Dugu Shaotang was in a hurry all the way, guessing randomly, and when he arrived at the west city gate, the lights on the city tower were bright, and the defenders were waiting with torches. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Dugu Shaotang climbed the city tower and looked down, only to see that the torches were like a forest in the night, almost illuminating half of the sky. The blackened figure under the torch stretched into the distance, and it was impossible to see how many people and horses there were.

Seeing that the soldiers and horses under the city had no intention of attacking, Dugu Shaotang put his mind at ease and thought that it was not the enemy army.

In front of the team, a person was wearing a bright light armor, shining with silver light, and the cold light was shining.

He rode a tall horse, carrying a long Mo knife at his waist, and his upper body was as straight as a pine.

Dugu Shaotang shouted at the man, "Who is here?"

The man raised his head on his horse, and with one hand he moved, one of the servants approached with a torch.

Under the light of the fire, a face is beautiful and impressive, but his age is extremely young, but he looks like he is fifteen or sixteen years old.

The little guy who was leading the horse beside him raised his head and said to Dugu Shaotang: "His Royal Highness King Ning is coming, don't open the city gate soon." ”

Dugu Shaotang had seen the young King Ning when he was in the capital, and the little guy immediately recognized the person as soon as he said this, although he had grown up, but the outline of his childhood was still there, and it was indeed Xiao Ke, the king of Ning.

He immediately rushed to the city downstairs and saluted with his fists, and ordered: "Open the city gate." ”

King Ning suddenly appeared in Benzhou in the middle of the night, and led a large number of people, so why he came, he didn't ask.

King Ning is the younger brother of the crown prince, the age difference between the two is nearly 20 years, although they are brothers, they are like father and son.

What Dugu Shaotang was puzzled about was where did King Ning transfer the soldiers from? He was still young and had no experience in leading troops, how did he persuade those slippery guys in the court to let him lead troops out?

While thinking about it, the city gate over there had been wide open, and more than twenty horses came in, and it was Xiao Ke, the king of Ning, who was in front of him. Xiao Ke had a horse body behind him, followed by two generals, but these two Dugu Shaotang knew each other, it was Han Qing who was the left guard of the prince's prison gate and Leng Xiu of the right guard of the prince's inner guard.

Dugu Shaotang suddenly realized that it was the sixth rate of the East Palace. Thinking that the prince went on the expedition to prevent a change in the capital division, he left his descendants and handed them over to King Ning in case of emergency.

Dugu Shaotang wanted to formally greet the ceremony, but Xiao Ke said condescendingly on the horse: "No courtesy, take this king to see Yang Wu." ”

Dugu Shaotang's series of questions had been blocked before he could exit, so he had to turn over and make a gesture of please.

Since King Ning is a member of the crown prince's line, he is naturally not afraid that he knows that he controls the Jiedu envoy, so he explained to him the current situation in Benzhou on the way.

Xiao Ke nodded and said, "The governor really didn't live up to the trust of the imperial brother. ”

Only this sentence, Dugu Shaotang knew about his secret relationship with the prince, and King Ning knew about it.

The two rode straight into the Jiedu Envoy's mansion, and when they stepped into the lobby, Yang Wu was still sitting on the previous chair, glaring at Gao Xiaogong angrily, and when he saw someone coming in, he scolded Dugu Shaotang angrily: "I am a feudal official of the imperial court, how dare you ...... me like this"

Xiao Ke looked at Dugu Shaotang, "This is Yang Wu?"

"Back to the prince, it is Yang Shijun. Dugu Shaotang replied.

As his voice fell, he heard a sharp sound of gold and iron rubbing, and the cold light flashed in front of him, drawing a silver arc. Before he could react, this silver arc had already crossed Yang Wu's neck, and Yang Wu's big head rolled on the ground.

This series of actions was faster than lightning, and he didn't even see how Xiao Ke deceived Yang Wu's side.

At this moment, the first thought that flashed in Dugu Shaotang's heart was actually sighing, King Ning's fast skills are worthy of being praised from childhood to adulthood as a martial arts wizard.

Only then did he react, and he was stunned with Gao Xiaogong, this King Ning acted really neatly.

Before the two of them closed their mouths, Xiao Ke said coldly: "Tomorrow morning, at three o'clock in the morning, we will leave the camp and set off for Wudi." ”

After saying that, he strode out, turned over his horse, and galloped out.

Dugu Shaotang and Gao Xiaogong looked at each other, and it took a while to come back to their senses.

Gao Xiaogong smacked his lips, "This little prince is really bold, there is no imperial order, a feudal official will kill him if he says to kill!"

After all, the emperor is only critically ill, and he is not sure if he can survive it.

How did they know that Xiao Ke privately led the army to aid the prince, but was stopped by Shang Shucen of the Ministry of War, Xiao Ke actually slashed Cen without saying a word.

Then all the way east, the imperial court sent three people to chase and intercept, but they were all beheaded by Xiao Ke.

Therefore, if he kills the festival envoy again, Xiao Ke has no burden in his heart.

Dugu Shaotang thought for a moment and nodded slowly: "It seems that the emperor's illness is not optimistic. ”

King Ning dared to kill Yang Wu without hesitation, I am afraid that the emperor has no possibility of returning.

If the crown prince can get out of trouble and return to Kyoto to ascend the throne smoothly, Yang Wu's Gongwang party will naturally be killed. If the crown prince is unfortunately killed, King Gong and King Ning will compete for the throne, as a solid backing for King Gong, Yang Wu must also die.

Both left and right are dead, it is better to kill now, lest his existence make some generals hopeful.

Although they got along for a short time, Dugu Shaotang could see that although this King Ning was silent, he acted very decisively.

After killing someone, the little king of Yama patted his ass and left, and the mess had to be cleaned up by Dugu Shaotang.

Originally, he was just detaining people, and now he can only do nothing.

King Ning didn't have much time left for him, so he resigned himself to ordering everyone one by one to drag Yang Wu's descendants out and kill them, and his family members were put in prison together with Yang Wu's family.

The rest of the time can be used to integrate the Benshu army and resend his cronies to fill the lack of slain generals.

After doing all this, the sky was already bright, and when it came to Xiao Ke's appointed time, he didn't care about returning home, so he hurriedly led his troops and set off. Mrs. Zuo and her daughter are not in the house, and the two sons are in the army, so it doesn't matter if they return to the house or not.

***********************************************************************

On that day, Dugu Weiwei and Shen and his party went out of the boundary of Bianzhou, and traveled about sixty or seventy miles to the west, and it was almost dusk, but the team suddenly turned south and headed towards the boundary of Xuzhou.

Shen rode in a carriage with Qin and Gao Yanyan. Gao Yanyan is already eleven years old, leaning on Qin's body and pretending to sleep.

The three of them sat in the carriage and did not notice that they had changed their course halfway, until the sky gradually darkened, Shen lifted the curtains, looked into the distance, and found that the sunset between the mountains on the right stained the tips of the mountains red, which was extremely magnificent and magnificent.

Shen didn't care about it at the time, until he put down the curtain and leaned back on the pillow, and then suddenly said, "It's not right!"

Qin gave her a bluff and hurriedly asked the reason. Shen said: "Luozhou is in the west of Benzhou, we should be walking in the direction of the sunset, but now the sunset is on the right hand, we are heading south." ”

Shen Shi suddenly lifted the curtains again and called: "----- from the east"

Liang Donglai turned around and saw the look on Shen's face, answered but didn't rush over, and said to Dugu Weiwei, who was riding a pony and dressed in men's clothes: "Miss, Madame should have found out." ”
