The sun was rising high, and the brilliant sunshine in the sky quickly 'melted' the seven-day-long haze that had shrouded the sky above Guanzhong. On top of each gate tower of Daxing City, there stood a three-foot-tall gold-rimmed "Sui" "The red flag, the battle flag is as red as blood, reflecting the innocence of every soldier on the city.
The bright sunshine and fresh breath make people feel happy, but a solemn atmosphere permeates every corner of Daxing City. Although the East Third Gate, South Third Gate, and West Third Gate all have a side door for pedestrians to pass through, the defenders Replaced by twelve guards, the number of troops above and below the city was countless times greater than usual, and outside the city, there were many cavalry patrolling back and forth. The patrol troops in the city even patrolled back and forth on war horses.
Although the news of the Wannian Army's rebellion and the massacre of Yuwen Shu's family by the rebels was tightly sealed, the people were not stupid. As long as they saw a group of strong soldiers with bright helmets and strong bodies, their faces were expressionless. As I walked through the main streets and streets in the city, I realized that something big was going to happen, so I consciously hid at home to avoid unnecessary trouble.
Prince Wei's Mansion had already received Yang Ji's order, and all the doors were closed, leaving only the left door of the main entrance open.
House slaves were deployed on and behind the gates of each entrance to the mansion. In the square in front of the mansion, a rare sight of two hundred warriors wearing armor appeared. These warriors held spears in one hand and swords in the other. Handle, watching every move around him vigilantly.
In the main hall of Xuanwu Hall, Dugu Min, who is wearing a warrior uniform and has a heroic appearance, is sitting on the throne. On the table in front of her, there is a sword and a repeating crossbow. On the left and right below, Su Yunniang, Xiao Ying, Liu Rumei and Pei Shuying, sitting on the left and right of the door, were two teams of Suzaku guards.
The entire hall exuded a murderous aura.
Compared with the Suzaku Guards who were waiting in full formation, the masters sitting at the back of the hall had a relaxed atmosphere. Dugu Min looked at the three daughters-in-law talking leisurely and contentedly about some anecdotes. Temperament, can't help but smile happily.
This is her daughter-in-law, this is the spirit and mentality that the "head" of Prince Wei's palace should have. If she panics when something happens, how will she help her son take care of the family business in the future? How can we support this huge family?
However, Dugu Min was also a little curious about their performance. Liu Rumei had been on the battlefield and had seen big scenes, so it was not surprising that she behaved so calmly. However, Xiao Ying and Pei Shuying had no experience in fighting. How could they have such a calm attitude?
Dugumin, like Yang Ji, would ask questions whenever she had questions. She said to her three daughters-in-law: "Rumei has been on the battlefield and has experienced all kinds of hardships. She is not afraid of fighting or timid. I can understand it; but Aying, Aying, why do you two have such a mentality? Are you not worried at all? "
Xiao Ying didn't expect her mother-in-law to ask such a question. She was stunned for a moment, and then smiled sweetly: "Auntie, in the beginning, as soon as my husband went to the battlefield, I was so worried that I couldn't sleep all day long. Maybe he would stay in Liangzhou for a long time. I was tainted with the heroic spirit of Liangzhou people; maybe it’s because Lang Jun has never fought a battle that he couldn’t win. Over time, I got used to it, and I didn’t think that Lang Jun would lose. This time, Lang Jun was prepared and there was no chance of failure. It makes sense, if that’s the case, what do I have to worry about?”
Dugu Min nodded frequently and said with a smile: "It seems that we two are the same. At first, you, Aye, led an army to the north to rob the Turks. I was also very worried at first. As time went by, got used to."
Su Yuniang next to her said with a smile: "Our Yang family is a military family. Men, women, old and young are somewhat capable of protecting themselves, and not being afraid of danger is the most basic quality. The princess comes from the Xiao family, which has a family of poetry and literature. After she came to our family, she became more and more... She has the temperament of a mistress of a military family."
The compliments from the two elders made Xiao Ying a little embarrassed. She blushed and said, "Auntie Su, I'm actually quite worried about Mr. Lang, but it's just not as serious as before."
Dugumin said happily: "This is normal." Then he turned to Pei Shuying and asked: "Aying, what about you?"
Pei Shuying blinked her big eyes and said with a shy smile: "Auntie, Aunt Su, the eldest lady said everything I wanted to say."
Everyone laughed when they heard this.
At this moment, Liuxu walked in quickly, wearing a luxurious white robe, looking chic and elegant, and her face was radiant. She may have run a lot, with a faint blush on her face, she walked to the front, He saluted like a man and said: "Princess, the patrol soldiers on the street said that the imperial court is holding an offensive and defensive drill in the capital to test the combat effectiveness and adaptability of each army, and ask every household to stick to their doors and not to cause chaos in the streets. Let's go. And our people sent news that a group of rebel soldiers broke into Yuwen Mansion and killed everyone they met."
Dugu Min asked in a solemn voice: "Which Yuwen mansion? Is it the princess mansion of Princess Guangping and Yuwen Jingli, the princess mansion of Princess Nanyang and Yuwen Shiji? Or is it Yuwen Shu or Yuwen Bi?"
Liuxu said: "It's Yu Wenshu's mansion."
"Then it's okay!" Dugu Min breathed a sigh of relief and asked again: "Are those grandsons of the Yuwen family dead?"
After everyone heard this, they couldn't help but look at Liu Xu expectantly.
The thinking of the two generations and five women is relatively simple, and they are not great enough to tolerate and sympathize with their enemies. In their eyes, except for Yuwen, who is half of the Yang family, no one in the whole family is a good person; especially after the fraud in the military examinations occurred, the two sides have become irreconcilable political enemies and irresolvable enemies. Yang Ji is in the official position, but he can't kill their family, so what is left behind is a large group of powerful enemies. If things go wrong, he will be stabbed several times by this group of powerful enemies in the future. .
If Yuwen Mansion is slaughtered by the rebels this time, it will definitely be a good thing with no harm to everyone in the palace.
It doesn't matter who did it.
Liuxu shook her head and replied: "Princess, Yuwen Mansion is under martial law, no one can enter, and the whole city is under martial law, and our people are not allowed to wander around, so I don't know the situation of the Yuwen family. But I heard from people that this There were one hundred and one soldiers who broke into Yuwen Mansion. They were all well-trained soldiers who were not afraid of death. They cooperated with each other tacitly and looked more like dead soldiers than dead soldiers. Come to think of it, ordinary slaves and female scrolls in Yuwen Mansion , a lot of people will die.”
Dugu Min nodded and said: "This rebel army is clearly a revenge soldier for Yu Wenshu, and they dare to kill in the capital in broad daylight. They are obviously ready to die in battle. If people are not afraid of death, they will explode. With unimaginable fighting power and lethality, I'm afraid Yuwen Mansion has been killed with mountains of corpses and rivers of blood."
There was a hint of worry in Pei Shuying's eyes, and she said crisply: "Auntie, since there is chaos outside, should we close the front door?"
Dugumin thought about the previous arrangements and what Liuxu said, and said: "The city patrol troops have been dispatched. I think the court has been fully prepared. The large army cannot enter the city, and the small group of rebels cannot move our home. Let's stay." A side door is also convenient for sending and receiving messages. But don’t be careless. Send the order to make everyone alert. "
"Obey!" Several Suzaku guards immediately ran out of the hall and conveyed orders to the soldiers of each door.
Dugu Min pondered for a long time and then ordered to Liu Xu: "Girl Liu, ask the general manager to send Zhu Tong to lead a team of Xuanwu guards in the name of the palace to go to the patrol officer's office to inquire about the news. If there is any news about the movements of Vajra slaves, the latest news , report back immediately.”
Although Zhu Can is an official of the royal palace, he is now a seventh-rank soldier who has joined the army and has already eaten "imperial food". In addition, as a popular official of the palace of Wei, he can naturally enter the imperial city where the patrol officer office is located. .
"In addition, send out a few more teams to try to find out about the family records of Liangzhou officials. If they need defense, report back immediately." Dugu Minfu ordered again.
"Here!" LiuXu responded and turned around.
Dugumin looked at Liuxu's leaving figure, but his heart had already flown to Xianyang City.
Although she has never been in charge of a soldier or held an official position, as a member of the royal family, how could she not know that the rebels would cause a series of bad effects on one side? How could one not know the risks faced by the son of a weak general?
I only hope that my son will achieve a brilliant record again as his daughter-in-law said.
