Volume 5 The Flame of the Burning Han Chapter 9 Farewell to the Troubled Situation
Nanying rode his horse and galloped, and when he looked up, he suddenly saw that there was fire and smoke in front of him, and the shadows of people in the smoke were chaotic, and the cry shook the sky, and it was a small number of rebels who took the opportunity to cause trouble.
He couldn't help but feel blood dripping from his heart, and he was determined to kill these black sheep on weekdays, but at this time, he was already unable to catch it, and he couldn't stop his pace and delay the precious time to rescue Shi Hou.
The "Zheng" eagle knife came out of its sheath, and the bright light of the knife slashed through the neck of a rebel, slashing him so that blood splattered and fell to the ground.
"Eagle Yang Zhonglang will be the southern eagle here!" Nanying's fierce shouting clearly came into the ears of every rebel army: "If there are any more evildoers, they will be beheaded immediately!" ”
This gang of rebels was no more than 100 people, most of whom had heard the name of Nanying, and even saw hundreds of iron horsemen rushing towards them like a whirlwind, all of them changed color, and fled in all directions.
"Rush over!" Nanying pointed at the blade and shouted: "No matter who dares to block the way, there will be no mercy!" ”
"Kill!" The 500 cavalrymen took off their spears from the side of their horses, lined up in a sharp knife formation during the charge, and crushed them all the way, trampling many of the rebels who could not avoid them.
Seeing that the forbidden palace was approaching, the situation on the street was even more chaotic, and there were already groups of organized Han troops who were setting up checkpoints along the way, apparently in order to completely cut off the escape path of the eunuchs in the forbidden palace from the periphery.
"Fly the Eagle Flag!" With a wave of Nanying's hand, a cavalryman carrying the banner of Black Eagle immediately rushed to the front of the team, indicating the identity of his own formation.
Sure enough, after seeing the eagle flag, all the Han troops along the way retreated, and no one dared to step forward to stop it.
Along the way, the roadside is full of fire, blood is flowing everywhere, there are still remnants of troops loyal to China and North Korea are fighting with Yuan Shao's soldiers and horses, and from time to time you can see the corpses everywhere, including ordinary soldiers in Han army uniforms, as well as Chinese and Korean officials in eunuch uniforms.
Nanying's heart was even more anxious, under such a chaotic situation. Even if Shi Hou rushed out of the forbidden palace, the situation was extremely dangerous.
"Don't go Duan Jue!" Someone shouted in the distance.
"What? It's Duan Jue! Nanying perked up: "Catch up!" ”
Duan Qi is the leader of the Chinese and Korean generals second only to Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong, if even he rushes out of the forbidden palace, then you can find out about Shi Hou's situation from his mouth, and even Shi Hou is very likely to go with him!
Seeing the figures in the distance getting closer and closer, suddenly a gong sounded, and a group of soldiers and horses came out of the fork in the street, just in front of the cavalry of the Southern Eagle.
Nan Ying was furious in his heart, and was about to fight his way out of the bloody road with a desperate order, when he suddenly saw the banner of the team of soldiers and horses. I couldn't help but shake my body.
One general slowly rode out from the opponent's formation, and under the reflection of the firelight, the general had a helpless and bitter look on his face.
"Zhong Jian......" Nan Ying burst out of the man's name fiercely: "You really did this......"
"Bastard!" He blurted out: "Have you forgotten the Son of Heaven's grace to you, and the life-and-death friendship between you and my brother?" ”
"Hanyang! You scolded well! Chun Yuqiong's originally lowered eyes instantly met Nanying, and he also said hysterically: "I did something wrong...... But I have not betrayed the Son of Heaven, and I have never harmed you! ”
"Shut up!" Nanying roared angrily: "Why was the Son of Heaven attacked? Don't tell me, isn't it because you leaked the whereabouts of the Son of Heaven to return to Beijing to Yuan Shao? ”
Chun Yuqiong's figure sitting upright on the horse shook suddenly, and he laughed miserably: "Yes, it's me." It's just that I didn't expect this to end......."
"How did you end up like this?" Nan Ying said bitterly: "I want to be in Yiyang that day, you don't even want your life, and you have to defend the Son of Heaven to the death......"
"Yes, for the sake of the Son of Heaven. What is my destiny? Chun Yu Qiong Muran said: "Do you remember what I said to you that day? As the Son of Heaven Guard, we don't have a family, and we even have to forget about the family...... But then everything changed, and I got married. And a pair of lovely children, I can't care about their lives or deaths......."
Unforgettable hatred flashed in his eyes, and he hissed, "Han Yang." What if someone threatened them with their lives in exchange for you? ”
"That's what happened!" Nan Ying's body shook violently: "Yuan Shao actually did such a shameless thing? ”
"Yes, his condition is only to make me tell the agenda for the return of the Son of Heaven to Beijing...... And me? I hate it! Chun Yuqiong trembled and lowered her head: "I'm really a pig and a dog!" ”
"Zhong Jian, you!" Nanying said in a trembling voice, there are a thousand words in his heart, but where to start?
"Get out of the way!" Chun Yuqiong shouted at his subordinates.
With a "bang", the soldiers and horses in the West Garden scattered a road.
"Han Yang, I'm not here to stop you!" Chun Yuqiong stared at Nanying, his eyes flashed with a look of remorse that the rushing river could not be diluted, and he pointed to the road ahead and said: "Duan Jue is in front with Shi Hou, begging Han Yang to rescue Shi Hou!" ”
"As for my rotten life!" He pointed back to his heart and said miserably: "As long as Han Yang is willing, he can take it at any time!" ”
"Zhong Jian, you ...... Hello do it yourself! As if to vent his resentment, Nan Ying pulled the white crane from his seat and rushed past Chun Yuqiong first, and the five hundred Bohai naval cavalry also rumbled past.
When Nanying was far away, Chun Yuqiong looked up blankly, and the whisper left by Nanying when he staggered past him was still haunting in his heart: "Ambush the enemy camp, waiting to atone for your sins...... Treasure! ”
"Duan Changshi!" Liu Bian struggled desperately to break free from Duan Qi's palm, but it was like a dragonfly shaking a stone pillar: "Where are you going to take me?" The soldiers and horses behind seem to have played the banner of Eagle Yang Zhonglang General! ”
"Southern Hawk?" Duan Qi's face was full of cruelty: "Then we can't stop...... Zhang Rang tricked you out of his palm, and he hates us now! ”
"Nope! Let me go! Liu Wei kicked and punched Duan Jue fiercely: "I'm going to find General Yingyang Zhonglang, only he can save me!" ”
"Your Majesty!" Duan Jue screamed: "You are no longer the prince, you are now the son of heaven, how can you fall into the hands of a local prince like Nanying?" Once he holds you hostage, there will be no hope of revival of the Han River! ”
"No, you let go!" Liu Yan struggled even more, he bit down on Duan Jue's wrist, and said vaguely: "I don't want to be an emperor, I'm going to find an emperor...... He said he would protect me for the rest of my life! ”
"What? Uncle Huang! Duan Jue didn't know if it was pain, or if this surprise was extraordinary, he actually let go of his palm, and said in disbelief: "Nanying? Is he the emperor's uncle of the Son of Heaven? ”
"Bold Duan Jue!" A majestic roar suddenly came from the front: "How dare you kidnap the prince?" Don't tie your hands yet! ”
"Who?" Duan Jue's screaming shook Liu Yan and couldn't help but cover his ears.
Duan Jue waved his hand, and the only dozen or so cronies around him stepped forward and stopped in front of him. He narrowed his eyes, staring at the tall figure that slowly walked out of the smoke for a moment, and suddenly his pupils contracted: "Lu Zhi! ”
Lu Zhi tied a white belt on his forehead, held his hands in his hands, strode out of the dancing smoke and fire, and shouted awe-inspiringly: "The death of the Son of Heaven and the peril of the country are in danger, it is the time to support the new monarch Kuang to protect the society, how dare you, a traitorous minister, take the prince and stir up the dynasty?" ”
"Kill this old horseman!" Duan Qi saw the anger gushing out of Lu Zhi's eyes clearly. Instinctively feeling that the two sides must be an endless situation, he took a step back, pulled Liu Yan to his side, and waved his hand: "There is the city gate in front, kill him and we can rush out of the city!" ”
"The Son of Heaven is not far away, and look at the old minister who is getting rid of traitors for the country today!" Lu Zhi put his hand on his hand, bowed respectfully in the direction of Beigong, and stepped forward to kill without hesitation.
Behind Lu Zhi, dozens of loyal guards also roared and rushed over. Fight with Duan Qi's men to one place.
Lu Zhi Changge flew over, knocked down several enemies in a row, and finally stood opposite Duan Jue: "Traitor, you prick up your ears and listen...... It was the cavalry of General Ying Yang Zhonglang who came. Still don't let go of Shi Hou and apologize for his crimes? ”
"Dreaming!" Duan Jue picked up Liu Yan, reached out and grabbed his throat, and shouted wildly: "This is the new Son of Heaven." Who would dare to step forward? ”
"What? Emperor! Lu Zhi stopped in surprise and said angrily: "Dog thief! Do you dare to kill the king? ”
"Who dares to kill the king?" In the midst of the shouting, a long arrow flashed from behind. In the terrifying cracking sound, Duan Jue was pierced in the back of his head and his forehead pierced, bursting out a shocking large blood mist, almost splashing Lu Zhi on the opposite side.
Duan Jue felt as if someone had smashed a hammer from behind, and he fell straight forward, and he was already out of breath before he touched the ground.
The rumbling hooves sounded like a storm, and Nanying galloped first, followed by Li Jin, who was calmly retracting his fingers on the bowstring.
"Han Yang ......" Lu Zhi showed a smile of relief: "It's just in time, we have to immediately escort the Son of Heaven back to the palace and restore order in the imperial capital!" ”
"General Lu, I'm afraid the end will disappoint you!" Nan Ying turned over and dismounted, opened his arms to Shi Hou, who was running towards him, and said lightly: "Shi Hou...... You want to leave the imperial capital with me! ”
"What? Han Yang, do you want to ...... too" Lu Zhi's eyes were full of disbelief, and he couldn't help but take a step back.
"You shouldn't have seen me like that!" Nan Ying hugged Liu Bian into his arms and said calmly to Lu Zhi: "In order to make Bian'er safe and happy, he must leave this filthy place...... Today, only I can truly protect him! ”
"Woohoo! Uncle Huang! Liu Bian buried his head in Nanying's arms with tears in his eyes, as if he wanted to vent all his fears and grievances: "Uncle Huang, you take me away, I don't want to be the emperor....... I don't want to stay here again!" ”
"What? Uncle Huang! Lu Zhi's face changed suddenly, and he let out an exclamation like Duan Qi.
He looked at Nan Ying, who comforted Liu Bian in a low voice, his face was full of regret, and all kinds of doubts in the past suddenly had a sense of brightness that cleared the clouds and saw the sun, he stayed for a long time before he lowered his head and sighed: "I see...... No wonder! All this is the arrangement of the first emperor, right? You, you're ....... right! ”
"I still have to save the Empress Dowager Dong, don't say goodbye! Shi Hou is all entrusted to Han Yang! He turned around, and after walking a few steps, he suddenly turned back to Nanying and said deeply: "Han Yang...... The road ahead is precious! ”
Looking at Lu Zhi, whose eyes were full of complex and profound feelings, Nan Ying suddenly had a fragile feeling of tears welling up in his eyes, and he instinctively felt that if he said goodbye today, he and this respectable old man who treated him like a parent and child would be goodbye indefinitely.
He opened his mouth, but he couldn't say a word, so he could only nod abruptly at Lu Zhi.
Lu Zhi seemed to have completely understood Nanying's mind, showing an old smile of relief, he turned around abruptly and yelled, "Let's go!" ”
Looking at his tall figure gradually moving away, Nanying finally couldn't stop moistening his eyes.
"Uncle Huang, are you crying?" Liu Wei said in surprise, and then said a little nervously: "Uncle Huang, where are we going now?" ”
"We ......" Nan Ying was about to say a few words of relief to comfort Liu Bian, when suddenly Gao Feng's anxious voice sounded far away: "General, it's not good!" Dong Zhuo's army is about to enter the city, and we must immediately return to the Xu Mansion! ”
"It seems that we ...... Be separated for a while! Nanying took a deep breath and instantly made an extremely important decision in his heart. He hugged Liu Bian's shoulder and said softly: "Bian'er, do you believe in Uncle Huang?" (To be continued......)
