Chapter 515: Princess Pingyang
A faint sobbing sound spread from the Bishui Pavilion to the outside of the courtyard. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The guards in front of the door glanced at each other, and the captain in charge of guarding the Bishui Pavilion said to Du Yu: "General, it's okay to have us here, as long as we are here, this concubine can't escape." ”
"Well, there must be no mistakes, you can hear very clearly how His Royal Highness the Crown Prince commanded." Du Yu's expression was cold, and his eyes swept over Zhao Yujie's body, he was the deputy general of the Inner Palace Guard.
After explaining the matter, Du Yu turned around and walked outside the palace, if it was not early today, Zhao Yujie was in charge of the vigil tonight, and he could go back to rest.
Seeing Zhao Yujie's figure disappear at the end of the stone path, Zhao Yujie, who was originally respectful, suddenly showed a sneer at the corner of his mouth.
At this time, one of the soldiers said: "Lord Captain, why hasn't His Royal Highness the Crown Prince handed over this inner palace guard to the lord to command, this Du Yu is a close minister of the emperor's side, which is worrying." ”
Zhao Yujie said coldly: "Because of this, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will send us to guard the Bishui Pavilion, it can be seen that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also distrusts him, but only he can mobilize the guards of the inner palace, if he moves at this time, he will inevitably kill, and this Du Zhen and Yang Zhen took the initiative to join His Royal Highness the Prince, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is also suspicious." ”
"Hehe, I used to think that this Du Yu was a loyal minister, but I didn't expect it to be just a wall grass." Another soldier scoffed.
"Loyalist? There are still a few loyal ministers in this great Yu country, and it is true that they can keep their status and wealth. Zhao Yujie said lightly, at first, according to the plan, they were going to kill Du Yu and seize the inner palace.
It's just that I never thought that Du Yu took the lead in taking refuge with the prince, and because of this, they successfully took control of the inner palace.
"It's a pity it's a step too late." Zhao Yujie was a little annoyed in his heart, he was just one step away from being able to become the commander of the Inner Palace Guards, and now he had to be subservient.
However, he believed that he would not wait too long, once the crown prince ascended the throne, Du Yu would definitely die, so he should show his face now under His Royal Highness the crown prince.
Thinking of this, he looked at the Bishui Pavilion and said solemnly: "Keep my eyes open for me, not a single fly can go in, otherwise be careful of your head."
"Yes." The guards in front of the door said in unison.
Outside the palace gate, Du Yu got on his horse and went home.
At this time, Chang'an City was still prosperous, as calm as usual, and there was no abnormality to be seen, and the people were unaware.
But what they didn't know was that there had been a great change in the palace.
Turning from Suzaku Avenue to Fang Street, and then entering Minfang, Du Yu instinctively felt a hint of danger when passing through an intersection in Fang.
Just as he was about to flee, sixteen people suddenly appeared in front of him.
He looked at the sixteen faces vigilantly, and five of them turned out to be Chang'an people who had been living in this square area.
"Who are you?" Du Yu drew his sword and said angrily.
As soon as his words fell, a voice sounded, "General Du, His Royal Highness my family treats you well, why did you take refuge in His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, this is really chilling." ”
Du Yu looked at where the voice came from, and then the young man got out of the way, and walked out alone while rubbing his chin.
"Li San!" Seeing the visitor, Du Yu was taken aback.
"Exactly down there." Li San's smile was a little weird, "General Du, let's talk, you should understand what they are holding, no matter how high your martial arts are, it is useless." ”
Du Yu's eyes swept over the hands of Li San and the others, these were all short club-shaped weapons, and he immediately understood what this was.
"Muskets." Du Yu knew that he couldn't resist at all, he had seen the power of these firearms, and the armor couldn't stop it at all.
Li San gestured, and a member of the secret guard immediately covered Du Yu's eyes with a cloth.
Then Du Yu only felt that he had gotten into a carriage and walked a long way, and when he could see things, he found himself in a firewood house, and Li San was facing him.
"General Du, let's make a long story short, what is going on with the emperor and Concubine Zhen now?" Li San asked coldly, now he must use all means in order to rescue Concubine Zhen.
Du Zhen looked at Li San fixedly, he didn't answer Li San's question but said, "I didn't expect Yang Zhen's words to be right, this secret guard really exists." ”
"Yang Zhen." Li San showed a trace of disdain, "Yang Zhen of Lijingmen?" What a dog thief who sees the wind and steers the rudder. ”
"This is a bad statement, whether it is a traitor or a loyal minister, who is not trying to survive in this troubled world." Du Yu's voice was a little hoarse.
Li San said disdainfully: "It turns out that General Du and the traitors in the court are just people all the way, since this is the case, I can kill you with peace of mind." ”
With that, Li San raised his short-barreled musket and pointed it at Du Yu.
"Kill me, who can rescue Concubine Zhen and the emperor from the palace." Du Yu looked directly at Li San, as if he had guessed Li San's thoughts.
Li San suddenly laughed when he heard this, and then he slowly put down the musket, "General Du is really a smart person, but sometimes being smart is mistaken by being smart, do you think that without you, I can't save Concubine Zhen?" ”
"In that case, why did you come to me?" Du Yu still looks like he is winning.
Li San said slowly: "Since it is for the side of the Qing monarch, except for the ministers!" ”
As soon as the words fell, Li San raised his musket and aimed it at Du Yu's forehead, "General Du, you should have thought that there would be today." ”
"Wait!" Just as Li San was about to pull the trigger, Du Yu suddenly spoke.
"What, does General Du have any last words? I'm still scared......" Li San said contemptuously.
Du Yu looked at Li San, as if he had made up his mind, he said, "If the emperor asked me to pretend to join the crown prince, would you believe it?" ”
"The emperor asked you to pretend to join the crown prince?" Li San's expression moved slightly.
Du Yu sighed slightly, he didn't want to tell this secret, but now Li San asked him not to say it, otherwise how could he be worthy of Xiao Wenxuan if he died before he left the school.
"What's going on?" Li San's expression became confused.
Du Yu said slowly at this time: "After the emperor fainted for the first time, he already suspected the East Palace and the queen, and when he woke up, he summoned me to talk about this matter secretly, the emperor knew that the prince dared to act like this must be completely prepared, and there must be people placed by the prince among the guards of the inner palace, in order to control this palace, the prince will definitely kill me, rather than this, it is better to pretend to take refuge in the prince may be able to leave his life and act at the opportunity." ”
After a pause, Du Yu continued: "And knowing the son Mo Ruo's father, in the emperor's opinion, the prince is incompetent and rejoicing, just for his own use, after I took refuge, the prince was really happy, and did not make it difficult for me, but the emperor is really worried about not the prince, but the king of Zhao, now the intrigues and tricks in this palace have the shadow of King Zhao, once King Zhao enters Beijing, with King Zhao's old scheming will return to the sky and lack skills, although I would like to see Fei Zhongshu and General Luo, but Yang Zhen took refuge in the prince, this Chang'an City is full of his eyeliner, I'm the one he's watching, and I can't get the message out at all. ”
