Prince Yu Zhao Lingrui didn't know what Yan Wulu was thinking at the moment, he just felt it -
"It seems that at least, His Royal Highness, you really like the Eighteenth Sister."
"...In the future, if possible...forget it, let's be nicer to the Eighteenth Sister."
As King Yu said this, he was about to go back to Yangxin Hall to get the jade seal. It seemed that he was not about to stop him or tell Zhao Lingrui the truth.
"His Royal Highness King Yu, how about asking the guards to send the jade seal over?"
Yan Wulu suddenly said: "...You, too, come out of the palace with me to 'kill the enemy'. From now on, I will protect you."
"Hahaha……"
Prince Yu Zhao Lingrui chuckled when he heard this.
"...Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty. It's not in vain for me to be your friend."
Zhao Lingrui sighed and turned to say——
"It's just that now the imperial city is in danger and the country is in danger. As the prince of Daqian and the prince of Qizhu, I should live and die with Daqian; I should fight against the rebels in this imperial city."
"...You, just take good care of the eighteenth sister for me from now on."
King Yu said, feeling quite sad.
Yan Wulu looked at the other person quietly, and the same was true in his heart.
Princess Taiping Zhao Lingrui, now watching the conversation between these two people, just feels that this Nine Emperors brother just likes to say such righteous words.
In fact, at the end of the day, isn't it just that he doesn't dare to go into battle to kill the enemy?
Zhao Lingrui thought to herself and couldn't help but curl her lips.
"...But forget it, after all, he is the Nine Emperor Brother who loves me the most, so don't belittle him all the time."
Several people saluted.
Yan Wulu watched Prince Yu Zhao Lingrui go to the north gate of the imperial city alone.
He suddenly had some changes in his view of His Highness Prince Yu...
Perhaps, if King Yu ascends the throne, he will indeed be an emperor with many faults. He will build a lot of construction projects, be scheming, fish for fame, enjoy great achievements, and be arrogant and extravagant.
However, thinking about it, he should be a qualified or even excellent emperor.
…
…
The three princes and princes left the palace and came to the western city.
At this moment, Jinling City is much quieter than expected.
Because of the sudden heavy rain, most people in the city had already closed their doors to rest, perfectly missing the Jin King's rebellion.
The rebels of the Jin Dynasty should have entered the city from the northern city gate of Jinling. The defenders of the Sixth Division had a fierce battle with them in the northern city area and then retreated into the imperial city.
Therefore, the remaining three urban areas are almost the same as usual.
King Jin only sent a small number of garrison troops to cooperate with King Jin's people in the City Defense Department to control the city gates and other important places.
If these people, Yan Wulu and others want to force their way out of the city, they will definitely not be able to stop the three princes from joining forces at this moment.
After all, these are the fifteen hundred most elite cavalry in Jinling City at the moment.
Wu Wenwen, the eldest son of Prince Pingxi, drove his horse to a high place, but he still couldn't see clearly the fighting situation between the Jin Prince's rebels and the defenders in the Qing Palace...
When he was about to ask Yan Wulu and Geng Hongcheng how to identify the situation in the palace, he discovered that they had both arrived at another place.
Wu Wenwen went over curiously.
Discovering that Yan Wulu was getting off his horse, he helped an injured man and sat against the wall...
"Brother Yan, who is this brother?"
"A friend of mine, Yan... Yan San."
Yan Wulu responded.
He originally planned to say "Yan Nangui", but suddenly he thought that the female assassin Yan Nangui, who assassinated Wang Jia, is now the most wanted criminal in Jinling...
Although these two feudal princes are his friends, it is better not to cause such trouble.
"Brother Yan, how do you feel now?" Yan Wulu asked Yan Nangui caringly.
When we first met, Yan Nangui had already collapsed on the street.
Yan Wulu initially checked his pulse, and it seemed that he was fine and just suffered a small internal injury.
But for some reason, Yan Nangui seems to be extremely weak now.
Moreover, he was given some pills that nourished Qi and blood before he gradually regained consciousness...
Yan Nangui gradually opened his eyelids after hearing Yan Wulu's voice.
He was so angry that he looked at Yan Wulu and whispered——
"Prince Jin...Prince Jin wants to rebel."
When the other people heard this, a burst of black lines appeared on their foreheads.
Geng Hongcheng, the eldest son of Prince Dingnan, was an outspoken person. When he heard this, he smiled and said: "Brother Yan, your friend's intelligence ability is average."
"...Prince Jin has already gone to the palace, and he just told us that Prince Jin is going to rebel."
"Brother Geng! This is news that Yan San almost risked his life for. You shouldn't joke about it casually." Wu Wenwen reminded him in a slightly serious tone.
"Have you... reached the palace?" Yan Nangui was a little surprised, breathing intermittently.
"It's okay, Prince Jin will not succeed."
Yan Wulu comforted him and continued, "...I will send someone to take you to treat your internal injuries first. I don't know why, but you seem to be very weak now."
"His Royal Highness..."
Yan Nangui grabbed Yan Wulu's right hand with one hand, "...Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness, but I can't...live anymore."
"...This time I sneaked into Prince Jin's Mansion and was discovered by Prince Jin's people. I spent too much energy and risked my life in a fight before I was wounded and broke through."
"Ben Yuan?" Yan Wulu had never heard of this term.
Wu Wenwen, the prince of Prince Pingxi, explained at the right time——
"Original element, every warrior who has broken through to the fourth level or above and formed an inner elixir will have this thing in his body. Some warriors have the secret method of 'burning the original element', which can greatly increase the warrior's strength in a short period of time, but this element
If too much Yuan is consumed, it cannot be recovered."
"...Furthermore, the reason why warriors can live longer than ordinary people is because of the existence of the original essence. If the original essence is consumed, the life span will also be reduced. This is an irreparable loss."
"...Brother Yan, you have only been practicing martial arts for more than a year. It's not surprising that you don't know this kind of thing."
"Um."
Geng Hongcheng nodded in agreement and added: "Moreover, many warriors, if they are not well-informed people or have not learned the secret method of 'burning the original element', in fact, they generally do not know the existence of the original element."
Yan Wulu was a little surprised, and he wanted to ask in his heart - how did you two know?
But of course, Yan Wulu would not be stupid enough to ask such a question...
He turned to look at Yan Nangui, "Brother Yan, you..."
"His Royal Highness, as they said, my vitality has been exhausted too much, and my life span is about to expire. I suffered internal injuries when I broke out of the siege, and I won't live much longer."
Yan Wulu was silent for a while.
Yan Nangui seemed to have recovered a little, and he said as if talking to himself——
"Originally, I sneaked into Prince Jin's Mansion because I heard that Prince Jin was living in confusion after he was demoted. I wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to see if there was any chance to assassinate him, or to take back Dongyue Kingdom's national treasure [Two Blades].
Trident].”
"...But, after all, I am still too weak."
"... I thought I could bring out an important piece of news for you to be wary of, but it turned out to be outdated news."
"...For a loser like me, no wonder I can't even protect Her Royal Highness Princess Nangui."
Yan Wulu remained silent.
The other two princes also roughly knew this person's true identity at this moment, but they left in time to avoid suspicion and no longer surrounded him.
Taiping Princess Zhao Lingrui, who was originally in the middle of the team and protected by layers of Zhenbei cavalry guards, saw everyone stop advancing. She drove her horse to the front of the team and saw Yan Wulu's figure...
Zhao Lingrui was about to go over, but was stopped by two princes.
"Brother Yan is discussing secret matters. Your Highness, Princess, it would be better not to get too close."
Zhao Lingrui was stunned for a moment, and she felt angry. She wanted to rush past on horseback!
But she looked at Yan Wulu in the distance and felt that she shouldn't let her fiancé's friend be knocked away by her little red horse, so she endured it...
She craned her neck to see who Yan Wulu was talking to.
Suddenly, I saw the person sitting against the wall, with an extremely delicate face...
Zhao Lingrui was very jealous at that time - could this beautiful woman be one of Yan Wulu's two side chambers?
They all followed me to Jinling. I was so angry!
…
Yan Nangui laughed at himself.
He suddenly looked at Yan Wulu, "His Royal Highness, can you agree to my last request?"
"What request?"
"Kill King Jin."
Yan Wulu nodded slightly when he heard the words.
"Brother Yan, go ahead with peace of mind. Prince Jin will not survive tonight."
Yan Nangui seemed to have settled the last thing in his heart...
There was nothing he could do, that was all he could do.
Yan Nangui's physical vitality drained rapidly, and his eyes became hollow and lifeless. At the last moment, he recalled many scenes from his previous life——
The plains and hills of Dongyue Kingdom.
The myth of Princess Nangui's "retreating the army in one dance".
And, on that day, the princess and her hairpin, under the bright sunshine, together with herself, decided that the character "雁" would be their surname.
…
Zhao Lingrui couldn't hold it back after all.
She got off her horse and rushed directly.
Naturally, the two princes and princes did not dare to actually stop him.
"Yan Wulu, who are you talking to?!"
Zhao Lingrui strode over like a meteor.
When I got closer, I found that the person beside the wall was lifeless.
Zhao Lingrui was slightly stunned...
"She...is dead?"
"Well, he just died." Yan Wulu said calmly.
"If there is no heron or a consort, I will mourn and accept the change."
Zhao Lingrui spoke to comfort him.
Yan Wulu nodded slightly and stood up to observe silence.
Zhao Lingrui also followed.
But she still couldn't suppress her inner curiosity and couldn't help but ask again——
"I don't know, which one of the two sisters is this?",
"ha?"
Yan Wulu was shocked when he heard this.
"Didn't you say that there were two ladies in the side chamber before?"
Zhao Lingrui added.
Suddenly, Zhao Lingrui was startled, "...could it be possible that this is the new girl you hooked up with in Jinling City!"
Yan Wulu held his forehead slightly.
"Princess, this is a friend of mine, a man. He just died because of King Jin's rebellion."
"Male?!"
Zhao Lingrui was shocked when he heard this.
After that, after hearing the second half of the sentence clearly, I felt a little depressed again...
"Brother Fourteenth Emperor, he... is sorry."
Yan Wulu did not expect that this "Female Overlord of Jinling" would actually apologize to him?
He has never heard of such rumors...
"It's okay. You should not be blamed for what Prince Jin did."
Yan Wulu replied simply.
"Let's go, we still have to stop King Jin."
Yan Wulu said, taking Zhao Lingrui back to the team.
Everyone was about to set off, but they saw a mighty troop of soldiers and horses approaching slowly.
"alert!"
Geng Hongcheng, the crown prince of Dingnan, spoke out.
The mounted guards picked up their weapons and reined in their horses.
Ye Changtian and Li Mieling, who were originally in the team, also quickly came to Yan Wulu's side. They were always prepared to at least ensure that the prince left safely if the battle went unfavorably.
The team ahead is getting closer and closer.
When the two teams were only about a hundred meters apart, Yan Wulu finally saw the opponent's flag clearly——
"It's Prime Minister Qin."
…
Prime Minister Qin Shuzheng, at this moment, wearing armor and leading an army with no end in sight, appeared in the western part of Jinling City.
Encountered Yan Wulu and others on a narrow road.
"Prince Zhenbei."
Qin Shuzheng also saw the other party clearly and spoke lightly.
Yan Wulu smiled lightly, bowed his hands on his horse and saluted, "Prime Minister of Qin."
Only at this moment did Yan Wulu realize that Qin Shuzheng had always acted like a scholar and a Confucian scholar, but when he put on armor, he looked like a powerful Confucian general.
...I just don’t know what the warrior’s strength and military ability are.
"The King of Jin rebelled. Why are the three princes leading the army here?"
Qin Shuzheng asked with a hint of caution.
He has always been like this. In the past few private meetings with Yan Wulu, although he was thinking of Yan Wulu both inside and outside, he always gave people an extremely cold, cautious and distant feeling.
Wu Wenwen, the eldest son of Prince Pingxi, and Geng Hongcheng, the eldest son of Prince Dingnan, were at a loss for how to answer at this moment.
They are not sure——
Prime Minister Qin brought such a large army, and it seemed that he had long known about the rebellion of Jin King Zhao Lingcheng.
They didn't know whether Qin Shuzheng was leading the army to quell the rebellion of King Qin, or to fish in troubled waters? Or maybe he had reached some agreement with King Jin?
They don't know how to answer.
On the contrary, it was Yan Wulu, the prince of Zhenbei who was leading the team, who stood up at this moment and spoke forcefully——
"On the orders of the Crown Prince, we came here through a secret passage from the palace, preparing to surprise the rear of King Jin's rebel army."
"With such a small number of people, they dare to attack King Jin's army. The three princes are really brave and loyal."
Qin Shuzheng's tone finally seemed to have a touch of gentleness.
Wu Wenwen, the prince of Pingxi, and Geng Hongcheng, the prince of Dingnan, could not help but breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that Yan Wulu had answered the question in the right direction.
"Prime Minister of Qin, I must have gone to Prince Qin to quell the rebellion." Yan Wulu asked.
"Exactly."
Qin Shuzheng said: "...I followed your Majesty's order to lead the army of the famous family here. After seeing the fire signal in the palace, I entered the palace to kill the enemy King Qin."
When Yan Wulu heard this, he secretly thought——
"It turns out that the old emperor already knew that the King of Jin was going to rebel. He even knew it earlier than the prince Zhao Lingfeng, who was the master of the secret door, otherwise, there would be no time for Prime Minister Qin to summon the army."
When it comes to this army, Yan Wulu glances at it.
Only then did we discover that the composition of the army behind Prime Minister Qin was not that of any army in Daqian.
It is composed of private soldiers, guards, and retinues of the Jinling family.
At one time, there were such a huge number.
Moreover, it seems that these people are still advanced warriors. Although they do not know the art of military formation, after King Jin enters the palace, there will definitely be a melee. By then, King Jin's sergeants will definitely not be able to form military formations. Already.
Then, in the melee, these advanced warriors were more terrifying than the sergeants under King Jin.
No wonder the old emperor asked Prime Minister Qin to wait for the flying fire signal before entering the palace... Thinking about it, it probably wasn't to show off at a critical moment.
"Since the Crown Prince is also following the Crown Prince's order, why not join forces with me? When the time comes, follow the signal and enter the palace together to kill the enemy King Qin."
