Chapter 239 Concubine 22

On the third day of September, the capital had already entered autumn.

The fallen leaves fell to the ground in the breeze, bringing a hint of desolation to the overly quiet night.

In the jungle outside the capital, the sound of footsteps came faintly.

Because the moon was not bright today, one could only see large groups of black people rushing towards the capital like a mountain.

Wu'an Hou rode on a warhorse, glanced sideways at his son in silver armor, and said lightly: "Do you know what to do today?"

Zheng Bin's heart was surging, and he barely suppressed his restless mood with a rolling Adam's apple.

"Son knows. "He never thought that the Zheng family would come to this point, and he never thought that he would be so close to that position one day.

Those dreams in the past turned into abstract lines in his mind, making him unable to remember clearly.

But now, his mind is only filled with one idea.

Kill into the capital and change the emperor.

The world is in turmoil, and he is no longer a bystander.

"Damn, what are these people hesitating about here?" A few miles away, General Zhao spat out the withered yellow grass stalks in his mouth and muttered to himself.

Gu Li glanced at him sideways, and his cool eyes were so quiet in the night that it made General Zhao shiver.

"I know, wait!" This man had told himself countless times before he set out, not to let him be impatient, otherwise he would be killed first.

He didn't say anything, wasn't he just complaining?

"It's almost there. "Gu Li put his hands on the ground, feeling the vibration of the horse, and slightly raised the corners of his lips.

"Report!" In the night, a row of torches came rushing from afar.

The hoarse voice of the messenger seemed particularly anxious in the night: "Eight hundred miles of border, urgent, please open the city gate!"

The voices like the cuckoo crying blood came one after another, waking up the silent and dark city walls.

The general guarding the city climbed up the city wall with a torch, and said in a deep voice: "Who is coming?"

"Urgent report from the Northwest Army! "The messenger stumbled off his horse: "Your Majesty..."

The voice gradually weakened, making the guards on the city gate very anxious.

Throughout the dynasties, such night raids on the capital were rare.

And in Daxia, this scene was played out half a year ago.

Dozens of war horses died at the border and brought back the news of the Crown Prince's death.

In less than half a month, the late emperor passed away, and the current one ascended the throne.

Now the urgent news comes again, which makes people feel uneasy.

Could it be that something happened at the border again?

This time, it was the group of barbarians in the north who attacked?

Seeing the people under the city tower gradually losing their breath, the general guarding the city gritted his teeth: "Come on, open the city gate! "

Open the city gate a little and let the people in first.

Otherwise, if the urgent intelligence is delayed, he is afraid that he will be criticized by the officials in the court.

With his order, the city guards opened the South Gate with a bang.

"Stupid!" The creaking sound came from a long distance, Gu Li put his ears to the ground and slowly spit out a word.

In the jungle not far from the city gate, Wu Anhou also had sharp eyes: "Zheng Bin!"

"In!"

Wu Anhou clasped his spear heavily with his big hand, his voice hoarse with excitement: "Attack the city!"

After the city gate opened a small gap, the city guard quietly drilled out from the gap and walked towards the messenger.

"Do! "An arrow flew through the air and hit his throat heavily.

He covered his throat and fell to the ground without saying a word.

The guards also discovered the abnormality: "Enemy attack! Close the city gate!"

But it was too late to react now.

Countless arrows flew from afar, and the huge siege wood, operated by nearly a hundred people, blasted open the unsecured city gate.

At this moment, the little emperor in the palace suddenly rang in the sound of a deep bell.

Perhaps because of peace for a long time, he had forgotten what the bell meant.

But the older palace people all changed their faces.

They had heard this sound before.

"Come here!" The emperor's voice was quite unhappy because he was disturbed in his sleep: "What happened? "

As soon as he finished speaking, a young eunuch came running in, "Your Majesty!"

The voice was full of fear: "The nobles have entered the capital!"

"Report!" An extremely sharp voice came: "The south gate and the north gate of the capital have been breached!"

The emperor's sleepy eyes were completely awake at this moment, and his voice trembled uncontrollably with fear: "This... how is it possible?"

Those people, how dare they?

They are going to rebel!

At this moment, in the Mansion of Duke Fuguo.

Duke Fuguo looked at his second son who was kneeling on the ground, and his voice was cold: "I asked your eldest brother to attack the north city, but let you stay in the city, do you know why."

The second son's expression changed slightly, and then he said: "Son doesn't know, but everything is decided by father. "

After tonight, there will be no one in the world more noble than their Fuguo Mansion. Even the royal family will become puppets in their hands.

"Now, I have two things to entrust to you." Fuguo Duke looked solemnly at his son kneeling on the ground: "First, go to Anjun Prince's Mansion and bring out their little prince."

"Yes."

"Second," Fuguo Duke looked solemnly at the sky and sneered: "Go to Yong'an Earl's Mansion and bring the heads of their family. "

He has come to this day because of the pressure from the Yong'an Marquis' Mansion. So

what if he has power over the government and the country? Won't he still be labeled a traitor and a thief in the history books?

All this should be paid for with the blood of the Gu family.

With his order, the private soldiers hidden in the mansions of various nobles also came out.

In one night, the extremely prosperous capital was filled with soldiers.

The sound of armor rang in the middle of the night, making the people nervous.

Everyone wrapped themselves tightly in the quilts silently, not daring to say a word.

Even if a child wanted to cry, his mother would cover his mouth with her shaking hands.

In the mansion of Earl Yong'an, Earl Yong'an was speechless for a moment as he looked at the elite soldiers who had crowded into the mansion.

He had thought about leaving the capital before those people took action, but the spies guarding the door would not allow him to do so.

When he was feeling uneasy, a group of people sneaked into his house in the middle of the night.

Although he was not engaged in production, he had some understanding of the soldiers because of his father.

These soldiers with neat military appearance and powerful aura were all elite.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was willing to send so many elite soldiers to protect him at this time, and Earl Yong'an could not help but show a trace of emotion on his old face.

It seems that my daughter will not be abandoned by chaos.

In the murderous atmosphere, several soldiers also looked at Yong'an Earl curiously.

Are these General Gu's parents?

I wonder if General Gu's parents are good at training soldiers.

Thinking of those days of ecstasy, the expressions on the soldiers' faces became more solemn.

They must protect Yong'an Earl at all costs, otherwise what awaits them is endless training.

Although the treatment of elite soldiers is good, they can't bear it!

Suddenly, the sound of chaotic footsteps at the door disturbed their thoughts.
