Chapter 58: The Chang'an Rebellion
There was also a hint of surprise in the eyes of several black-clothed people, and they immediately walked to the edge of the cliff to check, only to see the clouds and mist curling on the top of the mountain, and they couldn't see the situation below clearly, but if they fell down at such a height, they would definitely not be able to survive.
So the men in black glanced at each other, nodded, and left the cliff together.
The clouds and mist under the cliff are surrounded, and the breeze blows, and the clouds and mist move with the wind and disperse and gather.
I saw two figures standing on a protruding rock between the cliff walls, holding a green vine growing on the cliff wall in their hands, snuggling together tightly, but they were motionless and staring at the situation on the top of the cliff.
After a while, the woman said, "They should have left, right?" ”
The man nodded, "Let's go up!" So the two of them jumped to the top of the cliff with the help of green vines.
Zhao Ling glanced at the bottom of the cliff, remembering the situation just now, the wind was blowing in his ears, and he was still vaguely afraid, he lowered his gaze and looked at Murong Xun, "How did you know that there was a protruding stone below?" ”
Murong Xun helped his somewhat messy sideburns, glanced at Zhao Ling lightly, and then looked away and said lightly: "Good luck!" When the first prince wanted to put Zhao Che to death in the paddock, she risked her life to break into the paddock and reported to Zhao Che, and the two were chased all the way to the edge of the cliff by the former prince's men and horses, and they deceived the ears and eyes of the former prince in this way.
Zhao Ling looked at Murong Xun deeply, didn't ask much, just took Murong Xun's hand, blew a whistle, and ran to the side of the two of them after chasing the wind.
After riding and chasing the wind for a while, I gradually reached the foot of the mountain, and there was a plain in front of me, if it wasn't for the fact that the sun on my head was a little heavy, riding a horse, blowing the wind like an outing. Seeing that Murong Xun's fair face was a little red from the sun, when he passed by a lotus pond, Zhao Ling stopped his horse, took a lotus leaf and handed it to Murong Xun, and said softly: "Cover the sun!" ”
Zhao Ling's eyes were gentle, and the corners of her mouth had a shallow smile, which made Murong Xun a little uncomfortable, she coughed lightly, turned her head away, and said, "I'm so delicate!" ”
Zhao Ling raised the lotus leaf in his hand and looked at Murong Xun motionlessly, with the intention that she would not give up if she didn't continue, Murong Xun was a scoundrel, so he had to take the lotus leaf and hold it above his head, blocking the vicious sunshine.
Zhao Ling smiled with satisfaction, got on the horse, grabbed the horse's belly, and drove the horse at a gallop, looking very good.
After walking for a long time, there was still a stick of incense before it arrived outside the east gate of Chang'an. Zhao Ling stopped the horse suddenly, Murong Xun also looked around vigilantly, and a faint smell of blood wafted over, surrounded by dense grass, the wind passed, and the grass swayed and swayed.
"What people!" Zhao Ling jumped off his horse and landed steadily, pointing his dagger at the grass.
"It's me!" A neutral voice came, and it was impossible to tell whether it was a man or a woman. I saw a white-haired figure slowly standing up from the grass, she was dressed in blue, with sharp edges and corners, and her eyes were glowing with bewitching blood red.
Summer frost?
"Summer Frost! How are you? Zhao Ling also put away the dagger in his hand, looked at her suspiciously, clenched his fists with a hint of banter, and said with a smile: "Who has the ability to hurt you like this?" ”
There was still a trace of blood at the corner of Xia Shuang's mouth, she held her chest, ignoring Zhao Ling's banter, her face was full of seriousness, "Xia Rang!" ”
Xia Rang is Xia Shuang's father, but the name is so cold when it comes out of her mouth. She raised her eyes, and looked at Zhao Ling calmly with blood-colored eyes, "Something happened to Chang'an!" ”
Zhao Ling was taken aback, frowned and guessed what was going on, and asked, "What's the situation now?" ”
Xia Shuang said: "My brother was imprisoned by him, he controlled the secret guards who stayed in the Zijin Palace, and also controlled the palace, and secretly mobilized the military power in his hands, preparing to besiege Fuxiang Mountain, and wipe out all the people, I'm afraid there is no news about the people on the mountain!" And whether it is Lang Zhongling, who is otherwise forbidden to the security of the palace, or Yin Ling, who is in charge of the security of Chang'an, or the city gate guards, they have all surrendered to Xia Rang, and he has completely controlled Chang'an! ”
The cold color in Zhao Ling's eyes became more and more intense, "For today's plan, only this king will go back to mobilize the Zhenxi army!" ”
Xia Shuang frowned and said: "It's just that the prince is no longer the marshal of the Zhenxi Army, and the prince has no military talismans, how can he mobilize the Zhenxi Army?" ”
Zhao Ling's dark eyes were deep, "This king has his own way!" ”
Zhao Ling pondered for a moment before he came to Murong Xun's side again, looked at him deeply, and his eyes were unprecedentedly serious, "Xun'er, the situation is critical now, the third brother is afraid that he still knows the situation here, so I can only bother you to go back and inform Chang'an of the emergency!" ”
Now that they are in civil strife and watching from the wall, this is definitely a good opportunity for Murong Xun, but looking at Zhao Ling's gaze, Murong Xun couldn't help but nodded.
Zhao Ling was overjoyed, pinched the back of Murong Xun's hand, and said softly: "Be careful!" ”
Murong Xun nodded, and was about to drive the horse away, "Wait a minute!" Xia Shuang came to Murong Xun's horse, looked at Murong Xun suspiciously, and said lightly: "I'll go with you!" ”
Zhao Ling frowned and said, "But your body is ......."
Xia Shuang took a pill from her arms and poured it into her mouth, and in an instant, she only felt that the red around her eyes became more and more bewitching. Murong Xun glanced at Zhao Ling and said with a smile: "With Commander Xia here, it must be safer!" ”
After Zhao Ling nodded, the two sides acted separately.
Riding a horse, Murong Xun returned along the same road, but the person behind him was replaced by Xia Shuang, seeing that Murong Xun's body was a little stiff, Xia Shuang smiled lightly: "You seem to be afraid of me!" ”
Murong Xun did not speak, did not admit or deny.
After a pause, Xia Shuang said again: "You don't have to be afraid of me, even for Murong Yao's sake, I won't hurt you in the slightest, not to mention that you are still Princess Qin!" ”
Murong Xundai frowned, "Do you know my eldest brother?" ”
Xia Shuang smiled lightly, "Sort of!" When she spoke, there was a shallow tenderness in her tone.
When I went back, the speed was much faster, so in less than half a day, I had already reached the foot of the mountain, and at this time, I saw a team of soldiers and horses hurrying up the mountain, Murong Xun and Xia Shuang dismounted, and lay behind a boulder, only to see Xia Shuang's face was solemn, and there was a hint of mockery and disdain in his tone, "This old guy's movements are so fast!" ”
Murong Xun didn't care much about the life and death of the people on the mountain, but said lightly: "What is Commander Xia going to do?" ”
Xia Shuang's eyes were condensed with some murderous aura, "At this moment, it is too late to go up the mountain to inform Your Majesty to prepare early, Xia Shuang This is to go up the mountain to rescue Your Majesty and the Queen Mother, but it is inevitable that there will be swords and swords after staying for a while, the situation is critical, the princess is delicate, it is better to stay here and not move, just wait here!" ”
With that, Xia Shuang quietly followed the soldiers up the mountain.
Without Xia Shuang by his side, Murong Xun suddenly felt a lot more comfortable, but there were still Shangguan brothers on the mountain, Yingge Yanyu and Concubine De, no matter what, Murong Xun couldn't ignore them, so not long after Xia Shuang left, Murong Xun also went up the mountain.
In the distance, I heard the sound of a hand-to-hand fight, presumably there was already a fight on the mountain, and the main reason for Xia Rang's sudden rebellion was probably that the Queen Mother recruited almost all the powerful people in Chang'an City to Fuxiang Mountain, and several other members of the Elders' Pavilion were transferred out of Chang'an because of various things, so they gave Xia Rang a chance to take advantage of it! Is it just that all this is a coincidence?
And Xia Rang is one of the members of the Elders' Pavilion, and his martial arts are unfathomable. I don't know how long this old guy has been hiding in order to secretly develop his own power!
Tearing a piece of cloth and covering his face, Murong Xun performed light skills and went to find out the whereabouts of the three of them. When he arrived at the Queen Mother's tent, he saw that the Queen Mother and several of the ladies inside seemed to have been controlled, and Murong Xun didn't expect Xia Rang to come to Fuxiang Mountain in person.
The Queen Mother didn't have the slightest fear on her face, she just looked at Xia Rang in disappointment, and said bitterly: "Xia Rang, you are too disappointed to mourn the family!" ”
Xia Rang didn't have the slightest guilt on his face, he pulled the corners of his mouth, his gray beard trembled, and he looked more and more proud, "Your Zhao family has been sitting in this country for so long, it's time to change people!" As long as I catch your son, I will immediately send your mother and son to see the first emperor! ”
The Queen Mother drank the tea slowly, and looked at Xia Rang with deep eyes, "Then let the mourning family see, how did you let our mother and son go to see the first emperor!" ”
Xia Rangrang let one of his subordinates grab Zhao Ying, put the sword against her neck, and said: "I know that the Queen Mother's martial arts are world-famous, if the Queen Mother dares to make the slightest move, your daughter will die on the spot!" ”
Zhao Ying was so frightened that her face turned pale, and she looked at the Queen Mother with trembling lips, "Queen Mother, save me!" ”
The Queen Mother smiled faintly, glanced at Xia Rang lightly, and smiled disdainfully, "You are not worthy of the mourning family to do it yourself!" ”
Xia Rang only regarded this woman as the last arrogance, smiled coldly, and went out of the tent to arrest Zhao Che in person. Murong Xun searched around the tent, and did not see the whereabouts of Concubine De or the Shangguan brothers, it seemed that the three of them were not inside, and when they were thinking about leaving to look elsewhere, they found that the hem of their skirt was gently pulled, and Murong Xun was shocked and immediately put a silver needle against the neck of the person who came.
"Prince?" Murong Xun looked at the little man in front of him who was tightly covering his mouth with one hand, his eyes were shining, obviously frightened, and he looked very pitiful.
"Aunt Huang?" The prince let out a soft milk voice and exclaimed milkily.
Murong Xun immediately put away the silver needle in his hand, looked at the little man in front of him, reached out and touched his face, and asked, "Where is your mother?" ”
Zhao Zhi shook his head and said timidly: "I don't know!" After a pause, he looked at Murong Xun pitifully, shook her skirt, and said with a crying voice: "Aunt Huang, I'm afraid!" ”
A certain corner of Murong Xun's heart thought that she had been touched, and the ripples spread out one by one, she leaned over, gently hugged Zhao Zhi, patted him on the back and said, "It's okay, there is an imperial aunt!" ”
"I want my father and my mother!" Zhao Zhi wiped his tears and said.
"I'll take you to them, don't cry!" I don't know why, as soon as I saw this kid crying, Murong Xun's heart twitched, and he was very uncomfortable.
After Murong Xun made a silent gesture, he picked up Zhao Zhi again, and after looking at the surrounding situation, he left quietly.
