A Clash of Gods - Chapter 1391

[Chapter 1380 Under the Imperial City]

Xiao Shaozong is extremely cunning, and Qi Ning has naturally seen it through, but this person has such deep inner strength, which really surprised Qi Ning.

He suddenly realized that Xiao Shaozong knew a lot about himself, he knew himself and the enemy, but he knew too little about Xiao Shaozong. With this alone, Xiao Shaozong already had the upper hand. In this dwarf-like prince, he really There are too many hidden secrets.

He stared at Xiao Shaozong under the city, a smile appeared on his lips again, and said to the city, “Xiao Shaozong, do you know the guilt?”

He was full of internal energy, and when he shouted out, the soldiers on both sides could hear it clearly.

Xiao Shaozong showed a smile and said, “You entered the palace to assassinate the emperor, and now you are leading the Yulin camp to rebel and rebel. The old marquis in Jinyi and General Qi knew about it, and they must be heartbroken. How could they have thought that Qi There are such disloyal and unfilial rebels in the family.”

“The King of Huainan can be considered a handsome and sturdy figure, but why did he give birth to a son as short as a dwarf like you?” Qi Ning sighed, “Xiao Shaozong, tell me the truth, are you really the son of the King of Huainan?”

Such vicious language, Qi Ning said lightly that he would come out, and many people were shocked.

This is already like a diabolical scolding, but the lethality is so strong.

Xiao Shaozong’s eyes twitched slightly, but he remained calm and said, “It’s really disappointing that someone from a dignified family in fine clothes and robes should say such vulgar words.”

“In comparison, I think King Huainan is even more disappointed.” Qi Ning said, “In order to achieve his goals, he used his own father as a tool, Xiao Shaozong, your vicious heart is rare in the world.” He let out a long sigh. , said: “It’s a pity that the stupid husband of King Huainan, even if he died, did not understand that it was his son who sent him to a desperate situation.”

Xiao Shaozong shook his head and said, “You know very well that it is not difficult to break through the imperial city. There are only a thousand soldiers in the city. Why do you want to make them a traitorous army?”

Qi Ning put his hands on the battlements and stared at Xiao Shaozong without speaking. After a long time, he finally said, “Xiao Shaozong, surrender!”

This word spread far and wide. Whether it was the Yulin Guard at the top of the city or the soldiers and horses at the bottom of the city, they only thought that Qi Ning had gone crazy. Now the soldiers are under the city, the imperial city is trapped, and the Yulin Guards are ten times as strong as their own soldiers and horses. Being besieged, Qi Ning was already like a turtle in an urn, but in such a situation, Qi Ning actually made Xiao Shaozong surrender, everyone felt extremely ridiculous, and some even felt that there was something wrong with their ears, otherwise how could they hear such incredible words.

Chi Danmei was also stunned, looked at Qi Ning, saw Qi Ning smiling, and looked calm.

“If you get off your horse and kneel under the city now, I can guarantee that your life will be safe.” Qi Ning said, “I will invite the emperor and let you guard the mausoleum for Emperor Taizu. Over the years, you have been in the palace of Huainan like a turtle. I must have gotten used to being alone.”

Xiao Shaozong seemed to feel that he could not communicate with Qi Ning, so he said directly: “Hand over the Holy Body of the Emperor!”

Qi Ning sneered, Xiao Shaozong did not say to hand over the emperor, but said to hand over the emperor’s holy body, which meant that everyone felt that the emperor’s life and death were uncertain.

At this moment, Qi Ning saw a group of people appearing behind the army formation, and there was a commotion in the originally deadly silent army formation.

Of course, Xiao Shaozong also noticed the sweeping movement from the rear. He turned the horse’s head and turned it around. He saw a large group of officials being stopped by the soldiers and horses. Hearing someone shouting over there, Xiao Shaozong whispered a few words to a general beside him. The general rode his horse over and ordered the soldiers to clear the way. Dozens of officials came over to Xiao Shaozong immediately. The first one was Yuan Shangshu, an old-fashioned Ritualist, supported by Lu Xiao and Yuan Moxian from the Ministry of War, followed by many officials.

Xiao Shaozong got off his horse and went forward, but he bowed his hands to the officials first.

Yuan Lao Shangshu glanced at Chengtou, and finally said, “Your Highness, this…what’s going on here?”

“Old Shangshu, Qi Ning assassinated the emperor, and now he is defending the imperial city with the Yulin army.

Xiao Shaozong smiled bitterly and said: “The incident happened in a hurry, Xiao Wang was ordered by the emperor to deploy troops to encircle and suppress the rebellion.

”

All the officials turned pale, and Lu Xiao immediately asked, “Your Highness, you said that Qi Ning assassinated the emperor, then… where is the emperor now?”

“Your Majesty… has passed away.” Xiao Shaozong’s eyes were red, and he choked up: “Xiao Wang was ordered to go out of the city to mobilize troops and horses, and dare not delay…!”

As soon as this statement came out, the ministers were horrified, and many people were already crying. Lu Xiao asked urgently: “The emperor was killed, then… Where is the Holy Body now?”

Xiao Shaozong said, “It’s still in the palace.” He called out, “Where is Guihe?”

From behind, someone came forward, it was Guihe, the eunuch in the palace, who was tearful, knelt on the ground, and said in a trembling voice: “Everyone… Sirs, the emperor has passed away… ….!”

Yuan Lao Shang Shu sternly said, “What happened?”

“My lord was discussing with the emperor tonight when an assassin suddenly appeared. I was waiting for the emperor to leave, but the number of assassins was large…!” Gui He wiped his tears and said, “We recognized that the assassin was a traitor. Led by Qi Ning, the assassins are ruthless, the emperor handed the golden arrow to the prince, and ordered the prince to send the Yulin army into the palace to hunt down the assassins, but…but…!”

“But what?” Lu Xiao said sharply.

“But before the Yulin army could be dispatched, the emperor… was stabbed.” Guihe cried: “The slaves have no ability to rescue the emperor, and the crime deserves death. !”

At this time, the officials were crying one after another, and an official was snatched up behind him and loudly said: “My lord, let’s go into the city, catch the traitor Qi Ning, and kill him with a thousand cuts…!” It is Dou Kui, the minister of households.

Xiao Shaozong sighed: “The Yulin army has internal ghosts and helped Qi Ning to control the Yulin camp. Xiao Wang had no choice but to immediately mobilize the troops outside the city and enter the city to pacify the chaos.”

Lu Xiao said: “Your Highness should know that to mobilize troops and horses, there must be an order from the Ministry of War. Tonight, the troops and horses entered the city, and the Ministry of War did not know, is this…?”

“Master Lu, pacifying the thieves is like putting out a fire, and there is no delay.” Dou Kui immediately said, “Do you want the lord to inform the Ministry of War first, and then consult the Ministry of War to transfer troops? If so, the rebels would have run away long ago. ”

“That’s right, the lord must be decisive. Only then can Qi Ning be trapped in the city in time.” An official immediately replied: “Now that the imperial city is surrounded, it will be difficult for a traitor to fly.”

Xiao Shaozong said: “Master Lu, the emperor gave me the golden arrow. The purpose is to quickly mobilize troops to pacify the chaos. I really don’t dare to delay. If Master Lu thinks this is against the law of the country, after the rebellion is quelled, Xiao Wang will take the blame.”

Lu Xiao was speechless when he said this.

“Bring the golden arrows!” Xiao Shaozong said solemnly.

Another person came up behind, holding a golden arrow rolled up with yellow silk in his hand. After Xiao Shaozong took it, he opened it carefully. The golden arrow was only in the shape of an arrow, but it was not as long as an ordinary arrow. The gold medal and the jade seal all represent the emperor’s power and position. The gold medal has always been given to the expatriate envoys, while the golden arrow is directly used to mobilize troops. When the Gyeonggi military sees the golden arrow, it is like seeing the emperor. With this golden arrow, it is possible to mobilize troops and horses in times of crisis.

“My lord, when the assassin entered the palace to assassinate, did the secret guard in the palace fail to take action?” Lu Xiao frowned and said, “Why did the emperor ask the lord to mobilize Yu Linwei?”

“The dark guards are distributed all over the palace, and the number of them is not large. If there are only a few assassins, it is more than enough to be dealt with by the dark guards in the palace.” Xiao Shaozong said calmly: “But there are a large number of assassins entering the palace tonight, and they are divided into different groups. In order to ensure that the assassins can be wiped out, it is naturally necessary to mobilize the Yulin army.”

“Since the Yulin Camp has been mobilized, why does the lord have to transfer the Xuanwu Camp to the capital?” Lu Xiao asked.

Xiao Shaozong took out a note from his arms and handed it to Lu Xiao. Lu Xiao took it with his hand and glanced at it, his face changed suddenly: “Is there a traitor in Yulin Camp?” He looked up at Xiao Shaozong: “My lord, UU reading www.sonicmtl. com where did this come from?”

Xiao Shaozong said: “Xiao Wang rushed to Yulin Camp and ordered Chi Fengdian to lead his troops into the palace to suppress the thieves. When he was out of England, someone suddenly put this note to Xiao Wang. When I saw the content inside, I was skeptical, but… If there are ghosts in Yulin Camp, then there must be changes in the palace, so Xiao Wang transferred troops from outside the city to make sure everything is safe, but he didn’t know that Yulin Camp actually It’s really the opposite.”

Lu Xiao and Lao Shangshu looked at each other with suspicion.

“My lord, are you sure that the emperor has been killed?” Yuan Lao Shang Shu pondered for a while, and finally asked.

Xiao Shaozong sighed: “Xiao Wang only hoped that it was fake, but when your father-in-law saw it with his own eyes, he came out of the palace to report, and Xiao Wang couldn’t believe it.”

Lu Xiao glanced at the top of the imperial city and said, “My lord, there are the empress and many nobles in the palace. If you order a siege, do you know the consequences?”

“Xiao Wang naturally knows.” Xiao Shaozong sighed: “So Xiao Wang did not order the siege, but temporarily besieged it, because he was worried that Qi Ning would be mad and it would be detrimental to the queen and the nobles.”

Yuan Lao Shang said: “Then what is the prince going to do now?”

“Little Wang has asked Qi Ning to hand over the Emperor’s Holy Body.” Xiao Shaozong said solemnly, “It’s just that this person is stubborn. Fortunately, the adults came in time. What should I do next? Xiao Wang wants to discuss with you all. It is necessary to discuss a good method, which will not only prevent the emperor’s Holy Body from being damaged, but also ensure the safety of the empress and nobles, and the most important thing is to rectify these monarchs and rebels.”

Lu Xiao suddenly asked: “My lord, with all due respect, what is the reason for Qi Ning entering the palace to assassinate the emperor? He is already the duke of the empire and is highly valued by the emperor. Why would he rebel against the imperial court and sneak into the palace to assassinate the emperor?” Xiao Shaozong: “What reason does he have to do this?”
