On the fourth day of the first month of June, the day has been hot, the cicada hiss filled the whole earth, the hoarse but sharp sound is entwined and scrambling to drill into the human brain, people are distressed by the cicada hiss entangled impetuousness and have nowhere to hide, in the small forest outside the Xuanwu Gate, there are a hundred people hiding behind the trunk of the tree, each hand holding the handle of the long knife is tightly wrapped with the handle of the knife with a strip of cloth, allowing the sweat to slide through the neck of the face and neck drop by drop, wet clothes, regardless of the insects and flies buzzing and flying, as if the feet have taken root, and the slightest line does not move.

More than half a month ago, Mu Qing personally made a promise, if it came true, everyone could get a serious household registration, and give another hundred gold, and justifiably did not enter the market, and since then those who wish to go will disperse, just ordinary people, and no longer have to carry their lives through the sword and sword shadows, and the assassination. These 100 dead soldiers are all excited, and the free and stable life is really the greatest stimulation for them, and they are holding back their strength one by one, just waiting for the day when they will retire.

The guards on the Xuanwu Gate Tower stood facing east, facing the sun that rose from the east to the sun, squinted his eyes, and several jumping black dots appeared at the end of the east avenue. The black dots appeared one after another, and the guard lowered his brows, and counted silently in his heart for a while, estimating the number of black dots, until the first few black dots showed the silhouette of the rider, and he nodded, secretly thinking, there were more than 100 people.

Li Jiancheng, who was coming west on the other side of the avenue, clamped his horse's belly with his legs at this moment, and led more than 100 horsemen to gallop towards Xuanwu Gate in a muffled voice. Since Erlang was born, their mother, Mrs. Dou, has no longer belonged to him alone, and Erlang has been shining since he was a child; It is Erlang who is praised by the staff of the Tang State Mansion, and it is also Erlang who is as imposing as a rainbow and has the posture of a king; The most effective strategist and good assistant. The heart belongs to Erlang; Even Yuan Tiangang, who claims to assert that there is no mistake in his assertion, when he said the words "help the world and the people", he also referred to Erlang. Everyone seemed to have forgotten the existence of his eldest son.

After enduring it for 30 years in one breath, he finally survived to this day, what is dazzling, what is the posture of a king, what is helping the world and the people, he is determined to end all this today. Li Jiancheng clenched the reins of the horse in his hand, and couldn't help but burst out a few cold laughs, and his heart was full of excitement. His body trembled uncontrollably. It looks like it's wobbly on a galloping horse.

"Don't worry, eldest brother." King Qi saw it clearly behind him, only when he was a little panicked, he urged Ma Ce to his side twice, "Xuanwu Gate guard Chang He." and the guards in the palace. It's all the people we set up. As long as he comes, as soon as he enters the Xuanwu Gate, he is a turtle in the urn, and there is no way to escape. Last night's edict was clear. Today is to ask the three of us to go to the Linhu Hall together, with his King Qin, no matter how bold and prestigious, he must not dare to resist and disobey. Today's action was foolproof, and after today, the eldest brother will no longer be hindered, once and for all. ”

Li Jiancheng glanced back at him sideways, hooked the corners of his mouth, "What the third brother said is extremely true." On the side of Xuanwu Gate, how can it be arranged? ”

King Qi couldn't hide his smugness, raised his eyebrows and said, "It's the most appropriate." ”

Approaching the Xuanwu Gate, Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji, who were currently in the lead, slowly dismounted, and more than 100 elite cavalrymen accompanying them were divided into two teams of more than 50 horsemen in the front and rear, surrounding the two in the middle.

Li Jianchengle took the horse, closed his eyes and was silent for a long time, then suddenly opened his eyes and said to Li Yuanji: "How can this road be so peaceful?" It came too smoothly, but it taught people a little ......"

"The eldest brother is too worried." Li Yuanji laughed and said, "Isn't it the same on weekdays? Let's get in quickly, so as not to teach people to get ahead of the curve. ”

More than 50 elite horsemen in front of them have lined up to penetrate the Xuanwu Gate, Li Jiancheng hesitated for a while, looked around left and right, but did not see anything abnormal, looked up, the guard standing on the city wall was indeed his own specially placed in the Xuanwu Gate Chang He, everything was as expected in advance, without half a point of difference, and then shook off the reins, urging the horse into the city gate.

The horses of the two trotted through the wide doorway, and just returned to the sun, but suddenly heard a heavy and sonorous "rumble" sound behind them, Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji looked back together, the city gate was slowly closing, and more than half of the people and horses had not entered the door. The two looked at each other suspiciously, and looked up to see Chang He standing on the city gate.

"Who wants you to close the door at this time! Quickly order the people to stop, and let the people behind them enter the door! Li Yuanji took the lead and couldn't bear it, pointed at Chang He with a horsewhip in his hand, raised his head and roared angrily.

Chang He stood motionless at the city gate, without even lifting his eyelids, as if he hadn't heard the angry shouts from the city tower. The two heavy city gates slowly closed in one place, and the middle one became thinner and narrower, gradually becoming a thin line, and with a dull loud "bang", the city gate was tightly closed in one place. This loud bang hit Li Jiancheng's heart, and he seemed to be awakened by this sound, took the horse back a few steps, leaned up to the city tower and shouted: "Chang He! What do you want, just say it, this palace will do what it says, don't miss the right thing! ”

The clay and iron guard on the city tower suddenly moved his head, clenched his fists downward, and said indifferently: "The last general doesn't know what to ask for." ”

The volume was not loud, but Li Jiancheng under the city tower could hear it clearly, and he couldn't understand this inexplicable sentence for a while, and sat on the horse in a daze, unable to answer the next sentence.

"Your Highness's words are wrong, how does he know what Chang He wants, if His Highness meets Chang He on the Huangquan Road, why don't you ask him in person." A pure and peaceful voice suddenly sounded on the castle tower. Like a sharp arrow coming straight towards Li Jiancheng's head, Li Jiancheng only felt a chill above his head, couldn't help but shrink his neck, looked up, and his whole heart seemed to be poured with a basin of ice water, which was extremely cold.

But seeing that Du Ruhui, who had been burned to a black mass four years ago, was standing upright on the city gate, and said calmly to "Chang He" beside him: "Haven't you seen His Royal Highness the Prince?" ”

It was clearly the guard who was placed in the Xuanwu Gate by himself, and at this moment he was clasping his fists and holding a military salute, "Liu Da, the Marquis of Luoyang City, has seen His Royal Highness the Prince. ”

On the other side, Li Yuanji was as angry as a tiger, and raised his horse lance and swung it towards the city gate, "Are you trying to rebel!" ”

A few wry smiles appeared on Li Jiancheng's face, at this moment he had suddenly realized, he was afraid that the real Chang He would be killed before he could find him to plot. The one he has painstakingly arranged in the most critical position is actually the henchmen of his opponent. And the person who should have gone to Huangquan a long time ago was still living, and a large net was carefully woven under his nose, and now he was covering under this net. It's a shame that he thought he was finally a good chess player over the years, and he destroyed the most solid wall around King Qin, but in the end, he still made a move.

The wry smile on his face changed suddenly, his nostrils opened one by one vigorously, and a sinister killing intent rose up, leaving the two people on the city tower behind. He went straight to the selected Bishamen dead soldiers around him and said, "Protect me and rush into the inner garden." In the future, you will all bow to the general! Those who have won the two people on the upper floor of the city will be awarded the general of the three-grade Qianniu Wei! ”

The dead soldiers of Bishamen all shouted, and the agitation was unstoppable, and they wanted to rush into battle and kill the enemy immediately.

In the shadows under the Xuanwu Gate Opening. I don't know when a small group of dark people came out. But twenty or thirty people. Surrounded in the middle was Li Shimin, who was in the Xuanrobe and Xuanjia, who led the horse and walked from the shadows to the sun. The blue and white jade gluttonous hair crown on the bun shone with a cold light, "The Holy One is still in power, is the eldest brother already going to be sealed?" ”

Li Jiancheng swept the twenty-three Xuanjia soldiers and the guards standing on the city tower, those who had already opened their bows and arrows, and the cold and shining arrows were aimed at the city tower, only about fifty steps ahead, it was the inner garden, and when he rushed into the inner garden to meet the saint, he was alive.

He clenched his back teeth, his eyebrows, eyes, and nose were almost twisted together, and he pulled out a long knife from the scabbard with his backhand, pointed it at Li Shimin, and said coldly: "Whoever takes his head will be awarded a hussar general!" ”

Those dead soldiers of Bishamen smelled the bloody smell of blood, and they couldn't care about the side, screaming and scattering to kill them, the momentum was so strong that it was unstoppable for a while.

The half of the people outside the Xuanwu Gate were unknown at first, and the sound of fighting inside suddenly broke out and it was the prince and the king of Qi who were destroying the subordinates of the king of Qin, until the arrows on the city tower rained down, and someone understood, although they didn't know what was going on inside, they also knew that the situation must be bad. Just as he was about to fight to climb the stairs and seize the door, more than 100 ambush knives in the small forest on the side shouted and rushed out, and slashed at the horse's legs.

The dead soldiers of Bishamen are not ordinary warriors, they have been tempered by some hard training, and the hundred people left by He Suizhao to Mu Qing are also unusual, and the fight outside the Xuanwu Gate is tragic and arduous, with blood splashing everywhere and shouting all over the sky.

Du Ruhui stood on the city gate tower, and saw the yellow dust floating in the north, and the Qinzi banner broke through the yellow dust, knowing that Fang Xuanling, Cheng Zhijie and others led reinforcements to come, and then looked at another group of men and horses in the east to bypass the Xuanwu Gate and go straight to the inner courtyard of the imperial city.

He has been weaving this net for four years, and now it is with this tall and majestic Xuanwu Gate as the fulcrum, when it is unfolded, he feels that he has never been so calm and calm, as if since the day the Xuanwu Gate was erected, he should have waited here for this bloody battle.

Mu Qing sat in Yinghua's residence, silently calculating in his heart what the situation of the Xuanwu Gate was at this moment, and when the palace people entered the palace early in the morning, it coincided with the distribution of Xuanjia to the soldiers outside the palace by the eldest grandson, and poured wine with his own hands. After entering the house, Yinghua asked at the first point, but the soldiers outside were about to set off. Without waiting for Mu Qing to answer, she sighed solemnly: If it weren't for the fact that Feng Ling had not yet been born before the moon, she would definitely have to go with her this time.

The two sat and talked for a while, both absent-mindedly, full of thoughts about that important matter, and even the saint gave Fengling the title of the county lord of Runan, which did not arouse the interest of the two of them. At the beginning, there were also internal eunuchs who came in every other moment to inform the Xuanwu Gate of the state of affairs, and after an hour and a half, the news was suddenly broken, because the eldest grandson strictly ordered the concubines of each courtyard to stay in their respective courtyards in peace, and they were not allowed to come out and move around for no reason, and Mu Qing and Yinghua had to wait in the house.

After a while, seeing that Yinghua was anxious, Mu Qing instructed the maid to hug Feng Ling to tease the naughty, the baby was pink and cute, so that Yinghua was more stable.

It was almost noon, and a maid with a raw face ran in the courtyard in a huff, bowing to the ground, saying that the Xuanwu Gate was in danger. Before he finished speaking, Yinghua jumped up and stuffed the swaddling clothes into Mu Qing's arms without hesitation, "At this point, I must be going to this experience, and my sister is here waiting for me to come back." As he spoke, he casually pulled over a military robe, and couldn't wait to get the armor, and ran out of the house with a military robe on one wall and one wall on the other, shouting loudly and ordering people to prepare horses.

Mu Qing hugged the child with one hand, and reached out with the other hand to pull her, but the speed was far less than hers, and the outstretched hand was only an inch away, and he failed to grab the corner of her clothes, only grabbed a handful in mid-air, and watched her run out of the house.

She was stunned for a moment outside the house, looked down at the child in her arms, and sighed faintly, since the first time she saw her in Wu County when she was a child, she was so impatient, and now that she has become a mother, she still does not see her restrained.

The moment she turned her head, Mu Qing's eyes suddenly swept to see the maid who was still lying on the ground, she didn't feel that her heart moved, she moved her eyes and looked at her carefully, only to see that she was lying on the ground, her body seemed to be trembling slightly, others seemed to be just panicking in front of Mrs. Niangzi, and in Mu Qing's eyes, there was an indescribable weirdness.

"You...... New to your wife's side? Mu Qing hesitated for a moment, and finally asked the maid.

The maid shuddered and shook her head almost with her forehead against the stone bricks on the ground.

"Get up and speak." Mu Qing glanced at Ah Liu. Ah Liu summoned another maid, and the two of them stepped forward to hold the maid on the ground one on the left and one on the right, and pulled her up from the ground half-supported and half-framed.

The maid stood up tremblingly, lowered her head and didn't dare to look at Mu Qing, and could vaguely see one or two tears falling to the ground.

Mu Qing's heart couldn't help but tighten, and he said sharply: "Let me ask you, is it a person from this courtyard?" ”

Without waiting for her to reply, the maid who was supporting her looked at her with a crooked face, and said to Mu Qingyu: "Madam, this maid is not from our side, and the slave maid is also the first time to see her." ”

Mu Qing's heart sank more and more, he stood up and handed over the swaddling clothes to the nurse, and approached the raw face step by step, "You listen carefully, I only want to ask you, which place is assigned?" You tell me the truth, I don't hurt you in the slightest, dare to have half a word or untruth, I don't have to ask where you came from, just your life. Or you can also try when I don't dare to do anything in Hongyi Palace. ”

The maid was so scared that she almost died, and when she heard this, her heart trembled like chaff, and she cried so much that her face was full of confusion, and she couldn't speak. Although her mouth was vague, Mu Qing still heard the words "Princess Qin" clearly, her mind was dizzy, and she hurriedly reached out to hold the unknown family beside her, and stretched out her fingers to Ah Liu.

Ah Liu hurriedly put aside the maid, supported Mu Qing, and ordered: "Find a quiet and stable place to place this maid first, and then make plans when your wife returns." ”

"Ah Liu, Ah Liu......" Mu Qing grabbed her wrist, and some cold sweat broke out in her palm, and she actually slipped off Ah Liu's wrist. Yinghua is afraid that someone is going to be plotted, you go and find a horse for me, and I will chase her back. ”

Ah Liu responded and walked quickly to the courtyard gate, and after a while, there was a dispute outside the courtyard gate, and then Ah Liu turned back angrily, pointed to the courtyard gate and said angrily: "They kept the courtyard gate, saying that everyone should stay in their own courtyard, and no one can leave the courtyard without the order of Princess Qin." Fang Yinghua went out, why didn't anyone stop him? ”

Mu Qing paused, "This was originally calculated, it was meant to make me trapped here, how could you let us out." She sighed heavily, silently returned to the house, and after a long time, she stood up again, paced to the lattice, folded her hands to her chest, and muttered a few Buddha names.

"Qi Niang and relax, don't worry too much." Ah Liu followed behind her and comforted her softly, "With Yinghua's skills, there are really not many opponents, who can hurt her?" Besides, if Xuanwumen is really in danger, she will not be able to help her go. It's useless to be anxious, so let's wait here with peace of mind. ”

Mu Qing walked slowly around the house, trapped here, she had no other way but to pray to the gods and wait for the news. The water in the leakage of the paulownia glaze in the corner of the house flowed very slowly, and every drop of leakage made a ripple in Mu Qing's heart. (To be continued.) )
