Empress, she is beautiful Lu Ziye

Conspiracy with profit is always the most reliable.

Yu Xinghong has believed in this all his life, and has always done so, and has never missed a shot.

"Three days..." He slowly bit these two words, his eyelids lowered, "I can't wait."

But compared to the past 30 years, it is nothing.

The butler bowed his head to the side. Hearing what he said, he wanted to remind him aloud that the closer to the last moment, the more calm he should be.

But when the words reached his mouth, he went around and swallowed them again.

The master has always been calm and reserved. Sometimes, he is even so indifferent that he seems like an emotionless dummy. It is impossible for him to act impulsively, so there is no need for him to talk too much.

Sure enough, after a few breaths, Yu Xinghong spoke again, and his tone had returned to calm.

"What's the situation in the palace now?"

Butler: "Go back to the master, His Majesty has not moved yet, but he should have known about the disappearance of Prince Chen."

After all, they are only a minority in the military camp and can only hide in the dark; King Chen and His Majesty's people are the ones who truly hold the power and can issue orders.

They would notice any disturbance, let alone such a big event?
Yu Xinghong smiled, "It seems that His Majesty also knows that this matter is no small matter and cannot be publicized. It's a pity that I should move faster in this move."

……

Three days passed in a flash, and once the news of King Chen's disappearance was spread, it soon reached the ears of every soldier in the northwest.

Although several lieutenants tried their best to cover it up and even punished two soldiers as an example, they still couldn't stop the spread of the words. For a while, the whole army was fluctuating and tired.

The deputy general sent secret messages to the palace several times, but he also knew that there was no solution yet.

The disappearance of the commander-in-chief is a major event, and anyone who changes it will feel sad.

But the city still has to defend——

Even if it is to stick to it.

On the capital side, it's not much better.

To be on the safe side, Yu Xinghong didn't let people spread the news in the capital, but during the war, merchants had such a keen sense of smell that they sensed something was wrong, so they closed the doors of their shops early.

The common people noticed it later, and they stopped wandering the streets to listen to gossip, and stayed at home with their doors closed.

For a moment, the bustling long street became deserted in an instant. Looking from the window sill on the third floor, only a few people could be seen.

Chu Li stood in front of the window with his hands behind his back, staring at the somewhat empty street with a rare serious expression, "It seems that a big battle is about to break out."

"Soon." Nan Zhen replied.

She remembered the secret letter she saw on Xiao Rongxi's desk in the morning. According to Liang Jun's route, the attack would be launched tonight at the latest.

The enemy army is full of vigor, and it must be a fierce battle.

"Bai Zhanxiao has shown signs of showing his face in the past few days. I'm afraid the Yu family is ready to move." Chu Li suddenly turned around and asked, "You said, if Yu Xinghong really rebelled, would he follow?"

Nan Zhen thought for a while, "No."

Chu Li raised his eyebrows, "What do you say?"

"Bai Zhanxiao is focused on profit, and is sensitive and suspicious. He is not [-]% sure, and he will not follow the risk."

"But since he is in that position, it is impossible for Yu Xinghong to keep him out of the matter."

Nan Zhen smiled, "The murderer is divided into the main criminal and the accomplice. He must only take care of fringe affairs. Besides, how can such a smart person as Yu Xinghong fail to understand his temperament? He will not entrust important matters to him. .”

Chu Li nodded, "Our people have been watching for the past few days. It seems that he intends to take advantage of the chaos and escape."

Bai Zhanxiao originally wanted to escape from the capital, but was blocked everywhere and couldn't escape, so he asked the Yu family for help.

After entering Yu's house, he was not at ease, and wanted to contact the hidden stakes buried in Mingyue Pavilion to do things for him, but failed, and they pulled out many hidden stakes instead.

After Ah Jing took over as the hall master, she punished some people who escaped with thunderous means, and established her prestige.Now everyone in Beitang is silent like cicadas, don't talk about disagreements, it's not bad if you can keep the job in front of you.

"He wanted to take advantage of the chaos, so we grabbed it. Isn't it his usual tricks to attack the west and take advantage of the fire? This time, we will return it to him."

"boom--"

After the words fell, a thunder from the sky attracted the attention of both of them.

The dark clouds gather together, and the sky at dusk is even more gloomy and gloomy at this time, which makes people feel depressed.

The rain is about to fall, but the supposedly cool autumn day looks a little sultry.

Nan Zhen looked at the sky, got up and said, "I should go back to the palace."

Chu Li didn't dissuade him, just took an umbrella, "I'll take you out."

……

At night, a light rain finally floated in the sky, as fine as a cow's hair, and it fell on the body very moist.

After the third watch, the doors of every house were closed and the lights were turned off. Only the lanterns under the corridors of the shops on both sides of the long street were still flickering like will-o’-the-wisps.

Many shadows suddenly appeared at the east and west gates of the capital, walking neatly and lightly along the alley in the direction of the palace.

On the way, many doors opened again, and soldiers in full armor and armor came out and merged into the team.

The sharp-eyed guards guarding the imperial city at night saw that something was wrong and immediately reported it to the commander.

When An Chongwu climbed onto the high platform, outside the imperial city, a mob of people, numbering in the tens of thousands, had already surrounded him.

He was horrified, there are not many people who can mobilize many soldiers and horses in the capital, and His Royal Highness Chen Wang is not here, and His Majesty has not given orders, who has such ability? !
And judging by this posture, this is to... force the palace!
The torch was lit, illuminating the grounds of the imperial city, and from a distance, he saw Yu Xinghong sitting on a high horse surrounded by all the generals.

"Master Yu, what are you doing!" An Chongwu said, full of anger, "Leading troops to surround the imperial city is a serious crime to destroy the nine clans!"

Yu Xinghong snorted softly, "I have done a lot of things to destroy the Nine Clans, and this is not bad. Commander An is a smart man, and he will judge the situation. It is not difficult to see who has the upper hand in the imperial city tonight. If you let us in, the future The position of leadership is still yours."

This is the first hurdle to enter the palace, Xiao Rongxi has extremely strict control, he has infiltrated for a long time but failed to send his own people to An Chongwu's side.

Only at this moment, act on the spot, and persuade people to open the city gate.

When An Chongwu heard this, he immediately sneered, "Big words!"

He looked at the generals around Yu Xinghong again. They were all familiar faces, and he couldn't help but angrily said, "You are paid to eat the king, but you want to kill the king. Have your consciences been eaten by dogs?"

His only answer was hissing.

They boarded the pirate ship, were forced to this point, and had no way out, so naturally they had nothing to say.

While delaying the time, An Chongwu sent someone to report to Zichen Hall.

It's not that Yu Xinghong couldn't see his intention, but he just shook his head and smiled.

The garrison in the palace is less than three thousand, and there is no help outside the palace. These are just useless struggles.

An Chongwu is from Xiao Rongxi, so it is expected that he will not be persuaded.

He didn't want to say much, and launched an offensive directly, "Break the city gate!"

"kill--"

"kill--!"

Amidst the shouts, the vermilion lacquered door was continuously hit by huge rolling logs.

An Chongwu raised his hand, "Archer, let go!"

The arrows fell like a drizzle, only consuming a small part of the soldiers, and most of them were blocked by the shields of the group.

In addition to the limited storage of arrows, Yu Xinghong mobilized many people in order to break through the city gate as soon as possible. Soon, the wooden bolts of the red gate began to loosen.

There were not many people around An Chongwu, and most of them fell down in the battle, so he could only fight and retreat.

Reinforcements from the palace came from time to time, but the number was far from what Yu Xinghong brought, and they were constantly forced to go deep into the palace, approaching the Zichen Palace.
