Cannot attack objects

Chapter 150 In the blink of an eye

This year's New Year's Eve is destined to be restless. After midnight, many people are ready to rest after watching the night.However, in the middle of the night, the sudden sound of horseshoes outside the house woke up many people.

In the east of the city, Chunming Gate, when there was a big commotion in the Princess Mansion not far from the imperial city, it was still peaceful here.It's just that the Xiaoqiwei who were usually in charge of guarding the city gate was replaced tonight, and those standing on the city wall became armored guards!

A team of Habayashi took over Chunmingmen, and they obviously didn't know what happened tonight, but running to the top of the city to blow cold wind on New Year's Eve reunion night is still very easy to cause dissatisfaction, especially Yubai. In the forest, there are many children of officials and nobles.They guarded the city gate for half an hour, and the surrounding area was still peaceful, and after midnight, even the lights burning in the surrounding houses were extinguished.

Finally, someone muttered in dissatisfaction: "In the middle of the night, we came here to guard the city gate and let the Xiaoqi guards go home to rest. What do the higher-ups think?!"

In the silence of the night, no matter how small a voice is, it can be amplified. Even if the muttering is not loud, the people around can still hear it.Although there were quite a few people who were also full of complaints, some people said immediately: "You and I don't care what the higher-ups think, just obey orders honestly."

Perhaps the person who spoke had some prestige, and it was hard for him to say anything more when he complained before, so he just said aggrievedly: "Tonight is New Year's Eve, it's finally my turn to rest this year..."

Before he could finish his grievance, he was interrupted by someone: "Shut up, someone is coming!"

Someone was indeed coming, and a Habayashi walked past them quickly, without even looking at them, he hurried up the city wall.Then, within a short while, Chen Mao, the commander of their group of Habayashi, followed behind the messenger Habayashi, and walked down in a hurry.

After getting off the city wall, Chen Mao saw a middle-aged scribe surrounded by a group of habayashi. Although there was no tension, the unusual situation tonight obviously made the habayashi people more vigilant. Tight.

Chen Mao didn't recognize this person, but seeing that his demeanor seemed unusual, he never underestimated him.He walked forward, the feathers consciously gave way to him, and went straight to the scribe, before he asked: "It's late at night, and the capital is under martial law. I don't know who Mr. What's up?"

The scribe looked back at him when he heard the words, and without saying much, he showed a gold medal: "Your Majesty has an order to open the city gate after a quarter of an hour, and there is no need to ask more questions."

The light from the torch shone on the shining gold medal, which was extraordinarily dazzling, but Habayashi on the left and right could easily see the four characters "as I come in person" on the gold medal.Chen Mao was closer, so he could see more clearly, but when he saw the gold medal clearly, his eyes flashed, and he subconsciously raised his head to look at the scribe, before he knelt down on one knee to accept the order: "The general obeys."

Chen Mao was ordered to kneel down, and the others naturally followed suit, and no one took another look at the gold medal...

************************************************** ************

Su Mo, Concubine Gui, Xu Wenjin, and Wu Changjun were all evacuated from the Princess Mansion in advance, together with the dismissed servants of the Princess Mansion.Only the eldest princess can't leave, because Xiao Qian will never let her go, and the situation tonight will become more complicated.

In an instant, the noble concubine, who had changed into a riding outfit and sat on the horseback, became anxious. She turned her head to look in the direction of the princess mansion, but the princess mansion was too far away from Chunming Gate, even if she wanted to see it, she couldn't see it. half point.So he couldn't help frowning and said: "The gate of this city is about to open, why haven't they come yet, could something have happened?!"

Su Mo was in the same mood as the Concubine Gui, and she never let go of her frowning tonight.However, even the fingertips holding the rein turned white due to the tension and force, she still tried her best to say in the calmest voice: "It's okay, Ah Shao's skill is good, even if there is any accident, she will definitely be able to take the rein with me." Aunt escaped."

Both of them just said this, but they kept silent, because the more they talked, the more flustered they felt.

There were only a dozen or so people in this group, and they all hid in the dark on horseback, waiting for Zhong Shao and the Eldest Princess to bring people over, and then they went out of the city together.As long as they leave Anyang City, the outside world is vast to them, no matter how insane Emperor Jing Yuan is, he can't just send a large group of people to arrest his aunt without any reason!

However, things started in a hurry, how to get out of the city tonight became the biggest difficulty.

Xu Wenjin waited quietly, until the appointed time was approaching, and his expression became more serious: "No, I have to send someone to have a look, the agreed quarter of an hour is coming soon, and the city gate is about to open. .”

The capital is under martial law, and the streets and alleys are patrolled by forbidden troops. It is not easy for them to come to Chunming Gate under the martial law. It will undoubtedly be very dangerous to send people out to check. The people who are sent out are in danger, and they will also be exposed. risks of.

But at this moment, everyone couldn't care less about it, so the noble concubine said first, "That's right, we can't wait any longer, if we wait to go to the city gate, there may be some accidents."

After she finished speaking, she didn't see any of the accompanying people going out, but saw a thin man suddenly jumped off the horse, and then fell on the ground without saying a word.

The noble concubine was taken aback when she saw this, and just about to ask a question, she saw the man lying on the ground jump up again.In the darkness, he couldn't see clearly, but there was excitement in his voice: "There's a cavalry team coming!"

Xu Wenjin was overjoyed when he heard the words, and quickly asked, "How many people are there and how long will it take?"

Obviously, this man who listened to the ground is very experienced in this area, but there are too many people involved tonight, so he was not sure about the number of people, so he said: "It sounds like there must be at least 3000 people, they will come very quickly, probably It only takes half a cup of tea to get there."

Xu Wenjin's face was a little dignified when he heard this, because the princess's mansion had 1000 soldiers and a caravan of [-] people, according to his estimation, at least half of them had to be discounted.The rest is less than one thousand, that is to say, there are at least two thousand forbidden troops chasing after them. If the city gate doesn't cooperate well enough and opens a little later, the forbidden army on the top of the city will find something wrong and refuse to open the city gate. These people are really caught in the urn!

Su Mo obviously could think of this too, she estimated the time secretly in her heart, and said, "It's okay, it should be in time."

The noble concubine was more decisive, and she said in a low voice: "The matter has come to this point, it is not up to us to decide whether we dare to make it in time. Since people are coming, we should also make preparations so that we don't miss the time." Instead, it dragged them down."

The crowd didn't say much anymore, but their expressions were slightly solemn, but the man who was lying on the ground listening to the sound fell down again.

After another moment, the man jumped up from the ground, and then quickly got on his horse: "Here we come!"

Almost at the moment when his voice fell, everyone heard a rush and heavy sound of horseshoes approaching towards the direction of Chunming Gate in the silent night.And almost at the same time, Chen Mao on the side of Chunming Gate seemed to have given the order to open the city gate, only to hear a loud "bang" sound suddenly in the middle of the night, like thunder.

Xu Wenjin smiled immediately, shook the reins and said, "Well done, it's just the right time! Let's go, let's go out quickly."

In a short while, a group of people appeared in the vast night. They rode quickly and were very silent. They didn't even light their torches, but only illuminated by the few lamps that had not been extinguished on the streets on New Year's Eve.But it was precisely because of this that Xu Wenjin and the others easily identified the person who came - the ones walking in the dark could not be the imperial army, and Zhong Shao and the others did not light candles to avoid being discovered by the imperial army on the top of the city in advance.

Neither of the two teams lit torches, and they couldn't see each other's appearance clearly. However, the two teams had a tacit understanding. They gathered in one place without stopping at all, and then rushed all the way towards the direction of Chunming Gate.

At that time, the gate of Chunmingmen had already been half opened, and the loud bang of "Boom" could be heard far away.

The guards who fell behind Zhong Shao and his party were all in an uproar when they heard the sound, and some generals immediately shouted: "Who let the city gate open in the middle of the night?! As for the messenger soldiers, hurry up and send the signal to let them Close the gates!"

Almost at the next moment, the red fireworks that belonged exclusively to the imperial army's urgent message soared into the sky.

The imperial guards at the Chunming Gate naturally saw it, but seeing it was seeing it, but they were also a little confused—the city gate was opened on time according to His Majesty's order, so why set off fireworks?

The cautious captain approached Chen Mao, and said worriedly: "General, is there something wrong with the fireworks? Is it a little wrong for us to open the city gate at this moment?"

Chen Mao was calm and relaxed, listening to the sound of horseshoes gradually approaching in the city, he said calmly: "I will follow the order, and you and I have seen the gold medal. Since His Majesty has ordered to open the city gate, we will wait until there is no new order." You must abide by it. What are the fireworks, if you misunderstand, and delay His Majesty’s important affairs, you and I will bear the crime of delaying the military aircraft at least?”

This is true, so the captain stopped talking, and was soon sent by Chen Mao to patrol again.As soon as the captain left, Chen Mao also went down the tower. He strode quickly, and soon he led a horse out from nowhere.

After another moment, the troops from the Princess Mansion finally approached. A group of people were covered in blood and they were in a panic. Some even followed behind and shouted to kill.Someone shouted loudly: "No, there is an enemy attack, close the city gate!"

As soon as the shout sounded, an arrow pierced through his neck, and blood spattered the face of the person next to him.The man was stunned, and then he also yelled: "Enemy attack, enemy attack, close the city gate!"

As if in an instant, the shout of "close the city gate" resounded through the entire Chunming Gate.But does it work?Of course it is useless, the gates of the capital city are so heavy, how can it be a matter of a moment to close them, but the sword is only in this moment!
