sparse rain chrysanthemum

Chapter One Hundred and Ten

The last small half of the candle was quickly extinguished.Zhao Jun hugged the beautiful boy in his arms, and suddenly fell into darkness.

There were chaotic footsteps outside, and there seemed to be torches of stars in the distance.

Then there was the sound of stone slabs falling to the ground again, and several large stone slabs were lifted up by the sergeants of the team and thrown to the spear and arrow mechanism outside.

After the rain of arrows, all the sergeants walked over carefully stepping on the stone slab.

There are many people and strength, and the iron gate was quickly deformed by a few big hammers, and then pulled aside by a few extraordinarily strong ones.

All the sergeants rushed to the general holding torches, and looked at the general standing there with a dead face and lowered head holding the unconscious beautiful boy in his arms like a sculpture.When everyone shouted, the adults were all silent.

The sergeants suddenly separated from the two sides, and the handsome young man in the white shirt fluttering like a fairy came slowly.

When Du Ruo didn't wave his folding fan, his expression was unprecedentedly solemn.Walking up to Zhao Jun, looking at Su Yu in his arms, he couldn't help sighing.

Zhao Jun suddenly raised his head and asked, "Can he be cured in his current state?"

Du Qiao replied crisply: "It's hard."

Zhao Jun looked straight at him, clearly hoping that the other party was just making a big joke just now.

Zhao Jun still looked at him straight in the face, and said, "If even he can't be cured, who else can he..."

He failed to go down, the iron arm holding the beautiful boy trembled slightly.

He couldn't imagine his Xiaoyu living the rest of his life like this.

Du Ruo said seriously: "It's hard, it just means it's hard to cure, it doesn't mean it can't be cured."

There was hope in Zhao Jun's eyes, before he could open his mouth, the entourage beside him opened his mouth and said, "King Yan rebelled, and he has already led his troops into the palace, and it will be a while before your lord..."

Startled, Zhao Jun looked up at Du Ruo.

Du Ruo nodded and said: "King Yan's army and horses have already surrounded the palace heavily. He was still in the cave to rescue Brother Su and sent people to steal the tiger talisman but was robbed. But Du Ruo couldn't mobilize the troops with the tiger talisman, so he had to bother Zhao Sir, immediately enter the city to quell the rebellion..."

Zhao Jun still held Su Yu in his arms and didn't let go.

Du Ruo sighed: "Brother Su, it's better to be treated and taken care of than to be held in his arms..."

Zhao Jun finally handed Su Yu, who was holding on tightly, into his arms.Du Ruo reached out to take it, it was nothing, carefully hugged the beauty in her arms, and watched Zhao Jun lead the soldiers towards the outside of the cave.

Outside the cave, it was dusk.

When Zhao Jun, covered in blood, came out of the cave, several of his relatives rushed up and applied the wound medicine thickly on the wound.

Tore off a piece of the robe and tied it at will, Zhao Jun opened his arms, and several of his followers immediately put the whole set of golden armor on the general.

Zhao Jun, in golden helmet and armor, got on his horse.The horse's head and tail are more than eight feet under the crotch, and the whole body is covered with maroon fur like silk satin, which is really abnormal.

The horse neighed a long time.

Everyone held their breath.

The people and horses are dyed with a faint golden-red halo in the setting sun, dazzling the eyes, just like a horse...

Sitting high on the horse, Zhao Jun turned his head and saw the handsome young man in white shirt holding Xiaoyu in his arms and rushing towards his head...

Zhao Jun didn't say anything more, turned around, and said in a deep voice, "Go back to the city immediately, arrest the rebels, and quell the rebellion!"

Zhao Jun returned to the imperial capital with a tiger talisman in his hand. The general ordered thousands of elite soldiers to be dispatched immediately.

The armored warrior shouted loudly, and under the leadership of the General Protecting the Nation, he galloped towards the imperial palace on horseback.

Three hundred and twelve killers in Fenghuo Hall, ten monsters, and the corpses of a little emperor were all burned into coke in the raging fire.

At the same time that the last living person in the hall was scorched, the trace of Princess Jinning was also found.

The secret road leading to the outside of the palace has been sealed and destroyed by King Yan who knew about it and sent Zhang Jing and others.

Fifty dead soldiers under the princess guarded her master and fought desperately with the masters rushing from all directions.

People kept falling down, and people kept standing up in the pool of blood. Among the fifty loyal dead soldiers, none of them were willing to bow their heads and surrender.

Looking around, there are people from King Yan in all directions.

Eight of the fifty guards fell.The remaining 42 were more or less injured, but they still gritted their teeth, protecting the princess and fighting while retreating, retreating into the small side hall.

The several high window lattices in the side hall are all carved with intricate flowers and birds in gold, and the area is so small that it is impossible for adults to get in.

Several side doors have also been sealed for many years.The only main door that could be opened as usual was also locked tightly with a gold-plated door bolt carried by the guards around the princess.

In the blood-stained palace, a small side hall unexpectedly became the place where Wei Chu could barely be called "impregnable as gold".

42 guards surrounded the empress.Princess Jinning was sitting on the ground in a gorgeous dress, her gorgeous but blood-stained skirt spread out on the gold bricks, like a huge blooming lotus covered with spots of red.

The people in the hall were silent, and the deafening shouts and the sound of heavy objects hitting the door could be heard outside the hall.

Princess Jinning said solemnly: "I would rather die than suffer humiliation from such a despicable traitor. If the door opens..."

Wei Wei turned her head to face the most loyal chief guard: "I know what to do."

The hand of the chief guard holding the hilt of the sword trembled slightly. He knew that the princess wanted him to swing the sword at the empress at the last moment.Of course the chief guard is aware of the current situation, and he has never disobeyed the princess' orders.

He bowed his head at the moment, choked up and said, "Yes, princess."

Everyone was silent.The sound of knocking outside the door was obviously more urgent than before.

Zhao Jun, who was wearing golden armor, led thousands of elite soldiers to the palace gate, and soon beat up the rebels outside the palace gate, and ran away with their heads in their arms.

Zhao Jun personally commanded the battle, and led his troops into the palace without much trouble.

Outside the side hall, King Yan sat on the golden chair and personally urged his subordinates to hug the golden pillar and hit the closed door.

The sound of iron hooves outside was distinctly different from the sound of killing.King Yan's face changed, and someone rushed to report immediately: "Zhao Jun led the army into the palace."

King Yan suddenly stood up and walked back and forth a few steps, his face turned pale.

Zhao Jun rushed into the palace with his troops, fearing that the situation would be bad. If he really wanted to save the princess...

If Zhao Jun and Jin Ning join forces, the consequences will be disastrous.

King Yan walked back and forth a few steps and made up his mind.Immediately, he said loudly: "Zhao Jun colluded with Fenghuotang's killers to make peace at home and abroad. He not only killed the king, but also wanted to hurt Princess Jinning. The fifty guards around the princess were all traitors. They actually fled here to wait for Zhao Jun after killing the princess." When Jun arrives, I would like to ask for merit and reward... Rebellious ministers and thieves, everyone can punish them. Immediately set fire to the palace, so that the traitors in the palace who killed the princess will be buried in the sea of ​​fire immediately, and revenge for Princess Jinning!"

Everyone held their breath, and even if someone's face appeared strange, they would soon return to normal.After all, I have been with such a master for a long time, very theoretical at all times.

More vegetable oil was poured on the side hall, each torch was ignited, and was thrown, drawing a strange arc in the air, and ignited immediately with the vegetable oil poured on the side hall.

King Yan's loud words outside the hall were clearly heard by the people inside the hall.

The 42 guards raised their heads together, as if fire was about to burst out of their eyes.

Princess Jinning has always been calm and calm, but she couldn't help trembling with anger at this moment.

Jin Ning stood up suddenly, and said in a trembling voice: "Despicable, villain..."

The 42 guards stood up in unison, and they all bowed to the princess and said: "Please give the order, Madam Rong, and wait to go out to fight."

Chief Guard: "Fight to the death with that despicable villain!"

However, it was already too late, and when the guards drew their swords and rushed to the door, the huge door bolt was already too hot to grasp.The deadbolt is already glued to the door.

A lot of vegetable oil and a lot of torches are about to melt the entire gilded side hall.

Zhao Jun led his army and horses invincible, and rushed to the depths of the palace, besides the smell of blood, he could also smell the smell of burnt corpses.The Golden Palace, which was originally a good place, has been turned into decay in the raging fire.

Looking around, in addition to the human corpses curled up into a ball by the fire, there are the charred bones of huge beasts.

An old eunuch was scrambling and trying to escape, but Zhao Jun saw it and recognized it as the chief eunuch Zhang Jing, and immediately ordered him to be brought here.

The old lady listened to the general's order, and she didn't need anyone to take it, but she rolled and crawled to the general's horse.

Zhang Jing raised his doughy white face, weeping and wailing, "Master Zhao... woo woo woo, not only did King Yan kill the king himself, but he also committed the crime of regicide on Fenghuo Hall... and set it on fire. In the hall... woo woo woo... Returning the princess, she was escorted by those fifty loyal guards to the Qingxin Hall in front, but was surrounded by the prince and his people... woo woo... Mr. Zhao, hurry up and save the princess! I'm afraid of the princess if I walk late..."

Zhang Jing was crying so much that his nose was full of tears, Zhao Jun watched coldly, and when he heard the second half of the sentence, he said, "Take care of Mr. Zhang..."

Looking in the direction of Qingxin Hall, the thick smoke billowed.He shouted: "Send the water dragon team immediately." Pegasus ran towards the Qingxin Hall.

Zhang Jing was held up by several sergeants, and he was crying loudly: "Master Zhao, you are a great Zhongliang who escaped from the hands of the prince..."

King Yan heard the shouts outside and knew that the situation was over, and at the same time that the Qingxin Hall was burning, he also ran towards the direction of the secret path.

In his panic, King Yan forgot the cruel fact that the secret passage that only a few people in the royal family knew, and which was specially designed for those in the know to escape outside the palace, had just been destroyed by his own order.

When King Yan led a large group of people to the obviously destroyed secret passage, he was dumbfounded, and after a while he remembered the glorious feat he had just made the white dough-faced chief eunuch do.

Unable to escape from the secret passage, the only way to lead the people is to bite the bullet and rush to the nearest corner door.

Of course, the nearest corner gate was guarded by heavy soldiers. In a fierce battle, most of the guards around King Yan escaped, and the remaining half were either killed or injured.

Those aliens who were hired with huge sums of money were not fools. They knew that the general situation was over, and they all went to find their own way of life.

There are only a dozen or so seemingly loyal guards left beside King Yan.

Surrounded by their prince, a dozen guards rushed to the depths of the palace in desolation and panic.Encountered soldiers and horses on the road, holding up shining weapons to arrest the prince.A dozen or so guards barely resisted for a while, and most of them ran away again.Even Yu Yanwang himself did it himself, but was met with cold arrows.There are three cold arrows on each leg and arm.

Relying on his familiarity with the terrain in the palace, King Yan escaped from the injury, ran here and there, and managed to get rid of the pursuers, and then he saw that there were only three guards around him.

The others all ran away in twos and threes on the way.

The injured King Yan rushed headlong into the sealed silkworm room with the three remaining guards.

Qingxin Hall was engulfed in a sea of ​​flames, thick smoke was billowing, and nothing could be seen inside the hall. Princess Jinning couldn't help coughing.The rest of the guards were forced to endure.

The high temperature and thick smoke, everyone is just struggling to support.

The head guard finally found a jade bottle of clear water in the corner, tore off the corner of his clothes to wet it, and covered the princess' mouth and nose.

Princess Jinning felt a little better, and said, "If there is still water, everyone should share some."

Nobody moved.

Forty guard brothers all knelt down at the princess's feet: "This subordinate is incompetent and failed to protect the princess."

A few children, there was a little choking in the voice.

Jin Ning smiled in the thick smoke, "How can you blame us?"

The fire outside seemed to be approaching.

Princess Jinning still bent down to help her many brothers, and said in tears, "Jinning never thought that all the brothers would be willing to follow around at the last moment..."

Without going any further, he suddenly raised his head and listened to the movement outside.

hooves...

Jin Ning exclaimed in surprise: "It must be Zhao Jun who came to rescue the soldiers from outside. It must be Mr. Zhao leading the troops to escort..."

The one who came was of course Zhao Jun, who led a team of water dragons to the front of the Qingxin Hall that was engulfed in flames. Hundreds of huge water dragons sprayed into the flames.

The fire was extinguished quickly, and Princess Jinning and 42 dead soldiers around her were quickly rescued.

Zhao Jun got off the saddle and knelt down on the ground: "Your escort came late, you deserve death!"

Princess Jinning hurriedly bent down to help the general, looked up at the general who was two heads taller than her, and said with a sob: "I never thought that I would see Mr. Zhao again..."

Everyone exclaimed: "Princess!"

Princess Jinning swayed and fainted in the general's arms.

Three guards ran to the silkworm house, two turned around and ran away, only the last one entered the airtight silkworm house with the prince.

King Yan's hair was disheveled, three cold arrows were still stuck in his body, blood was all over his legs and arms, he no longer showed his usual nobility, his expression was full of panic.

The trembling voice of King Yan in panic: "Why did the two of them follow and run away? Could it be that they are going to inform Zhao Jun?"

The head of the most recent young guard: "Those two are really treacherous."

Yan Wang was dripping with cold sweat and blood. In a blink of an eye, he walked around the silkworm room for more than ten times, scratching his hair: "What should I do? I can't run out again. Is it really going to fall into the hands of Zhao Jun..."

Finally standing still: "Scholar can be killed but not humiliated, this king would rather die, at least die decently..."

With a crackling sound, the last young guard immediately took out the flint and tinder, and started lighting the fire with a crackling sound.

King Yan asked in surprise, "What do you want to do?"

The guard raised his head and wondered, "Didn't the lord want to commit suicide?"

The flames had already appeared during the conversation, and the gauze curtain next to it immediately ignited, and the tinder in his hand was also thrown on the corner of the prince's blood-stained robe.

The guard turned and ran after firing, and locked the silkworm room door with a click.

The gauze tents in the silkworm houses are extremely flammable, and in a blink of an eye they are engulfed in a sea of ​​flames.

The young guard outside the door continued: "My lord, although you were not born to be an emperor, at least you will die like an emperor... Throughout the ages, how many emperors have been burning fire..."

The guard had studied in a private school for several years, so he knew such allusions.

King Yan threw himself on the door, which was locked outside.There were many injuries on his body, severe pain and panic, but he couldn't hit it, and said in a rage: "Sure enough, the last one is the most treacherous..."

The people outside didn't answer him, they lifted their feet and ran with a thud.

The last one who followed Yan Wang was of course the most treacherous.

The previous two were not smart enough, and when they saw the prince's last refuge, they rushed to report.

The last one is the smartest, and he followed until the last moment, "according to the prince's will" to ignite the fire.Taking advantage of the prince's mother just getting started, she ran away.Hurry to report.

You know, reporting the news of the prince's death is much more creditable than simply reporting the news of the house where the prince is.

The author has something to say: I seldom checked the information before and made a common sense mistake.The main purpose of this revision is to remove the "empress".

Crawl away in sweat. 1
