Chapter 10: Anti-Thieves
Lin Shuang looked up to look at Mother Qiu, only to see that her face was pale, her eyes were stunned, her lips trembled, and she was so frightened that she cried.
Lin Shuang lifted the curtain and saw that there was blood everywhere on the street, and the first person who cut people had already chased him out, and someone behind him was fighting with weapons, and in a blink of an eye, he was in front of him.
Lin Shuang was thinking that the situation was critical, and he had to get off the sedan chair to escape, and the sedan curtain was opened with a "swish", and the little boy in the wedding dress had a white face and bluffed: "The thief is coming, don't run away quickly!" As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to pull Lin Shuang.
Lin Shuang grabbed his hand, but couldn't stand up, Mother Qiu hugged her tightly, and only cried in her mouth: "The thief is coming, the thief is coming, ...... thief"
The boy climbed into the sedan chair, raised his hand and slapped Qiu's mother, and scolded: "Useless things, don't run away quickly." While breaking Mother Qiu's hand, she carried Lin Shuang out of the sedan chair.
The little boy was not tall, his body was also thin, and he was wearing an ill-fitting wedding dress, and he came out with the round Lin Shuang who was wearing, and just wanted to stand up straight, but he tripped over the placket of his feet and stumbled, and the two fell to the ground.
Lin Shuang fell on the little boy, and hurriedly tried to get up, but the dress was too heavy, wrapped in layers on her body, and the crown on her head fell again, pressing her straight forward.
Lin Shuang put the crown of his head behind his head, subconsciously looked back, and suddenly the blood in his whole body coagulated.
Behind him, a short and thin man was holding a sedan chair, staring at them panting, his head and face were covered in blood, his clothes, pants and shoes were soaked with blood, and he was holding a knife that was dripping blood. He looked down at Lin Shuang and the boy, and his eyes seemed to be about to raise a knife to cut someone at any time.
Another man ran over, pointed at the two children on the ground and said, "Yo, the golden boy and the girl are married." ”
The short and thin man said: "It's not a golden boy and a girl, you and I can't marry a wife in our thirties, this kid has a woman while still breastfeeding." ”
The other sighed: "It is really the same life, some people are born in the pile of gold and silver, and some people are born in the pigs and sheepfolds." ”
The short and thin man said, "Since it is a good day for them, let them go." ”
Later, the man pointed a knife at Lin Shuang, and then at the boy on the ground, and saw that the two of them were so frightened that they retreated again and again, laughing happily.
Enough of the joke, and just as he was about to turn around, someone behind him shouted, and a dagger flew into the air, and with a "bang" thrust into his neck, poked a pair in his neck, and took him forward with great strength.
Lin Shuang was so frightened that she rolled to the side and hugged the little boy.
Immediately after that, a jujube red horse rushed out of the crowd, with a big red silk flower hanging on the horse's head, and a man in his twenties wearing a red wedding dress sat on it, which was the other groom official Xing Houye today. His face was also covered in blood, with a long sword in his hand, and his eyes were red from killing.
When the short, thin man saw that his companion had been killed, he shouted and slashed at him.
The Marquis of Changxing has a high advantage on the horse, tightens the reins to avoid the big knife, and follows the sideways posture, the sword in his hand meets the armpit of the short and thin man, and the short and thin man pounces on the ground like a broken sack and can't get up again, Changxing Hou didn't even look at him, got off the horse and turned around and rushed into the battlefield.
Soon the garrison arrived, and the thieves were killed and ran, and the streets were in disarray, littered with wounded and corpses.
A tall and fat man came out of the crowd, Changxing waited to see him, and said to him: "Is the prince okay?" ”
The tall and fat man turned out to be Liu Zhanyong, the king of Yue, and his face was pale, obviously frightened. King Yue trembled while sweating: "...... I didn't expect that in the peaceful and prosperous world, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, such thieves would be mixed in...... Ben Wang ......"
King Yue was still panting, and another group of people galloped on horseback. Led by Zheng Biao, the third son of Jinwu General Zheng Yi, he dismounted, saluted the King of Yue and the Marquis of Changxing casually, and said: "There are anti-thieves everywhere in the capital, and the prince is frightened?" ”
King Yue waved his hand and said, "There is no danger, I don't know if the palace has gotten the news." No, this king has to enter the palace to face the saints, these thieves are bold. ”
Changxinghou stopped him with a flash step and said, "Don't worry, don't worry, first ask Zheng San what the current situation in the capital is." ”
Zheng Biao said: "When I came, I heard the news that the thieves set fire to Qingning Palace, and the casualties are unknown at present. ”
King Yue was startled and said, "Is the prince okay?" There are also thieves in the palace? That...... Can the father be disturbed? ”
Zheng Biao said: "The three major battalions have been transferred into the palace to protect the emperor, however, there are still many anti-thieves in the city, and the five city soldiers and horses and Jin Wuwei were ordered to block the whole city, and now the road is not passable, the prince might as well go to the Hou Ye's mansion first to wait for the news, it is safer." ”
Changxing Hou frowned, thinking that he was only afraid that the situation was not good, he had a good relationship with King Yue, and he was not restrained on weekdays, so without saying a word, he took King Yue's arm and said: "Lord Wang, the situation is urgent, listen to Zheng San, it's not safe outside, Changxing Houfu is close to here, go back to the house first." ”
King Yue said anxiously while struggling: "Your bride ......"
