Chapter 1,134 The breeze blows through the Thirteen Gates
Thinking that the overall situation has been decided, Zhao Shangshu said proudly: "It doesn't matter what the surname is in Western Chu, and it won't even matter what surname the world has in the future, because no matter how the emperor takes turns, we can't be missing."
As Zhao Shangshu finished speaking, there was a sound of armored footsteps, and the deputy commander of the Forbidden Army, He Taisheng, led five hundred Forbidden Army.
The third-rank deputy commander looked at Jiang Si who was sitting awkwardly. But there was a hint of greed in his eyes.
This man once showed great brilliance in the battle of annihilating Yan Zhenchun's cavalry. When he returned to Beijing to report on his work, he was appreciated by the Song family, and he boarded the Song family's big ship and rose to fame.
After the decline of the Song family, they were not liquidated, but rose to prominence.
The other deputy commander of the Forbidden Army named Qi was not so lucky. He was pushed out of the center of power and rarely even came to the daily meal.
When Xi Chu was in crisis, he was the first group of people to collude with Li Yang.
Li Yang even promised him a protective general.
You must know that there are many miscellaneous generals in the entire Liyang Dynasty, but there are not many generals with real power. Eight generals can be called "big generals" when they conquer all four sides.
Just when Zhao Shangshu and others were confident, a eunuch-like man ran over in panic, crossed the imperial army, came to Zhao Shangshu and whispered.
After hearing the eunuch's report, Zhao Shangshu exclaimed: "What!? King Beiliang appeared outside the capital with 50,000 cavalry, and the city gate was shattered. Now, King Beiliang has arrived at the gate of the palace city!" Gu Jiantang
, what on earth are Chen Zhibao and that Lu Xiangsheng doing? Why haven’t we received any news about the Northern Liang Army going south?"
Jiang Si's face returned to calmness, and she looked at these clowns with a dead look in her eyes.
Looking at the horrified eyes of Zhao Shangshu and others, he stood up and sighed, "There are still too few people."
"I thought it would be the three powerful people who came, but I didn't expect that it was just you people who came. Anyway, it's just a little more effort on the left and right."
"Your Majesty, forgive me..." Before Zhao Shangshu could finish his words, his head had already fallen to the ground.
The head rolled a few times on the floor tiles, and when it reached He Taisheng's feet behind him, he uttered the unfinished words in a weak voice, "Fate..."
He Taisheng looked at the dead Zhao Shangshu's head at his feet and felt cold all over his body.
Subconsciously, he turned around and wanted to call his subordinates to protect him.
Before the words could be shouted out, they were stuck in his throat.
Because he saw the Imperial Guards, whom he usually regarded as his confidants, pointing at him with bright swords and guns in their hands.
---------------
Liyang Tai'an City, Palace City, Imperial City, Inner City, and the three cities from the inside to the outside have defenders, and Master Liu Hao was one of them at that time.
This is also the reason why Xu Fengnian joked that Master Liu Song was the watchdog of Liyang.
The same is true for Xi Chu.
The magnificent formation in the capital city of Western Chu had already been completely destroyed by Zhao Yi, the king of Guangling, who occupied the magpie's nest after the mountains and rivers were broken.
But there are still people guarding the city and guarding the gates. Lu Dantian, the leader in Xichu swordsmanship, is one of them, but it is a pity that he has not returned yet.
The remaining two people showed up today.
A man stood behind the gate of the imperial city. He was old and short, wearing a long-sleeved robe and wooden clogs, like a straw man beside the rice fields.
A man stood in front of the palace gate, looking at the former's back from a distance. He was also an ancient old man. This one was wearing a python robe. It was neither the style of the Liyang vassal king nor in line with the etiquette of the Western Chu royal family today, but only the old man.
The vassal king's python robe is only seen in Da Chu temples when he was young. This old man surnamed Jiang, who was once expelled from the Da Chu clan, is tall but lifeless.
Between the two old men, there were a total of 1,600 elite forest guards, 1,600 bright iron armors, shining in the sunlight, as if they were wearing the golden armor of the heavenly immortals.
On top of the two cities, there are nearly a thousand crossbows ready to go.
This young man is carrying a sword box in the open space in front of the palace.
The towering and solid city gate had no effect at all and was shattered by his palm.
Although the world-famous Beiliang Iron Cavalry did not enter the city with them, several generals wearing luxurious armor and stomach stood on the top of the city behind the crenels, all dripping with cold sweat. No one dared to act rashly or take the lead in giving orders.
Xu Fengnian shocked the world because he refused to fight in Beicheng. Both the temple and the rivers and lakes had reached a consensus that even if Wang Xianzhi and Cao Changqing were resurrected and joined forces, they would not be able to compete with the King of Northern Liang, who was only in his weak years.
Xu Fengnian looked at the Chu army waiting in front of him and grinned.
With just one finger, the palace gate shattered.
The gate was shattered, and the two old men guarding the palace gate finally reacted.
One on the left and one on the right, one black and one white, rushing towards Xu Fengnian like two dragons.
Xu Fengnian just waved his sleeves lightly, and the energy of the two old men collapsed, flying back faster than when they came, imprinted on the palace wall, and turned into meat cakes.
The two martial arts masters in Xichu, second only to Zhang Bianguan, died at the hands of Xu Fengnian before they could even use their trump cards.
"I didn't want to kill anyone, but there are people who insist on seeking death." Xu Fengnian looked at the Western Chu Imperial Army and said slowly word by word: "I ask you again, do you want to give in or not?"
Facing the world's best master, the more than 1,600 armored imperial troops were frightened, but with military orders in hand, they showed no intention of retreating. More than a thousand bows and crossbows were pointed at King Liang in white.
As long as Xu Fengnian dares to take a step forward,
At this time, another deputy commander of the Forbidden Army named Qi who was stationed in the palace city and three sword-bearing knights rushed over in a hurry and shouted to the Forbidden Army: "Stop! Stop it all! Your Majesty has a decree and you must not stop Beiliang."
The king enters the palace!"
"Yes!" After receiving the order from the empress, more than 1,600 armored swords were sheathed, bows and arrows were lowered, and a way was opened.
The deputy commander surnamed Qi wiped the sweat from his forehead and stepped forward and said: "King Liang, His Majesty is cleaning up the rebellious ministers in the palace. That's why the palace is under such martial law."
"It turns out it was a misunderstanding." Xu Fengnian raised her finger and pointed at the two corpses imprinted on the wall, "What about the two of them?"
Without even looking at the two corpses on the palace wall, Commander Qi replied: "These two thieves received the emperor's favor in vain, colluded with the traitors, and deserved their death. Even if King Liang does not take action, the three masters behind Qi will
Take action. Qi arrived a little late because he wanted to get rid of another traitor, Gu Sui. Fortunately, there were no casualties."

The three masters mentioned by the deputy commander Qi are the three knights who came with swords. They are the confidant swordsmen trained by Jiang Si herself. They are also the masters of swordsmanship in Western Chu from Lu Dantian down.
After examining the three sword masters for a while, Xu Fengnian transformed into a breeze and crossed the thirteen palace gates.
Sensing the scent of ginger mud, Xu Fengnian came to the water bank in the northwest corner of the palace city.
He glanced at the corpses of several ministers and deputy commanders on the ground.
Jiang Ni saw Xu Fengnian coming and said calmly: "I won't leave."
Xu Fengnian threw the red sandalwood sword box containing the Daliang Dragon Bird to Jiang Ni and said, "If you take my sword, you must follow me."
