Chapter 772: Sending Troops (2)
In an instant, General Chu's expression stiffened and distorted.
A sentence of "ridiculous" almost rushed out of his mouth. Fortunately, General Chu swallowed these two words back in time, but his eyes clearly showed his objection.
General Chu is nearly fifty years old this year and is loyal to Daqi. The deceased Emperor Jianwen single-handedly promoted General Chu, and when Emperor Jian'an was still the third prince, he did everything possible to woo General Chu. After ascending the throne, Emperor Jian'an trusted him even more, and accepted the young daughter of General Chu as a palace concubine.
Among the military generals, General Yin had the highest rank and was the first person in the army. General Yin's only daughter married King Min as a concubine, and she was naturally close to King Min. Because of this, Emperor Jian'an was quite jealous of General Yin. Bringing up General Chu in every possible way has the meaning of making General Chu and General Yin equal.
Emperor Jian'an was trapped in the imperial mausoleum, and General Chu was very anxious and tried his best to save Emperor Jian'an. However, the traitor was too insidious and ruthless, and as soon as he tried it here, he threw out the corpse of an official over there. Elder Lu Ge and the others strictly ordered him not to move in vain, and he was also holding a sulk in his heart.
But he never expected that His Royal Highness the King of Shu couldn't wait to send troops in the middle of the night, and he didn't even wait for the next day...... Whether Emperor Jian'an is dead or alive, he has always had doubts in his heart.
However, His Royal Highness the King of Shu acted like this, obviously directly treating Emperor Jian'an as a dead man.
Sheng Hong didn't explain, but only asked: "What this king said just now, can General Chu hear it clearly?" ”
General Chu took a deep breath and nodded: "I heard clearly, the last general will order someone to pass the order." ”
Sheng Hong nodded with satisfaction.
Military generals have such benefits. No matter how dissatisfied and incomprehensible, he will obey orders.
is not like Lu Ge's old ministers, who have a crooked belly, saying that they are loyal and patriotic, and they have a flowery stomach in private. It takes a lot of words to convince them.
After General Chu passed the military order, his expression was calm. Looking at Sheng Hong's eyes, a trace of suspicion and vigilance flashed.
Sheng Hong looked at it as if he hadn't seen it, and said, "I'll rest in this tent for a while tonight." General Chu might as well rest here. ”
General Chu's camp tent was occupied by the two princesses, and there was nowhere to go, so he nodded and agreed.
At this time, it has reached the third watch, and there is only one hour before the fourth watch.
General Chu slept in his clothes and closed his eyes.
Sheng Hong also slept in his clothes, closing his eyes. It's impossible to fall asleep, so take advantage of this time to recharge your energy for the next tough battle.
……
Yin Xiaoxiao couldn't sleep either.
Her eyes were open, and for no apparent reason, she felt a strong panic and panic. It was as if all the veils were about to be lifted, revealing all the cruel truths......
"Sister Yin," a familiar woman's voice sounded beside her, with a hint of imperceptible pity in her voice: "It's deeper in the middle of the night, let's go to bed early!" ”
Yin Xiaoxiao turned over and looked at Xie Mingxi.
There was a candlestick burning in the tent, and the light was not very bright. Xie Mingxi's face was very close, but it seemed to be covered with a layer of shadows, and it looked blurred. Only those bright eyes, which are frighteningly bright.
The confusion in Yin Xiaoxiao's heart was revealed under these bright eyes.
"Sister Xie," Yin Xiaoxiao called in a low voice, revealing a hint of weakness and helplessness in her voice: "I don't know why, I'm panicking." ”
"It's been a month, my father and Sheng Ze have been trapped in the imperial mausoleum, and they don't know if they live or die."
"I'm really afraid that after taking the imperial tomb, I won't be able to see their people......"
As he spoke, his voice choked.
Xie Mingxi sighed silently, reached out and patted Yin Xiaoxiao's arm: "Don't worry. Your father and King Min will be safe. ”
Yin Xiaoxiao's shoulders shrugged, and she sobbed and cried: "I've had nightmares several times. Either I dreamed that my father's body was in a different place, or I dreamed that Sheng Ze was covered in blood...... Sister Xie, I'm really scared. ”
Yin Xiaoxiao first cried quietly, and soon burst into tears, crying like a child.
Xie Mingxi's mood was also heavy and obscure.
Everything in the previous life has long been reversed. The fate of everyone seems to have been twisted together by a pair of invisible hands, and they are unfathomable.
Sheng Hong and she both decided that Emperor Jian'an was dead, so they decided to send troops to attack the imperial tomb and eradicate all the "traitors" in one fell swoop! This calculation is foolproof. There is no such thing as foolproof.
If there is a mistake, Sheng Hong will be pointed out by Wanfu and will have to bear the responsibility that does not belong to him.
This plan has been achieved, and there are still many unpredictable factors...... It may even evolve into the ending she has always avoided the most unwanted.
However, both she and Sheng Hong had no choice.
Take control of your own destiny.
These words are easy to say, but it is difficult to do.
is like Yin Xiaoxiao crying in front of her, how could she want to see her husband become one of the "traitors"? Even though I had a guess in my heart, I still came here with a deep hope.
On the eve of the 100,000-strong army, the tight strings in Yin Xiaoxiao's heart were completely broken, and she cried.
Yin Xiaoxiao cried for a long time, until the tears ran out and her throat was hoarse, and then she slowly stopped.
She raised her red and swollen eyes, and her voice was hoarse: "Sister Xie, thank you for comforting and accompanying me." ”
Xie Mingxi's eyes were as dark as night, pitch black, full of complexities that no one knew: "It's almost the fourth watch." It's time to beat the snare. ”
As soon as the snare drum sounds, 100,000 elite soldiers will attack the imperial tomb with the momentum of leveling everything.
Yin Xiaoxiao's heart beat like a drum, and she subconsciously pricked up her ears.
They were located in the tent of the Chinese military camp, in the center of the barracks, and the subtle movements in all directions converged into a thrilling sound. The soldiers got up and dressed, picked up the weapons they had at hand, and quickly went out of the camp to assemble.
Countless dull footsteps sounded in the dark night, like the earth shaking the mountains, and the tent of the Chinese army camp also shook gently.
No matter how bold she was, Yin Xiaoxiao couldn't help but get nervous, and the blood in her whole body was gushing. She subconsciously grabbed Xie Mingxi's hand.
Xie Mingxi held Yin Xiaoxiao's hand with his backhand. I don't know whose palms oozed cold sweat, and the palms of both of them were wet.
Yin Xiaoxiao has never experienced such a battle. Xie Mingxi lived in the palace in his previous life, and he had never faced the situation of 100,000 elite soldiers sending troops. At this moment, the heartbeat accelerates uncontrollably.
It's the fourth watch!
Knock knock! Knock knock!
The sound of the snare drum sounded in the distance, and soon, many snare drums were harmonized with the sound of the drum.
The footsteps, which were originally slightly chaotic, became rapid, with an endless killing aura. It's hard not to be moved by the middle of it. Yin Xiaoxiao was short of breath and her chest was heaving.
It was Xie Mingxi, who heard the majestic and passionate snare drum, and felt excited.
I don't know who shouted in the dark night, and the soldiers shouted in harmony: "Kill! Kill! Kill! ”
The shouts shook the sky, tearing apart the last silence of the night.
