Chapter 969: Fangs bared
Autumn is coming, the beginning of July in the capital is cloudy and rainy, Cha'er and Ke Yarun raised the flag for two days without being blocked, which can be called overwhelming, they decided not to force each other secretly, if they want to make trouble, they will turn the world upside down, and fight Han Zexi, the real dragon.
Flags fluttered, chariots and horses were flying, bright swords and guns reflected in the gray sky and flashed with cold light, Cha'er and Ke Yarun both wore red uniforms and silver armor, standing majestically on the high platform, inspecting the men and horses under their command.
They chanted slogans, read out the inscriptions, and demanded that Han Zexi execute the demon concubine Sa Yiluo in the name of "purging the palace and revitalizing the dynasty", and let Han Zexi, the faint monarch, abdicate, and pass it on to the eldest prince Handui, who was supervised by Ke Yajie.
This is a head-on enemy of the imperial court, and the history calls this matter "Crazy Flower Rebellion", because the mastermind is a woman, and it has been repeatedly exaggerated by later generations, but in fact it has not set off much storm.
On the fifth day of the seventh month, due to Gao Youquan's deliberate delay, Han Zexi, who was half a beat slower to react, finally made specific arrangements, with Huo Fei as the main general and Gao Youquan as the supervising army, and made every effort to quell the chaos.
Gao Youquan finally got the opportunity to establish meritorious service in the army, and without delay, he fought with all his might, quickly rescued Ke Yajie, and wiped out all the spies hidden in the palace.
On the outskirts of the capital, the rabble was defeated and retreated under the regular army, and Cha'er and Ke Yarun panicked.
Cha'er is especially unwilling, relying on his family background, and his family is in the middle; relying on men, he has been repeatedly used and despised repeatedly; Relying on nobles, the Empress Dowager has no reliability when she dies, she can only rely on herself! She enjoyed commanding thousands of troops, but unfortunately only enjoyed it for a few days, so she had to keep her power.
However, she and Ke Yarun can play conspiracy and tricks, but if they want to strategize, they can't fight with real knives and guns, they can only wait for a fiasco?
The two of them kept discussing and came up with a way, and they could ask someone to do what they couldn't do!
On the seventh day of the seventh month, the people who can come in handy and who may cooperate with them are screened, and a few people are drawn up, and they decide to invite them.
Cha'er changed into a patched coarse linen shirt and went to a ruined temple in a remote corner of the city to see Mu Xiaoxiao.
Mu Xiaoxiao, after the incident of the Huo family, she couldn't stay away because of the limitations of her body, so she didn't go with Zha Cuo, and because Huo Teng didn't want to talk more about the past, no one treated her well, so she found a place to stay and cultivate quietly.
After listening to Cha'er's explanation, Mu Xiaoxiao refused to help, the world was too complicated, she once thought she was smart and capable, but she almost lost her life, so it was better to cultivate honestly.
"Why did Cheng Haofeng become a national teacher, do you understand?" Cha'er looked left and right at the ruined temple, with a look of disgust.
"In order to get more and better cultivation resources, in order to assist Han Zexi in stabilizing the throne, in order to ......"
Cha'er sneered and interrupted her, "Cheng Haofeng is just trying to cultivate to a higher realm!" How much merit can be accumulated by doing small things that do good deeds to save others? It's much faster to improve your cultivation by relying on the merit of governing the world! "
Mu Xiaoxiao's idea of meditating and cultivating was shaken, and she asked Cha'er what was the chance of forcing Han Zexi to abdicate, and Cha'er bragged that there was an eighty-percent chance of winning.
As the saying goes, capture the thief and capture the king first, as long as Han Zexi blows up the imperial tomb without abdicating to threaten him, he will definitely be able to force him to take the throne of the great prince Han Dui, and as soon as he abdicates, no matter how strong the soldiers and horses are in other counties, they will not be able to return to the sky.
Then Han Dui was too young to be in power, Ke Yajie was the regent, so of course Ke Yarun and Cha'er could do whatever they wanted, and it was easy for Fengmu Xiaoxiao to be a national teacher.
Confused by Cha'er's bright prospects, Mu Xiaoxiao agreed to help them. With the help of mana, those soldiers who fought hard with martial arts were defeated one after another.
However, Mu Xiaoxiao's force to attack alone is okay, but it is not possible to arrange troops. They still have to find someone who can command the army, but how can the generals in the army obey their orders?
On the ninth day of the seventh month, Cha'er thought of a person who might be suitable, changed into men's clothes and went to Yunqing Courtyard to meet Kuai Lier.
Although Kuai Lier did not lead the troops to fight, she was in charge of the huge and complex Kuai family, which was not much different from the use of troops by famous generals.
After the meeting, Cha'er was not allowed to say polite words, and Kuai Lier said proudly: "Nian Zai is still an old friend, I won't arrest you and hand you over, please leave by yourself." ”
The current situation, Kuai Li'er can see it very clearly, Cha'er and they can temporarily turn defeat into victory, relying on Mu Xiaoxiao's sudden entry into the battle to fight and prevent it, and when the court gets the exact news, they will also ask the help of strangers who know magic, and they will definitely be defeated.
Now that she has seen the situation clearly, how can she still wade into this troubled water again?
Cha'er's heart was half cold, and she understood that it was difficult to achieve her goal. But she didn't want to leave in disgrace, it wasn't easy to come here, and she couldn't go home empty-handed.
"On the surface, the Kuai family is the head of Miss Kuai, but you also know that many people in the Shadow Alliance are unconvinced. Men, how can they be happy to be controlled by a yellow-haired girl? What's more, they are still a group of men who lick blood from the knife edge? "Pick out Clariel's weaknesses and maybe use them.
It has been a few years since she took over all the affairs of the Kuai family, and Kuai Lier is already a hero who responds to all the calls in the rivers and lakes, but she is not a "yellow-haired girl". was said by Cha'er, which successfully aroused her arrogance, and it will definitely show her prestige in the Kuai family!
"The Kuai family doesn't participate in this brawl, it's not that I can't command my subordinates, it's just that for the sake of the old friendship, I will have people send you good bows and arrows and machetes, but our Kuai family will not come forward directly. Jianghu people have the rules of Jianghu people, and there are too many things to participate in the DPRK and China, so the rules have to be broken. ”
Finally asked for some benefits, but Cha'er was not a person who could be sent away with a little weapon, so he slowly sipped tea and smiled secretly.
Kuailier didn't hear her words of thanks and didn't respond, looking at her in surprise, is this tea really not afraid of being arrested?
After waiting for a long time, Cha'er said very slowly: "Miss Kuai, don't you want to change from a hero in the dark to a proud hero in the open?" "
Think! Absolutely! Kua Lier laughed at herself, although the sweetness given by Cha'er was tempting enough, she would not be tempted. Because it was a picture cake, Yicha'er's ability could not succeed in forcing Han Zexi to abdicate at all.
"Aunt Chahuang, I will let the people below secretly help you deliver the news, there is only so much you can do, and you will not be completely involved. You and I know that we should have some confidence in the success of things, and stop tempting with promises that are difficult to fulfill. Clarier points out the key.
Cha'er chuckled, this Kuai Lier is much more difficult to deceive than Mu Xiaoxiao, they all say that elves and monsters are cunning and smart, but in fact, talents are the most deceiving, and they are the least easy to be deceived.
The news of the Shadow Alliance is sometimes faster than the news of the Imperial Court's horse delivery shop, and it is still very accurate, and it is very helpful to have Kua Li'er's subordinates to help deliver the news, and Cha'er is no longer cheeky to ask for other benefits.
The two armies fought, knowing themselves and knowing that they had won all battles, with Kuailier's secret help, Cha'er and Ke Yarun took the lead.
They fought hard with the blood and courage that could not be defeated, and after several battles, they occupied two hundred miles of territory around the tomb of the Empress Zhihua, formed a semi-circle of encirclement of the capital, and stabilized a few hidden piles in the palace and the city, so that the imperial court did not dare to underestimate them.
Huo Fei is good at open and closed battles, Ke Yarun sent troops to attack and disturb, and quickly returned to the imperial tomb, this kind of guerrilla warfare style made Huo Fei unable to show his ability.
Also, after pursuing to the vicinity of the Imperial Tomb, Ke Yarun and the others would use the bombing of the Imperial Tomb as a threat, so that Huo Fei had to retreat.
The tombs in the area of the imperial mausoleum are not buried in the emperors of the past dynasties, or the harem concubines, the royal family and nobles, if these people's tombs are destroyed, it is a great disrespect.
Of course, if these emperors and royal relatives knew what happened later, they would definitely want to cry without tears, right? After dying for many years and still being held hostage, should the descendants be blamed for being useless, or should the thieves be blamed for being too vicious?
Han Zexi didn't care about the ancestors in those mausoleums, but he couldn't show it, his throne had been repeatedly accused of being unjustifiable, and he couldn't be caught any longer.
You can't use brute force, and you can't really abdicate, so you have to turn to those capable people for help, as long as you catch or kill a few leading thieves, that group of rabble will definitely surrender without a fight.
I don't know what went wrong, Han Zexi thought that Gao You's all-round ability could easily defeat Mu Xiaoxiao, but he never won or lost; thought that as soon as the edict to recruit capable people was issued, there would be a cloud of applicants, but one was more modest than the other, and they all said that the mana of others was higher.
The answer to the question is actually quite simple, but Han Zexi can't see it clearly when he is in it.
Gao Youquan clearly wanted to take advantage of this matter to stabilize his position and occupy a place in the army, of course, he would not let Mu Xiaoxiao lose too quickly.
As for the other cultivators, those who understand the world do not want to offend Gao Youquan; Those who are indifferent to fame and fortune do not want to stir up disturbances; There are also some who are chilled by Cheng Haofeng and Hu Yonggang, and they are unwilling to contribute to the court anymore.
In order not to be the king of the fallen country, the helpless Han Zexi could only put down his son and personally ask the cultivators of the Bixi Palace to help.
The reason why he went to invite Qiao Chushi and them, did not invite Duan Mengrou, Cao Beidao, Fa Luo and others, who were much higher in mana and status, was that he also saw that they would not easily serve the imperial court, and in times of crisis, they were still more reliable than their former friends.
With Qiao Chushi bringing Ruan Wenyue and Zhuo Wuao to help, Huo Fei was no longer tied to the battle, and even passed on the good news.
On the ninth day of August, Ke Yarun was defeated again and fled with several cronies.
Huo Fei recovered the land around the imperial tomb, but he didn't catch Ke Yarun, and there was no trace of Cha'er, only to see Mu Xiaoxiao resisting stubbornly with his spells.
The feather sky knife suddenly came out of its sheath, and a string of cold knife shadows flashed towards Mu Xiaoxiao!
He is a registered disciple of Kutan, and he has also practiced qi and comprehended the scriptures, coupled with his strong martial arts, he does not have much spiritual power to attract the aura of heaven and earth to help, which instantly puts Mu Xiaoxiao under strong coercion.
Unexpectedly, Huo Fei would burst out with such great power, Mu Xiaoxiao stopped fighting, and after throwing his sleeves and flying out countless green leaf darts, he hurriedly flew away while the feather empty knife was blocked.
Fleeing in a panic, and unable to leave the body too far, Mu Xiaoxiao circled around the capital. Later, Qiao Chushi brought people to round her up, and it was even more difficult to escape.
Going around and around, the anger in her heart rose, it was Qiao Chushi's good thing to hurt Huo Teng before, and this time they came to make enemies of her, so she gritted her teeth with hatred for the people of Bixi Palace.
Thinking of this, Mu Xiaoxiao suddenly thought that there were cultivators in the Bixi Palace who were coming to participate in the battle, and the defense must be empty, so it was better to flee to the Bixi Palace
Hide. She would be tired if she didn't catch her breath and get caught.
As soon as she entered the Bixi Palace, sure enough, there were only a few old and sick people left, and she broke into the back guest room and didn't find her.
When I arrived in the guest room and was about to rest, I heard a scream sound, and I saw that it was Da Mei who lived here who found her!
