Chapter 590: Peak Loop
Outside the Hot Spring Palace, Yelu Zhirang and a group of captured subordinates were all imprisoned in a camp, and the wounds on their bodies had been simply bandaged, originally according to their charges of rebellion, even the Nine Clans were not exaggerated, but Xiao Yunjin did not kill them for the time being, but still needed to keep them as witnesses for the true coup of Yelu Zong, so as to justifiably abolish his throne.
Yeluzhi let several arrows in his body, especially the arrow in his right chest, which entered the flesh a few inches, which should have injured his lungs, making him feel a hot pain in his lungs every time he breathed, and his right arm was also slashed, which was when he was about to commit suicide, he was slashed by someone, and his hands were weak so he could not die, and now he has become a prisoner.
"Who the hell betrayed Your Majesty!" Yelu Zhirang bit his heart at this time and said to himself, when they killed the Hot Spring Palace today, the palace was full of armor soldiers, and they were obviously prepared, but only a few people such as himself and Yelu Xisun knew about the coup, and the only possibility was that someone betrayed Yelu Zongzhen, and he thought of it with Yelu Zongzhen.
However, among these people in the know, almost everyone is really loyal to Yeluzong, so he can't think of anyone who betrayed them, but if he insists on saying that the person who is the most suspicious, only Yeluren is first.
This is not Yelu Zhirang's unwarranted suspicion, but there is quite a basis, among their henchmen, the only one who can't see through is Yelu Renxian, especially when he also knows that Yelu Renxian was reprimanded by Yelu Zongzhen because of his opposition to launching a coup d'état in advance, and finally sent him to Zhongjing to monitor Xiao Xiaoxian.
Although the task of monitoring Xiao Xiaoxian is also very important, in comparison, the credit for directly participating in the coup is greater, if the coup is successful, he and Yelu Xisun will be the first credit, and Yelu Renxian's credit will be smaller, so this will inevitably make Yelu Renxian dissatisfied.
What's more, Yelu Zhirang also saw Xiao Xiaoxian, who was supposed to be in Zhongjing, when he was arrested, in other words, Xiao Xiaoxian probably knew about their coup d'état a long time, so he prepared in advance, but Yelu Renxian, who monitored Xiao Xiaoxian, did not send back any news, which also strengthened his suspicions.
Just when Yelu Zhirang was thinking wildly, the sky outside also darkened, and all of their captives were tied up with flowers, although the wounds on their bodies were bandaged, but the purpose was only to make them unable to die, as for food, there was definitely no food, anyway, they would not starve to death if they didn't eat a meal.
Yelu Zhirang has long since lost the will to die at this time, after all, everyone has the instinct to survive, he wanted to commit suicide when he was captured before, and he had exhausted all his courage, although he knew that he would be killed sooner or later, but now he just wanted to live, but this time it was to affect his family.
Thinking of his family, Yelu Zhirang also thought of the sister who was far away in the Great Song Dynasty, and also thought of Li Zhang, who warned him last time, and last time it was thanks to Li Zhang's warning that their family escaped, at that time, Xiao Yunjin seemed to be crazy, and arrested the nobles related to Xiao Guanyin one by one and put them in prison, but his mother was Xiao Guanyin's own sister, if they were also in Zhongjing at that time, I am afraid that there would be death or life.
"Alas, Li Zhang's person is quite amazing, he can see the crisis of my Daliao at a glance, but unfortunately he can only save me once, but he can't save me a second time." Yelu Zhirang also sighed with emotion at this time, of course, he would never have dreamed that the reason why he fell into such a fate now was also because of Li Zhang's warning, otherwise he should be singing and celebrating with Yelu Zongzhen now, and he would definitely not fall to the point of being imprisoned.
The cranky Yeluzhi finally felt sleepy, and it was estimated that it was almost three days at this time, and he didn't know when he fell asleep in a daze, but before he slept for too long, he suddenly heard a commotion outside, and then saw someone shouting: "Meet the enemy!" Facing the ......"
Hearing this voice, Yelu Zhirang immediately opened his eyes, and the other captives in the tent were also awakened, but they were all tied up and couldn't move at all, let alone go out to check the movement outside.
However, at this time, the sound of fighting outside became clearer and clearer, and the whole camp was also in chaos, from time to time you could see soldiers running outside the camp, and there were screams of people dying in the distance, obviously a tragic battle had occurred.
"Who? Who killed at this time, could it be that His Majesty also arranged a backhand? Yelu Zhirang guessed a little stupid at this time, and immediately showed an ecstatic expression and said, if Yelu Zongzhen arranged a backhand, now take advantage of the night to kill the palace, and then control Xiao Yunjin, then they can turn defeat into victory.
Thinking of the above, Yelu Zhirang couldn't help but show an ecstatic expression, thinking that he was dead, but he didn't expect that the peak would turn around, and there would be a day to turn over. The others were equally excited, but they were also worried at the same time, after all, if the reinforcements didn't come to kill them, or if the palace guards rushed in and executed them now, then they would be happy in vain.
I have to say that Yeluzhi made them lucky, the reinforcements outside seemed to be huge, and they soon entered the camp, and even outside their tents were soldiers fighting, at this time, no one would take care of their captives, which made Yeluzhi even more excited.
After a while, I suddenly saw someone break into the tent, and when I saw them, my eyes lit up immediately, and I immediately untied them, and then someone ran out to report the news, and after a while, I saw a young man in iron armor striding in, and Yelu Zhirang was surprised when he saw the other party: "Renxian!" How are you? ”
The person who came in was Yelu Renxian, who had suspected betrayal before, but at this time, Yelu Renxian was covered in blood, and the long knife in his hand was cut off, and the whole person looked like Shura who had come out of hell.
"Where is Your Majesty?" Yelu Ren first saw that Yelu Zhirang did not talk nonsense, and immediately asked.
"I don't know, but it's likely that I will be placed under house arrest in His Majesty's bedchamber." Yelu Zhirang immediately replied that he had been imprisoned here after he was captured, and he had not seen Yelu Zongzhen, and that Yelu Zongzhen was still the emperor, so it was likely that he was still in the palace.
"Follow me to kill the palace and rescue Your Majesty!" Yeluren immediately spoke again, and walked out with a knife after speaking, although Yeluzhirang felt weak, he still forced himself out, after all, now is not the time to rest.
Yelu Zhirang, who came out of the camp, found that there were not a few people brought by Yelu Renxian, there were hundreds of people he saw around alone, and the entire camp was full of soldiers fighting, roughly estimated, Yelu Renxian was likely to bring a few thousand people, which was much stronger than the more than 200 people he worked hard to get.
"Where did you find this army?" Yeluzhi asked loudly at this time, quickly catching up with Yeluren first.
"Now is not the time to talk about this, there is a horse next to me, hurry up with me to rescue Your Majesty, I am worried that the Queen Mother will be unfavorable to Your Majesty after discovering the situation here!" At this time, Yeluren turned over and got on his horse, and then pointed to the horse next to him.
Although Yelu Zhirang was curious, he also knew that it was really important to rescue Yelu Zong now, so he stopped talking nonsense, and immediately endured the pain and got on the horse, and then followed Yelu Ren to the palace first.
It was only when Yelu Zhirang broke out of this camp that he found that the army led by Yelu Renxian was only one of them, and the other camps were also affected by the army, which made him even more surprised, it seems that Yelu Renxian also brought at least tens of thousands of troops, but they have no military power in their hands at all, so where did this army come from?
But now is not the time to ask this, the palace is at the foot of the mountain in front, they have broken through the outer camp, as long as they kill in, they can find Yelu Zongzhen, and may even capture Xiao Yunjin alive, thinking of this, Yelu Zhirang also felt that his whole body was full of strength all of a sudden, and the previous hunger, thirst and fatigue seemed to have all disappeared, and at that moment he pulled out the saber on his horse and yelled "Kill~", and then followed Yeluren to kill the palace first.
At the same time, Xiao Xiaoxian and Xiao Yunjin in the palace did not expect that someone would kill them in the middle of the night, they had already thwarted Yelu Zongzhen's coup d'état during the day, and they were also very relaxed at this time, just waiting for tomorrow to rush back to Zhongjing immediately, and then announce the abolition of the emperor, but they didn't expect that something would happen that night, which made them not have any preparation.
However, Xiao Xiaoxian is a person who has experienced a big scene after all, when he was stationed in Shangjing, he encountered the rebellion of Dayanlin that led to the siege of Shangjing, and even his wife died in the chaos, so when he learned that there were unknown enemy troops outside, he immediately gathered palace guards, and then ran to Xiao Yunjin's dormitory.
"What's going on out there?" Xiao Yunjin also asked Xiao Xiaoxian with a pale face at this time, she was also woken up in her sleep just now, and then she was also panicked, fortunately Zhao Anren was by her side, and now she is a little more relieved to see Xiao Xiaoxian.
"There is an army of unknown origin that has arrived, and the minister escorts the Queen Mother to leave here immediately!" Xiao Xiaoxian pointed to the outside of the hall at this time and said loudly, he is ready for the carriage and horses, and there are two thousand palace guards, which are enough to escort them away, as for the situation in the outside world, he doesn't know, after all, it is too dark now, and there are shouts of killing everywhere, he is worried that there will be an accident when Xiao Yunjin stays here, and it will be all over by then.
Xiao Yunjin heard that a large army had been killed, and her face showed a panicked look again, after all, no matter how arrogant she was, she was just a woman, and she felt timid in the face of the mutiny, so she immediately nodded and agreed, and then got into the carriage with the support of Zhao Anren, but at this time she did not forget to order: "Go and bring Your Majesty to leave together!" ”
"Don't worry, the queen mother has already sent someone!" Xiao Xiaoxian immediately reported, of course he would not forget Yelu Zongzhen, in fact, when he came to see Xiao Yunjin, he had already sent someone to take Yelu Zongzhen.
