The You army failed to catch Zhuang Xun and fled in panic. The You army in the palace gathered in formation to prepare for a fight with the invading Yu army.
Two thousand versus five hundred, I don’t know how to lose, at least that’s what the prime minister thought, but is this the reality?
Abandoning their horses and marching, the soldiers moved forward in formation as they had practiced the past few days. Li Rusi stood with a gun in hand. She showed no fear in the face of soldiers several times her size. She was excited by the people she had just killed. For the first time, this courage was put to use.
"Kill!" Taking the lead.
The elites who had been shocked by Li Rusi's bravery in the battle stopped thinking and subconsciously followed Li Rusi. Blood splashed everywhere and the jade courtyard was dripping with blood.
One Li Rusi and the other He Heng were like two sharp spearheads, carving out two gaps. These were the elites of the Yu State, and there were two fierce generals taking the lead. On the contrary, the You army with a large number was unable to resist. live.
Dressed as a merchant guard, she had few long weapons. Without any long weapons to stop her, Li Rusi descended from the mountain like a fierce tiger.
The role of a brave general is huge in close combat. If no one dares to get close, no matter how large the number is, they will only dare to retreat. It is obvious that they are attacking more with less, and the opponent is not a mob. In terms of momentum, the Yu army has the upper hand. .
She was dressed in red, soaked in blood, and even her eyes seemed to be red, like an Asura girl born from a sea of blood.
"Kill her and get a bounty of 10,000 taels..." I wanted to encourage the soldiers to move forward.
But only when we have hope can we dare to move forward. If there is no hope, who dares to move forward and risk his life?
As the two armies were fighting, the winner was about to be decided, and everyone in Fenghe Hall was worried.
Empress Gao, Concubine Lin, and Concubine Li were all taken to Fenghe Hall.
"Why did we reach the palace? I don't know what happened to the Holy One." Lin Guifei cried and kept wiping her tears. She was in line with Chengguo's aesthetics. She was as sick as a child, so she looked pretty when she cried.
"Your Majesty will be safe and sound, and the inner guards have been sent back to rescue him." The queen comforted him, saying that she was also worried about whether her father had completed his plan and killed the Li family.
Concubine Li frowned, listening to Concubine Lin's sobs, she looked at Empress Gao: "Queen, where are the inner guards? What are the 20,000 inner guards going to do? Isn't their duty to defend the imperial city? "
"Because there was a rebellion, the inner guards went to suppress the rebellion." The queen kept her face calm. She knew that the inner guards went to deal with the Li family. What she thought was an easy and simple thing turned out to be so difficult.
There has been no news for a long time. Now that people are coming back, they are being restrained by an unknown force. I don't know if one of them can defeat the rebel army.
"Who rebelled? The transfer of the internal guards requires your approval, the Queen. Whose rebellion are the 20,000 internal guards going to quell?" Concubine Li's words were filled with confusion.
"Of course it was the rebellion of King Qinghe. He used Concubine Li and your sister's marriage to get people to sneak into Jidu and launch the rebellion!" Queen Gao said calmly, even putting the blame on the Li family.
"Is that so? Where did the city army go? The 30,000 city army and the forbidden troops outside the city, where did they go?" Concubine Li came from a military family and was familiar with these things. She heard that the internal guards came out of the imperial city to quell the chaos. , she felt something was wrong.
"Sister Li, you haven't helped with the affairs these days. The newly appointed commander-in-chief of Jidu is a Taoist from Qinghe. The city army can no longer trust him." Empress Gao made up lies and improvised excuses that looked exactly like the truth.
"In that case, can't the Imperial Army not be trusted? Our Li family can still say something to the Imperial Army." Concubine Li was not deceived.
"The General of Jidu is in charge of the four cities and is in charge of the four city gates. He has asked the imperial army to come and quell the chaos. The purpose of the inner guard is to seize the city gate and let the imperial army enter." Empress Gao nodded and followed Concubine Li's words. , the more you speak, the smoother it becomes.
"That's right." Concubine Li nodded understandingly.
"Concubine Li, sister Li, your Li family must put down this rebellion." Concubine Lin grabbed Concubine Li when she heard the queen's words. Tears were shining in her eyes. I felt pity for her.
Not only because she was worried about victory or defeat, but more importantly, the issue of status in the palace after victory or defeat. From the Queen's words, King Qinghe's rebellion meant that she would lose regardless of whether she won or lost, a big loss, a big loss.
As the concubine of the Qinghe King faction, her father is the Jiedushi of Qinghe Road and a die-hard member of the Qinghe King faction. The success of the Qinghe King's rebellion this time will only ensure that she has no worries about food and clothing. It is more likely that as a concubine of the previous dynasty, Qinghe Lamp ancient Buddha.
If the rebellion fails, it will be serious. If you are thrown into the cold palace, you will never be able to stand up in this life. If it is serious, you may be killed by poison, alcohol, and poison.
So now she was showing her kindness to Concubine Li, and her hair stood on end just thinking about it. She didn't dare to think about it anymore, and couldn't help but get closer to Concubine Li.
Concubine Li is clean, she has no prince, and King Qinghe will not be liquidated even if she wins. If she really wants to have a head-on confrontation with Li Pingyuan, King Qinghe will also have to think about it, and it should be mainly to win over her, so he can also go along with the flow and do favors.
If King Qinghe fails and Concubine Li has a strong family background and quells King Qinghe's rebellion, the Li family will become the only one to fight against the Gao family. At this time, their right to speak will also be greatly increased. If he pleases her now, he will be able to do so in the future. Leave a way to survive, otherwise you will really be poisoned.
"It's natural. Dad has experienced many battles, but today is my sister's wedding. The traitor will attack at this time. Dad may not be able to react." Concubine Li said worriedly, her eyes showing a bit of cruelty.
"Yes, it's so despicable. You actually choose this time. Isn't it because you are afraid of Grand Master Li." Lin Guifei helped, saying that now she must put on a posture of being incompatible with King Qinghe.
Now that King Qinghe has been defined as a rebel, even if he is in King Qinghe's faction, Concubine Lin must scold him, and she must scold him harder than anyone else.
"So these traitors are cunning." Empress Gao also echoed, but she was secretly worried in her heart. Why did the inner guard go away for so long? It stands to reason that no matter how powerful the Li family is, they have all been killed by now.
As long as he comes back and quells the rebellion in the palace, why is it wasting so much time? Is there something wrong?
She was worried in her heart, but her expression remained stable. She couldn't let Concubine Li see her worries at this moment. Her status in the palace was not much different from hers. It would be better to say that because Li Pingyuan had won a great victory, Concubine Li's status was even more A rising tide lifts all boats. The palace is a place that believes in majesty. If Concubine Li is strong, she will have more fans.
It is not a wise choice to conflict with her now. As long as dad can achieve the expected goal and eliminate the Li family, everything will be settled. Without the backing of the Li family, Concubine Li will be a tiger without claws. Can't hurt anyone.
"Is the prince okay? I don't see the prince. Didn't the Queen forget to take the prince to Fenghe Palace?" Concubine Li suddenly asked, as if to remind Empress Gao.
"I'm resting in the apse. It's getting late. I don't want to burden the child with such a thing, so I let him go to bed." The queen said that the prince was safe.
"That's good. Now that the rebels have captured the True Monastery, if Your Majesty..." Concubine Lin was halfway through her words, and she understood the rest of the meaning.
If the emperor has something wrong, the emperor's most orthodox child can inherit the throne. If both of them die, wouldn't King Qinghe be the next in line?
"I understand that I have kept him in the palace all day today and do not dare to let him run around." Of course the queen understands the importance of her son. King Qinghe's current rebellion has reached the Zhenxiu Hall, and she does not Know if the emperor emperor is still alive.
Queen Gao didn't know that it was her father's men who had invaded the palace, and thought it was King Qinghe's team. She kept asking for help, but she had no hope that the emperor would survive, since King Qinghe came to seize the throne. , it is impossible even to think about saving the emperor's life.
"That's good, that's good. The Queen has thought it through." Concubine Lin praised, flattering Empress Gao. When Concubine Li asked, Concubine Lin also realized that as long as the emperor dies and King Qinghe fails, he will soon What's coming is Queen Gao's coming to the throne.
So she also tried to please Queen Gao. She wanted to have both sides, no, that was a bit exaggerated. She wanted to sell each other well and pray for a chance of survival in the future. After all, she cherished her own life very much.
"The back hall? Can I go and see it? The last time we met was at a family dinner two years ago. I don't know what the prince is like now." Concubine Li said with nostalgia.
"I also know that the prince is sleeping now, but I haven't seen him this time, and I don't know when I will next see him. I have never given birth to the emperor. Seeing the prince is enough to satisfy my desire. It's just a look. I don't want to disturb the prince's rest. ." Concubine Li begged with an apologetic expression.
Empress Gao was a little hesitant, but quickly agreed. Concubine Li had already said it so sincerely. Is there something wrong with you making excuses for not agreeing?
"Let's go, Concubine Li, Concubine Lin." Empress Gao walked forward, and Concubine Li and Concubine Lin came to the back hall.
Sure enough, a five or six year old child had already gone to bed.
Concubine Lin was also envious. Unlike Concubine Li, she was so frightened by her background that the emperor wouldn't touch her. However, after the emperor became a Taoist, he basically didn't touch the harem, and she didn't have any children.
Looking at the sleeping child, is this the future leader of the country? There’s not even competition.
Envy it.
"Concubine Li, the emperor is asleep..." Queen Gao reminded her as she watched Concubine Li approach the prince.
After hearing her words, Concubine Li moved faster, picked up the candlestick, pulled out the candles, and picked up the four or five-year-old child.
"It's good if he's the real prince." Concubine Li's eyes flashed fiercely, and the thorny tip of the candlestick pointed at the prince's neck.
"Queen Mother, Queen Mother..." The prince who was mentioned didn't know why, and when he saw the sharp spikes close at hand, he cried for help.
"Concubine Li, what do you want to do? If you have anything to do with me, come to me. Don't hurt my children." Queen Gao was shocked and said angrily.
"Concubine Li, calm down, you have the prince in your hands!" Concubine Lin subconsciously persuaded her, then she realized something and closed her mouth again.
If the only royal heir dies...
"I just know it's the prince. When you get out, I will send an order to the imperial army to enter the city." Concubine Li carried the prince and walked out, while Queen Gao and Concubine Lin retreated.
"I have already issued an edict to recruit the imperial troops into the city, but I was too hasty and did not inform you." Empress Gao persuaded, thinking that this was the place that made Concubine Li vigilant.
"Young master, the inner guards are not dealing with King Qinghe, they are dealing with our Li family." Concubine Li sneered, her cold face filled with sarcasm.
"Concubine Li, why did you say this?" Empress Gao was stunned, showing confusion.
"What you just said is full of loopholes. If you want to allow the Forbidden Army to enter the city, just one city gate, just the north gate, why control four gates? It's not about letting the Forbidden Army into the city, it's about not allowing the Forbidden Army to enter the city." Concubine Li analyzed calmly. Said, Queen Gao's expression turned frightened.
"Not only that, Commander Jidu, do you think you can really mobilize the generals of the four cities, and you still want your imperial army to seize the door?"
Li Rusi sneered and said that this kind of excuse is enough to coax ordinary people. She was born in a military family. She knew that the generals of the Four Cities were nominally under the control of Jidu Commandery. In fact, Jidu Commandery could not be adjusted. Jidu Commandery was just a rubber. The seal was actually under the direct control of the emperor.
Your Jidu Commander participated in the rebellion. What does it have to do with the generals of the North (East, West, South) City (Gate)? It’s just that the emperor did nothing and went to practice Taoism. The Queen exercised military power on her behalf without even realizing it. The relationship between the Jidu Commandery and the four city generals, Just now, they were all included in the rebels.
"You misunderstood. It's the rebellion of the four generals and the border troops from the west. They can't open the door!" The queen forced herself to calm down.
"You are still deceiving me and drafting an edict to order the front troops of the Imperial Guard to pass through the north gate to quell the rebellion in Jidu." Concubine Li came to the front hall and ordered the eunuch to say.
A group of eunuchs saw the prince being held by Concubine Li, and the candlestick in Concubine Li's hand.
"Can't you hear me? Write quickly. Also, the north gate is open to welcome the imperial army into the city!" Concubine Li said forcefully.
"Your Majesty, this is not in accordance with the etiquette." said the eunuch who drafted the draft.
"Etiquette? If there is any punishment, I will be responsible for it. Now you are responsible for writing the edict and opening the city gate! Or do you want to bear the responsibility of the prince's death because of you?" Concubine Li's eyes were cold, and everyone who was glanced at them felt Hang your head.
"Can't...sigh..." Queen Gao wanted to stop it, but she couldn't stop it at all. Seeing that the prince was in the hands of Concubine Li, Concubine Li's aura had already overwhelmed the entire audience.
She could only believe that her father could finish off the Li family and return to defend the palace before the Imperial Army entered the city.
It's just that her father's head is about to explode now.
"We lost. You were two thousand against five hundred. You are not the elite troops of You Kingdom. Why did you lose!" Prime Minister Gao looked incredulous. How could he lose? How could he lose?
"Prime Minister, in the middle of the fight, we were neck and neck with her (running away from her), and suddenly a surprise soldier appeared, overwhelming us." The defeated general said, looking for a reason for himself.
In fact, I can no longer hold on. They are really elites. The two people on the other side are killing people and collecting food. If they were not elites, they would have been defeated long ago.
"Qi Bing, what Qi Bing?" Prime Minister Gao thought about who else.
"There is no flag, and the personnel are not uniformly equipped. I vaguely heard Mrs. Jiang, Prime Minister, let's escape together."
"After the exchange of lives, the eldest lady came to the door with a knife"
Recommendation: The protagonist gets a game where he can exchange bodies with others and bind them to practice.
