Eight hundred and twentieth eight chapters of the last battle
It's early morning (about nine o'clock).??
The Tonghua Gate to the east of the Western Capital slowly opened, and the patron king Yang Lin, wearing scales and armor, appeared on the city gate tower, looking at the troops leaving the city.
The city wall was densely packed with soldiers, armed with swords and guns, who were on guard and not allowing anyone to climb the wall. They were armed with bows and crossbows, keeping a close eye on the inside and outside of the city wall.
Led by King Yang Zheng of Cai Jing, a group of more than a thousand people escorted a luxurious car out of the city. They drove very fast and seemed a little flustered.
These more than a thousand people are basically eunuchs or palace maids, all at the Qi Refining realm and above. There are about two hundred senior monks, which is already a quite powerful team!
When the city gate was opened, Wu Long and other five generals led the Xinwu Guards to meet them five miles away from the wall, but they no longer came close.
Xinwuwei personally welcomed him, which was quite grand.
More than a thousand people escorted Luan Jia out of the city. They formed a chaotic formation. Basically, they were dressed in brocade and jade. A few of them were wearing fine armor, but they were dragging their children with them. There were women, children, old and weak. These were members of the Yang family.
, including some guards, attendants, etc.
The imperial family of the Sui Dynasty, which was once proud of the world, is now no different from a refugee or a refugee if the royal clothes are thrown away. Many people's clothes are stained with blood. It is obvious that the journey out of the city was not smooth, and there was a bloody battle!
"The patron king..."
Yang Lin stood on top of the wall, with the blue sky flowing in the wind. As he looked out of the city to leave the army, an angry and gloomy voice sounded...
More than 20 middle-aged and elderly people came together from Takong.
Murong Zhili of the Murong family, Li Chaozuo of the Li family of Longxi, the three masters of the Longyuan Taoist Hall (three people), Yu Wenshu of the Shenshuigong Temple, Zen Master Jiushan of the Daxing Shan Temple, Xue Toutuo of the Kutuo Temple, and Xiao Mo of the Bayinmen Temple.
Fan Li et al.
They are all the elders, clan leaders, clan elders, worshipers, etc. of the major forces in the Western Capital City. They are basically at the late stage of the God Refining Realm and above.
This is part of the foundation of the Western Capital. Not counting the Imperial Guards of the Sui Dynasty, the Yang family can easily recruit hundreds of great monks, and various forces can easily summon dozens of top monks.
"Old Prince, why are you doing this?! Does it mean that Old Prince trusts the enemy forces who want to overthrow the Sui Dynasty, but he doesn't trust his own people either?!"
Murong Zhili asked his teacher to question him, then glared at Yang Lin angrily, sighed and asked.
"yes!"
Who would have expected that Yang Lin would respond solemnly without hesitation, leaving Murong Zhili, who was eloquent, at a loss for words.
"Hmph! The dignified king of patrons, don't forget the origin and significance of 'patron' Feng Hao. Now he has forgotten his ancestors, neglected his duties and collaborated with the enemy, and sold himself for glory!"
Li Chaozuo snorted coldly, looked at Yang Lin coldly and mocked.
"Well! The imperial court is about to collapse and the Yang family is about to be destroyed. Why talk about forgetting our ancestors and derelict in our duties and collaborating with the enemy!"
What is surprising is that Yang Lin, the patron king who always cherishes his reputation, once again nodded in agreement, but this time he added a little explanation and laughed at himself.
"So, we can also collaborate with the enemy and betray the country?"
Wearing a blue palace dress, the elegant and charming Shenshui Palace Yu Wenshu asked with a sneer.
"sure……"
Yang Lin nodded readily and responded, then looked at Yu Wenshu with a sneer and continued: "What a pity, I'm afraid that some people are unwilling to give up the power and wealth in their hands, and will do whatever it takes to betray the Lord and be ungrateful, and will not even accept the enemy's army!"
"you……"
Yu Wenshu's beautiful eyes widened and she opened her mouth without saying anything.
Yuwenshu didn't believe it. If Shenshui Palace surrendered, Li Congress would not accept it. But, would Shenshui Palace be willing to give up the glory and wealth in the Western Capital City? Don't you want to take the opportunity to negotiate terms with Lijun?
This is the Western Capital, one of the three unbreakable capitals. Don't get it easily without showing some sincerity.
This is not just the case with wealthy sects such as Shenshuigong, Murong, Longxi Li, and Daxingshan Temple, all of whom have similar ideas.
As soon as his mind changed, Yu Wenshu asked curiously: "Why is Lijun willing to accept and protect the Yang family?"
It stands to reason that the Yang family belongs to the imperial family of the Sui Dynasty. As a legacy of the previous dynasty, they would be feared by those in power and would be destroyed quickly. Why is King Li willing to take over peacefully?
According to their speculation, the Yang family probably sold them out in an attempt to monopolize the benefits promised by King Li... the title!
This is one of the main reasons why they came together.
"It's very simple. Yang doesn't want anything. If you can do it..."
Yang Lin thought for a while, looked at the people in front of him with complicated eyes and replied, before he finished speaking.
They are all in the Western Capital, they are all influential figures in the Western Capital, they are all quite old, they are all old acquaintances...
Although the Great Sui Empire is about to completely collapse, these people have served the Great Sui Empire to some extent, and Yang Lin does not want to watch them continue to go on.
Dugu Jialuo personally came forward to negotiate two options with King Li. Why did Dugu Jialuo and Yang Lin choose the first one?!
It's very simple, if these forces in the Western Capital City are still stubborn.
King Li Wuxin was very willing to see them killing each other, so as not to have to spend time and energy suppressing, weakening or causing headaches for them in the future.
Yang's emergency departure from the city was certainly to save his life, but it was also a form of exchange with King Li.
It depends on what each person thinks about these things. Of course, Yang Lin can't say it clearly!
"Then why doesn't the old prince leave?" Yu Wenshu asked with eyebrows raised.
Yang Lin looked at the crowd with great interest and responded: "Didn't you tell me? I am the patron king, how can I collaborate with the enemy and betray the country so early?"
The faces of Yu Wenshu, Murong Zhili and others changed slightly, looking rather ugly.
You must know that the patron king Yang Lin and the empress dowager Dugu Jialuo have always been the two most powerful people in the late Sui Dynasty, and among them the patron king Yang Lin was the most powerful.
Because Dugu Jialuo didn't want to take charge of things, he had to come forward this time, but he was mainly responsible for internal affairs.
The patron king Yang Lin is mainly responsible for the external affairs. The military power of the Sui Empire is basically in the hands of Yang Lin, especially the Sui Imperial Guards who are known as the strongest army in the world... Xiaoguo Holy Guard!
Of course, now, except for some of his direct descendants, Yang Lin is no longer able to control the Sui army in the Western Capital City. Otherwise, the Yang family would not have been repeatedly forced and assassinated, and had to choose to leave the city for refuge. Even on the way out of the city, they were attacked by many
Masked men in black charged and ambushed.
The minions of wealthy families and sect gangs began to show up. They were already present at all levels of the imperial court. After falling out with the Sui Dynasty, they naturally refused to obey orders.
For example, the left and right Yi guards, the left and right Xiao guards, the left and right Wu guards, the left and right Tun guards, etc., with the military power in hand, as long as they win over the morale of the army, who cares about the king of backers?!
If it weren't for the loyal and loyal Xiaoguo Holy Guard in the hands of Yang Lin, the chess pieces placed in it would not work. All the forces in the city would probably have turned the tables!
"One emperor and one courtier! However, we have no merit but hard work for the Sui Dynasty. Why does the old prince have to go against us?"
Murong Zhili could vaguely see Yang Lin's thoughts. His tone softened and he sighed with helplessness and sorrow on his face. He paused for a moment and then continued with a tactful threat:
"Leave a little bit of a sec in life so that we can see each other later. The old prince will give me some sweetness, which can be regarded as severance pay! Otherwise... will Liguo always protect the Yang family after joining Liguo?" (To be continued.)
