The people of the king of Chu were killed, and those who were put in the prison were put in the prison, and it was not long before another soldier went up to the city gate, gesturing unknown flags in the distance.

The person who received the signal disappeared into the woods, and when he reappeared, it was already far away from Chang'an, and the person waiting for him was none other than King Wu.

"Your Highness, the King of Chu entered the palace and was captured in less than an hour!"

King Wu smiled when he heard the news, "Just now the King of Chu framed me at the gate of the city, and now he has been imprisoned, be a man." ”

"Your Highness, then what are we going to do next!"

King Wu stood up, and the fan in his hand also opened, "Wait for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to return to Chang'an, there is still a lot of excitement to see in this Chang'an!" ”

Speaking of this, King Wu paused and continued: "You say that my stupid brother knows that I am not dead, how could he think of assassinating Li Chengqian? Did he think that my death was the handiwork of Li Chengqian? ”

No one around him accosted him, and King Wu seemed to be used to this situation, and said to himself: "Then should I tell him?" He has always listened to me, if he is allowed to continue like this, Bao Buqi will get the same fate as the King of Chu. ”

King Wu's words stopped, and his figure also left the house, taking advantage of the afterglow of the setting sun, leaving a back.

Li Chengqian is still trying to find a way to make Xingxin happy, but Chengxin always looks preoccupied and ignores Li Chengqian's overtures. Although Li Chengqian was a little tired, he couldn't just let the relationship between the two go cold.

But before Li Chengqian could think of a way, a secret letter came to him from the capital, it was the spy of the Fang family, and the secret report told Li Chengqian for the first time, and Li Chengqian was shocked!

"What do you say? The king of Chu led his troops into Chang'an! Straight to the palace? ”

Xiangxin was also shocked by Li Chengqian's words, and hurriedly got out of the carriage to inquire about the situation, he was not afraid of the rebellion of the King of Chu, he was afraid of the two female dependents of the East Palace, what if he was killed by the people of the King of Chu!

Li Chengqian listened to what the spy said twice, and then he lowered his face and said angrily: "What does the King of Chu want to do, he actually led troops to rebel!" Is he crazy? ”

Satisfied but said coldly: "They are not crazy, on the contrary, it should be said that they are wise, the soldiers have gone out to fight, and the interior is empty and unguarded, this trick is beautiful to steal the family!" ”

Li Chengqian said a little anxiously: "The army does not rest, and rushes back to Chang'an overnight!" ”

Xiangxin also knew that it could only be so, but he still asked: "What can we do, and the king of Chu will definitely not stupidly say that he is a rebel, most likely he is saying that he is protecting the emperor and controlling the emperor in his own hands, so we can't do anything!" ”

Li Chengqian also knew that this was the case, his own people could not attack Chang'an City at all, if the king of Chu really guarded the city, and even took the emperor and the crown princess and others as hostages, then what he did would be in vain!

Xiangxin was also worried about Li Yulong's safety, thought for a while and said: "Let's do it, let the two sentries go to Runzhou to borrow some soldiers, let's go to the top of the mountain before going outside Chang'an City, there is a small road over there to detour to the east gate, we can sneak attack at night while it is dark, if it really doesn't work, we can only wait for the big army to come!" ”

Li Chengqian thought about it and agreed to the satisfactory plan of action, and said while sending people to Runzhou to call people: "How many people can there be in Runzhou now?" It's used even if there are too few people! ”

He thought for a while and said: "It seems that Runzhou has not transferred too many troops, and it is probably possible to divide about 10,000, and this matter must also be told to General Cheng and others, otherwise these people may also be trapped!" ”

Li Chengqian was so anxious that while urging the army to rush overnight, he assigned people to deliver the news.

After rushing through the night, at last two days later, at noon, they reached the top of the mountain, where the wagons and horses were thrown halfway up the mountain, and the empty training camp was resting and waiting for the fierce battle of the night.

What Li Chengqian didn't know was that they were discovered by the hundred horsemen the moment they went up the mountain, these hundred horsemen have been training here, and after returning from the previous mission, they were even more confident, and everyone had at least one life on their hands, this feeling of judging the wicked was too good, and the situation of those corrupt officials begging for mercy under their own hands made them excited.

After returning to the camp, Liu Deng checked the situation of the various camps as soon as possible, and he was very sure that there were still people not long ago, but he didn't know if these people left after seeing him and others, or if they had something to do so they left.

Liu Deng explained the situation here and Li Chengqian, and Li Chengqian's heart was also chuckled, if the hidden weapon of Baiqi was also taken by the King of Chu, then his battle would be even more difficult.

"You try to contact them with your unique contact details to see what is going on with them!" ”

Liu Deng heard the words of satisfaction and immediately ran to the woods with the rest of the two brothers, the three people in the woods made strange noises carefully, and then waited for the sound of response, but the expected news did not come, Liu Deng did not give up and sent another message, but after all, he did not get a reply.

In fact, their news was heard by the hundred horsemen hiding in the woods, but due to the previous rebellion of the king of Chu, Li Junxian gave an order, and the hundred horsemen who were still outside should not be contacted at will until their identity was determined, and Liu Deng had already taken off the face scarf, which was a big taboo for the hundred horses, plus they didn't know that the secret base they trained was the training site of the original prince's mansion soldiers, and they thought that Liu Deng and others brought people to arrest them, so they began to take precautions.

The news that Liu Deng ran to the secret place with a large army immediately spread to the palace, Li Junxian was stunned when he heard that Liu Deng took off his face towel, he didn't believe that the person he had carefully selected would defect, but the news still came, plus Li Chengqian and others would take at least two days to arrive, and Li Junxian didn't think about it.

Sadly, Li Chengqian and others were afraid of encountering the rebels, so they put away the military flag, which made the hundred cavalry unable to recognize which team it was, and both sides began to get nervous under the asymmetry of information.

Li Junxian found Li Shimin with this news, Li Shimin's face was not very good-looking, you must know that the more than 10,000 people brought by the rebellion of the King of Chu were all his cronies, and he was deceived that he was here to escort him, these are understandable, but where did more than 10,000 people come from, Li Shimin didn't want to think deeply, and looked at the map under the command of Li Junxian.

After a while, Li Shimin said: "I'm afraid these people want to take advantage of the darkness to raid the east gate, you can take people to the east gate to ambush, more than 10,000 people, my Chang'an City is not anyone who wants to come!" ”

Li Junxian took the order, and the only remaining manpower in the palace was transferred to the east gate, and many people in Chang'an City were pulled over, this time it may really be a battle to attack and defend the city, I hope that this time the thieves will be as naïve as the King of Chu to send people to disperse, Li Junxian thought so.

Liu Deng and the others did not bring back the news, which made Xiangxin and Li Chengqian a little panicked, they all knew the strength of the hundred horses, even if the king of Chu had occupied the palace, but there was no problem in escaping with the skills of the hundred horses.

Li Chengqian said a little anxiously: "The relationship in this Chang'an City is complicated, I really can't say which official is the secret son of the King of Chu, if someone really responds in the city, now Chang'an City should be in trouble!" ”

Satisfaction shook his head and did not agree with Li Chengqian's statement, "Chang'an City will not be so calm if it really makes trouble, our location seems to be far away from Chang'an, but the actual distance is not much, the gate of Chang'an City is closed, there is no sound inside and outside the city, it doesn't look like a riot at all, it's more like the King of Chu is in control of the situation, waiting for us to come back and wipe us out!" ”

Li Chengqian looked at Chang'an City below, and a sense of powerlessness was born, in addition to the moat, there are all kinds of tower defenses, he really can't attack the city, is the princess okay? Is Father alright? Li Chengqian even thought that if handing over the throne to the king of Chu could save their lives, then it would be good to hand it over to him.

But this kind of thought is just a flash, Li Chengqian knows that no matter whether the king of Chu becomes the emperor or not, he will die, otherwise he will die, because after the king of Chu becomes the emperor unjustly, if he does not die, one day he will rebel, even if he tells him that he will not rebel, he will not believe it.

Xiangxin is still looking at Chang'an City under the mountain, seeing that the sky is getting a little darker, Xiangxin is a little relieved, commanding everyone to make a long ladder, everyone rested for less than two hours and was called up to work, fortunately, everyone is holding a breath in their hearts, and they all know that this is the last step to go home, so they are all full of this heart to fight to the death to do things.

The long ladders were carried on the shoulders of a group of four, and when they saw that the night had fallen, they immediately ordered to set up ladders outside the moat.

More than 10,000 people tacitly agreed without making a sound, and then the darkness moved the ladder to the side of the moat, and the log ladders were erected on both sides of the moat. ”

Everyone came neatly and went back neatly, and went back to the mountains and forests not far away to eat the last dry food, everyone was waiting for the moment in the early morning, the time to put the ladder just now was the time of the changing of the guard estimated by Cheng Chumo, if nothing else, no one should find out about the ladder just now.

Everyone was full of food and drink, closed their eyes and recuperated, waiting for the wee hours of the morning, the most sleepy time.

What they didn't know was that when they put the ladder, the bows and arrows on the east gate were already aimed at them, but they didn't release the arrows easily, on the one hand, they didn't know the identity of the enemy, and on the other hand, they were afraid of startling the snake.
