Chapter 532 The End of the Road
The wall is noisy, the side of the rockery, the inside and outside of the corridor, the lights are swaying, and the human shadows are in the pupils, a picture of the end of the world. The family in the courtyard obviously knows the situation outside. At this moment, they are in panic and seem to be helping the elderly and young to pack up and prepare to run away.
Song Nan led the people down the courtyard wall and passed through several messy courtyards. The noise in front of them was in their ears. Everyone quickly looked under the shadow of the hidden house. In the open courtyard open space in front of them, there were 50 or 60 people standing tall and low. The servants carried boxes and cages on their backs, and the maidservitives supported their masters and more than a dozen clothes. The luxurious man shouted and directed everyone to the door of the courtyard.
Song Nan understands that the royal family is about to run away, and no one wants to stay here and wait to die. Princess Ping stretched out her head and searched carefully to find out whether there was any trace of King Qingding, but she was extremely disappointed that King Qingding was not among them.
In the noise, someone shouted loudly: "The prince has an order, and his family is not allowed to leave, and they are not allowed to go to their rooms. The royal palace is safe and sound, and they are not safe to break through for foreign enemies. Please keep calm to avoid causing civil strife."
Song Nan and others hurriedly looked carefully and saw a team of royal guards in front of the royal family, and a tall guard leader was stopping at the intersection and talking loudly.
A young man in a brocade robe came forward and shouted, "Gao Xuecheng, don't talk such nonsense. I just went to the gate and saw that the main door had been destroyed by fire, and the brocade guards outside were about to attack. Should I wait for Jinyiwei to grab and cut his head if I don't leave at this time?"
"Stop, the prince said, if someone causes civil strife, even the royal family can't be spared; there are only hundreds of brocade guards outside, and nearly 2,000 guards of our royal palace can be broken by them? In a few hours, the West Cliff's army will come, and the Jinyi guards and the resistance soldiers in the city will be wiped out. Listen to me and quickly go back to the house and stay there. The guards will ensure your safety.
"Prince? Which prince is that? My prince of Qingwang Mansion is King Qingding. King Anhua came to Qingwang Mansion to dictate and made such a big thing. He wanted to die. The people of Qingwang Mansion don't want to die with him. We are going to go out and open the side door and let us go. The young man in brocade did not show weakness.
Several men in brocade robes and a group of women and children behind them also shouted, "We are leaving, let us go."
Gao Xuecheng, the leader of the guard, looked gloomy and said in a low voice, "Are you going to resist the order?"
The young man in the brocade robe said angrily, "Dog, is it possible that you still want to be rude to the masters? Get out of here."
Gao Xuecheng sneered and stepped forward. Suddenly, a silver light passed through the air. Everyone had not yet seen what had happened. The blood jumped out of the neck of the young man in the brocade robe, his body fell to the ground, and blood gushed out of his neck, and immediately dyed the ground red.
After a brief surprise, the crowd made a deafening scream, and a woman rushed forward and lay on the body and howled loudly.
Gao Xuecheng wiped the blood stains from his waist knife on the bottom of his boots. He put the knife back into the sheath and shouted, "This is the end of nonsense and disobeying the prince's orders. I reiterate again. Please go back to your rooms and don't be impatient. If there are shouting and disobedient, the prince has granted me full power to deal with it. Don't blame me. My subordinates are unbearable.
Song Nan stared at all this and felt that the body of Princess Ping'an, who was snuggling in front of her, trembled slightly. She quickly reached out and held her little hand and pinched it to show comfort.
Seeing that the family members of Qing's mansion can be easily slaughtered like pigs and dogs in the eyes of the king of Anhua, Song Nan was also surprised. Although these people are not the direct masters of the royal family like the princess of Ping'an and the king of Qingding, they are also noble. Maybe there are also nobles such as the imperial princes and princes. After all, King Qing's lineage has continued for generations. Although some people are collateral, they are also nobles with status and status. King Anhua said that he would kill him. It can only be said that he had lost his mind and was almost crazy.
"You slave, do you know who you killed with this knife? He is the honor of the royal palace, the husband of Princess Rongxiu, and the crowned count; Zhu Yu, you are really not as good as pigs and dogs. You actually allow your men to slaughter the royal family and have the ability to show up and kill the old man with your own hands. Old prince, you can see these in the spirit of heaven, but before you go, you are also blind and lead the wolf into the room... How can you be at ease with turning a good Qingwang Mansion into a place where pigs and dogs are rampant..." A white-haired old lady rushed out of the crowd, rushed forward despite the obstruction of the two maidservators around her, stretched out to the sky and cried loudly. Shout.
Gao Xuecheng shouted in a low voice, "Old lady, don't be rude and go back to your room."
"Dog, I'm going to be scolded by you. Get out of here." The old woman cursed angrily.
Gao Xuecheng pulled out half of the waist knife with a gloomy face and said angrily, "I only act under the order of the prince and advise the old lady to restrain yourself, otherwise I don't care about your identity or status."
The old woman stared and scolded angrily, "Dog, are you afraid of the old body? The old man has lived for 70 years, and he has lived long enough. If you have the guts, you will cut a knife at the old man.
Gao Xuecheng sneered and said, "Do you think I dare not?" While talking, the knife came out of the sheath and raised the knife to intimidate.
The old woman laughed repeatedly, but not only did not retreat, but raised the crutch in her hand and waved Gao Xuecheng's head. Gao Xuecheng scolded angrily: "Look for death." He raised the knife and cut off the dragon's crutch, then turned the blade and cut off the old woman's head.
Everyone exclaimed. They didn't expect that this Gao Xuecheng really dared to cut people with a knife. It should be known that this old woman is not an ordinary person. She is the only remaining old generation in the royal palace. Although she is an uncle and wife of the old prince, even if the old prince is alive, he still respects her an old lady, to the generation of Princess Ping'an. The whole mansion is even more respected as an old grandmother. Even Zhu Yu had to say hello when he saw her, but he didn't expect to be buried under the knife of a royal guard today.
said that sooner or later, the blade fell, and a crisp scolding sounded: " Stop it."
Gao Xuecheng's hand is stagnant, and the blade can be stopped at the top of the old woman's head. After all, the majestic and invisible existence of the masters of the royal palace, even Gao Xuecheng dares not be unscrupulous. Although there is Zhu Xiaoqi as his backer, Gao Xuecheng is not a fool. The man who just hacked is only the son-in-law of the royal family, has no blood relationship with the royal family, and is not a member of Zhu at all. Otherwise, Gao Xuecheng will definitely not do it. At this moment, someone stopped, and the subconscious awe still existed, and they subconsciously did it.
The crowd turned their heads and looked back with the coquettish scolding, but in the shadow of the rear house, a slender royal guard rushed out. Gao Xuecheng was a little puzzled. When the guard came to him and shouted, "Who are you? Whose subordinate is it? The first battalion guard was ordered by the prince to protect the royal family. What are you doing?
The guard did not answer, stretched out his hand to take off his hat, and his waterfall-like hair splashed down. The crowd shouted in surprise: "It's the princess, it's the princess of peace."
Princess Ping'an also ignored Gao Xuecheng's question and came forward to help the old woman and shouted, "Grandma, are you not injured? The old grandmother is frightened."
The old woman hugged Princess Ping'an and said with tears, "Fengtong, my son, where have you been these days? Do you know that your uncle Zhuzhi is dizzy and wants to rebel? These dogs in the house also use their power to bully people and shout to kill their families. There is no longer any smoky miasma in this royal palace. My son, why don't you come out to take care of them? Qingding prince can't control it when he is young. He has to rely on you.
Princess Ping'an knew that these family-in-laws knew nothing about what had happened to her, so the old woman complained like this, so she comforted her in a low voice: "Grandma, don't worry, they will be retribution if they do many injustices. Lord Song, who is in brocade guards outside, has led troops into the palace, waiting to see their retribution."
Gao Xuecheng, who stood beside him, finally reacted and raised his knife and pointed to Princess Ping'an and said, "You... why are you here? Didn't the prince order you to be imprisoned in the West Building and not allowed to leave half a step? Why are you here?"
Princess Ping An glanced at him coldly and said, "This is King Qing's Mansion. Where does this county mainly go to report to you as a slave? Take people out, and the princess here will comfort them back to their rooms. You are only allowed to stay outside the courtyard and are not allowed to come in and disturb them.
Gao Xuecheng shouted, "No, why did you get out? The prince can't order you to be released, is it..."
Before Gao Xuecheng finished his words, he heard a guard screaming, "There is a suspicious person near the left!"
Without saying a word, he saw the miscellaneous footsteps around him, and dozens of figures quickly emerged from the dark, holding black tubular things in their hands and slowly surrounding them.
"No, there is an enemy infiltration." Gao Xuecheng shouted loudly and blew the bamboo flute around his neck in his mouth. The sharp and harsh sound cut through the night sky. The bamboo flute also seemed to give a signal to the people around him to attack. When the bamboo flute sounded, his whereabouts had been exposed anyway, and Song Nan was the first to pull the trigger.
The loud roar of fire came one after another. Gao Xuecheng and his guards had no power to fight back. In front of this domineering firearm, they were put to the ground like cutting leeks without even a knife or sword to the enemy. Almost only in an instant, no one of the more than 20 guards could stand on the ground. The department was bombarded.
At the moment when the firearm sounded, Princess Ping'an quickly pulled the old lady to run a few steps to crawl. These were the details explained by Song Nan. Princess Ping'an insisted on appearing to save people, and Song Nan could not stop her and could only use her to divert the attention of the guards to carry out a surprise attack. Originally, Song Nan did not intend to expose her whereabouts so early. But you can't ignore the thoughts of Princess Ping'an. Fortunately, out of this yard, in front of the house that Princess Ping'an said Zhu Yu lived in. Sooner or later, his whereabouts will be exposed, and it will be fine in the overall situation.
The huge sound of firearms obviously made the guards near the left realize the difference. In the south, there was a bamboo flute dripping screaming, accompanied by the sound of shouting. Song Nan understood that a large number of guards would arrive here in an instant. At this time, he had to immediately rush to Zhu Yu's residence for a moment. If you delay, you will be wrapped up by the group.
"Princess, we have to leave quickly. How about you?"
Princes Ping'an said, "I want to find my brother and settle down my old grandmother and others."
Song Nan nodded and said, "Well, you stay here, remember to let everyone go back to the room to hide, and don't show your head easily."
Princess Ping'an nodded and said, "I know, you have to take care of yourself. There are strange things in that house. Be careful."
Song Nan said, "You should also take care of yourself. Remember, don't walk around and wait for me to pick you up when I come back."
Princess Ping'an's heart was so sad that she was about to cry in her eyes. She waved her hand and said, "I know, you go."
Song Nan turned around and saw 50 guards around him looking at him, so he shouted, "The ammunition is put on. From now on, it will be a moment of fighting for life. Brothers follow me."
Everyone moved, as strong as a horse, quickly rushed to the south gate of the house and disappeared into the darkness.
Princess Ping'an watched their figures disappear, turned around and wiped the tears on their cheeks, and shouted, "Everyone go into the room to hide. Don't come out."
The royal family ran to their residence one after another. Princess Ping'an helped the old woman and whispered in her ear, "Grandma, Fengtong, protect you. Let's find a place to hide."
