Spring dyed pear blossoms
Chapter 93
In the prime minister's mansion, Zhang Shuli listened to the report of his subordinates, but there was a sneer hidden on his face.Although Chu Xi's death was not what he expected, it was not a pity.
Chu Xi was the man of King Fucheng, but King Fucheng just wanted to use Chu Xi's hand to deal with him.Now he has a blood feud with King Fucheng, and keeping Chu Xi is also to fight against the general.Unexpectedly, the emperor helped him.King Fucheng's eyeliner around him was gone, like a blind man locked up in the mansion, nothing to be afraid of.
But King Liang withdrew from the capital with his soldiers and horses, because he wanted to see him fight the emperor so that he could reap the benefits of being a fisherman.
It's just that the emperor is no longer the child who didn't understand the world. The emperor has grown up, and the emperor wants to compete with these veterans.
Now, who is the bait, who is the fish, and who is the fisherman, it doesn't matter until the last moment.
Among the three forces, the emperor also had reinforcements from Xiliang, who assisted him to become a treacherous and cunning king. He withdrew his soldiers and horses from the capital to wait for an opportunity. Zhang Shuli, besides those disciples and courtiers who supported him, also had Chu Xi on hand. The soldiers and horses can be mobilized, nothing else.
To win, he can only wait.
King Fucheng was waiting for reinforcements from Xiliang to fight with his own people, and at the same time, he was also waiting for reinforcements from Xiliang to draw out the old fox King Fucheng.
So he besieged the palace, but did not attack by force, because he was afraid of giving Fucheng Wang Yuweng a chance to benefit.
Zhang Shuli held two walnuts and kept turning them.He said to his confidant in front of him, "Keep an eye on the gate of the city. As long as Meng Qiucheng enters the city, he will do it immediately. Before the reinforcements from Xiliang arrive, we must take the capital. Pass my order down and control the courtiers. Those who are willing to obey stay, and those who do not obey, kill!"
"Master Xiang, how should Master Shao deal with it?"
Zhang Shuli sighed slightly, Shaotong was his protégé, but in the end he became an old-fashioned old man who didn't know how to adapt.But Shao Tong is indeed a rare talent, Zhang Shuli thought for a while, "Isn't he loyal to the emperor? When the overall situation is settled, when the country of this great week changes masters, I see how long he can be stubborn. "
"Yes, my subordinate understands."
……
Since reuniting with Master Zhou Ayu, Meng Qiucheng changed to take the path.After changing three horses on the way, they finally arrived outside Chang'an City.
Once near Chang'an City, Meng Qiucheng faintly felt that something was wrong.She approached the city gate cautiously and waited for a whole day.
Master Zhou patted her on the shoulder, "Did you also notice something was wrong?"
Meng Qiucheng nodded, "The guards at the city gate are not soldiers from the city defense battalion, and they are strict in checking in and out. It seems that Zhang Shuli has already controlled the entire Chang'an City."
"The interrogation is rigorous, I want to force you to show up, and then get rid of you in one fell swoop. The Xiliang people have not come for a long time. Getting rid of you is tantamount to getting rid of the biggest expectation in the emperor's heart, forcing the emperor to be impatient. This time he must have set up an ambush here, we want to enter the capital, it is not that simple." Master Zhou analyzed.
Meng Qiucheng looked back at Ayu, "Ayu, how many people do we have?"
"The 2000 people are all protecting the emperor secretly according to what you said before." Ayu said.
"Is there a way to get in touch now?"
"No way, our people can't get in, and those inside can't get out. We can't communicate with each other."
Meng Qiucheng thought for a moment and said, "King Fucheng is under house arrest, and King Liang is out of the capital. Maybe Zhang Shuli's people are not the only ones under this city gate. We are only a few people now. If we force ourselves to break in, we will die. There is no other way now. Only the reinforcements dragged to Xiliang arrived."
Master Zhou stared blankly, "How to delay? Their target is you, and it will be difficult to get away after you show up."
"We have set off for many days, and the road has been delayed for a long time. At this time, the Xiliang army should have set off. Besides, Xiliang is adjacent to Dazhou. If the Xiliang army came from the official road, it would be much faster. Within three days , I believe the princess will arrive with the Xiliang army.
These few days are the key, neither Zhang Shuli nor Liang Wang will let go of this opportunity.After what happened to King Yong, they couldn't bear it anymore.The longer it drags on, the fuller the emperor's wings will be.If you want to succeed, it depends on who can get the first chance to make a move.Right now these people regard me as a thorn in their side, a thorn in their flesh, wishing to get rid of it sooner.It is also because of this that I can hold them back and drag them on for a few days.
By the way, what happened to Fuchaertai? "
Ayu paused, "Yu Hai and Lord Zhuang have made arrangements."
Seeing him hesitate to speak, Meng Qiucheng had a bad premonition, "Where's the dumb girl?"
Feng San held A Yu's hand, shaking his head secretly.But this move could not escape Meng Qiucheng's eyes.
"Sister Feng, at a time like this, you don't need to hide it from me."
Feng San stepped forward and took Meng Qiucheng's hand, and said softly, "I don't want to hide it from you, but don't think too much after you know it. The last time the dumb girl sent a message was the seventh day after you left the capital, and after that No news. Master Zhuang searched for many places, and even sent people to sneak into Fuchaertai's mansion. But the dumb girl and Ran Xue seemed to disappear out of thin air, and there was no news."
After Feng San finished speaking, he pressed Meng Qiucheng's arm again, "I know you are worried about her being murdered, but the servants of Fuchaertai's mansion confirmed that the dumb girl and Ran Xue escaped before Fuchaertai wanted to do it. Go out. Fuchaertai chased him for three days and three nights, and when he returned home, his complexion was ugly and he was injured."
Meng Qiucheng pondered for a moment, "Let Master Zhuang find the dumb girl no matter what, if he is born to see someone, if he dies..."
She didn't say the following words, and she didn't dare to say them.
"Don't worry, the dumb girl will be fine. As for Fuchaertai, he has been in frequent contact with Bei Jiang recently. Once there is a coup in the capital, the army stationed in Bei Jiang will go south directly. So these few days are indeed the key. I will be with you, so I can take care of you. For the rest, please ask Master Zhou to take care of them." A Yu said.
Master Zhou wanted to refute, but Widow Li stopped him.Master Zhou suddenly understood that this was no longer something he could interfere with.Everything is unknown right now, if there is an emergency, someone needs to take care of it here.
Feng San was worried at first, but now that Ayu was going to go on an adventure with Meng Qiucheng, she was even more worried.
Meng Qiucheng didn't say anything, just walked aside and observed the terrain near the city gate.Master Zhou and Widow Li also wisely made room for Feng San and Ah Yu.
After everyone around him left, Ayu held Feng San's hand tightly, looked at her tenderly, and stretched out his hand to embrace her in his arms.He had never acted so intimately in front of others, but today he looked at the woman in front of him with a bit of reluctance.
"When I come back, as long as I pass this hurdle, I will marry you right away."
Feng San nodded lightly in Ayu's arms, "When you come back, I won't think about those enmities any more. When the time comes, I will find a place with clear mountains and rivers, and you and I will die together."
Ayu hugged Feng San even tighter, smelling the faint fragrance in her hair, a smile appeared on his usually indifferent face.He kept nodding his head, "It is also the greatest joy in my life to be able to die with you."
Meng Qiucheng looked sideways at Ayu and Fengsan, his eyes were suddenly moist.Looking up at Qiuyue, it was icy cold to the bone, and there was no one to tell the soreness in my heart.
Jinxi, where are you?How are you now?
……
The sky was gloomy, and before the sun rose, three batches of defenders had already changed outside the city gate.Meng Qiucheng and A Yu reached under the gate of the city while it was still not completely bright.
Meng Qiucheng looked up and looked around the city gate. There was a group of people on the city wall, and he counted secretly. There were 12 people in total, holding guns in their hands.Behind these people stood ten archers, and a team of about 20 guards under the city gate.
She poked her head slightly, and was immediately pulled back by Ayu.
Seeing Ayu shaking her head, she had no choice but to give up the idea of drawing away the group of guards under the city gate.
Ayu pointed to the sky, "It's almost dawn, once the city gate opens, the changing guards will come."
Meng Qiucheng nodded, "After changing the guard, put on a disguise and see if I can sneak into the city."
Ayu agreed with her idea.
The two of them leaned against the wall and wiped some dust on the surface. Meng Qiucheng's clothes were too conspicuous, so he stole an ordinary cloth from a nearby farmer's house and put it on.
Just as the sky turned pale, the side door under the city tower was closed, and the gate was opened by the guard from the inside.Another team of guards poured out from the door, split into two rows and stood facing each other.
One of the guards held a portrait in his hand, and compared them to the few people who had entered the city.Impatiently waving his hands, "Go, go, next one!"
Meng Qiucheng thought for a while, pulled up his hair, and changed into a girl's bun.
Looking at each other with A Yu, the two inserted themselves among the people entering the city, one behind the other.
When Meng Qiucheng walked up to the guard, his hands were covered in cold sweat.
"Head up!"
Another guard on the side smiled and said, "I said, although this Meng Qiucheng is no different from an eunuch, he is still half a man after all, and he will never become a woman!"
The guard glared at the person who spoke, "What do you know? Mr. Xiang said that Meng Qiucheng was cunning, and none of the people sent along the way could kill him. So let's keep a strict guard on him, and no one can kill him." Let go."
The guard who spoke pointed to a child behind Meng Qiucheng, "Then, this child, do you want to check carefully?"
"Hmph, but I have to investigate every individual." After finishing speaking, the guard gave Meng Qiucheng a push, "Let's go, don't get in the way."
Meng Qiucheng bent over and nodded, and was about to walk inside the city gate.
Suddenly a voice called out in a neutral voice, "Meng Qiucheng!"
The two teams guarding the gate immediately drew their knives, looked at the people queuing up to enter the city, and became vigilant.
"Meng Qiucheng, it really is you." The woman, dressed in red, looked up at Meng Qiucheng who was about to enter the city gate from among the crowd.
When the guard holding the portrait heard this, although he didn't recognize Meng Qiucheng, he immediately rushed to Meng Qiucheng and said anxiously to the guards on both sides, "Close the city gate and no one is allowed in. "
All the guards rushed into the city gate, closed the city gate, and dropped the wooden pegs.The archers on the top of the tower immediately took their positions.
When the people heard Meng Qiucheng's name, they ran away in fright.Soon, there were three people left under the city gate.
Except for Meng Qiucheng and Ayu, it was the woman in red.very conspicuous.
Meng Qiucheng slowly turned his head and stared at the woman, his eyes were cold.Gritting his teeth, he said harshly, "Mrs. Wu!"
"I didn't expect the majestic Mr. Meng to be like this. Coarse linen clothes, women's attire." Luo Ying deliberately paused as she spoke, "It really looks like something you would do."
The author has something to say: After a happy weekend, it's a dreadful Monday, and I'm already looking forward to this weekend!
Cough cough, the clever little angel found out that the princess looks a lot like Concubine Chen, but she is not Concubine Chen's child.
Is it confusing, is it weird?
The suspense of the identity of the princess here will be revealed in the extra episode.
In addition, Chi Rao Rongyi has actually explained it in the article,
She had noticed early in the morning that the princess was unusual and knew that she had a purpose.
So the princess's episode, hhhh, you understand!
