Chapter 809: Praying Mantis Catches Cicadas
Seeing that the flames spit out by the servant were about to spray into Li Shang's face, Li Shang screamed, leaned sideways and tried to push the servant down, but the servant grabbed him by the collar with his backhand and dragged him down the horse.
Seeing this, the guards of the Lu clan all showed their blades and stepped forward to help together, and more and more people in the color shed rushed over with weapons, and Lu Zilai saw that the momentum was not good, so he whistled, turned around and fled into the alley.
The guards were divided into two groups, one group escorted Lu Zilai and Li Shang to escape, and after the other group was broken, they were all carefully selected people, and their kung fu was very good, and for a while, those tricksters had no way to take them.
Lu Zilai and Li Shang fled to the other end of the alley in one breath, seeing that the exit was in front of them, both of them were relieved, but they heard the sound of armor, and a team of cavalry patrolling the street blocked the exit.
The leader sneered and said, "Grand Prince Lu, King of Baoping County, where are you going in such a hurry?" ”
It turned out to be Hu Qian, who hadn't come out and walk around for a long time, and behind him were the sons and daughters of the Hu family.
Lu Zilai was taken aback, how could this be?
It's not that the Hu family has fallen out with Zhong Weiwei, and is dissatisfied with His Majesty, and quits the defense of Beijing, but ask these things?
Before he went to pick up Li Shang today, he had already inquired, because the Hu family was separated from His Majesty and Zhong Weiwei, the defense of Beijing was much lax, and it was a good time to make trouble, why did Hu Qian suddenly appear?
Lu Zilai thought about a lot of things at this moment, and immediately made a decision, beat his horse and ran towards Hu Qian, and whispered: "This guy sneakily escaped from the palace, and happened to be bumped into by me."
I asked him what he wanted to do, and he always only lied to me, thinking that he was always the king of Dongling, and it was a day of great joy for His Majesty and the queen, so I didn't dare to act rashly, so I let people take care of him! General Hu, what's going on? ”
Hu Qian seemed to smile: "Grand Master Lu is really a very smart person, since he is an escort, then escort to the end!" Please! ”
The sons of the Hu family urged the horses and wanted to come forward to surround Lu Zilai and the others.
Seeing that the momentum was not good, Lu Zilai immediately threw Li Shang and motioned to his subordinates to escort him to escape.
Hu Qian's eldest son roared: "Where to escape!" ”
With a horizontal sword, he forcibly knocked Lu Zilai off the horse, the tip of the knife pressed against Lu Zilai's neck, and said coldly: "The Lu family colluded with Dongling, ate inside and outside, and got the stolen goods, what else do you have to say?" ”
Hu Qian led the people to surround Li Shangtuan in the middle, and said with a smile: "King Baoping, the wedding is not over yet, you are leaving, don't fight for righteousness." ”
Li Shang rode on the horse, was silent for a moment, raised his hand, and said lightly: "The winner is the king, the loser is the villain, this king has nothing to say." ”
"Offended!" As soon as Hu Qian's chin was raised, someone stepped forward to tie up Li Shang, Lu Zilai and others, and quickly took them away.
They were uniform, and they didn't alarm too many people, and even if someone saw it, they would only think that the street patrol had caught a few scoundrels who were picking trouble.
On the other side of the alley, the soldiers had finished the battle, knocked the Lu guards unconscious or knocked them away, and various big dramas continued to be performed in the color shed, which was still lively and peaceful.
The people didn't know anything, and continued to carnival, and someone shouted: "Your Majesty and the Queen Mother are throwing money on the Chengtian Gate, go and grab it......"
The crowd shouted and rushed to Chengtianmen together, and the Royal Forest Army and the patrol who were responsible for patrolling the streets and maintaining order were afraid that something would happen, so they hurriedly chased after them to maintain order.
In a teahouse near the mansion of the eldest princess of the Protectorate, a woman in red stood in front of the window with her hands in her hands, looking at the crowd rushing on the street, as well as the royal guards and patrols who followed the crowd away, and said coldly: "Do it!" ”
The tall and strong man behind her answered, hurriedly walked downstairs, and strode towards the mansion of the eldest princess of the protectorate.
More and more people appeared from nearby, mingling in the crowd, and flocked to the Protector Grand Princess's Mansion.
Someone shouted: "In order to celebrate the wedding of the emperor and queen, the eldest princess of the country will scatter happy money in front of the mansion, and whoever arrives first will be whoever!" ”
Most people were skeptical, but there were many more who stood still and looked in disbelief at the Mansion of the Protector of the Great Princess, whose gate was closed.
Someone whispered: "Even if Your Majesty and the Queen Mother sprinkle money from Chengtianmen, there are so many people, and not many of them fall into our hands, maybe not a single one of them will be able to grab it...... Why don't you try your luck here......"
Someone shouted: "Scatter the money, scatter the money......"
Countless coins shining with gold and silver light spilled out from the inner wall of the Protector Eldest Princess's Mansion, and someone grabbed a handful, took a closer look, and screamed excitedly: "It's a silver coin, a special silver coin!" ”
Before he finished speaking, he heard someone shouting loudly in the distance: "It's gold coins!" Gold! ”
More people flocked from afar, crowding outside the mansion of the eldest princess of the Protectorate, shouting for some more happy money, or saying that they didn't get it, it was too little, and the scene was extremely chaotic.
I don't know who shouted: "It's so unfair to the old and weak women and children to grab it with all your strength!" Why don't you ask Her Royal Highness the princess to open the door, and the people present line up to receive the money, and those who see it have a share, one per person, and when the one in the back is gone, it will be gone, that is bad luck, how about it? ”
It sounds very fair, but when you think about it, it's very wrong, but the people who are robbing money and grabbing red eyes can't think of this, they all think it's fair and reasonable.
Originally, this kind of special gold and silver money was only available to celebrate the emperor's wedding, and to have fun with the people, then everyone should have a share, they didn't want to rob it, they just wanted to be fair.
Some people also think that this is not right, the prestige of the eldest princess of the country is so high, but it is not an old lady to provoke, it is fun to grab the money, and it will be over after the sprinkle, so I'm afraid it's not good.
But before they could express their concerns, a few handfuls of specially made gold and silver money were scattered in the princess's mansion, and the crowd went crazy and out of control.
Someone took the lead in running up and smashed the door of the eldest princess's mansion: "Open the door, open the door......"
Without knowing what was going on, the porters of the eldest princess's mansion hurriedly responded to the battle, collectively stepped forward to fight the door to death, and asked people to come over hoarsely.
The people attacked the Protector Eldest Princess's Mansion, this is a big matter, and the head of the Eldest Princess's Mansion can't ignore it, he can't take care of anything, and hurried out.
A group of ghostly figures jumped down from the wall and went straight to the dungeon where He Lingyi was imprisoned, killing people, snatching keys, saving people, and taking them away, before and after it was just a cup of tea.
When the head of the eldest princess's mansion figured out what was going on, he exclaimed: "It's not good!" "Hurried to the dungeon, the door of the prison was already wide open, and He Lingyi was gone!
