no.136 Where is Princess You? In just a moment, all the secret agents in every corner of the capital were shocked.

I saw only one color in the criss-crossing streets of the entire capital, as deep as black as thick ink.

Black clothes. Black armor.

All the soldiers and horses, whether they are left foot or right hand, are uniform.

There are only two sounds in the entire capital, one is the sound of horse hooves hitting the ground, "tap tap tap tap", and the other is the sound of iron boots hitting the ground, which is heavier and slower than the horse's hoofs "step tap tap tap tap."

”.

No matter which one it is, it is all so neat that it is shocking. Every sound hits everyone hard.

I have never heard of such military discipline, let alone seen it.

"Squeak——!" A light spot streaked across the night like a shooting star, and then with a "bang" sound, like a huge thunder, the fireworks exploded, and a big orange flower bloomed in the sky.

"Zhizhizhizhi——"...

Countless fireworks soared from every corner of the capital, followed by constant explosions of "bang, bang, bang, bang", one after another, decorating the sky in the capital with brilliant colors.

However, no one in the capital dared to go out to watch the fireworks that were comparable to the largest festival in Xiliang.

Just the sound of such heavy and solemn footsteps was like an invisible barrier, locking them firmly in the room.

The sky has changed! The sky is going to change!

At this moment, even if one or two houses occasionally had lights on, they were quickly blown out.

If you look down from above, the entire capital city is immersed in unprecedented darkness, except of course the imperial palace.

In the palace, the lights are brightly lit.

That night, the emperor originally stayed in the Queen's Palace. At this moment, the entire Queen's Palace seemed to be the command center.

"Reporting to your Majesty, your army has passed through Desheng Gate!"

"Reporting to your Majesty, your army has passed Anding Gate!"

"Report to your Majesty that your army has passed Xizhimen!"

"Reporting to your Majesty, your army has passed Xuanwu Gate!"

…

Every time he heard the announcement, the emperor's heart tightened.

So fast, why so fast?! Every road, including water, food, prisoners, merchants, timber, and coal, has been occupied by Li Tianyou’s army!

"How many people did he use?!"

"For your information, Your Majesty, it is estimated to be fifty thousand."

"Fifty thousand?!" The emperor's voice suddenly became louder, "The army Li Tianyou brought back from the city was only over a thousand people. What happened to the sudden arrival of fifty thousand?!"

"My subordinates don't know either." The commander of the imperial army lowered his head, with a look of annoyance on his face.

Tonight, these 50,000 troops seemed to emerge from the ground. Suddenly, at a certain moment, they all appeared in countless alleys in the capital.

"Is there no record of entering the city?" There is no way there is no record of such a large number of people entering the city!

"Your Majesty, no." The commander of the imperial army lowered his head again. As for this issue, he had already asked someone to check it when the horses were neighing. There were no records of large-scale entry into the capital at any of the gates of the capital.

The emperor suddenly felt anxious and paced back and forth in the room.

There is no record of large-scale entry into the city, which means that Li Tianyou spent a long time to ambush the 50,000 troops into the capital bit by bit!

In other words, today's forced uterus was designed many, many years ago!

For the first time since he was crowned prince more than ten years ago, he felt out of control. This loss of control gave him a deep sense of panic.

"Ten thousand, we still have 10,000 troops?" the emperor's voice suddenly screamed. Fortunately, in order to catch Li Tianyou at the city gate, 10,000 troops were urgently dispatched back! Now, I didn't expect these 10,000 troops.

It could be his life-saving straw!

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I have already sent people to deploy!" the commander of the Forbidden Army hurriedly comforted, "I will send three thousand Forbidden Army troops to guard the palace, and the 10,000 soldiers and horses will come in from outside."

"That's good, that's good!" The emperor's voice was a little slumped, and he fell on the dragon throne. Although he only had 13,000 soldiers and horses, he could at least withstand it for a while. He tremblingly took out a piece of cake from his arms.

Tiger Talisman: "Quick, give this to the prince and ask him to mobilize troops to the east immediately."

"Yes!" The commander of the Forbidden Army lowered his head, took the tiger talisman with both hands, and hurriedly walked out. Back then, when he had not yet become the commander of the Forbidden Army and was just a small leader, the emperor at that time was very young and very courageous.

.And today, he really felt that the emperor was old!

As soon as he reached the door of the main hall, a long "report--" came from far and near. He paused, subconsciously wondering what happened again.

Just at the moment of this meal, he heard clearly: "Your Majesty, our ten thousand soldiers and horses are... gone!"

No more! The commander of the Forbidden Army suddenly turned his head, just in time to see the emperor standing up from the dragon throne, and said extremely fiercely: "What?! No more! What do you mean no more?! This battle hasn't started yet, why didn't it?

Already?!"

The person who made the report looked extremely ugly: "Everyone...has put on black armor and is heading towards the palace..."

Put on the black armor...head towards the palace...

The emperor's eyes widened immediately. In other words, the 10,000 troops and horses he had mobilized had already surrendered to Li Tianyou! In other words, these were Li Tianyou's troops in the first place!

He actually personally ordered 10,000 troops to besiege him! In other words, even if he attacked Li Tianyou at the city gate during the day, he would not be able to take advantage at all!

The commander of the imperial army stood at the door, looking at the tiger talisman in his hand, but he didn't know what to do.

"Father, father!" There were hurried shouts and hurried footsteps. The prince, dressed in a light yellow robe, rushed in from outside.

The Prince's East Palace was originally not in the palace. At night, when he heard the uniform footsteps on the street, he knew what was happening without even thinking. A Gulu climbed up from the bed, grabbed some clothes and ran towards the palace.

"Yin Jun!" the queen immediately shouted, her eyes panicked, and she grabbed her son with both hands, "Why are you here?"

The prince reached out and patted the back of the queen's hand, and his voice became much softer: "Mother, don't worry, everything will be fine."

In this world, human nature is so strange. Some people have been strong, arrogant, and plundering their whole lives. They thought that the world was firmly in their hands, but they did not expect that one day, the world would collapse.

Those who were originally strong and arrogant will collapse like a sand tower in an instant. This kind of collapse is far from comparable to when I heard that my son was arrested a few days ago.

At that time, there might have been a glimmer of luck in my heart, but now, despair is growing like weeds.

"Prince!" The commander of the imperial guards took a step forward and presented the tiger charm to the prince with both hands.

The prince stretched out his hand, picked up the tiger talisman from the imperial guard, and placed it again in the palm of the emperor's hand: "Father, if you want to wait for the reinforcements from the border, I'm afraid it will be too late. Before entering the palace, I have sent someone to get my token.

The nearby city-states dispatched soldiers and horses to defend the city. I also sent people to several generals with military power in the court to ask them to mobilize their troops overnight."

Hearing this, the emperor felt a little comforted. However, how could the strength of the Forbidden Army be comparable to that of the You Army? Moreover, it was still 3,000 to 50,000!

"How long do you think the Forbidden Army can last?" the emperor asked. This question was asked to both the commander of the Forbidden Army and the prince.

Without waiting for the commander of the imperial army to reply, the prince already spoke: "I am also worried about this problem, so..." He paused, lifted the hem of his clothes with his right hand, and knelt straight down, "Father and Queen, please leave first.

!”

"No!" The emperor said no in one sentence. As an emperor and empress, what would it be like to not be in the palace when the army attacked, but to leave instead?

"Father." The prince kowtowed deeply, "If the same number of forbidden troops faced the You army, it would only last for a moment or three. Now, the Forbidden troops are only 3,000, but the You army is tens of thousands. When they arrive at the palace, they will probably be defeated.

If the mountain falls, please think again, father!"

Looking at the prince who was leaning deeply, the emperor hesitated a little. The idea of ​​​​escape was not unheard of, but: "From ancient times to the present, Xiliang has not never had to force the palace, but no emperor has ever escaped."

"Father, in the history of Xiliang, there have been Xinjia Rebellion, Five Kings Rebellion, Anwang Rebellion, and Tianqi Rebellion, all of which were forced by large armies. Among these four attacks, the largest number of people was five.

The King's Rebellion only cost 20,000 people. But those former emperors all chose to guard

The palace is prepared and has equal strength. But now, we and Youjun really can't fight!" The prince's tone became more serious, "Besides, now that these 10,000 soldiers and horses have turned into Youjun, my ministers are really

I can’t guarantee that the troops that will come to rescue later will also..."

The emperor sighed. Yes, this problem was what he was most worried about. Although the God of War, King You, only had an army of soldiers on the surface, over the years, his influence had already penetrated into every corner of Xiliang, especially in Xiliang.

military.

Li Tianyou is no longer just a prince, but a god-like existence that people look up to.

Since he wants to rebel and force his way into the palace, I am afraid that all he needs to do is raise his arms and shout, and all the troops in the world will respond.

It is precisely for this reason that in the past few years, they have had to work hard to get rid of Li Tianyou.

"Father, when the Xiliang Kingdom was founded, the First Emperor sent people to build the palace, and he left a secret passage. Later generations of emperors repaired and expanded it to prevent sudden changes. Now that the army is attacking, my father, queen and mother followed the secret passage.

Taking the first step is not to admit defeat, but to prepare for a comeback in the future." The prince kowtowed, "Please, father, queen and queen, think twice!"

The emperor was still hesitating. Since he inherited the throne, he has taken over the prosperous Xiliang. Over the years, although Xiliang's economy, culture and military have not developed breakthroughs, they have never declined and have maintained a prosperous scene.

It will not disgrace the eyes of the Emperor.

But if he abandoned the palace and fled today, I don't know how future history books would comment on it.

During the hesitation, they heard a commotion outside. Everyone turned their heads and saw that all the concubines and concubines were crying and dragging their families in. Some of them were even carrying their luggage.

"Why are you crying? Things haven't changed today! Shut up, everyone!" The queen stepped forward and reprimanded loudly. When she saw those people holding their bundles, her voice suddenly screamed, "You guys

What did you get?! Do you want to escape?"

On weekdays, except for the emperor, this queen is the master of the palace. All the concubines and concubines in the palace usually look up to her. Now when they saw her yelling, even if the tears were choked in their throats, they broke down. Those few were holding their bundles.

Yes, he knelt down even more tremblingly.

Just now, when they heard that King You was leading troops to rebel, they subconsciously asked the palace maids to take care of them. No one knew whether they could win this battle! If they wanted to lose, they would have to take advantage of the chaos to escape.

"Okay, don't blame them!" At this time, the emperor, who was standing further back, said, "Aren't we also discussing whether to leave?"

The concubines and the emperor also wanted to leave. Those who had not yet had time to salute took the prince and princess and knelt down in a hurry, kowtowing one by one: "Your Majesty, please take us with you..."

Looking at the emperor's little wives and his younger brothers and sisters, the prince stood up and said: "Father, don't hesitate! The emperor's brothers and sisters are still young. If Youjun really attacks, I'm afraid they won't be able to save any of them.

"

"Report——" A herald rushed in, "Prince You, we have reached the palace gate!"

"So fast!" Not only the emperor, but also everyone was shocked. It had been less than half an hour since they heard that King You had raised troops!

The prince's face was even more anxious: "Father, time waits for no one, let's go quickly! When the soldiers gather, we can attack again. If we stay here, we will die!"

"Your Majesty, please put the overall situation first!" All the concubines bowed in unison.

The emperor glanced at them, still hesitating in his expression. He had been in power for many years, but in the end he wanted to be a fugitive emperor?!

"Your Majesty, please put the overall situation first!" Together with the palace servants serving in the palace, they all paid their respects.

The emperor sighed again, these people only know life. When will they understand that dignity is more precious than gold!

"Your Majesty, please put the overall situation first!" This time, even the queen knelt down.

"Queen, do you also think I should run away?" He looked at the woman who had married him when she was more than 10 years old, and helped her up with one hand. Today, from the time when King You raised his army to now, she was also panicked, but she was the first

The second time he advocated escaping on his own.

"Your Majesty, this is not an escape, but a better counterattack." The queen said slowly, the previous panic gradually subsided.

His eyes passed over the queen, the prince, the concubines and concubines who were kneeling, and his sons and daughters who were still in their weak years. Finally, his expression no longer hesitated, and he just looked at the kneeling people.

With a wave of his hand: "Let's go!"

Everyone also followed the emperor and walked towards the inner hall. Yes, the secret passage in the Queen's Palace was located in the inner hall.

After taking two steps, the queen suddenly felt that something was missing. She turned around and saw the prince still standing in the middle of the main hall: "Your Majesty, aren't you leaving?"

"I am the crown prince of Xiliang, and I should be the one to marry the queen for my father, the queen, and my mother." A smile appeared on his face, "Don't worry, queen, I will meet you later. We will fight back together!"

Hearing the prince's answer, the queen's face looked desolate, but in the end she didn't say anything and followed everyone into the inner hall.

The prince watched everyone walk in, and suddenly turned his head towards the waiting guards in the palace, with a stern voice:

"Where is Princess You? Bring Princess You to me!"
