To the north of the palace, on the wall of Xuanwu Gate, a head sticks out to look at the bottom of the wall.
Sun Cheng's face sank, and he took out an imperial edict from his arms: "The Prince of Huaiyou County in the Ming Dynasty and the emperor's grandson Yunxi, receive the edict to return to the capital and open the city gate!"
The head on the wall shrank back.
There was a moment of silence on the Xuanwu Gate.
Then the iron helmet must have come out, revealing the cheek of a young general.
Zhou Ji stood at the top of the Xuanwu Gate, with the corners of his mouth slightly the same.
What I’m waiting for is your return to Beijing, Zhu Yunxi!
He raised his hand in front of his eyebrows, as if to confirm who was coming from the city.
After a while, the message came: "The general has met the prince. Behind the Xuanwu Gate is the forbidden area of the palace. The prince has been ordered to return to the capital. The general does not dare to stop him, but please invite His Highness to enter the palace."
Unless otherwise ordered, anyone in the palace can only walk on two feet.
Zhu Yunxi looked at the palace behind Xuanwu Gate, which was close to Chi Chi, with a gloomy expression.
He shouted coldly: "Dismount!"
There was silence in front of the city gate, except for the more than a hundred people accompanying them, who dismounted and landed neatly.
On the city wall, Zhou Ji observed for a while and determined that of the more than a hundred people around Zhu Yunxi, only the twenty or so were wearing weapons, and he finally felt relieved.
He shouted towards the city: "Your Majesty, please wait a moment."
"Open the city gate!"
Following the city wall, Zhou Ji's voice came.
The Xuanwu Gate that had been closed slowly opened with a loud noise.
Sun Cheng stood in front of Zhu Yunxi with a weapon, lowered his head and whispered: "Third Master..."
Zhu Yunxi looked at the Xuanwu Gate that had been opened, and behind it was the palace that seemed to be peaceful forever.
He waved his hand: "Go back to the palace!"
More than a hundred people behind him moved in response.
…
"I have said everything I should have said, and you and others should also know it!"
On the wall of Xuanwu Gate, Zhou Ji showed murderous intent as he glanced at the soldiers around him and his subordinates.
"The situation of Your Majesty and the Crown Prince is unknown now, and the country cannot be left without a master for a day. Although the Prince of Huaiyou County has the support of his generals, it is because we will not be able to get ahead!"
"Only the Prince of Guangling County has no generals to help him in the court. As long as it is accomplished today, it will be the day when we will become famous!"
"I can't believe that several more King Kaiping and King Zhongshan will appear among us today!"
"Everyone, please rest assured. Our Zhou family is currently protecting your family and we will never let anything happen to them!"
Zhou Ji, who took the initiative to volunteer for the past few days and was on duty at Xuanwu Gate for days, and also took the opportunity to order the Zhou family members to control his subordinates, glanced at the faces of the hundreds of people in front of him one by one.
He only has so many subordinates among the Imperial Guards.
But throughout the ages, those who have achieved great things have never been famous for their large numbers.
Years ago, when Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin, and the Xuanwu people carried out a coup, they only had a few hundred people around them, but in the end they created the prosperous age of the Tang Dynasty.
Now that he is guarding, he is already prepared.
Zhu Yunxi advanced without any preparation, and although the number of people was different, the opponent only had more than 20 people who could fight.
His passionate words made the officers and soldiers who were still hesitant suddenly feel endless pride and expectation.
It is the pursuit of merit and glory.
"General, Prince Huaiyou has begun to enter the palace!"
At this time, he was observing the soldiers outside Xuanwu Gate on one side, and turned around and shouted to Zhou Ji in a low voice.
Zhou Ji's brows twitched, and Zeng De pulled out the sword from his waist: "Go to the city, and there will be an ambush on both sides of the city gate!"
For a moment, the soldiers on the city wall pressed their feet, quickly got off the city wall, and hid behind the Xuanwu Gate.
Zhou Ji, with a few soldiers, stood upright behind the Xuanwu Gate, looking calmly but excitedly at Zhu Yunxi and others who had entered the city gate.
"Third Master, something is wrong!"
Sun Cheng, who had been protecting Zhu Yunxi, suddenly lowered his head and whispered a reminder.
Zhu Yunxi's eyes suddenly sank and he glanced outside the city gate.
Xuanwumen faces north and south.
At this time, the sun was setting in the west, and the sunlight shining from the west was parallel to the Xuanwu Gate.
This also results in the shadows of objects on the north and south sides of Xuanwu Gate being cast from west to east.
At the moment when Sun Cheng reminded him, Zhu Yunxi clearly saw that outside the Xuanwumen city gate, a round shadow in the west corner moved brightly, and then disappeared toward the west.
He raised his head again and looked at the general of the Imperial Guard who greeted him outside the city gate.
It's Zhou Ji, the son of Jiang Xiahou!
In an instant, Zhu Yunxi finally reacted.
"You arrange it so that the other party doesn't notice..."
Zhu Yunxi made a sound without moving his lips and teeth.
Sun Chengdang, who was beside him, put his hands behind his back and shook them silently a few times.
Everything happened in silence.
Unconsciously, the hundreds of servants of the Tang family who followed Zhu Yunxi had already retracted their hands into their loose sleeves.
Everyone is changing their position silently.
The setting sun outside the Xuanwu Gate is getting closer and closer to everyone.
Zhou Ji, who was standing outside the city gate, had an increasingly bright smile on his face.
"Close the city gate!"
Suddenly, a shout came from nowhere.
The Xuanwu Gate, controlled by a mechanism chain on the city wall, made a loud noise and closed at a speed visible to the naked eye.
However, in Zhou Ji's sight, there was no reaction of Zhu Yunxi and others turning around and trying to escape through the door in a hurry.
Until then, all he had to do was kill Zhu Yunxi from behind and block Zhu Yunxi in the city gate, and then there would be only a one-sided massacre.
However, in his childishness.
With that shout from the city wall.
That damn Prince Huaiyou actually raised his arms and shouted.
"The weather has changed!"
"Rebel mutiny!"
"Kill the enemy!"
"Help!"
Zhu Yunxi roared angrily and pulled out the Yanling Saber from his waist. The energy and blood all over his body spread out, like a mighty general in front of the battle array.
Around him, Sun Cheng and others drew their swords one after another. Several people formed a small formation, and finally more formations formed a large military formation.
"kill!"
"kill!"
"kill!"
During the Ming Dynasty, killings broke out everywhere in the Xuanwu Gate of Yingtian.
Everything happens between messages.
Zhou Ji, who was already confident of winning, had not yet realized how he had been exposed.
Then they saw those who were just ordinary servants, pulling out short knives from their sleeves.
Before he could react, he made a countermeasure.
Zhu Yunxi had already rushed out of Xuanwu Gate with his men.
For a moment, weapons collided behind the Xuanwu Gate, and the sound echoed throughout the sky.
Unprepared for the mistake, Zhou Ji's troops were completely disorganized for a moment.
But all the servants of the Tang family who followed Zhu Yunxi back to Beijing from Fengyang were veterans of the army.
At this time, there were calls for rescue in front of them, and the instructions of the family master behind them, and no one showed mercy.
The sword is ruthless and the moves are deadly.
Looking at the Xuanwu Sect in chaos, Zhou Ji didn't know how to deal with it for a moment.
But Zhu Yunxi was aiming at him.
"kill!"
Zhu Yunxi shouted loudly and led several Yulin guards to kill Zhou Ji.
Zhou Ji saw that Zhu Yunxi, who had been living in the palace all day long and was pampered and pampered, suddenly burst out with such ferocious momentum. If he didn't know that he would become Ren if he didn't succeed today, he would have almost turned around and fled.
"ah!"
Zhou Ji roared angrily, raised the Yanling Sword in his hand high, and led his soldiers to kill Zhu Yunxi without any scruples.
