"Han Bin now controls the entire palace." Xie You said, "The inner city was closed and put under full martial law. There was no morning court today, and there was no notification. The Heijia Army has all withdrawn from the city according to your Highness's order, 50,000 people. They're all in the outer city now."
Yao Fu said: "The fifth princess has left the city for Huaiyin, and summoned her subordinates to bring troops over. It is estimated that there will be 20,000 reinforcements."
When Duan Ling was asleep, Jiangzhou City had changed overnight. After Han Bin led his army into the city, he encountered little resistance from the Black Armored Army. He easily occupied the inner city and took almost all the hostages. The princes, queen mothers and civil and military officials who have not yet been enthroned have all fallen into the hands of Han Bin.
This is exactly what Li Yanqiu wanted-until Xie You and Yao Fu were brought into the small courtyard, they knew that all this was a layout carefully arranged by the uncle and nephew, and the tension between the two finally loosened. At the same time, knowing that the Li family was wary of everyone, even if it was not confirmed at the last minute that they had nothing to do with Mu Kuangda, Li Yanqiu never really believed them.
"It doesn't matter." Li Yanqiu said, "Han Bin is seeking his own death. Let's hand over the prince and the queen to him. When I reappear, Mu Jinzhi will not be able to laugh. Yao Fu, what is your army? When is it time?"
"You can arrive in three days." Yao replied, "What are you doing now?"
"Wait." Li Yanqiu said, "until Han Bin announces to the world and exposes that guy's identity."
"And then?" Xie You asked.
"Let's fight a war." Li Yanqiu said, "The south has not had a war for many years, and the war is your business. It is okay for me and the prince to stand in front of you, and it is free to go up to the ground with a knife and a gun in person. ."
When Duan Ling looked at Xie You's expression again, there were four big characters written on his face, "It's just a nonsense." From another angle, Xie You, Yao Fu, and even the officials and officials were all played around by Li Yanqiu. It's hard to know that Li Yanqiu is still alive, but he has not shown his face.
Yao Fu seemed to have gotten used to it, and said, "This minister will make arrangements."
"You cooperate with Xie You and prepare for the battle at any time." Li Yanqiu said, "What do you think of the emperor?"
Duan Ling said: "I have to look at Jiangzhou's defense map before deciding."
Li Yanqiu naturally followed Duan Ling's wishes, and it seemed that he wanted to give him all the command to solve the coup d'etat. Today, the owner of the noodle restaurant was locked up in the inner city, and no one came to deliver the food. People in the outer city were panicked, and the chaotic voices of people could be heard standing in the courtyard.
Xie You has mobilized the army to drive here, and let the Heijia Army temporarily camp to observe the situation. The name is to control the outer city's main roads, but in fact it is to concentrate the military to protect Li Yanqiu. This is also what Li Yanqiu didn't want to face the most. He was planning to disguise himself and go out with Duan Ling for a walk, but Xie You mobilized the black armored army and surrounded the courtyard.
Zheng Yan also came out with Yao Fu, Lang Junxia didn't know where he was going, and Lord Changliu was still in the Mufu. Although the inner city was closed now, it was hard for the assassins who came and went freely.
Duan Ling asked Zheng Yan to go into the inner city, and informed Lord Changliu to bring Muqing out to gather. After this time, Muqing had nothing to do with the Mu family. As for how to tell Muqing the truth, it was up to Lord Changliu.
Xie You and Duan Ling came to the front yard, Xie You spread out the map of Jiangzhou, and now the North Army led by Han Bin has occupied all the main roads in the city and set up many lines of defense.
"The sixteen gates of the inner city have been repaired many times." Xie You said, "It is difficult to open it easily. Jiangzhou is a strategic city of the three dynasties, and it is a strategic city of the three dynasties. Hundreds of years ago, the city wall of Jiangzhou city was built by Han Canghai. It is extremely difficult to capture the copper wall and the iron wall. Since Your Highness has let us withdraw from Jiangzhou City, there must be a way to break in again."
"I have nothing to do." Duan Ling smiled, "But General Xie has been in charge of Jiangzhou for nearly 20 years, so how could he leave a line of defense that he could not break through? of."
Xie You looked at Duan Ling with a smile in his eyes.
"There are indeed four waterways that can enter the city." Xie You said.
Duan Ling expected that it was not bad. Xie You has been controlling the city. No one is more familiar with the city's terrain, dark passages and streets than the Black Armored Army. If it really wants to fight, Zhengbei Army is not Xie You's opponent at all. He had foreseen this result when he asked Xie You to withdraw from the city, so he was not worried.
"The waterways are here, here, and these two places." Xie You pointed to the dotted lines on the map, and the dotted lines pointed to the center of the inner city and to the outside of the palace, and said, "But once we start to attack the palace, Han Bin will definitely be vigilant, and the imperial court will be wary. The officials are all in his hands, and they are afraid of becoming hostages."
"Don't worry about this." Duan Ling said, "I and the Wu Independence Association led another team to rescue the officials."
Said Bi Duanling looked up at Wu Du, Wu Du said: "The water used in the palace comes from those wells. If you really want to deal with them, you don't need to be so troublesome."
"Beware of poisoning all the civil and military officials." Xie You said.
Wu Du smiled lazily and did not answer. Duan Ling looked at the map seriously and said, "If you agree on a time, can you pass the interrogation and come in smoothly?"
"The entire attack time will take an hour at the earliest." Xie You replied, "If Your Highness makes arrangements in advance, it should be feasible."
"You still want to go in?" Xie You frowned.
Duan Ling was thinking, but Xie You said, "This is too dangerous."
"I have to stand in front of them." Duan Ling said, "I can't hide behind you."
This will be the moment he will finally face after walking for so long. He can't wait until Xie You captures the palace and shows himself under the protection of Li Yanqiu.
"Han Bin doesn't know my identity yet." Duan Ling said, "Cai Yan knows, but he doesn't dare to say it."
"Not necessarily." Xie You said, "If he sells you and Han Bin detains you again, you will be in trouble. At this time, there is no room for mistakes."
"Let's talk about it." Duan Ling replied, "Let me think about it."
This day was actually calm, the inner city was under martial law, and nothing happened. Xie You sent soldiers of the Black Armored Army, disguised as ordinary people, and sneaked into the city to inquire about news. The news was that Han Bin did not notify the courtiers to enter the palace, but only sent soldiers to control the cabinet and the six ministries respectively.
In the evening, Zheng Yan came back with Changliu Jun and the pale Lang Junxia.
As soon as Lang Junxia entered the front yard, he stumbled and almost fell to the ground. Duan Ling asked, "What's going on?"
Lang Junxia was injured and leaned on the couch. Wu Du helped him diagnose his pulse and said, "I was shot by an arrow."
Lord Changliu said, "Muqing was taken to the palace."
"Where's the shepherd?" Duan Ling asked again.
"Not yet dead, but alive again." Changliu Jun replied, "The East Palace is under martial law, and the prince is under house arrest. We want to go in and bring Muqing out, and meet Wuluohoumu."
"Didn't I ask you to come back and gather? What are you going to do in the palace again?" Duan Ling frowned.
Lang Junxia was lying on the couch and did not speak. Wu Du gave him medicine. Fortunately, the injury was not serious, and he could recover slowly after a night of rest.
Duan Ling sometimes really wanted to beat Lang Junxia, but Lang Junxia smiled.
That night, Duan Ling pondered under the moon, Wu Du went to coordinate with the Black Armored Army to march into the military, and then Xie You would send Wu Du's team and let him take him to control the situation in the palace. When he returned to the front yard in his armor, Duan Ling still hadn't slept.
"Han Bin still lacks evidence." Duan Ling said, "So it took a long time to gather all the officials to interrogate Cai Yan. Maybe he was stopped by Mu Kuangda."
"What do you want?" Wu Du took off his helmet and sat opposite Duan Ling.
"I want to send this to Han Bin." Duan Ling took out Cai Yan's test paper and motioned to Wu Du.
"They have already begun to doubt you." Wu Du said, "After Mu Kuangda was stabbed, you didn't show up for a long time. I always felt that Han Bin's eyes were a little wrong that night, and most of them found that I and Changliu-Jun were not serious. , leaving Ulohum."
Logically, Wu Du and Chang Liujun joined forces, so they shouldn't be able to catch Lang Junxia, but they didn't even touch the edge of his clothes that night, so they let him escape. Han Bin may not figure it out for a while, but after thinking about it carefully, he will definitely feel that there is a problem.
If this is the case, Duan Ling should not go to see Mu Kuangda again, otherwise it will only lead to unnecessary danger.
"Then he has no evidence." Duan Ling said, "unless they force it, but I'm afraid it will be difficult to convince the officials, and Qian Qi is still dead."
With Qian Qi's death, Duan Ling wanted to know who did it. Don't ask, it must be Lang Junxia again.
After all, an old man can only serve as a witness, and the key person already knows the inside story, and then let him identify in front of the courtiers, Cai Yan will have a plan, but will have a countermeasure. Lang Junxia killed Qian Qi with his own hands.
Now the situation in the East Palace must be in a stalemate, and we must try to break this stalemate, and the evidence is in his own hands.
"It is also possible to send someone to send it in." Wu Du said.
"Who to send?" Duan Ling said, "Whoever sends it will make Mu Kuangda suspicious."
"I'll find a way tomorrow." Wu Du replied, "Don't worry, just sleep."
Duan Ling slept very restlessly all night, tossing and turning. When the sun rose again the next day, Li Yanqiu hadn't woken up yet. He obviously preferred this leisurely life, and he didn't worry about what was about to happen.
But this will be the last battle between Duan Ling and Cai Yan. Duan Ling knows in his heart that he has a lot to say to Cai Yan, and these words must not be used under the guise of others.
When Ling just woke up in the early morning and Wu Du was still lying down, someone knocked on the door outside.
"Emperor." Li Yanqiu's voice said, "Listen to Xie You, someone came to you."
Duan Ling got up in a hurry and yawned. Li Yanqiu motioned him to go to the temporary office of the Black Armored Army outside the city. Someone was waiting. Duan Ling thought to himself that someone in the inner city ran out
