Immediately afterwards, Chu Lan asked Wei Jinyi: "I don't know how long the forbidden army can resist when facing the siege of the Five Routes Soldiers and Horses?" ”

"Are you sure it's the Five Ways?" Wei Jin also asked.

Chu Lan's eyes sank.

Immediately, I heard the old lady Lu say: "Xicheng commander Yu Dongshan is the old minister's protégé, and the old minister has met with him before entering the palace. ”

After finishing speaking, Old Lady Lu subconsciously glanced at Wei Jinyi.

He went to Yu Dongshan specifically to find Yu Dongshan at the behest of King Rui, and it seems that King Rui already knew that things would develop to this point.

One of the five cities is missing, and four are left.

The odds of winning like this are Chu Lan's.

At this time, a slender young man came out of the crowd: "My Tan family is willing to serve King Rui for the work of dogs and horses, in order to repay Princess Rui for saving the life of my Tan family master." ”

The person who spoke was Tan Ruyuan, the cousin of Tan Rufeng, the current commander of the Nancheng Soldiers and Horses Division, both of whom were the three sons of the Tan family who were rewarded by the emperor for lending grain to the imperial court three years ago.

What he meant should be Tan Rufeng's meaning.

It's just that what everyone doesn't know is when Princess Rui intersected with the Tan family who lived in a simple place.

Chu Lan looked at Wei Ruo, he had already expected that she might become a hindrance to him.

It's just that he never thought that she, a woman in the back house, could affect the troops of the previous dynasty.

Two of the five cities have been surrendered to King Rui, and the forbidden army is in the hands of King Rui.

The current situation is that the two are almost equal in strength, but because the forbidden army is the guard army in the imperial city, it occupies a geographical advantage.

In this way, it is still the better chance of victory on the side of King Rui.

In the Qianqing Palace, the ministers had different expressions.

Listening to the shouts and fights that came from time to time outside the hall, it was difficult to judge which side of the wine had the upper hand.

Everyone didn't know how to team for a while, for fear of making a wrong decision that ruined their future and life.

Fan Shuyi, the head of the household, suddenly spoke up at this time: "My Fan clan has always been loyal to the saint, and I originally thought that King Jing was inheriting the mandate of heaven and succeeding to the holy throne, so he obeyed him, but now that I know the truth, I can no longer be with him." The minister believed that as long as he informed Fan Xiu, the commander of the Beicheng Soldiers and Horses, the edict of the former emperor and the truth about the usurpation of the throne by King Jing, he would not continue to help the abuse! ”

Fan Shuyi's generous statement not only stated his current position, but also explained the reason why the Fan clan supported King Jing before.

Fan Shuyi's words undoubtedly became the last straw that overwhelmed Chu Lan.

If the Beicheng Soldiers and Horses defect, this will tip the balance of victory in favor of King Rui.

Fan Shuyi, the old fox, really ......

He always pursues advantages and avoids disadvantages like this, and sees the wind as the rudder.

Chu Lan had long known that he would be such a person, but he thought that the situation was on his side, and although the Fan family could not fully believe it and had no chance to betray him, he didn't want to lose power so quickly.

Wei Jin also seemed to have expected that the Fan family would defect to the battle, and said: "In this case, I will bother Lord Fan to run and go to the location of the commander of the Beicheng Soldiers and Horses." ”

Zhang Yi and Fan Chengxu came in from outside the hall and walked up to Fan Shuyi, they had been waiting for a long time, just waiting for Fan Shuyi to make a statement.

"Uncle, please, the horse is ready, and the way out of the palace has been left in advance." Fan Chengxu said to Fan Shuyi.

Seeing Fan Chengxu, Fan Shuyi was obviously stunned for a moment, and then glanced at Wei Jinyi.

Obviously, Fan Chengxu will be here today, just to prepare to persuade Fan Shuyi, if Fan Shuyi didn't figure it out himself, then Fan Chengxu would also come out to persuade him.

All of this is within the calculation of the wise king!

"Master Fan, please." Zhang Yi said.

Fan Shuyi no longer hesitated, and left with Zhang Yi and Fan Chengxu.

Seeing this situation, Chu Lan knew that his general trend was gone.

He lost and lost completely.

Maybe he couldn't win from the beginning, his father, the Xu family and Chu Yi, they were all laying out, all the chess pieces were in place, just waiting for him to enter the game.

Chu Lan looked at Wei Jinyi and said with a smile: "I really underestimated you, ninth brother." When you appeared in front of me with the edict, I really thought that you just got the edict, and you wanted to take the throne as soon as your mind was hot, but I didn't expect you to be so well prepared. ”

"Don't blame me for underestimating the enemy, it's your former disguise that is good enough, so good that everyone believes that you are really a person who is not capable of competing for the throne."

After saying that, Chu Lan suddenly made a move, and swooped towards Wei Ruo like an arrow off the string.

Everyone thought that the person he was going to deal with was King Rui, but they didn't want the object of his action to be Princess Rui standing on the side of the main hall.

Chu Lan's attack was very sudden, Wei Ruo only had time to take a step back, Chu Lan held the dagger and stabbed straight at Wei Ruo.

Between the lightning and flint, the white shadow came like lightning and kicked the dagger in Chu Lan's hand away.

Wei Jin also made a move in time, kicking Chu Lan away and blocking Wei Ruo's at the same time.

Although he was confronting Chu Lan, Wei Jin also paid attention to Wei Ruo's safety at all times, so he acted as soon as Chu Lan made his move.

Immediately afterwards, he turned to attack on pointe, and lightly made the light skill to force Chu Lan.

Wei Jin also has no weapons in his hands, only fists and feet, but when he makes a move, the blows of his fists and feet are like knives, guns and axes, and he is a killer.

Chu Lan dodged quickly, kept busy defending, and looked for a counterattack in the gap.

The two fought from the east side of the main hall to the west side, in front of the civil and military officials, and in front of their father's funeral hall.

The fight between the two was not new to Wei Ruo, as early as when he was in Taizhou Mansion, the two of them had already fought each other, and Chu Lan could not win against Wei Jinyi at that time.

The ministers were dumbfounded, and it was the first time that the battle-hardened General Lu had seen this kind of fight.

The martial arts of the two of them are among the best in the world, and the speed of the two of them is so fast that their eyes are about to be unable to keep up, and the strength is so great that the ground of the pillars that have been affected has been greatly damaged.

What everyone is most puzzled about is why King Rui's martial arts are so high, hasn't he just recovered from a serious illness?

The battle lasted for a long time, and the victory and defeat were gradually revealed.

Wei Jinyi's offensive was as fierce as a flood beast, and his moves were treacherous, and Chu Lan could not avoid it, and there was no way to hide.

In the panic, Chu Lan failed to dodge Wei Jinyi's charged kick in time, was kicked in the chest, fell from mid-air, and fell heavily to the ground.

Chu Lan covered his chest with one hand and supported his upper body with the other.

He looked at Wei Jinyi, stunned for a long time, and finally laughed out loud.

"That's it, that's it...... Chu Yi, Chu Yi, you have done a really big job in this game. ”

In this fight, this familiar move made Chu Lan recognize it, and Chu was the guard Wang Jin by Wei Ruo's side at the beginning.
