Chapter 176~177 Pride
Although she didn't know how to do light work, because she had mastered special footwork and skills, she only stepped a little, and her figure had already jumped into the dark shadows under the pedestal outside the imperial study, so fast that the few palace people standing with their heads down didn't see anyone flickering at all, and they didn't even lift their eyelids.
After sneaking for a while, another team of guards passed by, Jiang Yu seized the opportunity to detour to the bushes in the back window, ran forward two steps and then jumped lightly, hooked her legs to bear the dust, and hung upside down.
Her delicate face was hidden under the face scarf, revealing only a pair of bright and deep apricot eyes, and she calmed down a little, and she vaguely heard a laugh from inside:
"Come on, beauty, you're losing now." It was a low and hoarse voice that had not yet completely ended the little emperor's voice change period.
Then Yingying Yanyan's voice laughed nonsense: "The emperor is really, your man is a big husband, why don't you let your concubines." ”
"That's right, if the concubine doesn't follow, don't have loose clothes."
"But what you said, if you lose the guess, you will get rid of one of the wrong questions. Still not taken off? ”
"Your Majesty!"
Jiaodidi's voice seemed to be complaining, but there was obvious temptation and joy, Jiang Yu only saw a dimly reflected figure on the window screen, which seemed to be wearing blue clothes, and a few women, which could not be seen from a distance.
Anger rose in her heart - for him, Huo Shijiu couldn't sleep and eat at home every day, and he was exhausted, he was good, he was happy here, such a "game" actually made it to the imperial study!
Jiang Yu didn't bother to listen any longer, and the patrolling soldiers were about to arrive, so she hurriedly landed lightly on a backflip, and then lowered her body and rolled back behind the bushes.
She just hid it. Another group of patrolling guards turned around the corner.
When the light of the lantern fades away. Jiang Yu leaned over and looked at the brightly lit imperial study. At this distance, the absurdity in the room is not real, only the figures can be seen.
Jiang Yu did not rush back immediately. She cautiously held her breath and hid behind the trees.
Even though she was a little annoyed by the absurdity of the little emperor, she also vaguely felt that if the "fire as an order" he said was true, such an approach was most likely to paralyze the British duke.
On second thought, so many years. Hasn't the little emperor always been like this? He became more and more absurd under Huo Nineteen's "teaching", Huo Nineteen was saddled with the infamy of teaching the little emperor to seek personal gain, and the little emperor also successfully relaxed the vigilance of the British duke, otherwise the British duke would have allowed him to grow up safely.
Jiang Yu stood still, thinking that when the emperor had had enough, he was about to move to the palace to rest and follow, avoiding the careful questioning of others. Since he came once, he couldn't bring any news back to Huo Shijiu.
She lay dormant and did not move for more than an hour. In the middle of July, the weather was still very hot. There were also many mosquitoes in the bushes, and it didn't take long for Jiang Yan's night clothes to be soaked with sweat. There are also mosquitoes buzzing in the ears from time to time. But she remained motionless. In her previous life, when she was on a sniper mission, she used to stay motionless for more than thirty-six hours without eating or drinking in order to keep an eye on the target.
Jiang Yu waited patiently, and in a blink of an eye, it was time for the moon to rise and fall. The lights in the imperial study went out a few times, and the light dimmed, and several beautiful women in colorful costumes left the imperial study, including Ye Cheng.
After a few moments, the palace people outside prepared hot water and carried it to the back door of the imperial study.
Jiang Yu hurriedly slipped over while no one was noticing, and found that behind the imperial study was a very spacious bedroom, and the little emperor was wearing a bright yellow bedrobe and was being served by the palace people to wash.
Jiang Yu hid under the window, patiently waiting for the palace people to disperse and the opportunity to come.
Who knew that after a while, there was a small sedan chair not far away, and out of it came a beautiful girl wearing only a tulle bedclothes, long hair scattered, and skin looming.
Jing Tong went to greet the woman, and immediately turned off a few lights in the house, leaving only some faint light. The palace attendants withdrew, leaving only a few people to watch their noses and noses, and there were guards patrolling back and forth.
It wasn't long before a shy gasp was heard in the room.
Jiang Yu felt that this work of listening to the wall was really unbearable! It seems that even if you stay, you may not be able to ask anything. The little emperor avoided Huo Nineteen, I am afraid that he already had a plan. Now she just needs to be sure that he is safe and go back and inform Huo Nineteen.
Thinking of this, Jiang Fei flew up, carefully avoided the patrolling guards, and left the palace the same way.
Coming to the dark street, Jiang Wei glanced back at the majestic red-walled glazed tile palace, and pouted helplessly. Anyway, this trip can make sure that the little emperor is not accused of being accused, and he is still enjoying it, and Huo Shijiu does not have to worry.
Jiang Yu got up and rushed to the mansion where she lived these days. I knew that I was only halfway through the journey, but I heard a very rapid ringing of the bell, and when I looked back, I saw thick smoke billowing in the sky above the direction of the palace, and the light of the fire was faintly visible.
Jiang Wei's heart jumped, she didn't expect that the little emperor would implement the plan tonight, so she hurriedly rushed to the front of the courtyard in a few breaths.
Huo Jiu and Cao Yu had already led the horses in front of the door, both of them were dressed in black, and they were talking in a low voice, seeing Jiang Yan's figure falling lightly from the wall, Huo Jiujiu let out a long breath and said with a little anxiety: "Girl, come with me." ”
Jiang Wei's footsteps did not stop, and when she shook her head, she had already flown onto the back of the "dark cloud".
The dark cloud seemed to be very excited, and hissed.
Huo Shijiu and Cao Yu turned their horses' heads and headed to the west of the city, Jiang Yu followed closely beside the two of them, and said, "I just met the emperor, but I didn't have a chance to speak......
While moving forward, Jiang Yu told Huo Nineteen in detail what she had seen and heard in the palace.
Huo Shijiu's heart has been hanging for many days, and he can finally let go at this moment, facing the evening breeze, and running on the bluestone brick road with a dark glow under the bright moonlight, he tightens the reins with one hand, and protects the tiger talisman weighing more than a thousand catties in his arms with the other.
Although I don't know what the emperor's plan is. But Huo 19 only hoped that this time he could take down the British Duke in one fell swoop.
They turned their backs to the palace wall that had been billowing with thick smoke all the way, and rushed to Fuchengmen. The soldiers left behind here were arranged by Huo Shijiu a long time ago, and the three of them were not hindered, so they went to the 3,000 battalion camp outside the city.
Because there has been a plan for a long time. The 3,000 battalion of Yiying people had already made adequate preparations. For the arrangement of his side. Huo Nineteen still has confidence, as long as the fireworks at the 3,000 battalions are zero, the five military battalions and the Shenji battalion will immediately respond.
The three of them rode their horses fast, and because they were worried about the emperor's safety in the palace, Huo Shijiu's equestrian skills were more than usual.
Seeing that the military camp was not far away, Jiang Yu suddenly said, "You go first, I won't follow." He slowed down as he spoke.
Huo Shijiu and Cao Yu also slowed down.
Huo Nineteen said: "You still go in with me, what if you encounter any danger outside?" ”
Jiang Wei shook her head and said, "I'll go in later." First ask the ink dye to accompany you. ”
If it was left on weekdays, Huo Shijiu would definitely ask Jiang Yu carefully about the reason, but today the matter is urgent, and the palace has already set fire to it, so he is waiting for him to bring someone there. Besides, Huo Jiujiu also knew what Jiang Wei's skills were, even if she was outside, she would definitely not be in danger.
The situation was urgent, so he had to nod reluctantly: "Okay, you must be careful and pay attention to safety." Don't be strong. ”
"I know, you guys go quickly."
Huo Shijiu and Cao Yu waved their horsewhips. Went in the direction of the barracks.
Jiang Wei immediately stood on the side of the road, under the bright light of the full moon. Her shadow and the "dark clouds" were stretched for a long time.
Turned over and dismounted, leading the "dark cloud" to the woods beside the road.
Jiang Wei didn't tie it, she pulled over the bridle with a smile and touched the bridge of its nose, "'Dark Cloud', you are waiting for me here, if I can't come back in the future, then I will give you freedom." ”
"Dark Cloud" seemed to understand Jiang Wei's words, and arched Jiang Wei's shoulder with his nose very reluctantly.
Jiang Wei smiled and grabbed its head, kissed it on the center of its eyebrows, then dropped the reins and flew in the direction of the barracks.
After slenderly reaching out for four or five feet, I heard a long hiss of dark clouds behind me, but I didn't chase after them.
Sure enough, the horse was spiritual, and it could understand her words, and the neighing Jiang Yu understood as worry.
At this time, Huo Nineteen had already arrived with Cao Yu in front of the gate made of logs the thickness of the bowl mouth of the camp outside the 3,000 camp.
Huo Shijiu said to the person guarding the door: "Open the door." Then he raised his right hand. What he held in his hand was a smooth jade tiger talisman, and the tiger on it showed its fangs, and its momentum was cold.
"Yes!" The soldiers did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly went inside to spread the word, and soon a burly man in dark armor and a burly figure walked out quickly.
Seeing Huo Jiu, he first arched his hand: "Marquis of Jinning." ”
"Well, there is a change in the city, and it is going according to the original plan."
The man was the general of the 3,000 battalions, and immediately bowed his hand and said: "The Marquis of Jinning will come to the tent first to have a cup of tea, and there will be a hard battle later, you two should rest for a while, and the last general will immediately go to order all the men and horses, and follow the Hou Ye into the city." ”
Huo Shijiu had never brought troops, and he didn't do anything about dispatching troops, and he felt that what he said made sense, so he went to the antechamber of a tall and majestic wooden building in the barracks with Cao Yu.
Immediately, a soldier sent a blue and white porcelain teapot and two rough pottery bowls: "Jinning Hou, please use it." ”
Huo Shijiu is the most particular about "not getting tired of being fine and not tired of being fine", and he is very picky about eating and drinking. But at this moment in the barracks, when he thought that everyone was eating and drinking the same, he didn't think much about it, he happened to be thirsty, so he took the teapot and poured most of the bowl of tea himself to eat, and Cao Yu was the same.
When the two were eating tea, they didn't notice anyone peeping.
Jiang Yu squatted on the roof at this time, leaned down, observed the situation in the house through the gap in the tiles, and looked back at the cavalry that was rapidly gathering on the school field outside.
At this time, Jiang Yu was really relieved. The rest depends entirely on how the emperor lays it out.
She lurked on the rooftop, waiting for Huo Shijiu and Cao Yu to enter the city with the army.
But after another stick of incense, the cavalry on the school field was already lined up and silent, and the main general also led a group of people to the main house.
Jiang Yu was watching the excitement, but suddenly heard a conversation in the house.
"Mo Ran, why do I feel dizzy, what about you?"
Cao Yu rubbed his eyebrows and said, "Me seems to be too." ”
Huo Nineteen was stunned, and the secret way was not good, so he hurriedly stood up.
But his body shook the moment he stood up, and then he fell back on the circle chair as if he had lost all his strength.
"Master!" Cao Yu hurriedly stepped forward to help, but he was also strong in martial arts, and he felt that his feet were very vain, as if he was about to fall at any time.
At this time, the general had already led the lieutenant general and his entourage to the door of the house and knocked on the door casually. He said in a loud voice: "Marquis of Jinning." The last general has already summoned all the men. Wait for the Hou Ye to order. ”
Huo Shijiu was dizzy at this time, and his eyelids were so heavy that he seemed to be unable to lift them.
He is already extremely smart, where can he not guess the reason, and for a while he only feels that his heart is like ashes, and sadness comes from it.
Unexpectedly, the emperor's fire was the order for him?
"As for it...... The little one I ......" Huo Nineteen muttered in his mouth, because his disobedient tongue was a little indistinct.
Cao Yu bit the tip of his tongue to restore clarity. In an instant, his mouth was full of blood, and he staggered thousands of ways to block Huo Nineteen: "Master, I'll escort you away!" ”
"No, Mozen, you go." Huo Nineteen's voice became even more indistinct, and his voice gradually weakened.
"No! I must not leave you behind! Cao Yu went to help Huo Nineteen with both hands, but the original strength seemed to be lost at this moment. Even though I tried hard twice, I couldn't lift the person up.
He relied on his inner strength and willpower, but he couldn't let his body listen to his call again, nor could he take him out of the encirclement, and his own strength was slowly draining.
The guards in front of the house and their accompanying captains and enlisted men. Burst into laughter when he heard a conversation in the house.
Without hesitation, Squeak pushed open the door.
The leading general commanded: "Tie them up." ”
"General. They've already been drugged, so why bother? ”
"Don't underestimate the enemy, this Cao Gongzi is a top master, and his martial arts are unfathomable, how can you relax if you don't tie it up?"
"What the general said is, for the sake of completeness, it's better to tie people up." The adjutant general waved his hand and ordered his soldiers to fetch the rope and walk towards Huo Shijiu and Cao Yu.
Huo Shijiu's consciousness had gradually withdrawn, and the dull pain in his chest was unprecedented. The effect of the drug is powerful, but what hurts him the most is the emperor's actions.
He has complete trust in the emperor, he will do whatever he says, and he has given everything he can for him all these years. The only thing that resisted the decree was that there was no princess of Shang Jinguo. He thought that what he had done for Dayan was almost the limit of what he could do, wasn't it enough?
Could it be that just as Jiang Wei was worried, he had a reputation as a traitor outside, and the emperor believed it?
Could it be that the emperor doesn't remember how they came step by step, and doesn't remember how his reputation came about?
At this point, he no longer hates. Just laugh at yourself for being stupid.
When he and Cao Yu encountered this, did they all go to their parents and family members in the fiefdom......
Huo Jiu gritted his teeth, and his gums were bloody due to the excessive force, and his mouth was full of rust.
I can't imagine that he has ended up in this situation, not only tired himself, but also harmed his family and friends, if his parents and children can't survive, Yu'er will hate him to death. He might as well just go.
When Huo Jiu's heart turned around, Cao Yu still held on to his breath, and stared coldly at the four or five pawns who took the rope and wanted to get close to the two of them.
The four or five people laughed when they saw such a delicate and beautiful weak scholar with such an expression.
The generals and lieutenants in the back also laughed and said:
"I really can't imagine that the world-famous 'Void Sword' Cao Moran looks like a girl, if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, my brothers wouldn't have believed it!"
"Come, brothers, tie them up and tie them strongly, so that they don't run off the road!"
"Yes!" The pawn should be, and he pounced forward.
Cao Yu clenched his fists with both hands, but he couldn't even use the strength to clench his fists, he was conceited of his martial arts, and he didn't want to worry about his own way, so Huo Shijiu was in trouble......
Just as he was overflowing with guilt and the pawn was about to approach, a sudden sound of breaking came from the top of his head, and in an instant, tiles fell like rain, and the smashed generals and lieutenants all screamed and scattered to hide.
Immediately, a black shadow suddenly stood in front of Cao Yu and Huo Shijiu, the long black hair hung down on the waist, the dagger with silver light was held horizontally in front of his right hand, and the black masked face was covered with only a pair of oblique sword eyebrows and a pair of deep and bright apricot eyes exposed, the dagger reflected the light, the light was cold, and the murderous aura was awe-inspiring.
Cao Yu's heart jumped, looking at the back of Jiang Yu who was standing in front of him and Huo Shijiu, she was excited and anxious, and she couldn't say a word.
Huo Shijiu was even more excited, and he also learned from Cao Yu to bite his tongue, and forcibly held on to prevent himself from falling asleep, letting the things in front of him spin around, still reluctantly looking at Jiang Yu's back. He moved his lips and barely squeezed out two words: "Let's go!" "Fool, she could not have come!
Jiang Yu didn't look back. But he chuckled.
Because of the men's dress. The voice is also hoarse and soft.
"What a group of loyal and courageous people. A group of heroes who have been trained in the barracks. The sarcasm in the words was clear, and he completely ignored Huo Shijiu, the dagger in his right hand flashed, and a bloody wound had already opened on the neck of the nearest pawn holding a rope.
Blood swords gushed, reflecting a warm rainbow on the white curtains. And the moment the pawn fell to the ground holding his neck, the saber on his waist had been pulled out by Jiang Wei and held in his left hand.
This qiē only happens for a moment.
The general watched as his men were killed. But he didn't even have time to react, and between his breaths, the black-clothed young man was already with a knife in his left hand and a dagger in his right hand, protecting Huo Shijiu and Cao Yu again.
He was immediately furious and said kindly: "Give it to me!" Catch it alive! ”
"Yes! Checkmate! ”
And when they received the order, they rushed forward.
Each of them had swords issued by the 3,000 battalions in their hands, and although they were ordered by the general to be "captured alive", they did not say that they would be unharmed. It was because they didn't care much about it, and someone attacked Jiang Yan. There are also people who want to arrest Cao Yu and Huo Shijiu.
Jiang Wei's left and right hands flickered, and her petite figure was as swift as a cheetah. Shuttling around those who dared to approach him, the dagger stabbed out, stabbing into the heart of a man, and the saber slid through it, cutting off a head.
She will not be foolish to think about what all beings are equal and what life is precious. She only had one thought, that is, she must take Huo Nineteen out safely! Whoever wants to touch a hair of his hair, she will kill him!
Such fierce, so awe-inspiring, such crazy killing and powerful momentum, the frightened pawns in the house did not dare to move forward for a while.
Cao Yu saw that Jiang Yu had harvested several lives in the blink of an eye, and a desperate hatred for death was also stimulated full of enthusiasm, even though he was drugged and couldn't lift his strength, let alone exercise, but he didn't know where the strength came from, he still got up and helped Huo Jiufu, who was weak.
"Master, hold on!"
There was a thin blood thread sliding from the corner of Huo Jiu's mouth, which was the blood flowing from his gums when he gritted his teeth too hard.
He nodded heavily, sobering himself up with pain, gritting his teeth and breathing.
Even if he died here, with Jiang Wei protecting him so wholeheartedly, he would have no regrets in this life.
Jiang Yu saw the movement of Huo Shijiu and Cao Yu out of the corner of her eyes, and she was greatly relieved, and she became more and more motivated, protected the two of them behind her, broke through in front of the house, and killed four or five more people in the blink of an eye.
Seeing that the comer was so fierce that he killed people without blinking, the general was also angry, and snorted coldly: "Although there are not many soldiers in my 3,000 battalions, they are all elite cavalry, so I don't believe you can escape!" Come on, line up! Catch me alive! ”
"Yes!" Behind him, the lieutenant and the lieutenant saluted and shouted, and the voice raised by anger seemed to be terrifying in the silence of the night.
Jiang Yu's eyes were quiet.
She knew that even if she tried her best, she might not be able to successfully take Huo Nineteen away today.
After all, what the general said was true, the 3,000 battalions were indeed the emperor's elite cavalry.
Riding on foot, and she is still alone against everyone, it is simply impossible to win.
But it was impossible for her to leave Huo Shijiu and Cao Yu alone.
She opened her left arm, protected the two people who were supporting each other behind her with a saber in her left hand, and the dagger in her right hand was still horizontal in front of her.
The cavalry in a neat formation on the school field had already mounted their horses and ran towards them in formation. The sound of horses' hooves is neat and deafening.
Jiang Yu looked at the people and horses like a marquee, but she was not afraid.
The general said proudly: "You alone, can you defeat so many cavalry?" If you know the times, leave on your own, for the sake of you being a man, I will never order anyone to hunt you down. However, Jin Ninghou and Cao Escort couldn't leave. ”
Huo Jiu's ears were buzzing, and he couldn't hear the general's words clearly, but he also analyzed the general situation, and hurriedly said: "Go, leave us alone, go quickly!" "This family, it is also his satisfaction that she can survive!
Who knew that Jiang Yan heard this, but she laughed loudly.
Her laughter is hearty, full of pride, and it is very penetrating in the night illuminated by the bright moon, so that everyone around her can feel her pride.
"There are only three of us, but General Labor mobilized 3,000 battalions of 3,000 elite cavalry to surround it, even if we die in battle today, it should be passed down as a good story!"
When the words fell, there was another series of hearty laughter, as if he was full of contempt and ridicule for the person in front of him, and for the people who ordered the Jinluan Palace, and he didn't care about his life or death.
Such arrogance and courage made everyone around him moved, even the general looked at Jiang Yu with complicated eyes, and then said in a deep voice: "What a young man who is not afraid of life and death, but you are so stubborn, just wait to be arrested!" He turned around and commanded: "Array!" (To be continued......)
