In Kyoto City, Duan Lang sat in the car, looking at the familiar street scene on the side of the road, and couldn't help but feel a little emotional. From the first time he entered Beijing and was imprisoned by Zhan Feng, to the rise of the Heavenly Master Hall rampant in Kyoto. All of this seems to have happened yesterday.

The trauma of food shortage, after these days of cultivation, is basically better.

There was no figure of Mingyue in the car, and she had already followed Zhou Guangji Han Feng into Kyoto a day in advance. Before coming, Duan Lang also made some arrangements, after all, Kyoto, a land of tigers and wolves, may change at any time. It is too big a goal to let Yutai Mingyue follow him, so it is better to let him follow Han Feng, Zhou Guangji and others and act secretly in Kyoto.

In order to show that his body was not weak, the seventh prince deliberately did not take a chariot, but rode a war horse. Xiang Tian and Gu Fan and other eighteen guards followed left and right, although the number of the whole team was small, but the momentum was extraordinary.

"Your Highness the Seventh, after sending you back to the palace, we will go to the Heavenly Master Palace. If there is anything, you can send someone to the Heavenly Master Hall to find me. Duan Lang raised the curtain and said.

"Duan Lang, you enter the palace with His Highness tonight. After meeting my father, there are some things that I still need to discuss with you. The Seventh Prince Delong said.

Duan Lang thought for a while, nodded and said, "Okay, but whether we can get in or not depends on you." After Duan Lang finished speaking, he lowered the curtain.

The group was not walking fast, and the city gate was not very close to the palace, and the team had just walked halfway when Duan Lang's ears moved, and he commanded in the car.

"To the sky, Gu Fan, protect Your Highness!"

As soon as Duan Lang finished speaking, he saw a group of people rushing over and quickly surrounded everyone. The 2,000 city defense battalion is domineering in Kyoto, but in the eyes of Xiang Tiangu Fan and others, it is simply a group of garbage with nothing to show for it. Not to mention 2,000 people, even in the face of the encirclement of tens of thousands of soldiers and horses of the West Vietnamese army, they still fought in and out.

The Seventh Prince's eyes widened, and he immediately said angrily, "Bold, Your Highness is here again, who gave you such a bold son to dare to intercept the path of this prince." ”

In the team, Gao Zhizan, the head of the Prime Minister's Mansion, was also among them. However, Gao Zhizan didn't say anything, and a commander stood up and said with his fists clenched.

"I'm sorry Your Highness, the last general was ordered to come, please ask Your Highness and General Duan to accompany us to the camp."

"To the big camp? Hum! Whose orders are you? The Seventh Prince, Delong, said angrily.

"Back to Your Highness, we are waiting for the order of Lord Xiangguo." The commander said neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"Lord Xiangguo? Which battalion do you belong to? The Seventh Prince Delong asked.

"We are all soldiers and horses of the city defense battalion."

"Why, isn't the city defense battalion subordinate to the Ministry of War, and when did it belong to the Xiangguo?"

"This~, the city defense battalion has always belonged to the Ministry of War, but Lord Xiangguo is in charge of the government, and the small ones dare not listen, and I hope that His Royal Highness will not embarrass the small ones." The leader of the team looked at the Seven Princes in embarrassment.

"Since it belongs to the Ministry of War, the prince ordered you to return to the camp immediately, and there must be no mistake." The Seventh Prince, Delong, said, and reached out and took out the golden arrow.

When the commander who led the team saw it, he quickly knelt down and said, "The last general obeys the order!" ”

"Wait!" Gao Zhizan suddenly shouted, and in this case he had to stand up.

"Who are you?" The Seventh Prince looked at Gao Zhizan knowingly.

"Your Highness the Seventh, why didn't you know you not long after you left Beijing? Hehe, it doesn't matter, but the Ministry of War issued a general document, ordering His Royal Highness and Duan Lang to stick to the capital and not return to Beijing. His Royal Highness and General Duan disrespected the order, this crime, even if there is a golden arrow, it is useless. Commander Wang, although he carried out the orders of the prime minister, the prime minister's mansion will bear it for you if something happens. Gao Zhizan said lukewarmly.

"This~!" It's a bit difficult to lead the team leader, and I don't know what to do.

"Bold, do you want to disobey Xiangye's orders!" Gao Zhizan said angrily.

"Little ones don't dare! Come on, bring them all back to me. The commander of the team did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly ordered to take people.

"Daring, do you want to rebel!" The Seventh Prince, Delong, looked at everyone angrily, and took the long knife from his back to Tiangu Fan and the others.

Duan Lang didn't even bother to open the curtain, he wanted to see what Yu Ban was trying to do, did he really dare to detain the prince in the face of the world's disapproval. Don't look at the fact that Duan Lang has few people, but his momentum is not weak at all. Xiang Tiangu Fan and the others slashed their long knives, and the guards who had just surrounded them suddenly took a step back in fright.

"They don't dare to do it, give it to me!" Gao Zhizan shouted anxiously.

At this moment, a group of people rushed towards the palace. The leader is the eunuch Wei Dong, the chief administrator of Ouchi. Seeing that the Seventh Prince Delong was besieged, he immediately shouted screaming.

"The Holy Decree has arrived~!"

As soon as they heard that the holy decree had arrived, the city defense guards hurriedly got out of the way and half-knelt on both sides to receive the order. Gao Zhizan's face changed slightly, but in front of Wei Dong, he didn't dare to come nonsense. After all, Emperor Yuning has not died yet, and this world is still the world of Emperor Yuning.

"The holy decree is ~ the seventh prince Delong, and the protector general Duan Lang ~ to receive the decree!"

When the Seventh Prince heard this, he hurriedly jumped off his horse. Duan Lang picked up the curtain and said, "The minister is injured, and it is inconvenient to salute, so I hope the chief guard will forgive me." ”

Wei Dong didn't raise his eyelids, he didn't see his dress, and he sang loudly, "Pass on Your Majesty's imperial decree, order the Seventh Prince Delong, and the general Duan Lang to enter the palace, and there must be no mistakes!" ”

"Sons obey orders!"

"Obey the order!"

The Seventh Prince and Duan Lang agreed, and Gao Zhizan's face became extremely ugly. Now that there is a holy decree, it is impossible to let the city guards take people. Gao Zhizan hurriedly left quietly and quickly went back to report.

The Seven Princes and their entourage, accompanied by the palace guards, went to the palace together. The news of the Seven Princes and Duan Lang's entry into Beijing quickly spread to the major mansions. Today's Duan Lang is not a nobody, and his successive victories have made Duan Lang's reputation resounding throughout Kyoto. What's more, at this delicate time, he actually accompanied the Seven Princes into Beijing together, which suddenly made some people start to speculate.

As soon as Duan Lang and the others entered the palace, Wei Dong quietly wiped the sweat on his forehead, "Your Highness, General Duan, the two of you will go to the Linsheng Pavilion next to the Warm Pavilion to rest for a while, and after Your Majesty announces the summons, the old slave will immediately go and invite the two of you to come over." ”

The Seventh Prince was stunned for a moment, "Didn't my father make a holy decree, why didn't you take me to see my father?" ”

Wei Dong smiled awkwardly, "This holy decree~ is Your Majesty's dictation, the master is already asleep, and the old slave does not dare to disturb." ”

When Duan Lang and the Seventh Prince heard this, they immediately understood that there was no holy decree at all, and it seemed that this Wei Dong deliberately said it to Yu Ban and the others.

"Thank you, Manager Wei, I wonder how my father is now?" The Seventh Prince said gratefully.

"Master, he ~ is in a very bad situation, and there are fewer and fewer times when he is sober. However, the master has been talking about the Seventh Highness, so the old slave does not dare to lose. Your Highness, General Duan, the two of you should go to the Linsheng Pavilion first, the old slave didn't dare to leave the Warm Pavilion for too long, in case the master woke up, the old slave had to take care of it. ”

"There is the chief of labor and health, no matter what time it is, as long as my father wakes up, notify me immediately."

"Your Highness, rest assured, the old slave will not delay." After Wei Dong finished speaking, he left a eunuch on duty and hurriedly walked towards the warm pavilion.

The Seventh Prince and Duan Lang looked at each other, and in the palace, they completely felt the panic atmosphere before the death of the Son of Heaven.

The major mansions in Kyoto are all talking about the arrival of Duan Lang and the Seventh Prince. Xiangguo Yu Ban learned that they had entered the palace, although he was angry, he was also helpless. However, this sudden change made Yu Ban pay attention to Wei Dong. He never took this old eunuch who was once close in his eyes, but he didn't expect that at the critical moment, Wei Dong actually stood on the side of the Seventh Prince Delong. Yu Ban didn't know that Wei Dong didn't stand on either side at all, he was just loyal to Emperor Yuning now. At this point, even Lord Huai, who Emperor Yuning has always trusted, is not as good as Wei Dong.

In the garden of the back house of Xiangguo Mansion, Yu Ban and Lord Huai stood in the pavilion. After some secret talks, the two finally reached a mutually satisfactory condition.

"Lord Huai, although your conditions are a little heavier, the old man can agree to come down for His Royal Highness the Prince. However, you have to keep your promise. ”

Lord Huai put his hands behind his back and said disdainfully, "Just one Duan Lang can't make the climate, and the crown prince ascends the throne This is also what His Majesty meant." No matter who dares to get in the way, the old man will not agree. ”

"Okay, with the assurance, Lord Huai, I thank you for the prince."

"Don't forget your promise, 20 million taels of silver, I must get it before the crown prince ascends the throne."

"Lord Huai, don't you want to assist the prince and continue the continuation of the Investigation Division?"

"It's time to take a break when you're old." Lord Huai said with a sigh.

In this case, it is inconvenient for the old man to say more. As long as the news of Lord Huai's detention of Prince Delong is received, half of the silver taels will be delivered immediately. ”

"In any case, we must wait until Your Majesty dies. Otherwise, the old man is ashamed! ”

"Yes, but there must be no surprises. The day after His Majesty's death, if the Prime Minister does not receive the news, the Prime Minister will make another arrangement. ”

"Don't worry, the old man will do what he says. Leave! ”

Lord Huai said to leave, and a few flickers lost their figures. As soon as he walked here, the seemingly quiet back garden suddenly appeared.

Gao Zhizan walked over quietly, "Xiangye, do you trust him?" ”

"Humph! I only trust myself. Zhizan, immediately arrange manpower, once Emperor Yuning died, immediately surround the palace. ”

"No!"

Gao Zhizan agreed, and his eyes showed excitement. What he admires most over the years is this, Yu Ban will leave behind him if he does anything. It can be said that so far, in addition to facing His Majesty today, Gao Zhizan has never seen a forbidden miss.

Xiangguo Yu Ban arranged everything for the crown prince Dezhang, but at this time, the seventh prince Delong and Duan Lang walked into the warm pavilion of Emperor Yuning's recuperation.
