Chapter 460: A single tree is difficult to support (2)
"Light the beacon! Light the beacon!"
Clusters of beacon fired continuously on the corner towers on the top of the city, and the scarlet fires wanted to break through the layers of fog. After the two clashed, they presented a strange and unspeakable picture, like a person born from the fire trying to struggle to tear the sky. Even if they tried their best, they were extremely painful.
The people in the capital were panicked under the beacon fire. Chen Ming and Du Shaoyin rode on horseback on horseback, which was something that would never happen at all. Ordinary people in the capital were absolutely not qualified to ride horses and sprint, and they were killed immediately once they were discovered. However, no one cared about this at this time. They came out of Tianfu Temple and ran away. The purpose of their trip was Chen Qianji's mansion.
Chen Ming immediately acted after listening to Du Shaoyin's narrative, and he didn't even have time to explain. Du Shaoyin could only follow closely and finally found an opportunity to explore along the way.
"Senior brother, do you also think there is something wrong with Chen Qianji?"
"It's hard to say that the first time I saw Chen Qianji, I felt that this person was not a good person. Judging from his subsequent series of performances, he was very cunning. Ke Ran was an official in the same dynasty for many years and had a lot of interactions between the two. His judgment on this person would not be wrong."
"I don't understand here very much. Chen Qianji is a hero who was ordered to save the country in danger. The first two times depended on his brave resistance to save the capital. Why did he become the target of doubt this time?"
"We'll know these when we arrive!"
"Senior Brother!" Du Shaoyin saw Chen Ming running away first, and couldn't help but mutter in his heart, "I always feel that this is Ke Ran's way to eliminate dissidents? Alas, no matter what, we are all seven years of classmates, so I shouldn't have guessed him so maliciously."
The two of them used the horses to greatly shorten the time. They were very anxious when they were on the road, but when they arrived at the door of Chen Mansion, Du Shaoyin hesitated. How should we implement the surveillance plan? You can't knock on the door directly, right?
While Du Shaoyin was still thinking, he saw Chen Ming coming off the horse and knocking on the door knocker. As expected, he just knocked on the door! Du Shaoyin was so scared that he jumped off the horse and rushed over to stop Chen Ming, "Senior Brother, we have to do this secretly. You are not 300 taels of silver here!" But Chen Ming did not listen to Du Shaoyin's words at all, and slapped the copper ring hard. Soon a doorman opened the door of the mansion.
"It's over!" Du Shaoyin thought so at this moment, but Chen Ming opened his mouth and made him even more collapsed.
"Do you dare ask Lord Shen at home?"
"Who are you? What's the matter with my adult?"
"Xia Nai was sent by Jingzhao Yin. The enemy near the city gate has begun to attack.Xia specially came to inform Lord Shen!"
Du Shaoyin now sighed that Chen Ming, a gentleman, had such a deceptive trick under his appearance. He was worried that the boy would not take the bait, so he had to further explain: "If you are worried, we will take the waist card to you!" He then moved his waist and Chen Ming raised his eyes to watch Du Shaoyin's performance.
"No need!" Fortunately, the doorman said it in time to stop it, otherwise Du Shaoyin would really show his fox's tail. He quickly turned around and asked, "Then we can go in and ask to see Lord Shen, right?"
"Sir, he is not at home."
Du Shaoyin and Shen Ming's faces changed at the same time, and Chen Ming took the initiative to ask: "I dare to ask Lord Shen to go."
Where have you gone?"
"I don't know this. If you are fine, I will close the door." Seeing that the doorman was about to close the door, Du Shaoyin raised his hand to stop him and asked further: "So when did Lord Shen leave the mansion?"
"It was about half an hour ago?" The doorman said not very sure. The two people in front of him were even more suspicious. He immediately closed the door of the mansion while Du Shaoyin was hesitating.
"Senior brother?"
"Reality seems to be moving step by step towards the worst direction. Perhaps Ke Ran's concerns are right." Chen Ming jumped onto the horse and said to Du Shaoyin: "Where do you think he will go?"
"I think... it should be the palace?"
"No, he will never go to the palace at this time!" Chen Ming looked up at the southeast. The red clouds over there seemed to be a view of the evening. "What he was going to should be the city gate!"
Yan Keran was wearing armor and preparing to leave the mansion. After walking a few steps, he turned around and saw Yun Xuan's clear eyes.
"The enemy has launched an attack. This is something I have expected. I will go and perform my mission. You can stay in the mansion and wait for me to come back!"
"Be careful! My son and I are waiting for you!"
"I will definitely come back safely. We haven't even thought about my son's name. When I come back, I will definitely give him the most suitable name!"
Yan Keran showed a smile in his heart. The battle had begun. He had to use a smile to soothe Yun Xuan's panicked heart. He didn't want her to be afraid because of him. He had to give her enough safety and hope. Yan Keran stepped forward and hugged Yun Xuan tightly, used her body to warm Yun Xuan's gradually cold body, and finally kissed her affectionately.
Yun Xuan looked at Yan Keran's back as she was gone, and slowly retreated in her eyes, and then ordered to the maid beside her: "Call the servants from all the mansion immediately!"
When Yan Keran left the mansion, he happened to meet Jiang Weizhen who was rushing over. Before he could speak, Yan Keran ordered: "The enemy has started to attack the city, I must go to the imperial city! I have a task to you, and I will feel at ease if I handed this task to you!"
"Just give me the order!" Jiang Weizhen never delayed his work at critical moments.
"I want you to guard the mansion!" Yan Keran pointed to the mansion behind him and said, "I want to defend the country, but I also want to protect my family. I am really worried about Yunxuan. Now the princess is in the mansion, and the safety here is fully handed over to you!"
Jiang Weizhen agreed without any hesitation. Yan Keran yelled at the Imperial Guards who had already been arranged outside the mansion: "After I leave, the command here will be handed over to the Jiang Duwei!"
When Jiang Weizhen heard this official position, he couldn't help but look at Yan Keran. The Duwei was a great official position among military generals. Although he had not yet reached the position that must be nominated by the emperor, the Duwei must be approved by the Ministry of War before he could be appointed. However, he would never be so casual now, even if Yan Keran was the son-in-law of the current dynasty.
"Your duty is to guard this mansion, and the princess will be in the mansion. If she has any mistakes, the military law will be taken into consideration!" Yan Keran took a last look at Jiang Weizhen and turned her head toward the imperial city.
On the way toward the imperial city, Yan Keran had already ordered people to go to the city gate to investigate the war situation.
Shi took out military talismans to mobilize all the imperial guards, surrounded the imperial city and prepared for defense, and rushed directly into the palace to meet the emperor.
"I will bow to the Emperor!"
"Don't be silly, tell me what's going on outside!"
Yan Keran looked at Emperor Liang's anxiety, and had to reorganize the words he had to say, and then said: "The battle report of the God Killing the Cavs should be on the way to deliver it. The last general believes that for the future of the country, he also asked the emperor to ask the queen to take the prince to the other palace first!"
"You are considerate and I think so too! The queen is already in the harem, and is currently protected by Chen Yuanzhen's imperial guards. Come and announce my order to let the queen take the prince to move to another palace!"
"Emperor, the Imperial Guards have surrounded the palace. They serve as guardians of the outer city, and there are imperial guards in the imperial city, which is safe for the time being. Let's go to Zhengyang Gate to supervise the battle!"
Yan Keran was about to leave the Mingyuan Palace and happened to meet the battle report of the God Killing Cavalry, so the originally stepped away leg was retracted.
"Report to the Emperor! The battle at Jinchuan Gate started first, and the enemy then set fire to Jinchuan Gate in the night and fog. At present, General Dan Tai is organizing an army to fight back!"
"The beacon has been lit. What is the specific situation of the battle?"
"The enemy is numerous, and the pressure on the guards of Jinchuan Gate is very huge for a time, but General Tan Tai please rest assured that as long as he is here, you will definitely be able to protect the capital!"
Emperor Liang began to frown when he heard this. He looked back and asked the messenger to retreat and looked at Yan Keran, saying, "Dan Tai Wengu is an exaggeration after all, I am not very relieved of him, and I still believe in you."
"The last general will just follow the emperor's will!"
"I want you to go to the front line immediately to see the battle situation, and pay attention to the movements of the Mo Army and the Western Liang Army!"
"I will obey the order!"
When Yan Keran quickly flew out of the imperial city, he looked back at the magnificent imperial city. The originally magnificent palace was dull at this time. The faint golden light had been suppressed by the black ink color. Apart from the three halls, the harems were completely invisible.
"Oh my God, please continue to bless Daliang this time!" Yan Keran couldn't help but pray in his heart. This was something that had never happened in the last two times. He always believed that things were done by man, and whether the capital could be preserved depends on military strength. However, this time he felt that he was not willing to do anything. Perhaps people often put all their hopes on those gods and Buddhas when they were powerless.
As soon as Yan Keran left the imperial city, a shadow flew out from the street on one side and followed him closely. The shadow was very fast, just a little slower than the war horse under Yan Keran's crotch. He was not too far behind for a while. But looking at Yan Keran, he seemed not to notice the shadow that had been following him, and all his attention was on the front line.
On the front line, what is the situation on the front line? Dan Tai Wengu is too much, and his ability is doubtful. What if he fails to hold on to the Jinchuan Gate? The Mo Army and the Xiliang Army have not yet taken action at this time. Are they waiting for something? What is the situation with Shen Qianji? Did Du Shaoyin follow his advice?
