Chapter 251: Who Gains from Today's City Break?
Fortunately, the attack here in Donghua Gate was not violent, and the forbidden army under the city only had three ladders, and they rushed to kill for a while, and the damage was too great and they retreated.
Prince Dongping breathed a sigh of relief, he has been holding on for more than an hour now, and hopes that Niu Shiguang will bring people back soon, he doesn't seem to be the most dangerous here, but it is difficult to say whether Xuande Gate can be guarded.
Xihua Gate.
Zhao Xu and Zhao Yi were a little surprised when they saw Huang Jien and Concubine Yuan suddenly appear, and Zhao Xu asked, "Huang Daguan, why are you here?" β
Huang Jien saluted.
"The emperor said, the villain came here to help the two princes defend the city, what is the situation here?"
"The rebels haven't attacked the city yet, but they're ready to move."
Huang Jien came to the battlement, looked down, and saw that there were more than 2,000 forbidden troops under Xihua Gate, these forbidden troops did not have a ladder, obviously they couldn't attack the city, but they blocked the door and didn't let the people inside rush out, seeing this, Huang Jien breathed a sigh of relief.
The two guards dragged Concubine Yuan to the city, Concubine Yuan glared at Zhao Xu, and suddenly raised her leg and kicked him hard.
Zhao Xu sighed, his eyes flashed fiercely, Chu Chunlei killed his mother just now, but this account concubine was the culprit.
"Stopβ"
Zhao Xu shouted: "You killed my mother, what do you have to say?" β
Concubine Yuan turned her head, smiled strangely at Zhao Xu, and nodded.
Zhao Xu stepped forward and tore off the iron walnut stuffed in Concubine Yuan's mouth.
Concubine Yuan coughed twice, and she whispered a word to Zhao Xu, which only Zhao Xu could hear.
"Your Highness, who will benefit from the city's destruction today?"
As soon as this sentence came out, Zhao Xu seemed to be empowered, and the fire of power desire in his heart was ignited, and he immediately thought that even if his father could forgive him after today, he would miss the throne, and he would never have a chance to get involved in it in the future, but if the city is broken, the emperor, the queen, the crown prince, and the king of Qi will all suffer, Zhao Yi is a straw bag, there is nothing to be afraid of, who else can fight with him as the heir of Da Wei, isn't it him?
Seeing Zhao Xu's heartbeat, Concubine Yuan added oil and vinegar.
"Your Highness, there is an old saying, don't miss the opportunity and never come again."
Huang Jien didn't hear their conversation clearly, and when he saw Zhao Xu's expression suddenly changed, he couldn't help but feel a little strange, he didn't know what Concubine Yuan said to Zhao Xu, but now he didn't care about this, he counted the number of forbidden troops here in Xihuamen, there are more than two hundred forbidden troops here, half of them are the guards of the original palace, and these people are now obeying Zhao Xu and Zhao Yi's dispatch.
Zhao Yi actually slapped Huang Jin's ass.
"Huang Daguan, you can bring Xiao Wang more in the future, what do you need, just ask!"
Huang Jien glanced at Zhao Yi, too lazy to take care of it, this guy really doesn't know the severity, like this openly bribing the eunuchs around the emperor, if Xuan Ling knew that he had to be severely punished, he finished reading the city's defenses, and said to Zhao Xu and Zhao Yi: "Two highnesses, now that the Xuande Gate is tight, why don't you draw a hundred people from here to support first?" β
Zhao Xu shook his head, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he suddenly said to the forbidden army beside him: "This eunuch abandoned the emperor and plotted against him, arrest him!" β
Huang Jien was stunned for a moment, not understanding what Zhao Xu meant by suddenly saying this.
"Your Highness the Seventh, what are youβwhat are you going to do?"
"Guess what I'm going to do?"
Zhao Xu smiled, he waved his hand, and the forbidden army also arrested Huang Jien and the two military attaches who came with him.
Zhao Yi was confused.
"Old Seven, what are you doing here?"
"This king doesn't do anything, come here, open the Xihua Gate!"
Everyone was taken aback by this order.
"What, open the Xihua Gate, are you crazy?"
Zhao Xu looked at Zhao Yi and said viciously: "Everyone is trapped in the palace, just waiting for death, Xihuamen can still break through here now, if there are a few more forbidden troops below, we will all die here!" β
Zhao Yi hasn't figured it out yet.
"Old Seven, yes, it's my father who wants us to stay here, have you forgotten?"
"Father is confused, there are seventy or eighty thousand forbidden troops outside the palace, can they hold it, do we want to die together?"
In fact, there are at most 70,000 forbidden troops outside the palace, and Zhao Xu is deliberately exaggerating.
Huang Jien was in a hurry and shouted: "Your Highness the Seventh, don't be confused, as soon as the palace gate opens, everyone outside will come in, how can you break through?" β
Zhao Xu sneered: "Do you have to rush out of the breakout, everyone listen, prepare a rope for me, and we will slide down the city!" β
There was a commotion in the direction of Xuande Gate and Donghua Gate, and Zhao Yi sighed, and seemed to understand a little.
Concubine Yuan sneered behind Zhao Xu: "Your Highness doesn't make a move now, when will you stay?" β
Zhao Xu gritted his teeth and waved his hand: "Kill, kill this king!" He and Zhao Yi later brought a hundred forbidden troops from the Qingshou Palace, these people knew that something was wrong, some people turned around and ran, some people wanted to rescue Huang Jinn, and the original forbidden army in the city only knew that there were two princes, and they were at a loss one by one.
Seeing that the situation was not right, Zhao Xu snatched the long sword of a guard beside him, and stabbed him in the heart with a sword, and the guard didn't believe that Zhao Xu would attack him, and his body fell softly.
This time, these forbidden soldiers took the idea, some decided to follow the two princes to break through and flee for their lives, and some turned around and fled.
When Huang Jien took two guards to escort Concubine Yuan to Xihua Gate, Taiwei Gao was wandering around the palace on crutches, he didn't dare to go to the north gate at all, if the rebels captured the palace, everyone could be killed, he didn't want to wait for death, so he had to find a place to hide.
There are several cellars in the palace, the Qingshou Hall can no longer go, Gao Taiwei desperately thought about where to hide people, he first turned to the Chunnuan Pavilion, there is no cellar here in the Chunnuan Pavilion, but there is a hidden small sandwich room, the eunuch who usually serves here is waiting for the emperor to summon, the location is quite secret, but he got into it and patted the wall of the sandwich room, and found that it was just a wooden plank.
Such a thin plank is not safe at all, Taiwei Gao thought about it, if Chun Nuan Pavilion entered someone, he would definitely die if he poked in with a random shot, he slipped out again and ran to the imperial dining room, the cellar of the imperial dining room was larger, and there were bags of rice and noodles piled up below, and there was a large pile of garbage in the corner of the cellar, all of which were rotten vegetable leaves and other things.
The sound of the siege outside became more and more intense, and Taiwei Gao was very anxious, he couldn't care too much, and plunged into the rotten vegetable pile.
I only heard an oops, and there was actually a person hidden in the garbage in the rotten vegetable pile.
"Who?"
Taiwei Gao asked in surprise, and the man also asked, "Who?" β
The man peeked out of the garbage heap with half of his head out.
"Ah, it's Lord Taiwei, come in, I'm the prince!"
Captain Gao sighed and desperately burrowed into the garbage heap.
At this time, a fire rose in the direction of Xihua Gate, and the sound of killing came.
Yue'er was taken aback, Xihua Gate was not Lu Wang Zhaoxu and Jing Wang Zhaoyi guarding there, and Huang Jien also rushed over halfway, could they not stop it with Concubine Yuan as a shield, and Taiwei Gao, he went to Gongchen Gate, could he guard the gate with Concubine Baili?
There was a drum beat under the Xuande Gate, and the expression of the forbidden army, which was originally chaotic, suddenly became calm.
Yue'er secretly complained, she saw from the battlement that four or five ladders had been pushed over, and arrows began to fly like locusts under the city.
Lin Chengyong commanded everyone to squat down, and a big battle was about to begin.
Yue'er handed over the two feather arrows in her hand to Lin Chengyong, and said to Xuan Ling: "Your Majesty, there is going to be a war here, let's go!" β
Xuan Ling was a little surprised and asked, "Go, where are you going?" β
Yue'er gritted her teeth and said in a low voice: "The concubine knows a way to escape from the Baiyu Palace!" β
Xuan Ling looked Yue'er up and down, and suddenly said with a smile: "Haha, I finally understand how you entered the palace!" β
Yue'er was a little embarrassed and lowered her head.
"Oiran, do you know how to play chess?"
Xuan Ling suddenly asked, Yue'er was a little strange, at this moment, how could Xuan Ling ask such an inconsequential word.
"The little girl is dull, and she is not very good at chess."
"Do you know why the general can't get out of Tianzi?"
"I don't know, I just know that the general can't be opposite."
Yue'er shook her head, looking dazed.
"Because that's the position of the general, when he goes out, he is a chariot and a horse cannon, not a general!"
"Oh-"
Yue'er realized.
Xuan Ling saw that the people around him were looking at him, and resolutely said, "I won't go anywhere, I'm here!" β
When the surrounding forbidden troops heard this, their spirits were lifted, and they immediately shouted long live.
