Zhang Yuchi heard the noise outside in a daze. He immediately woke up and turned around neatly, picked up his long sword, and prepared to open the door to see what was going on.
As soon as the door opened, two sharp weapons were immediately stabbed at him, and Zhang Yuchi took a step back.
He was suddenly attacked. Fortunately, he reacted quickly and managed to avoid this wave of attacks. His assassin obviously did not give up and continued to rub his body.
After another confrontation, Zhang Yuchi saw clearly the two faces in front of him. They were the lieutenants he had brought to Beijing from northern Xinjiang.
"What are you doing?" Zhang Yuchi's voice was like a bell, "I treated you well, but in the end you took the lead in betraying me."
The two lieutenants continued to attack Zhang Yuchi with their swords without saying a word.
Zhang Yuchi roared and unleashed the pent-up anger in his body. His sharp sword quickly gained the upper hand, stabbing one of the lieutenants and kicking him to the ground. The other lieutenant saw this and stepped forward.
Zhang Yuchi stepped forward to save him, but Zhang Yuchi refused to dodge and allowed the deputy general's sword to pierce his arm. He turned around and sent the long sword in his hand into the deputy general's heart.
The deputy general staggered a few steps and fell to the ground before he could let out a scream.
Zhang Yuchi stared at the lieutenant who was kicked to the ground by him before, with a sinister look on his face: "Why would you betray me if I give you another chance?"
Seeing that he had no chance, the deputy general's face was full of deathly gray: "General, you can't blame us, everyone wants to live, everyone outside has surrendered to King Wei, and the capital cannot be defended at all.
The Queen Mother has died, but the general only knows how to drink. The palace has long been in chaos. Sooner or later, the officials in the capital will rebel. Without the King of Wei coming to the capital, the general will not be able to suppress the situation.
If we capture the general, the capital will be spared from the war, and maybe there will be a way to survive."
Zhang Yuchi only felt a buzzing in his head, and anger filled his body. As soon as he sent the sword away, he was about to kill the deputy general, but there was another burst of footsteps, followed by the shouts of the Zhang family. Apparently someone had entered.
The yard.
Zhang Yuchi penetrated the deputy general's body with his sword and was about to deal with the incoming person. However, he did not expect that the deputy general used his last strength to rush towards Zhang Yuchi and tightly hugged Zhang Yuchi's legs with both arms.
, at this moment people from outside also broke in and slashed at Zhang Yuchi with their sharp weapons.
Zhang Yuchi immediately fell into a passive position. He hit the deputy general under him hard with his arm. Blood splattered on the deputy general's head and his bones cracked from the heavy blows. Zhang Yuchi finally got rid of the deputy general. At this time, he
His shoulder was seriously injured again, and blood kept flowing from the wound.
Zhang Yuchi's eyes were red with blood, and he was in a state of madness.
"Who else, tonight I will let you know the consequences of betraying me, and they will all be killed without mercy."
Zhang Yuchi walked out of the house step by step, and the people who came to assassinate him had to step back. As soon as they walked into the courtyard, they heard another cry of killing.
The Zhang family's nursing home came to report: "Master, hurry up, someone is coming to kill you again."
As soon as Gu Yuan finished speaking, he was stabbed in the vital part by someone who came over.
"Catch Thief Zhang."
"Zhang thief stabbed the emperor, communicated with outside enemies, forced the queen mother to death, kill him...kill him..."
The gate of Zhang's Mansion was opened, and a steady stream of people came to kill him.
"Protect the master."
"Protect the general."
The guards of the Zhang family and Zhang Yuchi's cronies immediately joined those people in killing each other.
The capital fell into complete chaos.
…
Zhang Jingshu couldn't sleep for several days. She always felt that there was a pair of eyes staring at her in the darkness. Those eyes were cold and malicious, as if they would seek her life at any time.
With great difficulty, she closed her eyes and let herself fall into a state of half-dream and half-awake.
"Ah..." A miserable cry came.
Zhang Jingshu immediately opened her eyes, and her clothes were soaked with cold sweat.
"Who is it? Who is calling."
Whenever this happens, the female officer next to me will come forward and persuade her: "My queen, please be at ease, there is nothing else to do."
But today, the female official has not arrived yet. Zhang Jingshu felt that the palace was getting colder and colder. She shouted in a panic: "Someone is coming, someone is coming..."
After a long while, the female officer finally hurried into the inner room.
"Mother, what's wrong is that the biological mother of the eldest son of the emperor has disappeared, and the palace servants and chamberlains who served the biological mother of the eldest son of the emperor have disappeared as well."
Zhang Jingshu's body trembled, and her whole heart seemed to be firmly grasped: "They have taken action. In the past, they did not dare to do so when the Queen Mother was in the palace, but now no one can suppress them. Please send someone to send a message to the second uncle.
The second uncle led the troops into the palace." This was not enough. She was afraid that if the Zhang family's soldiers and horses did not enter the palace, those people would come to the palace to arrest her.
"Quickly, send me and the eldest son of the emperor away," Zhang Jingshu looked at the palace attendant, "Go quickly!" She didn't want to stay here for a moment.
The female officer nodded: "I will go find someone right now."
Zhang Jingshu put on her clothes and asked her wet nurse to carry the emperor's eldest son over. She felt slightly relieved when she saw the emperor's eldest son. Fortunately, she had not lost her last support.
She must find a way to get out of the palace before making other plans. The Zhang family must have a way to protect them. They are the Zhang family's last hope. Maybe she can find the emperor. As long as she insists that the eldest son is the emperor's flesh and blood, the emperor may be interested in her.
Open one side.
Zhang Jingshu led the people to escape towards the palace gate. She did not dare to delay along the way and ran as hard as she could, seeing that the palace gate was right in front of her.
"Your Majesty, please... come on... someone is coming."
When Zhang Jingshu heard the footsteps, her legs became weaker and weaker. She staggered and almost fell there. The pursuers behind her were getting closer and closer. Zhang Jingshu stared at the door. The soldiers guarding the palace gate would definitely
Help her.
"Here comes someone." Zhang Jingshu shouted in panic.
The soldiers at the palace gate slowly walked towards her.
"Quick," Zhang Jingshu pointed behind her, "stop them and escort the emperor's eldest son and I out of the palace."
Zhang Jingshu panted heavily, took the emperor's eldest son from the wet nurse, and then continued to move forward, but a hand stopped her.
"The imperial concubine cannot leave the palace."
A cold voice came.
Zhang Jingshu raised her head and saw that the people in front of her all had sullen faces, and their eyes were somewhat forbidding.
"You guys..." Zhang Jingshu turned her head and looked behind her, and those chasing her behind her stopped being anxious and slowly walked forward.
Zhang Jingshu understood immediately, and she mustered up her last courage and said sternly: "You have colluded to attack me and the emperor's eldest son... This is the emperor's flesh and blood, the blood of the Qi family, who of you dares to hurt him."
"No one dares." Princess Huayang slowly walked in from the palace gate.
Zhang Jingshu looked at the eldest princess Huayang defensively. Ever since something happened in the capital, the eldest princess Huayang had been staying behind closed doors. The Zhang family invited her several times but refused to come. Zhang Yuchi surrounded the eldest princess's mansion.
Princess Yang just walked out of the mansion and said to Zhang Yuchi: "The prince-in-law is a sinner, and I can't stay out of it. Now that the Su family is punished, I will no longer interfere in any political affairs. The emperor wants to punish Southeast, and you want to take over the capital. Just do it."
Go and toss."
The eldest princess of Huayang did not support the Zhang family, but she also did not come to interfere. It was a good result for the Zhang family, but what is going on now? Zhang Jingshu asked: "Did the eldest princess regret it?"
"I have no regrets," Princess Huayang said. "The Great Zhou Dynasty is in chaos. Neither the emperor nor the Zhang family can stabilize the overall situation. I really can't do anything. If I don't do it, it will add fuel to the fire. I can only wait...
Wait for the person who can truly control everything to come."
Zhang Jingshu shivered: "Are you talking about Song Chengxuan?"
Princess Huayang sighed and looked at Zhang Jingshu: "I will not punish you, I am not qualified to do this, I will only lock you up and wait for the new king to be punished.
However, when the new king enters the capital, he has no time to pay attention to traitors like you, and your results are just what everyone expects."
Princess Huayang waved her hand after speaking, and someone immediately came forward to take Zhang Jingshu away.
"My second uncle...he will save me."
Princess Huayang shook her head: "If you depend on others for your life, what good results will there be in the end? It's a waste that you have followed the Queen Mother for so many years and you haven't learned a single thing.
The Queen Mother can still maintain her dignity, but you have nothing.
Zhang Yuchi has some abilities, but when the entire capital becomes his enemy, he will have no choice but to die."
Zhang Jingshu still refused to give up and shouted: "That's your biological brother."
"He is my biological brother." Princess Huayang raised her head slightly and looked at the moon above her head. The moon was full tonight, "so I will help him reduce his mistakes so that no more people will die in vain because of this. Otherwise... I will not be able to face him in the future."
