When the horse's hooves shattered the silence of the night, many people in Chang'an City learned about what happened tonight, and those who knew the inside story understood that a political game was about to inevitably begin.

In fact, except for some ambitious guys, for many courtiers, they don't want His Majesty the Emperor to show his tendency towards the prince prematurely, because there will be too many variables in the years to come, which is a great test for the psychology of the courtiers.

Especially now that the situation between the DPRK and China is complicated, the thoughtful ministers have already sensed a hint of unusual meaning from some of the things that the emperor has done recently.

If you are on the wrong line...... That's a taboo in officialdom! Therefore, everyone is very cautious about such things.

But tonight, when all the important ministers received the secret reports from their subordinates from various sources, they knew that there was no way to avoid it. Since it has already begun, no one knows how big this fire will burn and whether it will burn on their heads......

Therefore, although the streets are empty, there is no secret knowledge of how many lurking agents are spying on the beginning of a big scene, so as to report truthfully to their masters, so that they can make correct judgments as soon as possible.

Tian Shaozhong wore armor tonight, accompanied him on a horse, and carefully calculated along the way, thinking that there would be no major problems. What about the guards of Jianzhang Palace? The previous crime of killing people on the street could not be escaped, but later the person who saved people dared to go out of Weiyang Palace privately late at night! This is also a big crime.

What's more, tonight is his own people inside and out, and everything can be covered up in the past, and then black and white are not up to themselves?

Thinking about it like this, my heart is already determined. The distance was not far, Sama was coming in a flash, and in the light of the torches in the distance, Steward Ping had been waiting by the side of the road for a long time.

For the henchmen of the princess's mansion, Tian Shaozhong didn't dare to trust him too much, and before he got close, he threw the stirrups off the saddle and got off the horse, and saluted each other.

Steward Ping really cared about this, seeing that he was so interested, he was also full of smiles, stretched out his fat hand and patted his arm: "I want to trouble Major General Tian to come in person, Ping is grateful." This friendship must be conveyed to the princess on her behalf. Ha ha! ”

Tian Shaozhong couldn't help but be polite, and after listening to Steward Ping's general explanation of the current situation, he couldn't help frowning slightly.

"It's not easy to make the movement in the capital too big! It is important to solve it quickly and quickly. ”

The previous lieutenant had been waiting by the side for a long time, and when he heard his own general say this, he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "So that the general will know that the terrain occupied by those people is very favorable, and the brothers have helped to attack a few times before, but they are all injured and have not attacked!" These guys have a vision......

Tian Shaozhong snorted: "What about the bravery you usually brag about? You can't solve it with a few people! I've told you many times that you need to use your brains to fight! You can't just slash and slash recklessly!"

The lieutenant bowed his head and said yes again and again, his face full of shame.

"Alas! This is not to blame the brothers, although there are only six or seven people on the other side, but the ferocity of desperate efforts is difficult to resist for a while, and my men have also suffered more than a dozen casualties. Steward Ping waved his hand, signaling that Tian Shaozhong didn't have to blame the captain who led the team.

I looked at the soldiers who were patrolling the guards not far away, all of them were quietly listening to the order, and Steward Ping had a bottom in his heart, and he was not afraid that those people would escape.

Tian Shaozhong asked Steward Ping again if the people in Steward Ping had revealed their identities, and Steward Ping shook his head in denial.

Then that's a lot easier! It's best to pretend that you don't know who the other party is. Since it is a bandit in the city, there is much more reason to kill him, but as for the trouble in the future, everyone is dead, what else can be done?

The two of them have decided, Tian Shaozhong waved his hand, and a confidant had already come over to obey the order. After listening to the general's orders, he immediately ran back to the eight hundred horsemen, and so on, divided into several cavalry groups, and surrounded the house.

But dozens of other horsemen chose a distance that was not close or far, and spread out slightly, but they all took their bows and arrows from their backs and were ready.

Let's say that in the house, a few people have also rested at this time, but looking out from the cracks, they are all a little desperate.

Wei Qing barely struggled to do it, leaning in the corner, and asked Gongsun Ao about what he saw outside. Looking at the injured brothers, it is also confusing.

He slowly straightened up and came to the window, stumbling and almost falling again, but several guards hurriedly supported him.

"In any case, we can't all die here together today! If you have a chance to escape, you must not take care of me anymore, even if only one person is left alive, it is possible to tell Mrs. Wei and His Majesty the Emperor the truth tonight. Wei Qing said with a serious expression.

"Listen to the patrol guards on the other side, this matter is done by one person and one person is responsible! They are the guards of the palace, and they have nothing to do with it, so if they come to me for anything, please let them go. ”

Wei Qing was lucky, and shouted these angry words loudly. Everyone behind him exclaimed in unison, and he waved his hand, indicating that there was no need to say more.

Unexpectedly, before his voice fell, someone on the other side had already shouted: "Hugh is talking nonsense!" There are no guards here, a few thieves dare to pretend to be a crime, and the crime will be added to the crime!"

"We are really the guards of Jianzhang Palace, and we fled here only because we were framed by traitors, and we are definitely not impersonating."

"Don't talk nonsense, just put down your weapons and arrest them! As for the rest, there is no need to rap. ”

Then they saw the torches flickering outside, the neighing of horses and the sound of hooves, and the clashing of weapons, which fixed them in all directions.

The whole street was already slaughtered, Wei Qing sighed, no matter how bad it is today. Trapped here, trying to rush out is a dead death.

Tian Shaozhong saw that there was no movement inside, and made a gesture to the back, those soldiers on standby had already drawn their bows in their hands, and when they gave the order, they fired a volley first.

Everyone in the house had already sought shelter in a safe corner, only to hear a burst of hail. The roof of the house was made of rough wood, but fortunately it was stronger, and the feathered arrows that came in only through the doors and windows were nailed everywhere, stirring up dust, but no one was hurt.

After three rounds of feather arrows in a row, a wave of soldiers began to attack, and the people of the Ping steward were also entrapded, but they didn't expect that the people inside were fine, and they fought fiercely, leaving a few corpses and retreating.

Tian Shaozhong frowned, these people are really fierce! Hmph, just wait, let's see if it's going to be so fierce for a while.

The order was suspended, and the rest of the soldiers retreated. A large open space flashed out, and another group of men dismounted, each with a bow and arrow, and stepped forward a few steps together, but they came up with a few other bags of arrows.

When I opened the quiver, I saw that it was different from others, and it turned out that the arrows were wrapped in cotton silk oil wax, which was commonly known as "rockets" in the army.

In this era, this thing is a sharp weapon in the army. At first, it was only used to attack fortified cities. Because the requirements for maintenance and carrying are extremely high, they are rarely used.

I saw that someone had built a big fire out of miscellaneous wood, and when it was lit, a flame rose up. The archers set their arrows on fire, drew their bows and arrows on their knees, and were in their positions, ready to be fired at the first order.

Tian Shaozhong and Ping San glanced at each other, and they were all smiling. This big killer weapon is used in such a small place, no matter how great your ability is, it will not be able to escape!

The people in the house had already seen that the sporadic fires in the night were flickering like ghost fires, and they knew that it was not good, and they scolded the other party for being vicious, and they wanted to treat their own people with such means, but surrounded by heavy soldiers, it was impossible to escape!

This is clearly the intention to burn everyone alive inside.

The situation is critical! At this moment, the sound of horses' hooves sounded again at the corner of the long street, and a team of armored soldiers suddenly flashed out.

The most conspicuous thing is the white feather on the helmet on the head, reflecting the red robe, which is the arrival of the palace feather forest army.

Tian Shaozhong was shocked, and secretly said Why did he alarm Yulin Jun? The patrol guards and the Yulin army have their own responsibilities, and the well water has always been the river water. What are they doing here?

When they got closer and closer, more than ten zhang away, Qi Qi stopped the horse's hooves, and the first general waved his hand, signaling not to move lightly behind him.

"The patrol guards are here to take thieves, I don't know why General Xiao Li is here?"

Tian Shaozhong had already recognized who the person who led the team was coming. It was Li Kang, who had always been at odds with him in the army!

In the Han Army, there are a few young and handsome people, and there are many people who are called future generals. And Li Kang and Tian Shaozhong are among the best.

Although they also have a relationship with the elders in the family, their own abilities are indeed much higher than their peers. In addition to the difference in personality that is difficult to get along, what makes Tian Shaozhong jealous is that Li Kang's congenital situation is too good.

Li Dang was selected into the East Palace as a son of a good family when he was a teenager, and accompanied Liu Che, who was the crown prince at the time, to practice arrows, and it was more than ten years in a flash. The crown prince became the son of heaven, and Li Dang followed him, and took charge of the most personal Yulin army guard.

This affection is not profound, and this trust is not heavy.

Therefore, mixed with various factors, the two have never had any friendship, let alone sympathy for each other, when Li Kang's pride collides with Ueda Shaozhong's rebelliousness, tonight is destined to be a comeback!
