Xiaoyao Xiaojunhou

Chapter 232
"Ha ha ha ha……"

Xue Yuan recovered, with a sad smile on his face, and shouted in a hoarse voice: "Zhu Xiuyuan... you care so much about this daughter of 'Kfu', between you... haha... I'm afraid there will be..."

"what!"

The anger in Zhu Xiuyuan's chest exploded, as if his chest was about to burst.

With trembling hands, he used all his strength to grasp the handle of the sword on the waist of a general next to him, pulled it out with all his strength, and then used all his strength to stab the shining sword into Xue Yuan's heart...

puff!
The broadsword goes in from the front and comes out from the back.

There was a blood groove on the big knife, and Xue Yuan's blood spurted out like free tomato juice...

"Uh... hiccup..."

Xue Yuan's hoarse voice stopped, his lips wriggled, and streams of bright red blood flowed out, but he could not speak.

He lowered his head slowly and looked at himself.

Then, Xue Yuan moved all over, and then died.

The entire weight of his body was borne by the generals holding his arms on his left and right.

Zhu Xiuyuan held the handle of the big sword with both hands, still furious.

This scene shocked everyone present from ear to ear.

……

Outside Jiangzhou City.

A farm three miles to the south.

This was once the place where the Xue family secretly trained dead soldiers.

Not anymore.

While Zhu Xiuyuan and others were attacking the Xue family mansion, Dong Cheng, the old beggar, and another deputy general sent by King Poyang, led by a thousand royal family generals and more than 200 Yamen state soldiers, besieged the farm.

The siege of the farm, although fierce, was relatively simple.

Because the generals from the Thousand Prince's Palaces will go with their bows and arrows.

Although there were many dead soldiers in this farm, they were not men with golden bells and iron shirts. Faced with the rain of arrows shot by more than 1000 generals in turn, they could not stop them with their personal bravery alone.

It is true that these dead soldiers can be regarded as masters if taken alone.

But their personal bravery was not good enough to withstand the rain of arrows.

After several rounds of arrows, these dead soldiers were already [-]% injured.

Then the generals lined up and went on the field with their long spears in hand, and they swept past!
Facing the organized military formation, ordinary people really can't stop it.

Of course, as this place is a secret training ground for dead soldiers, there are naturally top experts taking charge.

This kind of top master can hardly cause harm to them, whether it is an arrow formation or the following military formation.

But don't forget, Dong Cheng is not only accompanied by family generals and state soldiers, but also old beggars!
Once the old beggar made a move, the so-called top masters could only block ten moves at most. After ten moves, they all died at the hands of the old beggar.

Although the battle to attack the Xue family farm was fierce, it was relatively simple and ended quickly.

Dong Cheng also obtained key evidence that the Xue family raised dead soldiers.

……

Today is not an ordinary day for Jiangzhou.

That evening.

A soldier ran out of Poyang Prince's Mansion quickly. He had a small five-color flag on his back and a bamboo tube slung around his waist. He was walking in a hurry.

He stepped out of the palace gate with his front foot, stepped on a fast horse with his back foot, and immediately whipped away.

He didn't even stop for a moment.This soldier is actually an ancient "courier", also known as a "postman".

However, Chen Guo's post offices were different from those recorded in official history. Post offices, including post stations, were actually a kind of military institution.

The main purpose is to deliver "Tang Bao" which records military information, and incidentally "Di Bao" can also be delivered.

The bamboo tube slung around the waist of the postman is the object that needs to be delivered this time.

There are usually paper letters inside the bamboo tube.

Soon after the postman left, another postman hurried out of the palace gate and rode away on horseback.

But what this postman is carrying is not a bamboo tube, but a set of armor!
This armor is proof.

...The postmen rode fast horses and took the official land route. After setting off from the Poyang Palace, they passed through Pengze County, Dongzhi County, Guichi County, Wuhu County, and Dangtu County in order, and arrived in the capital at Chou the next day.

Chou hour refers to the period from one to three in the morning.

At this time, the city gates of the capital had long been closed, blocking all traffic inside and outside the city.

However, if it is an emergency military situation or an urgent official document delivered by a local official, it is not included in this list.

A small bamboo basket was placed on the city gate and hung with a rope.

After the postman put the bamboo tube into it, he pulled it up the city wall.

The general who defended the city picked up the bamboo tube and saw that it was the decree of King Poyang of Jiangzhou. He did not dare to neglect it and hurriedly handed it over to his subordinates and ordered it to be sent to the imperial city.

The bamboo tubes were sent to Chengtian Gate in the south of the imperial city, and were also sent into the imperial city through hanging baskets.

When the general stationed at Chengtian Gate saw that it was King Poyang's order, he did not dare to neglect it and hurriedly ordered people to send it to the Forbidden City.

After the bamboo tube was sent into the Forbidden City through the Meridian Gate, it was taken by a young eunuch who specialized in this job and rushed to Qin'an Hall.

But when the young eunuch came to the entrance of Qin'an Palace, he hesitated again.

It was already the ugly time at this time, and His Majesty the Emperor was expected to have fallen asleep soundly, so he went to deliver something at this time...

After struggling for a while, the little eunuch thought of a way.

He was not going to give it directly to His Majesty the Emperor, but first went to a little palace maid next to Concubine You and asked her to send a message and pass it on to His Majesty through Concubine You.

The little palace maid was usually on good terms with the little eunuch, so she got up, got dressed, and went to find out what was going on.

In fact, she also knew that usually at this time... the Imperial Concubine and Your Majesty would not be sleeping yet, and would still be having fun...

Sure enough, Emperor Chen and Concubine You really didn't sleep. They were still playing the piano, singing, drinking and having fun in the main hall of Qin'an Palace.

...While Concubine You came out to change her clothes, the bamboo tube was finally delivered to her.

Although Concubine You Gui is suspected of harming the country and the people, she does not know everything but a goblin who confuses the king.

When she saw that it was King Poyang's order, Zhu Xiuyuan's shadow immediately appeared in her mind.

She vaguely felt that this matter might be related to Zhu Xiuyuan, so You Lihua opened the bamboo tube.

After opening the bamboo tube, several documents and letters were taken out...

You Lihua opened the wax paint on the envelope and took out a letter.

After reading it, You Lihua was already standing on the spot, her chest heaving and her whole body shivering.

rebellion!

It turns out that a major rebellion case was uncovered in Jiangzhou!
The letters contained in those envelopes were handwritten memorials written by the King of Poyang and the testimonies of the prisoners on trial!
And Yu Lihua did not foresee the mistake, and Zhu Xiuyuan was indeed involved in this matter.

In his memorial, King Poyang praised Zhu Xiuyuan: "In a critical moment, he killed Xue Yuan, the grandson of Xue Baochang, the main criminal in the conspiracy."

And expressed his merit for it: "This should be regarded as a great achievement!"
