In the dark lobby, only two candles were dancing softly.

At this time, Pei Kuan, who was the general of the Sixteenth Guard of the Southern Ya, actually stood in place.

And his subordinates, who were supposed to belong to him, walked through the door with swords in hand.

It was as if Pei Kuan was about to be captured.

Pei Kuan stood in the middle of the lobby and straightened his chest.

"You...... What are you doing here with swords in your hands and not sleeping late at night? ”

The slight trembling voice showed that he was not as confident as he appeared.

The generals of the Sixteen Guards of the Southern Ya did not rush forward and directly hacked Pei Kuan to death.

Instead, a leader spoke.

"Master Pei, we are going to admonish you!"

After the man had finished speaking, the other generals followed suit.

"That's right! We just want to admonish the soldiers. ”

"Your Majesty's life and death are unknown, General Pei, you can actually sit here, what is your intention?"

"The fighter plane is fleeting, why give the thief a night's rest?"

"I've long since inquired that the rebels have been fighting since noon. I'm afraid I can't even hold a knife now, so why not attack now? ”

Under the excitement of the crowd, the general of the Sixteenth Guard of the Southern Ya completely opened the conversation.

According to the Tang military system, they should have led an army alone.

If it weren't for Li Longji's edict, Pei Kuan would not have been qualified to lead these generals with a minimum of third-rank official positions.

"I think the general has been bought by the traitor Shouwang Li Mao!"

Gao Xianzhi, the general of Qianniuwei, made a final decision and directly characterized Pei Kuan as a thief.

"Fart!"

Pei Kuan was suddenly angry.

If he didn't know the whereabouts of the emperor, he would have led his troops into the palace a long time ago, where would he wait for a long time on Suzaku Street?

Gao Xianzhi frowned.

"General Pei, since you don't admit that you are a thief."

"Then after we rescue Your Majesty, let Your Majesty decide in person."

"For now, you'd better stay here! Don't make it difficult for us. ”

Pei Kuan was silent for a while, and then sat down on the stool.

"Alright! Since you want to break into the palace, go for it. ”

"I can't stop you anyway."

"I hope Your Majesty will not be hurt by you."

After finishing speaking, Pei Kuan closed his eyes.

Out of sight and out of mind.

Gao Xianzhi took the talisman from his chest and walked out of the door without any delay.

The other generals of the Sixteenth Guard of the Southern Ya followed in his footsteps.

Under the cover of night, in the shadows of the houses on both sides of Suzaku Street, there are figures flashing from time to time.

……

Li Longji didn't know that the general of the 16th Guard of the Southern Ya, whom he had personally appointed, had been rebelled by his subordinates.

"Niu Aiqing, are there any thieves chasing after you in the rear?"

The cow cyclamen turned his head to look behind him.

It was pitch black, and even the smoke and dust from the galloping horses could not be seen, let alone the human figures.

"Your Majesty, rest assured, all we are riding are sweaty and bloody horses."

"There are no cavalry in the hands of the thieves, so they will definitely not be able to catch up with us."

Li Longji also looked up.

It's so far away from the palace that you can't even see the beacon fire.

"We still have loyal ministers and good generals in Datang."

"Who was the guard of the Xuanwu Gate just now? When I return to the Great Treasure, I will reward him heavily. ”

When Li Longji was passing through the Xuanwu Gate.

When the guard saw the emperor leaving the palace in the middle of the night, he was immediately startled.

After hearing that the thieves had invaded the imperial city.

The Xuanwu Gate guards immediately asked for their lives.

As a high-ranking prime minister, where will Niu Xianke remember a small city gate guard.

I couldn't think of it for a long time.

I had to say haha: "After Your Majesty regains Chang'an, it's not too late to find it." ”

Li Longji looked at Chang'an City and said hatefully: "When I catch Li Mao's rebel, I will never spare him." ”

"Niu Aiqing, I'll camp here tonight."

"You immediately arrange for someone to find out what is going on with the Sixteen Guards of Nanya?"

"Is it really a rebellion? Or is Li Mao lying and deceiving me? ”

The Ox Cyclamen took the order.

Hurriedly arranged for a forbidden army to follow the fleeing army back to the city to inquire about the news.

……

The nights in June were already extremely hot.

Li Mao, who was in a deep sleep, was suddenly awakened by a chill.

Open your eyes.

The sky is full of stars hanging high in the sky.

Frogs chirp in my ears.

It looks very peaceful.

Li Mao suddenly got up and came to the city wall.

I saw that Suzaku Street was empty.

It doesn't look like there's an enemy night attack.

Right now.

Lu Bu, who was alarmed by Li Mao's up, also followed.

"Your Majesty, Gao Shun has been on guard."

"If the enemy attacks at night, we will definitely be the first to find out."

Li Mao looked in the direction of Lu Bu's finger.

Gao Shun was staring intently at the bottom of the city wall.

Is it a nightmare?

After scanning around again, Li Mao, who still didn't find anything, couldn't help but start to suspect that something was wrong with her senses.

Never mind!

You still have to be prepared!

After Li Mao made up her mind, she directly received the task reward.

Under the cover of night.

Three thousand Xuanjia iron horsemen quietly descended in the imperial city.

None of the nearly 10,000 female eunuchs in the imperial city noticed it.

Even the battle-hardened Lu Bu is the same.

The three thousand soldiers were all dressed in black iron armor, and even the war horses were wrapped in iron armor.

Right now.

Gao Shun, who had been observing the vigilance, suddenly shouted.

"Enemy attack!"

The voice was high-pitched, and all the soldiers in the camp at the head of the city immediately woke up from their sleep.

Grab your weapon and run to the edge of the wall.

Li Linfu and Zhao Gao were also awakened.

If they hadn't seen Li Mao still in front of them, maybe the two of them would have started to run for their lives directly.

"Humph!"

Lu Bu looked down at the city.

Seeing that there were only more than 1,000 enemies attacking at night, he immediately relaxed.

"It's all a bit of a chicken."

"Your Majesty, the last general asks for orders to go out of the city and repel the enemy army."

After finishing speaking, Lu Bu knelt on one knee.

Li Mao shook her head.

"Don't be in a hurry to get out of town yet!"

"The enemy army is menacing, avoid its sharp spirit."

"Gao Shun, you lead your subordinates to the camp and hold the city wall. Don't let the enemy climb up. ”

"Fengxian, I ordered you to be the general of the Imperial Forest Army, lead three thousand Xuanjia iron cavalry, and wait for my order behind the Vermilion Bird Gate."

Three thousand Xuanjia Iron Horsemen?

Lu Bu, Gao Shun, Li Linfu, Zhao Gao, and Yang Guozhong were all confused.

The eunuchs and maids had long been forbidden to go out of the house.

When they looked into the imperial city, they couldn't see anyone at all, let alone an army of three thousand.

Could it be that Your Majesty was frightened crazy by the army outside the city?

A thought came to the minds of the five.

Li Mao looked at the five people with a confused look on their faces, and smiled indifferently.

"My soldiers, come out!"

As soon as the words fell.

The sound of horses' hooves suddenly sounded.

"Yes!"

The three thousand Xuanjia Iron Horsemen replied in unison.

The sound shook the world.

The enemy troops who were attacking at night on Suzaku Street all froze, and looked back at the position of the commander.

Gao Xianzhi was also taken aback.

Such an imposing voice was difficult for even the border army he had been leading before.

I didn't expect that there would be such an elite in the hands of the anti-thief.

Could it be the four guards of the North Ya?
