Spring and Autumn I Am King

Chapter 921: neighbor on fire

The enemy had broken through the wall and attacked Kong's house from east to west. Zilu had people set fire to the gate of the house to prevent them from entering, but people kept rushing in, and he and the few diners who were still able to fight kept resisting their onslaught, like a lonely fishing boat under the impact of a huge wave.

Fortunately, Zilu has excellent swordsmanship. This kind of battle is limited to street battles before the eyes. He was born in a light chivalry and fought in the streets since he was a child.

Under the shadow of the sword, those who dare to draw their swords towards Zilu will die if they do not escape.

Under their terrified gazes, Zi Lu shouted loudly, swung his sword to kill, his arms turned red to the elbows, and glowed with blood under the rays of the sun.

He was a little drunk.

This is the frenzy of fighting. After learning courtesy and benevolence under the master, how long has it been since he experienced it? Time blurs, slows, even pauses, past and future disappear together, fears, thoughts, and even bodies cease to exist.

Only this situation, this moment! He couldn't feel the pain of the wound, the heaviness of the armor, or the sweat dripping into his eyes. In fact, he no longer feels, no longer thinks, only fights, only opponents, one, the next, the next... The enemy panics, and Zilu is alive and well. Even though death is by his side, why should he be afraid of their slow spears, dance and sing, and laugh loudly, this is Zhongyou who was drinking and singing wildly!

He was intoxicated by the slaughter. At this time, benevolence, righteousness, and wisdom were useless. Only the most instinctive bravery was left, allowing Zilu to be injured and not die in the melee.

But no matter how brave warriors are, there will be times when they will be exhausted.

They had already retreated to the main hall of the Kong family's mansion. Inside were all the people that Zilu wanted to protect, his lord and mother, as well as the wife and prince of Wei.

The long sword in his hand became heavier and heavier, and there were only a few people left. The rest either died or surrendered. An arrow roared and nailed him to the doorpost.

The blood flowed from the shoulder blade position, Zi Lu found that he didn't even have the strength to draw the arrow, so he could only watch the man on the opposite side draw the bow again, aiming at him.

The visitor did not relax the strings immediately, because Zhuqing had the chance to win, and he could show the nobility of the nobles in front of the crowd. He was Gongshumu, the concubine of the Gongshu clan, and Zilu had several dealings with him during his stay in the Wei Kingdom.

With a smug smile on the corner of his mouth: "Zilu, you are a strong man. Today, you should die under my arrow. It is also an honor for a common man to be killed by the Qing family."

"If you want to kill, kill, stop talking nonsense!" Zilu has seen the most noble Li Min, and he has also seen the most despicable doctor, he does not think it is an honor.

But maybe that's what happened in my life. He closed his eyes and waited for fate to come.

But after the bowstring sounded, he didn't feel the slightest pain. When he opened his eyes, he saw Gongshu Mu swayed a few times and fell to the ground, with a feather arrow piercing through the armor behind him...

...

"Uncle!"

Zhu Qing's family soldiers were shocked and looked around in a daze to find the murderer.

"It's not a shame for the Qing family to die under the commoners." There was a burst of laughter from the roof above, Zigong looked up and saw a familiar person.

With that tall and thin figure, that huge bow, and that skilled archery skills, who else is there besides his junior brother Yan Gao?

Yan Gao did not come alone. Behind him, Zhao Juncai officers carrying quivers or holding crossbow machines climbed up to the roof and fired arrows at the soldiers in the courtyard. After fighting all night, they were already tired and hungry. When victory was in sight, they were suddenly attacked, and they immediately ran away.

After the soldiers retreated, Yan Gao jumped down and walked to Zi Lu who was resting with his eyes closed, with a mocking smile on the corner of his mouth: "Senior Brother Zilu, why do you die? How do you live?"

Zi Lu weakly opened his eyes, he really didn't have the strength to joke with Yan Gao.

"Zijiao, what are you doing?"

Yan Gao had joined the Zhao family ten years ago, and now the official is getting bigger and bigger, leading Lu Guocai officials, and teaching recruits to learn archery in Qufu. How could he come to Weiguo?

"Nature came to save you."

Yan Gao stretched out his hand, pulled Zi Lu up, looked at his injury, and asked his subordinates to find some pieces of cloth to wrap Zi Lu up.

During this period, Zilu could only hear the noise outside, and the drums were briskly beating. This was the drum used for the marching charge. The cries of killing and begging for mercy swept in from the outside. It was Zhu Qing's family soldiers. They had already invaded Kong's house, but they were attacked by mysterious visitors and collapsed in less than a moment.

"As Zilu said, there will be a turning point at dawn!?"

The door of the main hall, which had been closed for a long time, opened, and Kong Li walked out with his father Kong Yu and his mother Bo Ji, in disbelief. Wei Hou's wife, Lu Jiang, followed her with red eyes, while the Crown Prince hugged her timidly, refusing to let go.

The vassals who were still alive came to report, saying that the soldiers of Zhuqing's family had been completely defeated, but outside the Confucius mansion, they were surrounded by an army, and those people's armor and soldiers were sharp, more than twice as strong as the soldiers of Zhuqing's family. The diners did not dare to resist.

"Well, it's time to come, go out with the old man to see." Kong Yu's face was not good, the mansion was full of corpses, and the strong smell of blood made these protectees pale and weak. Also vomited.

After walking out of the mansion, as soon as I looked up, there was a little red light in the north. It was the firelight of the new platform of the Wei Palace. The tall tower was twisted in the firelight, and the raised eaves were like a three-legged golden crow bathed in flames, eager to spread its wings.

Even though they were separated by several miles, they could still feel the scorching heat. The balm of the people, which had been restrained by more than ten generations of Weihou, had been burned all night, and it was not finished.

Outside the mansion, there were uniformly black armored soldiers, row after row, they carried away the corpses and searched the surrounding streets. The soldiers of Zhu Qing's family knelt down on the ground in dejection. Kong Yu also saw his political enemies Shi Pu, Beigong Xi, and others. They lost their former noble clan bearing and shivered under the coercion of weapons.

Kong Yu himself was not much better than them, and the bowmen on the roof were staring at them, so no one dared to act rashly, only the wounded Zilu still protected him with his sword.

At this moment, the sound of the bell also came from the other side of the city, and the deep roar of bronze sounded faster and faster, resounding through the streets and in the streets, spreading to every corner of Diqiu.

This is a warning bell, and a harbinger of the cessation of chaos.

Like the Kong family, everyone who survived the disaster quietly came to the door by the window and peeked out.

They saw a quiet army marching through the city, led by a group of horses and cavalry, with bright armor and flying banners, methodically dispersing the rioters who were still immersed in atrocities, arresting all the officials, and extinguishing the remaining flames, And occupied every tower and government.

After dividing into countless teams, this army is still very large, and their final target is Kong Yu's mansion.

Outside the mansion, the iron cavalry was like the wind, and the faint sound of horse hooves quickly turned into a deafening thunder. More than a hundred Zhao cavalry rushed in front of Kong Yu, Shi Pu and the others, and the horse hooves almost kicked them in the face. For a time, the sound of horses' hooves, the sound of weapons crashing, and the shouts of the soldiers formed a huge wave, suffocating everyone.

Among the stars holding the moon, a white horse with a black robe and a high crown appeared in front of them. He is the initiator of all this. Against the background of the fire of Xintai, he is like a mountain, pressing heavily on everyone's heart.

Kong Yu took a step back involuntarily, Bo Ji panicked, Lu Jiang bit his lip tightly, his face was pale, the prince shrank further back, his hands tightly grasped the corner of his mother's clothes, Shi Pu and the others turned their heads Buried lower.

The same is true for Kong Li. Although he is the same age as this person, he has also pushed cups and cups at the banquet, but until today, he realized that although the two are from the same family, the gap is so big. Fate was completely played by others, and an indescribable fear enveloped him, making his legs tremble, his teeth chattering, and the gurgling sound could even be heard by the deaf.

Only Zilu took a step forward and asked, "Zhao Shangqing, what's your purpose of leaving and returning?"

...

Seeing that Zilu was alive and well, Zhao Wuxi breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't have to change from an enemy to an enemy with Confucius, and he didn't have to make Confucius' face full of tears. You will wake up suddenly because of guilt.

He smiled and pointed to the burning new platform behind him and said, "The fire is so big that it can be seen from far away in the country of Lu. I am afraid it will bring disaster to the neighbors, so I specially brought people back to put out the fire."

"Fighting the fire? Shangqing really cares about neighboring countries, but I don't know who set the fire that almost destroyed Diqiu?"

Zhao Wuxi shook his head and said, "A visitor visited the master and saw that the chimney of the stove was straight and firewood was piled up beside him, so he advised the master to say: It's more crooked and the salary is moved far away, otherwise there will be fires. But The master didn't respond, but the master's house really caught fire..."

"The fire in Wei has accumulated for more than a day. I passed by Wei a few days ago, and I also persuaded Wei Hou to change his government and be careful about accumulating wages, that is, the nobles with ulterior motives. On the day of the day, the great chaos has already occurred, Weihou died and the country was in danger, and Jin, Wei, and Lu were allies, so naturally I can only clean up the mess."

He announced to the crowd: "Now the state of Wei is in chaos~lightnovelpub.net~ After today, until the order is reorganized, the Zhao family will take over all defenses of Emperor Qiu and the locality!"

"You!" Although Zilu was rescued by Zhao Wuxi to save his life, he was very indignant about his scheming to defend himself. For the benefit of the Zhao family, he put Diqiu in a dangerous situation. I don't know how many people died last night, and I don't know how many wives and families were separated. The hundreds of years of Wei Guo's savings were also destroyed.

Now, he has pushed everything clean, and as soon as he comes, he puts on a pair of eating images of swallowing the country. Really... He was about to scold him for being unkind, but he was held back.

"Zi Lu, this is not the attitude that the Master taught us to treat our saviors." Seeing that Zi Lu was going to be stupid, Yan Gao quickly stood up, pulled him aside, stopped him from continuing, and whispered in his ear: "Your retainer The duty is over, the next thing is not something we can intervene..."

After this little episode, Zhao Wuxi had time to look at the situation in front of him. His eyes stayed on the faces of Shipu, Sun Xiang, Bei Gongxi and others for a while, and then fell on Kong Yu, dismounted and walked to his side. , said with a smile:

"As long as Kong Qing is safe, dare to ask, where is Prince Wei?"
