Chapter XXVIII

After Shi Cundao said this, everyone was silent for a while, and Pu Qixiong suddenly said: "How many people in the army know about the assassination of Ma Jiyue this time?" ”

Shi Cun said: "Only the old man and Di Zai know. ”

Pu Qixiong said: "Well, that means that this internal annihilation has already calculated the time and told Haggis of our assassination plan in advance. ”

I said, "And Haggis is so well prepared that it would take at least a day or two to dig that huge trap." ”

Shi Cundao slapped the table and said: "The most terrifying thing is this, we were actually played with by this internal annihilation!" ”

Li Jian said: "Could it be that we made a mistake somewhere, and Hegis took advantage of the suspicious tactics to use?" For example, if you inadvertently leak the news, there is actually no internal annihilation? ”

I said: "No, before Su Jianshen and I went to Heijisi Xinjing, someone had already told Ma Jiyue about our plan of action, and he got the news that he designed this plan in the plan, there must be internal annihilation, and this person's status is not low - the people who know our previous plan are at least generals above the rank of captain." ”

Shi Chi interjected: "I have a doubt: the main purpose of Hejisi's release of Ma Jiyue's fake news is to bind Shenwei or has Di Zai and Su Jianshen been counted together a long time ago?" ”

Su Jing said: "I'm afraid that I have long expected it, if it is purely for Deputy Huang to lead them, Hegis can only ambush tens of thousands of horses, with the ability of the four great masters, it is ready to be used against me." Su Jing said to Huang Yifei, "I said this, I hope Deputy Commander Huang will not be surprised." Huang Yifei nodded and said, "Don't dare, I also think that Su Jianshen is right." ”

Pu Qixiong said: "Using four sword masters to block two sword gods, Hegis can't help but be a little bigger, aren't they afraid of self-defeating?" ”

I stood up and said, "Maybe they won't go when they see me." ”

Pu Qixiong said: "What is the truth of this? ”

I said, "Let me tell you a secret - of course, it won't be a secret in the future, my sword qi is sometimes and sometimes there, and this has been deduced by Hejis, so they have prepared enough strength to deal with a sword god." ”

Pu Qixiong sighed, thought for a while and said: "Let's sort it out from the beginning, that is to say, Ma Jiyue is still at the beginning of Xinjing, let's fall into the Hejisi Yan step by step, this internal annihilation first let Ma Jiyue avoid the killing of the two sword gods in advance, and then convey the false news to my emperor, he knows that His Majesty will definitely send the Binding God Guard to strangle with all his strength, and he has to calculate the time for the two sword gods to rush back to the border from Xinjing, and the last step, he knows that Di Zai will probably not be able to accompany this operation, Therefore, the intention is to let the Bound God Guard and Su Jianshen fall into the net, once this matter is successful, the strength of our coalition army will be greatly reduced! ”

Everyone was horrified when they heard this, and Shi Chi sighed: "If this is the case, then this person's scheming is really powerful, all of this is a thousand miles apart, just in terms of time, half a day early and half a day late is enough to cause his plan to fail, Hegis did not succeed can only be said to be unlucky, and he met when Di Zai's sword qi just happened to be used." ”

I said: "Maybe it's not just a matter of bad luck, after the four great masters formed a formation, they were probably prepared to clash with me head-on, but I didn't expect my sword qi to be so strong, to be honest, if it wasn't for me and Kumei Shitai breaking their formation from behind, even if my sword qi was aura, it wouldn't be so easy to rush out of the formation." ”

Everyone looked at each other again, and Shi Cun said, "I came to you to find out this person. He added, "Of course, everyone here is deeply trusted by the old man." ”

Kumei smacked the taste, got up violently and said, "This is your Honglie Empire's own business, why are you looking for people from our daughter country?" Could it be that you suspect that the person who annihilated us in our daughter country? ”

The old mother pulled her and said: "Mrs. Shi is angry, Marshal Shi came to us to show trust, as for the matter of internal annihilation, there is nothing wrong with being open and honest." ”

Shi Cun said: "Thank you General Zhao for your understanding. ”

Kumei was dissatisfied: "The assassination of Ma Jiyue is here, and the people who know about our daughter country are here, could it be that Marshal Shi is suspicious of poor nuns?" Or is it that Su Jing, the little girl, betrayed herself? ”

Shi Diyang secretly glanced at Su Jing, clasped his fists and said to Shi Cun: "Grandfather, the child has something to say." ”

Shi Cun said: "Then you just say!" ”

Stilyan said: "From the current situation, it seems that our information is still being sent out, but there is still wrong information sent back, and the agency responsible for the transmission of information is in my Honglie Kyoto, so the problem is most likely to be in this link, but this person's name is not daring to say." ”

Shi Cundao glared at him and said, "If there is anything you dare not say, we are just preliminary speculations, and the speaker is not guilty!" ”

Shi Diyan said: "Yes, it has always been Gu Taishi who is responsible for intelligence collection, only he can have this kind of convenience, he knows the situation in our army well, and we believe the information he sent, if he is making trouble, then all this is reasonable." ”

Shi Cundao and I glanced at each other, and both nodded secretly, Shi Cundao was already suspicious of Gu Taishi, and everyone was not surprised when Shi Diyang said this, the reason is very simple, he can make Hong Liejun so passive, and there is only Gu Taishi who thinks about it, and everyone present is from the Shi family, so he doesn't have to worry too much about speaking.

Pu Qixiong said: "After this matter is investigated, Gu Taishi will naturally be unable to escape the blame, the key to the problem is whether he has been deceived or has he betrayed?" ”

Stilwell said: "Before the fifth brother and Su Jianshen rushed to Xinjing, Gu Debiao was also present, and he was indeed suspected of betraying information!" ”

Shi Cundao was stunned and said, "What about Gu Debiao? ”

Stilwell said: "How many days ago did Gu Debiao return to Beijing, grandfather forgot?" ”

Shi Cundao immediately said to Shi Dong: "You immediately write another note, report the things we are worried about to the emperor truthfully, and copy a copy of the contents of the letter and send it to your second brother, so that he can pay attention to Gu Taishi everywhere, and then there is, from now on, the information sent by Gu Taishi should not be trusted, and it will be decided after everyone discusses." ”

Shi Dong said: "Yes! ”

Stilwell said: "But Ma Jiyue did go to the border at the beginning, but this information of Gu Taishi is not false. ”

Shi Cun said: "But don't forget that his information arrived a day late, which can also be explained as a deliberate attempt to win our trust." ”

Huang Yifei gritted his teeth and said: "Please also ask the old marshal to find out the cause as soon as possible, my brother must not die in vain!" ”

Shi Cundao's face was ugly, and he said angrily: "Find out this old man who is annihilated from the inside, and he will definitely be cut by a thousand knives!" Hey, we've lost a lot this time! He said to me, "Gorou, tell us more about yesterday's situation." ”

I was just about to speak, when a spy ran into the door, knelt down in front of me with an envelope in his hands and said, "Report to the major general, there are people in the camp of Hegis who are flying arrows and passing on the book, and the words are only handed over to the major general." ”

"Camp Hagis Big?" Shi Cundao leaned forward and said, "Gorou is careful of deception. ”

My heart moved, slowly opened the envelope, opened the letter gall, and saw that the handwriting on it was vaguely similar to the letter sent yesterday, and I only felt my scalp tingle in front of everyone's eyes, what should I do now? At this moment, I am illiterate, and I can't hand it over to my mother and Su Jing in public, if there is any unfavorable information on the letter, I can't give it to Shi Cundao.

My palms were full of sweat, and I forced myself to pretend to browse line by line, and Shi Cundao saw that I was silent: "Goro, read." ”

"Oh, uh......"

Shi Cundao became more and more anxious: "What the hell is going on, show me!" The others were also curious, and they all craned their necks to look at my hands.

At this moment, I heard someone at the door of the tent shouting: "The capital is six hundred miles urgent!" Flash to Marshal Shi's account! ”

As soon as Shi Cundao heard that he was in a hurry for six hundred miles, he knew that something was wrong in the capital, so he hurriedly walked down the handsome case, and the figure at the door flashed, and the messenger rushed in with a rolling belt, and saw Shi Cundao standing in the middle, and knelt at his feet with a puff and shouted: "Generalissimo, it's not good!" ”

Shi Cundao grabbed him by the collar and lifted it, took the letter paper with the special mark from his hand, and before he could open it, he saw that the messenger had already cried and shouted: "Master Gu...... He...... He mutinied! ”

"What?" Everyone gasped, Shi Cundao was stunned for a moment, and then grabbed the messenger's collar and shouted, "Where did he come from?" ”

The messenger breathlessly said: "Gu Taishi instructed Gu Debiao, the commander of the Great Inner Guards, to launch a mutiny of the Imperial City Praetorian Guard!" ”

Huang Yifei jumped up suddenly: "Gu Debiao! Then he asked, "What happened to the emperor?" ”

The messenger said: "The emperor who set off on his humble duty is under the protection of the lords of the bound gods, and now the imperial city has been broken, and the emperor is uncertain!" ”

"Oops!" Huang Yifei screamed angrily and roared urgently, "Wang Yishan, quickly assemble the Binding Divine Guard, and follow me back to Beijing to rescue the driver!" ”

Shi Cun said: "Wait! Ask first. He bowed his head and asked the messenger, "How many men are there?" ”

The messenger said: "The forbidden army plus the reserve battalion is about less than 10,000 horses. ”

Shi Cundao said angrily: "There are more than 30,000 people in the garrison camp on the outskirts of Beijing, how did Gu Yi succeed? ”

The messenger said in a panic: "Gu Taishi seized the opportunity, he used the time of the garrison battalion stationed in the suburbs to close the gate of the capital, and then went to attack the imperial city, and he entered it within half a day!" ”

Shi Dong was shocked: "How is my second brother?" ”

The messenger said: "The incident said that General Shi Fei happened to be training troops outside the city, and now he is leading people to attack the capital, but he can't attack it for a long time, and he is from General Shi to report the news, and ask the marshal to return to Shiqin King quickly!" ”

Shi Cundao calmed down at this time and said: "At this moment, Huishi will inevitably be counterattacked by Hejis, and when the three border cities are not guaranteed, I Honglie will open the door wide - I understand, the main purpose of Gu Yu's fake news is to lure away the Binding Divine Guard to take the opportunity to make a move, and the emperor has fallen into the plan to divert the tiger from the mountain!" ”

Huang Yifei hurriedly said: "Then only the first class will return to the court, and the emperor's safety is at stake!" ”

Shi Cun said: "How many guards were there around the emperor when you left?" ”

Huang Yifei said: "There are only three groups of people on duty. ”

Shi Cundao pondered for a moment and said: "I hope the emperor is peaceful, and King Qin won't need too many men and horses-Pu Qixiong, you take 50,000 cavalry to the capital to help Shi Fei attack the city in the starry night, and the army can't move yet!" Otherwise, you and I will become sinners for the ages. ”

The messenger said: "Please also ask the marshal to bring more siege equipment, General Shi Fei just suffered from not having siege equipment." ”

Huang Yifei's eyes were red, and he shouted: "We have to take the first step and swear to kill Gu Yi's father and son!" ”

Shi Cundao turned his head and asked me, "Goro, what does the letter from Hagis say?" ”

Taking advantage of this time, Su Jing had already helped me read the letter, and the content of the letter was to the effect that Gu Taishi wanted to be unfavorable to Zhu Xiaofeng and reminded Hong Liejun to rescue quickly. Nothing else, I shook the letter and said, "This is what the letter says, there is no name, no surname, and nothing can be seen." ”

Puchon said: "It can't be some conspiracy of Hegis again, right?" ”

Shi Cun said: "Even if it is, you have to save the driver first." ”

I said lightly: "No need, it's appropriate for me to do this alone." ”

Shi Cun said: "What do you say? ”

I said: "Now it's all clear, Gu Taishi cooperated with Hegis to transfer the main force of the Binding Divine Guard, in order to seek the dynasty and usurp the throne, and everyone will be down-to-earth, our army really can't move, if the old general Pu rushes with siege equipment, he will inevitably be dragged down, as for Deputy Commander Huang, you Binding Shenwei still need to stay in the army to protect the marshal, and the four great divisions of Hegis are eyeing each other, and they can't be allowed to take advantage of it." ”

Shi Cun said: "But how can you go if your sword qi is not effective?" ”

I said, "I have an oolong qi to reach the capital in two days at most, and even if I sit and wait for the sword qi after I join my second uncle, it will save you more time than you traveling a long distance." ”

Shi Cundao thought for a long time with his hands behind his back and said: "This is indeed the best way at present. ”

Huang Yifei said: "Then what are you waiting for, go quickly!" ”

I shouted outside the tent: "Zhang Shilei, prepare the horse!" ”

The old mother said: "Marshal Shi, what do you need our daughter country to do, just ask." Su Jing also said: "Your country has suffered a mutation, and the younger generation should have helped him, but unfortunately the serious injury has not healed, please don't be surprised." ”

Shi Cundao sighed and said, "Let the two of you laugh, we can handle it ourselves." "There has been such a big change in the Honglie Empire, and in front of foreigners, the generals are all depressed, but after all, they are all experienced in a hundred battles, once the plan is set, they have temporarily stabilized their positions, but everyone's expressions are terrifying. Today, the fate of the Honglie Empire is completely out of control, like a boulder hanging from the top, either escaping death or suffering annihilation, but it is no longer at the disposal of man.

There was a neighing of horses outside the tent, everyone stood up solemnly, and walked out with me in their arms, Shi Cundao took my hand and said, "Goro, the rise and fall of the Honglie Empire is once again in your hands." I whispered, "Grandpa, what if...... I mean in case ......" Shi Cundao knew what I wanted to ask, and whispered in my ear: "In case the emperor has three long and two short, you remember to assist your second uncle in controlling the situation in the capital, and eliminate all evil to Gu Taishi and others!" Grandpa's most important task now is to stabilize the border, the imperial court is kind to our historian, for the sake of the old Zhu family, we only have four words. ”

"Okay, I see."

After saying goodbye to me one by one, the historians stood outside the tent and no longer sent each other. I flew on the horse, my mother and Su Jing naturally stood beside me on the left and right, and my mother turned her back to Shi Cundao and the others and said to me: "Yangyang, we have just formed an alliance with the Honglie Empire, Zhu Xiaofeng can't have an accident, otherwise it will be chaotic, you are right to save him, but remember to protect yourself as the first priority." ”

Su Jing said: "I can't accompany you this time, you have to be careful!" ”

I pretended to be official and said loudly: "Thank you two auspicious words, I remember them all." Kumei hung the Qingxuan sword next to the saddle, lowered her eyebrows and lowered her head: "Amitabha, Buddha bless." In private, he whispered, "Master, the Buddha is unreliable, take care of yourself!" ”

I hugged my fists at everyone, bowed my head and said to Oolong: "Man, let's go and save your old master, you will have to work harder in a while!" "Let's beat the horse and leave.

The black wind swept out of the coalition camp in general, and it didn't take much time to leave the city of Shinshu, this afternoon had arrived at another city pass, and I ran until late at night before I rested at the post station, while letting the oolong gather horsepower while ordering the post to rush to the next level to drink open the city gate, when I changed horses and rode out of the post station, only let the empty body of the oolong to keep up, this beast saw that I was "looking for a new love" actually knew jealousy, and kept making the little surname lose his temper, and when the horse was slightly tired, I quickly got on the oolong again, and ran non-stop along the way, By the next morning had run more than half of the distance, at this rate, at the latest one night I will be able to reach the capital, the oolong is really a miracle horse, I have not changed horses since the first post station, not only has no complaints, but can always maintain a constant speed, like a tireless herbivorous motor.

Late at night, I and the Oolong Horse were galloping in the vast barren grass, Leng Ding felt that the dantian was hot, and the sword qi was instantly harvested, spreading all over the limbs and hundreds of remains, and my body was light, and I actually floated up from the horseback, and I couldn't help but be overjoyed. Oolong felt that something was wrong, stopped and looked back suspiciously, I stood on top of its head and pointed in the direction of the capital and said loudly: "You go by yourself and meet me at the city gate!" "This beast knows the surname of a human being, and he is not surprised by me, so he spread his hooves and ran towards the capital.

I urged the sword qi, looking at the fire dozens of miles away in front of me in an instant, and when I fell, I saw torches flowing everywhere above the capital of the Honglie Empire, and some people did not live in the city by throwing arrows and stones to defend the city, and the city was also brightly lit, but there were thousands of people desperately attacking. I have seen a lot of attacks and defenses at the city gate, usually tens of thousands of hundreds of thousands of large battles, around the gate of the capital at this moment, the battle of less than 10,000 soldiers is unprecedentedly tragic, compared to the scene outside the city of Xinzhou, it is not inferior, but there is a different kind of heroic.

I lowered my altitude and landed on the besieging side, shouting in mid-air: "Is it the brother of the garrison battalion?" Tell General Shi Fei to come and see me quickly! ”

Those soldiers were already stunned, and then they saw a person hanging in the air, and someone was immediately surprised: "It's the Sword God General who has arrived!" The emperor is saved! In the midst of the chaos, Shi Fei rode up to me and said in a hoarse voice, "Is Di Zai you?" ”

I hurriedly landed, Shi Fei also jumped off the horse, he was not wearing a helmet, his hair was messy and his face was black, he came over and grabbed me and said, "Di Zai, help me attack the city!" There was already some anxiety in his expression.

I pressed his hand and said, "Second uncle, the siege is not busy, let me ask the situation first - where is the emperor now?" ”

"How do I know, but looking at the way they defend the city, Gu Yi shouldn't have succeeded yet!"

I said, "That's easy, I'll go into the city immediately to find the emperor, how many soldiers and horses do you have at present?" ”

Shi Fei pointed to the head of the city and said: "There are nearly 2,000 on it, the city doesn't know, these bastards know that once we go in, they will not die well, and they will defend the city one by one, and the second uncle and I have more than 30,000 people left to fight todayβ€”β€”" He suddenly grabbed me and said, "You're right, you leave us alone for now, hurry into the city to find the emperor!" ”

I thought to myself, if Gu Yu has 10,000 horses and Shi Fei has 30,000, then Gu Yu occupies the city head and really chokes the key to victory, Shi Fei's people have no siege tools, and they have fought from 30,000 to 10,000 in five days and five nights.

I couldn't help but say: "Gu Debiao is in command of the Praetorian Guards, how could they rebel?" ”

Shi Fei slapped his thigh and said: "The Gu family's father and son have mastered the palace ban for decades, and the Praetorian Guards have already trained them to become private soldiers, but it's a pity that the emperor didn't notice it!" Your second uncle and I derelict our duties, and we deserve death! ”

I hurriedly said, "Don't worry, I'll open the city gate for you." ”

Shi Fei said: "It's important to find the emperor first!" ”

"It's okay, it's a matter of minutes, I just need to help you open the city gate and then go to find the emperor's whereabouts." Saying that, I flew to the top of the city, waved my palm and pressed those fireheads, hundreds of defenders were suddenly shocked by my sword qi, I didn't have time or patience to clean up one by one, so a drift came to the inside of the city gate, condensed in the air and pulled out the Qingxuan sword to the door and swiped slightly, the two abbots opened the big iron gate of Fangyuan, so that the rebels in the door hole and Shi Fei's garrison came face to face, Shi Fei was stunned, and then he got on the horse and drew his sword to command his subordinates to rush into the city, and the two sides started a frontal battle under the city gate, I flew to Shi Fei's side and said, "Second uncle, I'll leave it to you here." ”

Shi Fei said sharply: "Don't worry, none of the rebels will survive." ”

I condescendingly helped him to flick down a few dark arrows, and the figure had come to the sky above the imperial city in a flash, as I looked down, I couldn't help frowning deeply, how magnificent and majestic the palace of the Honglie Empire was before, and now it has fallen into a mess, in the palace compound, the rebels in the west and the east are searching and checking from house to house, and the palace maids and eunuchs are running and crying and fleeing, but wherever there is an empty hall or building or something like that, the rebels are too lazy to search carefully and throw the burning torches into it, and the palace is surrounded by thick smoke, The rebels are gradually closing in from the center from all sides.

I looked at it and suddenly thought: The rebels are searching so carefully, are they looking for Zhu Xiaofeng? So he hasn't fallen into the hands of Master Gu yet? Thinking of this, I quietly landed in a small courtyard, seeing that the terrain should not be far from the Heart Cultivation Palace, and was about to plan the next move, when I suddenly heard someone on the other side of the wall shouting: "Find someone quickly, Zhu Xiaofeng is hiding here!" ”

(To be continued)
