At five o'clock in the ugly hour, in the brightly lit manna hall, Li Shimin was still playing chess with the eldest grandson Wuji who was not in the hall, the difference was that there were more big men in the spacious hall holding sticks and wearing tights, and there was an old monk with white eyebrows in monk's clothes lowering his eyes, sitting on the futon at the corner of the hall and closing his eyes to raise his spirit, while Wu Yin was respectfully standing beside the old monk, the hall was quiet, except for the occasional sound of chess pieces falling on the chessboard, there was no rest, all the people were silent, It was as if the fierce fighting inside and outside the palace did not exist.

"Your Majesty, a guest is coming." The white-eyed old monk who was meditating quietly raised his head suddenly, his long eyebrows trembled, and he said very peacefully, although the voice was not very loud, but when the powerful men in the hall heard it, they all straightened up, and their faces all showed a look of excitement.

"Oh? Is it coming? Li Shimin didn't raise his head from the chess game, but just responded flatly: "Then say hello, Wuyin, go and have a look." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." Wu Yin hurriedly stood up, replied respectfully, and led more than a dozen men in strong suits out of the gate of the Manna Palace.

The outside of the main hall was empty, not even a warrior holding Ge, Wu Yin and a dozen strong men went straight down the steps, and fought in several rows on the empty small square, after a long silence, Wu Yin frowned, looked at the low wall at the end of the square covered by flowers and trees, and said loudly: "Since your good friend is here, come out to see him, why hide and hide?" ”

"Hahaha......" A burst of unbridled laughter rang out, the figure flashed, and the seven black-clothed people had landed in the center of the small square, and a tall man with a long beard swept Wu Yin contemptuously and said: "Little monk, I haven't seen you for twenty years, and now you can be blind in five or six people, hehe, you can also find out the whereabouts of the old man?" Go and call your master out, so that the old thief will say that the old man is bullying the small with the big behind his back. ”

Wu Yin stood respectfully with his right hand in his left hand, and saluted: "Master Bian, I haven't seen you for a long time, the poor monk misses the donor very much, the donor only needs to pass the poor monk's level, and the family teacher will show up, and the eighteen arhat array!" As soon as the voice fell, I was afraid that the person in front of him would burst into trouble, and Wu retreated sharply because of his figure, and he had reached the side of the dozen or so big men in strong suits, but when he saw the figure flickering, the dozen or so big men took off their hats one after another, revealing a bare brain full of ring scars, and their bodies flickered, and they had already formed a formation, firmly guarding the entrance of the Manna Palace.

"Hmph, this kind of carving insect skills dare to come out, so many years have passed, how can the Shaolin Temple not grow at all, with the wind, a few of you will have fun with them, and you will be the son of today as a teacher." The tall man didn't care at all about the vigilance of the Shaolin monks, shook his head contemptuously, and walked forward casually, without looking at the so-called eighteen Arhat formations in the slightest.

"Presumptuous!" Wu Yin shouted violently, walked with the stick, whistling and swept to the man's waist, he moved, the seventeen Shaolin monks behind him immediately moved, more than a dozen wax sticks flew and danced, rolled up layers of stick shadows, rushed over, wave after wave, trying to involve the man in black into the stick array, but never thought that the man didn't care, the figure flashed and walked into the stick array, his hands were just backwards in this way, and suddenly he appeared behind the array, and he didn't look back on the steps in front of the Manna Palace, and walked straight to the palace, Wu Yin and the others hurriedly changed their formation, trying to rush forward and attack again, but the other six black-clothed masked people made a move at this time, but they saw six sword lights crossing, like lightning piercing the night sky, and quickly attacked the Shaolin monks.

"Everyone be careful, it's the Six Realms of Reincarnation." Wu Yin swept the six criss-crossing sword lights from the corner of his eyes, and was immediately taken aback, shouted, stopped the pursuit of the tall man, and half turned around, and the ash stick in his hand danced dozens of stick shadows, and met the sword formation that killed the general, and the remaining seventeen Shaolin monks moved with it, and the stick array and the sword array were immediately stirred together, and a dragon battle was staged in front of the Ganlu Palace......

Hou Guozhong? This kid is still the opposite at the bottom, alas, it's a pity! By the light of the moonlight, Li Zhen had already seen clearly who was sacred, and there was a sour feeling in his heart for no reason - although Li Zhen had long known that the interests of the family in this dynasty were much higher than the interests of the imperial court in the eyes of the children of the family, and he had already received the news that Hou Guozhong commanded the battle to attack Xuanwumen, but seeing Hou Guozhong appear here, Li Zhen still didn't feel very good in his heart, except that Hou Guozhong was his deputy, but also because Hou Guozhong was a loyal and upright person, now that he has rebelled, Then there is only the end of sinking with the Hou family, even if Li Zhen comes forward to gualate, he can't save his life, maybe letting Hou Guozhong die under his own gun can be regarded as giving him a decent end, so Li Zhen did not rush to take Hou Junji, but silently waited with a gun on the side.

"Father, go quickly, and the child will block His Royal Highness King Yue." Hou Guozhong led the two guards to come quickly, and Pegasus stopped between Li Zhen and Hou Junji, the spear in his hand hung on the ground, and he didn't look back and said a word. Hou Junji looked at Hou Guozhong's back, sighed, and Pegasus fled into the darkness and ran along the avenue outside the palace, but in a moment turned into the dark North Street and disappeared into the distance.

Li Zhen didn't chase Hou Junji, and didn't even have the slightest intention of making a move against Hou Guozhong, but just shook his head and said: "Brother Hou, what's the trouble, the world is big, and the Hou family is safe?" ”

Hou Guozhong smiled bitterly, did not answer immediately, but put the spear in his hand on the victory hook, stretched out his hand to trim the armor on his body, bowed to Li Zhen and hugged his fist and said: "Thank you Your Highness, as a son of man, you know that it is wrong but you have to do it, and you are ashamed of Your Highness's kindness. ”

"Okay, this king promises you." As soon as Li Zhen heard this, he knew that Hou Guozhong was planning to die, but he didn't say anything more, just frowned and said calmly.

"Your Highness Xie, well, the lower officials still have something to tell you, the west gate of the imperial city may have been lost, if Your Highness wants to go to the rescue, please hurry." Hou Guozhong's eyes showed a hint of gratitude, he respectfully saluted again, turned his horse back, took the spear from the victory hook, pointed the spear obliquely at the night sky, and bowed up, ready to launch a fierce attack at any time.

The west gate of the imperial city? Depend on! Damn, this makes sense, damn old monkey, this strategy of attacking the west is really powerful, dare to love all the actions are to cover the raid at the west gate, it seems that the one sent to the west gate is a master, if he breaks into the inner court, just take the old man, the old monkey may not have a chance to turn the tables! Li Zhen's mind moved quickly, and immediately guessed all the deployments of Hou Junji, although he had already guessed that there must be a related ambush around the old man, but after all, there were still some people who could not rest assured, but in the face of masters like Hou Guozhong, Li Zhen could only suppress the uneasiness in his heart, waved the bright silver gun in his hand, and urged the ** war horse, and took the lead in launching a sprint.

"Kill!" Seeing that Li Zhen had started to get up, Hou Guozhong shouted violently, and also waved the spear in his hand, and the tail of the gun hit the buttocks of the war horse, and the men and horses were united, and they quickly killed Li Zhen.

Closer, closer, the two sides were only separated by a distance of more than 40 meters, and this accelerated at the same time, the distance between each other was sharply shortened, 20 meters, 10 meters, 5 meters, and the two sides shot almost at the same time.

"Hah!"

"Kill!"

With two loud shouts, two spears stabbed out at the same time, and it turned out to be the same move - "Hundred Birds and Phoenix Spear"! But seeing dozens of spear flowers suddenly appeared, shining into a brilliant piece under the moonlight, even if the eagle and the eagle who were standing on the sidelines watching the battle were very eyesightly, they could not see the guns of the two sides of the hand, and could only see that the brilliant spear flowers bloomed and thanked and thanked, as for who won and who lost, it was completely impossible to judge.

Empty, all empty! As soon as the two sides fought, Li Zhen had already noticed that Hou Junji's brilliant shot was all false, and there was no real move, but Li Zhen did not leave his hand because of this, and the gun body turned over, and a gun shadow pierced Hou Guozhong's chest accurately through the bright gun flower, just a little light, it had penetrated the chest, and then drew the gun and rushed through Hou Guozhong's side, circled not far away, and returned to Hou Guozhong's side again, cheeky **, sighed and said: "Brother Hou go well, this king will try his best to protect one of his sons, and he will never let Brother Hou die." As soon as Li Zhen's words fell, Hou Guozhong, who was sitting upright on the horse, showed a gratifying smile on his face, his body shook a little, and he fell off the horse, and a general passed away!

"General, wait for so-and-so!"

"Ahh

When the two guards who followed Hou Guozhong saw that their master was dead, they screamed in grief, each drew a knife in his hand, looked at the neck, and fell off his horse with a bang, committing suicide to be martyred.

Alas, what a hassle it is! Seeing such a tragic scene, Li Zhen was helpless in addition to shaking his head and sighing, he looked at Hou Guozhong who fell to the ground, turned back to Ying Da and Ying Er and ordered: "Ying Da, Ying Er listens to the order, this Wang Linger and others immediately rush back to Chengtianmen, and inform Yan 18 to immediately bundle up all the captured thieves and place them in the square, and all the people who cross the palace will withdraw to the palace, there must be no mistake!" Although Ying Da and Ying Er didn't know what Li Zhen's move meant, they didn't dare to ask more, they each answered, and hurriedly rushed to Chengtianmen, Li Zhen took one last look at Hou Guozhong's corpse, shook his head, urged the war horse, and galloped towards the West Gate.

The west gate hole is open, except for a few lonely lanterns on the city gate tower are still lit, there is not even a figure, Li Zhen saw it, he knew that something was wrong, and he didn't stop the horse, and rushed straight in, but he just rushed into the palace gate not long ago, and he had to stop - the palace room next to the house, the road is tortuous, not to mention, and there are some small alleys like a labyrinth, although Li Zhen grew up in the palace since childhood, but has never been to the place where people live in the palace like the palace, how can he know the road, helpless, he had to abandon the horse, jumped on the roof, A few ups and downs, flying between the houses, quickly rushed in the direction of the Qianhua Gate.

At this moment, the battlefields outside the palace have been calmed down, and the reinforcements who received the order are rushing to the Qianhua Gate from all directions, but because of the distance, they have not yet rushed to the Qianhua Gate, so the battle here is still fierce - although the "black-clothed army" is attacking from the back, it can rely on its strong personal combat strength, and at this time it has already rushed to the city gate tower, and the two sides have launched a tragic hand-to-hand battle on the city gate tower that is not too large, and the sound of fighting, roaring, the impact of weapons, and even the wails of the wounded resounded in the sky, and there was no way to retreatThe "black-clothed army" was completely desperate in its fighting style, and the officers and soldiers of the palace guards and Yulin were forced to retreat one after another, and the situation was extremely unfavorable to the defenders.

Shit, shit! As soon as Li Zhen rushed to the Qianhua Gate, he saw the scuffle on the tower of the city gate from afar, cursed secretly, flew to the city gate with a gun in both hands, and with a force under his feet, he had a few ups and downs on the ladder, and the people had already flown up and down on the city, and he shouted: "Li Zhen, the king of Yue, is here!" Kill! The bright silver gun in his hand was a round, and he entered the "black-clothed army" from behind, the gun was like the wind, and he killed several people in an instant, and where he passed, the blocker was invincible, and the "black-clothed army" who was originally dominating did not expect Li Zhen, the killing star, to kill from behind, and suddenly there was a big chaos, and the palace guards and Yulin officers and soldiers who had already been a little unbearable were greatly boosted, shouting and rushing to kill, and for a time they actually had the upper hand, and the "black-clothed army" was embarrassed.

"His Royal Highness King Yue, go and rescue the driver, if there is a thief mixed into the inner court, just hand it over to a certain family here." Wu Sheng, who was fighting with the two masters of the "Black-clothed Army", suddenly saw that Li Zhen had killed through the enemy formation, and was rushing to himself, and hurriedly shouted loudly.

"Good!" Li Zhen replied, and the bright silver spear in his hand took advantage of the situation to stab, and stabbed a master of the "Black Army" who was fighting with Wu Sheng under the gun, and then dodged, dodging the two steel knives from the side, and his body jumped off the city gate tower in a rise and fall, and rushed towards the direction of the Manna Palace......

Unwilling, Li Ke is really unwilling, but unwilling but there is no way, who let him set off so late for half a beat, in desperation, he can only lead his troops to turn to the direction of Xuanwu Gate, but he has just arrived on North Street, and he has not even walked to the street, and the war outside the palace has all ended, obviously, the war in the palace is not his share, so he will lead the troops to rush into the palace, and he will not dare to do so if he is given ten more dares, in desperation, he can only stop at the mouth of Liuxiang Lane on North Street, and is thinking about collecting troops and returning home. Suddenly, he saw a lone horse at the far end of the street galloping along the street, and immediately alertly ordered the whole army to be on guard, but he never thought that the man had just run to the front and turned his horse's head in a panic and ran away in the way he came.

"Who? Hold it! Li Ke's guards were unhappy because they didn't catch the battle, and when they saw this person acting in a panic, they looked like fleeing rebels, and immediately shouted loudly, but unexpectedly, it was okay not to shout, and under this call, the man ran a little faster.

Li Ke frowned, waved his hand and said, "Catch up and take it!" The palace guards, who had been waiting for this sentence for a long time, immediately responded to the order, and rushed out with their horses, whistling after the man, but in a moment, one of the guards rushed back, and when they came closer, they hurriedly shouted: "Your Highness, Your Highness, surrounded, surrounded!" ”

"Huh?" Li Ke was stunned for a moment, sank his face, and said coldly: "Let's be clear, who is surrounded?" ”

"Your Highness, Hou Junji, that old thief is surrounded by us in the middle of the street, please make it clear to Your Highness." The guard took a big breath and steadied himself, and then he said in surprise.

"What?" Rao is Li Ke has always been calm, joy and anger are invisible, at first hearing such shocking news, he was also stunned, his heart beat hard, he was stupid for a while, and it took a long time to come back to his senses, and he urged the war horse under the seat, and he didn't say a word, just waved his hand, and then rushed to the front, and more than a thousand soldiers immediately flocked to follow.

If you are not careful, you will lose all the games! Hou Junji was alone and besieged on the streets of North Street, although he was full of regret in his heart, his face was as calm as before, faint, and he didn't even have any expression, even when he saw Li Ke coming out of the crowd, he didn't say anything.

"Yo, isn't this Hou Gong? Xiao Wang is polite here. As soon as Li Ke saw Hou Junji, a trace of excitement flashed across his face, but he still greeted him politely.

"Humph!" Hou Junji glanced at Li Ke contemptuously, snorted coldly, and looked too far away, not even looking at Li Ke.

"Come on, please get off the horse and rest for one or two." Facing Hou Junji's cold eyes, Li Ke didn't care at all, and said a gentle word with a smile, and immediately several horsemen rushed forward, knives and guns came out, forcing Hou Junji, and shouted in his mouth: "Get off the horse and surrender!" ”

"Hahaha......" Facing the knife and gun in front of him, Hou Junji suddenly laughed, the laughter was full of desolation, and he didn't try to resist, he gently untied the horizontal knife on his waist, threw it on the ground, and walked to Li Ke's horse very calmly, and said with a sneer: "Congratulations to His Royal Highness King Wu for being able to take the old man's head to receive merit, it's a pity, hey, it's a pity, it's a pity that His Royal Highness King Wu can't enter the East Palace even if he is busy, hey, hey, this East Palace has already had a master, King Wu, you are just a bamboo basket for water. ”

Li Ke didn't care about Hou Junji's ridicule, and said lightly: "Hou Gong said that he was joking, the little king of the East Palace doesn't care much, everything has his own father and emperor, Hou Gong please." ”

"Hahaha......" Hou Junji laughed recklessly, glanced at Li Ke, and said coldly: "A certain is defeated by the hands of King Yue, His Royal Highness is just picking up a big bargain, hehe." As soon as the words fell, his face turned to the sky, and he no longer paid attention to Li Ke.

"Take it down!" Although Li Ke knew that Hou Junji's words were deliberately sowing discord, he still couldn't help but be angry, frowned quickly, forced himself to suppress the irritability in his heart, and ordered his guards to escort Hou Junji down, and looked at the direction of the imperial city fixedly, in a daze for a while, but at the end of the day, he turned the horse's head without saying a word, and did not return home, leading his guards straight to the location of the yamen of the criminal department......
