81 Chapter 80
"What did you say?" Wei Yunqing had just woken up from a deep sleep, almost thinking he was dreaming.
There has been good news in front, Wei Yunqing thought that this city could be easily defended, it was half relieved, where did he think that it would only take a day's work, and the situation would turn sharply, which was unguardable!
"Back to Niangniang, the You'an Gate of Dongcheng has been broken! Pack up some valuable things, it's too late to leave! Huang Bajin said anxiously.
"Only the You'an Gate was broken? What about the other gates? Although Wei Yunqing was nervous in his heart, his expression tried his best to appear calm. Be calm, be calm!
Huang Bajin was stunned, seeing that Wei Yunqing was not flustered at all, the panic in his heart seemed to be appeased, and he took a deep breath and said, "The news that the master got is that only You'anmen has been broken. ”
"Do you know more specifically?" Wei Yunqing said, "For example, how many Great Song troops are attacking the city gate, and where are they attacking?" Can soldiers from the other gates be sent over? ”
As Wei Yunqing's questions came out one by one, Huang Bajin's heart gradually became less flustered.
He tried hard to recall the news he had heard before, and said quickly: "Hui Niangniang, according to the chamberlain who returned, before he came, the Great Song Army attacked the city by thousands, and there were many people outside, and I don't know how many, and the soldiers defending the city in the city are fighting with each other. On the way back, he also saw that the guards had all been dispatched, vowing to stop the Great Song Army outside the imperial city! ”
Hearing this, Wei Yunqing's heart became a little calmer. Although the outer city is broken, the inner city is still organized, at least it can give the people in the imperial city time to escape, and even more, if it is properly blocked, it may be possible to support the defenders of the other city gates to come and unite to drive people out again.
The city gate is still small compared to the entire Great Song Army, even if the Great Song Dynasty has an army of 200,000, there are only a few who can really enter the city and fight with the soldiers in the city after all, as long as it is properly arranged, the broken city gate may be blocked back again, and the Great Song Army that enters the city will become a turtle in the urn, and it will take some time to clean it up. And she believes that Mr. He can do this.
At this moment, Wei Yunqing was not very flustered, and when he thought of a question, he said: "Then how was You'anmen broken?" ”
Huang Bajin said with an indignant look on his face: "It seems that someone opened the city gate from the inside." ”
Wei Yunqing's heart was shocked, it's a mole again?!
"Let's go, let's go to the emperor's side." Wei Yunqing said to Huang Bajin, and then turned back to Lantian and Lucui, "You guys pack some urgent things and stand by in Yanxi Palace." ”
"Yes, sis!" Lantian and the other looked tense, but they were also infected by Wei Yunqing's composure, and nodded firmly.
Wei Yunqing took Yun Xin and Mingzhu to the Qianqing Palace with Huang Bajin, where it was already a mess, the palace people were running around, and things were scattered all over the place.
She shouted angrily: "What are you running? It's just that the outer city gate has been broken, the emperor's twenty-six guards are blocking the inner city, and General He has already transferred people to beat the Great Song Army out, look at your unproductive appearance! ”
The palace people stood suddenly, looking at Wei Yunqing in a daze, with panic on all faces.
Wei Yun snorted coldly: "Even if you want to leave, is there such a mess as you?" Can you escape on your own? Stay in the Qianqing Palace for me, if you really want to retreat, you will have your own guards to escort everyone away! ”
Outside the Qianqing Palace, there was a group of guards composed of Jinyi Wei Han generals, different from the chaotic appearance of the palace people, they stood straight, although there was hesitation on their faces, but they were not in a mess.
It was the first time for the palace people to encounter such a dangerous and chaotic situation, and they had already lost their masters, seeing Wei Yunqing's calm expression at this moment, they didn't seem to be frightened by the Great Song Army outside, and the panic in their hearts gradually dissipated after admiration. They knew that Wei Yunqing was right, in the chaos of the army, it was too difficult for them to live, so it was better to follow the emperor.
Wei Yunqing saw that the palace people had calmed down, so he walked into the Qianqing Palace.
There were no palace guards in the palace, so she walked in and saw a bulging quilt on the bed in the bedroom after a while. She turned her head and let Yun Xin and Huang Bajin go out, then she walked over and patted the bulging quilt, and said in a low voice: "Ah Yi? ”
The body under the quilt stiffened, and then the brocade was lifted, revealing Yang Yi's panicked face.
"Sister Yunqing! The Great Song Army has come in! I...... I'm the emperor...... Didn't have to do it, did you? He looked sad, as fragile as when Wei Yunqing first saw him.
Wei Yunqing felt pity in his heart and sighed: "The matter hasn't come to that yet, don't be afraid." ”
She lifted the quilt, pulled Yang Yi out of bed, and said softly: "You are the emperor, you have to show the backbone of the emperor." If you are panicking, how can the people below you be reassured? Now it's just a broken gate in the outer city, and things haven't reached the point of no return, so don't lose your faith first. Stand up and give your courtiers courage like an emperor, and tell them that there is no need to panic if you are there. ”
Yang Yi obediently got out of bed, but grabbed Wei Yunqing's hand tightly, looking confused: "I...... I'm scared, I can't do ......"
"You can do it." Wei Yunqing interrupted him, "Come, I'll go out with you, you are the Emperor of Great Liang, show me the majesty of being an emperor!" ”
Yang Yi shook his head and turned his head to look at Wei Yunqing, his eyes flickering.
Eventually, he overcame the trembling of his body, swallowed his nervous saliva and said, "Hmm! Let's go out! ”
When Wei Yunqing and Yang Yi walked out of the Qianqing Palace together, the people in the outer palace were still looking around in a daze, and when they saw Yang Yi, the emperor, appear, they immediately looked over as if they had found the backbone.
Yang Yi took a deep breath and said loudly: "Don't be afraid! There is also General He outside, and the Great Song thieves can't beat the inner city! You all do your part, don't mess around! ”
When the palace people were at a loss, Yang Yi's rare responsibility magically made them settle down, looked at each other, and really went back to their respective posts.
Yang Yi returned to the Qianqing Palace, and as soon as he left the sight of the palace people, his legs softened, and he held Wei Yunqing tightly, and said with a hasty expression: "Sister Yunqing, can General He really drive the Great Song Army out of the city?" ”
"Absolutely!" Wei Yunqing said firmly, "You have also seen it before, General He has stopped the Great Song Army outside the city several times, and this time he will definitely be able to drive them out!" ”
These words were to comfort Yang Yi, Wei Yunqing remembered the doubts raised by He Zongbing and Zhao Zhen before, and then thought back to what happened tonight, and the doubts in the past were answered. Li Zhuo sneaked up on Beijing several times, but it was just a trick to cover up, and the real killing move was to infiltrate the traitors in the city at some point, and take advantage of the night to open the city gate and magnify the Song army's entry. Therefore, the reason why He Zongbing was able to repel Li Zhuo's surprise attack before was partly because He Zongbing was far-sighted, and a larger part of the reason was probably that Li Zhuo deliberately released water.
After appeasing Yang Yi, Wei Yunqing also stayed in the Qianqing Palace and did not leave. She's going to wait, waiting for good news, or bad news.
After a while, Cao Jun heard the news that Wei Yunqing stayed in the Qianqing Palace from Huang Bajin, and immediately rushed over, and after saluting Yang Yi but not getting any response from the other party, he glanced at Yang Yi, who seemed to be in a trance in a dream, and walked to Wei Yunqing's side and whispered: "Niangniang, I'm afraid I can't hold this Beijing, don't you want to leave?" ”
Seeing that Cao Jun did not flee alone, but came to persuade her, Wei Yunqing smiled on his face. She glanced at Yang Yi, who was in a daze, and didn't know what he was thinking, so she motioned for Cao Jun to go out with her, and came to another room before saying, "Isn't there no news coming from front of this?" I think I can hold it. ”
"If there is really news here, I'm afraid it's too late!" Cao Jun's face was agitated.
"It's too late, it's too late." Wei Yunqing smiled again, that smile was reflected on her slightly pale face, Xiao Se was slightly cold, "It's not necessarily much better to run away than to stay here." ”
"This ......" Cao Jun's expression changed again and again, and he was very conflicted in his heart, he didn't want to die, but he didn't want to leave Wei Yunqing to run for his life alone.
"Father-in-law Cao, you can go first, I don't force you to stay." Wei Yunqing laughed in a low voice, "Thank you for the help you gave me before, I am very grateful to you, this time the situation is indeed dangerous, you still have your family, even if you leave now, no one will blame you." ”
Hearing Wei Yunqing say this, Cao Jun's original hesitation became firm: "Niangniang, what you said is wrong. Although the slave is a eunuch, she is also affectionate and righteous. If you don't go, the slave and maid will naturally not go, even if it's really bad, they can accompany you on the last journey. He paused and said with a smile, "What's more, the slave's children and grandchildren have already left the city, and the slave and maid have nothing to worry about." ”
"You're planning ahead." Wei Yunqing looked at Cao Jun with a complicated expression, and finally smiled.
Cao Jun sneered: "It is not easy for slaves and maids to recognize a few sons and daughters who are agreeable, and they must always protect them, so that they will not feel a loss as a father of mine." After all, if you don't even have such a benefit, wouldn't the humiliation you received before be in vain? ”
"That's right." Wei Yunqing smiled slightly.
At this time, Huang Bajin suddenly ran in in a panic, and Cao Jun frowned and said, "What are you panicking about?" Something to say slowly, the more critical the moment, the more you have to obey the rules, you know? ”
Because he has made up his mind to stay and live and die with Shangjing, Cao Jun's heart is no longer burdened, the left is just a dead word, he can be regarded as living a rich life in the first half of his life, and this last moment is vigorous, and it is not in vain to come to this world! Of course, it would be best if he could leave him a good reputation of integrity in the history books in the future, and he would have survived and died with the emperor and concubine, so the inauthentic things he had done before should be written off, right?
"Yes, master! Small wrong! Huang Bajin hurriedly admitted his mistake, and his tone finally calmed down, "There was news from outside just now, that the Great Song Army has fought with the Inner City Guards!" ”
Cao Jun nodded, glanced at Wei Yunqing, and then asked Huang Bajin again: "Is that a block?" ”
Huang Bajin nodded: "There are not many people in the Great Song Army at this time, and I think I can probably block it." ”
Although Huang Bajin's words are very uncertain, he must have some confidence in this if he dares to say this at this time.
"Wouldn't that be good? I don't know which horn pimple we taught you to throw you to, and what kind of system did you get in a panic? Cao Jun snorted, "Anything else?" If not, go out first, and come in when you have something. ”
"Yes, master." Huang Bajin nodded, turned around and walked out.
Huang Bajin walked to the door, someone rushed in directly, Huang Bajin didn't watch out for being knocked over, and finally stood firm to see who hit him, and immediately bowed down and said: "Concubine Zhuang!" ”
But the man who came ignored him and went straight into the house.
Cao Jun and Wei Yunqing looked at each other, and the person who came turned out to be Concubine Zhuang with a panicked look.
Seeing that the people who came in and saw it first turned out to be Wei Yunqing and Cao Jun, Concubine Zhuang suddenly stopped, the look of panic on her face narrowed, and her eyebrows showed arrogance again.
Wei Yunqing is the woman with the highest grade in Yang Yi's harem, because of her privileges, other women in the harem rarely come to her for trouble, she has her own troubles, and she will not have nothing to do to find trouble with them, so except for Concubine Zhuang, who is more familiar with her, she may not be able to recognize the other concubines when she sees them.
The last time I saw Concubine Zhuang was two days ago when they met by chance on the road, the two walked in the opposite direction, and when they passed by Wei Yunqing's side, Concubine Zhuang snorted coldly and left without squinting, revealing her pride and self-esteem that she didn't see Wei Yunqing in her eyes at all.
"What about the emperor?" Concubine Zhuang said coldly.
Cao Jun smiled: "Concubine Zhuang, the emperor doesn't want to see anyone now, the slave maid should go back if you see you." ”
"Why don't you want to meet people?!" Concubine Zhuang gasped hurriedly, and finally couldn't hold back and shouted, "The Great Song Army has come in!" ”
"This slave knows, and the emperor knows." Cao Jun said with a smile, "Concubine Zhuang, you better go back to Jingren Palace, pack up your things first, and if you want to leave at that time, someone will inform you." ”
According to Concubine Zhuang's thoughts, at this moment, the outer city of Shangjing was broken, and the inner city and the imperial city were broken, so it was just a matter of moments, so hurry up and pack up your things and flee from Shangjing, who knew that Cao Jun didn't seem to be nervous at all, and there was no sense of urgency at all!
"Cao Jun, do you know what the situation is at this moment?" Concubine Zhuang exclaimed incredulously, "The outer city is broken!" When the Great Song Army rushed into the palace, no matter how much they wanted to escape, they couldn't escape! ”
"The slave knows." Cao Jun sighed in his heart, even if he is arrogant and commanding on weekdays, Concubine Zhuang is still too small, which is like our imperial concubine Niangniang, who is not afraid of danger, it is really Mount Tai who collapses in front of him and does not change!
Concubine Zhuang's expression changed again and again, and she bit her lip and said, "You ...... Get out of the way! This palace is going to see the emperor! ”
Cao Jun hurriedly stopped in front of her: "Concubine Zhuang, you can't break in!" What you know, the emperor already knew, it's useless for you to go in, but it's causing chaos to the emperor. Seriously, slave, you better go back to Jingren Palace, maybe you can wake up from a nap and everything will be over. ”
Concubine Zhuang really couldn't figure out how Cao Jun, who was greedy for money and afraid of death, could become so unafraid of death this time, and said angrily with a flash of inspiration in her mind: "You...... Didn't you descend the Great Song? Emperor...... The emperor ......"
Cao Jun's face changed, and he said unhappily: "Ouch, Concubine Zhuang, you can't talk nonsense about this kind of thing!" The slave maid is loyal to the Great Liang and the emperor, how could they descend to the Great Song Dynasty? He sighed, and continued, "But you see that the slave is not panicked at the moment, but she is suspicious?" As the so-called mistakes in the busy, if the slave maid is in a hurry, it is easier to have an accident, don't you say, Concubine Zhuang? ”
Concubine Zhuang looked at Cao Jun suspiciously, and her eyes fell on Wei Yunqing.
Wei Yunqing came in from Concubine Zhuang, and when Cao Jun greeted her, she automatically switched to the theater mode, if she had melon seeds at hand, she might still swallow them.
Cao Jun is right, now they are still worried about the war ahead, how can they have time to entangle with Concubine Zhuang?
"You two, shouldn't you have already been unfavorable to the emperor?" Concubine Zhuang looked shocked and screamed accusatory.
Cao Jun had a straight face, and his sharp voice easily overshadowed Concubine Zhuang's: "Concubine Zhuang, please be careful!" You say that slaves and maids are just slaves, how can the imperial concubine allow you to slander? If it wasn't for the imperial concubine, the emperor still didn't know what would happen, and how could the imperial concubine harm the emperor? Please come back! ”
Cao Jun said and said loudly: "Eight catties, send Concubine Zhuang back!" ”
Huang Bajin was waiting outside, and as soon as he heard his master's call, he immediately brought a few attendants in, and said to Concubine Zhuang respectfully but not refusing: "Concubine Zhuang, please go back!" I send you the little ones! ”
Several chamberlains faintly formed an encirclement, separating Concubine Zhuang and Cao Jun Wei Yunqing, who broke in alone.
Concubine Zhuang's face turned pale, and she glared at Cao Jun angrily: "You dare!" ”
Wei Yunqing coughed lightly and said softly, "Concubine Zhuang, you go back first." The emperor doesn't need you here, you better go back and clean up your softness. ”
Concubine Zhuang said angrily: "If you don't see the emperor today, this palace won't leave!" ”
Wei Yunqing raised his eyebrows slightly, thought for a moment and motioned to Concubine Zhuang: "Follow me." Then he turned and walked away.
Concubine Zhuang looked at Wei Yunqing suspiciously, although she was shocked in her heart, she didn't show it in the end, and followed Wei Yunqing with her head held high.
Wei Yunqing led Concubine Zhuang to the door of the inner room, pointed to the inside and said, "Look, the emperor is sitting there!" ”
Concubine Zhuang looked sideways, and really saw Yang Yi sitting at the table, and she didn't know what she was thinking, and the movement outside didn't disturb him at all.
"Imperial ......" Concubine Zhuang was just about to speak, but was forcefully pulled away by Wei Yunqing.
Looking at Concubine Zhuang, who was glaring at him, Wei Yunqing shrugged and said, "You have already met the emperor, let's go." ”
"You ......," Concubine Zhuang was furious.
Wei Yunqing snorted coldly: "What, what I said just now, but I forgot it in a blink of an eye?" But if you forget, I won't. Let's go. If you are afraid, run with the soft first, I think you can know the situation outside the palace, there are some ways. ”
"You...... You ......" Concubine Zhuang stared at Wei Yunqing, and finally said hatefully, "Is this palace a cowardly and fearful person?" The palace stayed here to accompany the emperor and not go anywhere! ”
Wei Yunqing snorted: "If you want to stay here, I'll let you stay?" You stay and you only add to the chaos. ”
"You also stayed, why can't this palace stay?" Concubine Zhuang really made up her mind not to leave, turned around and found a chair to sit down, with a posture that no one could drive away.
Wei Yunqing couldn't laugh or cry, if the situation wasn't as urgent as it was at the moment, she might still play with Concubine Zhuang, but now, she wasn't in the mood.
However, seeing Concubine Zhuang sitting on the side without saying a word, Wei Yunqing changed his mind and decided to ignore her.
Suddenly there was a faint shout of killing outside, and several people in the room were startled, and their eyes unconsciously looked out. It's just that there's a wall in the way, and you can't see anything.
But Yang Yi suddenly rushed out later, with a panicked face: "What's wrong?" What's the sound outside? ”
Wei Yunqing didn't have time to appease Yang Yi, so he took the lead and ran out.
In the Qianqing Palace, the palace people were once again in chaos because of the faint shouting and killing in the distance, and the guards also clenched their waist knives and looked nervous.
Seeing Yang Yi and Wei Yunqing come out, the leader of the guard army who took the lead exclaimed: "Your Majesty, please leave with Weichen quickly!" ”
The city was broken, and the outer city, the inner city, and the royal palace were all spared.
At this moment, Wei Yunqing's heart was also in a panic.
Was the decision to defend the city wrong in the first place? It was she who caused Yang Yilian and a group of people to fall into such a dangerous situation?
"Sister Yunqing, let's go quickly!" Knowing that he was going to flee for his life, Yang Yi didn't delay any longer, and when he turned his head and saw that Wei Yunqing seemed to be in a trance, he immediately pulled her.
Wei Yunqing looked at him blankly, and then looked back at the Qianqing Gate not far away.
The originally closed Qianqing door was smashed open, and a soldier rushed in with a knife shouting to kill, followed by many soldiers, all dressed as the same Song Dynasty soldiers, she had seen it before, and she couldn't forget it.
These Great Song soldiers had a fierce aura on their faces, and when they saw the magnificence in this palace, they seemed to see the endless rewards and glory in the future, and they rushed in like hungry wolves.
Suddenly, a sharp arrow pierced the sky and struck the back of the soldier at the front like lightning, and he staggered and fell to the ground.
Immediately afterwards, another louder shout sounded, which overshadowed the shouts of the Great Song soldiers in a moment, and in the chaos of the Great Song soldiers, a person rushed in on a horse, and slashed and killed the Great Song soldiers who had fallen into panic.
In the flickering lights, the man's face was illuminated, and his handsome face was full of murder.
Wei Yunqing stared at the man blankly, wanting to look more closely, but he was afraid that as soon as he closed his eyes, he would disappear like a phantom.
