Chapter 174: Zhu Tianzi, the murderer(1/4)

This cry exploded in the night sky like thunder. Seeing the Imperial City guards around him dying one by one in order to resist the rebel attack, Zhu Houzhao could not help but feel a sense of despair in his heart.

But this sudden, extremely familiar shout made Zhu Houzhao's eyes light up, and he suddenly raised his head and looked in the direction of the sound.

At first glance, he saw in the distance, by the light of the torch, a very familiar figure riding a war horse, like a god of death, running headlong into the rebels.

With the swing of the iron rod in Li Huan's hand, all the rebel soldiers blocking Li Huan were swept away. There was no standing rebel soldier within a radius of one foot.

.

Such a horrifying scene only made the surrounding rebel soldiers tremble with fear. They did not dare to step forward at all, for fear of being swept away by Li Huan with a stick and being blown up like his companions.

Qiu Ju, Gao Feng, Luo Xiang, Wei Bin and others who had been protecting Zhu Houzhao all heard Li Huan's shouts. When they saw Li Huan, who seemed to be falling from the sky, leading people to rescue him, their eyes were full of excitement.

color.

Qiu Ju said to Zhu Houzhao with excitement: "Your Majesty, it's Brother Li, Brother Li is here!"

Gao Feng couldn't help but sweep one of the rebels away, and said with an excited smile: "Hahaha, Brother Li is here, we are saved, we are saved!"

Zhu Houzhao was wearing armor at this time and looked like a heroic general. Under the protection of Qiu Ju and others, he was not actually hurt. He even had the energy to bend his bow and arrow to kill one of the rebels.

Shoot.

It's just that the previous situation was too dangerous and made Zhu Houzhao despair.

But now, as Li Huan led people to kill, he directly disrupted the rebel team from the rear. In addition, Li Huan's killing like a god of murder suppressed all the rebels, and this was relieved.

Understand the pressure Zhu Houzhao and others face.

At this time, Zhu Houzhao let out a long breath. Looking at the figure that was fighting out among the rebels, covered in blood but getting closer and closer, Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but smile on his face, and said softly: "Yes, Li

Your Majesty is here, so I have nothing to worry about!"

After killing the rebels, only dozens of Jin Yiwei were left behind Li Huan, all of them covered in blood and filled with murderous intent, making people feel heart-stopping.

He suddenly reined in his horse, and as Li Huan came to kill him, the rebels who had originally besieged Zhu Houzhao and others were now restrained by Li Huan's murderous aura, and were too frightened to step forward.

On the horse, when Li Huan saw Zhu Houzhao in armor, he was stunned for a moment, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. The emperor was fine, and he was not late after all.

It is true that God is not as good as man. I am afraid that no one would have thought that such a change would happen. Fortunately, the emperor was safe and sound. Otherwise, he would have had no choice but to find a way to escape from the capital and escape.

"Your Majesty, I'm late!"

Zhu Houzhao laughed loudly and said: "It's not too late, it's not too late, the Qing family came just in time."

When Zhu Houzhao saw Wang Yangming, who was following behind Li Huan and also covered in blood, he couldn't help but feel relieved and said: "Wang Aiqing, just be fine. I'm really afraid something might happen to you."

Wang Yangming paid homage to Zhu Houzhao and said, "Thank you for your great blessing. Fortunately, Mr. Li led his men to kill him in time and saved me, so I can be fine."

While they were talking, the sound of a large group of people approaching came from a distance. Li Huan and Wang Yangming looked stern when they heard the sound.

Li Huan immediately said to Zhu Houzhao: "Your Majesty, the rebels will be here soon. I will protect you and go to find the valley. The Tengxiang Four Guards Camp is here, which is enough to deal with these rebels."

Zhu Houzhao originally had this idea and asked him to go to Jingying. To be honest, if it was said before, Zhu Houzhao was still very relieved about Jingying.

But now it is a battalion of soldiers and horses from the Beijing Camp who are rebelling. How can the emperor dare to go to the Beijing Camp again?

British Duke Zhang Mao may not have any problems, but who can guarantee that there will be no problems with the commanders of the Beijing camp? If there are no problems, it would be fine. If any of the commanders harbors evil intentions, wouldn't they fall into a trap?

Therefore, Zhu Houzhao almost instinctively chose to go to the Fourth Guard Camp of Tengxiang.

After all, compared to the Beijing camp, which was infiltrated by the civil service group like a sieve, the Tengxiang Four Guards Camp is relatively pure and trustworthy.

In the past few years, Gu Dayong has been in charge of the Royal Horse Supervisor. He has put a lot of thought into the Tengxiang Four Guards Camp. At least he has placed his confidants in many positions and has the Tengxiang Four Guards Camp in his hands.

Normally you don't see much of it, but at critical moments, this kind of control over your soldiers and horses becomes particularly important.

Looking behind him in the direction where the rebels were chasing, Li Huan said to Zhu Houzhao: "Your Majesty, let's go!"

Just when Li Huan and his men were escorting Zhu Houzhao towards the direction of the Tengxiang Fourth Guards Camp, the original calm of the capital was broken by the sudden cry of killing.

The common people in the capital had experienced what happened during the day when Li Huan led the Jin Yiwei men to kill people on the streets, and their nerves had already adapted.

But in comparison, when Li Huan led his men to kill the soldiers and horsemen, the movement in the attack on the imperial city was much smaller. After all, the total conflict was only a few hundred people.

That little movement would not have a big impact, but Changxing Hou Feng Hai, Fei Hong and others led a large army to attack the imperial city and hunt down the emperor Luan Jia. That was a team of thousands of people.

Even if thousands of people make a random move, the movement will not be small, let alone the killing.

Faced with this situation at this moment, almost all the people in the capital stayed at home, and no one would run out to seek death at this time.

Compared with these common people, the dignitaries and powerful families in the city were the most shocked.

Some people who were sensitive to the news received the news almost not long after Feng Hai led people into the city. However, many people did not react for a while after receiving the news and did not know what was going on.

Some officials even subconsciously thought that the emperor was sending troops into the city late at night to protect the imperial city.

After all, the emperor had a precedent of being assassinated. It was not impossible to mobilize a large army to protect him without any sense of security.

Some powerful people quietly sent their capable servants to inquire about the news. After all, there was such a big movement, and they were quite unsure. If they could know what happened, it would be better to be mentally prepared.

The residence of Chief Assistant Li Dongyang does not look very luxurious, it is just a decent residence.

Li Dongyang had just returned to the mansion from the imperial city not long ago. Li Dongyang was almost exhausted. He simply drank some porridge and lay down on the bed to rest.

After all, people in the imperial city these days do not get a good rest most of the time. For an old man in his sixties or seventies, one can imagine the tiredness he feels when he relaxes all of a sudden.

Seeing that the emperor woke up from his coma, the overall situation was decided, and a big stone was lifted from his heart. Li Dongyang felt that he could finally have a good sleep.

As for what will happen after dawn, we have to wait until dawn.

It was just that Li Dongyang had just laid down and was still asleep when he vaguely heard movement outside.

Outside the bedroom, Li Dongyang's son, Li Lingzheng, frowned and looked at the servant in front of him and said, "What happened? You are so flustered. My father has just taken a rest. If there is nothing important, you should not disturb him."

good."

Li Ling saw Li Dongyang's tired posture and knew that what his father needed at this moment was a quiet rest and a good sleep.

But just after a while, a servant came to report something important to his father.

The servant looked at Li Ling and said in a low voice: "Second Young Master, something serious has happened. News came from the Yamen just now that Marquis Changxing has entered the city with an army of nearly 10,000 soldiers from the Xiaoyong Battalion."

Li Ling said subconsciously: "What's the matter? Do you think that something like this should alarm my father..."

But soon Li Ling couldn't help but open his eyes wide and exclaimed: "What? Feng Hai led nearly ten thousand troops into the city at this time?"

The servant nodded.

Li Ling's face was full of horror. He came from a family of officials, and his father was the first assistant at the scene. No matter how slow his reaction was, he could still realize that it was not normal for the army to enter the city at this time.

At this time, Li Dongyang's voice came from the room: "What's the matter?"

Li Ling took a deep breath, quickly pushed the door open, walked into the bedroom, looked at his father with gray hair and a tired look on his face, took a deep breath and said: "Father, the news just came from someone from the Yamen, Changxing

Hou Fenghai..."

Li Dongyang was bending down and wearing official boots. Hearing this, he said: "Oh, what's wrong with Marquis Changxing?"

Gritting his teeth, Li Ling looked at Li Dongyang with some worry and said tremblingly: "Changxing Marquis Feng Hai led his troops into the city and headed towards the imperial city."

Li Dongyang, who was trying hard to lift up one of his official boots, suddenly felt as if someone had pressed his acupuncture point, and a look of shock and anger suddenly appeared on his face full of fatigue.

The official boots in his hands fell to the ground, and his body swayed. If Li Ling hadn't caught him with quick eyesight and quick hands, Li Dongyang would have fallen down in anger.

After taking a breath, Li Dongyang couldn't help but let out a long sigh and cried silently: "What on earth do they want to do? What do they want to do! Do they have to force His Majesty to go on a killing spree to be satisfied?"

Li Ling looked at Li Dongyang with a worried look on his face and said, "Father..."

But soon Li Dongyang cheered up and said to Li Ling: "Quick, change your clothes for your father. I'm going to the Imperial City. Your Majesty may still be in the Imperial City. I'm going to stop Marquis Changxing..."

Li Ling was stunned for a moment and said worriedly: "But father, Marquis Changxing and the others have gone crazy. If you go there, I'm afraid..."

Li Dongyang took a deep breath and said with firm eyes: "As a father, I am the chief minister of a country, and such a terrible disaster has happened. I, the chief minister, am unforgivable. I can only risk my life to repay your majesty for your kindness."

british government

Zhang Mao originally returned to the palace from the imperial city. After having dinner in the palace, Zhang Mao prepared to go to the capital camp to take charge. He had been preparing to stay in the capital camp for the past few days.

After all, the emperor entrusted the capital camp to him to look after, so he could not let down the emperor's hope.

You just need to get through this period of time, and when things are over and people calm down, you won't have to worry about anything going on in Beijing camp anymore.

It's just that Zhang Mao was not worried about any trouble in the Beijing camp.

After so many years, that is, during the Seizing of the Gate incident, someone in the Beijing camp led troops to seize the palace gate, took control of the imperial city, and helped Ying Zong regain the throne.

But that also happened when Emperor Daizong was seriously ill and dying and lost control of the court.

Other than that, there really hasn't been any trouble in Beijing Camp over the years.

With a bang, the door of the mansion was knocked open by a general.

This sudden movement directly startled the British Duke Zhang Mao, who was about to lead the British Duke's personal soldiers to the capital camp to take charge.

There was a crash. When these British soldiers saw someone breaking in, they almost instinctively drew their swords to protect the British Lord.

With a pop, the low-level general fell to his knees and cried to Zhang Mao: "Old Duke, something terrible has happened."

Zhang Mao looked at the general who was kneeling on the ground and felt that he was somewhat familiar, but for a moment he couldn't remember who he was.

Frowning, Zhang Mao said to the general: "Whose subordinate are you? Why did you come to see me in such a hurry? What happened?"

The general kowtowed and said: "The last general is Ding Zhao, a small flag officer in the Xiaoyong Camp of the Beijing Camp. He used to serve under the old Duke's account. Later, thanks to the blessing of the old Duke, he was assigned to the Xiaoyong Camp.
