Chapter 145: Killing
Liu Yue'e wore a hat to cover her face and a black raincoat...... The raincoat is not a coat, but is made of feather yarn twisted into a feather yarn, its fabric is thin and straight, can prevent rain, light if a single clothes, the price is naturally expensive, only the rich will wear it.
When he got closer, Di Yong said with a confused face: "Why is Sister Yue'e here?" β
"......" Liu Yue'e was silent for a moment, and Fang said: "I came with them." β
"Oh." Di Yong smiled and said, "You talk, I'll go back first, let's see you later." β
As soon as Di Yong left, Song Duanping immediately cleared up and said, "I just found out that she came with me." β
"You don't keep your promises," Liu Yue'e said in an airy voice, "It's okay to notify me in advance." β
"That slap in public, I don't care about you," Chen Ke glanced her up and down indifferently, and said coldly: "But from that moment on, I didn't want to see you dangling in front of my eyes." After a pause, he said: "Also, this is the matter, I will go to your house to withdraw from the marriage, the Chen family is a small family, and I am not worthy of your Hedong Liu!" β
After speaking, he didn't look at Liu Yue'e, and walked towards Nanmen Street with an umbrella.
Liu Yue'e was about to follow, but was blocked by Wulang and said, "Miss Liu, please go back, my third brother doesn't welcome you." β
"Get out of the way!" Liu Yue'e let out a low cry, and the cold air was shining.
Gorou was unmoved, standing in front of her like a hill.
"Look for death!" Liu Yue'e kicked the ground and kicked Gorou in the chest.
Gorou just shook and stopped.
Liu Yue's fists and feet were as fast as lightning, and they attacked him accurately and fiercely. Gorou blocked left and right, bang, I don't know how many times he was beaten, but fortunately, he was as strong as an ox and could hold it for a while.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Vertical arch hall palace.
A pair of white and slender feet, without shoes, stepped comfortably on the ground. Those who dare to be so presumptuous in the imperial hall are naturally only the officials themselves.
According to legend, the first emperor Zhenzong had no heirs for a long time, and sent Taoist priests to pray to God. One day, there was a barefoot immortal like a dream, and after October, Zhao Zhen, the current official family, was born. There is no way to verify the legend, but the official family since the youth, four o'clock clothespin, winter does not royal furnace, summer does not wave a fan, no shoes and socks in the forbidden, only when sitting in the palace to see the minister to put on, once there is no outsider, and will be removed immediately, it is indeed very different from ordinary people.
At this moment, he was sitting barefoot on the Hu bed, and next to him was a eunuch wearing a purple shirt, with a thin face and gloomy eyes, bowing to the emperor's side, whispering something to the side.
This eunuch's name is Shi Quanbin, and he is the deputy governor of the Inner Servant Province and is in charge of the official affairs of the Imperial City Division. The Imperial City Division of the Song Dynasty, which was equivalent to the internal guards of later generations, was an authentic pro-army of the Son of Heaven and did not belong to the jurisdiction of the Privy Council. On the surface, they are responsible for the security of the forbidden area, and they are the emperor's most trusted guards, but secretly, they are also tasked with finding out information for the emperor and handling special missions.
According to the practice of temporary workers in the Song Dynasty, such an important imperial city division is naturally not exempt from vulgarity. The nominal chief envoys and deputy envoys of the imperial city are generally only used for the transfer of civil and military officials. As for the actual affairs of the Imperial City Division, the deputy governor of the Inner Servant Province or the deputy governor of the Inner City Department is generally sent to fill the position, which is called 'official affairs of the Imperial City Division'.
As the actual leader of the Imperial City Division, Shi Quanbin was naturally the most trusted eunuch of the Great Song Dynasty, but the emperor of the Song Dynasty, summing up the lessons of the Tang Dynasty's demise, had strict restrictions on the power of the eunuchs, and the ministers were also resolutely opposed to spy politics, so the Imperial City Division did not have the right to arrest and interrogate criminals, and could only secretly inquire for the emperor, and its development was naturally limited.
Despite this, at least within the capital, any wind and grass cannot be hidden from their ears and eyes. Shi Quanbin is reporting the contents of the confidential meeting to the officials one by one.
Listening to his report, the official's expression relaxed a lot, and he stroked the Duan Yan in his hand and said, "It sounds quite thoughtful, it depends on the results of the battle." As he spoke, he glanced at Shi Quanbin and said, "Don't let the news go." β
"The big official is going to unjustly kill the old slave." Shi Quanbin smiled bitterly: "Baolongtu, it was the old slave who asked it personally, and the drawings of the Bianliang waterway were also personally given to Chen Chengshi, and the group of cubs below are still in the dark." β
"That's right." The official glanced at him and said: "It's not that I don't trust him, but those nomads recruited by the Imperial City Division, many of them are from the beggar gang, this opportunity can't be missed, don't eat it." β
"The old slave doesn't dare." Shi Quanbin smiled and said: "It is too late for the old slave to be happy if he can sweep away this trouble for the big official." β
"By the way," the official paused and said, "Did you find out?" β
"Well, I'm about to report to the official." Shi Quanbin nodded, lowered his voice and said: "The one who attacked Chen Chengshi was the people from the Beggars Gang Leopard Hall, and the informant reported that they had no grievances with Chen Chengshi, and they hadn't even heard of him before. It was their hall master who said that someone above wanted this person to disappear, so he did it. β
"Who's the one up there?" The official's gaze froze.
"Well, I'm not sure." Shi Quanbin actually knew that Leopard Hall had a deep relationship with the eighth child of the Runan Palace, but he didn't want to offend the future prince, so he was silent.
The "......" official didn't ask any more questions, he sat there quietly, grabbing the hand of the inkstone, but his muscles began to erupt. Finally, after everyone stepped back. Zhao Zhen held up his favorite inkstone high, and let out a vague roar in his mouth: "I'm not dead yet!" β
But in the end, he was not willing to fall......
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Standing under an eaves near the White Tiger Bridge, Chen Ke heard a noise behind him, and saw Gorou crying and said with a sad face: "Brother, I can't beat her either......"
"Well...... Chen Ke said, "You're not injured, are you?" β
"Nope." Gorou shook his head, looked at Liu Yue'e standing under the eaves in the distance and said, "She said that if you help her find Xiaohuan, she will help you withdraw from the marriage." β
"......" Chen Ke sighed and said, "You tell her that I can help her find it, but if the person is dead, I can't do anything." β
"Oh." Gorou ran over and said a few words to Liu Yue'e, and came back after a while: "She said, yes." β
Seeing her so happy, Chen Ke was quite surprised, nodded and didn't say anything.
Probably at the turn of Shen You, Di Yong, who had changed into armor, drove over with the forbidden army of the sharpshooter battalion, and as soon as he waved his hand, the soldiers knocked on the door of the neighboring house, and they did not want to say anything about entering, and after a while, they occupied a favorable shooting position on the roof and wall. It was only because it was raining that their bows and crossbows were put away in leather bags and taken out before the battle.
"Are you sure someone will come out of this street first?" After all his subordinates were in place, Di Yong confirmed with Chen Ke again.
"Well, Blue Jiaotang has nowhere to go." Chen Ke bowed his head and said, "They don't have to wait for it to get dark, they have to get out." The information given by the Imperial City Division helped a lot, and he was so sure: "Even if they find out that there is an ambush here, they have to drill out hard." β
"Okay." Di Yong nodded, and hid under the eaves with him.
After being quiet for a while, Di Yong looked at Liu Yue'e not far away, and couldn't help but say: "I admire her for this, the dignified lady, it is very valuable to be able to persevere for a maid." β
"No one denied it." Chen Ke said lightly.
"She is the kind of person with a very cheerful personality, which is very similar to you," Di Yong said in a low voice: "If you want to withdraw from the marriage, she naturally won't say a word, but her grandfather ...... Alas, it was too tyrannical, and he didn't let go at first. Later, Ouyang Gong personally came to the door to make peace, and only then did he promise to let you come to apologize and marry your younger brother. But I didn't think about it, what was this to her? Liu Yue'e hates to marry so much? She's the laughing stock of those young ladies......"
"What do you mean by that?"
"As your mutual friend, I feel that I need to clarify and clear up the misunderstanding for you."
"Thanks, no need." Chen Ke said lightly: "I already have a fiancΓ©e at home, she won't be a concubine for others, right?" β
"......" Di Yong, this Khan, let the granddaughter of the Liu family in Hedong be a concubine, unless the sun comes out from the west.
"Isn't that the end of it?" Chen Ke shrugged his shoulders and said, "It's coming out." β
Di Yong immediately glanced aside from his idle business, and focused his attention on the canal by the side of the road, when he saw that the wide bluestone slab covering it was slowly removed, and a soaking wet man came out.
The two immediately hid their bodies behind the wall, Di Yong looked at Chen Ke, Chen Ke shook his head, took out a palm-sized Western glass mirror, and slowly leaned out of the wall.
Through the mirror, Di Yong vaguely saw that the man looked around and then retracted his head, but the slate was not covered again.
"This is a spy, and a big team will come out soon." Di Yong licked his lips and screamed as the night owl learned.
"It's ugly." Chen Ke said hesitantly.
Hearing this, all the crossbowmen took out their crossbows from the cowhide bags, loaded them with strings, and after placing the arrows, they covered the crossbows with the cowhide bags to minimize the damage of the rain to the crossbows.
The Song army mainly relied on bows and crossbows to counter the barbarian cavalry, and had developed the most complete bow and crossbow combat techniques. In response to the weakness of the slow rate of crossbow fire, they formed a group of three crossbowmen, and the three of them fired in a loop to maintain continuous damage.
So under the wall, there are twice as many crossbowmen as there are on the wall......
Xu is underground has reached the most dangerous edge, and soon, the stone slabs on the street began to move, and in the blink of an eye, at least a dozen figures emerged from the ditch.
"Shoot!" With a loud shout, the first crossbow was activated, and in the blink of an eye, it was nailed to the chest of a beggar disciple.
Immediately afterwards, the dull sound of bowstrings buzzed, and more than a hundred crossbow arrows were fired at the same time, shooting the first outcropping beggar disciples into hedgehogs.
This sudden killing caused panic in the ditch, and more people poured out and fled in all directions.
But how can the Marksman Army, who have already laid a net of heaven and earth, let them escape? A dense rain of arrows shot from all directions, rushing out of the beggar gang disciples who were not far away, and they fell to the ground one after another, screaming and wailing, and blood stained the streets red......
The people in the ditch, frightened by the horrific killing, hid in waist-deep water, terrified and overwhelmed.
"Listen to the people below!" Di Yong used the qi of the dantian and shouted: "You have been surrounded by the Divine Marksmanship, and if you want to crawl out alive, lie on the ground, anyone who gets up will be killed!" β
