Chapter 144: robbery
"Miss. Has Her Royal Highness the Princess got up now?" Wang Yan hurried in from the outside with a worried look on his face.
Her sudden intrusion broke the tranquility in the yard, Gu Yuqi and Fu Wang Qiqi looked at Wang Yan, and Gu Siyu immediately disappeared.
"Probably not yet." Gu Yuqi looked at the wing on the other side, it was too early. Morning light out of danger.
As soon as Gu Yuqi finished speaking, she saw that the door of the wing room was opened by Rouge from the inside, "Why is the guard Wang looking for the eldest princess?"
It seems that the eldest princess is also sleepless all night.
Who else in the capital could sleep peacefully yesterday?
"Miss Rouge, please go back to Her Royal Highness the Princess." Wang Yan said with a fist at the door, "His Royal Highness An Wang borrowed the Princess's order from Her Royal Highness."
The door opened wide, and the eldest princess appeared in the door. After a rest last night, although she also stayed up all night, her complexion recovered a little. The county magistrate of Jiaxi followed behind her.
"What's the use of Ke'er's order from the eldest princess in this palace?" Princess Pinghu was helped out of the door by Rouge and stood still at the door.
"If you go back to His Highness, His Royal Highness An and Shicai have led the Xiaoqi Battalion to enter the capital from Changxin Gate. Two gates have been captured. His Royal Highness took the opportunity to force the palace, the palace was besieged, His Majesty's life and death are unknown, and five city soldiers Ma Si is already in a mess, and now he does not know whose orders to listen to. Therefore, His Royal Highness An Wang asked for the princess' order to reorganize the five cities and join forces to relieve the siege of the palace and rescue His Majesty."
After hearing this, Gu Yuqi looked at Princess Pinghu, and sure enough, she guessed right. The destruction of the capital and the destruction of the eldest princess' mansion were not accidental but inevitable. His Royal Highness really couldn't hold back and took the opportunity to make a move. The reason they broke the eldest princess mansion was probably the eldest princess decree. After all, the fief of the eldest princess is within the scope of the capital. Her warrant can mobilize all the officials and troops in the capital. That's why Yun Xuan wanted to control the eldest princess in the first moment of the turmoil.
After hearing this, the eldest princess turned pale, and then let out a long sigh, "Xuan'er is reckless! How can this child do this!" After she finished speaking, she looked at Gu Yuqi, "Yuqi, do you have a horse here? "
"Yes." Gu Yuqi bought this small yard just to be prepared, so the yard was equipped with everything, not only horses but also a cellar.
"Borrowing the two horses from this palace, this palace will make a trip in person." The eldest princess said slowly.
"His Royal Highness, it's too chaotic outside." Wang Yan immediately clasped his fists and said.
"No. You don't need to persuade Ben Gong." Her Royal Highness the eldest princess raised her hand and interrupted Wang Yan, "Ben Gong naturally knows what's going on outside, but His Majesty is Ben Gong's younger brother. The prince is also Ben Gong's nephew. Son, how can you ask Ben Gong to sit here? There is no egg under the nest. Ben Gong has been the eldest princess for so many years and has not really done anything for His Majesty. Let Ben Gong go with you. This palace has to watch the rescue of His Majesty with my own eyes, so I can feel at ease." The eldest princess' expression was solemn, even if it was just plain clothes and blue jackets. But that kind of spontaneous luxury and majesty is indelible, making people have to surrender.
"Yes." Wang Yan knew that he couldn't persuade him. If the eldest princess came forward, maybe things would be better.
"The girl will accompany His Highness." Gu Yuqi clasped her fists and said. King An cannot fail. The eldest princess can't die, and her mother is still in Ximu Hutong. If An Wang fails, all her previous efforts will be turned into ashes, and her mother is still waiting for the doctor's treatment. If Yun Xuan really succeeds, he will definitely clean up all those who are his enemies, Yun Yi and Yun Ke will be implicated, and even the entire Dingyuan Houfu will be dragged into the water, she still needs to hire an imperial physician. Let's borrow the identity of the Houfu's daughter-in-law and the identity of King An's side concubine. So Yun Ke can't do anything right now.
Her Royal Highness the eldest princess stared at Gu Yuqi for a moment, then smiled slightly, "Okay, I have you by my side. This palace is also at ease."
Wang Yan is going crazy... Do you two know what's going on outside? fight! It's a war now! Well, a eldest princess, a Gu Yuqi, he can't afford to offend either. Since they are going to go, then they will go. If something happens to Gu Yuqi, he will give her his life. Low wood pill number.
"Ling'er, you can wait here." The eldest princess said to King Fu, "If my aunt really doesn't come back, someone will remember to take care of my aunt's body." Then she said to the county magistrate of Jiaxi, "Take good care of it. Your Royal Highness Fu."
"En." Jiaxi nodded.
"Aunt." Yun Ling took a step forward and held Princess Pinghu's hand tightly, but his voice was choked up. "You'll be fine."
"Good boy, borrow your auspicious words." Princess Pinghu smiled kindly at Yun Ling and patted the back of his hand comfortingly, "Wait for my aunt to come back to pick you up."
"His Royal Highness, this subordinate wants to go with the eldest princess to protect the princess." Du Xia said to Yun Ling with a fist.
"Go ahead." Yun Ling nodded. This was sent by Yun Ke to protect him. Now he is basically not in danger here, but the eldest princess needs human help.
"Thank you, Your Highness." Du Xia clasped his fists and returned, walking behind the eldest princess.
Rouge has gone to the backyard to bring the horses, there are four horses in total, Gu Yuqi left Bai Fu and Dian Mo to protect Yunling. Bai Fu opened the side door, and the four horses drove away from the house in Shadow Hutong in the morning light.
The eldest princess rode on the horse and looked at the messy streets of the capital, and her heart was full of sorrow. This is the capital she has lived in her whole life. The once prosperity and hustle and bustle are now immersed in a dead silence, and there are officers and soldiers from the cavalry camp and bandits at the streets and alleys. In battle, the sound of sword attacks can be heard everywhere, and the sound of fighting is also heard.
The bandits scattered outside are not good enough, naturally they can't reach the well-trained cavalry and horses, but they are scattered everywhere. If they don't take advantage of the victory, they will only continue to run and commit crimes. These people are desperate. Disciple, where is there any morality to speak of. After Yun Ke invaded the capital, he had to divide most of his troops to encircle and suppress the remaining bandits, so as to eliminate his worries.
Gu Yuqi protected Princess Pinghu and entered the yamen of Wucheng Bingmasi, which was also in a mess, with corpses, bloodstains, the walls and the floor, and the tables and chairs that were originally arranged in random order. Just like moving.
"Where are you adults!" The door of the yamen was opened, and someone was carrying things inside. Everyone was in a hurry. When a few of them arrived, almost no one looked at them. Wang Yan asked a random person dressed as a yamen.
The man looked at Wang Yan blankly, shook his head, and continued to carry his box. The box was so heavy that he seemed unable to carry it alone.
"Where's Qu Li! Tell him to come out to see this palace!" Princess Pinghu Liu Mei stood upside down and snorted, but Gu Yuqi who was on the side was startled. The Princess Pinghu she always saw was graceful and luxurious, and her voice was controlled. excellent. Now that this roar, Gu Yuqi knew that Princess Pinghu's voice was loud enough.
With this roar, the princess really roared a blue-clothed official from the inside.
He had seen the eldest princess, and when he ran out, he saw that the eldest princess was coming, and immediately knelt down on the ground in fright, "See the eldest princess, lower official."
"Where is Qu Liren!" Princess Pinghu asked with a frown.
"Your Excellency is inside." The little official didn't know whether to kneel or ask Qu Li to come out, and he was in a hurry for a while.
Someone shouted inside, and Qu Li hurried over. The armor on his body was stained with blood, his arms were also covered in paint, wrapped around his neck with a white cloth bandage, and his face was black and blue. He also had a large knife in his hand. It seems that he was not idle last night.
"The last commander sees His Royal Highness the Princess." Just as Qu Li was about to kneel down and salute, the Princess waved her hand impatiently, "What time is it, these idiots are here!" she said, "Hurry up and mobilize your men, follow this book. The palace enters the palace to solve the siege of the capital."
"This..." Qu Li hesitated for a while.
"What is this and that." Gu Yuqi suddenly laughed lightly, "Master Qu is so intrigued."
"Huh?" Qu Li raised his eyes and looked at Gu Yuqi.
"If I'm not mistaken, that shouldn't be the thing of the five cities' soldiers and horses." Gu Yuqi rode on the horse and pointed to a box scattered in the door. Wang Yan only glanced at the cabinet, and then quietly drew his sword.
A wicked look flashed in Qu Li's eyes, the big sword in his hand suddenly raised and headed straight for the eldest princess, when he heard a ding sound, it collided with Wang Yan's sword in the air. Princess Pinghu was frightened and pulled the reins. The horse neighed and the man stood up.
"Qu Li you!! How dare you betray!" Princess Pinghu, no matter how pampered she was, she was someone who grew up in the palace, and why didn't she understand what happened, she shouted angrily.
"The immortal old widow, hand over the token in your hand!" Qu Li flashed Wang Yan's move, drew his knife and slashed again. At this time, dozens of people dressed as officers and soldiers poured out of the army and horse division. Attacked Gu Yuqi and the eldest princess.
Gu Yuqi had been on guard for a long time. The five city soldiers and horses were in charge of the gates of the capital. After dark, the gates were closed. If there was no inner response, how could the thieves open the gates so quickly. So on the way here, Gu Yuqi was already thinking about whether the people from the Five Cities Soldiers and Horse Division had already joined Yunxuan. When she saw the box in the yard, she had already made up her mind. Where is the box belonging to the soldiers and horses of the Five Cities? The box is small and exquisite, with gems inlaid on it. Which yamen would use such a gorgeous box to store things, it seems like something from some noble mansion in the capital.
This box must have been snatched from someone else's house. The soldier was dragging another box just now. Although the box looks ordinary, it is unbelievably heavy. How can an ordinary military secretary be so heavy? It's loaded with gold and silver stuff.
The soldiers of the five cities are also taking advantage of the fire!
