Chapter 147: Uneasy
It's almost as imagined, the imperial city is indeed like purgatory, full of dead soldiers, stumps and broken arms, among which there are many people dressed as brocade guards, the city wall here seems to have been attacked with fire, the high vermilion city wall has many more traces of burning, the palace gate is also damaged, Bu Tong and Bu Yiyang got off the carriage not far away, beckoning everyone to observe in concealment.
"Don't rush in," Bu Yiyang said vigilantly, "There are rebels outside the door. ”
Bu Tong followed his gaze and looked over, and sure enough, next to the house not far from the door, there were many small figures hidden in the night shadow, and the black pressure was overwhelming, and it could be seen that there were not a few people.
"So far, Mu Hewen still has so many people at the gate of the city, I'm afraid it's to block the pursuers?"
Bu Yiyang said "um", "When a soldier acts, it is most taboo to suffer the enemy on his back, and Mu He is also smart." ”
Butong looked around,
"Brother, don't underestimate that person, when he led the troops to fight, he was more than three times longer than his brother, I'm afraid that he will be even more scheming, everyone should be careful."
Bu Yiyang gritted his teeth hatefully,
"We can't get any benefit from this big team, damn it!"
Bu Tong was also worried about this, and suddenly his eyebrows moved, and he looked back at the brocade guards and the dead soldiers behind him,
"Is there a Suzaku subordinate here?"
Everyone shook their heads when they heard this, but only a person dressed as a dead soldier suddenly spoke, "If you go back to the county lord, I was under Lord Suzaku before." ”
Bu Tong looked in his direction stunned, and said tacitly,
"Who's talking?"
January coughed lightly, "County Lord, this is April." ”
Sure enough, the people from Tang Xuanlin around him are indeed more than one month, and in April and even other months in front of him, I am afraid that there will be many lurking, Bu Tong was speechless for a moment, so he had to speak,
"It just so happens that you go to investigate quietly, but there is something like a small door, which allows people to pass and there is no entrance to the rebels, you have done things under Suzaku, so you naturally know how to do things."
Bu Yiyang frowned tightly,
"Tong'er, this imperial city is so big, when we find the entrance, I'm afraid that reinforcements will enter through the main gate."
Bu Tong looked at the figures on the other side who were moving slightly,
"There must be a lot of troops in ambush here, I'm afraid that we will have to fight for a while, and now the situation seems to be that Xuanlin and they have retreated to the back palace, and it is extremely important for us to help earlier."
Bu Yiyang nodded, "Then I hope this person can find the entrance soon." ”
April's light skills are excellent, leaving silently and coming back quickly, like a ghost, "The county lord, General Bu, there is a passage in the east of the imperial city, which can pass through people and is very hidden, but it is ......"
Bu Yiyang was overjoyed and directly interrupted him, "Where did you come from, but there is a way to go, it's just an exit for some things." ”
April's eyes sparkled in the dark night, "It was a small gate that transported the people from the palace to the mass grave in the east of the city, because it was unlucky, so the door was small and hidden, so it was not surrounded by rebels, and other palace gates were guarded by rebels." ”
Bu Yiyang was dumbfounded in an instant, but Bu Tong gathered the big guy to move,
"The most important thing now is to quickly join Master Tang, what is so terrible about the palace people who died, but they are just poor people."
Everyone rushed to the east side in the rain, April led the way in front, and pulled out a small door behind the low wall behind a pile of firewood, Bu Yiyang's eyes widened and he couldn't help but sigh,
"Your Dongchang fan is really powerful, such a hidden place, even if you look for it carefully during the day, it is difficult to find it, you can find it so quickly, it is really unusual."
April bowed his head slightly as a thank you and praise, and looked at Bu Tong cautiously in the faint morning light in the east, Bu Tong really didn't have the strength and energy to care about the identity problem now, so he just thought about running to Tang Xuanlin's side quickly.
Entering the small door is an old house, it seems that it has never been repaired, there is no door in front of the hall, only four pillars are supported, and it is vaguely visible that there are two figures covered with white cloth lying in the middle of the hall, and everyone passes through in a low voice in tacit understanding, which is considered to have entered the imperial city, and the majestic hall can be seen not far away from afar.
"Listen," Bu Yiyang straightened up, "Where did the sound of the fight come from?" ”
Bu Tong pressed his flustered heart and carefully discerned, "It's broken, it seems to be an apse!" ”
It is the place where His Majesty recuperates and lives in his daily life.
If Mu He injured His Majesty and a basin of sewage was splashed over, even if they couldn't tell their innocence, everyone hurriedly ran there along the path.
From the main hall to the apse, there are countless corpses scattered all the way, it can be seen that it is not easy for this Mu Hewen to march all the way to the obstacles, and now the brigade is fighting in front of the apse, Bu Yiyang continues to worry, "How is this good, if we rush in out of thin air, I am afraid that we will be ......injured by mistake for a while."
Butong turned his head to look at the high windows of the apse, his eyes lit up,
"Brother, do you remember how the rebels captured the front hall?"
Bu Yiyang's gaze followed Bu Tong and slowly fell on that side, and his eyes flickered.
……
In the apse, a group of night killers under the leadership of Xuanwu neatly and compactly guarded this last line of defense, there was a sudden sound next to the magnificent Golden Palace, and a young man in brocade clothes suddenly appeared in the window, and the people on the side heard the sound and moved, Xuanwu looked at the moment and quickly shouted, "Don't move!" ”
Bu Yiyang was stunned straight, and after a while, he reached out and gently removed the sharp blade that was already across his neck, and shouted to the people outside with a little fear, "Come in." ”
Xuanwu stepped forward, just saw Bu Tong climb down with his hands and feet, and opened his mouth in astonishment,
"Lord Xiaobu, the county lord, you are ......"
It was much easier for the Jinyi guards and the dead soldiers behind him to come in, and Xuanwu's face was relieved, "It seems that the mansion is safe now, and the Lord Overseer can be regarded as relieved now." ”
Bu Tong's heart moved,
"Xuanwu, he, where is he?"
Xuanwu pointed to the door and replied seriously, "The Lord Overseer and the two young generals are outside to meet the enemy, and I will wait to guard the last line in front of Your Majesty, and not a single thief will be put in." ”
"It was the county lord of Changping," a sick voice came from behind him, Bu Tong turned around, His Majesty was barely walking out by two palace people, his face was pale, he was really seriously ill, Bu Tong ran up quickly,
"I've seen Your Majesty, you're not well, let's go back and rest, we are here, there will definitely be no accidents."
His Majesty seems to be more angry than worried, "This erector, years of connivance have raised him to be so disloyal and unfilial, when has there been such an ugly thing in Kyoto City as a son taking his father's throne, the royal face is going to be lost by this rebel!" ”
Now that the army is pressing the city, this majesty is so calm, Bu Tong silently admired his psychological quality in his heart, who can sit on the throne of the king of God, and there are a few people who have emotions like Mu Hesheng on their faces, Bu Tong bowed his head in a complicated mood,
"Your Majesty must have been frightened, let's let Lord Neiguan accompany him to the back to rest for a while, the things ahead can be assured, those thieves who don't change their hearts will definitely not be able to pass Lord Tang's level."
His Majesty didn't look half worried, and looked at Bu Tong but smiled kindly and softly as usual, "Tong'er trusts Xuanlin very much now, and I think your relationship can be regarded as close." ”
Bu Tong had no reason to be in His Majesty's bottomless gentleness, at a loss, Xuanwu on the side sent someone out to report to Tang Xuanlin for the first time, and now Tang Xuanlin ran in, covered with blood, for a while like a ghost without temperature, but looked straight at Bu Tong, and after repeatedly confirming that she was fine, he made a very perfunctory salute to His Majesty,
"Your Majesty is at ease, although the situation outside is still very intense, but the front has come to report that the reinforcements have entered Kyoto City, and they will be able to rush to the imperial city without a stick of incense, Your Majesty, it will be able to last for generations."
The last sentence seemed to be squeezed out of his teeth, but Bu Tong felt that the atmosphere was a little strange at the moment, Tang Xuanlin's attitude towards this majesty, respectfully seemed to hide a trace of awkwardness, but he couldn't tell what kind of emotion it was.
His Majesty was still the same, looking at Tang Xuanlin and instructing earnestly, "Xuanlin has worked hard today, why is there so much blood on his body, but he is injured?" ”
This is also a question that Bu Tong wants to ask but is not easy to ask because of the occasion, I am very grateful that His Majesty is still on the throne now, and he can still be so sympathetic to his subordinates, and hurriedly agreed,
"Your Majesty's kindness is the blessing of the subjects, I want to come to Lord Tang to lead the people of Dongchang to support here for a long time, but are they injured?"
Tang Xuanlin bowed his head,
"Thank you Your Majesty and the county lord for your care, your subordinates are fine, most of them are covered with the blood of the rebels, and the people in Dongchang are directly under Your Majesty's orders, and it is your duty to protect Your Majesty and the inside and outside of the imperial city."
After that, he continued,
"Your Majesty, Rong Chen has retired, and the situation outside is really grim."
Bu Tong could hear the sound of the fight outside, and looked at Tang Xuanlin with some concern.
"Master Tang, why are the rebels still so stubborn?"
Tang Xuanlin glanced at Bu Tong deeply and shook his head slightly,
"If you go back to the county lord, Your Royal Highness has already calculated when the reinforcements will arrive, and now it is at the end of the road, unless you fight with your life against the water, and try your best to win a glimmer of life, if you can get a turnaround, maybe you can't say if you can turn the tables around."
Bu Tong gasped, watched Tang Xuanlin turn around and retreat, and looked at the direction he left very uneasily,
"How's that okay?"
His Majesty suddenly smiled, and let the internal officials help him back, leaving only an inexplicable sentence, "The fate of the world is really wonderful, who knows if the enemies in the previous life will be the people who are close to each other in the next life." ”
Bu Tong stood in place, a bad cold for no reason, suddenly and violently invaded the whole body, what does Your Majesty mean by this?!
