"Retreat!"

With a loud noise, the courtiers came out slowly, standing outside the hall and bowing to the six marquis, Duan Jin and others were surrounded in the middle, this feeling of being complimented, indescribably happy, constantly bowed their hands to the courtesy, and saw the ironclad giants who were higher than the civil and military forces, and then saw Su Chen on the side.

"Weihou!" Duan Jin squeezed through the crowd and walked towards the opposite side.

Before entering the palace, they already knew that Su Chen helped the prince Shu ascend the throne and made himself prime minister, general, and marquis. Originally, I thought that I and the others would be rewarded after entering the palace, but after going to the court, I found that Su Chen did not come, and met with some of their old ministers in the court, and the words of encouragement from the queen mother.

"Don't come unharmed!"

Su Chen was dressed in a military uniform today, and returned the salute, "Something happened early this morning, and I was busy outside, so I didn't come to greet your uncles and uncles, so I hope you don't want to be surprised." ”

It was probably Su Chen who was here, and the civil and military forces who had originally surrounded the six people scattered one by one, and the remaining five people saw Duan Jin talking to Su Chen, and they all came over to salute.

"The last general is Zhong Ji, the general under the command of the Marquis of Liaoxiang, meet the Marquis of Wei!"

"No courtesy." Su Chen nodded with a smile, and then thought of someone: "Wang Huaiyi is the son of your family, it just so happens that he is also in the palace, I will send someone to summon him." ”

Wang Huaiyi is the eldest son of Wang Jing, the marquis of Liaoxiang, who entered Beijing during the court meeting last year, and later learned to be outstanding and was left by Beigongye's side to listen to it.

After breaking Yanjing, there was basically no political affairs to participate in, and Su Chen had seen it once in the palace.

Not long after, the palace people who were sent came back, and there was an extra young man beside him, wearing the official robe of the permanent servant, with a handsome appearance, a slight short beard on the upper lip and chin, a slender and straight figure, respectfully bowed to Su Chen, and then bowed to Duan Jin and others.

Zhong Ji, one of the six, didn't dare to worship, walked to the side and arched his hand: "Seeing that the prince is fine, Master Hou should be relieved." Immediately, he also expressed his gratitude to Su Chen, after all, it was a great luck to enter the palace and not be affected by the soldiers.

At this time, a eunuch came over and whispered something in Wu Zixun's ear, the latter hurriedly walked to Su Chen's side and whispered, Su Chen nodded, and then instructed Wang Huaiyi.

"Wang Changshi, wait a while, you can take six people to meet the Queen Mother, this is etiquette, and it cannot be abolished."

Then he arched his hand towards Duan Jin and the others: "Uncles and uncles, just follow Wang Changshi, he is familiar with the road in the palace, and I have other things to do." ”

Seeing that his face was different just now, everyone couldn't help but be suspicious, Zhao Guangwei was impatient, and spoke before the others: "What's wrong?" ”

"It's just a little bit, I can handle it. You lords have been fighting on the battlefield for many days, you should rest for a night, recuperate your spirits, and I will accompany you tomorrow! ”

Su Chen bowed his hand to them, pressed the hilt of the knife and turned around and walked down the stone steps, there was a soldier over there, he turned over, arched his hand to this side again, and urged the horse to move forward slowly, and the ironclad man carried the double halberd and followed at the same time, there was a boom boom...... With the sound of heavy footsteps, a group of armor soldiers with shields and halberds neatly walked out from the other side and followed behind.

The six people's eyelids jumped when they saw it.

"Let's go and see the Queen Mother."

Duan Jin reined in his thoughts, smiled again, and said to the other five, and Wang Huaiyi on the side also nodded and made a request.

Everyone reacted, put away the gaffe just now, followed Wang Huaiyi, accompanied by the palace guards, and went to Yongning Palace together, Xiangyun Hall to meet the Queen Mother.

The six of them came first, and they were taken to the side hall by the eunuchs to wait, leaving a few palace maids to accompany them, but Duan Jin and the others noticed that these eunuchs looked hurried, but they restrained themselves in front of the guarding Xiliang soldiers.

The sun rose above the clouds and shone into the window lattice, and the nearby palaces seemed quiet, and the maids served refreshments. The six of them, plus Wang Huaiyi, were all quietly in the side hall, occasionally talking a few words, and from time to time they would look at the Xiliang soldiers outside the hall, standing in a posture of pressing knives, and they could see that these were all fierce soldiers.

"Why hasn't the Queen Mother come yet......"

"I've drunk too much tea, I'm going to pee!" Hun Hou Zhou Xiang has not been to the thatched house since entering the palace, he has been subjected to the court, and he came here to meet the Queen Mother, and after waiting for a long time, he couldn't hold it back, so he got up and arched his hand to the others, and asked the waiting palace maid to take him away.

The side hall is also a place to go to the toilet, but most of them will not be located nearby, follow the palace maid walked more than ten zhang, through a long corridor, only to see that there is an independent small room in the corner.

Hun Hou finally let go of the water happily, and as soon as he pushed the door out, he saw a tall eunuch in the afterglow, passing by a corner next to him, there was such a tall eunuch in the palace, he was a little strange.

He glanced at the palace maid waiting at the entrance of the corridor, pretended to go back, and walked very slowly past the corner to see if he could still see the eunuch.

Before it passed, faintly, I heard the sound of talking.

“…… This is entrusted by the Queen Mother, and it must be handed over to the loyal ministers after leaving the palace. ”

"Hmm."

The voice that answered, though a simple word, could be heard in a thick manly voice, not the sharp hoarseness of a eunuch.

"Broken ......"

Zhou Xiang bypassed that side, walked back to the palace maid quickly, and returned to the side hall pretending to be fine, he glanced at the palace maid and eunuch nearby, and came to Duan Jin, who was talking to Zhao Guangwei.

He lowered his voice and said, "Something happened, let's find a chance to go back and inform Weihou." ”

Duan Jin and the others saw that his face was different, and they wanted to ask him, but Zhou Xiang signaled to the surrounding palace maids and eunuchs to be ears and eyes, so they stopped talking, and soon, a eunuch came over and said that the queen mother was sick today, and she didn't see you.

The six of them immediately bowed to the place where the queen mother lived, and then quickly left the main hall here, and waited until they left the imperial city in a carriage and stayed at the post house.

Hun Hou Zhou Xiang was pulled into the room by everyone to ask him what was going on, and the former told him the truth about what he heard when he went to the toilet.

"The Queen Mother is going to make a secret decree to get rid of Su Chen?"

"Will there be a fake?"

Zhao Guangwei pondered for a moment: "What's the use of faking for me and a few others?" ”

"What if the last general is talking about what if Weihou finds someone to cheat?"

"That's useless, play a play where the Queen Mother decrees to get rid of him, what does it have to do with us except for watching the play?" Zhou Xiang couldn't figure out the key, and others couldn't figure it out either.

"And what if it's true?" Wubao Hou Long Yien frowned: "We and Su Chen are also in the same breath, and we have also guessed how he will treat us after entering Beijing, but now it is enough to give us face, uncle and uncle shouted, if this matter is true, how can we ignore it?" ”

"I guess Su Chen has already noticed it." Duan Jin stroked his beard, stood up and took two steps back and forth, "I didn't see him say today that he was going to deal with some things, involving conspiracy in the palace, I just sat down and watched the play, don't get involved." ”

Everyone nodded their heads in response, but that night, the few people who were just about to fall asleep were awakened by the sound of horses' hooves, and a voice was already shouting:

"The thieves who rebel against the country are all here, kill these six people first, and then enter the palace to rescue Your Majesty and the Queen Mother!"

The guards under his command brought by Duan Jin and others had already been killed together, and for a while, the weapons outside the post house exchanged weapons and shouted killing.

Duan Jin and the others who were sleeping woke up one after another, and their own soldiers called out to their own Hou Ye outside the door: "There are thieves in the city who are making trouble, don't go out of the house, we will fight and guard!" ”

The sound of the fight continued, and even spread to the other courtyard for a time, Duan Jin and the others were also frightened, standing behind the door with weapons, paying full attention to the situation outside the door.

After a while, the sound of fighting outside gradually stopped, and the guards guarding the door opened the door.

"Master Hou is fine, Weihou's soldiers and horses are reinforced, and the thieves who were killed fled in a row."

Duan Jin walked out of the house with weapons, and Zhou Xiang, Zhong Ji and others in the other rooms also came out cautiously, and the six of them gathered together and walked outside with the guards in the courtyard, and there were corpses everywhere under the eaves, and the more than 1,000 people they brought with them died dozens of people and injured more than a dozen people.

After inquiring about the commander of the guards, I learned that more than 300 people broke through the wall and broke the door to kill them, and dozens of soldiers on duty were hacked to death on the spot.

Duan Jin and Zhao Guangwei walked out of the post house, the streets outside were covered with blood, and there were several corpses, looking like soldiers in the army, more like Jianghu people raised by large families.

Zhao Guangwei smacked on the ground and scolded fiercely: "These conspirators really don't know whether they live or die!" ”

Listening to the collision of weapons and the sound of fighting in the city, the sound faintly penetrates the night.

Duan Jin pursed his lips before he said after a while, "Let's go, go back and continue sleeping."

……

The figures who returned to the post house were all looking at several pairs of eyes at this moment, and on a pitch-black attic near the post house, Su Chen looked over there, a little puzzled.

"Can this be done?"
