Chapter 34: The Scarlet Night (5)

"Third child, quickly escort the third young master to rush out, and the second child and I will stop these people."

A burly man swung his horizontal knife in his hand to block the oncoming duo, and then yelled at his companion behind him.

If it was just the two people in front of him, he would naturally not be like this, but there were not only these two in front of him, but more than a dozen chaotic soldiers, except for Chen Hu, who was already scared stupidly, there were only three people left, that is, the scar man and the other two.

Originally, there were six people in this group, but the scholar surnamed Zhao had long been separated from them, and the servant and another burly servant fell on the street outside, dead and dead. Even the remaining three domestic servants were more or less wounded.

However, in the midst of his distraction, a spear stabbed the scarred man's shoulder socket.

"Big brother!"

The third child in the back looked at the injured eldest brother, and couldn't help but pick up his weapon and rush forward, but was scolded back by another servant next to him.

"Let's go! Protect the third young master! ”

The servant, known as the third child, gritted his teeth and ran towards the depths of the alley with Chen Hu, who was sitting on the side.

Seeing that the third and third young masters had left, the burly man's eyes were red, and he roared, like a wounded tiger, raising his knife to cut off the spear in front of him, and then slashed forward with a knife. After forcing back the rebels in front of him, he gritted his teeth and pulled out the spear that pierced the shoulder socket and threw it on the ground, and at this moment, a scream came.

The burly man looked back and found that his second brother had been stabbed by two spears at the same time, and after the spears were withdrawn, his second brother fell to the ground unwillingly.

"Dick!"

The burly man rushed over and helped his second brother up, but the other party spat blood from his mouth and raised his hand slightly, but he just lifted it less than an inch before he fell to the ground.

The rebels in front of them did not stop attacking because of this scene, but thinking of the bravery of this burly man, several people surrounded them together. Several spears stabbed like a storm, and the burly man stood up and picked up the horizontal knife to block left and right, using all his strength to block this wave of attacks.

But at this moment, a mace smashed like a meteor, the burly man did not react, he was hit in the chest hard, and a crisp rib breaking sound came, and then he saw the burly man fly upside down like a kite with a broken string, and then fell heavily to the ground.

The burly man spat out a mouthful of blood, and then supported the ground with his hands, trying to stand up again, but in less than a breath, the heavy body smashed to the ground again, looking at the chaotic soldiers who surrounded him, his face was full of unwillingness.

With two 'poofs', two spears stabbed the burly man in the chest, then quickly retracted. The burly man tilted his head to the side, looking at the second brother who had already stopped breathing in the distance, his eyes gradually lost their luster until they finally dissipated. He didn't expect that he would die in this unknown alley in the end after many years of crisscrossing the battlefield, and it was to protect the third young master of the second ancestor.

Looking at the loyal servant in front of him, the one-eyed man with a mace was very impressed, but the other party killed seven of his subordinates when there were few people, and four of them died at the hands of this man.

However, admiration is admiration, but the business must not be forgotten, looking at Chen Hu and the others who disappeared into the depths of the alley, he commanded loudly, "Catch up with that young man, that is the son of the Chen thief, catch him and give the military envoy a vent." ”

When he knew that Chen Hu was actually Chen Jingxuan's son, the one-eyed captain was overjoyed. His superior, Guo Qi, was forced to drink poisonous wine, and Chen Jingxuan's 'credit' was among them, so he immediately ordered to capture this Chen Hu alive. It's funny, at that time, Chen Hu still wanted to use his father's prestige to scare them, if the other party didn't reveal his identity, maybe he wouldn't have pursued these people like this. Therefore, the responsibility for these loyal servants who died on the street is still on Chen Hu's head.

"Yes!"

Just when more than a dozen rebels crossed several bodies and were about to pursue, a deafening shout of killing was heard in the distance, and a rebel ran over in a panic, "Captain, the imperial army is here, there are thousands of people." ”

"What about our people?"

"The main force has followed the military envoy to attack the palace."

"Retreat!"

Hearing the shouting of killing in the distance, Captain One-Eyed gritted his teeth.

。。。。。。

"Your Highness, I have searched the entire palace, but there is no trace of His Majesty and others, not even Gonggong Tian, Gonggong Yang and others."

A captain wearing Mingguang armor came to Li Ye, who was standing at the door of the main hall of the palace, and reported respectfully.

"Look for me carefully, look at those hidden places, and be sure to find Your Majesty." Li Ye said in a deep voice.

At this time, Li Ye was wearing silver armor, flashing cold light at night, although Li Ye was young, his height was not much worse than that of ordinary sergeants, combined with his own temperament, he was even more heroic and extraordinary. However, at this time, Li Ye's waist was not a horizontal sword, but a precious jade-headed sword, which was given to him by Li Yi, and it was matched with his silver armor at this time. Around him, dozens of personal soldiers carefully guarded the surroundings to protect Li Ye's safety.

"Yes!"

It was already two quarters of an hour after Li Ye led his army to the palace, and before he arrived at the palace, there was a fierce battle in the palace. However, by the time he arrived at the palace, the battle had ended, and there were only a small number of rebels in the palace, and the main force of the rebels was nowhere to be found.

Li Ye ordered the troops to recapture the palace on the spot and clear the remnants of the rebels, at this time there was no living rebel in the palace, and they were all killed on the spot, which also made the thousands of soldiers see Li Ye's decisiveness and ruthlessness. It's not that Li Ye is cruel, but in this case, only by killing these rebels can the others be suppressed, after all, these thousands of soldiers are just temporarily under Li Ye's command. But after Li Ye did this, he suppressed this group of unruly soldiers.

"Who?"

Behind the main hall is a large garden, rockery, pond fish, tree shade is dense, this is the harem, Li Yi and a group of concubines live in it, but at this time no one to enjoy the scenery of birds and flowers, the strong smell of blood in the air declares that it is not safe here. And just when Li Ye led the team to personally look for Li Yi's traces in the harem and passed by the rockery, there was a crisp sound of branches breaking inside.

After Li Hong's roar, the surrounding soldiers raised their weapons and surrounded the rockery in front of him.

"The people inside come out, and if they don't come out, we'll release the arrows!" Li Hong said coldly.

"Don't shoot arrows, don't kill us."

With a burst of crying, a woman in palace clothes walked out in a panic under the tight embrace of several eunuchs and palace maids.

After seeing the visitor, Li Ye couldn't help but be stunned, and then exclaimed, "Imperial sister-in-law? ”

The person in front of her is called Zhang Zhaoyi, this is not her name, but her grade in the harem. Zhaoyi is one of the nine concubines, in the concubine system of the Tang Dynasty, second only to the queen and the fourth and third concubines, and is the third rank of the harem. This person is one of the two concubines brought out by Li Yi from Chang'an, and the other person is Jieyu, surnamed Wang.

Li Yi fled from Chang'an and brought two concubines, this person is one of them, it can be seen that he is deeply favored by Li Yi, of course, this also shows that his appearance is good, otherwise Li Yi would not be able to love her so much. Even if he was surprised at this time, his face was discolored, but he had a pitiful temperament, and normal men couldn't wait to go over and take care of him in his arms when he saw it. However, she is the imperial concubine, and the people in the palace dare not make a mistake. However, Li Ye quickly swept over his body, and found that there were no signs of messy clothes, this time he breathed a sigh of relief, the rebels had occupied the palace for a time, and along the way, Li Ye also found that some palace maids or harem people committed suicide because they could not bear to be humiliated.

"Shouwang?"

Frightened and trembling all over, Zhang Junning walked out of the rockery, thinking that she might be humiliated by the rebels, and she was also hesitating whether to keep her chastity for the saint. After coming out, she was frightened and didn't dare to look up, until she heard a familiar voice, and then she raised her head and saw a familiar face. She is naturally no stranger to Li Ye, as the favorite brother of the saint, whether in Chang'an or Chengdu, he often goes in and out of the harem, and he fled from Chang'an to Chengdu together. Although Li Ye was wearing armor at this time, she still quickly recognized the other party, and some smiles suddenly appeared on her panicked face.

"Sister-in-law, what about Brother Huang? Is it with you? Li Ye was also a little surprised when he saw Zhang Zhaoyi, thinking that the other party was Li Yi's favorite concubine, he should know that Li Yi was there.

"Your Majesty, he... His Majesty had already left the palace under the protection of Gonggong Tian. ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Junning couldn't help but complain about Li Yi, when the other party fled for his life, he didn't take her with him at all, just like when Chang'an fled, the other party didn't bring other concubines. At the time, she was still gloating, and now it seems that she has followed in the footsteps of those sisters.

In fact, it was not that Li Yi didn't want to escape with the harem concubines, but because the situation was urgent at that time, Li Yi himself took care of his own life and fled, where would he have time to go to the harem with these concubines. So Li Yi fled for his life this time, and he didn't bring a single concubine with him.

"That means the royal brother is fine?" Thinking of this, Li Ye relaxed a lot, and then instructed the soldiers on the side, "Come here, protect Zhang Zhaoyi." ”

"Yes!"

Li Ye didn't ask why Zhang Zhaoyi was here, but his imperial brother ran away alone. Although he didn't know the situation at the time, he could roughly guess that he was used to saying that "brothers are like siblings, women are like clothes", which was vividly interpreted in his imperial brother. If he continued to ask, it would make the poor imperial sister-in-law in front of him even more sad, so he avoids this topic with interest.

Soon, from the mouths of the living eunuchs and palace maids in the harem, Li Ye learned the approximate whereabouts of Li Yi, and he was covered by Tian Lingzi and went to the east of the city to take refuge. Of course, if it is from the remains of the battle, Li Ye can also find that after knowing Li Yi's whereabouts, Li Ye left some people to protect and clean the palace, and he led the army along the traces of the battlefield to the east of the city.
