Sima Li confirmed the authenticity of the letter, and hurriedly settled the army, sending a spy battalion to send a letter to Guguan to pay close attention to the movements outside the pass. Sima Li had already regarded the three of Ruyi as guests.

"The three of you won't be staying for a few more days?" Sima Li asked earnestly.

"General Sima, you're welcome, the big thing hasn't been accomplished, and we have to rush back to the capital to help His Highness. When you return to the capital one day, let's have a good drink. Pang Juan said proudly.

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say, three of you are careful on the road." Sima Li arched his hand and said, and ordered someone to lead the horses of the three people over, and handed over the dry food prepared for the three of them.

Then he turned to Ruyi and arched his hand, "I also want to ask Gongzi to help me bring a good one to His Highness, and help me explain to His Highness, I am also anxious for a while." ”

Ruyi also replied seriously: "General Sima don't worry, His Highness will thank you for your loyalty." ”

Pang Juan felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, and reminded ungloriously: "Let's hurry up." ”

Without the ties of people from all walks of life, the journey of the three of them back to Dadu was much smoother.

The sky in the capital city of Anyi was overcast and the weather was a little hot, and there were rolling dark clouds sweeping towards this long-arid land, and a real heavy rain was quietly brewing since the beginning of summer.

At this time, Ling Huyuan had already camped ten miles away from the capital, and he did not reveal the slightest trace of Wei Poppy's whereabouts.

Du Yi reported to Ling Huyuan outside the big tent, "According to the investigation, the people and horses on that road seem to be from the Zhao Kingdom, and they are quite secretive, and they can't be completely sure." Ling Huyuan frowned and didn't say a word, but his heart passed through some old things of his predecessors, and he was inexplicably a little uneasy.

Seeing that Linghu was far from speaking, Du Yi took out a secret letter from his arms, "General, the secret letter of the Second Highness." ”

Ling Huyuan quickly opened the secret letter sealed by fire paint, and a line of small letters on it read: "Quickly lead the troops to meet in my palace." After reading it, Ling Huyuan immediately ordered: "Du Yi, you quickly go and select a thousand elite soldiers to divide into two teams, and follow me into the palace in a while." ”

Ling Huyuan turned around and walked into the tent, handed the secret letter to Wei Poppy, walked to the hanger where the armor was hung, and began to put on the armor, ready to go out.

"Wei Shu is about to start moving." Wei Poppy said word by word, with a faint excitement in his voice.

"Your Highness, I selected a thousand elite soldiers to divide into two teams according to the original plan, and after a while, I will take five hundred people into the palace first to stabilize Wei Huan, and His Highness will take the remaining five hundred people to rush to meet me." Ling Huyuan said calmly.

"Is there a small number of people?" Wei Poppy had some doubts.

"Your Highness, rest assured, the garrison camp on the outskirts of the city may not necessarily be all from His Royal Highness." Ling Huyuan said confidently.

"Alright, let's go!" Wei Poppy put aside his worries and ordered.

"No, the last general will not fail in his mission." Linghu Yuan hugged his fists and bowed his hand, and responded with a half-salute.

Ling Huyuan took five hundred men and horses, held a big banner with the word Yuan, and walked to the palace in a high-profile manner. The city gates were wide open, and Ling Huyuan easily entered the capital, and the doors and windows of the shops in the market were closed, and there was no one on the streets. In a short time, five hundred people came to the palace gate.

The palace gate had already been opened waiting for them to enter, and five hundred people drove straight into the Wuhou dormitory, outside the palace had already been strictly guarded by the guards, and the silver armor and iron knives were brushed, and there were crossbowmen and crossbowmen at the bow and arrows at the distance. Seeing Ling Huyuan's arrival, the guards lined up on both sides, and Ling Huyuan took some people into the main hall, leaving some people to stand in a circle around the periphery of the guards.

In the dormitory, I only heard my uncle shouting hysterically: "Wei Shuan, you are rebelling, killing the king and killing your father." ”

"Prime Minister, you are resourceful in vain, why did you just see it?" Wei said in a gloomy voice, holding a bowl of decoction and medicine and slowly walking towards the side of the collapse.

Wu Hou was already awake, staring at his cloudy eyes, raised his right hand tremblingly, pointed at him, and said breathlessly: "You...... You ...... Unfilial son. "I was excited and fainted.

"Father, how can you say that, I also hope that you will not be so painful, I am not here to feed you medicine in person." Wei said with a smile, but it sounded creepy.

"Mr. Yan, hurry, stop him." Uncle Yan shouted at no wonder if he would reveal his identity as the manager.

Manager Yan stood on the edge of the collapse and said calmly: "Prime Minister, you are too worried. The Second Highness is just here to serve the king. ”

Uncle Gong was completely dumbfounded, what is the situation, is it necessary to disguise his identity at this time. "It's time for Mr. Yan, and you still ......," Uncle Yan said anxiously.

"Prime Minister, I think you have misunderstood." Mr. Yan said indifferently. At this time, Uncle Yan realized that Mr. Yan did not pretend to be a shrill flattering voice, so it was not that he was afraid of revealing his identity, but that there was a problem with his identity. Uncle Gong immediately broke out in a cold sweat.

Wei Shu laughed out loud after listening to their conversation.

It was this scene that Ling Huyuan saw when he came in, and he looked at this manager Yan and secretly speculated in his heart, I don't know how much he knows about his current position, but it is better to strike first.

"General Linghu, you're finally here, and you almost missed a good show." Wei smiled and beckoned to Ling Huyuan.

Uncle Gong saw that Ling Huyuan was almost out of breath, and finally gasped for breath, pointed at Ling Huyuan and scolded: "You rebellious thief." ”

Ling Huyuan said with concern: "Prime Minister be careful. ”

Uncle Gong thought that Ling Huyuan said the opposite, and he was so angry that he almost turned his back on it.

Ling Huyuan walked to Wei Xuan's side quietly. Wei Xuan half-squatted down with the medicine bowl and approached Wuhou, "Haha, General Linghu, you see that our great cause is just around the corner." "He looked a little crazy.

Linghu was far from responding, but someone outside the hall responded: "Are you sure it's a great cause, not a big limit?" ”

Wei Poppy walked into the hall with a solemn expression. Uncle Gong was so happy that he couldn't say anything for a while, just gestured there. Wei Poppy glanced at his uncle soothingly, and then turned his head to look at Wei Xuan. "Second brother, do you really want to do this?" Wei Poppy asked seriously.

"General Linghu, take him down quickly." Wei Xuan said a little nervously and a little excitedly.

Linghu was far from moving, and many guards came in from outside the door, as well as archers. Qi brushed the weapon at Wei Xuan. Wei slowly turned his head to look at Ling Huyuan in confusion.

Ling Hu Yuan didn't look at Wei Xuan, but just shouted sonorously: "Do it." ”

Outside the door, there was the sound of fighting, the sound of weapons colliding, the sound of air rubbing against arrow feathers, and the sound of killing. There was chaos outside the main hall. It took a while for the outside to calm down. A soldier covered in blood suddenly broke into the main hall, ......and before he finished speaking, he was stabbed to death by a soldier behind him with a sword. Before he died, he looked unwillingly in Wei Wan's direction.

Wei slowly gritted his teeth, his facial muscles were a little distorted, and his eyes shot towards Ling Huyuan like a flame, if his gaze could kill, Ling Huyuan would probably have been riddled with holes, "What does General Linghu mean by this?" ”

Ling Huyuan replied unhurriedly: "As you can see." ”

"Good, good." Wei slowly squeezed out a few words from between his teeth.

"Second brother, as long as you ......" Wei Poppy was interrupted by Wei Yan before he could finish speaking, "Big brother, don't be complacent too early." As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the Prime Minister shouting over there, "What are you going to do?" I saw that Manager Yan was holding a long dagger against his uncle's neck, holding him hostage and approaching Wei Huan.

No one in the hall spoke, only the Prime Minister shouted, "Who are you?" Why betray. ”

But no one answered him. Manager Yan glanced at Ling Huyuan, then stared at Wei Poppy and said, "Let us go, or I'll kill him." ”

Wei Poppy took a closer look at Manager Yan, he had been in the palace for many years, and he really couldn't see any flaws in his appearance. Then I don't know who this director is. But it doesn't matter who it is now, it's definitely not your own person.

"Your Highness, leave me alone and catch this traitor." Uncle Gong shouted with righteous words.

Wei Poppy glanced at Uncle Acne, looked at Ling Huyuan again, and then said with admiration: "Manager Yan is really well-planned. Then he commanded in a deep voice, "Let them go." ”

Manager Yan hijacked Uncle Acne and took Wei Shu to withdraw outside the main hall, and more than 20 black-clothed masked men came out of the hall and guarded closely behind to protect Manager Yan's evacuation. Wei Poppy looked at the man in black behind Mr. Yan thoughtfully.

Outside the main hall, there was a sudden strong wind, and there was a rolling thunder in the sky, and it rained heavily after a while, and the raindrops of beans hit the tiles. In an instant, the sky and the earth became foggy. The blood on the ground was immediately washed away and melted into the dirt. A bloody coup d'état vanished under the rain.

After the three of them withdrew from the palace with their men and horses, they withdrew all the way to the north gate, and turned west after leaving the gate. Su Ruiqing was anxiously waiting for news from his senior brother in the western suburbs at this time, the rain wet his sideburns and ran down his cheeks, and he was already soaked in a short time.

Three days ago, the senior brother sent a message saying that whether he succeeded or not, if he did not have news by the end of the day, he would let her evacuate by herself. Seeing that the time was coming, but there was no senior brother in sight, Su Ruiqing was very anxious in her heart.

"Young master, the time ordered by the lord is coming soon, let's leave quickly." The subordinate Scud reminded him that it was the strong man who ran like the wind to report the news.

Although Su Ruiqing was very worried about her senior brother, she didn't dare to disobey her senior brother's order. Su Ruiqing took one last look at the direction of the city gate, nodded, got on his horse, pulled the reins and prepared to set off.

Suddenly, hearing the sound of horses' hooves galloping behind mixed with muddy water, Su Ruiqing turned her head and saw from a distance that the person on the horse in front was her senior brother. Although Yi Rong became a stranger's face, she still recognized it at a glance, and her senior brother was Yi Rong's head of words.

Waiting for the people behind to catch up, Su Ruiqing pulled the reins and shouted "drive", and also ran along. As he ran, he asked, "Senior brother, how is it?" ”

The senior brother didn't answer her question, but said, "I'll talk about it later." ”

A group of men and horses did not take the official road, and galloped towards a forked path. Not long after the path was reached, there was a dense wood, in which two carriages were parked and some guards dressed in ordinary costumes. The showers came and went quickly, and the rain gradually subsided, but there was still rolling thunder and aftersounds.

A group of men stopped in front of the carriage, and the senior brother at the head commanded, "Change your clothes." Saying that, he took the lead in the carriage to change his clothes and come out, and the human skin of the manager of Yan was pasted on his face before. The mask has been removed, revealing a white face, with bright eyebrows, a tall and handsome posture, with some bookish air, and it is not the scarred face before becoming the head of the word.
