Although the forbidden army was regretful and angry, they all gritted their teeth and swallowed in their stomachs, retreated in line to the noon gate, the battlefield in the front hall was transferred to the back hall, and the blood overflowed the three palaces and six courtyards, and the sunset was silent.

There are 2,000 dead soldiers in the Southern Party, and in addition to the advance team of the forbidden army to meet the enemy first in the front hall, the main force following Zhao Xixing is only a few hundred, and the number has suffered a big loss, no matter how elite it is, it cannot be hard to meet with the Southern Party.

"Someone, send a message to the six halls! Let him pull out the camp at once and hurry to surround him! Turtle catching! ”

Zhao Xixing glanced at the Southern Party who poured into the middle hall like a tide, and led the forbidden army to retreat, his only reliance was Zhao Xiyan, otherwise with his current strength, it would definitely be a change of dynasty.

It is said that the saint abides by the law and is timid, but in fact, no one is as bold as him.

Fight more with less, defeat the strong with the weak, he rode the wind and gambled on this.

The remnant sun is like blood, the smoke of gunpowder and the flames of war, the corpses are displayed in the once solemn imperial palace, the blood stains the once glorious glass hall, the black clouds gather in the sky above, and the crows fly wildly.

The purgatory of the world, the field of life and death, one will be successful, and ten thousand bones will wither.

The turmoil in the imperial palace naturally spread to the entire Shengjing City.

Even if the government had ordered the people to shut up, no one was blind or deaf, even if it was the smell of dead people in the air and the blood coming out of the well.

It all shows that at this moment, the imperial palace is in chaos and blood.

"The Southern Party, it must be the Southern Party! Rebellion! It's over, it's over, we're done! ”

Panic spread like a pebble into the middle of a lake, and the people huddled in their courtyards shivering, their eyes looking out through the cracks in the windows, their eyes full of horror and fear.

Rumors are boiling in the streets and alleys like mosquitoes and flies, like wings, and the more they spread, the more out of shape, the more terrifying, and finally even the people are crying at home, saying that another April palace change has broken out.

The cries, the chatter, and the sounds of fright, all converged into the undercurrent and commotion of the people's hearts, and poured into the night of Shengjing.

The imperial palace is experiencing a bloody storm.

And the people's hearts are also experiencing a bloody storm.

戌時.

The night was like ink, no one lit the lights in the city, and I couldn't see my fingers.

Suddenly, a few bamboo lanterns were lit, and Li Chen knocked on the outer wall of a family, and said lightly: "In the Xiadong Palace, Zhan Shicheng, there is a decree, the war is going well, and the rebellion will be suppressed, and you will wait for peace and worry-free." ”

In the orange light, half of his face was squeezed out of the crack in the window, and a pair of eyes were red and swollen, obviously he had just cried, he looked at Li Chen's official robe, and said in a trembling voice: "Really? Will Heaven Win? Won't we suffer? ”

"Don't worry, Donggong Xianming, he has already had a plan to deal with it, and it is only a matter of time before he wins big." A female voice came from Li Chen's side, as gentle as a child's words.

It is the wife of Li Chen, the daughter of Wu Dazhuang of Shengjing County, Wu Liyin.

The woman's voice always flowed through the chaos like a clear spring, and its unique power was like the orange light, reflecting the eyes in the cracks of the window.

"Okay, then I pray for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, pray for the blessing of the Western Zhou, and I will win!" There was no more weeping in the walls, but a firm prayer.

Li Chen turned his head and smiled at Wu Liyin, and then the two walked together and knocked on the outer wall of the next house.

Not long after, a team of officials hurriedly came from afar, and Wu Dazhuang, led by him, grabbed Li Chen: "Son-in-law, no, Zhan Shicheng, this is not your business, now that the situation is chaotic, don't come out!" ”

Li Chen saluted: "Didn't your father-in-law hear the cries and rumors all over the city?" ”

"The East Palace has arranged for our county government to patrol the night so that the people will not go out...... As long as you don't run out like you, what kind of mess can happen? Wu Dazhuang patted his chest.

Li Chen shook his head and smiled: "The people who are in the county are the people, and the people who are in the officials are the people." ”

He lifted the bamboo lantern in his hand, the light was weak, but the orange light was warm, and it could warm people's hearts all the way in the dark night, and seeing the light was like seeing hope.

Wu Dazhuang was still not at ease, so he simply pulled Wu Liyin behind him, and persuaded: "Even so, Liyin was pregnant a while ago, you don't let her stay at home, and let her come out with you......"

"Father!" Wu Liyin gently pushed Wu Dazhuang away, half coquettish and half serious, "My daughter doesn't walk the whole street, so I will persuade a few households to do their part to accompany him, and I know how to measure the inches." ”

After a pause, Wu Liyin glanced at Li Chen and smiled: "Besides, my daughter is pregnant and wants to be a mother, so she knows better how to be the wife of a parent official." ”

Wu Dazhuang was stunned for a long time, and finally sighed, turned his head to the official and said, "Let the brothers who patrol the night bring up the bamboo lantern lanterns, what Zhan Shicheng did, you should do the same...... The mouth is smart, An Min understands! ”

So, not long after, the orange light of Shengjing City was everywhere, and the officials kept knocking on the wall of the house, like comforting children, saying a word, no Ji Tai comes, the destiny is blessed, not afraid, not worried.

The majesty of this country should be sworn to death by the heroes of the imperial palace, loyal and bloody.

The gentleness of this country should be seen by no one in Shengjing, and Dan's heart has light.

When.

Even if the war in the imperial palace is ten miles away from Beijing, you can see the blood light rushing into the dark and dreary night sky.

Cheng Yingyu stood on the top of the merit steps of Wanshan Temple, holding the bronze bell in the pavilion, so that he could keep standing.

Holding the wound medicine in his heart, he really couldn't stand it: "Liangjiazi still wants to leave?" You walk every day, and you rot a pair of shoes every day. If it goes on like this, these feet will be wasted! ”

"Did Mrs. Shi see that red cloud, it's the Imperial Palace, and they're still fighting. Let's go, keep going...... Ay! Cheng Ying didn't finish speaking, and fell down.

I hurriedly supported her, raised the lamp in my hand and shone it, and when I saw the woman's feet clearly, she couldn't help but have hot eyes when she was cultivating Buddhism.

Bloody. It is said that the woman's fragrant feet are delicate and pitiful, but now the feet in front of her look terrible, the blood scab and the grass of the mango shoes are condensed together, and new blood is still oozing out.

Thousands of miles long, blood stained red, willing to give up sinful flesh and blood, pray for his safety and success.

"Shitai, when I worshipped the Buddha in Lingyin Temple in Jiangnan, I had a word of advice." Cheng Ying was in a trance of pain, but his face was still pale, and he stood up, "The little master who swept the floor said that everyone in the world said that the Buddha is respected, but it is not the Buddha who is respected. ”

Cheng Ying smiled: "It's the Buddha's heart, my own Buddha's heart." ”

If there is a Buddha in the heart, then the heaven and earth will see the Buddha, and if there is no Buddha in the heart, there will be no Buddha everywhere.

The pupils of his heart shrank, and he realized: "Poor Ni once heard that the son of a good family swore to the saint, saying that when he walked to the East Palace in front of the people of the world, he would ask him for a word of promise, but he had already gone to the spring......"

Cheng Ying's eyes flickered slightly: "This sentence, is it asked as the heart master, or the identity of the imperial concubine Wei?" ”

was silent, and gently turned his face away: "...... I just think that maybe many people, even the saints and the East Palace itself, have the same doubts as the poor nuns. ”

"I have my own method, although it sounds ridiculous, but I am willing to gamble, and I will try to bet for the rest of my life."

"Bet on what?"

"Bet on him. Believe in Your Majesty, I will not be willing to be trapped in a cage for the rest of my life, believe in his gentleness, and believe in his flowers, worthy of his tenderness. ”

With a complicated face, he squeezed out a sentence: "Empress Minde, between you and him...... Really, there are really some things that neither heaven nor common sense can intervene in...... It's like some kind of bond between these beings, or some kind of rule in the world, that is only tied to you......"

"Really? When the first green plum wine is ripe this year, his answer may be able to answer this doubt. Cheng Yingyu's gaze suddenly became firm and soft, like rivers and mountains turning into soft fingers, not afraid to drown.

There is no such thing as you, but there is his world.

It's worth it, play big.
