Neon Clothes and Iron Clothes

Chapter 124
"Of course I won't forget, I have already contacted the rich families secretly, and I have prepared armor in the family house and treasury!" The corners of the prince's mouth turned up slightly, and his eyes shot a dangerous cold light. The demise of the Ga clan is the famous Otomi Coup. In this coup, the eldest brother, the prince, joined with Nakatomi Kamari and others to assassinate the power minister Suga Rulu on the court, and then besieged the Suga clan, forcing his father Suga Ezo committed suicide, destroyed the Soga clan, and returned the power of government to the emperor's family.

Her words actually have two meanings: one is to prevent the old tricks of the eldest brother and the prince from repeating, and directly use violent means to fight for the throne; , Ascended the throne.

"That's good!" Empress Qiyu patted her palm lightly: "Gecheng has offended many people by what he has done over the years, and the big families have deep grudges against him. As long as you ascend to the throne and issue orders, he will betray everyone." !"

While talking, there was a sudden commotion from outside, Princess Qiyu frowned slightly, and said to the female slave: "Go out and see, what's going on, it's so noisy!"

"Yes!" The female slave bowed to accept the order, turned and left, and when she returned after a while, her expression was already panicked: "Princess, the mansion has been surrounded, it's the Zhongchen clan's army!"

"What?" Both Qiyu and Youjian were taken aback, and asked in unison: "Nakatomi? Who is their leader? How dare you do this?"

"It's the Minister of Internal Affairs (the official position of the Nakatomi Kamazu, who was called the Minister of Internal Affairs at the time, that is, the Minister of Internal Affairs later)! He claimed to have come here under the holy order!" The female slave trembled.

"Nakatomi Kamazu? It's Katsuragi's dog!" Princess Saitama gritted her teeth. Although she is a woman, she is more decisive than a man: "Brother, they are coming after you. I will go to the front door to delay time. Escape through the back door!"

"Then if they are against you—"

"Brother, I am a shrine maiden, and I can't compete with Katsuragi for the position. They will kill me for nothing!" Princess Qitama remained calm and composed: "But you have to be careful, Nakatomi must be after you of!"

"Okay, then you have to be more careful!" The prince nodded, then turned and ran towards the back door.Princess Saitama closed her eyes and took a deep breath, calmed down, and headed towards the main entrance.

At that time, the Yamato Kingdom did not have a fixed capital city, and the emperor and the major nobles all built their own palaces and lived together as clans.The residence of each great nobleman was actually a small town: with independent granaries, residences, stables, camps for servants and guards, walls, and even barns and moats for protection.Unless outsiders set fire to attack, it is absolutely impossible to enter in a short period of time, and I have enough time to leave!One prince thought to himself, he came to the stable as fast as he could, and shouted to the slaves: "Bring the fastest horses here!"

It was a ginger mare. A prince didn't bother to take a closer look and got on the horse. Two of his attendants followed him on foot. His mansion is not far from here. If he can go home, then there is nothing to be afraid of. There are enough armors in the warehouse to arm him. As long as he can persist for half a day, his other supporters will rise up to rescue him.

Walking out of the back door, a prince looked around vigilantly. The hillside was covered with bright red maple forests, slanting westward under the blowing of the mountain wind. As long as you pass through this maple forest and turn over the top of the mountain, you will be your mansion.A prince let out a long breath and said in a low voice, "Let's go!"

The sound of horseshoes echoed in the silent forest, and the noise from a distance seemed to be saying goodbye. A prince turned his head, and the mansion of Princess Saitama could not be seen clearly. The trees blocked the sun, the branches and leaves shook, and the shadows swayed , as if there were monsters peeping around, he couldn't help but think of the ghost stories he had heard.

"Hurry up!" A prince lashed his mount and shouted to his followers: "When I go back, I will reward you both heavily!"

"Yes!"

As the woods deepened, the hillside gradually became steeper, and the turmeric mare carrying Prince Youjian's plump body also became staggering, and Prince Youjian had to dismount and walk with the support of his entourage.

"Quick, quick!" A prince knew that time was running out, and he urged in a low voice as he strode forward with all his strength. Suddenly, a gust of wind blew in his face, and he felt as if something moved behind the maple tree in front of him. In the next second, he heard two light bangs, and then the two followers fell down, bringing him to the ground as well.

"Your Highness, Brother Zhong asked me to say hello to you!"

The person who spoke was a man of medium build, with a Chinese character face, a thick beard under his chin, and piercing eyes. He was Nakatomi's sickle feet. He waved his hand, and two people rushed up behind him to grab Prince Arima's arms.There was a prince who struggled hard, but he sprained his right leg when he fell, and because he lost his strength just now, he couldn't stand up for a while.Zhongchen sneered, pulled out his saber, raised his hands above his head, and slashed down hard.

The blade cut through the skin of the melon, and the viscous juice overflowed from the crack, slipped along the blade, and dripped on the joint of the index finger. Su Dingfang flicked his finger, put it aside, and said with a smile: "Come, come, this melon is in the well. I've been soaking in the water all afternoon, and it's the best way to relieve the heat of autumn, so don't be shy, do it yourself!"

"Thank you, Chief Manager!"

"There is a big boss!"

There were only four people in the room, all with different appearances, and all of them were extraordinary. They were obviously Su Dingfang's left and right hands. They knelt beside the table, reached out and took a piece of melon, and chewed it carefully. Sure enough, the melon tasted sweet and refreshing. Can't help but praise one after another.

Su Dingfang didn't eat it, but just looked at it with a smile, and when everyone had taken all the melons on the plate, he said with a smile: "Everyone, I just got a piece of good news just now. Seven days ago, the Lord of the Kingdom of Yi had commanded the army of the North Road to cross Yalu." Water, smashed the Goguryeo thieves, beheaded more than [-] people, and the thieves only saved Quan boys!"

"Oh, that's great joy!"

"That's right, Lord Yi went out on the horse, and it really is a victory!"

Everyone was overjoyed when they heard the news. It turned out that Duke Yi was Qibi Heli, a famous general of the Tang Dynasty. He was also the commander of the Tang army on the North Road. At that time, there were still many Goguryeo mountain cities behind the Tang army on the North Road that had not been captured, and Su Dingfang also ordered troops under the city of Pyongyang. Turned the situation around completely.
