The atmosphere in the hall suddenly froze.

Ding Yitu has obviously turned his face, there are many people in this Rising Sun Dart Bureau, and Ding Yitu is even more proficient, if he really wants to make a move, Kyoto Mansion can't get anything cheap at all.

There was tension inside and outside the hall.

Tie Zheng's eyes were cold, staring at Ding Yitu, but suddenly he laughed, his smile was quite abrupt, Ding Yitu frowned, and found that Tie Zheng actually had a look at the middle-aged man, he felt a pang in his heart, knowing that something was wrong, tonight the middle-aged man and Tie Zheng came to the Rising Sun Dart Game one after another, it was really strange.

At this moment, he heard a few screams in the distance, Ding Yitu's body was shocked, he got up suddenly, his face showed a look of horror, and he lost his voice: "Turn the tiger away from the mountain!" Turning around to leave, Tie Zheng had already said sharply: "Ding Yitu, you have to go tonight if you don't want to, where are you going?" ”

Ding Yitu said in a deep voice: "Come on, take them!" ”

Bai Li had been waiting for Ding Yitu to give orders, and when he heard Ding Yitu's order, he said in a deep voice: "Take them all down!" He was the first to rush out, and his hand went straight to Tie Zheng.

He knew that the people of Kyoto Prefecture were led by Tie Zheng, and as long as Tie Zheng was captured, the people of Kyoto Prefecture would not dare to act rashly.

Ding Yitu didn't care about everyone's fighting, and took the opportunity to leave.

He was light, his feet were like the wind, under the night, like a ghost, through the hall, suddenly saw two people in front of him, stepped forward, only to see that the one who fell to the ground was the executioner in the dart game, and was surprised, knowing that when he was entangled in the front hall, someone had already taken the opportunity to sneak into the dart game.

Suddenly, he heard the sound of two long and one short bamboo chirping in the distance, and when he heard the sound of the bamboo, Ding Yitu changed color even more.

He runs a dart bureau and walks the rivers and lakes, and the code on the rivers and lakes is naturally understandable, and the two long and one short sounds are the longest code on the rivers and lakes, which is to tell the meaning of retreating quickly.

Ding Yitu clenched his fists with both hands, his feet were faster, this dart game was not small, the courtyard was also many, not only there were warehouses, but also stables, martial arts arenas, canteens and dormitories were not small, Ding Yitu blushed his face, passed through two walls, and finally arrived at a courtyard, looked around, and there was no one, then pushed the door and rushed into the courtyard, but the courtyard was full of firewood, it was the firewood room of the dart bureau, hundreds of people up and down in the dart bureau, and there were many people who ate every day, so the firewood room was huge, and the yard was almost full of chopped firewood, On weekdays, except for two handymen who come here to carry some firewood, almost no one sets foot here.

Half of the firewood room is open air, and the other half is covered with a rain cloth, which is also worried that once the rain wets the firewood, it will not be dismantled, but it must be covered with a rain cloth, and the sunlight will not be good to dry the firewood.

Ding Yitu saw that there was nothing special in the courtyard as before, so he breathed a sigh of relief, suddenly realized something, and lost his voice: "It's not good......!" He turned around and looked at the courtyard gate, but saw a figure walking in from outside the courtyard, the figure was slender and moving, and he was wearing a night coat and a face scarf, but even the blind could see that the person who came was a woman with a seductive figure.

"It seems that Mr. Ding's dart head is not so smart!" The woman's waist twisted, and she walked in like a water snake, and her voice hooked her soul: "Xiao Shaozong entrusted you with such a heavy responsibility, it seems that he is even more stupid than you!" ”

Under the imperial city, Xiao Shaozong put his hands behind his back, looked up at the night sky, and was silent for a long time.

He was small in stature, but no one could ignore him in the square of thousands of people

Exist.

After a long time, he lowered his head, as if pondering something, and suddenly asked, "What time is it?" ”

"Back to the prince, I have entered the ugly time." Guihe said respectfully: "It's less than two hours until the last hour!" ”

"Two hours ......!" Xiao Shaozong nodded slightly, thoughtfully, and after a while, he said, "Commander Qin!" ”

Qin Chong, the commander of the Xuanwu Battalion who was dressed in gray armor beside him, said respectfully: "The last general!" ”

"You look at the hour." Xiao Shaozong said: "Once the time passes, don't give an order from this king, you will attack the city directly!" ”

Qin Chong immediately said: "The last general will obey the order!" ”

"Lord Wang, the last general asks to take the lead in attacking the city!" Lu Xiaochao, the commander of the Tiger God Battalion in black armor behind Xiao Shaozong, couldn't help but say: "The last general has already let people bring siege weapons, and a military order is here, and within two hours, the main gate of the imperial city will be breached!" ”

Of course, the Tiger God Battalion will not have heavy siege weapons, and the so-called siege weapons are just some ladders transferred from the arsenal.

Xiao Shaozong said with a smile: "Don't worry, Commander Lu, there will always be a time when you will make meritorious contributions, and this head formation will still be handed over to the Xuanwu Battalion under the command of Qin." ”

Lu Xiaochao is the nail that Xiao Shaozong has been buried in the Tiger God Camp, no one knows for many years that Lu Xiaochao is actually Xiao Shaozong's cronies, this time Xue Lingfeng was killed, Lu Xiaochao finally played the role that Xiao Shaozong had planned for a long time, and became the commander of the Tiger God Camp in one fell swoop, holding the three thousand elites of the Tiger God Camp in his hands.

Xiao Shaozong knew very well that with Lu Xiaochao in charge, the Tiger God Camp was a trump card in his hands.

After Qin Zhong took office, although there was a purge of the Xuanwu camp, but the Xuanwu camp was mixed with various forces from the beginning, and it was impossible to immediately eliminate this internal dispute in a short period of time, compared to the pure Tiger God Battalion, the Xuanwu Camp would not let Xiao Shaozong feel too relieved, the siege of the city needed the Xuanwu Battalion to come out, but in the future, to control the capital, it still needed the strength of the Tiger God Battalion, so of course Xiao Shaozong did not want the Tiger God Battalion to be damaged in the siege battle.

Lu Xiaochao didn't dare to say more.

At this moment, he saw several officials approaching, Xiao Shaozong glanced at it, saw that it was Dou Kui, and said with a smile: "Lord Dou, I have worked hard for you today." ”

Tens of thousands of soldiers and horses besieged the imperial city, and the matter started in a hurry, and at the end of this day, Dou Kui was responsible for the food supply, and Dou Kui did a very good job, which made Xiao Shaozong very satisfied.

"Lord Wang, this is a matter within the duties of the lower officials." Dou Kui bowed slightly and said respectfully: "If the prince has any send, he can command it at any time." ”

"You've done a great job." Xiao Shaozong said: "You are also tired, you can go back and rest first." ”

"The lower officials are not tired." Dou Kui looked like he wanted to speak and stopped, as if he had something to say, Xiao Shaozong could see it at a glance, and said with a smile: "Lord Dou still has something?" ”

Dou Kui thought for a while, and then said softly: "Lord Wang, the emperor was killed by the traitor Qi Ning, after the imperial city was breached, it was natural to cut the traitor with a thousand knives, but it was just ......!" After hesitating for a moment, he looked left and right at the other officials around him, several officials also looked at each other, Xiao Shaozong said gently: "If you have anything to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it." ”

"Lord, the country cannot be without a king for a day." Dou Kui said solemnly: "Since the emperor has died, the lower officials think that after the city is broken and traitors are produced, the top priority is to have a new monarch ascend the throne, so as to stabilize the situation of my Great Chu." The Qinhuai army is fighting on the front line, and if there is no new monarch in charge at this time, it will not only be useless to the country, but it is very likely

As a result, the front-line army is disheartened, and maybe it will bring ...... Great calamity. ”

"Exactly." An official on the side said: "Lord, you are the bloodline of Emperor Taizu, although the emperor has been married, he has not given birth to a prince, naturally there is no prince to succeed to the throne, and among the royal bloodline, only the prince is qualified to inherit the throne.....!" ”

Xiao Shaozong frowned and said, "The traitor has not been eliminated, is it too early to discuss this matter at this time?" And this king only wants to hoe traitors for the country, and if he succeeds him, he can always find it. ”

"Lord Wang, in this crisis, only Lord Wang stepped forward." Dou Kui Zhengse said: "The prince has the courage and talent to set the top of the world, what Lord Liang said is true, the prince is the blood of Emperor Taizu, and the successor of the king, non-prince can not take on this important responsibility." ”

"Why did Lord Dou suddenly mention this?"

Dou Kui said: "Just now, many of our officials are discussing over there, as courtiers, they naturally have to work for the country, and everyone is also worried that after Qi Ning is exterminated, the capital will still be unpeaceful, so everyone feels that the country cannot be without a king for a day, and when it is in danger, someone must step forward to take on the responsibility of the country." After a pause, he said: "The lower officials told everyone that the prince should inherit the throne, and all the officials also think that the prince is the most suitable candidate. The minister is in charge of the household department, if he wants to perform the enthronement ceremony, the household department must allocate a sum of money to raise this matter with the Ministry of Rites, at this time can not be delayed, it is naturally better to prepare early, so ...... Xia Guan is ready to discuss this matter with Yuan Shangshu, I don't know what the prince thinks? ”

Xiao Shaozong groaned slightly, and then said, "What does Yuan Laoshangshu mean?" ”

"Lao Shangshu is old, and he is still resting for the time being, and he has not bothered in the past." Dou Kui said in a low voice: "However, except for a few people with ill intentions, most of the officials support the prince's accession to the throne. ”

"A few people with bad intentions?" Xiao Shaozong's expression was calm: "Who are you talking about?" ”

"The gang led by Lu Xiao." Dou Kui said in a low voice: "Those people are still sneaky together, and they don't know what they are discussing. Just now we talked about the succession of the prince, but Lu Xiao said that after the city was broken, he would first welcome the queen into the palace, and if he would inherit the throne, he said that it was not time to discuss the matter. He sneered: "This person is not scheming, and he has formed a party with a cadre from the military department, and the subordinate feels that he needs to check this person carefully." ”

Xiao Shaozong smiled faintly and said, "Lord Lu is not wrong, but this is not the time to discuss the successor. ”

"Lord Wang, except for the Ministry of War, the officials of the other ministries are very supportive of the prince." Dou Kui said softly: "The next official just saw Hu Bowen, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, speaking of this, looking at the meaning of Hu Shilang, it seems that he also thinks that the prince should inherit the throne, this Hu Bowen's status in the Ministry of Rites is second only to Yuan Lao Shangshu .....!" He lowered his voice and said: "Yuan Lao Shangshu is old, I am afraid that he will soon be Zhishi, after Lao Shangshu Zhishi, Hu Bowen is the most qualified to take over the position of the Ministry of Rites, since he supports the prince, then the entire Ministry of Rites naturally supports the prince." ”

"Do extraordinary things in extraordinary times." The Liang on the side said: "Lord Wang, at this very time, the lower officials think that after the city is broken, they will immediately summon hundreds of civil and military officials to enter the Chengtian Palace, and when the time comes, we will jointly support the prince to ascend the throne, so as not to have many dreams at night and other troubles." ”

Dou Kui immediately said: "What Lord Liang said is extremely true, if anyone dares to oppose it at that time, it will be ill-intentioned, and even Qi Ning's comrades can be detained and imprisoned on the spot!" There was a fierce look in his eyes.
