Chapter 8 Watching the Fire from Across the Shore
Watchtower.
It stands in the northeast corner, three stories high, and can overlook the sky prison.
According to the rules set by the court, there were jailers on duty day and night in the watchtower to prevent martial arts masters from coming in or escaping.
Now that the military preparations are slack, most prisoners have become empty workers, so naturally no one goes to the watchtower.
Zhou Yi opened the iron gate of the watchtower tower and walked along the narrow stairs to the top of the tower. There was a figure of Taoist standing on it long ago.
"Sir Lei, why are you here?"
"Watch the show!"
Ries Prison nodded slightly and looked towards the palace.
The lights of torches were connected into lines, which were extremely conspicuous in the dark night, and there were faint shouts of killing echoing in the night sky.
Zhou Yi pretended to be shocked: "Someone is leading troops to attack the palace. Is this going to rebel?"
"In front of me, don't hide your weakness."
Ries Prison said bluntly: "That is Long Xiang leading his troops to attack the west gate of the palace. The leading generals are the commander of the Five Cities Military Command, as well as the three major gangs in the capital, and the top ten martial arts halls."
Fifty percent of the military commander is responsible for guarding the inner city of Shenjing and patrolling 108 square meters.
The three major gangs of Shenjing Qinglang, Feiying and Jinsha respectively controlled the brothel gambling stalls, and the gangs under their command thugs were thousands of.
The top ten martial arts schools seem to have the least number of people, but they are all martial arts masters, and are most suitable for taking the lead in attacking difficulties.
“…”
Zhou Yi murmured: "There are only 30,000 or 50,000 people in total, and the imperial palace guards are only 30,000 or 4,000. Is there a change today?"
Long has been the chief minister for 30 years, and almost all the officials of the court are his. Many confidants have been installed in the army. Local prefectures are filled with officials of the "Dragon Party".
The Sima family can be used to break through the palace tonight and seize control of the capital and surrounding areas.
A young lord can be selected to ascend the throne, and the dragon prince continues to control the government.
Radical people directly proclaimed emperor and changed the emperor's reign, and officials of the Dragon Party could also maintain a stable transition to the country and the dynasty.
"The Dragon Prince is likely to have been plotted by His Majesty!"
Ries Prison shook his head and said, "A few days ago, the Long Xiang said that His Majesty's health is not in trouble, and he can live at least three or four years..."
"Does Your Majesty pretend to die?"
Zhou Yi raised his eyebrows, and the dog emperor had long no concerns about reputation. He might have given up his skin and pretended to die to fish for the dragon.
"Your Majesty has not been to court for thirty-six years. The Long Prime Minister is in power and has power all over the palace. How could he be uncertain about the news?"
Ries Prison pointed to the south gate of the palace: "The deputy commander of the Jinyiwei tried to break through the south gate with his own internal and external connections, but ended up falling into a trap and fighting with his colleagues."
The Jinyiwei was the emperor's personal army, and the deputy commander actually conspired with Long!
Zhou Yi felt a little relieved. The dog emperor betrayed his relatives and relatives, and that feeling must be bad.
Ries Prison said: "The Long Xiang confirmed in the morning that His Majesty was really dead, and he left an edict to pass the throne on His Highness the King of Qin, and in a hurry, he summoned his troops under his command to attack the palace."
After the former crown prince failed to rebellion, Emperor Chongming never appointed a crown prince, and the King of Qin was the third son.
Zhou Yi said, "If you don't have a eldest son, you won't have a young son. So your Majesty has long anticipated today?"
Ries Prison exclaimed: "In this prison, you are the only one who is a smart person."
"Mr. Lei praised it. I like to go to the brothels on weekdays and hear that Mr. Storytelling tells history."
The storyteller mentioned by Zhou Yi is named Miss Niao Niao, who is the popular flower courtesan in Chunfeng Tower in recent days.
"When I was young, I was lingering in the brothels. My mother scolded me for being insulted by my ancestors every day, and she lost all the face of the Lei family. Later, she realized that a real man should make achievements, so she joined the command of Long Xiang and took charge of the Heavenly Prison for more than ten years."
Ries Prison murmured: "If you are a young man who only knows how to eat, drink and have fun, you can be a lieutenant in Tianzhuo. Maybe... you can avoid the crime of raiding your house!"
When Zhou Yi heard the first half of the sentence, he took a few steps back without a trace and pressed his palm against the cloth bag around his waist.
The cloth bag contains lime powder, mixed with the poison taught by a death row prisoner. After hearing this, the top masters in the martial arts world have to remove most of their strength.
"You guy is so traitorous. I have a close relationship with you, but you are always on guard!"
Ries Prison said: "No wonder he is so cautious and careful, he is not willing to be promoted if he gives him a ten-year meal."
"We are stupid by nature and don't understand the big shots, so we should be a jailer."
Zhou Yi smiled and said, "When we get old, we will pass the prison guard to our son, and the son will pass it to our grandson. The descendants have iron rice bowls, and no matter who is in charge of the palace, they will not be hungry!"
"This is a really smart person!"
Ries Prison said slowly: "It was not a messenger in the palace in the morning, but a butler of Long Xiang. He ordered me to falsely pass the order and lead the Tianzhu Imperial Army to attack the imperial city. At the same time, he opened the prison door and released all the prisoners, causing trouble to the Shenjing!"
"What's the matter with my sir..."
Zhou Yi showed doubts on his face, why Ries Prison disobeyed the Dragon Celebration Order.
On the surface, the general trend of dragon appearance has been achieved, and changing dynasties is near to us. If you follow the trend, you will be able to follow the dragon.
Moreover, Ries Prison relies on the Dragon Prison to rise to power, and has taken care of many people from the Dragon Clan who have committed crimes over the years.
Once the Dragon King fails, the new emperor will cleanse the court in the future and will definitely not let Ries Prison go.
Ries Prison looked at the direction of the capital, and the torch light once climbed onto the city wall, and then fell quickly. It was obvious that the battle was fierce.
"I have a premonition that Long Xianghui lost to His Majesty, so I disobeyed at the battle. Shuwentianlao could not cause trouble, and he could be sentenced from his family to exile!"
Zhou Yi said: "Master Lei mobilized the imperial guards of the Heavenly Prison and attacked Long Xiang from behind. Perhaps he could make a great contribution?"
"What if I had a wrong premonition? Long Xiang may not be as good as His Majesty's layout in his thirty years of management!"
Ries Prison sighed: "When I was young, I would definitely fight. Now I am old, even if I make great contributions, I can't enjoy it."
Zhou Yi secretly scolded him as an old fox. As long as Ries Prison is stable, no matter who wins, he will be able to escape unscathed.
Just waiting to continue speaking.
suddenly.
The sound of horse hooves rumbling in the distance.
The ground in Shenjing shook, and countless black-armored cavalry emerged from various markets and gathered together in an orderly manner, rushing towards the rebels who were attacking the palace.
"kill!"
A long roar was like a bolt from the blue, even the sound of horse hooves was blocked.
Ries Prison said in surprise: "When will a martial arts master be released in the army? Your Majesty hides it deeply enough, and the Dragon Prince will be defeated!"
"Master of Martial Arts!"
Zhou Yi's eyes shone and looked at the sound.
Unfortunately, it was too far away from the palace and was shady, and it seemed that a silver-armored general led the army.
The torches attacking the palace stopped. In front of the palace guards, there were archers shooting, and behind the martial arts masters led their troops to rush forward. It can be said that they were attacked from both sides.
The cavalry charged back and forth several times, and then cut the rebels that the three forces had forcibly combined into several parts to fight each other.
The silver-armored general roared again: "Longtu has been killed, and those who surrender will not be killed!"
The rebels had no leader and immediately collapsed.
On the watchtower.
When Zhou Yi heard this, he immediately smiled.
"There will be guests coming tomorrow. Those who have wronged will avenge you, and those who have revenge you!"
