Chapter Eighty-Four: A Rake of Reversal
Lin Ying and Lian Yang looked at the monstrous fire in the imperial city, and they both sighed, and Lian Yang said leisurely: "Zhuge that old guy, I'm afraid I didn't expect that my palace would be so lively one day until I died." ”
Lin Ying said: "Your Majesty is also unknown, and the cause of Your Majesty's death has not been investigated. ”
Lian Yang said: "The cause of Your Majesty's death will naturally surface when the battle for the throne is over, and the old man is also very curious." However, it is better to solve the current matter first. ”
Lin Ying nodded and left the small courtyard with Lian Yang.
In the palace, the four princes slaughtered Zhuge Mo's subordinates, the entire palace was dyed bright red, the four princes couldn't wait for the throne he had dreamed of for a long time, and above the main hall, a group of ministers prostrated themselves and shouted: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"
The fourth prince laughed, stroked the armrests on the dragon chair with both hands, and said, "Treat my third emperor brother to the law, this Yuexi Kingdom will be ours! ”
At this time, the third prince sat in his mansion, watching a large number of soldiers march from the palace towards his mansion, and knew that at this time, the fourth prince was already dispatching people to solve himself. Shaking his head slightly, he slowly poured himself a cup of tea, and said to himself: "I often want to be quiet in the forest, but the wind is uneasy." ”
Outside the courtyard, the voice of the fourth prince came: "Third Emperor Brother, if you don't tie your hands and arrest you, maybe the Imperial Brother is merciful in my heart, and I can still leave a prince for the Imperial Brother, it is better to die than to live." ”
The third prince put down the teacup in his hand and said slowly: "Brother Emperor, why are you so sure that you have won? The world is impermanent, and there are many variables!"
The fourth prince laughed and said: "The imperial brother naturally understands in his heart, there are hundreds of thousands of people under my command, and now they are all in this Yuexi City, just take me with an order, and the subversion of the entire dynasty is just a matter of overthrowing, why should the imperial brother struggle?"
The third prince smiled: "It seems that all your men and horses are in this capital." That's going to be easy, but I'm a little worried. ”
When the fourth prince heard his words, he suddenly felt a crisis in his heart, and a trace of indescribable feeling was in his heart, at this time he didn't dare to hesitate too much, under an order, the soldiers under his command rushed into the mansion of the third prince, and the fourth prince followed, and ordered his soldiers to capture the third prince, looking at the calm face of the third prince, the fourth prince smiled and said: "Third brother, no matter how many means you have, now you can fall into my hands, as long as you die, no matter how much you prepare, this throne is mine!"
The third prince looked at the imperial brother in front of him, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a very mocking smile, and said: "Fourth brother, fourth brother, why don't you understand? Since I dare to let you into Yuexi City, naturally there must be a way to deal with you, aren't you like a turtle in an urn in this Yuexi City?"
The four princes were furious and shouted angrily: "As long as you die, everything will be over!" As he spoke, the long sword in his hand mercilessly cut off the heads of the three princes, and with a plop, a huge grass ball rolled from the body of the third prince to the ground, and the body of the third prince quickly turned into a straw man of equal size.
The fourth prince looked at the straw man in front of him with an extremely ugly face, and said hatefully: "Wood Spirit incarnation, damn Zhuge Jin! When I catch you, I will see how you pretend to be a ghost again!" Looking at the slightly messy mansion of the third prince, the fourth prince roared and ordered the entire mansion to be destroyed, stepped out of the gate of the mansion, turned his head to look at the burning mansion, and said coldly: "Zhuge Jin, I see what great ability you have to make my hundreds of thousands of people go up in smoke!"
On the city wall, Zhuge Jin greeted Lin Ying and Liao Yang who came over, and said gratefully: "Thank you two generals for your great help! If the little sister succeeds in ascending the throne, I will ask the little sister to take credit for the two and add officials to the knighthood." ”
Liao Yang stroked his beard and said with a smile: "His Royal Highness the Third Prince is polite, protecting the country and the country is within the responsibility of our courtiers, since His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince wants to rebel, we naturally can't stand idly by." ”
Lin Ying looked at the soldiers gradually gathering in the city, and said with some concern: "There are too many soldiers in the hands of the four princes, if we go head-to-head, I'm afraid our chances of winning are not high." ”
Liao Yang also nodded, he has guarded Yuexi City for many years, and he knows the strength of the entire Yuexi City Guards, if there are only 100,000 rebels, Liao Yang may be able to easily solve it with the army, but the current army is far more than 100,000 horses, and the Dragoon Army will not pay attention to the battle between them, the Dragoon Army will only be loyal to those who have ascended the throne.
On the battlefield, time waits for no one, at this time, the four princes have integrated the army under their command, and launched a charge towards the three princes and others, the power of hundreds of thousands of troops is like a rainbow, not to mention, every soldier under the command of the four princes knows very well that as long as their side loses, there are only two outcomes, exile or death. Because of this, the soldiers under the four princes all risked their lives.
Lin Ying and Liao Yang looked solemn, on the city wall, a huge machine crossbow was transferred to the city, each crossbow arrow will take away the life of a soldier, even if it is a high-level existence, it is unavoidable, along with the crossbow arrows, there is an overwhelming rain of arrows.
However, no matter how strong the resistance of the three princes' side was, the terrifying numerical base of the four princes' side produced an overwhelming advantage, and one by one the barriers formed by the condensation of spiritual power blocked the head of the army, and the rain of arrows instantly lost its effect.
Liao Yang frowned, if the men and horses of the four princes were allowed to rush to the city to fight with them, I am afraid that they would be more auspicious! The third prince on the side also saw that the current situation was not good, and said with a smile: "The two generals don't have to worry, I still have a way." As he spoke, he saw Zhuge Jin take out a bamboo flute from his cuff, put it to his mouth and blew it.
The melodious flute suddenly appeared on this battlefield, and just when Lin Ying and Liao Yang didn't know why, one after another figures actually floated up from all over the place, and there were nearly a thousand people. Lin Ying and Liao Yang were shocked, you must know that if you want to soar freely in the sky, you must at least have Zhan Zu in your own strength, when will these three princes be able to meet so many capable people!
Lin Ying looked carefully, and indeed found that the light of the elements was flashing around these people, and he suddenly said, "I'm afraid these people are the members of the Mage Guild." ”
Zhuge Jin said with a smile: "General Lin has good eyesight, yes, these people are the people I invited from the Mage Guild to assist us. ”
Liao Yang and Lin Ying glanced at each other, and couldn't help but have some doubts in their hearts, you must know that no matter when, the two forces of the Mage Guild and the Mercenary House will never interfere in such matters as national change, and just a few small profits and small favors may not be able to invite so many mages, not to mention that the Mage Guild is one of the organizations that hide the treasures of the world.
Zhuge Jin continued: "The two generals don't need to be suspicious, I have always been friendly with the Mage Guild, and there are many interests involved in private, so they will help." ”
Liao Yang and Lin Ying nodded, this is not the time to pursue this issue, no matter who it is now, as long as they can help them, it will be good.
The sudden appearance of nearly a thousand mages on the battlefield also made everyone under the command of the Four Princes panic, you know, mages can be said to be the nightmare of the army, every mage will master a wide range of spell attacks, and this spell is the end of the army!
The fourth prince looked at the mage floating in the sky, his face was dead, he had considered many possibilities, no matter which one it was, it could not prevent him from successfully ascending to the throne, because in the entire Moon Dawn Kingdom, the only army that could stop him now was only one army, that was the Apocalypse Army, but it was impossible for the Apocalypse Army to reach the Imperial City in such a short time. In any case, the third prince would definitely lose, but he didn't think that the Mage Guild, which had never interfered in the affairs of the state, would actually help Zhuge Jin.
The generals beside the four princes were also panicked at this time, and said, "Your Majesty, let's withdraw first, we can't fight these mages, otherwise the losses will be incalculable!"
But how could Zhuge Jin give them such an opportunity, with a wave of his hand, all the mages chanted incantations, and one after another spells smashed towards the army that was scurrying with their heads, when did the generals on the side of the four princes suffer such grievances, and they went straight to the mages one by one, intending to kill them. But how could the mage give him such an opportunity? One by one, the high-level magic mercilessly pressed them back to the ground, and these generals could only watch their soldiers struggle in pain in this human purgatory.
Lin Ying and Liao Yang gasped as they looked at the scene in front of them, and Lin Ying hurriedly said: "Your Highness, it's almost, after all, they are all the people of the Yuexi Kingdom, and besides, these soldiers are all obeying the general's orders." If you continue to kill, the national strength may be lost!"
A cold glint flashed in Zhuge Jin's eyes, and he said coldly: "No! Since this group of people dare to raise the anti-flag against me today, it will be impossible for them to settle down in the army in the future, isn't this kind of calamity equivalent to putting a knife behind your back? General Lin, you should know this truth if you are not in charge of the army. ”
Lin Ying's eyes sank, he didn't expect that Zhuge Jin, who had always been gentle and elegant, would be so murderous, if he was really allowed to kill so indiscriminately, I am afraid that Yuexi Kingdom would not have enough strength to the outside world in the future, and regardless of Zhuge Jin, he used his spiritual power and shouted: "Wait and listen! Surrender immediately, let Er wait for a way out, if you don't obey, ask for more blessings!"
Hearing Lin Ying's words, everyone who had already lost their will to fight suddenly knelt on the ground and shouted surrender.
Lin Ying looked up at the mage who was still casting his own spell in the sky, and shouted, "Everyone, stop! They have already surrendered! There is no need to create more killings!" As he spoke, he glanced sideways at Zhuge Jin.
The third prince felt Lin Ying's gaze, and a trace of gloom flashed imperceptibly in his eyes, but he still raised his head and said to the heavenly mage: "Thank you for your great help, if there is an opportunity in the future, Zhuge Jin will repay you with a heavy gift!"
Hearing Zhuge Jin's words, the mages in the sky stopped one after another, and then left the battlefield without saying hello.
