The weather outside the palace was fine, and the sun that had just risen over the treetops generously sprinkled the earth with warm sunshine. The blue sky is as clear as a wash, and although there is still a steep chill in the wind, it is no longer so bitterly cold.

Spring is coming.

Ji Chengche is also about to come out.

Two thousand phoenix Zhangjun were wearing heavy armor, holding a strong shield, with a sharp blade hanging from their waists and carrying a crossbow, standing in rows and columns outside the main gate of Zhangwu Palace.

Four thousand pairs of eyes were like four thousand sharp arrows fixed in front of the palace gate opened by the Zhangwu Palace, and the people and horses were silent and silent.

Above the clouds, a battalion of Jinfeng guards drove the colorful phoenix soaring and circling, closely monitoring the movement on the ground.

Suddenly, the wind rose.

The fallen leaves on the steps outside the gate of Zhangwu Palace swirled and flew up, like beautiful yellow butterflies dancing in the air.

"Ready!" Feng Zhangjun commander Mao Yuanpei's heart tightened, and he shouted in a deep voice.

"Keng!" The knight in the front row flattened the phoenix-tailed crossbow with twelve consecutive rounds, and tightened the bowstring and brushed it to aim at the palace gate.

The figure of a purple-haired young man slowly appeared in the palace gate of Zhangwu Palace, he carried a knife box with his bare hands, his steps were firm and calm, he glanced at the two thousand sword-rattling Feng Zhangjun iron horsemen under the steps, and shouted softly: "I don't want to kill you, get out!"

Mao Yuanpei stood at the front of the array, his eyes intertwined with Ji Cheng's volley, feeling the strong killing intent and monstrous anger hidden under the other party's calm face, this experienced Great Chu general felt a chill in his heart inexplicably.

He knew that even if he had two thousand Imperial Forest Troops in his hands, even if he was one of the eight guards generals who guarded the Holy Capital, he was actually just a small role that had nothing to do with the overall situation in this matter.

Judging by the orders he received, it seems that the truth of what happened yesterday has been revealed.

But there are all kinds of clues, but it is suspicious and confusing.

No one knew that before leading the troops to Zhangwu Palace, he received two orders almost in order.

One is His Majesty's holy decree, and the content is naturally to order him to lead the Feng Zhang army to intercept and kill Ji Chengqing.

The other was actually the secret decree of the queen Concubine Yu, who strictly ordered him to only capture but not kill.

When he received the queen's secret decree, he immediately realized that he had received a hot potato.

Concubine Yu'er's wisdom is well known throughout the country, she has never been pampered and arrogant to interfere in any government affairs as a queen, and even deliberately kept a distance from the important ministers of the court, so as not to cause slander in the harem.

Compared with the queen mother in the north, the Chu people all say that having a concubine and a mother in the world is a great blessing for the Wu people.

However, this time, the queen mother actually wrote a secret decree by herself, wanting to protect the number one court rebel who killed Xiang Gui, the son of the great prince of Chu State, and Mao Yuanpei couldn't help but think about it.

According to the news from the Zhangwu Palace, although Ji Chengche committed a great rebellious capital crime, the queen remembered the old relationship with Princess Lingxi, and instead of caring about his grudge against assassinating his mother and daughter, she begged the Emperor of Chu to raise her noble hand.

As a result, the husband and wife broke up unhappily, and Emperor Chu had no choice but to agree to allow Ji Chengche to shut himself up in the Zhangwu Palace, and once he stepped out of the palace, he would be killed.

This news was specially brought to him by the father-in-law in the palace, and there should be no falsehood.

But if she really acted according to the order, if Ji Chengche died in front of the battle, what would be the queen's attitude towards herself?

Thinking of the various rumors scattered around yesterday, Mao Yuanpei became more and more bottomless, holding the emperor's holy decree in his left hand and the queen's handwritten book in his right hand.

But he didn't dare to hand over the queen's handwritten letter to Xiang Yi, and then thought about it carefully, with the decades of affection and love between His Majesty and Niangniang, who dared to guarantee that His Majesty would not know about it? or......

Is this handwritten letter from His Majesty?

Mao Yuanpei shuddered, didn't dare to continue thinking about it, looked at Ji Cheng and said: "Bold villain, don't bow down and wait for the sword to fall!"

Ji Cheng smiled contemptuously, walked down the steps step by step, and said lightly: "I gave you a chance." ”

"Bow and crossbow ready!" Mao Yuanpei noticed that a thin cold sweat was oozing from his hand holding the knife, even when facing a million demon armies in the past, it was very rare for him to have this happen.

He found that Ji Cheng's expression was neither afraid nor angry, as calm as the Zhangwu Palace behind this demon boy.

But who knows, what kind of undercurrent is turbulent in Zhangwu Palace at this moment?

The whole thing is unspeakably weird from the inside out, but he taught himself to do this terrible errand.

But seeing that Ji Chengche didn't listen to the advice and approached step by step, he had forced himself into a dead end, and there was no room for maneuver except for the battle.

At this point, Mao Yuanpei calmed down his heart, re-revealed the demeanor of Jin Ge Iron Horse's famous general, exhaled and shouted: "Untie the knife, kneel!"

"Untie the knife and kneel!"

Behind him, the two thousand phoenix and iron horsemen shouted in unison, and the rolling sound was deafening.

In the Zhangwu Palace, Concubine Yu, who was sitting alone in the phoenix chariot, heard the roar of thousands of soldiers outside the palace, and her heartstrings were like breaking and she couldn't help herself, and she spewed out hot blood one after another and dyed the splendid scenery in front of her.

How she hoped that Ji Chengche would stop and even return to Zhangwu Palace with a change of heart.

As long as this young man is willing, she would rather give everything to save his life, even if she is an enemy of the important ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, even if she is indignant and insulted by the people of Dachu who do not know the truth!

But nothing could stop him, and he refused to turn back.

Knowing that there was a murderous military array ahead, he seemed to be rushing to a feast that the whole country of Great Chu had set up for himself. There was no wine or meat in this feast, only blood and fire.

"Let's go!" Seeing that the warning was ineffective, Ji Chengche had already stepped into fifty zhang, and Mao Yuanpei ordered in a deep voice.

"Hum-" The sound of the strings was like someone gently plucking the zither under the moon.

The rain of arrows in the sky instantly obscured the winter sun, like a roll of crimson rushing towards Ji Chengqing.

"Break!" Ji Cheng spat out a witch spell in his mouth, raised his left arm and pinched the five fingers of the seal and stretched forward.

"Uh-" A hundred angry dragons spewed flames and came out of nowhere, under the control of Ji Cheng's thoughts, they drove together to cover the sky and cover the sun, and met the phoenix tail crossbow arrows that came to ****.

"Sneer-" Although this crossbow arrow is specially forged with fire gold, and blessed with the phoenix wing witch spell, it can be described as an invincible weapon for killing people, but as soon as it comes into contact with the surging fire dragon, it is like a spring sun turning snow, and it is smelted into useless iron bars without any suspense, and it can't hurt Ji Chengqing's hair at all.

Fortunately, Mao Yuanpei did his homework as soon as he received the holy decree, knowing that Ji Chengche was amazingly cultivated despite his youth, and he once hunted the Chu Emperor in Liyuanhui, and retreated with three palms.

Therefore, he did not panic, and shouted with the gun in his hand: "Release-"

Before the words fell, Ji Cheng's figure suddenly flashed out in the surging firelight and smoke, he stepped in the air as fast as he could, kicked Mao Yuanpei's chest and said, "Get off the horse!"

Mao Yuanpei was startled, and hurriedly used a spear to pick Ji Cheng's lower abdomen.

His phoenix tail spear was far longer than Ji Qing's legs, and it had stabbed in front of the other party in the blink of an eye.

Ji Chengche kicked out his other leg suddenly, like a divine dragon coiled around the barrel of the stabbing spear in the middle of the room, and his body was bullied.

"Not good!" Mao Yuanpei immediately let go of the phoenix tail gun, leaned back and pulled out the knife to parry.

"Bang!" Ji Chengche's kick hit his horse's head, and his brain suddenly burst into a whimper.

Mao Yuanpei only felt that his body was weak, and the whole person fell down, and the treasure knife in his hand was swept into the air.

Ji Chengqing's right leg flicked, and the phoenix tail spear wrapped around the crook of the knee shot out backwards like an arrow off the string, hitting the heart guard on Mao Yuanpei's chest with a bang.

The heart guard glass shattered inch by inch, and the soft armor inside couldn't withstand the pressure of the gun.

Mao Yuanpei's chest was in severe pain, and he spurted out a mouthful of blood and turned over and fell off the horse.

In the end, Ji Chengqing used the tail of the gun instead of the front of the gun, although the sternum was broken three times, but it did not hurt his life, which can be regarded as a blessing in misfortune.

"General!" the surrounding guards shouted angrily, a few people jumped off their horses to rescue Mao Yuanpei, and others pounced on Ji Chengche like wolves.

Ji Chengche's figure flickered, and he crashed headlong into the iron cavalry formation of Feng Zhangjun before his own soldiers could encircle him!

"Bang!" The more than ten heavily armored knights who bore the brunt were knocked into the air like scarecrows, and the knights in the back row didn't expect Ji Chengche to come so quickly, and they threw the spears in their hands in shock.

"Jin Ge is on the battlefield, listen to my orders!"

Ji Chengqing stepped on the back of the horse and recited a witch spell, and an invisible heaven and earth vitality fluctuated and spread.

"Hmm-" The wind was blowing, and I saw dozens of spears crisscrossing the air suddenly turn around, as if they were grabbed by an invisible big hand, and stabbed towards the front door of the Fengzhang army knight.

"Spell for Soldiers!" the well-informed Captain Feng Zhang shouted loudly, and hurriedly erected his shield to resist self-defense.

"Ding ding-" In a burst of swords, guns, swords, and shields, the iron horsemen of the Feng Zhangjun turned their horses on their backs and made a pot of porridge, and everyone couldn't care about Ji Chengqing to save their lives.

Ji Chengche took advantage of the situation to move forward as if he was in a no-man's land, and in a snap of his fingers, he had already intercepted the seven-fold iron cavalry, and went straight to the heart of the army.

And in fact, until this time, he hadn't even pulled out the Fetal Yuan Divine Knife!

On the one hand, he resisted the flying knives and guns in the sky, and on the other hand, he punched and kicked and sang loudly, and the killing was like a bamboo.

Feng Zhangjun can be one of the eight guards of the Beijing Division, it is not in vain, in front of the two armies, such an iron cavalry of 2,000 people is enough to level tens of thousands of foot battalions.

But they suffered a loss, Mao Yuanpei was injured and fell to the ground, and they were no longer able to command the battle, and the dragons had no leader and could only fight on their own.

What's even worse is that Ji Chengqing came too quickly, and they were forced to block the ban in the open space outside Zhangwu Palace, and they had no chance to launch a charge.

For a heavy cavalry that can't rush up, it's like a heavy wooden stake being squeezed in place and unable to move, not only can it not form a class advantage, or even an ordinary infantry battalion.

It can be seen that calling Feng Zhangjun to intercept and kill Ji Chengqing outside Zhangwu Palace is a mistake in itself, and it should never be a faint move made by Emperor Xiang Yi of Chu.

Helplessly, the truth was like this, the two thousand troops were huddled together, but there were only a few dozen people who could really get close to Ji Chengqing, and they were suddenly beaten to the ground.

Seeing this, Jin Fengwei, who was cruising and monitoring over Zhangwu Palace, knew that if he stood by and watched, the battle formation of Feng Zhangjun, who didn't need half a cup of tea, would teach Ji Chengche to kill thoroughly.

At that moment, the phoenix roared in the sky, and sixteen Jinfeng guards shouted in unison and swooped towards the battle group below! (83 Chinese .com.)
