A Clash of Gods - Chapter 1392

[Chapter 1381 The only chance]

Xiao Shaozong hadn’t spoken yet, but Dou Kui had already sneered: “Master Lu, is it treasonous to lead an assassin to trespass into the inner palace? Is it treason to assassinate the emperor?”

“That’s natural.” Lu Xiao nodded and said, “This officer asked why he rebelled.”

“Then you should ask Qi Ning.” Dou Kui said, “Who knows what kind of mischief this person has.” Then he bowed to Xiao Shaozong: “My lord, the emperor was killed, this matter cannot be publicized for the time being. At this time of crisis, I also ask the lord to preside over the overall situation and stabilize the world.”

Immediately on the side, many officials said: “I implore the lord to take charge of the overall situation!”

Xiao Shaozong sighed: “Xiao Wang is stupid, but now is the time of my great Chu crisis. Xiao Wang is the direct bloodline of Emperor Taizu. When the country is in trouble, in order to protect the country left by our ancestors, it is naturally a duty.” He handed over to the officials and said: “My lords, in times of crisis, I also ask you to help each other with Xiao Wang to tide over the difficulties together.”

“My lord, this old minister is willing to go over and persuade Qi Ning.” Yuan Lao Shang wrote: “If you know it with reason, and move with emotion, even if you can’t persuade him to surrender, you must persuade him to surrender the emperor and the queen.”

Xiao Shaozong shook his head and said: “Absolutely not. The old minister is my important minister of Chu and the most important weapon of the country. It is said that a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. Since Qi Ning dares to attack the emperor, he is already mad, and now Yulin Camp is under his control. Blindfolded, if the old Shang Shu personally goes there, in case there is a mistake, then you can…!”

“The old minister is already at this age, so why bother with this body?” Yuan Lao Shang said sternly: “The palace is in danger, and as a minister, how can you care about your own life.” He pushed away Yuan Moxian who was supporting him and ignored Xiao Shaozong objected and walked towards the city gate. Xiao Shaozong shook his head, and then said solemnly, “Protect the boss!”

The shield soldiers protected Yuan Lao Shangshu. Yuan Moxian saw Lao Shangshu faltering, but he still followed. He knew that the old father was stronger, so he did not reach out to help him at this time, but followed closely.

On the top of the city, Qi Ning, of course, saw the old Shangshu, and there was a trace of joy in his eyes. He said to Yu Bie beside him, “It is Yuan Lao Shangshu under the city. No one can act rashly when the order is sent.”

The old Shangshu walked down to the city, then raised his head and said loudly, “Qining, why are you betraying?”

Although he tried his best to speak loudly, the imperial city was extremely high. He was too old and lacked qi, so the officers and men in the city could not hear clearly. Fortunately, Qi Ning had deep inner strength and amazing ear power, but he could hear very clearly. Yuan Moxian was worried. Qi Ning couldn’t hear it. He was about to speak, but he heard Qi Ning have already said: “Boss, it is not clear whether it is right or wrong now, but the emperor is definitely not harmed by the younger generation.”

“In the forbidden area of the palace, you brought someone into the palace, is this fake?” The old Shangshu asked again.

Qi Ning sighed, “It’s not false.”

“Since it’s not fake, it’s not a rebellion?” The old Shangshu said angrily: “The two generations of the princes of the Qi family in Jinyi are the pillars of the empire. They are loyal to Chu and have made countless contributions. As a member of the Qi family Descendants, do not want to serve the court, but actually murdered the monarch and rebelled, the old man wants an answer now, why do you do this?”

Qi Ning looked down at the old minister, silent, and after a while, he said, “If I said that I entered the palace to be loyal to the Great Chu, no one would believe me.”

The old Shang Shu sighed and said: “At the top of the city is the Yulin army of my Great Chu, and below the city is the Xuanwu Camp Tiger God Camp. These are all the warriors of my Great Chu, do you really want the warriors of my Great Chu to meet each other? Murder? Do you want to insist on such a thing that your relatives hurt your enemies to the end?” Pointing towards the north, he said loudly: “The Qinhuai Army is fighting bloodily on the front line, and the capital is so turbulent, you really want to destroy me with one hand. Da Chu?”

Qi Ning sighed, “What does the old Shangshu want me to do?”

“If you still consider yourself a descendant of Jinyi Qi’s family, and you still consider yourself a minister of the Great Chu, you should tie yourself out of the city now.” The old Shangshu said: “What happened, you can explain clearly in front of the civil and military officials. ”

Qi Ning smiled bitterly and said: “Boss, Xiao Shaozong is plotting to usurp the throne, and now I have soldiers and horses in hand, I am going out of the city at this time, is it not my own death?”

“You said that the King of Huainan usurped the throne,

What evidence is there?

“Old Shang Shu said: “If you have real evidence, take it out now, I believe that the eyes of the civil and military people of the Manchu Dynasty are also sharp.

”

Qi Ning shook his head and said: “Boss, the situation is better than people, so what if you have sharp eyes? Xiao Shaozong wants to kill me and then hurry up. If I don’t die, he is uneasy. This time, whether I have reason or not, he will not give up. .”

“Of course I want to kill you.” Xiao Shaozong’s voice came over, he had already mounted his horse, and under the protection of the shield soldiers came not far behind the old Shangshu, looked up at Qi Ning at the head of the city, expressionless: “I am Taizu. The emperor’s descendants, no matter who wants to bring trouble to Chu, this king will not be merciful.”

Qi Ning raised his finger and pointed at Xiao Shaozong and said with a smile: “Xiao Shaozong, I’m right in front of you, you can attack now!”

“You seem to have underestimated my determination to attack the imperial city.” Xiao Shaozong sighed: “The imperial city is destroyed, it can be rebuilt, the rebellion will not be eliminated, and there will be endless troubles. I just don’t want my great Chu soldiers to shed too much worthless blood. .”

Qi Ning nodded and said with a smile, “Do you even believe what you said? But why do you care about the bloodshed of others?” After a slight pause, he said, “Old Shangshu, Xiao Shaozong wants to get rid of me. , I naturally can’t let the slaughter, but I don’t want to implicate the nobles in the palace. I want to ask you one thing, I wonder if the boss will agree?”

“you say!”

“The empress is still in the palace.” Qi Ning sighed, “If we really want to fight, I’m afraid it will disturb the empress and the nobles in the palace, so… I can let the empress out of the palace, but Mr. Promise me that after the queen leaves the palace, you must ensure their well-being and not let anyone hurt them.”

The old Shang Shu immediately said: “You want to let the queen out of the palace? It’s so good, the old man can guarantee that after the queen leaves the palace, it will be properly settled, and no one will hurt them.”

“I’m not afraid of others, I’m just worried about Xiao Shaozong’s madness.” Qi Ning sighed.

Xiao Shaozong smiled lightly and said, “You want to use this as an excuse to deliberately delay time? But what if you delay some time? Could it be that there are other rebels coming to help you?”

The old Shang Shu turned around and said, “My lord, let the queen go out of the city first, so that the queen and the nobles will not be frightened. This is naturally not a bad thing.”

Xiao Shaozong nodded and said, “What the lord said is very true.” Xiang Qi Ning said, “There is still more than an hour before dawn. Before dawn, you must send the queen out of the city, otherwise this king can only order a siege.”

Qi Ning is not talking nonsense, but Xiao Shaozong has already turned his head and returned to the army.

However, the old Shangshu did not go back to the army, but said loudly: “The old man is here to welcome the queen!”

Yuan Moxian’s lips moved slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn’t say anything after all.

Qi Ning glanced at Yu Biegu and said, “Xiaowei Yu, leave this to you. I will go to Fengyi Palace to invite the Queen out of the city.”

Yu Biegu cupped his hands and said, “Follow the order!”

Qi Ning went down to the top of the city, and Chi Danmei followed closely, frowning: “Why do you want to let the queen out of the city? Do you have any plans?”

“If the queen wants to leave the city, you should also leave the city.” Qi Ning’s expression became serious: “As you said, if the city is besieged with heavy troops, once Xiao Shaozong orders the siege, it will not last long, and Xiao Shaozong has obviously already controlled the situation, once the city is broken , I really can’t think of any other way to turn things around.”

“You let me out of the city?” Chi Danmei was stunned and frowned, “Did you let the queen out of the city just to let me mix in and leave safely?”

Qi Ning smiled and said, “I can’t really let you die in the city with me.”

Chi Danmei shook her head and sighed, “I won’t leave. Since I said I would live and die with you, I naturally won’t leave you behind.”

Qi Ning stopped and thought for a moment before saying, “I just thought of a very important thing, and it is also Xiao Shaozong’s only loophole. In other words, this only loophole may be our only chance to turn the situation around.”

“Vulnerability?”

“Your Majesty!” Qi Ning said solemnly: “Xiao Shaozong has a paranoid temperament and is destined to give me the last chance because of this. He usurped the throne just because in his heart, the throne of Great Chu should belong to him. The former emperor and the current sage have occupied his throne, so he wants the emperor to see him take the throne back with his own eyes, and for this reason, before he ascends the throne, he will not kill the emperor.”

Chi Danmei Bingxue is smart. When Qi Ning said this, she immediately understood what she meant and asked in a low voice, “You mean that finding the emperor will solve the situation in front of you?”

“As long as the emperor is rescued, the power in Xiao Shaozong’s hands will disappear in an instant.” Qi Ning sneered: “The methods Xiao Shaozong used from beginning to end were all shady conspiracies, not really gathering troops from all walks of life. Although he now holds great power, he has a solid foundation. But it is not reliable, if the civil and military officials and soldiers see that the emperor is still alive, then the rumors he weaved will not be self-defeating, and everything will collapse.”

Chi Danmei thought for a moment before saying: “Xiao Shaozong left the emperor, and of course he knew that was the only weakness he might have. This is like a martial arts practitioner, who has a fatal barrier, and will naturally not hesitate to fight against others. Protect the gate at all costs. The emperor is Xiao Shaozong’s gate, so he will naturally try his best to protect it. If the emperor is not in the palace, will he definitely be in the capital? Is it possible that he has already been sent out of the city by Xiao Shaozong and has long been away from the capital ?”

“Naturally there is a possibility.” Qi Ning nodded and said, “But I believe that the emperor is still in the city. Xiao Shaozong played such a big play. Of course, I hope it will be staged under the eyes of the emperor, so he should not send the emperor away. Beijing.”

“Even if he is really in the capital, where is the emperor?” Chi Dan frowned and said: “There are millions of people in the capital, there are many towns, and countless houses. If you want to hide one person in the capital, even if you mobilize thousands of people. If you look through the capital from beginning to end, you may not be able to find it…!”

“I’ve been thinking about it all the time.” Qi Ning was thoughtful, silent for a while, and finally said, “The most likely places are only two!”
