Chapter 187: Palace change (7)

On September 13th of Chongzhao's 30th year, the emperor was seriously ill, Jingwang forced the palace, the lesions in Beijing, and the wind and cranes were murmured.
This night, the sky and the sky in the capital of Beijing suddenly changed, and the rain water poured red, and the world was bloodied.
When the rain fell, Yingxiu was watching Chu Yao's wind and rain rummaging in the courtyard under the promenade. I didn't know how long after that, there was a slight falling sound behind him, and the spies were hidden in the shadows.
Yingxiu lips moved: "What time is it?"
"Yin Shi has arrived." After a pause, the spy's voice trembled a little. "Master Gu sent a secret letter from the palace, and Jing Jing died."
The hands with full sleeves clenched into fists at that moment.
Her eyes were tightly locked on Chu Yao ’s back, and the little boy was isolated from the world in this prison, unaware of a dramatic change tonight, and found a little clue under the stone table, using his hands to dig up the wet mud , Showing the corner of the wooden box.
Ying Xiu's eyes were stung by the smile on his face.
She lowered her eyelids and whispered: "Be clear."
"Master Gu killed Lin Chao and Beiman's spy on that day, half of the parchment was forged by Nan Ruan Fei Yu. Jing Jing only knew that Beiman would use the opportunity of the mission to launch a sneak attack, but he did not know Hu Ta. Ilte reminded that this battle was just a blitz, intending to adjust the strength of Tianjing, in fact there is not much chance of winning, and he must wait until the army leaves Beijing to make a quick decision ... However, this letter was intercepted by Master Gu and Nanru, and first reported Prime Minister Qin Mingde played the emperor again recently, so ... "
Yingxiu opened his eyes: "So, Chu Yun didn't go to Northern Xinjiang at all!"
King Cheng led 50,000 troops to leave, but after two days out of the city, he secretly returned from the mountain path to copy the dangerous road at night. Some of them were lurking outside the city, and some of them were mixed into the civilians and people who went in and out daily. When the rebels blocked the city gates Afterwards, they should cooperate inside and outside to regain control of the outside of the capital.
"Nuan Feiyu was in the heart of Lin Rong. He was instructed to be in charge of the deployment of the second batch of King Jing's troops. Before the incident, the camp was intentionally broken up, and half of the rebels were led to the outer city to return to the rebellious Cheng Wang army. The remaining half Then the Situ family and the forces of the family joined together to resist the Tengtian Gate. The Duan Wang's armor went into battle and cut off the rebel generals, and dispatched troops to the Jing Wang Mansion and Tang Family ...
"Princess Yuning killed the horse horse Tang Zhiyang with poisoned wine doves, won the Beijing guards and handed over to the emperor Taisun. The guards and dark guards who ambushed the palace in advance and the Jing rebels started fighting. After three hours, they were forced to reach all the way. The Liuhe Palace, but it has been controlled by the Jing King, and there are several princes and heavy ministers besides the emperor.
Ying Sleeve's heart tightened, and there was a thunder burst in the sky. The sound of the spy added to the thunder--
"Until King Jing held the emperor with a sword and kept guarding him around, he cut his right arm with a backhand, and the ambush took the opportunity to take down the chaotic party thief in the palace. Jing King heard outside and called to kill, knowing that the trend was gone, and cursed Gu Hengjian himself, on the spot Angered to death. "
The double pupils of the full sleeve tightened at this moment.
Chu Yao finally dug the wooden box out of the mud. He hurried to the light to open the box and found that there were three thin cicada-like cloths, a short knife and a note.
He shook his hand with a knife, and suddenly remembered that on the day of the apprenticeship, he was dissatisfied with a small wooden knife and asked for a real knife with Master coquettishly, but the Master joked innocently and said that he would mention it again when he grew up.
Now, such a sharp, sharp knife is in the box.
The three pieces of cloth are the mentality, footwork and knife technique of Jinghong Jue. Each word is a brilliant summary of Gu Xiao and Gu Biaofang's two generations of sword masters, and there are only three scribbles on the note. Words, sorry.
A thunder blew up nearby, and Chu Yao's mind suddenly buzzed, the paper slipped in muddy water, and the raised heart sank suddenly.
He tucked the cloth and the short knife into his arms and walked anxiously under the promenade. He did not find the two surplus sleeves hidden in the dark. His eyes were always staring at the door and the roof, while he was waiting for someone Haven't come back.
Suddenly there was a uniform footsteps outside, which was the sound of soldiers and horses going straight to the palace gate after the chaos, the war horses hissed in the sky, Jin Ge clanged.
Not only did Chu Yao never hear such a voice, but it was the first time he felt fear.
He realized that he had stayed here for almost a night, Gu Xiao had not returned, and did not know what was happening outside.
Chu Yao gritted his teeth, and after the soldiers went away, he pushed the gate hard. Unexpectedly, the courtyard door was not locked. He pushed open a slit and looked carefully outside, only to see nothing. Alleyway.
After hesitating a few times, he eventually ran out as a cat.
"Master, Master Gu said no ..."
"Where is he?" Yingxiu looked at the wooden box on the floor. "Since Jing Wang is dead, why doesn't he come back?"
The spy said: "King Gu was injured by the dark arrow and was being treated in the palace. I was afraid that he wouldn't be able to come back."
"Let's do it, let him go." Yingxiu said coldly, "Since Jing Jing is dead, no one in Jing Wang's mansion wants to run. How can we do this business without knowing the reason for cutting grass and roots? Since he killed Jing Wang, this child will definitely seek revenge on him, leaving a scourge to whom to trouble? "
"but……"
"It's hard to persuade the ghost, we are as promised at this time, and now Chu Yao will go back to find himself, and no one can blame anyone!" Da Qiu has reported that this mission is over! Notify everyone, except for the hidden piles of the news to continue lurking, the rest are ready, leaving the Beijing in the past two days, leaving the muddy water earlier! "
"……Yes!"
Chu Yao ran all the way braving the wind and rain.
Although he grew up in Tianjing, he rarely came to this remote place, and naturally did not know where Gu Xiao brought himself, so he had to run and search like a headless fly, not knowing how far he ran. I don't know how long it will be. When he stopped due to exhaustion, the sky was already bright and the rain had stopped.
There were gradually people around, except for a few people who were probed into the brain, most of them were soldiers in armor patrolling back and forth, but Gu Xiao deliberately put him on a rough cloth when he went out, and now he was tossed with muddy water. Unrecognizable this embarrassed half-big boy turned out to be an honorable little emperor.
The bluestone floor was wet and the Shili Long Street was still brightly lit. Soldiers came and went to search for possible rebel parties. Every household searched one by one, and many people were whispering.
Leng Buding, I don't know who shouted loudly: "Look, look! There is a fire there!"
"Ah! Take the water!"
"Where is that?"
"Yes, Jingwang Mansion!"
Chu Yao shivered, and immediately turned his head to look. Sure enough, he saw that the flames were red at the beginning.
The gray night sky was stained with ominous red by the firelight, and the dark clouds were like the torn flesh of the torn skin curled up in the firelight, and the wind screamed like the desperate howling of the dying man.
Chu Yao's heart suddenly jumped wildly.
For a time, he could not think of anything, and he dared not think about anything. He pulled his leg and ran towards the direction of the fire. The small body was desperately squeezed in the flow of people, but it was difficult to move.
Suddenly, tears came out of his eyes, and he clearly didn't see anything, but suddenly the wind blew across his ears, and burst into tears.
When he finally rushed outside the Jing Wang Mansion, there were many people around here. The soldiers blocked the crowd from the sword soldiers and turned into a large circle on the ground. The circle was the Wang Mansion swallowed by the fire.
Chu Yan likes hard liquor. Hundreds of altars of fine wine are hidden in the palace, but after the rain stopped, he was ordered by the princess to let his heart take the liquor and splash the royal palace. Then he arranged fire oil and ignited the lead wire, which contained all the evidence of dirt and dirt And torches that could leak confidential information are all burned.
Chu Yao did not stand firm at this moment, and fell down on the ground, and was suddenly trampled by the crowd of people, and his bones hurt.
He was at a loss at this moment, not knowing exactly what was happening, and even not reacting to what he had lost.
There is only one thought in Chu Yao's heart-the king's mansion is on fire. Where are the father and mother concubine? Did they escape?
As soon as this thought arose, Chu Yao couldn't sit still anymore. With the cover of the crowd, he quietly circulated to the hideout. For the first time in his life, he quickly and quietly climbed a big tree like Cen Tian.
He climbed high, but it was a pity to look at it from top to bottom, and there was only a sea of ​​fire and the people who were struggling for help in it. They were all servants in the government. "Rescue" soldiers are indifferent.
Chu Yao's heart sank suddenly.
The fire light stabbed the human eye, but he desperately opened his eyes and glanced back and forth, wanting to see the figure of King Jing and the princess, but unfortunately did not see it from beginning to end, but a team of people came and the leader was dressed in black with blood , The left arm is still wrapped with white gauze.
That was Gu Xiao, and there was Chu Xun and an unknown military general beside him.
Gu Xiao's face changed drastically when he saw the fire. He immediately kicked and fell into the sea of ​​fire. Chu Yao once again mentioned his throat in his heart, staring at Gu Xiao's figure in the sea of ​​fire, so small. The shadow is his only straw at this time.
Fire, broken beams, broken rocks, broken tiles ... These things smashed head down, ordinary martial arts are struggling, and Gu Xiao's footsteps are always forward.
Chu Yao watched as he finally broke into the main yard and was about to jump to speak with Chu Xun with relief, but suddenly heard that the general spoke to Chu Xun: "His Royal Highness, King Jing rebels against his sins, King Jing fears sins. It should also be her end. Why should Mr. Gu venture in? "
Chu Xun's bright yellow clothes were all mottled by blood stains. He didn't find anyone on it. He said coldly: "Although Jing Jing is dead, Yu Dang is still there. We didn't hold many live mouths. Important evidence and rosters are hidden in the palace. What else can be left after this fire? "
Chu Yao's mind turned blank in an instant.
Next, he seemed to be integrated with the trunk, and the atmosphere did not dare to come out. He listened to the conversation between Chu Xun and the military commander, sometimes mixed with other people's discussions, and pieced together into a "truth."
Rebellion, forced palace, backwaters, death ...
After all, Chu Yao was small and had limited knowledge. He did n’t understand so many intrigues, and he did n’t know the big crimes against the enemy, and he did n’t know how many right and wrong and secretiveness were behind it.
He only knew two things in these words, one was the death of his parents, and the other was his enmity.
"Brother Xun ..."
A murmur came from the top of my head, and Chu Xun was shocked. I saw an extremely small figure falling from the tree and rolled on the ground twice. Look up at him.
"Ayao ..." Chu Xun's heart jumped, and the hand holding the reins was tight and loose. After all, he signaled that the surrounding soldiers all put away their swords and retreated. Why are you here? Just now ... have you been? "
Chu Yao grabbed his hand tightly and stared at his eyes: "Brother Xun, my father ... and my mother concubine ..."
"..."
Chu Xun didn't know how to speak at this moment.
Chu Yao, always naive, read the answer from his face at this moment.
He unconsciously let go of his hand, buttocks sat on the ground, and tears suddenly burst out.
Chu Yao has been crying all the time, but all of them are coquettish and naughty, deliberately trying to attract people to coax him, but this time he is really crying and crying.
Chu Xuan clenched his hands into fists, ten fingers fell into the palm, took a deep breath, with the cruel taste of blood and fire.
A crackling sound came from behind the fire, which should be the sound of wood being burned and broken. At this moment, it was very clear, just like their broken past and friendship since then.
"Why, why ..."
Chu Xun bent down: "A Yao, you get up first ..."
"Your Highness, let go!"
"Bold!"
In an instant, Chu Xun's eyes were stabbed by a cold light, and the sound of the wind breaking behind him came instantly. It was the sound of the general's sword falling.
This knife was naturally not aimed at Chu Xun, but to the boy in his arms. The other party even pulled out a short knife from his arms and thrust it into Chu Xun's chest!
In the blink of an eye, the blades flew into the flesh, blood spattered out, spread in the wind, and settled in the dust.
Chu Xun was shoved to the ground when he could not let it go, and almost stumbled to the ground. A man stood in front of him and raised his hand to hold the ferocious knife. The chest was empty, and he was stabbed into the abdomen.
In a flash, everyone was stunned.
The blood flow slipped from the corner of Gu Xiao's lips. He slammed the general's long sword, held Chu Yao's hand tightly, and gently called out: "A Yao."
Chu Yao finally recovered, and his eyes fell on him.
Gu Xiao had nothing in his hands, because when he broke into the main court, there was no more Princess Jing.
The gentle water-like woman was still sitting indoors, cutting her throat with a long sword to kill herself, let Ren Lie burn the body, and Gu Xiao could only see the shadow of her no longer Hua through the twisted window.
Chu Yao's knife was not deep. He didn't know what he was doing. Naturally, he didn't have a good head, but Gu Xiao felt very hurt.
He could even think: "It hurts so much, I hurt so much ... How much does A Yao hurt now?"
Chu Yao saw him clearly, let go of his hand subconsciously, knelt down and muttered, "Master ... why ... it's you?"
Gu Xiao endured the pain and did not answer. Instead, he put up his hand knife and simply fell down, stunned Chu Yao, who had lost his mind. His body could no longer support it, and one stumbled down on his knees.
The military commander shouted: "This son is so bold that he dared to stab His Royal Highness Prince Sun. Thank you Master Gu for taking it down, and please ..."
"He didn't." Gu Xiao holding Chu Yao reluctantly stood up and looked directly at Chu Xun's eyes. "The person he is going to kill is me, not the emperor's grandson, so the right to dispose of me is not yours ... Your Highness, you said is it?"
