Chapter 64: The Rebellion of the Ten Servants (4)
"These eunuchs are all accomplices in the murder of the general, and today they have a debt for revenge! Kill them all! ”
As soon as Yuan Shao rushed into the inner palace, he immediately pointed at all the eunuchs he could see on the road. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
"Kill!"
The elite soldiers behind Yuan Shao shouted and shouted, while constantly slaughtering the eunuchs on the road.
The sharp and hard blades easily pierced the defenseless palace clothes of the eunuchs, slitting their throats.
Yuan Shao took the lead in rushing to the front, and the horse galloped through the gorgeous palace corridor, and he did not draw his sword to slash and kill every little eunuch who passed by.
Yuan Shao had to use his fastest speed to get to the people on the list at this time, those people were the big ones, and these eunuchs were just small roles, just leave them to his subordinates.
A small yellow door had just finished serving his master at this time, and was about to retreat to his dormitory, just out of the courtyard, turning the Gou Pavilion, only to see a high-headed general flying by his side, and when he was shocked, he saw the tide of armor soldiers rushing out of the corner.
The first armorer to come to the Yellow Gate was full of anger, and the Yellow Gate looked at these wolf-like soldiers in front of him in horror, just like the fierce beast at the moment when it turned from squatting to catching its prey, and stretched out the weapon in his hand.
"Ahh
With a terrible scream, a spear slammed into the chest of the little yellow door, the tip of the spear piercing out of his back, and blood splattered all over the ground.
The soldier who succeeded in killing Huangmen continued to rush towards more eunuchs, and many soldiers like him behind him were not far behind, carrying spears and skull-ring knives in their hands to kill all the eunuchs in the palace.
At this moment, the family that had already controlled the palace gate opened the palace gate widely, and the two major military camps in the west and north of the city mobilized soldiers and horses, and one army after another rushed into the palace from the open gate.
The new troops who entered the palace all received orders from the imperial lieutenant Yang Ci, Yang Ci walked into the barracks at that time, gathered the sergeants, and said: "After entering the palace, as long as you see people without beards, you can't help but say that they will all be killed." ”
"Yes!"
Then the generals rushed into the palace with their troops.
Yuan Kui stood on Yang Ci's side with his hands behind his back, and sneered in his heart: "As long as these people rush into the palace to create chaos and kill all the beardless people, then Yuan Shao will have an excuse after killing the young emperor and Liu Xie. No one knows that the two princes died because of my Yuan family. ”
There are countless palaces in the Han Palace, and the eunuchs can be seen everywhere, so the army is bleeding everywhere, from the beginning of the five hundred soldiers who attacked with Yuan Shao in the palace to kill, and now the momentum is huge, the entire South Palace can not hear the army's brutal killing and the eunuchs' painful howls, these fierce beasts wearing armor and steel helmets, rushed into the palace and rampant, hunting every eunuch recklessly.
When the palace gate was closed, they set fire to it, and when the palace wall was detoured, they tore down the wall and pushed the railing, and the delicate and beautiful palace was invaded by these barbaric groups and immediately turned into a devastated ruin.
When the bright moon was shining, a dark cloud suddenly appeared, taking away the last cold light shining on the palace wall.
Zhang Rang and others sat in a palace in the depths of the South Palace, this palace was rewarded to the Ten Standing Servants when Emperor Ling was in power, and now it is often used by them as a place for discussion, at this time Qi is going to the inner palace to assassinate the Empress Dowager He, Zhao Zhong and others are here to discuss how to block the mouth of the hundred officials tomorrow, and how to smoothly transfer the authority of the court back to themselves, although Zhang Rang sat aside with a look of losing all interest, but no one bothered, just discussed with Zhao Zhong.
said that Duan Jue had already arrived at the Queen Mother's bedroom, tidied up the short knife hidden in his sleeve, retreated the eunuchs and palace maids on both sides, and gently pushed the palace door open.
He Hou had already fallen asleep, but about a stick of incense in front of him, there was a sudden throbbing in his heart and woke up, and the anxiety was mixed with thick sadness.
"Squeak~"
"Who?" He Hou was inevitably on the phoenix bed, and suddenly heard the sound of the front door of the palace, and hurriedly got up and shouted outside the house.
Duan Jue, who had entered the main hall at this time, did not respond to Empress He's call, but after hearing Empress He's voice, he gradually slowed down and slowly moved towards the inner room.
He Hou saw that no one responded outside the house, but she heard it clearly, there was indeed a sound of opening the door, coupled with the palpitations that woke her up in the middle of the night, He Hou walked out of bed uneasily, picked up the underground palace lamp next to the bed and walked outside.
The moon is dark and the wind is high, and the originally wide palace is dark after the lights are turned off, coupled with the obstruction of the night, the palace is even more out of sight, and he can only rely on the palace lamp in his palm at this time.
The lamp is filled with fuel, leading out a wick as a fire, in order to prevent the smoke from spreading, the palace lamp is also specially equipped with a smoke pipe as a barrier, so that the light that the palace lamp can emit is more limited, He Hou at this time in front of the visibility range is only one meter, in the darkness, He Hou holds a palace lamp that can just illuminate the body, and moves forward cautiously.
No matter how small the light in the night is, it is dazzling, Duan Qi hid in the darkness and easily saw He Hou holding the palace lamp, smiled secretly in his heart, immediately took out the dagger in his hand, and walked over quickly towards He Hou.
"Da Da Da ......"
As soon as Duan Jue's feet were fast, it was difficult to hide the footsteps, the silence in the palace and there was no sound-absorbing structure, a sound of hurried footsteps stepped on the ground in the palace, the sound reached the wall of the palace and was bounced back, falling into He Hou's ears, from the first direction to the sound of all directions, He Hou listened to the rapid footsteps in her ears getting closer and closer to her, but she couldn't tell the direction from which the footsteps came.
The panicked expression immediately crawled all over Empress He's expression, she clenched the only palace lamp that could bring light in her hand, and suddenly remembered in her mind that there was a large lampstand nearby that could light up the whole palace, just like a drowning person in the sea suddenly saw a wooden boat, He Hou immediately rushed towards the position of the lampstand in her memory, and kept knocking over and knocking down the decorations in the palace on the way, but she didn't care.
Duan Jue, who was in the dark, saw that He Hou was starting to run away as if he was dead, and immediately sped up the movements under his feet, and began to run towards He Hou.
He Hou used all his strength to rush to the palace lampstand to light up the dormitory, and Duan Qi struggled to stab He Hou to death before He Hou, and the two almost started a different kind of race.
Finally, after all, Empress He is a female streamer, and there is no advantage in speed, when Empress He's hand just touched the lampstand, Duan Jue had already come to Empress Dowager He's back, and he was about to stab Empress He with the short knife in his hand.
"Bang dang!"
The door of the dormitory was kicked open, and dozens of guards in black armor rushed into the palace with high torches, dozens of torches illuminated the dormitory, and every exquisite device and furnishing appeared from the darkness, highlighting their beauty, Duan Jue and He Hou heard the sound and saw that the palace was bright again, and they all looked back at the same time. He immediately screamed and fled to the side.
And Duan Jue looked back, the door was densely packed with armor, and the leader was Situ Wang Yun, but it was Yuan Kui who knew the plan of the ten permanent servants and specially ordered Wang Yun to come to the rescue.
"Duan Jue! The traitor dared to murder the Queen Mother! ”
Wang Yun was upright, and when he saw Duan Qi stabbing at this moment, he was furious in his heart, and he scolded angrily.
Duan Jue saw that Wang Yun was leading the troops, and the Queen Mother also escaped from a distance and could not be taken hostage, so he immediately put away the short knife and jumped out of the window.
Wang Yun settled the queen mother and led the troops to protect her outside the palace.
Although Yuan Kui wants to kill the emperor, he also wants to kill Liu Xie, the king of Chen Liu, who may inherit the throne of the young emperor, but Yuan Kui will not let He Hou die so easily, at least not now, because when the new emperor ascends the throne in the future, if He Hou agrees, then it will save Yuan Kui a lot of trouble, so Yuan Kui sent Wang Yun to protect He Hou, first, Wang Yun is loyal to the Han family, and he will definitely be desperate to protect him, and he will be able to ensure the safety of He Hou, and second, Wang Yun is upright. It is one of the few people who dared to be appointed by Yuan Kuma at this critical moment tonight without informing the overall plan, that is to say, Wang Yun is not Yuan Kuma's own person, and letting him guard the Queen Mother's dormitory is just to prevent him from going out and walking around, bumping into any inconvenience, and adding to the trouble.
Duan Jue fled all the way back to the palace where the Ten Standing Servants were located.
"Duan Jue, what's wrong with you? Was the assassination successful? Zhao Zhong looked at Duan Jue and rushed in with an embarrassed look, and hurriedly asked.
"Kill the Queen Mother?" Duan Jue said angrily, "I'm waiting for my life to be gone, and I still care about what the Queen Mother is not good after!" ”
Zhao Zhong hurriedly continued to ask.
"I was about to start in the Queen Mother's dormitory, when suddenly Wang Yun led the troops to arrive, and I quickly escaped, guess what I saw?"
"It's a sea of corpses full of palaces, and a river of blood! Now the palace is full of Yuan Shao's army, under the banner of revenge, killing the eunuchs when they see them, and killing them when they see the Yellow Gate, and now they have all hit the gate of Weiyang Palace! If we don't run now, this is where we will bury our bones! ”
Duan Jue said so much in one breath, stunned Zhao Zhong, Guo Sheng and others on the side, but they didn't expect that they were still planning things in the posture of a victor just now, and they would die immediately in the next second.
"So what are you waiting for? Run! Guo Sheng stood up and shouted loudly.
Zhao Zhong also hurriedly beckoned everyone to pack up the things they wanted to bring and leave quickly, but Zhang Rang, who was sitting there without saying a word, listened to Duan Jue's words, his eyebrows jumped, and then they were locked together.
