Chapter 277: Hugh Stops Me and Returns Xiling (3)
Hou Shigui stayed in the inn until the early morning of the next day, and heard the sound of dense footsteps outside, and everyone in the inn was alert.
They all stood guard by the windows and gates of the inn with their swords.
Not long after, the brocade guard outside the inn came to report:
"Commander, Your Majesty ordered all the Jinyi Guards to be dispatched to arrest all the ministers of Shangshu Province!"
Hearing this, Hou Shigui was not in a hurry, and said to Xiang Xu beside him:
"This should be the collapse of the talks between Yang He and those big families in the early dynasty, and now the forbidden army should all be dispatched to arrest people.
As for those big families, they should be thinking about how to escape from Chu Jing now. ”
After that, Hou Shigui straightened the corners of his clothes, got up and said:
"Time is running out, let's hurry up and leave this place."
Hou Shigui gave an order, and the Xiling warriors in the building got up one after another and followed Hou Shigui away.
As soon as he saw Hou Shigui come out, Bao Sen, who had been waiting outside the door for a long time, had already saluted one after another:
"I've seen Childe!"
"I've seen the Commander!"
Hou Shigui glanced at the hundreds of heavily armed guards in front of him, nodded and said:
"Go out of the city with Ben's command and catch the thief!!"
"Whoa!"
As soon as everyone answered the order in unison, they followed Hou Shigui and left Tianya Tower.
I didn't want to take a few steps before someone shouted outside:
"Where is the dog thief?! Take your life!! ”
When I looked closely, I saw a bunch of heavily armed soldiers rushing towards it.
The leader is a general of the forbidden army:
"Your Majesty has an order, the commander of the Jinyi Guard makes Hou Shigui harbor evil intentions, do evil, and commit a heinous crime, remove the commander from the position, and the surrounding Jinyi Guards will not take it down quickly!"
The comers came with hundreds of forbidden soldiers, and they went toe-to-toe with Hou Shigui's Jinyi Guards and Xiling Samurai.
Hearing this, Hou Shigui knew that Yang He's guy had finally made a move on himself.
He fell out with the big family in the court, in order to appease the hearts of those who have not yet turned their faces with him, this is to use himself to appease the hearts of the people who have carried the black pot for him!
If you don't have all the preparations before, you don't come back in time, but you are just a native of this world.
I'm afraid that under the old thinking of Zhongjun, he will really be killed by Yang He.
But now, he is not completely unprepared, Hou Shigui smiled:
"This official is ordered to investigate the case, if there is any obstacle, it can be punished according to the conspiracy, Jinyiwei, listen to my order, and take down all these rebellious troops who participated in the conspiracy!"
"I have a decree here!! You ......"
Before the general of the forbidden army could finish speaking, he was shot by the Xiling warrior who had already prepared by Hou Shigui's side with a divine arm bow, and immediately shot him into a hedgehog.
Then, when the forbidden army saw the death of its own general, it was suddenly chaotic, and the Jinyi guard had already been ordered by the four thousand households, and he also knew what the commander was going to do.
He drew his saber, and without waiting for the forbidden army to react, he slaughtered them, and shouted:
"Kill the rebel!!"
There is no organization, no leadership, and there is no knowledge of what is happening, which is the opponent of the Jinyi Guard who has been prepared for a long time?
However, after being washed by the brocade guards, the forbidden army all broke up, hugging their heads and running away.
The road was clear, and Hou Shigui continued to lead the Jinyi Guard and the Xiling warriors to follow Bao Senchao's reserved passage out of the city.
After walking for a while, he saw smoke billowing from the vicinity of the Imperial City.
It's time for the self-preservation forces prepared by the Maison in Beijing to start activating.
The big families who stayed in Beijing were not stupid, in addition to the forbidden army, they naturally prepared second-hand unknown preparations.
Now that is a matter of life and death, this is the time for these preparations to come to the fore!
Seeing that the imperial city was on fire, there was also a faint sound of shouting and killing in the distance.
Hou Shigui led everyone around a street corner, and saw dozens of forbidden soldiers fighting with several guards.
Those guarding the center, several officials looked panicked and frightened.
Seeing this, Hou Shigui ordered:
"Divine Arm Bow, Open the Way!"
"Whoa!"
Hundreds of Xiling warriors got Hou Shigui's order, and they came out of the crowd and came to the front of the battle.
At first, the forbidden army didn't know whether these brocade guards were friends or foes, and the archers on the opposite side of the queue knew that they were friends and foes.
They picked up their shields and blocked the street, thinking, is it that your brocade guards can shoot when they hear the sound, and their archery skills are exquisite, so they may be able to shoot through this shield? !
When my forbidden army arrives, we are about to get rid of you rebels!
Unexpectedly, with a sound of breaking the sky, those shield men squatting on the street fell to the ground one by one.
As for the shields in front of them, they were as fragile as paper paste in front of the Divine Arm Bow.
Shoot these shield hands, and the Xiling warriors bow and crossbow for the god arm, and those forbidden soldiers were horrified when they saw this, and they didn't care about those few families, they turned around and ran.
On the contrary, when the sons of those families saw the reinforcements coming, they cried and shouted:
"Which brother is helping me, I ......"
But before they could report their names, Xiang Xu gave an order.
The Divine Arm Bow fired crossbow bolts again, and those family members, along with their guards, were immediately shot over the spot.
Hou Shigui didn't even raise his eyelids before ordering:
"Keep going, pick up the pace! Be sure to leave Chujing before the forbidden army encircled! ”
The reason why Hou Shigui didn't take advantage of last night's night to leave early was because the inn where he was located had the eyeliner of major families and even Yang He.
Once he has any changes, Yang He and the major families will know it as soon as possible.
If he left suddenly, Yang He had a ghost in his heart, and he didn't dare to implement the imperial examination system anymore.
He does not implement the imperial examination system, and the major families are not in turmoil, so he can only wait to be besieged from all sides in Xiling.
There is no need to even besiege from all sides, the Xiling border army alone can drag itself for a while!
Therefore, Hou Shigui can only wait until now, when all of Yang He's plans are launched, before he can get out of the city.
Seeing that the shouting and killing sounds around him were getting thicker and thicker, Hou Shigui even heard the faint scream, and the cry of pain came into his ears, and his feet accelerated a little.
Finally, before the forbidden army closed up, they reached a small city gate at the west gate.
When I arrived at this small city gate, I looked up, and saw that the city gate was surrounded by corpses and bloodstains, although most of them were the corpses of those scoundrels, but this city gate was finally snatched down by the skins with their lives.
The remaining dozens of splashes saw that Hou Shigui was coming, and hurriedly stepped forward and saluted respectfully:
"I've seen Childe!"
Hou Shigui saw that these splashes were covered in blood, and they looked like they had crawled out of the pile of dead, and sighed:
"True warriors! Although I return to Xiling, there will be a day when you will soar in the future! ”
The crowd sacrificed their lives to fight for the city gate, didn't they want Hou Shigui to say this?
Hearing this, it is even more exciting.
They all led the way out of the city gate, and shouted to Hou Shigui:
"Childe, stay there! I'll open the way!! ”
Hou Shigui was about to leave the city with his front feet, but there was a heavy sound of horses' hooves from behind.
Looking back, I saw hundreds of knights wearing three layers of thick armor, and even the war horses under their crotch were wearing leather armor, and they were chasing after them with spears and bows and crossbows.
Ti Ride!!
Yang He actually sent this elite cavalry army that he had carefully cultivated to hunt down and kill him?!
