Chapter 372 Who Comes From

Chen Duwei blinked his eyes, his body shook slightly, and then he fell off the horse and fell heavily to the ground.

"Captain!"

The guards exclaimed, and several of them got off their horses to help, while looking up at the front.

The man in the darkness lowered his longbow, and the wide street opened up behind him, and the snow fell like goose feathers.

"Chasing!" Several guards roared and patted their horses forward.

The soldiers rushed up on foot.

The man watched them run, without moving. The horse was a little uneasy, pawing its hooves on the snow.

After they were only thirty steps away from him, the man pulled the rein unhurriedly, turned the horse's head, and headed towards the east street.

The remaining thousands of soldiers and horses are still on the bridge, and the lake under the bridge is covered with ice, and the cold is even worse.

I don't know what happened in the front, and it took a long time to hear the bad news. Chen Duwei was shot to death with an arrow!
The scene suddenly became chaotic, and everyone was shocked.

The army of the Xuanwu Army stayed outside the city, and only 2000 soldiers and horses entered Beijing with Xuanwu General Feng Lei. This time, Captain Chen brought [-] people to follow the emperor's order, and his deputy general and supervisor followed Feng Lei on the long street in the distance. cleaning plan.

Chen Duwei's body was getting colder and colder, and soldiers had rushed back on horseback to tell them, but it took at least half an hour to go back and forth.

The remaining two guards didn't know what to do. On the one hand, they didn't dare to make decisions without authorization, and on the other hand, they were afraid of delaying the emperor's life.

After repeated deliberations, they finally gritted their teeth. They insisted on ordering Duwei Chen's body to be taken back, while continuing their journey to Dongping Academy.

But when they got off the bridge and reached the intersection, everyone was shocked to find that none of the soldiers and horses chasing the man in black had gone far. On the empty snowy ground in the east street, they were lying in disorder at a distance, and the horses beside them lost their owners. Wandering aimlessly.

The wind and snow roared from the end of the long street, and a guard roared loudly: "I'll kill you bastard!"

After scolding him, he fixed his eyes, and in the dim light further away, the figure of that man seemed to appear again, tall and straight, riding calmly on the horse, looking at them from a distance.

But he was no longer alone. There seemed to be four or five more people behind him, so vague and indistinct.

"Master, this son of a bitch seems to be cursing someone." Dai Yu shouted.

"You're also swearing." Shen Lie said.

"He scolded first!"

"Come on," Shen Lie lightly pulled the rein and turned around, walking to the other side, "After all, I killed someone."

"Where are you going, young master?" Dai Yu looked at him, "Shall we continue to play with them?"

"No," Shen Lie said, "I can't beat it."

Dai Yu looked at his back, with such a serious tone, Dai Yu couldn't help muttering: "...Do you want to be so direct?"

The front of Dongping Academy was brightly lit, and dozens of carriages and horses that followed were blocked by Song Qingtang's soldiers and horses.

People who don't know why have just experienced a catastrophe of life and death, and now they are all swearing.

From time to time, people in the academy came out to ask about the situation and test Song Qingtang.

The frost and snow on the ground was trampled by people coming and going, Song Qingtang's handsome face was gloomy, he didn't want to talk to people, and occasionally replied with a word or two, and finally got annoyed and made people go away.

Another person was scolded by him and left helplessly, but unfortunately he couldn't go back to the school, because what Song Qingtang said was wrong, even the person who was sent to sniff out the news was no exception.

Song Qingtang watched the man being thrown into the pile of horses and carriages outside by the soldiers' arms, and then looked at a woman standing on the carriage crying loudly, pointing at her waist and cursing at herself.

The woman is dressed in fine clothes and her family background should be good. She is the one who scolds the most ruthlessly. It is not because her scolding is so vicious, but because she is the most persistent and never stops from the beginning to the end.

Song Qingtang waved back and silently summoned a guard.

"General Lang." Jin Wei stepped forward and said.

"Twenty mouths," Song Qingtang looked at the woman and said, "You do it yourself."

Konoe looked over and paused: "Hit... a woman?"

"Be careful," Song Qingtang said, "I haven't slept all night, and I have a bad temper. I have tolerated her for a long time."

The guard nodded and walked over.

At the same time, several teenagers came from there, stood outside the soldiers and waved their hands at Song Qingtang.

Song Qingtang looked at it, glanced at it, and then looked away.

These young men were pale, they all came here on horseback, they were the sons of various officials in the capital, many of them had been with him since childhood.

"General Lang," one of the subordinates behind him looked over there and couldn't help saying, "They..."

"I don't even recognize my own father," Song Qingtang said coldly, "They will seek whomever they like."

There was a crisp slap on the side, and the twenty were over soon.

The teenagers looked at the woman who was crying from the blood drawn out, and then at the guard who returned from the slap.

"Why is Erlang ignoring us?"

"What is Erlang going to do? Dongping Academy doesn't give us admission, and even we don't care about it?"

"Is something going to happen?"

"But aren't we here tonight because of what happened?"

……

Boys, you say a word, I say a word, and you can see the uneasiness in each other's eyebrows and eyes.

They came here tonight because of the atrocities on the street, because of Qingshan Academy, because many of their fathers were officials in the court, and they are trapped in the palace wall at this time.

The sky gradually turned from dark to dark blue, and more and more people came here, among them were many teenagers and daughters in fine clothes, Song Qingtang also saw his not-so-close cousin, Wuniang Song Yuting here.

The flames were bright, illuminating everyone's faces.

Song Qingtang ignored everything and continued to stay where he was.

At about [-]:[-] Yinshi, a soldier came galloping from the front on horseback: "General Lang!"

Song Qingtang's heart sank, and he strode forward.

The soldier quickly jumped off his horse and said in a low voice, "Here we come! There are a lot of people! They are really here! It's the Xuanwu Army!"

Song Qingtang nodded: "Okay, I understand, you have worked hard."

It came much later than expected, and he even took a chance, thinking that he wouldn't come, or it was just a rumor.

Song Qingtang looked up at the snowy ground ahead, clenched the spear in his hand, and said, "Cheer up!"

"Yes!" All the soldiers responded.

The front is the entrance of Huaizhou Street. When you come, you will pass the gate of Guofu.

The Guo Mansion was not lit tonight, and in the dim light, everyone gradually saw the Xuanwu Army going ahead.

The heavy snow without lights was dark and white, and those Xuanwu soldiers who came late looked at Huaizhou Street here, and they were all stunned.

Compared with the quietness of Qingshan Academy, Dongping Academy is almost ready to wait for them.

Although it was expected in advance, after all, Dongping Academy would not be unaware of the accident at Qingshan Academy, but this battle was too unexpected for them.

Song Qingtang's face was tense, and he looked at them coldly. When they were about to approach, Song Qingtang held the spear in his hand, strode forward, and shouted: "Who is here!"

The remaining two guards glanced at each other, and the older one stepped forward and said loudly, "Who are you?"
