Prime Minister Gao was in disbelief after hearing what the general said.
How could it be possible? How could it be possible? How could we lose two thousand against five hundred? How could we lose?
He even sat down a little slumpedly and had no strength to stand up.
"Prime Minister, what are you still thinking about? If you don't run away, I will run away!" The general seemed to be in a hurry. He pushed Cheng Wang's body and said to the sitting Prime Minister Gao.
He had been frightened just now. If he hadn't been running fast and Li Rusi rushed into the position, he himself was not sure how far he would have been able to fight.
"Run? What are you running for? Where are you running to?" Although Prime Minister Gao looked ugly, he still tried to maintain his composure.
"Escape from the palace, or else wait for death here?" The general said matter-of-factly. Seeing that he was about to fail, why are he still staying here? And hasn't the goal been achieved? King Cheng has also been killed.
"We want to escape. Now we want to find King Qinghe. Only by killing him can this matter be settled." Prime Minister Gao's mind was spinning very quickly.
"Have you people outside found King Qinghe?" Prime Minister Gao asked eagerly.
"This?" The general looked bitter.
"Is something wrong?" Prime Minister Gao's heart sank. Looking at the general's expression, he knew something was wrong.
"Prime Minister, didn't you order to capture Zhuang Xun? He was not captured. Instead, the brothers were defeated by Mrs. Jiang. Now, let alone looking for someone, they are all focused on escaping." The general tried to speak as casually as possible.
Prime Minister Gao felt a tightness in his chest and wanted to vomit blood.
"I still have 10,000 people under the command of Jidu. Yes, I ordered them to come and kill them before it's too late." Prime Minister Gao could no longer care about being exposed.
History is written by the victors. Fame is no longer important at this moment. The first contradiction is that King Qinghe has escaped. The second one is the people in the palace. If they are allowed to control the emperor, City, which means that the control of the internal defense has changed hands.
It goes without saying which one is more important. One is just a matter of reputation, and the other is directly a matter of life and death. Without the first one, there is still hope, but without the second one, there will be nothing.
Therefore, the activities of the forces of Yu State in the palace must be stopped immediately, so the prime minister can no longer care about exposing himself as a rebel.
"It's too late. There are too many people on the other side now, and the soldiers are also afraid of the woman in red." The general consoled him. Now that the King of Heaven is here, these cowardly soldiers no longer dare to resist Li Rusi. Li Rusi saw He is the kind of fierce general who is not afraid of arrows. He is no longer an ordinary person. Whoever dares to attack will lose his life in vain?
"You just need to resist for a moment. When the city army comes, no matter how powerful this yellow-haired girl Li Rusi is, she can still withstand thousands of troops." He was already anxious, and the layout had been planned for a long time. God knows if he, a civil servant, would interfere with the army or not cause trouble for the Li family. How difficult is it to pay attention?
It can only slowly penetrate when dealing with certain problems for the emperor. This time, the rotation of the border troops, the wedding of the Li family, the defeat of Youguo and other factors combined to carefully arrange such a situation. How could it be because of such a small thing? Li Rusi was destroyed like this.
"Prime Minister Gao, don't forget why we came to help you?" the general said sadly.
"What's the main reason why we are willing to help you get into the palace? It's because we think you can help us get rid of Li Pingyuan, not Li Rusi. Now we want to get rid of Li Pingyuan, do you understand?" The general obviously said. Instead of accepting Prime Minister Gao's request, he emphasized the basis for cooperation between the two parties.
"We are willing to come here with you because you guarantee that the inner guards can capture the Li family and kill Li Pingyuan. Has the Li family been captured now? Is Li Pingyuan dead?"
The general questioned and said that You Guo hated Li Pingyuan with a deep hatred. After the battle in Xishui, they all knew that Chen Zhao and others were greedy for power and rushed forward, but Li Pingyuan did break You Guo's thigh and would no longer be able to do anything in a few years. expansion.
This time Youguo was able to get together with Prime Minister Gao Guozhou because Prime Minister Gao and Li Pingyuan were political enemies. Eliminating Li Pingyuan would be a good thing for both parties, if the result goes well.
Youguo got rid of a worry and publicized the killing of Li Pingyuan, which was conducive to domestic stability. Prime Minister Gao also got rid of a political enemy and stifled the other party's idea of reform. It was a win-win situation, as long as Prime Minister Gao could kill him.
But what was the result? They rushed into the palace and helped Prime Minister Gao kill King Cheng. Then, Li Pingyuan was still alive, and now the other party asked him to block the red-robed murderer. How could this be possible?
"General Yu, as long as there is a stick of incense, the city army will arrive. Then we will go to the Li family to kill Li Pingyuan." Prime Minister Gao panicked. If the general in front of him did not help him, let the Li family's daughter drive straight in, and even It's all over once the Fenghe Palace is breached.
"Prime Minister Gao, do you know what nature and nurture mean?" General Yu glanced at Prime Minister Gao.
"The Qi flows outside and blocks the arrows. Unless they are exhausted, ordinary soldiers can't do anything to her. Who dares to stop her if you ask her to?" General Yu said enviously, but at the same time he was a little helpless. Although he was also born with innate talent.
There is also a gap between talents. He himself can't maintain this state for at most one stick of incense, but Li Rusi has been in this state for a long time, and she doesn't seem to be exhausted at all.
Li Rusi was just a woman, and her talent was so good that only the most powerful warriors in history had the ability.
"You have to know that after she captures Fenghe Palace, she will definitely order the inner guards to return. It will be even harder to kill Li Pingyuan by then. It is better to hold off Li Rusi and give the inner guards more opportunities." Prime Minister Gao grabbed You Explain the mentality of the Chinese people who want to kill Li Pingyuan.
General Yu frowned and weighed the pros and cons to see if he and others had the ability to kill Li Pingyuan when they went out. He nodded helplessly.
"There is only time for one stick of incense." General Yu sighed and planned to go up and stop Li Rusi for a while. If he could really let Prime Minister Gao kill Li Pingyuan, it would not be impossible to take some risks.
Li Pingyuan's life and death were of great significance to Youguo, and his reputation was so powerful in Youguo. With him here, even if Youguo finally recruited new soldiers, no general would dare to lead a team to fight with him.
But before he could take action, a message from a soldier saved his life.
"General, the north gate is wide open, and the Imperial Army has broken in."
"Impossible. The Li family's imperial army and the border army should be fighting together. How could it be possible to enter through the north gate." Prime Minister Gao was confused. He knew that Li Shaoyun had kidnapped the prince and went to open the north gate, but he ignored him because of the Li family's faction. The Imperial Guards must have been fighting with the border troops. How could they enter through the north gate?
"Why fight? Just withdraw." General Yu immediately overturned the decision he had just made. He weighed the pros and cons and decided that it was not worth it, so he simply withdrew.
"We can't withdraw. If we withdraw, it will really be over..." Prime Minister Gao panicked for the third time. The originally perfect plan, which had three layers of insurance, was so shattered.
"Prime Minister, can't you see? You have failed. Now you are asking for 10,000 city troops to help the inner guards kill Li Pingyuan. Prime Minister, you and I can escape to Youguo without losing our title of duke. "General Yu said with a flash of inspiration in his mind.
"No, no, kill Li Pingyuan right now. I'll seize King Qinghe and push the matter to him. I just carried out the emperor's order. Now the emperor is dead. The emperor is dead. No one knows. These ten thousand people are going to find King Qinghe."
Prime Minister Gao is not willing to fail. He cannot lose this huge gamble, even if there is only a glimmer of hope, he can win, and even if he cannot win, he must draw.
"No discussion at all?" General Yu narrowed his eyes with a cold light. Unfortunately, Prime Minister Gao, who had missed three times in a row, was too nervous to notice.
"General Yu, you also need to understand the difficulty of me. If I can't find anyone to blame, I will take the blame. These ten thousand people will try their best to find King Qinghe."
Prime Minister Gao was embarrassed to say that it had nothing to do with Li Pingyuan's life now. He just wanted to protect his capital in this game.
Now we need to keep our reputation, and the murder of Li Pingyuan can be blamed on the dead emperor.
"Okay, then, give the order to the inner guards at the south gate to abandon the city gate and rescue them, and let me leave." General Yu seemed to have given up on this request.
"Okay!" Prime Minister Gao thought for a moment and felt that these people were no longer needed. In other words, they were useful, but they were not harmful and people could not discover his relationship with You Guo.
So he began to order all the internal guards who had captured the south gate to come to the palace to rescue him.
He was about to comfort General Yu, thinking that there would be a chance to cooperate next time, after all, Li Pingyuan was not dead yet.
"Pfft..." The knife stabbed into Prime Minister Gao's lower back.
He couldn't believe it, but when he turned around, he could only see General Yu's sneering profile.
"I will be punished when I return to You Kingdom. You still want to be your prime minister, but you want to be beautiful. If you are not a good person, don't blame others for thinking that I am cruel." General Yu wiped the knife with a cloth in disgust. .
"General, it's time to go!" the attendant reminded, and General Yu strode out.
Only the resentful soul was left, watching his leaving figure, and the soul of Cheng Wang who laughed happily as he was stabbed to death.
…
Concubine Li took the young prince hostage and came to the north gate. As expected, this place was also occupied by the internal guards, who resolutely enforced the request not to let anyone enter.
She ordered the inner guards to come back, but she was afraid that these people would disobey them, so she went directly to the scene to supervise the battle, and then ordered people in her palace to deliver the message. She could no longer trust the inner guards, and this was also the case, and the order was not conveyed.
The generals in charge of the North Gate City Defense waited carefully, not daring to be vague in the face of orders. Perhaps they seemed to think that these were royal family affairs, and they did not care who gave the orders, as long as they were all members of the royal family.
The prince was in the hands of Concubine Li. Concubine Li was usually very prestigious. When she heard the order from the concubine, she could only open the door. If the prince was hurt and the credit was not taken, the consequences would be certain.
There were crowds of people, shadows swaying, soldiers wearing armor and sharp swords, and the sound of cavalry's hoofbeats could be heard from afar.
"Sister, I'm here!" The imperial army led by Li Chengzhi passed through the city gate and found Concubine Li.
"Come with me to wipe out the rebels in the palace and save daddy." Because of the rebels, Concubine Li only dared to open the door and ask the family's imperial guards to rescue her instead of leading the prince through the area controlled by the rebels. Order the internal guards attacking the Li family to stop.
Now with the forbidden army brought by Li Chengzhi, she finally had the confidence.
"That's natural. I am the vanguard. I will destroy the rebel army with my sister first. The main force will be entangled with the border troops and will be here soon." There was anger in Li Chengzhi's eyes, and he needed to kill someone to untie it.
"Why is it related to the border army? How long will we have to deal with it?" Concubine Li felt that her ability to understand was poor.
"It won't be long. Dad told us to seize power from the entire Forbidden Army first. We have the advantage in numbers and don't dare to attack the other side." Li Chengzhi explained.
"You, seize power?" Concubine Li looked at her brother in disbelief.
"With the support of my uncles and uncles, how could I have been the deputy commander of the Forbidden Army? My father had already laid out the plan. As soon as I shouted, these people came in and tied him up. Then they used the reputation of my uncles and uncles to spread the rumors. The prime minister conspired to rebel and mobilized the Imperial Army to march into the city to quell the rebellion." Li Chengzhi briefly described.
"It doesn't matter. It's best if you come. As long as we defeat the rebels, we can save dad. He must have been ordered to be harmed by the prime minister. We don't know the situation now. We have to speed up the pace." Concubine Li said worriedly, not caring. Chat more with Li Chengzhi and quickly give orders.
Because she didn't trust what the inner guards said, she didn't know the actual situation, but she thought Li Pingyuan should be safe, otherwise the inner guards who attacked the Li family would have come back.
"I understand. Sister, please come and guard the north gate. There will be a large number of soldiers later. I'm leaving to quell the civil strife and save dad." He got off the horse and walked through the winding road of the palace city. The role of horses was small and it was really not as good as walking.
"Go and take my imperial edict with you." Concubine Li waved her hand, and after a simple division of labor, she immediately devoted herself to their respective tasks.
The process went smoothly because Li Chengzhi met Li Rusi.
Looking at the red clothes dyed with blood, it seemed that the evil Asura ghosts were nothing more than this, and the beautiful Asura women had better fight.
Anyway, Li Chengzhi's eyelids jumped, and he even asked in fear and disbelief: "Second sister?"
"Brother? Where are you from?" Li Rusi, with red eyes, ignored Li Chengzhi's frightened expression because she knew how scary she was now.
Both parties checked the information and adjusted their decisions.
"To control the emperor, let him issue an edict to recall the internal guards." In total, this can reduce the time the most and is the most efficient. Even bringing the emperor with him has the best effect.
Just do what you say, and the two sides join forces to attack the monastery of King Cheng.
Entering the small courtyard, they found Prime Minister Gao lying in a pool of blood. The two siblings were slightly confused.
"My dear, you are finally here to save me." Tears welled up in King Cheng's hands as he covered his neck.
This made the siblings look at each other, not knowing what to say.
"The prime minister has exclusive power and took advantage of the fact that his daughter is the queen. He passed the imperial edict privately and colluded with the people of Youguo to murder Grand Master Li. Is Grand Master Li okay?" King Cheng asked with concern. This kind of question made the siblings even more stern. Threats stuck in his mouth.
"Life or death is unknown. Please order the Holy One to withdraw the attacking internal guards of Yongguo Palace." Li Rusi requested that no matter what tricks King Cheng played, saving his father was the most important thing now.
"It's too troublesome to issue an edict. I'll go with you directly. It's not safe in the palace anymore, but it has harmed Yushi Zhuang. He suffered this disaster on his wedding night." King Cheng said proactively.
Drink Meng Po soup and forget all the things in the ghost world.
King Cheng didn't know what happened when he was a ghost, but the queen appeared in the face of a bull-headed horse.
"Reverend Zhuang Shan has used great merit to ensure your return to the world. Remember to repay the favor."
