186 Darkest Hour
The prince is too conceited after all, everyone in the Royal Forest Army seems to be actually good, and all of them have a martial arts foundation.
However, they have not experienced the battlefield, and it is especially unknown what they are like on paper.
In addition, there must be some people who are against the water, and it is really hard to say what the final victory or defeat will be.
The gate of Bianjing City is besieging the city, and the sound of killing is shaking the sky.
However, whether it is King Lian or the crown prince, they are still in their original positions.
King Lian was waiting, waiting for the traitor hiding in the Imperial Forest Army to help him open the city gate.
And the prince was waiting, waiting for the result of what he had just asked people to do.
At this time, Bianjing City was not calm at all.
There was no one on the streets, and the people were huddled in their homes early, closed to many homes, and there were no lights even on.
As if this way, people will not find out that there are people in the house.
And the wealthy nobles and the families of officials all blew up.
Chen Sheng, the vanguard of the Imperial Forest Army, brought a team of officers and soldiers, and they stood at the door of these people's houses.
Then, without saying a word, he stood at the door with a spear in his hand.
The Hua family is no exception, with heavily guarded soldiers standing at the front door and back door.
When I asked them anything, they just pretended that they didn't hear it, and wanted to force their way out, but they were greeted by Sensen's cold weapons.
Everyone was terrified and didn't know what was going on, especially some people could faintly hear the cries of people nearby, and even the sound of fighting and shouting......
Obviously, the city gate has not been opened, and the city has not been breached, why is there chaos inside?
The Hua family and the others were all sitting in the main hall, and the family members were also gathered in an orderly manner.
There are also the samurai invited before, Hua Minhao will guard them at various entrances and walls together with the middle-aged family members in the family, for fear that something will happen, and when the time comes, it will be good to warn and resist.
And the Mei Lan Zhuju left by Hua Minyu and the spies cultivated by Hua Bingqian in Washington, this is not the time to hide, nearly fifty spies perform their duties, some pay close attention to the situation at the door, and some go out to inquire about the situation in other homes.
They were imprisoned by others so suddenly that they didn't know what was going on in other people's homes.
In addition to the householders, samurai, and secret guards, the servants of the household carried large vat and vat of wine to the wall.
Suppose that in the end, the family members did not stop the soldiers who broke through the door, and the fire burned the matter.
But that's just the final thought of the jade burning.
In the final analysis, they are not a foreign invasion, but the crown prince and King Lian are fighting for the throne, and it is not good for them to kill these nobles.
It can't be that no matter who ascends the throne in the end, the emperors and nobles of the entire Bianjing City will be gone!
Although everyone did not know the intentions of the Imperial Forest Army now, they were still generally optimistic.
Although, there is a faint fear in my heart, knowing that they are different.
They have long been a thorn in the side of the crown prince and the party of King Lian.
At this moment, there is no one to help them but on their own.
Especially, today, when the capital of Bianjing was in chaos, and King Lian's army was approaching the city, and the crown prince was crusading against the death of Concubine Cheng, Wu Xing had already brought a group of people and Ling Si to bring the Empress Dowager Xie out of the imperial tomb.
It's just that the city gate was suddenly sealed and he couldn't get out, so Hua Bingyou proposed to take Empress Dowager Xie to his home, so that although there were many dangers, the secret guards and spies didn't need to protect them in two ways.
After Ling Si sent Empress Dowager Xie, he took all the people stranded in the city and hid it.
If it is really time to fight desperately, the whole army will be wiped out and there will be no turning back.
It's a pity that they have too few people in the city, only a hundred.
These are all good at fighting against a hundred, but if they really encounter thousands of troops, it is also a tiger that is difficult to defeat a group of monkeys.
It's just that at this moment, Ling Si knows that it is both a crisis and a turning point, and the master and his wife have been planning for many years in these few days.
Even if it is broken, it is worth it.
Outside the door, Ling Si led people to guard closely.
Inside the door, the Chinese family sat around, and they were also very vigilant.
At the top sat the Empress Dowager Xie and the old lady.
Empress Dowager Xie is more than ten years older than Xie, and her career as a horse warrior when she was young has added a touch of tenacity and heroism.
Xu has experienced vicissitudes and seen strong winds and waves, and compared with the Xie family, who is also from the Xie family, he is more open-minded and not easy to ignore.
If you say that Hua Minyun is now, although her face is more like Xie's, her temperament and other aspects are more suitable for this aunt and mother-in-law.
After all, the Xie clan has always been in the boudoir, and it is not comparable to people who have gone through the battlefield like this and have really seen blood on their hands.
At this time, Empress Dowager Xie was still calm, even if she was alone, but her momentum was outstanding, and she couldn't say a word of dissatisfaction when she pressed the old Xinguo Gong who had been idle for a long time on the side.
Empress Dowager Xie took a sip of tea and greeted Lao Xinguo: "Grandpa Laoguo, I'm causing you trouble." ”
The old man snorted the corners of his mouth, and hurriedly humbled himself: "Where is it, the mother is laughing, Yu Gong, you are the queen mother, and it is an honor for the minister to do a meager part to protect you; Privately, our Hua family is fortunate to be a family with you, helping each other in difficulties, and it is appropriate to help each other in the same boat. ”
Saying this, Lao Xinguo Gong actually almost fainted in his heart.
Oh my God, how is the Hua family going to live through the current difficulties, the day is going to kill his Hua family, thinking that the Hua family may end up in his hands, the heart of the old Xin Guogong is dripping blood.
Even if he died, he wouldn't be able to see his father and grandfather!
After thinking about it, I can't wait to beat the three rabbit cubs he gave birth to in the family to death.
What's going on?
No one told him about such a terrible thing?!
He only found out about this a few days ago, and knew that his eldest granddaughter was still alive and still doing such a terrible thing.
He, he, he, he, he has never done anything rebellious in his life, how can there be such a rebellious offspring?
Thinking of the unconscious second son, and thinking of the eldest granddaughter, he only felt that he would die on the spot.
It's all about it.
Originally, he was a little anxious when he heard that Zhou Jinhu came and left, and in his mind, he felt that what his daughter said was right, and now that they are being bullied everywhere, it is better to stand in line, and they can also be blessed.
Compared with the crown prince and the king of Qin, they are obviously more familiar with King Lian.
King Lian wanted to marry his maid back then, and his daughter also said that King Lian had the Qinglong Army in his hands, which was much stronger than the prince.
He has the biggest chance of winning.
In this way, he was shaken, thinking that it was better to stand in line with King Lian, and he forgot his high profile and unwillingness to intervene in the royal family's ambitions when King Lian and King Li, who was not yet the crown prince, fought for Hua Minyun.
When he heard that his son drove his grandson Zhou Jinhu away after breaking him apart, he was in a hurry and hurried to find his son.
Before he could think about it, he actually heard the news that his three sons told him that the girl was still alive and was coming back.
He...... He was forced to be in the same boat as them.
He fainted instantly.
When he finally recovered, the incident in Bianjing City changed, and then there was another Buddha in the family - Empress Dowager Xie.
Is this to want him to die? The people at the door broke in and saw the Empress Dowager Xie, they were speechless, and they had no life at all.
However, now he is just a bad old man with no power and no power, and he doesn't listen to or say anything, and he doesn't dare to refute anything.
He regretted his indisputable body more than once, if it wasn't for his poor health, would he be able to pass on the position to his son? I can't get back what I gave out now.
The Hua family is about to perish at his hands, what should I do!
Not to mention how anxious and frightened the old man was, Empress Dowager Xie listened to his words, nodded with a smile, then turned her head and talked to Xie and the others.
Over the years, she hibernated in the imperial mausoleum for the sake of her son, and in order not to leave suspicion to those in power, she cut off all contact with the outside world.
Whether it is the son, the Hua family or the Xie family.
Now, when she arrives at the Hua family, she naturally cares about all this.
Anyway, now that the arrow is ready to be sent, they are confined to their homes, and there is nothing to do left and right, so it is better to talk and reminisce.
Xie is also very happy about the arrival of the Empress Dowager Xie, now, she is very nervous, the situation in Bianjing City has changed, she is not worried about anything else, only about the girl who is wandering outside.
Her other children were around, but her daughter was the only one who was wandering.
This is a father, that's it!
The children have no ability, and she thinks about whether she will be injured by mistake when this army is in chaos.
Children are too capable, and they can't let go, will they rely on their own art to be bold and drill into danger?
The door had already been sealed by the soldiers, so she went back to the house and took a dagger and stuffed it in her sleeve.
Not only her, but also her father, they all discussed. If something happens at the right time, or if they are caught blackmailing their children, they will commit suicide.
Never give the enemy a chance.
Xie Shi knows that her daughter doesn't look free and flamboyant on the outside, she is crisp and neat when she starts a business, she is brave and resourceful, but her heart is the softest.
She seems to be more like the Xie family, she is resolute and righteous in her heart, and she values her relatives the most.
Among her relatives, it is their father and mother who worry her the most, and they can't be her stumbling block.
It can be said that Xie still has a ruthlessness in her bones, but she is still a little timid.
However, when her eldest sister came, she seemed to have found the backbone of her heart, as if she had returned to her childhood, when she followed her eldest sister and didn't have to worry about anything.
The Yang family has always been the wife of everyone, and she has her own determination to talk to the Empress Dowager Xie, and there is no reason to be worried. Her daughter-in-law, Chen, and her nephew, Wang, both sat with her.
Meng Shi was a little restrained at first, he couldn't let go, and he said more, but Empress Dowager Xie had a soothing power when she spoke, and it was slowly better.
There is also a only aunt Yu Shi, Meng arranged her to go with the servant woman, she wanted to make trouble, but Empress Dowager Xie was here, in the end, she was worried and obediently went to the side.
Nowadays, there is no distinction between men and women, and they are all gathered in one place.
While talking about the things outside, he anxiously waited for the news that Wu Xing and the others went out to investigate.
Although there was a hint of tension and solemnity in the air, it was generally peaceful.
Until Lan Yi came in.
Lan Yi's face was not good for everyone when they saw it.
Hua Bingqian frowned: "What's wrong?" ”
Lan Yi gave a simple salute, and then said directly: "Most of the people who have something to do with the Lian Wangfu have been wiped out!" ”
Everyone: "......"
Hua Bingyan's pupils shrank, and before he could speak, the old man Xin Guogong was already anxious: "How is the Hou family of Anyang?" ”
The Hou family in Anyang is Zhou Jinhu's family.
Lan Yi was silent: "When I go down, it's too late." ”
Lao Xinguo exclaimed: "Shulan? He rolled his eyes and fainted.
Everyone hurriedly stepped forward, and found that Lao Xinguogong's pulse was quite strong, and there was no danger to his life for the time being, so they calmed down.
Hua Bingqian waved his hand and asked someone to take the old man to the ear room next to the main hall to rest, but now don't go to the backyard at this time.
It's just that the atmosphere in the hall is unprecedentedly solemn.
Everyone stopped talking, and recently, Hua Bingyou waved his hand weakly and said to Lan Yi: "Tell me specifically, what is the situation." ”
Most of the guards have been sent out to investigate what's going on outside.
Lan nodded and described in detail: "The prince suddenly launched and killed all the henchmen of the vassal King Lian while King Lian was not in the city. ”
"Today, it is all the Lian Wang Party who destroys the door."
The Hou family in Anyang is just one of them.
"The Hou family of Anyang, except for the young master Zhou Jinhu who was by King Lian's side and escaped this catastrophe, everyone else was killed, and their heads were cut off, I heard that they were going to ...... Take it to the tower of the city, and negotiate with King Lian. ”
These are the conversations he heard hidden in the shadows, and he was used to seeing life and death, and he felt speechless.
This world is really going to be occupied by the prince, I'm afraid everyone is living in dire straits.
After all, being so cruel and murderous, it can be seen that he can't be a normal person.
"Even Princess Jingya's Mansion will not let go of ......"
"There is also the Yongguo Mansion, none of them escaped!" The Yongguo Mansion was where Lan San went, and he said that the Yongguo Mansion did not blink an eye until he died.
There was a commotion among the female dependents, and Meng Shi was extremely frightened: "You say, will those people kill them and ...... Kill us too. ”
She held Hua Minwan's hand tightly, and even her voice became much smaller in fear.
As if I was afraid of alarming the officers and soldiers outside!
Hua Bingwei is also scared of death, thinking about it is one thing, and really facing it is another.
At this time, he was really envious of the old man who fainted, and he really wanted to faint, so that he didn't have to face it.
He leaned closely on Hua Bingyou, pulling the corners of his clothes. Hua Bingyou pulled it for a long time, but he couldn't pull it off, so he had to give up, and he was not in the mood to break with the third child, so he pulled it if he wanted to.
The reason why he pulled Hua Bingyou was because he thought that most of these secret guards were from the second room, and they were left by the girl, and if anything happened, he would definitely save the second room first, and he would pestering the second brother to death, so that when they saved the second room, they could also save him by the way.
Maybe I'll be able to save my life.
Everyone was speechless, no one could answer Meng, and even Empress Dowager Xie only sighed.
No one thought that the prince was so crazy, you must know that the major families in Bianjing City are intertwined, and they are in the same spirit, although there are many disputes and different sides, but it is far from the time to destroy the door.
It is unheard of to exclude dissidents and take revenge on such a heinous level of brutality before ascending the throne.
Empress Dowager Xie turned her head and looked out through the open door, it was pitch black, and there were no stars or moons in the sky.
What a darkest hour!
