At present, Chang'an has a total of 40,000 defenders, including 20,000 each of Yulin Army and Jin Wuwei! Jin Wuwei is responsible for the outer city and the city gates, peacetime to maintain order, wartime defense of the city, while the Yulin army is to defend the imperial city and the palace city, in the last winter after Yang Yuanqing led the army to attack Chang'an, the defense of the palace city and the imperial city have become extremely tight.

However, the Yulin Army is only responsible for the periphery of the palace, including the city wall gate of a section of the palace, but the inner palace is not under the jurisdiction of the Yulin Army, and is responsible for the security of Qianniu Beishen, and the station of the Yulin Army is the forbidden garden in the north of the palace, which was once burned down by Yang Yuanqing and the military camp and official office, and was later rebuilt.

At this time, the general of the Yulin Army, Changsun Shunde, was in his official office, and the eldest grandson Shunde was the younger brother of Changsun Sheng, one of the representatives of the Changsun family, loyal to Li Yuan, and also won Li Yuan's trust, and named him the general of the Yulin Army.

Although Yang Yuanqing almost broke through the palace at the end of last year, and the eldest grandson Shunde was derelict in his duties, Li Yuan did not treat him for his crimes, and still trusted him, which made the eldest grandson Shunde ashamed and grateful, more conscientious, conscientious, and did not dare to have the slightest ...... Idle.

Recently, the contradiction between the prince and the king of Qi has gradually deepened, and it has reached the level of life and death, and the eldest grandson Shunde, who is in charge of the 20,000 Yulin army, has become more and more important.

Although Li Yuan's will was for him to obey the orders of the King of Qi, Li Jiancheng was benevolent and generous, but Li Wuji was fierce and cruel, and emotionally he was biased towards the crown prince Li Jiancheng, but the holy will was difficult to violate, so he had to obey the orders of the King of Qi.

Not long ago, Li Jiancheng hoped that he could send troops to protect the East Palace, and the eldest grandson Shunde thought that this was his duty, so he ignored Li Wuji's opposition and sent three thousand Yulin troops to guard the East Palace.

In the past two days, the eldest grandson Shunde got a tiller report from his subordinates, Yang Yanqing, the lieutenant general of the left army of the Yulin Army, and the king of Qi had several secret contacts, and the exchanges were frequent, and the eldest grandson Shunde became suspicious, Yang Yanqing was the brother of the princess of Qi, it would not be because the king of Qi could not win over his loyalty, and he would instead win over his subordinates!

Yang Yanqing has 2,000 people under his command, responsible for the defense of Xuanwu Gate, power and responsibility are extremely important, due to the defeat of the King of Qin, the day of the King of Qi's attack is getting closer and closer, and the eldest grandson Shunde's heart is a little worried.

The eldest grandson Shunde was sitting in the room reading a book, and at this time, there was a personal guard tiller in the door well: "General, Chai and Ma have urgent matters to see." ”

The eldest grandson Shunde was stunned in his heart, did something happen? He immediately ordered: "Please come in!" ”

After a while, Chai Shao hurriedly walked into the room and said sadly: "General Changsun, the Holy ...... Crashed! ”

The eldest grandson Shunde was stunned, and the words came out of Chai Shao's mouth, there would be no fake, and he immediately knelt down on his knees...... Crying loudly, "Your Majesty! ”

Chai Shao hurriedly grabbed him, held back his grief and said: "General, now is not the time to cry, the situation is critical now, the prince is about to be killed, His Royal Highness the prince asks the general for help!" ”

The eldest grandson, Shunde, wiped away his tears and nodded, "I know, I will do my best to protect the safety of the prince, once the saint is gone, the prince is the new monarch, and I should be loyal to him." ”

This is his promise to Li Jiancheng, once Li Yuan dies, Li Jiancheng will naturally succeed to the throne, he will be loyal to Li Jiancheng, and Li Yuan's order to him will be invalid, since he has promised, he will naturally keep his promise.

Chai Shao hurriedly took out a jade talisman from Li Jiancheng's bosom and handed it to Changsun Shunde, "If General Changsun is willing to be loyal to the new monarch, please accept this order!" ”

The eldest grandson Shunde took the jade talisman order, put it on the table, knelt down on his knees, and kowtowed respectfully three times, "The minister Sun Shunde is willing to be loyal to the new monarch and will never give up!" ”

Chai Shao was overjoyed in his heart, the eldest grandson was willing to be loyal, then they could do a great deal, he hurriedly whispered: "Now His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants to enter the palace to deal with the aftermath for the Holy Lord, but we have received information that the King of Qi has set up an ambush in the Xuanwu Gate in an attempt to harm the Prince, and the Prince hopes that the General can assist us in eradicating the conspiracy of the King of Qi." ”

The eldest grandson Shunde understood what Li Jiancheng meant, he groaned for a moment and nodded, "Since I am loyal to the new monarch, I should share his worries and solve problems." ”

……

The palace is guarded by 3,000 guards, the head of the palace guards is the clan Li Daozong, he was named the prince of Luoyang County, Li Yuan served as Zuo Qianniu after ascending the throne, and is now the general of Qianniuwei, in charge of 3,000 guards.

Li Daozong is the same age as Li Wuji, just about twenty years old, the two grew up together since childhood, and the relationship is extremely close.

The Lang general who guarded the Xuanwu Gate was called Yang Yanqing, the elder brother of the princess of Qi, and he also provided convenience for Li Wuji, he not only allowed Li Wuji to lead the brave to enter the Xuanwu Gate, but at the same time, after the prince entered the Xuanwu Gate, he would close the Xuanwu Gate in time to block the support of the Yulin Army.

But whether it was Li Daozong and Qianniu's guards or Yang Yanqing's Yulin Army, they all made it clear that they would not participate in the ambush of the prince, after all, it was the prince of the Tang Dynasty, and he couldn't bear this pressure.

At this time, in the Xuanwu Gate, more than 400 elite warriors have been ambushed, these 400 people are selected from 3,000 warriors, all of them are burly, the armed forces are strong, led by Li Wuji himself, Zhu Wei and Li Deren are moving left and right

Li Wuji has been waiting for this day for a long time, since the day his father ascended the throne, he also longed in his heart that he would be able to sit on that high seat one day and become the supreme of the ninety-five in the world, but he knew in his heart that this seat would not be his turn, there was an eldest brother and a second brother, and he was at most the king of a country, such as the king of Shu and the king of Jin.

But just when he was still worried about the battle of Hanzhong, the opportunity quietly came, the eldest brother and the second brother both concealed the truth about his father's poisoning, he seized this opportunity and told his father the emperor, so that he got the richest reward and mastered the 40,000 troops in the capital.

The seed in Li Wuji's heart began to germinate and grow wildly, at this time Li Wuji had completely lost his mind in his heart, desperate, just like the woman he had played, he didn't want to have it for a long time, he just wanted to get this woman's body, he just wanted to possess her, and then change to a new person.

This throne is the same, he just wants to get, he just wants to taste what it is like to be an emperor, as for how long the country can sit firmly, he never cares, with the defeat of King Qin, Li Wuji has become even more crazy, he knows that time is running out, and if he doesn't start, he will have no chance.

At this time, Yang Rong stepped forward quietly and said in a low voice: "Your Highness, the news from the East Palace, the prince has come out and is coming to Xuanwu Gate!" ”

Li Wuji nodded, both smug and nervous in his heart, he swallowed his saliva, and the knife in his hand squeezed tighter......

……

Li Jiancheng's car slowly drove out of the apse gate of the East Palace, entered the forbidden garden, and turned to the Xuanwu Gate, nearly three hundred guards guarded the car left and right, Xue Wanjun and Luo Cheng were on both sides of the carriage, and the curtains were pulled up from time to time, revealing Li Jiancheng's pale and slender face.

About a quarter of an hour later, the carriage arrived outside the Xuanwu Gate, and Xue Wanjun shouted loudly: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants to enter the palace, please open the palace gate quickly!" ”

In a moment, the Xuanwu Gate slowly opened, and in the dark, three hundred guards in full armor protected Li Jiancheng's carriage and entered the palace, driving forward unhurriedly.

Li Jiancheng's carriage didn't seem to find any accidents, and continued to drive forward, at this time the gate of Xuanwu Gate slowly closed again, and one appeared on the head of the city, looking at the carriage coldly with his hands moving forward, this person was the prince Li Jiancheng, and the person in the carriage was just a guard who looked a little like him, and it was difficult to distinguish the real from the fake when he watched from a distance at night.

Next to Li Jiancheng, Sun Shunde, the general of Yulin, also walked out, he shook his head and sighed: "He's crazy!" ”

Li Jiancheng snorted lightly, "A person who has fallen into the devil for the throne, he wants to kill himself, and he can't complain about me." ”

In the woods next to the Linhu Palace, Li Wuji raised his bow and arrows and aimed at the carriage, at this time, the carriage curtain opened, revealing Li Jiancheng's face, Li Wuji's eyes narrowed into a slit, and as soon as the bowstring was loosened, a wolf's tooth arrow shot out quickly, and the powerful arrow shot straight at the carriage window, 'Click! With a bang, a shield appeared in the window of the car, and arrows shot at the shield, which made Li Wuji slightly stunned, and a bad feeling surged in his heart.

But Li Wuji's arrow was an order, and suddenly shouted and killed, four hundred brave men killed from both sides, accompanied by countless arrows, Luo Cheng and Xue Wanjun were already prepared, they raised their shields accordingly, waved their spears and shouted: "There are assassins!" ”

The three hundred guards of the East Palace raised their shields and spears to meet the battle, and the two sides instantly scuffled in one place, at this time Zhu Yu led dozens of people to fight into the encirclement, rushed straight to the carriage, and smashed the door open with a copper hammer, he was stunned for a moment, it was empty, "No person, where did the prince in the car go just now?"

As soon as he turned around, he suddenly saw the prince just now, who was also fighting fiercely with Xiao Yong, this prince was wearing guard armor, holding a spear in his hand, strong in martial arts, tall and burly, except that he looked a little like the prince, the others were not at all.

Zhu Wei had a bang in his head, knowing that he had been fooled, he turned around and shouted: "His Royal Highness King Qi, we are fooled!" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, thousands of feather forest troops rushed out from the Linhu Hall and the Xuanwu Gate, shouting: "Kill the assassin!" ”

Hiding in the woods, Li Wuji was so frightened that he turned around and wanted to flee into the deep palace, but unexpectedly, a spear stabbed at him, he couldn't dodge, and the spear 'poof!' The ground pierced his chest' Li Wuji screamed, and the person in front of him he saw clearly turned out to be Yang Rong, Yang Rong smiled fiercely, "Your Highness, you can give me this credit!" ”

He drew his war knife and slashed at it, slashing Li Wuji's head to the ground.

Yang Rong picked up the head and shouted: "Li Wuji was killed by me!" ”

"Li Wuji was killed by me!"

But he couldn't shout a third time, a cold arrow came and hit him in the throat, this arrow pierced his neck, Yang Rong covered his neck violently, and then he saw dozens of steps away, Luo Cheng was holding an arrow in his hand and looking at him coldly.

Yang Rong's eyes were dark, and he fell from the carriage to the ground, and at the head of the city, Li Jiancheng gave an order, "If you don't leave any of them, kill them all!" ”
