Chapter 141: Fishing in Troubled Waters
Seeing the fire in the palace, Ma Chao immediately changed into the military uniform of the Yulin Army, and asked urgently: "Where do the Queen Mother and Diao Chan live?" Take me to the rescue, I'm afraid of change. ”
Princess Wannian was surprised, and couldn't understand how Ma Chao knew that there would be chaos in the palace, so she rubbed her little hands and exclaimed, "Come with your concubine!" ”
The two of them went straight to the Changning Hall of the Empress Dowager He one after the other, and all the way they saw that the entire East Palace was completely chaotic, the eunuchs were busy fleeing for their lives, and the two groups of Yulin Army fought desperately. In order to avoid manslaughter, Yuan Shao, Cao Ying, Yuan Shu, Wu Kuang and others divided the team into dozens of hundred-person teams to pull the net to slaughter, not looking at military uniforms at all, as long as they didn't know each other, they added swords and swords.
Ma Chao was depressed for a while, he wanted to sneak into Yuan Shao or Cao Ying's team and take advantage of the chaos to take the sheep and slaughter the two, but according to the current situation, it obviously won't work, even if he can sneak in and kill the two by surprise, his own little life will have to be finished. Besides, if someone recognizes it, it will be completely ruined.
Thinking of this, he hurriedly swung his sword and hacked a little yellow door to death, grabbed a few handfuls of blood at the wound and wiped it on his face, and the whole person looked hideous and terrifying. The two of them walked through several pavilions, gradually passed through the main battlefield and approached the Queen Mother's Changning Palace, and met Duan Wei and Xia Yun and more than a dozen forbidden soldiers who came in a hurry.
Duan Wei was about to go to find the princess of Wannian, and was pleasantly surprised when he saw that a guard had brought Liu Li over, and said urgently: "The thieves rebelled, and asked the princess to follow me out of Beijing from the north gate, for today's plan, only to rescue the Son of Heaven and the Queen Mother and rush to Yecheng to join the champion Hou Fang has a way to live!" ”
Liu Li was immediately stunned, and Ma Chao was also surprised, this group of eunuchs actually wanted to bring the Son of Heaven, the Queen Mother and others to join him, this is a good thing that pies fall from the sky! With Liu Hong's family in hand, he is the orthodox of the world, which saves a lot of effort. After making up his mind, he gave Liu Li a look.
Liu Li didn't know who attacked the palace for what, and thought that the local army had killed him! According to Ma Chao's meaning, he nodded and said, "Everything is arranged by Duan Changshi!" ”
Ma Chao was mixed in the forbidden army beside Xia Xu, and the group soon arrived at the Changning Palace, only to see the Empress Dowager He and Liu Wei hugging each other, only frightened. Zhang Rang paced back and forth, persuading: "The Queen Mother can't hesitate anymore, now that the local army has entered Beijing to rebel, the general has split up, and the entire palace is also in chaos. ”
Empress Dowager He panicked: "The general is in charge of the military power in the capital, who dares to kill him?" You guys are talking nonsense! The palace swears not to leave the palace, but to see who dares to kill the palace! ”
While he was talking, Zhao Zhong suddenly ran in hurriedly with Liu Xie on his back, followed by more than a dozen forbidden soldiers, shouting, "What are you still rubbing?" Are the rebels going to be killed here, waiting to be sent to their deaths? ”
Ma Chao looked back, only to see Zhao Yun and Pang De were among them, the two of them saw the chaos in the palace, and they didn't know which gang to help, seeing that Zhao Zhong was quite polite to Liu Xie, he thought that someone had attacked the palace and rebelled! Then he followed Zhao Zhong all the way, and killed a lot of small groups of Yulin troops along the way.
Zhang Rang was also anxious, knowing that there was no delay, so he gritted his teeth and said: "The matter is urgent, and I hope that the Queen Mother will atone for her sins!" "After that, a few middle servants took matters into their own hands and forcibly separated Liu Wei from Empress Dowager He. Bi Lan couldn't help but say, picked up Liu Xie and walked out, while Song Dian and Su Song pulled the Empress Dowager He left and right and forcibly dragged them out.
"Eunuchs! Where to go! At this moment, Yuan Shu led a team of Yulin troops and suddenly rushed into the Changning Palace, and happened to see this scene.
Zhang Rang was shocked, and hurriedly ordered: "Help!" Hurry up! Fight back this rebellion! ”
Zhongchang attendants Guo Sheng and Gao Wang immediately commanded dozens of forbidden troops, including Ma Chao, Zhao Yun, and Pang De, to meet them. The remaining Zhang Rang, Zhao Zhong, Duan Wei and more than ten people took the Liu Wei brothers, Princess Wannian and Empress Dowager He to the back door to flee for their lives.
Ma Chao saw that there were only about 100 Yulin soldiers around Yuan Shu, so he suddenly became murderous, and swung his knife straight towards Yuan Shu, just like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, he cut down more than ten Yulin soldiers in a few breaths, and blood spattered five steps!
Yuan Shu is not stupid, he only hides behind and commands, never does it himself, and when he sees that Ma Chao is brave and difficult to do, he immediately transfers people to surround and kill.
Ma Chao hacked more than a dozen people to death, but it was still difficult to get close to Yuan Shu, so he shouted: "The thieves rebelled, kill the thieves first!" Zhao Yun and Pang De didn't show their strength originally, but when they saw Ma Chao's order at this moment, they also rushed to Yuan Shu.
The three of them were like three fierce tigers, and the sharp Pu knife in their hands waved up to bring up pieces of blood, and the severed limbs and corpses flew sideways from side to side, and in a short time, they joined forces to kill fifty or sixty Yulin soldiers. The three of them were also covered in blood, dyed blood-red from head to toe, and it was extremely uncomfortable to mix with sweat, and it was dark at night, making it difficult to tell who was who.
Yuan Shu saw that the situation was not good, and couldn't help frowning, killing all the way, the forbidden army in the inner court either surrendered or was beheaded, how could three masters with one top hundred suddenly appear? Seeing that more than half of the more than 100 people were killed, he suddenly had a sense of retreat, and shouted: "Resist the general, the reinforcements will arrive soon, and they will be caught alive!" "Then he dodge and run wildly, and in the blink of an eye he will disappear into the night.
Ma Chao was dumbfounded, this Yuan Shu is too pustuated, right? If you want to run away and swagger, it's too late, why do you have to run wildly, the Yuan family, the dignified Yuan family of the fourth world and the third duke, can be regarded as lost by you. Unwillingly, with a wave of his hand, he threw the Pu knife in his hand towards Yuan Shu, hitting his right arm, and blood gushed.
Yuan Shu screamed miserably, covered his right arm and escaped from the Changning Palace. Ma Chao secretly exclaimed that it was a pity, the distance was too far, and this knife only caused him a slight injury. The three of them struggled to slash and kill for a while, and the rest either fled with their heads or were killed on the spot, and when they looked back, Guo Sheng and Gao Wang had already fled without a trace.
Outside there was still a shouting of killing, countless small yellow doors and middle yellow doors were killed in the palace, Ma Chao knew that this was not a place to stay for a long time, and said in a deep voice: "Zilong and Ling Ming quickly went to find the two princes, and after finding them, they can follow the eunuchs, as long as the two princes are not in danger of life, they don't need to take action, these eunuchs are planning to rush to Yecheng!" In addition, we must pay attention to the protection of the princess of Wannian, there will be big things to do! ”
Zhao Yundao: "What if you are surrounded by a large number of Yulin troops? ”
Ma Chao said without hesitation: "If you are sure, take them to break through, if you are surrounded by a large number of Yulin troops, you can turn against each other and kill Zhang Rang and other ten permanent servants in one fell swoop, and afterwards say that you are the subordinate of the Tiger Ben Zhonglang General Yuan Shu, you can have no worries!" ”
"The last general understands!" After the two finished speaking, they chased after Guo Sheng in the direction of escape.
Ma Chao hurriedly returned to the Changning Palace, only to see a huge palace full of messes, and the palace maids and female officials were hiding in the east of the province, holding their heads and fleeing. A few Xiao Huangmen and Zhong Huangmen who didn't have time to escape saw Ma Chao covered in blood as if they had seen a demon god, they were so frightened that they were so scared that their feces and urine flowed together, and their legs were weak!
Ma Chao didn't have time to kill these eunuchs, so he stretched out his hand and lifted a palace maid and asked, "Do you know where the Diao Chan female official and the jade seal official are?" ”
The palace maid trembled, stretched out her finger and said, "They were pulled to the back garden by the little yellow door."
Leaving aside the palace maid, Ma Chao ran towards the back garden at a gallop, and kept encountering the small yellow gate and the middle yellow gate along the way.
But it was said that these eunuchs were not willing to be captured, and tried every means to save their lives. Now the Queen Mother, the Son of Heaven, the princess and Liu Xie have been held hostage by the common attendants. They can only think of another way, at that time, there were people with flexible minds who thought of the jade seal official and the Diao Chan official, one of these two people is the female official who keeps the seal of the country, and the other is the female official who keeps the headdress and clothes in the palace, and the most important Diao Chan is the righteous daughter of the minister Wang Yun, who is about to become a noble or beautiful person of the Son of Heaven, and the use value is self-evident!
Ma Chao galloped all the way, and easily slashed a lot of small yellow doors that blocked the way, and rushed to the back garden to take a look, only to see more than 20 small yellow doors surrounding a middle-aged woman in front of a well, one of the small yellow doors fiercely shouted: "Hand over the jade seal of the country, but spare you from death!" ”
Another shouted, "Time is pressing, why talk nonsense? Kill it! With that, he swung a knife and slashed at the chest of the female official with the jade seal.
Just listen to the "bell!" With a crisp sound, the long knife slashed at the female officer's chest but unexpectedly bounced back, splashing out a few sparks. Female officer: "Ah! With an exclamation, he retreated several steps in a row under the strong force, and he was planted headlong into the wellhead and disappeared!
Ma Chao was furious, jumped out with a knife and shouted: "Eunuch An dares to commit murder? "The long knife is like chopping melons and vegetables! How could these little yellow doors stop him, five or six people were immediately cut to death, and the rest scattered and fled for their lives!
Ran to the mouth of the well to see, it was pitch black inside, and no one answered after a few shouts, so I threw a stone down, and it turned out to be a dry well! Ma Chao was depressed, how could he have time to go down the well to find the jade seal. Diao Chan was not found, the two brothers of the Liu family were still missing, and Yuan Shu was not killed.
At the moment, I was running along the garden, and after a while, I suddenly saw a group of Yulin soldiers besieging and killing a group of small yellow gates, and two young women were faintly surrounded by the small yellow gates in the corner. With the help of the firelight, who is not Diao Chan? And although the other woman's appearance is not as good as Diao Chan, she is also one in a million beauties, at least no worse than the princess of Wannian, the two girls hugged each other, trembling with fright.
The small yellow gate on the periphery tried to bargain with the Yulin army, but these soldiers could not control so much. The military order is like a mountain, even if you kidnap the emperor, you will kill it, anyway, it is none of their business, seventy or eighty people surrounded thirty or forty small yellow gates and slashed and killed.
Xiao Huangmen saw that the Yulin Army didn't buy it, and he didn't care about the hostages, so he desperately scattered and broke through. Ma Chao saw the opportunity and entered the battle group with a steel knife. Yulin Jun saw that his military uniform was the same as his own, and he worked hard to kill the eunuchs, only treating him as his own, and no one cared! In a few moments, a group of small yellow doors were killed, and the rest fled for their lives, and Diao Chan and the woman suddenly leaked in front of the soldiers. With the help of the firelight, dozens of soldiers couldn't help but be moved when they saw the two stunning beauties, and a person who looked like an officer shouted: "What do you see? The identities of these two people are extraordinary, how can they be contaminated? Zhao Tun quickly led people to hunt down and kill the eunuchs! I brought a few brothers to stay behind to protect these two women! ”
"Everyone come with me, the general has an order, and a eunuch's head can be exchanged for a thousand dollars! Kill more, earn more! The soldiers cut off the heads of the slain eunuchs and went straight to the outer court to the north. (To be continued.) )
