Chapter 32: Monarchs and Ministers (II)


When Yang Minzhi went to see a doctor with Ma Cheng, a guest knocked on the door of the Xichang Marquis Mansion."

Xianxi Town" Xiao Luan looked up and down at the man sitting at the bottom."

It was the local people who confessed that they had seen a man who looked like King Yulin.Weichen followed the vine and found the inn where they stayed.The confessions of the shopkeeper and Xiao Er are no different, they are a group of four, two men and two women, all of whom are well-dressed, dragon and phoenix.Among them, the man who looked like the King of Yulin was seriously injured and spent nearly a month in the town.A woman waits undressed, as if she were his wife and concubine.According to the locals' description of her appearance, it is very likely that Xiao Zhaoye's wife He disappeared on Baohua Mountain.The other two were proficient in medical skills, and they were the healers invited by the Ho family. ”The man in court clothes talked eloquently, and there was a hint of anger between his eyebrows, this person was Xiao Yan, the waiter of the Yellow Gate.Since the beginning, Xiao Zhaoye broke Xiao Yan's deception and secret envoy Pang Yuan, and there was a problem between Xiao Luan and this former henchman.After the change, it was never reused for him, but it was put aside and assigned a false position.Knowing that Xiao Yan and Xiao Zhen have a common enmity, Xiao Luan wanted him to secretly investigate Xiao Zhaoye's whereabouts in order to prevent future troubles.Listening to the insiders in the palace, blood flowed all over the golden palace that day, and he saw Xiao Zhaowen kneeling in front of Xiao Zhaoye's corpse with his own eyes, and he was at a loss.Xiao Luan always thought that this Xiao Zhaoye was dead nine times out of ten, and Xiao Zhaowen was afraid of disaster, so he secretly sent someone to bury his brother's body privately.Sending Xiao Yan to inquire about this matter is just a step by step way to empty his expedient measures, can he really find out the clue "Where are those four people at this time" Xiao Luan clenched his palms into fists and asked in a deep voice."

About ten days ago, they left Xianxi Town."

Xiao Yan's eyes were hateful, "Wei Chen thinks that with Xiao Zhaoye's temperament, he is bound to make a comeback to calculate the time, and he is very likely to be in Jiankang City" "Very good" Xiao Luan sneered, "Just let him see, how can they, the orthodox royal family, never turn over" Xiao Yan's face slipped with doubt: "When is the Hou Ye going to do it" Xiao Luan glanced at it lightly, disapproving: "Tomorrow." ”Xiao Yan knew that the Marquis of Xichang, who had ordered the world by the Son of Heaven, had crossed the river and demolished the bridge, and was abandoning his chess piece step by step.It's just that for now, he still needs to temporarily cling to this old guy for a while."

Why is Hou Ye so anxious" Xiao Yan frowned, and said tentatively: "Wechen heard that the Six Emperor Uncles who are living in the people are now living in your mansion" "It's not bad to get the Six Princes, this Hou is like a tiger with wings, Ben Hou has been planning for a long time, and it is the best time to send troops at this time and change the dynasty" "Forgive Weichen bluntly said that Hou Ye is inevitably anxious" Xiao Yan said anxiously, "Don't say that at this time, the people still have luck with the political achievements of the Xiao brothers, and it is this Sixth Emperor Uncle who is also difficult to distinguish between friend and foe" "Zixiu and Xiao Zhaoye have a hatred of killing and taking his wife.With the same hatred of the enemy, why not" "Have you forgotten that among the four people in Xianxi Town, there is a man who is proficient in medical skills" Xiao Luan slowly stroked his beard and said hesitantly: "Do you think that person is Zixiu" "But guess that Uncle Er Liuhuang also entered Beijing a few days ago, if you say that he returned from Xianxi Town with King Yulin, it is okay. ”"Even so, they forced Ben Hou to send troops at this time, wouldn't it be that the power of self-destruction of the royal family has already been held in my hands, and the current emperor is just an empty shelf, what ability do they have to compete with Ben Hou" "The three holes of the cunning rabbit, the dog jumped over the wall in a hurry, and the Hou Ye should not be careless" Hearing this, Xiao Luan was silent.At noon, an army held high the banner of the Jiangcheng garrison under Xiao Luan, coupled with the holy decree, a young general under the city gate pinched the horse's belly, and led the troops into Jiankang City.His silver armor reflected the warm winter sun, his wide helmet obscured half of his face, and the white halberd on his back shone brightly.As the commander of the troops drove in, the general in front caught a glimpse of a peasant woman standing in the corner of the wall inside the city gate, her dark complexion seemed to be the result of years of labor under the scorching sun, and only a pair of eyes were surprisingly clear and bright.Under the helmet, a smile appeared on the corner of Xiao Zhaoye's mouth.In order not to arouse suspicion, the 5,000 Lance Sparrow Army first slowly went to the garrison camp in the south, and gradually divided the troops in the left and right streets along the way.By the time they passed by the Ximing Gate of the Imperial Palace, there were already 1,500 soldiers and horses in each of them and separated from the large army and went to Waguan Temple and Zhongshu Province.Around the palace from northwest to south for most of the week, more than 1,000 elite soldiers quietly hid in the alleys, only patrolling.And the remaining thousand soldiers and horses were divided into two roads, detouring left and right, and the sword pointed directly at the Xichang Marquis Mansion east of the palace.Xiao Zhaoye's palm holding the reins was faintly sweating, he looked ahead, and the success or failure of the horse, at this time, He Jingying, dressed as a peasant woman and gray-headed, was already sitting in the small tea shop outside the Xichang Marquis's mansion, and poured warm tea soup informally.This big demeanor, firstly, is to play the role of a good peasant woman wholeheartedly, and secondly, she has walked a long way, and she is really thirsty to see the gate of the Xichang Marquis Mansion obliquely from this angle.The people on the road were in a hurry, and no one realized what was going to happen here in a quarter of an hour.A pot of hot tea went down, and a little bead of sweat appeared on the woman's forehead, and when she wiped it with her hand, there was a black mark on the back of her hand, and a piece of smoothness was revealed on her forehead.She couldn't care so much about it now, He Jingying had to wipe the dust on her face on her forehead, and her eyes were still looking in the direction of the Xichang Marquis Mansion."

Click, click, click" neat footsteps come and go.She turned her head to look, and a black-armored army at the end of the street was rushing towards the gate of the Xichang Marquis Mansion, and the encirclement was about to begin She clenched the tea bowl in her hand.No, no, this is not the perennial hidden mountains of the Lance Army, most of the armor of the Lance Army is gray and black or bronze, and the shoes are silent soft boots, where did this black armor army come from and after a while, the black armor army with a strength of about two thousand surrounded the Hou Mansion, but there was no movement in the house, He Jingying's heart sank This black armor army is a guard urgently transferred by the Marquis of Xichang, could it be that he and a thousand Lance Arrow Army are on the way to come, but at this time, there are two thousand black armor troops outside the house plus one thousand government soldiers in the courtyard, There is no chance of winning at all, and attacking the Xichang Marquis Mansion now is tantamount to throwing himself into a net, but if Xiao Luan sees through today's deployment, he is afraid that Jiankang has become a cage, and it will be difficult to fly.He Jingying was suddenly flustered, and her chest jumped suddenly, as if she saw that the building was about to collapse.If she didn't calm down, she caressed her heart and calmed down.Xiao Luan was not aware of the movements of the Bird Army.If Xiao Luan wanted to completely annihilate the Spear Bird Army, he could do it as early as after 5,000 soldiers and horses entered the city, and how could he wait until the soldiers came to the gate of the mansion, which only increased the variables His transfer of troops this time was mostly due to listening to some gossip and adding some guards, so as to be prepared.In this case, as long as the war in the Xichang Marquis Mansion cannot afford it, the ambush soldiers in the other three places will not move, and they will promptly issue an order to withdraw the Lance Bird Army.If the news reaches Xiao Luan's ears, I am afraid that I can't wait to get out of the city, and I will become a turtle in an urn.Moreover, the attack on the Xichang Marquis Mansion is divided into two ways and encircled from the back, even if one road is successfully notified, the other road of soldiers and horses has alarmed the black armor army outside the mansion, and it is also a life of nine deaths, can not go to ventilate and report the news, can it be that seeing that there is not much time left for him to die, she can't sit back and wait for the death In the small tea shop outside the Xichang Marquis Mansion, a slender figure suddenly stood up.The light outside was so strong that the people in the tea shop couldn't see the man's face clearly.I saw her stumble out and blend into the golden sunlight.The shopkeeper and the guests all looked at the back of the peasant woman in a daze.After a while, the shopkeeper patted his head, "Dare to eat the overlord meal for me to chase" Although it was early winter, the cold wind when running wild still made my cheeks hurt.When the shopkeeper chased him out first, he saw that the woman was crazy, and she broke into the mansion of the Marquis of Xichang regardless of it, and was thrown down the steps by the guards in front of the door."

Bold and cheap" The green silk was spread out in the pushing, and the woman who fell to the ground seemed to feel no pain, and shouted viciously: "Xiao Luan Xiao Luan came out of the palace, you have the courage to usurp the throne and kill the king, don't you have the courage to come out and face the people of the world" "Crazy woman stop" A guard in black armor stepped forward quickly, kicked heavily on the woman's ribs, kicked the woman on her side, and fell to the ground.Despite the heavy pain in her abdomen, the woman still raised her head and shouted: "The bold palace is the queen of the day, and you dare to pull it out and cut it off" "Hmph" The guard smiled contemptuously, "Get out of here, otherwise you will die without a place to bury" The woman was stunned, and shouted regardless of it: "Xiao Luan's wolf ambition, the following is guilty, killing the king and seizing power, you can't die well" "You are looking for death" The guard made a move with his right hand, and the three black-armored soldiers immediately stepped forward and added fists and feet to the woman on the ground.She only felt dizzy and her body rolled uncontrollably on the ground.She was unconscious in pain, and every heavy kick didn't seem to come at her.The mouth still shouted intermittently: "Xiao Luan dares to do it, don't you dare to admit it, get out of the chaos and thieves, everyone will be punished" At this time, the door of the mansion opened slightly, but it was the housekeeper of the Xichang Hou Mansion who saw this scene at the door and hurriedly entered the garden to report."

You're holding two pieces of cloth here, and you're going to Tailor Li at the east end" "It's not the head of the house who pulled two pieces of cloth, I'll make a few clothes." ”"Hey, you wait, there are people over there who are making trouble in front of the Xichang Marquis Mansion, and they were caught by the officers and soldiers, and the flesh and blood are blurred, and the people are weird, don't go over" "Ah, there are still people who dare to break ground on the head of Tai Sui these years" Xiao Zhaoye, who was riding a horse, frowned, there were officers and soldiers in front of the Xichang Marquis Mansion, and I don't know how many officers and soldiers there were, but it would hinder the big plan According to the original plan, once there is a change, the other route army will be diverted to the Prince's Mansion and wait for the transfer.Anu is afraid that he is already waiting outside the mansion, and nothing will happen" You don't know, the woman who made trouble is a madman, she keeps calling herself the queen, and she also accuses the Marquis of Xichang of seeking power and usurping the throne and not being beaten to death" "Hey, I heard that the former queen, that is, the sister-in-law of the current emperor, is missing, could it be her" Xiao Zhaoye only felt that his head was hit in an instant, his hands and feet were cold for a while, his body shook fiercely, and he almost fell off immediately.His pupils dilated suddenly, as if he wanted to see through everything behind the heavy house, and she was safe and sound when she saw him."

You," he said, his voice weak, "take the soldiers to the prince's mansion and wait for me." ”"The last general obeys" He turned over and dismounted, and before he could stand still, he ran forward without looking back, as if he was chasing something, and as if he was fleeing from something.Only he knew that it was an instinct
