Chapter 315~316 Repulsion
The British Duke was angry, because he didn't consider what the consequences would be, but Jiang Xuewen would rather hit his head and bleed to correct Huo Shijiu's name, and when people's hearts were shaken, he ordered people to break through in a hurry, which was too reverie. The strategists who accompanied him frowned and looked at each other, but who had the courage to question it when the British public was angry?
Originally, the British public had nothing to fear, let alone bring a thousand people to "copy" the Huo family, even if they led troops to besiege the palace, these people would not find it novel. They follow the English duke, don't they know the ambition of the British duke? Now is just the beginning.
Nearly 1,000 men and horses who were waiting for the battle, under the orders of the British duke, were about to rush to the palace.
Jiang Xuewen's head was dizzy, and his eyes were about to crack: "I can't imagine that he really dares!" ”
"He has no fear, why should he not dare." Jiang Yu shook her hand slightly, and two daggers slipped out of her sleeve and landed on her hand.
Who knew that she was just about to step forward, but she suddenly stopped, and looked at the corner of the street with a slight raised sword eyebrow.
I could only hear a deafening sound of horses' hooves from far and near, and at the beginning of the rising sun, under the faint light of the sky, the two columns of cavalry wearing dark light armor were like two steel knives, tearing two openings in the originally dense crowd, and they came in a neat line like a separate tide. The red tassels of the black armor of the leader swayed in the wind, and he said loudly: "Three thousand battalions of soldiers and horses have been transferred to follow the orders of the Marquis of Jinning!" ”
That person's voice was low and loud, it was Jiao Zhongyi!
Jiang Yu sighed secretly, and the dagger in her hand retracted into her sleeve without a trace.
Huo Shijiu said gently: "General Jiao has worked hard. ”
As he spoke, he looked far away and found that Jiao Zhongyi had not brought too many people, and it seemed that there were only about three or four hundred people.
Under the circumstance that the British brought nearly 1,000 men and horses to surround Huofu. Three or four hundred and three thousand battalions of elites. Resist the main gate and not be conquered, and still feel that the space is narrow and cannot be opened. If you really start, I am afraid that the front will drag on for a long time, don't say whether someone in the house will take advantage of the situation, just say that the people who are still watching the show are not afraid of the high stage......
If they really do it, are they still alive?
Why don't you leave soon?
Huo Jiujiu looked at the ordinary people who he was trying to protect, but had been misunderstanding him, and he was a little powerless for a moment.
Jiao Zhongyi had already led his men to ride his horse to the gate of the Hou Mansion, and the 3,000 soldiers of Xuanjia urged the horses to form a circle of protection in front of the gate of the Hou Mansion and around the courtyard wall.
The British Duke sneered. Put away the delicate little comb, and said in a sharp and hoarse voice: "Jiao Zhongyi, you are so bold, you dare to make good use of three thousand battalion soldiers, and suddenly enter the city, what are your intentions!" It's not going to be the other way around! ”
Without waiting for Jiao Zhongyi to speak, Huo Shijiu had already shown the tiger talisman and held it high. The jade has a soft matte glow in the sun.
"The tiger charm is here, and General Jiao is transferred into the city. And the emperor gave me permission to deploy 3,000 battalions of soldiers and horses, Grandpa Guo wouldn't know about it, right? Today, Grandpa Guo came to my house to raise the teacher and mobilize the people. If you want to break through on a crime indiscriminately, do you want others to sit back and wait for you to be killed? ”
Jiao Zhongyi pulled out the saber at his waist with a "sigh". Pointing ahead, he said: "Three thousand battalion soldiers listen to the order!" Today, I swear to defend the Hou Mansion to the death, and those who trespass will be killed! ”
"Whoa!"
The generals responded in unison, and their prestige was vibrating, after all, they were real soldiers, and most of the people brought by the British public were the guards he raised and the people of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, although they did not lose in numbers, but they fell below in momentum.
When the common people saw the bright blade shining in the sun, they were finally a little afraid. Groups of three or five were about to leave, and those who didn't lost their lives to watch the excitement.
But when he was about to retreat, he found that there were too many people crowded on both sides of the wide open space in front of the Hou Mansion, and he couldn't get out for a while!
There was a rush and a commotion in the crowd.
Standing on the platform, looking into the distance, the pushing and shoving of the people and the British public are clear. The British clearly wanted to use these people who heard the news to threaten and contain him!
On the street, the people and horses of the two sides are clearly distinguished, and when they really fight, there is already a huge disparity in numbers, and even if the house is equipped with strict guards, it can't control how many people on the other side break in, not to mention that there are so many innocent people.
None of this is a big deal.
What if his men had the upper hand, and the enraged British really didn't care what was justified and launched a mutiny?
Huo Nineteen stood with his hands down, his back still straight, and his color was as usual. But the fists behind his back gradually clenched, so tight that his fingertips were white.
The British Duke proudly raised the corner of his lips and snorted: "Today, the old man just wants to eliminate harm for the people and seek justice for the emperor." I didn't want to kill, if the Marquis of Jinning was captured, the old man would not move a single soldier, just take you away. As for whether the people in your family need to be arrested, you will have to be interrogated before making a decision. If the Marquis of Jinning does not comply, he will blame the old man for turning his face and being ruthless! ”
Knowing that this was the coaxing of the British duke, Huo Shijiu knew that this was not the time to be reckless. really made a move and angered the British duke, and the consequences were unbearable for any of them.
If it's like this, won't the emperor know?
Or does it depend on how the emperor chooses to stay in the palace?
Huo Jiu hesitated, and was about to speak, but suddenly saw two figures on both sides of his body like lightning, and flashed away with a "whoosh". Cao Yu, who was dressed in a light gray robe, was like a big peng, rushing straight to the direction of the British public, and Jiang Yu's body was not inferior at all, and she had already entered the layers of guards around the British public body in a flash. When she turned around, two silver lights flashed, and someone had already fallen down with a cry of pain.
The British duke was in chaos: "Protector Grandpa!" Protector Grandpa! ”
The masters gathered around one after another, panickedly resisting the approach of the two figures.
The British bluff's face turned pale, and he retreated again and again: "Quick, catch these two quickly!" He said in a sharp voice: "Arrest the traitor for the old man!" ”
"You dare!" Jiang Wei scolded angrily, the silver light in her hand flashed, and the man who had just pulled out the frame to fight with her covered his neck with his eyes wide open and fell to the ground suddenly, and the blood spurted out splashed on Jiang Yumi's home clothes, and also splashed on her white face as white as jade, flying under the sword eyebrows, and her eyes were cold and fierce. It was as if a beast that had been hungry for a few days had seen its prey: "You dare to touch a single hair of my husband." I want your whole family to be buried with you! ”
She slashes neatly. Jiang Xuewen and Jiang Chenfeng had already been dumbfounded.
Huo Nineteen frowned, "Grace, ink dye, come back quickly!" ”
"What a return!" Jiang Yu bent down to avoid the light of a person's sword, and the dagger grabbed a cold blade in front of her, and a little spark burst out under the sharp friction sound: "If this knot doesn't kill this old immortal, will he wait for him to order someone to slaughter the whole family!" ”
"Exactly!" Cao Yu's wide sleeves faced the wind, and his palms opened his skills. Fight with the masters of the rivers and lakes hired by the British government.
The British duke's face turned pale, and he said fiercely: "Okay! Jiang Yuming, Huo Ying! You two wolves are adulterous, and even your daughters and daughters-in-law have been trained to be such a master killing weapon, and you have repeatedly brought them into the palace, what are your intentions, do you want to assassinate the emperor! The shock in his heart was indescribable, he couldn't imagine that Mrs. Jinning's martial arts were so strong, so he had met many times before, and he even invited her to come to the Guogong Mansion. Haven't you been exposed to danger so many times! What's more, the wound he suffered under his crotch. So far, the perpetrator has not been found......
"Rush me! Rush in! Catch the traitor, the family members of the traitor also came up with an idea, and they were all arrested and brought back for strict interrogation! ”
"Yes"
The people brought by the British Duke rushed towards the Hou Mansion, and the soldiers from Jiao Zhongyi's 3,000 battalions hurriedly stopped them.
The two fought, and the common people were scared and cried and shouted to hide back, shouting and shouting in front of the mansion, and even the back door and side door of the Hou Mansion also fought with each other.
Huo Jiu's brows tightened, and he had quickly calculated in his heart what he should do once things evolved to the point where they were most out of control.
Since the British Duke has been able to be arrogant for so many years, the emperor and Huo Jiujiu have not ordered people to carry out assassinations, and they have not been able to succeed, so naturally he is protected by top masters around him. This time when he arrived in front of the Huo Mansion to act, the British Duke felt that the time was ripe, and he was bound to take down Huo Nineteen and remove a traitor to the outside world.
Those on the periphery of the protective circle are easier to deal with, but the closer they get to the British duke's side, the better the other party's skills are, Jiang Yan has gradually realized that the enemy is strong and I am weak, and she can't help sweating on her forehead.
Seeing that the masters beside him were in an orderly protective formation on weekdays, even Cao Yu and Jiang Yu were also moving slowly, so they couldn't help but let go of their hearts, laughed, and announced loudly: "Today, the old man has eliminated harm for the people, and taking the traitor who gave medicine to the emperor can be regarded as a great thing for the Great Yan Dynasty!" ”
Qingliu and several people led by Master Gu were already stunned by the chaotic scene, and their brains were running at this time, and they felt that the situation did not seem to be so simple, and it was Jiang Xuewen who touched the end that played a role.
But they are powerless, and they can only cover their heads to protect themselves in such a chaotic scene.
Jiang Yu was angry, and tried her best to die, knocked down the two people beside her, and went straight to the British duke, and with the cooperation of Cao Yu, there was a gradual tendency to break through the encirclement.
"British Prince, you are now in a high position, and the great things you want to achieve are now just a trembling thing, you said that you died here, is it a big loss!"
"Enchantress! You don't want to be rampant! ”
"Rampant? Even if I lose my life today, I will die with you! "Twist yourself to dodge a knife.
"Under the banner of arresting traitorous ministers, you will take someone for my husband on a crime at will, and let your people break in, everyone in the Hou Mansion is still good?" A sword that blocked a man's sword and stabbed that man's heart.
'In order to threaten my husband, you don't even care about the lives of the people, who is loyal and who is traitorous, the people of the world have their own decision! You don't need to be merciful here, and you will be righteous and awe-inspiring, saying anything to punish adultery and eliminate evil! We've been used to infamy for years, and we don't care that everyone in the world scolds us! I slaughtered you today, and the world will continue to have the surname Chen, if I keep you, I don't know what the surname is! ”
While speaking, Jiang Yu and Cao Yu had already worked together to kill one person.
There are also several masters in front of the British Princess.
However, the two of them were menacing, like evil ghosts crawling out of hell to ask for their lives, which really made the British Duke afraid.
He was afraid of death.
As Jiang Yu said, his Yiqiē is ready, for the sake of a good reputation, he has only waited for so many years, if he is afraid that the other party will not be an opponent for a long time, he is a person who can ascend to that position at any time, if he is not careful to be killed here today, wouldn't it be a hatred for eternity.
"Hurry up and take care of the old man and leave!"
In the panic, the British Duke ordered someone to escort him first. Jiang Yu and Cao Yu will stop and intensify their offensive more and more. Don't fight for your life.
In the midst of chaos. but I saw both sides of the street. There were royal forest soldiers and Jin Wuwei lined up, the little emperor rode a white horse, followed by Jing Tong, at first glance at this situation, shocked and frightened.
"The emperor is here, don't stop yet!"
Jing Tong shouted a loud reprimand, and the Imperial Forest Army and Jin Wuwei entered the "battlefield" one after another to maintain peace.
Rao is the British public has the intention to rebel, in front of the emperor. In front of the people, he will not really show his fangs, not to mention that he still cherishes his feathers, he really hopes that after he ascends the throne in the future, he can justifiably fight for a good reputation, otherwise he would not bring someone to take Huo Nineteen to attack him today.
"Stop!"
"Stop!"
The British Duke and Jiao Zhongyi ordered at the same time.
The people on both sides stopped saluting, the mountains shouted long live, and the people who fled in a panic finally saw the true dragon emperor at this time, and they all breathed a sigh of relief, and kowtowed on the ground. Follow the shouting: "Long live the emperor!" ”
Jiang Yu and Cao Yu glanced at each other, feeling both resentment and helplessness in their hearts.
Attack. If you can't kill the British Duke immediately, you will be charged with disrespecting the Holy Driver, and then it will cause even more trouble to Huo Shijiu.
If you don't attack, let go of the British Duke like this today, which is really infuriating.
But reason prevailed. Both of them knelt down with the crowd and saluted.
The emperor sat on his horse and said angrily: "What's the matter, you can't rebel!" Believe it or not, I plucked your heads! ”
"Your Majesty, the British Duke used the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division for no reason, and brought people and horses to the Hou Mansion to raid the house, and the ministers resisted it, just to protect themselves."
"Your Majesty! Huo Ying not only privately used 3,000 battalions of soldiers and horses, but even Jiao Zhongyi did not respect the holy decree to stay in the camp, but led people to run rampant on the streets of Kyoto, which is really hateful, these two people clearly have bad intentions, plus Huo Ying gave the emperor medicine, so that the emperor accidentally ate five stones, it is clear that he has the intention of murdering the holy driver, and his crime should be punished!! ”
"Your Majesty, you gave the Marquis of Jinning, the ministers obeyed the dispatch, and also obeyed the emperor's dispatch, and there was no disobedience, not to mention that the British Duke gathered people and horses to run rampant in the street market in the early morning, if the crime is discussed, it is also the British Duke first!"
"The emperor clearly observes, the Marquis of Jinning is only for self-preservation, and has no other intentions, as a son of man, does he know that the wicked want to take the opportunity to play and abandon his family! The so-called chaos is just to resist for a while, waiting for the emperor! ”
……
"Shut up!" The little emperor scolded and stopped several people from making statements.
For a while, Fang Cai was still shouting and killing the chaotic streets, and the quiet needles could be heard, and even those who were at the forefront of Fang Cai were a little apprehensive, for fear that if the emperor said a word, their heads would be moved. After all, under the imperial power, the British public's casual promise of "eating and drinking spicy" is as weak as the crumbling dead leaves on the branches in late autumn.
"The emperor is angry." And they prostrated themselves.
The little emperor's face slowed slightly, and he quickly weighed the pros and cons.
Huo Jiu clenched his fists nervously and looked down at the neat floor tiles.
If at this time, the emperor orders someone to take down the British duke, I am afraid that the odds of victory are not great. Even if the masters next to the British Duke were killed by Cao Yu and Jiang Yu, the rest would probably be able to fight. What's more, they don't know what kind of preparations the British are making now.
Besides, in such a brawl, you can't immediately slaughter people when you take down the British duke. At most, he was locked up in prison for ten days and a half months, and these ten days and a half months were enough for the British to deploy.
No, this is definitely not a good time to deal with the British duke.
To deal with a strong enemy, you can only boil a frog in warm water.
In the end, the little emperor was taught by Huo Jiuyi, and what he thought at this time was the same as what Huo Jiu thought, and he had a smile on his face and said, "Guogong misunderstood." ”
A gentle misunderstanding, as if the spring breeze blew away the cold of winter, suddenly led the scene to ease.
"Listen to the British duke, today is for the rumor of Wushisan? I can give you an explanation today, one is that I have never taken such medicine, and the other is that Brother Ying is my relative and will never betray me. Even if one day everyone in the world abandons me, Big Brother Ying will not. Today is just a misunderstanding. ”
"Your Majesty, you ......"
"Grandpa Guo, please get up, and everyone should also get up."
The sound of the clothes was rustling, and the little emperor had seen the people present, and there were also those who fell to the ground and died, and wrinkled his eyebrows and said: "Although the British Duke is dedicated to my good." But I was in too much of a hurry. Too reckless. Where can it be because of me. Ignoring the rules of Kyoto City? Why, as long as it is for my own good, I can casually carry hundreds of people through the streets in broad daylight? ”
"Your Majesty...... Anger is relieved. Under the reprimand, the British public wanted to refute, but because so many people were present, it was not good to violate the image that he had been building, so he had to bite a truth: "The emperor must not delay serious things for personal reasons." Lao Chen knows that you have a benevolent heart, and you don't want to see the blood of Marquis Jinning splashed on the spot. But you don't have to say this to cover him up, what if you delay your illness? ”
"Sick?" The little emperor laughed and said: "I said, my body is tight, I haven't eaten any Wushisan, and Brother Ying won't give me medicine, don't you believe it?" ”
"I don't dare. But what the minister knows, it is clear that the emperor's situation is already very bad. Moreover, rumors are growing in the city, and everyone is so worried, and the emperor is talking in empty words, which is difficult to convince. ”
The little emperor pursed his lips in silence.
The British public is standing in place with awe-inspiring righteousness.
Jiang Xuewen had a big bag on his head. Dizzy, he reprimanded with a strong spirit: "British duke, you are so bold. Dare to question the Son of Heaven! The words of the Son of Heaven are full of words, how can you be qualified to doubt them! ”
"The minister is also for the emperor. If the emperor can't come up with conclusive evidence to prove that you really didn't take that medicine, how can you tell the courtiers in the world to be at ease? ”
The little emperor clenched the reins with both hands, and then slowly let go, not angry, nodded seriously, and said with a smile: "What the British public said also makes sense." I also know that there are many people who have doubts in their hearts now. What is the medicinal properties of Wushisan, you should also know that Wushisan, also known as cold food powder, is the most taboo to encounter cold wine. ”
As he spoke, he turned around and instructed Jing Tong: "Go, get me cold wine." ”
Jing Tong's head jumped: "Your Majesty." ”
"Not yet."
"Yes."
As soon as Jing Tong was about to look for cold wine, the British Duke said: "Don't bother Grandpa Jing, the minister happened to bring good wine with him." ”
In this way, it is even more cut off the opportunity for Jingtong to "cheat".
The British Duke is so strong, and forcing the little emperor to prove it in public is too domineering.
Huo Shijiu straightened up and sneered: "The emperor takes Wushisan, it's just gossip said by some well-intentioned people in the market, how can the British Duke really seem to be convinced that the emperor must have taken Wushisan." ”
After saying this, everyone felt something, indeed, the British Duke seemed to be sure that the emperor was taking Wushi San, and the cold wine was clearly to force the emperor to show his feet.
In a short time, someone brought wine.
The little emperor ordered a few people at random, "You, you, and you, all come out and have a drink with me." Settle today's grievances. ”
British Gong, Huo Nineteen, Jiang Xuewen, Gu Daren, and Jiao Zhongyi are all among them.
Jing Tong took the wine cup, poured the wine brought by the British prince, and served it to several people in a gold lacquer tray.
The little emperor also picked up one of the cups.
Huo Nineteen's heart tightened with the little emperor's movements. He knew that the little emperor was dependent on Wushisan, and he hadn't entered the palace for a while, and he wasn't sure if he had quit medicine.
If he doesn't take vows, or if the vows are not clean, what if he is only taking risks today for the sake of his clarification?
Thinking like this, Huo Shijiu wanted to stop it, but before he could speak, the little emperor had already drunk the wine, and everyone followed.
"Good wine!"
The little emperor praised: "The wine of the British Duke is really good, you have all eaten it, how does it taste?" It's not water, is it? ”
"No, no." Several people shook their heads.
The British Duke looked at the little emperor talking and laughing, as if he had no intention of having a seizure, and thought suspiciously: Is it because the strength of the wine has not come up, or it has not yet occurred?
He spoke to the little emperor and tried to delay as much time as possible.
First, he explained today's events, and then apologized.
A stick of incense passed, and the emperor was safe and sound.
Huo Nineteen's hanging heart finally let go.
The face of the British Duke was also darker and more ugly.
Jiang Xuewen said excitedly: "It seems that the rumors are really hurtful, but fortunately, the emperor is wise and has never fallen for the tricks of traitors." ”
"I am the king of a country, so I naturally know what to do and what not to do." The little emperor turned to the British justice: "Since I know, the British must know better than me, right?" ”
"Yes. The ministers remembered the emperor's teachings. The British public smiled, although his attitude was much more respectful than usual, and he was less arrogant and domineering, but the anger in his eyes could not be hidden.
The little emperor was a little scared, and didn't want to show his cowardice in front of outsiders, so he just forced himself to calm down: "That's it, let's all disperse today." If you make such a big fuss, you are not afraid of people's jokes, for the sake of me, and Brother Ying is a meritorious minister, loyal to me, both of you are for the sake of the Great Yan Dynasty, and this matter is over. The injured should hurry up and be treated, and the deceased will be given a generous burial and bereavement to you. ”
The British man gritted his teeth, and after a lot of wind and rain, he was tricked by this little frozen cat! When did he quit the drug!
"Minister, obey!"
Flick your sleeves and turn around, and lead people away.
Watching him walk away, the little emperor and Huo Jiucai finally breathed a sigh of relief. (To be continued......)
