In the night, Chang'an was quiet, and a needle could be heard falling on the ground. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

A black shadow came out of the princess's mansion at this time and walked towards the location of the firearms battalion, holding Yang Zhen's edict, and the servants of the princess's mansion went to the firearms battalion after several rounds of checks by the night patrol soldiers.

At the same time, Li San had already returned to his residence, unlike the streets outside the Minfang, where there were no soldiers patrolling, and when night fell, Li San blew out the candles in the room.

Feeling the darkness, Li San lifted his bedboard, and a faint light came from under the bedboard, and below this was a secret passage, and the location of the secret passage connected Luo Quan and Fiji's mansion.

After the secret guards entered Chang'an, this secret passage had already begun to be excavated, so that Fiji and Luo Quan could secretly discuss the changes in Chang'an City and how to deal with it.

And because Luo Quan's mansion and Fiji's mansion are only 200 meters apart, the excavation of this secret passage is not difficult, but even so, this secret excavation took almost three months.

Every day, the secret guards in charge of digging will always pretend to be grain merchants to deposit and transport the grain in and out, but in fact it is only the dirt in the secret passages that are transported out.

Descending the secret passage, Li San walked towards the end of the secret passage, which was Luo Quan's mansion.

"Knock knock, knock knock."

When they arrived at the exit, Li San struck six times in a row, which was the secret signal between them, and after the sound sounded, the exit was opened, and the butler in the general's mansion was guarding the side.

"Commander Li, the general has been waiting for a long time, please." The old butler said solemnly.

Li San nodded, and followed the old housekeeper to the main hall of the General's Mansion, only to see Luo Quan wearing armor and a sword hanging from his waist looking at the map of Chang'an on the wall.

"General." Li San bowed and saluted, now Chang'an is extremely erosive, the only thing he can really believe in this Chang'an City is Luo Quan and Fei Zhongshu, after all, one of these two is a son in the Qingzhou army, and the other is the father-in-law of King Qi.

Luo Quan turned to look at Li San and asked, "How is Du Yu?" Did you kill him? ”

"No, General Du claimed to have been ordered by the emperor, and now he is still in the princess's mansion." Li San said.

Luo Quan frowned when he heard this, "At this time, it is difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood, and we can't trust him." ”

"What the general said is very true, so in order to prevent Du Yu from leaking secrets, the princess left Du Yu in the princess's mansion, and now there are secret guards in the princess's mansion secretly staring, if there is an accident, there is my person, and Du Yu and the princess will not be able to live at that time." Li San said.

Out of caution, he did not expose the secret guards in the princess's mansion, but let the secret guards keep an eye on the princess's mansion, as Luo Quan said, no one can trust it at this time.

"Well, a person worthy of being the king of Qi, his mind is really meticulous." Luo Quan looked at the map of Chang'an City again at this time, and he said: "The firearms battalion now has only 8,000 musketeers, while the right guard has 50,000 soldiers and horses, and the outer palace guards are 20,000 people. ”

Li San heard the words and said: "General, our purpose this time is only to rescue Concubine Zhen and the emperor, and entering the palace is only secondary, the real purpose is to attract the troops of the inner and outer palace guards, and with the artillery of the firearms battalion, the city gate can be smashed in an instant." ”

Luo Quan sighed, "That's right, as long as Concubine Zhen and the emperor can be rescued this time, then with the support of His Royal Highness King Qi, he can make a comeback, for this reason, the old man will not hesitate to spare his life." ”

"Don't be afraid, the general, and accompany the general."

At this moment, a person's voice sounded, but it was Fiji walking towards them.

Luo Quan said: "Now it's all burning eyebrows, why are you only here now." ”

"I have to let this Chang'an City mess up, otherwise how can I take the opportunity to rescue the emperor and Concubine Zhen." Fiji said.

Li San had already known everything, he explained: "Today, Fei Zhongshu personally wrote a letter to tell the three emperors and the four princes about the affairs in the palace, and the three princes and the four emperors had doubts during this time. ”

"Well, it makes sense, many of the generals in this Zuo Wuwei and Qianniuwei are the people of the third prince and the fourth prince, even if they don't want to help tomorrow, they will inevitably flee for their lives, once King Zhao enters Beijing, they can only be reduced to protons." Luo Quan said.

Fiji said at this time: "We can't control the actions of the third prince and the fourth prince, the most reliable is ourselves, I have gathered all the guards in the house, just waiting for tomorrow morning and the firearms battalion to attack the city." ”

"All the guards in my house are ready." Luo Quan's face had a hint of determination, and then he looked at Li San, "Li San, our family will be handed over to you." ”

Li San's expression became solemn, and he nodded emphatically.

At this time, the three of them continued to discuss the siege of the city tomorrow, and then agreed to spread the news of the crown prince's murder in Chang'an City tomorrow morning to create chaos.

When the three of them were discussing this matter secretly, the third prince and the fourth prince were also like ants on a hot pot.

Originally, they were suspicious of Xiao Wenxuan's serious illness, but now Fiji's superstition suddenly made them panic.

"Third brother, this time we should help each other, the crown prince killed the king and usurped the throne, and then he will definitely kill you and me, and King Zhao's 100,000 Xuanjia iron cavalry is about to come to the city, and it will be too late if you don't do it at this time." Today, the four princes stayed in the palace of the three princes through a banquet, and the two have been discussing this matter.

Pacing back and forth, the third prince said impatiently: "What are you anxious about, what if this is Xiao Ming's conspiracy?" You and I are now watching from the wall, this concubine Zhen is trapped in the palace, and the most anxious person is Xiao Ming, if he doesn't move, we can't move. ”

The anxious look on the face of the fourth prince when he heard this was undiminished, and he said, "What if it's true? How should we deal with ourselves from now on? ”

"How to deal with yourself? King Zhao entered Beijing, I am afraid that in the future, he may be surnamed Zhao, not Xiao, and you and I can only go back to Yan and Chu respectively. ”

"The Kingdom of Yan and the State of Chu." The fourth prince noticed the change in the wording of the third prince's mouth, he still understood the third prince's current thoughts, and he said: "Our mother concubines are also in the palace, even if they go their separate ways, we have to take them away, after all, this is the mother concubine's maiden family." ”

The third prince nodded, "That's why I said that we only waited for Xiao Ming's men to move first, so that we would have a chance of winning." ”

"In that case, let's keep waiting." The fourth prince sighed, and then he sat down and stared at the burning candle,

As time passed, the night gradually faded, and just when the two of them were very sleepy, a roar of artillery suddenly rang out.

The third prince and the fourth prince stood up at the same time, and the third prince said, "You and I will each send troops and horses to attack the palace. ”
