The messenger also showed embarrassment: "Concubine Xue Gui is too powerful, she killed the prince's confidant in just one round, and everyone else was scared out of their wits, how dare they go to fight her!"

On the one hand, it is because "Concubine Xue" is too powerful. On the other hand, many people in the rebel army are unwilling to sacrifice their lives for the prince. Some are for money, and some are forced to follow to attack the palace. Who wants to die!

"A bunch of wretches!" Li Hao roared, and with a bang, the messenger was kicked out by him and fell outside the camp. "Are you afraid of even a woman, are you still a man?"

He took the short spear from the hand next to him, and there was still some red on the blade, which was the blood left by Lieutenant General Yu. "Come on, follow me to catch Concubine Xue!"

Li Hao brought people to the front of the battle, and immediately stood under the north gate of the palace with his guns: "Listen, people in the city, immediately send a message to Concubine Xue, saying that I want to compete with her. If she doesn't come out, we will We are going to attack the city!"

The rebels clamored together: "Catch Concubine Xue alive, Qing Jun side!"

The sound shook the world.

When Rong Changan came back from the victory, before he reached the imperial study room, he saw the king standing on the jade steps outside the door of the imperial study room, holding on to the white jade railing and looking out. Seeing "Concubine Xue Gui", his sad face immediately stretched out:

"It's Concubine Xue, it's her! She's back after winning the battle!"

The eunuch next to him also said happily: "It's Concubine Xue, it's her! She's safe and sound!"

With the support of the eunuch, the king rushed to meet Rong Changan. Rong Changan hurriedly saluted the king:

"Xue'er is in military uniform, so she can't make big salutes. I hope the king will forgive me!"

The king stared curiously at Rong Changan up and down, alas, he didn't get hurt at all! The nearby military academy couldn't wait to report to the king:

"Your Majesty, you didn't see it just now. Concubine Xue killed the leader of the opponent's formation in just one round. The rebels were so frightened that they didn't dare to fight. They ran back to the formation in a swarm, and they didn't dare to come out and shout!"

Telling the scene just now, the military academy was still full of enthusiasm, and his excitement could not be calmed down for a long time.

As a woman, being able to come back from the front of the battle unscathed is already very good, and now she can kill General Qianqi, it is unbelievable! The king's hands were shaking with excitement, his lips were murmured, not knowing what to say.

"This this… "

Rong Changan looked at Yushufang: "But I don't know if the wine I poured out is cold?"

"It was never cold, it was never cold!" the king said all over his mouth, "I touched it just now, and it was still warm! In ancient times, the relevant prince warmed wine and killed Hua Xiong, and now there is Xue Guifei who warmed wine and killed the leader of the rebel army, which is enough to be recorded in history. It is enough to strengthen the military prestige of our guards. No matter how many of them there are, as long as there is a noble concubine, we will not be afraid."

Rong Changan smiled modestly: "In fact, Xue'er just entrusted the king's blessing, how can I, Xue'er, be capable!"

"Report!"

After only a few words, another soldier rushed to report: "Reporting to the king and Concubine Xue, someone outside came to challenge again, and they kept saying that the concubine should fight!"

Just now "Concubine Xue Gui" killed their leader who was scolding, the rebel army was already frightened, and now there are still people who dare to fight, which shows that this person must be a very fierce person. The king couldn't help worrying:

"Grand Concubine, you have already fought one game, how about this one, let Vice General Long go out."

There was a confident smile on the corner of Rong Chang'an's mouth. She had never been afraid of anyone in all these years of fighting with her own soldiers. However, the situation is different now, if there is a slight mistake, the palace may collapse.

"Your Majesty, the initiative is now in our hands. We fight when we want, and we don't fight when we don't want to. Now that we have destroyed their prestige, we will not fight even if they are hoarse. Just order It is enough for the soldiers to guard the gates of the city well."

The king ordered all the gates of the city not to go out to fight, and those who disobeyed the order would be beheaded!

Li Hao yelled outside until night fell, and the palace didn't come to answer him. The three corpses jumped out of anger, wishing they could grow wings, fly into the palace, and swallow the king and Concubine Xue in one gulp.

The soldier next to him was also screaming dry-mouthed. At night, the north wind blew up and poured into the trousers against the ground, chilling his muscles and bones.

"General Li, it's getting late, why don't you go back to your tent and fight tomorrow!"

A pair of big hands stretched out and slapped the other person, bang!

"What do you know!" Li Hao scolded, "The king's reinforcements are trying their best to attack the city outside. If we don't take down the palace as soon as possible, our reinforcements and guards will cooperate with us, and we will be dead! Anyway, before dawn , we must take down the palace!"

The soldier who was beaten covered his face, feeling very wronged: "But we scolded them all day, but they still won't come out, what can we do? If there is a deadly attack, the casualties must be heavy."

Hearing what the soldiers said, Li Hao couldn't help looking into the magnificent palace. At this time, the palace was still brightly lit, but the sound of singing, dancing and orchestra was missing.

"Hmph, Concubine Xue Gui wants to come up with a plan to delay the attack, but I will not let her succeed!" Li Hao's lips curled up with a hint of ferocity, thinking in his stomach: If I can't kill Concubine Xue Gui, how can I become the emperor of Dajing Kingdom in the future!

He hooked his hand and said this to a general beside him. The general understood and retreated to the back of the formation. He found 500 mercenaries and 500 sets of tattered clothes for them to wear:

"After entering the palace, listen to my orders!"

Then Li Hao led the prince's army, drove tens of thousands of people up the ladder, and attacked the palace, including more than five hundred mercenaries.

Rong Chang'an and the king were having dinner in the imperial study, discussing how to deal with it next, when suddenly they saw the north gate blazing into the sky, and the sound of shouts of killing shook the sky.

The king and Rong Changan hurriedly dropped their chopsticks and came to the door. Rong Changan listened attentively, feeling a little weird. Although there was the sound of shouting and killing, there was no clanging of iron weapons. What's going on? Could it be that all the guards guarding the city surrendered? Rong Chang'an'e frowned, her face tensed.

"Go and inquire, what happened?" the king said to the eunuch next to him, his eyes were also extremely worried.

The eunuch dragged his baggy clothes and ran to the north gate. After a while, he came back with a nervous expression:

"It's not good, it's not good!"

The corners of the king's eyes moved, and wrinkles entangled: "What happened?" The king's voice trembled.

The eunuch said: "The rebels drove the people to the city! Now the guards don't dare to use force against the people without the king's order. Please also ask the king to put the overall situation first and order the guards to kill the people who go to the city."

The king felt that the situation was over, sighed, and shook his head: "The people are the foundation of the country. Without the people, there will be no country. Now, if I kill the people for my own life, even if I can stabilize the situation, my conscience will be condemned. Alas. , why not let them go to the city. Order the guards, as long as the people don't do harm with knives, don't hurt the people!"

The eunuch looked embarrassed: "This..." Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at Concubine Xue next to him. Concubine Xue Gui is extremely smart, he believes that Concubine Xue must have tricks.

But Concubine Xue also said: "You don't need to look at it, just follow the king's order! If the king kills the people, even if the king quells the rebellion, the people will not regard him as the king in the future. Without a solid popular support , how can the king's throne sit for a long time?"

As he said that, Rong Changan and the king met their eyes, and the two reached an agreement on how to treat the common people. However, Rong Changan added:

"The city gates must be very chaotic now, I have to go up and have a look!"

After appreciating her demeanor of leading troops, the king has completely convinced "Concubine Xue".

"The guards of the sixteen sects are controlled by the noble concubine! I'll go and see Zixuan to see if she has woken up."

After hearing the king's words, Rong Chang'an felt very heavy in his heart. When the king said this, he already wanted to give up. Before he died, he went to see the person he cared most in his life, because he was afraid that if he waited for a while, he would have no chance.
