After the rebirth, the empress took the tragic script of Meiqiang

Chapter 56 Short Soldiers

Ye Qinghuai turned around and saw from a distance a man and a horse galloping towards Zhengde North Street outside Donglin Gate.

Horses are not allowed to be ridden on Zhengde North Street. Violators may be punished with lese majeste and be imprisoned and fined.

But the visitor obviously didn't care. He galloped on the main road and ran very fast. In a matter of seconds, he had reached the end of North Street.

As he got closer, Ye Qinghuai could see clearly who was coming.

Who is the man on horseback with broad shoulders and narrow waist, wearing black clothes and a long sword, not Lu Yanchen?

Ye Qinghuai was shocked at first.

Why did he come here alone? Shouldn't he go to Leizhou to rescue Wang Lisong?

Immediately, a glimmer of hope and joy came into her heart.

No matter why he came, things have changed again now.

This was the first time Ye Qinghuai saw him riding a horse. It had to be said that Lu Yanchen's riding skills were very good, his posture was calm and natural, and he was as dashing as a shooting star.

Although Ye Qinghuai can also ride a horse, the difference between "knowing" and "being good at" can still be seen at a glance.

He galloped wildly and showed no intention of slowing down until he reached the Donglin Gate. Seeing his charging posture, the Zuoyamen guard outside the gate couldn't help but turn his spear to face the galloping horses.

Ye Qinghuai was also sweating in his heart. What was he going to do?

I saw Lu Yanchen holding the reins tightly with one hand, lowering himself on the horse, and clasping the dark ancient sword at his waist with one hand. The moment the horse rushed to the guard, the sword in his hand suddenly came out of its sheath.

.

Chu Dingguo was worthy of being the leader of the martial arts school in the 15th year of Xingrui. He subconsciously raised his sword to block Lu Yanchen's sword. However, the opponent attacked too quickly. He didn't even have time to unsheath it, so he blocked it with the sword still in its sheath.

For a moment.

Even so, Lu Yanchen's sword, carrying the power of the horse's charge, was unstoppable and still knocked him back two steps.

The two guards beside him did not have such good luck. Both of them received Lu Yanchen's sword firmly on their gun-holding arms. Although they were protected by wrist armor, the strong force of the sword still hurt them.

Muscles and bones, the spears in both men's hands fell to the ground, and they also knelt on the ground in pain.

In just one turn, Lu Yanchen easily broke through the defense line of the outer door and drove his horse into the doorway.

The moment he entered the doorway, Lu Yanchen and his horse seemed to melt into the darkness for a moment, and for a moment he couldn't clearly see his figure.

Almost at the same moment, Ye Qinghuai felt as if a strong wind was blowing above his head, which was chilling.

Then, an exclamation suddenly came from behind her.

"General——"

The panic could not be concealed in the shouts.

Ye Qinghuai turned around and saw an astonishing scene.

General Xu Liang of the Military Guard leaned backward on a guard, with a dark ancient dagger stuck straight on his forehead.

It was the one in Lu Yanchen's hand.

Xu Liang's eyes widened in surprise, as if he wanted to say something, but before he could say anything, two lines of blood dripped from his forehead along the bridge of his nose.

The guard behind him seemed to be frightened, and after a long while, he screamed and pushed his body away.

Ye Qinghuai was also stunned.

Lu Yanchen's dagger is the style of an infantry sword, and it is a traditional ancient sword. This kind of sword is short and wide. Although it is double-edged, it is not sharp because of its wide blade. Lu Yanchen can

What kind of accuracy and physical strength is required to pierce a broad-edged dagger weighing several kilograms into a person's head from a few dozen steps away?

Ye Qinghuai turned around and saw Lu Yanchen pulling on the reins. The fast horse neighed and stopped in front of Ye Qinghuai.

The horse paced back and forth in front of Ye Qinghuai for a few more steps. Lu Yanchen rode on the horse and held the reins tightly, fearing that the horse would collide with Ye Qinghuai. However, his eyes were still looking in the direction of Xu Liang, dark

His eyes seemed to be condensed with sharp and piercing cold blades, and they were murderous.

After confirming that the right yamen guard would not move for the time being, he lowered his head and looked at Ye Qinghuai.

The moment he saw Ye Qinghuai, his eyes lit up. Ye Qinghuai felt that he seemed to want to smile at her, but after seeing the blood stains on Ye Qinghuai's court uniform, his expression suddenly became solemn again.

Already.

Lu Yanchen raised his legs and jumped off the horse, landing lightly on the ground. He looked at Ye Qinghuai with worried eyes and blamed himself: "My rescue was late, where is your Majesty injured?"

Ye Qinghuai lowered his head and looked at his court clothes and said: "I am not injured, this is other people's blood."

Lu Yanchen breathed a sigh of relief visibly.

"Why are you here, sir?"

"I received the news that Your Majesty was in trouble, so I came here first." Lu Yanchen replied.

Ye Qinghuai frowned: "Where is Wang Lisong?"

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, there is always someone around him, nothing will happen to him."

Ye Qinghuai thought for a while, Lu Yanchen had always been prudent in doing things, so he said so, so there should be no need to ask any more questions.

"Kill him and avenge the general!" At this time, the right yamen guard suddenly recovered from the shock, and someone shouted angrily.

Ye Qinghuai and Lu Yanchen turned back to look at the dark guards at the inner door.

Even though Xu Liang died, their situation did not improve much.

Ye Qinghuai couldn't help but ask: "Sir, did you come alone? Is there any backup plan?"

Lu Yanchen did not answer her, but looked at the outer door. Several guards at the outer door had been slashed by him before, and now they were still lying in a mess beside the door.

The outer door is quite clear.

"I dare to ask your majesty, what is your majesty going to do when you risk your life to leave the palace?" Lu Yanchen asked.

"I'm going to Chengtianmen."

Lu Yanchen turned around and looked at Ye Qinghuai, with a mixture of relief and worry in his eyes.

He hesitated for a moment, then suddenly took Ye Qinghuai's right hand and put the reins in his hand into hers. Then he took a step forward, his tall back completely covering Ye Qinghuai's eyes.

Only then did Ye Qinghuai realize that there was a scimitar stuck to his waist. It was of a type that Ye Qinghuai had never seen before. It looked somewhat similar to an ordinary knife, except that there was a slight curvature at the tip.

, the blade is very long, only a little shorter than the Long Yuan Sword.

Lu Yanchen turned his back to Ye Qinghuai and slowly pulled out the scimitar from his side. When the knife was unsheathed, a cold and dazzling light shone in Ye Qinghuai's eyes.

She was an arm's length away from Lu Yanchen, and she could still feel the evil aura emanating from the blade.

That kind of evil spirit seemed to have sucked the blood of countless people.

Lu Yanchen took half a step, holding the knife in front of him with both hands. He did not look back and said to Ye Qinghuai: "Your Majesty, do what you want to do. I will leave this place to you. I will never let any of them step out of Donglin Gate.

.”

Ye Qinghuai looked at his back and wanted to persuade him, but didn't say anything.

She turned back and looked outside Donglinmen. There was no one on Zhengde North Street. The afternoon sun shone on the painted red palace gate, which was a bit dazzling.

Ye Qinghuai tightened his grip on the reins.

She turned around, clasped her hands and pushed forward, bowed deeply to Lu Yanchen, and said, "Please, sir."

After saying that, she pulled the breastband on the side of the horse's neck, stepped on the stirrups, and turned over.

Ye Qinghuai rode on the horse and took one last deep look at Lu Yanchen. His figure was as straight as the first time she saw it in Wenxuan Hall. And what was standing in front of him at this moment was

Hundreds of guards rushed over with swords raised.

Ye Qinghuai pulled the reins, turned the horse's head, pinched the horse's belly hard, and rushed out the door.

When she rushed out of the door, she heard Lu Yanchen's voice coming from the door.

"Brothers of Zuo Yawei!"

The eight-man team responded: "Here we are!"

"It is Lu's good fortune to live and die with you all."

He smiled and was the first to raise his sword and pounce on the enemy.
