Chapter 461: The Two Kings of Jin and Yan
No. 15, Zhangde Street, Dagongfang, Yu Mansion.
With a loud bang, the huge gilded door was smashed open and fell to the ground with a bang. The neat bluestone slabs raised clouds of dust like huge waves.
The sudden loud noise caught almost all the rich people in Zhangde Street off guard.
The doorman and the guard became nervous. What happened?
When they came out to check, the scene before them shocked them even more.
The gate of Governor Yu Tongyuan's residence was completely broken open, and a dozen guards fell to the ground in front of the door, holding their chests and wailing.
You can also see the backs of a group of people rushing in.
what happened?
A moment of confusion swept over almost everyone on Zhangde Street!
However, the current owner of No. 15 Zhangde Street, Yu Qilun, was not at a loss at all.
He hid in the innermost room of the mansion, terrified to the extreme.
The news that the Bai Ri Chi Huo Gang and Zeng Yanfu were arrested by the Beijing Army,
He was almost the first to receive it, and at first he was a bit lucky.
He felt that Lu Yunyi would not come to him, at least that's what he thought the moment before.
But now, the scene before him pulled him back from heaven.
He curled up in the corner of the bed, wrapped in the quilt.
Listening to the fighting and roars coming closer outside,
Unprecedented fear swept over him, causing him to sweat all over in an instant.
Even his arms, which only ached slightly on rainy days, began to ache now.
"How could it be so fast? Does he know the rules?"
Yu Qilun trembled and gnashed his teeth.
He hated Zeng Yanfu for his incompetence and blamed him for being caught so quickly! !
He hated the old servant. What a bad idea he came up with!
He also hated himself for leaving any hope and not running away earlier.
In this fear, the fighting outside the door gradually subsided.
The courtyard seemed to have returned to its former tranquility, and the sky had completely darkened.
The moonlight squeezed in through the window lattice, bringing a hint of light to the house.
The bed he was lying on was already shrouded in darkness, with only his eyes flashing with fear, standing out particularly in the darkness.
The room was quiet, eerily quiet, with only the sound of slight breathing.
After an unknown amount of time, faint footsteps sounded from outside the door.
Da da da.
Every step seemed to step on Yu Qilun's heart, making him hold his breath.
suddenly!
A streak of black suddenly appeared on the thin window paper of the door, blocking the window frame! Blocking the moonlight from above!
It was a figure, an extremely dark figure!
"what"
Yu Qilun shook violently, and was frightened to the point of his soul almost flying out of his body.
Beads of sweat the size of beans flowed down his hair, and his body tried to shrink back as much as possible.
He hid himself in the corner, pulled up the quilt to cover most of his face, leaving only half of his eye, staring at the dark shadow on the door.
squeak--
The creaking sound of the door slowly began to sound!
Yu Qilun suddenly closed his eyes and his whole body tensed up.
After a while, he was slightly stunned, and slowly opened his eyes.
The door was still closed, and the blurry figure at the door was frozen into a still picture, without any movement.
"Huff. Huff." The breathing sound was clear and heavy.
Yu Qilun's heart suddenly tightened, and fear spread along his spine like ice.
He could almost hear the sound of his blood rushing.
Breathing sound? He was clearly holding his breath, so where did the breathing sound come from?
His throat was dry, like a desert scorched by the scorching sun, longing for a little moisture.
But he dared not make the slightest movement, for fear of breaking the suffocating silence and bringing about even more unspeakable terror.
He could only roll his eyeballs vigorously and look at the blind spot of his vision.
If he remembered correctly, there was a window there, to the right of the bed.
He turned slowly.
He saw it! He saw it!
A pale, distorted face had quietly come to the bedside at some point, separated from Yu Qilun by only a thin layer of gauze.
In the moonlight, the skin on that face was an unhealthy grayish-white and covered with tiny cracks, like an ancient sculpture forgotten by time, every detail revealing death.
A pair of empty and lifeless eyes seemed to penetrate the veil, staring straight at him, with a strange smile at the corner of his mouth.
"Huhu. Huh."
After seeing this face, every inch of Yu Qilun's muscles were tensed to the extreme, and his pupils expanded to the limit due to extreme fear. Everything in the darkness was infinitely magnified, becoming distorted and hideous!
Feeling the heat coming towards me,
He knew.
Breathe, breathe here!!
Yu Qilun's skin was instantly covered with fine beads of sweat.
A chill came from the depths of my soul, more biting than any other cold.
Yu Qilun couldn't take his eyes off it, as if he was firmly attracted by some force!
"You are here."
"what--"
The candles were lit and light filled the room again.
Lu Yunyi stood in front of the bed, looking at Yu Qilun, who was unconscious and covered in feces and urine, with a look of disgust and weirdness on his face.
He looked at Zhang Fu, who was standing beside him and had a pale complexion and a skinny figure, and asked:
"What did you do to him?"
Zhang Fu stood there blankly, with a dull look in his eyes, and shook his head in confusion:
"Sir, I didn't do anything to him. After I found him,
He let out a cry of "Ah" and passed out. "
Zhang Fu's young face was full of grievances, and he kept scratching his head.
He felt as if he had messed up the first time he followed the general to do something.
Lu Yunyi looked at Zhang Fu helplessly and pointed at his face:
"What's wrong with your face? There's so much dust on it."
Zhang Fu immediately jumped up, with a simple and honest look on his face:
"My lord, I must have run into a spider web while climbing the wall."
"Alright, alright, break his hands and let's go."
Lu Yunyi waved his hand, took out his arm to plug his nose, gave an order, and turned away.
"okay!"
After receiving the order, Zhang Fu began to look around the room, and soon he saw the sturdy mahogany chair legs.
Just as he was about to take it, Gong Xianzhi stopped him:
"Hey~ what are you doing? Come and help him."
Zhang Fu was stunned to see that the tall man had already placed Yu Qilun's forearm on the edge of the bed, with his palm hanging down.
"What are you standing there for? Hurry up." Gong Xianzhi urged.
"Oh, okay, here I come." Zhang Fu ran over and pressed down Yu Qilun's elbow.
"A little further."
Zhang Fu moved his arm forward and pressed down on the upper part of Yu Qilun's forearm.
Gong Xianzhi nodded with satisfaction: "Not bad, it's pressed well."
He took out the long sword from his waist, held it in his hand together with the scabbard, and gestured at the half-exposed arm.
Zhang Fu’s eyes widened suddenly, knowing what would happen next!
He tilted his head, not daring to look.
"Look, there are so many such things on the battlefield."
Gong Xianzhi urged nonchalantly, waiting until Zhang Fu reluctantly turned his gaze back.
Gong Xianzhi's eyes became extremely resolute.
He took a deep breath, and his muscles were like a taut bowstring, ready to strike.
The atmosphere in the room froze instantly. Even the air seemed to stop flowing. Everyone's eyes were fixed on the room!
Gong Xianzhi's eyes were fixed on Yu Qilun's exposed forearm.
The thin blood vessels there were clearly visible under the pale skin, appearing particularly fragile.
"one two Three!"
Gong Xianzhi counted silently in his mind, and then swung the long sword and scabbard in his hand with an almost cruel speed and force.
"call--"
"Crack!"
A sharp sound of breaking wind was heard in the air!
This was followed by the sound of bones cracking under the weight!
Clear and piercing, like the echo of a twig snapping in winter!
The arm was twisted at an unnatural angle, the broken bones penetrated the skin, revealing the white bones, and blood gushed out like a fountain, staining the sheets red and splashing on the faces and lapels of Gong Xianzhi and Zhang Fu.
When Zhang Fu witnessed this scene, his stomach churned and he almost vomited.
At this moment, the pain made Yu Qilun suddenly open his eyes.
But the sight of the bone thorns instantly overwhelmed him.
He let out an "Ah——" and fainted again.
Gong Xianzhi pouted, smeared the blood on Yu Qilun, tilted his head towards Zhang Fu and said, "Let's go."
"okay."
He was stunned for a long time before he reacted, then quickly stood up and followed.
In front of the Yu Mansion, Lu Yunyi hummed a little tune and walked out with an arrogant step!
Seeing him come out, many of the people on Zhangde Street in Dagongfang who were secretly watching him withdrew their eyes and looked fearful.
It was him!
Young people act impulsively without considering the consequences!!
Likewise, when he came out,
A middle-aged general in armor who was waiting at the door stepped forward quickly and bowed:
"Your humble servant, Bian Ruijie, captain of the Jinwu Left Guard, greets General Lu."
Lu Yunyi was stunned, and glanced at the dozen or so soldiers beside him, and said in a slightly joking tone:
"Lord Bian, you want to capture me with just a few men?"
As soon as these words came out, the soldiers following Lu Yunyi suddenly became murderous.
Although he was not wearing armor, a fierce aura was still in the air.
Bian Ruijie was stunned, looked at the collapsed gate of Yu Mansion, and said with a wry smile:
"General Lu, you misunderstood. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has summoned you to the Crown Prince's Mansion."
Now it was Lu Yunyi's turn to be stunned.
He looked at the mess at the gate of the mansion, and his heart began to beat fast when he thought of the miserable situation inside.
"You are not lying to me, are you?"
This question stumped Bian Ruijie.
He couldn't imagine who in the capital would dare to falsely convey the prince's instructions.
He laughed dryly and explained:
"Hearing that General Lu was in a hurry to enter the city, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ordered me to come and summon you."
Lu Yunyi thought about it carefully and decided that no one would dare to falsely spread the imperial edict, so he nodded:
"Lead the way."
"Yes."
Bian Ruijie breathed a sigh of relief.
For some reason, facing this decisive and ruthless general, he felt a little nervous for no reason.
The group left in a mighty manner.
The Prince's Mansion was not far from the Imperial City and the large workshop, and they arrived there in less than a quarter of an hour.
Along the way, Bian Ruijie was extremely worried and often looked back to check.
They were afraid that this fearless general would run away.
But fortunately, he didn't run away.
Lu Yunyi was also somewhat uneasy, and kept thinking about how to deal with it.
Although he was right, his actions were cruel after all, so he was bound to be scolded.
Arriving at the Prince's Mansion, Lu Yunyi was stunned.
The defense of the Prince's Palace and various government offices had quotas.
Now, there are more soldiers in armor in front of the Prince's Mansion, which looks particularly solemn and murderous.
It doesn't look like the Prince's Mansion, but more like a Governor's Mansion.
This made Lu Yunyi's heart beat fast again. He thought he wouldn't be attacked by executioners as soon as he entered.
But soon, he realized that he was worrying too much.
I saw a little kid sitting at the door, eyes slightly closed, head nodding.
Several maids and eunuchs followed beside him with fear and trepidation on their faces, afraid that they would get bumped or hurt.
Lu Yunyi recognized him.
The third son of Crown Prince Zhu Biao, Zhu Yunhu!
Seeing Lu Yunyi coming, an elderly eunuch beside Zhu Yunhuan breathed a sigh of relief:
"Your Highness, General Lu is here."
Zhu Yunxun raised his head sleepily.
When he saw an acquaintance, his eyes suddenly lit up and all his sleepiness disappeared!
He exerted all his strength to sit up from the doorstep, then patted his butt, took two steps forward with his short legs, and asked crisply:
"But General Lu?"
Lu Yunyi took two quick steps and bowed: "I am Lu Yunyi, your humble servant, and I am honored to meet the Second Prince."
Compared to a year ago, Zhu Yunhuan has grown much taller and more mature.
The whole person stood there like a little adult, his big dark eyes rolling around and a smile on the corners of his mouth.
"General Lu, please get up. You're welcome.
When Grandpa Hei left, he told me that you would bring me a gift when you come back."
Having said this, Zhu Yunxun rubbed his hands and laughed, his white teeth were particularly obvious under the dim light.
Lu Yunyi was stunned, then he also laughed.
“Black Grandpa” is naturally Wang Bi, Marquis of Dingyuan, who has always gotten along well with the children in the capital.
"Your Highness, I hurried into the city today, and I am wearing my fighting uniform.
The gift is still in the barracks. Shall I send it to you tomorrow?"
Zhu Yunhuan's eyes flashed with disappointment, but he still nodded repeatedly, took two steps forward, and stretched out his finger.
"You can't lie to me. Let's make a pinky promise."
"Hahaha."
Lu Yunyi laughed heartily, bent down and stretched out his finger.
"Here, pull the hook."
Hook, hang yourself, and don't change for a hundred years.
"yeah!"
Zhu Yunhuan opened his hands and shouted like a victorious general.
His eyes sparkled as he looked up at Lu Yunyi and asked in a low voice:
"General Lu, who are you fighting with?"
"Uh"
Lu Yunyi was stunned, looking at the eager light on Zhu Yunhuan's face.
He suddenly felt that this might be the advantage of having a good grandfather, as he had been warlike since childhood.
"I've already taken care of all the bad guys in the fight."
Lu Yunyi lowered his voice and whispered in a voice that only the two of them could hear.
Zhu Yunxun raised his eyebrows, laughed, squinted his eyes, and nodded repeatedly:
"Okay, okay, grandpa said you're good at fighting."
At this time, the old eunuch, who became more and more frightened the more he listened, stepped forward, supported Zhu Yunhuan, and smiled apologetically at Lu Yunyi:
"General Lu, His Highness heard that you were coming and waited here.
Now that we have met the person, please don’t let His Royal Highness wait anxiously.”
Without waiting for Lu Yunyi to speak, Zhu Yunxun swung his little arms and said in a very tough tone:
"No need to help me, I'm already this big."
The eunuch stepped back quickly.
Zhu Yunhuan looked at Lu Yunyi and said very seriously:
"General Lu, I'm going back first. You go see father."
He also stretched out his little finger and waved it in front of him, as if to say don't forget to bring the gift.
Lu Yunyi smiled and nodded repeatedly:
"Your Highness, please go back and rest. I will definitely send the things to you tomorrow!"
"Let's go."
Zhu Yunhuan waved his hand, followed his father's example, put his hands behind his back, and left with a group of eunuchs and maids.
Lu Yunyi looked at his back and suddenly felt that it was nice to have such a child.
Bian Ruijie, who was standing by, watched this scene with his own eyes, and was filled with envy!
"I have been on duty here for half a year and have never said a word to him. How come His Highness is waiting here when he just arrived in the capital?"
Bian Ruijie wailed in his heart, and forced himself to suppress the sadness in his heart. He turned sideways and made a gesture of invitation:
"General Lu, please."
The two of them quickly passed through layers of inspection and arrived at the study in the Prince's Mansion.
As they walked along, Lu Yunyi was secretly surprised.
Many of the arrangements in the Prince's Mansion looked so familiar.
Including the location of the secret sentry, how to coordinate with the secret sentry, how to protect the corners and high places, etc.
He knew that it was the booklet he gave to the general that worked, and this made him breathe a sigh of relief.
+1 for goal achieved.
Arriving at the door, Bian Ruijie communicated with the guard and checked again.
After checking for a while, Lu Yunyi was told that he could go in.
The door opened, revealing a eunuch who came inside and greeted them with a smile.
Lu Yunyi straightened his clothes and walked in!
As soon as he stepped into the study, the dim light took his eyes a moment to adjust.
The room was filled with a heavy smell, like the stale smell of years of collection of books, mixed with a hint of tension.
Soon, he was stunned.
I saw three eyes from above looking over.
In the center is the crown prince Zhu Biao.
The two men on his left and right were both very imposing and were around thirty years old.
At this time, the eunuch came over and whispered:
"On the left is His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin, and on the right is His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan."
