314 Luoyang flowers bloom
Li Jing was still lonely with a gun, but all the bandits showed awe and fear, they had never seen such a domineering marksmanship. The bandits are overwhelming, although Li Jing is alone, but with this amazing shot, everyone dare not step forward. Li Jing had already rushed into the battle of the bandits alone, like a tiger into a wolf pack.
The bandits surrounded Li Jing, but they didn't dare to step forward, and one of the masked bandits was beaten by Li Jing and broke his tendons, and he was mixed with a dead horse, which was miserable, and he couldn't even tell whether he was a man or a horse. When the masked bandits saw the tragic death of their companions, they were first chilled, then instantly sad, and suddenly became angry, shouting: "What are you waiting for, go up and kill!" Forgot to kill Li Jing and reward 100 taels of gold? ”
He shouted, the bandits finally came to their senses, hugged and fought, after all, they also rolled over from the pile of dead people, they were all outlaws, although they were temporarily suppressed by Li Jing, but thinking that he was a human after all, hundreds of bandits here really sacrificed their lives to fight, how could he be an enemy?
They live for money, and when they die, they have only a share of gold, so why not?
The bandits urged the horses again and again, but after all, the road was not wide, and some people had been squeezed into the weeds and rocks, while others were surrounded outside, three layers inside and three layers outside. Hearing the leader's order, some people even jumped off the horse, rolled over, and drew a knife to cut the horse that Li Jing was riding.
Although Li Jing is brave, he has been trapped by Tuan Tuan among the bandits, and he can't urge the war horse.
In just a moment's effort, at least a dozen knives slashed over, and Li Jing immediately swung his spear, only to hear the sound of clanging and choking, and more than a dozen single knives broke off and flew out without exception. But the horse neighed and fell to the ground. At this moment, the horse was hit by at least seven or eight knives, how not to fall?
As soon as the horse fell, the bandits led by him were overjoyed and shouted, "Trap him!" ”
Li Jing's face was as calm as ever, and with a poke of the spear, he flew up. The toes were connected, and they actually stepped on the back of the bandits' horses. The robbers were on horseback, and the robbers were on horseback, shouting and slashing in a hurry, but they did not even touch his coat, but almost wounded their own men.
Li Jing's kung fu, they never dreamed of it.
The bandits and horses gathered very densely, but it provided a passage for Li Jing to walk, and Li Jing hurriedly swung his spear to block the attacking blade, and in an instant he reached the outermost horse. He kicked the man under his horse, snatched his horse, and slapped it forward.
It was only a moment for him to go from being encircled to snatching horses to get out of the encirclement, and when he was far away, the bandits led by him saw him seeing the thieves in nothing, and his angry eyes breathed fire, and he ordered the bandits to chase him.
The bandits circled their horses one after another, and finally sorted out the team again, and Li Jing was already more than ten feet away.
The bandits shouted and shouted, suppressing the fear in their hearts, and relying on the strength of the crowd to chase after them. Li Jing crossed the foot of the mountain and disappeared.
The eyes of the bandits led by the bandits did not flicker for a moment, and they said in their hearts that this mountain is the flat land of Nuoda, but they did not want to chase Li Jing away, and this time they got the order, they must not let Li Jing go, otherwise they will not be able to explain if they turn around.
The bandits urged the horses to cross the foot of the mountain, and the front was really a large plain, the moonlight was polished, and under the clear light, the bandits in front of them all wanted to strangle the horses, but the backs were indescribably cold.
I don't know when, hundreds of soldiers silently appeared in front of them, half-squatting on their knees, holding strong bows in their hands, and they were already full of bowstrings, less than a stone's throw away from them!
Where did the soldiers appear, Li Jing had already prepared? When the robbers thought of this, they knew that they had been ambushed, and hurriedly shouted, "Withdraw!" ”
But Fang Cai rode the horse and galloped wildly, but he was afraid that he would run slowly, how could he eagerly rein in the horse at this time? The bandits in front blocked the view from behind, and those behind still rushed forward, but they hesitated and froze, and the bandit horse team was in chaos. But I couldn't help but get closer to the archers!
"Shoot." A deep voice shouted, thrilling in the dark night. Li Jing's expression was indifferent, and with a wave of the mixed iron gun in his hand, he cut through the darkness of the night.
I only heard a loud 'snort' in the night sky, and then an overwhelming angry arrow shot over, and the bandit fell nearly half in an instant!
People roared and neighed, and the bandits made a mess, but the second round of long arrows shot out in an instant, and the bandits suffered heavy casualties, knowing that this arrow array could not rush over, they couldn't care about catching Li Jing again, and desperately turned the horse's head, wanting to escape back from the original way.
Another round of long arrows was fired, and most of the more than 100 people had already suffered casualties, and only a few dozen bandits were left who could escape back.
After all, the martial arts of the leader were not bad, and he actually saved his life in the chaotic arrows, and the two arrows in his body were not critical, and he withdrew from the range of the long arrow attack with dozens of people, and he wanted to flee for his life. But then the sound of hooves rumbled, and a group of cavalry came out like a dark cloud in front, and the spear was waved at the head, just saying the word 'spear'!
The moment in the air seemed to be cut apart, and hundreds of soldiers threw their spears mercilessly. The spears were so powerful that they were difficult to block, and the robbers were frightened by the birds, all of whom had never experienced such a battle, and were shot under the horses by the spears one by one, screaming again and again. The soldiers drew their sabers and cut their horses, and none of the dozens of bandits escaped for their lives. Even if the masked bandit is strong in martial arts, he can't resist under the staggered slashing of the knife, and he is dismembered by the knife in an instant, and he dies without looking at it.
He is also a man of martial arts, but he is not inferior to this ruthless iron army, Rao is highly skilled, and he is really unwilling to die in the chaos without waiting for his achievements.
The general at the head ordered all the soldiers to dismount and examine them one by one, and all those who died or not died were stabbed in the throat. More than 100 bandits were still fierce and vicious a moment ago, and their efforts turned into cold corpses, but the soldiers under Li Jing looked even more ruthless, strictly obeying the orders of the generals, dealing with the corpses of the robbers like slaughtering pigs and sheep, and pulling back their spears and feather arrows.
Li Jing didn't even chase after him, he just stood in the distance, but he already knew this result.
The general walked over and saluted Li Jingshen and said, "General, none of the bandits have fled for their lives, and their subordinates have checked and understood, what will they do next?" ”
Li Jing looked at the south from afar and said in a deep voice: "Go to Changping first!" ”
He didn't even check the identity of the bandits, of course, he had already made up his mind about it.
**
Li Jing led his soldiers south to Changping County, leaving corpses everywhere, and the night wind blew and was full of coldness. After a long time, only two horses galloped from the direction of Jinyang City, and when they saw the corpses everywhere, they were all shocked on the spot.
Li Shimin was bold, and he could see the corpses everywhere, and he frowned when he was miserable.
"Chang'an hero, this is the master you are looking for? So many people were actually killed by Li Jing alone? ”
Li Shimin is a bearded man with bright eyes, but he is the famous Chang'an hero Shi Wanbao. When Li Yuan was plotting with Li Jiancheng, Li Shimin was more in contact with this kind of brave and ruthless person, Shi Wanbao was found by Li Shimin from Xijing and treated as a guest of honor, only thinking that it would be useful to start fighting in the future, but he didn't expect Shi Wanbao to use such elite soldiers to use the whole army, how could Li Shimin be satisfied?
Shi Wanbao was also greatly surprised, jumped off the horse, looked at the traces on the ground and the corpse of the dead bandit, and said for a while: "Li Jing is definitely not alone. ”
Li Shimin frowned and said, "Why? ”
Shi Wanbao twisted his eyebrows and said: "There are many hoof prints here, many people were stabbed to death by spears, and their bodies were dismembered with knives, I am only afraid that they will die from Li Jing's ambush." ”
Li Shimin's face became solemn, "You said that Li Jing still has ambush soldiers?" ”
Shi Wanbao nodded, "Absolutely!" Let's take a look ahead. When he turned around the foot of the mountain and saw that the death of his subordinates was even worse, Shi Wanbao sighed: "There is no doubt that we still underestimated Li Jing, each person here was shot at least five or six long arrows, how could Li Jing do it alone?" It turned out that he knew that we would send someone to kill him, so he ambushed the soldiers. ”
Li Shimin's face changed slightly, "You mean he knows that it was us?" ”
Shi Wanbao said strangely: "Of course, he must know that Ling Zun will not let him go, so he has a backhand." ”
Li Shimin frowned and muttered, "That's bad." ”
Shi Wanbao said angrily: "Shimin, you don't have to worry, although Li Jing is cunning and cunning, we must find Liangzi back this time." ”
Li Shimin smiled bitterly: "I'm just afraid that they will remember today, alas...... Hero, let's go back and inform my father first. ”
**
In the early morning, the air is fresh, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, and when the eastern capital is still peaceful, Xiao Buyi has already strolled on the long street of the eastern capital. He wore ordinary clothes and walked into a tea house near the river in Tongyuan Market.
The woman in black was by his side, and when he offered to let the woman in black accompany him, she did not refuse.
She may seem indifferent, but at times, she seems to be a little dazed. For Xiao Buyi's fate, or for his own fate. This woman in black still makes Xiao Buyi elusive, and he has been trying to study her as a person. But until now, he couldn't even figure out whether this woman was from the Taiping Dao.
What did Taiping Dao do when she asked her to come to him?
Thinking of this, Xiao Buyi slowly shook his head and went up to the second floor. Although bandits are rampant and the people are panicked, at least the eastern capital is still very stable. Many people are hiding in the eastern capital, thinking that there will be no more wars here in their lives.
In fact, not only the people, but even Huangfu Wuyi and Duan Da and others also think so. Although the city defense is strict, no one thinks that Wagang will really come to the door.
The eastern capital is the heart of the Great Sui, and Wagang will never make a small fuss, and he will not dare to come to the eastern capital! Since Duan Da's defeat, Huangfu Wuyi has been vigilant against Xiao Buyi, he firmly grasped the power in his hands, and used his previous influence to put pressure in front of King Yue, although he didn't say it explicitly, but the underlying intention is that I and Xiao Buyi are incompatible, don't use me if you use him, you can do it.
Although King Yue had heard of Xiao Buyi's exploits, he was young after all, and he fantasized that the idea of Huangfu Wuyi and Xiao Buyi joining forces was bankrupt, and he had no idea for a while. After all, Huangfu Wuyi and his gang have been in the Eastern Capital for a long time, and he still doesn't dare to offend them easily. But he didn't want Xiao Buyi to leave, so he begged Xiao Buyi to suspend for a while.
Xiao Buyi was not in a hurry, he was confident, and knew that change was in an instant. Secretly sighing that fame and profit are harmful, Huangfu Wuyi only sees the fame and fortune in front of him, but he does not see the imminent crisis. However, many times, the experience usually requires painful blood and tears to gain, otherwise it is not worth cherishing.
He didn't have any ill feelings towards King Yue, he felt that King Yue was just a child, every time he thought of this, Xiao Buyi remembered that Pei Mingcui had told him that if he said one day, he hoped that he could save King Yue's life. Pei Mingcui already knows a lot of things, but all the things are completely out of her control, and all she can do may be to let it go. After taking Xiao Buyi to the Eastern Capital, Pei Mingcui rarely took the initiative to find him except for a long conversation in the early morning, and Xiao Buyi didn't understand what she was busy with.
There are not many people on the second floor, and after picking up a window in Linluoshui and sitting down, Xiao Buyi gave the guy a silver bean and asked him to serve the best tea, and then leave him alone, and the rest is a reward.
When the guy saw that he was dressed in ordinary clothes, he was calm, but he didn't dare to slack off, and quickly served tea and waited from afar. Xiao Buyi poured a cup of tea for the woman in black, and said softly: "Can you drink tea except for white water?" ”
The woman who eats white rice is really strange, she lives a more frugal life than an ascetic, eats white rice, drinks white water, and rarely asks for anything else. Hearing Xiao Buyi's somewhat ridiculous question, the woman in black just nodded. Stretched out his hand to pick up the teacup, lifted the corner of the black scarf, took a sip of tea and put it down, the movements were like swordsmanship, elegant and calm.
Xiao Buyi could only shake her head, looked at the black scarf on her face, felt the contours of her face, and suddenly asked, "Why don't you want others to see your face?" ”
He asked very abruptly, originally thought that the woman in black would not answer, but he didn't expect her to say softly: "You really want to see my face?" ”
Xiao Buyi touched his chin and smiled: "Everyone has curiosity, and of course I am no exception. Actually, I want to see your face just because I feel that you are a lot like a person. ”
The woman in black was unmoved, "Like whom?" ”
Xiao Buyi's eyes were burning, as if he wanted to look through the scarf, but unfortunately, although his eyesight was keen, after all, he had not yet reached the function of perspective, and he said that the woman in black was just talking nonsense like a person.
Seeing that there was no change in the eyes of the woman in black, Xiao Buyi knew that the plan to attack the heart had failed, turned his head to look out the window, and said casually: "Like a woman I have seen before, but this seems impossible." ”
He was vague, thinking that women would be curious and would ask, but he didn't expect that the woman in black just said 'oh', and then there was no follow-up.
Xiao Buyi could only turn his head and muttered to himself: "Actually, a woman finally said that she wore a veil and didn't let anyone see her face, but there are only two reasons to put it bluntly. ”
"Which two?" The woman in black asked.
"One is that this woman is very ugly and doesn't want people to see it." Xiao Buyi smiled.
The woman in black nodded, "What you said makes sense. ”
"Another point, of course, is that this woman is as beautiful as a fairy, but she is afraid of harming others." Xiao Buyi said again.
The woman in black was silent for a long time, "Will a woman as beautiful as a fairy also harm others?" ”
Xiao Buyi said: "Of course, if a beautiful woman is seen by a man, it may make people haunted by dreams, and they don't think about tea and dinner." But if it is after a farewell, there is no time for it, won't it make the men of the world suffer from lovesickness? Therefore, if this kind of woman thinks about the world, most of them will wear a scarf, just to prevent future troubles. ”
He was talking nonsense, he just wanted to induce the woman in black to say a few more words, but he didn't expect her to be silent, and he said after a while: "Oh." ”
Xiao Buyi almost squirted out the tea, but still asked with a smile, "But I don't know what category the girl belongs to?" ”
The woman in black shook her head, "I don't know. ”
Xiao Buyi smiled patiently, "The girl said with a smile. ”
The woman in black looked at Xiao Buyi with watery eyes, "I really don't know, just because I have lived until now, no one has ever said that I am ugly or beautiful." ”
She said plainly, but Xiao Buyi was stunned for a while before saying, "That'...... You're also lonely. ”
"I'm used to it." The woman in black was silent for a moment, and then suddenly said, "Although what you said is reasonable, it is not a reason for me to cover my face. ”
Xiao Buyi's heart moved slightly, "Listen to me." ”
The woman in black looked at Xiao Buyi, "I'm masked just because I made a vow." Whoever sees my face, whether male or female, I will kill him. ”
Xiao Buyi was dumbfounded, he didn't expect to come up with such an answer, and said with a wry smile: "And such a strange oath? ”
"Do you still want to see me now?" The woman in black asked.
Xiao Buyi said with a smile: "Actually, my curiosity is not so strong, speaking of ...... Hey, what kind of aroma is this, why is it so strong and refreshing? ”
He changed the topic and said it louder, and the guy was benefited, and immediately followed: "Return to the guest officer, this is the peony blossom of the Eastern Capital." By the way, there are flower markets in the three cities today, for people to watch the flowers, if the guest officials have used tea, it is also good to see the peony flowers. ”
Xiao Buyi smiled and said: "Luoyang peony is the best in the world, I want to go and see it." ”
The guy smiled and said: "The guest officer said well, although there are peony flowers in other places, but if there are complete varieties and many types, it is really the Eastern Capital." ”
Xiao Buyi didn't dare to look at the woman in black, just afraid that if she would take off the scarf, then she would be fine, and the people in the entire teahouse were afraid that they would be killed by this woman.
"Is there one in Tongyuan City?" Xiao Buyi asked with a smile.
The guy nodded again and again, "Yes, yes, if you want to go, go downstairs and go straight north, in the direction of Shangchunmen, and then go through two alleys." But today's flower market is not as good as it used to be. It's a pity ......"
He wanted to speak and stopped, Xiao Buyi was puzzled and asked, "What is a pity?" ”
The guy looked around, "It's a pity that General Xiao can't come to enjoy the flowers." ”
Xiao Buyi was stunned, "Which General Xiao?" ”
The man said proudly: "Of course, it is the right Xiaowei general of the imperial court." ”
Xiao Buyi asked strangely, "Do you know him?" Why is it a pity that General Xiao didn't come? ”
The guy shook his head and said, "How can a lowly person like me see General Xiao?" If General Xiao is here and sees the flower market withering, most of them will be very angry, then our common people will ask him to send troops to fight the bandits. Some time ago, I heard that the imperial court sent a general to fight Wagang, but he came back with his armor off. We are all very curious, why does the imperial court not use General Xiao, but use some mediocre talents? ”
Xiao Buyi was silent for a long time, "Maybe General Xiao may not be able to repel the bandits, he may ...... Is it just a wasted name? ”
The man blushed, and suddenly reached into his arms, took out the silver beans and threw them on the table. Xiao Buyi frowned, "What are you doing here?" The guy glared at Xiao Buyi and said, "You go, I don't want your stinky money." What do you know, General Xiao has won all battles, and now in the Eastern Capital, he is the savior of our people, what kind of thing are you, how can you slander indiscriminately? When he heard the other party say that General Xiao was not good, he was so angry that he didn't even want money. Xiao Buyi smiled bitterly, he didn't expect that he had become a savior in the eyes of the people, he was moved in his heart, took the silver beans and put them in the hands of the guy, and said softly: "Then I take back what I just said, okay?" General Xiao is not a wasted person, perhaps just because of ...... He also has a hard time? ”
The guy was angry for a while, but when he saw Xiao Buyi taking the initiative to apologize, his anger quickly subsided, and when he saw Xiao Buyi's kind attitude, he was a little ashamed to say, "Guest officer, I'm also impulsive, don't be surprised." ”
Xiao Buyi shook his head, but walked down the teahouse, the guy looked at Xiao Buyi's back and muttered, "This person is also good." ”
"It's not bad." One of them drank tea and suddenly said, "If he has a bad temper, I'm afraid that ten of your heads will be cut off." ”
The guy was taken aback, "Which one is he, he has such a big right, but is he a nobleman?" ”
The man drinking the tea kept his back to the direction where Xiao Buyi was, and he didn't turn around, and said in a deep voice: "Just now, you scolded the person who is not a thing, it is the general Xiao you admire!" ”
The man almost sat down on the ground and asked urgently, "Are you telling the truth?" ”
"What am I lying to you for?" The man turned around, his face was like that of the king of the stove, but his eyes were shining.
The guy was stunned for a moment, "I'll go find him!" After he finished speaking, he ran downstairs, and no one knew what he was looking for Xiao Buyi for. The man stretched his waist and muttered to himself: "Xiao Buyi, Xiao Buyi, I followed you all the way, what are you kid going to do?" ”
**
Xiao Buyi and the woman in black went downstairs and walked in the direction of the flower market according to the man's instructions.
The closer to the flower market, the stronger the fragrance of flowers, wait until you pass two alleys, the front is cheerful, purple and red, but it is a big garden surrounded by a fence, the peony flowers in the garden are gorgeous, and they are charming. There are a lot of people in the eastern capital, seeing the peony flowers blooming, the fragrance is coming, and the depressed face shows a little smile.
Even if the woman in black has always been indifferent, when she saw such flowers, her eyes lit up, she abandoned Xiao Buyi, walked over slowly, looked at the peony flowers like red glow, purple clouds, ink butterflies, and silver beads, leaned over, and smelled gently.
Xiao Buyi looked at the back of the woman in black, and felt that she seemed to be a woman at this time, and she was just a wooden person before.
Xiao Buyi saw the flowers, all kinds of colorful, for a while also forgot the dispute, forgot the infighting, walked over, only saw peony flowers such as peach blossoms meet frost, there are peony flowers such as flying glow Yingcui, the fragrance is contained, the body and mind are refreshing, and I can't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
When he breathed a sigh of relief, he heard someone sigh among the flowers opposite, slightly stunned.
Immediately afterwards, a woman whispered: "Princess, you see that this purple gold plate is purple all over its body, without other colors, it is better than the peony in the palace." ”
The princess said after a while: "Xiaoyue, it's much better than the palace, isn't it just a flower?" ”
Xiao Yue continued: "Princess, you ...... Okay, I came out to see the flowers, you see that it is Luoyang red, that is white jade ice, it is very good-looking. And ......" Xiaoyue said this, she had already bypassed the flowers, pointed to a peony flower, and said: "This Lancuilou flower blooms on seven floors, which is very rare......"
When she said this, she was suddenly stunned, looked at Xiao Buyi, and covered her mouth.
A woman walked out of the flowers, white-clothed and snowy, as light as a chrysanthemum, looked at Xiaoyue's gaze, and stood on the spot.
People came and went in the garden, the three of them looked at each other, Xiao Buyi finally broke the silence after a while, and said softly: "Princess, I haven't seen you for a long time, and you have always been fine?" ”
Of course, a princess is a carefree princess!
Xiao Buyi never thought that she would meet her again here, and she hadn't seen her for several years, and Princess Sansso's constant sorrow had just changed from the previous sorrow to a faint melancholy.
The past scenes passed through Xiao Buyi's mind like lightning, galloping horses in the palace, seeing you at night in the Taifu Mansion, the grievances and hatreds of Jinyang Palace, and the entanglement of love at the time of parting. Xiao Buyi feels that he is a ruthless person, but he also has too many hardships.
He accepted a woman, but he felt that he owed more, and in the troubled times, don't get together more or less. Meng Chenxue hasn't seen her for a long time, Pei Beizhen guards Yiyang, and Qiaoxi is in Xiangyang. These were the three most important women in his life, but the time he could give them, very little, very little!
He is like a taut bowstring, constantly pushed forward by history, by mission, by ambition, by responsibility, and by everything, and rarely can stop! He didn't want to accept too many feelings, he just felt that he couldn't bear it. Leaving Meng Chenxue, he seemed indifferent, but he felt deeply guilty, leaving Qiaoxi, he saw Qiaoxi grow into a Tingting girl, and he was full of emotion. But when will he be reunited with them? Xiao Buyi didn't know, he suddenly envied his era like never before, at least he didn't have to lick the blood with a knife at that time, at least he could live a freehand life and do what he wanted to do, he looked forward to the end of the troubled times, he looked forward to the early arrival of the prosperous times, from this point of view, he was no different from the guy in the teahouse. He suddenly remembered that when Pei Mingcui said the word congratulations, there was deep helplessness and sympathy in his eyes, and he really understood that the two may be different on the surface, but they both have deep sadness in their bones, and there are too many helpless things for themselves, for the world, and for the troubled times.
Love is sweet and happy, love is sour and lovesick, love is responsibility, love is helpless...... He just stood there, forgetting his question, and Princess Sanssouci stood there, forgetting to reply.
Time seems to return to the time when they first met, the moment Princess Sanssouci saw Xiao Buyi, she just thought, it turns out that Luoyang flowers are blooming, and lovesickness will always be there!
**
Xiao Yue looked at Xiao Buyi and the princess, but this time she was surprisingly not talkative, but quietly stepped aside, only hoping that Luoyang flowers would bloom and be happy forever.
I don't know how long it took, the breeze blew, Princess Sanssouci couldn't help but shiver, Xiao Buyi said softly: "The weather is still cold, princess ......"
"General Xiao......" Princess Sanssouci cut off Xiao Buyi's words, "You...... Are you okay? ”
Xiao Buyi smiled, "It's okay." ”
When Princess Sanssouci saw his smile, her heart was sour, and in an instant, her chest hurt like a pinprick in an instant, what was hidden under Xiao Buyi's smile, she would never know. Xiao Buyi's smile is also a weapon, a disguise, and a kind of rejection...... "General Xiao is for the country and the people, please take care." ”
Speaking of this, Princess Sanssouci raised her head slightly, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and said softly: "Xiaoyue, let's go, let's go back to the palace." ”
Princess Sanssouci walked forward, with the fragrance of flowers, and passed by Xiao Buyi. Xiao Buyi didn't hold back, just looked at the Lancui Building, and his smile was slightly stiff.
This farewell, maybe never again, when Princess Sanssouci thought of this, suddenly heard a sharp whistle sound throughout the city, and then, the drum beat loudly, and the urgency was urgent, and she couldn't help but lose her face. This is a warning sign that there is an attack by a foreign enemy, and there are snare drums between each square, and the drums will be sounded to warn when there is an attack. The news was so fast that the drums beat loudly throughout the city in an instant. At the beginning, only when Yang Xuangan attacked the eastern capital, did the eastern capital have such an urgent alarm, and now where are the soldiers attacking?
Princess Sanssouci didn't dare to determine where it was coming, Xiao Buyi heard the urgency of the warning from the Eastern Capital, but said in her heart, it's finally here!
Of course he knew who was coming, and Huangfu Wuyi could ignore the Wagang outside the eastern capital, but he couldn't turn a blind eye. According to his intelligence, Wagang has been besieging Tiger Prison and Yanshi Ercheng since the capture of Luokoucang, and there have been signs of a large army marching towards Kim Yong City and Huiluocang recently.
And back to Luocang is only ten miles away from the eastern capital! Wagang already showed signs of starting to attack the eastern capital, but the ridiculous Emperor Fu Wuyi and others were still at a loss, but they only cared about intrigue.
The drums beat rapidly, and the people were in a mess, some were dazed, some were panicked, and some rushed out of the garden, but they didn't know where they were going, this was their home, where else could they go?
Xiao Buyi turned around, looked at Princess Sanssouci and said, "Princess, please go back to the palace quickly, the outer city of the eastern capital is weak, and the inner city is where it is safe!" "What he said is the truth, when Yuwenkai built the eastern capital, there was a distinction between the inner city and the outer city, the inner city was towering, with Xiao Buyi's insight to see the city defense, knowing that the bandits were difficult to break, but the outer city was different, the outer city of the eastern capital was a hundred squares, covering a wide area, but because it was too big, in addition to a few main city gates with reinforced city defenses, some city gates were even just bare earthen walls! can only rely on soldiers to defend, how can such a city defense withstand the heavy attack of bandits?
Princess Sanssouci heard Xiao Buyi's concern and wanted to turn back, but finally held back, and just said, "Then General Xiao take care." She got into the golden-roofed sedan chair, and the drums beat rapidly, and the whole city alarmed, not only the people were frightened, but even the soldiers were at a loss, not knowing what to do. Some soldiers rushed to the direction of the inner city, but some soldiers ran to the direction of the outer city to assist in the defense, Xiao Buyi saw it, and shook his head secretly, and said in his heart, the emperor has no way to miss the country! Suddenly, I heard the sound of horses' hooves sharply, and a general rushed to shout loudly: "I am the Huyalang will stretch his power here, Shangchun Gate is in an emergency, and all the soldiers here go to Shangchun Gate to help!" ”
He shouted, and all the soldiers gathered to follow, and in an instant, they gathered into hundreds of people, and they were about to rush in the direction of Shangchun Gate, when suddenly there was chaos in the rear, and the crying father shouted and scolded endlessly. Everyone looked behind them, only to see countless people rushing out of the streets and alleys, all holding torches.
These people came suddenly, torches were thrown everywhere, and in an instant, the city was already on fire.
Xiao Buyi raised his eyebrows, and said in his heart that these bandits came suddenly, could it be that they lurked in the Eastern Capital early, and only then did they come out to set fire when they heard the warning, and they should be together inside and outside?
Huya Lang was furious, and he didn't care about rescuing Shangchunmen, so he turned his horse's head and rushed towards the arson bandit first. He stabbed out his spear and assassinated several bandits in an instant, Xiao Buyi saw his marksmanship and nodded secretly, after all, there are still people who can fight well.
The bandits set fire everywhere, and in an instant, the fire was blazing, and when they saw Shu Zhanwei's bravery, they whistled and fled in all directions.
Shu Zhanwei didn't know what to do for a while, so he could only call on the people to put out the fire, and the drums in the eastern capital were more urgent, and there were warnings everywhere, and he only heard soldiers shouting and warning constantly.
Xiningmen is in a hurry! Jianguomen is in a hurry! The long summer gate is in a hurry! Yongtong door is in a hurry! White Tiger Gate is in a hurry!!
At this moment's time, the gates of all sides of the Eastern Capital were in a hurry, and the Wagang bandits seemed to send heavy troops to surround the outer city of the Eastern Capital on all sides!
Xiao Buyi was slightly frightened, and didn't have time to think about it, but he only heard the sound of horses' hooves not far away, and hundreds of horsemen drove over, and the first person shouted: "Wagang Mengrang is here, you will avoid it and not kill!" "Immediately, the armor on his body is Meng Rang, the general of Wagang!
"Avoid your grandma, brother!" Shu Zhanwei was furious, rode his horse forward, and ordered his men to meet him. Meng Rang was quite cunning, and in the sound of the whistle, the bandits rode their horses and passed by the Sui soldiers, but instead of confronting Shu Zhanwei, they stepped straight towards the flower garden. For a while, the horse's hooves flew over, and the purple gold plate, Luoyang red, and white jade ice turned into dirt one after another, and fell into dust. The people couldn't dodge, some were trampled to death, some were injured, Meng Rang laughed on the horse and said: "Brothers, sell your strength, what you grab is nothing!" ”
When two robbers saw the woman in black standing there alone, although she was masked, she was like a fairy, and they couldn't help but feel lustful and urged the horse to rob her. The woman in black just looked at the peony on the ground, her eyes showed disgust, her wrist flipped, the long sword was unsheathed, and she had already stabbed the two under the horse.
The bandits were frightened and hurriedly dodged, and one of the bandits stabbed Xiao Buyi with a spear in his hand, shouting angrily: "Get out!" ”
He stabbed out his spear, Xiao Buyi was as calm as a mountain, suddenly moved, reached out and grabbed the spear, suddenly jumped up, kicked the man off the horse, but did not sit on the horse. The toes were connected, and the horse's back, neck, and horse's head were stepped into the air, and he shouted condescendingly: "Xiao Buyi is here, Meng Rang will die!" ”
Everyone saw one person soaring in the air, holding a spear in his hand, and in the light of the fire, like a god, they couldn't help but be dumbfounded!
Shu Zhanwei ran from afar, saw Xiao Buyi's figure, and said in a lost voice: "General Xiao?!" ”
The flames are raging, the smoke is billowing, Xiao Buyi is shouting, looking at all directions, people take two steps in the air, condensed in the arms, as if returning to the time when the thousands of troops in the grassland are rampant and unstoppable, the intention is to move with their hearts, the strength is from the tendons, the spear flies out, like lightning and thunder into the smoke, only to hear a scream, Meng Rang can't dodge, is pierced by the spear, has been nailed to the ground with people and horses!
Xiao Buyi turned around in the air, landed on his horse, and shouted in a long voice: "Xiao Buyi is here, if you want to protect your parents, wife and children, come with me!" ”
For a time, the bandits were in chaos, and the officers and soldiers flocked forward, condensing to Xiao Buyi from all directions......
