Ning Guogong didn't expect that Lu Chengting would suddenly bring people into the palace to rescue him, but thinking of the troops he had in his hands now, he calmed down again.

"Lu Chengting, these hundreds of people you brought are the strongest elites around you, although they are strong in martial arts, but if you want to use such a small number of people to fight against me, I advise you not to dream.

I might as well tell you that now the 50,000 Praetorian Guards in the palace are in my hands, the 30,000 horses in the camp on the outskirts of Beijing are also under my control, and the 100,000 troops in my hands are rushing towards Kyoto at full speed.

Your small manpower is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg. Lu Chengting, you have guarded the border passes for Zhao Junzhuo since you were a child, and you have made countless achievements, but you were just poisoned in the battle with Western Xia, and Zhao Junzhuo took back the military power in your hands.

and your grandfather's soldiers and horses, which were also controlled by the people he sent, and now that your father's whereabouts are unknown, needless to say, the troops in his hands will also be collected by Zhao Junzhuo to the imperial court.

No matter how much your grandfather has paid for the court for three generations, Zhao Junzhuo's dog will not show mercy to your subordinates, he will only care about your high achievements. Rather than ending up with a bird hiding a good bow, it is better for you and me to join forces and pull the dog emperor off the horse.

When I ascend to the throne and crown you king, all the forces in the court can be put under your control. How about you and I join forces to create the strongest dynasty in the future? ”

Although Lu Chengting brought not many people, all of them were strong in martial arts, and he was not sure if his body had fully recovered. For Lu Chengting, Ning Guogong still has some scruples. Although he is young, he is a natural general, and his countless military exploits have been fought back from the battlefield, and there is no fraud.

And in Ning Guogong's heart, he admired the three generations of the ancestors and grandchildren of the Zhenguo Mansion, and he didn't want to see Lu Chengting killed by him in order to maintain the emperor. Lu Chengting's prestige in the army cannot be underestimated, if he takes the throne, he also needs a general like Lu Chengting to help him fight the world.

Instead of killing him, it is better to turn him around and use him for his purposes.

Xiao Jinyue listened to Ning Guogong's words, and really didn't know if Lu Chengting would be bewitched by him, after all, almost all the Praetorian Guards in the palace were now controlled by Ning Guogong, and the troops of the camp on the outskirts of Beijing were also in his hands. In addition to these, another 100,000 soldiers and horses are approaching Kyoto at full speed.

And on their side, due to the rush of time, Lu Chengting is afraid that he does not have many troops. Although the three generations of the ancestors and grandchildren of the Zhenguo Mansion fought for the sky, the troops in the hands of the old Guogong and Lu Chengting had been taken back by the emperor, and those men and horses were all in the north, so it was too late to come back to support.

Although the troops in the hands of Zhenguo Gong have not been withdrawn by the emperor, his whereabouts are now unknown, and his troops are in the south, which is also far away and cannot quench his thirst.

The temptation of Ning Guo's public conditions is really not small, not only to make Lu Chengting king, but also to hand over all the forces in the court to him to control, and to share the world with him and create the strongest dynasty together.

Except for the name of the throne, this is actually no different from the emperor.

This is a change for ordinary people, and I am afraid that they will not be able to resist the temptation that Ning Guo openly said.

Fortunately, Lu Chengting's choice did not disappoint Xiao Jinyue.

Faced with the big cake painted by Ning Guogong, he was not moved at all.

Lu Chengting said coldly, "You are wrong, the troops in the hands of my grandfather and I are not from the Zhenguo Mansion, but from the imperial court, and they should have been returned to the emperor."

Thank you Ning Guogong for looking up to Lu so much, but my town government will only be loyal to the court and the emperor. Whatever I Lu Chengting wants, I will get it with my own ability, and Lu disdains to work with a rebel and thief like you who are plotting to usurp the throne. ”

Lu Chengting's resounding words made the emperor's hanging heart finally fall. He was really worried just now that Lu Chengting couldn't resist the temptation and was reversed by Ning Guogong. If even he turned against Ning Guogong, he was afraid that he would really have to explain today.

If he dies, he will die, but the Jiangshan Society that his ancestors fought down was destroyed in his hands, and he had no shame to see his ancestors when he died.

Fortunately, Lu Chengting did not live up to the old prince's teaching to him from childhood to adulthood, and did not live up to his loyalty to the imperial court.

Seeing that Lu Chengting couldn't be reversed, although Ning Guogong felt a little pity in his heart, there was no way to do it. But as long as he takes the throne, he is not afraid that no one will fight for him. In this world, there are many people who yearn for power. As long as he promises his official position and wealth, I believe that countless people will compete to serve him.

Ning Guogong sneered and said, "Since you have to defend Zhao Junzhuo's dog thing, and don't hesitate to lose your life for him, then I have nothing to say." Pang An, do it. ”

Just when Ning Guogong gave the order, Lu Chengting took the first step to draw the sword on his body and led the elite soldiers brought over to resist the Praetorian Guards led by Pang Commander.

The scene immediately became chaotic, and in the blink of an eye, the joyful and peaceful birthday feast turned into a river of blood.

Ning Guogong confidently stood on the sidelines and watched the battle, originally thinking that with the 50,000 Praetorian Guards in his hands, he would easily defeat the little manpower in Lu Chengting's hands, and then kill Zhao Junzhuo's damn dog thing, and then take the throne from him.

However, it didn't take long for him to realize that things weren't going the way he expected.

Of course, Lu Chengting would not be as stupid as Ning Guogong thought, and he would resist Ning Guogong with just the few men and horses in his hands.

After receiving the letter brought to him by Xiao Jinyue and Chi Yan, Lu Chengting immediately summoned people to investigate.

When he learned that almost all the Praetorian Guards in the palace were bought by Ning Guogong, the general who was responsible for commanding the 30,000 horses in the camp on the outskirts of Beijing was secretly assassinated by Ning Guogong, and the 30,000 horses were also controlled by the generals under Ning Guogong, and the 100,000 soldiers and horses in the hands of Ning Guogong were also secretly approaching Kyoto.

He immediately quietly entered the palace and found the emperor who was imprisoned by Ning Guogong.

The emperor was originally angry about the affair between the third prince and the concubine, but there was no major problem with his body, it was Ning Guogong who bought the chamberlain next to him, drugged him, and then secretly imprisoned him.

said to the outside world that he was sick from the affairs of the third prince and could not go to court.

After listening to Lu Chengting's investigation, the emperor immediately handed over the tiger talisman in his hand to Lu Chengting.

After leaving the palace, Lu Chengting told his grandfather what happened, and the old prince immediately took the talisman and went out of Beijing to mobilize troops to stop Ning Guogong's 100,000 soldiers and horses.

Lu Chengting went to his father-in-law, Xiao Pingyuan, and asked him to transfer troops to the nearest state capital to Kyoto to fight against the 30,000 troops in the camp on the outskirts of Beijing.

And Lu Chengting gathered all the guards and secret guards of the Zhenguo Mansion, and went to summon the guards of the Jin Palace. Time was in a hurry, there were too few people available, and Lu Chengting also collected all the guards in the palace of those loyal to the emperor in Beijing.

In addition to these, the 50,000 Praetorian Guards guarding the palace were not all bought by Ning Guogong, and Lu Chengting secretly gathered some of them who were loyal to the emperor.

And after King Jin drank the medicine that Xiao Jinyue asked Chiyan to secretly bring him, he quietly took over the secret Shenlongwei from the emperor who was dedicated to protecting the emperor's safety.

Relying on these hands, Lu Chengting and King Jin simply resisted the Praetorian Guards in the hands of Ning Guogong.
