"Light the beacon! Light the beacon fire! ”

The corner towers at the head of the city continued to burn clusters of beacon fires, and the scarlet flames wanted to break through the layers of fog, and after the two clashed, they presented a strange and indescribable picture, like a person born from the firelight who wanted to struggle to tear apart the sky, even if he tried his best, but the pain was abnormal.

The people of the capital under the beacon fire were panicked, Shen Ming and Du Shaoyin rode horses and galloped on the avenue, this is something that usually does not occur at all, ordinary people in the capital are absolutely not qualified to ride horses and gallop, once they are discovered, they will be killed immediately. But at this time, no one cared about this, the two of them came out of Tianfu Temple and galloped, the purpose of their trip was Shen Qianji's mansion.

Shen Ming acted immediately after listening to Du Shaoyin's narration, and he didn't even have time to explain, Du Shaoyin could only follow closely, and finally found an opportunity to explore along the way.

"Senior brother, do you also think that Shen Qianji has a problem?"

"It's hard to say, the first time I saw Shen Qianji, I had a feeling that this person was not a good person, and from his series of performances since then, the city government is quite profound. Ke Ran has been an official in the same dynasty as him for many years, and the two have had a lot of interactions, and his judgment of this person must not be wrong. ”

"I don't understand it very much here, Shen Qianji is a hero who was ordered to save the country in danger, the first two times he relied on his brave resistance to keep the capital, why did he become the object of suspicion this time?"

"We'll find out when we get there!"

"Senior brother!" Du Shaoyin saw that Shen Ming ran away first, and couldn't help muttering in his heart, "I always feel that this will be Ke Ran's means to eradicate dissidents?" Hey, anyway, we've been classmates for seven years, so I shouldn't have guessed him so maliciously. ”

The two of them greatly shortened the time with the help of horses, and they were originally very anxious when they were in a hurry, but when they arrived at the door of the Shen Mansion, Du Shaoyin was a little hesitant, how should this implement the monitoring plan? You can't just knock on the door, can you?

Du Shaoyin was still thinking about it, but saw that Shen Ming had already stepped forward to knock on the door knocker, and sure enough, he went directly to knock on the door! Du Shaoyin was so frightened that he hurriedly jumped off the horse and rushed over to stop Shen Ming, "Senior brother, we have to do this secretly, don't you have three hundred taels of silver here!" But Shen Ming didn't listen to Du Shaoyin's words at all, and still slapped the copper ring hard, and soon a doorman opened the door of the mansion.

"It's over!" At this moment, Du Shaoyin was thinking like this, but as soon as Shen Ming opened his mouth, he was even more devastated.

"Dare to ask Lord Shen if he is at home?"

"Who are you, and what are you looking for my family?"

"It's sent by Jing Zhaoyin in Xia, and the enemy near the city gate has already begun to attack, so I'm here to inform Lord Shen!"

Du Shaoyin sighed that Shen Ming, a decent gentleman, had such a deceptive little trick under the appearance, and was worried that this doorman would not take the bait, so he had to further explain: "If you are not at ease, we will take off the waist card for you!" The gesture touched towards his waist, and Shen Ming raised his eyes to look at Du Shaoyin's performance.

"No need!" Fortunately, the doorman stopped it in time, otherwise Du Shaoyin was really going to show his fox tail, he quickly turned around and asked, "Then we can go in and ask to see Lord Shen, right?" ”

"Your Excellency, he's not at home."

Du Shaoyin and Shen Ming's faces changed at the same time, and Shen Ming took the initiative to ask, "Dare to ask Lord Shen."

Where are you going? ”

"I don't know, if you're okay, I'll close the door." Seeing that the doorman was about to close, Du Shaoyin raised his hand to stop him from asking further, "Then when did Lord Shen leave the mansion?" ”

"About half an hour ago, right?" The doorman was not very sure, for him, the two people in front of him were even more suspicious, and he immediately closed the door of the mansion while Du Shaoyin was hesitating.

"Senior brother?"

"The reality seems to be moving in the worst direction step by step, maybe Ke Ran's concerns are right." Shen Ming jumped on the horse and said to Du Shaoyin, "Where do you think he will go?" ”

"I think. It's supposed to be the Imperial Palace, right? ”

"No, he will definitely not go to the palace at this time!" Shen Ming looked up in the southeast direction, and there was a red glow in the sky, which seemed to be the evening scene. "He's going to the city gates!"

Yan Keran put on his armor and prepared to leave the house, and after walking away a few steps, he looked back again and saw Yun Xuan's clear eyes.

"The enemy is attacking, this is expected for a long time, and I am going to carry out my mission. Stay in the house and wait for me to come back!" ”

"Be careful! My son and I are waiting for you! ”

"I will definitely come back safely, we haven't thought of my son's name, and when I come back, I will definitely give him the most suitable name!"

Yan Keran showed a smile in Fazi's heart, the battle has begun, he must use a smile to soothe Yun Xuan's panicked heart, he doesn't want her to worry and be afraid because of him, he must give her enough safety and hope. Yan Keran took a big step forward and hugged Yun Xuan tightly, using his body to warm Yun Xuan's gradually cold body, and finally kissed her affectionately on the forehead.

Yun Xuan looked at Yan Keran's distant back, and the uneasiness in her eyes slowly receded, and then she ordered the maid beside her: "Immediately gather the subordinates of the whole mansion!" ”

When Yan Keran left the mansion, he happened to meet Jiang Weizhen who rushed over, and before he could speak, Yan Keran ordered: "The enemy has begun to attack the city, I must go to the imperial city!" I have a task for you, and I can only rest assured if this task is handed over to you! ”

"Just the command!" Jiang Weizhen never dragged his feet when doing things at critical moments.

"I want you to guard the mansion!" Yan Keran pointed to the mansion behind him and said: "I want to defend the country, but I also want to protect my family, I am gone, I really don't worry about Yunxuan." Now that the princess is in the mansion, the safety of this place is entirely up to you! ”

Jiang Weizhen agreed without any hesitation, and Yan Keran shouted at the Imperial Forest Guards who had already been arranged outside the mansion: "After I leave, the command of this place will be handed over to Jiang Duwei!" ”

As soon as he heard this official position, Jiang Weizhen couldn't help but look at Yan Keran, Du Lieutenant is not a small official position among military generals, although it has not yet reached the position where he must be nominated by the emperor, but Du Wei must also be appointed after being approved by the Ministry of War, but it will definitely not be said so casually now, even if Yan Ke Ran is the master of the court.

"Your duty is to guard this mansion, the princess is in the mansion, if she has any mistakes, the military discipline will be punished!" Yan Keran took one last look, Jiang Weizhen turned his horse's head and headed towards the imperial city.

On the way to the imperial city, Yan Ke Ran had already ordered someone to go to the city gate to investigate the battle situation

Shi took out the talisman to mobilize all the royal guards, surrounded the imperial city to prepare for it, and rushed directly into the palace to meet the saint.

"The last general will knock on the emperor!"

"Don't be rude, tell me what's going on outside!"

Yan Keran looked at Emperor Liang's face full of anxiety, and had to reorganize the words that had come to his lips, and then said: "The battle report of the Divine Killing Cavalry should already be on the way to be delivered, and the last general thinks that for the sake of the future of the country, he also asks the emperor to let the queen take the prince to take refuge in the other palace first!" ”

"You're still thoughtful, and I think so too! The queen is already in the harem, and is currently protected by Chen Yuanzhi's forbidden army. ”

"Your Majesty, the Imperial Forest Guards have surrounded all the palaces, and they are the guardians of the outer city, and there are forbidden guards in the imperial city, which is safe for the time being. The last general will go to Zhengyangmen to supervise the battle! ”

Yan Keran was about to leave the Ming Yuan Palace when he happened to meet the arrival of the battle report of the Divine Killing Cavalry, so the originally open leg was withdrawn.

"Tell the Emperor! The battle of Jinchuanmen was the first to start, and the enemy then set fire to Jinchuanmen in the night and fog, and at present, General Yutai is organizing an army to counterattack! ”

"The beacon fire has been lit, what is the specific situation of the battle?"

"There are many enemies, and the pressure on the guards of Jinchuan Gate is very huge for a while, but General Yutai please rest assured that as long as he is there, he will be able to keep the capital!"

Emperor Liang had already begun to frown when he heard this, he looked back and asked the herald to step back, then looked at Yan Keran, and said: "After all, Tai Wengu is exaggerating, I am not very relieved about him, but I still believe in you." ”

"The last general, but listen to the emperor's will!"

"I want you to go to the front line immediately to see the battle situation, and at the same time pay attention to the movements of the Qi Mo Army and the Xiliang Army!"

"The last will obey!"

When Yan Keran flew out of the imperial city quickly, he glanced back at this great imperial city, the originally golden palace was dim at this time, and those faint golden lights had been suppressed by the black pressed ink, except for the three major halls, those harems were completely invisible.

"God, please continue to bless the beam this time!" Yan Keran couldn't help but start praying in his heart, this was something that had not appeared in the last two times, he had always thought that things were man-made, and whether he could keep the capital still depended on military strength, but this time he had a feeling of lack of strength, maybe people often pin all their hopes on those gods and Buddhas when they were powerless.

As soon as Yan Keran came out of the imperial city, a shadow flew out of the street on one side and followed him closely, this shadow was very fast, just slower than the war horse under Yan Keran's crotch, and he didn't lag too far behind for a while. But looking at Yan Keran, it didn't seem that he noticed the shadow that had been following him, and all his attention was on the front line.

On the front line, what is the situation on the front line? What if he fails to hold on to Jinchuan Gate? The Qi Mo Army and the Xiliang Army have not moved at this time, are they waiting for something? What is the situation on Shen Qianji's side, did Du Shaoyin follow his advice?

This series of doubts began to entangle Yan Keran's heart, and the more he went deeper into the battle front, the more entangled he became.
