Start with the humble bridegroom

Chapter 288

The low-key and luxurious Wulong oil wall car is moving slowly under the protection of more than 20 guards.

After Emperor Zhang Hua went out of the palace in micro-clothes, he would go back to the palace through Yujie, pass Qingchongfang, then turn southeast to Jinli Street, and enter the south gate of the palace city.

In the afternoon of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the crowds on the street dispersed a lot.

The smoke from every household is much thicker than before, and there is probably a table of good dishes tonight.

The Wulong Youbi Cart had just left Qingchongfang and arrived at the corner of Jinli Street.

The four guards who were opening the way in front suddenly stopped.

At the entrance of Jinli Street, there are three more stalls than before, a vegetable seller, a fish seller and a knife grinder. There is a middle-aged man waiting beside the knife grinder. It seems that the knife grinder is sharpening him. Home kitchen knife.

very wrong!

There are no residents on Jinli Street, they are all gardens and warehouses, and because it is close to Miyagi, it has always been forbidden to cook with fire.

So, who would come here to sell vegetables and fish?
And the kitchen knife sharpener, who came here to sharpen the knife, is also very weird.This middle-aged man was clearly dressed like an ordinary person, but he ran to the most affluent area of ​​the city with a kitchen knife to find someone to sharpen it?

The Wulong Youbi cart stopped, and the guards felt as if they were facing an enemy for a while.

"Go to the wall and guard the wind!"

Amidst the leader's loud shouts, several guards quickly set up a ladder and sent the two guards up to the street wall on one side.

The two guards watching the wind had just stepped onto the wall, and their expressions changed almost at the same time.

"Withdraw! There are bows and arrows!"

More than a dozen blasts sounded, and the two guards were shot like hedgehogs and fell down.

"retreat!"

The leader of the guards, who didn't care about the dead men, started to turn around while protecting the oil wall cart.This place is only one street away from Miyagi, and under normal circumstances, most people would choose to rush through it. Maybe half a street away, Miyagi's imperial guards would have already arrived.

But the head guard didn't dare to bet, he chose to retreat temporarily.

Since the other party dared to set up an ambush here, there is a high probability that they have managed to temporarily entangle the guards at the south gate.

Seeing that the oil wall car started to turn around, several peddlers and middle-aged men sharpening their knives quickly took off their coats, drew out their short knives and rushed towards this side.The side gate of a garden in the front section of Jinli Street was kicked open, and a group of civilian swordsmen came out, numbering four to fifty.

At the same time, at the intersection where Wulongche was located, there was also the sound of a door bolt being pulled from a warehouse door, and footsteps were heard inside the door.The four guards hurried forward to hold the door firmly, and the warehouse door seemed to be closed like a devil, surging outward desperately.

The head guard took out a whistle from his waist, and while blowing it frantically, stood in front of the car.

A few scimitars protruded from the crack of the warehouse door and under the door, slashing and pulling.

The hands and feet of several guards turned red immediately, but they still carried it with their bodies.A guard also drew a knife and stabbed it back into the crack of the door. The blade pierced into the body, and immediately the ground under the crack of the door was red.

On the street, more than ten guards stepped forward side by side, drawing knives and intercepting the first four "hawkers" who arrived.

These four people were obviously dead soldiers, and they ignored the guards' swords and stabbed them, and used short knives to go straight to the vitals of the two in the middle.

After the sword passed, six people fell on the scene, including four dead men and two guards.

As many as fifty swordsmen also arrived at the intersection and began to attack the guards standing in front of the car.

The warehouse door was also knocked open by the people inside at this time, and the four guards fell limply to the ground, life or death unknown.

More than 30 knife-wielding men rushed out of the warehouse gate.

"Pay attention to the wall!"

A guard looked up, and suddenly the souls of the dead came out, and a whole team of archers climbed up the wall, bending their bows and setting arrows.

The head guard put down his whistle, because there was a sudden burst of drumming in the garden not far away, which completely covered the movement here.

He turned his head sharply and saw that a few hundred feet behind him, a few passers-by were being bluffed into running away.

At the end of the street, a blue color representing the clothes of Marquis Wu who patrols the street appeared faintly, rushing towards this side.

But the next moment, several people walked out from the side of the street.

The head of the guards saw from a distance what these people had shown, and those Marquis Wu stopped in their tracks.

At the intersection leading to Jinli Street outside the palace city of the South Gate, several horse-drawn carriages came from nowhere and crashed into each other.

The horses of the three carriages had been shot dead by the guards immediately, and a large amount of kerosene flowed all over the ground in the three carriages that collided together and overturned.A rocket hit the ground, and several carriages instantly burst into flames, blocking the exit of Jinli Street.

Zhengsun Bu of the Forbidden Gate Team immediately changed his expression, and immediately drew his sword and was about to lead the team through the sea of ​​flames. He already roughly guessed what happened on Jinli Street.

But Jiang Peng, the captain of the Imperial Army who was on duty, said lightly: "The Imperial Army is not allowed to leave their posts without authorization. How do you know that this is not a plan to divert the tiger away from the mountain?"

Sun Bu was still about to speak, but Jiang Peng said coldly: "Those who violate the order will be dealt with by military law, and they will be killed immediately!"

"You~~~, you are so courageous!" Sun Bu's fingers were trembling, and he suddenly yelled at his colleagues and subordinates who usually talked and laughed, and he couldn't guess what happened?
Sun Bu didn't hesitate at all, immediately drew his sword in his hand, and walked five steps away from Jiang Peng.

"Wherever you belong to, come with me and go through the fire!"

Jiang Peng also drew his sword suddenly, but he knew that he was not Sun Bu's opponent, so he ordered everyone not to move lightly.

However, Sun Bu was willing to put all his strength to his subordinates on weekdays. Despite strict orders from his superiors, more than 30 guards rushed into the flames with Sun Bu.

On the imperial streets and alleys, a green cloth bullock cart of an ordinary family is creaking forward.

The driver was a white and tender young man, and an old housekeeper was accompanying the ox cart.

Inside the carriage, the old man's voice sounded.

"Is Hu Zi celebrating the festival at Zhang's house today?"

Sanfu replied: "That's right, news came from over there that the Meng family had people prepare a table of big dishes, and there is also a strange dessert, what kind of moon cake is it called? It is also said that it is a custom of the Zhang family, and it is a must to eat during the Mid-Autumn Festival." something."

There was silence in the carriage for a while, and the old man's sigh resounded: "Everyone's Mid-Autumn Festival is a happy reunion, but our family is not at peace. You just watch, tonight's banquet, I don't know what I said. The sons have prepared a lot of scenes and are waiting."

Sanfu couldn't answer, so he could only ask questions.

"This year it's my turn to hold a banquet in Yuzao Palace, and it's Empress Qian's host. She gets along well with the masters, so she must take some of her face into consideration."

"I don't even give face as a father, how can they save face for Concubine Qian?"

After a while, the old man asked another unrelated question.

"Is there any news from Jiangling? When will Junior Sister return to Beijing?"

"If you go back to the master, you say that you will go back after the Mid-Autumn Festival. If everything goes well, you will arrive at the end of September."

The old man laughed after pondering.

"I'm afraid she would rather stay with Chao'er as a young lady than return to my side. These years, whenever I mentioned the matter of canonization, she would die. She is more stubborn than me!"

Sanfu also laughed: "Madam Shentu has been like this since she was a child, and the master is not used to it."
