The sun was shining brightly without any clouds, and with a slight breeze blowing, carrying the light scent of grass, the crowd began to slowly disperse.

"Chen Juren is so powerful! Wouldn't it be tiring to stand so high holding a jade pendant?" Just as Chen Daoxuan was slowly descending the steps to heaven, Zhu Xiu walked up to him.

Chen Daoxuan didn't have any surprises. He still looked at the road in front of him and said slowly: "Isn't it tiring to have just a jade pendant? But Mr. Zhu is in a high position, and the hat on his head is getting heavier. Don't you feel tired?

?”

"Tired! How can you not be tired?" Zhu Xiu replied, "It's just that after wearing this hat for a long time, it's like the skin can't be torn off, and it doesn't fit when you take it off."

Chen Daoxuan went around and said: "It's true that you like to wear hats, but remember not to wear the wrong hat. Take care of your own hats, don't wear hats for others, don't let others wear hats for you, and don't steal other people's hats.

Hat. This thing is either humiliating or life-threatening!"

Zhu Xiu didn't take it seriously and asked: "Did Chen Juren forget to say not to let others steal his hat?"

Chen Daoxuan quickened his pace and immediately left Zhu Xiu behind, "As long as you don't touch other people's hats, your own hat will naturally not be lost."

After saying that, he stopped fighting with Zhu Xiu, swung his big sleeves quickly, and was submerged in the sea of ​​people in an instant.

Zhu Xiu looked livid and snorted coldly, "Wear a hat? I'll make your head roll to the ground!"

Chen Daoxuan did not return to his original residence, but followed the instructions and turned a few blocks to the northwest corner of the capital. He looked up and saw the "Jin Yiwei" and walked in without saying a word.

As soon as he entered the door, an old eunuch came forward to greet him. The man saluted and said, "Mr. Chen!"

Chen Daoxuan waved his hand and said: "No need to be polite, just take me to see that person."

The old eunuch stretched out a hand and said, "Sir, please come inside. Your Excellency has been waiting inside for a long time."

Under the guidance of the old eunuch, Chen Daoxuan came to the inner hall.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw the person he wanted to see, it was Jinyi Commander Lu Bing.

People who know Lu Bing always rate him very highly, he is loyal and courageous, ruthless and cautious.

But what surprised him was that there were other people around Lu Bing. Except for one person he had never met, everyone else was familiar to him.

One is the Grand Master Ji Ming, and the other is actually the Emperor Zhu Zhang. The other person, judging by his attire, must be the Grand Master Lu Wenhai who has not been seen for a long time.

Chen Daoxuan bent down and saluted: "I am here to see you, Your Majesty."

Zhu Zhang raised his hands and said, "Ai Qing, please get up quickly. Don't worry about these chores at this critical moment."

At this time, Lu Bing held the Xiuchundao in his hand and said, "This is Grand Master Lu Wenhai. He is secretly controlling the Jin Yiwei. The previous actions were all ordered by him."

Lu Wenhai squinted his eyes, smiled and nodded to Chen Daoxuan.

"What about my two friends?" Chen Daoxuan asked hurriedly.

"They were arranged by me." This is what Ji Ming said. "Master Lu and I have long seen Zhu Xiu's wild ambitions, but without any actual evidence, we can only make plans secretly and dare not act rashly."

Zhu Zhang was very upset at this time, "It's all my fault for being confused. I thought that with the brotherhood between me and him, he would definitely not plan to seize the throne, but I didn't expect... Alas!"

Chen Daoxuan said: "Your Majesty, you don't have to blame yourself too much. Since it has happened, let's quickly think about how to deal with it."

At this time, Lu Bing took out a map and spread it out. It was a map of the capital city.

He pointed at the map and said: "I have sent Jin Yiwei to block the gate leading to the outside of the city, but we can only guarantee that we will hold on until tomorrow morning. In other words, we must deal with Zhu Xiu and others tonight!"

"Our only advantage now is that although Zhu Xiu is powerful, most of his energy is focused on the border, and there is not much deployment in the imperial city. As long as Zhu Xiu is killed in the imperial city, there is still room for redemption.

"

Zhu Zhang frowned, puzzled, "Even if the city gate is blocked, can't we still send messages by flying pigeons? How can we calm down the riots on the border if we deal with Zhu Xiu?"

Lu Wenhai said at this time: "Did your Majesty forget that person?"

Except for Chen Daoxuan who was confused, everyone else looked at each other and suddenly realized.

Lu Bing continued to explain, "Now most of the Jinyi Guards in the entire capital have been withdrawn. There are still a large number of troops in the Royal Palace Guards, the Inspectorate, and the Dali Temple. All we need to do is to disperse these scattered troops.

Gather together to fight against Zhu Xiu's army."

Lu Wenhai spoke again at this time: "Wei Chen has sent people to Dali Temple and asked them to guard the periphery of the palace to resist Zhu Xiu's army. As for the Inspectorate..."

Ji Ming spoke for him: "The Inspectorate has become Zhu Xiu's pawn and needs to be careful."

Zhu Zhang's heart condensed and he asked slowly: "How many soldiers and horses do we have? How many people are there on the other side?"

Lu Bing opened his mouth and replied: "We have five people in total.

Thousands of guards, the opponent has seven thousand."

"What a traitor!" Even Zhu Zhang was stunned by the news. "I didn't expect that such a large number of traitors would quietly gather under my nose. It's all my fault for being confused!"

Chen Dao

Looking for His Majesty the Emperor, we will take advantage of this and wait for opportunities in the dark to slowly wear down his troops."

He glanced at Zhu Zhang for a moment and continued: "His Majesty the Emperor is needed as bait."

Everyone's eyes were fixed, as if they had never heard of such a joke. The emperor was a man of wealth and someone actually proposed to use the emperor as bait. It was so ridiculous. If something happened, who would bear the disaster?

?

But when Chen Daoxuan revealed his plan again, no one had any objections.

Lu Bing said: "Time is running out and we need to act quickly. I took the rest of the Jinyi Guards and rushed to the palace to meet up with the Imperial Guards and Dali Temple. Taishi Lu and Master Ji will act separately according to the established plan! Let's go!"

Following Lu Bing's order, everyone began to get busy.

At this moment, Chen Daoxuan was sitting on a carriage looking at the round moon in the sky, feeling uneasy. Maybe he might never see such a beautiful moon again tonight, but what really made him so uneasy was what happened to the girl in his hometown.

What to do? This disappointment will last a lifetime.

Chen Daoxuan wiped his tears and continued on his way without thinking about these things.

——

Zhu Xiu was sitting in his mansion, playing with a luminous pearl in his hand. In front of him were the ministers he had secretly won over over the years.

"Report! The spies are here to report that there is a carriage parked in front of Dali Temple!"

"Is the information true?" Zhu Xiu stood up suddenly!

"Absolutely true!"

"I finally found Zhu Zhang, the dog emperor. Hurry up and bring a thousand troops to help me destroy Dali Temple!"

"yes!"

Zhu Xiu waved his robe and said energetically, "Everyone, we have been dormant for so many years. Now everything is ready and all we need is the east wind. Today, you must either become king or die! Those who are willing to rebuild Xuanling with me will rise up!"

All the ministers stood up and shouted: "I will go through fire and water without hesitation!"
