A Collection of Old Sayings by Fourth Sister You

Chapter 88 Forbidden Court (88)
It rains and is promiscuous, and it is sad and thoughtful; the river is deep and deep, and it cannot be communicated; the sunrise is careful, and the heart has the will to die. (3)
The more times you do it, the more often you don't take it seriously.General Yuan Shuzu saw that the time was right, and reported to the court today for judgment.With today's approval, the firearms surrounding the city were all ready. General Yuan stood high in front of the camp gate and gave an order to cut off the restraining ropes from all sides at the same time. I saw fireballs flying across the sky with an astonishing sound. A dense net formed above the city, falling rapidly at an unbelievable speed, and wherever it went, flames blazed into the sky.

The panic and cries of the people in the city came along with the wind. Imam watched from the sidelines, watching the crashed vehicle carrying a ramming log more than ten feet thick and attacking the city gate. The wooden head wrapped in iron leaves hit the city gate fiercely. The panic of the Sui army on the wall.

He looked up and saw the fireball rustling like a shooting star.The burning flame is like a thin and stubborn banner, waving in the wind with great momentum.

Should be able to break the city tonight, devastating, but it was a last resort.He wants to capture Emperor Jian's mother and son. With them in his hands, the queen will definitely come if she has a goal.As for the people in the city, they can't take care of them now. It might be their fate to be destroyed together with the city!

Lu Jing held his sword to protect him, and asked: "After conquering Sui Palace, will the officials go there?"

He stood quietly, with the flames hanging between his brows, his deep eyes were as deep as the sea, and he responded in a gentle voice: "Emperor Jian's mother and son were captured and imprisoned in the palace. Cui Zhuzhang will definitely rescue them at the Queen's request. Going to meet him."

Lu Jing was a little worried, "The safety of the officials is the most important thing, just a mere Cui Zhuyu, let Ban Zhi deal with it."

The hands under the wide sleeves were tightly clenched. For him, the queen's being taken away was a great shame, even more difficult for him to accept than the ceding of the city.Cui Zhuyu challenged the emperor's bottom line, so he should be prepared to pay the price.If the empress is willing to go with someone else because she resisted the empress dowager, that's another matter, but it's a big mistake if that person is Cui Zhuzi.The queen hated him for killing Miao Chunwo and she killed him. How scared would she be if she saw him come back from the dead?He couldn't even imagine if Cui Zhuzhen would do anything when the two of them got along with each other with their skins torn apart.So find her quickly, let her come back to him, and she won't have to be afraid anymore.

In war, people are as insignificant as ants.

The thunderbolt hit the ground and exploded with a bang, shaking the ground.The layer of rammed earth above his head could not withstand the impact, and broken earth rustled down.The torch was shining on the dark corridor, and the ground was trembling under her feet. She followed behind him in fear, "Will the secret passage collapse?"

Cui Zhuzhen looked back at her, with a smile on his lips, "It seems that life is different, bed and death are the same acupuncture points, so it seems not bad."

She glanced at him with a frown, not thinking it was funny.If you want to have the same acupuncture point, it depends on whether she is willing or not.She is rushing into the city now with all her heart, and it was such a coincidence that they arrived at Chaohu Temple and wandered outside for a long time before they found this secret passage.After the city was sealed off, no one seemed to have used it.The entrance of the cave was covered with messy withered grass, and after about half a mile of walking, there was a violent vibration above the head, thinking that the Yue army had begun to attack the city.

She said: "If they knew they couldn't hold on, would they run away from this secret passage?"

Cui Zhuyu snorted, "It depends on whether Emperor Jian is bloody or not. If he lives and dies with Sui Guo, he probably won't run away. If he just wants to survive, maybe he will meet you head-on after waiting here for half an hour."

She was hanging in her heart, if it really happened, there would be no hope of returning to the city.She Chi asked Cui Zhuzhang, "Sir, do you want to wait here?"

He didn't stop, holding a torch in one hand, and protecting her with the other, "Wangxian Bridge is at the foot of Fengshan Mountain, and it needs to pass through three provinces and six departments. If Emperor Jian wants to escape, he may have to go through the hurdles of the elders first. The little emperor is young." , not as weak as the crown, in fact, those officials don't take him seriously. Now the Sui army is fighting desperately, but he is the emperor, but he is oiled on the soles of his feet. No one can agree. So don't worry, if the imperial city is here, he will be there. The imperial city has fallen, and he will be caught in the urn at worst." After a pause, "We need to hurry up, if we really meet someone on the way and recognize you at a glance, then we will be in trouble."

That's right, in times of wild and chaotic times, if you catch it, it's a life-saving straw, and a dead horse is a living horse doctor.Regardless of whether she is the former queen of the Yue Kingdom, or she bears the title of the eldest princess of the Sui Kingdom, if someone with ulterior motives encounters them in this secret passage, she really can't handle it for a while.

She pushed him hastily, "Then hurry up!" Her feet tightened even more, but the pain in her lower abdomen suddenly made her unable to take a step.

He noticed it and hurriedly supported her, "What's wrong? Does your stomach hurt?"

Her face turned pale, her fingers tightly grasped his sleeve, "Sir..."

There was a thunder in his mind, could it be that something is wrong with the child?Although he didn't want to keep him, it would be a bad thing if it happened here.He looked forward in a panic, but he couldn't see the beginning and the end, there was a faint sound of water, and the moat above his head should be breaking down now.He stuck the torch on the mud wall, stretched his hands over her armpits, and tried to lift her up.

Sweat dripped from her forehead, she felt colic in her stomach, and she cried out in fear, "What to do...what to do with the child..."

In these turbulent years, a person needs ten lives to survive.He was worried that the child's illness would endanger her, and there was no way out here, and he had to go to the city as soon as possible.He knelt down and turned his back to her, "Come up, I'll carry you on my back."

At this time, she didn't care so much anymore, she put her heart on his back, and he carried her, took off the torch and continued walking.As she walked, she comforted her, "Don't be afraid, I'll figure out a solution when I get outside. Don't be afraid..."

She bit her lip and wept, and the tears fell into his collar, coldly.She said, "Sir, I can't keep the child, and I don't want to live anymore."

His heart trembled, "No, I will definitely find a doctor for you when you settle down."

She sobbed softly, the small voice in his ears.He was worried about it, and kept asking her if it hurt. She said it hurt at first, but then it seemed to be relieved, and she only said that it was much better.

After leaving the big ax for a stick of incense, he looked up, not too far from the exit, and he could already see the light outside.He threw the torch on the ground and stomped it out, groping for the entrance of the cave.If he hadn't carried her behind his back, he should have gone out to find out the situation first, but he can't care about it now.With great difficulty, he climbed out of the cave with all his strength, but met several spears head-on, and the cold and hard tips of the spears reached his throat.It was the Sui army who was ordered to guard, in order to prevent Emperor Jian from escaping.As a result, before Emperor Jian came, he caught two people of unknown origin from another direction.

"It's a spy, kill him." Those frightened birds couldn't stand the slightest fright, and immediately responded to any changes. The spears were raised high, and they were about to fall down in an instant.

Cui Zhuzhen was also taken aback, and wanted to draw his sword to deal with it, but he heard her cry in a low voice, "I am Princess Cheng."

The spears came to a standstill, and the leaders looked at her face with the help of the firelight. Although she was wearing a coarse short jacket, her eyebrows and eyes, which were as clear as mountain springs, were clearly different from ordinary people.

"It's really the eldest princess?" Still not very trusting, "Don't be a spy and want to sneak into the city!"

She looked up at Nadu with difficulty, "Have you ever seen a spy like me?"

He is beautiful and half-dead, so he really doesn't look like a spy.This Jian'an city is almost unstoppable, how can there be such superfluous spies!

More and more Sui troops surrounded them.She signaled Cui Zhuyan to put her down without looking at his face.She has been thinking all the way, she was afraid that she would become a tool to coerce the officials, but after thinking about it, at least there is some benefit, being with Queen Mother Guo and the others, meeting the officials is much easier than following Cui Zhuzhang.I'm sorry for him, but in the end, he turned his back and did not go to join the Yue army, but took advantage of the opportunity to take advantage of the Sui army.Now the arrow is on the line, as for the things that worry about, it's up to her to deal with it by herself!

As for Cui Zhuzhang, she didn't expect that she would make such a sudden decision.He looked at her in astonishment. He, the teacher, missed a move, and she tricked him into it.It seems too late to make any further calculations now, he doesn't have the ability to compete with the Sui army all over the city for the time being.

The news of Princess Cheng's return to the city quickly reached Sun Ying's ears. After hearing the news, Sun Ying came and saw Cui Zhutiao, and immediately got [-]% or [-]% of the money.Cui Zhuyu had a lot of friends, and he was considered a well-known literati in Jian'an City back then.It is well known that he worked as a teacher in the Li family's mansion. Later, the little lady of the Li family became a concubine princess, and he followed the princess into the axe. Now, the one who appeared with him must be the eldest princess.

The city was full of flames, and there were ruins and people running and shouting everywhere.A fireball aimed at them and rushed towards them, Cui Zhuyu didn't have time to think about it, and quickly protected her in his arms.Fortunately, he passed by without being hurt.

Everyone was still in shock, Sun Ying hastily raised his hands, "I have never had the honor to meet the eldest princess, dare to ask Mr. Cui, can you be sure?"

He smiled wryly, what if he didn't admit it?Could it be that she pretended to be the royal family?He nodded, "Yes, this is Princess Cheng."

Sun Ying saluted in surprise, "I don't know that the eldest princess is here, and the eldest princess is frightened, and I will die." As he spoke, he looked up at her and saw that delicate face with a look of sorrow, then leaned over and said, "The city is in turmoil right now. , the eldest princess has no place to settle when she returns to Beijing, so I ordered people to escort the eldest princess into the palace, and make a decision after seeing the mother.”

Sui Jun came to guide her, her waist was so sore, she knew that something was wrong, she turned her head to look at Cui Zhuzi.There was a look of disappointment in his eyes, and he didn't know how to turn around at this moment. If she was really brought into Sui Palace, it would be difficult to see her next time.If the city is not broken, it will be heavily guarded by the Sui army. If the city is broken, the Yue army will take over.Her identity is closely related to the two countries, no matter who owns it, she has nothing to do with him.

He grabbed her wrist, "I will not be separated from the eldest princess."

Sun Ying was a little surprised, "Mr. Cui, what's the reason?"

He simply hugged her horizontally, "The eldest princess needs to seek medical treatment from the imperial physician, and ask General Sun to order someone to lead the way."

She struggled to break free from his restraint, "Don't bother me, sir, I'll just go find my mother." She was eager to get away from him, so naturally she couldn't let him enter the inner city together, and said to Sun Ying, "Mr. Cui is very wise, General Sun You can invite Mr. Cui to be your military adviser, and please advise us to fight against the Yue army." After speaking, without looking back, he followed the Sui army to Jiahemen with his belly tucked in.

She made this decision, not knowing whether it was right or wrong.I am concerned about the relatives I can't let go of, and I don't know what kind of thoughts I will have when I see her.Now she can only rely on herself, and what worries her is her child. The sudden pain may not be a good sign. She must find a place to settle down as soon as possible, otherwise the child will be lost.

She walked forward step by step with difficulty, entered Jiahemen and Shangfengshan, and had to walk a long imperial road to enter the palace.Gritting his teeth and moving forward, a layer of cold sweat appeared on his back.Although it has already begun to spring, the weather has not turned warmer, and it is still no different from the cold winter months.Facing the cold air at night, my jacket almost froze.Finally, I saw Li's main entrance, which stood majestically, still in its original appearance.As if the artillery fire in the city had nothing to do with the Sui Palace, it was still magnificent.

The servants in the palace stepped forward to greet them, and were shocked when they heard the whole story, and hurriedly bowed their waists to lead the palace, and said as they walked: "The official family and the queen mother are in the Qianhe hall, please go with the villain."

After all, it was a war, and everyone was panicking.The Yue army attacked extremely fiercely, and there was another burst of fireballs covering the sky. She turned around and looked down the mountain. The houses in the city were completely destroyed, and the blazing fire illuminated half of the sky.

Her heart was sore, and she couldn't help crying when she saw her hometown in dire straits.Seeing her like this, the servant sighed sadly: "It's useless, the end is coming..."

It's like a terrible dream, but I can't wake up no matter what.Those earth-shattering cries and terrified screams were not something she could save.She can only turn a deaf ear, and the only ones who can help are her mother and younger brother.

The Hall of Qianhe is to the south of the Rouge Corridor, where the Sui Emperor listened to politics.However, there is no government affairs to listen to now. Half a month ago, the imperial capital was basically paralyzed, and everyone in the inner city was waiting, waiting for the last moment to come.

I was always on tenterhooks, but when I really heard the sound of gunfire, I was relieved.Jiandi Gao Fei stood in front of the hall, with a beam crown and black lapel, and a scarlet robe with a gold belt.This attire has not changed since seven days ago, so the fate of the subjugated king is self-evident.Although he is still young, when it is time to end, it must end with dignity.

He was the only surviving prince of Emperor Chong. He ascended to the throne and commanded all directions, enjoyed a year of glory and prosperity, and began to decline and die.There are soldiers guarding outside Sui Palace, protecting him is the second priority, and when the national calamity strikes, supervising his coexistence with Jian'an is the first priority.Those who belonged to the late emperor were only responsible for the late emperor's country, not him.So he's pathetic, he's nailed here and doesn't even have a chance to be a coward.
