The guards stood stunned on the spot, not daring to move again.

The rich night color lined Pei Chong's face coldly, but there was a hint of a smile, which slowly escaped from the corner of his lips.

"Let's go, kid."

The north wind shouted, and outside the gate of the mansion was the sound of gold and iron brought by the hand-to-hand soldiers, and from time to time there was a miserable scream, and the smoke rose into the sky, and the firelight seemed to illuminate the sky.

Ji You hurried over, "King, it's too late to go." ”

The people sent by Li Zongxun had the intention of killing, and when they came up, they released rockets, and at this time, most of Pei's mansion was burned.

The flames soared into the sky, reflecting into Pei Zhen's eyes, killing the abnormal.

He asked Pei Chong coldly.

"Do you want me to die with you here?"

Pei Chong looked at his expression of not being angry and arrogant, and showed a smile of relief.

"Feng Twelve Niang is far away in Andu, you are dead, how can she live?"

Still in the mood to joke about him?

Pei Chong snorted coldly, slowly stepped forward, and stared at Pei Chong, "Rather than letting you die in the sea of fire, or fall into the hands of Li Zongxun to threaten me, it is better to kill my father with my own hands." ”

Boom.

The beams of the main hall collapsed in the flames with a loud bang.

Pei Chong turned his head suddenly, and there was a moment of distraction.

This is his house, where there are bits and pieces of him and his beloved wife. But all of this will be swallowed up by the fire demon in the blink of an eye......

Pei's mansion is gone, and he will also be buried here, with his wife for a long time......

Almost at this moment, Pei Zhen saw the opportunity, took a step forward, choked his arm hard, and motioned to Zuo Zhong-

"Bring the rope."

Pei Chong came back to his senses at this time, his brows tightened, "You dare!" ”

Pei Chong didn't look at him, and tied up the person two or three times, with a blank expression, as if he didn't realize that he was committing the following crimes, tied up Pei Chong, and ordered Ji You in a cold voice.

"I'll cover you, take people out, and escort the old general to Xijing."

Ji You clenched his fists in response, "Yes." ”

Zuo Zhong: "King, what about you?" ”

Pei Chong glanced back at Pei Mansion, who was more than half engulfed by the fire, wrapped the spirit cards on the table in brocade cloth, and stuffed them into Pei Chong's arms.

"Let's go."

The battle at the North City Gate was tragic, and the soldiers of the Beiyong Army were fighting a bloody battle with a group of elite forbidden troops.

The city was full of dragon-like torches, and the footsteps of soldiers shook the sky.

Li Zongxun was still dispatching troops and horses to come to the rescue.

Pei Yan took the lead and led the guard battalion to the north city gate.

The forbidden army guarding the city at the gate of the city suddenly saw Pei Ji coming over, and he was blinded.

Didn't you say that King Yonghuai went to the Forbidden Garden?

How can they come back to the city gates?

I don't know if the Beiyong army led by Helian Qian outside was attacking too fiercely, or Pei Zhen was caught off guard by the divine soldiers descending from the sky and crushing the morale of the forbidden army.

In just a quarter of an hour, the defense of the north city gate was scattered by Pei Zhen.

Pei Zhen: "Open the city gate!" ”

The heavy iron door opened with a clang.

Helian Qian led the iron cavalry of the Beiyong army and rushed in with a shout.

Seeing Pei Zhen, the Beiyong army roared hoarsely, and their faces were full of excitement and joy after the bloody battle.

Helian Qian grabbed the horse rope and shouted, "The king is leaving, I'll wait for the break." ”

Although they broke through the north city gate, as a veteran of the battlefield, Helian Qian knew very well that with the garrison situation in Zhongjing, it was really difficult for more than 10,000 people to gnaw down this city, and it was already a blessing in misfortune that they could retreat......

However, Pei Zhen had no plans to leave.

"The soldiers of the Beiyong Army obey the order."

He rode on his horse and said in a deep voice:

"Li Zongxun is perverse, authoritarian and overstepping etiquette, confusing the royal bloodline, causing chaos in the court, today we will enter the forbidden garden, swear to be the king of Qin, for the Beiyong army, to seek justice!"

"Whoa!"

"Whoa!"

"Whoa!"

A sound of drinking, like a tsunami in the mountains, was heard far away in the night sky of Zhongjing City.

-

Ten miles outside the city, Shi Kui immediately stopped with a horizontal sword, looked at the fire in the city for a while, and slowly raised his hand to stop the march of the large army.

"What a fire!" The general rode to his side and gasped, "Look at this situation, I'm afraid the city is already in chaos." The Beiyong army entered the city, and the group of pampered straw bales of the forbidden army were not opponents. ”

He frowned, and suddenly showed an excited expression.

"At this moment, it is a good time for my Tiger Ben Army to show its might and make contributions, General Shi, I will enter the city quickly and save the driver."

"What do you save?" Shi Kui smiled, "Your Majesty is in heaven." ”

The general was stunned, and he hadn't heard Shi Kui's voice yet.

I heard the herald behind him shouting, "Report-"

A figure quickly ran to Shi Kui, panting and saying:

"General Shi, I found that a small group of people and horses of the Beiyong Army were fleeing in the direction of Xijing......"

Shi Kui raised his head and glanced at the blazing Zhongjing City, his eyes slowly narrowed.

"Let them go."

The herald was surprised.

The general also looked at him blankly.

"General Shi ......"

Shi Kui froze for a moment, slowly returning the knife to its sheath.

"We are the people of the army, not the big inner horseman, chasing and fleeing and taking the murderer, it is not our business."

All around him were his henchmen.

As soon as he heard this, he fell silent.

So far, no one can see through the situation in Zhongjing.

Today's fight is a mess, and it is not up to them to interfere with which one of the people who will sit on the dragon chair tomorrow.

Rather than standing on the wrong side of the line and dying with no place to be buried, it is better to retreat to the next best thing, watch from the wall, and patiently wait for the icing on the cake......

The people around him laid down their weapons.

Shi Kui stroked his beard and sighed.

I borrowed winter clothes last time, and this time I will send a favor, he can be regarded as worthy of Pei Zhen, right?

One day, if he is in trouble, won't Pei Zhen raise his noble hand?

The general asked: "General Shi, what should I do now?" ”

"Rest and recuperate." Shi Kui didn't say what was in his heart, but said: "A good man doesn't suffer immediate losses." Wait and see how the battle will play out before making a decision. ”

-

The cold wind swept across the long street, the goshawk rushed into the fire-filled sky, making a terrible cry, Pei Qiang rode on a horse, hunting and flying in the corner of his clothes, looking at the direction of the city gate, the light in his black eyes crossed for a moment, like Biyong bloodthirsty, and like a cuckoo warm.

"Shi Kui's favor, I wrote it down."

Helian Qian said: "It's still the king's clever calculation, and Shi Kui didn't dare to declare war with the Beiyong army head-on......"

Pei Yan did not speak.

Helian Qian said again: "Without further ado, it is better to give up the fight for the city gate and raise a large army to enter the Forbidden Garden......"

Shi Kui and the Tiger Ben Army all stood by and watched, and Helian Qian felt that there was no better opportunity than this.

Pei Yan said: "Don't be reckless, act according to the plan." ”

Yesterday, when he went to the camp of the Beiyong Army, he and Helian Qian made a plan for today.

Taking advantage of Li Zongxun's dispatch of troops to encircle and suppress, the General's Mansion sang an empty city plan, and then transferred all the private soldiers in the city to ambush outside the Forbidden Palace. The fire on this side was together, and Pei Zhen led the city to feint on the other side, making Li Zongxun chaotic. Helian Qian took the opportunity to lead the Beiyong army to attack the North City Gate and cover the departure of the women, children, and children in the house......

But today's situation is very different.

The chaos in the city has alarmed the people, in the night of the first few days of this year, because of the rocket of the forbidden army and innocently set fire to the houses, more and more, more and more dense, the fire is in the sky, the snow can not extinguish the fire, in a short time, the fire has been reflected red half of the sky, everywhere thick smoke billows, shouts, the capital is like a purgatory on earth......

Hearing Pei Zhen's block, Helian Qian was a little unconvinced.

"What are we waiting for? Time is running out......"

Pei Yan glanced at him, "The Beiyong Army fought bloodily, fighting for one breath, not the throne." ”

"King!" Helian Qian was stunned for a moment, and soon understood.

The military heart is a flag, in order to seek justice, you can suppress that breath and fall to one side, and fight to the death for Pei Zhen, but if you really fight for that dragon chair, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not think about it, and the military heart will be shaken.

At this moment, the forbidden army in the city is several times their number.

Don't take it lightly and fall into Li Zongxun's trap.

Helian Qian: "The last general understands!" ”

Zhongjing is changing, Li Zongxun will not be without a follow-up move, Pei Zhen's feint attack can temporarily confuse the guards, but it can't deceive Li Zongxun.

He knew very well how many people Pei Zhen had in his hands, and how many people he had......

The chess pieces were all placed on the bright side, but what Li Zongxun didn't expect was that he couldn't wait for the good news of the Tiger Ben Army outside the city for a long time.

"Is Shi Kui being dragged by the Beiyong Army?"

Li Zongxun muttered suspiciously, and when he turned his head, he saw Li Sangruo's tearful face.

"What are you crying about?"

He shouted loudly, and Li Sangruo's tears fell very sharply.

"Father, haven't you woken up yet? We did it wrong, we did it wrong at the beginning, we mistakenly believed Tang Shaogong's words, and treated Pei Yan as an enemy. We forced him down this path......"

"It's you!" Li Zongxun didn't save her the slightest face, "If it weren't for your lust and sabotage my plans again and again, where would you be today?" ”

Li Sangruo's face turned red, and he said in a trembling voice: "The matter has come to this, let's admit it, if he wants to establish Yuan Shangyi as the emperor, he will go with him, anyway, no matter who is the emperor, I am still the queen mother......"

"Stupid! Something that doesn't fight. Li Zongxun was about to reprimand when a huge cheer suddenly came from outside, and then someone came to report.

"Prime Minister, Shi Kui's army stopped ten miles outside Zhongjing City and stopped. The north gate city defense was taken over by the Beiyong army, the west gate was falling, the forbidden army defending the city was not the opponent of the Beiyong army, Pei Zhen personally led the troops to kill the forbidden garden......"

"Father!" Li Sangruo's voice trembled in fright, and he stood up, "You can get an idea quickly, no matter how late it is, it will be too late." ”

Li Zongxun walked to the window and looked up at the sky.

The snow didn't stop, the wind was stronger, and the whole city seemed to be in a sea of fire.

He closed his eyes, "It's all Tang Shaogong." ”

"Father...... So what do we do? Sitting still? ”

Li Sangruo's voice became more and more nervous, and the attendants around him also looked at him with blank eyes.

It's time to make a decision.

Li Zongxun was stunned, and thought for a long time before saying: "For today's plan, the only way to do this is to break the cauldron and sink the boat!" (End of chapter)
