The big man is on the run

Chapter 24 Your Majesty Save Me!

Planning means that there will always be changes that you don't expect.

"His Majesty!"

There was a hasty knock on the door in the inner hall, and Liu Yijing stood up with his upper body naked and drew his sword.

The hall was pitch black, and Sister Fu Yu was also awakened.

"what happened?"

"Your Majesty, Zhong Shilang, who is on duty at the Shangshutai, asked the slaves to hurry up and inform His Majesty that the rebel army has reached the gate of Zhangcheng!"

"Whose banner did the rebellious army fight? How many people are there? Infantry or cavalry?"

"do not know!"

Taking a deep breath, Liu Yi began to put on his clothes without caring about scolding the flustered palace servants outside the door.

"Let Habayashi Zhonglang not use Xu, Gongming must have started to organize defenses. Call the minister on duty in the Taige to my side, so as not to be injured by the rebels."

"Here!"

"Don't be afraid." Liu Yi comforted Sister Fu Yu who was dressing him, "The gate of Zhangcheng is on the west side, and the west side is the defense zone of Li Jue and Yang Feng. If Li Jue leads troops into the palace, he must have already broken into the palace by this time. It's coming. Habayashi Wei and Jin Wuwei can't stop it, just like last time."

The two factions of Li Jue and Guo Si took the imperial palace as the boundary, and divided the defense area from east to west. Li Jue and Yang Feng were on the west, and Guo Si, Yang Ding, and Dong Cheng were on the east.

Calculating the time, Zhang Ji's troops from Shan County couldn't catch up, and they also came from the east.

Since they came from the west rather than from both sides, it could only be some accident.

Liu Yi could even guess the reason for this kind of accident.
Sister Fu Yu stepped on the cold jade bricks with bare feet, and while she was putting on armor for the emperor, she asked worriedly: "Is that Yang Feng who wants to rebel?"

Fastening the leather cord of the leather armor on his chest, Liu Yi shook his head and said.

"No, Yang Feng doesn't have the guts, he might have been forced."

"By Li Jue?"

During the questioning, Sister Fu Yu curled up slightly with Kodan on her toes. I don't know if it was because of the cold or nervousness.

"It's also possible that he played it off by himself." Liu Yi looked strange.

"Wait here for my return." Liu Yi hugged Sister Fu Yu by the waist and put her on the bed, "Don't worry, I'll be back soon."

Sister Fu Yu's eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of mist, and the mist became thicker and thicker, and finally turned into a stream of clear water that slipped from her eyes.

That drop of clear water made ripples on the brocade quilt.

She lowered her head, shrunk her body into a ball, covered her face with her hands, and tears fell from between her fingers.

"I really feel sorry for you and hate that I am useless. Wan'er's father can help you lead soldiers to fight in war. My father and I can only read useless books and can't help you at all."

"Give me some time." Liu Yi took a deep breath, supported his sword and promised, "I will never let you worry about it anymore."

He lit a tiny red candle, which was reserved for the final feast a few days later.

"I'll be back before the candle burns out."

"I'm still waiting for you to be my queen."

When he walked out of the palace gate, with his back to everyone, Liu Yi wiped away the tears on his face, and regained his indifferent expression of emotion and anger.

Old man Wang and more than a dozen Habayashiro with helmets and armor were already in place, and the horses were also led by the corridor.

"go!"

Wielding the whip vigorously, the horse neighed, and Liu Yi rushed to Zhangcheng Gate.

"Did you find out what happened?"

The tiger and ben guards on the gate of Zhangcheng had already drawn their hard bows, and only then let them down when they saw that it was the emperor coming from the palace city.

"Your Majesty, the rebellious army under the city is not here to attack the city, you can tell at a glance."

Ju Jun, the captain of Shesheng, had a strange expression on his face, and he stretched out his hand to lead Liu Yi, Wang Yue and others up to the gate tower of Zhangcheng Gate.

The braziers and torches on the city tower had already been lit, illuminating the top of the city as if it were daytime.

Isn't this a living target for the enemy?

Liu Yi took a round wooden shield covered with cowhide from the soldier beside him, and only looked down from the arrow stomping hole after protecting his head and face.

The army below was in a mess, the flags were dragged on the ground, the soldiers had incomplete armor and weapons, and some even came out with only one shoe on.

"Yang Feng's army, but Yang Feng himself is not here, so he can't negotiate, and he doesn't dare to let them into the palace city at all."

The imperial palace is the imperial palace, and Miyagi is Miyagi. In Miyagi, besides the imperial palace, there are government agencies such as Taige, as well as temporary residences of Habayashi Guard and Huben Guard.

Almost at the same time, Xu Huang also went to the top of the city with a big axe. He seemed to have just rushed over from the other side of the palace city.

"Is everything okay in the east?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, there is nothing abnormal in the east, it should be an emergency, not a series of generals."

"That's good."

Liu Yi nodded and suddenly thought of a question.

"Why did Zhong Shilang notify you?"

Xu Huang was startled, and immediately realized, yes, why did Zhong Yao notify?

Zhong Yao was on duty in the pavilion, so it was impossible for him to react so quickly!

Liu Yi's complexion was cloudy and uncertain. If he guessed correctly, it should be Zhong Yao and the others who instigated rebellion, but they got rid of it in the end.

Servant Yang Qi, Huangmen servants Ding Chong and Zhong Yao, Shangshu Zuocheng Luchong, Shangshulang Han Bin, all of them were written down in a small notebook. It is really doubtful that they can turn into the current appearance by instigating rebellion and murder. ability.

"You, shoot an arrow, and shoot to the farthest place where there is no one."

The Huben guard who was pointed out was a little confused, but since the emperor had already ordered it, even if he didn't know why, he could only follow it.

The hard bow was pulled away "creakingly", aimed at the dark night sky at a 45-degree angle, and shot out with one arrow, and finally landed at a position about 100 meters away.

The bed crossbow at the top of the city seems to have a longer range.
"Gongming, let the Baibo army below the city line up behind the city."

Xu Huang understood the meaning of the emperor in seconds. This was to prevent the cavalry from chasing and killing, and the scattered Baibo army under the city was wiped out in one charge.

At the very least, with the cover of the strong bow and crossbow at the top of the city, the infantry of the Baibo army below will not be crushed at once.

Following the command of the city, the chaotic soldiers below began to line up in three scattered columns with their backs against Miyagi, and there were formations of sword and shield soldiers, spear and halberd soldiers, and crossbowmen in front of them.

Before the underground formation was complete, a group of black and rout cavalry was seen approaching in the distance.

"Extinguish all the braziers, and leave one torch every third battlement."

The cavalry of the defeated army did not rush to the formation of the infantry under the city, but came to the opening of Zhangcheng Gate.

"Your Majesty, save me!"

The general in the city beat his horse and shouted, and his voice echoed endlessly along the city wall in the summer night.

"It's General Yang Feng." Xu Huang said very firmly.

"General Yang, what happened? Why did you lead the troops here in the middle of the night."

Yang Feng panicked for a moment, he felt extremely hot, he simply opened his pocket and shouted towards the top of the city.

"Military officials Yang Bo and Song Guo wanted to assassinate Li Jue, but Yang Bo was arrested by Li Jue for taking bribes. He couldn't stand the punishment, so he brought out the assassination. I have no choice but to go to Your Majesty."

Yang Feng's words didn't match the words, maybe because it's hard to talk about many things in public, but Liu Yi understood after all.

The assassination plan planned by Zhong Yao and others accidentally missed due to some erroneous problems, but Zhong Yao did not tell the emperor that Yang Feng also participated in the assassination for a while.

And the most terrible thing is that Yang Feng also contacted both sides, relying on the Baibo army in his hands, he not only negotiated deals with the emperor, but also engaged in assassinations with the gentry.

Now that the information gap has caused Liu Yi to be passive, Yang Feng, who is desperate, regards the emperor as a life-saving straw.

As for whether Yang Fengzhi knows what the emperor knows, then I don't know.

Now that Yang Feng is running at night, it is destined to mean that Li Jue is about to lead his troops here, and Zhong Yao, who has messed up the matter, no longer dares to come to see the emperor in person.

"Your Majesty, I will go to the city to tell you."

"You stay under the city and organize your army."

Liu Yi pressed his sword and said in a cold voice: "Listen to me, I will ensure that you can see the sun tomorrow morning."
