Chapter Thirty-Nine: A Desperate Shot

"The head of the house, there are too many thieves outside, and the gate can't stand it!"

"Childe, the side wall is on fire!"

"Firefighting, firefighting!"

The skyrocketing fire ignited in Luoyang's Cui Mansion, and the family took buckets from the deep well in the backyard and threw them on the burning exterior walls, and the deep ice in the cellar to prevent the heat was also taken out and covered in the place where it was about to burn.

Cui Lie, who was over sixty years old, stood in the center of the courtyard with a cane and a robe, the firelight reflected the old cheeks, the old man's face was thin, his teeth were clenched, his arms trembled, and the old eyes with heavy eye bags looked out of the door fiercely, he said, "Guangluxun and go to the backyard to rest, but as long as the old man is still alive, he will not let the traitors and thieves succeed!" ”

Ma Yue didn't hide in the backyard, he and Yang Feng stood at the door with weapons in hand, ready to meet the moment when the gate crashed to the ground.

He was just guilty.

The first time he was imprisoned in Luoyang was because he played this old Jizhou celebrity, and he spoke out too many times in the court later...... He was used to seeing Cui Lie's angry appearance, but he was not used to this.

There are soldiers with bows on the wall who fell with arrows, and the arrows shot on the wall like rain, and the fire inside burned more vigorously, and the family was busy fighting the fire, and the courtyard wall was suppressed by the shooters outside the house, and the impact of the house gate was more violent, and Cui Fu ...... Faltering.

Cui Jun was in a hurry in the house, and kept chanting: "Where is the Gyeonggi Mansion Guard, why can't you get it yet, why can't you get it yet?" ”

"Don't go around in the front yard, take Guang Luxun to the backyard!" Cui Lie squinted at Ma Yue, shouted at Cui Jun, and then said to Ma Yue: "Ma Yue! Let the dog take you to escape, go over the wall, now the road into the palace must be blocked, go towards the palace...... Cui Mansion, I can't stay. ”

Ma Yue's face was feverish, the Gyeonggi Mansion Guard took the position of Yuan Shu's vanguard army in the Qingzomen Change, the Commander Ji Ling did not know whether he was alive or dead that day, and most of the Gyeonggi Mansion Guards were killed and wounded, and at the moment he was afraid that he would not be able to organize effective forces to pacify the chaos in Luoyang. Cui Lie's eyes were to blame him.

Cui Jun was surprised when he heard this: "Grandpa, I can't go, what should you do if I leave?" Then He Miao is already crazy! ”

"No matter what, there must be people in the house, so the old man can only stay. He Miao is crazy, how can she really dare to take the old man? Cui Lie stiffened his neck, although his body was thin and his temperament was not allowed to give up half a point, "Let's protect the horse first, there are so many people who have died, he can't die." ”

Ma Yue lowered his head, looked up at Cui Jun again, and looked at Cui Lie, not knowing what else he could say.

"What are you doing in a daze, let's go!" Cui Lie saw that Ma Yue was still standing in the hall, and shouted at him: "Is this the time when you hesitate? ”

Ma Yue shrank cautiously, he was a little afraid of this confused old man who had given up Liangzhou to Emperor Jinyan, but the expression on his face was a little sad at this time.

Cui Jun held the sword at the side, breathing heavily but did not move a step, since he was young, he was known for his loyalty and integrity in Luoyang, and he held many official positions, and before the establishment of the Xiyuan Army, he even sat on the official position of General Huben Zhonglang. The changes in the court ruined his political career, and the generals in charge of the palace guards were particularly important in the struggle for power, and such a noble position was given to Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu with the approval of the generals.

If there is no accident, Cui Jun will be put out of the place to be a guard, but it's a pity...... He Jin is dead. Died at the hands of this young man in front of him, by an almost despicable means.

"Jun Hao, there's a question I've always wanted to ask you." Looking at Ma Yue's expression, Cui Jun closed his eyes for a moment, "Forget it, father, then I ......"

The people outside were frantically banging on the door, and the vermilion lacquer gate could no longer make these people feel a trace of awe, and the sword pierced through the vermilion door, and the sound of wood chips breaking kept ringing in their ears.

Cui Lie raised his hand, and the old man didn't even look back at it again, just stared at the crumbling gate.

"Let's go, let's go."

Is this a scourge? Thousands of times tried every means to prevent his family from being involved in this seizure turmoil, but in the end, in this way, he inevitably buried the entire Cui Mansion for the palace coup.

"Let's go!"

Cui Jun grabbed Ma Yue's arm, half-pushed and half-ran to the backyard, and before he could go to the wall, he heard a "boom", and several people looked at each other, and they all understood what was happening.

The Zhu Gate of Cui's Mansion was broken!

"If you don't leave any of them, kill me!"

This is He Miao giving orders through frenzy, and then what came into everyone's ears was a brief shout and collision, and the firelight reflected on the wall, stopped by an old shout.

"Presumptuous! This is the old man's mansion, waiting for such a thief to make trouble, the Cui Mansion soldiers, get rid of the thieves for the country! ”

In the sound of soldiers, Ma Yue and Cui Jun glanced at each other, hardened their hearts and climbed over the courtyard wall, and responded to the injured Changshui sergeant, and everyone took advantage of the night to run between the dark alleys of Luoyang.

Cui Fu's shouting and killing gradually drifted away......

At Chengyang Gate, two hundred Changshui horsemen lined up behind, and Yan Xing held an iron spear and scolded the guards guarding the palace gate.

"Lao Tzu is the captain of Changshui, you pawns open the palace door for Lao Tzu!" Raising the iron spear, Yan Xing angrily spread the reins and pointed at the period gate Lang who was holding a long brother under the closed palace gate and said, "Open the palace gate, now!" ”

"The lower officer recognizes you, Captain Changshui. But if you leave the palace late at night, you can't do it. His Majesty's decree, the will of the Queen Mother, and the decree of the Empress Dowager ......" The period gate guarding the palace gate was unhurried, and his face was very respectful, but he said without entering: "Guangluxun or the military captain Yinxin, you have one of them, and the lower officials should immediately open the door for you...... The lower official dared to ask you, the Changshui Cavalry and the Jiashi Patrol behind you, broke out of the palace late at night to rebel? ”

With the words of the young Qimen Tun Chief, the more than ten Lang officials guarding the palace gate all rose to a long time, and they were not afraid to confront the prestigious Changshui Battalion of the Northern Army.

Yan Xing hurriedly burned his eyebrows, and he had already crossed several palace gates all the way, but he didn't want to finally garrison in front of a small tun chief in Chengyang Gate, Yan Xing twisted his neck on the horse, raised his iron spear and asked, "Who is your Shangguan?" Is it the Ba County ** with chicken feathers on his head? ”

In the whole world, except for Guan Yu and Cheng Li, Yan Xingxin is no more than any Central Plains person, and Gan Ning, who has been the leader of the **, makes him particularly disdainful.

"The lower official is a subordinate of Zhu Junhou of the Tiger Ben Army, as for what you said, forgive the lower official for being ignorant." The head of the period gate tun smiled, and then tensed, it was obvious that he understood Yan Xing's ridicule that meant Gan Ning, and arched his hand: "The lower official's name is Yi Tong, and I also ask the captain of Changshui to obtain a seal, the subordinate official's duty is here, and I hope to forgive the sin." ”

This little tun chief is the little tun chief with a bookish face who Ma Yue went to Qingzuomen together after killing He Jin in the back road, if Ma Yue sees this scene, he will definitely praise it, there are not many people in the imperial city who dare to face Yan Xing, and the tun chief who dares to face Yan Xing is afraid that this is the only one.

"I want to kill you!" Yan Xing let out two breaths on the horse, waved his hand and slammed the iron spear into the ground, jumped off the horse, grabbed Chang Ge, the chief of Xiaotun, and dragged it fiercely, pulled his leather armor to the side and whispered: "At an extraordinary time, you must open the palace door for me, Guangluxun is afraid that he will be assassinated outside the palace, and it is too late to find any emperor or queen mother, do you understand?" ”

"This ...... Can you be sure? Yi Tong was stunned when he heard this, and even his brows that were furrowed by Yan Xing's rude demeanor were put down, and his eyes widened and asked, "Guangluxun just left the palace at night, and not many people know the news, this is ......?"

At this moment, a soldier on the palace wall was aiming at the Changshui Army with a bow and arrows, and turned his head to see the flames burning in the west of the city and hurriedly shouted below: "Tun Chief, there is a fire in the west of the city!" ”

"Seeing that bastard on horseback, the imperial physician ordered Zhang Feng, the adopted son of the eunuch Zhang Rang, I'm afraid it's not a lie. Hurry up and open the door for me, I can't afford to assassinate you and Guangluxun! ”

Yi Tong pursed his lips, made up his mind to turn around and shouted: "Open the palace door!" ”

When Yan Xing heard this, he spread Yi Tong, turned over and got on his horse, and without waiting for the palace gate to open, he took the lead and galloped out, and the long water horse roared out behind him.

The fire in Cui's house burned to the sky, Ma Yue and his party walked around in the alley, ran far away to rest under the eaves of an old house, Cui Jun stood on the street and looked at the fire in the distance and was silent. Ma Yue saw that his eyes were a little sparkling.

"Yuan Ping, when I return to the palace, I will definitely avenge the Cui Mansion and let He Miao get the punishment he deserves."

It was his mansion that was burning, and the screams he heard when he ran out were his house slaves.

It was he who led this unwarranted disaster to the Cui Mansion, what else could he say?

"Let He Miao be punished?" Cui Jun looked back at Ma Yue with suppressed resentment on his face, "Is it just He Miao who is wrong?" It's you, it's you, you're all wrong! You are fighting for power and profit, how can I be innocent of the 200 people in the Cui Mansion? What an innocent adult in my family! ”

Ma Yue opened his mouth but had nothing to say, looked up at Cui Jun for a moment, looked around at the left and right guards and said, "Go back to the palace!" ”

As soon as he said that, Ma Yue grabbed Cui Jun's arm and walked in the direction of Chengyang Gate, Cui Jun struggled to shake it off and said, "Ma Guanglu is safe, please forgive Yuanping and go home!" ”

"The Cui Mansion is my Ma Yue's life-saving benefactor, now you are going back to die, follow me back to the palace to raise troops!"

Cui Jun couldn't resist Ma Yue, so he could only walk carefully towards the palace with a group of guards bypassing He Miao's blockade circle and following the eaves of the mansions on both sides of the imperial road.

Fang only felt safe, and suddenly heard most of the horses' hooves exploding at the end of the long street, startled Ma Yue and the others hurriedly shrank to the base of the wall, and when the cavalry approached, Ma Yue suddenly stood up and shouted: "Yanming, Yanming, I'm here!" Ma Yue is here! ”

When he saw the Changshui cavalry leading Changge to gallop across the alley, he couldn't express the excitement in his heart, and it was almost a parting of life and death.

Almost.

"My lord?" Yan Xing's horse galloped to the front, turned over and dismounted, and half-knelt and said, "Yan Xing is late, please forgive the lord!" ”

"How do you know something happened to me?

At this time, Zhang Fengcai, who was behind Yan Xing, revealed his figure and arched his hand and said, "Guangluxun, you can rest assured that you have nothing to do." ”

Seeing Zhang Feng come out, Ma Yue squinted his eyes and nodded, glanced back at Cui Jun, Ma Yue rode on the horse brought by Yan Xing, raised his sword and roared: "Go to Cui Mansion and follow me to kill He Miao, this bastard!" ”
