Chapter 234: Empress Cao is also offline

After Gu Tingye's gang set fire to the palace, they did not go back as soon as possible, but stayed in the palace.

Of course, Gu Tingye's original intention was to stay in the palace, and any unexpected situations could be discovered in time.

So when Gu Tingye and the others finished the work of sowing discord, they found a place to hide in the harem.

But the harem is the main battlefield after all, and as the situation becomes more and more chaotic in the later period, Gu Tingye and the others can meet people from time to time, followed by a round of fighting.

Over time, Gu Tingye and the others moved to the former dynasty, and by chance they bumped into Empress Cao and her party.

At first, neither side recognized each other, so after the encounter, they even fought.

In the end, someone recognized Gu Tingye, and after calling out his name, he shouted that he was the one who escorted Queen Cao, and the two sides stopped.

After stopping at this, Gu Tingye took a closer look and recognized Empress Cao, Zhao Zonghan, Cao Jingxiu, Zeng Chaosheng and others on the opposite side, and most of the other escorts were familiar faces of the Praetorian Guard.

When even said: "Wechen is late to save the car, and I ask the queen mother and the little prince to forgive their sins."

Faced with Gu Tingye's arrival, Empress Cao was really not too happy, after all, it was too strange for Gu Tingye to appear here.

According to Cao Jingxiu, Gu Tingye should have made an appointment with Li Hao and left Bianjing City together, so the two should be together.

And Zhao Zhen also explained that the talisman was in Li Hao's hands, and the one who dispatched troops and horses to attack the city was Li Hao nine times out of ten.

In this case, Gu Tingye should have helped Li Hao lead the army, how could he suddenly appear here.

If you want to say that the imperial city was captured by Li Hao, then Gu Tingye should have more soldiers and horses around him, not just such a few people.

This kind of weirdness made Empress Cao wary, and immediately tried to say, "Aren't you already out of the city, how could you suddenly appear in the palace.

In addition, I just heard a loud noise outside the palace, as if someone was attacking the city, do you know what the situation is?"

Gu Tingye paused for a moment, thought quickly, and then replied, "That's true, after Li Hao learned the news of Zhao Zongquan's rebellion, he took the talisman to the camp in the western suburbs and ordered soldiers and horses, and wanted to enter the palace to quell the rebellion.

Now Li Hao is leading the counterinsurgency army to fight with the main force of the rebels at the Suzaku Gate, and he thinks that he will soon be able to break through the rebels' defenses.

I'm not familiar with the situation in the palace, so Li Hao asked me to take advantage of the attention of the rebels to lead some people to climb over the city wall."

Listening to Gu Tingye's words, Empress Cao really didn't tell what was wrong, but in her heart, Empress Cao still had some doubts about Gu Tingye.

Then he said, "I see, then from which side of the palace gate did you enter, we need to leave quickly.

Now that Zhao Zongquan has sent people to chase after us, it is the leader of Shen Congxing, so we must leave early, otherwise we will be in trouble once we are entangled."

Gu Tingye replied: "We came in from Donghua Gate, and we didn't see anyone guarding it at that time, it is estimated that Zhao Zongquan's people have all rushed into the palace, or we will rush over there now."

As soon as she heard this, Empress Cao replied, "Since this is the case, then let's hurry up and leave, so as not to be dragged by Shen Congxing." ….

As he was talking, he heard a large number of footsteps behind him, obviously Shen Congxing's pursuers.

So Gu Tingye suddenly mentioned, "Queen Mother, you leave now, let's stay and block it, and buy you some time."

When Empress Cao heard this, she deliberately persuaded her: "Let's leave together, how can I let you be in danger."

Gu Tingye replied, "For Da Song, your safety is more important, hurry up and leave, leave it to us here."

Here, when Empress Cao wanted to speak again, Cao Jingxiu directly stepped forward to pull Empress Cao up and leave.

However, before leaving, Zeng Chaosheng said, "It's good for you to block it a little, and when we go away, if we can't do anything, we can avoid it."

Regarding Zeng Chaosheng's words, Gu Tingye nodded and agreed, and then let them

Hurry away, and take someone in the opposite direction to meet him.

After Empress Cao and her party walked away, the people around Gu Tingye asked, "We really want to help Empress Cao block people, don't we mean to solve Empress Cao's problem, why didn't you let us do it just now."

After hearing this, Gu Tingye replied, "Empress Cao can die, but she must not die in our hands, don't commit this kind of taboo.

It's better to leave him to Zhao Zongquan, but if Zhao Zonghan has a chance, he can be saved."

After finishing speaking, he paused for a moment before he said, "Don't really work hard when you go to Shen Congxing, after you get in touch, you can show him the way, and then we can withdraw, you know?"

Hearing Gu Tingye's words, others naturally knew what Gu Tingye meant.

Gu Tingye was not on the stage in the next performance, after all, there were too many people who knew Gu Tingye, so as not to arouse Shen Congxing's suspicions.

And the others also performed a perfect performance, and after meeting with Shen Congxing, they showed the essence of collapse at one touch.

barely wasted Shen Congxing's time, and gave them a clear indication of the direction in which Empress Cao had left just now.

Shen Congxing was now full of wanting to catch Empress Cao, and naturally he didn't have the heart to clear up these fleeing people, so he left quickly.

As soon as Shen Congxing left, all the people who had been dispersed came back, and under the leadership of Gu Tingye, they followed from a distance.

This one followed directly to the vicinity of Xuande Gate, and it was obvious that Empress Cao did not listen to Gu Tingye's words and rushed directly to Donghua Gate.

For this reason, Cao Jingxiu and Zeng Chaosheng both had questions, and finally Cao Jingxiu asked: "Queen Mother, if we want to go to Donghua Gate, shouldn't we go east, why do we still go south, isn't it almost to Xuande Gate?"

Empress Cao replied, "The timing of Gu Tingye's appearance is too coincidental, I don't believe him very much, Xuandemen is the closest after all, so let's go there first."

And if Gu Tingye is telling the truth, if there are really no defenders in Donghua Gate, then there will be no Xuande Gate, and it will be the same wherever you go out."

In the face of Empress Cao's explanation, Cao Jingxiu and Zeng Chaosheng did not object, after all, it is now this time, it is better to be cautious.

The group hurried slowly, but they were still in the big square in front of the right door, and were caught up by Shen Congxing and others.

In the face of Shen Congxing's fast speed, it was obvious that he was not stopped for too much time, so Empress Cao's suspicion of Gu Tingye in her heart was even greater. ….

But it's useless to think about it now, it's better to run for your life.

Zeng Chaosheng stood up this time, asked Empress Cao and Cao Jingxiu to continue running with Zhao Zonghan, and sent a few guards to protect him, while he took others to stop Shen Congxing.

This fight is the climax from the beginning, on the one hand, it is almost close to the city gate, and if you can't catch up, it will be over; On the other hand, they have to delay time and fight for the future of the family, so both sides are trying their best to kill each other.

In the distance, Gu Tingye and the others were staring closely at everything that happened in the dark.

So when they saw Empress Cao and them fleeing, someone asked Gu Tingye: "Look at this situation, it is really possible for the queen mother and them to run to Xuande Gate, and if they really let them escape from the palace, I am afraid it will be difficult to do it again."

And seeing that she didn't go to Donghua Gate, it seems that she is suspicious of us, if she is really allowed to escape, in case we know the truth of today's events, we people are afraid that we will not be able to die well."

Gu Tingye was also thinking about this question at this time, it was true that he couldn't let Empress Cao and them leave the palace, but he couldn't do it himself.

In that case, it is to leave a big handle to others, and if it is used by someone with a heart, I don't know how to die at that time.

Just as Gu Tingye hesitated, he suddenly heard a deafening sound of horses' hooves behind him.

At this time, the three groups of people in the bright and dark places were shocked, after all, their own family knew their own affairs, Zeng Chaosheng and Shen Congxing knew that there was no cavalry on their side, so they all thought that the other party's support was coming.

And Gu Tingye knew that he had it on his side, but he didn't know the situation of the people on both sides of the other side, so he couldn't help but be a little anxious

Urgent.

It was in this tense atmosphere that those cavalry finally appeared in everyone's sight.

Gu Tingye fixed his eyes and saw that these were all his own people, although he didn't understand what these people were doing here, he was relieved after all.

But the subsequent development of events was a little beyond Gu Tingye's expectations, only to see that the people who came faced the two warring sides in front of him, did not slow down at all, and rushed over directly.

The two warring sides are armed with melee weapons such as swords, and they are powerless in the face of cavalry charges, and both sides also think that this is the other party's rescue, so they will definitely slow down when they come, and they can't even kill their own people.

But what they didn't expect was that the other party was really stunned, and he didn't mean to slow down at all, so he suffered heavy casualties for a while.

He who was struck by the impact of his horse, and struck by the spear and sword of the cavalry, fell to the ground.

The rest of the horsemen who had escaped this fate, and while they were still in shock, the cavalry turned their horses around and rushed back.

After several times, there was basically no one who could stand among the people present.

At this time, when Gu Tingye saw that these cavalrymen began to dismount and mend their swords, and compared their faces one by one, he guessed the thoughts of these people.

I guess I don't know where I learned that Queen Cao and they came here, so they came to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, so they walked out with people.

Seeing someone appear, those guys who were looking for someone were shocked for a moment, until they found out that it was Gu Tingye, and they were relieved.

And asked, "Why are you here, and when did you come?" ….

Gu Tingye said, "When you came over, the sound was so loud, we heard it and came over to see what was going on.

By the way, looking at you like this, you kind of look like you're looking for someone, who are you looking for?"

Hearing Gu Tingye's words, the person who came paused a little and said, "Oh, just now we saw Shen Congxing leading people through Xihua Gate, chasing after a group of people in front of him, thinking that it was some important person, so we thought about coming over to have a look.

I'm not looking for it now, it's so important to see who it is."

Seeing that this guy didn't tell the truth and pretended to be a ghost, Gu Tingye thought about borrowing his hand to do things.

Then he answered, "Yes, there are still important people in this group, I just seem to have seen a few people break away from the team and go ahead alone, aren't those people?"

As soon as he heard Gu Tingye's words, this guy's eyes lit up, and he replied, "Maybe, then I'll take someone to catch up and have a look first."

After speaking, he beckoned a few people to chase after him, and the others stayed behind and accompanied Gu Tingye to deal with this place.

As soon as the others left, Gu Tingye led the cavalry left behind to clean up, after all, he had already shown his face here, so it was better not to leave a living.

During the inspection, when he saw Zeng Chaosheng's body, Gu Tingye asked him to be put out alone.

Although the positions of the two sides are different, Zeng Chaosheng died in battle after all, and the respect he deserves must be there, and the body will have to be handed over to the Duke of Wei in the future, so that he can be buried in peace.

After confirming that there was no one who cheated to death, Gu Tingye led everyone in the direction of Xuande Gate.

But when Gu Tingye arrived, there were already floating corpses outside the Xuande Gate, and the sharp-eyed Gu Tingye saw a person wearing palace maid's clothes lying on the bloody ground, as if he had just passed the legend of Empress Cao.

In addition, it seems that there are the corpses of the cavalry who have just come to chase and kill, and the corpses are also full of bows and arrows, this scene makes Gu Tingye's heart chuckle.

[Stable operation for many years, comparable to the old version of the book-chasing artifact, old bookworms are using.]

A few words, lest there be any conflict."

For Gu Tingye's words, these little soldiers naturally didn't dare to refute them, not to mention that there was a British duke in front of them.

After leaving these people behind, Gu Tingye walked up alone.

Li Hao and the British Duke had already discovered that someone was coming, and they originally planned to let people go and see it.

It turned out that everyone stopped, and only one person stepped forward, and he didn't care.

When Gu Tingye approached, he found that Zhao Zonghan's eyes were closed, so he gestured and asked, "Little Prince, what's wrong?"

Li Hao explained: "Just now, the little prince and the queen mother arrived in front of the Xuande Gate, and suddenly a cavalry came to kill them.

I couldn't react, and these rebellious ministers and thieves took advantage of the chaos to kill the queen mother and Cao Tiju, and the little prince was protected by Cao Tiju before he escaped.

But the little prince couldn't bear such a scene, so he suddenly fainted."

Hearing this, Gu Tingye was really speechless, he thought that this guy had a bad brain, but he didn't expect him to be so stupid.

Everyone wants Queen Cao to die, but they can't really do it in front of so many people.

After all, you can kill the queen of the dynasty directly in public, so bold, which emperor dares to use you in the future, you don't care about the status of this monarch and minister.

Moreover, the successor to the throne has to inherit the heir before he can inherit the unification, which means that the family and Queen Cao are still mother and son in name.

You act in secret, it's just that you don't let people know, such a blatant murderous mother-in-law, this is really a tiger, if you don't die, who will die.

From knowledge to strength
