Chapter 3016: Burning the Palace
Sun Pengyun was given the important task of monitoring King Gui, and naturally it was not given in vain. He drew his sword to block the hidden weapon, and chased after him, while shouting to his subordinates, "Protect King Gui!" ”
The person who jumped out of the room turned left and right, but his feet were not as strong as Sun Pengyun's, and he saw that the tip of the latter's knife was only a foot away from her back.
She heard footsteps getting closer behind her, and suddenly pulled something from her waist and turned around.
At the same time, Sun Pengyun's people were about to rush into the house where Zhu Youlang was, and someone raised his foot to kick the door open, and saw that a sparkling lead had burned to the end.
Immediately, there was a loud bang, and the house was suddenly filled with gunsmoke, and the nearest few people were instantly blown away more than three feet away. Then the fierce fire oil that had already been poured all over the ground ignited, and immediately thick smoke billowed out.
Sun Pengyun was so shocked that he looked back, and saw that King Gui's side was exploding and on fire, and he thought "Oh no", and he couldn't care about chasing people anymore, and he didn't turn back the same way without looking back.
The trigger of the reed wheel gun in Hui Wen's hand had been pulled halfway, and when she saw the pursuers leaving, she didn't want to use the gun to attract attention, and then the cat's waist disappeared into the night.
Sun Pengyun returned to the door of King Gui's house, raised his foot and was about to rush inside, but he was burned by a gushing tongue of fire, so he had to jump to his feet and shout for water.
On the other side, in fact, someone had already removed the tiles from Zhu Youlang's house, hung him on the roof with ropes, and dragged him carefully crawling through four or five rooms, and then found a place where no one came down.
But the man did not go out of the palace, but dragged him towards the stable of the fire, and halfway took two wooden basins from the hands of others, and mixed them into the crowd to put out the fire.
Of course, this fire is impossible to extinguish, and there are still people in Guy who will not stop the fire.
Within an hour, the entire Guiwang Mansion was all on fire, and the sky above the palace was as bright as day. Especially on the west side, where the fire first started, the fire was already out of control, and it was so hot that it was impossible to get close to the outside of the courtyard wall.
The man in brocade who entered the palace with Huiwen saw that the fire was almost over, and shouted at the top of his voice outside the armory of the palace guard: "Run, there is gunpowder here!" ”
He only shouted one sentence, and immediately someone who was fighting the fire spread the word in a panic. The nearby royal guards were busy comforting everyone, saying that the gunpowder had been removed when the water had just left.
But their voices were quickly silenced, and the frightened people of the palace saw that the fire was impossible to extinguish, and they didn't know who took the lead, and hundreds of people rushed out of the west gate of the palace with a hula.
Zhu Youlang was pulled in a daze, and he also ran out in the crowd. As soon as he left the palace, hundreds of Sun Pengyun's subordinates immediately held bows and shouted at everyone to gather together, and they were not allowed to walk around.
But the flame whirred outward, and their circle had to expand outward again and again.
After some time, more and more people escaped from the palace. However, more than a dozen people in night clothes touched the vicinity of the palace from a distance, and neatly put down some of Sun Pengyun's lone subordinates, and then turned to the next target.
Soon someone shouted at the top of his voice and took the lead in running out of the gap. The people under the palace had already been scorched, and they didn't even think about it, so they ran out.
Sun Pengyun and the others were also burned in the palace and couldn't resist it, so they had to retreat, and when they saw three or four hundred people in the palace running around, they hurriedly ordered their subordinates to chase after them.
At the same time, Zhu Youlang was taken to the southwest corner of the palace that was not so lively, and after running not far away, four soldiers with knives and guns held torches and shone on this side, and ordered them to stop.
When they approached, they saw two women, their faces covered with black and ash, each holding a wooden basin in their hands.
The leading sergeant pointed to the crowd in the distance and patted the not-so-ugly woman on the buttocks, "What are you running around, go, stand over there." ”
It was the first time that Zhu Youlang had grown so big and was "light" by someone, and he suddenly felt goosebumps all over his body falling to the ground.
He held back his anger, and was just about to raise his foot to the place where the man was pointing, when he suddenly saw the "aunt" who had been leading him away with a flick of his wrist and was knocking on the neck of the "thin" man, who didn't snort and fell to the ground on his back.
Several soldiers next to him never expected that a servant woman would be in trouble, and in a moment of stunnedness, another person was snatched away by the "aunt" with a single knife in his hand, and stabbed him in the ribs with a backhand.
Then the "aunt" made another move, "lazy donkey rolling", dodging the muzzle of the gunner, and the blade slashed at the other person's calf.
The man was busy blocking with the side knife, but unexpectedly, the "aunt" rolled halfway, and suddenly jumped up like a spring, and the knife that had just hit the leg had reached the enemy's chest at this time.
With a soft pop, the knife fell over, but in the end, the gunner had already taken advantage of this gap to adjust his posture, aiming at the "aunt" and about to fire.
Zhu Youlang was frightened, and hurriedly took out the short gun on his body, the more anxious he was, the more unstable he became, and his fingers had not been hit by the trigger for a long time.
The next moment, however, the man suddenly fell forward, followed by a figure that stabbed him in the back of the neck.
"How did you get there?"
"There are seventy percent more secret posts outside the palace tonight." The person who came pointed behind him, "Mo Duoyan, go first." ”
Then three more men in black arrived, one of them was tall and carried Zhu Youlang behind him, and the rest were each holding a sword to protect each other. It's just that they didn't run far, they only turned a corner, turned into a dilapidated house one street away from King Gui's mansion, and then changed Zhu Youlang's clothes and led him to hide in the cellar behind the firewood house.
……
When Lu Jin saw that Mu Jing's entourage had come to see him late, he felt that something was wrong.
Sure enough, as soon as the visitor said a few words, he was stunned, "You, what are you talking about?!" ”
Xu Feihu smiled and said, "Lord Lu, you can also be regarded as meritorious to the imperial court, and we have arranged a retreat for you." The car is right outside the door, so please hurry. ”
"No way, I'm not leaving!"
As soon as Lu Jin's words fell, he heard a roar in the direction of King Gui's mansion, he hurriedly walked out of the house, raised his eyes, and saw that the palace had hidden fire.
"Lord Lu, our people have already done it." Xu Feihu said, "At this time, King Gui may have been blown into powder. If you don't leave, I'm afraid it'll be too late. ”
"You, you, hi ......" Lu Jin stomped his foot hard, took out his seal letter and other things, and ordered his henchmen to summon his wife and two sons, but several concubines couldn't control it.
Several people went out and got into Xu Feihu's carriage and galloped all the way to the east of the city.
At this time, the guards in the east of the city had not yet received the news of King Gui's mansion, and when they saw that it was Ding Dutang's henchmen who were ordered to leave the city by Deputy Envoy Lu of Judge, they did not dare to stop it.
After a brief discussion among the officers, they had the gates pushed open and the carriages departed.
When the car walked out of six or seven miles, the officers guarding the city learned that something had happened to the palace, and they were busy sending cavalry to chase after them. But Xu Feihu had already prepared the horses halfway through the road, and asked Lu Jin and his family to get on the horses and run south, but the carriage continued to the east.
