Cross the Sea in the Red Chamber

Everyone's eyes were on Situ Yi who was stepping up the stairs step by step, but Jiang Yuan was different, he was staring at the sergeant closest to him.Seeing the sergeant rubbing his eyes from the smoke from the charcoal fire, Jiang Yuan threw the soup pot on the case with the charcoal stove at him.The pot was full of boiling hot soup, and there was still burning charcoal in the charcoal stove. This throwing directly spilled the soup and charcoal. Jiang Yuan is still very bad, so he can throw it away, but why? Splashing the soup charcoal into a fan shape, there was not even a place to dodge. Not only did he splash the sergeant he was eyeing, his face was scalded, but even the sergeants standing on both sides of him couldn't dodge. It's all bad, and the pain rang out one after another for a while.

Before the injured sergeants could react, Jiang Yuan snatched the horizontal knives from the waists of the two sergeants in front of him as soon as he stretched out his hand, and set up the table next to him to block Situ Sheng who was standing beside him, and threw it to him. With a horizontal knife to protect himself, he himself grabbed the leg of the table next door with his left hand and used it as a shield to protect himself. He drew out the horizontal knife and lunged towards Situ Yi who was on the steps.

The sergeants on both sides hurriedly bent their bows to intercept, but although the arrows were sharp, they couldn't penetrate the heavy table case inlaid with gold and silver.The sergeants on both sides drew their knives and slashed at him. Jiang Yuan directly used the big table in his left hand as a weapon, and swung it horizontally. He flew out, and Jiang Yuan had already jumped on the imperial steps.

Situ Yi originally wanted to catch the emperor as a threat, but he was not as fast as Jiang Yuan. Jiang Yuan rushed forward and kicked him as soon as he stretched his legs. Before he turned over, a cold light flashed The horizontal knife is already on the neck.

The sergeants saw that Jiang Yuan had a table for protection, and shooting arrows was useless at all, and they were afraid that the arrows would accidentally hurt Situ Yi, so they drew their swords and rushed over.Jiang Yuan smiled slightly, grabbed the pistachios on the plate on the imperial case and threw them down.Think about how Xu Zhu dealt with the enemy in Tianlong Babu, you can know the fate of those soldiers. Under Jiang Yuan's divine power, those seemingly fragile nuts are like darts made of steel. Wherever they hit, there will be blood holes If he hadn't learned hidden weapons and was not so good at aiming, and he didn't have Xu Zhu's aim in the novel, he could have knocked down all the soldiers rushing to the ground in just one blow.

Jiang Yuan dropped the table case in his hand that was used as a shield, dragged Situ Yi, hid himself and the emperor behind him, and used him as a meat shield, with the horizontal knife in his hand, a light slash on his neck resulted in a gash of blood.This Lian Wang Situ Yi was stiff, he didn't make any sound when he saw the blood, but none of the soldiers below dared to come forward when they saw this scene, they were afraid that Situ Yi would die and they would be completely reduced to rebellious officials and thieves. room.

"Yes, don't move, don't move obediently." Jiang Yuan raised his eyebrows, and said to the sergeants and traitors below: "You better not force me to do something to the fifth prince with a slip of my hand, he If there are three ups and two downs, the fate of you people will be hard to say."

"Even if we don't move at all, we will still be dead in the future. Don't listen to him, the third prince and the family of Lord Jianghou have already been killed by the first prince's subordinates. Even if the fifth prince is fine, they won't let me wait! If you don't fight, you will die, if you fight, you may survive, and you will save yourself from the dragon!" A traitor shouted loudly, and he was about to draw his sword and charge upwards.Jiang Yuan unhurriedly picked up the pistachio plate on the imperial case and crushed the plate into several pieces, then picked up a piece of broken porcelain and threw it at the head of the traitor who rushed over. Porcelain pieces are much heavier and sharper than light pistachios. This shot was very accurate and shot directly into the traitor's left eye socket, shattering the skull behind the eye and entering the cranial cavity. The man shook a few times and then fell down. , From the wound in the eye, the red, white and white brain matter in the cranial cavity can still be seen.

Jiang Yuan's action immediately made the sergeants who were instigated by the traitors afraid to make any moves. Yes, there is a chance to kill Jiang Yuan and make a great contribution by rushing forward, but who knows if he will die in his hands?Jiang Yuan's fighting power is too strong, whoever rushes up first will die!No one in this world wants to die unless they have to. The so-called death is nothing serious. The most important thing in a person's life is indeed his own life!

Jiang Yuan smiled, and said loudly: "You don't have to worry, the Third Highness and my family members will be fine, Prince Rui's Mansion is heavily guarded, there are no thousands of people who can't even break through the gate of Prince Rui's Mansion, If that King Yong and this King Lian have the ability to send thousands of people to attack Prince Rui's Mansion, how can you be the only ones standing here? Doesn't he want to keep people to guard the city walls and gates? So you can Don't worry, as long as you guys stand here honestly, you will definitely have a chance to survive, otherwise... when the people from the Gyeonggi Daying get the news and arrive, you will all die!"

"As long as you are all killed, will the Gyeonggi camp, which has lost its leader, avenge you and be called a traitor?!" Another traitor below shouted loudly.

Situ Sheng sneered, and his voice was very gloomy, "You can try to see if they will avenge me! It doesn't matter if I die, and Jiang Yuan's death is not a big deal, but as long as the children and grandchildren of the Situ family live One came down, do you think you will still have a way out by then?!"

The man didn't dare to act rashly when he heard it. If he insisted on attacking, the emperor, third prince, and fourth prince would all die here, but the fifth prince who fell into Jiang Yuan's hands would not survive either.And outside the imperial city, there are still several heirs of the prince and Yizhong County King, the son of the former prince Situ Ang. No matter who among them survives, they will be supported by the Gyeonggi camp outside the city. Whoever can ascend to the throne and inherit the great rule, the first thing to do must be to kill them, a group of rebellious officials and thieves, and avenge the royal family members who died here.

Even if they could escape, where would their families and relatives go?Wouldn't they all be killed by the new emperor to vent their anger!Moreover, the martial power of Lord Jiangyuan Jianghou is absolutely beyond imagination. If he does his best, he may not be able to protect the third prince and escape. Once the third prince escapes from the capital, they will lose the threat to the Gyeonggi camp. Our army is bound to be in chaos.At that time, the capital couldn't stop the tens of thousands of elite troops in the Gyeonggi camp. If it really reached that point, he would have no choice but to bow his head and wait for the whole family to be executed.

Situ Yi saw that the soldiers and traitors below were disregarding his own life, his face immediately became pale, and he was no longer as calm as before.Jiang Yuan felt a little disdainful in his heart. If you are afraid of death, don't pretend to be like a hero who would rather die than surrender. He thought that if you dare to rebel, you are already defying life and death. In the end, you are not afraid of being stabbed in the neck.He used Situ Yi as a shield, and led the old emperor down the stairs step by step to Prince Rui's side, his movements were like strolling in a garden, as if he didn't pay attention to the enemies surrounding him at all.

It was only half an hour from treason breaking into the palace to capturing Situ Yi as a hostage, but after several accidents, everyone felt that the time was so long.The night was deep, and everyone felt sleepy and extremely weak. Before they could think about it, they suddenly fell down on the ground and fell asleep. In the whole hall, only Jiang Yuan and Situ Sheng were left standing there unchanged.

Situ Cheng glanced at the wide-open palace door and broken windows and frowned, "Fortunately, there is no wind tonight, otherwise even the scent of incense would not help."

Jiang Yuan left Situ Yi behind, lifted the old emperor up and sat on a chair, and said, "It's a blessing to be able to fascinate all these people. If it weren't for the hot pot at the palace banquet tonight, the hall The place is full of smoke, and the burning incense may have been discovered long ago. Your Highness, the so-called gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, so please don't take risks like this in the future." He raised his head and looked at Situ Sheng. It turns out that the other party has no regrets at all. It seems that if there is a chance in the future, he will still take risks...

Now that we know that the boss and the fifth are going to jump over the wall in a hurry, it is of course easy to infer the time of their rebellion.Undoubtedly, the Winter Solstice Banquet is the best time. At this time, all the powerful and powerful officials in the capital are here. The high-ranking officials tried their best to force the emperor to sign the imperial edict, and even a coup d'etat could be completed without disturbing the city.

According to Jiang Yuan's idea, the conspiracy of Situ Xu and Situ Yi was directly exposed, but Situ Sheng disagreed.If there is no fact of military remonstrance, even if they have plans, the emperor may not do anything to the two princes. Doing and attempting to do it are two different things. It's just that they were locked up in the big prison of the clan's mansion. If the emperor let them out after a moment of soft-heartedness, these two people would still continue to stir up trouble.It's better to wait for these two people to really do something. At that time, countless high-ranking officials will testify. Even if the old emperor intends to soften his heart, these high-ranking officials will not agree.

But if these two masterminds are to be paralyzed, Situ Sheng and Jiang Yuan must attend the Winter Solstice Palace Banquet. The two of them will not be there.But if they arrive, if these two people do something to Situ Sheng, or kill him, wouldn't all previous efforts be wasted?Jiang Yuan resolutely disagreed, but unfortunately he still couldn't get rid of his immediate boss and eldest brother-in-law in the end, so he could only entrust his wife, children, and children to Princess Liu, summoned Jiang Yan's family to Prince Rui's residence, and sent someone to secretly protect Concubine Jiang Shu in the palace. Then he accompanied Situ Sheng to the banquet.Hehe, Prince Rui's Mansion is heavily defended by hand/mines and landmines, not to mention Situ Xu and Situ Yi's troops, even a well-armed elite soldier may not be able to attack, he still has time to worry about Situ Sheng's safety Bar.

When the rebellion started, Situ Sheng and Jiang Yuan secretly threw enough Mixiang into the charcoal stove, and took the antidote themselves.Unexpectedly, the door of the hall was wide open, and the window was broken again. It took so long to make everyone faint.If it hadn't been for Jiang Yuan's sudden change and the capture of Situ Yi to delay time, none of them would have been able to escape unscathed this time.

Time was running short, and it was unclear whether there was any hidden rebellion among the courtiers, so Jiang Yuan and Situ Yi simply tied up the courtiers and rebels with ropes.When the group of sergeants rushed in, they brought a lot of ropes, presumably to control the courtiers, but they didn't expect to be tied up by these two people equally at this time.Of course there were Situ Sheng's people here, but those who came were all civil officials, and the generals were not in the palace. Instead of waking up these civil officials and making them panic, it would be better to keep them in a coma.In a palace change, if only the people under Prince Rui's command are safe, how will these civil servants under Prince Rui's command gain a foothold in the court in the future?So it's better to feel sorry for them.

Looking at the clothes of these comatose sergeants, one can tell that they are all soldiers guarding the former court. The eldest prince must have sent someone to control the Qianqing Gate to let so many soldiers in. It is estimated that the guards guarding outside are either from him or King Lian. It has long been controlled by this group of rebels.At this time, the harem has been locked and heavily guarded. There should be nothing wrong inside, but there are still many traitors in the palace, and they don't know if they will break in suddenly, so they must leave here as soon as possible.

Situ Sheng took out the antidote and fed it to the emperor along with the wine, but the old emperor woke up after a while.The old emperor shook his head, looked at the unconscious people all over the place, and then at the two people who were the only ones standing. What does the emperor who is not old and confused still not understand?The so-called praying mantis catches the cicada, and the oriole is behind, but the oriole does not know that the hunter is aiming at it with a slingshot under the tree, and the third son is the one who has the last laugh.But his three sons have calculated well, even if he has a grudge at this time, so what?The eldest brother and the second child are dead, the fourth child can never ascend the throne, and the fifth child has become a rebel, the third child is the only one who can be chosen by him and the courtiers. Alas, he claims to be smart on weekdays. As a result, none of the five sons was sure, maybe he was really old...

Situ Sheng briefly explained the current situation, and said, "Father, now we have to leave Qianqing Palace for a while, and..."

The old emperor interrupted him with his hand, and took out half of the tiger talisman from his pocket, "I will give this to you, and you and Jiang Yuan will lead troops into the city to put down the rebellion."

Although Situ Sheng can mobilize the soldiers of the Gyeonggi camp without the Tiger Talisman, it is inevitable that he will leave a story for others, but it is different with the Tiger Talisman in his hand. The defenders of the nine gates of the city.Among the generals of the nine guards, King Yong could only control three of them at most, Situ Sheng had three under his command, and the remaining three were the old emperor's confidantes.Before the winter solstice, Situ Sheng had already reminded his subordinates to take precautions, but he was not worried about losing those three city gates. The old emperor's cronies were not so easy to be controlled, which meant that at least half of the city gates had not yet been opened. Taken over by traitors.

Situ Xu's original idea was probably to control the ministers and the emperor first, force the old emperor to sign the edict to pass the throne to him, and then obtain the Tiger Talisman to take over the defenders in the city and on the wall.It's fine if the Gyeonggi camp doesn't move, even if the Gyeonggi camp is really approaching the city, Prince Rui's subordinates who don't have the Tiger Talisman will turn into rebels instead.He also held Prince Rui as a hostage in his hand, and he was not afraid of this 10,000+ army at all, so would they still dare to attack the city?

It's a pity that the situation is reversed now. It's not King Yong and King Lian who hold the military talisman, but King Rui. Situ Xu is dead, and Situ Yi has become their prisoner. How can the little troops in the hands of King Yong and Lian be the opponent of hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers and strong generals!

Situ Sheng supported the old emperor, while Jiang Yuan carried Situ Yi on his back. Maybe the Fifth Prince would be needed as a hostage later on, so he couldn't be placed here.A group of people walked out of the gate of the palace, and the guards of the Qianqing Palace had become corpses all over the ground, and all the rebellious soldiers were lying on the ground, and there was no one from the Qianqing Gate to the Jiaotai Palace.The old emperor asked Situ Sheng to help him to the Jiaotai Palace not far from Qianqing Palace. There was actually a secret passage in that palace, and he was placed in a safe secret passage. Only then did Situ Sheng and Jiang Yuan leave in peace.The emperor is already old, if he was 20 years younger, he would not hide himself and let his son and ministers go down to suppress the rebellion, but what about now?He is just an old man who is getting more and more regretful about his life but is getting more and more lifeless.

With Situ Yi on his back, Jiang Yuan took Situ Sheng directly to climb the palace wall, relying on his high martial arts skills and full rock climbing ability.The few people that King Yong brought in were probably guarding the Qianqing Gate, and they couldn't defend the surrounding palace walls at all.Jiang Yuan made a simple flying claw out of the bronze utensils in the hall. After connecting the rope, he tossed it lightly and hung it on the palace wall. Seeing Situ Yi, he quickly climbed onto the wall, and then pulled up Prince Rui who was tied with a rope around his waist.After overturning three city walls, it is not far from the South Sansuo. Situ Cheng estimated that his good brother can only completely control the Qianqing Gate and the Taihe Gate at most. Well, there may be his people in the Meridian Gate, but they are more remote. There is no way to completely control Donghua Gate.

Sure enough, the two of them led Situ Yi around the Nansan Institute and the Wenhua Palace, and went all the way to the Donghua Gate without encountering any serious obstacles. The few traitors and soldiers they encountered occasionally were all solved by Jiang Yuan. Before it could make a sound, it became a dead soul under the knife.With the Tiger Talisman and Token, Jiang Yuan and Situ Sheng left Donghuamen smoothly, and got two horses from the guard.

The two broke their horses and raised their whips, and they didn't bother to go back to Prince Rui's mansion, so they went straight to the east gate of the outer city. The guard there was under the command of Situ Sheng, and it was convenient to call the Gyeonggi battalion into Jingping when they left the city. Rebel!This time they want to wipe out the rebellious forces!
