Chapter Thirty-Six: The Sword Goes Sideways, Anyang Breaks into the Palace
Dongfang Ran came out of Sima Jing's room and went to the martial arts arena, where almost all the brothers of Qilin Hall in Beijing were gathered, and everyone was ready to go into battle to kill the enemy at any time. No one complained, no one questioned, just waited for him to give an order. Dongfang Ran looked at his brothers who had followed him for so many years, but hesitated. He ordered the people to rest for a while, and then went into the study at the back of the chamber alone, and shut himself up in the room for a whole day, without drinking a sip of water.
Today he took out ninety-nine people, but only sixty-two returned. Although no one complained about him, he felt uncomfortable. It was the brother who followed him from birth to death, and his decision today was largely due to his own selfishness, and he felt that he could not live up to his brothers.
This battle for imperial power was originally nothing to do with their Qilin Hall, but his involvement had cost so many brothers their lives, and he really couldn't decide what to do next.
They are just people in the rivers and lakes, not to mention that he also has a special mission, is such a senseless sacrifice worth it?
Who is the emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty and what does he have to do? But he really couldn't bear to watch Anyang have an accident! Her begging eyes were too much for him to ignore. But for her alone, he let so many brothers shed blood and sacrifice! How can he be worthy of his brothers who follow him and trust him!
Dongfang Ran locked himself in his room and didn't dare to go out, he was afraid that the decision he couldn't help but make would cause his brothers to die tragically.
His heart burned as if it were being burned on a fire.
He himself can ignore life and death, but he can't ignore the life and death of Qilin Hall. It has been ten years since he took charge of Kirin Hall at the age of sixteen. He led everyone to crawl and roll, coming and going in the wind and rain, and endured all the hardships to get to where he is today. If you are involved in the struggle for imperial power, it means that there is no way back. The life and death of so many people depend on his thoughts, how can he not care!
He felt that he was impulsive today, and when he watched the people around him fall one by one, his heart was dripping blood. But he couldn't see Anyang's sadness and helplessness! What to do? What to do? He has always been vigorous and resolute in his work since he can remember, and he has never been so entangled as he is today.
Reason told him he couldn't be a part of it anymore, but feelings kept him out of it. His renunciation would mean the renunciation of the An family's father and daughter. Will they be able to escape this?
Finally, at dusk, the door to the study was pushed open. It's not that no one has been here before, and they have all been kicked out by him.
The deputy hall master, Renaud, stood in front of him, "Lord, you can't wait any longer!" The rebels have attacked the city again, and it seems that the prince has been abandoned by them. ”
His voice was eager, although he knew what the hall master was struggling with, but they were all hot-blooded men, and he couldn't help but care. What does a change of dynasty mean? It means that the court is in turmoil, and the princes from all walks of life are ready to move, rebelling under the banner of killing the thieves, and the lives of the people are ruined, and the families are ruined!
Although most of them are married, they have their own small families. But if the country does not exist, where is the home?
"Lord! You're worried! Although personal life and death are important, the situation in the court is also important. Do you really want that kind of prince to ascend to the throne? Then won't this world become the world of the Liu family! ”
They have been with their master for so many years, and of course they know what they care about. Although the master is famous, he has never seen the master really care about a woman, so that he has never married a wife. Now the master cares so much about Princess Anyang, a fool can see it.
What if she is Princess Jing? As long as the master likes it, the emperor's woman will dare to snatch it back for the master.
Renault paused, "We have dealt with the brothers who died today, and their families have given each family a thousand taels, so they should have no worries." ”
Having said that, they have lost their loved ones, and they would rather their loved ones live than receive a huge amount of compensation.
Dongfang Ran still wrinkled his eyebrows.
"Now the brothers outside have also arranged for them to go home, so that their families can quickly evacuate with the money and go back to their hometowns, so the Lord does not need to worry too much! Pressed for time! Before Renault could finish his sentence, there was a sound of eager footsteps, followed by a banging on the door.
Renault glanced at Dongfang Ran and shouted, "Come in!" ”
A man in black immediately pushed the door and entered, kneeling down on one knee, "Enlighten the Lord!" Princess Anyang and the one named Mo Dongli went in the direction of the Qi Palace! ”
Dongfang Ran immediately bounced up from the sandalwood chair and walked out without saying a word. Near the door, he suddenly stopped, "Wait for my order, don't act rashly!" Renault wanted to follow, but after thinking about so many brothers outside, he still endured it and stayed, sending twenty masters to follow quietly. He knew his master's temper and didn't like anyone to follow him. Of course, Dongfang Ran knew that his brothers were quietly following, and he curled the corners of his lips, pretending not to know.
After Anyang left the back garden of Baihualou, he went straight to the palace of King Qi. She had a really hard day. She understood Dongfang Ran's evasion. They have only known each other for three months, and it is not easy for people to rescue her and Sima Jing. The struggle for imperial power is not a trivial matter, and a few of them are willing to participate! That's a catastrophe if you're not careful. Moreover, even if they succeed, they may not get any good end. Thinking of this, she didn't dare to count on Dongfang Ran anymore, and she had nothing else to ask for but gratitude. She has to solve the problem on her own.
The two of Anyang successfully escaped the rebels searching on the street and came to the palace of the king of Qi. Mo Dongli took her into the mansion and caught a servant and took them to King Qi's study. Mo Dongli silently knocked out the little guy and the guards guarding the door. What a great kung fu! An Yang was surprised. No wonder he dared to save Sima Jing alone, if this person hadn't been in prison for a long time, his body was a little indebted, I was afraid that his kung fu was not under Dongfang Burn!
King Qi really hid at home and didn't go out.
An Yang didn't let Mo Dongli go in with him, she asked him to take refuge in a safe place for the time being, and pushed open the door of the study by herself.
King Qi was sitting in front of the bookcase painting, and someone suddenly broke in and was really startled. What about his bodyguards? He subconsciously touched the hidden sword under the bookcase.
"Brother Qi is so interested, do you still have the heart to paint at this time?" She came to King Qi and glanced at his painting.
"Isn't it the same as siblings? At this time, there is still time to visit the king! The mockery was obvious.
Anyang didn't care, and glanced at his painting, a picture of a beautiful woman.
"I didn't expect His Royal Highness King Qi to love this beauty deeply!"
"Brother, don't you want to know who this king draws?"
However, a beautiful woman in a long skirt reaching the ground has not been painted, and has no facial features, but the silhouette is extremely beautiful.
"Shouldn't it be Princess Qi's sister-in-law?"
King Qi smiled but did not answer, and continued to paint. Not to mention that there are not a few untalented royal sons, a few brushes, willow eyebrows and apricot eyes, Qiong nose and cherry lips, who is not Anyang!
An Yang's face was slightly cold, "What does King Qi mean?" ”
"Hahahaha! Beauty! Who doesn't love! Princess Jing is charming and gentle, Chu Chu is moving, and she deserves this great country! ”
