Chapter 329: Behind the Scenes
The Purple Cloud Palace shrouded in the night was faintly filled with smoke and clouds, adding a sinister aura to the dead silence, and in front of the closed door, the thin young man who was hobbling gently pushed the door open, and the vermilion door panel made a creepy creak.
There was no human figure in sight in the empty outer hall, only a pool of blood condensed black and red, and there seemed to be ghosts lurking in the dark corners. In the hideous and terrifying atmosphere, the door of the inner sanctum slowly opened, and with the piercing sound of chains mopping the floor, a ray of dim light came into view.
The light came from the flickering and dim lantern, through which it could not see the scene of the inner sanctum at all, only heavy wheezing and **, and vaguely smelled blood. Perhaps it was intentional by the heavens, and a thunderclap suddenly exploded without warning, and the silver light flashed in an instant, and the vision immersed in the darkness finally became clear.
Blood, eyes full of blood......
It wasn't the inner sanctum of the palace at all, but a demon cave decorated with flesh and blood.
A mournful whisper pierced the night sky, echoing through the long alleys, and a few pale lanterns converged after the whispering, and all stopped in front of a hut.
"What's going on, what's wrong with the third lady,." The rugged male voice was slightly panicked, and the knock on the door was quite chaotic.
"It's okay, it's okay, Sister Bai is just having a nightmare." The girl's crisp voice came from the room. Hearing this answer, a few strong men at the door let out a long breath, looked at each other, smiled bitterly a few times, shook their heads and left, leaving a little lonely light in the hut silent in the rainy night.
In autumn, the water in the copper basin was a little biting, Ye Hua hissed and wrung a wet cloth with cool air, and carefully wiped the sweat on Bai Qige's head.
"Sister Bai is better, do you want to call the mustachioed military division,"
"No need, it's just a nightmare, I'm already much better." After the sweat was wiped away, Bai Qige smiled and lay back on the bed again. When the hour was not ugly, because of the nightmare just now, he said that he couldn't sleep anymore, Bai Qige turned over and grabbed Ye Huawan, and still had palpitations when he remembered the dream: "I dreamed that Fu Chu went to save Chen Jing and them, it seems that he went to Ziyun Palace, but Ziyun Palace is like a prison, it is cloudy and cold, and there is a smell of blood everywhere......"
Ye Huawan held Bai Qige's cold hands and firmly placed them in her small palm: "Sister Bai, this is worrying too much, thinking about it day and dreaming night." Didn't Brother Xu say during the day, the forbidden army in the palace was about to be broken if it couldn't resist it, and when Sister Bai retired, we would definitely be able to enter the palace to save Brother Chen and Senior Brother Chen. It's Sister Bai, your illness ......" After a light sigh of discord with the age, Ye Huawan held her chin and frowned sadly: "Sister Bai will not sleep after Brother Ning disappeared, look, is it that you are tired and sick, is it, finding Brother Ning's things on the edge of the cliff does not mean that Brother Ning has an accident, maybe he escaped first, good people are rewarded, I believe that Brother Ning will be safe and live a long life, Sister Bai must also believe in it." ”
"Say no more, Leaf." Bai Qige shook his head and closed his eyes tiredly.
Ning Xidrunk was chased and killed by the people sent by Yi Chenxuan and lost his trace, Lei Lao Er personally led people to look for it, but found that Ning Xidrunk rode on the side of the cliff dozens of miles away and the folding fan he never left his hand, but he couldn't find anyone, this situation really couldn't convince Bai Qige not to think about it.
No matter what Ning Xidrunk's true identity is, and whether he is really related to An Lingguo, he has always been caring and considerate to Bai Qige, and he is sincere and sincere, and Bai Qige does not want him to have any mistakes with such a confidant.
Yi Chenjing, I'd rather get drunk......
The two most important men in her life are now in a situation of uncertainty about life and death.
In fact, Bai Qige didn't say all the content of the dream just now, she was afraid that saying it would scare Ye Huawan, after all, such a near-real scene was too terrifying, the inner hall of the Purple Cloud Palace in the dream was like Yi Chenxuan's torturous demon cave, the moment the lightning slashed, she saw a person hanging in the room, covered in flesh and blood, every wound was desperately terrifying, and that person, she knew, was Yi Chenjing.
I wish the dream was false, or her heart would be shattered into a handful of dust, because of his suffering, and because she could not appear to him at once, to save him, or to share the pain.
Tossing and turning all night, when the sky was bright, Bai Qige's fever subsided, but the eye circles were inevitably swollen, and a large black mark appeared.
"The Forbidden Army is almost out of shells, and we will be able to break into the palace in a day or two at most. Ah, by the way, Third Miss, this is a note that the people picked up from the palace drainage canal just now, and the last general didn't have time to read it, and I don't know who wrote it, the wax pill outside said that if it was sent to the third lady, he could receive a heavy reward,," In the small courtyard, Xu Zezhi, who replaced Bai Qige in charge of the army, was chattering about the situation, and suddenly raised his head, and was startled by Bai Qige's haggard face, "This ...... Third Miss, you better rest more......"
Bai Qige waved his hand and took the note weakly: "It's okay, I didn't sleep well two days ago before I contracted a fever, I slept all day yesterday, and now it's fine." ”
Xu Zezhi moved his lips, and he didn't say anything at the end, who doesn't know Bai Qige's stubborn temper, now that Yi Chenjing is imprisoned, she would rather be drunk and disappear, if she can rest and sleep in peace, it won't be Bai Qige.
Unfolding the crumpled note, Bai Qige's eyes lit up, he took a deep breath, exhausted his physical and mental strength, and instantly returned to the resolute and resolute female general: "General Xu, you have arrangements for what I ordered before,"
Xu Zezhi was stunned for a moment, and then immediately reacted, clenching his fists and bowing: "According to the order of the third young lady, the last general has already arranged for the remaining righteous soldiers in Qiaojiazhai to go to a safe place, and has also sent a message to the old general to beware of someone attacking." Why, King An Ning really sent people to Qiaojiazhai and Zhaoguo,"
"Well, here's a note from the Queen." Bai Qige nodded, a rare smile appeared on his face, "Finally, Yi Chenxuan didn't succeed this time." He is used to thinking of himself as a hunter, playing with his prey and then killing them all, I am afraid that he will attack Qiaojiazhai and Zhaoguo before I tell you those arrangements. Sure enough, as I expected, he sent a lot of soldiers and horses to Zhaoguo and Qiaojiazhai, but this time he was going to completely fight the air. If Daddy's sword is not old, and Yi Chenxuan's 20,000 soldiers and horses can't come back to Yaoguo, we don't have to worry about the future, and we can do our best to take down the palace. ”
"The third lady is clever. The last general wondered why he arranged it like this before, but now he knows that the third sister's ability to take precautions and strategize is by no means under General Bai. ”
Xu Zezhi's words were completely sincere and not flattering, but Bai Qige still smiled and lightly rejected the praise: "It's not that I'm smart, but I understand Yi Chenxuan's methods, he is an out-and-out madman." ”
"There should be a reason for a madman, Emperor Yao and the crown prince are blood relatives of King Anning, and such a rebellious thing as killing his father and killing the king and fratricidal cannibalism is ......" Xu Zezhi shook his head in confusion.
Bai Qige did not continue to explain. She is not very clear about Yi Chenxuan's motives, she used to think that Yi Chenxuan was simply to compete for the throne, but now it seems that the truth is far more than that, what Yi Chenxuan wants is by no means as easy to guess as the power of the throne.
No matter what the facts are, Yi Chenxuan can't escape the charges of falsely transmitting the holy decree, fornicating with the enemy country, launching the palace mutiny, and imprisoning the emperor.
"General Xu, later, you will take someone to quietly buy some wine and meat, and let the soldiers eat and drink well tomorrow night, and the day after tomorrow, we will rush into the palace in one go." The decisive battle of life and death was said lightly by Yun Qingfeng, as if it was just a very ordinary thing, Bai Qige stared at the haze and clouds above his head, and clutched the note from the queen in his palm.
It's time to put an end to everything, the grievances with Yi Chenxuan, and the bad fate with Yi Chenjing.
On the third day of learning the details of the palace from the note, Bai Qige led 700 Hongying troops and Yi Chenjing's private soldiers to launch an offensive against the palace forbidden army for the last time, and three hours later, the forbidden army could not resist and removed the palace wall, and half an hour later, the palace gate was breached.
The forbidden army, which had been besieged for many days, was already exhausted, and had no power to resist in the face of the fierce opponent, after the soldiers along the road entered the imperial capital without blood, Bai Qige broke through the bronze wall of the palace at the fastest speed to create a new legend, and at the same time pushed this sudden palace change to the Gao Dynasty.
"What the hell are you waiting for, Bai Qige has already attacked." The door of the inner hall of the Purple Cloud Palace was kicked open, and the angry Ruan Yanluo appeared at the door, his face pale.
Yi Chenxuan didn't pay attention to Ruan Yanluo's anger, but turned his gaze to the golden cage, and looked at Emperor Yao with some mockery: "Second uncle, this is the forbidden army of the imperial city that you are proud of, and it has only been a few days since it was beaten by the soldiers of Bai Haocheng, compared to the Bai family, the even general is nothing more than that." ”
Emperor Yao's cloudy eyes moved, and he still couldn't speak, but Ruan Yanluo couldn't help but rush to Yi Chenxuan at the door, not only did he not obey the order, but he was also faintly threatening: "Yi Chenxuan, you said that the general trend is in your hands, and now, seeing that the enemy is about to rush in, will you just sit and wait for death?" I knew that this was the case, and it was better to let you be in Cangwu until you died of old age. ”
"Heh, I'm in a hurry, because I found that I couldn't even find a way out of escape," Yi Chenxuan sneered, leisurely raised his finger and pinched Ruan Yanluo's jaw, and coldly looked at him inch by inch, "A woman like you only has skin to look at, and she is so ugly in her bones that it makes people sick, and she doesn't even want to play tricks with her brains, it's just beyond her strength." ”
Ruan Yanluo was annoyed and embarrassed by Dao Po's heart, his face was blue and white for a while, and his lips trembled with anger.
She originally planned to escape from the palace and return to Mo Nan when she saw that the situation was not good, but she didn't expect Bai Qige to attack so quickly, and all the ways out were blocked, so she came to find Yi Chenxuan in desperation, but the result was to bring humiliation on herself. Ruan Yanluo really couldn't guess what Yi Chenxuan's plan was, seeing that he had no intention of escaping, his heart became more and more bottomless, and in a hurry, he was vicious, with a corner of his mouth and a green snake with the thickness of a finger between his sleeves and quickly rushed up to Yi Chenxuan's shoulder.
