Cheng Yin replied, "Just an hour ago, Prince Rong had already arrived at the foot of Liangshan Mountain, but because there was no emperor's will, he was stopped by Ji Siyin with a team of soldiers and horses. When I entered the palace, I informed the emperor that it was Prince Rong who held a last emperor's edict, so I asked the emperor to grant him permission to enter the palace and present his widow."
"Wrath? When did the previous emperor leave a will?" Emperor Qi Zhen was suspicious and asked the city Yin, "What is written on the edict?"
"King Rong didn't say it." Cheng Yin continued, "King Rong only said that there is no time to delay. He also asked the emperor to issue an imperial decree to allow him to enter the capital. If the last emperor's edict is false, he is willing to return to the imperial palace immediately."
Emperor Qi Zhen also didn't care why Jingrong had the last emperor's edict, so he nodded quickly, "You immediately take my order to go, and allow King Rong to enter the capital and enter the palace."
"Yes!"
Cheng Yin did not dare to waste time, so he withdrew from the palace and hurried out of the palace.
only-
Emperor Qi Zhen couldn't figure it out, why would Ji Siyin know in advance when Jingrong entered the capital? An army was also deployed outside the city.
Could it be that the secret decree sent to the imperial palace was discovered
Moreover, according to Ji Siyin's temperament, he is definitely not the kind of person who likes to stir up trouble. Over the years, he has been able to navigate the court with ease, and has never participated in a party dispute in the open, unless this time... is under the control of others.
And that person must be Jing Yi!
In other words, Jing Yi knew about the secret order, so he asked Ji Siyin to lead his troops to intercept it? To put it another way, Ji Siyin, who never participated in the party fight in the open, was already on Jingyi's side.
Thinking of this, Emperor Qi Zhen was really annoyed. He originally thought that Jing Yi would be able to reassure him by marrying the daughter of the Ji family, but where did he think that Jing Yi was not only impatient, but also an insatiable greedy person.
Why!
Emperor Qi Zhen's eyes deepened...
Meanwhile on the other side.
The people Ji Li sent to Prince Yi's Mansion had already reported everything to Jing Yi about what happened at the foot of Liangshan Mountain.
"The emperor's last edict?" Jing Yi was confused, but came over after a while, "I didn't expect it to be planted in the place of Lord Kang."
When Douquan heard this, he didn't know, "What's the relationship with Lord Kang?"
"If this king guessed correctly, the former emperor's edict should have been in the hands of Lord Kang, but for some reason, Lord Kang took out that edict to help Jing Rong return to Beijing, that old fox, this king really underestimated he."
"Could the edict be fake?"
"Impossible, even if Lord Kang dares to confuse the real with the fake, Jing Rong won't do it."
Douquan, "If it's a real will, Ji Siyin can't stop him, then..."
The words did not continue.
Jing Yi was thinking, "What exactly is written on the edict? Make him swear that he can stay in the capital with that edict?"
After a moment of silence, his heart sank, and he ordered the soldier Yin who came to report, "Jingrong must know that Ji Siyin did not send someone to notify the emperor, so he must have secretly sent someone into the palace to ask for an order, you should leave the city now, Be sure to let Ji Siyin... kill him before the emperor's will arrives."
The soldier Yin seemed to be startled, but immediately calmed down, "Yes!"
Go away.
Jing Yi's eyes were full of terrifying slaughter and a desire to inflate power.
Douquan was worried, "Your Highness, if you ordered to be killed, what if something goes wrong?"
He sneered, and the corners of his lips slanted upward, "Even if something really happened, wouldn't he still have Ji Siyin in front of him?"
"Your Highness is wise!"
It is extremely insidious!
Ji Li was forced to become Jing Yi's pawn because of his bad sister, and now he has to become his scapegoat. I wonder if he will be able to divide this sinister and greedy person into five horses when he understands it.
At the foot of Liangshan!
It has been two hours since the dispatch of troops back to Beijing to report, and the two sides are still holding their troops, waiting for an order from the capital.
The two sides even looked at each other secretly.
The soldier Yin who came out of Prince Yi's mansion was very fast, and he really arrived before the emperor's decree.
He brought Jing Yi's order to Ji Li without fail.
Ji Li was shocked!
But there is no turning back now.
With his sword attached, he stepped forward and said to Jingrong, "My lord, it has been two or three hours, and the emperor's will is still in the future. It is conceivable that the emperor will not agree to your entering the capital at all, so the lord should return to the imperial palace immediately. "
Jing Rong is not stupid!
He knew that Ji Li had murderous intentions, and to be more precise, it was Jing Yi who gave the order.
"Ji Siyin is determined not to recognize the last emperor's edict."
"I don't know if the edict is true or not. I don't have the patience to spend it any longer. If the lord insists on not leaving, I can't blame him."
After he finished speaking, he raised his hand, and the Bailai soldier Yin drew his sword in response.
At the same time, Jing Rong's people also pulled out sharp swords.
Just wait for an order.
Jing Rong glanced coldly and asked, "This king will give you one last chance, Ji Siyin, do you want to let it? Or not?"
The two faced off.
I don't know—
"Kill!" Ji Li ordered.
Hundreds of soldiers stepped forward.
The two sides immediately fought together.
At the foot of Liangshan Mountain, blood stained the loess, the breath of death spread, and it was filled with a strong smell of blood.
Tang Si and Moruo also joined the battle.
A bare fist.
A silver whip in hand.
Although the martial arts are excellent, but the opponent has too many people, even if one fights ten, it will be a disadvantage.
Tang Si is a woman after all, and she is not physically strong. Seeing that she will be exhausted by the repeated attacks of many Yin soldiers, Mo Ruo originally wanted to help her, but was trapped by those dense soldiers Yin and could not withdraw.
It was at this time that Wen Xian, who had been observing secretly, jumped out and helped behead a few.
Tang Si finally had time to catch his breath.
"Thank you!"
Wen Xian glanced coldly and continued to kill the enemy.
At this time, Jing Rong grabbed a long sword from Bing Yin's hand and met Ji Li's sword.
The two of them were fighting, no distinction was made.
The long swords in their hands are killing people.
After a while, neither of them had the upper hand.
Suddenly, a sharp arrow came straight at the sword in Ji Li's hand and slammed it away.
The sword fell to the ground.
Immediately, several sharp arrows appeared and shot Ji Li's men to death.
What followed was a roar of hooves, and a few birds in Liangshan also flew away.
"stop!"
A loud voice sounded.
The two men and horses were forced to stop and looked in the direction of the sound of the hoofs and the arrows.
I saw Qin Shiyu leading his men on horseback.
Qin Shiyu dismounted, but because of his leg injury in his early years, he walked a little slowly. When he walked between the two sides, he took out an imperial decree that he had brought, and unfolded it in public, with a serious face, and read out, "The emperor has an order, and Prince Rong holds the first decree. The imperial edict shall not be blocked by the rest of the group, and if there is any objection to the edict, the law shall be rectified on the spot, and King Rong shall be ordered to enter the palace immediately with the last edict of the previous emperor, and there shall be no mistake."
complete!
The decree is closed!
The decree came too coincidentally.
Ji Li looked at the corpses all over the ground, and at the imperial decree in Qin Shiyu's hand, he was suspicious, but the person who came forward, Qin Shiyu, who played an important role in the court, naturally could not hold a false imperial decree.
So-
He has to retreat!
