Destroyed outside, gold and jade inside

Chapter 278 Raid
"Yu Miao, I told you a long time ago... man, it's useless to say... Only by doing it can people be convinced." Yu Tai's voice was stiff and hoarse, with a forceful tone, his voice was low, and even a little further away , I couldn't hear what he was talking about, but his words, like thunder, rolled past his heart.

"I see." Yu Miao nodded and wanted to get up.

However, Yu Tai moved his fingers, and with the two fingers that could only move, he pinched Yu Miao's clothes weakly, "Miao... I am your brother, and you are the only person I can trust and rely on... ..."

Yu Miao raised her head when she heard the words, but saw two lines of tears falling powerlessly from Yu Tai's eyes.

He couldn't help being shocked, and wanted to raise his hand to wipe away the tears on his brother's face, but his arm was very stiff, as if it was difficult to lift it.This is the elder brother who laughed and galloped across the battlefield when he was young, telling him that a man bleeds but doesn't shed tears?This is the elder brother who can ask the doctor to bandage him no matter how serious the injury is, with a look of disapproval?

"Miao, brother's life... is in your hands." Yu Tai struggled again.

After finishing speaking, he closed his eyes and let out a long breath, as if the previous anger and so many words just now had exhausted all his energy and made him extremely exhausted.

Yu Miao slowly stood up straight and looked at her elder brother who was sitting on the chair. There were no wrinkles on his face, his eyes were closed, and his complexion was pale.Even though his appearance seems to have returned to the appearance of 20 years ago, there is nothing left of his true spirit.The once magnanimous, once high-spirited, are gone.

Is it because of illness?Because of Princess Qi's cruelty?Or is it because of a different mentality, a change of mood?

The servant pushed Yu Tai's chair with wheels and walked back slowly.

Yu Miao stood there silently, quietly watching her brother leave, feeling very depressed for a moment.He didn't want to see his elder brother who was once an iron-blooded man become half-dead, and he didn't want to go against his conscience and do things he didn't care about.

Yu Tai, the boy, and the butler were all out of sight in the distance. There was only the cold wind around him, and occasionally a desolate bird song, shivering alone.

He stepped out of his brother's yard. There were earth dragons in the corridor, which was still warm, but there was a gust of cold wind outside, which made people shrink their necks uncontrollably.Suddenly, Yu Miao felt a chill on her face and raised her head. At some time, snowflakes fell from the sky, and the white snow flakes fell one by one.

He twitched the corners of his mouth, and strode out of the courtyard that made him dull and depressed.

"General, the master hasn't eaten all day." The servant of the uncle's house bowed beside Yu Miao and said.

Yu Miao raised her head, frowned, and waved for people to back off.Brother was forcing him, and he knew it in his heart.He didn't go to the main courtyard, he just asked his followers to deliver meals to his elder brother's courtyard, and said a few words of concern.

Followers did not reply.

It wasn't until the evening of the next day that the housekeeper came, "General, you are well aware of the master's body. Now it is just holding on, taking good care of it and I don't know how long it will last."

Yu Miao glanced over coldly.The butler kept in mind Uncle Yu Guo's explanation, lowered his head, and did not meet Yu Miao's intimidating gaze, and only said, "Master has not eaten or drank for two whole days, and even a good person can't bear it. Worrying."

"Didn't I ask someone to visit my brother?" Yu Miao said in a muffled voice, "Isn't there a solution in a while? You are an old man who serves by your brother's side. At this time, you should persuade your brother more. "

The housekeeper nodded again and again, "The general is right, but the general understands the master's temperament better than the villain, if he can persuade... Sigh."

Yu Miao clenched her fist.

The housekeeper sighed, "Master called the younger one, so let the younger one tell the truth."

When Yu Miao heard this, she looked up at the housekeeper. The housekeeper licked his dry lips, and said with difficulty: "Master said, he is old, sick, and useless. Now even brothers regard him as a drag. He doesn't even have the strength to kill himself with a knife. If he had, he would never let the general down and drag him down. Now that the general has no way to save him and help him, he won't eat or drink until he starves to death. He will never be dragged down again. General, tell the general that if you want to go back to the northwest, just go back and do whatever you want, don’t worry about him.”

When Yu Miao heard this, she slapped on the table in front of her.The solid wood table case cracked at the sound, and the butler's legs softened and he almost knelt down. Thinking that he was just repeating Uncle Guo's words, he held back, "Uncle Guo's explanation, the villain has finished speaking, and I will leave."

Yu Miao's face was cold and she didn't speak. The housekeeper stepped back cautiously.He took a deep breath and called the housekeeper, "Tell brother, tell him to take good care of him, within three days, three days! I will bring back Princess Qi to save him."

The butler was taken aback when he heard the words, then raised his head and stared at Yu Miao. The general doesn't seem like someone who can say wild words and make promises casually?

"Go." Yu Miao said coldly again.

The butler hurriedly quit, until he left the general's yard, his heart was still beating non-stop, three days?Is this true?

That night, Yu Miao left the Uncle Guo's Mansion and went to the place where six thousand elite troops were stationed outside the city.The six thousand fine horsemen he brought back from the frontier and what he said to the little emperor were just excuses. He knew that when he came back, someone would not want him to go back to the Northwest camp, saying that he was greedy for power. It is also good to say that he is reluctant to part with the high land and wide land in the northwest.He wanted to go back to the northwest, and these six thousand elite riders were the escape route he left for himself.

But now he has to use this last retreat first.

He assigned the tasks in detail, leaving two thousand fine cavalry to guard the camp, and practiced in turn, pretending that they were still in the camp.The other 4000 people pretended to be ordinary people in batches, mixed into the capital, and hid separately.The first batch of people who sneaked into the city were scattered around the Qi Palace, in order to observe and find out the situation of the Qi Palace.

Worried that 4000 people would be noticed if they entered the city in one day, he dispersed all of them into two days, and spread them throughout the whole day, from the moment the city gate was just opened until sunset.

For two full days, four thousand elites quietly mixed into the capital.

During the daytime of the third day, King Qi was at the court.Suddenly, a large number of people silently surrounded Qi Wangfu.He is dressed in ordinary clothes and has an ordinary appearance, but his hands are very vigorous and powerful.

There are no more than a thousand guards in the Qi Palace, and they have lived in the capital for a long time. They have been stationed in the frontier with the Northwest for a long time, and the battles with the Turkic people on weekdays are almost as ordinary as the usual drills. The elite division is still a big difference. Cut off the strength.

When the dense rain of arrows came through the sky, the people in Prince Qi's Mansion felt bad.

Shen Xinniang was studying, her eyelids twitched suddenly, and suddenly heard something strange in the courtyard, she felt bad.When she got up to go out, the elite of the palace immediately rushed to the main courtyard and stationed inside and outside the main courtyard.

"You dare to raid the palace in the clear sky, are you impatient?" Jin Xiang yelled, and rushed out, and was forced back by the dense arrow rain after a while, with an unbelievable look on her face , "If you really are impatient to live, these people are so cruel!"

Upon hearing this, Dan Xin turned pale with fright, "What's going on? Why don't you send someone to the palace to inform the prince?"

Jin Xiang shook her head and looked at Shen Xinniang, "My lady's palace is surrounded, and all the exits are blocked. I don't know how many people are on the other side, but they are well-trained and strong in martial arts, my lady..."

Shen Xinniang nodded slightly when she heard the words, "Is there a way to go to the palace?"

Jin Xiang shook her head, "When there was a change, they had tried to break out of the siege and sent a letter to the palace, but..." She shook her head again and again, indicating the result.

"Who is so courageous? In broad daylight..." Dan Xin panicked.

Jin Xiang shook her head, "I can't tell, they are all dressed by ordinary people, but their hands are extraordinary."

Speaking and screaming sounded in the main courtyard.

Jin Xiang immediately clenched the long sword in her hand, held it in front of her body, and glanced at Shen Xinniang again, "Miss, no matter what, you have to take care of yourself!" After she finished speaking, she strode forward, opened the curtain and stood at the door, swearing to die to protect the front door .

Dan Xin's face was pale and bloodless, and she stared at Shen Xinniang, "My lady, can there be... can there be a way?"

Shen Xinniang lowered her eyes and tried her best to concentrate. She wanted to gather the energy in her body, but the energy she gathered was very weak. It seemed that after she was pregnant, the life conceived in her belly accumulated too much energy. She focused on thinking Draw strength from the Yin Yang Tai Chi diagram on the palm of your left hand.But when that power is transported to the lower abdomen, it will be absorbed by the life in the abdomen, and there is almost nothing left.

"My lady..." Seeing Shen Xinniang's complexion getting worse and worse, Dan Xin exclaimed nervously.

Shen Xinniang was discouraged and shook her head, "Dan Xin, if there is danger later, don't be stupid."

"What did the lady say?" Dan Xin shook her head quickly.

"They raided the palace while the prince was away. The target must be me. If so, they won't kill me. Don't stand in front of me. Don't be stupid. I will be fine..." Shen Xinniang said slowly.

"No, I don't, my lady! The servant girl will never leave my lady! Never!" Dan Xin stepped forward and knelt in front of Shen Xinniang, tightly clutching Shen Xinniang's sleeves, looking up at her with tears in her eyes.

Shen Xinniang sighed softly, and threw out the mahogany sword with all her strength, holding it in front of her, she could only fight with her best.

The sound of fighting outside is getting closer.

But Dan Xin got up suddenly, "Madam hides, maidservant wears maidservant's clothes, if they don't recognize Madam, she can still get out of danger! Hurry up! Madam, come and change clothes with maidservant!"

Shen Xinniang was taken aback when she heard the words, and raised her hand to push Dan Xin away from her hand, "My life is my life, so is yours?"

Dan Xin hurriedly shook her head, "Lady, what are you hesitating for? Time is running out, hurry up! How can the life of a servant girl compare with that of a lady? What's more, is the lady's life alone now?"

Shen Xinniang raised her hand to support her lower abdomen, but shook her head firmly for a moment, "Don't say they want to capture me alive, they won't take my life easily, even if they want me to die immediately, I will never let others die for me. "

"My lady, what nonsense are you talking about!" Dan was about to cry impatiently, and went to pick up Shen Xinniang's clothes, but Shen Xinniang pushed her hand away again and again.Tears flowed wantonly on her face, and she begged even more, "Lady, the servant girl is willing. If there is no lady, the maidservant still doesn't know that she is being bullied and looked down upon in that corner of Feng's family. Follow along." The past few years, my lady, have been better than my maidservant's previous life, and my maidservant is already satisfied! Meeting my lady is the best thing that my maidservant has ever met in this life. Now if I can do this for my lady, it will be all right The maidservant's loyalty! The lady will fulfill the maidservant!"

As he said that, he wanted to come up to grab Shen Xinniang's clothes again.
