Chapter 32: A Rainy Night
The ancients said well, if you don't succeed, you will become benevolent.
Nangong Chen's gaze was gloomy, lining his heroic face a little weirdly, and in the flickering candle flame, he stood up slowly, stepped to the bed step by step, leaned in and took down the sword.
The sword looked a little old, a little old, and the hilt was smooth from the years of gripping. Nangong Chen gently pushed the hilt of the sword, and with a soft sound, the sword was unsheathed.
Xu is because of the candle flame, the cold light of the sword body was shrouded in a little yellow, Nangong Chen turned his wrist slightly, and his face with an evil smile was printed on the sword body.
"You forced me, you forced me!"
For a moment, Nangong Chen's expression was strangely crazy, but he still lowered his voice and did not alarm the soldiers outside the courtyard.
"It's been more than ten years, and after this war, I can finally go home!"
The moonlight was shining outside, and the candles inside trembled and trembled, and finally went out.
October 12 is the day of General Nangong's wedding, which is something that everyone in the imperial capital of Yunguo knows. Everyone is waiting for this lively marriage, not to mention that General Nangong is a rare young talent in Yunguo, who has followed General Mao since he was a child, and established countless military industries in the chaos of the Eighteen Emperors, which is deeply loved by the girls who have not come out of the pavilion in Yunguo. The girl is also the goddess in the hearts of the people of Yunguo, and she became famous because of the dance of the Heavenly Maiden back then, and she is still the confidant of the literati.
Not to mention that the true identity of Miss Hongyun has gradually spread out, this marriage is actually the marriage of General Nangong and Prime Minister Lin Qingyan, and it is also the marriage of the General's Mansion and the Prime Minister's Mansion!
Those officials who were secretly imprisoned because of dancing and turning over old accounts were lifted on October 10, anyway, the leaders were dead, and the prison was about to die. After getting the emperor's dictation, he asked them to think about it for themselves first, and then hand over the excerpt of the guilty plea when General Nangong's marriage was over. This is still the royal favor that Her Royal Highness the princess asked for them, if the attitude of admitting guilt is not sincere enough, but if you want to continue to be imprisoned, you will be dismissed if it is serious.
These officials trembled and thanked the order, and those who were active in their hearts immediately picked up and gathered their minds - they originally thought that without the princess and the emperor was so stubborn, they could overthrow it together. Who knew that this matter would be revealed so quickly, not only did Her Royal Highness the princess come back, but it was also difficult to deal with, which of them didn't drag dozens or hundreds of people with their families? How dare you not confess your guilt sincerely!
On the evening of October 11, the moonlight began to be a little hazy, and in the second half of the night, it was completely hidden. Then, within a quarter of an hour, it began to rain very well, and it was not raining much, but it did not bode well on the wedding day.
Inside the palace, the guards patrolled back and forth, and the emperor's and queen's bedrooms had been turned off and silenced. The imperial study was lit up, and the princess's Nihua Palace was also brightly lit.
"Your Highness, it's raining." Chimang came in from the outside, and when he opened the door, the breeze brought in a smell of earth, and Wu Jinghong had just been served by the maid and dressed, and the tip of his nose shrugged, "It seems that God knows." ”
"I heard that Your Majesty hasn't slept all night, and now you're still in the imperial study!"
"The father himself has a sense of proportion, what about the queen mother?"
"I have already stopped, and I said that I have received a message from His Majesty. But a smart person like Niangniang probably knows it. ”
"It's good to know, just in case." Wu Jinghong's face remained unchanged, she believed that the secret guards around her father and queen mother would be able to protect them, and she had Qimang and Wei Ting and others by her side, probably worry-free.
It's just that how many innocents are going to be involved!
Wu Jinghong shook her head, in order not to startle the snake, she did not move at all from the arrangement on the bright side of the palace, and only prepared some more secret soldiers in the dark, how much can she save when the time comes!
"What time is it?"
After sitting for a while, Wu Jinghong shrugged the tip of his nose keenly and asked the time.
"Your Highness, the ugly time is over."
Wu Jinghong nodded, walked to the window, and looked out through the window, "It's started, do you hear me?" ”
Chimang also became nervous, and gestured to Qimang, who was guarding outside, signaling vigilance. She didn't hear the voice, but with His Highness's ability, His Highness said that it had begun, and it must have begun. Those guys are not the army to suppress the city, they are all using assassination techniques, where can you hear the sound of shouting and killing.
Soon, though, she did hear voices.
Although it is not the sound of shouting and shouting, but the sharp and piercing sound of swords intersecting and swords entering the body.
The last wave of news came, saying that the emperor had also gone to Zhaohua Palace, the queen had been awakened, and the guards had already protected Zhaohua Palace, but it was just that the direction of the group was not going that way.
Wu Jinghong breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that she expected it right, although she hasn't figured out the connection yet, but those foreign envoys must have Nangong Chen's helpers, and Nangong Chen's goal has always been herself!
"Your Highness, the Nihua Palace is besieged!" Chimang relied on the sound of the wind to discern it, and his bad premonition had been replaced by nervousness and worry, "Your Highness will hide first!" ”
Wu Jinghong retreated to the inner room, walked straight to his dresser, slowly pushed the bronze mirror aside, heard the sound of heavy wood and stone turning, and the wall behind the dresser slowly opened a door.
"Your Highness, Wei Ting will protect you closely, and Chimang will guard this place for you!" Chimang's face changed suddenly, and someone rushed in directly, she didn't have time to say anything, she jumped out of the window, and drew her sword to block the sword before her feet landed.
"It's you!" That sword was quite old, and when Chimang was surprised, he raised his eyes and found that it was Nangong Chen who rushed directly into the Nihua Palace and broke all the way to the princess's bedroom!
Half of Nangong Chen's body was covered with blood, and his face was splashed a lot, and he was stained with dirty by the light rain, he grinned gloomily, and his voice at this time was no longer intentionally lowered, "Dance Jinghong, come out!" ”
"Don't you think about it!" Chimang was a little annoyed and a little hateful, and he didn't hesitate at all, "Your Highness used to treat you wholeheartedly, but you actually had bad intentions!" ”
"Humph!" It seems that Nangong Chen didn't want to talk to Chimang, so his eyes were ruthless and he immediately returned the move, and the move went towards Chimang's vital point, and the killing intent was surging.
Chimang was horrified in his heart, didn't this Nangong Chen's martial arts be inferior to General Mao? She once fought against General Mao, and the two were on par. But why is it that she has a hard time parrying it now? Could it be that he had been deliberately hiding it before? When did this guy get his mind!
Chimang and Nangong Chen's side had just started fighting, and immediately someone else killed them, and Qimang immediately surrounded them.
In the Yunguo Imperial Palace, this night was particularly long.
Wu Jinghong lit the lamp in the dark room, then sat cross-legged on the bed, closed his eyes and concentrated. She is confident that they will not lose, in the end, this is still the Kingdom of Yun, it is the Imperial City of the Kingdom of Yun, no matter whether they bring dead soldiers, soldiers or even killers bought from the rivers and lakes, they are no match for General Mao's iron cavalry!
That's right, as early as half a month ago, she had already informed Mao Fanting to transfer the Tiger Battalion, which was stationed less than thirty miles outside the imperial capital, back to the imperial capital. Don't forget, the rest of the Tiger Battalion are waiting outside the gate of the imperial capital, and none of those people can escape!
Moreover, her killer weapon has not yet been dispatched, if you want to talk about killing, I am afraid that no one can compare to King Shura!
The dance closed his eyes and rested without panic, just waiting for the dawn.
"Yo, I really let Hong'er say it, it's so lively here today! Hey, why don't you see Hong'er in such a lively way? ”
Chimang hurriedly blocked Nangong Chen's sword, and shouted without turning his head, "Your Highness is fine!" ”
Jiuzun smiled, "It's okay, that's right, Hong'er's posture of heaven and man, it's too cheap if you don't hide it, these dying people!" ”
I don't know where he came from, but looking at that relaxed appearance, it seems that he hasn't used martial arts yet, but he is just a little wet from the rain.
Nangong Chen stopped his hand and stared at Jiuzun gloomily, it was this guy who ruined his good deeds - if he hadn't taken Wu Jinghong to the Rain Country in one more move, there would not be so much trouble in the future!
If it is according to his plan, Yunguo will be in his pocket tomorrow!
"Phew!" Nangong Chen took a sip fiercely, and the tip of the sword was raised to face Jiuzun, which meant self-evident.
"I said you're funny, what's the point of you doing it now? I really don't understand, look at you making trouble in Hong'er's house, hey! Jiuzun looked around and shook his head sadly, but he didn't mean to fight at all.
This time, Nangong Chen didn't snort, raised his sword and rushed forward.
Chi Mang, who had just taken a breath, looked at his heart tightened, but he didn't care too much when he thought of who King Shura was, and turned his head and rushed into the melee again.
"Your Highness, King Shura has arrived."
Wu Jinghong slowly opened his eyes, Wei Ting knelt in front of her upright, and his voice was low, "I've already handed over Nangong Chen." ”
"It seems that there is nothing outside the palace, General Mao should have also arrived at Zhaohua Palace, and everyone is here with me."
"Yes, there are quite a few people on the periphery, and there are also people at the tunnel exit."
"Hmm." Wu Jinghong responded lightly, she didn't plan to escape from the tunnel, tonight's situation is too clear, and it is not her who wants to escape.
From the ugly time, the blood gradually rose, to the rooster crowing, to the sky to see the light, until the beginning of the hour, the dance Jinghongan sat quietly for three hours.
"Wei Ting."
"The subordinates are here."
"Get out!"
It's time for the dust to settle, and Wu Jinghong opened his eyes, and it was clear.
As soon as he stepped out of the doorway, he heard the screeching sound of iron objects, which was very close, only a door away. Wu Jinghong walked over and opened the door, only to feel that the breeze was blood-red.
The outside of her dormitory was also in trouble, and everything that could be destroyed was destroyed, and the doors and windows were almost all in tatters. Through the broken doors and windows, she could see the scarlet floor outside.
What a good night!
Wu Jinghong continued to raise her feet and walk out, Wei Ting followed behind her, the long sword was already in her hand, vigilantly circling around.
