At this time, the convoy was marching, and it seemed that it was about to reach the imperial city. Suddenly, the sound of killing on the left and right sides was loud, and countless rebels poured out and killed the convoy.

It turned out that Zhang Fangyuan and the other three were at a loss after being approached by Ye Muxue, and at this time, the two thousand rebels led by Zong Tianxuan who attacked the imperial city arrived, and when they saw that the three of them were here, they couldn't help but be very strange and hurriedly asked. The three of them didn't dare to hide it, and told what had just happened.

Zong Tianxuan was not furious when he heard that Ye Muxue had appeared again, and he had become Yang Yan's wife, he was already at odds with Ye Muxue, and at this time, he hated her to the core, and he was also very dissatisfied with the performance of the three of them, but now that time was pressing, there was no time to blame them, so he hurriedly joined forces with them and continued to march towards the imperial city.

Because there were still two pregnant women in Yang's convoy, they did not dare to gallop on horseback, so they did not go far before they were caught up by the rebels, only thirty or forty paces away. At this time, everyone saw that the number of rebels this time was much more than the last time, and they couldn't help but panic, fortunately, at this time, they were less than two hundred steps away from the imperial city, so Zhao Qianru couldn't take care of it anymore, and ordered the coachman to hurry up and run quickly, and it was easy to say when he entered the imperial city.

Zong Tianxuan and the others could see the convoy of the Yang Mansion clearly, and knew that it was Yang Yan's family inside, and when they saw the convoy suddenly accelerating, they also knew that it was not good, although the rebels were numerous, but they were all infantry troops, and there was no horse army, so it was difficult to catch up, so he said at the moment: "Senior Brother Zhang, Senior Brother Qin, Senior Brother Liu, let's chase." Saying that, he performed light skills, came out of the crowd, and caught up with the convoy after a few ups and downs.

There are also several disciples of Tianji Palace in the rebel army, such as Zhang Fangyuan, Qin Huang, Liu Jingtian, etc., plus more than 20 people who have trained them over the years and are outstanding in light skills, and they have also performed light skills and caught up.

As soon as Ye Muxue saw Zong Tianxuan catching up in person, she knew that she would definitely not be able to outrun him, so she immediately said, "Two sisters, you guys are coming into the imperial city, and I will dismantle it for a while." Saying that, he handed the shadow into Zhao Qianru's arms, and instructed: "Shadow, obediently listen to the words of the eldest mother and the second mother, and the mother will come in a while." Then he opened the car door and greeted Zong Tianxuan.

Zhao Yueru and Zhao Qianru naturally didn't worry about her being alone, so they hurriedly asked Tie Chenglin, Gu Xueping, and Ling Xiang to stay with dozens of people to help Ye Muxue resist for a while.

At this time, Ling Xiang and the others also came to Ye Muxue's side, each holding a weapon and waiting for the battle. When Zong Tianxuan and the others saw it, they didn't dare to act rashly for a while. After such a slowdown, the convoy ran farther, and the palace gate was opened, obviously preparing to take the convoy into the imperial city.

When Zong Tianxuan saw it, he knew that it would be impossible to catch up with the convoy again, and said hatefully: "Ye Muxue, you dare to marry Yang Yan and betray Tianji Palace, are you still worthy of your master?" ”

At this time, Ye Muxue had already returned to her former calm and calm appearance, and said lightly: "Shizun disbanded the Tianji Palace with scriptures six years ago, don't you know?" Since Tianji Palace no longer exists, how can it be said to be betrayal! ”

Zong Tianxuan was speechless for a while, but immediately said: "Tianji Palace has gone through three hundred years and more than twenty generations, how can it not exist without a word from the master." Since I am a disciple of Tianji Palace, I can't bear to destroy the foundation of hundreds of years, so I recruited my former brothers and sisters to rebuild Tianji Palace, and avenge the prestige of the palace in order to reorganize it. You are also a former disciple of the Tianji Palace, and you don't want to restore the Tianji Palace, but you still marry Yang Yan and assist the enemy, isn't it a betrayal? ”

Ye Muxue still said calmly: "The matter between me and Yang Yan is still with the permission of the master, whether you believe it or not, I don't want to explain more." It's up to you......"

Zong Tianxuan was stunned and said, "What's wrong with me?" ”

Ye Muxue said coldly: "What was the reason for the death of the Tianji Palace back then, is it so difficult that you have forgotten?" It's not because you are clever and sensible, saying that you want to move the master and all the uncles and uncles to support Zhao Kai. It led to the defeat of Tianji Palace, if you had listened to me at the beginning, Tianji Palace would have been there today. Now you still don't remember the previous training, and you still want to launch a coup d'état, set up another son of heaven, and do not hesitate to sabotage the recovery plan of the Great Song Dynasty. ”

When Ye Muxue said this, it was Zong Tianxuan's shortcomings that made him suddenly embarrassed and angry, and at this time, the other rebels also rushed up, Zong Tianxuan waved the long sword in his hand, and said sharply: "Everyone go up together and kill them all." ”

At this time, only the sound of "whoosh, whoosh, whoosh" was heard, and a feather arrow was shot from behind Ye Muxue and the others. Only a few people with strong martial arts such as Zong Tianxuan waved their weapons and pulled out arrows, other rebel soldiers did not have their skills, and they had neither armor nor shields, and they were immediately shot down in a row without rushing to defend, and the other rebels saw it, and they also instinctively retreated, and the whole team immediately became chaotic, scattering to avoid bows and arrows, and even Zong Tianxuan couldn't contain it.

When everyone saw that they were about to take advantage of this opportunity to kill, they saw a Song general come to everyone and said, "Iron Guard, Ling Sicheng, let's retreat into the imperial city." ”

Tie Chenglin and Gu Xueping are both guards in the palace, and they recognize this Song general as the commander of the Japanese army.

It turns out that the two armies in front of the palace are dedicated to protecting the imperial city and maintaining law and order in Jiankang City, and the two armies take turns to defend the palace, and they are changed every day, and today it is the turn of the Japanese army to defend the palace, and Yan Wei is on duty. After Zhao Chen received Gu Xueping's notice, he immediately summoned Yan Wei and ordered him to gather the forbidden army guarding the palace and strictly guard the palace wall, and Zhao Chen also went up to the wall to visit. Seeing that the convoy of the Yang Mansion had arrived, Zhao Chen immediately ordered to open the palace gate and let the convoy enter the city. Then he ordered Yan Wei to take 500 soldiers out of the imperial city to pick up Tie Chenglin, Gu Xueping and others.

Although Yan Wei scattered the rebel army with a burst of chaotic arrows, he also saw that the number of the rebel army was about nearly 3,000 subordinates, and the strength was far above his own, so he did not dare to pursue, so he asked Tie Chenglin, Gu Xueping and others to retreat to the imperial city with him.

At this time, Zhao Yueru got down from the carriage and stepped on the wall to watch, seeing this scene, she couldn't help but shake her head and sigh. Although she is not a general, but she has been on the battlefield with Yang Yan for a long time, and she can be regarded as experienced in a hundred battles, as far as I said just now, although the number of rebels is large, but they were shot by a burst of random arrows, it can be seen that it is purely a rabble, if it rushes up immediately, although it may not be able to quell this rebellion, but at least it can also hit the rebels hard, and deal a heavy blow to the arrogance of the rebels. It can be seen that although the training of the Touyu army in peacetime is good, it is too lacking in actual combat experience, and such a good fighter plane has been wasted.

After everyone entered the imperial city, they immediately closed the gate, and Yan Wei ordered the people to hold the city wall tightly. But at this time, the whole palace was alarmed, and the lights were bright, as bright as day. The pregnant queen Yue Ying, as well as Concubine Xie, Concubine Han, Concubine Yang and others all ran out, plus the palace maids who were carrying them, and there was a full block of people standing in the courtyard wall. It's just that Zhao Chen is now like Zhao Yueru and Zhao Qianru asking what is going on, and he doesn't have time to pay attention to them.

As soon as they heard that someone had rebelled and was attacking the imperial city, several timid concubines couldn't help but cry in fright. Knowing that their cry drove many palace maids to cry too, and when Zhao Chen, Zhao Yueru, and Zhao Qianru came back to their senses, the entire courtyard wall was full of crying. The three of them couldn't help but be a little stunned.

At this moment, only to hear a loud "bang", everyone was startled, and looking for the sound, it turned out that Queen Yue Ying broke a pot of flowers by herself with two chamberlains.

Seeing that everyone's attention was temporarily attracted by herself, Yue Ying said loudly: "What are you panicking about? Now it is just a group of young people who do not measure their own strength, vainly trying to rebel and seize the throne, but the emperor's destiny is given, and the expectations of the people are returned, how can these ants be shaken, and now there are defenders in the imperial city to protect your peace, what are you afraid of. What's more, there are still two armies of Gongsheng and Touji in Jiankang City, the number of which is not less than 10,000, and there are tens of thousands of troops outside the city, once they know that the imperial city is in danger, they will come to the rescue, just wait for the rescue to arrive, and the rebels will naturally collapse. Are you not disturbing the hearts of the army when you cry out like this? And also disrupt the emperor's plan to calm the chaos, from now on, those who cry and talk nonsense, this palace will not spare it. ”

Since Yue Ying entered the palace, she has always appeared in a pleasant and pleasant image, rarely angry, almost everyone saw her for the first time with such a powerful appearance, and they were all shocked at once, and the people who were crying loudly just now didn't dare to cry anymore, but sobbed a few times from time to time.

At this time, there was another humane: "The queen said well, from now on, anyone who dares to cry and talk nonsense will be executed at once." When everyone looked at it, it turned out that the Empress Dowager Zhou was also alarmed.

Zhao Chen, Yue Ying, Zhao Yueru, Zhao Qianru and others hurriedly wanted to give a big gift to the Empress Dowager Zhou, and the Empress Dowager Zhou waved her hand and said: "Now is an extraordinary period, these cumbersome gifts are all exempted." Then he pulled Yue Ying and said: "You kid, although it is a good thing to help the official family, you should also pay attention to it, you are a person with a body, in case you have a fetal gas, how can you get it." ”

Yue Ying lowered her head and said, "Niangniang was responsible, but the concubines were in a hurry and forgot everything." ”

Empress Dowager Zhou said to Zhao Chen again: "Official, the situation is urgent, you can arrange it here, I will take the queen back to the palace to rest." ”

Zhao Chen nodded, and then immediately ordered that all the concubines, chamberlains, and palace maids should go back to each place at once, and they were not allowed to cry, not to speak, and not to move around. He also ordered someone to arrange a residence for Yang Yan's wife and concubine, and Zhao Qianru managed it.

Then Zhao Chen ordered the imperial doctor to treat the queen's symptoms, because Zhao Yueru and Lin Yizi were also pregnant, so they also let the imperial doctor see the symptoms together. It turned out that after Yue Ying became pregnant, in order to be able to see a doctor at any time, she deliberately arranged the residence of the imperial doctor in the palace, and the four imperial doctors took turns to be on duty in the palace, so now there are imperial doctors in the palace.

After arranging everything in the palace, Zhao Chen discussed with Yan Wei, Tie Chenglin, Gu Xueping, Ling Xiang and others how to deal with the rebels. Although Zhao Yueru is pregnant, she is a person who has seen a big battle after all, so she also stayed to discuss together.

Now there are more than 2,000 forbidden soldiers guarding the palace, including 200 archers, and the men of the Yang Mansion are also included in the team guarding the palace. Because of the fear that someone will rebel, the walls of the imperial palace are usually about one zhang and five feet, and in some places it is even as high as two zhang, and there are also watchtowers and arrow towers, just like a small city. Therefore, it is still very strong.

At this time, outside the imperial city, Zong Tianxuan and others also reorganized the rebel army and approached the imperial city. But when I arrived at the edge of the imperial city, I found that the city wall was so high that it could not be climbed by manpower. Moreover, they acted in a hurry, and did not prepare ladders or other tools to climb the wall, so the rebels could only wander around the city walls, and they did not know what to do for a while.

As soon as the Song army on the city wall saw it, they took the opportunity to shoot at the rebels and fired a burst of arrows, killing more than 100 rebels at once, and the other rebels hurriedly retreated.

Zhao Yueru saw it on the city wall, and hurriedly said to Zhao Chen: "Official, the rebel army is chaotic, it can be seen that the plain has no training, just a group of rabble, and now it is retreating, if we take the opportunity to attack at this time, we will definitely be able to defeat the rebels." Maybe they will be able to crush the rebels in one fell swoop.

Zhao Chen nodded, although he had not experienced the battlefield, he often watched the soldiers' drills, so he could also see that the rebels were indeed not in order, so he ordered an attack. At the moment, it was assigned by Zhao Yueru to let Yan Wei, Ling Xiang, Ye Muxue, Tie Chenglin, and Zhang Wei take 800 forbidden troops out of the city to pursue the rebels, leaving Gu Xueping and Huang Mingxia to lead the remaining soldiers to protect in the city.

As soon as the palace gate opened, the Song army rushed out of the imperial city and killed the rear team chasing the rebels. When the rebels saw each other, some wanted to turn around and fight, while others wanted to continue to escape, but they squeezed each other and added to the chaos. And was caught up by the Song army, and the rebels couldn't resist it at all. was killed by the Song army and fell to the ground.

Zong Tianxuan and other disciples of the original Heavenly Machine Palace still wanted to resist desperately for a while, but the battle between the two armies was no better than the battle between the rivers and lakes, and the strength of the individual was really lonely. Moreover, among the Song army, there are also top masters like Ling Xiang and Ye Muxue, so Zong Tianxuan and others tried their best, but they still couldn't resist it, and finally retreated. The Song army took advantage of the situation to pursue, and killed hundreds of steps in a row, only to kill the rebels who were ambushed all over the place and fled in embarrassment.

Zhao Chen saw it very clearly on the city wall, and couldn't help laughing: "Sixth sister, you see that these rebels are really a rabble, with this group of ants, they actually dare to start a rebellion, it's really ridiculous." ”

Zhao Yueru shook her head and said, "The official family can't be too happy, this rebellion was planned by Zong Tianxuan, Zhao Hong and others for several years, and they planned carefully and acted cautiously. Taking advantage of the fact that most of the imperial army is now transferred out, all the generals are outside, Jiankang is empty, and it is really a great chance of success. Had it not been for the fact that someone had informed us in advance that we could have known about the rebellion a moment in advance, the outcome would not have been known. ”

Zhao Chen also nodded and said, "Sixth sister, you are right, I don't know who reported the news in advance, I must reward him heavily." ”

Zhao Yueru pointed to Ye Muxue's back in the distance and said, "It's her." ”
