"Your Excellency, Qingyun Palace is on fire."

Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin had nothing to do, so in order to play time, the two put on the chessboard to play against each other, and when it was playing, a guard entered the door to report.

"Why did they set a fire to Qingyun Palace?" Zhao Xin frowned slightly when he heard this, and couldn't help but look at Li Hongyu, who was sitting opposite, looking a little incomprehensible.

She didn't think that Qingyun Palace was on fire for no reason, it must have been set by Li Liang's people, but for a while she couldn't understand the other party's intention to do so, and it was right to set fire to Gyeongbokgung Palace, and there was only Queen Renmu who was imprisoned in Qingyun Palace.

"One is to rescue Queen Renmu from Li Hui's subordinates under the pretext of fighting the fire and help them stabilize the situation, and the other is probably to use the fire as a sign to notify their people to do it."

Li Hongyu smiled slightly, and landed the chess pieces in his hand on the chessboard, "Yes, it is a move to kill two birds with one stone." ”

Zhao Xin slightly agreed with what Li Hongyu said, although she thought of the first point that Li Hongyu said, but she didn't realize the second point "fire as the number", after all, she had never participated in military operations, so she neglected this.

In ancient times, the means of communication were backward, so if Li Liang's subordinates in Seoul wanted to notify the people outside the city to do it together, they had to use this simple and effective method.

At this time, Li Kun's mansion.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the national fortune of North Korea is in your hands, success or failure is on this night, for the sake of North Korea, rescue the princess with this monarch!"

Li Liang took out the sword on his waist, raised it and said loudly to the two hundred or so people standing in the courtyard in the black pressure, this is all his strength after meeting Cui Mingji.

Although more than 200 people were not enough to storm the palace, it was more than enough to take advantage of the fire in Qingyun Palace to take the defenseless Qingyun Palace.

"Swear allegiance to Ayayang-kun and rescue the princess!" Cui Mingji, who was standing in front of the crowd, heard this, so he raised the long sword in his hand and shouted loudly.

"Swear allegiance to Ayayang-kun and rescue the princess!" The people in the courtyard raised their weapons and shouted.

"Out!" Seeing this, Li Liang glanced around at the scene, then pointed at the courtyard door with the sword in his hand, and gave an order in a deep voice.

Although it seems to be calm on the surface, Li Liang is in a very nervous mood now, he never expected that Li Eryu would tell the whistle, so that their coup d'état tonight will be known to the government.

The so-called arrow on the string has to be, things have come to this point Li Liang has no other choice, only to carry out this coup d'état, otherwise he will have no chance in the future.

What made Li Liang feel relieved was that Li Houpei and Li Houyuan brothers were tough enough not to tell the people in the robbery hall about the night's plan, otherwise those people in the cargo hold would be wiped out.

According to the plan, Li Houpei and Li Houyuan's brothers will take people to the warehouse to meet Jin Yuan, Cui Mingji and others, fortunately they are more cautious, only those important people know the meeting point, and everyone else is led by those important members.

Li Liang has secretly made a decision in his heart, if the coup is successful tonight, he must kill the informant Li Erpardon, and reward the Li brothers who are not recruited, the two can be said to have made a great contribution.

At the same time, the West Gate of Seoul.

"My lord, there is a fire in the direction of Qingyun Palace." In a secluded alley one street away from the West Gate, a big man standing on the roof of a building leaned over and said to Jin Yuan, who was standing below.

The courtyard behind Jin Yuan was densely packed with people, and in order to successfully capture the West Gate tonight, they even killed all the dogs near the alley before, so as to avoid revealing their whereabouts.

"Up, take the West Gate!" Hearing this, Jin Yuan took out the knife in his waist and pointed it in the direction of the alley, and said expressionlessly, whether tonight's coup d'état can succeed in this move, if they can't capture the West Gate, including Li Liang, they will all die in the city.

Hearing this, the big men in the alley rushed out of the alley with knives and ran quickly in the direction of the west gate.

At the west gate, three or four hundred soldiers transferred from the palace hall were gathered in groups of three or five to chat, and many of them yawned for a long time, not knowing why they were called out of the bed to the city gate to be on duty.

Coupled with the original more than 200 defenders of the West Gate, the strength of the West Gate has reached five or six hundred, not only the West Gate, but also the four gates of Seoul have so many troops, which is enough to deal with the attack of the city.

Moreover, once the battle breaks out at the West Gate, the other troops in the city will immediately rush to the rescue, which is also the reason why Li Hui, Zheng Renhong and others feel relieved.

"Who?" With the sound of dull footsteps on the street, the soldiers under the city gate subconsciously turned their heads to look over, only to see a group of black shadows rushing over the street, and the weapons in their hands under the moonlight were glowing with a hint of coldness.

"Enemy attack!" Soon, an officer guarding the Imperial Hall reacted, drew the knife on his waist and shouted, "Fight!" ”

With a bang, the soldiers under the city gate suddenly became chaotic and lined up in a panic to meet the enemy.

"Brothers, rush over and open the city gates, tonight's success or failure is here!" In the crowd rushing towards the city gate, a big man who ran in front raised the knife in his hand and shouted.

"Kill!" The people around the Han shouted and rushed towards the soldiers under the city, and the two sides soon met in a melee that led to a scuffle.

In the face of the sudden attackers, the soldiers under the city gate were caught off guard for a while and retreated one after another.

"Don't retreat, kill the traitor, Your Highness will be rewarded, otherwise there will be no forgiveness for killing." Seeing this, a general who came out of the gate tower shouted at the retreating soldiers under the city.

"Quick, shoot them!" Then, the general shouted orders to the archers on the city gate.

Originally, those archers stayed in the barracks of the city gate tower, and they also came out to check after hearing the movement, and when they heard the order, they shot arrows at the rebels downstairs, causing many of the rebels to fall in a pool of blood screaming.

The officers and troops under the city gate were able to stabilize their formation, so that the rebels they saw could not move forward, and the two sides fell into a stalemate.

As the officers and Jin Yuan's men were fighting together, and the archers on both sides were mixed together, the archers upstairs stopped shooting arrows so as not to hurt their own people, and carried bows on the city gate tower to stand guard.

"Hmph, it's not enough!" The general guarding the palace on the tower of the city gate soon realized that the number of this group of rebels was small, only more than two hundred people, so a sneer flashed at the corner of his mouth, with such a small number of troops, he couldn't take the city gate at all.

"Kill!" Suddenly, an earth-shattering cry came from outside the city gates.

The general was taken aback, and hurriedly went to the front to check, only to see a large group of people rushing to the city gate in the night, apparently being the traitor's comrades.

"Brothers, our reinforcements will arrive soon, and we will be the heroes to guard the city gates, and His Highness will not treat us badly at that time."

After his face changed, the general shouted to the soldiers around him, "Archer, release the arrows, don't stop without my order!" ”

The people who attacked the city gate were Li Gui and Li Shu's soldiers and horses, and the two sides had already joined forces with more than 1,000 people, and it was Li Shi, the envoy of the Hamgyong Province, who commanded the army.

Li Shi was invited by an old friend to a brothel in the town outside the city yesterday to drink and have fun, but just half of the wine was drunk, two unlucky guests - Li Gui and Li Shu broke in, and asked him to be the commander of the rebel army against Li Hui, and his old friend also persuaded him to join them.

After learning that the mastermind behind the coup was Li Liang, and the people who trained the capital eunuch were also involved, Li Shi agreed after careful consideration, he also wanted to fight, once Li Liang became the queen of Joseon, he would soar.

In this way, Li Shi became the commander of the rebel army outside the city, and Li Gui and Li Shu gave orders in his name.

To put it bluntly, Li Shi is just a puppet, but Li Shi doesn't care about this, what he wants is a name, and outsiders will not know that he is the commander who is set aside by Li Gui and Li Shu, and Li Gui and Li Shu also respect him a lot.

On a hill outside the city, a burly middle-aged man frowned and watched the soldiers of the righteous army attacking the city, because they acted in a hurry, they did not have any decent siege equipment, after all, Li Gui and Li Shu's official positions were low, they could not be accessed, and there was no need to have siege equipment.

Therefore, the equipment of the rebels to attack the city was the ladder tied by themselves and the crashing wood made by themselves, desperately hitting the city gate with the door, trying to knock the gate open, because the defenders on the city wall were tightly defended, so many people fell from the ladder one after another.

This burly young man is Li Shi, Li Gui stands on his left, and the middle-aged man on his right is Li Shu, and the expressions of the three of them all look extremely serious.

Li Shi and the others were outside the city, so they didn't know what happened in the city, originally the fire in Qingyun Palace should have been ignited after a while, but now that it was ignited, they didn't know if it was an accident or something.

"It seems that there are more defenders at the city gates than usual!" After a while, Li Shi took the lead in breaking the calm on the field, looking at the soldiers defending on the city wall and said.

It stands to reason that after Jin Yuan and others attacked the city gate, the number of defenders on the city wall should be reduced, but judging from the current situation, the number of troops is not only not less, but it seems that there are a lot more.

"Is there a change in the city?" Li Gui's heart couldn't help but sink when he heard this, and a worried look appeared on his face, if something happened to Li Qi in the city, then everything would be over.

"Even though there have been changes, the situation should not be serious." At this time, Li Shu pondered for a while and said, if there is really any big change in the city, it is impossible for anyone to attack the city gate.

"Anyway, there is no turning back from the bow, we must attack the city now, otherwise everything is over." Li Shi looked coldly at the battle in front of the city gate, they now have no other way to retreat, only to attack the palace and seize Li Hui have a chance to live.

Li Shi's words made the atmosphere at the scene dull and depressing, everyone knew that rebellion was a big crime, and no one wanted their families to be implicated.

Town.

"My lord, there are too many officers and soldiers, we can't stand it anymore, it's better for your lordship to evacuate first."

A big man with several scars on his body came to Jin Yuan, who was watching the battle from a distance, covered in blood, and said with an anxious expression, "My lord, stay in the green mountains without worrying about running out of firewood." ”

"If we lose this battle, we won't even have Qingshan, and we will fall into a catastrophe!" Jin Yuan knew that the big man had good intentions, and when he heard this, he smiled bitterly, and after pulling out his waist knife, he said coldly, "If you can't open the city gate today, then this official can only die here to thank Ayayangjun." ”

"Your Excellency!"

A gloomy look suddenly appeared on the big man's face, and he felt a sense of helplessness in his heart, not only were they inferior in numbers, but they were also inferior in combat to those soldiers, after all, those soldiers were trained and had more military experience than those of them who had been gathered temporarily.
