227, Huo Huan was assassinated
The sky is still not bright, but there are already joyful laughter in the barracks from time to time, everyone knows that today is the day when Huo Chen enters Beijing, as long as Huo Chen wins power, then there is no need to march and fight again, all the soldiers are looking forward to that moment.
Huo Chen also woke up early, he didn't put on armor, but a dark shirt, he felt that the color of this shirt was too heavy, but he stared at the sky outside for a long time, this was also a killing, it was very likely, his hands would be stained with a lot of blood.
He squeezed the navy blue blessing bag tightly, his heart couldn't be calm, after so many years, could he rehabilitate his mother. But at the same time, his life is also full of holes, the trace of warmth he begged for, but he ignored him farther and farther, he would not let her go too far, he had to use all means.
He put the blessing bag away, then jumped on his horse, and said aloud, "Let's go." β
The soldiers immediately cheered, and it was clear that they were looking forward to this moment.
Huo Chen only brought 5,000 soldiers and horses, in addition to leaving Chu Qing and Yufei to guard the military camp, he brought Yin Yuexi and Tilt Jiu, Tilt Jiu's wounds were not completely healed, but Tilt Jiu wanted to follow, and Huo Chen had to agree.
According to the news from Mo Yan, Mu Yanrong didn't move, but Mu Qizhi hadn't seen anyone for many days, and the corners of his mouth hooked, whether he escaped or was put under house arrest by Mu Yanrong. With Mu Yanrong's temperament, she must pave the way for herself, although he agreed to Mu Yanrong's request, but the emperor of the world will not be him for the time being.
At this moment, Mu Wanqing was looking at the rhombic bronze mirror with her eyebrows, she looked at herself in the mirror, although there was a trace of hesitation in her eyes, but she quickly suppressed this trace of hesitation.
From the beginning, she didn't pay more attention to Huo Chen, which was unfair, but she couldn't do anything.
She slowly stood up and asked the palace maid to put on plain white clothes for herself, this is a kind of sacrifice, thinking of this, her eyes couldn't help but moisten, in the end, God still let her choose.
"Are you ready? What exactly are you going to do? Mu Yanrong walked in slowly, and when she saw the plain white clothes Mu Wanqing was wearing, she couldn't help frowning.
Mu Wanqing looked at the bow and arrow on the shelf lightly, and said softly: "I'm going to the city gate, you help me stop Mo Yan." β
"Oh." Mu Yanrong thought about it, followed her gaze, and suddenly understood a little, this was originally a bet, she pressed everything on Mu Wanqing's body, and she didn't allow Mu Wanqing to fail.
Mu Yanrong walked over, holding Mu Wanqing's green silk, and his eyes gradually became sharp: "Don't think about letting him go, if you miss, you should think of the consequences." β
Mu Wanqing's whole body trembled, she couldn't imagine how fierce Mu Yanrong would be, she said in a trembling voice: "Please rest assured, since the concubine has agreed, it will definitely be successful." β
She took Mu Yanrong's hand away, but found that Mu Yanrong's hand was as cold as snow, and she began to understand that no matter how calm Mu Yanrong was at this time, there was fear in her heart. She took the bow and arrow, clenched it slowly, and exhaled softly before she made up her mind.
Huo Huan didn't care about political affairs, he was ready to abdicate, and he couldn't help but go to Mu Wanqing, at this time he was in the Chaolong Palace, waiting for that moment to come.
And he didn't know that Mu Yanrong was planning this thing.
Mu Wanqing and Du Heng boarded the city gate, Huo Chen had not yet arrived, Mu Wanqing looked at the great mountains and rivers in the distance, and couldn't help but feel: "I don't know how much blood is shed in exchange for a trace of comfort." β
Du Heng glanced at Mu Wanqing and sighed secretly in his heart, although he escorted Mu Wanqing to the city gate, Mu Yanrong also gave him a task, as long as Mu Wanqing did not kill Huo Chen, then he would kill Mu Wanqing immediately.
It seems that between her and Huo Chen, only one can survive.
But what choice will she make?
"The mother's mood seems to be a little worried." Du Heng told the truth.
Mu Wanqing smiled bitterly and said, "In life, who has nothing unsatisfactory. β
Du Heng nodded, and it seemed that Mu Wanqing had already chosen to obey.
In a short time, I could already see dust not far away above the city gate.
He's finally here.
The city gate was wide open, and the people lined up on both sides, and they were anxiously waiting for Huo Chen to enter Beijing. For the frightened people, comfort is the best.
But this scene will disappear immediately.
Mu Wanqing bent down, and then the location was good, she hid the bow and arrows, and she saw that the person who took the lead was Huo Chen, and her heart couldn't help but tense.
Seeing his heroic appearance, the smile on the corner of his mouth seemed to have felt that victory was in sight, but he didn't know that a greater test was waiting for him.
"Master, be careful in everything, I don't know what tricks Mu Yanrong will play." Yin Yuexi has always been more cautious, but when she saw that there was nothing unusual about the city gate, she didn't know if she was suspicious.
"It's a pity for the month, Mu Yanrong has no way out, where will there be any tricks." Relatively speaking, Tian Jiu didn't have any worries, not to mention that it was Mu Wanqing who negotiated in person, and he was more inclined to believe in Mu Wanqing.
Huo Chen didn't speak, and when he saw the people in the city, his heart was warm.
I don't know if Mu Wanqing is waiting for him in the palace, and what kind of mood she feels.
He thought about it, and he was already close to the city gate.
Mu Wanqing was hiding in the dark, already setting up her bow and arrows, her eyes narrowed slightly, aiming at Huo Chen's chest.
Arrows, just waiting for the moment to leave the string.
"Get out of the way."
A rebuke.
Yu Linwei said embarrassedly: "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother has issued an order, and no one can enter or leave the imperial city today. β
Huo Huan raised his eyebrows, and there were sparks in his eyes: "The Queen Mother." In your eyes, there is no such thing as me. β
All Yu Linwei were so shocked that they immediately knelt down, not daring to say anything more.
Huo Huan snorted coldly, Xiao Li Zi only heard the news just now, and the queen mother imprisoned Mu Qizhi's family, which was for another purpose.
The situation has developed to this point, is the queen mother still thinking about dying and struggling? He couldn't let Mu Wanqing fall into the whirlpool anymore, he had to stop it.
"If you don't get out of the way, I'll have to kill on a killing spree." Huo Huan's voice was cold, "Huo Chen is going to Beijing quickly, you already understand that the queen mother's general trend has gone." β
As soon as these words came out, Zhong Yu Linwei felt that Huo Huan wanted to escape.
Yes, once Huo Chen entered the Imperial City, everything was turned upside down.
Yu Linwei put away his sword and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, there are soldiers everywhere now, and it is not easy to get out of the city, but there is a river on the south side of the gate, which can only go out and not enter, and the emperor can escape from there." β
Huo Huan didn't want to explain anymore, so he hurriedly left the imperial city and ran towards the city gate.
The streets were full of happy people, Huo Huan ran fast, sweating like rain, the mistakes he made before hurt Qing'er, he wants to make up for it now, don't you even give him this chance.
At this time, there was a frightened voice among the people: "The second emperor has been hit by an arrow." The second emperor was hit by an arrow. β
Suddenly, chaos erupted in the streets.
What the hell is going on? Mu Wanqing is not in Fengren Palace, and he also knows that Mu Wanqing's archery skills are good, is it ......
He heard the sound of the gates slowly shut, and his feet were so weak that he could hardly hold on.
The streets were in a mess, and many people passed by him, chanting, "There is another war." What a wickedness. β
"I saw it, I saw it. It was the current queen who shot arrows and murdered the second emperor. β
"Isn't this a curse?"
"Yes, yes...... Yes......"
Huo Huan couldn't listen to it anymore, and the only thought in his mind now was to rush to the city gate and let Mu Wanqing find a trace of support.
But a cold light flashed in front of his eyes, he had been in a state of distraction, and by the time he could react, it was too late, and the sword pierced his chest, but fortunately he stepped back to make the wound not so deep.
Blood stained his yellow robe, and the blood fell down drop by drop, like a bewitching plum blossom.
The people screamed, and they could not imagine that such a thing was happening in the city.
Huo Huan covered his chest and stared up at the man in front of him, he recognized that it was the person Mu Wanqing brought back, Huo Chen's person.
"I didn't expect you to dare to leave the imperial city." Mo Yan's voice was extremely cold, he finally escaped from the encirclement of Yu Linwei, but when he heard this news, it turned out that Mu Wanqing practiced archery in order to assassinate Huo Chen.
He's just too careless.
But when he saw Huo Huan here, he must kill Huo Huan, and he couldn't let Mu Yanrong be so happy.
"You...... Get out of the way. Huo Huan only thought about Mu Wanqing, no matter how much pain in his chest was, he couldn't withstand the worry in his heart.
"Then it depends on your ability, you have betrayed your faith, and actually did such a thing, killed you, and gave an explanation to your master." Mo Yan raised his sword, and he was already mercilessly stabbing at Huo Huan's faΓ§ade.
Huo Huan could only barely resist, he wanted to go to the east city gate, but Mo Yan kept stopping him and didn't let him have any chance to escape, Huo Huan could only retreat to the south city gate.
But his wound had already lost too much blood, and even if it didn't hurt his heart and lungs, his consciousness gradually blurred.
Mo Yan's moves are sharp, Huo Huan can only be a deserter, but he is getting closer and closer to the south city gate, and there will be a large number of soldiers at that time, Mo Yan doesn't want to delay any longer, and wants to solve Huo Huan immediately.
Although Huo Huan was injured, but his martial arts began above Mo Yan, and Mo Yan had consumed a lot of physical strength when Yu Linwei fought him, and his movements were a little slow, Huo Huan thought of what Yu Linwei had told him just now, this might be his only chance to escape, he seized this opportunity and ran to the river.
Mo Yan hurriedly followed, there was still some distance from the South City Gate, he had a little refreshment, but he saw Huo Huan jumping down the river.
