Chapter 32: Ambush
The door of Yang's mansion was open for a long time, and Yang Lian walked out, in the dark, his face was not clear, but he could tell it from his clothes, and Yang Lian was tall, compared to others, he could easily recognize it at a glance. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Guo Rong walked quickly to Zhou Ye's side, he didn't speak again, but looked in Yang Lian's direction. Zhou Ye held his breath, put the arrow feather on the bowstring, and waited quietly.
After Yang Lian got on the war horse, there were five or six people in front of him to open the way, and the situation in Jinling has been complicated recently, Yang Lian seems to be a lot more vigilant, and he travels with a lot of people. After the group set off, Yang Lian was in the middle, protected by soldiers in front and behind, and the distance between the front and back was about seven or eight zhang.
"It's finally here." Guo Rong secretly said in his heart and glanced at Zhou Ye.
Zhou Ye stood straight, his eyes staring ahead, Guo Rong didn't dare to disturb him, and stepped aside. At this time, the sky was only slightly bright, although there were lights on the side of the street, but it was not bright enough, Zhou Ye watched hard, ready to launch a fatal blow.
Yang Lian traveled all the way, and there were soldiers with torches, which increased the brightness of the surroundings, and also gave Zhou Ye a hint that the place where the firelight was the brightest and the torches were more dense was where Yang Lian was. The distance was getting closer and closer, Zhou Ye glanced at Guo Rong, nodded silently, and raised the bowstring.
Guo Rong retreated, he knew that Zhou Ye was about to make a move, and Zhao Kuangyin's side was probably short of manpower, and he needed to help.
Zhou Ye stared at the group, as the distance narrowed, his bowstring was also full, he held his breath, carefully observed the speed of Yang Lian's war horse, suddenly, as soon as he let go, the arrow was like a meteor, shooting towards Yang Lian, when this arrow was shot, Zhou Ye was very confident that he would be able to hit the target.
In the breeze of the late summer morning, the arrows were shining, with a little light, and went straight to Yang Lian. Zhou Ye didn't wait, he continued to draw out the arrow feathers and continue to shoot, so that even if he couldn't completely kill Yang Lian, he could catch Yang Lian and the others off guard, and give Zhao Kuangyin, Shi Shouxin and others a chance. Besides, Zhou Ye was full of confidence in the arrow just now, he would definitely be able to shoot Yang Lian, whether he could kill him with one arrow, or at least let Yang Lian suffer a heavy blow, and this was enough.
At this moment, Zhou Ye's heart couldn't help beating violently, and the arrow feather that he wanted to shoot again also trembled slightly with his arm, he took a deep breath and shot another arrow. At this time, the first arrow feather was already like a meteor, heading straight for Yang Lian's chest.
I have to say that Zhou Ye's timing of this arrow is very accurate, in the early morning, Yang Lian didn't notice that someone was ambushing in the dark, when the shining arrow cluster approached him, Yang Lian did notice something, he raised his head and took a look, and suddenly changed color in astonishment, because the arrow feather was less than two feet away from him! At such a distance, even if Yang Lian reacted extremely quickly, he couldn't dodge it at all, and this arrow hit him in the chest.
The distance was very close, Zhou Ye used a strong bow again, only to hear the crisp sound of "wave", the armor on Yang Lian's chest made a sound of resistance, and then the arrow feather penetrated through the gap in the armor. Without waiting for Yang Lian to make a painful movement, the second arrow feather hit, and this arrow hit Yang Lian's neck and pierced it diagonally. Zhou Ye could even hear a crisp sound, thinking that it was because the vertebrae were broken.
Yang Lian opened his mouth wide, his eyes widened, and he looked at the front deadly, his whole body was already stiff, and suddenly, Yang Lian fell headlong. The incident happened suddenly, and the soldiers around him did not react, and they were all taken aback when they looked at Wu Hou who suddenly fell off the horse.
"Kill!" At this time, Zhao Kuangyin, who was on the side of the street, was the first to attack, he picked up a wooden basin and sprinkled the soybeans in it to the ground, and the soybeans were rolling drippingly, which was not conducive to the escape of the war horse, and the possibility of wanting to ride a war was greatly reduced.
At the same time, Shi Shouxin, who was on the side, also took out the bubbling hot oil, and after running a few steps, he splashed it in the direction of Yang Lian.
"Ahh A Yang Mansion's own soldier was splashed with oil, and suddenly screamed, fell down the war horse, the war horse was also frightened, ran a few steps on the ground, stepped on the soybean, couldn't help but scream, fell to the ground, the war horse wanted to try to get up, but always stepped on the soybean, tried several times, did not stand up.
After the two of them had done all this, they took out their blades and pounced, and several diners also threw away their chopsticks, took out the weapons hidden in the stall, and pounced. They all wore specially made shoes, with a thick soft cloth underneath, once they stepped on the soybeans, the soles of the shoes were only soft, and they would not fall, and although their movements were somewhat restricted, they were much better than the soldiers of the Yang Mansion.
At this time, Yang Lian fell to the ground, unconscious, the arrow on his neck was enough to kill him, and several personal soldiers had gathered around him, who were anxiously surrounding him, calling constantly, but Yang Lian never answered.
Zhao Kuangyin danced with a long stick in his hand, he hit people when he met someone, Yang's soldiers wanted to resist, the war horse ran a few steps, stepped on the soybeans, fell to the ground, the soldiers wanted to get up, they were greeted by Zhao Kuangyin, and called their father and mother. They wanted to resist, but Yang Lian didn't react and couldn't organize an effective resistance, who would have thought that they would encounter such a blow not far from their doorstep?
"Go and call someone!" Someone shouted. When the soldiers at the back heard this, they hurriedly turned over and went back, and the war horse was a little disobedient, so this person jumped off the war horse and ran towards the Yang Mansion.
On the side, Zhou Ye saw it in his eyes, sneered, and opened his bow again, with an arrow on the thigh of such a man, the man screamed, and blood flowed out, but he was still trying his best to crawl forward.
At this time, Zhao Kuangyin and Shi Shouxin had already pounced on them with seven or eight people, they had already prepared, and they were not afraid of the soybeans on the ground at all, although the Yang Mansion soldiers fought hard, but after all, there were still two people who died under Zhao Kuangyin's stick.
Shi Shouxin also killed one person, and seeing that the two were so heroic, the soldiers of the Zhou State behind him also let out a shout and pounced.
The soldiers of the Yang Mansion were killed for a while, and a few people watched as Pao Ze was killed in front of them, and the warm blood sprayed all over their bodies, and a relatively young soldier shouted, stood up, and fled in a hurry, walked a few steps, slipped under his feet, stepped on a few soybeans, fell to the ground, and fell with a blue nose and swollen face.
Zhao Kuangyin caught up with the head, the stick fell, hitting the person's head, the man only felt a burst of tinnitus, and blood flowed out of his eyes, mouth and nose at the same time.
After Zhao Kuangyin hit a stick, he was afraid that this person would not die, and he struggled with a stick, but the man snorted, fell to the ground, and died of blood spitting from his mouth.
"Kill!" Shi Shouxin rushed over and killed the soldiers of the Yang Mansion with a few knives.
Yang Lian fell to the ground and convulsed, looking like he was not dying, Shi Shouxin stepped forward and cut off Yang Lian's head with a knife.
"Yang Lian is dead, don't wait for you to leave." Shi Shouxin shouted.
Hearing this voice, Yang Lian's own soldiers were red-eyed, and they rushed over without fear of death, but unfortunately there were a lot of soybeans on the ground, which made it difficult for them to stand firmly, and after two more soldiers were killed, the rest of the people retreated.
At this time, Guo Rong hurriedly walked over and saw the head dripping with blood in Shi Shouxin's hand, he took it and looked at it carefully, because Shi Shouxin was splashed, his face had been corrupted to varying degrees, but the scar on his face was still clearly visible, and the nose and eyes were clearly Yang Lian.
Guo Rong was overjoyed and shouted: "Go, quickly retreat." "There are already people in the Yang Mansion who have gone back to move troops, and a large number of soldiers will come soon, and if they don't leave, they will be trapped.
Zhou Ye also hurriedly walked down, Guo Rong walked to his side, wrapped the head in the cloth that had been prepared a long time ago, and handed it to Zhou Ye.
"General Zhou, I have checked, this is indeed Yang Lian." Guo Rong said, and he already had a retreat in his heart.
Zhou Ye nodded, holding his head in one hand, and quickly left this land of right and wrong.
"Withdraw!" Guo Rong said and immediately chose to leave.
Zhao Kuangyin, Shi Shouxin and others followed closely behind Guo Rong, and the group quickly slipped away.
Li Hongji, under the leadership of Zhou Hongzuo, rushed towards the palace, along the way, there were constantly generals of the Praetorian Guard who had surrendered, and before entering the palace, Li Hongji had gathered more than 300 people. In the palace, there are more Praetorian Guard soldiers, Li Hongji has seen hope, the only thing he is worried about is whether Zhou Ye can shoot Yang Lian on his side? If not, after Yang Lian enters the palace, the situation will be more troublesome. However, after entering Miyagi, Yang Lian was almost single, so Li Hongji's worries were a little less.
The sky is getting brighter and brighter, Li Hongji led people to hide in the dark, a general named Zhang Deng Yu Hou walked over with his subordinates, today he led the troops to guard this gate, he shouted a few times outside the city gate, the soldiers at the head of the city saw that it was him, and opened the city gate.
Zhang Deng led people in, he did not make a difficulty, but patiently handed over the defenders, and waited until the defenders left, and then opened the city gate.
"Let's go!" Li Hongji snorted, Chen Dongshen, Zhou Hongzuo and others took the soldiers to open the road first, and then, Li Hongji entered the palace with the main force, they ran along the streets, in the early morning, it looked very weird, there were palace maids and eunuchs who did not know the truth when they saw them suddenly appeared, they were so frightened that they were at a loss, and they didn't know what happened?
Li Hongji ran all the way, his hair was a little messy, flying in the strong wind, along the way, there were constantly soldiers arranged by Chen Keyan to come, they skillfully led the way, Li Hongji soon arrived in the backyard,; Li Hongji thought about it, and was afraid that something would happen to the harem, so he ordered a capital head to lead troops to guard Queen Zhong's bedroom.
In the imperial study, Li Jing was pacing, and at this moment, his heart was actually a little nervous, because no matter what the result, he didn't want to see that he was still soft-hearted, Li Jing thought, and sighed in his heart.
At this time, the sound of hurried footsteps suddenly sounded, and Gao Ze, who was standing behind Li Jing, suddenly raised his head, because he clearly heard that this series of footsteps was not only chaotic, but also very urgent, which proved that there were many people rushing towards the imperial study.
Who exactly is it? Gao Ze thought in his heart, bowed slightly, and said, "Your Majesty, the old slave will go and take a look." ”
Li Jing had come back to his senses at this time, he nodded, and advised, "Be careful." ”
Gao Ze walked over quickly, and just arrived at the door, before he could open the door, the door was suddenly kicked open.
"Whew!" The early morning wind poured in with a hint of coolness, and the temperature in the room dropped sharply, Li Jing couldn't help but shudder, and wrapped his clothes tightly, he was old after all.
After the door was kicked open, it fell with a bang, and Gao Ze was knocked to the ground by one of the leaders, and he couldn't get up for a while.
"Who dares to be so bold!" Li Jing was shocked and angry, and scolded loudly.
"Your Majesty, it's Weichen." Chen Dongshen walked in with a smile on his face.
"Bold!" Li Jing shouted, with a raging killing intent in his eyes, he was so angry, this person dared to be so rude.
Chen Dongshen laughed twice, the Son of Heaven of the Tang Dynasty was in front of him, and they had succeeded.
Behind Chen Dongshen, Zhu Lingyun, Zhou Hongzuo and others also appeared, Li Jing looked at them and said in surprise: "What are you doing here?" ”
Zhou Hongzuo was not as arrogant as Chen Dongshen, and after he came in, he saluted very respectfully and said, "Your Majesty, I am waiting to come here because I want to invite Your Majesty to do something." ”
"What's the matter?" Li Jing asked loudly, and he slowly stepped back, and behind him was the bookcase. He had his back on the bookcase and looked at everyone coldly. Gao Ze slowly got up from the ground, he was very heavy just now, and now he felt a little headache, so he couldn't help holding his head and moaning softly.
Gao Ze's performance made Li Jing even more angry, he glanced at Chen Dongshen, and shouted: "Today, if you don't wait to give me a satisfactory answer, I will destroy your whole family." ”
"Your Majesty is angry, and anger makes people grow old." Zhou Hongzuo laughed, he was very sure at this time, so he was not in a hurry.
"Your Royal Highness King Yan, please!" Zhou Hongzuo said loudly.
In Li Jing's surprised gaze, Li Hongji was dressed in armor and slowly walked in, "Erchen has seen his father!" Li Hongji saluted Li Jing, unhurried, the slightly upturned corners of his mouth represented his current mood, and he was very happy.
Li Jing stared at his son tightly, and he almost gritted his teeth and asked, "King Yan, what are you going to do here?" ”
"Father, don't be nervous, put your mind at ease, and listen to what your son has to say." Li Hongji said with a smile.
Li Jing didn't move, still standing in front of the bookcase, because of anger, the green tendons on his forehead were exposed, his eyes were prominent, and he wanted to tear his son apart immediately, in fact, at this time, he had already admitted in his heart that King Yan had rebelled, and he had easily invaded the palace, obviously, he had bought a lot of Praetorian Guard generals, otherwise, how could he enter the imperial city smoothly and enter the palace?
"Father, in the past few years, there have been some moths in the Tang Dynasty, on the surface, they serve the country, but in fact they have their own thoughts. Li Jingsui, the king of Qi, secretly cultivated his power, with the aim of seizing his father's position, and such a wolf with ambition could not stay at all. Li Hongji said.
When Li Jing heard this, he couldn't help but sneer, saying that King Qi had selfish intentions and cultivated his own power, which Li Jing believed. But when it comes to King Qi's rebellion, the possibility is very low, very low, and he knows very well what kind of character King Qi is.
