Before dawn the next day, Ji Chengche and Concubine Yu rushed outside the Holy Capital City.

At this moment, the Holy Capital City has become a huge barracks, surrounded by sentry barracks, all of which are the most outstanding Praetorian Guards in Great Chu, with no less than 350,000 people. In addition, it is the people of the Witch Cult, mixed in the Praetorian Guard, and may not be able to charge into the formation, but the personal combat power should not be underestimated.

Looking at the holy capital city surrounded by water on the third floor and the outer three floors, Concubine Yu'er said with an anxious face: "Oops, the Praetorian Guard of the Beijing Division has really been mastered by Tang Yan, I don't know what the situation in the imperial city is?"

Ji Chengche comforted: "Look at this tense appearance, the imperial city should not have fallen yet. Let's think of a way to sneak into the Imperial City first, and by the way, we can find out the latest information. ”

Concubine Yu said gratefully: "Please!"

Xiang Yi is dead, she has no love in her life, and only the youngest daughter in the palace is her last bit of support.

Ji Chengche didn't expect Tang Yan to successfully infiltrate the Great Chu army, there is no doubt that there must be many people in the military in Beijing who must have been bribed or bewitched by him, and became a henchman willing to serve as dogs and horses, otherwise it would be impossible for Ren Wujiao to rebel against tens of thousands of Praetorian Guards overnight.

He thought for a moment and said to Concubine Yu, "You wait for me here for a while." ”

After a while, Ji Chengche went and returned, but he had changed into the uniform of an ordinary school.

He handed another set of lieutenant clothes to Concubine Yu and said, "Aunt Yu, you will be wronged." ”

Concubine Yu took the change of clothes without hesitation, and Ji Chengche said: "I just squired, the imperial city has not fallen, and Sister Yu is safe and sound." At present, the imperial city is controlled by Geng Tian and others, and Hu Benwei and Jin Fengwei are still loyal to His Majesty, so Aunt Yu doesn't have to worry too much. ”

"It's just that the Martial King Qi Longxiang has openly defected to Tang Yan, set up Xiang Ran as a puppet, and is leading his troops to besiege the imperial city. As for the situation of Fan Jian, the king of Wen, and other important ministers in the court, it is still unclear. ”

Ji Chengche continued: "Now that the Holy Capital City has been under martial law, all kinds of rumors are spreading everywhere in the army. Tang Yan issued a decree in the name of Wu Zu, reprimanding His Majesty for angering the gods, and he had already been ruined and died without a place to be buried......"

"Despicable!" Concubine Yu'er's body shook, her pink face turned pale and showed a resolute color, and said, "Let's enter the city immediately!"

Ji Chengche nodded, and used his cultivation to escort Concubine Yu to break into the company camp, as long as Tang Yan didn't make a move in person, others might not be able to intercept it.

But Ji Chengche didn't want Tang Yan to know that he and Concubine Yu had escaped, so he could only find a way to sneak into the holy capital quietly.

When one is a master of art and the other is a man of death, the two swagger together and blend into a rebel barracks.

I saw that the barracks outside the city were slaughtered, the horns were heard endlessly, and soldiers and horses were mobilized everywhere.

Although the rebels are numerous, it is not necessarily that everyone is against them. After all, it has only been more than ten years since the founding of Great Chu, and most of those loyal ministers and fierce generals who have followed Xiang Yi for many years are still alive. However, it happened suddenly, and the Martial King Qi Long was like Xiang Ran pressing the formation, and many people were unclear about the situation for a while, so they chose to wait and see the changes.

It just so happened that at this time, another Praetorian Guard was fully armed, and Ji Chengche and Concubine Yu took advantage of the chaos to get mixed in and marched all the way to the Holy Capital.

Halfway down the road, someone finally noticed the two fresh faces of Ji Chengche and Concubine Yu, and said vigilantly: "Who are you?"

Concubine Yu flipped her hand and flashed her waist card, and said: "We are the personal soldiers in the tent of General Yingyang Yingge, and we were sent into the city by the general to deliver letters to our families. Seeing that you are also going to the city, I want to go with a group and follow the army, and it is not peaceful everywhere now. ”

When the military academy heard this, he laughed and said, "Then let's follow." We were just about to go to King Wen's Mansion. ”

Ji Chengche pretended to be curious and asked, "What are you doing in King Wen's Mansion?"

The military academy smiled: "Of course, it is to besiege and monitor the palace. ”

Ji Chengche and Concubine Yu quietly glanced at each other, both happy and worried. The good thing is that Fan Jian, the king of Wen, is not rebellious, and he is in the palace, but the worry is that he is under the siege of heavy troops, I don't know how he will deal with it?

But no matter what, as soon as Xiang Yi goes, only Fan Jian can wrestle with Qi Longxiang among the important ministers of the court.

Concubine Yu secretly whispered into the secret and said, "We managed to go to see King Wen." ”

Ji Chengche agreed: "Yes, this person's attitude is very important now, and if it is not good, you can win him not to join the rebels." ”

So the two of them entered the city with the brigade, but they were not exempt from the interrogation of the soldiers defending the city.

Although martial law was imposed in the city, it was even more chaotic than outside the city, and there were fires in many places, and shouts of killing were heard from time to time.

On the contrary, the direction of the imperial city was as silent as death, and I didn't know what the situation was.

The Praetorian Guard, which numbered hundreds of people, walked down the empty streets, holding torches high and rushing straight towards King Wen's mansion like a long dragon.

The scale of the holy capital city is not inferior to the Tiandu City, four horizontal and four vertical eight main roads, such as the staggered city neighborhood divided into more than 20 areas, Wenwang Mansion is located in the south of the city on the first mountain.

Shoutai Mountain is known as one of the three mountains of Shengjing, the scenery is beautiful and quiet, and it is also an excellent scenic spot for visitors to enjoy the cool in midsummer.

Tonight's Shoutai Mountain has long been blocked by heavy troops, but it is besieging and not attacking King Wen's mansion.

Obviously, Tang Yan and Qi Longxiang and others didn't want to offend Fan Jian too much, after all, this old man used to be the first think tank in Great Chu, recognized as the first person in Wenchen, and there was no shortage of cronies and protégés who were also highly respected in the military.

Halfway up the mountain, Ji Chengche and Concubine Yu quietly broke away from the large army, and took a shortcut to King Wen's mansion under the cover of the dense forests in the mountains.

From a distance, the torches outside King Wen's mansion flickered as bright as day, and the shadows were so many that there were many soldiers, and the giant crossbow was crawling behind the bushes like a beast, and the arrow was aimed at the wall of King Wen's mansion.

It is said that it is a house wall, but in fact, it is half a small gray and white wall, and half is a sparse fence wall, which cannot be used for defense at all. Not to mention the thousands of heavily armed Praetorian Guards outside the mansion, even ordinary people can easily jump over the wall and enter the mansion.

But for a whole night, no one dared to approach the mansion wall dozens of feet away without authorization, and only stared at the movement in the mansion with nervousness and apprehension.

One after another, messengers and lobbyists entered the palace in an endless stream, and then departed in despair. Among them, there are not only relatives and friends of King Wen, but also leading figures from the government and the opposition.

Ordered to besiege King Wen's mansion was Ye Ren, one of the five great doctors of Great Chu, who also made a good marksmanship and was known as the "Little Overlord of Jiangdong".

In fact, he is already over fifty years old, and he has no choice but to have the overlord Xiang Yi, and the word "overlord" must be added before the word "small" anyway.

Ye Ren attaches great importance to righteousness, not only the life and death friend of the martial king Qi Longxiang, but also the family of his sons and daughters.

It's just that now Ye Ren is not in the army besieging the palace, he left the brigade in the palace and the diplomacy was in charge of the eldest son Ye Yi, and he only brought two veterans into the palace and accompanied Fan Jian to play a game in the flower hall.

Seeing that the sky is about to break, the eastern sky has revealed a trace of fish belly white, and the third game of chess between Fan Jian and Ye Ren is entering a dog-tooth endgame. The two of them stared intently at the chessboard looking for looting materials, as if they didn't care about the changes in the situation outside the mansion.

Suddenly, two captains of the Great Chu Praetorian Guard walked in, neither courteous nor polite, just standing aside and watching the chess game.

Ye Ren frowned, looked up and asked, "Whoever let you in, get out...... Queen?!"

After seeing Concubine Yu'er's appearance clearly, Ye Ren couldn't help but be taken aback, got up and saluted: "The last general, Ye Ren, meet the queen mother!"

Fan Jian also put down the chess pieces, knelt on the futon and leaned over to salute: "Minister Fan Jian has seen the queen!"

Concubine Yu didn't expect Ye Ren to be in the mansion, but with Ji Chengche beside him, and Fan Jian's one-third of an acre of land, he didn't dare to act rashly.

When she saw Fan Jian, she couldn't help but have a sour nose, and stretched out her hand to help each other and said, "Lord Fan, please get up, Doctor Ye, please get up!"

Fan Jian bowed and said, "The minister is incompetent, and he has the grace of the saint!"

Concubine Yu shook her head and said, "It's all traitors, what's the matter with Mr. Guan?"

Ye Ren interjected eagerly and asked, "Empress, is Your Majesty here?"

Concubine Yu didn't speak, her eyes quietly brushed over Ye Ren's dark and rough face.

Ye Ren's face turned red and shouted: "Yes, I am Qi Longxiang's in-laws, and he also had a life-saving grace for me! But my old Ye doesn't do things inside and outside, and he also knows the truth of serving the country with loyalty!"

Fan Jian said: "The queen can rest assured, Dr. Ye is loyal and upright, jealous and hateful, and can be entrusted with big things." It was precisely because Qi Longxiang was suspicious of him and had to use it that he sent an idle man to play chess with the old minister. ”

Concubine Yu didn't answer, looked at Fan Jian with sad and solemn eyes, and said: "Lord Wang, Qi Longxiang is rebellious and the whole city is rebellious, why can you still sit firmly on Diaoyutai and have the leisure and elegance of playing chess?"

Fan Jian's face was as flat as water, and he replied, "The minister is waiting for His Majesty to return." ”

Concubine Yu said sadly: "What if Your Majesty can't come back?"

"What?!" Ye Ren exclaimed, "Your Majesty is really the Dragon Imperial Funeral?"

Concubine Yu covered her face with her sleeves and bowed her head slightly.

"Your Majesty!" Ye Ren fell to his knees, knocked nine heads in the direction of the imperial city, and immediately got up, his eyes were red and said, "Lord Wen, what are you waiting for?!"

Fan Jian lowered his head and said, "Wait a little longer." ”

Ye Ren said angrily: "Your Majesty is gone, you can sit still!"

Fan Jian asked quietly, "Does Your Majesty have a will?"
