On March 21, the sixth year of the general chapter, the 16 guards of the capital led by Chi Qing, the official lieutenant of the Hubei State, hurriedly left Beijing and rushed to Taiyuan Mansion to escort them, so as to stabilize the hearts of the people who had been floating in the capital. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 Two days later, in the middle of the night of March 23, when all the people in the capital were falling asleep, the seemingly peaceful Jiangxia County Palace, but quietly gathered a thousand subordinates.

In the light of the beating fire, the king of Jiangxia County, who was standing on the steps of the main hall, looked down condescendingly at his cronies and subordinates, his pale face was a little bloody, he raised his glass of wine, and shouted: "Drink to win!" ”

A group of big men silently raised the wine jar, raised their heads and drank it all, and then smashed the jar to the ground, looking at each other and laughing. Everyone's eyes were red, their faces were full of murderous intent, and they were full of emotion. The king of Jiangxia County saw them holding torches, rushed out of the mansion, and walked towards the Daming Palace in the north, he couldn't help but slightly hook the corners of his lips, looked at the young man who seemed to be a little trembling beside him, and said gently: "What? Da Lang, success or failure is tonight, are you afraid? ”

The young man barely hid his hesitation and fear, and muttered, "I'm just...... It's just that I didn't expect that the clan brother would ......"

"How drastic is it done?" The King of Jiangxia County said it for him, smiling rather than smiling, "Do you think that it is so easy to ascend to the position of the crown prince of the East Palace, and even to step on the throne of the Ninety-Five?" Just a few words of complaint in private is enough? The saint will see your goodness and remember that you are his firstborn? Should you be made a prince? ”

Young man, no, maybe he should be called the King of Qi, looking at the clan brother in front of him with a complicated gaze. He wasn't a fool - even if he had been completely carried away by resentment and jealousy, and had made all sorts of unwise choices, he had finally seen this man for what he really was.

He is just an excuse for the king of Jiangxia to raise an army and rebel. Only in his name can it barely be justified. Otherwise, the king of Jiangxia County, the king of the distant branch of the clan, has no serious position, how can he dare to besiege the Daming Palace where Queen Du is located? If he fails, then he, as the "messenger of the Lord", will also die without a place to be buried; If he succeeds, then he can only be a puppet for a few months, and the end is equally miserable.

At this moment, King Qi suddenly remembered many people. Far away in Taiyuan Mansion, he has long been disappointed in him, and it is said that his father is "unknown in life and death"; was deposed as a concubine and became a nun, but her mother who never calmed down; Facing everything indifferently, high up, as if everything is under control; Radiant, with countless loves, the much-loved sister Princess Changning; Timid and timid, calm and peaceful, but often very able to grasp the sense of the king of Adishu......

How would these relatives react if they learned of what he had done wrong?

King Qi didn't dare to think about it, and he couldn't think about it. But he can't be used by him to death as the king of Jiangxia County wants. He does have the greedy blood of the Yang family, and he mistakenly trusts people who shouldn't be believed. But his surname is Li, he is the son of a saint, how can he live such a sloppy life? Even a distant clan county king can bully him?!

King Jiangxia didn't care about King Qi's silence. In his opinion, the greedy young man had no choice but to follow him until he died silently. So, he laughed and said, "Am I not planning for you?" Your mother-in-law is ruthless, look at how she deals with Concubine Yuan Shu, who is pregnant with a dragon heir? Have you not come to your senses? You are the eldest son, and you are also in her way. For the sake of the unborn fifth prince in her womb, she will definitely get rid of you at all costs. You're just thinking about self-preservation. Rest assured, neither the saint nor the first emperor will blame you. ”

“…… Brother, what should I do next? After a moment of silence, Qi Wangfang asked in a low voice.

"Just let me go." The king of Jiangxia took him to the outside of the palace. The two of them turned on their horses, and hundreds of pieces immediately gathered around them with torches. Nearly 1,000 people came to the door of Lifang, and the Wuhou in the fang not only turned a blind eye, but even opened the door for them.

All the way to the north, many miles along the way have poured out of unknown men. Gradually, there were always three or four thousand people. King Qi was horrified in his heart, and couldn't help but look worriedly at the Daming Palace that was lying in the northeast of Chang'an City like a behemoth. The situation was even more serious than he had imagined, and it was obvious that at least one of the generals around Jin Wuwei had been controlled by the King of Jiangxia. Otherwise, he would not have been able to quietly gather so many rebels.

How many of the other guards who stayed in the capital fell to the king of Jiangxia?! Can the unprepared prison guards guard guard the Daming Palace?

Seeing that the Daming Palace was already close at hand, the king of Jiangxia suddenly ordered everyone to stop. Everyone was trained to stop where they were and changed into battle formations. And he squinted his eyes, and under the dim light, the closed palace gate was empty.

However, the next moment, torches gradually lit up on the palace wall, like a long dragon opened its eyes softly, and danced its teeth and claws towards this group of rebels. And above the Danfeng Gate of the palace gate, surrounded by the prison guards in the middle, it was Li Hui, the king of Xin'an County, and Princess Changning, who were dressed in military uniforms.

Obviously, Daming Palace has been prepared for a long time, as if it is expected that someone will be in chaos in the next few days. But at this time, the king of Jiangxia County could not be allowed to think about who leaked the news, he immediately raised his horsewhip, pointed directly at the palace gate, and said loudly: "The evil woman of the Du family, who is jealous and kills indiscriminately, plots to kill the emperor's heir, is worthy of being the mother of the country!" The saint is in danger in Taiyuan Mansion, she doesn't think about sharing the saint's worries, but conspires to calculate the throne, which is really punishable!! Today, I will open my eyes for His Royal Highness King Qi, the eldest son of the saint, and help him ascend to the throne of the crown prince!! If there are opponents, they are all rebels, and their crimes should be punished!! ”

"He deserves to be punished! Punished!! A group of big men shouted immediately after, and with a voice like an overwhelming sea, they strengthened his prestige.

When the chanting stopped, Li Hui's face did not change at all, and he said coldly: "What a sharp mouth that reverses right and wrong!" Who killed the dragon heir in Concubine Yuan Shu's womb, I'm afraid no one knows better than you, the king of Jiangxia! Those women in Beijing who have used tonic medicine can testify for Concubine Yuan Shu! And you, the king of Jiangxia County, not only murdered the dragon heir and slandered your uncle, but also took advantage of this to raise an army and rebel, committing the first crime of the ten evils! Unforgivable! Yue Niang and I, today we will clean up the traitors for my uncle and aunt and kill them all!! ”

"Kill them all! Kill!! The guards shouted unflinchingly, and in terms of momentum, they did not lose the slightest defeat to the traitors who were almost three times their size.

At this time, the King of Jiangxia seemed to hear some unusual sounds. After listening carefully, his face changed suddenly, and he looked at the two Li Fang that suddenly opened behind him in disbelief - thousands of people suddenly poured out of the Guangzhai Fang and Yishan Fang facing the Daming Palace, half of them were the remaining soldiers of the Sixteen Guards in Beijing, and the other half were dressed as guards, and the leaders were actually Qin An, King Jing, and Li Tai, King Pu!!

The situation suddenly reversed, and the numerical advantage of the king of Jiangxia was lost. However, he was not afraid, but raised his eyebrows with a smile and said, "Wu Guogong really thinks that these two around him are worthy of trust?" King Pu, who was the second son of Empress Qin, may have never extinguished his desire for the throne. If there is an opportunity, how can Pu Wang not want to go further? As for His Royal Highness King Jing-heh. ”

He laughed meaningfully, clearly with words. As he expected, Qin An, the Duke of Wu, changed his face slightly, and couldn't help but glance at King Jing and King Pu next to him. King Jing's eyes were full of fierceness, glaring at him fiercely, and he actually made a gesture of drawing a bow and shooting arrows, while Li Tai, the king of Pu, couldn't help but argue: "Uncle must not fall for his divisive plan!" Jiangxia children! Do you think everyone is like you, Xiao wants something that doesn't belong to him?! Hey, and you, Dalang!! We're really mistaken about you!! ”

King Qi couldn't help but lean forward and open his mouth to speak. The king of Jiangxia quickly carried him to his horse, and secretly put the barrier knife against his waist: "King Pu's words are wrong, what does it mean that 'Xiao Xiang does not belong to himself'?" Who knows whether Du is male or female in the womb? If something happens to the saint, isn't it His Royal Highness the King of Qi who is most suitable to inherit the throne? Could it be that you have other plans - you want to succeed to the throne yourself?! ”

"Nonsense!!" Princess Changning was furious, raised her bow and aimed her arrow at him, "The thief is hateful!" How dare you be disrespectful to Grandpa!! It shows what unbearable dark thoughts you have!! Boom! Could it be that you think so in your heart?! You're also looking forward to grandpa...... So that you can ascend the throne as emperor yourself?! Ridiculous!! It's ridiculous!! ”

King Qi felt the cold barrier knife on his waist, closed his eyes, and shouted, "Sister! He forced me!! He wants to rebel and use me as an excuse! Sister, don't believe him!! With that, he felt a chill in his abdomen, as if the ice had passed through his body. The pain was so severe that his head went blank for a moment—he staggered down to see the tip of a blood-stained knife on his abdomen.

In front of everyone's eyes, the King of Qi, whose abdomen was dripping with blood, fell down from his horse and lay on the ground, not knowing whether he was alive or dead.

The face of the king of Jiangxia did not change at all, and he shouted: "The Du clan sent someone to assassinate the king of Qi and avenge the king of Qi!" The big men around him also seemed to have forgotten the moment just now, shouted "revenge" in unison, and pounced like hungry wolves on the guards who surrounded them—compared to the guards and other soldiers standing on the palace wall, these guards did not seem to have much training, and there was nothing to fear.

Such a brazen person is simply unprecedented!

For a while, King Jing and Li Tai were stunned, not knowing how to react. As a real civil official, Qin An, who had never been accurate in drawing a bow and shooting arrows, and was so fat that he couldn't move at all, hurriedly shouted, asking them to return to the Guangzhai Fang for temporary refuge, and they must not let the king of Jiangxia County catch him as a hostage.

Just when the king of Jiangxia County led people towards Li Tai and the others, Li Hui's arrow was already whistling. King Jiangxia only felt a chill in his ears, and an arrow passed through his right ear, grazing his face. He screamed in pain, and another arrow followed, striking him in the arm. In a moment, another arrow arrived. If it weren't for the guards beside him who bravely crouched behind him and blocked the arrows for him, I am afraid that this time he would have passed through his heart.

"Medium!!" The guards cheered loudly, as if they were inspired, and sent out a rain of arrows.

Li Hui on the Danfeng Gate always stared at the King of Jiangxia, and used his arrow skills to force him to dodge in embarrassment, and he didn't care about catching Li Tai and the others at all. The battle situation was obviously unfavorable, and the king of Jiangxia County covered the arrow wound, secretly gritted his teeth, and motioned to his subordinates to break out of the encirclement with him.

Li Hui also made a gesture, asking the soldiers and subordinates to make way without a trace, forcing the king of Jiangxia to flee in a panic. The crowd shouted to chase after them, and the situation changed completely—the flock that seemed to be weak became a pack of wolves hunting its prey in an instant; And the fierce wolves had to continue to run with their tails between their legs.
