No wonder Li Chengqian was so excited. It turned out that the 10,000 soldiers placed by Meng Xinghe in the suburbs of Chang'an now rushed in from the gate of the Daming Palace. At this moment, these 10,000 soldiers were simply the key to reversing the entire situation. Even Li Shimin saw the Daming Palace The army suddenly appeared in front of the palace. He could no longer sit peacefully on the dragon throne.
Xue Rengui and Luo Feng were like two leopards descending from the mountain. When they rushed in with their troops, they immediately broke up the formation of the Royal Forest Army and disrupted the encirclement they formed. Meng Xinghe and others inside were able to find the foreign exchange in the gap. combine.
Meng Xinghe glanced at the brothers who came to the rescue. They were carefully prepared by him in response to today's situation. Most of them were soldiers from the Dragon Gang and the Taiping Sect who were good at fighting. He was originally afraid that Li Chengqian would control the outside of the Daming Palace. But if you can't control the situation inside, you will leave yourself a way out.
Sure enough, Meng Xinghe had the foresight. Li Shimin's unyielding attitude allowed Li Chengqianhu to fall to Pingyang. If he hadn't been prepared, he would have been buried in the Daming Palace today.
"Brother Meng. Outside the Daming Palace, Tongguan guard Zhang Liangzheng is coming here with 5,000 elite troops. Moreover, the four gates in and out of Chang'an are blocked. I think we have been surrounded."
Xue Rengui told Meng Xinghe some bad news. It turned out that Li Shimin recently ordered to block the city gates in and out of Chang'an, which were all used to cross Chencang secretly. He was actually using it to transport his troops from the suburbs into Chang'an City.
Li Chengqian heard that his father's army was in Chang'an City. He was immediately frightened. But the green hills left behind were there, so he didn't have to worry about running out of firewood. As long as he could escape from here, how could he not have a chance to make a comeback?
"Let's rush out." At this time, Meng Xinghe directly ignored Li Chengqian and took on the role of commander. He glanced at the unreasonable Turkic princess beside him. You know, at this time, she is still standing next to Meng Xinghe. There is no doubt that she is still standing next to Meng Xinghe. He wanted to break up with the Tang Dynasty: "Aren't you afraid that the Tang Dynasty will send its army to attack the Turks?"
"I'm not afraid as long as you are here." The Turkic princess suddenly laughed at Meng Xinghe. "But I would like to see how you broke up with the emperor of the Tang Dynasty. I'm looking forward to it."
"It's very simple. Just watch." Meng Xinghe suddenly jumped on a horse: "Xiao Xue, let me lend you a bow and arrow."
Xue Rengui immediately threw the bow and arrow on his back to Meng Xinghe.
Meng Xinghe took it and immediately turned it into a full moon. Where the arrow pointed was where Li Shimin was.
The ministers were immediately horrified. Although Meng Xinghe was a scholar, they all heard about the strength that Meng Xinghe showed in the Battle of Jiangnan and the Rebellion of Lingnan. If this arrow were shot at Li Shimin, the consequences would be disastrous.
"Master Meng, if you kill the people on the dragon throne for Gu, Gu will immediately make you the founding father of the country." Li Chengqian also saw Meng Xinghe drawing his bow towards Li Shimin on the dragon throne. He was expecting Meng Xinghe to shoot an arrow. Shoot it out. I'm afraid this coup will be over soon.
The turning arrow was held in Meng Xinghe's hand. Even Qin Shubao beside Li Shimin had already fired his bow.
He stared at Li Shimin, who was already slightly older on the throne. He seemed to be looking at Meng Xinghe equally calmly, ignoring all the noise and discussions around him and forgetting any emergencies that happened around him.
"Tell me, where is Xiao'er?" Meng Xinghe threw a question directly to Li Shimin. He acted as if he was talking about the Book of Heaven. No one could understand what he said. Who was Xiao'er in his mouth?
After hearing these words, Li Shimin suddenly laughed. He could finally laugh because he had grasped Meng Xinghe's biggest weakness, which was that he paid too much attention to love. Meng Xinghe could give up anything, but he could not give up a word of love.
Li Shimin's calmness made Meng Xinghe suppress the anger in his heart.
But at this moment, when the Daming Palace came out, there was another sound of horses neighing. It seemed like another group of people rushed in.
"Could it be that Tongguan guard Zhang Liang has arrived."
The rebels felt a panic in their hearts. If Zhang Liang comes to suppress the situation that they have finally suppressed, they may turn to Li Shimin's side again.
Everyone's eyes were fixed on the door of Daming Palace.
"Look. That's a woman." Almost in an instant, all the men remembered the woman with a sword on her waist and a purple-blue scarf who was riding on a black horse. They also remembered that there had been someone I said in front of Meng Xinghe that when one day you can take off the hijab from my face in front of everyone, then I will be your woman.
Meng Xinghe clearly remembered that when he said this, the woman who cooked red bean porridge for him every day was still taking care of his unfinished studies in the Imperial College. Later in Jiangnan, he also gave up everything for this woman. But Meng Xinghe feels that he has no regrets at all. Because... in heaven and on earth. If he loves a woman so much that he doesn't have to talk sweetly to her all day long, she knows his love. That is undoubtedly Aunt Yun in front of him, the former third princess of the Sui Dynasty. .
She finally arrived at Chang'an City on the night of the Lantern Festival, and finally stepped into the place that was once her home in front of everyone.
"Ms. sir." He called softly. There was silence in the place. Everyone was envious that Mr. Meng had a wife who was as desperate as him. She rode up to Mr. Meng with a package wrapped in yellow cloth on her back. If the officials of Honglu Temple in charge of court etiquette and clothing saw it, they would definitely recognize it. Only the emperor can possess such bright yellow in the world.
Aunt Yun threw the package on her back to Meng Xinghe: "Master, don't worry about Sister Xiao. Xiruo and the sisters have just rescued her from the palace." With her words, Meng Xinghe seemed to have taken reassurance. It turned out. When Mr. Meng came to the Daming Palace, several of his wives got off the bus in advance to prepare to rescue Mr. Meng's other wife. Xiao Sizi was very familiar with the environment in the palace. He also knew the precautions in the palace on the Lantern Festival. They were even more lax. That's why they had this opportunity. By the time Aunt Yun arrived, they had already rescued Princess Ningxian from the palace.
Meng Xinghe took the package, but heard Aunt Yun whispering: "The four gates in and out of the palace are now closed. Mengdie and the others are trapped at the Xuanwu Gate. We have to hurry over and join them."
Meng Xinghe learned about the seriousness of the matter. It turned out that none of his wives ran out of the palace. He knew that Aunt Yun must have something to do when she handed the package. Meng Xinghe understood her thoughts and immediately opened it. He immediately knew that Aunt Yun's That makes sense.
"Destined by heaven, you will live forever."
Looking at the jade seal in the package, Meng Xinghe suddenly laughed. He suddenly sighed: "Qin Shihuang is so persistent." After saying that, he suddenly wrapped the package containing the jade seal around the arrow, and then asked someone to An incomprehensible scene suddenly happened. Meng Xinghe was shot by Li Shimin without any warning.
"Boom."
Drawing the bow and shooting the arrow almost in one go.
"Remember, water can carry a boat or capsize it. If you want peace, govern the people."
After saying this, Meng Xinghe completely ignored the gazes of hundreds of pairs of eyes around him. He resolutely left the Daming Palace on horseback with the woman beside him without any scruples.
"kill."
At this time, Xue Rengui and Luo Feng simultaneously ordered the five thousand soldiers they brought to fight to the death. Li Chengqian, who was in the distance, looked at this scene in horror. He could not even believe that Meng Xinghe actually handed the imperial seal to Li Shimin.
"No." Li Chengqian was like a completely desperate loner. The moment he saw Meng Xinghe surrendering, he couldn't hold back the blood that spurted out from his heart. He laughed three times in despair and fell to the ground suddenly. And with the fall of Li Chengqian, none of his close friends had any support to fight. Under the attack of the Royal Forest Army, they fell one after another and could no longer be afraid.
Meng Xinghe said to go directly to Xuanwu Gate. Anyone who wants to stand in the way will be killed without mercy. He led the army to run rampant in the imperial city with such great fanfare. Since the founding of the country, except for the Xuanwu Gate incident in 17 years, today should be It was he who broke the precedent again.
On the other hand, Tongguan guard Zhang Liang led 10,000 soldiers to intercept the fleeing Meng Xinghe outside the Xuanwu Gate. He did not see the shadow of Meng Xinghe, but found that a group of his wives were fighting with the imperial army there. Zhang Liang immediately asked people to be sure to do so. After capturing these people alive, the scene of a river of blood seventeen years ago suddenly appeared in front of Xuanwu Gate.
In the chaos of the army, there was a carriage with four beautiful women and two babies still in their infancy. They looked at more and more soldiers around them. They were all trying to tear apart the carriage with their teeth and claws. .If this continues, I'm afraid it won't last long.
At the critical moment, a fully armed woman suddenly flew out of the carriage. With a mentality of looking forward to death, she said: "Nianxian and Nianlang are the blood of our husbands. Now I am the only one here who knows some martial arts. Now I'm going out Protect the carriage and ask the fifth son to rush out of Xuanwu Gate at high speed. Brother Chai has already made arrangements. We will meet with our husband at the pavilion ten miles outside Chang'an City. Then we will travel all the way to Mobei."
After the woman finished speaking, she had disappeared into the carriage. At this time, she was thinking in her heart that even if she died, she would still preserve the blood of her husband. She looked at the pale Princess Ningxian holding her two children in panic. . Mengdie, who was her mortal enemy at the time, immediately thought of such a cute child. Unfortunately, she was destined to be unable to enjoy the happiness of a family in this life.
So when she rushed out, she was determined to die.
"Catch this woman." Zhang Liang immediately led a large number of troops to surround the woman.
Seeing that the carriage in the distance was rescued, Mengdie smiled happily.
Looking at the shouts of killing coming from the direction of Daming Palace in the distance, she closed her eyes slightly and said, "Mr., see you in the next life."
Just before she left her mouth, Mengdie was already surrounded by countless soldiers holding swords, spears and halberds. She was surrounded in the middle. But just now, she saw that this female devil kills without blinking an eye. No one dared to step forward to arrest her. .
"Rebels. You can't escape." Zhang Liang, holding a double ax, appeared in front of him. "Catch one first. The rest will chase the carriage immediately."
He gave the order. The soldiers, who could not disobey the military order, rushed forward like a swarm.
Mengdie's light sword flashed across like a meteor. As she resisted, she gradually felt her strength getting weaker and weaker. Until finally, she could no longer kill anyone. The hands that had resisted gradually became much slower.
"Pfft." A mouthful of blood spat out from her mouth. In her blurred vision, she seemed to see a familiar figure running towards her from a distance.
I saw the man running towards me on horseback, randomly grabbing a spear and holding it in his hand. He had a bit of the majesty of Zhao Zilong from the Three Kingdoms. He was able to move with ease among the rebellious army. Everywhere he went, he was fatally shot.
Zhang Liang saw a man in civilian clothes rushing over. He immediately realized that the man in front of him was probably Meng Xinghe. But he was not afraid. Meng Xinghe was only one person after all. No matter how brave he was, he could not make a difference.
However, Meng Xinghe didn't seem to be interested in fighting. He rushed into Mengdie on horseback, lifted her onto the horse, and swiped her spear. He immediately killed several soldiers who had gathered around him. He clamped his legs tightly around the horse's belly, and a horse-riding rider kicked his legs. Er let the horse Heifeng rush out like the wind.
Immediately, the people who came from the Daming Palace immediately joined Meng Xinghe.
Under the cover of this group of people, two of them and one horse, they quickly caught up with the carriage that had escaped danger earlier.
He glanced at all the ladies in the car. His eyes were specifically focused on a woman in the car whom he had never met before but always thought she was a fairy.
She is my wife. What she holds in her arms is my Nianxian and Nianlang.
With a swish sound, Master Meng jumped off the horse with Mengdie in his arms.
Behind him, a fierce battle was going on at the Xuanwu Sect. However, it did not affect Meng Xinghe's excitement in jumping onto the carriage.
In the carriage.
He looked at the strange yet familiar woman. He never stared at her face that was so stunning to all living beings. Instead, he looked at the pair of children with their big black eyes facing him. Meng Xinghe was a little excited and even spoke incoherently. : "I.I.Can I hug them?"
Xiao Xiao handed the pair of children in her arms to the man in front of her. Although she hadn't seen him for a year, she would never forget this face, let alone missing him.
How long is a year? It's only three hundred and fifty-six days.
But not seeing her for one day is like three autumns. It's like not seeing her for a year. It's like not seeing her for a thousand years.
When you both still love each other deeply and meet each other, don't forget to hold each other's hands and cry. Because in this life, no matter who leaves the other's world, it will be a kind of eternal pain.
As a result, the woman's eyes filled with tears without reservation. The man looked at the pair of children in his arms. It was only at this time in his life that others saw the truest feelings hidden in his heart.
Just like that, flesh and blood relatives are the things that he can't let go of the most.
When the sound of fighting from Xuanwu Gate gradually died down, outside Chang'an City, the annual Lantern Festival really reached its most lively time. Not much is known outside of the palace about what happened inside the palace, so it will not affect this year's Lantern Festival at all. of joy and excitement.
In the crowded Chang'an Avenue, where talented people and beauties travel together, no one knows that just now an inconspicuous carriage rushed out of the city gate and headed northwest. The young ladies who have not yet been betrothed to others and those who have not yet been married. The boy is currently guessing lantern riddles on the street, or reciting a poem or two to embody the elegance of the moment.
And in a place selling lanterns, a woman with an elegant appearance in white just bought a lantern and held it in her hand. There was a woman accompanying the woman. The woman saw the fireworks being set off in the palace. First, He sighed. Then he shook his head as if accepting his fate and said: "Long'er, let's go back."
She had just finished speaking. The woman named Long Er suddenly asked: "Mom, was my father like him back then, who left without saying a word? But... my daughter has hated my cruel father since she was a child. But at this moment, my daughter can’t hate her at all. Mother, please tell your daughter why. Why I am so reluctant to let go."
Suddenly, the woman holding the lantern looked up towards the city gate and said with all her strength, "I will miss you."
Similarly, in the palace, another woman who had just come out of Daming Palace was walking back carelessly. Behind her was a carriage. There was an old man in the carriage who kept sighing.
Suddenly, the woman stopped and turned to the old man in the carriage and said, "Dad, I want to go to Mobei."
The old man said nothing. He drew a sword from the car and cut off the reins on the horse.
"I'll tell your mother. Don't worry."
"Yes." The woman nodded. She immediately got on her horse and ran towards the city gate. She hummed, "I'm telling you, Meng Xinghe. You will never avoid me again in this life."
