Chapter 616: Alas......

Dali City is almost chaotic from morning to night, and even at night, there are still sporadic fighting conflicts, as for who is in conflict with whom, no one knows at all.

Gao Shouzhen, who died of an inexplicable blood hole in his chest, finally said the right thing last night, that is, Ziqi and Luo Dian really broke through the Longshou Pass, and then rushed into Dali City.

Although the number was small, it was undoubtedly like a disaster for the Dali soldiers in the city who were not ready for battle, and they were defeated and retreated with more and less, almost letting the Ziqi and Luo Dianjun kill along the streets in the direction of the palace.

Gao Shouchang watched his father Gao Liangcheng and Gao Shouzhen fall to the ground after two loud bangs, and in shock, he trembled and pulled the bodies of his father and eldest brother with both hands, and when he looked at the two blood holes in his chest, his legs were weak and he sat on the ground with his buttocks.

The news of the death of Dali Gaoxiang, just like the wings, spread to the Dali Palace in less than half an hour, and similarly, the soldiers in Dali City, because of the impact of Gao Liangcheng and Gao Shouzhen's death, morale became extremely low, and they had no power to fight back in the face of Ziqi and Luodian, and they were chased by the army of Ziqi and Luodian.

Originally, they were always on guard in the post house, whether Gao Liangcheng's death would make the Gao family contact them, and then Han Yanxuan and others, who came to ask for the crime at the first time, were also robbed by the Ziqi and Luo Dianjun who broke into the city.

So a chaotic battle began in the morning, and the whole Dali had both Ziqi and Luodian people attacking their palaces, and there were also people who had already forgotten the purpose of breaking the city, and began to loot some shops, houses, and so on.

When Ye Qing ran out of the Gao family, it was already noon, and the entire Dali City was already in chaos, and it was no longer possible for him to return to the post house immediately.

Together with the people who received him from the Imperial City Division, he had to face the red-eyed Ziqi and Luodian people, and from time to time he would encounter sporadic resistance from Dali soldiers, but fortunately, the fights with Dali soldiers these days made Dali soldiers regard them as their own at this time.

As a last resort, Ye Qing had no choice but to start organizing the scattered Dali soldiers on the street, and led these people to resist the forces of Ziqi and Luodian together with the Imperial City Division, and rushed towards the direction of the palace.

At dusk, when Ye Qing led hundreds of Dali soldiers to the Dali Palace, the Ziqi and Luodian people in Dali City suddenly began to retreat and fled in a hurry, which made Ye Qing finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Obviously, at this time, the people of Ziqi and Luodian received the news that they were in their nest and began to be taken advantage of by the Song army.

Han Yanxuan, who was killed from the post house, keenly felt that the momentum of Ziqi and Luodian people began to decline, and the military spirit began to be unstable, so he coincided with Ye Qing's strategy and began to organize the scattered Dali soldiers to launch a counterattack against Ziqi and Luodian people.

At the same time, the Dali soldiers who withdrew from Longshou Pass also began to rush to the aid of Dali City, which suddenly made the self-defeating people who ran in to burn and loot for most of the day instantly fell into the dilemma of being attacked from both sides.

Gao Shouchang finally recovered from the grief of his father Gao Liangcheng and Gao Shouzhen being stabbed, full of anger and hatred, and naturally put it all on the bodies of Ziqi and Luodian.

There must be a brave man under the heavy reward, and with Gao Shouchang promising a heavy reward for promotion and promotion, the Dali soldiers who are for money and career have finally started a crazy counterattack.

At dusk, the moon and stars were scarce, and the two armies fought to the end, with Gao Shouchang's heavy reward, it had become a one-sided slaughter, and Dali City seemed to have become a slaughterhouse.

Ziqi and Luodian people have to face the Dali soldiers who came to the aid from outside the city, and they also have to face the counterattack of the Dali City soldiers who dreamed of being promoted to the rank of lord, so they became rats crossing the street in Dali City.

At the time of Xu, there are still sporadic fights in the entire Dali City, and Ziqi, Luodian with low morale, the head has completely become the sought-after "goods" of Dali soldiers to invite merit and reward, almost broke into the city of Ziqi, Luodian people have not been able to escape from Dali City again, the good head regardless of life or death, are scrambling to cut off and take the reward.

However, whether it is the imperial palace or various government offices, especially the temples, etc., have not been affected much, and in the streets and alleys, there is a strong smell of blood that seems to be indissolvable, and the corpses of the stumps are scattered all over the streets, especially some corpses with missing heads, and the whole scene is like the hell of Shura.

Ye Qing and Han Yanxuan converged on the periphery of the palace at dusk, in the eyes of Emperor Dali, this time it was obviously thanks to the help of the Song envoy, otherwise, the Dali Palace, I am afraid it will also be destroyed by Ziqi and Luo Dianjun.

When Han Yanxuan saw that the intact Gao Shouchang led the other officials to the palace, he couldn't help but look at Ye Qing in some surprise.

"The Gao family needs a person in power, and if he dies, it will be the Duan family. What's more, the Gao family is not only their lineage, with the death of Gao Liangcheng and Gao Shouzhen, the Gao family will inevitably have internal strife. Ye Qing explained to Han Yanxuan in a low voice.

"Whether the Duan family is dominant, or the Gao family is in power, it is better to let them fight among themselves. Not bad. Han Yanxuan nodded and said.

Shi Miyuan, who finally squeezed in front of Ye Qing and Han Yanxuan from the crowd, was pale, obviously the chaos of this day had not yet eased Shi Miyuan's tension.

Duan Zhixing, the emperor of Dali, saw Gao Shouchang walking over with grief and anger on his face and blood stains on his body, as if there was a boom in his mind, and instantly stiffened on top of the main hall, and his eyes couldn't help but look at Ye Qing, could it be that the Song envoy attempted assassination?

But before Ye Qing, who happened to be looking at him with a smile, signaled to him, Gao Shouchang's originally murderous face instantly turned into grief and indignation, crying to Duan Zhixing about the death of Gao Liangcheng and Gao Shouzhen.

Duan Zhixing, who couldn't believe what Gao Shouchang said, originally had a shocked look on his face, and he didn't need to act at all at this moment, and asked in disbelief: "You...... What did you say? ”

No one knows whether Duan Zhixing's trembling tone and shocked expression are sad or happy at this moment, even Ye Qing in the distance, looking at Duan Zhixing's appearance, doesn't know how this emperor, who is dedicated to Buddha, feels in his heart at this time.

"This ...... This...... How is this possible? He was ....... Duan Zhixing muttered to himself, his legs were weak, and he sat on the dragon chair with his buttocks, even now, he still couldn't believe that Gao Liangcheng and Gao Shouzhen were really dead.

In addition to Duan Zhixing's expression of disbelief, there was another person in the hall whose expression was unbelievable, that is, Shi Miyuan, who had been in tension all day.

Turning his head to look at Ye Qing and Han Yanxuan, he asked, "Gao Xiang is dead, is this true?" ”

"How do I know?" Han Yanxuan said coldly.

Ye Qing shrugged his shoulders and said that he didn't know.

"This ...... Isn't this Dali going to be in chaos? As soon as Gao Liangcheng and Gao Shouzhen died, the prestige of the Gao family in Dali immediately decreased by half. Shi Miyuan was still in shock.

Although Gao Shouchang has now become the most prestigious person in the Gao family, compared with his father and his eldest brother, Gao Shouchang has a gentle personality, which makes him among the courtiers, or in the four counties and four towns of Dali or the thirty-seven departments, and he does not have the super high prestige and courage that his father and brother have.

So even Shi Miyuan saw it at a glance, with the death of Gao Liangcheng and Gao Shouzhen's father and son, Dali's heaven ...... I'm afraid it's going to change.

In any case, now the Dali Duan clan is on the top of the head, and after the Gao family loses the two mountains of Gao Liangcheng's father and son, at least it has the activation to break the wrist with the Gao family.

It won't even be long before it, it is very likely that it will be tonight, after the soldiers of the prefectures, counties, and towns around the capital Dali rush over, when they see the Gao family like this now, I am afraid that at least less than half of the people will turn to support the Duan family, right?

After all, no matter what, Dali should be surnamed Duan, and Gao Shouchang is obviously impossible to gather people's hearts in a short period of time.

Duan Zhixing's gratitude to the envoys of the Song court and the army was definitely from the bottom of his heart, and of course, the grief for the death of Gao Liangcheng's father and son also seemed to come from the bottom of his heart.

Therefore, in a solemn and strange atmosphere above the Dali court, Ye Qing and Han Yanxuan pulled Shi Miyuan and wisely chose to retreat.

Early in the morning of the second day, when the Emperor of Dali ordered a state funeral to bury Gao Liangcheng's father and son, in order to thank them for their dedication to Dali Sheji, the prince Duan Zhilian reappeared in the post house.

At this time, the envoys of the Song court no longer had any restraints in Dali, and their treatment was even much higher than when they first came.

The strong smell of blood and corpses, after overnight cleaning, made Dali quickly return to normal, only those broken thresholds, blood stains on the wall and a faint smell of blood, still prove that there was a tragic fight here yesterday.

It was like a world away from home to greet the rising sun, but this night's Dali recovered from fear.

Walking into the palace again, it is still the same Buddhist hall, but some of the festive colors of Duan Zhixing's succession to the throne in the entire palace a few days ago have become white at this time, and even Duan Zhixing in the Buddhist hall has symbolically replaced his belt with white.

But after Duan Zhixing saw Ye Qing and the others, or after Ye Qing and the three of them saw Duan Zhixing, he did not see a trace of grief for the death of his important ministers on his face, but his eyes were full of energy, and the whole person was far from the original appearance of a monk who did not care about the world.

"Three envoys, please be seated." Duan Zhixing was extremely polite and said after Duan Zhilian walked out.

Shi Miyuan, who looked suspicious, sat down after saluting Ye Qing and Han Yanxuan, muttering in his heart why Duan Zhixing's attitude towards Ye Qing and Han Yanxuan was as if he had seen a life-saving benefactor, could there be something he didn't know about it?
