high official

Chapter 723
At noon, the riots in the capital had gradually calmed down.After all, no matter what, the soldiers of the King of Han's army are still the children of the people in Beijing. Not only will they not make trouble, but they will not allow anyone to take advantage of it.

However, all parts of the capital are still heavily guarded, all the city gates are tightly closed, and officers and soldiers are patrolling and guarding, and no one is allowed to approach.

'Cyclamen' is a restaurant facing the Jinchuan Gate. Although it is not open today, the restaurant is full of people.These people wear all kinds of clothes, but after taking off their hats, most of them are bald. If they are not serious and wait for others first, who is it?

Wang Xian was standing on the second floor of the restaurant, surrounded by Xinci and Shiwan who had heard the news.

In fact, according to the previous plan, Wang Xian planned to leave the city through Shence Gate, but he changed his mind halfway.Because the King of Han must know that Zhang Min has already joined the prince, so how could they not arrange countermeasures?
If it is true as I thought, wouldn't it hit the muzzle of the gun?Thinking of this, Wang Xian couldn't help sweating, and then made up his mind, and immediately ordered the two carriages behind to leave the main force... On board were the prince, princess and all their children except the grandson.As for the others, Wang Xian couldn't care less...

At this moment, Shi Wan had brought the general history of the Shencemen incident, and everyone was afraid, and they all worshiped Wang Xian like a god.Even the kindness and strictness of his heart that have not convinced him all the time, couldn't help but secretly said, no wonder the master chose the younger brother to be the successor of the mantle, it turns out that this kid really has a bit of a master's demeanor...

But in fact, at the moment of making a decision, Wang Xian did not have enough information to support his judgment, and he even made this decision based on intuition.Of course, it is this intuition that is really valuable, because the battlefield is changing rapidly, and no one can wait for full confidence before making a decision. In many cases, generals rely on their own intuition to make decisions about themselves and the thousands of troops under their command. destiny.This intuition can be tempered through the battlefield, but it also comes from talent, which makes no sense.

At least this time, Wang Xian once again relied on his intuition to escape the catastrophe, and did not take the prince to break into the Shence Gate, otherwise it would definitely fall into Zhang Fu's hands now, why would he stand in this restaurant and think about it? One step chance?

It's just that courage is limited for a period of time. At least after going through Shence Gate, Wang Xian felt that his courage had been exhausted, and he was afraid that he would not dare to take risks again for a while.But he also knew that he had to act quickly, because King Han might return to Beijing at any time.If he can't leave before the King of Han returns to the capital, His Royal Highness will become a turtle in the urn, and there will be no chance of escape...

"We contacted Xu Yelu the day before yesterday, and he said that there is no problem, and he will do his best at that time." Shi Wan reported in a low voice.

Wang Xian was expressionless. He thought that through his painstaking efforts, he could at least gain the upper hand in the capital.Who would have imagined that the Tao is one foot tall and the devil is one foot tall, and the King of Han was not a vegetarian, so he took down Zhang Mi and controlled the right guard of the government army.The guard of the government army originally stood on the side of the King of Han, and the left guard of the government army was basically under the control of the King of Han. It can be said that the King of Han has basically controlled the situation in the capital now.

There is a saying that the situation is stronger than others, so there is no guarantee that Xu Yelu will not retreat in battle, and it is possible to use the prince's family as a nomination certificate for the King of Han...Although Xu Yelu may be very loyal, Wang Xian really dare not take the crown prince's name Life is a joke.

"Or wait until it's dark, and we'll sneak out from the base of the city wall." Shi Wan whispered his idea again, he never took unusual paths in and out of the capital.

"They will only increase their vigilance when it gets dark." Wang Xian shook his head, and said in a deep voice: "They don't know that the crown prince is in the capital at this moment, so their vigilance is more lax! If they don't take the opportunity to go out, they will have no chance at all!"

"Then let's try." Xinci gritted her teeth, and said coldly, "If that Xu betrays, we'll kill him!" He raised his head and said, "In ancient times, there were eighteen stick monks who rescued the Tang Dynasty. King, we 48 monks are not vegetarians either!"

"Don't you guys still eat meat?" Wang Xian rolled his eyes.

"That's how I compare..." Xinci rolled his eyes at him and said, "Since it's useless to shrink back, why not make a quick decision!"

"Alright!" Wang Xian gritted his teeth and finally made up his mind.Then he turned and entered the private room next door. In the private room, there were the prince, princess and Zhu Zhanqi. Can't hide it.

"Hey, Zhongde, it's all my fault." At this moment, the prince naturally understood the situation completely, knowing that it was because he was too pedantic...in fact, he was too afraid of his father blaming him for causing Wang Xian and his subordinates to miss Mr. Opportunity to make a strong move. "If we had promised you to raid Ji Gang's villa, we would not have fallen into such a dangerous situation."

"Now is not the time to reflect, and the timing was not too ripe, anyway, let's not talk about it, let's focus on what is in front of us first." Wang Xian smiled and said seriously: "Your Highness, this time people will preemptively strike others, and we will strike later. If you sit and wait, you will only become more and more passive, and you must leave the city immediately to get out of trouble!" After a pause, he whispered again: "It's just that, in this way, I'm afraid it will be a little dangerous!"

"What danger?" the prince asked in a muffled voice.

"Right now we only have the Xichuan Gate to leave..." Wang Xian said softly, "If something goes wrong here again, we won't be able to get away easily. We can only use force to break through." After a pause, he looked at the crown prince's face. His face turned pale, and he continued: "In my opinion, since this is the case, I will be prepared this time. It is best if Xu Yelu has no problems. If there is any problem, I will do it directly!" Here, let’s see our situation. If it goes well, you should follow up quickly; if it doesn’t go well, you can only transfer quickly and let the Fusi people in Beizhen hide you until the emperor returns to Beijing..."

The crown prince listened to him silently, and did not speak immediately. When Wang Xian was about to turn around, Fang said slowly: "I'm sorry Zhongde, I'm going to break my promise, I can't listen to you this time."

"What does Your Highness mean?" Wang Xian was a little surprised.

"Let me go through the barrier with you." The prince said in a deep voice.

"Yes... huh?" Wang Xian almost dropped his jaw in shock, he didn't expect the prince, who was always weak and submissive, to speak surprisingly at this moment.He hurriedly dissuaded him and said: "Your Highness, you must not do it, this is not a joke!" He sighed and said: "Although we have a lot of experts here, this is a siege, and personal force is of little use. An entire army was wiped out..."

"I know." The prince's fat face was full of firmness and he said: "That's why I want to be with you!" !"

"Your Highness, the son of a thousand gold can't sit down..." Although Wang Xian was shocked, he didn't expect that there was a diamond heart hidden under the appearance of the prince Maitreya Buddha, but he still wanted to dissuade him: "As you, go to battle in person. , is really unwise!"

"I also have my dignity." The prince said in a deep voice, "Stop talking!"

"Yes..." The crown prince gave the order, and Wang Xian could only obey it.

However, the crown prince obviously wouldn't treat his confidant and beloved general so roughly, he only heard him slowly say: "Before, the lonely man backed down to the king of Han because he was thinking about the friendship of the gang. But now he has already shown his sword, if I If you back down, wouldn't you become a bereaved dog! I don't believe that Beizhen Fusi will hide me well, but then the emperor will look down on me as well!" As soon as he raised his hand, Zhu Zhanqi hurriedly presented an old saber.

The prince took the saber, rubbed it lightly with a focused expression, and said in a voice as calm as water, but with a turbulent undercurrent: "Zhongde may have forgotten that I also came down from the Jingnan battlefield. Fighting, I led three thousand old, weak, sick and disabled, and resisted the siege of Li Jinglong's hundreds of thousands of troops. I have seen more blood than you..." The prince said and drew out the sword, the sword body was like a pool of autumn water, Dazzling, the prince stretched out two fingers, flicked on the sword, and the long sword made the sound of dragon chant.The prince said in a deep voice: "Ten years of sharpening a sword, but never trying a frost blade! Zhongde, gather the soldiers!"

"Yes!" At this moment, Wang Xian had no other choice but to follow orders.

When he assembled his men in the lobby of the restaurant, the prince appeared at the railing on the second floor in military uniform.Zhu Zhanqi wanted to help his father go downstairs, but was pushed away by the prince.

Then Zhu Gaochi, under the gaze of the soldiers, moved downstairs step by step relying on his own strength.Although his face was soon covered with sweat, his eyes were as firm as iron and not chaotic at all.That step by step is like walking in the hearts of the soldiers, and it is synchronized with their heartbeats...

When His Royal Highness finally stood downstairs, everyone's hearts were about to jump out of their chests. Their hearts seemed to be on fire. If they didn't vent it quickly, they would have to suffocate to death!
"Let's go, I will live and die with you." The prince did not make any more exciting speeches, but just said these nine short words, but all the soldiers suddenly held back their heavy breathing, and their eyes became calm Come down, and silently follow the prince to the door.

"How? How?" Zhu Zhanqi was very excited, not because of anything else, but because the prince's performance today finally matched the image of his ideal father... The young man hopes that his father is an upright father. A real man, not a coward who cowers when things happen.Before, Zhu Zhanqi even thought sometimes, if Uncle Han Wang was his father, how great would it be?
"Admiration." Wang Xian smiled, but his heart was full of turmoil and he said: "Everyone is an old fox. They pretend to be like something on weekdays, and they only show their true colors when things happen!" '

At this time, the door of the restaurant opened, and everyone filed out, and then went straight to the Jinchuan Gate...
