In the palace, Zhou Ye was pacing, Li Jingsui and Princess Huairou were imprisoned in the house, and there were soldiers outside the house, and they couldn't escape at all. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Zhou Hongzuo frowned and said, "Big brother, don't you have to leave again, I'm upset when I leave." ”

Zhou Ye stopped, raised his head, his eyes were shining, and said, "Zhou Hongzuo, do you remember King Linchuan?" ”

"Big brother, what are you doing with him?" Zhou Hongzuo was a little dissatisfied.

The king of Linchuan is Yang Meng of the previous dynasty, the third son of Yang Xingmi, among Yang Xingmi's many sons, he is ambitious and courageous. After Xu Wen killed Yang Wu, he supported Yang Xingmi's second son Yang Longyan as the emperor, and later Yang Longyan died depressed, originally in order, to establish Yang Meng as the emperor, but Xu Wen thought that this person was not easy to control, so he changed Yang Xingmi's fourth son Yang Pu, that is, Yang Lian's father.

At that time, Yang Meng, the king of Linchuan, knew that Xu Wen was in power and it was irreversible to beat you, so he planned to escape and was ambushed by Zhou Hongzuo. Yang Meng's death made Zhou Ben more and more angry, but he was helpless. When the Yang Wu court perished, Zhou Ben died depressed.

Regarding this past, Zhou Hongzuo has no regrets, man, what can not be done for the sake of power?

However, Zhou Ye has a different opinion, but he hides it very deeply. Seeing Zhou Hongzuo's appearance, Zhou Ye did not speak again.

At this time, the sound of hurried footsteps not far away sounded, and Zhou Ye raised his head to see that Zhu Yuan was wearing armor and escorting a few people over.

Zhu Yuan was originally Li Shouzhen's guest, but later Li Shouzhen's rebellion failed, and in the chaos of the army, Zhu Yuan absconded, and he couldn't stay in Dahan, so he could only flee to Datang. It's just that with his identity, it is impossible to seek high-ranking officials, and the only hope is to take refuge in Li Hongji and make a strong contribution to Li Hongji's rebellion.

In the chaos, Zhu Yuan went to Zhou Zong's mansion and brought Zhou Zong with him. Since the incident of Emperor Zhou E, Zhou Zong has been in the mansion and does not dare to come out easily, so despite the turmoil outside, Zhou Zong did not get any news, knowing that today's incident, Zhu Yuan broke into Situ's mansion with more than 100 people and arrested him.

Although Zhou Zong and Zhou Ye have the same surname, they have no relationship, Zhou Zong is a native of Guangling, but Zhou Ye is a native of Susong, Shuzhou, and is a descendant of Zhou Yu during the Three Kingdoms period.

When Zhou Zong saw Zhou Ye, like a man in the water grasping a life-saving straw, he hurriedly shouted: "General Zhou, General Zhou." ”

Zhou Ye looked at him, guessing in his heart, and without waiting for him to speak, Zhu Yuan walked up quickly.

"General Zhou!" Zhu Yuan knew that Zhou Ye was an old minister and had special respect for him.

"General Zhu, what are you?" Zhou Ye asked puzzled.

Zhu Yuan laughed a few times and said, "General Zhou, this person has deceived His Royal Highness King Yan several times, I am thinking about it, arrest him, and let His Royal Highness King Yan drop it." ”

Zhou Ye's eyes flashed with a gleam, waved his hand, and said, "Go!" ”

Zhu Yuan bowed his hand and walked away quickly with Zhou Zong, Zhou Ye stared at his back, this Jinling City is getting more and more chaotic.

At this time, in Jinling City, the fire was everywhere, and there was chaos, in addition to the family members arranged by Qian Wenfeng, Guo Rong and Yelu Xiyin's subordinates also set fire to the city, in addition, there were hundreds of rangers who took the opportunity to do evil in the city, they robbed the wealth, and many people's daughters were humiliated.

Jinling Chengping for many years, the people have long had no sense of distress, suddenly such a thing happened, most of the houses were damaged, only a small number of powerful officials or wealthy merchants, they have a certain number of family members, even soldiers, this survived.

In the chaos, Zhao Peng and Wang Hu hid in a small alley, which was relatively remote, and not many people usually came. In addition to the two of them in the alley, there are many rangers, one of whom is the "little overlord" Zhou Tong, who was beaten by Yang Lian back then.

Zhou Tong squatted on the ground, looked at Zhao Peng, and said, "Master Zhao, when will you do it?" ”

"Don't worry, this is the dignified Yanwang Mansion, there are many people, but it's not so easy to deal with." Zhao Peng has followed Yang Lian for many years, and has become much calmer, no longer a ranger on the street.

"Hehe, what Zhao Ye said is, what he said." Zhou Tong smiled and said flatteringly: "Brother Zhao, this time the matter is not trivial, I just hope that after the matter is completed, Wu Hou can give me and my brothers a little benefit." ”

"This is natural, the lord never treats people badly, Li Xiongxin is now entrusted with a heavy responsibility, in charge of money and food in the Yang Mansion, as long as you serve the lord wholeheartedly, your benefits are naturally indispensable." Zhao Peng said.

"With Zhao Ye's words, I am relieved." Zhou Tong grinned, but his emotions were a little complicated, he was not as good as him back then, but now he is following Wu Hou to call for wind and rain, and he is still a gangster leader, the gap is not a little bit, if God can give him a chance to come back, he will definitely choose to take refuge in Wu Hou.

It's a pity that God won't give him a chance to start over, but now he can catch Zhao Peng's line, which can be regarded as good luck.

When the two were chatting in a low voice, there was silence in the Yanwang Mansion, and the soldiers were patrolling nervously.

In fact, Li Hongji can almost be regarded as pouring out of the nest, he has not yet married a wife, let alone an heir, so there are not many people worthy of protection in the Yanwang Mansion. However, in the Yanwang Mansion, there are still many family members of the generals of the forbidden army, including wives and children, these are the weights of his holding the generals of the forbidden army hostage, and they must not be lost.

Li Hongji arranged for more than 20 soldiers to guard this group of old and weak women and children, plus the soldiers who guarded other parts of the Yanwang Mansion, there were less than 50 left-behind soldiers in the entire Yanwang Mansion. The huge Yanwang Mansion is very empty.

Several soldiers leaned on the crooked neck tree, chatting nonsense, today's action of King Yan is also very important to them, if they succeed, they can get great benefits, and it is not difficult to be promoted to the knighthood.

"Generals, hard work." At this moment, an extremely gentle voice sounded.

The person who came was Zhang Wan'er, and she walked over slowly with a few maids. Zhang Wan'er was given to him by Guo Rong, Li Hongji originally planned to use her beauty to do things, but the plan couldn't catch up with the changes, and things suddenly made him too late to use Zhang Wan'er, so Zhang Wan'er stayed in Yanwang's mansion.

Due to Zhang Wan'er's special identity, some maids didn't know the truth and thought that King Yan planned to take her as a concubine, so they were very respectful to Zhang Wan'er, and some soldiers in King Yan's Mansion thought the same. Therefore, several soldiers saw Zhang Wan'er coming over and hurriedly walked up.

"Mistress." A soldier complimented.

Zhang Wan'er smiled and said, "It's really hard for the generals to guard the important criminals, and the weather is very hot, so I asked the girls to cook some mung bean soup to quench the thirst of the generals." ”

"Thank you, Mistress." Several soldiers surrounded them, and after standing for so long, they were indeed a little tired, and it was the end of summer and the beginning of autumn, and it was the hot time, and they all felt that their mouths were about to smoke.

Sugar was put in the mung bean soup, and sugar was a rarity in these days, and one soldier drank a bowl and exclaimed, "Comfortable." ”

Zhang Wan'er was on the side, looking at everyone with a smile, and said, "I cooked a lot, if it's not enough, I'll let the girls bring some later." ”

"Enough is enough." Several soldiers hurriedly said.

Zhang Wan'er smiled, these soldiers had drunk enough, and other soldiers were replaced to drink, and soon, a jar full of mung bean soup was drunk. Zhang Wan'er continued to take the maids and bring water to the other soldiers. Half an hour later, the soldiers of the entire Yanwang Mansion drank the mung bean soup, and they felt satisfied one by one.

At the same time, the Yang Mansion was screaming and killing, Chen Dongshen sent his son Chen Zhou to lead the troops to attack, and the Yang Mansion had nearly fifty troops left, they were stuck at the gate, and after a period of fighting, the ground was already full of corpses.

"Kill, don't leave a single one!" Chen Zhou shouted loudly, King Yan and Yang Lian will never die, he will never give up.

Zhang Wenyi presided over the overall situation in Yang Lian's mansion, although the Yang Mansion had few people, but under his deployment, the soldiers resisted in an orderly manner, and there were many people in the Yang Mansion who were very important to Yang Lian, and they must be protected.

In the backyard, more than 20 people were guarding Fu Jinzhan's residence, and Zhang Qili was on the side, and said very worriedly: "Sister Fu, will they attack it?" ”

"Don't worry, you have to believe in Yang Gongzi." Fu Jinzhan laughed, but there was some worry in his heart.

Seeing that Fu Jinzhan was very sure, Zhang Qili nodded firmly and said, "Sister Fu, I believe in you." ”

Fu Jinzhan said: "Don't worry, back then, in the Great Xiangguo Temple, I said for the senior monk that Yang Gongzi is not a short-lived person, he will definitely be able to get through the difficulties, once he passes this pass, he can become a master." ”

"Human?" Zhang Qili was stunned for a moment and said, "Isn't that the emperor?" ”

"No, the foundation is not shaky, and it is not enough to make things happen." Fu Jinzhan shook his head, and suddenly asked again: "Sister Zhang, do you believe Yang Gongzi?" ”

"Believe, nature is to believe, no matter what he does, I will always believe." Zhang Qili said.

Fu Jinzhan nodded, and was about to speak, when there was another sound of gongs and drums outside the house, and Fu Jinzhan couldn't help but stand up and said, "They have increased their troops." ”

Zhang Wenyi looked at the enemy outside Yang's mansion with a solemn expression, Chen Zhou couldn't attack it for a long time, Li Hongji got the news and sent troops to support again. Since Li Hongji had firmly controlled the imperial city, the troops that could be drawn out also increased.

Zhu Lingyun sent his younger brother Zhu Lingquan to lead 300 soldiers to come, with the addition of this group of soldiers, Chen Zhou suddenly had confidence, in order to make up for the mistake of not being able to attack for a long time, he personally led the troops to charge. At this time, Zhang Wenyi had just sent someone to block the gate, and Chen Zhou had to lead his troops over the wall, but the walls of Yang's Mansion were covered with sharp and sharp stones, and it was not so easy to climb over. In order to quickly break through the Yang Mansion, Chen Zhou had to forcibly attack from the gate.

Zhu Lingquan was a little surprised, logically speaking, Yang Lian is dead, their resistance should not be so fierce, could it be that there are any important people in the Yang Mansion? Zhu Lingquan thought about it while asking people to return the news to his brother.

In the imperial city, in the secret room, the atmosphere is still stale, seeing that his father has no way to escape, Li Hongji finally let go of his heart at this time, his father's biggest reliance was originally Chen Keyan, but Chen Keyan has already taken refuge in him. In this way, the father is left with only this secret room, but how much secret can this secret room have?

Li Hongji has already seen Xu Wei, no matter how powerful this person is, can he stop the armor? So Li Hongji is full of confidence. Like a cat, he looked at Li Jing, Zeng Yiling and others like looking at a mouse trembling on the ground.

At this time, he was not in a hurry, his eyes swept over everyone, Li Hongji said with a sneer: "Father, this place is really hidden. ”

"Rebel!" Li Jing was very angry, but he could only say these two words.

Li Hongji doesn't care, things have come to this point, does he still care about these two words?

At this time, Zhu Yuan entered the imperial study, he saw the secret passage, and took Zhou Zong into the secret passage.

Zhou Zong's expression was depressed, this day had finally come, but who would have thought that King Yan would be able to attack the imperial city? After entering the secret room, Zhou Zong saw the angry Li Jing at a glance.

"Your Majesty!" Zhou Zong's voice trembled.

"Zhou Situ, you, you're here too?" Li Jing was stunned at first, thinking that Zhou Zong was also here to force the palace, but when he saw that Zhou Zong was tied up by five flowers, he immediately understood that Zhou Zong was held hostage.

Li Hongji slowly turned around, glanced at Zhou Zong, snorted coldly, and said, "Zhou Situ, don't come to harm?" ”

Zhou Zong was so angry with him that he couldn't speak, don't look over, don't look at Li Hongji.

"Dog thief, death row prisoner under the knife, dare to be so arrogant!" Seeing Zhou Zong like this, Zhu Yuan snorted coldly, stepped forward and kicked Zhou Zong's buttocks.

This foot was so powerful that Zhou Zong had no power to resist, and the kicked "kick" took a few steps forward, fell to the ground, and his forehead hit the desk, and blood flowed immediately.

Gao Ze endured the pain, took a few steps forward, and helped Zhou Zong up.

Zhou Zong shook his head and gasped, although his forehead hurt very much, it was not as painful as the pain in his heart. He knew that if he was caught today, this little life would definitely be lost. I'm afraid the only hope is Yang Lian.

Li Hongji looked at Zhou Zong, angry and angry, Zhou Zong in his eyes, is a two-faced villain, at first in order to deal with Yang Lian, he took refuge in him, and later received a little favor from Yang Lian, so he resolutely left him. Of course, what made Li Hongji the most angry was the matter of Emperor Zhou E, Li Hongji was sure that even if Zhou Zong did not participate in the robbery of Emperor Zhou E, at least he knew the whereabouts of Emperor Zhou E, otherwise, why was he not anxious at all after his daughter disappeared? It doesn't make sense at all.

Li Hongji sneered, slowly pulled out the long knife on his waist, and stepped forward step by step.

"Zhou Situ, do you know the current mood of this king?" Li Hongji sneered.

Seeing him like this, Zhou Zong knew that he couldn't escape it, he glanced at the Son of Heaven, smiled bitterly, and said, "Your Majesty, the old minister will go first." As he spoke, he straightened his chest and looked undaunted.

Li Hongji laughed out loud and said, "Okay, good, since you are not afraid of death, then this king will give you a ride!" ”

Li Jing shouted: "You dare! ”

"Father, what else can you do to stop me?" Li Hongji glanced at him disdainfully, and with a flick of the long knife, he aimed at Zhou Zong and slashed down powerfully.
