The family sat happily at a table and ate dinner, and Li Zhi looked very happy at the dinner table, and he was still immersed in great success.

Zhang Wenyi looked at the happy Li Zhi and was also very happy, if she didn't guess wrong, those who wanted to make trouble in the near future would definitely weigh the consequences. According to the experience of later generations, the military parade was a good opportunity to show force.

The shock given to all walks of life by such a 10,000-person military parade will definitely not be ordinary, and the military parade is still an excellent opportunity for Li Zhi to enhance his prestige, and the voices opposing Li Zhi will definitely be much smaller in the near future.

The two children who watched the military parade on the Chengtian Gate were equally happy, and the two imitated the appearance of walking and made Li Zhi laugh.

Suddenly, someone broke open the door roughly, and the person who rushed in was Bai Sanniang. She hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, Niangniang, go quickly!" Mutiny! ”

Li Zhi stood up abruptly and asked sharply, "Can you see clearly?" ”

Bai Sanniang replied truthfully and said, "The slave didn't see it clearly, it was a forbidden army on duty in Xuanwu Gate who came to announce. The servant dares to use the head of the item to vouch for it, this person is absolutely reliable. ”

Zhang Wenyi turned his head to Li Zhi and said, "Your Majesty, it is better to be cautious than to be careless and have a whole army annihilated. ”

Li Zhi thought for a while and said, "Then what should I do now?" ”

During this time, Li Zhi made frequent moves, and Zhang Wenyi was indeed worried that pushing people too much would cause a counterattack. But Li Zhi insisted on taking this opportunity to severely crack down on the power of the gate valve family, so Zhang Wenyi also made the worst plan.

waited until the Lingnan Army arrived in Chang'an, and the other party did not make a move, and Zhang Wenyi also put his heart down. Who knew that the other party would launch a mutiny at this time after completing the parade, which Zhang Wenyi did not expect.

Zhang Wenyi asked calmly, "How many rebels are there?" ”

Bai Sanniang replied: "That person said that there were at least five or six hundred people he could see, led by Xue Wanche and Fang Yiai. ”

When Li Zhi heard that there was Xue Wanche among the rebellions, he was not only shocked. Because this person is not only a member of the Tang Dynasty and a fierce general on the same level as Li Ji and Li Daozong, but also a fierce general who holds military power, and he has 3,000 elite soldiers in his hands to mobilize.

In fact, Xue Wanche can mobilize far more than 3,000 elite soldiers, because there is also a faceless Chai Lingwu, he also has 500 elite soldiers to mobilize, plus the servants of the three families can also make up more than 1,000 people.

However, it is still very dangerous for about 5,000 soldiers to rebel in Chang'an City, because the defenders of Chang'an have about 60,000 people, and there are 5,000 imperial forest troops in the imperial city, and 8,000 forbidden troops are also stationed in the city, and the rest are stationed in the camp outside the city. If you count the troops who came to be read temporarily, there are more than 70,000 troops in the entire Chang'an.

With such a huge disparity, as long as the rebels could not quickly take control of the palace and capture the emperor, they would face their fate. Xue Wanche and Fang Yiai are both concubines of the Tang Dynasty and belong to members of the royal family, what prompted them to mutiny?

Zhang Wenyi was not a person who was proficient in history in her previous life, so she didn't know that this mutiny had been postponed for more than two years, and that the mutiny that had bequeathed them in her previous life had not yet been launched.

It's just that Zhang Wenyi calculated that the imperial city in this period was very large, and in the face of countless palaces in the harem, not to mention five or six hundred, it was five or six thousand people, and it was difficult to control the entire imperial city without good organizational skills.

Fortunately, some time ago, preparations were made, and the other party was in trouble immediately after the parade, and the items that Zhang Wenyi had prepared for the retreat had not been put away, and now they were just using it.

She immediately asked Bai Sanniang to find Li Qinglian, Zhu Ruojun, Murong Qiu, Xu Wanru, Shen Yue, Fang Qiong and Lu Yan.

It didn't take long for Bai Sanniang to find the other seven people, and the eight of them came to Zhang Wenyi's house together. At this time, Zhang Wenyi had already prepared the weapons and packages. She asked Xu Wanru, Zhu Ruojun, Murong Qiu, and Shen Yue to escort Li Xin and Li Ruyi first; Li Qinglian and Lu Yan protected Li Zhi and followed; Zhang Wenyi and Fang Qiong covered for them.

It wasn't until the sound of slamming the door outside the gate of Qingning Palace that Zhang Wenyi and Fang Qiong quietly slipped out of the palace according to the pre-arranged route.

Chai Lingwu took two hundred people to ask Li Zhi to go to Qingning Palace tonight, and rushed over. Xue Wanche and the others knew that after Chai Lingwu rushed to arrest Li Zhi first, they immediately sent people to block the other exits of Qingning Palace to the outside world, and Zhang Wenyi and the others were almost knocked into each other.

After looking at the surrounding situation, Zhang Wenyi and the two still passed the Liangyi Hall to the west according to the scheduled route. They did not go to the nearest Yiqiu Gate, but took a detour to the small gate in the southwest corner for the palace maids to enter and exit.

There were many pedestrians along the way, and most of them were palace maids and eunuchs. This shows that the rebels have not arrived here for the time being, which makes Zhang Wenyi and Fang Qiong breathe a sigh of relief.

After the Baifu Palace, they came to the Ming and Qing Canals, where there were several small boats for them to evacuate. Zhang Wenyi was surprised to find that two boats were used in five small boats, which can generally only carry three or four people, which means that only two children and four maidservants left, and Li Zhi and Lu Yan did not come.

Zhang Wenyi thought about it, and said to Fang Qiong: "You go first, and after catching up with Xin'er and them, go directly to the camp of the Lingnan Army outside the south of the city, don't worry for a moment." ”

Fang Qiong said anxiously: "Niangniang, where are you going?" ”

Zhang Wenyi replied: "Your Majesty didn't come, I'm going to find him." The key to countering the rebellion lies in His Majesty, if he falls in the palace, we can only flee to Lingnan and find a way. ”

Fang Qiong said again: "Niangniang, what if you fall into their hands!" ”

Zhang Wenyi smiled and said, "No, you can't catch this palace at this point." ”

After Zhang Wenyi's training, Fang Qiong knew that the queen mother was very good at hiding and tracking, so she relieved herself to untie the cable and row away.

Zhang Wenyi recalled that it seemed that he couldn't see the secret mark left by Lu Yan after passing through the Liangyi Hall just now. Could it be that they are being held back somewhere? Zhang Wenyi felt unlikely.

When I returned to the vicinity of the Liangyi Palace, the rebels had already occupied the place, and the rebels were all in order to sentry, patrol, and rest, and it seemed that this was also a strong force.

Zhang Wenyi looked around and found that he was a little careless just now. The mark made by Lu Yan was a mark of a turn, and she didn't notice it. Zhang Wenyi saw that the mark pointed to the Taiji Palace, and was about to walk towards the Taiji Palace, when he suddenly thought of what Li Zhi was doing in the Taiji Palace? Where is the place of the upper court, there is a royal study next to it at most.

Although the emperor often reviews and folds in the imperial study, what is there worth Li Zhi to get at this time? If Li Zhi needs to counter-insurgency, the most needed items are jade seals and seals, at this time, even if the butt wiping paper is covered with a jade seal, it is a holy decree.

The emperor's private seal is in the imperial study, and the jade seal should be in the middle study. Li Zhi should have gone in these two directions. Looking at the time, Zhang Wenyi felt that if Li Zhi was going to the imperial study and the house, he should have walked out of the palace and walked on the way to the house.

Zhang Wenyi didn't dare to slack off, and took a shortcut and went straight to the house.

About halfway through, he suddenly heard a faint sound of fighting in front of him, and Zhang Wenyi hurriedly hurried over.

Turning between the two palaces, Lu Yan staggered towards Li Zhi with her head, and two eunuchs were besieging her.

The two eunuchs seemed to have the idea of capturing the two alive, and Lu Yan was almost exhausted. Zhang Wenyi picked up a crossbow and shot an arrow into the back of a eunuch's head, only to see that the eunuch's hand was raised and immediately softened to the ground.

The remaining eunuch was taken aback, and at that moment he could no longer tolerate mercy, the long sword in his hand penetrated into Lu Yan's chest three times or twice. Zhang Wenyi pulled out his revolver at this time and approached. The eunuch pulled out the long sword from Lu Yan's body and was about to arrest Li Zhi, his idea was to threaten Zhang Wenyi by grabbing Li Zhi.

But before she died, Lu Yan reached out and hugged one of the eunuch's legs tightly, making him unable to move. The eunuch fiercely cut off Lu Yan's arms with a sword, but Zhang Wenyi had already run into the range of the pistol at this time.

Zhang Wenyi's level of using firearms is much higher than her level of using a crossbow, the two are only seven or eight meters apart, Zhang Wenyi is kneeling and shooting repeatedly, one shot hit the eunuch's waist, one shot hit the eunuch's heart, and the third shot directly knocked half of the eunuch's face away.

The eunuch was covered in soft armor, and the first two shots did not hurt him much. He turned around and was about to throw out the sword in his hand, and wanted to fly the sword to kill Zhang Wenyi, but Zhang Wenyi's revolver gun fired faster than him, and the impact of the bullet carried the eunuch's body slightly, and the sword he flew out deviated from the target.

Zhang Wenyi made up a shot to completely kill the eunuch, and then added bullets to the gun, and Li Zhi looked at her in horror from the side.

Zhang Wenyi walked over and probed Lu Yan's neck artery to confirm that she was dead. Then Zhang Wenyi got up and grabbed Li Zhi, observed and ran towards a road to the south.

Even deeper in the night, the few gunshots just now are sure to alarm others. Although I don't know what the arrangement of the rebels is, since there are eunuchs who can track down Li Zhi, it is very likely that someone will rush over to check on them soon, and they must leave here quickly.

Li Zhi, who had experience in the attack in Dingzhou, knew that Zhang Wenyi had a strong ability to escape, and when he saw his wife reaching out to hold him, he trusted her and ran with her.

The two ran to a corner door, which was locked. Before Li Zhi could worry about how to pass, Zhang Wenyi had already opened the lock with something.

After passing the corner door, Zhang Wenyi didn't leave immediately, she took out some bottles and cans from the burden on her back, and put some on the branches inside and outside the door, and after doing all this, they could already faintly hear the sound of footsteps.

Zhang Wenyi calmly opened the door slightly, looking like she had hurriedly walked through and had not closed it properly. Turning around, Zhang Wenyi pulled Li Zhi lightly onto a road heading north.

Li Zhi is very strange, he has come here, why don't he go to the nearest palace gate to the south but go north?

After two months, the sky lit up, and at the same time I heard several loud noises behind me. Li Zhi couldn't help but look back, only to see a sky-high flame rising from the corner gate behind him.
