Empress Xiao waved her hand to the left and right, "You all stand down!" ”

The palace maids retreated one after another, and Empress Xiao said to her daughter: "Ji'er, you can go down too!" ”

Yang Jier shook her head, "My daughter won't leave!" ”

Empress Xiao was helpless, so she had to say to Zhang Kai: "If there is anything confidential, Doctor Zhang, please tell me!" ”

Zhang Kai lowered his voice and said: "Tonight, Sima Dejiao is preparing to attack Yu Wenhua, and at the same time he wants to kidnap the Queen Mother, please prepare to change ships." ”

Empress Xiao was stunned, is it going to be dog-eat-dog so soon?

She pondered for a moment and asked with some puzzlement, "Doctor Zhang is preparing a ship for the mourning family?" ”

Zhang Kai smiled bitterly, "Where does Weichen have this ability, it is the King of Qi who sent someone to contact Mai Mengcai, and General Mai will arrange it." ”

Empress Xiao glanced at him in surprise, "It turns out that Doctor Zhang is the person of King Qi?" ”

Zhang Kai's face was full of shame, and he said for a while: "Wechen took the wrong path for a while, but the King of Qi gave Wechen a chance so that Wechen could redeem his sins." ”

Empress Xiao understood, she nodded, "Knowing that mistakes can be changed, good is great, Zhang Yizheng deserves to be a smart person." ”

"Thank you Queen Mother for your forgiveness!"

Empress Xiao didn't really want to forgive him, but the situation made her have to compromise, she thought for a while and said: "There are more than 20 palace maids around the mourning family, all of whom have followed me for many years, can they go with me?" ”

"More than 20 people should be fine, you can go together, but you can't have too much luggage, just bring some personal belongings, and the time is at the second watch."

"The mourning family knows!"

Zhang Kai bowed and retreated, and Empress Xiao said to her daughter: "Go and pack up your important things!" Soon we were on our way. ”

Yang Ji'er nodded silently, got up and went down.

As the time gradually came to two o'clock, most of the soldiers in the barracks on both sides of the strait had fallen asleep, the barracks had become dark, and most of the boats in the canal had their lights extinguished. The planks of the ships were removed, and the people on board could not get off the boat, and there were groups of patrolling soldiers on the shore, except for the heavily guarded dragon boats, which were brightly lit and laughing, the rest of the ships were silent.

Yu culture and although absurd and lascivious. But when he was the general of Zuotunwei, he commanded an army of 20,000 Xiaoguo, absolutely obeying his orders, and this was also his core army, which was called the 'Taibao Army' by Yu Wenhua, and they did not participate in battles, but were used to patrol, monitor, and suppress officials who were ready to rebel.

Thousands of large ships were moored in the Tongji Canal in a disorderly manner, among which the Empress Dowager's Xiang Zhou and the two Blue Bird Boats on which the civil and military officials were riding were closely monitored by thousands of Xiaoguo on the shore, and no ships were allowed to approach around these three large ships.

At this time, an army of several thousand people gradually approached the small camp of the Xiaoguo Army on the shore. This small camp is close to the Empress Dowager's Xiang Zhou and the Blue Bird Boat of the civil and military officials, and there are 2,000 soldiers in the camp, who are responsible for guarding the Empress Dowager and the civil and military officials.

In the dark, Hu Benlang and Hu Yalang looked at each other, and each of them led two thousand soldiers to touch the small camp from the left and right, their task was to cover Mai Mengcai to save people, and at the same time, there was movement on the river. More than a dozen large ships, led by Mai Mengcai and Shen Guang, silently sailed towards the Xiangyu Boat and the Blue Bird Boat.

Mai Meng saw that the hour had come. He whispered, "Send a signal!" ”

A rocket shot into the sky from the bow of the ship, the flames were particularly eye-catching in the night sky, Fan Wenchao and Qian Jie roared at the same time, "Do it!" ”

Four thousand soldiers marched on the small camp from the left and right, and there was no fence around the camp and no spear array. There were only a few teams of patrol soldiers, and when they found countless soldiers in the darkness killing this side, they were immediately frightened and shouted and ran towards the camp, "Someone has rebelled!" ”

Four thousand soldiers burst into the small camp. Countless soldiers in their sleep were awakened one after another, they fled in a hurry, crying and screaming, at this time, Fan Wenchao ordered the camp tent to be lit, and a sea of fire suddenly appeared on the shore, and hundreds of soldiers patrolling on the shore did not care about the boats and ran towards the camp.

The patrol soldiers were transferred, Mai Mengcai and Shen Guang led more than 20 big ships to approach the Xiang Bird Boat and the Blue Bird Boat, and began to save people, Mai Mengcai was responsible for saving the civil and military officials, Shen Guang led a big ship to the Xiang Zhou boat, he shouted, jumped on the big boat, the long knife was swung out, the two surveillance guards on the side of the ship were split into the water, and dozens of high-skilled Qingzhou Army scouts also jumped off the deck and followed Shen Guang to the guards on the deck to kill, at this time, Shen Guang had already taken control of the stairs to prevent the guards from escaping into the upper floor in the chaos.

In just a moment, all fifty guards on the first deck were killed, and the scouts threw their bodies down the canal, at this time, Empress Dowager Xiao led Yang Ji'er and more than 20 palace maids down to the staircase, nervously waiting for the boat change.

Shen Guang stepped forward and knelt down on one knee, "Shen Guang, the commander of the Qingzhou Army, came to rescue the Queen Mother on the order of the marshal." ”

Empress Xiao nodded, "General Shen has worked hard, can I leave now?" ”

"Please get on board the Queen Mother!"

The big boat next to him had already put on a few planks, and the palace maids helped Empress Xiao and the delirious Concubine Xiao Shufei to get on the big boat, Yang Ji'er looked at both sides and asked Shen Guangdao, "Is General Zhang here?" ”

Shen Guang smiled slightly, "He was waiting at the mouth of the river and specially instructed me to rescue the little princess." ”

Yang Ji'er suddenly burst into high spirits, showing her first smile after the death of her father, she nodded, and followed her mother to the boat quickly.

The Xiang Boat and the Blue Bird Boat were tied to the shore by thick iron chains, unable to drive, and could only change boats, Xiao Hou got on the big boat, and the hundreds of civil and military officials behind also changed boats, and the four thousand soldiers waiting on the shore also began to quickly get on the boat.

At this moment, Yu Wenhua and the direction of the dragon boat also broke out with a shouting of killing, this is Sima Dejiao and others took advantage of the chaos to attack Yu Wenhua and the dragon boat where it is, more than 600 guards under the leadership of Sima Dejia launched a fierce attack on more than 1,000 guards on the shore of the dragon boat, and the two sides fought fiercely.

Yu Wenhua, who was drinking and having fun, heard the shouting and killing, so frightened that he threw away his wine glass and ran out of the cabin and asked, "What's going on?" ”

The guard pointed to the fierce battle on the shore and said, "Someone is going to attack His Highness, and the brothers are desperately resisting!" ”

Yu Wenhuaji's wine was suddenly frightened awake, and he was so anxious that he stomped his feet, "Hurry up and inform the general and let him bring the army to suppress it!" ”

"I've been informed, and I'll be there soon."

Suddenly, there was a commotion behind him, Yu Wenhua hurriedly ran to the left, and more than a dozen guards pointed to the river and shouted: "Your Highness, look! ”

I saw a fleet of boats appear on the river, about 20 large ships passed by them quickly, the boats were full of soldiers, and quickly sailed north, Yu Wenhua was stunned, what is going on?

The fleet was dispatched by his brother Yu Wenzhi and never asked, although he was puzzled in his heart, but this may be his brother Yu Wenzhi and arranged for them to prevent the Qingzhou army from taking the opportunity to sneak attack, Yu Wenhua and did not order to intercept, but he didn't know who was sitting on these twenty or so warships.

At this time, Yu Wen Zhihe has sent his general Zhang Tong'er to lead 5,000 troops to protect Yu Wenhua, they quickly surrounded Sima Dejiao and his men, because the military spirit has been unstable, Yu Wen Zhihe must sit in the barracks to prevent the army from mutiny, he sent more than a dozen cavalry to check the situation around the barracks, and report to him at any time.

This is destined to be a sleepless night, the barracks and the river bank many fires, the flames are soaring, everywhere is a chaos, the soldiers are unstable, the generals have their own thoughts, many generals know that the small camp has an accident, but they refuse to send troops to rescue, the Xiang Boat and the Blue Bird Boat are still moored on the bank of the river, very quiet, it seems to be safe, but in fact the boat has been empty.

A team of Yuwen Zhi and the cavalry sent by him rushed to the foot of the Xiang Boat, raised his head for the first lieutenant and asked loudly, "Is there anyone on duty on the ship?" ”

He asked several times in a loud voice, but there was no sound above, and the lieutenant suddenly felt that something was wrong, and shouted the order, "Climb up to the two to check the situation!" ”

Since there were no planks, the two soldiers had to climb onto the big boat by the chains, and after a while, they ran to the side of the boat and shouted: "There is no one on board, it is an empty ship!" ”

The lieutenant was shocked that the Queen Mother had disappeared, so he was so anxious that he turned his horse's head and ran to the camp to report. (To be continued.) )
