Chapter 42: King Run's Rebellion

The queen mother's wind and cold came menacing on the second day, and she was half-asleep and half-awake.

Occasionally dazed and dreamy, sometimes very awake.

The doctors of the entire Tai Hospital were all in the house for diagnosis and treatment, and even nothing more than entered the palace with Xiao Yichen.

"The Queen Mother is poisoned." It was nothing more than walking out of the house and saying to Xiao Yiqian.

"But I don't know what this poison is, it's colorless and tasteless, and I can't even test it with a silver needle."

Xiao Yiqian was furious, and ordered the palace to cooperate with the palace, search the palace, and transfer the forbidden army to clear the people who had been with the queen mother yesterday into the prison, and the queen mother's brother, Mu Zhiyan, was fully responsible for this matter.

Xiao Yichen and Wufei checked the palace, and everyone in the palace was panicked for a while.

In the capital, the families of many officials were brought into prison, and the Runwangfu family and the Lu'anbo family were not spared, with the exception of the lady of the Marquis of Ningyuan.

For several days, the Queen Mother's condition deteriorated, and the investigation in the palace made no progress.

The families of the officials who were being detained in the prison were terrified.

Ming dyed clothes did not untie the belt, and stayed by the Queen Mother's side every day.

The sky was gloomy day after day, and outside the capital city covered with yellow sand, the general under the command of King Run had led his troops to the outskirts of the capital and camped here.

King Run decreed that he would release his family and son, but on the same day, he was sternly rejected by the emperor.

King Run was furious and argued with the emperor in the imperial study, and then left the palace and went out of the city overnight.

The emperor decreed that the siege army led by Mu Xu should surround the suburbs.

One dark and windy night, the prison of Dali Temple was broken into, and the prince An Xuqiao was robbed that night.

Xiao Yiqian issued several orders in a row, asking Xiao Yichen to lead the army to run the king and subdue the law.

King Run led the army in his hand and Xiao Yichen's Texas army to start a fight under the hillside outside the city.

King Run left half of his men to fight the Texas army, and he led the other half of his soldiers to attack through the south gate and enter the capital.

The streets of the city were bleak, the people closed their doors, and the smell of blood on the soldiers was in the wind.

King Run, dressed in armor and bloodstained, rode a black horse, and led the soldiers all the way to the outside of the palace walls.

He looked up at Xiao Yiqian, who was standing on the wall of the palace several feet high, and said in a loud voice: "Xiao Yiqian, this king has always been peaceful, but you capture this king's son and imprison this king's wife and daughter, what are your intentions?" Do you want to let this royal family die? ”

Xiao Yiqian, who was on the platform of the palace wall, looked at King Run below with a pair of clear and wise eyes, and his casual expression revealed a calm without panic.

He stared at King Run for a long time, and suddenly let out a chuckle and said in a deep voice: "King Run, this is going to rebel?" ”

King Run brushed away the messy hair that covered his eyes under his helmet, looked up to the sky and laughed, and then said, "This is what you forced this king?" ”

"Could it be that with this little bit of people under you, you want to force the palace?" Xiao Yiqian stood on the platform of the palace wall, condescending, and his eyes were chilling.

King Run looked back at the soldiers crowded on the palace road behind him, this is the 50,000 army under his command, there are 50,000 people fighting with King Chen outside the city, and there are 100,000 people in the city who are fighting with Mu Zhiyan.

And he took these 50,000 soldiers to fight a bloody way from the city and approached the palace walls.

King Run laughed, looked at Xiao Yiqian, and said proudly: "Now your forbidden army is all outside the palace, and there is no army stationed in the palace at this moment, this little bit of the king's men and horses will capture you, more than enough, do you still expect someone to kill you from the king's 100,000 army to save you?" ”

"It seems that King Run's victory is in hand."

Xiao Yiqian commanded the two movements, and the rows of archers on the palace wall platform rose in response, drawing their bows against the army below.

King Run was a little surprised, "You already knew that there would be today?" ”

Xiao Yiqian pursed his lips and chuckled, everything today was his careful planning, how could he not know.

King Run mockingly asked, "Just with your little archer, you want to deal with this king's army of 50,000?" ”

"Really? It's better for General Lu Yongzong to tell King Run in person. Xiao Yiqian smiled and looked at the armored man behind King Run.

King Run turned his head in shock, and saw Lu Yongzong wave his hand, and the soldiers on the official road were divided into two teams, and one of them held a saber in his hand and pressed it against the neck of the other group of unsuspecting soldiers.

"Lu Yongzong, you betrayed this king?" King Run angrily pointed at Lu Zhongzong, and with the other hand, he pulled out the saber at his waist.

Lu Yongzong is the general of the Texas Army, and he is also the general under Shen Xing, some time ago, he took many generals of the Texas Army to defect to King Run in private, and kept saying that he was unhappy about Shen Xing's death, hoping to follow King Run and avenge his former master.

After the death of the eldest princess, he provoked countless words from Xiao Yiqian who was jealous of King Run's military power, saying that he was willing to defect to King Run's banner on the day of the rebellion and fight against Xiao Yiqian together.

King Run listened to him and secretly transferred the army of the frontier back to the capital.

Now it seems that everything is Xiao Yiqian's plan, no wonder King Run's army held a false order and rushed into the capital from the frontier all the way unimpeded, but no one in the court noticed it.

It turned out that imprisoning An Xuqiao in Dali Temple was the fuse, a fire rope that forced King Run to rebel.

"Ah, Lord Wang, let's fight with them." In the dense crowd of people and horses, a long shout came out, and I saw a person wielding a knife and slashing desperately.

The soldiers who were held hostage around them also ignored the knives around their necks and engaged in fierce battles with the enemies on their bodies.

The blood that flowed red stained the clean official road.

King Run joined the battle and fought with Lu Yongzong.

There were more and more severed limbs and corpses lying on the official road, and the armor of many soldiers was already in tatters, and the howling wind blew a strong bloody breath onto the palace wall and into the palace.

Xiao Yiqian looked at the blood flowing down with cold eyes, snatched the bow and arrow from the hand of the archer next to him, his eyes were cold, and he aimed the bow and arrow at King Run, and the bowstring in his hand was loosened, and the sharp arrow flew towards King Run.

King Run's body stiffened with his back to the palace wall, and a series of arrows were inserted straight into his chest, he looked down at the arrows that had not entered his body, and slowly looked back at the palace wall.

With a heavy sound of falling to the ground, he looked at the sky lying in a pool of blood, and sneered in his heart.

When the An family helped the Xiao family win the country, the An family has always been in peace, but he has never been able to escape the suspicion of the emperor.

The heart of the emperor is really unfathomable.

The corners of his mouth struggled to raise a taunt, and his eyes slowly closed, and he could no longer open them.

The heavy red lacquer door slowly opened, and Mu Xu stood alone in front of the palace gate.

"Listen to the soldiers, King Run is dead, he is the leader of this rebellion, if you disarm and surrender, the saint will deal with it lightly, and he will not be killed."

When the soldiers who had the upper hand heard this, their swords-wielding hands paused, and their eyes looked at the gate of the palace wall.

The soldiers looked at each other, stopped fighting, and slowly knelt on the ground, and the soldiers who were fighting behind them saw that they had surrendered in front of them, and they all threw away their blades, knelt on the ground with a brush, and kowtowed to the palace wall platform to beg for mercy.

The smoke of gunpowder rising outside the palace walls was still at this moment, and a rebellion that I thought would be earth-shattering ended because of the fall of King Run.

And Muyang led the army around the city, and Xiao Yichen joined forces with the outside to capture all the rebels outside the city.

The rebels in the city, hearing that King Run was dead and that his soldiers had surrendered, knew that the tide was over, and they no longer resisted.

The soldiers and horses in the hands of King Run have all been surrendered to Xiao Yiqian, and this rebellion in less than a day has easily won a big victory.
