Chapter 117: Curtain call
Cao Ming took An Min and Ma Qiu to the Xuanshu Palace, and now the most important thing is to rescue the saint, and then solve Guo Yan by the way.
Ma Qiu was holding a box and wanted to open it for Cao Ming to see: "Senior sister, I didn't have any problems with cutting, do you want to take a look?" ”
"Get out!" Cao Ming raised his hand and wanted to punch Ma Qiu, but the other party knew that it contained a human head, but he deliberately wanted to open the box to scare himself, isn't this itchy.
Ma Qiu had been prepared for a long time, and easily dodged the attack, but he obviously didn't pay attention to his back, and hit the wall without paying attention, and because of the force of the impact, the person almost fainted in pain.
"Well deserved!" Cao Ming glared at Ma Qiu, thinking that this is retribution, so that you have nothing to do, especially bullying women.
"What a ruthless hiss!" Ma Qiu touched the back of his head and found that a big bag was swollen, and this time the loss was big.
At this time, An Min came up with a sentence: "You rushed over like this, do you have a weapon in your hand?" ”
Cao Ming was stunned and looked at Ma Qiu: "Okay, don't act there, take out the weapon quickly." ”
Cao Ming remembered that Ma Qiu entered the palace with a knife, and there should be a lot of weapons in his hands, so how could he say that he only had a dagger.
Ma Qiu smiled and said, "I'm just a dagger, and I don't have any other weapons, why don't you search for it again?" ”
Cao Ming just wanted to search, but his hand retracted again: "Now that the eyebrows are burning, don't you joke?" ”
Ma Qiu's face turned red: "There is a short knife, hidden in my pants, if you don't mind." ”
Ma Qiu said it quite tactfully, if he said it more bluntly, he had intimate contact with the two brothers.
Cao Ming's face twitched: "Count yourself powerful, give me the dagger, and use the short knife yourself!" ”
Cao Ming looked at Ma Qiu with disgust. I'd rather go to the crowd and grab a weapon than touch the short knife full of strange smells.
Ma Qiu handed the dagger to Cao Ming, and said with a gesture: "Senior sister, when I take the knife, you have to turn around." ”
Cao Ming turned his back and said, "I don't look at you, take it out quickly." Don't keep me waiting. ”
At the same time, Cao Cao led five hundred horsemen into the city, followed by a team carrying grain, and everything seemed very normal.
"Close the gates!" With the shouts of the Xiliang guards, Cao Cao drew the sword at his waist, and the battle to capture the city officially began.
The cavalry in front drew their swords and slashed and slashed, and the grain transport team in the rear was in charge of the city gate and prepared for the large army to enter the city.
"Boom!" A black cloud suddenly appeared on the horizon, moving at an astonishing speed. It was the cavalry army that followed.
"Retreat!" The Xiliang army at the city gate tower knew that the general situation had gone, so some people threw away the knives in their hands and surrendered, and some people ran to the barracks to move rescue soldiers.
However, for an army that has lost its command, all resistance is in vain to increase casualties, and defeat is only a matter of time.
In the Xuanshu Palace, Guo Yan was pacing and waiting for news, and the herald had been gone for almost an hour, and it stands to reason that he should have come back to resume his life. The only possibility is that something has happened.
"The Queen Mother has arrived!" A eunuch pulled his throat and opened the door of the Xuanshu Hall for Cao Ming.
Guo Yan stopped. He waved his hand and said, "Come on, tie up the queen for me, I'll keep it useful." ”
"Guo Yan, you are so bold, I" As soon as Liu Xie wanted to speak out, he felt a chill on his neck, and it turned out that the soldier next to him pulled out a knife. Resting on his neck.
Cao Ming gestured to Ma Qiu, and then said, "General Guo, don't get excited, I've already killed Li Dao, do you want to tie me up?" ”
Ma Qiu opened the box in his hand and handed it to the armor soldier beside him. The armor soldier handed over the box to Guo Yan to see, and it was indeed Li Wei's head.
Guo Yan smiled and said: "Yes, Niangniang has indeed made a meritorious service, then please sit on it and wait for me to announce an important matter." ”
Cao Ming sat down with Liu Xie according to Guo Yan's request, and now it was too late to let Ma Qiu deliver the letter, so he could only take one step at a time.
Liu Xie whispered: "Empress, if something happens later, you have to protect me." ”
Liu Xie knew that something was going to happen today, and now the only sustenance was on Cao Ming alone.
Cao Ming held Liu Xie's hand and said, "Don't worry, there will be no problem with me, do you know what happened?" ”
Cao Ming thought to himself that since the plan had been disrupted, he would act according to the chaotic method first, even if Guo Yan was confused, it would be impossible to kill the emperor.
Liu Xie thought for a while and said, "I don't know much, it seems that Li Dao sent people to attack Guo Yan's grain transportation team, and Cao Cao is here." ”
"Yes" Cao Ming tried her best to be calm, in fact, her heart had already blossomed, and this time the scales were finally biased towards herself.
Guo Yan stood in the middle of the Xuanshu Hall and said with a smile: "All of you adults know that Li Dao is dead, and the entire Chang'an City belongs."
"It's not bad!" A voice interrupted Guo Yan's conversation, and he saw a bloodstained armor soldier staggering into the Xuanshu Hall.
Guo Yan's face changed greatly: "Don't panic, if Li Wei's subordinates rebel, they will be suppressed by force." ”
The armor soldier rubbed his eyes, and his voice was choked, and he said, "All the military camps have chosen to surrender!" General, you'd better run! ”
"What's going on?" After hearing this, Guo Yan felt that the situation was not right, even if Li Wei's subordinates counterattacked quickly, it would be impossible to make the defenders in the city surrender.
The armor gritted his teeth and said, "It's Cao Cao!" Cao Cao led the troops in, and the military camps were unwilling to continue to resist after receiving the benefits of the queen before, and now they all surrendered. ”
The words of the armor soldier were like five thunderbolts, shattering the last hope in Guo Yan's heart, and it seemed that everything had been lost.
"Someone!" Guo Yan pulled out the saber on his waist and wanted to make a last stand, no matter what the final result was, he would not choose to surrender.
"Bang dang!" The doors of the palace were all knocked down, and a large number of armor soldiers poured in, surrounding the hundred officials and the emperor.
Cao Ming's heart tightened: "General Guo, since the matter is irreparable, you can ask the Holy Lord for forgiveness." ”
Guo Yan pointed a knife at Cao Ming and said: "Anyway, I have no way out, before I die, I will pull a cushion on my back, and someone will shoot her to death." ”
More than a dozen archers aimed at Cao Ming, but because Liu Xie was too close to her, they didn't dare to release it easily.
Cao Ming grabbed the other party's heart and hugged Liu Xie tightly: "Holy Lord!" They want to kill the concubines, and the concubines are so afraid! ”
Ma Qiu was happy and angry at this time, happy that Cao Ming's life could be saved, and angry because the person he hugged was not himself.
Liu Xie found that the arrow was pointing at him, and hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Are you crazy?" Even I want to kill me, do you really want to be that rebel thief? ”
The archers were at a loss for a while, knowing that killing the emperor was a big crime, and that was to exterminate the nine clans, and who had no relatives and friends.
"Don't be afraid, the minister is here to help!" Cao Cao held a long sword and surrounded the Xuanshu Hall with armor soldiers, and it was difficult for even a fly to fly out. (To be continued.) )
