Chapter 559: Chaos
Beijing, Yongding Gate. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The soldiers on the city gate were on full guard, and the pitch-black gun body reflected the sun's rays, shining brightly, and the halo was swirling, which was particularly dazzling, very shocking, and not angry and self-threatening.
At this time, two miles away from the Yongding Gate, a team suddenly appeared, was approaching, although the clothes were the same, but the soldiers on the city gate were still vigilant, pointed their guns into the distance, aimed at the group, opened the safety valve, put their fingers on the trigger, the atmosphere suddenly became tense, and it was about to explode.
The person in charge picked up the telescope hanging on his chest, and observed the approaching team with a solemn expression, just a moment, the person in charge put down the telescope, secretly breathed a long sigh of relief, his face was still calm as water, and he waved his big hand, and ordered: "Don't be nervous, it's Zhuge Staff Officers, put down your weapons, pull the safety valve, don't go off the gun." ”
With a bang, all the soldiers put away their guns, the muzzles of their guns were slightly tilted, pointing to the sky, still standing straight, their eyes not squinting, their expressions did not change at all, their movements were smooth and natural, and there was even some mechanical taste.
Soon, Zhuge Mou and his party came to Yongding Gate, the two sides just saluted each other, and continued to carry out their respective duties, Zhuge Mou took the lead, rode to Yongding Gate, and the team behind followed.
In Yongding City, the houses in the outer city have been renovated, and the courtyards of the houses that were destroyed by artillery fire have been repaired, and if you don't look closely, you can't find any traces of war at all, as if nothing happened.
At this time, the crowds on both sides of the street and the guests in the teahouse began to stir, looked at the direction of Yongding Gate, pointed their hands excitedly, and exclaimed: "Coming, coming, the big man of the peasant army is here, do you see?" That carriage is so big, enough to seat ten people, and it is estimated that there is still a surplus! ”
"Yes, yes, it should be the big man of the peasant army, did you see the person at the front? I have seen it before, it is the commander who attacked the east gate of the inner city, a general-like figure, such a general is only responsible for opening the road in front, so it can be seen that the people in the carriage must not be simple! ”
"Look, look, the soldiers on both sides of the road are saluting! Damn, it's just this pomp, it's in a posture, it's bigger than the emperor of the Qing court, what kind of characters are there? actually enjoyed such treatment, five steps and one post, ten steps and one sentry, and the teahouse was full of vigilantes of the peasant army. ”
......
At this moment, the crowd on both sides of the main road surged, scrambling to squeeze forward, hoping to take a look at the big man in the gorgeous carriage, his eyes widened, and he kept yelling at the people next to him: "Damn, stop pushing Lao Tzu, if we step on the cordon, we will all be shot!" ”
The scene has already been chaotic into a pot of porridge, the back is squeezed forward, the front efforts are retreated, there is a faint uncontrollable trend, the crowd of onlookers is constantly abusing and accusing each other, these days, almost all the people in the capital have seen the power of guns, because Yang Lin gave the police station an order, shooting criminals, or at the entrance of the vegetable market, deterring the young people at the same time, but also showing the heritage of the army.
The combination of grace and power is not only the law of governing the army, but also the way of governing the country.
Zhuge Mou still straddled the horse, walked slowly, and went to Zhengyang Gate, the guards on both sides followed closely in front and back, surrounded the gorgeous carriage in the center, plus the ambush personnel on the eaves and the sentry posts on both sides of the road, it can be said that there are three layers inside, three layers outside, and the security is extremely tight.
The voices on both sides of the main road grew louder and noisier, and at this moment a voice sounded in the carriage, and it was drowned out in the agitated tumult of the crowd, which only the people inside the carriage could hear.
"Ling'er, what's going on outside? Why is it so messy, I just fell asleep for a long time, and I was woken up again, I was really depressed! Is the capital so lively? ”
Inside the carriage, Yang Xiao was sleepy-eyed, yawning again and again, looking at Ling'er, constantly complaining.
Ling'er and Jing'er have also woken up, if there is no time, their bodies are tense, in a state of attack, but Yang Xiao is not aware of all this, without Ling'er's answer, Yang Xiao looked at the new clothes on his body with satisfaction, and asked again: "Ling'er, why are you so good all of a sudden?" actually gave me such good clothes, is there something to ask Brother Xiao to me? ”
Jing'er is really like her name, the whole person is very quiet, but Ling'er smiled meaningfully: "Brother Xiao, don't be so polite, you put on this dress, you are already helping me." ”
The angry words made Yang Xiao feel a thrill all over his body, only to feel goosebumps all over his body, and more and more he felt that Ling'er was smiling with bad intentions, and something was abnormal, and the bad feeling in his heart became stronger and stronger, and he became uneasy.
Seeing the calm appearance of the two women, Yang Xiao felt very ashamed, his performance was not as good as the two women, although he knew that the two women in front of him were not weak women, but the machismo from the heart still made him feel ashamed, in order to transfer his embarrassment, Yang Xiao picked up the curtain next to him, forgot to go out, and was suddenly startled by the scene outside, it felt so unreal!
I saw two groups of soldiers walking slowly along with the carriage, there were soldiers standing on both sides of the road, when the carriage passed by, those soldiers would raise their hands to salute themselves, the movements were uniform, crisp and neat, pulsating with a momentum, very visual impact and shock, and the hustle and bustle on both sides of the road, scrambling to crowd their side, and did not dare to get too close, this situation, such a crazy scene, made Yang Xiaobei have a sense of satisfaction, and couldn't help but be a little proud, with a little red light.
Suddenly shrunk his neck and lowered the curtain, Yang Xiao sat there panting, nervous, and very excited, his chest was undulating, he Yang Xiao had experienced such a face-saving scene, and he only felt that the scenery was infinite.
After calming down his excited interest a little, Yang Xiao first glanced at Jing'er, knowing that he couldn't ask anything from her, so he had to turn his gaze to Ling'er again: "Sister Ling'er, what's going on outside?" The people of the capital are so enthusiastic, so many people greet us? And the soldiers on both sides of the road, one by one, saluted us, what the hell is going on, it makes me dizzy? ”
Hearing this, Ling'er smiled "poof", laughing and trembling, leaning forward and back, the silver bell-like laughter echoed in the carriage, as if she had heard the best joke in the world, tears were about to laugh, and after a while, the wanton laughter calmed down a lot, pointing at Yang Xiao, and still laughed uncontrollably: "Haha... It's so funny! My Brother Xiao, you really know how to save face for yourself, and you actually say that the people outside are welcoming you, and those soldiers are saluting you, it's too cola, my Brother Xiao, can you not put gold on your face like this, okay? ”
Yang Xiao's old face turned red, his face was embarrassed, and he was sobered up by Ling'er's sarcastic words with a gun and a stick, and realized that he was just a little scholar of the Yang family, and he didn't have any big achievements, why did he enjoy such treatment and pomp?
After thinking about this, I felt more and more embarrassed, and there was an urge to find a hole to get into, and when my head calmed down, I reacted more sensitively, realized the strangeness of things, and seemed to think of something, and asked puzzledly: "Sister Ling'er, no, these people should be to welcome the young master, why is the carriage we sit in much better than the young master, and it should be the young master They are walking in the front and enjoying people's courtesy, why did we run to the front?" ”
Ling'er chuckled and said praisefully: "Brother Xiao, you react very quickly, and you still have some self-knowledge!" Yes, yes, my head is still quite bright, and I noticed something abnormal so quickly, which is right, under normal circumstances, it is indeed as you said. ”
The voice stopped abruptly, making Yang Xiao's heart itch, more and more curious, Yang Xiao also knew that if Ling'er didn't want to say, even if she asked no matter how she asked, the other party would not be able to answer herself, I have to say that Yang Xiao has a character who will not give up until he reaches his goal, and when he saw that he couldn't get an answer from the second daughter, he immediately poked his head out.
Yang Xiao stretched his neck, and saw that Zhuge Mou was far ahead, walking in the front, unable to speak at all, let alone inquire about anything, so he looked sideways to the rear, only to see that the back was empty, only two rows of walking escort soldiers, only the carriage made by himself slowly traveled on the empty road, between the two long columns of soldiers, and immediately returned to the carriage.
At this moment, Yang Xiao had already guessed something in his heart, but he still ran with a glimmer of hope, looked at Ling'er, and exclaimed, "Ling'er, why is their carriage missing, young master?" What's going on, it's too weird and abnormal, isn't it?! ”
At this time, Ling'er stopped laughing, her expression returned to normal, stepped forward slightly, picked up a curtain, looked at it, and saw that Zhengyangmen was in front of her, so she immediately lowered the curtain, glanced at Jing'er, nodded to each other, and seemed to have reached some kind of consensus.
Immediately afterwards, Ling'er showed a solemn look on her face and said in a deep voice: "Yang Xiao, I'm not joking with you now, listen up, we are about to arrive at Zhengyangmen and enter the inner city, after a while, it is very likely that there will be a riot, if you don't want to die, follow our sisters closely." Otherwise, if something happens and you lose your arms and legs, don't blame us for not taking care of you......"
Bang!
Before Ling'er could finish speaking, she was interrupted by an explosion, very close to the carriage, almost overturning the lid of the carriage, and the three of them were lying on the carriage at the same time, their faces pressed against the carpet, and for a while, the street outside was completely chaotic, and the crowd of onlookers fled one after another, and a stampede occurred.
Bang!
Hiss!
Another deafening explosion frightened the horse, and the carriage began to speed up, saying that it was too late, it was fast, almost instantly, without waiting for Yang Xiao to react, Ling'er and Jing'er's cooperation was extremely skillful and tacit, one person grabbed Yang Xiao's hand, and dragged it out of the carriage.
"Sister Jing'er, Sister Ling'er, what's going on? What are you dragging me for? Dangerous...! ”
As soon as Yang Xiao shouted the last two words, he was already wrapped by the second daughter and jumped out of the carriage, Yang Xiao suddenly fell a dog gnawing mud, not embarrassed, shouted pain again and again, and struggled to stand up, but the second daughter was skillfully rolling on a donkey, nothing happened, fell to the ground steadily, rolled over, and was vigilant in a half-squatting posture, and the second daughter had a dart in both hands.
Every time a dart was thrown, a person would fall heavily to the ground, his neck was bubbling with blood, and he saw Yang Xiao shrink his neck, as if he saw a demon, and took two steps back, but the chaotic scene around him made him dare not go too far.
As soon as the three of them landed, a few soldiers immediately came up and protected them in the center, but Ling'er and Jing'er jumped out and ordered: "You protect him, and our sisters go to assist Zhuge Staff and clear those remnants~!" ”
Without waiting for everyone to reply, the second girl did not hesitate, like the wind, dodged into the crowd, went to the direction of the explosion, the dart in her hand seemed to be inexhaustible, and she launched attacks from time to time, taking people's lives.
At this moment, Yang Xiao only felt that his legs were weak, his legs and stomach cramped, and he had no strength to stand up at all, even if there were several soldiers holding steel guns to protect themselves, Yang Xiao still did not have a sense of security, he only felt a chill down his back, there was danger everywhere, explosions and cold arrows came one after another, and landed near him, or in front of him, and the soldiers guarding him fell one after another, and someone added up.
Whoosh...
Boom boom...
In the crowd, a black ball was thrown, still on the main road, just at the place where the carriage passed, the timing was very accurate, and a small and strong arrow shot out, submerged into the carriage, boom, suddenly people turned over on their backs, the carriage was blown to pieces, the horse was instantly blown to the flesh and blood, fell heavily to the ground, and the nose was still exhaling hot air.
Whether it was a sudden explosion or a cold arrow fired, both of them almost happened in an instant, at the same time, with a difference of less than two or three seconds.
At the same time, in the chaotic crowd, someone struck, subduing the person next to him with one move, or directly twisting the neck, and in the sleeve of those who were captured or killed, there was a pocket bow and crossbow.
Whoosh...
Bang bang bang....
There were also people firing cold arrows, and the snipers on the houses on both sides of the street were not vegetarians, and they found their targets in an instant, and their fingers were slightly pinched, and with the sound of a gunshot, an assassin must have fallen.
Gradually, the chaotic scene was controlled, the street was already empty, and there were no more lively people, only the soldiers on guard, and the corpses on the ground, Yang Xiao was very frightened, he had lost consciousness, and he didn't know how he left? I only felt that my shoulder, the hot pain, the pain was heart-wrenching, the person lost consciousness, fell on a soft object, grabbed it, pinched it, and muttered: "It's so soft, it's so comfortable, it's so fragrant~"
"Ah~Yang Xiao, you stinky rascal~I'm going to kill you~!" This was the last voice Yang Xiao heard, it was so familiar and full of eccentricity, and his heart was also tense, and he secretly dropped a sentence, and he completely lost consciousness: "It's over, it's really over this time, someone wants to kill me, and it's so close." ”
On the main road where Zhengyangmen entered the inner city, it was cold and bleak, with blood stains and a pungent smell of blood, and the corpses fell on the road one by one, and the soldiers were cleaning the battlefield, looking relaxed and ordinary.
At the same time, the main road from the deserted Zhengyangmen must have been much more lively on the street entering from Chaoyangmen, and it was not greatly affected by the bursts of gunfire and explosions just now, after all, the two were far apart, one was due south and the other was due north.
A gorgeous and large carriage walked on Chaoyang Street, slowly moving forward, twenty big men in two teams, guarding both sides, in front of the team was Zhao Hu, these people all made a disguise, like bodyguards escorting a rich businessman home.
At this moment, Yang Lin and the women were sitting in the carriage, chatting with each other lively, from the sound of gunshots and explosions, to the return to calm, Yang Lin's expression remained unchanged, and he secretly said in his heart: "It seems that Zhuge has succeeded in plotting them, but Yang Xiao has worked hard, and after the incident, he has to compensate him." ”
Thinking of this, it seemed that he could imagine Yang Xiao's embarrassment, and the corners of Yang Lin's mouth rose slightly, revealing a wicked smile.
