Chapter 127: The Great Ming Xuanwu Gate
To the north of the palace, on the wall of Xuanwu Gate, a head stretched out to look under the city wall.
Sun Cheng's face sank, and he took out a holy decree from his arms: "Daming Huaiyoujun King, Emperor Sun Yunxi, receive the decree to return to Beijing and open the city gate!" β
The head on the wall shrank back.
There was a moment of silence on the Xuanwu Gate.
Then the iron helmet must have come out, revealing the cheek of a young general.
Zhou Ji stood at the head of the Xuanwu Gate, the corners of his mouth were slightly the same.
Waiting for you Zhu Yunxi to return to Beijing!
He raised his hand in front of his brow, as if to confirm the arrival of someone from the city.
After a while, it came: "The last general has seen the king of the county, behind the Xuanwu Gate is the forbidden place of the palace, the king of the county has been edicted to return to Beijing, the last general will not dare to stop it, but please dismount and enter the palace." β
Unless otherwise intended, no one in the palace could walk on two feet.
Zhu Yunxi's face was cloudy, and he looked at the palace behind the Xuanwu Gate.
He snorted coldly: "Get off the horse!" β
There was silence in front of the city gate, only the more than 100 people who accompanied him dismounted neatly and landed on the ground.
On the city wall, Zhou Ji observed for a while and determined that among the more than 100 people around Zhu Yunxi, only the 20 or so people wore blades, and finally put his mind at ease.
He shouted to the city, "Wait a minute, the king. β
"Open the gates!"
With the city wall, Zhou Ji's voice came.
The Xuanwu Gate, which had been closed, slowly opened with a loud noise.
Sun Cheng was armed in front of Zhu Yunxi, looked back and whispered, "Third Master ......"
Zhu Yunxi looked at the Xuanwu Gate that had been opened, and behind it was the palace that seemed to be quiet forever.
He waved his hand: "Go back to the palace!" β
More than 100 people behind him responded to the call.
β¦β¦
"I have said everything that should have been said, and the interests of it should also be known!"
On the wall of Xuanwu Gate, Zhou Ji's eyes showed murderous aura, scanning the soldiers around him and his subordinates.
"Now that the situation of Your Majesty and the crown prince is unknown, the country cannot be left without an owner for a day. Although the king of Huaiyou County has the support of the general, but it is also because we will not have a bright future! β
"Only the king of Guangling County, there is no help in the court, as long as it is done today, it is the day when we will soar!"
"I can't say, among us today, there will be a few more Kaiping Kings and Zhongshan Kings!"
"Everyone, please rest assured, my Zhou family is now protecting your family and will never let them have an accident!"
In the past few days, he took the initiative to ask for help, guarded the Xuanwu Gate for days, and took the opportunity to order the Zhou family to control Zhou Ji, who was under his command, and his eyes swept over the faces of more than 100 people in front of him one by one.
He only has so many subordinates in the Forbidden Army's personal guards.
But throughout the ages, those who have achieved great things have never been known for their large numbers.
In the past, Tang Taizong Li Shimin and Xuanwu coup d'Γ©tat, and there were only a few hundred people around him, but in the end, the Tang Dynasty was prosperous.
Now he is guarding, and he has been prepared for a long time.
Zhu Yunxi was advancing and was not prepared, and although the difference in numbers was not right, there were only more than 20 people on the other side who could fight.
His impassioned words made the officers and men, who were still hesitant, suddenly feel endless pride and expectation.
It was the pursuit of merit and glory.
"General, the king of Huaiyou County has begun to enter the palace!"
At this time, the pro-soldiers who were observing outside the Xuanwu Gate on the side turned around and shouted to Zhou Ji in a low voice.
Zhou Ji frowned, and Zeng pulled out the saber on his waist: "Go down to the city, ambush on both sides of the city gate!" β
For a while, the soldiers on the city wall pressed their footsteps, quickly descended the city wall, and hid behind the Xuanwu Gate.
Zhou Ji took a few personal soldiers and stood behind the Xuanwu Gate, looking at Zhu Yunxi and others who had already walked into the city gate cave with calm eyes but excitement in his heart.
"Third master, something is wrong!"
Sun Cheng, who had been guarding Zhu Yunxi's side, suddenly lowered his head and reminded him in a whisper.
Zhu Yunxi's eyes suddenly sank, and he swept towards the outside of the city gate.
The Xuanwu Gate is a righteous north-south orientation.
At this time, the sun was setting in the west, and the sunlight shining from the west was parallel to the Xuanwu Gate.
This also leads to the shadows of objects on the north and south sides of the Xuanwu Gate, which are projected from west to east.
And at the moment when Sun Cheng reminded him, Zhu Yunxi clearly saw that outside the Xuanwu Gate City Gate, a round shadow in the corner of the west wall moved brightly, and then disappeared to the west.
He looked up again at the general of the Forbidden Army who greeted him outside the city gate.
It is Zhou Ji, the son of Jiang Xiahou!
In an instant, Zhu Yunxi finally reacted.
"You arrange, don't be noticed by the other party......"
Zhu Yunxi's lips and teeth did not move.
Sun Cheng, who was beside him, was about to put his hands behind his back and shook them silently a few times.
Everything happened in silence.
It was not easy to notice that the hundred servants of the Tang family who followed behind Zhu Yunxi had already retracted their hands into their loose sleeves.
Everyone is silently changing their position.
The sunset outside the Xuanwu Gate Gate is getting closer and closer to everyone.
Zhou Ji, who was standing outside the city gate, had a smile on his face that was getting bigger and bigger.
"Close the gates!"
Suddenly, a shout came from nowhere.
The Xuanwu Gate, controlled by the chains on the city wall, made a loud noise and closed at a speed visible to the naked eye.
However, in Zhou Ji's sight, there was no reaction of Zhu Yunxi and others, who turned around and wanted to escape in a hurry.
At that time, as long as he kills in the back and blocks Zhu Yunxi in the city gate, there will only be one-sided slaughter.
However, in his child's holes.
With that chant on the city walls.
The damn King of Huaiyou County actually raised his arms and shouted.
"The sky has changed!"
"Rebel mutiny!"
"Kill!"
"Help!"
Zhu Yunxi roared angrily, and had already pulled out the Yanling knife on his waist, and his blood spread out all over his body, just like a general in front of the battle.
Around him, Sun Cheng and the others drew their swords one after another, several people formed a small formation, and finally more formations formed a large military formation.
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
In the Ming Dynasty, inside the Xuanwu Gate of Yingtian, the sound of killing was everywhere.
Everything happens between messages.
Zhou Ji, who was already in control, had not yet reacted to where he had been exposed.
I saw that those who were just ordinary servants actually showed short knives from their sleeves.
Before he could react and make a countermeasure.
Zhu Yunxi had already rushed out of the Xuanwu Gate with people.
For a while, the blades behind the Xuanwu Gate collided, and the earth shook the sky.
Under the mistake of being caught off guard, the soldiers and horses under Zhou Ji's command were completely disorganized for a while.
And those servants of the Tang family who followed Zhu Yunxi back to Beijing from Fengyang were all veterans in the army in the past.
At this time, there was a call for rescue, and there was an admonition from the head of the family, and all his subordinates did not leave mercy.
The knife is ruthless, and the move is deadly.
Looking at the chaotic Xuanwu Gate, Zhou Ji didn't know how to deal with it for a while.
But Zhu Yunxi was aiming at him.
"Kill!"
Zhu Yunxi shouted, and then led a few Yulin guards to kill Zhou Ji.
Zhou Ji looked at Zhu Yunxi, who had been in the palace all day long and pampered, and burst out with such a fierce momentum, if he didn't know that he would become a benevolent person if he didn't succeed today, he would almost turn around and flee.
"Ahh
Zhou Ji roared angrily, and also raised the Yanling knife in his hand, leading his own soldiers, and killed Zhu Yunxi without any scruples.
