Chapter 609 Beauty and Sword
The Wang family of Langya and Yuan family of Chen County. They supported the King of Qi Zhu Xian and King of Lu Zhu Honghuan respectively. In addition, Miao Renhu, who was supported by the Xiao family of Lanling, was the component of the three armies that came to attack the capital. Although the capital is now in danger and critical, there is actually a great opportunity mixed in this.
Whether it is the Wang family, Yuan family, or Xiao family, although they have a deep foundation and have a long history, if these tens of thousands of troops are wiped out, or they suffer heavy casualties, then the strength they can bring out will be almost exhausted. After all, the clans are not the court, and they dare not blatantly raise their army.
Even if they have money and enough silver, they cannot turn the silver into elite soldiers in a short period of time. So for Jiang Xia, taking advantage of this time to go around the enemy and conduct surprise attacks will be his best choice.
After success, Jiang Xia only needs to sort out his army a little and then directly drives his troops south and kills all Miao Renhu and Cui Zhengyi who are now in Nanjing.
Once Nanjing is destroyed, it is only a matter of time before other forces of all sizes are recovered by Jiang Xia.
How could Jiang Xia let go of such a great temptation? So he chose to lead the army back to the rescue without hesitation, heading straight behind the enemy, preparing to take advantage of the darkness of the night and be in a chaos again, and catch the opponent off guard.
On the side of the imperial palace, 30,000 rebels in the Jing camp broke through the Donghua Gate in a fierce manner and headed straight for the harem. The soldiers and horses of the Jing camp usually held several times higher than those of the local garrison soldiers, and were pampered and had low combat power, but the bad habits of soldiers were more serious than the other.
After entering the palace, I don’t know who started to take the lead. The soldiers from the Beijing camp scattered and went to rob the property in each palace.
Some of the soldiers met the beautiful palace maids and were prepared to commit violence on the spot. Fortunately, the eunuchs in the palace were prepared for a long time. These disabled people who were often criticized by literati and poets showed extraordinary unity and benevolence at this moment.
They spontaneously formed an army to protect palace maids. In the Ming Dynasty where there were East Factory and West Factory, there were naturally a large number of eunuchs. There were also many eunuchs who were also accustomed to martial arts. Their army had about 3,000 people, each carrying steel knives in their hands.
They were most familiar with the terrain of the palace. So they searched from the periphery of the palace and moved all the palace maids to the interior of the palace. Fortunately, they existed, the palace maids in the palace were not insulted. However, these eunuchs had collided with the main soldiers of the Beijing camp several times, and the casualties were also extremely heavy.
Bang! Finally, a army in the Jing camp broke into Kunning Palace. The palace gate of Kunning Palace was just broken by them, and a round of crossbows and arrows shot out, and the soldiers in the Jing camp immediately retreated.
After a while of quiet, several soldiers from the Beijing camp bravely reached out to look. Then they found that there were only a few hundred Yulin Guards standing on the large stone slab playground behind the palace gate. Behind the Yulin Guards were several women in palace costumes.
When they saw those women, all the soldiers from the Beijing camp were stunned. The Adam's apples in their throats kept sliding up and down, and the saliva in their mouths was swallowing into their throats one by one. All the thoughts in their hearts were: "There are such beautiful women in this world. Such women, not to mention a kiss, even if they just take a look, they might be enough to live two years less."
Perhaps it was because Xue Ruqin and the others were so beautiful that the soldiers in the Beijing camp did not have the idea of blaspheming them at the first time. They waited for Li Cheng, who came from behind, and suddenly shouted: "What are you waiting for? Come on me! Don't hurt my beauty!"
Li Cheng's words "My Beauty" immediately angered Xue Ruqin. Xue Ruqin's eyes widened and looked straight at Li Cheng. She hadn't fought and killed for many years, and her eyes were no longer as murderous as before. Instead, she saw that Li Cheng's blood flow rate accelerated. She was very excited and shouted in her heart: "Ru Si Beauty is simply a gift from heaven."
After seeing Li Cheng being glared at her, Xue Ruqin not only did not restrain his blasphemous eyes, but became even more presumptuous. Her face immediately became colder, and two short swords tied with silk suddenly popped up from her sleeves. The two short swords were like two spirit snakes, shooting straight towards the two soldiers in front.
"Sher!" Two short swords directly penetrated the throats of the two, and then Xue Ruqin pulled hard. With the help of the pulling force, Xue Ruqin flew across the air like a fairy in Lingbo. It seemed that she was going straight to Li Cheng.
Li Cheng didn't expect such a beautiful woman to be so powerful. He quickly slapped his horse and retreated, and kept shouting: "Stop her! Stop her! Protect her! Protect her! Protect her!
When Xue Ruqin first met Jiang Xia, she was already a top expert. After so many years, although she no longer thought about practicing hard as before, as a master of giant tripod, her true energy would naturally increase even if she didn't practice. Not to mention, she still enjoyed the benefits of practicing the "Heart Sutra of the Evil" with Jiang Xia.
Xue Ruqin suddenly opened her mouth and screamed. The scream contained the deep true energy in her body. The sound suddenly seemed like an arrow piercing the ears of a group of soldiers, making everyone close to her cover their ears and squat on the ground in pain.
Li Cheng was also shocked from the horse by her roar. Xue Ruqin stepped on the head of a soldier, pulled her hands and pulled the bodies of two soldiers who had been pierced by her short sword and flew over.
"Bang!" The bodies of the two soldiers hit Li Cheng hard, and Li Cheng let out a mouthful of blood.
Xue Ruqin shook her hand, and two short swords pulled out from the two corpses, and then the two short swords passed through Li Cheng's throat at the same time.
This series of actions may sound complicated, but in fact Xue Ruqin was done in an instant. A master is a master. It is as easy to take the head of a person from a crowd like taking a pill.
But it has to be mentioned that this series of actions directly exhausted Xue Ruqin's true energy. As the old power had just left and the new power had not yet emerged, several steel knives were slashed straight towards Xue Ruqin. Xue Ruqin quickly dodged and barely avoided the attacks of several steel knives. However, with a "chi" sound, Xue Ruqin was still unable to survive. She was cut off on her back, and the sharp blade pulled a long hole on her back.
