Chapter 19: The Lost Trace of the Three Sisters (Part II)
Shangjing Imperial Palace, now has completely turned into a Shura field, those usually leisurely eunuchs Gong E never dreamed that one day they would see the cold blade slashing towards them, and fled in panic, but they were effortlessly caught up by the light horsemen from behind, and in the flashing of the knife, they fell to the ground screaming.
Yue Fei crossed the spear, closely following behind Hu Sanmei, the two of them had already gone back and forth in the palace, looking at the tip of the spear in their hands, there were already a few gaps, and the tiger's mouth was also rough and numb, along the way, Yue Fei didn't know how many guards he poked and flew away, and his arms were a little sore.
looked at the black long sword in Hu Sanmei's hand enviously, thinking about how many enemies he could cut down if he had such a sharp weapon, at this moment, a rapid horn sounded, Yue Fei's heart sank, and he said loudly: "General, the enemy army has arrived!" ”
Hu Sanmei gently pulled the reins of Yu'er, Yu'er's beautiful maneuver, rushed to the palace gate, Yue Fei hurriedly pulled the war horse, chased behind, a light horse in front of the palace gate galloped quickly, the cavalry looked anxious, while quickly whipping the mount, while shouting: "General! General, Khitan...... Khitan Brigade Cavalry ......"
You don't need to listen to him shouting, just listen to the thunderous hooves outside and the slightly trembling ground, and already know that the light cavalry of the large camp outside the Khitan City will be the first to kill.
The commander next to him didn't need to be ordered by the third sister, and had already blown the horn of assembly, Yue Fei said loudly: "Go to the harem gate!" ”
Hu Sanmei waved her hand, stretched out her hand and threw the black sword in her hand to Yue Fei, Yue Fei was stunned, Hu Sanmei said indifferently: "Use it to split the east palace wall and go to the east city gate!" I'm here to stop the enemy! ”
Yue Fei said loudly: "General, this can't be done!" ”
"My jade horse is fast!" Hu Sanmei glanced at Yue Fei, her voice was indifferent, without the slightest sense of order, but with irresistible oppression.
Yue Fei quickly calculated. The guards in the palace have almost been killed, and several palace gates have been closed. The surviving eunuch Gong E must have taken refuge in some corner, and he didn't dare to come out in a short time, and no one would open the palace gate, and at this time, the four gates in the capital must be closed. Without this sword, you can't break out of the city gates, and if you don't leave anyone in the palace, you can't wait for time. was bitten by the opponent's light cavalry, plus the blocking troops in the city. I am afraid that thousands of light horsemen will be buried in the capital city, and the champion general is strong in martial arts, and he will be able to block it between the doors and holes where only two horsemen are allowed to ride side by side, and her BMW's foot strength is well known.
These thoughts are a long story, but in the blink of an eye, Yue Feifang wanted to speak, and his hand was light. The spear had been taken away by Hu Sanmei, and then Hu Sanmei carefully took out a black silk cloth from her arms and tied it to the spear. Yue Fei was strange, and the third sister threw it. The spear ** came out, "ding" sound, is inserted in the palace gate tower, the breeze blows, the black cloth unfolds, but it is a ** flag, the flag is embroidered with three big gold characters "Gui Wang Wu", under the golden word, is a tiger with teeth and claws, the tiger is lifelike, four claws are coiled on the mountains and rivers, the eyes are proud of the world, and the state of extreme might.
Third Sister Hu looked at the tiger on the flag and smiled, and said softly: "The concubine is the king's dance!" As she spoke, Yu'er had already flown out, and the silver spear stabbed like lightning, and with a "poof", she was in the chest of a Khitan soldier who had just rushed in from the doorway, and the Khitan soldier screamed and fell off the horse.
Yue Fei knew that he couldn't delay any longer, so he shouted, and the hundreds of cavalry brigades broke away and gathered towards Hu Sanmei, these hundreds of people were left to protect the champion general, but everyone knew that except for the champion general, the rest of the cavalry was afraid that they would never be able to leave the Liao Imperial Palace, but no one bothered the five hundred-person team left behind by the drinking order, but instead galloped towards the palace gate with a proud face, and could shed the last drop of blood for the champion building army, and died without regrets.
The light horseman who was not selected had a somewhat gloomy face, and looked enviously at the light horse who was shouting and rushing towards the palace gate, but his eyes gradually moistened.
Yue Fei whistled, led the rest of the cavalry team to the east of the palace wall, galloped past the Xuanwu Palace, Yue Fei couldn't help but look back again, what he saw was the Khitan light chair screaming under the silver spear and the white shadow of the jade belt flying, then, Yue Fei's mount had already turned the Xuanwu Palace, Qionglou Yuyu blocked Yue Fei's sight, Yue Fei sighed, hit the horse and walked forward.
Splitting the palace wall, he came out with a light horse, and there was a mess on the street, which made Yue Fei unexpected, the fires flashed everywhere in the capital city, and he didn't know who was lighting fires everywhere, and he was shouting what Khitan language, which sounded like he was creating chaos.
Yue Fei didn't care about anything else at this time, and led the cavalry team to gallop towards the east gate, with the sword of the third sister in hand, and most of the light cavalry regarded him as the commander.
The east city gate was really closed tightly, the light cavalry team flew to kill, hundreds of Khitan soldiers at the city gate were rushed and crushed, Yue Fei brandished a goldless sword, cut off the fallen wood, hundreds of light horsemen dismounted, rushed up to the city tower, there, there were sparse archers to resist the last.
So at the gate of the east city, the attack and defense changed banners, Yue Fei led the light cavalry team, and defeated the soldiers and horses in the city who came to the east gate to rescue again and again, and the bloody battle was staged at the east city gate.
At tea time, the blood at the gate of the eastern city flowed into a river, and the broken limbs, headless corpses, and the mournful mounts in a pool of blood depicted a tragic and bloody scene.
Looking at the fewer and fewer soldiers around him, Yue Fei's heart became more and more uneasy, why hasn't the champion general caught up yet, won't ...... He didn't dare to think about it anymore.
When the light cavalry collided violently with a group of hurried heavy steps again, on the East Street, the thunderous hooves of horses suddenly sounded, Yue Fei's heart sank to the bottom, looked at the palace in the west, and shouted: "Retreat!" ”
The remaining more than 1,000 light horsemen were silent, and there was silence at the east city gate.
Yue Fei raised the goldless sword and shouted, "Champion General Order!" Withdraw! Violators will be killed! With a clamp on the horse's belly, he took the lead in rushing out, and the attendants followed silently.
The silent cavalry only had the sound of waving the whip fiercely, and occasionally pumping hard, that the horses made a mournful roar.
Yue Fei slapped the war horse silently, and in his mind, what lingered in his mind was the mighty banner that fluttered in the wind at the head of the imperial palace of the Liao Kingdom, the beautiful and indescribable face of the third sister under the banner, and the gentle smile that she suddenly pressed when she looked at the flag.
At the beginning of April of the second year of Xuanhe, the Xuanfu expedition in southern Liaoning led Yelu Dashi to lead 150,000 sons to break through the Dading Mansion in Zhongjing of the Southern Dynasty and cut off the connection between the Southern Dynasty and the Northern Expeditionary Corps.
April 11 of the second year of Xuanhe. The third sister of the Song champion general Hu led 5,000 light cavalry to raid Beijing.
April 14 of the second year of Xuanhe. The Northern Expedition of the Song Dynasty made Zong Ze break the Yellow Dragon, and the Jin State was destroyed after the bloody battle of Yan Agu, and the remnants of the Jurchens fled back to the Far East Coast to Subinfu (near Vladivosto, Siberia). He supported the young son of Aguta, and was called the Later Jin by later historians. After surviving for more than 100 years, it was finally annexed by the increasingly powerful Great Song Dynasty. Of course, that's all for later.
On April 20 of the second year of Xuanhe, Zong Ze recovered Tongzhou occupied by the Khitans, and opened up the access road between Huanglong Mansion and Liaoyang Mansion, during which Shangjing was harassed by the light servants of the Southern Dynasty from time to time, because he did not know the number of light servants of the Southern Dynasty, the Khitan army did not dare to move, so he had to watch Zong Ze recover Tongzhou, and the war that Zong Ze expected disappeared invisibly.
On April 21 of the second year of Xuanhe, a secret story suddenly broke out in Beijing. According to rumors, Yelu Yanxi was killed in the surprise attack on the palace of the Southern Dynasty, and several young sons were not spared, but now it is the powerful minister Xiao Fengxian who gives the order. It's just that Xiao Fengxian and the ministers of Shangjing of the Liao State said that Yelu Yanxu was frightened and sick. But in this way, the Khitan people could not help but panic, and Yelu Dashi of Zhongjing Dao even excused himself to be sick, and politely refused to return to Beijing under the pretext of being sick.
On April 23 of the second year of Xuanhe, there was suddenly a prisoner car in the head of Shangjing, and in the car was a snow-white horse, on the same day, a shocking news went away, after more than ten days of searching, hidden in the mainland of Shangjing, the champion general of the Southern Dynasties, Hu Sanmei, was finally found, died in the chaos of the army, and it was Hu Sanmei who sat on the chair on the street.
On April 27 of the second year of Xuanhe, Zongze gave up Huanglong Mansion, and more than 100,000 Hebei forbidden troops retreated to Liaoyang Mansion to prevent the Khitan from attacking with all their strength and losing the Laizhou seaport, so the Hebei army really became a turtle in the urn.
At the beginning of May of the second year of Xuanhe.
In the Zihuan Hall of the Bianjing Forbidden Palace, Wu Zhi's face was pale, and he looked coldly at the princess of the upper hall of the palace, and several ministers next to him were silent, not daring to interject, the atmosphere in the hall was suffocating, even Zhao Huan seemed to know that the situation was serious, and sat obediently on the sidelines, without saying a word, without being lively and active on weekdays.
Xu Yi looked at Wu Zhi and sighed softly, the situation in the north is naturally worrying, but your king's reaction is inevitably too intense, how can he quarrel with the queen mother? The Queen Mother is really reasonable, how could your king think of going to Liaoyang by sea alone? Prince Ci, if there is a case, it will be a heavy blow to the Southern Dynasty, even if your king wants to save the situation in the north, he only needs to ask the commander of the army to come out of the clouds and recover Zhongjing, so why bother to seek the near and far?
After a long time, Wang Guifei sighed: "The ministers retreated, and the mourning family and the king have a few words to say." ”
Cai Jing and other ministers said goodbye one after another, and no one wanted to be caught between the two bigwigs, especially Cai Jing, who was furious when he saw Wu Zhi for the first time, for fear that his anger would turn to him, so he gave himself a golden mace for no reason, which would be a loss of face.
After the ministers retreated, Wang Guifei said to Zhao Huan gently: "Go back and do your homework!" ”
Zhao Huan nodded in obsessiveness, got up and walked out, walked a few steps, and turned back uneasily: "Queen Mother, Uncle Huang, you ...... Stop arguing! Children are afraid of ......" Fang Cai Wu Zhi and Wang Guifei can really be described as "quarreling", Wu Zhi's tone is high, and his face is so cold that the court has never seen it.
Wang Guifei nodded slightly, Zhao Huan looked at Wu Zhi again, Wu Zhi also nodded, and Zhao Huan left with confidence.
"You...... Why do you want to go to Liaoyang? After being silent for a while, Wang Guifei asked Wu Zhi, looking at Wu Zhidi, her eyes were also very curious.
Wu Zhi thought that without others, Wang Guifei would lose her temper with herself like she did in the imperial garden that day, but she didn't expect to ask Wen Yan, Wu Zhi was slightly sluggish, and only then Wang Guifei categorically refused, Wu Zhi was still angry, and said coldly: "This matter does not need to be explained to the Queen Mother!" ”
Wang Guifei didn't care, glanced at Wu Zhi up and down a few times, and said: "I heard that the champion general is a rare beauty in the world, and he has a lot to do with your king......"
Wu Zhi waved his hand, although he wondered how Wang Guifei knew about these rumors, he didn't bother to think about it, and said to himself: "If the Queen Mother doesn't follow, the minister can only take a merchant ship to Laizhou, which ...... The Queen Mother can't control it, right? ”
Wang Guifei shook her head again and again, seeing that Wu Zhi's face was getting more and more ugly, she couldn't help but say, "Even if you go, what will you do?" The champion general fell to Shangjing, and the sea route was far away, and he could only come to the state after half a month. When you get to Laizhou, I'm afraid that the champion general ......"
"Say no more!" Wu Zhi waved his hand. turned around and strode away, and said in his mouth: "The king of tomorrow will go to Dengzhou, the queen mother take care!" ”
Wang Guifei was so angry that she "soared" and stood up, "You stop for me!" I'm not done yet! ”
Wu Zhili also ignored it. Striding out of the palace gate, Wang Guifei watched Wu Zhi's back disappear. After staying for a long time, he suddenly slammed the teacup in his hand to the ground. "Bang", the teacup was shattered, the tea splashed, the eunuch Gong E outside the hall heard the sound, and hurriedly ran in, but saw the queen mother's face slowly falling two lines of tears, the eunuch Gong E was horrified, busy and bowed to the ground, more than a dozen people did not dare to breathe. I am complaining about your king in my heart, how can I make the queen mother angry like this, doesn't this want our lives?
Wu Zhi rushed back to the Guiwang Mansion in a rage. The women were in the back garden, in early summer. It was the time when the flowers were in full bloom, but since the news of the front line came back a few days ago, the back garden has lost the joy and laughter of the past.
"Xianggong, is the Queen Mother allowed you to go to Liaoyang Mansion?" Although Wu Zhi's face was ugly, Jin Lian still had to ask, thinking of the uncertainty of the third sister's life and death, Jin Lian's heart was sad.
"Leave her alone! Just take the king into the earth's ship! Wu Zhi replied, but sighed in his heart, more than ten days of searching for the third sister, the intelligence network in Shangjing was destroyed, and the last information came that Han Ming was held by the Khitans and killed on the spot, as for the information such as the capture of the third sister Baima, it was no longer provided by himself in the intelligence network in Shangjing, but he heard the Liaoyang military report, as for the attack on Shangjing by the third sister, Han Ming and others secretly lit a fire to echo Wu Zhi knew, but now that Han Ming was killed, he didn't know anything about the situation in Shangjing, this kind of blind feeling was really uncomfortable.
"Xianggong, didn't you mean...... It's not that ......" Jin Lian wanted to speak and stopped.
Wu Zhi smiled: "Did you promise the emperor not to bring troops?" I'm going on a merchant ship this time, so what soldiers will I bring? ”
Jin Lian was relieved, when she first arrived in Bianjing, Qiqiao was bored, pestering Wu Zhi to go back to Hebei to lead the troops, Wu Zhi was helpless, and said that he promised the emperor that he would no longer lead the troops, but Jin Lian and Xuan Jing talked about it privately, and they also faintly guessed the trick.
"Xianggong, I'll go with you!" Qiqiao said with some excitement.
Wu Zhi shook his head, Qiqiao originally wanted to play tricks, Jin Lian pulled her sleeve, Qiqiao sighed helplessly, although she hadn't seen Hu Sanmei a few times, but she often heard Jin Lian talk about her, seeing Xianggong's gloomy expression, she knew that she was worried about Hu Sanmei, so she didn't dare to entangle anymore, for fear of annoying Wu Zhi.
"Xianggong, you can take Qiqiao with you!" Hyun Jing suddenly proposed.
Wu Zhi looked at Xuan Jing in amazement.
Xuan Jing said: "This time to come to the state is not as good as before, the road is dangerous, and we can rest assured that we have Qiqiao to take care of the father-in-law!" ”
Jin Lian nodded slightly: "The concubine thinks that the concubine should bring Qiqiao and Xuanjing, but she only hates that the concubine has no power to restrain the chicken, and she can't follow the side of the princess!" He lowered his head slightly.
Wu Zhi smiled: "What's wrong with you? It's okay to come here if you want to, even if the road you said is dangerous, if you really encounter a danger that can kill me, what can you do with more Qiqiao and Xuanjing? Didn't Qiqiao and Xuan Jing accompany me to death in vain? ”
Qiqiao grinned: "Even if Xianggong loses his life, it will be more lively to have me and Sister Xuanjing with you!" ”
Xuan Jing snorted a few times and scolded her for being a crow.
Jin Lian smiled gently, "If Xianggong goes, can our sisters still live alone?" ”
Wu Zhi was stunned for a moment, but when he saw Zhu'er, Xuan Jing, Jin Zhi nodded slightly, and Jin Lian said: "If Xianggong doesn't want our five sisters to wipe their necks together, Xianggong should be more careful on this trip!" ”
Wu Zhi was stunned and said, "Jin Lian, what's wrong with you?" How could such a thing be said? ”
Jin Lian's eyes turned red, and she lowered her head and said softly: "Xianggong, it's Jin Lian who is not good, but ...... But Jin Lian somehow always felt uneasy in her heart...... Last night...... I had a nightmare last night......"
Wu Zhi sighed, gently took Jin Lian into his arms, and said softly, "It's okay!" It's okay! ”
Qiqiao pulled Xuan Jing, Xuan Jing turned back in amazement, Qi Qiao said to Nunu at the door, Xuan Jing would understand, get up and walk out.
Qiqiao jumped into Wu Zhi's ear and whispered: "Xianggong, Xuan Jing and I will accompany you on your journey tomorrow, and you can accompany Sister Jin Lian and them more...... After hesitating for a moment, gritting his teeth for a long time, just as Wu Zhi wondered what she was doing, Qiqiao seemed to have made a great determination, gritted his teeth, and said reluctantly: "There is still ...... And also...... Tonight...... Don't come to the tangram room...... Accompany Sister Jinlian and them! ”
Wu Zhi couldn't cry or laugh. Seeing that Qiqiao reluctantly glanced at himself, ** mouth walked out. Obviously, having said that, I was still very unwilling in my heart.
That night, Wu Zhi stayed in the golden lotus room, softly speaking. Spring is boundless.
At the same time, in the queen mother's bedroom, it was cold, please please. Wang Guifei sat on the soft couch in a daze, and after a while. Slowly got up, walked to the cabinet by the window, opened the cabinet, lifted the layers of brocade quilts, took out a yellow silk cloth package from the bottom of the cabinet, walked to the soft couch, put the package on the table, and slowly untied it.
In the package was a square copper box, and Wang Guifei took out a key from her arms. Slowly open the copper box, and finally carefully take out a yellow scroll from it and gently unfold it. On the scroll, Yu Ji visited the thin, and it was Zhao Jidi's "thin golden body". At the bottom there is a large jade seal.
Wang Guifei looked at the scroll blankly, sighed unconsciously, her eyes were uncertain, after a long time, she rolled up the scroll, gently put it back on the copper box, leaned on the soft couch, her eyes suddenly fell on her right hand, weak and boneless small hands, slender and delicate five fingers, bright red and gorgeous nails, everything is so perfect, suddenly I don't know what she remembers, a trace of ** surged up on her cheeks, Wang Guifei took a sip gently, but her eyes became indescribably gentle......
Early the next morning, Wu Zhi ordered someone to pack up, and at the same time wrote a letter, ordering the guards to send it to Wujiazhuang, in which he ordered Zhu Wu to select the elite, led by Lin Chong and Hua Rong, and rendezvous in Dengzhou.
Qiqiao cleaned up early, watching the golden lotus and the girls all say goodbye to Wu Zhi with red eyes, the reluctance of last night has long disappeared, and there is a little pride in his heart.
Just when Wu Zhi and the girls were saying goodbye, Gong E suddenly came in to deliver the letter, and the Queen Mother's decree arrived, Wu Zhi hurriedly went out to receive the order, and Qiqiao was busy persuading the Jinlian daughters.
"Sister Jin Lian, don't worry, I will take care of Xianggong." Although Qiqiao wanted to try his best to make a consolation appearance, he was so excited that he could go out with Xianggong, and he couldn't hide the smile on his face.
"What's proud, isn't it just a few catties of brute force?" Gong E in Jin Zhi's room was unhappy with her mother, muttering quietly, she thought her voice was very low, but she didn't want to have sharp ears, she was stunned for a moment, looked back at Gong E a few times, and said with a smile: "Do you want to compete with me?" ”
Gong E's face turned pale, although it didn't take long to enter the palace, Princess Ye's name was like thunder, those veteran Gong E's stories about the palace, Princess Ye had to talk about more than half of the topic, and the first rule of your palace palace was "Don't be targeted by your princess".
"Plop" knelt down, and Gong E kowtowed again and again: "The princess spares her life, the little one knows that she is wrong!" ”
No one else heard Gong E's words, and when they were stunned, Qiqiao grinned: "Today, this girl ...... This princess has a very good heart, let you go! "If she looks at which palace is not pleasing to the eye, no matter which house it is, it is the main house of Jinlian, those who think they are in the palace of the concubine Niangniang, the new palace e, and the superior are not a few, and there are not a few who have been rectified by Qiqiao.
"Thank you, princess! Thank you, Princess! Gong E got up and flashed to the back.
"Bamboo! I'll do your errand well in the future! Qiqiao saw that Zhu'er was pitiful, and said with a grin, only after saying it did he feel that it was inappropriate, and sure enough, Zhu'er's eyes were red, and he lowered his head.
At this moment, the bead curtain was lifted, and Wu Zhi walked in, and said with a smile on his face: "It's okay, you don't need to take a merchant ship......
The women hurriedly asked.
Wu Zhi said with a smile: "The Empress Dowager Yizhi said, this time I am the first envoy, and I will go north to Liaoyang to inspire the army, haha......"
The women were overjoyed when they heard this, and it was much safer to have this identity than hiring a merchant ship to go to Liaoyang Mansion.
"What?" Qiqiao's voice suddenly raised and he looked at Wu Zhi with wide eyes.
Wu Zhi smiled: "Qiqiao, Xuan Jing, this can't take the two of you......"
Qiqiao pushed away the poor bamboo in his arms, so angry that he couldn't speak, Wu Zhiqi said, "What's wrong?" ”
Jin Lian went up to comfort, "Qiqiao, since it has become a military this time, naturally you can't bring your family, and I'll take you with me next time I go out!" ”
Qiqiao ** didn't say anything about estimating, stretched out his hand to wipe his tears, and the great joy and great compassion really made Qiqiao unacceptable, and the little pride in Fang Cai's heart turned into great sorrow.
Jin Lian took Qiqiao Lou in her arms, comforting her, and it took a long time for Qiqiao to be coaxed to gradually stop sobbing, but she sobbed again: "That, what about last night...... How did you count last night......"
Jin Lian and Wu Zhi glanced at each other, and they couldn't help but shake their heads and smile bitterly.
Jin Lian whispered in Qiqiao's ear: "I'll compensate you when Xianggong comes back!" ”
Qiqiao sobbed: "Sister Jinlian...... Repay...... 2 nights...... Good...... Good no good? ”
Jin Lian said helplessly: "Okay, I'll compensate you for two nights!" ”
Qiqiao stretched out his sleeves to wipe his tears, but there was a smug smile on the corner of his mouth.
