Chapter 67: Dagger Appearance (1)

When the phrase "the general is dead" spread, most of Luoyang City was in an uproar. The armor soldiers secretly prepared by each family were put on the bright side. Subsequently, the soldiers and horses from unknown places attacked the Guangyang Gate and the Peace City Gate, and the sound of fierce battles could be heard by people in a radius of several miles.

The people in the vicinity, whether they are ordinary people or high-ranking families, are like great enemies. The small family moved out of the water tank, pressed the gate against it, and then the whole family shivered together on the bed. The big family of the high gate ordered the family to go to the courtyard wall to guard it, and the family members all gathered in the backyard.

The swords and soldiers are together, and the jade is burned. When Dou Wu and Chen Fan were killed decades ago, the capital was in chaos, and I don't know how many people were robbed by soldiers and bandits who took advantage of the fire to break into their homes. The people who witnessed that incident back then are not finished, and everyone else grew up listening to that event.

The atmosphere in Beijing is tense, and every day is getting better and better, and the officials and people in the city, except for those with bad intentions, who are not worried? After worrying for so many days, the one who should come still comes, or rather, the one who should come has finally come. Many people recite the names of various gods and goddesses at home, thinking that as long as they can avoid this catastrophe, they will burn incense and make vows.

After many people prayed to the gods in the sky, they thought of the White Horse Temple in the east of the city. Although I didn't like those bald monks very much before, I thought that there was no harm in worshipping them, so I decided that as long as I could get through this, I would also burn incense for those Hu gods.

The battle between the two gates was fierce and short, and the southern army defending the city was quickly routed under internal and external attacks. Immediately, the rout and the scoundrels in the city began to attack the houses everywhere, and even many of the soldiers on the attacking side deserted and joined the robbery team.

Luoyang is the heart of the empire, and I don't know how many rich and noble families live in the city. When the soldiers rushed into this kind of fancy world, how could there be any reason not to let go and rob it? The attacking soldiers and horses were hot-eyed, and soon joined in the pleasant plundering with the clamour, and even put aside the guarding of the city gates.

The courtyard wall of the high-gate house was not only tall, but also guarded by many family members, and after the rebels hit the wall, they quickly changed their goal and rushed to the homes of those ordinary people and burned them wantonly. The weak will always swing their knives at the weaker most of the time, not the other way around.

"Bang bang bang!"

Outside the shop facing the street, more than a dozen rebels held torches and knocked on the door vigorously, shouting: "Open the door, open the door quickly!" ”

"If you don't open the door again, your brothers will be welcome!"

"Get out of the way," a few rebels dragged big axes to the front, and with a few strokes, the door was split open, and the rebels rushed in cheering. Immediately, the furniture was turned over, and the screams of the male and female hosts sounded.

This kind of thing happens constantly, and there are even some young men who get involved with the rebels and act as guides for the rebels. They are local natives, and they know best which families are rich and which are few. As soon as the raid began, a fire was ignited. In order to create chaos, the rebels often set a fire after the robbery.

On the General's Mansion, hundreds of torches were lit, and the lobby was full of armored soldiers. He Jin sat under the eaves with a gloomy face, and the soldiers in front of him and behind him were all sharp knives out of their sheaths, and their bows and arrows were wound. He was originally a butcher, and after he became an official in the court, he has always paid attention to blocking, otherwise he will be ridiculed by those family members, and he sits on the ground without regard for etiquette like now, which is something that has not happened for a long time.

However, no one dared to persuade the current He Jin. The Great General, who had just been assassinated, was undoubtedly in a state of rage, and no one would be so blind. After waiting for a long time, just when the air in the house was about to freeze, the sound of horses' hooves sounded on the street outside.

"Jiyang Hou is back!"

With the shouts of the soldiers, the dark clouds on He Jin's face suddenly dissipated, and he jumped up from the floor, ran out quickly, and shouted, "Shuda! ”

Outside the door, the torches in the hands of the soldiers were blazing and making a "crackling" sound. He Jin ran out of the gate, looked left and right, but did not see the figure of his younger brother, only saw a carriage surrounded by soldiers in the center, and couldn't help asking; "Jiyang Hou is injured?"

The general bowed his head, not daring to look at him. He Jin's heart sank, and he reached out to lift the curtain. However, when his hand grasped the curtain, it trembled, as if the light curtain weighed a thousand pounds. The thick smell of blood came out of the car, and He Jin gritted his teeth and slammed the curtain open.

Inside the carriage, He Miao, the Marquis of Jiyang, was lying quietly on the thick carpet, with a smile on the corner of his mouth and a peaceful face, as if he was asleep. However, a large, hideous wound had broken open in his chest, and the blood had dried up on the edges of the wound, leaving only some solidified brown plates.

The general knelt down with the soldiers around him and said in a wailing voice: "General! ”

He Jin looked at the familiar face and suddenly remembered what happened when he was a child. At that time, he slaughtered pigs and sheep every day, and his younger brother helped on the side........ His hands suddenly stopped shaking, and his breathing calmed down. He Jin turned around and asked, "Have you found out who it is?" ”

The general hurriedly raised his head and said: "The armor and weapons on the enemy's body are all from the arsenal, with the mark of Shaofu on them, in addition to the ring-headed sword and spear, there are also horse lances and three-stone strong bows in the army, and most of the mounts are war horses produced in Youzhou. As for who it is, the subordinates are incompetent, and it is not confirmed. ”

He Jin raised his head and looked around, and in the firelight, the armor soldier reflected a cold and fiery light.

He seemed to see He Miao trying to persuade him: "...... From the Huo family to the Dou family, the relatives who hold power have never ended well, and keeping the right is the way to protect the family. ”

He Jin said to himself: "Keep the right and hold the middle? Shuda, you want to be a good person, but in this world, good people can't live. ”

He said to the soldiers on the ground, "What are you doing on your knees? Get up! ”

The soldiers stood up amid the sound of the clashing of weapons.

He Jin looked at Zhang Zhang on the side, and said silently in his heart: This person has always been at odds with the Marquis of Jiyang, could it be the soldiers he sent?

Zhang Zhang is He Jin's confidant and favorite general, and he has always been very favored, but this time he didn't go to Beigong with him, and after hearing that the general was attacked, he hurriedly rushed over. Seeing He Jin staring at his neck, Zhang Zhang only felt a chill in his back, but he didn't understand what was going on.

He Jin looked at Zhang Zhang for a while, turned his head around, stared at another general, and said in his heart: This person has an average relationship with the Marquis of Jiyang, maybe he feels that he has been given a cold reception, and then sent soldiers?

He stared at a general for a long time, and said in his heart: This person has a good relationship with the Marquis of Jiyang........ If you have a good relationship, you can't send troops?

He Jin looked at the nearby generals one by one, and finally stopped, he walked to the front of the carriage, wanting to see He Miao again, but he didn't want to see his brother's dead appearance again. He stood in front of the carriage for a long time, and finally said, "Bathe and change clothes for Jiyang Hou." ”

"No!"

Now there are still a few hours before dawn, even if He Jin is a general, there is nothing he can do now, he can only stick to the family house and the West Gate first. Although people have been sent to give orders to the infantry battalion and the shooting battalion, it is now that it is night, the city is full of chaotic soldiers, and the cavalry who give the order may not be able to reach the destination.

Even if the order arrived, the soldiers and horses of the two battalions would not follow the order. Taking a step back, they obeyed the order, and it did not mean that they could pull it out, and they could not enter the city until at least after dawn.

Until then, He Jin could only wait. He can wait, and he can afford to wait. As long as he doesn't die, he will still be the leader of the world's martial arts!

Chaos has begun outside the palace, but Queen He is deaf, she is now in turmoil, the Son of Heaven is dead, she is a little sad, it is a husband and wife. The general's life and death were uncertain, and she was even more flustered. Although Queen He is the master of the harem, she has no knowledge and does not understand any national affairs, only knowing that if the general is really gone, she and her son Liu Bian will be in danger.

A hundred Yue cavalry escorted the queen and the prince to the Suzaku Gate quickly, but saw that the torches near the city gate were illuminated, and hundreds of armor soldiers lined up left and right. Chen Cheng saw it from a distance and felt that it was wrong, and then looked at the small map, and there was a large red dot that was shining, and his heart sank. It seems that he is not the only one who has made the decision, and at this time, the big guys don't have to hide it.

At a distance of sixty or seventy paces, Chen Cheng asked the soldiers to stop. As soon as the carriage stopped, Empress He woke up from her anxiety, she didn't know what was going on, and asked through the curtain, "What's wrong?" ”

The voice was cold, but the fear contained in it could still be heard.

Chen Cheng looked back, Wang Lin's little face turned white again, he smiled, and said, "Don't worry, the queen, it's nothing serious." ”

Queen He secretly gritted her teeth in the carriage, and said in her heart: "If you are empty, you have to kill this person!" ”

Chen Cheng turned around and shouted at the other side: "Zhongshu Ling, Da Changqiu, don't hide, come out, I've seen it all." ”

Zhang Rang, who was standing in the shadow of the passage, was stunned, turned his head to look at Zhao Zhong beside him, and said in surprise: "You can also see this?" ”

Zhao Zhong opened his mouth, squeezed out a smile on his face, and said, "He's tricking you." ”

"Hmph," Zhang Rang snorted coldly and said, "There are a lot of us, where are we afraid of him?" Even if he's tricking me, we're not afraid! ”

He walked out generously, and said with a smile: "Julu Hou, your hand is too long." ”

Chen Cheng saw Zhang Rang's face exposed to the firelight, and looked behind him again, only to see that there were a few powerful armor soldiers, but he didn't see Zhao Zhong, so he asked, "What about Da Changqiu?" ”

Zhang Rang's cheeks twitched, and he sneered: "Juluhou still let the queen mother go, and then tied his hands and captured it, so as not to hurt the phoenix body of the mother after a while." ”

Chen Cheng smiled and said, "What does Zhongshu Ling mean by this?" The general is out with troops, do you and I still want to kill each other? Aren't you afraid that the snipe and the clam will compete with each other and the fisherman will profit? ”
