Chapter 234: Praying Mantis Catches Cicadas
If it's just counting others, it's nothing.
The problem is that Li Zhao even counts himself, and such an unscrupulous person for the sake of the result is really a bit scary.
What is said that the son of a good daughter does not sit in the court?
"Your Highness, are there any of you guarding the city gate?" Looking at the city wall that was getting closer, Chen Jingle asked.
Li Zhao took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, this king knows what you are thinking, one of the guards at the city gate is indeed this king's person." It's just that...... If it's really someone from that guy's faction, he should take this into account, so don't get your hopes up too much. β
Chen Jingle nodded: "Well, I understand!"
Indeed, there is no reason why the other party will not take this into account, and it is likely that the gate keeper has been bought.
But Chen Jingle is not worried.
Li Zhao laughed: "It's really not good, I can only ask Brother Qin to help this king break through again! As long as we can return to King Qin's Mansion and send out the order, the winning side is still on our side!"
Now he can only rely on Chen Jingle, and now he has even changed his title to show his closeness and trust. If it weren't for Chen Jingle, he would have died under the assassin's sword.
Chen Jingle nodded: "Your Highness, rest assured, as long as it is not the Great Grandmaster, Qin can protect both of you and me." β
From the moment the assassin appeared, the two sides officially entered a situation of endless death, and Chen Jingle did not dare to relax in the slightest.
What he worries about is whether the other party has any follow-up means to use.
"It's up to you!"
Li Zhao, who was guaranteed by Chen Jingle, quietly breathed a sigh of relief, and then a flame called ambition ignited in his eyes.
Li Ji, since you chose to do it first, then don't blame me, who is ruthless as a younger brother!
At a lightning speed, the two rushed to the entrance of the city gate.
Sure enough, the defense at the city gate was strengthened, and the checkpoints were heavy, and the people who entered the city were stopped one by one for interrogation.
Chen Jingle rushed up directly with Li Zhao.
"I'm Li Zhao, the king of Qin, get out of the way!" Li Zhao shouted from afar.
The people who were queuing up to enter the city hurriedly flashed a way, but several officers and soldiers guarding the city were stunned, and even after hearing this, their faces were happy.
One of the lieutenants shouted and rushed up: "Stop them. β
The prince has an order, if anyone can capture the king of Qin, the official will be promoted to three levels, and the reward will be 1,000 taels!
If you are lucky enough to catch King Qin, wouldn't it be ...... I can't help but be excited when I think about it.
However, except for a few people, the rest of the officers and soldiers defending the city are all looking at me and I look at you, and they hesitated.
"Chen Guang, what are you doing!" another lieutenant rushed out of the city and shouted.
However, the captain named Chen Guang didn't hear it, and sneered and pounced on Li Zhao with a knife.
"Look for death!"
Chen Jingle saw the captain who rushed up with a knife for the first time, his brows furrowed slightly, and his momentum did not decrease.
The figures of the two sides staggered, the sword flashed, and the next moment, the other party's eyes widened, covering his neck and unwilling to fall.
With a clang, the sound of landing is terrifying.
The other lieutenant was probably Li Zhao's person, and after seeing Chen Jingle do it, he directly pulled out his knife and cut down the two soldiers who wanted to rush up, and roared loudly: "His Royal Highness King Qin is here, I see who dares to do it!"
When he roared like this, he immediately shocked the other creeps who were about to move.
"It seems that it is really His Royal Highness King Qin......"
"What the hell is going on?"
"Captain Chen is dead......
The small soldiers guarding the city gate were in disarray.
The captain hurriedly saluted: "The lowly Mahan has seen His Royal Highness the King of Qin!"
Seeing that the situation was temporarily under control, Li Zhao breathed a sigh of relief, and just wanted to say something, when suddenly two extremely powerful breaths came from a distance, and they collided fiercely, making people palpitate.
One of them is from the Sword Saint Tang Jue, and the other has never been seen, but it reveals a strange aura.
Chen Jingle and Li Zhao were both shocked and looked at each other.
What made them even more uneasy was that these two breaths came from inside the city.
Could it be that a master at the level of a great grandmaster has forced his way into the palace?
Li Zhao's face was a little ugly: "It's the Sword Saint Lord who is fighting with the people of the Demon Gate." β
Chen Jingle frowned, this is not the breath of the demon queen, could it be the evil emperor?
Li Zhao immediately decided: "Ma Han, you immediately take someone to the Nanya military camp to find the general Song Qiuming and tell him to get ready, just say that this king said it." Now that this matter is done, I will promise you a five-grade guerrilla general!"
Ma Han struck a fierce spirit, trembling with excitement: "Yes!
The five-rank guerrilla general means that he can step into the ranks of middle-level military attachΓ©s in one step. He is now just a captain of the Eighth Rank Xuanjie, and he has directly crossed the fifth level, and his promotion speed is faster than flying.
The little soldiers next to him, their eyes were hotter and hotter, envious and jealous.
"Zhang San, Li Si, Wang Wu, the three of you are with me, and the others guard the city gate!"
Ma Han shouted, rode off directly, 100,000 was in a hurry, and several subordinates behind him hurriedly ran.
"As for the Praetorian Guard camp in Beiya, Yang Shaobao needs to go out, but fortunately he is still in the capital. Brother Qin, let's go back to the Qin Palace!" Li Zhao said hurriedly.
The commander of the Northern Ya Praetorian Guard was promoted by Yang Zhong, and he was regarded as a member of the Qin Dynasty.
The crown prince also has soldiers and horses, but compared to the king of Qin, it is far away.
The most important thing now is to make all preparations and precautions, so as not to be caught off guard by the enemy, the Qin Wangfu is his base camp, and all decisions need to be issued from the Qin Wangfu.
Chen Jingle didn't dare to delay, grabbed Li Zhao and started to soar.
Back in the palace of the king of Qin, Li Zhao learned another bombshell news: the crown prince transferred 5,000 people from the imperial guards into the palace, called defending the imperial city.
In the council room, the atmosphere was a little depressing, everyone knew what it meant, but no one dared to speak first.
After a long time, Li Zhao asked in a dry tone: "Do you have a good plan?"
"Your Highness, the minister thinks that you might as well wait. Military advisor Xu Wenhe gritted his teeth and stood up and said.
"Do you know what you're talking about?" Li Zhao stared at him with a cold look in his eyes.
Xu Wenhe went out and said highly: "The minister is very clear, and he also knows what the consequences will be if he does not send troops immediately. But, isn't this exactly what we want? If we can help His Highness succeed, the minister is willing to bear this infamy!"
Li Zhao didn't look at him, but looked at Yang Zhong: "Notify the Praetorian Guards to assemble, and then send someone to tell Song Qiuming that he should lead his troops into the city to maintain order, and those who dare to take the opportunity to make trouble will be killed!"
"Your Highness, think twice!"
Xu Wenhe said eagerly: "At this time, the news that the prince led troops to occupy the imperial city has not yet spread, and by doing so, we are undoubtedly pushing ourselves to the forefront." β
Chen Jingle nodded secretly, if he rashly sent troops, the division would be unknown, and it would be easy to be truthful.
Occupying the moral high ground is the right choice.
Li Zhao took a deep breath and closed his eyes: "From gathering soldiers and horses to breaking the city, it also takes time. β
The subtext is already clear.
