When the word "the general is dead" spread, most of Luoyang City was in commotion. The soldiers prepared secretly by each family were exposed. Then, soldiers and horses who didn't know where they came from attacked Guangyang Gate.
At the city gate, the sound of fierce fighting could be heard by people for miles around.
The nearby families, whether they were common people or wealthy families, were facing a formidable enemy. The small family moved out the water tank, blocked the door, and then the whole family hugged each other on the bed and shivered. The wealthy families were in danger of losing their lives.
The servants went up to the courtyard wall to defend themselves, and the family members all shouted and gathered in the backyard.
With swords and soldiers, both jade and stone will be destroyed. When Dou Wu and Chen Fan were killed decades ago, the capital was in chaos. I don’t know how many people were broken into their homes by soldiers and bandits who took advantage of the fire. The witnesses of that incident were not dead yet, and others were also
They all grew up hearing about that.
The atmosphere in the capital is getting more tense day by day. Except for those with evil intentions, all the officials and people in the city are on tenterhooks. After being on tenterhooks for so many days, what is supposed to come will come, or in other words, what is supposed to come.
Finally it’s here. Many people are chanting the names of various gods at home, thinking that as long as they can escape this disaster, they will burn incense and fulfill their wishes.
After many people prayed to all the gods in the sky, they thought of the White Horse Temple in the east of the city. Although I didn't like those bald monks in the past, they thought there was no harm in worshiping them, so they decided that as long as they could get through this,
I also want to burn incense for those Hu gods.
The battle at the two city gates was fierce but brief. The southern army defending the city was quickly defeated under internal and external attacks. Immediately, the defeated troops and the rogues in the city began to attack various residential buildings, and even
Many soldiers on the attacking side also deserted and joined the looting team.
Luoyang is the heart of the empire, and there are countless wealthy families living in the city. When the soldiers rush into such a colorful world, why don't they let go and rob them? The attacking soldiers and horses looked hot and very excited.
Soon they started making noises and joined in the joyful looting business, even forgetting about guarding the city gate.
The courtyard walls of wealthy families were not only tall, but also guarded by many servants. After the rebels hit the wall, they quickly changed their goals and rushed to the homes of ordinary people to burn and kill them. Most of the time, the weak would always
He will swing his sword at the weaker person, not the other way around.
"Bang bang bang!"
Outside the shop facing the street, a dozen rebels held torches, knocked hard on the door, and shouted: "Open the door, open the door quickly!"
"If you don't open the door, we brothers will be rude!"
"Get out of the way," several rebels dragged their big axes to the front and pushed them a few times. "Crack, click, click." The door was opened, and the rebels cheered and swarmed in. Immediately, the furniture was overturned, and the host and hostess
The sound of screams sounded.
This kind of thing keeps happening, and there are even some light-hearted youths who get involved with the rebels and act as guides for the rebels. They are local aboriginals and know best which family has money and which family has few people. Once the robbery starts, it will
There is a fire lit. In order to create chaos, the rebels often set a fire after looting.
In the general's mansion, hundreds of torches were lit, and soldiers were everywhere in the hall. He Jin sat under the eaves with a gloomy face. The soldiers in front and behind him all had their swords unsheathed and their bows and arrows unstrung. He was originally a butcher.
After entering the court as an official, I have always paid attention to sealing, otherwise I will be laughed at by the family members. Sitting on the ground without regard for etiquette like this has not happened for a long time.
However, no one dared to persuade He Jin now. The general who had just suffered an assassination was undoubtedly in a rage, and no one would be so helpless. After waiting for a long time, the air in the mansion was about to solidify.
At that time, there was a heavy sound of horse hooves on the street outside.
"The Marquis of Jiyang is back!"
With the shouts of the soldiers, the clouds on He Jin's face suddenly dissipated. He jumped up from the floor, ran out quickly, and shouted: "Shuda!"
The torches in the hands of the soldiers outside the door were burning brightly, making a "crackling" sound. He Jin ran out of the door and looked around, but did not see his brother. He only saw a carriage surrounded by soldiers in the center.
I couldn't help but ask, "Is Marquis Jiyang injured?"
The general lowered his head, not daring to look at him. He Jin's heart sank, and he reached out to lift the curtain. However, after his hand grabbed the curtain, it started to tremble, as if the light curtain weighed a thousand pounds. The thick
The smell of blood came from inside the car. He Jin gritted his teeth and suddenly opened the curtain.
Inside the carriage, Jiyang Hou Hemiao was lying quietly on the thick carpet, with a smile on his lips and a peaceful face. He seemed to be asleep. However, a huge and ferocious wound was opened on his chest, and there was blood on the edge of the wound.
It has dried up, leaving only some solidified brown plates.
The general and the soldiers around him knelt down and cried out: "General!"
He Jin looked at the familiar face and suddenly remembered what happened when he was a child. At that time, he was killing pigs and sheep every day, and his younger brother would help him... His hands suddenly stopped shaking and his breathing stopped.
After calming down, He Jin turned around and asked, "Have you found out who it is?"
The general quickly raised his head and said: "The armor and weapons on the enemy are all from the arsenal, and have the seal of the Shaofu on them. In addition to the ring-shou sword and spear, there are also horse spears and three-stone strong bows in the army, and the mounts are
Most of them are war horses produced in Youzhou. As for who they are, my subordinates are incompetent and cannot confirm."
He Jin raised his head and looked around. In the firelight, the armored soldiers reflected cold and hot light.
He seemed to see He Miaozheng trying to persuade him: "...From the Huo family to the Dou family, relatives who take power never end well. Staying upright is the way to protect the family."
He Jin said to himself: "Stay upright? Shuda, you really want to be a good person, but in this world, good people cannot survive."
He said to the soldiers on the ground: "What are you kneeling for? Get up!"
The soldiers stood up amid the sound of weapons clashing.
He Jin looked at Zhang Zhang beside him and said silently in his heart: This man has always been at odds with the Marquis of Jiyang. Could it be that he sent troops?
Zhang Zhang was He Jin's favorite general and had always been favored, but this time he did not go with him to Beigong. After hearing that the general was attacked, he hurried over. Seeing He Jin staring at
Looking at his neck, Zhang Zhang felt a chill on his back, but he didn't understand what was going on.
He Jin looked at Zhang Zhang for a while, turned his head away, stared at another general, and thought to himself: This man has an average relationship with the Marquis of Jiyang, maybe he felt that he was being treated coldly, and then sent troops?
He stared at a general for a long time and thought to himself: This man has a very good relationship with the Marquis of Jiyang... If they have a good relationship, they can't send troops?
He Jin looked at the nearby generals one by one and finally stopped. He walked to the front of the carriage and wanted to take another look at He Miao, but he didn't want to see his dead brother again. He stood in front of the carriage.
After waiting for a long time, he finally said: "Let Marquis Jiyang bathe and change clothes."
"promise!"
There are still a few hours before dawn. Even if He Jin is the general, there is nothing he can do now. He can only hold on to his home and the upper west gate. Although people have been sent to the infantry battalion and Shesheng battalion to pass orders, it is late at night. In the city,
There were rioters everywhere, and the cavalry carrying the order might not be able to reach their destination.
Even if the order was passed, the two battalions of soldiers and horses would not obey the order. To take a step back, they obeyed the order, and it was not just that they could be pulled out. At least they had to wait until dawn before they could enter the city.
Until then, He Jin can only wait. He can wait, and he can afford to wait. As long as he doesn't die, he will still be the leader of the martial arts family in the world!
Chaos had begun outside the palace, but Queen He turned a deaf ear. She was confused now. The emperor was dead, and she was a little sad. After all, they were a husband and wife. The general's life and death were uncertain, and she was even more panicked. Although Queen He was noble
The master of the harem, however, has little knowledge and does not understand anything about national affairs. She only knows that if the general is really gone, she and her son Liu Bian will be in danger.
One hundred Yueqi escorted the queen and the prince to the Zhuque Gate quickly, but they saw the torches near the city gate were brightly lit, and hundreds of soldiers lined up left and right. Chen Cheng saw it from a distance and felt something was wrong, so he looked on the small map
When I saw the bright red dots, my heart sank. It seemed that he was not the only one who had decided to hold it. At this time, everyone no longer had to hide it.
At a distance of sixty or seventy steps, Chen Cheng asked the soldiers to stop. As soon as the carriage stopped, Queen He woke up from her anxiety. She didn't know what happened again, and asked through the curtain: "What's wrong?"
Although the voice was cold, you could still hear the fear contained in it.
Chen Cheng looked back, and Wang Lin's face turned pale again. He smiled and said, "Don't worry, Queen, it's nothing serious."
Queen He gritted her teeth secretly in the carriage and thought to herself: "If I have time, I must kill this person!"
Chen Cheng turned around and shouted to the other side: "Zhongshu Ling, Da Changqiu, don't hide anymore, come out, I've seen it all."
Zhang Rang, who was standing in the shadow of the passage, was stunned, turned to look at Zhao Zhong beside him, and said in surprise: "Can you see this?"
Zhao Zhong opened his mouth, forced a smile on his face, and said, "He is trying to trick you."
"Humph," Zhang Rang snorted coldly and said, "There are so many of us, why are we afraid of him? Even if he is trying to trick me, our family is not afraid!"
He walked out openly and said with a dark smile: "Marquis Julu, your hand is too long."
Chen Cheng saw Zhang Rang's face exposed in the firelight, and looked behind him. He saw a few powerful soldiers, but did not see Zhao Zhong, so he asked: "Where is Da Changqiu?"
"
Zhang Rang's face twitched, and he sneered: "Julu Marquis should let the Queen go, and then capture her without restraint, so as not to damage the Queen's body in a fight later."
Chen Cheng smiled and said: "What is the meaning of Zhongshu Ling? The general has troops outside, do you and I still want to kill each other? Aren't we afraid that the snipe and the clam will fight and the fishermen will benefit?"
