587 Blood Dyes the City Gate Red
The battle lasted until dawn.
Ping An truly saw the horror of the death squad. He even used shouting to try to break them down psychologically, but it was of no use. They still fought desperately.
Just try your best.
Later he figured it out. These people were bought and trained since childhood. They had similarities with the people in his master's medicine valley, but they were fundamentally different.
Master, Uncle Fang and others treated Tong Lin and his people as their own, and were even reluctant to register them as slaves at the government office. However, these people were treated as tools by their masters.
These people were also born after their mothers carried them for ten months, but for various reasons, they never lived a day of serious life for themselves.
He really couldn't continue killing them, so he basically just hit their hands and feet with sticks. What happened to them after they fell to the ground was none of his business.
"Master, are you hurt?" Lin Feng rushed to his master. He and Xiao Wu tried their best to stay by his side, but they were still separated several times.
"It's just a minor injury, nothing serious, how are you and Xiao Wu?"
Xiao Wu and Lin Feng looked at each other. Both of them were injured to varying degrees. It was difficult to avoid getting hurt in such a big battle.
Cleaning up the battlefield is not their job.
Ping'an and the other two bandaged each other's wounds. This was the little good medicine they had left. There was not much left now, so a gentleman still had to take care of the cost.
"Ping An, come quickly." Wang Tao shouted.
"Lin Feng, go and dismantle the gate, they can come out now."
The enemy's men were either dead or injured and lying on the ground, with no one standing.
Ping An ran over and took a look: "Godfather, why are you so badly injured?"
One of Hao Gandie's arms was chopped to the bone, and it is hard to see what has happened to the bone.
"It's okay, luckily it's just my left arm."
"Godfather, please sit down. I can't stop your bleeding if you stand."
Godfather Hao is not much shorter than him.
Ping An quickly bandaged his godfather's wound with his clean inner garments: "Godfather, I will disinfect and sew up your wound once we get into the city. Don't worry, I'm using the best medicines, your arm will be fine."
"Good boy, thanks to you, many people were saved today."
"Ping An, come on, my brother is injured too." Wang Tao shouted again, his voice shaking.
Ping An rushed over: "What's wrong, godfather?"
Wang Wei was already lying on the ground, his face pale: "It's okay, I was stabbed in the chest, I let it go, it wasn't stabbed deep, but I bled a lot."
With the help of Wang Tao, Ping'an quickly peeled off his godfather's cotton jacket and found that there was indeed no damage to his internal organs, but the wound was still very deep.
"Uncle, I'm afraid I don't have enough good medicine on me, do you have any?"
Lin Feng and Xiao Wu had also used up what they had. They had brought a lot of it specially, so there was still a lot of stock in the villa. But it would take half an hour to go back and forth to get it now.
Wang Tao took out the medicine from his arms. They always carried these medicines with them at all times.
Wang Wei looked at Ping An who was applying medicine to him without any confusion. This kid played a very important role today, even a decisive role.
"Godson, be my real eldest son in your next life."
Wang Tao shook his head. It was already this late and his brother was still thinking about these things.
"Okay, godfather, if I really become your biological son in the next life, you must be good to me." Ping An said with a smile, but his hands did not stop.
His stepfather Wan Changsheng told him the same thing, as did Mr. Wang. He didn't know whose biological son he would be in his next life, but he had agreed to it anyway, so it wouldn't matter which family he was.
"Of course, I will treat you well in this life."
General Hao came over at some point and said, "Why, you want to take my Ping An now? Ping An, you are going to be my son."
"Godfather, am I not your godson now? You have many sons. I will still be the eldest son of my Godfather Wang in my next life."
Ping An stood up and smiled.
But wherever he looked, there was red blood and dead bodies on the ground, and he couldn't laugh anymore.
"Godfather, there were still many people alive just now."
Wang Wei sighed, "Peace, these people were born without sin, but they have embarked on this path, destined to not live long. These people are orphans, trained to be death warriors since childhood. If they are injured and cannot escape, there is only one way out, and that is death."
Ping An's eyes were a little hot. These people were basically in their teens or twenties. If they were not dead, he would be willing to treat their injuries.
"Ping'an, how long can your formation here last? It is not convenient for us to accommodate these wounded for the time being." General Hao said with difficulty. They had to rush to the palace now.
They still didn't know how many soldiers the second prince had deployed in the palace.
Although people were sent to the nearby provincial capital to mobilize troops, it would probably take half the morning for them to arrive. That was the nearest provincial capital, and it would take even longer for those farther away.
"Godfather, their injuries need to be disinfected and bandaged again, including yours. I have already arranged for the emperor, the crown prince, and the crown prince. There is no need to rush to the palace. Why don't you wait for the large group of troops to arrive?"
Wang Wei smiled bitterly: "It's safe. The emperor and his family are safe, but the queen and her family are still in the palace. There are also many officials and their wives inside. We can't wait."
General Huang came over and said, "How about this? Send the seriously injured to the military camp outside Beijing. The military camp has everything, including military doctors and medicine."
General Hao, Wang Wei, and Duke Jingguo stopped talking. The wind was strong at the city gate and the weather was cold. A seriously injured person would not be able to bear it for a long time.
"General, let's take the emperor and his family to your home. Send more personal soldiers to guard them. More soldiers means more safety."
"Okay, I'll take my men with you. General Hao, you're seriously injured, so come with me. Prince, Duke, just bear the pain and help me manage these soldiers. To be honest, I'm not sure if there are any enemy troops here. After all, not all of them are my Huang family's army."
His Huang family army only brought 3,000 personal soldiers. Huang Zhan took some of them with him when he went to the northern border. He only had more than 1,000 people with him. There were a total of 20,000 troops in the camp outside the capital. Tonight, General Zhang led some people to rebel.
Fortunately, most of the soldiers chose to turn back after assessing the situation.
That was also because General Hao brought people to stabilize the situation, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.
Wang Wei and Duke Jingguo both nodded.
The dead bodies on the ground have to be collected and taken away. It is not a good idea to just leave them at the city gate.
The second prince attempted to control the five armies in Kyoto and the camp outside the capital, but all his attempts failed. He was defeated by the sudden large number of assassins. He thought he could control the emperor and the prince and control the princes, but he was accidentally saved by Master Ping An and his apprentice.
It can be said that this palace coup was basically certain to end with the failure of the second prince.
Now only the Queen, the Crown Princess, and many officials, their families, and wealthy families are left.
This is also a big matter, a very troublesome matter. It requires the emperor’s personal order. No one can bear this responsibility.
