After Li Hu chopped off Dianye's head with a sword, the guards who had surrounded the palace guards also swung their swords to kill the remaining palace guards.
Then the door opened, and Li Hu saw Li Yao and his wife Bai Xin walking out.
Li Hu stepped forward, his throat trembling slightly: "I have made my wife suffer. I will get this justice for you!"
Bai Xin looked at Li Hu and asked after a long time: "Does your husband really want to rebel?"
Li Hu said: "They forced us."
Bai Xin stretched out her hands to hold Li Hu's hand holding the knife: "I will take good care of the family."
Li Hu nodded, then turned around and looked at the guards on the side and said, "Go forward with this general's order and mobilize 50,000 people to surround the palace! Anyone who dares to come out will be killed!"
The personal guard immediately took Li Hu's general order to gather the border troops, and then sent an envoy to negotiate with the Shuzhou army's camp.
…
in the palace
Song Qi and Prime Minister Qin finished exploring the road and walked out of the secret passage.
Not to mention the two of them, the birds that were thrown in to explore the path in advance all came out unscathed. It seemed that except for the narrow point, there was no problem in the passage.
Next, Song Qi only needs to select a few cronies to take out some gold and silver treasures and deliver them to the prime minister's manor. Then they will run away immediately without any problems.
Of course, Song Qi ignored a very important issue, that is, the cronies who sent the treasure would run away.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the destruction of the capital is just around the corner, and even the prince has thought of a way out. Why should they listen to the prince? Isn't it a good idea to live a comfortable life incognito with these gold and silver jewels?
Zhao Huang thought of this and did not run away. Song Qi obviously did not expect this.
Of course, before he could do anything, a bolt from the blue hit him on the head.
A young eunuch hurried over, knelt down, and said in a panic: "Your Highness the Crown Prince! Your Highness the Crown Prince is in trouble! Li Hu has rebelled! Li Hu has rebelled!"
Song Qi was surprised when he heard this: "What?! Where is Commander Dianye? Didn't he go to arrest Li Hu's family members?"
The little eunuch said with a trembling voice: "I heard that before General Dianye succeeded, he was killed by Li Hu who rushed back. An army of 50,000 people had already surrounded the palace!"
When Qin Xiang heard this, he suddenly looked horrified: "Arrest Li Hu's family members? Why did Your Highness want to arrest Li Hu's family members?"
Song Qi gritted his teeth and said, "It was General Dianye who told me that Li Hu had rebelled against me. I wanted to control Li Hu's family, but unexpectedly, Li Hu actually rebelled directly!"
When Qin Xiang heard this, his face suddenly turned pale; "Your Highness... you have listened to the slander!"
Song Qi looked at Qin Hui and asked, "What did Prime Minister Qin mean?"
Prime Minister Qin said: "If Li Hu really wanted to rebel, he would have rebelled long ago with his 200,000 troops! Does your Highness think that Li Hu's military power can be limited by a mere supervisory army? Li Hu is a man
I have always valued feelings, but what is the difference between wanting to capture Li Hu's family now and forcing him to rebel?"
Only when Song Qi heard this did he realize that all this was caused by that self-righteous guy in Dianye!
He wants the position of warlord!
At this moment, Song Qi's heart was filled with regret.
Of course, there are even more terrifying things. The troops besieging the Imperial City outside are the people who are most familiar with the Imperial City. It was Li Hu who figured out the architecture of the Imperial City and formulated a defense plan in case the rebels invaded the Imperial City.
There are countermeasures.
But now, Li Hu has become a rebel who broke into the imperial city...
It was he who forced him to rebel with his own hands!
Now the imperial guards in the palace are leaderless and are in chaos. They are unable to withstand the offensive of the 50,000 imperial guards.
Qin Hui looked at Song Qi and said: "Your Highness, the matter has come to this. It's too late to say anything. There is still a way to retreat. We can run out along the road now before it's too late!"
Song Qi's heart was full of bitterness and he said: "But I haven't had time to bring my belongings..."
Qin Hui couldn't help but pull Song Qi up and leave: "If you don't leave, you will die!"
The little eunuch who was kneeling on the ground just now also stood up and chased after him: "Your Highness, don't leave me alone!"
Song Qi felt even more regretful. He didn't have time to bring the money. The only servant who came with him was not a woman.
Qin Hui felt regretful to the extreme. He originally expected you to provide money for me to provide the land, and we would be happy for the rest of our lives, but now it turned out to be a drag on us.
You really can’t rely on anyone but yourself!
Outside the capital, in a dense forest.
A group of spies with leaves hanging on their bodies were hidden among the dead leaves behind the stone.
The team deputy said: "Fortunately, His Highness Prince Ming had the foresight to inform us of the location of this secret passage, so that we can catch the traitor Qin Hui here!"
The captain was looking in the direction of the exit with an incomprehensible look: "But I saw them coming out just now, why did they go in again?"
The team deputy also shook his head: "I don't know either. If you don't run away quickly after getting out of the secret passage, what are you going to do when you go back? Do you think it's to steal something?"
Team leader nodded with deep approval: "That's right. Going in and out of this small narrow hole, is it interesting?"
The team deputy said: "That's right, it's still damp inside..."
