"It's getting dark, Your Highness, please lie down quickly." Shen Moran tucked the quilt for him, "Your Highness has worked hard this night, and I will leave the rest to you."
Zhou Zhan raised his neck and saw her pouring the Mongolian sweat medicine into the water and drinking it.
The sweat medicine Bitao bought was indeed genuine, but as soon as she drank it, her head felt dizzy and her eyelids clenched.
Shen Moran forced herself to go to the yard.
There was a banging on the door, and the guards became alert until Shen Anxing's voice came from outside.
"It's father... open the door!"
Shen Moran felt that her eyes were straightened and turned into cross-eyes. The moment she threw herself into Shen Shenxing's arms, she only had time to howl.
"Dad, my daughter is finally waiting for you..."
Then the world began to spin, and his consciousness was pulled into darkness.
Shen Shenxing was shocked, and regardless of etiquette, he picked her up and sent her back to the room. The situation in the room was not optimistic either. There was one person lying on the bed, another one upside down on the floor, and there were messes everywhere.
Du Shi didn't close her eyes all night, and just took a nap while leaning on the soft couch. When she opened her eyes and saw Shen Jiaxing coming in with Shen Moran in his arms, she said distressedly: "Aran, this child was frightened enough last night... Master ,What’s going on outside?”
Shen Jianxing also wanted to know what was going on. There was a fire in the palace out of nowhere, and the rebels took advantage of it out of nowhere. At this critical moment, Emperor Yao left everyone behind and returned to Beijing alone...
Who knows what happened!
"What do we do next?"
Shen Panxing really didn't know what to do. The incident happened suddenly and he was not sure whether it would be safe on the way back to Beijing.
This was the first time that he felt so constrained in doing things.
…
A bright white firework exploded in the dark night sky. Si Yiluo had seen this firework and immediately raised his voice: "Be alert, prevent a sneak attack!"
Almost as soon as she finished speaking, there was the sound of banging gunpowder in the surrounding woods, and the shields erected on all sides were beaten out of shape, but fortunately they were not penetrated. They had been prepared, and only a few of them were not. The soldiers who had time to use their shields fell off their horses, and others immediately took over.
The men and horses formed a circle around the barrel and ran forward rapidly.
A fire lit up in the forest, and the next moment, the night sky was lit up by the fire, and dots of rockets fell from the sky.
The shield blocked the fire, and the horse in the front row tripped over the rope. Si Yiluo took the lead and threw the torch out. Using the light of the fire, he used his spear to pick up the rope on the ground. The others followed her example and broke the rope.
The road from the hunting grounds in the western suburbs to the capital was mostly flat. They reacted quickly and the opponent missed the best ambush location, making it impossible to win in the future!
Si Yiluo shouted loudly: "I only dare to hide in the dark secretly. If I have the ability, I can come out and fight openly!"
When the two armies are fighting, momentum is the most important thing. Originally, the enemy was in darkness and we were in the dark, which was not good for us. Everyone, including Emperor Yao, was beating drums in their hearts.
People who have been at ease for a long time are afraid of the unknown and uncertainty, which is also a human instinct.
Now that she was shouting with great momentum, military morale was aroused, and some people loudly echoed: "Come out and fight! Come out and fight! Come out and fight!"
The shouts became louder and louder, rising into the sky. Even the horses seemed to be excited, raising their necks and roaring.
They are still ten miles away from the capital. If they can't be stopped, everyone will die tonight.
After a sharp whistle in the forest, a loud shout of death rang out.
Si Yiluo didn't even look back, and said to Wei Heyan: "The emperor's safety is in danger, sir!"
She slung the spear behind her back, took off the bow and arrows from her horse, hooked her toes on the saddle and stood up, aimed at the place where the killing call was, and fired five arrows in unison.
"The first team, follow me to meet the enemy, the second team defends, and the third team protects the emperor!"
Compared with the Yulin Guard, the soldiers of the Jinyi Guard are all trained in real skills. In terms of bravery and ruthlessness, even the barracks within the capital may not be their opponents.
How the soldiers below are doing depends on the generals. Si Yiluo has a ruthless character and doesn't talk much. Subtly, his subordinates also have the same temper.
The first team had more people, but there was still a gap between them and the people pouring out of the woods. The subordinates also knew that as long as they desperately escorted Emperor Yao back to the capital tonight and were promoted and made rich, they would not be able to escape!
I usually handle ten cases and one hundred cases, but the achievements tonight are not as great!
The opponent's ammunition was very limited. The gunfire lasted for a quarter of an hour and became intermittent. Si Yiluo brushed away a marble with his long knife and shouted: "They have no ammunition, kill!"
The two parties met at one place.
In the center, Wei Heyan was alert to the surroundings while paying attention to the situation on the field.
The girl was very talented in fighting. Even though they were surrounded and dared not move forward, everyone's morale was not low. Everyone held their breath and concentrated, and Emperor Yao clenched his sword tightly.
The first team's manpower consumed most of the opponent's number. Si Yiluo shouted loudly: "The second team will make up for it, and the third team will be on alert!"
Judging from the girl's arrangement, they did not have an advantage in this ambush, but she still arranged it calmly, which made people feel very at ease.
There are a total of 200 Jin Yiwei, divided into three teams, the first team is 100 people, the second team is 80 people, the third team is 20 people, and then there are Wei Heyan's people.
If anything happens...
Wei Heyan clenched his fists.
The night wind carried the smell of blood, and he counted the time silently in his mind, waiting for her to call the third team, but he waited until the sky turned white. Under the weak morning light, he saw a few people still standing, facing the corpses on the ground.
, shuttle between them.
The girl's body was covered in blood, and the thick blood dripped down from the tip of her knife, her cheeks, and the corners of her clothes.
She looked at the corpses on the ground intently, and stabbed them mercilessly when she found out if they were dead.
Si Yiluo walked up to Emperor Yao and knelt down on one knee.
"My incompetence frightened the Emperor."
In order to deceive others, Emperor Yao wore the clothes of Yu Linwei. When it was dark, it was difficult for the enemy to identify who was him. After Si Yiluo finished speaking, a corpse suddenly raised his hand and pointed a blunderbuss at Emperor Yao's back.
Si Yiluo knelt down and could see through the horse's belly.
"Your Majesty, be careful!"
She stood up suddenly and pulled Yao Emperor off the horse. The projectile slid past her scalp, and blood trickled down her forehead and into her eyes, dyeing her eyes blood red.
Wei Heyan turned around and threw the dagger into the man's mouth. Others jumped off their horses and rushed over, stabbing the man into a sieve.
"Your Majesty, are you okay? It's all because of the negligence of this servant! Sir Si's injury..."
There was a fierceness in his eyes, and he was just a little bit away from being shot in the head! Emperor Yao's ten lives were not as good as hers!
But now he didn't dare to show concern. All he could do was... take out a handkerchief from his arms and hand it to her.
Si Yiluo's body was sticky, and her clothes were wet with blood. She raised her sleeves to wipe her face, but the more she wiped it, the dirtier it became, so she had no choice but to accept his kindness.
"Thank you Lord."
The girl's tone was stubborn, "Your Majesty, it's not appropriate to stay here for a long time. Let's go back to Beijing as soon as possible."
Emperor Yao got on the horse again and told Wei Heyan to take good care of Si Yiluo. After fighting all night, Si Yiluo had some difficulty getting on the horse, so Wei Heyan reached out and fished her out.
She still had a cold and distant attitude.
"Thank you, Lord Governor. There is no problem with my resignation."
The huge city wall of Shengjing City stretched back, the ancient gate was opened wide, and the city defenders came out to greet him. A group of people escorted Emperor Yao back to the palace.
"He Yan, please send someone to the palace to bring everyone back."
After returning to the familiar palace, Emperor Yao regained his senses and opened his mouth to speak but stopped.
Wei Heyan nodded in agreement and added: "I will explain it to the Queen and the ministers."
His actions were always in line with his wishes. Emperor Yao hummed and looked at Si Yiluo again.
"Si Qing's injury needs to be treated as soon as possible. He Yan, ask the people below to find the imperial doctor as soon as possible."
After this incident, he would only be more fond of Si Yiluo in the future. However, this favor was obtained at the cost of nearly two hundred lives of his subordinates, and Si Yiluo felt very heavy.
