Jiaji looked up at the visitor.

He wore a mask of ghostly fangs, and was tall and long, with a handsome and dignified figure, and judging from his gray hair, he should be over fifty years old.

He was dressed only in black, and had no armor in sight. Dressed like this in the shadow of a sword, if you are not stupid, you have great confidence in your martial arts.

Obviously, he is the latter.

Jia Er asked out loud, "Are you the Ghost Face General?" ””

The man didn't answer Jia Er's words, didn't even look at him, and walked towards Emperor Qingming.

His steps were leisurely, as if he were strolling leisurely, out of step with the tension of the saber rattling at this time.

Emperor Qingming has been staring at him since he appeared.

"King Jin?"

Emperor Qingming spoke first. Only King Jin can have such a temperament that makes people feel tight and short of breath.

But he couldn't figure it out, the ghost-faced general was the king of Jin? King Jin and the crown prince have always been regarded as fire and water, why are they still cooperating now?

Zhao Chengyuan lifted the mask on his face, revealing a handsome face like a fairy, and he smiled, "Brother Huang finally guessed correctly." ”

Emperor Qingming's face was gloomy, he didn't think that the ghost-faced general was the king of Jin, but during the Northwest War, Zhao Chengyuan couldn't fake it in Xiangping Mansion, and his leg bones were broken, how did he appear in two places at the same time?

And when there were rumors of the ghost-faced general in the northwest before, he also checked the whereabouts of the king of Jin, most of the time it was in Jinzhou, so many officials had seen it, and the secret guards had also seen it.

The situation in the northwest was changing rapidly, and Emperor Qingming did not believe that Zhao Chengyuan could strategize thousands of miles away.

He has been guarding against Zhao Chengyuan all these years, but he has been guarding against him, but in the end, he still can't prevent him!

I only blame myself for being too soft-hearted, and I have to take care of the mouths of others, and I didn't spend more effort on cutting the grass and eradicating the roots when Zhao Chengyuan was young!

Emperor Qingming looked at Zhao Chen, then at Zhao Chengyuan, and said sarcastically, "You and the prince have partnered to rebel, but I don't know if you win, which of you will sit on this dragon chair?" ”

One of them is a prince, and the other is planning painstakingly, and he doesn't believe that they can willingly make wedding clothes for others!

People's hearts are selfish, not to mention that there is Han Youning between them. He didn't believe that the prince didn't have the intention of ascending to the supreme position and taking Han Youning over. He also didn't believe that Zhao Chengyuan would not be afraid that the prince would have this idea.

Zhao Chengyuan smiled slightly, "It doesn't matter who will sit on the dragon chair between this king and the crown prince, the important thing is whether you can sit on it." Brother Huang, the account between us must be settled today. ”

"Reckoning?" Emperor Qingming pointed behind them, "Just with the 20,000 soldiers and horses in the camp on the outskirts of Beijing?" Not to mention their combat strength, they are all soldiers who have defended the capital for generations, and now they know that they are not entering the palace for King Qin but to be chaotic ministers and thieves, and they are willing to give you their lives or not! ”

Zhao Chengyuan looked at Emperor Qingming with pity and shook his head, "Hasn't the imperial brother figured it out at this moment?" They are wearing the uniforms of the camp on the outskirts of Beijing, do you really think they are soldiers and horses of the camp on the outskirts of Beijing? How could this king put his net worth and life on someone he couldn't control. ”

Emperor Qingming's face changed suddenly, "They are your private soldiers!"

No wonder, no wonder the prince is so emboldened!

But how is it possible, these soldiers and horses have just traveled a long distance and experienced a big battle, aren't they trimmed! The end of the war is only one day, and they can travel a hundred miles from Yanling to the capital, and they have to hide their whereabouts and change their battle clothes on the way, how can they be in time!

Zhao Chengyuan smiled, "Exactly." They exterminated the 50,000 dragon guards of the imperial brother in Yanling, and then rushed to the capital non-stop, and then the imperial brother personally welcomed them into the city to rebel against you and seize your throne. ”

There was a burst of laughter from behind.

It was the laughter of Zhao Chengyuan's private soldiers.

The laughter was presumptuous and loud, full of mockery, like a rumbling thunder rolling by, rumbling and rolling in the ears of Emperor Qingming, deafening.

Emperor Qingming's throat rolled, and his mouth was full of fishy sweetness.

If it is the soldiers and horses of the camp on the outskirts of Beijing, he still has a chance of winning, but if the other party is the soldiers and horses of the ghost-faced general, even if the Royal Forest Army and the Dragon Guard work together, I am afraid that they will not be their opponents!

King Chengjun looked at the Imperial Forest Army in front of him, as well as Deputy Commander Liu, who had been hesitant over there, and said in a deep voice, "Do you still think that the crown prince did not storm the palace just to deceive you?" These soldiers and horses were only 40,000, and they wiped out the emperor's 50,000 dragon guards in two hours, with their combat strength, if they didn't want to affect the innocent, why bother so much! ”

"The King of Jin and the crown prince don't want to kill you, and they don't want to kill the 30,000 innocent soldiers in the camp on the outskirts of Beijing, so they don't hesitate to risk falling short. Soldiers, this king knows that you are all loyal and valiant soldiers, but you must know that he is worthy of your allegiance! ”

King Chengjun's words were impassioned and deafening.

At this time, the officers and soldiers of the Imperial Forest Army completely understood what had happened inside and outside the imperial city in the past two days.

They have also heard the legend of the Ghost Face General countless times, the Northwest War, the Ghost Face General was invincible, and he was the hero in their minds, the god of war.

Now that the Ghost Face General was in front of them, he was the King of Jin they were familiar with, and the reverence in their hearts was even greater.

If the king of Jin had the intention of seizing the throne and stealing the country, he could have ignored the war in the northwest at that time, but took advantage of the fire to rob and attack the capital. But the king of Jin had a great righteousness, put his selfish interests behind the righteousness, helped the northwest army retreat thousands of miles from the enemy, and solved the danger in the northwest of the Great Zhou.

On the contrary, what are the emperors who they protect with their lives doing?

It is using war to eradicate meritorious heroes, and it is raging and killing.

A guard thought of his brother, who had been guarding the gate of Kunning Palace, and was killed by Emperor Qingming because he did not stop Concubine De from approaching.

His brother was loyal to the emperor and kept telling him, "You and I in the palace are related to the lives of the whole family, and we must act cautiously, and we must be loyal and loyal to the emperor." ”

But what is the result? Did my brother survive?

He muttered, "It's not worth it." Not worth ......"

The murmur became louder and louder, he raised his head, his eyes were firm, and he looked at Emperor Qingming and shouted, "It's not worth it, you are not worthy of our loyalty to fight for our lives!" ”

Someone chimed in, "Yes, it's not worth it!" ”

"It's not worth it!"

"It's not worth it!"

……

The soldiers of the Imperial Forest Army have been suppressed for a long time under the obscenity of Emperor Qingming, and they are angry in their chests, and they finally have a way to vent at this time.

More and more people joined them, and they put away their swords against the prince and the ghost-faced general, and their shouts became louder and louder, and the crowd became more and more angry. The sound of anger was like a spark of fire, and it suddenly showed the trend of burning the prairie in an instant.

Majestic and angry voices echoed in the night sky.

Emperor Qingming's eyes were cracked, "It's the opposite, it's all the opposite!" ”

"You've turned it back, but you've thought about your people! If you are defeated, you are not afraid of being connected to the Nine Clans! ”

But no one listened to his threats, and the soldiers of the Royal Guards who had protected him with their lives were now aimed at him with their swords.

There are also the guards of the Imperial Forest Army hidden on the four city walls, and the strong crossbows and arrows have also turned around, aiming at Emperor Qingming.

King Chengjun was proud, and the soldiers and horses he brought out were loyal and loyal, but he could also distinguish between right and wrong, and knew current affairs.

In this way, a bloody battle was avoided.

Zhao Chengyuan raised his hand, and the shouting immediately stopped, and there was silence all around.

Zhao Chengyuan looked at Emperor Qingming and said, "Now, can we settle the account?" ”

Emperor Qingming sneered, "As long as it doesn't reach the last moment, I don't think I'll lose, and your account will not be settled." ”

"Oh?" Zhao Chengyuan smiled and said, "Brother Huang feels that he didn't lose, is it the five thousand dragon guards around the Qianqing Palace, or the five thousand dragon guards outside the imperial city?" ”

Emperor Qingming saw that he knew so clearly, and the smile on his face froze, "What else have you done?" ”

Zhao Chengyuan said, "The imperial brother sent a signal to the outside of the palace three quarters of an hour ago, isn't it strange why they haven't arrived yet?" ”

Emperor Qingming's heart sank.

He also made a special agreement with them today that once the signal was issued, he must rush to the palace immediately. At their speed, it would only take a quarter of an hour to get there.

Emperor Qingming said in a cold voice, "Do you know where they are hiding? ”

Zhao Chengyuan smiled, "Yes." ”

Emperor Qingming was awe-inspiring, they had just met at noon, and everyone was fine at that time. Now that only three or four hours have passed, how can so many people be subdued silently?

It would be fine if they were in one place, but those dragon guards were scattered in different places, the purpose was to prevent the hiding place from leaking and being taken away.

is so scattered, they are all strong in martial arts, and there is even a temporary hiding secret passage in the house, how many people does Zhao Chengyuan have to use to quietly dispose of so many people at the same time!

Emperor Qingming said, "You only have 20,000 soldiers and horses entering the city, Ruo Zhen's estimate is right, now that they are all here, where do you have so many people to deal with the 5,000 dragon guards!" ”

Zhao Chengyuan said, "Brother Huang won't think that this king only has such a few soldiers and horses, right?" This king has 50,000 soldiers and horses, but in fact, there are only 40,000 soldiers and horses that led the snake out of the hole in Yanling, where did the remaining 10,000 go, guess it? ”

Where does Emperor Qingming still need to guess, "You made arrangements in the capital early!" ”

"Exactly."

Zhao Chengyuan paced to Emperor Qingming, glanced at the second and third Jias who were on guard behind him, and said lightly, "You don't have to be nervous, this king hasn't settled accounts with him yet, and he won't kill him." ”

The first, second, and third were unmoved, still standing in front of Emperor Qingming, blocking Zhao Chengyuan.

"Stand down." Emperor Qingming spoke.

Jia, Er, Jia, and San, then retreated behind Emperor Qingming.

Emperor Qingming looked at Zhao Chengyuan and said, "I still say the same thing, until the end, I will not admit defeat." ”

Zhao Chengyuan smiled, "Okay, since the imperial brother wants to fight, then the king will accompany him to the end." The people that the king wanted to protect were saved. ”

After he finished speaking, he turned to King Chengjun and said, "Please ask Brother Wang to let the soldiers of the Royal Forest Army step down, and the charge of rebellion will be borne by this king." ”

King Chengjun was not worried that Zhao Chengyuan would lose, he had 20,000 soldiers and horses, and Emperor Qingming's 5,000 dragon guards were still out of sight.

He arched his hand and said, "Yes!" ”

He waved his hand, "Soldiers of the Royal Forest Army, let's just watch the excitement on the sidelines, and look at the demeanor of the ghost-faced generals!" ”

"Yes!"

With the clanging of swords returning to their sheaths and the sound of clattering armor, the guards of the Imperial Forest Army scattered in all directions, making room for the two warring sides.

Before the Royal Guards had finished retreating, they heard the sharp sound of sharp arrows whizzing through the air.

The dragon guard hidden around the Qianqing Palace suddenly came out of the darkness, and the strong bow and crossbow were aimed at Zhao Chengyuan's direction, violently shooting out a dense rain of arrows.

This kind of strong bow and crossbow is extremely penetrating, ordinary shields can't resist their attacks at all, they are so strong to take the lead, just want to attack them unprepared to kill the opponent's main general, messing up their position.

Zhao Chengyuan did not dodge, but calmly waved the long sword in his hand in the rain of arrows, which was obviously a long arrow with terrifying strength, and in his hand it seemed that the strength was easily dissolved in an instant, and it became weak and weak.

And behind him, Zhao Chen, King Chengjun, General Li, and their guards were all first-class masters, these arrows and crossbows were not lethal to them, they calmly blocked the long arrows, and built a wall in front of the soldiers that was stronger than a shield.

However, the soldiers behind them were quite dissatisfied, and on the strong bows and crossbows, they returned in the direction where the long arrows came.

The soldiers and horses in the back row, under the cover of the rain of arrows, rushed towards the direction of the dragon guard like a raging wave.

The opponent's dragon guards were thin, and they had just known that the 50,000 dragon guards who had gone out were annihilated, and they were already afraid of the ghost-faced general, and they were cowardly before they fought. Now when he fights with the opponent's soldiers and horses several times his own, he is completely clear about the strength of the other party, and his fear is even greater, and he is panicked when he fights.

For the Ghost Face General's soldiers and horses, this was just a slaughter, an easier one than in Yanling.

But this is a key battle for their prince who has been dormant for many years and has become a big thing, and everyone is full of enthusiasm and momentum.

The roar of thunder and the sound of killing resounded in the sky.

The sky is as black as ink, the night is boundless, and the palace under the sky stands majestically under the brilliant lights.

This royal palace has stood for hundreds of years, witnessed countless killings, and also witnessed countless splendors.

The hearts of the people are clear, and the world is long.

Which is right and which is wrong can only be written in the history books and left to future generations to judge.

Amid the shouts of killing, Jia Er and Jia San also entered the battle, and the targets of the attack were the King of Jin and the crown prince.

They know very well that these two people are the backbone of the rebels, and as long as they die and the dragons have no leader, the world will still be the emperor.

Zhao Chengyuan and Jia Er handed over, and he understood what the prince said before, in his previous life, he had been entangled by Jia Er and Jia San and could not get out, if it wasn't for the queen's accident in Fenglou, he might not be so easy to win in that palace change.

In his previous life, Long Wei had 50,000, as well as 10,000 Imperial Forest Army, as well as the private soldiers of Zhenguo Gong and Yongping Hou, and his soldiers and horses were 50,000.

The fight of more than 100,000 people, how tragic the scene was, he couldn't imagine.

In the previous life, the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty were really hard. He reduced some of his sins in this life, and he should make up for his own sins in the previous life.

On the other hand, Zhao Chen had a lot more difficulty dealing with Jia San, even if Wei Xiao was on the side to help, it was not easy.

King Chengjun didn't move, he was on guard against Emperor Qingming.

Many people only know that Emperor Qingming knows martial arts, but they don't know the depth of his martial arts. King Chengjun clearly knew that Emperor Qingming's martial arts were not weak. He was afraid that Emperor Qingming would suddenly help Jia Er or Jia San, so that the King of Jin and the crown prince would be worried about their lives at any time.

Luo Ping and Ye Chang, who were beside King Jin, did not enter the palace, and were left in the Dingguo Mansion to protect Princess Jin with Han Shizi. As for the Duke of Guo, King Chengjun was also very curious about where he was arranged by King Jin.

Therefore, although they have abundant soldiers and horses in this battle, they are still in short supply of first-class masters.

King Chengjun suddenly narrowed his eyes, and keenly noticed that Emperor Qingming's hand moved, and a dart was thrown at King Jin.

As soon as his body moved, he raised his sword to block the three darts that fired in a row, and then attacked Emperor Qingming!

Emperor Qingming's sneak attack failed, and the anxiety in his heart became worse. If he can't win Zhao Chengyuan and Zhao Chen, he will lose completely. Aman is still in Kunning Palace, and if there is such a commotion outside, she must have been alarmed.

But he didn't even have a chance to send someone to comfort her and rearrange her. If Aman is frightened, or is finally discovered by others......

Qingming's eyes were red, and his attack became more and more ruthless, pressing on King Chengjun step by step, and he made a killing move.
