Chapter 66: Flying Tiger Second Moment

In the night, the undulating mountains in the distance are like beasts lying quietly waiting for opportunities, mysterious and dangerous.

In the military camp, soldiers holding torches walked by in groups. Where the fire dragon passed, the surrounding barracks quickly became brighter. As they walked away, they slowly fell into dark silence.

Zhuketu was sitting in the darkness, and the barracks were pitch black, and Zhuketu felt cold and cold.

He had arrived in Fujian, and surrounded the military camp four times, a branch of the Wuyi Mountains. Zhuketu didn't know the names of the mountains, but he knew that soon, these unknown small hills would become famous all over the world and would be recorded in bloody historical books.

Zhu Ketu stood up and came to the camp. Not far away, Huangluan Jinfeng tent was the ritual of the two palaces. At this time, the lights were bright, and the servants coming and going in and out seemed to be busy for a moment. I really didn't know whether these servants were really so busy, or if they didn't act like this, they would not show their love for the master and their loyalty.

When the two palaces arrived in Guangzhou, the show seemed to be getting bigger and bigger. Now that they came out, there were no less than a hundred eunuchs, palace maids and servants around them. It was no wonder that Jing Xiang and Jing Xiang would not have the glory of today if they did not flatter the two palaces.

But Jing Xiang really handed the two empress dowagers to himself so easily? What was he thinking?

Looking at the undulating mountains in the distance, Zhu Ketu sighed softly in his heart, the Guangdong army ambushed should have entered Fujian, right? But Jingxiang, Jingxiang, don’t you know it’s too late?

What you did was just a big problem for me.

Zhu Ketu's hand touched the yellow cloth bag in his arms, and his face changed again. This was what Xiao Dezi handed to him, and Xiao Dezi didn't leave a single word.

Yes, but everyone knows that this must be what the emperor means.

The emperor had already made up his mind to get rid of the two empress dowagers and entered Fujian. Soon, he would encounter chaos created by the inner court guards and soldiers of the chaotic camp. At this time, it was his own chance to take action.

The emperor is a sensible person! Zhu Ketu wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, which was the best opportunity to get rid of the two empress dowagers. If he hoped that the two empress dowagers could be sent onto the ship, he would have to do it again, and that would really underestimate the tricky Jing Xiang.

But as for me, the two empress dowagers were attacked by bandits while escorting her, and she would definitely be beheaded. But if I disrespect the emperor's hint, I am afraid that my family in the capital will be killed in a blink of an eye. For the sake of the present, I can only "dead in battle" among these mountains to keep my wife and children safe, and perhaps I can escape my life.

Your Majesty, you are a sensible person, but how cruel? Zhu Ketu looked at the direction of the northern capital and slowly knelt down.

...

When Zhu Ketu walked towards the Luan Camp of the two palaces, his heart was already in a state of turmoil.

The two palace camps were surrounded by the inner court guards and the Qiaoqi camp. This time, they came to pick up the two palaces, and Zhuketu led 50 inner court guards and 500 riflesmen from the front guards of the army camp. In addition, there were more than 2,000 soldiers from the green camp in Fujian.

The Six Kings changed the Eight Banners Army, and the Guardian and Firearms Battalions merged into a new Guardian, which was the Imperial Army in the Capital, equipped with two thousand French rifles purchased at high prices.

But walking in the military camp, Zhu Ketu looked at the yawning infantry and sighed in his heart that the Eight Banners soldiers were broken from the root! This cannot be changed by buying foreign guns and changing their military equipment. No wonder the emperor is also preparing to train a new army.

"Sir!" In front of the two palaces' golden tents, the guard bowed and bowed. The eunuch immediately reported in. After a while, he sang the Manchu governor of Zhengbai Banner with a long tone and led the guard's minister Zhu Ketu to meet him.

The tent is magnificent, and you can see graceful figures of the two palaces behind the yellow curtain. Although they are in the military camp, the majesty of the two palaces remains unabated.

"My servant Zhuketu pays homage to the mother Queen Mother, the Queen Mother of the Holy Mother!" Zhuketu knelt down respectfully and kowtowed.

"No gifts are given to you." It is full of oppression and pleasant, and I don't know which queen mother's voice is the voice of.

"Thank you, Empress Dowager, the grace of the Queen Mother of the Holy Mother!" Zhuketu didn't expect that the two empress dowagers would give her seat, so he hurriedly kowtowed again.

I got up slowly. A palace maid had already brought to Ruan Dun, and another beautiful palace maid presented fragrant tea.

Zhu Ketu took it with both hands, but did not dare to drink it, and only held it in his hands.

"Are you arriving in Fujian?"

Zhu Ketu said respectfully: "Yes, I just received a quick report from Kuaima. General Muten of Fuzhou and Governor Yuan Jia, the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, led all the officials from Fujian to Longyan and arrived at night to welcome the Queen Mother Luan's carriage."

"Well, they are determined. You have worked hard these days!"

Zhu Ketu hurriedly bowed and said, "Slaves are waiting for what they should be."

"Beijing is still the same, right?"

Zhu Ketu gradually heard it, and the person who asked this question should be the mother Empress Dowager Niu Hulu.

"Yes, or the same. But the ministers all miss the Queen Mother's tightness."

Huang Man sighed softly and said, "The Six Kings are in good health, right?"

Zhu Ketu was stunned, but he didn't know how to answer this. The Six Kings have not heard this title for a long time.

"Empress Dowager, Tremella porridge!" The crisp voice of the maid from Huangman's harem.

Zhuketu's heart immediately jumped, his back was wet with sweat unknowingly. He tried to suppress the excitement, fear, anxiety, relief, and other emotions in his heart. But he could feel the muscles on his face twitching unconsciously.

In the past few days, Xiao Luzi has been familiar with the kitchens of the two palaces. The empress dowager of the two palaces has the habit of drinking tremella and lotus seed porridge every night. Just now, she handed over a pack of tremella to Xiao Luzi.

The small path is very clever and you will definitely find an opportunity to steal the dragon and turn the phoenix.

But what if the small way fails? Zhu Ketu unconsciously moved his feet, and his boots were so hard that he was really going to do such a traitor? He actually wanted to kill the two empress dowagers with his own hands?

All kinds of strange thoughts made Zhu Ketu's head dizzy. He listened to the voices of the two queen mothers behind Huang Man: "Remove it." Zhu Ketu's body stiffened, and the last time came. If the two palaces were not poisoned, he had no choice.

After gritting his teeth, Zhu Ketu's heart gradually became cruel. So what about the two empress dowagers? Are they still ordinary women? When Emperor Taizu Gao died, were there fewer people who were killed for the title of Taizu's beloved concubine?

"Zhu Ketu, you are so brave!" The beautiful palace maid beside her suddenly shouted loudly.

Zhu Ketu was stunned and turned around in confusion.

"I actually poisoned the two empress dowagers?!"

Hearing this, Zhu Ketu reached out and touched his boots without hesitation. With a loud "bang", his arm felt numb and then he felt a sharp pain. He couldn't lift it up again. Blood quickly penetrated the collar of the forearm. Turning his head, he saw that the beautiful palace maid had a musket in her hand, and the black muzzle was aimed at him.

"Dare to move again! I will kill you!" A hint of chill in the voice of Qingxiu Palace Maid, which made people immediately know that she was not intimidating.

The two palaces were surrounded by palace maids and eunuchs before the Qingxiu Palace Maids took action.

Outside, gunshots suddenly broke out.

The confidant among the great guards of Zhuketu had already received the secret order of Zhuketu. There might be some changes tonight. Some people have ill intentions towards the two empress dowagers. As long as they hear something strange about the empress dowagers in the camp, they will come to respond immediately. If there is a palace maid and eunuch resisting, they will be killed without mercy.

These people were chosen by Zhuketu, who were all brave enough to leave Beijing. Although he had a flexible mind and knew vaguely what was going on, he naturally followed the instructions of the general manager.

Hearing the guns of the big tent, they immediately rushed into the fences of the two palace camps, leading the first-class guards shouted to the eunuchs and servants who were busy chopping firewood and picking soil near the golden tent: "Someone is in trouble, and they will all lie down for the man. Those who dare to move will kill them on the spot!"

Who knew that before he finished speaking, a bloody hole broke out in his chest with a "bang".

And the eunuchs and servants suddenly seemed to be crazy, and each took out a guy in his hands, all of whom were revolvers, and the close-range shooting was extremely powerful.

Amid the "bang bang bang bang" gunshots, the large guards who were caught off guard were shot and fell to the ground.

The camp immediately started to make a mess, with figures running, screaming, shouting, and chasing.

At this time, on a small hill not far away, there were countless people. Dorolon, the deputy commander of the Qiaoqi Camp, stood on the hill, and looked at the chaotic camp with a thousand-mile mirror, with his eyebrows twisted into the character Sichuan.

If you don’t see the signal from Zhuketu, things have not been accomplished? Yes, but why is it so messy?

He gritted his teeth and shouted: "The empress dowagers of the two palaces are attacked! He blew the trumpet!" He led the Biaoqiao cavalry camp to support the two palaces, but a few of his confidants knew the real purpose of this trip.

Dorolon was deeply trusted by the emperor and was both wise and brave, otherwise he would not have taken on this important task. He was confused and didn't know what happened, but he didn't have to worry about it. He rushed forward and took the lives of the two palaces in the chaos.

"Well——" The melodious and long horn sounded, and immediately the sound of killing on the hills shook the sky, and a Puma army quickly rolled from the jungle toward the big tent.

At this time, near the yellow tent of the army in the camp, there was a crisp sound of "papapapapapapa" and a few green signal flares soaring into the sky.

The most confused military camp was the Green Camp soldiers. A battalion led the police to ask, but when they saw what was going on, they were shot dead by stray bullets. The soldiers of the Guardian camp who were suddenly shot and became ignorant by eunuchs and servants who had suddenly changed their faces fired. As long as they were not armored by the Guardian camp, they raised their guns and fired. After killing several Green Camp soldiers, both sides exchanged fire in a daze.

When the cavalrymen of the Knight Camp arrived, they shouted, "The cavalry guards in the capital are here!" but they couldn't tell the enemy's guard camp, and the green camp was not in charge. They were soon involved in the melee. The horses were neighing and the people shouted, and the sound of killing was shocking the sky...

Around the Huangding tent, the "eunuchs" and "servants" piled up wooden blocks and sand and stones into fortifications. If Zhu Ketu saw this at this time, he would know what these slaves were "busing around".

Dozens of firepower points cross into a blind spot defense line, and bang bang four-outside shooting. Any approaching soldiers, regardless of the rifle soldiers or green camp soldiers, will be killed.

The riflesmen and soldiers of the Green Camp were away from this restricted area, while the soldiers of the Chef Camp were blocked by the Guardian and Green Camp on the periphery and were even closer.

Dorolon, who was riding a horse, was almost mad. He never expected that it would turn out to be such a scene. He bravely led dozens of cavalry and shouted: "The Imperial Guard is here, I am Dorolon, the Chakra Camp! Stop the fire quickly!" He rushed inside.

"Bang bang bang", I don't know where the cold gun came from, Dorolon was shot and fell to the ground with a tragic sound. Several of the riders were shot and fell from the horse. The rest were slashed down, slashing several green camps, and rescuing the head coach to death.

The gunfire that had gradually subsided in this area was immediately thrust. Those stupid green camp soldiers would never wait to die. No matter who you are, would you cut your head to you in vain? Several horse soldiers from the cavalry retreated slowly, and were machetes and spears were stabbed into meat paste.

The chaos in the external war situation was simply unparalleled, only the central army's tent was as stable as a rock.

"Sister, this is a great return to Beijing unless Jing Xiang takes someone back!"

Niu Hulu sighed in his heart, Lao Liu, Lao Liu is determined to kill our sisters! Nara said earlier, I don’t believe it yet.

Concubine Lan glanced at Ding Qimei who was standing beside her and asked, "What's the situation outside?"

Ding Qimei bowed and said, "Please be relieved. I have sent a signal flare. The hidden three hundred flying tiger elites arrived in an instant. I also looked at the terrain. It is not difficult to tear a gap from the stream to the east. It will definitely be safe and sound for the two palaces. The prince told me that if the queen mother is frightened, the prince and the servants' heads will not be wanted."

Niu Hulu smiled and said, "Good boy, you can do it well. It's so chaotic outside, but the Empress Dowager and I are very at ease." Indeed, it's really reassuring to have this pretty little girl by my side.

Guiren Lan also smiled and said to Niu Hulu: "Sister, what do you think we will reward her when we go back? Speaking of which, Jing Xiang is really amazing. A little girl under him is so capable."

Before Niu Hulu could speak, someone outside patted his palms gently. Ding Qimei showed joy and knelt on one knee: "Empress Dowager, our people are here!"

At this time, a middle-aged man with a majestic face in the east was walking in a military camp of 36 or 7 years old. He was the commander of Xin'an, Fujian, Longyan, Tingzhou, and Zhaomenzhai, called Ma Xinyi. In the 30th year of Daoguang, he followed the imperial envoy Yuan Jia to encircle and suppress the bandits. His first achievement was to recruit brave bandits Luzhou Daying and recover Luzhou. Since then, he has risen straight and repelled the bandits' disturbances against Fujian several times. Now he is the fourth-rank master.

The sound of killing outside was shocking, but he turned a deaf ear to him, his face was gloomy and he didn't know what he was thinking about.

"Sir! You're going to have an idea!" A green camp steward beside him was full of anxiety. The outside was almost in chaos. The master of the military official was still strolling in the garden. Isn't it rushing?

Finally, Ma Xinyi raised his head, his eyes flashed, and he squeezed out a cold sentence from his teeth: "Tell me the order, and go to the rogue shield formation to kill the rioters in the military camp!"

Ah? The guard opened his mouth in surprise. No one knew what was going on in the chaos outside? The guard camp is the Imperial Guard, can he just do it?

Although I heard that the Green Camps in the south, north and west had fired with the imperial guards, there was only a small-scale conflict on the east side of Lord Ma's guard, which was still calm. Because Lord Ma's strict military control, he had already passed the orders, and all the Green Camps under his command were not allowed to move around and stand by in the military camps, and those who violated the orders were killed.

But who knew that the second order of lord would be shocked.

"Sir, do you want the younger one to go and tent?" Kill the imperial guards? The cool breeze blew from the back of the neck.
