"The city is broken, the city is broken, the Yan army has entered the city!"
The people were running all over the streets in panic. An old man in his sixties staggered a few steps as if the sky had fallen, and fell to the ground. Then, a large group of cavalry galloped past him, and the sound of horse hooves "
"Crash!" The people at the front of the team were frightened. The person at the front of the team was holding a big flag in the wind, which was exactly the word "Yan".
"Oh my God, the Yan army has entered the city!"
The old man yelled twice more crazily, ran to a nearby house and stood under the dripping eaves, watching the Yan army, regardless of whether they were on foot or cavalry, galloping past him like a flood. After the old man yelled twice, he was distracted.
Suddenly he woke up and thought about it carefully: "Yan Jun's entry into the city... what does it have to do with a bad old man like me?"
The old man became obedient and stood close to the wall, no longer shouting or moving. When he turned around, he suddenly found a hole in the window lattice next to him. The owner was leaning against the window with one eye exposed, looking at the street.
The movement above suddenly gave me a funny feeling.
Ever since Gu Wang Zhu knew that the Four Emperors didn't mind that he had abandoned the Xuanfu and defected to the emperor, the psychological balance had tilted towards Zhu Di. To be honest, the reason why he defected to Jinling in the first place was because he expected that King Yan would not
It may succeed, but King Yan has no power to fight against the emperor, so he can only choose the emperor's side.
He doesn't have many soldiers and horses, so he doesn't care about cutting off the vassal, but what does cutting off the vassal mean? Cutting off the vassal means cutting off the vassal king's troops and horses, and cutting off the lord's right to lead troops. The vassal king is just a prince, not a vassal king.
But his "most benevolent and filial" nephew was too ruthless. That method was not to cut down the vassal, but to cut down the king! Just like the Emperor Liu Sheng of the Southern Han Dynasty during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, except for his own lineage, he wanted to kill all other families.
All the royal family members were killed.
But he also thought that no one could resist the emperor, so he played a little clever trick and fled directly to the capital while the King of Yan's troops entered the Xuan Mansion. A "self-surrender" came and he had no soldiers or generals at his hands. He expected the emperor to come
He would no longer be considered a threat, but because King Yan was forced to rebel and the emperor stopped the process of reducing the vassal, he was able to survive. In such a situation, how could he be loyal to Jian.
Therefore, when Li Jinglong secretly hid his soldiers behind the tent and invited him to discuss important matters, there was no need for Li Jinglong to throw a cup as a warning. King Gu immediately followed suit and agreed to open the city to invite King Yan to the capital.
As soon as King Yan's army entered from Jinchuan Gate, the people in the streets and alleys started shouting, and the news of Yan's army entering the city quickly spread throughout the city. Wei Guogong Xu Huizu was originally guarding Shence Gate. When he heard that Yan's army was coming from
When Jinchuan Gate entered the city, it was like five thunders, and the troops came immediately. At this time, the news of the Yan army's entry into the city had spread throughout the city, and the only one who was willing to send troops to greet him was Xu Huizu. In addition, all the troops in other cities were
The generals, ministers, relatives, and kings all remained silent and stood still.
When Xu Hui's troops arrived at Zhongfu Gate, they encountered the oncoming Yan army. When the Yan army entered the city, they received a strict order from the King of Yan: they were not allowed to approach the palace and quickly controlled the thirteen city gates. The most troublesome thing for the King of Yan was entering the city.
After that, he didn't know how to face the emperor. Now he could only hope in Xia Xun. Before that, he could only leave the palace alone. The first thing he had to do now was to control the entire city first. As long as
With the Thirteen Sects under control, there was no fear that the officials he had listed to arrest would escape.
Therefore, after the Yan army entered the city, they immediately rushed to each city gate. The soldiers and horses were commanded by Qiu Fu. When they arrived at Zhongfu Gate, they ran into Xu Huizu. Except for a group of Xu Huizu's soldiers, the other soldiers had already lost the courage to fight to the death.
As soon as the two armies came into contact, they were completely defeated and fled. Only Xu Huizu's personal soldiers followed him closely.
Xu Huizu's horse was stabbed to death by the Yan army's spear. He immediately jumped on another horse and fought again. Seeing his bravery, Qiu Fu stepped forward to fight with him with his sword. Xu Huizu only had a group of soldiers and was outnumbered.
From then on, he was killed and retreated steadily until he was forced to retreat to the west of Shencemen. Even Shence's horse was occupied by Qiu Fu's troops.
At this time, there were only a dozen of Xu Huizu's confidants left, all with injuries. Xu Huizu looked at the situation, sighed sadly, circled the horse and left. When Qiu Fu saw him escaping, he did not chase him. Instead, he smiled and went to take over the Shence Sect.
went.
Xu Huizu returned to the Mountain King's Mansion covered in blood, and was greeted by his worried family members. Xu Huizu's face was as heavy as water, and he ignored the greetings from his wife and children, and ran straight to the ancestral temple, where he presented the iron certificate of the alchemy book given by Taizu.
Kowtowed three times, took off the iron coupon of the alchemy book, put it in his arms, and then came to the soul of his father, General Xu Da. His expression was extremely complicated. He opened his mouth, but couldn't say a word. He just knelt down and knelt down.
If you bend, you will be unable to kneel down...

"Where is my fifth brother being held now?"
As soon as King Yan entered the city, some officials on both sides of the city gate had already rushed to greet him. As soon as they saw him coming, they all knelt on the ground. Zhu Di didn't recognize a few of them, so he reined in his horses and raised his voice and asked
.
Huang Zhen immediately stood up and responded: "Your Highness, I know where His Royal Highness the King of Zhou is being detained."
King Yan looked at his robe and knew that he was an official of the imperial envoy, so he was overjoyed and said: "Lead the way!"
"Yes, yes!" Huang Zhen immediately ran ahead. When King Yan saw it, he hurriedly ordered: "Give him a horse!"
At that moment, a soldier jumped off the horse and gave it to Huang Zhen. Huang Zhen was flattered and quickly asked the soldier to help him climb onto the horse and lead King Yan away.
Zhou Wang Zhu and his family were imprisoned in a place west of the palace near the Huanyi Bureau. The children were detained in different courtyards. Zhou Wang Zhu and Princess Feng had a separate courtyard, a room, and a palm-sized courtyard. They seemed to come from next door.
The walls were specially raised so that he could see nothing but the sky above his head.
The couple was imprisoned here. Apart from giving them a sip of drinking water every day, the jailer could not fetch them water for washing, nor could they give them a toilet, clean up their filth, and eat, drink, and defecate in the courtyard, so it became a mess.
In the courtyard, they were all smelly. They were still wearing their winter clothes. Because it was hot, Zhu took off his robe, revealing his skinny, dirt-covered chest. He squatted in the corner of the courtyard, playing with a weed.
.
When he was in this situation, of course he couldn't still think about the herbal medicine, not to mention it was just an ordinary weed, but he had to find something to do, otherwise he would really be driven crazy.
Princess Feng was wearing a close-fitting dress. The courtyard door was sealed, and her daily meals were stuffed through the small hole underneath. She didn’t have to worry about being seen by anyone other than her husband. She sat leaning against the courtyard wall.
He was lying on his back, his head hidden in the shadow of the eaves, his body reflected in the sunlight, his tattered cotton-padded jacket spread out on his legs, and he was catching lice.
The yard is so quiet, it has always been so quiet, because this area is the most remote place in the entire Jinling City. The "snap" sound when the long uncut nails pinch out the lice, can be heard in the ears.
It seemed that the shock made the eardrums feel swollen.
They don't know everything about the outside.
During those days in Yunnan, they were exiled to the wilderness, and they had no idea what had happened. When they were suddenly escorted back to Beijing, they accidentally listened to the escorting officers and soldiers chatting halfway, and vaguely knew that the emperor had sent the King of Qi and
After he was arrested, he seemed to have arrested several more princes one after another. King Dai was imprisoned in Sichuan, along with the whole family of King Xiang, and the fourth brother... seemed to have rebelled.
But then, he didn't know anything anymore. Since entering the capital, all the couple could see was the corner of the sky above their heads. After a long time, there was nothing to talk about between the two couples, so they just talked in a daze.
As he lived his life, sometimes when he was not staring at the weed in a daze, he would lie in the yard and look at that corner of the sky, hoping that clouds would pass by so that he could see something moving. At this time, he would occasionally think of
His fourth brother...
Zhu was fiddling with the weed boredly when the courtyard door buzzed a few times. Zhu was a little curious, why would anyone come here today before it was time to eat? Then, the courtyard door opened unexpectedly, and the warder's head
Er Li, don't come in.
On the first day that King Zhou was imprisoned here, he had seen this jailer before, but he could no longer remember his name. Li Bie bowed respectfully and said with a smile: "Oh, Your Highness, King Zhou, the Queen, the young man speaks softly."
, I have never been able to take care of you two. You, you have suffered a lot. The villain can’t help himself..."
Zhu slowly stood up and hugged him numbly. After being detained for such a long time, his body and consciousness were much numb, and he could not react for a while. Only Princess Feng, because of the instinctive shyness of women, quickly put on the tattered cotton-padded jacket.
On the body.
As soon as Li Bie waved his hand, several jailers ran in from behind, some carrying basins, some carrying buckets, and some holding a few clean summer clothes. Li Bie smiled and said: "Your Highness, your Majesty, please
You guys should take a shower, change clothes, and freshen up."
"You...you are..."
Zhou Wang Zhu suddenly woke up and took a few steps back in panic. He leaned against the wall and exclaimed: "Is the emperor going to kill me? Is the emperor going to kill my whole family?"
Li Bie wanted to step forward but didn't dare. He was so anxious that he rubbed his hands: "Oh, Your Highness, look at what you said, where have you thought of all this? This is absolutely not the case. It is definitely not what Your Highness thinks. You... you better wash up.
Let’s change some clothes first.”
Li Bie also knew about the news of Yan's army entering the city, and he immediately thought that the prisoner in his charge was going to die. He figured that King Yan would have to see the emperor first as soon as he entered the capital, so he hurriedly took the lead and wanted to show his goodwill to King Zhou first. No.
The thought of King Zhou was like a frightened bird, which actually frightened King Zhou.
At this moment, there was a noise from behind. Li turned his head and saw a group of soldiers with bright armor and murderous intent rushing in. Zhou Wang Zhu said that what he had expected was true. The emperor was really going to massacre his whole family.
, couldn't help but hugged the princess tightly, trembling all over.
The few sword-wielding soldiers who broke in couldn't help but kicked the jailers aside. They looked at the pair of unkempt beggars in shock and didn't dare to recognize each other for a moment. The leading soldier stretched out his hand and
Li Bie, who was kicked aside by him, grabbed him back and asked sharply: "Are these two His Royal Highness the King of Zhou and the Empress?"
Before Li Bie could answer, Zhu Di, who was wearing a Yishan crown and a vermilion python dragon robe, rushed in. He looked at Zhu Di, and both of them were stunned. Zhu definitely did not expect that the four people who should be running around now
Brother Hui appeared in front of him in such beautiful clothes. Although Zhu Di knew that Lao Wu was imprisoned here, he did not expect that after Zhu spent three years in Yunnan, drinking blood and being an ape, and sitting in a well in Jinling for more than half a year, he actually became a man.
Got this look.
The two brothers, who share the same mother, looked at each other for a long time. Zhu Di's nose felt sore, and he burst into tears. He said in a trembling voice: "Lao Wu, brother... I'm here to save you!"
"Fourth brother! Fourth brother!" Zhu suddenly understood, he howled, rushed over and hugged Zhu Di tightly, and burst into tears...
