1453 Bloody Imperial Rank

Several fires in the Huguo Temple rose at the same time, breaking the silence of the night.

Although the change was abrupt, as the guard of the Inner Sixth Army, who was in danger of the safety of the Gong, there was no shortage of contingency filings, and although no edict was issued, the generals of each army began to arrange their own vigilance and defense after noticing the abnormal change.

Long Xiangjun is mainly responsible for the guard outside the Huguo Temple, and as soon as the mutation occurs, he quickly controls the entrance and exit of the Huguo Temple and gallops around it, so as to prevent outsiders from taking advantage of the chaos to rush into the temple.

The armed guards were responsible for protecting and supervising the ministers and monks in the temple, and the soldiers were also under the orders of the general, quickly knocking on the residences everywhere, and driving the important ministers and monks and nuns living in the temple to the open area of the temple, which was not only centralized protection, but also strict supervision.

At the same time as the Wuwei army was moving, a team of more than 200 people rushed out of the temple, came straight to the Wuwei general, pointed out several important ministers, including Zhang Jackal, and ordered the Wuwei army to be handed over to them for guard and protection.

The general did not reply immediately, but turned his head and told his own soldiers to keep these people under strict control after they were found. Although he didn't know what the night terror was, he also knew that controlling these important ministers in his own hands would be beneficial and harmless no matter what the situation turned out later.

But soon the soldiers returned to the secret music after a search, saying that Zhang Jackal and a few others had disappeared and were missing.

Not to mention that the general of the military guard was shocked and seemed to have realized something, the more than 200 Chinese soldiers and soldiers waited for nearly a quarter of an hour, and when they saw that the other party had no sign of making friends, they no longer entangled, but quickly withdrew from this realm.

At this time, Zu Qing had already led more than 600 people to arrive at the West Palace, and on the way, he was reported by the family general that he did not take Zhang Jackal out, although there was no lack of regret in his heart, but he also knew that Zhang Jackal, an old treacherous and cunning person, naturally refused to pay his own safety to Zu Qing, and it seemed that there was another arrangement in the temple.

Failed to control Zhang Jackal at the first time, which meant that it would be difficult for Zu Qing's previous intention to kill this night to be realized, and the only way to do this now was to control the Lord Shi Hu in the shortest possible time, forcing Zhang Jackal not to dare to bite him back.

Long Xiang and Wu Wei each have their own scope of duty, according to the emergency record, the original Zu Qing's troops should also guard the east platform and not transfer without authorization, in order to wait for the edict from the west hall. If you leave the guard without permission and rush into the defense area of other troops, you will have exceeded the ban, and other troops can directly be killed.

However, since Zu Qing knew that Shi Cheng was not in the army, he naturally had less scruples, and soon led his troops to the defensive range of the West Temple, and before waiting for the other side to issue a warning, Zu Qing had already raised his voice and shouted: "Hou Qing of Yuxian County is in a hurry to enter this arch from the lord, please come out quickly and cooperate with our department to adjust the defense!" ”

The area of the west hall is the hardest hit area of the mutation, and there are three fires rising up, especially one of the warehouses is on fire, thick smoke is billowing out, and the fire is about to spread uncontrollably. Several generals were already leading their troops to fight the fire and rescue, but the outer soldiers had not yet received further instructions.

At this time, seeing Zu Qing knocking on the camp outside the camp for reinforcements, because he did not get the order from the peak, the commander here did not dare to make the decision on his own, so he could only respond: "Please wait for a while, Rong Mo will temporarily make a hurry." ”

Zu Qing did not forcibly rush to the camp, and after hearing this, he said: "This is where Your Excellency's position lies, enter the camp quickly, and don't delay the military!" ”

Zu Qing's nouveau riche reputation in the Chinese army is not low, seeing that the other party's attitude is still polite, the commander of the opposite side is also slightly relieved, and hurriedly sent someone to hurry in to ask for instructions.

After a while, Zu Qing took another step forward, pointed to several riots within the west hall and frowned, "What is the disturbance in the hall?" General Shi is not a new soldier, he actually connived at the corruption and chaos of the camp, and the lord held him accountable, who was to blame? ”

The commander here is not without suspicion of Zu Qing's arrival, you must know that even they have not received a new order from Shangguan, why can Zu Qing, who is in Dongtai, arrive so quickly?

However, after hearing Zu Qing's question, the soldier commander was full of sorrow, although he didn't know why the camp suddenly broke out, but he also understood that once the lord held him accountable, they would not be able to escape the responsibility of the soldiers. However, although they are both members of the Chinese military, Zu Qing is not his direct official after all, and he does not dare to reveal any information or conjecture at will at this moment.

After another quarter of an hour, the riots in the camp did not subside, but became more and more chaotic. Zu Qing's patience gradually wore off, and he said angrily: "The camp is full of accidents, the messenger is so delayed, Shi Cheng is seeking his own death, but I can't be delayed by him here to delay the lord's edict, quickly open the camp gate, let me enter the camp arch." ”

"Zuhou is angry, angry, please wait a little longer, don't make the last general embarrassed......"

"I'm not embarrassed by you, you are embarrassing me! Hurry up and open the door, otherwise Hugh will blame the sword for being ruthless! You can't escape the blame for the crime, you have to hug me and die together! ”

Zu Qing's face was full of irritability at this time, and he slashed straight at the camp fence with his sword in his hand, already with an awe-inspiring posture of murderous intent.

Seeing this, the commander of the army couldn't help but be even more frightened, he didn't know what kind of punishment he would suffer after this night, but if he offended Zu Qing, an upstart in the country, at the moment, even if he could be exempted from the punishment of the Lord afterwards, he was afraid that the other party would not let him go easily. What's more, the West Hall is full of changes, Shi Cheng as the general is guilty of his own crimes, maybe Zu Qing will replace Shi Cheng in charge of the Chinese army in the future, and it is too unwise to offend the other party at this moment.

After a slight thought, the soldier commander still raised his hand to signal for release, Zu Qing and his troops quickly rushed into the camp, and then he made a move, and several soldiers behind him rushed out and directly captured the soldier commander. Zu Qing stepped forward, pointed his sword at him, and said angrily: "Isn't the dog thief complicit in the rebellion? I have made it clear to the Lord that I have commanded an edict, and I dare to forcibly prevent me from entering the inner arch! ”

"Zuhou spares his life, please ......"

The roar stopped abruptly, the sword blade had already cut through his throat, Zu Qing put away his sword and looked sharply at the left and right: "Wait for the guilty pawn, stay here, wait for me to meet the lord, calm the riot in the camp, and then ask the guilty and wait!" If you want to live, stay here, and don't make the camp even more corrupt! ”

With that, he galloped with his sword, and hundreds of elite soldiers galloped behind him. Once entering the camp defense of the west hall, the camp ban was greatly relaxed, and now the military guards in this realm were already leaderless, and the generals who stayed here were either busy fighting the riots, or entering the front of the palace, and no one stepped forward to stop the rampaging Zu Qing and his party.

Soon, Zu Qing rushed to the front of the West Palace, where there were two Chinese army lords who led their troops to defend here, and saw Zu Qing walking to the front with a sword, and the two lords were shocked: "Why is Zuhou here?" ”

Zu Qing didn't answer them, but just shouted, "Where is Shi Cheng? The Chinese army has long been infiltrated by treachery and is causing chaos everywhere, and even I am in danger of being victimized by treachery! The Chinese army is the heart and heart of the humerus, and the non-keepers steal from themselves, how can thieves invade it? Quickly summon Shi Cheng to come to see me, otherwise Hugh will blame the sword for being ruthless! ”

"Zuhou, please be careful!"

The two owners of the building are Shi Cheng's henchmen, otherwise they would not have presided over the situation after Shi Cheng left, and they were furious when they heard this. As for the soldier commander behind them, after hearing this, he couldn't help but be shocked and suspicious, and many people also said, "Where is General Shi?" There is so much disturbance outside the palace, why is the Lord not seen for a long time? ”

"Zuhou retreat quickly, otherwise Hugh will be offended!"

The two owners knew Shi Cheng's whereabouts, but they couldn't say it clearly, and there was a sudden riot in the camp, and Zu Qing unexpectedly appeared here, which naturally made them feel alarmed, and they began to hold weapons in their hands and make threats.

After hearing this, Zu Qing sneered even more: "Earlier, Sun Fudu also scared me with such alarmist words, but fortunately, the Lord made a clear decision!" Today, I will repay the gentleman with a sword, who dares to stop me, there will be no forgiveness! Kill! Kill! ”

With a loud shout, hundreds of elites behind him rushed out, and the two building owners did not expect that Zu Qing was so bold that he dared to kill directly in front of the palace. As for the other soldiers who were not Shi Cheng's henchmen, after hearing Zu Qing's roar, they inevitably remembered Sun Fudu, who was unlucky before, and they inevitably lost their momentum when dealing with it, and they did not dare to step forward cowardly.

Zu Qing took the lead and directly killed the two building masters, and his subordinates were like a rainbow, but the opposite side was slow to respond and unable to resist. The front of the hall was soon covered with blood, the casualties were not counted, the two building owners were killed and wounded, and their respective henchmen and soldiers were also killed and wounded, and the soldiers under Zu Qing's command were also killed and wounded nearly 100. As for the other Chinese soldiers who did not dare to come forward to participate in the battle, they had already withdrawn a few zhang away.

"Lonely and loyal, die well, not too fast! When I see the Lord, I will ask for the name of the dead and wounded! ”

Zu Qing wiped away the blood stains on his face, and the long sword in his hand flipped over, and then he stepped over the corpses and bones on the ground, and walked up the stairs proudly. There were more than 100 steps in the hall, and Zu Qing, whose armor was stained with blood, slowly went up, and dozens of warriors behind him arched down, and no one dared to stop him.

In the main hall, Shi Hu had already been awakened from his sleep, and his mind was inevitably dizzy, and when he learned that the shocking change had occurred in the military outside the hall, his heart was already filled with anger. Later, there were also Chinese generals who asked to see the arch, but at this moment, he no longer trusted anyone, and just ordered the palace attendants to stand guard with swords, and no one was allowed to approach the main hall. And he himself was also dressed in armor, sitting in the main hall with a horizontal sword and knee, and the whole person seemed to have accumulated cold ice for thousands of years.

After Zu Qing killed the Chinese military guards outside the palace, those palace people who were holding swords were no longer a threat. These palace people saw that Zu Qing was covered in blood, approaching step by step, and there was a vicious aura flowing around him, and his heart was already palpitating so cold that his hands and feet were cold, and a middle attendant stood among the eunuchs, and said in a trembling voice: "The lord, the lord has not summoned the order, the ancestor, the ancestor and the marquis must not be angry with Tianwei, please wait for His Highness......"

"Loyalty, righteousness and diligence, how can a castration be stopped! I don't care about you! ”

Zu Qing roared angrily, the sword pointed in front of him, and the Wu Jiashi in the rear were already rushing up, killing or chasing those palace eunuchs, quickly occupying the palace steps here, and surrounding the main hall. When the palace people were expelled, Zu Qing also walked to the front of the hall, raised his eyes to look, and saw the stone tiger sitting on the top of the main hall.

Shi Hu also saw Zu Qing standing in front of the temple gate, his face was uncertain, his jumping and twitching facial muscles couldn't even make a proper expression, shocked or angry, his lips moved, and he opened his mouth to be hoarse to the extreme: "Qingnu, Qingnu, who is making trouble?" ”

Zu Qing stabbed to death several palace people who were injured and fell to the ground one after another, and only then did he restrain the surging killing intent in his heart a little, he entered the hall proudly, and said in a condensed voice: "Shi Cheng, the general of the Chinese army, has left his post without permission, resulting in misfortune and death!" The last general led the loyal liver and righteous courage, fought bloodily, sacrificed himself to the king, fought bravely in front of the emperor, and asked the lord to show his merits and crimes, so that the inside and outside are obvious, so that the feelings of the people will be safe! ”

When Shi Hu heard this, there was no luck in his heart, and the strength of his whole body seemed to be drained away, he stared at Zu Qing who was getting closer and closer, and let out a resentful low smile in his mouth: "Vertical, vertical, really traitorous and evil, rebel in the south and chaos in the north!" When I wanted to do great things in the old days, you were just a yellow-kissed child! ”

"The destiny of heaven has been chaotic for a long time, how fortunate is Zu to be able to obey the order anyway, worthy of the ancestors, worthy of the common people!"

Zu Qing had already jumped on the throne at this time, swung his sword and slashed off the sword on Shi Hu's knees, and cut off the corner of the imperial robe and picked it up in front of Shi Hu with the blade of the sword: "Blood can be used without ink, please ask the Lord to quickly send an edict to comfort the masses." If the soldiers of King Qin have no hope of life, then the Shi family is full of doors, and the heirs will be extinct tonight! ”
