In the camp of the women's army in the east of the city, three generals with helmets and armor sat cross-legged, but the atmosphere here seemed a little tense, a bearded general sat alone on the side, staring at the two generals opposite, one of the two generals was a Hu man, and the other was a tall and thin man, looking extremely shrewd and capable. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Lao He, Lao Qiu, what do you two mean, why did you order the whole army to stand by?" I saw that the bearded general questioned with an annoyed face, he was Xiang Shanzhi, one of the main generals of the Women's Army, and the two opposite were He Panren and Qiu Shili.

"Lao Xiang, don't be angry first, the entire military camp is 7,500 people, and the three of us are in charge, and the matter of ordering the whole army to stand by is also discussed between me and Lao He, as for not discussing it with you, the main reason is that I am afraid that you will make a noise and reveal the news!" I saw the tall and thin Chushili on the opposite side explain.

"What do you mean, this order was given, and how much did you hide from me?" Xiang Shanzhi heard Qiu Shili's words, but he took the case and asked loudly, his temper was the hottest, and he hated others for making small moves behind his back.

"Look, I really have to change my temper with you, no matter how you say it, you have to listen to us finish speaking, okay?" At this time, I saw He Panren looking helpless, paused for a moment and then said, "But since you want to know, then we won't hide it from you, King Qin suddenly sent someone in the early hours of this morning, and he didn't say anything else, just said that no matter what happens, as long as we don't move, then our credit will be indispensable in the future, at least it is the county prince, or even the national prince, we are also for everyone's good!" ”

"County magistrate? King Qin is really generous, but I really want to know what he is going to do, is he preparing to rebel? Although Xiang Shanzhi has a bad temper, he is not a stupid person, and he calmed down suddenly when he heard He Panren's words, but his tone of voice was still very impulsive.

"We don't dare to talk nonsense, anyway, King Qin's people didn't say anything, just let us stay still, and we don't have to worry about other things, there will be a reward afterwards, such a good thing always tells you why don't we want it?" He Panren spoke again, although he and Qiu Shili were very close to King Qin, they had not really become Li Shimin's henchmen, and they really didn't know what Li Shimin was going to do, but this did not prevent them from falling to King Qin at such a critical time, and they didn't need to do anything anyway.

"Still? Hehe, do you really dare to say, what if the princess ordered us to go and put down the rebellion? Xiang Shanzhi sneered when he heard this, he was almost sure that Li Shimin was definitely preparing to rebel, and when he said these words, his right hand had quietly held his waist knife, as long as He Panren and the two dared to say words about betraying the princess, he would definitely make the two of them bloody!

"Princess......" He Panren and Qiu Shili also showed hesitant expressions on their faces when they heard this, and after a while, they saw Qiu Shili speak, "Old Xiang, I know what you are thinking, but King Qin launched this time very suddenly, and no one knew about it in advance, so I guess he should be able to control the situation in a very short time, and when the princess gets the news, I am afraid that he will only be powerless to return to the sky, so we don't have to worry about the princess ......"

But just as Qiu Shili was just saying this, he suddenly heard a commotion outside, and then someone rushed over and reported loudly: "Qiqi three generals, the princess has arrived!" ”

"Wow~" Hearing the soldier's report, Qiu Shili and the three of them all stood up in shock, and then saw Xiang Shanzhi laugh and laugh, "It seems that Lao Qiu, you guessed wrong this time, now that the princess has arrived, how do you choose?" ”

Speaking of the end, Xiang Shanzhi "choked" and pulled out his waist knife, a pair of tiger eyes also stared at Qiu Shili and the two of them viciously, if they really forgot their righteousness, then don't blame him for being polite, although he has no confidence in one against two, but don't forget that there are more than 7,000 people in the entire military camp, and most of them are old people in the women's army, and they are all loyal to Princess Pingyang.

"Lao Xiang, don't always think that we want to betray the princess, although we do have selfish intentions, but that is also on the premise that it does not conflict with the princess's orders, now that the princess is here, we naturally obey the princess's orders!" He Panren took the lead in speaking at this time, and after speaking, he glanced at Qiu Shili, although both of them had some regrets, but their loyalty to Princess Pingyang had never changed.

"It's best for you to think like this, come with me to the princess!" Xiang Shanzhi carefully observed the faces of He Panren and the others, and after confirming that they had no dissent, he opened his mouth to urge.

When the three of them left the room, they immediately saw Princess Pingyang riding a horse, which made the three of them salute in unison: "The last general will see the princess!" ”

"No need to be polite, gather the army and go with me!" Princess Pingyang ordered with a grim face.

"Whoa!" Xiang Shanzhi and the three of them responded in unison again, and at this time, a low drum sound sounded on the school field of the military camp, and the drum beat had a strange rhythm, which seemed to make people's blood boil all over the body.

Li Xiu also came to the school with Princess Pingyang, this kind of drum sound is no stranger to him, when he was in Gyeongju War Turkic, this strange drum often sounded in the women's army, and later he heard Ma Ye say, this is the unique war drum sound of the women's army, used to call the soldiers in the army to fight, generally on the battlefield as long as this kind of drum sounds, so the soldiers of the women's army will unconditionally assemble to the drums, and no one can stop their footsteps!

Xiang Shanzhi and the three of them also immediately returned to the team, with the order of Princess Pingyang, more than 7,000 people lined up in a long snake formation and marched towards Chang'an City, Li Xiu silently followed Princess Pingyang, just looking at her frosty face, he was also distressed and helpless, and he didn't know if Ma Ye could save Li Jiancheng's brothers?

At the same time, Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji rode on horses, discussing countermeasures while walking, although Li Jiancheng had a clear conscience, but the matter of splashing dirty water on the court could not be prevented, even if there was no evidence, someone could conjure up evidence, especially Pei Ju This time he actually framed him for having an affair with the concubines in the palace, this kind of thing is not handled well, and it will not be easy for Li Jiancheng to wash the dirty water on his body in the future.

Li Jiancheng and the two brothers walked and talked, and soon a tall city wall appeared in front of them, and in the middle of the city wall, there is a tall city gate tower, this city gate is the north gate of Taiji Palace, Xuanwu Gate, the city gate guard is named Chang He, who once followed Li Jiancheng to conquer Liu Heimin, and is one of the relatively rare henchmen in Li Jiancheng's hands.

Outside the Xuanwu Gate, the wild grass on the side of the road was blown by the cold wind, shaking weakly in the thin grass stalks, and the cold weather also made most of the animals disappear, only a few sparrows jumped a few times in the grass on the side of the road, looking for rare food in winter, and when Li Jiancheng's army approached, these sparrows were also frightened and scattered.

When Li Jiancheng and their team approached the Xuanwu Gate, there was already a general standing there at the gate of the city, and when he saw them, he immediately walked a few steps forward to greet them: "The last general, Chang He, greets the crown prince and His Royal Highness the King of Qi!" ”

"General Chang doesn't have to be polite, is there anything unusual near the city gate today?" Li Jiancheng saw that Chang He also owed a debt immediately, and saw that Chang He was about thirty years old, with a rectangular face, broom eyebrows, slender eyes, and a short beard under his chin, looking extremely shrewd and capable, in fact, he was indeed a general, otherwise he would not have been so valued by Li Jiancheng.

"Prince Qiyu, everything is normal near the city gate, and there is nothing abnormal!" Chang He replied in a calm voice, but when he spoke, he lowered his head, so that people couldn't see the look on his face clearly.

"Very good, General Chang has worked hard!" Li Jiancheng smiled again at the moment, and praised Chang He by the way, and then he and Li Yuanji entered the city gate, and Chang He personally sent them into the palace gate very respectfully, and there was indeed nothing abnormal during the period.

However, not long after entering the Xuanwu Gate, Li Yuanji suddenly felt that something was wrong, and even sat on the horse and looked around, his expression became more and more uneasy, and finally even Li Jiancheng discovered his abnormality, and asked with a smile: "Fourth brother, what's wrong with you?" ”

"Big brother, don't you think it's strange?" Li Yuanji was still looking around uneasily at this time, and even stopped his horse at this time, with a vigilant look on his face.

"What's weird?" Li Jiancheng followed Li Yuanji's gaze and looked around, but he didn't feel anything abnormal.

"After the Xuanwu Gate, it is the palace, and there are some palaces around, and you can usually see some palace people or chamberlains, but you see that there is not even a person around, and it is extraordinarily quiet!" Li Yuanji was very vigilant at this time, as a military general, he had an extremely keen observation of the environment.

"This ......" After Li Yuanji's reminder, Li Jiancheng immediately felt that something was wrong, not only was there no one around, but it was also extremely quiet, there would be at least sparrows foraging outside the city, but there was not even a bird in the palace.

"Big brother, the situation is not right, let's hurry up and leave the palace before making plans!" Li Yuanji shouted in a low voice again at this time, the general's intuition made him feel a strong sense of crisis, and he couldn't wait to escape immediately, this was a feeling he had never felt before.

"Good! Protect me and King Qi, and exit the palace immediately! Li Jiancheng also immediately commanded at this time, and at this time he also felt a strong sense of crisis, and even the cold sweat on his forehead came down.

"Big brother and fourth brother, since you're here, why are you in a hurry to leave?" However, as soon as the Li Jiancheng brothers turned around and wanted to leave, they suddenly heard a gloomy and familiar voice behind them. (To be continued.) )
