Li Hongxin sighed: "So, I used a substitute to sacrifice my mother, but the result was counterproductive."
Qi Ning smiled slightly and said: "Actually, I know that if the prince takes action, the target must be the governor's mansion, but I have been wondering about what kind of power the prince has on hand to raid the governor's mansion. After thinking about it, I finally feel that other than bringing in Jin Guan Wei, the prince seems to have no better power available."
"Jin Guanwei is loyal, reliable, and brave and good at fighting. If the king wants to do anything, they are naturally indispensable."
Qi Ning nodded and said: "So I guess that the prince will secretly transfer Jin Guanwei into the city from outside the city. Not only will the manpower be transferred in, but the weapons will also be secretly transported into the city. However, there are guards at the four gates of Chengdu. How can the prince transfer them in? After thinking about it, there seems to be only one possibility, that is, the prince has already bribed the tooth generals guarding the gate, or in other words, among the tooth generals guarding the city, there are already princes. people."
Li Hongxin smiled faintly and picked up the tea cup. The tea had already cooled down, but Li Hongxin still took a sip.
"Although it is not certain who is the most loyal among the four tooth generals guarding the city, Wei Shutong can still tell clearly who has the problem." Qi Ning smiled and said: "Yang Lin let the people from the Yiwei Escort Bureau enter the city. At this time, How can we not make people suspicious?"
"I understand." Li Hongxin is certainly not a fool and has already understood the mystery: "I secretly transferred people into the city from the south gate, but you also secretly transferred people into the city from other gates."
Qi Ning smiled and said: "The prince finally understands. After all, Wei Shutong is the governor of Xichuan, and naturally he still has some people who can fight hard. Since the prince can secretly cross Chencang and secretly transfer people into the city, Master Wei can certainly do the same, as long as Avoiding the eyes and ears of Yang Lin at the south gate, the other three gates are actually quite safe. Before the prince takes action, he will definitely send people to keep an eye on the guards at the four gates and the barracks in the city. If these soldiers and horses make the slightest movement, the prince will definitely not It’s easy to take action, so if the prince wants to take action, of course these troops cannot be moved.”
Li Hongxin nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, I have been keeping an eye on these people, but I really didn't expect that you are also secretly moving people into the city."
Ximen Hengye's expression calmed down at this time.
"Actually, I don't hope that the prince will really take action." Qi Ning sighed: "To be fair, the prince is a veteran general who has been in battle for a long time, and there are very few generals in the empire who can take charge of their own affairs. If the prince can really come to Beijing and help the emperor make plans, Of course it is beneficial and harmless to the empire. In this way, not only will the empire benefit, but the prince himself will be able to spend the rest of his life safely, but it is a pity...!"
Li Hongxin smiled and said: "Duke Protector, my Li family has been in Xichuan for a hundred years. Your Chu country has taken away my Li family's Xichuan. Now you want the Li family to help the Chu country conquer the world with a smile. If the ancestors of the Li family Quanxia Youzhi, how can I face them?"
Qi Ning said: "Everyone has his own ambitions. Once you have made a choice, you will not regret it. Your Majesty has made a choice. Regardless of success or failure, I believe you are already prepared."
Ximen Hengye remained silent until he finally said: "The Lord Protector's every step of the plan really surprised me. It's just that the Lord Protector did one thing wrong, but it was fatal."
"Oh?" Qi Ning said with a smile: "Please give me some advice, Chief Shi."
Ximen Hengye put his hands behind his back, took two steps toward Qining, and said with a smile: "The Protector should not have come tonight. Although I understand that you feel that the overall situation has been decided, and you deliberately want to show it in front of the prince. It's a pity that many smart people in this world are misled by their wisdom." Staring at Qining's eyes, he said: "Sometimes, although there is only one step away from the final victory, if you can't take this step, it can't be considered a victory. .”
"What Ximen Changshi means is that I made a big mistake by coming to see the prince?" Qining asked.
Ximen Hengye nodded and said seriously: "You made a huge mistake, and you will regret it soon."
Ximen Hengye claimed that Qining would regret entering the Prince of Shu's Mansion, and many people in the Governor's Mansion also regretted their actions tonight.
Dai Ling led his men into the Governor's Mansion. Everyone thought they would hit the target with one blow. At dawn, the entire city of Chengdu would be in the hands of Shu King Li Hongxin. Of course, everyone involved in tonight's operation would be the first to contribute. Sir, but who could have imagined that we are now in a desperate situation.
The governor's house was obviously surrounded by officers and soldiers, and Dai Ling chopped off the head of a soldier with one knife, which meant that he could not even abandon his weapons and surrender.
Dai Ling held the knife in his hand and said in a deep voice: "Without the prince, there would be no you. Today is the time for me to repay my kindness to the prince. The governor's office has set a trap. The prince's house must be in danger now. Wealth and honor are in danger." , you follow me back to Prince Shu's Mansion, as long as you can protect Prince Zhou, everyone will be rich and noble." Turning around, he strode towards the back door, looked back, and saw that everyone behind him was also holding a knife in his hand. Hesitating again, he followed Dai Ling.
Dai Ling was full of killing intent, opened the door, and rushed out first. Someone rushed out immediately behind him. When he reached the alley, arrows were shot from the side. Dai Ling and the others waved their swords, and someone rushed out. Shouted: "They're on the roof."
Opposite the back alley was a row of houses, and as expected, figures appeared on the roofs, all carrying arrows. Whenever someone rushed out of the governor's house, the people on the roof would shoot them with arrows without mercy.
Dai Ling said sternly: "Charge to the left." He opened two arrows with his sword and rushed to the alley on the left. He heard continuous screams from behind, and several people had already been hit by arrows and fell to the ground.
He knew that at this point, he would definitely die if he stayed in the Governor's Mansion. The only possible way to survive was to rush out, roaring and shouting: "Come out!" His steps were flying, and he rushed ahead like a giant ape.
There were many officers and soldiers ambushing them. Archers appeared one after another on the roof and struck without mercy. Among the soldiers following Dai Ling, one after another they were hit by arrows and fell down.
The alley was not wide to begin with. Hundreds of people poured into the alley. It was overcrowded and arrows rained down, so there was no need to aim. Although the soldiers tried their best to resist with their swords, there were so many cold arrows that it was impossible to guard against them.
This alley is not long, but in the eyes of Dai Ling and others, every step is extremely difficult, and almost every step someone is killed or injured.
Although Dai Ling opened countless arrows, he was still hit by a few arrows. Fortunately, his vital parts were not injured. Dai Ling was strong and endured the pain. He rushed out of the way and suddenly found a figure blocking the alley. As he expected, if no one intercepted him at the alley, it would be abnormal. He raised the knife in his hand and was about to rush over, but suddenly he found another burst of arrows coming from the opposite side. The attack was fast and fierce, unlike human power. As a result, he vaguely understood the situation over there, and said in shock: "Liannu Chariot!"
At the entrance of the alley, there were two rifle-carts standing side by side, with a dozen officers and soldiers manning the carts. It was an insurmountable chasm.
Dai Ling was born in the military, so of course he knew the power of the crossbow chariot.
Repeating crossbow carts are exquisitely designed and expensive. Even Xichuan officers and soldiers only have a few of them. Dai Ling did not expect that Wei Shutong would send people to use repeating crossbow carts to deal with him. He knew that the other party would do this to destroy his group. The people were driven out and killed.
The powerful arrows fired from the crossbow cart were very powerful. Dai Ling knew that if he rushed forward, he would definitely die. At this time, someone rushed forward from behind. Arrows were raining on the roof. Many soldiers were already frightened and panicked, but they didn't Noticing that Dai Ling had stopped, several people had already passed Dai Ling and rushed out, but they just caught up with the oncoming arrows. The alley was very narrow, and two crossbow vehicles fired arrows at the same time. The range of the arrows shot was very large. It was like a net of arrows coming from the opposite side, and the people who rushed out were hit by arrows and fell to the ground in an instant.
"Liannu Chariot, everyone, be careful!" Dai Ling shouted: "Back off!"
Soldiers naturally know how lethal the continuous ballista vehicle is. As soon as they heard the word "continuous ballista vehicle", many people changed their colors. Those who were running in front dared to continue to rush forward, and turned around one after another. Many of the soldiers who rushed over didn't hear them. They didn't know the situation. Those in front retreated and those behind moved forward. They were huddled together for a while. In addition, the archers on the roof continued to shoot arrows without stopping. There were screams in the streets and alleys. The sound is heard continuously.
"Kill to the roof." Someone in the crowd shouted: "Kill those bastards."
Dai Ling was Li Hongxin's most valued general. Although he had the ability to lead troops, in such a desperate situation, faced with powerful officers and soldiers and subordinates who had lost their position, he could not control the situation at all. He knew that in this situation, Dai Ling could not control the situation. , it won’t take long for the hundreds of people under his command to be harvested by the officers and soldiers like leeks.
At this time, this group of people had no idea of supporting Li Hongxin, and they were struggling desperately just to survive.
Dai Ling held a big sword in his hand, rushed a few steps, jumped up, and stepped on the shoulders of the two soldiers. Before the two soldiers could react, he put a lot of force on his feet, and he jumped up again, heading towards the roof. passed.
When the archers on the roof saw this, several people had already aimed their arrows at Dai Ling. Dai Ling was in the air and slashed away several arrows with his sword. They had already landed on the roof and slashed at an archer. passed.
When the soldiers in the alley saw Dai Ling reaching the roof, they already shouted: "Get on the roof!" When their lives were hanging by a thread, many people cooperated very well. Some people took the initiative to lower themselves, and their companions stood on their shoulders. Then they stood up and let them stand. The companions approached the roof. Naturally, not everyone in this group of soldiers was as strong in martial arts as Dai Ling. They could only use their own methods to reach the roof.
Dai Ling reached the roof and slashed at the archers continuously, temporarily disrupting the formation of the archers on the roof. At this moment, he heard continuous screams again. He took a condescending look and saw By the time the crossbow carts from both sides of the box were approaching the alley, the crossbows were sharp, and the soldiers of the King of Shu who had become a mess were killed one by one by the crossbow arrows.
