Chapter 466: Rush to Jingshi
It has been four full days since Zhou Xianyu led his troops to Beijing, and after a farce in Xiangping ended yesterday.
In order to prevent accidents, and because of the afternoon, many seriously injured soldiers were sent back.
Therefore, Zhou Xianrui, who was originally scheduled to take Yan Luo Tears this morning, ate the pill immediately at midnight last night as soon as the retrograde injection by Old Man Ding ended.
Although because the body has not been completely adjusted, the medicinal effect of Yan Luo's tears can only be absorbed by about seventy percent, but even so, it can be seen that Zhou Xianrui no longer needs to lie on the sickbed.
On the contrary, it is a soft armor cloak, with a majestic atmosphere, and a steady gait that is no different from ordinary people.
It will be difficult for anyone to see that the other party was still an injured person who was lying on the sickbed to recuperate yesterday, and coughed up blood at the slightest anger.
According to the original plan, as long as Zhou Xianrui is in good health, he will immediately rush to Beijing.
Xiao Jinxuan, who discussed with each other early in the morning and went with the other party, was also dressed neatly and stood by Zhou Xianrui's side.
Looking at the back of the other party saying goodbye to Concubine Liang, Xiao Jinxuan couldn't help but shake her head slightly, and sighed a little that Yan Luo's tears are really a miracle medicine in the world. It does have the effect of reviving the dead.
As for Zhou Xianrui, who finished saying goodbye, he couldn't help but come to Xiao Jinxuan's side, looking at the other party's gentle face, but a trace of self-reproach flashed in his eyes and said:
"Jinxuan was in the end, and after all, the Yama Tears were still taken by me. But just as the concubine said before, when this counterinsurgency is over, it is to use the power of the whole country, and this king will definitely find a cure for your memory failure. In addition, because of this Yama tears, don't take the foolish things that Xiangping did yesterday to heart, I have already ordered someone to imprison this girl. If she doesn't change this wayward and reckless behavior this time, even if the mother concubine pleads, the king will never let her out. ”
A dignified royal princess, for the sake of an insignificant person, first refused to marry far away and disobeyed her father.
Now he is still doing things for the other party to snatch the pill, and it will become a tragedy if he can't save people, and he doesn't review it from himself afterwards, but angers others.
In the eyes of Zhou Xianrui, who has always been self-disciplined and strict on issues of principle, this is simply nonsense and capricious.
So yesterday, because of Mo Linzhi's death, Xiangping had a complete insane attack, snatched the sword from Xiao Yijun on the side, and wanted to cut Xiao Jinxuan many times, after Zhou Xianrui knew about it.
He immediately ordered someone to forcibly detain Xiangping and confined him, and since yesterday, he has not allowed anyone to visit, even if Concubine Liang intercedes, it cannot change Zhou Xianrui's decision.
And Xiao Jinxuan, who was on the side, heard Zhou Xianrui mention Xiangping again, she couldn't help but sigh helplessly, and then said softly:
"Yesterday the incident happened too suddenly, and Xiangping forced him to die again. In that case, I told her that the pill on the front was fake, and she must have thought that I was lying to her. And for the sake of the big picture, I can't tell her how to take out the real Yama tears. So I could only watch with my own eyes, and she took the poison pill into the tent. It's just that although I know that the elixir is poisonous, I don't want to be so vicious and domineering that I can turn people into thick blood. In fact, the blow Xiangping received this time was indeed not small, although this was the result of her willful and reckless actions, but presumably she must have hated me to death now. ”
knows that although Xiao Jinxuan is calm, she actually attaches great importance to the sisterhood between her and Xiangping.
Zhou Xianrui was not good at comforting others, so he was silent for a long time, and finally decided to change the topic and not talk about Mo Linzhi's death.
"Jinxuan will lead the two thousand men and horses left behind in the Beijing military camp to rush to Beijing, I know that you are not an ordinary weak woman, since you are going to this king, I will not stop you. And having you by your side to help you come up with advice will definitely be a big help. If you're all ready, let's go. ”
Knowing that the war in Beijing was tight, Zhou Xianyu led his subordinates to attack the city.
But because of the unknown teacher, it was resisted by the people, and it was impossible to conquer the gate of the palace.
Therefore, Xiao Jinxuan, who was anxious, naturally did not want to delay any time, so she immediately set off with Zhou Xianrui, led 2,000 troops out of the camp, and went straight to the Beijing division commander.
Compared with the army of 10,000 people, the speed of the march of 2,000 men and horses was naturally very fast, so before even 10 noon, Zhou Xianrui and Xiao Jinxuan returned to Beijing again after a few days.
Because Xiao Jinxuan can't ride a horse, and although Zhou Xianrui has the help of Yan Luo's tears, after all, the injury will heal.
Therefore, not only did Old Man Ding keep an eye on his body at all times, but the three of them sat in the carriage at the same time, and none of them rode horses.
And now that the city gate has been conquered, the people guarding under the city gate have naturally been replaced by the people and horses of the Beijing military camp, so after the two thousand or so of them explained their identities, they entered Changping City unimpeded.
But as soon as they came in, some people immediately saw that the two thousand people were wearing the uniforms of the Beijing military camp, and then cursed, rotten vegetable leaves, and stones were smashed by everyone one after another.
And a sixty-year-old man with a snow-white beard, even pointed to the soldiers who were in the Beijing military camp and hurried, but did not fight back, and poked the ground a few times with his angry cane and said:
"You rebels and thieves, the people of our capital do not welcome you, hurry up and get out of here. Thanks to us, the people of the Great Zhou, we have always regarded the Seven Princes as the war kings who protect our country and the people. I really didn't expect him to be a disobedient person, and you soldiers who worked for each other are all aiding and abetting. The city has been breached, and you have increased your army. We will guard the palace gate with the queen and the mother of the country, and if you don't get out of the city, we will beat you to death. ”
Maybe it was because the more he talked, the more angry he became, and as soon as the old man finished speaking, he immediately raised the crutches in his hand tremblingly.
Then he slammed into the front of the two thousand people, Xiao Jinxuan, and the carriage they were sitting in.
But after all, the old man was old and obviously lacked strength, so he was hit by the carriage this time, and the crutches fell on the road next to the body.
And when he saw that he hadn't hit, the old man couldn't help but lower his head and sighed heavily.
Then he bent his waist, trying to pick up a stone from the ground to Congxinzai, and then hit the two thousand soldiers of the Beijing military camp who passed in front of him.
But at this moment, suddenly he only heard the rest of the indignant onlookers on both sides, and suddenly let out a burst of exclamation and stunned sounds, before the old man could straighten up and take a look.
Then he only saw the crutches that he had thrown into the middle of the road, and it was handed to him with both hands, and then a calm and concerned voice came into his ears.
"When the old man is old and goes out, even if he is angry and annoyed, he can't leave his crutches. Listen to this king, go home quickly, crowded in the crowd, there is a mistake, and the children of your family will be in a hurry. ”
The old man, who was moving slowly on his legs and feet, did not take the crutches until this moment, and looked up to see the person standing in front of him.
And looking at the person who came in a dragon purple brocade robe, he called himself the king in his mouth.
rubbed his eyes in disbelief, and when he recognized the person in front of him, it turned out to be Zhou Xianrui, the great Zhou Xian King, who had always been the most popular people.
Immediately, I saw that the old man couldn't help but burst into tears, and even fell to his knees without saying anything, and said with joy and excitement:
"Lord Wang, it's great that you come back, then His Royal Highness led the army to rebel, and now the queen mother said that the emperor has been angry, and the prince was also secretly sent by the emperor to sneak into the palace and kill him. Now this situation is also your ability to turn the tide, anyway, the people of our entire Beijing division support you, that is, we will fight with the soldiers and horses of His Royal Highness, and I will definitely rush forward without hesitation. ”
Zhou Xianrui has been thinking about everything he has been thinking about since he entered the DPRK and participated in political affairs, that is, it is all for the well-being of the people of the Great Zhou.
Especially the common people of Jingshi, they have received more favors.
Therefore, if it turns to be popular among the people, among the princes of Emperor Ming, Zhou Xianrui is the most widely supported.
And almost as soon as the old man finished saying this in a high tone, he saw that there were as many as three or four hundred people who had surrounded the Beijing military camp around him, and all of them knelt on the ground.
And their mouths shouted: "Kill the king, kill the lackeys of the Beijing military camp, and protect the Great Zhou to defend the imperial city." This kind of slogan can also be seen from this, how unpopular the soldiers and horses in the Beijing military camp have been these days.
Just when Zhou Xianrui looked at the crowd and waved his hand to signal everyone to stop.
But before he could speak, he heard Xiao Jinxuan's sneer behind him suddenly come.
Then I saw Xiao Jinxuan, who also poked out of the carriage and stepped out of the carriage, looked around at the onlookers who looked righteous and awe-inspiring.
Turning around and looking at the back of the carriage again, the two thousand soldiers and horses of the Beijing military camp who were supposed to be the division of justice turned out to be each of them with their heads bowed tightly, allowing the stones and leaves to hit their faces, not only would they not fight back, but they didn't even avoid it, and they still maintained a uniform formation.
However, through these soldiers, holding the back of the hand with the bruises exposed, she could still feel the anger and unwillingness in the hearts of the soldiers.
After all, Xiao Jinxuan was expelled from the family temple at the beginning, and she was also regarded by the ignorant rural people as the person who killed Zhou Xianyu, and was spurned and insulted.
So looking at these soldiers who may sacrifice their lives at any time for the sake of righteousness, Xiao Jinxuan feels that they should not be slandered, because they are all heroes of the Great Zhou Rebellion.
So Xiao Jinxuan, who couldn't help but feel the real fire in her heart, after sneering, raised her voice and commanded Xiao Yijun who came with her:
"Cousin, haven't you heard that these people are wantonly demagoguery, and those who fan the flames are tantamount to making trouble, and they don't surround these people and deal with them strictly according to the law."
Although Xiao Jinxuan's words were not loud, the weight was too much, and because Zhou Xianyu had spoken in public before he set out on the expedition, the two thousand men and horses in the Beijing military camp left behind could be transferred by the other party at will.
So seeing Xiao Jinxuan speak, in fact, Xiao Yijun, who had been holding his breath in his heart for the past few days, immediately came up and waved his hand, and the two thousand soldiers in the Beijing military camp surrounded the three or four hundred ordinary people as soon as the formation changed.
As soon as they saw this battle, Shicai still shouted extremely fiercely, and the people who were rightly strong.
Looking at the weapons in the hands of the soldiers in the Beijing military camp, which were shining coldly and pointing at them, they immediately became silent, and for the first time there was a look of fear in their eyes.
