"Yue'er understands, no matter what Your Highness does, Yue'er will not take it to heart, as long as Yue'er knows that His Highness has me in his heart, I will be satisfied."

Scarlet Moon is now a time to rejoice, and it was because of Wei Xian's indifference to her before, but now it has all disappeared. Wei Xianken came to see her and said these words to her, which shows that he still has affection for himself, doesn't it? After all, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince understands that she is the one who treats him wholeheartedly, not the slut Scarlet Smoke.

Wei Xian pretended to hook his lips and smiled, and gently held Scarlet Yue's hand, "You have been wronged." ”

Scarlet Yue half-pushed and half-approached Wei Xian's arms, raised her sleeves to wipe her tears, looked pitiful, but said in her mouth: "With His Highness's words, Yue'er is not aggrieved." ”

Scarlet Moon thought that she had succeeded in winning back Wei Xian's heart, but she didn't see the light and calculation that flashed in Wei Xian's eyes.

Another half a month passed, and what Scarlet Smoke and Wei Chimu were worried about finally happened.

In the dead of night, the waning moon in the sky is like a hook, and the sound of fighting in the silent Kyoto city shakes the sky.

The Zhang family rebelled!

When the news reached the palace, it was already three o'clock, and although it was already prepared, Zhang Qing's army raided the Gyeonggi camp, and then rushed directly to the capital, directly approaching the palace, which still caught Wei An a little off guard.

In the main hall, the princes and civil and military officials stood silently, all of them bowing their heads and not daring to look directly at Long Wei. Wei An sat on the dragon chair, his face full of anger, and rubbed his forehead with his hands.

Outside, a guard hurriedly rushed in to report: "Your Majesty, the rebels have entered the city gate and are about to reach the palace." ”

The ministers looked at each other, all of them looking horrified. Now the commander of the forbidden army is leading the troops to guard the palace gate, but the enemy is too numerous, I am afraid it will be difficult to hold for too long, and the Gyeonggi camp has been blocked by the rebels outside the city, unable to enter the city to rescue, if no measures are taken, Zhang Qing will break into the palace to force the palace sooner or later.

Wei An raised his head, and his sharp gaze fell on Wei Xian and Wei Chimu. "The prince and the lieutenant Chi Mu listen to the order!"

Wei Xian and Wei Chi Mu came out in response.

"Erchen is here!"

"The minister is here!"

Wei An stood up from the dragon chair and took a token from the eunuch's hand, "I order you two to lead three thousand forbidden troops out of the palace, secretly break through the enemy army, and meet the Gyeonggi camp." ”

When his eyes wandered between Wei Xian and Wei Chimu, he finally handed over the token to Yu Chimu. "This is a token to mobilize 100,000 troops in the Gyeonggi battalion, King Xinling, you take the token to assist the prince, and order the Gyeonggi battalion to defeat the rebels and capture the traitor Zhang Qing, there must be no mistake!"

said that he asked Wei Chimu to assist the crown prince, but in fact, he handed over the power to one of his ministers, which made Wei Xian unhappy, but he only dared to be angry and did not dare to speak, and frowned in anger.

The situation was urgent, Wei Chi Mu received the token, and together with Wei Xian, he led the three thousand forbidden troops from the North Palace Gate and ran directly to the North City Gate.

The North Gate leads directly to the Gyeonggi camp, and at the same time, the siege of the rebels is also concentrated here, so it is easier to break through the siege from the South Gate, but in this way, it will take nearly two hours to go around, and the current situation cannot withstand the delay, and the only way to do it is to move dangerously.

There was chaos outside, with the sound of swords clashing and the screams of the people one after another, but there was silence in the palace of the king of Xinling.

Scarlet Smoke stood under the porch, looking at the fire in the distance, uneasy and unable to be at peace. Wei Chimu had already arranged everything before entering the palace, the palace was heavily guarded, and it was impregnable, no matter how chaotic it was outside, it would not interfere here. Scarlet Yan was not worried about the safety of the palace, she was worried about Wei Chimu, who was ordered to quell the rebellion.

Wei Chi Mu can fight well and is brave, so she doesn't need to worry too much, but the problem is that there is Wei Xian with her.

Wei Xian has always regarded Wei Chi Mu as a thorn in his side, and he can't wait to get rid of it quickly, and Scarlet Yan is worried that he will take this opportunity to plot against Yu Chi Mu.

After thinking about it, Scarlet Yan still couldn't sit still, and decided to go out of the house to find Yu Chimu. As soon as he left the courtyard, he was stopped by wood and fire.

Mu said solemnly: "Madam, the prince has instructed before leaving, you can't leave the palace for half a step. Please go back! ”

Scarlet Yan knew that this was out of consideration for her personal safety, and now that there was chaos outside, she shouldn't have gone out to join in the fun as a woman, but she was restless in her heart, and she always felt that something was going to happen, and she couldn't rest assured.

"I'm going to find the prince, I'm afraid he's in danger."

Huo persuaded and explained: "Madame underestimates the prince, the prince has experienced a hundred battles, and there are not a few times when he wins more with less, and he has never suffered defeat, although the situation is dangerous now, it is not as good as one-ten-thousandth of the time in the battlefield, the prince will be able to deal with it freely, Mrs. rest assured." ”

Scarlet Yan shook his head and said: "I'm not questioning the ability of the prince, if it's just against the rebels, I don't believe there is any problem, but there is also a Wei Xian by his side, and the open gun is easy to dodge and the dark arrow is difficult to defend." ”

Wood and Fire looked at each other suddenly, then at Crimson.

"Madame is saying that the crown prince will be bad for the prince?"

"Wei Xian is narrow-minded, Su Ri was overshadowed by the prince, he already hates him to the bone, and wants to get rid of him, today is a great opportunity."

Mu and Huo woke up suddenly, and couldn't help but be shocked, in this way, the prince's situation is indeed dangerous. However, the prince instructed that no matter what, he could not let the lady out of the palace.

Mu said: "Thanks to Madame's suggestion, his subordinates and Huo will take someone to answer the prince, and ask Madame to stay in the house and wait." ”

"No, I must go in person, otherwise I can't rest assured." Scarlet Smoke looked resolute, exuding an undeniable momentum on his body.

Huo pleaded solemnly: "But madam, the situation outside is chaotic, in case something happens to you, and your subordinates can't explain to the prince, please don't embarrass us." ”

However, Scarlet Smoke has made up his mind and will not change. "Since you don't want to take me with you, then I'll go alone."

Wood and Fire had no choice but to compromise, and quietly left the house with a team of cavalry and rushed out of the city.

Under the leadership of Yu Chi Mu, the forbidden army in the palace finally broke through the encirclement of the rebels before dawn, successfully joined up with the Gyeonggi camp troops, and captured the North City Gate.

The Gyeonggi battalion was attacked by the rebels, and there were many casualties, and only 80,000 of the 100,000 troops remained. And the rebels have more than 100,000 in total, and this is still a tough battle, not easy to fight.

Wei Chimu has been on the battlefield for many years, and he is well versed in the way of using soldiers, although this is not on the battlefield, but there is no difference in nature, plus his own martial arts are strong, with one enemy ten, leading a group of soldiers to kill the enemy, along the way, it took not long to destroy more than half of the rebels.

Zhang Qing had been hiding behind him, and when he learned that his army had lost more than half of it, he had to personally go into command and confront the army led by Wei Chimu in a valley hundreds of miles away from the city gate of Kyoto.

The faint sunlight slanted into the valley and fell in front of the two armies.

On horseback, Wei Chi Mu was dressed in armor and wore a dark cloak on his shoulders, and looked at Zhang Qing, the leader of the rebel army opposite, with a grim expression, and his loud voice penetrated the valley: "Zhang Qing, your people have been slaughtered, and only the remnants of less than 10,000 soldiers behind you are defeated, and you have no way to retreat!" Your Majesty, if you are captured and let your people abandon their armor and surrender, perhaps your clansmen and the concubines in the palace will be spared death! ”

Wei Xian, who was side by side with Wei Chimu, frowned and looked over, and said coldly: "King Xinling pretended to pass on His Majesty's will, I'm afraid it's not very good, right?" ”

The corners of Yu Chimu's lips rose slightly, and said, "The prince misunderstood." Zhang Qing conspired to rebel, although he committed a capital crime, but if he abandoned his armor and surrendered now, it could be regarded as a lost way. After all, his family has never been involved, in the end he is innocent, just as this king just said, His Majesty is holy and kind, and this king is not talented, and he thinks that His Majesty will not kill them all and give the rest of the Zhang family a way to live. ”

Wei Chimu said this, of course, not for the Zhang family, but for the soldiers behind him and Zhang Qing, if they fight to the end, they are destined to suffer heavy casualties, then there will be tens of thousands of more bones and tens of thousands of families broken.

Although they stood in the camp of the rebels, most of them were involuntary and not voluntary, and it was really not worth dying for Zhang Qing. Wei Chi Mu is indifferent by nature and is used to treating many things coldly, but he has a different attitude towards soldiers, which is the feeling he cultivated in the military camp in his early years for nearly ten years.

Wei Xian smiled coldly and stopped talking, he was secretly planning in his heart now, just as Scarlet Yan was worried about, he wanted to take the opportunity to let Yu Chimu be buried in this valley. If Wei Chi Mu died here, Wei Xian could not only blame it on the rebels, but also be able to monopolize the credit, and go back to receive the merit and ask for a reward, which would have no disadvantage for him.

At the other end, Zhang Qing laughed loudly and said sharply: "Surrender? I have come this far, how can the emperor let go of the Zhang family? King Xinling don't want to fool people, not to mention that I still have 10,000 people, even if I am the only one left, I will resist to the end! ”

When Wei Xian heard this, he couldn't help but mock: "It seems that the prince has a heart, but people don't appreciate it. ”

Wei Chimu was too lazy to deal with Wei Xian, and continued to persuade: "Zhang Qing, you have already been defeated, the decline is unstoppable, no matter how stalemate you are, it will only increase the blood, the hundreds of thousands of soldiers who followed you have already spilled the blood of Kyoto City, so many people have died because of you, don't you feel the slightest guilt?" Your children and grandchildren could have enjoyed a life of fine clothes and food in this prosperous world, but now they are imprisoned because of you, waiting for death, and your grandson, who has just learned to walk, has only recently come to this world, and is about to go to the execution ground at an ignorant age, how can you bear it? The Zhang family is a hundred-year-old family, prosperous for many years, and it is buried in your hands, don't you have any repentance at all? ”

Wei Chimu's words pierced Zhang Qing's heart, and Zhang Qing suddenly appeared sad, and his mind was a little trance. He's not ruthless, he's just obsessed with it.

Seeing this, Wei Xian secretly shouted that it was not good, if Wei Chimu persuaded Zhang Qing, this last battle would not be fought, and his plan would not be implemented. Absolutely not!

Just as Zhang Qing was doing ideological struggle, Wei Xian suddenly drew his sword and said loudly: "Zhang Qing is a traitor, you rebelled, causing misery to the souls, and his crime should be punished, hundreds of lives of the Zhang family died because of you, and Zhang Guifei has also been given poisoned wine to die in the palace, this is all thanks to you!" You have sinned so much that you deserve to be cut by a thousand knives! ”
