Chapter 424 [Killing Order] (I)
When dawn came, the two had already come to the outside of Kangdu, Hu Xiaotian was not in a hurry to enter Kangdu, but chose to take a short rest in an inn outside the city, called a room, and Murong Feiyan entered the room, Hu Xiaotian had made full preparations before going to the imperial tomb to find Murong Feiyan, he took out a human skin mask and handed it to Murong Feiyan, and took out a set of clothes for her to change into. Taking advantage of the time when Murong Feiyan was washing and changing, he quietly came to the tea shop outside to inquire about the news, and as soon as he sat down, he saw that from the direction of the capital, a large group of people and horses were heading towards the location of the imperial tomb.
A group of tea-drinking guests around also inquired one after another, judging from the number and size of the team, at least about 20,000 people, and there must be a major event in the dispatch of an army of this size in the capital. The surrounding guests didn't know what was happening at the Imperial Mausoleum, and they talked about it one by one.
Hu Xiaotian listened attentively, and after listening for a while, he didn't hear any valuable news. At this time, seeing a handsome young man striding to his side and sitting down, and taking a closer look at Murong Feiyan, who turned out to be a disguised person, Hu Xiaotian couldn't help laughing, this mask is easier than changing his face, and it is also pleasing to the eye, and he has been cultivating and changing his face for a while, but every time he changes his ugly, it would be good if he could become more handsome.
Murong Feiyan picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea, looked at the team passing in front, and said in a low voice: "It seems that it has alarmed the imperial court." ”
Hu Xiaotian nodded, looked around, and said in a low voice: "[A storm is inevitable.] As he spoke, there was thunder rolling in the sky in the distance, Hu Xiaotian subconsciously raised his head, but saw that the sky was overcast, and a storm was coming. turned her face to look at Murong Feiyan, but saw her holding the tea cup in a daze, I don't know what she was thinking? Hu Xiaotian said: "Let's go." Let's go back and talk. "It will take a while for the team of more than 20,000 people to pass through, and there is no hurry to return to the capital, and they will leave after the army has left.
When the two returned to the room, they could still hear the sound of neat steps outside, Murong Feiyan bit her lip and said, "Xiaotian." I'm afraid I'm in trouble this time. ”
Hu Xiaotian said with a smile: "We haven't seen any troubles along the way, when have you ever been afraid?" Reaching out to hold Murong Feiyan's soft wattle, he comforted her not to be afraid.
Murong Fei said: "How do you know that I am at the construction site of the Imperial Mausoleum?" ”
Hu Xiaotian said: "I am now the deputy commander of the imperial guard, isn't it a piece of cake to investigate your news?" ”
Murong Fei said: "Could it be that he sued you?" Then he shook his head and said: "Impossible, it was also his idea to let me go to guard the imperial mausoleum, he didn't want me to see you, how could he tell you my news again." The one in her mouth he was naturally referring to was her father Murong Zhan.
Hu Xiaotian smiled and said: "None of this is important, the most important thing is that I found you, and I will never let you walk away from me in the future." ”
Murong Feiyan's heart warmed. Grabbed his big hand, put it on his face, and whispered, "I'm tired!" ”
Hu Xiaotian said: "When you are tired, sleep in my arms, I will guard you." ”
Murong Feiyan nodded, lying in Hu Xiaotian's arms, at this time, there was a dense sound of rain outside, and a heavy rain came as scheduled.
Of course, Hu Xiaotian knew what Murong Feiyan was worried about, she was not just worried about herself. I'm afraid that there is still Murong Zhan, and the old emperor attaches great importance to the construction of the imperial mausoleum. It can even be said that he has exceeded his concern for Dakang Sheji, believing that he can still pass the Guò Emperor's Mausoleum to be immortal after his death, and maybe he can be resurrected one day in the future. Now that the imperial tomb has been burned down by the people who have risen up, if the hope in the old emperor's heart is cut off, he is likely to be angry because of this, and he does not know what crazy thing to do.
Murong Feiyan is one of the main leaders of the Imperial Tomb Guard. It must be a capital crime, and Murong Zhan may also be affected because of this incident.
Hu Xiaotian gently stroked her hair, but saw a tear slowly flowing out of the corner of Murong Feiyan's eyes, Hu Xiaotian lowered his head and kissed her forehead. He whispered, "Don't worry, I'm here for everything!" ”
The imperial tomb was burned, 50,000 migrant workers rose up, and after they killed the soldiers and horses of the imperial tomb guard, 50,000 people marched to the northwest. The rebellion of the imperial tomb migrant workers shocked the government and the opposition, Long Xuanen was so shocked when he learned the news that he almost didn't fall off the dragon chair, and he roared angrily: "Is there a royal law in the eyes of these people? It's the other way around! It's all reversed! ”
Zhou Ruiyuan and Wen Chenghuan, who rushed to hear the news, did not dare to speak, and when the emperor was angry, it was very likely that he would burn himself and make him angry at himself.
Long Xuanen yelled at Wang Qian: "Go, bring Hong Beimo and Murong Zhan to me!" ”
Wang Qian went in a panic.
Long Xuanen's hands trembled with anger, and his eyes fell on the faces of Zhou Ruiyuan and Wen Chenghuan: "Why don't you speak?" Yes? Why don't you speak? ”
Wen Chenghuan said: "Your Majesty, don't be angry, you must take care of the dragon body, now the news from the imperial tomb has not been implemented, and the specific loss situation is not clear, maybe the actual situation is not as bad as imagined." ”
Long Xuanen said angrily: "I have told you to ensure the safety of the imperial tomb, but now this situation has happened!" Do you people really care about me? ”
Zhou Ruiyuan sighed in his heart, the emperor only remembered his imperial tomb in his heart, why not think more about the people, if you can think more about the people, there will be no rebellion, the first problem facing Dakang is the food shortage, it is not the construction of the imperial tomb, life comes and dies, and in the end it is not dust to dust to return to the earth, you galloped the world before you died, but after death it is nothing more than to occupy the land of Zhangxu, why should the emperor be obsessed with the matter behind him and not regret it? Zhou Ruiyuan just thought about these words in his heart, and he definitely didn't dare to say it in front of Long Xuanen, let alone open his mouth when he was angry.
Murong Zhan hurried over, he had just received the news of the rebellion at the Imperial Mausoleum construction site, he was both panicked and worried, and he was terrified that many people in the Imperial Mausoleum Guards were recommended by him, and now that such a big thing happened over there, the emperor would inevitably hold him responsible, worried that his daughter was sent by him to let his apprentice Jiang Shaoli help take care of it, and now his life and death are uncertain, he is really remorseful to the extreme, he knew that there would be today, and he would not send his daughter there anyway. If the daughter has three strengths and two weaknesses, how should he face himself in the future?
When Long Xuanen saw Murong Zhan coming, all his anger poured out on his head, pointing at Murong Zhan and roaring: "Murong Zhan, you did a good thing!" ”
Murong Zhan knelt down in front of the emperor with a thud, clenched his fists and said, "Your Majesty, the minister is guilty!" Be willing to accept any punishment! ”
Long Xuanen said coldly: "If I kill you, can I guarantee that the imperial tomb is safe?" Jiang Shaoli, the commander of the Imperial Tomb Guard, was recommended by you, didn't you say that he has excellent martial arts and outstanding wisdom, and it must be foolproof for him to lead the team to protect the Imperial Tomb? Now how do you explain it to me? ”
Murong Zhan said: "Your Majesty, the minister is willing to personally lead a team to the imperial tomb to find out the truth, and never let any of the thieves who destroy the imperial tomb slip through the net." ”
Long Xuanen said angrily: "I don't want to hold anyone responsible, I want the imperial tomb to be safe and sound!" If you really had that ability, last night's incident wouldn't have happened! ”
Murong Zhan's pale face showed a look of shame.
A calm voice came from outside the hall and said: "Your Majesty, only the part of the imperial tomb that has been burned on the ground, and the underground palace should not be damaged." The person who spoke was Hong Beimo of the Tianji Bureau, he came with Wang Qian, Hong Beimo's expression was much calmer than the others, and there was no difference even from usual.
Long Xuanen said: "Can you be sure? ”
Hong Beimo said: "The minister is completely sure that the part of the underground palace that has been completed is closed layer by layer, and it is impossible for those migrant workers to open it, and they will only burn the buildings on the ground at most, and the damage caused should not be too great." ”
Long Xuanen's expression eased slightly.
Hong Beimo glanced at Murong Zhan, who was kneeling on the ground, and said: "There are more than 50,000 people in the mob, and there are only 1,000 soldiers and horses in the Imperial Tomb Guard, although they are well-trained and fully armed, but after all, they are outnumbered, and they cannot be the opponents of the mob, and Murong Commander is also dedicated to the affairs of the Imperial Tomb, His Majesty may not know that his own daughter is also performing her duties in the Imperial Tomb Guard, and now the most worried person should be Murong Commander." ”
Long Xuanen frowned, listening to Hong Beimo say that the loss of the underground palace should not be large, at this time his heart was a little calmer, and he said in a low voice: "You get up." ”
Only then did Murong Zhan stand up.
Wen Chenghuan said: "Your Majesty, the rebellion of more than 50,000 mobs is not trivial, and Your Majesty must pay enough attention to it." ”
Long Xuanen sneered: "I have already sent 20,000 Yulin guards to go, and 10,000 garrisons from Chong'an County have also gone to pursue, do I believe that those 50,000 mobs can stop 30,000 well-trained Dakang warriors?" ”
Zhou Ruiyuan said: "Your Majesty, they are heading all the way to the northwest, it is very likely that they want to meet up with the thief Guo Guangbi there, the more urgent the pursuit, the faster their march will be, and they should send someone to intercept them in the middle and cut off their route to Xingzhou." Guo Guangbi in Xingzhou has gathered more than 30,000 thieves since the rebellion for a year, and the imperial court has been encircled and suppressed several times but can not exterminate it, but it has become more and more rampant. ”
Murong Zhan saluted and said: "Your Majesty, the minister is willing to personally lead the army to stop the killing, and it will definitely shatter the delusion of these chaotic people going to Xingzhou." ”
Long Xuanen said indifferently: "Although your martial arts are strong, but this is to lead the troops to fight, and it is not your strong point in arranging the troops, I have sent Su Yuchi to command, I believe he has the ability to calm down the civil unrest this time." He paused, his face full of gloomy murderous aura: "Spread my will, don't be merciful to deal with those rebellious people, don't kill them!" ”
