Yang Xiu's residence was not far from Yang Jun's residence. When Lin Jue and others arrived on horseback, Yang Xiu had already packed the package and was sitting alone under the lamp.
Seeing the arrival of Lin Jue and others, Yang Xiu was not surprised. Instead, he said happily: "I knew Brother Lin would come to rescue me. I have packed everything. If you don't come in a while, I will go."
I'm looking for you. If I weren't worried about the checkpoints outside, I would have left long ago."
Lin Jue burst into laughter. The behaviors of Yang Xiu and Du Weijian were completely different, but obviously he thought Yang Xiu was much 'smarter'. Yang Xiu may have suffered too many grievances from the court, so he tried to save Lin Jue more.
What is more, he is personally grateful to Lin Jue, and he does not have much loyalty to the court. Therefore, when things change, he will not have too much burden on his heart. But Du Weijian is different, he actually just joined the officialdom.
Soon, he was full of ambitions, hoping to get not Lin Jue's personal recognition, but the recognition of the court and the emperor. In other words, he had not been able to see the essence of the matter clearly, so he was so idealistic.
"This saves me a lot of trouble. I thought you were as unwilling to leave as Du Weijian, and planned to have someone tie you up and carry you away. By the way, do you know what happened in the court?" Lin
Jue smiled.
Yang Xiu nodded and said: "I don't know what happened, I just had a hunch. There was a sudden ban on the city, which was unreasonable. When I came back from the Yamen in the evening, I happened to see Lu Zhongtian entering the palace with a large number of people. At that time
I was a little confused. Later I saw a large number of imperial troops being mobilized. I thought something big must have happened. Do you still remember what you said to me privately a few days ago? I think that must have happened.
.”
Lin Jue remembered that because it had been too quiet during this period, Lin Jue felt vaguely uneasy. He had expressed his worries when chatting with Yang Xiu some time ago. He was worried that Guo Xu would take risks and make some radical moves.
Take action. Of course, the final conclusion is that even if Yang Xu had that idea, he did not have the conditions to succeed. But at that time, Lin Jue did not realize that Zhao Yuankang was a traitor, and all the soldiers and horses in front of the emperor were Lu Zhongtian.
If they knew all this, Lin Jue and Yang Xiu would not have come to this conclusion. Therefore, although they had some doubts at the time, they did not pursue the matter further and left it alone.
"You are right. Guo Xu has usurped the throne. He killed the prince. The emperor's life or death is uncertain. Zhao Yuankang, the commander of the front department, has long been Lu Zhongtian's man. Now it seems that Yang Jun has also joined. The situation is irreversible, so I
I just came to pick you up personally and take you away." Lin Jue said quickly.
Yang Xiu was speechless and murmured: "Conspiracy to usurp the throne, conspiracy to usurp the throne, they have planned this for a long time. It's hateful, it's really hateful."
Lin Jue said: "Don't say anything anymore. We have to hurry up and evacuate the capital quickly. The next step will be to cut our necks with the butcher's knife."
Everyone immediately went out and mounted their horses, heading out from the deep alleys to the street. When they were about to arrive at the street entrance, the sound of horse hooves and noises could be heard in the street. Someone was giving orders and shouting loudly.
Lin Jue shouted in a low voice: "Go and see what's going on."
Did the two nurses get off? They followed the shadows under the eaves to the entrance of the alley and peeped out. They saw soldiers and horses galloping on the street, all heading to the north street. Listening carefully, there was a faint sound in the distance.
Come and scream for murder. Something big seems to have happened.
The two people hurriedly came back to report to Lin Jue. Lin Jue was shocked when he heard the words. Everyone hurriedly rode forward and came to the entrance of the alley to take a closer look. Sure enough, it seemed that there was a cry of killing coming from the north, and there seemed to be soldiers and horses fighting.
The soldiers on the street ran to the north one after another, and soon there were not many soldiers on the street. There was the sound of horse hooves, and a man who looked like a general was galloping behind on horseback, seeming to waste time.
Lin Jue said softly: "Brother Sun went to get him."
Sun Dayong nodded and rushed out quickly. He headed towards the galloping horse. The general on the horse yelled and cursed: "Get out of the way, get out of the way, are you looking for death?"
Sun Dayong not only refused to give in, but hurried forward to meet him. Immediately, the general yelled and cursed and rushed towards him with his horse. When he was about to hit Sun Dayong, Sun Dayong leaned forward and raised his foot to kick the side of the horse's head.
He came out. But after hearing a faint cry, mixed with the sound of broken bones, the horse fell sideways and slid along the ground for several feet, unable to struggle.
The general's body was immediately thrown out, and he hit the road heavily, rolling several feet away. Fortunately, he was protected by his armor, and he quickly got up groaning and cursing.
In the alley, Lin Jue cheered, and a guard whispered: "Brother Sun's kick can break rocks and stone monuments, and the horse's skull must be broken. It's really powerful."
Lin Jue nodded. He had seen Sun Dayong's kick skills and knew the power of Sun Dayong's kick. As he spoke, Sun Dayong had already dragged the general over quickly. As soon as the general got up, he was hit hard by Sun Dayong.
With a blow, the weapon was taken away, and he could only lie on the ground unable to get up. So he was dragged over by Sun Dayong like a dog.
When the interrogation began, there was almost no coercion, and the general explained everything. This person was a general who was guarding Ma Junsi, and he was ordered to come to Zuojin Street to deliver an order, asking all the soldiers and horses on Zuojin Street to go to the north of Chunyi Bridge.
Street gathered support. A fight was taking place there. The young prince of the Liang Palace led his troops to attack the palace, but was blocked by Yang Jun's troops on Hengjie Street. The two sides had already launched a large-scale firefight. Yang Jun ordered himself to come and deliver the order.
Let the prohibition troops and horses from the nearby market rush to support the containment of Yun Yun.
Hearing the news, Lin Jue was stunned. He never expected that Guo Kun would actually take the risk to attack the palace. When Guo Kun proposed it before, he had already vetoed it, but he still did it. He still
Waiting for news about him, they left the capital together. In the end, Prince Liang and his son actually negotiated such a result.
This is simply stupid. After Yang Jun has joined the ranks of usurping the throne, most of the entire imperial army in the capital is already controlled by Yang Jun. Guo Kun has very few soldiers and horses at his disposal, and every move must have been controlled. They are in
They were blocked across the street, and they couldn't even get close to the palace. They must have been ambushed.
After asking carefully, Lin Jue confirmed his guess. Guo Kun's troops were ambushed in a cross street and were defeated. Yang Jun had already mobilized seven or eight thousand cavalry to block them at both ends. As long as the ambush was successful, the next step would be
It was the cavalry who charged in and completely defeated them. This situation would be difficult even for gods to recover from.
"Master Lin, what should we do?" Sun Dayong and others also realized the seriousness of the problem.
Lin Jue thought about countermeasures quickly, and after a moment he said in a deep voice: "There is no way to rescue the young prince. Everything depends on his fate. We rushed to the palace immediately. The prince, princess and family members are still there, so we can only
Go save these people."
Sun Dayong said: "I'll go back and call the brothers."
Lin Jue nodded and said: "You take them directly to the Northwest Lake Palace. Don't worry about the checkpoints on the way and just break through them. We will gather in front of Taiping Xingguo Temple. Regardless of whether the rescue is successful or not, we will gather here and leave the city. The remaining My brother and I went to the palace to rescue him. Maybe it would be too late, maybe we would, but God bless me. I can no longer rescue Lu Wu’s parents.
, I must go all out for Caiwei’s parents.”
Sun Dayong galloped away on horseback, and Lin Jue led the rest of the people to gallop north to the palace on the northwest lake. When they arrived at the Taiping Xingguo Temple North Street Square, a large number of soldiers and horses appeared in front of them. People and horses gathered in the square. There was a lot of shouting and shouting, and a large number of soldiers and horses seemed to be surrounding and killing someone.
"There seems to be a palace guard in the middle, right, isn't that Commander Shen?" Guo Bing's eyes were sharp, and he saw Shen Tan's figure fighting in the crowd from a distance. Thousands of Forbidden Army soldiers were besieging Shen Tan. Prince Liang, his wife, dozens of family members and more than a dozen large vehicles were protected by hundreds of palace guards.
"Kill!" Lin Jue shouted. Although he only had a dozen riders, he still rushed towards the battlefield without hesitation.
The crossbow fired continuously, the green flute blade flashed, and the firearm in Lin Jue's hand roared. Even Yang Jun raised a long sword and shouted loudly. Although the number of more than ten riders was small, their fighting power was not weak. In addition, a sudden attack from the side After killing dozens of people, a gap was opened, allowing Lin Jue and others to rush into the inner circle.
"It's Brother Lin, this is great!" Shen Tan was covered in blood and fought hard. He already felt that there was no hope, but when he saw Lin Jue leading the charge, he suddenly became energetic.
Lin Jue shouted: "Is the prince and princess okay?"
Shen Tan pierced the chest of a soldier with the spear in his hand, gasped and said with a smile: "The prince and princess are well."
Lin Jue nodded and shouted: "Okay, where is the young prince?"
Shen Tan shouted: "The young prince is injured and is in the car."
Lin Jue was overjoyed. Guo Kun had escaped, which was good news. But from this point of view, the battle on Chunyi Bridge North Street was probably over. The troops gathered by Guo Kun ended in failure, and even the walls of the palace were destroyed. I didn't touch it. But at the same time, it also meant that a large number of soldiers and horses were about to surround him.
Not long ago, the cavalry guarding Ma Junsi launched a charge. It was a one-sided crushing attack. Guo Kun's five thousand remaining soldiers were unable to resist this impact and were soon on the verge of collapse. And another news also spread. Come, the palace was attacked. The palace guards who stayed behind sent people to rush to the battlefield to request rescue.
Guo Kun's eyes turned red. He had lost his judgment. He actually asked Shen Tan to lead more than 800 royal guard cavalry to countercharge with him. Shen Tan tried to persuade him but refused to listen, so he had to charge with him. The 800 cavalry could not form at all. The threat could not shake the opponent's troops, nor could it bring about a chance for the infantry behind him. On the contrary, during the charge, Guo Kun was seriously injured. Shen Tan made a prompt decision and led the remaining 500 guards to protect Guo Kun and found Heng. He escaped through an alley on the street in the chaos. Along the way, he broke through the Forbidden Army soldiers and horses who came to form a peripheral encirclement. When he rushed back to the palace, thousands of Forbidden Army troops besieged the palace.
Fortunately, the palace walls are tall and the arrow towers and other defensive measures are good. The more than 300 palace guards and a group of palace guards who stayed behind are struggling to support themselves. Shen Tan arrived and led the guards to disperse the besieging imperial army, and immediately let Guo Bing and the princess. Shen Tan and other family members got into the car and escorted them out of the palace to escape. Shen Tan had only one idea, to escort the prince, princess and others to meet Lin Jue. Only with Master Lin taking charge of the situation could there be any hope of escape.
However, more and more soldiers and horses were besieging them. Thousands of Forbidden Army infantry surrounded them in front of Taiping Xingguo Temple, making it difficult for them to move forward. Shen Tan knew that with the end of the fighting on the street, more soldiers and horses were about to arrive. Even if he had wings, he could not escape. In the midst of anxiety, Shen Tan was greatly relieved when Lin Jue arrived. Although Lin Jue only brought a dozen people, it was not important. What was important was that Lin Jue was here. , then you have a backbone.
