Chapter 41: The King of Huainan Ran Away

Previous Chapter

This night in Luoyang City is not destined to be peaceful, not only the noise of the street night market and the shouting of teahouses and restaurants.

On the other side of the moat of the East Gate, the black-pressed Kanto Iron Cavalry stretched for miles. The momentum was huge, and the trumpets of the charge continued to roar. Countless blood-colored battle flags fluttered in the night wind, and through the afterglow of the torches, the white wolf head embroidered on the blood-colored battle flags was faintly visible.

The leader was a young man in pitch-black armor, a white robe over his shoulders, and riding a brown horse. This person is Chen Tai'an's youngest son, named Chen Yuliang.

The facial features are angular, resolute and childish.

The thick eyebrows were raised slightly in rebellion, and the eyes were dark and deep.

The complexion is bronze, and the figure is martial and majestic.

With the reins in one hand and the sword in the other. The expression is serious, not angry and arrogant.

"Phew!"

Chen Yuliang skillfully clamped the horse's back, tightened the reins with one hand, raised his head and shouted at the city tower: "Which general is guarding the gate tonight?" Please open the gates quickly! ”

His voice was full of breath, and his voice was thick and far-reaching, as if he had used a megaphone.

At this time, above the towering tower, a group of gatekeepers gathered, and after hearing the sound, they looked at each other and muttered quietly.

"What do you mean by entering the city at this moment?"

"Could it be that the northeastern frontier is lost?"

"It's impossible, we haven't heard of the war yet."

"It is said that the old general Chen Tai'an was arrested and sent to the prison of the criminal department."

"What to do? Do you want to open the gates and let them in? ”

"Report!" A soldier guarding the city gasped and ran over, "The Empress Dowager just sent a message, if the East Iron Cavalry comes, open the city gate immediately, without delaying for half a minute!" ”

"Huh? The order of the Queen Mother? Hurry up, hurry up and open the city gates! ”

"Put the suspension bridge! Open the gates! ”

"Squeak!"

The drawbridge of the moat slowly fell, and the gates slowly opened at the same time.

"Thank you!" Chen Yuliang shouted. Then he raised the sword in his hand and swung it forward.

Thousands of horses galloped, neighing and shaking the sky, and countless soldiers also chanted in unison.

After the army entered the city, Chen Yuliang led the vanguard troops to speed up their horses and quickly gallop towards the general's mansion.

When I arrived near the General's Mansion, I saw the remnants of the black-clothed people and the officials attacking inside, and the endless shouts and screams of killing were complicated.

Chen Yuliang didn't dare to slack off in the slightest, stared at the tiger, brandished his sword, and rushed over in the lead.

The soldiers behind raised their whips and urged their horses, whistling and galloping.

The combat effectiveness of the Tiger and Wolf Division was very strong, and it was just a matter of taking a look at the enemy, and it dispersed the enemy on the periphery of the General's Mansion.

The horsemen on the back of the horses were all strong and brave. They clenched their heavy sabers and frantically harvested human heads, and in a matter of moments they killed the enemy and crushed the army.

Chen Tai'an was instantly relieved when he heard the sound of horses' hooves and fighting outside. He organized the guards of the inner courtyard to fight back, shouting and killing outside.

"You waste, but you're lucky, I won't let you go next time! There will be a period later! ”

Shangguan Rubing saw that the situation was not good, and glared at Su Chen with a cold and pretty face, and threatened a few words, and then used light skills to escape.

The black-clothed man and the official who came to attack lost their fighting spirit in an instant, and threw away their armor and ran away. It's a pity that at this time, they are facing attacks from both sides, and there is no hope of survival at all, and they are ruthlessly killed without suspense.

No way! If you have the ability, don't run! If we see each other next time, maybe Lao Tzu will tie you up and feed the dogs! Su Chen raised his middle finger at the back of Shangguan Rubing leaving, and was indignant in his heart, although your chest is very spectacular, but Lao Tzu will definitely not be soft.

"Sister Ling'er, you can stay in the house for a while, the scene here is too bloody, and the little girl should not watch it more." Su Chen turned his head and saw that Ling'er was still stunned next to him, and couldn't help but smile and said.

"Master Su, aren't you going in?" Ling'er asked, fiddling with her dress.

"No, I'll look for you in the house later." Su Chen said with a smile, then handed Ling'er a reassuring look, and then he walked to the outer courtyard with a few guards.

Ling'er stood behind Su Chen and shook her head, then walked into the room where Concubine Xuan was with broken steps.

After arriving in the outer courtyard, looking at the corpses and broken arms and the flowing blood all over the ground, Su Chen covered his mouth and nose and felt sick to his stomach for a while, and he almost vomited. But in the end, I endured it, otherwise I would have to lose face again. This kind of bloody scene is really not something that ordinary people can bear, and it seems that there are not enough of them.

A young general in a white robe hurriedly ran in outside the door, with bloody stains on it, he came to Chen Tai'an's side, and asked anxiously and concernedly: "Daddy, how are you?" ”

"Liang'er, it's really time for you to come back! Hahaha! Chen Tai'an said with a hearty laugh.

"Old general, who is this?" Su Chen also came to the side at this time and asked curiously.

"Little brother, the old man will introduce you." Chen Tai'an said with a smile, his mood was extremely comfortable at the moment, he pointed to the young general and continued, "This is the old man's dog, who has just led the army to support. ”

Su Chen suddenly realized, then arched his hand to look at Chen Yuliang and said politely: "Fortunately, I will be lucky!" The major general is heroic, brave and brave, and has the demeanor of a general! I'll need to take care of it in the future. ”

When chatting with Concubine Xuan before, Su Chen heard her talk about a younger sister and a younger brother, presumably this is Concubine Xuan's younger brother. Where is her sister? I was more interested in her sister.

"Don't dare, don't dare! Shame shame shame! Chen Yuliang hurriedly replied.

"Liang'er, you will have to walk around with this son often in the future, Su Gongzi is the old man's life-saving benefactor." Chen Tai'an patted Su Chen and Chen Yuliang on the shoulders and said, "In the future, the old man will rely on you young people, don't let the old man down." ”

"Thank you Master Su for saving my father's life, please accept the next bow!" Chen Yuliang clenched his fists and said, and then prepared to kneel.

"Don't do that, no, no! We are all our own family, so why do we need to see each other like this? Wouldn't it make outsiders laugh? Su Chen hurriedly supported Chen Yuliang and said with a smile. Young man, don't worry, although the stupid emperor is your brother-in-law on the surface, but in the future, maybe Lao Tzu will be your brother-in-law behind your back, hehe.

"Good, good, good!" Chen Taian said with relief, "We are all our own family, what the little brother said is right!" ”

"Old general, let's talk about it later, we have to hurry up and arrest King Huainan now." Su Chen reminded with a smile. What kind of plane, it's endless, isn't it, why is the enemy so verbose at the moment! Lao Tzu couldn't catch the king of Huainan, and his heart was not steady.

"What Su Gongzi said is very true, let's go!" Chen Tai'an touched his beard embarrassedly and said.

After the Kwantung Iron Cavalry was slightly reorganized, the troops rushed to the palace of the King of Huainan in multiple ways.

Suddenly, in Luoyang City at night, chickens, dogs, jumping horses neighed.

The noisy people who had just fallen asleep complained repeatedly, hiding in the bed and cursing quietly.

Huainan Wangfu is located near the north gate, and after the army surrounds it, it is very quiet. There was neither resistance nor sentry to the wind, the vermilion painted gate was tightly closed, and the two large lanterns were dimmed.

"Liang'er, where is Su Gongzi? Why didn't you see him? Chen Tai'an asked suspiciously on horseback.

"Hey, everybody waited, sorry, sorry!" Su Chen ran over sweating profusely, obviously too tired to pay.

"Master Su, why don't you ride a horse?" Chen Yuliang asked curiously.

"This, I've been sick since I was a child, and I can't ride." Su Chen took a breath and responded embarrassedly. Next time, you must take some time to learn to ride a horse, otherwise you will always run around, and Lao Tzu may vomit blood and die.

"The generals listened to the order and rushed in to arrest the king of Huainan!" Chen Tai'an shouted majestically.

"No!"

Countless soldiers responded in unison, and then turned over and dismounted and rushed towards the gate.

"Bang!"

The gate of the Huainan Palace's palace was smashed open by several soldiers, and a group of people rushed in with war swords.

It was quiet, there was no one at all, as if it were an empty house.

"Old general, this King of Huainan won't run away, right?" Su Chen followed behind and looked at Chen Tai'an and asked.

"The old man also has such a hunch, how can the king of Huainan be arrested? I'm afraid I've already run away. Chen Tai'an said with a frown.

"You lead your brothers to search one by one, and don't let go of any corner." Chen Yuliang ordered the soldiers around him.

After half an hour had passed, the entire King of Huainan had turned upside down, and still had nothing to gain. I haven't even seen a maid or a family member, let alone the King of Huainan.

"Maybe the King of Huainan had long expected that the Kwantung Iron Cavalry would enter the city tonight, and when he attacked the General's Mansion, he had already quietly withdrawn." Su Chen said regretfully.

"Things are not good, if the King of Huainan returns to his fiefdom, he will inevitably pick troops and generals, and Luoyang City will be even more dangerous." Chen Tai'an said with a gloomy face, "If he wants to unite with other princes and vassal kings, we are only afraid that it will be more than lucky." ”

"The old general doesn't have to worry too much, let's wait and see what happens, and wait for work." Su Chen comforted.

"Liang'er, you take a team of people to search outside the north gate to see if you can catch up with the king of Huainan." Chen Tai'an commanded.

"Old general, forget it, how can you catch up at this time?" Su Chen shook his head and said.

"Little brother, what do you suggest?" Chen Tai'an asked.

"Immediately send troops to arrest the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Works, interrogate them overnight, and let's try our best to find out the chess pieces and eyeliner arranged by the King of Huainan in Luoyang. Even if you can't catch him this time, at least let him taste some hardship. Su Chen responded.

"It's okay, just do what the little brother said." Chen Tai'an nodded and said.

"Report! Qiyu old general, there is a little father-in-law in the palace who asks to see Su Gongzi. A guard trotted up to him.

"Oh? Bring him here. Chen Tai'an glanced at Su Chen, and then said to the guards.

After a while, I saw a handsome young man in a light blue eunuch uniform with light steps.

"Little plums? Did the Queen Mother send you? Su Chen recognized the person in front of him and asked with a smile.

"Master Su, you are really right, the Queen Mother asked the miscellaneous family to take you into the palace immediately." Xiao Lizi bent down and whispered.
