Chapter 353: A River of Blood

Although he was squeezed by Yue Xiaosi the night before, and then made a cameo appearance as a black-clothed assassin, Yue Qianqiu didn't really believe Yue Xiaosi's reason for saying that it was more dangerous in the capital. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

But when he entered the city, he saw the blood stains on the street that had not had time to be washed off, saw many burned houses, and saw the frightened faces of the people of Shangjing who occasionally met on the road, he deeply realized that the few heads hanging in the city were nothing but a few heads.

Sure enough, on the flagpole at every intersection, several hanging heads could be seen, and after only a short walk into the city, he had already seen three mansions with seals. Rao has raised his estimate of what happened last night again and again, but at this moment he still feels his scalp tingling.

And the words of Yue Xiaosi, who was riding a horse in front of him diagonally, further deepened his worries: "Although there have been frequent turmoil in Beijing in the past ten years, such a situation is really too rare, could it be that someone from our side attacked Jingling, and someone here went to attack the palace while killing the former concubine and the abolished prince?" ”

Xu Houcong couldn't help but smile bitterly: "When this person is panicking, the king of Lanling County will please say a few scary words......

But before he could finish speaking, he only heard the sound of horses' hooves in a hurry, followed by the sparse pedestrians on the street at this time, and the few pedestrians in front of him moved out of the way on both sides. Yue Qianqiu subconsciously took a few steps forward to Yue Xiaosi's side, and the next moment the first thing that caught his eye was a black cloak fluttering in the air.

The first person in front of the recognition head was Wang Jingnan, Yue Xiaosi directly blocked the road without dodging, and asked in an unkind tone: "I just said that when I returned to the city, I saw bloodstains and heads everywhere, as well as the house that was seized, it turned out that Lord Wang was doing business, no wonder the city was silent!" ”

Wang Jingnan looked at this long line of people, and keenly saw the bloodstains on the bodies of many people who had not had time to clean up, and he knew that the Jingling side must not be peaceful last night. He ignored the provocation just now, raised his hand and motioned for the people behind him to stop temporarily, and then arched his hand on horseback.

"King of Lanling, General Xu."

As always, he ignored Yue Qianqiu in the past, and then said in a deep voice: "This time, I went to the capital to investigate the aftermath and other things, and I am not the director of the Autumn Hunting Division. In fact, since His Royal Highness the King of Jin escorted the emperor back, a ban was issued in the capital, a curfew at night, even if it was daytime, it was best for the officials and people not to travel unless there were special circumstances. Since last night, His Royal Highness the King of Jin has personally killed people, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a river of blood. ”

Seeing the faces that froze or changed color in an instant, although he was put aside on key matters at this critical moment, Wang Jingnan also had an evil fire in his heart, but he still said quietly: "His Royal Highness the King of Jin has just recommended the Autumn Hunting Division of the King of Lanling County, and the emperor has approved it. Now that the King of Lanling County is back, why don't you come with me now? ”

Yue Xiao 40,000 never expected that Xiao Jingxian would really stuff himself into the Autumn Hunting Division. He was stunned for a moment, and then frowned, and said angrily: "What the hell is he messing with...... You can explain first, where is this going? ”

Wang Jingnan calmed down his breath and said in a deep voice: "Go to Princess Chen's Mansion." ”

As if he didn't know that the former princess of Chen Guo was trampled to death by the four horses of Yue Xiao, he said in an extremely cold tone: "His Royal Highness the King of Jin has found evidence of Princess Chen's resentment, curse, collusion with the abolished prince to murder the emperor, etc., plus when he returned to the palace yesterday, he was almost stopped outside the palace gate by the doorman from the princess's mansion, and the emperor is now on fire, so he ordered Princess Chen to die." ”

"By the way, this is the fourth golden branch and jade leaf to be given death from last night to now."

Yue Xiaosi thought to himself that he was also a demon king who killed people without blinking, but when he heard that the emperor had killed three children overnight, this was already the fourth, Rao is that he and Princess Chen Guo had a grudge against their husbands, and they couldn't help but feel a chill rising up.

He wanted to trample on the horse in front of his mighty entourage, but now he was asked to bully a woman who had no ability to resist, and he was really not interested.

At that moment, he said angrily: "Even if the emperor really has the intention of letting me supervise the Autumn Hunting Division, it doesn't matter what you say, I have to ask for instructions first." As for this little thing that Lord Wang said, you are enough for this little person, so I won't join in the fun! ”

As he spoke, he raised his horsewhip and said to the people behind him: "Everyone, let's talk about it when we meet the emperor in the palace!" ”

Wang Jingnan saw that Yue Xiaosi had no intention of going with him, so he couldn't help but glance at Yue Qianqiu who was mixed in the crowd. Seeing that the young man was wandering out of the world in a daze, as if he hadn't noticed his gaze at all, he withdrew his gaze and motioned to everyone behind him to make way for the forbidden army.

When hundreds of people roared past, he couldn't help but take a few more glances at the guys who were staggered and dragged to run.

"My lord, those people ......"

"It should be the living mouth that attacked Jingling last night but was captured."

"But according to the report, there are hundreds of people ...... not to mention it."

Before the junior colonel who spoke was finished, he came into contact with Wang Jingnan's cold gaze, and he was immediately silent, and he didn't dare to say anything more. After the others looked at each other, they thought that although the group of people who had just passed was covered in blood, they could still ride horses, and they were obviously only slightly injured at most, so the injured people last night were obviously all left in Jingling.

Only Wang Jingnan thought more far-reaching. Leaving the wounded in the forbidden army to guard the prisoners, this doesn't seem to be any problem, but when Xiao Changxing, the king of Lanling County, rewarded the emperor for quelling the rebellion, like Xiao Jingxian in the past, he directly slaughtered nearly a thousand people from top to bottom, how could he suddenly change his temper this time?

Having said that, this time Xiao Jingxian personally led the killing spree, and he didn't even have a chance to take advantage of the death of the former concubine and the abolished prince to involve Tianfengxing and Zhen Rong, who had a tattoo on his left shoulder in the Southern Dynasty mission. Because there are already too many people involved, it is already a little out of control, Xiao Jingxian's madman doesn't care, but he doesn't dare to risk that his resentment and hatred are concentrated on himself.

Moreover, the incident of the Southern Dynasty mission yesterday was already big enough, so he didn't need to fabricate any more charges!

Although Yue Qianqiu was eager to go back to the Lanling County Mansion first and see Yan Xu and the others who stayed there, Yue Xiaosi could still restrain his worries and concerns about the advanced palace, and he could only suppress the uncontrollable apprehension in his heart, thinking that if there was something wrong with the mission, Wang Jingnan should have stabbed him in front of Yue Xiaosi a long time ago. It was in this mood of gain and loss that he finally saw the palace in sight.

From the imperial city to the palace city, and then to the Changle Palace, after layers of investigation, in the end, only Xu Houcong and Yue Xiaosi were left by his side. He hoped that someone would question why he, an outsider, could enter the palace at this time, and he could also use his sharp teeth to tear open the breakthrough to listen to the news, but no one expressed any objection to his appearance, and he could only endure his doubts.

But when he saw the pools of blood stains in front of Changle Palace that were being scrubbed desperately by the inner servants, he finally couldn't help but take a light breath.

And Yue Xiaosi rushed ahead of him and asked, "What's going on?" Could it be that anyone has the audacity to enter Changle Palace? ”

The so-called trespass is trespassing, which is exactly the question that Yue Qianqiu wants to ask. However, to his surprise, He Jintong, who came out to greet him in person, drooped the corners of his eyes, and said in a low voice: "It's not that someone has entered Changle Palace, it's that the emperor is exempt from the court today, but he summoned many imperial relatives in Changle Palace, this is the blood stain left by someone kowtowing." ”

As soon as these words came out, Yue Qianqiu was terrified. Unless it was a very important occasion, the Wu Dynasty in the south did not have to kowtow all the time, and the same was true for the Northern Yan, which can be seen from the last time he submitted his credentials to the court as an envoy. And a group of royal relatives couldn't get past the bluestone slab on the ground with their heads, and kowtowed to such bloodstains, so there was only one reason.

I hope that in such a humble way, I will save my life!

And Yue Xiaosi asked more directly: "Are these people involved with traitors?" ”

"Whether it is involved or not, I dare not say, His Royal Highness King Jin has already gone to check in person." He Jintong's answer was cautious and respectful. When he ushered everyone in, he glanced at Yue Qianqiu, the only one on his body who was still clean, and said softly, "The emperor is angry, if you don't have to, just take care of the matter over there in Jingling." ”

This is a very straightforward reminder, Yue Qianqiu naturally made up his mind to follow behind to make a soy sauce, if there is no need to say a word. However, when he came all the way to the innermost room, he bowed down with the crowd and closed his mouth as a dumb man, but he didn't expect that Yue Xiaosi would ignore He Jintong's warning at all and directly pierce the layer of window paper.

"Seeing that the emperor is well, the minister is relieved, if it weren't for General Xu's divine arrow last night, Jingling might have been burned down. The minister dared to overstep his authority and ordered a dozen live mouths to come out, and the remaining wounded were all killed. ”

The emperor glanced at Yue Qianqiu, who was staring at Yue Qianqiu, who was the younger four, and his face, which was originally extremely cold, actually showed a mocking smile: "It seems that Qianqiu persuaded me to return, but it is not unfounded. I was just left behind by a few deaf and blind fanatics at the gate of the palace, but I didn't expect Jingling to be besieged. Say, how many people have you killed? ”

"About one or two hundred." Yue Xiaosi said a number vaguely, and then said a little embarrassedly, "I can't take care of this night's fighting, and I don't know if it has damaged Jingling's feng shui." ”

As soon as these words came out, even if Xu Houcong lowered his head, his face finally changed. Last night, he only thought about killing the enemy as soon as possible, completely forgetting that it was the emperor's tomb, not to mention killing, even if it was bloody, it was unlucky!

However, his apprehension and suspicion had just been bred when he was cut off by a sneer from the emperor.

"Jingling is not like other places, the queen said when she invited someone to point to the cave, don't want anything too easy to be damaged Feng Shui blessed land, to be able to afford to kill, it is best to go to the Western White Tiger's killing hole. Don't say that you only killed one or two hundred, if you can kill one or two thousand, Jingling's feng shui will only be better. ”

"Then the minister is relieved." Yue Xiaosi grinned with a hippie smile, and then took the initiative to explain last night's rejection of Xu Houcong's rejection of the enemy, and even someone shouted that Xu Houcong took the initiative to release the news, lured the enemy to invite merit, and privately summoned the disciples of the Shengong Sect to hide on the side. And at the end, he said sincerely, "The matter is urgent, and General Xu has a heart, and I also ask the emperor to investigate and reward the meritorious disciples of the Shengong Sect!" ”
