Chapter 191: The decisive battle in Jiankang City
When they came out of the tunnel, the entire Jiankang City was boiling. Although the sky is not yet bright, there are too many lamp balls and torches, and the Liangzi pine has already illuminated the capital as bright as day.
The fighting in the direction of the south gate is the most intense, and you can know it by just listening to the shouts. "What now?" This time, An Yang ran out of ideas, she was more worried than anyone else, after all, the younger brother who was finally found was uncertain at the moment.
"Who will write the holy decree, I know that there are 100,000 garrisons guarding the imperial tomb thirty miles west of the northern city." Mingyue, don't look at the eldest sister Han who usually doesn't care about anything. That's because she has a straightforward and unrestrained personality, and she is still quite assertive at critical moments.
An Yang glanced at Qingchan beside her, and didn't think that she would definitely not write such a thing. No matter how capable the women are, they don't understand the imperial court's decrees and the like. There was no way to catch the ducks on the shelves, and Anyang had to go into battle in person.
The three of them came to the study of the prince's mansion, fortunately, the pen and ink here are complete, An Yang spread out the two false holy decrees in his arms and pondered for a while, then picked up the pen and finished it in one go.
Seeing that Mingyue and Qingchan's eyes lit up: "The girl actually has this hand, and even the handwriting is similar to seven points." β
"It's not forced, I don't dare to guarantee that such a holy decree can mobilize the army of Jilong Mountain." An Yang wiped the cold sweat from the corner of his forehead: "But I'm afraid tonight's battle will be a showdown." We don't have enough manpower, so we have to seek outside help. β
"Go and get the peacock and let him accompany me to transfer troops." An Yang glanced at Mingyue, she was now in her heart, and she couldn't tell where that bad premonition came from.
Mingyue's big eyes widened, when did this happen? The war outside has deteriorated until white, where to find Sima Jun?
But she didn't dare to say it, and glanced at Qingchan, who was also startled next to her, as if asking for help.
"Girl, why don't we both go with you!" Qingchan asked tentatively.
Only then did An Yang realize that she had just been a strong man, and she glanced at the two people beside her. You can't just take these treasures with you, isn't that telling people that this decree is false?
"Then we'll leave now, where should we put this?" An Yang was a little embarrassed to hold up the wooden box containing the jade seal and two false holy decrees.
Mingyue sighed: "Send it to the Yunwang Mansion, I know that Sima Jun has a secret grid." β
"Are you sure the Cloud King doesn't know that place?" Mingyue frowned and hesitated, he was so shrewd, who dared to guarantee that he didn't know.
The three of them discussed for a long time about such a thing, and the shouting and killing outside shook the sky, which made people feel impetuous. Now there is no competent person around, which is even more unbearable.
"Forget it, let's go back the way we came and send this thing back to the palace, only finding it there is the most convincing." An Yang gritted his teeth and decided to send things to the queen's bedroom.
Qingchan glanced at Mingyue: "I'll go!" Take the holy decree and send your troops. An Yang glanced at Mingyue, and Mingyue nodded.
Obviously, Mingyue trusts Qingchan very much, and Anyang is relieved. Give her the things and tell her to be careful.
But Qingchan regretted it as soon as she left Anyang on her front foot, the tunnel she walked was this one in the prince's mansion, in case there was an ambush in it, I was afraid that Qingchan would not be able to deal with it, so she quickly let Mingyue chase after her.
In this way, Anyang had no helpers by her side, and she had to find a horse in the stable of the Prince's Mansion alone. It seems that neither Liu Tianqi nor Shangguan Sheng have been to the Prince's Mansion before, and there are still so many fat and strong horses here.
She didn't want to wait for Mingyue and them to come back, time waited for no one. Maybe the blink of an eye can change the tide of battle. She withdrew her horse and left the city and went straight to the direction of the imperial tomb.
Just as she was getting closer and closer to the Imperial Tomb, she suddenly felt the sound of horses' hooves behind her from far and near. An Yang looked back nervously, and by the faint moonlight, An Yang saw a man in black galloping on a black horse.
Looking at the person and horse who were getting closer and closer to him, An Yang's heart rose to his throat. Her riding skills are not good, so she can only barely let herself fall, this person is too fast. Seeing that he was in front of him, his horse's head surpassed Anyang's, and with a pull on the reins, the horse blocked Anyang's way.
"Miss An, don't come unharmed!"
Through the bright moonlight, An Yang saw the man in front of him clearly: it was him!
An Yang's heart was even more uneasy, this person was none other than Prince Nanzhaoduan.
In fact, Anyang never asked his name, why did this guy appear here in the middle of the night?
Looking at Duanwang who was standing in front of his horse, Anyang suddenly wanted to cry, is this a disaster? actually ran into this nasty guy, but now she has no way back, so she has to squeeze out a wry smile.
"Prince Duan, why are you here on this big night?" An Yang almost bit his tongue after speaking, and actually said what was in his heart.
"Miss Ann is also here. Listen to the girl's meaning, is this not to see this king? Last time, Miss An said goodbye without saying goodbye, but this king will never forget it! β
The prince laughed. If the prince is fine, please let me go. I'm still in a hurry, sorry! An Yang didn't give him a good look, and said that he took the reins and planned to bypass him and continue on his way.
This guy smiled even more, and the banter in his eyes was obvious: "Urgent? It's not going to Jilong Mountain to move the rescuers. Those people used to obey the orders of the Liu family's father and son, but now they have all been replaced by the people of the King of Qi. Are you sure you want to move troops there? β
Duan Wang's words made Anyang shiver on a hot day, she was actually worried that those people would not obey her, not to mention that the holy decree was fake, even if it was really afraid that it might not work.
"What does the prince think?" Now that the other party knew everything, An Yang didn't want to go around the bend and stared at him with a pair of big amber eyes.
The deep and clear apricot eyes that twinkled more than the brightest stars at night made Duanwang, who was already fascinated by Anyang's pretty face, completely disarm and surrender.
"As long as the girl is willing to fulfill the dream of the king, the siege of Jiankang will be solved soon." This shameless guy really has bad intentions. An Yang glanced at her: "That may disappoint King Duan." Leave! β
An Yang said that she turned the horse's head and prepared to leave in a different direction, she didn't dare to stay here with this person for too long, she didn't know how the other party found her.
"Miss An, are you sure you want to be so ruthless? Regardless of the life and death of your family? King Duan also turned over the horse's head and came over.
"King Duan is afraid that he doesn't know that this girl can not only heal diseases, but also use poison." Looking at Duanwang who leaned over, An Yang freed up a hand and reached into his sleeve pocket.
I don't want this Duan Wang not only not to panic but actually laugh out loud, the silent night official road is already eerie, and this guy's sudden arrogant laughter is even more creepy.
An Yang's heart was pounding, she didn't know the details of the other party, but she really didn't dare to act rashly.
This guy laughed enough, and took another step beside An Yang: "This king just wants to do the girl a favor, I don't want the girl to be unappreciative, in this case, this king is also happy to be idle." Leave! Saying that, he really patted the horse and walked away.
Seeing Duanwang disappear on the way when she came, Anyang's heart was inexplicably a little lost, it was a little crazy in the dark here, and this person didn't accompany her for a while. just said such an inexplicable thing and ran away.
Looking at the black shadow that disappeared into the night, An Yang sighed slightly. had to turn the horse's head and continue to move forward, even if there was a tiger's den in Longtan in front of her, she didn't want to miss this opportunity, in case those people could be persuaded by her!
The journey of thirty miles was not too long, and Anyang soon arrived outside the barracks of the imperial garrison. She put on the veil, no longer hesitated, turned over and dismounted, and shouted: "Emergency military report!" Speed Pass. β
It was quiet outside the camp, and there was no one at the door of the closed barracks, and An Yang frowned and had to shout loudly again.
Finally, two soldiers ran over: "It's so late, who is yelling?" β
An Yang hurriedly took a few steps: "Where is General Li?" When the decree arrives, let him come out quickly to receive it! β
"Beauty, if you say that the holy decree has arrived, then General Li is afraid that he is not interested in coming. If the beauty said that she was here to accompany our general, then the master would be happy to pass on the word to the beauty. Hahaha......" The kid said and laughed wildly.
An Yang's eyes widened a little more with anger, and the little soldier couldn't laugh when he waved his hand. He clutched his neck and whimpered a few times, then fell down with a thud.
The other tall and thin man standing next to him was laughing heavily, but when he saw his companion roll down like this, he turned around and ran away in fright.
"Oh no, witch! The Enchantress is coming! The camp, which had been quiet, was immediately lit up by this roar that was sharper than a ghost cry. A small group of soldiers in armor trotted over and surrounded Anyang.
The leader shouted: "What kind of person dares to spread wild in this place!" β
An Yang hurriedly turned over and got on his horse and took out the holy decree from his arms: "The holy decree has arrived, let General Li come out quickly to receive the decree." β
This time it really worked, and soon a large group of men and horses came out of the camp, and in the middle of a tall horse sat a man with a full face and beard, I couldn't tell the specific age, but the thick eyebrows and leopard eyes looked like a fierce general.
Could such a person really be the person of King Qi? Anyang was a little unconvinced. Would a cautious person like Sima Yan hand over an army of 100,000 to someone who might have taken refuge with a certain force?
An Yang looked at the man in front of him and made a total in his heart, no matter what, it was necessary to gamble.
"General Li in front?" An Yang looked at the person who came and asked loudly.
"It's Li, I don't know who the girl is? What's the point of coming here late at night? Although the man looked rough, he spoke quite politely.
Looking at the large group of people around him in front of him, An Yang's face did not change: "An Yang, the daughter of General An!" β
When the man heard this, he quickly turned over and dismounted, kneeling on one knee: "I didn't know that Princess Jing had arrived, and I was disappointed." Li Zhong asked the princess for forgiveness. β
"General Li doesn't have to be polite, it's an extraordinary time. Now that the emperor is trapped in the courtyard of King Qi, he also asked General Li to focus on the overall situation. Take it! "An Yang has never preached the holy decree, and she doesn't know what to say.
Li Zhong paused for a moment, and did not step forward to receive the holy decree in An Yang's hand: "Princess Jing forgives her sins." Li Zhong was responsible for guarding the imperial tomb and did not dare to go against the holy will. The emperor is fine in the palace, how can Princess Jing say that the emperor is trapped in the palace of King Qi? β
He looked loyal and honest, but he didn't expect to be a difficult master. It seems that he is waiting for An Yang to come up with full evidence, and it is obvious that he is also skeptical of the holy decree.
An Yang suddenly let out a sigh of relief, looked at Li Zhong and laughed, she turned over and dismounted and came to Li Zhong. personally helped him up, this action frightened Li Zhong so much that he forgot to react for a while.
He didn't count the dignified princess Jing, and he might be the future queen, and he would suddenly reach out to help him as a third-grade military attachΓ©. He stood up in a daze, his black face was so colorful that his stubble was shaking.
"The emperor really didn't see the wrong person, General Li is indeed as good as his name, loyal and courageous and delicate. His Majesty is indeed still in the palace, and he is no longer able to govern due to illness due to overwork, and he is on the emperor's list, looking for good doctors all over the world. β
An Yang said and took off the veil on his face, revealing a beautiful face. Not only Li Zhong, but all the soldiers looked at it with straight eyes, such a beauty is worthy of King Jing, the god of war! Li Zhong couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
"I don't want King Qi to take the opportunity to make waves, and he wants to kill each other. This princess has just escaped from the secret passage in the palace, if General Li doesn't believe it, it is better to go with this concubine. β
The words "Secret Road in the Palace" shook Li Zhong to the outside, and his eyes when he looked at An Yang were not only amazing, but also a little more questionable.
Anyang struck while the iron was hot: "General Li doesn't need to be in a hurry to receive the order, you can send someone to go to the palace with the concubine to face the saint first." Of course, it would have been better if General Lee had planned to go in person. β
"Don't dare, don't dare! Li Zhong took the order. As he spoke, Li Zhong knelt down again, stretched out his hands and raised them high.
Looking at the hula labai beside him, An Yang's heart was a little calm, and he gently put the holy decree in Li Zhong's hand. At this moment, a sharp arrow roared out from the camp behind Li Zhong and went straight to the gate of Anyang.
Although An Yang knew some three-legged cat kung fu, all his thoughts were now on the fake holy decree in Li Zhong's hand, and he didn't pay attention to it at all.
Seeing that the sharp arrow was about to hit Anyang's eyebrows, a boomerang flew out of the shadows, which was worthy of shooting down the feather arrow.
Li Zhong, who was frightened into a cold sweat, quickly turned around and turned back: "Catch the assassin!" β
Although he is a soldier guarding the imperial mausoleum, it seems that this General Li usually does not slack off and relax his training. Soon, someone grabbed the person who shot the cold arrow and pressed it in front of Li Zhong.
This is the person of King Qi! Anyang said in his heart. If this person had succeeded just now, would it be Li Zhong who had committed the crime of protecting the princess. Is he going to turn to the side of King Qi in order to clear his guilt? An Yang's heart was like a deer hidden, thumping.
Fortunately, there is no danger, but who sent the boomerang? She looked around, but she couldn't see who saved her life at the critical moment. Boomerangs don't go in a straight line, and it's not easy to find out who sent them.
By the time Li Zhong had finished interrogating the man, it had already passed the time for a cup of tea, and he didn't have the heart to look at the holy decree carefully, so he directly commanded the army to set off with Anyang.
Before dawn, the rebels of King Qi were finally completely defeated. Yan Tingcheng, An Dongxu and others were also rescued. Kyoto has once again ushered in the dawn of dawn.
It was a pity that Anyang didn't come to kill the enemy, King Qi and Pang Guifei committed suicide in fear of crime, and Pang Taishi and others were escorted to the prison by Sima Jing after they were arrested.
The casualties in this fierce battle were heavy, and even Mo Dongli, who came to help later, was slightly injured.
The periphery is solved, and it is naturally easy to enter the palace through the secret passage, but what is incomprehensible is that the emperor is still missing. Sima Jing and others searched the palace for a long time but did not find the emperor and the other two underage princes.
What made Anyang anxious was that Mingyue and Qingchan didn't know where they went.
