Volume 2 The Fire of Chang'an Chapter 100 October Chang'an (3)
Half a quarter of an hour later, three carriages and two fast horses assembled in front of the Sky Pavilion. All the ladies also took salutes and gathered in the banquet hall.
"Sisters, something happened to Yunxiao Pavilion, most of you have nothing to do with this matter, I have some gold and silver here, I will give it to you evenly, you can leave by yourself."
Ning Ruowei packed all her belongings and put them on the table. In the Yunxiao Pavilion, except for the singing and dancing girls and musicians, the rest of the ladies did not know that this place was a branch of the Peacock Tower.
"Pavilion Master, what happened, we ...... Where else can we go without the Sky Tower? "Many young girls wiped their tears and wept.
"The world is so big, you can go anywhere, you have this money, you can buy some houses and good land, and then find a good man to marry, the girls of our Yunxiao Pavilion are so beautiful and talented, and they can live a good life in the future...... Okay, you guys go quickly, it's too late if you don't go. ”
Ning Ruowei endured the sadness of parting, greeted the remaining twelve Peacock House doormen, and walked out of the Yunxiao Pavilion with the children.
Counting the children, there are twenty-four people in total, which is just enough to squeeze into three carriages.
Yan Yunting and Ning Ruowei were one person and one fast horse, braving the heavy rain to lead the team to gallop towards the West City Gate.
……
Under the gate of the West City, Yan Chen paced back and forth in front of the gate, and the guards guarding the city today were more than three times more than in the past.
"Drive! Drive! ”
Hearing the sound of horses' hooves, Yan Chen hurriedly ordered his soldiers to break down the city gate.
"General Yan, isn't there a military order from above, and no one can go out of the city for today's Shangyuan sacrifice?" The soldier hesitated.
"If you are told to drive, you will drive, delay the time, be careful of your head move!" Yan Chen said.
Then the soldiers opened the gates.
At this moment, Yan Yunting also arrived on horseback, looking at Yan Chen who was waiting in front of the door, he was indeed a loyal person who would repay his kindness.
"The carriage behind will follow, and we'll go out of town." Yan Yunting beckoned, just about to leave the city-
"Whoosh!" An arrow swept past him, blocking the group's path.
The horses were frightened, and a long neighing sounded through the rainy night.
"King Yu has an order, today's Shangyuan Festival, everyone should pray at home, if anyone goes out of the city, kill him!" A silver-armored guard, leading a team of sword and axe men, hurried towards the city gate from the flank.
"Hu Shun! The north gate is your guard, what do you do at the west gate! Yan Chen stopped the silver-armored guard in front of the horse.
Hu Shun smiled coldly, "Yan Chen, three days ago, seven senior officials were killed, your culpability has not yet been decided, and today you let people out of the city without permission, do you think you have too many heads?" ”
Yan Chen said: "Letting Yan Daxia and others go out is the order of Mrs. Lin, and you dare to stop it!" ”
"Mrs. Lin?! A civil official who doesn't even have real power, how can his orders compare to His Royal Highness King Yu? Hu Shun pulled out his saber, pointed at Yan Chen, and said, "Yan Chen, I read that you and I are both Praetorian Generals, I will give you another chance to live, get out!" ”
"You dare!" Yan Chen also drew his sword and shouted: "The soldiers of the West City Gate listen to the order and escort Yan Daxia out of the city with me!" ”
The soldiers defending the city saw that both sides were generals, and deliberately surrounded them, but they did not dare to be tense.
"Brothers in Xicheng, listen, if you dare to let one person leave today, it will be a capital crime, and your wives and children, old and young, will fall to the ground!"
After Hu Shun's attack, the Xicheng soldiers didn't dare to move anymore, and they didn't hear anything, bowing their heads and being silent.
"Hahaha...... His Royal Highness King Yu expected that someone would go out of the city at night—"
"Did King Yu tell you that you are going to die in Xicheng today?"
Yan Yunting jumped up from the horse, pulled out his gall, and slashed towards Hu Shun with the momentum of the world!
Hu Shun hurriedly blocked with a knife, "Bang! "I took this sword! He has at least the power of the Xuan Realm!
"All the soldiers, listen, follow me to hunt for the murderer!" Hu Shun bounced Yan Yunting away and beckoned the guards to launch a counterattack.
"Sisi, Caiyue, Zhao'er...... Come out and help! Ning Ruowei and all the guests of the Peacock Tower drew their hidden swords one after another, jumped out of the carriage to meet the Praetorian Guards.
Fortunately, the soldiers in Xicheng are very sensible, and behind both sides are people who can't be provoked, and standing still is the best choice.
Yan Yunting didn't want to fight anymore, a sword qi divided the battlefield, rushed towards Hu Shun, and before he could get close to him, a move "Devouring God Decision" sucked him into the palm of his hand!
"Dog minion, you're following the wrong master!"
He held down Hu Shun's heavenly spirit, sucked and sucked...... "Ahhh......h
The energetic Yan Yunting felt that his whole body was hot, the dantian seemed to be about to explode, he was arrogant, he was violent, he was thirsty for blood, he couldn't control the killing in his heart, and instead transformed all his true qi into sword intent, and a sword broke out!
"Whew!"
The sword qi was thirty zhang long, and all the guards were cut off by this sword, and for a while, corpses were everywhere, and blood flowed like a river!
"All the soldiers, listen, the emperor's royal gold medal is here, if anyone dares to stop it, the end will be like them!" Yan Yunting returned to the horse with the gold medal in hand, and the blood-drinking sword blade was his most arrogant god-killing posture.
The guards of the city automatically separated on both sides, kowtowing and bowing their eyebrows to make way for Yan Yunting.
"Let's go!"
The convoy galloped out of town.
"General Yan, does Mr. Lin have any explanations for your whereabouts after leaving the city?" Yan Yunting asked Yan Chen, who followed beside him.
Yan Chen said: "Just yesterday, Lord Lin asked me to take my family to Xicheng Wharf first, and then chartered a cargo ship, saying that I would use it when I left today. ”
"What else?" Yan Yunting asked again.
"No," Yan Chen shook his head and asked, "Yan Daxia, do you know what is going to happen in Chang'an City?" I have been guarding the city in Chang'an for more than ten years, and I have never seen today's battle. ”
Yan Yunting shook his head, looking back at the Chang'an City that was gradually moving away and hazy, although he didn't clear what would happen, he was sure that what was going to happen would be extremely dangerous.
……
……
At this moment, Dongcheng, cut the deer platform.
With the support of the eunuchs, Li Mao braved the wind and rain to climb up to the altar step by step.
"Your Majesty, take care of your dragon body, this rain is too cold, do you still have an umbrella?" The eunuchs on the side wept while persuading.
Although Li Mao was weak, he was arrogant on the Great Wall: "I, the Li royal family, how can I be afraid of this cold rain?" ”
Lin Xiaofeng protected the crown prince Li Ye, standing on the left side of the altar with the princes and nobles, and the civil and military officials stood on the right side in order, the Son of Heaven did not hold an umbrella, and they naturally had to endure heavy rain and cold wind.
But among the people who participated in the sacrifice, Li Wei was not found.
"Teacher Lin, my father is so tired, why do you insist on sacrificing?" Li Ye asked in a childish voice.
Lin Xiaofeng said with a smile: "Ye'er, even if the mountains and rivers are drifting and the wind is stormy, as the king of a country, no matter how hard and tired it is, even if he dies, he should also shoulder the responsibility of the world, this is the way of the emperor, and it is the pride of the emperor." ”
