Ten lives and nine deaths, what to fear
Sudden! Nangong Jingnu rushed out of the yard like a madman, Qi Yuxiao shouted "mother" and followed, Nangong Sunu, Nangong Shunv, Lu Zhongxing and others, also followed Nangong Jingnv and ran out.
At this time, Qi Yan and Nangongda had walked a long way, and there was no sound from the hall, but Nangong Jingnv carefully thought about Qi Yan's past behavior and personality, and she knew that Qi Yan was definitely not making a fuss. People, the other party must have smelled something dangerous, and they made their own decisions before they had time to discuss with themselves!
Here, Nangongda and Qi Yan had already walked around the corner, and saw a thousand soldiers of the imperial forest with sabres and bows and arrows marching along the palace wall towards the mourning hall under the guidance of Nangongda's henchmen.
Ganquan Palace, the emperor's sleeping hall.
The palace where Nangong lets stop the spirits is the core and deepest part of Ganquan Palace. To reach this place, you need to pass through three palace walls and three palace gates. Outside each palace wall, there are side halls with different functions. There are imperial guards patrolling the palace roads. Every palace gate is guarded by guards. The guards patrolling the Ganquan Palace are divided into four groups, three groups are fixed, and one group is mobile. And each group is divided into seven shifts, the patrol time of each shift is two hours, only twelve hours a day, in other words: Ganquan Palace's defense has no dead ends, and there are no gaps between guards changing shifts.
However, the guards in front of them crossed the layers of blockades and rushed to the deepest part of Ganquan Palace with equipment. There was only one answer: Ganquan Palace was surrounded.
A gleam of light flashed in Nangongda's eyes, and he rounded his cane and slammed it on Qi Yan's body. The latter clenched his teeth and took it abruptly, and found the right time to raise his arm and clamped Nangongda's cane, aiming at Nangongda's good leg kicked heavily.
Nangongda's center of gravity shifted, and after being kicked like this again, he lost his balance and fell to the ground.
At the same time as Nangongda fell, he shouted: "Fall the arrows!"
An archer had long since aimed at Qi Yan with a bow, and received an order from Nangongda: With the sound of "whoosh", several arrows shot out of the air.
Nangong Jingnu felt a colicky pain in her heart and staggered and ran.
The Imperial Forest Army uses cross arrows. Once they are shot, they cannot be pulled out. The blood will flow along the bloodletting tank until the arrow is taken out.
At the same time that Nangongda shouted to release the arrow, Qi Yan also rushed to the side, "whoosh, whoosh" several times, and the arrow passed the place where Qi Yan had just stood.
Nangong Jingnu suddenly saw several arrows flying past the corner in front of her, her feet softened, and she raised her hand to cover her mouth tightly.
Qi Yuxiao: "Mother!" Nangong Jingnu turned around, held Qi Yuxiao in her arms and covered her mouth: "Go back quickly and tell them to close the palace gate, your fifth uncle... No, Nangong Da rebellion."
Qi Yuxiao's eyes widened, he nodded, Nangong Jingnv slowly let go of Qi Yuxiao, the little guy gave Nangong Jingnv a deep look, and ran away!
Lu Zhongxing was the second to arrive. He didn't expect that a big man of his own could not outrun Nangong Jingnu: "What happened?" Lu Zhongxing asked.
Nangong Jingnu lowered her voice and said, "I saw several arrows flying past here just now, I guess it's the fifth brother who rebelled, take the eldest sister, the second sister and the people who are with you back, and close the palace gate from the inside. , and then you find a way to dispatch the patrol camp outside the city, no matter who it is, in short, it is the teacher of King Qin!"
The last gate of Ganquan Palace is said to be made of thousand-year-old diamond wood. The last palace wall of the palace, the interior is surrounded by three-inch thick iron plates, the iron plates are more than three feet into the ground, and two sides of bricks are built on the outside, which is decorated to look like a palace wall. This is also the reason why Nangong had to live here after the former Emperor Shang and Concubine Wan were killed by Lian Lu Quan.
Lu Zhongxing grabbed Nangong Jingnu's arm: "I see, let's go!"
Nangong Jingnu stood there and refused to move: "Go, help me take care of my family."
Lu Zhongxing was in a hurry: "What about you!"
Nangong Jingnu: "I want to stay and find Yuanjun!"
Lu Zhongxing stared at Nangong Jingnu in a daze, and a complex emotion surged in his heart, which was mixed with bitterness and emotion.
This is the girl I was obsessed with when I was young, and now she is able to be alone, and she is not afraid of life and death to be with her consort.
If I could marry her in the first place, why would I go looking for those vulgar fans
Lu Zhongxing took a deep breath. At this time, Nangong Sunv, Nangong Shunv, and some children who ran after their mothers, and the ministers who were very trustworthy also came.
Nangong Jingnu glanced at her eldest sister, then her second sister, and said to Lu Zhongxing, "Brother Lu, take care of my family."
Lu Zhongxing's eyes were red: "Be careful yourself."
Nangong Jingnv turned around, but Lu Zhongxing slashed the back of Nangong Jingnv's neck with a knife.
Nangong Jingnu's body softened and she fell forward.
The sisters of the Nangong family called in unison, "Quiet girl!"
Lu Zhongxing rushed forward with a vigorous step, picked up Nangong Jingnu against his shoulders: "Nangongda rebelled, let's go back!"
Speaking of which, he ran ahead, and everyone followed behind in horror. No one asked, "Where's Qi Yan?"
After Qi Yan dodged the first wave of arrows, Nangongda hurriedly walked in the direction of the Imperial Forest Army with a cane. Qi Yan climbed up from the ground and knocked the person to the ground with a flying jump. The two scuffled together. place.
The thousand imperial guards were still less than 300 paces away from them. Because the distance between the two was too close, Nangongda didn't dare to order anyone to let go of the arrows. He just fought with Qi Yan and shouted: "Guard!"
During the rolling and flying, Qi Yan's clothes were dirty and her hair was messed up. Fortunately, although Nangongda was a man, he was lacking in his body and half of his body could not be used up, so Qi Yan gradually gained the upper hand. .
Qi Yan raised her fist and hit Nangongda's face firmly, then straddled Nangongda's body, and finally had the opportunity to draw the dagger from the boot.
This dagger was the poisoned dagger that was used to threaten Nangong Rang that day. Qi Yan and Ding You had learned a lot of pharmacology in the first few years of Wuminggu. Although he dared not speak of healing and saving lives, the development of a few pairs was fatal. The poison is still ok.
The late emperor was mourned, and all the mourners had to disarm their sabres, but no one thought that Qi Yan had hidden a dagger!
Since Nangong Rang's death, Qi Yan's dagger has not left his body, but has been hidden from the cuff to the mouth of his boot. Just now, Nangongda's crutches have the advantage, and the dagger has the advantage after getting close.
The crashing sound of "Crash" sounded in her ears. Qi Yan was panting but didn't even bother to lift her head. She held the dagger and shook it in front of Nangongda's eyes. The blade of the dagger radiated a cold light in the sunlight. , revealing a blue-purple color.
Qi Yan put the dagger against Nangongda's throat: "I've poisoned this dagger, and seeing the blood seal the throat, as long as it rubs a little bit of flesh, the Daluo Immortal can't save it!"
Qi Yan squinted, brought the dagger an inch closer, and said coldly, "Let them stop!"
Nangongda swallowed his saliva and spread his hands on either side of his head: "Qi Yan, don't mess around!"
Qi Yan: "Let them stop immediately, otherwise I will be frightened, and with a shake of my hand, everything will be over."
As Qi Yan pressed the dagger down again, Nangongda could already feel the chill of the dagger.
Nangongda shouted: "Stand down! Don't move!"
Nangongda's confidant raised his hand: "Stop!"
Qi Yan hooked the corners of her mouth and raised her head, only to see that the overwhelming Yulin army was less than ten steps away from her, and the overwhelming difference in numbers gave people a feeling of suffocation.
Nangong Da's confidant shouted: "Archer prepare! Quickly let go of my highness, or I will turn you into a hornet's nest!"
Qi Yan: "Oh? Is that so?" After speaking, she pressed the dagger down a bit, Nangongda's body trembled, and his voice changed in fright: "Damn! Stop it, stop it! This dagger is poisonous. !"
…
In this room, Lu Zhongxing carried the unconscious Nangong Jingnu and rushed back to the mourning hall with a group of people, shouting: "Nangong Da rebels, close the palace gate quickly!"
Before that, Qi Yuxiao had brought the news, but no one believed her. The little guy was so angry that his eyes were filled with tears, his face flushed, and he advised everyone over and over again.
At this moment, Lu Zhongxing also brought back the same news, which finally attracted the attention of the adults. Wu Liangdi, who was in the mourning hall, slumped on the ground in fright, grabbed his daughter, and turned pale with fright.
She never imagined that Nangongda didn't care about the relationship between husband and wife. No wonder her youngest son would suddenly vomit and have diarrhea and become bedridden.
Today, Nangong Da specially told him to bring his daughter to come to express his condolences...
It turned out that their mother and daughter were nothing more than blindfolds that Nangong Da wanted to cover up!
One stone stirred up a thousand waves, the Wenchenmen were talking about it, and the military generals were filled with righteous indignation.
Forty-nine ordered Chen Chuansi to lead a group of servants to close the last gate of Ganquan Palace. All the civil servants present, regardless of whether they had colluded with Nangongda, scolded Nangongda. Seeing the angry appearance, it seemed that they gave them a knife. The person who is about to rush to the sword and seek power to usurp the throne.
The military generals were also very angry, but compared to the civil officials, they were much more sober.
They knew that Nangongda dared to rebel, and there must be soldiers in his hands, the number of which is unknown, but now each of them doesn't even have a sword, and they are not opponents of Nangongda at all.
Lu Zhongxing handed Nangong Jingnv to Nangong Sunv: "I'm going to dispatch a patrol camp outside the city, everyone hold on, I'll be back in an hour!"
After finishing speaking, he ran to the courtyard and called a military general, who ordered, "Ziyu, take someone to protect your highnesses, I will go outside the city to mobilize the patrol camp to escort them, and Nangongda has mobilized five thousand imperial guards, who will be killed soon. come here!"
The general Liu Ziyu said, "Five thousand imperial guards? Your Majesty, as far as the generals know: everyone in the imperial guards is equipped with guns. Although this yard is strong, even if each of them shoots an arrow, we can't resist it!"
Lu Zhongxing's cold sweat dripped down: "This..."
Liu Ziyu: "Besides, it is very likely that the Imperial Forest Army has already taken control of the Forbidden Palace, and you might be caught by them when you go out!"
Lu Zhongxing gritted his teeth and glanced back: "You have to give it a try. If you don't go for reinforcements, won't you wait to die?"
Liu Ziyu: "Xiaguan, let's go with the adults!"
Lu Zhongxing: "Okay!"
After Lu Zhongxing and Liu Ziyu made an explanation, they rushed out. These civil officials heard that the 5,000 Imperial Forest Army also followed suit, and they were completely honest.
Nangong Su Nu: "Father Si Jiu?"
Si Jiu staggered over: "His Royal Highness Qionghua."
Nangong Sunu: "Can I call Chen Chuansi to this palace?"
Forty-nine took his orders and brought Chen Chuansi with him. Chen Chuansi and all the servants worked together to close the palace gate, but the palace gate was too heavy, and only less than a third of it was closed.
Chen Chuansi wiped off his sweat and knelt in front of Nangong Su Nu: "What are your orders?"
Nangong Sunv: "Bengong remembers that you are the chief servant by Jingnv's side, are you reliable?" The first half of the sentence was addressed to Chen Chuansi, but the second half of the sentence looked at Sijiu.
Seeing Sijiu nodded, Nangong Sunu took out something from her bosom: "Let's get out of the palace, there are some Youzhou sergeants stationed in the south of the city who escorted the palace to Beijing, use this thing to mobilize them and escort them in the palace!"
Chen Chuansi took the token with both hands, carefully put it up against his body, and took orders.
…
On the other side, the thousand imperial forest troops who were confronting Qi Yan were a little confused.
Most of the Wei Kingdom's Yulin Army came from aristocratic families. Those who were not straight or long and had no ink on their chests would be sent by their families to serve in the Yulin Army. Although these people could not inherit their ancestral business and could not pass the imperial examinations to enter the officialdom, their Most of the family members are officials in the court or locality. One of the conditions for Nangongda to persuade them to support him is that after the event is completed, everyone will be a hero.
But... Seeing that the plan failed, Nangong Da was actually held hostage!
If this matter fails, the five thousand imperial guards and their families will all be charged with treason!
Rebellion, the great crime of punishing the Nine Clan!
Nangongda wants to save his life, and they want it even more!
As a result, more and more Imperial Forest troops became commotion, and some even whispered: "If Nangongda fails, don't we all become rebels? Why don't we just keep doing it, kill them both, and let's go away. Well, no one saw them anyway, just think they died in a fight!"
Nangongda was only in charge of them at the beginning, and the treason was only deployed yesterday. Many people were rushed up by a group of people who didn't even know the inside story. It was too late to understand, so they could only bite the bullet and rush up. , maybe there is still a way to live, so it is only a matter of blink of an eye to say that it is against the water.
As soon as this statement came out, there was a hundred responses.
The Imperial Forest Army drew out their sabres one after another...
