"Alas......"

Seeing Zhao Zongquan's searching gaze towards him, Wei Chen deliberately sighed, satisfying Zhao Zongquan's appetite, and then said quietly:

"It's no secret, when Your Majesty wrote the blood edict, there were many palace maids on the side, and the rebels surrounded the Funing Palace, and some of these shameless villains told King Yan about the blood edict in order to survive.

Because of this, along the way I escaped, I encountered many rebels chasing and killing, and after nine deaths, thanks to the desperate protection of the inner temple, I was lucky enough to save my life and be able to see my brother here! ”

When Wei Chen said this, he couldn't help gritting his teeth, looking distressed, as if he had really suffered because of the villain's informant.

When Zhao Zongquan saw the wounds and blood scabs on Wei Chen's face, he immediately believed most of them, and hurriedly pulled Wei Chen's arm and asked, "What does Brother Xian mean...... King Yan already knows about the existence of the blood edict, and also knows that His Majesty wants to pass it on to me?" ”

Wei Chen sighed and shook his head, then nodded with a wry smile, which was a tacit acquiescence.

"Bitter!"

Zhao Zongquan's eyes suddenly darkened.

At this moment, Zhao Zongquan only felt frightened, pacing back and forth like an ant on a hot pot, patting his thighs while sighing incessantly: "How is this good, how is it good!" ”

Wei Chen saw that the fire was almost over, so he glanced at Gu Tingye.

Gu Tingye immediately understood, stepped forward and said: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, King Yan is just and cruel, and everyone in Bianjing knows it, but now that King Yan already knows the content of the blood edict, how can he let His Highness go?" Once King Yan succeeds in usurping the throne, His Royal Highness will not say that he will return to Yuzhou, or he will flee to the ends of the earth, and King Yan will have to get rid of His Royal Highness and hurry up! ”

"Zhong Huai is right!"

Zhao Ceying grabbed the ground with his head and said bitterly: "Father, if you insist on refusing to obey the edict, then our family of dozens of people will probably have to meet again in Huangquan!"

Ask the father to save his son! Save my mother who is still in Yuzhou! And your granddaughter, who is not yet two years old! Father! ”

"This ......, this ......"

When Zhao Zongquan heard Zhao Ceying's words, he closed his eyes in pain, and his face was full of struggle.

Seeing that Zhao Zongquan's attitude had finally relaxed, Wei Chen pushed him again: "Brother, there are only a few thousand rebels in the city at the moment, and they have not been in the palace for a long time, their foothold is not stable, and the official family has not yet fallen into the hands of the rebels, so it is the best time to quell the rebellion." If it drags on any longer, and waits for King Yan to coerce the Son of Heaven to order the world, win over the hearts of the army and the people, and even become self-reliant, then it will be too late! ”

Wei Chen's words were like the last straw that crushed the camel, and finally made the hesitant Zhao Zongquan make up his mind.

Zhao Zongquan looked at Bianjing City in the moonlight in the distance, and muttered: "Both clear and philosophical, in order to protect his ......"

This sentence was Zhao Zongquan's wise words in the first half of his life, but now that the situation is forcing him, he has to put this sentence aside.

How difficult it is to protect oneself!

After sighing, Zhao Zongquan let out a long sigh of relief, and his originally somewhat sloppy eyes gradually gained focus, revealing a perseverance that he had never had before.

After making up his mind, Zhao Zongquan washed away the cowardly posture of the past, showing a calm bearing that was completely different from the past, and in the calm, the majesty loomed.

Zhao Zongquan looked at everyone, and ordered in a surging tone: "Pass the order of the palace, change your clothes, prepare all the horses, go to the camp in the western suburbs with the palace, hold the blood edict and tiger talisman, order the soldiers and horses, and enter the city to quell the rebellion!" ”

Wei Chen, Zhao Ceying, Gu Tingye and others glanced at each other, they were all overjoyed, and they all bowed down and shouted: "Your Highness is wise!" ”

After quickly changing their clothes, everyone turned over and got on their horses, and hurried towards the direction of the camp in the western suburbs, and everyone's faces were beaming.

Zhao Zongquan took over the edict, and from then on he was the crown prince, and it is very likely that he will become the son of heaven of the Great Zhou Dynasty in the future.

At that time, the old men who followed Zhao Zongquan will all be former ministers of the Qiandi, and there will inevitably be a splash of wealth and wealth.

Of course, there is another premise for all this, that is, Zhao Zongquan can successfully quell the rebellion and destroy King Yan, otherwise any beautiful vision is just a flash in the pan.

At this moment, the most important thing for them is time, and one step later can give birth to infinite variables.

Therefore, everyone suppressed the excitement in their hearts, and was silent all the way, just desperately waving their horsewhips, and hurriculating their horsepower to rush to the destination of their trip, the western suburbs camp, as soon as possible.

……

The camp in the western suburbs, which is the largest camp around Bianjing, is full of tens of thousands of male soldiers.

The camp faces the mountains on both sides, connects the water source, the high wall and deep fortress stretch for dozens of miles, the watchtower, the arrow tower, the beacon tower ......, and all kinds of fortifications are intertwined, and it is almost another fortified city outside Bianjing.

With such a military powerhouse, the commander naturally has to be a respected and respected minister of Weilong, and he is deeply respected by today's son.

And now the person sitting in the camp in the western suburbs is the famous veteran of the two dynasties, the British duke, Zhang Lie.

Zhang Lie joined the army when he was young, and then Rong Ma for his life, because of his outstanding military achievements and was named the Duke of the country, after two dynasties of heaven, he was highly respected, and all the generals in the army looked forward to his horse.

It is precisely because of such a highly respected and loyal old prince sitting in the western suburbs that Zhao Zhen in Bianjing City can sleep peacefully every day.

After the fire broke out in Bianjing, the British immediately sent scouts to investigate the city.

However, because of the existence of the camp in the western suburbs, the city gate west of Bianjing has always been the focus of the rebel party, and the deputy commander of the soldiers and horses of the five cities made Wu Mou personally sit here.

Under the strict defense of the rebels, the scouts sent by the British could not find out anything for a while.

Hearing the scout's return, the British Duke became more and more anxious, so many years of ups and downs of experience, so that the British Duke was keenly aware that there must have been a big change in Bianjing City!

However, the Great Zhou had extremely tight control over the army, and even the British duke, without the Tiger Charm and the transfer order, could not move the army in the camp in the western suburbs.

The British Duke could only order the camp gate to be closed, restrain the battalion sergeants, and prevent anyone from taking advantage of the chaos to make trouble, and at the same time sent a large number of scouts to the city gates in the rest of Bianjing, hoping to find out the situation in the city.

Just when the British Duke was fidgeting in the tent, the scout suddenly came to report: "Grandpa Guo, there is a group of dozens of people outside the camp asking to see you." The people at the head claimed to be Wei Chen, the scholar of Hanlin Chamberlain, and Zhao Zongquan, the training envoy of the Yuzhou regiment, and said that they had His Majesty's blood edict and tiger talisman in their hands. ”

"Wei Chen? Zhao Zongquan? ”

The British public frowned.

Wei Chen, as a bachelor, served the emperor, and the official family was in a hurry, so he sent him to pass on the edict, but it was reasonable.

But isn't Zhao Zongquan a training envoy of the Yuzhou regiment, why did he come to Bianjing and still be with Wei Chen?

It's just that although the British Duke had all the doubts in his heart, he still decided to meet Wei Chen and Zhao Zongquan.

Just because he heard the word "blood edict".

In such an emergency situation, the official family would not even have time to polish the ink, and directly write the edict in blood!

If the blood edict in the hands of Wei Chen and Zhao Zongquan is true, it is not difficult for the British Duke to guess the situation in Bianjing City at this moment.

The official family must have reached the point of exhaustion!

Thinking of this, the British Duke almost did not hesitate at all, and immediately ordered his subordinates: "Quickly bring these two people into the camp and come to the Chinese army tent to see me!" ”
