Chapter 1047: Chaos in the General's Mansion
The long melodious sound of the horn pierced the silence of the Tiger Prison Pass in the early morning, and the sound of the horn was accompanied by a round of blazing sun jumping out of the top of the mountain, pouring thousands of rays of light on the majestic Guancheng. The sleeping Seki seemed to wake up suddenly, and groups of soldiers walked up the wall and onto the streets.
Today, though, they are not on the lookout for a fight, but for a grand wedding. They were dressed in new armor, and their swords, guns, swords, and halberds were all wrapped in red cloth.
The middle gate of the Tiger Prison General's Mansion, which could not be opened several times a year, was pushed open with a rumbling sound, and the soldiers carried bundles of red carpets out of the door, along the street, all the way to the west gate.
Ten miles of red carpet to welcome the bride, its momentum is so big that everyone is stunned.
When the sun gradually rose, the general's mansion also ushered in the first batch of guests, outside the city, the left battalion commander general Liu Chang, deputy general Chen Shaowei, the right battalion commander general Zhang Xingang, deputy general Meng Lei, Hengduan Mountain commander general He Weiping and others, have appeared outside the general's mansion one after another, Xiao Qiang is full of spring breeze, personally greeted the middle gate, and welcomed these generals into the gate.
Generally speaking, these are his subordinates, and they don't need him to greet him so solemnly and personally out of the main gate, but after today, if the Xiao family wants to rise, it is naturally inseparable from the assistance of these people, so Xiao Qiang has also done enough to save face.
There was still a period of time before the ceremony, and these important guests were taken to the side hall by Xiao Qiang and personally accompanied.
Today's Great General's Mansion, in addition to the festivities, of course, is also heavily guarded, just inside the mansion, there are thousands of Xiao Qiang's personal guard battalions on guard, and outside the mansion, thousands of guards are even more wide-eyed, but in He Weiping's eyes, all this is undoubtedly in vain. Because the deadly attack first came from the house, under Xiao Qiang's nose. And the target is himself, once Xiao Qiang dies, then everything will be irreversible.
At this time, He Weiping was naturally not clear, and even himself was one of the targets.
In Dai Shulun's plan, none of these high-ranking generals in the Tiger Prison want to live.
Xiao Xin, who was dressed as a groom, walked into the side hall, "Father." The auspicious time had come, and the son went out of the city to welcome the bride. ”
Xiao Qiang laughed and stood up: "Go, go, I'll wait for you and your uncles to come back." ”
He Weiping and the other generals stood up, and they all laughed and said, "Go quickly, go quickly, Hugh is missing the auspicious time." We're still waiting for the banquet to drink! ”
"There is enough wine today, don't get drunk, and no one is allowed to leave here!" Xiao Qiang stroked his neatly groomed beard and laughed happily.
On the wide street leading from the West City Gate to the Great General's Mansion, it was crowded with excited Tiger Prison people, and the doors of the shops on both sides were open, but there was no business to do today, and countless people who knew nothing about it, or knew that something big was going to happen today, were crowded here, each looking at the large group of people who were slowly walking from the West City Gate.
Xiao Xin, the young marshal of the tiger prison, rode a high-headed horse, wearing a big red flower, walking slowly with a smile on his face, applauding him from time to time on both sides, and greeting the congratulatory people with fists in return, behind him, in the big red sedan chair carried by eight people, was his bride. The 1,000 Thunder Army still served as guards, and like the soldiers in the city today, the weapons in their hands were wrapped in red cloth.
The wedding ceremony has officially begun. It will be a long process, starting from the main gate and continuing to complete the final ritual in the main hall, which will be the final peace of the Tiger Prison. Chen Zhenrui turned over and dismounted, stood next to the war horse, and stared at the woman with a red hijab in front of the general's mansion who was helped out of the sedan chair.
Of course, it is not Deng Shu, it is an assassin, she will complete the most fatal blow, this blow will definitely be written in the history of Great Qin, and she will also sacrifice her life for this blow.
And he will be the initiator of the second wave of attacks. Chen Zhenrui didn't know if he would survive, he looked around at the smiling vigilant soldiers on the street, the cheering people, and suddenly his heart was at a loss, how many of these smiling faces were really celebrating, maybe the next moment, they would draw knives from under their robes and launch a fatal blow to others.
As the messenger of the relatives, when the bride entered the gate of the Xiao Mansion, his task was completely completed, and they would return to the camp outside the West City Gate, where the Tiger Prison Pass had prepared a grand banquet for them.
Chen Zhenrui knew that he was probably destined to not be able to eat this banquet.
The bride finished the ceremony outside the gate and had already stepped into the door, from there, to the main hall, there was still some distance to go, Chen Zhenrui suddenly grinned, no matter what, he finally got something. His family, the children, had left the place that would soon be the center of the maelstrom, and it would be worth it if he could trade his life for their peace.
Qin State is already coming to an end. Chen Zhenrui is well aware of this.
Everything he does now is just to fight for his own small family.
"General Chen." An officer approached and said, "General, please come in and watch the ceremony!" ”
Chen Zhenrui put away his thoughts, hugged the officer and hugged his fists and said: "Thank you General, but Chen is in military affairs, and there are so many brothers under him, so I won't go in and disturb it, the bride entered the mansion, and I also took off the burden on my shoulders, went back to clean up, and was ready to go back, I was away from home for a long time, but I also missed my relatives." ”
"Understood, understood!" The officer smiled and nodded, Xiao Qiang invited Chen Zhenrui, who was married, to go in to watch the ceremony, but he just said in passing, it belongs to whether there are dates or not, and then say, if this officer of the Thunder Army knows current affairs and goes to the mansion to have fun, then he will win it over, and it may be useful in the future, if he does not know current affairs, it doesn't matter, a little tooth general, is not in Xiao Qiang's eyes.
Chen Zhenrui took a deep look at the gate covered in red and hung colors, turned over and got on his horse, and with a lift of his hand, a thousand thunder troops turned over on their horses in unison, and the rear team turned into the front team, slowly retreating along West Street.
From here, there is still a distance to the West City Gate, and the Thousand Thunder Army, which is all cavalry, also needs sufficient sprint distance.
In the hall, the main event finally began to play.
A bright red silk connects the bride and groom, and the master of ceremonies is happily reciting the words. On the main seat, Xiao Qiang and Mrs. Xiao sat on both sides of the big case, both smiling, Mrs. Xiao was purely happy because her son took her daughter-in-law, but what Xiao Qiang saw was that the huge power hidden behind the bride was about to be used by him.
The main hall is very large, and hundreds of distinguished guests are standing on both sides, and He Weibing and others are naturally in the forefront.
The final ceremony began, and everyone's attention was focused on the bride and groom, but He Weiping stepped back slightly unnoticed.
Worship heaven and earth.
He Weiping looked at the bride with his eyes, but his hand was retracted into his sleeves, and when he attended the wedding today, it was naturally impossible to wear armor, but inside his robe, he was wearing soft armor, and a short knife was also hanging on the side of his thigh. He had already grasped the hilt of the knife in his hand.
Two worship high halls.
The bride and groom bowed down in front of Xiao Qiang and his wife, Xiao Qiang laughed and held his hands weakly.
The bride, who was kneeling on the ground, straightened up, and the change was released at this moment.
The red wedding robe covered the bride's hands, and naturally blocked the things in her hands, and the sound of crossbow arrows pierced her wedding robe, and with a screaming sound, it pierced the chest of Xiao Qiang, who was only one step away from her.
This is a special crossbow, so close that even wearing armor can be pierced, but who would wear armor when their son is married? The crossbow arrow was soaked in the huge poison of the bloody calamity, and the crossbow arrow shot through Xiao Qiang's chest, but it pierced through the back, snatched twice, and nailed to the wall behind him.
The emcee who had been smiling and watching the bride and groom was stuck in his throat, like a duck choked by his throat. The guests standing in the front row of the hall were all turned into clay carvings and wooden sculptures in an instant, and the people who were squeezed in the back did not know what was happening, still laughing loudly, and on the outside of the hall, all kinds of ceremonial music were still playing hard.
Xiao Qiang's eyes widened, staring at the bride in front of him, and he opened his mouth to say something, but as soon as his mouth opened, a large mouthful of black blood gushed out, falling from his mouth one by one.
The closest to him was the groom Xiao Xin, and the big change happened in front of his eyes, and at this moment, he was also stunned, and he never imagined that such a picture would be staged in front of him.
The bride's body had stood up straight, two crossbows fell from her wide sleeves, her hands were torn, her robe was torn into two, and a short sword appeared in her hand.
The first to react was Liu Chang, the general of the left battalion, who saw the bride suddenly attacked, the marshal was assassinated, the young marshal was dumbfounded, and when he faced the knife that came to the chest and did not react, he suddenly grabbed the master of ceremonies in front of him and threw it at the bride.
The short knife stabbed into the chest of the master of ceremonies, Liu Chang rushed over in one step, pulled Xiao Xin behind him, and then punched several brides.
"The commander is assassinated, close the door of the mansion, and arrest the assassin!" He roared.
The whole hall erupted into chaos.
The bride failed to succeed in a knife, rushed forward, and fought with Liu Chang, the move was extremely vicious, the short sword swept between Liu Chang's nose, and the faint fishy smell made him slightly frightened, and the sword was also poisonous.
Most of the generals in the hall are leading the troops, and they must have all seen the wind and waves, and they have all reacted at this time. In the angry shouts, they rushed forward. He Weiping took a few steps back and stood on the side of a pillar, this is only the beginning, not just the end, and there will never be only the bride and an assassin in this hall.
Xiao Qiang is dead. Just looking at the large ball of black blood gushing out of his mouth, He Weiping knew that he would never survive, a person who wanted to be a hero, and finally fell here worthlessly.
He Weiping pulled out his short knife and retreated towards the back hall.
A chirping dysphobia, with a sharp whistling, rose from the Great Marshal's Mansion.
On Xichengmen Street, Chen Zhenrui heard the sound of the drew, he turned his horse, stared in the direction of the General's Mansion, and reached out to remove the red cloth on the spear. A thousand Thunder Army, under his leadership, turned around and rushed back.
