It was already late at night, and the lights were extinguished in the Yanwang Mansion, and there was silence. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info but in fact, there is a tense atmosphere in the entire Yanwang Mansion.

Li Hongji has already received the news of Chen Keyan, his father is about to act, and because of Liu Renzhan's secret report, his father has been wary of Yang Lian, at present, although his father has not ordered Yang Lian to be summoned, but Li Hongji already knows that early tomorrow morning, Yang Lian and Li Jingsui will be summoned into the palace.

Therefore, tomorrow is the best opportunity, since the news will be passed on to Yang Lian and Li Jingsui tomorrow, so the two of them should not have much preparation, on the contrary, Li Hongji has already gotten the news and prepared in advance.

The big war was imminent, Li Hongji was a little nervous, and after he drank a few glasses of wine, he stabilized his mind.

In the secret room of the Yanwang Mansion, Li Hongji and Guo Rong, Yelu Xiyin, Zhu Lingyun, Chen Dongshen, Zhou Hongzuo, Zhou Ye and other reliable henchmen were discussing things and finalizing the final plan. The plan did not change much, but on Yang Lian's side, due to insufficient preparation, in order to increase the possibility of victory, Li Hongji ordered Zhou Ye to assist Guo Rong, Yelu Xiyin and others to ambush Yang Lian halfway.

Zhou Hongzuo will go to the imperial city to take over the defense early tomorrow morning, so Li Hongji can enter the imperial city smoothly through him, many generals in the imperial city have already defected to Li Hongji, they will join Li Hongji in the imperial city, rush to the palace, control Li Jing's actions, nominally on the side of the Qing monarch, in fact, to control the entire palace city, under house arrest Li Jing. Li Hongji knew that things had come to this point, the Qing monarch was just a name, in fact, his goal was to learn from Li Shimin, first become the prince of the Tang Dynasty, and then let his father abdicate and become the emperor, and he inherited the throne, only in this way can he control Jinling and control the Tang Dynasty.

After talking about the matter for nearly an hour, and after perfecting the final plan, Guo Rong and Yelu Xiyin stood up, said goodbye and left, arranged the killer, and killed Yang Lian.

Li Hongji didn't dare to rest, he asked people to make some refreshing decoction, and after drinking a few cups, his mood finally stabilized. At this moment, he remembered a lot of things, no matter what, things have come to this point, the arrow is on the bow, and he has to send it, and he can't regret it.

Li Hongji clenched his fists, and after seizing the throne, it was a big deal to treat his father and mother well.

The sky is getting darker and darker, the sky of this night, the moon is mostly hidden in the clouds, but the stars are exceptionally bright, Li Hongji stood under the eaves, raised his head, looked at the stars in the sky, his eyes flickered, things came to this point, I really didn't expect it, tomorrow is the time to decide his fate, he must succeed, failure is a dead end.

At this time, the evening breeze was already a little cool, Li Hongji couldn't help but tuck his collar, pursed his lips, and his eyes were full of determination.

In the middle of the day, it was the darkest hour before dawn, and the moon showed half of its head from time to time, and the cold light sprinkled on the earth, perhaps because he had a premonition, he hid his head in the deep clouds, not wanting to see the tragedy of the world repeated.

After Li Hongji rested for a while, his physical strength was restored, he asked the soldiers to put on armor for him, and his henchmen Chen Dongshen and Zhu Lingyun were also wearing armor, especially Zhu Lingyun's eyes, revealing a heavy murderous aura, and he secretly swore in his heart that he must kill Yang Lian.

But it's a pity that His Royal Highness King Yan handed everyone over to Zhou Ye, among the many generals under Li Hongji's account, Zhou Ye was the most courageous, he had fought and killed the tiger back then, and now although he is older, he is more experienced, with him, Yang Lian has a great chance of being killed.

"King Yan, it's time to enter the palace." Chen Dongshen reminded on the side, he was a little excited, after all, in his opinion, today's actions are foolproof, once King Yan becomes the Son of Heaven, they are all ministers of Yuancong, and the credit is not small.

Li Hongji glanced at the sky nostalgically, in four or five hours at most, the fate of many people in Jinling City will change, whether they will become the master of the Tang Dynasty or be killed, all in one fell swoop.

"Let's go!" Li Hongji said very simply, under the leadership of Zhu Lingyun, he walked quickly towards the outside of the house, along the way, he couldn't help but clench the handle of the knife, and his heart was pounding.

When they walked out of the Yanwang Mansion, the sky was still dark, and more than a hundred armor soldiers were fully armed and hid in the dark, and when they heard Li Hongji's shouts, they all walked out one after another.

"Let's go!" Li Hongji said that there were still soldiers patrolling during this time period, but after this period of exploration, Li Hongji already knew the route and specific time point of the soldier's patrol, so Li Hongji divided the soldiers into several sections along the way and carefully bypassed the patrolling soldiers. Things went exceptionally smoothly, and by the end of the day, a few people had already risen up in the streets, some of them were ready to set up stalls to cook food for the early risers, and some were going out of the city, and the autumn harvest was imminent, and food was very important.

Li Hongji's plan was to enter the imperial city from the side gate, and the palace city of Jinling had only three gates, east, south, and west, and there was no north gate. The south gate is the main road, there are enough troops there, and it is a little difficult to enter, Li Hongji's plan is to enter from the east gate, where it is close to the Qinhuai River, it is more convenient to enter and exit. Zhou Hongzuo has already arranged a raft at the Water Gate, as long as he enters.

Just when Li Hongji was heading towards the imperial city, Li Jing also got up early, he slept very restlessly this night, and always felt that something was going to happen, but he couldn't say why, he couldn't sleep, Li Jing could only sit up, and told Gao Ze to bring warm water over, and after washing, Li Jing asked the time.

"Your Majesty, it's already early days." Gao Ze replied.

"It's time." Li Jing stood with his hands in his hands and slowly walked out of the room, although the sky was still relatively dark, but it was faintly in the east, and it was already bright.

"Someone, send an order down, summon the King of Qi and the Marquis of Wu into the palace, and say that I have received news that the Northern Zhou State has a tendency to go south, and I will ask them for advice. By the way, there is also King Yan, King Yan's side, just say that I miss him, let him enter the palace quickly. Li Jing said, this matter is easy to do when everyone is together.

"Oh, Your Majesty, the old slave will go to the mansion of King Qi and Marquis Wu immediately." Gao Ze said, and was about to retreat, but Li Jing stopped him again.

"Gao Ze, leave this matter to your subordinates, you go and call Chen Keyan, I have something to say to him." Li Jing commanded.

"Whoa!" Gao Ze retreated.

Li Jing paced under the eaves and thought about the possible situation, but he believed that Yang Lian would only enter the palace alone if he was defenseless, and if he really had an attempt, Li Jing could only bear to kill him.

After a while, Chen Keyan came to Li Jing's bedroom, he clasped his fists and saluted, and said, "Weichen Chen Keyan has seen Your Majesty. ”

"General Chen, are you all ready?" Li Jing asked.

"Your Majesty, Weichen is ready, thirty armor soldiers are fully armed and ready to stand by at any time." Chen Keyan said.

"Okay, let them ambush in the study at once." Li Jing said.

"Whoa!" Chen Keyan agreed and retreated.

Li Jing sighed, ate breakfast, and then walked slowly towards the imperial study, in the imperial study, thirty armor soldiers were already guarding the door, Li Jing looked at the armor soldiers, nodded and signaled, let them in. Some of these armorers are sword and axe hands, some are crossbow hands, and some are shields, each with its own role. In this way, Li Jing does not have to worry about his safety.

Chen Keyan was busy, placed the thirty armor soldiers in the imperial study one by one, and placed a few cloth bags in front of Li Jing's desk on the ground, which were filled with round soybeans, once the situation changed, Li Jing could sprinkle the soybeans on the ground to delay the enemy's attack.

"Your Majesty, it has been settled." Chen Keyan said.

Li Jing made an inspection, laughed, and said, "Chen Aiqing, I really didn't misunderstand you. ”

"Your Majesty, this is what Weichen should do." Chen Keyan arched his hand and said.

Li Jing laughed, stroked his beard, and said, "Today, it seems that Chen Aiqing really has the talent of a general, and after this matter is over, it seems that I can't keep you in the Praetorian Guard." ”

"Your Majesty, what does this mean? Weichen is willing to serve His Majesty, even if it is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire. When Chen Keyan heard this, his face changed, and he wanted to kneel, but the armor on his body restricted his movements.

Li Jing laughed twice, stepped forward, patted Chen Keyan's shoulder, and said, "Chen Aiqing doesn't need to be like this, what I mean is that I will release you as a festival envoy to expand the territory for me and make immortal contributions." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness!" Chen Keyan also laughed and said loudly.

Li Jing nodded, and after discussing the details with Chen Keyan, Chen Keyan stepped back and waited for Yang Lian's arrival.

"General Zhou, someone has come to the imperial city." Guo Rong, who was hiding near the Yang Mansion, heard the sound of horses' hooves and said.

On his side, Zhou Ye was dressed in armor, with a long knife at his waist and a pot of arrows on his back.

Everyone hid in a private house, which was bought by King Yan in the name of others, in order to spy on the mansion of the Yang Mansion, and now it seems that the effect is very great.

Zhou Ye nodded, among all the people, his archery skills are the best, so the task of shooting Yang Lian will be completed by him first, if the archery fails, and then handed over to Guo Rong, Guo Rong's generals Zhao Kuangyin and Shi Shouxin both have the courage of ten thousand people, and the two of them are hidden in the shadows, waiting for Yang Lian to come out.

"In this way, Yang Lian will come out soon, pass the order, everyone will be in good spirits, if anyone lets Yang Lian go, military law will be engaged." Zhou Ye said.

Guo Rong laughed and said: "I have long heard that General Zhou's martial arts are good, and his archery skills are even more accurate, I didn't expect to see it today, it is really Guo's honor." ”

Zhou Ye sighed, but did not speak, but took the bow and arrow from the north, and stroked it gently, as if he was missing something.

"This bow and arrow was passed down to me by my master back then, and now he has already passed away, which is really embarrassing." Zhou Ye said.

"Master? Could it be Ling Zun? Guo Rong asked, before the war, this was perhaps the most leisurely moment.

Zhou Ye shook his head and said, "No, although my father is brave, he is not good at archery. This bow and arrow belonged to General Mi, the best archer of the year. ”

Guo Rong was stunned for a moment, he thought for a while, and then remembered that during the Yang Wu court, there seemed to be a general named Mi Zhicheng, who had accurate archery skills, but unfortunately died early.

After Zhou Ye sighed for a moment, someone pointed ahead and said, "General Zhou, the lights of Yang's Mansion are on." ”

Zhou Ye and Guo Rong walked over quickly, only to see that the lights in the Yang Mansion were getting brighter and brighter, and obviously many people were up.

"The people from the palace have entered the Yang Mansion, and Yang Lian must have gotten up." Zhou Ye was overjoyed.

A glimmer of light flashed in Guo Rong's eyes, but he quickly concealed it, he smiled and said, "This room is only more than fifty steps away from the street, and at such a close distance, it is not a problem to shoot Yang Lian." ”

Zhou Ye flicked the string of the slingshot and said: "I hope so, Yang Lian is the great thief of the country, and I suspect that he is the old prince of the previous dynasty." ”

Guo Rong naturally knew about this rumor, but there was no evidence, and he didn't know it very well, so he said: "General Zhou, since this person may be the old prince of the previous dynasty, then it is better to kill the wrong person than to let it go." ”

Zhou Ye said: "Even if he is not, for the sake of King Yan, Yang Lian must die." ”

Guo Rong slowly thought in his heart, once Zhou Ye killed Yang Lian, should he take the opportunity to escape, or should he make another plan? Just killing one Yang Lian doesn't seem to be enough to make Jinling City chaotic, but his biggest task is to escape from Jinling City, and these two choices are really a little tangled.

The two fell into a short silence, their eyes were firmly fixed on the Yang Mansion, from here, they could see the gate of the Yang Mansion, Yang Lian wanted to go to the palace city, only the gate was the fastest, the side gate had to bypass a street, although the road was not far, but it was more troublesome, after this period of observation, they all knew that Yang Lian would definitely take this road when he went to the imperial city.

Time seems to have frozen, and the two of them are waiting, feeling that time is so slow, so slow!

On the periphery of this house, on a wide avenue, Zhao Kuangyin was dressed up as a small vendor selling noodles in the city, who was busy, selling and observing the situation on the street. Zhou Ye flicked the string of the slingshot and said: "I hope so, Yang Lian is the great thief of the country, and I suspect that he is the old prince of the previous dynasty." ”

Guo Rong naturally knew about this rumor, but there was no evidence, and he didn't know it very well, so he said: "General Zhou, since this person may be the old prince of the previous dynasty, then it is better to kill the wrong person than to let it go." ”
