Chapter 414: Inside and Outside (9)
He leaned forward slightly, as if to confirm whether the person who came was the Queen Mother of the West.
He Xi stared at him tightly, and suddenly the man's expression turned sharp, and He Xi subconsciously said, "Lu Ran! β
Lu Ran also shot as fast as lightning almost at the same time as He Xi's voice, and the long sword directly pierced the chest of the waiter, splashing out bloody, like a little red plum splashed on He Xi's boots, although the Queen Mother Xi has always been resolute, but she rarely saw such a bloody scene, so shocked that she covered her chest and took half a step back in fright.
Jiang An hurriedly held it, Lu Ran reached out and groped a few times in the arms of the waiter, and sure enough, he found a round tube-shaped thing, took it out and looked at it, and sniffed it in front of the tip of his nose, and then said, "It's Mingdi-"
He Xi frowned slightly, and Lu Ran remembered that He Xi had only come to Xiliang not long ago, so he explained: "The Ming Di is an arrow, and the arrow can make a sound when it is shot, which is obviously used to ventilate the news." β
Ruyi suddenly said: "A waiter stationed at the palace gate, there is such a thing, is she the little prince's person?" β
He Xi looked at the palace gate in front of him and said, "It seems that we can't get out of the palace smoothlyββ"
Lu Ran looked back at He Xi, and saw that although she said such things, her expression was very calm, and suddenly he thought that when he was in Shuzhong, it was the same situation, Tuoba Yue was infected with the epidemic at that time, and she was like this, telling everyone seriously that Tuoba Yue would be fine, and she would definitely save him.
Just like now, as long as she stands here, it makes people feel at ease for no reason, as long as she says yes, then the steep peaks and mountains are okay.
Lu Ran suddenly smiled heartily: "Just by virtue of this person, when they meet me Lu Ran, they are unlucky!" β
This was the first time he came to Xiliang, and the first time he mentioned his name, Lu Ran.
For so long, since he escaped death, he has assumed the name Lu Ran, he feels like a lost dog, and now, he is Lu Ran, at least, in He Xi's eyes, he has never been Lu Ran, he has always been just Lu Ran.
Between them, there are still many things to say, and they definitely can't stop here.
He Xi nodded and said softly, "Be carefulβ"
Immediately, he led the Queen Mother West to hide behind the rockery on the side.
After a while, there was a sound of blades meeting, He Xi leaned steadily on the rockery, holding a dagger in his long sleeves, his voice gradually lowered, and after a while, he could only hear the gradual footsteps behind him.
The Empress Dowager Xi grabbed Jiang An's sleeve a little nervously, Jiang Anse shrank in front of the Empress Dowager Xi, and when the person got closer, he whispered: "Little master, you can come out." β
He Xi breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and when he turned out, he smelled a burst of blood, Lu Ran was also a little terrifying, and his clothes were also torn a few pieces, seeing He Xi staring at his wounds, Lu Ran couldn't help but say a little shyly: "It's just some flesh wounds, it's not a big deal, let's go quickly, if they react, I'm afraid it will be more troublesome." β
He Xi hummed softly, and then quickly walked towards the outside of the palace gate.
On the other side, Liang Qi's people had already come to the city gate, and here, they could already faintly hear the sound of fighting outside.
Liang Qi and Qi Xiao glanced at each other, and then ordered: "You are responsible for taking the city gate, and you are a team of people, come with us with bows and arrows and fire folds." β
Everyone shouted in unison, and the noise here had already alarmed the soldiers who had been stationed at the city gate, and someone shouted loudly: "Someone is attacking the city!" β
Suddenly, everyone was on alert, but it was too late, Qi Xiao and Liang Qi jumped and flew straight up the city wall, and the two seemed to be almost at the same time, and the person in charge of guarding the high place was eliminated in an instant.
After getting rid of the guards in the high places, Liang Qicai looked out of the city, and his heart instantly lifted, at this time, Ning Yi was already dressed like blood, and there were only two people left guarding him, but around them, there were mountains of corpses under their feet, some of their own people and some of their enemies.
It's terrifying to look at.
There are still people who keep attacking, but Liang Qineng can see from Ning Yi's moves that he is already exhausted, Liang Qi immediately decisively, put his hand to his mouth, and learned a few night owl calls.
Soon, Ning Yi noticed it, he didn't know what to whisper to the few remaining guards beside him, and a few of them slowly retreated to the back.
Ning Yu had been sitting on the horse and watching from afar, seeing this, he only thought that Ning Yi wanted to take the opportunity to escape, he couldn't help but drive forward and said loudly: "Don't let the traitor escape, as long as you take his head, there will be a reward!" β
As soon as these words came out, those who were shocked by Ning Yi and were a little cringe, were eager to try again, and some even dared to roar and rush with their swords.
In an instant, Ning Yi had already retreated to the side of the trucks.
Ning Yi supported the wheel with one hand, almost soaring into the air, and with a few flying kicks, the barrels of fire oil were kicked out by Ning Yi, only hitting a few people who rushed towards this side.
Someone couldn't take precautions, and was knocked to the ground by the wooden barrel, and the rest of the guards in the inventory did the same, but with Ning Yi's matter in front, Qin Hao's people were already on guard, and someone directly swung his sword and slashed at the wooden barrel that flew over.
The sound of the barrel shattering was accompanied by a strong pungent smell, and someone reacted quickly, and said, "It's fire oilβ"
But before he could finish speaking, he saw several arrows flying in the sky, and the arrows had scarlet flames of light on them, which streaked through the night sky like a fleeting meteor.
The arrows shot quickly and intensively in the direction of the oil drums, and the moment the arrows landed, the flames touched the oil and ignited a half-zhang high flame.
Some people were also contaminated with fire oil, and naturally they would also burn themselves, and in an instant, the situation was reversed, Ning Yi and the others were back to each other, and they were surrounded by burning fire oil and people.
The people were screaming and struggling, and they reached out to their companions, as if asking for help, but as soon as they came into contact with them, they would be swallowed up.
For a moment, the scene was chaotic, and the horses could not stand the heat of the flames, and walked restlessly in place.
Qin Hao didn't want such a thing to happen suddenly, someone came to ask for advice on what to do, Qin Hao hesitated, these people are also brothers who were born and died with him, and now they are suffering from the pain of the flames, how can he choose?
Before he could speak, he heard Ning Yu say in a loud voice: "Qin Hao, what are you waiting for?" Why don't you quickly take down this traitor, go back to the palace and return to the queen mother? β
Speaking of the Queen Mother, Qin Hao thought of Xing'er, he couldn't help but clench his fists, Ning Yu was threatening him? Xing'er is a person from Prince Kang's Mansion, thinking that there is no room to turn back, Qin Hao's raised hand put it down point by point, and his eyes flashed with reluctance: "At all costs, we must take down the traitor!" β
Those soldiers didn't expect that Qin Hao would care so much about their lives and deaths, and their hearts were still a little shaken.
Qin Hao was leading the troops to fight on weekdays, how could he not know their thoughts, he looked at the front fixedly and said: "If you let the rebel thief run away at this time, you will be sorry for the dead brother, someone will come - rush in - "
Speaking of the brothers who died in vain, the people around him were already red-eyed.
Suddenly, there was a sharp whistling sound, coming from the direction of the city wall, it was a rain of arrows!
Originally, the guards were not so tightly guarded on the city wall, and I don't know when, there were actually densely packed people, each with a longbow, facing them.
The rain of arrows fell mercilessly, almost giving anyone a chance to react, and the rain of arrows was naturally towards Qin Hao's people, just one wave, and Qin Hao's left wing lost most of it.
Ning Yu realized that something was wrong, turned around and looked, and saw two men with strange expressions, commanding everyone.
Ning Yu frowned and said loudly: "Presumptuous, do you know what you are doing?" β
"What they do, the mourning family naturally knows." An old but slow voice came from the city wall, Ning Yu looked over in disbelief, and sure enough, he saw Ruyi and Jiang An supporting the Empress Dowager Xi on the left and right.
The Empress Dowager Xi looked at the city, the flames were everywhere, and the corpses were piled up like a mountain, and the slightest remorse was overflowing in her heart little by little, Ning Yi had already gotten rid of the siege and went around the city tower from the other side.
His face was calm, although his clothes were embarrassed, his hair was scattered, and he had injuries on his body, but as long as he was there, there was a pressure of the five elements, which made people dare not look directly.
Empress Dowager Xi coughed lightly with some embarrassment and said, "Ning Yu, the mourning family trusts you so much, but you are a wolf with ambition, it is really a great crime!" β
The soldiers under Qin Hao under the city can no longer be described as shocked.
Aren't they eradicating traitors, why did the Queen Mother say this? Qin Hao was a little depressed, almost falling off his horse, he forcibly clenched the reins in his hand.
Seeing the silence under the city, the Empress Dowager Xi said loudly: "Qin Hao-as the Captain of Xiliang, but you are abusive and fornicating with traitors, do you have a mourning family in your eyes, do you have a majesty?" And you? Your wives and children, young and old, may still be in the city, and you are also bold enough to sit down and usurp the throne in such a way! β
The Empress Dowager Xi's tone became heavier and heavier, and some people couldn't bear it anymore, and the weapons in their hands were thrown to the ground with a clatter, and their knees couldn't help but kneel.
Ning Yu was unwilling to hold the reins in his hand, but he had one thing that he was most worried about, that is, the old princess, the Queen Mother Xi could leave the palace smoothly, standing here, does it mean that her mother has also been controlled by her?
Thinking like this, he felt that there was a burning anger in his heart, and the hatred in his eyes deepened, and he shouted in the direction of Qin Hao: "You cowards, don't get up yet!" I tell you, there are some things you do that you can't turn back! You are rebelling, but if you don't let it out now, the result will be death, maybe a gamble will be a marquis! How to choose, you have to think about it! β
When the Empress Dowager heard Ning Yu's words, her face couldn't help but change greatly, her hand slapped on the rough railing, and said angrily: "Ning Yu! Even now, you are so arrogant - come and kill them all - and break all these rebels into pieces! β
The people below didn't believe Ning Yu's words at first, but as soon as Empress Dowager Xi's words fell, these people's hearts were immediately shaken.
Someone was already almost crazy and said: "Yes, it is impossible to let us go if we give up now, it is better to fight!" Fight your way out! β
Immediately, some people responded to his words!
He Xi, who was standing on the city wall, couldn't help frowning, but when he saw that the Empress Dowager Xi had lost a lot of figure and the old white hair between her temples, she understood a little.
