Chapter 47: Six Tribulations of Floating Life (5)

The four cities of Yingtian are gradually rising, and the imperial city is in chaos. Eunuchs, palace maids, and even the Han generals of the Jinyiwei are all running around like headless flies. When the city is broken, everyone is only determined to escape, so where is there any loyalty to the emperor and the country?

There were dark shadows in the corridor outside the west gate of the imperial city. Eunuch Xu and Ma Sanbao were ambushed in the Xiying Gate with their men. Ma Sanbao asked anxiously: "Eunuch Xu, are you talking so truly?"

Eunuch Xu said: "It's true. In the afternoon, Marquis of Wuding came to the palace and asked the second son of the King of Liao to take home for two days to play. The emperor didn't care about this, so he asked him to ask Concubine Han. Concubine Han was also a person with no idea and immediately agreed.

Just now, we saw people in Han Concubine Han’s palace packing things.”

As the two were talking, a little eunuch ran over: "Dad father-in-law, there are a group of people coming out of Han's palace, with ten guards guarding him."

Ma Sanbao waved his hand and said, "Ambushes." Dozens of people around him scattered into the corners.

After a while, a team of people slowly came, with neatly siding generals in front and behind, and behind the palace maids and eunuchs, and a sedan chair was carried around in the middle.

When they were still two or three hundred steps away from Xiyingmen, they whistled and dozens of warriors with eunuchs appeared on both sides.

A great general led by Che Jia shouted: "Who dares to stop the concubine Feng Luan?!"

A young eunuch walked out of the crowd, which was Ma Sanbao. He laughed dryly: "Yan Army entered the city and was ordered by the emperor. We will come to protect the concubine and move to a safe place."

The Han general said, "We are also in charge of the emperor's orders to protect the concubine from the great palace. Do you have the emperor's will?"

Ma Sanbao said: "We are the emperor's oral order."

"Oral order? That's wrong." The great general sneered twice, and raised a golden token, "This is the token given by the emperor. Get out of here."

Ma Sanbao slowly pulled out his waist knife: "This is a fake token. Come on, take down this group of thieves." The eunuchs around him shouted. Canglang clang out his swords and was about to rush up!

At this moment, a loud shout sounded from the guards: "Who dares to move!" It was like a thunderclap, which shocked the eunuchs present to stop. A tall and stout old man walked out of the crowd.

Ma Sanbao asked back: "Who are you?"

The old man sneered: "Where are you eunuchs? I don't even know your grandfather! I am the guard with a knife in front of the tent of the old emperor, and Guo Ying, the Marquis of Wuding!" As soon as these words came out, a few screams came from the eunuchs.

Guo Ying was called Guo Si by Zhu Yuanzhang, and was the first person to take him to the guard in front of the tent. It is said that he has the courage of thousands of men to be inappropriate.

Ma Sanbao seemed not surprised: "It turned out to be the old marquis. We followed the emperor's oral order to protect Concubine Han, and asked the marquis not to make things difficult for us."

Guo Ying held his waist and looked at the person in the dark like a copper bell: "Oral words? Oral words are empty words. I just asked for the emperor's decree in the afternoon. Whose oral words are you spread?!"

Ma Sanbao ignored all this and smiled grimly: "Guo Ying, how can you, a foreign minister, bring a knife inside?! You must have been a traitor with a bad intention. The person who came..."

"Ha! You yellow-haired boy. Sure enough, I don't know where the wild breed came from. You don't even know. In the second year of Hongwu, the late emperor gave me two swords, allowing me to walk in the Four Great Masters. These two swords have not been eaten for more than ten years.

Today, don’t force me to start a murderous crime with the eunuch!” Guo Ying was majestic and shouted again.

The eunuch group seemed to be told the truth, and some people took two steps back. Ma Sanbao screamed: "Don't listen to his nonsense, the king's elite soldiers have entered the city.

Go ahead, capture the concubine and Zhu Guixie and reward 10,000 taels of gold!" As he said that, he drew his sword and rushed over. These eunuchs were all desperate people who fought in front of the tent with Zhu Di Jingnan. At this time, seeing Ma Sanbao take the lead, they naturally fought for the first place and stood up to kill the generals.

Guo Ying grinned: "The eunuch, if you have a way in heaven, you won't go, but you can't break in." The two swords flashed with cold light and were out of the sheath. As soon as their body rotated, the two eunuchs who rushed to the front had been knocked down.

More than a dozen Han generals also showed off their weapons to fight with the eunuchs.

Although Guo Ying is nearly 60 years old, the domineering aura of the past is still there. His swords dance into a circle of snowflakes, like a lion rushing into the group of eunuchs. The two sides fought in front of the Xiying Gate.

After a while, the number of guards was at a disadvantage. They were forced by the eunuchs step by step and were surrounded by the carriage. Ma Sanbao led his men to narrow the encirclement. He shouted proudly: "Except for the old women and children."

The other one is not left.”

Before Ma Sanbao finished speaking, he heard a cannon sound at the head of the Xiying Gate city behind him. The city gate slowly opened, and the sound of horse hooves suddenly rang out. Countless cavalry rushed in through the city gate.

Ma Sanbao laughed: "Your Highness's army is coming. Brothers killed Guo Si and snatched the person is a great achievement."

Suddenly, the cavalry rushed into the city gate shouted, and the bright sabers crashed into the eunuch's crowd. The horse's hooves flew, and the sword light shone. Immediately, a few eunuch's heads rolled on the ground.

Ma Sanbao looked at the cavalry rushing towards him in shock, but he was not careful that Guo Ying rushed over with a quick step, and his two swords were like two dragons to go straight to the vital point.

Ma Sanbao quickly moved and dodged the death attack, but Guo Ying smiled grimly: "Open your dog's eyes and see where the cavalry is." Then he slashed like a knife that forced Ma Sanbao backed down.

Suddenly Guo Ying stopped and Ma Sanbao was still breathing. A dead chill came from behind his head. Blood light accompanied by a splash of brain matter, and half of Ma Sanbao's head was split in half.

A knight rushed past, and the saber in his hand had changed its tricks and slashed at the other person.

Under the attack on both sides, the eunuch was killed and injured soon. One person came out of the cavalry. It was Huang Ying. He jumped off his horse and saluted Guo Ying: "It's too late in the future, so I'll be frightened!"

Guo Ying laughed: "These eunuchs still want to touch me? Boy Huang underestimated Guo Si too much." As he spoke, he stopped laughing and said, "Where is the concubine and the second prince?"

Huang Ying said: "It would have been safely released from the palace according to Yang Changshi's plan. If the Marquis hadn't played a show here, I'm afraid your highness would not have been that easy!"

Guo Ying waved his hand: "With that guy Yang Rong here, these eunuchs can only fall into the trap. What's the situation outside now?"

Huang Ying said: "Everything goes as planned. General Qu and Yang Changshi's scouts' brothers escorted the two high men out of Shangyang Gate. The last general led two hundred brothers back to pick up the Marquis. I wonder if Concubine Guo is good?"

Guo Ying hurried to the sedan chair and said, "Girl, come down." As he said, a rich lady came out of the sedan chair. However, it was Guo Ying's sister, Zhu Yuanzhang's widow, Concubine Guo.

Huang Ying waved his hand, and the two guards behind him came over with two horses. Huang Ying said, "Empress, Marquis, take advantage of Shangyang Gate still in our hands, and get out of the city quickly."

Guo Ying nodded and flew onto a horse with his sister. A group of cavalry jumped out of the Great Inner Xiyingmen and rushed out in a row.

...

In Fengtian Hall, a thin figure stood behind the hall gate, looking outside through the carvings, and the roaring and dark firelight reflected on his face, with fear and the six gods in his eyes. The empire belonging to Zhu Yunwen has finally come to an end.

Zhu Yunwen looked at the night sky blankly and murmured, "Big companion, is the firewood piled up?"

Behind him was an old eunuch, Li Zhong, who had been raised by him since childhood. At this time, the old eunuch was already snot and tears.

He kept kowtowing: "It has been prepared as ordered! But! Your Majesty, you can't take this step! It's still time to leave at this time. If you leave the city from the Secret Road, you will definitely make a comeback."

Zhu Yunwen smiled miserably. He turned around and looked at Li Zhong, and sighed long: "Big companion, Grandpa Huang handed over such a big country to me, but I was defeated by Qingguang within two years.

An incompetent emperor like me would have no face to escape. Master Fang is right. If the king dies in the country and cannot defend this business, I will have to apologize to the emperor in the underworld."

Li Zhong burst into tears: "The emperor is all Fang Xiaoru, and Huang Zicheng and other incompetent rats. If it weren't for them, how could the emperor be reduced to such a field?

Is the emperor still going to believe their nonsense? These people are usually satisfied with benevolence, righteousness, loyalty and filial piety, but at this time, there is not even one who comes to share the worries with the emperor. The emperor, you can't believe them anymore, you can't walk this dead end.

"A smell of pine oil floated into the hall from outside the window.

Zhu Yunwen said, "It's too late to say anything. If it weren't for my incompetence, how could the incompetent people let the government control the affairs of the government? I regret it. I don't know what foreign affairs are, and today my father's last words are still recalling in my ears.

I shouldn’t not listen to what my father said, and I regret not to repeatedly suspect Uncle Fifteen. But why Uncle Fifteen is so outstanding? Even Yan Ni is not his opponent. How can I rest assured Uncle Fifteen?! Father, Father.

You have never said that Uncle Fifteen would be so powerful." This was like talking to himself. It seemed like he was asking Prince Yiwen of the old place.

Li Zhong knelt on the ground and rubbed his first two steps, pulling Zhu Yunwen’s dragon robe: “Emperor. Now is not the time to talk about this.

You also know that His Highness of the King of Liao is still here, and as long as he is in Yan Ni, he may not be able to usurp the country! The emperor quickly left the palace and went to Liaodong to find His Highness to raise troops to pacify Yan Ni!"

This statement seemed to touch Zhu Yunwen a little. He turned his head to look at Li Zhong: "Brother, do you think Uncle Fifteen blames me for being suspicious of him all the time?" Before he finished speaking, a fire flashed outside, and the dry firewood piled outside Fengtian Palace began to rise.

Li Zhong jumped up and cursed outside: "Who is the one who wants to die? Why do you need to light the fire without orders?" The fire outside became louder and louder, but no one agreed.

Li Zhong was anxious and went to pull the hall gate, but the tall acquaintance gate made of Nanmu could not be opened! Li Zhong shook the hall gate vigorously and shouted in horror: "Come here! Is there anyone outside? The emperor is here! I'm leaving the water, put out the fire!"
