The herald didn't have time to salute, so he ran directly into the East Palace, and soon, all kinds of passwords, whistles, and bangs sounded together, accompanied by the sound of people shouting and neighing horses and the sound of "clicking" when military boots were heavily stepped on the ground.

Yang Xuangan said to Yuwenshu: "General, Xuangan has something to ask for, please take care of His Royal Highness King Jin, he is the foundation of the future country, nothing can happen, Xuangan will go to the Yueguo Mansion to mobilize people now, and you will go out of the city directly after you are assembled, don't wait for me." ”

Yu Wenshu looked resolute and nodded heavily: "You can rest assured." ”

Yang Zhao stepped forward and took Yang Xuangan's hand, and tears glistened in his eyes that were squeezed by the fat on his face: "Xuangan, don't force yourself, if you really can't save your life, you have done so much for us, no one will blame you." ”

Yang Xuangan smiled: "No one in the world can hurt me." Fatty, I'm here waiting for you to come back. ”

Yuwen Shu took two steps forward, took out a piece of jade pendant on his body, stuffed it in Yang Xuangan's hand, and said in a deep voice: "General Yang, you can use this jade pendant to my mansion, and let my three sons bring the people in the mansion to the East Palace to defend, I am a child, you should know, his eldest son Yuwen Chengdu, although he is only sixteen years old, is born with divine power, and the general can also fight, in an emergency, he can help the general." ”

Yang Xuangan didn't believe that there were still people in this world who could compare with him in terms of force, and after hearing this, he only thought it was Yuwenshu's polite words, and didn't take it to heart. But he still took the token. smiled. Then he got on the horse and left.

Yu Wenshu looked at Yang Xuangan's figure that gradually disappeared at the end of the palace road, sighed, turned his head to Yang Zhao and said, "His Royal Highness King Jin, we should also go on the road!" ”

The streets of Daxing were deserted, and all the shops were sealed, and occasionally a few bold and curious fellows poked their heads out of the doors, looked around the street, and then quickly shrank back again.

Yang Xuangan rode on the deserted street. Behind the rise of a billowing yellow smoke, the streets of Daxing are not the asphalt roads of later generations, they are still made of yellow earth, which is also the main reason why horses are not allowed in the city, but now is an extraordinary period, and the streets are empty, Yang Xuangan no longer cares about this ban, and runs all the way to the Yueguo Mansion.

The door of the mansion was closed, and the wall was not full of archers like the East Palace, but Yang Xuangan could feel a strong murderous aura behind the door. At least dozens of well-trained killers were now hiding behind the doors inside the walls with steel knives in hand.

Yang Xuangan shouted loudly: "Open the door." I am the young master, and I am in a hurry to return home. ”

The majestic main gate "squeaked", leaving a crack, Yang Xuangan didn't think much about it, jumped off the horse directly, and got into it through the crack in the door.

Entering the mansion, Yang Xuangan was slightly stunned, it turned out that there were more than 100 black-clothed men lying behind the wall, everyone's eyes flashed with a cold glow, and Yang Hong, who has always been a courteous housekeeper, was also holding a sword, wearing leather armor, and after seeing Yang Xuangan, he was a long man, and said in a low voice: "The young master is back." ”

Yang Xuangan nodded: "Have you received news from Li Si?" ”

Yang Hong said: "Yes, he has just been here for a long time, and just now the Red Whisk girl gave an order to send five hundred people to the East Palace to help guard it." ”

Yang Xuan was secretly taken aback: "Why did she give this order?" ”

Yang Hong said: "The Red Whisk girl said, now the target of those thieves is not us here, but Yang Yong, the former prince of the East Palace, if the army goes out of the city, there will definitely be an empty guard, so she is ready to personally take five hundred people to the East Palace to help guard." ”

Yang Xuangan laughed: "You just arrived at the East Palace, without the approval of General Yuwen, will the guards of the East Palace trust you to allow you to enter the East Palace?" ”

Red Fu's delicate voice suddenly sounded: "Don't worry, I have calculated the time, even if General Yuwen has set off now, we will meet you on the road." ”

Yang Xuan was surprised and delighted, turned his head, and saw Hongfu dressed in men's clothes, with a jade sword wrapped around his waist, looking at him with a light smile, followed by a black-clothed swordsman who pressed a large area of black.

Yang Xuangan looked at Hongfu's beautiful eyes full of affection, his heart was hot, he took two steps forward, and whispered in her ear: "Are you going to defend the East Palace or do you want to see me?" ”

Hongfu's face flushed slightly: "Big things are important, how can you take care of anything else at this time?" ”

Yang Xuangan nodded, took a step back, and asked, "You transferred five hundred people, what should the guards in this mansion do?" ”

Red Breeze said loudly: "Back to the young master, the guards in the palace originally had 1,200 people, transferred 500, and there are 700 people, once the shape is urgent, give up the periphery and guard the inner courtyard, you can resist for at least a day." The other princes led the guards in the palace to guard the inner courtyard, and now most of the people in the outer courtyard were transferred back from outside the palace. ”

Yang Xuan glanced at Hongfu approvingly, turned to Yang Hong and said: "The defense of this mansion will be handed over to you, do what Hongfu said, don't come hard, our mansion is too big, and now there are few people, it is impossible to defend all in place, when it is really not possible, break through in the direction of the East Palace!" ”

Yang Hong nodded: "Young master, don't worry, there is me." ”

Yang Xuangan smiled, turned his head, and said to the red whisk: "Get me a set of drapes, and then help me bring the black clouds, oh, by the way, don't forget my stainless steel horse lance, today, this Daxing City is my Yang Xuangan's battlefield." ”

At the same time, in Pei Shiju's mansion in Daxing City, Wang Shichong, Pei Shiju and He Ruobi were all masked in black scarves, wearing cloaks, and sitting in the living room of the mansion.

"Report! Yang Xuangan and Li Mi have already left the camp of Changsun Sheng!"

"Report! Li Mi returned to the camp of Changsun Sheng, and Yang Xuangan entered the city alone!"

"Report! Yang Xuangan has already entered the East Palace!"

"Report! The door of the East Palace was wide open, and Yang Xuangan rode out alone, and he had entered the Yue Guo Mansion. And the red deer outside the East Palace has been moved. There seems to be a change!"

"Report! King of Jin. King Yuzhang and Princess Xiao have already boarded the car, and the Xiaoguo army has lined up and is ready to leave the city!"

Wang Shichong kept his eyes closed, listening to this express report, until this sentence, his eyes suddenly opened, the blue light was shining, and he asked sharply: "Yang Yong can be in the car?" ”

The messenger shook his head: "I haven't seen it." ”

He Ruobi stood up suddenly: "Wang Shichong, it's time for you to make up your mind." Don't miss a big deal because of your personal relationship with Yang Xuangan! Once they bring Yang Yong to break through, we won't be able to stop it anymore!"

Pei Shiju also looked anxious: "That is, now we have more than 20,000 people in the city, even if we fight with Xiaoguo, we may not lose, we must not miss the opportunity, and the time will not come again!"

Wang Shichong shook his head: "No, if Yang Xuangan took Yang Yong out of the city, he would not return to the house at this time, he must have asked Yuwenshu's Xiaoguo Army to take Yang Guang's family to Renshou Palace first." And he went to transfer his family soldiers to guard the East Palace, and Yang Yong and Yang Xiu. I must have stayed in the East Palace now. ”

He Ruobi's eyes flashed coldly: "Wang Shichong, how can you be sure that Yang Yong is not in the car?" ”

Wang Shichong said with a straight face: "They didn't even hide Yang Guang's family when they got in the car, so why hide a Yang Yong, if Yang Yong is also in the car and breaks through with all his might, then Yang Xuangan is a soldier who is a family soldier, and he also kills with the car, instead of returning to the East Palace." ”

Pei Shiju sighed: "Anyway, since they have divided their troops, we will attack Xiaoguo with all our strength, and it is not bad to catch Yang Guang's family." ”

Wang Shichong shook his head: "Hongdae, once you make a move now, it will be a dead fish, and there is no way out, Yang Xuangan came from Renshou Palace at this time, obviously something big happened over there, if I expect it to be good, either the emperor dies, or the emperor has an important will to be announced, but since they transferred the most loyal to Yang Guang Yuwenshu to Renshou Palace at this time, it is obviously not a good thing." ”

Pei Shiju was stunned: "Xingman, you mean, they want to kill the king?" ”

Wang Shichong nodded heavily: "Don't rule out this possibility, we can't take care of Renshou Palace, the only thing we can do is to wait for Yuwenshu to leave the city, storm Daxing Palace, capture Yang Yong, and defect to King Han!"

He Ruobi snorted heavily: "Why don't you spread the news in the city now, saying that Yang Su and Yang Guang have killed the king, and call on the families of the whole city to raise troops together, rescue Yang Yong, and then kill the escort of Renshou Palace?" ”

Wang Shichong gritted his teeth: "General He Ruo, that's the last resort, if the emperor is fine, then I will be wiped out, Yang Xuangan is not a fool, after Yuwen Shu leaves the city, I will meet him, try to persuade him to take the initiative to hand over Yang Yong, so as to avoid war." ”

Pei Shiju sighed: "What if he refuses to hand over?" ”

The murderous opportunity in Wang Shichong's eyes appeared: "That's unspeakable, I had to storm the East Palace, and the jade was burned!"

In the Yue Guo Mansion, Yang Xuangan sat on a horse tie on the inside of the mansion gate, and Hongfu was helping him put on his armor one by one.

Originally, this kind of thing has always been done by the majestic sea, but today, Yang Xuangan himself doesn't know what the fate will be after leaving this mansion, and Hongfu also has the same idea, so when Hongfu proposed that she would serve Yang Xuangan to pierce his armor this time, Yang Xuangan did not refuse.

Yang Xuanting, Yang Xuanzong, Yang Xuanxian, Yang Jishan, Yang Wanshuo and other younger brothers all stood aside, dressed all over their bodies, silently handing over pieces of nail leaves to the red whisk, all the people were silent, the air was frozen, and only the sound of the metal hitting the red whisk when he put the nail on Yang Xuangan.

After a while, Yang Xuangan was neatly draped, and the double-layer Mingguang armor had been put on, these two pairs of armor were tailor-made for Yang Xuangan a few months ago, Yang Xuangan had never had a chance to wear them, and he didn't think that it would come in handy now.

At this moment, the shiny armor is shining in this summer sun, the so-called fine armor Yao Ri is talking about Yang Xuangan's current appearance.

Yang Xuangan turned his head to look at each of his younger brothers, he knew that his younger brothers were worried, so none of them spoke, his eyes swept Yang Jishan, who was standing at the end, and his stainless steel horse lance was being clenched by his hands, shaking slightly.

Yang Xuangan walked in front of Ji Shan and smiled: "Ji Shan, you have also grown into a man, you can help the eldest brother take this stainless steel horse lance, and when the eldest brother comes back this time, he will definitely teach you kung fu immediately." ”

Yang Jishan has been a little weak since he was a child, probably because his biological mother, Princess Lechang, is not very good, so he has not been able to practice martial arts since he was a child. Every time I see my brothers dancing with guns and sticks, I always look at them with envy.

is such a weak scholar. At this time, he also held Yang Xuangan's weapon. This brotherly love was deep, so that Hongfu and Yang Hong, who were standing on the side, were a little moved, turned around and wiped their eyes gently.

Yang Xuangan took the horse lance in Ji Shan's hand, holding the lance handle with one hand, the tip of the lance was facing the sky, he finally glanced around at his brothers, and said in a deep voice: "Brothers, guard our Yang family." As soon as we listen to the arrangement of Manager Yang, we will see you again soon. ”

Xuan Zong and the others clasped their fists in unison and saluted: "Big brother, cherish, brother is waiting for your good news!" ”

Yang Xuangan laughed, turned over and rode onto the black cloud, glanced at the five hundred strong men behind him, and said in a deep voice: "Go!" ”

The heavy gate of the Yue Guo Mansion slowly opened, and Yang Xuangan took the lead and rushed to the front, and all those strong men wore ghost masks. Even the Red Whisks were the same, they didn't wear armor. Rather, it is the dress of the people in the rivers and lakes, more than 300 people are armed with swords, and the rest are carrying bows and crossbows, and the crossbowmen are surrounded by the outside, the arrows are wound, and the crossbows are on the machine, all of them are highly vigilant and ready to fire at any time.

Yang Xuangan slowed down, feeling whether there was murderous aura in front of him, the swordsmen behind him were all masters who could fly off the wall, he was not worried about one-on-one fighting, but he was afraid that the other party could also come in formation, and in the face of the heavy armor battle array, these swordsmen and swordsmen would be a little powerless.

After walking through two long streets, Yang Xuangan suddenly heard a rush of footsteps in the distance, there were quite a few people listening to the sound, there were hundreds of people, he immediately raised his hand, signaled the people behind him to stop advancing, and with an order, the crossbowmen on both sides were all concentrated in the front row, and one or two hundred strong bows and hard crossbows pointed to the intersection in front.

Yang Xuangan slowly raised his hand, and once he confirmed that the other party was an enemy, he would decisively slash his hand downward, and then an arrow would form behind him, covering this wide intersection.

Yang Xuangan saw that the more than fifty crossbowmen were using the kind of cavalry crossbows that could be fired in three consecutive rounds with the standard equipment of the Xiaoguo cavalry, and they could fire three arrows in an instant, which was really the first weapon to fight in this kind of terrain.

The footsteps were getting closer and closer, Yang Xuangan's eyes were wide open, and he didn't dare to take a breath in the atmosphere, and a piece of yellow poured out from the intersection on the right, led by Chai Xiaohe.

Yang Xuangan breathed a sigh of relief, his hand slowly put down, and the crossbowmen behind him also put down the bows and crossbows in their hands, Chai Xiaohe turned his head to look, and found that there were hundreds of people in ambush in the alley on the side, first slightly stunned, and then recognized Yang Xuangan, and immediately signaled the team to stop, and he ran over, until he ran to Yang Xuangan's horse, and then bowed and said: "I have seen the prince of Yueguo!" ”

Yang Xuangan nodded: "Chai Xiaohe, you should have received a message from me, let you take good care of the Pushan County Mansion, why did you leave your post without permission?" How can I explain to my brother when you look like this? ”

Chai Xiaohe's face was confused: "Didn't the red whisk girl say that she wanted me to order all the soldiers and quickly go to the East Palace to assist in the defense?" ”

Yang Xuangan glanced back at the red whisk wearing the ghost mask, only to see the red whisk winked at him playfully, and he suddenly understood that it was the red whisk who changed his order and asked these people in Li Mi's mansion to help guard.

So Yang Xuangan coughed dryly: "Ah, yes, it's this order, I just asked you, how is the defense arrangement on the Pushan County Mansion." ”

Chai Xiaohe arched his hand and said: "There are no important people and items in the house, and the prince also explained before leaving, there is no need to defend the Pushan County Mansion, so I only left fifty people to watch the house, and the other six hundred and fifty strong men were all brought out." ”

Yang Xuangan glanced at Chai Xiaohe and the people behind him, all of them were dressed in yellow shirts, masked in yellow scarves, holding short weapons, and the difference with the people behind him was that there was not even a single archer.

Yang Xuangan changed his stern tone, and said to Chai Xiaohe: "Xiaohe, you must be careful when you encounter this kind of thing in the future, as if you were just in a hurry, there are no sentry guards and sharp soldiers in front, there is no shield protection on both sides, once you are ambushed, you will suffer a big loss, if it is not me but the enemy who is ambushed in this alley just now, I am afraid that at least half of you will die at this moment." ”

Chai Xiaohe's face turned red, and sweat broke out on his forehead: "What General Yang taught is that Xiaohe didn't go into battle and fought, but just rushed to the East Palace, which was too careless." ”

After so many years, Yang Xuangan still remembers that this Chai Xiaohe was instructed by someone to try to break into his mansion to steal information, and he has never liked this person very much, but at this moment, seeing that he disregarded his own defense in the mansion, but was convinced of Hongfu's order, and his disgust for this person in his heart suddenly became much less.

Yang Xuangan looked at Chai Xiao and the yellow-clothed people behind him, and his tone became calmer: "I'm exploring the road in front, your people and ours are mixed together, your people are in the middle, and our crossbowmen are guarding on both sides." ”

Both groups of people are well-trained killers, after Yang Xuangan gave the order, he quickly lined up the team according to his requirements, more than a thousand strong men in black and yellow, with swords out of the sheath, with the cooperation and cover of the crossbowmen on both sides, formed a small phalanx, accelerated the pace, and quickly rushed towards the East Palace, while Yang Xuangan was still galloping in the front, making a sharp soldier for the entire phalanx.

In this way, half an hour later, this phalanx marched to Daxing Palace, and the palace was already empty, even the guards in front of the Suzaku Gate were gone, and the empty gate revealed a trace of weirdness.

Yang Xuangan stopped the team first, and rode his horse to the door to take a look, the huge square was empty, and on the palace road leading to the East Palace, the three-story checkpoints had all been removed, and there was no living person in the entire Daxing Palace. (To be continued......)
