Pingyang Fu of the Red Chamber

Chapter 632: Blood splattered inside Yanchun Tower

Inside Yanchun Tower,

As the general asked questions, the noise quieted down.

Although Xue Pan was not afraid, he was not stupid either. The other party was obviously an acquaintance. He puffed up his chest, tugged on his clothes, and walked forward.
Because the left side of my face was swollen and I couldn't speak clearly, I couldn't admit it. A fight was a fight. If you couldn't tell the winner, your skills were inferior to others. You couldn't let go of your skills. He shook his head and replied. road;
"General Mingjian, it's unjust. We came here just to have fun. As soon as we entered the gatehouse courtyard and were negotiating the price with Yanchun Louchun's mother, these people rushed over and attacked us. How can we bear this? What's more? Well, I don’t know anyone from Guanglu Temple, either?”

Although Xue Pan was not as miserable as he said, his hair was messy and disheveled, and his eyes were fine. Unfortunately, the left side of his face was so swollen that he could no longer see his eyes. It looked so miserable.

He Xiaocheng stared at it, and it seemed that he was not telling lies, but the Jia family in Rongguo Mansion and Xungui's old relatives were in trouble.

But when I heard that Rongguo Mansion and Marquis Luo Yun were related by marriage, I thought about the humiliation I had suffered a few days ago. It was time to vent my anger, but I also had to find an excuse and not allow anyone to find a reason. If you have something to say, think about it, and you need to Starting from Yang Ming, Shaoshi Yang’s son, it will be easier to handle if we have someone to sue.
Looking at the miserable state of Master Yang's son, the originally handsome face was now unsightly and the beating was too harsh.
"Yang Ming, Mr. Xue is right. If you have anything else to say or any grievances you have, please speak out boldly."

This is blatant support.

When Yang Ming saw him, he didn't know why the general in front of him was favoring him. His face lit up and he replied with fists in his hands;

"General Mingjian, how dare students provoke people from the Jia family? They are ugly and coquettish, and they are arrogant. The students just talked about the oirans of Yanchun Tower and wanted to see their rules. They never thought that the fat man in charge would speak freely and insult us. , Although the students have no strength to restrain their hands, as a disciple of Qinglian Academy, as a sage, we must not bow our heads and insult the character of our ancestors. If the students are not talented, we will beat them. "

Although Xue Pan was dumbfounded and covered his face, he was not really stupid. It seemed that the person who came was determined to be with that kid. Unfortunately, he did not bring enough people with him, let alone inform others, and the exit was surrounded again. Look, it seems that you have made up your mind.

Without further ado, I asked Vice General Chen to arrest the Xue family master first.
This scene,
Everyone in Yanchun Tower watched and talked in whispers. Princess Yongcheng Zhou Ying looked at all this in disbelief. The civil and military struggle had reached this point. There were actually civil servants in the Forbidden Army.

Even the captain of the guard Feng Fa looked incredulous.

Obviously the Jia family's in-laws, the Xue family, were afraid that they would be in trouble, and Master Yang of Guanglu Temple was hiding very well;

Just after boasting,
He Xiaocheng seemed to have a clue and asked Xue Pan and others sternly,

The rest of the Jia family looked mournful and did not dare to move. Seeing Xue Pan showing off his power alone, He Xiaocheng could not hold back and waved his hand.

All the forbidden soldiers under his command drew their swords and walked over. It seemed that they were serious.

Lieutenant General Chen Shang saw that both parties had revealed their identities. This was going to be difficult. He quickly reminded,

After saying that, he threw out the stool in his hand. Vice General Chen was unexpectedly hit and staggered. There was still the wine, food and soup from the guest at his feet. His foot slipped and he fell to the ground. Xue Pan laughed loudly.

"Catch them,"

"Well said. As expected, he is Lord Yang's beloved son. I will like him for having such character. As the saying goes, there are rules everywhere. Even brothels have their rules. Now that I have told you, why should you be so tough? Breaking in, huh?”

"Look, I have taken refuge in the civil service. I can't even have legs and can't stand firmly."

Shi Tai also didn't believe that this would be the case. If word spread, the civil and military parties would probably fight even more fiercely.
Just after Chen Shang dismounted, he led the imperial army and surrounded him, trying to catch Xue Pan and others, but how could Xue Pan get their wish? Knowing that what he just said had an effect, he shouted again,

Xue Pan's face turned stern, his gangster anger welled up, and he actually cursed;
"A group of prodigal boys, claiming to be disciples of Qinglian Academy, tell me, Enke is about to come, and they come to Yanchun Tower to beat us for the oiran. General, I have no grievances with them, and I have not made any sarcasm. Because I wanted to see the oiran, I was beaten by them. After all, I am a great martial artist, how can I be insulted by these literati? Look at them, and they have guards. Damn, they are the ones who are beaten. "

Only Mrs. Feng didn’t understand. That’s not right. The Forbidden Army shouldn’t be controlled by nobles. How could it be infiltrated by civilian officials?

Zhang Jinyu upstairs enjoyed watching it.

"Look, you are anxious. Are you defecting to the civil servants and trying to claim credit from their masters? Do you know who we are? Brothers are not cowards. Throw it over and let these insiders bribed by the civil servants take a look."

Xue Pan seemed to have had an enlightenment. He followed Yang Ming's example and actually got involved with nobles. Now the civil and military conflicts are fierce. They are adding insult to injury to each other. Undercurrents in the capital are surging. Who knows?

"General, we can't let them talk anymore, spread the word,"

He Xiaocheng's face became even more gloomy and he cursed,
"Mom, you're in trouble."

"Shitai, tell me, when did Master Yang hook up with the Right Guard General of the Forbidden Army, and Wu Xun didn't notice it at all?"

Unexpectedly, idiot Xue actually had his shining moments. His words were reasonable and his scoldings were hearty, but he was really not good at fighting.

"Ningbian, let the brothers prepare. We will see the power of General Youwei. Take out the hand crossbows and give me one."

"Yes, Lord Marquis,"

Ning Bian took out the short crossbow from behind, strung it and handed it over.

"Master Marquis, be careful, they are all armor-breaking crossbows."

Although the hand crossbow is small, it is very powerful. It uses armor-piercing arrows. If the Marquis' hand is crooked and he injures the general of the Imperial Army, there may be unforeseen consequences.

After Zhang Jinyu took over the hand crossbow, he padded it as it was a bit heavy. He aimed the crossbow arrow at the soldier at the front. You are the one with no eyes. You aimed at the opponent's hind legs, trying to get the opponent to stop. Unexpectedly, he just When I touched the trigger, my hand shook.
just hear;
"Whoosh" sound,
The crossbow arrow was fired, and a short arrow, whether intentionally or unintentionally, hit the Forbidden Soldier's neck directly. The soldier shuddered, covered his neck, and his mouth was bleeding. He twitched and then lost his voice.

He Xiaocheng was shocked to see that there was an assassin.

"Who dares to assassinate the Imperial Army!"

Zhang Jinyu, who was sitting upstairs, finished shaking his hand and felt a little confused. Damn, he just touched it and the person was gone. When did the hand crossbow become so powerful?

Guess that kid was unlucky and he was with the wrong person. Seeing the nervous look of the imperial guards below, Zhang Jinyu didn't bother to explain and spoke;

"Oh, look, you missed it. I thought there was a sensible person, but I didn't expect that he turned out to be the same as that kiln sister. What's his name? Yang Ming, that boy's lover. As for that person, he doesn't have a good eye. This prince’s crossbow arrows cannot shoot with long eyes.”

The voice just fell,

The fence on the second floor,
The soldiers and others they brought were pointing crossbows at the people below.

When He Xiaocheng saw that Marquis Luo Yun was there, his eyes bulged and veins jumped on his forehead. His enemies were extremely jealous when they saw him. No wonder the voice sounded so familiar, it was Marquis Luo Yun who was here.

"Who do you think I am? It turns out that Marquis Luo Yun is here. Why, you are not enjoying the blessings at home. Why don't you go to the brothel to have a secret meeting with the brothel sister? If you want to have a private meeting, you will have a private meeting. You are so brave to kill my soldiers. "

Chen Shang got the signal, and the imperial troops outside the door had already rushed over and guarded the stairs. The two sides faced each other there.
It's just that there are more forbidden soldiers, which makes them look a little more imposing.

"Master, we still need to hide for a while. We are all lawless masters. We are afraid that we will take action again."

Feng Fa, the captain of the guard beside Princess Yongcheng, looked at both sides with their weapons drawn, as if they were serious about it, and felt wary. He could not reveal his master's identity, so he had to hide for a while.

"Master, it's better to listen to the captain of the guard and stay away for the time being. Luo Yunhou and Youwei don't get along with the general. As we all know, we are afraid that the two of them will make a move." Shi Tai secretly took out his long knife and whispered.

"Oh, there is something hidden inside. He hasn't returned to the capital for many years, and General Wu Xun is so arrogant and domineering. In the palace."

Zhou Ying wanted to ask how the palace was, but the situation was not right, so she swallowed the words that came to her mouth.

He stood up and followed the two of them back, stopping at the window to watch.

And Zhou Ying also carefully observed the surroundings. Many people were so scared that they hid in the corner and shivered, but there was no hope.

Look at the hall again,
The two sides faced each other,

Although the people of the Forbidden Army had the upper hand, the people of Luo Yunhou were condescending and holding short crossbows. They had no fear at all and were so courageous.

"Tsk, tsk, you can't bite like this. I accidentally shook my hand. Your soldier didn't have eyesight. He hit the arrow shot by me and died. You think it was a coincidence or not."

Zhang Jinyu secretly held the knife, and the words in her mouth were unforgiving. To say sophistry, she has not met an opponent yet, let alone He Xiaocheng.

He Xiaocheng was furious, his eyes suddenly turned red, and he gritted his teeth and cursed;

"You are a treacherous villain who only uses his words to gain advantage. If you don't give me an explanation today, how can I let you pass?"

The Imperial Guards and Horses behind them had long since blocked the entrance to the attic, making it impossible for even a bird to fly out.

Zhang Jinyu looked outside, and there were indeed a lot of people. As the saying goes, a gentleman does not stand behind a dangerous wall. He was careless today. He knocked on the table. Ning Bian understood, and immediately walked to the window, reached out and took out the fireworks flare, and pointed it at The night sky pulled down.

I saw a red firework exploding in the sky above Yanchun Tower, bright and eye-catching.

The captain of the Pioneer Battalion who was on duty at Zuixian Tower immediately took out his whistle and blew it after seeing the fireworks.

The alert men and horses around quickly gathered and rushed towards the Yanchun Tower where the fireworks were shot. Two thousand cavalry rushed in quickly. The sound of horse hooves shook the sky. Even Liu Qianhu, who was searching in Jufang, was alert.

"What happened in the north? How did Marquis Luo Yun's troops go?"

"Sir, I don't know my humble position, but I think something might have happened to the Marquis."

Gu Xuanji was also a little surprised and confused. It was not a peaceful night.

"Leave Bai Baihu here to watch, Gu Xuanji, lead your troops and horses and follow me immediately to see what happened."

"Yes, my lord."

Then,

On Ningrong Street, a group of people from the Imperial City Division followed on horseback.

And the east market,
Since the people from Luo Yunhou and the Imperial City Bureau had evacuated, the people who came later had a much smoother journey. Seeing the city gate opened and people carrying large and small bags of food coming out, many hungry people's eyes turned red. It turned out to be real, and they rushed in. The people who had just left behind them also moved much faster, shouting and yelling on the way.

In fact, these people were pretended to be the people brought there by Liu Zushan. When they reached an intersection, a few people threw away the food and entered the alley. After a few moments, they disappeared.

What they didn't know was that there were more and more people in Dongshi. In the end, not only food, but everything they could see was wiped out with great momentum.

And in Yanchun Tower,

He Xiaocheng didn't notice the actions of Luo Yunhou's men. There were still two thousand troops of Luo Yunhou in the capital, and he only had a patrol team of 200 people from the imperial army. But now he was riding a tiger and it was hard to get off. How could he leave?

In the dilemma, Lieutenant General Chen Shang hurried over and whispered;
"General, Marquis Luo Yun's reinforcements are about to arrive. I'm afraid it will be useless for us to stay here. It is better to retreat in order to advance and leave this place. As for the dead brothers, it is also good to take them back and provide more comfort."

: "That's what I said, but if I leave in embarrassment in front of everyone, won't I become a joke in the capital from now on?"

"What does the general mean? Could it be that we can take advantage of the opportunity to capture Luo Yunhou?"

Lieutenant General Chen Shang looked at Marquis Luo Yun, who was sitting calmly at the fence on the second floor, and his personal followers, only about twenty people. If they charged, it would be about the same, but if they took action now, it would be troublesome. Now that the Supreme Emperor has never summoned his old ministers and generals, His Majesty controls the court. As a result, the general is really in danger.

"General, don't be impulsive. Marquis Luo Yun is so confident that he might have laid out the plan a long time ago. General, think about it, there are many beautiful wives and concubines in the Marquis's mansion, none of them are a hundred times more powerful than the vulgar powder of Zuixian Tower. Don't tell me. How about his wife? The Yang family who was granted marriage in the palace is quite famous in the harem.

Even though the oiran is stunningly beautiful, since Marquis Luo Yun has not gone upstairs, he must not be in the mood to see them, so why not find an excuse and take a step back."

"what do you mean?"

He Xiaocheng thought about it and it was right. When he was on duty with the Forbidden Army, he crossed the line. There was always a step down. Deputy General Chen Shang pointed at the people on both sides.
"The trouble should end it."

"it is good."

Zhang Jinyu, who was upstairs, didn't really try to provoke him. It looked like a night watch team, at least more than 200 people. They really rushed up to him, but it was enough for him. He didn't read the almanac when he went out. Every time he came to the brothel, There are no good things to say, and I have never touched a woman. What kind of brothel are you going to?

"Marquis Luo Yun is really majestic. Your Highness, look at him. With just a few people, he dares to fight against the Imperial Army."

In the private room on the top floor, Wei Shuyun whispered beside Princess Yueru. Looking at Marquis Luo Yun below, she felt a little worried.

The eldest princess Zhou Xiangxue chuckled lightly, but her understanding was different and she saw another side.
"Both sides are just bluffing. Neither of them wants to make the matter bigger. However, Marquis Luo Yun is really brave and dares to take action. Those people in the Forbidden Army are just showing off. He Xiaocheng is more than conservative but not enterprising enough. He is a mediocre person."

The eldest princess unceremoniously belittled General Youwei. In the early years, it was because he led the army to pursue Yuan Kui that he could not escape and died tragically at the gate of Dongcheng. I really wanted to kill him.

downstairs hall,

Both sides were silent, and the people around them were even more afraid to speak out.

The two princesses each hid in the dark and stared,

He Xiaocheng suddenly turned his head and scolded;

"Mr. Yang, don't you have anything to say?"
