Chapter 610

Chu Qiao went straight to Xuanwu Gate with the [-] elites that had assembled earlier. General Lang, other generals, captains, and generals who were not on duty were all taken by Chu Qiao, so the big courtyard seemed empty and desolate.Liu Hongji took off his armor by himself, put on brand new clothes, went to the yard, poked the unsheathed horizontal knife into the frozen ground with a bang, looked at the persimmon tree that had lost all its leaves, He let out a long breath.

All the soldiers were sent out by him to follow Chu Qiao to the Xuanwu Gate to save her, and he was the only one left in the yard, which seemed very lonely.

"You are a bare tree, I am a bare man."

Liu Hongji looked at the tree and laughed at himself and said to himself: "At the beginning of the Taiyuan uprising, I followed Your Highness, and killed the enemy together. Your Highness is noble but likes to charge forward. Almost every time I hold a spear and follow closely. By his side, I don't know how many feathered arrows and sabers have been blocked for His Highness in these years. Counting, most of the injuries on my body are left at that time. It is because there are too many injuries on my body. It is rainy and cold, and there is no pain anywhere on my body. Your Majesty took pity on me, let me guard Chang'an and be named Duke of the county, which is considered a great honor."

He paused for a moment and said sadly: "Today, His Highness is not surrounded by me to shield arrows, swords and spears, and I don't know who it is... I think it must be Yuchi, he is a first-class general in the world, there is no one in the world." With him by his side, His Majesty will not suffer even the slightest harm. Yuchi and I are both shields in front of His Majesty's body, but they cannot stop His Majesty's wrath..."

"Your Highness...you really took this wrong step. If you want to fight for a minister, you think it is beyond the rules, let alone it is not a fight but a rebellion now?"

He raised his head and looked at the sky, smiled and said: "Come bare, go bare, life is like the floating clouds in the sky, since the sky doesn't want to keep the clouds, how can the clouds stay if they want to stay? It's just a breeze that can blow away all the fame and fortune, that's all..."

He slowly pulled out the horizontal knife pierced into the frozen ground and put it on his neck. Just when his wrist was about to exert force, a young eunuch hurried in with a golden scroll in his hand. Seeing Liu Hongji putting a knife on his neck, he was startled.He screamed as he ran, "General Liu, stop, His Majesty has ordered it!"

Liu Hongji was stunned, and then said to the little eunuch: "I think His Majesty gave me death, don't come here and splash your blood."

"Since you always have to die, why didn't General Liu listen to the imperial decree before dying?"

The little eunuch did not dare to move forward, and said in a somewhat eager tone: "Could it be that the general is in a hurry at this moment?"

Liu Hongji was stunned, smiled and asked, "It's funny what you say. If that's the case, I'll listen to your persuasion, kneel down and listen to the imperial decree before you die."

"Holy God"

The little eunuch cleared his throat and said solemnly: "What will happen to you for the felony of conspiracy to murder? Even if you only know about it and don't report it, you can't pay off the crime. You are so late in sending troops to the crown prince, obviously you have treason in your heart." Nian, I am full of indignation! You can't be loyal to the king's salary, what kind of face do you have to live in mediocrity?"

The little eunuch paused slightly when he read this, and his expression suddenly became ugly.He thought that he was in a hurry to save an important court official, so that he might not be able to forge a good relationship in the future.What he said before was nothing more than trying to stop Liu Hongji from committing suicide.Who would have thought that this imperial decree really meant this, and he felt panic and regret in his heart.He glanced at Liu Hongji, but saw that there was no surprise on his face, and he just listened calmly.The expression on his face changed when he read the words "I have treason in my heart and I am full of indignation", and then it turned into a wry smile.

The little eunuch said bad luck in his heart, the first time he came out to pass the decree, it turned out to be really bad luck for the death of important officials of the court.

"But every time I think about the 97 injuries on your body, they seem to be densely covered with ravines, roads and bones. They are all traces of military exploits carved by me in the battle. If I kill you, I will feel very uncomfortable. Liu Hongji, get out of the palace immediately Seeing me, I really want to hear your explanation! If your explanation doesn't make sense, I won't be too late to kill you!"

After reading this sentence, the little eunuch immediately smiled, stepped forward to help Liu Hongji get up and said with a smile: "General Liu, what is your servant saying that you are in a hurry to die? Your Majesty is nostalgic. Didn’t you forget everything? Quickly, quickly, General Liu packs up and follows the servants to attack to face the saint.”

After Liu Hongji received the imperial decree, the shock in his heart has not yet calmed down.

How could His Majesty spare me?How could His Majesty spare me?

Suddenly, I remembered that Lieutenant General Chu Qiao had said that he had never told His Majesty that he was not good at all.Thinking about it, His Majesty must have felt that although he was connected with the King of Qin, he still did not dare to seek rebellion after all, or Chu Qiao had said a lot of good things for himself in front of His Majesty. Another chance came.Your Majesty wants to listen to his own explanation, but how can he explain this kind of thing?

The king of Qin knew that he had the intention of treason, as His Majesty said, just a crime of knowing and not reporting, there is no redemption for a hundred deaths.

It's just that since His Majesty let him enter the palace, he naturally couldn't die anymore.

"There is nothing to fix, I will follow you into the palace."

Following the little eunuch, Liu Hongji suddenly remembered something and asked, "May I ask how many decrees have been issued by Your Majesty? Who else has the decrees besides me?"

"Left Guard General Pei Chengchun, Right Ling Junwei General Xin Wenli, plus you, and those who go outside the city will be given a copy of the imperial decree. As for the slaves and maidservants, I don't know."

Seeing that Liu Hongji was being polite to him, the little eunuch felt warm and said everything he knew.

"Oh……"

Liu Hongji was thinking as he walked, wondering if Xin Wenli and Pei Chengchun had the same meaning as what he had received.The three people who came out of His Royal Highness King Qin's army chose to betray King Qin today and serve His Majesty by coincidence. They don't know how miserable and helpless King Qin will feel now.

……

……

Outside the city gate of Xi Nei Yuan, the 1 emperors rushed over from Yong'an Palace like a tide. Fang Xuanling was now in a dilemma. If you seal the gate of West Inner Garden, then your [-] troops and His Royal Highness Qin Wang's nearly [-] soldiers will all be stuffed with dumplings and blocked in the narrow area from Xuanwu Gate to the city gate. The exhaustive rain of arrows rained down, and these tens of thousands of people had no other end than being shot into hedgehogs.

But if he didn't go to the city to support His Highness King Qin, and his troops were restrained and he couldn't divide his forces to attack the imperial city, then today's success would come to naught. Fang Xuanling never imagined how the strategy he had formulated would become so passive and embarrassing at the critical moment.If you advance, you will die, if you defend, you will die. It is a dilemma.Unless the imperial army pouring out from the construction site of Yong'an Palace had not had time to block the back, the army immediately turned around and rushed out of the city to join Duan Zhixuan in the eastern capital.

This is the only way to survive. With the prestige and talent of His Royal Highness the King of Qin, together with the abilities of Qu Tutong, Yin Kaishan, Tang Jian and others, it is not impossible to make a fortune. If we proceed step by step, we may not be able to compete with His Majesty after three to five years.

But now His Royal Highness Qin Wang just refused to order the withdrawal of troops, Fang Xuanling remembered that he almost rushed into the city and asked loudly what Qin Wang was waiting for!

Fang Xuanling plotted one after another, but he was indeed not a qualified general.When the smoke and dust billowed from the northeast and saw the troops of the imperial army rushing towards him, he stomped anxiously but couldn't think of a good way.Seeing the main general, the subordinates were already panicked, and their hearts became even colder.

Tang Jian stood aside and looked at the eager look on Fang Xuanling's face, couldn't help but shook his head and said, "Qiao Song, why don't I take the lead?"

Fang Xuanling was so panicked that he forgot that Tang Jian had a serious background in military affairs. He took Tang Jian's hand and said, "That's great! You lead the troops to block the imperial army, and I'll go into the city right away." Advise the King of Qin to withdraw immediately. If you stay in the green mountains, you will not have to worry about no firewood, as long as you return to Daying, the eastern capital, the world is still advisable!"

Tang Jian nodded and said: "You just take care of yourself, I can stop it for an hour at most, if you can't persuade the King of Qin within an hour, then...then let the soldiers tie the King of Qin Walk!"

"Tied?"

Fang Xuanling was startled, then nodded vigorously and repeated: "Tied!"

General Xin Wenli, the right leader of the army, put Li Shimin into the gate of the city, and he felt uneasy all the time. When the king of Qin asked him where the prince was, he hid behind the battlements and only dared to show half of his face to answer.Although the city wall was tall and the distance was not very close, Xin Wenli clearly felt the contemptuous and disdainful look on his face from His Royal Highness King Qin.This look pierced his heart like a knife, and it was as if he had been slapped severely in public.

Before His Royal Highness King Qin entered the city, he raised his jaw and said to Xin Wenli: "I don't blame you for retreating before the battle. I have too many things to do. It's not just a random person who has the courage to accompany Gu to do it, nor is it just a random person. You are qualified to accompany Gu to do it. You can hide on the city wall with peace of mind, and just come out after the fight. If Gu wins, I will not kill you if you don’t block the gate of Gu entering the city. If Gu loses, Your Majesty will not kill you if you think about it because you didn't go to battle with Gu."

Li Shimin smiled boldly at the time and said, "A tortoise always thinks that the safest place is the shell on its back. How could it know that when the dragon flies into the sky, the huge waves rolled up can break mountains and crack rocks?"

Thinking of these words, Xin Wenli's face became hot.

The tortoise... King Qin actually thinks of himself that way.

Just when he was upset and anxious, Nayan Peiji led a group of forbidden generals to kill him from Yong'an Palace. In an instant, Xin Wenli knew that King Qin must be defeated this time.Thinking of the saying that the tortoise always thinks that the safest place is the shell on its back, Xin Wenli rushed over with his men and horses in his mind.
