If Liu Ceye hadn't discovered this matter a few days ago through the people he had placed next to King Kang and took precautions, he would have been confused tonight and would have really become a prisoner.

Unlike Wei Juren, who only felt very happy afterwards, after Chen Sida was freed, the more he thought about it, the more frightened he became.

Being able to escape tonight was, in his opinion, nothing more than a fluke. Thinking of the scene where he was being held against by Pei Xiaoyuan's people with knives and guns, he was even more resentful.

When there is no continuation, it will be disturbed.

One Pei Xiaoyuan is enough. Since he came to Chang'an, Chen Sida often has trouble sleeping at night, not to mention, and now there is suddenly another princess who falls from the sky. This princess is more and more favored, and her relationship with the queen, the Liu family and even the crown prince is not counted in the hearts of discerning people? His current glory and wealth, and even his net worth, are all tied to the prince. At the moment when the princess officially returned to the court, he felt the huge pressure like a mountain, and then he secretly met with Liu Ceye, expressed his worries, and urged Liu Ceye to make up his mind to do it first, so as not to fall behind in the future, and he didn't know how to die at that time.

However, in this matter, Liu Ceye showed his usual indecisiveness, or rather, he was afraid of the emperor, and he had no courage to cause trouble, and refused to follow Chen Sida's advice.

The words he used to persuade Chen Sida were always to wait patiently, saying that their real opponents were only Feng Zhenping and King Kang.

The emperor only has two sons, as long as he keeps an eye on Feng Zhenping and King Kang, and when the emperor is ten thousand years old, everything will fall into place, and at that time, everything else is just a trivial matter.

Chen Sida was born in the military, and in his early years, he was able to stand out in the Shenhu Army and get Pei Gu's respect, so he was naturally not an ordinary mediocre person, he had long thought about doing a big thing, and he secretly recruited henchmen for it and planned for a long time.

Normally, Liu Ceye would persuade him like this, but after this incident happened tonight, Chen Sida couldn't listen to it at all. In his opinion, tonight the camp is out, and the hundred men and many soldiers are drunk and sleeping in the feast, so it is better to seize this excellent opportunity and take advantage of the situation.

As long as you take advantage of the unpreparedness of others, in the case that no one expected, strike first, kill all the people of Feng Zhenping and King Kang overnight, and then hold the emperor hostage, you can support the crown prince to the throne.

But without Liu Ceye's support, Chen Sida did not dare to act rashly, after all, this is not a trivial matter.

To Chen Sida's surprise and surprise, Liu Ceye was probably under increasing pressure, and he didn't know when the emperor would kill the prince and the Liu family because of the princess, but tonight he was moved by him, and finally made up his mind and agreed to his plan. At that moment, several people secretly summoned their henchmen overnight to arrange big things.

The main force involved in the mutiny was the Shenwu Guard led by Chen Sida, who came with him, plus the leading guards loyal to them who were bought off on weekdays, and the Prince Guard, with a total of two or three thousand guards. After the discussion, everyone dispersed, prepared for action, and made an appointment to launch a mutiny together in the early morning when they were sleeping deepest, with fire as a signal.

After Chen Sida and other generals who were about to participate in the operation tonight secretly left, the prince was excited and extremely nervous, and kept walking around in the tent, and suddenly he rushed to Liu Ceye, bowed, and choked in a low voice: "Uncle, Mao'er was negligent this time, and caused a big deal for his uncle, but fortunately his uncle rescued him, and arranged such a strange plot tonight, if it happens, from now on, Mao'er will take his uncle as the head of everything." Just ......"

He stumbled, and stopped.

Liu Ceye's eyes flashed with a strange light: "Isn't the prince afraid that things won't work out?" ”

The prince was broken by a word. The emperor's sharp eyes appeared in front of his eyes, and he couldn't help but shudder.

"Uncle, I ......" he muttered, but he didn't dare to say it after all, but unexpectedly, Liu Ceye nodded.

"The prince is right to be cautious. Uncle might as well tell you the truth, and he will not dare to have too much faith in what happened tonight. ”

The prince was shocked: "Then why do you still want to allow General Chen to cause trouble?" This...... If we fail, we're all done! ”

"Prince, can't you see? Chen Sida relied on his past achievements, and in the past two years, he has become more and more arrogant, and he has raised a group of people, but he no longer takes me seriously. He had already planned to do it, and he pressured me more than once, and he took the opportunity to bring it up again tonight. Even if I don't agree, I can't guarantee that he will collude with anyone one day, and at that time, if he succeeds, maybe even the prince and you will deal with it together, and if it fails, we will also suffer. Therefore, my uncle will plan and let him do it tonight to get rid of Feng Zhenping, King Kang, and those people for us. ”

The prince was stunned and reacted: "Where is Your Majesty?" ”

"That's what my uncle wants to tell you. After he made his move, the guards rushed to His Majesty's imperial tent as originally planned, but it must be personally led by you, after you arrived, immediately expose Chen Sida's crimes to Your Majesty, let Your Majesty know that you don't know anything about it in advance, it was all Chen Sida's own doing, and then protect Your Majesty and the princess! Chen Sida took a risk, and tonight is undoubtedly self-defeating, but if he can kill King Kang and them as planned, His Majesty will have no choice in the future, and you will be a great benefit to the crown prince. In case he doesn't succeed, if you have the skill of escorting, he won't be able to die for a while, and if he gets involved with us, it will naturally be all his dogs jumping over the wall and biting people indiscriminately. Even if Your Majesty suspects, with the families behind us, he can't do anything to us. ”

Tonight's incident, whether Chen Sida can or not in the end, is not a bad thing for the prince. So Liu Ceye pretended to agree and told him to let go and give it a go.

It took a while for the prince to fully react, and he bowed to Liu Ceye: "Uncle is clever!" Mao'er is grateful, everything is arranged by her uncle! ”

At that time, when the entire camp was immersed in the deepest deep dream, accompanied by the light of a sudden rising tent burning fire, Chen Sida and his henchmen took the Shenwu Guard and the Leading Guard, and acted according to the plan. All the way to the false edict, saying that Feng Zhenping Kang Wang was plotting rebellion, ordered to protect everyone, and quickly controlled many unsuspecting officials and generals who were still asleep, as well as the vassal kings of Cao State, An State and other countries. There were also seven or eight cronies of Feng Zhenping and King Kang, who didn't understand what was going on, and were touched into the account and killed with a knife.

On the other hand, Chen Sida personally led the military army and pounced directly on Feng Zhenping and King Kang's bed.

It can be regarded as Feng Zhenping's fate, in the first half of the night because the plan fell through, not only failed to bring down the prince as he wished, but tired himself to punish and win the title, and when he came back, he was ashamed and resentful, and he didn't sleep deeply. The two sides fought together.

Although Feng Zhenping was also a military general, after all, he was already old, not as strong as Chen Sida, and the response was hasty, but the other party came prepared, and was soon defeated, and was forced to run on his horse under the protection of the people around him. Chen Sida led people to chase after him, and after chasing him out of the camp for several miles, he surrounded him on all sides and successfully trapped Feng Zhenping, King Kang and others in it.

At this time, Feng Zhenping was injured, King Kang's unkempt hair was scattered, and he ran so that his boots were gone, the two of them were embarrassed, and they were falling into despair, thinking that tonight or the real general would die, suddenly, there was a sound of golden drums behind him, and he turned his head to look, and in the distance in a gradually approaching light, he vaguely saw that Prince Ashina led a team of Wuwei men and horses to kill him.

Before he could react, there was another drum sound in the other direction, and Yu Wenzhi and Long Wuwei's people also appeared. Then, Hedu led Weiwei, Lantai led Xiaowei, and the four young men each took their men and horses, and arrived in time in four ways.

An important part of Chen Sida's plan tonight is to take advantage of the unpreparedness to control the generals of the guards, and if there are those who are not satisfied, they will be killed, the purpose is to prevent such a situation. For these four guards, he focused on prevention, and sent his own soldiers to cooperate with the people who led the guards to control them separately as soon as possible.

"Chen Sida, don't you get off the horse and die? Your Majesty has already taken precautions! The main generals who led the army to rebel with you have all been killed, and you still want to make a rebellion and hold Your Majesty hostage? ”

Chengping shouted at Chen Sida.

Chen Sida was shocked, turned his head to look at the flaming camp in the distance, quickly calmed down, turned to the more than 1,000 people around him and shouted: "Sons, don't believe him!" Follow me, just rush out, and when you get outside, you will be answered! Since Chang'an could be breached in the past, why can't it now? When we turn around and kill back to Chang'an in the future, you will all be heroes, feudal princes, glory and wealth, and you will have it at your fingertips! ”

Most of his subordinates were people who had followed him for many years, especially many generals, who were deeply favored by him, and all of them were desperate. What's more, in such a situation tonight, they are already red-eyed, where is the way back, and they all follow him to continue to kill.

Cheng Ping, Yu Wenzhi and others led the men and horses to chase after them.

At this time, it was the deepest time of the night, and everyone was not familiar with the terrain around the hunting ground, and finally found that they had chased into a river valley area, and in the hinterland, the terrain suddenly narrowed, and the four guards, plus Chen Sida's subordinates, together with nearly 10,000 horses, were all blocked and crowded together.

After all, the lighting of the fire rods carried by the guards was limited, and the moonlight on their heads was obscured by the trees above the valley, and it was dark below, mixed with people and horses, and the clothes of the guards were similar.

Soon, Chengping and his men realized that the situation was not right, and hurriedly called their men and horses, wanting to make a temporary truce until they had made a clear distinction between friend and foe, or to withdraw from this narrow valley, and then make plans.

However, Chen Sida is an experienced veteran. When he had been hunting for the first two days, he had accidentally discovered this valley, and he had thought it to be an excellent battlefield, and he had deliberately led men into this place tonight, and when he saw that his plan had succeeded, he would not allow the other party to come back against him when he had lined up, and immediately summoned the archers, and fired clusters of arrows indiscriminately in all directions, and ordered the archers to shoot the soldiers who were responsible for carrying fire rods to guide the way for their companions. The soldiers were hit by arrows one after another, and the fire staff fell to the ground to extinguish it, and the valley, which was already poorly lit, became even darker in an instant, and the officers and soldiers of the guards were almost all night blind, and they couldn't see the direction of Chen Sida's arrows at all. For a time, many people fell from their horses with arrows, and were trampled by horses and companions. The sound of horses and the cries of the casualties mingled and resounded in the valley.

What's even more terrifying is that the scene has begun to spiral out of control. If this kind of chaos cannot be effectively contained immediately, not to mention Chen Sida's attack, just trampling on each other between people and horses will be enough to cause a catastrophe.

Cheng Ping and the others were anxious, and each of them frequently gave orders, trying to save the situation, but the scene had become chaotic to the point, and all kinds of actions for a while were in vain.

Seeing that the pursuers were attracted to this place, the advantage was lost in a blink of an eye, and the number of people became its fatal flaw, Chen Sida's subordinates were all in good spirits and fought hard to counterattack.

Surrounded by a group of personal soldiers, Chen Sida grabbed an envoy of Anguo who was taken hostage by him and was already frightened at this moment, and laughed proudly: "Ashina! Yuwenzhi! And Hedu, Lantai! You kids, all of you think you can fight against me? When Lao Tzu became famous in the Divine Tiger Army, none of you knew which girl's arms were breastfeeding! Dismount and surrender to me as soon as possible, and when I return to Chang'an in the future, maybe I can still leave your lives behind!" ”

Chengping people are not experienced enough after all, tonight for a while, plus their own affairs, so that they led the guards into a predicament, in the dark, and heard the wild laughter of Chen Sida's subordinates sandwiched by the screams of the king of Anguo to shout for help, all of them hated so much that they wanted to split, and they were trying to command their subordinates to relight the fire staff as soon as possible to recover the queue, suddenly at this time, on the side above the valley, a height of about a few zhang from the ground, a fire lit up, and a voice shouted: "Chengping!" Yuwenzhi! Hedu! Lantai! Listen to my orders and command their men and horses to evacuate! ”

This sound was like a thunderbolt falling from the sky, swinging in this valley, shaking everyone's ears and buzzing, and they stopped unconsciously.

Cheng Ping and others were also startled, followed the sound and looked up, and from a distance, he saw a figure suddenly appear on a rock protruding from the valley wall on one side. The man stood tall with a flaming staff in his hand. The constantly jumping red firelight reflected a calm and resolute young face under the night.

"Pei Er!"

The distance was a little far away, and he couldn't see it very clearly, but Cheng Ping still recognized the person at a glance, reacted, ecstatic, and shouted his name in response.

Pei Xiaoyuan had already inserted the fire staff into a crack in the valley wall behind him, and then, with one hand, he took off a jade target horn bow that he was carrying, and at the same time, with the other hand, he took out an arrow with an oilcloth wrapped in oil cloth from the quiver tied to his waist, lit it on the fire staff, and then drew the bow and set the arrow, his eyes reflected the fire burning on the arrow in front of him, his eyes were burning, and if there was a fire in his eyes, he flickered under his eyes.

After a quick look around the valley floor, he shot his first arrow in a direction in front of his feet.

The cluster of arrows carried bright fireballs, like a long meteor, under the dark night sky, crossed the heads of everyone at the bottom of the valley, drew a high arc, and finally, fell to a point more than a hundred steps away where there were fewer people at the moment.

"Guards obey orders! It's all in place! ”

After firing the first rocket in the direction, he lifted his breath and shouted again. The cry reached everyone's ears with the night wind that was raging across the valley.

The Wu Wei led by Cheng Ping suddenly had a direction, and they all obeyed, and they all gathered towards the position pointed by the rocket just now.

The second rocket followed and plunged into the opposite point, a few dozen paces away.

"Long Wuwei soldiers listen to orders! All in place! His voice was renewed.

Yu Wenzhi had already woken up from the shock of Fang Cai, and quickly commanded his subordinates to line up according to the guidance of the rocket.

Although it still caused a collision and conflict, unlike the situation a moment ago when everyone's eyes were dark and they couldn't tell the direction, the guards had clear guidance this time, and the two guards slowly but clearly interspersed with each other, each moving in different directions. The chaotic and anxious situation changed completely in an instant. Although the valley is still woefully illuminated, order has begun to be restored.

The turmoil in the last years of Jingsheng nourished countless careerists. Chen Sida is one of them.

He was about to take advantage of the chaos to escape from Beijing, trying to contact the old man, and make a comeback in the future, but he never expected that Pei Xiaoyuan would appear out of thin air, commanding from a high position, seeing that he was about to control the overall situation, his eyes were red with hatred, and he hurriedly ordered to shoot arrows at him, and he must shoot him down.

Clusters of arrows formed a dense rain-like net, roaring towards Pei Xiaoyuan, who was still standing tall.

By this time, he had already finished firing the third rocket, guiding the Weiwei of Hedu to move to the seismic position on the east side of the valley, and ordered the remaining Xiaowei to stand by in place.

"Young master! Beware of the arrows! ”

At this time, He Jin rushed in with two relatives. He rode on a golden black horse, holding a long lance, and stabbed left and right. The two relatives also took spears, and the three of them were unstoppable, and they fought into the bow and crossbow array, and the many crossbowmen were crooked, and the attack of the arrow cluster finally slowed down slightly.

Pei Xiaoyuan, who was still in a high place, collected his bow, drew his sword to block a few arrows that shot in front of him, and then took the opportunity of He Jin and a few people rushing out for him, pulled out the fire staff, and took the vine trees and convex stones entangled on the valley wall as a foothold, his figure was as light as an ape, and in a blink of an eye, he jumped down from the high place where he had just stood, and after moving several times, he appeared in front of a rebel.

This person is one of the crossbowmen who just fired arrows at him, at this moment the person was still sitting on the horse's back, looking in a daze, and before he could react, he was cut off the horse's back by Pei Xiaoyuan with a knife, and then he jumped on the horse, pulled the reins, forcibly turned the horse's head, crossed the horse, and quickly retreated to He Jin and a few people who rushed to him, blocking the center of Chen Sida's party's retreat.

At this time, the four guards have gradually completed the whole team, once the lighting is restored, the unified command, and then the team surrounds it, Chen Sida's group of people will definitely die without a place to be buried. However, the people led people to block the road in such a majestic manner, and their hearts were terrified, and they did not dare to rush forward for a while.

Chen Sida's face turned pale. One of the lieutenants beside him brandished the knife in his hand and hissed, "Give it to me!" Kill this man, and the general will be rewarded—"

There was a commotion in the Shenwu army, and just as everyone was about to rush to kill, sharp arrows flew out, straight into the throat of the lieutenant general, and an arrow pierced through the neck.

The person who sent the arrow was He Jin.

"Chen Sida! You shameless man, you still have the face to refresh the name of the Tiger Army? Do you still know who I am? ”

"It's you!"

Chen Sida quickly recognized his former comrades, and his face became even more ugly.

He Jin laughed a few times, then pointed at Chen Sida and said loudly to his subordinates: "This Chen Sida you obeyed, he was just a traitor back then!" How is it different from a guard dog with a spine pump? Today, his dog is not honest again, and he dares to make trouble again, and he is rampant to this point! ”

His gaze turned back to Chen Sida's face.

"Chen Sida! In the past, you were deeply favored by the Lord's Divine Tiger Army. Now the son of the great general is here! When you see the face of the young master, still don't you get off your horse and bow down? ”

He kept calling Chen Sida's name, and his tone was full of ridicule and contempt.

Chen Sida's face was red and white, he gritted his teeth, and ordered people to rush forward.

He Jin crossed the lance, blocked in front of Pei Xiaoyuan, and roared loudly: "Lao Tzu was killed from the pile of dead people in Beiyuan back then!" I look at you eight little cubs, who dares to move! ”

He looked at the wolf and looked extremely fierce. Everyone was suddenly shocked a little more, and they were hesitating, at this time, the four guards had also been rectified, learned the lessons of the party, and were unified under the command of Chengping, and were encircling this side.

Seeing this, Chen Sida's remaining cronies panicked, and hurriedly ordered people to push all the hostages brought with him and the heaviest of them, King Anguo, to a high place, yelling at Chengping and threatening to kill.

If these vassal envoys really have three long and two short tonight, joy turns into mourning, and after that, the court is afraid that it will be difficult to explain.

Cheng Ping and others naturally knew the stakes, and they didn't dare to approach again for a while, and the people on both sides were at a stalemate.

"Help! Pei Sicheng saved my life! ”

When the envoy of Anguo saw Pei Xiaoyuan, he hissed a hoarse voice and kept shouting at him for help.

"Uncle He, get out of the way." Pei Xiaoyuan suddenly spoke.

He Jin glanced back at him, reminded him to be careful in a low voice, and slowly gave way.

Pei Xiaoyuan rode on a horse, and under the gaze of countless pairs of eyes around him, he took a fire stick, held it, followed the way, and walked towards Chen Sida on the opposite side.

Soon he entered the opposite position, and did not stop, but continued to advance, forcing the soldiers to avoid it, as if to make way for him.

"Stop! Don't come back! ”

When there was still a gap between the two, Chen Sida shouted loudly.

Pei Xiaoyuan stopped, looked at Chen Sida with his eyes, and said, "You will let the king and the others go, I promise, I can let you leave this place safely." ”

Chen Sida's eyes were gloomy: "Pei Xiaoyuan, are you my child?" Why should I believe you? ”

"With my father being the Divine Tiger General Pei Gu, because he once led 800 warriors to die outside the Beiyuan Pass, and because I was eight years old with my mother to avenge the grievances of the Divine Tiger Army outside the palace!"

Pei Xiaoyuan's voice was not slow, like a collision of gold and jade, echoing in this valley, clearly sending into the ears of everyone present.

"Chen Sida, although there are people like you in the world who are forgetful of their righteousness, but there are also many people who keep their promises and do what they say. If you believe, do as I say. For your reassurance, I may also change them with the king. ”
