Chapter 198: Rebels

On the night when the young marquis was sent away, Nan Yinglin drank a lot of wine for the first time. Sitting on the viewing platform of the Crane Tower, a round of bright autumn moon is lonely and swaying with a cold light. He just drank in a big gulp, and did not serve any dishes, and there was no half eunuch around him.

He cowered here like a lost child, not knowing where to go, not knowing what was true and what was false. It was as if everything around him was inseparable from him, and everything had nothing to do with him.

"Yun Zhen," he muttered to himself, "which of those things you said to me is true and which is false?" ”

In fact, truth and falsehood are not so important to him, the important thing is happiness, he is happy with her, even if behind those happiness is one terrible conspiracy after another, as long as he is happy at this moment.

He knew that with her temper, it was almost impossible to forget the past and start over with him. But now, she is at least willing to accompany him to act, and is willing to accompany him to shape this beautiful dream, and it is enough for him to be able to do this.

In this dream, she and he are still as happy as before, and he can finally let go of all his burdens and be truly carefree.

Maybe one day, she will be like him, gradually losing herself in the charm of this dream, and she will really fall in love with him again. This is a gamble, a big gamble, testing everyone's concentration, the first to lose themselves, will become a loser in the relationship.

Who will be the loser in the end? He let out a long sigh, the wind howled, the drizzle was faint, and there was only the rustling of the rain around him, and no one could answer the confusion in his heart.

In the distance, I don't know whether it was a mountain or a wall, and from the lowest place as far as the eye could see, a little red rose, curling Nana, and from time to time the wind changed direction.

He was stunned for a moment, and then he leaned down on the railing to look, and then he saw a few spots of crimson of different sizes, swaying and rising, and the crimson light was particularly eye-catching under the cover of night. A few bits of red burst open again, turning into clusters of flames and falling from the sky.

I faintly heard a noisy sound in my ears, and listened carefully, as if it was the shouting of soldiers when they rushed to kill, the collision of knives and guns, and the stake against the door. He shuddered suddenly, and a chill rushed over his head, and suddenly the wine also woke up. He staggered to his feet, only to see a gray-faced eunuch rushing upstairs.

"Your Majesty, it's a big deal, Your Majesty!" The eunuch ran too quickly, and a dog gnawed and fell on his feet: "The rebels, it's Xu Yongchang's rebels, they are sneaking up on the palace!" ”

He was about to speak, but he heard a loud rumbling noise in the distance, like the sound of the mountain gate collapsing.

Nan Yinglin secretly thought to himself that it was not good, and threw away the eunuch. Rushing out of the Crane Tower, you can already see the fire outside the palace wall in the courtyard, and there is no smoke, presumably the torches lit by the rebels for lighting. Judging by such a light, the rebels must be as dense as locusts.

More than a dozen internal guards rushed up to protect him, and some people hurriedly put on his armor.

"The two concubines!" He panicked and shouted at the guards.

The rebels have broken through the gate of the palace, who cares about the princess and princess? More than a dozen internal guards surrounded Nan Yinglin and wanted to run to the back mountain, he was anxious, and suddenly remembered that day in Baoxiang Temple, he also forced Nan Jingpei to the back mountain in this way.

Nan Yinglin's heart was in a trance for a moment, as if everything was back to square one, but this time, the identities of the two of them changed.

In a trance, he has been pushed out of several palace gates, and the palace is built on Yu Mountain, but the back mountain of this palace is not a cliff, he will not die, and he will not be forced to fall off the cliff.

The back mountain is a bluestone road built for the descent of the mountain, which is flat and flat for only two horse-drawn carriages to pass side by side. There was already a car prepared by the internal guards at the gate of the Houshan Palace, and the two internal guards with lanterns were quietly waiting there.

The shouts of the rebels filled the entire palace, arrest the emperor, and capture him alive! Everyone was shouting, as if they were going to dig three feet into the ground to find him.

"Your Majesty, the rebels are coming, you go first, and Weichen will resist for a while!" The saber in Wu Bei's hand was already stained with blood, his cheeks were blackened by the thick smoke, and the dim light reflected him with a black and shiny feeling.

Nan Yinglin was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "What about Concubine Chen?" ”

Wu Bei gritted his teeth, he knew that now was not the time to raise the bar with the emperor, he only needed to take Nan Yinglin to a safe place like a kidnapping, and time would naturally make him forget the soul-stinging Concubine Chen.

"Let's go! Send the emperor away! Wu Bei patted the horse's back, the horse neighed, and in an instant ran far away, disappearing into the vast night.

Wu Bei Chang let out a long breath and said to the only remaining internal guards beside him: "Go back, kill one to return to the original, kill two to earn, brothers, we would rather bend than bend." ”

"What about Concubine Chen? Do you want to look for it? A guard next to him suddenly asked.

Wu Bei glanced at him sharply, and said coldly: "What Concubine Chen, the emperor is confused, are you also confused?" ”

His face immediately revealed a little ruthlessness: "Beauty and mislead the country, if it weren't for this woman, the emperor might not have come to this point, you all listen to me, if you meet Concubine Chen, there will be no forgiveness." ”

Shen Yunzhen had already heard the shouting and killing in the palace, and the eunuch palace maid had already come to report that she had avoided it first, Concubine Su De was holding Princess Yangxiu, and she was supported by Zhixia, and she was already afraid of the two tremors.

Through the doors and windows, she could smell the smell of blood in the air, she looked at Shen Yunzhen in a panic, but the other party was as cold as a stone statue.

The army that forced the palace was all red-eyed soldiers, and they had always been denied by the six relatives. At this time, who cares about any military orders, or they don't have military orders at all.

Xu Yongchang and Luo Ru typed a loyal word on the surface, but in the face of the great opportunity to change the dynasty, who can resist such a temptation? It's not that she suspects these two people, it's just that people's hearts have always been like this, and she has to be on guard.

Shen Yunzhen said, asking Ah Ruo and Liu Eryue to hug Chengyuan and Jizi: "You go to the back with Sister Su first." Change into the clothes of the palace maid and eunuch and run back to the mountain. ”

Concubine Su De grabbed Shen Yunzhen's sleeve: "What about you?" ”

Shen Yunzhen glanced at her and said, "I'll find a way to meet their leader." ”

"No! You can't go! Concubine Su De grabbed her arm in a panic and refused to let go: "They are rebels, they kill people without blinking, they don't care who you are, they won't listen to what you say, they will only kill you together." ”

Shen Yunzhen looked at Concubine Su Dezhen calmly: "If I don't come back, Chengyuan will be entrusted to my sister to upbring." ”

Concubine Su De was stunned for a moment: "What did you say?" ”

Shen Yunzhen stroked her hand: "Sister forgot?" On the day I gave birth to him, I said, if I have any three long and two short, Chengyuan will be your son in the future. You run from the back mountain, go to the Su family, don't go to Changxinhou. Remember, no matter what happens, Yoshiko must not be returned to Nagasobu, Yoshiko must be in our hands before we can negotiate with Nagasobuhou. ”

Yun Zhen! Yun Zhen! She hurriedly shouted her name, but Shen Yunzhen seemed to be iron-hearted, and went forward without looking back.

Zhixia grabbed Concubine Su De's sleeve stiffly: "Master, let's go quickly, the most important thing is to save the life of the princess and prince at the moment." ”

She walked through the long alley she used to walk on weekdays, and the smell of blood came to her face, and on the palace walls and on the ground, there were broken limbs, fallen eunuchs and soldiers, blades littered everywhere, and broken armor.

She stood against the wall, and there was endless shouting and killing in the courtyard. She couldn't hold a soldier who was fighting and ask where their leader was, so she could only follow the brightest spot of the fire.

The lotus pond of the palace has been dyed vermilion with blood, and the corpses of eunuchs and internal guards are still laid on the white marble bridge, and there are a few dead palace maids, presumably killed by the rebels by mistake. She leaned against the railing, her legs weak from the smell of blood.

A few torches were stuck diagonally on the railings, and a few were thrown on the ground, and the rain would be extinguished.

It is probably because the large army of the rebels has not yet rushed to the palace as a whole, so the direction of the palace gate will reveal this sky-high fire. She continued in that direction, and was bumped into a group of soldiers armed with sharp blades, who were not the palace's internal guards, judging by their uniforms. There was blood on the knife edge, and there were Taoist marks on his face that were blackened by smoke and fire.

Shen Yunzhen bit her lip and stalemate with them.

"I want to see your leader." She said boldly.

The other party was stunned for a moment, and suddenly let out a chilling laugh.

"This palace is the concubine Shen, and I want to see your leader." She added.

"Concubine?" The other party finally put away his smile and looked her up and down: "How do you prove that you are the concubine?" ”

Shen Yunzhen gasped and leaned against the railing, the other party obviously asked an extremely difficult question to answer, how could she prove it? She hadn't seen Xu Yongchang, let alone Luo Ru, or rather, there was no human or physical evidence here that could prove her identity.

Seeing that she didn't speak, the other party seemed to take a step back: "Since you said that you are Concubine Chen, you might as well come with us." ”

She didn't dare to go with them for a while, these people's eyes were blood-red, she was just a defenseless and weak woman, if they suddenly had bad thoughts, how would she deal with it?

She was hesitating when a few scattered guards came from afar, and when they saw her confronting the rebels, they suddenly rushed up. Kill the rebels! The guards had high-pitched voices, but the rebels weren't vegetarians, and she only heard a few pops of blades penetrating her body, and the guards fell to the ground.

She was so frightened that she couldn't speak, her body was slightly weak, and she instinctively retreated backwards, but her legs didn't obey. She fell almost on her back. The icy autumn rain soaked her clothes again, and the cold wind blew down, and it was already cold to the bone.

Jing Pei, Jing Pei, Jing Pei! She had called his name a thousand times and ten thousand times in her heart, but he would not come, he was dead, and even if he lived, he could only live in her dreams. She had always relied on thinking about him to persevere, but now, even this last thought could no longer support her to stand up.
