This firework suddenly exploded over the city gate, and everyone inside and outside the city gate couldn't help but look up.
Different from the brilliant and dazzling fireworks that lit up in the distance in the direction of the palace just now, this one looked a little plain.
But now is not the time to compare which fireworks are more beautiful.
Qin Hu's expression changed.
"Shoot an arrow," he shouted.
The city gate guard hesitated for a moment.
"Master Xiao Qin, that is the Prince of Jin'an County." He said hesitantly.
"He is also a county king who wants to rebel!" Qin Hu shouted coldly, "He is going to break through the city gate."
Break in, how to break in?
Before I finished my thoughts, I heard the faint sound of rapid horse hooves coming from inside the city, and the sound of chaotic footsteps could be heard from far away on the city wall. It seemed that many people were gathering here.
"Sure enough, he is so ambitious! He actually arranged people for the defense of the imperial city for his own use!" Qin Hu sneered, but did not appear panicked, and shouted, "Go and inform Mr. Song in front of the palace that the capital is under martial law. Even if you break through and open the city gate, you will not be able to do it."
You will not be able to enter the city even half a step."
Several followers turned around and left.
The city gate guards fired their bows and arrows without hesitation, but in the time they had just spoken in the blink of an eye, Jin'an County Prince and others had already stuck to the city wall, avoiding the arrows shot by the city gate guards.
The people clinging to the wall were silent.
"You..." Zhou Hui said suddenly.
Mr. Gu and Eunuch Jing both looked at him.
"If you can attack the city gate, I will escort you to the city." Zhou Hui said.
Protect our journey in the city?
Mr. Gu and others looked at him.
The moment they hid under the city gate, everyone extinguished the torches in their hands. Their vision was blurry, but they could still see the frightened patrols around Zhou Hui, as if they had seen a ghost.
It is obvious that these patrols do not know anything, and they never want to know. You can even imagine that they are already cursing in their hearts. After the city gate is opened, let alone escorting the King of Jin'an County, they are afraid that the first one will come.
A chop to make atonement and clear away this sudden disaster.
Zhou Hao didn't say anything, but suddenly took out something from under his armor.
The people present looked stunned.
A whooshing sound.
A firework bloomed in the night sky.
"Fireworks again!" Someone shouted loudly at the city gate, dumbfounded, "What happened today?"
August 15th is still the first month to watch lanterns and fireworks, it’s not over yet!
……………………………………………
At the same time, someone in the garrison camp outside the capital also let out an exclamation.
"Du Yuhou!" someone shouted, pointing to the sky, "Another one!"
A man stood under the front porch of a barracks, wearing a black cloak and looking up.
Seven or eight people standing around him also looked over.
"Is this the one we are waiting for?"
"This is the third time. How many people are watching the fireworks in this capital tonight?"
"Why did you come up with this idea?"
"It's not just because the fireworks fly high, it's actually a good thing to convey news."
Everyone was talking a lot, and the topic was getting more and more distant.
"Shut up!" the man in the black cloak said angrily.
Everyone stopped talking, and the fireworks in the sky dissipated. The night sky returned to calm, and the east became faintly white.
After the man drank, he stopped talking.
The atmosphere in the hospital became a little dull.
"Sir, is it this?" someone asked after hesitation.
Lord Du Yuhou nodded solemnly.
This was an agreement that others would not be able to recognize. He had seen it once in advance. People like him who had been scouts had a photographic memory.
Seeing him nod, everyone in the courtyard became solemn.
"Sir, is there really something going on in the capital?" a person asked in a deep voice.
Did something really happen in the capital?
Du Yuhou couldn't help but look up at the sky again, and the scene before Zhong Chengbu left appeared before his eyes.
"...You said something will happen in the capital?"
Zhou Hui refused to go back to the northwest with General Zhong. The reason he came was that he wanted to protect his sister, because it would be really dangerous if something happened to the capital and it would be turbulent.
Who is General Zhong? Although he is young, he was nurtured by the bloody death of his family. Such a person is brave and sensitive. Unlike his first thought at that time, which was to laugh at Zhou Hui's love for his children, he just said one word.
Point out the affairs of the capital city.
"There are really not many people in history who are stupid, weak, weak, strong, strong ministers and relatives." Zhou Hui said, "Everyone knows in their hearts, but it's just not related to their own interests. I'm different. The general also knows that my sister is married.
I gave it to the King of Jin'an County. If something happens, others can still be safe. As a clan in the capital, they will inevitably be pushed to the forefront. I must watch her and ensure that she is safe before leaving the capital.
Follow my lord."
"The love of children comes first." General Zhong laughed, "A good man should grow up with children first and then make contributions."
Zhou Feng's expression remained the same, neither ashamed nor annoyed.
"Sir, do you know what it means to be sorry?" he said suddenly.
What does it mean to feel sorry for someone?
"I'm sorry means that after you do something, you will regret it and hate yourself as soon as you think about it." Zhou Hui said, "I have done this kind of thing once, and I have tasted the feeling, so I don't want to
There will be a second time.”
After all, the love between children lasts forever, isn't it just that the cousin I like has become someone else's wife?
Du Yuhou chuckled, but General Zhong on the side stopped laughing.
"That sister of yours is Mrs. Cheng who married the prince of Jin'an County as his concubine?" he asked.
Zhou Sheng nodded.
"Is that Mrs. Cheng who writes for the world to watch and learn from?"
Zhou Sheng nodded.
"Is this the lady Cheng who made the Maoyuanshan wine and made the Maoyuanshan brothers famous?"
Zhou Sheng nodded.
"Is that Mrs. Cheng who can teach Li Mao how to make stone bullets with just a firework?"
Zhou Sheng nodded.
"Is this Mrs. Cheng, the sister of Fan Jianglin who offered the Divine Arm Bow?"
Zhou Sheng nodded.
"Is this Mrs. Cheng, the sister of Xu Sigan who made horseshoes?"
Zhou Sheng nodded.
Du Yuhou looked at General Zhong in surprise.
It turns out that General Zhong is also very familiar with Zhou Hui's cousin.
What else to ask?
General Zhong stopped asking and laughed.
"Okay." He said, "Then you stay in the capital."
So he agreed. Not only did he agree, he also got a talisman to mobilize the city's defense troops, and he also deliberately stayed behind.
"If necessary, Pang Qing, please help me." General Zhong smiled and patted him on the shoulder.
General Zhong's hands were so strong that he grinned when he slapped him.
Du Yuhou tilted his shoulders again and bared his teeth.
Now is the time to do what General Zhong said if necessary.
Something happened in the capital.
Otherwise we wouldn't have lit up the fireworks three times in one night.
Du Yuhou nodded.
The people in the courtyard were silent again.
They are all old men who have led troops, and have worked in the defense of the capital for so many years. Naturally, they know what the so-called trouble in the capital means.
"Then, sir, shall we do it or not?" Someone finally asked this question and broke the silence.
To do or not to do.
Everyone has a family and a career. This kind of success and failure is really no joke. If something goes wrong, it will not only harm you, but also the whole family.
To do or not to do?
Du Yuhou was almost knocked down by General Zhong's slap.
"Sir." He grinned and did not forget to ask a question, "X is an old man who has been in the Zhong family's army for a long time. General, you told me to do so without any hesitation. However, the general asked me to do something for others, so I still want to
I need a reason."
The reason is when did General Zhong become the King of Jin'an County?
Could it be that the Prince of Jin'an County really has big plans?
So the remarks made by the scholars in Beijing to impeach him are not groundless?
In such a clan, the emperor is still there, and the prince is also there. Such wolfish ambitions are really...
"Prince of Jin'an County?" General Zhong laughed, "I know that there are indeed his people in the army, but that is his business and has nothing to do with me. And I, Zhong Chengbu, don't belong to anyone, I am just the Great Zhou
people."
"The people of Da Zhou must protect the people of Da Zhou."
General Zhong smiled and crossed his hands with his hands on his belt, looking a little haughty.
"We, the Zhong family, have been generals for generations. We live and die on the battlefield. We have only one goal, to protect our family and our country."
"Defending our country is easy to say but not easy to do. Only those of us who are truly protecting our country know best."
"Old Pang, one horseshoe is equivalent to how many more horses are equipped for our scout cavalry. Do you know that?"
"A divine arm bow can make one soldier equal to ten, which is equivalent to adding more troops to our army. Do you know clearly?"
"Although it took so long for a stone bomb to be transported to the northwest together with ten catapults, the specific effect has not been verified, but based on the test scene we saw in the military supervision, how will this catapult show?
You know such a shocking effect, right?"
"Old Pang, in order to protect our family and country, this person cannot be lost. This person must be kept."
In order to protect the homeland and the country.
Yes, in order to protect our country, there is nothing we cannot do.
Du Yuhou took a deep breath and looked at the generals in front of him.
"Something happened in the capital." He said in a deep voice, "Of course I have to go."
That's what to do.
The people present understood in their hearts, but some people still had a flash of hesitation in their hearts.
If you stand on the wrong team, the consequences will be dire.
"Who are we?" Du Yuhou asked again, looking at everyone.
The people present were stunned for a moment.
"The garrison." Someone replied.
"What does the garrison do?" Du Yuhou said, "It is the garrison. Now that there is something going on in the capital, we naturally have to go and check. We are loyal to our duties and perform our duties."
Yes, they are loyal to their duties and perform their duties, and they are not involved in so-and-so's affairs. Can being loyal to their duties and performing their duties be a fault and a crime?
"Yes." Everyone present immediately responded loudly in unison.
………………………………………………………………..
"wild ambition!"
Qin Hu looked back and sneered again.
"The first one called for help from the city gate, and this one calls for help from outside the city."
"Young Master, that bastard has escaped." The attendant shouted.
Qin Hu stood up immediately and turned to look at the city gate.
The wooden frame had been erected, but the gate officer who had been tied up just now broke free somehow, and while the guards on the city gate were busy welcoming the people approaching the city gate, he pounced on them.
The city gate.
"Go to hell."
Qin Hu shouted, the bow and arrow in his hand buzzed, and a long arrow flew over.
"Open!" the prison officer roared, holding the door bolt with one hand and the man fell down.
At this moment, the city gate shook violently.
There was a bang, as if something heavy had hit it, and the door bolt that had only slid open a little was suddenly shaken and slid open even more.
"No!" Qin Hu shouted, "They were prepared and the city gate was not closed."
In fact, the defense of the city gates of the capital has never been better than that of other places. There is no strict inspection of entering and exiting the city, and even closing the gates is sometimes just a formality. After all, it is a prosperous and lively mainland, and it is at the feet of the emperor. There are twenty people outside.
There are tens of thousands of forbidden troops and nearly ten thousand city defense and patrol officers.
Qin Hu then thought about how quickly and easily he opened the door when he passed by. It was a door specially left for him by his own people, so naturally other people could do it too.
"Sir, someone is rushing to the city gate." The follower shouted again, pointing to a group of people running towards the street, "There are quite a few people coming."
At the same time, the faint sound of gongs and drums sounded on the street.
"A lot of people are coming?" Qin Hu then smiled, "There are also a lot of people under Fu Yin's command. Let's see who is afraid of whom."
As he spoke, he ignored this side and rushed towards the city gate with his people.
At this moment the door was knocked open.
Just as Mr. Gu expected, when the city gate burst open and Zhou Hui rushed over, the few patrolling soldiers who were originally attached to the wall grabbed their horses and turned around and ran away.
Just run away, it's better than stabbing them in the back and causing trouble.
Accompanied by the sound of arrows, the two followers who pushed open the city gate fell to the ground.
Of the eight people who came, there are now only six left. Plus Zhou Hui, seven people stand at the gate of the city, facing the crossbows of a row of more than a dozen people on the opposite side. They are undoubtedly facing death.
"Your Highness, please step back." Eunuch Jing said in a low voice, while protecting Prince Jin'an.
Someone stepped forward and stood between the gap pushed by the two followers, as if a huge stone blocked the view inside and outside.
Jushi stood firm, drew his bow and arrow, and aimed it at the person in front of him.
"Zhou Hui." Qin Hu said, "Back off."
Zhou Sheng looked at him.
"Qin Hu." He also said, "Back off."
No one stepped back, and the bows and arrows in their hands shone coldly.
The sounds of the people and horses behind him came closer, and there was even the sound of arrows being fired.
"Young Master, we can't wait any longer." The attendant on the side couldn't help shouting and turned to look into the city.
If we don't force them back and close the city gate, these people who come to meet them from the city gate will definitely cause chaos at the city gate, and then these people will have a chance to rush in.
"Zhou Hui!" Qin Hu raised his voice, "Back off!"
he shouted sharply.
"Qin Hu!" Zhou Hui also raised his voice, "Back off!"
He also shouted.
The breath seemed to be stagnant for a moment, but there was a buzzing sound almost at the same time, the sound of bows and arrows sounded at the same time, and two cold lights flashed.
"Isn't my two legs better than your one leg?"
The young man who bumped into someone on the street and refused to admit his mistake blushed and shouted.
"It's a competition! Whoever loses is the grandson!"
He, the little lame Qin, has been famous all over the capital since he was a child. He doesn't believe that anyone would really not recognize him, but this kid in front of him actually refuses to kowtow and admit his mistake, which is really interesting.
"Okay, let's compete, but you deliberately lost to me just to get married to me."
He leaned on a crutch and stood steadily, watching the young man beside him pull up his bow and arrow with an unconvinced expression.
There was a sound in the air, and the bright cold air brushed past his ears and penetrated his hood. The heavy force caused his body to lean back.
Stand firm!
He is no longer the Thirteenth Qin man on crutches, he can stand still.
Qin Hu staggered to steady himself, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw the man opposite him falling on his back.
fell down...
The boulder-like body fell down, and with a thud, the ground seemed to shake.
Fell down...
Fell!!
****************************
Does anyone remember that? Haha...
Also, again, he covered his face and ran away. (To be continued)
