Chapter 858: Montagonous (9)
Under the noon sun, at the same time that Wanyan Qingjue and others went to the palace, on the small square on the side of the imperial city, the convoy and horse team were assembling.
The palace people hugged and carried all kinds of boxes to the square, and the concubines of the harem followed with a panicked look, and some of the boxes fell to the ground in the process of moving, and all kinds of items were poured out, and the concubines shouted next to them with anxious looks, and even scolded the palace people.
Everything is as lively as a vegetable market.
Zhou Pei came out of it accompanied by the guards, her temperament was indifferent but majestic, and the palace people and concubines nearby subconsciously avoided her eyes.
She walked all the way through the square, looking at the busy scene around her, the gate out of the palace was closed in front of her, and she walked to the side of the staircase that led to the top of the city wall, and the guards around her hurriedly blocked the way.
"Your Highness, please don't go to the top."
"You stop me from trying!"
"Danger from above."
"What a danger! Did the Jurchens call? Zhou Pei's eyebrows seemed to contain blood, "I want to watch them call!" β
"Please don't let the little one be difficult."
Zhou Pei and the guards confronted each other at the staircase, and everyone in the square secretly glanced over with their peripheral eyes, and when Zhou Pei swept towards the rear sadly, they avoided that gaze one after another.
The plane tree in the palace shook the breeze on the side, Zhou Pei's eyes swept over the fleeing scenery, she was not in Bianliang many years ago, and the later search for mountains and seas was more like a forced escape after the war, until this moment, she suddenly understood what it meant to disarm 140,000 people, and none of them were men.
The sky was still warm, and Zhou Yong was wearing a wide robe and strode towards the square here. He seemed thin and silent earlier, but now he seems to be a little angry, and when the people around him knelt down, he waved his hand vigorously as he walked: "Flat body, move quickly, move quickly, and don't need to bring some useless Raush." β
There was chaos in the palace, many people did not expect the drastic changes of this day, the ministers in the Jinluan Palace in front of them were still arguing, some people knelt on the ground and begged Zhou Yong not to leave, but these ministers were blocked by Zhou Yong's troops - the two sides had an unpleasant quarrel before, and there was nothing to be embarrassed about now.
Zhou Yong, the concubine in the palace, did not put it in his eyes, he was overindulged in his early years, and after he ascended the throne, he had nothing to do, and the concubine was just a plaything for him. All the way through the square, he walked to his daughter's side, panting and blushing a little, but at the same time a little embarrassed.
"Alas, daughter......" he pondered, "Father said it seriously, but now, there is no way, there is a small town in the city that is making trouble, I know it has nothing to do with you, but...... The Jurchen messengers had already entered the city. β
Zhou Pei looked at him coldly.
"Besides, the cavalry of the dog thief has already drawn up camp and wants to put pressure on us. Qin Qing is right, let's go first, stay on the boat of the Qiantang Sailor, as long as they can't catch me, they have no way at all, they can't destroy the Wu Dynasty, they have to talk! β
At this moment, Zhou Yong was quite proud of his response, the Jurchen envoys came to the palace, they must be frightened, even if you are fierce and powerful, I will leave first, I will stay up with you, you lion open your mouth, I will not agree...... The more he thought about it, the more it made sense.
Zhou Pei looked at him, and after a while, his voice was hoarse, word by word: "Father, you are gone, the Jurchens can't destroy the Wu Dynasty, but what about the people in the city?" What about the people of the Central Plains? They can't destroy the Wu Dynasty, and it's another search of mountains and seas, how can the people of the world live!? β
Zhou Yong was slightly stunned, Zhou Pei stepped forward, took Zhou Yong's hand, and walked up the stairs: "Dad, you accompany me up!" It's on the other side of the palace wall, you go up with me, look over there, the hundred thousand and millions of people, they are your people - you go, they will ......"
Zhou Yong's hand waved away like fire, and the next moment he took a step back: "I have said, what can I do!" Can I save them by staying here? I will be sold with them! The traitor surnamed Ning also said that people should save themselves!! β
He shouted out this sentence loudly, Zhou Pei's eyes widened in anger, and he could only hear Zhou Yong say: "I am also saving myself, I can't fight in front of me, I am a strong man with a broken wrist...... Time is running out, you give me to the car, I and you get on the boat first, and the officials and the things in the palace can take their time. Even if the Jurchens arrived and got on the boat, they could only look at the ocean and sigh! β
As he spoke, he pointed to a carriage not far away and asked Zhou Pei to pass, Zhou Pei shook his head, Zhou Yong waved his hand, asked the female officials nearby to come over, and set up Zhou Pei to go to the car, Zhou Pei was pushed away in a daze, until she was fast into the carriage, she suddenly struggled: "Let go of me!" Who dares to touch me! β
The female officials were startled and withdrew their hands, and Zhou Pei ran towards the palace gate, and Zhou Yong shouted: "Stop her!" Stop her! The female officer nearby leaned over again, and Zhou Yong also strode over: "You let me in!" β
"You go! I'll stay! Father, if you want to leave, leave me. β
"I won't let you stay! I won't let you stay! Zhou Yong stomped his feet, "Daughter, don't make trouble!" β
Zhou Pei and the female officer tore into a fight.
It is rare for people in the palace to see such a scene, even if they are wronged in the inner palace, the concubine with a strong temperament will not do these things that are both imageless and futile. But now, Zhou Pei finally couldn't suppress this emotion, she waved her hand and knocked the female officer next to her to the ground, and several female officials nearby were also slapped or torn by her, scratching blood on their faces, embarrassed. The female officials didn't dare to resist, so they pushed and pulled Zhou Pei to the carriage in the emperor's roar, and it was also in this kind of tearing that Zhou Pei pulled out the hairpin on his head and suddenly plunged it into the neck of a female official in front of him!
The sun shone vertically, and the blood on the square burst out in all directions, spraying Zhou Pei and the surrounding female officials all over their faces, people screamed, Zhou Pei's long hair was scattered, slightly stunned, and then waved the blood-red hairpin: "Get out of the way, get out of the way!" β
"Grab her, take her hairpin!" Zhou Yong drank loudly, and a female official who knew martial arts nearby rushed up and snatched Zhou Pei's hairpin, and the female officials around gathered again, Zhou Yong also rushed over, grabbed Zhou Pei's waist, pushed her every move, and pushed her into the carriage made of steel: "Shut up!" Shut up! β
Zhou Pei's tears have welled up, she got up from the carriage, and was about to rush forward again, the two doors closed with a "bang", Zhou Pei hit the door, and heard Zhou Yong shouting outside: "It's okay, it's okay, this is to protect your ......"
"Faint Kingβ"
"Don't talk about it......"
"In this world, everyone will look down on you and our Zhou family...... Dad, you're no different from Zhou Zheβ"
Her body hit the car door, Zhou Yong slapped the wall of the car, and walked forward: "It's okay, it's okay, it's here, it's here...... Daughter, I can't be arrested like this, I want to give you and Junwu time, I want to give you a way to live, let me bear these infamy, the future will be fine, you will understand sooner or later, sooner or later......"
His muttering went on for a long time, and he got into the carriage, and the things in the square were loaded and unloaded, and after a while, he finally opened the palace gate, and passed through the long street towards the south gate.
In the dim iron car, Zhou Pei felt the movement of the carriage, she was covered with the smell of blood, a long strip of light penetrated through the crack in the door in front of her, and the carriage was driving all the way through the streets of Lin'an, which she was familiar with, she slapped for a while, and then began to bang on the door again, but it was useless.
On the way to the car, there was a faint sound of chaos in front of him, as if a crowd of people had rushed up, blocking the way of the convoy, and after a while, the sound of chaos became louder, and it seemed that someone had launched an attack on the convoy. There was a figure coming over from the gap in the front door, curled up, as if it was being protected by the forbidden army, it was his father Zhou Yong.
He said over there: "It's okay, it's okay, it's all clowns, it's all ......."
After a while, the chaos outside was resolved, and I don't know whether the people who came to stop Zhou Yong or who came to rescue her had been cleared up, and the convoy drove again, and then it went all the way until the Qiantang River wharf outside the city.
When the complacent Wanyan Qingjue arrived at the palace, Zhou Yong had already boarded the boat on the dock outside the city, which may have been the only surprise he had along the way.
Nine years ago, when searching the mountains and inspecting the sea, in order to live a stable life at sea, Zhou Yong once built a huge dragon ship, even if it was floating on the sea, the big ship was as calm as living on land, and after nine years, the ship was taken out again.
After getting on the boat, Zhou Yong sent someone to release her from the carriage and arrange a place for her to live and serve the subordinates, perhaps because of guilt, Zhou Yong did not appear in front of her again this afternoon.
The huge dragon boat fleet was moored on the surface of the Qiantang River, and all kinds of things were transported one after another throughout the afternoon, Zhou Pei was locked in the room, and she never went out on April 28 and April 29, she sat in the room in a daze, unable to close her eyes, until the middle of the night on the 29th, Zhou Pei, who finally slept for a while, was awakened by the movement that came, and the fleet did not know what happened to the accident, and there was a huge collision.
The hurried pace sounded outside the door, and Zhou Yong, who was dressed in white, rushed in, saw that she was sleeping in clothes, came over with a sad and angry face, and pulled her up and walked outside.
Zhou Pei walked out without saying a word, and gradually arrived on the deck of the dragon ship outside, Zhou Yong pointed to the movement on the river not far away to let her see, it was several warships that had been fighting, the flames were burning, the sound of cannonballs sounded across the night, and the light was splashing.
"Look at it! Look! That's your people! That's your guy for sure! I am the emperor and you are the princess! I believe in you, you have the authority of the princess's mansion! You can't kill me now! Zhou Yong's words were sad and indignant, and he pointed to Lin'an City on the other side, and there was also a faint chaotic fire in the city, "Traitor! They are all traitors! They don't end well! Your men have broken my rudder! Fortunately, it was discovered in time, it was all your people, it must be, you are rebelling-"
Zhou Pei's eyes were full of tears, and she fell involuntarily, she naturally understood in her heart that her father had been frightened, and he was frightened by someone's behavior of destroying the rudder, thinking that he could no longer escape.
At this moment, the distant mountains were dark, the water was sparkling, and the firelight on the city reflected in the sky, Zhou Pei understood that this was the various factions in the city fighting and playing, including the warships on the river, and the desperate main battle faction was making the final blow. There must be the efforts of Li Pincheng Zhouhai and others, but the previous princess's mansion has never been prepared to resist Zhou Yong, even with Cheng Zhouhai's ability, in such a situation, I am afraid it will be difficult to do so, there may be the intervention of the Huaxia army, but for a long time, the princess's mansion has always suppressed the Huaxia army, and their outstretched hand finally helped.
The light in the night sky was like the ashes of a huge palace burning and disintegrating on the dark sea.
The fleet stayed on the Qiantang River for several days, and the excellent craftsmen repaired the small damage to the boats, and since then, there have been officials and gentry with their families and carrying all kinds of treasures, but the prince Junwu has never come, and Zhou Pei no longer heard those news in house arrest.
Until the fifth day of the fifth month of the fifth month, the fleet set sail, carrying the small imperial court and the people dependent, sailing through the mouth of the Qiantang River, Zhou Pei looked out through the cracks in the sealed windows, and the free seabirds were flying through the sight.
She grabbed the iron window lattice and cried, the saddest cry was silent, at this moment, the Wu Dynasty existed in name only. They sailed out to sea, and her younger brother, the bravest prince Junwu, and even the people of the entire Wu Dynasty in the world, were left behind in the hell of flames again......
