Chapter 432: Out of the cage
When Chen Qi's sword attacked, Zhu Zhijie was almost completely discouraged.
At that moment, she suddenly remembered what her eldest sister Zhu Zhiling said when she parted with her: People's hearts are separated from their stomachs.
No matter how much you have no quarrel with the world, you will also be involved in this court dispute.
Although Zhu Zhijie didn't understand why Chen Qi wanted to kill her, even the first time she had even seen this man's face today. But isn't that what the court dispute is all about? You never need a reason to kill.
Maybe without the protection of his mother, he is really just a small seedling that will be destroyed by wind and rain at any time, without any foundation.
Mrs. Ye lay on the ground weakly, and she could only watch the knife go back and forth, watching the bright red human blood splash on the wall of her beloved snow house.
Every table and chair in this snow house, every pair of bowls and chopsticks, was selected and put in by herself.
Occasionally, when she quarreled with her husband and was depressed, she would come here to sit down and relieve her depression.
But now, the last pure land in this Shangshu Mansion has become a killing place.
Isn't this also the cherished snow house of her husband?
In addition to recovering the country, what else does he really cherish in his heart?
She looked at her husband, and he happened to be looking at her.
The usual elegant smile seemed to say to her: "Madam, this white snow house is ......beautiful only when it is dyed with their blood."
Ye Zhiqiu's smile was only for a moment after all, and he quickly regained his coldness. He stretched out his hand and gestured forward, and suddenly, Zheng Lun, who had just disappeared, reappeared at the entrance of the house, and then a group of soldiers in armor and blades rushed in.
Cao Xiwen and Cao Feihu heard the sound and turned their heads in shock.
When Lao Cao saw the soldiers, he said in a trembling voice: "This is ...... Is this the Dragonscale Army? He hurriedly shouted, "Someone, escort me out!" I am Cao Feihu, the commander of the Dragon Scale Army! β
The soldiers didn't seem to hear, and they didn't move.
Lao Cao was anxious, untied the token on his waist and held it in his hand and shouted: "The order is here, do you dare to disobey?!" β
Chen Qi laughed and said, "Cao Feihu, how do you think the five thousand people who surrounded the southeast corner of the imperial capital came from?" Will they listen to you? β
Lao Cao suddenly came to his senses, and when he went to the camp early in the morning to transfer manpower, he happened to say that there were 5,000 soldiers who had just returned to the camp after training, so he transferred them easily. Now that I think about it, Chen Qi must have made up 5,000 of his cronies and soldiers in advance to put them there, just waiting for him to bite the bait. Their roots in the Dragon Scale Army are naturally not as deep as Chen Qi and Zheng Lun, and it is much easier for them to transfer some cronies to the dead!
Speaking of which...... The idea of this troop transfer was Ye Zhiqiu's idea, and he deliberately let himself transfer Chen Zheng and the others to the firearms battalion for inspection.
It's a play, and it sings without leakage.
Maybe it's going to be planted this time......
Lao Cao subconsciously swept through the crowd, wanting to find out the culprit who had known each other for a long time but had never known half of his true face, but Ye Zhiqiu had long been unable to know where to hide.
He could only hear Ye Zhiqiu's cold voice coming from behind the crowd: "The father and son of the Cao family intend to assassinate the prince and kidnap the crown princess, all the soldiers are quick to protect it, and the murderer must be brought to justice on the spot!" β
As soon as these words came out, Zheng Lun had already picked up the round knife and slashed at Lao Cao, and he didn't care about the crown princess in his hand at all.
Li Chongyan saw it clearly, he was shocked and angry, and he was about to stop Zheng Lun's intentions, but the soldiers had already responded in unison, and rushed forward.
His own voice has long been drowned out.
Pei Ran hid in the corner and shivered, he didn't understand what was going on, but he felt that if he stayed any longer, he was afraid that his life would not be saved, and the only exit of the entire Xuelu had become a place where blades flew and blood danced, how could he dare to go over?
He looked around and saw that there was only one low window on the other side, right next to the pond on that side. There is only one pool outside the window and there is no way out, but it is safer than staying here, right?
Ignoring the tremors on his body, he crawled to the window little by little, leaving a long string of urine stains on the floor behind him. Luckily, the window was in the opposite direction from the exit, and no one seemed to notice him.
When Cao Xiwen heard Ye Zhiqiu's words, although he couldn't fully understand it, he also knew that all this must have come from Ye Zhiqiu's hand, and immediately turned around and fought back to back with Lao Cao to defend against the enemy.
However, there are many soldiers, how can the two of them resist?
Lao Cao turned his heart sideways, pushed the princess to his son, and shouted, son, you take her away, I am blocking here!
No matter why Chen Qi and Zheng Lun want to kill themselves, or even kill the crown princess, this princess is the last hole card in their hands, and they can only try if they can deter everyone.
But Cao Xiwen didn't think like this, he suddenly took over the crown princess, and his first thought was to push her back to Li Chongyan's side. Unexpectedly, as soon as he got rid of his hand, Zheng Lun had already slashed at the front of him with a knife, and he was very resolute. He had to drag the princess back, and if he was half a minute slower, the princess would probably be split in half.
Li Chongyan said angrily: "Zheng Lun, what are you going to do? If the crown princess has three long and two short, ......"
Suddenly, Zheng Lun glanced back at him, his eyes full of fierce light.
Li Chongyan had never seen anyone dare to look at him like this, like a wild wolf looking at a lamb, and he was so shocked that he swallowed the second half of the threatening words.
At this time, Li Chongyan felt that someone behind him patted him on the shoulder, and when he turned his head, it was Ye Zhiqiu.
Ye Zhiqiu was still smiling, and said comfortingly: "Your Highness, don't worry, they will be measured." β
Zheng Lun is a military attachΓ©, and Ye Zhiqiu is a civil official.
Li Chongyan has always bullied the soft and feared the hard, he was a little stunned when he was glared at by Zheng Lun, but he roared at Ye Zhiqiu: "What kind of proportion?!" Didn't you see that his knife was about to hurt the crown princess? β
Ye Zhiqiu was not angry at all, and laughed.
"Your Highness is too worried, how can a mere Cao Feihu be able to defeat the triple dragon scale army inside and outside? Your Highness, please look over there, haven't you been caught? β
Li Chongyan was stunned, and looked in the direction pointed by Ye Zhiqiu, only to see that Lao Cao was still fighting desperately there.
"Where's the catch?" Li Chongyan was standing on tiptoe and trying to watch, when suddenly he felt a chill in his heart, as if something hard was coming in from behind.
Before Li Chongyan could understand what was happening, he had already seen a small sharp edge appear on his chest. As the cold turned to a sharp pain, the sharp edge grew larger and larger.
Li Chongyan finally saw it clearly...... It's a sharp knife for removing meat. He could even clearly feel the blade churning inside him.
"You...... You ......" Li Chongyan felt that the strength in his body was rapidly escaping from all directions, and he couldn't stand anymore, and he didn't fall down because of the person behind him holding his back.
No...... Not to hold it, but to carry it with a knife.
"You, you dare to kill me...... I'm the Prince! Li Chongyan tried to spit out a few slurred words, accompanied by a mouthful
Blood spat out.
Ye Zhiqiu approached Li Chongyan's face from behind and laughed in a low voice: "The one I want to kill is the prince." β
He laughed halfway through and sighed again: "Actually, you didn't have to die in the first place, because you are just a fake prince." β
"So you know ......"
"Of course I know, Grandpa Li can be very detailed! It's a pity...... You don't want a name that doesn't belong to you, but it's okay, at least you can die as a prince now. β
Ye Zhiqiu turned to look at the big word "cage" on the wall, his pen was strong, and the ink had not dried. He laughed out loud, "Are you still satisfied with the cage I prepared for Your Highness today?" β
laughed until he was almost exhausted, and suddenly his hand was loosened, and Li Chongyan's body immediately lost its support and fell heavily to the ground.
When the Cao father and son heard the reputation, they vaguely saw that the dagger on Li Chongyan's corpse had come out of his back, but Ye Zhiqiu stood aside and laughed silently.
Zhu Zhijie saw her husband's body lying in the house in a blink of an eye, and only exclaimed: "Reextend!" And he fainted.
Cao Xiwen died of his best friend, how could he give up, so he wanted to raise his knife to kill back, but was blocked by Lao Cao.
So far, Lao Cao has always felt that the whole thing is foggy and full of all kinds of weirdness. It was only at this time that he finally understood that it was never the prince who wanted to harm him. Although he still didn't understand why Ye Zhiqiu did this, he didn't even know who Ye Zhiqiu was.
However, the moment the prince fell to the ground, he suddenly felt as if he had a god in his mind, and his thinking was extremely clear, and he knew what to do and what not to do.
He shouted at his son, "I can't go! To go is to die! β
"I'm not afraid of death! I'm going to cut off this guy with a beast's heart! Cao Xiwen had bruised muscles on his forehead, gritting his teeth.
"Didn't you say you wanted to protect his daughter-in-law? Now that he's dead, you're going to die with his daughter-in-law with you?! β
"I ......," Cao Xiwen said for a while. Just a few hours ago, Li Chongyan was still in the garden and solemnly entrusted him with the fact that it was impossible to forget, but how could he do it if he left his father and ran away like this?
Lao Cao saw that the entrance of the house was narrow and could not squeeze a few people, he saw that his son hesitated, so he stretched out his hand and pushed him towards the mouth, and threw the dagger over, hitting the head of a soldier, and he grabbed the knife and covered it at the entrance of the house.
"Let's go, let's go!" Lao Cao's sword technique was unleashed, and he instantly cut down two more soldiers.
I can't tell how many people there are, and I don't know how many there are outside.
Leave it to fate......
Cao Xiwen stretched out his foot and kicked over an oncoming soldier, but two of them immediately made up for it.
The corridor in front of it was already full of people, and there was no possibility of escape.
"Daddy! Let's get out together. Let's go! He turned back anxiously and shouted at Lao Cao.
However, Lao Cao couldn't even have a gap to turn back, so he only turned his back to him and roared angrily: "If you don't roll again, the Cao family's incense will be broken, do you want Lao Tzu to die with you?" Fuck off! Remember, read more books in the future! Be a good person! β
Cao Xiwen burst into tears, so he had to put the unconscious princess on his shoulder and jump into the court. The courtyard was surrounded by high walls and there was no way out, and those soldiers saw that Cao Xiwen was in a dead end, and they thought they could succeed and hurriedly surrounded him. Unexpectedly, Cao Xiwen jumped up, and actually rose from the ground with the crown princess on his back, fluttering like a big bird, and flew over the wall. Only one cry remains:
"Daddy! Son is waiting for you! β
