Chapter 1152: The Emperor’s Bloody Edict, the King of Assassins comes to his rescue

Empress Cao persuaded the angry officials.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, it's useless to scold him now. The most urgent thing is to find someone to rescue him."

The official calmed down his anger a little, and suddenly a candidate appeared in his mind.

"Zhao Zongquan of Yuzhou is closest to the capital. Yes, that's him."

He directly tore off a piece of his robe, bit his finger, and wrote a blood edict on the patch of his robe.

When the official finished writing the blood edict, took out the tiger talisman and handed it to the queen, the queen couldn't help but said: "Your Majesty, although Yuzhou is very close to the capital, the rebels are right in front of you, and Zhao Zongquan can do it in time.

?"

"Now that things have come to this, besides Zhao Zongquan, who else can we turn to?"

Of course the official knew this, but now, he really couldn't think of a better candidate. At least Zhao Zongquan must be more trustworthy than the rebellious King Yan.

Empress Cao suddenly said: "Generals in the capital, I remember that Marquis Zhongjing is very brave, and it seems that Concubine Rong did not invite Marquis Zhongjing's wife Sheng Shan. Can Marquis Zhongjing come to rescue him? If he can come

To save him, maybe there is no need to go to Zhao Zongquan."

"Marquis Zhongjing?"

The figure of Zhou Chen appeared in the official's mind involuntarily. He knew Zhou Chen's bravery, but after all, Zhou Chen was a minister and a general. If the tiger talisman was given to Zhou Chen and he was asked to lead the army, he would definitely not be as good as Zhao.

The family members are worthy of trust.

if……

But then I thought about it, in my current situation, I had no choice but to find Zhao Zongquan, so why not let Zhou Chen, who was close at hand, come to my rescue?

According to his observation, Zhou Chen doesn't seem like the kind of person who would commit trouble.

Thinking of this, he gritted his teeth suddenly.

"Okay, then I will also write a blood edict to Marquis Zhongjing and ask him to come to the rescue."

With that said, he used his wet fingers to write an edict again, naming Zhou Chen as the general to counter the rebellion, holding a tiger talisman, and ordered troops to come to counter the rebellion.

Empress Cao calmly put away the bloody edict written by the officials. The officials did not pay attention to it. Zhou Chen was in the capital. If even Zhou Chen had no time to save him, Zhao Zongquan of Yuzhou would probably be even worse.

Too late.

…………

Zhou Chen didn't know what was going on in the palace, nor did he know that the officials had actually written a blood edict to him, but he still waited at home with Gu Tingye.

"It's already noon. The rebels must have almost captured the Imperial City. I wonder what the situation is like in the Imperial City now?"

Gu Tingye couldn't sit still. After all, his eldest wife was still in the palace, how could he sit still.

Zhou Chen opened his eyes and said slowly: "Don't be anxious, wait patiently."

Knowing the plot, of course he made more preparations than that. In fact, not only inside the city, but even outside the city, he sent people to contact the command of the Dragon Guard Army.

If any special situation arises, having soldiers in hand is definitely better than having no soldiers at all.

"Master Hou!"

Yuan Cai suddenly rushed in and said urgently: "Second Brother Cao has brought this person back."

Zhou Chen suddenly stood up and said, "Bring him in."

Cao Er quickly walked in with a young palace maid.

"Master Hou, this person is a palace maid who escaped from the palace. She said that she has a blood edict from His Majesty that she wants to deliver to Master Hou."

"What? Blood edict, given to me?"

Zhou Chen was immediately confused. He knew that the official would definitely write a blood edict, but shouldn't the blood edict be written to Zhao Zongquan, asking Zhao Zongquan to save the Lord? How did it become a blood edict for him?

The little palace maid knelt down directly in front of Zhou Chen: "Slave Ruichu, under the orders of your majesty and empress, escaped from the palace with a blood edict and came to deliver a message to the marquis, asking the marquis to go and save your majesty quickly. Please go and save the marquis quickly."

His Majesty."

Zhou Chen took the blood edict and the tiger talisman, read the contents of the blood edict, and asked him to hold the tiger talisman and go to the western suburbs camp to recruit troops and enter the capital to quell the rebellion.

'Trouble.'

Zhou Chen didn't look happy at all, but instead looked a little ugly.

Gu Tingye also saw the blood edict and urged urgently: "Brother, this is your majesty's blood edict. Let's go to the western suburbs camp to recruit troops."

Zhou Chen said in a deep voice: "Yuancai, take Miss Ruichu to rest first."

After others left, he spoke again: "It's not that easy. Now that the city gate is sealed, it's not that easy for us to leave. If Ruichu escapes from the palace, King Yan will definitely know about it, so he will never let me go. He will definitely

Someone will bring troops to rob me, or even send troops to attack the Marquis' Mansion."

Gu Tingye's expression suddenly changed: "That's true, brother, what should we do?"

Zhou Chen said: "Since the blood edict from the official family has been handed over to me, I absolutely have to accept it, but I can't ignore the Marquis Mansion. Zhong Huai, you should go immediately and seize all the soldiers and horses in the inner city of Ma Junsi."

Transfer to the Marquis' Mansion and guard the Marquis' Mansion for me while I leave the city and go to the camp in the western suburbs."

Gu Tingye knew that the matter was urgent, so he agreed without hesitation: "Brother, don't worry, I will go now. As long as I am still alive, no one will harm my sister-in-law, the old lady, or anyone in the Hou Mansion."

When Gu Tingye left and Zhou Chen left to find Hua Lan, he never thought that the matter would fall on him in the end, so the previous preparations were still seriously inadequate, but now he had no choice.

With the blood edict, he is the most trusted person in the official family. Even if he does nothing, King Yan will never let him go, so now he can only bring order to the chaos.

When Hualan learned about it, she was very shocked. Then she followed Zhou Chen's words and hid in the secret room of the Hou Mansion with her mother Zhou Xu, sister-in-law and children.

After arranging these, Zhou Chen no longer hesitated and immediately ran straight out of the city as quickly as possible. At this time, he didn't care about consuming his internal energy and just wanted to lead his troops into the city as quickly as possible.

If it weren't for his lack of internal strength, he would probably have entered the palace directly. It would be too time-consuming to go out of the city to order troops.

Fortunately, Ma Junsi still has many people in the inner city, led by Gu Tingye, who are enough to guard the Zhongjing Hou Mansion for a long time. And although King Yan now controls the palace, most of his soldiers are probably concentrated in the palace.

As well as various city gates, it is impossible to easily capture the Marquis Mansion in a short period of time.

So now he is competing with King Yan for speed.

Fortunately, he had already arranged manpower outside the city, and as soon as he left the city, he had fast horses and went straight to the camp in the western suburbs.

Zhou Chen did not bring too many people with him. Instead, he directly took the Tiger Talisman and the Blood Edict, and took the Dragon Guard Left and Right Wings, which he was most familiar with, with a total of 20,000 people, and headed straight for the capital.

Soon, Zhou Chen led the army to the city gate, and then used the people he had arranged to suddenly murder people, opened the city gate, and 20,000 dragon guards rushed into the city.

He first assigned two thousand people to the Zhongjing Hou Mansion, and then personally led the army straight to the imperial city.

At this time, the Zhongjing Hou Mansion was filled with the sound of killings. Countless soldiers swarmed into the Hou Mansion, but were blocked by the people in the Hou Mansion. There were corpses everywhere inside and outside the walls.

There was no one in sight on this entire street. The doors of the mansions of dignitaries were all closed, and they were trembling, not daring to come out to help.

Just as Zhou Chen expected, King Yan was furious when he learned that the official had written a blood edict to Zhou Chen, and then ordered his men to capture Zhou Chen, which led to the scene of a large army attacking the Zhongjing Hou Mansion.

Gu Tingye led Ma Junsi's men and nearly a hundred guards from the Hou Mansion to resist tenaciously. With his bravery, he was able to hold off the rebels for a long time.

Just when they were about to be unable to resist it, suddenly the earth-shattering sound of horse hooves came from not far away.

………………

"kill!"

Zhou Chen took the lead and led an army to attack the palace gate.

At this moment, in the Funing Palace, both the officials and the queen were controlled by King Yan. King Yan forced the officials to write an edict, but the officials refused to comply and the stalemate lasted for a long time.

King Yan yelled and threatened with great anger: "Your Majesty, if you want to wait for Marquis Zhongjing to come to rescue you, I advise you not to think about it. I have already sent people to surround Marquis Zhongjing's mansion, and he has never come out.

If you can't get out of the city, even if you leave the city and lead the troops, the lives of his family are in my hands, do you think he will come to save you?"

The official said angrily: "Marquis Zhongjing is unparalleled in his loyalty and bravery. If he takes my blood edict, he will definitely come to rescue you."

King Yan sneered: "He is just a young boy. He has won a few battles. Do you really think he is invincible? What a big joke. I don't have much patience. If you don't write it down, don't blame me for using force."

Already."

"How dare you!" The official glared at him.

"I……"

King Yan was so angry that he was about to draw his sword, but at this moment, someone suddenly ran in from outside the palace and shouted in panic.

"Your Highness, the city gate has been breached. There are people everywhere outside. Our people can hardly resist it."

"What?"

King Yan was shocked: "Who is it? Who is it?"

"It seems to be the Dragon Guard."

"impossible."

King Yan's eyes were bloodshot, and he grabbed the man angrily: "How is it possible? How could he attack the imperial city so quickly? How could it be possible so quickly?"

Compared with him, the officials and the queen were all happy. Although Zhou Chen's speed was indeed beyond their expectations, since the Dragon Guards were coming, it must be Zhou Chen who had attacked.

The officials were even more delighted: "Queen, it's still you, it's still you."

If it weren't for Queen Cao's reminder, he would never have thought of Zhou Chen at that time. Now it seems that the Queen's reminder undoubtedly saved them.

King Yan was so angry that he almost lost his mind. He turned around suddenly and glared at the officials fiercely.

"It's all you."

Led by Zhou Chen, an invincible general, the rebels led by King Yan could not withstand the more than 10,000 Dragon Guards. They retreated steadily and were quickly killed and fled in all directions. Zhou Chen soon arrived with his army.

King Yan's last position.

Funing Hall!

King Yan never expected that he had just breached the Funing Palace not long ago and was about to achieve great success, but was destroyed by a mere Marquis Zhongjing. Now the Funing Palace has become a place where he is trapped.

As soon as Zhou Chen approached Funing Palace, he saw a group of soldiers in front of the palace gate, and then he saw King Yan in the crowd, as well as the officials held hostage by King Yan.

"Hou Zhongjing!"

King Yan stood in the crowd and saw Zhou Chen, who was holding a Fangtian painted halberd, covered in blood and filled with murderous intent. In his eyes, the Zhou Chen in front of him looked like a devil from hell.

He put the sword blade against Guan Jia's neck and shouted emotionally at Zhou Chen: "Your Majesty is in my hands, stop immediately. If you dare to go forward again, I will kill him."

The official was struck by King Yan's sharp sword and did not dare to move for fear that King Yan would really kill him.

However, when he saw Zhou Chen, his eyes were still full of hope. Zhou Chen had already created a miracle, and if he got here so quickly, he would definitely be able to save him.

Zhou Chen looked at King Yan in the palace and said in a cold voice: "Your Highness, King Yan, you are at the end of your rope. Let Your Majesty go. Your Majesty is kind and will definitely forgive you."

The official who was held hostage immediately nodded and said: "Yes, Zhou Qing is right, I promise..."

"Shut up."

King Yan roared, and the sword blade in his hand scratched the officer's neck. He was so frightened that he immediately fell silent and did not dare to say anything more.

"Do you think I'm stupid? I have already forced the palace to mutiny. This is a road of no return. Do you think I will still believe your words? You chose King Yong and were not prepared to give me a way to survive. Now what should I do?

Will I believe you?"

After saying that, he turned to Zhou Chen and shouted loudly: "Zhongjing Hou, I know you are brave. If you don't do this, if you support me, when I ascend the throne and become emperor, I will definitely reward you, even if it means making you a king.

question."

The officials were shocked and felt that King Yan was really crazy. The Zhao family had an ancestral system and the opposite sex was not allowed to be crowned king. King Yan had not yet proclaimed himself emperor and was preparing to crown him king. He was really crazy.

At the same time, he looked at Zhou Chen nervously, fearing that Zhou Chen would lose his mind and agree to King Yan.

Of course, Zhou Chen would not let go of this opportunity to express himself. He shouted loudly: "King Yan, I advise you not to waste your breath. I am loyal to the Jinghou lineage and only loyal to Your Majesty. I will never betray you. Why don't you still

Don’t surrender quickly.”

King Yan roared angrily: "I asked you to be loyal. Let's see if you are still loyal if I kill him."

After saying that, he clenched his sword desperately and was about to seal the official's family as a marquis.

But this was the moment Zhou Chen was waiting for. He flicked his right hand, and saw a sleeve arrow shoot out quickly, spanning the distance in an instant, and hit King Yan's throat directly.

After all, King Yan didn't have time to kill Guan Jia. He was shot through the throat. His eyes widened and he fell back to the ground unwillingly.

"The leader of the thieves, King Yan, is dead. If you don't surrender quickly, kill him!"

Because King Yan suddenly died suddenly, the soldiers who were loyal to him were all stunned for a moment. How could they be Zhou Chen's opponents? They were quickly killed one by one, and those who surrendered surrendered.

Zhou Chen quickly walked up to Guan Jia, who was lying limply on the ground, carefully helped him up, and then knelt down on one knee.

"My escort is late, please forgive me."

Guan Jia took a few deep breaths and tried hard to regain his composure. Looking at Zhou Chen in front of him, he felt more and more happy.

"What's wrong with Qing Zhou? If it weren't for you, I'd probably be dead. Get up, get up quickly."

He personally stretched out his hand to help Zhou Chen up, and then looked at Zhou Chen with red eyes.

"Okay, okay, the lineage of Marquis Zhongjing is truly unparalleled in loyalty and bravery, the only one in the world. I really saw you right, you are my lucky star."

"I am ashamed of myself."

At this time, Queen Cao stumbled over, supported the official, and looked up and down.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, are you okay?"
