Qingchuan History

Chapter 863
This moment is like a farewell to the rest of my life.

Jing Tingge pinched his right hand into the palm of his left hand, blocking all bodily reactions with pain.

Then Ah Yan's small hands waved, calling for Daddy urgently.Shangguan Yan then withdrew his hand, the person retreated, and the child turned his head, only to see that the two adults were panting a little, with strange expressions on their faces.

The moment he got out of the car with the child in his arms, Jing Tingge stared at Jiang Cheng through the door.

There was no exchange of eye contact between this person and Shangguanyan - he was avoiding suspicion too much, and she was actually suspicious.

Jiang, has the same pronunciation as Jiang from Shangguan Yan's mother clan, that is, Jiang Ci from Southern Army Weiwei Jiangci.And this person made the same public answer as herself last year, and then entered the auxiliary pavilion together as the king's counselor, so special, she quickly asked Murong Xun to investigate his origin carefully.

It is very clear, and it is so clear that it seems to have been prepared in advance, because there is no doubt about it.

She couldn't hold back to look at Shangguan Yan's back.

Ah Yan's two chubby arms hugged his father very familiarly and affectionately, but his small face was always looking at him, eyes full of reluctance.

"Aunt Ge is done, she will come to find Ah Yan and Daddy." She refused to get off the car just now, but Shangguan Yan coaxed patiently, "The three of us have checked, haven't we?"

He can really teach people not to forget.

– The southerly winds are mostly summer winds.Think of me when summer winds up. 【1】

– In case Aunt Ge forgets, pull Gougou, if she doesn't come, she's just a puppy.

She always remembered these two sentences and two scenes very clearly.Indeed, as Ruan Xueyin said, many seemingly useless moments are more engraved in a lifetime than more carefully prepared scenes.

When she turned into the relatively hidden Stone Alley, which was very close to the palace, she thought about whether to do something.

He was also afraid that only Jiang Cheng could bring her into the palace, so he endured it until the carriage stopped and he had to walk into Xianyang Gate.

Xianyang Gate is close to Chenxiang Terrace, but its location is off the beaten path. It is a good choice to choose this gate at an extraordinary time.

It is also worthy of vigilance.

"It's entering the palace. Sir, these soldiers and guards from Mianzhou may not be able to follow me anymore."

They are all the emperor's personal guards, and they can follow in openly as long as they show their badges, but obviously, it's not the time to confess.

"Okay." Jingting Ge responded, "Please lead the way."

It meant that she entered the palace with him alone.

The two guards under Xianyang Gate saw Jiang Cheng and opened the palace gate, not fully, as if they were about to close it again when they entered.

With such a vision, looking inward, the corridor is empty, and there are no shadows of ghosts.

But there must be one or two people lying down.If she goes in, she may be decapitated.

"Please sir." Jiang Cheng politely.

Jing Tingge said hello again and gave one of the guards a wink.

The next moment, the personal guard grabbed Jiang Cheng's neck from behind, and pierced his abdomen with a long knife.

When the second soldiers from Xianyang sect looked over, the bloody white blade had already moved towards them.

He was about to draw his sword to fight, but was restrained by two other guards from behind, blood spattered the palace gate in an instant, and there was no sound.

Jiang Cheng and two palace guards just fell silently in a pool of blood.The ten people Murong Xun sent to pick her up are the best of the guards, no matter how silent they kill, they will not be weaker than those who are ambushing inside the palace gate at this moment.

"I'll go first. You guys wait in the crack of the door and stare at me as I walk down the corridor. Calculate the distance. If the distance is too far, you have to follow in no matter what. Otherwise, if someone jumps out to attack me at that time, you won't be able to rescue me in time." Ting Ge confessed angrily.

"Then why don't the subordinates directly follow Mr.—"

Jing Tingge shook his head, "I want to see what kind of arrangement it is."

She took the first step into Xianyang Gate, which was extraordinarily heavy.At the same time, he raised his head and looked at the top of the left and right palace walls.

The two lines of cold light stretched straight from the Xianyang Gate to the end of the corridor—it was so powerful, only two people were killed, nearly a hundred crossbowmen!And blatantly and without concealment, not only did she want to kill her, but if Jiang Cheng hadn't already died outside, he would have been killed by random arrows!

"Let go!" He heard an order from the depths of the tunnel.

At this time, shooting arrows is not the best choice, because Jing Tingge has only stepped into the palace gate one step, that is to say, only the few crossbowmen closest to Xianyang Gate can shoot accurately.

But can't wait.This woman was so shrewd that she completed the prediction in one step, and if she hesitated for a moment and allowed her to withdraw, all arrows would be useless!

"Array with shields!"

Jing Tingge had no intention of retreating at all, and ordered loudly, which coincided with the word "Fang".

But seeing the eight personal guards rushing in in an instant, they raised their shields above their heads, forming a square formation, and surrounded Jingtingge tightly in the middle.The remaining two soldiers hid themselves behind the shield array, drew their feathered arrows, and drew their bows.

"Shoot them down!" Jing Tingge yelled loudly, letting him shoot the nearest archers.

The opponent's arrow rain hit at the same moment, inserting into the shield phalanx and making a sharp friction sound.The two shooting guards were hard to beat with two arrows. Fortunately, the shield array was in front of them to protect them, and only one of them was injured in his arm.

"Come back and hide!" Hearing Jing Tingge's muffled voice in the shield formation, "Do you know the length of this corridor?"

"Keep running quickly in the shield array, half a quarter of an hour will reach the end!"

"Okay! Please take care of yourself, crouch forward if necessary, and Ting Ge will automatically crawl!"

Everyone knew that she said this to keep them safe. After all, walking crouched would make it easier for the shield to cover the body, but it would definitely affect the speed.These ten personal guards have followed Murong Xun for many years, and they know that Mr. Jing's safety is beyond the sky. Seeing this situation, they planned to protect each other with their lives, let alone let her climb into the palace.

There should be a tacit understanding at the moment, and the shield array began to move quickly in the arrow rain.It was really as fast as lightning, so that Jing Tingge had to run under the shield and in the wall so as not to be delayed.

She clearly heard the sound of the arrow piercing the armor.

And the muffled hum of soldiers diagonally ahead.

More than one person was hit by an arrow.It's just because the shield does not cover the vital points.And the speed of movement has not decreased by half, the bravery and endurance of the emperor's personal guards!

The shield on the left rear finally fell to the ground.

The warrior holding the shield was hit by three arrows in the chest and abdomen, and continued to run backwards against the three arrows, until now, he had reached the end of the corridor, no matter how hard he was to hold on, he fell to the ground.

There are also two guards at the palace gate at the end of the corridor.

Seeing that the shield formation had successfully broken through, they swung their knives and came. The second soldier with the shield on his head had no time to dodge and was hit by a single blow.The front part of the shield collapsed in an instant, but there was no need to continue to maintain it. The remaining guards immediately threw their shields and drew knives, fighting one-on-one, "Mr. Hu, go in!"

Only two people are needed to fight one-on-one.

The other four hurriedly surrounded Jing Tingge again, and strode across the palace gate.

From then on, Jing Tingge found out that besides the one holding the shield on the left back earlier, there were three other guards who died in the rain of arrows along the corridor.

Step through this palace gate and go forward, which is the northwest side of Hanzhang Hall.

According to Jiangcheng's half-truth, there are defenses in front of Hanzhang Hall, and they are protected, otherwise Wei Palace will be in a mess at this moment.

It should be said that Huo Qi has not controlled the situation in the palace and has not brought the little prince to his side, so he must continue to confront.

She should go to Yuanlin Hall first.

If possible, transfer Murong Xu to a more comprehensive place, so that the Huo family will never have the opportunity to take advantage of the little prince except to announce that he is usurping power and seeking rebellion.

Once it is usurping power and seeking rebellion, the morale of the army, the morale of the people, the situation and the corresponding approach will be very different.

She believed everything Shangguan Yan said.

So he suppressed the urge to go to the vicinity of Hanzhang Hall to find out the truth, and went straight to Yuanlin Hall under the cover of the guards.

There was silence in front of Yuanlin Hall.

A bodyguard who was not injured and looked neat was ordered by Jing Tingge to check, and came back half a moment later:

"Sir, if there are no living people in the hall, they are all dead."

Jing Tingge was startled, and rushed straight in, his eyes like a falcon quickly scanning the corridor and hall.

There are palace people, there are soldiers and guards, and in the depths of the bedroom, there is nothing in front of the cradle with the dead nurse's corpse.

late.

Totally late.

After a whole night passed, Huo Qi certainly couldn't wait for the day, anyway, he would find a way to snatch away his son, announce his death, and install a new king.

And whether he will imprison Murong Xun first, or kill him directly, obviously the latter is more likely.

"Sir." Seeing Jing Tingge standing motionless in front of the cradle, a relative guard asked tentatively, "Do you want to go to the Imperial Palace?"

nature.In fact, her heart was beating wildly, thinking that Murong Xun was dying or had already lost his life, her whole body seemed to be frozen in ice.

Tried to move his fingers, but couldn't.

"gentlemen."

"Of course." Her mind was also frozen, and she answered subconsciously, then pinched herself severely, turned and walked.

In the huge Wei Palace, with criss-crossing long roads, there is no patrol team, and there are no palace people walking around.Yes, those who know the current affairs have all surrendered, either loyal or hiding, waiting for the upheaval to end before serving the new master.

In this way, she walked to the front of the palace.

After all, the emperor's residence was decent, and the guards in front of the gate saw her and nodded their heads as before.

The four guards guarding Jingtingge were a little confused. Those two were their colleagues, and they had been on duty in the Imperial Palace for more than a year. At this moment, they acted as if nothing happened at all.

But they clearly came in through all kinds of difficulties and dangers, just to save him.

Jing Tingge felt that his hands and feet were frozen again.

This kind of calm can only show that the overall situation has been settled, or it will be completely determined after she steps into this door.

There was the sound of a child crying.

Of course it was Murong Xu, who was frightened and left the wet nurse.

If she goes in, she will see Murong Xun's dead body.

Or the moment Huo Qi thrust the dagger into his chest.

Then I was also killed, life, ambition, ideal, the moment of fireworks, the moment of life.

Leave the green hills there.She said to herself in her heart.If you keep your life, everything is still possible; if you go in, you are just dying with him.

But how could she let him die alone.

When the king is in trouble, it is the fault of the minister.He generously gave her the ladder and allowed her to climb it; she paid her back with loyalty and never thought of changing hands.

Even though Gu Xinglang tried his best to offer an olive branch.

Even if everyone says that he is not as good as his brother Murong Lin, even worse than Gu Xinglang, but a good bird should choose a tree to live in.

She doesn't think so.He doesn't have the wisdom of Gu Xinglang, but because of this he is more persuasive and able to accept words; compared to Murong Lin who is ruthless, he is more generous, with just the right amount of courage and prestige, he is indeed the king's choice.

For a king, there is no need to be as smart as Gu Xinglang.It is enough to have people in your heart, know how to distinguish loyalty from traitors, learn from your courtiers, and be able to make the right decisions in an emergency.He still has her, and she will assist him to the end.

But it was too late.

Jing Tingge vaguely remembers the last time she shed tears when she parted with A Yan Changxinmen.

After that time, she told herself not to cry anymore, Jing Tingge doesn't shed tears.

At this time, she didn't have a sore nose, but her entire face was completely soaked.It was so silent, even the eye sockets were not red, but the tears flowed like a river, cutting continuously, it was a pity in this life.

She walked in with a stiff face, and there was still a voice in her heart to dissuade: Don't go in, if you live, at least you must protect the Murong family for him, at least you can't let the Huo family succeed, at least you must kill Shangguan to avenge him.

Then she realized that Huo's would not succeed.

Shangguan wins the banquet, they will promote the new system and start a new generation.

Let him win.Let him pay off his half-life hard work, and let him realize this absurd and alluring ideal of the world.

And she couldn't push Murong Xun to the throne with her own hands and watch him fall to hell alone.

She has to be with him.

There were more people in the vestibule of the Imperial Palace than when she left, all of them were garrisoned guards, there were at least twenty of them, which showed that the four people she brought back had no chance of winning in a fight.

Those four people are waiting at the door according to orders.There is no need to sacrifice them anymore.

Pass through the main hall, go to the atrium and go to the sleeping hall, even the position of the palace servants under the corridor has not changed.

Except for the first night in midsummer that year, she never entered his bedroom again.This is the second time, but also the last time, where she and he are buried.
