Chapter 258: Brothers Against Brothers
The gate soon loosened under the combined impact of iron and rolling logs, and a crack a foot wide appeared, and gradually continued to widen. It seems that Tian Cheng led his troops in just a moment.
Su Qin looked at Tian Tong again, his body trembled, and he had a very frightened expression. Su Qin thought: "Tian Tong is a civil servant after all, he is gentle and elegant on weekdays, but he panics when he encounters a martial array." ”
Thinking of Tian Tong's danger, out of gratitude, Su Qin thought about whether to help. At this time, he suddenly heard a snare drum in the distance, rumbling for a while, the sound was so loud that it seemed that Linzi City was about to tremble.
Tian Cheng and his soldiers were all stunned by the sudden sound of the snare drums, and everyone was stunned, nervously looking in the direction that the snare drum sounded had come to mind.
The sappers who had just struck the gate were only a few strokes away from being able to hit the gate of Kaitianfu, but hearing such an earth-shattering snare drum sound, everyone's heart trembled a few times, and they couldn't help but stop and look over there.
In an instant, a fast horse rushed over from the place where the drum sounded, and when Su Qin saw it, it was Tian Tong's son, Tian Ming, who was sitting immediately. Tian Ming stood at a distance of more than 20 zhang from Tian Cheng, and he shouted to Tian Cheng: "Why don't you stop the siege quickly, the prince of Qi will lead the palace guards to arrive."
When Tian Cheng heard that King Qi had arrived, he was shocked, and he was stunned for a while, not knowing what to do.
When Su Qin heard Tian Ming's shout, he realized that it was Tian Pijiang, the king of Qi, who led the palace guards to arrive, "No wonder the sound of the military drum is so explosive, it turns out that Tian Bijiang, who likes big scenes, has arrived." ”
Behind Tian Ming, about 200 soldiers in the vanguard of the palace guards had already run to the gate of Tianfu, and it didn't take long for a large number of soldiers to arrive, as many as 1,000 people.
The king of Qi came to the scene after the most chariote, and the palace guards made way for a passage, and drove straight to a place of about twenty zhang before stopping. Qi Wang Tian Pijiang came out of his chariot, and eight personal guards with swords surrounded him in front of and behind him.
The king of Qi shouted to the soldiers besieging Tianfu: "You are so bold, don't you put down your weapons quickly!" ”
Those soldiers looked at Tian Cheng, Tian Cheng did not react, they hesitated. The king of Qi ordered: "Surround all the rebels for me!" ”
The palace guards were divided into four teams, and the soldiers led by Tian Cheng outflanked them from all sides, and besieged them in the center. Tian Cheng only came to his senses at this time, he hurriedly dismounted and ran towards King Qi's chariot. He fell to his knees a mile away.
Tian Cheng said loudly: "I beg the king to forgive the minister for his recklessness, the minister is not a rebellion, but he is not angry with Tian Tong's approach, so he came to him to reason." ”
King Qi was furious, pointed at Tian Cheng's hand and trembled, and said angrily: "Where are you looking for someone to reason, it is clear that you are raising a rebellion, and the widow looks at your uncle's face, and usually tolerates you very much, but I didn't expect you to act so recklessly." ”
Tian Cheng grabbed the ground with his head, knocked three times in a row, and said bitterly: "The minister followed the previous king and fought for the south and north of the Qi country, why not be afraid of life and death, but today he was really bullied by that Tian Tong in a hurry, so he made this decision." The minister suspected that there was a conspiracy in his house, so he searched first. The ministers did not dare to make trouble. ”
"You still don't admit to the crime you committed, and you still defend yourself." King Qi was still furious, "You used the army without authorization, attacked Zhengqing's mansion, released arrows, and attacked the door, isn't this still a battle?" ”
As he spoke, King Qi was even more furious, and he ordered the head of the palace guards to take Tian Cheng down and put him in prison, waiting for Ling Chi to be executed.
Na Tian Cheng did not resist, he was tied up by five or six guards, he shouted "wronged", he couldn't help but feel pain again, and the old tears were all over the place.
Qi Wang Tian Bijiang simply turned his face away and no longer looked at Na Tian Cheng. When the guards pushed Tian Cheng away, Tian Pijiang turned his head and ordered: "Arrest all the officers and non-commissioned officers involved in the rebellion, and punish them according to the crimes they committed, and at least beat them with a hundred military sticks." ”
The palace guards tightened the encirclement and shouted at the rebels to lay down their weapons, and when the rebels saw that their commanders had been arrested, they dared to resist any more, and threw their swords on the ground.
The palace guards pounced, captured the rebels one by one, tied them up three times and two times, and then led them out of the scene.
Just as the rebels were being taken, the already tattered gate of Tianfu creaked open, and Tian Tong came out of Tianfu with a dozen or so family members. He ran to the chariot of Qi Wangtian Pijiang, knelt on the ground for a long time, and began to cry.
King Qi saw that Tian Tong was particularly aggrieved, so he comforted him and said, "Uncle, please get up, don't worry about it anymore." As soon as Tian Ming reported to the widow, the widow gathered the elite of the palace guards and came quickly. The rebels have been annihilated, so settle down. ”
When Su Qin heard King Qi's words, he realized that it was Tian Ming who quietly went to report to King Qi, so there was a scene where King Qi led the palace guards to quell the rebellion.
It seems that Tian Tong's strategy of having many sons and many blessings is really effective, it is really "brothers in battle, fathers and sons in battle", which is indeed reasonable.
Su Qin saw that the crisis in Tianfu had passed, and he was worried about the safety of the Meng sisters, so he went down the gatehouse and walked to the mountain where the Meng sisters were hiding.
When he arrived at the hiding place of the Meng sisters, Su Qin found that the two of them were no longer there, he suddenly became anxious, and returned to his residence to look, but he couldn't see the two sisters. Ning Jun had disappeared before, and now that the Meng sisters had disappeared, Su Qin was really uneasy.
He thought that there were so many strange things happening in this Tianfu, it was indeed not a place to stay for a long time, so he had to find another place as soon as possible and break away from Tianfu, so that the Zhao delegation could settle down.
Su Qin thought about it while waiting for the Meng sisters, he had the heart to go out to look for them, but he was afraid that their sisters would suddenly return, so he lingered for a long time, and sighed to himself.
waited until the second half of the night, Su Qin found that two figures flashed into the courtyard door, and after a while, the two people touched the east room, and Su Qin dared to conclude that it was the Meng sisters who came back. He pushed open the door, and the Meng sisters were taken aback when they suddenly saw Su Qin.
Su Qin beckoned to the Meng sisters and let them into their house. He asked the two in a low voice, "Why don't you two wait at Shanshi and come back so late?" ”
"We saw that there was a lot of chaos in Tianfu, and it was not a way to stay there all the time, so we just mixed in with the crowd and looked around." Meng Ting explained.
