A figure flashed across the quiet street.
Since Lu Ming came out of the palace, he did not dare to delay for a moment and rushed to the general's mansion.
No one has lived in the lonely general's mansion for a long time. There is a seal on the door and the dust at the door can even be seen with footprints.
Lu Ming looked around to make sure that there was no one following him, then he slipped to a dilapidated corner door on the side and knocked gently five times.
There was some movement inside.
In the quiet night, there was a sound of a wooden peg being turned.
The door opened.
"Master Xiaolu?"
When Feng Yong saw Lu Ming arriving in the middle of the night, his eyebrows jumped and he quickly moved away.
Seeing him go in, he stuck his head out to look around before closing the door.
The general's mansion was pitch black, with only one room lit by a faint candle.
When Lu Ming hurried in, Zhan Nanxing raised his eyes.
When he led his men to enter the capital disguised as farmers, he was almost stopped and examined by the guard at the city gate.
They all had weapons in their backpacks.
Once discovered, the consequences will be serious.
Thanks to Lu Ming's sudden appearance, he said they were relatives from his hometown and came to the capital to seek refuge with him.
He stuffed some silver into his pocket.
The soldiers guarding the city did not investigate carefully.
"Young Master," Lu Ming came up to Zhan Nanxing and told him the news he had received from the palace.
"The emperor has ordered Lin Xiang and his family to go up to the city tower with him to threaten the Zhan family to withdraw their troops."
Zhan Nanxing stood up suddenly, his handsome face looking extremely cold and stern.
"Our Majesty really has no limits."
Zhan Nanxing asked Feng Yong to arrange someone to go to Lin Xiang's residence and inform Lin Xiang to take his family and hide quickly.
The servant went away in response.
"Master, I'll go back first. If there is any urgent news, I will inform you at any time."
After Lu Ming finished speaking, he said goodbye to Zhan Nanxing and turned to leave.
Zhan Nanxing sat alone in the dim candlelight, took out the gun that Shen Zhaozhao had stuffed into his hand, and stroked it carefully.
Shen's parents had been killed because of Zhan's family.
This time, no matter what, we can't let the Lin family make the same mistake again!
In the future.
The army was approaching in a huge mass, and they were just out of range of the cannons and arrows at the foot of the capital.
Zhan Jianxiao's face became solemn, and he looked up at the towering city walls of the capital.
He led his troops from this city to the border several times to fight the enemy, just to protect Dafeng and his loyal king.
At the beginning, he never thought that he would lead the troops back to fight.
"Hey!" Guan Le rode on his tall horse and shouted at the soldiers on the city wall who were waiting in battle array, "Call your leader out to talk!"
On the city wall, a young man came out. He was none other than Wang Feiyi, who was wearing armor.
He looked at the army under the city, his eyes fell on Zhan Jianyue and Zhan Mingzhong behind him, and then looked at Zhan Dongfeng and Zhan Beichen.
He angrily snatched the bow and arrow from the soldier beside him and drew the bow to its full length.
Pine 꿛.
Whoosh——
The long arrow shot out and hit the ground not far from Guan Le.
Guan Xiaole laughed loudly, "Where did this yellow-haired kid come from? He can't even pull a bow and he's already on the battlefield. The old emperor is persecuting the Zhan family. Is there no one left on the throne?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the army behind him followed suit and shouted out of respect.
"Old Emperor, please abdicate immediately. You are unworthy of the position!"
"Killing loyal people!"
"Without us, General Zhan, the emperor actually sent a eunuch who can't even draw a bow to the city wall, hahahaha..."
Wang Feiyi was so angry that his nose was almost crooked. He stood on the city wall and cursed:
"The Zhan family has evil ambitions!"
"Thunder, lightning, rain and dew are all grace from the Lord!"
"Mobei Army! You have been deceived by the Zhan family. If you put down your swords and surrender now, this general can still speak to His Majesty and ask him to forgive you and let you return to Mobei!"
Guan Yue stretched out his fingers to pick at his ears, "I'm so weak that I can't draw the bow, and I can't even hear what people say!"
The army behind him laughed wildly.
On the city wall, Wang Feiyi's face turned blue and red. At this moment, he suddenly thought of the time when he was overshadowed by Zhan Nanxing.
Everyone says that he is not as good as Zhan Nanxing.
So Miss Xie favors Zhan Nanxing.
The Xie family was willing to marry the Zhan family and rejected his proposal.
Wang Feiyi clenched his fists so tightly that his joints made a crackling sound.
"It's not right." When Wang Chunqiu, the right prime minister, walked up to the city wall, he saw his grandson being provoked by a few warriors under the city. He shook his head secretly and reminded him, "They are trying to provoke you to leave the city. Don't be fooled."
The walls of the capital are high and have been reinforced many times through the dynasties. As long as they don't lower the city gates, no one from the outside can get in easily.
When Wang Feiyi saw his grandfather coming, he exhaled the foul air in his chest and smiled maliciously at the people under the city.
His Majesty had already sent people to guard the Lin family the day before yesterday. By now, Prime Minister Lin and his family should have been escorted here.
He just waited quietly.
Waiting to see the majestic and awe-inspiring Zhan family, and the shattered expression when seeing his own relatives being taken to the city wall.
"War sword!"
Wang Chunqiu cleared his throat and shouted towards the city:
"Your Majesty is the son of a true dragon. Even if there is some punishment for your Zhan family, it is a grace from the emperor!"
"His Majesty has always been kind to you and the Zhan family. Now that you have saved your life, you should return to the court as soon as possible to thank His Majesty!"
"Not only are you ungrateful for the grace bestowed upon you by His Majesty, but you are now leading your troops in rebellion. It is not too much to exterminate all your clans!"
"Haha." Guan Yule laughed when he heard it. He leaned over and got closer to Zhan Jian, "Old General, he said that the emperor exiled your family and colluded with foreign countries to kill loyal officials. He was doing you a favor!"
Zhan Jianxiao stared at Wang Chunqiu on the city wall and snorted.
I don't want to bother with Wang Chunqiu's nonsense.
If you want to accuse someone, you can always find a pretext.
Guan Le grinned, revealing a mouthful of white teeth, and waved his sword, "Go!"
The sound of horse hooves made the earth tremble.
The army shouted and rushed towards the city wall.
“Shoot, shoot quickly!” Wang Feiyi shouted to his soldiers to resist and urged them to bring the Wang family members to the city wall as soon as possible.
How could the soldiers and generals in the camp outside Beijing be as brave as the Zhanjia Army and the Mobei Army who had fought on the battlefield?
Soon, ladders were set up on the city walls.
“Hot oil!”
"Quick, pour the hot oil down!"
Several buckets of boiling hot oil were poured down, but the soldiers below still rushed up the ladders desperately as if they were not afraid of death.
"Pour hot oil!" Wang Feiyi protected his grandfather behind him, and took a knife to chop a soldier of the Zhan family who had just climbed up.
"General Wang, the oil is here!" At the urging of Wang Feiyi, two soldiers quickly carried a bucket of oil and poured it down.
This time, the soldiers on the ladders were not burned and fell down. Instead, they were stunned for a while and then burst into laughter.
"It's so warm, it's time to give me a bath!"
A strong man from the Mobei Army rushed up to the tower in a few steps while shouting and slashed with his sword.
"Hot oil, hot oil!" Wang Feiyi watched as several barrels of hot oil were poured down before they were fully burned. Apart from making a few soldiers slip, the oil had no killing power at all.
The enemy's men kept rushing up the city wall using the ladders, and Wang Feiyi's eyes turned green.
He ran to the other side of the city wall and shouted to the general guarding the city gate:
"Does it take so many people to guard the gate? Everyone, come up here!"
"support!"
In an alley not far from the city wall, Zhan Nanxing and a small team of people had been keeping an eye on the situation at the city gate.
I saw everyone going up to the city wall.
The thin lips were slightly raised.
"Walk!"
"Open the city gate!"
