A moment.

The soldiers and horses of the large battalion on the outskirts of Beijing have been assembled.

Cheng Jiang was wearing armor, sitting on horseback, and unconsciously swept around.

saw that his former comrades-in-arms were all ready to go, and his young faces had an unprecedented look of coldness. If you look closely, you can even see some joy hidden in the depths of your eyes.

The so-called joy is nothing more than counting on the hope that this time to help Tianjing, he can make great contributions and become an official.

The camp on the outskirts of Beijing is located in the northwest of Tianshangjing, and there are 30,000 elite soldiers stationed all year round. If there are people in the court who have bad intentions, once there is any trouble, the soldiers and horses of the camp on the outskirts of Beijing can be dispatched at any time to gallop to Tianjing to escort them.

Most of the soldiers in the battalion were born in the low-income families of Tianjing and its surrounding cities, and they were far less noble than the children of elite soldiers such as the Imperial Forest Army in Tianshangjing. In comparison, the road to the rank of official here is the fairest. As long as you have the ability and can make great contributions, you will have the opportunity to become famous and enter the holy eye.

Therefore, when Du Huaiqun read out the holy will and ordered troops overnight, these soldiers were full of thoughts about how to make meritorious contributions and get ahead when they rushed to Tianjing.

But if they knew that they were about to be led to a point of no return by Du Huaiqun, how would they feel?

Cheng Jiang quickly swept over with his only remaining right eye, and the torch held high was reflected in his deep eyes, which also reflected his deep anxiety at the moment. After the second Miss Xie had finished her instructions, she left his tent. At the moment, I don't know where to hide.

Let's hope it's all over soon!

Just thinking like this, there was a sudden sound of heavy footsteps in his ears, but he saw Du Huaiqun walking slowly in armor, turned over and got on his horse, and said loudly: "Sons, the emperor has made a decree and ordered all our soldiers to gallop to Tianjing." Wait and listen to the orders of the great commander, and you will fight wherever the great commander points out. Have you memorized them all? ”

"Remember!" All the soldiers responded in unison.

For a time, it was like a sea of mountains and a sea of mountains, and the momentum was like a rainbow.

Du Huaiqun nodded with satisfaction, waved his big hand, and was about to give the order to set off, but suddenly there was a sound of breaking the air, and three white feather arrows shot quickly from the direction of the tall trees at the camp gate, swishing three times, everyone only felt that the silver light flashed in front of them, and the white arrow tip shot straight at Du Huaiqun on the horse with a cold murderous aura.

Du Huaiqun's eyes widened, and under extreme fear, he opened his mouth but couldn't make any sound.

At this moment, the two Jianghu guards beside him, one on the left and one on the right, suddenly jumped up, raised their feet and kicked away the three approaching arrows, the tips of the arrows turned in a different direction by force, and shot to the camp tent on the side.

Immediately after, three more white feathered arrows flew out, and the two men kicked out of the air, looked at each other, and threw themselves into the tall tree at the camp gate.

But they didn't want to, but their pounce exposed Du Huaiqun to danger.

At this moment, another arrow passed through the blocking of the two Jianghu guards and went straight towards Du Huaiqun.

Hearing only a scream, Du Huaiqun suddenly fell off his horse, and billowing smoke and dust rose into the air.

The nearest lieutenant immediately stepped forward to help him up, but was taken aback when he saw the white feathered arrow piercing his arm. He also paid attention to the movement around him just now, but he didn't see how this arrow broke through the guards and successfully shot at Du Huaiqun's arm.

If you can pierce with an arrow from such a distance, how much arm strength and accuracy should it take?

And Cheng Jiang looked at it from a distance, but he felt a pity in his heart - if he could pierce Du Huaiqun's head with an arrow, it would be easy.

At this time, the lieutenant general also came back to his senses and asked anxiously, "Grand Commander, how are you?" ”

Du Huaiqun gritted his teeth, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and he stared at the three people who were passing outside the camp gate and said hatefully: "Take down that bold villain for the great commander!" ”

There was a commotion among the soldiers, and several lieutenants were about to run out of the camp gate to join the battle, but they saw two bodies being smashed heavily at the feet of everyone, raising a puff of smoke and dust.

At this moment, the sound of horses' hooves came from far and near, and a man and a horse slowly approached, and finally stood outside the camp gate. On horseback, Xie Fenghua was dressed in white and black-haired, holding a bow and arrow, and was looking at Du Huaiqun with a cold expression at the moment.

"Take down this traitor for the Great Commander!" Du Huaiqun grinned in pain, and his voice became sharp and piercing due to anger, and it was unspeakably ugly.

A team of people immediately surrounded Xie Fenghua.

Xie Fenghua sat lazily on the back of his horse as if he hadn't seen the tension at this moment, and asked with a smile: "Commander Du, where are you going to gather your troops this big night?" ”

"Where did the traitor come from? How dare you talk about the affairs of the Great Commander? Du Huaiqun broke free from the support of others and stepped forward, a trace of hideousness appeared on his dark face.

Xie Fenghua took out the token from his sleeve and sneered: "Commander Du, you can see clearly, I am not a traitor!" He came to transfer troops on the orders of the emperor. When you see a person, you still don't kneel? ”

Du Huaiqun squinted his eyes suddenly, staring at the token in her hand, and after a while, he suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed, "Do you think that by taking a fake token, you can deceive the Great Commander?" What are you waiting for? Why don't you take down this witch? ”

Before everyone could react, Cheng Jiang suddenly walked out of the crowd and said in a cold voice: "Commander Du, this is obviously the emperor's token, why do you want to deny it?" ”

Du Huaiqun suddenly scolded angrily, "Cheng Jiang, what nonsense are you talking about?" ”

Cheng Jiang walked to the pile of firewood and grass that was erected high next to him, and shouted loudly: "Commander Du, I am not talking nonsense, but you are falsely spreading your will, intending to force our brothers into a desperate way of rebellion. Do you do this worthy of the trust that your brothers have placed in you? ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was in an uproar.

These people were expecting to take this opportunity to make contributions, but when they suddenly heard such words, they were stunned in place.

After being stunned, there was public anger.

Some people have already asked Cheng Jiang loudly, "Vice General Cheng, we were originally rushing to help Tianjing, why did we become a rebellion?" What reason does Commander Du have to harm us? ”

Cheng Jiang also has his prestige in the army, and when he heard the words, he said: "Brothers, I also just got the news that King Yu forced the palace to rebel, and the Du family made a lot of efforts for it. This is the young lady from the palace, who specially came to mobilize troops to suppress the rebels with the emperor's will. Everyone is a loyal person, and they also hope to make meritorious contributions to serve their family and country, but don't be deceived by the Du family, and be a chaotic minister and thief who is not tolerated that day! ”

His words were like a knife, directly poking at everyone's hearts.

The matter of rebellion is a matter of life and death, and no one dares to wade into this troubled water easily. When they saw Du Huaiqun's cold face, the soldiers seemed to have a bottom line, and someone asked Xie Fenghua directly, "Since this lady is from Tianjing, what token does she have?" ”

Xie Fenghua took out the tiger talisman, held it high with the token, and said loudly: "I am ordered by the emperor to transfer the soldiers and horses of the camp on the outskirts of Beijing and rush to Tianjing. Commander Du, since you said that the emperor sent you a will, why is it contrary to what I said? If it is the will of God, what is the Divine Will? ”

"Since you are from Tianjing, do you have a holy decree?" Du Huaiqun glared at her fiercely.

Xie Fenghua still had the appearance of smiling lightly, but his eyes were indescribably cold. She raised the things in her hand and said undoubtedly: "These two things, if they weren't given by the emperor himself, I wouldn't have them." But you, if you can't come up with a holy decree, isn't it just nonsense when you say it? All this is just an excuse for you to maliciously deceive the soldiers? ”

Du Huaiqun stared at her deadly, and countless thoughts flashed in his heart.

The so-called will is nothing more than what he said casually. But now that the palace is controlled by King Yu, even if he falsely transmits his will, no one will notice it at all. Once the army is brought into Tianjing and the emperor's men and horses are eliminated by its strength, even if these people react, it will be useless.

Who would have thought that a woman would suddenly appear!

No way!

He couldn't let this woman stand in his way.

Thinking so, he hurriedly glanced at his two Jianghu guards, but saw those two rushing towards Xie Fenghua again.

Xie Fenghua didn't expect him to jump off the wall in a hurry, and he would kill her in public, so he hurriedly retreated. At the same time, two feathered arrows whizzed out.

Cheng Jiang hurriedly rushed up to help, and said angrily while fighting: "Commander Du, so far, are you still so obsessed?" You have to think clearly, King Yu's rebellion is extremely evil, and your Du family will also become a chaotic minister and thief. ”

Du Huaiqun gritted his teeth with hatred, pointed at him and shouted, "Come on, arrest these two people." ”

However, no one listened to him.

None of these men were loyal to the king. Especially when he heard that Du Huaiqun led them to force the palace to rebel, he lost the determination to follow and support.

Du Huaiqun was annoyed, picked up his sword and slashed over. The man in front of him was stunned for a moment, but he didn't dodge, and blood immediately appeared on his shoulder.

And his action angered the people present, and many people rushed up and started to fight him.

At this moment, Xie Fenghua got rid of the entanglement of the two Jianghu guards, pulled his bow and shot arrows, and shot directly at Du Huaiqun. Du Huaiqun was facing away from her, waving the big knife in his hand, suddenly his body stiffened, and when he looked down, an arrow passed through his chest, and the tip of the arrow was stained with blood.

There was a desperate and dead silence in his eyes, and the big knife in his hand fell to the ground with a clatter, and then his body also fell.

And when the two Jianghu guards saw that he was dead, they actually found a gap and flew out.

Xie Fenghua did not chase, but looked at the soldiers in front of him, held the token in his hand, and shouted: "All the soldiers obey the order, immediately reorganize the soldiers and horses, and gallop with me to help Tianjing." If there is any disobedience, it will be killed. ”

After a short silence, the people in front of him knelt down and said in unison: "The last general will take the order." ”

Xie Fenghua glanced at Cheng Jiang and showed a smile of relief.

Not long after, the 30,000 soldiers and horses of the camp on the outskirts of Beijing were integrated, the camp gate was wide open, and they went straight to Tianjing in the thick of night.

……

Three quarters in the morning.

Xie Fenghua led his troops to gallop on the official road leading to Tianjing, and suddenly saw the torches around him bright, the sound of the charge, and the figures rushed out from the trees on both sides of the official road.

Cheng Jiang was shocked, "There is an ambush here!" ”

"Don't panic!" Xie Fenghua shouted coldly, and with a solemn expression, he rushed forward with 30,000 soldiers and horses.

- Open a bloody road!

……

At the same time, in the dormitory.

Zhao Pei looked out the window and asked, "Now, Xie Er should go to the camp on the outskirts of Beijing, right?" ”

Forget it, the time is almost up.

Sun Mingyuan nodded, "Back to the emperor, it stands to reason that I have arrived a long time ago." I just don't know what's going on over there. Du Huaiqun has a lot of power in the army, if Mrs. Yuan Shao can't control the soldiers and horses smoothly, then things will be difficult to do. ”

Zhao Pei retracted his gaze thoughtfully, remembering Xie Erlin's expression before leaving, but he was not as nervous and worried as him, but comforted him, "Xiangye doesn't need to worry." I don't think this Xie Er will disappoint. ”

Sun Mingyuan was quite puzzled, "Your Majesty, you seem to have an inexplicable trust in her?" ”

"Shouldn't I be trusted?" Zhao Pei suddenly smiled and said, "Do you remember that when Xie Er talked to me just now, I didn't see how worried she was. Such a person, if he is either ignorant or ignorant, is confident and does not take this hardship and danger into his eyes. ”

In contrast, he thinks the latter is more likely.

Sun Mingyuan sighed, and now that the matter is now, he can only hope that everything will go well.

Just thinking like this, he suddenly heard an exclamation from the palace gate, "King Yu, why are you?" ”

Zhao Pei and Sun Mingyuan glanced at each other, then lay down and looked like they were poisoned and unconscious.

After that exclamation, King Yu strode in, and when he saw Sun Mingyuan guarding in front of the bed, he suddenly smiled and said, "Xiangye is really a loyal person." It's just, it's a pity ......"

"What a pity?" Sun Mingyuan stood up abruptly and looked at him without humility or arrogance, "King Yu, what about Imperial Doctor Xu?" Why didn't you let the imperial doctor come over to treat the emperor? ”

"Stand down!" King Yu said with a cold face.

Sun Mingyuan suddenly glared angrily.

King Yu said again: "This king wants to tell some secrets to the royal brother, does Xiangye want to listen?" ”

Sun Mingyuan's old face turned white, and he had no choice but to retreat.

Only then did King Yu set his eyes on Zhao Pei, and said in a deep voice: "Brother Huang is really a good skill. In order to confuse his younger brothers, he did not hesitate to risk his life, which is really admirable. Now, you and I are both understanding people, do you need to pretend anymore? ”

Speaking of this, Zhao Pei didn't need to pretend anything, he simply opened his eyes, sat up, stared at King Yu sharply, and snorted coldly: "The emperor's brother is really hot-eyed. It's just that now you don't go about your big business, why did you come to me? ”

King Yu lifted his robe, sat on the stool next to him, and said slowly: "I just want to come and see the imperial brother." Back then, the imperial brother took advantage of the absence of his brother in Tianjing to seize that position in one fell swoop. After sitting for so many years, it's time to come back. ”

"Still?" Zhao Pei chewed the word carefully, and suddenly felt extremely funny, "This position has never belonged to you." Why do you want to say that? ”

King Yu seemed to have been stepped on by him, stood up, pointed at him and said, "Brother Huang said it so lightly. Back then, if you hadn't used the means, this throne might not have been yours. In terms of identity, I am the most noble concubine of the Liang Dynasty, where can I get your turn? ”

And this is also the reason why he looks down on Zhao Pei the most.

Obviously, Zhao Pei was just raised in his mother's harem, and he was an outsider to death, so how could he seize that position, and he could only be a fiefdom prince?

He was not reconciled!

Zhao Pei thought of the past, and said with a mocking smile: "It seems that after so many years, you are still unwilling!" Let's just make a break this time! ”

When King Yu heard this, he suddenly laughed, and said sarcastically: "Brother Huang, do you think you still have chips in your hands until now?" Could it be that you still pin your hopes on the girl of the Xie family? ”

Zhao Pei stood up suddenly, forced him to him, and said angrily: "You dare to move her to try it?" ”

"Why not?" King Yu raised his eyebrows proudly, and said with some disdain, "It seems that there is really no one under your command to use." Dispatching troops to do such a thing, how dare you hand it over to a woman! You say, when she encounters the 50,000 soldiers and horses in ambush, will she be so frightened that she will abandon the army and flee? ”

Zhao Pei's face sank like water, his eyebrows were covered with frost, and the momentum around him suddenly became extremely gloomy.

And when King Yu saw him like this, he looked up to the sky and laughed, and his heart was extremely happy, "Brother Huang, for so many years, it's the first time I've seen you so breathless." But that's just the beginning! Let's wait and see! ”

With that, he walked out triumphantly, and the rampant laughter could still be heard from afar.

Sun Mingyuan walked in and said tentatively: "Your Majesty, how is it now?" ”

If King Yu really set up an ambush on the road, then Young Lady Yuan may not be able to come back safely!

Unexpectedly, Zhao Pei pulled the corners of his mouth and said coldly: "Passing on Li Huairen, don't wait, let's do it now!" ”

"Yes!"

……

And after King Yu left the dormitory, he was walking towards the Frost Cloud Palace.

saw the personal guard Lou Yun striding towards him, with a nervous and frightened face.

A feeling of uneasiness suddenly floated in his heart, and he hurriedly scolded: "Panicked, what is this doing?" ”

Lou Yun hurriedly said: "Lord Wang, something is wrong. Just now, I went to the palace gate to check, but I didn't find anything abnormal at the palace gate. Moreover, the people who connected with the response were gone. ”

King Yu was shocked, and hurriedly pulled the clothes on his chest and said angrily: "What's the matter? Didn't Li Huairen say that it had been done just now? ”

Li Huairen is the commander of the Imperial Forest Army.

Lou Yun had a bitter face and said puzzledly: "Isn't it, Lord Li lied?" ”

"Impossible!" King Yu pushed him away violently, and the look on his face was extremely terrifying.

Li Huairen was the person he bought, if it weren't for this person, he wouldn't have controlled the entire palace so easily. Originally, he didn't plan to use the Imperial Forest Army, but Li Huairen repeatedly promised that there would be no problems, and his manpower transfer would not only take time but also be troublesome, so he reluctantly agreed.

If Li Huairen pretends to be sincere, then ......

Thinking of this possibility, he suddenly shuddered in his heart. But at this moment, another personal guard came over and said in a panic: "Lord Wang, something is wrong!" Lord Li suddenly sent someone to escort the Queen Mother, and most of the people we originally arranged in the palace have been slaughtered! ”

"What did you say?" King Yu was shocked, but he quickly reacted and asked in a cold voice, "Where are our people now?" ”

"It should still be at the palace gate." The guard said.

"Let's go! Go to the palace gate! King Yu picked up his sword and walked towards the palace gate, and as he walked, he ordered, "Go find Li Gongxin and ask him to bring another group of people in." ”

"Yes!"

……

A moment in the making.

Li Gongxin sneakily walked under a white jade bridge in the Imperial Garden, poofed, and jumped down. But I saw that most of his body was soaked in water, and his hands were pulling at something.

Suddenly, a black shadow came silently, he looked along the shadow, but saw Yuan Minzhou staring at him with a smile, "Li Shangshu, it's so late, what are you doing sneakily running here?" ”

Li Gongxin suddenly stopped his hand, pulled an ugly smile on his face, and asked instead of answering, "Why is Master Hou here?" ”

As he spoke, he was about to come up with his hands on the riverbank.

Yuan Minzhou stepped on the back of his hand, tapped the position he was pulling with his hands just now with his chin, and said slowly: "Don't hide it, Ben Hou swam out of this water." ”

Li Gongxin rolled his eyes and suddenly fainted in the water.

……

Three quarters of the hour.

The situation in the palace has been greatly reversed.

The Imperial Forest Army, which originally controlled the palace, suddenly turned against each other, and cut off all the people placed in the palace by King Yu with lightning speed. The emperor, who was trapped in the dormitory, finally appeared in front of everyone, and ordered Li Huairen, the commander of the Imperial Forest Army, to kill all the men and horses under King Yu.

Li Huairen led the Imperial Forest Army to fight hard, but King Yu was defeated and had to retreat outside the palace gate.

And King Yu originally had two parts of people, one part of them entered from the palace gate, and the other part entered the palace from the secret passage under the bridge built by Li Gongxin, but these two parts of the people and horses could not smoothly march from the original route, and in desperation, they could only be combined into one, and all pressed to the palace gate.

For a while, the Imperial Forest Army guarding the palace gate couldn't bear it.

Zhao Pei and a group of courtiers stood on the corner tower of the palace gate, looking at the tragic battle below, his brows furrowed tightly. His gaze looked beyond the piles of bones to the end of the long street, his face gloomy, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"Your Majesty, the Imperial Forest Army has suffered heavy casualties, I'm afraid it won't last long!" Xi Lu ran up, wiped the blood and sweat on his face, and said in a deep voice.

Zhao Pei looked over with his hands behind his back, but saw that King Yu had already stood on a high sentry platform in front of the palace gate, and was looking at him with a gloomy face at the moment. From so far away, he could still feel the hatred in his eyes.

But is hate useful?

King Yu looked at the falling Imperial Forest Army, a touch of happiness crossed his face, and shouted in the air: "Brother Huang, are you waiting for the soldiers and horses of the camp on the outskirts of Beijing?" Brother advises you, don't have too much hope! Thirty thousand against fifty thousand, fools know what the result is. You'd better wake up haha......"

He laughed proudly, and the laughter went straight into the sky, but a crisp voice came from afar, tearing up his sweet dream, "What is the result of what King Yu said?" ”

Immediately afterwards, there was a sudden sound of horses' hooves at the end of the long street, as neat and brisk as raindrops, and a person in white clothes and black hair rushed wildly, but he stood not far from the palace gate, looked up at the monarchs and ministers on the corner tower, and asked from afar: "Are the emperor and all the adults okay?" ”

"All well!" Sun Mingyuan was so excited that he almost burst into tears, stretched out his neck and replied loudly, but he was almost shot by a stray arrow, and he was so frightened that he quickly shrank back.

Xie Fenghua breathed a sigh of relief, looked at King Yu, and was about to say something, but heard King Yu speak first, "Young Lady Yuan, you have good skills, and you can actually retreat from this king's 50,000 ambush." ”

"The prince has won the prize." Xie Fenghua replied to him painlessly.

But I heard King Yu say: "However, even if you break through, so what? Look at who this is? Do you still dare to attack the city? ”

Xie Fenghua's heart was shocked, and when he looked up, he saw a woman being escorted out, and when she saw the person's face, her pupils shrank suddenly, and the sword in her hand was almost unstable.

"Mother!" Xie Fenghua couldn't help but exclaim, and when he looked at King Yu again, his eyes were dyed with blood.

What she feared most happened in the end!
