Since the entire princess's mansion was surrounded by officers and soldiers, the movement was too great, and even the guests who stayed in the hall began to feel that something was wrong with the atmosphere one after another.

Especially when some subordinates didn't care that the banquet was still going on, and hurriedly walked in to whisper to their respective hosts about the situation outside, the faces of the guests who learned of this suddenly changed greatly.

After listening to the report of his subordinates, a nobleman in his fifties was so frightened that he couldn't help but cry out, "What are you talking about, there are all officers and soldiers outside?" What's going on? ”

Because the sound was so loud, many guests in the vicinity heard it, and they were immediately startled.

Many people didn't care about their manners and hurriedly ran over to ask for details.

Soon, more and more customers learned about it from others, and the panic quickly spread.

No one knew what was going on outside, why the officers and soldiers sealed the entire princess mansion, and who was commanding these officers and soldiers.

Since ancient times, it has never been a good thing for all officers and soldiers to seal their mansions, and people will die at any time.

Where have these pampered officials and nobles encountered such a scene, it is strange that they are not afraid.

For a moment, the entire banquet hall became as noisy as a busy city, and it was full of people who asked about the situation outside.

The atmosphere of panic has spread further, and everyone is at risk.

The more they thought about it, the more frightened they became, so they simply took their subordinates and prepared to leave alone.

However, when they reached the door, they found that the exit had been blocked by a large group of people outside the hall.

There are roughly as many as a hundred of these people, although they are all dressed as subordinates, but their serious expressions and murderous posture do not look like ordinary subordinates at all.

Faced with the guests who wanted to leave, these people stopped at the door and did not let anyone go.

"Who are you? Why don't you let us go? The noble man in his fifties asked inwardly.

The man in the lead was the man Chi Fei had seen before, and he said coldly with a straight face: "The forbidden army is doing things, everyone must not act rashly, and those who violate the order will be beheaded." ”

"Forbidden Army? Are you really a forbidden army? ”

"As long as you stay here obediently and don't move, you'll be fine." The man didn't want to talk to him anymore, so he left the sentence behind and turned and walked away.

The noble old man who was slapped in public was so angry that he gritted his teeth, but he didn't dare to offend the other party easily.

As we all know, the forbidden army is a pro-army under the direct jurisdiction of the Holy Lord, and it is the main force of the Gongwei Jing Division, and its status is far superior to that of any local army.

The Great Wei Forbidden Army followed the establishment of the previous dynasty, and was divided into a total of ten guards, including Jinwu Guard, Jinwu Guard, Yulin Left Guard, Yulin Right Guard, Fu Army Middle Guard, Fu Army Left Guard, Fu Army Right Guard, Fu Army Guard, Fu Army Rear Guard, and Tiger Benwei, with 12,000 people per guard, totaling 120,000.

Although I don't know which guard these people belong to, if these are really forbidden soldiers, it means that the person who gave the order is the saint.

After learning that these people outside were likely to be forbidden soldiers, the people in the hall suddenly did not dare to act rashly, so they could only stay in the hall and wait with anxiety.

If this side of the hall is just an appetizer, then the inner hall is where the main drama is staged.

It turned out that just in front of a pillar of incense, a large number of killers dressed as subordinates suddenly rushed to the inner hall together, and went straight to the inner hall where An Guogong was resting.

Each of these men was armed with a sword, and he killed anyone he saw, and he came with a fierce force.

In the face of these attackers, the guards responsible for protecting An Guogong quickly reacted after the initial shock, and drew their weapons to fight back.

However, in the face of enemies several times their own, these guards quickly fell into passivity, and could only fight and retreat until they retreated to the inner hall to defend.

Although there were many attackers, the guards finally stabilized the situation temporarily after narrowing the defense area and with the armor on their bodies.

However, just as the two sides were at a stalemate, someone on the attacker's side suddenly shouted: "Whoever can get the head of the thief will be rewarded with a thousand taels." Give it to me, sons, and kill the thieves! ”

Hearing this shout, the attackers were immediately demoralized, and the offensive became more violent.

On An Guogong's side, many more people were cut or wounded to death, and the casualties were heavy.

The guards had no way to retreat, so they could only grit their teeth and resist desperately.

The so-called two fists are difficult to defeat the four hands, the difference in the number of the two sides is too large, and the attacker's morale is brave at this time, the guards quickly collapsed and were solved one by one.

After eliminating all the guards, the leading man immediately rushed into the inner hall with a large group of men, preparing to solve the ultimate goal, An Guogong.

When they rushed into the inner hall, they found it empty.

The man in charge then ordered his men to search every room, even if they scraped the floor.

However, his men quickly searched every place where they could hide, but they could not find anyone.

After confirming that An Guogong was really not here, the leading man's face suddenly changed greatly.

Something isn't right! What went wrong?!

……………………

At the same time, in the Chinese army camp of the fifth military camp on the outskirts of the city, the person sitting in the command camp tent was none other than An Guogong himself, who was supposed to rest in the inner hall of the princess's mansion.

At this time, An Guogong had already changed out of the dress he had attended the wedding banquet of his second grandson Xie Changting, and replaced it with a formal armor.

Sitting below him were Liu An, the governor of the five armies, Xie Qingyuan, the commander of the trumpet, Lu Liuxin, the commander of the battalion, Li Zhihai, the general officer, Hu Chunbo, the battalion officer of the right sentry, and Deng Zhilin, the battalion officer of the right post.

In addition to these military bigwigs, there are also nine sons of the Xie clan, all of whom are generals who hold important positions in the army.

Although it is said that the 120,000 forbidden army is the main force to defend the capital, in fact, in addition to the ten guards of the forbidden army, there are two other armies that are also responsible for protecting the capital.

They are the five army battalions composed of elite infantry cavalry, and the border battalions composed of border descents.

Among them, the five military camps are divided into five armies, including the middle army, the left army, the right army, the left sentry army, and the right sentry army, so they are called the five military camps.

The soldiers of the five military battalions are all elite soldiers drawn from various garrisons, and they take turns to train in the Beijing division, and they maintain about 160,000 soldiers all year round.

It can be said that the Fifth Army Battalion is another main force to protect the capital after the Ten Guards of the Forbidden Army, and its number of soldiers is even 40,000 more than the 120,000 of the Forbidden Army.

Compared with the Ten Guards and the Five Military Battalions of the Forbidden Army, which were composed of elite soldiers, the border battalions composed of border soldiers were much worse in combat effectiveness, so they were always only used as auxiliary troops.

If the emperor personally marched, it had always been the forbidden army with ten guards in the center, and the five armies were stationed outside, assisted by the border camps, and each worked together.

In terms of establishment, the five military camps are subordinate to the Governor's Office of the Five Armed Forces and are under the direct jurisdiction of the Governor's Office of the Five Armed Forces.

Originally, the governor's office of the five armies had one commander, two military ministers, two chief officers, one battalion officer, two generals, and one battalion officer for each army, a total of thirteen people in charge of the five military camps.

But now, only Liu An, the governor of the five armies, Xie Qingyuan, the commander of the trumpet, Lu Liuxin, the commander of the battalion, Li Zhihai, the general officer, Hu Chunbo, the battalion officer of the right post, and Deng Zhilin, the battalion officer of the right post, were present, so what about the others?

In fact, just half an hour ago, these people and the guards around them were all killed on the spot, and the person who gave the order was Liu An, the governor of the five armies, and it was these nine Xie disciples who were responsible for leading people to do it.

Killed so many people at once, and all of them were high-ranking generals and their guards in the five military camps, and the smell of blood was so strong that it has not yet dissipated.

And the person who made Liu An order to do so was An Guogong himself.

Because Liu An, the governor of the five armies, has always been a person of An Guogong, and everything is only the head of An Guogong. An Guogong wanted him to kill people, but he didn't dare not kill them.

Including An Guogong, everyone in the tent did not make a sound, but just sat there with different expressions, as if waiting for something to happen, and the atmosphere was silent.

After a while, there was a sudden sound of rushing outside the camp, and soon the door of the camp was opened, and a very young captain rushed in and hurriedly said to An Guogong: "Uncle Grandfather, those people really bite the bait."

Now the entire princess's mansion is surrounded by the Jinwu avant-garde led by Mao Wenlong like an iron bucket.

The most hateful thing is that Mao Wenlong personally led people to kill in the inner hall, killing all your uncle, grandfather and your guards.

Not only that, but your uncle's and grandfather's mansion was also copied by officers and soldiers. Needless to say, it must be Mao Wenlong's order again.

If I meet this guy, I will chop him into meat sauce and bite the dog. ”

Compared with his nephew's anger, An Guogong himself seemed very calm, and asked in a deep voice: "Except for Jin Wuwei, what are the movements of the other guards of the forbidden army?" ”

"The Jinwu guards led by Mao Wenlong are searching for our people everywhere in the city, and the Jinwu guards led by Deng Weiming are rushing to the side of the Tiger Benwei, intending to meet Zhang Pinglin.

More than 24,000 people on the left and right sides of Yulin were all scattered around the palace to guard, and even mosquitoes could not fly in.

The rest of the government army's left guard, right guard, front guard, rear guard and other guards did not change for the time being.

Uncle and grandfather, should we strike first, and let our people do it first before the other guards receive the news, and control these guards first? ”

An Guogong replied: "The emperor has long known that except for Jin Wuwei and Yu Linwei, the rest of the guards have our people. In order to avoid the leakage of news, they were not notified to do it together.

Do you think those battalion officers really don't know anything? At this point, they must have received more or less rumors.

The reason why they have not sent troops is because they have not yet received the Holy Decree or Tiger Talisman.

In order to prevent anyone from entering the guard with these things, I have sent people to seal the road crossings outside the guard camps, so that no one can enter the camp.

As long as they did not receive the holy decree or tiger talisman for a moment, those guards would not dare to send troops easily.

If you do it now, if it fails, it will give them an excuse to send troops, so you can't move them for the time being. ”

"But uncle, it's not a way to drag it out like this.

After the Jinwu guards led by Deng Weiming and Zhang Pinglin's tiger guards meet, they will definitely continue to meet with the other guards, and then we will face the entire Ten Guards of the Forbidden Army. ”

"Something you can think of, I can't think of?

Rest assured, they don't have a chance anymore. I have already asked His Royal Highness II to go to the various guards of the forbidden army with the holy decree to oversee the rebellion.

As long as there is a holy purpose, they will not dare to disobey the orders of the Second Highness. ”

Xie Changping was very surprised and asked, "Uncle Grandfather, you said that His Royal Highness went to supervise the army with a holy decree?" But this decree ......"

Xie Guogong interrupted him, "Of course, this holy decree was handed over to the Second Highness by the Holy Lord himself.

Because the eldest prince rebelled and plotted against him, the Holy Lord ordered His Royal Highness to lead the army to quell the rebellion with a holy decree.

This is already a well-known thing, do you still have any questions? Xie Guogong looked at him coldly.

None of the others in the camp spoke, but looked at each other tacitly, as if they had already reached a consensus.

Xie Changping finally understood what his uncle and grandfather meant, and his heart was pounding.

This is an overkill, more serious than the crime of the king, and a great sin of the nine clans.

But then again, they are already preparing to send a large army to the palace to "quell the rebellion", even if it is a pretension, it doesn't seem to be a big deal.

In case of failure, it makes no difference how you die.

But, that's the emperor!

Thinking that they would soon take hundreds of thousands of soldiers from the Fifth Army Camp to besiege the palace, Xie Changping still felt frightened.

He didn't expect things to turn out like this, let alone that the emperor would suddenly launch this killing operation against their Xie clan on Princess Yanfang's wedding day.

The emperor's move was so ruthless that he chose to launch a mutiny on the day of the princess's wedding.

Fortunately, Uncle and Grandfather had already prepared to deal with it in advance, otherwise their Xie clan would really be wiped out this time.

At this time, An Guogong walked up to everyone and said in a deep voice: "Including the children of my Xie clan, everyone here is sitting in the same boat.

If it fails, all of us will die without a place to bury, and no one will be spared.

However, if this time is successful, I thank you Mingshun to assure you that you will enjoy the glory of all you in the future. Do you have any objections? ”

After listening to him, needless to say, the ten Xie family disciples, including Xie Changping, all knelt down together.

Even Liu An, the governor of the Fifth Army, and several other senior generals of the Fifth Army Battalion all knelt on one knee and said in unison: "Everything is the only one who looks forward to the general, and he will never give up." ”

"Okay, with the help of all the kings, why worry about big things. We will now gather our troops and go to the palace to quell the rebellion.

I wish you all prosperity and victory. ”

"The last general commands."

"Let's go, everybody."

Only then did all the generals of the five armies leave their tents and prepare their troops and horses.

After everyone else left, Xie Guogong left Xie Changping alone, and said in his ear: "After the war starts, you will immediately bring 5,000 soldiers to surround the Zhenguo Mansion, and you must capture Ning Zhiyuan's family." If they really can't be captured alive, they should be killed on the spot, and they must not be allowed to leave the capital. ”

"Yes, Uncle." Xie Changping took the order and left.

When Xie Guogong was the only one left in the camp, he muttered as if talking to himself: "Xie Laoqi, you really have come this far." In that case, don't blame my men for being ruthless. ”

After speaking, a fierce and resolute look appeared in his eyes.
