Novoland: Eagle Flag Chapter 1: The fourth day of Yunlong
The musicians began to play cheerful and chaotic music again, and the dancers who had been urging drinks at the guest table heard the whispers of the servants, and suddenly slipped out of the arms of the distinguished guests, and gathered in the middle hall to dance enchantingly. The servants opened more wine jars beside them. Some people were alarmed by the arrival of the inner eunuch, but did not hear the conversation inside the silver curtain. When they felt a little uneasy, the dancers had already started to take off the light gauze silver chains on their bodies, and threw them around one by one.
Xie Qiwei didn't invite many Fangzheng gentlemen to the banquet in the backyard, people's minds were attracted there, and the atmosphere of leisure and joy was restored in the warm pavilion.
Ye Yongrong was extremely disturbed, looking at Xiang Kongyue who had never said a word, the young man in white was sitting there quietly, but his hands were tightly wrapped around the tin cup, clearly suppressing the fluctuations in his heart.
"Master Xiang..." Ye Yongrong said in a low voice.
Her hand suddenly fell into Xiang Kongyue's palm, and Xiang Kongyue's slender and powerful hand squeezed her tightly. Leaning weakly against her, he put his mouth next to her ear. The warm feeling of spring in his chest had just been suppressed, and it rolled up again. Ye Yongrong smelled the slightly scorched smell of Xiang Kongyue's white clothes, and suddenly became a little dazed.
"Staff Ye, look around!" Xiang Kongyue whispered in her ear.
Ye Yongrong was startled, and took a sneak peek, only to find that the side doors on all sides of the Nuan Pavilion, which was originally open, had been silently closed at this time. Although the main entrance is still open, there are more attendants and warriors with knives, and countless figures are shadowy and shadowy behind the curtain, but they are not just maids and servants serving wine.
In just a blink of an eye, this place has been quietly sealed into an iron barrel.
"I'm afraid the emperor is going to die!" Xiang Kongyue whispered, "We have to get out of here quickly, if we want to, don't struggle."
As he spoke, Xiang Kongyue had already wrapped his arms around her shoulders, pressed her head on his shoulders, and gently smoothed her sweaty temples. Outsiders saw that Xiang Kongyue embraced the beautiful woman so tenderly, and Ye Yongrong felt like a deer bumped her heart, but she clearly felt that Xiang Kongyue's hands were as cold as ice, and trembling slightly. She slightly raised her head to look at Xiang Kongyue's eyes, those eyes quietly scanned the surroundings, like a hunting eagle.
She suddenly felt what a terrible person she had met.
"The beauty is drunk, the beauty is drunk!" Xiang Kongyue waved his hand and shouted to a servant not far away, "I want to send Miss Ye down to rest, is there a guest house in the mansion?"
The servants still don't know his identity, seeing him shouting drunk, he is the spirit of a celebrity from Tianqi, they dare not neglect, they leaned over and saw Ye Yongrong's cheeks were blushing, there is no need to pretend.
"I want to sleep, wait and go!" Xiang Kongyue stood up staggeringly, wrapping her arms around Ye Yongrong's waist gently.
The servants hesitated for a moment, called a few maidservants to help Xiang Kongyue and Ye Yongrong, and sent them out from the back porch.
The back garden is covered with white snow, stepping on the wooden bridge over the creek, the noise in the warm pavilion has gone away. Xiang Kongyue stopped suddenly, and before the maid who supported him had time to react, she was punched heavily in the back of the head. At this moment, Ye Yongrong was convinced that he really didn't know martial arts at all. Not only was the maid not stunned, but she screamed out loud.
Ye Yongrong raised his elbow and hit the maidservant in the throat, causing her to choke, and then instantly eliminated the remaining two.
"Let's go! I hope the gate hasn't been sealed yet!" Xiang Kongyue took her hand and rushed against the wind and heavy snow. There was a faint human voice behind him, and the warriors of the Xie Mansion had already heard it.
Ye Yongrong smiled wryly, wondering why he would take such a big risk with this white-clothed stranger, was it because he had danced with him before? The first and only person in the world who ever danced with himself.
The two rushed to the street, the night was already dark, and everything was covered by snow like goose feathers.
Xiang Kongyue couldn't help but tore a passerby who was riding a horse off his horse, threw down a handful of money and got on the horse with Ye Yongrong. Ye Yongrong rode his horse, he sat astride the back, and said in a low voice: "Quick, go to the South Gate Camp!"
"What are you going to do?"
"Do you think Xie Qiwei is really going to die?" Xiang Kongyue shouted loudly while galloping, "If there is anyone who can stop the emperor now, only you and me."
"Why?"
"Xie Qiwei is an important minister of the royal family, and he has contacts with Ying Wuyi. He is not considered an imperial party, nor is he considered a Li Guo party. He benefits from being in the middle. If nothing happens, he will definitely persuade the emperor, but When the army gathered, although the forbidden army had not yet reached the Ligong Mansion, His Majesty had already torn away the veil of harmony between the monarch and his subjects. How could the Lord Ying Wuyi allow such a thing? He would never let His Majesty go. Xie Qiwei is now going Advise Your Majesty, Ying Wuyi will probably regard him as a royal party member, why would Xie Qiwei take such a risk? It would be good if he didn't report to Ying Wuyi!"
"What evidence do you have for saying that? Then how will the Tai Tuo deal with King Jian?"
"It's ridiculous. If Xie Qiwei really wanted to die, he would probably call out on the spot and bring the noble family heads with him. Maybe there is still some hope of success. Now he is going alone. It is well known that he is close to Ying Wuyi. Is it possible to dispel His Majesty's anger? He just wants to block the news and wait and see the changes. As for King Jian, half of his horse's leg is almost buried in the snow tonight, so what's the difficulty in trying to block him on the road?"
Ye Yongrong was choked by the cold wind, her chest was cold, and then she shivered suddenly, these subtle details were beyond her imagination, the wisdom of this young clerk can really be described as a ghost.
"What is the plan for now?"
"There is only one game of gambling. If you win the bet, you will open the portal of the king's domain, and let the princes and Ying Wuyi fight another battle of King Qin; if you lose the bet," Xiang Kongyue gently touched her soft skin. Chang, "You and I will be buried with the royal family."
Ye Yongrong twisted his head forcefully: "Say it."
"Now the only person who can approach King Qin is the Habayashi General Cheng Duxue who is stationed in the Weihe River. He also has 25,000 well-equipped Habayashi Heavenly Army under him. We only need three to five hundred people now, blocking the way After robbing His Majesty's Luanjia and guarding the Forbidden Palace to the death, Ying Wuyi will definitely lead troops to force the palace when he hears the news. At that time, Cheng Duxue will be summoned by flying pigeons with His Majesty's seal to rescue him. Cheng Duxue's 25,000 Lin Tianjun and Ying Wuyi's The thunder cavalry confrontation will definitely alarm the princes. Huaye has garrisoned 30,000 troops in Dangyang Valley in the north. He has been waiting for several years. In the south, Chu Weiguo and Xiatang will immediately respond. We will move the fierce battle of Suoheshan to the imperial capital. Hit!"
"But you... hijacked the holy driver?"
"What else can we do? Peng Qianli still can't persuade the emperor to return to the emperor. For a soldier like you and me, can he listen to us?"
"General Cheng Duxue has been stationed in Weihe River for three years, and he is not allowed to enter Beijing. You can be sure that General Cheng Duxue will return to help the imperial capital?"
Xiang Kongyue raised her snow-covered eyebrows and laughed, "It's like I'm sure that Chief Ye will take this big risk with me."
The camp at the South Gate is here in a blink of an eye.
Xiang Kongyue jumped off his horse, walked in against the heavy snow, and shouted: "Hu Dutong! Hu Dutong!"
The sergeant guarding the gate knew him and came up to him: "Hu Dutong is already asleep, is Mr. Xiang looking for a drink with Dutong, or is it business?"
"I'm going to die." Xiang Kongyue smiled evilly.
"Dead?"
"It's the dead emperor!"
A person wearing a cloak and a hood strode out of the tent, laughing loudly and boldly from a distance. Approaching Ye Yongrong, he saw that he was only wearing a close-fitting jacket, with a curly beard all over his face, and his hands were covered with needle forest-like hairs, he was a rough warrior. Xiang Kongyue and this person stood together, as if the moon in the void shone on a wild beast, and the clear moonlight did not match its ferocity at all.
Xiang Kongyue grabbed Hu Dutong's hand and said, "Share an opportunity to make a difference with Dutong!"
Hu Dutong was stunned for a moment, and Xiang Kongyue whispered in his ear. His yellow eyes widened suddenly, as if he couldn't believe his ears, he stared blankly at Xiang Kongyue.
"Don't ask me about this! Is this a chance to make contributions, or is it a chance to get your head off?" Du Tong came back to his senses and took a step back, "Is Kong Yue betting on your wealth with my head?"
"I have known you for a long time, when did you ever cheat?" Xiang Kongyue was not flustered, "This is General Ye of the Yulin Heavenly Army Shogunate. General Ye was ordered by General Cheng Duxue to guard the imperial capital. If something happens, as long as we send out carrier pigeons, 25,000 forest soldiers can return to Beijing from the Weihe River for rescue in just one night. Now that things happen suddenly, if we don't do anything, when General Cheng Duxue returns to help, His Majesty will not be there, and there will be no dragons .”
"General Cheng Duxue?" Hu Dutong hesitated, looking at Ye Yongrong with disheveled temples.
The shogunate of the Yulin Heavenly Army are all descendants of a military family. Ye Yongrong's background and appearance are quite rumored in the imperial capital. He clearly knows the daughter of the Ye family in Yunzhong; It was identified as the root of King Qin's overcoming chaos, and it became more and more popular in the streets and alleys.
Ye Yongrong tried not to avoid his eyes. She has been in the army for two years, but she has never met Cheng Duxue stationed in the Weihe River, but at this time, she can only follow Xiang Kongyue to fulfill this lie.
"It's not too late, let's talk in the tent." Xiang Kongyue pushed Du Tong's chest, and the three of them stepped into the tent.
Ye Yongrong turned his head abruptly. It turned out that there was a brazier in the tent to keep warm, and under the quilt of the big bed, two naked women tremblingly looked at these unexpected guests, their faces were covered with white powder and rouge, they were all from low-end brothels Happy woman. No wonder the sergeants on guard rushed up to stop them.
Xiang Kongyue glanced at it, smiled coldly, grabbed the red and green dresses next to her and threw them on the two prostitutes, and shouted: "Get out!"
The prostitutes were frightened by him, and they stumbled into the wind and snow with their clothes in their arms.
Du Tong slammed his feet: "Xiang Kongyue, what do you want?"
"Hu Dutong, let me tell you, tonight is your chance to fly to the sky or be buried in the loess forever in your life. Dutong also told me that after serving in the army for twelve years, he wished he would not follow Emperor Wu's Northern Expedition, and he wished he would not join Emperor Shi Huangdi. In the world, there is no chance to make a contribution. Tonight, the turmoil of the world has begun. The emperor and Ligong confront each other, and the two must die. To support the emperor and Ligong, you must choose one.”
"But hijacking the holy driver..." Dutong slammed the table, "Even if you are here to protect the driver, who can guarantee that His Majesty will not behead you afterwards?"
"It can't be guaranteed, but if you want to beheaded, my head will fall with you! At this time, the Taifu has got the news and went to secretly report to Ying Wuyi. Naturally, you will be aware of it. You and I intercept His Majesty now and send him back to the Forbidden Palace. Afterwards, His Majesty calms down and will not kill loyal ministers. What's more, there are only four or five hundred people in the Imperial Palace. If you want to guard the Forbidden Palace, you have to With the help of Dutong's men and horses. We have already released flying pigeons, and we need to rely on Dutong's men and horses to support General Cheng. How could His Majesty kill Dutong?"
"But even if this is a meritorious deed, it is also a meritorious deed from a narrow escape..."
Xiang Kongyue was stunned for a moment, and suddenly spat **** the ground: "Then Xiang Kongyue misunderstood Dutong. Xiang Kongyue thought Dutong was a man who aspired to follow Emperor Fengyan to make a career. , but the barbarians in the Northern Expedition, how many men died in battle, only one in a thousand can be named a marquis and worship general. General Dayin and Li Lingxin also lost their halberds on the battlefield, but why don’t they do it because they are afraid of death? Guarding such smeared street prostitutes, you can save your life. I dare not make friends with the people who are about to die with Staff Officer Ye!"
After finishing speaking, as soon as he pulled Ye Yongrong's hand, he turned around and was about to pay the bill. Ye Yongrong was pulled by him involuntarily, but saw the moment when he turned his back, a faint smile flitted across his lips.
"That's all!" Dutong slammed the table and growled.
"That's all?" Xiang Kongyue turned her head back, her eyes burning.
"Since Mr. Xiang and Staff Officer Ye can't think of me as vulgar, then I will gather my people to support the emperor!"
Xiang Kongyue's expression was indifferent: "Maybe if I go, I won't be able to come back."
"Xiang Kongyue, don't underestimate me!" Hu Dutong stared at him with yellow eyes, and suddenly pulled out his saber, slashing off a corner of the table.
Xiang Kongyue looked at him without saying a word, and then laughed lowly.
