As Qin Wei expected, when the news of his takeover of Anning Weisi and Xin'an Mansion City spread, those rebel ministers hidden in the officialdom also took action.

Wudong Weisi is the southernmost of the six Davids in Shuzhou.

In the yamen of the Wudong Wei Division, the commander Yang Luzheng sat in the main hall with a frown.

Below the main hall, Li Xing, who was wearing a white robe, squinted at the letter in his hand.

Li Xingnai was an elder of the Wushan Temple in Yunzhou, in his sixties, with a nine-grade cultivation, and the letter in his hand was sent from Shuzhou City, and the content was about Qin Wei's takeover of Anning Weisi and Xin'an Mansion City.

"My lord, this Xin'an County King's methods are really extraordinary!"

Li Xing pinched the letter in his hand and said thoughtfully.

Yang Lu had never seen Qin Wei, but he was no stranger to Qin Wei at all, or most of the officials and martial artists in Dali had heard of Qin Wei now.

After all, now Qin Wei is no longer unknown, on the contrary, with the establishment of the Tianzhou Town Martial Division, Qin Wei's prestige has also spread throughout Dali.

"Lord Tang means let's raise the flag to respond to the Hou Ye! What do you think? Yang Lu asked.

Raising the flag means that they will completely show the fact that they are rebellious, and there is no room for repression.

Although Yang Lu had joined Chang Pinghou a long time ago, he also expected that Chang Pinghou would rebel one day, but now, he was still scared in his heart.

Rebellion, that's a matter of punishing the Nine Clans.

If he still had a choice, he might change his mind now, but unfortunately he was too deeply involved with Chang Pinghou, and there was no chance to choose again.

In contrast, Li Xing does not have these worries and worries.

Their Wushan Hall was not a loyal minister of Da Li, and even before Da Li issued a martial order, they were a group of rebels who occupied the mountain as the king.

It was only later that Emperor Lihuang promulgated the Shangwu Decree and gave them a chance to be above board, and they restrained a little, after all, they also wanted to rely on the privilege of the Shangwu Order to gain benefits among the people.

But in fact, even after the promulgation of the martial decree, they still did not change the essence of occupying the mountain as king.

Li Xing chuckled and said, "Since it is Lord Tang's will, we will follow it." ”

"But once we raise the flag, it will inevitably become the target of the king of Xin'an." Yang Lu said with some apprehension.

"We are in Shunan, and the king of Xin'an is still in Shudong, and he can't help us in a short period of time."

"And as long as we raise the flag, then others will inevitably respond, and by that time, the entire Shuzhou will be surrounded by rebels, so why should we be afraid of the king of Xin'an County!" Li Xing said with a smile.

In his opinion, it is not of much use for the king of Xin'an County to come to Shuzhou, because they have already controlled a lot of military power in Shuzhou, as long as all these military powers are transformed into righteous troops, then Shuzhou is in the bag.

The king of Xin'an only has 5,000 soldiers, and the soldiers of Anning Wei are only 20,000, so he can't change the situation in Shuzhou at all.

"My lord, Lord Hou is still waiting for your loyalty!"

Li Xing saw that Yang Lu was still hesitating, and said softly.

Yang Lu's face changed slightly, he took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice: "This official knows!" ”

He has no way back, so he can only follow Chang Pinghou to the dark.

There is no point in hesitating, it is better to make a decision early and die early.

And with Yang Lu's decision, a bloody storm immediately broke out in the Wudong Wei Division.

Although he has absolute control over the Wudong Guard, it is inevitable that there are still some stubborn people, so he can only ruthlessly eliminate these stubborn people.

Forty-five years of martial arts, the second day of the second month of February.

Under the leadership of Yang Lu, Wudong Weisi responded to Changping Hou and officially joined the Yunzhou Righteous Army.

And with Yang Lu's raising of the flag, Shuzhou was completely plunged into chaos.

Within the Davids, many officials followed, killing the superiors, seizing the power of the army, occupying the city, and plundering the wealth.

For a time, war broke out in all parts of Shuzhou.

Even the city of Shuzhou was not spared.

……

On the city wall of Shuzhou.

Liu Yuanrang, dressed in iron armor and holding a spear, stood on the city gate tower, looking down on the city with a gloomy face.

At this time, the city of Shuzhou was completely chaotic, a large number of rebellious ministers and thieves were in chaos in the city, and the Yamen of the Dusi Division, the Yamen of the Political Division, and the Yamen of the Judicial Division were all on fire.

Billowing smoke obscured the sky and turned this bustling city into hell.

"My lord, it's not good, the officials of the Yamen of the Political Secretary are attacking our warehouse."

Tang Mingcheng, the commander of the Du Division, hurriedly ran over and shouted loudly.

Liu Yuanrang's face changed.

"Not good!"

There is not only a large amount of money and grain in the warehouse of the Dusi Yamen, but also a lot of crossbow armor, if these officials are allowed to obtain bows and crossbows, then their combat effectiveness will be greatly improved.

"Liu Fu, follow me to the warehouse!" Liu Yuanrang shouted urgently.

Then, he hurried away with hundreds of soldiers in the direction of the warehouse.

When he resisted the warehouse, he saw a large group of people besieging the warehouse.

"Kill!"

He shouted.

With a spear in hand, he took the lead.

However, before he could rush to the door of the warehouse, he suddenly felt a bone-chilling chill behind him.

With instinct, he leaned slightly sideways.

Flutter!

A silvery-white spear head pierced his shoulder.

"Sir!" Liu Fu was shocked.

Hurriedly stepped forward and cut off the spear with a knife.

Liu Yuanrang looked back at the owner of the spear, with an incredible look in his eyes.

"How could it be you?"

The owner of the spear was none other than Tang Mingcheng.

Among the many officials in the Yamen of the Dusi Division, Liu Yuanrang was the least suspicious of Tang Mingcheng, because Tang Mingcheng was born in the Wushang Marquis Mansion, and his elder brother was Tang Mingyue, the Marquis of Wushang.

"Could it be that Wu Shanghou is also!" Liu Yuanrang was a little afraid to think about it.

"Hahaha, how come? My eldest brother has a stubborn personality, how could he betray His Majesty Emperor Li? Tang Mingcheng smiled wildly.

"But he doesn't want to betray, then I'll help him betray!"

"You!" Liu Yuanrang pointed at him, his face pale.

"Liu Yuanrang, you can't blame me, you can only blame you for not coming to Shuzhou! Don't worry, I'll give you a good time. Tang Mingcheng said.

"Take him!"

I saw him waving his hand and pointing directly at Liu Yuanrang, and the officials of the political secretary behind him pointed directly at Liu Yuanrang with crossbow arrows.

It turned out that he had already occupied the warehouse of the Yamen of the Dusi, and even gave all the bows and crossbows in the warehouse to the Yamen of the Political Division.

Let Liu Yuanrang come here just to kill Liu Yuanrang.

Liu Yuanrang looked up at the arrows that flashed with cold light, and the pupils in his eyes shrank suddenly.

For he saw a man behind the chief minister.

Shuzhou political envoy Cheng Yu.

Even the political envoy is a person from Chang Pinghou!

"Why!"

Liu Yuanrang didn't understand.

He didn't understand why Cheng Yu and Tang Mingcheng would choose to betray Da Li.

But no one could answer his questions at this time.

A sharp sound of breaking through the air sounded, and a large number of arrows flew in.

Liu Yuanrang couldn't help but fall into despair.

He didn't expect it to turn out like this.

I thought I could defend Shuzhou City, but I didn't expect that he would die here in the end.

"Your Majesty, it's the incompetence of the ministers!"

Liu Yuanrang was full of powerlessness.

His time in Shuzhou was too short, so short that he didn't grasp the specific situation of Shuzhou City at all. I didn't have time to cultivate my own lineage.

Da Da Da ~~

There was a sudden sound of horses' hooves.

"Damn the traitor!"

A heroic roar sounded from behind Liu Yuanrang, and the next moment, a page of door panels fell in front of Liu Yuanrang.

Aggressive~~

The bolt landed on the door panel.

Liu Yuanrang fell into stupidity.

He looked back blankly.

I saw a gray-haired old man galloping on horseback, the old man holding a glaive knife, his gray beard fluttering on his chest.

In the blink of an eye, the old man came to Liu Yuanrang and slashed Tang Mingcheng with a knife.

Rumble~~

Tang Mingcheng was in a hurry, so he could only raise the gun in his hand to block.

However, the next moment, the barrel of the gun in his hand was cut off, and the whole person flew out upside down like a cannonball.

"Lord Liu, let's go!"

The old man shouted urgently.

Liu Yuanrang came back to his senses suddenly, but smiled helplessly.

"Master Ji, thank you!"

The old man in front of him was the commander of the capital division and the same knowledge Ji Fei.

Ji Fei served as a commander in Shuzhou for ten years, and Liu Yuanrang initially felt that Ji Fei should be the most likely person to be bought by Chang Pinghou.

At this time, Liu Yuanrang was full of bitterness, the person he suspected was a loyal minister of the court, and the person he did not suspect became a rebel. He was a little skeptical that he was really incompetent.

But now is clearly not the time to worry about that.

"Let's go!"

"Lord Liu, Shuzhou City can't hold it, withdraw from the East City Gate!" Ji Fei resisted the arrows that were fired, and at the same time did not forget to remind.

Liu Yuanrang didn't say much, and fled towards the east city gate with a group of remnants.

At this time, Tang Mingcheng got up from the ground, and he looked at Ji Fei with gloomy eyes.

"Ji Fei, you old thing, damn it!"

"Hahaha, if the old man is ten years younger, he will cut off your head!"

"Tang Mingcheng, we'll see you again in the future!"

Ji Fei didn't say much, and seeing that Liu Yuanrang had gone away, he no longer entangled, and drove his horse to turn around and gallop away.

He came and went fast.

A door panel saved Liu Yuanrang's life, and Tang Mingcheng was seriously injured with a knife.

"What are you doing in a daze, chase me!"

Tang Mingcheng yelled angrily.

The perfect plan actually failed completely because of Ji Fei.

The point is that this Ji Fei actually mocked him.

It's a pity that no matter how angry he is, Ji Fei has already run away.

……

Outside the city of Shuzhou.

Liu Yuanrang stood beside the official road in embarrassment, looking at the fact that there were no pursuers behind him, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Master Ji, thank you for saving your life!"

He thanked Ji Fei again.

Ji Fei sighed melancholy and said, "It's too early to say that we can save our lives, let's think about how to explain to Your Majesty." ”

As the commander and commander of the Yamen of the capital, he abandoned the city and fled, which was enough to make them lose their heads.

Liu Yuanrang was full of decadence, "Why is this happening?" ”

Ji Fei shook his head slightly, "Lord Liu, Chang Pinghou has been operating in Shuzhou for nearly ten years!" ”

"Almost all the officials of Shuzhou, large and small, have received the favor of Chang Pinghou, and they have already boarded the thief ship of Chang Pinghou, and it is difficult to get down now."

"But what will Tang Ming rebel against?" This is what Liu Yuanrang can't understand the most.

Ji Fei was silent for a while, and said, "Every family has a scripture that is difficult to read!" This Tang Mingcheng is a wolf with ambitions, he doesn't care about the Marquis Wushang Mansion at all. He even wished that the Marquis Wushang's Mansion was finished. ”

"So he is dissatisfied with Wu Shanghou?" Liu Yuanrang asked.

"The old man doesn't know, but his relationship with the Marquis of Wushang's Mansion seems to have always been bad." Ji Fei Dao.

Liu Yuan let out a bitter smile.

It doesn't seem to make much sense to study these now.

He looked at the soldiers beside him, and the bitterness in his eyes became even stronger.

In the end, only more than 300 of the 8,000 city guards escaped, and he couldn't take care of the rest.

"Hey, what are we going to do next?"

"What else can I do, go to the king of Xin'anjun!" Ji Fei said as a matter of course.

"It seems that Master Ji has already planned everything." Liu Yuanrang looked at him in surprise.

Ji Fei laughed, "Lord Liu, the old man has been in Shuzhou for ten years. ”

"Could it be that Lord Ji already knew that Chang Pinghou would rebel? Then why not report to the court in advance? Liu Yuan gave way.

Ji Fei shook his head and said, "How could the old man not report it, it's just that no one believes it." ”

Before Qin Wei found out that there was a problem with the Imperial City Division, who would think that Chang Pinghou would rebel?

In fact, Ji Fei didn't think that Chang Pinghou would rebel at first, but his performance in Shuzhou officialdom over the years made him feel very wrong, and he felt that Chang Pinghou had different intentions.

It's just that he doesn't have any clear evidence in his hands, so even if it's playing, it's useless.

may even be charged with framing the nobles.

Therefore, he could only remind the court in a more subtle way, but unfortunately neither Lihuang nor the court understood what he meant.

"Let's go, let's go to Xin'an Mansion City first, with His Royal Highness the King of the County here, we will definitely recapture Shuzhou City!"

Ji Fei said confidently.

Although his official position is lower than Liu Yuanrang, his character is more tenacious than Liu Yuanrang, and he knows Shuzhou more deeply than Liu Yuanrang.

Don't look at the current Tang Mingcheng and they have occupied Shuzhou City, but in his opinion, Tang Mingcheng's treacherous plan will not succeed.
