"General, stop."

"Step aside."

"The palace gate is closed. If there is anything important, General, please come back tomorrow morning..."

Before he could finish speaking, an unsheathed sword was placed on his neck. Xuanwu Sima felt a chill in his heart. They were both ministers of the Han family. They should have been dependent on each other for life and death, but now they were at war with each other.

"Open the door or die!"

"promise."

Immediately afterwards, the palace gate opened, and hundreds of warriors stepped into the Xuanwu Gate. General He Jin put his sword back into its sheath, and walked straight forward without squinting.

Not long after, there were a few sparse shouts from the palace palace, but there was no more movement.

In fact, this part of the guards also had good eyesight. Seeing that these more than 500 warriors were all walking steadily, they could tell at a glance that they were the elite of the Northern Army. With their serious expressions, they were afraid that the attackers were evil.

However, none of the military commanders in charge of their sect offered any resistance, so there was no need for them to fight tooth and nail.

"General."

At this moment, a voice came from the Xuanwu Gate behind.

"The Nangong Palace is the residence of the Emperor. Without an edict, the three princes are not allowed to enter. Now that you are leading troops to break into the palace, aren't you afraid of leaving a lasting infamy?"

In the darkness, the faint flame of the torch illuminated Xuanwu Sima's face clearly.

At this moment, he stared at the general with a worried look in his eyes, as if he had something important to say, but he stopped abruptly.

This worry is not only about the emperor's current situation, but also about the general's progress.

However, He Jin, who was in the middle of the team, did not see that he was worried about himself, or that he was very confident in the combat power of his generals. He said in a deep voice: "The emperor lives in the secluded palace, and I don't know whether he is alive or dead. I am only here for this trip."

In order to meet the emperor and to appease the courtiers, so what if I get a reputation for eternity?"

He Jin was not stupid and tied himself to the courtiers. After all, no one could bear the crime of breaking into the palace alone.

As for the reason for breaking into the palace, it was because the alchemist who had hoped for the emperor last year and said that "the two palaces were bleeding" came to Baijun Mansion not long ago and secretly whispered to him: the mountain collapsed.

At first glance, He Jin didn't understand what it meant. He wanted to ask, but found that the alchemist suddenly disappeared. In desperation, he hurriedly summoned several counselors under his command to help them guess.

The result was unexpected.

"Book of Rites: Qu Li Xia": The death of the emperor is called collapse, the princes are called dead, the great officials are called dead, the scholars are called unlucky, and the common people are called dead.

Who is Shanling?

Naturally, he is the emperor, and only the emperor is qualified to use: collapse.

In addition, there is a sentence in the "Five Emperors" written by a counselor in the former Han Dynasty: the mountains will not collapse and the rivers and valleys will not be blocked.

It is the death of the emperor that he is talking about!

Because of this, He Jincai hurriedly ordered five hundred elite soldiers to enter the palace to find out.

Shi Chang serves as a black hand?

There's no way this is going to happen!

Once they dare to do this, they will not survive tomorrow.

You must know that at this moment, Yu Lin, the Northern Army, Tiqi, and Hu Yong are all surrounded by thousands of people outside the palace city. As long as there is no news for more than half an hour, they will attack the palace city.

"I hope the general will think twice."

However, this time, Xuanwumen Army Sima's words were not answered. He Jin did not look back and walked toward the palace with 500 warriors.

For some reason, the ridged beast on the palace palace in the distance suddenly had a more sinister temperament.

at the same time.

Nangong, Jiade Hall.

All the ten permanent attendants gathered here and were wailing loudly around a coffin without a trace of hypocrisy. After the emperor passed away, they were like duckweeds without roots, and they probably wouldn't have long to live.

At this time, a well-built eunuch got up from the ground, wiped the snot and tears from his face, and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, if nothing else happens, He Jin is leading his generals to break into the palace at the moment, intending to establish Shihou as the

emperor."

"And the late emperor ordered Donghou to succeed him."

Speaking of this, Jian Shuo gritted his teeth and said: "We have been blessed by the emperor for a long time. If we cannot uphold the late emperor's will and protect the young master, how can we meet with your majesty in Jiuquan a hundred years later?"

It has to be said that Jian Shuo is indeed very heroic. If he had two beards on his lips, no one would know that he was an eunuch.

Hearing this, the other nine people had different expressions, either gloomy, frightened, or angry...

At this moment, a tall eunuch opened the door of the palace, ignored the salute, and stood on tiptoe to whisper a few words in Jian Shuo's ear.

There was a hint of joy between his eyebrows.

"Why are you so arrogant? You think that we don't dare to take action. You only brought five hundred steps into the palace from Xuanwu Gate. It's a big deal!" Jian Shuo didn't care about anything else and said vigorously: "Select two hundred young people from among the eunuchs.

Zhuang, lurking in Xide Hall."

In fact, leading troops into the palace was a matter of risking the disapproval of the world. If He Jin dared to lead a large army and forcefully break into the emperor's living quarters, he would really be secluded from the world.

Therefore, Jian Shuo was sure that He Jin would place his troops outside the palace and bring only a few guards in to visit the emperor.

If the bet is not right, then let's fight head-on. Anyway, there are countless eunuchs in the palace, only 500 people, so it won't take long at all.

After a while, a group of well-prepared eunuchs entered the Xide Hall. The leader was Shang Fangjian Qu Mu. This man also understood the spirit of war, and his physical strength was only inferior to that of Jian Shuo.

It was more than enough to deal with a depleted He Jin.

Xu Zheng.

A team composed of 500 elite troops from the Northern Army marched to the steps of Xide Palace.

General He Jin saw a stalwart eunuch descending his rank. It was none other than his sworn enemy, the military commander Jian Shuo. Therefore, he ignored him and directly fought for the rank and led his troops toward the Xide Palace where the emperor was recovering from his illness.

go.

Jian Shuo's gaze swept across the soldiers of the Northern Army below: indeed there were only five hundred of them.

He quickly suppressed the ecstasy in his heart and asked: "General, do you want to rebel?"

Hearing this, He Jin's face turned cold instantly, he stopped in the middle of the steps, and cursed softly from between his lips and teeth: "Bitch!"

"You are secretly plotting against the Emperor."

He Jin couldn't help but give a hat to Shi Changshi when he came up.

I thought Jian Shuo would refute, but he held back and said with a sullen face: "The truth will be known once the general goes in and takes a look."

After hearing this, He Jin thought to himself: Damn, what on earth was this eunuch planning to do? He let him go so happily. Could it be that the alchemist was deceiving me? My sister-in-law did not die!

He opened his mouth, and various emotions came to his mind, including hatred for the eunuchs, worry about the emperor's situation, and a little fear... For a moment, He Jin couldn't say anything.

Jian Shuo took retreat as a way forward: "If the general repented in time, it would not be too late to retreat outside the palace gate now. When your majesty wakes up..."

"roll!"

He Jin was successfully angered and cursed loudly to strengthen his reputation. Then he looked behind him, ordered six warriors to accompany him, and walked straight towards Xide Palace.

Outside the palace gate, the maids who had received the hint in advance lowered their heads one after another, their bodies shaking like chaff——

Your Majesty is not in this palace. The dragon body has been transported to the Jiade Hall not far away. There are two hundred axe-hands hidden here. As soon as the general enters, he will be chopped into pulp.

However, He Jin knew nothing about this, but even now, he still felt that when there were more than 10,000 tiger soldiers outside surrounding the palace, the ten permanent servants would not dare to take action.

As for why the palace maid was afraid, it was naturally because she was afraid of the 500 sharp soldiers of the Northern Army.

Therefore, without thinking, He Jin pushed open the palace door and Shi Shiran walked in. He was very familiar with this place and had often come here to discuss state affairs with the emperor earlier.

In front of the dragon bed, there are countless curtains, layer upon layer, and the beast-headed incense burner emits thick smoke. It is unknown what it is made of, but it can block the sight of those who understand the spirit of war.

That's right, He Jin was able to obtain the position of general not only because his sister was the queen, but also because of his own strength.

At this moment, he realized something was wrong. It was dark now. Why was only the candlelight hanging on the lamp stand at the door of the palace lit?

Subconsciously, He Jin's hair stood on end. He pulled out the sword from his waist and slowly stepped back. Seeing this, the six guards didn't know there was a trick in it. They quickly formed a battle formation and escorted the general back.

Not far away, behind a curtain, a black shadow flashed past.

Qu Mu, who was hiding his aura, stared at the prey. On his body, two looming green-headed black snakes shrouded in black mist kept dancing.

Phew! Phew!

The sound of breaking wind sounded, dozens of flying axes tore through the air, chopped down countless curtains, and attacked from all directions.

Even though they were on guard, the guards couldn't resist, and collapsed to the ground one after another, making no sound.

The only exception was He Jin. A streak of blood exploded behind him, which should have been a sharp knife. With its blessing, He Jin slashed left and right at extremely high speeds, blocking all the flying knives and axes.

However, the improvement in strength did not bring him any sense of security, and he even became more fearful, as if death was approaching.

According to legend, a person can see the review of his life before he dies, but what flashes in front of the general's eyes are human faces: Tutor Yuan Wei, Lieutenant Yuan Shao, Lieutenant General Yuan Shu, and Lieutenant Cao Cao.

, Chariot General He Miao...

Every face wanted to say something to him, and their lips kept moving. He Jin concentrated on staring at them for a long time before he could barely identify what they wanted to say.

Actually there are only two sentences:
To be continued...
