Chapter 240: Soldiers Coming to the City

Previous Chapter

"Chief Ma, the right commander of the Imperial Forest Army has just sent someone to report that King Rui's army has surrounded the palace wall." Huangfu Jingwen was still changing clothes, and a little eunuch came in in a hurry to report to Ma Hui.

"Nonsense!" Ma Hui reprimanded, "The walls of the capital are impregnable, and there are the Imperial Forest Army, the army of King Min and the horses, how can Huangfu Jingyao attack the capital so quickly, this is absolutely impossible." ”

The little eunuch wiped the beads of sweat from his head, and he didn't know whether he was afraid or anxious, he stammered and said: "Really, the slave doesn't dare to talk nonsense, and the person who came to deliver the message said that it was King Min and the horse who suddenly attacked and opened the city gate. When the leader of the Imperial Forest Army reacted, King Rui's army had already merged with King Min and the horses, and they couldn't resist. ”

Ma Hui's face turned pale, this is a big deal, he must report to the emperor immediately.

Hurriedly entered the Minxun Palace, Ma Hui walked to Huangfu Jingwen's side and said: "Your Majesty, King Min and the horse are reversed, Huangfu Jingyao has arrived outside the palace, and I'm afraid the Imperial Forest Army won't last long outside." ”

There seems to be a thunderbolt on a sunny day, Huangfu Jingwen's body is a little unstable, how can King Min and Ren Ziqian rebel, is it - in an instant, Huangfu Jingwen came over in vain, these two people have been Huangfu Jingyao people for a long time, and they entered the capital to meet Huangfu Jingyao inside and outside. They actually stood on the side of Huangfu Jingyao, one was a younger brother and the other was a brother-in-law, and they all betrayed him, is he really so unpopular?

"Your Majesty, Imperial Concubine······ Imperial Concubine······ Missing. Someone came in to report it, but it was another shocking news.

"What did you say!" Huangfu Jingwen is really on the verge of getting out of control, where did Xiang Wan go? Does it have anything to do with Huangfu Jingyao? Or is there someone else who wants to take advantage of the chaos? Could it be the queen mother?

"Ma Hui, immediately send someone to the Cihe Palace to search, anyone who dares to stop will be killed."

Ma Hui went to Cihe Palace with people in a hurry, but found that the silence in Cihe Palace was terrible, and he looked around, but there was no imperial concubine at all, and even the Queen Mother and Mama Li were not there. casually caught a little eunuch and asked, only to know that the Queen Mother and Mama Li left with the imperial concubine.

"Did you find someone?" Huangfu Jingwen is really a lonely person at this moment, and he hopes that Chu Xiangwan will be by his side at least at this time.

"Your Majesty, the imperial concubine was indeed taken away by the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother heard the news of the siege of the Huangfu Jingyao army, and took the imperial concubine to Dengyun Tower."

Huangfu Jingwen did not hesitate, he already understood the intention of the queen mother, maybe the queen mother wanted Xiang Wan's life at first because of the queen ceremony, but now because of the siege of Huangfu Jingyao, she wants to threaten him to withdraw and surrender.

It seems that she can still recall the scene when she stood in Dengyun Tower and watched Huangfu Jingyao go to the border, when Qian'er was still by her side, she didn't understand her relationship with Huangfu Jingyao, and asked her why she cried. Looking at Huangfu Jingyao, who was dressed in black and gold armor and wearing a navy blue under the palace wall, as well as the same solemn expression of the 200,000 troops behind him, Chu Xiangwan smiled, this is the true appearance of Huangfu Jingyao, decisive and domineering, this battlefield, this world, should be in his bag.

Huangfu Jingyao raised his head and looked at the touch of simplicity on the Dengyun Tower, it seemed that it was still the same as when he first met, Chu Xiangwan was still the woman who was as indifferent as a cold plum, but the weathered in her eyes was distressing. He smiled too, yes, after today, he can finally love the woman who taught him to haunt his dreams.

"Sure enough, it is a woman with water-based poplars, so in front of everyone, she dares to secretly send Qiubo to Huangfu Jingyao, a traitor and thief, shamelessly! You won't be able to laugh anymore, though. The Queen Mother gritted her teeth in Chu Xiangwan's ear, but she was also proud. Huangfu Jingyao cares so much about Chu Xiangwan, presumably this chip is very useful.

"Huangfu Jingyao, you dare to rebel, it is a capital crime." The Queen Mother said loudly on the Dengyun Tower, and after a pause, she continued, "If you are willing to surrender, I will let the emperor see that you will be spared a life for the sake of the same royal blood, if you are still stubborn, the first one in this palace wall to die because of your stupidity, you should know who it is!" ”

The meaning of the Queen Mother's words is already obvious, Chu Xiangwan's life and death are in her hands, and Huangfu Jingyao can only save Chu Xiangwan's life if she is obedient and obedient.

"Mother, no!" Huangfu Jingwen arrived at this time, and he walked to the side of the Queen Mother to stop him.

"At this time, you still have to protect this slut! Look at it, if it weren't for the fear of this slut's life in our hands, I'm afraid that Huangfu Jingyao would have already stepped on the palace gate at this moment. Your Majesty, it's time to wake up! "The Queen Mother was furious, this son is really not angry, just a woman, why bother to be so persistent.

"Lord Wang, the people have arrived." Hongxia came on horseback, followed by the important ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, and they were all taken under the palace walls.

A few upright courtiers stepped forward and said angrily: "King Rui, we respect your hard work in fighting for the Great Zhou over the years, but you are now a rebel, if you insist on going your own way, we would rather die than bow to you." ”

Huangfu Jingyao nodded to Chu Xiangwan on the city tower to signal her to rest assured, turned his head and said to the important ministers of the court not far away: "My lords, do you all think that my Huangfu Jingyao is a rebel and a thief plotting against the usurpation of the throne?" ”

The ministers talked a lot, many people nodded, and some of the timid ones did not dare to speak, but the expressions on their faces said everything.

"Okay, if you want to be famous, this king will make you famous."

As soon as he finished speaking, a man walked out of the back row of the army, his trembling body still needed help, and his hair was gray, but it seemed that someone had recognized him and began to whisper.

"It's ······" Some of the old ministers were puzzled and said, "Yes······ The chief eunuch of the first emperor, Chen Gonggong. ”

"How could he be with King Rui?

"What is he showing up for today?"

"By the way, it is said that he left the palace when the emperor died, but I didn't expect it to appear at this time."

Chen Jing's appearance was like a thunderclap on the ground, making everyone guess Huangfu Jingyao's intentions.

The Queen Mother on the Dengyun Tower was already as pale as earth the moment Chen Jing appeared, and Huangfu Jingwen looked at the Queen Mother's face and knew that something shocking truth he didn't know was about to be revealed.

"Come on, shoot that eunuch immediately, come on!" The Queen Mother was hysterical, but no one on the city tower dared to make a move.

"Queen Mother, Gonggong Chen hasn't spoken yet, why be in such a hurry to silence it, it's time to clear the clouds and see the light of day in the old case that has been covered by your hands for so many years." Huangfu Jingxin spoke up, and there was anger in that voice, implying that the Queen Mother could no longer hide the truth. (To be continued.) )
