Lan Ling took a step forward and was about to speak when he heard a burst of noise in the distance. Everyone was a little surprised and couldn't help but raise their heads and look into the distance.
I saw hundreds of people coming bustlingly in the distance. The leader was Yang Su, the Duke of Yue. Next to him were Gao Jiong, Li Yuan, and Chang Sun Sheng. Behind him were a group of servants, each holding a weapon and walking towards them fiercely.
.
Shangguan Lin was obviously surprised. This guy was born under Yang Su. Now that he saw Yang Su coming, he couldn't help but feel a little frightened.
Yang Su and others proudly came to Shangguan Lin and others, bowed to Chu Yunfei, and shouted in unison: "Welcome His Royal Highness to return to Chang'an!"
Chu Yunfei nodded and said: "No need to be polite. I heard that something happened to my father. We came here at night, but unexpectedly we encountered General Shangguan blocking us."
With that said, Chu Yunfei turned his head and glanced at Shangguan Lin.
Shangguan Lin's expression changed slightly, but he didn't speak.
Yang Su and others stood up and looked up behind Chu Yunfei and others. They couldn't help but feel a little angry. Yang Su even turned to look at Shangguan Lin and said angrily: "Shangguan Lin, what do you mean?
How dare you let the city defense soldiers point their weapons at His Royal Highness?"
Shangguan Lin couldn't help but take a step back when he shouted, and then said: "Mr. Yue, you don't know something. This is the emperor's order. Everyone who enters Chang'an City should put down their weapons. The last general, the last general
This is also to act under orders, and to repay the hope that the country of Yue will be protected by the sea."
Yang Su snorted coldly and said: "Your Majesty? I am also a veteran of the founding of the country. Why haven't I heard from the late emperor that there is such an order? Shangguan Lin, I see that you are really getting better and better as you live. You don't distinguish between right and wrong. What a pity.
You have been under me for so many years, but you have gone against the grain and helped the evildoer!"
Shangguan Lin's face turned red after being scolded by him, but he did not dare to say anything more.
Changsun Sheng said from the side: "Brother Shangguan, you have to think carefully. This is a time of chaos. If you accidentally take the wrong road and stand in the wrong team, I'm afraid you won't even be able to retreat."
When Changsun Sheng was in charge of the city defense, Shangguan Lin was just his deputy general. After Yang Jian died suddenly, the Queen's decree came from the harem, appointing Shangguan Lin as the city defense, and evacuated Changsun Sheng. Changsun Sheng was so angry that he
Sick at home.
He has been a city defense officer for some time, and these city defense officers and soldiers are all his subordinates. Now when he saw Chang Sun Sheng, he couldn't help but feel a little panicked.
After Shangguan Lin heard Chang Sun Sheng's words, he couldn't help but hesitate. After all, Yang Yong was his benefactor. Now everyone knows the situation in Chang'an City. After Yang Jian's death, the remaining Yang Yong and Yang Guang will definitely start a fight.
Zhang is fighting for power. Yang Yong currently has the upper hand in Chang'an City. However, there are 60,000 tiger warriors outside Chang'an City. There are also Yang Su and other generals in Chang'an City supporting Yang Guang. Outside Chang'an City, there are patrons Wang Yang Lin and General Han.
Capture the Tiger He Ruobi and other brave generals also supported Yang Guang. The outcome of this contest is actually self-evident.
But Shangguan Lin still had some hesitation in his heart. After all, it was Yang Yong who had single-handedly promoted him. If he let Chu Yunfei and others pass now, it would be tantamount to defecting before the battle. If Yang Yong was to benefit in the future, how could he spare himself?
Shangguan Lin hesitated in his heart, but Yang Su and others were impatient. The Duke of Yue took a step forward, saluted Chu Yunfei and said: "Your Highness, follow me inside now. The old man wants to take a look.
Who is blind enough to dare to block my way?"
With that said, Yang Su reached out and took Chu Yunfei's arm, and walked proudly to Shangguan Lin.
Shangguan Lin's face turned red and white for a while. He didn't know what to do for a while. He moved his hand in front of him, but he didn't dare to lift it up.
Changsun Sheng shouted to all the city defense soldiers: "Brothers, listen to my wise advice, Changsun Sheng, and don't bet your own future and destiny! We are all loyal and brave soldiers of the Sui Dynasty! Before his death, the late emperor had already designated the Jin Dynasty.
Your Highness is the Crown Prince, and now that His Highness the Crown Prince has returned to Chang'an City, he is the Lord of our Sui Dynasty! He is the Emperor of our Great Sui Dynasty! How can we treat His Highness the Crown Prince like this without distinguishing between loyal and traitorous, and indiscriminately?"
All the city defense officers and soldiers were all Chang Sun Sheng's former subordinates. When they heard what he said, they couldn't help but feel moved. In fact, everyone was convinced. Chang Sun Sheng was right. Yang Jian had made Yang Guang the crown prince before his death, and then
He was ordered to go out of the city to quell the invaders, but unexpectedly Yang Jian died mysteriously. The city defense soldiers also understood to some extent what the trick was. Seeing Chu Yunfei's army pressing down on the border and gathering outside Chang'an City, all the city defense officers and soldiers were also uneasy.
Besides, there are really not many of these city defense officers and soldiers who are Yang Yong's confidants. How can they be willing to help him regardless of life and death?
After hearing what Chang Sun Sheng said, the city defense soldiers relaxed, the weapons in their hands drooped downwards, and they turned to look at Shangguan Lin.
Shangguan Lin's face was ashen, knowing that the situation was over. Even if he was willing to give orders now, I'm afraid these soldiers might not be willing to listen to him. Moreover, even if these soldiers fought with the same enemy and the women's army in front of them, they might not be their opponents.
After all, Shangguan Lin is a veteran who has experienced hundreds of battles, and he still has some discernment. The women's army in front of him remained calm in the face of danger. Even when he ordered the soldiers to take up weapons and face everyone, these women showed no fear and instead revealed
There were bursts of murderous intent, but this calmness and murderous intent made him feel like he was different from an ordinary soldier. It was a murderous intent that he had only experienced through countless life and death experiences.
Thousands of thoughts raced through his mind, and he couldn't help but feel despair. He watched Yang Su holding Chu Yunfei's arm as he passed by him, but he didn't raise his hand after all.
Yang Su took Chu Yunfei's hand and smiled, without paying any attention to Shangguan Lin beside him, and went straight towards the palace.
Chu Yunfei was somewhat grateful in his heart. Yang Su really had nothing to say to him. No matter what time, he always stood on his side. Compared with Li Yuan's deepness, Yang Su was more straightforward and did not care about the surroundings at all.
No matter how people look at it, they are determined to treat themselves anyway.
When Chu Yunfei thought of this, he couldn't help but look back at Li Yuan, and saw Li Yuan looking towards him. Chu Yunfei looked towards him, his eyes flickering, but he still smiled. Chu Yunfei also smiled.
He nodded but didn't say anything.
When everyone arrived at the palace, they could feel the fragrance lingering inside from a distance, and bursts of gentle crying came from inside.
Lan Ling had already burst into tears, and Chu Yunfei sighed softly. Although he had no feelings for Yang Jian, after coming here, he felt a little sad when he thought of the past events between him and Yang Jian.
When they arrived outside the palace gate, they saw hundreds of imperial guards standing around the palace gate with guns, strictly guarding the palace. When they saw Chu Yunfei and a group of people approaching, they all looked wary.
Chu Yunfei raised his hand in the air, signaling the female soldiers behind him to stand still.
Lan Ling cried and rushed forward, but heard someone in the Imperial Guard shouting: "Who is it? Stop!"
As he said that, the imperial guards raised their weapons one after another.
Lan Ling seemed to be unconscious, crying and rushing forward. Chu Yunfei was startled, his figure flashed, he had come to Lan Ling, stretched out his hand to hold Lan Ling, raised his head and said angrily to the shouting officer in the imperial guard.
: "How dare you! How dare you be rude to Her Royal Highness the Princess!"
He shouted angrily, like a thunderbolt in a clear sky, which only made the ears of the Imperial Guard officers and soldiers ring.
The officers and soldiers nearby recognized Lan Ling, Chu Yunfei and others, and hurriedly said to the Imperial Guard officer: "Captain Li, this is Prince Jin and Princess Lan Ling!"
The officer surnamed Li also saw it clearly, was startled, and hurriedly sent someone to report inside. However, he took two steps forward and said to Chu Yunfei: "It turns out that Prince Jin has arrived, and it was the general who was reckless.
I hope Prince Jin will not be weird."
Chu Yunfei snorted slightly and said, "Since you have recognized us, do you still have to guard the palace gate to prevent us from entering?"
He couldn't help but feel a little unhappy when he heard the officer call him Prince Jin, but he never called him Prince. He knew that this guy was Yang Yong's subordinate again.
The officer surnamed Li hurriedly said: "Yes, Prince Jin, the general has sent someone to deliver the message. I believe I will get back to you right away! I hope Prince Jin will take a moment."
Chu Yunfei frowned slightly and said coldly: "When we brothers and sisters come back to offer incense and kowtow to our father, do you still need to reply? Is it possible that we brothers and sisters should show some filial piety. This is human nature.
Your master is not satisfied?"
The officer surnamed Li hurriedly said: "Prince Jin, what are you talking about? How dare we block your way? There are orders from above, and we, as subordinates, do not dare to disobey."
Yang Su, who was standing by, couldn't help but take two steps forward and shouted: "Fart! You bitch, where did you get such a random fate? The late emperor passed away, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Princess Lanling came back to attend the funeral. Is there anyone who dares to do so?"
Can we stop it? Filial piety is the road of human ethics! I would like to see who is blind enough to deny His Highness the Crown Prince entry?"
Saying that, Yang Su made a move to rush inside.
At this moment, I heard voices coming from inside, and then several people walked out. The first one was Yang Yong.
Yang Yong's eyes were red, and he must have cried a lot. Chu Yunfei raised his head and glanced at him, but his eyes were cold.
Yang Yong said: "It turns out that the Duke of Yue has arrived. Lanling, you are here too."
He had clearly seen Chu Yunfei, but he pretended not to see it and didn't know what it meant.
Chu Yunfei endured it, but Lan Ling said anxiously: "Brother, where is the mother? Daddy, where is daddy's body?"
As he said this, Lan Ling couldn't help crying again.
Yang Yong glared at Chu Yunfei and then said: "Lanling, the queen mother is inside, and the father's body is also inside."
Lan Ling took a few steps forward and was about to go inside. Chu Yunfei followed her and walked towards the palace.
Yang Yong suddenly stretched out his hand to stop Chu Yunfei and said: "You can't go in!"
