Regardless of the commotion in front of him, Sun Ping, who is over 50 years old and in a small courtyard behind Prince Dai's Mansion, has retired from his position as a lieutenant a few months ago and is only retiring in the mansion. However, he still likes to take a stroll every day. Dadadi went to the training ground to watch the soldiers drill, and his life was very fulfilling.
Because he followed the routine of waking up at sunrise and resting at sunset, he had already fallen asleep when Ma Shunde came with his troops.
The sound of wind and rain covered up the noise in front of him. Sun Ping was sleeping soundly when he heard someone banging on the door of his house.
"Who is it?" Sun Ping frowned and got off the couch, pulling on his shoes and asked.
"Dad, Dad! Something happened, please open the door quickly!" Sun Ping's youngest son shouted anxiously outside.
Sun Ping was busy: "It's coming, it's coming, it's coming."
I walked over and opened the door. As soon as the door opened, the child rushed in.
"Dad! Why did you open the door? Something big happened!" The younger son was covered in rain, but he didn't care. He shouted anxiously, in a low voice, but full of fear.
While he was talking, Sun Ping's eldest son and second son came running over in their coats.
Sun Ping knew immediately that the situation was not good. He gritted his teeth and slapped his youngest son on the head: "Why are you so anxious? Tell me clearly. What happened?"
The eldest brother and the second child also looked at the third child.
Sun Ping's youngest son said anxiously: "Oh, something happened to our palace. Someone from the palace surrounded our palace with armored soldiers, and now they have broken in!"
"What?" Sun Ping was stunned when he heard this, and listened to his youngest son say: "Dad, what should we do, what should we do, should we run away quickly?"
"Pah!" Before he could finish his words, there was already a slap on his left cheek. Sun Pingxing turned around and cursed with angry eyes: "Shut up, how dare you say such a thing?"
"What was the situation in my family when the king came here? Your father was working hard, you were sick, and there was no money to buy you medicine. The king knew about it and specially approved 30 taels of silver for your treatment."
"Have you forgotten all this?"
Sun Ping pushed the door open and saw a commotion further away. The armor soldiers had penetrated deeper and blocked the door: "Is this going to repeat what happened that day?"
He called his three sons: "Go and get me some armor and a knife!"
"Dad!" the younger son exclaimed immediately.
The eldest brother and the second eldest son looked at each other, one immediately went to get the armor and the other got the weapon.
It was not just Sun Ping, they both quickly came over with their armor and weapons, first helped Sun Ping put it on, and then quickly put it on themselves.
After the three people finished their work, they saw the third child standing there, still hesitating. If he couldn't figure out what the third child was thinking, Sun Ping would have lived all these years in vain.
"Bah, you coward!"
Sun Ping cursed his younger son. Because the king was in an emergency now and had no time to educate his younger son, Sun Ping ignored it and directly called his eldest son and second son to follow him: "Follow me and obey the king's orders."
"Dad, Dad!" Sun Ping's youngest son kept shouting from behind. Seeing that his biological father and two older brothers didn't even look back, he stamped his feet and wanted to catch up. However, thinking of the old events in the Prince's Mansion that he had heard about, he took two steps forward. He stepped forward and stayed where he was with a complicated expression.
"Master Sun, you are ready too!" As soon as they left the small courtyard, their clothes were soaked by the wind and rain. Sun Ping and his son didn't care. They continued to move forward. They saw not far away in the wind and rain. Two more people came, also a father and son. The leader was the deputy captain in his forties. When he saw it, he became happy and shouted at Sun Ping.
Sun Ping raised his chin and said loudly: "Qin Ying, the king is in trouble. As ministers, we should face it together, but you are not the only one who is in charge!"
"That's right, sir!" Qin Ying also said loudly, and they joined together and continued to run forward.
Along the way, he met a few people who were rushing towards the main courtyard. They all had anxious faces and kept walking. When Sun Ping saw one person, he patted his shoulder: "You are here too, you are not from the Prince's Mansion."
Old man, very good, very good."
This person was Bo Yan. He didn't speak, he just smiled, feeling uneasy. He had killed Sun Bolan, King of Qi, and there was no way out. What's more important, there was still someone he hadn't found.
When we arrived at the courtyard, the lamps were already lit, but no one went up the steps. They just stood in the courtyard, their faces were livid, and no one spoke.
Counting the number of people, there were not many people who came to the main courtyard. Counting all the guards, there were only a dozen or so people who came in a hurry.
Bo Yan glanced around and saw Luo Jiang, and felt relieved.
Even if there are thousands of armored soldiers, even if a disaster is really imminent, with her and her martial arts skills, it may not be impossible to escape.
Main courtyard
Su Ziji stood in the courtyard, looked at the thirty people outside, and sighed: "There are three hundred people in the palace, and the guards alone are one hundred and fifty. It is possible that only more than ten people died in the battle."
Su Ziji had the title of acting king, and perhaps half of the three hundred people he raised could die, but once the emperor ordered to fight to the death for him, he could only stand up for these ten people.
Compared with the emperor, I am nothing.
This is why King Lu easily raped the prince without any resistance, and why the prince committed suicide even though he had so many followers.
Status is very important in any society.
"However, I'm lucky that you guys can comfort my heart." Su Ziji looked at the wild Taoists who came over, including Wen Xunpeng, Hui Dao, Jian Qu, Cen Rubai and others. He paused for a moment and did not see Zhang Sui.
, so I won’t talk about him anymore.
Everyone knows that if you can't get through this test, that's it. If you get through it, it will be difficult for anyone who doesn't come today to get close and trust you again.
"Lord, Zeng Nianzhen is here." At this time, the wild Taoist came over and whispered to Su Ziji.
"Let him in."
"Yes." The wild Taoist went out. After a while, Zeng Nianzhen came in. Without looking at him, he saluted Su Ziji directly.
"Is the matter done?" The noise in the distance was getting closer and closer. Su Ziji was unmoved and just asked.
Zeng Nian Zhenshang was full of murderous intent: "My lord, I am fortunate to have fulfilled my orders. The people I lead are also obeying my orders and will listen to my lord's orders at any time."
Because there is a tunnel leading outside the mansion, soldiers are already waiting inside the rockery.
I wanted to ask about the specifics of the matter, but at this moment there was the sound of footsteps, and Su Ziji stopped talking, nodded, and said, "Okay, I have something for you to do."
Just as he was talking, Ye Buhui walked out of the inner room, his face a little pale, and asked: "Husband, what happened?"
Su Ziji looked at his beloved wife with some pity, hurriedly supported her, and replied with a smile: "It's nothing, why did you come out?"
It's been like this, and you still say it's okay?
Ye Bugui naturally didn't believe it. He looked at the faint armored soldiers and torches in the distance, but was speechless for a moment, just a little dazed.
Suddenly, she remembered that in Linhua County, it was the same dark sky, the same drizzle, but her father Ye Weihan was far away from her. The corpse was a big pool of bright red, and she and her husband were worshiping in front of the corpse.
At that time, how similar was it to how the policemen broke down the door now?
Now that I think about it, it's more of a pity. It's not a pity that I married Su Ziji. It's a pity that their time together was too short. They were often pushed away by things, and they were never able to live a peaceful life.
It was like a gust of cold wind came over. Ye Buhui shivered. When he arrived in Beijing, he read a lot of books. He knew that the royal family fought fiercely. But when he got married, he had this realization and just lived and died with him. But
What's even more pity is the child in the belly.
Touching his belly, Ye Buhui lowered his eyes, thinking that this child might not have a chance to be born.
She had actually had this ominous premonition for a while, but she didn't want to worry Su Ziji by saying it out loud, so she kept enduring it.
