Under the noon sun, at the same moment Wanyan Qingjue and the others went to the imperial palace, the motorcade and horse team were gathering on the small square on the side of the imperial city.
The palace servants came up to the square holding and carrying various boxes, and the concubine of the harem followed with an anxious look. Some boxes were smashed to the ground in the process of moving in, and the various items inside were dumped, and the concubine was anxious. The look on the side shouted, and even beat and scolded the palace staff.
Everything was as lively as a vegetable market.
Zhou Pei came out from the inside accompanied by the guards, indifferent but dignified, and the nearby palace servants and concubines avoided her eyes subconsciously.
She walked all the way, crossed the square, and looked at the busy scene around her. The gate to the palace was closed in front. She walked to the stairway that led to the upper part of the city wall, and the guards around her quickly blocked the front.
"Your Highness, please don't go upstairs."
"You try to stop me!"
"Danger from above."
"What is the danger! Did the Jurchen call?" Zhou Pei's eyebrows seemed to contain blood, "I want to watch them call!"
"Please, Your Highness, don't make it difficult for the little ones."
Zhou Pei and the guards faced each other at the entrance of the stairs. Everyone in the square secretly glanced at them from the corner of their eyes. When Zhou Pei swept towards the rear sadly, they avoided the gaze.
The phoenix tree in the palace next to the phoenix tree swayed in the breeze, Zhou Pei's eyes swept across the escape-like scenery, the shame of Jingping many years ago, she was not in Bianliang, and the later search of mountains and seas, it was more like After the war, she had to flee as a last resort, and it was not until this moment that she suddenly understood what it meant to be disarming 140,000 people, and none of them were men.
The sky was still warm, Zhou Yong wearing a large robe, strode towards the square here. He seemed thin and quiet earlier, but now he seems to be a little angry. When the people around him knelt down, he waved his hand vigorously as he walked: "Be flat, move quickly, move quickly, some useless sluts don't need to be used. brought."
There was chaos in the palace. Many people did not expect the drastic changes on this day. The ministers in the Golden Palace in front were still quarreling constantly. Some people knelt down and begged Zhou Yong not to leave, but these ministers were sent by Zhou Yong. Before the two sides were blocked from the outside, it was unpleasant, and there was nothing to be embarrassed about now.
Zhou Yong, the concubine in the palace, did not pay attention to it. He was too indulgent in his early years, and he had nothing to do after he ascended the throne. The concubine was just a plaything to him. All the way across the square, he walked towards his daughter, panting with a flush on his face, but at the same time a little embarrassed.
"Hey, daughter..." He thought for a moment, "Father was very serious earlier, but now, there is no way to do it. There is Xiao Xiao in the city making trouble. I know it has nothing to do with you, but... Jurchen's messenger has already entered the city."
Zhou Pei looked at him coldly.
"In addition, the cavalry of the dog thief Wushu has already pulled out the camp and wants to put pressure on us. Qin Qing is right, let's go first and stay on the boat of the Qiantang water division. As long as they can't catch me, they can't do anything about it. No, if they can't destroy the Wu Dynasty, they have to talk!"
At this moment, Zhou Yong was quite proud of his own response. When the envoy of the Jurchen came to the palace, he would definitely be startled. I don't agree when I speak... The more he thinks about it, the more reasonable he feels.
Zhou Pei looked at him, and after a while, his voice was hoarse, and he said, "Imperial father, you are gone, the Jurchen can't destroy the Wu Dynasty, but what about the people in the city? What about the people in the Central Plains? They can't destroy it. Wu Dynasty, it is another time to search the mountains and seas, how can the people of the world live!?"
Zhou Yong was stunned for a while, Zhou Pei stepped forward, took Zhou Yong's hand, and walked up the stairs: "Dad, you accompany me up! It's on the other side of the palace wall, you accompany me up, look at that Side, those 100,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 people you go, they will…”
Zhou Yong waved his hand away like fire, and took a step back the next moment: "I said, what can I do! I can save them by staying here? I want to be betrayed with them! The thief also said that people have to save themselves!!!"
He shouted these words loudly, Zhou Pei's eyes widened in anger, only to hear Zhou Yong say: "I am also self-rescue, this is the only way I can't beat the front. I am a strong man and broke my wrist... Time is running out, you give it to me. Go to the car, you and I will get on the boat first, all the officials and the things in the palace can come slowly. Even if the Jurchen arrives and I get on the boat, they can only look at the ocean and sigh!"
He said, pointed to a carriage not far away, and let Zhou Pei go over, Zhou Pei shook his head, Zhou Yong waved his hand, and let the nearby female officials come over and set Zhou Pei to go into the car, Zhou Pei was pushed in a daze Walking, she didn't struggle until she was fast into the carriage: "Let go of me! Who dares to touch me!"
The female officials were startled and shrank their hands, Zhou Pei ran towards the palace gate, Zhou Yong shouted: "Stop her! Stop her!" The nearby female officials leaned over again, and Zhou Yong also strode over: "You Let me in!"
"You go! I'll stay! Father, you can leave if you want, and leave me to sit in the capital."
"I won't let you stay! I won't let you stay!" Zhou Yong stomped his feet, "Daughter, stop making trouble!"
Zhou Pei and the female officer got into a fight.
People in the palace seldom saw such a scene. Even if they were wronged in the inner palace, the strong-tempered concubine would not do these insignificant and futile things. But at the moment, Zhou Pei finally couldn't hold back her emotions. She waved her hand and knocked the female officer beside her to the ground. Several female officers nearby were slapped or ripped off by her, with blood on her face, embarrassed. unbearable. The female officials did not dare to resist, so they pushed and pulled Zhou Pei towards the carriage amid the emperor's roar. It was also during this kind of tearing that Zhou Pei pulled the hairpin on his head and abruptly inserted it into the neck of a female official in front!
The sun shone vertically, and blood spurted out on the square, spraying Zhou Pei and the surrounding female officials all over their faces. People screamed. Zhou Pei's long hair was scattered, and he was stunned for a while, and then he waved the blood-red hairpin: "Get out of the way, get out of the way!"
"Catch her and grab her hairpin!" Zhou Yong shouted loudly, and a female officer who was skilled in martial arts rushed up and snatched Zhou Pei's hairpin. He picked up Zhou Pei's waist and pushed her into the carriage made of steel: "Lock it up! Lock it up!"
Zhou Pei's tears were already pouring out. She got up from the carriage and was about to rush forward again. The two car doors slammed shut, Zhou Pei slammed into the door, and Zhou Yong was heard shouting from outside: "It's alright, it's alright. Yes, this is to protect you..."
"Dark King"
"do not talk… "
"Everyone in this world will look down on you, and look down on our Zhou family... Dad, you are no different from Zhou Zhe"
Her body hit the car door, Zhou Yong slapped the car wall and walked forward: "It's alright, it's alright, it's over, it's over... Daughter, I can't just be taken away, I want to give you and Junwu time. , I want to give you a way of life, these infamy let me bear the burden, it will be fine in the future, you will understand sooner or later..."
He muttered to himself for a long time. He also got into the carriage. Various things were loaded and unloaded on the square. After a while, he finally opened the palace gate and crossed the long street to the south. Go past the gate.
In the dim iron car, Zhou Pei felt the movement of the carriage. She was covered in blood, and a long line of light penetrated through the cracks in the front door. The carriage was driving through the familiar streets of Lin'an. After a while, it started banging on the door again, but to no avail.
On the way to the car, there was a vague chaotic sound from the front. It seemed that a crowd rushed up and blocked the way of the convoy. After a while, the chaotic sound became louder, and it seemed that someone launched an attack on the convoy. A figure came over from the gap in the front door, curled up as if being protected by the Imperial Army, that was his father Zhou Yong.
He said over there: "It's okay, it's okay, it's all a clown, it's okay..."
After a while, the chaos was resolved outside, and it was unclear whether the people who came to block Zhou Yong or came to rescue her had been cleared, and the convoy started driving again. After that, it was smooth all the way to the Qiantang River wharf outside the city.
When the complacent Wanyan Qingjue arrived at the palace, Zhou Yong had already boarded the boat at the pier outside the city. This might be the only thing that surprised him along the way.
Nine years ago, when searching the mountains and inspecting the sea, in order to live a stable life at sea, Zhou Yong once ordered a huge dragon boat to be built. Even if it floated on the sea, the big ship was as calm as if it lived on land. Take it out.
After getting on the boat, Zhou Yong sent someone to release her from the carriage and arranged for her a place to live and servants to serve her. Perhaps because of guilt, Zhou Yong never appeared in front of her this afternoon.
The huge dragon boat fleet was moored on the surface of the Qiantang River like this. All afternoon, various things were brought in one after another. Zhou Pei was locked in his room. Going out, she sat in the room, unable to close her eyes, until late at night on the twenty-ninth, Zhou Pei, who had finally slept for a while, was awakened by the movement, and she did not know what happened in the fleet. There is a huge collision.
Quick steps sounded outside the door, and Zhou Yong, who was dressed in white, rushed in. Seeing that she was sleeping in clothes, he came over with a look of grief and anger, and pulled her to the outside.
Zhou Pei walked out without saying a word, and gradually came to the deck of the dragon boat outside. Zhou Yong pointed to the movement on the river not far away to show her that there were several warships that had already been fighting, and the flames were burning. The sound of cannonballs sounded across the night, and the light splashed.
"Look! Look! That's your person! That must be your person! I am the emperor, and you are the princess! I believe you have the authority of the princess' mansion! You can't kill me now!" Zhou Yong's words were filled with grief and indignation, and pointed to Lin'an City on the other side, and there was also a faint chaotic fire in the city, "Rebels! They are all rebels! They have no good end! Your people also broke the rudder of my boat. Fortunately, it was discovered in time, all of them are yours, it must be, you are rebelling"
There were tears in Zhou Pei's eyes, which fell involuntarily. She naturally understood in her heart that her father had been frightened. He was frightened by someone's behavior of destroying the rudder, and thought that he could no longer escape.
At this moment, the mountains in the distance are dark, the water is sparkling near, and the fire on the city is reflected in the sky. Zhou Pei understands that this is the battle between the various factions in the city, including the battle of the warships on the river. Made the final blow. There must be the efforts of Li Bin, Cheng Zhouhai and others, but the previous Princess Mansion has never been prepared to resist Zhou Yong. Even with Cheng Zhouhai's ability, under such circumstances, I am afraid it will not be able to do so. There is the intervention of the Huaxia Army, but for a long time, the Princess Mansion has always suppressed the Huaxia Army, and their reaching out has finally been of no avail.
The flames in the night sky were like the ashes of a huge palace burning and disintegrating on the dark sea.
The fleet stayed on the Qiantang River for a few days, and the excellent craftsmen repaired the small damage to the boat. Since then, officials and gentry have brought their families and carried all kinds of treasures, but the prince Junwu never Come here, Zhou Pei no longer hears those news while under house arrest.
Until the fifth day of the fifth lunar month, the fleet set sail, carrying the small imperial court and its dependents, and sailed through the mouth of the Qiantang River. Zhou Pei looked out from the gap of the sealed window, and the free seabirds. Flying past the line of sight.
She grabbed the iron window lattice and began to cry. The saddest cry was silent. At this moment, the Wu Dynasty lived in name only. They sailed to the sea, and her younger brother, the bravest prince Junwu, and even the people of the Wu Dynasty in the whole world, were left behind in the hell of flames...
