CHAPTER XXXV
Si Kouzhan and Si Kouqing have already deployed the remaining 30,000 soldiers and horses, but it is still difficult to estimate how many people the prince has in his hands, they dare not take it lightly, they have been guarding the palace, discussing various matters, and even the He family, who has not been in charge of things, also appeared in the palace.
It has been two days since the prince disappeared, and there is still no news of the prince, but the more there is no news, the more worrying it is.
The crown prince has made up his mind to rebel, so naturally he will not let the people in the capital wait. He marched towards the capital with his army of 40,000 men, and the people on the road had already scattered when they saw so many people entering the city, especially with weapons in their hands.
When the crown prince approached the capital with people, the news had already reached the ears of the emperor and Si Kouxi. Si Kouxi wanted to make tea, but for some reason he didn't hold the teacup in his hand, and the cup was directly broken. Wuge and Qi Jia were shocked when they heard the sound of broken porcelain, and stopped what they were doing.
Wu Ge was the first to react, and hurriedly said that he wanted to sort out the debris, but Si Kouxi didn't stop it, just looked at the debris on the ground and frowned. A secret guard rushed in, immediately leaned down and said, "The princess is not good, the prince is coming to the palace with people." ”
Wuge and Qi Jia were a little incredulous, they knew that the Six Princes' Mansion couldn't escape the Prince's invasion, but they didn't expect him to even go to the palace and rushed straight to the Six Princes' Mansion. Si Kouxi clenched his fists, gritted his teeth and said, "Go and bring out the prepared corpse for me and pour all the oil on it." Qi Jia, you immediately let all the subordinates go according to my previous instructions, and all the rest of the secret guards and royal soldiers will guard the palace for me! ”
Everyone was ordered to do their own thing immediately, and they did not dare to slack off in the slightest. Si Kouxi hooked the corners of his mouth, groped the jade pendant on his waist and said, "Prince, see who can play whom!" After speaking, his eyes narrowed slightly, and his eyes showed a fierce gaze.
All the subordinates had already been angry with Si Kouxi, Si Kouxi said to let them leave immediately, although the housekeepers of the Six Princes Mansion and the Nine Princes' Mansion were very worried, they still led their own people to leave through the back door of the palace. One by one, they all dressed up in disguise and went to the capital dining court.
went to the territory of Bihai Palace, even if the prince wanted to check, it was also messing around on the territory of Bihai Palace, and the people of Bihai Palace had a legitimate reason to counter it, and it would not involve the head of the six princes.
All the personal soldiers of the palace were on standby, and the secret guards withdrew to the outskirts of the capital. Although it was to this day, Si Kouxi still didn't want to expose Lan Jing that he had a nine-story building secret guard in his hand, and he also held the Bihai Palace in his hand. The combination of these two organizations is indeed enough to make people tremble, and they are sure to fight with the prince, but this also exposes that the husband and wife raised an army privately, and they were remembered by people with intentions, and they were also rebellions.
How is this behavior different from that of the crown prince.
The entire palace was in full array, and the sonorous sound of horses' hooves was getting closer and closer. Si Kouxi stood in Jing Yuan, looking at everything familiar in front of her, she and Lan Jing were happy here is time and vivid, and now she plans to burn here, and she also feels that it is a pity. Wuge walked up to Si Kouxi and said, "Palace Master, it's here." ”
Qi Jia and Wu Ge both turned around and stood on both sides of the gate of Jingyuan, and Si Kouxi sat on the main seat, staring ahead. The crown prince looked at the closed Six Princes' Mansion in front of him, and sneered: "Lan Jing, you wait to come back and collect the corpse." Lan Xiao ordered people to break open the gate of the Six Princes' Mansion, and as soon as the door opened, the garden was full of soldiers waiting for him.
However, this number seemed to him to be like a family, and he shouted, "Brother and sister, do you think these people can stop me!" Kill me, don't leave a single one! The soldiers rushed into the palace, and the enemy was outnumbered, so the palace soldiers could only fight and retreat.
In the end, the few remaining soldiers stopped in front of Jingyuan and stood in front of Si Kouxi, and they were ready to defend the last line of defense. Lan Xiao finally saw Si Kouxi, who was sitting on the main seat in black, with a black veil covering his face. Lan Xiao hates to see her like this, like Lan Jing.
The husband and wife always give the people around them this feeling of superiority, as if they are above everyone. But it didn't help at this time, Si Kouxi was held in his hands sooner or later, to threaten Si Kouzhan that old thing, to threaten Lan Jing, the person who thought he was superior.
But it's so strange that she is the only one in this palace, and she doesn't even have a domestic servant. Si Kouxi looked at Lan Xiao outside, and said coldly: "Don't search, the people in this palace have already been dismissed by me." Lan Xiao had to admire this woman, she actually dismissed the entire palace, and she dared to confront herself with a few personal soldiers, which was really courageous. But no matter how bold he is, it eventually becomes a stumbling block for Lan Jing.
He said disdainfully: "Brother and sister, since you are the only one, you should be arrested as soon as possible, it is rare for you to see the bloody scene." ”
Si Kouxi really felt funny, he had seen more bloody scenes than you had seen, Si Kouxi stood up, suddenly laughed and said: "Lan Xiao, you don't want to catch me, you don't want to occupy the Six Princes' Mansion, even if I die, I won't be caught by you to threaten the prince." ”
Lan Xiao still wanted to see what tricks Si Kouxi played, and suddenly there was a fire in the Jing Garden, Lan Xiao and all the soldiers were taken aback, Lan Xiao shouted: "Si Kouxi, what are you doing!" Si Kouxi ignored him, she stood in the fire, felt the heat around her and said: "Lan Xiao, your crown prince position was snatched, and the name is not right, so you can only force the palace, and you can only rely on the unjustified method to grab the throne!" ”
After speaking, Wuge and Qi Jia closed the door of Jingyuan.
Lan Xiao looked at the closed door, the anger in his heart could not be calmed down for a long time, and he couldn't forget the ridicule and banter in Si Kouxi's eyes. He ordered people to rush in and bring Si Kouxi out, but the remaining soldiers of the palace formed a wall of gambling on human flesh and blocked the door. Si Kouxi's momentum of burning himself to death in the Jing Garden, and not planning to surrender, stimulated them, and they must stop Lan Xiao's soldiers.
Si Kouxi, Qi Jia, and Wuge immediately ran into the bedroom to put out the three corpses that had been prepared, and lit them everywhere with torches. Si Kouxi felt that it was almost over, so he ran to the bedroom and opened the entrance of the tunnel, and left with them from the tunnel. They coughed desperately when they got to the tunnel, after all, the room was already on fire when they left, and they choked on several puffs of smoke.
Si Kouxi and the others thought that it was not appropriate to stay for a long time, and immediately ran out along the tunnel.
How could the house that had been doused with oil be extinguished so easily, and the pro-soldiers delayed for a while. At this time, he was already powerless, Lan Xiao looked at the house in front of him that was out of control, he gritted his teeth and said, "What a sixth princess, Lan Jing, you really married a good wife!" Then he said to the soldiers, "When the fire is small, dig people out for me, and see people alive and corpses dead." The soldiers received the order and tried their best to put out the fire, but after all, they couldn't withstand the fire, and the Jingyuan collapsed all at once.
The flames soared into the sky, with a loud bang, the six princes' mansions were on fire, and the Jingyuan collapsed, and the six princesses burned themselves to death long ago. The people of the Six Princes' Mansion and the Nine Princes' Mansion in the Dining Pavilion were all stunned when they heard the news, and Steward Wu muttered: Impossible, impossible······ He clamored to go out and find out, but he didn't believe it.
A dark guard drew his sword and pressed it against Steward Wu's neck, Steward Wu didn't care about it, it was still like this, and the dark guard couldn't believe what he heard. He whispered, "Steward Wu, you look at everyone, I'll go." Steward Wu had no choice but to agree, and the secret guard went out in the direction of the Six Kings' Mansion.
The secret passage in Jingyuan's bedroom leads to the room where He Yi lived in the former He Mansion, which Lan Jing had told him a long time ago. Si Kouxi thought that Lan Xiao would definitely not forget the He Mansion, so she couldn't delay and had to leave there before Lan Xiao investigated the He Mansion.
Si Kouxi crawled out of the tunnel, and she listened to the fact that there was no movement at all in the He Mansion. The He family has already gone to the palace, and there will be no one here in He Yi. The three of them sneaked out smoothly. Si Kouxi had to go back to Bihai Palace, and in the name of the boy who was smoking, she would bring more people from Bihai Palace to the palace, because she found that Lan Xiao was not an ordinary officer and soldier, but a person from the rivers and lakes.
Si Kouxi didn't guess wrong, because some people in the rivers and lakes have been suppressed by Bihai Palace, so they fought back angrily, joined forces with the prince, and helped the prince win the throne, in exchange for Lan Xiao to help them destroy Bihai Palace in the future.
Si Kouxi thought that she would be able to run back to Bihai Palace safely, but who knew that she was stopped at the foot of the mountain. Si Kouxi looked at the people in red in front of her, and the appearance of the Blood Lotus Sect appeared in her mind. She cursed and drew her sword. The people who came were all good players in the Blood Lotus Sect, and Si Kouxi had already disguised herself back to the appearance of Liuyan in order not to arouse suspicion, and at this time she couldn't help but regret it, why did she change her clothes so early.
There are all gossip arrays under Bihai Palace, and no one can guide them to enter, so they can only guard at the foot of Bihai Palace Mountain. They also found out that Yan Qi left with a large number of people today, and the Bihai Palace at this time must be the most vulnerable, as long as they can enter, then the Bihai Palace will be like ants.
The three of them looked like they were going to the Bihai Palace, and it was difficult to catch them and go to the Bihai Palace! Besides, the palace masters are all here! Although they were afraid of the Smokekeeper, they thought that they were being pressed by the Bihai Palace everywhere, and there were so many people around them, and their opponents were only three people, even if there was a Smokekeeper.
Si Kouxi whispered: "Don't fall in love with war, the most important thing is to rush into the forest." Wuge and Qi Jia said they understood. Several people quickly fought, Si Kouxi and the three of them were very powerful, killing many people, but two fists were invincible to four hands, and soon Si Kouxi and the three of them were surrounded by them. Si Kouxi and the others had killed a lot of people, and the people of the Blood Lotus Sect were also afraid, so they surrounded them in the middle and did not act rashly.
Si Kouxi and they were all injured, Wuge frowned and whispered, "Their weapons are poisonous. We're afraid we won't be able to last long. Si Kouxi didn't expect that she was going to die here, she felt the pain caused by the injuries on her body, she was unwilling, Qi Jia looked at those people from the Blood Lotus Sect, and whispered: "Palace Master, Wuge and I will send you out!" Wuge nodded in agreement, and the two of them were lucky enough to make a breakthrough.
Si Kouxi sneered and said, "How is it possible, if you want to go together, you have to die together!" After speaking, he greeted the people of the Blood Lotus Sect. Wuge and Qi Jia hooked the corners of their mouths, their palace masters are always like this, she is always the first to rush to the front in the face of danger, which is why they follow her with all their hearts, she values their lives more than herself.
Qi Jia and Wuge planned to push Si Kouxi out, they suddenly turned around and rushed towards Si Kouxi, the two glanced at each other, and the secret weapon swung out to kill the people around Si Kouxi, and the two of them joined forces to push Si Kouxi out of the encirclement. Qi Jia and Wuge were both stabbed by a sword because of this, and Si Kouxi watched the sword slash towards them, tears welling up in his eyes, but the combined palm power of the two of them made him unable to stabilize his body for a while.
Qi Jia and Wu Ge thought that when they were here, those Blood Lotus Sect people who were surrounding them were killed. Si Kouxi looked at the three people rushing over, and she exclaimed, "Master! Wuge was hugged by Shao Cangshu and stabilized his figure. Wuge asked in surprise, "Why are you here?" Shao Cangshu didn't have time to kill people, but he didn't have time to explain, so he only said: "It's a long story." With the help of the two masters of the Great Compassion Temple and Shao Cangshu, several people fought and retreated into the woods.
Si Kouxi held on to his remaining consciousness and led the group to the long stairs before falling.
