Chapter 82 Chapter IX Qi State Coup

On a quiet night, a bright moon hangs high in the sky. The sky is not completely clear, there are a few soft clouds floating in the vast sky, and the brilliant and colorful stars blink mischievously from the gaps in the clouds, as if they are peeping into the world curiously. With a sound of "shua", there seemed to be a bright light flashing in the dark alley. Then, there was blood light all over the sky, a jet of scorching blood gushed out from the neck, shining with a strange jewel luster under the moonlight. Beads of sweat flowed from his forehead. The soldier in heavy armor had a ferocious and cruel light in his eyes. The lukewarm blood on the blade was slowly flowing from the blade to his wrist at this moment.

At this moment, as if thinking of something, the surroundings began to hear screams that made people's teeth ache. "Mom!" "Save someone! Come here!" Amidst the cries that rose and fell, it seemed that the killing intent of several soldiers was added. I saw them shouting loudly, raising their knives and falling, and the blood was sprayed in this dark alley like a fountain. After a while, the scream became weaker and weaker, and finally stopped. And several soldiers of the border troops of Qi State were panting at this moment, their arms were numb and their knives were hanging down.

Around them, at this time, dozens of mutilated corpses of old and young women were already lying on the ground. These old and young are all dependents of the most prominent aristocratic "Guoshi" family in the Qi Kingdom. Across a high wall, on the other side of the dark alley is the luxurious family mansion that they have favored for generations. Until the moment of their death, I am afraid that no one would have thought that they would die in the stinky ditch behind the mansion. This terrible disaster was the coup d'état launched by border guards Lian Cheng and Guan Zhifu in collusion with the fallen royal family in Linzi, the capital of Qi.

On Kuafu Mountain in the outskirts of the city, Lian Cheng took advantage of Duke Xiang of Qi's outing to go hunting in the city, and successfully led the army to surround the palace, beheading and killing the hero of the Qi State in the palace, and the officials in the city who colluded with him Zhifu also led the army into Linzi, joined up with Gongsun Wuzhi who participated in the coup, and launched a terrible massacre in the defenseless city of Linzi. The targets of the massacre were, of course, the ministers and nobles of the Qi Kingdom who could prevent the coup d'état. During the massacre, the Gao family had many guards and the defense of the family was relatively strong, so the rebels failed to invade the Gao family. However, because another prominent family, the Guo family, had no defenses, only the patriarch Guo Zhonghe Several followers fled in a hurry, and the remaining old and weak women and children were brutally murdered by the rebels.

Those few red-eyed rebels kept searching the chaotic streets late at night. The huge famous city has now become a ghost town. Shocking bloody dead bodies can be seen everywhere on the street, and there are occasional screams that make the gums sour. The shouts were mixed with the roars of rebukes from the rebels. Some people closed their doors tightly, but were kicked open by the sergeants, and then they were dragged out, punched and kicked. At this moment, the corner of the eye of one of the soldiers who had killed Guo's family members flashed, as if he saw a figure passing by quietly. He turned his head vigilantly, and under the moonlight, he saw that it was a year's appointment. A girl of fifteen or sixteen years old.

Although the girl's clothing is simple, it is thin and soft silk. It is obvious that she is a woman from a family. Of course, such a girl is usually unattainable. Needless to say, a few soldiers came into contact with her, just looked at her more often, maybe She will also be beaten up by the girl's servant. But at this moment, the city of Linzi is no longer as good as it used to be. Those rebels have just had blood on the necks of the most noble families in this city, and their animal nature has already been aroused. How can they manage so much? I saw one of the sergeants cheering, and several people quickly surrounded the girl.

The girl's temples were fluffy, and her face was covered with sweat and blood. Her face was pale, and she was surrounded by soldiers who looked like tigers and wolves. Although she was young, she already knew what her fate would be. . I saw those sergeants showing obscene smiles one after another, and under the moonlight, each of them had ferocious faces, not like people, but like a group of bloodthirsty animals. The sergeant who saw the girl first swallowed heavily, and unconsciously stretched out his hand to touch his crotch, and his breathing suddenly became heavy. The girl screamed in alarm, and with a "hiss", the tulle on her body was torn off by the sergeant, revealing a crystal clear white tender chest.

The girl was startled and angry, and finally burst into tears. Hearing her cry, several sergeants laughed. The sergeant who tore her clothes opened the veil, his eyes glowed, and he panted loudly, stretched out his arms, and held her tightly. The girl's chest. In the frenzy, the girl seemed to hear the vague sound of horseshoes, but because the pair of demon palms holding her chest really pinched her too painfully, she had no time to care about him. The girl was in pain and fear, and was about to cry loudly, but felt that the ugly devil's palm holding her chest was loosened suddenly, followed by a large amount of hot liquid spilling all over her body and face.

The lustful sergeant showed a dazed expression, his eyes were gathered together like fighting cocks, and his expression seemed to contain the most unanswerable doubts in the world. Then, his neck and chest were suddenly separated, as if it was not a human body, but a door that could be opened and closed freely. At this moment, the huge wound on his neck and chest was like a fountain, and a large amount of blood spewed out again. It turned out that what was sprinkled on the girl's head and face just now was his hot blood. Such a vicious sergeant was actually split open between the chest and neck in a moment!

Under the splashing of these two showers of blood, the girl's eyes were full of blood, and her vision was somewhat blurred. Therefore, when the sergeant fell silently, there seemed to be a huge figure behind him, but the girl was covered by panic and blood. , but how can not see clearly. I saw a shining big knife in the man's hand, and he cut down another sergeant with a flicker. At this time, the soldiers finally recovered and saw the dead body that was almost cut in half on the ground. One of them screamed wildly. Shouting miserably, the rest of the companions screamed loudly, then turned their heads and ran desperately. After a while, several people had already disappeared without a trace.

The girl's face was covered in blood, her eyes were wide open, and her eyes were full of fear and shock. In the blurred vision, the man with the big knife approached slowly and said softly, "It's okay, Do not be afraid." That voice had absolute comforting power in the quiet night. The girl knew that she had temporarily escaped the bad luck of being humiliated and killed, and she felt a light weight, and she fainted. Before he fainted, he vaguely heard that soft voice sighing softly. In the silent night, looking at the sky from a distance, the entire city of Linzi has already burst into waves of evil flames like beacon fire. In addition to killing and looting in the city, the rebel troops also set fire to many houses. Seeing the vast chaos, Sangyang Suyin couldn't help but let out another long sigh. Beside him, Yi Yangjiu got off his horse neatly at this moment, and stared carefully at the corpse on the ground that had been split in half by Sang Yang's silver. "What a fast knife!" He said sincerely, with a look of reverence on his face: "Your knife skills must be amazing." Sangyang Shuyin shook his head, helplessly shook the blood-stained sword, and shook off the blood beads on the sword. "One can be saved, but a hundred cannot be saved," he said softly, "I don't know what the point is." The two escaped from the forest of Kuafu Mountain in the middle of the night and returned to Linzi City. Once they returned to the city, they realized that this rebellion had already turned Linzi upside down. Er's speed disintegrated the garrison in the city, coupled with Gongsun's ignorant internal response, he began to arrest forces loyal to Duke Xiang of Qi in the city. That Gongsun Wuzhi is the son of Yi Zhongnian, the youngest brother of the former King Xigong. Qi Chuangong once asked Xianggong to treat this son of the Jiang royal family well, but this Gongsun Wuzhi thought that he was capable enough to be the King of Qi, so he often took the throne. ambition. However, since Duke Qi Xiang ascended the throne, the state of Qi has been powerful and prosperous, and Duke Qi Xiang has become a leader who is respected by all the feudal states in the world, and his reputation is so high, so Gongsun Wuzhi can only temporarily stop his ambitions. This time Lian Cheng and Guan Zhifu's rebellion grasped Gongsun Wuzhi's psychology. After conspiring with him, Gongsun Wuzhi responded in Linzi City, and revealed Qi Xianggong's whereabouts to the two. This was successfully completed. for this seizure of power. After Yiyangjiu and Sangyang Suyin entered the city, they met a group of rebels hand in hand. Both of them were pretty good at fighting. He worried about Ji Yingchu's safety in his heart, but he didn't know where to find her in the midst of the chaos. However, he also knew that Young Master Jiu, Guan Zhong and the others were in Linzi City at this moment, and he didn't know what their situation was, so he and Sangyang Shuyin rode wildly in the city, intending to go to the ceremonial department to find out, but ended up in this place by accident. Saved the girl who was almost raped by the rebels. Sangyang Yinyin pondered for a while, and said: "Anyway, we don't have time to take care of her in this chaotic time, I think you'd better wrap her up." This kind of statement is a bit nonsensical, but Yi Yangjiu understood it, nodded, took a slight breath, and the primordial spirit "Luo Ye" beside him scattered a handful of seeds, and countless vines emerged from the ground, The unconscious girl was wrapped in layers. From the outside, she can no longer be seen, just like a clump of inconspicuous trees. Yi Yangjiu closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and showed a gratified smile on his face. Because just now he was thinking, hoping that the girl could rest safely for a while, and this kind of thought, "Luoye" obviously sensed it, so it grew many green leaves of eucalyptus next to the girl, and Yiyang Jiu knew that the smell of eucalyptus leaves had a calming effect. No matter how difficult tomorrow's future is, at least tonight, this girl can have a peaceful and good sleep here. Sangyang Suyin saw Yiyangjiu's thoughtfulness and kindness from the side, and a gentle and approving smile appeared on his expression. In the night, the two got on their horses and continued to gallop towards the Ministry of Rites, passing through the noisy streets. In front of an alley, Yi Yangjiu suddenly yelled in surprise, and it was too late to rein in his horse Stopping, he jumped off the horse's back and landed lightly on the ground. Sangyang Suyin didn't pay attention to his sudden movement, and rode his horse with a "swoosh" and passed by Yiyangjiu. When he turned around, he saw Yiyangjiu start to yell, and He has already taken a big stride, facing a large group of rebels with raised eyebrows. The group of rebels swarmed out of a big house like locusts, some of them carried their belongings in their hands, and some of them were chatting with a few residents of Qi State. Among the few civilians of Qi State, one The figure is particularly fat, with a slight beard on his face. Sangyang Shuyin took a closer look, but saw a yellow shadow behind the obese man, he reined in his horse and walked back, couldn't help shouting: "Yi Ya! You are fat Yi Ya! " I saw Yi Ya blushing and shouting angrily, grabbing a rebel's clothes and refusing to let him go, but there were three or two behind him who grabbed him firmly, as if they wanted to take him away. Fatty Yi Ya's culinary skills may be extraordinary, but his fighting skills are certainly not as good as Yi Yang Jiu's, and the primordial spirit "Pao Ren" beside him is also like a fool, just standing still pitifully. Yi Yangjiu roared loudly, picked up a large beam from somewhere, and kept waving it in his hands. The group of rebels immediately screamed "Alas! Alas!", and ran away with their heads in their hands. But the number of rebels is quite large, even if a few people were beaten to death by Yi Yangjiu, the soldiers behind still swarmed up. Although Yiyang Jiu was strong, he couldn't stop so many opponents. Sangyang Suyin frowned slightly, shook his head, and had no choice but to copy the machete in his hand again. Thinking about killing people again later, he actually felt extremely uncomfortable. But in the war-torn world, if you don't cut down your opponent, the next moment it will be you who will fall in a pool of blood. If there must be someone who needs to make more cuts on the body, of course, it is best not to be that person. At this moment, there was a whistling sound from the east, and a group of men and horses galloped forward. Yi Yangjiu violently waved the beam in his hand, and knocked down another three or five rebels. Can't help but be overjoyed. Among the people who suddenly appeared, the leader was the important minister under Young Master Jiu: "Yi Wu" Guan Zhong. I saw that Guan Zhong's face was also splashed with blood and sweat. It was obvious that he had fought several scuffle battles. The number of troops Guan Zhong brought was roughly equal to that of the rebels, but they were all first-class elite troops. It's just soldiers guarding the border, relying on the large number of people, they can cope with bullying the few, but once they encounter such an elite army, they have no choice but to flee. Scrambling and scrambling to escape cleanly. Fatty Yi Ya was out of breath. Over the years, he had gained a lot of weight. After such a fierce fight, he almost collapsed. But seeing Yi Yangjiu whom he hadn't seen for a long time, and this old friend who rescued himself and his family again, Yi Ya's oily and fat face wrinkled suddenly, and he stammered excitedly. "Xiao Jiu...you...you...you bastard...you..." Before he could finish his sentence, he felt that his knees were bent, and his whole body seemed to be paralyzed, as if he could not stand upright. Yi Yangjiu laughed loudly, took the fat man's hand, and pulled him up. "It's me, a dead guy, what do you do to me? I didn't beat you up, fat man, how could I be willing to let others torment you?" Guan Zhong was very happy when he saw Yi Yangjiu. From behind him, Shu Diao and Kaifang, Yi Yangjiu and Yi Ya's old friends, appeared from behind him. Because of their different encounters, they are not as tired of being together all day long as they were when they were teenagers. They only meet occasionally. Now the four of them are together again, but the environment they are in is such a chaotic situation. Although we met at the end of a long time, the habit of quarreling and bickering has not changed. When Shu Diao saw Yi Ya, he called out strangely: "Fatty fatty, you are so fat again, be careful someday you will kill your wife." Crushed to death!" And Yi Ya was not to be outdone, and retorted loudly: "Even if I crush my wife to death, so what? No matter what, I'm better than you. What I want is at least a decent wife. It's not like you, who spends all day in the mountains. Know what to do with what!" "What about the prescription? He's in his dozen years, and he hasn't given birth to half a child yet. He has a wife for nothing. Could it be that he loves a bearded rabbit?" "But no matter who it is, they are much better than Xiaojiu. They live in the place where no birds can lay eggs all day long in Yuancheng. There are only seven-year-old and seventy-year-old women..." Several people chattered and told each other their reasons. After a long time of quarreling, they finally figured out the reasons for everything. It turned out that among the four people, Yi Ya and Kai Fang already had families, and they were living a stable life in Linzi city, but there were sudden changes in the city. Therefore, he became the first target of the rebels to seize. Their families were almost robbed and bullied by the rebels in the midst of the chaos. At the critical moment, he was rescued by Guan Zhong leading his troops passing by. Yi Yangjiu simply narrated to everyone how Duke Xiang of Qi was murdered on Kuafu Mountain. Guan Zhong followed the son for a long time and knew that the competition for the throne was the most treacherous and dangerous competition in the world. Now that Duke Xiang of Qi was dead, in order to Competing for the throne of the monarch of the Qi Kingdom will inevitably lead to a bloodbath. At this moment, Gongsun Wuzhi has already colluded with the rebels, so the two younger brothers of Qi Xianggong are the two younger brothers who are in the most dangerous situation: Gongzi Jiu and Gongzi Xiaobai. Because in the order of patriarchal succession, the qualifications of these two people to inherit the throne are before Gongsun Wuzhi. But in terms of strength and military strength, Gongsun Wuzhi has an absolute advantage. Although the family law of the ancestors is above everything else, but that was in Taiping. At this moment, there is chaos in Linzi city, and the king was killed in a coup. Gongsun Wuzhi has the support of Lian Cheng and Guan Zhifu's army. It can be said that he has an absolute advantage during the short period of chaos, but this moment of chaos will not last forever. Will support him again, that is hard to say. Therefore, the current plan, the rebels will definitely do their best to wipe out the two sons who are qualified to inherit the throne! At this moment, a burst of thick black smoke, dust and flames rose into the sky from the roofs of the houses in the west of the city. It was obvious that the rebels were burning, killing and looting in the west of the city again. Guan Zhong had the highest insight among all the people. He had held important positions under Prince Jiu all year round. After a little thought, he understood the stakes of the situation, so he said loudly with a livid face, "Let's go! If we don't go, I'm afraid it will be too late." !" Suddenly, a dark voice sounded in the night sky. "No, no, you're wrong," the voice said with a grin, "I'm afraid it's too late for you!"
