Chapter 80: Attack on the Concubine (14)
After years of conquest, the Hu people in the west were finally convinced, and their prince led a party of pilgrimage and a large amount of tribute to the present saint, intending to agree on an armistice.
This was supposed to be a very celebratory event, and even Imajo was very happy about it, and even put on a grand show to receive the prince with the highest standard.
At the point when Prince Hu arrived, the celebration in the imperial city lasted all night, and even fireworks were set off above the city that would only be there during the New Year.
Fireworks are forbidden everywhere during the New Year's holidays, and she hasn't seen such a good scene for many years.
It's just that this noisy celebration has not yet dissipated, and changes have followed, and in the midst of this grand joy, the prince died violently, and the prince died violently with the seriously injured Jinshang.
Such an accident simply stunned Ding Candle, she carefully recalled the mission plot, there was no such stubble at all, she clearly remembered, even if Hongling died, the entire dynasty was calm, even if Hongling was a concubine who had no knowledge in the backyard, she must remember this kind of big thing.
But there is no in the plot, and if it is not, it means that this incident did not happen at all in the original plot, so what changed the original plot?
So that the whole plot has such a big deviation?
Ding Zhu rode on a horse and followed the entire team on the other side of the river towards the imperial city, while constantly rolling this question in her mind, but she couldn't find the right answer anyway, which made her extremely entangled, if there was such a big deviation in the mission plot, then how could her mission goal be completed?
The team in front stopped abruptly, and Ding Zhu also subconsciously pulled the reins, but the speed was too fast, and she pulled the reins too fast, causing the horses under her to stop too violently, and she was thrown off the horse at once.
At this moment, a strong hand held her, she looked back, but it was a woman named Yaqiu who looked at her very unpleasantly on weekdays, she solemnized a face, put Ding Zhu back on the horse, and said calmly: "What are you panicking about?" Your Majesty will be fine. ”
Ding Zhu looked at her quietly for a long time, and sighed in his heart, Sister, it's not Your Majesty that I'm worried about......
But his face still cooperated with Yaqiu: "I know." ”
In front of them is the city gate, but because after this incident, all the city gates have been closed, but fortunately, they belong to the special forces, and soon the city gate opened a side door and welcomed them in.
In the past, the city would be bustling late, but today, the whole city is as quiet as if it were dead, not only is there not a single figure in the streets, but even all the houses are not even lit by candles, and there is not even the sound of children crying.
Ding Zhu followed the other side and rode his horse through the wide, smooth street, and the horse's hooves struck a rapid crunch on the stone pavement, like a tired and moving war drum.
The horses galloped through the outer gates, the inner gates, and then into the imperial city, and after galloping like clouds in the huge palace, Ding Zhu and the others were arranged in an empty hall.
The room was crowded with people, all of them sat on the ground, Ding Zhu swept over everyone, and estimated that there were at least three or four hundred people in the whole hall, but there were so many people sitting in this room that no one spoke, they sat straight one by one, and if it weren't for the breath, it would almost make people feel that this was a lifeless sculpture.
These must be the last lines of protection to protect the life of the Son of Heaven.
It didn't take long to wait, and soon someone came to give the order.
The people on the other side were divided into four groups, all of them lurking near the Son of Heaven's dormitory, and no one could step into it.
It was as dark as thick ink.
When Ding Candle was quietly lying on the roof, she looked up at the sky, there was not even a star, let alone the moon, the whole sky was like this palace, it was completely dead, and there was not even a glimmer of life.
The deathly silence was soon shattered.
In front of the palace, there was a sudden noise of countless swords colliding, as well as the shouts of people, and the noise that it was impossible to tell what it was, all kinds of sounds mixed together, so chaotic and so anxious, and so desperate.
At this time, even if Ding Zhu had never seen it, she knew that the current situation was only the forced palace that appeared in countless literary works.
The so-called forced palace, isn't it that the son sees that Lao Tzu is always immortal, and reaches out to help Lao Tzu?
Sure enough, in the heavenly family, there is not even the most fundamental flesh and blood affection.
The first time she encountered such a situation, and it was the first time she was about to face such a melee scene, Ding Candle began to nervous irrepressibly, her teeth trembled violently, and even her hands trembled.
Yaqiu beside her grabbed her trembling wrist, but she didn't even turn her head, but the cold voice came: "What are you afraid of!" When you enter the other side, you should have expected that there will be a day when our existence will die for Your Majesty, and this is a well-deserved death. ”
"What's more, if it's far away from us, we won't die, and we won't tremble! If you shake it any longer, you will lose your head for a while, and you will definitely die. ”
Little sister, I know everything you said, but I, a young man born under the red flag, growing up in the spring breeze, and even the evil side of the world is rarely seen, when has I seen this kind of scene, it is natural that I will be cowardly......
After taking a few deep breaths, Ding Candle finally suppressed her unsightly fear, and her limbs gradually returned to normal, not so shaking.
Yaqiu said it well, from the people who forced the palace to enter the palace gate to the main hall to the dormitory where they are now is actually far away, all they do now is wait.
They waited, but some couldn't.
Suddenly, Ding Zhu saw a group of small snake-like teams holding lights quickly coming towards this side, she squinted her eyes and recognized, only to see clearly that the leader was a woman dressed in extremely luxurious clothes, but she couldn't distinguish her identity at all.
"Why is she here?" Yaqiu was obviously also very surprised by the appearance of this woman.
"Who?" With a studious attitude of not being ashamed to ask, Ding Zhu hurriedly asked.
"Concubine Lixian."
Ay? Who?
