After a moment of silence, Gopra said, "Got it." We will report it to the adults. Shabro, you go on the offensive and take it early! It doesn't matter what they say, we just have to chase and fight! ”

"Wait!" Lu Zhen stopped Shabro, "Shabro, tell us again, what did the chief say—be more detailed!" ”

"Lu Zhen!" Gopra slapped the table angrily: "What do you mean?" What do you want? ”

Lu Zhen also seemed to be out of the way, and he glared at Gopla without flinching: "What are you yelling about!" Let everyone know what the chief said, and think about the way out, what's wrong with this! ”

"You! You are shaking the hearts of the army...... You're thinking about the opposite side of Toucheng! ”

"Fart! I'm thinking about the brethren! The family has hundreds of thousands of troops, the Far Eastern Army, the Expeditionary Force, the Northwest Frontier Army, and any force that pulls it back can clean us up! Now that the chief is trapped by us, this is a rare opportunity to force him to accept our conditions, so that everyone can live! If you really want to break the net, then everyone will only die together! ”

"Can't you see? This is a delaying tactic! They didn't know that Stirling was finished, and now they wanted to stall for the expeditionary force to return. This shows that they can't hold out for long. ”

"Stupid man! Even if we take the Governor's Mansion and kill them all, how much better can we be? Just a few more days! Once the Northwest Army or the Far Eastern Army returns to Shiqinwang, we will immediately be dead! ”

Lu Qi smiled cruelly: "Gopra, I know your thoughts, you killed Master Stirling, and now you are afraid!" Once we make peace with the commander-in-chief, and the Far Eastern Commander returns, we will all be fine, and you will be finished! Hidekawa-sama will never let Sterling's murderer go! Therefore, you refuse to negotiate peace, and want to drag everyone to die together! ”

He turned his head and shouted at Imashi and Shabro, "You all understand, right? That's what Gopra had in mind! We can't be dragged to death by him! ”

"You!" Gopla's face turned pale, he was not good at words, and he was indeed not an opponent against Lu Zhen, who could speak well.

Shabro was stunned by what he saw. He said angrily: "Adults, shouldn't such a major event be reported to Lord Dilin?" What is the system of your quarrels here? ”

The three directors were stunned. Imanishi was the first to react, and he said with a smile: "Shabro is right! Lu Zhen and Gopra, both of you are high-ranking commanders, you have different ideas, you should report to the lord for ruling, and you are arguing like a rooster, which is really not like words. Shabro, you go back first, we will report to the adults first, and we will let you know when the adults have instructions. ”

Shabro was gone, and the three red-clothed flags who had their own thoughts did not speak. Gopra gasped for breath. Lu Zhen sneered and looked at the wall. The two had straight faces, and neither looked at each other.

Looking at the two of them, Jinxi smiled: "Two, listen to me." In my opinion, the Chief's proposal is five points true and five points false. ”

"How?" Gopra asked sullenly.

"It's true, the chief has indeed been cornered by us. As long as he can save his life, he can agree to any condition now. His conditions are indeed sincere now. ”

Seeing that Jinxi agreed with him, Lu Zhen was overjoyed, and quickly turned his head: "So I said ......"

Imashi interrupted him: "But in the future, once the chief is relieved, I have some understanding of His Highness's temperament. He's not necessarily that big-hearted, and he's a man who often changes his mind - he'll definitely regret it! When the time comes, he just needs to break up the Ombudsman and transfer us away, and it will be easier to clean us up. ”

"But the Far East is ......"

"The chief said that he would invite the commander of the Far East to enter Beijing, but he didn't say when Lord Xiuchuan would be able to enter Beijing!" Imanishi smiled, with a bit of childishness in his smile. He looked at the two colleagues faintly: "The Far Eastern Commander is now fighting with the barbarians in the Demon Kingdom, and he has evacuated the Demon God Castle when he heard that the war is unfavorable. The new demon army is being trained in Fogrozbia - the war situation is tight, the road is long, and it is unknown whether and when the Far Eastern Commander will return. Gopra was right, it was a delaying tactic. What I am afraid of is that if the Far Eastern Commander does not return, the Qinwang Army or the Expeditionary Force in the Northwest will be killed. Sterling was gone, but they weren't dead. Once the situation is stable, the commander-in-chief gives an order, and the expeditionary force rushes from Dak, it will only take one day. Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if the Far Eastern Commander can really rush back in time, only Lord Di Lin has a friendship with his old man. Anyway, I'm not lucky enough to make a friend like Lord Xiuchuan - Lu Zhen, how is your personal relationship with Lord Xiuchuan? Will he go against the chief to protect you? ”

Lu Zhen's face was pale, and Jinxi patted him on the shoulder with a smile: "Lu Zhen, since you have embarked on this road, it is too late to turn back now." Over there, it's never- no—but—can—let us go! ”

The last sentence was said word by word by word through gritted teeth. At this time, he still had an innocent, even childlike smile on his face, and the shallow dimples looked childish and cute.

"Let Lord Dilin be the president, coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes, and command the world, this is our only way to live!"

"Coercing the chief?"

"That's right! But it's not Zichuan Shenxing, it's Zichuan Ning! Zichuan Shenxing is too cunning, we can't control him, we must not stay. In comparison, it is much easier to control Zi Chuanning! ”

took the Governor's Mansion, killed Zichuan Sanxing, captured Zichuan Ning alive, and then coerced her to appoint Di Lin as the presidential leader and order all the commanders, this is the plan of Jinxi. He said: "With Zichuanning in control, we have a righteous name. She took over as the commander-in-chief, and the commanders had no reason to raise the army and serve the king—"

"We attacked the Governor's Mansion and killed the President and the Chief of Military Affairs, it is impossible to hide such a big matter from the outside world."

"The Commanders and the Senate will know the truth, and it will be impossible to hide it. But as long as Zi Chuanning is controlled, she can't issue the edict of King Qin, and the commanders will lose the reason for King Qin. Whoever dares to raise troops, he is against the new Commander-in-Chief, His Royal Highness Zi Chuanning, he will become a traitor, he will be isolated, and we can justifiably rebel and quell the rebellion! If we master Zichuanning, we will master the name of righteousness. The country is under our control! The two of you, after taking the Governor's Mansion, Lord Dilin will become the president, and the future command office will definitely be indispensable to the three of us. Ladies and gentlemen, the future is infinitely ambitious, and we are working hard! ”

The two colleagues looked at Jinxi strangely, as if they had seen someone they didn't know, and they couldn't speak for a long time.

Imaxi Hongyi Qiben smiled, smiling innocently and purely, and two shallow dimples bloomed on his face. He was a little embarrassed and asked, "Uh, did I say something wrong?" ”

"That's right, that's right!"

"Good, good!"

The two red-clothed flags were busy speaking out. To be honest, they didn't value this naïve colleague very much before, and they didn't quite understand why Di Lin would give such an important position in the Internal Intelligence Department to such a seemingly shy young man.

Now, they get it.

At 11 o'clock in the afternoon of January 1, 786, the people in the governor's palace did not wait for an answer to the armistice. What awaited them was an even more violent attack. At eleven o'clock. The defenders heard a rumbling sound from the perimeter, and the experienced officers all looked dead - the heavy siege engines had arrived, and the end of the defenders had come.

Heavy siege equipment was available only in the regular army. Although the Gendarmerie Corps are also armed forces, they are disciplinary forces and are armed only with light weapons. Now, they have obtained large heavy weapons, which shows that there must be a regular army under their control in the imperial capital—either the Central Army or the Expeditionary Force—and either of these two armies is controlled by the Imperial Forest, which will be a catastrophe for the Governor's Mansion.

With siege engines, the pace of the rebel offensive will be greatly accelerated, and there will be no reinforcements until the front collapses completely. Thereupon. The head of the family, who was trapped on the inside, had to prepare for the worst.

In the basement of the Governor's Mansion, the sound of ground battles was heard constantly, and the dull echo of heavy siege engines crushing the ground rumbled in the small space. The former commander's secret room has now become the last defense base and the infirmary for the wounded, the walls are lit with torches and oil lamps, the air is filled with the pungent smell of blood and disinfectant water, and the wounded soldiers are groaning and screaming in pain. The civilian official who sat on the ground resting turned pale, and from time to time he poked his head into the basement entrance, for fear that the rebels would call immediately.

Next to a group of brawling Praetorian Guard officers. Zi Chuanning saw her uncle. The old man sat in the middle of the soldiers, and several officers argued excitedly in front of him, waving their arms and drooling. But Zi Chuanning saw that her uncle didn't listen to anything at all. His unfocused gaze had been exposed, and his mind was not here at all.

Seeing Zi Chuanning coming in, the old man's eyes lit up, and he got up and walked towards Zi Chuanning.

"You come with me."

As he spoke, he took his niece into a room where no one was around.

"Uncle, I went up to see it just now, and it was indeed a ballista and a battering ram. The cloister defenses had been lost, and Mistress Pigu was packing up his troops and organizing a new line in the apse—" she hesitated, as if she couldn't say anything about the exit, "but he also thought that the defense could not be kept. The battering ram is too terrible for any building to withstand a few hits. Lord Pigu thinks that while we still have the strength now, we should immediately organize the men and horses to break through and kill them! ”

"Break out?" Zichuan Shenxing raised his eyebrows slightly, "Where did you break through?" ”

"To the camp of the Central Army - or simply to Tak, to Stirling!"

"You may not be able to get out." Zichuan Shenxing shook his head, "Di Lin is not very good, but when it comes to using soldiers and curtains, he is indeed a good hand." Since he dared to besiege the Governor's Mansion, he must have expected the possibility of our breakthrough. ”

"This ......" Zi Chuan Ning said, no one knew Di Lin's military talent better than her. While holding on to the imperial capital, she saw first-hand the superhuman wisdom of the general who looked like a woman. Ambush, outflanking, amputation, and luring the enemy, that series of dazzling tactics made the demons cry bitterly. Dillin is an all-round tactical genius, both offensively and defensively. Despite his righteous indignation, Zi Chuanning had to admit that he was indeed too far behind him on the battlefield of real swords and guns.

"Just now, several team leaders proposed to me to make peace with the rebels for the time being and wait for the expeditionary force to come back."

Zichuan Ning frowned, and said in surprise: "Didn't we send Pigu to say it in the past, Di Lin's attitude is very clear, he doesn't want to negotiate peace at all, he just wants to fight to the end." ”

"Their 'peace'. It's our side that lays down the arms! ”

"What?"

Then, Zi Chuanning understood, his face changed suddenly, and he said in a lost voice: "Isn't this surrender?" ”

Her heart was on fire: "Uncle, who said that?" Arrest them! ”

Zichuan Shenxing shook his head: "What's the use of catching them?" They just said what was in their hearts, and when they were arrested, more people didn't even say anything about their hearts. They're just going to surrender in front of the battle, or—"

He turned to Zi Chuanning, narrowed his eyes, and did not speak. But Zi Chuanning had already read the cold light in his eyes, and she shuddered: those Praetorian Guard officers and soldiers who were cornered could also mutiny, and even captured their uncle and handed them over to Di Lin.

She said guiltily, "Uncle, it's my fault. If I can take charge of the Central Army......"

"No, Aning, it's me who is wrong about this matter." The purple river ginseng star is calm. He wasn't like in a life-or-death moment. It's more like gossiping with your niece under a tree on a summer afternoon: "Actually, you're doing a great job." It is extremely difficult for you to command the Central Army with no military experience at all. You've done a better job than I thought - not everyone is a military genius born with the same kind of wind and frost. In this matter, it was I who made the mistake, I underestimated Di Lin, but overestimated Luo Minghai and Lin Di. I provoked the viper, but I didn't watch out for his counterattack. A-Ning, this is also a bloody lesson, after you succeed as the commander-in-chief, you must remember: before you are sure to eliminate the other party, do not make a provocation easily! ”

Zi Chuanning couldn't cry or laugh. There is a strong enemy besieging outside, and there is a danger of mutiny inside. His uncle is teaching himself how to be a good chief in his spare time. She said euphemistically, "Uncle, now is not the time to talk about this, is it?" Think about how to deal with ......"

"I've prepared what to do. Di Lin surrounded the Governor's Mansion, but he didn't know that there was also a secret passage in the Governor's Mansion, which could lead all the way out of the Imperial Capital. ”

Zichuan Sanxing smiled, his smile was bleak and desolate: "This is a secret that our Zichuan family has passed down from generation to generation, since your father told me this on his deathbed, I originally thought that this secret path would never be used." I didn't expect to use it today. Ah Ning, wait a minute, you will retreat from the secret passage, leave the imperial capital, and call on all legions to quell the rebellion! ”

Wenxin Group Falcon Wind, for trial reading only, please indicate for reprinting, and please support the genuine version.

"Ahh Zi Chuanning was surprised and delighted: "Uncle, let's go immediately!" ”

"Silly girl!" Zichuan Shenxing stroked his niece's hair, his face showing kindness and sadness: "Only you can go." I stayed in the town, so that the Praetorian Guard could defend it. If we all disappear at the same time, they will immediately surrender to Dillin, and the gendarmes will quickly catch up with us—only if you escape, the sacrifice will be meaningful. ”

"No, uncle, how can I leave you ......"

"A-Ning, the two of us, we must leave one person in charge. Who stays, who escapes? This is not determined by my uncle and me, nor by you, this is for the interests of our Zichuan family, and for the ancestors of the family! When the demons attacked, I had already fled the imperial capital once, this time, if I fled again, even if I could endure the turbulence on the way to escape and survive, but I lost such a big face this time, and I didn't have the face to sit in the position of chief again. Moreover, I am old and in poor health, and even without this matter of Dilin, I will not live long. A-Ning, my uncle is old, let me go to various places to salivate my old face and beg those military leaders, I really can't stand this suffering and can't afford to lose this face. A-Ning, you are young, you stick to the imperial capital, you would rather die than retreat, and you have prestige among the people. So, even if you flee this time, it won't ruin your reputation. What's more, you're younger than me! Aning, you must live well! The family's three-hundred-year foundation cannot be broken by you and me! ”

Zi Chuanning still wanted to fight again, but his uncle's face had changed: "Zi Chuan, you kneel!" The old man's face showed a rare solemnity, there was an irresistible majesty in his voice, and Zi Chuanning involuntarily knelt down in front of him, his eyes full of confusion.

Looking down at his niece majestically, Zichuan Shenxing said solemnly: "His Royal Highness Yun and the ancestors and ancestors are in the king, I, the eighth generation of the Zichuan family, Zichuan Shenxing, the eighth generation of the Zichuan family, will pass the position of chief to my niece Zichuan Ning." A-Ning, you follow me to take the oath! I, Zichuan Ning......" The old man's deep voice had an indescribable demagogic power, mysterious and depressing.

Zi Chuan Ning was dazed, and she repeated in a low voice: "I, Zi Chuan Ning ......"

“…… Today, he was inaugurated as the ninth generation of the family......"

“…… Today, he was inaugurated as the ninth generation of the family......"

“…… I command my family's army and defend my family's territory and people. Worship ancestral temples and shrines. Survival depends on my hands......"

“…… I command my family's army and defend my family's territory and people. Worship ancestral temples and shrines. Survival depends on my hands......"

“…… I have dedicated myself to my family......"

“…… I have dedicated myself to my family......"

“…… My blood will be passed on in the blood of my family......"

“…… My blood will be passed on in the blood of my family......"

“… Never back down, never fear. No matter how difficult it may be, I will remember ......"

“… Never back down, never fear. No matter how difficult it may be, I will remember ......"

“…… Purple River is my name......"

“…… Purple River is my name......"

"May the ancestors and ancestors protect the estimation, so that my family will broadcast glory to the world and prosper!"

"May the ancestors and ancestors protect the estimation, so that my family will broadcast glory to the world and prosper!"

After taking the oath, Zichuan Shenxing followed and knelt down beside Zichuan Ning. He held his head high, as if praying to the gods high in the sky: "The ancestors and ancestors are above, from today on, Zi Chuanning is the ninth generation of the head of the family. May the fathers and fathers bless you! May the family have long luck. Inexhaustible! ”

Then, he turned his head: "Aning, get up." Although the ritual is a little rudimentary, from now on, you will be the head of the family. From now on, uncle, I have to listen to you. You remember the rituals and vows just now. This is the oath of the succession of the chief of our family, and you will have to let him do the same when you pass on the throne to your heir in the future. Back then, your father taught me to read by hand......"

"Uncle!" Zi Chuanning sighed, she hugged her uncle tightly, tears welled up in tears, "Uncle......"

A pair of warm and loving hands slowly stroked her hair, and the old man's voice echoed in her ears: "I'm sorry, I have prepared a grand enthronement ceremony for you...... I didn't expect you to ascend the throne like this...... I really want to hand over the family to you and watch the family grow day by day in your hands...... Uncle is old, but I really want to live to see it! I'm sorry, Aning, I couldn't keep the family business and hand over such a mess to you...... Uncle is very sorry for you. I'm sorry for your father, and I'm even more sorry for the ancestors of the family! As he spoke, the old man cried bitterly, "A-Ning, in the future, you must live well!" ”

Thinking that he was about to lose his only relative in the world, Zichuan Ning's heart was like a knife, and tears were like springs. Forced to hold back his sorrow and asked, "Uncle, without you by my side, what should I do after I go out?" ”

"A-Ning, I haven't seen reinforcements for so long, I estimate that not only the Central Army, but also the Expeditionary Force will have a change. Sterling is loyal and righteous, and it is impossible for him to be in the same league as Dilin, but he is too upright, and I am afraid that he has fallen into Dilin's trap...... A-Ning, after you go out, the first thing you have to do is to hurry to the expeditionary force! If my guess is correct, it is very likely that Dilling has killed or imprisoned Stirling, and has taken control of the expeditionary force. But in any case, the expeditionary force is my family's army after all, and loyal officers and soldiers must account for the majority. As long as you can get to the expeditionary force, you will find Wenhe. He is proud, but he is upright, he and Dilin are not compatible, as long as he is there, he can protect you. ”

"What if Wenhe was also harmed by Di Lin?"

Zichuan Shenxing was stunned for a moment and muttered, "Even Wenhe is dead?" Yes, since Di Lin can harm Sterling, then he really has no scruples, and he doesn't care about harming one more Wen He. But Di Lin can't kill all the high-ranking generals in the expeditionary force, right? In the expeditionary force, who else is there besides Wenhe? Fang Yun? Starry? ”

Thinking of these officers, Zichuan Shenxing couldn't help but hesitate. He didn't know much about these officers.

They are all officers who have been promoted by the local army, and Sanxing's understanding of them is only limited to the short few minutes during the audience, and those few programmed answers: "Fang Yunqing, you have worked hard!" In the future, I hope you will work hard! ”

"Your Highness Xie Longen, Weichen will do his best to repay him!"

Zichuan Shenxing is no longer confident in himself, and he doesn't dare to identify loyalty based on those two short sentences. Of course, under normal circumstances, Fang Yun and Starry would definitely obey orders from the central government, but now in this extraordinary period, the authority of the central government has been subverted by Di Lin's army. Discipline and authority cannot be counted on, and at this time you can only rely on the loyalty in the heart of each person.

And entrusting his niece to pick up a few middle-level officers who are not familiar with him, Zichuan Shenxing really can't put his mind at ease.

After pondering for a long time, Zichuan Shenxing finally said: "If you can't find Wenhe...... A-Ning, uncle doesn't know what to do anymore, you can improvise. If the expeditionary force can't do it, you can vote for Minghui. He was cowardly, but he was loyal. The Northwest Frontier Army also has considerable strength, enough to fight with Di Lin, if Ming Hui is defeated...... If you can't do it, you can also borrow troops from the Flowing Wind and Frost or the Lin family to destroy Di Lin! ”

Zichuan Ning was shocked, but Zichuan Shenxing was indifferent: "Don't be surprised, for the restoration of the country, we can do everything." ”

Zi Chuanning replied in a low voice: "Yes!" "It's strange in my heart, my uncle even came up with borrowing troops from Liufeng Shuang, why did he forget that the family still has a famous general Zichuan Xiu with heavy troops in the east?

"Uncle, I want to ...... If the expeditionary force can't count on it. Can I ask the Far Eastern Commander for help first? ”

"Never!" Zichuan Shenxing immediately said, "Zichuan Xiu and Di Lin have too close a relationship, if they collude with each other, Ah Ning, you will be equivalent to sending sheep into the tiger's mouth!" We can't take that risk! ”

Zi Chuanning nodded disappointedly. Looking at his niece, Zichuan Shenxing could only smile bitterly. My niece is still too young to think about the problem in the long term. To be honest, Di Lin's rebellion this time was forced in a hurry, and Zichuan Shenxing didn't believe that he would collude with Zichuan Xiu in advance. But what he worries about is another problem: the Zichuan family's three-hundred-year rule, and the people's hearts have not been lost. Whether it is the Flowing Wind and Frost or the Lin family, they are all outsiders, and even if they can defeat Di Lin, they do not have the ability to completely annex the entire Zichuan family - of course, for the participation of these friendly forces. The Zichuan family will definitely have to pay a heavy price, and the northwest and southwest of the family are likely to be used as gifts to thank them, but even so, it is better than inviting Zichuan Xiu to Beijing for reinforcements.

Because Liu Fengshuang and the Lin family are outsiders, if they want to oppose the guest and completely annex the Zichuan family, they will be resolutely resisted by the family's native nobles and warlords, such as Zichuan Xiu in the Far East, Minghui in the Northwest and others. But if Zichuan Xiu quells the rebellion, with this merit, he can inherit the throne with the surname Zichuan. There won't be much opposition within the family, and the Lin family and Liufeng Shuang have no reason to intervene, this is completely an internal affair of the Zichuan family.

A house thief is more terrible than an outsider, this is the opinion of Zichuan Shenxing.

But these things can't be explained to Zi Chuanning now. In this girl's heart, she is still full of naïve thoughts such as "Brother Axiu, Sister Ning", she still doesn't understand that it is no longer the childhood of childhood plums, and Zichuan Xiu is no longer the innocent and passionate teenager she was back then. Now he is already an ambitious Far Eastern warlord and the emperor of the Demon Kingdom. Such a person, seeing that there is an opportunity in the central government, how can he not take advantage of the situation.

Di Lin plotted against the theft of the country, and his notoriety was notorious all over the world. At home, his relations with the Senate were stiff, and the nobles would never support him. And internationally, whether it is the Lin family or the Liufeng family, no matter what they think, their lips are cold, and it is impossible for them to support this kind of rebellious thief. Under the enemy on all sides, even if Di Lin can be fierce for a while, it is bound to not last long.

But Shikawa Xiu...... Zichuan Shenxing really couldn't see through him. This is a character who has turned into a golden dragon in the pond, and Zichuan Shenxing has been wary of him for a long time. In terms of the threat to the Zichuan family, he is much greater than Di Lin!

Looking at his niece, Zichuan Shenxing showed loving and sad eyes.

My niece, what you are about to take is a difficult and thorny road to the restoration of the country! You can't trust anyone, you can't rely on anyone, you have to take advantage of everyone, but you can't be used by others. What you have to face is the most ferocious and cunning enemy, Di Lin, Zi Chuan Xiu, Liu Fengshuang, Lin Rui - these people are all extremely clever characters, full of scheming and wisdom. They are a hundred times more experienced than you in terms of experience and experience, and they have to deal with such a powerful figure to preserve the bloodline of the Zichuan family - niece, your uncle has given you a task that is not easy!

Thinking a lot in his heart, his face did not show the slightest, but said lightly: "A-Ning, it's not too early, it's time for you to go!" ”

Zi Chuanning stood up: "Uncle, you have to hold on, after I go out, I will contact the rescuers immediately!" I'm going to call for reinforcements from the expeditionary force, and I'll come to your rescue soon!" You must hold on and wait for me to come back! ”

Zichuan Shenxing looked at her and didn't say anything, just waved at her vigorously.

Zi Chuanning turned to leave, and couldn't help but cover her face and wanted to cry. An uncle's voice came from behind him: "Child, be strong, remember, your name is Zichuan!" ”

At this time, the tears that could not be held back finally burst out of his eyes, and Zi Chuanning silently said in his heart, "Uncle, I will never forget!" I promise! ”

That night, the news of the mutiny had spread like the wind throughout the imperial capital.

The inhabitants panicked, and people hid in their homes in a panic, carrying the valuable gold and silver. They closed the door tightly, did not dare to turn on the light, and peered through the gap in the curtain as the army marched through the street.

When the sun rose, the citizens of the imperial capital were presented with a scene that was no different from before. Shops were open as usual, schools and hospitals were open as usual, and the only thing unusual was that the gendarmes in black coats replaced the patrolling policemen, who stood in the streets with serious expressions, directing the citizens to bypass several roads leading to the central street, where the governor's office and the headquarters were located, and about a square mile from the center of which is still a war zone.
