"With such a small number of troops, it is not easy to control the Imperial City. "www.biquge.info In the secret room, Li Hongji knocked on the map on the desk, after these days of preparation, the matter was basically finalized, and those generals who were coerced and lured by him also chose to obey.

Now the biggest question is how to enter the Imperial City? Due to the limited number of troops, if he attacked the imperial city, he would not have the extra troops to deal with Yang Lian. With Yang Lian's personality, he will definitely not be restrained. Yang Lian's army has a lot of connections, and once he learns that there is a change in the capital, he will contact relatives and friends in the army to counterattack the imperial city.

Li Hongji's concerns Guo Rong understood, for this reason, he thought of several plans, but for various reasons were denied, in fact, the biggest problem is the lack of troops, although a group of generals were temporarily controlled, and they were firmly controlled together by the blood book, but the cohesion of the temporarily formed team was too poor.

Li Hongji doesn't have enough time to integrate, so he can only do everything in the shortest possible time, but how easy is it to say?!

Only by taking the imperial city as soon as possible and killing Yang Lian and Li Jingsui can he firmly control the entire situation, these two things are indispensable, if one is not completed in time, it will fall short.

Guo Rong pondered on the side, the candle was burning, the candle tears were dripping, the light was shaking, reflecting on Guo Rong's face, which was obviously divided into two halves, which looked quite weird. Guo Rong also has his purpose, just as he interviewed Yelu Xiyin, he wants to escape from Jinling, turn back to Kaifeng, and cultivate his power, after all, he is just an adopted son, if he can't make arrangements early, can the throne of the Great Zhou come to his hands?

Guo Rong was silent for a while before he began to speak.

According to Guo Rong's plan, some of the generals in charge of the Praetorian Guard waited for the opportunity to welcome King Yan into the city to control the situation, and as for Yang Lian's side, Guo Rong said that he would hand it over to him.

Li Hongji knew that Guo Rong hated Yang Lian very much, and Li Hongji didn't know the reason, but it was true that the two didn't deal with each other. Looking at Guo Rong's gritted teeth, Li Hongji believed that he would definitely intercept Yang Lian.

The key at this moment is how to enter the Imperial City smoothly. If King Yan wants to enter the Imperial City, he will definitely bring his henchmen, otherwise how can he control the Imperial City? Li Hongji thought about it for a while, but he never made a decision, he didn't watch Yang Lian being killed, he was not at ease. But on the side of the Imperial City, it is equally important, and it is no less than killing Yang Lian.

The two chatted for a while, and finally just made a preliminary plan, and the specific time will have to wait. It is best to wait until the generals who have surrendered to the city guard the city gates, so that it will be much easier to enter the imperial city.

Li Hongji understands that there is only one opportunity for him, and if he misses it, he will never have it again, so this opportunity is the only one, and he must firmly grasp it, otherwise he will regret it for life.

When Yang Lian walked out of the study, the stars in the sky were bright, Yang Lian was pacing in the courtyard and thinking, Xiao Yan's arrival was somewhat unexpected by Yang Lian, if he could really get the evidence, Yang Lian could launch a wave of offensive, this wave of offensive was an excellent opportunity for Li Hongji, but for Yang Lian, it was a better opportunity, it depends on who can grasp it.

Yang Lian paced and pondered for a while, suddenly, he heard a slight sound in his ears, Yang Lian's ears were erected, it was on the roof of the building, he swept it with his spare eyes, and saw a person upstairs under the eaves, this person was dressed in black, very hidden, but with Yang Lian's eyesight, he still saw it.

Is this guy over there? Is it Li Hongji's or His Majesty's? After Yang Lian chatted with King Qi, it was almost certain that Li Jing also knew about King Yan, but after all, he was his son, so he couldn't bear it, or rather, Li Jing didn't have enough evidence, so he was still waiting.

Yang Lian didn't catch the spies, he was still in the yard, feeling the cool breeze, at this time, footsteps sounded in the yard, Yang Lian looked back, it turned out to be Zeng Yiling.

Yang Lian winked at her, Zeng Yiling was so smart, and immediately understood what Yang Lian meant, Yang Mansion is a dignified Hou Ye Mansion, and there are actually people watching him, this person is not small. Zeng Yiling walked up to Yang Lian and deliberately lowered his voice.

On the roof, the black shadow moved slightly, pricked up his ears, and wanted to hear clearly what the two were saying, but Zeng Yiling's voice was too small, he couldn't hear it clearly, and when the black shadow was about to move, suddenly, a figure appeared in front of him.

The shadow was taken aback and was about to stand up, when someone reached out and slapped him on the back of the head, causing him to fall unconscious.

"Are you sure he's from the Xu family?" Yang Lian looked at the person lying in the study and asked very seriously.

"Sure." Zeng Yiling nodded, in front of her, the mask on the face of the man in black had been removed, revealing a somewhat pale face.

"Is he?" Yang Lian asked again.

"I don't know which uncle's child it is, but what is certain is that he is the Xu family." Zeng Yiling said, took a piece of jade pendant from the neck of the black shadow, and put it in front of his eyes to look at it carefully. On the jade pendant, there is a small "Xu" engraved on it, and this time, his identity is almost certain.

"If he is really from the Xu family, what is his intention when he appears here?" Yang Lian asked.

"It's not clear yet, but it's easy." Zeng Yiling said, picked up a cup of cold tea from the desk next to him, and poured it on the face of the man in black.

The man in black was suddenly splashed awake, he shook his head, shook off the tea on his face, opened his eyes, looked at the two people in front of him, and said in a lost voice: "Who are you?" ”

"Who?" Yang Lian approached him, laughed, and said, "You appeared in my mansion and asked me who I was?" ”

"You, you are Wu Hou?" The man in black said.

Yang Lian snorted coldly, even if this person was the Xu family, he was once his enemy.

The man in black looked at Zeng Yiling again, and suddenly, his body shook, and he looked at Zeng Yiling very incredulously, and said, "You, you!" ”

"Your surname is Xu?" Zeng Yiling asked lightly.

The man in black nodded, couldn't help but blurt out, "You, how do you know?" ”

"Are you Xu Wei?" Zeng Yiling tried hard to recall that she was still young and couldn't remember many things, even if it was her relatives.

"You, you are Xu Man?" Xu Wei looked at Zeng Yiling carefully, and couldn't help but speak, as far as he knew, most of the Xu family members in his vein were killed, only him and a little sister. But for so many years, he has been in the imperial city, almost like a captivity, except for the Son of Heaven and the little eunuch who brought him food, he has hardly seen anyone else.

Now, Xu Man appeared in front of his eyes, how could he not be surprised?

"I'm Xu Man, but now I'm called Zeng Yiling." Zeng Yiling said.

Xu Wei was stunned for a moment and said, "Why did you change your name?" ”

"If I don't change my name, can I survive in that situation?" Zeng Yiling asked.

Xu Wei was silent for a while, if it weren't for Li Jing, who was the crown prince at the time, secretly sheltering him, his life would not have been saved. However, Li Jing saved his life, but he couldn't save the life of the entire Xu family. In that political fight, there may be no one who is right and wrong, but as a loser, what is it like to watch the whole family being killed one by one?

"Where have you lived all these years?" Xu Wei asked.

"It's in Jinling. Brother Xu, where have you been all these years? Zeng Yiling will not relax his vigilance because this person is related to him, on the contrary, Xu Wei's sudden appearance here must have his purpose.

Xu Wei nodded first, admiring Xu Man's boldness in his heart, but at the same time, a question arose in his heart, the little sister is actually with Wu Hou, what is their relationship?

"Xu Man, is he?" Xu Wei asked.

Yang Lian glanced at Zeng Yiling, smiled, and said, "I am Wuhou Yang Lian, and Miss Zeng is my unmarried wife." ”

Zeng Yiling pursed her lips and did not refute.

Xu Wei's face was cloudy, he couldn't figure it out, this Wu Hou looked very young, such a person is not surnamed Li, there must be something special about him. But what is the purpose of the Son of Heaven for him to come to investigate?

Yang Lian suddenly opened his mouth and said, "Xu Wei, Your Majesty ordered you to come, what have you found?" ”

"Nothing was found." Xu Wei shook his head, and suddenly, he realized that these words had revealed more information, and hurriedly changed his words: "What Your Majesty?" I don't know him. ”

Yang Lian laughed and said, "Miss Zeng, it's up to you." ”

Zeng Yiling nodded, in front of relatives and major events, she knew how to choose.

"Brother Xu, after so many years, you are also old. Back then, the Xu family was brutally killed, although time has passed, but every time I think about it, I am still very sad. It's a pity that I am a daughter after all, and I can't avenge my father. Zeng Yiling said, between the words, there is resentment and regret. Back then, if it weren't for the Yang family and the Xu family taking Li Yu in succession, he would have starved to death on the streets. But the things he did then were too cruel and made Zeng Yiling feel cold.

"It's a pity that Li Yu is dead." Xu Wei said.

"Yes, he's dead, but he has descendants. The father's debts are repaid, and the Xu family has more than 30 families, don't you want to pay him back for this account? Zeng Yiling stared at Xu Wei and asked.

Xu Wei pursed his lips and said, "However, he is my savior after all." The person in Xu Wei's mouth is naturally Li Jing today.

Zeng Yiling understood what Xu Wei was talking about, so she sneered and said, "Yes, yes, he is your savior, but for the Xu family, he is an enemy who has a common hatred." He saved one of you, but have you forgotten all the nurturing grace of your parents? Can the grace of saving lives be greater than family affection? More than nurturing? ”

Zeng Yiling said hoarsely, and his voice changed a little, which meant that he hated iron and steel.

Xu Wei opened his mouth wide, he didn't know what to say, indeed, Xu Man's words were very reasonable, the grace of birth and nourishment was greater than everything, Xu Wei had forgotten everything, because he thought that Xu's branch had been killed, and he was immediately disheartened, and Li Yu was dead, what else could he do?

However, at this time, Xu Man's words were like a hammer, hitting his heart hard. The revenge of his parents must be avenged, but if he wants to attack Li Jing and his benefactor, Xu Wei is a little embarrassed. Xu Wei didn't speak for a while.

Yang Lian was on the side, looking at the two of them coldly, he didn't interject, he was waiting.

Zeng Yiling saw that Xu Wei didn't speak, sighed faintly, and said, "Brother Xu, I understand your intentions, but don't you really want to avenge your parents' enmity?" ”

Xu Wei slowly closed his mouth and clenched his fists, this was a difficult choice, what should he do?

Yang Lian opened his mouth lightly and said: "Knowing that there is a revenge of your parents and not taking revenge, you should be a big husband, even if you have a seven-foot body, what good is it?" ”

"No, no!" Xu Wei's deep voice sounded, and suddenly, he covered his face and actually cried.

Yang Lian turned his head, looked at Zeng Yiling and Nunu mouth, the two exchanged a look, Yang Lian said: "But the king wants the minister to die, and the minister has to die." Perhaps, this is the biggest confusion for ministers and children. “

Zeng Yiling understood, took a step forward, helped Xu Wei up, and said, "Brother Xu, my little sister was just testing you just now, don't care." ”

"Test me?" Xu Wei put down his white palm and looked at Zeng Yiling.

"Hey, Brother Xu, after so many years, I'm just a woman, it's a fluke to survive, where is there any extravagant hope? Just now, Brother Xu suddenly appeared, and said that he was rescued by the Son of Heaven, and the little sister was suspicious, so she made a tentative speech. Zeng Yiling explained.

Xu Wei pondered for a while, no matter how wise he was back then, but he was imprisoned for seven or eight years, and he didn't often come into contact with people, and people became relatively simple. He glanced at Zeng Yiling and said, "Really? ”

"Nature is true." Zeng Yiling nodded.

Xu Wei looked at Yang Lian again, Yang Lian laughed, and said, "Brother Xu, in the past few years, I have made great contributions to the birth and death of the Tang Dynasty. These are all things that everyone knows, if Brother Xu doesn't believe it, he can ask the people casually. ”

Xu Wei couldn't help but nod when he saw that Yang Lian was true, and he was already a little convinced in his heart.

Yang Lian said again: "Brother Xu, Your Majesty sent you, is it because you don't trust me?" ”

Xu Wei was silent for a moment, and said: "Wu Hou, it's not what you think, in fact, I followed people all the way, but this person was very cautious, and after entering the mansion, he was lost, and I could only look around." ”

"Why is Brother Xu following him?" Zeng Yiling couldn't help but ask.

"Because he came out of the Yan Palace." Xu Wei said.

"From the Yan Wang's Mansion?" Yang Lian and Zeng Yiling glanced at each other, it seems that Li Hongji still has not relaxed his vigilance against the Yang Mansion, no wonder, now is the most critical moment, Li Hongji must strengthen the surveillance of Yang Lian, Li Hongji wants to launch a mutiny, he must kill Yang Lian.

After Yang Lian and Zeng Yiling glanced at each other, they thought of the same point very tacitly, since Xu Wei was sent by Li Jing to monitor the Yan Wangfu, then, the Son of Heaven already knew about the changes in the Yan Wangfu, otherwise he would not have arranged it like this.

Yang Lian groaned slightly, suddenly laughed, and said, "Brother Xu, have you found anything in the Yanwang Mansion?" ”

Xu Wei shook his head and said, "Although there is an abnormality in the Yan Wangfu at present, there is no real evidence to prove that the Yan King wants to rebel. ”

Yang Lian laughed and said, "Brother Xu, come back in a few days, I will definitely give you a satisfactory answer, but for now, I hope you can tell Your Majesty that you haven't found any clues yet." ”

"You can't tell Your Majesty about today's events." Zeng Yiling added.

Xu Wei stared at his youngest sister and nodded vigorously.
