Chapter 38: The Siege of the City

With the faint light of the lanterns in the palace courtyard, Han Zhen's eyes were sour, and he was a little distracted when he listened to the assassination sound of the "brush, brush, brush" long sword and the slamming sound of Chang Gonggong's palm. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

He originally planned to find a time to learn some kung fu so that he could at least protect himself in this ancient society, but now he felt that his previous ideas were very naïve. Even if you practice hard for ten years, you may not be able to withstand Yao Ting's palm, but now it seems that Yao Ting is still at the level of lifting shoes in front of these two people, hum you practice in vain, maybe one day there will be another so-and-so, more powerful than this father-in-law or any female assassin in green, no matter how powerful your group of tigers are, they are only sharp claws, and in the end they will all be controlled by me, a hunter.

He slowly moved his body to the corner, for fear of being discovered by the woman in green, and stabbed himself to death with a sword.

It seems that if you want to capture this woman in green alive, without nearly a thousand guards with a strong martial arts foundation, I am afraid that it will be very difficult.

He walked farther and farther, and made sure that the two people on the field would not affect him, so he turned around and ran all the way, went to find the idiot monk, and asked him to mobilize thousands of soldiers and horses to escort him.

Soon, Wan Idiot rushed back with him with five thousand soldiers, Han Zhen was not sure whether this father-in-law was a friend or foe with him, so he simply decided that killing both of them was the best policy.

When they got closer, the two were still fighting in place, but there was a woman watching the battle in the distance, and this woman was dressed in luxurious clothes.

The leading young man among the soldiers was the original palace guard, he recognized this woman, pointed at her and whispered to Han Zhen: "Your Majesty, that person is Xi Guifei, many of our guards know that she has a leg with Chang Gonggong, who is fighting with assassins on the field. The two admired each other, hated each other late, and had long fallen in love and couldn't extricate themselves. ”

"I'm so ashamed, I'm so ashamed, a father-in-law plays more than me. Han Zhen shouted.

"However, this will be easy to do!" He was overjoyed, and hurriedly ordered thousands of people to hide this Xi Guifei first, so that he could use her as a hostage to blackmail the Chang father-in-law.

Of the 5,000 men, 2,000 swung their swords and fought with the two men, while the other 3,000 surrounded them with bows and arrows, seizing the opportunity to fire arrows.

The two had been fighting for a long time, and their physical strength was a little exhausted, and the woman in green turned around, stabbed five or six soldiers to death with a sword, and at the same time blocked the random arrows that were shot, and jumped onto the palace wall with light skills, and escaped from here.

Chang's father-in-law was not so lucky, he was shot in the foot by a random arrow, and he couldn't run far. Han Zhen ordered the soldiers to stop, and he was going to be captured alive.

Gonggong Chang immediately knelt down and said to Han Zhen: "Your Majesty, the slave escort is late, please forgive me!"

Han Zhen looked at his cunning eyes, and secretly scolded the three watchmen who suddenly came here in the middle of the night, and you didn't know that an assassin came to me, and it was not your turn to escort me, it was obvious that he wanted to kill me!

But because there was no substantial evidence, he had to say: "Okay, Father-in-law Chang, you have a meritorious escort, and I will promote you to serve by my side in the future, you don't have to do the eunuch business, I will treat you as a four-grade guard." ”

Father-in-law Chang kowtowed and thanked him, and then he couldn't help asking: "Your Majesty, Concubine Xi came with me just now, but it seems that I saw you ...... her just now."

Han Zhen smiled in his heart, this is really groundless, it may not be silent, you really have a leg with Concubine Xi, that's great, Father-in-law Chang, no matter how powerful your LCD TV is, you can't escape the remote control of Concubine Xi.

"Don't worry, I have placed her in a safe and proper place, and as long as you protect me with peace of mind in the future, Concubine Xi will reward you. Han Zhen said lightly.

Father-in-law Chang didn't expect this matter to be so easy, and said cautiously: "Emperor Xie is in love, but she is the concubine of the old emperor, and the slave is a crippled person." I'm afraid that's not appropriate, right?"

Han Zhen shook his hand indifferently: "You are so avant-garde and open, what are you pretending to be, you have to believe in yourself." As long as you are loyal to me, don't say anything about the concubine crying concubine, you can use the old emperor as a slave, his old-fashioned era has passed. ”

Father-in-law Chang raised his head and secretly looked at Han Zhen, although he couldn't figure out what he meant, but on the surface, he was still obedient for a while.

After this toss, Han Zhen was also extremely tired, and after letting Wan Idiot and the others retreat, he wanted to go back to the dormitory to sleep for a while.

At this time, Tang Mei and Chu Yu were still sleeping peacefully on the dragon couch, and he was relieved that he fell asleep on the table.

After sleeping for less than half an hour, the eunuch outside the house came in and said sharply: "Your Majesty, wake up, it's time to go to the court early." ”

Han Zhen was suddenly awakened, and looked at him angrily: "What time is it, can't the court be postponed for a while? I'm the biggest here, and I won't go to court today!"

Tang Mei also woke up, got out of bed and tidied up her clothes, leaned over to Han Zhen's side, and rubbed his shoulders: "Childe, you have just ascended to the throne, and if you don't go to court on the first day, it will be easy to cause gossip." ”

Han Zhen heard that she still called herself a son, and felt quite kind, so he listened to what she said.

He touched his previously sprained arm, and felt that it hurt a little now, and it was still dark outside, and sighed, thinking that this emperor was also boring and tight, and he couldn't sleep if he was lazy, no wonder the emperors of all dynasties died early, and he didn't get enough sleep.

I always felt that the dragon chair was in danger, and maybe if I didn't pay attention, I would be kicked down by some old courtier, and shouted out: "Grandpa Chang, come here, accompany me to the court." ”

Father-in-law Chang quickly ran in and helped him walk towards the court.

After walking on the dragon seat, the monk also hurried over, and accompanied Chang Gonggong left and right.

Accompanied by two people, Han Zhen felt a lot more relieved, Chang Gonggong and Wan Idiot, the two of them were one writer and one martial arts, one tiger and one fox.

The ministers shouted long live, and Han was really about to speak, but Yao Ting and General He suddenly broke in and did not kneel.

"Your Majesty, General He's 160,000 troops have all returned to the court, and they are now outside the city gate. Now, please make an order for the army to enter the city to protect the safety of the Tang Dynasty. Yao Ting said with a cold expression, with a lot of coercion.

Han Zhen was shocked when he heard the 160,000 army, and secretly thought that this was a big bad thing, the storm was coming, and there was no countermeasure for a while.

One of the ministers below also chimed in: "Congratulations to the emperor, these 160,000 troops have returned to the dynasty and are sent by His Majesty, and our Tang Dynasty foundation will be more stable." ”

The ministers also said in unison: "Congratulations to the emperor!"

Han Zhen knew that as long as he didn't agree, the 160,000 army would come in, and the 160,000 against his own 100,000 in the palace, after the defeat of the army, he would instantly change from a noble emperor to a prisoner.

The idiot monk leaned into Han Zhen's ear: "Your Majesty, capture the thief and capture the king first, now you can only take Yao Ting and General He together, and it is more than enough to deal with the two of them with the skills of Chang Gonggong." ”

And at this moment, a soldier rushed in in a panic: "Oh no, Your Majesty, General He's 160,000 soldiers have begun to attack the city!"

Han Zhen was shocked, pointed at Yao Ting and said, "You thief, when did I say that I wouldn't let your army squad return to the dynasty, you actually rebelled!"

"Your Majesty, we don't know why this is happening, everything needs to be found out. General He bowed down to report, but his tone was actually very arrogant.

Han Zhen, together with his ministers, led 5,000 archers to climb the tower.

The city was already facing each other, and when a general saw Han Zhen and the others, he waved his hand, and the scene immediately became extremely quiet from a noisy sound.

This man's name was Wang Kuicheng, and he was the supreme commander of General He's army besides him.

Wang Kuicheng held his sword and shouted upward: "General He, this time we didn't have the intention of rebelling and causing chaos, but the depression in my heart is hard to get rid of, don't want this cruel life!"

"General Wang, where did you come from, I know that you have always been loyal, otherwise He would not have handed over this 160,000 army to you. If you have been wronged in any way, just speak up, and I will surely do justice to you!"

Wang Kuicheng said loudly: "Okay, then hand over your fiancée, Princess Yao Tingyao, and I will compete with her!"

"I don't know why you're looking for the princess, General Wang, aren't you?"

Wang Kuicheng snorted coldly: "This thief princess killed Vice General Liu just now, just because after Vice General Liu received the flying pigeon summons, she drank and forgot to drink that day, and only reported it the next day." This was a small mistake, this brother who was born and died with us for many years was beaten to death by her just now!"

Yao Ting replied coldly: "This person surnamed Liu not only violated military discipline, but also was rude to my entourage Qianhui!"

"Hehe, joke! We are working hard for Datang outside, do we still have to grovel when we see her, a female streamer!"

Han Zhen understood, this was obviously not what Yao Ting and General He meant, although this matter was tricky, it was not a bad thing for him, and it would be great if he could take advantage of this to find a way to bring this anti-Yao Ting general under his command.

He was thinking about how to blame Yao Ting for a few words, and then asked her to apologize. The idiot monk had already taken advantage of Yao Ting's inattention and pushed her under the city wall with the two guards.

Who knew that Yao Ting pointed to the city wall on tiptoe, twisted, and jumped back.

The idiot monk hurriedly grabbed Chang Gong and said, "What are you doing in a daze, beat her down!"

Chang Gonggong struck out with a palm, Yao Ting was far from his opponent, and fell from the city gate after receiving the palm.

Han Zhen pointed at the idiot monk and said, "You thief bald, who wants you to make your own decisions, so how can Yao Ting still have her life." ”

After Yao Ting fell, Wang Kuicheng actually caught her.

The army was furious and shouted together: "Kill her! Kill her......

Yao Ting broke free from Wang Kuicheng's hands, and was about to hit him with a backhand move "Lianyun Palm".

Wang Kuicheng shouted and set up a formation, and immediately disappeared, and dozens of soldiers surrounded Yao Ting in the middle with shields.

Ten thousand arrows were fired in the distance, Yao Ting hurriedly made a move to resist the chaotic arrows, but this formation forced her to use her hands and feet, and if she went down, she was afraid that she would be killed by the arrow.

General He jumped from the top of the city wall with light feats, and as soon as he landed on the ground, he was surrounded by a group of soldiers, who were eyeing him fiercely, and he might lose his life if Wang Kuicheng gave an order.
