Chapter 366: Hongmen (1)
At night, the moon is bright and the stars are scarce.
The Imperial City of Chang'an under the night and moonlight presents a large expanse of black light, which looks like a terrifying beast.
Since Li Zenan's surrender, the night of the imperial city is no longer brightly lit and no longer reflected beautifully by all kinds of lights.
Three general-like people rode horses, followed by more than 300 people who were pressed by the black, and came all the way to the Wangxian Gate along the long street.
At this moment, the guards at the Wangxian Gate were the soldiers of Southern Wu, and they vigilantly set their eyes on those who came over.
Of course, the current Chang'an City is under the rule of the Southern Wu forces, and it is difficult for the enemy to enter so openly and swaggeringly like these people in front of him.
What's more, whether those people are dressed, equipped, or moved, especially their movements, it is obvious that they are the Southern Wu army.
In the middle of the three generals is a young general in white armor, who looks only fourteen or fifteen years old, but he is magnificent, heroic, and has a solemn atmosphere, which makes people feel very comfortable.
The generals defending the city stopped there.
Li Zenan is a time bomb, he is alive, he is a hot potato, but if he dies suddenly, then those forces in the Northern Tang Dynasty who are watching from the outside will definitely attack in anger, which makes them have to be cautious.
"General Xiao Fan?" The general recognized the identity of the white-armored young general, so he was slightly surprised.
The white-armored junior nodded slightly.
"What are you going to do?" The general asked.
"Enter the Imperial City." The strong man next to the white-armored junior replied.
The general defending the city shook his head: "We can't open the city gate without a warrant. ”
"Take it!" The white-armored young general shook his hand and threw out a thing, and the general defending the city caught it with one hand.
He glanced down and frowned, obviously feeling strange, but it was inconvenient for him to confront these people, so he turned his head and ordered: "Open the city gates!" ”
As the city gate slowly opened, this group of more than 300 people entered the imperial city in a neat manner.
……
……
Wash the dust outside the palace.
The handsome man, with his hair draped, sat cross-legged in front of the portrait in the palace, and no one could see his face.
Outside were the soldiers of Southern Wu guarding the Dust Washing Palace, all vigilantly looking at the distant places of the palace under the night and moonlight.
It's quiet, it's so quiet, and the whole palace feels like death at night.
The man seemed to be waiting for something.
After a long time.
In the distance, the sound of soldiers walking, led by three generals on horseback.
Riding a horse in the palace was something that would have happened in the past when the Northern Tang Dynasty ruled, and now the average Southern Wu people would not do this, but tonight's Baijia generals and others are going to do it on purpose.
The soldiers outside the Dust Washing Palace looked at them in amazement, wondering how such a group of people approached the Dust Washing Palace, because there was no need.
The men stopped outside the Dust Washing Palace.
The man in the palace was clearly aware of their presence, but still had his back to them, facing the portrait.
Soldiers outside the Dust Washing Palace stopped there with weapons.
"Li Zenan!" The white-armored young general turned over and dismounted, his eyes were full of cold lightning, staring at the back and shouting.
Sensing his menacing, the soldiers outside the Dust Washing Palace aimed their weapons at them.
"General Fan, please don't come nonsense!" A soldier shouted.
The white-armored young general didn't look at him, still staring at Li Zenan's back: "Do you know who I am?" ”
He reported to his family: "I am the son of Fan Rao, Fan Guang!" ”
"The revenge of killing my father, I didn't share the sky, the moment I got the news from my father, I began to prepare, today, I am here to kill you!"
When he said these words, it meant that his face was completely torn, and the more than ten soldiers outside the Dust Washing Palace pointed their weapons at him from afar, and one of them asked, "How the hell did you get in!?" ”
But Fan Guang didn't bother to answer him, and directly slapped the scabbard, and the saber flicked into his hand, shouting: "Do it!" ”
The sword flashed brightly, and his blade went straight to the door of the soldier with a pale face!
……
……
Fan Guang had already killed three people in a very short period of time.
It was a surprise that he was stronger than his father, Fan Rao.
These were his comrades-in-arms in the past, and they fought side by side, but he was ruthless.
By the time his knife was pulled out of the fourth man's belly, the garrison in front of the Dust Washing Palace had been completely resolved.
More than 300 people against more than 10 people, there is no suspense.
Fan Guang carried the knife, blood was dripping from the knife, his face was gloomy, and he went all the way to the depths of the Dust Washing Palace.
The man still sat there with his hair draped and his knees crossed, looking at the portrait, motionless.
"It's really calm," Fan Guang took the lead, and a group of more than 300 people walked towards the Dust Washing Palace in a dark manner, "Is this the so-called strong demeanor?" ”
He thought that his father had died at the hands of the other party, and in addition to hatred, he was also cautious in his heart.
He knew very well that Li Zenan was very strong, even if there were more than 300 people here, it was still in danger, and it was not a simple matter to kill the other party to avenge his father.
He moved forward one step at a time.
When the distance between the two sides was a foot, he stopped.
"Why?" He heard the other party say, "Fan Guang, I warned you, but you didn't listen. ”
Fan Guang's eyebrows raised, and shock began to flicker in his eyes.
He shifted his eyes forward to see the knife lying across the other's knee.
"Remove your armor!" He cried out in a lost voice: "Grandpa, how could it be you!?" ”
Jin An slowly stood up, turned around, and smiled at him.
Fan Guang's face was cloudy, and at the end, he burst out: "Do it!" ”
He struck first.
Then he heard the sound of dense footsteps outside, and it seemed that countless people and horses had appeared.
……
……
Guan Kuo really didn't expect that in such a situation now, someone would easily find him.
"Her Royal Highness the little princess wants to meet you."
The richly dressed maid of the Smoke and Rain Palace said to him.
"How did you find me?" Guan Kuo asked.
The palace maid just looked at him with a pretended dignity and did not answer.
This palace maid Guan Kuo has never seen it, and he doesn't think about his feelings very well, but he doesn't care, some people are just high-eyed, and they are actually not good, but they always don't look down on others.
He thought about it for a while, the ability of the Southern Wu Secret Mansion is quite large, and he has not deliberately hidden it recently, so it is not incomprehensible for the Southern Wu forces to find themselves.
He and Li Xiyun originally wanted to meet Ji Rusi, but for some reason, they have been lagging behind, and recently I heard that Ji Rushi will return to Jinling soon, and this time the other party took the initiative to find it, which is exactly what he wants.
"Lead the way." He stood up, patted the dust off his body, and said.
Recently, he has not met Tie Shan Wu, and now Tie Shan Wu is staying with Li Qianrong, so after Li Xiyun and Xiao Yao left, only those Changliu palace maids and palace guards were left here, but these people didn't care much about him.
The status of the Yanyu Palace maid should not be low, especially Ji Ru seems to trust her, she came over in a carriage, and the decoration of the carriage is quite beautiful.
Guan Kuo whistled, and the traceless mare who was flickering Li Xiyun in the distance ran over quite reluctantly.
Riding a horse and following the carriage for a long time, both sides were silent along the way, Guan Kuo felt that this atmosphere was very depressing, and he didn't like the posture of the palace maid, but he bragged a lot with Li Xiyun, so he couldn't bear such a time, so he asked himself: "How is Ji Ru lately, entering the palace to negotiate with Li Zenan, did Li Zenan embarrass her?" ”
He didn't care if the high-profile palace maid would answer him, he didn't particularly care about the vain face now.
Obviously, the palace maid didn't deliberately have any unpleasant thoughts with him, and replied in a lukewarm tone with some anger: "After Her Royal Highness the little princess came back, we found that she was injured, and when we asked her what was going on, she smiled, I don't know what Li Zenan did to her!" ”
Guan Kuo frowned, thinking that Li Zenan was really shameless to bully a little girl's family, but listening to what the palace maid said, Ji Ru should not have any big problems, and when the time comes, let's see what happened to the dead girl.
Just thinking about it all the way, he saw the military camp of Nanwu gradually approaching in the distance.
There was a vague uneasiness in his heart, since the situation in the Northern Tang Dynasty and Southern Wu was reversed, he began to reject these places, because once something unfavorable to him appeared in these places, he would immediately fall into danger, especially Guan Bangyun and other strong people were eyeing him.
patted the horse and told it to play by itself, but it did not enter the barracks.
He followed the palace maid slowly into the place where the tens of thousands of troops were stationed, and there was no one to stop him along the way, at most some curious soldiers glanced at him.
Going deep into the barracks, he saw a relatively large camp tent, he tilted his head and thought about it, feeling that this place was still in line with Ji Ruyi's identity.
As the maid entered the tent, there was no one inside.
He asked the palace maid who had been walking in front to lead the way, but was now about to turn back, "Where is your little princess?" ”
He has been in contact with Ji Ru so much, and he is familiar with Ji Ruyi's behavior, since the other party is anxious to see him, the most important thing is that he has not yet entered this military camp, Ji Ru is screaming and running out, saying something stupid turtle is really slow to spank and so on.
But not only did he not see Ji Ru like this, but even when he came to the place, there was no one else, which was a bit strange.
"The princess summoned, do you have to wait for you all the time? Guan Kuo, you take yourself too seriously! ”
The Smoke Rain Palace maid raised her head and responded in that posture that Guan Kuo hated.
Guan Kuo sneered.
"Look at your appearance, I've known Ji Ru for a shorter time than me, new here, right?"
"What did you say?" The maid of the Smoke and Rain Palace frowned.
"Ji Ru won't do that, at least for me, unless ......" A cold glint flashed in his eyes.
The maid of the Smoke and Rain Palace was still arrogant and didn't realize anything, but when Guan Kuo in front of him said the word "unless", the person suddenly disappeared.
She was slightly stunned, and in the next moment, a strong hand grabbed her show and lifted her up with one hand.
"Say, Who ordered you?" Guan Kuo narrowed his eyes and looked at her.
The Yanyu Palace maid really didn't expect this shocking change to happen, she was so frightened that she wanted to shout loudly, but because she was pinched by the neck, her pretty face turned red, and she couldn't shout a word.
"Very well," Guan Kuo said, "I am personally very afraid of death, and sometimes I feel very annoyed by this, so I like to see you self-righteous people afraid of death." ”
The person driving the carriage next to him pulled out the Wu hook knife with a "sonorous sound", and the surrounding Southern Wu soldiers who noticed the movement here also rushed over with their weapons.
"Put people down!"
An officer-looking man shouted.
Guan Kuo didn't pay attention to him, just observing the surrounding situation, to see how he should evacuate safely if something happened to him.
"Forget it, bullying a weak woman, this is not something you like to do."
At this moment, an elegant voice with a smile came from behind him.
Guan Kuo turned his head to look over and saw Jin An in the distance walking slowly with a charming stinky face.
