Xiao Huangting received a mysterious letter in which the secret passage of Jinling was clearly pointed out.

That secret passage is very secretive and very obvious, and that is the moat.

With the advantage of the moat, Jinling City resisted the enemy attack again and again, and became a moat, and defeated the moat.

In the aqueduct into which the moat flows.

That day, the canal was built by the former Ministry of Industry Shangshu Gong Chenglong, and he accidentally discovered it during the investigation of Zhennan Wang's secret agent.

Originally, this place had been abandoned, but Xiao Yuanshan did not send someone to destroy it, which gave the enemy an opportunity to take advantage of.

After getting the secret passage of the moat and the map of the underground water network, Xiao Huangting was overjoyed: "God help me!" ”

"Xiao Yuanshan, this is God is helping me destroy you."

In order to prevent the plan from being revealed, Xiao Huangting launched several attacks the next day, but no progress was made.

Just when the Zhou army was complacent, the rebels who suddenly came out from behind were like divine soldiers descending from the sky, and the Zhou army was caught off guard.

On one side, the rebels launched a large-scale feint attack from the front, and on the other side, an elite unit quickly infiltrated through the secret passage and quickly lurked in Jinling.

At night, the elite of the rebels first cut off the patrols on the periphery, assassinated them, changed into their uniforms, and then used the pretext of changing defenses to open the city gates and lower the drawbridge.

And Xiao Huangting, who had been waiting for a long time, saw that the plan was successful, and he immediately ordered to be fully armed and enter Jinling.

The overwhelming sound of war horses immediately resounded into the night.

After a tug-of-war between the rebels and the Zhou army that lasted for more than a month, they finally entered the city with Xiao Huangting's breakthrough, announcing the defeat of the Zhou army.

At the same time, Xiao Wuxin seemed to sense something, he opened his eyes suddenly, and immediately ordered: "Soldiers, the time has come, everyone listen to my orders." ”

"Qingjun side! Kill the traitor!! ”

This is the name of the uprising that Xiao Wuxin is shaking.

And he pulled the signal flare, the red gunpowder rushed to the sky, and after the Changshan League spies in Jinling City learned the news, they immediately launched internal and external countermeasures.

For a time, Xiao Wuxin's 100,000-strong army was ready to backstab the rebels, and the Changshan League in the city was wandering in the dark web, waiting for the rebels to break through the gate of the imperial city and kill Emperor Zhou, which was the best time for their counterattack.

The Changshan League in the city told Xiao Wuxin in the same way that everything was ready and only Dongfeng was owed.

......

Late at night, the Imperial City.

"Newspaper~~, rebel...... Killing...... The kill is in. ”

When the messenger had just run to the gate of the imperial city, he was pierced in the back by a dark arrow in the cold night, and died on the spot.

The generals defending the city also realized that something was wrong, and the firelight in the distance was approaching the imperial city at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Not good! Inform Your Majesty that the rebels have entered the city. ”

At this time, the bronze bell of the imperial city also rang for the first time.

This large bell is only used in times of disaster.

Knock~~Knock~~

The quaint and melodious voice spread throughout the entire imperial city, Xiao Yuanshan woke up from his sleep, got off the dragon couch, rushed outside and said, "What happened? ”

The eunuch on duty was so frightened that when he saw Xiao Yuanshan, he fell to the ground, crawled in front of him, and said, "Rebels...... Raid in. ”

"What did you say!!"

Xiao Yuanshan couldn't figure out how Xiao Huangting attacked without knowing it.

The moat of Jinling is impregnable, unless he has wings.

If he knew that it was the abandoned canal that buried him, and the initiator of all this was Xiao Wuxin, who he scoffed at, he didn't know how to feel.

Xiao Yuanshan also panicked, and he immediately ordered: "Hurry up...... Let Zhao Juzheng come to escort. ”

Now, Xiao Yuanshan's biggest reliance is the Imperial City Guard.

It's just that when his voice fell, Zhao Juzheng led the watchman to his dormitory.

"Zhao Qing, you came just in time, the rebels have arrived on the outskirts of the imperial city, think about how to retreat from the enemy?" Xiao Yuanshan commanded.

Zhao Juzheng's face was indifferent and calm, and he said, "Your Majesty! The general trend has gone, and the minister has no power to return to the sky. ”

"As the commander of the watchman, your duty is to guard the royal family, and when disaster comes, you actually say such frustrating words, and your heart can be punished."

Xiao Yuanshan knew that he couldn't do it, but he was still high-minded, and he couldn't tolerate others saying half a word.

However, Zhao Juzheng also revealed his true intentions at this moment, and said: "What Your Majesty said is that the duty of beating the guard is indeed to guard the royal family, but those who have fallen into the royal family are not counted. ”

The implication is that the watchman does serve the royal family, but not just anyone.

Anyone who can become a member of the royal family can become a service object for the watchman.

As Zhao Juzheng once said to Xiao Wuxin, "Changing people never surrender to anyone."

From the very beginning, the watchman subdued the strong, and whoever was strong was the master of the watchman.

Of course, it can also be called "wallgrass".

"What do you mean? You want to betray me? Xiao Yuanshan asked angrily.

"Your Majesty, you are about to lose your royal status, and the contract of the watchman to serve you is disappearing at this moment, if you can survive, we will continue to serve you."

After that, Zhao Juzheng led the watchmen to disappear into the darkness.

And Xiao Yuanshan was like a frosted eggplant, sitting on the ground with weak legs.

He came to the imperial hall of the imperial city, sat on the dragon chair of his heart, and waited for the time of judgment.

As the rebels entered, the imperial city was ransacked, the scene was a mess, and the concubines and princesses were snatched away and reduced to the playthings of others.

The princes became the ghosts of others under the butcher's knife.

Accompanied by the firelight to the main hall, Xiao Huangting finally set foot on this land.

He was dressed in a military uniform and walked slowly towards Xiao Yuanshan.

The last moment finally came.
