Chapter 589: Sunrise
The red light sprinkled on the water, the whole river was dyed red, the sun was just outcropping, and the earth was just bright. The Emperor of the Apocalypse's fleet had slowly started, and the five thousand men and horses on both sides of the strait had already set off in the middle of the night and left for three thousand.
The Emperor of the Apocalypse stood at the bow of the ship without the slightest expression on his face, but at this time, the Emperor of the Apocalypse once again had a sword hanging from his waist. With his right hand pressing the hilt of the sword, the Emperor of the Apocalypse had a faint sense of slaughter on his body.
Chen Hong stood respectfully behind the Emperor of the Apocalypse, his face still with a smile, but the dust in his hand was replaced. This is Chen Hong's unique weapon, because he is serving by the side of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, Chen Hong rarely uses it. This whisk is different from ordinary whisks, the whole handle is longer than the normal whisk, and it is forged from the finest 100 steel. Although the front end of the handle is no longer animal hair, it is made of cow tendons, which is not inferior to steel and is difficult to cut.
For Chen Hong, this whisk has never had a chance to make a move, and it has always been stored in a wooden box in addition to carrying it with him in Liaodong. This time, after getting the permission of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, Chen Hong took it out. Although Chen Hong has practiced eagle claws, this weapon is also indispensable.
The Emperor of the Apocalypse was very calm in his heart at this time, and the emotions such as nervousness and excitement that he thought would appear disappeared all at once.
In the city of Nanjing, the city gates were tightly closed, and the streets were full of soldiers. On the road at the gate of the city, barricades were set up early, and the soldiers defending the city stood there with expressionless faces.
Several teams of soldiers in the city rode horses, holding gongs in their hands, and struck as they walked, saying: "In order to catch the violation, martial law in the city is closed, and the city gate is closed!" Miscellaneous people, etc. Don't go out on the streets! ”
Although many people still don't understand, and some have bold curiosity to come out and take a look, they are either caught by the patrol soldiers or are scared back. The whole city of Nanjing was full of rumors, and the people were panicked, and no one knew what was going on.
Many officials were puzzled. Who gave this order? How many years has there been no such thing in Nanjing, and who has such power in Nanjing? Could it be the Governor's Mansion of the Chinese Army? Wei Guogong: What's wrong? Countless questions linger in the minds of most people!
Many people have the mentality that more is better than less, of course, not the common people, but the officials of Nanjing. However, there are also a small number of officials who do not believe in this evil, and Wang Lun is one of them!
Wang Lun's official position is not low, and he is the third grade of the left imperial history! Although Nanjing's Metropolitan Procuratorate is not as good as Beijing, Zuodu Yushi is a Taoist official, and he is also the person who holds the bull's ear in the literary world! If it weren't for the anger of Emperor Wanli because of the book, Wang Lun would not have come to Nanjing.
Although in his fifties. But Wang Lun's temper was still very hot, and when he heard that someone had closed the street, he came to the door with a gloomy face.
"Master, martial law is outside, aren't you going to the yamen today?" The old butler walked over with a little worry on his face. Nanjing's time is turbulent, and the old housekeeper feels it.
"Where is all this nonsense? Prepare the sedan car, I want to see whose handiwork it is! Wang Lun straightened his black yarn. With a bit of determination on his face, he said in an unquestionable voice.
The old butler wanted to say something more. However, he was glared at by Wang Lun, and immediately swallowed his words back, turned around and asked people to prepare.
He didn't go far before Wang Lun ran into a group of soldiers, or was blocked by a group of soldiers. Without waiting for someone to reciprocate, Wang Lun had already stepped down. He said to the butler, "Let their master talk back and forth!" In Wang Lun's opinion, the people here are not even qualified to reply, but they have to figure out what the situation is first.
After a short time, a military attache came over and looked at his clothes. Wang Lun knew that this was a seven-grade general flag. For Wang Lun, this general flag of the seventh grade is not worthy of talking to himself.
"Little Feng De, I've seen adults!" There was no surprise, and Feng De knelt down in the distance, his attitude very humble.
"What are you doing on this street?" Wang Lun glanced at Feng De, who was kneeling on the ground, but he didn't speak, and asked the housekeeper on the side.
However, Feng De did not have a trace of surprise, and there was no dissatisfaction on his face, and he said: "Lord Qiqi, we have been ordered by the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies to impose martial law here!" If you are going to the Yamen on an errand, then please do it! ”
Slightly stunned, Wang Lun frowned, always feeling that there was something wrong here. However, it was not too clear, after a few glances at Feng De who was kneeling on the ground, Wang Lun turned around and walked back to the sedan chair. However, this time he did not tell the housekeeper to go to the Metropolitan Procuratorate, but said in a deep voice: "Go to the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies!" ”
"My lord, isn't it inappropriate to go straight to the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies?" The sedan chair walked out not far away, and the butler was at the sedan curtain, and asked in a low voice.
"There's nothing wrong with it, the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies dares to do this, so someone must let him do it. In Nanjing, there are not many people who can make such a big move in the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, except for Lord Qincha, who is in the Qincha. I'm going to find out what the hell is going on! Wang Lun's tone was very flat, but he was also very resolute.
In Nanjing at this time, Wang Lun was not a special case, and many officials were afraid and stayed at home. However, some officials still walked out of their homes, some went directly to the Yamen on errands, some went to the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, and some went directly to the Qincha Xingyuan.
In the Wei State Mansion, An Xiangbo glanced at the soldiers behind him, and the expression on his face was very hideous. Behind him are a thousand centaurs, their own cronies! Looking at the closed gate of the Wei Mansion, An Xiangbo raised his hand and said, "The Duke of Wei harbors the fugitives and surrounds the Wei Mansion!" ”
The soldiers in the back can be said to look at each other, although they are all An Xiangbo's henchmen, it does not mean that these people are all fools. The thousands of households leading the troops are the diehards of An Xiangbo, but the soldiers below are not necessarily all! Let them go and surround the Wei State Mansion, these people couldn't help but muttered in their hearts.
"Go! Are they all deaf, don't you hear? Behind An Xiangbo was Qianhu Chulian, and his face was a little unbearable at this time. On weekdays, he boasted a lot in front of Uncle An Xiangbo, but now he is like this. looked back with blazing eyes, and the expression on his face couldn't help but be a little hideous.
The people below moved this time, and the hundred households led the team, and the general flag and the small flag all rushed out with people. It didn't take long to enclose the entire Wei State Mansion.
An Xiangbo, who was sitting on the horse, had a gloomy and terrible face, and glared at Chu Lian fiercely, and his face was about to drip water. It's just that they surrounded the Duke of Wei, these people are so cautious, if they really fight, can they count on them?
Glancing at the other Qianhu Wei Yu beside him, An Xiangbo said coldly: "Wei Yu, your people won't be like this, right?" ”
"Don't worry, my lord, I won't! These people are all trained by their subordinates, and there will be absolutely no mistakes! Wei Yu had a strong confidence on his face, and at the same time glanced at Chu Lian defiantly!
"Call the door!" Nodding, An Xiangbo said in a deep voice. The matter has come to this point, and it can't be delayed, as the so-called opening the bow has no turning back, and the work cannot be delayed here.
However, the person who called the door had not yet stepped forward, and many people suddenly appeared on the gatehouse and wall of the Wei State Mansion. The most eye-catching thing is not these people, but the weapons in the hands of these people! Most of them were bows and arrows, but on both sides of the gate were all firearms.
"Uncle An, I really didn't expect it to be you who came here! I thought it would be someone else! You're so confused, you're so innocent! A man's voice rang out in the house, his tone full of disdain and mockery.
This sound made An Xiangbo feel like he had been struck by lightning, his body shook a few times, and he almost fell off his horse. Holding the reins tightly, An Xiangbo did not fall, but his expression became very uneasy. Glancing at the door in front of him, An Xiangbo said loudly: "Who is talking?" Hiding his head and showing his tail like this, this is the spirit of the Duke of Wei? ”
A hearty laugh came from inside, and Wei Guogong, who had a disdainful face, suddenly appeared on the wall. looked at An Xiangbo with disdain, and said with a smile: "An Xiangbo, do you really not know who your national duke is, or do you dare not recognize your national duke?" ”
"Why are you here? Aren't you supposed to be bedridden? No, you're supposed to be dead! An Xiangbo's heart was shocked, his face was full of disbelief, what was going on? When he heard the voice just now, An Xiangbo still had luck in his heart, but when he saw Wei Guogong himself, he couldn't deal with it calmly anymore!
"What can an idiot like you know? You can only be someone else's pawn for the rest of your life, do you really think you have no last resort? I don't look at what I am, and I want to fight with my country! Wei Guogong ridiculed An Xiangbo for a few words, then turned his gaze to the soldier on the side, and said loudly: "An Xiangbo is plotting against him, he is going to rebel, do you also want to rebel?" Now put down the butcher's knife in your hand, and the public of my country promises not to blame the past! ”
Regarding Wei Guogong's words, An Xiangbo didn't listen to a word! His mind is a mess now. What's going on? Could it be that Fang Shihong lied to himself? Impossible! He had no reason to lie to himself. So what's going on? A few thoughts flashed through An Xiangbo's mind, but a crazy look quickly flashed across his face.
No matter what is going on, it has come to this time, how can you be merciful? glanced at Wei Yu beside him, and said loudly: "The Duke of Wei Mansion harbored and assassinated the Qincha criminals, plotting against him, and Lord Qincha ordered him to be arrested!" Listen, everybody, rush in now! Capture Wei Guogong alive and arrest the Qin criminals! ”
An Xiangbo had madness on his face, but he knew very well in his heart that if he said rebellion, these soldiers might not dare to rush in. No matter what the reason, as long as they rush in, they will not be able to get out of it, and they can only rebel with themselves! (To be continued......)
