Chapter 299: Things Have Changed (2)

"Your commander is really big enough, when are you going to let the old man wait?"

Zhu Yanhai was dressed in a bright red straight crane court uniform, with several guards of the Southern Army of the Inner Court wearing golden armor behind him, standing proudly in front of the door of the Northern Army Prison, with his hands behind him, gently pinching a roll of yellow silk.

The two Northern Army guards at the door glanced at each other, and then one of them stood up and replied, "Please Lord Shangshu later, Captain Liu has already gone in to pass the ceremony." ”

"Could it be that Commander Liu plans to let King Yong wait until dark in the main hall!"

Zhu Yanhai was obviously very dissatisfied with the guard's reply that was the same as the half-burnt incense before, and waved his hand behind him a little angrily, "You guys, go in and get people directly!" ”

"Yes!"

Everyone in the Forbidden City knows that every time the guards in the Southern Army who belong to the inner court take people, it basically represents the emperor's intentions, even if they have no reason, they can't stop them, stop them, and the crime is the same as intercepting the emperor's holy drive, and everyone is thinking clearly in their hearts.

In addition, it was the official who led the team, so the two guards stood on both sides like quails, watching Zhu Yanhai order the two teams of guards to rush in, and they didn't even dare to say a word.

"It's really busy with official business, and the next official greets Lord Zhu."

Seeing that the guards were about to rush to the prison in three or two steps, Liu Biao finally couldn't help but walk out, with a smiling face, walking towards this side from a distance, and politely towards Zhu Yanhai.

said that Liu Biao finally couldn't help it, because when Zhu Yanhai let people in for the first time, Liu Biao had already come out of it.

But he didn't show up, thinking that he would take some time out of the people he had just sent to Zhufu.

It wasn't until Zhu Yanhai couldn't sit still and was about to send someone to break in that he jumped out of it and stopped the inner court guard who wanted to go to the prison, and then turned his head to the guard next to him with a pretended anger on his face and said, "You guys are really getting more and more disagreeable, why didn't Lord Zhu tell me as soon as he came?" After making Take-sama wait for so long, did you eat the sin? ”

I don't know if Liu Biao's style is too much of an axe in front of Zhu Yanhai, or if Zhu Yanhai didn't plan to take his stubble at all, he just showed the yellow silk on his back in front of his hand with an old face, and said loudly:

"Feng, King Yong's decree to interrogate Lu Chun, the former eunuch of the inner court, and instruct the Northern Army to command Liu Biao to escort the important criminals."

After finishing speaking, he glanced at Liu Biao expressionlessly, "General Liu, let's do an errand." ”

Hearing this, Liu Biao chuckled in his heart,

He originally sent someone to Zhufu to meet Zhu Qingyi in the prison or to Zhufu after Zhu Yanhai left, but he didn't expect that King Yong's edict instructed him to personally escort Xiao Luzi.

Xiao Luzi, how big of a pomp is this, to be escorted by a second-grade official department Shangshu and a third-grade commander of the Northern Army in person?

An ominous premonition, like a dense cloud, began to envelop his heart.

"General Liu, what are you waiting for? Won't you be waiting...... The people of Takefu, right? ”

When Zhu Yanhai said this, his eyes were full of gloom, and the corners of Liu Biao's mouth twitched unnaturally,

"Take-sama...... What did Lord Zhu say, Lord Zhu was talking about it later, and the lower official went to bring it up. ”

...............

Takefu

The guard sent out by Liu Biao ran wildly all the way, but as soon as he approached the small bamboo forest outside the Bamboo Mansion, he had to stop and hide in.

He saw from afar that the same teams of inner court guards in golden armor had surrounded the bamboo mansion like an iron bucket, the door in front of the main gate was closed, and the three armor soldiers of the Southern Army were smashing the mottled mahogany door with all their strength, and behind them were two people dressed like young generals on horses, carrying steel guns upside down, staring at every move at the gate of the mansion.

"Bang bang!"

"King Yong has an order, please ask Lord Zhu Zongchen to go to the main hall to ask, open the door quickly!"

"Bang bang!"

Even after smashing it a few times, there was no movement at all, and the three armorers turned around and shook their heads at the two young generals on the horse,

The two young generals looked at the posture and estimated that it would not be easy to wait for the people inside to open the door, so they gently tilted their heads towards the three of them.

"Smash!"

After speaking, the three armor soldiers waved to the men and horses who had been waiting on both sides, and the three or five soldiers carried up the thick and strong "attack mallets".

This kind of "attack hammer" is the name within the Southern Army, compared to the attack hammer on the real battlefield, it is smaller than one model,

In fact, it is a thick and long wooden pile, narrow in front and wide in the back, the narrow place in front is specially wrapped with a layer of iron sheet, and the wide position in the back is equipped with several handles on both sides of the stake.

The soldiers who came over grabbed such a handle and pressed together towards the gate of the bamboo mansion, so that the head of the wooden stake wrapped in iron sheet in the front slammed into the door latch behind the door of the ordinary people's mansion.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! ”

Not to mention that there are a few cracks in the thin and soft walls of the courtyard wall that connect the mansion gate, even the three members of the Zhu Zongchen family sitting in the inner hall can clearly feel the vibration under their feet.

"Dad, they ...... They're starting to bang on the door! ”

Compared with his father Zhu Zongchen and his sister Zhu Qingyi, Zhu Jiyun seemed very uneasy, holding the copy of "Mencius" in his hand tightly, and looked at his sister and father opposite him with some panic.

"Dad, I'll go out to deal with it, you take your brother through the back door and go to Shanxi." When Zhu Qingyi sat on her own Taishi chair, her slender legs looked very dignified, if you put aside that sad face.

"Nonsense!"

"Do you have any other way? In addition to using your martial arts to take your younger brother out of the city, if our sister and brother go out of this mansion, it will be a dead end! ”

Of course, Zhu Zongchen would not be willing to let his daughter stay here, but Zhu Qingyi seemed to have expected his father's attitude, and Zhu Zongchen was speechless when he said a word.

Yes, although Zhu Zongchen gathered all the wrinkles and ravines on his face, he couldn't come up with a better idea than what his daughter said at the moment.

"No way!"

Zhu Zongchen stood up suddenly, took two steps back with his hands behind him, rejected his daughter's proposal quite unreasonably, hesitated for a while, and said, "I'll take you sisters and brothers out together!" ”

"Daddy!"

Zhu Qingyi frowned and looked at her father, in her impression, her father had never been so assertive today,

"Why are you so irrational? You can live in three or five by yourself, can you live in three teams and five teams outside? If you take the two of us with you, none of the three of us will be able to leave! ”

"It's not a question of sanity or irrationality at all!"

Zhu Zongchen shook his head and pointed in the direction of the east outside the mansion and said to his daughter urgently: "Don't you know what the little princess of the East Palace was tortured by King Yong in the end?" A dignified daughter of the royal family was thrown into the Teaching Division. In the eyes of King Yong, he has never distinguished between men and women, and has always been ruthless, if you fall into his hands, can you still have a life? ”

"Dad, don't leave my sister! She can't stay here on her own! ”

Zhu Jiyun, who was more than half a beat slower, watched his sister and father arguing for a long time before he realized what was going on, threw the book of "Mencius" in his hand on the table, and knelt in front of Zhu Qingyi.

"Sister, you just listen to your father, come with us."

Zhu Qingyi is nearly four years older than Zhu Jiyun, and the most painful thing when she is a child is her younger brother.

Seeing Zhu Jiyun kneeling in front of him, Zhu Qingyi's two beautiful glass beads were suddenly covered by the mist of water, stood up and helped his younger brother, and hugged Zhu Jiyun, who was only taller than his shoulder, in his arms, and turned his head to Zhu Zongchen with a little choked up: "Dad, don't you remember, what my mother said before she died?" If you take your brother away, our bamboo family will have a future. Today, the three of us are going to explain here, how do you face my mother! ”

"But you ......"

Zhu Qingyi closed her beautiful eyes tightly, and the two pills of crystal black and white mercury turned that reluctance into a cool and bitter liquid on both sides of the bridge of her nose, which slowly flowed to the corners of her lips.

She gritted her silver teeth and fiercely pushed Zhu Jiyun, who was still holding tightly in her arms just now, to the Zhu Zongchen in front of her,

"Let's go!"

Then he turned around and walked towards the gate without looking back.

"Sister!"

Zhu Jiyun, who was also in tears, cried and was about to chase out, but was grabbed by Zhu Zongchen behind him.

Zhu Zongchen took a deep breath, trying his best to relieve the tip of his sour nose, he knew that this daughter of his own, just like his beloved wife who knew that he had died, was so stubborn and strong, the two of them were simply carved out of the same mold, both of them had such a transparent seven-trick exquisite heart, and the things decided by this heart were so unchangeable.

"Sister!"

"Let's go, Jiyun, don't let your sister's efforts go to waste."

"Why! Father! Why did my sister get taken away by them! Why can't she come with us! ”

Zhu Jiyun, who has always been devoted to the sage book, has always been under the protection of his father and his sister and does not listen to things outside the window, which also makes this well-cared for little boy seem immature.

"Because you're not strong enough. Only if you're strong enough can you protect the people you want to protect, you know? ”

Zhu Zongchen pinched his son's shoulders and said this with some sadness.

.........

"Bang!"

The impact of the front door was not weakened by the poignant scene in the inner hall, and the already mottled and fragile door of the house gradually became overwhelmed and creaked louder and louder.

"One! Two! Three! Bump! ”

"Boom!"

Finally, with the efforts of a few sturdy sergeants, a large piece of the courtyard wall outside the gate of the mansion collapsed, and the huge dust that was raised made people avoid the pavement, and the erosion made everyone's eyes feel astringent.

"Ahem! Cough! ”

The two young generals sitting on the horse were just choked and coughed a few times because of the distance, and quickly raised the tip of their guns and pointed at the inside of the mansion door.

"Get in!"

As he expected, if he didn't open the door for so long, there must be swords, guns, swords, and crossbows ready inside, and the net will be broken with them.

"Boom!"

The few inner court guards who were closer didn't wait for the dust to settle, they pulled out their steel knives and stepped into the collapsed mansion door in two steps, ready to kill one of them by surprise.

It's just that

After they broke through the fog made of dust, they saw that it was not a family member waiting for battle, but a tall woman who looked like a fairy, with a frightened maid behind her, standing quietly in the courtyard, as if waiting for a guest at home, with no waves on her face.

The two young generals outside the gate of the mansion felt that there was no shouting and killing sound from inside, so they couldn't sit still and rushed into the mansion with the soldiers around them.

As soon as she rushed in, she saw Zhu Qingyi in a pearl white dress in the middle of the courtyard, and a circle of inner court guards around her.

The fortitude tempered by Sen Ran and the murderous aura, and the softness of the silk lingering, give people a different kind of harmonious beauty, lining this originally water-like woman even more out of the world, making the two young generals mistakenly think that what they had just passed through was not the wall of dust, but the immortal mist of Penglai Immortal Island.

Zhu Qingyi didn't speak, just raised her eyes and looked at the young general calmly,

The young general, who was already surprised by his peerless face, was a little overwhelmed for a while and avoided her gaze, until the person next to him smashed him hard with his elbow, and then he came to his senses, and hurriedly took out a piece of silk yellow silk from his waist, unfolded it and chanted aloud: "King Yong has an order, please go to the main hall to answer." ”

After he finished speaking, he looked around the mansion, and it seemed that this woman was the only one, so he couldn't help but ask suspiciously, "Lord Zhu is in the mansion?" ”
