"Why don't you put out the fire!" Zhang Ji yelled.

Zhang Jun stopped and said, "Someone must have seen it outside, so why waste that effort, hurry up and collect treasures and leave." ”

Zhang Ji's eyes widened and said, "In this way, let Sima Pi go."

Zhang Jun said: "If there are three times more manpower today, great things can be accomplished, but now it is the will of God, each family in Yuzhang has private soldiers, and they must not stay for a long time, and leave quickly." ”

The Zhang brothers ordered that the men in black no longer kill wantonly, but instead broke into various palaces and looted.

Wei Ji hid behind the grass and waited nervously for a long time, but she was really tired, so she simply sat on the ground to rest.

Sima Pi also sat on the ground, the two were very close, he squinted at her, only to see that she was dressed in a red dress, stained with blood, embarrassed and messy, but this color made her skin more and more white, no wonder someone called her Yulang behind her back.

Wei Ji noticed his gaze and turned her face sideways, "What's wrong?"

Sima Pi said coldly: "It smells of blood, take it off quickly." ”

Wei Ji also felt that the smell of blood on her body was gone, so she wrinkled her nose and sniffed it twice, and untied the clothes of the waiter outside.

Sima Pi looked away, and then reacted again, what could be avoided from this.

Wei Ji shoved the clothes of the inner servant deep into the grass, looked down at his clothes, and there was a lot of blood on them, which was only slightly better than the outer clothes, so he could only endure it.

Smoke billowed from the outer courtyard of the palace, and the place should be clearly visible.

Wei Ji glanced out and said, "Yuzhang City should have noticed that something is wrong, and it will be here soon." ”

Sima Pi frowned and said: "These Yuzhang scholars only know poetry and articles on weekdays, and they don't know whether the soldiers have combat power. ”

Wei knew that today's Assassins were highly skilled and well-versed. Jiangyou is the most serious place in Chongwen and light martial arts. No wonder he had doubts.

Wei Ji said: "The number of assassins is insufficient, and they won't stay for long." ”

Sima Pi bowed his head, he also knew this very well, if it weren't for the lack of manpower, there would not be so few people guarding the periphery of the palace, so that they would have a chance to escape.

There was a chill between his eyebrows, and he pondered for a while, and said, "Zhang Jun Zhang Ji." ”

Wei Ji said: "When His Highness is out of trouble, he can arrest them and punish them." ”

Sima Pi snorted and said, "I'm afraid that they will flee north soon." ”

Wei Ji thought to herself, even if the reinforcements arrived and Sima Pi ordered the pursuit, it would not be as fast as their escape north, and the assassin and the guardian were not there, and the Zhang brothers chose to do it at this time. But he still comforted: "As long as His Highness is safe, he can do things again in the future." ”

Sima Pi looked at her, suddenly the corners of his mouth curled, and said, "Yudu is very handy to pretend to be a woman." ”

Wei Ji's heart fluttered, and she hurriedly said: "It's all for the sake of survival, Your Highness must not make fun of it." ”

Sima Pi reached out and pinched her chin.

Chapter 93: After the chaos

Wei Ji was slightly stunned, ducked back, and the back of her head was scraped twice by the bush, and then retracted.

Sima Pi saw that the bush branches were next to her snow-white neck, rubbing against her skin with a faint redness, which made his throat inexplicably tight, but his mouth sneered: "These Qiang defeated generals really have little knowledge, and they can't even distinguish between men and women, and they are not unjust at all. ”

Seeing that he didn't have any suspicions, Wei Ji felt a little relieved, and quickly changed the topic: "I don't know how long it will take for Luo Xiong Deng's family to send troops here." ”

Sima Pi looked towards the palace and frowned, "I'm afraid an hour is not enough." ”

Wei Ji also knew that the local scholars had lived a comfortable life for a long time, and they lacked dangerous experience, so even if they supported the palace, they might not be able to do it quickly. She let out a sigh of relief, and could only continue to hide and wait.

Sima Pi's expression was cold before, but then the smoke in the backyard spread, almost covering him for half a day, and his face gradually lost expression, but there was still a deep haze hidden in his eyes, revealing some real emotions.

Outside the palace, the black-clothed man on horseback ran back and forth twice, and from a distance, it seemed that he had carried a lot of things out and placed them in the carriage.

Wei Ji was worried that this scene would anger Sima Pi, so she secretly glanced at him, and sure enough, she saw him with a gloomy face.

If it weren't for the fact that there wasn't much room in the bushes, she would have wanted to stay away.

After waiting for an unknown amount of time, Wei Jiao had a sore back, gently moved her hands and feet, and changed her position. I came to the palace early this morning to decoct medicine, and encountered such an incident, her body was almost to the limit, a little relaxed, and she felt uncomfortable all over.

Sima Pi saw her secretly reaching out and beating her calf, and asked, "Sore leg"

Wei Ji made an "um" sound, knocked twice more and withdrew her hand.

Sima Pi looked at her slender wrists and calves, and suddenly said, "I had a lot of strength just now, and I can still stone people to death." ”

Wei Ji remembered the sunken face, her face changed slightly, and she took two deep breaths to suppress the uncomfortable feeling, "I'm also in a hurry." ”

Sima Pi didn't know what to think, and showed a hint of a smile, "The first killing"

Wei Ji listened to his tone, and for some reason felt a little bad.

Sima Pi said: "Everything is the most difficult for the first time, and it is also the most difficult to forget, you must not remember too clearly, and always think about it in the future." ”

The more he said this, the picture in Wei Ji's mind became clearer, and his face became difficult to look at for a while. She suspected that Sima Pi said this on purpose, and he was depressed, which made others uncomfortable.

Outside the palace, there was the sound of a group of horses' hooves moving away, and Sima Pi's hand holding the hilt of the knife clenched.

Until the sound of horses' hooves disappeared completely, it should be that the Zhang brothers had already left with the people, Sima Pi thought for a moment and said, "Go out." ”

Wei Ji nodded, and emerged from the grass.

Sima Pi patted his robe, and saw that the guard's hair was scattered by the branches and leaves, and the clothes on her body were also stained with blood everywhere, messy and messy, and she looked very pitiful. Sima Pi was slightly stunned, thinking of coming out of the palace all the way, although she was afraid, she was extremely tenacious and decisive. When he bumped into the man in black, he led the man with his back to the door, creating a chance for him to hit with one blow.

Sima Pi's heart softened for some reason, he raised his free hand and patted her shoulder twice, without saying a word, turned around and strode towards the palace.

The firewood in the outer courtyard of the palace was all burned, the heat wave was rolling, and it was impassable, Sima Pi stiffened his face, carrying a knife to go around, at this time the sand and dust on the mountain road rolled, the horses' hooves roared, and the hundred and ten knight guards galloped, followed by a long dragon-like team, which was the guards trotting on the road.

Sima Pi and Wei Ji observed from a distance for a while, and finally put their minds at ease, the people who came were dressed differently, and there was also a team on the road, which at first glance was a patchwork of the private army of the Yuzhang City Scholar Clan. One hundred and ten knights soon came to the gate of the palace, and when they saw that the open gate was not good, they shouted the names of each family, and after a while, the surviving chamberlain came to the door, crying and telling them what had just happened.

The leaders of these private armies are the three families of Luo Xiong and Deng, among which Luo Hong mainly gives orders. When he heard the methods of the assassins in the palace, his expression changed suddenly.

Sima Pi is the closest to the throne among the imperial princes, and if something really happens in Yuzhang, the local scholars will definitely not be able to get out of it. Before gathering private soldiers to come to the palace, Luo Hong and the others had already made bad plans in their hearts, but they didn't expect the situation to be so serious. Luo Hong immediately ordered people to enter the palace and divided their troops everywhere, some went to put out the fire, and some found out the survivors in the palace. Soon found the princess Wang Mu Zhi and the concubine Ruan Jue, who had just been incorporated into the palace, as well as some maids scattered inside.

Wang Muzhi waited for a long time in a remote hall with his guards and maids, just because those palaces were abandoned for a long time and there was no money, and the Zhang brothers leaked it when they searched it, so that the group was saved without damage. When Wang Muzhi heard that Sima Pi was gone, his face turned pale and he almost couldn't stand.

The guards waiting at the door shouted, "Your Highness has been found." ”

Everyone immediately followed the sound and looked, only to see Sima Pi and Wei Ji walking into the main hall, looking tired, and there was no clean place on their bodies.

Wang Muzhi ran forward with tears in his eyes, took Sima Pi's hand, Ruan Jue had already cried into tears, whimpering "Your Highness" in his mouth, and also ran over, as if he saw that Wang Muzhi deliberately avoided it, so he stood on the side and cried into a tearful person.

Sima Pi patted Wang Muzhi's hand, nodded slightly, turned to Luo Hong and said, "It's too late." ”

Luo Hong knelt on the ground and pleaded guilty.

Sima Pi asked people to immediately prepare pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and issued an edict to the local government in Jiangzhou to intercept the Zhang brothers to go north first. In addition, troops were sent to guard the palace. The private soldiers brought by Luo Hong and others quickly searched all over the palace, carried out all the dead maids and attendants, and cooperated with the inventory of the lost treasures and treasures in each palace.

When Wei Ji entered the hall, she looked around, and saw Jiang Yu standing in the corner, the two looked at each other, and Jiang Zhen also looked relieved and nodded. Wei Ji was completely at ease at this time.

Sima Pi quickly made many arrangements, and everyone took the order and left. He turned his gaze and saw Wei Ji, frowned, and said, "What are you doing standing still, why don't you go and change your clothes quickly." ”

A faceless chamberlain immediately led Wei Ji away, went to a palace room that had just been cleaned up, took out a new set of clothes, and another servant brought hot water, Wei Ji changed his clothes after freshening up, rested in the house for a while, and asked the chamberlain if he could leave, and the chamberlain shook his head and said he didn't know.

There are too many people dead in the palace now, there are no usual rules, and many servants are at a loss.

Wei Ji thought about asking Luo Hong about the situation, there were a lot of messes to clean up in the palace, but these had little to do with her, she was tired and hungry, and she just wanted to go home and rest quickly.

A voice came from outside, "Your Highness, please Wei Xiaolangjun come over." ”

The author has something to say:

I'm too sleepy today, let's get a little fatter tomorrow Thank you to the little angel who voted for me during 2023-01-24 07:49:45~2023-01-24 23:59:23~

Chapter 94: Throw it out

The sky was getting dark, the lights were lit early in the palace, and several lives died in the palace where Sima Pi originally lived, stained with blood everywhere, and the treasures inside were all looted by the Zhang brothers. Wang Muzhi ordered the maidservants and maids to quickly clean up a palace room near the south.

Sima Pigang talked with several families who sent troops from Yuzhang City, promised to commend them, and called the surviving staff members of the study to appease and discuss the future. Send these people, and the chamberlain came to report the casualties in the palace and the loss of gold and silver treasures. A series of events made Sima Pi feel heavy and pale. However, there is also some good news, Fu Bao was stabbed twice, but he was not in a key position, and he was not worried about his life. The chamberlain said: "Fu Bao just said that he wanted to come to meet His Highness. ”

Sima Pi's face softened slightly when he heard this, and said, "Let him recuperate from his injuries well, and then come to serve when he is ready." ”

The waiter answered, and then heard a report from outside the door, "Wei Xiaolangjun is here." ”

The chamberlain raised his eyes and looked at Sima Pi, there was no expression on his face, and said, "Let him in." ”

Wei Ji thought about it when she came, and immediately mentioned the matter of resignation. Sima Pi's injuries are all healed, and today she came to report in advance, and she went through such an ordeal, no matter how you calculate it, it is a credit, and it can always be written off with the incident that kicked him by mistake before.

As soon as Wei Ji entered the door, she didn't speak yet.

Sima Pi pointed to the pen and ink on the low table and said, "Come here, I said you write." ”

Wei Ji sat down and listened to him: "The rebel general Zhang Jun and Zhang Ji attacked the palace in Yuzhang, Jiangzhou on the third day of the eighth month......

Sima Pi called Jiangzhou's soldiers and horses, this was a report to Jiankang, although he did not strictly specify who it was for, but it should be extremely important in the royal family. After he finished speaking, Wei Ji put down the pen and checked the words on the letterhead for errors and omissions, Sima Pi took it and read it, and asked Wei Ji to record some on his behalf, all of which were the number of dead maids and maids in the palace.

Wei Ji was shocked while writing, the damage caused by the attack of the Zhang brothers was really amazing. Fortunately, Qi Gongming, whom she knew, was going to Zhao Mansion to listen to the lecture today and escaped this catastrophe, you must know that the staff and scribes in the palace study also died five this time, and they were all caught and hacked to death by the man in black when he was dodging.

After all the records were completed, the chamberlain reminded on the side, "Your Highness, it's time to eat." ”

Sima Pi bowed his head and said, "Take it." ”

He glanced at Wei Ji again and said, "You are also with you." ”

Wei Ji was quite surprised, as far as she often did some clerical work for Sima Pi these days, from morning to noon, she was never called to eat together, only Fubao sometimes prepared pastries and fruits for her.

The chamberlain came in with a basin of handkerchief, and after washing her hands and drying herself, she sat down on the seat. Soon vegetables and soup were delivered from outside, and a table full of people was placed. The maidservant moved neatly to distribute the vegetables, and when she put down a plate of fresh fish, she said, "This is cooked by the Ruan family himself, please taste it for Your Highness." ”

Sima Pi picked up a chopstick and took a bite, said a word of reward, and the maid bowed down when she heard this.

Wei Ji thought that Ruan Jue was unscathed in this attack, and she could take advantage of the lack of manpower in the palace at this time to cook and show her face in front of Sima Pi, this toughness and wrist were really unusual, which made her a little more concerned. was looking down, and suddenly there was a fish with chopsticks in front of him, which was sandwiched by Sima Pi.

She was surprised and said, "Thank you, Your Highness." ”

Sima Pi said: "I haven't seen you so restrained in my usual life, why, my tongue was eaten together"

Seeing that he seemed to be in a better mood than before, Wei Ji put down the bowl and said, "Your Highness, I left home early this morning and haven't returned, my family should be worried, I ......"

Sima Pi said: "Family, your brother is not going to suppress bandits"
