Martial Arts: Start with 100,000 Xiliang Cavalry

Chapter 136 Fighting openly and secretly, being bold

"Chong'er, what you said...is it true?"

In the dormitory of the imperial palace, after hearing what Zhou Chong said about what happened in front of the city, Emperor Qingxiang straightened his upper body, his face full of disbelief.

"Father, my child has seen it with his own eyes, and everything he said is true. That general who wielded two hammers killed thousands of soldiers with his own hammer. He is truly undeservedly brave!"

How dare Zhou Chong lie, the scene of Li Yuanba Kai Wushuang is still engraved in his mind, which cannot be erased for a long time.He even felt like he would dream of this scene in his nightmares tonight.

For this reason, he now has to convince his father that he should stop lying on the bed in the palace and "remotely command" through the manual.He didn't want Li Yuanba's big hammer to blow his head away like that of that unknown young general.

However, he did not lie about Li Yuanba's bravery.However, the [-] soldiers sent out were not answered, so he did not say anything about it.Even if Li Gui didn't tell him, he knew what to say and what was best not to mention.

Emperor Qingxiang leaned back, with a complicated expression: "Then Su Yuan, why do you have so many elite soldiers and good generals under his command? I have hundreds of civil and military officials in the Zhou Dynasty, but I am not as good as a traitor like him."

"..."

These words were not easy to answer, Zhou Chong resolutely kept silent.

After Emperor Qingxiang was moved, he also gradually realized that perhaps this war should be handed over to Li Gui, and it is better for him to recuperate with peace of mind.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help feeling depressed.Back then when he was young and strong, he also led troops on expeditions, but now he is old and frail, so he can only lie on this dragon bed, inevitably depressed.

"Okay, Chong'er, I understand. You go and tell Li Gui, let him assess the situation, and be careful."

Zhou Chong was overjoyed: "Yes!"

As soon as he heard his father's words, he knew that his goal had been achieved.

After Zhou Chong left, Emperor Qingxiang murmured, "Say, my capital will be fine."

There was no one else in the room except him, but he continued to ask: "If I ask you to kill that Su Yuan, will you go or not?"

"My duty is to protect His Majesty's safety." An abrupt voice sounded from the room, the voice was vague and elusive, as if it was everywhere.

Emperor Qingxiang sighed: "If something happens to my country, how can I survive? If you kill Su Yuan, it will be considered safe for me."

The voice didn't respond.

Emperor Qingxiang was a little annoyed, but there was nothing he could do.

As for the dragon guard family that has been passed down for generations, even if he is the emperor, he can't force them to do things.

This is the law of the ancestors, and since the establishment of the Dragon Guardian Clan, it has only followed that one principle.

"I hope that the ancestors of the Great Zhou can bless my Great Zhou." Emperor Qingxiang said in a low voice, his old face was no longer as confident as before.

……

Baishiquan left Kaiyang City and headed all the way to the capital.

He is confident in his own strength, but in order to avoid some accidents, he still carefully walks some small paths and avoids the avenues.It wasn't until near the capital that he breathed a sigh of relief.

Looking at the continuous Bei'an military camp to the west, Bai Shiquan thought in his heart: "Su Yuan is really here."

When he was guarding Qingzhou Chuancheng earlier, he had always had a thought in his mind, that is, after Su Yuan captured Qingzhou, he might not necessarily attack the capital.

The defense levels of Qingzhou and Beijing are not at the same level, and in his opinion, this is too fast.You must know that Su Yuan started the incident before the spring plowing, and it is less than August now, and it has only been a few months in total.

It took a few months to fight from northern Xinjiang to the capital, and by the way, completely cleaned up the Bei Rong who had been troubled by Da Zhou.This efficiency is so high that it can be called terrifying.

In Baishiquan's thinking, he thought that Su Yuan would take a temporary rest after conquering Qingzhou, and then plan for the capital later.

Not only himself, but all civil and military officials of the Great Zhou Dynasty had this idea, and even Emperor Qingxiang thought so, so he adopted the marriage strategy for this reason.

If he had known that Su Yuan would not stop for a moment, and would raise troops to attack Beijing as soon as Qingzhou was conquered, then what kind of marriage plan would he use if his head was kicked by a donkey, and if he lost Zhou Shu, it would be the next best thing, so all the gold and silver treasures would be given away It hurts the most to go out.

In Emperor Qingxiang's eyes, Zhou Shu was indeed not as important as those belongings, but he might never have imagined that this unimportant daughter in his eyes would help Su Yuan crusade against his father at this time.

Baishiquan looked at it for a while, and knew that the gate of the capital was closed and it was impossible to pass through.

If he wants to leave, he can only enter through the east gate.

Because the West City Gate is facing the Bei'an Army's barracks, it will not be opened no matter what.The east gate, on the other side, may be open occasionally to transport goods.Even if he didn't open it, he could still leap up the city wall and enter the city.

The defense on the wall of the east city gate is definitely not as tight as that of the west city. With his skill, even if some soldiers are guarding, they can completely ignore it.

Bai Shiquan waited patiently until evening, put on his night clothes, covered his face, and came to the east gate.

There are soldiers patrolling the city wall here all the time. Without saying a word, he climbed up the wall with lightness kung fu. The guards are not blind, so they yelled immediately when they found him, and some people shot arrows.

Bai Shiquan protected his body with his true energy, and broke the bows and arrows that were shot. He didn't get entangled with these guards, and killed a dozen of those who rushed over with a few palms, and then jumped into the city and quickly left.

The movement here quickly spread to the west city wall, and Fu Chengyang came in person after a while.

He glanced at the guard who was killed, and immediately realized that it was Bai Shiquan who did it!

Every martial artist has his signature kung fu, and when he reaches the master level, his true energy will also have special characteristics. Fu Chengyang knows a lot about Baishiquan, and when he saw the guard's wound, he knew it was Baishiquan's work.

He is back?

Fu Chengyang looked coldly into the city.

It was beyond his expectation that Bai Shiquan would have the courage to come back.He also thought that for the sake of his own life, the leader of the beggar gang would never dare to step into the capital or his Fu Chengyang's territory from now on.

As a result, Baishiquan not only came back, but also blatantly killed the guards and entered the city.

This can't help but make Fu Chengyang vigilant: "What is he going to do when he comes back?"

The main rudder of the beggar gang in the capital has already existed in name only. Many elders died in the battle of Sichuan City, and the disciples were also killed and wounded. They could not form an organization long ago and disbanded.

The Battle of Chuancheng was almost equivalent to realizing what Su Yuan had said earlier, that is, to break up the beggar gang.

Once the main rudder is disabled, the sub-rudders in the following states will naturally do their own things.Fu Chengyang, the leader of the beggar gang, probably only has a name left now, so what's the use of returning to the capital?

Fu Chengyang never dreamed that Bai Shiquan came back with only one purpose, which was to kill him.

Baishiquan entered the city, and the city was already under martial law.Fortunately, he was strong in martial arts, and he had been in the capital for many years, so he was familiar with the roads, so he came to Zhao's house soon.

He didn't knock on the door, he turned directly into the door of the house, there were guards chatting in the yard, he was taken aback when he turned in, and then shouted: "What are you doing!"

"Don't die! Dare to overturn Zhao's house!"

"court death!"

The nurses immediately surrounded him, and Bai Shiquan said coldly, "If you don't want to die, get the hell out of here. I'm here to deliver the letter for Song Qian and Master Song."

"What shit Song..."

"Snapped!"

Before a nurse could finish speaking, he was slapped on the face.

When the guard saw the person who beat him, he immediately said with a bitter face: "Second young master."

The second young master ignored him, and took Bai Shiquan into the inner courtyard: "Isn't this the leader of the Bai gang? The servants are ignorant, so don't blame the leader of the Bai gang."

Bai Shiquan had "cooperated" with many dignitaries and dignitaries in the capital in the past, and the Zhao family was no exception. He had also met the second young master of the Zhao family.

"It's okay."

"I just heard that Mr. Song asked Lord Bai to deliver the letter?"

"Master Song told me to hand over the letter to Mr. Zhao."

"Oh, wait a moment, Chief Bai."

The second young master led him to the reception room, and then went to find Zhao Zhiguang who was practicing calligraphy.

As soon as Zhao Zhiguang heard Song Qian's letter, he immediately put down his brush and came to see Bai Shiquan.

The Song family is the in-laws of his Zhao family, and it is also a big family in Xuzhou. Song Qian is also the state shepherd. This relationship is always maintained by the Zhao family.

Now that Song Qian sent a letter on this critical point, there must be something important.

When Bai Shiquan saw Zhao Zhiguang, he didn't talk nonsense, took off his burden, and took out the letter Song Qian had given him.

"This this……?!"

Zhao Zhiguang looked at it, and his expression changed.

First shock, then joy.

"Hahahaha!" After reading it, he burst out laughing, his disheveled hair trembling constantly.

"Father, why are you so happy?"

"Can I be unhappy! There's something new about Cheng'er!"

Zhao Zhiguang just held a family meeting earlier to help Zhou Cheng compete for the crown prince.Unexpectedly, Song Qian sent someone to send a "helper" today.

The lethality that these few letters can cause is not generally astonishing.

He looked at Bai Shiquan with a smile: "Master Bai, thanks to you for sending this letter! Just stay at the mansion for a few days!"

Bai Shiquan nodded slightly: "Then Bai is bothering you."

It stands to reason that it is not very safe for him to stay in the capital now. Maybe Fu Chengyang will know that he is back and send someone to look for him.But he really wanted to see how Fu Chengyang died with his own eyes, so he would rather take the risk and stay.

"Master Bai, you're welcome!" Mr. Zhao asked someone to arrange a room for Bai Shiquan.

Afterwards, he immediately arranged for people in the palace to notify Queen Zhaomei.

Empress Zhaomei received the news and went to the emperor's palace early the next morning, and then left the palace to go home to visit relatives.

How many people are secretly watching every move of the palace.Among them, Concubine Yugui was the most closely watched.

Concubine Yugui knew that the queen hated her very much, especially after Emperor Qingxiang showed his love for Zhou Chong, this hatred became more explicit.

But she doesn't care, as long as Zhou Chong succeeds, then the harem may have to be decided by someone else.So she has to keep an eye on the queen during this time, lest she use any tricks.

Now as soon as the queen leaves the palace, she knows that there must be something strange going home to visit relatives at this time.

But she couldn't do anything by herself, so she had to ask a confidant maid to send a note to the guard Yu Hu.

Yu Hu is Fu Chengyang's confidant, when he saw the note, he immediately tried to arrange someone to notify Fu Chengyang.

Fu Chengyang is still on the west city wall at this moment, he is under the emperor's order and cannot leave privately.When Yu Hu passed the news to him through a soldier, he immediately noticed something was wrong.

Bai Shiquan just sneaked back to the capital last night. Empress Zhaomei is leaving the palace to visit her relatives early this morning. Could this be a coincidence?

Fu Chengyang didn't believe in any coincidences, he could only think that Bai Shiquan must have brought something back from Xuzhou.And this thing is what Queen Zhaomei needs, so there is a high probability that Baishiquan is in the Zhao family now!
Fu Chengyang looked sullen, and thought to himself: "What the queen wants is naturally to make his son Zhou Cheng the crown prince. Then this Baishiquan probably has something that is not good for Chong'er..."

He looked up at Zhou Chong who was not far away, and then looked away.

I will never allow anything to go wrong with Chong'er...

A venomous look flashed in Fu Chengyang's eyes, he pondered for a moment, called the soldier from before, and told him to find someone.

About half an hour later, the man came, wearing a suit of armor, just like an ordinary soldier.

But when he opened his mouth, he revealed his identity.

"Master Fu looking for me?"

Under the helmet was a young and handsome face, none other than Jia Yi.

Taking advantage of other people's inattention, Fu Chengyang said in a low voice: "You let the spider do it and kill people."

"Kill who?"

"Queen Zhaomei."

Jiayi raised his eyebrows lightly, and said with a smile: "Master Fu is so daring, the dignified Queen of Zhou wants to kill her too."

Fu Chengyang ignored Jia Yi's teasing, and continued: "She went back to Zhao's house to visit relatives, and ordered all the remaining 'A' brand names of the spiders to be dispatched. Ambush her on the way back to the palace. As soon as the sedan chair appears, we will attack immediately!"

"Then, Master Fu, the queen was killed in the street..."

"When Bai Shiquan came back, I blamed him. He said that he was dissatisfied with the Holy One who only gave him an empty title, which led to the demise of his beggar gang. He was resentful, so he took revenge and killed the queen." Fu Chengyang said coldly.

When he was determined to kill Queen Zhaomei, he already had this idea.

A sighed: "Master Fu really doesn't leave any way of life for others."

Fu Chengyang looked at Jiayi: "Don't forget our agreement, besides, I'm not asking you to do it, but the spider's people."

"Hehe, that's fine. I'll pass the news on to the spider, but Mr. Fu, you have to be prepared to fail in the assassination. Don't forget that the earliest generation of dragon guards came from the Zhao family."

"The dragon guards are only responsible for protecting the emperor, not the queen." Fu Chengyang said indifferently.

"That's true, hehe."

A left with a smile. Fu Chengyang looked at his back and always felt that something was wrong.

A's last look seemed to be mocking him. Could it be that there was some omission in the plan?
Fu Chengyang frowned, he couldn't think of it.

With the few remaining members of Spider A, how difficult is it to kill the queen, an ordinary person, and a few Houtian guards with poor martial arts?

if not...

Fu Chengyang thought to himself, if he hadn't been unable to leave the city wall lightly, he would have done it by himself.

However, after he thought about it, it was a good thing that he couldn't leave.

This way you can minimize your suspicions.

"Eunuch Fu, what's the matter with you?" Zhou Chong asked strangely when he found Fu Chengyang looking at him.

"It's nothing, Your Highness." Fu Chengyang smiled.

This guy is so weird...

Zhou Chong quickly looked away, he didn't want to have too much to do with the old eunuch.
