Chapter 376 Funeral Rock·Graveside Disco·Chu
After a few breaths, Chu Pingsheng had already disappeared, and Yan Xiaoyi, the strongest person in the young generation of the Qing Kingdom, lifted him up with awareness. He raised his head and looked at the dark night sky with doubts on his face.
Although His Majesty the Emperor dismissed the guards around the Taiji Hall, the entire imperial city was still in turmoil. Ye Zhong and his garrison were still at the south gate. The Qin family also arrived at the root of the imperial city. Yan Ruohai and Zhu Ge All the masters of Grade 7 and above from the Overwatch Council were mobilized to stand by.
Two hours later, the prince in the east palace, the queen in the west palace, the second prince and Fan Jian in the south of the city, Lin Ruofu in the prime minister's palace in the east of the city, and Ye Zhong and Yan who were waiting under the palace wall. Ruo Hai, Qin Ye and other important officials in the imperial court all received shocking news.
The Empress Dowager passed away!
In the Guangxin Palace, Li Yunrui, who had regained her mobility, was sitting on the crescent moon couch, staring blankly at the remains of the nude painting that she had torn into pieces and thrown into the brazier to burn into ashes.
Her mother is dead?
Killed by that assassin?
Compared to people like Fan Jian and Lin Ruofu, she was much better informed when she was in the palace.
Not only did she know that the assassin killed the Queen Mother, she also knew that the assassin was a great master.
So the question is, the great grand master would actually do such a vulgar thing as painting her naked body? Are you so careless about your identity? Even the lunatic Si Gu Jian was not as crazy as him.
……
Seven days later.
The news of the death of the Empress Dowager spread throughout the four regions, and the whole country mourned.
The city of Kyoto is even more plain. Any colors related to celebrations have been eliminated. The doors of red mansions and brothels are closed, butcher shops are closed, restaurants are closed, and the red lanterns hanging in all government offices have been replaced with white lanterns. , the Qing Temple outside the city will ring a hundred bells every hour. The imperial officials all wear plain clothes. No matter they are the concubines in the palace or the women on the street, they are not allowed to apply rouge or wear jewelry, even in the hands of the guards guarding the city gate. The red tassel of the spear was wrapped in thick white cloth.
All vehicles and pedestrians entering the city will be strictly inspected, and even carriages transporting red beans and carrots will be blocked from the city if they are not properly covered.
Black, white and gray are the safest colors during this period.
Everyone is honest and honest, except for one person, who is wearing a red robe, a red headband, leading a red horse, and even the water bag hanging on his waist is red. Dressing up is more festive than the groom's official son beating gongs and drums to pick up the bride.
All the people queuing up to enter the city were dumbfounded. Even the guards at the city gate stared at the man blankly, thinking that he must be tired of living. How dare he come to Kyoto dressed like this during the national mourning period?
Of course, judging from the characteristics of the clothing, this conspicuous bag is not from the Qing Dynasty, but should come from the western grasslands.
While others are wearing plain clothes, he is wearing red. This is enough to show off. The key is that there is a white ape with red ribbons wrapped around his hands sitting on the maroon horse. The horse's hooves are banging, and the leather drum in its hand is banging. It's super rhythmic, with red ribbons flying up and down, as if they are afraid that others will not see the two of them.
The person who dared to make trouble with Tai Sui was naturally none other than Chu Pingsheng, who had pretended to be the great master of Xihu, Bai Feng, and then came to pretend to be a visiting scholar of Xihu.
He told Emperor Qing that he was here to study. In fact, the study tour was a fake, and making trouble was his pursuit. This was such a great joy... Oh no, on the day of great mourning, if there is no news on time, how can it be worthy of it? Main mission.
There is no Chinese civilization here, and Qingguo has nothing to do with his motherland or ethnic group. It is a place with no feelings at all, so naturally he can do whatever he wants to please himself.
This can be regarded as treating others in their own way, just like what Fan Xian did in Northern Qi.
"I wish you all to smile and be filled with joy." Chu Pingsheng said to the passers-by as he bowed his hands and said with a spring breeze on his face: "The gods in heaven have brought good news, the old man has arrived, the Supreme Lord is holding the fairy peach, and the twenty-eight stars have blessed you. Nao, the disease and calamity are gone, the coffins are surrounded by children and grandchildren, the birthday cakes are just right, the hunger is gone on the road to hell. "
What is heaven?
Who is Taishang Laojun?
Twenty-eight constellations? Never heard of it.
The people queuing up for security check at the city gate didn’t know, but they could all tell that this jingle was auspicious.
Normally, even if everyone didn't know him, they would still nod and smile. The problem was that it was the national mourning day, and this person acted like this, making everyone nervous and angry at the same time.
He is insulting Qingguo!
A few people from Kyoto in the team who often felt the emperor's kindness pointed at Chu Pingsheng and reprimanded him: "Where did you come from, a barbarian who dared to wear red during the national mourning? What are you doing, city gate officials, in such a daze?" , why don’t we take action quickly?”
Others agreed.
“It’s just looking for death.”
"He's not looking for death, he deserves to die!"
"Hurry up and arrest him!"
When the two city guards heard this, they hurriedly stepped forward to deal with it. The guard on the left with a red envelope on his nose walked straight away. He went to pull the red ribbon tied to the hands of King Lanling who was sitting on the horse: "Stop, don't knock."
His... ha...
The white ape grinned with a fierce look on his face. .
Another guard turned his spear and stabbed it with the handle, trying to push the damn monkey off the horse.
This suddenly angered King Lanling. He suddenly threw the leather drum and flew into the guard's arms. He stepped on the spear pole and held his head and twisted hard. With a creak, the guard's head turned. One hundred and eighty degrees, in front of the body and behind the face, eyes wide open, looking at the people waiting in line for the security check with pain and ferocity.
Dead...dead?
Someone shivered, collapsed on the ground, felt hotness in his crotch, and peed.
The linen bag someone was carrying fell to the ground, and the green fruits rolled all over the floor.
There are also people who just run away.
Killing the Kyoto defenders in the street? They have never seen such a thing, but it is certain that this move will definitely alert the garrison. The west gate will soon become a place of right and wrong. Don't run now? If there is a real fight later, the sword has no eyes, and your death will be in vain. The guard with a red and swollen nose saw the white ape being cruel, shouted loudly, and stabbed him with his gun.
King Lanling dodged sideways, bared his teeth and barked, reached out and grabbed the shaft of the spear and slashed hard, click, the spear broke into two pieces, he picked up the tip of the spear and moved forward One stab, poof, blood spattered, and the guard fell to the ground with a gun in his chest.
With just a few breaths, both guards were killed.
Too fierce.
No one expected the white ape to be so violent. When I saw it with a red ribbon on its wrist and a leather drum with its hand, I thought it was a pet used by its owner for fun. However, I didn’t expect that it could kill people cleanly and fiercely.
"You don't have any objection if I jump in line?"
Chu Pingsheng looked like he was fine and smiled, no matter whether he was scared to death or risking his life to eat. The spectators of the melon asked, but when they saw that they were just retreating and no one answered, they walked towards the city gate in a swaggering manner.
You dare to go to the city after killing the guards guarding the city? Who does this guy think he is?
You must know that Qingguo is the most powerful country in this continent. There is no foreign nation around that does not surrender and worship. How dare he do this? !
What's more, it was a national mourning, and the people were not allowed to kill chickens and cows. His pet actually killed the city guards in the street. Once it was taken to the Kyoto government office, how could it be enough to increase the crime by one degree? At least the crime will be increased to third level.
The people who stayed behind were basically people who were filled with indignation, felt themselves humiliated, and wanted to see his miserable end.
A few astute people looked up at the city gate tower. It stands to reason that it was a clear day and there was a commotion downstairs. The generals at the gate should have received the news. Why was it so quiet? No one comes out?
Things seem... a little off.
This strange situation further aroused the hearts of those onlookers who were not afraid of death. Seeing that the city gate was open and no one was checking, they gritted their teeth and followed ruthlessly.
The white ape carries two lives on his back, but he seems to have crushed two insignificant ants to death. He picks up the leather drum on the ground, jumps on the bay red horse, follows behind the owner, and continues to bang. Bang, bang, bang, bang, count the beats and hit the leather drum, making provocative faces from time to time.
It looked funny, but no one laughed.
One person and one monkey passed through the city gate. The pedestrians who heard the noise at the gate and gathered around to watch the excitement backed away and pointed at him. During the national mourning period, the open-air stalls on both sides of the long road had long been cleared, except for a few. The steamed stuffed bun shop, noodle shop, and fabric shop were still open. Some timid people did not dare to take a closer look, so they ran to the second-floor balconies of the buildings on both sides to take a look.
It’s so eye-catching!
The whole city was covered in white, but the man, the monkey, and the horse were all covered in festive red and walked forward with dignity.
The city defense army, which has not seen any movement for a long time, makes this incident even more mysterious. Some scholars who feel that the humiliation of the royal family is the humiliation of the Qing State, and the humiliation of the Qing State is the humiliation of themselves, are clamoring for the defense of the city from above. The soldiers quickly took action and chopped off the heads of the man and the monkey to show the power of the Qing Dynasty.
Don’t the soldiers at the top of the city not want to? They also thought about it, but before Pegasus left, the prison officer Manchu Khan strictly ordered them not to act without authorization. Anyone who disobeyed the order would be killed without mercy. The three Yi tribes.
Faced with such harsh punishment, who dares to move?
“Go to hell, you barbarian.”
A woman in her forties ran back to the shop, grabbed a lot of cabbage leaves, stones, eggs, etc., rushed out, covered her head and face, and threw them at Chu Pingsheng.
The stone hit the bay red horse on the head. The horse was frightened and almost overturned King Lanling.
“Humph.”
A faint hum sounded.
The aura of the white ape, who was acting playful just now, suddenly changed. He grinned and jumped away, smashing the woman's sternum with one punch.
puff.
A mouthful of bright red blood was spat out and sprinkled on the white and tender cabbage and the egg liquid that flowed all over the floor.
The man lay directly on the ground, hopeless.
Back in the world of Tianlongbabu, Wanyan Agu got drunk and yelled at the sky. After he found out, he drove his horse thousands of miles and killed thousands of Jurchen cavalry. Here, several Qingguo people pointed at his nose and cursed him. How could he do it? He stopped and explained patiently, you are not even qualified to be slaves of the Nanqing royal family. You are pigs, dogs and grass that can be sacrificed at any time. Why don't you carry the sedan chair for the Empress Dowager?
Ye Qingmei has done so much, trying to distribute the benefits of the nobility to the common people, but how many people in Kyoto City remember her? In the end, they didn’t only know about the Li royal family, but they also didn’t know that there was a revolutionary monument in front of the Supervisory Yuan.
Do you want him to waste more energy on such a thankless task as ideological reform? How is that possible! It's better to kill the chicken cleanly and scare the monkey. Set up a good character today and avoid a lot of trouble in the future.
As for whether this person is innocent...
Then the Northern Qi people who have been killed by Qing are not innocent? You must know that the war with Northern Qi in the plot was unilaterally initiated by Emperor Qing, and Qing was the party that launched the invasion. Since she chose to regard the Qing Kingdom royal family as her honor and belief, and knew that Bai Yuan dared to attack him after killing the guard, then there is nothing innocent about fighting for honor and belief, and dying for honor and belief.
"Old woman..."
A middle-aged man holding a kitchen knife and smelling of mutton buns rushed out from behind. He threw himself next to the woman and cried twice. He raised his head with the knife and said His face flushed with hatred.
Chu Pingsheng looked at him contemptuously and continued walking forward.
The white ape bared his teeth and smiled, a bloodthirsty smile.
