Chapter 693: True Hero
The lake was like ink at night, and a few boats swept quietly and almost imperceptibly across the lake, but they disturbed the lake, creating layers of ripples and destroying the eaves of the palace reflected in the ink.
Yan Gu stood on the bow of the boat, looking at the Huxin Pavilion that was getting closer and closer with his hands behind his back.
It's really weird.
For so many years, every time I think about it, my heart is surging and my blood is boiling.
But now that he has the chance to win, he is at peace again!
Zhang Huaipu stood beside Yan Gu, saw the situation outside the Huxin Pavilion, and said vigilantly: "Wang Zhan is standing at the entrance of the palace, and he is all vigilant!" ”
As the words fell, there was the sound of weapons rubbing against armor.
Yan Gu frowned, glanced at Zhang Huaipu, and snorted lightly: "He sees what happened on the shore, and now that he has one hand and one foot, what are you afraid of him doing?" ”
Zhang Huaipu sneered: "The last general is not afraid, but he thinks that Wang Zhan is a hard bone and is not easy to gnaw." ”
"Moreover, the more empty-handed people are, the more fearless they are."
When Yan Gu heard this, he suddenly thought of Jiang Lingran's crooked reasoning that sounded very reasonable at first glance, but he was crooked to the deep ditch of the cliff, and shook his head and chuckled.
This woman is tricky and tight.
Zhang Huaipu didn't understand what was funny about his words? But seeing the joy of Yan Gu's smile, he laughed together.
Yan Gu was interrupted by his noisy laughter, and his heart was disappointed, and he looked at him unhappily and said, "What are you laughing at!" ”
Zhang Huaipu hurriedly stopped laughing when he heard this, saw Yan Guyin's cold face, shook his head in fright, and said, "The last will be... It's for His Highness to be happy. ”
Yan Gu's expression was a little pale, but he was still impatient: "Be smart in the future, I hate stupid people the most." ”
Zhang Huaipu was busy and said yes.
While sighing at Yan Gu's moodiness in his heart, he couldn't stop thinking, is Jiang Lingran the smart person that Yan Gu likes?
The ship docked quickly.
Yan Gu walked outside the hall and faced Wang Zhan, who was guarding the door single-handedly, and said: "This king has come to ask my father for peace, and I am bothered to give it a convenience to the king, and I will be grateful for it from now on." ”
Wang Zhan looked at Yan Gu, his expression was a little dazed, and he seemed to be entangled in something.
In short, after Yan Gu's words, he couldn't respond immediately.
It wasn't until there was a cough in the hall that Wang Zhan's eyes moved slightly, and he glanced sideways at the hall with the doors and windows closed.
"Commander of the King?" Zhang Huaipu didn't have the patience to spend time with him, and shouted threateningly.
The corners of Wang Zhan's lips opened and closed a few times, but he didn't say anything, but knelt down first.
"The last general is old, and he doesn't ask for anything else, just to believe that His Royal Highness the king can let go of the last general's family."
Yan Gu likes this feeling of being bowed down to and holding the life and death of others in his hands.
He leaned down and helped the person up with a friendly attitude: "It's natural. ”
"Commander Wang, don't think nonsense, go down and rest quickly."
"This place is guarded by the king's men."
Wang Zhan stood up with the help of his strength, wiped the corners of his tear-glistening eyes, and left with a heavy step.
Zhang Huaipu looked coldly at the boat offshore, and sneered: "It's an acquaintance." ”
Yan Gu said: "In the face of life and death, honor and disgrace, and interests, who is stupid? ”
Zhang Huaipu smiled and nodded: "What His Highness said is true." ”
Yan Gu didn't have time to listen to his sycophants, and ordered coldly: "Without my order, not a single mouse can go into the water." ”
Zhang Huaipu nodded yes, then looked at the people who followed, waved his hand and said, "Surround it!" ”
The crowd listened to the command.
Zhang Huaipu stepped forward and pushed open the door of the hall and invited Yan Gu in.
The hall is brightly lit, the needles can be smelled quietly, the veil is heavy, and the sandalwood contains a strong medicinal fragrance.
Zhang Huaipu lifted the veil layer after layer, and muttered tirelessly: "What can these things block?" A fire burned out! ”
Yan Gu's focus is not on this veil.
It's so quiet!
The emperor was poisoned and unconscious, not to mention, the queen and the crown princess, can they really be stable at this moment of life and death without crying, being irritated or collapsing?
A strange feeling spread from the bottom of my heart.
Zhang Huaipu lifted another layer of veil, and saw a small red clay stove on the ground, and a medicine jar on the stove, which was boiling and boiling, exuding a strong smell of medicine.
Zhang Huaipu couldn't get used to smelling this, stepped forward and kicked it over, muttering: "This is too unsophisticated, the emperor and queen are still there, just boiling medicine in the palace?" ”
"Aren't you afraid of getting drunk with nobles?" The words are good, but the tone is mocking and sarcastic.
Yan Gu didn't know what he thought, his brows furrowed, he stepped forward and lifted another layer of veil, and walked in quickly.
When he finally arrived at the inner hall, he saw that the hall was empty.
His mind was confused.
After coming back to his senses, his first reaction was to be deceived.
He was deceived by Jiang Lingran!
He trusted her so much that even... Even... She actually lied to him!
How can she tell a lie more truthfully than the truth!?
The sadness was quickly suppressed, followed by extreme anger.
Scold!
What about being able to deceive?
This palace is full of his people, where can they flee?
The silent hall suddenly sounded the sound of "clicking".
Zhang Huaipu was wondering why there was no one in the hall, and when he heard the sound, he subconsciously followed the sound, and saw that on the wall where the Meilan bamboo chrysanthemum jade carving was hung, a palm-sized silver ball rolled along a wooden path similar to a field ditch embedded in the wall.
It seems that the weight of the silver ball is too heavy, and the wooden road that falls is clattering.
He had never seen it before, and he was stunned.
I thought there was a new thing in this palace, right?
I wonder how much this solid silver ball is worth?
When Yan Gu saw this scene, he was like a great enemy, and almost immediately raised his feet and rushed out, shouting in his mouth: "Run, you've been tricked!" ”
Before Zhang Huaipu heard this, he saw that the wooden road was overwhelmed and collapsed.
A large amount of water-like stuff leaked out of the wooden passage, stretching along the walls, accumulating puddles under the corners.
The heavy silver ball had nothing to support, and it fell to the ground with a clatter, knocking down one of the lampstands below, which then affected another lampstand.
One pours and the other is implicated.
The clatter never stopped.
Zhang Huaipu only found out at this time that there were so many lamp stands in this hall.
No wonder it's dazzling!
But this is not the time to think about this, because after the lampstand fell to the ground, the lamp oil spilled all over the ground.
And the lamp oil met the spark, and with a bang, I saw the fire dragon rising from the ground, and instantly burned the curtains of the pile.
If you look closely, it is not water stains that leak from the wooden path, but fire oil that flows along the wall!!
No wonder when the city gate was breached, the city gate soldiers only used bows and arrows, not fire, but it turned out that these fire oil were used to bury them!
Zhang Huaipu's eyes widened in shock, and a howl squeezed out of his throat, and his tone changed sharply.
He kicked the sparks stuck to his toes as he hurried out for his life.
Yan Gu ran out of the palace gate, and before he could let go, he saw a feather arrow in front of him, his heart tightened, his throat was suffocated, and he was stunned for a moment, so that he couldn't dodge in time.
I only heard a muffled "bang" behind me.
He turned his head in horror and saw Zhang Huaipu who fell to the ground with a feather arrow between his eyebrows.
Yan Gu Muran's face was furious, the corners of his mouth opened and closed several times, and he couldn't say what he wanted to say.
Immediately after that, a rain of arrows came from all directions.
One by one, the armor guards of the temple fell to the ground.
And on the shore, countless eunuchs were like ice on their faces, armed with bows and arrows.
When Yan Gu saw this, his throat seemed to be stuffed with an ice hockey puck, and he was so excited that he broke out in a cold sweat, and his heart ached.
These people? How could it be!
What went wrong?!
What about his soldiers? Fengzhou and the patrol battalion add up to 50,000 people, can't they destroy a few eunuchs?!
Wu Dehou and Wang Zhan stood side by side, their eyes coldly looking at the raging fire on the Lake Center Pavilion.
Wang Zhandao: "In the end, it was the Hou Ye who was resourceful and came up with a plan to let the chamberlain and the forbidden army change clothes. ”
Yan Gu's goal is very clear, since he broke through the palace gate, he only killed the forbidden army, but the palace maids and attendants ignored it.
Wu Dehou thought of this in advance, so he gave a strategy of stealing beams and replacing pillars.
In this way, more than half of the forbidden army was saved.
There was no relaxation on Wu Dehou's face, and the distant firelight shone into his eyes, reflecting a little tears, and it also clearly reflected the vertical and horizontal ravines on his face.
As if he had suddenly aged for decades, he sighed: "Even if I go to the eighteenth layer of hell, it will be difficult to repay the life of this body." ”
Wang Zhan's expression darkened when he heard this.
After a moment of silence, he said: "They are all true heroes and men who defend their families and countries!" ”
"From the moment they voluntarily put on the armor of the Praetorian Army, they knew what the outcome would be, but they did not back down."
"Therefore, they don't need Hou Ye's sympathy and guilt."
