Chapter 58: Laughing (9)
There was a mess on the wall of the Gandeokmun Palace, and the Gyeonggi Guards took the opportunity to climb the ladder and swarmed up. The sound of fighting on the city gate was endless, and from time to time there were figures with flames rolling down the city walls, like moths falling with flames, turning to ashes.
Purgatory on Earth.
The Gyeonggi Wei Commander couldn't help but admire Chu Zhixia's eyes a little more, "All those who fight, win with the right and the odd." [1] The Chu clan in the clouds is worthy of its name. ”
"It's just a little trick, thanks to the elite archers under the command, and the east wind to help me tonight, otherwise I will not be able to continue." Chu Zhixia modestly responded to his praise, "It is not appropriate to use short soldiers immediately, can the commander have a spear to borrow?" ”
Without saying a word, the commander took off the silver spear from his saddle and handed it to her.
A stick of incense burned out, and the Qiande Gate opened.
The rebels at the end of the crossbow and the Gyeonggi guards who opened the city gate fought together, shouting and shouting and killing were endless.
Chu Zhixia pinched the horse's belly, and actually rushed straight into the formation, seeing that the scalp of the commander of the Gyeonggi Wei exploded - if something happened to the eldest lady of the Chu clan in the clouds, Mo said that the king of Zhenbei would not let him go, and it was impossible for Chu Mingxiu, the well-known living king of the Great Zhou military circles, to stop!
"Gyeonggi Wei listens to my orders, kills the national thief, and King Qin escorts!"
The commander took the lead and followed Chu Zhixia behind.
Under the palace gate are all foot soldiers, and the cavalry crossing the border is like a strong wind cutting grass.
Chu Zhixia brandished his spear and swept away the rebels who tried to cut off the horse's leg at close range, and his eyes wandered around. Her eyes eventually fell on a man in disarray, the fire blackened him and his clothes unrecognizable, but several rebels still protected him.
It was this life-saving act that exposed him.
Qiandemen garrison, Li Dezheng.
Chu Zhixia rushed forward on his horse, easily tearing through the crowd, and the vibration of broken bones was transmitted from the horse's hooves to Chu Zhixia's body. Chu Zhixia's hand holding the gun trembled slightly, and she seemed to have returned to the snow pass in her previous life, Jin Ge Iron Horse, bloody wind and rain.
The Chu family was born with belligerent blood.
The reins were pulled fiercely, the horses neighed, the iron hooves were raised, and the silver spear in Chu Zhixia's hand was like a poisonous dragon going out to sea, piercing Li Dezheng's chest. The horse galloped, its majestic power irretrievable, and the silver spear lifted it high into the air.
Li Zhengde looked at Chu Zhixia's cold eyes in disbelief, and it was difficult to confide half a word.
"The rebel generals are dead, and those who surrender will not be killed!"
The dripping blood flowed down the silver spear to Chu Zhixia's hand, and it was hot and straight through his heart and lungs.
A stray arrow passed through the crowd and shot at Chu Zhixia's heart under the nose of the Gyeonggi Guard.
Chu Zhixia had already noticed it before the commander of the Gyeonggi Guard shouted, and calmly abandoned the spear and was about to draw his sword and turn around to block it. But another feathered arrow burst out of the air, and the cluster of arrows unbiasedly shattered the hollow wooden pole in the middle of the stray arrow, and it was torn apart.
Chu Zhixia was slightly stunned in his heart, and turned his head to look at the boundless night.
Chu Shixia couldn't see it, but she knew that there was a pair of eyes hidden in the dark night watching her.
——
On the wall of Qiandemen, a window quietly opened.
Beyond the gate, there is chaos.
Shen Zhou stood in the silent darkness, his face expressionless as he hooked up his arrows. As far as he could see, there was a sea of people, and Chu Zhixia turned around on the white horse to find his familiar figure, and a string of blood spots were splashed on his snow-white cheeks.
Shen Zhou silently pulled his lips and smiled.
Hook String's fingers loosened, and he shot through a foot soldier who was trying to approach Chu Zhixia's horse. The white feather trembled, and the arrow was extremely powerful, revealing from the flesh of its back.
This is not the martial arts of the Assassin organization "Nine Shadows", but the bow and horse skills that the Chu family has practiced and refined for generations on the Iron Horse Glacier.
——
Xuanzheng Palace.
Distant voices came from the boiling lights, but the Xuanzheng Hall was as silent as stagnant water, and no one dared to speak out.
The emperor's face was so black that it dripped, and he angrily threw the edict of succession with the national seal into Bai Yi's arms. Bai Yi seemed to have just woken up from a big dream, holding the edict and reading it again and again, his facial features distorted with excitement.
"Now you're satisfied?" The Emperor asked coldly.
"It's not enough." Bai Yi shook his head, and his fierce eyes fell on the queen, "The queen and the monks of Yuanjue Temple assassinated His Majesty, and his crime should be punished by the nine clans." Father, are you right? ”
Who is responsible for the case of Yuanjue Temple, it is self-evident at this moment. But the emperor could only grit his teeth secretly, and there was no way to do it.
"Father, it won't be now, but you have to tell me that you have a deep friendship with this wife, and you can't bear to be harsh, right?" Bai Yi swept away the queen standing by the bright lantern, and waved his hand to signal his subordinates to arrest her.
The queen has been worshipping the Buddha for many years, not asking about the world, and her complexion reveals an unhealthy paleness. Legend has it that the emperor favored Concubine Rong and alienated and snubbed the queen, just because the queen was dull. But there is no embellishment of powder, and the queen also has a calm and cold temperament to support it, and she does not fall behind.
"Bai Yi, you just hate Ah Yu for causing you to break your leg." The queen raised her hand and brushed her sideburns, and said calmly, "Don't embarrass Your Majesty, so that you will be infamous for killing your father and brother." What you're going to do, just come at me. ”
"That's it?" Bai Yi's throat twitched and roared hysterically, "What is it, how can it be stopped?" If the broken leg is the eldest son of your proud son that day, and the youngest son of your petite son, will you still say 'just that' lightly? ”
The queen was pushed to the ground by the rude guards, the phoenix crown toppled over, and the clouds and temples were scattered.
"Do you think that if you hide in the Buddha hall as a turtle with a shrunken head, others will accompany you to play nothing?" The corners of Bai Yi's eyes were red, and the green tendons on his neck were raised, "Even if you kneel to death in the Buddha hall, you can't atone for your son's sins, your father is still a thief who has never been easy to come by, and your Chen family is a courtier who has been accused and scolded by people for generations!" ”
The queen's back trembled, as if she had been stabbed all over her body by his words.
"Yes, you're right." The queen pulled out the sharp dagger from her sleeve, and Bai Yi couldn't help but step back a little.
"My sins cannot be atoned for, and today the side of the neck of the knife holder is the reincarnation of cause and effect." The queen lowered her head, tears hitting the gold-embroidered phoenix robe, "I am willing to apologize for my crimes, and please spare your biological father and ...... Brothers. ”
The blade slammed into the heart without the slightest hesitation.
"Fourth brother!" The child's immature exclamation was suddenly interrupted, and Xiao Pei Fei hugged Bai Yan and quickly covered his mouth.
The blade stopped an inch above the queen's heart, and Bai Ziche's slender and powerful fingers grasped the blade, and the blood was dripping red with golden phoenix patterns. Bai Ziche didn't seem to know the pain, and held the dagger stubbornly and didn't let go, but moved it from the queen's hand little by little.
"Mother, beware of hurting yourself." Bai Ziche said in a low voice, "Put the knife down." ”
The emperor not far away breathed a sigh of relief.
Bai Yi narrowed his eyes, "Little, what's the matter with you here?" When you are dying, you still wag your tail with others to be courteous? ”
"Second brother, didn't you notice that there has been no sound of fighting in the direction of Qiandemen for a long time?" Bai Ziche quietly pushed the queen behind him, and faced Bai Yi's angry eyes, "Actually, you should have known it when you were still in Weiyang Palace, right?" Gyeonggi Wei came to King Qin and broke through the Gande Gate. ”
When he saw Yan Jue in Weiyang Palace, Bai Yi said that Yan Jue was in trouble, "If you take away the Chu family, there will be another Yan family."
While everyone was holding their breath and observing the dispute between Bai Yi and the emperor, Bai Ziche quietly pushed open a window and saw the Kong Ming lantern falling on the wall of the Qiande Gate, and the Qiande Gate was broken, and the girl with a white horse and silver spear rode out.
"The opponent of the Chu family is the Beidi people who chase water and grass on the grassland, and Li Zhengde is not her opponent."
Bai Ziche said softly, "In this game, you lost." ”
Bai Yi's eyes showed a fierce light, and the guards behind him immediately drew their knives and were about to stab Bai Ziche through them. Yan Jie, who had been silent on the emperor's side, suddenly pounced, grabbed Bai Ziche's rear leader and threw the person backwards, drawing his knife to meet the opponent's blade.
Bai Ziche fell hard, grabbed the hands of the emperor and the empress with gold stars in his eyes and pushed: "Father and queen mother, go from the back of the main hall, Miss Chu is here to rescue!" ”
"I'll see who dares to go." Bai Yi slammed the cup heavily and said ruthlessly, "Whoever takes the head of the four princes will be rewarded with 100 gold; Those who take the heads of the six princes will be rewarded with a thousand gold. ”
Bai Ziche rarely showed a panicked look and looked at Bai Yan who was being held by Concubine Pei. Bai Yan didn't know what this order represented, his two round eyes looked at him with tears in his eyes, and shouted "Fourth Brother and Fourth Brother".
"If there is only one son, father, you will have no one who can pass on the throne." Bai Yi pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled, looking a little crazy.
"The eldest lady of the Chu family has led the Gyeonggi Guard to break through the Qiande Gate, now lay down your arms, Your Majesty can spare you from dying." Bai Ziche forced himself to calm down and said, "You are not following the new emperor of tomorrow, but just a prisoner of an idiot who talks about dreams, don't lose your life in vain." ”
The soldiers approaching Bai Yan and the emperor hesitated for a moment.
"Kill him." Bai Yi smashed his hand beads to pieces, "Are you all deaf?" ”
"You can think clearly, Bai Yi is already a sure loser." Bai Ziche raised his voice and resounded throughout the Xuanzheng Palace, "Even if you are lucky enough not to die under the saber of King Qin, the Bai Clan, the Guanzhong Pei Clan, and the Taiyuan Chen Clan will hunt you down to the ends of the earth." ”
The gate of the Xuanzheng Hall was suddenly vigorously knocked open, and the soldier covered in blood staggered, "Second Highness, hurry up, the Gyeonggi Guard is coming, we can't stop it!" ”
"Father, how about going to the Xuanzheng Hall with me and reading the edict of succession?" Bai Yi seemed to be really crazy, and looked at the emperor with anticipation.
Yan Jue swung his elbow and hit the opponent's lower abdomen, wiped his neck with a knife, and roared with a bloody face: "Fourth Highness, take Your Majesty away!" ”
More people gathered around, and Yan Jue looked around like an insect wrapped in layers of cobwebs, raising his knife and looking around. However, his fists were invincible to his four hands, and his arms and waist were soon injured, and the emperor was also caught by Bai Yi's people.
The sound of horses' hooves followed, followed by three short rounds of arrows.
The first arrow hit the back of the head of the man who was holding the emperor, the second arrow pierced the shoulder of the man who swung the knife and slashed at Yan Du, and the third arrow landed at Bai Yi's feet.
Arrows.
The man on horseback was covered in silver armor and was washed with blood, and the spear was unstoppable, and in the blink of an eye, it shattered the ribs of the enemy. She shot as fast as the wind, and there was a thunderous sweep, and she broke through the encirclement of dozens of people by herself.
The tip of the blood-dripping spear was pressed against Bai Yi's throat, and Chu Zhixia lifted his mask, revealing the girl's heroic and bright face.
"Chen Chu knows Xia, the escort is late, please forgive your majesty."
"Chu Zhixia, I should have killed you a long time ago." Bai Yi gritted his teeth.
"Stop bragging, Your Highness." Chu Shixia wrote lightly, "Don't you kill me because you don't want to?" ”
