Chapter 197: Chen's Chaos (2)
"Yi, hurry up and listen to the notice of the Xian Palace, the Chen clan's men and horses have attacked the east gate!"
"The gatekeeper must have gone, and his mission is to keep the girl safe." The swordsman carried me up without caring about etiquette, "This place is close to the east gate, the Chen family's men and horses will pass through here first, and the girl has to go down the culvert to hide first!" ”
The rain-like arrows kept coming, and the warning drums on the arrow tower suddenly rose again, and stopped again, and stopped.
I propped myself up on my shoulders, and I saw a team in the city rushing up to the castle tower from the side.
Immediately, there was a terrible scream from the tower.
"Yi, go open the roof! Chen Heng has an internal response at the east gate! ”
Swordsman Yi put me down, and a few jumped straight down the steps. I grabbed the hem of my skirt and took three steps and made two steps, trying to keep up.
East Gate, why is it the East Gate?
yes, why not the East Gate? Chen Wei often stayed at the east gate in the name of vigil these days when he entered the palace, and his name was vigil, which actually paved the way for the Chen family to attack the east gate today! Before Chen Heng sent us into the palace, he may have been prepared for the second hand of raising troops to force the palace. Only I, a stupid person, actually thought that Chen Yi was sent by Chen Heng to kill me. Open the city gate and kill Qi Hou, what he has to do is far more important than killing me!
I rescued Chen Wei and designed to frame Chen Shizi Chen Pan for rebellion. I don't know that the Chen family really wants to rebel, but I broke the mistake in advance.
At the entrance of the culvert, Swordsman Yi used the toes of his two feet to stubbornly resist a protrusion on the roadbed, and the whole person held back enough strength. A three-foot-high opening slowly opened on one side of the copper cover. The swordsman was sweating profusely, and his muscles were bursting out, and he blushed and yelled at me, "Girl, hurry"
I grabbed the hem of my skirt and stooped down into the hole.
"Did you step on the ground?" Overhead, there was the shout of a swordsman.
"it, come down!" I stood in the muddy puddle of the tunnel and yelled at it.
"Girl, take care!" The voice of the swordsman exploded above me with a loud bang.
The bronze lid was closed again.
"Yi! You, you down! I tugged the corners of my skirt into my waist and climbed up as fast as I could, "Hey, can you hear me?" What do you stay out there for? I'll hold the lid for you, come down! "I pounded the rusty bronze top with my fist.
"It's too late! Girl, the master will meet you in Liuzhoudu, where the water is tied, you can go first! I'll help you hide the entrance. The swordsman leaned over to the hollow moire of the copper cover and said to me.
"So what do you do? Where are you going? ”
"Don't worry, girl, I'll go to the east gate to carry it for the master first!" The swordsman paused and said loudly.
"Don't go to the East Gate! Your brother is still waiting for you in Liuzhoudu! ”
Before I could finish speaking, I heard a "click" sound, and the pottery shards that had been pulled out were stuffed back again.
"Yi, don't go to the East Gate, don't go to death! Hide! "I clung to a hollowed-out cirrus cloud and shouted. But no one answered outside. Of the five people, one of them is going to stay and hide the hole from the outside. The glance that their brothers looked at each other just now was clearly a farewell look, a look of life and death.
I clutched at the rust-soaked stone bars with unspoken words, my throat clenched for a while.
The drumming on the east gate had already stopped, and those who were willing to fight to the death to sound the drums to warn Qi Hou were all killed by Chen Heng's people.
As the rusty water dripping above my head fell faster and faster, the sound of horses and cars rumbling on the ground was heard.
"Hurry up! Hurry up! Who can catch the rebellious minister Kan Zhi, and the prime minister will be rewarded with 100 gold! "Someone yelled and drove over my head, followed by a series of heavy, chaotic footsteps.
This is the cruel reality, no matter how thick the city wall is built, no matter how high the city tower is built, it can't stop the knife that comes out of the city. Chen Heng had been planning for this day for a long time, and it was impossible for him to give Kan Zhi a chance to mobilize the three thousand tigers in Linzi City. If the Linzi garrison where Qi Hou pinned his hopes had already been controlled by Chen Heng, then in today's battle, Qi Hou and Kan Zhi would be young rabbits under the claws of the tiger, and there would be no chance of winning by half a point.
Wuxian had long known about Chen Heng's secret stationing of troops, and he had already expected that he had the intention of forcing the palace, but why didn't he warn the Marquis of Qi to send more soldiers on top of the city tower? Why didn't Kan Zhi be reminded to transfer the three thousand tiger ben into the palace in advance?
I listened to the noise of the carriages and horses overhead, and suddenly remembered what Qi Hou said last night when he used the "Qi Jiang Wing" to make things difficult for me. He said that as long as he gave an order, the three thousand tiger warriors would attack the Chen Mansion and kill Chen Heng. Whether the Zhao family helps or not, it makes no difference to him.
Yes, what Wuxian wants is to make the Zhao family the benefactor of the Marquis of Qi, rather than bending down to beg him for a covenant.
Today's move to force the palace can confirm Chen Heng's crime of rebellion, and Kan Zhi should resign as the right minister if it is not good. Qi Hou was desperate in a desperate situation, and was helped by Zhao, Gao, and Guo, if he could counterattack the Chen clan in the name of begging thieves in the future, then Zhao, Gao, and Guo were the real counterinsurgency heroes.
At that time, the two countries of Qi and Jin can make another no-war pact. Without the Kan Zhi of Zhongjun, the Gao and Guo clans will become the other two ambitious "Chen Heng" around Qi Hou. From the beginning, Wuxian did not intend to let Qi Hou successfully take down Chen Heng, nor did he intend to let Kan Zhi exterminate the Chen clan and establish meritorious deeds. What he wants is not for the two of them to work together to revive the dynasty. A strong Qi state is harmful to the Jin state.
Therefore, today's earth-shattering palace change is what he really wants!
"You four on stage! Big Tooth, Ermu, you follow me! At that moment, a voice sounded above me that I least wanted to hear.
"Master Chen, why don't we go to the Xian Palace? There isn't even a figure here, why did Xiangye let us stay here? ”
"Yes, Master Chen, if you catch Kan Zhi, you can get 100 gold!"
"There were originally forty guards near Dianjiangtai, but they were all suddenly withdrawn last night for some reason. Xiangye was afraid that there would be changes here, so he let us stay here. There are enough people on the other side of the Listening Hall, and you won't get any benefit if you go, so stay with me here with peace of mind! ”
I was holding my breath at this moment, tilting my head, and putting my eyes in the hollow pupils of the beast's face to look out, Chen Wei suddenly unslashed the sword, and the sword body "clanged" just above my eyes, so startled that I almost screamed.
"Master Chen, you said that our Xiangye is so good, he is also worried about the big and small things in and outside the palace, you drink and hug the beauty every day, what is he not satisfied with, why do you have to do it to Xiangye? There is also the right minister, who said well and did well, but the people at the bottom were rude, and they did everything that lacked morality. According to me, don't take that son-in-law, kill the right minister, how good it is to sit in the court by yourself! ”
"Big Tooth, don't talk nonsense about this in the future! I can't say it in front of Xiangye! Chen Wei lowered his voice and scolded.
The man named Big Tooth seemed to pat his thigh and shouted in a rough voice: "That's what several of our brothers said, Xiang Ye is the monarch, and Chen Ye should be Sima!" Two wood, don't you say? ”
"That's right, Chen Ye should be the Sima of our Qi Kingdom! When the time comes, Chen Ye will lead 100,000 elite soldiers to Wu State and burn down the Gusu City that his husband has sent to the country! The soldier named Ermu answered the conversation and said in response.
"Uh, how did I hear that Gusu City has been burned by King Yue?" Big Tooth whispered.
"Then, then burn it again, burn it to slag!"
"That's right, then catch that woman named Xi Shi and give birth to a doll for our Chen Ye!"
"Well, well said!" Seeing that Chen Wei was silent, the two little soldiers became more and more unscrupulous, and talked endlessly.
I listened to their nonsensical nonsense, and I was anxious for a moment. Chen Wei sat here and didn't leave, what should I do when Wuxian and Qi Hou came later? The situation in the Xiuming Palace last night was unfavorable to Chen Wei, but the current situation is just the opposite, if Wuxian fights Chen Wei here, the consequences will be unimaginable.
No, you must find a way to lure Chen Yi away!
I'm racking my brains, but the two little soldiers on top have already talked about the sword of Wu and the swordsmith of Yue from the burning of Gusu City. When they were happy, they struck the brass cover above my head with the hilt of their sword. Knock knock, this bronze beast face cover instantly turned into a huge copper drum, deafening.
Holding my breath, I cautiously lifted my right leg and took two steps down. Suddenly, someone on the top exclaimed: "Master Chen, look!" There's a woman on the stage! ”
The long sword on the top of the bronze cover was taken away in an instant, and the black shadow flashed, as if Chen Zhifei ran out.
"Chen Ye is waiting for us!" The two creeps shouted and followed.
They're gone?!
I was overjoyed, and I hurriedly climbed back to the original place and put my eyes together in the hollow and looked out vigorously. With a "click", the bronze cover above his head suddenly moved.
Finished! It's been discovered!
I grabbed the wall and hurried down the stone steps. But before I could retreat to the bottom of the canal, the copper cover on the top was completely lifted, and the bright light pierced me and closed my eyes.
"Ah?"
I squinted my eyes and tilted my head, and the shirtless smiling face landed right in my eyes.
"Red Cloud!"
The person on the top jumped into the bottom of the ditch and opened his arms to me with a smile: "I know that you girl is disobedient!" ”
My nose ached, and I let go of my hand holding the stone wall and jumped down at him.
Wuxian wrapped his hands around me, took me around for half a circle, and gently put me on the ground: "It's late, I'm in trouble on the way." ”
"Here you are, where's Lu Ji?" Qi Hou, who was dressed in the clothes of the temple people, also climbed down the stone stairs at this time.
Shirtless raised his head and whistled upwards, and the entrance was immediately closed again.
"Mrs. Jun has already left first." I turned back to Qi Houdao.
"Didn't I let you go with you? Why don't you go? Shirtless said to me.
"I'm worried about you! And I told you earlier when I was in Jinyang that I would never leave you alone and go first. ”
When Qi Hou on the side heard my words, his face stiffened. I remembered that Mrs. Qi was in a hurry to escape for her life just now, and hurriedly closed her mouth.
"Chen Heng's soldiers and horses have already entered the palace, before they start to search the palace, we must escape quickly!" Wuxian found the torch he had set in advance in the culvert, lit it, and held out a hand to me, "Let's go!" ”
"Hmm." I nodded and put my hand in his warm palm.
