168 Confusion

I don't know when the King of Jin came over glanced coldly at the ground, and then raised his face, he looked sad and griefful, and said to the emperor who was still roaring the minister to call the imperial doctor: "Father, the emperor, the emperor, he went!" ”

With that, take the lead in kneeling down in front of the emperor. Kowtowed and said, "Father, take care of the dragon body!" ”

The ministers came back to their senses, knelt on the ground again, and shouted: "The emperor takes care of the dragon body!" ”

The emperor stood alone in the crowd, his spirit seemed to be all withdrawn at this moment, very thin and gloomy, he stood there with his waist bent and his back to the prince's corpse, as if he would fall down at any moment.

But he didn't fall in the end.

Just when the ministers thought that the emperor would not be able to hold on, the emperor walked to the palace step by step, he walked very slowly and hard. and refused to be supported by his father-in-law, so with a breath, he sat back on the dragon chair representing his supreme power.

"Duanwang." He looked at Duan Wang, who was trying to slip out along the wall, and opened his mouth indifferently.

King Duan's legs were weak, and he hurriedly knelt on the ground, "Father, Erchen didn't mean to kill the imperial brother, it was the imperial brother who suddenly rushed over and stabbed Erchen with a sword, and Erchen was dizzy in pain...... The father spared his life, and the son really didn't mean to hurt the emperor's brother. ”

Others may not know how the emperor pampered the crown prince, but King Duan is clear.

Although the crown prince is not the smartest among the princes, nor is he the most capable. But the crown prince is the first son of the emperor who is looking forward to the heir, and it is conceivable to what extent the emperor loves this son. Maybe everyone thinks that the crown prince is not in good health, and the emperor will let another prince replace him sooner or later, but for so many years, only the prince is still imprisoned in the position of prince.

He had seen the emperor take time out of his busy schedule to play with the prince, and he knew that the prince's handwriting was taught by him. He also knew that the reason why the crown prince was able to sit firmly in the East Palace was because the prince looked the most like the emperor among all the princes.

He also hoped countless times that this sick seedling would die quickly, but he never thought that this sick seedling would die in his own hands!

"Take King Duan down, I. Wait for it to fall. The emperor's throat swallowed hard, among the few sons, his two favorite sons, one is now dead, and the other, although unintentionally, is indeed the murderer of the prince. Although it is a mistake, the capital crime can be avoided, but the living crime is inescapable.

He had to think about it, and he had to think carefully about how to clean up the current situation.

But the severe headache did not give him this chance. He shook it twice and gave Grandpa Shun a look.

Father-in-law Shun hurriedly took two steps forward, "The emperor is not feeling well, and today's palace banquet is here......"

"Father, my sons still have something to say." The king of Jin stepped forward and stood in the center of the main hall, and the man who was sluggish and borrowed wine to kill his sorrows, as if he had changed in an instant, stood there, with a majestic and desperate determination and determination.

The emperor waved his hand impatiently, signaling that he didn't need to say more, and even his eyes didn't cast a glance at King Jin. He was grief-stricken and old-fashioned, "If there is anything to say, I will speak later." ”

The corners of King Jin's upturned mouth looked extremely weird and inevitable, "Father, son-in-law can't wait!" ”

Emperor Huo Ran raised his head, his eyes were as cold as a knife, and he looked at King Jin with a straight face.

Suddenly, a series of exclamations sounded outside: "Your Majesty, it's not good, an army came out of nowhere, and now it has entered the palace!" ”

"Your Majesty, we are surrounded!"

"The emperor - the emperor vomited blood, hurry, call the imperial doctor!"

Finally, someone woke up from a dream and shouted, "Oh my God, it's King Jin!" King Jin has rebelled! ”

The hall was suddenly in chaos, and everyone stared at King Jin's undisguised arrogant and presumptuous appearance in horror and disbelief, not knowing what to do!

The emperor covered his angry and aching chest, leaned on the shoulder of his father-in-law, and spit out a sentence with difficulty, "Animal, animal, how dare you?" ”

"Don't get me wrong, Erchen doesn't really want to rebel, it's just that there has been too much chaos in the capital recently, and there were assassins in the palace last night, and Erchen is also for the safety of his father. The father became ill because of the death of the prince, and the sons just wanted their father to take good care of the dragon body. Father, what do you think? ”

"Presumptuous! Licentious! The emperor trembled his lips and shouted, "I am not dead yet, how can I allow you to be presumptuous!" Where is the commander of the forbidden army, don't you hurry up and send the forbidden army to come and take down this chaotic minister and thief! ”

The commander of the forbidden army climbed in from outside the hall in embarrassment, crawling all the way and crying: "Your Majesty, the big thing is not good, all the forbidden troops in the left camp have rebelled!" Just came news from the harem that Concubine Cheng Niangniang controlled the families of all the ministers, and asked the ministers to obey the orders of King Yujin, otherwise they would ......"

"What?" The ministers immediately exploded, and the six gods knelt down towards their emperor, "Your Majesty, how can you be good now?" ”

"Father, the son of the emperor has said, the son of the minister is not trying to force the palace to rebel, you are still the emperor on the high, but you have worked hard for the country and the people for so many years, it is time to take a good rest, in the future, you will be raised in the harem, and there are mothers and concubines who take care of and serve you with their hearts, isn't it good?" King Jin looked at the emperor on the high seat with a smile, since he decided to take this road, he would inevitably be written by later generations as a chaotic minister and thief who plotted to usurp the throne, but so what, he has endured it for so long, and it is his turn.

"Don't worry, Erchen will still be filial to you-" He paused for a moment and shouted in a deep voice, "Come on, why don't you send the emperor back to the harem to rest!" ”

"Yes!" The main hall opened, and countless black-clothed troops armed with swords and guns poured in.

……

Listening to the deafening shouts and swords outside, Baili Wenhan, who was sitting by the window, gently hooked his lips and asked casually, "What's going on outside?" ”

"Your Highness, King Jin has sent troops."

"I have ears, and I can't hear such a big formation outside?" Baili Wenhan smiled on his lips.

The palace maid who spoke hurriedly knelt down, "The King of Jin sent troops to rebel, and he joined forces with the forbidden army, and he has firmly controlled the palace. It's just ......"

"Say!"

"The king of Jin claimed that he would not kill the emperor, but before the emperor walked out, he was shot by a stray arrow, and then, King Kang was 'forced to resist'."

Baili Wenhan laughed out loud, "King Kang has been preparing for so long, how can he let the throne fall into the hands of King Jin - that stray arrow, maybe it is his handiwork." ”

"Subordinates don't understand ......"

"What's so hard about that?" Baili Wenhan yawned boredly, "It is a well-known thing for everyone to raise an army to rebel, but now at this juncture, he can't let the emperor die, because if he really forces the emperor to death, his throne is not justified, even if he sits in that position, the princes of all parties will obey him?" As soon as the emperor died, no matter how chaotic the princes were, it would be enough for him to have a headache. Therefore, in the current situation, the emperor is naturally more useful to live than dead. So the King of Jin would not kill the emperor at this time, but King Kang, he needs an absolutely legitimate and righteous reason to send troops against the King of Jin, as soon as the emperor dies, the behavior of the King of Jin to usurp the throne will be confirmed, and everyone will be punished for the rebellious ministers and thieves - can you understand? ”

"The subordinates understood, the so-called praying mantis catching cicadas and yellow finches are behind, and King Nakang is the yellow finch behind. So according to His Royal Highness, who will win this King Jin or King Kang? ”

Baili Wenhan squinted slightly, looking at the palace people who were fleeing in panic and the sky full of fires outside, "If King Jin can succeed, it will be good." ”

It was because he knew that the probability of King Jin's success was too small, so he would reveal the news to Xie Yong and use Xie Yong to set up a scam, but unfortunately, the scam he carefully planned was cracked by her who didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional.

"But this palace is full of King Jin's people and forbidden army, how can King Kang compete with King Jin?" The subordinate said he was very puzzled.

Baili Wenhan tilted his head slightly, as if he was listening to something, and suddenly raised his eyebrows, "Did you hear that?" ”

The subordinates moved their ears, but they lowered their heads in shame, "The subordinates only heard the sound of fighting outside." ”

"It was the soldiers and guards stationed in the military camp on the outskirts of Beijing who rushed over." Baili Wenhan said very confidently, "Do you know how many troops there are in Gaocheng, which is the closest to the capital?" ”

"Gao Cheng? It will take at least one day and one night to get here from Gaocheng, and even if you come now, it won't help! Besides, King Kang, a prince who has no power and almost no outstanding talents, has no military talisman documents, how can he mobilize the soldiers of Gaocheng? ”

"Who said it was only now?" Baili Wenhan smiled and said: "The general who led the army in Gaocheng seems to have nothing to do with King Kang, but few people know that the general is actually the person cultivated by King Kang. King Kang asked him to lead his troops to the capital in advance, hide near the capital, and as soon as the king of Jin made a move, he immediately led his army into the city. ”

"King Jin's manpower and center of gravity are all in the palace, and he thinks that controlling the palace is equivalent to holding power, but King Kang is outflanking from the periphery, and King Jin is like a ......turtle in the urn," the palace maid suddenly realized.

"How many people are there in the King of Jin, plus the forbidden army in the palace is only thirty or fifty thousand, but the forbidden army is all under the King of Jin? No, although the commander of the forbidden army has no ability, he is the most loyal to His Majesty the Emperor, he is Gengjie, and there is also a group of people who swear allegiance to the emperor at the bottom, at this moment King Kang is probably using this group of people to fight back with King Jin's men and horses, and when the army outside the city kills over, the good situation is bound to fall to King Kang's side. Baili Wenhan said lazily.

"Your Highness, there is chaos outside, and it is a good time to take advantage of the chaos to leave." Hongdong History.

Baili Wenhan got up and walked towards the bed, "Yes, it's time to go-Ah Tang, don't pretend, I know you've woken up a long time ago." ”

Ruotang, who had been lying on the bed for a long time, thought that since he had been discovered, it was not interesting to pretend again, so he simply opened his eyes.

Only then did she understand why Baili Wenhan had to say so many things to his subordinates, and he wanted to say those words to her.

She sat up, glanced at Baili Wenhan, who was standing in front of her like no one else, bit her lip, and finally asked out loud, "What do you want to do?" ”

Baili Wenhan didn't answer the rhetorical question, "Do you remember that I told you before that the country of Ryuk is a very beautiful country?" There is an endless prairie there, and there are ......"

"I remember everything you said." Ruotang interrupted him expressionlessly, "But what does that have to do with me?" ”

Baili Wenhan automatically ignored her later words, and smiled more and more softly when he heard the words, "I'm glad that you can take everything I said to heart." ”

Obedient and half-cut, so shameless! Ruotang wanted to spray him on the spot, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he was cut off by Baili Wenhan, "If I invited you to Liuguo as a guest, do you remember?" ”

Ruotang's heart sank, and he stared at him coldly in disbelief: "You actually ......"

"I think now is the time." Baili Wenhan interrupted her softly again.

Ruotang had never seen someone interpret the gentle domineering so vividly, and he couldn't pounce on him and bite him twice.

But I heard him say softly: "I know that you can't rest assured that you can't go down to Lord Xiang, don't worry, I will give you a chance to say goodbye to him later." Now, we're packing up and leaving the palace, and there's still someone waiting for us. ”

There was a twinkle of excitement in his eyes.

……

When Chu Qianlan rushed out of the fire, he didn't care about the flames burning on his body, and with a wave of his long sword, he cut down the forbidden army behind him to the ground, and he roared with a calm face: "What about people? Where did Jixiang die? ”

Ruyi also had a dull look in his eyes, extinguished the flames on Chu Qianlan's body a few times, firmly protected him in front of him, and gritted his teeth with red eyes and said: "My subordinates have already asked people to find it, don't worry, the princess will be fine!" ”

The princess who should be in the palace is not in the palace, and the auspiciousness that should be by the princess's side is nowhere to be seen......

"Lord Wang, we found a person." It was the person who Chu Qianlan had placed in the palace who spoke, "This girl usually followed the princess into the palace together, and her subordinates remembered her, just now her subordinates saw that she was desperate to rush to the palace, and they hurriedly stopped people." ”

As he spoke, he carried the man who was covered in embarrassment and his face was covered with blood to Chu Qianlan.

Chu Qianlan hadn't recognized the bloody face yet, but Ruyi frowned and shouted, "Cai Qing!" ”

When Cai Qing, who was trembling, saw Chu Qianlan, she cried loudly, rushed over and hugged his calves and shouted, "Lord Wang, save your mother!" ”

Seeing that the fire was about to engulf the entire palace, Cai Qing was even more anxious, seeing that Chu Qianlan didn't move, he got up and rushed inside.

Ruyi pulled her rudely with a cold face, "The princess is not there, let me ask you, is Jixiang with you?" ”

Cai Qing was relieved when he heard that his master was not there, and when he heard Ruyi's question, he hurriedly said: "Jixiang started to stay with me, every time I entered the palace, the minions of each family rested in one place, but it didn't take long for me to see Jixiang, and I didn't know where she went." ”

"Lord, auspiciousness must be by the princess's side, don't worry, with her, the princess will definitely be safe." As Ruyi spoke, he pulled Cai Qing behind him, the long sword slashed over, and a head rolled to Cai Qing's feet.

This night, Cai Qing saw too many heads and blood, and she was already numb with fright. Seeing that the head rolled over, he kicked it out in disgust, and muttered to Ruyi: "Can you not get your head to me, my shoes are dirty!" ”

Ruyi: "......"

Forget it, I knew that she was a person with few roots and no heart.

At this moment, a petite figure holding an injured arm stumbled and rushed towards Chu Qianlan and the others while struggling to kill the enemy.

Ruyi recognized her at a glance, and when she looked at her again, her heart suddenly sank to the bottom. He didn't care much, so he hurriedly rushed over, and came to Chu Qianlan with Ji Xiang, who could see that he was seriously injured at a glance.

Chu Qianlan pursed her lips tightly and was silent, his eyelashes were wet with sweat, becoming thick and black, like a damp rainforest. His palms were clenched into fists, and his nails were pierced into the calluses of his palms, pressing deep blood marks from the roots of his nails.

The fierce anger in his eyebrows and eyes made the people around him almost dare not look up.

Jixiang knelt down in front of him, "The subordinates are incompetent, they failed to protect the princess, and they beg the prince to forgive them!" ”

"Where's the princess?" Cai Qing jumped behind Ruyi and asked urgently.

Ji Xiang lowered his head, "It's Baili Wenhan, Baili Wenhan's people took away the princess!" ”

When Chu Qianlan heard this, his eyes that were like dead silence seemed to have finally been injected with a trace of vitality, and he dragged the injured Jixiang: "In which direction did they go?" ”

"Xiangwangfu, Baili Wenhan took the princess to Xiangwangfu!"

Chu Qianlan frowned, "Xiangwang Mansion? ”

But he didn't think much about it, turned around and asked while killing the enemy, "Did they leave from Concubine Rong's palace?" ”

"Yes!"

The palace is strictly forbidden, and Concubine Rong was able to leave the palace unconsciously because of nothing else, but a secret passage leading to the outside of the palace in her palace. The secret passage was later found out by the emperor, but what he couldn't understand was that the emperor did not ask someone to block the secret passage.

He had been wondering if the emperor was still looking forward to the woman coming back to this place from that tunnel, so he had been allowing that tunnel to exist?

No, Baili Wenhan actually knows that tunnel, it seems that he has done a lot of homework on this trip to Dachu.

The battle in the palace was fierce, and outside the palace was also shouting to kill the heavens, and it was the soldiers and horses of the five cities who had taken refuge in the King of Jin and the city guards who arrived in time to fight together.

……

Ruotang didn't expect that Chu Qianlan said that she would have to wait for someone, and that person would be Duan Qingyi.

Taking advantage of the chaos in the imperial city, Baili Wenhan stuffed her and Duan Qingyi into a carriage, and took advantage of the chaos to go to the city gate.

In fact, at this time, their group was mixed in the ranks of people who were fleeing in a panic, and they did not look dazzling. When the war was raging, the first people to suffer were naturally the helpless people, who heard that they had hit the doorstep, and those who could escape wanted to escape from the city to avoid disaster.

Listening to the sound of the carriage and the sound of the soldiers outside, Ruotang looked at Duan Qingyi, who was sitting opposite with a cold face, and couldn't help but ask her: "Aren't you very skilled, how can you still be taken down?" ”
