Chapter Forty-Six: He Came to Guard


The capital in the night is as bright as day.

People on the streets turned their backs, and many high-ranking families also fell into chaos.

The servants in the house walked around, inquired about the news, packed up their things, and held the sticks and knives to guard the door.

Although it was not as crying as in the street, everyone was in a panic.

Is it to flee or hide what is the latest news Ning Yan strode out, and Second Lady Ning hurriedly followed behind him.

"Master," she shouted, crying in her voice.

Ning Yan stopped and looked at her with a frown.

"What are you crying about," he said, "Don't blame Yun Zhao for not delivering the news earlier, it's already extremely difficult for him to protect himself." ” There was another pause.

"He ran away with the emperor, and it won't be because he is afraid of death, there must always be someone around His Majesty."

It is clear that this is not just about protecting the emperor.

Second Mrs.

Ning raised her hand to wipe away her tears.

"Of course I know, Yun Zhao was raised by me since I was a child, I don't know what kind of character he has" She choked up and said, "It's just you, you, you" "I'm going to get out."

Ning Yan said solemnly, interrupting Second Mrs.

Ning's words, "I didn't go out before, it was a matter of being loyal to the king, and if I didn't listen to the king, I would definitely defend and not retreat." ” "Then now Jun has run away."

Second Lady Ning cried.

"It's because Jun has run away now."

Ning Yan said, "I have to stand up for the way of the saints, for the life of heaven and earth, and for the life of the people." ” Second Mrs.

Ning raised her hand to wipe away her tears.

"You and the children are hiding at home, don't run around, at this time, the capital must not be chaotic."

Ning Yan said in a soothing tone.

Second Lady Ning cried and nodded.

"Master," she said, pulling Ning Yan's sleeve.

Ning Yan frowned.

"Don't cry and cry endlessly," he said.

Before he finished his words, Second Lady Ning took out a sword and handed it over.

"Master, you forgot to take your sword."

She said, "Although I am a scholar, since I have to defend the city, I still have to hold weapons." ” Ning Yan smiled.

"I forgot."

He said, reaching out to take it, "Then I'll go." ” Second Lady Ning nodded tearfully.

"There you go."

She said.

Ning Yan turned around with his sword and strode out, but when he walked to the door, he saw a group of people standing, this was the servants of the family, carrying wooden sticks, knives and guns in their hands.

Ning Yan and his wife couldn't help but be stunned.

"Daddy."

Ning Shiyi came out and said, "Let's go." ” Behind him were two other sons, the youngest of whom was only eight years old.

"Dad, let's go."

He shouted along, clutching a stick taller than himself.

"Eleven, what are you doing?"

Second Mrs.

Ning said, hurriedly pulled her youngest son over, and snatched the wooden stick from his hand.

"Mother, of course we are going to defend the city."

Ning Shiyi said, "Defending the country is to protect the family, and it is the responsibility of the husband." ” Ning Yan nodded.

"Okay."

He said, "Let's go." ” Ning Shiyi and the others responded with solemn expressions, and Shishilang was also going to follow, but he was stopped by Ning Er, and he couldn't help but make a noise.

"Fourteen, my brothers and I have gone, and only your mother, sisters, and daughters are left at home, and you have to stay at home to protect them."

Ning Yan looked at him and said.

Ning Shishilang nodded and puffed up his chest.

"Dad, don't worry, I have me at home."

He said loudly.

Ning Yan touched his head with a smile, the door opened, and the noisy cries on the street suddenly rushed like a tide, although he couldn't see the specific scene, but hearing it in the night was enough to make people's faces pale and frightened.

The door was slammed shut, and the servants who remained latched it one after another, and put sticks on top of it, so that the door was firmly protected by those who were inside.

But this solid door protects the people inside, and also the family members outside.

Second Mrs.

Ning held her youngest son in her arms and looked at the gate with tears falling like rain.

God forbid.

The noise on the streets flocked to the city gate, and the people who originally poured into the capital wanted to rush to the city gate.

Dragging the family with the mouth, pushing the cart to drive the horse, you cry and I shout, crowded and unpassable.

The gates were closed, which made the panic even more and the noise even louder, almost drowning the gates.

All the horses of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division dispatched swords, guns and whips, it was completely useless in the face of the surging people, where were the people afraid of this under the panic of death, and the panic condensed together like a snowball rolled bigger and bigger, crushing everything.

"Lord Ning is here" "Lord Ning is here" There were shouts from the crowd, the older the older the shouts, and the screams of the guards fought to drown out the noise around them.

The name Lord Ning is still very attractive, and gradually everyone looks back, and the crowd gets out of the way under the light of the torches in the night, and out of the way of the tall and thin man with a sword.

Ning Yan hasn't appeared in front of people for a long time, but this doesn't mean that the people have forgotten him, and he is even more famous than when he was an official before.

This was naturally due to the fact that he was dismissed for his opposition to the emperor.

The people may not understand the affairs of the government, and many times they don't care about right or wrong, for them, a person who dares to work against the emperor and does not hesitate to lose his official position is a person who is high-spirited and bright, and a person who is selfless and wide in his heart, and this kind of person is trustworthy and admirable.

This is also why the imperial historians like to impeach officials the most, especially the higher the fame and status, the more they like to chase impeachment, because it can improve prestige.

Ning Yan's appearance made the people quiet for a while.

"Your Excellency, your Excellency."

"Did the golden man call?"

They wept and begged and pleaded.

Ning Yan looked at them with a solemn expression.

"Whether the Jin people have called, there is no definite news yet."

He said, "But everyone also knows that the Jin people are not far from the capital, and they appeared on Jingdong Road before, so everyone should be prepared for the worst." ” The officials of the Five Cities Terracotta Division, who were slightly relieved by his arrival, suddenly became nervous, but the people were not more panicked by this dangerous warning as expected, but when they heard this, it seemed to be more reassuring than the whitewashed peace that the government blindly said in advance that it was okay and that the Jin people would not call.

"Then let's get out of town."

The people cried out, "Let's run for our lives." ” "It's really because of the danger, so you can't open the city gate now, and you don't want to go out of the city."

Ning Yan said in a deep voice, "Think about it, if you go out of the city and meet the Jin people in the wilderness, will it be safer than here?"

He said, gesturing to the gate behind him.

"It is at least surrounded by a tall, heavy, sturdy city wall."

The crowd followed his pointers.

The walls of the capital are even taller and stronger at night.

Ning Yan raised the sword in his hand again, pointed at the soldiers and officials of the Fourth and Fifth City Soldiers and Horses, and pointed to the city defenders who were draped in strict order on the city wall.

"There are also swords here."

It's not that everyone doesn't know this truth, it's just that they just want to escape in a panic for a while.

"Everyone, don't be impatient, there is a city with us, even if the Jin people call, we can protect everyone's safety."

The people fell silent, and those who surrounded and stormed the city gate slowly retreated.

"Everyone, please follow the arrangements of the government and don't surround the city gate."

Ning Yan said, putting his sword behind him, "I'll guard the city gate for everyone." ” After saying that, he strode towards the city gate, and Ning Shiyi followed behind him with his family.

Seeing Ning Yan coming, the people who were besieging the city gate finally got out of the way, and their expressions were a little calmer.

"Lord Ning is here."

"Yes, the court will make arrangements."

"The emperor is still here, how can he let the Jin people come in."

The sound of talking one after another made the front of the city gate noisy again, but this noise was different from the previous panic, but it was reassuring.

The officials of the Five Cities Terracotta Division came back to their senses, their expressions relaxed, and they began to direct and arrange for the people to disperse and let them retreat to different streets to rest.

The noise in front of the city gate faded, and the officers and soldiers above and below the city gate breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's good that Lord Ning is here."

The official on duty said with a frightened face, wiping his sweat with his sleeve, "Otherwise, this city gate will be washed down by the people." ” Ning Yan nodded at him.

"Needless to say."

He said, "Keep the watch in all directions." ” The official responded that the guards on the city gate were ordered to disperse, and the weapons in their hands were aimed at the dark night outside the city wall, because they were too nervous, and they didn't notice the gloom in Ning Yan's eyes.

His appearance temporarily pacified the population, but if At this time, in the imperial city, hearing the exclamations coming from the emperor's bedroom, the ministers who hurried to the palace to report and discuss because of the riots in the street could not wait any longer.

They were stopped in front of the palace gate for a while, and it was easy to move out of the previous exception, and there were old ministers holding the accessories and the like that they had gotten, so the forbidden army had to open the palace gate and let them in, and then they were stopped outside the palace by the eunuchs.

This can directly go to the morning court.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, it's not good."

They shouted and rushed in, but the voice stopped abruptly, and they looked into the hall in disbelief.

The curtain in front of the dragon bed has been lifted by the attendants who have come in, and the lights have also been lit, illuminating the empty dragon bed, and the bed is neat and tidy, without the slightest trace of sleeping.

Your Majesty "Your Majesty, it's gone," a minister muttered
