Feng Zidu originally planned to ask Deng Guanghan to move the guards of Changle Palace to open the palace gate, and then go straight to Changxin Palace, hijack the Empress Dowager Shangguan, and force her to issue an edict to depose Liu Xun's throne.

He was discussing with Huo Shan and Deng Guanghan how to open the palace gate, when he suddenly heard a scream, Deng Guanghan was hit on the head by a projectile shot from nowhere.

Feng Zidu was stunned, and didn't dare to look at Deng Guanghan, whose face was covered with blood, and carried the unconscious Deng Guanghan home in a hurry. In desperation, he had to command the black-clothed soldiers to attack the west of Changle Palace.

Feng Zidu has no actual combat experience, one can speak the east, and the other can speak the west. The black-clad soldiers were busy for more than an hour before breaking the gate, rushing into the palace city, and fighting with the palace guards in the square for a while, losing many soldiers.

Feng Zidu stood in the empty square, looking around blankly, as if he didn't know what to do next. Huo Shan followed beside him, and reminded at this time: "The Queen Mother's bedroom is Changxin Palace, let's go there quickly." ”

Feng Zidu woke up like a dream, waved his sword and shouted, "Go to Changxin Palace." A large crowd of people hula rushed in the direction he was pointing.

Bypassing several large halls, Huo Shan was out of breath, pointing to a palace standing on a high platform and shouting: "Changxin Palace." ”

The crowd hula stopped, someone shouted a few times, and a passage was quickly made in the middle of the crowd. Feng Zidu hurriedly ran over, deliberately slowed down when he was about to reach the front of the crowd, and after walking a few steps slowly, he stopped, and stood with his sword raised.

He looked up, a trace of joy passed over his face, then he sank his face again, thought for a while, and said in a low voice: "Go up, don't disturb the Queen Mother." ”

Several martial artists dressed in short clothes and wearing curls were eager to make meritorious contributions, and rushed forward with shouts.

Feng Zidu's gaze moved up with those martial artists. He has followed Huo Xian here many times. Looking at the familiar steps and the familiar hall, he was so nervous that his heart was about to jump out, and he felt that he was about to run out of breath, so he stretched out his right hand and stroked his chest, and closed his eyes slightly. At this moment, there was a powerful bowstring firing in my ears, followed by several screams.

Feng Zidu shuddered, and opened his eyes suddenly, only to see those martial artists howling and rolling down the steps.

He looked up in horror and found that there were several rows of archers standing densely on the empty platform.

"Archers?" He heard someone beside him exclaim, turned his head to look, it was Huo Shan, and looked at it with a surprised expression.

"The palace guards don't have archers. What kind of people are these? Huo Shan asked suspiciously.

Dressed in red silk and wearing crowns with the iconic feathers of the Crane Tail on their heads, the archers looked down with solemn expressions.

"Feather Forest Army." Feng Zi couldn't believe his eyes, and if he looked closely, he was indeed the outfit of the Yulin Army.

"How can there be a Yulin Army in Changle Palace?" Huo Shan was also confused.

At this time, the archers of the Yulin Army retreated in turn, and a group of shield bearers and school swordsmen of the Yulin Army wearing armor and crowns walked to the high platform of the main hall with an old man in their arms.

The old man put his hands behind his back and said loudly: "Marquis Leping, how dare you enter the palace without being summoned by the Queen Mother." ”

"Wei Xiang?" Huo Shan became more and more surprised. He took two steps forward, confirmed that it was Wei Xiang, and glanced at Feng Zidu.

Feng Zidu was also puzzled, and said, "Why did Wei Xiang come here?" Also with the Yulin Army. ”

Huo Shan raised his head and shouted, "Prime Minister, why are you here." ”

Wei Xiangdao: "There are rumors in the government and the opposition that some people are plotting rebellion, and I am ordered to protect the Queen Mother, why are you here?" Dare to rebel. ”

Huo Shan was nervous by what he said, and he was silent for a long time before he said: "After the emperor is fooled and suspicious of the heroes. Huo's innocent victims, the government and the opposition were cold, and endangered the community, so they invited the queen mother to calm the world. ”

Wei Xiang smiled and said, "This is not true. The general assisted the Han family and was loyal. His Majesty was grateful for his merits, built the Qilin Pavilion, and the general was the first hero, who had erased the general's merits. As for the children of the Huo family, they are also very kind, and they worship the marquis and do not despise them. However, how can you repay Your Majesty, tyrannical and extravagant. His Majesty is a great general, but he does not raise it. You should have reformed your ways, but you are stubborn, arrogant, and now you are plotting rebellion, how can you comfort the spirit of your ancestors in heaven. ”

Huo Shan was about to answer, Feng Zidu glanced up at the sky, leaned into his ear and said, "Don't talk to him, just attack quickly." ”

Wei Xiang saw Feng Zidu muttering in Huo Shan's ear, knowing that there would be no good words, so he pointed at Feng Zidu and said, "Feng Yin, you are a bewitching male pet who dares to incite the Huo family to rebel, what should you be guilty of." ”

Feng Zidu was not doing well today, he was angry at this time, and he didn't care about his image, he crossed his waist with one hand and pointed to it with the other, leaned back, and screamed: "Wei Xiang, what crime should you be guilty of after you have bullied the Huo family and killed loyal ministers. If there is no Huo family, how can the current emperor be? The emperor didn't want to repay the favor, but embarrassed the Huo family everywhere, which was unbearable. ”

Wei Xiang was furious and said sharply: "Ignorant fanatic, the emperor is ordered by the sky, how can you be allowed to put your beak." Thou art a slave, but thou hast put thy lord to death, and thou hast betrayed virtue and righteousness, and thou shalt be condemned by heaven. The so-called good will be rewarded with blessings, and those who are wrong will be rewarded with disaster. If you act so recklessly, it is tantamount to asking for your own death. ”

Feng Zidu's face turned pale with anger, and he grabbed Huo Shan and said, "You get out of the way." ”

Huo Shan hesitated for a moment, then leaned to the side and gave up the position in front.

Feng Zidu waved his sword and shouted, "Rush forward and advance——。 ”

The black-clad soldier roared, "Wow." Then they formed a phalanx, raised their spears, and marched upwards step by step.

Changxin Palace is the dormitory of the Queen Mother, built on a high platform. In front of the main hall is an empty platform, surrounded by stone bricks, the palace gate is facing the steps, the steps are very high, not wide, at most more than ten people in parallel.

Wei Xiang led the Yulin army to guard the platform, the archers leaned against the stone gan to aim underneath, and the school swordsmen and spearmen gathered in front of the steps.

He had inspected the terrain before, and was worried that the black-clad soldiers could not attack the platform, so he ordered the archers to fire arrows from both sides, and the pikemen to meet the enemy, and the incoming enemy to block the enemy at the bottom of the steps. If an enemy rushes onto the platform, the sharpener must kill them.

Before long, the two armies engaged in battle on the steps, and the shouts of killing continued.

Although there were many black-clad soldiers, they all attacked from this step, so they were huddled into a pile, and one person in front fell down, blocking the people behind. As soon as there were many people, spears were staggered, and it was inevitable that they would push each other, and some people would be squeezed to the edge of the steps and fall down.

Feng Zi didn't know the tactics of war, and when he saw this scene, he would only keep urging the soldiers to rush forward.

Seeing that the attack had been repeatedly frustrated, Huo Shan was anxious, ran to Feng Zidu's side, and stammered: "You can't attack like this anymore." The steps here are too narrow for our armourers to wield, and there are archers on them, but we have no shields, which only increases casualties. Besides, even if it is attacked, the Empress Dowager Shangguan may not be in the palace. ”

Feng Zidu looked up for a while, and the black-clothed soldiers rushed on the steps, indeed in a dilemma. He pondered for a long time, but still couldn't make up his mind.

Huo Shan became more and more anxious, and said, "Stop the attack first, and then find a way." ”

Feng Zidu had no choice but to order the troops to be withdrawn. He looked at the high platform, depressed in his heart, and suddenly thought about it, all the Yulin troops in Chang'an City are here, then, Weiyang Palace must be empty.

"Weiyang Palace-" This word kept coming to his mind, and after a while, he felt dizzy, and he didn't care about discussing with Huo Shan, and the ghost envoy waved his sword and shouted: "Go to Weiyang Palace, get rid of traitors, and settle the world." ”

The black-clothed soldiers also shouted: "Eliminate the traitors, and the world will be peaceful." ”

Huo Shan was surprised in his heart, ran to Feng Zidu's side, and asked, "What are you doing in Weiyang Palace, the emperor is not there." ”

Feng Zidu's white face was covered with sweat stains. He brandished his sword, and shouted at the top of his voice: "Go to Weiyang Palace, get rid of traitors, and calm the world." Then he turned around, raised his sleeves and wiped the sweat on his face, and said to Huo Shan: "You see, the Yulin army is gathered here, and they can't be attacked urgently, and Weiyang Palace will inevitably be empty. We will attack the east and west, go to Weiyang Palace to win the jade seal of the country, and we can command the world. ”

Huo Shan didn't have any ideas, and when he heard Feng Zidu say this, he followed everyone to the east of Weiyang Palace.

Wei Xiang hurriedly commanded the Yulin Army to guard the Changxin Palace, but unexpectedly, the black-clothed armored soldiers retreated. Before he could figure out what was going on, the crowd in Huo Mansion was like a falling tide, and they all withdrew from Changle Palace.

The palace that was still noisy and noisy just now suddenly quieted, he breathed a sigh of relief, and suddenly felt exhausted, sat on the ground with his legs limp and muttered: "Except for the traitorous minister, it turned out that I didn't mean it." ”
