Chapter 44: Forcing the Palace
"I don't know what the prince called me here, what did he command?" It was late at night, and Nangong Yi specially sent someone to invite Ruoxi over.
"Of course, it's a big deal with the general!" Sure enough, as expected, Nangong Yi was about to start acting.
"Oh? Looking at the prince's demeanor, it seems that he is confident? ”
The Winged King is cautious, but after so many years of forbearance, once the opportunity is placed in front of him, then he will enter a hot state.
"General Ling, you might as well take a look at this." Nangong Yi took a delicate small porcelain vase from the table and handed it to Ruoxi's hand.
It was slightly cool to start, Ruoxi opened it, leaned under his nose and asked, and asked knowingly: "This is?" ”
"This is a strange poison that this king accidentally got in his early years. It only takes a little bit and it is enough to kill. The Winged King pretended to be high and deep, and as he spoke, he gestured.
Ruoxi pretended not to know, "The prince is ......"
"Huh," before Ruoxi finished speaking, King Yi interrupted, "I entered the palace today, and I have already put this medicine into the emperor's teacup." ”
Ruoxi remained silent and returned the small porcelain vase. "Lord, with all due respect, the emperor died violently, even if the prince can take the throne, I am afraid that it will be difficult to block the mouths of the people.
Nangong Yi stared straight at Ruoxi, as if he wanted to see through people. Just when the air froze, Nangong Yi suddenly burst out laughing.
"What General Ling said is extremely true. Rest assured, this medicine is not immediately fatal. I can't be cheap Nangong Chen, so naturally I want him to be tortured and watch this day fall into my hands. ”
"Yes. The prince's strategy is admired. Nangong Yi looked at Ling Ruoxi, who had low eyebrows and pleasing eyes, and the joy in his heart became stronger and stronger, as if the throne was already beckoning to him.
The emperor was critically ill and did not go to court for several days, and the prince was in charge of the country.
Gradually, in the officialdom of Beijing, a rumor spread.
It is said that this Nangong Shuihua is not the son of Prince Yu, and I don't know if it was born to Princess Yu and which wild man. Nangong Shuihua found out that the emperor was investigating the matter, and in order to avoid revealing his identity, he poisoned the emperor and imprisoned him in Tianli Palace.
"General Ling, the emperor is seriously ill, you and I, as courtiers, should enter the palace to see the emperor."
"The minister is here to congratulate the prince in advance."
The rumors in the capital intensified, and Nangong Shuihua sent heavy troops to guard the emperor's bedroom, and no one was allowed to visit. Several courtiers were untruthful in the main hall and begged for a saint, but they were directly executed by Nangong Shuihua.
This move not only did not suppress the rumors, but indirectly confirmed that Nangong Shuihua's identity was false.
Nangong Yi just wanted to see this scene. The throne, he not only has to get it, but also has to get it in a high-sounding way.
In the name of "escort", a palace change plan meeting headed by Nangong Yi was secretly held in Yiwangfu.
"Lord, just give your orders, and I'll listen to you."
"Yes, please give the prince's order!"
"Well, the king has thanked you first. Now the thief cholera is in charge of the dynasty, imprisoning the emperor, and intending to subvert our country. Although this king has no intention of taking the throne, he just wants to be an idle prince. But I can't bear to see the century-old foundation of my ancestors destroyed, I just want to be able to rescue the emperor's brother, and under Jiuquan, I can also comfort my father. ”
The troops in the capital, under his instruction, were transferred by Ling Ruoxi early for various reasons. And the surrounding troops, when they reacted, the big thing had been accomplished, the overall situation had been decided, and it was not enough to cause trouble.
What they really have to face is only a battalion of the Forbidden Army and the Red Flame Army, as well as the emperor's personal guards and secret guards. Both the forbidden army and the Red Flame Army acted on Ling Ruoxi's orders, and with the men and horses he had raised who had already sneaked into the city to stand by, those hundreds of guards were not to be feared at all. As for the secret guard, how many people there are in this mysterious organization, Nangong Yi is not known as a member of the royal family. It's a woe.
"Lord Wang, now that the arrow is on the bow, I have to send it, and I can't spoil a big deal because of a mere secret guard."
"Oh? General Ling also knows about the Secret Guard? "The existence of the secret guard is a royal secret, and few people in the entire Li Kingdom know about it.
Nangong Yi probably never dreamed that Ling Ruoxi, the Anping general who was standing in front of him at this moment and conspired with him in the matter of "rebellion", would be the second-in-command of the dark group, the night master.
"The prince also knows that I had secretly investigated Chu Haochu's death in the palace and fought with their leader. As long as we control the emperor, then these secret guards will only throw rat bogeys. ”
"If I guess correctly, when the palace is forced, their leader will definitely guard the emperor's side, I will drag him down, and the rest will be handed over to the prince."
Ruoxi took out a token from his arms and handed it to Nangong Yi, "With this token, you can mobilize all the troops under my jurisdiction." I hope the prince can remember the promise given to me, I only want the queen mother! ”
"Good! Deal. ”
It was getting dark. The night, shrouded in the sky over Kyoto, is like this net of power, pressed down, unable to escape.
Nangong Yi stood here for a day, a whole day. Look at the sky, from white to black. He can't go out now, he doesn't dare to go out.
Not nervous, not worried, but excited. He was about to lose his temper with excitement. He was afraid that his madness would be seen by the soldiers.
"Lord Wang, it's all deployed. General Ling said that she would go back to the house to settle her family and meet in the palace in a while. ”
"Got it."
Tianli Palace.
Nangong Chen and Nangong Shuihua stood in front of the palace gate, in front of them and behind them, they were all black people.
Nangong Shuihua was the first to break the silence of this confrontation, "Uncle Huang, what does this mean?" ”
Pretend to be confused!
"Can't the prince see it?"
"Your identity is already known to the whole world, so why bother to act here. You imprisoned the emperor with bad intentions, and this king will eliminate harm for the country today. ”
Nangong Yi's words sounded high-sounding, Nangong Shuihua smiled and turned his head to look at Ruoxi.
"The change of becoming a king is still in front of me. The general raised his sword to protect him that day, I was loyal and good as a general, but I didn't want to be a few days, and the one who stood here to force the palace became the general. "Shui Hua Road.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince smiled. If Xi is just a woman, she has no ambitions, and she is appreciated by His Majesty and is a general. It's just that I dare to ask His Royal Highness the Prince, my country rules the world with clans, so should this revenge for killing my husband be repaid? ”
"Don't talk nonsense with him, give it to me!" Nangong Yi made a gesture, and the soldiers behind them took the lead.
This battle is tragic!
Starting from the gate of the palace to the emperor's bedroom, all the way over, there are the sounds of soldiers handing over, roars, the sound of cutting flesh and blood, and the sound of blood flowing.
"General Ling, I'll leave it to you!"
Ruoxi nodded in understanding. flew over the sea of people and came directly to Nangong Shuihua's side.
The dark lord has not appeared, and must be in the temple. According to their plan in advance, Ruoxi entangled the dark lord, and Nangong Yi waited for the opportunity to hold the emperor hostage.
"General Ling, let's pass me first." Ruthlessly unsheathed, facing the purple mang, the two divine weapons collided, making a buzzing dispute.
The two dismantled no less than 100 moves, but they didn't even distinguish the winner from the loser.
"General, leave it to me here!"
Nangong Yi's personal guards broke through the encirclement and took over the battle situation in front of him. Ruoxi and Zhao Chuan have also been in contact a few times, and they have never found that his martial arts are so high, Ruoxi hid the consternation in his eyes, and casually solved a small soldier and killed it.
Before Ruoxi stepped into the door, he felt a powerful internal force attacking, forcing Ruoxi to take several steps back. At the same time, the secret guards hiding in the shadows also rushed out as if they had received an order.
Ruoxi was forced to retreat by the dark lord, and the two fought outside the door.
The people in the dark group, each with high skills, with one enemy and one hundred, these ordinary soldiers are not opponents at all.
"Daddy, daddy save me! Father! "Nangong Xi is a straw bag, and he can't do it if he can't do it. However, Nangong Yi brought him today with this son, firstly, to let him participate in this battle, so as to support him after seizing power, and secondly, Nangong Yi had the heart to train him. But he didn't think that his guards were not the opponents of the dark guards at all, and in just an instant, they were solved and put the knife on his neck.
The secret guard was ruthless, and he didn't give Nangong Yi a chance to think at all, and solved Nangong Xi with one sword.
"Xi'er!" As soon as Nangong Yi turned around, he saw that his beloved son's body was in a different place. The only vestiges of reason were swallowed up in an instant.
"Nangong Chen, today is your death." A large number of people and horses swarmed behind him, and at the same time, Nangong Yi's palm did not move, and a brilliant firework exploded in the air.
"Report, Your Highness, a large number of enemies have suddenly appeared in the palace. The residences of the various palace mothers have been surrounded. ”
"Report, Your Highness, there are also a large number of people in the Queen Mother's bedroom."
"What? What's going on? Who are they? "All the main roads into the palace were blocked, leaving only this exit. I didn't receive any news that the palace gate was missing, and they have been staying here all the time, how did these people appear out of thin air.
"The subordinates don't know that these people are strong in martial arts, and the guards arranged are not opponents at all. I'm afraid, I'm afraid ......"
Nangong Yi looked at Nangong Shuihua from a distance, taking in the shock, disbelief, and panic on his face. He has endured for many years, step by step, and planned in every possible way, just for today, and finally made him wait.
Ruoxi, who was trembling with the dark lord, witnessed the change in the situation on the battlefield, exchanged glances with the dark lord, and took out a signal flare from his arms.
Nine Sons Serial Order!
Nangong Yi looked at the person who was still fighting with the dark lord in the last second, and Ling Ruoxi, who had already put the sword on his neck at this second, didn't move, "You really didn't really take refuge?" ”
Ruoxi laughed lightly, "The prince is wise, how can Ruoxi's little carving insect skill deceive the prince." ”
"The overall situation has been decided, do you think you can kill me?" Nangong Yi has already sacrificed a killing move, this is his blood for many years, for today's battle.
Ruoxi raised an eyebrow, "Really?" It's better not to be blindly confident. ”
"What do you mean?" Nangong Yi felt uneasy in his heart. Follow Ruoxi's eyes to look at the past.
This forced palace has turned into a one-sided massacre. He was proud of the dead soldier who was used as a secret weapon, and in front of the secret guard, it was not worth mentioning, and it was useless.
