Chapter 238: Long Live My Emperor
Yue'er divided the people in the imperial dining room into five teams, she didn't know where the door of the cellar was, and ordered: "Someone upstairs sent a message out, the guards of the forbidden army will arrive immediately, you four groups go to block the four doors, and the rest follow me, we will save the emperor!" ”
Lin Zhaoyi saw Yue'er orderly directing everyone to act separately, and she admired it even more.
In fact, this is the scheduling that Yin Er learned in the Hundred Flowers Class, because there are often accidents during the performance, and every time the old class owner can be calm and calm, and turn the danger into a disaster.
Yue'er took the remaining team of people straight to Qingshou Tower, and as soon as she went upstairs, she saw a figure hanging on the beam, desperately kicking her legs, Yue'er shot out a flying knife with a whoosh, and the rope broke off with a bang.
"Hmph, this is Yu Shanggong, she wants to commit suicide, no way!"
Yue'er withdrew the flying knife and said angrily.
Someone stepped forward and held Yu Shanggong is a violent beating, most of these people recognize Yu Shanggong, this woman is extremely vicious, and she usually abuses the palace maids and eunuchs.
"Don't beat her to death!"
Yue'er commanded.
At this time, there was the sound of cattle from downstairs.
"Concubine Duanniang, I found the cellar door, but it's locked!"
Yue'er shouted: "Smash, smash me!" She shouted and went downstairs, those eunuchs hated Yu Shanggong very much, and someone held her down and beat her until she fainted.
Downstairs, the cellar door has been smashed open.
As soon as the door opened, I saw a young man walking out with an old man in a cotton robe.
The old man's hair and beard were gray, and his body was very dirty, and when he came out, he brought out a foul stench, and his cheeks were sunken into it, and his whole human shape stood on end, except for a pair of eyes that still sparkled.
"The Emperor, the Emperor—"
Yue'er screamed and wanted to cry.
The old man in the cotton robe was Xuan Ling.
The eunuch standing at the door of the cellar knelt down with the man, and at first there were still suspicious people, but now they are full of righteous indignation, and the emperor is really locked up, and he is tortured like this.
"Your Majesty—"
Lin Zhaoyi couldn't control it anymore, staggered up, and threw herself into Xuan Ling's arms and mourned.
Xuan Ling didn't recognize who Lin Zhaoyi was, and asked in surprise, "You, you-"
Lin Zhaoyi raised her head and burst into tears.
"Your Majesty, I'm Tingting, I'm your Tingting, forgive me, the concubine knows it's wrong!"
Xuan Ling was stunned at first, then sighed and gently hugged Lin Zhaoyi's shoulder.
"Tingting, you have also suffered!"
Yue'er wiped a handful of tears.
"Your Majesty, you, are you finally sober?"
Xuan Ling looked at Yue'er, in fact, it was this concubine who he wanted to embrace most at this moment.
"Yu'er, thank you very much."
It was Zhao Zhen who was holding Xuan Ling just now, and he asked nervously: "Concubine Duanniang, what's going on outside, what about Concubine Yuan and General Zhao?" ”
Yue'er woke up from her sadness, gritted her teeth and said, "They're coming!" ”
As soon as the words fell, the sound of horses' hooves was heard outside, and then the sound of swishing breaking through the air sounded.
"Hide—"
Yue'er exclaimed, she couldn't imagine that Zhao Huawen would dare to enter the palace with cavalry.
A row of feathered arrows fell from the sky, and everyone scattered and fled, and Niu Tao held the iron pot on his head.
In the midst of the screams, four or five people were shot by arrows falling from the sky.
"Bang, bang—"
Immediately after that, there was a sound of slamming the door outside, and Xuan Ling's body froze there, looking nervous.
Yue'er clenched her fists and shouted, "Everyone retreat upstairs, Your Majesty, you also go upstairs!" ”
"What about you?"
"Your Majesty, please give me a token, I will rush out before they surround the Qingshou Palace, and go outside to move the rescuers!"
"Who are the rescuers?"
"As long as Yu'er opens the palace gate and lets in the ministers and forbidden troops outside, Zhao Huawen, do they dare to kill the monarch in front of everyone, then everyone will chop him into meat puree!"
Xuan Ling nodded again and again, he touched his body, and took out a jade pendant from his arms, this jade pendant was engraved with a word - Ling, this is Xuan Ling's talisman, and now he handed it to Yue'er.
"Are you sure?"
"The concubine is desperate!"
"Okay, then you can go quickly!"
Yue'er said to Zhao Zhen: "This is handed over to you, remember, no matter what, you have to hold the Qingshou Tower and delay time!" ”
"Okay—"
Zhao Zhen nodded resolutely.
Yue'er glanced at Xuan Ling, turned around, and ran towards the backyard.
Seeing Yue'er's light figure, Xuan Ling was a little dazed.
Whoosh, whoosh –
Another row of feather arrows fell in the air, this time the feather arrows were much denser than before, but there was an experience just now, everyone hid behind obstacles, but no one was injured.
Zhao Zhen waved his hand and shouted, "Go upstairs!" ”
There was a cracking sound from the gate, and it was obvious that it would be broken immediately, and the people guarding the door shouted and ran towards Qingshou Tower together.
Xuan Ling and Lin Zhaoyi went up to the second floor with the support of Zhaozhen and Niu Tao.
There was a loud bang.
The main entrance was slammed open.
Xuan Ling shouted to Niu Tao: "Quick, tear down the stairs!" ”
Zhao Zhen couldn't help but hesitate when he saw that the people brought by Yue'er were running towards Qingshou Tower.
Xuan Ling said angrily: "Don't go soon, it's too late!" ”
Niu Tao came to his senses and rushed to the staircase, he didn't have a knife in his hand, it was not easy to dismantle the stairs, at this time someone ran downstairs and began to climb up, Niu Tao saw the man who was carrying the axe and threw the axe aside and climbed up, and immediately screamed and rushed down.
"No one is allowed to go upstairs, everyone has to sacrifice their lives to protect the emperor and fight with the rebellious ministers and thieves who killed the king!"
was screamed by the cow, and everyone turned around and rushed out.
There were horses' hooves and exclamations outside, and it was obvious that Zhao Huawen's forbidden army had rushed into the Qingshou Palace.
Niu Tao picked up the axe from the ground and slashed at the stairs upstairs, and the screams behind him sounded from time to time, Niu Tao knew that those people in the imperial dining room would definitely not be able to defeat the well-equipped forbidden army, so he couldn't help gritting his teeth fiercely and exerting even more force.
"Stop!"
Someone shouted.
The staircase had been cut in half, and Niu Tao ignored it, picking up the axe and chopping it down again.
With a click, the base of the staircase was cut off, and half of the staircase fell.
Niu Tao was about to turn around, when he felt a pain in his chest, and the tip of a halberd poked out of his chest, and Niu Tao's body softened.
"Poof—"
The halberd was pulled back, and blood shot out.
Niu Tao covered his chest and turned around slowly, only to see a forbidden army with thick eyebrows and nostrils facing the sky staring at him viciously, Niu Tao stared at the man and shouted with his last strength: "Don't kill the king, don't-"
The three of them could see it clearly upstairs.
Seeing Niu Tao lying in a pool of blood, Zhao Zhen screamed.
"Oh, the emperor is here, you dare to kill, aren't you afraid of five thunders in the sky!"
As soon as the forbidden soldier looked up, he saw Xuan Ling standing upstairs, Xuan Ling's eyes were full of majesty, and he couldn't help but shudder.
At this time, a group of forbidden soldiers rushed downstairs, and everyone looked up.
The official who led this forbidden army is named Lu Qian, he is a heartfelt lieutenant, he belongs to the middle-level officer in the forbidden army of Bingzhou, he has seen Xuan Ling on the parade ground, although the old man upstairs looks vicissitudes of life, and he is not wearing a dragon robe, but Yu Wei is still there, the majesty and momentum between his eyebrows and eyes are by no means imitated by others, Lu Qian's knees are weak, and he knelt on the ground.
"Captain Lu Qian, the villain, see my emperor, long live my emperor, long live, long live!"
As soon as this Lu Qian knelt, the other forbidden soldiers were taken aback and knelt down one after another.
Xuan Ling nodded and shouted, "Who are you being sent by, what is your intention to enter the palace without permission!" ”
Lu Qian was a little flustered.
"The last general was ordered by Zhao Huawen, the general of Zhenguo, and heard that there was a traitor in the palace, and the emperor was robbed, so we are here to escort him!"
"Since it is the escort, then pass on my message, you and others immediately stop killing, quickly collect troops and exit the palace, and ask Zhao Huawen to come to see me!"
"Yes—"
Lu Qian responded, hurriedly stood up, waved his hand to the people behind, and said, "The emperor ordered, everyone withdraw!" ”
When the forbidden soldiers heard the order, they poured out together.
The forbidden army outside the hall was carrying the corpses, and more than two dozen people were surrounded in the corner, these people raised their hands and cried in surrender, but there were still forbidden soldiers with halberds to poke them.
A captain saluted Lu Qian and said, "Captain Lu, what to do with these people, kill them or not?" ”
Lu Qiandao: "The emperor wants us to stop killing immediately, everyone stop!" ”
When the eunuchs of the imperial dining room who surrendered heard this order, they immediately breathed a sigh of relief, hugged each other and wept bitterly.
