Chapter 296: Riding into the palace alone
The woman came closer, still smiling, and whispered, "This is the end of bullying my sister!" With that, he withdrew his hand backwards, and the soldier fell with a bang, already out of breath.
The other soldiers were horrified, and they all pulled out their swords and pointed at this female evil star who killed the two in an instant without changing her face, but no one dared to step forward.
At this time, four guards ran over and stopped everyone: "Stop! This is the Sima County Lord who went to persuade the six princes to surrender, and he can't make a mistake! ”
All the soldiers recognized the four people as the close guards of the sixth prince, and they all shouted: "She, she killed our two brothers!" ”
The four guards had already seen what had happened in the distance, but they couldn't pursue Sima Hongyan at this time, and glanced at the leader who was still twitching on the ground, and one of them said, "That's their own fault!" ”
Sima Hongyan put away the phoenix evil, came to the two sisters, looked up and down as if they were not injured, then relieved, hugged their shoulders and said, "I'm sorry!" Let you be wronged! He also rubbed Zhong Liying's red face in distress, looking at the clear five handprints, Sima Hongyan suddenly had the urge to draw his sword to kill.
Zhong Liying smiled and said, "Eldest sister, it's okay if you're fine, I'm fine, I'm not in pain!" ”
Ban Lingruo also said: "Sister, you scared me to death, I thought they were plotting against you!" ”
Sima Hongyan hugged them again and said, "I'm fine, don't worry!" I'm going to the palace now, you wait for me to come back, don't worry, you'll be fine!" ”
Ban Lingruo and Zhong Liying were not worried, and nodded together: "Sister, go, we believe in you!" ”
Sima Hongyan was reluctant to part with his two sisters, and before leaving, his eyes swept around the rebels. Every soldier who was swept by her eyes was trembling and frightened.
Sima Hongyan said coldly at this time: "I remember all your appearances, if you let me know that any of you dare to be disrespectful to my sister, he is an example!" After saying that, he kicked the corpse of the leader who was already angry, and then glanced at the two younger sisters, turned his head and left.
Before leaving, the four prince's guards instructed the soldiers: "Be polite to the two girls, they are still and are still the prince's guests!" After speaking, he chased after Sima Hongyan.
The soldiers looked at each other, and they all looked at each other. Just now he asked people to set up an execution ground, and now he says that this is a guest, this prince's hospitality is really unpredictable.
Sima Hongyan got on his horse and walked straight to the palace, the tighter he was from the palace, the more soldiers he encountered. They saw a beautiful girl coming alone, and they all stared at her curiously.
When you get to the palace gate of the inner city, you can see the original yellow and red imperial city wall from a distance, one by one stained with blood, which dyes the original * solemn siege into a long painting, but there is no beauty in the painting, only the cruelty and shock brought by war and death are left.
At the base of a wall not far away, countless corpses were covered with various pieces of cloth and straw mats, all of which were splattered with blood, and they were all wearing Yanling's armor, the only difference was that some of the corpses had a white rope tied to their right arm.
Seeing these Sima Hongyan's hearts were pinched for some reason, maybe they were still alive a few hours ago, but now they have become a cold corpse, no one cares who they are called, only their own families are heartbroken. Sima Hongyan seemed to have seen the old men and their wives holding these corpses and crying bitterly.
The ground was red and black, mottled and uneven, as if it had been graffitied, and it was blood all over the ground. When a piece is sprinkled, I am afraid that before it dries up, it will be covered with new blood, and there will be these different shades of mottling.
Not far away, crooked, sitting or lying were wounded soldiers, some of whom had been bandaged and were snorting in pain, and some of whom were so badly injured that they could only wait there for death. The stumps and broken arms were all over the ground, and some had even been trampled so that they could not see the original state, lying flat on the road.
Sima Hongyan was in a bad mood, she jumped off her horse and walked towards the palace gate on the blood-stained ground. She couldn't remember how many times she had walked into the palace from here, but today was the heaviest walk.
A young girl in a long red and white dress suddenly appeared on the battlefield of killing, causing all the soldiers facing the two armies to froze. The Yanling soldiers, who were still staring at each other with red eyes and ready to fight at any time, were attracted by that beautiful red, this was not a bloody red, nor was it a killing red.
She made everyone's hearts suddenly calm, and at the same time gave birth to a sense of tranquility and unbearability.
Everyone looked at this beautiful girl like a fairy quietly, and they were all infected by the faint sadness in her eyes, which made their eyes slightly sour.
Then they saw that the woman's eyes were moist, but the tears that were full of them never slipped out of their sockets, and they were full of puffs in the bright eyes, which made her eyes appear brighter.
In fact, the red on Sima Hongyan's body was the blood that had just been dyed, but it was sprinkled into flowers on Sima Hongyan's white dress, turning into a delicate pattern, as if it was originally embroidered on this long white dress.
Yan Hong has not closed his eyes for three days and three nights in the city gate, and the city gate is like a line of life and death, and those who cross it are stepping into hell, and no one is spared.
When both armies were attracted by Sima Hongyan, Yan Hong thought that he was hallucinating, he seemed to see Sima Hongyan who was thinking about Sima Hongyan day and night, and the person who missed him was slowly walking towards her.
Yan Hong smiled, the corners of his mouth tilted slightly, revealing a relieved smile. Maybe he will face death in the next moment, but to see Sima Hongyan again, he feels that it is enough, even if it is in a hallucination.
Walking to the position between the two armies, Sima Hongyan saw that the ground under her feet was completely red, and she could no longer see the original color, she forcibly did not let the tears fall in her eyes, but said softly: "On behalf of the six princes, I went in to negotiate with the emperor, please stop fighting for the time being, don't let Yanling's brothers bleed!" ”
"Don't let Yan Ling's brother bleed anymore!" This sentence made everyone bow their heads in shame, and suddenly they felt that the enemies they had killed were also compatriots who lived in the same land as themselves, and even some of the enemies who died at their hands were still people they knew. They all wore the same armor, held the same weapons, and even had the word "Yanling" embroidered on their chests.
Suddenly, I felt that the breath of death had faded, the clamours and shouts of killing had disappeared, and the surroundings had returned to their former peace, as if the battle had never happened for several days. Yan Hong's spirit also relaxed inexplicably, his whole body was weak, and he fell to the ground uncontrollably.
Suddenly, a force came from his shoulder, holding him firmly and helping him to stand up again. Yan Hong turned his head with great effort, and a familiar face appeared in front of him. Only then did Yan Hong realize that everything he saw just now was not an illusion, she was Sima Hongyan, the Sima Hongyan who made him dream at night and haunted his dreams.
Yan Hong regained consciousness in an instant, he struggled to hold Sima Hongyan's hand, and said anxiously in a hoarse voice, "What are you doing here?" Come on! Let's go! The hoarseness of his voice made Yan Hong not react for a while, and this was actually his own voice.
However, the face in front of Yan Hong was actually full of sadness, although she was biting her lower lip with her teeth to force herself not to cry, but the moment she saw Yan Hong's haggard face and covered in blood, a tear slipped out of Sima Hongyan's eyes.
Yan Hong's heart softened, he didn't dare to shout at her loudly anymore, he gently wiped away the tears for Sima Hongyan with his bloodstained hands, and said in a gentle voice: "Since you're gone, why bother coming back?" ”
Sima Hongyan said: "Something so big happened, how could I not come back?" Don't talk about this, let's go to the palace, I want to see the emperor! ”
Yan Hong looked at the soldiers on both sides, slightly hesitant. Sima Hongyan knew what he was thinking and said, "Don't worry! I made an appointment with the Sixth Prince, and during the time I entered the palace, there would be no more casualties. ”
Yan Hong was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect Sima Hongyan to meet with the sixth prince and make an agreement.
Full of curiosity, Yan Hong was helped by Sima Hongyan and walked towards the palace, and a guard brought a horse for them. Sima Hongyan helped Yan Hong up first, then jumped on the horse and sat behind Yan Hong.
Yan Hong was so tired that he almost collapsed, and when he saw that Sima Hongyan was sitting behind the horse in order to take care of himself, he still felt that it was inappropriate, so he said, "I'm fine, you come in front of me." I only heard Sima Hongyan's voice behind him was not loud, but very insistent and said, "Don't talk, sit down!" ”
The horses galloped and went straight to the palace.
When they arrived in front of the main hall of the court, Sima Hongyan and Yan Hong jumped off their horses. I saw hundreds of forbidden soldiers guarding the door, and from the door not far behind them, there was a noisy sound, as if there were dozens of people talking at the same time.
Yan Hong frowned, but Sima Hongyan didn't care at all.
The two walked briskly inside, and the forbidden army gave way one after another. When I arrived at the door, I saw that the majestic and solemn court was full of people standing in black and black, guarding a circle of forbidden troops on the side, the ministers of civil and military affairs were gathered in the center of the hall, Emperor Yanzhen sat on the high platform dragon chair with a gloomy face, and all the princes were surrounded by Emperor Yanzhen.
At this time, the ministers all looked angry, and they were all shouting there, not as trembling as before. Several generals drew their swords and blocked the high platform of the dragon throne, confronting the ministers. A few ministers stood far away, looking at the people who were still shouting with playfulness in their eyes.
The usually high-spirited princes all looked nervous at the moment, holding swords in their hands, but they were trembling slightly, revealing the panic and fear in their hearts.
Yan Hong and Sima Hongyan came in from the gate, and Emperor Yan Zhen saw it at a glance. Especially when he saw that the person next to Yan Hong was Sima Hongyan, he showed a little surprised look.
