When Zhao Jin heard Shi Xin's words, he lost his strength, and his last glimmer of hope was gone. He slumped into his chair again, his eyes looking straight at the mountains outside the hall where it was still raining heavily. He couldn't see hope.

Shi Xin's temples were white, and his face was also full of exhaustion, looking at Zhao Jin's depression, he didn't know what it was like in his heart. She shook her head and turned to walk outside.

Zhao Jin looked outside and seemed to have seen the scene of the palace guards being slaughtered. The earth was stained red with the blood of all men, and the blood flowed into rivers after being washed away by the rain.

"General!" An armored palace guard officer and soldier ran towards the high platform of the school field, and this person was the person Zuo Pingjiao had just sent to inquire about the news.

Before the man could run to the high platform, he couldn't wait to shout: "General, something has happened!" His voice was so loud that most of the palace guards in the school field looked at the high platform in unison.

Zuo Pingzhen frowned and said, "What's wrong?" Panicked, come up and talk about it! "The thousands of palace guards on the school field still looked at the high platform motionlessly, completely unaware of what would happen.

The lieutenant ran to Zuo Ping's side, panting, and said, "There is not a single living person in the celebrant prison, and the celebrant is full of dead people and blood all over the ground. All the celebrants were killed, and even the others were killed."

"Even what? Say it! Zuo Pingzhen was really shocked.

"Even the commander was beheaded!"

"What!" Zuo Pingzhen's eyes widened, and his face was incredulous. Some of the palace guard generals behind him also showed the same expression. Zuo Ping's first reaction was that he felt that the person in front of him was lying, and the lieutenant in front of him was the henchman he had cultivated, and he believed that the henchman in front of him would not lie to him. The lieutenant in front of Zuo Pingjiao is a fellow countryman with him, both from Liaozhou, and his name is Sun Xingben. Zuo Pingzhen trusts him very much, and besides, there is no need for him to lie to himself at this time. There was such a big thing, Sun Xingben didn't dare to lie no matter what. This is what Zuo Pingzhen is convinced of.

Zuo Pingjiao dragged Sun Xingben's neck and roared angrily: "Do you really see it clearly? Zuo Pingzhen felt a thick murderous aura around him, and felt that he was about to come to a catastrophe.

The heavy rain in the sky fell even more, and when it slapped on Sun Xingben's face, he felt a hot pain.

"As soon as I entered the celebrant prison, I saw blood all over the ground, and all the celebrants were dead. I ran to the main hall and saw the body of the commander lying on a chair. Half of his neck was cut off. There is no reason not to believe what Sun Xingben said, but he thinks that it is impossible.

Zuo Ping's brain was running rapidly, "Killing people in the palace? Who has so much power? Could it be the emperor? No, the commander is the saint's henchman, how could the emperor kill him, and in such a way? ”

"Could it be the Empress Dowager? Or, yes, Shi Hongzong? Are the rumors true? ”

Zuo Ping's hand kept trembling, and he suddenly thought of something. "Could it be that the emperor sent me to guard the palace gate really to control Shi Hongzong? In other words, I have unknowingly participated in a huge game. But in this situation, it is obvious that the emperor has lost. ”

"Not good!" Zuo Pingjiao subconsciously said, he suddenly thought that if Zhang Zhongshang was killed, then the edict he received was fake. He thought that the oracle saying that he was not allowed to bring a blade was an invisible killing intent.

"What to do, what to do?" Zuo Pingzhen was wondering who could save him.

"Everyone, listen to me. Return to camp and assemble now! Hurry up" Zuo Pingzhen knew that the thousands of people in the school field had no weapons in their hands, and they were like lambs slaughtered at will, without any ability to protect themselves, so he had to take everyone back to the camp.

"Zhang Qianhu," Zuo Pingxuan turned around and shouted to several generals behind him.

"Subordinates are here" A big man in armor clenched his fists and knelt down on one knee.

"Lead a thousand men of your department, return to the camp immediately, and immediately enter the palace and rush to the celebrant after being fully armed. Wait for my next command. ”

The Qianhu surnamed Zhang, who was "subordinate obedience", hurriedly responded, and then immediately ran down the high platform to deploy troops and horses.

Zuo Pingzhen said to another Qianhu behind him: "Zhou Qianhu, lead a thousand people from your department, return to the camp immediately, and garrison the Xuanzi camp after being fully armed." Wait for my orders. ”

"Subordinates obey!" After saying that, another person jumped off the high platform.

"Wu Qianhu"

"The subordinates are here, and your department is still waiting here, and if the situation changes, you can act cheaply. If the commander sends me a message, let me know as soon as possible, understand? ”

"Understood!"

Zuo Pingzhen still didn't believe the news that Zhang Zhongshang was dead, and he was still a little skeptical of Sun Xingben's words. He turned his head sharply and shook off the rain on his head, and said to Sun Xingben: "The two of us immediately went to the celebrant for a visit, I want to go and see for myself, what happened?" ”

"Boom" A white light flashed in the sky, and then a thunderclap sounded. The rain became heavier and heavier, and not a single of the more than 3,000 people on the school field was not soaked, and a cool breeze with moisture blew through, making everyone shiver with cold.

The 3,000 people on the school field had been divided into three teams, and the two teams rushed out from the gates on both sides, and the middle team remained in the middle of the school field.

Zuo Pingjiao and Sun Xingben only brought a dozen people and hurriedly rushed to the celebrant in the palace. The celebrant belonged to the inner court, and only the palace guards could enter with knives in the entire Shangjing City. The palace guards had a total of 30,000 people, divided into three inner battalions and one outer battalion, a total of four battalions. The three inner battalions each had 3,000 soldiers and horses, and the 20,000 men and horses of the outer one battalion were under the direct command of Zhang Zhongshang.

Zuo Pingjiao took a long knife from the high platform of the school field, he always felt that it was very unreliable to have no weapon in his hand, and everyone who followed him also found a weapon on the school field. Zuo Pingqi walked in the front, and Sun Xingben and more than a dozen palace guards followed closely behind. As soon as they stepped out of the school field, more than 2,000 people in the school field ran out and ran towards the camp of the Xuanzi Camp.

Zuo Ping's footsteps, holding a long knife in his hand, his mood was very heavy. He doesn't know what to do now. It's a step at a time. He knew that the people who could kill people in the palace could not alarm the palace guards, there must be something wrong with the palace guards. Guarding the palace today are the palace guards of the Tianzi Battalion.

"Could it be that there is something wrong with the Tianzi Camp? Bian Wei, that guy has a different heart? Zuo Pingjian had too many doubts in his heart, he couldn't listen to Sun Xingben's words, and he couldn't help but be suspicious of the other battalions of the palace guards. His heart was really anxious at this time, and he unconsciously quickened his pace.
