It's early winter in the imperial capital, and the wind is biting.
Inside and outside the city gate, the soldiers from the two sides were in a confrontation.
Time passed bit by bit, and the afterglow fell. Five thousand elites lined up outside the city gate, filled with a strong atmosphere of murder.
After looking at it for a long time, it seemed that I could smell the smell of gravel and blood mixed in the air.
The guards on the city wall were fully armed.
A tall man wearing black armor stood in the middle.
This person is none other than Zhao Ming, the deputy commander of the Imperial Guard!
When Chu Ning was away, he took over the task at the critical moment and became the leader of the Imperial Guard.
He stared straight ahead and shouted in a deep voice:
"Where is Wei Lin, deputy general of the Northwest Army!?"
The deep and powerful voice spread far away in an instant!
A man in red armor took a step forward.
"Ben will be here!"
It was an extremely strong man, who looked to be no more than thirty years old. He had a beard on his face and looked extremely fierce.
Zhao Ming took a deep breath and looked coldly.
Wei Lin is very famous in the Northwest Army, with a rough temper and strong strength! And—it’s a fifth-level warrior who actually fought on the battlefield!
He alone can defeat one against a hundred!
Not to mention the thousands of soldiers behind him who were difficult to deal with at first glance!
Rong Jiu was fully prepared this time!
"According to Yao Chen's law, a deputy general cannot leave the army without His Majesty's orders! Let alone lead troops into the imperial capital! Wei Lin, are you going to rebel!?"
Wei Lin laughed.
"Zhao Ming! It doesn't matter if you are not strong enough. It turns out that your brain is useless! I have already said that this is not a rebellion! It's just that what your Majesty did to the Third Highness was really unreasonable! It also hurt me and other Northwest Army officers. Heart! We are here just to help His Highness the Third and to seek an explanation for ourselves!"
Zhao Ming was about to retort when he suddenly saw a commotion in the crowd opposite.
Then, the vast army of soldiers suddenly separated from the middle!
A man came from behind!
Wearing armor, his face is solemn and majestic!
It's Rong Jiu!
Zhao Ming's heart sank.
As expected, Rong Jiu managed to escape!
After the previous riot at the execution ground, the Imperial Guards were dispatched en masse to search for Rong Jiu's whereabouts throughout the imperial capital.
But until he came, nothing was discovered.
It turns out that Rong Jiu had already taken advantage of the chaos and left the imperial capital!
At this time, the prison clothes and shackles on his body had long disappeared, and he was dressed in a military uniform, bloody and fierce!
"Congratulations on your return, Your Highness!"
Wei Lin took the lead in saluting with clasped fists, and many soldiers behind him immediately followed suit and shouted in unison.
"Congratulations on your return!"
The shouts shook the sky!
Rong Jiu raised her palms and immediately suppressed her voice.
Zhao Ming and other imperial guards were all shocked when they saw this scene.
The fact that Rong Jiu was able to do this despite orders and prohibitions shows his prestige in the military!
No wonder he dared to do this!
Rong Jiu looked at Zhao Ming expressionlessly.
"Zhao Ming, this palace doesn't want to hurt innocent people, so I'll give you a chance - take the initiative to open the city gate! Otherwise, don't blame this palace for being merciless!"
How could Zhao Ming do this!
"Third Highness! You will be despised by the world for committing such a heinous act! I advise you to turn back and give up! Go back with me now and apologize to Your Majesty!"
Rong Jiu sneered.
"This temple has been labeled as 'treasonous and unethical' before. In this case, we might as well live up to this title!"
Zhao Ming felt a little uneasy in his heart.
"I joined the army at the age of fourteen. Over the years, I have fought on the battlefield and killed countless enemies! I have a total of twenty-three scars on my body, all of which are fatal! I have made great contributions to the establishment of the Yaochen Kingdom, but in the end, all I got was a prison uniform and countless charges!"
If he just admits it, how can he be willing to accept it!
Apologize
The person sitting on the dragon throne now has no qualifications to point fingers at him from above!
Zhao Ming said in a deep voice:
"Your Highness! You—"
Before he finished speaking, he saw Rong Jiu raising his hand high!
Then—fall hard!
"The first person to break open the city gate today will be promoted to three levels in a row! A thousand taels of gold!"
The deep and powerful voice spread instantly!
The countless soldiers of the Northwest Army behind him instantly became excited! All raised their arms and shouted!
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
Wei Lin looked up to the sky and laughed:
"Hahahaha! You bastards, didn't you hear what His Highness said? I won't let you go this time! Let me come to this city gate!"
After saying that, Wei Lin rushed out instantly!
When one person moves, a thousand people follow!
Seeing Wei Lin heading straight for the city gate, everyone behind him followed suit!
Rong Jiu suddenly pulled out the simple knife he carried with him!
The swords roared in waves!
The wind howls!
The next moment, he tiptoed and committed suicide himself!
The humiliation and torture I suffered in the imperial capital these days will be repaid today!
Zhao Ming immediately said:
"Fire the arrow!"
The Imperial Guards hiding behind the crenellations of the city wall all drew their bows!
Tsk tsk tsk!
Countless black iron arrows shot through the air!
Rong Jiu has a flexible body and extremely fast speed. He can pass through countless arrow feathers without even being injured!
He has experienced countless battles since he was a child, and has wandered between life and death countless times. This is not enough at the moment!
Zhao Ming and others didn't even see Rong Jiu's movements clearly before he had already arrived in front of the city gate!
Rong Jiu jumped up and planned to confront Zhao Ming directly!
Zhao Ming said sharply:
"Open the city gate defense formation!"
He didn't believe that Rong Jiu could really break in on his own!
However, after waiting for a while, there was still no movement in the city gate profound formation.
"Deputy Commander! Oh no! The city gate array has been damaged and cannot be opened at all!"
A soldier hurried over and said with panic on his face.
Zhao Ming was startled, grabbed his Yi collar, and picked him up:
"What did you say!?"
The City Gate Mysterious Formation is a large formation and has always been inspected and repaired very well. How could it be suddenly damaged
Suddenly, his movements froze.
—It’s Rong Jiu!
They have already made complete preparations!
The two sides were completely at war!
When the city gate was plunged into an anxious battle, the capital was also in chaos.
Although some of the Praetorian Guards were on guard duty, the people's hearts were in chaos.
The streets and alleys were in chaos, almost no one appeared, everyone was hiding in their homes.
After Rong Jin was deposed, I thought that Rong Jiu would be naturally appointed as the new crown prince, but who knew that not only was he not, but he actually started a rebellion!
However, anyone with a discerning eye could see that Rong Jiu must have been prepared long ago, otherwise it would not have been possible to summon the Northwest Army in such a short period of time.
For a moment, everyone couldn't tell clearly whether Emperor Jiawen felt sorry for Rong Jiu first, or whether Rong Jiu took the lead in planning the rebellion.
However, Chu Liuyue had no time to care about this at this time.
Because Mu Qinghe came to her residence in person!
In the room, Chu Liuyue opened her eyes slightly:
"What? Leave now!?"
