Chapter 539: Desperate Trouble
Qinghe's expression was gloomy, thinking about it, and worried: "It's a pity that for many years, Ah Long has been a mouse taboo, and he has been constantly calculated by villains, and there has been no good opportunity to eliminate evil. Now, if Mantuo becomes a female monarch, he will put Ah Long to death. ”
Xiao Yu'er was even more anxious: "The ice snake in my father's body is highly poisonous, even if Mantuo doesn't harm him, he is in danger." Seeing that Qinghe's face was as pale as snow, he hurriedly relieved again: "Mother rest assured, Yu'er is going to the soup and fire, and she also wants to save her father." ”
Zi Yao was afraid that Xiao Yu'er would be in danger, so he hurriedly persuaded him: "Your Royal Highness can't be in a hurry, you must avoid these few days in order to wait for the best time to rescue." Only by waiting for the enemy to relax, we can make another move to get cheaper. ”
Xiao Yu'er shook her head again and again: "The situation is critical, time is running out, and the enemy will not allow us to breathe at all." ”
Qinghe was even more worried when he heard this. Looking around, in the cellar, there was no thunderbolt, no dazzling lightning, no sun, moon and stars, no bloody wind and rain, only darkness and no day, only chaos and gloom.
She was in great pain and was extremely depressed: "Dilong and Lufu, do you have any news of them?" ”
The moment she heard the words, Xiao Yu'er lowered her head, leaving only silence.
Zi Yao's expression was gloomy, and he could only whisper: "Little princess, the thieves are too ferocious, and our ability is really limited, so there has been no news of the two babies." ”
Qinghe was very sad and regretted and hurt herself: "Dilong's body is highly poisonous, and Lufu's life and death are uncertain." So far, flying in such a catastrophe, no one else is to blame, all blame Zhuo Yun! He is really confused, he does not distinguish between right and wrong, his loyalty and treachery are unknown, and he raises tigers for trouble! I'm more confused than him, so why can't I do my best? Do you have to risk your life to save your car? It's good now, our family of five is all in a desperate situation. ”
Xiao Yu'er hurriedly persuaded with kind words: "Mother, don't worry, the world is changeable, God cares about it, no matter how difficult we are, we will always see the blue sky through the clouds." ”
Qinghe shook his head with tears: "Ah Long should have listened to my advice, abandoned his official position as soon as possible, lived in seclusion in Shuling Mountain, and played in Shachenhai, even if he went to Tiankeng, he would not fall like this." ”
Xiao Yu'er was relieved again and again: "Mother rest assured, Xiao Yu'er will definitely be able to find Jun Shang and rescue his father." ”
Zi Yao was afraid that Xiao Yu'er would act rashly, and he wanted to speak several times, but finally couldn't help it: "Mrs. Long has a stunt, and he is auspicious, and he will turn evil into good fortune, and His Royal Highness must not take risks." His Royal Highness explained before leaving, 'Xishu is not what it used to be, you can't stay for a long time, the little princess's injury has improved slightly, and she must take her little highness to fight Dongwu." ’”
When Xiao Yu'er heard this, she was not surprised: "Grandma Ziyao, no matter how difficult and dangerous it is, how can my mother and I go to Soochow?" ”
Qinghe was originally feverish, his eyes were dry, and when he heard this, tears burst out of his eyes: "Aunt Ziyao has taken care of her until now, and our mother and son are grateful. This place is dangerous, so my aunt might as well go back to Wu first. ”
Zi Yao turned his face away, and two strings of crystal tears dripped down: "What did the little princess say?" My husband and wife are deeply affected by the ancestor Longen, and they have regretted not being able to protect the two princesses of Di at the beginning. Today is the liver and brain, and Zi Yao also has to protect the little princess and the little highness. ”
In the middle of the night, Qinghe was weak after the injury, could no longer support it, and fell asleep.
Xiao Yu'er performed the "Wind Splitting Skill", listened carefully, and made sure that there was no one overhead, so he quietly opened the mechanism, uncovered the bedroom floor, and jumped into the room with Zi Yao.
The two of them lay on the ground and listened to dozens of soldiers, guarding the courtyard, most of them breathing evenly and falling asleep. Only two were not asleep yet, whispering.
The little fish cautiously jumped to the window, and quietly looked out through the window lattice.
The moonlight is faint, the night is dull, and the two figures, one tall and one short, hide under the peach tree.
The tall man was handsome and heroic, and he looked familiar, and he whispered lightly: "Ah Sheng, the eldest princess concluded that Long Taifu collaborated with the enemy and treason, and assassinated the king, is there really evidence?" ”
Xiao Yu'er looked at it and immediately recognized: "Why, this guard is clearly Abin, when I was a child, my mother led me to visit the tea mountain, and Abin also coaxed me to make up for birds and catch fish." It is said that after Ah Bin's mother saved Jun back then, it was Er Abin who had been working as a guard in the palace, but for some reason, he was sent to the Dragon Mansion. ”
Another short man named Ah Sheng, Xiao Yu'er didn't know him, his face was solemn, and he said softly: "Ah Bin, is there any evidence, how do I know?" All I know is that sickness comes from the mouth, and evil comes out of the mouth. In the final analysis, we are just small soldiers, and we don't understand how the big people govern the government, and we don't need to ask. You know, the water is so deep that you don't know how many people have drowned. ”
A Bin looked sad and indignant: "Ah Sheng, I want to ask, are you from Shu?" Someone framed our god of war, why don't you ask? ”
Ah Sheng shook his head again and again: "I have played with you since I was a child, my father and mother, my wife and my parents, it is better for me to be close to you." That's why I poured my heart and lungs out to advise you. We are just a little guard, just eat in small bites, speak quietly, and do things carefully, and don't think about the motives of collaborating with the enemy and treason, let alone discussing the evidence of assassinating the king. ”
Ah Bin was very angry when he heard this, and his voice raised an octave: "Ah Sheng, you touch your chest, do you have a conscience?" You touch your head, is the blood there? If there is no Dragon Taifu, can Shu have now? Don't talk about Shu, it's you and me, whether you can live in the world or not, you have to say another story. ”
Ah Sheng hurriedly whispered to persuade: "Ah Bin, let's talk about ourselves, what are you doing in a hurry?" Wake up a dozen of them over there, report to the top, do we want our two little lives? Now up and down the Shu Kingdom, the grass and trees are all soldiers, among them, who knows which is which henchman? ”
Ah Bin lowered his octave and said indignantly: "I'm just angry, I'm just aggrieved!" Mrs. Long loves the people like a son and loves the country like a family, but she was actually put in shackles and put in prison! ”
Ah Sheng felt compassion and comforted him: "Ah Bin, it's not about you, why bother to be aggrieved?" It's grievances, where can we get our turn? I'd like to ask, have you thought about it? Where are the kings and queens, the princes and princes, the 'Shennong Four Sages', and countless iron-clad ministers? ”
Abin was indignant: "Nonsense! I've been squatting in the Dragon Mansion, and I'm not allowed to go out of the door, how can I watch you? How do you meet the prince? If I had seen it, I would have sued the royal court a long time ago, and put these traitors who were afraid that the world would not be chaotic in the class room, and they would still be persecuted here? Suffering from this evil spirit? ”
Ah Sheng scoffed: "Sue the royal court? Off-duty room? Joke! Don't be cowardly, your head is full of mush! In my opinion, you are bold and bold, but you are actually more stupid than me! I was in the palace two days ago, and I was able to save my life because I was careful and kept my mouth firm. Even so, wasn't he sent out of the palace? I don't talk nonsense, but I know what I know. ”
Ah Bin was shocked, and asked urgently: "Ah Sheng, what do you know?" Tell me about it. ”
Ah Sheng grinned: "You just let me touch my chest, do you have a conscience?" Touching the head, the blood is not there, why don't they scold so quickly? ”
Abin hurriedly said: "I am in a hurry, you and I are brothers, and we have lived and died for 20 years, what are we hypocritical?" If you have something to say, if you have a fart, let it go! ”
Ah Sheng rolled his eyes: "Look at you!" That is, I, can endure your stinky temper! That's it, you are also my confidant, without you, who will I talk to? According to my guess, there is a big mystery in this matter, that is, the king, the queen, the prince, the prince, the 'four sages of Shennong', are either imprisoned or grounded. ”
Abin was incredulous: "What did you say? How dare she behave like that? Who gave her guts? Why is she? She doesn't want to live anymore? ”
Ah Sheng was angry: "Gotta get it!" Here you go again! I don't think it's you who don't want to live! You snap your toes and do the math! In the Shuyu Palace, the king and the queen were poisoned and unconscious, and the prince and prince were confined and confined to their feet; Above the court, the first assistant of the cabinet unfortunately died and died; Long Taifu has been convicted and is about to be killed; The iron-clad ministers were all strangled; Civilian officials did not dare to breathe; Fortunately, there are a few generals left in power, all of whom are in the border camp, and the news is blocked, not to mention that far water can't quench the thirst of the near. Think about it, for a moment and a half, who can be bigger than her? Who can control her? It is really the king of the sky, the second king of the earth, and the third king. Abin, let me warn you again, you can go against the sky and the earth, but you must not go against power and against her. ”
Ah Bin was full of resentment: "I don't believe it, she is just a woman, and she can defy the sky?" ”
Ah Feng disagreed: "Who said that she is just a woman, there are thousands of supporters behind her?" In my opinion, in addition to the counterattack of the old clan, she also colluded with foreign snobbery and was embarrassed. ”
Ah Bin was indignant: "So far, I only care about Mrs. Long, he is righteous and thin, for the country and the people, how can he say that he will kill?" ”
Ah Sheng was also hateful: "You don't know those traitors? He is best at cutting and killing, cutting grass and eradicating roots. It's cheap to kill heads, I just said it, Ling Chi! Do you know what Ling Chi is? This kind of punishment has long been abolished in Shu, and they actually dug three feet into the ground and put it on the table. It was three hundred and sixty knives, cutting and destroying, gouging out the tongue and eyes, cutting the milk and removing the strands, chopping the shoulders and chopping the hands, chopping the feet and chopping the feet, peeling the skin and cramping ......, and cutting the fish scales finely ......, until the last knife pierced the heart, and the head was shown to the public. Jackals, beasts, demons, and ghosts will not be so cruel. ”
Ah Bin almost went crazy when he heard this: "What about Dayuan Mansion? Isn't it said that the mirror has always hung high? What about Mingxia Mansion Yin? Doesn't it mean that they have always enforced the law impartially? What do you do now? Also started to do nonsense? ”
Ah Sheng shook again and again: "Ming Xia? Hanging high? Impartial law enforcement? Because of his meritorious service in his early years, he was deeply favored by the king. However, who would have known that Ming Xia was really a villain? In the past, I was also kept in the dark by him, only as if he was following his father and mother, like a brother, selfless, fair and honest. In fact, 'it is difficult to draw people and tigers, and it is difficult to draw bones, and knowing people and faces but not hearts' is clearly a white-eyed wolf who eats people and does not spit out bones. Now Mingxia has made great efforts to help the people, and they are rising step by step. I have heard privately that those who continue to speak up in the court have been beheaded by Ming Xia, and several of them have even been wiped out of the Nine Clans. ”
Ah Bin was shocked: "I really can't think of it! Zhuo Xing is vicious, Ming Xia is also such a person? The more I thought about it, the more unpleasant it became: "I'll just say, where did she get such skills?" Covering the sky with one hand? Turning clouds and rain? It turned out that they were embarrassed and colluded! ”
Ah Sheng sighed softly: "Ah Bin, don't you know, not only the old family, not only the new nobles, but also the support of foreign thieves and thieves behind her." Now, the mountain rain of Shuyu Palace is about to come and the wind is full of buildings, and those who used to serve the king left and right were not killed, so they were changed to the outer city to obey orders. Don't say that the Shu Jade Palace, it is the seventeen city gates of the edge city, which have been opened and closed according to the state of war readiness. What's more, within three days, not to mention the Yuancheng Prison Gate General, the City Gate Lang, and even the twenty-four Jingwei commanders have all been replaced by her. ”
Abin was furious: "What about Brother Zhuoqiao? That's all the kind of shogun! Seeing the tragic death of his father, he still tolerated adultery and acted like a stream? ”
Ah Sheng shook his head again and again: "Who is the traitor and who is the evil?" You have the final say? I have the final say? What's more, she is in power, who is the biggest beneficiary? Not her children yet? ”
Ah Bin lowered his head and pondered for a moment, and suddenly said: "In any case, Taifu Long saved our lives, and we can't watch him die unjustly!" ”
Ah Sheng grabbed Ah Bin: "Don't be impulsive!" Think about it, even the Dragon Taifu, the Curtain King, and the Jia King all ended up like this, let alone you and me? If you think about it again, she, Zhuo Xing, and Ming Xia have great abilities, do they really dare to act like this? In fact, I don't know how many helpers they have behind them? Is it just calling for wind and rain and sprinkling into soldiers? ”
Ah Bin almost couldn't hold back: "A femme fatale!" Two jackal butchers! ”
Ah Sheng was shocked when he heard this: "Silence! These are just my guesses, and now no one can tell the truth, let alone delve into it. Abin, I advise you to live in peace! Otherwise, my head will fall off, and I don't know how to lose it. ”
Xiao Yu'er heard that her father was about to be Ling Chi, like five thunderbolts, only to feel that her qi and blood were surging, and she finally found her breath for a long time, and said in a low voice: "Grandma Yao, let's go to the prison of Dayuan Mansion first." ”
Zi Yao's face was solemn, he hesitated for a while, and finally nodded: "So far, this is the only way to go." ”
The two of them cautiously jumped out of the back window, silently flew up the wall, and left the mansion.
The night is already deep, and in the streets and alleys, there are still many swords and guns, and the armor is distinct.
The two of them flew up the wall, avoided the armor soldiers, and ran all the way.
Walking to the dark corner, Xiao Yu'er whispered: "Grandma Ziyao, there are four prisons in Yuancheng, namely Sikong Prison, Ruolu Prison, Yeting Prison, and Shanglin Prison, which respectively hold members of the royal family, high-ranking officials, female prisoners, officials and ordinary people. ”
Zi Yao asked lightly: "In this way, Mrs. Long is being imprisoned in Ruolu Prison?" ”
Xiao Yu'er nodded lightly: "According to my inquiry yesterday, it is true." "Don't dare to slack off, and lead Zi Yao straight to Ruolu Prison on the west side of Dayuan Mansion.
Groups of ironclad cavalry patrolled back and forth, all holding torches high, stealing fierce and brave, and the military was extremely powerful.
The two of them were silent, flying quickly, avoiding the heavy soldiers, running to the entrance of the Dayuan Mansion, finding a secluded place, and jumping into it. Bypassed the prison door and quietly entered the passage.
As soon as I entered the prison gate, I saw dozens of guards, divided into two compartments, with knives and guns in hand, heavily guarded, shining, and air-conditioned.
The two of them hid their figures, flew into the room, and turned four roads one after another, and in front of them was a three-foot-wide alley, with several rows of prison cells, arranged on both sides.
The roof ran quietly, and Xiao Yu'er whispered to Zi Yao: "Grandma, these rows of cells are low, and my father must not be here." At the end of the north section, the prison cell is tall and heavily armed, and it is the inner prison house, which is specially used to hold serious offenders in the imperial court, and maybe my father is here. ”
The two of them went to the inner prison, but it was a courtyard shape, with heavy security on the east, west and south sides, and two windowless cave-type prison houses on the north side, with stone houses and stone walls, which were solid.
Looking at this courtyard again, not to mention the inside of the prison, that is, the outside, it is all bright pine and brightly lit; The sword light and sword shadow, the gun forest and the arrow tree, are extraordinarily dazzling.
The two of them lay on the roof, listened attentively, and did not dare to move.
Zi Yao had an idea, and whispered: "Your Highness, don't move in place, wait for me." Before he finished speaking, he jumped off the eaves with a smart body. After a while, he flew up again, and there were two more guards in his hands, both of whom were wilting and drooping, unable to move their hands and feet, and unable to make a sound, obviously being pointed at the acupoints.
Zi Yao took off the jailer's coat and handed it to Xiao Yu'er, and said in a low voice: "Let's get in, and we just found out that the inner prison's password today is 'no mercy'." ”
The two quickly changed their clothes, passed the checkpoint, flew up to the left prison cell, uncovered the roof tiles, poked open the ceiling, and quietly looked inside.
Two people in the prison, one under the stairs, wearing shackles and locks, with an angry face; A man is a master, dressed in brocade robes, and proud of the spring breeze.
Xiao Yu'er was taken aback: "The people inside are not their fathers, one is Ming Xia and the other is Chuan Zong." ”
Ming Xia was three points cautious, and seven points proud: "Brother Chuan, have you thought about it?" As long as the elder brother agrees to give up his brother, not only will he be reinstated immediately, but he will be promoted to three levels in a row in the future, and he will no longer have to be locked up here and suffer all the grievances. ”
Chuan Zong looked at Ming Xia and was heartbroken: "Brother Xia, your words and deeds really make me unbelievable. I just ask you, is this treachery out of the heart, or is there a reason? ”
Ming Xia sneered, and the oil and salt did not enter: "Brother Chuan, you watched me grow up, I have always been a wise person who does not speak dark words, how can I go against my heart and pretend to be a fraud?" ”
Chuan Zong looked puzzled, and sighed: "Brother Xia, I am not only inseparable from your parents, but also friends with your brother Lingchun are friends of life and death, and he personally entrusted you to me before his death, I dare not forget each other." Over the years, I have never seen you, and I have always treated you like a brother. But I don't understand, the king is very kind to you, and the shogunate has entrusted you with important tasks, why did you rebel against the king and murder loyal ministers? Not only that, but also aided in the abuse and killed good generals? Isn't that a big reversal? Isn't this the extinction of nature? ”
Ming Xia slowly paced two steps forward, and looked deeply at Chuan Zong: "It's a pity, it's a pity!" Thanks to you being like a brother to me, you have worked together for 20 years, and you don't know me 11th! Brother Chuan, to tell you the truth, I am Wen Taowu and is not inferior to others, but I am just a four-grade mansion Yin! How unfair? How ridiculous? It's just that eighteen years ago, I was angry and reprimanded the dragon demon, and since then, he has been eager to repay me, so that I was born with talent and nowhere to repay! ”
