Chapter 108: It's Good You're Alive
Twenty miles outside the city, the figure on the old locust tree was crowded, Shen Xuzhi looked in the direction he came from, his brows furrowed, knowing that he could see a small group of people clearly, the figure of the big head was very familiar, his brows were also stretched, he whistled under the tree, and then flew down the branch with a step.
Led the three of them forward to greet the expedient two, "Princess!"
Expedient glanced at the guards who were ambushed in the depths of the forest, she could see only a handful, and after making eye contact with Shen Xuzhi, she followed her to the camp tent in the forest.
As soon as they entered, several iron-clad and armored old generals were discussing something in front of the sand table, and when they saw Shen Xuzhi and them coming in, their eyes swept over several people, and finally fell on Expediency, several people glanced at each other, and their emotions were inexplicably excited, "Like, it's really like!"
Several people squatted on the ground with fists clenched in front of the expediency, and said sharply, "Wait for the princess!"
Expedient looked at a few ministers, the faces were not too unfamiliar, in the previous life, they received a lot of teachings when they led the troops to fight, several of them were exiled and could not enter Beijing, they were the old ministers of the Four Emperors' Uncle Yongwang, the reason for keeping them was very simple, no one would like an emperor who liked to kill, and the contribution of several old ministers to the capital was also visible to everyone, and the people's hearts pointed out, and Quan Duo couldn't stop it!
"A few of them, please get up, the juniors can't stand it!" With expediency, several old ministers got up and expressed their determination, "Princess, we are all the old subordinates of the prince, and we have been looking for you for so many years, but I didn't expect you to be in the palace!"
"Thank you uncles for doing your best, now that the emperor is seriously injured and bedridden, and the overall situation is controlled by Quan Wenjin, it is expedient to ask all uncles to help me rescue my father and avenge my father!" Expedient said as he crouched down and saluted.
Several ministers immediately helped her up, and their faces were solemn: "Princess, how can you worship me, we are here to stimulate the prince, who has been dormant for so many years, and finally waited for this day, princess, just give your orders!"
Quan Yi looked at the map behind them through a few people and muttered, "Besiege the city!"
Hou Mansion, when Quan Wenjin arrived, there was nothing but corpses all over the ground and You Xin who was pierced by crossbow arrows, blood flowed all over the courtyard, the air was filled with a strong smell of blood, and there were many vultures hovering above their heads thinking that they were watching.
The guards searching the house rushed out and shouted, "Your Highness, there is a secret passage here!"
Quan Wenjin rushed into the house as if he had found a life-saving straw, the secret passage was behind the hanging painting, hidden and unsearchable, if he was not in a hurry to escape, the house was in a mess, I am afraid that he would not be able to find it.
"Your Highness, do you want to chase it?" The guard next to him asked aloud, looking like he was ready to call at any time.
Quan Wenjin interrupted him too thin, shook his head, poisoning this matter is already risky, now You Xin is dead, he has no one to negotiate, the girl who is expedient holds the secret decree and the token of mobilizing the two armies, he can't afford to take this risk, and wait for the emperor to die, and it is the safest to ascend smoothly.
At that time, the name of the Governor and Ji Fu Assassin was firmly seated, and he had also ascended to the Great Unification, and Expedient and Ji Fu would kill if they wanted to, he glared at the secret path fiercely, and said: "Seal the secret passage, send people to garrison here, in case the thieves come back, and notify the forbidden army to close the city, prohibiting anyone from entering or leaving!"
"Understood!"
The emperor temporarily wrapped his heart, but the imperial doctor said that his time was short, it was a matter of the past two days, and the queen, who had always been gentle and virtuous, and was jealous of the concubines in the harem, was a little happy after the imperial capital fell ill.
His Majesty never loved her, she knew, but he was forced to marry him in the future, and he didn't love the expedient concubine, otherwise the original bowl of medicine emperor would not let her find a way to send it, in front of the throne, he only loved power, and her insistence for so many years was suddenly relieved at the moment of his life, because soon after, she was the queen mother of Dadu, the most noble woman.
At hand, the maid handed over a bowl of soup and medicine, and reminded with low eyebrows: "Niangniang, the medicine is here!"
The queen glanced at the medicine bowl, reached out and took the spoon and scooped it a few times to the emperor's mouth, the emperor was unconscious, and the person's groggy mouth could not be opened, and all the medicine fed in it flowed out of the corner of the mouth.
The queen angrily knocked over the medicine bowl, and the maids and maids next to her were so frightened that they all knelt down to ask for guilt, and the queen straightened her mind, recovered her thoughts, and raised her hand to beckon them to go down.
After the person left, she patted the wrinkles on her clothes and got up, lowered her eyes and looked at the sallow face in front of her, closed her eyes tightly, no
A man with a hint of breath, she has begged for his love all her life, but now everything is not important, her son is about to become a monarch.
She bent down and grabbed the emperor's clothes, her eyes were red and filled with tears: "Quan Duo, would you have expected that you would have such a day, everything was forced by you, I will soon become the queen mother, above ten million people hahahahaha, are you happy to be reunited with that ***?"
The emperor's face was red by her, and even the cough was extremely weak, she looked at the person in front of her ridiculously, and the emperor slammed it down and made a muffled sound, stretched out his hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of his eyes, and shouted outside the door: "Your Majesty's medicine has been spilled, boil another bowl!"
After speaking, she turned around and left, leaving the concubine outside the door and kneeling outside the hall to guard, already weak, at this moment her son was locked in the prison and worried, as if the whole person was a lot weaker.
Seeing the queen come out, he immediately climbed a few steps forward, hugged the queen's calf and begged: "Niangniang, please intercede with His Royal Highness the Prince, Pei'er has no offense, please forgive him!"
The queen was condescending, lowered her eyes and looked at her, with a burst of ridicule in her eyes, slowly squatted down, hooked the lower jaw of the concubine, and looked at her with tears in her eyes, "This palace thinks that you are here to see the emperor, but I don't want to intercede for your son. You're ruthless. However, how can you worry about your children, pretend to be gentle and generous on weekdays, and completely forget the expediency of being arrested when it comes to life and death, hahahaha!"
The queen smiled and got up, still squinting at her, "How do you explain to your good sister, Ning Rong! Don't worry, when the crown prince ascends the throne, the palace will find a good place for you and your son, let's go!"
The hand of the concubine was thrown away, and the queen and the others left arrogantly, leaving only the concubine lying on the ground with blood and tears in despair.
When night fell, on the branches of the moon, from time to time there were birds whistling past this palace, and Quan Wenju pushed open the door of the dormitory, "Queen Mother, Jin'er is back!" Quan Wenshu led people into the palace, the queen was closing her eyes to recuperate, and when she heard this, she opened her eyes, and her eyes were a little excited.
"Queen Mother!" Quan Wenjin clenched his fists, but the queen couldn't see any joy on his face, not only was she a little worried, but asked, "What's the matter, why is my son so worried?"
Quan Wenjin frowned, a little didn't know how to reply to her, but Quan Wenshu took a step ahead of her and said, "Queen Mother, Expedient escaped, and You Xin died!"
"What, let this little girl escape! It seems that Ji Fu has left a way back for her, and we still take a step!" The queen waved her sleeves, a little indignant.
"Mother don't worry, Erchen has sent someone to guard against it, as long as she appears near the capital, she will be caught in the net, we should consider another big matter now!" Quan Wenjin smiled suddenly, raised his eyebrows, and the ambition in his eyes was not concealed at all.
The moon is gradually sinking in the west, there is a small group of people hidden in the corner of the wall outside the west city, the city tower here is small, the garrison is relaxed, several people ride horses to the city tower, the attention on the city tower shouted, "Who is the next person!"
"My lord, we are businessmen who have entered Beijing, so I don't know what's wrong!"
Through the candlelight, he saw the figure under the city tower, and waved his hand impatiently: "Now that the thieves are fleeing, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has ordered that the city gate be blocked and not allowed to enter or exit, you wait to turn around quickly, and go back and forth from where!"
"What if I don't?" The man asked in a gloomy voice.
"What?" Before the guards of the city tower had time to ask clearly, they were blocked by an arrow, and they could no longer speak, and the arrows of the people under the city tower flew through, and they quickly solved the guards on the city tower, and the hidden guards downstairs broke through the city gate, and the large army behind them also followed.
Ji Fu was helped into the prison, and when Quan Pei saw that he was injured, he was furious, and raised his foot and kicked the jailer who helped him in, "What a big dog!"
The guard who was kicked down was angry, afraid that I would come forward to confront Quan Pei, but was pulled by the partner next to him: "Hey, he is the Second Highness, forget it!"
The guard who was stopped sneered and looked at Quan Pei mockingly, "Hmph, what Second Highness, it will soon be the soul of the prince's sword, and he is still so arrogant!"
"Ahh Before he could finish his sentence, a scream came from outside the door, and the two looked at each other, "What's the matter? Go check it out."
The two went out
Later, I saw that the other jailers were knocked to the ground, holding their heads in their hands, and just as they were about to draw their knives, a chill came from their necks.
Zhao Zi and the deputy general controlled the two, and in the cell, Quan Pei helped Ji Fu out, Zhao Zi couldn't help but worry when he saw that his injuries were not light: "What's the matter? Why did it hurt like this?"
Ji Fu shook his head, "It's okay, are they here, they have entered the city, all the whistles have been replaced by our people, just waiting to enter the palace!"
"You want to rebel!" The kicked guard shouted, but the next moment he was directly wiped on the neck.
The rest of the people were a little frightened by the scene in front of them, and closed their eyes and did not dare to look at the frightened eyes.
Ji Fu glanced at the people in the prison, "Just let people watch them, a group of guys who are afraid of death can't rush to the custody of the forbidden army, let's go and join the expedient!"
"Do you move?" Zhao Zi walked over to help him, and Ji Fu laughed at himself, "You can't die from this injury."
It was a whip for so many years in the field, and every time he could come back from the ghost gate, this injury was naturally not in his eyes.
Convenience rode his horse and waited anxiously at the street corner not far outside the Criminal Department, "Princess, it's the master!" Bai Manqing exclaimed in surprise, pointing to several figures who came out of the criminal department.
Quan Yi was overjoyed, and when he looked at it by the moonlight, he saw Ji Fu who was being carried out, his eyes were stunned, he turned over and dismounted and galloped in the direction of Ji Fu.
When he got close, he didn't dare to step forward to hug him, just looked at the blood stains on his body and his eyes were red, Zhao Zi and the others took the first step and handed over the space to him, Bai Manqing dismounted and greeted him: "General Zhao!"
"What about Shen Xu's people?" Zhao Zi looked around and asked in a low voice.
"He's sneaked into the palace with someone, we need to do it as soon as possible."
Zhao Zi nodded and looked at Quan Pei, "Your Highness, please change into combat armor together, we should enter the palace."
Ji Fu stretched out his hand and stopped the person into his arms, and comforted him softly, "I'm fine, if you want to cry, you have to wait until the plan is successful."
Expedient leaned on his shoulder, shrugged his shoulders and refused to speak, Ji Fu reached out to support her head. "It's good you're alive!"
