A Clash of Gods

v4 Chapter 1378: Inside and outside the Imperial City

"This is a treason!"

Lu Xiao, the Ministry of Defense, was furious, and said to Yuan Lao Shangshu, the Libe: "Without the order of the Ministry of Defense, even I, the Secretary of the Ministry of Defense, knew nothing about it. Xuanwu Camp and Black Sword Camp dare to enter the capital, Tiger God Camp. .... Not only did Tiger Shenying not stop, but the city gates were opened, they wanted to rebel. "

The fist held in anger was shaking.

Yuan Moxian was also solemn, and asked, "Master Lu, do you not have any wind beforehand?"

"In the middle of the night, I was awakened by someone and I knew that the soldiers and horses entered the city." Lu Xiaodao said: "Since the founding of the country, no soldiers and horses have entered Beijing without the knowledge of the military department. Even the first emperor was in critical condition, When Blackknife Battalion entered the city to change defense, Sima Lan realized that he had also informed the Ministry of Forces, and there was a transfer order issued by the Ministry of Forces. "

Yuan Laoshangshu leaned back on his chair: "How could Xuanwu Battalion enter the city without the command of the Ministry of War? There was only one reason, that is, the emperor directly gave the will."

"But there is always a reason for the emperor to transfer troops into the city." Lu Xiao said: "Why do they want to enter the city? That's tens of thousands of soldiers, and the military power is controlled by Qin Zhong, if ... if For other reasons, the capital is at stake. "

Yuan Moxian also showed a terrifying look in his eyes: "Tiger God Camp can open the door and release, naturally it is first-class with Xuanwu Camp, if ... if they really want to rebel, the imperial city has only a thousand feather forest camps. , Absolutely unstoppable. "

"There is a conspiracy!" Lu Xiao stood up abruptly and said in a deep voice: "Xue Lingfeng, the leader of the Tiger God Camp was assassinated, and Lu Xiaochao controlled the Tiger God Camp. It seems that it may be for today."

Yuan Lao Shang Shu's face was also not good-looking, but his emotions were still calm, and suddenly he got up and said, "We are going to the palace!"

"Into the palace?" Yuan Moxian stunned: "Father, how to enter the palace at this time?"

Yuan Lao Shangshu sneered: "It is at this time to enter the palace, but the old man wants to see what is going on this time."

"Xuanwu Camp has entered the city." Yuan Moxian immediately said: "No one knows whether Xuanwu Camp is rebellious, this time ...!"

"Are you worried that the rebels killed the old man with a knife?" Yuan Lao Shangshu snorted coldly: "The old man just wants to see who is going to cut this time."

Lu Xiao also said: "I went to the palace with Lao Shangshu, in any case, I have to meet the emperor."

At the foot of the imperial city, a team of cavalry first appeared at the intersection of the square edge. The square under the imperial city was wide and empty. In the past, unless the DPRK held a meeting, the minister of culture and martial arts would appear on the square outside the gate and wait, otherwise no one will be. Dare to approach this square easily.

The crossbow machine at the head of the Imperial City is not a decoration. Its longest distance can be shot at the edge of the square, so the entire square is actually within the range of the crossbow machine.

There are not many guards in the city, less than three hundred people, but they are all waiting in line.

The wall of the imperial city is not thinner than the outer city, it is very thick, and it is built with solid boulders transported from afar, which can be used for horse riding above the city head, and the wall can also store materials, the most is the arrow All the soldiers in Yulin Camp can not only ride horses but also shoot arrows, so everyone is wearing a long blade and a long bow. The arrows stored in the city wall are enough for the soldiers to squander.

When the fire appeared in the distance, the guards had moved to the head of the city into boxes of arrows, and the eight crossbow machines lined up in line were also equipped with crossbow arrows. The crossbow machine is a special weapon for guarding the imperial city, and ordinary arrows. The crossbow is different, very huge, and its arrows are also specially made. It is extremely lethal. It can easily shoot a tall horse with a single arrow.

In the sound of the horseshoe, the cavalry team entered the square first, followed by another team of cavalry.

"It's Xuanwu Camp!" Someone in the city saw the flag waving in the wind and shouted, "Everyone is on guard."

Yu Biegu pressed his hands against the wall stack and stared at the cavalry who entered the square. After hundreds of cavalry entered, the following group of infantry soldiers stepped on the square without any scruples and took the spear. The coming dark clouds occupy a large part of the square.

"Master Xiaowei!" The soldiers who controlled the crossbow looked at Yu Biegu.

The imperial city is very important. The duty of Yulin Camp is extraordinary. Any suspected rebel enters the square and can shoot.

At this time, Xuanwu Camp soldiers entered the Yulin Camp without any fear and regarded it as a restricted area. The Yulin Camp could of course shoot at any time.

Yu Biegu looked dignified and did not order it immediately.

The dense Xuanwu camp generals continued to approach the imperial city like cold soldiers. The sound of the war horse's long hiss and the armor friction made the originally calm square instantly filled with the intention of killing. For no reason, my heart is tight.

"Warning them, don't kill people first!" Yu Begugu finally said.

The crossbow machine quickly adjusted. Soon afterwards, several thick crossbow arrows exploded from the city head. Above the square, the sound of "bang" immediately sounded. A few steps ahead of a row of cavalry, although the powerful impact did not completely break the bluestone plate, it still caused the bluestone plate to crack.

This is a warning!

The front cavalry finally stopped. The cavalry raised their heads and looked at the defender at the head of the city. After the crossbow machine fired the crossbow arrow in the first round, the defender quickly put the crossbow arrow back on, and the other defenders had already bowed. Take an arrow and aim at the menacing soldiers.

Xuanwu battalion approached the city, and Qi Ning was quickly rewarded.

He Qing's face was cold and he said: "Sure enough, there was a premeditated plan, and Xiao Shaozong was ready to transfer troops to the siege."

"So the imperial city is a trap." Qi Ning said with a sneer: "The puppet was killed, and it was natural to blame me on my head. As a result, it became a fact that I went into the palace and stab him. Now. "

Suddenly heard a drink not far away: "There are assassins!"

A group of Yu Linwei immediately rushed over with a spear. Qi Ning saw a group of figures approaching here. When they saw that the group of people were wearing night clothes, they saw that they had to fight with Yu Linwei. Do n’t move, it ’s your own. ”Hurrying over, I saw that many of them were wearing night clothes. When one saw Qi Ning, he immediately said,“ Grandpa! ”The sound is the shadow. The gray crow.

Operation Qi Ning tonight, the soldiers were divided into three groups, and the gray crow and the flying cicada Xiaotaro each brought their own staff. It was agreed in advance that regardless of the success or failure of the task, they should return to the snow python pool. When they saw the gray crow appear here, they frowned: ? Why are you here? "

Grey Crow said: "As we were preparing for the operation, we suddenly found a large number of court eunuchs running around. We caught one person and asked, knowing that Yulinwei had come in and there was chaos in the palace, and some people said that Yulinwei was going to the palace to catch I arrested Grandpa Guo, thinking that the trace of Grandpa Guo has been exposed, and returned ... "He glanced at He Qing next to Qi Ning, and then said:" Returning to the appointment, Chi girl fears that Grandpa Guo will lose, so she is assigned. We are looking for Grandpa Guo in the palace. I just found Grandpa Guo here, thinking that he was captured by Yulin Camp, so ... I want to come to rescue. "

Qi Ning sighed, and had agreed in advance that no matter which way happened, the other two didn't have to manage it, but Chi Danmei apparently still didn't obey his orders and learned that Yulin Camp wanted to arrest himself and still sent someone to rescue .

"Where are they?"

"Still in the palace." Grey crow said: "We are scattered looking for the Grand Duke."

Qi Ning nodded, and then said to He Qing: "I expected that the emperor was imprisoned by Xiao Shaozong, so I wanted to take someone into the palace to rescue the emperor tonight, but I was caught by Xiao Shaozong."

He Qing actually guessed that probably, Jingning led people to rescue the emperor, but there was no doubt, but it was strange that the imperial city was guarded so tightly, but how could Qi Ning lead people into the palace? He naturally did not know the existence of the secret road. Although he was suspicious in his heart, he still said: "Government Lord, Xuanwu Camp rebellion, besieging the imperial city on all sides, and he will first go to the head of the city."

When He Qing drove to the head of the city, Qi Ning made the gray crow emit a signal. It was a ringing bamboo. As long as it was ejected into the air, it would make a harsh sound. It was also a signal that Qi Ning had agreed to gather in advance.

After the signal was sent, he didn't wait too long, he saw Feichang Xiaotaro rushed over with a group of people, and then Chi Danmei also hurried over, seeing Qi Ning was safe, Chi Danmei was relieved, pretty and solemn : "There has been a mess in the palace, and the Yulin Army has all killed in."

Qi Ning briefly explained at the moment, Chi Danmei frowned: "Xiao Shaozong has transferred troops to siege the imperial city ~ lightnovelpub.net ~ That is naturally for you, he is going to put you to death."

"He couldn't have kept me alive." Qi Ning sneered: "But it's not just to kill me, but there are other purposes."

"There are too few defenders in the imperial city." Chi Danmei said: "You don't need to attack the imperial city, as long as the imperial city is under siege, it won't take long, and all the people inside will starve to death." Beautiful eyes turned and whispered Tao: "We withdrew from the secret road, so we don't have to sit here waiting to be killed."

"The secret road must be blocked." Qi Ning said: "Xiao Shaozong knew that we had discovered the secret road. He deliberately pretended not to know that he wanted me to enter the palace from the secret road. It is impossible for people to block the secret passage and try to get out of it again. "

Chidan Meiliu's eyebrows curled tightly: "Then ... how should that be good?" Yinfang bite and said: "While it is dark, I will protect you from rushing out, and you and I will join hands, even if it is a thousand Army Wanma may not be able to stop it. "

Qi Ning shook his head and said: "The imperial city has been surrounded by groups. As soon as we leave the city, we will immediately fall into the encirclement. Not to mention whether you and I can really kill the encirclement, even if we really have that ability, we must kill Countless people died, and most of the Xuanwu camp generals were deceived by Xiao Shaozong. They were all soldiers of the Chu Kingdom. They must not hurt them until they had no choice but to sneer. "Xiao Shaozong gave me the name of rebellion." If it were really killed in public, my name of rebellion would never be cleared again, and Xiao Shaozong ’s conspiracy would succeed. "

"Then ... how should that be?"

At this moment, I heard the horn sound, and the horn sounds one after another, and they became one, Qi Ning's face was tight, not much to say, turned around and rushed to the outer city, Chi Danmei and others did not hesitate, followed closely Behind Qi Ning.
