Chapter 272 Luoyang Fengyun 4

[Five-thousand-word chapters, not separated, two chapters uploaded together]

Seeing Mo Ran coming in a hurry, Bian Yujing asked, "But someone has left the palace?" At this very moment, Bian Yujing will not let go of any suspicious person.

Mo Ran nodded and said, "I told the princess that someone did come out of the palace just now. The maidservant came to report.

Bian Yujing said, "Someone really came out of the royal palace just now? It's a very good time. Who went out? Mo Ran said, "Princess, this person is--is--"

"Who is it?" Bian Yujing raised his eyebrows and asked harshly.

Mo Ran said, "It's the son's wet nurse, Xiao Xiao."

Bian Yujing was slightly surprised and said, "It's her! It turned out to be her! But are there other people going out?" Mo Ran shook his head and said, "At present, there is no second person going out of the gate of the royal palace. Only the wet nurse Xiao Xiao went out before. Hearing Mo Ran's words, Bian Yujing didn't believe that it was Xiao Xiao who came out of the royal palace.

That is to say, Xiao Xiao Xiao is likely to be the innerist hidden in the royal palace, but how can Xiao Xiao be the inner one? The background of everyone who enters the royal palace as a wet nurse is clearly inquired. The first one is innocence, which is in line with Xiao Xiao! Moreover, her generations are all from Luoyang, and they can't talk about contacting the Qing army.

The more Bian Yujing thinks about it, the more chaotic his mind is. It's really messy.

Nowadays, the sons of the world are arranged to a secret and safe place by the people of the dragon group. Because it is impossible to determine the loyalty of those wet nurses, they are naturally not allowed to accompany them. After all, it is a very good time now. Once you make a mistake, it will lead to a great disaster. Without the sons and princesses, these wet nurses will not have to take the sons with them for the time being, and they can also have a rest.

"Do you know where Xiao Xiao went out of the royal palace?" Bian Yujing asked him that such a talented person now can't figure out what Xiao Xiao is going to do. Mo Ran said, "Princess, there is no news at this time. But the members of the dragon group have been staring at it.

Bian Yujing nodded and said, "Go and report to Lord Meng Yumeng and let him be ready."

"Yes!" Mo Ran replied.

For a moment, Meng Yu, who was at the Dragon Group Base, got the news from the royal palace. Meng Yu can be said to be anxious at this time. Any little thing can annoy him. At this time, it has reached an extraordinary time. Meng Yu believes that today is the deadline for the rebels to start the action.

"I'm afraid there will be a bloody storm tonight. However, many soldiers will be killed unjustly! It's a pity, but for the sake of the overall situation, I can only be ashamed of them.

Meng Yu sighed heavily. Because he did not inform the soldiers and horses defending the tower so secretly, and those who wanted and others, they were likely to be killed by the rebel army when they did not react. At that time, there will be a lot of casualties, but in order not to scare the snakes and not to be known by the enemy, he can only sacrifice them. Meng Yu dares not reveal such an important thing.

"When this matter is over, they will bury their bones in the Soul of War Mausoleum and enjoy the worship of future generation. It is also a glorious thing to become a heavenly soldier and general. For the sake of the prince and the princesses, it will be worth your death.

Meng Yu looked at the letter brought from the royal palace and was surprised: "It was Xiao Xiao who was the first to come out of the royal palace, and it was her!" Meng Yu's reaction was like that of Bian Yujing, and he couldn't believe it too much. Then Meng Yu said a little angrily, "It's really hidden enough!" There is no trace of whether it is ordinary performance or personality. However, for a moment, Meng Yu thought about it again and muttered again, "No, Xiao Xiao has no motive for committing the crime and no time to commit the crime!" What's wrong with her? If it's really her, then this person is really terrible!"

"Come on!" Meng Yu then shouted outside.

Then a masked man came in from the outside, and the masked man bowed to Meng Yu and said, "I don't know what the commander has ordered?"

Meng Yu said, "But there are still people who go out of the royal palace? What are the key monitors doing now? The conductor needs to know their whereabouts and dynamics today. The masked man said, "Return to the commander, no one has left the royal palace yet. As for what those key monitors are doing, I don't know at this time. Please let me go down and investigate.

After listening, Meng Yu waved his hand a little impatiently and said, "Go down and check. Tell me later." After saying that, the masked man hurried down.

Meng Yu sat on the chair again, looked at all the names written in front of him, and was in a daze. I don't know what I'm thinking.

"Xiao Xiao--Xiao Xiao--"

After a while, there was a rapid sound of footsteps outside again, which immediately woke up Meng Yu in his meditation. Hearing that sound, Meng Yu knew who was coming. It was the masked man who he had just ordered to check the movements of the key suspects. He also began to be excited, praying that the masked man would bring him valuable news.

Before entering the room, he listened to the outside shouting, "It's not good, my lord!"

The masked man hurried into the room, holding some paper in his hand, showing anxious eyes, and his body was full of sweat. The weather in August is very hot, and the man is still wearing black clothes. He naturally feels the unusual heat when he is masked.

Meng Yu quickly asked, "What's so panicked?" Meng Yu didn't believe that there was anything else that could make the people in the dragon group so anxious. Even if the rebels are starting their troops now, it is estimated that they will not be able to find the location of the base of the Dragon Group for a while.

The masked man took a deep breath, handed over the paper in his hand to Meng Yu, and said, "Let's take a look. Everyone's whereabouts are here, but Xiao Lan, the housekeeper of the royal palace, is missing. Moreover, there is no record of her entry and exit at the gate of the royal palace. It's very strange."

After listening to it, Meng Yu understood what was ordinary in an instant. He asked, "Did Xiao Lan look for the wet nurse Xiao before she disappeared?" After hearing this, the masked man's face suddenly showed exclamation and said, "The commander really expected things like a god. According to the maid in the royal palace, they had seen Xiao Xiao say a few words to Xiaolan before going out of the royal palace, and then the wet nurse hurriedly left the royal palace. As for where Xiaolan went, no one knows. But--

"But what?" Meng Yu couldn't wait to ask.

Only listen to the masked man said, "But we found a wall hole covered with weeds behind a remote house on the east side of the royal palace. It is estimated that Xiaolan left through this wall hole, so there is no record of Xiaolan's entry and exit at the gate of the royal palace at all."

After listening to this, Meng Yu smiled and said, "That's right. It also explains why the wet nurse Xiao Xiao suddenly hurried out of the royal palace. It turned out to be deceived by Xiao Lan, but no matter what, we now know who the inner host is. Go to the royal palace quickly. The news told the princess and made them more vigilant.

"Yes!" After saying that, the masked man left again.

——————

At the time of August 10th, the sky was gradually dim.

The people in Luoyang City have also returned home one after another. The weather is so hot that many people enjoy the cool in the yard.

At this time, bursts of footsteps kept ringing on the road. They were wearing the military uniforms of the Pingbei Army and holding long guns. The poor people on the road gave way one after another. Within the control of the Pingbei Army, once the army is dispatched, the people on both sides must make way.

In Zheng Wangfu, the lanterns began to light up, and it was bright.

At present, there are two battalions in Luoyang City, one guarding the tower and the other guarding the royal palace. The rest of the troops of the Guards Brigade are stationed in a regiment at the Tiger Pass. Tongguan is stationed with a battalion of troops. Another regiment followed Wang Stone to Shanxi.

Although the royal palace has a battalion to defend, not a battalion is defended by six or seven hundred people in the royal palace. It's just a part of it. After all, soldiers also need to sleep and rest. Every two hours, the shift is changed (two hours is four hours), and one battalion is three brigades, 24 hours a day. That is to say, each brigade is on duty for four hours, that is, eight hours a day.

In addition to the troops on duty at the royal palace, other troops rest or train in a school yard a few streets later. That is to say, under normal circumstances, the standing strength of the royal palace is about 200 people.

As for the deployment of troops in the city, it is almost the same, but after an expansion of Luoyang City, the gates have increased a lot, so these soldiers who defend the towers have to work relatively hard.

Although Luoyang City is turbulent in the dark at this time, it is still peaceful on the surface. Except for some rebels, such as Bian Yujing of the Royal Palace and the Dragon Group, others did not know that there would be a big conspiracy tonight.

The government office of all prefectures went home from work. It was extremely hot in Luoyang in August. Many people went to bed before dark. Because of the heat, they couldn't sleep. They waited for the late night. It was a little colder, and then slept well. In the small yard of their house, they shook their small fans, looked at the crescent moon in the sky, and fished for their family.

"It's a good day now. I'm full of food and good clothes. At that time, when the prince hadn't come, the life was so bitter! Not only is there pole grabbing everywhere. Robbery, I still don't have enough to eat, and the ruffians are rampant. If I have good things, I can't hold them and be robbed by others. I'm so cold that I have no clothes to wear in winter. If it hadn't been for the old and young in our family and the child hadn't grown up, I would have gone to join the army to serve the prince. At that time, I would have been able to enter the Soul of War Mausoleum. In the future, I will enjoy the incense of future generations, and my soul will fly into the sky.

"Don't say that to your father. I don't know how many times he has said it. Even without these two children, you are not allowed to join the army. That's a deadly job. Even if you die, what if you enter the Soul of War Mausoleum? There is still our mother to take care of at home. Do you just watch me and our mother and no one care that no one wants to die alone?"

After listening to the middle-aged woman's words, the middle-aged man touched his head awkwardly, smiled, and then stopped talking.

In a simple small yard, there are five people sitting, including a sixty- or seventy-year-old woman, a middle-aged man, a middle-aged woman, a seven- or eight-year-old boy, and a five-year-old girl.

The middle-aged man sat on the small bench, shook the fan, looked at the moonlight, and said beautifully. Next to it was a little boy. On the other side sat a middle-aged woman. The middle-aged woman was still holding a little girl in her arms. The little girl held a fan and kept fanning to the woman.

Opposite the man was the old woman, who kept fanning with a fan. Despite this, there was still sweat on her forehead, and her white hair was particularly conspicuous in the night light. I only heard her say, "Now this good day is not easy to come by. Not to mention food when my mother was a child, at that time, you and your father worked as a tenant for the landlord. You didn't have enough to eat and wear, and you trembled in winter. Then came natural and man-made disasters. Either there is a big drought or the pole is coming. In the end, your father died in the hands of the pole. Now it's all right. The prince has calmed down this Luoyang, living and working in peace and contentment, and also spending money on silver coins. Don't worry about food and clothing! The prince is really a living Bodhisattva. Tomorrow, I will go to Baima Temple to give incense and pray for the prince.

"That's it. The prince is fighting outside now to resist the tahs. It must be hard. It is right to pray for the prince. The middle-aged woman immediately spoke to her voice.

After the woman said that, the little boy raised his head and asked, "Mom, what is a tanni!"

"Ha ha" The middle-aged man smiled and said, "Taranzi! The tazis are the devil who kills people without blinking. They specialize in eating children. Once you hear the child crying, you will run over and eat!" The more the middle-aged man said it, the more scary it became. Suddenly, he was so scared that the little boy couldn't speak. Seeing that his goal had been achieved, he said, "Remember, you can't cry in the future. If you attract the sata, you will eat people!"

After listening, the little boy nodded constantly, indicating that he would not cry.

"The prince will protect us, isn't it brother? Don't be afraid of the tatter - the tatter." At this time, a childish voice sounded, and it was the girl in the arms of a middle-aged woman.

“——”

The ordinary servants in the royal palace didn't know that something had happened at all. Although they didn't see the sons of the world, it felt a little strange, but the princess said that she asked the sons to go to the White Horse Temple to pray for the prince in person. It would take two or three days to come back, so the maids did not doubt anything. Although it is a little small, it can show sincerity.

At this time, a woman hurriedly came out of the inner courtyard of the royal palace. The woman didn't know that as soon as she walked out of the inner courtyard, in a rockery next to her, a soldier saw her with a telescope, so he began to monitor her, and a soldier next to her immediately left to inform her boss.

The woman walked very carefully, observing left and right while walking to prevent anyone from following her.

After a while, she came to a room not far from the gate of the royal palace, where the garrison of the royal palace was located, where the captain of the garrison was during this period. She walked in, took a token, and said to the captain inside, "Captain Li."

Captain Li of the brigade immediately smiled, walked over and said with a smile, "Where did the wind blow the housekeeper Xiaolan over? What's the matter?"

It turned out that the person who sneaked out of the palace was Xiaolan, the housekeeper of the palace. Xiaolan looked at Captain Li with a smile and said, "Captain Li, there is something wrong with the gate of dozens of cars transported by the princess from the outside. Let you quickly lead the soldiers to help pull them back. Someone else has informed the other captains and let him We will come to replace your defense temporarily, and the captain who will come to change shifts will come soon. You don't need to worry about the defense of the royal palace.

"This is the matter! No problem, but we have to wait until the replacement comes! I can't leave the palace with soldiers and horses, so that there is no one to guard the palace!" Captain Li looked at Xiaolan's beautiful appearance and felt itchy in his heart. After hearing this, Xiao Lan felt bitter in her heart. She didn't have much time, so she quickly gave Captain Li a wink and said, "Captain Li, this is the princess's order. The princess will look at the things in the car later. You can help the slave." With the princess's token in Xiaolan's hand, Captain Li did not suspect that Xiaolan was lying.

The little Lan saw that although Captain Li's eyes were fascinated, he did not agree, so she walked to Captain Li fiercely, grabbed one of Captain Li's arms, kept rubbing on his chest, and immediately let Captain Li want. Burning body, essence. Worms on the brain. Finally, he agreed to Xiaolan's request and sent an order to his subordinates. After a while, a brigade of 200 people gathered. The captain left a team of ten guards at the gate of the palace, and hurriedly left.

Xiaolan watched Captain Li leave and breathed a sigh of relief.

A pair of eyes behind the rockery looked at Xiaolan coldly and scolded the dog thief secretly.

"Go and tell the commander that the missing [Little Red Fish] has appeared, and [Little Red Fish] has transferred the guard." Then a soldier next to him listened and hurried away.

For a moment, Li Gu got the news. At this time, Meng Yu was also around. Li Gu said, "[Little Red Fish] has returned to the royal palace. As previously speculated, [Little Red Fish] did come in and out of that wall hole." Because the person who was monitored was the man of Ying Yangwei, the news immediately reached Li Gu's hands, not Meng Yu's.

Meng Yu asked, "Have you transferred the guards?" Li Gu said, "The guards have been transferred away, and I don't know why those people are so stupid to listen to Xiaolan's words." Meng Yu nodded and said, "Although I don't know what Xiaolan said to them, I have made a big mistake by leaving the palace regardless of the defense of the palace. When this matter is over, I will definitely take him down for review."

"This Xiaolan's status in the royal palace is not low, and she lacks nothing. Why did she choose to work for the Qing court?" Meng Yu kept asking himself in his mind. Force yourself to think about it.

Li Gu said, "Lord Meng, how's [fish pond]?" Meng Yu came to his senses and said, "I have arranged for the dragon team to monitor the fish pond at all times and go to catch it when necessary. The remaining 200 people of your eagle Yangwei are also nearby. In a moment, the [big fish] in the [fish pond] will definitely come out to command troops to capture the royal palace. At that time, the dragon group soldiers and horses will immediately enter the [fish pond] and catch all the miscellaneous shrimp soldiers and crabs in it.
