Chapter 501 Empress Dowager's Decree

Zhang Gui's left leg is crippled, and he can't escape at all, not to mention that escaping from the battle is not his character. Due to his stubborn nature, Zhang Gui forcibly endured the great pain of the heavy blow to his left leg, and concentrated all his strength in his palms to try to seal the opponent's move.

It backfired, even if he was not injured, Zhang Gui was far from being Fang Chenqian's enemy, and this difference in the realm could not be made up for by perseverance.

Unyielding, rather than dying, this is Zhang Gui's belief in walking the rivers and lakes for many years.

At this moment, there was an explosion of throwing bombs next to the gate of the Powder Supervisor, and Yang Lian Zhenjia behind Fang Chenqian immediately shouted: "Big boss, go quickly." ”

As soon as the words fell, Fang Chenqian and Zhang Gui had already slapped each other hard, only to hear the sound of "bang", Zhang Gui suddenly felt as if his whole body was falling apart, his throat was sweet, a mouthful of blood spurted out of his mouth, and the whole person became a bloody person at this moment. Zhang Gui was strong-willed, and although he was dying by the other party's palm, he still insisted on standing still.

Fang Chenqian sneered and turned to leave, but when he left, he also secretly praised himself, "This Song general is also a hero." ”

Under Fang Chenqian's palm, he was able to maintain a standing posture, in addition to Zhang Gui's own extremely tough heart, he also had to thank the explosion just now and Yang Lian Zhenjia's shout.

The lethality generated by the explosion of the grenade made Fang Chenqian, a peerless master, feel timid, the kind of firearm that made dozens of his subordinates lose their lives in an instant was indeed too terrifying and overbearing, so that the explosion just now and Yang Lian Zhenjia's shout made his thinking pause for a short time, and when he made a move, he subconsciously withdrew three points of strength.

Although the time blocked by Zhang Gui was extremely short, it was enough for Yun Zhongfei and the others to rush to the gate of the outer courtyard, seizing the opportunity, Yun Zhongfei threw the second and last projectile he carried with him, although this projectile did not kill a few people, but it made the masked people who were still in the gunpowder prison tremble.

Zhang Gui sacrificed himself to block the enemy, buying time for Yun Zhongfei and the others, and Yun Zhongfei threw the grenade in time, although it was not thrown directly at Fang Chenqian, but it also helped Zhang Gui indirectly, maybe this is the so-called providence in the dark.

Fang Chenqian and Yang Lian Zhenjia led the way, how strong the martial arts of these two people were, although they were both bare-handed, but none of Zhang Gui's personal guards dared to plunder their edge, plus Wang Shangyuan and others behind were also strong in martial arts, so that dozens of guards outside the door could not get close.

Although more than 600 black-clothed people rushed out, the black-clothed men who remained in the gunpowder prison were not so lucky, plus several elders all evacuated, and the black-clothed men who had no morale were cut down to the ground one by one by the powerful Song army.

Yun Zhongfei knew that he was not the enemy of Fang Chenqian and the others, and he was worried that the man in black and his accomplices were hiding in the gunpowder prison, so he gave up the idea of pursuit. Yun Zhongfei looked back at the door, and saw that his side was completely in control of the situation, so he quickly took a few steps forward and came to Zhang Gui's side. Yun Zhongfei and Zhang Gui had a relationship, and seeing that Zhang Gui was covered in blood, but he was still standing in place, and said busily: "General Zhang." ”

Without any reaction, Yun Zhongfei's heart sank, raised his voice slightly, and shouted again: "General Zhang." ”

This time, Zhang Gui reacted, but instead of answering Yun Zhongfei, he pounced, his body fell backwards, and he fell to the ground.

Zhang Gui, who was hit hard, was completely relying on a subconscious intention to support his body, and when his consciousness "saw" Yun Zhongfei coming, he immediately relaxed, and this thought was completely dissipated.

Yun Zhongfei hurriedly checked Zhang Gui's injuries, and saw that his pulse was scattered, if there was nothing, it was obviously a thread, and he hurriedly stretched out his hand and put it on Zhang Gui's head, transfusing his internal breath into his body, although Yun Zhongfei's martial arts are not as good as Wen Zhang, Lan Yu and others, but it is also from the authentic sect of Buddhism, and it is also helpful for Zhang Gui who is wandering on the Nai He Bridge.

About two quarters of an hour later, the mentally depressed Yun Zhongfei asked people to carry a stretcher, and asked the guards who followed Zhang Gui to quickly escort the unconscious Zhang Gui back to Lin'an City.

A thousand Lin'an reinforcements from the south gate also rushed to the gunpowder prison with Zhang Heng at this time, and the Song army stationed at the south gate belonged to the Great Song Naval Division Marine Corps, that is, Zhang Gui's subordinates.

Yun Zhongfei took two steps forward and said to the general of this army: "Below is Yun Zhongfei, the commander of the imperial guard who is in charge of the guard of the gunpowder prison, the battle here has come to an end, you are temporarily responsible for the defense of the outer courtyard of the gunpowder prison, so as not to sneak attack the man in black again, enter the palace immediately and wait for the instructions of the boss." ”

The leader of the general clasped his fists and said, "Yes, Lord Commander." ”

Although the official position of the commander is not high, but the commander of the imperial guard is very different, everyone knows that the imperial guard is the personal guard of the royal family, this general of course knows that there are five commanders in the imperial guard battalion, all of them are strong in martial arts, even if their military ranks are higher than the other party, but they also respectfully accept the order.

Yun Zhongfei returned the salute with his fists, and explained a few words to the guards beside him, instructing them to take strict precautions, not to relax, let alone pursue the man in black, and to make arrangements after he returned. Then, Yun Zhongfei didn't care about the blood on his clothes, stepped on his war horse and galloped towards Lin'an City.

According to the prior agreement, Zhao Bao, Shi Yanzhi and Fan Wenhuan came to the palace gate on time after inspecting the city gates on the east, west and north. It's just that among the original four, there is only one missing Zhang Gui.

The three of them waited for a while, and then saw Lan Yu, the commander of the imperial guard, walking over with Yun Zhongfei.

After a little greeting, Lan Yu said with a heavy face: "Three adults, the gunpowder prison was attacked, General Zhang Gui was seriously injured, everyone followed Lan into the palace and met the Queen Mother." ”

In the Yanhe Palace, Yun Zhongfei told Xie Daoqing, Zhao Bao and others in detail about the attack on the gunpowder supervisor.

"First burned Phoenix Village, and then attacked the Powder Supervisor, these two black-clothed people should be together. Moreover, these people must have been Mongols or Song people who were bought by the Mongols. According to the latest news on the Xiangfan front, recently, the Mongols have been beaten by our army's firearms, and even the Lumen Mountain camp that they worked so hard to build is about to be destroyed by the artifact of our dynasty, so it is only the Mongols who are eager to destroy our gunpowder superintendent. ”

"Queen Mother Shengming." Shi Yanzhi and the others said in unison.

Xie Daoqing continued: "Ladies and gentlemen, after the changes of the official family in the past few years, our dynasty has presented a situation of national peace and security, so there can be no large-scale riots, and at present, it is the time of the Song and Yuan wars, the defense of each pass is very strict, and it is impossible for the Mongols to send a large number of men and horses into the territory of our dynasty, so the number of these black-clothed people will not be too much, this palace believes that they have no ability to attack Lin'an City at all, except for wanting to destroy my gunpowder superintendent, at most it is to destroy the hinterland of our dynasty." Next, let's discuss how to exterminate these men in black. Shi Aiqing, let's talk about it first. ”

"Yes, Queen Mother." Shi Yanzhi said, "Queen Mother, Lao Chen believes that first of all, it is necessary to immediately interrogate the enemy prisoners who attacked the gunpowder prison and find out the ins and outs of this group of black-clothed people. Secondly, inform the towns around Lin'an City and the neighboring provinces to keep an eye on them and protect themselves. Third, send capable scouts, with Lin'an City as the center, to investigate everywhere, and it is impossible for a team of thousands of people to be without a trace. Fourth, make Lin'an's cavalry ready to attack at any time. Fifth, a group of masters were selected from the imperial guards, brocade guards, the remaining armies, and the dragon's teeth as the main force to suppress the enemy. ”

"Well, guys, what else to add?"

Fan Wenhuan said: "What Master Shi said was very comprehensive, and the minister suggested that a battalion of soldiers be transferred to the gunpowder supervisor to strengthen its guard force. ”

Xie Daoqing nodded and ordered: "Okay, pass on the will of the palace, first, order Jinyiwei to go to the gunpowder prison immediately and interrogate the prisoners; Second, General Zhao Bao was still in charge of the defense of Lin'an City, and transferred another battalion of troops from the army stationed in Lin'an to the Powder Supervisor, and informed the cavalry to be ready to go out at any time. Third, order the Government Council to notify the surrounding government offices, pay close attention to the movements of the people in black, and report as soon as there is news. Fourth, along the road to Xiangfan for escorting firearms, it is necessary to strengthen vigilance and, if necessary, to send additional troops. Fifth, led by Shi Aiqing and Lan Aiqing, a temporary command office for suppressing the enemy was set up, which was fully responsible for all matters related to the elimination of the men in black. ”

"Yes, Queen Mother, the ministers obey the order."

"Also, hand over the injured General Zhang Gui to the imperial doctor, and let Hans's disciples who stayed in Lin'an have a consultation together, so that General Zhang must be saved. Okay, ladies and gentlemen, today's court meeting is about to begin, so you don't have to participate, and you should go your separate ways immediately. ”

"Yes, Queen Mother, the ministers will retire."

As soon as they received the order from the Queen Mother, Wei Xiaoqi and Suo Wuxian personally led the interrogation masters of Jinyi Wei and Yun Zhongfei to the Gunpowder Supervision together. On the way, Yun Zhongfei briefly told Xiao Qi what was going on.

"Who's the force? It's not a small one. ”

Yun Zhongfei said: "Commander Wei, it's true, the martial arts of the few people in black are extremely high, and the weakest of them is not under Yun. ”

"There are only the three major families in the martial arts and one temple and one alliance with this power."

"Yes, Yun also means the same, among the three major families, the Ouyang family and the Lin family are good friends with my dynasty, it shouldn't be them, Shaolin Temple is far away in the north, the biggest possibility is the Wu family and the Heavenly Dao Alliance."

Suo Wusoul said: "There are many masters in the Heavenly Dao Alliance, which is in line with this, but the Heavenly Dao Alliance does not have so many soldiers, and the Wu family is the same, although it has been missing for many years, it is not enough to serve the Mongols." ”

Xiao Qi said: "When you get to the gunpowder superintendent, you should know that it is impossible to leave clues for a war of this scale." ”
