Kyoto at night looks like a dormant beast.

On the north gate tower, Chen Xianda was wearing armor and looked solemn. A soldier next to him was holding his simple sword with both hands.

The five people Gu Liang gave to Pei Yue were originally from a poor family, while Fu Hongzhi was from a scholarly family. Wei Rui, Meng Longfu and Chen Xianda had similar family backgrounds, and their elders were all middle- and lower-level generals.

Although he does not have a strong enough background, he can ensure that his children receive military training from an early age.

Wei Rui is one of the best. In the Battle of the Western Territory, he led the army alone many times and won the respect and trust of Pei Yue. After returning to the capital, it was natural for him to be promoted to the commander of the Tibetan Front Guard. Meng Longfu has a cautious and independent personality. Now he has entered

Wu Dingwei served as Qin Xian's deputy, and gradually began to show his abilities, and was on par with Luo Kedi, who had a family background.

Chen Xianda is not good at the art of war and military formations. What he likes most is to lead the charge. His character is inevitably a bit arrogant and willful.

He knew his shortcomings, but it was hard to restrain himself when his passion got the better of him. He also understood that this time was Pei Yue's test for him.

Eleven of the twelve city gates in Kyoto are under the jurisdiction of the garrison division. Only the Jingyao Gate in the north is taken over by the Zangfeng Guards.

Chen Xianda did not dare to be careless and strictly ordered his soldiers to cheer up. At the same time, he did not dare to relax at all. Even the small wine bottle he always carried quietly with him was left in the camp.

"Sir, the garrison master Qin is here." A soldier walked into the tower and reported.

Chen Xianda asked in confusion: "Master Qin? Which Master Qin?"

The Kyoto garrison division has a standing strength of 30,000 troops, and its commander is Zhang Wu, Marquis of Chengyang.

Among the nine dukes and twenty-seven marquises who founded the Daliang Kingdom, the first among the dukes was Pei Yuan, the duke of Dingguo, and the first among the marquises was Zhang Li, the Marquis of Chengyang. This man can be called the first confidant under Gaozu, and is even considered by some to be

An example of foolish loyalty. Nearly a hundred years after Zhang Li, six people from the Zhang family served as the commanders of the Kyoto garrison, which shows the trust the Tian family has in this prince's mansion.

Chen Xianda only knew the Zhang family of Chengyang Marquis Mansion and knew very little about the other generals in the garrison.

The soldier responded: "My lord, this is Qin Ziwen, the general officer of the garrison division."

Chen Xianda said "Oh", stood up and asked, "Did he come alone?"

The soldier said: "There is also Liu Yizhi, the commander of the North Gate."

Chen Xianda

He nodded, and then took the initiative to welcome him out, only to see Qin Ziwen dressed as a civil servant walking towards him, followed by the commander Liu Ruizhi and two young servants carrying food boxes.

"Commander Chen, I have long admired your name." Qin Ziwen smiled broadly and raised his hands in gesture.

Chen Xianda was puzzled, but since the other party was so polite, he could only show his courtesy in a decent manner.

Qin Ziwen got straight to the point: "Marshal Zhang admires the achievements of Marquis Zhongshan and the Zangfeng Guards in the Western Region, but it is a pity that he has never had the opportunity to make friends. I heard that Commander Chen is the most powerful general under Marquis Zhongshan in the battle, and now he is the garrison division.

Taking charge of the defense of the city gate, he ordered his subordinates to come and express their feelings. Commander Chen, rest assured, since Jingyao Gate is guarded by Zangfeng Guards, your subordinates will not break the rules. This time, he did not bring anyone else with him, only a few

Have some food and two jugs of water and wine.”

Chen Xianda glanced at the two ordinary-faced boys behind him, hesitated for a moment and said, "Master Qin, I'm afraid there's something wrong with this."

Qin Ziwen smiled and said: "Is it possible that Commander Chen refuses to give me some face?"

Chen Xianda could only turn sideways and said: "Master Qin, please come in."

The hall was spacious. Qin Ziwen ordered two young men to put the food boxes on the table. He glanced at Liu Yizhi without leaving any trace, and then said slowly: "Commander Chen, I wonder if the Marquis of Zhongshan has an explanation for you?" Biquku

Chen Xianda asked doubtfully: "What explanation?"

Qin Ziwen's face suddenly darkened, and he said in a cold voice: "Pei Yue assassinated His Majesty with the intention of treason. Didn't he let you guard Jingyao Gate just to open the door to Kyoto?"

Although Chen Xianda was stupid and straightforward, he was not stupid. He immediately realized the crisis was coming, turned to look at the soldiers and shouted: "Here comes the sword!"

Liu Ruizhi made a sudden move and rushed towards the soldier holding a simple sword next to him with lightning speed. He raised his foot and kicked him down.

At the same time, Qin Ziwen took a step back, and the two boys came forward like ghosts. In an instant, they came to Chen Xianda, and put their arms on Chen Xianda's arms.

Chen Xianda's martial arts cultivation was among the best among the generals under Pei Yue's command, and he had experienced countless life and death crises on the battlefield. Therefore, he did not panic at the moment. He shouted angrily and stood up from the ground, taking six steps back in an instant. However, this The two boys, like gangrene on the bone, kept holding Chen Xianda's wrist tightly, and then they started to attack at the same time.

With extremely strong and powerful strength, only a clicking sound was heard, and Chen Xianda's two arms were forcefully pulled out of joints by these two people.

The heartbreaking pain made Chen Xianda look ferocious, but compared to the physical pain, he was more horrified because the two men's martial arts methods were very familiar, and they were very similar to Ye Qi's domineering skills.

Seeing that his subordinates had succeeded, Qin Ziwen glanced at the Zangfeng guards who had gathered outside the city gate tower and said calmly: "Stop his mouth."

Liu Ruizhi stood in front of him with the simple knife. A boy took a long knife from the wall and put it on Chen Xianda's neck.

Qin Ziwen calmly looked at the Zangfeng Guards soldiers holding weapons in their hands and said loudly: "If you go further, Chen Xianda's life will be in danger."

Chen Xianda had never suffered such humiliation in his life. Looking at those loyal subordinates who did not dare to step forward, his eyes were almost splitting. However, his mouth was tightly blocked and he could only make a whining sound.

The three thousand elite vanguards led by Chen Xianda were stationed at Jingyao Gate. Obviously, they couldn't ignore his life and death and attack forcefully. The most important thing was that these soldiers had no idea what was going on. Why did the people of the Kyoto garrison suddenly turn against each other?

At this moment, the sound of neat footsteps sounded on the long street in the city, and at least 5,000 garrison soldiers marched forward in formation under the light of torches.

The leader is a veteran who is over sixty years old and riding a horse.

Although the soldiers of the Zangfeng Guard were not shocked by such a scene, at this moment Chen Xianda was restrained. They were leaderless and did not know the intention of the garrison division. They could not make up their minds for a while and could only watch the infantry of the garrison division coming with armor and swords. Go near the city gate.

The veteran general looked at the Zangfeng guards who were waiting on the city wall, and said loudly: "I am the commander of the garrison, Zhang Wu, Marquis of Chengyang. Your commander, Pei Yue, Marquis of Zhongshan, assassinated Your Majesty and kidnapped three princes, Duke Wei and others with the intention of committing treason. Now I order you to put down your weapons immediately and surrender, otherwise it will be regarded as a serious crime of treason and the nine tribes will be implicated!"

The night wind was blowing, and there was a dead silence on the city wall.

Qin Ziwen ordered two young men to hold Chen Xianda with long knives. Under the angry gazes of the Zangfeng guards, they escorted him to the stairs without fear, facing Zhang Wu not far from the city.
