Chapter 101: The tacit understanding between brothers
"Come in and kill!!"
There was already a river of blood in front of Cining Palace. Ma Qi looked at the defeated Imperial Guards in front of him and felt only pain in his heart.
He was in charge of the third battalion and was promoted to the nine-door admiral. He was said to be in charge of 30,000 forbidden troops under his command and commanded the eight banners. He seemed to have unlimited glory.
But after actually sitting in this position, I realized that the heroic Eight Banners back then had long been reduced to nothing but smokers who had been drained of their fortune.
The military camps are full of empty names who are living on empty wages. In some camps, only a group of old, weak, sick and disabled people are left hanging around every day.
He urgently gathered a large number of Han children and screened them several times in the military camp before reluctantly training a group of new soldiers with some fighting ability.
But these recruits have never been on the battlefield after all, and the training time is not enough. Compared with the Eight Banners disciples who are rotten in their pants, they are naturally more than enough.
But facing these brave soldiers under Prince Gong, they are like a group of hens fighting against a group of wild wolves. They are not on the same level at all.
What's even more troublesome is that although Prince Gong's number is not large, follow-up support is still rushing to the palace.
In addition, the appearance of some people in the world has also begun to make the future situation confusing.
These quacks rushed into the palace and began to set fire to and plunder everywhere.
In the blink of an eye, the entire Ouchi Imperial Palace was in a state of chaos.
The Datong Dynasty ruled for two hundred years and confiscated countless folk treasures and treasures.
Especially in the direction of the arsenal, the fighting there was the most intense.
Not only the scattered strangers in the world, but also many masters from martial arts schools are acting as accomplices.
Since Emperor Kangxi began to ban martial arts among the people, a large number of martial arts were included in the arsenal and became exclusive to the royal family. Now these martial arts people are rushing into the palace, and their goal is clearly these martial arts treasures.
It is quite ridiculous to say that the Empress Dowager Shengci gave up on scientific reforms and refuted the strange techniques and techniques, and instead started to develop martial arts, and distributed a large amount of martial arts money every year.
But he didn't expect that at this time, people from countless martial arts schools would also follow him and take advantage of the chaos.
If the palace is like a whale that swallows the world's treasures, then at this moment when the whale is about to sink to the bottom, it is a sumptuous carnival feast for these small fish and shrimps.
"Third brother! The palace is so big, where can we find Brother Ma?"
In a corner of the palace wall, three figures squatted in the corner, looking at the chaos in front of them. Those murderous Jianghu people were not even as good as the bandits in the green forest, and some palace maids and eunuchs did not let go of killing anyone on sight.
The three of them did not want to get involved, although according to Li Xi's previous plan, they should go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs at this moment, where there is a treasure building containing countless treasures.
But at this moment, the three of them want to find March more and take him out of this chaos.
"I don't know. The palace is so big and messy. If we want to find people, it's like finding a needle in a haystack."
As Bai Shitong spoke, he couldn't help coughing again. It seemed that the weather was getting colder and colder, and his body was gradually becoming too much.
Seeing this, Qian Shu on the side said in a low voice: "Didn't we tell Brother Ma a fortune teller before we went out? If we sign it, there must be no problem with Ma Ge's auspicious person and heavenly sign. I think instead of wasting time here, we should..."
Huo Wuji glanced coldly, and Qianshou immediately stopped talking.
"We fight for face between life and death, and we fight for breath between life and death. Don't tell me that you still remember that bastard Li Xi."
Huo Wuji's words made Qian Shu very embarrassed, but he also knew that this guy had this temper and said whatever he thought of, and there was no malice in him.
Therefore, Qianju did not give up his goal and continued:
"Li Xi is Li Xi, we are us. As the saying goes, success depends on people and God decides. Saving Brother Ma does not conflict with our original plan. It's just that whether we can be saved depends on God's will. We can't just look around like a headless fly.
Bar."
Huo Wuji was also in a state of confusion. He originally wanted to take advantage of the chaos to rescue people and pay back Brother Ma, but he didn't expect the situation in the palace to be so complicated.
After hearing Qianju's words, I also found a new level for myself mentally.
After thinking for a moment, he nodded: "Okay, let's go according to the original plan first, but if we really encounter Brother Ma, we will save him no matter what."
"Great kindness!"
Qianshou nodded, and the three of them turned around and groped in the direction of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Although the three of them did not know the direction of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, they had heard from Li Xi that it was located west of the right wing gate of Xihua Gate, in the middle of the north of Wuying Hall, and at the fourth gate along the wall.
It is said that this place is the seat of the White Tiger, so it was renamed the White Tiger Palace. It was the parking place of the former Emperor Zi Palace.
Now it has become the place of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and all the seven departments of the three academies are located here.
When they rushed over, they discovered that they were not the only ones rushing to the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
I saw a group of imperial guards outside the Ministry of Internal Affairs guarding the door.
A middle-aged man wearing armor, holding a long knife, stood in front of the door, with corpses scattered in front of him.
Every corpse was killed with a single blow, and there were many famous masters among them.
Come to think of it, the Ministry of Internal Affairs is no better than other places.
The thirteen divisions of the upper and lower divisions were concurrently in charge of the punishments of the upper three banners, royal finances, treasury, guards and retinues, mountain hunting, etiquette, royal estate taxation, engineering, animal husbandry, as well as the collection of important items such as royal weapons, bows and arrows.
Naturally, not everyone can break into such an important place.
Even though Prince Gong led his men into the harem, the Ministry of Internal Affairs is not panic at all. Regardless of what the fight looks like, who becomes the emperor in the end, there is still a Ministry of Internal Affairs that can defend the Ministry of Internal Affairs, no matter who wins.
If you fail, the credit will definitely not be lost.
Therefore, there are currently many troops in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and even the middle-aged general at the head, raising his sword to meditate, is filled with a dangerous aura.
"Half-step master!"
Huo Wuji frowned. Although this person is not a great master, he is still a half-step master. With these wandering soldiers, it is simply wishful thinking to attack them.
"Withdraw, there is no hope."
Huo Wuji was decisive in his style and immediately pulled the two of them away.
“Leaving now??”
Qianju glanced in the direction of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, with reluctance written all over his face.
Inside are all precious treasures that the Datong Dynasty has collected for many years. Even if they take out just one item, it will be enough for them to eat, drink, and live comfortably for a lifetime.
In the past, they were not even qualified to take a look. Now they are still in front of the door but are not allowed to enter. Whoever it is, who would feel better.
But Huo Wuji said simply: "Don't be stupid. Unless you are a great master, it will be a dead end for just the few of us."
"Yes, saving your life is the most important thing. I think it's better for us to turn around and go back to the arsenal to try our luck. Maybe we can find a chance to get some suitable classics and go to the Imperial Hospital by the way.
Let me see if there is any medicine for the disease."
Bai Shitong also seemed very casual, because his biggest expectation when he came in was not to find Xu Tong, nor was it for the treasures in the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Instead, he wanted to take this opportunity to go to Tai Hospital to see if there was any miracle doctor who could cure his illness.
Seeing that the two people's attitudes were so consistent, Qian Shu couldn't help but sigh heavily in his heart, and just said it, he would obediently leave with Huo Wuji and Bai Shitong.
Just when the three of them were about to leave, they turned around and saw a group of martial arts people running towards this side in a panic.
"These people..." Bai Shitong saw a few familiar ones and remembered that they seemed to have gone to attack the arsenal. Why did they run this way? Could it be that the arsenal has been captured?
While feeling surprised, Qianju suddenly noticed something was wrong, stepped forward and grabbed someone and asked, "Why are you running? What happened?"
The other party was grabbed by Qian Hands, and he was feeling annoyed, but when he looked up and saw Huo Wuji's sinister eyes, most of the resentment in his heart was immediately dispersed, and he hurriedly said: "Let's go quickly, find a place to hide.
Get up, Xiang Jiajun has already invaded!"
It turned out that when Prince Dagong rebelled, the rivers and city gates of the capital were immediately controlled.
The Xiang family was also caught off guard at the first opportunity. Almost all the killers arranged by Prince Gong rushed out and rushed towards the Xiang family.
Fortunately, the Xiang family was not a freeloader. After killing the killers, they finally contacted the garrison outside the city and broke through the city gate after a lot of twists and turns.
That's why they arrived late. At this moment, the army rushed into the palace, and they, the gangsters who took advantage of the situation, instantly became the first targets to be killed.
Many people were directly killed by the elites of the Xiang family and could only flee in a hurry towards the harem.
"Run to the harem? You are crazy. Everyone over there is trying to kill you. Aren't you looking for death by running over there?"
Senju said.
But the other party broke away Qian Shu and said, "If you don't run away, you will die now. Tens of thousands of troops will rush in. Even if you are a grand master, you will die."
After saying that, the other party slapped his head and rushed forward in a panic.
Now the three of them felt their hearts pounding. If the Xiang family really led tens of thousands of people into the palace, it would obviously not be easy for them to get out alive.
"what to do!"
The expressions of Qian Shu and Bai Shitong suddenly collapsed. The only way to plan now is to sneak into the harem first. After all, the palace is so big. Not to mention tens of thousands of people, even if there are another hundred thousand people, it is impossible to infiltrate every one of them.
Every corner is full.
But once the chaos is settled, can those hiding in the harem escape?
To put it bluntly, this is never a good idea.
Just when the three of them were in shock, a figure in black robes rushed over, grabbed Qianju and Bai Shitong's arms and walked forward.
Just as the two were about to resist, they heard the black shadow whisper: "Stop talking. If you want to live, come with me."
The familiar voice cheered up the two of them. This voice was none other than Li Xi.
Huo Wuji stood behind him, his face darkened for a moment, and it was neither right nor wrong to follow him.
At this time, Li Xi turned around and looked at Huo Wuji.
"Let's go, you don't recognize me as your brother, and I can't let you die here.
When we made our vows, did we say that we would die in the same year, the same month, and the same day?
Right……
Brother!"
Li Xi's trembling shout made Huo Wuji tremble. He looked at Li Xi, and their eyes met for a moment...
They smiled at each other, and all the unhappiness in their hearts instantly disappeared.
Maybe this is the tacit understanding between men.
