Chapter 4: Civil strife erupts
Roar, like a beast!
Before the able-bodied beggar could discern the source of the sound, he felt a sharp pain in his neck, stumbled under his feet, and fell heavily to the ground.
"Ah!!h
Under the severe pain, the able-bodied beggar screamed endlessly.
Seeing this, the companion hurriedly pulled the two apart.
On the side, the city guards laughed. "See, these untouchables are so hungry that they eat human flesh!"
"No, no!" a richly dressed boy said with a smile: "How can this be regarded as eating meat, the meat has not bitten down the belly, work hard, if you can bite the meat off his body and swallow it into the stomach, this son will reward you with a tael of silver." ”
As soon as these words came out, they aroused laughter in the audience.
As if to verify the words of the noble son, the convulsive beggar really tore off a large piece of meat from the neck of the strong beggar and swallowed it into his stomach.
This scene finally caused panic, and several beggars who were pulling also retreated.
In the next second, the convulsive beggar suddenly rushed towards the noble son who was in a daze on the side, the speed was staggering, and he threw the noble prince to the ground in the blink of an eye, and then bit down hard.
The screams of killing pigs followed.
The city guards came back to their senses, became furious, drew their sabers and slashed at the beggar.
Something weird has happened!
The beggar continued to bite the noble son as if he was unconscious, and the noble son's screams became weaker and weaker.
The city guards gritted their teeth and slashed several times, but the beggar remained unmoved, which frightened everyone.
How is this possible?
Several city guards were stunned on the spot.
At this moment, the beggar who had just been bitten twitched strangely, and immediately, it quickly bounced up, knocking down and biting the nearby people.
This scene completely caused a huge panic, and the onlookers screamed in all directions.
The bell rang quickly on the city walls.
Countless soldiers poured into the city walls, and soon, their faces turned pale with fright.
Outside the city wall, countless people frantically rushed towards Flower City, and behind them, there were dense corpses, these dead corpses, moving extremely fast, knocked down one person in three or two strokes, looking from afar, like a torrent spreading.
In the sky, countless flying monsters galloped in, these monsters, incomplete, and even worse, almost a dry skeleton remained.
"Enemy attack!!"
With a roar, the defenders were quickly overwhelmed by the flying monsters.
Western Regions Shenzhou.
Hundreds of miles away from the royal capital, the Sichuan Jun military camp.
The Chuanjun military camp is the backbone of the external defense of the royal capital, in addition to being responsible for patrolling around the royal capital, it is also a concentration camp for new recruits, and most of the new soldiers are trained here.
Night, deep.
The barracks were silent, and the guards stood at their posts.
Suddenly, the dull pace woke up the silence, and the soldiers in tight helmets shuttled unsteadily.
The guards glanced at the general who led the army, nodded, and the general waved his hand, and the soldiers quickly poured into the camp.
"Daring, what are you doing? Let go of me!"
Soon, a famous general was escorted out, and when the general in the bundle saw the leader of the army, he roared angrily: "Huang Li, you have tied us up for no reason, what do you want? Could it be that you want to rebel?"
The leader smiled coldly and said in a deep voice: "Take away." ”
At the same time, several garrisons were surrounded by large regiments, and one soldier after another, either panicked or dazed, was escorted out.
The royal capital.
Neat and dull steps shuttled through the streets and alleys, and groups of soldiers rushed into the houses.
In the distance, the two galleys stared blankly at the scene, and with a slip of their hands, the gong fell to the ground, clattered and rolled to one side, and soon the gong stopped under a pair of military boots.
On top of the military boots, there was a strong man, and behind the strong man, there were more than ten soldiers standing silently.
The two grooms were weak on their feet and begged for mercy on their knees, although they still did not know what had happened, but it was not a good thing to look at the situation.
"Take it away. The general was not verbose, and with a wave of his hand, several soldiers quickly stepped forward to control the two guards.
The two husbands were soon escorted to a hidden house, only to find that they were not the only ones in the house, and there were no fewer men and women in the house, without exception, with panicked faces.
The door was quickly closed.
"Closely guarded, if anyone escapes, they will be killed. ”
"Yes!"
Listening to the conversation outside the house, the people inside the house turned pale with fright, and they didn't dare to gasp.
During the day, the streets and alleys of the royal capital were full of traffic, and the busy people did not know when it happened last night, except for some relatives of the missing people who went door to door to search.
Zheng Wenlong slowly pushed open the door, and his face was full of spirit.
"Someone!"
Several generals stepped forward quickly.
"Herald, uprising. ”
"Yes!" the general was overjoyed and walked away quickly.
Kingdom, it's time for a change of hands!
Zheng Wenlong thought that he would be able to sit on the throne immediately, and his face suddenly smiled.
The carrier pigeon, over the tall city wall, flew to the Chuanjun military camp.
"Report!" The guards quickly entered the account and saluted: "General Qiyu, the king has a letter." ”
"Present it. The general's heart moved.
The guards quickly handed in the secret letter.
The general glanced at it twice, smiled coldly, and then said in a deep voice: "Order, reorganize the army, and march to the royal capital." ”
"Yes!"
The guards stepped back quickly.
Shrine.
More than 10,000 gold regiments stood proudly in armor.
Zhang Xiaoxu took a deep breath and said slowly: "Demons and evil are in charge, they don't respect the temple, they don't respect the gods, we are the walkers of the gods in the world, punish the demons and evils, and defend the gods." ”
"Punish demons and evils, defend the gods. ”
More than 10,000 golden regiments roared in unison, and the momentum was monstrous.
"Go, defend the majesty of the temple with your sword, let all men know the prestige of the Golden Order, and use your iron horses to trample on all sins, the wrath of the gods, and not to be offended. Zhang Xiaoxu waved his hand, indescribably majestic.
"Let's go. The head of the Golden Regiment turned over and got on his horse.
More than 10,000 gold regiments were quickly launched, and a torrent of gold shot out.
On the avenue, a general led more than a thousand soldiers to rush to the city gate.
The captain of the city defense team was stunned for a moment, and slowly stepped forward and saluted: "I don't know why the general came." ”
General is a general term for superiors when they do not know military positions.
The general smiled coldly, did not answer, and suddenly slashed the captain of the city defense team.
More than a dozen soldiers defending the city were shocked and hurriedly met the enemy, but they were killed in three or two strokes.
The sudden change frightened the people of the city to scream and scatter, and the city gate was instantly plunged into chaos.
On the ramparts, the Overseer generals saw this and screamed in panic. "It's not good, someone is rebelling, fast... ”
Unfortunately, the Overseer general was beheaded by the lieutenant general on the side before he could finish speaking.
Coincidentally, the adjutant general's relatives and soldiers quickly took control of the city wall, and one by one put the blades on the necks of the defenders.
The sudden change stunned all the threatened soldiers, and then they were furious.
"Gao Bell, do you dare to rebel? If the commander leads the army back to the capital, he will punish your nine clans. "It was another lieutenant who spoke.
"Commander?" Gao Bell laughed loudly, extremely arrogant, and immediately, his face was full of gloom and said: "Then you have to come back, Ye Gucheng, cruel and unkind, not respecting tradition, not abiding by the ancestral system, suppressing the world, despising the temple, heaven and man are angry, we will be oracleed and support Taiwei Zheng, oh no! It is the new king who takes the throne and restores the old system, if you are willing to surrender, add officials to the knighthood, otherwise, there will be no forgiveness for killing!"
"Phew!
"Gao Bell, Zhao Dujun is bent on promoting you, but I didn't expect you to take revenge and be willing to be Zheng Wenlong's lackey. ”
"Stooge!"
The threatened soldiers scolded angrily.
Gao Bell's eyes burst into murder, and he shouted angrily: "Kill!"
Blood.
Dozens of soldiers were pushed off the city walls.
Seeing that the rest of the soldiers were silent, Gao Bell smiled coldly and said in a deep voice: "Escort down." ”
Right Prime Minister's House.
A large group of soldiers pushed the door open.
"Bold, this is the Prime Minister's Mansion, who allowed you to lead troops to break in?" the butler was furious and hurriedly stepped forward to stop it.
The leading generals didn't bother to answer, and their backhand was a knife, and they killed the housekeeper at once.
The servants in the house screamed and scurried in fright.
"Kill! Leave no one behind. The general went straight to the hall.
For a while, there were screams and rivers of blood in the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Seeing that Zhang Yi was not in the hall, the general hurriedly looked for the bedroom, study, and side hall one by one, but unfortunately, he did not see Zhang Yi's figure, so in desperation, he had to go back to the hall to wait for news.
A bloodied soldier walked in and saluted: "Captain Qiyu, I have searched all the places, but I have not found Zhang Yi and his family." ”
The general was stunned for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "Can you look carefully?"
"We've turned inside and out. ”
Zhang Yi was not in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and the generals had no choice but to order the withdrawal of troops.
The royal capital, I don't know when it fell into chaos, the mansions of the major courtiers have become the targets of the rebel army, but, just like Zhang Yi, the principal and his family all disappeared mysteriously, and the only thing the rebel army can kill is the innocent slaves and stewards.
Taiwei Mansion.
Zheng Wenlong sat proudly in the high hall, and on both sides, there were officials who flattered and flattered.
But for some reason, Zheng Wenlong always felt uneasy, maybe it was because it was so smooth!
"Report!" A general quickly walked into the hall and saluted: "Qi my king, Zhang Yi is not in the Prime Minister's Mansion." ”
"What?" Zheng Wenlong's expression changed, and he said urgently: "What about his family?"
"None of them are in the mansion, not only Zhang Yi, but also the officials and family members named and killed by our king are not in the mansion. ”
How so?
Zheng Wenlong was stunned for a moment, could it be that Zhang Yi received any rumors? Thinking of this, he couldn't sit still anymore, stood up and said, "As for the temple, the golden group can be dispatched?"
"Back to my king, I have sent troops to check on the reinforcements, and there is no reply yet. ”
For some reason, Zheng Wenlong's heart became more and more uneasy, and he said urgently: "What about the barracks?
"Returning to my king, I have received a reply, and the army is on the way, and in a few hours it will be ready to lead the army into the city. ”
"Okay!" Zheng Wenlong was relieved, even if Zhang Yi received the news and hid in the palace with the army in hand, he was fearless, and immediately, he said in a deep voice: "Order, gather troops, and attack the palace." ”
"Yes!"
In the royal capital, there was a sound of killing, the pace was dull, and the main force of the chaotic army rushed to the palace.
The people, either hiding in the wine shop and teahouse, or in the turtle house, without exception, looked angry.
As soon as the commander set out on the expedition, the kingdom was rebelled by the rebellious ministers, and the country was unfortunate!
In the house, an old man knelt on the ground, bowed his head and wept: "O god, I pray that you will protect the kingdom, please let the commander return quickly, put down the rebellious ministers and thieves, and return me to peace." ”
