Empress Mi Benji

Chapter 97

Anxiety filled the air, and Li Rusi kept crying.

Zhuang Xun could only hold her other hand that did not wipe away tears and comforted her continuously: "It's okay, it's okay."

It was like slapping him in the face. Not long after he comforted him, the spies who were assigned came with bad news.

"Under the attack of the inner guards, the defenders at the south gate are about to retreat. Now rely on the terrain of the Yongguo Palace to resist."

"Husband, I'm sorry!" Li Rusi stood up suddenly, broke free from Zhuang Xun's hand, and wanted to go back to Li's house to help.

The last time was no better than this time. The last time she traveled a long way to find a needle in a haystack, she knew it was a mistake. Zhuang Xun was just a step, and she went down the step. This time she had a goal and knew that she could help, maybe it was just Very little busy.

"You... are you going to die like this?" Zhuang Xun said a little angrily, why is this person so impulsive.

"The concubine knew that the concubine was wrong, so she married into the husband's family. She should follow her husband's orders and distinguish between her husband's family and her mother's family. She should not do this kind of seemingly useless work, which is risky and may even ruin her life. But the kindness of parents' upbringing I have to report it, please forgive me." Li Rusi knelt on the ground, her body cast down, her face determined, she knew it was wrong, but she still had to do it, just like when she designed Zhuang Xun, she only cared about what she wanted.

It was only then that Zhuang Xun realized that Li Rusi was actually a very impulsive woman. She didn't have Siqin Mi's calmness and composure that I would still do my own thing when the sky fell, but she had the determination to protect her family no matter what.

She may be good at human feelings, and she can listen to words and expressions, but in fact, when it comes to people she worries about, she can't control her emotions.

Zhuang Xun seemed unable to stop her, and shouted: "Wait."

"Husband, my concubine has made up her mind. This time, I will let my husband dispose of me. Now I must go and do my best to be filial to my sons and daughters." Li Rusi did not look back. Be fearless.

"Are you going like this? At least you should take your soldiers with you, or it won't work if you go alone." Zhuang Xun thought of the imperial guards of the Yu Kingdom who were protecting him, and then thought of the deadly warning from the dead king. He couldn't help Li Rusi, in order not to let the prophecy be confirmed, he thought about it and made a decision, even if she had to die, if she couldn't, he would find someone to hold her back, and he gave Si Qin Mi a wink.

"That's right, sister, my sister has already prepared soldiers, and it won't help if you go alone." Seeing that Zhuang Xun had made a decision, Si Qinmi added beside her.

"My concubine, thank you for your kindness, my sister! This is the last time." Li Rusi made an oath and knelt down gratefully and said.

"One family, why do you talk about two families?" Si Qinmi helped Li Rusi up.

"It's my younger sister who's gone away, please forgive me." Li Rusi looked at Si Qin Mi's ferocious cheeks, and she was actually kind, and she called her sister sincerely.

After receiving Si Qin Mi's ordered soldiers and horses, it was too late to put on the armor, so Li Rusi simply put on red makeup and got on the horse. Zhuang Xun was actually very worried seeing her, and wanted to follow her without armor protection.

She should have been reminded to wear armor just now, but after seeing all the soldiers wearing armor, she remembered the armor given by her father-in-law, and suddenly became anxious about gains and losses.

But Si Qin Mi grabbed him.

"My concubine is dead, Jun Huai, don't go with me, it will be confirmed in a while, and you haven't practiced martial arts, so you are really going to die." Si Qinmi can't control Li Rusi, but Guan Zhuangxun can.

The 500 people were all cavalry, and Jidu was big. Although they were separated by two cities from east to west, they would not be too slow to arrive at Li's house if they rode horses.

After crossing the central axis, Li Rusi reined in his horse and stopped because he found a palace guard of about a thousand people.

"Kill!" Li Rusi gave the order without hesitation as the inner guards were all enemies.

Li Rusi took the lead and held a long spear. This infantry unit was rushed and killed before they realized where the cavalry came from.

In a hurry, they thought it was an ambush. The army was already in a state of disarray, and Li Rusi rushed over with a gun, and dismounted the leading general. Those who resisted, the rest were frightened and began to flee.

"We are the inner guards who were ordered to seize the south gate. We heard that the inner city of the palace was breached by King Qinghe, so we ordered all the inner guards to go to the rescue. Unexpectedly, we were blocked by the troops sent by Jidu Commander. The two sides fought fiercely, and the city army retreated. I met all of you before the imperial city." In order to survive, the general who was kicked off his horse explained everything.

"The imperial city has been breached? How many people are there?" Li Rusi said sharply, the imperial city is also flat and high walls.

"No more than 2000 people are the rare soldiers sent to Jidu by King Qinghe in the name of merchants, but the inner guards staying in the imperial city are only [-]. They have gone to the inner city." The general told Li Rusi the news he had received.

After listening, Li Rusi watched the soldiers who had returned after chasing and killing them, and gave the order: "Turn around and go to the imperial city."

"Madam Li, aren't you going to rescue Grand Master Li?" Wang Qingzheng looked at Li Rusi with admiration, his tone tended to be respectful, but thinking of what Si Qinmi had explained, he persuaded.

The god descended to the earth, and the tiger came out of the slaughterhouse. He never expected that this weak and sickly woman could directly knock down the hulking internal guard general below with a single shot. Seeing how clean and tidy the murder was, he felt chills down his spine.

"Going there is a drop in the bucket, relying on the location, the enemy can't move, and we can't move, and we can only hold back. It's better to go to the imperial city and grasp the key to the problem." Li Rusi thinks that the key is to become a king, all of which are It was planned by King Cheng.

After she took the lead, and she was Zhuang Xun's wife, no one dared to have any objections. They galloped to the front of the imperial city, and the gate was wide open, as if there was no war.

Some unidentified people in armor were retreating. Li Rusi was not in the habit of forming a formation, and when she seized the opportunity, she rushed forward and fought, just like the internal guards. After a short resistance, they were defeated.

The point of Li Rusi's spear passed by, and the lives of people ended, and the red clothes were stained with blood and became scarlet. Such bravery scared away all those who tried to resist.

When the news reached Prime Minister Gao, he couldn't believe it.

"Yu State's army? Why did the Yu State's army appear in Cheng State? Wait, the envoys brought the guards, right? There aren't many people there." Prime Minister Gao didn't panic.

"There are only a few hundred people, but they are led by a woman in a wedding dress. They are extremely fierce. Street fighting is not her all-in-one enemy. She has brought people to the inner palace." The sergeant who sent the letter showed fear, Li Rusi It looks like a ghost.

Since they were preparing to retreat, no one wanted to block the tall outer wall. After the outer wall was broken through, the defense of the inner wall was better than nothing.

"Is Zhuang Xun not here?" Prime Minister Gao said calmly.

"I don't know. The leader is a woman in red. The rest are all soldiers. They used to ride horses, but they abandoned their horses after entering the palace. Now they are slowly coming in this direction." .

The only chance to see Zhuang Xun was when they were welcoming their relatives. They pretended to be businessmen, but Zhuang Xun saw a ghost in the carriage, and then he arrived in front of Li's house. Besides, Zhuang Xun had no priority in the first place, and they didn't pay special attention to it.

"Let those sergeants who are not in Miyagi go and capture Zhuang Xun. All the sergeants in the palace retreat to the courtyard, set up an array, and defeat them with numerical superiority. Don't fight them in the streets of the palace wall. Capture Zhuang Xun. Don't forget to ask King Qinghe." Prime Minister Gao said calmly.

After issuing several orders in a row, Ji Du is responsible for the responsibility and cannot move around, nor can the internal guards move around. If they all withdraw, they can control the situation in Miyagi, but the Youguo people they brought with them have not yet withdrawn. , Can't frame King Qinghe, but trapped himself.

The guards of the Yu State led by Li Rusi have at most 500 people, and the You State team in his own palace has 2000 people, three or four times the number. Obviously, I have the advantage, and I will send someone to arrest Zhuang Xun, and prepare with both hands. The arrangement made him not very flustered.

What he was more anxious about now was where King Qinghe had gone. Someone had to bear the charge of killing the emperor. Only King Qinghe could bear this charge, because Li Pingyuan, who had not been rescued by the imperial army, was already dead in his eyes.

King Qinghe, whom he was thinking of so much, had already got into the galloping carriage, and the horses were galloping. They were still equipped with two maids, except that one maid was driving outside.

"This Jidu is really dangerous!" King Qinghe lifted the curtains of the car with his hand in his hand, and looked back at Jidu, which was no longer visible, showing a lingering fear expression.

"Your Highness, are you in such a hurry to come out? Your frame and entourage are still in Jidu." The wind was blowing loudly, there was no snow today, and the snow on the road seemed to have been melted by the sun of the previous few days, and the road was smooth.

"If you don't run, you won't be able to run away. It's scary." Qinghe Wang Changshu said with a sigh of relief.

"Your Highness said it was scary. There are some beasts that devour people." The maid felt a little funny, but couldn't laugh out loud, and couldn't understand King Qinghe's expression of escaping from hell.

"What's there to be afraid of wild beasts? The second miss of the Li family punches a tiger three times. What's scary is the human heart." King Qinghe said in a thoughtful tone.

"Your Highness has made so many arrangements, why are you leaving Jidu so willingly?" As the closest person to King Qinghe, the maid walked around after watching the arrangement of King Qinghe. When everything was about to be implemented, King Qinghe He ran away.

"Aren't you going to die? The old fox is really an old fox!" King Qinghe gritted his teeth, as if he wanted to chew the old fox in his mouth to pieces.

"What's the matter, Your Highness, if you tell me, you will feel better." Seeing that King Qinghe was extremely angry, the maid softly comforted him.

"Bao Pishan belongs to the old fox." King Qinghe held his cuffs, his eyes were about to burst into anger.

"The governor of Jidu, isn't it your Highness that you recommended him to come to Jidu? He also pays filial piety to His Highness during festivals, and His Highness has entertained him many times. In everyone's eyes, he is His Highness's man. How could he be the Prime Minister? People?" The maid exclaimed, she couldn't believe it.

King Qinghe said that the old man was a contemptuous name for Li Pingyuan, and the old fox was a contemptuous name for the prime minister. Hearing what King Qinghe meant, Bao Pishan betrayed him and joined the prime minister's sect.

"I don't know, if I know, I will make a deal with that old fox this time and let him be the governor of Jidu?" King Qinghe hated Bao Pishan's betrayal, especially when he foolishly arranged for him to be promoted. He also smashed his own bowl.

"It's a pity, because he is alone, and the success falls short." The maid said regretfully, she watched her prince cast a big net from the point to the face, and now everything is over.

"There is a problem with the core link, whatever you do is wrong, and Jidu's management is the core." Regret that I don't know people well.

His mind is not that big, the emperor has the emperor's appeal, he has his appeal, and he doesn't want to seek the emperor's position yet.

The prime minister fell and took the position of the prime minister's faction. This was his goal. The prime minister regarded him as a prey, and he also regarded the prime minister as a prey.

The goal of the two brothers was to cut down the family and strengthen the royal family. Except for the largest family in the royal family, the Gao family, they were fat in his eyes. At the same time, the political power occupied by the prime minister had already penetrated into Chengguo, and it was time to pull it out.

What the emperor meant was to use Prime Minister Gao to clean up the Li family, use him to clean up the Gao family, and finally the two brothers would divide the spoils.

He played tricks in private and used Zhuang Xun to inform Li Pingyuan, because he also understood the principle of raising a bandit's self-respect. Li Pingyuan could not die. Once Li Pingyuan died, the prime minister Gao Guozhou died again, and he would become the emperor to solve the problem. exists.

Even though he is his own elder brother, who knows what kind of state he is in after not seeing each other for so many years, and whether his brain will develop some hysteria. He believes that there are immortals. After all, there are many magic weapons left by the immortal family, such as short-distance The conch number for communication, but whether my elder brother cultivates the true way or the false way, it is hard to tell.

There is a tacit understanding between the brothers. If they haven't seen each other for such a long time, he is making sure that he doesn't want to harm his brother. How can he be sure that his brother doesn't want to harm him? After all, he is sitting on the throne. After thinking about it, it is better to have a common enemy to feel safe .

His ideal state is to replace the prime minister and fight with Li Pingyuan. Because of the mastery of the rotating western frontier army, he can compete with Li Pingyuan militarily, replacing the prime minister Gao Guozhou, and politically. He was weaker than Li Pingyuan, so he could get the support of the emperor's brother.

The prerequisite for being able to do this is that he must have the power to temporarily suppress the Prime Minister Gao Guozhou, that is, the [-] city troops under the direct control of the core Jidu commanding position.

The inner guard's loyalty to the royal family is unquestionable, saying that the prime minister passed a false edict to kill the general in the name of the queen, the inner guard's reaction was to ask the emperor for instructions, and then the two brothers could kill the prime minister.

Without this ten thousand city army, how can the inner guard hear you say that the prime minister framed people, not because of the emperor's order, after all, the prime minister has a talisman in his hand, is the head of the country, and is also the prince's grandfather.

"Shall we go home like this?" The maid was still a little unwilling.

"If there is no problem with the frontier army in the west, there is still a chance to give it a try, but I don't know, so many benefits from him are so moving, why everyone is his, go home, I don't know if the family is They are all his people too." With pain on his face, a mask of pain, he lost two chess pieces in a row, and was still instigated by someone unknowingly.

"Is there something wrong with General Mu?" The maid's eyes widened.

"Well, it's a good thing that Gu buried the nails and reported it. Gu ordered him to wait at the north gate, and he went outside the west gate." King Qinghe said desperately.

"Only relying on this point, there is no way to be sure that General Mu betrayed you, Your Highness." The maid felt that King Qinghe was suspicious.

"But the city army that was supposed to be outside Li's mansion went out to the South Avenue, so what, it's no coincidence." King Qinghe sneered, and it was enough to disobey the order.

"If the guess is wrong, the lost orphan will recognize it. If the guess is right, you said that the old fox has gone all out to get rid of Li Pingyuan?"
