Chapter 212: Assassination in the Army

This little soldier doesn't know whose subordinates it is, and he doesn't know how long he has been hiding in the rout!

There were fleeing soldiers everywhere, and no one noticed him at all, and no one noticed the difference in him!

The sword in his hand is a few inches longer than the average sword, and his whole person also gives people a sense of elegance and chic! Even in the clothes of an ordinary soldier, he still gives people this feeling!

At this moment, he suddenly burst out, and the sword in his hand pointed directly at Zhao Chen!

However, there were still a few imperial cavalry beside Zhao Chen, and these imperial cavalry were already feeling bad, and they were about to resist, when the invincible sword qi had swept over their bodies, and suddenly they even turned into several pieces with men and horses! No cavalry could stop the power of this sword!

"Not good! Someone has attacked Your Majesty! ”

"Rescue quickly!"

"Someone assassinated!" The rest of the cavalry next to him reacted, and they shouted and pounced on the little soldier!

A cavalryman had already pounced in front of the soldier, and the soldier sneered, and with a wave of the sword in his hand, the cavalryman fell to the ground, his body cut off from his waist, and blood spilled all over the ground!

Two more cavalrymen pounced on both sides, and the little soldier's body shook and disappeared in place! Then I saw that the two cavalrymen also fell to the ground, not breathing!

The martial arts of this little soldier were extremely strong, and those cavalrymen who rushed were killed by him one after another! He is getting closer and closer to Zhao Chen!

Zhao Chen also felt a little bad at the moment, he hurriedly turned his horse's head, wanting to avoid the edge for the time being!

The little soldier was only three zhang away from Zhao Chen...... Two zhang ...... One Zhang......

Seeing that he was about to come to Zhao Chen's side, Zhao Chen was also ready to fight back! At this moment, an old man rushed out! The old man stepped forward with one palm, and actually blocked this little soldier!

"Your Majesty Xuanwu! Get out of here! The old man said in a deep voice.

Zhao Chen was stunned, and he no longer hesitated at the moment, and rode forward on horseback! Behind Zhao Chen, countless imperial soldiers protected Zhao Chen and moved forward together! They left here as fast as they could!

And the little soldier is fighting the old man!

The soldier's martial arts are unusually clever, and the sword qi is vertical and horizontal, I don't know how many defeated soldiers died there! And although the old man's martial arts are not as good as this little soldier, they are not far behind!

This old man only relied on a pair of fleshy palms, and the palm power was vertical and horizontal, completely blocking the sword qi!

"It's you!" The little soldier suddenly let out a long roar, and the sword aura became even more powerful! At this moment, the old man could no longer resist, and the clothes on the old man's body were shattered like a butterfly!

The little soldier sneered and shot with a sword, and at this time, more than a dozen generals who had broken the army suddenly rushed over together to block the little soldier!

"Why do you want to help Emperor Xuanwu?" The little soldier snorted coldly.

"It turned out to be the Taoist of Xiaoyaozi! I haven't seen you for many years, and the Taoist martial arts are better than in the past! The old man was protected by a group of defeated generals at this moment, and he breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile.

"Humph! You haven't answered me yet, why do you want to help Emperor Xuanwu? The soldier said coldly.

It turned out that he was none other than the Xiaoyaozi who entered Guanshan with Wanyan Zongwang and Wanyan Lou's room that day! He looked for an opportunity to assassinate Zhao Chen! Today was supposed to be the best time, but this old man ruined his big thing!

"Emperor Xuanwu is a young man, and the Great Song Dynasty may have to rely on him in the future! That's why I helped him! The old man pondered for a moment and said.

"You are a subordinate of Emperor Jianyan, aren't you afraid that Emperor Jianyan will blame you if you do this? We Han people pay attention to a loyal word, and you also boast of being a loyal minister, but can what you do now be considered loyal? Xiaoyaozi said disdainfully.

"For the sake of the future of the Great Song Dynasty, I am also forced to do so!" The old man sighed with a complicated expression on his face.

"If this matter spreads, Emperor Jianyan will never spare you!" Xiaoyaozi sneered.

"What Your Majesty wants to do with me, I am willing! Today, I am also enthusiastic, so I did such a thing! Well, when today's work is over, I will personally ask Your Majesty for sin, and ask Your Majesty to condemn me! The old man gritted his teeth and said.

"My lord, it doesn't have to be this way! We are all your cronies, and we will never say anything about today! One of the generals next to him said.

"My lord, don't listen to his nonsense! Emperor Xuanwu didn't come at all, so how could he rescue Emperor Xuanwu? Another general said.

"My lord, as long as you kill him today, no one will know about it!" A general pointed to Xiaoyaozi and said.

"Needless to say! I did make a big mistake today! I'll plead for it myself! The old man shook his head and said with a gloomy expression.

He didn't know why he made such a choice today, maybe it was because he had heard about Zhao Chen's defeat of Jin Bing before, and he also vaguely felt that Zhao Chen was the hope of China! Therefore, in such a situation, he has always been loyal to help Emperor Xuanwu! This is equivalent to betraying Emperor Jianyan!

For countless years to come, he may have to carry a spiritual baggage!

Xiaoyaozi saw that Zhao Chen was already far away, gritted his teeth with hatred, snorted coldly at the moment, and quietly walked away, not to mention it.

******

"Who saved me just now?" Zhao Chen was under the protection of the imperial soldiers at the moment, and he asked.

"Your Majesty, that person is Zong Ze!" Kang An Road.

Kang An was a close confidant of Zhe Keqiu back then, and he also went to Kaifeng with Zhe Keqiu, and he once met Zong Ze!

"Zong Ze, it turned out to be him!" Zhao Chen was stunned.

He never dreamed that Zong Ze would help him! Zong Ze is Zhao Gou's subordinate, and it was almost Zong Ze who supported Zhao Gou to the top back then! Zhao Chen really didn't understand, why did Zong Ze save him?

"This person is a close confidant of King Kang's traitor, and the last general does not understand why he wants to save His Majesty! Strange, strange! Kang An also muttered.

"Very good, this man has saved my life, and I will repay him in the future! After I get the world, I will let him enjoy the glory and wealth! Zhao Chen said.

In fact, Zhao Chen still has other confusions in his heart, in history, Zong Ze died in the second year of Jianyan! It is now the fourth year of Xuanwu and the fourth year of Jianyan, and it stands to reason that Zongze has died, why is he still alive in the world? He didn't know that history had changed, because of Zhao Chen's presence, the pressure on Zhao Gou was much less, and the pressure on Zong Ze as the prefect of Kaifeng was also much smaller! Moreover, Lin Lingsu went to Kaifeng last year, Lin Lingsu had already noticed that Zong Ze had a problem with his body, and Lin Lingsu had done a lot of recuperation for Zong Ze at that time, so Zong Ze's lifespan was much longer than in history! At least until now, Zong Ze's body has not failed!

"Your Majesty, there is such a powerful assassin in the enemy army! Just a few breaths ago, more than thirty soldiers in our imperial camp fell under the hands at that moment! I think we might as well get out of here and return to Wugong County! Kang An said.

Kang An was most worried about Zhao Chen's safety, so he said.

"No, you don't! Let's continue to the east, this time we must do our best to snipe the enemy! Zhao Chen said.

"Your Majesty, take off your clothes, and you will wear your clothes!" Kang An said suddenly.

Although he was in the army, Zhao Chen's identity was not trivial, and the clothes he wore were different from those of other soldiers, which was why he was recognized by the assassins! Otherwise, in the night, the snow is all over the sky, and even Xiaoyaozi may not be able to recognize Zhao Chen at once! Although Xiaoyaozi has repeatedly assassinated Zhao Chen, he has never seen Zhao Chen's appearance! Only when Kaifeng City was broken, he had seen the appearance of the stand-in Xiao San'er, but now it has been many years since Kaifeng City was broken, and Zhao Chen is no longer a child! Therefore, Xiaoyaozi was able to identify Zhao Chen completely by virtue of his clothes!

Zhao Chen nodded, and took off his clothes immediately! Kang An put on Zhao Chen's clothes!

After that, Kang An ordered a soldier to take off his clothes, and Zhao Chen also put on the clothes of a soldier at this moment, and he even rode on the horse of an ordinary soldier! In this way, he is in an army of thousands, and it is impossible for anyone to recognize him!

They galloped all the way to the east, and then they covered up from the east to the west!

Many of the routs had just fled here and encountered the officers and soldiers of the imperial battalion, and under the cover of the officers and soldiers of the imperial battalion, they either died there, or the newly assembled ranks were in chaos! Many have gone to the west again in terror, and the rout is coming from the west, clashing and trampling with each other, and the army is dead!

There was still an hour before dawn, and at this time, Zhao Chen led five thousand imperial soldiers to the north, and then they went all the way west to prepare for Wugong County!

******

The sky had already dawned, and it was not until this time that King Kang's army calmed down a little!

Many of the soldiers looked around in horror, but there was no one else but their own army!

The fire in the barracks was slowly extinguished, but the stench of many corpses being roasted came, and many soldiers couldn't help but vomit!

Qin Hui stood on the top of a small hill, looking at the scene below, wanting to cry without tears!

"Gather your army quickly and see how many dead and wounded you have!" Qin Hui said.

Now Zong Ze, Zhang Jun, Wang Yan and others are going to do this!

Liu Guangshi had already rushed over with his Liu Jiajun at this moment, and seeing the tragic scene here, Liu Guangshi was very happy! Now that the strength of the Zhang family army and the righteous army has been damaged, although he Liu Jiajun has also been ambushed before, it is still relatively good for them! Therefore, after this battle, the strength of his Liu Jiajun has been "relatively improved", so Liu Guangshi is overjoyed!

It was not until the afternoon that the casualties in the army were counted, and last night there was chaos, so the number of soldiers killed by stampedes and fires exceeded 50,000, and nearly 100,000 were slightly or seriously injured! What's more, the morale of the army has been greatly hit! Until now, they don't know how many people attacked them last night, where the enemy came from and when the enemy will come again!

"There are so many dead and wounded!" After Qin Hui got the battle report, he wanted to cry without tears!

"Lord Qin, we just got a piece of news!" Zhang Jun glanced at Zong Ze and said suddenly.

"What's the news?" Qin Hui said.

"It is said that it was Emperor Xuanwu who led the troops last night! Someone wanted to assassinate Emperor Xuanwu, but Lord Zong Ze actually saved Emperor Xuanwu! Zhang Jun said.

"How is this possible?" Qin Hui said in disbelief.

"At that time, there were many soldiers who saw it! The end will not be a lie! Zhang Jun said.

Qin Hui stayed there, his gaze turned to Zong Ze, and Zong Ze nodded lightly!

"How so? How so? Emperor Xuanwu was just a teenager, how could he dare to lead the troops in person? You must have read and heard it wrong! Qin Hui felt too unbelievable, and said.

"I will report this matter to Your Majesty and ask for Your Majesty's will!" Zhang Jun sneered.

"No, I will tell Your Majesty about it personally! I beg your majesty to punish you! Zong Ze said lightly.

Qin Hui was still in disbelief, of course, he would never punish Zong Ze at this moment! One Qin Hui is only the deputy minister now, although the deputy minister has a noble status, but he is not much higher than Zong Ze! Zong Ze is the prefect of Kaifeng, and his status is extremely high! There are only two kinds of people who served as the prefect of Kaifeng in the Song Dynasty, one is the prince, Song Taizong and Song Zhenzong all served as the prefect of Kaifeng before they ascended the throne, and the other is the world's famous ministers, such as Kou Zhun, Ouyang Xiu, Fan Zhongyan, Su Shi, Sima Guang, Bao Zheng, etc. If the prince serves as the prefect of Kaifeng, then when the emperor goes out, the prefect of Kaifeng can handle state affairs, and the order of the prefect of Kaifeng is equivalent to the emperor's edict! If the minister serves as the prefect of Kaifeng, he can try other court ministers, just like Bao Zheng in history, and he can even try the prime minister of the current dynasty in the name of the Kaifeng prefect! Now Zong Ze, the prefect of Kaifeng, is commanding all the rebels in the north, and his power is not trivial! Even if Qin Hui is the deputy prime minister, he does not have the power to punish Zong Ze!

Moreover, Zong Ze's prestige is too high, if he punishes Zong Ze now, I am afraid that the righteous army will be in chaos, and the plan to counterattack Shaanxi will also fail completely at that time!

"Emperor Xuanwu was among the enemy yesterday! Surely they are not running away now! Lord Qin, I am willing to lead a large army to hunt down and kill Emperor Xuanwu! Zhang Jun said.

"Good!" Qin Hui thought for a long time and nodded.

Say:

Thank you for your support!
