"Tait..."

A chaotic footsteps came from the front and back, some came from outside the city, some came from the alley behind, some came from the city wall, and above the city tower.

In just a blink of an eye, General Hong was surrounded by dozens of tall and mighty Jinwu Guards. On the high city wall, a row of Jinwu Guards pulled a longbow at him.

The arrows with cold light were all aimed at General Hong and his group below, with a domineering momentum and murderous intent.

This is a trap!

This thought clearly appeared in General Hong's mind.

He felt a chill rising from the soles of his feet, his whole body was cold, as if he was falling into an ice cellar. The tall black horse under his crotch made an uneasy neighing sound, and his long ponytail was shaking.

The dozens of soldiers he brought were holding the long swords in his hands tightly and waiting for the battle.

The air at the city gate suddenly became tense and was about to break out.

The ordinary people in front of and behind the city gate were frightened away in panic, and even the shops and restaurants near the city gate closed the doors, for fear of being implicated.

It was clear that the sun was bright and warm at noon, but General Hong's forehead was filled with a thin cold sweat.

General Hong gritted his teeth and ordered immediately: "Break through!"

His face was as deep as water. He had guessed that other people who went to the three city gates of the east, south and north had probably encountered the same dilemma.

The situation is not good!

General Hong's heart was filled with dark clouds. He pulled out his sword resolutely, and a bloodthirsty fierce light flashed through his eyes, and he said to himself: You either die or me today...

"Bang!"

Suddenly, a thunderous gun rang out across the city gate, deafening.

The next moment, General Hong's forehead had a blood hole the size of a longan.

"General!" The soldiers behind him called out in a flash, watching General Hong fall from his horse on his back, and his heavy body fell to the ground, which shocked the dust on the ground.

Ghostly blood flowed out of the blood hole in his forehead, and soon a bright red blood stain formed on the ground.

On General Hong's body, his eyes were covered in turbid and dim, and he died with his eyes open.

In just a blink of an eye, General Hong died just like that. Even if he didn't test his pulse, everyone clearly realized this.

Gu Yuan on the city wall was holding a flintlock rifle, and a wisp of white smoke was rising from the black muzzle.

When the wind blew, a faint smell of gunpowder filled the air, which was even more pungent than the bloody smell.

Gu Yuan looked down at General Hong's body below and said coldly to the soldiers and horses brought by General Hong, saying word by word:

"King Kang rebelled, and you and others immediately surrendered. Those who violated the order will be killed without mercy."

His narrow and long phoenix eyes were powerful without anger, and a sharp sword-like aura lingered between his eyebrows.

All the Jinwu Guard soldiers, including Fan Beiran, shouted in unison: "Those who violate the order will be killed without mercy!"

Behind the city gate, General Hong's body was so wide-eyed and wide-eyed on the ground, which made this sentence very intimidating.

The murderous intent is fierce.

However, the team of soldiers brought by General Hong did not surrender. One of them raised his knife and shouted "Quick breakout". He grabbed the horse's belly and waved it hard to the Jinwu Guard closest to him with a knife. The sword light flashed...

The others also waved their swords at each other, revealing a sense of unswerving determination.

"Swoosh swish swish!"

A rain of silver arrows fell rapidly from the city wall like a meteor. Some arrows pierced through human flesh, some arrows were swept away with one knife, and some arrows fell into the air...

There were shouts of killing, screams, and the sound of weapons colliding everywhere.

"So quickly and quickly." Gu Yuan said in a simple manner and left these four words with full authority to Fan Beiran.

He himself took a clairvoyance, looked at the direction of the east, south and north city gates, turned a deaf ear to the various sounds around him, and was calm and composed.

The smell of blood in the air became more and more intense, making people feel nauseous.

After a while, the sound of weapons handing over behind stopped, and a "dengdeng" footsteps came quickly.

"A Yuan, go ahead!"

With Fan Beiran shouting, he threw a candle-sized signal flare to Gu Yuan.

Gu Yuan raised his hand to catch the signal flare without looking at it, and there was still some blood on the signal flare.

But Gu Yuan didn't care at all and immediately ignited the signal flare lead.

"call out!"

Soon, an orange-red light rushed into the sky, and with a "bang", it suddenly exploded in the sky, as if there was another sun in the blue sky.

Almost everyone in the Gyeonggi area can see this signal flare in the sky, but ordinary people thought it was a firework, while those officials knew it was a signal flare, Lenovo Death Knell, Lenovo teams of imperial guards surrounded the various prefectures, and everyone felt a sense of uneasiness.

At this time, King Kang Chuyou, who was in the foothills of Tianxi Mountain, also saw this signal flare that looked like the rising sun.

He unconsciously tightened the reins, and the dark horse under his crotch raised his front hooves with a little excitement.

"Prince, it's a signal flare!"

His Changsu raised his hand and pointed to the direction of the capital to the east, shouting excitedly, his voice trembling with excitement.

"The time is just right!" Chu You took out a pocket watch and looked at the time. His thin lips curled, and a look of relief appeared on his face.

Before the moment, it was the time they had calculated in advance.

This year's imperial tomb sacrifice, Empress Dowager Yuan, who was placed under house arrest in Shou'an Palace, never came with him. This was actually a matter that Empress Dowager Yuan and Chu You expected, and was something they could not afford.

Chu You specially arranged for Empress Dowager Yuan to take charge of the overall situation in the capital, and the empress dowager came forward to summon the female relatives of noble officials into the palace and put them in house arrest as hostages. Next, as long as the death knives representing the death knives of the emperor's death ring, the capital will be in chaos, and the emperor and Chu Yi and his son are not in the capital. Empress Dowager Yuan is the most noble person in the capital. With her order, part of the Hu Ben army who stayed in the capital can take advantage of the chaos and take down the capital without bloodshed.

Now, since General Hong sent out a signal flare, it means that everything goes well in the capital, and the capital is already under their control.

It's only his side.

As long as he can take down the emperor, everything will be natural.

He can take the emperor and replace him. The throne should belong to him, and he is the heir to the throne that the late emperor belongs to!

Thinking of it, Chu You's heart was hot, and his narrow eagle eyes were even more dazzling, which made the dark horse under his crotch turn around, facing the soldiers behind him, and said aloud: "The Hu Ben Army obeys the order!"

The three thousand armored Hu Ben Army behind him stood in a neat square formation waiting for his order, with a tall body, full of swords and guns, and his bright eyes were all looking at Chu You.

The soldiers knelt down on one knee and bowed with fists, shouting in unison: "The last general (marked) is here!"

This kneeling, the shouting was so powerful that it was loud, and the sound was like a drum, with sharp energy and murderous aura.

The golden sunlight fell on Chu You. The tall young man with a tall figure was dignified and sharp eyes. He looked around the thousands of soldiers of the Tiger Army in front of him from the high horse. He looked at the arrogant and arrogant manner of dominating the world.

He has endured it for a year, just one year, and it seems like he has lived half his life!

He still clearly remembered that half a year before the death of the late emperor, he felt that he was old and weak, so he secretly told him about the "Taizu's Notes", about Fengyang's life span, and about the invincible Shangyang Army left to Fengyang by Taizu.

"Ningzhi, Fengyang used this Shangyang army to restrain me for the rest of his life, and forced me to make a poisonous oath in front of the Taizu Spirit. He could not attack her in this life. He learned from his mistakes and gained wisdom. I secretly raised a Tiger Army in recent years, which is an elite army."

"I have tried to depose the prince for several times for you. Your eldest brother is narrow-minded and may be able to hold grudges. After he takes office, it will be time to settle the old accounts. You must be careful of him."

"Today I will hand over this elite Tiger Army to you. You must always remember that the Tiger Army is your trump card. You must not use it unless you have to."

The late emperor guessed correctly. His eldest brother Chu Qi had been guarding against him. Since he ascended the throne last year, he had not allowed him to contact military affairs. In just one year, he was demoted from prince to county prince.

Since Chu Qi can't tolerate him, he can't sit still and wait for death!

Chu You waved his arms and shouted with great fighting spirit: "Let's set out to the imperial tomb!"

With this Hu Ben Army, he felt like he had magical weapons and the reliance on fighting with Chu Qi.

"Yes, Prince!" Thousands of soldiers of the Tiger Ben Army clasped their fists to take the order, and their momentum became even higher, and each of them showed their eyes.

King Kang is only one step away from the throne. As long as today's plan goes well, these people will have the merit of following the dragon, and their future will be immeasurable!

Chu You clamped his legs and leaned forward, and the dark horse under his crotch sped out.

He was ahead of him, full of energy, and a cold and arrogant smile appeared on the corner of his lips, as if the shackles that had been stuck on him for more than a year were about to be completely broken free.

Thousands of soldiers followed with great momentum, sweeping all the way to the imperial tomb, rumbled the ground and dust flew all over the sky.

"Bang!"

Chu You waved his whip and threw it on the horse's buttocks. The agile horse galloped faster, with four hooves churning and a long mane flying.

Chu You rushed forward for two miles and saw the glazed tiles and the red walls of the imperial tomb appeared in front of him. The solemn and magnificent imperial tomb was very eye-catching and prominent in this green mountains and green waters.

"Wow—"

Chu You stopped his horse at the dismounting monument.

The soldiers of the Hu Ben Army who were accompanying behind also stopped together. Chu You's long follower trotted forward and knocked on the new red door at the entrance of the imperial tomb with a "tick" sound.

Chu You looked at the vermilion red door ahead, his eyes a little dazed and his eyes were sore.

The coffin of the late emperor was buried in this imperial tomb, and he watched the late emperor be buried with his own eyes.

At this moment, Chu You's ears heard the earnest advice to Chu You before his death:

"Ningzhi, if your eldest prince is unkind, you don't have to be afraid of brotherly feelings. Don't suffer in vain! If it weren't for your Fengyang Aunt, this throne should have belonged to you."

"But remember to 'act' and be cautious!"
