Chapter 15 Walking in the Hosts
Uncle Chu Guo, who was guarding outside the city gate, saw that the Empress Dowager Li Jingzhi had been in for so long and had not come out, and they were afraid that things would change, after all, he and Xiao Guogong were dissatisfied with the Qing faction for a long time, so they colluded with Yan Guo, and the more time passed now, the more empty their hearts became.
So he instigated Prince Ping to arrive: "Lord, you see that the Queen Mother has been in for so long, and there is no news, I'm afraid that something will happen, if we continue to wait like this, won't we fall into the trap of a few of their poor and sour people, we have to make plans early."
Prince Ping, who was already anxious, directly drew his saber and shouted upstairs: "Xie Shuran, if you don't open the city gate again, let us see the queen mother, I will attack directly."
Xie Shuran and the others are not as calm as before, and if they drag it out any longer, they are afraid that they will jump off the wall in a hurry.
Just when both sides inside and outside the city gate were anxious, Qin Luoyao arrived with the queen mother in her arms.
Xie Shuran and the others immediately put their minds at ease, after all, when the main lord arrived, the outside would not really fight, otherwise if they really fought, the materials of the Chu Palace alone would not be enough to support them to win.
The queen mother climbed the city tower step by step, looking at the royal relatives standing at the forefront of the black army below.
It was the group of people downstairs who helped themselves quell the rebellion of the princes and defend the state of Chu, but today it is the same group of people who, for the sake of interests, colluded with the enemy country to kill their sons and their kings, in a vain attempt to fall into the state of Chu and the crisis again.
Especially conspicuous are the two Uncle Chu and Wei Guogong, who did not dare to raise their heads directly under the gaze of the Empress Dowager.
The Empress Dowager glanced around, and felt a lot of emotion in her heart, how did the Chu State come to this point.
"Let's disperse," the Queen Mother said with a lot of effort.
"Listen to my order, the whole army retreats", after receiving the order of the Queen Mother, Prince Ping directly ordered.
However, none of the tens of thousands of troops moved, as if they had not heard Prince Ping's orders.
"What are you doing, do you dare to disobey my orders," Prince Ping roared.
Still no one moved.
"Okay, Antuo, times have changed, and the State of Chu is no longer the State of Chu it used to be, right, big brother, Xiao Situ."
Chu Antuo is the name of Prince Ping, and Uncle Chu is the brother of the Empress Dowager, and Xiao Jue was given the official position of Situ by the Empress Dowager during the Empress Dowager's period.
"Queen Mother, we have our suffering, I hope you will forgive us", Uncle Chu replied with a weak heart.
The most pitiful thing is Prince Ping, who is the only one who has been kept in the dark, and now he actually orders not to move a single soldier or armor.
"Could it be that this is the country of Chu that is going to die", the queen mother looked up to the sky, her face was lonely.
Just when Uncle Chu and Xiao Guogong were proud and ready to send troops to take the imperial city, Ye Yunyi rushed to the Chu Palace, which was surrounded by tens of thousands of defenders.
A black horse, dressed in white, walked into the army leisurely.
And the armies he passed by gave way to him one after another, as if they were being towed.
Ye Yunyi walked to the front of the army unimpeded, Xie Shuran upstairs They had already noticed this anomaly, and they were very excited, as long as Ye Yunyi came, this situation would be broken, this is the absolute confidence in the dark pavilion, and it is a long-term accumulated belief.
Every time there is a great chaos in the Chu State, the Dark Pavilion will appear, and then calm everything.
Ye Yunyi's strange appearance also attracted the attention of the Queen Mother, "Luo Yao, who is that young man"?
He is the current pavilion master of the Dark Pavilion, Qin Luoyao said. Even Qin Luoyao didn't notice that when he said that Ye Yunyi was the master of the Dark Pavilion, there was an inexplicable joy. It seems that the person you love will always appear at a critical juncture to save the building and collapse.
Uncle Chu also noticed the abnormality behind him at this time, and when he looked back, he saw Ye Yunyi riding a black horse, just standing in front of the army, and the ribbon dancing in the wind made him look extraordinary.
"Boy, who are you, hurry up and get out of the way for me, the sword doesn't have long eyes", Uncle Chu Guo couldn't tell Ye Yunyi's origin, and said with a fierce face.
At this critical moment, the glory and wealth are in front of him, but he can't make any more extraneous branches, Uncle Chu tried to scare Ye Yunyi away.
"It doesn't matter what he's doing so much, it's important to get down to business, the whole army listens to the order, give me the imperial city, and I will reward him heavily", Xiao Guogong urged.
Surprisingly, the scene of Prince Ping before reappeared, and still no one moved.
"Don't shout Lord Guogong, they are all subjects of the Chu State, they are the soldiers of the Chu State, and they will not follow you to do any disloyal and unrighteous things", Ye Yunyi chuckled.
"Come on, take down this alien for me", Chu Guogong said angrily.
It seems that Chu Guogong's words worked, and finally someone moved, only to see the two teams of defenders around them come out, but instead of walking in the direction of Ye Yunyi, they directly threw down the old school officials such as Uncle Chu and Xiao Guogong and tied them up.
This scene frightened the people upstairs, including the Queen Mother.
Ye Yunyi, who was standing in front of the army, was calm and relaxed, and when he took over as the master of the Dark Pavilion, he had already begun to lay out and master the defenders. From the historical experience of later generations, only the mastery of military power is the most important.
In the past few years since he took over, he has been secretly developing his strength in the army.
Most of the grassroots generals in the army were accepted as members of the Secret Cabinet, and in order to face the unknown crisis, Ye Yunyi couldn't remember how many shadows he had buried over the years.
The breeze caressed, Ye Yunyi hung a ring around his waist, and several defender generals came over and saluted Ye Yunyi, "Pavilion Master."
Ye Yunyi nodded his head and said: "Invite Uncle Chu and them to the Xing Prison Division, so that they can be served, and the rest of the people will be assigned to their duties, if they patrol the city and find strange behaviors, they will be arrested directly."
"Receiving the order", a team of defenders directly escorted the unwilling Uncle Chu and Wei Guogong to the Imperial Division, and the defenders outside the city also evacuated to their respective posts.
The original black pressure was quickly gone, and only Ye Yunyi and Prince Ping, who looked lonely, were left on the field.
"Lord, do you want to accompany the kid to go in to see the Emperor Chu and the Queen Mother", Ye Yunyi said to Prince Ping.
The former Prince Ping also entered the military camp at the age of nineteen, and earlier, when the Jin Kingdom was the most powerful.
He also tried to annex the state of Chu, and the state of Chu contacted the state of Yan and fought together with the state of Yan against the state of Jin.
The commander of the Chu State in that battle was Guo Chong, who was killed not long ago. At that time, Prince Ping was only a commander of the cavalry, but he led a small team of cavalry to attack around the rear, winning more with less, and directly established the victory of the Chu State.
In addition, the Yan State sent troops, and it directly defeated the Jin State for a few years, and now it has only eased up, but unfortunately the Yan State has already become stronger, and the Chu State is still the weakest because of years of resistance to aggression.
Therefore, for Prince Ping, Ye Yunyi is very respectful, whether it is the previous record or today's crisis, Prince Ping is just to repay the kindness of the Queen Mother, and does not collude with Yan Guo like Uncle Chu and them.
"I didn't expect that I still lost my eyes after all, Uncle Chu's white-eyed wolves, forget it, don't mention it, let's talk about you kid, I'm afraid the glory of your Ye family will be unstoppable from now on", Prince Ping sighed.
After Prince Ping was imprisoned in the palace, his favorite thing was to visit Ye's mansion, after all, he and Ye Yunyi's father were both comrades who came down from the battlefield, and they loved Ye Yunyi, a nephew with a prominent background but who liked to stay in the mansion all day long to read and write.
When I'm not working, we play chess together. Ye Yunyi also got along with this prince who didn't have any scheming.
"Lord Wang, you are laughing again, the Ye family's loyalty to the Chu State is felt by the people of the Chu State."
"Now that the matter has calmed down, I still have to go to see the Queen Mother, you kid has done a good job, with your father's demeanor, we are old after all, and the future of Chu still depends on you", Prince Ping finished speaking, and rode towards the city gate that had already been opened.
When Ye Yunyi's father was trained in the army before, he was a soldier under the Zhenguo Army under the command of Prince Ping.
Ye Yunyi followed, since the outside has been solved, the problems inside the palace will always have to be faced.
As everyone knows, after Ye Yunyi passed through the city gate, in the restaurant not far away, Wei Yingluo, the princess of Yan Kingdom, who was disguised as a scholar, and her party saw the scene just now clearly.
Even if Ye Yunyi was carrying Wei Yingluo on her back, she still recognized Ye Yunyi as the "maid" who broke into her study a few years ago.
She didn't calculate that the yang plot she planned that could have directly disintegrated the Chu State was actually resolved by Ye Yunyi in just a few words.
His imperial brother has become more and more violent since he ascended the throne, and he has wanted to send troops to attack the Chu State several times, constantly leading the Yan State to the abyss of war.
It was not easy for him to convince him to let himself dismantle the state of Chu, not through war and bloodshed.
For this plan, she first set up a trap to control Xiao Dian, a layman in the Chu State, and then used benefits to induce the Duke of Wei to comply. After that, it stimulates the contradictions between the old school and the Qing school, and gives the old school a heavy weight.
Even in order to drag down the Dark Pavilion, he did not hesitate to send the most elite "military assassins" of the Yan Kingdom to sabotage, which made Ye Yunyi send a large number of "Ming Guards" of the Dark Pavilion to intercept and kill at the beginning.
And in order to ensure the success of the plan, she risked her life to sneak into the Chu State in person, but she didn't expect to see such a scene.
