Chapter 149: Rebellion
Xiao Chengze whistled through his mouth, and the smooth commander Hai Dongqing attacked, Yuwen Yanfeng obviously didn't expect it, and there was this hand, so he didn't prepare in advance, even if they wanted to attack Hai Dongqing, Hai Dongqing was able to dodge it in time, so it was directly messed up into a pot of porridge.
Coupled with the protection of the people of the eight-story tower, the two sides successfully reached a draw, but the draw was far from enough, and they were now in desperate need of a crushing victory. If you can keep Yuwen Yanfeng in one game, it will naturally be better.
With the sound of bad breath, it was not only Hai Dongqing who came, but also a large number of officers and soldiers who were neatly dressed, and rushed out of the city directly with bows and arrows to meet Xiao Chengze and them.
That's right, this is the manpower he has arranged a long time ago, Xiao Chengze has already arranged a part of the manpower to wait here before setting off to save Zhou Yunyi in Qi State, because once he sets foot in the territory of Qi State, he will face all kinds of dangers, if he wants to go to Qi Country with a large number of manpower, it will be easy for people to find out, but as long as he can drag people to this border line and have manpower to answer it, it will be much safer.
The last time Situ Rou brought someone to pick him up, so this wave of people didn't use it, but fortunately, they didn't send them back, but let them continue to wait in the same place, which came in handy.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, there are too many of them, the heroes don't suffer the immediate losses, let's withdraw first." Shen Tu Tang persuaded Yuwen Yanfeng.
Yuwen Yanfeng also understood that the current situation was very unfavorable to them, so he directly ordered a retreat.
"Don't let them run." Xiao Chengze waved his hand, and dozens of bows and arrows shot directly at Yuwen Yanfeng.
Xiao Chengze looked at the direction where everyone left, his heart was dissatisfied, and he was a little more cloudy, now this situation is really getting more and more cheap, the dignified prince of Qi actually dares to hunt them down to such a spirit, even if they are in Qi country, they have now made trouble in the land of Great Xia, it can be seen that their ambition is not a day or two.
"The ministers are late for rescue, and I ask Your Majesty to punish them." The archers knelt on the ground, afraid that if they came a little later just now, Yuwen Yanfeng would really hurt His Majesty the Emperor.
"No, you came in time, if it weren't for you, I'm afraid we would have been really lucky." Xiao Chengze had already calculated in his heart that it would take them to come here, so it couldn't be considered too late.
Moreover, Hai Dongqing came first and resisted part of the troops for them.
"I wonder if you need me to escort you for the next journey?" Shi Jinhua's eight-story tower also packed up their weapons, and now listening to Hou Xiao Chengze's command, there are so many people who have come to respond, he obviously doesn't need them anymore.
"Along the way, if there is the rest of the money from Miss Jinhua, I will ask someone to send it to the eight-story tower, and as for the golden silk pearl fan, I will also compensate according to the price." Zhou Yunyi felt that it was not interesting to hide it at this time, so he simply picked out the matter of the golden silk pearl fan, anyway, as long as they returned the money now, I believe that the eight-story tower will not trouble them again.
"Then wait for the good news." Shi Jinhua left with a group of girls.
Xiao Chengze had the support of all the officers and soldiers, and completely restored the emperor's style. Zhou Yunyi naturally had the scenery of the queen according to the light, they rushed to the capital in a medium carriage, although it was the emperor's royal car, but it was better not to make a noise outside, they wanted to return to the capital as quickly as possible.
It's just that they just walked to the small town near the capital when they heard bad news.
Xiao Chengtian raised troops and rebelled.
When Zhou Yunyi heard the news, he was very shocked, he didn't expect Xiao Cheng to rebel innocently, he originally thought that it would be impossible for him to rebel within 12 years of being in Taoguang.
"What name did they raise their troops for?" Zhou Yunyi asked Xiao Chengze with some trepidation.
"Qingjun's side."
Zhou Yunyi instantly had a bad premonition, Qing Jun's side refers to clearing the scourge around the king, but Xiao Chengze does not have this kind of person around him now, and only promoted Xiao Chengyu to be a prisoner, which doesn't mean that he wants to get rid of Xiao Chengyu.
"He wants to kill King Duan?" Zhou Yunyi asked.
"That's right. He wanted to ascend to the throne in the name of getting rid of King Duan. ”
Zhou Yunyi, panicked, didn't know what to do? After all, he had never experienced a power struggle. "Xiao Chengze, what should we do now? I'm afraid that the ministers really think that Xiao Chengyu used some means to imprison you in the palace? If they were all on Xiao Chengtian's side. Xiao Chengyu definitely has no way to withstand it. ”
"There is also Situ Rou by his side, Situ Rou is a hole card I put next to him, in fact, I always felt that Xiao Chengtian would not give up so easily, so I also asked Situ Rou to go back first, stay in the capital for a while, and don't go back to the frontier first."
"As long as General Situ is here, we will have the ability to compete with Xiao Chengtian."
Zhou Yunyi can only pin all his hopes on General Situ now, General Situ heard that he is the most upright person for so many years, and he has never done anything against his conscience, presumably he will continue to uphold justice in this operation.
"General Situ is now stationed at the border with his troops, and if he comes back, I'm afraid it will take a lot of time. I'm a little scared now, if the border guards withdraw now, will the Qi State take the opportunity to make trouble. ”
Xiao Chengze now has to consider not only internal worries, but also external troubles, external troubles are also a very terrifying thing for them, if they attack Xiao Chengtian by then, and ignore the attack of Qi State, Qi State will be able to fight with each other at that time, and the fisherman will benefit, this kind of thing is the last thing they want to see, so if they want to resist Qi State, they must leave a part of the troops at the border pass, but in that case, if they are left and fight with Xiao Chengtian in Beijing, they will not have an advantage.
After careful consideration, Xiao Chengze still decided to leave some soldiers to guard the frontier. But the number of people left behind is very exquisite, and after thinking about it, he finally decided to return 80% of the troops to the capital, and the remaining 20% of the troops to resist the border defense.
Xiao Chengze immediately sent the letter with Hai Dongqing, and at this critical time, Hai Dongqing's speed was much faster than that of the carrier pigeon, so he used Hai Dongqing to replace the carrier pigeon.
Wang Shi's nerves also became nervous, because their current identities were kept secret from the outside world, and it was very likely that the people in the court would not know, but Xiao Chengtian might not know? If he knew, he would definitely send someone to intercept and kill them, and then use a fake news to say that the emperor died at the hands of King Duan, so that he could change the public opinion of the world in a grand manner.
"Woohoo."
"My life is really bad, I used to follow my eldest brother and second brother to eat on the island, but now I have picked up a life, but I also ended up like this, and I began to be displaced again with you."
The ghost saw that he was crying in the house and cried a lot, since he knew that Zhou Yunyi and Xiao Chengze were members of the royal family in Great Xia, he also hoped to be able to eat with them in his heart, but now that the good food has not been mixed, it will change again, he is really sad.
"If you cry again, I'll kill you directly." Wang Shi was obviously very impatient, at this time, he was already annoyed enough by himself, and he was crying when he saw the ghost, and he was crying next to him to make him even more annoying.
"I'm just complaining casually, why are you so fierce?"
Wang Shi is not a tyrannical person, so naturally he will not really kill people, but he is also fed up with ghosts crying and crying all the time. "I'll give you two choices now, first, you also go and get a piece of military equipment to fight side by side with us, and second, where do you come from and where do you go back?"
"I'll pick one." Ghost Crying This time it was a refreshing choice, and he chose one because even if he returned to the ghost city of Fengdu, there was nothing to be nostalgic for, and in such a harsh environment, it was already very difficult for him to survive.
Originally, his two elder brothers were mainly based on them in everything, and they were careful in their lives, but now that the two elder brothers have died, leaving him alone with a sea of blood and hatred, even if he can't live a good life, he has to stay here and wait for the opportunity. Avenge your two older brothers.
"Someone will bring him a piece of clothing, and a weapon that he will have in hand."
Ghost Cry Cry Along the way, Lan still looked like he had been wearing his tattered clothes for many years, and the fabric on his body had some cracks and threads, and the color of the fabric was fading.
Don't say that when he puts on that new dress, he really looks like a ghost, but his long hair covers his eyes and face. It looks dirty.
"This iron knife is forged according to the specifications of the army, sharpen the iron like clay, you take it and try it, it should be quite handy, and your hair will be combed for a while, and then go wash your face, don't get dirty."
Wang Shi told Onimi to cry to keep his appearance clean. After all, now the ghost is crying, and following them can be regarded as His Majesty's soldiers, this look is embarrassing.
A quarter of an hour later, Oni Wai tidied up all his messy hair and made it into a small tug, which looked clean and tidy on his head.
"It's clean, it's pretty white." Wang Shi praised.
"You come with me, and I have a task for you."
The two of them came to the carriage where Zhou Yunyi was one after the other.
"The queen mother will cry to protect you from now on."
This idea is Xiao Chengze thought of the ghost crying before, it is also a rare talent for them, if he can be taken under his command, it is also excellent, if the two sides really fight the battle for imperial power, then he has no time to protect Zhou Yunyi, Wang Shi was originally a guard, but now his ability and talent are very much Xiao Chengze appreciates it very much, and wants to promote him to be a deputy general.
That's why he handed over this important task to Ghost Sword Crying.
"You're crying."
Zhou Yunyi looked at the neatly dressed and even some delicate-looking person in front of him, and couldn't believe that he was such a sloppy person who washed his face and changed his clothes, and the change was so big.
"It's me."
"It's so handsome."
Zhou Yunyi couldn't help but praise.
It's a little embarrassing to see the ghost crying.
"Thank you, Queen." Wang Shi had already handed it over to him on the way here, and when he saw Zhou Yunyi, he wanted to call the queen mother, otherwise it would be disrespectful and impolite.
