Chapter 997: The Contest Between Life and Death (11)
Late at night, when the lights are extinguished, the vast majority of people are already asleep, hoping to wake up the next day and have a good start.
But there are also a small number of people, but tonight is unintentional to sleep, Yu Wenzhen suddenly led 50,000 forbidden army soldiers into the city, which gave a lot of people with ulterior intentions, a blow to the head, and at the same time made another part of the people, their hearts lifted, and praised the decisiveness and resoluteness of the prince Zhao Xun.
Patrolling the city, preventing small nights, and stabilizing law and order, originally belonged to the responsibility of the Inspectorate and Jin Wuwei, but now it has been taken over by Yu Wenzhen's forbidden soldiers.
Yu Wenzhen stationed the temporary military camp in Xicheng, which is close to the imperial city, any movement in the imperial palace, or any order from Zhao Xun, can be quickly transmitted here, and Yu Wenzhen can also act and react as quickly as possible.
When the time comes, this is the darkest time of the day.
The quiet camp of the forbidden army suddenly burst into flames, and countless fires were lit one after another.
The noise did not last long, and in less than half an hour, everything was quiet again, and at this time, the gate of the barracks opened, and countless soldiers began to walk out of the barracks in a neat line.
Hengshan King Zhao Ke and Yang Youan were at the forefront of the team in parallel, and behind them, there were also left Xiaowei general An Guoqing, right Xiaowei general Hu Zhibing and other generals of the forbidden army, so many people, but Yu Wenzhen, the general of the forbidden army.
"Lord Wang, after tomorrow, you will stand on the top of the world."
Yang Youan bowed to Zhao Ke.
Zhao Ke's face was heavy, he stepped forward to help Yang You'an, then looked at the people behind him, and said loudly: "Success or failure is in this move, if you can succeed, you will share the world with this king." β
"It was for the prince to serve his life."
Zhao Ke stared at everyone for a moment, then nodded, and waved his big hand: "Enter the city." β
Zhao Ke's entry into the city naturally does not refer to Fengjing, they are already in it, and this entry into the city can only be the imperial city.
The first to oppose was not the King of Chu, nor the King of Wings, but was ignored by everyone, Zhao Ke, the king of Hengshan, who had just turned sixteen this year, and his sudden coup d'Γ©tat would probably surprise everyone.
The forbidden army was divided into two parts, Zhao Ke and An Guoqing led the main force of 30,000 forbidden troops and went straight to the imperial city, and the remaining 10,000 troops were led by Hu Zhibing, with a clear goal, towards the pre-designated family and ministers.
Li Xun also couldn't sleep tonight, his mind was upset, he was thinking a lot in the study, and finally read the book for two hours, his mood was a little calmer, and he was almost ugly, so he was sleepy, and he didn't go back to his room, so he fell asleep on the small collapse of the study.
The door was violently kicked open, Jiang Daxiong was the first to rush in, hearing a loud noise, Li Xun was a little startled, and he turned over and got out of bed, he kept the sword in his hand before he went to sleep, and quickly pulled out the sword at this time, and his body subconsciously retreated, leaning against the wall.
A person was suddenly awakened, and there was a short period of chaos, Li Xun had already reacted at this time, and saw clearly that it was Jiang Daxiong, so he was greatly relieved.
At this time, Hua Shaosheng and Hu Zengsi also entered the study.
Li Xun glanced at the three of them, all of them were in armor and holding weapons, and the faces of the three of them were very heavy and ugly.
The sound of fighting outside was already clearly audible, Li Xun thought of something, and asked in a deep voice, "The Wing King is reversed?" β
Hu Zengsi took a step forward and said in a deep voice: "Lord, it's Zhao Ke who is reversed." β
Li Xun was stunned, and didn't react for a while, Hua Shaosheng hurriedly added: "Zhao Ke, the seventh son of the emperor, King of Hengshan, led the forbidden army to launch a coup d'Γ©tat. β
It's not that the Wing King is reversed, but the King of Hengshan, Zhao Ke, is reversed? How is this possible.
Li Xun's first reaction was that the news was wrong, and he said coldly to Hu Zengsi: "Is your news accurate?" Zhao Ke is only sixteen years old, he is still a minor, he has few ministers to rely on, and he has no power group of his own, why should he rebel, and what qualifications does he have to rebel? β
Hu Zengsi smiled bitterly: "Lord, the news is absolutely accurate, why did Zhao Ke rebel, this subordinate really doesn't know, but we just captured a few prisoners of war, asked them separately one by one, and got a unified answer from their mouths, Zhao Ke did reverse, and has already mastered the military power of the forbidden army, half an hour ago, Zhao Kebing divided into two ways, he led the main force of 30,000 Chinese troops, and he has killed the imperial city." β
"Any news of the Prince?"
"We are already surrounded, everything is cut off."
Li Xun didn't ask too much, and strode out of the study.
There were more than fifty people standing outside, they were holding weapons in their hands, but they had no armor on their bodies, this was not Li Xun's personal soldiers, but people who were secretly guarding.
"What's going on out there?"
Li Xun asked out loud.
Hua Shaosheng said: "At least a thousand soldiers are besieging us. β
Hu Zengsi continued: "According to the orders of the lord, I brought nearly five hundred elite guards here, relying on the favorable terrain, the other party only has a thousand people, and in a short time, we can't help it." β
Li Xun looked at the more than fifty elite secret guards in front of him, Hu Zengsi noticed Li Xu's gaze, hugged his fists and said: "Lord, the other party is obviously prepared, and if you can't attack for a long time, there will definitely be a large number of reinforcements in the future, and we won't be able to hold out for long." β
Li Xun nodded, Hu Zengsi thought very thoughtfully, the other party obviously didn't expect that he had prepared nearly five hundred elite forces here in advance, so only a thousand people came, the two sides formed a stalemate, no one could help anyone, but this is only temporary, the other party's reinforcements are afraid that they will come soon, Hu Zengsi counted the most elite more than fifty secret guards, that is, they are ready to break through in advance, sit still, and hold themselves for a long time, it can only be a dead end, after all, Zhao Ke has led 30,000 troops to kill the imperial city, what is the situation of the prince now, Everyone still doesn't know that in a short period of time, there will be no reinforcements.
At this time, several secret guards led Chunniang and Zhen'er over.
Chun Niang hugged her daughter tightly, trembling her body, trembling her lips and asked Li Xun, "What happened?" β
Li Xun glanced at Zhen'er, who was pale and tightly grasping the corner of his mother's clothes, and couldn't help sighing: "It would be good if you followed the old man to the manor." β
Zhen'er wanted to speak, but Chunniang covered her daughter's mouth, and then said to Li Xun: "Li Xun, do what you want, don't be burdened by our women's family." β
"It's going to be fine."
Li Xun could only comfort him, whether there was anything wrong or not, I am afraid that even he himself is not sure.
"Lord, go quickly, I'm afraid I won't have a chance if it's too late."
Hu Zengsi said in a deep voice.
Li Xun was silent for a while, the nearly five hundred elite of the secret guards who came tonight, as well as the thirty or forty subordinates in the mansion, I am afraid it will be difficult to survive, but what can be done? Hu Zengsi must have given an order to stick to the reinforcements, maybe they all told them that the reinforcements will come soon, what they don't know is that the reinforcements will not come, at least until they are alive, they will not come, if this news is revealed, everyone's insistence may collapse immediately, when the time comes, without their resistance, Li Xun can only be a dead end, Li Xun can't bear it, but what can be done? Sometimes, when it comes to critical moments, things are often so cruel that if they don't die, they will die.
