Descendants of Pangu in the Great Desolation

Chapter 97
"Your Majesty is not well..." Liu Yuan was awakened by a cry in his deep sleep. When he got up and saw that it was Tian Shaowei, he hurriedly asked, "What's the matter, Shaowei?" The housekeeper Gui Er led men to wound the guards, rushed into the prison to rescue King Chang, and joined General Mei outside the city. The two men were attacking the east and west gates in two separate ways. The younger one had already dispatched all the imperial guards with soldier talismans. Stick to the east and west gates."

"What! This Li Liang has one more day to return to the city, and this King Chang has raised his troops. What can the lonely king do?" Liu Yuan was in a state of confusion when he heard that, he paced back and forth in the room, not knowing what to do. ?Liu Yuan suddenly thought of Situ Rui, and hurriedly ordered: "Shaowei, go and invite the Second Highness here." Tian Shaowei responded: "Yes, I'll go here, young one" and hurriedly turned and ran out.

After a stick of incense, Tian Shaowei brought Situ Rui to Yongfu Palace. Seeing Situ Rui, Liu Yuan said anxiously: "My dear brother Rui, the king of Chang has already raised his troops. What should we do?" Situ Rui hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, don't panic! , His Majesty first divided the three thousand guards in the palace into two thousand to support the east and west gates, and then sent the remaining one thousand guards to guard the palace gate, and then dispatched the two hundred inner masters to guard outside Yongfu Palace. I will send someone to contact General Li and ask him to come back to the city as soon as possible, as long as we wait for General Li to return, we can fight to the death with King Chang." Liu Yuan nodded and said: "Then do as Brother Rui said. Let's do it, Shaowei, hurry up and adjust the troops, and act separately according to the arrangement of the Second Highness. Also, you tell all the guards that it is the order of the lonely king, as long as they can hold King Chang and wait for General Li's army to return In the dynasty, the lonely king added officials and promotions to them, and their salary was increased three times." Tian Shaowei cupped his hands and replied, "I obey, the little ones will do it right away." After speaking, he opened the door and walked out of Yongfu Palace, towards the Guards Camp.

After Tian Shaowei left, Situ Rui turned around and left, went back to Qingfeng Pavilion to guard Yu Xin, and hung the small bell for communication outside the window. A quarter of an hour later, Meng Si'er came outside Qingfeng Pavilion and tapped on the window .When Situ Rui heard the knock, he hurriedly opened the door and went out, and said to Meng Si'er: "Meng Si'er, King Chang is now rebelling, and the main forces are attacking the east and west gates in two ways. The king asked you to come so that you hurry up Go and send a letter to Li Liang, telling him to come back quickly, or the original dynasty will change hands." Meng Si'er knew that the situation was urgent, and disappeared into the night after a reply.

"Your Majesty, the east gate has fallen..."

"Your Majesty, the west gate has been lost..." Two guards ran into Yongfu Palace one after the other, and Liu Yuan yelled: "Go out, a bunch of trash, they can't even guard a city gate. Get out, get out of here for the lonely king." Get out." The two guards scrambled and ran out.

"Your Majesty, don't be impatient, the city gate is lost, isn't the palace gate still falling?" Seeing Liu Yuan's anger, Situ Rui comforted him, "Your Majesty, the city gate has been lost, it is useless, now we must strengthen all our forces Go to the guard at the gate of the second palace in the southeast." Liu Yuan sighed and said, "This is the only way to do it now. Shaowei, do as His Royal Highness wants."

"Yes," Tian Shaowei replied, and hurried out to make arrangements.After Tian Shaowei left, Liu Yuan said disheartenedly: "Brother Rui, before the palace gate falls, you and your younger brother and sister can hide out of the palace first, so don't implicate the Second Highness." Situ Rui nodded and left After leaving Yongfu Palace, he hurried back to Qingfeng Pavilion.As soon as he returned to Qingfeng Pavilion, Situ Rui saw Meng Si'er, and hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "How is it, has Li Liang been in contact?" Hurrying to the city, we will be able to enter the city in about two hours. Your Highness, now that the soldiers are approaching the city, you can quickly take the princess and leave with me." Situ Rui thought for a while and said: "Since Li Liang's soldiers are coming soon When we get there, then I can't leave anymore, and I have to show it in front of Liu Yuan..." Meng Si'er hurriedly interrupted Situ Rui, and said: "Your Highness, this can't be done, how can the young one let His Highness How about taking risks alone?" Situ Rui grabbed Meng Si'er's hand and said, "Meng Si'er, don't worry about me, I have my own reasons for doing this, now hurry up and take the princess out of the palace and take care of her carefully." For the princess, don't let the princess get hurt."

"This... this..." Meng Si'er didn't know whether to follow His Highness's words and take away the princess, or take His Highness and the princess away together, and was very conflicted in his heart.Situ Rui didn't wait for Meng Si'er to answer him, so he ran back to Qingfeng Pavilion, took down the sword hanging on the wall in the room, and dragged Yu Xin to Meng Si'er in the courtyard.Nervously said to Yu Xin: "Xiaoxin, you heard what my husband said, now that King Chang of the original dynasty is in rebellion, the east and west gates have been lost, and they are attacking the palace gates, now you follow Meng Si'er to leave the palace and find a safe place Hide first, and I will look for you after the matter subsides." Yu Xin panicked and asked: "Husband, won't you leave the palace with us?" Situ Rui nodded and said: "I'm not leaving now. You should leave with Meng Sier first." Yu Xin held Situ Rui's hand tightly and said, "No, my husband. What are you doing here if the palace is so dangerous? Let's leave together, I don't Don't worry, you stay here alone." Situ Rui said solemnly: "Now is not the time for children to grow in love. Xiaoxin, you can rest assured that your husband will take care of yourself." Then he turned his head to look at Meng Si'er and said: "Meng Si'er Now, the princess will be handed over to you, and while the situation is still stable, quickly take the princess and leave." After speaking, Situ Rui hugged Yu Xin in his arms, kissed her earlobe, and held the sword in his hand Then ran to Yongfu Palace.

Yu Xin looked at Situ Rui's back and cried bitterly.Seeing Yu Xin's pain, Meng Si'er hurriedly persuaded: "Your Highness will be fine, please rest assured, Princess. The key issue now is that Princess should leave the palace as soon as possible, so as not to worry Her Highness. After the princess is settled, the younger one will come in again." The palace protects His Highness." Yu Xin wiped away the tears on her face and nodded, then glanced in the direction Situ Rui was going away, then left Qingfeng Pavilion, and followed Meng Si'er to the secret path out of the palace.

"Chong... whoever breaks through the gate of the palace will be rewarded heavily by this king." Chang Wang Liu Shu of Dongyuan Gate commanded the soldiers to break through the gate of the palace. Under the lure of the reward, the soldiers were all in high spirits.Thirty tall and burly soldiers rushed towards the palace gate carrying thick wooden stakes, and the palace gate was rushed open after a few strokes.King Chang raised the sword in his hand, swung it forward and shouted: "I will capture the dog emperor alive, and the one who captures the dog emperor will be rewarded with a thousand taels of silver, regardless of life or death! Come on..." Liu Shuan and Mei Qimie split up. Two pairs of men and horses rushed in from the southeast second palace gate.Although the guards guarding the gate resisted with all their strength, they had no choice but to withdraw while fighting.Tian Shaowei, who was guarding outside the Yongfu Palace, saw something bad and rushed in to report: "Your Majesty, all the gates of the southeast palace have been lost, and the soldiers of King Chang and General Mei are rushing towards Yongfu Palace in two ways. What should you do, Your Majesty?" Liu Yuan He panicked when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "Hurry up, Shaowei. Take all the troops you can mobilize, and you must stop King Chang's attack. Even if you can't stop it, you must stop it. When General Li's troops arrive, we will stop the attack." It's saved." Tian Shaowei replied: "Yes." Then he went out of the room, and all the people who gathered in Yongfu Palace rushed out of Yongfu Palace.

"Brother Rui, what should we do? The rebels are already here, why hasn't General Li come here yet? Is your news reliable?" Liu Yuan asked Situ Rui anxiously.Situ Rui didn't hesitate in his heart, but he couldn't say anything discouraged at this time, so he could only bite the bullet and say to Liu Yuan: "Your Majesty, you must be calm and calm now. Maybe General Li's troops have already arrived in the city and are now heading to the palace. You are rushing in. Your Majesty, please have a sip of tea first, and I will go out to see the situation." Situ Rui brought the cold tea to Liu Yuan, and holding the sword slung across his waist, he pushed open the door and went out.
