Chapter 721: The Cause of the Rebellion
This rebellion came so suddenly, not only was Feng Changqi unprepared, but even Bai Huan only noticed a little sign five days ago.
Five days ago, when Bai Huan went down to court, he found that many of the Praetorian Guards began to neglect their duties, but Bai Huan only secretly mentioned it and didn't take it to heart.
More than half of those Praetorian Guards are so-called young master soldiers, and the forces behind them can contain the entire court, so Bai Huan did not investigate it deeply, but just let Yueqing manage it strictly.
Thinking of this, Bai Huan was even more angry in his heart, these Praetorian Guards who betrayed him gave them enough face, and they didn't know what to do.
Bai Huan's face was as black as the bottom of a pot, and half of the generals in the court rebelled, which really caught them off guard.
Yueqing sighed, after Bai Huan woke up, the first thing he did was to explain the ins and outs to Yueqing, Yueqing's expression became solemn, and the mustard before had also disappeared, Bai Huan actually wanted to protect himself, because he usually arranged a large amount of training, which made the Praetorian Guards complain, and it was okay to have Bai Huan behind him before, but once they successfully resisted, the first person to deal with was probably nothing but Yu Wuhopeless.
"No wonder." Yueqing raised his cheeks, his expression was a little solemn, no wonder those Praetorian Guards were so unenthusiastic about training, they had long had the intention of rebellion, so how could they protect the imperial city with their hearts.
There are five thousand Praetorian Guards in the imperial city, eight commanders, except for Yueqing, among the remaining seven commanders, five have already run, and they have also taken away three thousand soldiers and horses.
If it weren't for Yuan Zhen going to the palace last night, the entire Meng Li would probably have changed hands.
Feng Changqi was still a little unable to react, and asked, "Ah Niang, who is going to rebel." ”
Bai Huan gritted his teeth, but shook his head helplessly and said, "It's too sudden, and Lone has no clue now." ”
"In more than 50 cities in Mengli, there are more than a dozen rebellions." Feng Changqi frowned, this is definitely a long-term plan, who is this person, who can plan for so long under Bai Huan's nose.
Bai Huan sneered: "When Lone was on the throne, he didn't do anything out of the ordinary, they just rebelled, and this throne is unstable." ”
Since ancient times, there has been a clear reason for the change of dynasties, Bai Huan is not a faint monarch, so no matter who the other party is, it is untenable in terms of righteousness.
"But what did Lone do" Bai Huan twisted his eyebrows, still unable to understand why the other party rebelled.
Feng Changqi snorted, who doesn't want power, he also found a private dragon robe in Commander Liu's mansion before.
Thinking of this, Feng Changqi's head buzzed, this sudden rebellion may have something to do with Commander Liu.
Feng Changqi suddenly couldn't sit still, and she asked Bai Huan in a low voice: "A-Niang, do you remember Commander Liu?"
It has not been a month since Commander Liu betrayed and escaped, Bai Huan naturally remembered that when Feng Changqi mentioned this, Bai Huan also remembered it, and a pair of Danfeng eyes widened slightly, could it have anything to do with Commander Liu
After finding the dragon robe in Commander Liu's mansion, Feng Changqi and they did not hide it from Bai Huan, Bai Huan checked in the Praetorian Guard, but did not find any clues, plus Commander Liu had already fled, so this matter was just over.
It seems that now, it is necessary to find the whereabouts of Commander Liu. Feng Changqi hurriedly went to find Yu Hopeless.
Jade Hopeless is in the study, integrating the soldiers and horses under their hands now, and there are two old men with gray hair and beard in the study, although these two people are old, they can still see the leopard's head and ringed eyes, tall figure, and they are definitely not easy to mess with when they are young.
"The Imperial Maiden is here too." The two saluted Feng Changqi, Feng Changqi hurriedly said that he didn't dare, and helped the two old men up with respect.
These two people are extremely prestigious elders, they can definitely be trusted, Feng Changqi saluted the two, the two old men smiled and waved their hands, one of the old men pointed to the saber on his waist, the wrinkles on his face were full of anger, and said: "A group of bastards, our Meng Li is missing him to eat or drink, and he dares to rebel, I will go and cut them down tomorrow." ”
Feng Changqi twitched the corner of his mouth, this old man's surname is Zhang, he is a veteran of the Three Dynasties, he also accompanied the emperor to fight the country back then, his temper was very short-tempered, and he tried to fight the wind country before, after so many years, Feng Changqi thought that the other party was old and his temper could be restrained, but he didn't expect that the prestige would not decrease back then.
The other old man was younger than Zhang, but his temper was not inferior at all, slamming the table, and his face was full of anger.
"Elder Zhang, Elder Li, now that the other party has twice as many soldiers and horses as us, it is better to think in the long run." Feng Changqi said.
Li Lao snorted, he helped Bai Huan rebuild Meng Li, the predicament he had to face at that time was not easier than now, he could pass it then, but he couldn't get over it now
Yu Wuwang closed the fold in his hand and said, "Now we must first understand why they rebelled. ”
The two old generals both nodded, if they knew who was going to turn against Xiao Bai Huan, the two of them would be able to raise his ashes.
Both of them have military power in their hands, Zhang Lao's 50,000 horses are in the northeast, and Li Lao's men and horses are in the southwest, and the purpose of Yu Wuwang's calling them here is to mobilize these soldiers and horses, and they can join forces with each other, no matter how bad they are, they can also deter the rebels.
After the two old generals left, Feng Changqi hurriedly roared: "Master, do you still remember Commander Liu?"
Yu Wuwang thought about it for a while, stood up straight and said, "I forgot that this person once found a dragon robe in his mansion. ”
"That's right." Feng Changqi nodded like a chicken pecking rice, and said: "Before, Nuo Chen said to tell us the whereabouts of Commander Liu, maybe at that time, Nuo Chen knew that someone wanted to rebel. ”
Yu Wuwang frowned, so why didn't Nuo Chen tell them in the end.
At that time, the clue given by Nuo Chen was to let them be careful of Nameless, and told them that Nameless was the old man on Biyou Island, that is, the real nameless scholar, holding the inkstone.
But they all knew that because of the threat of the Yan, Nuo Chen had a lot of things that he couldn't tell them, but the matter of Commander Liu had nothing to do with the Yan, so why did Nuo Chen still keep his mouth shut.
Could it be that Commander Liu also has something to do with the Yan Yan Yu Wuwang knocked on the table lightly and muttered, "No, Nuo Chen has already reminded us. ”
Feng Changqi was puzzled, and Yu Wuwang explained: "If I am Nuo Chen and want to pretend to be a person, the first thing I want to do is kill the person I want to pretend, with Nuo Chen's martial arts, I can definitely kill Commander Liu, but Commander Liu is still alive, which means that Commander Liu actually has something we don't know." ”
And I'm afraid that Nuo Chen doesn't know much, so he can only tell them so vaguely, as for why he doesn't know why he can't say it clearly, then he has to ask the Yan.
"So what Nuo Chen really wants to tell us is that Commander Liu has long had the heart to rebel, and it has something to do with the Yan!" Feng Changqi clapped his hands and said.
Yu Wuwang nodded with satisfaction, Changqi understood quickly now.
"Then how do we find the whereabouts of Commander Liu?" Feng Changqi frowned, and Commander Liu was only the commander of the Praetorian Guard, unlike most of the young master soldiers, Commander Liu's family background was not prominent, but the dragon robe found in the Commander's Mansion could let a few people know that Commander Liu must be a leader in this rebellion, otherwise if Commander Liu was just a pawn, how could he have the courage to hide the dragon robe privately.
Yu looked at it hopelessly: "Call Chongyan to come here, maybe she will know." ”
Soon Chongyan came over and wrote on a piece of paper: "Nuo Chen, he didn't tell me anything. ”
The two were a little disappointed, and they didn't even know Chongyan.
Chongyan thought for a while, and then said, "But before leaving, Nuo Chen gave me a bottle of gold sore medicine. ”
As he spoke, Chongyan took out the gold sore medicine, and wrote on the paper a little puzzled: "The effect of this gold sore medicine is not very good, and I don't know why Nuo Chen gave it to me." ”
Feng Changqi had a flash of inspiration, stomped his feet and said, "Where is the White Divine Doctor, call him over quickly." ”
Bai Lanyu is still in the palace, although there was a rebellion last night, but it has nothing to do with the hospital.
Feng Changqi thought about it and decided to live in the palace during this time, even if he was worried about internal and external troubles now, the palace could not live without an owner.
Bai Huan also supported Feng Changqi's decision, but Feng Changqi still had concerns, and now there were not only them in the Jade Mansion, but there were also two that they could not ignore.
One is Yuan Zhen, and the other is the old man whose son died at sea and asked them to uphold justice.
However, Yuan Zhen helped Feng Changqi and them last night, and he was still barely trustworthy, and the only thing that made Feng Changqi unrelieved was the old man.
"It's better to put the old man in my house." Yueqing took the initiative to say.
This is indeed a good way, Feng Changqi nodded, although it was not under her nose, which made her a little uneasy, but with the other party's martial arts, if she wanted to do something, no one could stop her.
Yuan Zhen heard that a few people were going to move away, so he specially asked: "Those two girls will also go to the palace with them."
"Those two girls" refers to Yueqing and Chongyan, Yuan Zhen loves to be more serious with the three of them when he has nothing to do.
Feng Changqi said helplessly: "That's right, they are also going." ”
"I'll go too." Yuan Zhen said with a smile, as if by magic, he took out a furoshiki from behind him, which seemed to contain a few clothes.
With Yuan Zhen here, the safety of the imperial city can be guaranteed, Feng Changqi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that as long as someone can raise the bar with Yuan Zhen, he can be honest, and occasionally act as a foreign aid.
However, although Yuan Zhen is old, he is always a man, so he can only be arranged in the front hall, Yuan Zhen doesn't care, after packing up his things, he said casually: "It's a pity, Chongyan's girl is good anywhere, but she can't speak." ”
