(I highly recommend everyone to collect and read Muzi's new book "Blood Emperor Map")

April 21, 616, Luoyang, the eastern capital.

In the early hours of the morning, the guards trembled and woke up the sleeping murderous demon king Luo Shixin and the chaotic demon king Cheng Yanjin, two drunken generals: "General Luo, General Cheng, Your Highness's urgent military order has arrived." The herald's guards are waiting in the front hall, so please go and greet them quickly. ”

The two hurriedly threw down the wine jar in their hands, got up, and hurried to the front hall. There, there was a bright fire, and there were soldiers in armor everywhere. Decheng bit Jin's heart suddenly, and he didn't know what was going on.

A tall and burly officer of the Imperial Forest Iron Guard hurriedly greeted him: "Is it General Cheng of the Leopard Cavalry and General Luo of the Cavalry General?" ”

"Exactly."

"I'm very sorry, two generals, Your Highness has urgently summoned you, please come with me immediately." The officer with the torch spoke too quickly and slurredly, and Cheng Luo, who was sleepy-eyed and hungover, could hardly hear a word clearly, and asked, "What did you say?" ”

The officer repeated it again.

Cheng Yanjin let out a soft "oh", and after a while, he reacted, and an exclamation of "ah" said: "Please wait a moment, let Ben Jiang change his clothes." "Hurriedly looking for armor to change into, Luo Shixin's speed was very fast, and he didn't have to put it on in a while. While waiting for Cheng to bite the gold, he asked the officer of the Imperial Forest Iron Guard who gave the order: "Have you informed Shubao?" ”

"General Hui, General Qin has already entered the palace first."

"Really?" Luo Shixin looked at the dark night, a few stars twinkling in the dark night, it was the early hours of the morning. He suddenly felt a little uneasy in his heart, and it was not a good thing to be summoned in the middle of the night in such an urgent way. And looking at the heavily armed and significantly strengthened martial law on the streets, this feeling is becoming more and more intense.

Cheng Yanjin hurriedly changed his clothes, Luo Shixin came up and nodded to him, and whispered: "Something is not quite right, let's be careful." ”

Cheng Yanjin nodded: "I know." They went out with the Kingsguard soldiers with torches.

Walk through the long, dark and silent streets. Facing the majestic imperial palace Ziwei Palace. The entire palace was sleeping in darkness, like a sleeping beast. The light of the torches shone on the huge pillar of golden dragons, staining the entire pillar with a scarlet color. Get up close to this majestic building. Between the ornate column decorations, the wide corridors echoed with the steady footsteps of the imperial guards, and General Cheng Luo seemed to smell a smell of killing and blood.

Two years ago, on this white marble staircase. At that time, the two who were only a junior general of the Liaodong Army, Qin Qiong, Daniel Zhang, Chen Lei, Wei Chigong brothers, Li Chengyi three brothers, Zhang Jin, and dozens of other brothers who are now the bravest in the Hebei army, broke into this place to bring Princess Izumo from the palace back to Liaodong. As a result, they brought the wrong person that time, and they took Princess Nanyo as Princess Izumo.

At the foot of this corridor, more than 20 of them were discovered by Yang Guang's Xiaoguo Praetorian Guards. More than 20 people fought with a large number of guards in Yang Guang Palace. That battle can be described as nine deaths. I bled all the way and almost got stuck here, and I never got out. If it weren't for the brothers outside breaking into the palace at the last moment, maybe there would be no more of their gradually famous generals in the Hebei army today.

Luo Shixin still clearly remembers that time he was hit in the abdomen and was surrounded by the guards. At the moment of life and death, Cheng Biting Jin, who had already rushed to kill, resolutely turned back and killed back, just when Cheng Biting Jin was covered in blood and killed his side, they were surrounded together. Luo Shixin's cold heart couldn't help but boil for it, at that moment. His blood boiled and tears welled up in his eyes. From then on, he regarded Cheng Yanjin as the best brother in his life except for Qin Qiong. …,

Cheng Biting Jin took a long breath, I don't know what's going on, every time he comes to the Luoyang Palace, he always feels very uncomfortable, and this feeling is especially obvious tonight.

At the entrance of the palace, two rows of the most elite Imperial Forest Iron Guard soldiers stood solemnly with torches, and Chen Lei, the chief guard of the Imperial Guard, was waiting by the door. Seeing the arrival of the two, Chen Lei said expressionlessly: "You guys are late." His Highness waited inside. ”

The light of the torch shaking shone on Chen Lei's granite-like face, shining on his expressionless face. Next to him, two lines of Iron Guard soldiers held spears in one hand. Holding a torch in one hand, his face was grim.

Luo Shixin and the others looked at him and didn't greet him. Today, Chen Lei's serious appearance made them have a worse premonition in their hearts.

Thinking of King Chen's cleansing in Hebei at the beginning, Cheng Biting Jin's heart tightened, could it be that King Chen planned to come to the Eastern Capital like this, or what did someone in the Eastern Capital want to do? Who struck first? It is unlikely that it is on King Chen's side, otherwise he would not know nothing, but now that the Hebei army has defeated Li Mi, there should be no one in the Eastern Capital who is so stupid......

While thinking wildly, the two demon kings walked along the gorgeous carpet to the Wenhua Hall where tonight's meeting was held, and he noticed that the guards of the palace today were much stricter than those of previous days. On the long road from the east of the Acropolis to the Wenhua Palace, there are guards with sharp weapons standing everywhere, cold, gloomy, and quiet, only the sound of their heavy footsteps is echoing, the fire is swaying, and the shadows are building, this feeling makes people shudder.

An iron guard pushed open the door of the hall for him, and hundreds of palace lamps illuminated the entire hall. In the place close to the seat of His Royal Highness King Chen, quite a few people had already gathered. Cheng Yanjin and Luo Shixin hurriedly approached, they already knew that Qin Qiong, the general of Huben, Zhang Jin, the director of the special service department, and other Hebei generals in Luoyang had already arrived first. Even Marshal Li Jing, who originally led the army in Yanshi, appeared in armor on the hall.

"Do you know what's going on?" didn't care about greetings, Cheng Biting's family asked everyone.

Everyone shook their heads blankly, their eyes revealing incomprehension.

Seeing that they were all confused, and knowing that he was not the only one who didn't understand, Cheng Yanjin felt a little more relaxed: "Everyone is in the dark!" ”

waited for less than a moment, and then, Feng Wan, Zhang Chuchen, and Zhai Jiaojiao also hurriedly came over, and everyone asked, "What happened?" But there was no one to answer, and there was uneasiness in the air.

"Your Highness has arrived!" The bronze guards of the Royal Forest standing by the door raised their voices and shouted clearly, and everyone immediately bowed their heads and saluted. Chen Kefu appeared at the door, wearing a dark velvet cloak, his figure was gloomy, and his eyebrows were tangled. I don't know why, at this time, the eldest grandson Shunde, who should have been in Taiyuan, Henan, appeared here, he was dressed in armor, full of exhaustion, as if he had just arrived in Luoyang.

"No need to be polite!" Chen Kefu's clear voice carried a hint of tiredness, and then became stern: "According to the latest information, we are in trouble, a big trouble!" He said coldly, and then slowly moved from face to face and swept over the generals of the hall.

The air condensed in an instant.

After a long time, no one spoke first, and everyone felt the anger in Chen Kefu's tone, which was a rare anger exposed. In the past, even if Chen Kefu was unhappy in his heart, he rarely showed his expression outside.

Feng Wan got up and bowed deeply to Chen Kefu: "Your Highness, I don't know what you mean by big trouble?" ”

"Hedong! The situation in Hedong has changed greatly, Liang Shidu, Liu Wuzhou, Guo Zihe, and Zhang Changxun have secretly formed an alliance, and they have betrayed us! Chen Kefu slapped his palm on a few sons: "A few days ago, Liang Shidu, Liu Wuzhou, Zhang Changxun, Guo Zi and the four secretly formed an alliance and suddenly turned their faces. They made a surprise attack on Marshal Wang Rengong's eastward marching camp! Fortunately, Marshal Wang had been prepared for them, and although he was attacked, he held the camp. Guan Jian Yanmen Yao Junsu stood on our side, and Marshal Wang was able to retreat to Yanmen. The sturdy green jade case was instantly shattered by Chen Kefu's palm, and the tiny jade fragments were scattered all over the ground. Everyone was secretly frightened, but they didn't expect King Chen to make a move with anger, and one palm was so powerful. …,

"How about Taiyuan and Shangdang City?" Li Jing's face was heavy, and Liang Shidu and others turned their faces at this time, which made Li Jing a little surprised. Although he knew that Liu Wuzhou and others were only taking advantage of the momentum of Hebei, they did not surrender sincerely. But everyone didn't expect that these local heroes could reach an alliance so quickly, and even choose such a suitable time to do it.

Chen Kefu calmed down the anger in his heart: "Fortunately, Marshal Wang has already written the order of this king before, and he has already transferred the 20,000 soldiers and horses that we were lurking in Hedong to the second county of Taiyuan Shangdang before these four rebels attacked Taiyuan and Shangdang. Now Marshal Wang is in Taiyuan, Wuji is in Yanmen, and the brothers Wei Chi Jingde have rushed to Shangdang to take charge. The three counties of Yanmen, Taiyuan and Shangdang have now been connected together, backed by Taihang Mountain, and firmly in our hands. However, the seven counties of Dingxiang, Mayi, Loufu, Lishi, Longquan, Linfen, Xihe, Hedong, and North have all fallen into the hands of those four families. ”

The Wang family holds five counties in the east and west of Hedong, and now Liu Wuzhou and others have occupied seven counties, although the Hebei army has successfully eliminated the Li family with a conspiracy, and now occupies Taiyuan, an important town in Hedong, and Shangdang. However, with the addition of Yanmen, the Hebei Army only accounted for three of the fifteen counties in Hedong. Among the three forces in Hedong, on the contrary, it suddenly occupies the weakest side.

Feng Wan was also a little surprised by such a change in the situation in Hedong, and was a little surprised that the Hebei army had used the local power in Hedong to deal with the Li family, so that Hedong was in chaos, so that the Hebei army could pull out. That plan is a good plan, but no one thought that although the Li family was defeated, the Quartet of Hedong and Longshang did not fight each other, but at present, Chen Kefu had just won the battle of the Central Plains, and was about to fully occupy the Central Plains and prepare to ascend the throne and claim the emperor.

Looking at the annoyed Chen Kefu, Feng Wan also understood his anger just now. According to Chen Kefu's plan, he is preparing to hold Yang Gao's Zen throne and his enthronement ceremony in Luoyang. Now that the situation in Hedong is in chaos, his plan is also chaotic, how can he not be annoyed. (To be continued......)
