Chapter 502: Action
Li Yuanchang ascended the throne at the age of twenty-four, and to this day, he has been the emperor for a total of seventeen years, a forty-one-year-old man is in the prime of life in the later generations, but in this era, he is already an old man, but there is no trace of aging on his face, his skin is delicate, the corners of his eyes are smooth, and he can't find a single white silk with black hair, a forty-year-old man should be like this, but Li Yuanchang is younger than those men in later generations, and if he doesn't delve into his age, the word "little fresh meat" is also appropriate for him.
Wei Hui, who walked side by side with Wang Yan, was less than thirty, but his face was as old as fifty old men, Wang Yan still remembered how elegant and vigorous Wei Hui was when he set off from Luoyang, and along the way, he was tortured by the vicious Xixia life into this appearance.
The Western Xia Dynasty will be the same as Da Liang, and confidential matters will naturally not be said in front of Wei Hui and Wang Yan, even in the eyes of everyone, these two people are already dead.
After finishing speaking, the ceremonial officer stepped forward to report the visitation of the envoy, Wei Hui and Wang Yan followed the etiquette and saluted, knelt down to the king and offered gifts, but Wei Hui only bent down, did not kneel, Wang Yan too, bent over, and then straightened his waist.
"Why don't you kneel when you see my king!" The ceremonial officer immediately asked with difficulty.
"I can't kneel down because I have knee problems in the lower grades." Wei Hui was making up nonsense in his righteous words, and glanced at the official with a gentle face, his eyes full of disdain.
Wang Yan was beside Wei Hui, and when he spoke, he had already locked the aura of the master in the hall, and his hands were on his sides, and he could take out his weapon at any time.
"Nonsense! I think you are underestimating my master! See if I don't tear you apart! A big man turned sideways, pointed at Wei Hui and Wang Yan and yelled, and when the words fell, he rushed towards Wei Hui.
Almost everyone could hear Wei Hui talking nonsense, how could the henchmen who were loyal to Li Yuanchang not hear it? A figure crossed the big man, his hand turned into a claw, and went straight to Wang Yan's shoulder.
"Stop!" Li Yuanchang said with a smile, and the ceremonial officer standing aside did not relay Li Yuanchang's words for the first time, but turned around and wanted to repeat Wei Hui's faux pas again.
"Stop!" A deep voice resounded through the hall, and the eunuch standing on the other side of Li Yuanchang shouted sharply. "General Li, don't you even listen to His Majesty's words?"
After the eunuch's words fell, the figure that went straight to Wang Yan's shoulder suddenly stopped, looked up at Li Yuanchang, then stood up straight, and saluted Li Yuanchang before slowly retreating into the line.
Wang Yan didn't move, from the footsteps of the comer, Wang Yan had already judged his strength, a combination of enemies.
Wei Hui chuckled, his smile was full of mockery, and he didn't look at the person either, his eyes always looked at Li Yuanchang.
"Wei Hui, Wang Yan." Li Yuanchang's fingers lightly tapped the night pearl on the top of the armrest of the dragon chair, reading the names of the two, especially accenting when reading Wang Yan's name. "I ask you, would you like to come to my Great Xia Kingdom as an official?"
Wang Yan's expression remained unchanged, but some surprise rose in his heart, he recruited the two of them at the moment, and he had already pierced the window paper, thinking that he was working hard in exchange for a way to survive?
"Thank you Emperor Xia for your kindness, I have no intention of coming to Great Xia to be an official." Wei Hui replied very dryly, and after speaking, his hand was slightly raised, and the wooden box was slowly raised.
The eunuch who was guarding the side hurriedly stepped forward to take the gift, according to the etiquette, the eunuch should open the wooden box in front of the ministers to display the gift, but the eunuch obviously forgot this, and went directly to the side hall with the wooden box.
"I have received Emperor Liang's blessing, you can go." Li Yuanchang waved his hand and said a little impatiently.
"Then I'll take my leave." Wei Hui replied simply, Wang Yan followed Wei Hui to give Li Yuanchang a salute, turned around and strode towards the outside of the hall.
The palace guards guarding on both sides of the avenue were still majestic and mighty, Wang Yan's sharp eyes saw a palace guard running along the wall towards the south gate, and his heart tightened, but nothing happened in the inner city and the corridor, there were no random arrows and fire oil, the two went out of the imperial city smoothly, and the Tiance guard who was waiting in front of the city gate successfully converged.
Wei Hui took off his brocade robe, quickly took the clothes and shoes handed over by Major General Tiance, and quickly changed them. "Wear a mask! Go ahead of your plan! The words fell, and the neat line instantly became a mess, but soon the queue resumed.
"Scatter!" Wei Hui ordered in a low voice, and the team instantly dispersed into four strands and marched towards the four gates.
Wang Yan glanced back at the gate of the Great Xia Imperial City before starting, and sighed silently in his heart.
Today's weather is very good, the sky is clear, the air is full of warmth by the sun, the four teams are quickly marching towards the four gates, and before they have gone far, people are pouring out of the streets and alleys to fight with the Tiance guards.
Tian Ce Wei did not fall in love with the battle, they were all breakthrough style rush kills, the encirclement of 100 people did not trap the Tian Ce Wei team of nearly 40 people for too long, after breaking through twice, the four teams turned into the alley lanes one after another.
In the palace, the court meeting has been dispersed, but the ministers did not leave the palace, but went to the side hall to wait, in the main hall, there are only two people, one is Li Yuanchang, the other is Lu Chuan, time passes bit by bit, Li Yuanchang clenched his hands into fists against his head, closed his eyes and recuperated, and half an hour later a palace guard rushed into the palace.
"Report! The general of the east gate of the town chased to the east gate, and all the Liang people who tried to attack the east gate were killed! The east gate was not broken, and the bodies of the two men were not found. As soon as the guards finished speaking, another man rushed into the temple.
"Report! The gate of the west city was opened, and the Liang people were fighting with the Tuoba army guarding outside the gate, and the general of Zhenximen had already led the army to join the battle. ”
After listening to this, Li Yuanchang's posture remained the same, and he still looked like he was resting with his eyes closed.
Lu Chuan nodded, and the guards who delivered the message withdrew, Lu Chuan did not speak, and stood aside and waited quietly.
Reducing the defense of the four gates is Li Yuanchang's attention, although the army guarding outside the four gates is called the Tuoba army, but more than half of them are forbidden troops, Li Yuanchang wants to use Tiance Wei to reduce the strength of the Tuoba family in the army, but just after Wei Hui hit him, he changed his mind and wanted Wei Hui and Wang Yan's lives, because of his face, he did not shoot in the imperial city, but sent the generals who guarded the four gates of the imperial city to lead a thousand palace elites to chase and kill.
The east gate has already had results, and there is also movement at the west gate, and the north gate believes that it will not be long before the news will be returned, and the south gate is far away, but I am afraid that there will be news back and I will have to wait for a while.
After another stick of incense, news came from the north gate, the situation was the same as the west gate, breaking through the city gate, and fighting with the defenders outside the city, but the momentum was rapid.
There is also news from the south gate, the general of Zhennanmen has arrived at the south gate, but the Tiancewei who broke through to the south gate has not yet arrived, and the general of Zhennanmen has already lined up in front of the gate.
..
After half an hour of fighting, Wang Yan and the others had already come to the courtyard where the weapons and fast horses were placed, and they had changed their equipment.
"General, no matter what happens after you get out of the city, don't look back." Wei Hui said firmly.
