"On the orders of the crown prince, kill Li Xin, Qingjun side!"

After the explosion again, there were shouts to kill Li Xin, followed by a group of black-clad soldiers who pounced out like locusts from the nearby alley.

The Three Guards around Li Xin only had more than a dozen people, and it was not suitable to fight hard if they were outnumbered. At this time, he was secretly glad that he had to come on horseback, if he had taken the chariot, he was afraid that he would have been blown into a mess long ago, and looking at Qin Gui, who was blurred in flesh and blood, would be the end.

"Marquis Zhen, return to the army immediately, and don't continue to the Forbidden City!"

The other party shouted that Li Xin was killed on the orders of the crown prince, and the guard officers who were ordered to protect Li Xin did not dare to continue the adventure.

At this time, Li Xin's heart also rarely hesitated. According to common sense, Empress Zhou and him have the same interests, if the Three Guards are unlucky, there are Qing troops eyeing the outside, King Shen covets the throne inside, and loses the protection of Zhu Youzhen, the status of the mother and son will be in jeopardy.

Therefore, as long as you are not a fool, you have no choice but to stand firmly behind the Three Guards and resist the strong enemy at this time. Queen Zhou is a person, Li Xin doesn't feel like a messy person. However, I am afraid that the prince who has not been crowned in time will destroy the Great Wall by himself.

Boom Boom!

Another burst of blossoming thunder was thrown, exploding less than ten steps away from Li Xin, and the huge wave of air brought up layers of fine sand and gravel, hitting his face like a pinprick and hurting.

"Fight your way out and return to the army!"

The nine gates of Beijing are all under the control of the Three Guards, and now that the enemy situation is unknown, they can only return to the army first, and then investigate the matter clearly in order to deal with it.

Fortunately, those black-clothed armor soldiers are all foot soldiers, and the impact of more than a dozen war horses is not small, as long as they can rush through them in one go, there is still a great hope that they will retreat.

"Li Xin is dead, there is no point in waiting for stubborn resistance, and you don't want to be arrested?"

Surprisingly, the other party did not take advantage of the situation to cover up, but stopped thirty steps away and shouted from afar.

Even if someone in the Three Guards wanted to refute the theory that Li Xin was dead, they were stopped by Li Xin.

Just let the other person think they're dead, but see what else they do!

At the time of the stalemate, the shouts of killing suddenly broke out, and another group of people rushed from the direction of Donghua Gate.

……

"Your Highness, the big thing is not good, there are rebellious soldiers outside, say yes, say that it is the Marquis of Zhenyu who was killed outside the Donghua Gate and was blown up alive!"

The eunuch Zhao Xing lay in front of Queen Zhou, and even his voice was hoarse and deformed from extreme fear.

However, Empress Zhou's reaction was no better than Zhao Xing's, her hands trembled, and the zhu pen fell off the paper without asking, and the vermilion ink made a shocking stroke on the note.

"Say it again, what's wrong with the Marquis?"

Zhao Xingru mourned.

"The Marquis of Zhen, the Marquis of Zhenyu, he was killed! Not only did the Hou capture the Hou, but even Qin Gui, Qin Gui was also killed in the chaos! ”

Qin Gui and Zhao Xing were both close eunuchs of Empress Zhou, and since the Son of Heaven fell ill, they gradually replaced Wang Chengen's position in the celebrant eunuch.

And after Queen Zhou confirmed that she had heard correctly, she suddenly felt that the sky had fallen. After her husband suffered a stroke and became a waste, she has never been as afraid and desperate as she is now.

Palace change! This word, which was both familiar and unfamiliar to her, popped up in an instant.

"How, how is this good?"

Queen Zhou suddenly got up from the warm kang, circled around like a headless fly in the warm pavilion, and muttered intermittently:

"Who are the troublemakers? Where is Cheng Guogong? Where are the ministers? ”

Three questions in a row, where could Zhao Xing answer, he only lay at the feet of Queen Zhou and wept and wept, trembling, just a few days of spring breeze and triumphant, I didn't want to be a big disaster and blink an eye.

"Slave, slave no, I don't know!"

Empress Zhou, who had lost her disgrace, also lost her former dignified elegance, and scolded sharply in a sharp voice: "Don't look for it yet?" Do you just know that crying here is waiting for death? ”

Zhao Xing promised to turn around and leave.

"Wait!"

Empress Zhou suddenly remembered the crown prince again.

"Prince, where is the prince now?"

Zhao Xing's body trembled and replied:

"Prince, the prince is still in the Duanjing Palace......"

"Let's go, let's go to the Duanjing Hall first!"

After calming down a little, Empress Zhou realized that the first priority at the moment was to protect the prince's safety, and if she lost the prince, she would have nothing.

……

The sky turned from bright to dark, and the cabinet hall was brightly lit, Wei Zaode stretched his waist, sighed in his mouth, and glanced at Liu Yuliang, who was closing his eyes and recuperating, with a trace of disdain in his eyes.

Faintly, there seemed to be a burst of muffled thunder, Wei Zaode thought it was going to rain, came to the window and pushed the window open, but saw that the sky was getting brighter, the moon was bright and the stars were sparse, where was there a half-minute thunderstorm coming? Besides, it's the middle of winter, where is it going to rain?

Wei Zaode shook his head and smiled, his intuition was that the war had been tense in the past few days, and he was too nervous, and he had hallucinations.

Suddenly, there was a series of muffled thunderbolts coming in clearly, and this time he was sure that he had heard correctly.

"Elder Liu Ge, Elder Liu Ge, listen quickly, is it thunder?"

However, Liu Yuliang still closed his eyes and replied unhurriedly: "That's not a dull thunder, it's a flowering thunder in the army!" ”

"What, what? Blossom mines in the army? ”

Wei Zaode was standing in time, he had never seen a battle of swords, and as soon as he heard that it was a flowering thunder in the army, his face and breathing suddenly became doubly difficult. But he also knows that Liu Yuliang has the reputation of knowing soldiers among the ministers, although he also made a mistake in military affairs, and his career collapsed, but Chongzhen comforted Gao Yang alone in the eleventh year, and participated in the war against the Eastern Captives in Liaoxi in the twelfth year of Chongzhen, which time was not nine deaths?

Therefore, even if Wei Zaode looks down on Liu Yuliang again, he is convinced of the theory of blossoming thunder.

"Could it be, could it be that the city has been broken?"

Liu Yuliang shook his head.

"The old man will not know the prophet, send someone to investigate, and you will know!"

Wei Zaode slapped his head and said as if he was waking up from a dream:

"Exactly, exactly, as it should be!"

However, the people sent out returned in a short time, and Wei Zaode was greatly surprised.

"How do you get back in a few moments? Can you find out clearly? ”

"The two elders, the lower officials were stopped as soon as they arrived at the Donghua Gate, and Cheng Guogong has already ordered that all gates of the imperial city are not allowed to enter and exit, as for what happened outside, the forbidden army refused to say, and the lower officials didn't know!"

Hearing this, Wei Zaode suddenly felt like he was struck by lightning, and his whole person froze on the Taishi's chair.

"This, this, what's going on?"

Liu Yuliang suddenly got up from the Taishi chair, stared at the hall official who inquired about the news, and asked:

"Is it the order of the Duke of Chengguo, or the order of Her Royal Highness the Queen!"

"The forbidden army guarding Donghua Gate said that it was Chengguo Gong, but whether it was ordered by Empress Zhou to Cheng Guogong, the lower officials really don't know."

As he spoke, the hall official looked at Liu Yuliang suspiciously.
