Sheng Xiangxun left the palace and headed straight for the outer city with his guards. But just after leaving the inner imperial city, he found that the official road was blocked by a group of Imperial College students.
If you look closely, you will see that there are two groups of students fighting together. One group is the so-called descendants of the thirteenth surnamed family, and the other group is... duh! His eldest daughter!
"Sister Anthra!" Sheng Xiangxun was confused as he watched a group of students headed by his eldest daughter confront each other with all kinds of strange "weapons" in their hands.
"Third Master, this is too noisy. Third Miss can't hear it!" The guard pulled the reins and calmed the horse that shocked the crowd. Come in, let’s take the third lady back to the house!”
While talking for a moment, the students of the Imperial College were already fighting together.
Compared with the well-prepared students of the 13th surname, the weapons of Sister An'er's group are much simpler. They have ladles, mops, brooms, teaching rulers, and boards. , and the ones with long chopsticks for holding fried things! The more capable ones have a big gourd and ladle in each hand!
"The third lady is holding a pair of sticks!" The guard who couldn't squeeze through simply stood on his horse and built a tent with his hands to broadcast live to Sheng Xiangxun.
Seeing this, Sheng Xiangxun wanted to do the same, but his horse had a bad temper. It kicked up and threw him to a pillar aside, letting him climb on the pillar to watch.
"..." Sheng Xiangxun ignored the argument with the horse and climbed to the top of the pillar in one breath, focusing on the front.
His eldest daughter in the melee was very neat in her attacks, targeting the opponent's weak points and clearing a large open area in a short time.
On the other hand, her classmates were hesitant and did not dare to take action.
You said that we are already at war with each other, why do you still consider the friendship between classmates and give the other party a chance to counterattack and provide assistance?
"It's outrageous! After all this, you still want to see us in the future? Isn't this putting pressure on my sister Yuan! Quick! Let's go!"
Seeing clearly the trajectory of the fight between the two groups, Sheng Xiangxun jumped directly onto his horse, shouted for the guards to follow, and then rushed towards the group of students: "Sister An!"
Sheng An was leading a team for the first time and was a little tired.
Although the students who stood up today are loyal to the emperor and patriotic, and have the courage to defend the imperial city, it is their first time to form a team, and everyone's tacit understanding is very lacking.
But forget it, what makes her even more depressed is that most of these classmates can't even fight. If it weren't for the support of Zheng Sanniang and the Ning sisters, they would have been suppressed by the other party.
Even so, she can't guarantee how long she can stop the other party! Those guys were all armed with knives and swords. If they weren't still students and lacked actual combat experience, they might have suffered battle losses.
Even now, many of her classmates have failed.
Just when she was thinking about whether to simply behead the leading student to shock the other party, she heard her father's shout from the distance.
When she was about to take a closer look, she saw her father speeding over with several guards!
Sister An's eyes suddenly lit up: "Sanniang, Yuanniang, lead the troops and sort them out!"
As soon as she shouted, Zheng Sanniang and Ning Yuanniang immediately blew their whistles.
When the whistle sounded, the people in their team remembered their previous agreement and hurriedly exited the battle.
"Hmph! It's like this, why bother to endure hardship!" The first of the thirteen students stood in the inner circle and did not pay attention to the movement outside. When he saw the students who were blocking him from evacuating, he did not hesitate to fight. He shook his long sword and was about to rush towards the middle city. As long as they attack from outside and inside, they can open the gate of the middle city and welcome the arrival of the Qi army.
But before he could tell his classmates to follow him, he heard a burst of exclamations and wails from behind.
Turning around, he saw five or six people riding horses, waving whips and swords, rushing into their team unscrupulously.
These men slashed left and right, scattering their team in an instant and injuring most of his men!
"You!" Seeing the other party rushing out of the crowd, then immediately turning back and charging towards him again brandishing his whip and sword, he finally got scared.
The two were fighting so hard that he could hardly move, and his ears were filled with all kinds of familiar and unfamiliar cries.
The great fear made him unable to think for a moment, and he could only watch a whip shadow approaching from far away, getting bigger and bigger in front of his eyes, and then his vision went dark, and everything was unclear.
"Hey!" Sheng Xiangxun watched in amazement as the other party passed out faster before the whip came down. He couldn't help but patted the horses and looked around, sighing in wonder, "My whip rarely fails! It shows that this is also a capable person. !”
"Dad! Why are you here?" Sheng Ran watched her guards frighten the mob for several rounds until they screamed and dropped their armor. She stopped looking any further and ran towards her father excitedly.
"I'm leaving the palace to find your sister!" Sheng Xiangxun jumped off his horse and took a closer look at his eldest daughter. He was relieved to see that she was fine except for being excited.
At this moment, his bodyguards were holding sleeve crossbows to scare the Imperial Academy students who were about to escape.
"Squat down! Everyone squat down!" Seeing this, Zheng Sanniang led people to help manage the surrendered students.
The two parties finally counted the number of people, and were surprised to find that there were quite a few people following the students with the thirteenth surname!
While everyone looked at each other, there was also some indescribable excitement and joy.
"Where are you gentlemen from the Imperial College? I remember that the Imperial College is also protected by guards?"
Sheng Xiangxun was puzzled as to why in such a large Imperial College, only a group of students stood up in the end.
"These gangsters actually drugged the gentlemen! We only found out when they encouraged everyone to follow them out and the guards also made the spy unconscious!" Sheng Ran looked at the Imperial College worriedly, "It's a good thing that I'm a spy. The guards must leave early, otherwise, we may not be able to confront you until you show up with your people."
When Sheng Xiangxun heard what she said, he immediately felt uneasy: "It's not safe in the middle city or outside the city. It's better for you to stay in the Imperial College! As long as you guard all the entrances and exits, you'll be safe when the chaos in the court is calmed down." . I asked a few of them to stay. One, they can help you investigate the situation inside, the other, they can help you ask the doctor to wake up your husband and the guards, and they can also help you resist the attack of the rebels."
Sheng Ran heard about the chaos outside from her father. She was frightened and couldn't help but miss her family.
Then she thought that her father had just said that she was looking for her sister, so she nervously pulled her father to ask.
Although Sheng Xiangxun didn't want her to worry, he also knew that his eldest daughter was smart and couldn't get over it by making excuses at will, so he could only briefly explain the reason.
When Sheng Ran heard the last part, she bit her nails unconsciously.
"It's okay! It's okay! Sister Yuan must be okay!"
She looked at her father in panic: "I'll go find her with you!"
"That can't be done!" Sheng Xiangxun refused without even thinking about it.
He could risk his life for his little daughter, but he couldn't let his eldest daughter do the same.
"You are right here in the Imperial College. Don't go anywhere! Sister Yuan is very clever. She may have gone around the middle city. What if I find you in the Imperial College and you are not here?"
His reason was completely illogical, but he and Sister An, who were obsessed with caring, firmly believed in this possibility.
And Sheng Yuan, who they were thinking about, was currently in the stable with Anyu and Lu Sheng, looking eye to eye with an adult who called himself King Cheng.
