in the palace were revealed, and the courtiers who were already waiting at the palace gate had a reason to enter the palace.
The changes in the palace can no longer be hidden, and everything will be revealed to the world. The traitor is ambushed, what danger can she have?
How can you not believe her?
Zhou Zhen was already furious.
"Qin Arc. Open the gates! He yelled, "If you remember her saving grace, open the gates!" ”
As he spoke, he picked up the bow and crossbow on his horse and aimed it at Qin Arc.
The defenders of the city walls immediately aimed their crossbows at him.
"Zhou Zhen." Qin Arc smiled, "It's for her life, so I must not let someone who shouldn't enter the city enter the city, in that case, she is an unforgivable sin." ”
As he spoke, he picked up a bow from behind him and pulled it away.
"Zhou Zhen, don't be deceived by others."
"Qin Arc, your fucking leg is healed, your brain is broken!" Zhou Zhen gritted his teeth and shouted, and let go of the bow and arrow in his hand violently.
An arrow flew straight towards the walls.
"Childe."
Qin Arc's entourage pulled him away.
The arrow fell to the ground over the battlements, colliding with the ground to wipe out a spark.
With this action, the soldiers on the city wall released their bows and arrows.
"Stand back." They shouted.
There was a burst of dust, and a row of feathered arrows was planted in front of the horses' hooves, and the tails of the arrows shook like blooming flowers under the torches.
Zhou Zhen, Jin'an, Junwang and others all took a few steps back.
"Zhou Zhen, I know you're doing this for her, I don't care, but others don't know." Qin Arc said, the words were said to Zhou Zhen, but his eyes fell on the King of Jin'an County, "Don't let everyone misunderstand, it's not good that His Royal Highness the King of Jin'an County wants to attack the city and enter Beijing." ”
Zhou Ji was about to say something, but the king of Jin'an County, who had been silent and quiet, suddenly let out a laugh.
"In that case, how can it not be worthy of the name?" He said, pulling something out of the sachet at his waist.
With the other hand stretched out, Father-in-law Jing on the side lit a fire twist at the same time.
With a hissing sound, the thing in the hand of King Jin'an flew into the sky, exploding a gorgeous flower in the air.
"Sixth brother."
King Jin'an looked at the fireworks blooming in the night sky and smiled slightly.
"This was specially prepared for you by my brother, but I didn't expect it to be used so soon."
I'd rather never use it for the rest of my life.
He lowered his gaze and pulled his hood up to cover his face.
"Let's get started."
