If there is divine help in the dark, Gu Luan carried Xiao Lingjin on his back in the Huguo Temple along the hazy moonlight, a little gloomy, the path under the shadow of the ancient cypress and green pines twisted and turned, and he unexpectedly came to the drainage outlet under the root of the temple wall. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Although there was a thick wooden fence blocking it, perhaps because of its age, Gu Luan bent down and stretched out his hand to pull it gently, and the wooden fence fell down, so he leaned down against the ground and drilled out of the narrow drainage.

Outside, there is a shallow ditch washed out by perennial drainage, and the inside and sides of the ditch are covered with dense dead grass and thorns. Just as Gu Luan felt that the surroundings were quiet, and there was no sign of an accident, and he was just about to suspect that the voice of the Eighth Emperor Brother that Shi Cai heard in the room was an illusion, suddenly, there was a sound of Suo Suo not far away, and then countless black shadows emerged from the woods and shrubs next to him.

"God bless, let Jin's nephew not make a sound. ”

Silently praying in his heart, Gu Luan plunged headlong into the dense withered grass and thorns in the drainage ditch. Ignoring the pain from the thorns on his wrists, ankles, and even the wounds on his face and neck, his body pressed tightly to the ground, moving forward little by little.

Soon, Gu Luan heard the screams from the temple, shouting for killing. Immediately, the sky-high firelight came, covering the hazy moonlight and reflecting the artemisia grass and thorns in front of him.

Gu Luan crawled forward with his hands and feet, his eyes were already full of tears, and his heart was dripping blood all the time.

Although he knew that the eldest emperor, the third emperor brother, the fifth emperor brother, the sixth emperor brother, the tenth brother Gu Yun who accompanied the spirit in the Huguo Temple, as well as the eighth emperor's sister-in-law Concubine Qin and others, it was difficult to survive the disaster, but Gu Luan still prayed silently in his heart, praying that the gods would protect them.

If it weren't for Xiao Lingjin on his back, if it weren't for the fact that he had just received the warning from the soul of the late Eighth Emperor Brother, and there was a lot of meaning in the warning, Gu Luan really didn't want to escape alone. In her consciousness, she always thought that people were still coming to her, and it was she who had affected all the royal brothers, royal brothers, and imperial sisters-in-law.

It's just that this time Gu Luan guessed wrong.

The black-clothed man who came to attack Huguo Temple, although he also had the purpose of capturing Gu Luan alive, was no longer the whole purpose. Just like on the fifth day of the first lunar month, he killed the eighth prince without hesitation in Woyun Temple, and now these people no longer care about what royal relatives, what princes and grandsons, and what royal power.

What Gu Luan couldn't imagine was that the capital at this time was also stormy, and there were also murderous sounds, and the fire was shining in the sky.

The common people did not know what was going on, and the fighting that broke out in the middle of the night spread to the whole capital in the blink of an eye, and everyone closed their doors and windows and trembled.

In particular, the people who were close to the inner courtyard of the palace, even if they were closed, were still tragically hit by the flying disaster, and the people who were awakened from their sleep by the sudden fire ran out of the door in panic and came out into the street, either dying under the random arrows, or being trampled by the galloping war horses and died.

Ning Yunju, who has just been promoted to the lieutenant general of the Imperial Forest Army, although he is only in his forties, has already had more than 20 years of military experience, especially in the more than ten years of the Shuntian Festival, from the initial partial general to the Sanpin Festival, he has never seen any kind of battle during this period, but he has never seen such a sudden battle without warning tonight.

"My lord, I can't contact Xiangye anymore. ”

On weekdays, he likes to dress up as a civil official, but at this time, Zhong Liqun, who was wearing a helmet and armor, had already been stained red by blood. Even he couldn't figure out whether the blood on his body was his own or the enemy's.

"Leave me alone, you must ensure the safety of Xiangye and the palace. ”

"General Ning Xiao is fighting fiercely with the enemy who is attacking the noon gate of the palace. At present, several other palace gates are still in the hands of the Imperial Forest Army. It's just that the military aircraft department has been broken by the enemy, and Xiangye doesn't know where to go. ”

"Look, go find it right away. ”

"Yes. ”

After Zhong Liqun turned to leave, there were less than three hundred personal soldiers left around Ning Yunju. I know very well in my heart that this bit of personal soldiers will not help at all, even if it is sent out, in the face of the enemy who is mixed with less than a percent of martial arts masters tonight, it can only be the fate of being slaughtered.

Although his father, Ning Zezhong, the right prime minister, received news in advance that the officers and soldiers of the eldest brother Ning Yunchong's Bingzhou Jiedu Mansion were less than twenty miles away from the capital, two hours had passed, and there was still no movement outside the lost West City Gate.

Ning Yunju has been looking forward to the arrival of his eldest brother's Bingzhou soldiers and horses, so he can lead the only remaining 300 or so personal soldiers around him to rush out, and after converging in one place, he will go to the noon gate to relieve his nephew, the deputy capital of the Royal Forest Army, Ning Tianjue's siege.

"Daddy. ”

Looking at Ning Xiaoqian and Ning Xiaokun, the two sisters who suddenly rushed into the Yamen of the Imperial Forest Military Governor's Mansion, disheveled, covered in blood, and swaying, Ning Yunju immediately asked sharply:

"Why are you here? What's going on in the house, what's going on with the old lady?"

"Daddy,......。 ”

Ning Xiaoqian's already red eyes suddenly shed strings of tears, choked up, and couldn't say any more.

"Father, grandmother, mother, and aunt have all passed away, and the people in the mansion have fled, and the entire mansion has long been razed to the ground. ”

Hearing Ning Xiaokun's words, Ning Yunju only felt a pain in his chest, opened his mouth and spurted out a mouthful of blood, his eyes were full of flowers, his body was weak, and he collapsed into the chair.

"Daddy—. ”

Ning Yunju, who woke up faintly amid the shouts of Ning Xiaoqian and Ning Xiaokun, asked infinitely desolately:

"Where are the bones of the old lady and your mother and aunt?"

"Due to the large number of enemies, my sister and I could not move, so we had to hide in the cellar in the back garden for the time being. ”

"Daddy, where's Grandpa?"

"Just now, Zhong Liqun came to report that the military aircraft department has been broken by the enemy, and grandpa does not know where to go. ”

After Ning Xiaokun heard this, he turned around and was about to walk out the door.

Xiao Kun stopped. ”

"Daddy?!"

"Now that the capital is gone, the outside is full of enemy soldiers and horses, if your uncle's soldiers and horses from the state and the other three states can't arrive within half an hour, the palace will not be guaranteed. If it was not bad as expected by the father, there must have been some accident with the originally arranged four-way soldiers and horses, otherwise it should have arrived a long time ago. ”

"Well, Daddy, we have to find Grandpa. ”

"Xiao Kun listen to me,"

Ning Yunju carefully looked at the two daughters in front of him, who had already exhausted his physical strength, and listened to the shouts of killing coming from the street outside, which were getting closer and closer, and he no longer had the spirit of the past.

"The two of you immediately put on ordinary people's clothes and go out of the city in the chaos, and no matter what you encounter along the way, go straight to the small fence courtyard in the west of the city. In this situation, there is only Xiao Pengju, the leader of the martial arts alliance there, to lead the entire martial arts to participate, and there may be a glimmer of hope. Moreover, Wu Zheng also needs to be guarded there. ”

"Daddy, we will never leave you. ”

"Xiao Kun, Xiao Qian, now you must put your personal life and death aside, and you must desperately find reinforcement in order to save your grandfather, your father, the court, and the world. ”

"But,......。 ”

"Daddy, let my sister go out of the city alone, I'll stay with Daddy. ”

"With the current situation of the two of you, you may not be able to rush out when you join forces, and only let Xiao Kun go alone, with no intention of moths fighting the fire. (To be continued.) )
