Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Yellow Sparrow Follows

After a careful look at the four times, I can't help but feel that the Phoenix Pavilion in the new Changxin, the original around the corridor wall Xizi Wangyue, Begonia Spring Sleep, Wenjun wine, Feiyan Linfeng a piece of fine embroidered Shu brocade tapestry hanging on the wall, has been replaced with a new five sheep brocade pattern, concave and convex cloud dragon line needles densely weaved, the color is bold and gorgeous,

Seeing me look at the painting, the woman next to me smiled, and said, "This is a new brocade style, and the Shu brocade and Shu embroidery have their own attitudes, so from time to time to replace the hanging stickers." Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 ο½‰ο½Žο½†ο½β€

I smiled, just looked sideways, and saw that she was wearing a cinnamon green full-breasted Ruijin skirt, combing a simple Leyou bun, inserting a green snow hairpin, although it is an ordinary thing, but the color is harmonious, and she is tall and slender, and her clothes are fair, and she also has a romantic attitude.

Thinking of this, and then looking at the purple-clothed female music in the stand, I couldn't help but think that the female music was the little girl who was here last time, or she had some skills, so she went all the way to a better place.

The faint fragrance of pear blossoms wafted on the peony and green leaf smoker next to him, and Yu Wenchen stroked the daughter of the hall who was wearing a white Luo Yue light blue embroidered skirt next to him, holding a small bun with flowing clouds and fragrant flowers, and inserting a plum-shaped copper hairpin.

The long hair gently flowed down from his hand, but a straightforward smile suddenly appeared on Yu Wenchen's young and handsome cheeks, "I think Beiming's daughter's family is very similar to Xinyue's, but there are some differences.

Especially this Phoenix Pavilion, the difference between the daughter's family in the Phoenix Pavilion in Xinyue is more obvious, but I can't tell what it is. ”

Naturally, it is different, ordinary daughters' families, a heart is only hung on the feelings of men and women and the management of the family, the joy of humanity is very good, and the non-people are miserable and reduced to fish eyes.

The daughter family of Phoenix Pavilion is self-sufficient whether it is performing or selling herself, and too many people have been trained early to become a real spy soldier, no matter how different the origin is, after all, the feeling of the husband in her heart is natural.

But I just smiled, didn't say anything, and raised my glass to invite him to drink again.

The repertoire of "Flat Sand and Falling Geese" in the Yaoqin downstairs has been played for most of the time, and the poignancy and long-distance condensed in the orchestral sound seem to be able to take people to another world.

Just as I was indulging in the singing and feeling in my arms, I could hear the unexpected continuous wrong notes below, and the sound of cracking silk and broken jade was frequent, and the lamp of the Changxin Palace suddenly burst, splashing fire everywhere, and the gauze tent and curtain were soon ignited.

Everyone was caught in the flames and firelight and looked at the crowd around them who were screaming and scattering, and I hurriedly ran to Wang Jin and Shen Shuyang, and pulled them together to escape, because everyone else has martial arts, and the two of them are all civil officials, so I am afraid that something will go wrong.

While holding the stool in his hand and slapping the surrounding flames, his hands desperately slapped the flames on Wang Jin's clothes.

Unexpectedly, at this time, I saw a figure swept out of the Phoenix Pavilion, because of a row of thieves wrapped in headscarves, raised his hand and brushed this side with a hidden weapon of hidden arrows, I hurriedly pulled out the full moon scimitar, while swinging to block the arrows, while pulling the mechanism to spray smoke so that we could escape.

Yu Wenchen and several other generals also quickly gathered with me, and we formed a circle, wrapped around the civil envoys and moved out of the door.

The hidden weapon over there became more and more violent, and the fire quickly burned into thick smoke billowing, making it difficult to identify the characters.

Even the carved beams and the tapestries on the four walls were already gradually igniting, and we had not yet rushed out of here, and I couldn't help but be anxious in my heart, and almost hit two arrows, thanks to Yu Wenchen covering on the side, he hit those arrows to the side, and said to the bandits who surrounded us in a funny way:

"Can you still see who is who, shoot it, or don't you look at it at all, did you shoot all the arrows that are going to shoot Fu Yannian on my side-"

I saw the smoke gradually rising in the sea of fire, so I hurriedly turned sideways and took the teapot to wet Yu Wenchen, and wet myself, while covering the actions of others, I said, "Moisten the sleeve cannon, attach it to your mouth and nose, and run away!" ”

As he continued to hit the arrows that were being fired, he felt that there were more and more people around him, and the assassin thieves dressed as turbans and rogue people who didn't know their true identities were fighting with the girl in purple on the other side and many girls behind them.

Our group hurriedly took advantage of the chaos and fled in a hurry, and stayed outside, but unexpectedly, there was also a battle outside the pavilion. It seems that it is not a simple assassination, but an assassination as for other messes.

After all, the Phoenix Pavilion is the place where the state forces of Prince Li and the eldest princess are the masters behind the scenes, and there are people who will fight and burn this place here, could it be that the eldest prince has already acted?

What is the arrangement of their forces at this time?

Could it be that the peasant army hired by the squires had already taken advantage of the approaching celebration of the founding of the Beiming Dynasty and had already mixed into the city in batches?

So how did the lord and the eldest princess arrange it?

It's just that at this moment, I really don't care about this much, I just desperately kill out, and it is important to find and try to break through with a few envoys and our personnel, but fortunately, there are a lot of generals among our exercisers,

There are many people who are skilled in martial arts, taking advantage of the fierce battle and the fire, I am busy saying that I let everyone put out the narrow alley mandarin duck formation, taking advantage of the fierce battle on both sides, escape from the cabinet within three moments, we will break out,

Fleeing to a small boat by the Ji River, but seeing that the fire was still raging, a few people had to row away quickly, until a claustrophobic place in the depths of the Ji River, before stopping to inquire about everyone's injuries and thinking about how to find out.

"How could such a thing happen?" Yu Wenchen was puzzled: "Could it be that there are people in the Beiming court who want to be unfavorable to us?" ”

"I'm afraid it's not specifically for you," I smiled bitterly, "I'm afraid it's our group of people, it's just a captured cicada in front of it, just to make a small matter, but someone in the Beiming court wants to turn the sky upside down." ”

"Civil strife?" Shen Shuyang still muttered to himself, as if he was thinking about something, but he didn't continue to say anything.

"Then why did you pick such a time?" Wei Hao looked at me, looked at Wang Jin again with a consultative look, and said, "Could it be that the timing is right at this time?" ”

All kinds of things passed through my heart one by one, and suddenly my heart began to feel cold. I don't know if this game is in the hands of the eldest princess? Such a sudden accident really caught people off guard.

"I'll go to the river to get some food for everyone first, and then General Yuwen and I will secretly go back to inquire about the situation, and the other generals will trouble protecting the envoys of the two countries here, okay?" I looked at Yu Wenchen and said, "There is no result in such a speculation now, it is better to catch some fish first, grill them to your heart's content, and then go to find out, and then make arrangements." ”

Everyone nodded. Yu Wenchen and I went to catch our own fish first, and when the bonfire was lit and everyone settled down, we went upstream along the mountain stream to explore the way.

The road at the mountain stream by the river is not easy to walk, and from time to time it will fall into the flat land that is trapped in the landfill or flooded below, and in many sections, the water even breaks through the filled case to form a small lake, and the autumn wind has a little chill,

It makes me really worried about whether the emissaries will be able to ensure that their bodies are safe after staying here for a long time.

But in any case, Wang Jin is still here, if it is really the battle arranged by the eldest princess to lure the snake out of the hole, it should not be lost, although I am not much sure in my heart, but I still have to hold on to the calm appearance, which is also created by the times.

When I arrived not far outside the city, I saw the fire on the Suzaku Terrace, which seemed to be a bonfire, and it seemed to be burning.

At that moment, a painful pain gnawed at my heart, a sense of powerlessness almost paralyzed my nerves, and I never felt so weak in my heart as I did today.

What if the eldest prince succeeds in seizing the throne? Prince Ning and Prince Jing, what should they do?

It was already past dawn, and in the dark and blue sky, the stars and moon were still twinkling playfully, as if they could not see the miserable purgatory-like battlefield in the world, silently, looking in the depths.

After a closer look, I saw that the city gate was even more raging, and it was already blocked, and the traffic fortress inside and outside the city was being contested.

The peasant army on all sides was wrapped in white cloth turbans and hugged on all sides, while the Praetorian Guards at the head of the city carried rockets and were distributed on all sides, waiting for the cloud ladder to approach the city.

Then they fired a salvo, the sound of clamor and shouting was endless, the rockets on the city were fired in unison, the arrows were like rain, and a wave of peasant troops who climbed and attacked the city were burned black in an instant, screaming and wailing.

Not long after, the trebuchets under the city, the sound of artillery and kudzu ropes piercing and flying endlessly, the peasant army pushed a few pieces of artillery, and then transported earth to fill the trenches, and there was a gap in the defense of the city head that was bombarded with artillery first.

Then they immediately erected a short ladder and rope, and climbed in unison, but unexpectedly, a pot of boiling incendiary ammunition and oil and water poured down, and the whole city was like a slaughterhouse.

At the head of the city, Prince Li was dressed in military uniform, with a high nose and deep eyes, and the firelight reflected the infinite coldness of his entire face.

I only heard him shouting at the head of the city: "Sons, others say that our Praetorian Guards are a group of idle sons and daughters in Beijing, today, let them see if it is!" The Lord is famous, the city is in the people, and no rebels will be allowed to enter the city! ”

The young man in the golden helmet and purple robe beside him, who was somewhat similar in age to Prince Ning, said loudly: "The eldest princess is famous, she has raised soldiers for a thousand days, and she has used them for a while. I Beiming Pengcheng Janissaries, most of them are the children of Pengcheng, and now the peasant army is wrapped up in trouble, with bad intentions, burning many merchants in Pengcheng, disturbing the people.

In accordance with the holy will of the Lord, we are now sealing the city and paying all the money, and those who shoot a hundred people will be rewarded with a reward of one hundred taels and made a captain; Whoever shoots a thousand people will be rewarded with a thousand taels and a general; Shoot the enemy general, the bounty is 10,000 taels, and the marquis! "The Praetorian Guards at the head of the city were boiling.

A drum sounded, 10,000 crossbows fired at the head of the city, arrows and stones rained down, and cannons sounded again and again.

Yu Wenchen and I glanced at each other, and we both knew in my heart that a large number of peasant troops that had been accumulated for many years had already taken advantage of the festival and other lively celebrations to sneak into the city in batches, and fought with the Praetorian Guards in the city, and the city gate was such a transportation supply point.

At present, it seems that it is in the hands of the Praetorian Guard, but such cities, ordnance warehouses, granaries, towers, etc., are all battlegrounds, and if you want to enter the city at this time, I am afraid it is absolutely impossible.

I pondered the details before and after, and after the scenes passed in front of my eyes, a thought suddenly flew into my mind, and I thought that this was the only way to go.

Yu Wenchen and I took advantage of the fact that the battle between the two armies was gradually slowing down and the peasant army was retreating to rest and wait for the continuation of the attack, and gradually approached the city, and I held the full moon scimitar and shouted to the head of the city: "Please pass on the prince of Chuanli, Fu Yannian has something important, please enter." ”

The cold glow of the full moon scimitar passed, and the soldiers of the Praetorian Guard looked at each other suspiciously, so they hurried to call Prince Li, and when Prince Li came, I hurriedly raised my head with Yu Wenchen to face it.

Prince Li understood, so he ordered the head of the city to throw down two iron cable hanging baskets, and took the two of us to the head of the city, and when I got to the head of the city, I was about to speak, but was signaled by Prince Li to wait, and then led us into the guard room of the defenders of the city.

"My aunt heard that she hadn't rescued Wang Jin in the Phoenix Pavilion, and she lost her temper," Prince Li said, "You guys are here, but do you know the situation?" Are the envoys on both sides okay? ”

"It's all right," Yu Wenchen said first, "What's the matter?" I heard that Beiming is fertile and rich, and the peasants are self-sufficient, how can there be a peasant army uprising? ”

"I can't say anything for a while," I thought that the messengers were still in that cold valley, and bowed to Prince Li.

"Many envoys from the two countries will draw a map at the end, and ask the prince to secretly send someone to answer."

Prince Li was a little puzzled, "Secret answer? ”

"This time I went to the Phoenix Pavilion, Fu Jie didn't accompany him, and-" I glanced at Yu Wenchen and paused, but I was sure that the person should not be Yu Wenchen, and the matter was urgent, so I said:

"The last general is just thinking about it himself, and he suspects that some of the messengers are secretly related to this **** person."

"In that case, how can you leave those people alone in the hands of a spy that would endanger the lives of other envoys?" Yu Wenchen said.

"General Yuwen is relieved," I persuaded, "whether it's a spy or a secret song, at this time the outcome is undecided, a spy doesn't know how well his mission is performed, and he doesn't know if he has the next mission, he won't take the risk of killing people who haven't found out about him."

As long as he goes to answer in secret, he behaves as before, and believes that he can induce this person to appear on his own. ”

"Then the king sent someone to answer the arrangement." Prince Li said, "Now there is a street battle in the city, and the war is dangerous everywhere, and the two of them are extraordinary in martial arts, but after all, they are both envoys, and it is difficult for King Chimoto to be involved in a business trip.

I also ask the two generals to rest here for a day, and tomorrow we will receive and settle the envoys, and then make arrangements. ”

After speaking, Prince Li hurried away. Yu Wenchen and I stared at each other and were relatively speechless.

After half a sound, Yu Wenchen said, "I don't believe that some of our people have anything to do with the civil strife in Beiming, and they still have the intention of sabotaging peace." ”

"Hehe," I laughed, "I'm just speculating." "I thought to myself that it was related to the civil strife, and the purpose was not necessarily to sabotage the peace talks, or it was also intended to let the envoys witness the chaos in Beiming.

In this way, it is better to settle the curiosity and goodwill of Xinyue people towards Beiming. This is the politics of the two countries, so how can there be righteousness and injustice?

Yu Wenchen was silent again.

After a long time, he sighed, "I can't control the affairs of the Beiming Imperial Hall, but I am afraid that it is not a trivial matter to see that there is a street battle in the Beiming capital, and the beacon smoke is burning on the Vermilion Bird Pavilion."

If it must be Xinyue who took the opportunity to intervene, it would not be a big mistake for the country. ”

He spoke at this time, but it was my turn to be speechless, and after a long time, I sighed, "I can say this, the general is not a martial artist, you brothers, all of them are the benefits of the three days that Shibei should be impressedβ€”β€”"

I think of Yuwenchen, the youngest son who is the most difficult to read, but the most brave, is now the Guangwu general of Xinyue, leading 100,000 troops, and being able to send an envoy, and he is also quite insightful about things, and I can't help but sigh.

Who knew that Yu Wenchen was surprised and said, "You knew me before?" No wonder you said that the sheepskin was given to you by the second brother and asked you to help him crack it, and you also know the second brother? ”

I also smiled and said, "I'm a student of General Yuwenfu, I haven't seen you, I've only heard the teacher mention it, your second brother and I naturally know each other, we are classmates." ”

After speaking, Yu Wenchen also smiled and said, "That's right, Fu Shao's nephew was originally also from Xinyue, but I forgot about it." So what do we do now? ”

"Don't do anything," I reassured him, "the things outside must have been arranged by many parties, and if we are used, someone will naturally come to us."

Since Prince Li asked us to rest here first, we just need to rest, and we don't have to worry too much. It will certainly not affect the diplomatic relations between the two countries. ”

"Hey, it's a pity that there isn't a pot of wine on the side," Yu Wenchen said, his hands expanded his chest, and his sturdy and handsome figure appeared, only to see his big hand swing behind his head, and said, "Then let's fall asleep?" ”

"Hmm." I also fell asleep on a random chair.

Unexpectedly, in the middle of the night, in addition to the sound of battle in my ears, Yu Wenchen was still there and asked me, "Hey, are you asleep?" "Hey, are you asleep?"

"Hmm" "Hmm" ...... "Forget it, don't sleep, can't you sleep?" I was teased by him, and I thought that he might not be able to sleep, so I had to sit up and talk to him.

"Are you awake?"

"Hmm"

"Are you married?"

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Not yet."

"Neither did I. The second brother is about to get married. ”

"Oh. Congratulations. ”

"I like my second sister-in-law."

β€œβ€¦ Yes? Then who does your second sister-in-law like? I felt that my conversation with Yu Wenchen was inevitably developing in a direction that had nothing to do with the intense artillery fire.

"The order of the parents, the words of the matchmaker, where do you like it or not, I heard that Beiming can listen to his own choice,

Whenever I am here, I want to be a Beiming person, but seeing that Beiming is so chaotic, I think it's good to be a new Yue person.

You have been a Beiming person, and you have also been a Xinyue person, where do you prefer to be a person? ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ This question...... Why don't we talk about your second sister-in-law......"

"Do you have a sweetheart?"

"Well, I have a fiancΓ©e."

"When will you get married?"

"I don't know yet. She fought on the battlefield. ”

"Oh, it's a female general, I heard that Beiming made the daughter of General Xiong Huaiyi a general, and also made a marquis."

"yes."

"What does your fiancΓ©e look like?"

Through the moonlight, I began to miss Qin Qing.

The scene with her in front of me emerged, and I said slowly, "She is a very strong girl, with a beautiful appearance and good kung fu, and when she first met, she beat me every day."

β€œβ€¦ It turns out that you like this taste, and the taste is very strong..."

"Later, I slowly had feelings, I can't say why, besides, there is no way to talk about feelings, I don't know where the feelings started, I go deeper, and it will be too painful to fall in and come out"

"Hey, it's a pity that the girl I like is going to be my sister-in-law. It's a joke of fate."

"It's not bad to be a sister-in-law, anyway, most of the Xinyue family has four generations in the same house, and the sister-in-law can still be seen from time to time."

"It's true. But I can't see it, Hengzhi is already a sister-in-law. ”

"Aren't you sleepy?" I yawned and said, "I'm going to sleep."

"Hmm, okay." Through the moonlight, I saw Yu Wenchen's childish pouting.

When I looked at him from here, I saw that he was seventeen or eighteen years old, but he didn't look very similar to Yuwen Yong and Yuwen Fu, and he probably looked more like his own mother, only his eyes gave birth to a standard Yuwen family's child.

Originally, he came out to go to the Phoenix Pavilion for leisure, he also wore a white wide-sleeved single robe, the cuffs of the green silk embroidered into the cloud tiger edge, see the embroidery is about the famous fairy embroidery lady in the eastern capital, I have only seen my grandfather have a blue such a style,

The python robe and jade belt, elegant as a fairy, elegant posture, reflecting his baby face in the past has a natural handsomeness.

Thinking of what he said, the mood of children in Xinyue is really common, I suddenly felt the benefits of being in Beiming.

At the very least, you can calmly pursue what you love and express what you want.

Early the next morning, Prince Li hurried over, saying that the other envoys had settled down one by one, and that they did not know where the rest of the people were, so there should be no major problem, and Yu Wenchen was also led down to settle down, while I was in a hurry to have breakfast, so I went with Prince Li to see the eldest princess.
