[800โ small รท said โ.], wonderful free reading without pop-ups!
In the palace of Western Chu, Emperor Xichu's face was gloomy and furious.
"Bastard, what a bastard, this damn Nalan Night, really dare to disobey!" He paced back and forth with his hands down, like an anxious ant in a hot pot, his forehead was already bursting with green tendons, and he kept beating suddenly.
The ground has long been in shambles, all kinds of things that have been overturned and smashed by Emperor Xichu, tea, porcelain, paper...... The mess of being trampled on proves how long this anger has been burning. The palace maids and eunuchs who were waiting next to them had already knelt on the ground, trembling, and they didn't dare to come out, for fear that the angry Emperor of Western Chu would lose their lives.
The eunuch who delivered the message knelt on the ground, next to the smashed fold, already stained with tea.
This eunuch was also shocked, and he didn't even dare to raise his head, remembering the scene when Emperor Xichu saw the fold just now, it was almost like the sky was about to fall.
Nalan Ye, the king of Chu, was not missing, let alone injured, although he returned to Beijing, he did not come directly to see him according to the orders of Emperor Western Chu. Instead...... Intending to snatch the princess of Chu? There is no need to think deeply about the reason behind this, everyone can see that the King of Chu really wants to rebel!
"Nalan Ye, I treat you well, you dare to betray me!" Emperor Xichu was gloomy, and he didn't know how to vent his anger at all. He really wanted to kill people, kill Nalan Ye, and kill Luo Qingluan, the woman who bewitched Nalan Ye. At the beginning, he simply looked at the wrong person, and he mistakenly believed these two dog men and women!
Waiting cautiously next to him, there was also Song Qian, the secretary of the military department who reported the matter.
The people on the jade side are different, but he is frightened on the surface and excited inside.
Nalan Ye, the king of Chu, who has always been loyal and trusted, actually put all the people of Western Chu together, which is really the opposite! Hahahaha, he almost wanted to laugh maniacally. No matter how Emperor Xichu scolded him if he was angry, he listened to it with great joy anyway and was secretly happy.
Nalan Ye has occupied the supreme position for seven or eight years, and he has completely nullified his right as the secretary of the military department. Although he is in charge of the transfer of troops in various places, the appointment of military officials, including grain, grass and armaments, etc., but over the years, what kind of thing did Emperor Xichu not ask Nalan Ye first, and then let him do it?
He is simply in vain and has no power, what is the point of such a military secretary?
It's just that Song Qian has never shown it, whether it is to Nalan Ye's polite flattery, or to absolutely obey the orders of Emperor Xichu, he can't see that he has been dissatisfied for many years. After all, Nalan Ye has been in the limelight in the past few years, and no one can stop him, and it is not at all that he can be compared with a military department secretary who was once a general under Nalan Ye.
Finally, after enduring it for several more years, until today, it was finally Song Qian's turn to have a good opportunity.
He didn't expect that Nalan Ye would rebel!
"Your Majesty, please calm your anger." Song Qian suppressed his excited heart, and while persuading, he added fuel to the fire: "Since the King of Chu refused to be summoned to the palace, he forcibly broke into the palace of the King of Chu, intending to take away the princess of Chu, which shows that the King of Chu's intentions are vicious and definitely intended to rebel." Now that Your Majesty's safety is important, the safety of the capital is important, and the rivers and mountains of Western Chu are important, please ask Your Majesty to make an order quickly to arrest Nalan Ye. โ
At the end, he also added heavily: "Killing is the perfect plan!" โ
Every word echoed in the mind of Emperor Xichu, and his face twitched, constantly thinking about the consequences of Nalan Ye's rebellion.
The entire 150,000 army is under the control of Nalan Ye, this is on the surface, and I don't know how many forces are under his control secretly, after all, Nalan Ye's military achievements are great, and his prestige in the army even surpasses that of him as an emperor. Once he really raised the flag to rebel, he couldn't imagine how long he could resist.
No, he must not let go of Nalan Ye, while he is still dragging a woman tonight, and his mobility is inconvenient, he must arrest Nalan Ye as soon as possible and completely solve this big problem.
At this moment, a eunuch came in cautiously and said in a panic: "Your Majesty, Lord Sun asks to see you, there is ...... There is an urgent report. โ
Soon, a middle-aged man wearing light armor with a solemn expression walked in. Emperor Xichu turned his head abruptly and shouted, "Sun Lie, tell me quickly, is it that Nalan Ye has rebelled?" What is and what is the current situation in the city? This was what he was most nervous about, and he didn't even think about it, he opened his mouth and asked.
Sun Lie was startled and shook his head like a rattle: "Back to Your Majesty, the King of Chu led his men to kill countless forbidden troops, and the entire capital has been in turmoil. The minister, together with Lord He of Jing Zhaoyin, has sent people to maintain law and order to prevent Xiaoxiao from taking the opportunity to make trouble. Moreover, the minister has just received information that the princess of Chu has indeed appeared, and has been taken away by the king of Chu, and the minister has ordered people to surround and suppress the whole city and search everywhere. โ
"Actually appeared? Sure enough, Luo Qingluan and Nalan Ye have betrayed me and rebelled! In an instant, Emperor Xichu seemed to have aged ten years old, and even his voice was much lower. As soon as he thought of Nalan Ye's heavy army, if he really rebelled, he was only afraid of his Xichu country......
was a little in a trance, but Sun Lie glanced at Song Qian, the secretary of the military department next to him, and the two quickly exchanged glances, and then said: "Your Majesty, the minister still has to report the matter, if it comes quickly, he may be able to catch the king of Chu......"
"What, can you still catch Nalan Night?" When Emperor Xichu heard this, it was like a candle lit in the night, and he had a glimmer of hope, and immediately said: "Tell me quickly, what's the matter?" โ
"Before entering the palace, Weichen received a message sent by the five princes, he has already controlled Nalan Ye's retreat route, as long as His Majesty mobilizes the soldiers and horses of the five cities and all the forbidden troops, he will definitely be able to capture Nalan Ye before he escapes from the capital."
didn't think about it at all, as long as he could catch Nalan Ye and kill him, Emperor Xichu would do whatever it takes.
"Then what are you waiting for, hurry up!" Emperor Xichu immediately said: "Sun Feng, I have ordered you to be fully responsible for this matter, and all the troops of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division are at your disposal." and Song Qian......" He turned his head to look at the military department Shangshu who was kneeling in front of him: "You immediately command all the forbidden troops, and the whole city will capture Nalan Ye and Luo Qingluan, and you must not let go of anyone in the Chu Palace." Anyone who dares to harbor will be killed, and the whole family will be beheaded. โ
"Yes, Your Majesty." Sun Feng and Song Qian immediately said and took the order.
Out of the main hall, Song Qian and Sun Feng discussed for a while, and asked him with some doubts: "Commander Sun, could it be that the five princes have really mastered the whereabouts of the King of Chu?" He and Sun Feng were both dissatisfied with Nalan Ye, and they each took refuge in other forces, but what was the other party's backer and what he did, but he didn't reveal it to each other.
Sun Feng smiled faintly, and said: "Lord Song, this matter is absolutely true, as for whether it is the information of the Fifth Prince, as long as Your Majesty believes it, what do you care?" For today's plan, as long as we catch Nalan Ye, we will be a great achievement, not to mention the glory and wealth, maybe we can go one step further. โ
Both of them are already extremely popular ministers, and if they want to go one step further, needless to say what it is, Song Qian also knows it. Since the other party refuses to say, then there is no way, and he also has his own hole cards in his hand. Smiling, the two left each other and went their separate ways.
This capital has changed a lot, I am afraid that the situation will change a lot in a quarter of an hour, if you want to win the final victory, it depends on whose luck is good, and you can start quickly.
At the same time, just when the impostor pretending to be Nalan Ye and Xu Lian, who was also pretending to be Luo Qingluan, were about to flee the capital and go to the north of the city to join Han Xun, although he ran fast, there were chasing soldiers along the way, and there was no place to hide at all. But after only two streets, he was discovered.
A group of city soldiers patrolling with torches had already spotted the impostor, and pointed to the figure above the roof and shouted: "Look, Nalan Night, King of Chu!" Come on, surround me, and I must not let them escape. At the sound of the order, two or three hundred city soldiers rushed out from the surroundings, surrounding the entire nearby street, and the water could not be passed.
didn't know that what he found was just an impostor, and the commander of the city soldiers shouted: "Nalan Ye, King of Chu, this official reads that you were also the god of war in Western Chu before, and you have meritorious service for the country, as long as you let go of the princess of Chu, the two of them will be captured, and this official may be able to ask for a favor for your majesty, and the death penalty can be avoided." โ
This is simply nonsense, let alone an impostor, even Xu Lian doesn't believe it. How can a mere commander of a city soldier interfere with the orders of Emperor Western Chu?
Xu Lian just wanted to follow the impostors and hurry up to find out their ultimate goal when they got to the ground, so she didn't want to waste time with this commander: "Nalan Ye, let's not believe him, let's leave quickly." โ
This is also the idea of an impostor, and no matter how pretending he is, he will not be stupid enough to believe such a thing. Pointing down, he hugged Xu Lian, lifted the black big coat behind him, revealing a majestic look: "Just a few people, just want to stop me Nalan Night?" If you don't back down, don't blame me for being rude. โ
He had already received Sun Feng's order, and when the commander saw that the situation was not good, he immediately said: "The king of Chu resisted the decree and intended to rebel, His Majesty has an order, and he will be killed." Archers, shoot me. โ
As soon as the words fell, there were immediately city soldiers holding white feather arrows and longbows, and the bows were full like the moon in an instant, and they were aimed at the two people on the roof one by one, and they released the arrows without hesitation.
Whoosh ......
Arrows are like rain, fast as lightning, the imposter looks at it, his eyelids jump, and he raises his hand to dance the long sword in his hand without revealing the dripping water, and splashing water without entering. There was a clanging sound, and countless arrows fell on the roof of the house, like rain, and it was a layer of rain in a moment.
Xu Lian's face was a little pale, but she was quite calm. Fortunately, she has good martial arts, although she has always pretended not to know, but she has also given herself some confidence. If she was really an ordinary woman, I was afraid that she would have been scared and speechless.
"Qingluan, are you alright?" In the face of such danger, the imposter did not forget to disguise Nalan Ye and give her a concern.
Sure enough, she pretended to be good, Xu Lian scolded her belly, and immediately recalled Luo Qingluan's way of life, how she should be empathetic at this time. She smiled in front of her and said, "It's okay, Nalan Ye, you have to be careful." โ
The commander of the city soldiers didn't know that these two target figures were fake, and the order he got was that as long as he saw Nalan Ye or Luo Qingluan, if he couldn't catch the living ones, it didn't matter if they were dead.
Seeing that the arrows released were all blocked by 'Nalan Ye', he was even more shocked by the other party's martial arts, and shouted in shock: "Release the arrows and release the arrows!" Shoot them to death for your own officer, and if you let them go, you don't want to live. โ
Whoosh ......
More arrows came intensively, and the imposter was trapped on the roof, the target was obvious, not to mention that he had to protect a 'Luo Qingluan', and after a while, he couldn't stand it anymore. can't stop, even if he tries to make Luo Qingluan hurt a little, he has to break out.
"Qingluan, be careful, close your eyes, I'll take you out." If you are concerned, you still have to say it, the imposter hugged Xu Lian's medicine tightly, and on tiptoe, the bell of the long sword dance in his hand rattled, like a black cloud, and forcibly rushed out.
"Nalan is running away at night, chase!" Countless city soldiers shouted behind him, and the sound of killing shook the sky.
In the distance, Luo Qingluan, who was protected by Yuan Xing, had already changed into black clothes and hid in a room and watched nervously.
"It's not good, Xu Lian is in danger, Yuan Xing, are there enough people we sent?" Luo Qingluan asked.
Before the words fell, her eyes widened suddenly, and she saw that in the firelight in front of her, the figure of the imposter fell suddenly, and landed in an instant, and she didn't know if he was hit by an arrow or Xu Lian was hit by an arrow.
