Chapter 292: Dreams
The rain of arrows swept in like locusts, carrying the flickering flames to the rooftop corridors and door panels, and the wooden structure soon burst into flames, illuminating the night with the sound of panic and desperate screams.
He Xiaoqiao stood at the door stunned, the rockets kept falling beside her, whether it was above her head or under her feet, but she couldn't move half a step, she could only be forced to stand in place and watch all this. It was as if his throat was blocked by cotton, and he couldn't make a sound.
"Princess, there are subordinates here in the way, you leave quickly!" Leng Qianshan, who was standing in front of her, was covered in blood, the long sword in his hand danced impermeable, and he turned around and shouted at her, "Hurry up!" ”
Someone slashed him in the shoulder, the wound turned out hideously, and countless dark red blood spilled on the ground with a movement.
He Xiaoqiao's mind was in chaos, and it was not easy to find his voice back, "This ...... What the hell is going on? ”
No, no! None of this is true! She couldn't be here, she ...... How did it end up here? What was she doing before? Why is she completely unimpressed?
"Princess, let's go!"
Leng Qianshan roared again, and the blood on his body splattered onto her face along with the other secret guards.
He Xiaoqiao's eyes reflected the firelight, and he looked down at his hands that were dyed scarlet, fear crawled like vines in his heart, "What about Jiang Fenghao?" Where is he? And children...... What about my child? ”
As she spoke, she seemed to finally remember what she had to do, and rushed into the nursery like crazy.
It's just a short stretch of road, but it's like there's no end, and you can't see where the exit is.
The faces of the people around her passed by her like ghosts, and when she stumbled outside the nursery, she realized that it was surrounded by flames. Smoke blurred her vision, and from the lonely crib in the middle of the fire came the cries of her twin brothers, each weaker and weaker.
Without thinking about it, he was about to rush forward, but he was tripped by an unknown object under his feet, He Xiaoqiao was startled, and before he could react, the whole person had already fallen to the ground.
Just as she struggled to get up, the beam in the center of the room finally broke off from the scorching heat, and the half-log with orange flames fell straight down and slammed into the crib—
"No—"
He Xiaoqiao screamed, opened his eyes abruptly and sat up from the bed, looking panicked and looking left and right, "My child! My baby! What about my child? Mine, my ......"
"Miss, Miss, wake up!" Cai Lian was taken aback, and hurriedly stepped forward to press her shoulder, and said softly, "It's okay, it's okay, the two little masters are fine, it's okay!" ”
"Are you alright?" He Xiaoqiao's face was flushed and he looked in a trance, turned his head to look at her for a while before he gradually came to his senses, and then leaned back against the head of the bed with all his strength, "Cailian?" I...... What's going on? ”
"Just now, the young lady was stunned, and kept shouting that the cold guards and slaves and others should run quickly, and said that they wanted to find the prince and the two young masters. No matter how much the slave screams, you can't wake up, but it scares a few of us to death. Cai Lian took a handkerchief and wiped the cold sweat off her forehead, while carefully observing her face, "Miss, don't be afraid, the slave maid has asked Suo'er to find a doctor to prescribe a calming medicinal soup, you can drink some later, and it will be better soon." ”
Nightmare......
He Xiaoqiao looked out the door. It was already completely dark, and the house was lit up, and it was dark.
There was no rain of arrows, no fires, no unwillingness screams before death, and no stench of scorched things.
I could vaguely hear the sound of firecrackers outside, as well as the sound of deliberately lightening my steps. Cailian and Suo'er were still in the house—all of this was explaining what had just happened, but it was just a scene in her dream.
It turned out to be just a nightmare...... Thankfully, it was just a nightmare.
He Xiaoqiao breathed a sigh of relief, and his back was almost soaked with cold sweat. Although she knew it was a dream, the cone of losing everything in the dream was still there, and for a while, she couldn't get her emotions back.
Strange, good-looking, how can you suddenly have nightmares? Not to mention that today is still the first day of the Lunar New Year, judging from the happy situation of her family, even if it is a dream, it should be a beautiful dream.
Is it a sign that something will not come true?
The more I thought about it, the more restless I felt, the situation of the log falling and smashing the crib in the dream was still vivid, and He Xiaoqiao couldn't sit still at all. Reluctantly, he drank some hot water with Cailian's hand, put on his robe and hurriedly got out of bed and was about to run out.
As a result, I don't know if she was not fully awake, the moment she stood up, she only felt that the sky was spinning in front of her, if it weren't for Cailian's eyes and quick hands to grab her, it is estimated that she would have fallen to the ground at this time.
"Miss!"
"I'm fine." He Xiaoqiao shook his head, reached out and pressed his eyebrows, forcing himself to stay awake.
Ah Fu, who ran over as soon as he heard the scream, shook his furry head, stepped forward and rubbed her waist, and let out a low snoring sound in his throat, sounding as if he was comforting her.
He Xiaoqiao reached out and patted it twice on the head, pulled the fox fur tied to his body, and walked towards the door.
Ah Fu naturally followed suit.
Cai Lian took two steps forward to open the door, and then turned back to He Xiaoqiao, "Miss, it's cold outside, you walk slowly." ”
As soon as the words fell, only a buzz was heard, and a broken feathered arrow fell down the doorway, the arrow pointing downward, and the flame attached to it had not yet been extinguished.
He Xiaoqiao chuckled in her heart, and before she could react, a familiar figure holding a long sword had already fallen in front of her.
"Princess, let's go!"
……………………
"Uncle Seventeen, are you sure this can really work?"
The lights in the imperial study were bright, and Jiang Mufeng, who was dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe, stood in front of the huge sand table with his hands behind his back, his eyes fell on the flag symbolizing the people of the four countries, and his brows were furrowed.
"If you don't believe in this king, the emperor can change his own way." Jiang Fenghao leaned lazily on the back of the chair, his slender fingers curled, and his finger bones tapped the armrest to make a regular percussion sound, looking a little absent-minded.
Somehow, I've been a little restless today, and I always feel as if something is going to happen—even if he was out on an expedition before, and he was almost killed by an enemy attack.
But he just couldn't figure out what was the source of his panic.
"Ghosts."
"Lord Wang." A ghost dressed in white with a sword hanging from his waist came out.
Jiang Fenghao raised his eyes slightly, and said in a deep voice, "Go back to the house immediately, and report any situation as soon as possible." ”
With him in charge in the palace, no matter how bad the situation is, it will only be a lose-lose situation, but if someone takes this opportunity to make a move on He Xiaoqiao, he will not have time to save her at all, so it is right to take more precautions.
The ghost naturally understood his worries, took the waist card that Jiang Fenghao had thrown over, and galloped away without delay.
Jiang Fenghao watched him leave, but he still couldn't relax in his heart.
He is now the standard 'being in Cao Ying's heart is in Han', if he hadn't calculated it accurately, there would definitely be a mouse who didn't know whether he was alive or dead tonight, he would have lifted the sand table and gone home to accompany his wife and children, where would he still need to nest here and blow the air conditioner alone - of course, this is what he thinks, looking at the whole Dayan, there are really few people who dare to blow the air conditioner for him.
Jiang Mufeng had no objection to Jiang Fenghao's approach, after all, his uncle left the old and young in the family to help him catch thieves and protect the country, in order to prevent the enemy from using his aunt and cousin as hostages to threaten his uncle to commit a rebellion, it was really necessary to send more people to protect them - if he really didn't have any extra troops on hand now, he would want to send an army to surround the Changning Palace.
At this time, he just transferred away the ghost and a few secret guards, which was enough to see his uncle's attention to him-huh, what happened when he was suddenly so moved?
Jiang Fenghao didn't have time to pay attention to what his nephew was thinking, what he was thinking about was how to deal with internal and external troubles in the shortest possible time, and then go home as soon as possible to live a quiet life.
I finally was able to spend the New Year alone with my daughter-in-law, and I haven't had time to celebrate yet. just met Xiyuan, a group of idiots, self-righteously tangled up with the neighbors, and wanted to come again, disgusting Dayan. In addition, when the prime minister's uncle was too mentally ill, he always loved to come out and make trouble, and it was also annoying to have a sense of existence - thinking that he had occupied a mineral vein, opened dozens of shops, and secretly raised tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, he could turn into a local tyrant, and he actually whimsically wanted to kill his nephew Zhanshan as the king in front of him - he was sick like this, and he didn't need to take medicine, just push the humane destruction in the furnace!
It's so easy for you to plot a usurpation!
Could the death have been more obvious? Even if you want to keep Shangguan Yun, you can find an appropriate time - the prime minister of the court during the Chinese New Year was bedridden with illness, and refused any imperial doctor's diagnosis and treatment, and even threatened to 'see no human face' - anyone can see that there is a cat in it, okay!
Fortunately, he is also a person who is used to seeing big storms, although the incident happened a little suddenly, but it is not in a hurry, since Shangguan Xinghe wants to play, then he will play with him to the end, so as not to worry about the chair that does not belong to him.
As for external troubles, although they are all small countries except for the Western Yuan, when they are united, they become a headache - nearly a million soldiers and horses, and only fools will go to meet them head-on.
As the saying goes, the soldiers are in danger. Therefore, he used a trick of drawing wages from the bottom of the kettle, first leaving the main force to guard the frontier and delay time, and the remaining soldiers and horses were divided into three groups, led by elite troops to infiltrate the other three small countries that were weak in domestic air defense due to the request of the Western Yuan, and then captured the imperial city garrison with lightning speed, taking away the main control, so as to coerce the soldiers of the three countries to withdraw and surrender.
As for the Xiyuan side, it was led by Hu Qing, and the tiger talisman mobilized the people and horses contributed by Hu Yanxu as the main force to take the palace directly, and also controlled the original Han king Hu Yanshou, and ordered to eliminate the power and eyeline of the two princes in the Western Yuan in his name, so as to eliminate all possibilities for them to escape back to the Western Yuan.
If it weren't for Shangguan Xinghe's desperate death, forcing him to sit in the capital, he would have gone out with the army at this time and personally went to the battlefield to kill him - but it doesn't matter, there are Bai Shou and Hu Qing in the people, plus Jiang Sheng, the general of Zhaowu stationed on the frontier, is also a brave and resourceful figure, and there are countless warriors under his command - I believe that they will definitely be able to beat the group of fools back to their hometown again.
Now his task is to personally grab Shangguan Xinghe who dares to calculate him and beat him to death, and then take it home to kick his daughter-in-law a few times to get angry, and then give him a dungeon for a few days, and finally decisively behead him to show the public - gameover!
"Emperor Qi, prince, the rebels have arrived outside the Shenwu Gate." The deputy commander of the forbidden army, who was in armor all over, hurriedly came to report, and his voice was agitated that could not be concealed.
It's finally here.
Jiang Fenghao sneered and sat up straight slowly.
Gave up the Chinese New Year's Eve covered by fireworks and chose to start on the first day of the new year, and sure enough, I wanted to surprise - unfortunately, I was still a little unbreathable.
If they come back after the fourth year of junior high school, maybe they will be a little slack, now? Hehe!
Do a good job of being a turtle in the urn!
