Chapter 349: The Turmoil Calms Down
Jade Order?
Li Xingqing's stagnant thinking was a little incomprehensible, he had seen that jade order, it was clearly in his hand at that time, and with that jade order, he could command that terrible secret guard!
However, how did the gentleman's jade order get into the hands of the prince? A trace of doubt surged up on Li Xingqing's face, and before he could continue to think about it, his heart had stopped beating.
He didn't close his eyes......
The seemingly loyal face was full of puzzlement, as if he was expecting someone to answer his questions......
Then, don't blink an eye!
"The Royal Forest Army obeys the order, the traitor Li Xingqing is dead, immediately put down his weapon and arrest him, and he will guarantee that the accomplice will not be prosecuted!"
Seeing Li Xingqing suddenly descend out of thin air, a trace of astonishment passed over Yu Chi Baolin's face, but then he reflected it, raised the sword in his hand high, and shouted.
The soldiers he brought himself, he naturally knew that it was absolutely impossible for him to have the intention to rebel!
These people were nothing more than deceived by Li Xingqing, and now that Li Xingqing is dead, they have no leader, so naturally there will be no effective resistance, so Yu Chi Baolin waved his hand and signaled the East Palace to temporarily stop the defense in his hands.
"I know Commander Wei Chi, he can't rebel!"
I don't know which soldier shouted first, and then dropped his weapon.
One, two......
As Yu Chi Baolin expected, the Imperial Forest Army in Donghua Gate was just deceived by others, and now that the truth is clear, they are naturally tied.
And Li Hong, who had been paying attention to the situation, was also relieved at this moment, and stepped forward under the escort of the East Palace.
"It's hard work General Chi!"
The smile on the corner of Li Hong's mouth was still warm, but the jade order that he had originally played with in his hand quietly fell into the sleeve robe.
"Your Highness is polite, guarding the imperial city is a matter within the minister's responsibility, and the fall of Donghuamen is the responsibility of the minister, to be swept away by the traitors, the minister will write to His Majesty to ask for guilt!"
Yu Chi Baolin's face was filled with a hint of guilt.
He just saw that the imperial city had been guarded for so many days without anything, so he hurriedly went back to the house to pack some things, who would have thought that in just an hour, such a big event would happen in the imperial city!
If it weren't for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince coming to the house late at night to inform him, I'm afraid he would still be ignorant!
Although the possibility is very small, if those thieves are allowed to successfully enter the imperial city, then he will really die for Chi Baolin!
"The general doesn't have to blame himself, some people have wolf ambitions and have been trying to spy on the artifact for a long time, and this matter is not the general's responsibility! It's just that there is no empirical evidence at the moment, so the military strength delivered to the general is only the personal guards of the East Palace, please forgive the general! ”
A sneer appeared on Li Hong's face, but he said slightly apologetically.
"Your Highness rest assured, Your Majesty's mother is surrounded by the Qianniu Guard led by the minister himself, and the thieves will never be able to break through their defenses, and now the minister will immediately send an order to block the imperial city, and then immediately rush to the Zichen Palace, which will definitely ensure that His Majesty's mother is safe!"
Yu Chi Baolin said with a solemn expression.
Then he untied the seal letter he carried with him and handed it to his own soldiers to give orders, while he himself rode forward and continued towards the imperial city......
…………
Zichen Palace.
"Your Majesty, Niangniang, His Royal Highness King Yongwang has taken control of Donghua Gate, and is leading people to ambush in Qingfu Palace at this moment, and the old slave has sent people to secretly lurk around Qingfu Palace, how to deal with it, please show Your Majesty Niangniang!"
Wu Liangfu's face was neither sad nor joyful, and he stood aside respectfully and spoke.
Hearing this news, the last glimmer of hope in Li Zhi's eyes also faded, and a look of disappointment swelled up on his face, and he said coldly.
"This rebel still has some self-knowledge, knowing that it is impossible to break through the imperial city with his little strength! What's going on over there with Hong'er? Did you get the news? ”
"Back to Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince should have received the news, and he is rushing towards the Imperial City at this moment, but ......"
Wu Liangfu's tone was slightly hesitant, and he paused and spoke.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince went to visit General Wei Chi before he came down, and he didn't mobilize the six rates of the East Palace, but just brought the guards of the East Palace!"
"Nonsense!"
Hearing this news, a flush swelled up on Li Zhi's pale face, and Huo Di straightened up from the bed and said in a hurried tone.
"That rebel son can't break through the imperial city no matter what, he took Donghua Gate clearly to ambush and kill the prince, why is this Hong'er so confused! Wu Liangfu, you immediately take my token, take Qianniuwei to Donghua Gate, and rush to the aid of the prince! ”
Although Li Zhi had already known earlier that Li Xian might give it a go, it wasn't until just now that he realized that Li Xian's goal was not the Xuanwu Gate like back then, his real goal was the East Palace!
I also know that as long as Li Hong dies and there is no conclusive evidence to prove that it was him, the position of the East Palace is naturally in his pocket!
Originally, Li Zhi thought that with Li Hong's intelligence, he would inevitably take the opportunity to mobilize the six rates of the East Palace.
Even if it is a crime of transferring troops without authorization, but as long as there are extenuating circumstances, everything is easy to say! How did he know that he was so bold and dared to enter the imperial city with only his personal guards, it was really confusing!
"Yes!"
Wu Liangfu didn't talk nonsense, bowed forward, took the token from the imperial case in front of Li Zhi, and left the hall in a hurry.
"Your Majesty, rest assured, Hong'er is not a person who follows the rules, since he does this, he must have his own certainty, not to mention that since he invited Yu Chi Baolin to come with him, presumably the Royal Forest Army will definitely not hurt him!"
Seeing that Li Zhi's face was flushed and he was panting heavily, Empress Wu's expression was slightly worried, and she hurriedly stepped forward to calm Li Zhi's breath and said softly.
"Alas, the Imperial Forest Army obeys the orders of the Son of Heaven, even if Bao Lin is the commander of the Imperial Forest Army, if he doesn't have my token in his hand, I'm afraid it won't help, after all, those ordinary Imperial Forest Army soldiers are different from Qianniuwei...... I just hope that Wu Liangfu can catch up this time! ”
Li Zhi sighed heavily and said faintly.
After that, he turned his head to look at the heavy night outside the window, and there was a rare touch of murderous intent in his expression, and his voice became extremely cold.
"If something really happens to Hong'er, I will never let go of that rebel!"
Empress Wu was slightly stunned, but she was silent, but her face was gloomy, and she also looked out the window, her expression full of worry.
But it was only a moment, and there was a sound in the hall, and Wu Liangfu, who was supposed to lead Qianniuwei to Donghua Gate, turned back again, his steps were hurried, but his face was full of joy.
"Why are you back again?"
A trace of displeasure crossed Li Zhi's face, and his voice became cold.
However, Wu Liangfu was not frightened, but calmly arched his hand and said in a deep voice.
"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and General Wei Chi are asking to see you outside!"
