Chapter 655: Tonight's Battle Drums in the Capital (3)
Hong Zhan did not show up in the end, but asked people to escort the second prince and the imperial grandson over and give them to Zhu Man and Nan Shen. Even the old emperor, three generations of ancestors and grandchildren, were locked up in the side hall together.
ordered Lin Yuma's family and Tan Xiang's family to be escorted into the palace together, and Xiao Han ordered: "Go and invite Zhong Lang to come." β
Zhu Man, who has been clothed and fed since he was a child, still can't stand the hardships of the past few days after all, and now that the big thing is settled, he wants to rest, and when he turns his head and can't find Nan Shen, he said to Xiao Han, and took his own guards to bathe and change clothes.
People came and went around, and they were all trembling palace maids and attendants cleaning up the battlefield under the surveillance of the Xia Qi coalition army. Xiao Han stood up, felt bloody and angry, frowned, and walked out of the main entrance of the main hall.
On the square in front of the main hall, there were dead and wounded everywhere, and the eyes were covered with blood.
Nan Shen carried the steel knife with a blood-stained blade, looking around blankly.
There are always some fierce concubines and desperate and crazy palace maids in the palace, who either commit suicide by hanging the beam or set fire to the palace. Therefore, in today's palace, there are still several places where fires are being put out, and black smoke is rising into the sky.
"That's ......"
Minami muttered to himself.
How familiar is the scene in front of you?
She remembered her dream in a trance.
Just after he was pushed into the Taiye Pool, the palace of Great Xia became a human purgatoryβeven more tragic than the current situation, with cries and screams everywhere, and at a glance, stumps, corpses, and faces that did not blink in the eyes of death......
Nan Shen's face twisted and closed his eyes.
She always remembered that in that dream, the last scene she saw was a bloody, hideous and miserable senior brother, lying on a mountain of corpses, with arrows stuck in front of him and behind him......
"Two fools?!" A voice rang out behind her.
Nan Shen was shocked, and then she felt a warmth in her hand, and when she looked down, a clean and white hand was gently pulling the steel knife out of her tightly held hand.
"Senior brother." Nan Shen suddenly returned to reality, closed his eyes tiredly, and didn't even want to turn around.
Zhong Huan's chatter opened the floodgates affectionately: "You are more daring than fighting!" What if my medicine doesn't get into these people's mouths? Could it be that with these few hundred men, you are planning to capture the capital of South Vietnam? Talking about the old man's well-known skill in training dead soldiers, I don't know how many people come and go, and there are many dart bags and hidden weapons. When the time comes, I will recognize who you are, and I will not be able to kill you two bold second goods......"
"Senior brother, I'm very tired ......" With these words, Nan Shen, who finally realized that he had lost his strength, slipped softly, slowly closed his eyes, and fainted.
Zhong Huan hurriedly hugged her, so angry that he gently reached out to twist her face, gritted his teeth and complained: "It's not your family's country, so desperate!" What a fool! β
Sensing that there seemed to be someone standing next to him, Zhong Xuan raised his head to look.
It's Xiao Han. was looking at him quietly, and Nan Shen: "Zhong Lang." β
"What do you want to do if you have to get someone to bring me here?" Zhong Xuan only glanced at him, and then lowered his head and gently wiped the blood on Nan Shen's face.
"I'm afraid that you will use that ability to fly away from the sky again, and you will run away in the blink of an eye." Xiao Han smiled, as warm as ever, "Brother Zhong, I want to talk to you." β
"Who's your brother?! What to talk about? β
"My background."
"Your background is none of my business?!"
"My life experience is related to everyone in the world."
Zhong Huan's hand paused, squinted and raised his head to look at Xiao Han: "Are you crazy?" β
"From birth to now, it is at this moment that I am the most awake. Everything in front of you is also the most real. Xiao Han was still calm, as he was.
Zhu Man, who had finished washing, was dressed in clean clothes, his hair was still wet, and he only curled it slightly, and walked out of the side hall. looked at the two people facing each other, and then saw Nan Shen, who was in Zhong Huan's arms, who seemed to be unconscious, and blurted out: "What are you doing?" As soon as you have solved the great enemy, you have to turn against you?! β
β¦β¦
Great Xia, Imperial Palace, Pear Blossom Hall.
The Empress Dowager hugged the new emperor Nanmeng tightly, her face gloomy.
On the ground in front of her, an open letter was thrown.
From the corner marks, two lines of words are faintly revealed:
ββ¦β¦ And with the help of your army, after going down to the whole territory of South Vietnam, it will be returned. In addition, the South Vietnamese treasury is paid 30% ......"
Shinu, whose face was also ugly, stood aside, his fingers trembled slightly, and he bit his lip for a long time before he whispered: "Empress Dowager, the eldest princess is in his hands......"
ββ¦β¦ A thief who can't be killed! The mourning family knows that they should not be soft-hearted for a while! This kind of evil seed should be killed back then! It's better to kill the wrong one than to let it go! The Empress Dowager gritted her teeth.
Nan Meng raised his face and looked at her blankly, suddenly stretched out his hand, wiped a handful of tears for her, and asked softly: "Imperial grandmother, will anyone in the court force us to leave my aunt's life alone......
The Empress Dowager shook violently, and said stiffly: "Who dares!?" Lizhu went on an expedition for the Great Xia, but it fell into the hands of thieves. At this time, if anyone dares to say that they want to ignore her, they are ungrateful and mercenary, and the mourning family will cut him with a thousand knives! β
β¦β¦
Nan Xi held her stomach, held her head high, squinted at the letter on the imperial case in front of her, and couldn't stop her tears from flowing down.
"Pity, don't worry. Lizhu is there, her senior brother is also there, Your Majesty will definitely be fine. Nan Xi's mother, Mrs. Ning Guo in the past, and Mrs. An Guo now persuaded while wiping her tears with a handkerchief.
Nan Xi held his bulging belly with both hands and closed his eyes: "The courtiers will definitely make a fuss for me to send troops to save Your Majesty." β
Mrs. An Guo was shocked: "But Your Majesty is in the hands of that thief, if you send troops, you are only afraid of Your Majesty's life......"
"But if it is for this to 'lend' the Western Qi army to that person and let him pacify South Vietnam, I am afraid that in the end, Western Qi and Great Xia will make wedding dresses for others. At that time, the courtiers will attack him in groups, and it must be said that His Majesty has not been in danger for his own personal anger and has no heart for the king......"
Nan Xi leaned on the high back of the queen's throne, muttered with her eyes closed, and was entangled in embarrassment.
Mrs. An Guo hesitated for a moment and asked in a low voice: "After all, that person is from the Xiao family, and the entire Xiao family is still in Great Xia. Also, didn't you say that when Beidi sent that princess to kiss, Mrs. Xiao also entered Beijing? Did he really disregard the lives of the entire Xiao clan? β
"He has Lizhu in his hand, what are he afraid that the Great Xia Imperial Court will deal with the Xiao family? What's more, Great Xia still has to rely on the Xiao family to defend the Beidi border. The Xiao family only needs to say that he is not of the Xiao family's bloodline, and they don't know that he has different aspirations, so they will cry and beg for a few words. The Empress Dowager has steps, but she can only come down ......"
Nan Xi raised his hand to support his forehead, and gently analyzed it little by little, hearing that Mrs. An Guo became more and more depressed.
"What can I do!?"
"Only...... Wait and see ...... again."
"What are you waiting for?"
"Wait for the news of Lizhu. There must be a way for her to get the word out of them......"
"Lizhu, can you do it?"
"Surely...... Absolutely! β
