Yang Shichong changed into a military uniform and Xu Fusheng Zhuoli bowed, and the other generals stood behind him.

Luoyang's outer Guocheng is already in sight, and the weather is solemn.

Four ships of the Sailor Division joined the escort, making the flotilla even more spectacular.

Yang Shichong was in good spirits and in a good mood, and said, "Has Gongzi Xu been to Luoyang?"

Xu Fusheng naturally said that he had already advanced to Luoyang, and shook his head and said, "This is the first time to Luoyang. ”

Yang Shichong laughed and said proudly: "The Luoshui below us divides the capital into two parts, north and south. The Imperial Palace and the Imperial City are located in the northwest of the city, and the streets, squares, and markets are distributed in the south and east of the city. ”

Xu Fusheng said: "Can the fleet sail directly into the city?"

Yang Shichong said triumphantly: "Not only can you drive into the city, but you can also reach any place, if you talk about the convenience of water and land transportation inside and outside, there is no city in the world that can reach the eastern capital."

In addition to Luoshui running through it, there are Dongqian River, Xigu Water, Beijin Canal, Nantong Jin Canal, Tongji Canal, Yishui, Cao Canal, Dao Canal, Chongjin Canal, Danshui Canal and the streets and alleys are staggered, and it is convenient for vehicles and ships to connect with each other. ”

The sluice had already been raised, and the fleet drove into the city along the Luoshui Length.

Suddenly, Xu Fusheng was surprised to see the fleet heading towards the bridge across the river, but his face was silent, only to see the bridge split in the middle and rise to both sides, revealing enough space for the fleet to sail through unimpeded.

Yang Shichong said happily: "This is the first opening and closing bridge in the Central Plains, which is from the hands of Yu Wenkai, the great master of the world's skillful arts. ”

After that, he pointed to the right bank in front of him and said, "That's the palace, let's go directly to His Royal Highness the Acting King and see how he is now." ”

At the end of Luoshui in the city, in the northwest of the outer Guo City, there is the magnificent East Imperial Palace.

The Imperial Palace is divided into two parts: the Imperial City and the Imperial Palace.

The imperial city is enclosed on the east, south and west sides of the palace city, in the shape of "concave", and the north side is separated from the palace city by a city wall.

The walls are all sandwich cities, with two walls and three walls on the north side, which further increases its defensive capabilities.

There are four horizontal streets in the east and west of the imperial city, and the three straight roads in the north and south are staggered, the central avenue is in the central axis, and the official offices of the province, the government, the temple, and the lieutenant are arranged on both sides of the avenue respectively.

Miyagi is the residence of the acting king and the place where His Majesty receives his ministers.

In the north of the palace city, there are two cities, Yaoyi and Yuanbi, which make the palace city under heavy siege and strict defense.

The fleet slowly docked at the dock outside the imperial city, and Yang Shichong said with a smile: "As long as the acting king is under our control, the Dugu family will lose its greatest support, and it will be up to us to kill or kill at that time."

However, the Dugu family is a family gatekeeper, and its martial arts masters are like clouds, and they also directly control the imperial city guards, and if we are not careful, we may capsize in the gutter. ”

Xu Fusheng nodded and said: "It depends on Lord Shangshu's ability to control Luoyang, as for the martial arts masters, several of Yang Shuai's personal guards have already listened to orders in front of Shangshu's tent this time, and they will never let them escape." ”

The big ship was anchored, and Yang Shichong took the lead and walked off the boat.

Yang Shichong stepped on the dock, and a middle-aged general greeted him, and said after giving a salute: "Everything is arranged, Shangshu, please rest assured." ”

This person is quite tall, with a horse face, a handful of goat's whiskers, and slightly narrowed eyes, making it impossible to see the real and the false.

Yang Shichong introduced: "This is Murong Jiu, the general of Xiaocai, and when I am not there, the affairs of Luoyang will be in charge of him and General Song Mengqiu. ”

Xu Fusheng's heart was awe-inspiring, just looking at the current calm situation, he knew that Yang Shichong had instructed Murong Jiu and Song Mengqiu to secretly mobilize troops and horses through special communication channels to take control of the imperial city.

After all, the old fox is an old fox, and those who can occupy a high position do not have an easy angle

Hue.

Murong Jiu stretched out his hand and said, "Lord Shangshu, please!"

Yang Shichong smiled calmly, and led the way to stride towards the end gate that entered the imperial city.

As soon as he entered the imperial city, more than ten people gathered in the end gate greeted him, except for three people wearing military generals, the others were all in civilian clothes.

There are two men and one woman, which especially attracted Xu Fusheng's attention.

The female one is like a little red in the green bushes, which is extremely eye-catching.

She is a young woman with a lot of beauty, petite and delicate, carrying a long sword, but her expression is surprisingly serious, with an unsmiling appearance, and a cold and mature charm.

It makes people feel her awe-inspiring arrogance, but it can also make people secretly rise, and if you can break through her heavy barrier to protect herself, it will be the greatest achievement of a man.

However, the reason why Xu Fusheng paid attention to her was not because of her appearance, but because she had no true qi fluctuations on her body, and if she could appear here, she must not be an ordinary person, so there is only one explanation, this woman is also a master of Yu Mansion Realm.

The other two that caught his attention were an old man and a young man.

The old man was short and fat, wearing a Buddhist robe, holding a golden bowl, his eyes, ears, mouth and nose were crowded towards the center of the fat face, looking at it should have made him laugh, but his half-squinted eyes were shining with silver, faintly revealing a Buddha aura, he should be a person in Buddhism.

The young one is a strong man of twenty-seven or eight years old, with a majestic figure, tall and handsome, a simple face, a dark and solid skin, and a strong and domineering bearing.

Xu Fusheng was surprised, it seems that the masters of the Yu Mansion Realm are not so difficult to find, but they are all around the powerful.

Yang Shichong had already hurried to catch up at this time, and said with a smile, "If you come in time, what else can I, Yang Shichong, be afraid of." ”

Xu Fusheng's heart was secretly moving, and Yang Shichong was silent, and he had mobilized all the strength in his hands.

One of the generals said: "Meng Qiu has made all arrangements according to Shangshu's instructions. ”

Only then did Xu Fusheng know that this person was Song Mengqiu, another confidant of Yang Shichong outside Murong Jiuwai, and glanced at him attentively.

This person has an ugly appearance, a pretentious and exaggerated look of loyalty on his face, giving people the feeling of wearing a mask, and Xu Fusheng does not like him at first sight.

At this time, Yang Shichong introduced Xu Fusheng to everyone to get acquainted, and after a few polite words with everyone, he restrained his smile and said: "Without further ado, let's go into the palace immediately to see the acting king and see what tricks Dugufeng can play." ”

Yang Shichong and Xu Fusheng and a group of generals and martial arts masters flew on horses, passed through the imperial city under the escort of nearly a thousand guards, and galloped towards the palace city to the north.

Along the way, there were soldiers with distinct armor, showing that the control of the imperial city had all fallen into the hands of Yang Shichong's army.

Nine miles around the city, there are palace gates on all sides.

Then the gate of heaven is located in the middle of the south wall, the south is opposite to the end gate, the north is facing the Xuanwu gate, and the main gate of the central hall runs through a central axis.

Under the roar of hooves, the entire imperial city seemed to shake.

Then the gate of heaven has been clearly visible at this time, the door is divided into two layers, up to 20 steps deep, the left and right are connected, the city wall of about 18 steps wide is connected, the city pass is as high as 12 zhang, the weather is solemn and solemn, it is daunting.

At this time, the middle door of the gate of heaven was wide open, but even the shadow of half of the doorman could not be seen.

Yang Shichong's demeanor was calm, and while riding, he said to Xu Fusheng: "Then there is still Yongtai Gate in Tianmen, and then there is the main hall Qianyang Palace, which is specially designed for holding ceremonies and receiving foreign envoys, and the acting king will never go there in normal times." ”

Xu Fusheng frowned and said, "Why aren't any of the guards in the palace city missing?"

I don't know who said later: "I was scared away." But no one laughed at it.

Yang Shichong said in a deep voice: "Dugu Peak's subordinates

The Praetorian Guard is divided into 12 guards, including Yi Guard, Cavalry Guard, Wu Guard, Tun Guard, Imperial Guard, Hou Guard, etc., each guard has about 500 people, and the total strength exceeds 5,000, and the strength cannot be taken lightly.

There is a strong city to defend, with the character of Dugufeng, we will never retreat without a fight, we must be careful. ”

Everyone responded with a bang, and the sound shook the imperial city.

In an instant, the vanguard had arrived in front of the gate of heaven, and when they were about to drive straight forward, one of them stepped out of the door with a hand, and laughed: "Lord Shangshu dares to force the imperial city, does it have to rebel?"

Xu Fusheng looked at it attentively, this person was extremely handsome, and his bearing was magnificent, which was definitely not something that ordinary people could have.

Standing alone outside the palace, there is a feeling that a husband is at a loss.

Xu Fusheng moved slightly, and the vitality of heaven and earth probed towards this person, but he was like a mud cow entering the sea, and there was no reaction at all.

The man looked at Xu Fusheng slightly, the true qi in Xu Fusheng's body faintly broke out of the formation, Xu Fusheng took a deep breath, and the Tai Chi heart method was running, and then slowly stabilized.

Xu Fusheng was shocked, although he did not break the Yu Mansion, but he also touched the threshold of martial arts, he didn't expect that this person could trigger the movement of the true qi in his body just by looking at him.

This is the first time that someone has given him such an unfathomable feeling, except for the Dao Court Master. This person and the feeling given to him are not the same as the Dao Court Sect Master, if the Master Sect is a piece of nothingness, this person is a lake, no matter how powerful it is, there is always a limit.

The man's eyes flashed with surprise, and he was about to speak.

Yang Shichong had already stepped forward with a smile and said: "Dugu's chief manager is serious, there has been a lot of rumors recently, I heard that many people want to take my Yang Shichong's head, and I, Yang Shichong, have always been greedy for life and afraid of death, so I have to protect the central people when I go in and out, so I brought a few more people;

How can you estimate the great crime of attracting soldiers to force Miyagi? Brother Wan Wangfeng should not block the palace gate, let me enter the palace to meet the military situation of the acting king.

Otherwise, maybe Yang will suspect that Brother Feng has instigated a mutiny, coerced His Royal Highness the Acting King, and forced me to wave my army to attack the city, which will not be of any benefit to everyone at that time!

Only then did Xu Fusheng know that the person in front of him was actually a member of the Dugu family, and it seemed that the martial arts masters in the Central Plains were still the majority of the family lords.

Dugu Feng took a step forward and smiled neatly: "Brother Shi Chong's desire to add sin is really powerful, how can Dugu Feng afford it."

The funniest thing is that I Dugufeng was sincere, but when I saw that Lord Shangshu suddenly returned to the court, he came to greet him, but I didn't know that I had misunderstood Lord Shangshu.

These words were indifferent and calm, and even hinted at mockery, obviously not looking at the people in front of him.

Xu Fusheng smiled dumbly and said: "Since it is specially to greet you, why didn't the Dugu chief say that Lord Shangshu returned to the dynasty earlier, but said that the soldiers were forcing the palace, but now he has come to change his words?"

Dugu Feng glanced at Xu Fusheng with contempt, and said with a smile: "This young brother has a very good face, I don't know when he became the spokesperson of Lord Shangshu?"

Let's get off the book

Yang Shichong is also powerful, and said indifferently: "I haven't introduced the manager to my Xu Gongzi, who was hired back with a lot of money, when I, Yang Shichong, am not there, the affairs of Luoyang will be handed over to him to take care of, and you will be more affectionate in the future!"

Dugu Feng didn't seem to expect that this young boy would be so valued by Yang Shichong, and he was stunned for a long time before he said: "Although Lord Shangshu has the right to select talents and appoint talents, such an important position should be...

Yang Shichong cut him off and said: "This is one of the reasons why this official wants to see the acting king, does the Dugu chief still want to block the palace gate?"

Dugu Feng laughed and said, "How could it be!

After saying that, he retreated to the door and made an exaggerated gesture of respectfully inviting inward.

Yang Shichong and Xu Fusheng looked at each other in a daze, and didn't know how to react for a while.

The deep gates of the city are like bottomless pits that can swallow anyone who breaks in.
