Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Battle of Zhangtai Palace
Hu Liao's explanation made those who participated in the battle against the Bai clan in the Wolf Mountain Pass, including Dong Deyong, look very difficult to look at. That incident, for Dong Deyong, was a shame that he didn't want to mention for the rest of his life. Afterwards, when he learned that only the woman was a strong grandmaster that day, and the kid who scared himself and others away was just a second-turn warrior, Dong Deyong, who regretted it, wanted to slap himself to death with one palm.
As if sensing the emotions of Dong Deyong and the others, Hu Liao walked up to Dong Deyong with a smile and said to him: "Patriarch Dong doesn't have to mind, now that the kid has arrived in the imperial capital, it is a good opportunity for you to be able to get rid of your shame." Don't worry, even if that Grandmaster powerhouse follows, we don't have to be afraid. ”
Saying that, Hu Liao looked at Ye Yangzhou behind him and introduced to everyone: "Everyone, this Mr. Ye is the strong reinforcement that the old man recently invited, and Mr. Ye is also a person who has advanced to the level of a grandmaster powerhouse. Therefore, everyone does not need to worry about a strong grandmaster. ”
Hearing Hu Liao's introduction, everyone unconsciously looked at Ye Yangzhou, and there was more awe in their eyes. However, they didn't know that in fact, this Ye Yangzhou was very bitter in his heart at this time.
He knew which blue crystal had always been an inseparator, following Bai Yulu's side. With his own strength, he is not an opponent of Blue Crystal at all. If it weren't for Hu Liao's words, he would find a few nine-turn peak martial artists to cooperate with him to deal with Lan Jing, and he wouldn't have killed Hu Liao's troubled waters.
With the appearance of Ye Yangzhou, the anger among them suddenly rose. With the help of the Grandmaster's powerhouse, coupled with the fact that there are many people on their side, even if all the black-clothed guards are dispatched, they have nothing to fear now.
The atmosphere was mobilized, and Hu Liao turned to Zhao Jun, who was much weaker than in the town, and said, "Zhao Gongzi, let's go now and go and pick up your future wife!" ”
Zhaojun nodded, and said with a smile on his face: "Where is Prime Minister Lao, but I heard that Princess Wei'er gave birth to a beautiful country, and she has long wanted to kiss Fangze!" ”
Although Hu Liao looked down on this waste in his heart, he still smiled because of the face of the Zhao clan: "From now on, she will be your person, and everything will not be up to you?" ”
As he spoke, he took the lead in heading towards the Zhangtai Palace on Wuming Mountain. Hu Liao didn't notice that when he was talking to Zhaojun, their words made Dong Deyong and other old clan powerhouses of Lei Qin Kingdom look gloomy. However, now that they have boarded Huliao's thief ship, they can only follow helplessly and walk towards Zhangtai Palace.
Ying Hongyi had just received a report from the non-commissioned officer on duty, and there were suddenly more people coming to the Black Wolf Legion station under the mountain. Therefore, he hurriedly felt above the palace gate and wanted to observe the situation of the Black Wolf Legion's station.
However, what shocked him was that not long after he climbed the mountain, a torch gathered into a fire dragon, winding in the direction of Zhangtai Palace. From the number of torches, Ying Hongyi can see that there are not a few people coming, and it should be a large army.
"Beat the drums of battle, and all the forbidden troops are ready to fight!"
Ying Hongyi looked at the army that was coming towards the mountain, and ordered to the soldiers around him in a deep voice.
"Boom! Boom! Boom! ”
The dull sound of drums sounded in the Zhangtai Palace in Wuming Mountain, and the Zhangtai Palace, which was originally quiet at night, suddenly became noisy. The chamberlains and maids in the palace ran around in panic like headless flies. The strict ranks of the forbidden army came out of the barracks, and the blades that flashed with cold light surged towards the head of the palace gate like a jungle.
In the courtyard of the Hongzong Palace, three figures suddenly flashed out and stood in front of the main hall. The three old commanders of the forbidden army looked in the direction of the palace gate with ugly faces, and one of them said: "Could it be that Hu Liao wants to do something to Zhangtai Palace?" ”
The other two, both of them, shook their heads worriedly and did not speak.
"The three commanders don't have to worry, even if Hu Liao personally leads a large army here, they can't do anything to us!"
Suddenly, a crisp voice came from inside the main hall, which made the faces of the three old commanders show a look of surprise and joy.
Under the city head of the palace gate, Huliao and they have appeared. Halfway up the mountain, Hu Liao had already heard the battle drums of the Zhangtai Palace. Although he was already sure in his heart, when the Zhangtai Forbidden Army put on a posture of facing the battle, Hu Liao couldn't help but feel a little nervous in his heart.
"Commander Hongyi, the old man is Prime Minister Hu Liao, on the orders of the king, I came to greet Princess Wei'er, and I also ask you to withdraw the forbidden army and open the palace gate!"
Ying Hongyi smiled coldly and said to Hu Liao: "Prime Minister, to welcome Princess Wei'er, do you need to use the Black Wolf Legion and these old clans?" In addition, since it is by order of the king, I ask you to give an order. Don't tell me, it's the king's dictation this time! ”
For Ying Hongyi, saying this was already within Hu Liao's expectations. Therefore, he didn't want to go on with nonsense, and said bluntly to Ying Hongyi: "Commander Hongyi, if you don't open the palace gate, the old man can only offend." Princess Wei'er will marry Feng Chu Kingdom, this is a matter of the imperial capital, if you force it again, the old man will judge you for treason! ”
"Haha!" Ying Hongyi suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed: "Hu Liao, you are not afraid of the wind when you speak, and you will flash your tongue." Can you, a foreign minister, even a prime minister, condemn me for the forbidden army? Don't forget, this commander is a close branch of the Gong clan, and only the most innocent of the clan can be said by the old commander of the clan. Hum! Hu Liao, this commander asks you, has the king been harmed by you! ”
As soon as Ying Hongyi's words came out, not only the forbidden army in the palace was shocked, but even the old clans on the Huliao side were also very shocked. Although they knew that Hu Liao could influence the king's decision, if he really harmed the king, it would cause the entire Lei Qin Kingdom to shake.
With Hu Liao's current power, it is impossible to have a chance to replace the entire Gong clan. Then, these old clansmen will also be convicted of rebellion. Once they thought of the safety of their clan, these old clan powerhouses, including Dong Deyong, all retreated.
Hu Liao didn't realize that Ying Hongyi's words had already broken the hearts of the people he had gathered, and he argued forcefully: "The king's affairs, it's not your turn to ask a general of the palace, hurry up and open the palace gate, otherwise the old man will order an attack!" ”
"Bold Huliao! If you dare to be presumptuous in the palace, you will be told to quarrel and exterminate the clan! ”
An old voice suddenly came out leisurely from the palace, which surprised everyone behind Hu Liao.
Hu Liao was also shocked, but he couldn't see the person who spoke coming out, and he shouted and asked: "Who is pretending to be a ghost here, and he still doesn't let the prime minister get out!" ”
"Dong Deyong, this commander now gives you old clans a chance, and leave immediately with the people of your clan, otherwise don't blame the old man for being ruthless."
The old man's voice sounded again, and Ying Hongyi could already hear it, this was a few old commanders of the forbidden army in the Hongzong Palace, and it seemed that they were coming out.
After Dong Deyong heard Ying Zhen's name, his body trembled unconsciously, and he said to himself in shock: "Is Ying Zhen still alive?" No way? ”
Hu Liao didn't know who Ying Zhen was, but he could only judge from his name that he was the leader of the Gong clan. Therefore, he didn't take this Ying Zhen to heart, waved his hand back, and said sharply to Ying Yao: "Commander Ying Yao, order the Black Wolf Legion to attack!" ”
After hearing Hu Liao's order, Ying Yao, who didn't understand what was happening, followed the order and immediately ordered his Black Wolf Legion to start casting feather arrows at the city.
At the beginning of the war, no matter what the Black Wolf Legion said, they were the elite of the periphery of the imperial capital, and they were relatively numerous, so the attack on the Zhangtai Palace was not only quite powerful, but also constantly approaching the palace gate.
Seeing that the Black Wolf Legion began to attack the palace gate, Hu Liao changed his smiling face, turned to the strong man invited behind him and said, "Everyone, now I have to trouble you to make a move and catch Win Hongyi in the city." As long as he is caught, the palace forbidden army will no longer have any resistance. ”
However, Hu Liao was only halfway through his words before he stopped. Because, at this time, he realized that the strong men of Dong Deyong's old clan all had a frightened look, and there was a tendency to evacuate immediately.
Seeing their appearance, Hu Liao's heart also chuckled. There must be something that frightened these old guys, and they unconsciously asked Dong Deyong nervously: "Patriarch Dong, I don't know if you found something abnormal?" ”
Dong Deyong's face was in disbelief and frightened, and he shook his head at Hu Liao and said, "Let the Black Wolf Legion stop!" If we attract the forbidden army of the imperial capital, we will all have to fall here today! ”
Hu Liao listened to Dong Deyong's words, his heart relaxed, and he couldn't help but have some contempt for Dong Deyong. However, he said comfortingly: "Patriarch Dong is too worried, the imperial capital forbidden army cannot open the imperial capital without the king's order." Moreover, now that the king has no time to pay attention to this, he should be enjoying family fun with the enchantress and the new crown prince now! ”
Hu Liao's words to Dong Deyong made him feel very helpless. Also, Hu Liao actually didn't know the situation of Lei Qin at all, and the person who could really mobilize the forbidden army was actually not the king, but the successive commanders of the forbidden army. They belong directly to the elder commander of the princely family, and at critical moments, they will not act according to the king's orders at all. Therefore, all the successive commanders of the forbidden army were the sons of the close branches of the clan who ordered the lives of the elders.
"Prime Minister, what is really scary is not the Ying Hongyi you saw, but the Ying Zhen who spoke just now. He was the former commander of the Forbidden Army. If he makes a move, I am afraid that the imperial capital forbidden army will immediately come out and surround the entire Wuming Mountain. At that time, even if you can come up with the king's decree, it will not be useless. Because, they will not follow orders at all, they will only obey the orders of the commander of the forbidden army! ”
Dong Deyong was helpless, so he could only think of Hu Liao to explain things.
However, although Hu Liao was moved and shocked, he didn't believe Dong Deyong's words, and thought that he was resigned, so he found such an excuse.
