Chapter 588: The Banquet of the National Teacher's Mansion

Originally, some people still had a perfunctory attitude, thinking that they would go to the ventilating and report when they were free, but in this way, they hesitated. Is it worth it to die for a dying dynasty? It seems not worth the slightest effort to take the risk for the sake of a loyalty that I don't know if the king will believe. Not to mention offending the mercenaries because of this, I'm afraid that it won't be safe anywhere in the world.

With the army's affairs settled, He Guang finally put his mind at ease and began to plan every move of the night.

It was finally getting dark. There is no curfew in Vientiane City, so at this time, lanterns are hung everywhere, which is very prosperous and lively. Especially in this evening's National Teacher's Mansion, it was full of friends, and the carriages arrived one after another, and the sound of greetings continued to sound one after another.

The national teacher Longqi greeted him at the door in person, giving the guests enough face and making everyone's faces even more brilliant. Looking at everyone, how can there be a person with a worried country and people on his face?

After waiting for more than an hour to pass, and after not seeing any guests coming, Long Qi patted his lower back, and said to the housekeeper behind him with a very tired look: "You can seal the door, and you are not allowed to enter or leave without an order." ”

"Don't worry, master, the little one knows how to do it." The housekeeper nodded, this old man who had followed the national teacher for decades naturally knew what to do, and even knew what might happen next.

The ministers were surrounded in one place, and the other side of the barracks also began to move. The first step was to encircle the five thousand king's guards, which had not yet been assigned to them. Fortunately, their guard captain Maude had already gone to the National Teacher's Mansion for a banquet, and the dragons were leaderless, so it was not very troublesome to deal with.

The second step was to surround the palace and not allow anyone to enter or leave without an order. This was tantamount to cutting off the king's ties with the rest of the world.

The third step is to open the gates and let in the mercenaries who have been placed outside the city.

Let's talk about the first step of the plan, first 8,000 soldiers surrounded the barracks of the king's guards, and then under the protection of a group of personal guards, He Guang walked into the army, holding His Majesty's false will and talking about the decision that the 5,000 soldiers should also be attributed to his own leadership.

Among these 5,000 people, there are many of Maude's henchmen, and when they saw that the master did not appear, they felt that something was wrong, and they were bold, so they wanted to see the royal edict in He Guang's hand to distinguish between truth and falsehood.

"Hmph, with your identity and so on, where did you get the power to see the king's edict, I think you are clearly taking the opportunity to rebel and come to someone! Take. "He Guang will not reason with anyone, under the power of the army, he only needs to rely on his own strong strength to push sideways.

A group of pro-soldiers rushed up, but anyone who disobeyed was a killing word. After rivers of blood flowed and dozens of people's heads and bodies were separated, the others finally became honest and fell to their knees in submission.

The matter of the barracks is settled, and the next thing is the blockade of the palace. There are still five hundred king's guards here, and they are usually all nostrils facing the sky, and it is difficult to take the others in their eyes. At this moment, I saw that someone actually surrounded them, which one was not so anxious to jump to his feet, some of them were short-tempered, and they directly waved their knives and rushed out, a frame that wanted to give people a good look.

"Whoosh!" Bursts of bows and arrows struck, and the ground was full of corpses, which also shocked these people who were above the top. When they knew that the other party wanted to play the real game, they retreated step by step, until they stopped in front of His Majesty's dormitory.

When the news came to his ears, Payasai was really taken aback. He never thought that General He Guang, who was favored by him, would be antipathetic, and this person usually looks very reliable. As the king of a country, he also has his own pride, and before the matter is finalized, he still wants to work hard, so he wants to go out and see He Guang under the protection of several guards.

The men walked out, followed by a rain of arrows that stopped two feet in front of them. They are not targeted, they are just deterred. But this was enough, and Payasa's legs were weak, and if it weren't for the support of the guards around him, I am afraid that he would almost be seated on the ground.

is also a king, he is not like Li Li killed from life and death, he is the inherited throne, when has he ever seen this kind of scene of shouting and shouting and killing? "Quick, go back, go back, signal for help."

Payasai didn't know what was going on outside, but the only way he could do now was to call for help. Soon, a dazzling and colorful fireworks rose into the sky from the palace, which was the king's signal for help.

Fireworks rose into the air, illuminating the sky. The Taishi Mansion not far from the palace can naturally be seen clearly. When some courtiers found out about this signal, they were all shocked, and Maude, the captain of the king's guard, stood up at once and rushed to the outside of the national teacher's mansion.

"General Mo, what do you mean by this? The banquet of the national teacher is not over yet, why are you in such a hurry? Ronzi sat high on the top, drinking a glass of wine and speaking in a slow tone.

"Master Guoshi, you have seen it, Your Majesty has sent a distress signal, there must be something Xiaoxiao who is making trouble, and I want to go back to protect it." Maude didn't think that this matter would have anything to do with the national teacher, after all, this is an important minister, and once something happens to the king, it won't be of any benefit to him.

After hugging his fist, Maude turned around and left with four of his own soldiers. But then more than a dozen guards from the National Teacher's Mansion appeared in front of them, and they stood one by one, blocking the road in front of Maude.

"Huh? National teacher, what are you doing here? Still didn't react, but asked with a puzzled face. From this point of view, this Maude is indeed relying on relationships to ascend to the top, and his ability to change is so poor that he is no different from a straw bale.

Without directly answering Maude's words, Long Qi just raised his eyes to look at the sky, and then said with a smile: "The national teacher doesn't think it's a distress signal, it must be just a little trick for children to set off fireworks."

"What? How is this possible. This time, without saying anything from Maude, the other ministers all looked at Lonzi with suspicious eyes. Anyone can see how powerful the explosion of the fireworks just now is, and no one other than the royal family can use it, even if they spend money, they can't buy it, but the national teacher did say that it was a child's trick, what does this mean?

There are people whose minds turn quickly, and their faces have changed greatly, and they think in their hearts, it won't be the national teacher who wants to rebel. Could it be that he wants to take advantage of the opportunity to ascend to power, or has he already taken root in mercenaries?

If it's the former, it's better, no matter what, they are ministers after all, and whoever becomes the emperor needs the assistance of his courtiers. Just because they can come to the National Teacher's Mansion today, presumably their status will not be too low in the future.

But what about the latter? Once the mercenaries get hold of this place, what else will happen to them? It's not a change of royal family, it's a change of dynasty, the Great Purge is inevitable, can they still be as important ministers as before?

More and more people thought about what might happen, and more and more people looked at Longzi's gaze changed. At this moment, Maude finally figured it out, and he suddenly stretched out his hand and pointed at Longzi and said, "You... You want to rebel? ”

"What nonsense, which eye did you see that your national division had rebelled?" Longzi snorted. Although he controlled the whole scene, before the mercenaries came, of course he didn't want to make trouble, and of course he wouldn't admit such a thing as a rebellion.

"You..." Seeing that Long Qi was still pretending to be at this time, Maude was also very angry, stretched out his hand and said, "Okay, if you are not rebelling, then do you dare to let General Ben out?" ”

Maude had already thought about it, no matter what the national teacher's move was, he would definitely send a large army to exterminate the national teacher's mansion after going out this time. Anyway, this person has already walked with He Guang, that is his enemy, and he would rather kill the wrong person than let it go.

How could this little bit of caution be hidden from Longqi's eyes. A person who can become a national teacher has an extremely high IQ. He smiled: "Now is the banquet held by the national division, in order to solve the various difficulties of the generals in the front, and now there is nothing to say, and no one is allowed to leave." ”

After casually finding a reason, Longzi sat back in his chair, anyway, this place was already under his control, and it was impossible to kill it with Maude and four personal soldiers. "Come, everyone drink, don't affect everyone's elegance because of a little thing."

As he spoke, Long Qi really raised his glass to everyone. At this moment, people were under the eaves, and they had to bow their heads, and after a little hesitation, the other ministers raised their glasses. In their opinion, no matter what the result is, there will be no good result in turning against the national teacher now. Don't you see that more and more soldiers are already showing up around? They were all armed with big knives, and their faces were fierce, as if they would fight and take people's lives if they disagreed.

In order to stabilize these courtiers and prevent them from causing trouble. Long Qi specially borrowed 500 soldiers from He Guang. With these 500 people, it is enough to stabilize the situation here.

Maude was still angry in his heart, especially after seeing that these soldiers who appeared turned out to be members of the King's Guard, the heart of Longqi was revealed. But it was precisely when he saw the appearance of these people that he had to coax. Because what he saw in the eyes of these soldiers was not the awe of seeing his own general, but a murderous face.

Relying on nepotism to get on top, it is natural to make Maude Fox fake tiger power with his hands, and even perform in his true colors, but if it is about fighting to the death, then he does not have such courage.
