Chapter 1555 Death knell late at night

"Hundred Generals, that token just now..."

"What token?"

"It's the suspicious mother and son just now..."

"What mother and son?"

"It's the woman before the head of the Grand Tutor's Mansion came..."

"Nothing is nonsense, there is no woman. Don't cause trouble for me in the past few days, otherwise you will be beaten to death!"

"Yes, I don't dare!"

On the dark and cold street, General Lin Bai strode with great strides, and a soldier caught up with him, and the team went away during the question and answer.

The defense change in the South Gate was not very normal. At this time, almost all the four gates in Xianyang were being carried out at the same time. Although the warrants did not completely comply with the rules, today was indeed different from usual. In addition, there were tokens for the dispatch of troops from each battalion, all the soldiers and generals guarding the gate did not think much about it.

What's more, if you can go back half an hour in advance, why not do it?

Recently, Xianyang City has been too depressed. Whether in the court or the people, they all feel like they are overwhelmed by dark clouds.

Especially after His Majesty returned to the capital today, there was a miserable mist in the palace, and all kinds of rumors were circulating secretly, and true and false mixed together, which made people even more panic.

Even the real power ministers like Meng Yi felt anxious, not to mention ordinary nobles and officials, and the number of patrol guards on the streets that have several times more than usual, I am afraid that I can't sleep this night.

And after today, where should tomorrow go?

Almost everyone was worried, and most people hoped that the First Emperor would recover as soon as possible.

But those with insider information have already started other arrangements. The First Emperor started to return to Beijing in the afternoon and only woke up once in the evening. He seemed to be more confused, with headaches and vomiting, and no one around him could remember it.

Because of Emperor Qin's illness, the palace was naturally in chaos, and the lights of the Zichen Palace were brightly lit. The palace servants and concubines and maids went back and forth like a lantern. Dozens of imperial doctors stayed inside and outside the Emperor Qin's bedroom and never left. They were exhausted and their eyes were blood red. Zheng Boqiao and several Miao doctors were also helpless, and they gathered with Xu Fu and others to argue and discuss medicine.

However, just as almost everyone's attention was focused on Zichen Palace and the seriously ill Emperor, in the dark night, countless imperial guards and a large number of people in black, were moved back and forth in the dark or hidden secrets, and the entire Xianyang slowly fell into a murderous cold.

Midnight, ugly time.

Everything was silent, almost when the entire Xianyang people fell asleep in anxiety.

Sudden.

"Dang~dang~dang~dang~dang~dang~dang~dang~dang~dang"

The continuous and thick bell sounds came from the palace, and countless people woke up from their sleep. After a moment of panic, they put on their clothes and listened with their ears on their ears. When they were wearing clothes, they faintly cried out from the palace.

Many people's faces changed drastically in an instant, and they had already guessed why the bell ringed in the middle of the night.

The First Emperor should have been buried in the sky.

In an instant, the entire Xianyang City was clamoring, and the lights of thousands of families were lit. The people also knelt in the courtyard and kowtowed and cried in the direction of the palace.

The First Emperor died, and all the people were sad.

A large number of imperial guards and palace eunuchs came out from all over the palace and rushed to the palaces of princes, princes, ministers, and important officials of the three provinces and six ministries to report the death.

"The palace is urgent and open the city gate quickly. The young mansion ordered us to leave the city and the Taishi Tongbing entered the city!"

At the east gate of Xianyang, a palace man and several eunuchs stood in front of the city gate holding a token and shouting.

"The commander is in charge. No one is allowed to enter the city and leave the city tonight. Retreat quickly. Those who violate the order will be killed!" A cold voice came from the city tower.

"Your Majesty's funeral, the Grand Master must enter the city to handle the funeral. He dares to violate the order and will surely break the three tribes..."

"Puff puff puff puff~"

A dense array of arrows hit the city, and the palace servants and several eunuchs fell down from the horse in an instant.

...

"Where is Feng Xiang? Your Majesty is in the sky, and the Young Mansion sends an order to go to the palace to discuss matters quickly!" Suddenly, a palace servant brought a group of imperial guards to summon the news in the south of the city.

Although Feng Quji, who was seriously ill, had been bedridden for many days, when he learned that Emperor First Emperor was celebrating the sky, he still criedly urged his wives, concubines and servants to dress him up and go out tremblingly. Then he was wrapped in a carriage and headed straight for the palace by a group of imperial guards.

"Report to your Majesty's funeral, the Young Mansion ordered Yang Li to quickly enter the palace to discuss and arrange the funeral!"

When the Ministry of Rites ordered Yang Zhu to get the news, he was dressed neatly, got on the car with tears in his eyes, and escorted a group of imperial guards to the palace to discuss matters.

The Ministry of War Order, the Ministry of Revenue Order, the CRRC Mansion Order...

In the palaces of the three provinces and six ministries and many princes and princes, almost at the same time, palace servants brought imperial guards to the door to pass the orders. It seemed that in an instant, the entire Xianyang street was full of the carriages of the imperial guards escorted by the imperial guards with torches, gathering one after another towards the east gate of the palace.

At the palace gate that was open late at night, there were also several times more guards guarding than usual. He held a long spear and pressed his waist knife, staring at the galloping carriage, checking the warrants and waist signs before releasing them.

...

There is panic in the city, and everything outside the city is silent

Qinghe Villa several miles southwest of Xianyang City.

Chen Xu, who had returned from home for half a year, reunited with his family last night. After washing away all the dust and fatigue, he drank two glasses of wine under the gentle service of his wife and concubines, hugged the fifth princess for a gentle and lingering feeling, and soon fell asleep.

I was in a daze and had no idea how long I had slept, but was awakened by a faint bell.

In the darkness, Chen Xu opened his eyes in a daze and looked at the sky outside the window. It was still pitch black, and it was not time to go to court.

"What happened?"

The bells are heard one after another, and after waking up, they are more clearly heard in the quiet night. The heavy bells are as melodious and heavy, but they seem a little impatient, not as rhythmic as usual.

The bell rings in the middle of the night...

No, Chen Xu suddenly sat up from the bed, reached out to pick up the clothes at the head of the bed and started to hurriedly put them on his body.

"Husband, why did you get up just midnight?" Ying Shiman, who was sleeping, was also awakened and sat up in a daze wrapped in a quilt to ask.

“Tu tu tu tu…”

Just as Chen Xu was about to speak, he heard an emergency slap by the door, and then a gentle and anxious voice sounded, "Husband, the bell of the palace is ringing. I am afraid that Your Majesty has collapsed, get up quickly!"

Chen Xu jumped out of bed and ran to the door barefoot to open the door. Shui Qingrou rushed in with only one pajama and quickly lit the candle, helping Chen Xu put on his clothes with an anxious expression.

"Sister Shui, what did you say? Father... Father has collapsed..." Ying Shiman, who was confused, instantly lost her inch.

"Shiman, don't panic. Maybe your majesty is fine, but the bell came suddenly, and the situation must be more urgent. I must go to the city now..."

Chen Xu put on his clothes randomly, put on his boots, picked up his usual shoulder bag and opened it for inspection. He syringe, Wu Poison Shuhun Water, and the set of needles left by Guiguzi at the beginning. After the inspection, there was no problem. He put two pistols on his back, and at the same time opened the box and took two boxes of bullets into his shoulder bag.

"Go and ask the housekeeper to prepare the carriage and horses. All the servants and guards of the marquis' mansion get up and distribute weapons. Don't go out after I leave. Close the gate of the courtyard. If there is an unknown person approaching and shoot directly..."

Chen Xu ordered while cleaning up, Shui Qingrou hurried out, and soon the entire Qinghe Hou Mansion was filled with people and bright lights. Boxes of rifles, pistols and grenades placed in the warehouse were taken out and distributed. A group of guards and musket teams were all cleaned up and put in neatly, and the carriages were ready soon.

"Remember what I said, no one is allowed to approach before I come back!" Chen Xu hurriedly got into the car and reminded the housekeeper and several managers again.

"Take good care of the fifth princess, don't worry, I'm here, everything will not happen!"

Faced with a group of panicked wives and concubines and Ying Shiman who was crying and unable to walk, Chen Xu could only instruct a group of maids.

"Husband, wait for me!" Just as the carriage started, Shui Qingrou had already changed into black clothes, and suddenly arrived with a short sword, opened the car door and jumped up.

"It's better to be gentle or stay at home..."

"No, there will definitely be many crises tonight. I want to protect my husband!" Shui Qingrou looked at Chen Xu stubbornly.

"Well, come out~~"

Chen Xu yelled, and the carriage started immediately. Dozens of guards and more than 20 musketeers rushed forward and escorted Chen Xu out of Qinghe Villa with torches, and headed straight for Xianyang City in the dark night.

At this time, Xianyang City was already brightly lit, and even on the city wall, countless torches were lit. The shadows could be seen that the sounds of soldiers running back and forth and the sounds of sirens were heard one after another.

"You guys take my waist card and go to the experimental factory as soon as possible, so that Chen Xia can take everyone to the north gate within three minutes."

"Yes, Marquis!" A musket team member took a bronze token from the carriage window, and then took several team members to hold torches to the Academy of Sciences.

"You guys go to Yunlan Villa to find Meng Yun quickly and tell him to take everyone to Ximen in three minutes!"

"Here~" several guards also took the order and headed straight for the Montessori Farm with torches.

"Marty, your majesty is really dead?" The guard leader's eyes were filled with tears.

"I think it's not wrong. It's not a good thing to ring the bell late at night. Today, I'm afraid there will be chaos and conflicts in the city. Remember to defend tightly and not neglect it!"

Chen Xu looked out with a serious expression and looked at Xianyang City, which was getting brighter and brighter in the night. His heart was sad and his face became more and more cold and serious.

The picture shows how to see the story. Tonight may be the time to showdown with Hu Hai Group.

The carriage galloped in the dark, and a group of guards were silently sad. The farmer courtyards along the way were also awakened by the bells in the middle of the night. Countless people were dressed in clothes to get up to watch. Around Xianyang and on both sides of the Wei River, lights were lit one after another, slowly gathering into a brightly lit world. People roared, horses, neighed, chickens and dogs crowed. This night was destined to be a memory that many people could never erase in their lives.

“Hurry~~”

When Chen Xu's carriage arrived on the edge of the Wei River, the 1,000 marine teenagers led by Chen Xia and Xiang Yu were all wearing neat uniforms, with rifles, bullets, grenades and grenades neatly. Under the leadership of their respective instructors, they carried rifles and military flags and marched urgently. The purpose was to the north gate of Xianyang. There were only a few torches in the dark, but the team was not chaotic.

"Hurry up, darn, Master Tengteng beat you to death..."

Yunlan Villa, Meng Yun, who was sleeping late at night, was also awakened by the sudden bell sound. Before he could understand it, he was soon frightened by the news brought by Chen Xu's guards. For a moment, the villa was in chaos. The group of villas each took a few servants to several farms in the farm to gather people and transport gliders. After a full moment of noise, gliders were pushed out from the farmland forest covered by millet and headed straight to the north gate of Xianyang along the cement road.
