Retreat, Retreat, Retreat!

Because the little emperor will be canonized the queen in Taimiao, so this ancestor worship is a rare big ceremony.

On the day of the Great Sacrifice, the sky was twilight, and the light blue light slowly emerged from the horizon, spreading obliquely on the heavy snow that had not disappeared overnight in the capital. The towering pavilion, the vermillion walls and the black tiles, the black and black embroidered golden dragon's flag was spread in the fierce cold wind, accompanied by the long and powerful horns and drums, the front door of the Taimiao was slowly pushed open by several powerful men, and then he was dressed in silver and white Shenxuan in the python robe came riding on a horse, followed by hundreds of fans wearing pointed hats and dark brown martial arts robes.

The fans entered in file, quickly lined up along Taimiao Avenue, and then Huo Tian led Jin Yiwei to enter the road. After Jin Yiwei, it was the emperor's dragon and the queen mother and the queen's phoenix.

The East Factory is majestic and majestic, Jinyiwei is handsome, and the dragons are majestic. After Long Nian, there were thirty-six servants and court ladies each holding a canopy and holding tributes. After that, there were a queue of hundreds of officials and a carriage of the elder princesses.

Xiao Changning raised the curtain of the car to look out, and couldn't help taking a deep breath of the cold air, and said, "Here."

While talking, the carriage happened to pass by the Dongchang Fanzi standing on the side of the road, while Shen Xuan was wearing a silver-white python robe and a black cloak, riding a sword on the horseback, silently looking down at her.

There was a brief intersection between the two people's sights, and Xiao Changning saw a reassuring power in Shen Xuan's eyes. However, before she could say hello, Shen Xuan turned her horse's head and said in a deep voice, "Welcome your majesty to get off."

Xiao Changning had to reluctantly retract his gaze and focus his attention on the sacrifice.

The team of the sacrificial ancestor passed through the front door, entered through the halberd door, and passed the incense burner. When he arrived at the incense burner, he couldn't go any further. The emperor had to get out of the car and walk, personally light the flame in the incense burner and recite the sacrificial text.

When the carriage stopped and the vigorous horn sounded again, Xiao Changning straightened the sleeves of gold and silver, slowly bent over to get up, and helped Xia Lu's arm get out of the carriage.

The dawn just broke, and the morning light pierced the darkness in an instant, like golden gauze blowing over the white snow, shining on the majestic capital, and also lighting up Xiao Changning's exquisite red makeup.

The sky and the earth are vast, and the universe is vast. Standing here, you only feel that all living beings are like a drop in the ocean.

Today the little emperor is wearing a majestic mian suit, with a slightly thin body standing in the forefront of the hundred officials, like a reed that may be broken at any time. He walked to Feng Nian and bowed, and respectfully invited out the queen mother who was in charge of government affairs, and his beautiful and powerful... queen.

With a distance of ten feet away, Xiao Changning could also clearly feel the tension of her brother: His trembling hand holding Liang Yourong must be so nervous that it was full of cold sweat?

On the contrary, Liang Yourong, who is about to become a queen, is much more calm. She was dressed in a phoenix robe, and the flower-tin and lichai gently swayed with the pace, calmly stepping on the high platform where the incense burner stood side by side with the emperor, as if she had become the queen of the mother's ritual world, and she was just performing a task.

Xiao Huan stood in the hunting cold wind, reading the sacrificial text aloud. After the lengthy ceremonies, the tedious canonization ceremony.

Xiao Changning's heart is no longer on the canonization ceremony. She looked around calmly, trying to find some traces of the crisis from the face of the Queen Mother and the deployment of Jin Yiwei, but she did not find any abnormalities.

Then, Baiguan sent the emperor and empress and his wife into the main hall to worship the ancestors of the Xiao family. The regulations were carried out in an orderly manner, and Xiao Changning's heartstrings were also stretched to the extreme.

The main hall of the Taimiao is sealed off on all sides and there is no exit. It is really the best place to ambush. If Jin Yiwei suddenly attacked here and surrounded the main hall with his hands, everyone would be like a turtle in the urn with nowhere to escape and could only be slaughtered...

However, until the end of the sacrifice, the expected battle did not come.

Everything was too peaceful, and it was terrifyingly peaceful.

"What the **** is going on?" On the carriage back to the East Factory, Xiao Changning frowned and was puzzled: Could the Queen Mother really give up doing it?

But where does the faint anxiety in my heart come from?

Just as she was thinking, Xia Lu outside the carriage opened the gauze curtain and interrupted her thoughts with a crisp sound: "Your Royal Highness, Chief Officer Lin, please see me."

Lin Huan?

Xiao Changning's eyes lit up, and he straightened up a little bit, saying, "Let him come over."

Just as he was talking, Lin Huanru, wearing a martial arts robe, landed in shock, leaped into Xiao Changning's carriage lightly, and naturally sat beside her.

The two of them stared at them for a long while, and Lin Huan suddenly remembered something and explained: "The factory supervisor asked me to come."

Xiao Changning hoped to say: "He... didn't you ask you to bring anything over?"

Lin Huan shook her head, stared at the jujube cake on the table in front of her, and swallowed quietly.

Xiao Changning asked again: "What happened to Jin Yiwei?"

Lin Huan blinked, her face blank.

"Forget it, eat it, I'll give it to you." Xiao Changning sighed, stretched out his finger helplessly, and pushed the plate containing the jujube cake toward Lin Huan.

Lin Huan hesitated for a moment, but finally couldn't resist the temptation of the sweet and sour jujube cake. After asking Xiao Changning with his eyes, he carefully twisted a piece into his mouth, and was so happy that both eyes were narrowed into crescent moons.

When Xiao Changning saw Lin Huan's appearance, the dark clouds in his mood disappeared a lot. He lifted the gauze curtain and looked forward, only to see the street retreating, and the pavilions of the East Factory were faintly visible.

"I have reached the boundary of the East Factory, and the Queen Mother shouldn't do anything anymore..."

Before I finished speaking, I only heard a loud noise, "Boom——", the earth was shaking, and the ground of the whole child capital trembled three times.

Almost at the same time, Lin Huan faded from his ignorance, and his eyes suddenly became cold. He reacted quickly and drew the knife out of its sheath, flew out of the car.

Xiao Changning was caught off guard by the huge roar and leaned backwards. His forehead was placed on the wall of the carriage. His eyes were dark for a while, and it took a long time to feel the sound. Suddenly, the noisy shouts flooded into his ears. middle. She barely sat up straight and said blankly: "What, what's wrong?"

Lin Huan went back and forth, sitting beside Xiao Changning with a persistently unsheathed knife, and said with a serious expression: "Jin Yiwei was buried in the East Factory, and it exploded just now, and a fire broke out in the factory."

"What?" Xiao Changning was shocked. She never expected that the Queen Mother did not choose to do it at the time of sacrifice, but was caught off guard when she relaxed on the way back to the East Factory!

"What about Shen Xuan? What happened to him?" Xiao Changning didn't care about the painful forehead, got up to get out of the car, but was stopped by Lin Huan.

"The factory supervisor is leading the rest of the staff to confront Huo St." Lin Huan put her back on the embroidered cushion and said solemnly, "Your Highness, don't move around, it's dangerous outside."

As soon as the voice fell, Empress Dowager Liang's scream came from the crowd: "Dongchang admiral and **** Shen Xuan intends to murder the emperor and the queen! Come, take him for the Ai's family!"

As soon as this statement came out, it was like a hurricane swept across, causing a thousand layers of waves.

The sound of horseshoes sounded, and it seemed that there was a faint Shenxuan voice, which was covered by noisy human voices, and it was not really heard...

"What did he say? Let me go down! This palace is the emperor's sister, and this palace can testify, he has no intention of rebelliousness!" She got up in panic. Before getting out of the carriage, she saw a chaotic arrow pierced through the air. Come, cross the carriage wall and nail it under her feet.

There was the sound of ping-pong swords, Xia Lu screamed and cried: "Your Highness! Don't come out, Your Highness! It's killing outside!"

Xiao Changning was taken aback for a moment, then fell into the car without strength, and muttered: "Has... already started the war?"

Lin Huan used the tip of a knife to pick up the curtain of the car, looked out, nodded and said, "It's a fight."

"No, I can't add chaos to him. Shenxuan said that no matter what happens, my palace must protect himself." Xiao Changning took a few deep breaths, forced himself to calm down, and asked with a trembling voice: "Shenxuan has taken it. How many people?"

Lin Huan said: "There are people from Fang Wujing and Jiang She, about half of the number of people in the East Factory. My people are all by your side, your Highness, and Chief Wu stayed behind in the East Factory, but the factory exploded just now. He didn't have any information. I don’t know if it’s dead or alive."

Half of the people... there are only a few hundred people, and Jin Yiwei, excluding Yueyao's Beizhen Fusi, also has 3,000 people! Even if Shen Xuan is naturally tough, how can he beat an opponent who is many times stronger than him?

Thinking of this, Xiao Changning's eyes sank and said: "Xiao Linzi, don't care about me, go and help Shen Xuan!"

Lin Huan was unmoved.

"Lin Huan!" She increased her tone, "This palace commands you as the admiral's wife!"

"No. I only listen to the orders of the factory supervisor." Lin Huan said slowly with wide eyes. "The order the factory supervisor gave me is to protect you, and to protect you when you die."

"you……"

"Hush, madam, don't speak, someone is coming."

Lin Huan suddenly turned his head, and tightly locked outside of the carriage curtain with a cold and stern look that was completely different from the past, his five fingers slowly spread and clenched, holding the scabbard.

...

Thick smoke billowed in the direction of the east factory, and the air was filled with saltpeter mixed with the smell of burning houses, and the monstrous flames skyrocketed, swallowing everything like a tongue of fire. On the moat in front of Donghua Gate, the official road was narrow, and more than 500 Dongchang Fanzi held swords and confronted the three thousand Jinyiwei who were pressed by the river across the river.

Wearing a flying fish suit and holding an embroidered spring knife, Huo Ji is riding on a tall horse, looking at Shen Xi in the distance, and said in a deep voice: "Floating clouds cover the sun, treacherous eunuchs are in charge, flattering the emperor, and playing with the situation. Shen Xi, the East Factory has been destroyed. , You’re gone, why do you need a man’s arm as a car!"

Shen Xuan calmly wiped away the traces of blood stained on her face during the melee, her eyebrows were pressed, her eyes were cold as frost and snow, and she sneered: "I'm pretty small, there's a lot of nonsense."

Huo Wei twisted his thick eyebrows and raised his hand to signal: "Despite his life and death, take him down!"

Shen Xuan also raised her hand at the same time, commanding: "Fang no mirror!"

"Go!" Fang Wujing smiled softly, narrowed his slender and gorgeous eyebrows, and took out several thorny iron **** from his arms. At the moment Jin Yiwei rushed up, he jumped up and threw the iron ball at the dozens of people who rushed first!

Seeing that there was a hidden weapon, those Jinyi guards subconsciously lifted the knife to block it. Who expected the iron spike ball to hit the blade and exploded like a... No, it was more terrifying than a...!

It turns out that the densely protruding spikes on each iron ball are not thorns, but hundreds of thin iron arrows arranged closely together! As soon as the iron ball is hit by the weapon and the internal mechanism rotates, the iron thorns will shoot out in all directions like a rain of arrows, instantly knocking down all the Jinyiwei within a radius of several meters!

"Wait, don't act rashly! The chief of the East Factory Blue Dragon is proficient in hidden weapons, so don't get close to everyone!" Huo Que said quickly, and quickly adjusted the plan, "Bow-crossbowman ready! Shoot this person first!"

"Yes!"

Jin Yiwei quickly adjusted the deployment, everyone backed more than ten steps, and the bow-crossbowman quickly moved forward to fill the vacancy, bending the bow and pointing the arrow at the Dongchang Fanzi across the bridge.

Huo Wei raised his hand and shouted violently: "Let go..."

Before I finished speaking, I saw a feather arrow first burst into the air with a fierce wind, and shot directly at Huo Jie's heart! Huo Jie's pupils shrank, and quickly drew his sword and slashed away, only having time to cut off the feather arrow, but the iron arrow still inertially moved forward and plunged into Huo Jie's left chest!

That feather arrow is so powerful, and very human can do it! Huo Que was hit by the huge impact and fell on his back and fell off his horse!

"Master Commander!"

"There is a sharpshooter in Dongchang Fanzi! Be careful, everyone!"

Jin Yiwei hurriedly picked up Huo Stall, who had fallen off his horse, and the men who were still aggressive were all timid at this time, and a riot broke out in the crowd.

Huo Que pushed away the soldier who was supporting him with a sullen face, drew half of the arrow with his backhand, and took out a heart-guard that was almost shot through from his arms-if he hadn't had this, he would have died.

"Jiang, shot!" Huo Wei bit his posterior molars, his eyes were gloomy and terrible, the chewing muscles on his cheeks were constantly agitating, and he said cruelly: "Today's last battle, Jin Yiwei and Dongchang can only survive one side! Kill!"

"kill!"

At this time, on the other side of the street, Xiao Changning's carriage suddenly sank, and then, a powerful sword aura came in the air, cutting the entire roof of the carriage and turning it into powder!

Xiao Changning only had time to see a red shadow flashing by, and Lin Huan was knocked out of the car, tumbling several times, and fell into the grocery store on the side of the road.

"Lin Huan!"

Xiao Changning was shocked and leaned out of the tattered carriage, but saw a girl in red standing in front of her with a sword, walking towards her slowly against the wind.

"The rebels of the East Factory have all been punishable! The palace is ordered by the empress dowager to rescue the princess Changning and return to the palace."

When Liang Yourong said something, he untied a cumbersome ornament on her body: the gorgeous phoenix crown was thrown on the ground, the exquisite phoenix fell into the dust, the expensive phoenix robe floated in the wind, revealing the martial robes with sleeves inside...

The red dress is like a butterfly, and the robe flies up and down. She lost everything that was tied up, and stood alone like a female warrior holding a sword, calmly looking at Lin Huan who had risen from the ruins, and said: "Give me Changning, and the palace keeps your whole body."
