Chapter 10: A Girl's Heart
After Jinyiwei kicked open the palace door, Zhou Shixian immediately rushed in, his heart was beating wildly, for fear that he would be too late for this delay.
This is the most difficult part of "robbing the palace".
Not earlier, at that time there was still a garrison in the Forbidden City, and Zhou Shixian brought more than 100 people. In this case, it will never work to attack, and it will expose the truth that you have no holy will;
It's not okay to be late, Chongzhen may have cut off his daughter-in-law, mother-in-law, and sister-in-law. At that time, I am afraid that I will have to leave irreparable regrets.
When he rushed to the front gate of the palace with the brocade guard, he saw a eunuch guarding outside the palace, and when he saw someone breaking in, not only did he not run, but he also seemed to make a gesture to block it.
Zhou Shixian recognized that it was Wang Chengen, but he didn't have time to explain to the other party, so he directly kicked Wang Chengen, who was about to come up to block, and then kicked open the palace door.
The door of the palace was kicked open with a "bang", Chongzhen, who was wearing a dragon robe, the sword in his hand had been raised high, and the wind was howling in.
Empress Zhou, Princess Kunxing, and Princess Zhaoren all fluttered in the wind on the tips of their hair and the ribbons on their dresses, like fairies.
Princess Kunxing raised her head and looked at the blood-stained sword raised high in Emperor Chongzhen's hand, her beautiful face was full of horror, despair, unwillingness and stubbornness.
This is the first time Zhou Shixian has seen the rumored Princess Kunxing, who is beautiful and beautiful, unparalleled in the world, and it really deserves her reputation.
Princess Kunxing and Queen Zhou's slightly upturned faces were all shockingly beautiful, but what was not at all undesirable was that the murderous blood sword in the hands of Emperor Chongzhen was reflected in their beautiful eyes.
Seeing this, Zhou Shixian immediately flew out of the embroidered spring knife in his hand, and at the moment when the blood sword was about to cut to the head of Queen Zhou, the two swords intersected, and with a sound of "Qiang", Emperor Chongzhen only felt the force in his hand, and the sword was slanted outward, and it came out of his hand directly, and it was slanted to the ground, and a few sparks were splashed.
And the embroidered spring knife that spun out suddenly turned because of the force, and with a "bang" sound, it was inserted into a red pillar on the hall.
Queen Zhou has lived in the palace for more than ten years, where has she ever seen such a scene, she was already weak because of the sadness of dying, but she just held on to her last breath and pretended to be strong.
At this time, he escaped death, and under the sudden fright, his heart tightened, and as soon as his blood rushed, he felt dizzy and almost fainted.
Princess Kunxing, who was standing behind her, was strong, but in this case, she only instinctively shrank slightly, and when she saw Queen Zhou falling, she quickly supported the other party from behind.
And Emperor Chongzhen, who didn't know what was going on, turned around in amazement and looked at Zhou Shixian, who had broken into the hall, but he couldn't help but be shocked, opened his mouth wide, and his eyes were firmly fixed on this young general who was wearing armor and seemed to be a little familiar.
Zhou Shixian immediately bowed, clasped his fists, and gave a military salute to Emperor Chongzhen:
"Your Majesty, the thieves have broken the city and are on the way to the Forbidden City, the ministers and horses are all lieutenants, and Zhou Shixian, a hundred households of the Jinyi Guard, came to escort him, but because he was in armor, he couldn't salute all of them, and asked His Majesty to move quickly!"
"Ah...... This ...... "Emperor Chongzhen saw dozens of armored brocade guards half-kneeling in the palace, and the seventeen years of qi cultivation kung fu had also broken at this time, and he was speechless for a while.
Zhou Shixian knew that Emperor Chongzhen's mind must be very chaotic now, but the Liukou army was about to attack the Forbidden City, and they had to leave immediately, and they couldn't delay for a moment.
He had already sent more than 30 cavalry to explore the south of the capital, although it was not the direction of Li Zicheng's army's main attack, but there were also soldiers and horses besieging the city, and it was necessary to send sentry cavalry in advance to inquire about the military situation.
In addition, Zhou Shixian also had people sprinkle silver on many key streets leading to the south of the city, which at this time had caused the rout of the city and the looting of the people, which greatly hindered the movement of the Shun army.
After all, it was the Shun army that also joined the ranks of robbery, and also clashed with the Ming army that was already about to surrender.
"Your Majesty, the traitor is coming soon, please don't hesitate any longer, the minister has prepared a soft sedan chair, and there are three hundred fully armed loyal soldiers to escort it." Seeing this, Zhou Shixian persuaded again.
Emperor Chongzhen was slightly stunned when he heard this, but he immediately reacted, and even restored the majesty of the king of a country:
"Okay, I'm right, the matter is urgent, and the matter of moving out of the palace to the south will be handled by Shixian with full authority."
At this time, where could Emperor Chongzhen not understand that the horse in front of him had been prepared, otherwise there would not be so many brocade guards to escort him.
If this is the case, the other party must have already planned the whole thing. In fact, for the current Chongzhen, no matter whether this plan is thorough or not, reliable or unreliable, he has to give it a try.
Moreover, being able to organize a team of hundreds of people unknowingly at such a time, Zhou Shixian's ability is definitely not to be underestimated, at least not mortal.
Therefore, the title in the mouth of Emperor Chongzhen has directly become an intimate "Shixian", which is simply pinning hopes on this last straw.
"Command!" Zhou Shi showed Emperor Chongzhen's order, and immediately ordered a few brocade guards to step forward to protect Emperor Chongzhen out, and at this time, Wang Chengen had already gotten up from the ground, and together with Princess Kunxing, he helped the half-dusk Queen Zhou and walked out together.
Princess Kunxing had come to her senses at this time, she was supporting Queen Zhou with Wang Chengen, and holding Xiao Zhaoren with the other, but Yu Guang had already secretly aimed at Zhou Shixian, who was wearing battle armor.
She originally thought that she was going to be martyred tonight, although she was extremely reluctant, but as a princess of a country, when the country was ruined, she had to do this, this is the integrity that a princess should have!
Therefore, when she saw her husband suddenly rushing into the palace, and handsomely flew out with a knife, saving her mother and herself, what a surprise she was in her heart!
At this time, the two passed by, their eyes met, Princess Kunxing's face was already flushed, and the joy in her heart was indescribable.
"Is he here specifically for me?" Even if it is as expensive as a princess, for a fifteen-year-old girl, there is something else in her mind at this time: "The queen mother is right, he was born really handsome......"
And Zhou Shixian naturally didn't know that his daughter-in-law, who had not passed through the door, still had these careful thoughts, and his thoughts at this time were all on how to break out of the city and go south safely.
