At this time, in the Beiping City Mansion, the Zhou soldiers guarding the city, led by Luo Cheng, were patrolling around the courtyard wall. The city is now full of shouts of killing, and it seems that the enemy has launched a mutiny.

"Let's go! We went to the entrance of the government to see how the defenses were. The Yamen of Beiping City was an important place for the imperial court, and if the enemy wanted to launch a rebellion, it was impossible not to attack. Luo Cheng said after calming down.

So, he waited at the gate of the government with a few personal soldiers. At this moment, a gust of cold wind blew, and all the soldiers only felt the cold wind, and they couldn't help but shiver a few times.

Luo Yong, the captain of the guard guarding the gate of the mansion, saw Luo Cheng coming, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute: "Hello, young master!" We're ready for battle! If the enemy comes to attack, he will definitely have no return! ”

Luo Cheng nodded and smiled with him. This Rayong is his cousin of the same clan, but the blood relationship is far away, and it can be regarded as a distant side of the Luo family. He turned out to be the head of the Youzhou Iron Cavalry, and after the merger of the Youzhou Iron Cavalry and the Liaodong Cavalry, he recommended himself as a captain of the City Guard, responsible for guarding the main gate of the Beiping Mansion Yamen.

Luo Cheng and all the soldiers climbed to the gate of the palace to test, and a sentry tower was temporarily erected, looking at the movement in the big square at the entrance of the palace. It's just that he feels that there seems to be a faint fragrance in the air.

"Strange, how can there be a fresh fragrance here? Is it my delusion? Luo Cheng said secretly in his heart.

However, at this moment, the soldiers of the Zhou army guarding the wall of the palace courtyard heard the sound of fighting outside the square, and their hearts tightened, and they hurriedly picked up the bows and crossbows in their hands and stared intently ahead.

After about a cup of tea, I saw rebels dressed in all kinds of clothes and armor, pouring from the streets outside the palace in the dark, and then began to gather in the square, numbering more than a thousand. Some of these people wore the clothes and armor of the Zhou army, some wore the clothes and armor of the original Sui army, and even some wore the clothes and armor of the Youzhou army, the Hebei army, and the Shandong army.

Although I knew that there would be a rebellion in the city, when this day really came, the soldiers of the Zhou army were still a little nervous, after all, there were only more than 1,000 Zhou troops in the palace, and they had to leave people to guard the side and back doors of the palace, and there were only six or seven people who could really engage in frontal combat, could they block more than a thousand rebels? After all, the others are not pure rabble, judging from the clothes and armor they wear, they were also the regular armies of various forces in the past, and they have received good military training.

Luo Cheng stood on the sentry tower with his subordinates, looking at the movement in the square, but he was slightly excited in his heart, what happened now has not deviated from King Zhou's prediction, it is carried out according to Yuming's previous arrangement, and there seems to be no deviation.

And judging from the golden Pei banner raised by the leader of the rebels in front of him, it must be Pei Renji's father. It's just that I don't know if it's Pei Renji or his son Pei Xingyan who came to attack the government.

It's just that Luo Cheng is still very confident in guarding the mansion. After all, although the number of rebels is large, it seems that there are not many siege equipment, and although the walls of this palace are low, they are not jumpable. If the rebels don't prepare ladders, crashes and other things, and want to conquer the government like this, I'm afraid they won't be able to do it.

But at this moment, Luo Cheng suddenly snorted coldly, and then cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and his face turned pale. He held on to the pillar on the watchtower, only to feel dizzy, and the objects in front of him were shaking.

Luo Yong, who was beside him, was taken aback for a moment, and stepped forward and asked, "Young Master, what's wrong with you?" ”

A pro-soldier also stepped forward and wanted to help Luo Cheng up, but he didn't agree, only to feel that his knees were weak, and he fell to the ground and could no longer stand.

He was shocked and wanted to shout loudly, but he felt lightheaded, and he fell to the ground with no strength.

The soldiers on the sentry tower were all taken aback when they saw this, but before they could react to what was going on, they all had painful looks on their faces, and then fell to the ground.

At this time, the only person who could stand well on the sentry tower was Rayong.

Luo Cheng's brain was not stupid, and he immediately guessed that the fragrance he smelled just now must be poisonous gas, but he didn't know who poisoned it. He hurriedly opened his mouth and shouted, "Luo ...... Rayong, if you ...... If you haven't been poisoned yet, go down quickly...... Command on my behalf, and don't let the enemy attack the palace! ”。

But what Luo Cheng didn't expect was that Luo Yong stepped forward, pulled out a single knife, and put it on his neck......

Seeing this, several pro-soldiers were shocked, and they shouted loudly: "Rayong, what are you doing? ”

Luo Cheng leaned against a pillar of the sentry tower at this time, his expression painful. It's the first month of the new year, and the weather is very cold. But the beads of sweat on his forehead came out one by one. Not only did he feel weak now, but he also had a severe pain in his abdomen, and he didn't know what kind of poison this fragrance was.

He looked at Luo Yong, showed a look of pain and said, "Luo Yong, I didn't expect the traitor to be you, why did you betray King Zhou?" You are not from the Shandong Shi clan. Why take refuge in them? You must know that if King Zhou hadn't defeated Dou Jiande, would we have been able to avenge my father and second uncle? Without his governance, would we be able to prosper in Beiping City today? Why do you want to ......?"

The soldiers around Luo Cheng had fallen to the ground at this moment, and they were also looking at Luo Yong in disbelief, they never thought that Luo Yong would make such a crazy move, because Luo Yong and Luo Cheng have always had a good relationship, and they can be said to be loyal to the Luo family. Even after returning to Yuming, he didn't find out how much he complained about Da Zhou. Otherwise, he would not have been asked to take on the heavy responsibility of guarding the gate of the Beiping Mansion.

When Rayong heard this, he sighed lightly: "No, because I have to do this." ”

When Luo Cheng heard this, he said angrily: "Have you forgotten that back then, our Beiping Mansion made the people's lives miserable because of Yang Guang's expedition to Goryeo?" Now that the faint king is finally dead, the king of Zhou has established a new dynasty and built Beiping to be thriving, and in just a few years, we can follow the king of Zhou to dominate the world and become the founding hero! But you ...... now? Why is this happening? ”

He really didn't expect that his brother, who was born and died together, betrayed everyone, and the moment he said this, Luo Cheng only felt that his heart was like a knife.

"I haven't forgotten." Luo Yong's eyes showed a hint of anger and said, "Luo Yi and Luo Shou are your father and second uncle, what do they have to do with me?" After surrendering Yuming, it's good for you to hook up with his sister, and you can become Yuming's brother-in-law immediately. But what about me? I can only be a small lieutenant and watch the gate here......"

Speaking of this, the more he spoke, the more angry he became: "Why were you born as a young master?" Everyone should respect you and spoil you! And I, Rayong, am a side brother, I can only listen to you and be at your mercy? My martial arts are not necessarily worse than yours, and my brain is not necessarily stupider than yours! Why can't I have a better future? ”

Luo Yong said hatefully at this time: "And Pei Xingyan promised, as long as I am willing to follow them, I can be a general!" He has the support of the Shandong scholars, and there are a large number of supporters in the army and in the DPRK. Why can't I seek a brighter way? And to be loyal to Yuming or his descendants? ”

After that, he said to his relatives under the sentry tower: "It's done!" Come up quickly and tie up all of them! Take care of it! Go and open the gate of the government office with a few more people to welcome General Pei Xingyan's troops into the government! ”

"Nope! Rayong, you can't do that! You will ruin the hope of our Luo family and the world! Luo Cheng said angrily. At this moment, he really moved the murderous machine and wanted to kill this treacherous so-called "brother of the same clan" with a knife.

Luo Yong looked at him with a complicated look and sighed, "Young Master, this is the last time I call you Young Master like this!" If you are willing to kill the woman Yu Yuqing and surrender to Master Pei, then we can still fight side by side together. Otherwise......"

"Hehe, I'm afraid you won't have a chance to fight with anyone again!" At this time, a loud voice said coldly.

Luo Yong was suddenly shocked in his heart, the sentry tower was full of his own people, how could there be an enemy who went up to the sentry tower so easily, and he hadn't noticed it yet.

As soon as the voice came out, Luo Yong only felt that the soldiers around him were all trembling, and the sentry tower suddenly became quiet.

He hurriedly looked back, a white young man appeared in front of him with a righteous attitude, Luo Yong almost didn't believe his eyes, wasn't it Yuming?

How is this possible? Isn't Yuming already dead? So many people saw his body. But why did he come back to life? And it also appeared in the government office.

Rayong couldn't help but shudder, and subconsciously took a few steps back, until he was against the wall, and then stabilized his mind. He has realized that he and Pei Renji, Pei Xingyan, Yu Cheng and others have been fooled. fell for Yuming's plan to fake his death.

At this time, I saw Yu Ming standing with a long body, as rich as jade, he was wearing a white helmet and white armor, and a white cloak behind him, standing in front of the soldiers.

Yu Ming stood in front of more than a dozen rebels, looking like he was alone. But he just stood here casually, and the Rayong men around him were already frightened, and they unconsciously slowly retreated, but in a moment, they actually gave up one, and the end was Rayong.

Rayong's face was pale, and he felt that his tongue was stiff, and he didn't know what to say. After a while, he said bitterly: "Zhou ...... King Zhou, are you really alive? ”

He just wanted to think that it was a dream, and suspected that he was so nervous that he had hallucinations, but after he twisted the back of his hand vigorously, the sharp pain on the back of his hand told him that this was not an illusion, and the person standing in front of him was the real Yuming!
