"Quick, rush up to Lao Tzu, you must block the door!" One of the six door leaders shouted angrily with a knife in his hand. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info There were already many people in front of and behind him, and at the door of the Ministry of Rites, I don't know how many people were rushing in with a roar in the wind and rain.

More than a dozen and six gate soldiers around Dutou rushed forward, and at this time, even if it was a mountain of swords and a sea of fire, they did not hesitate.

"These traitors really have two hits." Standing on the steps, Yang Feng couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. The traitors had apparently prepared for the worst, so they even prepared a thick log to deal with the closed gate.

No matter how strong the gate of the Ministry of Rites is, it is not a heavy gate after all, not to mention that firearms and crossbows are difficult to use in the wind and rain, so the defenders can only watch these traitors smash the gate open. What's more, in order not to arouse the suspicion of traitors, the main guards in the city are the six doors and the brocade guards, although these are also elite veterans who have been selected several times and left behind after the big waves, but after all, they are not wearing armor, and they are holding short blades, and they are indeed a little powerless in the face of the traitors who swarm to win by numbers.

But even so, the vast majority of those who fell in the vestibule were traitors.

"We don't have to worry about it here." Wen Tianxiang walked over slowly, "Ye Shilang has already gone directly to the political hall through the backyard, and the tunnel of the political hall leads to the palace city, and now I am afraid that Ye Shilang is already in the palace city." As long as there are no accidents on Zhang Shangshu's side, today is the death date of these traitors. ”

Yang Feng nodded lightly: "The main force of the Praetorian Guard, even including the heavily armored cavalry, is in the palace city, if something happens again, it will really be a person who is not as good as the sky." ”

Listening to the sound of killing coming from the front court not far away, Wen Tianxiang couldn't help but say lightly: "Does Commander Yang also believe in the Mandate of Heaven?" ”

Yang Feng was silent for a moment, and then chuckled: "Those who do this line of work basically don't believe in the Mandate of Heaven." What are the six doors and the brocade guard used for, isn't it to help the emperor change his life against the sky by creating all kinds of karmic coincidences? The emperor claimed to inherit the former Song Guozuo, and some people said that the emperor was destined to return, but in a certain opinion, he has actually been going against the sky. ”

With a shudder, Wen Tianxiang frowned and said, "Commander Yang, the wall has ears, be cautious!" ”

Yang Feng shook his head, and then said: "The sky will fall, Your Majesty will turn the tide with the power of one person and gather the world's talents. Since ancient times, there has never been a person who has unified China from the south to the north, but His Majesty has done it. The Jin people crossed to the south, the scenery is not different, Jianyan crossed the south, and returned my rivers and mountains, but for a hundred years, the war and peace, the former Song Dynasty actually did not have much advantage in the battle with the north, but when it came to His Majesty, one after another great victories followed. ”

In the wind and rain and the sound of killing, Wen Tianxiang was silent. And Yang Feng glanced at him and smiled slightly: "So Your Majesty has not actually obeyed the calculations of heaven all along, but conquered the destiny of heaven!" He has changed all this order and future fate, otherwise how can you and I have the sun and moon in front of us? ”

"Okay," Wen Tianxiang obviously didn't want to continue on this very sensitive topic, after all, whether such words were praising or belittling Ye Yingwu, once they were poked out by others, they would inevitably leave a gap in the emperor's heart. Wen Tianxiang now knows what position he is in, and he also knows what he should do, even if it is just to protect his life and the relationship between the monarch and the minister, "Let's not talk about these things for now, the reinforcements of the Divine Guard Army should also arrive at this time, otherwise we will only be killed." ”

Yang Feng raised his head slightly, and said confidently: "Xianggong Wen, listen." ”

"Huh?" Wen Tianxiang was a little surprised, but he was still calm. In the roaring wind and rain and the sound of the close fighting, there was another sound faintly mixed in. The faint roar was not thunder, but the sound of horses' hooves getting closer and closer.

And, of course, the footsteps of a large number of soldiers as they run.

Because the footsteps were mixed with the wind and rain, if you weren't paying attention, you wouldn't be able to tell the difference.

The sound of horses' hooves was instantaneous, and the screams of the rebels outside could already be heard.

A cavalryman crossed the gate of the Ministry of Rites, and the lance in his hand pierced through the chests of the two rebels. Behind him, the infantry of the brigade roared in, the blades in their hands flashing with cold light.

"The Great Ming God Guard is ordered to quell the chaos, and those who resist will be killed!" The young general jerked out his horse's lance, splashing hot blood with it.

"Rebels, no mercy!" Inside and outside the gates, on the streets, I don't know how many people are shouting.

A middle-aged general in armor strode in surrounded by a group of guards, and saw the figures of Wen Tianxiang and Yang Feng standing on the steps, and immediately laughed: "Xianggong Wen, Commander Yang, I don't see you for a day, if you don't come every three autumns, don't come harm!" ”

"Get carried away." Yang Feng couldn't help but shake his head.

And Yang Bao, who strode up the steps, said with a smile: "A certain arrived first, and this credit is naturally so-and-so." After all, there are only so many rebels, how can the soldiers of the Divine Guard and the Praetorian Guard be divided like wolves and tigers! Being able to grab a little is a little bit. ”

Wen Tianxiang also smiled: "Okay, good, General Yang's credit is indispensable." ”

Yang Bao said loudly: "A certain has already sent people to the main mansion of Dazong and Miyagi, but just now I saw the heavy armored cavalry led by Zhang Shangshu on the road, presumably the Miyagi side has also been solved." Now the Divine Guard has gone out to hunt down the hidden traitors. ”

"Six doors have been pressed and beaten for so long, it's time to let out a bad breath." Yang Feng Huo Ran walked into the wind and rain, "Come on, pass the order, the six gates and the Jinyi Guard will immediately send people to assist the Divine Guard and the Praetorian Guard to capture the known key criminals, and arrange elites at the city gates everywhere, and no one can be let go." ”

Before the words fell, Yang Feng had already turned to look at Wen Tianxiang.

Wen Tianxiang nodded, and said in a cold voice: "The Divine Guard, the Jinyi Guard, the Six Gates, and the Praetorian Guard, immediately search for the whole city!" ”

"Subordinates take orders!" Yang Bao and Yang Feng answered loudly at the same time.

————————————————————————

Wu Ge and You Xuanfu didn't expect that the situation would completely turn around in just one hour.

The Divine Guard and the Praetorian Guard have been attacking everywhere under the guidance of the Six Gates, and these wolf-like eyes and ears of the imperial court are like having eyes, accurately killing one official after another who participated in the rebellion, and as long as there is resistance, they will immediately start killing, even those who obediently raise their hands and put down their swords will inevitably be beaten, and it is obvious that they have received orders before this.

At this time, Wu Ge and You Xuanfu were striding forward in the tunnel, the tunnel was dark and damp, and the two of them had no time to take off their cloaks, so they inevitably tripped between steps, but when they heard the footsteps getting closer and closer behind them, and the sound of people constantly stepping on their heads, Wu Ge and You Xuanfu didn't dare to stop.

"How did they know, and they were clearly prepared!" You Xuan stroked his hands and feet and drilled out of the tunnel, and when Wu Ge also climbed out, he slammed the heavy lid shut, at least to buy a moment of respite for the two of them.

Wu Ge gulped his chest and gasped, after all, he was already old, and he didn't run around often, so his physique naturally couldn't catch up with You Xuanfu, hearing You Xuanfu's question, he subconsciously looked up at You Xuanfu, but he didn't speak.

You Xuan stomped his feet: "It must be someone among you who leaked secrets, and it was the one you thought you could rely on and told him all the secrets!" Otherwise, even if these Ming dogs were prepared, they would not have been able to pounce so quickly and accurately! ”

"What's the use of talking about it now." Wu Ge staggered out, "This is the Qinhuai Wharf outside Nanjing, and I have already prepared two boats outside as a back road, just in case, but I didn't expect it to be really used." ”

You Xuanfu was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "I didn't expect you to prepare a back road, very good, very good!" ”

Wu Ge shook his head a little helplessly: "Now we can only hope that Zhu Qing and Zhang Xuan can be powerful, otherwise we have two lonely boats, even if we have the ability, I am afraid there is no way to break through the blockade of the sailors, after all, the city has begun to hunt down and blockade, and the river may not be safe." ”

Now he can't take care of so much, You Xuanfu can only follow Wu Ge step by step, and immediately stepped forward and pushed open the half-hidden door. The tumbling Qinhuai River in the torrential rain was already in plain sight, and on the humble pier outside this humble cabin, two awning boats were shaking violently with the waves.

The two of them rushed to the boat, Wu Ge took the basin on the boat and scooped the water outward, while You Xuanfu propped up the artemisia pole next to him: "Cut the cable!" ”

With his hand trembling slightly, he raised the axe on the side, Wu Ge slashed it heavily, but the rope was only cut in half, and at that time, it was also to prevent the two boats from running down the water, so the binding was very strong, You Xuanfu held it hard, but the boat did not leave the dock.

Just as Wu Ge was about to come again, the door of the hut had been kicked open, and several soldiers rushed out shouting. Wu Ge gritted his teeth fiercely, the axe in his hand fell suddenly, the cable broke in response, and the boat rushed directly into the waves with the roar of the six gate guards who were chasing and killing.

When the boat kept rushing into the river, Wu Ge and You Xuanfu seemed to have been drained of their last strength, leaning against the bulkhead of the ship without saying a word. Neither of them thought that the former Song Zhi Privy Council and the Mongolian spy commander would one day flee together in embarrassment.

The two men glanced at each other, but neither of them moved. After a long time, Wu Gefang said softly: "Mr. You, let's ······ We said at the beginning, no matter whether a certain success is successful or not, Mongolia will give a certain official a half-position······"

You Xuanfu snorted: "This Wu Xianggong rest assured, what Mongolia needs now is someone like Wu Xianggong who knows everything about the southern Ming dog, Wu Xianggong will be included in the north of the court, and the Great Khan will definitely be entrusted with a heavy task." ”

Wu Ge seemed to put down the last big stone in his heart, closed his eyes and didn't say a word.

And You Xuanfu stretched out his hand and pointed to the lights that loomed in the darkness in front of him: "Is there a receiving ship ahead?" ”

Without waiting for Wu Ge to answer, the two clippers cruising on the river had already leaned up one left and one right: "The one who came is Wu Ge and Wu Xianggong?!" ”

Wu Ge was stunned, and after a moment of silence, he shouted, "Where did you come from?" ”

Hearing Wu Ge's shout, a middle-aged man's shout immediately came from the boat: "Wu Xianggong, I'm finally looking forward to you, is the city defeated?" If you don't leave now, the brothers won't be able to hold off the Zhenjiang Mansion Water Master! ”

You Xuanfu looked at Wu Ge in astonishment, Wu Ge gritted his teeth and nodded, and lowered his voice: "It's Zhang Xuan." ”

Zhang Xuan and Zhu Qing are pirates who have been wandering the sea since the former Song Dynasty, of course, unlike Zhang Mazi that Ye Yingwu once dealt with, Zhang Xuan and Zhu Qing have always been committed to robbing the rich and helping the poor, not attacking the poor, and often helping the poor people in Jiangkou, and the local popularity is very high, but the two have not looked down on the corrupt rule of the former Song Dynasty, so they have not accepted Zhao'an, and the local state government has no longer care about it because they have not done anything to hurt the heavens and reason, and the two sides are safe, and the well water does not violate the river water.

This time, the two of them were able to accept Wu Ge's invitation to contain the water division of Zhenjiang Mansion, also because they did not have much good impression of the Ming Dynasty who inherited the mantle of the former Song Dynasty, and Wu Ge tried his best to raise a lot of money in front of them, so they agreed.

When many of the men and horses arranged by Wu Ge in Beijing were defeated or even fled, they did not expect that this originally dispensable back road would actually play a role at a critical time. Wu Ge secretly shouted in his heart, this may be a blessing in misfortune.

Hearing the word "Zhang Xuan", You Xuanfu was also relieved, after all, he and Wu Ge's Ye Bian boat were floating on the river, and it was such a big wind and rain, not to mention whether it would be discovered by the Ming army's sailors, that is, he was thankful that he didn't capsize.

"Brother Zhang, it's Wu!" Wu Ge happily replied loudly.

The two clippers also caught up on the left and right, and a rope ladder was lowered. Wu Ge and You Xuanfu gritted their teeth, they didn't care about any decency and etiquette at this time, and the rope ladder in front of them was used to save lives.

Wu Ge and You Xuanfu climbed onto the not too small clipper one after the other, and the two of them no longer had the slightest strength to move their pace at this time. And Zhang Xuan said with a smile: "Quick, wait for the two ministers to get up, you can't be disadvantaged!" ”

Although they didn't have much energy to think about, Wu Ge and You Xuanfu still felt that something was wrong, but before they could react, seven or eight stout pirates had already pounced on them, tearing off the hats and robes on the two of them.

You Xuanfu suddenly roared, almost with all his strength, pushed Wu Ge into the crowd, and then held down the side of the boat himself, not caring about the three seven twenty-one overturning, only to hear a loud "plop" from under the hull, rolling up countless waves.

And Wu Ge was tied up by the pirates who rushed up.

"Zhang Xuan, what do you want to ······?" Wu Ge barely raised his head and shouted.

It's just that his voice stopped abruptly, because the person standing behind Zhang Xuan was very familiar to him, it was the commander of the Jiangfu Navy Division in Zhenjiang Mansion of the Ming Dynasty, and Zhang Shun, the commander of the army. (Author's note: The system of inland river division and offshore navy remains unchanged, but the corresponding rank of land division becomes "leader xx rank")

Squatting down and glancing at Wu Ge, who was like a dead dog, Zhang Shun chuckled and said: "Maybe Wu Xianggong didn't know that as early as half a month ago, Zhang and Zhu were already the generals of my Daming Water Division, but I didn't expect Wu Xianggong to want to question the loyalty of the two generals." ”

Wu Ge muttered: "Zhang Xuan, Zhu Qing, I didn't expect you to be such a person!" ”

Zhang Xuan's face suddenly showed a look of embarrassment, he was originally known for his heroic name, and Wu Ge's words obviously accused him of being untrustworthy, which made him feel a little uncomfortable in his heart.

And Zhang Shun kicked Wu Ge fiercely, and said with a sneer: "The sailor fleet of the two generals, Zhang and Zhu, is used to maintain the safety of this side, and even to fight bloody battles in the south and north, these good men with blood in their chests are hot, how can they follow you to do such a dirty and obscene thing!" ”

Zhang Shun's voice did not fall, not only Zhang Xuan, but also the surrounding crew soldiers also subconsciously straightened their chests. Yes, if you want to talk about betrayal and real traitors, who can compare to Wu Ge? If the big boss had followed this Wu Ge, everyone would have been buried in the belly of the fish by now.

"The commander, it's a shame to let another person escape." Zhang Xuan's face was hot at this time, and he said with some embarrassment. It's a shame that a group of strong men under his command can't stand two people!

Zhang Shun sneered and looked up at the vast wind and rain: "This mighty river is in such a heavy rain, the water is turbulent, can he really run away?" We have set up two convoy blocking lines not far away, and there are the rest of the sailors and a brigade of Divine Guards patrolling back and forth on the north and south shores. ”

Zhang Xuan nodded immediately.

In the wind and rain, the entire city of Nanjing and this big river are like a big urn full of boiling water, and now what they have to do is to wait for Qing to enter the urn! (To be continued.) )
