It was snowing heavily at night, and the guards were holding oil-paper umbrellas and pushing Pei Chong to the backyard.

The wheelchair left two lines of marks on the snow, and the creaking of boots made a cold snowy night.

This winter has been exceptionally cold.

The guards had placed the food and wine on the stone table in the backyard gazebo.

In order to keep out the cold, two charcoal stoves are also prepared.

When they wanted to hang a wind curtain for the pavilion, they were stopped by Pei Chong raising his hand.

"Let's all go down."

The guard answered and went down silently.

Pei Chong sat alone in the pavilion in the wind and snow, and when he saw the frozen lake, he smiled bitterly for a long time.

"Ah Ruo, you can have a drink with me."

He filled his glass with wine, placed one on the opposite side, held one in the palm of his hand, smiled and drank it up.

Usually Pei Chong doesn't drink, no matter what happens, Taishan collapses in front of him and his face does not change, but tonight, he seems to be full of sadness.

"You are gone, but it is quiet. Left me alone, dragged my son and took my daughter, and survived all these years. That's it, it's enough, there's nothing to regret......"

With that, he poured another glass, and his eyes were red.

When people reach a certain age, they think about a lot of things.

If he can exchange his life's fame and fortune for his beloved wife, even if he accompanies him for another year, a month, or even a day, he is willing.

There is no one who can stand side by side, a person who can share fame and fortune, even if his eyes are full of prosperity, he is only ruined.

He has been alone for many years of disgrace, and he is not afraid that he will not be able to wait for the spring flowers to bloom.

"I woke up from a nightmare last night. Ah Ruo, I haven't dreamed of you for many years. In my dream, you are here to scare me......"

Pei Chong's voice was a little laughing, calm and calm.

"It's almost time, it's time for you to pick me up too?"

He lowered his eyes, shook his head, and poured the wine again.

"Children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, I can't manage it, and I don't want to take care of it. In the future, I will accompany you, if you want to plant vegetables, you can plant vegetables, if you want to plant flowers, you can plant flowers, you don't want anything, I will accompany you to listen to the rain and drink tea......"

Rain and snow.

The air seemed to be filled with the smell of firecrackers during the New Year.

On the street, there is a "crackling" sound from time to time, continuing the excitement of the New Year.

Pei Chong listened sideways and sighed, "Your birthday is destined to not be able to live well." ”

The sound of messy footsteps came through the wall.

The door of Pei's Mansion was knocked heavily from the outside.

"The Empress Dowager's edict, Pei Chong took the decree."

Pei Chong frowned and looked at the guards not far away.

"No one is allowed to approach Tinglan Courtyard."

The guards answered from a distance and did not come.

Pei Chong heard the sound of the sword coming out of its sheath, glanced at the way the flying snow slanted into the corner of the pavilion and landed on the wind lamp, snorted, and the anger in his eyes gradually dissipated.

"Ignore it, let's have a drink."

From the day when Pei Jiajun changed its appearance, removed the word "Pei", and called it the Beiyong Army, Pei Chong expected that one day the Pei family would be guilty of the imperial court because of the heavy troops in hand.

It doesn't matter in what way or what the crime is, what matters is when it comes......

The situation in the world is divided and combined, and this is probably the case.

He was prepared, but still very unhappy.

Today is the birthday of his deceased wife, and they have come at an inopportune time.

After a few moments, I heard a knock on the door.

"Pei Chong colluded with the enemy's leader, harbored the remnants of the enemy's army, recognized the thief as his son, and beheaded according to the law. The Queen Mother recited her merits, the death penalty could be avoided, and the living crime could not be escaped, and Pei Chong did not come to accept the guilt quickly. ”

The guards were shocked and hurried to Tinglan Courtyard to report.

"Lord, it's not good, the Queen Mother ordered, say, say, say......"

He didn't dare to continue, but he heard the old general sneer.

"I hear them all, let them yell and go. A few of you, with the rest of you, leave the backyard without having to clash head-on. ”

The guards were shocked, "Lord...... What about you? ”

"Me?" Pei Chong's eyes narrowed slightly, "Accompany Mrs. to drink and have fun." ”

After he finished speaking unhurriedly, he poured himself a glass of wine lightly, touched the full cup, and said softly: "They refuse to tell the truth even when they kill people, and they go to great lengths to find so many excuses, as if they are really thinking about the society and the people, which is extremely ridiculous." ”

Looking at the dark night of the infinite void again, he said softly: "Back then, when I brought Ah Yan back, you also fell in love with him at a glance, right?" Such a sensible child, who can be abandoned? ”

Speaking of this, his tone was full of gratitude to his wife.

"It doesn't matter. Ah Yuan has grown up and has grown up, and Ah Yuan is safe now, without you and me taking care of her, we can live our lives with confidence. ”

The sword flashed, and the blade came out of its sheath.

The guards said in unison: "Swear to follow the lord to the death." We don't go. ”

There was a roar of thunder outside the gate, and the Tinglan courtyard was unusually quiet.

-

"Quick! Keep up, keep up! ”

In the dark night, a group of forbidden soldiers held torches and stepped on messy steps, surrounding the General's Mansion, and the leading general Lu Zuo raised his arms and shouted, hoarse.

"The Empress Dowager's edict to kill King Yonghuai and rebel against the party."

The crowd roared and banged on the door.

Rockets poured with tung oil rained down on the high courtyard walls.

In an instant, the fire in the courtyard of the house soared into the sky, and the majestic General's Mansion, against the backdrop of a snowlight, suddenly fell into a sea of fire, accompanied by thick smoke, and the whole world seemed to be shaken.

Seeing that the great thing had been accomplished, Luzo jerked out his waist knife and raised his arm vigorously.

"Bang on the door! Kill King Yonghuai for betraying the party. ”

With a clatter, the heavy door slammed open.

Lu Zuo sighed, "The soldiers listened to the order, and King Yonghuai held the prince hostage, plotting to rebel, and he should be punished." A cadre of people in the house, etc., will be killed, and no one will be left alive. ”

All the soldiers shouted in unison, "Oh." ”

Lu Zuo is Li Zongxun's person, and he is very excited at the moment.

It was definitely the craziest and most exhilarating thing he'd ever done in his life.

It is also a play designed by Prime Minister Li Cheng, the most tense and exciting and brilliant murder game.

Set fire first and then kill people, as long as Pei Zhen is trapped and killed in the mansion, from now on, the charge of "rebellion and punishment" will be confirmed, don't look at the current there are still some princes and ministers standing on Pei Zhen's side to speak for him, as soon as a person dies, the tea will be cold, tomorrow morning, in the court, there will only be one voice-

"Welcome to the new king."

What if the Pei family has grievances?

Let's go to the palace of Hades to find Lord Hades to plead.

"Kill!" A group of people rushed into the general's mansion like wolves, and soon they found that there was no one in the courtyard, and no one had escaped from the courtyard of the wing house when the house was on fire.

Luzo was shocked.

"Not good. Remove! ”

His knee-jerk reaction was fast enough.

It's a pity that it's still a step too late.

Blood splattered out, and a big rush rushed straight into his eyes.

The archers who had been in ambush in the general's palace had already drawn their bowstrings, waiting for them to rush in and shoot silently and indiscriminately.

I saw that in the flame-filled courtyard, these flesh and blood bodies who thought they were in the hands of victory had no time to dodge, and they fell to the ground one after another.

Luzo was shocked, grabbed his helmet and ran.

"Quick! Rush up and kill the rebels in the General's Mansion ......"

While shouting for the Kill Party, he waved his waist knife and exited the crowd.

He wanted to escape from the arrows.

Pity......

A feathered arrow looked like it had eyes, and it shot straight at the Praetorian soldiers......

Strike! Luzo's eyes bulged out violently, and he screamed without an outlet, and fell to his knees with a muffled grunt, blood flowing down the corners of his mouth.

Pei Zhen...... It's the other way around. ”

His voice, which was like a whisper before he died, was not heard clearly.

In the snowy night, one after another screams resounded through the General's Mansion, earth-shattering and deafening, as if they had penetrated the layers of wind and snow in an instant and spread to the entire Zhongjing City, accompanied by a strong smell of blood, and went straight into the inner city......

"King Yonghuai has rebelled!"

"Oh no, Pei Zhen has led his troops to the Forbidden Garden!"

Strike!

Before the shout fell, a knife light swept through his throat, and the blood gushed out and splattered all over his body.

The man fell to the ground, glaring at his eyes.

The forbidden army a little farther away was coming with men and horses, and when they saw Pei Yan riding a horse in the blood light, they were stunned, and they retreated with a scream.

"Quick! Report to the Queen Mother, King Yonghuai has rebelled! ”

The cold wind howled through, rolling up the snow and residual leaves, and pouring into the gates of the Forbidden Garden.

One of the servants hurried into the inner sanctuary in a panic, and before he could speak, he fell to his knees with a pale face, panting and pouting.

"Report, report ......"

"Report to the Prime Minister, Queen Mother...... King Yonghuai, the opposite...... Led the army to the Forbidden Garden......"

Li Sangruo's eyes widened, he sat up straight, opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, and slowly leaned back, sat down dejectedly, sneered with a strained face, and looked at Li Zongxun.

"So, is Father satisfied?"

Li Zongxun snorted coldly, his eyes full of anger, "Where did he get the opportunity to rebel?" ”

Before his voice fell, he looked at Tang Shaogong sharply, and his eyes were extremely gloomy.

"The 100,000 troops of the Beiyong Army are stationed outside, and the 15,000 people who returned to Beijing with Pei Zhen are all in the camp on the outskirts of Beijing fifty miles away, and with more than 100 people in the guard battalion around him, how can they resist the siege of the 3,000 forbidden army? What's more, we are well prepared, set fire to the siege, and we should not be able to escape any of them......"

He glared angrily, staring at Tang Shaogong.

"Shao Gong said, how did Pei Zhen escape from the mansion and lead his troops to the Forbidden Garden? Could it be that he has three heads and six arms? (End of chapter)
