Chapter 8: The White Clouds Fly Away

The white clouds flew away

But the three of them were not shocked, because one was a battle-hardened prince, the other was a high-ranking minister, and the other was a general who commanded the forbidden army. Xu Ji took a step forward and said: "Fellow soldiers, I am the Great Sima Xu Ji, this is the King of Changguang of Great Qi personally appointed by His Majesty, I will wait for ......."

Before he finished speaking, an arrow flew out of nowhere, pierced Xu Ji's back and chest, and flew out.

Gao Zhan and Yang Shouchang were stunned by this sudden upheaval, but Gao Zhan immediately reacted, ran over and hugged Xu Ji's body, sat on the ground, and called out twice, "Da Sima!" Great Sima! Xu Ji was already unconscious, and when he was dying, Xu Ji held the talisman in his hand.

The Great Sima of Daqi died in the chaos of the army.

At this time, someone in the Tun Guard army shouted: "General Qiyu, the arrow was shot from the forbidden army, they must have killed Da Sima!" ”

When the forbidden army in the palace heard this, they shouted in their hearts, and the guards present were also ready to move.

At this time, someone shouted: "He is Yang Shouchang, the leader of the rebel army, and he is the one who killed our brothers!" ”

Gao Zhan and Yang Shouchang were just about to explain, more than a dozen arrows had already flown over the Tunwei army, towards Yang Shouchang, as the commander of the forbidden army, his martial arts were naturally not low, but there were too many flying arrows, and after quickly blocking a few, one was inserted into the lower abdomen, and under the serious injury, he was no longer able to resist, and he was immediately pierced by random arrows.

Gao Zhan took a deep breath, forced himself to calm down, and forcibly took out the talisman from Xu Ji's hand, then glanced at Yang Shouchang, who was out of breath, got up and shouted: "I am Gao Zhan, the king of Changguang, and now I want to see your General Song Xiang!" ”

At this time, the partial general stepped forward and said: "Tong Xiu, the right general of the last general of the Sixiang Mountain defenders, His Royal Highness the King of Changguang, what advice do you have?" ”

Gao Zhan held high the holy decree and the bloody talisman, and said: "On the orders of Your Majesty, I hereby send a decree to Song Xiang, the general of the Sixiang Mountain Tun Guard, and the four partial generals on the left and right, where is your General Song?" ”

Tong Xiu dismounted, bent down and arched his hand: "The armor is on the body, I can't pay full salutes, General Song is exterminating the traitors on the side of Yuanmen, it should be over now, please go with the last general to see General Song." ”

"Good!" Gao Zhan glanced at Tong Xiu and walked with his head held high.

Tong Xiu followed closely with his own soldiers, carefully protecting the prince in front of him, and guided him to Song Xiang's Chinese army tent, and said: "Please Your Highness, later, the last general has already sent someone to invite General Song!" ”

"Good!" Gao Zhan and Tong Xiu exchanged glances, and breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts.

After a while, four generals came into the big tent, one in front and two followed, full of blood.

"I've seen His Royal Highness King Changguang!" The four generals saluted.

"Generals are exempt, how is the battle situation outside?" Gao Zhan was anxious.

Song Xiang reported: "Your Highness, the rebels have a total of 800 people, and they have all been wiped out, and they are now counting the casualties of our army and cleaning up the battlefield!" ”

"All exterminated? Can there be a live mouth? Gao Zhan stepped forward and asked.

"Even the rebel leader Yang Shouchang has no survivors, and a few have been arrested, but they were prepared in advance and committed suicide by taking poison." Song Xiangyu reported.

"It looks like it's been premeditated for a long time!" Gao Zhan sighed, and then said: "Your Majesty has a will, please accept the order!" ”

"The last general will take the order!" Four generals got down on one knee.

The decree said: "The great Sima Xu Ji, colluding with Yang Shouchang, the commander of the forbidden army, is plotting to usurp and hold me hostage, and the situation is extremely critical!" Now Gao Zhan, the king of Changguang, announced the decree on my behalf, and gave the transfer of troops and tiger talismans, ordering all the defenders of Sixiang Mountain to be controlled by the king of Changguang, and quickly exterminate the rebellion! Except for this decree, no other decree shall be proclaimed! Chin this! ”

"The last general will take the order!" After the four of them kowtowed, Song Xiang respectfully held the holy decree and looked at it carefully with the other three.

At this time, Gao Zhan had already taken out the tiger talisman and said, "General Song, the talisman is here, and you still need to check it!" ”

Song Xiang took out the tiger talisman from his arms, and the two tigers matched two as one, and it was confirmed!

At this time, Tong Xiu said: "General, the holy decree and the talisman are here, we ...... it."

Song Xiang asked a little puzzled: "May I ask the prince, Xu Ji colluded with the forbidden army just now, how could he be killed by the forbidden army just now, and besides, the will was not stamped." One of them says that the rest of the decrees shall not be proclaimed...... What is the meaning? The last general doesn't quite understand! ”

"Confused!" Gao Zhan's decisive momentum came out, and he continued: "The forbidden army is His Majesty's forbidden army. It's not him Yang Shouchang's, Yang Shouchang can only deceive part of it with tricks, isn't there anyone loyal to His Majesty in it? The arrow just now must have been shot by His Majesty's order. There is also His Majesty who was rebellious and coerced, and wrote two edicts, this king took the secret decree, and the other copy is here. ”

Gao Zhan took out another holy decree from his bosom and gave it to Song Xiang. The four men still looked at it carefully.

"General, I don't have the opportunity to see what the imperial pen looks like, but the handwriting of the two holy decrees seems to have been written by one person, although this one is stamped with a seal, but the handwriting of the secret decree is a little sloppy, as if it was written in a hurry." Tong Xiu said.

Song Xiang was half-convinced, Tong Xiu's hand had already grasped the handle of the knife.

……

"Okay, since Your Majesty has a decree, then I will be dispatched by His Highness!" Song Xiang said suddenly.

"Yes!" The remaining three generals saw the coach's order and immediately complied.

Seeing this, Gao Zhan immediately ordered: "Okay! In that case, the generals should each bring their own men. Follow this king into the palace and rescue His Majesty and his clan relatives Wenwu! ”

"Yes!"

Subsequently. 20,000 people in Sixiang Mountain defected, and the palace was blocked.

Gao Zhan rode his horse in command of the Chinese army. Although the Tun Guards did not have siege equipment such as ladders, the forbidden army only had the advantage of the palace wall, and Tong Xiu ordered someone to cut down a big tree as a battering ram, and after a while, he crashed open the palace gate. The Tun Guards swarmed in and fought with the Forbidden Army.

The combat effectiveness of the forbidden army is really strong, but there are only 5,000 people, and they fight with 20,000 guards for most of the night, and they fight until dawn, and they have almost no combat effectiveness. Less than a hundred people were left huddled in the main hall of the palace.

At this time, Gao Zhan had a cold face. With a sword in hand, he steadily came to the door of the palace and ordered: "Let the people inside come out, the royal family will go to the harem, and the minister will go to the side hall." ”

"Yes!" Tong Xiu immediately went forward and shouted: "Your Majesty, now the rebellion has been suppressed by us, in order to ensure everything, the prince has an order, the royal family is invited to the harem, and the ministers are invited to the side hall." With a wave of his hand, his soldiers and horses immediately rushed into the palace and invited the clan relatives and ministers to where they should go.

Then Tong Xiu came over to report: "There are only His Majesty and Concubine Man in the palace of the prince." ”

Gao Zhan nodded and said to Tong Xiu: "General Tong, how many people are there in the garrison of Sixiang Mountain?" ”

"Lord Qiqi, according to a rough estimate, there are still 10,000." Tong Xiudao.

"Good! You led your men and horses, and the original Yang Shourong's men and horses were also at your disposal, guarding the main hall, harem and side hall, and no one was allowed to enter! Violators are punished as rebellion. The herald General Song led the rear general Sun He to garrison the periphery, and the left general Li Ding cleaned up the battlefield and cleaned up the remnants! ”

"Yes!" Tong Xiu immediately went to give the order.

"And!" Gao Zhan stopped Tong Xiu, who had just turned around, and said in a low voice: "Hurry up and find a person dressed as a deacon in the palace, in his thirties, delicate and weak, named Lan Jun, bring it to me immediately after finding it, and you must not let him run away!" ”

"Yes!" Tong Xiu immediately went to carry it out.

Gao Zhan looked at the palace, calmly pushed the door and walked in.

In the main hall, it was a mess, and Gao Yan sat on the dragon chair, holding a sword in one hand and Man'er's hand in the other.

When Gao Zhan approached, Gao Yan sneered: "Jiangshan is yours?" ”

Gao Zhan stopped and nodded: "En!" ”

"Then this woman is yours too?" Gao Yan pulled the man'er and put the sword across the jade neck.

"She was originally mine, you snatched it from me!" Gao Zhan's eyes were full of cold light.

"What if I don't want you to get it?" On the jade neck, there are already blood beads falling, a beautiful face, expectant eyes, and a full of tenderness.

"You and I are compatriots of the same mother, I didn't want my mother to be sad, after you go back, if you pass down the edict of Zen, I will ensure that you will be safe for the rest of your life." Gao Zhan said calmly.

"Hahaha...... Hahaha...... "In the main hall, the sad long laughter did not stop, and the sword of the Son of Heaven had already landed!"

The water of the Yellow River is long, and it has never been broken. The eternal rolling to the east passed, and the eternals rose and fell many times, all into the depths of the sea......

On a fishing boat, a Confucian person, with his hands behind his back, looked at the turbid waves of the rising sun in the east, and his eyes were profound. This person is none other than Mr. Lan, the new monarch of the Qi Kingdom today, Gao Zhan, who is secretly looking for.

"Helper, it's getting more and more poisonous these days, so you better go and rest in the cabin." The fisherman who drove the boat said respectfully.

Mr. Lan smiled slightly and said, "Are you afraid that I will be seen?" ”

"Don't worry, this water and land are full of our people, and Gao Zhan's people can't leave when they come." The big man next to Mr. Lan said.

"Your brother is known as the wind and thunder on the river, this is in the Yellow River, not your territory!" Mr. Lan quipped.

"Helper, according to what you say, when we get to the sea tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, we will be teased by the fish and shrimp in the sea?" The boatman laughed.

"The big ships of the sea are already waiting for us. I don't know what happened to Mr. Shen Mian? Mr. Lan was slightly worried.

"Don't worry about the gang leader, Mr. Shen Mian's disguise technique is unique in the world, not only pretending to be the commander of the forbidden army that day, but also making a dead Yang Shouchang and throwing it to Song Xiang, and leaving that night, there are also brothers in the gang to escort him on the road, there must be no problem." The big man on the side said.

Mr. Lan nodded.

"Helper, you haven't been to sea yet, have you?" The boatman asked.

"The territory of Qi ends in the East China Sea, the land of Qilu, it was originally a saint's education, but the people of Li have been in a state of drowsiness for a long time, this detour to the sea, is to have a good taste of the rivers and mountains here, maybe the next time you come, it will be a thousand rides!"

The white clouds are gone......
