Chapter 96: The Sky is Full of Red Flower Frost on the White Ground (5)
There was silence after the loud bang, the ears were buzzing, and there was blood in the noses and ears that were a little closer, and the heavy armored soldiers who were at the center of the explosion fell directly to a large piece, the stumps and severed arms were piled up on the ground, and the walls were full of red and white things, like purgatory on earth, miserable.
The soldiers on the tower of the city were no better, and the men could not form an army when they turned over on their horses. Although Ning Hongtao is also a veteran of the battlefield who has experienced the baptism of war, he was also shocked in the face of such a powerful explosion. Although the whole tower only shook for a moment, this tower was made of huge stones, and it was several feet thick.
The grizzled Han Xiaofeng shook his grizzled head, feeling a little swollen, and it was still buzzing. This powder keg from there, if it weren't for Lao Tzu's fast flash, Lao Tzu's life would have been explained here.
The city gate was filled with smoke, and it was impossible to see what was going on, but through the light of the fire reflected by the torches, the figures could be faintly seen. At the end, the dart master looked in the direction of Han Xiaofeng, then turned around and ran quickly towards the city gate.
Although the person was wearing the clothes of a dart master just now, and his face was dark, Han Xiaofeng still recognized it as Hou Jingxuan at a glance. It turned out to be a dart master in disguise, mixed in the crowd, no wonder I didn't find it after looking for a long time.
Han Xiaofeng stiffened a carp and shouted angrily, "Ma Yi, what the hell are you doing, stop those people quickly, and don't let me run away." ”
Although Ma Yi is the deputy commander of the Yulin Army, he has never even been on the battlefield, how have he ever seen such a tragic scene, and the whole person was stunned and motionless. Hearing Han Xiaofeng's angry shouting, he came back to his senses, and hurriedly drove his horse and shouted, "Follow me." ”
As soon as they got out of the city gate, they were like fish in water, and everyone scattered and fled, not knowing who to chase. The soldiers on the tower of the city can't manage so much, and the bow and arrow are a random shot, and one can be left, otherwise those dead brothers will die in vain.
This black light is blind, there are many targets, there is no way to escape from the city, run out of three or four hundred people, can intercept a hundred people and burn high incense. Han Xiaofeng didn't force it, it was better to go out of the city than to stay in the city.
Han Xiaofeng was secretly annoyed, why didn't he expect that this Yang Xiu had gunpowder, otherwise he wouldn't have let them escape from the city so easily. At this time, Ning Hongtao shouted on the city tower, look, there is a fire on the side of the palace.
Han Xiaofeng looked in the direction of the palace, it was really like this, he didn't pay attention to the hot fight just now, and thought it was the fire on the side of the Houfu. It's really an evil sect today, and everything has been done. Suddenly thinking that Yang Liu was in the palace, would there be any coincidence in it, and he couldn't care about the bastards of the Hou family, so he ran towards the palace.
It is said that in ancient times, there was a fire, and nine times out of ten they could only resign themselves to fate, and they could not extinguish the fire in many pots and pans, so they could only pour a few scoops of water on the place where they had not yet burned to prevent continued burning. I can't do anything else, I can only wait for the fire to go out naturally, no different from playing Songkran.
Wu Meiniang walked quickly, for fear of being delayed for a minute and a half. But when I arrived at the Caisi Courtyard, it was still too late, and I saw smoke curling up, and the entire courtyard had already been burned to ashes, leaving only ruins and broken walls. Looking at this situation, Wu Meiniang's eyes were slightly red, and she burst into tears.
At this time, the eunuch shouted in a sharp voice, "The emperor has arrived."
Everyone knelt on the ground and shouted, long live the emperor, long live, long live.
Li Zhi's face was blue and extremely ugly. He shook his hand fiercely and shouted, getting up.
Everyone trembled, for fear that the emperor would blame him, and he would have to lose his skin if he didn't die. Li Zhi shouted, Tan Xiong, get over to me.
Tan Xiong secretly said that it was not good, and ran to Li Zhi with trepidation.
Li Zhi looked at the ruins and what happened to the people.
Tan Xiong lowered his head and never dared to raise it. He said in a deep voice, Your Majesty, Aoyagi Niangniang she... She's dead.
When Wu Meiniang heard this, she cried even more sadly. Li Zhi was distressed when he heard this, and took her little hand and said, I know you are good sisters, but people can't be resurrected after death, so don't be too sad.
Wu Meiniang nodded and said, Thank you Your Majesty for your comfort, but I am really such a caring sister, but I left for no reason, and the concubine couldn't figure out why a good person should suffer this unwarranted disaster.
Li Zhi's face was gloomy, and the thunder was furious, there must be a thief lurking in this palace. Said angrily, Tan Xiong, I ordered you to catch the thieves in the palace tonight, otherwise you will come to see you.
Tan Xiong hugged his fists, and the last general took the order
Hearing Li Zhi's words, Wu Meiniang relieved herself. I secretly rejoiced in my heart, Gonggong Zhao, now that you don't come out for a thousand years, you have to obediently drill it out for me. Don't blame me for being ruthless, as long as you are in this palace for a day, I won't be able to sleep well, who let you know too much.
Zhao Dequan looked at Li Zhi from a distance and was furious, knowing that the situation had changed, although the fire in the palace had nothing to do with him, but Li Zhi would not think like this, he would definitely think that someone in the palace was making trouble, and when the time came, whether he showed up or not, he would die, so it was better to fight to the death. But I didn't understand one thing, in addition to myself, who else in this palace ate the bear's heart leopard gall and dared to set fire to the inner courtyard of the palace. Could it be that the harem is tilted, and the other ladies are jealous of the county lord's favor and want to be unfavorable to her? But the county lord's martial arts can't be mastered so easily. There must be something strange in this, could it be that the county lord was exposed, and deliberately chose to escape, I think it should be so.
As soon as Tan Xiong led the people away, he heard a loud roar in the alley here, and the arrows kept rising into the sky. When the eunuchs and palace maids hidden in all corners of the palace heard this voice, their faces changed, and they all picked up the swords and daggers hidden in them and killed them at the location of the arrows. These people are either orphans of the previous dynasty, guilty of crimes, or official prostitutes, or dead soldiers, etc., anyway, they are all people who have a common enmity with Li Tang. are all nails that have been planted into the palace by Yang Xiu and King Jing using various relationships over the years, just waiting for this moment to come.
When Tan Xiong heard this sound of arrows, he said that something was wrong, and he immediately took the men and horses back to kill. This day is really going to kill me, either something happens here or something happens there, and it doesn't stop for a moment, if Your Majesty has some trouble, it will be okay if you suffer, don't drag down your own family to accompany the funeral.
After Zhao Dequan sent out the arrow, he slowly approached Li Zhi in the eunuch pile, ready to wait for the opportunity to move, and strive for a single blow to kill, as long as Li Zhi's dog life was taken, Li Tang Jiangshan would collapse in half. I can be regarded as worthy of the Yang family and Your Majesty.
Everyone in the world said that Yang Guang was cruel, but he knew that this was just an excuse made by those chaotic ministers and thieves. The princes and ministers don't take Zhao Dequan for granted, only His Majesty never does this, although he is a subordinate, he treats each other politely everywhere. In fact, Yang Guang is not only not brutal, but benevolent and generous, and has great ambitions, but it is precisely because of this that Yu Wenhua and the old man have a chance to take advantage of it. That year, there were many disasters, and the grain in the treasury was taken to relieve the disaster, and the treasury was empty, but the old man Yuwen withheld the grain and grass for disaster relief and incited the victims to rebel. From the beginning, this was out of control, and the victims of the domestic disaster rose up one after another like sparks, making the imperial court turbulent and unstable, which caused the Great Sui to be stormy.
Maybe good and evil will be rewarded in the end, Yu Wenhua and the country that he thought would be at his fingertips as long as His Majesty died, but Li Yuan took it away, and he really laughed at the old man.
