Retreat, Retreat, Retreat! - Chapter 35
The morning light is thin, the altar is towering, and the eyes are covered in silver. Xiao Huan, dressed in a black mian suit, stood side by side with his young and powerful queen, overlooking the towering sea of the capital, and overlooking the crowds of living beings crawling under his feet.
His palms were sweaty and his fingertips trembled slightly.
This is his world, this is his country, this… is his old enemy.
“Your Majesty, are you nervous?” Liang Yourong asked, wearing an exquisite embroidered golden phoenix robe with a bright flower crown, facing the morning sun behind the snow.
Xiao Huan swallowed hard, without speaking.
Liang Yourong looked straight ahead, firm and composed. Her face was still calm, only the hands under the sleeves squeezed Xiao Huan’s cold fingertips harder, and whispered: “Your Majesty, don’t be afraid, from now on, your concubines will protect your Majesty.”
The gust of wind slapped the door of the Hall of Nourishment, and the bright yellow gauze tents stirred. Xiao Huan suddenly woke up from his coma, panting and sitting upright.
“The emperor is awake, pass the emperor’s doctor.” Empress Dowager Liang, wearing a deep purple ceremonial gown, wearing an emerald phoenix crown, with upside-down eyebrows, she is unparalleled, sitting behind the fluttering bright yellow curtain, leaving Xiao Huan with only a gloomy silhouette.
As long as she is there, Xiao Huan is always nervous.
He straightened his body and knelt on the dragon couch. He didn’t dare to relax at all. After a long time, he tremblingly asked, “I was outside the palace, and I suddenly fainted…what the **** happened?”
At the back of Mrs. Liang, he took a sip of the strong tea handed by the lady of the palace, and his murderous face was faintly visible behind the floating curtain, like a ghost. After a long while, she said in a cold tone without the slightest emotion: “On the way back to the emperor, Dongchang admiral and **** Shen Xuan intended to assassinate the emperor, and her conspiracy for rebellion was clearly revealed. The emperor was shocked by the assassination and fainted. Fortunately, Huo The stallion led the Jinyiwei to **** him in time, and desperately rescued you and me back to the palace.”
“Admiral Shen…conspiracy?” Xiao Huan had no impression at all, he didn’t even know how he was suddenly fainting. He only knows that things must not be as simple as what the Queen Mother said…
This is just an excuse to promote the conspiracy.
Xiao Huan clenched his fingers, looked around nervously, and whispered, “Where is the queen?”
The queen mother Liang pondered for a long time.
When Xiao Huan thought she would not answer for a long time, Queen Mother Liang lifted her sleeves and slowly got up and said: “The Ai family asked her to pick up Changning to return to the palace. After all, Changning is a princess who died with the eunuch, no Suitable.”
Xiao Huan’s eyes widened suddenly, and he couldn’t even care about putting on shoes. He stumbled to the bed with his bare feet and said with red eyes, “The queen can’t kill her, she is my sister!”
“The Ai family asked the queen to pick her up. As for death or alive, that is her fate, and the history books will remember her.” After speaking, Queen Mother Liang turned around indifferently and said in a high-pitched voice, “The emperor was frightened. I’m not very clear, come here! Take care of the emperor.”
The door of the Hall of Nourishment was slammed shut, and a terrible darkness was plunged around it, like a mouth full of fangs, swallowing everything.
The ancient roads of Long Street were in turmoil, and the snow on the eaves fell with a clatter and fell into the ruins of the grocery store.
Several Jin Yiwei and Lin Huan’s subordinates fought each other, and the whole street became a battlefield.
After an unknown period of time, the smoke and dust dispersed, and Lin Huan shook his dusty head like a big dog in the pile of broken rags, and stood up from the ruins unscathed.
Xiao Changning let out a long sigh of relief. At that moment, she almost thought that Lin Huan would die, and her heart ached for no reason.
Standing outside the carriage, Liang Yourong obviously noticed Xiao Changning’s subtle changes, and said in a puzzled way: “Princess Changning is worried about him?”
“My palace can’t understand, you are already a queen, why do you want to drip this muddy water?” Xiao Changning looked at the thick smoke billowing in the direction of the east factory, and the resentment in his heart became even greater, and said solemnly, “Since you When you become a queen, you should stand by your Majesty’s side and support the whole world with him! As for the affairs of this palace, you don’t need to worry about it.”
“Today’s back-to-back battle, Dongchang will definitely lose. Empress Dowager pity you, let me take you back.” Liang Yourong turned her eyes and asked, “Or does the eldest princess want to die with the Dongchang eunuch?”
“Going back with you is to die!” Xiao Changning smiled coldly and raised his eyes with confidence, “You are so pitiful, the queen. The queen mother lied to you, she is using you, just like she used me in the first place.”
Liang Yourong was taken aback for a moment.
The gust of wind swept through, and the dark clouds obscured the sun.
“‘It is always the clouds that can cover the sun, and the absence of Chang’an makes people worry’… Our palace swears to assist the empress dowager to clean up the Dongchang slander for the emperor. She will not lie to me, but you are deceived and deceived by a traitor. He closed his eyes.” Liang Yourong’s eyes were still unwavering, and he turned to stare at Lin Huan and said: “My palace will kill the rebel first, and then I will take you back to the palace to see your Majesty.”
Fortunately, Lin Huan didn’t seem to be injured, but calmly brushed away the dust and debris on the clothes, glanced at the empty palm, and then slowly raised his head.
Liang Yourong’s cold gaze locked Lin Huan, turned his wrist, clenched the long sword in his hand, and assumed a defensive posture.
Click—
Lin Huan lifted his foot on the wooden block blocking his feet, and walked towards Liang Yourong step by step against the wind. The delicate baby’s face was full of murderousness, which was obviously a real move.
He said, “You dropped my date cake.”
Every time he took a step, the coldness in his eyes became deeper, staring at Liang Yourong and repeating it again, and said with great anger: “You! Dropped my jujube cake!”
As he spoke, he had pulled out the white blade, moved faster, and rushed at an extremely fast speed! At the next moment, the blade flashed coldly towards Liang Yourong’s face!
Liang Yourong’s pupils shrank abruptly and quickly raised the sword to block. The blade hit the blade, making a dizzying sound of tinnitus, as if two high-class weapons were groaning overwhelmedly.
Xiao Changning secretly yelled hello, and couldn’t help but yelled to Lin Huan: “Chairman Lin, you have won this battle. This palace invites you to eat roast chicken and duck and camel hoof soup, shark fin and venison thirteen fresh dishes, and West Lake drunk fish. Fructose!”
This trick was really effective. Every time a dish was reported, Lin Huan’s strength in his hand was fierce, killing several people again and again, taking Liang Yourong’s point directly.
“Who does the princess help?”
Rao was as calm as Liang Yourong, and couldn’t help feeling a little angry. Lin Huan’s quick and fierce moves couldn’t help retreating, and her back slammed into the wall of the carriage, which was able to stabilize her figure.
In an instant, the powerful sword energy swayed everywhere, like a gust of wind, which alarmed the two horses pulling the cart. The horses were frightened, their front hoofs neighed, and they desperately pulled Xiao Changning’s car into the street.
The carriage suddenly jumped ten feet away, Xiao Changning never expected that this beast would go crazy at this time! She was thrown back by the huge inertia, and she subconsciously climbed onto the dilapidated window of the car that was scratched by the sword gas, and barely stabilized her body that had been thrown away.
“Madam!” Lin Huan’s eyes flashed with worry, no longer in love, abandoned Liang Yourong and chased the carriage, trying to rescue Xiao Changning from the broken car that was about to fall apart.
But Liang Yourong obviously didn’t want to let him go. The order the Queen Mother gave her was to kill the remnants of Dongchang and bring back Xiao Changning, so she couldn’t let Lin Huan go!
Thinking of this, she raised her hand and fetched a bone whistle from her arms, raised her head to the sky and blew it, making a sharp and long signal, and then hurriedly chased it, leaping up on her toes, blocking Lin Huan’s path. .
Almost at the same time, several Jin Yiwei turned out from the street corner, blocking Lin Huan’s retreat.
Liang Yourong stood in front of him like a female Rakshasa, Lin Huan hurriedly stopped, and watched the crazy horse run away. If he wanted to save the admiral’s wife, he had to kill the people who were in front of him… After understanding this, he adjusted his posture, wiped off the stains on his face with the back of his hand, and said calmly: “Come on.”
The horse-drawn carriage ran wildly along the road with remnants and bloodstains, and in a short while, it ran out of the long street and ran towards Donghuamen… and there, it was the place where Shen Xu and Huo Jie fought.
She didn’t want to trouble Shen Xuan with such an embarrassed attitude at this time!
“Stop! Stop!”
The carriage reel was bumping and squeaking overwhelmedly. Xiao Changning stumbled forward while holding on to the broken carriage wall, trying to stretch her fingertips to reach the rein of the horse. At the moment when she was about to touch the rein, the carriage reel When she ran over a raised stone on the ground, there was another bump, and the rein was bumped to the ground. She lost her last hope.
In this case, if you want to get free, you have to jump off the car.
Xiao Changning looked at the houses and pavilions that were retreating quickly, and jumped off the car at such a rapid speed, he was immortal and disabled.
Just as it was about to die, the carriage suddenly sank, as if something heavy had fallen on it. She raised her eyes in the gust of wind, only to see a blood-covered fan picked up the reins and climbed into the carriage with great effort, and said to her: “Your Highness, Chief Lin has ordered me to save you!”
“Great…”
Xiao Changning hadn’t finished speaking, but suddenly saw a sword fly and nail it straight into that fan’s chest, from the back in and out from the front of the chest.
Suddenly blood was splashed, and the unknown fan had time to scream in pain, so he slammed off the carriage and rolled to the side of the road without any movement.
The surprise on Xiao Changning’s face gradually faded, replaced by a panic of panic.
She saw a familiar figure leaping down from the roof like a jackdaw spreading its wings, and landed steadily on her car, standing at the place where the fanboy had just died, and opened the curtain and said to her warmly: ” The minister is late for help, so please forgive her for your sins.”
That is…
“Yu Yunqing.”
Yu Yunqing said, “The minister is here”, and with one hand he picked up the blood-stained horse’s reins, easily subdued the mad horse, and then ordered the horse to change direction and drive north.
Xiao Changning said vigilantly: “Where are you going to take this palace?”
Yu Yunqing paused, and said: “The chaos outside has not ceased, and the ministers escorted the palace to Fusi in Nanzhen to take refuge.”
There was only a momentary pause in his tone, and Xiao Changning still heard the clue. She pulled away the messy hair in front of her forehead, pulled out the loose hairpin, looked at Yu Yunqing’s back coldly, and said clearly: “It’s not a refuge, do you want to use my life to threaten Shen Xuan?”
After being exposed to the tactics, Yu Yunqing’s back froze suddenly, and the hand holding the horse’s rein tightened tightly. He didn’t dare to look directly into Xiao Changning’s eyes, and only whispered: “The Queen Mother’s decree, the minister also obeyed orders… I’m sorry.”
“Are you all crazy!” Xiao Changning suppressed his panic, and said angrily, “Do you know what kind of person Shen Xuan is? My palace is like a stubborn life in their eyes, you actually want to take an abandoned son. To threaten Shen Xuan with her life? The world is overwhelming, and this palace does not want to mess around with you! Let this palace go!”
Yu Yunqing didn’t say a word, but just slammed his whip on the horse’s hips, and hurried to Fusi, Jinyiweinan Town.
Seeing that there was no room for discussion, Xiao Changning clenched the golden hairpin in his hand.
She took a deep breath, trembling and raised her hand, Jin Chai flashed a sharp cold light, aimed at Yu Yunqing’s defenseless side neck…
“You don’t have enough power, so you should use dexterity to win, and go straight to the enemy’s vital points.”
“For Your Highness, attacking his heart or abdomen is not the best policy. Only the side of the neck is the most vulnerable part of the human body. You only need to be surprised, with a light stroke, the blood will spray out, and the other party will immediately fall to the ground. It’s too late to call for help.”
Shen Xuan’s original teachings were as good as her ears, just thinking of his appearance, she seemed to have accumulated great courage, can face the crisis directly, and can dominate death!
She stabs Yu Yunqing’s side neck suddenly…
Cold light bursts!
The next moment, a long sword crossed her neck.
When the sky failed, Yu Yunqing reacted first, restrained her with a horizontal sword, and easily took the hairpin from her hand, and smiled bitterly: “His Royal Highness, why is this?”
Xiao Changning’s tight jaw trembled slightly, and he lowered his eyes to look at the blade lying in front of him, biting his lip without speaking.
“The minister promises that he won’t hurt His Royal Highness. He only needs to act in a play with His Royal Highness.”
Looking at her, Yu Yunqing finally couldn’t bear it, and withdrew the sword guiltily. “Master Huo has restrained Shen Xu’s main force, and then the minister will send a message to Shen Xu, telling him that Princess Changning is in Nanzhen Fusi’s hands. If Xuan Ru came to rescue His Royal Highness, he must divide his troops so that Huo Da has a better chance of winning. The Fanzi who rushed to save His Royal Highness will also fall into the trap of the minister and kill him in one fell swoop.”
Xiao Changning’s eyes were red and coldly said, “What if he doesn’t save me? Didn’t you figure it out for nothing?”
“If Shen Xuan chooses to abandon His Royal Highness, he will definitely concentrate his forces to retake the East Factory which was occupied by Jin Yiwei. To be honest, Facing the Dong Factory these mad dogs who kill people without blinking, Huo Daren has no chance of winning, so he was buried in the East Factory ahead of time. A large number of gun-powder, as long as Shen Xuan retakes the East Factory, and the gun-powder explodes, he will also be exploded into scorched earth along with the East Factory.”
Yu Yunqing said, “Next, it depends on whether Shen Xuan chooses Dongchang or His Highness, whether he chooses to die in Dongchang or Nanzhen Fusi.”
