Back to the prosperous Tang Dynasty to be the emperor

Chapter 592: Chaos in the Eastern Capital (5)

"Take down the city gate, go!"

The whole journey went very smoothly. Since he took down the Tongxun Gate, he didn't encounter any resistance along the way, and he reached the Anning Gate smoothly. Then they can go straight into the inner forbidden area. Once Gaozong and Empress Wu are captured, the overall situation will be settled. At this time, Li Xian was so excited that he couldn't control himself. He didn't notice the strange silence around the Anning Gate. He rushed towards the square in front of the Anning Gate, while roaring and issuing general orders, he was full of ambition, and faintly saw the dawn of victory beckoning to him.

"Roar……"

When Li Xian gave the order, a group of soldiers did not dare to neglect, and rushed to the square in front of the gate, but before they could launch the attack on the city, they heard a neat roar, and the three-faced city Countless soldiers suddenly stood up from the front, and immediately, one after another torches were ignited, and rows of gleaming crossbow arrows were aiming at all the people in the city. .

Damn, how could this be?It's over, it's over!Seeing the many officers and soldiers of the Habayashi Army on the top of the city, Li Xian's heart sank to the bottom of the valley, and he froze on the spot at a loss, not knowing how to react for a while.

"on!"

Before Li Xian could react, a roar suddenly sounded from the dark place north of the Anning Gate. Immediately, amidst the sound of orderly and heavy footsteps, a Habayashi army with a strength of more than two thousand suddenly came out of the dark. Chu rushed out and quickly blocked the retreat of Li Xian's troops. With both swords and guns in hand, Li Xian's troops have completely become shackles!

"Hahaha……"

Just when the soldiers of the East Palace were in a state of panic, amidst bursts of triumphant laughter, a general came out from behind the city plate at the gate tower, and it turned out to be General Zuo Yulin Army. Wu Sansi, but saw that he bent down triumphantly, cupped his hands towards Li Xian with a mean smile on his face and said: "Why did His Royal Highness arrive so late, the last general waited so anxiously! "

"Traitors! You help the tyrant to abuse, control the palace ban, and manipulate the government. It is full of evil. This palace has a secret decree to punish thieves. If anyone wins Wu Sansi, he will be named Marquis of Ten Thousand Households in Jin Dynasty and rewarded with thousands of money. Go to the city and kill him!"

Li Xian is not a stupid person, when he came to such a field, how could he not know that his plan had already been exposed, thinking that he was going to die, but he completely let go, and he made up his mind to kill him.

"Lu Yaotian, you will lead your troops to guard the back, and the rest will follow me and rush to the city!"

As soon as Li Xian's words fell, Hu Ben and his general Fang Quan raised their arms and gave the order to fight. It's not that he didn't know that his side was actually on the verge of death, and no matter how hard he struggled, it was basically useless. Li Xian's brother-in-law, others may be able to survive, but he is sure to die, both left and right are dead, if you don't take advantage of this moment when you have soldiers in your hands, how long will you wait?
"Don't move, anyone who dares to move me will kill him!"

Despite Li Xian's headstrong personality, it's good to stay here. Most of the three thousand Eastern Palace soldiers in the field are soldiers that Li Xian has led for many years. With a lot of kindness and righteousness, loyalty is still good, even at this moment. The situation was desperate, but the fighting spirit was not completely lost. Fang Quan gave an order, and all the troops immediately responded to the order. A tragic offensive and defensive battle was about to begin. Chen Xiaotian, who was loyal to guard the lord's posture, suddenly turned on Li Xian's horseback, and with a swing of the horizontal knife in his hand, it was already on Li Xian's neck. With a loud roar, all the soldiers who were about to move were all stupid I froze on the spot.

"Chen Xiaotian, you, you bastard, I have always treated you kindly, why did you betray me?"

Although Li Xian also has some martial arts skills, but after all, it is only average. Under this sudden attack, he couldn't react at all. When he was awake, he had already fallen into Chen Xiaotian's hands, and he was very angry. , regardless of his own situation, he widened his eyes and scolded angrily with embarrassment.

"His Royal Highness, you are joking. You are a good man, how can you follow me to seek rebellion and cause trouble! You all listen and put down your weapons. If not, I will kill this traitor!"

Chen Xiaotian didn't care about Li Xian's anger at all, he smirked, shouted, the horizontal knife in his hand tightened slightly, and it was stuck to Li Xian's neck, although he didn't see blood, but with that posture But obviously not joking.

"Everyone put down their weapons! Those who disobey the order will die!"

Seeing that Li Xian was restrained, all the troops were at a loss, they wanted to resist, but they didn't dare, so they surrendered, but they were worried that their own lives would be lost, and they were hesitating when they saw Zhu Kai's figure. Like a ghost, he ran onto Fang Quan's horse, swung the horizontal knife in his hand, and placed it on his neck, instantly subduing Fang Quan on the spot. At the same time, Chen and Zhu's subordinates also They moved one after another, and controlled several rate generals respectively.

"Ding dong, ding dong..."

Seeing that all the main generals were captured, a group of bewildered soldiers had no fighting spirit to speak of, and dropped their weapons in despondency.

"Hahaha... That's right, why use swords and guns, just say no to anything, come on, take down all these disorderly officials and thieves!"

Seeing that the situation was under control, Wu Sansi laughed triumphantly, and made fun of Li Xian, who had become a prisoner. Then he waved his hand and shouted with pride.

"promise!"

Although the soldiers of the Habayashi Army are not capable of fighting, they are very good at binding people. Generally speaking, they are used to bullying the common people. They are extremely agile in their hands and feet. All the members of the East Palace were tied up and captured, and rushed towards the Xuanwu Gate with pushes, kicks and kicks. Only Li Xian was still held hostage by Chen Xiaotian and others under the city gate.

"Wu Sansi, you will die badly, you treacherous villain, even if I am a ghost, I will not spare you, you bastard, you are not as good as pigs and dogs..."

Although Li Xian had never been tied up, but several big men around him held him down tightly, and his face turned blue with anger. Seeing that all his subordinates had been taken away, he thought to himself that it was inevitable, so he simply ignored him. He cursed loudly.

"Hahaha... It's hard to say whether I will die or not, but His Highness the Crown Prince has nowhere to hide. Come on, invite His Highness the Crown Prince to the Hall of Eternal Life to serve you well."

Wu Sansi is a person who can't do anything, and at the moment when he was proud of the spring breeze, he didn't take Li Xian's threat to heart at all. More than a dozen officers and soldiers of the Habayashi Army rushed forward, dragging Li Xian to the direction of the Hall of Eternal Life with all their hands and feet... "Why is there no news, what is Xue Rengui doing? Really anxious to die It's time!"

In the bedroom of Qianyuan Hall, Gaozong You was like an ant on a hot pot, pacing back and forth in the room extremely anxiously, muttering incessantly, while the confident Empress Wu didn't say anything to persuade him, just kept quiet Sitting upright on the couch with a worried expression, only a barely visible gleam flashed in his eyes from time to time.

"Good news, good news, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, General Wu Sansi has captured all the rebels without bloodshed. All the rebels have been captured alive, and none of them have escaped!"

Just as Gaozong was waiting impatiently, he saw Cheng Denggao, the eunuch in charge of rites, stumbled into the palace, shouting excitedly.

"Oh? Really?"

Wu Sansi has served in the palace for a long time, Gao Zong knew about his ability, how could he not know that his ability is mediocre, it is hard to say that he has amazing ability, when he heard Cheng Denggao's words, Gao Zong Unsurprisingly, he was very surprised, so he looked at Cheng Denggao suspiciously, and asked in disbelief.

"Your Majesty clearly learned that this old slave does not dare to lie to the Emperor. This matter is absolutely true. The crown prince has been taken down and locked up in the Palace of Longevity. General Wu Sansi has already met him outside the palace. His Majesty summoned him to ask about the details. "

Gaozong had doubts, and Cheng Denggao dared not be negligent in the slightest, so he hurriedly explained.

"Okay, hurry up, hurry up!"

Hearing that Cheng Denggao's words didn't look like he was lying, Gaozong's face immediately calmed down, he clapped his hands with excitement, and said loudly, his brows were full of joy that couldn't be concealed...Mao Shi At the end of the day, the sky gradually brightened up. Zhuang Yong, who hadn't closed his eyes all night, didn't feel sleepy at all. He just sat upright behind a few chairs without even moving a little bit, just like a wooden sculpture made of clay. Concentration is as steady as it is, but Luo Tong, who is sitting next to him, looks different. He is also sitting behind a few chairs, but Luo Tong's buttocks seem to have thorns, and he moves back and forth a few times from time to time. Not to mention, his eyes never stopped, he either looked at the window boredly, or glanced at the screen at the door, with a look of unstoppable urgency, but because Zhuang Yong, the master of "Mingdi", could not In front of him, Luo Tong was anxious, but he could only bear it. This patience lasted all night, but Luo Tong was choked up.

"Jing Zhuang is at the helm, the news from the palace has arrived, the crown prince was defeated and captured, and is now being imprisoned in the Palace of Longevity."

Just when Luo Tong was waiting 12 impatiently, the figure in the room flashed, and a man in black appeared in the room like a ghost, but he respectfully bowed to Zhuang Yong who was sitting on the head , reported in a concise manner.

"Ah."

Zhuang Yong was not moved by such shocking news, but just let out a quiet voice, and waved his hands expressionlessly, the man in black nodded knowingly, his figure flashed again, and he was gone. disappeared.

"Ha, that's great. Once the prince falls down, His Highness can return to court. I've been looking forward to the day and night, and finally it's this day!"

As soon as the man in black stepped back, Luo Tongke couldn't hold back anymore, he clapped his hands with great excitement, and cheered recklessly.

"Decree: The various sub-rudders are closely monitoring the changes in the court situation, and there is no order to act without authorization. In addition, send a letter to His Highness immediately, and there must be no mistakes!"

After waiting all night, he finally got the hopeful news. Zhuang Yongzi was also very excited, but he was always happy and angry, and he didn't show his excitement. After taking a deep breath, he issued two orders one after another .

"promise!"

Luo Tong was already exhausted, now that he got the order, he didn't intend to delay any longer, he hastily replied, and disappeared in a flash.
