Chapter 80: The Storm in the Imperial City (3)

Northeast side of Chaoyang Street, Jijing, Wenjiazhai Street, Wenfu

Stepping over the body of a Jinyi guard who was unconscious on the ground, Prince Li Wei stretched out his hand and pushed open the door in front of him, looking at Wen Qin who was bound by ropes in the room with a smile.

"Yo, Ziyuan, what an embarrassment!"

"Too ...... His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? Why are you here? Looking at the crown prince Li Wei with wide eyes, Wen Qin's eyes were full of astonishment and shame.

personally untied the rope on Wen Qin's body and helped him up, the crown prince Li Wei patted him on the shoulder, and sighed melancholy, "This prince has been trapped for several days, but he has not seen his confidant come to the rescue, so this prince will be zhidào, and Ziyuan is probably also plotted by my younger brother......"

"......" Wen Qin opened his mouth when he heard this, and suddenly, he seemed to think of shime, and said eagerly, "His Royal Highness the Prince, it turns out that my second uncle and His Royal Highness Cheng have already planned to leave His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and help His Royal Highness Cheng ascend the throne......"

"Huh?" Prince Li Wei was slightly stunned, and asked curiously, "Ziyuan knows the specifics?" ”

Wen Qin nodded and said, "The night before yesterday, after the second uncle and the elders of the family ordered the clansmen to tie me up with ropes, they have confessed this matter...... His Royal Highness Cheng's move is clearly to use His Royal Highness the Crown Prince as a stepping stone to ascend to the throne."" Novel chapters are updated the fastest.? br/>

"Yes......" Prince Li Wei's face was even more bitter.

Seeing that the crown prince Li Wei was indifferent, Wen Qin said eagerly, "Your Royal Highness the Prince, I heard it really in the house just now, the Jizhou army has entered the city, if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince delays any longer, I am afraid that he will not be able to wash away the sin of rebellion on his body!" ”

Hearing this, Prince Li Wei nodded, and seeing Wen Qin's eager expression, he smiled and said, "This prince Zhidào, isn't this coming to save you personally?" You are not only the first favorite general of the crown prince, but also the commander of the Northern Army. This prince needs you to control the Northern Army! ”

Wen Qin was stunned when he heard this, fǎngfo heard the deep meaning of the prince Li Wei's words, a trace of determination flashed in his eyes, and he clenched his fists and said, "The last general will obey the order!" ”

And just then, an impatient female voice came from outside the bedroom.

"Are your master and servant finished? I don't know that the Jizhou army has entered the city? ”

Wen Qin was shocked. Subconsciously turned his head and was shocked to find that Jin Ling'er was leaning at the door, looking at them coldly.

"Jin Ling'er?" Standing up abruptly to protect the crown prince Li Wei behind him, Wen Qin said with a vigilant look on his face, "Are you doing shime here?" ”

It's no wonder Wen Qin was so shocked, in his opinion, Jin Ling'er's actions a few days ago were obviously abandoning the crown prince Li Wei and joining the fifth prince Li Cheng. Of course, he didn't qingchu Jin Ling'er was just a rat trap at that time, subject to the fifth prince Li Cheng.

Glancing at Wen Qin, who was full of vigilance, Jin Ling'er clinged to the door with her arms crossed, and said coldly, "I just remember to protect the Lord now, don't you think it's too late?" If the old lady had wanted to kill him, he would have died! Speaking of this, she turned her head to look at Li Wei. He said impatiently, "Li Wei." The old lady doesn't have much time to watch your master and servant talk nonsense, aren't you going to the palace? ”

"Heh, that's what I said......" Prince Li Wei chuckled, patted Wen Qin on the shoulder, looked at Jin Ling'er and whispered, "Ziyuan." This woman is on the same path as me for the time being...... If it weren't for her guard, I'm afraid this prince wouldn't have been able to come to your mansion...... Okay, leave this matter aside for the time being, and you go to the palace with the prince! ”

Frowning and glancing at Jin Ling'er, Wen Qin nodded. Clenched his fists and said, "Yes, His Royal Highness the Prince!" ”

Following the prince Li Wei and Jin Ling'er out of the bedroom, he saw many Beizhen Fusi Jinyi guards in the inner courtyard, Wen Qin was secretly speechless in his heart, because he found that these Jinyi guards were put down without realizing it, so his face did not show any different color, and he was very calm, which made him even more jealous of Jin Ling'er's ability. But fǎngfo is childish, and there is no power to fight back, and even this woman is difficult to notice when she is close to her.

"Look at shime?" As if sensing Wen Qin's secret look at Ziji's actions, Jin Ling'er frowned and said coldly, "The old lady is in a bad mood right now, it's best not to mess with the old lady!" ”

Thinking about it, being locked up by the fifth prince Li Cheng on the fifth or sixth day, suffering from hunger and cold, how can Jin Ling'er be in a good mood now? If she hadn't been moved by the seductive exchange of the crown prince Li Wei, I'm afraid she would have killed Li Wei to vent her anger a long time ago.

Glancing at Jin Ling'er with a complicated expression, Wen Qin escorted the crown prince Li Wei to leave the Wen Mansion and came to Chaoyang Street outside the mansion, and at this time, the streets in the distance of Jijing were already noisy, and faintly, even Nénggou heard the movement of countless war horses galloping.

Seeing this, Wen Qin was shocked and said in disbelief, "Why did the Jizhou army come so fast? Even if he can deceive the soldiers of the City Defense Division of the Weiwei Temple, but ......" Speaking of this, he looked around and said with a strange expression, "Qiguài, why don't you see the guards of the Patrol Division of the Weiwei Temple?" Didn't those guys notice what was going on in the city? ”

"......" Prince Li Wei subconsciously sighed when he heard this, and said with a wry smile, "Didn't Ziyuan think that Xun was true and didn't notice about it?" He's just watching the two tigers fight! Alas, it was really expected by the prince of Ben ......" Speaking of this, he suddenly came to his senses, glanced at Jin Ling'er, and swallowed the unfinished words.

It is no wonder that in the eyes of the crown prince Li Wei, Jin Ling'er is no longer a ziji person at the moment, at best she is just a transaction object, so the prince Li Wei categorically did not dare to tell this woman frankly about the current state of affairs.

In the eyes of the crown prince Li Wei, Xun Zheng, as a guard Siqing, is responsible for the security of Jijing City, and it stands to reason that he will not stand by and watch such changes happen in Jijing, and the only thing is that he deliberately turns a blind eye.

Weiwei Temple did not come forward, and the Eastern Army did not move, what does such an abnormal state of affairs mean Shime, the crown prince Li Wei naturally qingchu in his heart, bijing he had warned the fifth prince Li Cheng a few days ago.

Sure, you're too eager for quick success......

You can zhidào, even if you calculate your brother, you are just marrying someone else!

Thinking of this, the crown prince Li Wei took a sharp breath and said in a deep voice, "Let's go, go to the palace!" ”

Wen Qin was stunned when he heard this. Stunned, he asked, "Isn't His Royal Highness the Crown Prince waiting for the Jizhou Army here?" ”

fǎngfo guessed what Wen Qin was thinking, and the crown prince Li Wei shook his head and said in a deep voice, "Cheng Duo probably pretended to be in my name and transferred the Jizhou army into the city to force the palace. Therefore, after the Jizhou army enters the city, it will definitely disperse its troops and horses and control the whole city...... Jijing is so big, where will Prince Ben go to find Xin Ming and Dong Yao? If you rush to the palace first, anyway, Xin Ming and Dong Yao will eventually meet at Zhengyangmen! ”

Hearing this, Wen Qin suddenly realized, pángbiān. Jin Ling'er was really surprised to see that the crown prince Li Wei could calmly make an analysis under such circumstances.

And in fact, in addition to the fact that the crown prince Li Wei is not very commendable in his own strength, his talent is not bad, otherwise, how could Li Ji, the son of the Great Zhou Dynasty, ask him to stay on the prince for so long?

About half an hour later, when the crown prince Li Wei, Wen Qin, and Jin Ling'er hurried to Zhengyangmen, the street in front of Zhengyangmen was already overcrowded. The entire street was full of Jizhou soldiers in armor.

I don't know what kind of general orders these Jizhou soldiers are pursuing. The central army of the dignified Beijing Division, but now fǎngfo has become a bandit, breaking into various deep courtyard mansions in gangs, and slaughtering all the people in the mansions, so that the entire Jijing is in chaos, and there are sounds of fighting everywhere. Faintly, you can even hear the cries for help from some DPRK and Chinese officials.

"Come on...... Come on, the Jizhou army has rebelled, the Jizhou army has rebelled! ”

I don't know if it was caused by this shout, and the confusion in the capital became more and more chaotic.

But the children of the family in the courtyard of the deep house. One by one, they held weapons and defended their families, and even, there were some civil and military generals who had the right to [open the mansion], leading as many as three hundred, or as few as dozens of generals and soldiers, to attack the Jizhou army near their mansions, which made the chaos in the capital of Jijing suddenly rise several times, and it was as chaotic as a battlefield.

And the resistance in the capital of Jizhou also aroused the bloody nature of the Jizhou soldiers, making these well-trained elite soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty even more murderous, and even a group of people actually killed the prince Li Wei and the other three.

It's no wonder that the Jizhou soldiers in Bijing don't know the identities of the prince Li Wei and others, and because of this, Wen Qin didn't have time to explain to them, and he killed a cadre of Jizhou soldiers who attacked the prince Li Wei with a knife.

To zhidào, although Wen Qin's martial arts are far inferior to Liangqiu Dance, in this Jijing, he is also in the top ten, how can a mere soldier be his opponent? As for Jin Ling'er, it is needless to say that it was obviously more than 30 Jizhou soldiers who besieged this woman, but after a blink of an eye, those soldiers had been removed by the woman one by one, fell to the ground and cried and howled.

"His Royal Highness Cheng is so ruthless!" Protecting the crown prince Li Wei behind him, Wen Qin frowned and glanced at the chaotic street in the distance, gritted his teeth and said.

"......" Prince Li Wei was silent when he heard this, and he wanted to express the meaning of shime.

The Jizhou Army, which was the most elite Central Army of the Great Zhou, how could it be easy to mutiny?

It is not difficult to guess that it was the fifth prince Li Cheng who pretended to be in the name of the crown prince Li Wei to give instructions to the 30,000 Jizhou army commanders, the former general Xin Ming, and the chariot general Dong Yao, ordering them to lead the army to create chaos in the capital of Jizhou.

With the brotherly affection of the fifth prince Li Cheng and the crown prince Li Wei, how could Xin Ming and Dong Yao doubt it? I am afraid that the second general still thinks that the crown prince Li Wei wants to force the palace to usurp the throne, but they don't know that they are doing this, but they put the prince Li Wei on the fire to roast, and the crown prince Li Wei is guilty of treason.

Now the Jizhou army in the capital of Jijing is like a rebel, and it is undoubtedly the object of everyone's punishment, and this is the result that the fifth prince Li Cheng wants.

I have to say that it is not difficult to get through this layer with the experience of the crown prince Li Wei, but the bitterness after thinking about mingbái makes him a little unbearable.

Bijing, betrayed and calculated by Ziji's younger brother who has always loved him, this is a great blow to the crown prince Li Wei.

I don't know how long later, the crown prince Li Wei came to the Zhengyang Gate under the escort of Wen Qin and Jin Ling'er, although the night was dark, but he still saw his younger brother who was standing on the tower of the Zhengyang Gate and looking down on the street scene, the fifth prince Li Cheng.

"Acceptance!" The crown prince Li Wei yelled in the direction of the Zhengyang Gate Tower, don't look at him as pampered and pampered on weekdays, but that deep roar overshadowed the sound of fighting here.

"......" On the top of the Zhengyangmen Tower, the face of the fifth prince Li Cheng changed slightly.

Early on, when the fifth prince Li Cheng learned that dozens of Beizhen Fusi Jinyi guards sent by Ziji to capture his brother Li Wei, the crown prince, had inexplicably fallen on his own house, Li Cheng Zhidào, Ziji's brother probably took the opportunity to escape, but what he never thought of was that his brother had come to the center of the Jijing Rebellion tonight. Zhengyangmen.

Looking at his younger brother Li Cheng on the top of the city tower, the crown prince Li Wei took a deep breath and shouted loudly, "Cheng, if you still recognize me as an elder brother, open the city gate quickly." My brother will lead the Northern Army to quell the matter......"

However, no matter how the crown prince Li Wei shouted, Li Cheng on the upper floor of Zhengyangmen City did not respond, seeing this, the prince Li Wei was anxious.

And at this moment, only to hear the sound of horses' hooves, a general rode a horse to the crown prince Li Wei not far away, his face was stunned, and then his eyes showed a little surprise. Turned over and dismounted, clenched his fists and said, "His Royal Highness the Prince, the last general and Xin Ming have controlled the situation in the whole city!" It is not difficult to guess that this person is one of the main generals who led the Jizhou army into the city this time, Dong Yao, the general of the cavalry.

On weekdays, the crown prince Li Wei would most likely slash his head and cover his face and reprimand this Dong Yao fiercely, but right now. He was in this mood and looked up at the Zhengyangmen Tower. He said in a deep voice, "Quickly give an order, and tell all the officers and soldiers of the Jizhou Army not to kill senselessly!" The whole army is receiving! ”

"Huh?" Dong Yao, who was going to invite merit, thought that the crown prince Li Wei actually asked them to order the whole army to collect troops, his face was stunned, and he said strangely, "His Royal Highness the prince." We have already controlled the whole city, why don't we take advantage of the situation to enter the palace? ”

That younger brother of Prince Ben is stupid, you are stupider than him!

Didn't you notice that the Weiwei Temple and the Eastern Army have not moved so far?

Glaring at Dong Yao fiercely, Prince Li Wei said in a deep voice, "Do as the prince says!" ”

“…… Be! Dong Yao nodded his head. did not dare to disobey, and immediately ordered Zuoyou to issue the order of Prince Li Wei to the whole army, although this order may make many Jizhou army officers and soldiers inexplicable.

Due to Dong Yao's timely arrival, the fighting outside the Zhengyang Gate gradually subsided, and many of the military generals of Jijing who led the soldiers to come to the palace gate to escort the military generals of Jijing looked at the Jizhou army in front of them with a look of astonishment.

However, at this time, the crown prince Li Wei obviously didn't care about explaining this matter to those courtiers, only to see him looking deeply at his younger brother Li Cheng on the upper floor of Zhengyangmen City, and shouted in a deep voice, "Take advantage of this matter to the point of no return...... Stop it, take it! Listen to my brother and end this farce......"

As soon as the words fell, a sneer from the fifth prince Li Cheng came from Zhengyangmen.

"Farce? Does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince see it that way? ”

Prince...... Your Highness?

Seeing that Ziji's own brother actually called Ziji by this title, Prince Li Wei's eyes showed unprecedented anger, even if he was restrained by the brocade guard next to Li Cheng a few days ago, he had never been so angry now.

"Accept, give me down! If you are reckless, my brother will personally lead the army to attack the city tower! Prince Li Wei roared angrily.

Maybe it was because he had been under the protection of his brother for too long, so seeing that the crown prince Li Wei showed such an unprecedented anger, the fifth prince Li Cheng instinctively felt fearful, and his eyes showed a little panic.

At this moment, there was a thunderous footstep in the direction of Dongzhimen, and then, an army of unknown numbers poured from Dongzhi Street to Zhengyangmen.

I saw that the soldiers of this army were all wearing ink-colored leather armor and leather helmets, holding steel knives, with light steps and fast marching.

This is one of the soldiers and horses of the four towns of Jijing, the Western Army with the same name as the Eastern Army [Shenwu], the Southern Army [Trapping], and the Northern Army [Beiwei], and the [Relief of Trouble] Army!

"Western Army? Why is the Western Army here? ”

"Isn't the Western Army still suppressing bandits in Mount Tai?"

As soon as Shijiān, the faces of everyone outside Zhengyang Gate changed greatly, whether it was the soldiers of the Jizhou Army or the officials in the Jijing City, they looked at the Western Army that quietly returned to the city, and their faces were shocked, and even the eyes of the crown prince Li Wei were a little stunned.

Perhaps it was the arrival of the Western Army that boosted the confidence of the fifth prince Li Cheng, but he sneered and said, "It's too late, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ......"

"......" Listening to the extremely unpleasant title, the crown prince Li Wei didn't care to express the displeasure in his heart at the moment, and looked at the western army that fell from the sky in shock.

It turned out to be the Western Army?

The crown prince Li Wei originally thought that Ziji's younger brother Li Cheng was just holding the Northern Army [Beiwei] controlled by Wen Song, the elder of the Wen family, but he never thought that Li Cheng would secretly invite the Western Army back......

The Northern Army [Back] plus the Western Army [Relieve Trouble]......

Rao is crown prince Li Wei, also gǎnjiào cold sweat broke out in his head, raised his head, and shouted in an almost pleading tone, "Cheng, don't make a big deal about this matter, otherwise my brother won't be able to protect you......"

"Protect me?" Li Cheng, who was beaming with pride, was furious when he heard this, a trace of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes, he gritted his teeth, and resolutely shouted, "Li Wei, as the crown prince, actually led an army to attack the city, intending to force the palace, this is a crime of treason and usurpation, the crime cannot be forgiven, and everyone will be punished!" The Western Army listens to the order and exterminates the rebellious thief army! ”

As soon as the words fell, countless soldiers of the Western Army suddenly launched a fierce offensive against the Jizhou Army beside the prince Li Wei, and I have to say that although the Western Army [Xie Fu] has the lowest reputation among the four towns, the quality and strength of the soldiers of the army are far better than those of the Jizhou Army.

Li Wei, the crown prince of the same country, had ordered the whole army to stop fighting, so that in one shot, the Jizhou army was defeated and retreated by the western army, and it was defeated.

"That idiot!" Unprecedentedly, the crown prince Li Wei scolded Ziji's younger brother, and then, after thinking about it, he shouted in a deep voice, "Wen Qin! ”

"What does Your Highness command?" Wen Qin clenched his fists.

Putting his arm around Wen Qin's shoulder, Prince Li Wei lowered his voice and said, "Weiwei Temple and the Eastern Army have not moved so far, obviously they want to reap the benefits!" Wen Qin, at the moment, the prince can only rely on you, find a way to open this Zhengyang gate for the prince! ”

"......" fǎngfo heard the deep meaning of the prince Li Wei's words, Wen Qin's face was slightly startled, his eyes showed a little hesitation, and after thinking about looking at the prince Li Wei for a while, he suddenly nodded resolutely.

"Yes, Your Highness!"
