Chapter 968: The Beacon Fire Years Are Long
The autumn heart is like a sea and the tide is like a tide, but there is an autumn soul that cannot be recruited!
When the leaves on the two tall laurel trees in the atrium fell between the eyebrows again, Wei Zifu, who had spent nearly thirty years in the Jianzhang Palace, was no longer the same as when he was in the world.
Although she has experienced so many waves in the past years in the palace, swords and swords, and treacherous clouds, she has long been accustomed to these, and she also looks down on the honor and disgrace of life and death. But today, when the most difficult situation comes, the sadness buried in my heart can finally not be concealed.
Not long ago, the news of Wei Qing's death had already saddened her. has not yet digested this sad news, but who knows, the disaster is not a one-way street, and then there was this rebellion set off by the relatives and nobles of the clan. And the situation took a turn for the worse, and it was out of control.
Empress Dowager Wei, whose eyes were already covered with slight wrinkles, sat on a stone bench under the laurel tree, although there were a large number of palace people and guards around her to protect her, but her heart was extremely lonely and helpless.
Once upon a time, this courtyard was filled with laughter and warmth. Suxi, Ju'er, Yunxi...... Her children are surrounded in front of her, and in the time of the four seasons, she spends her time in peace.
If God gave me a choice again, would I enter this palace again? The fallen leaves are golden and the mood is chaotic. She sighed silently as she reached out and gently brushed away a leaf that had fallen between her arms. Where to go, but I can't help myself.
Jianzhang Palace is like a last fortress, holding on to the storm. All the forces in the palace that still have the ability to fight have all retreated here. Whether it was the eunuchs, the palace maids or the guards, they waited anxiously for the last moment to come. Everyone knew in their hearts that without strong help, the end would probably not be too good for everyone.
"Ju'er doesn't know what's going on? I hope that he can reach Changle Plateau smoothly under the protection of those loyal guards. As long as he survives this period unharmed, there is still hope for everything...... There are also Suxi in Chang'an City, I hope they are not affected. ”
When she thought of her daughter, Empress Dowager Wei looked down at Yuanfeng, who was held in her arms personally, and felt a little regretful in her heart. If those rebels really rushed into the palace, I'm afraid they wouldn't let this child go. Staying here has hurt him. It's just that it's no longer conceivable, and it doesn't have the ability to send someone to protect it.
Fortunately, although Yuanfeng is not yet three years old, he seems to be very sensible. No crying, no fuss, no fear. The chaotic movement in the palace made him wake up early in the morning. At this time, he snuggled up in the arms of the queen mother and fell asleep.
In comparison, Princess Yunxi, who has not yet married, is the most frightened person in this Jianzhang Palace. Ever since she heard the news of the rebellion, she had not calmed down. At this moment, he followed his mother step by inch, as if she was still the little girl who needed to be protected at all times, trembling, lest she lose this last support.
The queen, who was sitting next to her, seemed very quiet. Under the always gentle and virtuous face, there is no trace of panic. Whether it's trying his best to hide his emotions, or really looking down on life and death. This woman, who carried the last will left by the emperor, left the impression on others before the catastrophe came, which was enough to be called a model for the empress.
"If you can't do it, it's really going to be bad like that...... The queen must not talk much. The goal of the clan nobles is the Wei clan, and it has nothing to do with you. I don't think they will be too difficult for you. ”
When she heard the queen mother's earnest advice again, the queen, who had been silent for a long time and didn't know what she was thinking, raised her head, there was a faint wry smile on the corner of her mouth, and she shook her head and said.
"Mother, don't say any more. Since the concubine is the queen of the Han Dynasty, no matter what the circumstances, she should work with the queen mother and Her Majesty with one heart and one mind to go to the difficulties together. How can he deviate from his original intention because of his own safety, stay out of the matter, endure humiliation and steal his life?! ”
Empress Dowager Wei sighed and took one of her hands, feeling a lot of guilt in her heart. Over the years, she had known very well that the emperor and empress were not in love. It's just that there are many things, and she can't say anything. But in the face of today's catastrophe, the queen's performance from beginning to end surprised her and many others. It turns out that under the queen's weak appearance, she has a very tenacious will.
"The queen mother doesn't have to worry too much. In any case, all the clans that launched the rebellion wanted was profit, and in front of the people of the world, would they dare to force each other to death? ”
Although the queen was also prepared for the worst. But she never believed that those people who also had the blood of the clan would do so badly! In the face of her relief, the Queen Mother, who had experienced countless sinister hearts, shook her head helplessly. Kind people never imagine how extreme the evil in the world can be! In the face of huge power and interests, biological father and son can still kill each other, let alone others?
"There's nothing they can't do...... Since the relatives and nobles of the clan have been ruined, they will definitely not give up if they do not achieve their goal. As a relative, the Wei clan will definitely be among them. Moreover, even this child, I'm afraid they won't let it go. ”
The queen changed color in shock. Such a cruel thing was unimaginable to her in her previous experience. She looked down at the little child who was held in the arms of the Queen Mother, although the days when she came to the palace were not long, and she was not related by blood, but thinking that he was likely to die and be brutally killed by others, her body trembled involuntarily.
"Could it be...... Would they really do such a thing? ”
"Yes...... They're coming. ”
Empress Dowager Wei softly answered the queen's panicked question. Although he had already heard the noise and the sound of swords outside the palace gate, he did not look in that direction again. She just hugged the sleeping Yuanfeng tightly and sat under the osmanthus tree, waiting for the unknown fate to come.
The gate of Jianzhang Palace is closed. In front of the empty door, Park Yongyeol, who was standing alone on the stone steps, finally opened his slightly squinted eyes. On the opposite side, many red-eyed faces that were about to pick the fruits of victory looked at him viciously.
"Kill him...... Break open the palace door! ”
Hearing the order behind him, the dozen or so dead soldiers at the front rushed over without hesitation. Killing here from Chang'an City, the knives in their hands have been stained with too much blood. Just a guard wants to get in the way, it's really overwhelming!
The figure dressed in white remained silent. In today's battle, there is no way to avoid it, and without assistance, it is impossible to escape. The only thing he could do was to firmly guard the palace gate. With one enemy and a thousand, never retreat...... Until the last drop of blood is shed.
The next moment, the sword light in front of the palace gate was like snow, and the murderous aura was vertical and horizontal. Blood splatters on fallen leaves, and life withers in autumn!
When the dead soldiers who rushed past were all turned into corpses, many clan nobles recognized that the owner of the extremely sharp knife was the guard who had been protecting the emperor all these years.
They didn't expect that this inconspicuous Korean would be so powerful. In addition to being surprised, I can't help but be even more annoyed. Liu Zezhi, the Marquis of Yingchuan, lowered his face and waved his hand to signal the people behind him to continue up. Cutting the grass and eradicating the root to control the entire Weiyang Palace is only this last step, and he will definitely not allow time to be delayed because of one person's obstruction.
Even if he didn't have to tell him, the people behind him couldn't bear it anymore. The second group of 100 people rushed up and slashed at each other, about to chop Park Yongyeol into meat sauce.
A long whistle sounded, and the Xuandao in his palm shone brightly. Park Yong-yeol, who was born far away in the East China Sea, can finally kill people without scruples. For a promise or a mission, he has been silently waiting in this deep palace for more than ten years. If today is his last task, he will do his best not to let anyone break through this palace gate.
Thus began the fierce battle in front of the Jianzhang Palace. It was an asymmetrical contest, with one man holding back thousands of rebels. The confrontation between loyalty and ambition is bound to be extremely tragic.
And at the same time, outside the Yongning Gate in the west city of Chang'an, it was also turbulent and dusty. A cavalry of about 1,000 people, covered in dust, appeared at the gate of the city.
The cavalry general of the Hosoyanagi Battalion, who was on guard duty here, was taken aback! Of course, he knew the cavalry's armor and clothing. The red robe is set against the iron armor, the red tasseled battle helmet, the long knife is in the hand, and the crossbow arrows are complete...... Moreover, what is even more conspicuous is that each cavalryman has a black veil tied to his arm.
You didn't have to wait to get closer, and that kind of iron-blooded aura came to your face, and even people like the general who had been on the battlefield of the Huns felt this terrifying aura. This is a true division of a hundred battles!
"Open the gates!"
There was a war horse that came out of the crowd like a dragon, and its owner gave a command that no one could resist.
These words with a crisp accent seem to have magical power. There was a slight freeze in the air, and then something terrible seemed to pass over the cavalry guarding the gates. When someone turns back, he will go and open the gates.
"Don't open the city! No matter who comes, follow the orders of the tiger talisman...... ”
The cavalry general turned around and scolded. It's just that before he could finish his words, he stopped abruptly. And, from now on, he no longer had the opportunity to dictate to his men. A spear was as fast as lightning, piercing his throat directly, and the burly body fell from the horse, and the armor of the man made a heavy sound. He who died on the spot can't die anymore!
All the cavalry of the Xiliu battalion guarding the gate of the city watched their general being stabbed under the horse with a shot, but none of them dared to move the knife in their hands.
The fluttering armor figure of the battle robe lightly stretched out his jade arm, withdrew the spear, and threw off the battle helmet with his hand. The long hair dyed like ink is tied up on the top of the head, and the autumn water is cut, and the eyes are cold, making people dare not look directly. She gently stroked the black veil between her arms with her hand, and a trace of sadness flashed in her eyes. The glory of this surname, thousands of miles from Yumen Pass to here, will follow into Chang'an, Han Dynasty!
"Into town!"
