Xiao Shaozong is extremely cunning, Qi Ning has naturally seen through it, but this person has such a deep internal force, which really surprised Qi Ning.

He suddenly realized that Xiao Shaozong knew himself very well, he could be said to know himself and his opponent, but he knew too little about Xiao Shaozong, and this alone Xiao Shaozong had already gained the upper hand, and there were too many unknown secrets hidden in this dwarf-like son.

He stared at Xiao Shaozong under the city, a smile appeared on his lips again, and he said to the city: "Xiao Shaozong, are you guilty?" ”

He was full of internal strength, and when he shouted out, the soldiers on both sides heard it clearly.

Xiao Shaozong showed a smile and said: "You entered the palace and assassinated the emperor, and now you are taking the Yulin camp to rebel, the old marquis in brocade and the general of Qi must be heartbroken, how could they have thought that there would be such a disloyal and unfilial traitor in the Qi family." ”

"King Huainan is also a dignified and majestic figure, but why did he give birth to a son as short as a dwarf like you?" Qi Ning sighed: "Xiao Shaozong, tell me the truth, are you really born to the King of Huainan?" ”

Such vicious language, Qi Ning said lightly, and many people were shocked.

This is already similar to Diao Han scolding the street, but the lethality is so strong.

The corners of Xiao Shaozong's eyes jumped slightly, but he still remained calm, and said: "It is really disappointing that a person from a family with dignified brocade clothes would say such vulgar words. ”

"In comparison, I think King Huainan is more disappointed." Qi Ning said: "In order to achieve your own goals, use your biological father as a tool, Xiao Shaozong, your ruthlessness is rare in the world." He sighed and said, "It's a pity that a stupid man like King Huainan, even if he died, he didn't understand that it was his son who sent him into a desperate situation." ”

Xiao Shaozong shook his head and said, "You know very well that it is not difficult to break through the imperial city. There are only a thousand soldiers in the city, so why should you make them traitors? ”

Qi Ning put his hands on the battlements, stared at Xiao Shaozong without speaking, and after a long time, he finally said: "Xiao Shaozong, surrender!" ”

This sentence spread far away, whether it was Yu Linwei at the head of the city or the soldiers and horses under the city, they only felt that Qi Ning was crazy, now the soldiers were coming to the city, the imperial city was trapped, Yu Linwei was besieged by ten times the soldiers and horses of his own, Qi Ning was already like a turtle in an urn, but in such a situation, Qi Ning actually let Xiao Shaozong surrender, everyone felt ridiculous, and some people even felt that there was something wrong with their ears, otherwise how could they hear such unbelievable words.

Chi Danmei was also stunned, looked at Qi Ning, and saw Qi Ning smiling, looking calm and relaxed.

"If you dismount and kneel under the city now, I can guarantee that you will be safe." Qi Ning said: "I will ask the emperor to let you go to guard the tomb of Emperor Taizu, for many years, you have been in the Huainan palace like a turtle, and you must have been used to being lonely and lonely." ”

Xiao Shaozong seemed to feel that he couldn't communicate with Qi Ning, and said directly: "Hand over the emperor's holy body!" ”

Qi Ning sneered in his heart, Xiao Shaozong did not say to hand over the emperor, but said to hand over the emperor's holy body, that is, to make everyone feel that the emperor's life and death were uncertain.

At this moment, Qi Ning saw a group of people appear behind the military formation, and there was a commotion in the originally silent military formation.

Of course, Xiao Shaozong also found the sweep in the rear, turned the horse's head, turned the horse back, only to see a large group of officials being stopped by the soldiers and horses, heard someone shouting over there, Xiao Shaozong whispered a few words to a general beside him, the general rode over, ordered the soldiers to get out of the way, dozens of officials suddenly came to Xiao Shaozong's side, the first one was the old Longzhong's Yuan Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, Lu Xiao and Yuan Moxian of the Ministry of War supported one left and one right, followed by many officials.

Xiao Shaozong turned over and dismounted, stepped forward, but first bowed his hand to the officials.

Yuan Laoshangshu glanced at the city, and finally said, "Lord Wang, this is ..... What's going on? ”

"Old Shangshu, Qi Ning assassinated the emperor, and now he is guarding the imperial city with the Yulin army." Xiao Shaozong smiled bitterly: "The incident happened in a hurry, Xiao Wang was ordered by the emperor to transfer troops to encircle and suppress the rebellion. ”

All the officials changed color in unison, and Lu Xiao immediately asked: "Lord Wang, you said that Qi Ning assassinated the emperor, so ..... So where is the emperor now? ”

"Your Majesty...... It's gone. Xiao Shaozong's eyes turned red, and he choked up: "Xiao Wang was ordered to go out of the city to mobilize soldiers and horses, and he didn't dare to delay ......!" ”

As soon as these words came out, the ministers were shocked, and many people were already crying, and Lu Xiao asked urgently: "The emperor was killed, what ..... Where is the Eucharist now? ”

Xiao Shaozong said: "Still in the palace." He cried out, "Where is your harmony?" ”

From behind, a person stepped forward, it was the eunuch Guihe in the palace, Guihe had tears on his face, knelt on the ground, and said in a trembling voice: "Everyone..... Ladies and gentlemen, the emperor has died ......! ”

Yuan Laoshang said sharply: "What happened? ”

"When the prince was discussing with the emperor tonight, an assassin suddenly appeared, and I waited for the emperor to leave, but there were many assassins......!" Guihe wiped his tears and said: "We recognize that the assassin is headed by the traitor Qi Ning, those assassins are ruthless, the emperor handed over the golden arrow to the prince, and ordered the prince to transfer the Yulin army into the palace to hunt and kill the assassin, but ..... But......! ”

"But what?" Lu Xiao said sharply.

"But before he could transfer the Yulin Army, the emperor ...... and was stabbed. Guihe cried: "The slave has no ability to rescue the emperor, the crime deserves death, the crime deserves death, the crime deserves ..... death!" ”

At this time, the officials cried one after another, and grabbed an official behind him, and said loudly: "Lord Wang, let's go into the city, catch Qi Ning's traitor, and cut him ...... with a thousand knives!" "It's Dou Kui, the head of the household.

Xiao Shaozong sighed: "The Yulin Army has internal ghosts and helped Qi Ning control the Yulin Camp, Xiao Wang had no choice but to immediately mobilize the soldiers and horses outside the city and enter the city to quell the chaos." ”

Lu Xiao said: "The prince should know that to mobilize soldiers and horses, there must be an order from the military department, and the soldiers and horses enter the city tonight, and the military department has no knowledge, is this .....?" ”

"Lord Lu, a thief is like fighting a fire, and there is no delay." Dou Kui immediately said: "Do you want the prince to inform the military department first, and then discuss the transfer of troops through the military department?" If that were the case, the thief would have run away long ago. ”

"Yes, the prince is simply decisive, so that Qi Ning can be trapped in the city in time." Immediately, an official said: "Now that the imperial city is besieged, it is difficult for the rebels to fly." ”

Xiao Shaozong said: "Lord Lu, the emperor gave me a golden arrow, originally to quickly deploy troops to quell the chaos, I really dare not delay, if Lord Lu thinks that this is against the law of the country, after the rebellion is quelled, Xiao Wang will be guilty." ”

Lu Xiao was speechless when he said this.

"Fetch the Golden Arrow!" Xiao Shaozong said in a deep voice.

There is another person coming up behind, holding a golden arrow rolled up with yellow silk, after Xiao Shaozong took it, he opened it carefully, the golden arrow is just an arrow shape, but it is not as long as an ordinary arrow, all officials know that this golden arrow and the gold medal and the jade seal all represent the emperor's power, the gold medal has always been given to the expatriate Qincha, and the golden arrow is directly used to transfer troops, the Gyeonggi soldiers and horses see the golden arrow, just like seeing the emperor, with this golden arrow, but can mobilize soldiers and horses in times of crisis.

"Lord Wang, when the assassin entered the palace to assassinate, didn't the secret guard in the palace make a move?" Lu Xiao frowned and said, "Why did the emperor ask the prince to transfer Yu Lin Wei?" ”

"The secret guards are distributed all over the palace, and the number is not large, if there are only a few assassins, it is naturally more than enough for the secret guards in the palace to deal with it." Xiao Shaozong said calmly: "But there are a large number of assassins entering the palace tonight, and they are attacking everywhere, in order to ensure that the assassins can be wiped out, it is naturally necessary to mobilize the Yulin Army." ”

"Since the Yulin Battalion has been mobilized, why does the prince still transfer the Xuanwu Battalion to the capital?" Lu Xiao asked.

Xiao Shaozong took out a note from his arms and handed it to Lu Xiao, Lu Xiao stretched out his hand to take it, glanced at it, and his face changed suddenly: "There is a mole in Yulin Camp?" Looking up at Xiao Shaozong: "Lord Wang, where did you get this?" ”

Xiao Shaozong said: "Xiao Wang rushed to the Yulin camp, ordered Chi Fengdian to lead the troops into the palace to suppress the thieves, when he went out of the UK, suddenly someone stuffed Xiao Wang this note, there were a lot of people at that time, Xiao Wang didn't know who stuffed it, and when he saw the content inside, he was also suspicious, but ...... If there is really an inner ghost in the Yulin camp, then there must be something wrong in the palace, so Xiao Wang transferred troops from outside the city to make a foolish plan, but he didn't know that the Yulin camp was really reversed. ”

Lu Xiao and Lao Shangshu glanced at each other, and they both showed suspicious looks.

"Are you sure the emperor has been killed?" Yuan Laoshangshu groaned slightly, and finally asked.

Xiao Shaozong sighed: "Xiao Wang only hopes that it is fake, but your father-in-law saw it with his own eyes, and he came out of the palace to report, and Xiao Wang couldn't believe it." ”

Lu Xiao glanced at the head of the imperial city before he said: "Lord, there are still queen mothers and many nobles in the palace, if you order the siege of the city, do you know the consequences?" ”

"Xiao Wang naturally knows." Xiao Shaozong sighed: "So Xiao Wang did not order the siege of the city, but temporarily besieged it, because he was worried that Qi Ning would be mad and would be detrimental to the queen and nobles." ”

Yuan Laoshang said: "Then what is the prince going to do now?" ”

"Xiao Wang has asked Qi Ning to hand over the emperor's holy body." Xiao Shaozong said solemnly: "It's just that this person is stubborn, fortunately, you adults came in time, what should I do next, Xiao Wang wants to discuss with you, and always discuss a good way, which can not only make the emperor's holy body no longer damaged, but also ensure the safety of the queen and the nobles, and the most important thing is to correct this kind of murder of kings and thieves." ”

Lu Xiao suddenly asked: "Lord, with all due respect, what is the reason why Qi Ning entered the palace to assassinate the emperor?" He is already the duke of the empire and is highly respected by the emperor, why would he rebel against the court and sneak into the palace to assassinate the emperor? Staring at Xiao Shaozong: "What reason does he have for doing this?" ”
