Chapter 36: The Threat (II)
Hearing that the soldiers and horses approaching Hualin Garden were Xiao Zhen's, everyone present was embarrassed, but Xiao Zhen was still sitting in front of the dining table like Mount Tai, Pei Huizhao asked in a panic: "Your Highness, what are you going to ......" She didn't dare to continue, the two children on the side pulled her sleeves, and asked innocently: "Mother, what's wrong with my father?" ”
Xiao Ye knew that Xiao Daocheng had arranged for Chen Xianda to lead troops to guard outside the Fengzhuang Gate on the south side of Hualin Garden, so he was not afraid, but he didn't expect Xiao Zhen to be prepared, he only knew that Xiao Zhen only brought a dozen elite soldiers back to Beijing, but how did he know that he still quietly brought 3,000 soldiers and horses, he also got up and reprimanded: "Big brother, what do you mean by this!" You want to rebel! ”
Xiao Daocheng was stunned for a while, and when he reacted, he was so angry that he overturned the food table in front of him, and then pointed at Xiao Zhen and scolded: "Bastard thing!" Shameless descendants! I raised you so big, provided you with food and clothing, and gave you military power, but I didn't expect you to lead troops to force the palace! That's how you repay me? Are you worthy of the ancestors of the Lanling Xiao clan! ”
After he said that, he suddenly pulled out the knife of the guard next to him and walked towards Xiao Zhen, Xiao Changmao and Xiao Ziliang saw their grandfather's posture, they were really scared and cried, Pei Huizhao was also panicked, and protected the two children between the left and right arms between the crooks, and the mother and son hid back together.
"I'm going to kill you, unfilial son! Kill you! Xiao Daocheng opened his mouth to curse like this, Xiao Zhen was still calm, he stood up, and said, "Father doesn't want to listen to his son's explanation? ”
"You led the troops to force the palace, what is there to explain!" Xiao Daocheng's eyes turned red in a hurry, Xie Zheng saw more and more uneasy, and his hand reached into his sleeve and was about to take out the dagger, but Huan Ling suddenly stopped and said in a low voice: "Seeing that the prince is clearly prepared, you and I must not act rashly." ”
Xiao Ye saw this momentum, Xiao Zhen was sure to die, so he hurriedly ordered the master book beside him: "Liu Fang, go and pass on Captain Chen, let you come to the rescue quickly!" ”
Liu Fang was about to run out, but Xiao Heng finally couldn't hold back the anger in his heart, stood up, knocked the dragon's head crutch on the ground heavily, and said angrily: "Stop!" Come back and sit down! None of you are allowed to leave here! ”
Xiao Daoguo really listened to Xiao Heng's words, and stopped immediately, but he still pointed the knife at Xiao Zhen with an angry face, Liu Fang didn't know how to advance or retreat, and looked back at Xiao Ye, Xiao Ye saw that Xiao Daocheng had stopped, so he didn't dare to do much, so he said: "Come back." ”
"Xiao Daocheng! You put the knife down for me! Xiao Heng knocked on the crutches again, Xiao Daocheng was suddenly a little frightened, and put down the knife at once, just because he had never called his name since he was a child.
"Long'er led troops into Beijing and stationed outside the imperial city, all of which meant mourning the family," Xiao Heng had calmed down, but when he spoke, he was cold.
Everyone knows that Xiao Heng prefers Xiao Zhen, and now that Xiao Heng said this, the people below were not surprised, it was nothing more than that Xiao Heng was protecting Xiao Zhen again, but Xiao Heng was obviously stunned for a moment, and Xiao Daocheng seemed to be helpless, he smiled bitterly and said: "Grandmother, I beg you!" I'm begging you, don't favor him anymore, okay? ”
"The mourning family didn't favor him, I don't believe you asked him," Xiao Heng walked down on crutches, and Xue Nushi also supported her.
Xiao Zhen did not directly respond to his meaning of bringing troops into Beijing, but said: "Father, the son of the emperor brought troops into Beijing today to prepare a birthday gift for my grandmother." ”
"Birthday gift?" Xiao Daocheng sneered, completely disbelieving Xiao Zhen's words.
Xiao Zhen said: "Please Father, Emperor Taigrande, and all the guests, follow me to the Beishang Pavilion to see the difference." ”
Xiao Daocheng was not very relieved, lest this was Xiao Heng's trap, and he hesitated to go, but it can be seen that Xiao Heng followed, and he had no reason to cringe anymore, so he followed closely.
Everyone boarded the North Pavilion, and really saw that there were three thousand soldiers stationed outside the wall of Hualin Garden, and the leader was Yin Luo.
Yin Luo saw that Xiao Daocheng and Xiao Heng were already in the north pavilion, so he knelt on the ground and saluted, and the three thousand soldiers behind him also kowtowed
said in unison: "Knock to see Your Majesty, knock to see the eldest princess." ”
Xiao Daocheng saw that Yin Luo was not small, and knew that the purpose of Xiao Chen's arrangement this time was to threaten him, so that he did not dare to attack him, he arranged in advance for Chen Xianda to lead troops to ambush outside the gate of Fengzhuang, thinking that Xiao Zhen could be taken down in one fell swoop, but who would have thought that Xiao Xianda would secretly lead troops into Beijing, if he really ordered Chen Xianda to break in, then Xiao Zhen would inevitably rebel, although he had already ambushed, but Chen Xianda only brought a few hundred men and horses today, how can he defeat Xiao Chen's elite soldiers!
Xiao Daocheng didn't dare to say more, but asked with a stiff face: "Didn't you say that you prepared a birthday gift?" ”
Xiao Zhen smiled, then looked down at Yin Luo, and called: "Yin Luo!" Why don't you give a birthday gift? ”
"Yes!" Yin Luo answered, then stood up, turned to face the soldiers, and shouted, "Get up, line up." ”
A group of soldiers got up together, the originally neatly arranged team suddenly dispersed in groups, seemingly chaotic, but in fact it was an orderly rush to another place, after a while, they all stopped, looked down from a high place, only to see them put out the black pressure of the eight big characters, "Immortal blessing forever, longevity and Tianqi", the people in the pavilion were shocked, especially Xiao Heng, suddenly recovered a smile on his face, held Xiao Zhen's hand, and said: "Long'er, you have a heart." ”
Yin Luo shouted: "I wish the eldest princess eternal blessings, longevity and heaven!" ”
After he said that, the soldiers behind him also shouted: "I wish the eldest princess eternal happiness and longevity!" ”
"Okay, good," Xiao Heng's heart was full of joy, nodded to the soldiers below, and said with a smile: "You have all worked hard, and you will all be rewarded when you look back." ”
Xiao Zhen said: "Why don't you thank the eldest princess?"
A group of soldiers said in unison: "Princess Taichang! ”
Seeing that Xiao Zhen didn't dare to act rashly, Xiao Daocheng also had the confidence, and reprimanded Xiao Zhen in front of Xiao Heng: "You really have a heart to prepare a birthday gift for your grandmother, but it is a serious crime to bring troops into Beijing without permission, and you have to be punished." ”
Xiao Cheng was not afraid, because he had many soldiers and horses, Xiao Daocheng would never dare to move him easily, he only smiled, Xiao Daocheng didn't care about Xiao Heng's face, insisted on punishing Xiao Xun, and said: "If you want to prepare a birthday gift with this, you should make it clear to me in advance, and you shouldn't hide it so much, I will punish you for handing over the military power of Liang County." ”
"Cars!" Xiao Heng angrily reprimanded Xiao Daocheng, Xiao Daocheng still did not show weakness, only said: "Grandmother, he brought troops into Beijing without permission, and he has committed the crime of rebellion. ”
"You! You ......" Xiao Heng pointed at Xiao Daocheng, but he suddenly felt lightheaded, and it was dark in front of him, he was afraid that his blood was retrograde, and he was in a hurry, and as soon as his body was unbalanced, he fell.
