In Zhao Huan's apartment, dragon spear guards wearing black light armor and holding white-haired spears lined up neatly and solemnly in the courtyard.
Zhao Yi took Zhao Huan's two sons and hid behind a corner to peek, and saw Zhao Huan lecturing the Dragon Spear Guards. Although he didn't know what was going on, he felt the dull and depressing atmosphere.
"Report——"
A soldier came running from outside and said: "Commander Long, all the gates of Changsui City are closed tightly, and half of the guards at each gate have been sent to Jing Palace!"
Zhao Huan asked: "What city gate is closed in broad daylight? Have you found out where the order came from?"
"The order came from the imperial prison! I heard from the brothers in the imperial prison that they discovered that the secret agents of the Southern Zhou Dynasty were going to be active in Changsui City, so they wanted to close the door and arrest people. But... I didn't see anyone from the imperial prison searching the city.
, but they all went to Jing Palace!"
Zhao Huan looked at the middle-aged man with a feather fan and silk turban beside him and said, "Mr. Lian, what is Chen Xi, the imperial eunuch, trying to do? Rebellion?"
Lian Zhongyi shook the folding fan and said: "The city gate is closed. Even if the troops outside the city are approaching, they will not dare to break in. Otherwise, it will be a serious crime of beheading. But... Chen Xi did this, although he isolated the imperial troops outside the city.
, but can a few hundred of his subordinates rebel by just relying on him to order a prison sentence?"
Zhao Huan said: "It seems that he bribed the city gate defenders, so there are thousands of them in total."
Lian Zhongyi shook his head and said: "There are three thousand imperial guard battalions guarding the Jing Palace, and there are one thousand Yulin troops in front of the emperor..."
Speaking of this, Lian Zhongyi's expression froze, and the swinging folding fan suddenly stopped and said: "No! The commander of the Yulin Army is the sword-holder of Da Sima Wu!"
Zhao Huan also reacted and said in shock: "If Wu Zhijian and Chen Xi join forces, they will cooperate inside and outside, and the three thousand imperial guards camp may not be able to stop them!"
Lian Zhongyi sighed: "The emperor has not woken up for three days and the heir has not been established. It is possible!"
Zhao Huan frowned and suddenly shouted: "He Zhi! How many Dragon Spear Guards can be mobilized now?"
He Zhi cupped his fists and said: "The Dragon Spear Guard troops are all practicing outside the city, and only a thousand people in the house can move."
Zhao Huan said: "Then bring these thousand people into the palace with me to protect you!"
"yes!"
"Wait..." Lian Zhongyi held down Zhao Huan's arm and said: "We have missed a link. If Wu Zhijian really wants to join forces with Chen Xi to force the palace, it will not only be the Yu Lin Army and Zhao Prison.
Wu Zhijian has many more private soldiers in his house than our Thousand Dragon Spear Guards..."
Zhao Huan said seriously: "Mr. Lian, your majesty has treated me with great kindness. How could I ignore your majesty's life and death because of my greed for life and fear of death?!"
Lian Zhongyi shook his head and said: "You are mistaken. What I mean is that Wu Zhijian hates you very much. If he is really involved, is it possible that you are also in his plan?"
Lian Zhongyi's reminder made Zhao Huan's pupils shrink.
Zhao Huan said in surprise: "Sir, are you saying...Wu Zhijian will take advantage of the emptiness in my house and send his private soldiers to deal with the family members in my house?"
Lian Zhongyi solemnly said: "In extraordinary times, we have to be on guard!"
Hearing this, Zhao Huan paced back and forth, thinking hard. At this time, his eyes met Zhao Yi and his sons who were peeking over here.
"If you want to listen, come and listen, don't hide it!"
Only then did Zhao Yi come over with the two young masters.
Zhao Yi's life in the past two years has been completely different from before. His nutrition has kept up with him, and at the age of twelve, he is already only one head shorter than Zhao Huan.
Zhao Huan said: "Zhao Yi, you heard everything just now, tell me, is it possible that the enemy will come to deal with my family?"
Zhao Yi thought for a while and said: "You have never asked me about my past. Now I can tell you that before I met you under the cliff two years ago, my companions and I were divided into two teams to perform tasks. The tasks of my team
It is to ambush a group of horse thieves, and the mission of the other team is to kill all their families."
Zhao Huan looked stern, turned to face the Dragon Spear Guard, and said: "Mr. Lian, you leave five hundred Dragon Spear Guards to guard the house! He Zhi, you lead five hundred Dragon Spear Guards to follow me into the palace to escort me!"
"yes!"
Lian Zhongyi said worriedly: "You bring five hundred people into the palace, which is too few!"
"There are only so many people in total, there is nothing we can do." Zhao Huan waved his hand and made a decision, saying: "Your kindness is important, and your family is also important, so everyone takes care of their own half!"
Zhao Yi stood up and said: "Let me go with you!"
Zhao Huan glanced at Zhao Yi, shook his head and said, "You stay at home with Mr. Lian."
Zhao Yi insisted: "I want to protect you!"
Zhao Huan also insisted: "You are too young."
"She's not that old either." Zhao Yi pointed to a girl standing next to He Zhi.
Zhao Huan followed Zhao Yi's gaze and said, "Taozhi... If I remember correctly, she is two years older than you. At your age, the difference between two years is huge!"
Zhao Daodao: "She went on an expedition with you when I entered the mansion. She was only as old as me at that time."
Yang Taozhi crossed his arms and interjected: "Little one, when will you be able to beat me? Long Shuai will take you on an expedition."
Zhao Yi was irritated and said: "Then try it now!"
"Time is running out, don't make a fuss." Zhao Huan held Zhao Yi's shoulders and said, "You are no match for her. If you don't believe it, you can compare when you come back this time."
As he spoke, Zhao Huan approached Zhao Yi and pointed at his two sons standing behind Zhao Yi.
These two sons, one is seven or eight years old, and the other is three or four years old.
Zhao Huan said: "My wife took the second and fourth children to the temple to pray for blessings. If the enemy really comes, the boss and the third child will be in danger. Zhao Yi, they are my most important people. If you really want to protect me,
Then protect them for me."
Zhao Yi knew that any further entanglement would delay Zhao Huan's action, so he stopped entangled, nodded heavily, and said: "Whoever wants to hurt them, just step on my body!"
Zhao Huan patted Zhao Yi gently on the shoulder and left with the five hundred dragon spear guards.
When the Dragon Spear Guard passed in front of Zhao Yi, Yang Taozhi stopped for a moment and said with a cold face: "You are not old, and your tone is not small. I hope you will do what you say and don't wet your pants when you see the enemy.
"
"you!"
When Zhao Yigang was about to argue, a pair of small hands grabbed him.
"Zhao Yi, don't argue with my sister, she is really powerful!"
"Eldest Young Master..."
Zhao Yi turned around and looked at eight-year-old Zhao Cheng.
Zhao Cheng held his younger brother Zhao Yan, smiled at Zhao Yi and said: "I know you don't like to be with children like us. If you feel bored, just teach Zhao Yan martial arts! Zhao Yan told me that you
He is very handsome when wielding a knife and his sister when wielding a sword. He also wants to practice martial arts..."
Zhao Yi looked at Zhao Yan, whose legs were not as long as his, and said: "The third young master is still so young..."
Zhao Cheng said: "You were unhappy when my father said you were too young just now. How can you say my brother is too young now?"
"Aren't you just slapping yourself in the face?"
Zhao Yi was stunned for a moment, bowed slightly to Zhao Cheng and Zhao Yan, and said: "The eldest young master is right, Zhao Yi will be taught. Okay, I will teach the third young master!"
