Chapter 174: The city is full of black armor
The dawn of Taiping City is not destined to be peaceful, and the sound of horses' hooves is constant under the slightly dark sky. The rare black-armored soldiers were everywhere, and the city gates were closed, and no one in the city could get out of the city gates. Until the rising sun rose high, a voice in Taiping City resounded: "Those who go out will not be killed." ”
The Taiping City of Nuoda was full of black-armored soldiers, and the sound of horses' hooves resounded in the sky. The people who have lived in Taiping City for more than 20 years have never seen the unparalleled thousands of iron cavalry charging in the frontier Liang, and they have heard it again 22 years later.
Hiding in the house, you can still hear the sound of fighting in the streets and alleys, and the old man listens to the young life stop calling. Twenty-two years ago, the same scene reappeared, and people were flustered. The world only knows that the world is thousands of miles long, but they don't know that a city is a big beam in the world.
Cao Shengping, the patrol battalion, looked out of the endless Taiping City in armor, and the city tower was covered with tens of thousands of soldiers of the patrol battalion. Many generals of the forbidden army were preemptively controlled by the patrol battalion, and the current Taiping City is already under the control of the patrol battalion. The generals and soldiers of the prince's various departments who were wandering abroad were killed by the patrol battalions all over Taiping City.
The entire Taiping City is full of black armor, and the world's prosperous Taiping City is depressed. In the Lu's Restaurant renamed Peach Blossom Building in the East Market, the old shopkeeper and a white-haired old man each hold a jar of peach blossom brew. The wine is fragrant but not hearty, and the two old men of the Lu family have not been together for many years.
The old shopkeeper said: "Zhaoming really decided to bring the entire Lu family into this troubled water. ”
Lu Zhaoming, who had a simple long sword on the table, took a big sip of peach blossom brew and said: "The Huangqu Lu family was also a disciple of the Jiangmen a hundred years ago, and the family can only hide in the rivers and lakes. Now that there is a fleeting opportunity, the Lu family cannot give up this opportunity. Lu Jiao, stare at Xu Dian as you wish. As long as His Royal Highness the Crown Prince successfully ascends the throne, you will no longer be a member of the Lu family, and this restaurant will be regarded as the compensation given to you by the Lu family. ”
The old shopkeeper took a sip of the wine glass and said, "Xiaolin." ”
Lu Zhaoming lifted the long sword and said, "Although Lu Lin is your grandson and my apprentice, he has the blood of the Lu family in his body. At this time, the old shopkeeper had already understood the old man's thoughts, for decades, he had missed the forced palace twenty-two years ago, and he definitely couldn't give up the opportunity in front of him.
Twenty-two years ago, the rivers and lakes were worthy of the Liuhe Sword Lu Zhao's first place tomorrow, but he didn't know that there was another Lu Jiao swordsman in the Lu clan. When the two rushed to Taiping City, the world had decided that the new emperor would ascend the throne. did a lot of things for the king of Langya at that time, and in the end, it was the new emperor Xiao Pingyin who ascended to the throne with the support of Liu Ce and Lin Xie, who were familiar with each other.
Lu Jiao turned his back to Lu Zhaoming and said, "You are really fascinated by that devil. ”
"You say that Ni Shang is fascinated by me, but it is better that I am fascinated by her. Lu has been working hard for 20 years, and this is my last chance. Zhao'er, Yu'er, have made a foolproof plan. Just waiting for the new emperor to ascend the throne, the Lu family is no longer a martial arts family, but a return to the glory of the Lu family. ”
The two of them were silent, and when Lu Zhaoming was about to leave the guest room, he suddenly stopped and said, "I forgot to tell you, Xiaolin is now in the palace." It's not my order, but the meaning of which General Liu Xiao you like. With that, he strode away.
The old shopkeeper Lu Jiao looked at Lu Xiaozhao who was staring at the door, and the young man walked in lazily and said, "Shopkeeper, does the master really want to do it?" Master, what about you! ”
Slowly got up and said, "Xiaozhao, being a teacher is also the Lu family. If you can't come back today, the Peach Blossom Building will be handed over to you, remember to wait for the owner to come back and hand over the Peach Blossom Building to the owner. ”
Lu Xiaozhao looked at the old shopkeeper who had never been so domineering, and lifted the long sword that had never been unsheathed in his memory hanging on the wall. Lu Xiaozhao said: "Master, I know. ”
Regarding Yulian being deceived into the palace by King Qi, the old shopkeeper once had a quarrel with Mrs. Lu. In the end, he pretended not to know, and watched with his own eyes from the red sleeves to the palace. In fact, this was a transaction between Mrs. Lu and Mrs. Hongsleeve Zhaofang, a transaction that King Qi did not know about. When Mrs. Fang knew that Mrs. Lu, who was like a sister, she turned out to be the crown princess, and knew that she had no hope of life no matter what.
Lu Xiaozhao has always been angry about the old shopkeeper's insistence on staring at Mrs. Fang in the red sleeve move, and the red sleeve move has no top masters, and there is no unfavorable move for the owner from beginning to end. Now that I see the master, I seem to understand a little, everything is never accidental.
Xiao Kun, the king of Qi, led 3,000 armor troops all the way to the Vermilion Bird Gate, and the news of the emperor's death had not yet been reported from the palace. The palace garrison only had a few more sentry posts than before, and the king of Qi led 3,000 armor troops to slaughter all the way without asking the reason. The corpses and bones of the Vermilion Bird Gate were all over the field, and the three thousand armor troops resisted the forbidden army, fighting all the way and bleeding like a river.
Xiao Kun, who was riding a jujube red horse, looked at Liu Zhiming who was on the city tower, Liu Zhixing was dressed in red armor and held a spear and said, "Your Royal Highness the King of Qi, you dare to force the palace." ”
Behind him, hundreds of armor soldiers were holding steel knives, and Xiao Kun, the king of Qi, looked up at the Liu family who could not be recruited, and said: "Liu Zhiming, this king knows that your Liu family has never participated in party disputes, and now that my father has died, a country cannot be left without an owner." As long as General Liu is allowed to go, this king will ascend the throne, and you Liu Zhiming will be the minister of Fulong. ”
The forbidden army guarding the palace city stretched out their bows and arrows, and waited for the general to give an order, Liu Zhiming held a spear in his hand and said solemnly: "Please Your Highness take out Your Majesty's will." ”
Xiao Kun sat firmly on the war horse and looked at Liu Zhiming on the city tower and said: "It's still pretend, this king finally asks a word whether to let him go." ”
Staring at the tense King of Qi under the city, Liu Zhiming's eyes were blazing, and he held a spear and said, "Please take out Your Highness's will." The soldiers of the city tower stared at their generals, and the king of Qi rode around and waved his hand gently. Hundreds of soldiers behind him began to charge, and countless arrows flew down from the tower.
The palace gate was charged by hundreds of soldiers, and thousands of soldiers flocked to the Suzaku Gate Forbidden Army behind King Qi. However, the hundreds of forbidden troops were exhausted in just a moment, and the palace gate where they were stationed was turned to the ground in an instant. Liu Zhiming had no choice but to order, and the surviving soldiers withdrew from the city tower and retreated all the way.
Xiao Kun, the king of Qi, rode a war horse and sang all the way, stepping on the corpse of the forbidden army and looking at the familiar palace. Zhao Chong took the brunt of stepping out of a bloody road, bowed down and said: "The forbidden army in the palace of the prince is gathering troops, and there is no news from the prince. ”
Xiao Kun looked up at the Taihe Hall not far away and said: "Lead the crowd to control the palace city, no one is allowed to escape from the palace without permission, send a pair of soldiers and horses to the East Palace to arrest the crown princess and other subordinate officials, if there is a resistant, there will be no mercy." ”
Thousands of soldiers and horses were divided into four roads, and the king of Qi said: "Cao Shengping's 10,000 patrol battalion can enter the palace, and the edict of the king of this book is to announce the officials of various ministries to enter the court." ”
With Lu Lin Zhao Ping, a middle-aged swordsman, he stood in front of the Taihe Palace. There were three thousand imperial forest troops standing in front of him, and Xiao Yin held the holy decree and said: "The first emperor died, the king of Qi committed rebellion, and the first decree of the emperor was to kill the rebel king of Qi, and there is no forgiveness for killing." ”
The three thousand imperial forest soldiers turned their guns to guard the outside of the Taihe Palace, and Xiao Yin held the holy decree and said to the middle-aged eunuch beside him: "Xuan Baiguan enters the palace to meet him." Standing alone in front of the Taihe Palace, looking ahead, as if waiting for King Qi to appear. Now I only hope that Wang Chen, the commander of the forbidden army, can gather the forbidden army to garrison the palace, and only the holy decree in his hand has not ascended the throne, I am afraid that he will not be able to mobilize the 50,000 forbidden troops who garrison the Beijing division, and I hope that Wang Chen is not a corrupt person. In the end, it depends on whether Xun Sizhan can say that Liu Ce can be moved to enter the palace and whether Zhou Heng's arrangement can be successful in one fell swoop.
When the bell stopped, Xun Sizhan led all the officials of the East Palace to leave one after another, and several generals rushed to the barracks, but Zhou Heng was afraid that this group of generals would be able to leave Taiping City. All the masters under the command of the East Palace escorted the generals from the palace to the barracks, and the civil officials secretly wrote notices to announce the legitimacy of the crown prince in the world.
In the secret room, only Zhou Heng, Zhang Bai and Feiying were left, and Zhou Heng said: "Now I can only resign myself to fate and wait for good news." ”
Zhang Bai put on armor and said: "Brother Zhou, everything has been arranged, and there are still some things that can be done." ”
Staring at Zhang Bai, Zhang Bai immediately said: "The other subordinates of the Flying Eagle can wear armor, do you still remember General Liu's explanation to you." Feiying said solemnly: "The last general remembers that there have been three boiling eagles who have secretly infiltrated the Qinglin Palace to protect the jade beauty, and nothing is lost. ”
Hearing that there were only three people, Zhang Bai said with some unease: "Flying Eagle, the Lotus Gang handed over a thousand gangs to me, and all the twenty-four boiling eagles entered the palace to protect the jade beauty." Zhou Heng looked at Zhang Bai in surprise, not understanding that Zhang Bai cared so much about the jade beauty.
Only Zhou Heng was left in the secret room, Zhang Bai picked up the long sword and appeared in a manor, took out a jade pendant and said: "From now on, I, Zhang Bai, will be your helper, and the King of Qi will make trouble and force the palace, and you will listen to my order to enter the palace King Qin." I, Zhang Bai, pledge to support His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's accession to the throne, and the glory and wealth of your future are indispensable. ”
Everywhere there were patrol battalion armor soldiers, and an army of 30,000 troops from the east of Taiping City poured into the city gate. The 30,000 troops of the eastern camp of Taiping City entered the city gate, and the city gate was immediately closed. Cao Shengping looked at the outside of Taiping City infatuatedly, and suddenly saw dust flying in the distance, and armies from all walks of life were flocking there.
The soldiers who had been dismissed led the army to appear, led by Li Chengming, the Lanshan Bo, and scolded the patrol battalion non-stop. Tens of thousands of troops began to attack the city, and the entire Taiping City was full of fighting sounds, and the sudden appearance of heroes from the rivers and lakes was flocking everywhere.
Lu Zhao led more than 100 disciples of the Lu clan with a sword in his hand, all the way to the north gate. Although there are only more than 100 people, they are martial arts masters secretly trained by the Lu clan, and everyone is able to deal with the soldiers of the patrol battalion who have never been on the battlefield with ease.
Liu Ce put on his armor and was silent, listening to the constant fighting outside the mansion, and was sad. The emperor once said: "Whether Liu Ce is the crown prince or the king of Qi ascends the throne, he can complete the southern expedition." There is already one less Lin Xie in the big beam, and there is no room for a lack of Liu Ce. ”
In the Lin Mansion, the old man Lin Xie was sitting quietly in the courtyard, and a nameless swordsman suddenly appeared. Entering a marshal mansion was silent, Lin Xie looked at the swordsman with a withered face and said, "It's Your Majesty's intention." ”
The swordsman took out a secret decree from his bosom and said, "Your Majesty's secret decree, Da Sima takes the decree." Lin Xie took a piece of gold silk, looked at the text on it and said, "You know the content of the secret decree. ”
The swordsman said without hesitation: "I know, Da Sima is me to do it or Da Sima to do it himself." Lin Xie laughed and said, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you still don't worry about the old man." Where is Kun'er worse than the prince, is the prince unable to accommodate a dying veteran when he ascends the throne. ”
In the palace, the King of Qi led thousands of armor troops to resist the Taihe Palace, looked at Xiao Yin, who was holding the holy decree, and shouted, "Third brother, don't come unharmed. ”
The crown prince said: "Brother Qi came at the right time, do you want to see me ascend the throne?" ”
Xiao Kun, the king of Qi, smiled slightly: "The third brother is not a little early, and this king also wants to sit down, what do you think." Saying that, the armor soldiers behind him charged forward, and Liu Zhiming, who retreated back, and the commanders stationed in the palace led the surviving 1,000 forbidden troops, and the 3,000 imperial forest troops in front of the palace behind him. Without waiting for the crown prince Xiao Yin to give the order to start the charge, the king of Qi stood behind the battle between the two armies.
Suddenly, a swordsman rose into the air, and the prince's face changed suddenly, this person was the sword Wu Yufeng that Liu Zhixing said.
