Chen Xuanli gave an order, and the soldiers of the forbidden army who were pretending to rest in the courtyard suddenly got up with a shout, and the swords and blades rang loudly, and rushed towards Yang Guozhong with a loud shout. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info Yang Guozhong's soul was scattered, and he ran out of the door. More than a dozen guards outside also hurriedly came to answer when they heard the sound, and Yang Guozhong shouted one after another: "Go, go quickly." ”

The gate of the post station was closed, and more than 100 forbidden soldiers intercepted it, so Yang Guozhong had to rush west along the wall under the protection of more than 10 guards, intending to return to his own courtyard in the west to meet his more than 100 servant guards. Behind him, hundreds of Praetorian Guards shouted and chased after him.

Yang Guozhong quickly fled to the Xishou courtyard, and the guards inside heard the sound pouring out, Yang Guozhong pointed to the guards behind him and shouted: "Stop them, stop them." ”

Although the guards turned around with their heads covered and didn't know what was happening, they didn't dare to slack off when they had an order, and they all drew their swords and rushed towards the forbidden army chasing behind. Yang Guozhong did not stop, did not dare to stop for a while, ran along the courtyard wall, and ran to the west gate of Ma Weiyi. There are also dozens of forbidden soldiers guarding the West Gate, more than a dozen guards rushed forward and began to slash without saying a word, the forbidden army guarding the gate drew their swords to fight, Yang Guozhong took advantage of this moment of chaos to quickly escape out of the West Gate, and stumbled and stepped on the snow and disappeared into the night.

In the rear, Yang Guozhong's more than 100 guards were the opponents of the forbidden army ten times his size, and the forbidden army quickly defeated them under Chen Xuanli's orders. The guards scattered and fled, and some of the forbidden troops began to chase and kill them, while Chen Xuanli led people to chase them to the door of Yang Guozhong's residence, and was about to search the courtyard, but heard someone shouting: "Yang Guozhong has run away, and he has run from the west gate." ”

Chen Xuanli scolded loudly and rushed to the west gate with the forbidden army, but saw that the west gate was in a mess, and most of the fifty or sixty forbidden soldiers guarding the gate were cut down by more than ten of Yang Guozhong's guards, but Yang Guozhong's guards were all killed on the spot.

Chen Xuanli shouted: "Where did Yang Guozhong escape? ”

A small leader of the forbidden army had blood dripping from his arm, and pointed to Ximen with bared teeth and said: "Ran to the hillside, where it is, the villain doesn't know, he was entangled by these dog thieves just now, and he can't chase it." ”

Chen Xuanli shouted: "Chase me, he can't escape far, light a torch and chase along the footprints on the snow." ”

The forbidden army rushed out, and out of the west gate of Ma Weiyi, they lined up with torches to look for footprints on the snow. Soon someone shouted, "There are footprints here, leading up the hillside." ”

Chen Xuanli was overjoyed, and hurriedly took people over to check, only to see a clear snow footprint leading to the top of the hillside, and occasionally there were traces of rolling and wrestling on the snow, which must be Yang Guozhong.

Chen Xuanli smiled and said, "Look, where can you escape?" Do you burrow into the snow and be a mouse? Pursue. ”

The crowd followed the trail in a semi-encircled manner, and soon the footprints disappeared in front of a large mass of dense thorns, on which snow was scattered, apparently someone had gotten into it.

Chen Xuanli laughed and said: "There is a rabbit in the grass, brothers, bring arrows, General Ben will shoot a rabbit for you and roast it." ”

The soldiers laughed, and someone brought Chen Xuanli a bow, and Chen Xuanli bent his bow and arrows, and shot a few arrows at the thorns. The arrows shot the thorn branches and leaves into a powerful and powerful way, but there was no movement inside.

Chen Xuanli frowned and shouted: "It seems that this rabbit is very cunning, brothers, let's shoot arrows together, let's shoot ten thousand arrows together, and see if this rabbit dies." ”

All the forbidden soldiers agreed in unison, and began to bend their bows and arrows, and Yang Guozhong's voice finally came from inside: "Don't release arrows, don't release arrows." ”

Immediately afterwards, the thorns trembled, and Yang Guozhong climbed out of it with difficulty, his body was covered with mud and snow, and the gorgeous silk robe was also torn apart by the thorns, and the pieces were like floating small colored flags.

"Yo, isn't this Yang Xiangguo? Why didn't you come here to be a rabbit? Chen Xuanli teased coldly.

Yang Guozhong was frightened in his heart, but he said toughly: "Chen Xuanli, you are so bold, what are you going to do?" Want to rebel? ”

Chen Xuanli sneered: "Yang Guozhong, your death time is here, if you have any last words, just say it." ”

Yang Guozhong shouted: "You are so bold, is it Your Majesty's order to kill me?" I want to see Your Majesty and ask for clarification. ”

Chen Xuanli said with a smile: "You don't need Your Majesty's order to kill you, you treacherous appearance, you have plagued my Tang Dynasty for so many years, arrogant and domineering, do whatever you want, everyone in the world can punish you." Yang Xiangguo, if you want to blame it, blame what you did before, if you don't die, the world will be uneasy. ”

Yang Guozhong's face turned pale, and he shouted loudly: "You are so bold, do you know who I am?" I am the prime minister of the court, the concubine is my cousin, I am the uncle of the Tang Dynasty, and I am the ......"

"Shut up, you'll soon be nothing but a corpse." Chen Xuanli shouted coldly.

Yang Guozhong screamed and raised his feet and ran, a janissary guard was closest to him, raised the steel knife in his hand and stabbed him in the back, Yang Guozhong screamed, fell to the snow, and crawled forward. More than a dozen soldiers of the forbidden army swarmed up, the swords in their hands rose and fell, and Yang Guozhong began to let out a terrible scream, and after a while, it was silent, and his whole body was cut to pieces.

Chen Xuanli coldly ordered to drag his body back to the post station, and then he had to deal with the two. Chen Daoqian, you go to solve Mrs. Qin Guo, I will solve Mrs. Han, and the two are slaughtered together. General Zhao Lang, you go to Yang Guozhong's residence and cut down several of his sons and wives and concubines together, including the servants and maids. ”

"Subordinates obey!" Chen Daoqian and Zhao Lang agreed in unison, and led everyone down the mountain quickly back to the post station.

……

After entering Ma Weiyi and settling in the courtyard next to Mrs. Han, Mrs. Qin Guo was thinking about countermeasures all the time, thinking about telling Yang Guozhong that something was wrong. But she didn't have a chance at all, because she found that the gate outside her courtyard had long been tightly guarded by the forbidden army, and she couldn't leave half a step at all. The request to go to see the noble concubine was also sternly refused, and Mrs. Qin Guo knew that the situation was already very urgent.

After eating a few bites hastily, Mrs. Qin Guo ordered the lantern to blow out the lamp and pretend to go to bed early, and the courtyard was suddenly dark. Mrs. Qin Guo called the two personal maidservants into the room and spoke to them in a low voice. These two maidservants were added to Mrs. Qin Guo to serve after Qingyun'er and Ziyun'er left, and they have also followed Mrs. Qin Guo for many years, and they also have some martial arts skills.

"Red Bean, Green Leaf, you two listen up." In the darkness, Mrs. Qin Guo and the two maidservants hid in the corner of the room, and Mrs. Qin Guo spoke in a low voice.

The two maidservants were very nervous, they had never seen Madame so cautious and nervous, and both of them stared at Madam Qin Guo and listened carefully.

"Listen, this is extremely important. Tonight, I'm afraid someone will be unfavorable to my Yang family. As you must have seen, we have all been under house arrest since the afternoon, and something bad may happen. ”

"Ma'am, what shall we do then?" Red Bean'er asked in a low voice.

"I don't know what to do. There's nothing I can do. If something happens, the target must be me, and you can take advantage of the opportunity to escape. I want you to go to the soldiers and horses of Wang Jiedu's envoy as soon as you escape, tell him that we are all in Maweipo, and ask him to lead the army to rescue people. This is what I want to say to you, either of you who escapes, you two will do it. Did you hear that? Mrs. Qin Guo said.

"But what do you do, ma'am?" Green Leaf exclaimed in a low voice.

"I can't get out, what they want to deal with is my Yang family, so I naturally can't escape." Mrs. Qin Guo sighed.

"No, how can we leave Madame here alone? Madam, let's find a way to see Your Majesty, Your Majesty must not know, Your Majesty will not care. ”

"Fool, what else do you say when you can see Your Majesty? It was precisely because they didn't even let me see His Majesty and the concubine that I was suspicious. Maybe even His Majesty and the concubine are in danger. Don't say it, do as I say, red beans, green leaves, after a while, you put on the groom's clothes and go out, and say that you are pulling the horse to drink. And they will be watchful after you, and when you come out, you will kill them and flee with them, and bring with you the king's envoys to save us. There's only one way to save me, you know? Mrs. Qin Guo said in a low voice.

"Madame...... But you're ......"

"Do you not listen to me? Then I'll go and ask someone else for help. Now, even you don't listen to me, so much more. Mrs. Qin Guo said angrily.

"Madame is angry, and the little maid agrees." Red Beans and Green Leaves are busy.

Mrs. Qin Guo smiled at this time, and was about to say something, when she suddenly heard the shouting of killing outside, and the three of them were suddenly startled, and hurriedly got up and came to the window to watch. But listening to the shouts and killings outside, the sound of swords and swords scolding is intertwined. The sound of fighting passed in front of his courtyard gate and spread all the way to the west gate.

The three of them looked at each other, and then they heard a maid stumbling in from the outhouse, and shouted in a low voice, "Madam, ma'am, something is wrong." ”

Mrs. Qin Guo hurriedly appeared and asked, "What's the matter?" What's going on out there? ”

The maidservant girl panicked and said, "Madame, did you hear the sound of killing outside?" The little maid peeked a few times at the gate of the courtyard, and it turned out to be ...... It turned out that General Chen Xuanli was chasing and killing the old man Xiangguo with the forbidden army. Master Xiangguo resisted with his guards and killed all the way to the West Gate. There are a lot of forbidden troops, I'm afraid there are thousands of them. ”

Mrs. Qin Guo's face turned pale, and she muttered, "Disaster is really coming, a great disaster." ”

Hongdou'er and Luye'er were also speechless, and Mrs. Qin Guo recovered instantly, and said hurriedly: "Quick, do what I say, I'm afraid it will be our turn in a while." ”

Hongdou'er and Luye'er hurriedly went to prepare, and Mrs. Qin Guo stood quietly at the door, watching the torches swaying outside, listening to the sound of killing outside, and her body was as cold as falling into an ice cellar. Chen Xuanli chased and killed his cousin, and his cousin would not be spared, and then he and his eldest sister would be killed. Chen Xuanli dared to do this, either as a rebellion or on the orders of His Majesty. It is impossible for His Majesty to order the killing of the Yang family, so it can only be a rebellion. However, not only himself, his eldest sister but also his cousin, the concubine will not be spared.

"Madam, there are many more people outside the courtyard, all around us with torches." The servants in the courtyard came in a panic to report it.

Mrs. Qin Guo said lightly: "I know, don't act rashly, if someone comes in for a while, you will ask for more blessings and find a chance to escape with your life." ”

Mrs. Qin waved everyone away and stood alone at the door, standing still like marble.

The night breeze was cold to the bone marrow, and Mrs. Qin Guo only wore a jacket and a skirt, not even a thick cotton coat, nor a smock. But she didn't seem to feel the cold at all, so she stood in the cold wind, letting the cold wind blow the corners of her skirt and blowing up the scattered clouds, and waited motionless in the dark sky.
