Li Chengye put on his armor, rode his horse and stood on the White Jade Square, looking towards the east of the city. The loud noise just now shocked the palace. Prince Chun summoned the Tiger Guard and Fengwu Camp to get ready. A scholar in his fifties
An old man in green clothes walked over quickly and said, "Your Majesty, it will be too late if we don't send troops."
Prince Chun pondered slightly and said: "The situation outside has not been ascertained. If we send out troops so rashly, the defense in the palace will be empty. If there is another conflict with the Guanshan Camp and the guards in the city, we will get an advantage over the thieves. It is better to contact the Forbidden Army before sending out troops."
, Don’t worry, the imperial army is here, the palace will be worry-free.”
"But, Your Majesty, the Tiger Guards we have sent out to contact us have received no news from two batches in a row. If we don't send troops at this time, I fear that there will be changes in the palace." The old man in green said anxiously.
"Mr. Zhao, please be patient for a moment, Chengye will send someone over again." After saying this, Prince Chun was about to send his bodyguard to contact him again.
Suddenly, a tiger guard galloped over on horseback. Before his horse could stop, he flew to the ground and rolled. He knelt down in front of Prince Chun and said, "Report! Your Majesty, Grand Master Yu has already arrived at the palace gate. All the guards in the city have moved to the west of the city."
Outside the guardhouse, the other two guardhouses are empty."
"What!?" Both Prince Chun and the old man in green changed their expressions. The old man in green asked anxiously: "Where is the guard of the west guard station of the city now?"
Hu Wei paused and said in a trembling voice: "They are all dead."
Prince Chun took a breath of cold air and looked at each other with the old man in green. The old man in green said anxiously: "Your Majesty."
Prince Chun calmed down and shouted: "Send troops to Suzaku."
"Yes." The soldiers of the Tiger Guard and Fengwu Camp shouted in unison, raising their horses and raising their swords. Prince Chun picked up the reins of his horse and was the first to leave the palace gate. The old man in green sighed slightly and followed closely behind.
There is a long distance from Prince Chun's Mansion to the palace gate. Even riding a horse will take some time. By the time Prince Chun arrives at Zhuque Street, the place is already covered with military flags and the moon is covered with the sound of hunting. Prince Chun Le
The horses were stationed on the horse, and the bows and arrows of the tiger guards and phoenix dance battalions under their command were strung up, and they were all aimed at the soldiers in the square, and they only waited for the order to release the arrows.
At this time, the soldiers in the square suddenly separated and came straight to Prince Chun. The old man in green shouted to stop the Tiger Guards and Feng Wuying soldiers. The man was ten steps away from Prince Chun. He cupped his fists and saluted, "But
Prince Chun?"
"Yes, please give the general a name." Prince Chun asked in a deep voice.
"The last general Qu Zhe, General Huaihua of Guanshan Camp, this is the order of Prince Mu. Please forgive Prince Mu for not being able to come in person. The Imperial Army has participated in the rebellion, and now the palace has fallen into the hands of Chengyun. Please forgive Prince Mu for his general."
The soldiers settled on the west side of the square, and Prince Mu asked the prince to give a brief introduction to the army." After saying a courtesy, he threw the token to Prince Chun.
Prince Chun took the order, and it turned out to be the order from King Mu. After thinking for a moment, he turned to the old man in green and said, "Mr. Zhao, you are here to command the troops and horses and act according to the opportunity. I will go to the Chinese army to meet King Mu."
"Yes, Your Majesty." The old man in green said with a slight nod.
Prince Chun turned his horse's head and handed the token to the old man. He led two soldiers and followed Captain Qu Zhe to the Central Army. As soon as he arrived at the Central Army, he rode up to meet him and asked from a distance: "But Thirteen
Brother is here?"
"Yes, Chengwen, what's going on?" Prince Chun was overjoyed when he saw Li Chengwen and asked hurriedly.
While he was talking, the Shepherd King came up to him. The Shepherd King Li Chengwen was the youngest brother of Emperor Wanlong. He was more than thirty years old. He was handsome and handsome. He was dressed in a military uniform and looked even more heroic.
"The situation is not good. The cavalry army has rebelled. Jinan King Li Chengru was bribed by Yu Chengyun in some unknown way and opened the palace gate. Now the palace is under Chengyun's control, and the whereabouts of the emperor's brother is unknown."
"Is there any news from Changming Palace?"
"No, the palace gate is closed. News from inside cannot come out, and news from outside cannot come in. This imperial city has become a dead place." Li Chengwen said in a cold voice with a murderous look on his face.
"Huh?" Li Chengye was surprised and asked, "How strong are the rebels?"
"There are more than 2,000 cavalry, nearly 5,000 forbidden troops, plus the private soldiers of the Taishi Mansion, there are nearly 8,000."
Li Chengye took a breath and said in shock: "So many?"
"That's right, Thirteenth Brother, I'm just a fool to say that the situation is not good." Li Chengwen sighed, "Our Guanshan camp has only ten thousand, thirty-four troops and horses, plus Thirteenth Brother's Dingbei Army, at most
At 15,000, I am not afraid of a head-on battle, but if I want to attack a city, it is a bit insufficient."
Prince Chun also frowned. The palace gate was closed, and he was helpless. If he wanted to attack the city, without siege equipment, these soldiers and horses would be no different from dying. They could only wait for the opportunity to move after taking advantage of the clouds to clear the palace.
Prince Chun raised his head and was about to discuss countermeasures with King Mu, but saw that King Mu's expression was quite strange. He was anxious but not worried. Then Li Chengye asked: "Chengwen, when did you enter the city? Do you know that there are guards in the city?
Where are they? According to what you just said, the capital guards did not join the rebels. Now except for the west guard post of the city, the capital guards in the two guard posts in the east and south of the city have disappeared. Chengwen, do you know the reason?
"
Li Chengwen looked at Li Chengye in surprise and said, "Brother Thirteen, don't you know?" After saying that, Prince Chun shook his head.
Entering the city, Brother Thirteen, you should hear a loud noise, which is the sound of the city gate exploding. Our cavalry entered the city, but it was still a step too late. We did not intercept Yu Chengyun before he entered the palace, nor did we expect that Li Chengru actually surrendered.
Yu Chengyun got the chance, but Yu Chengyun took the lead. As for the one who blew open the city gate, it was the Duweiying."
"Well, good, Xuanci is wise and decisive, and he should be the leader of the next generation of our Li family." Prince Chun nodded and said.
King Mu glanced at Prince Chun strangely and said nothing.
At this time, a sharp sound was suddenly heard from the east of the imperial city, and three loud arrows were shot out of the air. They rose to a height of more than fifty feet and exploded. They were reflected brilliantly under the moonlight. Li Chengwen raised his sword eyebrows and said with a smile on his lips:
"It's done."
Prince Chun felt a little strange and was about to ask what happened when he saw Qu Zhe, the general of Huaihua Lang who had just led the way, flying over and returned: "Two princes, the water gate on the east wall of the palace has been broken. I, the infantry,
Shooting sound, Hu Ben, the four schools of Yueqi have entered the palace, please give me your instructions."
"Okay," King Mu gave a long laugh and shouted, "Where is Mr. Xiao?"
"My subordinates are here." A voice came from the army behind him. The voice was very familiar. Prince Chun turned his head in surprise, and it turned out to be Xiao Baisei, the Nine-Life Man.
Xiao Baisheng nodded to the two princes, jumped onto a totem, and shouted: "Generals, take the order!"
King Mu stood on horseback and shouted: "Chengwen accepts the order, please forgive Chengwen for not being able to perform the ceremony properly."
"Okay," Xiao Baisheng roared loudly, suppressing all the noisy sounds in the field, and then unfolded the imperial edict in his hand and said: "By God's blessing, the emperor issued an edict: I now order Mu Wang to raise troops to clear the emperor's side, put down the rebellion, and suppress the chaos.
If those who surrender are not killed, the leading generals will be removed from their posts and demoted to commoners. I will not hold the rest of the generals accountable. If they persist, I will kill the nine tribes. If I die, Prince Chun Li Chengye will succeed me, for the sake of the fourteenth generation king of Dagan.
, all the rebels encountered were killed in front of the palace gate, I admire this."
"Chengwen accepts the decree and thanks the emperor for his kindness." King Mu shouted loudly, drew out his long sword, pointed at the palace door, "Attack!"
The officers and soldiers of the Guanshan Camp unsheathed their swords and guns and slowly pushed towards the main entrance of the palace. Prince Chun could not be surprised and hurriedly signaled to the soldiers that he ordered the Northern Army to follow the Guanshan Camp. The arrangements were well made. Prince Chun turned his head and praised.
He said in a voice: "Brother Seventeen, there is a good plan to build a plank road to cross Chencang secretly. It seems that Brother Yu is going to learn from you."
"Haha, Brother Thirteen, don't make fun of me. When it comes to marching and fighting, you are the number one person in Da Gan. How can I compare to you? Brother Thirteen has already arranged these strategies. I am just following the script.
"
"Huh?" Li Chengye was stunned for a moment, but the situation was urgent, so he could only suppress his doubts and follow the army towards the palace gate.
At this time, the killing cries in the palace became louder and louder, and could be clearly heard outside the palace walls. Guanshan Camp and Dingbei Army moved beyond the range of bows and arrows. King Mu signaled the soldiers to stop, and Li Chengwen raised his voice and shouted:
"The officers and soldiers of the imperial army listen to the order. The emperor has an edict. Those who surrendered will be reinstated. Everyone except Li Chengru will forget their fault. If you persist in your stubbornness, you will lose your life when the city is destroyed."
"My officers and soldiers from the Guanshan Camp have entered the imperial city and have broken open the palace gates. If you are willing to surrender, I, the Prince of Chun, Li Chengye, will guarantee that all of you will be reinstated. Anyone who captures Li Chengru alive will be promoted to the third level and rewarded with ten thousand taels of silver. However,
If you insist on going your own way, your parents, wives, and children will be executed in front of the palace gate, and the Dingbei army will obey the order." As soon as King Mu finished speaking, another majestic voice sounded from the middle army.
"Here." More than a thousand soldiers shouted in unison, and the palace guards were stunned into silence.
"I call you dozens of times. If the city gate is not opened, you will go and capture all the parents and relatives of the officers and soldiers registered in the imperial army. Anyone who resists will be killed without mercy. If you violate this oath, it will be like this sword." After saying this, Li Chengye drew out the sword.
The sword of the soldier beside him swung upwards, his internal force was everywhere, and the sword broke with a sound.
"Yes," the Dingbei army shouted in unison.
"One. Two." Echoing Prince Chun's voice, the shouts of death in the palace became louder and louder, and they got closer and closer to the palace gate, "Seven."
Suddenly, an old and angry voice came from the top floor of the palace gate: "Li Chengye has the ability to fight with swords and guns. How can the dignified Prince Chun Dingbei Hou do this!?"
"Haha," Prince Chun said with a long laugh: "Li Chengru, Li Chengru, you raised troops to rebel and betrayed the clan, and you actually accused others of doing it? For your own selfish desires, you roped in more than a thousand soldiers from the Imperial Army to be buried with you. This is considered fair and square.
? Before the rebellion, have you ever thought about how many of the five thousand forbidden troops are not in Zhuocheng? Such behavior will punish the nine tribes according to law, have you ever thought about them? "
"You, Prince Chun, are such a sharp-tongued man. Huh, we are the ones who are truly at the side of Tsunaki-san. Now I am in trouble, and it's not because of you people. You only know how to plunder the people's fat, fish and meat, and the court has been turned into a mess by you."
.”
"What a loyal and patriotic man," Li Chengru was interrupted by Li Chengye before he finished speaking, "But what kind of person are you, Li Chengru? If others don't know, don't I, the king, also know? I joined the army when I was eighteen years old, and now I have
It took more than twenty years and hundreds of battles in my life, with more victories and fewer defeats, to lay the foundation of our Great Ganbei Prefecture. The foreigners outside the Great Wall will not invade the central prefectures. Even so, I dare not come with the banner of loyalty to the emperor and patriotism.
If I pursue my own selfish desires, I will not trade the lives of my brothers who live and die in exchange for my own glory and wealth.
Forbidden Army officers and soldiers, your allegiance is to our Dagan Dynasty, not to this despicable villain. If you can't even protect your own parents, how can you protect your family and country?" After saying this, before Li Chengru could reply, Li Chengye shouted "Ten"
!”
At this time, someone on the palace wall was heard shouting: "I surrender, don't kill my parents, I."
There was a scream, and the words suddenly stopped. At this time, the Dingbei army shouted in unison: "Whoever kills our brothers, kill them!"
The officers and soldiers of the Guanshan camp also shouted in unison: "Whoever kills our brothers, kill them!"
Several screams were heard from the palace wall again, and Li Chengru was heard scolding angrily: "Stop, everyone stop, don't mess up."
Suddenly, Li Chengru made no sound, and a deep voice slowly came out: "Everyone stop, otherwise Xiao will kill Li Chengru." It turned out to be Xiao Baiyi who had nine lives.
Xiao Baisheng took advantage of the chaos and jumped up to the palace wall with a tiger claw, a military weapon. Taking advantage of the King of Jinan's unpreparedness, he took advantage of the situation and captured it in one fell swoop. The soldiers on the palace wall were distracted, and no one realized that Xiao Baisheng had climbed up.
By the time I woke up at the palace gate, it was already too late.
"Open the palace door!" Xiao Baisheng shouted.
The soldiers on the palace wall had no fighting spirit and lowered their weapons. Several of Li Chengru's confidants had been hacked to death with knives. The remaining soldiers were in panic. At this time, Li Chengye's voice from below the city sounded again: "Open the city gate.
What I just said still stands true."
A general who looked like a Forbidden Army officer sighed, threw his weapon on the ground, and said: "Open the palace door."
The remaining soldiers also threw their weapons on the ground and sat down slumped. Seeing this, Li Chengru was so angry that he rolled his eyes and passed out.
The palace door creaked and opened slowly. Prince Chun and King Mu rode side by side and entered the Dagan Palace. King Mu admired and said: "Thirteenth brother, you are such a man of strategy, so you can capture the palace gate without any bloodshed."
, as expected. Hey, Brother Thirteen, you seem unhappy?" Li Chengwen saw Li Chengye frowning and asked.
Li Chengye shook his head and said, "In such an important position, why isn't Yu Chengyun here?"
Li Chengwen was stunned and said: "Could it be that there are other variables in the palace?"
Li Chengye said nothing. He looked at the soldiers of the Dingbei Army and Guanshan Camp who were escorting the Forbidden Army. He patted his horse and said, "Let's go, Chengwen, and ask Li Chengru."
The two rode horses and came to Xiao Baisheng's side. Li Chengye said with a smile: "Master Xiao, you are indeed the number one master in Da Gan. The twenty-foot palace wall is as smooth as walking on the ground. Well, I will remember you this time to quell the chaos."
A great achievement.”
Xiao Baishi smiled slightly and lifted Li Chengru in front of the horse. As soon as he let go, Li Chengru collapsed to the ground and muttered to himself, but he could not hear what he was saying clearly. Li Chengye called several times, but there was no answer. Xiao
Bai Shei was furious and stepped forward to grab Li Chengru and shouted: "Traitor, where is the emperor?"
Li Chengru was stunned for a moment, then burst into tears, feeling miserable. Li Chengye was furious and ordered the Northern Army to take him down and keep him under strict supervision.
King Mu said anxiously: "If the emperor falls into their hands, all our efforts will be in vain. Mr. Xiao, do you know where the emperor has gone?"
Xiao Baishi shook his head and said: "Xiaguan has been with the prince all the time, and he doesn't know the situation in the palace."
Li Chengye's eyes flashed with a stern look, and he said: "There is no other way, Chengwen, your Guanshan Camp and my Dingbei Army will search together, regardless of the rules, we must find the emperor brother."
King Mu nodded and was about to pass the order when suddenly many men and horses appeared in the distance. The Dingbei Army and Guanshan Camp were immediately on alert. Just as they were about to get within the range of bows and arrows, Xiao Baisheng hurriedly shouted: "Your Majesty,
He is one of our own."
At this time, a person flew out from the crowd, rising and falling like a butterfly through flowers, and came to Prince Chun and Prince Mu. He cupped his fists and saluted: "Your Majesty, Commander-in-Chief." It was a woman, and just the sound of her voice made people laugh.
She is shivering from the cold, has a delicate figure, and wears a black veil on her head, which adds a bit of mystery.
Prince Chun and Brother Mu Wang were startled by the peerless movement of the visitor. They looked at Xiao Baisheng suspiciously, but saw Xiao Baisheng nodded slightly and said: "Your Highness, this is Xiao's fifth sister, the third of the eight-star guard."
Four stars, besieged on all sides." After speaking, he turned to Chu Ying'er and asked: "Fifth sister, how is the palace?"
The palace guards have eight stars and one guard. Their martial arts are ranked from low to high. Xiao Baisheng, who has nine lives, has the highest martial arts. However, his status is ranked from high to low. Xiao Baisheng is the boss of the eight stars and one guard. These nine people
Except for three or four guards, the rest of them are very low-key on weekdays. They have heard their names for a long time but never met them.
The name of being surrounded on all sides was mentioned by Xiao Baisheng during a palace banquet. When it comes to martial arts, Lao Wu can't catch her ten moves, but when it comes to light skills, he will never be able to catch up with her in this life. Everyone at the banquet was surprised and didn't expect eight
There are masters in the stars who are better than Xiao Baisheng in body skills. The reputation of being beleaguered on all sides spread throughout Zhuocheng. However, Xiao Baisheng did not say at that time who the beleaguered were by name, male or female. When they met this time,
Everyone was extremely surprised. No one expected that the beleaguered woman was actually a woman. The eyes of several bold soldiers and guards were already roving up and down Chu Ying'er's graceful body.
Chu Ying'er's tone became even colder, and she snorted coldly: "The Seventh Prince will be here soon, and the Emperor has gone to the Heaven Praying Platform."
