Fifty miles outside the city of Luodu, at the Mengjin ferry, countless torches illuminated the four pontoon bridges on the river, shining as bright as day.

Countless officers and soldiers of the Zhenbei Army, emerging from the reeds where they were hiding, lined up through the pontoon bridge, and re-lined on the south bank of the Yellow River.

Pei Jiao had already changed back to the general's Mingguang armor, standing on Meng Jindu with a sword in his hand, and looked at the army crossing the river with a serious expression.

。

Eighty miles southeast of Luodu, there was also a large cavalry, carrying torches, carefully passing through a rough mountain road.

When I got closer, I looked at the military robes under their armor, all of them were apricot-yellow, and it was obvious that they were the army composed of the clan tribes that the Initial Emperor had high hopes for.

"Your Highness, we must speed up again, otherwise we will miss the deadline." A white-bearded Grandmaster Elder, dressed in old armor and riding on horseback with a straight waist, looked anxiously at the Huangfu Xuan who led them.

Huangfu Xuan lay on the horse's back and shook his head weakly. "Lone really can't hold on, let's rest for a while and wait for dawn before we leave."

"Your Highness, we can wait, Your Majesty can't wait!" The elder's name is Huangfu Xun, who is a veteran who followed Gaozu to fight the world, and after returning to his hometown for many years, he has been training troops in Xudu. At the time of crisis, he put on the battle again, but he was so anxious that Huang Fuxuan pulled his beard and said: "There are still a full eighty miles from here to Luodu, we can't cross Songshan tonight, and we won......'t be able to get there tomorrow when it's dark."

"I know, I know, but I really can't bear it......" Huang Fuxuan said as tears fell, and he marched nearly two hundred miles in one breath, and his inner thighs were already blurred with blood. From childhood to adulthood, where did Huangfu Xuan suffer this crime? "Why don't you go first? Waiting for the footmen behind you? ”

"It's important to rescue Your Majesty, if you really can't do it, just listen to Your Highness!" Huang Fu Ke, who served as the captain of Huangfu Xuan's guard, took the initiative to ask: "I'll lead the way for the army!" ”

"Good idea, let's go......" Huang Fuxuan took a sip of stalactite wine, closed his eyes and lay on the back of the horse and stopped talking.

"Alas, well......" Huang Fuxun knew that he had to make a decision, so he nodded in agreement.

。

Deep in the mountains, the construction site of the imperial mausoleum.

The 50,000 land valve tribes pretending to be Xiuling Minfu have all taken off their tattered cloth shirts and are changing into the sophisticated equipment that they have taken out from the treasure house of Gaozu.

The god-destroying crossbow of the Eastern Qi, the Zhuge Repeater of the Western Shu, the fierce train of the Western Wei, and the earth-shaking thunder of the Southern Dynasty...... Countless divine weapons that had been sealed by Gaozu were piled up in front of Lu Valve's disciples like a small mountain, waiting for them to take them.

Lu Wei and several generals of the land lord stood on the hillside, looking at Luodu City in the distance with a stern expression. At this time, it was already the fourth watch, and the city was dark, only the lights in the Ziwei Palace were brilliant.

。

The moon has sunk in the west, and the Ziwei Palace is still brightly lit and busy, because today is the day of the Lichu ceremony.

Since last night, the palace people in charge of today's ceremony have been busy all night. By this point, the preparations were almost complete.

He served as the envoy of today's ceremony, it was the Zhongshu that made Xiahou not hurt, and he served as the deputy envoy Yu Linwei commanded the envoy Huangfu Kang, and carefully inspected the throne and the golden platform curtain set in front of the Jianyuan Palace, and looked at the timing drum set up by the Qintian Supervisor, the treasure case set up by the Shang Bao Division, and the Zhonghe Shaole set up by the Jiaofang Division.

By the time the inspection was over, it was already dark, and Huang Fukang asked softly, "My lord, can I invite Otsuka Zai to come?" ”

"Hmm." Xiahou thought about it again without injury, and felt that it was foolproof, so he ordered someone to open the palace gate in advance and invite Otsuka Zai to come to the rehearsal ceremony.

The gate of heaven should be opened half an hour in advance, and the Yulin Guard, who was dressed in armor, came out in a neat line, holding flags on both sides of the Tongtian Road.

。

In Xiahou Fang, Xiahou Ba was already dressed and sat in a special carriage. In addition to the luxurious decoration, the carriage was also extraordinarily heavy, and it took four tall horses to pull it.

After receiving the news that Xiahou was not injured, he got into the carriage with the support of Xiahou Immortal.

The carriage slowly drove out of the fangmen, and more than ten Xiahou Valve Grandmasters such as Xiahou En, who were also wearing armor, led the five hundred Xiahou Valve heavy armor guards, and tightly guarded the carriage in the center.

On the street, it was already full of Xiahou Valve's troops, and they took three steps and one post, five steps and one sentry, blocking the road to Ziwei Palace, and no one was allowed to approach a step.

At this time, the sky was just dawning, Xiahou Ba opened the window, looked at Xiahou Erlang who was waiting outside, and felt a lot more comfortable.

"Have you occupied the Tianjin Bridge?" When he saw Ziwei Palace, Xiahou Ba asked Xiahou Endao outside the car window in a low voice.

"Lord Hui, the Great Elder has already led the army into the city and is rushing towards Tianjin Bridge." Xia Houen hurriedly replied in a deep voice.

"Hmm......" Xiahou Ba nodded and stopped talking.

。

In the Changle Palace, Du Hui put on two layers of protective soft armor for the initial emperor, and then put on the dragon robe.

The initial emperor stared at himself in the bronze mirror without a moment, today is really the most heroic moment in his life, no matter whether the outcome is success or failure, he can spit out the blocks accumulated over the past ten years.

"Your Majesty," Lu Yun quietly entered the hall and whispered beside the Initial Emperor: "Xiahou Ba has already set off, and after a stick of incense, he will enter the Ying Heavenly Gate." ”

"Hmm." The muscles on Initial Emperor Tieqing's face tensed, and he nodded heavily.

"The minister is going to meet with Gonggong Zuo, please be careful with Your Majesty." Lu Yun clenched his fists at the Initial Emperor and prepared to turn around and leave.

"Why didn't Lu Xian come?" But I heard the first emperor ask.

"Oh." Lu Yun hurriedly explained: "Back to Your Majesty, my master has a whim, and he has a premonition that Zhang Xuanyi may appear, and he has already gone out of the city to stop him, even if he can't stop him, he will be delayed for an hour or two." ”

"Zhang! Black! One! The Initial Emperor looked hideous for a while, gritted his teeth and said: "Ten gongs, nine places have him!" ”

"Your Majesty doesn't have to worry too much, as long as you kill Xiahou Ba, you don't have to worry about Zhang Xuanyi." Lu Yun hurriedly comforted in a deep voice: "He can't ask His Majesty to kill people to pay for his life, right?" ”

"Yes, he and I have a blood alliance...... Du Hui also said hurriedly.

The face of the initial emperor is just better.

After Lu Yun retreated, Du Hui held a sword in his hand and followed the emperor out of the Changle Palace.

When the first emperor ascended the Changle Gate Tower, the first rays of sunlight also shone on the glazed tiles of Ziwei Palace.

The initial emperor set up a pergola, only to see that in a golden light, five hundred heavily armored guards escorted Xiahou Ba's car and slowly drove into Yingtianmen.

When Xiahouba's carriage drove out of the city gate cave, a loud bang was heard, and the jack gate of Yingtianmen fell with a bang!

On the tower of Yingtianmen Gate, there was a thunderous roar of Huangfu Pixian:

"Ordered to rebel and punish the Xiahou rebels!"
