Seeing Qin Shouclumsy walking away, Qin Lei came out of the flower hall, first went to Ruolan's residence to look at the sleeping poetry, and saw that she was breathing normally and her pulse was calm, so he went down to the embroidery building with confidence, and simply used some soup cakes, and then ordered Ruolan to change clothes. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Ruolan took the lake blue silk shirt that Qin Lei wore every day, but saw him shake his head and said, "I wear black today." Ruolan hurriedly found a pure black robe for him to change into, pulled up his hair briefly, and said softly: "Master, why don't you see Sister Yunshang?" ”
Qin Lei smiled awkwardly: "She's still in the car, but her clothes are a little dirty, you go and send her a clean body." Ruolan nodded in response.
"I'm not coming tonight, you have to take care of the house." Qin Lei commanded softly as he hung the sword on his belt.
"Don't worry, the slave knows." Ruolan said softly, and after speaking, she sent Qin Lei to the door.
When Qin Lei arrived at the front yard, he saw that the torches in the courtyard were connected, reflecting the spacious courtyard as bright as day. There were five hundred black-clad knights in full armor in the firelight, and the knights stood silently in the courtyard, and what was particularly striking was that each of them had a circle of white cloth tied to their right arm.
Qin Lei turned over the strip of white cloth that Shi dared to offer, and then he turned over and got on his horse, his eyes swept coldly over the knights, and shouted: "Soldiers! ”
"Yes!" Five hundred people responded in unison.
Qin Lei nodded, and continued in a deep voice: "Yesterday, it was yesterday, our palace suffered the greatest humiliation in history," he said as he waved the horse whip in his hand, as if words alone could not express the resentment in his heart: "We were actually in the capital of Great Qin, we were attacked like never before, from the deputy commander of the cavalry, Yu Qian, nearly half of the black-clothed guards were killed, and the rest were wounded. And all this is happening in broad daylight! There is no doubt that this is a violent attack on Lone, against our royal palace. Is it tolerable to kill my comrades and destroy my majesty, but which is unbearable? ”
"Is it tolerable to kill my comrades and destroy my majesty, but who is unbearable?" The black-armored cavalry roared with all their might, although they did not catch up with the battle at that time, the tragic situation on the battlefield was vivid, and their hearts were already full of anger. After holding it for a day, it finally erupted violently.
"That's right! It's unbearable, there's no need to endure it! I can't bear it! Qin Lei waved his hands violently and roared, "We have never been born for patience!" How do we do it? ”
"A tooth for a tooth! Blood debt and blood repayment! In the past, Qin Lei had already repeatedly instilled it in the hearts of the soldiers, and the answer at this moment was really unhesitating and uniform.
Qin Lei nodded fiercely and said, "Not bad!" Don't let any of them go! All those involved in this must pay a tenfold hundredfold price! As he spoke, he waved his horsewhip violently and shouted, "Only the blood of the enemy can stop the pretender; Only the blood of the enemy can discourage all pretenders! Let's go! ”
As soon as the words fell, Shen Qi raised a banner with the four big characters of 'blood debt and blood payment' written on it, and left Qinghe Garden first, followed by five hundred knights.
The rolling iron stream did not go directly to the east city, but turned to the south city and stopped outside a small courtyard. By the light of the torches, you can see the brand-new cyan courtyard wall, as if it has only been renovated for a long time. Through the courtyard wall, you can hear the faint sobbing sound in the courtyard, and there are guards who are familiar with Yu Qian, and whisper to their comrades: "This is the home of the deputy commander." ”
Knowing that the prince was going to enter the worship, after yesterday's assassination, where did the guards dare to slack off, and surrounded this small courtyard tightly. Two rows of heavily armed black-clothed guards were just about to enter the house to search, but they were stopped by Qin Lei sharply: "Bastard, go in with teeth and claws, what do you want the old lady to think?" ”
Shi Dang hurriedly called the black-clothed guard back, personally stepped forward and knocked on the door: "Old lady......" He has already learned that Yu Qian is the family of Orion, his father and brother are dead, his sister-in-law has also remarried, and there is only one old mother in the family. Since last year, when life was more relaxed, he married a daughter-in-law, and hired a rough servant to serve the old lady. Who would have thought that the days had just improved, and there was such a thing again, which was really a trick......
After a while, a middle-aged woman's voice sounded from inside, and when she heard that it was the prince who personally came to the door to hang her filial piety, she hurriedly opened the door, and knelt on the ground in fear, not daring to raise her head.
As soon as I opened the door, I saw a large coffin under the mourning hall in the courtyard that was simply tied up with white and blue coarse cloth. Under the dim oil lamp, an old woman sat on the coffin, which is most appropriately compared to the shape of a withered tree.
This scene made Qin Lei's mood extremely gloomy, and the scene of Yu Qian's vacation yesterday afternoon came to his mind again: "Lord, tomorrow is my mother's seventieth birthday......" "Congratulations, allow you two days off, and then return to the camp on the 11th." He replied at the time.
It was a shy and studious young man, in addition to the ability to shoot arrows, he was also very good at leading troops and commanding, Qin Lei was originally going to let him take over Gao Sheng's Gouji. He is in the best stage of his life, and there are infinite possibilities ahead, but it comes to an abrupt end at this moment, and even the small wish of celebrating his mother's birthday cannot be fulfilled.
Cleaning up the sad feelings in his belly, accompanied by Shi Kang and a few people, Qin Lei walked into the courtyard lightly.
When they arrived at the Spirit Hall, they still didn't attract the attention of the old woman, she still looked into the distance with blank eyes, except for the white hair fluttering in the night wind, like a sculpture clay puppet.
Qin Lei sighed lightly, stretched out his hand to twist three sticks of incense, lit them on the candlestick, raised them three times in front of the spirit, and said silently in his heart: "Yu Qian, you died to save me, and this kindness will never be repaid." There's not much I can do, but at least I can keep you out of the way. ’
He inserted the three sticks of incense into the furnace and whispered to Shi Dang: "You kowtow to Brother Yu Qian for Gu." Shi Dang hurriedly and honestly kowtowed to the spiritual position three times, Qin Lei walked in front of the old woman, and Shen Qi said softly: "Old man, the prince has come to see you." ”
The old man's cloudy eyes moved slightly, and before he could speak, the cloudy tears crackled and fell, and his lips trembled and he could no longer speak. Qin Lei's heart was like a knife, he half-knelt down, reached out and grabbed the old man's left hand, and said softly: "Old mother, Yu Qian sacrificed to save the orphan king, he is my great benefactor, and you are also my great benefactor." This kindness will never be forgotten. ”
The old lady finally took his hand and cried: "Lord Wang, Lord Wang, Yu Qian is only nineteen years old, how can he not wake up at once...... A few days ago, I asked someone to say that today I want to make a birthday for my wife and son. His daughter-in-law was busy buying longevity peaches and rolling longevity noodles for a day, and arranged a whole table of good dishes, waiting for him to come back for reunion...... Behold...... My life is so miserable......"
Qin Lei's nose was sour, and he had to endure the throbbing in his heart to stop the tears from falling, half hugged the old woman's arm, helped her up, and said softly: "Old mother, please mourn, Yu Qian is a filial son, and he can't bear to see you so sad." From now on, Lone will be your son, and he will provide for you for Brother Yu Qian. ”
The old woman whimpered again, and it took a long time before she came back to her senses, and sobbed, "The prince is merciful, it doesn't matter to me, the lonely old woman who is buried in the loess to her neck, but I just ask the prince to have mercy on Yu Qian's unborn child......"
Qin Lei was slightly surprised and said, "Yu Qian still has a child's interest?" ”
The old woman nodded and choked up: "His daughter-in-law fainted when she heard the bad news, and when Mr. Zhang came to pay his filial piety, he took the pulse by the way, saying that she was pregnant." ”
Qin Lei clapped his hands and said happily: "The so-called heaven is endless, my brother Yu Qian will not be dead...... he knew why he didn't see Yu Qian's daughter-in-law come out to guard the spirit. He grabbed the old lady's hand and comforted softly: "This is the blessing of Brother Yu Qian in the spirit of heaven, and the child will be born in the future, if it is a boy, it will definitely be a light lintel; If it is a girl, she will also recruit a husband, and the incense of the Yu family's lineage ...... Not absolutely. ”
The old lady could naturally hear that this was the prince's promise of the Yu family's hundred-year luck, and it could be regarded as a blessing in disguise, but the white-haired person sent the black-haired person, and he couldn't laugh anyway. Barely holding back his tears, he nodded his head in thanks.
As soon as Qin Lei breathed a sigh of relief, he heard Shi Dang ask softly: "Lord Wang, the brothers all want to send Commander Yu, do you think it's okay?" ”
Qin Lei nodded and whispered, "Yes, but be quiet, don't disturb the dead." Shi Dang complied, and after a while, the soldiers entered from outside the door with solemn expressions, their helmets in their left hands, and a pear blossom on their chests in their right hands. Every soldier who walked in front of the spirit bowed deeply, gently rested the white pear blossom on the side of the wooden coffin, and then looked back at the robe for the last time, and then slowly walked out of the small courtyard and returned to the post.
Old Madam Yu was supported by Qin Lei and stood by the coffin, watching every soldier who stepped forward to offer flowers. Looking at the wooden coffin that was gradually covered with white pear blossoms, she suddenly felt that Yu Qian was not dead, he was still among these young men, smiling honestly at her......
said goodbye to the old lady and left Yu Qian's house. At this time, the moon is in the middle of the sky, and the night is as cold as water and iron.
Tightening the big sword on his shoulder, Qin Lei turned over and got on his horse, surrounded by the black-clothed guards, and walked silently towards Dongcheng.
Halfway through, Shen Bing appeared, and after only a day of not seeing him, the neat and neat spy in the past was already bearded, looking haggard, obviously under tremendous psychological pressure.
Qin Lei glanced at him, sighed lightly, and said, "My responsibility for this matter is not small, and after today, I am talking about you...... Arrange it. For this loyal, shrewd and capable subordinate, he couldn't say the word 'handle', and softly changed the subject: "How's the investigation?" ”
How could Shen Bing not know that the prince's handling of the internal affairs was actually to give himself a chance to atone for his crimes. His eyes were red and he said in a hoarse voice: "Under the full investigation of the spy department, we have basically figured out the ins and outs of the matter.
Qin Lei nodded with a stiff face and said, "Let's talk about it." ”
"The matter should be the conspiracy of the Wen family and the Li family." Shen Bing said slowly.
"Where's the evidence?" Qin Lei was noncommittal.
"The red-clothed assassins are the 'bloody killings' newly trained by the Li family, and the black-clothed assassins are outlaws recruited and raised by the Wen family, and among those dead and wounded masters, there are both the Li family's offerings and the Wen family's."
"Who shot the arrow?" Qin Lei is still most concerned about this: "Xu You?" ”
Shen Bing nodded with shame on his face and said, "After Xu You disappeared from under the nose of the Espionage Department last year, he did not go south to avoid trouble as we judged, but lurked in the manor on the outskirts of the Wen family until the day of the incident. ”
"What's going on with the Terracotta Temple? Is Cho Seung-hee also involved again? "Without the cooperation of the City Gate Division and the City Patrol Division, it would be impossible to make such a big move in Beijing without being discovered.
Shen Bing said softly: "According to Zhao Chengsi, on the day of the incident, he was invited to eat wine by the capital of the City Gate Division, and he was drunk without eating a few glasses, and when he woke up, things had already happened......"
"This bastard, everything is a push, two, five or six, but he washes himself clean." Qin Lei sneered and said, "If it weren't for the person who guessed who he was, this time he would have died even if he said the flower." ”
But the others were not so lucky, so they only heard Shen Bing say softly: "The City Gate Division, the Capital Division of the City Patrol Division, and the head of the South Gate of the South City are all under control and can be cleared at any time." ”
Qin Lei bowed his head and said, "Let's act in the middle of the night, we must have a deterrent effect." After this battle, it was necessary to control the entire southern city. ”
Shen Bing received the order in a solemn voice, and hesitated slightly: "What about the Li family?" They can't afford to watch us take the South Gate. ”
Qin Lei squinted his eyes slightly and said: "We must hurt them, otherwise the Lone King will leave behind the notoriety of bullying the weak and fearing the hard, and it will also make the Li family think that we are afraid of him." As he spoke, he waved his horsewhip and said, "Burn the Taiwei Mansion again!" I will send Huangfu Shengwen to command. ”
Shen Bing's forehead sweated slightly: "In this way, is the image of the palace too domineering?" ”
Qin Lei sneered and said, "It's okay, be careful not to harass other people's families, the scope of the attack is only limited to the Wen and Li families," showing Bai Sensen's teeth, he gritted his teeth and smiled: "I want to see if Old Bastard Li has the courage to gamble with Gu!" ”
The night was thick, and the Xicheng Taiwei Mansion was shrouded in an uneasy atmosphere.
Li Qing and Li Eryi stood solemnly in the hall in military uniforms. Li Hun and Mr. Yin sat opposite each other with solemn faces.
I only heard Li Qing say in a deep voice: "Big brother, the entire General Street has been under martial law, and all the soldiers are ready to respond at any time." ”
Li Hun nodded with satisfaction, tugged at his beard, and said with a sad face: "Wen Yanbo, a rammer who has not achieved enough things and has more than enough failures, can make us miserable." ”
Mr. Yin smiled and said, "Don't worry, whether it's Qin Yutian or Emperor Zhaowu, they're not ready to give us a go." Since they weren't prepared, they had to endure it. At most, after a bluff, we still have to honestly follow our line. ”
Li Hun laughed dryly and said: "What Mr. said is extremely true, but the so-called 'be prepared', it is better to be careful." ”
Mr. Yin didn't object, he closed his mouth and fugue. I only heard the old lady sigh suddenly, and said with vicissitudes: "If you don't kill Qin Yutian this time, the assassination in the future will not work." This person is in good fortune. "I still have half a sentence in my heart: 'It's too uncomfortable to run us old fellows.' But naturally it will not be spoken.
Xu felt that his thoughts were too short of breath, the old lady coughed dryly, and changed the topic: "Erhe, where is your brother?" ”
Li Erhe said in a sullen voice: "It's been gone since yesterday, I heard that I was involved in Qin Xiaowu's convoy and was almost killed by my own family." Seeing that his father seemed to be going crazy, Li Erhe hurriedly waved his hand and said: "The fourth child is fine, there are still people who see him coming after the incident, but I don't know where he is now." ”
Who knew that the old lady was still annoyed and said, "Don't you go back yet?" Do you want to wait for your mother to kill someone? ”
Li Erhe hurriedly responded, muttered in a low voice, and was about to turn around and leave, but heard a whistling sound in the air. The second son followed the prestige, but when he saw a fireball dragging an orange-red tail flame, flying towards the mansion along a wonderful arc, he couldn't help blurting out: "Wow, what a beautiful meteor......"
Before the words fell, more orange-red meteors appeared in the sky, pointing in the direction of the Taiwei Mansion.
"Oh, it's still a meteor shower."
