The Book of Troubled Times Chapter 685

Hurrying to Beijing from the west, the road is along the mountains, which is the famous Taihang Mountains.

　　When the Taihang Mountains reach the end of its remaining range, there is a mountain named Xishan. After passing the Xishan Mountain, the open land in front is the capital city. Xishan actually means the mountain west of the capital.

By the time Yeletu led his troops to Xishan, it was already late at night, and the capital was still difficult to see in the snowy night.

He suddenly stretched out his hand to stop the team: "The closer we get to the target, the less we can relax... The tactics of Middle-earth are very different from ours, so be careful about ambushes. Go to the two teams and explore the mountains on the left and right in front."

 Soon, two teams dismounted and started to use light skills to penetrate into the forest ahead.

The cavalry reined in their horses and looked around. The mountains and forests were dark in the night, and they looked a little mysterious and scary for no reason.

There are many differences between fighting in the snow and the routine. For example, in the mountains and forests, it is impossible to judge whether there are people by the presence of startled birds, because there are not many birds in the first place.

But everyone still felt that the protector was too concerned. How could Xia Jing arrange an ambush here if he was in good health? They didn't have any troops.

 Not long after, the scout reported back: "There is no ambush."

Yeletu breathed a sigh of relief: "It seems that they are really undefended, speeding up and sending out signals!"

 “Whoosh!” A firework shot straight into the sky, and Qingqi headed straight for the capital.

Lu Jianzhang stayed up all night, looking at the moon on the roof of his house. When he saw the fireworks in the distance, he finally breathed out: "Get ready."

Originally, Lu Jianzhang had no objections. He followed Xia Longyuan and Xia Chichi.

Earlier, Xia Longyuan let fake people govern. As prime minister, he could get more benefits and authority, but in fact, he was still vain. He was afraid that the king who was the best in the world would suddenly become more serious, and he was frightened day and night. It is said that fakes have made many stupid moves, and everyone places the first responsibility on Xia Longyuan himself. If it were not Xia Longyuan's indulgence, what can fakes do? But what about secondary blame? No one said.

The second culprit is of course him as the prime minister. To be honest, it is okay to say that he is the first culprit. If Xia Longyuan wanted to govern, he would have been the first to behead him.

Now Xia Chichi will not settle these old scores for the sake of the stability of the new dynasty. He, Lu Jianzhang, originally thought that it would be better to hang out with the new dynasty than before. He did not have as much power as before. It didn't matter. The victory was stability. At the beginning of the founding of the new dynasty, Lu Jianzhang actually put forward many useful suggestions for revitalizing the economy.

 But absolutely no, the new emperor should not really continue to follow the previous emperor's path of suppressing aristocratic families. Although Xia Chichi did not show it for the time being, everyone understood the contents of the Cui family's demotion.

Even the Cui family has given up their martial arts in order to survive, so what else can other families want to end up with?

Your new dynasty has just been established and is withering everywhere. You don't seek stability, and you actually start to use such a knife that hurts your muscles and bones. Putting aside his own interests, Lu Jianzhang also felt that this new dynasty had no future when talking about the prospects of the empire.

What's even more funny is that within two days, the only army that could fight was transferred away to fight against the Wang family... Do you really think that the capital is as stable as Mount Tai?

Lu Jianzhang strode downstairs and led everyone out of the house.

Not long after, the sound of horse hooves sounded loudly at the west gate of the capital, and Yeletu led the crowd to the city gate. Their internal response was more direct than Guichen's at the Wang family, and the city gate guard opened the door directly.

Yeltu led his army straight in, stepped onto the main street without any hindrance, and went straight to the palace.

It's easier than imagined... Previously, the bureaucracy in the capital was unorganized, and the Four Symbols cultists easily controlled the capital. But this time, the Four Symbols cultists were unprepared. Now most of them are probably sleeping outside the palace gate, and only some are being lazy and dozing around. The imperial guardsmen were stunned when they saw the barbarian army sweeping in.

　　"唰!" Yeletu chopped up a forbidden soldier with one knife, flew up, and struck the middle of the palace door with his knife.

The chaos inside the gate can already be heard, and the Four Symbols cultists are shouting: "The enemy is attacking! Guard the city gate quickly!"

 For a strong man like Yeletu, the city gate's protective power is really not great. Within two or three swords, the palace door opened, Yeletu turned back on his horse, and Qingqi swept in.

But the team was only halfway through the door when Yeletu's movements froze and he reined in his horse in shock. A neat military formation of spears stood in the square in front, and the cold light on the spear points shone brightly in the snow. Xia Chichi stood in the military formation wearing a dragon robe, protected on the left and right by high-level protectors of the Four Elephants Sect.

It turned out that the emperor had been standing here for a long time, and the Four Symbol Cults were waiting in full formation. The chaos inside was completely staged, and when they broke into the palace entrance, they were stuck in a position where they could not form their formation, unable to advance or retreat.

Yeletu suddenly looked back. Outside the palace gate, countless Four-Xiang cultists appeared indistinctly on the left and right streets, blocking the main roads everywhere.

 This is a complete trap!

This new emperor actually knew that they would come for a sneak attack, and when he knew about it, he didn't set up an ambush outside, and forcefully led them to the palace gate for a decisive battle?

Xia Chichi looked at Yeletu up and down and sighed: "It's not interesting. I thought it would be the Vulture tribe. The Vulture Hunters injured Changhe back then, and they can help him avenge him. I don't know who this is. .”

Yeletu's expression was extremely solemn. The new emperor stood there with no flaw in her body. With such magnanimity and martial arts, she was definitely not in the middle of people's list of people. She was most likely the second level secret treasure, the earth list. Ability!

 That's all wrong!

Yelatu took a deep breath: "Where is Lu Jianzhang?"

Xia Chichi smiled slightly: "Did you think he would lead the crowd to support you? It's a pity that the so-called 'people' can't even get out of their alley."

 She yawned, waved her hand and said, "Fire the arrow!"

 In the spear formation, arrows rained down like rain.

Yeletu shouted loudly, swung the long sword in his hand and blocked the rain of arrows for his subordinates. At the same time, he shouted: "Where is the God!"

Xia Chi sighed: "My venerable man is watching and we will fight well. What's the use of asking this person and that person?"

Yelatu felt extremely aggrieved. He always felt that the other party was acting like a housewife, but was playing like a dog in a war that everyone took extremely seriously.

He couldn't help but asked one more question: "Now it seems that your army and horses must not have gone to Langya. Where are they?"

Xia Chichi sighed and said: "We are ambushing the Li family's follow-up troops in Taihang. You guys are too busy on the road, so you won't go into the forest to explore all the way. At most, you can explore in the last Western Mountain? But we didn't ambush in the Western Mountain... By the way , since you have already passed the mountain and sent out the signal, the Li family behind saw it and thought that you had already explored it, and most likely you would not have sent out sentries all the way, so you did me a small favor?"

Yeltu: “…”

 “Whoosh whoosh!” The second round of arrow rain fell like locusts, Xia Chichi moved lightly, and the snowflakes in the sky became even colder.

When Yeletu entered the city, at the other end of the capital, there was Wuyi Lane, where the residences of many senior officials and dignitaries of the capital were gathered. Countless servants from the residences of many high-ranking officials, headed by Lu Jianzhang, gathered out of the alley and tried to rush in behind Yeletu. Miyagi.

Lu Jianzhang even planned to divide his troops: "Shouyi, when it rains, you will lead the crowd to the Tang family and entangle the Tang leader. Do you have the confidence?"

Lu Shouyi and Pei Yushi were the outstanding leaders of the Lu and Pei families. Both of them are just lists of people, but when Zhao Changhe met Lu Shouyi in Bashu, he suspected that Lu Shouyi was close to the edge of the second level secret treasure. In fact, he has made a breakthrough these days, and Pei Yushi is almost the same. In addition, there are many powerful people in the ninth level of Xuan Guan who are close to the rankings of the major aristocratic families. Once the terrifying background of the aristocratic families is combined, it will be enough power to overthrow the capital.

If the Suppressing Demon Division was unprepared, it would not be difficult to defeat the Suppressing Demon Division, but it would be even better if it was just to entangle Tang Wanzhuang.

Lu Shouyi was quite cautious: "It's hard to say, but it should be okay just to entangle the Tang Chief... Qin Dingjiang had committed a serious crime and was imprisoned. Now the Demon Suppressing Division lacks other prestigious and capable generals. If the Tang Chief is lost, the Demon Suppressing Division will be in trouble." Si has nothing to fear."

There was a long sigh in the air: "It would be great if your wisdom and planning could be used by foreigners... How can you use your heart and soul just to collaborate with the enemy and betray the Lord, and be infamy for thousands of years?"

Everyone in the alley immediately changed their expressions. When they looked up, Tang Wanzhuang was standing on the wall, watching them quietly. Beside him were the elite generals of the Demon Suppression Division, all of them with their bows and arrows aimed at the alley.

　　The snowy night was extremely cold, but the makeup in the late Tang Dynasty no longer had the thick mink fur as before. She was dressed in moon-white light clothes, as beautiful as a picture.

 She was no longer afraid of the cold...but everyone present felt a chill in their hearts.
