Chapter 61 Decision
Yu Wenming stood in the open space and commanded the various units of the Anzhou Army under his command to control the palace, because he had been attacked by the Assassins in the previous succession, he decided not to risk his life until the situation was clear, and the place where he was located was a hundred steps away, there was not a single temple, tower, or tree, so the Assassins could not approach it.
The palace is full of flowers and trees, and although the army enters the palace, it may not be able to search every corner in time, and now he has stabilized his position and returned to the palace, so he has to beware of assassins, and there is no need to go to Emperor Liang and Xiao Yue to settle accounts in person.
"This official repeats, unless you meet a recalcitrant one, you are not allowed to kill indiscriminately, you are not allowed to rob, you are not allowed to rape or adultery, you are not allowed to plunder!" What Yu Wenming is worried about now is military discipline, although the two sides tear their faces, no matter how angry they are, they must be measured.
Even if Xiao Yue is dealt with, Liang Guo's signboard still has to be kept, since he wants to keep this signboard, the scene can't be too ugly, otherwise it is better to do things absolutely, Yu Wenming knows his father's arrangement, so no matter how unwilling he is, he must take care of the overall situation.
When he entered the palace, he heard from the forbidden army that not long after his party left the palace, a group of people shouted the name of the Anzhou army and fought in the bamboo forest hall.
'How did they get into the palace?' Yu Wenming was a little strange, according to the information received sporadically, this group of people did not attack the gate of the palace, but suddenly appeared in the palace, and when they were puzzled, the general who had been sent to Zhulintang to 'invite' Emperor Xiao Yue to see him actually returned, accompanied by an acquaintance.
"Erlang? How did you end up in the palace? Yu Wenming greeted him and asked, seeing that half of his brother's doubts were missing, but the other half was still foggy.
Yuwen Wen was relieved when he saw that his brother was safe and sound, and he was afraid that his brother would encounter an accident halfway after escaping from the palace. The mastermind of this mutiny can plan this game of chess under the nose of the Anzhou army, and there must be more than one ambush in the back.
My brother is fine, and that is much easier. Yu Wenwen didn't have time to talk about 'brotherhood', so he quickly briefly explained the ins and outs of the matter: he escaped assassination in the barracks. Knowing that his brother who was attending a banquet in the palace was also in danger, he led his troops into the city to attack the palace, and halfway was led by someone to sneak into the palace from the tunnel.
When he rushed into the Zhulin Hall but did not see his brother's whereabouts, Xiao Yan, the king of Anping, intended to kidnap Xiao Yue and fled for Xiao Yan, and the mastermind behind the scenes, Honglu Temple Qing Liuzhuang escaped from the palace when he saw that he could not do anything, and the Zhulin Hall was now controlled by his subordinates and the Liang Emperor Xiao Yue was safe and sound.
"Emperor Liang didn't know that King Anping launched a mutiny and was left behind by Liuzhuang Huangque?" Yu Wenming was dumbfounded when he heard this, and the question that he had been puzzled about now had an answer: Xiao Yan, the king of Anping, intended to drive out the Anzhou army and let Liang Guo profit between all parties, but was used by Liuzhuang, a 'pro-Yang faction'.
"The good hand hired by King Anping originally laid a secret stake for Liuzhuang, and when he saw that something was wrong, he broke out in the hall to kidnap Emperor Liang and fled, and King Anping took action to prevent him from being killed." Yu Wenwen probably said the ending of Xiao Yan, the king of Anping.
Yu Wenming listened to the silence for a moment and made a decision: since Emperor Xiao Yue of Liang was not the mastermind behind this mutiny, then he also had more room for maneuver, and the top priority was to control the palace and Jiangling City to avoid the remnants of the party from causing another turmoil. As long as you control the gates of Gangneung City, you can catch turtles in an urn tomorrow.
"What does Jiro mean?" He had a rough disposal plan in his heart, but he still wanted to hear his brother's opinion, Yu Wenwen only said that everything was decided by his brother, but if he wanted to continue to maintain 'good neighborliness and friendship' with Liang Guo, then he still had to give face.
"Erlang is talking about the King of Anping?" Yu Wenming thoughtfully.
"Please take a long-term view, brother." ……
To the east of Gangneung, several masked men were lying on the roof of a private house and looking with bated breath at a small courtyard not far in front of them, where many soldiers were leaning against the corner of the wall, neither napping nor talking, but sitting quietly on the ground.
There were also many soldiers sitting in the dark shadows in the corners of the courtyard outside the courtyard, and ordinary people would not have noticed that there were people in the shadows if they had not passed nearby.
"These soldiers are kind of interesting." One of the masked men whispered, and the others remained silent, just looking around for anyone to spot them.
"I've been waiting on the side of the street for a long time and haven't seen it, I never thought that Yuwen Wen had actually gotten into this small courtyard, could it be that there is some tunnel leading to the palace?" Another masked man muttered to himself, who seemed to be the leader of the group.
"Boss, what now?"
"Withdraw, if you let that guy into the palace, I'm afraid that something bad will happen to Liu Honglu's side. Let's meet as agreed. ”
"Meow~~~" A masked man suddenly learned to meow, and there was just movement in the small courtyard in the distance, and he calmed down immediately after hearing the sound.
"These soldiers. It's kind of interesting. The masked men looked back before leaving, and they walked quietly and briskly from one house to the roof of the houses, as light and nimble as cats, and then disappeared into the night after a moment.
However, Gangneung City was not calm, Xicheng began to be noisy, and many torches were lit up and converged into fire dragons from Xicheng to swim to the main streets of the city, which was the Anju army stationed in Xicheng, which was also a response to the chaos in the palace.
"Don't go out for the people of Gangneung! We are soldiers of the Anzhou Army who were ordered to arrest the rebels, and those who walked on the streets were killed! ”
Similar shouts rang out all over the city, with teams of soldiers patrolling with weapons and torches, doors and windows closed to every house, and not even the watchdogs barking at the sound at night.
From time to time, the sound of fighting sounded somewhere, but it was soon drowned out by the sound of horses' hooves, and the cavalry of the Anzhou army ran rampant through the streets with impunity, running over all the non-own personnel directly.
Gangneung, sleepless tonight......
In the palace, in the small mountain stone cave next to Linshuizhai, several soldiers were vigilantly looking at the entrance of the cave without letting go of a trace of wind and grass, and in an open area in the cave, Miss Xiao sat on a big stone covered with cloth clothes in a daze.
Zhang Yu sat on the side in horror and looked at her from time to time, seeing that the other party had been silent since he came in, his eyes were blank, he was afraid that he couldn't think about it, he wanted to die or live, Lang Lord Yuwen Wen Qian told him to take care of Miss Xiao, so there must be no accidents.
"Girl, relax, Ling Zun will be fine." Zhang Yu is not very good at saying flattering words, he usually comes into contact with fighting men, one or two are very rough-hearted, like the one in front of him who said something wrong, his eyes are red.
Miss Xiao just nodded when she heard this, and then continued to be silent. This scene has been repeated several times, even Zhang Yu finds it boring, and he can't think of any topics that can make the other party happy.
If only Fifteen were here. Zhang Yu, who was sitting on pins and needles, thought. Yuwen has a flamboyant tongue for fifteen days, and if he talks about his skills, I am afraid that only Lord Lang can overpower him. The housewife and the side lady were sometimes unhappy, and the servants did not dare to say anything, but Yuwen 15 dared to respond and resolve the embarrassing scene.
But Zhang Yu is not envious, because Yuwen Fifteen is too good at saying or so this time Lord Lang drove him back to Anlu to deliver the letter, and he wanted to face the master mother and Mrs. Fang to explain some of the 'interesting stories' of Lord Lang in Jiangling, that scene was too beautiful Zhang Yu didn't dare to think.
"Commanding the Army." There was a faint sound of talking at the entrance of the cave, and then a few figures approached with footsteps, and Zhang Yu fixed his eyes and saw that it was Lang Lord Yuwenwen.
"General, how is Aye Aye?" Miss Xiao stood up as if she had seen a savior and asked, and when she heard Yu Wenwen say that Ling Zun was fine, she covered her mouth with her hands and almost cried with joy.
"There are traitors who try to take advantage of the official banquet to poison the king, but fortunately, there are loyal people who fight to protect it. Now that the traitor is dead, the henchmen are tied up, and there is nothing to do in the palace. ”
Yu Wenwen said to everyone present, and everyone was relieved when they heard the words.
They were guarding the exit of the tunnel in this hole, listening to the movement outside and not being able to support, they were really restless, not because they were afraid that the unified army would have three strengths and two shortcomings, but because they hated themselves for not having a chance to kill the enemy, but now that the traitors in the palace have been captured, it was not in vain to toss for a night.
Zheng Tong followed Yu Wenwen and glanced at the two, and then said with a dry cough that there were too many people here, so he panicked, he went out first to breathe, and saw him walking out of the cave, and came back to his senses, and followed out, and there was a tendon that stood in place, and then was also pulled away.
Seeing that all the things in the way had 'disappeared', Yu Wenwen also coughed dryly and asked, "Your Royal Highness the Princess, when the palace is quiet in a while, the foreign minister will escort Her Royal Highness back to the palace." ”
"Back to the palace?" Miss Xiao was stunned when she heard this, and then she was gloomy, she felt that she had just entered the palace and recognized Aya a few days ago, but there was a big mess, and she became more and more convinced that she was 'ominous', this time Aya was fine, but I don't know when something will happen again.
Besides, not only Aya, but also his younger brother Thirteen Officials also had an accident, and Ah Niang didn't have an accident before, but she can't guarantee that she will have an accident in the future. She has just 'killed' her uncle, who has raised her for more than ten years, and now she obviously wants to 'kill her parents' again, and she already wants to cry without tears.
"I can't go back," she muttered, her eyes began to turn red again, and after a while, she looked up at Yu Wenwen with a pleading look on her face and said, "General, take me out of the palace."
"Think about it. Why did the girl's parents, who were so easy to see, want to be separated in the palace? Yu Wenwen blurted out a 'good' word, or to cover it up, he just had 'ideas' for Miss Xiao, so he would no longer slap his swollen face and become fat, but when he saw the other party's disillusioned eyes, he still put away his thoughts.
'There is no love in life, is this going to be short-sighted? His heart was a little heavy, looking at Miss Xiao like a poor woman in a nunnery who was about to shave off three thousand troubles and become a monk, it was said that she should be comforted by her parents at this time, but the other party was afraid that she would 'swear to death' in this situation.
Thinking of her always saying that whoever dies is estimated to have a heart knot, this heart knot is not removed for a day, and it is not safe for a day, because a person who wants to die cannot be saved, Yuwen Wen pondered for a moment and was anxious: "That is the case, the foreign minister has the courage to take His Royal Highness out of the palace first, and find a temple in a few days to go to the incense and ask the Buddha to bless the safety of his parents." ”
"Shangxiang" Miss Xiao's eyes finally recovered some of her brilliance, nodded silently, Yuwen Wen saw that her mood had stabilized, so he summoned Zhang Yu to prepare to take Miss Xiao out of the palace in disguise, that tunnel was dark, damp and aggrieved, not suitable for this unstable Miss Xiao to pass, in case she was suppressed to the point of insanity, it would be too late to regret it.
"Thank you, General." Miss Xiao bowed, Yuwenwen said that it was inconvenient to arrange accommodation for women in the army, but he had rented a courtyard at the east gate of the city for a couple to live in, and there was no need to worry about someone taking care of him for a few days.
"Girl, do you know which temple in Gangneung City is effective?" He tried to talk about a new topic, but Yu Wenwen in the Jiangling Realm only knew about a dilapidated loquat temple, and the other Buddhist Pure Lands were dark-eyed.
Yuwen Wen didn't say anything when he saw that the other party shook his head, but he secretly reminded himself in his heart: No matter which family it is, when I go to the temple to offer incense, I will personally accompany me to it, so as not to accidentally shave the ordination of any apprentice and become a monk!
