Chapter 38 Walking in Liujing at night
(First update)
——————
"So, I thank the Taoist priest for Yun'er."
Duke Huo gave a deep salute to the fat Taoist.
"Since you have made up your mind, let's go."
The fat Taoist priest sighed secretly and looked up at Liu Jingye, which was full of stars. He pinched his fingers and pinched, and a trace of bitterness floated at the corners of his mouth.
"Master, I'm a hermit, and naturally I won't help you. However, whether it's true or false, you should keep it in mind.
After saying that, the Taoist gave a head to Duke Huo and turned around.
It was not until this time that Huo Chuanyun noticed something wrong, and his bronze eyes gradually turned red, and he looked at the old man who wanted to talk in disbelief.
For a long time, the old man said.
"Yun'er, from now on, you should listen to your master's words and treat your master like..."
"Grandpa, Yun'er won't leave!"
Duke Huo was interrupted before he finished speaking.
The young man blushed and struggled hysterically, but the fat man's arm seemed to be made of iron. Even if he tried his best, he couldn't break free.
As far as he could see, the old man who had protected himself for more than ten years raised a long knife across his chest and looked at himself with deep meaning. Then he no longer hesitated, turned around and dragged his heavy and solid footsteps to the war horse. Huo Chuanyun was stunned and gradually stopped struggling.
He knew and learned that gesture, but Grandpa had never done it to him before tonight.
It is the gift of the ancient generals to carry the knife across the chest and break the heart and mind.
"Bad boy, your grandfather no longer treats you as a child, and you don't look like a little daughter anymore. From tonight, you will be an adult."
The inexplicable voice of the Taoist came to his ear. Huo Chuanyun's nose was sore, and tears came out of his eyes and couldn't stop flowing down.
The tears were blurred, and the tall figure of the Duke of Huo was getting farther and farther away, and even the Duke's mansion became small. The first time he left the mansion where he had been hidden for 16 years, unlike what he had imagined before, Huo Chuanyun had no excitement or joy in his heart, but only endless sadness.
Why did grandpa let me go... Is he going to war again... This battle...
This battle...
He suddenly cut off the idea that made him flustered, looked at the capital, and the teenager shook his lower lip tightly.
For a long time, he raised his arm and crossed his chest out of thin air.
......
"True and false is also true."
Tap the long knife, Duke Huo sat on horseback, looked at the east from afar, and muttered.
Behind him were 300 fully armed iron riders, about 40 years old, all of whom were the guards who followed him in the south and the north.
At this moment, the sound of horses' hoofs sounded from the end of Dongyuan Street, and it was Huo Xiaosan, a family who grew up in the government.
"I told Grandpa that my subordinates have informed Grandpa Jin Wuwei that he will come later."
Duke Huo nodded and did not speak.
"My lord, we..."
"Don't be impatient."
The frown was twisted, and the Duke of Huo looked at the eastern suburbs, with a deep thought on his face.
"The man in the palace sent a message that the left prime minister would not take action until ten days later. Now that it is only seven days, he can't stand it anymore."
Hearing the words, Huo Xiaosan hesitated slightly and held the boxing.
"Is it that the left prime minister has found the father-in-law and..."
"What if he noticed, he thought that he still needed to transfer troops from various prefectures and counties to kill him? True or false, even if he has the ability to mobilize 100,000 soldiers and horses.
Sitting on the back of the horse, Duke Huo looked coldly to the east, raised the hand holding the long knife, his knees shrank, took off his spine and rose, held the knife in both hands, and shouted loudly over the eastern suburbs.
A simple and unpretentious knife was cut out, and a trace of a crack floated in the air. In a blink of an eye, the rolling smoke and dust in the east of Liujing was scattered. His own soldiers looked at Qianli, and then held a boxing to the Duke of Huo.
"Master, most of the people in that team are scarecrows. They were previously covered by Taoist charms, but now their original shape is exposed. There are only more than 10,000 people in that team, which is defeated by one-fifth of Jin Wuwei.
Duke Huo nodded, withdrew the long knife, and his face turned pale. He cut this knife with fine fire, which consumes a lot of energy, but it is also worth it to expose the trick of the left prime minister. The Duke of Huo was the right prime minister and nominally took charge of the military power of the State of Liu. However, during the Kaiping period when the left prime minister took control of the government, I don't know how many generals in other places were bought and joined the left. Fortunately, the Duke of Huo's family was all over the State of Liu. A few months ago, someone secretly reported to him. Zuo Xiang secretly dispatched troops and horses, intending to go to Beijing to force the palace. Naturally, the Duke of Huo also had countermeasures. Even if Zuo Xiang could dispatch troops and horses, it would not exceed 30,000, and the capital guarded by the Duke of Huo could not be captured by 20,000 to 30,000 horses.
"The soldiers and horses outside the city are actually fake. They want to attract the father-in-law... Transfer the tiger away from the mountain, it's terrible!"
Huo Xiaosan's expression changed sharply. He looked eagerly in the direction of the palace and stopped talking.
"He transferred the tiger away from the mountain. He was ready to cheat me, and then launched a mutiny to force you to stand up. Or..."
A cold light flashed in his eyes. Duke Huo suddenly turned around and looked at the palace. Sure enough, the palace, which should have been calm, was suddenly brightly lit, and there were faint generals holding open fire and holding crossbows on the palace.
The long knife stood horizontally. Duke Huo stroked the mane on the horse's back, raised his head, and a white light flashed in his eyes. Then he clamped the horse's abdomen and drove to the palace first.
"The princes follow me!"
"No!"
......
"A general shakes his arms and shouts, 300 children come out, walking in Liujing at night, the first achievement in the ages... Could it be that the old play will be repeated again?
Over the sky over Liujing, Simajin sat on the head of a snake, looked at the cavalry who went straight to the palace and said to himself.
On the other side, An Bochen sat upright, his palms were covered with sweat, and he dared not breathe. The snake skin is smooth. Although there are a few snake scales, if you are not careful, you will still slip down. The most important thing is that the python is flying in the sky. If it accidentally falls, the consequences can be imagined.
With a tense face, An Bochen glanced sideways at Simajin. His red hair fluttered in the wind, and his big red skirt was fluttering. At this time, he was looking at the palace with great interest, as if he did not notice An Bochen's eyes at all, but there was a faint smile on his cheeks.
Why does she like to change clothes so much? Today, one by one. If someone accidentally marries her in the future, she will have to buy a room of clothes... However, if you can marry her, you must be a nobleman, and you don't have to worry about money.
"Xiao Anzi, what are you muttering about?"
He stared at An Bochen, and Simajin pinched the seal with his hand.
"Hatch it."
When the words fell, the python suddenly bent down and rushed away. An Bochen had no time to think too much. He grabbed the snake scales and lay on the snake's head with fear.
In the afterglow, Sima Jin narrowed his eyes and a narrow smile appeared at the corners of his mouth. An Bochen sighed secretly. He thought that the red brush was intentional, and it seemed that his anger had not subsided.
"Hong Fu, I want to go back to find Huo Chuanyun."
Although he would like to see how the Duke of Huo continued the good story of "Walking through Liujing at night", An Bochen was more worried about the young man who could not be seen in the Duke's mansion.
"What's wrong with you and him? It's like glue after only a few days of knowing each other?"
Simajin's playful words came from his ear. Although An Bochen didn't understand it, he also knew that Simajin was talking about it again.
"Xiao Anzi, you don't want to practice guns in a hurry. The Duke of Huo led 300 people to save Ma Qinwang. I missed it tonight, but I won't see you again."
Hearing the words, An Bochen said the same. He grabbed the snake scales and looked down. He saw that Duke Huo led 300 cavalry and passed the Tang ancient road, like a gust of fire tore open the night and rushed straight to the palace.
Although there are not many 300 riders, they can gallop their horses in the dead of night. The silence in the middle of the night is broken under the horse's hoof, which also breaks the beautiful dreams of the people of the capital. After so many years, I saw the heroic posture of Duke Huo walking in Liujing at night. The people were in front of the window and looked at the white-haired general with horses and knives. They were inexplicable.
Is it possible that Liujing is in trouble again?
However, even if the treacherous minister makes trouble, as long as the prince is there, he will be able to keep Liujing well-round.
In the eyes of the people of Liujing, Duke Huo rushed to the gate of the palace with three hundred horses, crossed the knife and horse, and looked up at the complex soldiers in the palace.
"Where are you?"
The crow was silent, and the soldiers guarding the palace did not answer, but the bow string in his hand was pulled tighter.
"Where are you?"
Duke Huo asked in a low voice.
There is still no answer.
At this moment, a soldier with a military talisman ran to the top of the city, looked at the Duke of Huo with fear, and then raised the talisman high.
"Lord Zuo Xiang has a life. Duke Huo put on armor and entered the palace late at night. He had a bad heart. Don't let the traitor succeed!"
"A traitor?"
A trace of coldness floated at the corners of his mouth, and Duke Huo muttered.
"So it seems that the left phase has been successful."
The long knife was on the ground, and a "buzz" swung far away. Duke Huo lowered his eyes. In an instant, there was a faint light in his eyes and suddenly raised the big knife.
"Attack the city!"
The order came out, and 300 guards pulled down the armor at the same time, followed the first Duke Huo, and went straight to the palace gate.
The soldiers at the head of the city were full of panic and threw spears and arrows one after another, but they were all rolled aside by the long knife danced by the Duke of Huo.
The shadow was scratched, and the long knife was cut off. As 14 years ago, the door of the palace carved with gold and bronze was split in half, and Duke Huo led three hundred children**.
"Oh, there seems to be something wrong."
Over the palace, Sima Jin leaned over and frowned.
After thinking for a moment, she took out a Taoist charm from her arms and recited a spell. Soon, a bronze mirror appeared in front of them. The scene in the mirror was the Liu Palace where the Duke of Huo galloped.
It was not only her, but also An Bochen noticed something different.
After breaking into the palace, the Duke of Huo encountered almost no obstruction. The hinterland of the palace was empty, only the sound of horses' hoofs echoing above and below the Liu Palace, which was particularly strange.
For no reason, An Bochen's heart beat faster, and a trace of worry flashed between his eyebrows.
Although the Duke of Huo had murdered him, he also planted the Taoist charm, but An Bochen was a citizen of the State of Liu, and he still respected the military god who had guarded the State of Liu for decades. What's more, only the Taoist charm can be untied by the Duke of Huo. It is reasonable that An Bochen does not want the Duke of Huo to have an accident.
If the Duke of Huo is not here, no one can solve the Taoist charm in An Bochen's forehead. From then on, he will also be trapped in this 70-li land of Liujing and will never come out again.
