A Clash of Gods - Chapter 1388

[Chapter 1377 Soldiers approaching the city]

The capital of Jianye was still in a deep sleep, but on both sides of the street leading to the imperial city from several gates, many sleeping people were awakened by the noise outside.

The capital has always been heavily guarded. Since the Qinhuai Army Corps went north, the capital of Jianye has imposed a curfew. After dark, the streets and alleys are prohibited from walking, so at night the entire capital will be deadly silent, and the people will be locked up. Don’t dare to go out easily with your own doors and windows.

But tonight was clearly special.

The noise in the street outside shouldn’t have been there.

The awakened people looked out through the cracks in the windows, only to find that on the long street, a group of soldiers and horses were marching towards the city, like a pack of wolves breaking into the capital. The long street shone as bright as day, and the firelight shone on the spears and swords of the soldiers and on the armor, emitting a cold light.

The people who saw this scene were terrified.

Many people did not dare to open the windows, but leaned close to the windows to listen, and heard the sound of armor rubbing against each other, the sound of neat and rapid steps, and the sound of horses’ hooves. Wherever they passed, it was like thunder shaking the earth.

The north gate of the capital of Jianye is Zhengwu Gate. After entering Zhengwu Gate, the broad Xuanwu Street leads directly to the imperial city. There are no obstacles in the way. The densely packed soldiers and horses march from Xuanwu Street straight to the imperial city in an orderly manner. Cavalry in a row, after hundreds of cavalry, is the infantry with distinctive armor.

The horses swept past, picking up the dust on the long street, and the whole team was like a giant dragon that broke into the capital, rushing towards the heart of the capital fiercely, as if to swallow the heart of the capital in one bite.

In the team, flags were fluttering, and the light yellow flag was painted with the word “Xuanwu”, which was blood-red handwriting, giving people a cruel and murderous intention of blood splashing on it.

Xuanwu Battalion is the main force guarding the capital. Although the equipment and combat power may not be better than Yulin Battalion or even Tiger God Battalion, there are many soldiers and horses, and there are tens of thousands of them, but since the establishment of Xuanwu Battalion, they have never seen it before. The soldiers and horses of the Xuanwu Camp had entered the imperial city.

Xuanwu Camp has been stationed in the northwest direction of the capital. The military regulations are strict. Without the emperor’s will and the order of the Ministry of War, no soldier or soldier can leave the station without authorization.

The Xuanwu Camp has always been the most complicated of the several troops and horses in the capital. There are many forces among them. Whether it is the Jinyi Qi family or the Jindao Tantai family, or even the Sima family and the Wuxiang Housu family, they can all be in the Xuanwu Camp. However, with the ups and downs of these major families, the power of the Wuxiang Hou Su family almost disappeared in Xuanwu Camp. When the Sima Clan took power, they reorganized the Xuanwu Camp, and even joined forces with the King of Huainan. When he made a deal and promised to transfer Wu Dalin out of the Yulin Camp, he had Qu Yanzhi, the deputy commander of the Black Sword Battalion, be transferred to the Xuanwu Battalion as the commander. Taking this opportunity, he was already out of the army. The weakened Jinyi Qi family and Tantai Golden Sabre forces.

It was only after the emperor got rid of the Sima Clan that Qu Yanzhi was transferred back to the Black Sabre Camp to replace the dead Chu Cangge to lead the Black Sabre Camp.

The emperor did not directly issue a decree, but first asked the generals of the Xuanwu battalion to recommend generals who could convince the public. Qin Zhong stood out and was recommended as a new candidate by the generals, and the emperor quickly ordered Qin Zhong to be the commander of the Xuanwu battalion.

Qin Zhong can be elected by the generals as the commander of the Xuanwu battalion. Of course, he has the ability to command the army, but the most important thing is his background.

Qin Zhong’s father followed the old Marquis of Tantai to fight in the early years, and was later transferred to the old Marquis of Wuxiang. When Qin Zhong was young, he also trained under the old Marquis of Wuxiang, and then he was transferred to the Qinhuai

Army. He made a lot of credits on the battlefield, and was later transferred to Xuanwu Camp as a deputy commander because of his merits.

The Qin family has some relationship with several great hereditary princes, so no one knows for sure which faction he belongs to, and when there is a dispute between the factions in the Xuanwu camp, Qin Zhong has always avoided it. Come, after Qin Zhong assumes the command, he can at least balance the forces of the various factions in the army.

After Qin Zhong took office, he didn’t know if he had received the emperor’s instructions to rectify the Xuanwu camp. Many generals at the bottom were promoted, but many veterans were dismissed. Most of the generals at the bottom were from grass roots, and there was no one behind them. The background of the hereditary marquis, although it is impossible to completely eliminate the factional disputes in the Xuanwu camp in a short time, but Qin Zhong has also controlled the Xuanwu camp.

Under a big banner with red letters on a black background, Qin Zhong rode on his horse, squinting slightly, watching the soldiers of the Xuanwu Battalion advancing in an endless stream along Xuanwu Street toward the imperial city.

His expression was stern, the black armor draped over his strong and burly body, and he had an aura that was not angry and self-proud.

He knew better than anyone the duty of the Xuanwu Battalion. It was an army that guarded the capital and guarded against any foreign soldiers and horses that approached the capital, but he obviously did not expect that one day this army would enter the capital through Zhengwu Gate, and the target would be Point to the imperial city.

Although there was no order from the Ministry of War, the emperor’s decree was enough for Qin Zhong to immediately order.

The Xuanwu Camp had 15,000 soldiers and horses. Although he received the emperor’s will to enter the city to quell the chaos, Qin Zhong still left 3,000 soldiers and horses to be stationed in the camp to prevent accidents.

The remaining soldiers and horses were divided into four routes, entering from the four gates of the capital. Among the four routes of soldiers and horses, he personally led 2,000 soldiers and horses to enter through the Zhengwu Gate, and the remaining 10,000 soldiers were divided into three routes, and the soldiers and horses were divided into three routes. The Ministry will enter the city from the other three gates.

When the soldiers and horses approached the city gate, the Tiger God Battalion, which controlled the city gate, immediately opened the city gate, which made Qin Zhongkuan, who was once doubtful, relieved. Since the Tiger God Battalion was able to open the door, it also proved that the Tiger God Battalion also received peace. Messy intentions.

The soldiers of the Xuanwu Battalion advanced strongly and powerfully.

With the light of the fire and the sound of horses’ hooves, Qi Ning at the head of the imperial city naturally saw the soldiers and horses moving towards this side.

The entire imperial city was a trap, and now Qi Ning finally fully understood Xiao Shaozong’s plans.

Xiao Shaozong pretended to use the emperor’s will to mobilize troops and horses into the city. Naturally, he wanted to besiege the imperial city. In the eyes of the world, Qi Ning’s infiltration into the palace was of course a conspiracy. Xiao Shaozong detained the name of treason by entering the palace and assassinating. It is to exterminate Qi Ning, the wicked traitor.

Xiao Shaozong may not have thought that Yu Linwei would be subdued by Qi Ning. Perhaps in Xiao Shaozong’s plan, Yu Linwei searched for Qi Ning in the palace. It would be better for Qi Ning to die in the hands of Yu Linwei, even if Yu Linwei couldn’t. Kill Qi Ning, but transfer troops into the city and surround the entire imperial city. Even if Qi Ning has the strength of a great master, he will not be able to fight against thousands of troops.

Qin Ning’s expression was solemn.

If the Yulin camp was captured by himself, then Xiao Shaozong would of course turn Yulinwei into a rebel army. For Xiao Shaozong, it didn’t matter how many people sacrificed, as long as Qi Ning could be completely killed, Yulinwei would be buried with him.

Xuanwu Battalion, Tiger God Battalion, and even the Black Sabre Battalion together had tens of thousands of troops, while the Yulin guards in the palace were less than a thousand, and they had to guard each gate of the palace and the gates of the imperial city. There are only a few hundred soldiers, and there is a world of difference in strength.

Before entering the city to completely besiege the imperial city, Qi Ning certainly still has a chance to leave, but he is very clear that if he leaves at this time, then Xiao Shaozong’s charges against him will be completely confirmed, and everyone in the world will think that he is a The traitorous ministers of the state of Chu cannot be explained in any way.

“Your Highness!” Qi Ning was looking at the soldiers and horses that rolled towards the imperial city like a fire dragon, when he heard someone from behind: “He vice-commander invites you to a place.”

Qi Ning frowned and hesitated for a moment .

, followed the man into the palace and arrived at a palace. He Qingzheng waited outside the palace with a stern expression on his face. Seeing Qi Ning coming over, he hesitated before stepping forward and said in a low voice, “Master Guo, found it. Your Majesty!”

Qi Ning’s body was shocked, “Your Majesty?”

“Your Highness, please!” He Qing raised his hand, and Qi Ning entered the hall. He Qing led the way to the outside of a warm pavilion. Guarding in front of the door, He Qing pushed open the door and glanced at Qi Ning. Qi Ning stepped into the warm pavilion. As soon as he entered it, he smelled a bloody smell. He took a few steps forward. The bead curtain was separated, and behind the curtain there was an antique soft couch. He Qing raised his hand to lift the bead curtain, and Qi Ning saw a person lying on the soft couch. He approached slowly and saw that the man was wearing a dragon robe. Lying on the couch with his limbs spread out, fresh blood dripped down from the wooden couch, and the blood dripped on the ground, which is why the bloody smell came out.

Qi Ning clenched his fists and walked to the edge of the wooden couch. He saw that the man’s throat had been cut open, and there was blood on the bottom. Perhaps it had been too long and the blood had solidified, but that face was exactly what the little emperor Longtai looked like.

Qi Ning changed color slightly and glanced at He Qing. He Qing looked solemn. Qi

Ning stared at the man’s face.

He seemed to be relieved, and said: “But the appearance is very similar to the emperor.”

“Xiao Shaozong has always used the emperor’s name to control the government, so naturally he has already chosen a substitute.” Qi Ning said, “The puppet’s blood has already solidified, and it should have been dead for a while. If I am not wrong, Xiao Shaozong left the palace and treated him to him. Poisoned.” He sneered: “He said that I entered the palace to assassinate the emperor. This is to leave evidence here to prove that the emperor was indeed killed. UUkanshu www.sonicmtl.com”

“For the time being, few people know about it.” He Qing said in a low voice, “I have already told them not to speak up when I found the two people here. If someone mistakenly thinks this puppet is the emperor, it will inevitably cause a commotion. I’m afraid the situation can’t be controlled.”

Qi Ning nodded slightly and stared at He Qing said with eyes: “Why does Deputy Commander He believe that he must be a puppet? Why does he believe me?”

“The first emperor was wise and wise, and the arrangement he made will definitely not be a problem.” He Qing’s voice was not loud, but Resolutely: “Since the silver sword is in the hands of the grandfather, then the grandfather must be the savior to save the Great Chu, and he will definitely help him at the end of the day, and he will never give up!”
