Chapter 114 Defending the City
Capital City, Xicheng Gate!
Xia Yan showed Bai Hu's waist card and climbed onto the city wall.
Bai Hu stood by the city wall, with a smile on his face after seeing Xia Yan.
"The emperor sent Ye Gucheng and Ximen Chuixue to have a decisive battle at the top of the Forbidden City because he wanted to attract the White Lotus Sect and other people with different intentions."
"I put you on duty at the Hall of Supreme Harmony to keep you away from this dispute, but I didn't expect Ye Gucheng to be fake."
"That's why Xuanwu will take over your place."
Xia Yanxiao asked: "What do I need to do?"
"You guard the west gate for me. Except for the Grandmaster, don't let anyone leave the city, and don't let anyone enter the city!"
"I want to take the Jin Yiwei to arrest King Pingnan's people."
Bai Hu received news from the palace that he was required to take the Jin Yiwei to hunt down the people in Pingnan Palace.
"As a grand master and a vassal king, you want to overthrow the current emperor. I don't know who gave you the courage."
Ye Gucheng remained silent, assisting King Pingnan to rebel, which had gone against his true intentions many times.
"You are not sincere to the knife, your knife is crying." Ye Gucheng said lightly.
Xia Yan snorted coldly and took out the imperial edict from his arms, "I have been ordered by the emperor to guard the west gate. Anyone who attacks the city will be killed without mercy!"
Hearing the loud roar of the dragon, he looked at the hands of the general of the Shenji Camp, but there was no sign of the imperial edict.
The knife collided with the fire, causing a violent explosion.
Xia Yan looked at the Xiuchundao that was twisted by the explosion and sneered.
"Your Majesty is here, you can still have falsehoods. Commander Baihu wants to rebel," the general of the Shenji Battalion shouted angrily.
"Enemy attack."
"There are countless people in the world who know how to disguise themselves. I am sure he is an imposter."
This caused other government troops to stop their movements. Shelling the emperor was a capital crime.
It's the only chance!
Ye Gucheng pulled out the long sword from his waist and said calmly: "This sword is called Feihong. It was made by overseas cold iron elites. It has broken hair and a blade of three feet and three feet. Its net weight is six kilograms and four taels."
All the government troops immediately came up and surrounded him.
These imperial troops from the capital would occasionally inspect the palace. Some people once saw Zhu Houzhao shouting loudly, kneeling down and knocking on the drum to shout long live.
The Hongyi cannon on the city wall was quickly filled and the fire core was ignited.
"Hold the city wall and keep firing. Leave him to me."
Xia Yan stood by the city wall, looking at the endless darkness outside the capital, and sank into the martial arts space to deduce his own martial arts.
"Stop, the emperor is here, Commander Baihu, do you want to rebel?"
"fire!"
Xia Yan used the light of the torch to see the figure clearly, and said calmly: "Master Ye, you are well."
"The Shenji camp rebels and rebels, Hongyi cannon is ready!"
Firearms? Xia Yan couldn't help but frown.
When the soldiers on the city wall saw Xia Yan standing motionless on the city wall, they all straightened their backs and stood quietly in the cold wind.
"I met the Emperor in the palace before I came here. You are so bold. You even dare to pretend to be the Emperor." Xia Yan snorted coldly.
"The Emperor's holy decree is here, don't be arrogant."
This glimmer of vitality was obtained by fighting for it.
"You are true to the sword, but you are not true to yourself, nor to others."
"All the officers and soldiers obeyed the order. The Shenji camp rebelled and rebelled. If the emperor blames it, I will take full responsibility for it."
"Yes, sir." The army immediately took the order and left.
"Your Majesty, you are truly your Majesty."
The decisive and unquestionable voice made the surrounding government troops take action immediately.
Under the light of the fire, the expressions of the generals of the Shenji Battalion changed drastically, and they shouted loudly: "Withdraw, withdraw, withdraw."
With the help of cannonballs, Bai Ying stepped onto the city wall like a leisurely stroll.
Since Zishi, fires have lit up in the capital from time to time, but they will be extinguished soon.
As for those masters, even if Bai Hu didn't say anything, he wouldn't commit suicide.
"You can only know if you are an opponent by beating him."
"Strength is not enough!" Xia Yan sneered, "The imperial court dares to compete with the entire world."
The young man shouted loudly, and a figure in white clothes immediately flew out of the Shenji Camp and jumped over the young man in a few steps.
"You, a grandmaster, dare to challenge the royal family. I don't know who gave you the courage."
He tapped his toes lightly on the cannonball, but there was no reaction from the cannonball.
Wherever the imperial troops on the city wall hesitated, they all responded loudly.
"You are no match for me. Open the city gate and I will spare your life." Ye Gucheng looked aloof and did not take Xia Yan seriously.
This is not something ordinary people can get.
Xia Yan frowned, but still said: "The name of the sword is Yeyue, it cuts iron like mud, the blade is three feet and five feet, and the net weight is seven kilograms and three taels."
"Manager Ye, please take action and help us enter the city."
The violent explosion caused the fujun, who was already a little sleepy, to react immediately and shout loudly to remind his companions.
The government army's newly firmed belief was shaken again.
"Guardians of the city, listen, we are Hu Hao, the general of the Shenji Battalion. We have come to Beijing on the orders of the emperor to open the city gate quickly."
The fire light illuminated the entire city wall, and Xia Yan couldn't help but take a step back.
"The arrow is on the string and must be fired." Ye Gucheng's face was indifferent. He would never regret what he had decided.
Twenty meters outside the city gate, the Shenji camp lit a torch, revealing Zhu Houzhao's face.
"It's you!" Ye Gucheng's face showed a look of surprise. He didn't expect that the one guarding the city was not Bai Hu.
Hu Hao took out the imperial edict from his arms, stood in front of Zhu Houzhao and said loudly.
Xia Yan stared closely at the young man who looked exactly like Zhu Houzhao, hoping that he would die under the artillery attack.
Xia Yan's face was full of determination, and his vowed and resolute voice made the hesitating government troops around him firm up.
"Okay." Xia Yan agreed. The city gate was full of Jiafu troops. If ordinary people in Hu forced their way in, they would only be shot into a hornet's nest.
The movement of people's fortune was moving, Xia Yan mobilized the movement of people in the imperial edict, and bursts of dragon chants sounded from the imperial edict in his hand.
"I am true to myself, my will is the will of the sword, and my will is the will of God." Xia Yan's expression was indifferent, but he was full of domineering.
At the end of the day, a ray of fire suddenly flew towards Xia Dian from outside the city wall.
Hu Hao's expression changed drastically. If he hadn't been able to tell that there was indeed luck on the holy finger in his hand, he would have doubted the authenticity of the imperial edict in his hand.
Xia Yan threw the Xiuchundao on the ground, took out the Yeyue knife, and pointed it at Ye Gucheng.
White Tiger nodded slightly and jumped down from the city wall.
When people's fortunes are at their peak, which one are you diligent in?
Does the Shenji Battalion want to rebel?
"Boom, boom, boom", the shells hit the ground continuously, and the flames immediately scattered in all directions.
"Do you still remember what I told you?" Xia Yan asked.
Xia Yan opened his eyes, and the Xiuchun knife at his waist was instantly unsheathed.
Xia Yan looked calm. In the martial arts space, the battle with Ye Gucheng was a narrow escape!
He actually died nine times and survived once.
Ye Gucheng smiled indifferently, "I never said that I was the only one here."
"No matter how many people come, they are just chickens and dogs."
Xia Yan raised his sword as the spring breeze blew, his expression showing calmness.
Seeing that he could not shake Xia Yan's belief, Ye Gucheng also raised the sword in his hand.
