Volume 2 The Death of the Yellow Turban Chapter 2 The Night Rebellion in Luoyang
Luoyang, the imperial capital, is the most magnificent city today, with six miles from east to west and nine miles from north to south, and the number of residents in the city has reached as many as one million.
In the city, two majestic and majestic palaces face each other in the north and south, forming a big "Lu" shape. The south palace is lined up one after another, it is the place where the Son of Heaven discusses politics and the ministers congratulate, and the north palace is magnificent and beautiful, and it is the palace city where the Son of Heaven and his concubines live. In the middle of the two palace cities, it is connected by a compound road that is several miles long, almost dividing the entire Luoyang City into two, which can be called a strange in the history of construction engineering.
At this time, although the night is dark, the double road between the two houses is still brightly lit. In the long path of recourse, every ten paces, a mighty guard stood with a mighty guard, and the brazier on the iron frame behind him was blazing with flames.
The sound of neat footsteps sounded from inside the Nangong Xuanwu Gate, and soon, a team of about dozens of majestic armor soldiers lined up and walked slowly along the side of the compound road towards the Beigong Suzaku Gate that was far away from each other.
Feng Zhenmu walked expressionlessly at the front of the team, his steps were not slow, and even his breathing was very steady, but only he knew that his right hand pressed on the hilt of the sword was already covered with sweat.
Beside him was a general dressed in fish-scale iron armor. The man was about thirty years old, with a long, narrow face with clear outlines, covered with several slender scars, and with his sharp eyes, he showed a domineering and domineering spirit.
The general suddenly sighed softly and said, "Renyi, are you sure it's really worth it for us to do this?" ”
Feng Zhen's stride remained unchanged, and he said lightly: "Do this? Renji, do you know what we're going to do? ”
The general Ren Er was stunned and said, "I'm very strange, why do you want to lead most of our elite men and horses to put on the military uniforms of Wei Wei's subordinates?" Wouldn't it be better for me to lead my subordinate Tiger Benlang on a mission? ”
"Look!" He muttered, "You are a regular servant, and I am a tiger general, but you have a group of Nangong guards to order your subordinates, what is this?" It's just asking for trouble, and it's strange that others don't suspect it! ”
Feng Yu looked up at the bright moon in the sky, estimated the time in his heart, and then sneered: "So, you don't understand what we're going to do at all?" ”
Renji was a little annoyed and said, "Renyi, you still have the face to say that!" I've heard that you've given a secret order to every one of your brothers who participated in tonight's operation, and I'm the only one in the dark! Is there such a thing? ”
Feng Yu said casually: "So what? ”
The green tendons on Renji's forehead jumped, and he almost gritted his teeth and said, "Why?"
I have followed you for so many years, and it can be said that I have shared weal and pain, life and death! Are you still wary of me? ”
A complicated look flashed in Feng Zhen's eyes, and he shook his head and said, "No! It's just that I trust you too much and know you too well! So I must not reveal my plans to you now! ”
The anger on Renji's face eased, and he snorted, "If you don't say it, can't I guess?" You lead us to change our clothes and go straight to the North Palace, the big deal is to assassinate the Son of Heaven! ”
Feng Yu smiled slightly and said, "I know that you can't guess anyway!" Assassinating the Son of Heaven? Hmph, is it necessary to do this now? It's just an increase in casualties, but you can't get half of the benefits! ”
He stopped, staring straight at Renji, "I only ask you for one thing now!" ”
Renji was surprised and said, "What's the matter?" It's rare for you to have such a serious look! ”
Feng Yu said in a low voice: "For a while, no matter what I do, you must not be surprised!" Calm down and do what you're supposed to do! ”
Ren Er was stunned and blurted out, "What do you mean?" What exactly do you want to do? ”
Feng Zhen lowered his face coldly, and said stiffly: "You don't have to talk nonsense!" Remember? ”
Renji took a deep breath, as if he wanted to swallow his grievances and anger back into his stomach, and finally said dejectedly: "Okay! I'll make a note of it! ”
Feng Yu looked at the Suzaku Gate of the Beigong Palace, which was still standing two or three miles away, and exhaled softly, tonight, it was the end of his life! In exchange for this end, it will be the beginning of a chaotic history! I am over 50 years old, and I have no regrets about being able to use the crippled life that will be burned out to do a vigorous event and leave a name in the history books!
He let out a long sigh and said quietly, "Let the brothers slow down!" ”
Seeing Ren Er's stunned gaze, he smiled and said, "In addition to you, I also have an appointment!" ”
Dan Chenzi, Chun Yuqiong and Jia Xu walked out of the room together.
Gao Shun appeared in the dark shadow in the courtyard, and smiled at Dan Chenzi and Chun Yuqiong: "The two of you, you haven't seen you for many days, you have always been good?" ”
Chun Yuqiong hurriedly smiled and returned the salute, and he also had sympathy for Gao Shun.
Dan Chenzi didn't say a word, and his sparkling eyes stared at Gao Shun.
Gao Shun had a strange feeling in his heart, but he couldn't tell why, so he had to smile and look back.
Dan Chenzi suddenly said lightly: "Mr. Gao, can you take a step to speak?" ”
Gao Shun was slightly stunned, but still stretched out his hand and said, "Please!" ”
Chun Yuqiong and Jia Xu stayed in place, looking at each other, and only thought of the word "weird" in their hearts.
Dan Chenzi lowered his head and walked all the way to the backyard before turning around and facing Gao Shun, who was following closely.
He said word by word: "Do it!" ”
Gao Shun lost his voice and said, "What did the Taoist chief say?" ”
The wind was loud, and Dan Chenzi's sleeves spread out, like a canvas that had eaten enough wind power to press down on Gao Shun's head.
Gao Shun was shocked and then retreated, and at the same time pulled out the double ruler in his sleeve and went to Dan Chenzi's double sleeves.
Like the sound of breaking the leather, the two of them shook at the same time, and each took a step back.
Dan Chenzi laughed wildly, and took strange steps under his feet, his figure flickered east and west, like a ghost, and his sleeves rolled up heavy sleeves, like angry waves crashing on the shore, and he continued to attack Gao Shun.
Gao Shun's eyes flashed with disbelief, and his feet changed, and he also conjured up and down in a posture, drawing large and small circles with iron rulers in both hands, and colliding with Danchenzi's endless sleeves to attack and attack.
The sound of "wave" is like the sound of deflated skin.
Gao Shun retreated and said apologetically: "Dao Chief, concede!" ”
Dan Chenzi raised his right hand in a daze, and a hole was pierced on the wide sleeved robe.
He raised his head to the sky, let out a long sigh, and said with a wry smile: "Your master is Wei Boyang, right?" Why do you still call me a Taoist? ”
Gao Shun knelt down on his knees and said respectfully: "Gao Shun greets Uncle Wuchen!" ”
Dan Chenzi laughed, stretched out his hand to pick up Gao Shun, and said happily: "He told you about me, right?" It turns out that my ruthless senior brother still remembers me, an unsuccessful junior brother! ”
He grabbed Gao Shun's arms with both hands, looked at him carefully, and said, "Not bad!" Not bad! It's no wonder that in order to accept you as an apprentice, the senior brother didn't even care about me, and it was more than ten years since he left! ”
Gao Shun smiled and said, "Why did Uncle Shi say this? The master has always mentioned in front of me that there is a dustless junior brother who is naturally intelligent, and his talent and ambition are far superior to him! ”
Dan Chenzi rolled his eyes and said, "Then he's a fart!" This old boy has relied on his advanced skills and has bullied me since he was a child! It's so good to say to me! You kid coaxed me, right? ”
Gao Shun smiled awkwardly and changed the topic: "Uncle Shi, how do you always recognize my identity?" ”
Dan Chenzi's eyes widened and said, "I'm old, but I haven't reached the point where I'm dizzy!" On the day of the battle of Yiyang Courtyard, I saw you against the enemy from afar, and I had a sense of déjà vu, and then I saw you and the killer leader in a vicious battle on the edge of the forest, if I can't recognize the martial arts of this sect, how can I have the face to see your ancestor after death? ”
He sighed softly and said, "It's a pity that I was responsible for escorting the car that day, but I never had time to confirm it, and I have not been able to recognize it until today!" ”
Gao Shun was puzzled: "Uncle Wuchen, the master once said that you have been living in seclusion and retreating in Funiu Mountain, how could you use the pseudonym Danchenzi and serve by the side of the Son of Heaven?" ”
Dan Chenzi's body shook and said with a wry smile: "Dustless!" Alas! Dust-free! I also thought that I could read like water, my heart was clean, and I was old! I can't calm down! In order to be able to revive the prestige of my Danding faction, I stepped into this red and earthly world with one foot, and what face do I have to claim to be dustless? The tone reveals infinite vicissitudes.
Gao Shun suddenly realized in his heart that for decades, as the Fu faction represented by Zhang Jiao and Zhang Xiu became stronger and stronger, the Danding faction showed a trend of withering talents. Especially in the past hundred years, most of the emperors of the Han Dynasty ascended the throne as teenagers, but almost all of them died in a short period of time in the struggle for power and profit between eunuchs and relatives. Therefore, the current situation of the Danding faction can be said to be the twilight of the sunset.
Although Gao Shun was born in the Taoist sect, he has never practiced Danshu, except for a heart of respect for his master Wei Boyang, there is almost no so-called spirit of carrying forward the master in his heart.
But seeing Dan Chenzi's sadness, Gao Shun had no choice but to keep silent, and he couldn't help but feel a little sad for him in his heart.
The two couldn't help but face each other silently, speechless for a long time.
"What!" Emperor Ling's eyes flashed with horror, "Are you saying that there is a Taiping Dao Neiying among the regular servants of the Chinese Dynasty?" ”
He was stunned for a long time before he said, "Not bad! I should have thought that this was the case, otherwise how could the secrets of my trip to Yiyang be easily discovered by the Taiping Dao? ”
He suddenly turned his eyes and gritted his teeth, "Who is this person?" ”
Nanying had a headache, he knew the answer to this question very well, the inner ghosts were Feng Zhen and Xu Feng, but this question could never be answered, once Emperor Ling asked him to provide evidence, how to deal with it?
He couldn't help but curse in his heart, this damn Tang Zhou, you should have gone to the official mansion to tell the whistle a month ago, why didn't you move? It's hard to ride a tiger now, if you don't say it, you will cheapen the Taiping Dao, the enemy of life and death, if you say it, how will you justify it? You can't say it's speculation, right?
He had to say vaguely: "I really don't know this!" I only know that there seems to be more than one ghost inside! ”
The Spirit Emperor couldn't help but be angry and said, "What? More than one person! What a sin deserves death! ”
He suddenly calmed down, stared at Nan Ying and said, "Brother Xian, it's not that I'm suspicious. How did you find out about such a secret matter? ”
Nan Ying had already prepared for this, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, it is also the fate of this group of traitors that is not good, and the younger brother intercepted and killed a group of Heavenly Master Dao bandits above the middle of the road, and although one of the leaders escaped, he left behind a secret letter to and from the Taiping Dao. The letter mentions it! ”
As he spoke, he took out a roll of white silk from his bosom and handed it to Emperor Ling. Of course, this silk book was forged in advance, but it cannot be completely forged, just because this letter was written by Zheng Du, the original Heavenly Master, and it can be said to be seamless.
Emperor Ling suddenly realized: "It turned out to be the Heavenly Master Dao, I just received the good news of the destruction of this gang of thieves a few days ago, okay!" That's great! Otherwise, if these two groups of thieves join forces, I will really be in a hurry! ”
He no longer had any doubts at the moment, just because it was no secret that the two Taoist sects in the East and the West were secretly connected, and he said happily: "Brother Xian is really a blessed general, no!" No, it's the lucky star of my Liu royal family! ”
He suddenly frowned and said, "But! You are too bold, you dare to rob and kill the leader of the Heavenly Master Dao bandits, if you are so strong, you will lose more than you gain! ”
Nan Ying said proudly: "Your Majesty, don't underestimate people, I didn't protect well last time, and I almost lost my life." This time he came to serve His Majesty, how could he come unprepared? ”
Emperor Ling's eyes lit up, and he said happily: "You brought a helper?" How many people? By the way, what about the former county lieutenant of Dong'e? Where are the others? I'm about to hire people! ”
Nanying was startled, and the sweat behind his back came out, he didn't bring the jujube out this time, how could he explain it to Emperor Ling?
He hesitated: "What kind of people? Your Majesty is serious, the younger brother just brought more than 100 generals, as for the jujube! After the younger brother got this big secret, he was worried about His Majesty's safety, of course, it was a starry night, and he would come to meet him in the future! ”
Emperor Ling glanced at Nan Ying strangely and said, "General? It's only been two years since the virtuous brother came back from a foreign land, and he has received so many generals? I've also invited a few masters to come! ”
Nan Ying was startled again, sweating more behind him, and said in a hurry: "It's not surprising, the younger brother has been practicing medicine everywhere in recent years, and there are countless living people, hey, some people insist on repaying each other, in fact, the younger brother is also quite troubled!" ”
Emperor Ling was immediately relieved when he heard this, not to mention anything else, there are already countless people in Yiyang City who are grateful to Nanying, this is what he has seen with his own eyes, if no one is willing to be a slave to repay the great grace of saving his life, it is unbelievable!
He couldn't help but smile and said, "This is also the reason why the virtuous brother has received a lot of help." Rest assured, I am now the time to employ people, and if you still have talents like Mr. Gao and Mr. Jia, I will also entrust you with important tasks! ”
Nanying wiped a cold sweat and knew that he had finally succeeded in getting through the trick again.
Emperor Ling was stunned for a moment before he said, "Brother Xian's news is very timely!" It's a pity that things are still a fog, what conspiracy is Taiping Dao planning? Who are these key inner ghosts, as well as the main messengers of the plan? ”
Nan Ying secretly said in his heart, Your Majesty can't help it, but unfortunately I can't tell you the truth, these key figures are Feng Yu, Xu Feng and Ma Yuanyi, oh yes, and that damn Tang Zhou.
Suddenly, there was a faint sound of thunderous footsteps in the distance.
The two of them were startled at the same time and listened quietly. After a while, the sound of footsteps grew heavier and heavier, mixed with the neighing of horses.
Nan Ying gasped and said, "Your Majesty, listening to this momentum, it should be thousands of well-trained soldiers and horses being mobilized!" Are you going to raid someone's house tonight? ”
Emperor Ling's face sank like water, and he pushed open the door and shouted, "Zhong Jian, immediately go and ask with your identity token!" What's going on in the city? Someone dared to mobilize a large army of men without my will, did he want to rebel? ”
Chun Yuqiong answered from afar and ran all the way.
After a long while, he came back out of breath, bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, outside is the soldiers and horses of Lord Yin Hejin of Henan!"
Emperor Ling was stunned, his face eased, He Jin was his henchman, and it was impossible to launch a rebellion, so there must be something else to do.
He said slightly angrily: "What is going on, even if he is He Jin, how can he move troops without an edict!" ”
A strange look flashed on Chun Yuqiong's face, and he leaned close to Emperor Ling's ear and whispered in a voice that only Emperor Ling and Nanying could hear: "Your Majesty, Lord He said that a person from Taiping Dao called Tang Zhou came to tell the whistle overnight, and he pointed out that among the three people who are often servants, Zhang Rang, Xu Feng and Feng Zhen, there are Taiping Dao Neiying. Lord He didn't dare to believe it, and he couldn't believe it, and he was worried about delaying the opportunity, so he had to send troops to surround the mansions of these people first, and then ask His Majesty to make a decision after dawn! ”
Emperor Ling and Nan Ying heard it clearly, and they all lost their voices and said, "Sure enough!" ”
