Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Seven Generals

"Stop!" Seeing someone galloping in the dark night, Li Hongsheng stopped in the middle of the road.

This time in Beijing, Li Hongsheng has been uneasy in his heart, in the years they have been on the border, the emperors of the two dynasties have not summoned him to Beijing, which shows that it is the trust in his seven people.

In Li Hongsheng's heart, the old emperor is his reborn parents, if there is no old emperor, I am afraid that several of them will starve to death on the streets.

After the death of the old emperor, the little emperor was also very fond of himself, not only giving the greatest favor, but also commensurate the seven of them as brothers.

It is incumbent upon him to garrison the frontier for his brother.

But this time, when he summoned himself to Beijing, Li Hongsheng always felt that there was something strange in it.

This time, it was not the little eunuch next to the emperor who delivered the decree, but a person he had never seen before.

From time to time, this person revealed a sense of superiority, and his intention was to immediately put down all military affairs in his hands and enter Beijing immediately.

Along the way, Li Hongsheng was very uneasy.

On the way to the capital, he met six of his other brothers.

All six of them felt the same way.

According to the law of the Great Qi State, the general of the border could not carry more than 300 personal soldiers with him when he entered the capital, and Li Hongsheng surrounded and showed his sincerity and waited for more than a dozen entourages, and rushed back from the distant frontier.

He also wanted to meet his younger brother of the emperor.

However, just ten miles away from the capital, when a few of them stopped to rest, they met a person running rapidly in the dark night.

This person is Chen Fan.

Chen Fan stopped and carefully looked at this man with a frosty face, this man was in his forties, with dark skin, riding on horseback, and the whole person showed a solemn atmosphere.

Chen Fan didn't dare to delay, he didn't know whether the person blocking the road was friend or foe, so he had to stop and see the situation.

"Who are you? Why did you come out of the capital in the middle of the night?" Li Hongsheng asked Chen Fan.

"I'm just an ordinary little people, my daughter-in-law is sick and in urgent need of medicinal herbs, so I have to go out of the city to collect some medicinal herbs!" Chen Fan didn't dare to say what he thought, so he had to make up a reason casually.

"Hehe, you can't lie, where is you like this, carrying a knife on your back? I see that you are clearly a thief!"

Chen Fan saw that the matter was not easy to handle, so he had to pull out the knife and stare at the seven people vigilantly.

"Let's be honest, we're not just seven people, look at your back!"

Chen Fan glanced behind him, this time, his scalp was a little numb, behind him, there was a row of soldiers, who were opening their crossbow arrows, and under the moonlight at night, the arrows were glowing with blue light.

These crossbow arrows are definitely coated with poison!

Chen Fan could even smell the choking smell of the poison on the arrow.

"In front of our seven brothers, I think you still don't have a fluke mentality, just tell the truth!"

Chen Fan didn't want to die for this country at all, even if they were controlled by the Spring and Autumn Eight Gates, what could they do?

Thinking of this, Chen Fan took out the jade pendant from his arms, and then said, "I was ordered to intercept people, and the emperor told me to prevent them from entering Beijing!"

Chen Fan didn't say anything about the following things, about the Tiger Fu, about the transfer of troops, he was afraid that this group of people were all from the Spring and Autumn Eight Gates!

After seeing this jade pendant, Li Hongsheng's eyes lit up, because he was most familiar with this jade pendant, there was an exact same thing on his body, and his six brothers had this jade pendant just like him.

However, the only strange thing is that this jade pendant should have been brought to the mausoleum with the death of the old emperor, how could this young man appear.

"Tell me, where did you get this thing?" Li Hongsheng couldn't bear it, if the emperor's things were stolen or something happened to the emperor's tomb?

They didn't go to the capital, because tonight, the situation in the capital was a little wrong, very quiet, and the quiet was a little scary.

"The old emperor gave it to me, what's wrong?"

"Impossible, His Majesty the Emperor has already died, and now that the crown prince is in power, how can it appear in your hands?" Li Hongsheng lowered his voice and asked in a low voice.

This jade pendant is a royal secret, how could it appear in Chen Fan's hands?

Hearing this, Chen Fan understood that the seven people in front of him should be the seven people he was looking for.

"You came back from the frontier?" Chen Fan asked tentatively.

"That's right, Lao Tzu is the Metropolitan Governor of Fancheng, Li Hongsheng!"

Chen Fan involuntarily took three steps back, and Li Hongsheng's strength was only higher than himself.

"The seven of you are the seven generals sent to the frontier by His Majesty the Old Emperor, right?" asked Chen Fan.

"Yes, how do you know about the seven of us entering Beijing?"

Li Hongsheng and the seven people didn't understand that this Chen Fan, who was dressed as an ordinary person, could even recognize the seven of them!

"It's good to find you, the emperor wants me to give you this jade pendant, so that you don't enter the capital!" As soon as Chen Fan's words were finished, he heard the sound of disturbance and chaos in the capital, and some places were still in flames.

"It seems that they did it!" Chen Fan said to himself.

"What's going on? What happened in the capital?" Li Hongsheng was in a hurry now, he couldn't watch his capital be destroyed.

"There is one thing for me to tell you, the old emperor is not dead, the national teacher is not dead, the current situation is that the little emperor has been put under house arrest, and any will issued is done under the persecution of others, and now these people have taken control of the capital, and they are waiting for you to enter the capital, and then catch them all!" Chen Fan told the seven people what he knew.

Although the current situation is that these seven people will be suspicious and dare not make up their minds directly, after all, these things are too terrifying.

The two people who have been dead for thirty years are still alive, and the current little emperor has also disappeared, so who are the people in the city?

"The old emperor asked me to hand this over to you, and let you go to the Gyeonggi garrison to transfer troops and go back to rescue the driver!" Chen Fan took out the tiger talisman, and this tiger talisman was in one place, and Li Hongsheng completely believed Chen Fan's words.

Li Hongsheng took the tiger talisman and said to the remaining six people: "Old Seven, you take these personal soldiers of ours and quickly rush to the city gate, you six, follow me to transfer troops!"

Li Hongsheng is worthy of being a general who has been leading troops abroad, and he made arrangements in the shortest possible time, and then rode his horse to the Gyeonggi garrison camp.
