Chapter 84: The Central Plains: Chencheng Coup (6)
Xiao Huli's return to the light bizarrely persisted for seven days, and finally fell in regret, and made the last will before the temporary: "The Central Plains is uncertain, and I swear not to be buried!" ”
Everyone maintained a respectful attitude towards the last wish of the founding emperor of the Chen Dynasty, Chongqi even contributed a top secret to ensure that the corpse would not rot, and parked Xiao Huli's coffin on the North City Gate, wanting him to look at the day of the Central Plains in Beiding, this move was romantic in the eyes of the scholars, and it was also deeply rooted in the hearts of the people of the world, allowing everyone to see the firm confidence of the Chen Dynasty to dominate the world.
The crown prince Xiao Bo succeeded to the throne in front of the spirit, respected Xiao Huli as the ancestor, changed the Yuan Beiding, and the queen Zhongrou Ning respected as the queen mother, and listened to the government before the emperor reached the age of sixteen, and the seven auxiliary ministers immediately worshiped the new monarch.
The kneeling spirit is the most difficult, the new monarch is young, and among Xiao Huli's younger generations, only Xiao Yu is the closest, so Xiao Yu naturally took on this responsibility.
"Your Highness, everything is ready, Chongqi has secretly returned this morning, and now it is estimated that he has entered the boundary of Yongzhou, according to the previous promise, he will enter Yongzhou safely, and the soldiers and horses deployed in the south will be dispatched immediately." Gan Ming knelt behind Xiao Yu and whispered.
"What is the reaction of Meng Yan's soldiers and horses in Shaonan Pass?" Xiao Yu asked in a low voice.
"There is no movement, our people have all arrived safely in Aotou Town, as long as the city sends a signal, they will come in immediately, and it is General Teng Han who leads the troops."
For the sake of safety, Xiao Yu deliberately took the risk of transferring Teng Han over to lead the troops, if he knew that Teng Han was not in Jiujiang, whether it was Meng Yan or Zhong Roulan, they would laugh happily.
"Tell the brothers, Chou Shi will control the Suzaku Gate at all times, and the ministers of the DPRK and the Central Committee will not hurt their lives as long as they are not strongly resistant, and the Pinghai Guild will cooperate with you." Xiao Yu thought for a while, and finally gave the order.
"What to do with Zhong and Montessori?" Gan Ming knew that the prince's biggest enemies were Zhong Roulan and Meng Yan, so he asked deliberately.
"The people of the Zhong clan, except for the lord of Chenyang, will be killed on the spot as long as they resist." Xiao Yu said indifferently, for him, the Zhong family's relatives can't let them become the climate, they must be cleared, and then continued: "The Mengshi Santang can't be a big deal, as long as they are stable, house arrest is enough, as for Meng Yan, you can't stop him, but you have to control his wife and children, don't stop him if he wants to go, but I don't think he will leave." ”
After Gan Ming received the order, he looked around and quietly retreated.
Just when Xiao Yu was arranging everything, Zhong Roulan was not idle, after the funeral, Zhong Roulan hurried to the other garden, at this moment the atmosphere in the other garden was obviously very tense, Murong Changfeng had secretly sneaked into Chencheng for many days, and now he was standing by Zhong Roulan's side.
"County Lord, is Niangniang still refusing?" Murong Changfeng asked.
Zhong Roulan took a sip of tea, frowned and said, "Second sister always has some unrealistic ideas, her grief and anger have affected the current situation, how is Nangang?" ”
"Lord Yu, Nangang has been taken, the Governor of Nangang has been loyal to us, and General Zhongqian has led his troops to land." Speaking of this, Murong Changfeng looked a little excited.
"Well, as soon as the ugly time comes, immediately set off to take the Xuanwu Gate, control the inner city, and kill those who dare to resist," Zhong Roulan gave the final order, "Tell him that he can do it, I want to live!" ”
Murong Changfeng was stunned for a moment, then licked his lips greedily, and said, "Don't worry, the county lord can't run away!" ”
The night is getting thicker and thicker, and all the markets in Chencheng are closed early because of the national funeral, whether it is the inner city or the outer city, it is surprisingly quiet, and the Jincheng County Royal Mansion is as quiet as usual, but there is a faint light in the inner house today.
"Madam, let's go, outside the tunnel is the Yu Mansion, and the Yu Guild will arrange for us to go out from the Qinglong Gate." Gu Qingfeng was dressed in soft armor and whispered.
"I don't know what's going on over there with Shichiro, Tatsujo is too quiet today." Cang Shu Haoyue said worriedly.
"Yes! It's too quiet, Madame can't wait any longer, it's important to get out of the city quickly. Gu Qingfeng urged.
"Okay, let's go!"
However, with a stick of incense, Cangshu Haoyue and his party arrived at the Qinglong Gate, and the people who answered quickly opened the Qinglong Gate, and not long after, their figures disappeared into the night, but what they didn't know was that they were about to usher in the darkest moment of Zhengxi Mansion.
Before the ugly time, Cangshu Haoyue and others went out of Chencheng smoothly, and when they passed through Yuqing Town, Cangshu Haoyue ordered to be repaired.
Gu Qingfeng hugged Meng Wanshu, who was already asleep, and sent her to Cangshu Haoyue's car, but the uneasy mood in her heart became heavier and heavier, it stands to reason that she had escaped, and her mood should be relaxed, could it be that Meng Yan and the others had an accident in the city?
I saw Meng Huan come over with a sad face and said, "Sister-in-law, let's go, I always feel that something is not right, it is very uncomfortable!" ”
Gu Qingfeng also nodded in agreement, Cang Shu Haoyue saw that both of them refused to stay, and was about to decide to move forward when they came unexpectedly, when the lights suddenly brightened all around, and a group of black-clothed people flashed out of the darkness to surround them.
Cang Shu Haoyue and the others didn't have time to react, and the dense bows and arrows shot at them, Meng Huan was immediately hit by an arrow in the chest and fell on the frame, and shouted loudly before he passed out: "Bai Zewei!" Rush to kill! Escort the lady away! ”
Gu Qingfeng was decisive, and immediately used the "star-studded" technique to cover the car driver, and then quickly turned the horse and rushed up, the rest of Bai Zewei couldn't control the attack he was subjected to, and all moved closer to the car, but with a cup of tea, Bai Zewei had little left under the bow and arrow of many rounds, and there were only Cangshu Haoyue's mother and daughter, the unconscious Meng Huan and the driving Gu Qingfeng on the frame, and only Cangshu Haoyue's personal maid remained.
Finally broke out of the encirclement, Gu Qingfeng didn't dare to delay, and couldn't care about the things behind him at all, until a voice came from the car, "Qingfeng, stop for a while." ”
This is Cangshu Haoyue's voice, but there is helplessness in this voice, Gu Qingfeng immediately became vigilant, and was about to perform the exercises, when another voice came out: "Miss Qingfeng, you'd better not use force, Madame's life is in my hands." ”
Gu Qingfeng had a bad heart, and after picking up the curtain with his sword, he saw that the maid was holding a dagger on Cang Shu Haoyue's neck, and the dagger in the other hand was hanging in Meng Wanshu's heart.
Seeing this scene, Gu Qingfeng relaxed, and the uneasiness along the way finally came to fruition, Gu Qingfeng smiled bitterly, shook his head, and said, "Who are you?" Luantai? Nanya? ”
"Qingfeng girl, you are also a hard-working person, Meng Yan made the thousand-year-old Gu clan what it is today, why do you have to work for him?" The maid persuaded with good intentions.
"Do you want me to betray the prince? Tell me about your conditions. Gu Qingfeng said lightly.
"The girl is really an understanding person, as long as you are willing, I can help you restore the glory of the Gu family, how about it?"
"Hahaha·····! Gu Qingfeng laughed loudly, laughing until his stomach hurt, and laughing until he couldn't straighten his waist.
The maid was stunned, she didn't know what was funny about this, and finally when Gu Qingfeng stopped laughing, Gu Qingfeng's expression suddenly turned cold, and said: "The glory of the Gu family is accumulated by the Gu family for thousands of years, what are you!" ”
"Gu Qingfeng, don't be ignorant! I've killed Cang Shu Haoyue and Meng Wanshu now, do you think Meng Yan will believe you?! The maid yelled hysterically.
Gu Qingfeng didn't speak, stared at the maid, and saw that the maid was hairy, and suddenly Gu Qingfeng opened his mouth and said word by word: "You are from Luantai, but your allegiance is to Tingtao Xuan, right?" ”
Cold sweat began to break out on the maid's forehead, and the fear of being exposed was always uncomfortable, and at this time, Cang Shu Haoyue, who had not spoken, said with a smile: "Ping'er, let me guess, are you planning to kidnap me to the East China Sea, and then use our mother and daughter to force the prince to cooperate with the East China Sea?" ”
"Madame is really smart, but I'm sorry, you all guessed my identity, I don't plan to keep you, Miss's role is more valuable than you two smart people." Ping'er said proudly.
"You stayed with Su Qing when the prince was injured for the first time, you were only thirteen years old at that time, and the only person who can train a person so ruthlessly from an early age is Donghai Tingtaoxuan, are you from the Central Plains or from the East China Sea?" Cang Shu Haoyue actually talked about Shi Ran.
"I'm naturally from the East China Sea, what does Madame mean by asking?" Ping'er was a little strange.
"It's nothing, I'll ask, if you're from the Central Plains, I'll feel sad, but there's nothing wrong with you being from the East China Sea, the East China Sea people have always been shameless, tyrannical, and no different from animals." Although Cang Shu Haoyue said it easily, it was a word of heart.
"You are still arrogant when you are dying!" Ping'er was furious.
"How sad I am! The dead soldier that Sanniang had managed to cultivate with great difficulty was actually from the East China Sea," Cang Shu Haoyue said as she diverted Ping'er's attention and prepared to get out.
"What is Zhong Roulan! It's just a pawn in our Great East China Sea! Ping'er said proudly.
At this time, Cang Shu Haoyue suddenly turned around and unloaded the dagger pointing at Meng Wanshu, and quickly picked up Meng Wanshu and rushed to Gu Qingfeng, but this action angered Ping'er, and even underestimated the killer cultivated by Tingtao Pavilion, Ping'er quickly reacted and plunged the dagger into Cang Shu Haoyue's heart.
Cang Shu Haoyue threw Meng Wanshu to Gu Qingfeng in pain, and then turned around and pounced on Ping'er, scuffling with her, but the pain in her heart made her unable to exert her strength, and she collapsed beside Ping'er in a few clicks.
Ping'er saw that Cangshu Haoyue had fallen, and directly pounced on Gu Qingfeng, Gu Qingfeng could only parry with the child in his arms, Ping'er grabbed Gu Qingfeng's flaw and stabbed Meng Wanshu with a dagger, Gu Qingfeng didn't have time to dodge, so he had to expose his back, saying that it was too late, and that was fast, a sharp sword pierced Ping'er's chest.
Gu Qingfeng didn't wait for the dagger to come down, and when he looked back, he saw Meng Huan shaking his body and standing behind Ping'er.
"Miss Breeze, are you alright?" Meng Huan asked stubbornly.
Gu Qingfeng shook his head, didn't care about Meng Huan, who was paralyzed on the car, and hurriedly went to see Cangshu Haoyue, Cangshu Haoyue had already sat up, and saw Gu Qingfeng coming in with the child safe and sound, and said with a smile: "Qingfeng, thank you very much." ”
"Madame, how are you? Can it still hold up? Gu Qingfeng saw that Cang Shu Haoyue's chest was already soaked with blood.
Cang Shu Haoyue said with a miserable smile: "I can't do it, you quickly take Wanshu and Shiyi Lang away, keep going north, don't look back." ”
"Sister-in-law! You hold on! Meng Huan outside shouted with a crying voice.
At this time, the voice of the chasing soldiers behind came, getting closer and closer, and I saw Cangshu Haoyue smiling happily at Gu Qingfeng: "Qingfeng, I can't do it, you listen to me, I entrust you with three things, first, don't blame Su Qing, this girl can't think of meeting to commit suicide; Second, don't tell my father about my death; I will entrust the third prince and the child to you, don't be estranged from Qilang just because you are the daughter of the Gu family. ”
Gu Qingfeng was already crying at the moment, she could only keep shaking her head, Cang Shu Haoyue wanted to reach out to touch Gu Qingfeng, but her body had no strength, she already felt that her body was getting colder and colder, and she shouted with all her might: "Eleven Lang!" Walk! ”
Meng Huan climbed into the car and stabbed the horse in the buttocks, causing the horse to run forward in pain.
Cang Shu Haoyue heard the voice of the pursuers getting closer and closer, and looked at Meng Wanshu, who couldn't stop crying in Gu Qingfeng's arms, and comforted: "Shu'er, listen to your aunt's words carefully, and my mother will come over in a while." ”
After speaking, Cangshu Haoyue gave Gu Qingfeng one last smile, pushed open the back window and climbed out, it was too late for Gu Qingfeng to reach out and grab it.
Gu Qingfeng could only watch as Cang Shu Haoyue's figure became smaller and smaller until it disappeared·····
