Chapter 196: The Plan Succeeds
only heard the sound of 'ouch', the five figures fleeing in all directions disappeared without a trace, but a figure appeared opposite Ye Zitong, the man touched his shoulder with his hand, with a trace of pain on his face, and frowned: "I really can't hide it from you." ”
Ye Zitong saw Lan Feng's complicated expression, and there was some anger in his eyes, and he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment: "This person's expression is so strange, why does he look like a woman?" Looking closely, I saw that his eyebrows were clear, his eyes were like spars, and the lines on his face seemed to be much softer than those of ordinary men.
"Good!" Suddenly, there was a loud shout, followed by countless cheers, and the people of Xiao Kingdom immediately shouted when they saw Ye Zitong injuring his opponent.
Ye Zitong was not the slightest proud, she knew that her opponent's cultivation was profound, although she was hit by her crane's fingers, she was only slightly injured, and it was still difficult to determine the result of this competition.
Ye Zitong looked at Lan Feng, his fingers were slightly raised, and he was about to fly to attack, but he saw Lan Feng smile slightly: "People are very beautiful, why is their heart so ruthless?" ”
Ye Zitong was stunned for a moment, and the move he made suddenly froze in mid-air, and when he was stunned, a loud noise suddenly came from the sky, which was very loud, like a thunderbolt, which shook everyone's hearts numbly, and made more than 10,000 people in the field raise their heads together.
But I saw that far in the sky, a cluster of blooming fireworks is flying in all directions, this fireworks are extremely strange, not as radiant and brilliant as the ordinary folk colored bamboo, but to the surrounding spray of black smoke, forming thousands of black lines.
Seeing the appearance of this firework, the competition ground suddenly fell silent, and nearly 10,000 people looked at the sky together, looking a little stunned.
Before the fragment was made, another black firework exploded in the air, and the loud sound shook the airflow slightly. After this firework appeared. People seemed nervous, and a commotion began to flood the crowd.
King Xiao stared at the sky, his face was a little pale, and the expressions of the ministers behind him were also varied, both a little shocked. There was also some trepidation. Just then, the third firework exploded under the gaze of the people.
"What, what's going on?" King Xiao finally changed color, and his face was shocked and angry.
"Majesty, majesty." A terrible voice suddenly came from the palace gate, and a sergeant was covered in blood. Under the gaze of everyone, he rushed wildly, staggered and fell under the platform.
"Your Majesty, Zhu Shichong, the general of the Baiwu Pass, betrayed, led the Mingyue army from Nanyu Gorge, and opened Shaoyang City halfway. Killed Shaoyang general Luo Song, and now the army is under the city of Yandu. ”
"What?" King Xiao's face was shocked, and when he heard the news, the surrounding ministers were in an uproar, and everyone was terrified.
The fireworks that exploded in the air just now were nothing else, but warning fireworks specially made by Xiao Guo's military. A sound is a sign that there is a commotion in the city, such as a small mutiny; The second ring refers to the occurrence of serious accidents in the city, such as the outbreak of cholera; Three rings indicate that an enemy is coming. The situation is urgent.
"You, are you telling the truth?" King Xiao almost couldn't believe his ears, and asked tremblingly as he pointed to the audience.
"Fifty thousand vanguard of the enemy. The assault on the southern city has begun. The sergeant struggled to finish this, and a large mouthful of blood foamed from his mouth, and his body could no longer support it, and slowly fell to the ground.
"Quick, send someone to check it out." King Xiao shouted loudly, shocked to hear the news. He has always been steady, and he can't help but be a little flustered at this time.
Before the sergeant could be carried away, two more fast horses rushed in through the palace gate. Immediately, the knight galloped down, and exclaimed urgently: "Your Majesty." Zhang Chi, the guard of the south gate, rebelled, and the Mingyue army had entered the city. ”
"What?" As soon as the two sergeants said this, there was a sudden chaos in the stands, and even the people in the distance were in an uproar, only a quarter of an hour ago, Yandu City was still a peaceful and prosperous scene, but now it has let the army of the enemy country enter the city, such a change is simply unbelievable.
"Mingyue actually didn't declare war?" The ministers' colors changed greatly: "A dignified big country has done such a reluctant thing!" ”
"Father." The eldest prince Li De saw that King Xiao's face turned pale all of a sudden, and hurriedly said: "Without further ado, please ask my father to leave the city from the east gate as soon as possible, and Erchen and Marshal Li will lead the Imperial Forest Army to meet the enemy, hoping to stop it for a moment." ”
When the ministers heard this, they immediately became a little flustered, and the crowd on the table was noisy, and the scene was very chaotic.
King Xiao experienced the initial anger, and his feelings gradually stabilized, but he saw that he glanced at the panicked ministers, and then turned his gaze to Li Zhao: "Marshal Li, this, what is going on?" ”
"Mingyue has already hit Yandu?" Rao is Li Zhao has experienced a hundred battles, but when he heard this amazing news, his face also changed greatly, and when he saw King Xiao asking him a question, he couldn't help but blame himself very much: "Mingyue first sent a master to challenge our country, and then caused people to attack the martial arts factions, and made a big movement in Xiao State, just to confuse us and others, he expected that we would not have any suspicions, but the mainland secretly crossed into a warehouse and sent troops to attack the land of my Xiao country." ”
Li Zhao sighed: "The person who made this trick was secretive and vicious, and he was really a powerful character." But I hated that I didn't see it, so that I fell for this man's tricks. ”
"Marshal Li doesn't have to blame himself," the third prince Li Cheng was full of anger: "Who would have thought that the dignified Mingyue Great Power would be able to do such a incorruptible thing, on the surface in the name of learning to send people to challenge, but behind the scenes, they sent a large army to attack our country, even if they win this battle, they will be laughed at by the world." ”
"The bright moon is no longer as bright as the bright moon of that year," Liu Mu, who had always been silent, suddenly spoke: "A few years ago, Emperor Mingyue was old and indecisive, and he had been hesitant to make decisions about the Northern Expedition, and he had repeatedly traveled on business trips to govern the country. ”
"Today's Mingyue is ruled by the Nine Emperor Princes and Feng Nanqi, this monarch has a similar temperament and great ambitions, and he is like a tiger and wolf. It is necessary to know that the tiger is fierce and the wolf is cunning, these two people act decisively and do things informally, as long as they can seek Xiao Guo, they will never care about being laughed at. With these two people dominating the bright moon, I am afraid that even this world will be in chaos. Liu Mu was expressionless when he spoke, and his face was still dark.
"In that case," one of the ministers said hurriedly, "why don't I wait for the time being, ask Your Majesty to move south, and when the southern defenders are summoned, we will come to confront Mingyue." After the minister finished speaking, the officials nodded their heads in agreement. began to persuade King Xiao to leave Yandu.
But seeing that King Xiao frowned, he neither nodded nor shook his head at the ministers' advice, as if he was thinking about something. Liu Mu also frowned when he saw King Xiao's expression: "This time Mingyue invades in a big way. Breaking through the two cities of Baiwu and Shaoyang, all the way unimpeded, and the troops came to Kyoto in a few days, which is really strange. ”
"Yes," everyone nodded when they heard this, "the two armies of Baiwu and Shaoyang were defeated too quickly. The defenders from all over the country didn't even send some news to let the Mingyue people hit the capital, which was really unbelievable. ”
"Baiwu and Shaoyang are both Marshal Li's defense line, Zhu Shichong is subordinate to the Li Department, and Zhang Chi, who guards the southern city, is also Marshal Li's old general, how can it be so coincidental?" Li Yuan, the fourth prince with a reckless personality, seemed to have thought of something. The mouth unconsciously spoke.
"That's right, Zhu Shichong and Zhang Chi are both subordinates of Marshal Li, and they came all the way north from Baiwuguan, and they are both Marshal Li's territories, could it be ......?" When everyone was reminded, they suddenly looked strange, and they all looked at Generalissimo Li Zhao.
Even King Xiao couldn't help but put his eyes on Li Zhao's body, his eyes full of doubts.
Li Zhao saw that he had become the focus of attention. couldn't help but change color slightly on his face: "Your Majesty, do you doubt me?" ”
"How could I doubt you," he said, looking at the veteran of the battlefield with whom he had been suffering for many years. King Xiao sighed: "Hey, this happened too suddenly, I am a little disturbed. ”
Seeing this, Li Zhao hurriedly knelt on the ground: "The old minister has a long grace and has no second heart for the emperor. ”
"Father," he saw a man hurrying from under the platform. It was Li Ye who rushed to hear the news: "Zhu Shichong and Zhang Chi are suspicious because they defected to the enemy, but they can't doubt Marshal Li's loyalty for the sake of this matter." This time, Mingyue used the competition as bait, and he was not prepared to attack me. must have been planning for a long time, and Zhang Shichong and the others may have been bought by them. ”
"That's a good point." An old minister nodded majestically: "Marshal Li is loyal, and he has defeated the Mingyue army twice, saying that he defected to the enemy and killed the old minister. Hearing what this minister said, the rest of the people also agreed, saying that the generalissimo was loyal and would never betray Xiao Guo.
"If there is indeed an internal detail, this is not the time to track down, the top priority is to leave this place immediately." Li Ye knelt down on one knee and begged Xiao Wangken: "The child implores his father to evacuate Yandu immediately, as long as his father is still there, my Xiao Guo will definitely be able to make a comeback." ”
"What the second prince said is extremely true, Your Majesty should leave as soon as possible." Liu Mu looked at Li Zhao who was kneeling on the ground, hesitated for a moment, and also persuaded King Xiao.
"I, how can I leave the people of the city alone?" When King Xiao heard this, his face suddenly became a little unbearable, and he looked very hesitant.
"The second prince is right, please leave quickly, stay in the green mountains, don't be afraid of running out of firewood." Seeing that King Xiao hesitated, Li Zhao hurriedly persuaded loudly. Seeing this, all the ministers spoke one after another, all begging King Xiao to leave Yandu quickly.
King Xiao looked at the ministers kneeling on the ground, and then looked at the nearly 10,000 people under the watchtower, and finally asked, "What is the situation in the city now?" ”
"Back to Your Majesty," the two sergeants who rushed to report hurriedly said: "After the Mingyue Army entered the city, the inner city god hunting camp and the Xiying hussars have gone to fight the enemy, and the defenders of the west gate are chaotic with the enemy, and only the east gate and the north gate have not yet discovered the enemy. ”
"Without further ado, please leave quickly from the east gate," Li Zhao got up and said, exuding an extremely strong battlefield atmosphere: "I will lead the people to cut off His Majesty." ”
King Xiao looked at Li Zhao's murderous but resolute face, and nodded slowly.
"Did you already know about it?" After King Xiao left, the competition field had become a pot of porridge, Lan Feng looked at the people of Xiao who were running in a hurry, ignored Ye Zitong, who was still on the stage, and jumped to the side of the man in gray.
But seeing that the man in gray looked the same as before, his tone was very flat, and he didn't seem to be surprised by this sudden change: "Do you think that Uncle Qi sent us to Xiao Guo to issue a challenge letter, and ordered the bloodbath of all factions in the martial arts, and made such a big move here, just for show?" Uncle Qi has always done things only for the best interests, if not, how could it be worth his trouble? ”
"Then he doesn't even care if we live or die?" Lan Feng said angrily, looking very dissatisfied.
"No one asked you to come here, you wanted to come with you." The man in gray said coldly.
Lan Feng was dumbfounded when he heard this, this time he sent an envoy to Xiao Guo, and Emperor Mingyue originally only sent Bai Yu and Tong Hu, but he quietly followed him halfway.
"Since it's your own decision, it's up to you to face it, and now it's up to you to take responsibility for what you're doing." The man in gray stood up suddenly, and a murderous aura permeated his body.
Lan Feng looked up in shock, but saw that Xiao Guo soldiers had been surrounded in all directions, and a military attache raised his long sword, his eyes full of anger: "The despicable Mingyue Dog, you have used such a poisonous plan, and you will definitely be broken into ten thousand pieces today." ”
Mingyue's army invaded Xiao State, and the three men in gray naturally became the target of public criticism, these soldiers of Xiao Country obviously did not intend to let them go, everyone was angry, and they just wanted to kill three people to relieve their anger.
The man in gray stood proudly, standing up to face the many officers and soldiers of Xiao Guo, his eyes swept to Ye Zitong on the competition platform, and a trace of hesitation faintly flashed in his eyes. At this time, Tonghu was already injured, this young man's martial arts were not weak, if he helped the officers and soldiers of Xiao Guo to surround them, I was afraid that something would be wrong.
Unexpectedly, Ye Zitong didn't even look at them, his body suddenly jumped high, and he disappeared in three or two clicks. The man in gray saw Ye Zitong leave suddenly, although he didn't know why, but when he saw that the strong enemy had gone, he was slightly relieved in his chest, and said coldly in his mouth: "Be optimistic about the copper tiger." Then he greeted the officers and soldiers of Xiao Guo who were like wolves and tigers. (To be continued)
