Chapter 143: Rebellion (II)
Chun Tao was about to stutter, "Miss, Miss, let's go to Madame's yard quickly, don't ...... outside"
Butong smacked his lips and smiled helplessly,
"Xu Ninghe, I still met it in the end, this fate really can't get rid of it."
Chun Tao was puzzled, "Who is Xu Ning, isn't it the traitor that Fang just talked about in January?" ”
Bu Tong wanted to stretch his waist, but he couldn't open the wound, but he was a little eager to try.
"It's fun to be able to encounter it again now."
In the previous life, the sting pain of the wind and sand blowing on the wound in the tea pavilion in the suburbs of Beijing is still vivid, Bu Tong only felt the pain on his body, but it was more clear and painful, it turned out that the person he was going to meet in the end, even if he was staggered at the beginning, he would still meet in a different appearance later.
There was a sound at the gate of the courtyard, Bu Tong turned to look, not wanting to involve the wound on his shoulder, he grinned in pain, and was surprised.
"Wu Thirteen? How did you come back? ”
Wu 13 quickly ran to Butong's side, his face was covered with sweat, and he still had that hippie smiling face, "I have to guard the county lord's mother, so I can rest assured, a few of us will stay by the county lord's side today, and we will not leave for half a moment." ”
Bu Tong was amused by this rare relaxed tone, looking at these six or seven people,
"That's it, I'm going to go to the back yard too, you just help me protect the ladies in the backyard, especially the concubine Niangniang and my aunt and mother, you must not be hurt at all."
Wu 13 bowed his head, "Subordinates obey." ”
Probably Mu Hewen will not bring many soldiers into Kyoto City, after all, once the reason for this "rebellion" is settled, even if he ascends to that position, he will definitely not be able to sit steadily, I am afraid that he urgently needs a reason now, and the Nanguo Mansion may be that reason.
Calculating the time, Bu Tong beckoned to Chun Tao,
"Go and arrange for the ladies of each courtyard to go to the backyard, vacate the front hall and courtyard, and leave it for the elder brother to arrange the troops, and we will also go to the back."
Chun Tao should go down and tell Yiying's family to arrange it, and help Bu Tong to walk towards Mrs. Qi's yard, the night sky above her head is dark and oppressive, and Chun Tao is a little panicked, "Miss, I'm afraid it will rain tonight." ”
Bu Tong sighed softly,
"Yes, the heavy rain will always wash away all the dirty things, even if it is destined to be bloody tonight, the sun will still rise smoothly tomorrow, and the people who go out to sprinkle and sweep may not know what happened the night before, it's really interesting."
Chun Tao only felt scared, and couldn't understand the meaning of Bu Tong's words at all, so she carefully helped Bu Tong to the backyard, Wu Thirteen and a few people followed, quiet and nervous, and the group arrived at Mrs. Qi's courtyard in the night.
Bu Tong stopped and instructed Wu Thirteen or so people,
"The courtyard walls around this courtyard are surrounded by rivers of water, but it is also safe, there is only a hidden back door, unless the people in the house, outsiders are not aware, you will guard the front door, there is a brother in the front hall with everyone, we are still safe here, as long as we hold on for an hour, the generals' reinforcements will arrive."
"I'm afraid it won't be so easy," a voice approached from behind, and Bu Tong looked back and was taken aback,
"Aunt Qi? Why did you come out, you should go to the house with your mother and second aunt, I am afraid that it will not be very peaceful outside, so as not to disturb my aunt. ”
As soon as the words fell, Butong felt as if he was thinking too much, and in Aunt Qi's hand, she clearly lifted a long sword with silver light, and smiled disdainfully when she heard the words,
"Tong'er is looking down on my aunt, I still can't look at such a young person, you go and get busy with you, your daughters will be handed over to me, and there will definitely be no accidents."
Bu Tong thought that his aunt was a tiger general under Bai Ye, the prince of the northern kingdom, but later died on the battlefield, leaving a son, who was also killed on the front line a few years ago, and the bones could not go home, Bu Tong did not have much impression of this aunt, but now it seems that he is probably a frank and resolute person.
Thinking of this, Bu Tong also calmed down slightly,
"It's hard aunt here, Tong'er goes to the front to take a look, these brocade guards are all left here, once there is any accident in front, I will arrange for someone to come back."
Chun Tao hurriedly grabbed Bu Tong, "Miss can't go, I'm afraid it's very dangerous ahead, Miss is still seriously injured, and her physical strength has not yet recovered, how can I take risks, or stay with Mrs. Qi." ”
Aunt Qi also frowned, "What Miss Chun Tao said is reasonable, Tong'er is not in good health now, what are you going to do in front, hurry up to your mother's side to take a breath, now those people outside are at the end of the crossbow, I am afraid that the time when the reinforcements will arrive, will definitely not let us hold out until that time." ”
This problem has already been numbered, and Mu Hewen will definitely take the imperial city before Lie Zhanhu and Bai Ye rush back, which is logical.
Bu Tong pursed his mouth, and then spoke,
"I think there will be a tough battle tonight, Tong'er really doesn't worry about the brother in front of him, the rebel thief is attacking the house, which is very different from the battlefield battle, the brother is tired in the past two days, I'm afraid there will be a mistake, Tong'er just went to take a look, and went back if there was nothing to do."
Aunt Qi's expression flickered, and she stepped forward to hold Butong's hand, "If you have something, you will go back." ”
Bu Tong only felt that the bottom of his heart suddenly fell, and it was extremely heavy, so he could only nod, "Hmm." ”
Chun Tao didn't know where to get the courage again, "Miss, I'll go with you." ”
Butong smiled and reached out to touch her hair,
"Hao Chun Tao, you are here with your mother, and I will be back soon."
Chun Tao directly crossed her face, "Chun Tao is Miss's personal maid, so she naturally has to protect Miss every step of the way, if there is a sword that does not have long eyes flying, although Chun Tao does not know martial arts, she is also willing to block it for Miss." ”
This was said in the last life of Chun Tao, at that time Bu Tong just listened to it, I only felt that even if the relationship between people was good, who was willing to die for whom, until that day, Chun Tao swallowed his breath beside him covered in blood, and only felt that he had thought too shallow.
Suddenly, with tears in his eyes, Bu Tong looked at Chun Tao's serious appearance,
"Okay, only this time, you don't have to block the sword for me, we all have to come back well."
Wu 13 held the saber and followed closely behind Bu Tong, "The subordinates have received orders from the county lord, but the safety of the county lord is also a major matter, they stay here to protect their relatives, I will follow you." ”
Speaking of the back, it seems to be back to the dead-faced Wu Thirteen, Bu Tong is helpless,
"Well, both of you will go with me, and you will take care of it."
After all, I am not good now, in case I encounter a rogue who breaks in, I am afraid that I will not be able to protect myself, although there are dead soldiers, but it is good to have someone to follow.
The originally warm and atmospheric courtyard is now quiet, but it is a little gloomy, and the three of them walked straight through to the front hall, and sure enough, there was already a commotion outside the gate.
The family members all had swords in their hands, and the brocade guards who stood with knives, Bu Tong found Bu Yiyang and Mu Hesheng.
"Brother, the front door must not be able to be guarded, try to delay as much time as possible, and be prepared to retreat and guard the backyard."
Bu Yiyang raised his eyes and looked at a figure lying on the top of the gate and made a gesture, and scolded hatefully, "It's really a villain!" We are just an ordinary national mansion, and we have sent more than 100 people to besiege us, but we only have more than 30 people, and there are many female dependents in the back house, how can we protect them thoroughly? ”
Bu Tong reached out and pressed Bu Yiyang's tight back,
"Brother, you are the best at fighting, there must be a way to deal with it, as long as you delay them for an hour, reinforcements will arrive."
Bu Yiyang frowned,
"I'm good at fighting, and I don't hit a stone with an egg in this kind of situation where I know that the enemy is outnumbered, you look at our people, except for less than twenty Jinyi Guards, the combat strength is still good, and the rest of the family has never touched a sword, not to mention that some people have to be sent to the backyard to stand by."
Mu Hesheng also had a long sword in his hand, his brows were tightly locked, and he echoed,
"It's really dangerous, Ah Tong should go to the backyard to be with the female dependents."
Bu Tong listened to the clamor outside the door, and said,
"This is the courtyard of the Bu family, even if the family members in the house have never been to the battlefield, but they are familiar with the terrain, where is the rockery in the house to pass people? Where can the stones be moved? Where is the gravel road already loose and slippery? Where can I hide from being detected? Thinking about the secret of this courtyard that we don't know, our family knows everything. ”
Bu Yiyang suddenly said, "That's right, the enemy is menacing, we can also take it step by step, even if we retreat into the backyard, we may not be able to hold them back." ”
Butong nodded,
"Although the Nanguo Mansion is quite large, it can't accommodate nearly a hundred soldiers to rush in, I'm afraid that they will have to come in one after another, can it be that my brother's experience in fighting for many years can't resist them?"
Bu Yiyang finally showed some ruffians, "Tong'er is still that little gentleman after all." ”
Bu Tong took two steps back and sat down under the porch, "I'll accompany my brother and the fourth highness for a while." ”
Xu Ning is not a good person, I am afraid that once he gains power, he will be a difficult opponent, selfish and ruthless, and he has always acted viciously, today he came to surround the Nanguo Mansion, I am afraid that it will be more difficult than Mu Hewen coming in person.
Someone shouted outside the door,
"We are the Kyoto Protectors! Tonight, there are rebellious ministers and thieves who intend to rebel, and they take away the four highnesses, and now the high gates of each prefecture are stationed to guard, and the family members in the door are also asked to open the door, so as not to take advantage of the thieves to enter. ”
Where did this wording come from, Mu Hesheng scolded sharply,
"This hall is here, why are the chaotic ministers and thieves holding hostage, who are you waiting for, dare to slander here!"
The man outside continued,
"Please also ask the Fourth Highness to order someone to open the door, and your subordinates will leave after confirming your safety."
Bu Tong smiled,
"Xu Ning is not stupid, firstly, to determine the location of the Four Highnesses, and secondly, to pretend to confirm the safety of the Four Highnesses, and justifiably 'station' in the mansion, even if he holds the whole mansion hostage, he can also pretend to protect it."
Mu Hesheng clenched the hilt of his sword tightly,
"The main hall is all right! How dare you make a mistake, how can you attack the Yipin Mansion under the pretext of an excuse?! ”
Xu Ning's greasy voice sounded outside, "His Royal Highness has always been respectful and peaceful, but now he is so violent and forceful, His Majesty has deduced that you are indeed being coerced by the thieves now, and all the doors of the Nanguo Mansion have been held hostage, and Your Majesty is here to save you!" ”
