I, make my own

Chapter 24
In the willow forest one mile away from the battlefield, several black shadows were hiding under the cover of branches and leaves, watching the two sides silently.

A gust of wind blew by, and when the willow branches swayed gently, a figure came silently.

"How, can you see the origins of those people?"

This sound is magnetic, like the sound of jade.

Although the night is blurry and the body and appearance cannot be seen clearly, the sound alone can leave a rich room for reverie.

"Master of Islam, look at the tricks, he should be a person of Shang Fazong."

A black shadow responded respectfully, like everyone else, they all lowered their heads, not daring to look at the face of the visitor.

"Shang Fazong... Oh, this is interesting."

The woman known as the leader chuckled lightly, with some amusement in her surprise.

"Master, Shang Fazong dares to get involved in the battle for the throne. Are they not afraid of losing their bet and attacking the army?"

"Although it's a little risky, it's not that serious. Even if things fail, even if their people are killed and captured, Shang Fazong will produce evidence that they have prepared long ago to prove that these people have left Shang Fazong."

"As long as Shang Fazong expresses something, the court will not hold on to it under normal circumstances."

"After all, Shang Fazong is the leader of the righteous way, and his appeal is too strong. If the imperial court insists on sending a large army to attack, it is very likely to cause chaos in the world, and the gains outweigh the losses."

Hearing the words of the leader, several people couldn't help being silent.

Although they don't want to admit it, Shang Fazong's appeal is indeed far greater than that of Jiuyou God Sect, which is where the power of orthodox name lies.

"So, did we unintentionally help Shang Fazong?"

One of them spoke suddenly, his tone quite displeased.

"If they really helped King Wei seize the throne, then Shang Fazong's status and influence in the Great Zhou Dynasty will only be stronger. Wouldn't the situation of my Jiuyou God Sect be even more difficult?"

"Not necessarily, there are some interesting news from Qianxiang Pavilion."

"First, the city patrolling army has strengthened the vigilance of the Sifang City Gate and lowered the Dragon Falling Gate."

"Secondly, the Tiqi Guards under Zhijinwu's command are rushing to the General's Mansion and are expected to arrive soon."

"The most important thing is that someone messed up our game, but it didn't destroy it, but went a step further and accelerated the arrival of this moment."

Several people were taken aback for a moment, and then their eyes widened.

"What the leader means is that the spoiler warned Hu Zhizhuo in advance, so that's why the general's reaction was so quick?"

"Nine times out of ten."

The leader nodded slightly, and then his tone became serious.

"Until the target is drawn out, Hu Zhizhuo can't die yet. Keep an eye on the battlefield and help if necessary."

"In addition, if King Wei has no other backup, that's fine. If there is one, in order to prevent him from successfully usurping the throne and posing a threat to the Divine Cult, he can be assassinated!"

"Yes!"

……

The west gate of the imperial capital.

Amid the rapid sound of war drums, the soldiers patrolling the city, who had already entered the state of combat readiness, put on their hardened coats and stood ready for battle.

However, looking at the densely packed army outside the city, with torches in their hands forming a sea of ​​flames, many soldiers' palms were sweating, and their eyes were quite nervous.

Although they are the city patrolling army guarding the imperial capital and the strongest of all the city patrolling troops in the Great Zhou Dynasty, they are only city patrolling troops with very little actual combat experience after all.

On the other hand, the army outside the city is stronger than them in terms of strength, equipment, and battle experience.

That's the Tiger's Might Army, one of the two strongest central armies in the Great Zhou except for the Forbidden Army.

Furthermore, the Tiger's Might army has a full 2, while their patrol army on the west city wall is only more than [-], and the number gap is quite large.

Therefore, even if they stood on a city wall that was ten feet high and seven feet wide, even if they had complete and powerful defensive weapons, they still couldn't help but feel trembling.

In the oppressive confrontation, a small group of cavalry suddenly rode out from the army outside the city, and one of them shouted loudly towards the gate tower.

"Where is the captain of the city gate?!"

On the top of the city gate, Guo Ran, the captain of the west gate of the imperial city, pushed aside the guards, strode forward, stood by the female wall and stared at the cavalry hundreds of feet away.

After scanning the cavalry for a while, he finally settled on a figure wearing a serial beast head armor and a red cloak on his back.

"I'm Guo Ran, the captain of Xichengmen! General Huwei! What do you intend to do by mobilizing the Huwei army to threaten the imperial capital without authorization? Is it possible that you want to rebel?!"

Guo Ran shouted loudly with an angry expression.

General Huwei Du Zan frowned slightly, and pulled out a bright yellow scroll from his arms.

"Your Majesty has a decree! General Hu Zhizhuo conspired to rebel, so he specially ordered the Huwei Army to enter the imperial capital to escort and put down the rebellion!"

"Lieutenant Guo! Open the city gate quickly, there must be no mistakes!"

The officers and soldiers of the city patrolling army on the top of the city were suddenly startled, and while looking at each other in blank dismay, they also hesitated.

Unexpectedly, instead of being surprised, Guo Ran sneered.

"Zhi Jinwu has asked His Majesty and the Queen Mother to verify that the so-called imperial decree in your hand is nothing but a hypocritical edict made by Concubine Qionghan!"

"General Huwei! You don't know what the edict means. If you lead the troops to retreat at this time, it means that you are just deceived and don't know the inside story. But if you don't follow, it will be a great crime to punish the nine clans. You must Think it through!"

Hearing this, Du Zan narrowed his eyes slightly, and then shouted angrily.

"presumptuous!"

"Guo Ran, you, a mere city gate captain, dare to slander His Majesty?! How does the imperial decree exist? How can others forge it?"

"Guo Ran, how dare you blatantly resist the decree, and you can't find death?!"

As soon as this remark came out, the generals in the city gate tower couldn't help but feel a little commotion.

In their view, the imperial decree is the supreme existence that cannot be desecrated, and even the concubine should not be able to get involved.

"Master Captain, the imperial decree should not be false, or else..."

Someone hesitated to make a sound, but Guo Ran stared fiercely at him.

But before Guo Ran could say anything, three generals suddenly drew their weapons.

"Guo Ran blatantly resists the decree, and he deserves death! All the robes, kill him, follow His Majesty's will, and let the Huwei army enter the city!"

Hearing the shouts of the three, the rest of the generals couldn't help but fell into a dilemma, not knowing what to do for a while.

At this moment, a sneer suddenly sounded from the outside.

"The prime minister and Wei Wang's dark sons are really pervasive, and they even infiltrated the subordinates of this official."

Hearing this voice, most of the generals were stunned for a moment, and then showed a relaxed expression as if seeing the backbone.

But looking back at the three people who drew their weapons and faced Guo Ran, their faces changed drastically, with panic in their eyes.

"Zhijinwu, I'll wait..."

One of them swallowed, turned his head with difficulty, and wanted to explain.

However, He Yan was not in the mood to listen to their excuses. With a light flick of her wrist, three firefly-sized golden glows shot out from the tip of the sword that was quickly unsheathed, piercing the throats or between the eyebrows of the three of them respectively.

Seeing the three of them collapsed on the ground powerlessly, the rest of the generals couldn't help feeling chills in their hearts, and hurriedly saluted He Yan respectfully.

"You don't want to believe Guo Ran's words. Are you trustworthy with the official's words?"

He Yan put the sword back into its sheath, and at the same time said in a low voice, she walked towards the female wall without squinting.

"An adult's words, there will be no falsehood!"

All the generals responded in unison, very honest.

He Yan ignored the group of subordinates, but looked down at Du Zan outside the city.

"General Huwei, listen to He Mou's persuasion, lead the army back at this time, your majesty, queen mother, and general will not pursue it. But if you are stubborn, hum!"

Du Zan's face was gloomy, and his eyes were flickering.

After more than ten breaths of silence, Du Zan took a deep breath and shouted in a cold voice.

"He Yan, you should be clear, if our Tiger Mighty Army wants to attack by force, you will not be able to defend it!"

He Yan heard the words, but she was not afraid at all.

"What General Huwei said is true, but no matter how poor my city patrolling army is, I can always keep it until dawn."

"Also, if you want hundreds of people in Du's mansion to die first, you can come and attack!"

Du Zan's face suddenly changed, and his eyes showed raging anger.

After staring at He Yan on the top of the wall for a while, Du Zan finally gritted his teeth and squeezed out two words.

"Back, battalion!"

He Yan smiled in satisfaction, and shouted again loudly.

"General Huwei, you can rest assured that your majesty and the general will know that you were only deceived by false edicts and returned to the camp after learning the truth."

After that, Du Zanmo suddenly cupped his fists towards He Yan and spoke in a harsh voice.

"If this is the case, this feeling must be engraved in my heart!"

……

General's House.

I don't know when the battle will start again, and there are less than [-] soldiers left on the general's side, and they are surrounded by more than a thousand red-clothed soldiers. Seeing that the situation is precarious.

At this moment, the heavy, rapid and intensive sound of horseshoes suddenly sounded from a distance, and it became louder and louder.

Hearing this movement, Hu Zhizhuo, who was huddled in the innermost side, his eyes lit up and he burst out laughing.

"Little brat! You are dead! This general will imprison you in a cesspit for torture!"

"There are also you rats who hide their heads and show their tails! This general will definitely dig out your heels and uproot you!"

On the other hand, Zhou Lan's heart was shocked and his face turned pale.

"Is it the Tiqi Guards under Zhijinwu's command? How could it be, how could they come so fast?!"

Looking at the red heavy armored cavalry looming behind, Zhou Lan was shocked and angry, and his heart was even more puzzled.

According to estimates, even if the General's Mansion issued a call for help as soon as it was attacked, it would take more than half an hour for the Tiqi Guards to arrive!

But there are still about two quarters of an hour before the estimated time. How did they do it?
"Scatter and evacuate, as much as you can escape!"

A man in black whispered to Zhou Lan.

There are 3000 members of the Ti Cavalry Guards. The average cultivation of its soldiers is between the fourth and fifth ranks, and all members are equipped with high-grade Xuan-level heavy armor. They are the most powerful heavy cavalry in the Great Zhou Dynasty.

If it is a confrontation on flat ground, even [-] imperial troops may not be able to stop it.

Such a force is simply not something they can resist.

"No! Hold on for a while, and you'll get it soon!"

Seeing that Hu Zhizhuo could be killed soon, Zhou Lan was extremely unwilling and unwilling to give up.

"It's too late! Even if he can be killed, all of us will have to be buried with him!"

The man in black spoke anxiously, speaking extremely fast.

"You have the Forbidden Army, and the Huwei Army. As long as you control the overall situation, Hu Zhizhuo can't escape! The Tiqi Guards can't make any waves!"

"Go quickly!"

When the words fell, regardless of whether Zhou Lan agreed or not, he directly gave the order to disperse and evacuate, grabbed Zhou Lan's arm, and fled in a direction.
