Chapter 274: His Highness is changing his clothes outside
The people of the Restoration Society generally do not have a specific gathering place, and these people are also relatively scattered, and everyone who has interrogated them said that they have never seen what the owner of the Restoration Society looks like, but they only know that he wears a cloak and a hat every time, saying that he is afraid of being assassinated by the people of the imperial court after discovering it.
He also never asked the believers to hand over money to him, and all the money they plundered from the murder was left to them themselves, which is why these people believed in the Liberation Society and became more and more faithful.
At first, these believers were just people who existed in Tongguan City, but later the people of the city were also red-eyed, so they also joined in.
Especially when it was determined that Luo Shi's daughter was the Rakshasa master, there were even people who had begun to plot to assassinate in Beijing.
When Liang Yue's health was a little better, he couldn't lie down, blaming himself for his dereliction of duty while asking Ying to suppress it.
The troops in the city are indeed not very sufficient, but blind suppression cannot solve the problem, they will only think that Luo Fu has been poked in the sore spot, the key to the problem lies in the master of the Restoration Society, as long as he is caught and his true face is revealed, the believers are gone, and the believers will naturally disperse.
But in the past two days, they have arrested so many believers, but the people behind the scenes have not appeared for a long time, if they are either plotting a bigger conspiracy, or they are afraid.
But if you were afraid, you wouldn't have made such a big move against the court at the beginning.
Just a few days later, on the fifth day of their arrival in Tongguan, there was a shocking noise in the middle of the night, and Luo Fu opened her eyes, and when she woke up, Li Bu was no longer there, and hurriedly dressed and went out, and asked what happened, and the soldiers inside said that they didn't know, and the soldiers outside had run back in disgrace, saying that the city gate had been blown up.
"Blown up? What about Dingguo Gong? ”
The soldier said: "I'm going to arrest people, before the prince left, he specially ordered the lowly rank and others to escort His Highness to transfer." ”
Luo Fu asked the soldiers beside him: "When did Dingguo Gong leave?" ”
The soldier said about an hour ago: "Someone came to report that he had found a gathering at the city gate, and the prince did not wake you up, but went by himself." ”
The reason why these people blew up the city gate was nothing more than to trap them in the city, and eighty percent even wanted to catch turtles in an urn.
If so, where else is there in the city that is safe?
She asked the soldier who came back to report the news: "Where did the Duke of Dingguo ask you to escort the palace?" ”
The soldier said, "Go and take refuge in a mansion far away from the city gate." ”
"That's not right."
She asked rhetorically: "But as soon as the palace heard the explosion, the soldiers in the inner courtyard didn't know what was happening, but you immediately rushed in and said that the city gate had exploded, and the specific situation was still so clear, as if you had seen it with your own eyes." ”
"That Bengong is strange, from the city gate to here, even if you ride a horse, it will take a moment to rush back at the earliest, how did you do that Bengong came back immediately after hearing the explosion?"
The soldier who was questioned bowed his head and was silent, and he didn't say a reason for a long time.
Luo Shi took two steps back, and the soldiers beside her immediately drew their swords and became vigilant.
"Your Highness, you just need to go with the lowly position, and the lowly position will definitely not hurt you."
The soldier's face changed in an instant, and he pulled out two knives from the scabbard he was carrying, and the knives turned around in his hand a few times, and the cold light of the blade suddenly appeared and went straight to Luo Fu.
The soldiers from the outside have not been able to arrive so far, and only a few from the inner courtyard have resisted.
It seems to have come prepared.
The person who came disguised as a soldier should have come from the Liberation Society, and his moves were fast and ruthless, and those soldiers were not his opponents.
Luo Shi retreated to the house, curious about how these people broke in, the outside was heavily guarded, there were two shifts of people on duty every hour, and there were a few mastiffs outside, so it was impossible to give people a chance to break in quietly.
Thinking about it, she could only think of a possibility around her.
The sound of swords clashing outside gradually became quieter, Luo Shi looked around, and found that Li Bu didn't bring a sword when he went out, so he pulled out his sword and walked under the west window, only to find that the window couldn't be pushed open at all.
She lifted the stool and hit it, but after only two hits, the stool could not hold up, but the window frame was still intact.
This is true for one window, as it is for several others.
She began to suspect that the whole thing was a conspiracy, a plot to get rid of the most difficult Li Bu first, and then send someone to deal with her wholeheartedly.
The target of these people was her from the beginning.
There was no sound outside, and she was trapped in the room, like a trapped beast, and she was even ready to fight to the death. 360 Literature Network
But just when she didn't hold out any hope, the sound of knives sounded outside again, and this time she heard a familiar voice, which seemed to be Liang Yue.
She looked out through the crack in the door, and only saw two soldiers fighting at the door, clearly wearing the same clothes, but it was clear that there were two groups of people, one of whom had a sword confiscated and plunged straight into the crack in the door.
"My lord, there's someone inside!"
Then someone came quickly and kicked the door open, it was Liang Yue.
"Your Highness?"
Liang Yue knelt down and confessed: "The minister's rescue is late, I hope His Highness will forgive his sins!" ”
Luo Shi looked at the corpses lying on the ground outside the door, suppressed the discomfort in his heart, and forced himself to calm down: "How did these people get in?" ”
Liang Yue couldn't say clearly: "The minister has already asked people to check, it is not safe here now, and I ask His Royal Highness to leave with the minister." ”
Insecurity?
She didn't know who to believe now, just now there was already a person pretending to be a soldier who said he was going to escort her away, and he turned around and was going to kill her, and now.
Now when she suspected that there was something fine, Liang Yue rushed to the rescue in time, and the purpose was also to take her out of here, it was really difficult for her not to doubt him.
"I'm not going anywhere in this palace, I'm just waiting here, the rebels are dead, but this is the safest place."
She doesn't have a reliable person around her now, and these people in front of her don't know whether they are friends or foes, or it is better to be more careful, if she says that she doubts Liang Yue now, if he is not angry, she will be the most dangerous.
So pretend to be confused first, and wait for Li Bu to come back.
She didn't agree to leave, Liang Yue knelt on the ground and couldn't get up: "The minister has a heavy sin to treat Tongguan like this entrusted by His Royal Highness, if His Highness refuses to leave with the minister, what happens if he stays, how should the minister follow the Dingguo bus generation, even if he dies and can't atone for his sins!" ”
Luo Shi patiently talked to him: "What's the matter with the explosion at the city gate?" ”
Liang Yue said: "It was done by the chaotic party, Guogong rushed over as soon as he got the news, and now I don't know what the situation is, but the chaotic party is scattered, and it will soon rush here, for the sake of His Highness's safety, please leave with his ministers as soon as possible." ”
As he was talking, someone outside came to report that a rebellious party was coming here, and there was still gunpowder in their hands, and they were headed by a group of children who were only a few years old.
These people are sure that they are reluctant to attack their children, so they use children as shields as meat shields, so that they can use the lives of these children to force them to retreat step by step.
Maybe they don't care about people's lives, but the people with gunpowder tied to their bodies are all children of the country, and if they really do it, there will definitely be rumors again.
The people are the water, the king is the boat, the water can carry the boat and overturn the boat, and then the country will move. Chaos, because if there is another uprising or something, even if it does not hurt the foundation, it is difficult to guarantee that people like Xirong who are eyeing the defense of the country will not take the opportunity to attack.
That's why it's been moved recently. The chaos is frequent, and the reason why they have been retreating even though they are superior in force.
Regardless of whether those children were voluntarily or forced, using children as weapon bargaining chips, the degree of virulence of the people behind the Restoration Society made Luo Fu breathtaking.
Liang Yue saw that Luo Fu still refused to leave, so he could only use force, stepped forward, grabbed Luo Fu's two hands and twisted them behind him, and took her out in the posture of escorting the prisoner.
Outside the courtyard is already a ruined wall, and the corpses of the soldiers on duty in the outer courtyard are lying on the ground, and the death is unbearable to look at.
As soon as they left on their front feet, a child on their back feet threw a bundle of gunpowder into it, and in an instant the house collapsed and fell into a sea of fire.
Luo Shi looked back, it was too far away, and he only vaguely saw a few children dancing against the backdrop of the fire, as if they had done something very remarkable.
Liang Yue was separated from his own people, and now there are more than a dozen people around him, Luo Fu followed him around the streets and alleys, and after walking far away, she stopped: "It's not a way to go this way, they have those children in their hands as shields, so they have nothing to fear, we have to find Li Bu as soon as possible, and quickly discuss a countermeasure." ”
She said this to test Liang Yue's reaction, and secondly, to see how much Liang Yue had hidden from her, and whether she really didn't know Li Bu's whereabouts.
Liang Yue's expression was really a little embarrassed: "The minister also wants to find the Duke of Dingguo as soon as possible, but at the moment we are the most dangerous, it is definitely not possible to find it clearly, the goal of these people is His Royal Highness, according to the minister's opinion, I want to shuttle through the city safe and sound, now this outfit is definitely not good, if Your Highness doesn't mind, the minister asked someone to prepare a few clothes for His Highness to change." ”
A princess, more than a dozen guards, such a combination is very conspicuous wherever she goes, whether she wants to take the opportunity to escape alone, or go with Liang Yue and them, it is necessary to change her appearance.
Liang Yue asked someone to find a few men's clothes, and the soldiers changed them one by one, only Luo Fu still looked at Liang Yue with his clothes: "Do you want the palace to change clothes on the spot?" ”
Liang Yue hurriedly turned around: "The conditions are limited, Your Highness is changing clothes outside, Your Highness can rest assured, if the ministers dare to take a look, they will immediately poke themselves in the eyes!" ”
Luo Shi walked into the dark corner by himself, looked at Liang Yue who turned his back in front of him, and his heart was full of suspicions.
She only took off her outer shirt, at this time, it was impossible to change it from the inside out, and after putting on the clothes, she scattered her hair and put it in a bun on her head, afraid that this face would be recognized again when the time came, so she smeared a layer of dust on the wall with her fingers, painted both cheeks, and pulled two locks of hair down to cover her face, so that she felt safe.
