A man walked out next to the prince and slowly saw through the firelight Yang Hongzhao saw clearly that it was his old acquaintance, Tong Guan.

"General Tong!" he exclaimed, and instantly understood the general idea of ​​what happened.

Tong Guan smiled: "Why should General Yang be surprised? You want to survive, and I want to survive too. The paths we choose are the same, right?"

Yang Hongzhao stopped talking and silently looked at the army with complete armor behind him, fully understanding what was going on.

"How did you mobilize them?" Yang Hongzhao asked curiously.

"Brothers, I have long since wanted to work hard for the dog emperor." Tong Guan said casually, then looked at him: "General Yang, just ask your people to go out and call them in, just stay with me and the prince."

"You! Could it be that you don't believe me!" Yang Hongzhao said loudly, posing in anger.

The prince also interrupted: "If it's only a hundred steps, let him go out and call someone."

Tong Guan shook his head, "General Yang, it's not that I'm worried about you. King Jin in the Battle of the South was your subordinate. Before leaving, the King of Jin had asked you to discuss it separately. How can you let me feel at ease?"

"Although the King of Jin in the south was my subordinate, he was not under my control. Before the Northern Expedition, he was the envoy of Guanbei and Zhuoyuan, providing food and grass for our army, so we naturally have to talk about it." Yang Hongzhao said loudly.

"Okay, OK!" The prince said impatiently, pulling out the sword from his waist and throwing it to Yang Hongzhao. "Wait until later, you will be responsible for killing the evil seed of Li Xingzhou, and that's all." The prince smiled proudly after saying that, as if he had made a clever arrangement.

The moment he received the sword, Yang Hongzhao suddenly leaned over and stabbed the prince in his hand.

Bang!

In the darkness, Mars flashed by, and in the lightning, the Tong Guan next to him was quick and drew his sword to block it. However, Yang Hongzhao's momentum was so powerful that he was simple and fierce. After the sword was deviated, he still dripped across the prince's shoulder. The prince staggered back a few steps and screamed in pain.

Without saying a word, Yang Hongzhao turned his horse's head and ran west along the road where the inner and outer cities would be the last.

Tong Guan didn't ride a horse and couldn't catch up, but he still roared and asked the soldiers to shoot arrows. When the soldiers hurried up and fired their bows, the horse he was under his straddle had already rushed for dozens of steps, hidden in the shadow of the city wall.

In the darkness, Yang Hongzhao kept hearing arrows roaring past him, but his nerves were tense and he kept running forward.

Soon, the sound of horse hooves slowly came from behind, and it was getting closer and closer, and it was a pursuit soldier!

The little mare under his crotch could not escape the war horses in the army. The pursuers behind him were getting closer and closer. If they were caught up, they would have a dead end!

Yang Hongzhao kept slapping the horse's belly, and the little mare tried his best, but the sound of horse hooves behind him was getting closer and closer. On the dark and empty imperial city avenue, he was almost desperate.

At this moment, some light suddenly appeared in the distance. Yang Hongzhao rushed towards the other side desperately. The fire became closer and closer. He slowly saw that it was more than a dozen Wudeshi soldiers lit torches. The person riding a horse in front seemed to be Wudeshi Ji Chunsheng!

With the hope in his heart ignited, Yang Hongzhao quickly shouted: "Prince, Tong Guan rebelled, the army has arrived in the east of the city, King Jin runs away!"

"Crown Prince, Tong Guan rebelled, the army has arrived in the east of the city, King Jin runs away!"

He shouted twice, and the people on the other side were all attracted by him. Ji Chunsheng rode a horse and carried a gun, and suddenly rushed towards him through twenty steps.

In just twenty steps, in the blink of an eye, Yang Hongzhao was stunned and had already passed by him. He turned slightly and saw the pursuers behind him being picked up by Ji Chunsheng who was galloping at high speed. The body rolled forward on the ground several times before stopping.

Then he pulled the horse and turned around halfway, and stabbed the other person who was caught off guard, but this time he just stabbed the shoulder.

"Catch him!"

The soldiers of Wudeshi rushed forward and suppressed the second pursuer who was stabbed off the horse. In fact, this man was already in a dilemma and could not move at all.

Yang Hongzhao sighed in his heart that a good general was worthy of being the first general of Prince Xiao and the number one general. He was a person with half of his body to fight, but he was also very capable, but he had never seen such neat skills as Ji Chunsheng.

"Mr. Yang, what did you just say?" Ji Chunsheng hurriedly came over.

"The prince rebelled, and the imperial guards have entered the city. Take the King of Jin away!" Yang Hongzhao said hurriedly.

Ji Chunsheng was anxious when he heard the news. He asked, "How many troops are there in the rebels?" while handing over the waist card to his personal soldiers, asking him and others to transfer the defenders of Xi'an Gate and Baihu Gate to Xuanwu Gate.

Then he hurriedly took him to escort the alive pursuer and rushed to the inner city.

Yang Hongzhao was also very anxious. His original intention was not like this. He just wanted to kill the swearing officer, but he did not want to harm the King of Jin. Like Xue Fang, Wang Yue and many colleagues who spoke for him could not suffer such unforgiving disasters.

...........

The prince covered his shoulder and cursed, and tears flowed down his eyes. Tong Guan hurriedly checked him for a while, and then said, "It's okay, it's just a skin trauma."

"Skin trauma hurts so much!" the prince said angrily.

Tong Guan didn't say anything, and looked at him coldly: "Your Highness, don't you thank me for saving my life?" This fool actually handed the sword to Yang Hongzhao when he was not even separated from me. If he hadn't been prepared and quick attack, the sword would not have scratched it, but pierced his heart at once, and even nine lives would have been unable to survive.

The prince snorted, without agreeing, and said, "I didn't expect that Yang Hongzhao is also a person of the evil race! I will send additional personnel to the royal palace and kill me and don't leave a living person!"

Tong Guan retorted, "Your Highness, there are some priorities and urgent matters. Now that you are attacking the palace and forcing the emperor to abdicate, it is the right way to kill anyone you want. When you become an emperor, you can kill anyone you want. In addition, you will bring more than 3,000 people to enter the city from the east gate and divide a thousand troops to attack the Jin royal palace. It is completely enough. At this time, the royal palace should have no longer had a living."

The prince showed a look of relieving his hatred and gritted his teeth: "When I kill in, I will definitely destroy the inoculation! And Yang Hongzhao, a traitorous villain!"

Tong Guan glanced at him, turned around and began to order the army to approach Qinglong Gate. The emperor and the officials were in the Imperial Garden. The news was accurate, and to go to the Imperial Garden, you must enter Xuanwu Gate.

The aisle between the inside and outside ministers in the palace is spacious, but after entering the inner city, the passage becomes narrower. At this time, it is necessary to divide troops to guard various passes, making command more difficult.

So the boy crown simply ordered that anyone who saw the government could be killed! The prince would never hold him accountable. Since the future emperors had spoken, they would no longer have any burden of thinking.

The imperial guards, who had been deducted military pay for many years, had long been full of resentment towards the imperial court. After this order, the morale of the army was greatly boosted and the morale was boosted. They rushed from various corridors to the Xuanwu Gate in the northwest.

.........

The fire that soared into the sky was jumping under the dark sky, and the crowd slowly became turbulent.

"What's going on?" The emperor stood up, and everyone quickly made way. He walked a few steps forward and said, "Wei Li, go and take a look."

"Yes!" Wei Li was about to go out, but Li Xingzhou stepped forward to stop him: "No need to watch, take the emperor away."

"What?" Wei Li couldn't react a little.

Li Xingzhou looked at it and said, "There must be something wrong. Let's gather the guards at the right time and take the emperor away."

The emperor looked at him, and his face suddenly looked ugly: "You mean..."

"I don't know, but I'm not afraid of ten thousand, but I'm afraid of what if! I've been marching and fighting all year round, and I still have common sense. The brightness in the east, if it's a torch, there are at least a thousand people!" Li Xingzhou said very heavily, but many ministers had slowly understood what he meant, and his face was pale and his whole body was trembling.

The emperor glanced at him and then said, "Wei Li, go quickly! Do what the King of Jin said!"

Wei Li also knew that something was wrong, so he hurried to the Xuanwu Gate martial arts field in the rear to assemble the Shizhi personal army.

However, no matter how powerful the Shangzhi personal army is, there are only a few hundred people. Li Xingzhou is not in a position. Many ministers are already in a state of distraction and whisper.

At this moment, there were loud shouts of killing from the east, mixed with screams, and the fire became even more intense. Now the imperial garden was completely in chaos. Some older ones even fainted from anxiety, and some were so scared that they wanted to run out, but they were in a hurry again.

"Stay calm! What are you afraid of!" The emperor shouted, and as soon as these words came out, everyone calmed down.

"Where is Ji Chunsheng?" the emperor asked.

Li Xingzhou stepped forward: "Uncle Ji found that something was wrong before, so he told him to take a look." Naturally, he would not say that he suspected the prince, so it would be impossible to say this.

The emperor nodded. At this moment, the sound of horse hooves came from outside the wall. Soon Ji Chunsheng was wearing military uniform and strode in. There were still large bloodshots on his body, but it was obviously not his, but it was splattered on it.

All the officials were shocked and the emperor asked, "What's wrong."

"Emperor! The prince, Tong Guan, joined forces to plot against the rebellion, led the imperial guards into the city, and had already broken through Donghua Gate and Qinglong Gate, and was coming towards Xuanwu Gate!" Ji Chunsheng knelt on one knee in front of the emperor and finished speaking in a hurry.

As soon as these words came out, the entire imperial garden exploded instantly, and most people were indifferent.

The emperor's face turned red, his forehead was bulging, his arms were trembling, and he said furiously: "Brave! Brutal son!"

"Emperor, the last general has gathered the six gate guards and gathered more than 500 people to set up defenses outside Xuanwu Gate, which can resist for a while. However, according to Lord Yang Hongzhao, the rebels have at least more than a thousand men, or even more, and have controlled all the important roads outside Xuanwu Gate. The defenders of Donghua Gate and Qinglong Gate are afraid of the dangers......"

"Yang Hongzhao?" the emperor frowned.

Ji Chunsheng hurriedly asked someone to bring Yang Hongzhao in. Yang Hongzhao was also very embarrassed at this time, with his hair and beard scattered and his face disheveled. "The criminal has seen the emperor." He bowed.

"Why are you in the palace?" the emperor said coldly.

Yang Hongzhao was immediately stopped and Li Xingzhou was thinking about it. He immediately reacted and stepped forward and bowed, "Your Majesty, I asked him to come in. I wanted to continue to ask Lord Yang to apologize tonight. He has no contribution to my royal family and has worked hard."

The emperor nodded after perfectly completing the past.

Yang Hongzhao gave him a grateful look, and then said anxiously: "The prince, Tong Guan gathered a large army at the East Gate. I have a secret message from the old army. I want to inform the emperor in time that when I came in from the East Gate, all the defenders of the East Gate had been killed. If General Ji had not rescued him, the criminals would have been almost killed by them!"

The emperor looked at Ji Chunsheng, and Ji Chunsheng nodded to show that what he said was the truth. The emperor's eyes softened, "Thank you for your hard work!"

At this time, the shouts of killing were closer. The Xuanwu Gate on the back of the Imperial Garden had already heard the shouts of killing, and many timid palace maids and eunuchs were frightened and cried.

Li Xingzhou made a quick decision: "Emperor, are there any horses in the palace? I will go out and lead the new army to rescue."

"This is too dangerous!" Degong stopped him.

"Waiting here is also waiting for death." Li Xingzhou shook his head, "There are only four or five hundred troops in the Wude Department. The Shangzhi personal army must be unable to transfer at this time and cannot last long."

Degong stopped talking, and all the officials looked at him, as if a drowning man had grabbed a life-saving straw. Sure enough, Wei Li, who was hit by two arrows, also retreated, and reported in pain that the rebels blocked the intersections outside Xuanwu Gate. He could not go out to mobilize troops at all.

After all, this is not a martial arts world. It is impossible to have any tricks of using melee weapons to block arrows and crossbows. Although Wei Li is known as the number one master in the capital, he is very skilled. As long as the rebels send dozens of crossbowmen to hold the intersection, no matter how powerful the master is, he will become a sieve, let alone in the dark.

The emperor was helpless and grabbed his hand tightly: "Don't win, bring some people!"

"No, the emperor's holy body is the most important thing, how can you take people away!" Someone immediately jumped out to object.

"Yes, yes, the safety of the emperor is the first priority..."

"The emperor thinks twice!"

“……”

Looking at these corrupt scholar ministers, Li Xingzhou didn't understand their thoughts. They were just worried that they would take away more people and that their lives would be lost when the rebels invaded them, but they just wanted to think that the emperor was thinking about it as an excuse.

Ji Chunsheng stood up and said, "I promised the prince to take good care of the little prince, and I went with me."

"I am a criminal minister, and I am the opportunity to make up for my mistakes. I will go with you." Yang Hongzhao also stood on his side.

He Zhao had a dark face: "It is natural for me to die for the king. I will go with you. I will not be able to dance with a sword or a gun, but my life is enough to attract the attention of the rebels."
