Chapter Seventy-Nine: Quelling the Rebellion
The family members outside the hall all held sharp knives and forced Mo Yunxiao and Zhao Ji one after another.
Zhao seemed to be carrying a knife that was still dripping blood, and a terrifying light radiated from his eyes, like the suffocating cold light of a lone wolf staring at its prey.
"Zhao Ji, you can't escape today!" The corners of Zhao's mouth glanced slightly, and he couldn't help but let out a contemptuous smile: "I knew that it was so simple, and this king didn't have to bother." Hum! Zhao Ji, if you dare to come alone today, don't you remember the sentence that you can't do without the heart of defense? ”
At this time, dozens of family members had already surrounded Mo Yunxiao and Zhao Ji in the core, and they really couldn't splash water or oil.
Mo Yunxiao's heart was already hanging in his throat, although he had a good martial arts, it would be difficult to kill him, and it would be even more difficult to protect Zhao Ji.
Rao is that she has a quick wit, and her brain is also blank at this moment, and she is really at a loss.
Zhao Ji was not flustered, and raised his voice to Zhao Ru: "Thirteenth brother, I came to see you alone today, not because I don't know how to take precautions, but because I want to follow Guo Fenyang's precedent of riding into the Uighur camp alone, and hope that you can restrain your horse from the precipice and stop in time." If you could really listen to me, I would have never happened today, and you and I would still be siblings. But if you are obsessed, don't blame me for not remembering my father's kindness. ”
Zhao seemed to be stunned for a moment, then laughed, and everyone laughed together. "Zhao Ji, Zhao Ji, the matter has come to this, do you still want to put your son of heaven on the shelf? Hum! As long as I give an order, you and this thief and will be in a different place, why should I stop! Why should I stop! ”
In the end, his words almost roared, and although victory was in sight, his muscles spasmed, as if he was under great pain and pressure.
"Zhao Ji! I could have let you live a few more days and take your dog's life when I got married next month. Zhao seemed to raise his trembling arm, and the knife in his hand was trembling slightly: "But today you sent it to the door, and you still don't know how to lift it." Then the king will not leave you alone. Kill you today, and the king of tomorrow will be crowned emperor. Hum! Life is short, and opportunities are fleeting like morning dew. How could I let it go! Zhao Ji, you just accept your fate. It's all your own fault, you can't blame me! ”
Zhao Ji sighed and said, "Why don't you want to think about Concubine Zhu?" She guards the harem and is careful in everything, for fear of causing trouble for you. Are you not condemning her to injustice by doing so? ”
"Don't mention the concubine to me!" Before Zhao Ji finished speaking, Zhao seemed to have already roared. Shouting this sentence seemed to exhaust his strength, making his originally tall body stiffen. He choked, he trembled, and the knife in his hand fell with a thud. Then he fell to the ground, hugged his head and wept.
While crying, he said: "My mother has suffered all her life, and she has never enjoyed true family happiness. Although her two sons, one became an emperor and the other became a vassal king. However, the one who was the emperor died young, and the one who was the vassal king could only indulge in lust all day long. Mother Princess...... Mother, she still has to be oppressed by the old woman. Xiang Lao Zi relied on his father's main family and no one in his eyes, and gave you Zhao Ji the throne that should have been given to me! Therefore, I not only want to kill Zhao Ji, but also enter the palace to kill the old woman. Not only do I want to reclaim the throne that belongs to me, but I also want to wash away the shame that my mother has had for many years! ”
"Thirteenth brother!" Zhao Ji saw that the more he spoke, the more excited he became, and his expression became more and more crazy, so he comforted: "Since ancient times, the palace gate has been profound, and the suffering of Concubine Zhu is also the suffering of countless women for thousands of years. Your mother is still alive, but my mother has been dead for many years. If you have the heart to be filial, it is better to enter the palace early to apologize, Concubine Zhu is lenient and will be considerate of you. ”
"Zhao Ji, shut up!" Zhao Yi suddenly raised his head and said, "The matter has come to this, you have no way to escape!" It's easy for me to kill you. The bow has been wound and has to be sent! ”
"Zhao like! Don't you regret it? Zhao Ji asked.
"Humph! Never regret it! Zhao seemed to reply.
Zhao Ji nodded helplessly, and couldn't help sighing: "Boiled beans burn beans, and beans cry in the kettle." This is born from the same root, so why not be in a hurry to fry each other. Thirteenth brother, I am willing to save your life, but you don't cherish it. You can't blame me for that. ”
Zhao seemed to laugh, pointed at Zhao Ji and said, "Brother Huang, you are crazy!" How to talk crazy. ”
Mo Yunxiao looked at Zhao Ji left and then at Zhao Yi, her heart was up and down, and she had already been confused by them.
Zhao Ji closed his eyes and said slowly: "The hour is almost up, it's time to come in." ”
At this time, everyone in the hall seemed to hear the faint sound of shouting and killing outside. The family members around Zhao Ji and Mo Yunxiao were also looking left and right, and they were all a little panicked.
Zhao seemed to have pricked up his ears to listen, and he also heard the sound of killing outside, as well as the sound of soldiers colliding, as if there were two teams of men and horses fighting.
Not long after, the fire outside the door soared into the sky, and countless figures were reflected on the window paper. You don't have to think about it to know that someone is holding a torch and guarding the door.
Mo Yunxiao looked at the scene outside the door, and couldn't help but be dumbfounded. "So you've been on guard!" She whispered in Zhao Ji's ear. Zhao Ji nodded proudly.
"Then you didn't say that you came alone to emulate Guo Fenyang or something......
Zhao Ji smiled and said, "If you don't say that, how can you delay time." ”
"Official! Prime Minister Zhang Dan, Privy Envoy Zeng Bu, Kaifeng Mansion Yin Shengzhang, Guard Ma Bujun Commander Ma Youxian, and Forbidden Army Yu Hou Qiu Feng came to escort! Ask the official how he is doing! ”
The people outside the house shouted in unison, and the sound was like a bell, which shook people's hearts and lungs. Zhao seemed to be even more violent when he heard this. He jumped up and shouted, "You want to scare me!" I'm not afraid! I'm not afraid! Zhao Ji is in my hands, if you dare to come in, I will kill him first!" ”
"His Royal Highness King Jian, the big mistake has been made, don't fall into the mud anymore, you will only mislead your future." It was Zhang Dan who spoke.
Mo Yunxiao was a little strange, Qiu Feng's counterattack was still expected, but why did this Zhang Dun turn back, isn't he Zhao's sworn friend?
Actually, this question is not difficult to understand. Zhang Dian helped Zhao seems to be just because he said a sentence "King Duan is frivolous, you can't rule the world". He was afraid that Zhao Ji would be liquidated in the future, so he took a risk. But he also had a handle in Zhao Ru's hands. He was also afraid that Zhao would be liquidated in the future. So I had to cooperate with Qiu Feng again and report Zhao Ji to Zhao Ji together. In this way, thanks to Zhao Ji, his net worth and life can also be saved.
However, Zhao Zhao, who was angry, didn't seem to think of this.
So he scolded: "Zhangdian! You are a rammer who eats inside and outside, just betray me, and come here to show off your might! Believe it or not, I'll kill Zhao Ji now! ”
"King Jane! I advise you to rein in the precipice, you have already lost this game, so don't resist stubbornly. "Zhang Dun is persuading him to surrender.
As he spoke, he instructed his subordinates: "If you don't do it yet, what are you waiting for?" ”
Family, you look at me, I look at you, they are all a little hesitant. Zhao Ji looked around them, and then said, "King Jian's crime has nothing to do with you, and I will not add to the crime." If you have a meritorious escort, I will reward you generously. ”
The family members were already fluctuating, and the worries in their hearts were completely dispelled when they heard Zhao Ji's words, and they all knelt down almost at the same time, saying "Long live".
Seeing this scene, Zhao seemed to be dumbfounded. He was stunned for a moment, then picked up the knife just now and slashed at Zhao Ji.
But where was he Mo Yunxiao's opponent, I saw the latter fly up and kick the knife in his hand first, and then kick him to the ground. The family members rushed to subdue Zhao Ru.
"Up!" The people outside the house seemed to hear the movement, and at the sound of who's order, the California Forbidden Army soldiers broke into the door with a "rattle".
It is worthy of the well-trained Ouchi Forbidden Army, and it poured into the hall like a tide. The first wave took up a vantage point, aiming their crossbows at all the suspicious figures in the hall. "Don't move! Get down and don't move! With a shout, the housekeepers and maids in the hall hurriedly lay down and screamed in horror.
Then, a second wave of people rushed in, like an arrow from the string to the key figure Zhao. Several other people also rushed to Zhao Ji and Mo Yunxiao's side, surrounding them tightly.
In a matter of moments, the situation in the entire hall was reversed. Zhang Dun, Zeng Bu and his party came slowly. They knelt down in front of Zhao Ji and said "Long live".
Zeng Bu said: "The official family is in danger alone, dare to ask if it is okay?" ”
Zhao Ji nodded and said, "Zhu Qing is flat, and I am unharmed." ”
But the people did not dare to get up. Zhang Dian hesitated for a long time before he said slowly: "The officials, the ministers and others are guilty. ”
"What is Zhang Qing's crime?" Zhao Ji asked.
"The minister and King Jian are complicit in this crime; Escort is not conducive to these two crimes; As a ruler, you can't control the three sins; Minister......"
"Alright, alright." Zhao Ji interrupted him and said, "Although you are confused for a while, you wake up in time. If there is no secret revelation between you and Qiu Yu, I am afraid that the Mo family lady will suffer an accident. ”
Zhang Dian and Qiu Feng glanced at each other, bowed down, and said, "Thank you." "Humble gratitude. Mo Yunxiao also blushed a little, but the corners of her mouth couldn't help but show a faint smile.
Then, Zhao Ji turned around, came to Zhao Ru's usual master seat and sat down, and began to arrange in an orderly manner: "King Jian commits a crime, the crime is unforgivable, and the right to detain Dali Temple, another day by the three law divisions will be tried, and then his crime will be discussed." As for the servants in the palace, they are just coerced subordinates, and I will not be guilty, but I can let go of the deed and go to stay and make my own decisions. ”
After speaking, he set his eyes on Cheng Yu, who was already out of breath. Cheng Yu was covered in blood, and his body twitched from time to time. His mouth was slightly open, his eyes were wide open, and he looked like he was dead, and he didn't know whether it was due to the fear of death or extreme anger.
Zhao Ji looked at him, and Mo Yunxiao also looked at him. Zeng Bu, Qiu Feng, and Zhang Dian also looked at him. Mo Yunxiao's eyes contained tears again, the matter had come to this point, she was not only worthless for Chengyu, but also sad for Huan'er.
"This person is Zhao Ru's confidant, who once tried to harm me, and committed an unpardonable crime." Zhao Ji said slowly: "However, he also died under Zhao Ru's knife because of his eagerness to save the driver." This person is not bad-hearted, but he is being used by others. ”
After he finished speaking, he looked up at Zhang Dian again: "Please ask Zhang Qing to restrain this person, and bury him according to the specifications of the five officials in Beijing." ”
Zhang Dian bowed, agreed, and then commanded the soldiers to carry Cheng Yu's body out.
Zhao Ji's gaze fell on Zeng Bu again, and asked, "How is the progress on Mrs. Wei's side?" ”
Zeng Bu stepped forward and replied, "Humble Jing Zheng and ...... with ......"
"Beggar gang, aren't they?" Zhao Ji smiled: "But it doesn't hurt to say it." ”
"Yes." Zeng Bu bowed slightly and said, "Humble Jing and the people of the beggar gang are raiding the Ghost Fan Tower outside the city. ”
"Report!" A soldier rushed in, knelt down in front of Zeng Bu, and said, "Zeng Shumi, the leader of the Cao Gang, Wan Nailin, has been ambushed." The staff surnamed Chu has also been arrested. ”
"Okay." Zeng Bu turned his head to Zhao Ji and said, "What is the arrangement of the official family?" ”
Zhao Ji groaned for a moment, and then assigned the task: "Ma Youxian, immediately bring people to support the beggars to help them." All the silver and property of the Guifan Building shall be collected into the treasury and shall not be allowed to be discharged. The women are also to be registered, placed in the building for the time being, and returned one by one in the future. ”
"No!" Ma Youguang answered, and then turned and left.
"Revenge." Zhao Ji continued: "You also take someone to Chu Yuanwai and detain his entire family in the prison of the Criminal Department, there must be no mistake." ”
"No!" Qiu Feng also responded, turned around and left.
Zhao Ji glanced at Mo Yunxiao, who was standing aside and only staring at him, and then looked at Zhao Yunxiao, who was tied up with five flowers and his face was like ashes, and he didn't feel relaxed at all.
"Thirteenth brother, right now you are a prisoner, and I am a guest. I ask you, do you regret it? Zhao Ji Zhengse said.
Zhao Ru smiled coldly and said, "Becoming a king or losing a king, there's nothing to say." I didn't handle things well to end up like this, and I don't complain about anyone. ”
"Do you really hate me that much?" Zhao Ji asked.
"Yes, I hate you." Zhao Ru raised his pale face and said, "I really can't wait to eat raw meat and sleep in Erpi!" ”
"Presumptuous!" Zeng Bu shouted angrily and reprimanded: "Why is King Jian so obsessed and unscathed, and he utters such a great rebellious word!" ”
"Humph! If the person sitting in the Zichen Hall was me, would you still speak to me like this? Zhao seemed to smile at Zeng Bu.
Zeng Bu was speechless for a while, not knowing what to say.
"Why do you hate me, just because I robbed you of your throne?" Zhao Ji asked again.
Zhao Ru turned his face and said with a smile: "You not only robbed me of the throne, but also robbed my woman!" ”
Hearing this, everyone was taken aback. Mo Yunxiao was even more flustered.
Zhao Ji glanced at Mo Yunxiao, who had no master of the six gods, and asked, "Is it the lady of the Mo family?" ”
"Not bad!" Zhao seemed to roar angrily, if it wasn't for someone pulling him, he would really rush up: "I, Zhao Ru, have been romantic all my life, but I am only emotional to Mo Yunxiao!" But she ...... But this thief and are messing with you! Hum! Because you are an official, that's why she will stammer with you! ”
"King Jane! You ......" Mo Yunxiao burst into tears, she wanted to reprimand him but didn't know what to say, so she could only hide her face and cry.
Zhao Ji sighed before saying, "Take him down." ”
Zhao Ru was still struggling while being dragged away by the soldiers, and shouted: "Zhao Ji! Even if you kill me, I'll turn into a ghost and make you restless day and night! You won't end well with that thief and...... It's not going to end well......"
