Retreat, Retreat, Retreat! - Chapter 39

The time has passed, the moonlight slanted west, illuminating the broken swords all over the ground, and the blood condensed into a deep dark purple in the night.

In front of Donghua Gate, after a rest in the middle of the night, the remnants of Jinyiwei and Dongchang Fanzi faced each other across the moat, all preparing to fight to the death.

I don’t know who gave the order, and Jin Yiwei and Dongchang rushed towards the opposite side at the same time.

The fans in Dongchang are all tough guys from a hundred miles away. In addition, because of their inherent physical disabilities, they can’t play like ordinary people, so they have shifted their life’s energy to the obsession with martial arts. Therefore, although Jinyiwei’s personnel are several times the number of Dongchang, but most of them are vainly flowery, and they will soon be at a disadvantage.

On the East Factory side, Fang Wujing and Lin Huan took the lead. Fang Wujing and his men are good at hidden weapons, wherever they go, pear blossoms are in full bloom in a torrential rain. As soon as a dark arrow blows, groups of Jinyiwei wailing and fall; while Lin Huan slowly stuffed a crisp candy into his mouth. , Then he held a knife and followed closely, giving Jin Yiwei who had survived the concealed weapon arrow rain with a knife, cutting down a piece like wheat stubble; Jiang shot the bow-crossbowman to occupy the Donghua Gate high and low, and use the arrow to sweep Fang Wujing The remnant soldiers behind Lin Huan and Lin Huan have all shots and a hundred shots, so that their comrades can charge with peace of mind…

In the face of the cooperating and murderous Dongchang Fanzi, the sense of Jinyiwei has been swallowed by fear, and many people have even tried to escape.

Huo Que had a sullen face, and slashed several tribes who took the lead in fleeing. He shouted: “Who dares to retreat again, kill without mercy!”

Jin Yiwei was frightened of killing, so he had to bite the bullet.

When Lin Huan, Fang Wujing and others entered the enemy’s formation, Shen Xuan, who had been watching the battle from behind, was as sinking as water, and slowly clenched the handle of the knife. Then, he slapped the horse’s buttocks and rode his horse madly, wherever he went, blood was blooming all the way, and no one dared to fill the **** road!

As if entering an uninhabited state, Shen Xu ran all the way in front of Huo Jia, and cut off the two commanders, Tongzhi, one after another.

The two commanders Tongzhi sacked, Huo Jia was equivalent to losing his left and right arms, and the resentment in his eyes almost turned into magma.

He squeezed the Xiuchun knife tightly, let out a low growl, and rode his horse to meet Shen Xuan. Shen Xuan also lifted the knife and came with a slap on the horse!

Both of them are god-like existences in the factory and guards. In this head-on confrontation, the blades cried and sparks splashed everywhere. Clouds hung down in the sky, pressing over the capital, the world was gloomy, and the wind was like a blade. The two moved quickly like beasts, and even the light of the knife turned into an afterimage that was unrecognizable to the naked eye!

After dozens of moves, the two quickly separated, each reining in their horses and turning around, facing each other coldly apart from a distance of ten steps.

Both Shen Xuan and Huo Ji are good at using knives and are not good at playing on horseback. There seemed to be a thick storm in the eyes of the two of them, and they looked at each other for a moment, and they both rolled over and dismounted at the same time, and directly fought a decisive battle on the ground.

Shenxuan unraveled the blood-soaked cloak. The cloak drew a pitch-black arc in the night, and was blown to the ground by the wind, covering the mottled blood stains all over the ground. Then Shenxuan lifted the knife and pulled a flower. He bent his legs apart, his sharp eyes locked the opponent tightly. Huo Cai also raised his arms and flexed his elbows, and slowly wiped the blade of the Xiuchun knife from the sleeve of his forearm. In a short time, the snow-white blade reflected the cold light in the moonlight.

Huo Jie took the lead and rushed over, raising the knife and slashing towards Shenxuan. Shen Xu dodged sideways, blocking Huo’s second blow with a horizontal knife, and then bent her elbow and slammed into Huo’s chest.

Huo Que was struck back three steps in a row and stood firmly, half of his body was weak, and the hand holding the knife trembled. He lowered his head calmly and saw that a small gap had appeared on the blade of the Xiuchun sword bestowed by the Emperor Xiandi, and the blade trembled, making an overwhelming buzzing sound, as if it would break into pieces immediately.

And Shen Xuan stood long, her body frozen into a silhouette in the dark, with only one pair of eyes sharp as before, as if he was born to kill and never tire.

Huo Wei knew that Nanzhen Fusi had been destroyed, and Yueyao’s Beizhen Fusi had stayed out of the situation. Even if he continued to fight, he would succeed or lose today.

Finally, he stared deeply at the direction of Ci Ning Palace, where the lights were like beans, and he couldn’t tell whether it was peaceful or dead. There is guilt and pain in his eyes, as well as a trace of unexplainable sorrow…Today’s failure, he must save his strength before he can make a comeback and help his lover accomplish his great cause!

For a long time, Huo Wei bit his posterior molars, took a step back, then turned on his horse, and shouted, “Withdraw!”

Jinyiwei was pardoned, and a swarm of bees fled with Huo Stall, leaving only soldiers and corpses on the ground.

“Put the signal, chase!”

Yinshi’s more voice came faintly, Shen Xuan turned on her horse, staring at the direction of Ci Ning Palace, and commanded in a deep voice: “Lin Huan and Jiang She led the team to enter the palace with the Governor to rescue, and the rest of the people all chased Huo. Stall, no matter whether you live or die, be sure to bring him back to the East Factory!”

boom-

The red signal rose, exploding a dazzling firework in the air.

At this time, there was another situation in the palace.

“The empress dowager is safe and sound, how dare Changning die first?” Xiao Changning faded away from her usual frailty. At this time, those eyes that were always shining with tears were firm. Queen, do you want to rebel?”

“You are the one who rebels!” Empress Dowager Liang said sharply.

Yueyao rode his horse forward, raised his hand to signal Jin Yiwei to encircle the chaotic guard, and said loudly: “The empress dowager’s ability to conspiracy and treason is really an eye-opener to her humble duty. Everyone sees it, your sword is pointed at your majesty, Is your Majesty also a rebel?”

“Your Majesty is being held hostage by the Dongchang comrades.” The queen mother stepped forward, pointed at Yue Yao with her sharp nails coated with Dan Kou, and asked Seli inwardly, “Yue Yao, the first emperor looks at the loyalty of the Yue family, and treats you gracefully. There are more, why even you have to rebel?”

“Since the Queen Mother knows that the Yue family is full of loyalty, she should understand that anyone who rebels can never be the Yue family. The humble duty and your Majesty will naturally stand on the right side.” Yue Yao drew out the Xiuchun knife and pointed the knife at the Queen Mother. He laughed mockingly, “You, a deep palace woman who can only play with power, have any right to accuse me?”

Xiao Huan got off his horse, took Liang Yourong’s cold hand, and shielded her behind her not broad body, and stood up and said: “Whoever rebels, who is loyal, I know in my heart. Queen Mother, you have failed your father’s entrustment to Gu Chui Lian. , Greed makes a big mistake, let’s stop.”

“Emperor, the Ai family raised you up, even you have to fight against the Ai family?” Empress Dowager Liang nodded herself and shouted with her fingers, “Come on, take it for the Ai family…”

The Queen Mother Liang hadn’t finished the order, but suddenly a cold light flashed, and then a sharp dagger hit her neck.

This scene was so dramatic, everyone was at a loss for a while before realizing what had happened. Everyone couldn’t help but looked at the queen dowager, and there was a rustling voice in the crowd.

The situation reversed, and Xiao Changning looked at the court lady next to the Queen Mother in astonishment. He did not expect that the person who restrained the Queen Mother at a critical moment would be the closest person to the Queen Mother!

The dagger clung to the fragile skin, and the Empress Dowager Liang was also taken aback for a moment, then carefully turned her gaze to look at the maid holding her. Her eyes widened suddenly, and she said in disbelief, “You…you dare to betray me!”

The grand palace lady Yu Kou put the dagger on the side of the queen mother’s neck and held her a few steps forward. The guards of the queen mother woke up like a dream, and they turned their halberds around and aimed their weapons at Yu Kou. Yu Kou was neither humble nor overbearing, and his eyes were cold. They shouted, “Don’t move! Let go of your hands. The weapons in the room, everyone back!”

Guards, look at me and I will look at you. I dare not act rashly. The empress dowager’s forehead was already oozing cold sweat, she stiffened her neck and tremblingly said: “Come on, kill this cheap maid!”

“The queen mother is better not to speak.” Yu Kou lightly stroked the dagger, and the queen mother immediately screamed, and a shallow blood mark was drawn on her neck.

Yu Kou obviously moved the real thing, and the guards threw a rat avoidance device. They hesitated for a moment, dropped their halberds, raised their hands and stepped aside, giving up resistance.

Xiao Changning gave Yue Yao a wink, Yue Yao knew it, and hit the railroad while it was hot: “Beijing Fusi takes orders, takes the rebels, and protects your majesty and the queen!”

The hundreds of the Queen Mother were taken down, and Xiao Changning was completely relieved. She squinted her eyes and looked at Yu Kou by the light of the fire. She only felt that her figure was familiar, and she seemed to have seen her somewhere outside Ci Ning Palace.

While thinking about it, a picture suddenly flashed in his mind: the school field, Hongmei, and Shen Xuan bowed to the court lady behind the plum tree, with great respect…

is her! That palace lady secretly exchanging information with Shen Xuan on the campus of the East Factory!

Is she actually Shen Xuan’s person? No wonder so.

Xiao Changning, who learned of Yu Kou’s true identity, was shocked and happy. On the contrary, the Queen Mother Liang had eyes dripping with hatred, and said in grief: “Yu Kou, you bastard! I’m sorry for that. You, you want to cheat Laijia so much!”

“The empress dowager has forgotten things, probably don’t remember.” Yu Kou held the dagger tightly, with a little sadness in his eyes, said coldly, “The slave girl’s sweetheart was killed by the mother and Huo.”

“Your sweetheart?” Empress Dowager Liang grinned her bright red lips and smirked. “The Ai family has killed so many people, who knows which dog minion your sweetheart is!”

There was a faint fire igniting in the distance, the sound of mixed footsteps approached, and it seemed that another brigade had heard the news. Xiao Changning’s heart tightened, his gaze temporarily pulled away from the Queen Mother Liang, and he locked tightly in the direction where the flames were looming. I don’t know if this group of people is Shen Xu or Huo Jia…

“Dongchang is late for rescue, Your Majesty Wanwang will forgive you!” With the familiar voice, Xiao Changning’s hanging heart finally fell back into his abdomen.

Her eyes lit up, and the corners of her mouth could not help but raised, calling out: “Shen Xuan!”

Lin Huan and Jiang She led the two teams to control the situation and surrounded the Empress Dowager Liang. Then, with the sound of horse hooves approaching, Shen Xu stood up from the galloping horse, and landed on the ground like a falcon. Xiao Huan bowed on one knee, clasped his fist and said: “Chen Xuan, knock on the emperor!”

“Shen Qing get up!” Xiao Huan subconsciously stretched out his hand, as if he wanted to personally lift Shen Xuan. But Shen Xuan’s clothes were full of blood, and he was full of murderous aura. He didn’t know where to start for a while, so she froze in mid-air awkwardly and gave her a hand.

Fortunately, Shen Xuan didn’t care, just got up and walked towards the Queen Mother Liang. Every time he took a step, Empress Dowager Liang’s face became paler, and in the end she turned into a deadly pale color, and she didn’t want to force her to be ashamed of the palace.

She knows very well what it means for Shenxuan to appear in the palace at this time: Huo Jie is defeated, or is dead, she has lost her biggest backer, and she has been defeated…

Xiao Changning rolled over and got off the horse, but because the horse was too high, she almost fell when she landed. Fortunately, a big hand stretched out from the side to stabilize her figure in time. Looking back, who was not Shen Xuan who was holding him?

Under the gaze of the crowd, Xiao Changning suppressed the desire to plunge into his arms, with bright eyes, and asked: “Shen Zhen, has Huo Jie’s rebels been annihilated?”

“The rebellious Jin Yiwei has been taken down nine out of ten. Huo Jie saw that the situation was wrong and fled. The minister has ordered someone to intercept and arrest him.” Shen Xu calmly stabilized Xiao Changning and turned to look. Empress Dowager Liang, who was looking greyish, raised her head and said, “What else can the queen dowager say?”

Empress Dowager Liang stood on the palace wall, bit her lip firmly, wringing a deep gully between her eyebrows, and still struggling to death: “The family is ordered to clear the side of the emperor, and the sincere heart is a lesson to the world. As for whether Huo Jie is rebelling, what is the mourning for the family? do not know either!”

“The queen mother picked herself clean, in order to survive by docking her tail?” Shen Xie sneered, “No one in the palace does not know that the anti-thief Huo Que is the minister under your skirt. The empress wants to protect herself, and she is afraid that it will not be easy. “

Empress Dowager Liang clenched her fingers and trembled all over.

When the little emperor saw such a big scene for the first time, he didn’t know how to deal with it, so he asked: “The Queen Mother hijacked the emperor tonight. It was what everyone saw with their own eyes. According to Shen Qing, what should the Queen Mother do?”

Shen Xuan replied: “In my humble opinion, it is better to take away his title and all rights first and confine him in the cold palace. When the minister takes Huo Wei to justice, the empress dowager naturally knows what is meant by’no coffin, no tears’.”

Shen Xuan’s words clearly meant that she wanted to keep the Queen Mother alive and toss slowly. Dongchang had a way for people to survive and die.

Xiao Huan looked at the dying Empress Dowager Liang with a fierce light in his eyes, and a stray shadow flashed quickly in his eyes. He straightened his thin chest and said loudly, “Quick play!”

Empress Dowager Liang suddenly widened her eyes and said frantically: “The Ai’s family is the queen dowager who is in charge of politics. You can’t treat the Ai’s family like this! The Ai’s Queen Mother has written instructions: No matter when, where, and what happened, the emperor can never abandon the queen… Uh! Uh! Well!”

Soon someone rushed to cover her mouth and forced her into custody. The long and narrow palace road is like a black beast mouth, swallowing the frightened and angry Queen Mother little by little until there is no more sound…

Liang Yourong clutched his wound and fell, with tears streaming down the corner of his eyes, biting his lip and intermittently saying: “This world is actually black, not black, white and white…”

“Queen!” Xiao Huan hurriedly supported Liang Yourong’s fallen body. He looked at the little queen with his eyes closed, and his eyes flickered, seemingly passionate and ruthless.

The waning moon on the horizon looked like a mocking smile.

A vigorous civil turmoil quietly ended in blood and death, and was submerged in a lonely and deep night.

The tense heartstrings of the day and night finally loosened completely at this moment. Xiao Changning sighed, and there were bursts of sharp pain in his head, as if the two bruises in the carriage during the day finally erupted completely at this moment, stirring her up and down.

She staggered for a while, and quickly got back on her feet.

Shen Xu quickly realized Xiao Changning’s strangeness, and said hurriedly, “What’s the matter?”

“Headache…” Xiao Changning rubbed his temples, looked at Chenxuan with his flushed eyes, and said softly, “Shenxuan, I’m so sleepy.”

Her voice was very soft and soft, and her eyes were filled with relief and trust, and people couldn’t help but want to hug her and comfort her.

Shen Xuan did indeed do so.

He hugged Xiao Changning upright, so that she could safely lean in his arms.

Shen Xuan held her and walked steadily past the emperor and Yue Yao, with a gentle and solemn expression, and whispered: “Then go to sleep for a while.”

The courtesy is strict and Shenxuan is so intimate with the eldest princess in public, but no one dared to look at him directly and accuse him. Her Royal Highness the princess left.

“Lin Huan, prepare a car and send your Highness back to the mansion to rest.”

With Shen Xuan’s order, the moon fell to the west, and dawn came quietly.
