North gate tower.

Liu Zan looked at the impudent Luo Ting, and noticed that the officials beside him who were secretly loyal to him were a little afraid, so he calmly replied: "Director Luo, you are mistaken. The person who wants to rebel is not my king.

"

He raised his hand and pointed down the city.

Luo Ting didn't squint his eyes and said solemnly: "Since His Highness doesn't want to rebel, why did you stop the Holy Master outside the city?"

Liu Zan frowned and said: "I have already said that Pei Yue poisoned his father and kidnapped Wei Guogong and others. Now he wants to lead the army into the city. The ambition of the wolf is obvious. As long as he dares to enter the city alone, he will make it clear, or he will only escort the holy driver.

I will never stop you from entering the city."

Luo Ting glanced at him deeply, then glanced at the civil and military officials beside him, and finally stopped at the face of Chengyang Hou Zhang Wu, and said coldly: "You think so too?"

Of the two rulers of the Dongfu, Mo Haoli had a gentle temperament and would only get angry in extremely special circumstances. Luo Ting was different. When he was still the censor Zhongcheng, he dared to impeach Wang Pingzhang in person, so that Wei Guogong, who was very close to the emperor at the time, could not come to power.

Later, he gradually became the ruler of the Dongfu, and his upright character kept the officials below him silent.

Now being swept by his cold and stern gaze, the civil servants lowered their heads and dared not respond. Wu Xun was a little better, but he did not dare to be too presumptuous.

Zhang Wu nodded and said: "I agree with His Highness King Yan's statement."

Luo Ting turned to Liu Zan and said, "In that case, please open the city gate and let Pei Yue and Shengjia enter the capital."

Liu Zan sneered, looked at the young dignitary below the city and said: "Pei Yue, since the Governor of Luo is interceding for you, I don't want to see the best place in Kyoto where soldiers are fighting each other. I will give you one last chance to escort the Holy Emperor into the city.

, the Zangfeng Guards and the Wuding Guards stay where they are and cannot move without permission, do you dare?"

He felt that he knew Pei Yue very well. He was a careful person and would definitely not agree to this request. At that time, he could justifiably let Luo Huanzhang and Qu Jiang lead the attack and completely solve this disaster.

In this way, Luo Ting's mouth can be blocked, which is equivalent to clearing the most difficult obstacle in advance.

The sun is a little bit dazzling.

Pei Yue looked at Liu Zan's figure and uttered one word loudly: "Okay."

There was a dead silence on the city wall.

Everyone looked down in disbelief, wondering if the Marquis of Zhongshan was still hungover? Now his biggest reliance was the 20,000 elite soldiers outside the city, which was also the fundamental reason why King Yan was willing to give him opportunities again and again. He really wanted to give up.

When 20,000 people entered Kyoto, Pei Yue was like a piece of meat on the chopping block. King Yan could decide how he died at will.

Liu Zan suddenly felt panic in his heart. Pei Yue's reaction was completely different from what he expected, and it was not like the reaction of a martial artist who had grown up on the battlefield. Thinking of this man's various plans in the Western Territory, Liu Zan couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

Regret.

Luo Ting stared at his profile and asked, "Why hasn't Your Highness ordered the city gate to be opened?"

At the same time, the Zangfeng Guards and Wuding Guards began to retreat in an orderly manner, leaving only Pei Yue, the eldest prince and the behemoth emperor's chariot outside the city gate.

Pei Yue only left two soldiers beside him.

At this point, Liu Zan knew that he was forced into a corner, and if he regretted his words, he would be nailed to the pillar of shame by Luo Ting's sharp words, so he could only nod slightly towards Chengyang Marquis Zhang Wu.

Zhang Wu frowned slightly, and after a moment of silence, he turned around and said loudly: "Open the city gate!"

The suspension bridge was slowly lowered, and the thick and solid North Gate of Kyoto was opened from the inside.

Pei Yue looked calm and walked side by side with the eldest prince. The palace servants urged the horses and the chariot drove forward smoothly.

When these people entered the city gate cave, Zhang Wu immediately ordered people to close the door and put away the suspension bridge, once again isolating the inside and outside. On the vast and flat land to the east, an army of 80,000 to 90,000 people was still in a confrontation. Wei Rui and Qin Xian each led their men.

The soldiers looked at the elite Beijing troops in the distance without fear.

In the Wuding Guard Formation, Xue Meng looked at the unfamiliar faces around him, and after hesitation, he finally gave up.

These Pingnan Guard soldiers have almost no human touch and are really difficult to get along with.

On the city wall, Luo Ting stared at Yan Wang Liu Zan and said: "Pei Yue has entered the city, does your highness dare to go down and confront him face to face?"

Liu Zan smiled and said: "Is this king still afraid of a rebellious minister?"

He walked first with a flick of his sleeves, followed closely by Zhang Wu, and other officials followed after a little hesitation. Luo Ting looked at the backs of these people and said expressionlessly to the old man next to him: "Mr. Huang, please."

Huang Rentai, the imperial censor, had complicated eyes and sighed softly: "Ji Yu, don't criticize them too harshly."

Luo Ting said softly: "Don't worry, sir, I know what to do."

In the wide square under the city, after Pei Yue and the eldest prince escorted the holy cavalry in, they were immediately surrounded by soldiers from the garrison. These people were still in awe of the emperor lying in the imperial chariot, but now His Majesty the Emperor could no longer wake up.

Only then could they overcome their inner fear. Facing Pei Yue and the eldest prince who had been demoted to the rank of general, these proud and powerful generals guarding Kyoto showed no fear.

The soldiers suddenly gave way to a path.

King Liu Zan of Yan walked calmly, followed by Chengyang Marquis Zhang Wu and Fengcheng Marquis Li Bingzhong, followed by a group of civil and military officials.

He looked at Pei Yue who had dismounted in the distance, stopped when he was still more than ten feet away, and sneered: "Pei Yue, if you are smart, tie your hands immediately, and I can give you a good time."

Pei Yue shook his head and said, "Your Highness is too impatient."

He turned to look at the imperial chariot behind him and said loudly: "How many adults would you like to come out and meet me?"

After a while, Duke Pingzhang of the State of Wei, Han Gongduan, who participated in the affairs of the East Palace, and Liu Xiang, the king of Duan, stepped down from the imperial chariot and came not far from Pei Yue.

Liu Zan remained calm, and his eyes swept over the faces of the three people one by one. When he looked at Liu Xiang, he paused for a moment, and their eyes briefly met. After seeing the deep meaning in Liu Xiang's eyes, Liu Zan immediately felt relieved.

Although he had received a secret report before, Liu Zan no longer had any worries after seeing with his own eyes that Liu Xiang confirmed that Emperor Kaiping was seriously poisoned and was about to die.

He pretended to be serious and said: "Uncle Huang, Wang Junji, Han Shenzheng, you have suffered."

Wang Pingzhang frowned slightly and said, "What does your highness mean by this?"

Liu praised: "Pei Yue has a vicious mind. After murdering his father, he imprisoned three people. If the loyal and brave men of Luan Yiwei had not sacrificed their lives to send back the news, I am afraid that Kyoto would have fallen into the hands of this evil man. Now that the overall situation has been decided, we still invite three people.

Tell me in detail about the assassination of my father, so that this traitor will not find an opportunity to make excuses."

Wang Pingzhang was silent for a moment, then suddenly shook his head and said: "Your Highness, the culprit who assassinated Your Majesty should be someone else."

Liu Zan's prepared words were all stuck in his throat.

There was a shocking silence.
