Chapter 56 Entering the Urn
"General, they have escaped into the palace!" Shortly after Fan Chou and Fang Sheng entered the palace, Li Jue and Guo Si also chased him with their troops. It was a huge difficulty to escape their pursuit in Chang'an City.
"Enter the palace?" A cold flashed in Li Jue's eyes when he heard this: "No wonder that Fan Chou actually got prepared in advance. It turned out that this little emperor was causing trouble behind the scenes!"
"The emperor is of great use to us!" Guo Si looked at Li Jue and said in a deep voice.
"Don't worry, I won't kill him!" Li Jie sneered: "But if you don't teach him a lesson, you will feel uneasy!"
This time, Guo Si did not stop him. This time, if Fan Chou escaped this time, the Xiliang army would face division. He felt that it was necessary to teach the little emperor a lesson and let him know that some things he could not control.
Li Jue had already stepped forward and called the door: "Open the palace gate for me immediately!"
The palace guards were all two-person troops, and they dared not disobey. Soon, the palace gate slowly opened. Li Jue and Guo Si immediately entered the city with their troops and headed straight towards Chengming Palace.
"General, what should I do?" On the city tower, watching Li Jue and others bringing a large number of troops into the palace, several palace guards led to panic and look at Yang Ding hiding in the city tower.
"Look at what I do!" Yang Ding saw everyone's eyes and hummed and said sternly: "Close the palace gate for me, the rest has nothing to do with us."
Looking at Li Jue, there were hundreds of elite soldiers brought by Guo Si, and there were many people around outside the palace gate. At this moment, Yang Ding was increasingly expecting Liu Xie. Although he knew that Liu Xie had a hundred elite soldiers, which was transferred from the army at that time. It was less than a month before, even if those people were willing to fight for Liu Xie to death, what would it be possible for those soldiers and horses in Chang'an City? Not to mention the elite soldiers in Xiliang brought in by Li Jue and Guo Si, Liu Xie now only had one hundred guards, even if there were one thousand. With Li Jue and Guo Si's skills, only those hundreds of people were enough to kill them.
At this time, I still did it peacefully according to Liu Xie's instructions. This matter had nothing to do with him and would not help anyone.
"Look, someone is coming outside!" Just as Yang Ding made up his mind to hide in the city tower and he didn't care even if the sky fell outside, a guard suddenly pointed at the outsider of the palace gate.
"Recently?" Yang Ding stood up impatiently, complaining in his heart that Li Jue and Guo Si were too careful. What should I worry about for those people around the emperor?
"Who are you waiting for? This is the forbidden area of the imperial palace, so retreat quickly!" But someone outside started to shout.
Yang Ding frowned. It was not a group of people. He couldn't help but look out from the female wall of the palace curiously. He saw a group of people coming from afar, judging from the scale, there were about a thousand people, the queue was neat and the momentum was like a rainbow, which was obviously different from the soldiers in Chang'an City.
"Kill!" Before Yang Ding could come back, he saw that the sudden appearance of the army did not hesitate at all, and he did not say hello, and started to fuck him directly. Before the person arrived, a rain of arrows had already fallen overwhelmed, which scared Yang Ding so much that he quickly retracted his head.
"presumptuous!"
“Ah~”
Outside the imperial city, the sound of fighting sounded, and Yang Ding's face turned pale when he heard it. Needless to ask, this sudden army was obviously Liu Xie's troops, but when did His Majesty have such a force in his hand? Could it be the reinforcements sent by those aristocratic families?
There were nearly a thousand soldiers and horses left outside the palace gate by Li Jue and Guo Si, in order to prevent Fan Chou from hijacking Liu Xie and fleeing. He never expected to be attacked by the army in the city. At this moment, he was caught off guard and was defeated with just a charge. Next, there was a one-sided massacre. The troops sent by Xu Huang were elite soldiers brought out by him personally. Although they were not elite due to time, there was no problem in fighting such a surprise attack.
Yang Ding and other guards looked at the two sides who had gradually decided to win and lose. The ground outside the palace gate had been completely covered by blood. Yang Ding had experienced the battlefield and was quite calm, but most of the guards in the palace were recruits who had never been on the battlefield. Faced with such scenes, many people vomited directly.
The battle outside the palace ended very quickly. In just a quarter of an hour, the people who were left outside the palace were completely defeated and fled in scattered. These people did not pursue them, but saw a strong man holding a steel gun and shouting sternly: "I am the vanguard under General Anton Xu Huang. I am here to help Your Majesty fight against the thief. You still won't open the door!"
After saying that, he took out a token from his arms. It was the gold medal given by Liu Xie. Li Jue, Guo Si and others didn't even know the existence of this gold medal. It was because Yang Ding followed Liu Xie's order to guard the palace gate this time that he knew the existence of this gold medal.
Looking at the swaying gold medal, Yang Ding was a little stunned.
It turned out to be Xu Huang!?
He remembered the whole process of Xu Huang ascending to the throne. He said in his heart that he was indescribable envy, jealousy and hatred for Xu Huang. Just because Liu Xie was unhappy with him, he was valued by Li Jue. In addition, he made some contributions when fighting Yang Feng, so he was promoted to General Annan. Although he did not have much military power, he was more than twice as strong as his guard in the palace.
I just wanted to break my head and couldn't think of why Xu Huang, who should have been under Guo Si, transformed into Liu Xie's person at this moment?
"The guard in the city has not opened the door yet. If you ruin your Majesty's major affairs, be careful of your head!" Outside the palace gate, the burly general was a little impatient when he saw that the palace gate had not opened for a long time and shouted sternly.
Yang Ding was shocked. At this moment, he was sad to realize that Xu Huang, who was even inferior to his former status, had transformed himself and had reached the point where a minion under his command could scold him at will. He felt frustrated, but he did not dare to be negligent. He quickly opened the palace gate.
"Last general Yang Ding, please see the general!" Yang Ding came to the city to greet him in person, but the other party didn't even look at him, and led his men straight into the palace, leaving Yang Ding froze in place with an awkward look.
"General!" Several subordinates carefully pushed Yang Ding and said, "This place is too dangerous, let's go back to the city tower."
"Dangerous?" Yang Ding shivered, woke up, his face changed, and he cursed angrily: "It's so dangerous, it's even more dangerous to stay here. Hurry up, take the weapons and follow me to protect His Majesty!"
“Ha~!?”
Several team leaders looked at Yang Ding in a confused look when they heard this. What's going on?
"Li Jue, Guo Si is a traitor. We are deeply grateful to the emperor. How can we ignore Your Majesty's safety? Hurry up and order all our troops and follow my Forbidden Palace to protect Your Majesty." Yang Ding said sternly. He had figured it out now. Liu Xie had already made preparations. Fan Chou and others were just baits to lure Li Jue and Guo Si into the palace, in order to kill Li Jue and Guo Si in one fell swoop.
As long as Li Jue and Guo Si die, Liu Xie has Fan Chou and Xu Huang support him, this puppet emperor will have real power. If he doesn't show his loyalty at this time, it will be too late to even have Tang.
"General Yang, Your Majesty has an order to protect Princess Hongnong and not leave without leaving!" A team leader frowned.
