Crises abound (3)

The confusion at the gates did not last long, and it was not long before a man dressed in the commander's uniform arrived with a group of soldiers.

The man at the head has a tall posture, thick eyebrows and big eyes, a wheat-colored complexion, and is wearing battle armor, and his momentum is extraordinary, and his appearance looks somewhat similar to General Wen.

As soon as he came, he immediately stabilized the situation, and he asked in a deep voice: "Where is the woman who showed the emperor's personal token?" ”

"It's this girl, but Commander Wen, she seems to know the masked man who broke through the city gate." Some of the guards stood up to report.

"Oh?" Commander Wen looked at me, paused, and walked towards me.

He bowed to me and asked, "Seeing that you are not wearing anything from the palace, may I ask the girl, how can you have the emperor's personal token?" ”

"Commander Wen, you are wrong, I am a person from the palace, just a small female official of the Rite Division, and I came out this time to help the emperor do something." I replied to him with a palace salute, which was a female official's courtesy, and he should understand what I meant.

I can't say that I'm a palace maid, otherwise an ordinary palace maid can get the emperor's things, which is indeed a little suspicious.

However, it is really strange that since the Wen family wants to rebel, Commander Wen is not in the palace at this time, but comes to the gate of the city, and is so polite to me.

It doesn't make sense, he should take me down immediately at this time, what I have in my hands is the emperor's thing.

"Since you have a token, why doesn't the girl wait for me to arrive, but instead let your people break in?" Commander Wen pondered for a moment and asked puzzled.

"Commander Wen, when you arrive, will you still let me go?" I thought it was funny, and he said that he looked like he would let me go.

After hearing this, Commander Wen looked puzzled, and he smiled: "Girl's words are really strange, you are not the one who committed the crime, why don't I let it go, it seems that there may be a misunderstanding between us." ”

Misunderstand?

Could it be that the Wen family rebelled against him without knowing about it? Could it be that only the Guards were involved in this? The Outer Guard is just acting on orders?

I wondered.

No way, the emperor should know the consequences of handing over the talisman to me, and also understand that once he does not go to court, I will begin to fulfill my agreement with him.

"So you mean, I can get out of town?" I asked tentatively.

Commander Wen readily agreed: "Of course you can!" It's just that your people wounded my guards, and when your business is done, I have to let him come back and apologize to my people. ”

Commander Wen was so hearty and said so frankly, but it made me a little uneasy.

Did I misunderstand?

I thought about it carefully, and indeed every step of the way, I did it according to the agreement.

"Thank you, Commander Wen." I calmly thanked him.

Commander Wen waved his hand and said, "Get out of the way!" ”

The guards gave me a way out of the city, but I didn't move, I hesitated again and again, and tentatively asked Commander Wen: "Commander Wen, may I ask you a question?" ”

"What does the girl want to ask? Let's get straight to the point. Commander Wen was relaxed and quickly agreed.

I asked in a deep voice, "Why are the guards blocking Miyagi today?" ”

"The girl doesn't know about this?" Commander Wen looked surprised, but then he calmly explained to me, "Today, when the court is approaching, there are assassins assassinating the emperor, how can you just let go of such things that damage the royal prestige of Luanling." ”

"Assassins?" I pretended not to know about it.

Commander Wen said: "Yes, but I also acted on orders, and my brother didn't tell me too much, but there is chaos in the palace now, and I don't know the specific situation." ”

Listening to the meaning of his words, he really didn't know, he only knew that the emperor needed to block the city gate when he was assassinated, and he couldn't let the assassins go.

That makes sense.

Ah Qin had been standing behind me, silent, and I said to her, "Miss Ah Qin, do you think we are going to go out of the city to meet your son-in-law, or are we just waiting here?" ”

"Miss Luo, Childe only ordered me to protect you, and the rest didn't say anything." Ah Qin lowered his head and said.

I'm a little strange, saying this kind of thing doesn't seem to be in line with Ah Qin's temperament, but if I think about it carefully, she is just cold and sincere, and she obeys her orders, so it doesn't seem strange.

I suddenly had a strange feeling that I couldn't put it into words, but I always felt that something was wrong.

What's wrong?

I couldn't figure it out even if I racked my brain.

"Then thank you Commander Wen, please Commander Wen open the city gate, someone will enter the city later, I hope Commander Wen will not stop it." I looked at Commander Wen and said slowly.

Commander Wen was puzzled: "Someone entered the city?" ”

I heard the sound of horses' hooves, and I knew in my heart that Leng Cheng had brought the troops back, but there was still some distance to hear the sound, when did my hearing get so good?

After a while, a guard came up to report: "Commander Wen, someone from outside the city has come with troops to see the armor, it is the elite unit of the Luanling army." ”

Commander Wen looked at me, "The one you said?" ”

I said respectfully: "Yes, please give way to Commander Wen, we are on the orders of the emperor." ”

"Since it's the emperor's order, let's get out of the way, come on! Remove the barricades and make way! Although Commander Wen looked puzzled, he still moved the barricades as I said, making way for the Luan Ling army brought back by Leng Cheng.

When I walked to the gate of the city, I saw Leng Cheng riding towards me, and when he was about to ride, he slowed down, and he stretched out his hand to me.

I was stunned for a moment, then I stretched out my hand, which seemed weak, but very strong, and pulled me and gently put me on his horse.

He put his arm around my waist, sat me down, and whispered in my ear, "I'm back." ”

I answered, Ah Qin got on Ah Yuan's horse, we didn't stay long, thanked Commander Wen, and ran directly to Miyagi.

There were guards guarding the gate of the palace city, and Leng Cheng flashed the emperor's personal token, and they let us go, and we entered the palace city in a mighty way, and we didn't encounter many obstacles.

The doubt in my heart rose again, and we entered through the main palace gate, and happened to meet Wen Qi walking out with four teams of guards.

They seemed surprised to see us coming, and exclaimed, "What people! ”

Leng Cheng stopped, he raised his hand, and coldly said a word in my ear: "Kill." ”

The Luan Ling army that followed behind us rushed forward directly past us.

"Kill! ——”

The shouts came, and the guards didn't seem to react, and they were caught off guard by us.

For a while, the two sides fought hard, I didn't expect that this scene was so tragic, almost unilaterally tortured, and by the time Wen Qi reacted, it was too late.

"Quick! Tell my father! Wen Qi shouted.

Several guards took advantage of the chaos to escape.

"Don't chase, let him go." Leng Cheng arranged. "Wait for reinforcements to arrive, and catch them all."

"Yes!" Ah Yuan took the order.

My uneasiness surfaced, no, what did Leng Cheng want to do? The guards did not resist, and with the reaction of Commander Wen at the gate of the city, did the Wen family really want to rebel?

If not, then what is the fight now?

"Stop......" I said with a shudder and cold heart. Stop it! ”

I was inconvenient to turn around right away, and I could only grasp his hand holding the reins, only to find that his green tendons were bulging, and his hands were clenched.

Is he nervous too?

"Leng Cheng!" I shouted his name out loud.

Leng Cheng did not react.

"Drive!" Instead, he took me and rode deeper into the palace.

Behind him, Yuan Aqin also followed, as well as some cavalry.

I was anxious: "Leng Cheng, where are you going?" Stop them! I may be mistaken! The Wen family is not opposed! ”

"Childe, the emperor is in the Tianru Pavilion." Ah Yuan caught up with us and said.

"Got it." Leng Cheng turned around and rode towards the Tianru Pavilion.
