Just in time for rain [恰逢雨连天] - Chapter 149

[149. Chapter One Forty Eight]

After saying this, Shen Xi resolutely turned his head and went in the direction of the road.

In the chaotic army, everyone can’t take care of themselves. Even if Jinwuwei is protecting them, how can they stop a person who is willing to die.

Su Jin stared at Shen Xi’s back in a daze, then came back to his senses and commanded in a deep voice, “Yao Jiang, divide someone to protect Qingyue.”

“But Master Su is here—”

“Go.” Ah Shan said, “You two. Lead the soldiers of the Dudu’s Mansion away, and the guards and I will be able to handle it.” The

sky was cloudy, and there was some light at the end of the stratum clouds. the clapper sound.

After Shen Xi left, the soldiers of the Governor’s Mansion really ignored Su Jin and the others, and went in the direction they came from.

Just as Su Jin followed Liu Chaoming a few steps, he heard not far behind, Shen Yun hissed, “Xiao Xi—”

She sank in her heart and looked back.

The chaotic soldiers and blood blocked her eyes, but the more she couldn’t see it, the more anxious she became.

For a moment, Su Jin seemed to be out of control. He wanted to look away, protect her, or kill the person who wanted to kill her. He wanted to go up against the soldiers and go find Shen Xi. Just look at him and just know he’s still alive.

But reason told her that she should move forward.

The battle for imperial power is endless. They have come all the way, and the bones behind them are dripping with blood. She can’t let herself fall here. She has to wait for her highness, the highness of all of them to return.

“Su Shiyu.” Liu Chaoming called her, “what’s the matter with you?”

Su Jin showed a self-deprecating smile: “In those days when I joined the official position, I only wanted to build my heart and life for the world and the people, but I never thought that I would reach this stage. Two years ago, the rest of my life after the catastrophe in Mafu, the adults once told me that , at least one year, as many as three years, the entire court must be like a bloodthirsty vortex. I was lucky at that time, thinking that I could do nothing, go my own way, and stick to my heart, but now I think about it, it was the original I think it’s too simple.”

Liu Chaoming looked at her and said, “Do you regret it?”

“No,” Su Jin shook his head slightly, “I don’t regret it.” The

indifferent morning mist covered her shoulders.

When Su Jin said these words, she didn’t even realize that she was trembling slightly.

There were soldiers and slaughter beside him, Liu Chaoming was silent for a while, and suddenly reached out and clasped her hand in his palm: “Follow me.” Then he stopped looking at her, turned his head, and added, “Be careful if you are distracted again. It’s gone.”

The gleam of light in the cloud was even stronger than before, the rosy color was about to emerge, and there was a hint of gold.

Su Jin followed Liu Chaoming, and when he saw that he was about to reach the vast area where the Jinwu Guards were arrayed earlier, the sound of galloping horses suddenly came from a distance.

There are thousands of war horses walking together, the sound is moving, gradually deafening.

Everyone who was caught in the chaos looked back at the same time, and against the blue sky, they saw a banner with a blue border and a white background on top of a dark black armor.

That is the flag of the Nanchang Army.

This battle flag led the military guards like a sharp blade, and the next moment, it tore a breach in the Yingyang guards that blocked the long street.

Su Jin looked up, trying to find the one who was as bright as the rising sun among those wearing silver armor and blue shirts.

At this moment, Liu Chaoming, who was beside him, suddenly said, “Be careful!”

It turned out that at the moment when all of them were distracted, a Yulin guard took the opportunity to rush to Su Jin.

Tan Zhaolin and Ashan had long been pushed aside, and at this moment, only Liu Chaoming, who had been holding her hand firmly, was beside Su Jin.

Yu Linwei stopped his horse and raised his spear to stab Su Jin.

Su Jin didn’t even have time to react, Liu Chaoming took her behind him and stood in front of her alone.

The sun broke and the clouds came out, and the tip of the spear reflected the light of the rising sun, pointing straight at Liu Chaoming’s chest.

Su Jin’s pupils suddenly dilated, and he called out in a hoarse voice, “Liu Yun—” trying to push him away.

At this moment, the sound of breaking the air suddenly came from behind the ears. Just as the spear was about to pierce into Liu Chaoming’s chest, another spear flew from behind them, with a strong force, piercing through the man. Yu Linwei’s chest.

Yu Linwei was stagnant, and the whole person fell down limply.

Su Jin looked back.

It was Zhu Nanxian who threw out the spear and galloped on the horse.

Arriving in front of the two, Zhu Nanxian tightened the reins, the horse neighed, and almost stood up with its front hooves raised, but he drew a knife from his waist, and without hesitation he picked up the other who was about to raise his knife and slash at Liu. Chao Ming’s Yu Linwei’s arm, and then cut across the man’s neck with a knife.

The splattered blood turned golden by the splendid morning glow.

Zhu Nanxian looked at Su Jin in the mottled golden glow.

Those star-like eyes were as bright as ever, and the corners of his lips curved, revealing a heroic smile, but due to the critical situation, he was unable to speak to her more, looked at Liu Chaoming, and asked: “Master Liu, are you all right?” Liu

Chaoming said, “Thirteenth Highness came down in time.”

Zhu Nanxian nodded, then turned around and shouted, “Nanchang Army Jin Wuwei obeys orders!”

“Yes!”

” General Yulinwei and Yingyangwei who were in chaos took them down, if anyone resists, kill them!”

“Yes!”

Jin Wuwei’s morale was shaken by Zhu Nanxian’s arrival. Although the Nanchang Army had only 3,000 troops, it was Zhu Nanxian’s elite, and everyone was equipped with elite cavalry bought from the northwest.

In a short while, Jinwuwei, who was still in retreat, was already overwhelming. With the Nanchang Army’s iron cavalry clearing the way, they attacked the Yulin guards Yingyangwei on both sides.

Zhu Nanxian looked in the direction of the Governor’s Mansion again and shouted, “Xu Mo! Open your dog’s eyes to see clearly, the three thousand warhorses of the Governor’s Mansion are here with this king, if you dare to let the mansion soldiers kill them indiscriminately. Innocent, don’t blame this king for cutting off your head together!”

Xu Mo’s eyes darkened after hearing this.

Although he did not withdraw the military order, all the soldiers of the government dared to step forward after hearing Zhu Nanxian’s words.

There was no room for hesitation on the battlefield, but at this moment of stagnation, hundreds of soldiers from the Dudu’s Mansion were restrained by the Nanchang Army who rushed up.

Zhu Nanxian glanced at Su Jin and Liu Chaoming again, and said to the guards beside him, “Qin Sang, take someone to protect the two adults.”

“Yes!” After

saying this, he lightly raised the reins. Straightening the horse, he slowly walked a few steps towards the way he came.

Zhu Nanxian stood tall on the horse, and across the fighting and waving soldiers, he and Zhu Weiwei Zhu Qiyue, who was also standing on the horse not far away, looked at each other from a distance.

The morning glow is splendid, and the sky that has been washed by the continuous rain is sprinkled with bright morning light.

Zhu Qiyue looked at Zhu Nanxian by the light, only to realize that the thirteenth brother who had grown up with him and had always treated him very well had a very indifferent expression at this moment.

Come to think of it, how could he forgive himself?

Zhu Qiyue said in his heart that the East Palace is the home of Thirteen. Zhu Minda and Shen Jing treat Thirteen like a father and mother. The matter of Zhaojue Temple is equivalent to the wound of destruction. .

There are sins in this world that are unforgivable.

Once something is done, there is no turning back.

It was because he was too naive. After the incident at Zhaojue Temple, he had been trying to reconnect with Zhu Nanxian.

And at this moment, Zhu Nanxian has told him with his eyes, you and I are at odds with each other from now on, if you want to fight, you will fight, and you will never die!

In a matter of seconds, there was the sound of horses’ hoofs from the north slope. Accompanied by the sound of marching that was getting heavier and closer, it was actually the Hu Benwei of the North Camp, Feng Xiangwei and the commander of the government’s military guards, with 3,000 soldiers. arrive.

The three commanders rushed to Zhu Nanxian, turned over and dismounted at the same time, and bowed their hands to him: “I am under the order of His Highness the Seventeenth, and I heard that His Highness the Thirteenth has a secret decree to announce, and he has come out to help the tenth. Third Highness, calm the chaos.”

Zhu Nanxian nodded, no longer looking at Zhu Zweiwei and Zhu Qiyue, and said loudly: “Yu Lin Wei Ying Yang Wei listen, surrender will not kill!”

Under the offensive of the Nanchang Army and Jin Wu Wei, Yu Lin Wei and Ying Yangwei had become in decline, and now they saw three other pro-military guards coming, knowing that the situation was over, and after Zhu Qiyue raised his hand and waved silently, he immediately dropped the sword.

As soon as the battle was over, Su Jin was in a hurry and went back and forth. After walking a few steps, he saw Zuo Qian and Shen Yun supporting Shen Xi from left to right, and Zhu Min’er, who had just plunged into the chaotic army, went to the army. She comes.

Shen Xi’s body was covered in paint, blood stains could be seen on his clothes, and there were wounds on his waist, abdomen and left arm. Fortunately, the wounds were very shallow and did not hurt the vital points. Zhu Miner’s accompanying doctor had done a simple bandage for him.

Shen Xi seemed to realize something, raised his head, and his eyes met Su Jin.

Under the bright morning light, I finally waited until dawn.

When he saw her, the corners of his lips moved, and after a while, a faint smile appeared.

It’s not the hippie smile when you put flowers on the shelf, but a smile that is relieved and the sky is blue.

Seeing that Shen Xian was well, Su Jin suddenly felt exhausted and speechless, his eyes and nose were sore, but he had enough energy, and at the same time his eyes met, he smiled back at him.

After the arrival of the three main bodyguards of the Beida Camp, the chaos on the long street of the Governor’s Mansion was quickly rectified.

A group of soldiers, including Yulin Guard Ying Yang Guard and Jin Wu Guard, all lined up in sequence in the vast area outside the long street.

Zhu Nanxian pulled back his horse and took Zhu Miner, along with Zhu Weiwei and Zhu Qiyue, to the front of this magnificent army.

Not long after, a soldier came to report: “His Royal Highness, the ministers and workers in the DPRK have heard that there is a major incident here, and have been waiting outside the Governor’s Mansion at Mao Shi. I heard that His Highness has a decree to announce, and now I want to invite Are they coming?”

Zhu Nanxian gave an “en” and asked, “Has Shu Huan, the servant of Zhongshushe, arrived?”

“Your Highness, Master Shu has arrived and is currently waiting outside the Governor’s Mansion.”

“I invited him Come to test the decree and declare the decree.”

The suburbs of Beicheng are desolate and vast, and there is a long mountain ridge in the distance, and behind the ridge, there is a faint appearance of the Dasui army flag stretching into the dragon’s line, which is the Beida Camp.

All the ministers stand in order in the vast area, the civil servants are doing the work, the military generals are on the right, and they are divided into several rows according to the grade of the ya division, and the middle column is vacated for the commander of the upper twelve guards.

At the end of summer, the sun is shining.

Shu Huan slowly unfolded the secret decree of Minghuang in his hand, and read out: “Fengtian, the emperor’s decree said, today my son Zhu Hao’s name is Mingda, and unfortunately he has passed away. My heart is very sad. I am seriously ill, and I am afraid that I will not be able to handle the emperor’s case for a long time. Today, I have ordered all my sons and ministers to work, and specially grant my son, the thirteenth son, Zhu Ai, Nanxian, to be the successor of the East Palace Crown Prince, to exercise the power of all monarchs, to take charge of the twelve pro-military guards, and to announce the decree. On the day, when my thirteen sons succeeded to be the crown

prince—” The long wind from hunting and hunting came, blowing through everyone’s robes and crowns, once the decree was announced, everyone was silent and silent.

Shu Huan slowly put away the imperial decree, and said again: “This decree has been verified by Shu, and it is stamped with His Majesty’s private seal. It is His Majesty’s authentic work, but this decree concerns the great power of the country, and it should be made known to the world. That is, Lord Liu, the Censor of the Left Capital, Lord Zeng, Minister of Civil Affairs, Lord Gong, Minister of War, Lord Luo, Minister of Rites, Lord Liu, Minister of Work, Lord Su, Minister of Punishment, Lord Du, Minister of Household, and Lord Commander of the Twelve Guards. The five commanders of the military commander-in-chief’s office, the seventh, the twelfth, and the seventeenth came to see it.”

The people who were called by their names were all important officials of the humerus of the imperial court. They were less inclined, and only a few people came out. At the same time, they closed their sleeves and gave Zhu Nanxian a bow. Liu Chaoming took the lead from Shu Huan and took the imperial decree. It was passed on from Zeng Youliang next to him.

After a few moments, the secret edict was passed in the hands of everyone, and the last person, Zhu Min’er, handed it back to Shu Huan.

Shu Huan said: “If you all have no objection, then Shu will return this secret order to His Highness the Thirteenth.

” Come? Why didn’t you read the secret letter earlier?”

Zhu Nanxian glanced at Zeng Youliang and said lightly, “Why, Zeng Shangshu suspects that this secret letter is fake?

” It has been half a year, and His Highness the Thirteenth has been the successor of the direct line. It is logical that he should inherit the position of the East Palace. In this case, when His Highness the Thirteenth Highness was recovering in the East Palace at the beginning of the year, why did he keep the secret decree secret? Is there a secret decree out of thin air?”

If Zhu Nanxian took out the secret decree during the “recovery” period in the East Palace, wouldn’t it have been taken away by Zhu Weiwei long ago.

The answer to Zeng Youliang’s question was well known to all the ministers and workers, and it was fortunate that he was able to ask it out in such a grand manner. I’m afraid he was looking at the impending doom, and the one who broke the jar had to fight for some leeway for His Royal Highness.

“What Zeng Shangshu said is very true.” At this time, Wu Yuzheng said, “This secret decree was ordered by Your Majesty, and it also concerns the country, so it must not be so hastily decided, otherwise it will be difficult to convince the public, and it is better to wait after returning to the palace. —”

“You don’t agree?” Zhu Nanxian walked over to Wu Yuzheng with his hands behind and interrupted softly.

Wu Yuzheng saluted: “I’m not dissatisfied, but…” Before

he finished speaking, he raised his eyes to meet Zhu Nanxian’s gaze.

He had seen such eyes before.

Half a year ago, in Zhaojue Temple, after Zhu Nanxian learned that Zhu Minda was dead and Zhu Lin disappeared, he saw him like this once. At that time, His Highness the Thirteenth only wanted to kill him.

Wu Yuzheng’s heart suddenly felt cold, and he intuitively felt that the sunlight pouring down from his head had become a dense cold glow.

Drawing and wielding the sword only took a split second.

At the same time Wu Yuzheng reacted, he also knew the fact that he had no more room to resist.

The knife shone like a shadow.

The next moment, Wu Yuzheng’s head rolled to the ground.

Blood spurted out from the empty neck, which was avoided by Zhu Nanxian, but splashed on Zeng Youliang, who was beside him.

Zeng Youliang’s legs softened, and he fell to his knees in fright, his lips trembling constantly, as if he couldn’t stand up again.

“Thirteen, what do you mean?” Zhu Zhai said angrily, “Wu Yuzheng belongs to Yu Linwei after all—”

“Isn’t he supposed to die?” Zhu Nanxian interrupted coldly.

He did not say the rest of the words, but all the ministers understood in their hearts.

Regardless of whether Zhu Minda was killed by Wu Yuzheng himself, but at Zhaojue Temple, the prince and his concubine died and the little prince disappeared, but the Yulinwei commander who was supposed to protect them was still alive. A felony deserves death.

“Is there anyone else who doesn’t agree?” Zhu Nanxian turned around with his hands behind his back and looked at all the civil servants and generals.

The horizon is a very bright morning sun, and the long ridges draw a desolate posture in the sky.

Zhu Nanxian was wearing a moon-colored python robe, and his calm and determined eyes were like a blue dragon that finally grew into an overturned, turbid ocean tide.

Su Jin looked at him, and felt extremely quiet in her heart. After a while, she closed her sleeves, bent over, and bowed down: “Chen, Su Jin, Minister of Punishment, see His Royal Highness.

” Straight into the hearts of the people.

After decades of vicissitudes, the world has changed hands, and it is time for a new world.

For a time, all the ministers knelt down and worshipped, and the sound of worship resounded in the world: “Chen – see His Royal Highness the Prince -”
