225. High-rise buildings are declining

No one expected the queen to take such a step.

In order to protect herself, she could even betray her biological father.

Li Mobai looked at her, looking at this woman who had never been married to him, but had also been under the same roof for five years, and his back couldn't help but feel cold.

"The father made a rebellion, and the concubine was afraid, but the concubine had to do this."

The queen burst into tears to show her loyalty, "The concubine is the daughter of the Zhu family, and she is the mother of the Qi Dynasty." When the country is in trouble, how can the concubines be left alone? Even if he is the father of the concubine, the concubine can only kill her relatives with tears. ”

Li Mobai was indifferent to her performance, and after calmly listening to her words, he sent her back to Fengluan Palace.

Three days later.

Every day on the fourth watch, there will be a water wheel from the smooth door to supply water to the palace.

The groom who pulls the cart has been doing this business for more than ten years, and he is very familiar with the guards on duty at the smooth door, so in order to save time and trouble, the two sides generally only open the curtain to see if there is anything unusual in the car, and then roughly glance at the bucket to make sure that it is filled with water and will be released.

Today, the groom came on time, dismounted outside the smooth gate, and was very enthusiastic and warmed up with the guards.

"A few masters, the weather has been hot for the past two days, and I have prepared some drinks for the little ones to pay homage to the masters."

He took out two jars of wine from the car and handed them to the guard, "You smell it, it's a good old wine." ”

The guards raised the wine jar, and the aroma of the wine overflowed, but it was undoubtedly a good wine.

They thanked the groom, and as usual, they only took a casual look at the inside of the car and the water tank.

Unlike usual, the groom seemed to be very nervous, and his eyes peeked from time to time as they checked, and his face was a little unnatural.

He breathed a sigh of relief only when he heard the guards say that everything was okay and he could let go.

He remounted his horse and tightened his grip on the reins, and when the guards opened the palace gate, he spurred his horse and ignited the explosives hidden in the innermost two water tanks, blowing up the access to the smooth door.

Unexpectedly, the moment the door opened, the guards scattered in all directions.

Behind the door, the palace man of the Water Dragon Division was holding rows of water dragons, full of water and spraying at the groom.

The groom was hit by the water bomb and fell to the ground, the horse was also frightened, and the car was completely soaked by the water dragon jet.

Dozens of secret guards flashed out of the shadows in all directions, and soon took control of the grooms and the water truck.

Chu Yuezhi entered through the city gate, lifted the sedan curtain and glanced into the innermost two covered water tanks.

Sure enough, the surface of the water tank was filled with an iron plate, on which a shallow layer of water was filled, and under the iron plate, there were two cylinders full of explosives.

The fire twist was already soaked with water, and the explosives could not be detonated.

When the groom saw that the matter had been revealed, he took out a fire fold from his cuff and blew it out of the spark, and threw it into the jar of wine that had just been given to the guards.

The wine jar is filled with high-concentration liquor, which is combustible when it meets fire.

Hidden under the liquor are 'water ghosts' with powerful explosions, which are mostly used by fishermen to go out to sea to fry fish.

Seeing the open flame, the wine jar instantly turned into two bombs, which exploded with a roar in front of the smooth door.

With a dazzling burst of fire, the two closest guards were killed on the spot, and the city gate was also blown out of a big gap, which was difficult to close.

At the moment of the explosion, I saw Zhu Hongchuan with hundreds of guards from his house, holding heavy soldiers to the gate of the palace.

The guards and secret guards were in full array to guard the city gate, and Chu Yuezhi stood at the front, staring at Zhu Hongchuan with eyes as sharp as an eagle.

"Lord Zhu wants to use the troops of hundreds of palace guards in your mansion to capture the imperial city?"

Zhu Hongchuan said disdainfully: "The old man knows that the Tiger Guard Army and the Outer Army have left Jiangdu yesterday and went to Sanchuan for military exercises. Now there are no more than 3,000 secret guards and royal forest troops left in the palace. Of course, the old man's hundred palace guards are not used to attack the city, and the besiegers have their own people. ”

He took out a firework stick from his cuff and fired it into the sky, bursting into a cloud of lilac light.

Chu Yuezhi glanced at the fireworks falling from the sky like stars, and said jokingly: "I wish my lord that he knows that his life is short, and he is setting off a cannon to celebrate?" ”

"Chu Dudu, I'm afraid you don't know yet, right? Jiangdu has long been surrounded by Shurong's heavy troops, and the old man takes this as a letter, and tens of thousands of troops will immediately send troops to attack Jiangdu and smash Huanglong! ”

When he said this, he was majestic and imposing, as if he had won the battle.

After Chu Yuezhi heard this, he applauded, "I wish the lord a good strategy, and Weichen admires it." ”

In the distance, the sound of the hooves of thousands of horses galloping from far to near, Zhu Hongchuan smiled gloomily, and said to the side of his ear: "Did the governor hear it?" This is the voice of the beginning of the dynasty and the destruction of the dynasty. ”

Chu Yuezhi was indifferent, and kept a faint smile on his face.

And Zhu Hongchuan's 'joy' did not turn into horror until he saw clearly where the sound of ten thousand horses galloping came from.

What he saw was not the Shujon army he had been waiting for for a long time.

It's the Tiger Guards in red and yellow armor!

"This ...... How so!? ”

The hundred guards he led were as worthless as mayflies shaking trees under the siege of the Tiger Guards.

Chu Yuezhi said in a deep voice: "The letter that Shurong General Wu Da wrote to you yesterday was forced by General Yao to write it when he was holding his neck with his sword. The Shurong army that you thought would rush to your aid had already been wiped out in Changzhou. And the Tiger Guards and the Outer Frontier Army that went to Sanchuan yesterday were just a cover used by the emperor to invite the king into the urn. ”

"Impossible! No way!! Zhu Hongchuan's bloodshot eyes widened, and he roared hysterically, "The old man has led the army for many years, and he has never missed a hand in the way of using soldiers!" He Li Mobai is just a yellow-mouthed child, how can he get a glimpse of the overall situation!? ”

"I wish you that the way you contact the outside world is really not clever."

Chu Yuezhi jokingly slighted his mouth, shook his head and said: "Since you blessed Zifeng and buried, you have less contact with officials, and you rush home to accompany your wife every day, all this seems reasonable, but the emperor has long been aware of your tricks." You have offended a lot of courtiers, if you still want to continue to maintain the current dignity in the Qi Dynasty, the relationship between people must be indispensable. As soon as you are abnormal, you can know that you don't care about everything in the Qi Dynasty at all, and you have the heart of collaborating with the enemy. ”

"Do you think that the secret passage that you dug out in your bedroom at home to the outside of Jiangdu City for more than ten miles is very clever? All this is in the emperor's calculations, when you dug the secret passage, when you came out of the secret passage, who you have come into contact with, the emperor knows it well. ”

Zhu Hongchuan couldn't believe that Li Mobai, who had always been mediocre and even a little incompetent, had such a detailed mind behind his back.

But the facts are in front of him, and it is not his turn to believe or not.

Chu Yue ordered: "Capture Zhu Hongchuan alive, and his palace guards will be killed on the spot!" ”
