After picking up Gao Yang and Xiao Sizi, Yang Fan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
No matter what, the people closest to him on Lishan Mountain were fine.
However, Yang Fan secretly complained that His Majesty Li Er was so conceited that he almost lost his life.
After treating the wound, Yang Fan raised his eyes and asked, "Junmai, how is the situation at home?"
Xi Junmai said quickly: "Please rest assured, sir, everything is fine at home. When my subordinates came to Lishan, Mrs. Wu had already transferred 300 guards from Junyangfang. There shouldn't be any problems at home."
"However, the city of Chang'an is also in chaos. I heard that many officials and gentry were assassinated, which caused panic."
"At this time, the entire city of Chang'an has been placed under martial law. The left guard and right guard have taken over the city gate and the imperial city respectively. General Wang Xiaojie asked his subordinates to tell the prince that as long as he is here, nothing will happen to the family."
Although Xi Junmai said so, Yang Fan was still a little worried.
After all, the Zuo Weijun is controlled by Hou Junji. Since this guy has rebelled, it is obvious that the Zuo Weijun in Chang'an City will follow suit.
Although Wang Xiaojie controlled a battalion of the right guard, his numbers were much inferior to that of the entire left guard.
Thinking of this, Yang Fan shouted: "Now that Hou Jun is planning to rebel, please escort the princesses back quickly and remind Wang Xiaojie and Mei Niang to be careful of the Left Guards!"
Xi Junmai looked surprised and lost his voice: "My lord, is Hou Junji really rebelling?"
In the morning, Xi Jun bought into the city. When he returned to Lishan, he saw a riot happening here, but he didn't know that it was Hou Jun who was plotting rebellion.
Of course, it was hard to believe what Yang Fan said.
Yang Fan said calmly: "Yes, Han Wang Li Yuanchang and Hou Jun conspired to rebel, and now the entire Lishan Mountain has been controlled by them."
"In addition, the King of Han and the Turks have united. These Turks are so ambitious!"
Since the destruction of the Eastern Turks, more than 200,000 Turks have been moved to the Guanzhong area by His Majesty Li Er.
These people always want to return to the grassland to become kings and hegemons. Now that there is chaos, it is inevitable that they will have some dissatisfaction.
After hearing the conversation between Yang Fan and the others, Changle and the others finally knew that there were treacherous ministers and traitors.
But their father is still in the Lishan Palace!
As daughters, they can not care about the life and death of others, but they cannot let their father fall into the hands of the rebels!
Now that Yang Fan wanted them to escape, Princess Changle certainly refused and quickly begged: "Husband, if Changle doesn't leave, I'm going to save my father!"
Princess Gao Yang also looked at Yang Fan expectantly, obviously meaning the same thing.
Little Sizi also rushed up and hugged Yang Fan's thigh tightly, crying: "Brother-in-law, Sizi is not leaving either, go and save your father..."
After all the girls were tossing around like this, what else could Yang Fan say?
After all, His Majesty Li Er is also his father-in-law, so he can't be left alone, right?
Besides, if I leave His Majesty Li Er and run away, I will definitely be accused of being a thief.
No matter who ascends the throne, there will be no place for Yang Fan in the world.
The women refused to leave, obviously worried about His Majesty Li Er's safety.
But swords and guns have no eyesight, what if a few women are injured?
What's more, Xiao Sizi has an innate qi disease. Not to mention being injured by swords and guns, he may lose his life just by being frightened!
So Yang Fan waved his hand and said: "Gao Yang and Xiao Sizi will return to the city first, while Li Zhi will stay and go with her husband to rescue the emperor!"
From Yang Fan's point of view, it is useless for Gao Yang and Xiao Sizi to stay here. If they go to the city, they will make some unscrupulous people a little afraid because of their status.
And letting Princess Changle stay here means that Yang Fan is not completely sure that he can rescue His Majesty Li Er.
Once His Majesty Li Er is accidentally killed by Hou Junji, Princess Changle will be his best witness.
At least he won't let others think that he is a rebel or that his failure to rescue him led to the death of His Majesty Li Er.
In the end, Yang Fan separated a dozen guards to escort Gao Yang and Xiao Sizi back to Chang'an City, while he and Xi Junmai took the remaining 60 guards and rushed towards the direction of the rebel siege.
With the help of the guards, even if there are some sporadic obstacles, they will be quickly resolved by the guards.
Sure enough, there is strength in numbers!
Yang Fan and his party bypassed the heavily defended area and groped their way up the mountain.
******
As for His Majesty Li Er, due to the overwhelming power of Hou Junji and Li Yuanchang, they were directly forced to the top attic of the Lishan Palace.
Hou Junji and Li Yuanchang looked at the apricot-yellow pavilion from a distance, with different thoughts, and no one was willing to launch an attack first.
No one knows the fighting power of Baiqi better than them.
If you want to launch a surprise attack and capture or even kill the emperor among the heavy guards of Baiqi, you must pay a heavy price.
Once you use up all your troops, how can you control the future situation!
Therefore, at this time, the two of them hesitated, both wanting the other to take the lead.
For a time, the momentum of the previous attack was lost.
As a famous general, Hou Junji certainly knows that soldiers are valuable and quick.
Once it is dragged on and Li Er attracts reinforcements, everything will be meaningless!
Thinking of this, Hou Junji said: "Your Majesty, the emperor has already hid in this attic. If we attack by force, we will suffer heavy losses. Why not use thunder to force them out?"
Hou Junji knew very well that the only way now was to hold the emperor hostage.
As long as Baiqi is defeated and Li Junxian is killed, his left guard army will be able to control the entire Lishan Mountain.
With the cooperation of hundreds of soldiers equipped with muskets, it is only a matter of time before all the brave elite cavalry are killed!
Nowadays, bombing with thunderous thunder is the best way.
As long as he captures the emperor and forces him to give way to the prince, then his goal will be achieved!
His Hou Junji will also become the most powerful official under one person and above ten thousand people, and control the history of the government and celebrities!
Li Yuanchang also had similar ideas, but he was bolder and wanted to become the emperor himself!
The two of them had different thoughts and were planning their own plans.
Of course, Li Yuanchang still felt sorry for Hong Tianlei. After all, this thing was hard to come by, and he didn't have much on hand.
His Majesty Li Er also observed the actions of Hou Junji and others.
It was a bit unbelievable to see these rebels filling the corner of the attic with thunder.
Although these thunderous experiments have long been successful, not many have been produced.
But they brought out so much, His Majesty Li Er couldn't help but feel a little moved. It was obvious that there was a big problem with the firearms supervisor.
If these thunderbolts exploded, the attic would be damaged. Then the emperor would no longer have a shield to hide, and would have to fight head-on.
Although he was very confident in his own Hundred Cavalry, the opponent's number was dozens of times theirs.
No matter how confident he is, His Majesty Li Er is not absolutely sure that he can rush out.
Now he really regrets not listening to Yang Fan.
If he had been more careful, he would not have fallen into such a passive situation.
In their thoughts, Hou Junji and Li Yuanchang ordered Tie Ming to retreat dozens of meters.
His Majesty Li Er was slightly startled and quickly thought of something.
Before he could react, he felt the ground beneath his feet suddenly tremble.
Waves of earth-shattering explosions rang in my ears, and the entire pavilion shook instantly.
If these were not wooden structures, the attic would have collapsed.
At the same time, his nose smelled a burning smell, which scared Li Er out of his wits!
If there was a fire, wouldn't he, the emperor, be buried in a sea of flames?
Is it possible that Hou Junji, Li Yuanchang and others want to put themselves to death?
As of now, things are indeed beyond the control of His Majesty Li Er.
Almost at the moment when the explosion sounded, Li Junxian next to him threw himself on the emperor and shouted loudly: "Escort him!"
The hundreds of elite cavalrymen around him suddenly surrounded him, tightly surrounding His Majesty Li Er.
The other part drew out the horizontal knife, cleared some collapsed walls and cleared a path, protecting His Majesty Li Er from rushing out of the attic.
As soon as the explosion sounded, Yang Fan also arrived not far from the attic.
Seeing that the attic was filled with smoke and dust, and even a fire had started, Yang Fan shouted: "Jun Mai, lead the guards to clear a way, I want to go over and rescue your majesty."
Xi Junmai led dozens of guards, listened to Yang Fan's orders, found a good bunker, and cleared a path for Yang Fan and Princess Changle.
Because these guards used revolvers that Yang Fan had exchanged from the system, and they were calculated mentally and unintentionally.
The rebels led by Hou Junji and Li Yuanchang were quickly killed one to two hundred people.
Seeing that their soldiers were defenseless, Hou Junji and Li Yuanchang were so frightened that they quickly shrank back.
When he reacted again, Yang Fan had already led Princess Changle to the attic.
They happened to meet Li Junxian protecting His Majesty Li Er as he ran out of the attic that had been burned by a raging fire.
Looking at the scene in front of him, Yang Fan suddenly took a breath!
If they had been slower, His Majesty Li Er and the others might have perished in the flames.
When he saw Yang Fan and Princess Changle, Li Er was slightly startled, and then said happily: "Why are you here, where are Gao Yang, Xiao Sizi and the others?"
Before Yang Fan could speak, Princess Changle said with red eyes: "Father, don't worry, Gao Yang and Xiao Sizi have been sent back to Chang'an City by Lang Jun."
"However, my father was too careless and allowed these rebellious officials and traitors to be pushed to this point."
"If Lang Jun comes one step later, wouldn't my father... let me tell my sons and ministers what to do?"
His Majesty Li Er was a little embarrassed. He knew that he was indeed a little reckless this time, so he could only comfort him quickly: "Chang Le, please stop crying. Isn't your father okay?"
In order to alleviate the embarrassment of His Majesty Li Er, and seeing Hou Junji and Li Yuanchang arranging their soldiers in the distance to prepare for the siege, Yang Fan quickly reminded: "Your Majesty, we'd better break out of the siege quickly. If we are trapped by them, it will be a big trouble. "
Just now, His Majesty Li Er also saw the great power of the guards brought by Yang Fan. In a short time, he wiped out one or two hundred people, which was an eye-opener for him.
He really didn't expect the pistol to be so powerful!
But what Li Er didn't know was that the pistols of these guards could be fired several times in succession, and there was no need to change bullets every time.
But those made by the imperial court were far from achieving such an effect.
Although he was disgraced and embarrassed, Li Er looked relaxed at this time and said to Yang Fan: "Okay, it's time for us to fight back. Now you and Li Junxian will eliminate these rebellious officials and traitors together." .”
"According to the order!" Li Junxian and Yang Fan looked at each other and replied with a wry smile.
Does the emperor think that the other party is a wooden person?
Even if thousands of pigs stand still, it will take a while to kill them, not to mention that these people are the elite of the imperial court.
What's more, the other party also has muskets. Although there are not too many people, they can definitely form a confrontation with them.
After all, there are only more than 100 guards and Baiqi in total, which is a huge difference!
Unless Cheng Yaojin can come to the rescue.
However, judging from the scenes he saw along the way, Cheng Yaojin had been separated and could not break through the defense lines of Hou Junji and Li Yuanchang. It was simply unrealistic to attack in a short time.
Just as they were about to break out while Hou Junji and the others had not stabilized their position, they saw Hou Junji commanding soldiers to surround them from all directions.
Yang Zhang felt anxious and was sweating profusely. He found a high place and looked around, trying to find a good breakout point.
Just as Yang Fan was looking at it, Xi Junmai was startled and quickly stopped him: "Master, be careful!"
If you come out to explore like this, wouldn't you become a living target?
While Yang Fan was looking for the enemy's weak link, he said, "Don't worry, it's okay!"
In his opinion, ordinary bows and arrows really have no fatal damage to him.
Unfortunately, before he finished speaking, a burst of gunshots suddenly sounded in his ears.
Yang Fan was so frightened that he quickly fell to the ground. Several bullets hit the snowdrift not far away, causing a burst of snowflakes.
Several bullets flew close to his scalp, frightening Yang Fan into a cold sweat.
If these bullets hit the head, even if you practice the golden bell and the iron cloth shirt, you won't be able to withstand it!
Of course, the guards and Baiqi fought back quickly. Gunshots burst out and the entire Lishan Palace was completely in chaos.
Yang Fan's mind was spinning.
Knowing that if the attack continues like this, once they run out of ammunition, they will become turtles in the urn.
Gritting his teeth, Yang Fan took the lead and shouted: "Come on me, attack Hou Junji's central army directly. As long as Hou Junji is killed, the rebels will defeat themselves without attacking."
Baiqi was already resentful of Hou Junji's rebellion, and the rest of the guards also listened to Yang Fan.
Hearing this, his morale was shaken. While counterattacking, he rushed directly towards where Hou Junji was.
These hundreds of cavalry are all veterans who have been trained for a long time, and Yang Fan's guards are specially selected soldiers who have been strictly selected. Regardless of their ambition or ability, they are not comparable to Hou Junji's left guard.
The sudden charge actually caused the resisting rebels to retreat step by step.
His Majesty Li Er's eyes were clear, and he quickly encouraged him: "My sons, please give me a title for capturing the rebellious mastermind, and kill them for me!"
These words seemed to ignite explosives, and the Baiqi and guards who rushed forward screamed.
Being able to be knighted is definitely a great event that will bring glory to one's family. Who doesn't want to do that?
Even if the guard is very loyal to Yang Fan, it doesn't mean that he doesn't want to get a title for the sake of his descendants.
Seeing this scene, Yang Fan did not blame him, but felt a little lucky.
His Majesty Li Er was still very reliable at the critical moment. He was originally at a disadvantage, but his words immediately boosted morale and made him stronger in terms of momentum.
What else can drive passion in the heart more than interests?
Although Hou Junji and Li Yuanchang brought so many rebels, almost no one fought hard.
As soon as they saw how brave Baiqi and the guards were, most of the rebels fled at the first sight, which showed that not all the rebels were determined to follow Hou Junji and the others to rebel.
It seems that His Majesty Li Er still makes these people very afraid.
As long as the emperor has not fallen, no one dares to underestimate him.
However, His Majesty Li Er's shouting attracted Hou Junji's attention.
The flag bearer changed the direction of the attack and pointed his gun at His Majesty Li Er.
Yang Fan could no longer care about anything else and let Xi Junmai lead the guards into the battle while he withdrew.
No matter what, we can't let anything happen to His Majesty Li Er!
Once His Majesty Li Er is killed, no one can stop the forces from all sides, and the world will inevitably be in chaos.
Now Yang Fan is not ready yet, he does not want to face so many aristocratic families alone.
Once you are besieged by aristocratic families, your life will be lost if you are not careful, and this debt cannot be paid off!
What's more, His Majesty Li Er must at least be worthy of this affection when he marries his daughter to himself.
Besides, if he succeeds in rescuing the driver, Li Er will definitely trust him more.
Only after arriving in Jiangnan can Yang Fan go all out and do what he wants to do!
Having some concerns in his heart, Yang Fan crouched and hurriedly approached His Majesty Li Er, shouting at the same time: "Your Majesty, it's dangerous, get down quickly!"
