Chapter 378: Shocked to Hear the Empress Dowager Injured
All sorts of emotions piled up together, causing them to shout and curse non-stop: "Hurry up! Hurry up! The pursuers behind us are coming up soon. If we're late, we'll all die here!"
This is the truth, everyone understands it, but the problem is that the people in front can't move forward at all!
Just as everyone was pushing each other to move forward.
suddenly!
Everyone felt that the surrounding environment became brighter!
But when some people looked up, their pupils suddenly contracted in fear!
I saw torches lighting up on the city wall behind them!
At the same time, flaming arrows flew through the air and landed on the open space outside the city.
It fell into a pile of matches that had been set up long ago, and the flames ignited with the sound of "boom! boom! boom!"
Dozens of match piles were lit.
Suddenly, tens of thousands of people were illuminated!
Finally, the people riding on horseback at the back climbed onto the roof of the carriage and, with the help of the firelight, saw the situation ahead clearly.
It would have been fine if he hadn't seen it, but once he saw it, his legs went weak!
Suddenly, there appeared in front of them a rebel force that was larger in number than them!
Each of these people held a weapon in their hands, their bodies were stained with blood, and they looked ferocious, as if they were evil spirits from the underworld, coming to eat their flesh, drink their blood, and suck their souls!
Among this group of children from famous families, there are also some with bright minds.
At that moment, there were several elders from wealthy families, followed by a group of beautiful ladies, each of them holding a jewelry box in their hands.
The leader was an old man with gray hair.
He usually spoke in a trembling voice, but at this moment his voice was as loud as a bell.
He spoke passionately to the person in front of him, using some high-sounding rhetoric.
She said something like "she has been harmed" and then waved her hand. Dozens of graceful and charming young ladies behind her opened the jewelry boxes.
What is presented inside are rare treasures that have never been seen or heard of in daily life!
The old man shouted to the group of ferocious rebels in front of him: "Heroes, please make way for us and let us go!"
"We will definitely keep this in mind, and we can even help you capture the capital!"
At this time, in the crowd ahead, a team surged like a tide.
The team that was originally standing densely together suddenly separated to the left and right in a very orderly manner.
Then, what appeared before everyone was a stunning beauty with two steel knives on her back!
She looks heroic and even in the dark, it cannot hide her bright and beautiful face and her graceful figure that makes people think of her endlessly.
She walked forward step by step under the gaze of everyone.
At such a critical moment, even many young men appeared in a rush, hoping to attract the attention of the beautiful female leader with their own demeanor, handsome faces and prominent family background.
Benefit the family for this!
Unfortunately, the female rebel leader had eyes as sharp as knives. She completely ignored the noble young men and women in front of her and strode up to the old man who was leading the group.
In a low, beautiful voice, she said, "Old man, you can come over if you want, but the price you offered is too low."
As soon as the old man heard what the beautiful female leader said, he immediately realized that this was a business deal that could be negotiated!
At the same time, he secretly thought: "They are indeed a group of uneducated, vicious and ruthless bandits! If we promise them enough benefits, they will not only let us go, but even use us for their own benefit!"
The old man thought about this and then said, "Your Majesty, please speak up. Although we left the city in a hurry this time, we didn't bring many treasures and valuables with us."
"But we, the aristocratic families, have our own forces everywhere in Xuanyuan Country!"
"If Your Majesty can capture the capital today, the wealth you will obtain in the future will be countless and inexhaustible!"
But at this moment, the beautiful female bandit leader suddenly laughed. Her laughter sounded particularly beautiful even in such a crowded crowd.
She said, "Old man, do you really think I'm stupid? How dare you write me a bad check?"
Bad check.
I'm afraid only people around Han Zhuo know what this word means.
The beautiful female leader suddenly moved her hands slightly, and a steel knife was pulled out from her back!
With a clanging sound, the blade flashed through the air at a high speed!
With a "click", the old man's head was cut off by her!
She caught the old man's head in mid-air and shouted at the people in front of her.
"I am Chun Erniang, the Flying Phoenix General of the Yong'an Corps, appointed by His Majesty!"
"You traitors, not only do you have no remorse, you even dare to disrupt the country and the people. You deserve to be killed!"
"kill!!"
"kill!!"
"kill!!"
When Chun Er Niang said this, all the noble young men in front of her were so frightened that their hands and feet turned cold and their legs trembled!
No one expected that this group of rebels had actually been surrendered by the empress!
This is simply impossible!
Didn’t they say that the empress was injured?
They all thought that this group of rebels who had arrived at the foot of the imperial city must have broken through Niangzi Pass and might even have captured the empress!
Therefore, people came up with all kinds of ideas.
However, they didn't expect that Chun Er Niang's words would explode like a thunder in their minds!
Immediately afterwards, the team behind Chun Er Niang split up again, and then everyone saw a luxurious carriage pulled by six horses slowly appearing.
Soon, Diao Meiniang, the housekeeper beside Yang Pan'er, lifted the curtain.
Yang Pan'er, dressed in a gorgeous ochre-yellow dragon robe, slowly appeared in the extremely complicated gazes of the crowd.
Not only was Yang Pan'er not injured, but she looked like an immortal who had descended to earth!
Her beauty cannot be expressed in a few words.
Her charm is something you can never fully experience even if you spend your entire life on it!
She just stood there, like a goddess peak that could never be climbed, lying in everyone's heart, leaving them with nothing but to look up at her!
The appearance of Yang Paner can be said to have completely shattered everyone's last bit of hope.
There were only two words in their minds: It’s over!
Chun Er Niang swung the blade in her hand quickly!
Blood turned into beads and flew out. She shouted delicately, "How dare you not kneel before His Majesty!?"
Suddenly, tens of thousands of people knelt down in scattered groups.
"Long live your Majesty, long live your Majesty!"
……
At the same time, on the city wall.
Han Zhuo looked at the large group of people in front of him with a smile on his face.
He said to Li Shenghao beside him, "Now, are you admitting defeat?"
Li Shenghao's lips twitched. He was about to speak, but Han Zhuo raised his hand and said, "Don't worry, I will leave roots for your Li family."
"This is my promise to Li Yujun, but from now on, you will all be treated as civilians, imprisoned, and sent to labor camps!"
After saying that, Han Zhuo did not choose to stand beside Yang Pan'er, but turned around and quickly disappeared into the darkness, hiding his achievements and fame!
Han Zhuo planned all of this, but did not fully participate in it. To him, the power of one person is limited. Only by mobilizing the entire state machinery can the Xuanyuan Kingdom truly break free from the control and encroachment of the surrounding countries!
Han Zhuo had been planning for several days and still hadn't gotten a full night's sleep.
He was now walking towards his home, yawning as he walked.
I was wondering who should I ask to warm my bed tonight?
Suddenly, two beautiful figures passed by Han Zhuo!
And the killer?
Han Zhuo was about to take action when the other party bowed to him neatly and said something.
"Greetings, General Han! The Empress Dowager is injured. Please return to the harem immediately!"
