Chapter 39: The Great Funeral (II)

Outside the carriage, Xiao Zhen and Yin Luo were vigilant, and Xie Zheng was also worried, but when he saw that Jingzhao Yin Luji was also coming with troops, he thought about countermeasures in his heart, Pei Huizhao sat in the carriage and didn't know it, but he heard the sound of horses' hooves and the clanging of iron armor outside, so he felt that something was wrong, so he lifted the curtain again, poked his head out and asked, "What's wrong?" But as soon as he saw the formation in front of the carriage, he was immediately frightened and speechless.

Yin Luo replied in a low voice: "It's the king of Linchuan." ”

After that, Xiao Ying and the three of them had already walked around to the front of the carriage, Pei Huizhao immediately lowered the curtain, sat back in the carriage, and took the two children into his arms, for fear that something would go wrong.

"Brother Huang, it's so late, where are you going for this family of four?" Xiao Ying sat on the horse and shook her head, speaking in a weird manner, quite arrogant.

Xiao Zhen forced himself to be calm, unhurried, pretending to be comfortable, and said: "I drank too much at the birthday banquet today, go out of the city to relax, sober up, what, can't you?" ”

Xiao Ying turned over and dismounted, walked over to Xiao Zhen slowly, and said, "Brother Huang has always had a lot of money, and I haven't seen you drink much today, why did you drink too much?" Besides, Brother Huang, you go out of the city to relax and drag your family with you, this situation is like running for your life, which makes people have to think about it! ”

After he finished speaking, he opened the curtain of the carriage door, and saw Pei Huizhao holding Xiao Changmao and Xiao Ziliang, with a very frightened look, and couldn't help laughing a little, so he called funny: "Changmao, Ziliang, you get off the car quickly, come to your uncle, uncle has something good to give you." ”

Xiao Changmao and Xiao Ziliang were happy when they heard this, and they were about to pass over, Pei Huizhao secretly dragged them, and then smiled at Xiao Ying: "The child is naughty, I'm afraid of offending the third brother." ”

Xiao Ying didn't give up, and she didn't beat around the bush anymore, so she asked directly: "Then you tell the third uncle, where does your father want to take you?" ”

The children were ignorant, Xiao Zhen was afraid that they would say something that they shouldn't say, as soon as the words fell, he rushed forward, suddenly reached out and grabbed Xiao Ying's wrist, and asked with a cold face: "Third brother, what do you mean by bringing such people here?" ”

Xiao Ying was taken aback by him, but she also pretended to be calm and replied: "Naturally, like you, the imperial brother, you went out of the city to relax." After he finished speaking, he was about to break free of Xiao Chen, but unexpectedly, Xiao Zhen increased his strength again, and said to him through gritted teeth: "You don't pretend to be garlic!" I tell you, I don't care if you offend me today, but if you dare to touch a finger of my wife and children, I will fight for my life and swear to pick your skin! ”

After he finished speaking, he let go, but he pushed Xiao Ying away, Xiao Ying couldn't guard against it, he stumbled, and the main bookkeeper Cheng Cheng exclaimed: "Your Highness!" And he hurried to him, and helped him.

At this time, Pei Huizhao also got out of the carriage and stood beside Xiao Zhen, looking like he wanted to live and die with him.

At this time, Xie Zheng calmly walked towards Xiao Ying and said, "His Royal Highness the King of Linchuan is really powerful, even Jing Zhaoyin's government soldiers have been transferred, have you already asked Your Majesty for an order?" If you send troops here without permission, Your Majesty will know about it, and I'm afraid you will have to be punished for the crime of rebellion. ”

Xiao Ying was scared in her heart, but she didn't show weakness on her lips, and reprimanded: "Who are you?" When will it be your turn to teach this king a lesson? ”

Xie Zheng sneered, "It doesn't matter who I am, what matters is that His Highness colluded with Jing Zhaoyin to transfer troops and send generals privately, what is his intention?" ”

Xiao Ying was speechless, Lu Ji sat on the horse, heard what Xie Zheng said, and was afraid of being implicated, his eyes were erratic, Xiao Zhen suddenly admired Xie Zheng very much, and easily grasped the weakness of the opponent, he saw that Lu Ji was already panicked, so he took advantage of the victory to pursue, and reprimanded: "Lu Ji, as Jing Zhaoyin, you are not good at governing Jiankang City, but you are still in charge of the lonely head, you are really bold!" ”

"Xiaguan...... Xia Guan ......" Lu Ji was speechless, Xie Zheng then threatened: "It is a felony to transfer government soldiers without permission, and it will be dismissed at the lightest, and it will be assigned to the army at the worst, Lu Envoy, you are also a lot old, and I am afraid that your body and bones will not be able to bear it." ”

Lu Ji was frightened, dismounted in a panic, and kowtowed to Xiao Zhen on the ground and begged for mercy: "Your Highness forgives me, the lower officials don't dare!" The lower officials don't dare! ”

Xiao Zhen smiled and said nothing, but Xiao Ying still refused to admit defeat, turned around and said to Xiao Zhen in a weird manner: "Brother Huang, it's so late, I think, don't go out of the city, go back to the house and rest, tomorrow will be early, don't miss the time." ”

"You don't need to worry about this," Xiao Ying raised his head slightly, his posture was quite contemptuous, Xiao Ying was so angry that his teeth trembled, so he snorted coldly, turned his head and rode on his horse to leave, just at this moment, he suddenly heard a bell ringing, which came from the palace, the sound was so loud that it could resound throughout Jiankang, and then, two, three, and four sounds...... Listen carefully, the bell seems to ring twenty-seven times, this is ...... Great mourning of the country!

Could it be......

Xie Zheng was uneasy in his heart, and he was busy comforting himself in his heart, but when he saw that everyone else was standing there fixedly, if they were not shocked, how could they not move there.

Pei Huizhao called Xiao Zhen lightly: "Your Highness...... The Admiralty ......"

Before she could finish speaking, Xiao Ying grabbed the words and said: "The golden bell rang twenty-seven times, it seems that something happened in the palace, brother Huang, since you are the crown prince, you should go back and take a look." ”

Xiao Ying was already stunned, and he hadn't come to his senses yet, Xiao Ying saw that he seemed indifferent, and then said excitedly: "Brother Huang, don't you want to go back?" The golden bell struck twenty-seven times is the death knell, and if it is not safe, it is the Taizu Guxian who has gone, doesn't the imperial brother enter the palace to mourn? ”

"Lone naturally wants to go to the palace to mourn, but it won't be your turn to compare here," Xiao Zhen said and told Pei Huizhao: "Huizhao, the sky is going to change, I'm afraid Lone can't protect your mother and son, it's better for you to take the children away, and go to your mother's house in Hedong to avoid the limelight first." ”

"Your Highness!" Pei Huizhao stared at Xiao Chen, with tears in her eyes, extremely reluctant, at this juncture, Xiao Zhen let them go first, she is well versed in the treacherous power of the emperor, how could she not know, he said this, but he wanted her to leave with Changmao and Ziliang at ease!

She was afraid that Xiao Zhen would never come back if she left......

"Your Highness is in danger here, and the concubine is worried about ......"

"Don't worry, Lone has his own measure," Before Pei Huizhao finished speaking, Xiao Zhen interrupted, "You quickly take Chang Mao and Ziliang to go first, and Lone arranges Yin Luo to protect you on the road." ”

"No, the concubine wants to go with His Highness," Pei Huizhao suddenly hugged Xiao Zhen around his waist, leaned on his shoulder, and whispered: "Jun is the rock, the concubine is Pu Wei, the concubine is born according to His Highness, where His Highness goes, the concubine will go." ”

"Hui Zhao......" Xiao Zhen wanted to speak, Xiao Ying shouted: "What, brother Huang, you entered the palace this time, isn't the imperial sister-in-law still going with Changmao and Ziliang?" The royal brother told them to go first, could it be... Do you have ulterior motives when you go out of the city this time? ”

Yin Luo was still sitting on the carriage seat waiting, seeing that the situation was unfavorable at the moment, he immediately called Xiao Zhen to ask Xiao Zhen what he should do, but Xiao Zhen still hesitated, Pei Huizhao saw him hesitate, immediately made a decision, slapped the horse's buttocks, and the horse immediately ran up, Yin Luo reacted, immediately whipped the horse, rushed out of the encirclement, and galloped away.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Cheng Shu hurriedly shouted at the soldiers behind him: "What are you doing here, why don't you chase it quickly!" ”

"No need," Xiao Ying snorted casually, Cheng Shu hurriedly rolled back to him, and asked in a low voice, "Your Highness, why don't you chase?" ”

"You don't have to chase it, you have a handle in your hand, and you can have a piece of evidence," Xiao Ying sneered.

Cheng Ling understood what he meant, and he also hurriedly laughed out loud, flattering: "Your Highness is really clever!" ”

Xiao Ying was immersed in the sound of praise and couldn't extricate himself, and after a long while, he turned around, he stretched out his hand to the city, and said with a smile: "Brother Huang, please." ”
