The officers and soldiers who besieged the prince Yang Jimin fell to death when they saw their bald heads. At that moment, the morale of the army was slack, and none of them wanted to fight.
He was the top master among them, and he died in just a few rounds, which would have shocked anyone else.
Gu Shengchao collected the dragon and jumped to the ground to help Yan Yifan kill the surrounding officers and soldiers.
His swords were flying and he was invincible. The officers and soldiers were already frightened by the news. Seeing that he had divine help, they immediately fled in all directions.
The officers and soldiers surrounded him quickly and left even faster, and in the blink of an eye they were gone without a trace.
Yan Yifan, the owner of Baixian Village, gasped for air and said excitedly: "Young Master Gu came in time. I thank you."
"Master Zhuang, you're welcome. I am also here on the orders of the Emperor of the Dawu Dynasty, specifically to find the whereabouts of Master Yan."
"Then please say a few kind words to the emperor for me. I will be very grateful." Yan Yifan burst into tears of gratitude.
The crisis was temporarily resolved, and everyone immediately set off on the road after simple repairs, fearing that officers and soldiers would block them again.
Fortunately, the officers and soldiers were in a panic when escaping. For fear of being attacked from behind while mounting their horses, they just ran away and left some of the horses behind.
Gu Shengchao whistled loudly, and Zhui Feng came galloping from a distance, stopped beside him and rubbed his body with his big head.
Everyone set out on the road. Gu Shengchao asked them where they were going. Tian Mang sighed: "Now we can only take one step at a time. We originally thought it would be more hidden here, but in the end we were discovered by the court and sent experts to besiege us. If it weren't for our brothers in time, Come here, we are in danger."
Gu Shengchao suddenly remembered a place: "Brother Tian, on our way back after getting the Night Pearl, we once passed by a 'Phoenix Castle.' It was far away from the imperial court and few people passed by. The city walls were tall and solid, making it an excellent place that was easy to defend but difficult to attack. "
Tian Mang was shocked: "That's a forbidden place." If you go in, you can't get out. "
Gu Shengchao accepted the spiritual consciousness given to him by Sima Xicheng. All the experiences of Phoenix Castle and Sima Xicheng seemed to be his own. However, he could not explain it clearly in front of others, so he could only say: "Didn't we come out safely later? , in my opinion, there are some hallucinogenic flowers and plants growing there. When we get there, we can burn the weeds around the castle first. After all, there are so many people taking care of each other, so there should be no worries."
Tian Mang was still timid. He didn't dare to make the decision, so he rode over to discuss with Yan Yifan.
After a while, Tian Mang returned to Gu Shengchao and said: "Our village owner said that we should take a gamble in these extraordinary times. Anyway, what we are doing now is to make a living by narrowly avoiding death and losing our heads. We will risk death and survive. Let's go to that place." Take a break from the limelight at Phoenix Castle, a "forbidden place", and see what's weird there. "
The journey was long, and the team took remote paths to avoid pursuit by officers and soldiers.
After setting up camp at night, Tian Mang arranged for patrols and personnel to stand guard, and returned to the camp to see Gu Shengchao waiting outside.
"Brother Gu, please come in." Tian Mang greeted him enthusiastically.
The tent was simple, with only a straw mat spread on the ground, and the two of them sat directly on the mat.
Tian Mang smiled and said, "Brother Gu just came today and you are alone. Did they not arrange a place for you to sleep?"
Gu Shengchao laughed loudly: "Brother Tian still knows about me. You also found it after asking several people here."
"The conditions are simple. The bedding will be delivered shortly. Let's just spend the night together tonight!" Tian Mang patted his legs and said.
"Brother Laotian is here."
Gu Shengchao asked: "What happened in the Xileng Kingdom to make you end up in such a mess."
"Everything in the world is unpredictable!" Tian Mang lamented.
It turns out that King Baocheng rebelled and was sentenced to death, his daughter fell out of favor and was thrown into the cold palace, and Concubine Zhen began to gain favor.
But this concubine had no heirs, so some people began to take advantage of her.
Yang Jile, the prince of the West Cold Kingdom, was originally used as a proton in the Dawu Dynasty. Later, in order to eradicate the prince, Wen Zhe, the eunuch general of the Dawu Dynasty, exchanged protons between the two countries and returned to their own countries.
Unexpectedly, it was self-defeating, and the returning prince Yucheng got rid of Wen Zhe by chance in the Dawu Dynasty and ascended the throne as emperor.
Yang Jile is also a proton
Saw hope.
Unfortunately, his mother died early, and the emperor didn't like him. He didn't have any acquaintances in the court, so he probably had no chance of ascending to the throne.
But opportunities are often created. Since there isn't one, then you have to create one out of thin air.
Concubine Zhen had no heirs, so Yang Jile recognized her as his mother.
Although the concubine Zhen was only three years older than him, the emperor was already old, and none of the concubines in the harem had been able to conceive for many years, so the chance of having another child was slim.
The old emperor had an unstable temperament, and Concubine Zhen was also worried that her favored status would not last long. Having a son would be an added layer of security.
Concubine Zhen and Yang Ji are happy to hit it off. They use each other to achieve success, and the relationship between mother and son is established.
What's more important is that Concubine Zhen's brother is a hussar general, who is an important minister with military power.
With the help of noble people, Yang Jile was able to get everything he wanted and gradually supported his own party members in the court.
When the time came, he first falsely accused the prince Yang Jimin of using witchcraft to curse the emperor, hoping that the emperor would die quickly so that he could ascend the throne as soon as possible.
The old emperor was confused and wanted to execute the prince indiscriminately. The ministers fought hard to protect the prince and demoted the prince to a commoner. He was driven out of the palace and hid in the home of an upright minister.
Naturally, with Concubine Zhen's seduction and Yang Jile's gang members making trouble, he became the prince as expected.
Yang Jile was not the only prince who was eyeing the throne of the crown prince. He was afraid that the other princes would secretly cause trouble and make him lose the throne of the crown prince, so he conspired with Concubine Zhen and General Hussar to get rid of the emperor.
At first, Concubine Zhen and General Hussar disagreed, but Yang Jile took advantage of it, saying that the old emperor was now moody, and if his status as prince was in jeopardy and Concubine Zhen fell out of favor, all future glory and wealth would be in vain.
The hussar generals who held heavy troops were even more fearful to the old emperor. There were many innocent generals who were demoted and killed, and no one hoped that it would be their turn next.
It is better to take advantage of this great opportunity to get rid of the old emperor. Yang Jile ascends the throne and becomes the emperor. The concubine Zhen and her mother are naturally the empress dowager respected by people in the world. The hussar general is the emperor's uncle. The family can be happy and don't have to worry. What's the point? Not for that.
In the end, Concubine Zhen and General Hussar were moved and fully cooperated with Yang Jile's actions.
With internal and external collusion, things will go extremely smoothly.
The old emperor died suddenly and suddenly. As the prince, Yang Jile naturally inherited the throne. The concubine Zhen was promoted to the queen mother, and the hussar general was in power.
It stands to reason that everything goes as everyone wishes and it is a happy situation.
But behind the scenery there are often crises hidden, and stories of birds disappearing and bows hidden, rabbits dying and dogs being cooked are always happening.
When Yang Jile became the emperor and wanted to keep his promise, the fake Ling's uncle, the Cavalry General, was the biggest obstacle.
Not surprisingly, someone found evidence that the Cavalry General was preparing to rebel. It was said that he even had a dragon robe secretly hidden in his home. As a result, he ended up with the tragic end of being executed.
As the empress dowager's concubine, Yang Jile still wanted to fulfill the filial piety a son should have, but put her under house arrest in order to gain moral support.
Because the forces behind the Queen Mother have been pulled out, there is no need to kill them all if there is no threat.
The new emperor grew up in the Dawu Dynasty and suffered a lot. He only had hatred for his half-brothers and had no affection at all.
Worried about someone usurping power, the new emperor massacred many princes.
The deposed prince Yang Jimin, who was hiding in the minister's house, was in a precarious situation.
Baixianzhuang was originally attached to Concubine Zhen, but the sudden change left everyone confused. Yan Yifan was usually generous, and many people in the harem had benefited from him. Only then did he have the opportunity to secretly meet Concubine Zhen and learn about it. The truth of the matter.
After much thought, Yan Yifan decided to put all his wealth and life on the deposed prince Yang Jimin.
When Yang Jimin was the prince, he won the support of many ministers and had a certain foundation.
In addition, he is the biological son of the empress of the palace, so he has legal legitimacy.
I don’t know if someone tipped off or the new emperor was wary of Baixian Village and suddenly sent officers and soldiers to clear it out.
Fortunately, someone tipped off the news, and everyone in Baixianzhuang fled in a hurry with Yang Jimin, first going to Girl Mountain to avoid the limelight.
The new emperor was angry that he couldn't catch anyone. He sent people to burn down Baixian Village and ordered officers and soldiers to follow them all the way in an attempt to encircle and suppress them in Girl Mountain.
This led to the crisis scene seen later when Gu Shengchao arrived.
