Chapter 2 of the 1058 Nights
When Zhu Ye'er arrived at the palace, the battle in the palace was already coming to an end, especially as they got closer and closer to the point of the platform, under the illumination of the lights, the remaining blood stains on the ground and the corpses were all over the place, which still surprised everyone who was already mentally prepared.
Without waiting for Zhu Ye'er to look back at Zuo Jiao, Zuo Jiao had already ordered the guards in the palace to immediately block the palace, and no one was allowed to enter or leave.
And they began to pick up the pace again, running towards the depths of the palace.
At this time, at the Dianjiangtai, the Emperor Taishang grabbed the armrest of the chair stubbornly, no matter how Ye Qing appeased him, he never let go, and as a last resort, Ye Qing had no choice but to let the soldiers carry the chair down the Dianjiangtai and go in the direction of Shoukang Palace.
The corpses of the soldiers along the way, and even the faint screams mixed in there, made the Emperor Taishang, who was sitting firmly in the chair, scream from time to time.
And when he arrived in Shoukang Palace, Ye Qing placed the soldiers of the Flower Planting Army to guard Shoukang Palace, and was about to leave, when Emperor Zhao Yan suddenly let go of the armrest of the chair and grabbed Ye Qing's wrist tightly.
"Ye Qing, you can't leave, you ...... You have to protect me, the rebels will kill me, they will kill me. Emperor Zhao Yan looked frightened, and his eyes were still a little dull, almost crazy.
Ye Qing smiled casually, looked down at his wrist that was grabbed by the Emperor Taishang, obviously he didn't expect that the elderly Emperor Taishang was still so powerful, it actually made his wrist feel a little painful.
"Emperor Taishang, don't worry, the rebels and Han Yanxuan have already besieged Yujin Garden, and they can't hurt you. Now the entire palace is under the control of the ministers, and the ministers ...... The minister now needs to go out to place the palace defense, you can rest assured, Shoukang Palace is surrounded by the minister's most loyal and brave subordinates, with them, no one can break in. Ye Qing's other hand firmly grasped Zhao Yan's hand, and then slowly moved his hand to the armrest of the chair.
As if the person who fell into the water grabbed a life-saving straw, Zhao Yan looked at Ye Qing with some horror, and on the other hand, he subconsciously grabbed the armrest of the chair: "Go and go back quickly, I am waiting for you here." ”
"Yes, the minister will be back soon." Ye Qing smiled and nodded, and then after turning around, the whole person's expression instantly became extremely gloomy!
Standing in front of the main hall of Shoukang Palace, there are sporadic fighting and screams in my ears from time to time, which came abruptly in the silent night, and casually beckoned a soldier of the Flower Planter Army, ripped off the Yanling knife on his waist in his hand, and then coldly ordered: "From now on, guard Shoukang Palace closely, and no one is allowed to approach without my order." ”
With dozens of soldiers from the Flower Planter Army stepping on the Wanshou Bridge quickly, Ye Qing finally glanced back at the somewhat messy Shoukang Palace behind him, at this moment the night and lights were intertwined, a gust of wind blew, the shaking lanterns, and the shadows that changed with it, making the entire Shoukang Palace faintly have a hint of the breath that is about to be extinguished.
In front of the flower garden of Yujin Garden, Ye Qing hurried over with meteors, and the sound of fighting inside gradually became clear at this time, but it also became more and more sparse.
Zhu Ye'er looked at the familiar and tall back surrounded by the soldiers, and instantly the whole person was stunned in place, surprised and happy, but he was afraid that after the person turned around, it would be the face of the left prime minister Han Yanxuan.
With the soldiers beside Ye Qing, they snorted coldly at the noisy and messy footsteps not far away, Ye Qing turned around and looked at a group of people who were leaning over not far away, led by Zhu Ye'er, followed by Zhu Ye'er on both sides, Zuo Jiao and Qingqiu, followed by a group of palace guards with knives and guns in hand and armor.
Under the light of the torch, Zhu Ye'er was almost crying in shock when Ye Qing turned around, and when she stopped, she covered her mouth with one hand, and looked at Ye Qing with a gloomy face in disbelief.
Then after shaking his head in disbelief, he trotted in the direction of Ye Qing.
The soldier of the Flower Planter automatically made way of a passage, and watched Zhu Ye'er rush to Ye Qing, his eyes were full of incredulity and surprise, and he looked Ye Qing up and down in disbelief.
"Your Excellency, ......."
"Did the queen ask you to come back? Where is she now? Ye Qing asked Zhu Ye'er as he swept over Zuo Jiao and Qingqiu who followed Zhu Ye'er.
Without waiting for Zhu Ye'er to answer, another messy footsteps sounded on everyone's side, but this time there were a lot fewer people coming.
Zuo Jiao turned his head to look at the crowd that was coming quickly under the light of the torches, and immediately bowed his head and said to Ye Qing: "My lord, Shi Mi is far away from ....... ”
"See, even if the fat figure is hiding in the crowd, it can be seen at a glance. Zuo Jiao, you immediately reorganize the palace guards, you must strictly guard the Shoukang Palace, and no one is allowed to enter or leave. Qingqiu ...... Rushed to the lonely mountain all night, and asked the Holy Lord and the Emperor Taishang to return to the palace immediately. Ye Qing quickly said to Qingqiu and Zuo Jiao.
As the two of them left with people, Shi Miyuan's carefully obese figure finally squeezed out of the pile of soldiers surrounded by layers.
"Sure enough
As I expected, it seems to have the last laugh...... It's still you, Lord Ye Qingye. Shi Miyuan, like Maitreya Buddha, approached Ye Qing with a fat belly and said, and then his eyes inadvertently swept over the bamboo leaves that secretly took two steps back.
"But even so, Ye is still not as good as you, Master Shi, sitting on the mountain to watch the tiger fight, drinking tea in the mansion, and then sending someone to explore the situation in the palace." Ye Qing turned his head and glanced at the three words of Yujin Garden behind him, and instantly frowned again.
Shi Miyuan didn't seem to be able to hear the sarcasm in Ye Qing's words, and said with a smile: "That's natural, the situation in this palace, Shi just doesn't want to pay attention to it, since Shi agreed to Lord Ye's agreement, how can he ignore it?" What's more, having said that, if it weren't for Lord Ye tonight, you had the last laugh, Shi would not have dared to sneak into the palace with such a few people. ”
Shi Miyuan, who was talking to Ye Qing on the side, looked around from time to time, but never saw anyone who was arrested, so his eyes turned to Ye Qing again.
"Master Shi can't help but think too simply, the leader of the rebels, Han Yanxuan, is now besieged in Yujin Garden, and he is still resisting." Ye Qing looked at Shi Miyuan's inquiring gaze, smiled, and then pointed to Yujin Garden behind him and said, "Originally, Ye Mou wanted to enjoy the credit of pacifying the rebels alone, but now it seems that it is ......." ”
"When did Shi Miyuan care? Do you think I'm the traitor? Shi Miyuan's gaze swept at Zhu Ye'er again, in his opinion, the queen's shadow will appear here at this time, it must be to send Ye Qing a holy decree to crusade and quell the rebels, but he has another layer of concerns in his heart, that is, tonight, the saint and the queen have not returned in the lonely mountain, and the emperor is in the palace, so if you want to get rid of Han Yanxuan tonight without leaving any trouble, I am afraid that relying on the will of the saint and the queen who are not in the palace alone will not be enough to persuade the ministers in the court tomorrow.
"What do you mean?" Ye Qing asked after being pulled to a secluded place by Shi Miyuan.
"Lord Ye was born in the army, so he naturally knows the principle of cutting grass and eradicating roots." Shi Miyuan glanced at Zhu Ye'er not far away, and then continued: "But even if Miss Ye'er sent you the will of the Holy Lord, ...... Lord Ye, don't forget, the saint and the queen are not in the palace, and Han Yanxuan is rebelling tonight, although the will of the saint can ensure that Lord Ye is safe and sound, and even if Lord Ye can justifiably eradicate the traitor Han Yanxuan, he will not be able to persuade the ministers to ...... with the rest of the Han party tomorrow. ”
"Do you think there will still be a Han Party in Lin'an City?" Ye Qing asked with a smile on the corner of his mouth, still holding the Yanling knife in his hand.
Shi Miyuan was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized that Li Lifang's criminal department tossed all night last night, and a lot of his own people were arrested, but in the end, because he agreed to join forces with Ye Qing, those officials who were co-opted by himself were also released overnight.
And now the meaningful smile on the corner of Ye Qing's mouth instantly made him understand that Ye Qing not only arrested him through the Criminal Department last night, but also arrested many henchmen of the Han Party.
Ye Qing still hasn't had time to ask Zhu Ye'er the purpose of appearing in the palace tonight, because he hasn't had time to communicate with Zhu Ye'er, so Shi Miyuan brought someone over.
Therefore, Ye Qing at this moment is not very sure about Shi Miyuan's determination that Zhu Ye'er is sending him the holy decree of the rebel party Han Yanxuan on behalf of Li Fengniang.
Because although he told Li Fengniang when he was in Xingyuan that he wanted to join forces with Shi Miyuan to get rid of Han Yanxuan, but later, when the saint and the queen left Lin'an to go to Lonely Mountain, his alliance with Shi Miyuan was already broken, and as for Shi Miyuan to agree again, it was still last night, Li Fengniang, who lived in a lonely mountain, could not know about it.
"Now that Lord Ye already has a perfect plan...... Shi Miyuan was a little hesitant and entangled, biting his lip, if he didn't appear here at the moment, then he would definitely not remind Ye Qing, but at this moment he had already appeared here, and Han Yanxuan was still alive in Yujin Garden, so he Shi Miyuan would inevitably be implicated in this matter.
As Ye Qing said just now, it would be his Ye Qing's work to get rid of the traitor Han Yanxuan, but now with his arrival, then the two of them must be divided equally, so because of this concern, Shi Miyuan had to help Ye Qing plan more cautiously.
"The saint and the queen are not in the palace after all, the traitor Han Yanxuan entered the palace tonight, naturally he came to the emperor, if Lord Ruoye only has the holy decree in his hand, it is difficult to explain this matter clearly in front of the ministers tomorrow, after all, it is still necessary to be justified. So according to Shi's opinion...... At the moment, we still have to get the will of the emperor, and the will of the emperor is ...... in black and white. The corners of Shi Miyuan's mouth sneered as if he was about to kill, and under the uncertain lights, it looked somewhat gloomy.
Ye Qing's heart was shocked, he was not as thoughtful as Shi Miyuan, and he ...... After all, he had just killed the Emperor Taishang's people in front of the Emperor Tai at the Dianjiangtai, even if he wanted his will...... Ye Qing suddenly regretted a little, if he had just been able to think of this step when the Emperor Taishang grabbed his wrist tightly, he would have thought ......of this step.
"So be it,
I will now go to Shoukang Palace to ask for the will of the Emperor, and you are here to arrest the traitor Han Yanxuan ....... Shi Miyuan said excitedly.
Ye Qing didn't wait for him to finish speaking, and immediately refused: "No need, why bother Lord Shi to do this matter?" Miss Ye'er ....... Ye Qing shouted not far away, looking at the shadow where the two of them were.
Seeing Zhu Ye'er arrive, and then looking at the eyes that were a little excited and worried, he left Shi Miyuan and took Zhu Ye'er to a short distance, and then quietly informed Zhu Ye'er of Shi Miyuan's suggestion, and asked Zhu Ye'er about the purpose of coming here tonight.
Zhu Ye'er squeaked and did not say the purpose of her coming here, but instead responded to Ye Qing's request, and she went to Shoukang Palace now to ask the Emperor Taishang to kill the traitor Han Yanxuan's personal will.
Watching Zhu Ye'er leave with a group of people, Ye Qing breathed a heavy sigh of relief at this time, stood there alone, and after going through all the things tonight again, he took the reluctant Shi Miyuan and walked towards the Yujin Garden, where the sound of the fight had disappeared.
Shi Miyuan was obviously not very willing to go with Ye Qing to see Han Yanxuan, but right now, Ye Qing would let him withdraw again, and then hide to the side to watch the excitement.
Under the leadership of a group of soldiers, Ye Qing and Shi Miyuan took the lead in finding Jia She, who was covered in blood.
Seeing that the same blood stains on his face were about to cover his entire face, only a pair of eyes were flickering, Ye Qing frowned slightly, looked at Jia Shi and asked, "Have you ever been injured?" ”
"Lord Hui, the last general was not injured, this little battle is nothing, compared to the war with the Jin people, this is simply not worth mentioning." Jia Shi touched the blood stains on his face, and then stretched out his hand, but he couldn't tell whether the blood on his hands was the original blood on his hands or the blood on his face.
"How many rebels are there?" Ye Qing looked at the place illuminated by the torch in front of him, faintly like a small hill, and behind the hill, there was a rockery barrier with a height of three or four people, and this also meant that now Han Yanxuan and the others, as long as they did not take advantage of the chaos to escape, then they must be trapped in that small corner.
"There should only be a hundred or so people left, because there is no order from the adults, so they just surround them and don't let them escape." Jia Shi led the way for Ye Qing and Shi Miyuan.
And Shi Miyuan, who was next to him, exclaimed from time to time, either he was tripped under his feet by a stump and a broken arm, and then his fat cheeks turned white with fright, or he stepped on the blood stains, and the sound and feeling of the blood stains sticking to the soles of his boots made Shi Miyuan grin extremely uncomfortable and disgusting, as if he had eaten a big fly.
Ye Qing looked at Shi Miyuan, who had complained all the way, and said with a smile: "Master Shi can't stand this little scene if he doesn't ...... it." ”
"Shi is not compared with a rough man like you, Shi is an elegant and elegant minister...... Yes....... The obese Shi Miyuan looked up to the sky again and let out a helpless scream, unconsciously, he didn't know what he stepped on, in short, it was soft and greasy, and he immediately stuck to the sole of his boot when he stepped on it, and then looked down under the light of the torch, only to see the red and white, like the intestine-like long object was not only stepped on by Shi Miyuan on the sole of the boot, but also because of Shi Miyuan's disgusted shaking, but wrapped around his ankle.
Xia Zhen, who was beside Shi Miyuan, hurriedly squatted down and asked Shi Miyuan to hold his shoulder, and then he quickly helped Shi Miyuan pull away the intestines with a strong smell of blood.
On the small hill, there were hundreds of soldiers of the Flower Planters, and this was the number of people who had been scattered in other parts of Yujin Garden after the battle, and the torches lit up the place as bright as day.
As Ye Qing dragged Shi Miyuan hard, and walked to the front from the passage where the soldiers of the Flower Planter Army automatically got out of the way, Han Yanxuan on the opposite side also walked out slowly from behind an ornamental stone.
The armor was covered with bloodstains, and his hand was the same as Ye Qing, and he was also carrying an unsheathed Yanling knife, and the helmet was slowly taken off by Han Yanxuan and thrown aside, his whole cheeks looked thinner at this moment, and his eyes were becoming more and more sunken.
Ye Qing and Shi Miyuan stepped forward, and the soldiers beside them slowly retreated backwards, Han Yanxuan also stood not far from Ye Qing and Shi Miyuan, and the few soldiers who originally followed behind him also retreated behind the ornamental stone at this moment, and the open space was left to Ye Qing, Shi Miyuan, and Han Yanxuan.
"Master Shi is also here?" Han Yanxuan's somewhat tired and hoarse voice sounded calmly in Ye Qing and Shi Miyuan's ears.
"The three of us have been officials in the same dynasty for many years, no matter what, Shi and Lord Ye will have to give Lord Han a ride, right?" Shi Miyuan's fat hand habitually stroked his stomach and said.
"I can't think of Lord Ye...... will even join forces with people like Shi Miyuan, the so-called anti-gold heroes, in the court dispute, it seems that it is nothing more than that. Han Yanxuan said with some emotion.
"Although Ye and Master Shi have different political views, they are both loyal to the imperial court." Ye Qing's words seemed to be completely inconsistent with Han Yanxuan's words, but he could obviously feel that when Ye Qing finished speaking, endless grief and indignation instantly appeared on Han Yanxuan's body.
