Chapter 860 The Great Fight in Beijing 3

A few hours ago, the moment Song Nan stepped into the gate of the palace alone, the 50 guards sent to protect the Zhenguo Mansion on Caishi Street also arrived in front of the Zhenguo Mansion. Originally, Li Daniel wanted to lead the team back to the Zhenguo Mansion to explain the original story, but he was eager to see Zhang Lun to move the rescuers, so he Zhang Rui, the flag officer, took his brothers and went straight to the British mansion north of the altar of heaven and earth.

Zhang Rui is no stranger to the Duke of Zhen. When Wang Yongshang was Song Nan's personal guard thousands of households, Zhang Rui often stayed in Song Mansion as an ordinary personal guard, so he rushed to Song Mansion as he was familiar with it. The situation was not too bad. Maybe he was not prepared for Song Nan's return to Beijing, and foreign soldiers and horses did not have time to take advantage of Song Mansion. Take the means; or because Yang Ting and they disdain to take action against women and children. In short, Songfu is stable and calm.

The arrival of Zhang Rui surprised the whole Song family, because they were all Song Nan's personal guards. They originally went on an expedition with Song Nan. Their return means that Song Nan also came back. But strangely, Song Nan was not in it, which made them very confused and anxious.

The little princess Ye Fanggu and others let Zhang Rui into the hall report that Zhang Rui broke into the Yongding Gate and entered the palace. The women were stunned one by one. In recent days, the situation in Beijing has changed greatly. Although everyone is in the house, they also got some information. Although Zhang Lun did not say it clearly, he sent dozens of people. The guards of the royal palace came to the Song Mansion to strengthen the protection, which also showed that there was a big event in the capital. Now that his husband defected back to Beijing, he did not lead a large army back triumphantly, but was stopped outside the city and had to break into the capital. How strange he thought about this.

However, although Zhang Rui is a personal guard, his knowledge is also very limited. As Song Nan's personal guard, the first qualified standard is not to inquire. He only needs to execute orders. Zhang Rui has long been used to being obedient and will not ask what happened at all.

After the little princess asked Zhang Rui a few words and found nothing, she took the girls back to the back house to discuss the matter and speculated what had happened.

Although the little princess was born in a noble family, she had no idea about these things and just stamped her feet anxiously and said, "It's strange. Tell me what's going on."

The women were silent and one by one frowned and thought about the strangeness of this matter. No one could guess the whole story. The little princess stamped his feet and said, "One by one is usually smart, and there is no clue at the critical moment. It's really useless."

In the face of the accusations of the old woman, everyone did not take it seriously. They were all focused on the matter of Song Nan's return to Beijing. Who would care about these?

"Don't worry, sister." Someone spoke quietly, but Zhu Fengtong, who only came to the house yesterday.

After the news of the victory of the rebellion spread in the capital, it also meant that Song Nan was about to return to Beijing, so the careful Dai Suer specially invited Zhu Fengtong and Yang Kooer to live in, just to let her also welcome Song Nan's concubines team, because the family banquet before Song Nan's departure had actually named Zhu Fengtong and Yang Koer to be Song Fuyi. Member, Dai Suer's doing this is also a good relationship in advance. After all, it is a concubine. It is better to have a boudoir alliance in the future, and the position in the family can continue to be consolidated.

"Sister Zhu, how can I not be in a hurry? Do you think this is a little strange? How can there be a majestic Duke who fights triumphantly outside but is rejected? The little princess shouted.

Zhu Fengtong frowned his eyebrows and bit his lower lip for a long time, and finally said, "If you want me, I'm afraid this is not a good thing."

Ah? Do you mean that something will happen to your husband?"

"Sister Zhu, don't scare us."

They know Zhu Fengtong's identity. The royal princess is well-informed and experienced. Her words are of weight.

Zhu Fengtong said quietly, "The slave family does not dare to scare you randomly, but this matter is really strange. Song... Nan triumphantly returned to Beijing, and it is normal for the cabinet to send someone out of the city to welcome him, but it doesn't make sense to say that he will not enter the city." Zhu Fengtong wanted to call Song Lang, but suddenly found that he had not really married into Song Mansion, so he hurriedly changed his words.

"Just now, the flag official said that Song Nan was blocked outside Zhengyang Gate again, and finally had to leave the camp and Lord Wang to enter the inner city, which was even more unusual. There are many rumors about the changes in the city in the past few days, but in the past, when there were major events in the city, the gates inside and outside the city were never closed, and even people with the status of the Duke of Zhen are not allowed to bring troops into the inner city, which is obviously unreasonable. Zhu Fengtong frowned.

"Yes, my husband is still the commander of Jinyiwei. Where is the place where Jinyiwei can't go? Even if something happens, Jinyiwei is unimpeded. Dai Suer nodded.

"He is eager to enter the palace and is even willing to go alone, either his safety will not be threatened or he has to do it. I think the latter is more likely, because he asked 50 brocade guards to come to the house to protect us, which shows that he is very worried about the safety of the Song family, which is to prevent anyone from being unfavorable to the Song family.

The women nodded one after another, and the others were fine. Song Nan sent people back to protect her family, obviously because she was afraid that someone would be unfavorable to the family. What kind of situation would make Song Nan so worried? It is obviously unusual to be connected to these things that happened.

Ye Fanggu said slowly, "In this way, something big happened in the court. My husband was rejected and had to break into the city, and finally he was allowed to enter the palace alone. In addition, my husband sent someone back to protect it shows that the whole thing is related to my husband; Miss Fengtong said that my husband will be in trouble, which is reasonable."

Zhu Fengtong nodded slowly, and the women looked at each other and saw worry and fear in each other's eyes. If there is one thing in the world that can make Song Nan worry about the safety of her family, it is obviously beyond everyone's imagination.

Who dares to be unfavorable to her husband? I went to my brother and asked him to lead troops to the inner city to see what happened. If anyone touched Song Nan, I would let my brother kill his whole family. The little princess suddenly jumped up, raised her foot and walked out.

Aunt Ye Fang quickly grabbed her and said, "Don't mess around. Now it's just a guess. Everything has not been settled yet. Isn't it self-defeating for you to make such a scene?"

The little princess said, "What should I do? Shall we wait here? If someone is unfavorable to her husband, it will be too late for us to know it.

Zhu Fengtong whispered, "What Auntie and the princess sister said are reasonable. My husband didn't send a message back. We can't move around, otherwise I'm afraid it will bring trouble to my husband. But we can't wait. We have to send someone to inquire about the news. Well, I will go outside Zhengyang Gate in person to see if I can enter the inner city, even if If you can't get in, you can also get some news. You are waiting for my news here."

Everyone has ignored Zhu Fengtong's name for Song Nan and said one after another, "I'll go, I'll go too."

Zhu Fengtong waved his hand and said, "You can't go. Your identity will be recognized. I'm not from Song. In recent years, I have also known several businessmen with faces in the capital to take care of business. The British father and the father of the girl don't say anything. Maybe you can hear some clues from these people and wait obediently. Don't act rashly; Song Nan often said that we should be calm, bold and careful when things happen. At this time, we need to be calm as usual and don't make any abnormal actions.

The women felt very reasonable. Although the little princess was irritable, she listened to what Zhu Fengtong said and no longer insisted. Zhu Fengtong took her maidservant Qingluan out of the corner gate of Songfu and walked all the way to Zhengyang Gate like the masters and servants of ordinary people shopping.

The daughters of the Song family waited anxiously in the house. An hour passed. This half day was the most difficult half day in their lives. They fell into silence in the back house and didn't even have the mood to eat lunch. They just comforted each other and said that no news was the best news. In the afternoon, a rumbling sound suddenly came in the silence. The women listened carefully, and Lu Qingli and Yang Yuer heard that it was a fight. At the sound of the cannon, everyone suddenly became nervous.

Without saying a word, the little princess stretched out her hand and rushed out. The women also realized that the city began to fight. Gun, that was not small, so they all followed the back house to the front hall and walked to the second entrance, but saw Zhu Fengtong's master and servant coming in a hurry. Everyone hurried to meet the questioning. Zhu Fengtong's face was pale and her body was shaky. Dai Suer quickly pulled her into the back house to drink water before talking. Zhu Fengtong took a few sips of hot water and gasped. A little even, then I said all the information I saw and the information I found.

After leaving Songfu, Zhu Fengtong first went outside Zhengyang Gate. At that time, Jinyiwei was gathering. Zhu Fengtong realized that the situation was wrong, but she wanted to find out the reason of the matter, so she went around to inquire about the situation and finally got the reason of the matter. Zhu Fengtong, who was in the royal family, naturally understood what the change of the throne would bring. She also understood why Song Nan broke into the capital and had to go to the palace to see the emperor even if she was alone. It must be for the future candidates for the new emperor. Zhu Fengtong knows clearly what ordinary people don't know. Whoever elected the new emperor can ascend the throne will take the throne as a matter of course in the future. Song Nan is so urgent that she hurriedly returned to Beijing and broke into the city. It must be the candidate for the throne that he did not want to see the result, which means that everything he struggled for is about to come to nothing. He can't be unhurried.

When Zhu Fengtong returned outside Zhengyang Gate again, she saw the scene she most wanted to see. A large number of soldiers and horses gathered above and below Zhengyang Gate, and the little princess's brother, the British Duke, was also here. The soldiers and horses of the Beijing camp, regiment camp, and Jinyiwei gathered here. The gunpoint under the city were facing the city, and the bow and crossbows and shells on the city were facing the city. The war is on the verge of breaking out.

Zhu Fengtong hid in the distance and watched all this. She secretly prayed that Song Nan would be fine in the palace. If nothing happened in the palace, the sword-drawn war outside could not be fought. On the contrary, once there was a fight outside, Song Nan had an accident in the palace.

When the roar of fire sounded in the palace, it was heard clearly outside Zhengyang Gate, and Zhu Fengtong's heart suddenly came to his throat. Obviously, the palace has changed, and the battle outside is about to begin, and the only thing she can do is to pray for Song Nan and hope that he can be safe. .

Zhu Fengtong hoped that Zhang Lun's soldiers and horses could quickly capture Zhengyang Gate, and then enter the palace to rescue Song Nan and end all this. However, she found that the battle was even, and Zhang Lun's soldiers and horses could not break through the city wall at all, which meant that Song Nan would be helpless in the inner city palace.

Under the reminder of Qingluan, Zhu Fengtong had to return to Songfu to deliver letters. She wanted to bring good news to everyone, so she had been paying attention to the war situation in dangerous places, but in the end she had to tell everyone the disappointing news.

Half of the dead silence in the room, fear and even some despair permeated the air. Although Zhu Fengtong's tone was as calm as possible, everyone felt a great crisis from her narrative.

Before Song Nan went on the expedition, a few words were revealed at home about the competition for imperial heirs in the court. Although Song Nan adhered to the habit of not talking about public affairs at home, the major events in her heart often appeared inadvertently. Among the closest people, nothing could be hidden.

Every time they see Song Nan's eyebrows locked, all the women can do is to comfort Song Nan silently and comfort Song Nan with great gentleness. In fact, they can't help. They all think that no matter what happens, Song Nan will always solve it satisfactorily. Just like all previous crises, Song Nan will also find a solution to this dispute between emperors and heirs.

But now, they suddenly realized the seriousness of the matter. While Song Nan was out, other people in the court had already tamped with them, and the reason why their husband hurried back to Beijing seemed to be a little reckless. It can be seen that Song Nan was also unprepared.

In the silence, Lu Qingli said in a low voice, "Sister Zhu, do you mean that he is trapped in the inner city? The soldiers and horses of the British Duke and Jinyiwei outside are blocked outside Zhengyang Gate and can't get in? Then if the Zhengyang Gate can't be broken, isn't the eldest brother in danger?

Zhu Fengtong nodded gently and said, "Although I don't want to admit this, I'm afraid that's the truth; I don't know what happened in the palace, but it must be related to Song Nan's entry into the palace at this time. The foreign cabinet and the soldiers and horses of the governor' office of the five armies are obviously ready. In this case, the situation in the inner city palace must be extremely dangerous, because there are not many soldiers and horses available under Song Nan in the inner city.

Ye Fang stamped her foot and said, "What should I do? My husband is too impulsive. Why did he break into the tiger's den alone? Don't you know that it would be better to endure and follow the triumphant army back to Beijing?

Dai Suer shook her head and said, "My husband must have a reason to do this, but we don't know. The problem now is that the husband is very dangerous in the inner city, and the British man and horse can't attack the inner city. If it is exhausted, it is extremely unfavorable to his husband. How can he think of a way to attack the inner city? Once Grandpa Zhang's soldiers and horses enter the inner city, his husband's crisis can be relieved. This is what needs to be considered at present.

Lu Qingli said anxiously, "But what can we do for the war? There are less than 200 guards and personal guards in the house. Lord Zhang can't break the Zhengyang Gate with tens of thousands of people. It's useless for us to send them.

The little princess jumped up and walked out. Aunt Ye Fang quickly stopped her and asked, "Where is my sister going?"

The little princess gritted her teeth and said, "I'm going to help my brother attack the city and take everyone in the house. One more person will have more strength. It's better than waiting for bad news here. If something happens to my husband, I will die with him. Let's just have a dead net.

Ye Fanggu bit her lip and said, "Well, I'll go with you. I haven't touched my sword for a long time. You don't have to wait any longer."

After saying that, they went forward to take the little princess's arm, and the two raised their feet and walked out.

The women were stunned. Although they felt that it was useless to help like this, there was no refutation. If Song Nan was unfortunate, what does it mean for these people to be alive?

Lu Qingli also got up and chased after him and shouted, "Cousin, wait for me, I'll go too."

Zhu Fengtong raised his height and shouted, "Don't go."

The little princess turned around in a stunned voice and said coldly, "Sister Zhu, don't forget that this is Song Mansion. You are not from the Song Mansion. Naturally, you don't care much about your husband's life and death, but for us, your husband is our heaven. When the sky collapses, we can't live. Sister Zhu still hurried back to her house. This matter has nothing to do with you.

Zhu Fengtong's dignified face was slightly pale and said quietly, "Sister, I have to stop you from saving Song Nan, but you can't help anything this time. There are old ladies and children in the house. Don't you even care about them when you go here? Even if you die for Song Nan's martyrdom, what will the old lady do? What about the children? Ten thousand steps back, even if something unexpected happens, the first priority is to protect the safety of the old lady and continue the blood of the Song family. Such impulsiveness is really unwise.

The little princess's face turned red and she wanted to be angry but could not be angry. After holding back for a long time, she suddenly kicked the flower rail by the door and kicked a basin of blooming spring begonia into pieces and the ground was in a mess. My own tears also gushed out.

The women couldn't help crying.

In a state of grief, someone whispered, "Sister Zhu, you just said that the reason why Zhengyang Gate could not be attacked is that the British prince's firearms are not strong enough, and the wall of Zhengyang Gate is too strong, right?"

It is Yang Koer, who has been silent. There are still tears in her big round eyes, but her expression is still calm.

Zhu Fengtong wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and nodded, "I looked in the distance. The little father-in-law's artillery bombarded the city gate, but it had no effect. There were many soldiers and horses at the head of the city, and they were also repulsed after several hard attacks, and many people died. The other party is ready. Although I don't know how to fight, I can see that I can't attack at all if it goes on like this.

Yang Keer thought, "The wall is strong, and the general gun of the Shenji Camp is really difficult to work. Even our rocket cannon is useless, and the power of the shell is too small. However... Sister Qingli, there is not a door in the arsenal cave of Shilizhuang in the south of our city..."

Lu Qingli's boss with open eyes suddenly jumped up to interrupt Yang Yuer's words and said, "Do you mean that iron chariot?"

Yang Guoer nodded slowly and said, "That's right."

Lu Qingli said, "You mean to get it to assist in the siege?"

Yang Guoer nodded slowly and said, "Maybe it will work."

Everyone was puzzled, and the little princess frowned and asked, "What are you talking about?"
