Marry Donggong

Chapter 10
The hairpin pierced the neck, and bright red blood slowly seeped out.

The follower was in pain. Shen Ce quickly walked over and hit his chin with the hilt of his sword.

The silver whistle in his mouth was mixed with blood, and he said in a sinister tone: "Who are you, how dare you sneak attack me?"

Shen Yi's eyes were as cold as snow: "It doesn't matter who we are, what matters is what are you doing here?"

The attendant's eyes were cold and he snorted: "Don't expect to get any news from me. Kill or behead him, it's up to you!"

"He is a loyal person who is not afraid of death." Shen Yi's eyes flashed with a clear light, "Brother, the poison elixir I gave you just now came in handy."

"This poison elixir is extremely toxic. It will corrode the internal organs after being taken, but it is not enough to cause death. Every time it attacks, it is painful. Since he is loyal to the Lord and is not afraid of death, then he can try this method of causing people to penetrate the intestines. Poison that rots your belly.”

Shen Ce met Shen Yi's crystal clear eyes and instantly understood her intention.

He withdrew his sword, pretended to look for poison elixir on his body, and said, "This is very good."

The attendant's face was extremely embarrassed, his eyes were fixed on Shen Ce's movements, his lips were moving continuously, and there was no sign of majesty at all.

He took a deep breath and said with difficulty: "We are soldiers under General Xiahou. We have been ordered by the general to guard the pass. We can only leave Luncheng but not enter."

Shen Ce's handsome face was obscure.

Who is General Xiahou?

Three generations of his ancestors were all soldiers, brave and good at fighting, and made great contributions to the defense of Beixiang.

Seven years ago, the enemy Turks raided the border of Beixiang State. General Xiahou led his troops to fight with great speed. He defeated the Turks steadily and won a complete victory.

Emperor He Yuan was very happy and thought highly of General Xiahou. He was specially given the honor of being able to carry swords and shoes to the palace and enter the court without hesitation.

General Xiahou was always very happy with his achievements. He did not ask in the court to come to Luncheng to control the flood. Instead, he sent troops privately to prevent visitors from entering Luncheng.

What does he want?
The rain fell on Shen Yi's dimples and flowed over her translucent and white skin.

Her tone was soft and elegant: "Is General Xiahou going to attack the city protection embankment?"

The follower's eyes were shocked. Hearing the voice of this woman, she must be only in her late teens, yet she has such extraordinary courage.

Moreover, only the soldiers in their camp knew the general's secret order, so how could she guess it?

He closed his eyes and said dejectedly: "That's it. Tonight, General Xiahou will send people to incite the people of Pei County under the city protection embankment to riot, and another eight thousand soldiers will mix into the mob and disrupt the situation."

"In the end, General Xiahou, the county magistrate of Pei County, and the inner ghosts of the Imperial Guards of Shenji Camp worked together to take advantage of the chaos and steal the materials for building the embankment, and then destroyed the embankment, causing flooding, and used this to frame the prince. "

Shen Ce and the guards in the mansion looked angry.

Destroying the city protection embankment will definitely lead to the casualties and displacement of tens of thousands of people. This move is simply unscrupulous and inhumane.

General Xiahou, that's all. How dare a small county magistrate get involved in framing the prince?Isn't he afraid that the prince will settle accounts later and have his house confiscated and beheaded?
Shen Yi's plain hands with white wrists and red muscles clenched the hairpin tightly, and her heart twitched.

Sure enough, Ah Jing was indeed framed in her previous life.

The piles are linked together, as if there are a pair of invisible hands, pushing A Jing step by step into the abyss of eternal destruction.

The Imperial Guards of Shenji Camp were given to A Jing by Emperor He Yuan after he became the crown prince.Ah Jing was still young at that time, so how could he guard against the spies being inserted by the imperial guards?
Was it the ambitious fourth prince Xiao Chuheng, the secretive eighth prince Xiao Shi'an, or General Xiahou who was behind the frame-up of A Jing?
Her voice couldn't help but become colder: "Who did General Xiahou collude with to frame the prince?"

The attendant slowly opened his eyes and said in a hoarse voice, "I don't know."

Shen Ce couldn't suppress the anger in his heart and hit his chest hard with the hilt of the sword.

He said in a calm voice: "Be honest."

The attendant turned pale in pain, bent over, and said in embarrassment, "I really don't know."

Shen Cejun's face became even more angry. He drew his sword and said sternly: "If you hide anything, today next year will be your death anniversary!"

Shen Yi stepped forward, grabbed Shen Ce's arm, and said softly: "Brother, there is no need to fight with him anymore. The top priority is that we must inform the prince before General Xiahou's soldiers destroy the embankment."

She glanced at the attendant lightly, with a superficial meaning in her eyes: "Just knock him out."

The entourage finally saw Shen Yi's face clearly. The water in his eyes was like waves, the mountains were like eyebrows, and his whole body was filled with grace and grace.

He secretly gritted his back teeth. This was obviously a noble girl raised in a boudoir. She was not in the boudoir doing embroidery, cooking tea, playing the piano and burning incense, but she showed up to undermine the general's good deeds.

What made him hate the most was that this woman had a pretty face, but she had a heart of snake and scorpion!
Shen Ce had always doted on his only biological sister, so he always followed Shen Yi's advice.

"Okay." He retracted his sword and reached out to slash at the back of the follower's head.

The follower screamed, then his eyes darkened and fell to the ground.

Shen Ce turned around and said to Shen Yi in a serious tone: "Yi Niang, General Xiahou has 8000 soldiers, and there are countless officials under the county magistrate. They disguise themselves as a mob and want to harm the prince."

"There are only 2000 guardsmen in Shenji Camp. The workers building the embankment will definitely flee when they see the riot. The prince's situation is really dangerous."

Shen Yi's eyes were cool and his voice was calm: "Brother, a few days ago I ordered Huazhi to send people to prepare thousands of stones of food in Luncheng, guarded by three thousand guards. They can be dispatched to support the prince."

Shen Ce looked slightly stunned, staring at Shen Yi who was calm and composed, as if he had expected that these three thousand guards would come in handy.

The flood situation in Luncheng was not fierce a few days ago, so why did Yiniang stock up on food in advance?Besides, to guard the food, why do we need three thousand guards?

But now is not a good time to ask.

He came back to his senses and nodded: "Without further delay, we will set off immediately."

……

As night fell, the rain continued unabated.

The wind is like an angry mountain, and the rain is like a river.Under the city protection embankment is Peijun, with tens of thousands of households. They are destined to have no sleep that night.

They have lived here for generations, with men farming and women weaving. Although their lives are not rich, they are plain and beautiful.

This once-in-a-hundred-year rainstorm seemed to destroy them completely.

Taking advantage of the darkness, a group of men in black menacingly broke into people's homes.

"The Crown Prince has issued an order. The water on the city's embankment is in critical condition and is about to burst. All men over 15 years old and under 40 years old are sent to reinforce the embankment. Anyone who violates this rule will be killed without mercy!"

After saying that, they turned everyone upside down in the house, plundered all the food, and then took away the young and strong men.

Anyone who resisted would be beaten severely, or stabbed alive with a sword.

For a time, a shrill and hesitant cry filled the rainy night.

Afterwards, the people of Pei County learned the news and rushed to tell each other. They fled from their homes one after another, and they were panic-stricken.

The men in black were in hot pursuit, and the fleeing people were filled with grief and almost despair.

The resentment in their hearts was rising. The prince's tyranny, for his own merits, clearly did not regard the common people as human beings!

Suddenly, a man shouted in the fleeing crowd: "Fellow fellow villagers, the embankment protecting the city is about to burst. The prince is forcing us to build the embankment. He is undoubtedly forcing us to die."

"Those who don't follow will be beaten to death by them. We will die anyway, so why don't we fight to the death?"

Everyone's eyes turned red when they heard this.

The resentment in their hearts was burning endlessly like a raging fire, and they said in unison: "The tyranny of the prince has forced us to a dead end. Let us fight to the death!"

The man who spoke looked at the indignant crowd with a strange smile on his lips.

This step is done to trigger a riot among the people of Pei County. The next step is to take advantage of the chaos and destroy the city embankment.

The embankment of the city is decorated with lanterns wrapped in oil to cover the rain.The glowing lights swayed in the wind and rain.

The Imperial Guards of the Shenji Battalion and the Luncheng soldiers braved the rain to reinforce the embankment and repair the breaches. Everything was going on in an orderly manner.

Xiao Jing stood by the embankment, her eyes were solemn and cold, as clear as a god.

He was very tall, with straight shoulders. His long black clothes were soaked by the rain, and the muscle veins on his chest were clearly visible.

It was clear that his face was still ascetic and stern, but there was an overwhelming hormone for no reason.

"Report to your Royal Highness, the people of Pei County suddenly rioted and surged towards the city protection embankment." A guard said with blood all over his body, holding on for a breath.

After saying this, he died.

The Imperial Guards of Shenji Camp looked at each other with stern eyes. How could there be a riot in such a good situation?
Could it be a conspiracy of some prince in the palace?

Before they could think about it, a sound like thousands of troops galloping came from not far away.

Xiao Jing's eyebrows were stern, and the sword in her hand was unsheathed.

The Imperial Guards also drew their swords and prepared to attack the enemy.

"Shhhhh-"

Arrows all over the sky were shot at Xiao Jing and the others. The Imperial Guards in front were unexpectedly hit by arrows in their chest, arms, and even their heads.

The laborers who were building the embankment were so frightened that they pissed themselves and scattered like birds and beasts.

Ye Yi and Ye Er stood in front of Xiao Jing and said urgently: "Your Highness, this group of people has well-trained archery training. They are not a mob at all. Someone is coming for you."

"I will escort you out with a lowly rank."

Xiao Jing's Danfeng eyes revealed a sinister blood shadow, and his voice had no warmth at all: "Get out of the way."

Ye Yi and Ye Er looked at each other, gritted their teeth, and had no choice but to get out of the way.

Xiao Jing swung her long sword, and the arrows whirled and stabbed towards the "mob" who fired the arrows.

The "mob"'s eyes widened and they looked at the arrows above their heads in disbelief. Hot blood flowed out and they fell to the ground dead.

The companion beside him trembled and was frightened by Xiao Jing's aura.

When Ye Yi and Ye Er saw this, they laughed loudly: "You so-called mob, how dare you act so arrogantly in front of His Highness, you are going to die!"

Xiao Jing led the imperial guards forward step by step. His eyes were solemn and his archery skills were superb.

Round after round of arrows struck, and the "mob" killed and wounded more people than the Praetorian Guards.

The "mob" had run out of arrows, and they lowered their longbows viciously.I didn't expect that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would be so skilled.

They put on their scimitars and started killing Xiao Jing and others: "Charge——"

Bang, bang, bang, the swords of the Imperial Guards met with the scimitars of the "mob", making a harsh sound in the rainy night.

Pillars of blood splashed and stained the ground red.

"Ah Jing!" A clear voice came from the sky, floating through countless rain curtains to Xiao Jing's ears.

Xiao Jing's heart trembled, and the red phoenix eyes lit up with hot and intense fireworks.

He followed the voice.
