The guards and guards of Donghua Gate were stunned, "Those who do not obey the order, they will be killed" can be heard clearly, plus they all watched Prince Xuan run in front of him with blood, facing the muzzle of the black hole, no one dared to resist, and some people involuntarily touched the handle of the knife with their hands, but they didn't dare to pull it out after all.

The soldiers of the Xuan Army Guards Regiment in blue uniforms poured into the Forbidden City like flowing water.

The people in the Forbidden City, officials, officials, guards, and deacons...... Everyone was dumbfounded, everyone was like in a dream, and people could hardly find the right words to describe the shock in their hearts, only to feel that the entire Forbidden City was shaking.

King Bo and Túrin met under the slow road in front of the Concord Gate, and on the ground, they were still red.

Tulin raised his hand, stopped the soldiers of the Xuan Army who were about to rush into the Concord Gate, and raised his hand to salute: "Lord Wang, the military order is in your body, how offended!" ”

Bo Wang Qiang suppressed the shock in his heart, nodded, and said in a calmest tone as possible: "It's easy to say!" ”

paused slightly, "There is a purpose, and the Xuan army will take over the defense of Ouchi!" ”

Although the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother agreed to "Xuanjun to take over the defense of the Great Interior", at this moment, Wen Xiang and Cao Yuying are still in the Palace of Nourishing Heart, and the Queen Mother's "oral message" has not yet been transmitted.

However, the Xuan army has already seized the palace and entered, and if you don't say so, the Xuan army's behavior will become a rebellion; And the king, who was the minister of the guard, could not give an order to intercept - he did not dare or bear to "regret the eternal regret", and he also knew that even if he gave the order, the guards might not obey the order; Even if a few were to be ordered, they would not have played any substantial role other than giving up their lives in vain - no matter what, they would not be able to stop the Xuan army.

Therefore, King Bo had no choice but to settle down, assuming that Wen Xiang and Cao Yuying must have gotten the edict of "taking over the defense of the Xuan army from the Empress Dowager" from the Queen Mother.

Túrin's eyes flashed, his heels touched, and he made a military salute again: "Obey!" ”

The king called one of the guards, "Go and call all the foremen—all those who are on duty and those who are not!" ”

The guard hurried away.

Túrin smiled slightly, turned around, and shouted, "Whole team! The first battalion is left, the second battalion is right! ”

In fact, when the Xuan army entered the Forbidden City, it was not a rush in, but a small team, trotting into the Donghua Gate, each team, not only in a neat formation, but also the pace was exactly the same - a team of people, when they stepped with their left foot, they all walked with their left foot, and when they stretched their right foot, they all stretched out their right foot, just like a person.

After Túrin's command to "whole the team" was issued, the squads quickly closed and said, "Look to the left!" "Look to the right!" "Count!" "One, two, three, four, five, six, seven......" all kinds of slogans, one after another, in the blink of an eye, more than 1,000 soldiers, in the open space between the Xiehe Gate and the Donghua Gate, lined up in two neat columns, each column of four squares, looking horizontally and vertically, as if a knife had been cut.

"Report to the regiment commander, the first battalion has been assembled, please instruct!"

"Report to the regiment commander, the second battalion has been assembled, please instruct!"

Túrin nodded, satisfied, and then exclaimed, "Brothers! ”

In front of the Concord Gate, the guns were like a forest, and the Yafinch was silent.

Thurin pointed to the ground, "I wonder if you see any blood on the ground?" This is what our prince left! ”

King Bo's mind "boomed": What do you mean?!

I don't know if it's an illusion, Bo Wang only felt a fierce murderous aura, from the opposite side of the eight squares, rose up, rolled to the ground, he was by no means a cowardly and timid person, for a while, but the bones were weak, almost unable to stand.

"And," Túrin pointed to the ground again, "Assassin, that's where you took it!" ”

After a slight pause, he gave his hand to King Bo, "The one who took down the assassin is this Prince Horqin!" ”

In King Bo's mind, there was a slight "buzz": What?

"Brethren," said Túrin, in a loud voice, "let us thank Prince Korqin!" ”

Eight squares, more than 1,000 soldiers, chanted in unison: "Thank you, Lord Wang!" ”

These three words were shouted, and it really felt like the sky was shaking, and in the Forbidden City, the birds were startled, hovering in the air, chirping endlessly, and for a long time.

King Bo couldn't help but have a thought: This "Jiaozhao" is really "Jiao".

He calmed down and said, "Gu Shan, I really can't afford it, I didn't take the assassin alone......"

"Valley Mountain", the number of Túrin.

"At that time, the assassin's murderous deeds stopped at the hands of the prince after all!"

King Bo muttered in his heart, this Tugu Mountain, I haven't heard of any books, but I can speak, one by one.

"Alas, Huanghuang Ouchi," he sighed, "there is an Assassin - the Assassin is still a guard!" I am ashamed of the palace ban, and I am ashamed! It's not worth ...... to capture the Assassins, but to atone for my mistakes a little."

Speaking of which, he shook his head.

Túrin smiled slightly, "Okay, let's not talk about this for now, let's talk about business!" ”

"Uh, okay, let's talk about business - Gu Shan, look, how do we hand it over?"

Túrin pondered for a moment, did not answer his question directly, and asked, "Ask the prince, how many guards are there in the entire Forbidden City?" ”

King Bo thought for a moment and said, "Under the name of the guard, there are sixty first-class guards, one hundred and fifty second-class guards, two hundred and seventy third-class guards, and nine hundred Lanling guards, a total of ...... One thousand three hundred and eighty people. ”

After a pause, "In addition, there are also the guards of the Qianqing Gate and the imperial guards, but, Gu Shan, you also know, these two things are just a title, and the number is not large, and the one who is responsible for guarding the palace is the one I just said about the thousand three hundred and eighty people." ”

After another pause, "Of course, there are also the guards - however, the guards are only responsible for the four gates of the Wumen Gate, the Donghua Gate, the Shenwu Gate, and the Xihua Gate, as well as the guards of the four corner towers and the surrounding city walls, and they usually do not go to the palace." ”

"The guards don't talk about him first," said Túrin, "a thousand three hundred and eighty guards...... Well, it's about the same number of people I brought into the palace today. ”

"Yes."

King Bo echoed, glanced at the eight squares in front of him, and muttered in his heart: You mean...... Do you want one on top of the other?

"In this way," said Túrin, "these 1,380 guards, except for a few special places in the Military Aircraft Department, the Palace of Heart Cultivation, and the Zhongcui Palace, will temporarily take their own places and do not change......

Yes?

Bowang opened his mouth slightly: Aren't you here to "take over"?

"The Xuan army is here to take over," said Tulin, "not to smash the brothers' jobs—these 1,380 guards are 1,380 families!" They all rushed back, called the family, and couldn't drink the northwest wind? ”

King Bo didn't worry much about the guards going home to drink the northwest wind, and most of the guards in Ouchi were born in their own noble children, without this money, the family might not be hungry, but because of this, people are worried! -- Thousands of noble children under the banner of the flag, all of a sudden lost the messenger, so in the Eight Banners, how much turmoil does it have to cause?

He breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to speak, when Túrin continued: "The prince has an admonition that you must not overturn a boatload of people with a single rod - you must not bring disaster to all the guards just because there is a murderer among the guards! ”

This "prince" naturally refers to Prince Xuan.

King Bo thought to himself: Among the guards, maybe...... And what about the accomplices of this murderer?

was hesitating to say this, Thurin seemed to know what he was thinking, and said: "The prince also said, even if there are murderers' comrades among the guards, we will keep an eye on him up and down, inside and out, and we are not afraid of any more waves from him!" -- The prince said, in short, he would rather take a little risk himself, than -- or that sentence -- not to overturn a boatload of people with a rod! ”

Ha, that's really generous.

After thinking about it, King Bo already understood: Guan Zhuofan is so "generous", showing the world that the public is still secondary, and the main purpose is to show goodwill to the Eight Banners - look, I would rather take a big risk myself than smash your job!

However, King Bo also understands that whether it is "showing the duke" or "showing goodwill", there is a premise, that is, his own "edict": "There is a purpose, and the Xuan army will take over the defense of the inner city" - without this "purpose", people will not be polite to you!

Before the Xuan army set off, the so-called "receiving defense" must have made two sets of plans: if the Xuan army in the palace "took over the defense", 1,380 guards would temporarily "settle in their own positions and not make changes"; If the Xuan army is not allowed to "take over the defense" in the palace, these 1,380 guards, let alone rushing home to drink the northwest wind, are "those who do not obey orders, they will be killed", and it is not unusual!

People are polite, I can't take it as luck, King Bo didn't dare to slack off, and said: "Prince Xuan is selfless, which is impressive!" However, what should I do if Xuan Jun is ordered to take over the defense, Gu Shan, you say, I listen to you! ”

"The prince is too polite," said Túrin, "our two families, in our words, are 'joint duty'—"

After a pause, "However, I don't hide it either-to put it bluntly, let's just think that Xuanjun is the 'prison army'!" ”

"Joint duty" plus "supervising the army", the whole pattern is very thorough, King Bo nodded and said, "Okay! I understand! ”

Speaking of this, he smiled slightly wryly, "This time, there is such a horrific case in the palace, I am guilty of dereliction of duty, and I cannot escape the blame!" I don't know, will the 'above' open my vacancy? -- If the 'higher-ups' are gracious and allow me to remain in office, I, the Minister of the Guard, will listen to you, the head of the Guards, in everything! ”

"That's business," Túrin said very calmly, "If I take off this military uniform, I will say goodbye to the prince." ”

King Bo's heart was slightly hot.

"The prince has hand," said Túrin, "there must be a detailed map of the Forbidden City?" ”

"Huh? Oh, there is! ”

"Very well," said Túrin, "let's follow the map, and I will send a thousand men to which gate, which one will be sent to which temple, and which one will be sent to which street, and it will be distributed in a moment!" ”

"Good! Shall we find a room and sit ......down?"

"Not necessarily!"

Túrin looked up and pointed to the Concord Gate, "It's right here at the Concorde Gate!" Move a table, spread out the map, the wind is cool and the water is cold, isn't it also happy? ”

"Uh...... All right! ”
