Chapter 25: Coming (Please Support the Genuine Version)
When she was a child, Zhao Shu, who was sleeping lightly, was woken up by Huo Danlan, she opened her eyes suddenly, and when she saw Huo Danlan's anxious eyes, she turned over, and she turned over, which alarmed Sun Yun, she also got up, rubbed her eyes and asked, "Auntie, why are you here?" ”
Huo Danlan made a silent movement, "You two get dressed quickly, you can't say more, hurry, follow me to see the prince." ”
Zhao Shu and Sun Yun glanced at each other, they were both busy dressing, and they didn't ask the maid to wait, they were dressed in a hurry, Huo Danlan was busy tying the two of them, and at this time, Chu Chun and the others all pushed the door in, and they had just gotten up, and the black hair on their heads was draped on their bodies, and they didn't have time to comb their hair.
After some hurry, Zhao Shu, Sun Yun and Huo Danlan, escorted by Xiao Guozi and others, carried a lantern and went to Junhualou.
Huo Danlan has always been followed by magpies, and Grandma is not there, Zhao Shu glanced at it, but Zhihai followed aside, and asked Huo Danlan quietly, "Auntie, what's wrong?" ”
Without waiting for Huo Danlan to answer, Sun Yun exclaimed, "Fire! ”
Zhao Shu looked up, and there were raging fires around the villa, as if they were about to burn this place, a cold wind blew, and the smoke choked everyone coughing again and again.
"Hai Lao, please take a look, how many people are here, but you can be sure of breaking through." Zhao Shu retracted her gaze and hurriedly ordered.
Huo Danlan took her hand and shook her head, "You can't get out, if you can get out, my aunt will take you away a long time ago, don't worry, it's not so easy to burn." ”
While speaking, he had already arrived at Junhualou, Li Zhuo was anxiously walking around outside, anxious, and was relieved to see Zhao Shu and others coming, and seeing that Zhao Shu was fine.
"Where's the prince's brother?" Zhao Shu asked him, and after speaking, he had pushed the door in, and as soon as he pushed the door out, he heard the prince's cough.
Everyone went into the inner room and closed the door. At this time, they didn't care about the generosity of men and women, Huo Danlan and Sun Yun also entered the room, saluted, and sat anxiously at the table. Wait for news from outside.
After a while, someone from the Huo family came to report: "Girl, Junhualou can't stay, the other party has artillery." ”
Almost as soon as the Huo family came to report the time, Xiao Zhuzi also followed. He is mainly responsible for intelligence work, as soon as there is a problem, he has already rushed to the front to check the situation, as soon as he saw Zhao Shu, he said anxiously: "County lord, dozens of groups of people have come, the minions see that the front door will be breached soon, the other party still has a few artillery, the minions have a bloody way, let's go back to the city." ”
What he thought was that with the Queen Mother here, those people would not dare to really slaughter the city.
Zhao Shu sneered. Even artillery can be transported, what is the slaughter of the city? It happened that the Queen Mother died, and during the national funeral, they made small moves.
Before she could speak, Huo Danlan said, "Don't worry, what about Grandma?" ”
"I don't know." The Nahuo family reported truthfully, and it was very chaotic outside, and a large number of black-clothed people surrounded the entire mountain villa.
Huo Danlan didn't say much when he heard this, just nodded and said to the man: "It's cold." Let's watch first, you go and guard the north gate, and don't let people come in through the north gate. ”
When the man saw that he couldn't move Huo Danlan, he clenched his fists and took the order. He has been with Huo Danlan for more than ten years, knows Huo Danlan's temperament, and the things he decides will not change.
After the Huo family went down, Zhao Shu asked, "Auntie, do you see what Xiao Zhuzi and Xiao Guozi can help." They were all at the mercy of their aunt. ”
"Don't worry, my aunt has been arranged in the past few days, and someone dares to come, so you have to leave your life for me, and your people can help bury the body tomorrow."
Zhao Shu listened and said to Xiao Zhuzi: "Go to the front and watch, don't let people sneak in, a large number of people are easy to find, but individual assassins are not easy to find." ”
"Yes." Xiao Zhuzi bent down and saluted, "The slave will not let even a fly in, please rest assured." He said and turned away.
It was so bloody, coming out of Huo Danlan's mouth, Sun Yun and Sheng Xia and the others were furious in their hearts, in the past, they only felt that Aunt Huo was an extremely gentle person, and the smile in their eyes was like the rising sun, which made them want to get close involuntarily, and now it seems that Aunt Huo is also a person with quite ruthless means.
Especially Sun Yun, in recent days, her impact has been great, Zhao Shu is not like a child, the royal people, can understand, the most stringent infighting is the people in the royal family, almost endless, fighting can make the world chaos.
The gentle Aunt Huo also seems to have changed as a person, she, who has experienced the bloodiest thing in the boudoir, is just a person who watches people be killed and miscarriages, she really can't accept it, but the gentle and friendly Aunt Huo makes people feel comfortable.
Before she came to Guanzhou, she thought that between people, it was just that you choked me today, and I framed you twice tomorrow in front of my family...... The most remarkable thing is that the corpse of a woman was found in the lotus pond, which happened to be a certain concubine or a certain son.
Who knows, out of Guanzhou, not only did he hear that Zhao Shu, who was a dead soldier, killed Hao Xiao like a female rakshasa, that was the national master! It's not a matter of killing Hao Xiao, but also making Hao Zekai a human being......
She has done a lot of struggles in her heart, hinting to herself that Ah Jun is not wrong, Ah Jun is fighting violence and peace, she is not wrong, she is still the lovely monarch and county lord.
God knows, after listening to the report of the dead soldier, she still looked like Zhao Shu with a normal expression, how much courage it took her, but what did she hear just now?
Artillery!
This kind of thing that only exists on the battlefield was placed in front of the villa without the permission of the emperor, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was still in the village, so someone set fire to the villa.
She had a feeling that the world was going to be in chaos.
"Auntie has made arrangements?" Zhao Shu was inexplicably excited and wanted to go out to have a look.
Huo Danlan nodded, reached out and touched her head, "Don't worry, my aunt brought you here, and she will definitely bring you back safely." ”
Her words not only made Zhao Shu breathe a sigh of relief, but Sun Yun and the prince also secretly put down the boulder in their hearts, the most unsafe thing here is the prince, Zhao Shu has Zhihai, Huo Danlan has a grandmother, Sun Yun has a secret dead soldier, saving the lives of the three of her, it is absolutely no problem.
But the crown prince, countless people chased after him, just for him.
"How did the prince's brother leak out here?" Zhao Shu asked, she had planned to ask this question at the beginning, but she never spoke.
Huo Danlan frowned, and suddenly said, "Come on, go see why Mr. Ouyang hasn't come here yet." ”
Someone outside said yes, and there was no sound.
Green pothos and half bunch stood beside Zhao Shu and Sun Yun respectively, and their hands were trembling nervously. His lips were tightly pursed, and his little face was pale.
Zhao Shu glanced at the two girls and said, "Auntie, I want to go out and have a look." ”
Huo Danlan shook his head slightly. glanced at the prince sitting on the bed, he was leaning on a large pillow at this time, with a wooden face, such a scene, I am afraid it is not strange.
It doesn't have to be here. But who knows if there will be spies? Only by looking at it can you feel at ease, Huo Danlan sympathizes with this ill-fated prince, the respect of the prince, but he has suffered a lot.
What she didn't know was that in the past, no one would dare to assassinate the crown prince so 'blatantly', it is really a turbulent situation recently, everyone thinks that it is the best time to fight, and Emperor Mingde feels that this is the best time to concentrate imperial power. The princes and kings also felt that this was the time to exclude dissidents and seize the position.
In addition, the prince has gold mines in his hands, as long as he gets gold mines and has money and food, he can increase his strength.
After waiting for nearly two quarters of an hour, someone came to report that it was someone from the Huo family, "Girl, General Peng Xiao is here." ”
Huo Danlan got up and walked out excitedly, "Please." ”
Zhao Shu originally wanted to go out with her. But she still held back, she wanted to guard the prince, Zhao Shu didn't leave, and Sun Yun didn't leave. Suddenly, there was some embarrassment in the room.
After all, Sun Yun is a foreign daughter, and in the prince's house, no matter what, no one older one takes it, no matter how fierce the war is outside. She was extremely embarrassed after all.
It seemed that a large group of people were coming, and the shouting and killing outside was deafening, and the prince couldn't help but be excited when he heard that numb face, and he didn't know who sent troops over.
Zhao Shu remembered what Wei Tingsi said in the letter, and felt a little relieved, it seems that his father is about to arrive in Guanzhou, and General Peng Xiao also went to inspect the world with him, but at this time he actually rushed to help, I am afraid that the news of the prince here has been leaked out again.
It's really hard to prevent, the most infuriating thing, I don't know who leaked the news, the names of several people appeared in my mind, and Zhao Shu's face was as ugly as a layer of ice.
The crown prince has long been accustomed to it, no matter where he goes, he can attract countless killers, and he was extremely surprised that he could live so many days peacefully in the Huo family's Zhuangzi, Huo Danlan is really quite capable.
was thinking about what to do next, when he heard someone speak outside, "My lord, the little general, please, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is in the inner room." ”
Zhao Shu and Sun Yun glanced at each other, and covered their faces with veils, they were so nervous that they forgot about this stubble.
As soon as the veil was closed, I saw Huo Danlan leading Peng Rui, a small general of Peng, in, with Liu Huan by his side, Liu Huan saw the prince, and the dignified seven-foot man burst into tears, "Your Highness, the minister is late!" ”
He was the one who chose to follow the prince from the beginning, he was the patriarch of the ******, and he was also the prince's most powerful minister. ”
In such a scene, everyone watched and hung their heads silently, Peng Rui knelt beside the prince's bed, "The last general will see His Highness." ”
The crown prince is the first person to see himself since leaving Beijing, and he couldn't help crying, he tried his best to suppress the love that gushed out, but he shed two lines of tears, this is not the time to talk about what he has encountered in the past few months, so he stretched out his hand and trembled to help Peng Rui and Liu Huan.
The poison of the Heavenly Fairy has been completely removed, and the hands are no longer trembling, but they are still weak and weak, Liu Huan and Peng Rui are not pretentious, knowing that the most important thing now is to get through the difficulties, stand up, and suppress the feelings in their hearts, Liu Huan said: "Your Highness, don't worry, your situation Lord Wei has already told Weichen, and Weichen believes that His Highness will definitely get better." ”
He was sad in his heart, the prince's appearance was even more unbearable than he imagined, but he still had to firmly follow the prince's side and follow the prince's footsteps, now he has offended many people in the court, although he has the Huo family as the backing, but if he chooses other princes, it is no longer appropriate.
Sighing slightly, I hope the prince can really get better, among the emperor's sons, he is most optimistic about the prince, the prince is gentle and intelligent, generous and distinct, to make it look like this, but the enemy is outnumbered, in the case of the enemy and my outnumber, he can still save his life, which shows his ability.
Whether it is self-comforting or objective evaluation, Liu Huan has made up his mind at this time, and unswervingly follows behind the prince, if the prince is really unable to ascend the throne, he will resign and retire after the death of Emperor Mingde, and he will not lack this official position to add glory to himself.
Peng Rui looked at the prince's expression carefully, and sighed slightly, he was not the prince's person. It's just that he has a friendship with Wei Tingsi, the situation in Beijing is tense, and Wei Tingsi is busy with government affairs, so he originally followed King Yong to inspect the world. After receiving the flying pigeon from Wei Tingsi, he came overnight, and his soldiers had not rested for three days and three nights.
The prince pulled out a smile, "Thank you Liu Qing for coming." Lone was very moved, Lone also believed in getting better like Liu Qing, if it really couldn't get better, then it should be like this, Lone didn't force it. ”
This time, he called himself lonely, not a joke, but extremely solemn, saying that his attitude was fortunate to lose my life. Go with the flow, don't force it.
After that, he said to Peng Rui: "I don't know what happened to Uncle Nineteen? The little general came to Guanzhou, and Uncle Nineteen didn't know who was protecting? ”
Peng Rui felt quite strange, the first question His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asked was who was protecting His Royal Highness King Yong, and replied with his fists clenched: "Back to Your Highness, Deputy Commander Zhang and Adjutant Guo are still there, please Your Highness, the county lord rest assured, the prince has now returned from the south, and he will definitely be able to go to Guanzhou before the year." He said and didn't forget to look at Zhao Shu's strange appearance.
Zhao Shu also listened with pricked ears. If it weren't for the fact that the battle situation outside was still unknown, she really wanted to ask her father how she was now, and she was a little relieved to listen to Peng Rui's words at this time. Without the prince by his side, his father was much safer, and he saluted, "Thank you, little general." ”
"The county lord is polite, and it is the duty of the lower officials to protect the prince and His Royal Highness the Prince. I don't deserve the gratitude of the county lord. Peng Rui is dressed in a military uniform, and his body still exudes a murderous atmosphere that makes people retreat, he is young, but he has been practicing in the military camp for more than ten years, and he grew up in the army when he urinated, although he looks quite handsome, he is not the kind of person who is five big and three thick, but Zhao Shu knows that this person should not be underestimated.
A few people said that, and greeted each other, before talking about the situation outside, it was still Peng Rui who said, "Your Royal Highness, the county lord, Miss Huo, you can't stay here tomorrow, and you will send troops to escort a few people back to the city, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince still lives in the palace, and the emperor's will is also to let His Royal Highness the Prince live in the palace, and do his filial piety in front of the Queen Mother for the emperor, and then return to Beijing later." ”
"Father's will?" The prince asked suspiciously, his heart is cold, people are not afraid of being down, they are afraid of seeing through the hearts of people around them when they are down.
He didn't blame his father for not trying his best to find him, but no matter how he hinted at himself, his heart was still painful, and this time he was able to escape and ascend to heaven, all thanks to the Huo family, as well as Jiang Zuo, who took the lead in rescuing him from the dungeon, and the nineteenth uncle who blocked the sword for him.
Therefore, he dared to believe Zhao Shu, almost without doubt, and was willing to give her the gold mine, in his heart, Yongwangfu and the queen were of equal status.
He didn't dare to tell Zhao Shu about King Yong's sword blocking him, for fear that she would be worried, he understood what King Yong meant to Zhao Shu, if there was no King Yong, his sister would really be helpless.
"Yes, the emperor's will." He took out a Ming Huang holy decree from his bosom, did not read it, but handed it to the prince to look at.
As soon as the decree came out, everyone knelt down, and at the moment of kneeling, an arrow whistled, and the prince sat on the bed, and everyone knelt down, unobstructed, and the arrow went straight to his heart.
Kneeling in front of the bed were Liu Huan and Peng Rui, followed by Huo Danlan and Zhao Shu, and Zhao Shu was one step behind Sun Yun.
The arrow broke through the air, and it came in an instant, and everyone didn't react, Xiao Guozi kept following Zhao Shu's side, and when he saw the flying arrow coming, he instantly reached out and pulled Zhao Shu aside.
The magpie was also extremely fast, and she had pulled Huo Danlan to safety with a single spin, and this qiē action was done in an instant.
Zhihai's reaction was also extremely fast, a gust of wind swooped in, and as soon as he reached out and held it, he grabbed the arrow that broke through the air, and threw it over, throwing the arrow out, and at the same time, his whole person broke through the door like a flying eagle in the air and chased out.
Peng Rui and Liu Huan both had palpitations, and at the same time they were secretly frightened, they didn't expect that there were so many masters in the small room.
Zhao Shu was very angry, and the cold on her face seemed to be about to become a substance, "Xiao Guozi, why don't you protect Miss Sun?" ”
Xiao Guozi knelt down after listening to Zhao Shu's words, "The county lord forgives the sin, and the slave knows his mistake." ”
"Okay, okay, I'm fine, why are you so angry, what a big deal." Sun Yun hurriedly appeased, and at the same time winked at Xiao Guozi, asking him to kowtow to Zhao Shu quickly.
Xiao Guozi hurriedly kowtowed, "The county lord forgives the sin, the slave knows his mistakes, and next time he will protect Miss Sun." When Fang was at the last moment, he only thought that the county lord must not have anything to do, where did he remember that Zhao Shu had said that he must protect Miss Sun, although he always knew that the dead soldiers of the Sun family had been secretly protecting, but just like Fang Cai, if he was implicated, the dead soldiers could not react. This time he was derelict in his duties.
At this time, it was not the time to punish Xiao Guozi, so Zhao Shu went downhill on the donkey and said coldly: "After returning to the city, you will go and get the fifty boards yourself." ”
"Yes." Xiao Guozi breathed a sigh of relief. The buttocks hurt for a few days at most, but fortunately, the county lord was not punished.
"Little General, haven't the people outside dealt with it yet?" Huo Danlan asked, someone secretly released cold arrows, it was really impossible to prevent it.
Peng Rui gave up. "The young general brought 10,000 people here this time, presumably there is no suspense, please ask His Royal Highness the Prince, the county lord, Miss Huo, Miss Sun to wait a while, the young general will go and take a look."
He had a cold face, and after getting the nod of the prince, he walked away with a sword at his waist, and tonight he led 10,000 people to run thousands of miles. They rushed over day and night, and the soldiers were all holding back their strength in their hearts, and they had just arrived and divided up several groups of blacks.
His soldiers, he believed, were definitely elites, although they couldn't be compared with Lord Wei's subordinates, but they were dozens of times stronger than those wine bags and rice bags under Hao Xiao and Ning Guohou.
Striding out of Junhualou in the snow, he saw Zhihai come back after a while, his ugly face was even more terrifying in the night, but Peng Rui was the kind of person who looked at appearances. His gaze fell on the person in Zhihai's hand, and he was secretly frightened, if he saw it correctly, this person was following the monarch. In the room, he is the best.
For the strong, whether it is a eunuch or a normal man, Peng Rui has enough respect and nodded. The two staggered, and he continued walking.
After a while, he went out of the villa, and there was still a sea of fire around him, but the Huo family took a lot of thought when planning and building the Zhuangzi here, there were two walls, and when the fire spread to the outside of the wall, the first wall was torn down, and the earthen wall fell, overwhelming a piece of combustibles, revealing two rows of large water tanks, which were filled with water.
The second wall is too high, it is still a blue brick wall, and it is not easy to burn, and the Huo family stretched out a long scoop stained with water in the green brick wall, and they didn't need to show their faces at all, so they isolated the fire from Zhuangzi.
In addition, now that the snow is overwhelming, even if it is a distant fire, it is not appropriate to set fire to a single grass or tree.
"General, all the people have been captured, should they be killed or stayed?"
Peng Rui's face was cold, Xiao Rui's murderous aura was full of anger, and he strode to the place where the man in black was bound, and his eyes swept over the five artillery, "They are all buried alive." ”
Walking to the artillery, he reached out and touched it, "It's still a good thing, and I didn't carry it back to Pengcheng." ”
"Yes, General." The centurion who was carrying the cannon back to Pengcheng smirked early in the morning, he was still scribbling, how to persuade the general to allow him to carry things back to Pengcheng, I didn't expect the little general to have the demeanor of an old general, you don't know that many of the best armor and weapons in Pengcheng were robbed......
This time, he inspected the world with the little general to protect His Royal Highness King Yongwang, and saw the armor worn by the soldiers of the Yongwang Mansion, the weapons in his hands, and the military boots on his feet, he was extremely jealous.
The daggers in the hands of the soldiers of the Yongwang Mansion are all sharpened like clay, although it is exaggerated, but it is really a good thing.
It's just that the equipment is high, Yongwangfu feels sorry for people, and treats them as soldiers, and the military salary is still so high, isn't this sincere and disgusting? Really, fortunately, the soldiers of the other palaces are also living like people, and their generals treat them well, otherwise he would really go to the Yongwang Mansion to join Commander Mo.
Peng Rui didn't know his subordinates, he was envious and jealous in his heart, and he watched the fire gradually dim, "But there are still fish that have slipped through the net?" ”
"My subordinates are searching, but it's almost." The centurion hurriedly replied.
Peng Rui kicked him in the stomach, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince almost died, you told Lao Tzu about it, Lao Tzu wants it?" ”
The centurion is a soldier who is jealous of the Yongwang Mansion, and he speaks carelessly for a while, and he has committed a taboo, and these words are all said to his brothers, how can he say the same as the general, and he must answer exactly the slightest bit before he can barely qualify.
He hurriedly got up and stroked his crooked military hat, "My subordinates will go to check, and the general will be angry." ”
"Don't get out of here!" Peng Rui is the most proficient general under the Wei Tingsi, and this time His Royal Highness the Crown Prince almost died, it is simply unreasonable, and it is a big shame.
When his subordinates saw that his face was frosty, they all cheered up 120,000 spirits, and although they were sleepy, they didn't dare to take a nap for even a breath.
Junhualou, Zhihai came back with a human head, and the ugly grandmother also appeared, she was stained with a large amount of blood, and she also carried a human head in her hand, but she did not enter the room, the two human heads were placed in one place, Huo Danlan gasped when she saw it. (To be continued.) )
