Chapter 742: Guests
She led Wang Qiye, Xin Yi, Yueji, and Jiang Yujiao and others from Jiankang Mansion in a hurry. She took only light cavalry, no more, no less than five thousand. Five thousand people, if they meet Liu Haoxuan's men, they don't know who can win. But fortunately, she had already anticipated Liu Haoxuan's whereabouts, and knew that it was impossible for him to meet her.
Five thousand light cavalry came, and the transit along the way was extremely smooth, and the treatment of her by everyone was almost the same as that of Liu Yu.
Neither the officials nor the people wanted to offend her.
The night was pleasant, and Princess Jin sat by the river, looking at the sparkling river and looking up at the stars in the sky. Ever since she had seen the stars in the northern canopy that night, she had a plan in her heart. In the past few days, whenever it is a clear night, she must have carefully observed the stars and studied the astrolabe.
Zhu Jin stood behind her wearing a thorough forehead, looking at the inky sky like her, and wondered: "It's just a bunch of stars, what is the princess looking at?" ”
She smiled slightly, her eyes were still locked on the rising star, and she hooked her lips lightly, "That star is very bright, don't you see it?" ”
Zhu Jin really didn't see it, but he was puzzled: "I see that the sky is full of stars, and every star seems to be very bright, I really can't see which one you are talking about?" ”
No matter which one it is, as long as it can't be seen, it's invisible. If the heart does not move, the thing does not move, Zhu Jin's heart is like stopping water, isn't it just right.
She smiled again, "You see they're all the same, that's the same." I think they are completely different......" After a pause, a trace of ruthlessness gradually condensed in her eyes, and she said in a low voice: "Tonight, Mu Qingcheng will definitely come to attack us, you and Liu Haoxuan must find ways to kill her by surprise." ”
Zhu Jin lowered his head, "The revenge has not been avenged, I understand." After finishing his sentence, he hurriedly retreated.
That night, Liu Yu's military camp, which was camped on the bank of the river outside the city, suffered the most serious sneak attack since arriving in Jingzhou Mansion. The enemy army seemed to have planted an internal ghost in the army a long time ago, and led the troops to attack the big tent of the Chinese army. Although as long as you have fought in battle, you know the approximate location and layout of the barracks. But Liu Yu was suspicious in his heart, afraid of being attacked by someone, so he had already changed all the defenses to order.
It's a pity that even so, Mu Qingcheng still brought people in with him.
She came in, and the originally dark barracks were suddenly lit up like day. Liu Haoxuan, Zhu Jin and others, who had been waiting on the side for a long time, led the troops to entangle with her. Not only that, but he also gave her a wedding anniversary gift, and when she escaped, countless gunpowder exploded.
This half-hung gunpowder is not as good as the firearm researched by Wang Qiye. But after all, it is also a firearm, and it is located in the retreat of Mu Chengcheng, where does it matter whether the gunpowder is good or not? All I could hear was a roar, and there were countless screams.
The severed limbs and stumps flew all over the sky, and the river was dyed red with it.
Zhu Jin was so angry that he even caught up and tried to disfigure Mu Chengcheng. But obviously, Zhu Jin is not Mu Qingcheng's opponent. It was under such circumstances that Mu Qingcheng still fled.
Princess Jin sat in the big tent of the Chinese army, staring at the firelight outside the window, her eyes were cold, "Did she escape?" ”
Zhu Jin stood behind her, gritting her teeth, "I escaped, I don't know what's going on, it's a certainty, and I actually gave her a chance to escape." ”
"Hmph." Princess Jin sneered, squinted her eyes at the firelight on the other bank, and said lightly: "If she didn't escape, I suspect that it was fraud." Now that she's gone, I'm relieved. At least it proves that she is indeed the one who came to attack us tonight, and it also proves that my reasoning is not wrong. ”
Zhu Jin hurriedly bowed, "What the princess said is very true, at least, we have expected her whereabouts." ”
Princess Jin smiled again, and no longer looked at the firelight, but lifted the curtain and walked out. Outside, the sky was full of firelight, and the lights were as bright as day. The stars in the sky were bright, and she noticed that the new star seemed to be getting brighter and brighter, while the other old star seemed to be a little dimmer.
She hooked her lips and smiled, clenched her fists tightly under her wide sleeves, and said in a low voice, "This is just the beginning." I'm going to have her pay it back double. ”
The news that Mu Qingcheng was injured and escaped spread like snowflakes. The gate of Jingzhou City opened with trepidation. The prefect personally went out of the city and welcomed Liu Yu and Princess Jin into the city, and the people along the way welcomed him, and he almost held flowers in his hand and scattered them all over the sky.
Such a high-level courtesy, of course, was not to invite Liu Yu into the city to slaughter, but for another reason.
Liu Yu and Princess Jin were welcomed all the way into the city gate, walked along the wide street to the prefect's mansion, and finally stood in the backyard of the mansion. Liu Yu was in front, Princess Jin was behind, and the prefect was like Gonggong Zhuo beside the foolish emperor, bowing his body and hooking his buttocks, and carefully sent people into the flower hall.
Liu Yu sat in the seat of the prefect, Princess Jin sat next to Liu Yu, and the prefect sat with his body humble.
After nodding his head and flattering, the prefect pointed out his intentions, "Your Excellency...... To tell the truth, there are only a few family members left in Jingzhou Mansion, and there are really not many. It's all here. ”
The prefect raised his head bitterly, and after three high-fives, someone appeared outside the door. Twenty or thirty guards, escorting twenty or thirty dignified people, stood honestly outside the door. The clothes these people wore were obviously silk and satin, and they were born with fair skin, and they looked like big families.
Liu Yu sneered, "What are you doing with these people for me?" ”
Who doesn't know that Liu Yutun's soldiers are here, just to deal with Gongzi Xuan. The prefect said in a low voice: "These ...... They are all Gongzi Xuan's family members. ”
Princess Jin's eyes flashed, and she smiled and said, "You can be a man." Previously, they were worshiped as relatives of the emperor, and in the blink of an eye, they were imprisoned, can you have a good conscience? ”
The prefect smiled, like a pug who would beg for mercy, and said softly: "Princess, if the lower officials have a good conscience, the people of the entire Jingzhou Mansion will have an uneasy conscience. The subordinates beg you to take these people away quickly, and letting us Jingzhou people live is a way out. I won't tell you the truth, although we are Gongzixuan's hometown, as a hometowner, he can't help it, and he doesn't want to be an official......"
With the face of a pug, Princess Jin sneered.
Liu Yu looked up at everyone outside the door, and said lightly: "Okay." Kill a few useless and leave too much food to waste. ”
After finishing his sentence, I don't know if it was the sharp ears of the person outside the door, or if his voice was too loud. In short, the outside room is like dumplings boiling in a pot, flocking into the flower hall. Someone hugged the prefect's leg, "My lord, I don't want to die......"
Someone hugged Liu Yu's thigh, "Lord Taishou...... I have always been enemies with Huan Xuan's kid, and I have never been contaminated with any favors from him. Just last time, he sent someone to Jingzhou Mansion to pick up people, but because we didn't know him well, we didn't even go to Jiankang Mansion. Adult ......"
"My lord, the little woman is wronged...... The little girl was just a slave, and she became his family's concubine by impostor. The little girl is willing to be punished by impostor, and she doesn't want to die......"
