Chapter 636 Not Worth It (4000 words)
Jia Er looked up at the person coming.

He was wearing a mask with ghost face and fangs. He was tall and slender, with a handsome and dignified figure. Judging from his gray hair, he should be over fifty years old.

He was dressed only in black, with no armor.Dressing up like this in the shadow of swords, lights and swords, is either stupid, or has great confidence in his own martial arts.

Obviously, he is the latter.

Jia Er asked aloud, "Are you General Ghost Face?"

The man didn't answer Jiaer's words, and didn't even look at him, and walked towards Emperor Qingming.

His pace was leisurely, as if strolling in a garden, which was incompatible with the tension at this moment.

Emperor Qingming has been staring at him since he appeared.

"King Jin?"

Emperor Qingming spoke out first.Only King Jin can have such a demeanor that makes people feel tight in the chest and short of breath.

But he couldn't figure it out, General Ghost Face is King Jin?The King of Jin and the Crown Prince have always been regarded as the same as fire and water, why are they still cooperating now?

Zhao Chengyuan took off the mask on his face, revealing a handsome face like a banished fairy, with a smile on his face, "Brother Huang finally guessed right."

Emperor Qingming's face was gloomy. It's not that he never thought that General Ghost Face was the King of Jin, but during the Northwest War Zhao Chengyuan could not pretend to be in Xiangping Mansion, his legs were all broken, how did he manage to appear in two places at the same time?

Also, when there were rumors of the ghost-faced general in the northwest, he also checked the whereabouts of King Jin. Most of the time he was in Jinzhou, so many officials had seen it, and so had the hidden guards.

The situation in the northwest was changing rapidly, and Emperor Qingming did not believe that Zhao Chengyuan could strategize thousands of miles away.

He has been guarding against Zhao Chengyuan all these years, but in the end he couldn't guard against him!

I can only blame myself for being too soft-hearted, and having to worry about the public opinion, I didn't spend more time on Zhao Chengyuan when he was young!
Emperor Qingming looked at Zhao Chen, then at Zhao Chengyuan, and said sarcastically, "You and the crown prince conspired together, but if you win, which one of you will sit on this dragon chair?"

One of them is the crown prince, and the other is planning with great pains, he doesn't believe that they can willingly make wedding clothes for others!

Human hearts are selfish, not to mention there is Han Youning between them.He didn't believe that the crown prince didn't have the intention to take Han Youning over to the supreme position.He also didn't believe that Zhao Chengyuan would not be afraid that the prince would have such an idea.

Zhao Chengyuan smiled slightly, "It doesn't matter who will sit on the dragon chair, the king or the crown prince, the important thing is that you can't sit on it. Brother emperor, we have to settle the accounts between us today."

"Settling accounts?" Emperor Qingming pointed behind them, "Only relying on the [-] soldiers and horses in the camp on the outskirts of Beijing? Not to mention their combat power, they are all soldiers who have guarded the capital for generations, and now they know that they did not enter the palace to serve the king. It’s about wanting to be a traitor and traitor, and it’s up to you whether you’re willing to work hard for you!”

Zhao Chengyuan looked at Emperor Qingming with pity and shook his head, "Brother, haven't you figured it out yet? They are wearing the battle uniforms of the camp in the suburbs of Beijing, so you really think they are soldiers and horses of the camp in the suburbs of Beijing? Putting your wealth and life on someone you can't control."

Emperor Qingming's expression changed suddenly, "They are your personal soldiers!"

No wonder, no wonder the prince is so confident!
But how is it possible, these soldiers and horses have just traveled a long distance and experienced a big battle, shouldn't they be repaired!The war ended in only one day, but they had to hide their whereabouts and change their battle clothes halfway from Yanling to the capital for a hundred miles, how could they have time!
Zhao Chengyuan smiled, "That's right. They wiped out Brother Huang's [-] Dragon Guards in Yanling, and then rushed to the capital without stopping, and Brother Huang personally welcomed them into the city to rebel against you and take your position."

There was a roar of laughter from behind.

It was the laughter of Zhao Chengyuan's private soldiers.

The laughter was presumptuous and resonant, full of mockery, like rumbling thunder rolling past, rumbled and rumbled in Emperor Qingming's ears, deafening.

Emperor Qingming's throat rolled, and his mouth was fishy and sweet.

If it's the troops of the camp in the suburbs of Beijing, he still has a chance of winning, but if the opponent is the soldiers of General Ghost Face, even if the Royal Forest Army and the Dragon Guard work together, they may not be their opponents!
King Chengjun looked at the Imperial Forest Army in front of him, and Deputy Commander Liu who had been hesitating over there, and said in a deep voice, "Do you still think that the prince didn't storm the palace just now, just to deceive you? These soldiers and horses are only [-] , and wiped out the emperor's [-] dragon guards within two hours, with their fighting power, if they didn't want to hurt the innocent, why bother so much!"

"The king of Jin and the crown prince don't want to kill you, nor do they want to kill the [-] innocent soldiers in the camp on the outskirts of Beijing, so they did not hesitate to take the risk of failing in their efforts. Soldiers, this king knows that you are all loyal and brave teachers, but you must understand , that person is worthy of your allegiance!"

Cheng Junwang's words were impassioned and deafening.

At this time, the soldiers of the imperial forest army fully understood what happened inside and outside the imperial city in the past two days.

They have also heard the legend of the ghost-faced general countless times. In the Northwest War, the ghost-faced general was invincible. He was the hero in their hearts, the god of war.

Now General Ghost Face is in front of him, he is the King Jin they are familiar with, and they respect him even more in their hearts.

If the king of Jin had the intention to seize the throne and steal the country, he could have ignored the war in the northwest at that time, and instead took advantage of the fire to loot and attack the capital.However, the King of Jin had great righteousness in his heart, and he put self-interest behind righteousness, and helped the Northwest Army retreat thousands of miles away from the enemy, and relieved the danger in the Northwest of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

On the contrary, what is the emperor who they protect with their lives doing?
They are using war to eradicate meritorious officials and are rampantly killing.

A guard thought of his elder brother, who used to guard the gate of Kunning Palace, and was killed by Emperor Qingming because he didn't stop Concubine De from approaching.

His elder brother was loyal to the emperor and kept telling him, "You and I in the palace are related to the lives of the whole family, so we must act cautiously, and we must be loyal and loyal to the emperor."

But what was the result?Brother survived?
He murmured, "Not worth it. Not worth it..."

The murmur grew louder, he raised his head, looked at Emperor Qingming with firm gaze, and shouted loudly, "It's not worth it, you're not worth our loyalty!"

Someone echoed, "Yes, it's not worth it!"

"not worth it!"

"not worth it!"

……

The officers and soldiers of the Imperial Forest Army had been suppressed for a long time under Emperor Qingming's despotic power, and now they finally had a way to vent their resentment.

More and more people joined them, they put away their swords against the prince and the ghost-faced general, their shouts became louder and louder, and the crowd became more and more angry.The voice of indignation was like a spark of fire, and it was like a prairie fire in an instant.

The majestic, mournful and angry voices echoed in the night sky.

Emperor Qingming was about to burst into tears, "It's all wrong, it's all wrong!"

"You've turned against this, but you've thought about your clansmen! If you lose, you won't be afraid of being implicated by the nine clans!"

But no one listened to his threatening words. The soldiers of the Royal Forest Army who used to protect him with their lives are now pointing their swords at him.

There were also the guards of the imperial forest army hidden on the four walls, and their bows and arrows turned around one after another, aiming at Emperor Qingming.

The king of Chengjun showed pride on his face. The soldiers and horses he brought out were loyal and loyal, but they could also distinguish right from wrong and current affairs.

That was good, and a bloody battle was avoided.

Zhao Chengyuan raised his hand, the shouting stopped immediately, and there was silence all around.

Zhao Chengyuan looked at Emperor Qingming and said, "Now, can we settle the score?"

Emperor Qingming sneered, "As long as the last moment is not reached, I don't think I will lose, and you will have nothing to settle for."

"Oh?" Zhao Chengyuan said with a smile, "Brother Huang feels that he has not lost because of the five thousand dragon guards around Qianqing Palace, or the five thousand dragon guards outside the imperial city?"

Seeing that he knew so clearly, Emperor Qingming's smile froze, "What else did you do?"

Zhao Chengyuan said, "Brother Huang sent a signal to the outside of the palace three quarters of an hour ago, isn't it surprising why they haven't arrived yet?"

Emperor Qingming's heart sank.

He also made a special agreement with them today that once the signal is sent, they must rush to the palace immediately.At their speed, it is said that they can be reached in only a quarter of an hour.

Emperor Qingming said coldly, "Do you know where they are hiding?"

Zhao Chengyuan smiled and said, "Yes."

Emperor Qingming's heart was awe-inspiring, they had just met in the afternoon, and everyone was fine at that time.It was only three or four hours now, how could so many people be subdued silently?

It would be fine if they were in one place, but those dragon guards were scattered in different places, the purpose was to prevent their hiding places from being leaked by a nest.

They are so scattered, and they are all highly skilled in martial arts, and there is even a temporary hiding place in the house, how many troops does Zhao Chengyuan have to use, in order to quietly deal with so many people at the same time!
Emperor Qingming said, "You only have [-] troops entering the city. If I'm right, they are all here now. How can you have so many people to deal with the five thousand Dragon Guards!"

Zhao Chengyuan said, "Brother Huang, don't you think that this king only has such a small number of soldiers and horses? I have [-] soldiers and horses, but in fact, only [-] soldiers and horses led snakes out of the cave in Yanling. Where did the remaining [-] go? , brother, guess what?"

Emperor Qingming didn't need to guess, "You made the arrangement early in the capital!"

"Exactly."

Zhao Chengyuan walked up to Emperor Qingming, glanced at Jia Er and Jia San behind him who were on guard, and said in a low voice, "You don't have to be nervous, I haven't settled the score with him, so I won't kill him."

Jia Er Jia San remained unmoved, still standing in front of Emperor Qingming, blocking Zhao Chengyuan.

"You step back." Emperor Qingming said.

Jia Er Jia San retreated behind Emperor Qingming.

Emperor Qingming looked at Zhao Chengyuan and said, "I still say that, until the end, I will not admit defeat."

Zhao Chengyuan smiled, "Okay, since Brother Huang wants to fight, then I will accompany you to the end. Anyway, everyone I want to protect will be saved."

After he finished speaking, he turned his head and said to the King of Chengjun, "Brother Wang, please let the officers and men of the Imperial Forest Army retreat. This king will be responsible for the charge of treason."

King Chengjun was not worried that Zhao Chengyuan would lose. He had [-] soldiers and horses, and Emperor Qingming's five thousand dragon guards were still indifferent.

He cupped his hands, "Yes!"

He waved his hand, "Soldiers of the Imperial Forest Army, let's just watch the fun from the sidelines, and let's take a look at the demeanor of General Ghost Face's soldiers and horses!"

"Yes!"

Accompanied by the clanking of swords returning to their sheaths, and the clattering of armor, the guards of the Royal Forest Army dispersed in all directions to make room for the two sides to fight.

Before the Imperial Forest Army had finished retreating, they heard the sound of sharp arrows piercing the air.

Longwei, who was hiding around the Qianqing Palace, came out of the darkness suddenly, pointed his bow and crossbow in Zhao Chengyuan's direction, and violently shot dense rain of arrows.

This kind of strong bow and crossbow has such strong penetrating power that ordinary shields can't resist their attacks at all. They took such an advantage, but they just wanted to kill the opponent's main general by attacking them unprepared, and messed up their position.

Zhao Chengyuan didn't dodge, but calmly waved the long sword in his hand in the rain of arrows. It was obviously a long arrow with terrifying strength, but it seemed that the strength in his hand was easily dispelled in an instant, and he became weak and powerless.

Behind him, Zhao Chen, King Cheng, Old General Li, and their bodyguards are all first-class masters. These crossbow arrows are harmless to them. They block long arrows calmly, Build a wall stronger than a shield in front of the soldiers.

On the contrary, the soldiers behind them were quite dissatisfied. They set up their strong bows and crossbows, and returned to the direction where the long arrows came from.

As for the soldiers and horses in the back row, under the cover of the rain of arrows, they rushed towards the direction of Longwei like a huge wave.

The opponent's dragon guards were weak, and they had just found out that the [-] dragon guards had been wiped out, so they were already afraid of the ghost-faced general, and they were timid before fighting.Now when he fights against the opponent's soldiers and horses that are several times his own, he has a thorough understanding of the opponent's strength, and he is even more afraid in his heart, and he appears flustered during the battle.

For General Ghost Face's troops, this was nothing more than a massacre, an easier massacre than in Yanling.

But this is the key battle for their lords who have been dormant for many years and become a major event, so everyone is full of enthusiasm and awe-inspiring.

The roar of thunder and killing resounded through the sky.

The sky is as black as ink, and the night is boundless. Under the sky, the palace stands majestically under the bright lights.

This imperial palace has stood for hundreds of years, witnessed countless killings, and also witnessed countless brilliance.

The hearts of the people are clear, and the world is long.

What is right and wrong can only be written in the history books and left to future generations to judge.

Amidst the shouts of killing, Jiaer and Jiasan also joined the battle, and the targets of the attack were King Jin and the crown prince.

They knew very well that these two were the backbone of the rebel army, as long as they were dead and the dragons had no leader, the world would still belong to the emperor.

Zhao Chengyuan met Jiaer, and he understood what the prince said before, he was entangled by Jiaer and Jiasan in his previous life and couldn't escape. If the queen hadn't had an accident in Fenglou, he might not have won that palace change so easily. .

In the previous life, there were [-] Dragon Guards, [-] Imperial Forest Army, and private soldiers of Lord Zhen Guo and Marquis Yongping, and his soldiers and horses were [-]. In such a cramped place inside and outside the palace, there is no formation at all. Can only rely on one knife and one gun to fight, hand to hand.

He couldn't even imagine how tragic the scene of 10,000+ people fighting would be.

The people of Dazhou in the previous life really had a hard time.He reduced some murders in this life, so he can make up for his own sins in the previous life.

On the other hand, Zhao Chen had a lot of trouble dealing with Jiasan, even with Wei Xiao's assistance, it was not easy.

King Chengjun didn't move, he was wary of Emperor Qingming.

Many people only know that Emperor Qingming knows martial arts, but they don't know the depth of his martial arts.King Chengjun knew very well that Emperor Qingming's martial arts were not weak.He was afraid that Emperor Qingming would suddenly help Jiaer or Jiasan, and King Jin and the prince's lives would be in danger at any time.

Luo Ping and Ye Chang, who were beside Prince Jin, did not enter the palace, and were left in Dingguo Duke's Mansion to protect Princess Jin together with Shizi Han.As for Ding Guogong, King Chengjun was also very curious about where he was arranged by King Jin.

So although they have plenty of soldiers and horses for this battle, they are still in short supply of first-class masters.

King Chengjun narrowed his eyes suddenly, and keenly noticed that Emperor Qingming's hand moved, and a dart was thrown at King Jin.

With a movement of his body, he raised his sword to block the three darts in a row, and then attacked Emperor Qingming!
Emperor Qingming's surprise attack failed, the anxiety in his heart became more and more serious.If he can't win Zhao Chengyuan and Zhao Chen, he will lose completely.Aman is still in Kunning Palace, she must have been alarmed by the commotion outside.

But he didn't even have the chance to send someone to comfort her and arrange her again.If Aman is frightened, or is finally discovered by others...

Qingming's eyes were red, and his attacks became more and more fierce. He pressed on Chengjun King every step of the way, seeking to kill.
