It's early morning, and it's a new day.

Today, the street is surprisingly deserted, and the people on the main road already know that the fourth prince Ji Huai is going to lead troops into the city to offer prisoners to the Taimiao, and the people along the street want to use loess to cushion the road, and clear water to open the street. And the main street shall be erected with colored gates.

The four princes want to enter the city from the east gate, and the east of the city is a place where the nobles gather, and it is not difficult to see that the four princes are doing this for the noble family.

There are a lot of team members gathered in the Inspectorate of the Xicheng Branch of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, and since the city gate has not yet been opened, they don't have to rush to the streets to be on duty. Originally, for today's major event, the inspectorates in each urban area were responsible for maintaining order. Although Xicheng has nothing to do with the event, it is also on duty.

Following Lin Yue, Vice President Fang Xiang inherited the main position, while Yin Cheng, the captain of the first team of inspectors, was promoted to vice president, and He Qizhi, the captain of the second team, completely resigned and went home for treatment. Gui Nansong, as the captain of the third team and a member of the mutual aid association, did not seek development, but instead hugged the beauty and married the girl who originally managed the documents, and the two also got married a month ago.

Gui Nansong, who had been waiting in the courtyard for a long time, saw Vice President Yin Cheng coming, so he stepped forward and asked, "Vice President, is there anything else you haven't explained when you call us over?"

Yin Cheng also looked puzzled: "I don't know, I suddenly asked for a meeting early in the morning last night." ”

Gui Nansong felt that something was wrong, for today's matter, the president and vice president and the captain of the third team had already held a meeting yesterday, even if there was a change today, there was no need to call everyone.

Seeing that Dean Fang Xiang also came in slowly at this time, still holding a cigarette wrapped in a roll of paper in his mouth, the two stepped forward to ask the question just now, Fang Xiang also frowned: "I don't know, this meeting was notified by Lin Shi." ”

Lin Shi is the copywriting department of their top boss Jia Zhengtai, and it stands to reason that he should not participate in the daily work of the Inspectorate, Fang Xiang only said that Jia Zhengtai has something to say to a few leaders, and now there are still many people who have been notified.

In an instant, the three of them all found out that something was wrong, there were people from the three inspection teams here, but the people from the three teams were also not even. Gui Nansong immediately summoned a subordinate to inquire in detail, and found that it was a member of his team who called them to come to the meeting, but the team member was not at the scene. After Yin Cheng's total, most of the people who have joined in the past year are not there, except for these six or seven people, everyone else is there.

Before they could do any more checking, suddenly a group of people rushed in, all of them in plain clothes, leather armor, long swords and spears, and a row led by crossbow arrows. Surround the entire Inspectorate.

These people don't dress like officials and soldiers, if they don't have leather armor on their bodies and a yellow scarf around their necks, they are no different from ordinary people.

Fang Xiang said, "Who are you? How dare you attack the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses!?"

"Dean Fang doesn't need to be angry. A figure stood up, and everyone couldn't help but be surprised, this was another new captain who had been promoted for less than half a year.

Yin Cheng asked, "Zhu Xiushi, what do you mean by this!?

Zhu Xiushi said: "I'm sorry brothers, there may be a big incident in the capital today, in order not to hurt you, please hand over your weapons and stay in the yamen to rest, and I will lead the team on duty today." ”

Yin Cheng said angrily: "Do you want to make trouble?"

Zhu Xiushi said: "The vice president is serious, there are other people in the chaos, and we are ordered to serve the king, but the sword has no eyes on the battlefield, so in order to avoid accidental injury, I also ask you to cooperate with us." As he spoke, more than 20 crossbows were aimed at the people in the courtyard.

Now that most of the inspectorate is here, it may not be impossible to rush, but in this way, half of the casualties will be killed or wounded, and the surrounding Yellow Turban henchmen will besiege the inspectorate together, and I am afraid that the whole army will be wiped out.

Although Fang Xiang, Yin Cheng, Gui Nansong and others have high cultivation, they don't dare to rush out in the face of such a situation, and they are so concerned about dealing with a small Xicheng Inspectorate, how powerful should the entire capital be?

Fang Xiang didn't think about it, so he told everyone to lay down their weapons.

……

There are several places in the capital where the same thing is repeated.

The third prince did not stay in the palace last night, but went to Xiangguo Zuo Chengming's mansion, and Zuo Zhixiang, the son of Xiangguo's mansion, was accompanying him. After a while, Cheng Ji, the confidant of the third prince Ji Shi: "Your Highness, Your Highness, the big thing is decided." ”

Ji Shi was also obviously relieved when he heard this, it seems that the first step of the plan has been completed.

Just now, his subordinates had unknowingly taken over the defense of the entire capital. Although the third prince is not as focused on the development of military positions as the fourth prince, in a place like the capital, where the nobles are intertwined, many generals are from families, and they have been trying their best to suppress the four princes in the past. Ji Shi did not forget to give Ji Huai eye medicine while fleeing back in embarrassment, and some of the remaining diehards were either controlled or killed this morning.

The third prince didn't dare to do it last night, lest he leak the news, because this move was not only aimed at the fourth prince, but also for the next step, after all, he wanted to kill his own brother, and this matter was not instructed by the king.

in the royal palace

Chai Shengnan deployed the female soldiers of the Kuizi Banner to prepare for battle, whether it was her deputy Ruan Yu or the current leader of the Kuizi Banner, Chang Xiu, they also felt a trace of solemnity.

Today's weather is a little gloomy and cold, the sky is pressed with dark clouds and no sunlight, Chai Shengnan is also very helpless about his current situation, there are still 50,000 soldiers and horses in the capital, but they have been infiltrated by the family, not to mention the combat power, anyway, he is not in command, and under his direct leadership is 300 female soldiers of the Kuizi Banner and more than 3,000 black-clothed guards of the palace. If there is really any accident, there is no way to deal with it with his current six success powers.

Chai Shengnan also thought about contacting Master Taishi Demon Yunhai, but it is estimated that his old man will not care about this matter, the third prince, the fourth prince, it is not a problem for him who is on the throne.

I just hope that today's mess is not too serious.

……

As the gate of the capital slowly opened, the fourth prince Ji Huai walked into the city with his lieutenant Jiang Zhong and a thousand guards.

However, the general soldiers who came to support the four princes did not enter the city, and after a thousand men and horses entered the city, the city gate was slowly closed again. Ji Huai glanced coldly at the tall city wall behind him and smiled disdainfully.

Since yesterday, when his troops came to the city, the capital has not opened the city gate, and now let himself in, if the city gate is not closed, presumably those big men are not willing to wait for the tens of thousands of troops to enter the city.

Ji Huai was not worried about his own safety, and the third brother's army was subdued by himself outside the city. The tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in Chengnei can be said to be the military and the family share the world, and there are both the third prince and the fourth prince among these people, and there will be no problem with Chai Shengnan in the palace. After all, the father and son are the same, and the king has a deep dissatisfaction with the fourth prince, but it has not yet reached the point of killing.

There were no pedestrians on the wide street, and Deputy Marshal Jiang Zhongce immediately stepped forward and said closely: "Your Highness, something is wrong with the situation. "The sacrifice of prisoners in the Taimiao Temple is a major event, and it is understandable to regulate the pedestrians and the people, but it would be strange to say that there are not a single people on both sides of the long street.

Ji Huai also found out that something was wrong, and was about to stop the whole army, when he was making observations, suddenly a strong sense of oppression came, and the strength in his body seemed to be suppressed by most of it.

At the same moment, Chai Shengnan in the palace, several people in the inspectorate, lacquer carving Ling in Lin Yue's small courtyard, and masters in all corners of the capital were all inexplicably pressured, and those with weak skills could not be used directly.

And at this moment, a flying light smashed into the guard, and there was a random boom. More than a dozen people were killed when he landed, and Ji Huai's face changed drastically: "It's artillery! Quickly withdraw ......"

In the originally deserted streets, many samurai wearing yellow scarves and leather armor suddenly appeared in front and back, and these people were far more skilled than their tattered equipment.

There was also a roar from the sky that was already overpowering the clouds, and it seemed that God was helping the third prince's side.

Tens of thousands of family armed forces, plus 10,000 defenders of the capital, first surrounded the fourth prince Ji Huai, and then the rest was to attack the palace.

Others don't know what's going on, Chai Shengnan understands very well, someone has launched the improved version of the Beijing's Wanli Fengling Array, which is a big killing move for the guards of the capital, not only the people outside are not killed by the formation, but even the people in the capital will be greatly restricted from cultivating, that is, they are afraid that the monks or monsters will make trouble in the capital, and the Taishi Demon Yunhai will personally preside over the rearrangement of the Wanli Fengling of the Ma family in the northern Xinjiang, whether it is a master or a monk, even if it is a big demon under this formation, it will lose its advantage and be killed alive by the defenders of the capital.

This time it was only a contradiction within the royal family, far from the time to launch this formation, who started it? This formation is going to be launched, and the cost is very high!

Chai Shengnan immediately said to the king: "Your Majesty, the situation is not right, please return to the palace immediately?"

The king didn't know that Dongcheng had already started a big battle, and he was leading a hundred officials to greet the team of the fourth prince Ji Huai's 'triumphant' at the gate of the palace, and frowned when he heard this: "What does the Qing family mean by this?"

The king himself also has some cultivation, but after inheriting the throne, he has worked state affairs and pampered himself, and these years have already fallen, and when the spirit of Wanli was launched just now, he was just a block in his heart, but there is nothing good about it recently, and his own son brought a large army to threaten him, is there anything more depressed than this? So he doesn't care.

This formation has less effect on people with lower cultivation, but Chai Shengnan is different, even if there are only sixty percent of cultivation left, he is still a few masters in the capital, so he decided to protect the king and retreat at the first time.

Chai Shengnan said: "King, someone has activated the great array of defending the city without authorization! Hurry back to the palace and close the palace gate, it will be too late!!"

The king was also surprised, he didn't understand what the Ten Thousand Miles Sealing Spirit was, but he understood that after every king ascended the throne, the Demon Cloud Sea would tell some things, which was also one of them.

Just like the black-clad warriors in the royal palace, it is not allowed to be activated without a royal order, because once it is activated, it means that it is the most critical juncture. In order to avoid suspicion, even the sea of demon clouds resigned the right to start. So no matter what happens after that, the person who started it now is already considered a rebellion.

Just as everyone retreated into the palace, thousands of Yellow Turban Armor soldiers came to the palace.
