Chapter 952 The clouds cover the sun and the swallows return to their nests (4)
"Meet Madam."
"lady......"
On the other side, among the 300,000 rebels.
Just as Wei Changtian walked out of the teahouse and walked towards the Meridian Gate step by step, Su Qi and Xu Quan stood in front of Yang Liushi with somewhat confused expressions.
They looked around calmly, but did not find Wei Changtian's figure, so they turned their attention to Yang Liushi again.
"I wonder if Madam has any instructions?"
After a while, Su Qi was the first to ask.
Yang Liushi did not show off, and quickly replied with a calm expression:
"Master Su, Mr. Xu."
"Actually, my husband was no longer in the army two days ago, but went to the capital of Daqian first."
"What?"
Their eyes were stunned, and Su Qi and Xu Quan both raised their heads suddenly: "Young master has gone to the capital?"
"yes."
Yang Liushi nodded slightly: "My husband doesn't want too many people to know his whereabouts, so I didn't tell you."
"But just now, my husband came back with a message, ordering us to march at full speed immediately, and we must lead the army to the capital of Daqian before midnight."
"ah?"
With their mouths wide open, Su Qi and Xu Quan were both a little surprised when they heard this. They didn't know why Wei Changtian would issue such an order.
Fortunately, Yang Liushi understood their doubts and quickly explained softly:
"Master Su, Mr. Xu, at this very moment, Jing Guoqing is personally reciting a proclamation to quell the rebellion above the Meridian Gate."
"And my husband will kill him before nightfall."
"Can you understand what I said?"
"..."
Amidst the "rumbling" sound of marching, the black army moved slowly not far away. The golden sunlight was bright and dazzling, reflecting the stunned expressions of Su Qi and Xu Quan particularly clearly.
Although Yang Liushi only said three sentences, the content of these words shocked them so much.
Wei Changtian not only secretly ran away to the capital, but also wanted to kill Jing Guoqing today??
Neither of them were stupid, and they soon understood why Wei Changtian ordered them to march at full speed.
No doubt they were thinking of taking advantage of the chaos in the city after Jing Guoqing's death and "ending the battle" in one fell swoop.
But...why is Wei Changtian so sure that he can kill Jing Guoqing?
Also, even if Jing Guoqing is really dead, will the defenders in the capital definitely give up resistance?
For a time, countless questions rushed into the minds of Su Qi and Xu Quan.
At this moment, a messenger ran over quickly from not far away, knelt down on one knee out of breath, and immediately reported loudly:
"Sir! Urgent report from Beijing!"
"explain!"
His face changed. Although Su Qi hadn't heard the content of the urgent report, he actually understood at this moment that what Yang Liushi said was true.
What the messenger said next was indeed true.
"Sir! Jing Guoqing suddenly went to the Meridian Gate a quarter of an hour ago to recite the proclamation in person, and then Mr. Wei appeared nearby with the intention of assassinating him!"
"what about now?!"
Su Qi immediately asked: "Young Master, have you succeeded?!"
"Back to your lord! When the urgent report was sent back, Mr. Wei had not yet approached the Meridian Gate. We don't know whether he succeeded or not!"
The messenger replied again: "But according to the emergency report, Jing Guoqing has not escaped yet!"
"...Okay, you go down."
"yes!"
With a loud response, the ordering soldier quickly got up and ran away.
Su Qi also put aside all the questions in his mind, turned to look at Yang Liushi, took a deep breath and said:
"Madam, I will give you the order to march at full speed. I will never ruin the master's plan!"
"Well, there is Master Laosu."
Chong Su Qi nodded slightly, and Yang Liushi looked at Xu Quan again.
"Master Xu, please take the Tengu Army one step ahead and arrive at the capital before dusk."
"There will be people at the four city gates to meet you then."
"...Okay! I'll go right away!"
Without saying any nonsense, Xu Quan agreed decisively.
It was obvious that both he and Su Qi had fully understood Wei Changtian's plan.
Although they still had some doubts about "whether Jing Guoqing could be killed", the two of them also knew that they could only trust Wei Changtian at this time, so they quickly ran to mobilize their troops.
Before dusk, the Tengu army arrived first.
Before midnight, the rebels arrived again.
Based on the current position of the army, this task is not that difficult.
The real difficulty is whether Wei Changtian can kill Jing Guoqing before the Tengu army arrives.
Even though Wei Changtian had expressed full confidence in his letter, Yang Liushi could not help but still feel a little worried at this moment.
On the one hand, he was worried that Jing Guoqing would not die, and on the other hand, he was worried that something unexpected would happen to Wei Changtian.
Yang Liushi is not afraid that Jing Guoqing can threaten Wei Changtian.
She is afraid of those "evil tigers" hiding in the dark.
Fortunately, Wei Changtian deliberately concealed his whereabouts. A quarter of an hour ago, spies from all forces thought that he was still among the rebels and were still watching nearby.
So...it should be fine.
...
...
"Swish! Swish, swish, swish!"
"ah!!!"
"Bang bang bang bang!!"
"..."
Daqian Jingcheng, Yudao Street.
As the central axis of the entire city, Yudao Street extends from the South City Gate to the Meridian Gate of the Imperial Palace, dividing the huge capital into the east and west sides.
At this moment, the long street that could accommodate five carriages running parallel was crowded with countless Imperial Guards wearing golden armor, and countless corpses were lying in various directions.
The long blood trail started outside the door of a small teahouse and stretched for more than a hundred feet, and it was still slowly extending forward.
Wei Changtian was walking at the forefront of the bloodstains, his eyes always focused on the Meridian Gate in front of him, his expression not changing at all.
"Stop him!!"
"Stop, stop him!!!"
"No one is allowed to retreat!!"
Not far away, a captain drew his sword and roared at the top of his lungs, and in the next moment he chopped off the heads of several cowering imperial soldiers.
When the others saw this, they couldn't help but feel a chill on their backs. They had no choice but to bite the bullet and continue to rush towards Wei Changtian with their swords, but they did not notice that the captain's voice had already become extremely frightened.
Facing the "Living Yama" that had only been heard in rumors before, no one could remain calm.
If Wei Changtian had rushed directly towards the Meridian Gate, the situation might have been better.
But the former walked so leisurely step by step, as if he wanted to stay on this long street for a while, and wanted to let the people around him see clearly what he was going to do.
For these forbidden troops, this is undoubtedly torture.
Can't beat him, can't stop him, can't even touch the black corner of his clothes...
Every time Wei Changtian took one more step, swung one more sword, and killed one more person, the fear in their hearts increased, and now they were almost on the verge of collapse.
What's more important is that from the time Wei Changtian walked out of the teahouse to now, a hundred breaths have passed, and there is still no response from the Meridian Gate.
There is no doubt that Jing Guoqing cannot come to his senses even now.
So, the reason why he has not taken any action is undoubtedly because he is still struggling.
